Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Wooldridge Place Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two medication carts containing drugs, including narcotics, were found unlocked and unattended in a hallway, with keys left on top and residents passing by. The responsible LVNs admitted to forgetting to lock the carts and secure the keys, despite facility policy and prior in-servicing requiring medication carts to be locked when not in use.
The facility did not promptly report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft, nor did it communicate the results of its investigation to the proper authorities, as required by regulations.
The facility failed to maintain proper food storage, preparation, and sanitation standards, leading to potential risks of foodborne illnesses. Issues included a malfunctioning convection oven, improper placement of personal items on prep tables, and inadequate handwashing by staff. Additionally, dry goods and refrigerated items were not sealed, labeled, or dated properly, and trash bins were not covered. The daily cleaning schedule was not consistently followed, and the nutrition room refrigerator and freezer lacked proper temperature documentation and labeling of items.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during wound care for two residents, as the WCN did not scrub hands with soap for the required 20 seconds. This deficiency was observed during care for residents with wound infections and surgical wounds, highlighting a lapse in infection control practices. The WCN admitted to not realizing the shortfall, and the DON confirmed the expectation for staff to follow hand hygiene protocols.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment eloped from a facility and was found walking in a nearby field. The resident was unaccounted for approximately 15 minutes before being located by a passerby and returned by staff. The facility's failure to conduct a timely head count and inconsistencies in staff knowledge of elopement procedures contributed to the incident.
The facility failed to document vital signs accurately when administering medications affecting blood pressure and heart rate for several residents. Interviews revealed that RNs and LVNs often did not document vital signs immediately due to high workloads, leading to potential medication errors. The DON acknowledged the issue and considered adjusting medication pass times to improve documentation practices.
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, with deficiencies including improper storage of resident briefs, failure to isolate a resident with a positive urine culture for Klebsiella pneumoniae, and expired sterile urinary catheters in the Central Supply room. Staff were unsure about infection control protocols, and there was no specific policy for managing general supplies, posing risks to resident safety.
A resident's dignity and privacy were compromised when their foley catheter drainage bag lacked a privacy cover, leaving it exposed to others. The resident, who had a history of sepsis and cancer, was dependent on staff for toileting. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and training regarding the use of privacy bags, contributing to the oversight.
A resident experienced an unwitnessed fall, resulting in injuries that were not consistently or accurately assessed and documented by the nursing staff. The initial assessment failed to note a hematoma and dried blood observed later by another LVN, leading to incomplete records of the resident's condition. Interviews revealed gaps in documentation and communication, with the DON acknowledging the lack of detailed documentation and measurements of the injuries, which are crucial for monitoring the healing process.
The central supply room door was propped open, allowing access to harmful supplies like razors and lancets. Expired deodorant was also found. The CS staff, responsible for the room, spent most of their time on staffing duties, limiting oversight. The facility lacked specific policies for general supplies, relying on corporate policies.
Unsecured Medication Carts with Narcotics Left Unattended
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all drugs and biologicals were stored in locked compartments as required, as observed with two medication carts on the 100 Hall. On two separate occasions, medication carts assigned to two different LVNs were found unlocked and unattended in the hallway, with the keys left on top of the carts. Both carts contained medications, including narcotics, and were accessible to residents who were observed walking by at the time. The locks on the carts were disengaged, allowing all drawers to be opened and accessed. Interviews with the LVNs responsible for the carts confirmed that they had forgotten to lock the carts and secure the keys before leaving the area. Both nurses acknowledged that it was their responsibility to keep the carts locked and the keys secured when not in use. The ADON and Administrator also confirmed that it was the nurse's responsibility to maintain the security of the medication carts and keys, and that staff had been previously in-serviced on this requirement. Review of the facility's policy indicated that medication carts must be locked when unattended and that controlled medications must be stored separately in double-locked compartments.
Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect, or Theft
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and did not report the results of the investigation to the proper authorities. This deficiency was identified based on the facility's lack of prompt notification and communication regarding an incident that required reporting, as well as the absence of documented follow-up with the appropriate agencies. The report specifically notes the failure to meet regulatory requirements for reporting and investigation communication.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper food storage, preparation, and sanitation standards in both the kitchen and the nutrition room, leading to potential risks of foodborne illnesses for residents. Observations revealed that the convection oven door was difficult to open, posing a safety hazard, and personal items were improperly placed on prep tables. Additionally, staff failed to wash their hands after handling personal items, leading to potential cross-contamination of food. The kitchen was found to have unclean surfaces, including prep tables and shelves, and a dented can of fruit was not removed from the in-use shelf, which could compromise food safety. Further issues were identified with the storage of dry goods and refrigerated items. Dry goods were not sealed properly, and items in the refrigerator were not labeled or dated, making it difficult to determine their freshness. Trash bins in the kitchen were not covered, and trash was found on a prep table, increasing the risk of contamination. The daily cleaning schedule was not consistently followed, and boxes of frozen food in the walk-in freezer were stacked too high, obstructing water sprinklers and posing a safety hazard. In the nutrition room, the refrigerator temperature was not documented properly, and the freezer lacked a thermometer. Items in the refrigerator and freezer were not labeled or dated, and some were expired. The facility's policies on personal items, handwashing, cleaning schedules, and food storage were not adequately followed, leading to these deficiencies. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and adherence to proper procedures, contributing to the facility's failure to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for food preparation and storage.
Inadequate Hand Hygiene in Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, specifically in the area of hand hygiene, which is crucial for preventing the transmission of infections. During observations, the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) did not perform adequate hand hygiene by scrubbing hands with soap for at least 20 seconds before and after providing wound care to two residents. This lapse in protocol was observed during wound care sessions for a resident with a wound infection and another resident with a surgical wound, both of whom required enhanced barrier precautions due to their conditions. The WCN acknowledged the importance of proper hand hygiene and admitted to not realizing the insufficient duration of handwashing due to nervousness. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that all staff are expected to adhere to the 20-second handwashing guideline to prevent infections. The facility's Infection Prevention and Control Program, which is reviewed and updated annually, mandates such practices to ensure a safe and sanitary environment. However, the last skills check for hand hygiene was conducted several months prior, indicating a potential gap in ongoing staff training and compliance monitoring.
Resident Elopement Due to Inadequate Supervision
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents for a resident who was unaccounted for approximately 15 minutes. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, was found walking through a field adjacent to the facility. The resident's care plan indicated a risk for falls due to confusion, but there was no indication of exit-seeking behavior prior to the incident. On the day of the incident, the resident was last seen by a charge nurse walking from the dining room down the hallway. Shortly after, a third party called the facility to report seeing an elderly man walking in a field near the facility. The staff began searching for the resident inside the facility, but no one initially went outside to look for him. The resident was eventually found by a fireman and a passerby, unharmed, and was returned to the facility by a staff member. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in the understanding and execution of the facility's elopement procedures. Some staff members were unaware of the emergency color code for a missing resident, and there was a lack of regular elopement drills, particularly for the night shift. The facility's policy required a head count when a door alarm sounded, but this was not effectively implemented during the incident, contributing to the delay in locating the resident.
Deficient Documentation of Vital Signs in Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain complete and accurate clinical records for seven residents, specifically in documenting vital signs when administering medications that could affect blood pressure and heart rate. The report highlights multiple instances where registered nurses (RNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) did not document blood pressure and pulse readings on the medication administration record (MAR) or in the electronic health record (EHR) before administering medications. This deficiency was observed across several residents, including those with conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and dementia, who were receiving medications like Lisinopril, Metoprolol, and Digoxin. Interviews with nursing staff revealed inconsistencies in the documentation process. RN A and LVN E admitted to not always documenting vital signs immediately after taking them, which could lead to potential medication errors. The staff mentioned the high volume of residents they were responsible for medicating within a limited time frame, which contributed to the documentation lapses. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the issue and mentioned that the facility was considering adjusting medication pass times to alleviate the workload on medication aides. The report also includes insights from the facility's pharmacist and medical director, who emphasized the importance of checking and documenting vital signs before administering medications with hold parameters. The pharmacist noted that the current system did not flag when medications were held, making it difficult to monitor compliance remotely. The medical director expressed concerns about the potential risks of not adhering to medication administration protocols, which could lead to adverse outcomes for residents.
Infection Control Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by several deficiencies observed during the survey. One issue involved the improper storage of resident briefs, which were found in open packages on CNA linen carts and on top of an infection control storage bin. This was acknowledged by the Director of Nursing (DON) and staff members, who recognized the potential for cross-contamination and infection control issues. Despite recent in-service training on infection control, staff members were unsure about the proper handling of resident briefs, indicating a gap in adherence to infection control protocols. Another deficiency was the failure to place a resident on transmission-based precautions after a urine culture tested positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. The resident, who was cognitively intact, was not isolated, and there was no signage or personal protective equipment (PPE) outside her room. Interviews with nursing staff revealed a lack of clarity on the process for initiating transmission-based precautions, with some staff unaware of the resident's need for isolation. The physician assumed that standard contact precautions would be automatically implemented for infections, but this was not the case, leading to a potential risk of spreading the bacteria. Additionally, the facility was found to have expired sterile urinary catheters in the Central Supply room, which were not discarded as required. The DON and Central Supply staff were unaware of the expired items, and there was no specific policy in place for managing general supplies. This oversight in inventory management posed a risk to resident safety, as expired catheters may no longer be sterile. The facility's infection prevention and control program lacked effective systems for identifying and addressing such issues, contributing to the overall deficiency in maintaining a safe and sanitary environment.
Resident Privacy Compromised Due to Missing Catheter Privacy Bag
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's dignity and privacy were maintained, as evidenced by the lack of a privacy bag on the resident's foley catheter drainage bag. This deficiency was observed during a survey, where the urine in the catheter bag was visibly exposed to visitors, staff, and other residents. The resident involved was an elderly male with a history of sepsis, bacteremia, and cancer of the rectum, who was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene and partially dependent for other activities of daily living. During observations, the resident's room door was open, and the catheter bag was visible from the hallway. Interviews with staff revealed that the resident was not cognitively aware and had frequent moments of confusion. A CNA admitted to being unaware of the missing privacy bag and stated that she did not regularly work on the resident's hallway. The CNA also mentioned that she was still learning the facility's policies and procedures and had not attended any recent in-service training regarding urinary catheter privacy bags. An RN confirmed the absence of the privacy bag and acknowledged the importance of maintaining the resident's privacy. The RN stated that privacy bags were available in the supply closet and that it was the nurse's responsibility to apply them. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator also acknowledged the oversight and stated that the clinical staff should have placed a privacy bag on the resident's catheter upon his return from the hospital.
Inadequate Documentation and Assessment of Resident's Injuries
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan. This deficiency was identified in the case of a resident who experienced an unwitnessed fall, resulting in injuries that were not consistently or accurately assessed and documented. The resident, an elderly female with a history of a cervical vertebra fracture and other medical conditions, was found on the floor by a CNA. Despite the incident being reported, there was a lack of detailed documentation regarding the resident's injuries in her electronic health record. The incident report prepared by an LVN noted that the resident had fallen and hit her right elbow, with an X-ray ordered and a transfer to the emergency room for further evaluation. However, discrepancies arose as another LVN, who took over the shift, observed additional injuries, including a hematoma and dried blood on the resident's head, which were not documented in the initial assessment. This lack of documentation and communication between the nursing staff led to incomplete records of the resident's condition and injuries. Interviews with the nursing staff and the DON revealed gaps in the documentation process and a lack of consistent skin assessments. The DON acknowledged the absence of detailed documentation and measurements of the resident's injuries, which are crucial for monitoring the healing process. The facility's policy required thorough documentation of any new skin alterations, but this was not adhered to in this case, leading to the deficiency identified by the surveyors.
Central Supply Room Safety and Sanitation Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment in the central supply room on the 200 hall. The door to the central supply room was propped open with a large roll of plastic, allowing easy access to potentially harmful supplies such as razors and lancets. There were nine full boxes of disposable razors and 33 cases of lancets accessible on the shelves. Additionally, a full case of deodorant was found to be expired. These conditions were observed during a facility inspection, and interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Central Supply (CS) staff confirmed the oversight. The CS staff acknowledged responsibility for the central supply room, including ordering supplies, ensuring nothing was expired, and keeping the room stocked. However, the CS staff admitted to spending 90% of their time on staffing duties, which limited their ability to monitor the supply room effectively. The CS staff also noted the lack of a specific policy for general supplies and the absence of delegation to check the door regularly. Interviews with the DON and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) revealed a lack of understanding of the difference between facility policies and federal regulations, and the facility did not have its own policies, relying instead on corporate policies.
