Mims Family Care Home

The facility failed to ensure that 2 of 3 sampled residents were tested for Tuberculosis (TB) disease in compliance with required guidelines. Specifically, one resident lacked documentation of a chest x-ray or positive skin test despite a history of TB, and another resident lacked documentation of the required second-step tuberculin skin test.

The facility failed to maintain adequate tuberculosis documentation for Resident #1, specifically lacking a record of a chest x-ray or a positive tuberculin skin test despite the resident's known history of tuberculosis. Additionally, the Supervisor in Charge admitted to not auditing resident records for a period of time, leading to incomplete medical screening documentation.

The facility failed to ensure proper tuberculosis screening protocols were followed for Resident #2, as the Supervisor in Charge was unaware that a second-step tuberculin skin test was required. The facility's oversight was compounded by a lack of recent audits of resident medical records to ensure all necessary documentation was present.

The facility failed to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition due to the use of an extension cord in the dining room. Specifically, a lamp was found plugged into an extension cord, which was then plugged into a surge protector and a wall socket.

The facility failed to maintain complete resident records, specifically lacking the necessary documentation such as the FL-2, Resident Register, Care Plan, and TB test results within the sign-in book during respite stays.

The facility lacked a consistent system for tracking returned medications to the pharmacy and was not properly documenting the specific dates of medication administration on pill packs.
