Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mabee Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain safe hot water temperatures in resident room sinks, resulting in water readings between 118°F and 122°F in three residents' bathrooms, including residents with muscle weakness, heart failure, and Alzheimer's disease who reported noticing very hot water but relying on adjusting the faucet themselves. The Maintenance Assistant Director stated that staff did not check water temperatures in resident rooms and believed normal hot water should be about 120°F, and the Administrator confirmed that maintenance was expected to spot check temperatures via mixing valves but that there was no formal policy for monitoring hot water, despite acknowledging that excessively hot water could potentially cause burns.
Surveyors found that several dual-occupancy rooms lacked full visual privacy because the ceiling-to-floor divider curtains stopped short of the walls and side curtains left large gaps, preventing complete enclosure of each bed. An interview with the Administrator confirmed awareness that this could result in resident exposure during care and revealed there was no facility policy addressing full visual privacy curtains.
The facility's kitchens failed to meet food safety standards, with issues such as expired milk, moldy fruits, and unclean juice reservoirs. Observations showed improper food labeling, inadequate hand hygiene, and improper dish storage. Staff interviews revealed a lack of cleaning schedules and confusion over responsibilities, despite training efforts.
The facility failed to properly label, date, and secure medications, with opened insulin vials and an expired Tuberculin vial found undated, and medication cabinets in four resident rooms left unlocked. Nursing staff were unaware of these issues, and there was no specific policy or training in place for medication management.
The facility failed to implement comprehensive care plans for three residents, including one with severe cognitive impairment and fall risk, another with paralysis and hand contractures, and a third with multiple diagnoses and a history of falls. The transition to a new EMR system was cited as a reason for missing care plans, as some information did not transfer correctly.
Failure to Maintain Safe Hot Water Temperatures in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents' right to a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment by not maintaining hot water temperatures in resident room sinks at or below 110°F. During observations on 02/24/2026, surveyors measured hot water temperatures of 122°F in the bathroom sink of Resident #46, 120°F in the bathroom sink of Resident #31, and 118°F in the bathroom sink of Resident #20. Resident #46, admitted on 02/10/2026 with muscle weakness and muscle spasms, stated she had not noticed if the water in her restroom was too hot. Resident #31, admitted on 01/05/2023 with Alzheimer's disease and muscle weakness and assessed as cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, reported that the hot water at his faucet had been "pretty hot" about a week prior but that he adjusted the temperature himself. Resident #20, admitted on 08/12/2021 with heart failure and muscle weakness and also cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, similarly reported that the hot water had been hot a couple of weeks earlier but that he adjusted the faucet to avoid burning his hands. The deficiency was further supported by staff interviews and facility practices. The Maintenance Assistant Director, when informed of the elevated water temperatures, stated that he believed the normal hot water temperature should be about 120°F and explained that temperatures were controlled at mixing valves, but that staff did not check water temperatures in resident rooms. He acknowledged he was still learning about safe water temperature levels. The Administrator stated that the expectation was for maintenance staff to spot check water temperatures and monitor them via the mixing valves, but also confirmed that the facility did not have a policy on monitoring hot water and that they operated based on regulations. The Administrator acknowledged that excessively hot water could possibly lead to a resident getting burned and reported that no residents had been burned due to hot water at the time of the interview.
Inadequate Visual Privacy in Dual-Occupancy Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that dual-occupancy resident rooms were designed or equipped to provide full visual privacy for residents in three of four rooms reviewed (rooms C-8, S-8, and S-18). Observation showed each of these rooms had an A and B bed with a single ceiling-to-floor curtain dividing the center of the room that stopped approximately 24 inches from the wall, leaving a gap. The A beds had side curtains, but each had an approximate 30-inch gap that prevented total visual privacy around the beds. During interview, the Administrator acknowledged that without full visual privacy in resident rooms there was a possibility of residents being exposed during resident care and stated that the facility did not have a policy on full visual privacy curtains. No specific resident medical histories or conditions were described in the report.
Food Safety and Hygiene Deficiencies in Facility Kitchens
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety across all four of its kitchens. Observations revealed expired milk in two kitchens, with one instance where a staff member acknowledged and disposed of the expired milk. In the rehabilitation kitchen, there was an accumulation of food debris in drawers, and the refrigerator contained moldy fruits. Additionally, juice reservoirs in two kitchens were unclean and showed signs of mold growth. Food items were found unlabeled in two kitchens, and handwashing sinks lacked appropriate trash cans to prevent re-contamination of hands. Further issues included improper storage of dishes, with some stored face up, and lapses in hand hygiene by staff. Dirty rags were not kept separate from clean ones in one kitchen. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of a set cleaning schedule and confusion about responsibilities for checking food expiration and labeling. The Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator acknowledged the issues, noting that there was no specific policy but relied on regulations and training sessions to guide staff. Despite efforts to ensure proper handwashing facilities, deficiencies in food safety practices were evident.
Medication Management Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals were labeled and stored according to professional principles. During an inspection, it was found that the medication cart in the secured unit contained an insulin pen that had been opened but not dated, and the medication cart in the rehab hall had two insulin vials that were also opened without dates. Additionally, the secured unit medication room contained an expired Tuberculin vial. The nursing staff, including LVN A and LVN B, were unaware of these issues, and the Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged that there was no specific policy or training regarding the dating of medications when opened. Furthermore, the facility failed to maintain locked medication cabinets in four resident rooms. Observations revealed that the medication cabinets in the rooms of four residents were unlocked and unsupervised, with medications easily accessible. LVN A and LVN C admitted to not checking if the cabinets were locked, assuming they would lock automatically. The DON and Administrator were unaware of the issue and stated that there was no policy or in-service training regarding the locking of medication cabinets. The residents involved had various medical conditions, including dementia, hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses, requiring multiple medications. The failure to properly label, date, and secure medications could lead to residents not receiving the therapeutic benefits of their medications or experiencing adverse reactions. The lack of awareness and training among the nursing staff contributed to these deficiencies, as they did not follow standard procedures for medication management.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plans for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive, person-centered care plans for three residents, which included measurable objectives and time frames to meet their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Resident #6, who had severe cognitive impairment and a history of falls, did not have a care plan addressing fall risk, despite documentation indicating that falls were a care-planned area. This oversight occurred even though the resident was on high-risk medications and required substantial assistance for transfers. Resident #14, who was completely dependent for all activities of daily living due to a stroke and paralysis, lacked a care plan for dehydration and the use of hand rolls to manage severe hand contractures. Observations confirmed the presence of hand rolls, and staff interviews indicated routine care involving these items, yet no formal care plan was documented to address these needs. Resident #22, with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and a history of falls, did not have a comprehensive care plan in place. The facility's transition to a new electronic medical record system was cited as a reason for missing care plans, as some information did not transfer correctly. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the oversight and the lack of a policy regarding care plans, which contributed to the deficiencies identified during the survey.
