We will just wait in line, and we don't need an appointment, but I will stay with her and get all of this insurance straightened out. I don't usually work in this facility, I work in a sister facility, but they approved me to help to get this resolved as soon as possible. It has been over 18 months since she was admitted . During an interview on 6/17/25 at 2:40 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) and the administrator (Admin) confirmed Resident 31 should have already had her insurance changed to this local county many months ago, but it will be resolved next week. During a follow up interview on 6/18/25 at 10:30 am, the DON and Admin confirmed not helping Resident 31 with needed PT services is a violation of residents' rights.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, the facility managers who meet to discuss the care needs of the residents) developed care plans for one of nineteen sampled residents (Resident 23), when there was no care plan developed for pain management or oxygen use for Resident 23. This failure had the potential for staff to not be fully informed on Resident 23's needs regarding pain control and respiratory care.
Findings: During a review of the facility policy titled, Comprehensive Care Plans, undated, indicated, that the facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident. The care plan will be revised by the interdisciplinary team after each comprehensive and quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) assessment.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure essential equipment was maintained in safe operating condition when the walk-in freezer had not kept frozen food frozen and there was excessive ice build-up on the freezer floor.
Residents Affected - Many These failures had the potential for the freezer to not function in the way it was intended which could lead to contamination of food, and in turn food-borne illnesses for the 52 residents who received food prepared by the kitchen. Excessive ice build up could pose a safety hazard and accidents for vendors and employees who enter the walk-in freezer.
Findings: According to the USDA Food Code 2022 Section 4-501.11, Equipment shall be maintained in good repair and proper adjustment. On 6/16/25 at 10:25 am, an observation of the walk-in freezer and concurrent interview was conducted with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM). According to the internal thermometer located in the walk-in freezer, the internal temperature of the freezer was 20 degrees Fahrenheit (F). A five-gallon container of strawberry ice cream stored on the freezer shelf was completely melted. The CDM confirmed the finding and stated the ice cream would be discarded. The floor of the freezer had a black floor mat that was covered in ice and frozen ice approximately six by six inches in the shape of a ball was on the freezer floor next to the floor mat. The CDM indicated the freezer temperature problem had been repaired last year and there was a plan to repair the freezer again. On 6/16/25 at 12:55 pm, an observation of the walk-in freezer was conducted. According to the internal thermometer located in the walk-in freezer, the temperature was 34 degrees F. Using the surveyor thermometer, the internal temperature of the walk -in freezer was 34.3 degrees F. One box of cinnamon bread dough and one box of individual raspberry sorbet were thawed and not frozen solid. On 6/16/25 at 3:35 pm, an observation of the walk-in freezer and concurrent interview was conducted with the Director of Maintenance (DM). According to the internal thermometer located in the walk-in freezer, the internal temperature of the walk-in freezer was 40 degrees F. The DM indicated the freezer had a defrost cycle four times a day for 15 minutes each cycle. The DM stated when the freezer was in the defrost cycle, water dripped on the floor, froze, and created large amounts of ice. The DM further stated the wall and roof of the freezer had dry rot (rotted wood), and there was a project plan to replace the roof and add insulation. The DM indicated he would contact an outside company to come inspect the freezer. During a concurrent interview and observation with the CDM on 6/17/25 at 11:05 am, the outside walls of the walk-in freezer showed exposed insulation, wood framing, and the outside wall was missing on one side. All freezer hardware was exposed to the outside of facility. The CDM confirmed these findings. On 6/17/25 at 3:25 pm, an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON confirmed the walk-in freezer should be in working order with temperatures at or below 0 (zero) degrees Fahrenheit and all foods should be frozen solid.
