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 provide care in a manner that maintained or
enhanced the dignity of two of ten sampled residents (Resident 12 and Resident 38), by failing to:
-Ensure the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not stand over Resident 12, while providing assistance
during breakfast.
-Ensure Resident 38's urinary collection bag (designed to collect urine drained from the bladder via a
catheter) was covered with a privacy bag to afford dignity.
These deficient practices had the potential to affect residents sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and
psychosocial wellbeing.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 12's admission record (Face Sheet) indicated the facility originally admitted
Resident 12 on 2/28/2019, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including muscle weakness and
bipolar disorder (a brain disorder that causes changes in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function).
A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
12/17/2023, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (never/rarely made decisions) and was
dependent in toileting hygiene, showering and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 12 required
maximum assistance with eating.
A review of Resident 12's Dietary Profile dated 12/18/2023, indicated Resident 12 required total assistance
with eating (required one-on-one assistance for direct feeding).
During an observation on 1/9/2024 at 7:30 AM, in Resident 12's room, CNA 1 was standing over Resident
12 while feeding him. CNA 1 stated, I prefer to feed the resident while standing, because I have better
control over the resident.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/9/2024 at 7:36 AM, with the Licensed Vocational Nurse
1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 observed CNA 1 standing over Resident 12 while assisting him with his breakfast. LVN 1
stated staff were required to assist residents with feeding in a sitting position so they can maintain their
dignity.

During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important for the
CNAs to sit down when feeding the residents because this provided dignity and respect for the residents.
b. A review of the admission record indicated Resident 38 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE],
and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (damage to tissues in the brain due
to a loss of oxygen to the area), and benign prostatic hyperplasia (a condition in men in which the prostate
gland [A gland in the male reproductive system that is located just below the bladder] is enlarged).
A review of the Physician's Orders dated 8/11/2022 indicated to monitor Resident 38's suprapubic catheter
(a thin catheter inserted through a hole in the abdomen to drain urine from the bladder) during every shift
for infection and to clean the catheter with normal saline (a solution of water and salt), pat dry, and cover
with dry dressing every day.
A review of the MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 38 had severely impaired cognition, was dependent
in oral and toileting hygiene, showering, dressing and required maximum assistance with eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview with LVN 1 on 1/8/2024 at 8:20 AM, LVN 1 stated Resident
38's urinary collection bag was not covered with a privacy bag. LVN 1 stated urinary collection bags were
required to be covered with a privacy bag to promote dignity.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3:05 PM, the DON stated urinary collection bags were required to be
covered with a privacy bag to protect residents' privacy and promote dignity.
A review of facility's policy and procedure titled, Dignity, revised 12/2023, indicated each resident shall be
cared for in manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with
life, and feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. When assisted with care, residents were supported in
exercising their right, for example residents were provided with dignified dining experience. Demeaning
practices and standards of care that compromise dignity was prohibited. Staff were expected to promote
dignity and assist resident, for example helping the resident to keep the urinary catheter bags covered.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to complete the COVID-19 (respiratory illness caused by the
coronavirus) vaccine informed consent form for two of five sampled residents (Resident 9 and 21). This
deficient practice had the potential to result in the residents or residents representative not being informed
of their rights regarding vaccine administration.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
a. A review of the admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 9 to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses including Type II diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
A review of Resident 9's COVID-19 Consent / Declination Form, dated 12/8/2023, indicated the Section 2
Screening for the Vaccine Eligibility and Section 3 for consent were not completed.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated
12/21/2023, indicated Resident 9 had moderate cognitive (conscious mental activities such as thinking,
remembering, reasoning) skills for daily decision making and was dependent for toileting, showering and
personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 9's Immunization Report dated 1/10/2024, the report indicated Resident 9 received
the COVID-19 vaccine on 12/14/2023.
b. A review of Resident 21's admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 21 on 6/4/2023, with
diagnoses including altered mental status (a change in mental function that stems from illness, disorders
and injuries affecting the brain), and depression (constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
A review of the MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 21 had severely impaired cognitive (conscious
mental activities such as thinking, remembering, reasoning) skills for daily decision making and needed
partial or moderate assistance for toileting, and dressing.
A review of the Immunization Report, dated 1/9/2024, indicated Resident 21 refused to receive the

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain an Advanced Directive (a legal document
in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make
decisions for themselves because of illness or incapacity) per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) for
one of six sampled residents (Resident 15). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 15's
predetermined medical decisions not being met.
Findings:
A review of the admission record (Face Sheet) indicated the facility admitted Resident 15 on 11/14/2012,
with diagnoses including Type II diabetes mellitus (a condition that happens because of a problem in the
way the body controls and uses sugar as a fuel) and essential hypertension (high blood pressure without a
known cause that affects the body's arteries).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care-screening tool) dated
12/2/2023, indicated Resident 15 had intact cognition (decisions consistent/reasonable) and required
partial or moderate assistance for personal hygiene, but was dependent in showering. The MDS indicated
Resident 15 required substantial assistance for toileting, and supervision with oral hygiene.
A review of Resident 15's Medical Records on 1/9/2024 at 1:24 PM, indicated there was no advanced
directive acknowledgement form present in the resident's chart.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/11/2024 at 8:49 AM, with the Social Services Director
(SSD), Resident 15's medical records were reviewed. The SSD stated there was no advanced directive
acknowledgement form present in Resident 15's chart and that this one was missed. The SSD stated the
form was not completed upon the resident's admission to the facility and that it was important for residents
to have an Advanced Directive in their chart. The SSD stated not having an advanced directive can affect a
resident or resident representatives from making prior informed decision in the event of an emergency and
the resident's wishes were not given, because an advance directive was not completed. The SSD state a lot
of things could have happened, because of him not having an advanced directive. His treatment and rights
could have been violated and wishes in the event of an emergency.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Advanced Directive, dated 12/2023, indicated prior to or
upon admission of a resident, the social services director or designee inquires of the resident, his family
members and/or his legal representative, about the existence of any written advance directives. The
resident or representative was provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept
medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses to do so. Written
information about the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate an
advance directive was provided in a manner that was easily understood by the resident or representative.
Information about weather or not the resident had executed an advanced directive was displayed
prominently in the medical record in a section of the record that was retrievable by any staff.

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.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide range of motion (how far you can move
or stretch a part of your body, such as joint or muscle) exercises for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 20) as ordered by the physician. This failure had the potential to result in contracture (permanent
shortening of muscle) in the resident.
Findings:
A review of Resident 20's admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 20 on 4/30/2020, with
diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness on
one side of the body) affecting left non-dominant side.
A review of Resident 20's care plan dated 6/25/2023, indicated Resident 20 was at risk for further decline in
functional status due to hemiplegia and had range of motion deficits related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis
secondary to cerebral vascular accident (CVA, an interruption in the flow of blood to the cells in the brain).
The care plan goal was for Resident 20 to maintain and improve current functional status as well as prevent
further contracture or increase severity.
A review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 12/29/2023, indicated Resident 20 had intact cognition (able to make decisions of daily living), was
dependent in showering and required substantial assistance for personal hygiene and toileting.
A review of the Physician's Orders, dated 1/1/2024, indicated for Resident 20 to receive a Restorative
Nursing Assistant (RNA) to perform passive range of motion (the part of your body that can move when
someone or something is creating the movement) exercises five times a week as tolerated to the left upper
arm and active range of motion (the motion of a joint that may be achieved by active muscle contraction)
exercises five time a week as tolerated to both lower legs. Apply a left-hand splint daily for four to six hours
with skin checks every two hours, five times a week as tolerated.
A review of Resident 20's Restorative Nursing Weekly Summary (RNWS), the RNWS did not indicate
Resident 20 received five days of exercises on the following weeks: 12/8, 12/15 and 12/29/2023.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/9/2024 at 3 PM, with RNA 1, Resident 20's
Restorative Order Medication Sheet (ROMS) dated 12/2023 was reviewed. The ROMS did not indicate
Resident 20 received restorative exercise treatment on: 12/1, 12/8, 12/11, 12/26 or 12/27/2023. RNA 1
stated the facility sometimes asked him to cover Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) duties when they were
short staffed and on those days, he was unable to perform the RNA duties and treat the residents.
During an interview on 1/10/2024 at 2:15 PM, RNA 1 stated Resident 20's exercise orders were meant to
reduce the progression of the contractures and make sure it did not get worse and if it was not getting done
then the resident could get worse.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/2024 at 2:41 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, Resident 20's ROMS dated 12/2023 were reviewed. LVN 1 stated upon reviewing the document,
the exercise should have been performed by someone but could not remember if any RNA services were
done those days.

Findings:
A review of Resident 30's admission record (Face Sheet) dated 1/2/2024, indicated the facility admitted
Resident 30 on 1/11/2023, with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (progressive disease that destroys
memory and other important mental functions) with late onset, unsteadiness on feet, and paranoid
schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly).
A review of Resident 30's history and physical (H&P) dated 1/23/2023, indicated Resident 30 had the
capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
A review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 10/26/2023, indicated Resident 30's cognition was intact (being able to follow two simple commands)
and was independent with personal hygiene, transfers and walking, but required supervision and setup for
oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, and eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 10:10 AM, with Infection Preventionist (IP) in
Resident 30's room, it was observed that Resident 30's bed was not locked. The IP stated the bed should
be locked for safety purposes as Resident 30 demonstrated he could move his bed freely.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 9:25 AM, Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN 1) stated if a bed was
unlocked residents can fall and get hurt. RN 1 also stated a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or anyone
who sees a bed unlocked or moving should lock it.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 9:51 AM, CNA 2 stated, If the bed isn't locked, they (a resident) can fall
and break a bone.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated for the safety of
residents at risk for falls, their bed should be locked. The DON also stated, if it was not locked, The bed
could move, he could drop things, and there's potential for falls.

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 prevent kitchen staff from storing
personal food items in the main kitchen refrigerator. This failure had the potential for resident to be at risk
for food borne illness (caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins).
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 8:14 AM, with the facility's [NAME] in the

F 0842
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow it's policy and procedure titled, Change in Resident's
Condition or Status, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 28). This deficient practice had the
potential to lead to inadequate care of Resident 28.
Findings:
A review of Resident 28's admission record (Face Sheet) indicated the facility originally admitted Resident
28 on 4/1/2022, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including muscle weakness, and Alzheimer's
disease (a physical illness which damages a person's brain).
A review of the Physician's Order dated 12/7/2023 at 1 PM, indicated to transfer Resident 28 to the General
Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) due to a productive cough (when you have a cough that produces mucus
or phlegm [sputum]) and severe congestion (stuffy nose), with poor oral intake, and shortness of breath.
A review of Resident 28's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated
12/26/2023, indicated Resident 28 had moderately impaired cognition (decisions poor, cues/supervision
required). The MDS indicated Resident 28 required maximum assistance for toileting hygiene,
showering/bathing, and lower body dressing.
A review of Resident 28's SBAR Communication Forms on 1/9/2024 at 2 PM, indicated on 12/7/2023, there
was no SBAR communication form completed when Resident 28 had a change of condition and was
transferred to GACH 1.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/9/2024 at 2:33 PM, with Registered Nurse Supervisor
1 (RN 1), Resident 28's SBAR communication forms were reviewed. RN 1 stated, On 12/7/2023, Resident
28 was coughing, and mentioned he wanted to go to the hospital. Accordingly, we transferred him to the
hospital. RN 1 stated it was required to initiate an SBAR communication form upon residents' transfer to the
hospital when there was a change of condition. RN 1 stated the SBAR communication form was not
completed for Resident 28 on 12/7/2023, when he was transferred to GACH 1.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated licensed staff were
required to complete a SBAR communication form when there was a change of condition for a resident.
The DON stated the potential outcome was an incomplete medical record for the residents.
A review of facility's policy and procedure titled, Change in Resident's Condition or Status, revised 12/2023,
indicated prior to notifying the physician or healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations
and gather relevant and pertinent information for the provider, including information prompted by the
interact SBAR communication form. The nurse will record in the resident's medical record information
relative to changes in the resident's medical/mental condition or status.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment for three of eleven sampled
residents (Resident 1, 12 and 20) by not cleaning the residents bed controls which had visible dirt. This
deficient practice had the potential for cross contamination and for the resident to get an infection.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 20's admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 20 on 4/30/2020, with
diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness on
one side of the body) affecting the left non-dominant side.
A review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 12/29/2023, indicated Resident 20 had intact cognition (able to make decisions of daily living), was
dependent for showering and required substantial assistance for personal hygiene and toileting.
During an observation on 1/8/2024 at 8:45 AM in Resident 20's room, Resident 20's bed control had white
tape wrapped at the connection between the control and the cord and loosely wrapped tape around the
perimeter and back of the control. The tape had visible debris and hair stuck on it and the base of the
control had sticky debris and dirt. The cord of the control was wrapped around the side rail and also had
sticky debris, hair, and dirt.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 11:30 AM with the Infection Preventionist (IP)
in Resident 20's room, Resident 20's bed control was observed. The IP stated, It shouldn't look like that. It
is visibly dirty. The resident could get a potential infection from the bacteria on the tape.
b. A review of Resident 1's admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 11/24/2017, with
diagnoses including dementia (a gradual decline in mental ability, usually caused by a brain disease).
A review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognitive
(conscious mental activities such as thinking, remembering, reasoning) skills for daily decision making, was
dependent in toileting, showering, and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 1/8/2024 at 9:30 AM in Resident 1's room, Resident 1's bed control had white
tape wrapped at the connection between the cord and the behind the control. The tape around the control
had sticky, visible debris. The depressions around the buttons of the control was covered in debris around
the edges of all six buttons.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 12 PM, with the IP in Resident 1's room,
Resident 1's bed control was observed. The IP stated that it was not okay for the bed controls to have
visible dirt and the controls should not have tape because it was a source of infection.
c. A review of Resident 12's admission record indicated the facility admitted Resident 12 on 10/31/2023,
with diagnoses including generalized muscle weakness.

Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 12's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 12 had severe cognitive (mental activities
such as thinking, remembering, reasoning) impairment, and was dependent for toileting, showering and
personal hygiene.
During an observation on 1/8/2024 at 10 AM, in Resident 12's room, Resident 12's bed control had loose
gray and white tape around the connection between the cord and the bed control. The tape had sticky
debris on the unstuck areas of the tape.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 12:03 PM, with Maintenance Supervisor 1
(MS 1) in Resident 12's room, Resident 12's bed control was observed. MS 1 stated the bed controls
should not be taped and he would be speaking to staff to make sure the controls were replaced.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2024 at 12:15 PM with Housekeeper 1 (HK 1) in
Resident 12's room, Resident 12's bed control covered in debris was observed. HK 1 stated the control was
not clean and a resident could get sick if the controls were not cleaned.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3:03 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was unacceptable for
there to be visible dirt left on the bed controls and it was expected that staff clean high touch areas such as
bed controls to prevent the spread of infection.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Infection Prevention and Control Program, revised
October 2018, indicated an infection prevention and control program was established and maintained to
provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and
transmission of communicable diseases and infections.

Residents Affected - Few
Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure eight of 25 residents room
measurements (Rooms # 1, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 23, and 24) met the 80 square feet (sq. ft.) requirement for each
resident. The size of these rooms had the potential to not provide adequate space for resident care and
mobility.
Findings:
On 1/9/2024 at 10 AM, during the Resident's Council Meeting, there were no concerns brought up by
residents regarding the size of their rooms.
During the recertification survey from 1/9/2024 to 1/11/2024, a general observation of the facility and
resident rooms was conducted. The residents residing in the room with a variance application had sufficient
space to move freely in their rooms. Each room had beds, side tables, and drawers for each resident. There
was adequate room for the operation and use of equipment such as wheelchairs. The nursing staff provided
care to these residents and the room variance did not affect the care and services provided to the
residents.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 11 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility had a room
waiver for each room that did not meet the required 80 square footage per resident.
A review of Client Accommodations Analysis dated 1/8/2024, submitted by the facility indicated the
following rooms with their corresponding measurements:
Room# No: of Beds Total Square feet
1 2 149.6
2 4 383.3

A review of the facility letter dated 1/8/2024, indicated the facility requested a variance for the size of rooms
1, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 23, and 24. The letter indicated there was a distance of at least three (3) feet between all
beds which had proven to be adequate for residents getting in and out of bed, into wheelchairs or
ambulating. The letter further indicated there was ample space for nurses and residents to negotiate the
area between the bed and the bathroom. Wheelchairs were not left in the residents rooms, however, there
was enough space to move a resident in a wheelchair from bed to doorway without causing congestion.
The letter also indicated the health and safety of residents at the facility in these rooms were not adversely
affected.
