**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 113) was
assessed, and that the physician was notified when Resident 113 experienced a significant change of
condition (COC- a decline or improvement in the resident's status that will not normally resolve itself without
intervention by staff) of low blood pressure. This failure resulted in Resident 113's low blood pressure going
unnoticed by licensed staff, placing the resident at risk for adverse outcomes.Findings:During a review of
Resident 113's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 113 was originally admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of but not limited to hypertension (HTN-high
blood pressure), heart failure (heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for
blood and oxygen) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control
and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 113's Care Plan, titled Hypertension, revised
11/19/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 113 was at risk for fluctuating blood pressure. The Care plan
indicated to monitor, document, and report side effects such as orthostatic hypotension.( a sudden drop in
blood pressure when standing up from sitting or lying down, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, or
fainting). During a review of Resident 113's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated
11/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 113 had the ability to express ideas and wants. The MDS
indicated Resident 113 usually understands verbal content. The MDS indicated Resident 113 was
dependent on nursing staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showering dressing, and transferring. During a
concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), Resident 113's blood
pressure reading dated 11/26/2025, 11/27/2025 and 11/28/2025 were reviewed. Resident 113's blood
pressure readings indicated on: 11/26/2025 at 4:20 p.m. the blood pressure was 90 / 62 millimeters per
mercury (mmHg-unit of measurement) 11/26/2025 at 4:43 p.m., blood pressure was 90 / 62

immediately notify Resident 113's physician if systolic blood pressure was below 110, or diastolic blood
pressure was below 90. LVN 2 stated the licensed nurses should document an SBAR (situation,
background, assessment, recommendation-a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there
is a change of condition for low blood pressure. LVN 2 stated there was no documentation to indicate
Resident 113's physician was notified and no documentation to indicate Resident 113 had a change of
condition. LVN 2 stated licensed staff should notify physician to know the plan of care for Resident 113. LVN
2 stated low blood pressure can cause sleepiness, compromise breathing, or cause the residents to faint.

interview and record review conducted on 12/19/2025 at 9:14 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS
2), RNS 2 stated that there was no documentation of an SBAR or a change of condition for Resident 113's
low blood pressure, and the physician was not notified. RNS 2 stated low blood pressure constitutes a
change of condition and without intervention, the resident could experience symptoms such as dizziness
and lethargy, and the blood pressure could continue to decrease. During an interview on 12/19/2025 at

pressure should have been reassessed, and the physician should have been notified. The DON stated the
SBAR tool was used to assess and monitor any change of condition and to communicate with physicians
for medication adjustments or discontinuations as needed. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedures (P&P), titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated 2/2021, the P&P indicated, Our
facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and the resident representative of
changes in the resident's medical/mental condition and/or status (e.g., changes in level of care,
billing/payments, resident rights, etc.).Prior to notifying the physician or healthcare provider, the nurse will
make detailed observations and gather relevant and pertinent information for the provider, including (for
example) information prompted by the Interact SBAR Communication Form.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 18) by not addressing Resident 18's toenail fungus (a fungal infection
below the surface of the nail) in the care plan.This deficient practice had the potential to negatively impact
the delivery of necessary care and services for Resident 18.Findings:During a review of Resident 18's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including bipolar disorder (mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated
periods of emotional highs) and osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by gradual loss
of cartilage). During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated
11/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognition (ability to think, learn, and remember) was severely
impaired and Resident 18 required maximum (helper does more than half the effort) assistance with
toileting and showering. During a review of Resident 18's Podiatrist (foot doctor) Note dated 10/23/2025,
the Podiatrist Note indicated Resident 18 had onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the nail unit) and
onychodystrophy (deformity of the toenails). During an observation on 12/16/2025 at 12:56 p.m., in
Resident 18's room, Resident 18 was noted to have yellow, crusty, and thick toenails of all 10 toes. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 11:40 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
4, LVN 4 stated she was familiar with Resident 18 but was not aware of the resident's toenail fungus. LVN 4
stated there was no care plan addressing the condition and stated that a care plan should be in place for
Resident 18's toenail fungus to ensure follow-up on interventions and monitor their effectiveness. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/2025 at 8:06 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor
(RNS) 2, RNS 2 reviewed Resident 18's Podiatrist Notes and confirmed the resident had onychomycosis.
RNS 2 stated there should be a care plan in place for this condition. RNS 2 stated a care plan was
important so staff can monitor and assess Resident 18 for improvement or worsening of the toenail fungus.
During an interview on 12/19/2025 at 8:55 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated care
plans address problems with goals, interventions, and monitoring for improvement. The DON stated there
should be a care plan in place for Resident 18's toenail fungus so staff could assess and monitor for
improvement or worsening of the Resident 18's toenail fungus. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered dated 12/2026, the P&P indicated, A
comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the
resident's physical, psychosocial and function needs is developed and implemented for each resident.
Identifying problem areas and their causes and developing interventions that are targeted and meaningful
to the resident, are the endpoint of an interdisciplinary process.

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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor range of motion (ROM-the full
movement potential of a joint) for four of nine sampled residents (Residents 58, 15, 38, and 52) who had or
were at risk for limited ROM and mobility. The facility failed to:1.Ensure Resident 58 received two quarterly
Joint Mobility Screens (JMS-a brief assessment of ROM in both arms and legs) in 5/2025 and
8/2025.2.Ensure Resident 15 received a quarterly JMS in 7/ 2025.3.Ensure Resident 38 received a
quarterly JMS in 7/2025.4.Ensure Resident 52 received a quarterly JMS in 5/2025.These failures had the
potential for Residents 58, 15, 38, and 52 to develop further ROM limitations in the arms and legs due to
the lack of monitoring.1. During a review of Resident 58's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated
Resident 58 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including but not limited to hemiplegia (weakness to one side of the body) and hemiparesis (inability to
move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (blockage of the flow of blood brain, causing or
resulting in brain tissue death) affecting right dominant side, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) with other specified complication.
During a review of Resident 58's History and Physical Examination (H&P) dated 11/29/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 58 could make needs known but could not make medical decisions. During a review of
Resident 58's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool) dated 11/5/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 58 had severe cognitive impairments (mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and
comprehension, includes thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, problem-solving). The MDS indicated
Resident 58 required partial assistance with eating, oral hygiene, upper body dressing, sit to lying and
required substantial assistance with bathing, lower body dressing, sit to stand, and chair to bed transfers.
The MDS indicated Resident 58 required supervision assistance with walking 50 feet. The MDS indicated
Resident 58 had functional limitations in ROM on both sides of the upper extremity (UE, shoulder, elbow,
wrist, hand) and did not have any functional impairments in ROM in the lower extremities ([NAME], hip,
knee, ankle, foot). During a review of Resident 58's Care Plan (CP) revised on 11/20/2025, the CP
indicated Resident 58 needed a Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that help
residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) ambulation (walk) program and was at risk for decline
in ambulation, at risk for falls, and demonstrated impaired safety judgement for functional mobility. The CP
goal indicated Resident 58 will maintain/prevent decline in ambulation status through next review. The CP
intervention included to monitor resident's response and tolerance to treatment and RNA to do ambulating
using front-wheeled walker (type of mobility aid with wide base of support and two wheels in the front) three
times a week as tolerated. During a review of Resident 58's JMS dated 11/4/2025, the JMS indicated
Resident 58 had full range of motion in both UE and full range of motion in both [NAME]. There were no
other JMS noted in 2025 in Resident 58's medical records. During an observation and interview on
12/18/2025 at 12:05 p.m., Resident 58 was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway and using both legs to
self-propel and move around the hallway. Resident 58 was able to move the left arm, and the right arm was
relaxed to the right side. Resident 58 stated he could not move the right arm, and he used the left arm to
eat. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 58's JMS were reviewed. DOR stated there was a JMS completed on
11/4/2025 and stated there were no other JMS completed for Resident 58 in 2025. DOR stated the facility
revised their policy to increase JMS on an annual basis to a quarterly basis starting in April 2025. DOR
stated Resident 58 should

have had two quarterly JMS completed in May 2025 and August 2025, but the JMS were not completed.
DOR stated if therapy staff miss a quarterly JMS, there was a potential for staff to miss any ROM declines
and provide therapy interventions as needed to restore any ROM declines. During an interview on
12/18/2025 at 3:24 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important for the facility to monitor
resident's ROM so that staff could catch any declines in ROM and mobility and provide any therapy
intervention to maintain the resident's mobility and minimize contractures (loss of motion of a joint). During
a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) revised May 2025, titled Rehab Screening and Joint
Mobility Assessments, the P&P indicated joint mobility assessments should be completed quarterly,
annually, and as needed to identify residents with functional changes and/or changes in ROM. 2. During a
review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 15 was initially admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to stiffness of right hip,
stiffness of right knee, stiffness of left hip, stiffness of left knee, contracture (loss of motion of a joint) left
elbow, contracture right knee, contracture left knee, contracture right shoulder, contracture left shoulder,
contracture right elbow, contracture right hand, contracture left hand, and unspecified dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 15's History and Physical
Examination (H&P) dated 6/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 15 did not have the capacity to understand
and make decisions. During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool)
dated 11/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 15 was severely impaired in cognitive skills (mental
processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, includes thinking, knowing, remembering,
judging, problem-solving) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 15 required dependent
assistance from staff for oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, rolling, and bed to chair transfers. The MDS
indicated Resident 15 had functional limitations in ROM for both sides of the upper extremities (BUE,
shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand) and both sides of the lower extremities (BLE, hip, knee, ankle/foot). During a
review of Resident 15's Care Plan (CP) initiated on 11/25/2025 for RNA Therapy, the CP indicated Resident
15 needed a therapeutic exercise/ROM Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that
help residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) program and was at risk for decline in ROM, risk
for decreased muscle strength, decreased functional use of extremity, and risk for deformity and contracture
(loss of motion in a joint) formation. The CP goal indicated Resident 15 will maintain/prevent decline in
ROM through next review. The CP interventions included to monitor resident's response and tolerance to
treatment, RNA to do passive range of motion (PROM, movement at a given joint with full assistance from
another person) to BLE daily five times per week as tolerated, and RNA to do PROM to BUE daily five
times per week or as tolerated. During a review of Resident 15's quarterly JMS dated 10/7/2025, the JMS
indicated severe loss in ROM in both hand/fingers, both wrists, both elbows, and both shoulders. The JMS
indicated severe loss in ROM in both hips, both knees, and both ankles. The JMS indicated a
recommendation for skilled physical therapy and occupational therapy evaluation. During an observation
and interview on 12/17/2025 at 10:21 a.m., Resident 15 was lying in bed and did not speak. Resident 15
was observed wearing an elbow splint (rigid material or apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken
bone or impaired joint) on both elbows, the right wrist was bent forward and both hands/fingers were bent
and had a blue carrot hand splint inside both hands. Resident 15's right index finger was bent backwards.
Resident 15's knees were straight and there was a soft boot on both ankles/feet. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident
15's JMS were reviewed. DOR stated there was a quarterly JMS completed on 11/21/2025 and stated there

(inability to move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (blockage of the flow of blood brain,
causing or resulting in brain tissue death) affecting dominant right side, contracture (loss of motion in a
joint) right elbow, and contracture right hand. During a review of Resident 52's History and Physical
Examination (H&P) dated 11/1/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 38 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 52's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident
assessment tool) dated 11/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 52 was severely impaired in cognitive
skills (mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, includes thinking, knowing,
remembering, judging, problem-solving) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 52 required
dependent assistance from staff for oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, rolling, and bed to chair transfers. The
MDS indicated Resident 52 had functional limitations in ROM for both sides of the upper extremities (UE,
shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand) and both sides of the lower extremities ([NAME], hip, knee, ankle/foot). During
a review of Resident 52's Care Plan (CP) initiated on 10/10/2025, the CP indicated Resident 52 needed a
therapeutic exercise/ROM Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that help
residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) and was at risk for decline in ROM, risk for decreased
muscle strength, decreased functional use of extremity, and risk for deformity and contracture formation.
The CP goal indicated Resident 52 will maintain/prevent decline in ROM and will show prevention or
reduced risk of deformity or contracture progression or formation through next review. The CP interventions
included to monitor resident's response and tolerance to treatment, RNA to do active assistive range of
motion (AAROM, movement at a given joint with a person's own effort and assistance from an external
force or another person) to left [NAME] five times a week, RNA to do passive range of motion (PROM,
movement at a given joint with full assistance from another person) to right [NAME] daily five times a week,
and RNA to do PROM to right UE daily five times a week as tolerated. During a review of Resident 52's
quarterly JMS dated 2/28/2025, the JMS indicated moderate ROM loss in the right hand/fingers, severe
loss in ROM in right wrist, right elbow, and right shoulder. The JMS indicated Resident 52 had full ROM in
the left hand/fingers, left wrist, left elbow, and left shoulder. The JMS indicated full ROM in both hips, both
knees, and both ankles. The JMS indicated a recommendation for an RNA program and skilled
occupational therapy evaluation. During a review of Resident 52's quarterly JMS dated 10/16/2025, the
JMS indicated full ROM in the right hand/fingers and moderate loss in ROM in right wrist, right elbow, and

a.m., Resident 52 was lying in bed and did not speak. Resident 52 was observed wearing a right elbow and
right wrist/hand splint. Resident 52's left elbow was bent about halfway, wrist was straight, and the fingers
relaxed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 52's JMS were reviewed. DOR stated there was a quarterly JMS completed
on 2/28/2025 and stated there was another quarterly JMS completed on 10/16/2025. DOR stated the
facility revised their policy to increase JMS on an annual basis to a quarterly basis starting in April 2025.
DOR stated Resident 52 should have had a quarterly JMS completed in May 2025, but the JMS was not
completed. DOR stated if therapy staff miss a quarterly JMS, there was a potential for staff to miss any
ROM declines and provide therapy interventions as needed to restore any ROM declines. During an
interview on 12/18/2025 at 3:24 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important for the facility to
monitor resident's ROM so that staff could catch any declines in ROM and mobility and provide any therapy
intervention to maintain the resident's mobility and minimize contractures. During a review of the facility's
policies and procedures (P&P) revised May 2025, titled Rehab Screening and Joint Mobility Assessments,
the P&P indicated joint mobility assessments should be completed quarterly, annually, and as needed to
identify residents with functional changes and/or changes in ROM.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to initiate a change of condition ([COC] a
sudden, clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline in physical, cognitive (ability to think,
understand, learn, and remember) process for one of four sampled residents (Resident 106), when
Resident 106 reported pain in his left shoulder.This failure had the potential for Resident 106's pain to
remain uncontrolled, affecting comfort and quality of life.Findings:During a review of Resident 106's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 106 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
the diagnosis including encephalopathy (damage or disease that affects the brain), anemia (a condition
where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells) and dementia (a progressive state of decline
in mental abilities).During a review of Resident 106's History & Physical (H&P) dated 8/22/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 106 was alert and oriented.During a review of Resident 106's Minimum Data Set
(MDS-resident assessment tool) dated 11/26/2025. The MDS indicated Resident 106 had severe cognitive
(ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) impairment. The MDS also indicated Resident 106
needed setup or clean up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up resident completes activity) with activities
of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily
to care for themselves). During a review of Resident 106's Order Summary Report dated 12/19/2025. The
Order Summary Report indicated Resident 106 was started on diclofenac sodium ( used for temporary
relief of arthritis [joint inflammation causing pain, swelling, and stiffness] pain in specific joints like hands,
wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, and knees ) external gel 1% apply to neck, left upper shoulder and right upper
shoulder apply two times a day for pain management started date 12/11/2025.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/16/2025 at 12:09 p.m. with Resident 106 in the dining room. Resident 106
was observed rubbing his left shoulder. Resident 106 stated his shoulder was hurting bad and the cream
they were putting on wasn't working. Resident 106 stated he needed something stronger. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/2025 at 2:49 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2,
Resident 106's Order Summary Report dated 12/19/2025 was reviewed. LVN 2 stated Resident 106 was
started on diclofenac sodium 1% external gel (a topical medication applied to the skin) to the neck, left
upper shoulder, and right upper shoulder, to be applied twice daily for pain management beginning on
12/11/2025. LVN 2 stated a change of condition (COC) should be initiated when a resident was
experiencing pain and a new medication was started to ensure the medication was effective and the
resident was tolerating it. LVN 2 stated there was no COC documented and stated one should have been
completed on 12/11/2025 when diclofenac was started. LVN 2 stated that without a COC, licensed nurses
could not adequately monitor the effectiveness of the medication, placing Resident 106 at risk for
unmanaged pain. During an interview on 12/19/2025 at 9:05 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the
DON stated she was aware that Resident 106 was started on diclofenac on 12/11/2025 for pain
management and confirmed that no change of condition (COC) was completed. The DON stated that a
COC should have been initiated when Resident 106 was experiencing pain to ensure the resident was
tolerating the medication and that it was effective in managing pain. The DON further stated that without
this process, Resident 106's comfort level was at risk of being compromised. During a review of Resident
106's care plan titled At Risk for Alteration in Comfort, the care plan indicated Resident 106 was receiving
Diclofenac Gel 1% as ordered. The care plan interventions indicated to monitor and document the probable
cause of each pain episode and remove or limit contributing factors where possible. During a review of the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of two sampled residents (Residents 84 and
113) were free from significant medication errors. The facility failed to:1.Ensure Resident 84's lidocaine
patch (a medication used for localized pain relief) was removed at the scheduled time.This failure had the
potential to expose Resident 84 to prolonged medication absorption and increase the risk of adverse
reactions, which could lead to a decline in the resident's ability to perform activities of daily living.2.Ensure
Resident 113 did not receive medication for heart failure when the resident's systolic blood pressure was
less than 110 millimeters per mercury (mmHg-unit of pressure), as required by the physician's order to hold
the medication if systolic blood pressure was below 110 mmHg.This failure had the potential to cause

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen dishwasher
temperature gauge was functioning properly. This failure had the potential to expose residents to dishes
washed at unsafe temperatures, which could promote bacterial growth and increase the risk of foodborne
illness (illness caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins )Findings:During a
concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/2025 at 9:03 a.m. in the kitchen with Dietary Aide (DA 1), a
low-temperature dishwasher was observed being used to wash dishes. DA 1 stated the wash temperature
gauge displayed 120 degrees Fahrenheit ( F- unit of temperature). However, a photo taken of the gauge at
that time showed the temperature reading was 95 F. During an interview on 12/17/2025 at 1:16 p.m. in the
kitchen with Dietary Aide (DA 2), DA 2 ran a dishwasher cycle and stated the temperature gauge displayed
110 F. DA 2 further stated that the temperature gauge had not been working since 12/15/2025. During an
interview on 12/19/2025 at 11:25 a.m. with Dietary Aide (DA 1), DA 1 stated that the dishwasher
temperature gauge had been broken since 12/15/2025. DA 1 admitted she was nervous and provided an
inaccurate temperature reading during the previous observation on 12/17/2025. DA 1 further stated that the
temperature gauge needs to be functional to ensure proper sanitization and prevent infection. During an
interview on 12/19/2025 at 11:32 a.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated she contacted
maintenance to have the water temperature checked because the dishwasher temperature gauge was
broken and the wash cycle readings were above 130 F. The DS confirmed the temperature gauge was
broken and stated the facility was waiting for replacement parts to arrive. During an interview on 12/19/2025
at 11:40 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the dishwasher temperature gauge needs
to be functional to ensure the correct temperatures were reached to kill germs or microbes
(microorganisms are tiny living organisms found in air, water, soil, and the human body). The DON
emphasized that proper heat was necessary to sanitize dishes and prevent infection. During a review of
Dish Machine Temperature Log dated 12/2025, the Dish Machine Temperature Log indicated instructions
for wash temperatures must be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. and to run the machine until temperature

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the two dryers' gas hoses
connected to the gas line were intact and free from leaks.This failure had the potential to increase the risk
of fire or carbon monoxide exposure to residents which could result in injury or harm. Findings:a. During a
concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/2025 at 10:45 a.m. with Laundry Aid (LA) 1 in the laundry
room, the laundry room had a strong pungent distinct odor. LA 1 stated she did not smell any odor that was
different from any other chemicals used for laundering. LA 1 stated if a gas leak was suspected, she would
stop the dryers, turn off the gas supply and report it to the maintenance supervisor.During an interview on
12/17/2025 at 10:45 a.m. with the Administrator (ADM)in the laundry room, the ADM stated she smelled a
slight odor like gas in the laundry room.During an interview on 12/17/2025 at 12:20 p.m. with the ADM, the
ADM stated the gas company was contacted and found minimal leaks in three different areas of the hoses
connected to the dryers prior to the gas shut off valve connected to the gas line. The ADM stated the
laundry room gas line was separate from the kitchen gas line and leaks were not on the main gas
line.During an interview on 12/17/2025 at 12:30 p.m. with the ADM, the dryers were not in use until the
local gas company cleared the facility to use the dryers.During an interview on 12/19/2025 at 11:45 a.m.
with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the MS stated the leak was on the hoses connected to the dryers
and not the main gas line. The MS stated he turned off the gas supply as there was a gas valve prior to the
hoses connected to the dryers. The MS stated since he was not certified nor had the tools to test for gas
leaks, he turned off the gas and informed the Administrator.During a concurrent interview and record review
on 12/19/2025 at 11:50 a.m. with the ADM, the ADM stated the importance of making sure the dryer hoses
were being checked was to ensure dryers remain functional to supply linen and clothes to the residents and
to ensure residents, staff, and visitors would not be exposed to odorless gas that may result in injury or
harm.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Natural Gas Emergencies dated
12/22/2023, the P&P did not indicate procedures to prevent and monitor for potential gas leak in the facility.
