According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of two out of five stars, including three out of five stars concerning health inspections, two out of five stars for staffing issues and one out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Develop Programs That Investigate, Control and Keep Infections from Spreading – citation #F441 date August 3, 2017
  • The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection.”

    Specifically, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) “failed to use the sterile technique” according to standard protocols. One resident was observed, “lying in bed, and the resident’s urinary drainage bag was touching the floor.” A different resident was observed the same day “in bed, and the urinary drainage bag was touching the floor.”

    In a separate incident, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was observed providing a resident tracheostomy care while donning sterile gloves after setting up sterile supplies in preparation for the removal of the resident's trach for cleaning.” At that time, “she picked up the container with sterile water with her sterile gloved hands even though the outside of the bottle was not sterile, and asked the State Register Nursing Assistant to remove the cap.”

    The LPN “then poured the sterile water from the container into the sterile basin, removed the resident’s trach, and placed the trach in the solution for cleaning.” In an interview with the LPN, it was revealed that she had not followed standard protocols to maintain a sterile environment and “should have asked the Aide to pour the sterile water for her to help keep her sterile gloves from becoming contaminated.”

    The Center’s Nurse Executive/Infection Preventionist confirmed that “tracheostomy care was to be performed in a sterile manner [according to] policy.” The “failure to follow the infection control practices related to tracheostomy care could result in negative outcomes, including respiratory infections, increased secretions, and pneumonia.”

    In a separate summary statement of deficiencies dated July 28, 2016, the facility “failed to establish and maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection.”

    The state surveyors observed a “soiled and rusty bedside commode; stains along the toilet bases and inside the toilet bowls; urine odors in the resident’s bathrooms; soiled privacy curtains; stained floor edges in the resident’s room; a soiled oxygen concentrator; and a [soiled] resident food refrigerator on the Providence Unit.”

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
