Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mt Alverna Home Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with diabetes and severe cognitive impairment did not have blood glucose testing performed before meals as ordered by the physician. Instead, BGT was completed after the resident had already eaten breakfast on two occasions, as confirmed by MAR review and staff interviews. The issue arose due to changes in the resident's care routine requested by the power-of-attorney and staff not realizing the resident had started eating.
The facility failed to maintain clean and sanitary conditions for food storage and preparation, affecting all residents consuming food from the kitchen. Observations revealed open and undated food items in both dry storage and the walk-in refrigerator, as well as a dirty fryer with unsuitable oil. The Assistant Dietary Manager acknowledged these issues, which were contrary to the facility's procedures for labeling and dating food items.
A facility failed to maintain an accurate medical record for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses. The resident's dietary notes showed discrepancies due to a mix-up by a Dietary Technician, who documented another resident's nutritional information into the wrong record, leading to inaccuracies.
The facility's kitchen was found unsanitary with food debris on the floor, dirty equipment, and undated food items in the refrigerator. Despite staff training on sanitation and food storage, these deficiencies were observed, affecting all residents receiving food from the kitchen.
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu and portion sizes, affecting 29 residents. Staff served country fried steak without gravy due to confusion over meal tickets, and used an ineffective scoop for the watery gravy. Chicken dumpling soup was served in smaller portions than required, with mostly broth and little solid content. The brown gravy was improperly prepared with corn starch instead of flour. Despite training, staff did not adhere to menu and recipe guidelines, leading to non-compliance investigated under specific complaint numbers.
The facility failed to maintain appropriate food temperatures, affecting 29 residents. Observations and interviews revealed that meals intended to be hot were served lukewarm or cool. A test tray showed the food was below the required temperature, and the Dietary Director confirmed ineffective temperature maintenance due to recent procedural changes.
A facility failed to follow physician's orders for a resident's suprapubic catheter change, leading to a deficiency. The resident, with multiple sclerosis and bladder dysfunction, had orders for catheter changes every 30 days on the evening shift. However, records showed inconsistencies, with a Licensed Practical Nurse claiming a shift change request by the resident, which the resident denied. The lack of documentation and adherence to orders resulted in non-compliance.
Failure to Complete Blood Glucose Testing per Physician Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that blood glucose testing (BGT) was completed according to physician orders for a resident with diagnoses including encephalopathy, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. The resident had physician orders for sliding scale insulin coverage, which required BGT to be performed before meals and at bedtime. However, documentation revealed that on two occasions, BGT was performed after the resident had already consumed breakfast, rather than prior to the meal as ordered. This was confirmed by both the Medication Administration Record and staff interviews. The resident's power-of-attorney had requested that the resident not be woken up during the night or for breakfast, and that medication administration times be adjusted to when the resident was awake. Staff reported that on the days in question, the resident either woke up on their own or was awakened by family and began eating before staff realized, resulting in BGT being performed after meal consumption. The Director of Nursing confirmed that BGT was completed after breakfast on these dates, contrary to the physician's orders.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Sanitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food was served and stored in a clean and sanitary manner, potentially affecting all 142 residents who consumed food from the kitchen. During an observation of the kitchen area with the Assistant Dietary Manager (ADM), several deficiencies were noted. In the dry storage area, multiple food items, including white rice, dinner rolls, stuffing, granulated sugar, bread crumbs, and yellow cake, were found open and without dates. Similarly, in the walk-in refrigerator, open packages of salad mix, pepperoni, cheddar cheese, tater tots, and catfish were found without dates. Additionally, the fryer was observed to be extremely dirty with brown oil, indicating that the oil had gone bad and was unsuitable for cooking. The ADM acknowledged the unsuitability of the fryer for food preparation. The facility's dietary close-down checklist and procedure for dating food items, which require all opened items to be labeled and dated, were not followed.
Inaccurate Medical Record Documentation for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a complete and accurate medical record for a resident, identified as Resident #9. This resident was admitted with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, heart failure, and Parkinson's disease, and was noted to be severely cognitively impaired, requiring assistance with activities of daily living. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment indicated that the resident needed supervision for eating activities. However, discrepancies were found in the dietary notes, with concerns about weight accuracy due to hospitalization and diuretic medication effects. Despite these concerns, no additional dietary notations or assessments were recorded for November and December 2024. An interview with a Dietary Technician revealed that the technician had mistakenly documented another resident's nutritional information into Resident #9's medical record, leading to inaccuracies in the resident's medical documentation.
Sanitation and Food Storage Deficiencies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary kitchen environment and did not ensure that food and liquids were stored according to professional standards for food safety. During an inspection, surveyors observed wet and dry food debris covering the kitchen floor, a garbage receptacle with a lid covered in dry food debris, and a reach-in refrigerator with dried food and liquid debris on the shelving. Additionally, the coffee maker's dispensing spouts had caked-on dry liquid, and a five-gallon bucket near the dishwasher contained broken porcelain plates and was filled with fruit flies. These observations were confirmed by the Dietary Director, who then instructed the kitchen staff to begin cleaning the floor. Further inspection of the kitchen refrigerator revealed several undated containers of food, including strawberries, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and opened milk containers, as well as an undated half-gallon of apple cider. Dietary Aides confirmed that some of these items were personal belongings of the staff. Despite having received training on kitchen sanitation and proper food storage, the staff failed to adhere to the facility's policy, which requires labeling ready-to-eat foods held for more than 24 hours and maintaining clean storage areas. This deficiency was investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00158730 and OH00157687.
Failure to Follow Menu and Portion Sizes
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to the prescribed menu and portion sizes during meal service, affecting 29 residents on the east wing of the third floor. Observations on the specified date revealed that staff were serving country fried steak without the required gravy, as the dietary aide was unsure due to its absence on the meal ticket. The dietary director attempted to rectify the situation by instructing the aide to use a scoop with holes, but this was ineffective as the watery gravy ran through the holes, failing to cover the steak. Additionally, the chicken dumpling soup was served in smaller portions than specified, using a green scoop that provided only 4.5 ounces instead of the required eight ounces, resulting in bowls with mostly broth and little solid content. The deficiency was further compounded by the improper preparation of the brown gravy, as the staff used corn starch instead of flour due to unavailability, leading to a consistency that did not meet the recipe's requirements. Despite having received training on kitchen sanitation, food storage, meal preparation, and serving, the dietary staff were unable to follow the menu and recipes accurately. This non-compliance was investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00158730 and OH00157687, highlighting the facility's failure to meet the nutritional needs of its residents as per the established menu guidelines.
Failure to Maintain Safe Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain appropriate and appetizing food temperatures, affecting 29 residents on the east wing of the third floor. Observations and interviews revealed that foods intended to be hot were served lukewarm or cool. Specifically, a test tray sampled by a wound nurse showed that the country fried steak was lukewarm and dry, with a temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit, while the potatoes and carrots were cool at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. This was confirmed by the wound nurse during the test tray sampling. The Dietary Director, who had been working at the facility for eight months, acknowledged that the kitchen staff were not effectively maintaining food temperatures. The facility had recently changed its serving procedures, which included plating food in the serveries on each floor and covering it with a lid, but they stopped using warming pallets. Despite staff training on proper food temperature maintenance, the facility's policies were not followed, as food should be held at 135 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and served at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or above.
Failure to Follow Physician's Orders for Catheter Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow the physician's orders for changing a resident's suprapubic catheter in a timely manner. The resident, who had multiple sclerosis and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, had an order to change the catheter every 30 days on the evening shift and as needed for blockage. However, the Treatment Administration Record showed that the catheter was changed on 05/30/24 and 07/12/24, but there was no documentation of a change on 06/10/24, as claimed by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). The LPN stated that the resident requested the catheter change to be moved to the dayshift, but there was no documentation to support this change or that the physician was informed. The resident contradicted the LPN's statement, indicating that she did not request the change to the dayshift and that the catheter was still being changed on the evening shift. She also mentioned that there were instances when the catheter was not changed as ordered. This discrepancy in catheter change documentation and adherence to physician orders led to the deficiency, which was investigated under a specific complaint number.
