Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pickering Manor Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain fire safety in a hazardous area, as the West storage room door on the second floor had significant damage and failed to engage properly. This deficiency was observed and confirmed during two separate inspections.
The facility failed to conduct the required annual testing of hospital-grade electrical receptacles at patient bed locations, as mandated by NFPA 101 standards. During a document review, it was discovered that the facility could not provide documentation to confirm that the necessary testing had been performed in the previous 12 months. A subsequent onsite revisit further confirmed the deficiency, as the facility was still unable to provide the required documentation.
The facility failed to maintain proper food storage and sanitation in both the main and rehabilitation unit kitchens. Observations included undated and improperly stored food items, such as a pan of sliced ham steaks, an unwrapped chicken patty, and various opened containers with expired use-by dates. Additionally, there were issues with cleanliness, such as a red liquid on the floor and food debris in utensil drawers. The Director of Dining Services confirmed these deficiencies.
Deficient Fire Safety in Hazardous Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain hazardous areas in compliance with fire safety regulations, specifically in sprinklered locations. During an observation on November 7, 2024, it was noted that the door to the West storage room on the second floor had significant damage around the latch, which failed to engage when tested. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day. A follow-up observation during an onsite revisit on January 8, 2025, revealed that the issue with the West storage room door had not been addressed. The door still exhibited significant damage around the latch, and it continued to fail to engage properly. This ongoing deficiency was again confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director.
Plan Of Correction
In response to the deficiency of the West storage room door having significant damage around the latch and failing when tested, a new door has been ordered. We will be completing a time limited waiver by January 31, 2025.
Failure to Conduct Annual Receptacle Testing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct the required annual testing of hospital-grade electrical receptacles at patient bed locations, as mandated by NFPA 101 standards. During a document review on October 1, 2024, it was discovered that the facility could not provide documentation to confirm that the necessary testing had been performed in the previous 12 months. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on November 7, 2024. A subsequent onsite revisit on January 8, 2025, further confirmed the deficiency, as the facility was still unable to provide the required documentation for the annual receptacle testing at patient bed locations. This continued lack of compliance was again acknowledged during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director on the same day.
Plan Of Correction
In response to the annual receptacle testing not being completed in a timely manner, the Maintenance staff will be inserviced on the importance of receptacle testing and proper dating of the log. This is to be completed by January 31, 2025.
Food Storage and Sanitation Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy on food storage and sanitation, as evidenced by multiple observations in both the main kitchen and the rehabilitation unit kitchen. In the main kitchen, a red liquid was found on the floor under shelves where meat was thawing, and a pan of sliced ham steaks was not dated. Additionally, an unwrapped chicken patty and an ice cream sandwich were found on the floor of the walk-in freezer. Other issues included undated food items, such as macaroni and cheese and stewed tomatoes, and improper storage of condiments and utensils, with a sugar packet and syrup container on the floor and a single glove next to opened shredded coconut. The cooks' preparation area also had a drawer with clean whisks that contained food debris. In the rehabilitation unit kitchen, similar deficiencies were noted. An opened container of sour cream with an expired use-by date and an uncovered broken egg were found in the upright cooler. The upright freezer contained undated, opened bags of various food items, including cinnamon raisin bagels and home fries. The reach-in cooler in the dining room serving area had undated, opened containers of orange juice concentrate, liquid egg product, and butter packages. Additionally, an opened plain bag with an undated onion bagel was found in the reach-in freezer. The Director of Dining Services confirmed that these items should have been dated and expired items removed, indicating a failure to maintain proper food storage and sanitation standards.
