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
interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to maintain or
improve mobility, and prevent decline in range of motion (ROM) for two out of 19 sampled residents
(Resident 30 and Resident 23) when:1. Resident 30's restorative nursing program (RNA programinterventions that actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial
functioning) frequency was not followed; and,2. An RNA program referral from Physical Therapy (PT) was
not implemented for Resident 23.This failure had the potential for Resident 30 and Resident 23 to
experience a decline in range of motion and/or function and not achieve their highest practicable physical
wellbeing.Findings:
1. A review of Resident 30's clinical record indicated Resident 30 was admitted June of 2023 and had
diagnoses that included hemiplegia (complete loss of the ability to move one side of the body) and
hemiparesis (partial weakness of one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (damage to a part in the
brain due to a disrupted blood flow) and contractures (permanent shortening of muscles, skin, and nearby
soft tissue that results in limited range of motion and stiffness) of left hand and right knee.
A review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS– a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
Cognitive Patterns, dated 8/7/25, indicated Resident 30 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a
tool to assess cognition) score of 5 out of 15 which indicated Resident 30 had a severely intact cognition
(mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of Resident 30's MDS Functional
Abilities indicated Resident 30 was dependent with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathing
self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. A further review
of Resident 30's MDS Functional Abilities indicated Resident 30 was also dependent with rolling left and
right, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and tub/shower transfer.
During a phone interview on 9/8/25 at 3:15 p.m. with Resident 30's daughter, Resident 30's daughter stated
Resident 30 was not getting his exercises as often as he needed.
A review of Resident 30's active physician's order, dated 10/13/23, indicated, RNA to provide PROM
[passive range of motion- the movement of a joint by an external force] for BLE's [bilateral lower extremitiesboth legs] .3x/wk [three times a week] with 1 person assist. every day shift.
A review of Resident 30's active physician's order, dated 10/13/23, indicated, RNA to provide PROM for
LUE [left upper extremity- left arm] .3x/wk with 1 person assist, as tolerated. every day shift.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 2:49 p.m. with Restorative Nurse Assistant
(RNA) 1, Resident 30's RNA flowsheet for the August and September 2025 were reviewed. RNA 1
confirmed that Resident 30 only received PROM of BLE and LUE on 8/1, 8/4, 8/7, 8/11, 8/13, 8/15, 8/18,
8/20, 8/22, 8/26, 8/28, 9/1, and 9/4. The RNA 1 confirmed that Resident 30 did not get his exercises in
accordance with the ordered RNA program frequencies which were three times a week. RNA 1 stated the
RNA frequency order should have been followed. RNA 1 further stated there would be a risk for contracture
and decline in function if Resident 30's RNA program frequency was not followed.
During an interview on 9/10/25 at 3:16 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated
RNA program frequency should have been followed and there should have been documentation about why
the exercises were not done. The DSD further stated Resident 30 would be a risk for contracture and
weakness if the RNA program frequency was not followed.
During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that he
would expect that RNA program frequency would be followed. The DON further stated that the resident
would be at risk for decline in function if the RNA program frequency was not followed.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Restorative Program, revised 4/2019, indicated, The
Restorative Program focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental and psychological
functioning of the resident to attain/maintain each resident's highest practicable functioning. The
facilityprovides Restorative Programs to promote the resident s ability to adapt andadjust to living as
independently and safely as possible .2.Residents who receive restorative services have a care plan with
individualized, measurable goals and interventions .
Findings:
2. A review of Resident 23's clinical record indicated Resident 23 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses that
included multiple fractures (a medical condition where a bone breaks or cracks) of ribs, traumatic
pneumothorax (occurs when air enters the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall, due to
an injury), muscle weakness, history of falling, abnormalities of gait (gait refers to the pattern of walking,
including the sequence, rhythm, and speed of steps) and mobility (the ability to move or be moved freely
and easily).
A review of Resident 23's MDS Cognitive Patterns, dated 6/23/25, indicated Resident 23 had a BIMS score
of 15 out of 15 which indicated Resident 25 had intact cognition.
A review of Resident 23's MDS section GG Functional Abilities, dated 6/29/25, indicated Resident 23 was
unable to walk ten feet and used a walker (a mobility aid that provides support and stability for people who
have difficulty walking due to leg weakness, balance problems, or recovery from injury or surgery) or a
wheelchair (a chair fitted with wheels for use as a means of transport by a person who is unable to walk).
A review of Resident 23's RNA program referral, dated 7/22/25, written by Physical Therapist (PT) 1, PT 1
recommended, RNA for ambulation using FWW (front wheeled walker) approximately 150 ft or as tolerated,
QD (everyday), 3x/wk (3 times a week) with one person assist, to maintain functional levels.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident 23's care plan revealed no care plan was initiated for the RNA program.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 9/8/25 at 11 a.m. with Resident 23, Resident 23 stated she did not understand why
PT was not happening. Resident 23 stated she was told by PT 1 that insurance coverage for continued PT
was denied. Resident 23 stated it was not possible because she had insurance.
During an interview on 9/9/25 at 8:58 am with PT 1, PT 1 stated Resident 23 was discharged from the PT
program due to insurance coverage on 7/2/2025. PT 1 stated that Resident 23 reached PT goals and was
denied by insurance for further PT. PT 1 stated Resident 23 was notified. Resident 23 was referred to the
RNA program on 7/22/25. PT 1 stated the referral was placed on the RNA's desk. PT 1 stated the normal
process for RNA program referral is to place the referral on the RNA's desk if the RNA is working or put it in
the communication binder if the RNA is not working.
During an interview on 9/9/25 at 9:51 a.m. Social Service director (SSD), SSD confirmed Resident 23's last
day of insurance coverage was 7/3/25.
During an Interview on 9/9/25 at 11:55 am with RNA 1, RNA 1 stated they were not aware of the referral
and were notified by PT today, 9/9/25. RNA stated the usual process for RNA program referrals begins with
PT initiating the referral. PT places the referral on the RNA desk if she is working that day or places it in the
communication binder with the referral sticking up to indicate there is a new referral. RNA 1 stated the
referral is given to the nurse who is assigned to the resident. The nurse signs off on the referral and returns
it to the RNA signed and dated. The RNA implements the plan of care. RNA 1 confirmed the referral was
not seen and therefore was not implemented for Resident 23.
During an Interview on 9/9/25 at 12:19 PM with PT 1, PT 1 confirmed Resident 23 should have begun the
RNA treatment plan on the referral, dated 7/22/25.
During an interview on 9/9/25 at 12:48 p.m. with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1, TN 1 stated when an RNA
program referral is received, a Licensee Nurse (LN) enters it as an RNA order and then places it in a binder
at the nurse's station for the doctor or nurse practitioner (NP) to sign. TN 1 stated the order is immediately
available for the RNA to implement.
During an interview on 9/9/25 at 1:35 p.m. with the Administrator (Admin), the admin stated when
appropriate, residents are referred to the RNA program by PT and the RNA gives a copy of the referral to
the Admin and the DON. The administrator indicated they work closely with Resident 23 and was aware of
her being discharged from physical therapy and referred to RNA Program. Admin confirmed PT refers
residents to the RNA Program. The RNA gives the referral to a nurse to enter the order. Admin confirmed
the expectation was for the RNA to implement the plan once the order is entered.
Interview on 9/11/25 at 9 a.m. with the DON, the DON stated the process for RNA program referral starts
with the Physical Therapist giving the LN who is assigned to the resident the referral. The LN calls the
doctor to get the order, and the nurse inputs the order and initiates a care plan. The DON states the RNA
has no reason to be involved in the initial referral process and states the RNA is being used as the middle
person between the Physical Therapist and the LN. The DON states the RNA should implement the order
on the day the order is entered unless it is late in the day, the RNA will

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of 19 sampled
residents (Resident 2) was provided with appropriate care and services with enteral feeding (also referred
to as tube feeding/ feeding tube- the delivery of food and nutrients through a feeding tube directly into the
stomach or part of the intestines) when Resident 2's gastrostomy tube (G-tube- a tube that is placed
directly into the stomach through an abdominal wall incision for administration of food, fluids, and
medications) was not flushed with water before medication administration and enteral feeding.This failure
had the potential for Resident 2 to experience complications of the G-tube such as clogging and for the
resident not to attain his highest practicable well-being.Findings:A review of Resident 2's clinical record
indicated Resident 2 was admitted November of 2023 and had diagnoses that included encounter of
gastrostomy status, dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), and hemiplegia (complete loss of the ability to move
one side of the body).A review of Resident 2's active physician's order, dated 11/9/23, indicated, Resident
is capable of giving informed consent and/or able to participate in treatment plan.A review of Resident 2's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Swallowing/Nutritional Status,
dated 8/12/25, indicated Resident 2 has used a feeding tube while a resident in the facility.A review of
Resident 2's care plan, initiated 2/24/24, indicated, The resident [Resident 8] requires tube feeding (gtube)
r/t [related to] CVA [cerebrovascular accident/stroke- a condition that occurs when a blood vessel in the
brain becomes blocked or ruptures, cutting off blood flow to the brain] with Hemiplegia, Dysphagia . A
review of Resident 2's care plan intervention, dated 4/25/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube
with 30cc [cubic centimeter- unit of measurement] of water BEFORE and AFTER feedings .ENTERAL
FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 30cc of water BEFORE and AFTER medication administration AND flush with
5cc of water in between EACH medication given for prevention of tube clogging.A review of Resident 2's
active physician's order, dated 4/24/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 30cc of water
BEFORE and AFTER medication administration AND flush with 5cc of water in between EACH medication
given for prevention of tube clogging every shift.A review of Resident 2's active physician's order, dated
8/11/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 60ml [milliliter- unit of measurement] of water
BEFORE and AFTER feedings every 6 hours.During an observation on 9/9/25 at 12:16 p.m. with Licensed
Nurse (LN) 1, in Resident 2's room, LN 1 was observed doing Resident 8's tube feeding. LN 1 positioned
Resident 8 properly, checked Resident 8 feeding residual [left feeding formula] amount, and checked the
gastrostomy tube placement, but did not flush tube with water before starting medication administration and
enteral feeding. The flow of the medication and feeding formula was observed to be sluggish during the
procedure.During a subsequent interview on 9/9/25 at 1:03 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 confirmed that she did not
flush Resident 2's G-tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding. LN 1
stated she should have flushed the tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral
feeding. LN 1 further stated that it could cause the G-tube to clog if the tube was not flushed with water
before medication administration and enteral feeding.During an interview on 9/10/25 at 3:16 p.m. with the
Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated that the G-tube needed to be flushed with water
before starting medication administration and enteral feeding to make sure the tube was patent and to
prevent clogging.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:14 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of 19 sampled residents
(Resident 8) received appropriate pain management services consistent with professional standards of
practice, facility's policy and procedure (P&P), and physician's order when Resident 8's pain medication
order was not consistently followed.This failure had the potential for Resident 8 to develop medication
dependence (the inability of the individual to function normally in the absence of the drug), experience
unrelieved pain, and not attain her highest practicable well-being.Findings:A review of Resident 8's clinical
record indicated Resident 8 was admitted January of 2025 and had diagnoses that included arthritis (a
deteriorating disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling where two or more bones meet), muscle
spasm, and need for assistance with personal care. A review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a
federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated 7/22/25, indicated Resident 8 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition) score of 15 out of 15 which indicated
Resident 8 had an intact cognition (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of
Resident 8's MDS Health Conditions, dated 7/22/25, indicated Resident 8 received scheduled and as
needed pain medications and non-medication intervention for pain. During an interview on 9/8/25 at 10 a.m.
with Resident 8, in Resident 8's room, Resident 8 stated she frequently experiences pain, and she has high
pain tolerance. Resident 8 further stated the medications she was being given helps a little but was not

review of Resident 8's medication administration records (MAR- a daily documentation record used by a
licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) for the month of July and
August a 2025 indicated Resident 8 received 1 tablet of hydrocodone-acetaminophen which was indicated
for 4-7 levels of pain on the following occasions:7/3/25 at 3:15 p.m.- pain level was 87/5/25 at 12:46 a.m.pain level was 07/27/25 at 9:24 a.m.- pain level was 88/6/25 at 11:15 a.m.- pain level was 88/20/25 at 10:19

review on 9/10/25 at 1:58 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, Resident 8's clinical records were reviewed. LN
2 confirmed that Resident 8's pain medication orders were not consistently followed. LN 2 stated that
nurses should follow the physician's order when administering pain medication. LN 2 further stated it would
be a risk for controlled drug dependence and/or uncontrolled pain if the physician's order was not
followed.During an interview on 9/10/25 at 3:16 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated that nurses should always follow the physician's parameters when administering pain medications to
residents. The DSD also stated that it would be a risk for respiratory issues and controlled medication
dependence and/or unrelieved pain if the physician's order would not be followed.During an interview on
9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that she would expect that pain
medications should be given as ordered by the physician. The DON further stated

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure safe and effective pharmaceutical
services for a census of 55 residents when Resident 41 and Resident 47's controlled drug (drug with
potential for abuse) uses and removal signed out from the Controlled Drug Record (CDR- a paper log of
controlled drug removal for administration to resident) were not documented in their Medication
Administration Record (MAR-a legal document that list administered drugs).This failed practice may
contribute to unsafe controlled medication handling and/or risk of controlled drug diversion (unlawful
channeling of regulated pharmaceuticals from legal sources to the illicit marketplace).Findings:1a. A review
of Resident 41's clinical record indicated Resident 41 was admitted May of 2020 and had diagnoses that
included gout (a form of arthritis that causes severe pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in joints),
neuralgia (pain caused by irritation or damage to a nerve), and neuritis (inflammation of a nerve causing
pain).A review of Resident 41's active physician's order, dated 4/25/23, indicated, Resident is not capable
of giving informed consent and/or able to participate in treatment plan.A review of Resident 41's active
physician's order, dated 4/21/25, indicated, Norco Tablet [a medication for pain which contains a
combination of hydrocodone; a controlled pain medication, and Acetaminophen; a potent pain reliever]

8/25/25 at 9 a.m.1 tablet on 9/4/25 at 7:45 a.m.During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25
at 1:58 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, Resident 41 and Resident 47's's CDR and MAR were reviewed.
LN 2 confirmed the finding of Norco being signed out of Resident 41 and Resident 47's CDR but was not
accurately documented on the MAR. LN 2 stated that Norco administration should be both signed out in the
CDR and signed in the MAR.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 9:52 a.m. with the Consultant Pharmacist
(CP), the CP stated he would expect nurses to always sign off the CDR and MAR when administering
controlled medications. The CP further stated there would be a risk for controlled drug diversion or issues
like unsafe handling of controlled drugs if the CDR and MAR are not both signed.During an interview on
9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated he would expect the nurse to sign
both the CDR and MAR when administering controlled medications. The DON further stated once the nurse
pops the controlled medication in the pill cup, they should sign the CDR, then after administering the
medication, the nurse should sign the MAR.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Documentation of Medication Administration, revised 1/2025, indicated, 1. A nurse or certified medication
aide (where applicable) documents all medications administered to eachresident on the resident's

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure safe medication
administration practices were followed when the facility's medication error rate was more than 5%
(percentage- number or ratio that expressed as a fraction of 100) for a resident census of 55. Medication
administration observations were conducted over multiple days, at varied times, in random locations
throughout the facility. The facility had a total of three errors out of 36 opportunities which resulted in a
facility wide medication error rate of 8.33% in one out of 9 residents (Resident 32) observed for medication
administration.These failures had the potential for unsafe and ineffective medication use for Resident 32
and had the potential to negatively affect the residents' medical conditions.Findings:During a medication
administration observation which started on 9/8/25 at 10:54 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1
administered a total of six pills to Resident 32 which included 1 capsule of aspirin-dipyridamole (a
medication used to prevent stroke) ER (extended release) 25-200 mg (milligrams- unit of measurement), 1
capsule of docusate sodium (a medication utilized for managing and treating infrequent or difficult bowel
movements) 100 mg, and 1 tablet of buspirone (a prescription medication used to treat anxiety and/or
depression) 5 mg.A review of Resident 32's active physician's order, dated 6/30/25, indicated,
Aspirin-Dipyridamole ER Oral Capsule Extended Release 12 Hour 25-200 MG .Give 1 capsule by mouth
two times a day related to UNSPECIFIED SEQUELAE [a condition which is the consequence of a previous
disease or injury] OF CEREBRAL INFARCTION [damage to a part in the brain due to a disrupted blood

Capsule 100 MG .Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day for bowel management.A review of Resident
32's active physician's order, dated 7/15/25, indicated, busPIRone HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG .Give 1 tablet by
mouth two times a day for manifested by [sic] self isolation related to MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER,
RECURRENT [persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment
in daily life] .A review of Resident 32's medication administration records (MAR- a daily documentation
record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) for the month
of September 2025 indicated Resident 32's morning dose of aspirin-dipyridamole, docusate sodium, and
buspirone were all scheduled at 9 a.m.During a concurrent interview and medication order review on 9/8/25
at 2:32 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 acknowledged the observed medication administration of aspirin-dipyridamole,
docusate sodium, and buspirone to Resident 32 which were two hours after the scheduled time. LN 1
stated she was aware that the medications aware were administered late. LN 1 also stated she was
supposed to administer the medications an hour before or after the scheduled time of administration to
maintain therapeutic level (concentration of a medication in the body that is high enough to produce the
desired medical effect without causing significant side effects) of medication in the resident.During an
interview on 9/11/25 at 9:52 a.m. with the Consultant Pharmacist (CP), the CP stated nurses really need to
administer medication within that 1-hour before or after scheduled time frame. The CP further stated there
would be a risk that residents could not get the full effect of the medication, possible side effect issues, and
poor therapeutic level management.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated that nurses should always follow the facility's policy in administering
scheduled medication which was either 1 hour before or after the scheduled time.Requested the facility's
medication administration policies and procedures (P&P) discussing the timing of administering
medications but none was providedA review of the facility's policies and procedures titled, Medication

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pharmaceutical products were
properly handled and stored in accordance with the facility's policies and procedures (P&P), and accepted
professional principles for a census of 55 when:1. Multiple expired wound dressings (a material applied to a
wound to protect it, promote healing, and prevent infection) were stored in the treatment cart;2. An expired
medicated shampoo prescribed for a resident was stored in the treatment cart; and,3. An out of the
package syringe needle (injection needle) was found in the treatment cart.These failures had the potential
for residents to receive pharmaceutical products that were expired or with unsafe or reduced potency, and
risk for residents and/or staff injury and/or infection.Findings:1. During a concurrent observation and
interview which started on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m. with Treatment Nurse (TN) 2, of the facility's treatment cart,
five silicone wound dressing (a type of wound dressing used to manage wounds with discharges while also
helping to reduce scarring and provide pain-free dressing changes) with an expiration date of [DATE], and
six occlusive petrolatum gauze wound dressing (a type of wound dressings used to treating wounds such
as burns, by creating a moist, breathable, non-sticking environment that protects the wound, reduces pain
during changes, and promotes healing) with an expiration date of [DATE] were found stored in the
treatment cart. TN 2 confirmed the observation. TN 2 stated expired wound dressings should be discarded
and not be used because the wound dressings would have less effectiveness in treating wounds.2. During
a concurrent observation and interview which started on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m. with TN 2, of the facility's
treatment cart, a medicated shampoo prescribed for a resident with an expiration date of [DATE] was found
stored in the treatment cart. TN 2 confirmed the observation. TN 2 stated the expired shampoo should have
been discarded because the resident would be at risk for side effects and the treatment would not be as
effective as desired.3. During a concurrent observation and interview which started on [DATE] at 11:38 a.m.
with TN 2, of the facility's treatment cart, an out of the package syringe needle (injection needle) with a
needle cap on, was found in the treatment cart. TN 2 confirmed the observation. TN 2 stated they don't use
syringe needles in their treatments and was wondering why there was a syringe needle in the treatment
cart. TN 2 further stated the out of the package syringe needle should not be in the cart because of safety
issues.During an interview on [DATE] at 3:16 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated expired wound dressings, and medicated shampoo should not be stored in the treatment cart
because the wound dressing and shampoo would not be effective anymore. The DSD further stated the out
of the package syringe needle should not be in the treatment cart and they should have been discarded in
a sharp container to prevent staff or resident injury. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:49 a.m. with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated all expired wound dressings, and medicated shampoo should
be discarded because they would not be effective when used. The DON further stated an opened syringe

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adhere to resident's food preferences as listed
on their meal ticket for three of 14 sampled residents, Resident 32, Resident 4, and Resident 42 when:1.
Resident 32 was served pot roast, but her meal ticket indicated that she disliked meat; and 2. Resident 4
was served brussels sprouts that was on her list of food dislikes.3. Resident 42 was given polenta (side
dish made from cornmeal) with a documented corn allergy.These deficient practices had the potential for
Resident 32, Resident 4, and Resident 42 to refuse to eat, potentially leading to weight loss, worsened
medical conditions like slow wound healing, and a weakened immune system and for Resident 42 to have
an allergic reaction.Findings:
1. Resident 32 was admitted in the facility on 6/10/25 with diagnosis that included Hypertension (high blood
pressure) and Hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats in the blood).
A review of Resident 32's Minimum Date Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care) Section C Cognitive Patterns dated 6/21/25, Resident 32 had a score of 15, which indicated Resident 32's cognitive
level was intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 32 in the Dining room on 9/8/25 at 11:52 a.m.,
Resident 32 complained that they served her pot roast for lunch. Resident 32 stated I'm hungry, and that
she had told the staff in the past she didn't like to eat meat, but they still served meat to her. Licensed
Nurse 3 (LN 3) confirmed there was pot roast on Resident 32's plate. LN 3 further stated that Resident 32
doesn't like meat as indicated on her meal ticket, and the facility should respect Resident 32's food
preferences. LN 3 took Resident 32's plate back to the kitchen and while Resident 32 waited for LN 3 to
bring her food, Resident 32 watched other residents eat their meals.
2. Resident 4 was admitted in the facility on 4/19/21 with diagnoses that included Pressure Ulcer of Sacral
Region Stage 3, (located at the bottom of the spine, sores that are deep and may require surgery), Adult
Failure to Thrive (inability to sustain weight due to poor nutrition), and Gastro-Esophageal Reflux (stomach
contents leak backwards into the esophagus [food pipe]).
A review of Resident 4's MDS Section C - Cognitive Patterns dated 8/1/25, Resident 4 had a score of 15,
which indicated Resident 4's cognitive level was intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 4, and LN 3 inside Resident 4's room on
9/8/25 at 12:24 p.m., Resident 4 stated she didn't like brussels sprouts. LN 3 confirmed that Resident 4's
plate contained brussels sprouts, and it was listed on Resident 4's meal ticket that she disliked brussels
sprouts. LN 3 stated the facility should have followed resident's food preferences to avoid possible decline
in their health and quality of life.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/9/25 at 10:25 a.m., the DON stated that the
meal trays are being checked by the nurses before they are given to the residents to make sure the
residents' food matches what was indicated on the meal tickets. The DON further stated that they must
respect resident's food preferences to nourish their bodies and promote faster healing.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to enrich the caloric content of meals for five of
seven residents (Resident 3, Resident 4, Resident10, Resident 37 and Resident 42) with fortified
(increased calorie and/or protein content) dietary orders when the cook omitted the scoop of melted butter
intended for fortification. This failure had the potential to put these residents at risk for poor nutritional
status. Findings:A review of Resident 3's admission record indicated Resident 3 was admitted on [DATE]
with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis ( MS-a chronic, progressive disease involving damage to the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal cord). A review of Resident 3's physician (MD) orders indicated an order, dated
12/4/23, for a fortified diet. A review of Resident 4's admission record indicated Resident 4 was admitted on
[DATE] with a diagnosis of a Stage 3 pressure injury (Full thickness loss of skin, dead and black tissue may
be visible).A review of Resident 4's physician (MD) orders indicated an order, dated 4/19/21, for a fortified.A
review of Resident 10's admission record indicated Resident 10 was admitted on [DATE] with a primary
diagnosis of UTI (an infection in the bladder and urinary tract) and severe protein calorie malnutrition.A
review of Resident 10's physician orders indicated an order, dated 1/27/25, for a fortified diet.A review of
Resident 37's admission record indicated Resident 37 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of
Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and
slow imprecise movements) and Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). A review of Resident 37's physician (MD)
orders indicated an order, dated 12/25/24, for a fortified diet.A review of Resident 42's admission record
indicated Resident 42 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS-a chronic,
progressive disease involving damage to the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord). A review of Resident
42's physician (MD) records indicated an order, dated 3/21/23, for a fortified diet.During an observation on
9/9/25 beginning at 11:34 a.m. in the kitchen of the lunch tray line, [NAME] 2 was plating resident meals.
Several residents were noted to have an indication for a fortified meal on their tray tickets and no additional
calories were observed to have been added to meals. At 11:58 a.m. [NAME] 2 looked up at the surveyor
and acknowledged the current omission and added a scoop of melted butter to the plate. [NAME] 2 did not
check to see if they had missed other fortified diet meals prior to their realization. During an interview on
9/9/25 with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) at 4:00 p.m., the DS confirmed several residents had not received
their fortified meals today and explained melted butter was usually added to the meal for extra calories. The
DS stated, without the diet fortification the residents were at risk of not getting the extra nutrition they
needed. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Fortification of Food: Increasing Calories
and/or Protein in the Diet, the P&P indicated the enrichment of foods will be done on an individual basis for
residents who cannot consume adequate amounts of calories and/or protein to sustain their weight or
nutrition status.

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 store, prepare, distribute, serve
food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when:1. Four steamtable pans were
found wet, stacked in the ready to use shelves. 2. One cook failed to follow food safety/sanitation
procedures while preparing cooked ready to eat foods.3. One diet aide was observed putting a clean and
sanitized dish rack on the kitchen floor.These failures had the potential to lead to food borne illness for the
51 residents eating facility prepared meals.Findings:1) During an observation of the initial kitchen tour on
9/8/25 at 8:57 a.m., four steamtable pans were observed to be stacked wet (wet nesting) on the bottom
shelves in the food preparation area, which indicated they were ready to use. During an interview, on 9/8/25
at 9:22 a.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated that wet nesting is not desirable. The DS
confirmed the observation of the wet trays and instructed the dishwasher to re-wash them. During a review
of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Sanitation, dated 2023, the P&P indicated, The Food and
Nutrition Services Director is responsible for instructing employees in the fundamentals of sanitation in food
service and for training employees to use appropriate techniques.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

cooked ready to eat beef roast in a bag had been placed in the sink next to the cook.During a concurrent
observation and interview, on 9/8/25 at 9:02 a.m. with the cook, the cook stated that the roast was already
cooked, and it is in a sealed bag. During an interview with the DS on 9/8/25 at 4 p.m., the DS stated that
the cook should have placed the cooked roast package in a bowl on the counter and that the cooked roast
had the potential for food borne illness to the residents. During an interview with the Registered Dietician
(RD) on 9/9/25 at 10:05 a.m., the RD stated that the DS had stopped by to talk to him about the cooked
roast in the sink. The RD confirmed the potential for contamination of wrapped food in the sink risking cross
contamination and that cooked/ready to eat food cannot be placed in the sink.During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Food Borne Illness Outbreak, dated 2023, the P&P indicated,

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 follow and maintain an effective infection
prevention and control program for a census of 55 when:1. A shared manual blood pressure machine (a
device which measures blood pressure), a shared stethoscope (a device used to listen to the body's
internal sounds), and a shared pulse oximeter (a medical device that measures the pulse rate and oxygen
level in the blood) was not sanitized properly in between use of residents.2. One facility staff did not remove
or properly cover a bracelet under personal protective equipment (PPE) while performing wound care for
Resident 25.3. Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP, an infection control intervention that utilizes the use of
gowns and gloves during direct care activities to reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms)
guidelines were not followed for Res 5 and Res 53.These failures had the potential to spread germs and
cause infection for a census of 55. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 10:33 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1 was observed checking
a resident's blood pressure using a manual blood pressure machine and stethoscope, and the resident's
pulse rate using a pulse oximeter which were all shared between residents. LN 1 wrapped the manual
blood pressure machine on the resident's upper arm and used the stethoscope to check for the resident's
blood pressure. LN 1 then placed the pulse oximeter on one of the resident's fingertips and waited for about
a minute to read the results. After reading the results, LN 1 went out the room, wiped the shared manual
blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter using a wipe of [Brand name] GERMICIDAL
DISPOSABLE WIPE quickly (approximately 5-10 seconds each) to clean the blood pressure machine,
stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces, then placed the three items on top of the medication cart
to let it dry.
During another observation on 9/8/25 at 10:44 a.m., with LN 1, LN 1 was observed checking a resident's
blood pressure using a manual blood pressure machine and stethoscope, and the resident's pulse rate
using a pulse oximeter which were all shared between residents. LN 1 wrapped the manual blood pressure
machine on the resident's upper arm and used the stethoscope to check for the resident's blood pressure.
LN 1 then placed the pulse oximeter on one of the resident's pointing fingertips and waited for about a
minute to read the results. After reading the results, LN 1 went out the room, wiped the shared manual
blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter using a wipe each of [Brand name]
GERMICIDAL DISPOSABLE WIPE quickly (approximately 5-10 seconds each) to clean the blood pressure
machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces, then placed the three equipment on top of the
medication cart to let it dry.
During an interview on 9/8/25 at 2:32 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 confirmed the two subsequent observations of
her cleaning the shared blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces quickly
(approximately 5-10 seconds each) in between use of residents. LN 1 stated the shared blood pressure
machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter should have been wiped for two (2) minutes each to disinfect the
three pieces of equipment properly and prevent cross contamination between residents.
During an interview on 9/11/25 at 9:25 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that the
facility's shared blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter should be disinfect properly
every after each resident's use to prevent the risk of infection. The IP further stated that nurses should
follow the manufacturer's guidelines of the purple top wipe (germicidal disposable wipe) when sanitizing a
shared equipment which was to wipe it, and it should remain visibly wet for two (2) minutes.

DEODORIZE HARD, NONPOROUS SURFACES: .Unfold a clean wipe and thoroughly wet surface. Allow
surface to remain wet for two (2) minutes. Let air dry .
2. A review of Resident 25's clinical record indicated Resident 25 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses that
included surgical aftercare following surgery on the skin and subcutaneous tissue (a layer of loose
connective tissue [supports, protects, joins, and provides structure to other tissues and organs, storing fat,
and facilitating nutrient transport], located beneath the skin. Hidradenitis Suppurativa (a chronic,
inflammatory condition that causes painful, recurring lumps and abscesses), Sick Sinus Syndrome (a
condition where the heart's natural pacemaker, known as the sinus node, does not function properly).
Cardiac Pacemaker (a small, implantable device that helps regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical
pulses). Sepsis (a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an
infection, leading to widespread inflammation and organ damage).
A review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
Cognitive Patterns, dated 2/22/24, indicated Resident 25 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a
tool to assess cognition) score of 15 out of 15 which indicated Resident 25 had intact cognition.
A review of Resident 25's active order, dated 8/6/25, indicated, Lt buttocks surgical site: Cleanse with
Dakin's (a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution used to clean and disinfect wounds such as cuts, burns, and
diabetic foot ulcers to prevent or treat infection and promote healing), pat dry, apply Santyl (the brand name
for collagenase, a prescription ointment that removes dead tissue from chronic skin ulcers and severely
burned areas. It is a debriding (a medical procedure that involves removing dead or infected tissue from a
wound) agent that helps clean the wound and facilitate healing) + gauze and cover with abd (Army Battle
Dressing) pad and tape. Every day shift for wound healing.
During an observation on 9/9/25 at 1:58 p.m. in Resident 25's room, Treatment Nurse (TN) 1 performed
Resident 25's daily surgical wound dressing change. TN 1 sanitized hands, applied a gown and non-sterile
gloves, set up the bedside table with dressing supplies and trash bag and informed Resident 25 of the
dressing change to be performed. TN 1 addressed Resident 25's pain level after medicating Resident 25
before planned wound change. TN 1 washed hands in bathroom sink and re-gloved and placed a chux (a
disposable bed pad used for absorbing liquids) under dressing area, removed tape, changed gloves,
removed gauze, changed gloves. TN 1 saturated clean gauze with Dakin's solution and wiped the wound,
patted dry with clean dry gauze and applied Santyl. TN 1 dressed the wound with dry gauze covered with
abd gauze and taped. During the wound cleansing, TN 1's bracelet slipped down arm and was visible on
the outside of the glove and gown of right wrist. TN 1's bracelet touched the wound when TN 1 was wiping
the wound with the gauze. TN 1continued to dress the wound. TN 1 changed gloves and cleaned the
workspace. TN 1 de-gloved and de-gowned in the room and sanitized hands with hand sanitizer.

In a review of the facility's policy and procedure, titled Enhanced Barrier Precaution Policy, revised 1/2025,
the P&P indicated, It is the policy of this facility that Enhanced Barrier Precautions, in addition to Standard
and Contact Precautions will be implemented during high-contact resident care activities when caring for
residents that have an increased risk for acquiring a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO).
4. A review of Resident 5's admission record indicated that Resident 5 was initially admitted on [DATE] and
returned on 8/12/25 after hospitalization for Sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection). Resident 5 was on
Dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the
kidneys have failed) and had a Stage 4 pressure injury (Full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed
muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone).
A review of Resident 5's active orders indicated that he was placed on EBP on 8/13/25 for Dialysis Access
Site and wound treatment.
During an observation on 9/8/25 at 11:35 am, CNA 3 was seen changing Resident 5's pillowcases without
wearing a gown. A sign was present outside of Resident 5's room indicating that Resident 5 and his
roommate were both on EBP.
During an interview on 9/8/25 with CNA 3 at 11:42 am outside of Resident 5's room, CNA 3 confirmed that
both Resident 5 and his roommate were on EBP. CNA 3 confirmed she only put on gloves and not a gown
because changing pillowcases was not considered direct contact.
During an interview on 9/11/25 with the DON, the DON stated, If a resident is on EBP it means staff must
wear PPE (personal protective equipment used to prevent the spread of infection) for direct care, gloves,
gown and mask if indicated. Changing linens is considered direct care, it's on the sign and the resident has
contact with the sheets. Precautions are there to protect both residents and staff.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions Policy, last reviewed in 2024, indicated
that changing linens is considered a high contact resident care activity, and that a gown and gloves must be
worn when changing linens.
