A test of this emergency egress door found it to be equipped with a magnetic locking system with a timed emergency egress function of 30 seconds. The test, conducted on 09/29/11 at 2:30 p.m., found the alarm sounded when pressure was applied to the door, with the magnetic lock disengaging after approximately 30 seconds. The release of the magnetic locking system did not allow opening of the emergency egress door, as it had been sealed shut from accumulated rust and corrosion of the threshold plate located at the bottom of the door. This egress door displayed emergency exit signage and was designated as an exit on the facility's evacuation plan posted on the wall outside the A-wing dining room. Additionally, interview revealed staff identified this as a door to be used in the event of an evacuation. The program manager of the life safety program of the Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC) was contacted at 2:50 p.m. on 09/29/11. He was apprised of the findings related to the emergency egress door located in the A-wing dining room. The life safety program manager determined that if the door was designated as an emergency egress, and this door could not be opened, this constituted a finding of immediate jeopardy. The director of support services (Employee #95) and the director of nursing (DON - Employee #55) were informed by the team leader at 3:05 p.m. on 09/29/11, that the failure to assure the emergency egress doors were operational placed any residents and staff who may be in the dining area and/or nursing station in immediate jeopardy of harm or death, should a fire or other disaster require evacuation.

Resident identifier: #36. Facility census: 51. Findings include: a) Resident #36 Random observations were conducted of the evening meal service in the main dining room during the first day of this Quality Indicator Survey (QIS) beginning at 5:30 p.m. on 09/26/11. Viewing of the main dining room noted a female resident seated perpendicular to the dining table in a geriatric chair with her back to the other diners and facing the wall. Her geriatric chair was leaned back slightly and the foot rest was up. A practical nursing student was noted to be unsuccessfully attempting to get the resident to take a bite of food. Observation found Resident #36 was panting through her open mouth and using accessory muscles to breathe. An oxygen concentrator was noted to be sitting beside her chair; the oxygen concentrator was turned off. The resident's nasal cannula and tubing were laying in her lap. When asked if Resident #36 was supposed to be on oxygen, the student stated the staff had brought the resident in that way. - The director of nursing (DON - Employee #55), when informed of the resident's condition following this observation, stated the resident was ordered continuous oxygen. Facility staff applied the resident's nasal cannula and turned on the oxygen concentrator, and the resident was noted to have a decrease in respiratory effort. During a follow-up interview on 10/04/11 at approximately 2:30 p.m., the DON was asked what the resident's pulse oximetry had been after being left without her oxygen in the dining room on 09/26/11. The DON called the nurse who assessed the resident and reported that, after her oxygen had been applied, her pulse oximetry reading was 90%.

Staff transported open carts of meal trays (intended for service to residents in the dining room) past a trash barrel that was overflowing with bags of soiled briefs and garbage. This deficient practice had the potential to affect eleven (11) of eleven (11) residents eating in the main dining room for the evening meal on 09/26/11. Additionally, the facility failed to assure an open container of liquid eggs was dated. This deficient practice had the potential to affect more than an isolated number of residents receiving an oral diet in the facility. Facility census: 51. Findings include: a) During the evening meal service on 09/26/11 at 5:15 p.m., random observation found a large trash barrel located outside the doors of the main dining room. The trash barrel was overflowing with clear plastic trash bags filled with soiled briefs and other garbage. Facility staff was observed to wheel the open carts containing the meal trays of the eleven (11) residents seated in the dining room directly past this barrel, then distribute them to the residents. -- b) On 09/26/11 at approximately 3:00 p.m., the dietary manager (Employee #84) accompanied this surveyor on a tour of the kitchen. Observation of the contents of the reach-in refrigerator revealed a carton of liquid eggs that was open but not dated. The dietary manager said she expected the kitchen staff to date items when they opened them. She reported the staff normally uses all opened items (such as liquid eggs) within three (3) days of opening them. 2015-11-01

This deficient practice affected one (1) of twenty-five (25) Stage II sample residents prescribed an antipsychotic medication. Resident identifier: #47. Facility census: 51. Findings include: a) Resident #47 Review of the medical record found a consultant pharmacy recommendation to reduce the dosage of Zyprexa Resident #47 was receiving to 5 mg at bedtime; this recommendation was made as part of a medication regimen review (MRR) conducted on 04/30/11. Further review noted the DON (Employee #55) did not act upon the recommendation until 08/26/11, with the physician acting upon it on 08/31/11. The physician agreed to reduce the antipsychotic per the pharmacist's recommendation. The DON was interviewed at 1:11 p.m. on 10/03/11. When asked why she did not act upon the pharmacist's recommendation for more than four (4) months, she stated the consultant pharmacist reported he had a problem getting the recommendations printed out. The consultant pharmacist, when interviewed on the afternoon of 10/03/11, stated that around April 2011, the company went with a different computer program, and he did not realize that the recommendations were not printing out until the end of July 2011. He stated he tries to have a turn-around time of getting his recommendations to the unit within about one (1) week after completing an MRR. 2015-11-01

The facility failed to assure housekeeping staff cleaned and disinfected contact isolation rooms occupied by residents with Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infections, to prevent the potential spread of disease-causing spores. This deficient practice had the potential to place more than an isolated number of residents at risk of exposure to this infectious organism. Facility census: 51. Findings include: a) Random observations, conducted on 09/29/11 at 12:20 p.m., noted a housekeeping cart outside the room of a resident in contact isolation related to a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] infection. The room was posted with signage directing staff and visitors to see the nurse before entering the room. - A housekeeper (Employee #100) was asked to describe how to clean this particular room. She stated she would use Virex to clean the surfaces and floors. She further stated she would clean that room, then clean one (1) or two (2) more rooms, before changing her mop head or mop water.
