Oxnard Manor: Nursing Competency Deficiency - CA
The facility's own policies required licensed nurses to assess and document the condition of arteriovenous fistula sites daily, looking specifically for skin problems, drainage from incisions, redness, tenderness, and fever that could signal dangerous infections.
Inspectors discovered staff violated these protocols during their review of dialysis care practices. The facility's Dialysis Management policy, dated March 2024, explicitly stated that pre and post-dialysis evaluations must be completed by licensed nurses, with daily documentation of access site conditions including "skin integrity, waxy skin, ulcerations, drainage from incisions" and "evidence of infection at the surgical site, such as drainage, redness, tenderness at incision site, fever."
A separate policy on arteriovenous shunt care, revised in January 2012, required staff to "observe for signs of inflammation, infection and obstruction" and "inspect total shunt site area for color, warmth, redness, edema and drainage, once per shift."
The violations put dialysis patients at risk. Arteriovenous fistulas and shunts create direct connections between arteries and veins, providing access for dialysis treatments but requiring careful monitoring to prevent life-threatening infections and other complications.
Federal inspectors classified the deficiency as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm to few residents. The facility received the citation under federal tag F0698, which covers quality of care standards.
The inspection followed a complaint filed against the 1400 West Gonzales Road facility. Inspectors completed their investigation on January 29, 2026.
