Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Clifton Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that two residents sharing a double-occupancy room did not have privacy curtains, preventing visual privacy when needed. An MT confirmed the absence of curtains, and review of the facility’s Resident Rights policy showed that residents were entitled to visual privacy. This failure affected two of three residents reviewed for the physical environment in a facility with a census of 137 residents and was cited under a complaint investigation.
The facility did not complete required BCI and FBI background checks for several new hires, including housekeepers, CNAs, a med tech, a maintenance director, dietary aides, and the administrator, as confirmed by personnel record reviews and staff interviews. This failure to follow facility policy had the potential to affect all residents.
A resident with multiple health conditions did not receive prescribed Bactrim DS due to an allergy-related hold by the pharmacy and lack of timely clarification from the provider. Despite communication between the pharmacist and an RN, the facility failed to secure an alternative medication, resulting in missed doses and inadequate documentation.
Failure to Provide Visual Privacy in Shared Bedroom
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to provide visual privacy for residents in a shared bedroom, as required by its own Resident Rights policy. During an observation on 04/19/26 at 10:18 A.M., surveyors noted that no privacy curtains were in place in the double-occupancy room shared by Residents #15 and #147, meaning the residents could see each other when privacy was needed. At 10:20 A.M. the same day, a Medication Technician (MT #418) confirmed that there were no privacy curtains present in this double room. Review of the facility’s Resident Rights policy showed that residents were entitled to visual privacy, but this was not provided for the two residents in the observed room. This situation affected two of three residents reviewed for the physical environment, in a facility with a total census of 137 residents, and was cited as noncompliance under Complaint Number 2606421.
Failure to Complete Required Background Checks for New Hires
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete required Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background checks upon hire for multiple new employees, including housekeepers, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), a med tech, a maintenance director, dietary aides, and the administrator. Personnel record reviews and interviews confirmed that these background checks were not performed as mandated by facility policy, which requires such checks prior to employment. The facility's BCI log indicated that background checks had been completed for all new employees, but further review of individual personnel records revealed otherwise. During interviews, both the administrator and the Employee Lifecycle Manager acknowledged that the required background checks had not been completed for the identified staff members. The facility policy on abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of property specifically states that only properly screened individuals should be employed, and that extensive background checks are a part of this process. The failure to conduct these checks had the potential to affect all residents in the facility, which had a census of 137 residents at the time.
Delay in Medication Administration Due to Unclarified Physician Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure timely clarification of physician orders, resulting in a delay in medication administration for a resident. The resident, who was cognitively intact, had multiple diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and major depressive disorder. A physician ordered Bactrim DS for the resident to be administered twice daily for an infection. However, the medication was not administered on two occasions due to a recorded allergy to sulfacetamide, which led the pharmacy to withhold the medication and request clarification from the facility. Despite the pharmacist's communication with a registered nurse at the facility, the necessary clarification from the provider was not obtained, and the medication was not delivered. The nurse attempted to contact the on-call provider but was unable to secure an alternative antibiotic. Consequently, the resident did not receive the prescribed doses on two separate days, and the facility's medication administration records indicated a hold on the medication without further documentation or follow-up. This deficiency was identified during a complaint investigation.
