What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0628 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to notify the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman (an independent official who assist residents in long-term care facilities with issues related to day-to-day care, health, safety, and personal preference) of the transfer or discharge for one of one resident sample resident (Resident 2) when Resident 2 was transferred to acute care hospital and discharged from the facility.This failure had the potential for Resident 2 not receiving due process and protection against improper discharge. During a record review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR - a summary of information regarding a patient which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), dated 10/1/24, the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (when the blood sugar levels in the body are too high), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) chronic atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm lasting more than a week), chronic kidney disease (a gradual loss of kidney function where the kidneys cannot filter the blood as they should), and essential (primary) hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure [the amount of force the heart uses to pump blood through the arteries] that is not the result of a medical condition). Resident was discharged on 1/26/26. During an interview on 2/6/26 at 4:22 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 2 was transferred to acute hospital due to a significant change in health condition on 1/26/26. The DON stated, she discharged Resident 2 today (2/6/26) and packed all her belongings. The DON stated she failed to notify the Ombudsman regarding Resident 2's transfer and discharge. The DON stated it is in regulation to notify the Long-Term Care Ombudsman for resident transfers and discharges to be aware of where the resident was transferred or discharged to. The DON stated the facility must comply with the regulation to ensure residents are safe. During a review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Transfer and Discharge Notices, dated 3/2025, the P&P indicated Residents (or resident representatives) are notified of an impending transfer or discharge and the reasons for the move in writing and in a language and manner they understand. A copy of the notice is sent to the Office of the State Long-Term Ombudsman. Notice of Transfer or Discharge (Emergency) - 1. When a resident is sent emergently to an acute care setting, this is considered a transfer, not discharge, because the resident's return is generally expected. 2. Notice of transfer is provided to the resident and representative as soon as practicable before the transfer and to the long-term care (LTC) ombudsman when practicable (e.g., in a monthly list of residents that includes all notice content requirements) . Notice of Discharge after Transfer - 1. If discharge is initiated by the facility after an emergency transfer to the hospital, the reason for discharge is based on the resident's status at the time the resident seeks return to the facility (not at the time the resident was transferred to acute care). 3. The facility will send a copy of the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

LVN 1 stated she was the nurse who notified the physician and the responsible party for Resident 1's significant weight gain of more than five pounds on 12/1/25. LVN 1 stated she notified the physician and responsible party based on Resident 1's weight and stated, based on numbers. LVN 1 stated she did not assess Resident 1 related to significant weight gain and continued gradual weight gain. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 sleeps a lot, and she was guessing that causing the weight gain. LVN 1 stated nursing assessment was very important, and stated, to catch whatever is going on before it gets worse. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 should be assessed from head to toe to make sure she was not getting fluids built-up which could worsen her breathing. LVN 1 stated she should assess Resident 1 to rule out the cause of significant weight gain. LVN 1 stated there was no weekly weight meeting and no formal discussion regarding significant weight changes.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/26 at 11:25 a.m. with the Registered Dietitian, Resident 1's weights and laboratory values were reviewed. The RD indicated Resident had a 13 lbs. weight gain in 6 months, and stated, definitely a trend up. The RD stated Resident 1 had been having a gradual weight gain. The RD indicated Resident's recent albumin level (representing a vital protein produced by the liver to maintain fluid balance and transport substances) was 2.8 and stated, definitely low.

The RD stated Resident 1 does not eat much but had tendency to drink more of her strawberry milk. The RD stated Resident 1 had history of edema (swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues, commonly occurring in the legs, feet, and ankles). The RD stated based on his assessment Resident 1's weight gain was fat weight. The RD stated he should complete a nutritional assessment when Resident 1 triggered a significant weight gain. The RD stated it was the facility's protocol to place residents with significant gain or loss on weekly weights to closely monitor their weights and to rule out the cause of significant weight changes. The RD stated Resident 1 significant weight gain met the criteria of being on weekly weights. The RD stated she was not on weekly weights and started on weekly weights today (2/10/26). The RD stated Resident 1's significant weight gain should be care planned to ensure necessary interventions were in place. The RD stated care plan for significant weight changes should be developed and updated to ensure residents are receiving appropriate interventions to prevent significant weight changes. The RD stated the facility does not have a weekly weight meeting to formally discuss significant weight changes. The RD stated the facility is creating a Nutrition Committee to conduct a weekly nutrition meeting to formally discuss residents with significant weight changes to properly address significant weight changes including assessments, additional interventions, and monitoring.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/26 at 1:07 p.m. with LVN 1, Resident 1's nutrition care plan was reviewed. LVN 1 stated she cannot locate a significant weight gain nutrition care plan. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's nutrition care plan for significant weight gain should be created and implemented to monitor Resident 1's weights weekly for any changes to ensure Resident 1 was not retaining fluids which could worsen her breathing and functional mobility. LVN 1 stated care plan should be person-centered based on residents' assessment and needs. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/26 at 1:45 p.m. with Minimum Data Set Coordinator Nurse (MDSCN), in the dining room, Resident 1's lower extremities were assessed.

The MDSCN stated Resident 1's legs were large and no edema and stated, seem edematous.it's not edema. The MDSCN stated the physician needed to assess and diagnose.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/26 at 2:00 p.m. with the MDSCN, Resident 1's care plan report titled Nutrition, dated 10/8/24 was reviewed. The Nutrition care plan indicated, At risk for impaired nutrition related to diagnosis of anemia, .dementia, .depression (persistent feelings of sadness, despair, loss of energy, and difficulty dealing with normal daily life). Goal: Resident will have no significant weight loss or gain through next review. Interventions: Monitor for fluid loss from mouth, drooling, coughing, choking, and pain in swallowing. Monitor weight monthly, weekly or as ordered. The MDSCN stated the nutrition care plan did not address Resident 1's significant weight gain and care plan goals should be measurable. The MDSCN stated Resident 1's nutrition care plan interventions did not include interventions related to Resident 1's significant weight gain. The MDSCN stated Resident 1's nutrition care plan interventions focused on interventions to prevent weight loss related to poor oral intake. The MDSCN stated Resident 1 had episodes of drooling, difficulty eating and chewing, and trouble swallowing. The MDSCN stated Resident 1 does not like the nutritional supplement and likes snacks and candies. The MDSCN stated Resident 1's care plan should be person-centered and stated, it's generic care plan.

The DON stated it was her expectation for licensed nurses to follow the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) for weights in which five percent of weight gain was considered significant and should be addressed to provide necessary intervention to prevent significant weight changes. The DON stated conducting residents' assessment is important to identify potential cause of significant weight changes. The DON stated the facility will create a weight nutrition committee to conduct a weekly nutrition meeting to discuss residents' significant and gradual weight changes to properly assess, develop a person-centered care plan to address resident's' needs, and monitor resident's response to intervention. The DON stated care plan should be reviewed and updated to identify interventions might not be effective to achieve resident's goals. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR - a summary of information regarding a patient which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), dated 10/1/24, the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), Heart Failure (a condition when the heart muscle doesn't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs which can cause fatigue and shortness of breath), Anemia (disease that occurs when the body doesn't have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen), and Chronic Kidney Disease ( a disease characterized by progressive damage and loss of function in the kidneys).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool used to identify cognitive [mental processes] and physical functional level assessment), dated 11/25/25, the MDS section C indicated Resident 1's BIMS - was not conducted with a code of 0 indicating No (resident is rarely/never understood).

Findings:During an interview on 2/6/26 at 8:35a.m. with the Cook, the [NAME] stated the CDM was her supervisor and all kitchen staff reported to the CDM. The [NAME] stated the CDM conducted all training for the kitchen staff.During an interview on 2/6/26 at 8:39a.m. with the CDM, the CDM stated her CDM license had lapsed on 6/1/25. The CDM stated she was required to submit all continuing education hours to the certifying board of dietary managers (CBDM) by 5/31/25 and her license was required to be renewed every three years. The CDM stated she reported to the Infection Preventionist (IP), who had been her supervisor for the past several months. The CDM stated in November the IP requested a copy of her renewed license; however, they were unable to connect to review it at that time. The CDM stated in January, the IP asked her to verify her license status online in the IP's presence, at which time the license status reflected as expired. The CDM stated she had since paid the required fee to retake the CDM examination to renew her license and the examination was scheduled for the end of the month.During an interview on 2/6/26 at 9:33a.m. with the Registered Dietitian (RD), the RD stated he did not oversee the kitchen and the CDM was responsible for kitchen operations.

The IP stated she asked the CDM about her license approximately one month ago. The IP stated the CDM informed her the previous week she was short of two CEU's needed for renewal. The IP stated upon learning this information, she immediately notified the Administrator and Human Resources (HR) to determine how to address the situation. The IP stated her understanding was that HR tracked employee licenses and certifications; however, she now understood that she had a role in oversight. The IP stated the CDM's responsibilities included assisting in ensuring meals were nutritionally balanced, overseeing infection control and food safety practices, supervising kitchen staff to ensure safe operations, participating in the interdisciplinary team (IDT) and completing resident preference documentation. The IP stated an active certification was necessary to ensure the individual remained current with required education, standards and regulatory changes.
