Residential Facility Citation Update

There were 14 offense and deficiency citations issues to residential care facilities in November.  1 of the citations was offense and 13 were deficiency.  Relatively few residential surveys were completed in November as the ISDH survey staff spent more time on nursing facility surveys, catching up from the backlog created by the Federal shutdown in October.  In November, two facilities were cited Tag 36 for not consulting the resident’s physician and legal representative after a significant decline in the residents’ status.  Two facilities were cited Tag 117 for failure to ensure sufficient personnel.  Frequently issued citations, Tag 217 (creation and updating of service plan), Tag 241 (medication administration), Tag 273 (food preparation area sanitation), and Tag 301 (prescription drug labeling) were also cited in November.
