Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure dialysis (a procedure to remove waste products and
excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys [bean-shaped organs, typically two in number, located in the
back of the abdomen] stop working properly) residents received care in accordance with standards of
practice for two of three sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 2) by failing to ensure that Post
Dialysis Assessments (refers to evaluations conducted after a dialysis treatment to monitor a resident's
condition and effectiveness of the dialysis process) were accurately and completely documented. This
deficient practice had the potential to result in an increased risk of harm due to potential undetected
post-dialysis complications. a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 2/5/2024 and readmitted Resident 1 on 3/26/2025
with diagnosis including end stage renal disease (ESRD- a severe, permanent condition where the kidneys
can no longer adequately filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, requiring either dialysis or a kidney
transplant for survival) and dependence on renal (kidney) dialysis. During a review of Resident 1 Minimum
Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 5/14/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact
cognition (the mental process involved in knowing, learning, and understanding things). The MDS indicated
Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance from staff with oral hygiene and personal hygiene and
required substantial/maximal assistance from staff with toileting and showering or bathing. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 7/29/2025 at 11:35 a.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON), Resident 1's Dialysis Communication Record dated 7/2/2025 was reviewed. The ADON stated
that Resident 1's Post Dialysis Assessment Section, which is to be completed by facility staff upon Resident
1's return from dialysis was incomplete. The ADON stated that Resident 1's vital signs (measurements of
the body's most basic functions) were not documented, and the section was left blank. The ADON stated
that upon a resident's return from dialysis, facility staff should perform an assessment that includes vital
signs, an assessment of the resident's dialysis access site and an assessment of the resident's cognitive
status. The ADON further stated that the Post Dialysis Assessment should be documented on the Dialysis
Communication Record. The ADON further stated that the Post Dialysis Assessments are necessary to
identify any changes from Resident 1's baseline (condition of a resident before any intervention or
treatment is applied) and to ensure it is safe for the resident to remain in the facility. b. During a review of
Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 2
on 3/29/2014 and readmitted Resident 2 on 5/1/2025 with diagnosis including end stage renal disease and
dependence on renal dialysis. During a review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated
Resident 2 had intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required setup or clean-up assistance from
staff with eating and toileting hygiene and required supervision or touching assistance from staff with oral
hygiene, upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene. During a review of

Resident 2's Care Plan for hemodialysis (a medical procedure used to remove waste products and excess
fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform adequately), initiated on 6/26/2023 due to a
diagnosis of ESRD, the Care Plan indicated a goal to minimize the risks and complications associated with
dialysis treatment such as hypotension (a medical condition characterized by low blood pressure), muscle
cramps and vomiting. The Care Plan interventions included documenting the date, time, and condition of
the resident upon return from dialysis. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/29/2025 at
11:47 a.m. with the ADON, Resident 2's Dialysis Communication Record dated 7/21/2025 was reviewed.
The ADON stated that on 7/21/2025, Resident 2's Post Dialysis Assessment section was not completed
and was left blank. The ADON further stated that it is the responsibility of the licensed nurse assigned to
Resident 2 to ensure that Resident 2's Post Dialysis Assessment is completed and properly documented to
help ensure Resident 2's safety. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care of
Resident Receiving Renal Dialysis, last reviewed on 3/12/2025, indicated to ensure that nursing staff are
aware of special needs of residents receiving renal dialysis, and provide care accordingly. Complete post
dialysis assessment on return from treatment. Nursing staff will observe the resident for the following: a.
Change in level of consciousness; b. Change in cardiovascular or respiratory status; c. Change in mental
status; d. Change in renal status; e. Marked change in blood pressure; f. Bleeding at access site; g. Skin
changes; h. Absence of bruit (whooshing or swishing, heard during auscultation [listening with a
stethoscope {a medical instrument used to amplify and listen to internal body sounds}]) /thrill (a vibration
caused by blood flow) of shunt (a connection between a vein and artery that helps the body create the flow
of blood it needs for dialysis to work) area; i. Pain and swelling; j. Lethargy (a state of extreme tiredness,
weakness and lack of energy); k. Any injuries sustained during transfer.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the prescribed renal diet (a specialized
diet designed for residents with kidney [bean-shaped organs, typically two in number, located in the back of
the abdomen] disease) for two of three sampled residents (Resident 2 and Resident 3) as outlined in the
facility's printed menu by serving broccoli instead of green beans, rice instead of wheat pasta, and omitting
the parsley garnish on the resident's plate. This deficient practice had the potential to result in residents
receiving foods high in potassium (a vital mineral [electrolytes] that the body needs for various functions,
including nerve and muscle function, maintaining a regular heartbeat, and transporting nutrients in and out
of cells, also crucial for regulating blood pressure), phosphorus (a mineral that needs careful management
due to its impact on kidney health) which can contribute to serious complications such as electrolyte
imbalances (occur when the levels of essential minerals in the body like potassium are too high or too low),
fluid retention (when the body holds onto excess fluid, often causing swelling in various parts of the body),
hypertension (high blood pressure) or cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal patterns of the heartbeat). a. During a
review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted
Resident 2 on 3/29/2014 and readmitted Resident 2 on 5/1/2025 with diagnosis including end stage renal
disease (ESRD- a severe, permanent condition where the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste
and excess fluid from the blood, requiring either dialysis [a procedure to remove waste products and excess
fluid from the blood when the kidneys organs, stop working properly] or a kidney transplant for survival) and
dependence on renal (kidney) dialysis. During a review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS
indicated Resident 2 had intact cognition (the mental process involved in knowing, learning, and
understanding things). The MDS indicated Resident 2 required setup or clean-up assistance from staff with
eating and toileting hygiene and required supervision or touching assistance from staff with oral hygiene,
upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 2's Physician's Order
dated 4/15/2025, timed 9:19 a.m., the Physician's Order indicated that Resident 2 was prescribed a renal
diet with 80 grams (g - unit of measurement for the weight of nutrients) of protein, Consistent Carbohydrate
(CCHO - diet consistency that helps control blood sugar levels), mechanical soft (a diet that involves eating
foods that have been modified to be easy to chew and swallow) texture, and thin fluid consistency. During a
review of the facility's Summer Menu for the week of 7/29/2025, the Summer Menu indicated the following
food items were to be served to residents on a renal diet: Herb & spice roast beef, Herb & spice gravy,
Wheat pasta with margarine, [NAME] beans, Parsley garnish, Fruit mix crumble cake. During an
observation 7/29/2025 at 12:15 p.m., observed Resident 2's lunch tray with chopped meat protein, rice, and
broccoli. b. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 3 on 5/29/2025 with diagnosis including ESRD and dependence on renal dialysis. During
a review of Resident 3's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 3 had intact cognition. The MDS
indicated Resident 3 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and required partial/moderate
assistance from staff with oral hygiene and personal hygiene and was dependent on staff with toileting
hygiene, shower/bathing self and lower body dressing. During a review of Resident 3's Physician's Order
dated 6/5/2025, timed 6:14 p.m., the Physician's Order indicated that Resident 3 was prescribed a renal
diet with 80 g of protein, CCHO diet, regular diet texture, and thin fluid consistency. During a review of the
facility's Summer Menu for the week of 7/29/2025, the Summer Menu indicated the following food items

residents on a renal diet: Herb & spice roast beef, Herb & spice gravy, Wheat pasta with margarine, [NAME]
beans, Parsley garnish, Fruit mix crumble cake. During a concurrent observation and interview on
7/29/2025 at 12:25 p.m., with Resident 3, Resident 3's meal tray was observed. Resident 3 stated that her
(Resident 3's) meal tray consists of roast beef, rice and broccoli. Resident 3 stated that the food items
served were not consistent with the renal diet menu. Additionally, no parsley garnished was observed on
Resident 3's tray, as indicated in the facility's printed menu. c. During a review of the facility's Summer Menu
for the week of 7/29/2025, the Summer Menu indicated the following food items were to be served to
residents on renal CCHO diet: Herb & spice roast beef, Herb & spice gravy, Mashed potatoes, Spinach
AuGratin, Parsley garnish, Fruit mix crumble cake. During a concurrent observation and interview on
7/29/2025 at 1:50 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), a test tray was observed. The DON stated that
there was no parsley garnish present on the test tray. During an interview on 7/29/2025 at 2:10 p.m., with
the Registered Dietitian (RD), the RD stated that the kitchen staff did not follow the renal diet menu. The RD
stated that broccoli should not have been served because it contains a higher level of potassium compared
to green beans. The RD further stated that wheat pasta should have been served as indicated on the
menu. The RD stated that kitchen staff should have followed the printed menu. The RD continued to state
that adherence to the renal diet menu is critical, as any deviation can negatively impact a resident's
potassium and phosphorus levels, potentially leading to serious health complications. During an interview
on 7/29/2025 at 2:25 p.m., with the [NAME] (CK), the CK stated that he had prepared green beans but ran
out. CK further stated that he was not the person responsible for serving the food on the tray line. CK stated
that he should have prepared more green beans and that broccoli should not have been served as a
substitute. When asked why rice was served instead of wheat pasta, CK did not provide a response. When
questioned about the absence of the parsley garnish, CK did not respond. During a follow up interview on
7/29/2025 at 2:39 p.m., with the RD, the RD stated that CK should have looked for an additional can of
green beans. The RD stated that upon running out of green beans, CK should have informed the
appropriate staff so that residents on a renal diet could be notified. The RD stated that the kitchen staff
failed to follow the printed menu by not serving the food items listed and failed to communicate with the
residents regarding the deviation from the planned meal. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P), Menu, last reviewed on 3/12/2025, indicated 28 day cycle menus are prepared by the
dietitian and modifications of individual resident menus are made as necessary to comply with physician
orders and/or resident preferences. The standard menu will ensure nutritional adequacy of all diets, offer a
variety of food inadequate amounts at each meal, and a standardized food production. If any meal served
varies from the planned menu the change and the reason for the change shall be noted on the written
menu. The menus will be prepared as written using standardized recipes. The dietary services supervisor
and cooks are trained and responsible for the preparation and service of therapeutic diets prescribed.
When changes in the menu are necessary substitutions shall be comparable nutritive value, and the
substituted food shall come from the same food group. Menu changes must be noted on the back of the
menu. The reason for the change must also be noted.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one of three sampled
residents (Resident 3) food preferences were honored when rice, a documented disliked food item, was
served during lunch on 7/29/2025. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 3 being served rice, which
had the potential to lead to decreased food intake and subsequent weight loss. During a review of Resident
3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 3 on 5/29/2025 with
diagnosis including end stage renal disease (ESRD- a severe, permanent condition where the kidneys can
no longer adequately filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, requiring either dialysis [a procedure to
remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys {bean-shaped organs, typically
two in number, located in the back of the abdomen} stop working properly] or a kidney transplant for
survival) and dependence on renal (kidney) dialysis. During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set
(MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 6/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 had intact cognition (the
mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and the
senses). The MDS indicated Resident 3 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and required
partial/moderate assistance from staff with oral hygiene and personal hygiene and was dependent on staff
with toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self and lower body dressing. During a review of Resident 3's
Nutrition/Dietary Note dated 6/20/2025 timed at 8:54 a.m., the Nutrition/Dietary Note indicated that
Resident 3 dislikes both pasta and rice. During a review of Resident 3's Meal Ticket (refers to a physical or
digital document that indicates a resident's dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences, ensuring they
receive the appropriate meals) dated 7/29/2025 for lunch, the Meal Ticket indicated that Resident 3 dislikes
both pasta and rice. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/29/2025 at 12:25 p.m., with
Resident 3, during lunch, observed Resident 3's lunch plate consisting of a protein, rice and broccoli.
Resident 3 stated that the facility always serves Resident 3 rice, even though the facility knows Resident 3
does not like rice. Resident 3 further stated Resident 3 will not eat the rice because Resident 3 does not
like rice. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/29/2025 at 2:02 p.m., with the Registered
Dietitian (RD), Resident 3's Nutritional/Dietary Note dated 6/20/2025 timed at 8:54 a.m. was reviewed. The
Nutritional/Dietary Note indicated that Resident 3's dislikes both pasta and rice. The RD stated that the
facility should have honored Resident 3's documented dietary preferences and that Resident 3 should not
have been served rice. The RD further stated that kitchen staff should have communicated with Resident 3
and should have offered an appropriate substitute such as wheat bread or corn. The RD stated that kitchen
staff are expected to follow residents' dietary preferences at all times. During a review of the facility's
Policies and Procedures (P&P) titled Resident Food Preferences last reviewed on 3/12/2025, the P&P
indicated Individual food preferences will be assessed upon admission and communicated to the
interdisciplinary team. Modifications to diet will only be offered with the residents' or representative's
consent. Policy Interpretation: 1.1. Upon the resident's admission (or within twenty-four (24) hours after
his/her admission) the dietitian or nursing staff will identify resident's food preferences. 2.2. When possible,
staff will interview the residents directly to determine current food preferences based on history and life
patterns related to food and mealtimes. 310. The food service department will offer a variety of foods at
each meal, as well as access to nourishing snacks throughout the day and night.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitation and food
handling practices by failing to ensure dietary staff did not have their personal cell phone in the preparation
area for one of three sampled staff. This deficient practice had the potential to result in foodborne illness
(refers to illness caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or beverages) and had the potential of
spreading infection for 95 out of 95 in-house residents living in the facility.During an observation on
7/29/2025 at 12:30 p.m., in the kitchen, observed DA's personal cell phone in the food preparation area.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/29/2025 at 12:31 p.m., in the kitchen, observed DA
reaching for her (DA) personal cellphone, which was located on the food preparation area. The DA stated
that the cellphone belonged to her (DA) and stated that cellphone should not have been in the food
preparation area. DA stated, I'm sorry. During an interview on 7/29/2025 at 2:18 p.m., with the Registered
Dietician (RD), the RD stated that personal items should not be placed in or near the food preparation area.
The RD stated that all personal belongings, including cellphones, must be kept away from food preparation
areas due to the risk of cross-contamination (the transfer of harmful bacteria from one food item to another,
or from a food item to a surface, utensil, or even a person's hands, and then to another food item). During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Sanitation and Infection Control, last reviewed on
3/12/2025, the P&P indicated food service employees will follow infection control policies to ensure the
department operates under sanitary conditions at all times. Employee personal belongings (i.e. clothing,
food, cell phone, etc.) should be stored in a separate area away from food or items used in food service.
