Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Colony Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
An LPN failed to follow infection control procedures by not performing hand hygiene before preparing and administering multiple medications to a resident with type 2 DM, despite facility policies requiring hand hygiene before and after each resident’s medications. The LPN later acknowledged forgetting and lacking hand sanitizer on the cart, and the DON confirmed that hand hygiene is required as part of standard precautions and medication administration practices.
Multiple rooms were found with unsanitary conditions, including urine and unknown liquids on bathroom floors, strong odors, running toilets, and dirty laundry left in resident areas. Staff and maintenance confirmed these issues, and cleaning or repairs were not consistently performed in a timely manner, affecting several residents.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was treated without dignity by an STNA, who spoke loudly and repositioned the resident forcefully in a wheelchair. The incident, witnessed by family and staff, led to a complaint investigation revealing a deficiency in the facility's adherence to its policy on resident rights.
A resident experienced a significant decline in mobility and was treated for a wound infection, but the facility failed to notify the family or responsible party of these changes. Interviews with staff confirmed that the responsibility for notification was not fulfilled, despite the facility's policy requiring such communication.
Failure to Perform Hand Hygiene During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in infection prevention and control related to medication administration when an LPN failed to perform required hand hygiene. Resident #29, admitted on 10/27/22 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and documented as having intact cognition on a quarterly MDS assessment, was observed receiving eight medications prepared and administered by LPN #215 without the LPN washing her hands or using hand sanitizer beforehand. During the observation on 1/28/26 at 8:29 A.M., the LPN placed all medications into a medicine cup and administered them to the resident without performing hand hygiene. In a subsequent interview at 8:47 A.M. the same day, LPN #215 confirmed she did not perform hand hygiene before administering the medications and stated she forgot and did not have hand sanitizer on her cart. In an interview on 1/29/26 at 7:00 A.M., the DON confirmed that facility practice requires hand hygiene to be performed before and after administering medications to each resident. Review of the facility’s undated Medication Administration policy showed it directs staff to perform appropriate hand hygiene before beginning medication administration and before and after each resident’s medications are administered. Review of the undated Standard Precautions policy indicated that practicing hand hygiene is an effective way to prevent the spread of infections and specifies when to perform hand hygiene for care between residents.
Failure to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Resident Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for its residents, as evidenced by multiple observations of unsanitary conditions in several resident rooms and bathrooms. In one room, an unknown liquid was found on the bathroom floor around the toilet, accompanied by a strong odor of urine, black staining around the toilet seal, and visible dirt and debris on the walls and ceiling. The toilet was continuously running, and residents reported that the bathroom always smelled. Staff confirmed the presence of urine on the floor and acknowledged that one resident frequently urinated on the bathroom floor. Despite having new tiles available, the bathroom had not been shut down for repairs. Repeated observations over several days continued to reveal strong urine odors and unclean conditions, with staff confirming and cleaning the area only after surveyor intervention. Other rooms were also found with unknown liquids, strong urine odors, and maintenance issues such as unattached floor trim and continuously running toilets. In one instance, a resident's room contained a plastic bag filled with clothes that emitted a strong odor of garbage and stale cigarettes, which was confirmed by staff to be dirty laundry. The facility's policy required regular collection of soiled linens, but this was not followed, contributing to the unsanitary environment. These findings affected six residents and demonstrated a pattern of inaction and insufficient maintenance of a clean, safe, and homelike environment.
Failure to Treat Resident with Dignity and Respect
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff treated a resident with dignity and respect, as evidenced by an incident involving a State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) and a resident with severe cognitive impairment. The resident, who had a history of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and other medical conditions, was observed by family members being spoken to loudly and sternly by the STNA in the dining room. The STNA attempted to reposition the resident in her wheelchair by grabbing the back of her pants, which led to a confrontation with the resident's family. The incident was reported to the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), who was present at the facility at the time. The ADON conducted interviews with the involved parties, including the STNA, who admitted to using a stern tone and physically assisting the resident to sit down due to concerns about the resident's safety. Witnesses, including another STNA and a resident, corroborated the family's account of the STNA's aggressive behavior, noting that the STNA could have handled the situation differently. The facility's policy on resident rights emphasizes providing care in a respectful manner and allowing residents to voice how they want to be treated. The incident was identified during a complaint investigation, highlighting a deficiency in the facility's adherence to its policy of treating residents with dignity and respect.
Failure to Notify Family of Significant Change in Resident's Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the family or responsible party of a significant change in condition for a resident, identified as Resident #83. This resident was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including cerebral vascular disease, vascular dementia, and other chronic conditions. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments revealed a significant decline in the resident's ability to perform basic movements, such as sitting up from a lying position and standing from a sitting position, which required maximum assistance from staff. Additionally, a physician's order was noted for the administration of an antibiotic to treat a wound infection, yet there was no documented evidence that the resident's family or responsible party was informed of these significant changes or the new treatment. Interviews with facility staff, including the MDS Registered Nurse and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the responsibility for notifying the resident's representative of significant changes lay with the licensed nurses. The facility's policy on Notification of Change in Condition outlined the requirement for notifying the resident's representative in cases of significant changes in physical, mental, or psychological condition, new treatments, and other specified circumstances. However, this policy was not adhered to in the case of Resident #83, leading to the deficiency noted in the report.
