| 11450 | EAGLE POINTE | 515159 | 1600 27TH STREET | PARKERSBURG | WV | 26101 | 2011-05-12 | 253 | E | 1I0H11 | . Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to provide housekeeping and maintenance services necessary to maintain a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable resident environment. Prompt housekeeping services were not provided to address a strong, persistent, unpleasant odor of urine in the room of Resident #72, one (1) of thirty-nine (39) Stage II sample residents. Routine maintenance services were not provided to ensure the door to the central shower room on the North unit and the wooden handrails in the corridors on the North, East, and Alzheimer's units were free of damage that prevented the surfaces from being able to be effectively cleaned / sanitized. Resident identifier: #72. Facility census: 129. Findings include: a) Resident #72 Observation, on 05/03/11 at 3:09 p.m., revealed the presence of a strong urine odor in the hallway outside Resident #72's room. Numerous staff was observed walking past the room without intervention for the odor as follows: - At 3:10 p.m., an unidentified aide; - At 3:11 p.m., a nurse (Employee #18); - At 3:12 p.m., a nurse aide (Employee #52); - At 3:13 p.m., a nurse (Employee #85); - At 3:14 p.m., an unidentified housekeeping employee; - At 3:15 p.m., Employee #85 and the housekeeping employee; and - At 3:18 p.m., Employee #85. During an interview with the assistant director of nursing (ADON - Employee #112) on 05/03/11 at 3:22 p.m., she acknowledged the presence of the strong urine smell in Resident #72's room and in the hallway outside his door. A restorative aide (Employee #34) emptied Resident #72's urinary drainage bag, but no odor could be detected in the plastic receptacle into which the urine was drained or in the bathroom when the urine was emptied into the commode; she said the odor may have come from the urinary catheter bag having drained "urine onto the floor and the smell seeped into the flooring (laminate)" at some previous point in time, and she agreed the floor on the left side of his bed was a little sticky. The restorative aide checked and did not find any evidence of urinary incontinence by either Resident #72 or his roommate at this time. As Resident #72 was wheeled out of the room in his wheelchair by Employee #34 on 05/03/11 at 3:53 p.m., a strong smell of urine was detected by two (2) surveyors as he passed by in his wheelchair. During an interview with a nurse (Employee #18) on 05/03/11 at 3:53 p.m., she said she changed the urinary drainage bag and sprayed the floor and the wheelchair; she also said Resident #72 received a shower this morning by the hospice aide. Soon after, housekeeping staff mopped the floor in his room. Observation of Resident #72's room, on the morning of 05/04/11, found a slight odor of urine was present; housekeeping had mopped the floor earlier this morning. Observation of Resident #72's room, on 05/05/11 at 11:20 a.m., found there was no odor of urine detected. During an interview with Employee #85 at this time, she said she believed the urine odor came from his socks, where he had stepped onto the floor which had the urine odor. On 05/05/11 at 2:00 p.m., the administrator was informed about the strong urine odor related to Resident #72 and his room, with no further information obtained. -- b) Observations of the safety of handrails and other environmental issues were conducted in the mid afternoon of 05/10/11 with the following concerns identified: - On the East wing corridor from rooms 104 to 106 and room 106 to 108, the wooden handrailing had some rough spots that needed repair. Wooden handrailing in the corridor between rooms 109 and 110 was found to be in the same condition. - On the North wind corridor, handrails near rooms 335 and 337 were rough with areas that could catch clothing, etc. on them, and the handrail outside room 345 had a rough area noted with splinters. - Observations of Alzheimer's unit found the handrailing in the corridor outside of room 202 to be badly splintered. These issues were discussed with the maintenance supervisor (Employee #144) on the afternoon of 05/10/11. He reported there was a plan in place through which the handrails were being replaced and/or sanded and repaired. These issues were also discussed with the administrator on the afternoon of 05/11/11. An undated document was later given to the surveyors, which stated that repairs to handrails would start in the main dining room and progress towards East hall. This was to start in March and be completed by June. There was no provision address needed repairs to rough and damaged handrails that presented safety hazards to residents in other areas of the building. -- c) Observation, at 9:15 a.m. on 05/11/11, found the main door of the central bath on the North unit to be badly scratched and banged up, making the surface not easily cleanable as well as unsightly. This issue was mentioned to the administrator during the afternoon of 05/11/11. . | 2014-03-01 |
