Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote dignity and respect for three (3) of 18
residents (Residents 10, 244, and 58) as indicated on the facility's policy when facility staff labeled
Residents 10, 244, and 58 as feeders during dining observation on 1/27/2025.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident Residents 10, 244, and 58's sense of self-worth
and self-esteem which could result in problems with emotional and mental well-being.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 10's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 15 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re- admitted on [DATE]. Resident 15's diagnoses included metabolic
encephalopathy (ME, occurs when problems with your metabolism cause brain dysfunction), diabetes
mellitus (DM, is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels), dementia
(impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), and
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/25/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 10 has severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) in toileting
hygiene, toilet transfer, and tub/ shower transfer. Resident 10 needed partial/ moderate assistance (helper
does less than half the effort, helper lifts, hold, or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the
effort) in eating, oral hygiene, and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation in the dining room on 1/27/2025 at 11:57 AM, Resident 10 finished eating
a bowl of porridge. Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) was sitting next to the residents. CNA 3 stated,
Resident (Resident 10) wants to go and eat in her room with a family member. She is a feeder.
During an interview with CNA 1 at 1/27/2025 at 12:20 PM, CNA 1 stated, We do not call residents feeders
when they need feeding assistance.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/28/2025 at 1:55 PM, the DON stated, The staff
should not call residents who are dependent, and needing feeding assistance as feeders because of
resident's dignity.

representative was informed in advance of the treatment risks and benefits, options, and alternatives by a
physician or other practitioner or professional for the use of antipsychotic medication (a class of drugs used
to treat mental health conditions characterized by psychosis [mental health condition characterized by a
loss of contact with reality], such as schizophrenia [a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in
thought ] and bipolar disorder [extreme mood swings that include mania {emotional highs} and depression {
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest } which may lead to impaired
functioning]) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 14).
Residents Affected - Few

with swallowing problems) twice a day for psychosis manifested by striking out without any reason and
hitting with fist during care pinching episodes.
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/19/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 14 was severely impaired with cognitive skills for daily decision making.
During a review of Resident 14's medical record, the medical records did not have an informed consent
(voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks,
benefits, and alternatives offered) obtained from Resident 14 or Resident 14's representative prior to the

During a review of Resident 54's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 54 had severely impaired
cognitive skills for daily decision making and was dependent with eating, oral/toileting/personal hygiene,
showering/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear.
During a review of Resident 54's Care Plan addressing impaired communication related to aphasia (loss of
ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage), revised on 9/12/2024, the Care Plan
included interventions to check resident frequently to monitor her needs, comfort, safety, and to observe
resident for non-verbal cues such as gestures and facial expressions.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2025 at 12:37 PM, inside Residents 18 and 54's
room, with the Maintenance Assistant (MA), the MA measured the room temperature using the facility's
laser thermometer. Residents 18 and 54's room temperature reading was 86°F. The MA stated the
room was too hot.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 9:33 AM with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), RN 1 stated the rooms
should be within comfortable temperature levels. RN 1 stated it was important to keep the residents
comfortable and prevent harm such as dehydration and hyperthermia, especially the residents that cannot
speak or verbalize if the room was too cold or hot.

undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Homelike Environment, revised February 2021 and Air
Temperature Readings, were reviewed. The MA stated room temperature of 86 °F was out of range
and the acceptable range for the temperature was 71-81°F according to the policy. The MA stated that
routine checks of ambient air temperatures are not required and/or may check as needed according to the
policy but both him and the MS check the temperatures of all the resident rooms daily and record the
reading in the temperature log. The MA stated it was not okay as the residents can become sick if the
rooms were too cold or too hot.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Homelike Environment, revised February 2021, the P&P
indicated the facility will ensure residents were provided with a safe, comfortable, and homelike
environment. the policy further stated that the comfortable and safe temperatures was 71 °F - 81

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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 accurate assessment of the Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a resident assessment tool) for one (1) of three (3) sampled residents (Resident 84) by failing to
include the resident's correct discharge status.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in the facility's inaccurate MDS and care screening tool reporting to the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 84's Physician's Orders, dated 12/12/2024, the Physician's Orders indicated
Resident 84 will be discharged home on [DATE] with home health.
During a review of Resident 84's Notice of Transfer/Discharge form, dated 12/13/2024, the Notice of
Transfer/Discharge indicated that Resident 84 was discharged to home.
During a review of Resident 84's Post Discharge Plan of Care, dated 12/13/2024, the Post Discharge Plan
of Care indicated Resident 84 was discharged /transferred to home on [DATE].
During a review of Resident 84's Physician's Discharge summary, dated [DATE], the Physician's Discharge
Summary indicated Resident 84 was discharged to home on [DATE] because Resident's 84 health
conditions have improved.
During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 2:37 PM with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated, she
documented and transmitted Resident 84's MDS discharge status on 12/27/2024. The MDS discharge
status reflected Resident 84 was discharged to the short-term general hospital, instead of home under care
of organized home health service organization. The MDSC also stated she realized she made a mistake
completing the MDS discharge status and thought it was for the MDS admission status. MDSC stated the
potential outcome for the inaccurate assessment of the MDS discharge status will impact the facility's
quality of care reporting for the discharge section.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Assessments, revised on
3/2022, the P&P indicated, the resident assessment coordinator is responsible for the appropriate resident
assessments and reviews .for admission, quarterly, annual, significant change in status, significant
correction to prior comprehensive, and discharge assessments.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the completion and implementation of
the baseline care plan within 48 hours of the resident's admission for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 14).
This failure had the potential to affect Resident 14's health and safety by not promoting continuity of care
and communication among the nursing home staff regarding the initial plan for delivery of care and
services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 14 was
admitted on dated 11/15/2024. Resident 14's diagnoses included dementia (a general term for a group of
brain disorders that cause a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and
judgment), psychotic disturbance (also known as psychosis [mental health condition characterized by a
loss of contact with reality]), and mood disturbance.
During a review of Resident 14's physician order, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated Seroquel
25 (an antipsychotic medication) milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) will be administered twice a day
for psychosis manifested by striking out without any reason and hitting with fist during care pinching
episodes.
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/19/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 14 is with severe impairment of cognitive (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making.
During a review of the Resident 14's medical record, it did not contain the baseline care plan for Resident
14's antipsychotic medication use as indicated on the physician's order.
During an interview on 1/28/2025 at 1:00 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), LVN 4 stated that
Resident 14's antipsychotic medication baseline care plan should be started once the resident was
admitted on [DATE] from the hospital.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 10:06 AM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated, Resident 14's antipsychotic
medication baseline care plan should be signed by the admitting Registered Nurse (RN), should be done
within 14 to 30 days from admission, and should be always kept in the resident's chart. The potential
outcome for not having the baseline care plan in the chart is affecting the resident's quality of care.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of 18 sampled residents
(Resident 15 and 73) were provided and were using a communication board (a sheet of symbols, pictures
or photos that the resident can point to, to communicate with the staff) when the resident needed
assistance.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for a delay in the necessary care and services for Resident 15 and
73.
Findings:
1.During a review of Resident 15 admission Record, the admission Record indicated resident was originally
admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of muscle wasting and
atrophy and fracture of second lumbar vertebra (point of the spinal cord [bundle of nerves and tissues]).
During a review of Resident 15 Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2024,
the MDS indicated resident was moderately impaired with cognitive (the ability to understand and make
decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 15 was able to make
self-understood and has the ability to understand others. The MDS also indicated Resident 15 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the
assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with oral hygiene,
toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off
footwear, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan, dated 12/12/2024, with focus on impaired communication, the
care plan indicated to use a communication board as needed.
During an observation on 1/29/2025 at 1:32 PM, Resident was observed speaking in a Non-English
language complaining about pain and had asked Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA2) and Licensed
Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) for assistance, but the staff did not understand the resident.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/29/2025 at 1:38 PM, LVN 3 stated Resident 15 had a
communication board that was hidden in between the bed and the bedside table. LVN 3 stated that the
communication board was not but should have been used to help Resident 15 to communicate her needs
to the staff.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 8:56 AM, Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated it is important for the
resident to use a communication board as it helps the resident communicate their needs to the staff.
2. During a review of Resident 73's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 73 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of hypotension (low blood pressure) and Parkinson's
disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow,
imprecise movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people).

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed ensure the low air loss mattress (LAL, mattress
used for residents who are at risk for developing sores or already have pressure ulcer designed to circulate
a constant flow of air for the management of pressure sores) was on the correct settings for one (1) of 1
sampled residents (Residents 15), in accordance with the facility's Pressure Injury (painful wound caused
as a result of pressure or friction) policy and procedure (P&P).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 15 to have worsening stage 4 pressure ulcer
(Full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, or bone) which can
negatively affect resident's overall well-being.)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 15 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re- admitted on [DATE]. Resident 15's diagnoses included sick sinus
syndrome (SSS, is a disease in which the heart's natural pacemaker located in the upper right heart
chamber [right atrium] becomes damaged and is no longer able to generate normal heartbeats at the
normal rate, muscle wasting/ atrophy (decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue) and stage 4 pressure
ulcer of the left buttock.
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 15 has moderately impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 15 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) in oral
hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear, personal
hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of the bed, chair/bed-to chair transfer, toilet
transfer, and tub/ shower transfer.
During a review of Resident 15's Physician's Order, dated 12/7/2024, the physician's order indicated LAL
Mattress therapy bed for wound management.
During a review of Resident 15's Braden Scale (a standardized, evidence-based assessment tool
commonly used in health care to assess and document a client's risk for developing pressure injuries),
dated 12/29/2024, the Braden Scale indicated Resident 15 has a total score of 10, which indicated
Resident 15 was high risk for skin breakdown.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 15's room and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) on 1/28/2025 at 2:25 PM, Resident 15 was observed in bed with the LAL set at 180 millimeters of
mercury (mmHg, unit of pressure). LVN 2 stated, LAL was set incorrectly. Resident's (Resident 15) weight
was 124 pounds (lbs., unit of measure) LAL should be set based on the resident's weight. It will not be
effective with the resident's (Resident 15) wound management.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 15's room and interview with LVN 3 on 1/29/2025 at 9:29 AM,
Resident 15 was observed in bed with the LAL set at 140 mmHg. LVN 3 stated, Resident's (Resident 15)
weight was 124 lbs., and LAL was set on 140 mmHg which is incorrect. It should be set at 130 mmHg. If
LAL was set up incorrectly, it will not help with the resident's (Resident 15) wound management.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to keep the foley catheter bag (bag that collects
urine that drains through the urinary catheter [a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect
urine]) below the level of the bladder for one of two sampled residents (Resident 15), in accordance with
the facility's policy.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 15 to develop urinary tract infection (UTI - an infection
in the bladder/urinary tract) due to urine back flow.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 15 admission Record, the admission Record indicated resident was originally
admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of muscle wasting and
atrophy and fracture of second lumbar vertebra (point of the spinal cord [bundle of nerves and tissues]).
During a review of Resident 15 Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2024,
the MDS indicated resident was moderately impaired with cognitive (the ability to understand and make
decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 15 was dependent (Helper
does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of 2 or more
helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal
hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 15 had an indwelling catheter (a flexible tube used to empty the
bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag).
During a review of Resident 15's Physician Orders, dated 12/7/2024, the Physician Orders indicated foley
catheter (drains urine from the bladder into a collection bag) 17 French (Fr - unit of measure)/ 10 cubic
centimeters (cc - unit of measure) to continue drainage for urinary retention (unable to empty all the urine
from the bladder) and wound management every shift.
During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan with focus on catheter related to urinary retention, revised
12/8/2024, the Care Plan indicated the goal of adequate catheter care.
During an observation on 1/29/2025 at 1:32 PM during peri-care (cleaning the private areas of the resident)
in Resident 15's room, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2)
moved Resident 15's foley catheter bag from the side of the bed (below the level of the bladder) to the foot
of the bed and on top of blankets (above the level of the bladder).
During an observation on 1/29/2025 at 2PM in Resident 15's room, CNA 2 was observed holding Resident
15's foley catheter bag above the level of the bladder while untangling it. Urine was observed flowing back
to the resident.
During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 2:09 PM in Resident 15's room, LVN 3 stated Resident 15's foley

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. During a
review of Resident 73's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 73 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of hypotension (low blood pressure) and Parkinson's disease (a
progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise
movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 73's MDS, dated [DATE], the record indicated Resident 73's cognitive skills for
daily decision making were moderate impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 73 was dependent (helper
does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) for toileting hygiene,
shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, sit to lying, and sit to stand. The MDS indicated Resident 73 was
on oxygen therapy.
During a review of Resident 73's Physician's Order Summary Report, dated 2/3/2025, the record indicated
oxygen administration 2 l/minute via NC PRN (as needed) to maintain oxygen saturation (SpO2, amount of
oxygen in the blood or how well a resident is breathing) at 92 %.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2025 at 8:27 AM in Resident 73's room with
Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA2), CNA 2 stated the oxygen tubing was labeled on 12/24/2024 and was
not placed in the plastic bag to protect it from dust. CNA 2 stated she would notify charge nurse to change
it.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2025 at 4:15 PM in Resident 73's room with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated the oxygen tubing was labeled on 12/24/2024. LVN 1
stated the label indicated that the tubing was last changed on 12/24/2024 (tubing used 37 days). LVN 1
stated staff were supposed to change the oxygen tubing every Tuesday (7 days). LVN stated Resident 73
might inhale some particles in the oxygen tubing which could irritate Resident 73's airway and lead to
respiratory infection.
During an interview on 1/30/2024 at 10:12 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated oxygen
tubing used to deliver oxygen should be changed weekly. The DON added oxygen tubing should be stored
in a plastic bag at the resident's bedside to protect the equipment from dust and dirt when not in use.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Oxygen Administration, revised dated October 2010, the P&P
indicated that the facility was to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration and changed oxygen
tubing weekly.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary respiratory
care services for three (3) of 3 sampled residents (Resident 15, Resident 71, and Resident 73) by failing to
ensure:
1. Resident 15's nasal cannula (NC - a small plastic tube, which fits into the person's nostrils for providing
supplemental oxygen) was in the resident's nostrils while receiving oxygen.
2. To follow Resident 71's physician orders for oxygen use.
This deficient practice placed Resident 15 and Resident 71 at risk for experiencing complications

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food that accommodated resident's
preference was provided for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 9).
This deficient practice had the potential for resident's poor meal intake which could lead to weight loss.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 9's admission Record, the admission Record indicated resident was admitted
on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and dementia (a progressive
state of decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 9's Physician Orders, dated 11/25/2024, the Physician Orders indicated low
sodium, low fat and low cholesterol diet dysphagia pureed (a smooth, creamy substance made of liquidized
food) meat and vegetables with lunch and dinner with thin liquids (liquid that is thin and easy to pour such

observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure meal trays were served timely for two
(2) of 2 sampled residents (Residents 287 and 38) when Resident 287 and Resident 38 were served lunch
at 12:45 PM and 12:47 PM respectively.
This deficient practice resulted in residents receiving meals late and had the potential to negatively affect
the psychosocial wellbeing of the residents.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 287's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 287 on 1/8/2025 with diagnoses that included but not limited to colon cancer (cancerous
tumor that develops in the colon), presence of gastrostomy (surgical opening fitted with a device to allow
feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems) and
colostomy (a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdomen to divert stool away from the colon
or rectum. This opening, called a stoma, is where a bag is placed to collect waste).
During a review of Resident 287's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 287 had intact cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated
Resident 287 required set up or clean up assistance (Helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes
activity. Helper assists only prior to or following the activity) with eating. The MDS also indicated Resident
287 required partial/moderate assistance (Helper does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or
supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) with oral and personal hygiene, shower/bathe
self, upper and lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident
287 required substantial/maximal assistance (Helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds
trunk or limbs and provide more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene.
During an observation on 1/27/2025 at 12:09 PM, in Resident 287's room, resident was observed asleep
and no lunch tray on the table.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2025 at 12:30 PM in Resident 287's room, resident
was observed awake. Resident 287 stated she was hungry and thought the staff had forgotten to bring her
lunch tray.
During an observation on 1/27/2025 at 12:45 PM, in Resident 287's room, lunch tray was on the resident's
table and resident was preparing to eat.
2. During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 38 on 4/26/2021 with diagnoses that included but not limited to cellulitis (bacterial skin infection)
of left lower leg, type II type 2 diabetes mellitus (a medication condition characterized by the body's inability
to regulate blood sugar level), and major depression (a common and serious medical illness that negatively
affects how the person feels, the way they think and how they act).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
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 food handling
practices in accordance with its policy and procedure by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Label food in the preparation area, refrigerators, and freezers in the kitchen with item name, and date
opened.
2. Ensure kitchen equipment and kitchen surfaces were clean and free of food debris.
3. Ensure trash bins were not placed next to the clean serving trays.
4. Ensure dietary staff (Cook 1 and [NAME] 2) perform hand hygiene (is the act of cleaning the hands with
soap or handwash and water to remove viruses/bacteria/microorganisms, dirt, grease, or other harmful and
unwanted substances stuck to the hands) and change gloves during cooking and tray line assembly.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in pathogen (germ) exposure to residents, which could
place the residents at risk for developing foodborne illness ([food poisoning] with symptoms including upset
stomach, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever) and can lead to other serious medical
complications and hospitalization.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the nurses were
documenting the complete orthostatic blood pressure (the measurement of blood pressure when a person
stands up from a sitting or lying position) for the lying position for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident
14).
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 14's orthostatic BP lying a risk for fall incident from
hypotension (a medical condition characterized by abnormally low blood pressure) or from dizziness.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 14 was
admitted on dated 11/15/2024. Resident 14's diagnoses included dementia (a general term for a group of
brain disorders that cause a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, and
judgment), psychotic disturbance (also known as psychosis [mental health condition characterized by a
loss of contact with reality]), and mood disturbance.
During a review of Resident 14's physician order, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated Seroquel
25 (an antipsychotic medication) milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement) to be administered twice a day for
psychosis manifested by striking out without any reason and hitting with fist during care pinching episodes.
During a review of Resident 14's physician's orders, dated 11/15/2024, the physician order indicated to
monitor Resident 14's blood pressure (BP), sitting and lying, every Sunday while on Seroquel.
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/19/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 14 is with severe impairment of cognitive (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making.
During a review of Resident 14's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 12/2024 to 1/2025, the
MAR indicated Resident 14's BP in the lying position:
Date: BP:
12/1/2024 - Not applicable (N/A).

During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 11:04 AM with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) RN 1 stated, the facility's
process is to follow the physician's order and document the resident's BP. If the nurses are unable to do it,
they must document a reason in the progress notes. The potential outcome for not checking Resident 14's
orthostatic BP will contribute to Resident 14 risk for fall and injury.
During an interview on 1/30/2025 at 10:06 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated, the
LVNs document the BP in the resident's medical record. If unable to do it, they must document in the
progress note so the physician could modify the dose of the medication. The potential outcome for not
checking Resident 14's orthostatic BP will put Resident 14 at risk for fall.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, last revised
on 7/2022, the P&P indicated, nursing staff will observe, document, and report to the resident's attending
physician information regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, monitoring, and reporting adverse
effects/side effects of antipsychotic medications.

decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 15 was dependent (Helper
does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of 2 or more
helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal
hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 15 had an indwelling catheter (a flexible tube used to empty the
bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag).
During an observation on 1/29/2025 at 1:45 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) was observed
providing peri-care to Resident 15. CNA 2 was also observed not changing the gloves and not performing
hand hygiene after providing peri-care for the resident. CNA2 was observed using the same gloves CNA 2
touched Resident 15's clean bed pad and bed sheets while changing the bed pad and fixing the bed
sheets.
During an interview on 1/29/25 at 2 PM, CNA 2 stated she should have removed her gloves, performed
hand hygiene and changed gloves prior to touching Resident 15's bed pad and bed sheets to prevent the
spread of infection.
During an interview on 1/29/2025 at 2:45 PM, Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) stated CNA 2 should
have removed her gloves, perform hand hygiene and put on new gloves. IPN also stated CNA 2 should not
have touched the bed pad and the bed sheets after providing peri-care to a resident because it can spread
infection.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised
8/2019, the P&P indicated to perform hand hygiene after contact with blood or bodily fluids, and before
moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care. The P&P also indicated the
use of gloves does not replace hand washing/hand hygiene. Integration of glove use along with routine
hand hygiene is recognized as the best practice for preventing healthcare-associated infections.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary
and comfortable environment by failing to ensure there was no water leak in the kitchen ceiling from
1/26/2025 to 1/27/2025.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in unsafe and non-functional kitchen.
Findings:
During an initial observation in the kitchen on 1/27/2025 at 7:48 AM, there were moderate amount of water
on the floor near the dishwashing area. There was a wet/dry vacuum (a specialized piece of cleaning
equipment designed to handle both wet and dry debris pickup) in the middle of the area and suctioning
water from the floor. There were rolled bed sheets placed on the floor surrounding the puddle of water t.
During a concurrent observation in the kitchen and interview with Dietary Supervisor (DTS) on 1/27/2025 at
8:23 AM, DTS stated, there is a puddle of water on the floor near the dishwashing area and it is coming
form the leak from the ceiling.
During an interview with Maintenance Supervisor (MTS) on 1/27/2025 at 12:41 PM, MTS stated, the metal
duct for the ventilation in between the roof and the ceiling has a hole at the bottom. The metal duct has
collected water from the rain last night, and it was the source of the water leak from the ceiling.
During an interview with the DTS on 1/29/2025 at 11:10 AM, DTS stated, the water leak was reported by
my staff on Sunday (1/26/2025) night. I do not think the maintenance staff checked the building last Friday
(1/24/2025). We usually do not know if maintenance made rounds. It is not okay to have water leaks
because if that happens, we cannot use the kitchen.
During an interview with Maintenance Assistant (MTA) on 1/30/2025 at 10:28 AM, MTA stated, I was
informed by the MTS about the water leak in the kitchen ceiling, Monday morning. There was leaking water
coming down from the ceiling when I inspected the kitchen last Monday around 8AM.
During an interview with MTA on, 1/30/2025 at 10:30 AM, MTA stated, Food contamination is possible in the
kitchen from the water leak. If that happens, there will be no food for the residents.
During an interview with MTS on 1/30/2025 at 10:54 AM, MTS stated, if it rained really hard and the ceiling
has water leaking, the kitchen might get flooded, and the facility would not be able to use the kitchen and
therefore no food will be served for the residents.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Maintenance Service, revised 12/2009, indicated
the maintenance department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe
and operable manner at all times. Functions of maintenance personnel include but are not limited to
maintaining the building in good repair and free from hazards.
