Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Allied Services Center City Skilled Nursing during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain smoke-tight corridor doors, specifically doors 401 and 403, in a fully sprinklered smoke compartment. This deficiency was observed and confirmed during a survey, affecting one of nine smoke compartments.
The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions for three residents and improperly stored hygiene products in two shower rooms. Residents with conditions like MRSA and PEG tubes lacked necessary signage for infection control, and hygiene items were stored on the floor, risking contamination. Staff confirmed these deficiencies, acknowledging the need for proper procedures.
The facility failed to ensure accurate MDS assessments for three residents. One resident's significant weight loss was not recorded, another's entry type was misclassified, and a third resident was incorrectly documented as receiving insulin. These errors were confirmed by facility staff.
A resident with cerebral infarction and hypertension did not receive consistent application of prescribed TED stockings as per physician's orders. Despite documentation indicating application, observations and resident interviews revealed non-compliance, with the resident needing to remind staff to apply the stockings. The DON confirmed the inconsistency in following the care plan.
A facility failed to ensure timely action on pharmacy recommendations for a resident's medication administration. The resident, with osteomyelitis and GERD, was prescribed sucralfate, but the physician did not adjust administration times as recommended by the pharmacist. This oversight was identified during a review of records and staff interviews, and the issue was later confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator.
Non-Compliance with Corridor Door Smoke-Tightness
Penalty
Summary
The facility was found to be non-compliant with the Life Safety Code requirements during a Medicare/Medicaid Recertification Survey. Specifically, the deficiency was related to the maintenance of corridor doors, which are required to resist the passage of smoke in a fully sprinklered smoke compartment. The survey identified that two corridor doors, numbered 401 and 403, were not smoke-tight, thus failing to meet the necessary safety standards. The observation of these deficiencies occurred on January 22, 2025, between 10:44 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. The issue was confirmed during an exit interview with the Facility Administrator and the Facilities Manager later that morning. The deficiency affected one of the nine smoke compartments in the facility, indicating a lapse in maintaining the required safety measures for corridor openings.
Plan Of Correction
Corridor doors on rooms 401 and 403 will be adjusted or modified to achieve smoke tight integrity. The facilities computerized maintenance system will schedule a monthly work order to inspect the doors for smoke-tight integrity.
Failure to Implement Infection Control and Proper Storage Procedures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier infection control procedures for three residents and did not properly store resident hygiene and personal products in two shower rooms. For Residents 28, 33, and 56, there were no signs or postings indicating that they were on enhanced barrier precautions, despite physician orders requiring such precautions due to conditions like MRSA in urine, a PEG tube, and an indwelling urinary catheter. Observations confirmed the absence of required signage, and staff interviews corroborated that the rooms should have been marked to indicate the need for gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities. Additionally, the facility did not ensure proper storage of resident hygiene products, as observed in the 3rd and 4th-floor shower rooms. Items such as incontinence briefs, a hairdryer, and sanitizing wipes were stored directly on the floor and in a bathtub, which poses a risk of contamination. Staff interviews confirmed that these items should not be stored in such a manner, and the Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged the facility's responsibility to implement proper infection control procedures, including the correct storage of personal products.
Plan Of Correction
1. Resident 28's contact precautions were discontinued and enhanced barrier precautions were implemented with indicators applied to the door. Resident 33 had appropriate enhanced barrier precaution indicators applied to the door. Resident 56 was discharged from the facility. The 3rd and 4th floor shower rooms were immediately cleaned. Items were removed from the floor and disposed of appropriately. Hair dryers were sanitized and stored appropriately. 2. The facility will complete an audit of current residents to ensure those requiring enhanced barrier precautions have appropriate indicators in place to ensure staff are aware. The facility will complete an audit of the shower rooms to ensure residents' personal products are stored properly. 3. The Infection Preventionist/designee will educate staff on the facility's enhanced barrier precautions policy and protocol. The Infection Preventionist/designee will educate clinical staff on proper storage of resident personal items and hygiene products. 4. The Infection Preventionist/designee will perform weekly audits of sampled residents with enhanced barrier precautions to ensure there are proper indicators in place. The Infection Preventionist/designee will perform weekly audits of shower rooms to ensure the proper storage of resident personal items and hygiene products. Results will be reviewed at the facility's monthly QAPI meeting. Audits will continue until substantial compliance is reached.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessments accurately reflected the status of three residents. For one resident, the MDS assessment inaccurately reported no significant weight loss, despite a documented 10.04% weight loss over six months. This discrepancy was confirmed by the Registered Dietitian during an interview. Another resident's MDS assessment incorrectly coded the type of entry as an admission instead of a reentry after a hospital transfer, as confirmed by the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC). Additionally, a third resident's MDS assessment inaccurately indicated that the resident received insulin injections, despite no documented evidence or physician order for such treatment. This error was also confirmed by the RNAC. These inaccuracies in the MDS assessments highlight a failure in accurately documenting and reflecting the residents' medical statuses, as required by the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) guidelines.
Plan Of Correction
1. Resident 34 still resides at facility and her MDS has been modified. Resident 8 still resides at facility and her MDS has been modified to reflect her admission date. Resident 31 no longer resides at facility. His MDS has been modified. 2. The facility will complete an audit of the most recently completed MDS for each current resident, to ensure Sections K0300, A1700, and N0350 are coded correctly. 3. The DON/designee will provide education to the RNAC on MDS accuracy of Sections K0300, A1700, and N0350. 4. The Consultant RNAC/designee will perform weekly audits of sampled MDS Sections K0300, A1700, and N0350 to ensure they are coded correctly. Results will be reviewed at the facility's monthly QAPI meeting. Audits will continue until substantial compliance is reached.
Failure to Consistently Apply Compression Stockings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide person-centered care by not adhering to a physician's order for the consistent application of compression stockings for a resident. Resident 22, who was admitted with diagnoses of cerebral infarction and essential hypertension, had a physician's order for TED stockings to be applied in the morning and removed in the evening. However, observations and interviews revealed that the resident was not wearing the stockings as ordered, and the resident reported that staff did not assist with their application on the day of the survey. The resident's January 2025 Treatment Administration Record inaccurately documented that the stockings were applied, which was inconsistent with the resident's statements and observed findings. The resident also indicated that she had to remind the nurse to apply the stockings, suggesting a lack of adherence to the prescribed care plan. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff did not consistently follow the physician's orders regarding the application and removal of the TED stockings.
Plan Of Correction
1. Resident 22 will have TED stockings applied, per physician's orders. 2. The facility will complete an audit of residents with physicians' orders for TED stockings to ensure they are properly applied. 3. The DON/designee will provide education to licensed nurses about consistently following physicians' orders regarding the application and removal of TED stockings. 4. The DON/designee will perform weekly audits of sampled residents with physician orders for TED stockings to ensure proper application. Results will be reviewed at the facility's monthly QAPI meeting. Audits will continue until substantial compliance is reached.
Failure to Act on Pharmacy Recommendations for Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a physician acted timely upon irregularities identified by pharmacy services during drug regimen reviews for a resident. The resident, who was admitted with osteomyelitis and GERD, was prescribed sucralfate for GERD. A pharmacy note dated November 4, 2024, recommended altering the administration times of sucralfate to align with the manufacturer's instructions, which suggest administering the medication on an empty stomach prior to meals and at bedtime. However, the physician's response did not address this recommendation, and no changes were made to the medication administration times. The deficiency was identified during a review of clinical records, facility-provided medication information, and staff interviews. Despite the pharmacist's recommendation, the physician's order for sucralfate remained unchanged until January 9, 2025, when it was revised to include the recommended administration times. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the facility's responsibility to ensure timely action on pharmacy-identified irregularities, highlighting a lapse in the facility's compliance with this requirement.
Plan Of Correction
1. Resident 56 no longer resides at the facility. His medication order was revised to include pharmacist's recommendation prior to his discharge. 2. The facility will complete an audit of the most recent medication regimen reviews for all current residents, to ensure physician responses address the pharmacist's recommendation. 3. The DON/designee will educate physicians and their extenders on addressing pharmacy recommendations appropriately. 4. The DON/designee will perform monthly audits of sampled residents' medication regimen reviews to ensure appropriate responses were provided by physicians and physician extenders. Results will be reviewed at the facility's monthly QAPI meeting. Audits will continue until substantial compliance is reached.
