Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure privacy and a dignified environment for
two of two sampled residents (Residents 18 and 284), as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure
titled, Dignity, when,
a. Resident 18's privacy curtain was not closed during toilet use.
b. Resident 284's privacy curtain was not closed during removal of Resident 284's pants and during toilet
use.
These failures resulted in violation of Resident 18 and 284's right to dignity and privacy.
Findings:
a. During a review of the resident 18's admission Record indicated, the facility admitted Resident 18 on
12/9/2020 with diagnoses that included high blood pressure, reduced mobility, and high cholesterol.
During a review of the Resident 18's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/9/2022, indicated Resident 18
was alert, oriented, and was competent to make complex medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care-screening
tool), dated 4/10/2023, indicated Resident 18 was cognitively intact (ability to understand and make
decisions) and was able to make needs known. Resident 18 required supervision for transfers (how the
resident moves between surfaces: bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position), locomotion on and off the unit
(how residents move between locations in their room and adjacent corridor on the same floor), personal
hygiene, and toilet use.
During an observation on 5/23/2023, at 12 pm, Resident 18 was in the restroom sitting on the toilet.
Resident 18's room door was slightly open, and the privacy curtain was not drawn shut. Resident 18's body
was exposed.
During an interview on 05/25/2023, at 9:31 am, Resident 18 stated the curtain was used for privacy
because the bathroom door did not close all the way and got stuck when attempting to close. Resident 18
stated she did not have privacy and it felt like Resident 18 was on main street because people walked up
and down the hallway and Resident 18 felt like the staff could see Resident 18 when in the bathroom.

During an interview on 5/25/2023, at 9:58 am, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) stated privacy was
important to protect resident's dignity and self-respect.
b. During a review of Resident 284's admission Record indicated, Resident 284 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included left pubis fracture (break in pelvis bone), left acetabulum fracture
(break in hip bone), and repeated falls.
During a review of Resident 284's Skilled Nursing Facility History and Physical, dated 5/23/2023, indicated
Resident 284 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time and Resident 284's mental status was at
baseline.
During a review of Resident 284's care plan, initiated 5/23/2023, indicated Resident 284 had self-care
deficits and was at risk for unavoidable decline for bed mobility, dressing, and toileting. Interventions
included to assisted Resident 284 with toileting or incontinent (lack of voluntary control over urination or
defecation [discharge of feces from the body]) care as needed and no strenuous exercise.
During an observation and interview on 5/24/2023, at 3:25 pm, CNA 1 was removing Resident 284's pants
on Resident 284's bed. The door to the room was shut and the privacy curtains alongside the sliding glass
door, which lead to a patio, was left open. CNA 1 stated staff, visitors, and residents could walk on the patio.
CNA 1 stated she removed Resident 284's pants so Resident 284 could be more comfortable while in bed.
CNA 1 stated the privacy curtain needed to be closed all the way when changing Resident 284 to give
Resident 284 privacy, or people could see Resident 284's private areas.
During an interview on 5/24/2023, at 3:45 pm, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) stated the privacy
curtain by the window/sliding glass door and restroom must be shut when staff were changing the residents
(in general) or performed any patient care tasks. LVN 1 stated [if privacy curtains were not closed] someone
could see the resident's private areas, and this could make the residents feel embarrassed.
During an observation on 05/26/23, at 12:02 pm, CNA 5 was in the restroom located in Resident 284's
room. Resident 284's room door and privacy curtain were open, and Resident 284 was being helped on to
the toilet. CNA 5 exited the room leaving the room door and privacy curtain open and stated she would be
back.
During an observation on 05/26/23, at 12:06 pm, CNA 5 came back into Resident 284's room and into the
restroom and CNA 5 did not close the room door or restroom curtain before assisting Resident 284 up from
the toilet.
During an interview on 5/26/2023, at 12:10 pm, CNA 5 stated she assisted Resident 284 to the toilet. CNA
5 stated the room door or bathroom privacy curtain was to be closed when Resident 284 was in the
restroom. CNA 5 stated she did not ensure either were closed because Resident 284's responsible party
(RP) was in the room. CNA 5 stated it was important to provide privacy while Resident 284 was using the
restroom because Resident 284 was exposed, and someone could see her in a vulnerable position and
make Resident 284 feel uncomfortable.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, revised 2/2021, indicated each
resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of
satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem. The P&P also

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident
(Resident 21), who was a writer, was provided with adequate furnishing to accommodate the use of a
personal computer when Resident 21's desk broke.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 21 not being able to use his personal computer to continue writing a book
and had the potential to result in a decline of Resident 21's psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/23/2023, at 11:20 am., Resident 21 was in his room
and a desktop computer monitor was on the floor with a keyboard on top of a stool located next to a desk.
Resident 21 stated, the computer had been on top of a desk but Resident 21 backed up on the desk pretty
hard, am hoping maintenance will take care of it. Resident 21 stated he was supposed to see the Social
Worker (SW).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/24/2023, at 8:31 am., Resident 21 was in his room, the
desktop computer monitor was on the floor with the keyboard on top of a stool. Resident 21 stated, backing
his wheelchair onto the desk where the computer was place, and the equipment came tumbling down. The
facility took the desk, to put it back together about a month ago. Resident 21 stated, not being able to use
his computer, certainly restricts me, am trying to finish a book, on technology. Resident 21 stated, the
facility had offered for Resident 21 to use the bedside table but it's very awkward, it's better to put it in one
place, the desk.
During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR), indicated, Resident 21 was originally admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and last admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including major depressive
disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere
with your daily life), insomnia (a common disorder of persistent problems falling and staying asleep) and
paraplegia (paralysis that occurs in the lower half of the body).
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 8/11/2022, indicated, Resident 21 was cognitively intact (ability to think and reason) for daily
decision making.
During a review of Resident 21's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 9/9/2022, the H&P
indicated, Resident 21 had the capacity to make decisions.
During a review of Resident 21's Progress Notes (PN), dated 5/7/2023, timed at 1:40 pm., the PN
indicated, Resident 21's wife came to the nursing station to inform Licensed Vocation Nurse 4 (LVN 4),
Resident 21 ran into his desk with his power chair (electric wheelchair). The PN indicated, Resident 21
would like the desk left as is until maintenance could look at it. The PN indicated, message was left for
maintenance to follow up.
During an interview on 5/25/23, at 10:00 am., with the SW, the SW stated, Resident 21 backed up into his
desk with his power chair last week. The SW stated, Resident 21 's desk was made of fiberglass and
maintenance said the desk was not salvageable. The SW stated, Resident 21 was offered a larger room
and Resident 21's wife was getting a desk and enlisted the facility's interior designer to help

(Information Technology, a professional of data or computer system).
During an interview on 5/25/23, at 12:29pm., with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the MS stated,
maintenance was not aware about Resident 21's broken desk. The MS stated, the facility did not usually fix
resident's personal belongings and instead notified family. The MS stated, the SW would usually follow up
on these matters.
During an interview on 5/25/23, at 1:43 pm., with the General Maintenance (GM), the GM stated,
maintenance was not aware about Resident 21's broken desk. The GM stated, when he checked in with the
SW today, the SW stated EVS (Environmental Services, non-clinical healthcare staff like housekeeping)

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure, for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 6), the correct low air loss (LAL, a mattress designed to distribute body weight and prevent and
treat pressure wounds) mattress setting was used per Resident 6's weight.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in the development of pressure injuries (PIs, localized damage to the
skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, shear (mechanical force
that causes skin to break of), or friction [surfaces rub against each other]) to Resident 6.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 6's admission Record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included contractures (shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, and other tissue) on the right
and left elbow, contractures of the left and right hand, Parkinson's Disease (affects movement and often
includes tremors), and pemphigoid (rare skin condition causing large, fluid-filled blisters).
During a review of Resident 6's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/19,2023, the H&P indicated, Resident
6 was non-verbal and did not have the capacity to make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care-screening tool),
dated 4/6/2023, indicated Resident 6 had severe cognitive impairment (processes of thinking and
reasoning), and Resident 6 was totally dependent for bed mobility and activities of daily living (ADL).
During a review of Resident 6's care plan, revised on 4/14/2023, indicated Resident 6 was at risk for
developing pressure ulcers and due to impaired mobility and severe cognitive impairment. The interventions
included checking the function of Citadel Patient Therapy System Bed (LAL) every shift.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/24/2023, at 11:45 am. Resident 6's LAL mattress was
set at 250 pounds (lbs.). Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated the LAL mattress setting was based
on the resident's weight and the setting on the bed was programed by the nurses. LVN 3 stated the
appropriate setting for Resident 6's LAL mattress was 165 lbs. LVN 3 stated sometimes the buttons on the
LAL mattress accidentally get pushed. LVN 3 stated the correct LAL setting was important because it
helped prevent breakdown of the skin and if the setting was correct, it would not prevent skin breakdown.
During a concurrent interview and record review of the manufacturer guidelines on 5/25/2023, at 2:48 pm.,
the Director of Nursing (DON) stated LAL mattress settings depended on manufacturer guidelines and the
facility programmed according to the weight of the residents. The DON stated it was important for a
resident's LAL mattress setting to be programmed based on the weight because the purpose of the
mattress was to protect the skin and prevent pressure ulcers. The DON stated Resident 6's LAL mattress
setting was incorrect and set at 250 lbs. and should have been set at 165 lbs.
During a review of the Citadel Patient Therapy System, Instructions for Use (manufacturer's guidelines),
dated 12/2015, indicated to press the height/weight preset button to select the preset that

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide services to maintain mobility (ability to
move) for two of six sampled residents (Resident 21 and 20) with limited range of motion (ROM, full
movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) and mobility.
a. For Resident 21, who was left-hand dominant with left sided weakness, the facility failed to complete
Rehabilitation Screening Forms in accordance with the facility's policy and provide and provide an
adequate exercise program to maintain Resident 21's ROM in both arms as indicated by the Occupational
Therapy (OT, profession aimed to increase or maintain a person's capability of participating in everyday life
activities [occupations]) discharge recommendations, dated 1/22/2022.
b. For Resident 20, the facility did not have any documented evidence Resident 20 performed sit to stand
transfers three times per week to maintain mobility.
These failures had the potential to result in Resident 21 and Resident 20 to experience a decline in ROM
and mobility.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 21's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 21
on 5/19/2021 and was re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record indicated Resident 21's diagnoses
included Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the nervous system resulting impaired movement),
fusion (surgical connection) of the cervical region (neck) of the spine, and left shoulder osteoarthritis (bone
disease that progresses over time, resulting in joint pain and stiffness).
During a review of Resident 21's physician orders, dated 11/22/2022, indicated RNA for left arm AROM
every day five times per week as tolerated. An additional physician's order for Resident 21, dated
11/22/2022, indicated RNA for right arm AROM every day five times per week as tolerated.
During a review of Resident 21's OT Daily Encounter Notes (OT treatment notes) for 1/2022 indicated
Resident 21 performed arm active assistive range of motion (AAROM, use of muscles surrounding the joint
to perform the exercise but required some help from a person or equipment) exercises on 1/7/2022,
1/11/2022, 1/13/2022, 1/14/2022, and 1/18/2022.
During a review of Resident 21's OT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated recommendations for a
Restorative Nursing Program (RNP, nursing program that uses restorative nursing aides [RNAs] to help
residents maintain their function and mobility) for AAROM exercises.
During a review of Resident 21's care plan for ROM, initiated on 1/26/2022, indicated to provide RNA
treatments as ordered for right arm active range of motion (AROM, performance of ROM of a joint without
any assistance or effort of another person) and left arm AROM every day five times per week as tolerated.
During a review of Resident 21's clinical record, the record did not include any Rehabilitation Screening
Forms.

During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment and care
planning tool), dated 5/11/2023, indicated Resident 21 had clear speech, clearly expressed ideas and
wants, understood verbal content, and was cognitively intact (clear ability to think, understand, learn, and
remember). The MDS indicated Resident 21 required supervision (oversight, encouragement, or cueing) for
eating and personal hygiene and extensive assistance (resident involved in activity while staff provide
weight-bearing support) for bed mobility, transfers between services, dressing, and toilet use. The MDS
indicated Resident 21 had functional ROM limitations in both arms and both legs.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/24/2023, at 9:19 am, in Resident 21's room, with
Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1), Resident 21 sat in a cushioned armchair while performing arm and
legs exercises. Resident 21 repeatedly lifted the right arm in front of the body (shoulder flexion) to
approximately shoulder height (90 degrees of motion). Resident 21 repeatedly lifted the right arm away
from the body (shoulder abduction) to less than shoulder height. Resident 21's left shoulder flexion was
limited to approximately half-way to shoulder height and stated, this is as much as I can do. Resident 21
then performed left shoulder abduction exercises but stopped at four repetitions due to Resident 21's
difficulty lifting the arm away from the body. RNA 1 stated Resident 21's left side was weaker than the right
side.
During an interview on 5/24/2023, at 9:41 am, RNA 1 stated Resident 21 performed AROM exercises to
both arms.
During an interview on 5/25/2023, at 8:55 am, in Resident 21's room, Resident 21 stated Resident 21's left
side became weaker two years ago due to neck stenosis (spaces in the spine narrow and create pressure
on the spinal cord). Resident 21 stated Resident 21 underwent neck surgery to prevent Resident 21 from
having quadriplegia (weakness or paralysis in both arms and both legs) but the left sided weakness did not
improve. Resident 21 stated the weakness to the left side was problematic since Resident 21 was left-hand
dominant.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure, for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 4), an adequate supply of oxygen (02 [a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential for living]) in
Resident 4's portable oxygen cylinder tank.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in the oxygen cylinder tank to run out of oxygen, no delivery of
supplemental oxygen, and hypoxia (an absence of enough oxygen or low level of oxygen in the tissues to
sustain bodily functions) to Resident 4.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 4's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 4 was originally
admitted on [DATE] and last admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including right heart failure,
hypertension (high blood pressure), and dependence on supplemental oxygen.
During a review of Resident 4's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 9/24/2022, the H&P
indicated, Resident 4 was alert but confused, could make immediate needs known, but was unable to make
complex medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 4's Care Plan (CP), initiated 9/26/2022, revised 4/14/2023, the CP indicated,
Resident 4 was at risk for respiratory distress. The interventions included oxygen at 2 LPM (Liters per
Minute, unit of measurement) via nasal cannula ([NC] a device consisting of a lightweight tubing used to
deliver supplemental oxygen), may titrate (slowly increase) up to 4 LPM.
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 10/3/2022, the MDS indicated, Resident 4 was severely impaired with cognitive skills (ability to
think and reason) for daily decision making.
During a review of Resident 4's Order Summary Report (OSR), with active orders as of 5/1/2023, the OSR
indicated, an active order dated 11/7/2022 for oxygen at 2 LPM via NC and titrate up to 4 LPM every shift
continuously to maintain oxygen saturation (the amount of oxygen you have circulating in your blood) level
equal or greater than 92%.
During a review of Resident 4's Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated May 2023, the TAR
indicated, Resident 4 was receiving oxygen at 3 LPM by NC.
During a review of the facility's in-service lesion plan titled, Following MD Orders for Oxygen, dated
1/30/2023, the in-service indicated, oxygen tanks should be checked every shift and as needed during
rounds and changed as needed.
During a review of Resident 4's physician Progress Notes (PR), dated 5/3/2023, the PR indicated, Resident
4 was being followed by the physician for chronic (a condition persisting for a long time or constantly
recurring) right heart failure with oxygen dependence and delivered by nasal cannula.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/23/2023, at 11:00 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
4 (LVN 4), in the activities living room, Resident 4 was sitting up on a wheelchair in front of a table with a
puzzle in front and two other residents along with the Life Enrichment Director

(LED) were present. Resident 4 was awake and alert but confused. Resident 4 was receiving oxygen at 2
LPM by NC and the pressure gauge needle of the portable oxygen cylinder indicated REFILL. LVN 4
stated, it looks like it should be changed. LVN 4 stated, Resident 4 may not be getting enough oxygen and
this could cause confusion and lack of oxygen to the brain. LVN 4 stated, the facility did not have a
Respiratory Therapist (RT, member of a health care team that evaluates, treats and cares for patients with
breathing and cardio-respiratory problems). LVN 4 stated, I will get a new tank.
During an interview on 5/26/23, at 7:25 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, there
was a little bit of oxygen left when the portable oxygen cylinder indicated REFILL. The DON stated, the
nurses should have checked it because if the cylinder goes empty, it caused lack of oxygen to the resident.
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, How to Use an Oxygen Tank, the
P&P indicated, check the pressure gauge to verify that there is enough oxygen in the tank (full is
approximately 2,000 psi [pounds per square inch]).

Residents Affected - Few
The facility had 8 total medication errors in 28 opportunities during medication administration which yielded
in a 28.57 % medication error rate. Eight medications due at 8 am., for one of four sampled residents
(Resident 30) were administered late.
This failure had the potential to result in an inadequate amount of the prescribed medications in Resident
30's bloodstream and a decline in Resident 30's physical well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 30's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 30 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including
hypertension (high blood pressure), glaucoma (a group of eye conditions that can cause blindness) and
macular degeneration (an eye disease that causes vision loss).
During a review of Resident 30's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 9/7/2022, the H&P
indicated, Resident 30 was alert but confused, could make immediate needs known, but was unable to
make complex medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 3/13/2023, the MDS indicated, Resident 30 was severely impaired with cognitive skills (ability to
think and reason) for daily decision making.
During a review of Resident 30's Order Summary Report (OSR), with active orders as of 5/1/2023, the
OSR included the following medications (administered by Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) on
5/25/2023):
1. Artificial Tears Solution 1.4% (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Instill 1 drop in both eyes four times a day for dry eyes.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** The facility
failed to ensure adequate meal preparation, for one of one sampled resident (Resident 284) who had
requested smaller portions for lunch on 5/23/2023. The facility did not use appropriate serving utensils for
Resident 284 as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure titled, Diets and Menus Modified Portions.
This failure had the potential to result in a nutritional decline for Resident 284 and affect Resident 284's
overall physical well-being.
Findings
During a review of Resident 284's admission Record indicated, Resident 284 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included type II diabetes mellitus (DM2- a condition that happens because of a
problem in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as fuel), left pubis fracture (break in pelvis bone), left
acetabulum fracture (break in hip bone), and repeated falls.
During a review of Resident 284's Order Summary Report, with active orders as of 5/22/2023, included a
physician's order, dated 5/2/2023, indicated a regular diet, with regular texture, thin consistency, for low fat,
and low cholesterol.
During a review of Resident 284's Skilled Nursing Facility History and Physical, dated 5/23/2023, indicated
Resident 284 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time and Resident 284's mental status was at
baseline.
During an observation on 5/23/2023, at 11:52 am, the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) was plating hot
food. The DSS stated the portions were as followed: a black four-ounce scoop was used for the Swedish
meatballs, pureed meatballs, rice, pureed rice, vegetables and pureed vegetables, a two ounce ladle was
used for gravy and a six ounce ladle used for lentil soup and pureed soup. Resident 284 was served,
smaller portions of food, with the use of the same size scoops and ladles.
During an interview on 5/23/2023, at 11:59 am., the DSS stated Resident 284 requested smaller meal
portions and when residents (in general) requested smaller portions, the DSS used the same size ladles
and scoops, just put less on the plate, when plating the meals. The DSS stated some residents do not like
wasting food or just do not eat a lot, so they ask for less.
During an interview on 5/25/2023, at 10:31 am, the Registered Dietician (RD) stated, when a resident (in
general) requests smaller meal portions, the RD would review the weight history, laboratory results, and
medical history. The RD stated, if the resident (in general) needed more proteins or calories, the RD would
review [current diet] and have a discussion with the resident to provide education and honor the request if it
was safe. The RD stated when serving smaller portions, the facility was to follow a flow sheet and use a
different [indicated by flow sheet] size scoop. The RD stated for example, the DSS would use a two or
three-ounce scoop instead of a four-ounce scoop. The RD stated if residents requested smaller portions,
then the staff serving the smaller portions needed to use serving utensils based off their nutritional
assessment and Resident 284 did not have an order placed for smaller portions. The RD stated if staff were
eyeballing or approximating portions, they were not honoring the resident's request. The RD stated staff
could be over feeding or under feeding the
