What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline plan of care for 2 of 2 residents reviewed in a total sample of 40 residents (#676 & 677). Findings: 1. Resident #676 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with muscle weakness falls, myelodysplastic syndrome, cancer and multiple comorbidities. She left the facility and returned on10/28/21. On 11/01/21 at 11:32 AM, she had a left side chest catheter with a sealed covering with tubing extending outside the covering, dated 10/28/21. The resident said that it was used for a chemotherapy treatment for a blood disorder. It was flushed daily when she was in the hospital. The staff at the facility covered it with a plastic bag when she showered but no one changed the sealed dressing. When asked about her plan of care, the resident did not recall an initial care plan in writing but the facility may have had a phone call with a family member. The admission orders entered on 10/27/21 did not include any monitoring of the catheter site. There were no additional orders added when she returned on 10/28/21 after a hospitalization. The initial nursing assessment, dated 10/28/21, did not reflect the catheter or port site. The State of Florida Form 3008, a hospital information transfer form, identified an implanted Port in the left chest inserted in 1989. Interview on 11/03/21 at 4:22 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B said that during shift report and information that was passed along from the hospital, she was informed not to touch the catheter. At 4:49 PM, LPN D was aware resident #676 had the access port but she was not aware of any orders. On 11/03/21at 5:03 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said We would not have flushed it [port via catheter]. Per her conversation with resident #676, she was supposed to go to chemotherapy on 11/01/21 but the resident had cancelled the appointment and did not inform the facility. The DON confirmed that there was no initial plan of care for the external access to the port. A central venous catheter is a tube that goes into a vein in your arm or chest and ends at the right side of your heart (right atrium). If the catheter is in your chest, sometimes it is attached to a device called a port that will be under your skin The catheter helps carry nutrients and medicine into your body. It will also be used to take blood when you need to have blood tests. Having a port attached to your catheter will cause less wear and tear on your veins than just having the catheter.

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure all dietary staff were trained to operate a temporary dishwashing machine. Residents Affected - Some Findings: On 11/02/21 at 10:28 AM, the dishwashing machine was a low temperature machine. The Wash temperature was 120°F, rinse temperature was 120°F. The water very sudsy. There was no sanitizer present The Food Service Director (FSD) said that they had washed the dishes yesterday with pot and pan soap. The sanitizer did not function properly. The FSD said that the dishwashing machine changed out while she was on vacation. She had always used a high temperature dishwashing machine. She was not trained on how to operate this machine. When asked how the staff were trained to use the temporary machine. She did not have a response. On 11/02/21 at 11:33 AM, the Regional Director of Dietary Service said she would look for the and training procedures for dishwashing, and the orientation checklist. On 11/02/21 at 11:51 AM , the administrator explained, We ordered a new machine, the supplier sent us a temporary machine and a low temperature machine was the best option. An installation crew came to install it and dropped off the supplies. The old machine was leaking on electrical and needed to be removed. He was not able to identify who was managing the kitchen when the FSD was on vacation. He then said, the Dietary Supervisor (DS) would have been the designee. She was not present when the machine was installed. At approximately 12 PM the DS and the FSD were not aware as to when the machine was to be installed. The administrator and corporate person had made arrangements for the install. Neither the DS or the FSD were aware that they were going to have it installed when the FSD was not in the building. On 11/02/21 at 12:13 PM, The FSD said she came back to work 10/20/21. As soon as she came back asked for information on the machine. The installer trained the staff that were present when it was installed the DS left at 2 PM that day . She was not aware that dish washer was being installed. We were not provided with an operating manual. When I first returned I asked for assistance on the machine operation from the chemical company. On 11/02/21 at 12:21 PM the afternoon cook was present when the machine was installed. She demonstrated how to drain and fill the machine. She did not know what the chemicals were. The installers connected chemicals. She did not know when or how chemicals came in for the dishwashing machine. She validated that the rinse aid was same as the old high temperature dishwashing machine. The holder was mounted to the left of the machine. No rinse aid was observed. Lack of appropriate training on the low temperature dishwashing machine may have resulted in the potential of food borne illness due to improper washing of resident dishware.

Dishwashing machines that use chemical sanitizer to sanitize must maintain a minimum temperature of 120°F or about for any size machine with PPM concentration of the chemical sanitizer. 5 Dishwashing machine concentration and contact times for chlorine solution should have a minimum concentration of 50-100 PPM for a contact time of 10 seconds. 6. A supervisor will check the dishwashing machine for proper concentration of sanitizer solution after filling the machine and one a week thereafter. Concentrations will be record in a facility approved log. 7. Corrective action will be taken immediately. 10. If hot water or chemical sanitation concentrations do not meet requirement, cease use of dishwashing machine immediately until the temperatures or sanitizer PPM are adjusted. The potential of food borne illness was present due to improper washing of resident dishware. 2. On 11/01/21 at 9:31 AM, the three-compartment sink was set up to wash the pots and pans. When attempting to verify the sanitizing solution with the FSD, she said there was no reading, and the strips may have gotten wet. The quaternary ammonia test strips had expired in September of 2021.
