A review of Resident 34's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 34 on 2/12/2019.
Resident 34's diagnoses included muscle weakness, sepsis (a serious condition in which the body
responds improperly to an infection), and dysphagia (swallowing difficulties).
A review of Resident 34's Order Summary Report, dated 4/1/2022, indicated, May have 1:1 feeding
assistance with all meals.
A review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized care and screening tool), dated 2/2/2024,
indicated Resident 34 was severely impaired with cognitive (processes of thinking and reasoning) skills for
daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 34 required partial /moderate assistance (helper does
less than half the effort) with eating. Resident 34 required substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does
more than half the effort. Helper lifts or hold trunks or limbs and provide more than half the effort) with oral
hygiene, toilet hygiene, lower body dressing, and personal hygiene.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the nursing staff failed to ensure the safety of one of
two sampled residents (Resident 18) by not ensuring Resident 18 was wearing a soft helmet (a special kind
of protective headgear that is designed to reduce the risk or severity of head injuries for people with
epilepsy [uncontrolled shaking] ) and that had side rails remained padded (provides added cushioning to
help reduce injuries).
This failure had the potential to cause injury to Resident 18 during seizures (uncontrollable shaking).
Findings:
A review of Resident 18's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 18 on 5/1/2023 with
diagnosis which include muscle weakness, epilepsy and lack of coordination.
A review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized care and screening tool), dated
10/22/2023, indicated Resident 18 was severely impaired with cognitive (processes of thinking and
reasoning) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 18 required partial /moderate
assistance (helper does more than half of the effort) on oral hygiene, upper body dressing, putting on /
taking off footwear and personal hygiene. Resident 18 required substantial/ maximum assistance (helper
does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or hold trunks or limbs and provide more than half the effort) on
toilet hygiene, shower / bathe self and lower body dressing.
During a review of Resident 18's Order Summary Report, dated 6/25/2023, indicated monitor padded side
rails for proper placement and condition every shift. Notify maintenance for safety precaution.
During a review of Resident 18's Order Summary Report, dated 6/25/2023, indicated monitor placement of
soft helmet every shift. The order summary report dated 6/25/23 also indicated soft helmet on at all times,
may remove during meals every shift.
During a review of Resident 18's Care Plan, date initiated 5/2/2023, indicated the resident has a seizure
disorder with interventions indicating soft helmet on at all times, may remove during meals.
During an observation on 2/12/2024 at 9:02 AM., in Resident 18's room, Resident 18 was in bed with
bilateral side rails (metal rails that normally hang on the side of the patient's bed) up. The right-side rail was
not padded and Resident 18 was not wearing a soft helmet.
During concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2024 at 11:44 AM., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1), LVN 1 stated the Resident 18's side rail pad was on the floor, and only one side rail was padded.
LVN1 stated since Resident 18 was on seizure precaution (safety measures taken before an individual
experiences a seizure), both side rails should be padded. LVN 1 stated Resident 18 should be wearing the
soft helmet, even in bed and should only be removed during mealtimes.
During interview on 2/15/2024 at 12:48 PM., with the interim Director of Nursing (IDON), IDON stated side
rails should be padded at all the time for the protection and safety of Resident 18.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of
Resident 125's admission Record indicated Resident 125 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident
125's diagnoses included pneumonia (an infection that affects one or both lungs) due to other
gram-negative bacteria (resistant to multiple drugs and are increasingly resistant to most available
antibiotics), severe sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection) with
septic shock (a life-threatening condition that happens when the blood pressure drops to a dangerously low
level after an infection), and enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile (a bacteria that causes diarrhea).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 125's H&P, dated 2/8/2024, indicated Resident 125 can make needs known but
cannot make medical decisions.
A review of Resident 125's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 125 required maximum assistance for
oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showers, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 125's Care Plan, initiated 2/2/2024, indicated Resident 125 had altered respiratory
status related to respiratory failure with hypoxia (a state in which oxygen is not available in sufficient
amounts) and was at risk for alteration of respiratory status related to resident with episodes of removing
oxygen. Staff interventions did not indicate to monitor resident for episodes of removing oxygen.
A review of Resident 125's Physician's Order, dated 2/2/2024 at 1:02 AM, indicated Oxygen at two liters per
minute (LPM) via nasal cannula (a thin, flexible tube that goes around the head and into the nose that
delivers oxygen), titrate (a test that determines the body's oxygen needs at rest and while exercising) to
keep oxygen saturation at 95% and above every shift for Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia.
During an observation of Resident 125 in Resident 125's room on 2/12/2024 at 9:26 AM, Resident 125's
nasal cannula was on the floor next to the bed. The oxygen concentrator (a device that concentrates the
oxygen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream) was set to 1 1/2 Liters.
During an interview with CNA1 on 2/12/2024 at 9:37 AM, CNA1 stated that Resident 125 was supposed to
be on oxygen at all times. CNA1 stated, The charge nurse told me, he is usually on oxygen.
During an interview with LVN on 2/12/2024 at 9:42 AM, LVN stated, He is supposed to have his nasal
cannula on, he has it off. His oxygen does fluctuate (change continuously). If we take it off, he does not
show signs of shortness of breath, but his oxygen level does go down. We always have to check that his
oxygen saturation is 95-97%. Without the nasal cannula, his oxygen drops from 92% to 89%. It would be
dangerous If he doesn't have his nasal cannula because since he is on contact precautions, it would take
some time for the staff to put on PPEs (personal protective equipment) and check on him. We need to make
sure he has it on all the time.
During a concurrent observation and interview with LVN on 2/12/2024 at 9:51 AM, observed Resident 125's
nasal cannula still on the floor. LVN confirmed Resident 125's nasal cannula was on the floor and stated, I
have to check his oxygen because I don't know how long the oxygen has been off. Observed LVN checking
Resident 125's drawers and stated, I usually have my vital sign equipment here, but right now I can't find it.

Residents Affected - Some
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Therapy, revised 11/2017 indicated,
Oxygen is administered under safe and sanitary conditions to meet residents needs. Licensed Nursing staff
will administer oxygen as prescribed.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide oxygen therapy (treatment
that provides supplemental, or extra oxygen) and necessary respiratory care services for three (3) of 3
sampled residents (Resident 4, 125, and 224) for oxygen care area in accordance with the facility's policy
and procedure when:
1. Resident 4's oxygen humidifier (medical device used to humidify supplemental oxygen) and nasal
cannula (a device that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and into your nose) tubing were not on the
floor. Resident 4's oxygen concentrator was also left on when Resident 4 was not on oxygen therapy.
2. Resident 125 did not receive oxygen as indicated on the physician's order.
3. Resident 224's nasal cannula tubing and humidified sterile water was not properly labeled.
These deficient practices had the potential to cause complications associated with oxygen therapy and
increase the risk of infection to Residents 4, 125, and 224.
Findings:
1. A review of the facility's admission record indicated Resident 4 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
A review of Resident 4's History and Physical (H&P), dated 9/4/2023, indicated Resident 4 had capacity to
make decisions.
A review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated
12/11/2023, indicated Resident 4 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand and make
decision). Resident 4 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident
completes activity, helper assist only prior to or following the activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, and
personal hygiene. Resident 4 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues
and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with upper body
dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. It also indicated Resident 4 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with shower and lower body dressing.
A review of Resident 4's Order Summary Report, dated 2/15/2024, indicated a physician's order of oxygen
2 liters per minute via nasal cannula to keep oxygen saturation (measure of how well the lungs are working)
above 92 percent (%) as needed for shortness of breath, with order date of 2/12/2024.
During an observation in Resident 4's room on 2/12/2024 at 8:39 AM, Resident 4's oxygen concentrator
(medical devices for oxygen therapy) placed on the right side of the resident's bed was observed to be
turned on, while the oxygen humidifier and nasal cannula were observed on the floor. Resident 4 was in the
toilet, and not using oxygen therapy at this time.

Findings:
During an observation on 2/12/18 at 7:41 AM, no visible daily nurse staffing information posting was found
at the facility lobby or at either one of the two Nursing Stations.
During an interview with Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 2/14/2024 at 12:46 PM, DSD stated she
was not aware of the location of where the daily nurse staffing information was posted including the facility
name, date, census, and the total number of actual hours worked per shift for licensed and unlicensed staff
responsible for resident care.
During an interview with the Administrator (Admin) on 2/14/2024 at 1:21 PM, Admin stated, the form (daily
nursing staffing form) is usually posted on the consumer board (located at the back of the facility), we
typically just place it there, this is the form we use.
During an observation on 2/14/2024 at 1:26 PM, the Daily Nurse Staffing form was posted at the back of
the facility near the kitchen area and across the activity room, at the bottom of a board mounted on the wall.

and independence), utilize a plate guard (unique spill guard which prevents food from accidentally being
pushed off the plate) and built up spoon (specialized utensil with built up handle designed to assist
residents with limited or weakened grasping strength) during meal, as indicated on the physician's order, for
one of one sampled resident (Resident 39) in Activities of Daily Living care area.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 39 at risk for further decline in physical functioning and decline to
perform self-feeding skills.
Findings:
A review of Resident 39's admission Record indicated the resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
got readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including but not limited to cerebral infarction (stroke, refers to
damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area), dementia (impaired ability to remember,
think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities) and Parkinson's disease (brain
disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with
balance and coordination).
A review of Resident 39's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool) dated
11/2/2023, indicated Resident 39 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding). Resident 39 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort; helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with eating,
oral hygiene, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. Resident 39 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) with toileting hygiene, shower, and upper body dressing.
A review of the Resident 39's Summary Report indicated a Physician's Order dated, 1/2/2024 for a plate
guard and built-up spoon for all meals.
A review of Resident 39's Care Plan, initiated on 3/28/2023 indicated Resident 39's swallowing problem
related to difficulty with thin liquids. Staff intervention included for Resident 39 to eat only with supervision.
A review of Resident 39's Care Plan, initiated on 1/12/2024, indicated Resident 39's impaired activity of
daily living skills due to further decline in physical functioning. The goal indicated Resident 39 will be able to
perform self-feeding skills with supervision to stand by assist with use of plate guard and built-up spoons.
During an observation on 2/12/2024 at 12:22 PM, Resident 39 was in dining room and was being fed by
staff. Resident 39's meal tray was observed to have a plate guard and red colored utensils, which was

Therapist 1 (OT 1) on 2/15/2024 at 10:45 AM, OT stated that Resident 39 has an order for plate guard and
built-up spoon for all meals since 1/2024. OT 1 stated that Resident 39 need these assistive devices during
meals because Resident 39 has the tendency to have shaky hands due to Parkinson's disease. OT 1 stated
that this assistive device would promote Resident 39's ability to self-feed and for independence. OT 1 stated
that if Resident 39 was unable to use the assistive device during meals, nurses should communicate it to
them so an evaluation could be conducted for appropriateness of Resident 39's assistive devices during
meals. OT 1 stated that she was not aware that Resident 39 was being assisted by staff during meals.

Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to dispose garbage and refuse
(disposable material, which includes both recyclable and non-recyclable material) from the kitchen properly
when Dietary Aid was observed dumping four(4) clear bags of kitchen trash on top of the regular facility
trash at the the facility's parking area on the North/East side of the facility building on 2/14/2024
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to result in the attraction and spread of vermin (animals that are believe to be
harmful, or that carry diseases, e.g., rodents parasitic worms or insects) that could potentially infiltrate the
facility, affect the resident care areas and pose a disease threat to residents of the facility.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/14/2024 at 11:19 A.M. in the kitchen, Dietary Aid (DA) was observed taking out
4 bags of kitchen trash to the the facility's parking area on the North East side of the facility building. DA
was observed dumping the trash bags from the kitchen on the ground with the rest of the facility's regular
trash that were also pile on the ground. There were bags containing personal protective equipment (PPE),
chucks, diapers and other miscellaneous trash observed on the ground. There were no garbage and refuse
containers noted at the location.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2024 at 11:19 A.M, Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated,
Trash should not be out like that. This is an infection control issue. Vermin can get into the trash.
Maintenance is in charge of the trash.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2024 at 1:44 PM, Maintenance Director (MD) stated
trash is picked up by the City on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday but this problem with the
trash bags piling up on the ground happens each day the trash is picked up because all the trash bins are
placed outside. MD added, Once the trash bins are brought back, the pile of trash bags on the ground gets
put into the trash bins, but the problem happens again the next day. I know that's not good but that's what
happens. MD stated, It the city's responsibility to pick up the trash and they have no extra bins to place the
trash in while waiting for the trash bins to be brought back.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2024 at 3:07 P.M. with Infection Control Nurse (ICN),
ICN stated, Trash bags should not be on the ground. Trash bags should be kept in trash bins until the trash
bins are back from the city.

Residents Affected - Some
Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 13 out of 35 rooms (5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23) met the square footage requirement of 80 square feet (sq. ft.) per resident in
a multiple resident room.
This deficient practice has the potential to cause the residents in these rooms not to have enough room for
activities of daily living and hinder staff from providing care to the residents.
Findings:
During the initial observation on 2/12/2024, from 9 AM to 10:20 AM, Rooms 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22 and 23 did not meet the minimum requirement of 80 sq. ft. per resident. The residents in these
rooms were able to ambulate freely and/or maneuver in their wheelchairs freely. Nursing staff had enough
space to provide care to these residents with dignity and privacy. There was space for beds, side tables,
dressers, and other medical equipment.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/12/2024 at 11:15 AM, the DON stated that the
administrator would submit a room wavier for these resident rooms room [ROOM NUMBER], 7, 9, 11, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23.
A review of the facility's room waiver dated 2/12/2024, indicated, there was enough space for each
resident's nursing and the health and safety of the residents occupying these rooms. The room waiver
indicated these rooms were in accordance with the needs of the residents and would not have an adverse
effect on the residents' health and safety or impede the ability of any resident to attain his or her highest
practicable well-being. The room waiver showed the following:
Room Sq. Ft. Beds
room [ROOM NUMBER]- 226.9 sq. ft. - 3 beds
room [ROOM NUMBER]- 222.24 sw. ft - 3 beds
room [ROOM NUMBER]- 226.9 sq. ft. - 3 beds

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment
when multiple piles of trash bags were observed on the ground near the facility's parking area on the
North/East side of the facility building.
This failure had the potential to result in the attraction and infestation of vermin (wild animals that are
believed to be harmful such as rodents, parasitic worms or insects) that could potentially infiltrate the
facility, affect resident care areas and pose a direct disease and infection threat to residents.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/14/2024 at 11:19 A.M., multiple piles of trash bags along with other
miscellaneous trash such as a broken folding chair, plastic bucket, two wooden crates, empty cardboard
boxes, and a gurney were observed on the ground near the facility's parking lot area on the North/East side
of the facility building. There were no trash garbage and refuse (disposable material, which includes both
recyclable and non-recyclable material) containers noted at the site. The trash bags were a mixed of regular
facility trash with disposed Personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment used to prevent or minimize
exposure to hazards), diapers, chucks (pads to protect the bed) , and trash bags from the kitchen
disposals.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2024 at 11:19 A.M, Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated,
Trash should not be out like that. This is an infection control issue. Vermin can get into the trash.
