Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Oceanside Care Center Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A survey found that the facility did not maintain safe temperatures for cold food items, such as tartar sauce and sandwiches, during meal service. The tartar sauce was not kept on ice, and no temperature logs were maintained, leading to temperatures above the safe maximum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
A resident with a history of falls and severe cognitive impairment was not accurately assessed for the use of fall prevention alarms in their MDS assessments. Despite physician orders and a care plan indicating the use of a floor mat and wheelchair alarm, these were not documented. The MDS Coordinator admitted the error, and the DON confirmed the alarms were in use during the assessment periods.
A resident receiving Risperidone did not undergo a gradual dose reduction as recommended by a psychiatrist and pharmacist due to the family's refusal. The facility did not document any clinical contraindication, and the primary physician was not informed of the recommendations or the family's stance. This led to a deficiency in ensuring appropriate medication management.
Failure to Maintain Safe Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
During a recertification survey, it was observed that the facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety. Specifically, on the day of the kitchen observation, cold food items such as tartar sauce and sandwiches were not maintained at the required temperatures. The facility's policy mandates that cold food items should be kept on ice or refrigerated to ensure they remain out of the danger zone, with temperatures sampled and recorded. However, the tartar sauce was found on the cooks' table without an ice bath, and sandwiches were placed on meal trays without temperature monitoring. Interviews with the staff revealed that the facility did not take or log the temperatures of cold food items during the meal service. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the tartar sauce and tuna sandwich temperatures were above the safe maximum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit, registering at 48 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the importance of maintaining temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent food-borne illnesses and bacterial growth, indicating a lapse in following the facility's food safety procedures.
Inaccurate Resident Assessment for Fall Prevention Alarms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure an accurate assessment of a resident's status during a recertification survey. This deficiency was identified for a resident who had physician orders for the use of a floor mat alarm and a wheelchair alarm due to a history of falling, difficulty in walking, and dementia. The resident's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments did not accurately reflect the use of these alarms, despite the presence of physician orders and a comprehensive care plan that included these interventions for fall prevention. Interviews with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator and the Director of Nursing Services revealed that the omission was a human error. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the mistake, stating that the assessments should have included the use of the alarms. The Director of Nursing Services concurred, emphasizing the importance of accurately documenting fall prevention interventions, given the resident's history of falls. The facility's policy requires the interdisciplinary team to ensure accurate and timely completion of assessments, which was not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Implement Gradual Dose Reduction for Psychotropic Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident prescribed psychotropic drugs received gradual dose reductions unless clinically contraindicated. This deficiency was identified for a resident who was receiving Risperidone for mood changes and delirium. Despite recommendations from a psychiatrist and a pharmacist to reduce the dosage, the facility did not attempt a gradual dose reduction due to the resident's family member's refusal. There was no documented clinical contraindication for not attempting the dose reduction, and the primary attending physician was not informed of the recommendations or the family's refusal. The resident, who had diagnoses including vascular dementia and aphasia, was receiving Risperidone 0.5 mg in the morning and 1.25 mg at bedtime. The psychiatrist recommended reducing the bedtime dose, and the pharmacist suggested a similar reduction. However, the resident's family member insisted on maintaining the original dosage, and the facility complied without documenting any clinical contraindication or further attempts to address the issue with the family. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the primary attending physician was unaware of the situation and stated that a clinical contraindication is necessary for not attempting a dose reduction. The Director of Nursing Services acknowledged the need for a clinical reason to avoid dose reduction but noted that the family's insistence prevented further action. The lack of documentation and communication among staff and with the family contributed to the deficiency.
