What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0635 Provide doctor's orders for the resident's immediate care at the time the resident was admitted. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure at the time each resident is admitted , the facility must have physician orders for the resident's immediate care for 1 (Resident #253) of 24 residents reviewed for admission physician orders. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to get oxygen orders from the physician for Resident #253, who was admitted on [DATE], and did not until 04/26/2024. This deficient practice affects residents admitted on oxygen therapy and could result in respiratory distress. The findings included: Record review of Resident #253's electronic face sheet dated 04/24/2024 reflected she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included: pneumonia (infection in your lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition where there is not enough oxygen in the body tissues) and emphysema (type of lung disease that causes breathlessness). Record review of Resident #253's baseline care plan dated 04/24/2024 did not reflect she was on oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #253's Active Orders as of: 04/24/2024 reflected no orders for oxygen therapy. Resident #253 was not at the facility long enough for an MDS assessment. Record review of Resident #253's hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] reflected Plan: Oxygen supplementation as nasal cannula, titrate to keep saturation of oxygen above 90%. Record review of Resident #253's Daily Skilled Note dated 04/22/24, her admission notes, reflected Oxygen via Nasal Cannula. Record review of Resident #253's oxygen saturations dated 4/22/2024 and 04/23/2024 reflected she had saturations taken while she had oxygen therapy via nasal cannula. Observation on 04/23/2024 at 09:53 AM of Resident #253 revealed she was lying in bed in her room. She had oxygen infusing via nasal cannula. Her oxygen concentrator delivered 2.5 l/min.

F 0635 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Observation on 04/24/2024 at 2:15 PM of Resident #253 revealed she was lying in bed in her room. She had oxygen infusing via nasal cannula at 2.5 l/min. In an interview on 04/24/2024 at 2:20 PM with Resident #253, she stated she was on oxygen therapy when she was admitted to the facility. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 04/26/2024 at 2:32 PM with LVN C, who was Resident #253's nurse revealed she did not realize Resident #253 did not have an oxygen order and she stated the resident was on oxygen therapy since admission. She stated oxygen was treated like a medication and required a physician's order. She stated the wrong rate could result in respiratory compromise.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to employ staff with the appropriate competencies and skill sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, taking into consideration resident assessments, individual plans of care, and the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment required for one of one facility, in that: The Food Service Supervisor (FSS) did not have the appropriate certification, education, or qualifications to serve as the Director of Food and Nutrition Services. This deficient practice could place the residents who consume food prepared from the kitchen at risk of food borne illness and not receiving adequate nutrition. The findings included: Record review of the staff roster provided by the facility, undated, revealed the hire date for the FSS was 09/01/2019. Record review of the FSS' certification documentation revealed a certificate stating the FSS successfully completed the Texas Food Safety Manager Certification Examination, effective 10/11/2023, expiration date 5 years from the effective date. Record review of facility employee files revealed the facility's RD was contracted and not a full-time employee of the facility. During an interview on 04/23/2024 at 10:50 AM, the FSS stated he was hired by the facility as a cook in 2019 and assumed the position of FSS in 09/2023. The FSS further stated upon assuming the FSS position, he completed a Texas Food Manager's Certification program, received a certificate, and believed this certification met the requirements for the position. During an interview on 04/23/2024 at 1:33 PM with the Administrator she stated she knew the Texas Food Manager's Certification was not a national certification and was not the appropriate certification for the position of FSS. The Administrator further stated she paid for the FSS to take the National Food Manager Certification exam; however, the FSS completed the Texas Food Manager Certification Exam in error. During an interview on 04/26/2024 at 11:45 AM the administrator stated the FSS demonstrated knowledge deficits and would benefit from additional training and possible mentoring from an existing FSS. Record review of the Food Code, U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. FDA, 2022, U.S. Department of H&HS, revealed 2-102.12 Certified Food Protection Manager.
