Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Meadowbrook At Bloomer during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified multiple deficiencies in food handling and sanitation, including a dietary aide failing to allow a thermometer probe to air dry after alcohol sanitization before checking beverage temperatures, improper labeling and storage of resident food items brought from outside, and a dietary aide handling clean dishes with a soiled shirt and putting away wet dishware. The dietary manager confirmed these practices did not meet facility policy or expectations.
Staff failed to consistently follow infection control protocols, including timely implementation of contact precautions for residents with GI symptoms, proper use of PPE, and hand hygiene. CNAs were observed entering rooms without required PPE, wearing masks incorrectly during outbreaks, and handling soiled linens without gloves or proper bagging, contrary to facility policy. Interviews confirmed staff were aware of expectations but did not consistently adhere to them, resulting in a breakdown of infection prevention measures.
A facility failed to report an allegation of exploitation involving a resident with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. A CNA took a picture of the resident's private area with a personal cell phone to show another staff member that the wrong cream was applied. The incident was reported internally, and the CNA deleted the picture, but the Nursing Home Administrator did not report it to the State Agency, citing a misinterpretation of the regulation.
A resident with depression, anxiety, and PTSD had a completed PASARR level 2 screen, but the MDS assessment was inaccurately coded to indicate that no such screen had been done. This discrepancy was confirmed by the DON during a surveyor interview.
A resident with PTSD had a care plan that did not include interventions for known triggers, specifically loud noises, despite this being identified in a trauma-informed assessment. Staff, including CNAs and LPNs, were unaware of the resident's PTSD diagnosis or related care needs, and the DON acknowledged the care plan lacked clarity regarding these issues.
A resident experienced a fall during a mechanical lift transfer due to improper sling placement by CNAs, highlighting inadequate supervision and training. The resident, admitted for rehabilitation after a below-knee amputation, required assistance with transfers. The incident, which did not result in injury, exposed a deficiency in staff training, placing other residents at risk until comprehensive training was scheduled 25 days later.
Deficient Food Handling and Sanitation Practices in Dietary Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prepare, store, and distribute food in a sanitary manner, as evidenced by multiple observations and record reviews. A dietary aide was observed using an alcohol prep pad to sanitize a thermometer probe and immediately inserting it into glasses of milk and juice intended for resident consumption, without allowing the probe to air dry. The dietary aide stated she had not been instructed to wait for the probe to air dry before use, and the facility's policy did not specify this step. The dietary manager confirmed that the expectation was for the probe to air dry before being used in food or beverages. Additionally, the storage of resident food items brought in from outside sources was not in compliance with facility policy. The surveyor found multiple food items in the resident refrigerator that were either not labeled with resident names, not dated, or both. Some items were also kept beyond the facility's stated three-day limit for storage. The dietary manager acknowledged that all items should be labeled with the resident's name and date of entry and disposed of within the required timeframe. Further, dishwashing procedures were not followed to prevent contamination. The dietary aide was observed washing dirty dishes without wearing an apron or gloves, resulting in her shirt becoming visibly wet and soiled with food debris. She then handled and put away clean dishes while her shirt was still dirty and wet, causing direct contact between her contaminated clothing and the clean dishes. Clean dishware, including plate covers, was also put away while still wet, contrary to the facility's policy requiring air drying. The dietary aide indicated she was not informed about the need for an apron or gloves, and the dietary manager acknowledged the risk of contamination from these practices.
Failure to Implement and Maintain Effective Infection Control Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by multiple instances where staff did not follow established protocols for personal protective equipment (PPE), hand hygiene, and the timely implementation of contact precautions. Several residents exhibiting symptoms of gastrointestinal illness, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, were not promptly placed on appropriate contact precautions. In multiple cases, signage indicating the need for contact precautions was either missing or not posted in a timely manner, despite residents actively displaying symptoms and staff being aware of their conditions. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were observed not adhering to PPE requirements and proper hand hygiene practices. For example, one CNA wore a surgical mask below her nose during an outbreak of respiratory, COVID-19, and gastrointestinal illnesses, and continued to do so while passing lunch trays and entering resident rooms. Other CNAs entered rooms of residents on contact precautions without donning the required gown and gloves, and in some cases, failed to perform hand hygiene before donning PPE. Additionally, staff were observed handling soiled linens without gloves and without bagging the linens before removing them from resident rooms, contrary to facility policy and standard precautions. Interviews with staff, including the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Infection Control Preventionist (ICP), confirmed that the observed practices did not meet facility expectations or policy requirements. Staff acknowledged the need for proper PPE use, hand hygiene, and the handling of soiled linens as outlined in facility policies. However, the observed lapses in infection control practices, delayed implementation of precautions, and lack of staff awareness regarding procedures contributed to the deficiency in maintaining a safe and sanitary environment to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases and infections.
Failure to Report Allegation of Exploitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of exploitation involving a resident, identified as R131, to the State Survey Agency immediately upon learning of the incident. The incident involved a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) taking a picture of the resident's private area with a personal cell phone to show another staff member that the wrong cream was applied. This action was reported by the day shift staff to the Director of Nursing (DON), who observed the CNA delete the picture and completed a disciplinary action. However, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) did not report the incident to the State Agency, citing a misinterpretation of the regulation and the absence of ill intent. R131, who was not in the facility at the time of the investigation, was admitted with cerebral palsy and epilepsy and was dependent on staff for emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs due to impaired cognitive function and thought processes. The facility's policy required immediate reporting of such allegations, but the NHA and DON failed to comply with this requirement. The surveyor's review of the investigation file confirmed the incident but found no documentation of it being reported to the State Agency.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for PASARR Level 2 Completion
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for one resident. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, had a Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) level 2 screen completed prior to the MDS assessment. However, the comprehensive MDS assessment incorrectly indicated that no PASARR level 2 had been completed, despite documentation showing otherwise. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the MDS should have reflected the completed PASARR level 2 screen. The error was identified through record review and staff interview, specifically noting the inconsistency between the resident's documented mental health diagnoses and the coding on the MDS assessment.
Failure to Address PTSD Triggers in Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate interventions in the comprehensive care plan to address the needs of a resident diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The resident was admitted with diagnoses including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and was found to be cognitively intact and independent in daily activities. A trauma-informed care assessment identified loud noises as a trigger for the resident's PTSD. However, the care plan did not include specific interventions or mention loud noise triggers, despite this information being documented in the assessment. During interviews, staff members, including CNAs and LPNs, were unaware that any residents had PTSD, indicating a lack of communication and training regarding the resident's diagnosis and care needs. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the care plan should have been clearer and that staff should have been informed about the resident's triggers and appropriate interventions. The deficiency was identified through record review and staff interviews, which confirmed the absence of necessary care plan details and staff awareness.
Inadequate Supervision and Training in Mechanical Lift Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and proper procedures during mechanical lift transfers, resulting in a fall incident involving a resident. The resident, who was admitted for rehabilitation services following a right below the knee amputation, required assistance with mechanical lift transfers. On the day of the incident, two CNAs attempted to transfer the resident from a wheelchair to a bed but did not place the sling correctly under the resident. As a result, the resident began to slip from the sling, and the CNAs had to assist the resident to the floor to prevent further injury. Although the resident did not report pain or injury, this incident was classified as a witnessed fall. The root cause of the incident was identified as improper placement of the sling by the staff, which was not positioned adequately beneath the resident's buttocks and legs. This deficiency in staff training and supervision placed not only the involved resident but also other residents requiring mechanical lift transfers at risk for similar accidents or injuries. The facility's delay in scheduling comprehensive training for all direct care staff further exacerbated the risk, as the training was planned 25 days after the incident, leaving other residents vulnerable during this period.
