Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mesa View Senior Living during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow professional standards for food safety, as observed during a kitchen inspection. Multiple food items were not labeled or dated upon receipt or opening, and some packages were open to air. Interviews with staff revealed the absence of specific food handling policies, relying only on Texas Food Establishment Rules, potentially risking residents' health.
The facility did not have an RN on duty for at least 8 consecutive hours on a specific day, as required by regulations. This was confirmed through a review of RN schedules and an interview with the DON and ADM, who acknowledged the absence of an RN and the lack of specific policies for RN coverage. The DON noted that without an RN, residents needing advanced care beyond an LVN's scope might not receive proper care, especially in emergencies.
The facility failed to remove expired Bisacodyl Suppositories from the Sunset House medication cart, as observed during a survey. LVN A, responsible for checking medications, missed the expired item, which was later removed for destruction. Interviews with staff confirmed that all nurses were responsible for disposing of expired medications, which could be ineffective and potentially harmful.
A resident with Alzheimer's and other conditions was left unattended with crushed medications mixed in yogurt by a CMA, contrary to facility policy. The resident, who required supervision, was not capable of self-administering medications. The incident was confirmed through interviews and a written statement by the CMA.
Food Safety Deficiency in Kitchen Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a kitchen inspection. The inspection revealed multiple instances of food items not being labeled or dated upon receipt or opening. Specific items included a 4-pound bag of cheesecake filling mix, a 10-pound bag of tri-colored rotini, and various other food products such as spaghetti noodles, cracker crumbs, and wild rice blend, all lacking dates of receipt. Additionally, several items, including fresh grapes, shredded cheddar cheese, and turkey lunch meat, were not dated when opened. Furthermore, some food packages, like a partial bag of frozen pancakes and tart pastry shells, were found open to air, which could compromise their safety and quality. Interviews with the Dietary Manager and the Administrator highlighted the potential negative outcomes of these practices, such as the risk of residents consuming expired foods and the loss of nutritional value due to exposure to air. The Administrator admitted that the facility lacked specific policies and procedures for food handling and safety, relying solely on the Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER). This lack of proper food safety protocols and documentation could place residents at risk of food-borne illnesses.
Failure to Ensure RN Coverage for Required Hours
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the presence of a registered nurse (RN) for at least 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week, as required by regulations. Specifically, on August 24, 2024, there was no RN coverage for a 24-hour period. This deficiency was identified through a review of RN schedules for August, September, October, and November 2024. During an interview on December 11, 2024, the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator (ADM) confirmed the absence of an RN on the specified date. The ADM acknowledged the lack of specific policies and procedures regarding RN coverage beyond state and federal regulations. The DON expressed concerns that without an RN, residents requiring advanced care beyond the scope of a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) might not receive proper care, particularly in emergencies, potentially affecting their quality of life.
Expired Medications Found in Sunset House Medication Cart
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals were stored and labeled according to currently accepted professional principles, specifically on the medication cart at Sunset House. During an observation, Bisacodyl Suppositories with an expiration date of 11/2024 were found in the medication cart, indicating they were not removed after expiration. LVN A, who was responsible for checking and removing expired medications, acknowledged missing the expired medication and subsequently removed it for destruction. Interviews with LVN A, LVN B, and MA C revealed that all nurses were responsible for ensuring expired medications were disposed of and removed from the medication cart. They acknowledged that expired medications could be ineffective and potentially harmful to residents. A review of the facility's 'Storage of Medications' policy confirmed that the facility should not use outdated drugs and that such drugs should be returned to the pharmacy or destroyed.
Improper Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate pharmaceutical services for a resident, as evidenced by the actions of a Certified Medication Aide (CMA) who administered medications improperly. The CMA crushed the resident's medications and mixed them with yogurt and whipped cream, then left the resident unattended with the medication mixture. This incident was confirmed through interviews and a written statement by the CMA. The resident, who has Alzheimer's Disease and other medical conditions, was cognitively significantly impaired and required supervision, as indicated by her care plan and medical records. The resident's medications included Seroquel, Tramadol, Ativan, and Lisinopril, which were to be administered as per physician's orders. The CMA admitted to leaving the resident alone with the medicated yogurt while attending to other residents, which was against the facility's policy that requires medications to be administered safely and timely. The resident was monitored afterward and showed no adverse physical symptoms. The facility's policy also states that residents may only self-administer medications if deemed capable by the care planning team, which was not the case for this resident.
