According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and two out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state investigators, “the facility failed to implement infection control and prevention by not washing their hands and disinfecting resident equipment.” In one incident, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was observed delivering a lunch tray to a resident in the southwest hall. The CNA failed to wash her hands and did not use hand sanitizer.”
Three minutes later, the CNA delivered another resident’s tray “without washing her hands. The CNA dusted off the resident’s bedside table and did not wash her hands or use hand sanitizer as she left the room.”
Four minutes later, the same CNA was observed “delivering the tray to a resident in the sunroom. The CNA set up the resident’s tray and removed the chair so the resident could reach the table in his wheelchair. As the CNA was leaving the sunroom, she patted the resident on his back. The CNA went back to the hall trays and removed and the resident’s trait without washing or sanitizing her hands.”
The nursing home “failed to provide a clean home-like environment without odors for seven of twenty-two residents who lived on the Northeast Hall.” The survey team observed four rooms on January 7, 2019, with “old urine odors.” Two days later, the two of those four rooms still “had strong, old, urine odors.”
Later that afternoon, during a tour of the North East Hall, the four rooms listed above “continue to have strong, old, urine odors. The evening Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated she noticed a smell but was not able to identify the source.”
That CNA stated that “the residents were often in urine when she came in for her shift.” The survey team interviewed the facility Administrator “regarding odors in the facility. The Administrator stated the odors were due to a resident’s wheelchair and another resident’s recliner. The Administrator stated a family member was to pick up the wheelchair and the other family would be cleaned the resident’s personal recliner.”
