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 enhanced the
dignity of two (Residents 5 and 16) of 11 sampled residents when two staff members (Certified Nursing
Assistant 1 and Certified Nursing Assistant 5) stood and leaned over the residents during feeding
assistance with two meals.
This failure had the potential for Residents 5 and 16 to feel embarrassed and disrespected.
Findings:
A review of Resident 5's admission Record, undated, indicated Resident 5 was admitted to the facility with
a diagnosis of dementia (a chronic progressive disease marked by memory loss, personality changes and
impaired reasoning).
A review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care) dated
9/12/2021, indicated Resident 5 was rarely able to be understood, and sometimes understood others. The
MDS indicated Resident 5 required total assistance from one person for eating.
During a meal observation on 11/30/2021 at 12:30 p.m., in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 lay in bed with
the head of the bed elevated while Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) stood next to the bed and leaned
over Resident 5 to feed him lunch.
During a meal observation on 12/1/2021 at 8:05 a.m., in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 lay in bed with the
head of the bed elevated while Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) stood next to the bed and leaned over
Resident 5 to feed him breakfast.
During an interview on 12/1/2021 at 10:05 a.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated he had stood while he fed
Resident 5 because there was no chair in the room.
A review of Resident 16's admission Record, undated, indicated Resident 16 was admitted to the facility
with a diagnosis of myoneural disorder (a chronic disorder of the nerves and muscles causing muscle
weakness).
A review of Resident 16's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 16 sometimes understood others, and
was sometimes understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident 16 required total assistance from one
person for eating.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide a clean, safe, home-like
environment for:
Residents Affected - Some
1. One of 11 sampled residents (Resident 17), when Resident 17's bed moved whenever Resident 17 stood
up or sat down on the bed. Resident 17's room had a light fixture with a non-functioning bulb, the floor on
one side of his bed was not cleaned, and there was a pile of empty garbage bags on the floor near the
head of his bed.
2. Residents who used the shower room, when the shower room floor had an unlabeled hairbrush, with hair
in the bristles, and
a shelf in the shower room had the following items: a face mask, used gloves, four empty bottles of lotion,
one bottle of conditioner, and an empty box of disposable razors.
These failures resulted in:
1. Resident 17 feeling unsafe when transferring in or out of bed due to bed movement on the floor, having
difficulty reading from inadequate lighting, and feeling staff did not care enough about him to adequately
clean and tidy his room.
2. Residents who used the shower potentially having emotional distress from an unclean, cluttered
environment.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool used to guide care)
dated 10/26/2021, indicated Resident 17 had a diagnosis of heart failure (heart is unable to pump adequate
blood for the body's needs). The MDS indicated Resident 17 understood others and was able to be
understood. The MDS indicated Resident 17 had adequate vision and was able to read fine details
including regular print in newspapers/books. The MDS indicated Resident 17 required extensive assistance
from at least two people for transfer between surfaces and bed mobility, was unsteady during transfer and
walking with assistive devices, and used either a walker or wheelchair for locomotion.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/30/21, at 12:44 PM, in Resident 17's room, Resident
17 sat on the side of his bed, using a tablet computer placed on the overbed table in front of him. A
paperback book was lying on the overbed table. Resident 17's bed had casters (wheels mounted to an
apparatus or piece of equipment to make that apparatus moveable) on the legs. The bed was located
approximately 15 inches from a wall with a window, opposite from the door entry. A pile of translucent
garbage bags, which appeared empty, were located on the window-side corner of the room, near the head
of Resident 17's bed. The light fixture on the wall at the head of Resident 17's bed had one burned out bulb.
Resident 17 stated the light bulb had been burned out for about a week which made the room darker and
harder for him to read. Resident 17 stated he told Maintenance 1 (MTN) 1 that the bulb was burned out, but
the bulb had not been changed yet. Resident 17 said the garbage bags were not his but had been there
since he was admitted . Resident 17 adjusted his position while he sat on the bed and the bed moved back
and forth. Resident 17 then stood up, and sat back down, using an assistive device (a walker); the bed
moved back and forth when he stood up and sat down. Resident 17

stated his bed moved every time he got up or sat down on the bed which made him feel unsafe, especially
since walking was hard for him and he used a walker. Resident 17 stated the Housekeeper (HSKP) never
mopped the floor on the window-side of the bed. Resident 17 stated, the lack of mopping and the pile of
garbage bags left him feeling the room was not clean and that nursing and housekeeping staff did care
enough to pay attention to details.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/1/21, at 11:07 AM, with Resident 17, in Resident 17's
room, the light at the head of Resident 17's bed still had a burned out bulb and the garbage bags were in
the same position on the floor in the corner. Resident 17 stated his bed still moved when he got up or sat
down on it, and the window-side of the floor next to his bed not been mopped.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/2/21, at 10:28 AM, with Resident 17, in Resident 17's
room, the light at the head of Resident 17's bed still had a burned out bulb and the garbage bags were in
the same position on the floor in the corner. Resident 17 stated his bed still moved when he got up or sat
down on it, and the window-side of the floor next to his bed not been mopped.
During an interview on 12/2/21, at 1:40 p.m., with Housekeeper (HSKP), which translation by MTN 1, HSKP
stated, she mopped Resident 17's room. HSKP stated she had not mopped the floor on the window-side of
Resident 17's bed. HSKP stated she never noticed the pile of garbage bags on the floor in the window-side
corner of the room.
During an interview on 12/3/21, at 10:15 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated she
was assigned to Resident 17 yesterday and today. CNA 4 stated she was unaware Resident 17's bed
moved when he stood up or sat down on the bed. CNA 4 stated she always kept the bed's casters locked to
prevent the bed from moving. CNA 4 stated it was not safe for the bed to move because Resident 17 could
fall. CNA 4 stated she was unaware of the pile of garbage bags in the corner of the room and that one light
bulb at the head of the bed was burned out.
During an interview on 12/3/21, at 11:27 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated she
was unaware the light was burned out in Resident 17's room and was unaware Resident 17's bed moved
when Resident 17 stood up or sat down on the bed. LVN 2 stated needed repairs should be reported to
licensed staff who could inform MTN 1, or to MTN 1 directly.
During an interview on 12/3/21, at 11:21 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Resident 17's
bed casters should have been locked, as bed movement could cause Resident 17 to fall and be injured.
DON stated MTN 1 had inspected Resident 17's bed after notification of the bed movement and noticed
one of the casters was missing a wheel lock. DON stated Resident 17's safety and comfort would be
increased by repair of the caster lock, a new light bulb, removal of the garbage bags, and mopping of the
entire floor.
2. During an observation on 11/30/2021 at 10:29 a.m., in the shower room, a small shelf had the following
items: a face mask, used gloves, four empty bottles of lotion, one bottle of conditioner, and an empty box of
disposable razors. An unlabeled hairbrush, with hair in the bristles, was lying on the shower floor.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/30/2021 at 10:45 a.m., with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 1 (LVN 1), in the shower room, LVN 1 confirmed the used hairbrush was on the shower floor and the
shelf contained used gloves, a face mask, empty bottles of lotion, a bottle of conditioner, and an empty box
of disposable razors. LVN 1 stated staff were not supposed to the items in the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide fingernail trimming and/or facial hair
removal for three of 11 sampled residents (Residents 9, 19 and 5) who were unable to perform personal
grooming.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures resulted in Residents 9, 19, and 5 appearing ungroomed, and had the potential for a
reasonable person to feel a diminished sense of self-esteem; the ragged nails also had the potential to
cause injury from scratches or skin tears.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 19's admission Record, undated, indicated Resident 19 was admitted in June 2021
with a diagnosis of dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly,
communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality).
A review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool used to guide care) dated
10/29/2021, indicated Resident 19 was sometimes able to be understood, and sometimes understood
others. The MDS indicated Resident 19 required total physical assistance from at least one person for
personal hygiene (activities such as shaving, hair brushing, hand washing, etc.).
During an observation on 11/30/2021 at 10:45 a.m., Resident 19 lay in bed with her arms on top of the bed
linens. Resident 19's fingernails extended beyond the length of her fingertips and had dark brown
substances beneath the fingernail tips. Resident 19 had visible white hairs on her chin.
2. A review of Resident 9's admission Record, undated, indicated Resident 9 was admitted in 2015 with a
diagnosis of dementia with behavioral disturbance.
A review of Resident 9's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 9 was sometimes able to be understood,
and sometimes understood others. The MDS indicated Resident 19 required extensive physical assistance
from at least one person for personal hygiene.
During an observation on 11/30/21 at 11:25 a.m., Resident 9 sat on the edge of her bed. Resident 9's
fingernails extended beyond the length of her fingertips had jagged edges with dark substances beneath
the fingernail tips. Resident 9 had visible white facial hairs above her upper lip and chin.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/1/21 at 10:30 a.m., in Resident 9's room, with
Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2), CNA 2 stated Resident 9's fingernails should be trimmed and
cleaned because they were long and dirty. CNA 2 stated Resident 9's upper lip and chin hairs needed to be
shaved.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/1/21 at 11:45 a.m., in Resident 19's room, the Activity
Director (AD) assisted Resident 19 with eating her lunch. The AD stated Resident 19 needed her
fingernails trimmed and cleaned and her chin hairs shaved.
During an interview on 12/1/21 at 1:00 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she
expected the nursing staff to provide fingernail care to the residents with daily cleaning and trimming as
needed.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to:
1. Ensure one of (Resident 179) of 11 sampled residents received four medications as ordered by the
physician.
2. Ensure expired medications were not available for resident use when one expired intravenous antibiotic
(ertapenem) and one expired influenza vaccine were stored in the medication room refrigerator.
These failures had the potential for:
1. Resident 179 to not receive medications as needed for therapeutic effect, or adverse effects if
medications were administered too closely together.
2. A residents to receive expired, less effective medications.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 179's admission Record, undated, indicated an admission date of 11/29/2021 with
diagnoses of heart failure (heart is unable to pump enough blood for the body's needs) and dementia (a
brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities).
A review of Resident 179's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated November 2021, indicated
Resident 179 had the following medications ordered for administration at 9 a.m.: one tablet of amlodipine
for high blood pressure, one tablet of bumetanide for heart failure, one tablet aspirin for stroke prevention,
two tablets bismuth for prophylactic treatment of infection with the bacteria Heliobacter Pylori (a stomach
infection).
During an observation and concurrent interview on 11/30/2021 at 10:08 a.m., in Resident 179's room, was
an overbed table at Resident 179's bedside. On top of the overbed table was a medication cup containing
three white tablets and 4 pink tablet halves. Resident 179 stated the cups contained his medications and he
did not want to take them.
During an interview on 11/30/2021 at 10:20 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated
Resident 179 had not wanted to take his 9 a.m. medications when she had offered them earlier, so she had
left them on the overbed table for Resident 179 to take later. LVN 1 stated Resident 179 had not been
evaluated for his ability to safely self-administer medications as he had just been admitted the previous day.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (PNP) titled, Medication Administration General Guidelines,
dated 2007, indicated, Medications are to be administered at the time they are prepared. The person who
prepares the dose for administration is the person who administers the dose Medications are administered
within 60 minutes of scheduled time .Residents are allowed to self-administer medications when specifically
authorized by the prescriber, the nursing care center's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), and in accordance with

Nurse 1 (LVN 1), of the medication room refrigerator contents, LVN 1 confirmed the medication room
refrigerator had one vial of influenza vaccine, opened date of 9/29/2021; and one ertapenem (antibiotic)
intravenous infusion bag (medication delivered by infusion through a tube inserted directly into a vein),
expiration date of 11/14/2021 at 5 p.m. LVN 1 stated the influenza vaccine expired 28 days after the vial
was opened on 9/29/21, and all expired medication should be discarded.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 12/1/2021 at 1:05 p.m., with the Director of Nurses (DON), the DON stated she was
responsible for discarding expired medications but had been too busy to do so.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (PNP) titled, Discarding and Destroying Medications, revised
April 2019, indicated, Medications will be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local regulations
governing management of non-hazardous pharmaceuticals, hazardous waste and controlled substances.
A review of California Code of Regulations Title 22 §72357 (l) indicated, Drugs shall not be kept in

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the pharmacist's medication regimen
review (MRR) was promptly acted upon for one (Residents 5) of 11 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for delayed treatment and increased risk of adverse side effects for Residents
5.
Findings:
A review of Resident 5's admission Record undated, indicated Resident 5 was admitted to the facility with a
diagnosis of dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and
perform daily activities).
A review of the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP) Medication Regimen Review (MRR) dated 10/29/2021,
indicated This resident has been taking Risperdal 0.5 mg since 5/18/2021. The recommendation indicated
please evaluate the current dose and consider a dose reduction.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 12/2/2021 at 11:05 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 5's MRR dated 10/26/2021, was reviewed. The DON stated she had been so busy she
had totally missed sending the pharmacist's MRR recommendations to the physician until 12/1/21, at which
time the physician discontinued the medication.
A review of the policy and procedure titled, Medication Regimen Review, dated May 2019, indicated, Within
24 hours of the MRR, the Consultant Pharmacist provides a written report to the attending physicians for
each resident identified as having a non-life threatening medication irregularity If the Physician does not
provide a timely or adequate response, or the Consultant Pharmacist identifies that no action has been
taken, he/she contacts the Medical Director or (if the Medical Director is the physician of record) the
Administrator. The attending physician documents in the medical record that the irregularity has been
reviewed and what (if any) action was taken to address it.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident 23) of 11
sampled residents was free of significant medication errors when Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) did
not follow the medication instructions to shake the Dilantin suspension (a liquid preparation of medication
used to prevent seizures) before administration.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in uneven distribution of medication in the liquid and prevent
administration of the ordered dose necessary to maintain Resident 23's therapeutic drug level (the
concentration of medication in the blood stream necessary to prevent seizures).
Findings:
A review of Resident 23's admission Record, undated, indicated Resident 23 was admitted to the facility in
May 2021 with a diagnosis of epilepsy (a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of
sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions, associated with abnormal electrical activity in
the brain).
A review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool used to guide care) dated
11/10/2021, indicated Resident 23 had a feeding tube (a plastic or rubber tube that is used to bypass
chewing and swallowing in a patient who is not able to eat or drink safely).
A review of Resident 23's Physician Order Summary Report, dated 12/8/2021, indicated an active order for
3 milliliters (ml) of 125 milligrams/5 ml Dilantin Suspension, through the gastrostomy tube (GT, a type of
feeding tube surgically inserted through the abdomen into the stomach) every 8 hours, for treatment of
epilepsy.
During an observation on 12/1/2021 at 8:40 a.m., in Resident 23's room, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2), Resident 23 lay in bed while LVN 2 prepared medications for administration. LVN 2 picked up the
Dilantin suspension container and without shaking the bottle, poured 5 ml of Dilantin Suspension into a
medication cup, used a syringe to withdraw 3 ml of Dilantin suspension from the med cup, and
administered the medication to Resident 23's GT.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/1/2021 at 8:50 a.m., with LVN 2, Resident 23's
Dilantin Suspension bottle label instructions were reviewed. The Dilantin Suspension bottle instructions
indicated, Shake well before each use. LVN 2 stated because the Dilantin was a suspension it needed to be
shaken before administration.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to sanitize the ice machine's ice bin at
the time of installation.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in resident food borne illness from contaminated ice.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/30/21, at 12:35 p.m., with Maintenance 1 (MTN 1), an
ice machine was located on a patio against the exterior wall of the facility, near the sliding glass door of the
activity room. The inside of the ice machine cabinet had a reddish-brown substance on the back and side
walls above the ice bin. The reddish-brown substance was removed from the walls by a paper towel. MTN 1
stated the ice from the ice machine was used in the residents' drinking water. MTN 1 stated the ice machine
was three weeks old; the facility had not previously had an ice machine. MTN 1 stated the ice machine
needed to be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination of the drinking water, but he had not cleaned the
machine yet. MTN 1 stated he would check for the manufacturer's recommendations on how to correctly
clean the ice machine.
During an interview on 11/30/21, at 1:40 p.m., with Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS), DSS stated MTN 1
was responsible for cleaning of the ice machine.
During an interview on 11/30/21, at 1:42 p.m., with Registered Dietician (RD), RD stated the ice machine
needed to be kept clean to prevent contamination of the ice.
A review of the ice machine manufacturer's manual, [Brand name] Undercounter Ice Machines, UG series,
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual, dated 03/19, indicated, The chart below is an overview of
the maintenance that the end user and service technician should perform, and the frequency. These figures
are the minimum required. A review of the chart indicated the end user was responsible for sanitizing the
ice bin at the time of installation.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain and implement infection
control measures for six of 11 residents (3, 5, 10, 19, 21, and 23) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) did not perform hand hygiene (wash hands with soap and water or
use an alcohol-based hand rub) between consecutive meal tray deliveries and set-up of meals for
Residents 19, 21, and 5.
2. The blood pressure cuff was not sanitized between the consecutive use of Residents 10, 3, and 23.
These failures had the potential to transmit infectious organisms and increase the risk of infection for
residents.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 12/01/21, at 12:20 p.m , CNA 1 carried a lunch tray into Resident 19's room.
Resident 19 sat in a chair with an adjacent table. CNA 1 placed the lunch tray on the table, a cloth napkin
on Resident 19's chest, took the covers off the food and drinks, and arranged the silverware on the tray.
Without performing hand hygiene, CNA 1 exited Resident 19's room and walked to the tray cart, took a tray
off the cart, and carried the tray into Resident 21's room. Resident 21 lay in bed, on his side, with the
overbed table next to the head of the bed. CNA 1 placed the lunch tray on the overbed table, placed a cloth
napkin on Resident 21's chest, took the covers off the food and drinks, and arranged the silverware on the
tray. Without performing hand hygiene, CNA 1 exited Resident 21's room, walked to the tray cart, took a tray
off the cart and carried it into Resident 5's room. Resident 5 lay in bed, with the head of the bed elevated
and the overbed tray across his upper torso/lap. CNA 1 took the covers off the food and drinks, arranged
silverware on the tray, and began assisting Resident 5 to eat.
During an interview on 12/1/21, at 2:05 p.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she washed her hands before she
started passing the lunch trays to residents and was sorry she had not performed hand hygiene between
serving residents.
During an interview on 12/2/21, at 11:03 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated staff were
required to perform hand hygiene between residents when passing meal trays to residents, to prevent cross
contamination and the spread of infection.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised
August 2019, the P&P indicated staff were to perform hand hygiene before and after direct contact with
residents and before and after assisting a resident with meals to prevent the spread of infections.
2. During a continuous observation of medication administration on 12/1/2021 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:25 a.m.,
with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 placed a reusable blood pressure cuff on Resident 10's
arm and checked Resident 10's blood pressure. After checking Resident 10's blood pressure, LVN 2
removed the blood pressure cuff and without cleaning, placed the cuff on top of the medication cart. At 8:18
a.m., LVN 2 placed the same blood pressure cuff on Resident 3's arm and checked Resident 3's blood
pressure. After checking Resident 3's blood pressure, LVN 2 removed the blood

prevent transmission of infectious agents which are spread by direct or indirect contact with the resident or
the resident's environment).
During an interview on 12/2/2021 at 1:08 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated nursing staff were expected to sanitize blood pressure cuffs used for multiple residents, with alcohol
swabs or wipes between each resident's use.
A review of policy and procedure (P & P) titled, Cleaning and Disinfection of Resident Care Items and
Equipment, revised October 2018, indicated, Reusable items are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized
between residents (e.g., stethoscopes, durable medical equipment).
