**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary and
comfortable environment when the transition strip (a narrow piece of material used to bridge the gap
between two different types of flooring) between the residents' room and hallway to room [ROOM
NUMBER] was approximately 0.5 inches (unit of measurement) in height and the transition strip to room
[ROOM NUMBER], 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 were cracked and uneven. This
failure had the potential to result in hazardous conditions for four of four sampled residents (Resident 1, 2,
3, and 4) which could lead to falls and injury. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on
2/13/26 at 9:33 a.m. with Resident 1 in room [ROOM NUMBER], Resident 1 was sitting on his bed.
Resident 1 stated he fell one month ago. Resident 1 stated he was sitting in his wheelchair while going
backward to get out of his room. Resident 1 stated there was a lip (transition strip) on the floor between the
room and hallway, and Resident 1 was unable to push his wheelchair pass the lip. Resident 1 stated he
stood up to push the wheelchair back behind him and when the wheelchair moved back, he lost his balance
and fell onto the floor landing on his bottom. Resident 1 stated he hurt his back during the fall. Resident 1
stated he pushed himself backward while sitting in the wheelchair to get out of his room because the back
wheels were bigger making it easier to get over the lip. Resident 1 pointed to the transition strip at the
entrance, which was cracked and uneven. During a record review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR),
dated 2/13/26, the AR indicated Resident 1 had a diagnosis of Hepatitis C (a viral infection that causes liver
swelling and inflammation), Coccidioidomycosis (also known as Valley Fever is a fungal infection caused by
inhaling Coccidioides spores found in the soil of arid regions like the southwestern U.S. and California) and
Muscle Weakness. During a record review of Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS - an
assessment of a resident's cognitive status; the ability to remember, concentrate, learn new things, and/or
make decisions that affect their everyday life), dated 1/22/26, the BIMS score was 15 (a score of 0 to 7
indicated severe cognitive impairment, 8 to 12 indicated moderate cognitive impairment, and 13 to 15
indicated minimal to no cognitive impairment). During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/13/26 at
10:05 a.m. with the Director of Maintenance (DOM), the transition strip to room [ROOM NUMBER] was
measured to be approximately 0.25 inches in height. The DOM stated the transition strip was cracked and
uneven and needed to be replaced. The transition strip to room [ROOM NUMBER] was made of wood and
was approximately 0.5 inches in height. The DOM stated the standard American Disability Act (ADA) height
requirement for a transition strip was 0.25 inches. The transition strip to rooms 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 were made of plastic and measured to be approximately 0.25 inches in
height. The DOM stated the transition strips to rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
and 21 could be difficult for residents to get pass safely. The DOM stated the transition pieces were high,
uneven, and cracked which could tip the

resident over in the wheelchair and fall. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/13/26 at 10:10
a.m. with Resident 2 outside room [ROOM NUMBER] in the hallway, Resident 2 was sitting in his
wheelchair with two family members. Resident 2 stated room [ROOM NUMBER] was his room. Resident 2
stated the transition strip made it difficult to go in and out of his room. Resident 2 stated sometimes the
transition strip would cause the wheelchair to spin. Resident 2 stated the transition strip would cause the
wheelchair to turn as he crossed the transition strip. Resident 2 stated the transition strip could cause a fall.
During a record review of Resident 2's AR, dated 2/13/26, the AR indicated Resident 2 had a diagnosis of
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (a progressive, incurable lung disease that causes severe,
long-term breathing difficulty), Hypertensive Heart Disease (chronic high blood pressure leading to heart
muscle thickening, stiffening, and eventual failure), Dorsalgia (pain in any part of the back, including the
neck, mid-back, or lower back), and Dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss
of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking). During a record
review of Resident 2's BIMS, dated 2/9/26, the BIMS score was 11. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 2/13/26 at 10:30 a.m. with Resident 3 in room [ROOM NUMBER], Resident 3 was sitting in her
wheelchair next to bed 2. Resident 3 stated she had been using the wheelchair for mobilization for seven
years due to a history of fibromyalgia (a chronic, non-progressive neurological condition characterized by
musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances and disruption in mental processes). Resident 3 stated
the transition strip in her room was not an issue for her because she was strong enough to pass it in her
wheelchair, but the transition strip could be difficult for other residents. Resident 3 stated she has seen
residents go backward in their wheelchair to get in and out of their rooms because the back wheels were
bigger which made it easier to pass the transition strip. Resident 3 stated going backward in the wheelchair
could cause a fall. Resident 3 stated some residents shuffle (not lifting the feet off the floor completely when
walking), and an uneven and cracked transition strip could cause them to trip and fall. Resident 3 stated the
transition strip should be smooth, flat, and even to provide easy access to pass. During a record review of
Resident 3's AR, dated 2/13/26, the AR indicated Resident 3 had a diagnosis of Sepsis (a life-threatening
medical emergency caused by the body's extreme, dysfunctional response to an infection, resulting in
widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and potential organ failure), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a chronic
metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar due to insulin resistance), Cellulitis (acute, spreading
bacterial infection of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue) and Hypertensive Heart Disease. During a
record review of Resident 3's BIMS, dated 2/18/26, the BIMS score was 14. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 2/13/26 at 10:35 a.m. with Resident 4 in room [ROOM NUMBER], Resident 4
was lying in bed 3. Resident 4 stated she used a walker and wheelchair for mobilization. Resident 4 stated
the bump (transition strip) on the floor at the entrance was difficult to pass. Resident 4 stated she was
unable to get pass the transition strip using her walker and wheelchair and must call staff for assistance
when going in and out of her room. During a record review of Resident 4's AR, dated 2/13/26, the AR
indicated Resident 4 had a diagnosis of Discitis of lumbar region (medical condition characterized by
inflammation of the intervertebral disc space in the lower back), Sepsis, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and
Cutaneous Abscess of back (a localized, painful collection of pus, dead tissue, and bacteria that forms
within the deep skin layers on the back). During a record review of Resident 4's BIMS, dated 1/17/26, the
BIMS score was 13. During an interview on 2/13/26 at 10:44 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1,
CNA 1 stated pushing the residents in and out of the rooms in the wheelchair was difficult because the
transition strips were bumpy. CNA 1 stated some transition strips were more cracked and

uneven than others and could cause a fall. During an interview on 2/13/26 at 10:54 a.m. with CNA 3, CNA 3
stated the transition strips to the residents' rooms were difficult to push residents in and out of their rooms
in their wheelchairs and with the shower chair (an assistive device designed to provide a stable,
water-resistant seating surface for individuals who have limited mobility, poor balance, or reduced physical
strength). CNA 3 stated the shower chairs had small and hard wheels which made it more difficult to get
pass the transition strips. CNA 3 stated going backward in a wheelchair could cause the wheelchair to tilt
backward, resulting in a fall. CNA 3 stated the transition strip could cause a fall going forward in a
wheelchair or shower chair since the transition strip was not flat, smooth, and even. CNA 3 stated assisting
heavier residents in a wheelchair and shower chair was more difficult to get pass the transition strips and
had a higher risk of falling. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/13/26 at 11:48 a.m. with the
Director of Staff Development (DSD), the transition strips to rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17,
18, 19, 20, and 21 were observed. The DSD stated the transition strips were cracked and uneven and could
be a fall hazard. The DSD stated the transition strip should be flat, smooth, and even so residents and staff
could pass without difficulty. The DSD stated the facility should be a safe, functional, sanitary, and
comfortable environment for residents and staff. During an interview on 2/20/26 at 3:26 p.m. with the
Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated the transition strip was not hazardous. The ADM stated residents
walked past the transition strips 1000 times and there was no fall. The ADM stated Resident 1 chose to go
backward in the wheelchair and caused himself to fall. The ADM stated the facility should provide a safe,
functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents and staff. During a review of the facility's
policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated 7/2027, the P&P indicated,
Policy Statement: Our facility strives to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible.
Resident safety and supervision and assistance to prevent accidents are facility-wide priorities. Policy
Interpretation and Implementation: .2. Safety risks and environmental hazards are identified on an ongoing
basis through a combination of employee training, employee monitoring, and reporting processes; QAPI

incident/accident data; and a facility-wide commitment to safety at all levels of the organization. 3.When
accident hazards are identified, the QAPI/Safety Committee shall evaluate and analyze the cause(s) of the
hazards and develop strategies to mitigate or remove the hazards to the extent possible. During a review of
the facility's P&P titled, Maintenance Service, dated 2001, the P&P indicated, Policy Statement:
Maintenance service shall be provided to all areas of the building, grounds, and equipment. Policy
Interpretation and Implementation: 1. The maintenance department is responsible for maintaining the
buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe and operable manner at all times. 2. Functions of maintenance
