F 0625 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide written information on bed-hold (holding a resident's bed during hospitalization) for two of two sampled residents (Resident 51 and Resident 68). This failure had the potential to create uncertainty for Resident 51 and Resident 68 to return to the facility and return to their previous rooms. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/25 at 10:53 a.m. with Admissions Director (AD), AD stated in the facility's admission packet there was a form that discussed bed-hold upon admission. AD stated before the resident was sent out, the nurse should inform the resident and/or resident representative about a bed-hold. AD stated if the resident and/or resident representative decided to take the bed-hold, the doctor would order a seven-day bed-hold for the resident to be able to return to the facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/25 at 10:59 a.m. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 51's medical record (MR) was reviewed.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/25 at 11:10 a.m. with ADON, Resident 68's MR was reviewed. The MR indicated Resident 68 was transferred to the acute care hospital on 1/25/25 for evaluation and treatment of laceration (cut) to the scalp after a fall. ADON was unable to provide evidence that nurses provided information about bed-hold. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bed-Holds and Returns, [undated], the P&P indicated, All Residents and/or representatives are provided written information regarding the facility and state (if applicable) bed-hold policies, which address holding or reserving a resident's bed during periods of absence (hospitalization or therapeutic leave). Residents, regardless of payer (sic) source, are provided written notice about these polices at least twice: a. notice 1: well in advance of any transfer (e.g., in the admission packet and notice 2: at the time of transfer (or, if transfer was an emergency, within 24 hours).

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure sanitary conditions were maintained and equipment was in good repair in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when: 1. The dishmachine and ice machine manufacturer's guidelines were not followed related to lack of a floor drain and lack of proper air gap to prevent the backflow of potentially contaminated water into the clean water supply. 2. Floor sink drains related to a steamer and hand washing sink were not maintained in a sanitary manner and in good repair in which pooled water could attract pests such as insects and rodents. 3. Clean foodservice equipment was stored on shelves with scattered dried food debris. 4. The foodservice operation lacked cleaning with detergent prior to sanitizing of food contact surfaces. These failures had the potential to result in cross contamination and foodborne illness for 159 highly susceptible residents receiving food from the kitchen. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/25 at 10:43 a.m. with Maintenance Supervisor (MS) in the kitchen, a small outlet was attached to the front of the dishmachine with no floor drain located underneath or near the dish machine.
