| 11472 | TEAYS VALLEY CENTER | 515106 | 590 NORTH POPLAR FORK ROAD | HURRICANE | WV | 25526 | 2010-10-21 | 253 | D | 6HW411 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** . Based on record review, observation, family interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to clean the floor adequately for one (1) of eight (8) sampled residents. Numerous observations of the resident's floor found it to be sticky, even after having been recently mopped. This stickiness had the potential to affect the steadiness of the gait of the resident who was known to ambulate within the room independently; it also compromised safety of others, as it had the potential to harbor bacteria that could be transmitted throughout the facility on the soles of shoes of all staff who entered the room. Resident identifier: #61. Facility census: 120. Findings include: a) Resident #61 Record review revealed Resident #61's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. During interview with the nurse unit manager (Employee #51) on 10/19/10 at 4:30 p.m., she said Resident #61's physician orders [REDACTED]. Resident #61 experienced a fall in early October, but x-rays completed af the emergency room ruled out any new fractures; she was wearing hipsters at the time of the fall. Currently, she was on the waiting list for inpatient care at a behavioral health / medicine center related to problem behaviors that were not able to successfully be redirected. Observation of the resident throughout the survey found she walked in her room independently, ambulated to the toilet independently, and was observed closing the door to the hallway on more than one (1) occasion. Observation of the resident's floor, on 10/18/10 at 3:00 p.m., revealed the floor was sticky in a wide area around all sides of the bed. The sticky floor was also observed by the life-safety code (LSC) surveyor who brought it to the attention of Employee #133 (the environmental service director), who immediately called staff to mop the floor. Observation, on 10/18/10 at 5:30 p.m., found the floor had dried and was just as sticky as it had been previously. Observation of the floor, on 10/19/10 at 9:00 a.m., found the floor to be sticky all around the bed. This was called to the attention of the LSC surveyor, who again notified the environmental service director, who again called staff to mop the floor. After drying, the floor remained sticky in places. During an interview on 10/19/10 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Employee #133 said numerous members of the housekeeping staff had been out of medical leave in recent times, which had cut down their daily number of traditional full-time housekeeping staff on duty. Observation of the floor in Resident #61's room, on 10/20/10 at 9:05 a.m., found the floor to be sticky in one (1) small area, but this was an improvement over observations made on the preceding two (2) days. Review of recent resident / family grievances found one dated 09/30/10, related to the sanitation of Resident #51's room. During a telephone interview with this family member on 10/18/10 at 7:00 p.m., she acknowledged the room had been cleaned the week of her request, but she had issues with the cleanliness of the room during the following week, as it related to allegedly finding mouse droppings on the floor on 10/07/10. She said she found Resident #51's floor sticky on the left side of the bed where staff sat while feeding him. Review of recent resident / family grievances found one dated 09/22/10 from Resident #27, who complained his room was not cleaned even when housekeeping staff was asked by the resident to do so. This grievance was followed up by the facility. Review of the resolution portion of the grievance found a note that, on 10/03/10, housekeeping again did not clean his room. Review of recent resident / family grievances found one dated 09/23/10, where Resident #117's family member complained the resident's room was "filthy ... mopped but not swept". Facility's resolution included having the room deep cleaned 10/05/10, with follow-up contact with the family. Review of the 09/21/10 Resident Council meeting minutes found three (3) residents (names not identified) complained of housekeeping staff not cleaning their room adequately. During an interview with the administrator on 10/19/10 at approximately 10:00 a.m., he said the facility, in recent weeks, had adopted a different mopping product for a trial on a couple halls which included the 200 hall where Resident #61 resided. When informed of the persistent stickiness of the floor in Resident #61's room even after mopping, he said it was probably time to complete an evaluation of the product change. . | 2014-02-01 |
