**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote dignity for two of six residents
(Resident 4 and Resident 177) when:1. Resident 177 had an uncovered urinary collection bag (when urine
drains from the bladder into a clear plastic drainage bag); and,2 . A staff member stood over Resident 4,
while assisting with a meal.These failures had the potential for Residents 4 and 177 to feel exposed and
undignified. Findings:1. Resident 177 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], after a hospital diagnosis of
bacteremia (a bacterial infection in the bloodstream), per the hospital discharge records, dated
12/11/25.During initial tour on 12/15/25 at 9:42 A.M., Resident 177's bed was empty. According to Licensed
Nurse 31 (LN 31), Resident 177 was outside the secured unit (a specialized, controlled environment within
a facility, for residents with mental illness or memory loss) attending a physical therapy session.An
observation was conducted of LN 32 on 12/15/25 at 2:34 P.M., as she was administering Resident 177 an
intravenous antibiotic (medication administered directly into a patient's bloodstream through a vein) in the
resident's room. Resident 177 had a urinary collection bag hanging from the right bedframe. The collection
bag was a milliliter cylinder type (usually utilized in a hospital setting for closely monitoring the urine output)
and was uncovered. The urine was visible in the collection bag. A dignity bag (a dark colored bag utilized to
cover urine collection bags) was not covering the collection bag or attached to the resident's wheelchair,
which was used earlier to transport Resident 177 to physical therapy. A joint observation and interview was
conducted with LN 32 while inside Resident 177's room on 12/15/25 at 2:54 P.M. LN 32 observed visible
urine within Resident 177 urine collection bag and stated the drainage bag should have a dignity bag
covering it, and there was not one present. LN 32 stated dignity bags were important to protect the
resident's privacy and to provide dignity.An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON ) on
12/18/25, at 8:50 A.M. The DON stated she expected all urinary collection bags to be covered with a dignity
bag, to promote a resident's privacy and dignity. According to the facility's policy, titled Resident Rights,
Dignity and Respect, dated October 2015, .4. Residents shall be examined and treated in a manner that

included paranoid schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized by intense paranoia, distrust, and
suspicion, often leading to delusions (believing others want to harm you) and auditory
hallucinations-hearing voices), per the facility's admission Record.An observation was conducted of
Certified Nursing Assistant 31 (CNA 31) on 12/17/25 at 8 A.M., as she assisted Resident 4 with her
breakfast within the resident's room. Resident 4 was in bed with the head of the bed elevated. CNA 31 was
standing next to the bed, with a spoon in her hand and a meal tray on the bedside table. CNA 31 was
observed standing over Resident 4's head, by approximately 2 feet. An interview was conducted with CNA
31 on 12/17/25 at 8:04 A.M. CNA 31 stated, Yes, I know I should not have been standing over her while

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a thorough investigation was
conducted for an allegation of abuse for one of one resident (Resident 162), when Resident 162 reported a
male staff (RNA- restorative nursing assistant 1) inappropriately touched her. This failure had the potential
to negatively affect Resident 162's psychosocial wellbeing and the potential to expose all residents in the
facility to abuse.Findings: On 12/2/25, the Department of Public Health (CDPH) received a facility reported
incident for an allegation of RNA 1 inappropriately touched Resident 162's breast. On 12/15/25 at 9:25
A.M., a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Resident 162 in her room, curled up in
bed. Resident 162 stated RNA 1 touched her breast in her room, but could not recall the date and time it
happened. Resident 162 stated there were two unwitnessed incidents with the same staff (RNA 1).
Resident 162 stated she informed her roommate (Resident 9) about the second incident. On 12/15/25 at
9:36 A.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 9. Resident 9 stated the incident happened a couple
of weeks ago after breakfast in the room. Resident 9 stated she heard Resident 162 saying it is not
happening. Resident 9 stated she did not not witness the incident. On 12/17/25 at 8:55 A.M., a concurrent
interview and a review of Resident 162's clinical records and RNA 1's record was conducted with the
Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated Resident 162's physician History and Physical (H&P) dated
11/3/25 indicated Resident 162 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The DON
stated Resident 162's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS - ability to recall) score dated 11/7/25 was
5/15 which meant Resident 162's cognitive level was severely impaired. The DON stated RNA 1 did not
have any previous allegations of abuse, was not previously suspended, had no disciplinary actions prior,
and he was up to date with his in -services and trainings. On 12/18/25 at 10:30 A.M., a follow up interview
and record review was conducted with the DON. The DON stated there were no date and time Resident 9
and Resident 162 were interviewed during the facility investigation. The DON stated there were no date and
time when RNA 1 was interviewed. The DON stated there were no other residents interviews to whom RNA
1 provided care or services. The DON stated she should have interviewed other residents and staff
members to have a more understanding of the abuse allegation and the investigation would have a more
definitive conclusion to make the investigation thorough and complete for prevention and safety of all
residents. According to the facility policy entitled Administration, revised 6/2025, indicated .The investigation
will include the following:.An interview with staff members (on all shifts) who may have information
regarding the alleged incident;.Interviews with other residents to whom the accused employee provides

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess and code two of six
residents (130 and 9) for Restorative Nursing Services (RNA-a specially training certified nursing assistant
who provides range of motion exercises with residents, in order to maintain mobility and flexibility) on their
Minimum Data Set (MDS-a mandated reporting assessment tool) used to inform Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), of residents' current status reviewed for MDS accuracy. This failure resulted in
CMS not being informed of Resident 130's and Resident 9's current health status and services being
provided.Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 130 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included cerebral infarction
(stroke - a medical emergency where blood flow to part of the brain is suddenly blocked or a blood vessel
bursts, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients causing them to die within minutes) affecting the left
side (weakness of the left extremities), per the facility's admission Record.
During initial tour 12/15/25 at 10:53 A.M., an observation and interview was conducted with Resident 130
as he laid in bed. A wheelchair was positioned near the foot of the bed. Resident 130 stated he wanted
physical therapy, because he could not walk and he felt he was getting weaker every day. Resident 130
stated he really wanted to walk again.
Resident 130's medical record was reviewed on 12/17/25.
According to the physician's order, dated 10/22/25 indicated, Program for passive range of motion, left
lower extremity, all planes, 10 repetitions, two sets, three times a week as tolerated.
According to the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS-a clinical assessment tool), dated 12/11/25, Resident
130 had a cognitive score of 15, indicating cognition was intact. The quarterly MDS for Special Treatments,
Section O, listed no Restorative Nursing Programs had been provided in the past seven days. A care plan,
titled Resident at Risk for decline in Range of Motion, undated, listed RNA services being provided three
times a week. The Weekly Restorative Nursing notes were present in the facility's Progress notes.
An interview was conducted with certified nursing assistant 32 (CNA 32) on 12/17/25 at 9:58 A.M. CNA 32
stated it was important to recognize and identify residents with deteriorating range of motion, so a referral
to physical therapy could be made and an assessment completed.
An interview was conducted with Restorative Nursing Assistant 1 (RNA 1) on 12/17/25 at 12:06 P.M. RNA 1
stated Resident 130 was receiving RNA services three times a week to the lower extremities.
An interview and record review was conducted with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), regarding
Resident 130's RNA services. The MDSN stated when reviewing and assessing residents for services, she
reviews the physician's orders, nurses' notes, care plans, and administration records. The MDSN reviewed
Resident 130's current physician orders, which indicated RNA services were being provided. The MDSN
reviewed the 12/11/25 MDS, section O for RNA services which indicated no services were being provided.
The MDS then checked the RNA administration record, which had no documented services. The MDSN left
to get RNA 1, in order to confirm if RNA services were being provided or not.

to Medicaid-certified nursing facilities (NFs) if they can be served in a more integrated, community-based
setting) was completed in a timely manner for one of three residents (Resident 129) reviewed for
PASSAR.The failure had the potential for Resident 129 to be improperly placed or to miss out on additional
services offered for PASSAR II residents.Findings:Resident 129 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which included schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought),
per the facility's admission Record. An observation and interview was conducted with Resident 129 on

was requested and reviewed, the MDSN realized Resident 129's PASARR II was never completed. The
MDSN stated she could not recall ever receiving any calls from the State to schedule the evaluation or ever
receiving the PASARR II letter, indicating the case was closed due to being unable to reach the facility to
schedule it. The MDSN stated since the PASARR II was never completed it had the potential for a delay in

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure: 1.Timely assessment, monitoring and
immediate physician notification in response to significant clinical changes, including suspected
gastrointestinal (referring to the stomach and intestines) bleeding and ongoing nausea or vomiting for one
of three sampled residents reviewed for closed record (Resident 1). Cross Reference F 580. 2. A
physician's order was obtained from the attending physician prior to blood sugar checks on a resident
(Resident 9) who was on insulin (antidiabetic medication). In addition, blood sugar checks was obtained
without proper time interval. This deficient practice resulted in a delay in the resident receiving treatment to
address Resident 1's necessary care and services and placed Resident 1's health at risk. In addition,
Resident 9 had blood sugar checks without physician's order, without appropriate time interval and caused
discomfort to Resident 9. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included pneumonia (infection of
the lungs), per the facility's admission Record.
A review of Resident 1's history and physical (H&P) dated [DATE] was conducted. Per the H&P, Resident
1's Computed Tomography (CT scan, a type of imaging that uses X-ray techniques to create detailed
images) of his chest, abdomen and pelvis at the general acute care hospital (GACH) indicated Resident 1
had left chest wall large hematoma with active extravasation (a collection of blood in the extra thoracic
space). The H&P indicated one of Resident 1's active medications was enoxaparin (anticoagulant, blood
thinner medication).
On [DATE] at 8:38 A.M., a joint record review and interview was conducted with LN 32. LN 32 stated
Resident 1 was transferred to the GACH on [DATE] at 10:50 A.M. after a cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Resident 1 had a CIC. LN 32 stated the LNs should have immediately informed the attending physician
because Resident 1 was on anticoagulant and vomited a coffee ground emesis. LN 32 stated there was no
monitoring documented for Resident 1. LN 32 stated the purpose of monitoring Resident 1 for further
bleeding was to notify the attending physician because coffee ground emesis was a sign of bleeding and
could be dangerous to Resident 1's health.

at 9:38 A.M., an observation of Resident 5 in the room was conducted. Resident 5 was lying flat on bed
while a TF was infusing. On 12/16/25 at 10:40 A.M., a joint observation of Resident 5 and an interview was
conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 32. LN 32 stated Resident 5's TF would have been completed at 10
A.M. LN 32 stated Resident 5's head of bed was flat and should have been elevated to prevent Resident 5
from aspiration that could have led to pneumonia (lung infection). LN 32 stated for residents with ongoing
TF, the head of the bed should have been elevated to 30 to 45 degrees angle to prevent the residents from
aspiration. A review of Resident 5's plan of care, titled Enteral Feeding, indicated one of the interventions
was to elevate Resident 5's head of bed at 45 degrees angle during and thirty minutes after TF. On
12/18/25 at 4 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. The DON stated
facility's policy for residents with ongoing TF, the residents' head of bed should be elevated at 30-45
degrees angle to prevent from aspiration. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Gastrostomy Tube Care and Management, dated 1/22 was conducted. The P&P did not provide guidance

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess respiratory status during a nebulizer
treatment (liquid medication delivered as a fine mist inhaled into the lungs through a mouthpiece or mask)
for two of two residents (Resident 178 and Resident 8) reviewed for respiratory care. This failure had the
potential for residents to receive inappropriate care and treatment to address their respiratory
problems.Findings: 1.Resident 178 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition where the lungs fail to adequately exchange oxygen, leading to
low oxygen in the blood) according to the facility's admission Record. On 12/17/25 at 8:55 A.M. Resident
178's family member notified Licensed Nurse (LN) 14 that Resident 178 had difficulty breathing. LN 14
informed Resident 178's family member that he will administer a nebulizer treatment to Resident 178 to
help with the breathing. LN 14 took a medication in a plastic vial from the medication cart. LN 14 poured the
liquid medication into a chamber connected to a mask and a machine, placed the mask on Resident 178
and then turned on the machine. LN 14 did not listen to Resident 178's lung sounds, checked respiratory
rate and heart rate prior to, during or after the nebulizer treatment. During a review of Resident 178's Order
Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated, Ipratopium-Albuterol Solution.3 ml [milliliter] inhale
three times a day for Acute respiratory failure. An interview was conducted with LN 11 on 12/18/25 at 8:31
A.M. LN 11 stated for nebulizer treatments, the resident's lung sounds, respirations and heart rate should
be checked before and after the nebulizer treatment. LN 11 stated an assessment should be conducted in
case there was a change in the resident's condition. 2.Resident 8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and gastrostomy status (feeding tube in the
stomach) according to the facility's admission Record. A medication administration observation for Resident
8 was conducted on 12/17/25 at 9:52 A.M. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 14. LN 14 stated Resident 8 was due
for a nebulizer treatment. LN 14 took a liquid medication in a small plastic vial from the medication cart,
poured the medication into a chamber connected to a mask and a machine, applied the mask to Resident 8
then turned on the nebulizer machine. LN 14 did not check Resident 8's lung sounds, respiratory rate and
heart rate before, during or after the nebulizer treatment. A review of the Order Summary Report for
Resident 8 indicated, Budesonide [a steroid medication used to reduce inflammation] Inhalation
Suspension.2 ml [milliliter] inhale orally via nebulizer two times a day for COPD (Chronic Obstructive
Disease- lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe) Nebulizer treatment. During an
interview on 12/18/25 at 10:16 A.M. with LN 14. LN 14 stated he was not instructed to check a resident's
respiratory rate and pulse prior to, during or after a nebulizer treatment. An interview on 12/18/25 at 10:29
A.M. with LN 34 was conducted. LN 34 stated the resident's respirations, breathing and pulse should be
checked before and after a nebulizer treatment. LN 34 stated it was important to check the resident's heart
rate if it was normal after a nebulizer treatment and if the treatment was effective. An interview on 12/18/25
at 4:50 P.M., was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated she expected nurses to
stay with the resident during breathing treatment. The DON stated nurses should check the resident's
respirations, listen to their lungs and check heart rate because some medications could increase heart rate.
The DON stated an assessment should be done to check for abnormality and effectiveness of the nebulizer
treatment. A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Small Volume Nebulizer was
conducted. The P&P indicated, Nebulizer treatment is done to improve and promote coughing, to improve
distribution of ventilation [process of moving air in and out of the respiratory system], to open up alveoli [air
sacs in the lungs], to

following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to address and implement the Consulting Pharmacist's (CP)
recommendation during a monthly Medication Regimen Review (MRR) regarding a psychotropic
medication (a medication that affects brain function), for one of five residents (Resident 99), for Medication
Review. In addition, the CP did not identify monitoring of untoward side effects of anticoagulant (AC, blood
thinner medication) for one of two residents (Resident 5) reviewed for AC (Cross Reference F 757). This
failure had the potential for Resident 99 not to be monitored appropriately by staff for exhibiting specific
behaviors. In addition, Resident 5 was not monitored for untoward side effects of AC for five
months.Findings:
Resident 99 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included paranoid schizophrenia,
(a mental illness marked by intense paranoia, delusions [false beliefs, often persecutory], and auditory
hallucinations [hearing voices]), according to the facility's admission Record.

Monitor episodes of anxiety as exhibited by restlessness every shift.
According to undated care plan, titled Anti-Anxiety medication use related to anxiety disorder as exhibited
by anxiousness, included an intervention of: Monitor/record occurrences of target behavior.
A review of the MRR for October 2025 was conducted on 12/17/25. The CP made the recommendation for
Resident 99's Ativan use indicated: Restlessness is vague and subjected, it is not measurable, please
change or correct. There was no documented evidence that the recommendation was addressed or acted
on.
An interview and record review regarding Resident 99 was conducted with Licensed Nurse 33 (LN 33 ) on
12/18/25 at 8:27 A.M. LN 33 stated to administer a psychotropic medication, there needed to be a
physician's order, a consent signed by the resident or their responsible party, and a specific behavior to
monitoring for. LN 33 reviewed Resident 99's physician order for Ativan behavior monitoring, which listed a
behavior of restlessness. LN 33 stated the behavior was too vague and subjective. LN 33 stated the
behavior should be more specific like, repeatedly pacing. getting up and down from bed. LN 33 stated the
behavior of restlessness should have been captured sooner by staff and changed to a specific targeted
behavior.
An interview and record review was conducted regarding Resident 99 with LN 31 on 12/18/25 at 8:34 A.M.
LN 31 stated specific behaviors needed to be listed by the physician for staff to monitor for, when receiving
a psychotropic medication. LN 31 reviewed Resident 99's physicians' order for Ativan behavior monitoring.
LN 31 stated the behavior of restlessness was too vague and was unacceptable for monitoring. LN 31
stated the behavior needed to be very specific such as yelling and/or screaming at staff.
An interview and record review regarding Resident 99's MRR was conducted with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on 12/18/25 at 8:50 A.M. The DON stated specific behavior monitoring should be documented, so
staff were aware of what behavior they were monitoring for. The DON reviewed Resident 99's October 2025
MMR and the CP's recommendation regarding the vague behavior of restlessness. The DON stated

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen staff carried out
the tasks of the food and nutrition services department in accordance with the standard of practice for the
following kitchen competencies: 1. [NAME] (CK) 1 did not demonstrate how to conduct spoon tilt tests (food
must hold its shape on a spoon and when tilted, it should fall off with little residue) of pureed food. 2. CK 2
did not know how to calibrate food thermometers. These failures had the potential to expose all residents
who consumed food from the kitchen to contract a food-borne illness. Findings: 1.On 12/17/25 at 10:16
A.M., a joint observation of CK 1 performing spoon tilt test of pureed food with the Dietary Services
Supervisor (DSS) and the Registered Dietitian (RD) present; and an interview with CK 1 was conducted.
CK 1 took the pureed brussels sprouts in a metal bin off the heating rack, took a spoon filled of the pureed
brussels sprouts, performed spoon tilt test, returned the spoon filled to the puree, mixed the puree, took
another scoop or pureed brussels sprouts, returned it back to the bin and did the process four times. CK 1
stated she was looking for a pudding consistency. CK 1 stated she should have done the spoon tilt testing
on a plate instead of the whole bin of the pureed food. On 12/18/25 at 10:16 A.M., a joint review of CK 1's
in-service training and an interview was conducted with the DSS. The DSS stated CK 1 had an in-service
training in August and September 2025. The DSS stated CK 1 should have performed the spoon tilt test in
a plate prior to serving to maintain the texture of the whole container of the pureed food. The facility did not
provide policy and procedure regarding spoon tilt test of pureed food. 2. On 12/17/25 at 11:43 A.M., a joint
observation of CK 2 calibrating the food thermometer with the DSS and the RD present, and an interview
with CK 2 was conducted. CK 2 put three thermometers in a metal bin with ice and water and left the
thermometers submerged with the probes touching the bottom of the metal bin. CK 2 stated she will start
the tray line. CK 2 calibrated the thermometer every time she checked the temperature of the cooked food
items. The DSS stopped CK 2 and told CK 2, You don't have to calibrate the thermometer every time you
check the temperature. On 12/18/25 at 10:16 A.M., a joint review of CK 2's in-service training and an
interview was conducted with the DSS. The DSS stated CK 2 had an in-service training on how to calibrate
a food thermometer on 11/7/25. The DSS stated CK 2 did not demonstrate the calibration of the food
thermometer properly. The DSS stated the probes of the thermometer should not touch the bottom or the
sides of the bucket because it affects the temperature and the calibration would not be accurate. A review
of the facility's policy titled Thermometer Use and Calibration, dated 2023, indicated, .Checking the
Accuracy and Calibrating.1. Fill a large glass with crushed ice and add clean tap water until slush is formed.
Stir the mixture well, 2. Put the thermometer's stem into the ice water so that the sensing area is completely
submerged.Do not let the stem touch the bottom or sides of the glass. The thermometer sensor or probe
must remain in the ice water one minute and during calibration process.

both issues. The DON stated she began by monitoring, auditing, and educating staff regarding medication
storage and they thought they had corrected the issues, so it was dropped from QAPI. The DON stated
based on the current medication error rate during this re-certification, and the medication storage issues,
they should have identified improvement was needed prior to survey. The ADM stated the Director
Maintenance did not attend their quarterly QAA meetings. The DON stated maintenance issues were
discussed every morning in their stand-up meetings. The ADM acknowledged equipment safety issues
were identified during recertification, which should have been brought to his attention by the Director of
Maintenance, or facility's Safety Committee, prior to survey. A review of the facility's QAPI plan dated
9/10/25 through 12/2025, listed no implementation or monitoring of medication administration, medication

functional manner for 57 of 159 residents, located in the secured unit, (specialized, secured area for
residents with dementia or mental illness, who are prone to wandering), when:1. Handrails in the hallway, (
Station 3), had peeling paint, and;2. A bed remote control had exposed wires.These failures had the
potential for peeling paint to be ingested by confused residents and the wires from the bed's remote control
to pierce the skin of a resident.Findings:During initial tour on 12/15/25 at 10:07 A.M., an observation was
conducted of the handrails outside room [ROOM NUMBER]. The handrails contained numerous layers of

conducted with Licensed Nurse 33 (LN 33) on 12/17/25 at 11:30 A.M., of Station 3's handrails, near the
nurse's station. LN 33 stated the handrails were painted last night, because the previous paint kept peeling.

added. LN 33 stated the harm with the peeling paint was residents could ingest the peeling paint. An
observation was conducted of Station 2's hallway handrail on 12/17/25 at 12:11 P.M. The handrail near the
