Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an environment that
promoted respect and dignity for four of 15 sampled residents (Resident 18, Resident 22, Resident 8, and
Resident 12) when:
1. For Resident 18, Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) remained standing while feeding the resident her
meal.
2. For Resident 22, CNA 2 remained standing while feeding the resident her meal.
3. For Resident 8, Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) did not provide privacy during eye drop
administration.
4. For Resident 12, LVN 1 did not provide privacy during medication administration via Gastrostomy tube
(GT, a medical device used to provide nutrition and medication to the stomach for people who are unable to
swallow thru the mouth).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in diminished individual dignity and a loss of
self-esteem.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 18's admission Record, printed 11/15/23, indicated Resident 18 was admitted in
2021 with diagnoses of failure to thrive (decline in health and ability to live) and dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing).
A review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated 7/24/23,
indicated resident had severely impaired cognition and was totally dependent with one-person assist in
activities of daily living (ADLs), including eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/13/23, at 12:20 p.m., inside the resident's room, CNA
1 was standing next to the bed while assisting Resident 18 with lunch. CNA 1 stated she does not have a
chair but knew she should be seated to interact with the resident and to observe the resident with
swallowing.
2. A review of Resident 22's admission Record, printed 11/15/23, indicated Resident 22 was admitted in
February 2023 with diagnoses of dementia (memory loss) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

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, for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 26) with limited range
of motion (ROM, a joint or body part with limited range of motion cannot move through its normal range of
motion, also known as contractures), the facility failed to apply the ankle foot orthosis [AFO, boot(s) or
external supportive devices used on lower legs/feet to stabilize the joints to prevent contractures] to
Resident 26's left foot as ordered by the physician.
This failure resulted in Resident 26's unmet care needs and had the potential to result in worsening of left
foot contracture.
Findings:
A review of Resident 26's admission Record, printed 11/15/23, indicated resident was admitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses of dementia (memory loss), contracture of left ankle, hemiplegia (unable to move one side
of the body due to damage to the parts of the brain responsible for movement), and hemiparesis (muscle
weakness on one side of the body).
A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated 9/23/23,
indicated resident had moderately impaired cognition. The MDS also indicated resident had impairment of
the left lower extremity that required extensive assistance with bed mobility, toilet use, personal hygiene,
and total physical assistance with one-person assist on transfers between surfaces.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the prevention of
complications of enteral feedings for one of one sample selected resident who has a feeding tube at the
facility (Resident 12) when Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 administered the medication and water via
gastrostomy tube (GT-a tube inserted through the abdomen that brings nutrition directly to the stomach)
without first checking stomach residual (amount of fluid remaining in the stomach).
This failure resulted in Resident 12 vomiting after receiving the medication and water via GT, and a
potential for Resident 12 to aspirate (breathe in food or liquid into the airway).
Findings:
A review of Resident 12's admission Record, indicated Resident 12 was admitted to the facility with multiple
diagnoses including brain injury.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 11/14/23, at 9:00 a.m., with LVN 1, in Resident 12's
room, LVN 1 started to administer medication and water flush via GT without checking the stomach
residual, and Resident 12 started vomiting immediately after receiving the medication and water. LVN 1
stated she forgot to check the stomach residual before she administered medication and water which could
have prevented complications such as vomiting.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration, Enternal Tubes, dated 2007,
indicated, . Aspirate stomach contents with syringe. Check residual .

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview the facility had five residents (Rt)'s rooms (room [ROOM NUMBER], 2, 4, 5 and
8) with multiple beds that provided less than 80 square feet (sq. ft) per resident who occupied these rooms.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate space for delivery of care to each of the
residents in each room, or for storage of the residents' belongings.
Findings:
During an observation on 11/13/23, at 10:00 a.m., the following rooms and corresponding square footage
per bed were identified:
Room Activity Room size Floor area
1 Rt room [ROOM NUMBER].8 x 20.3 sq. ft 297 sq. ft (74.3 per bed)
2 Rt room [ROOM NUMBER] x 21.3 sq. ft 297.5 sq. ft (74.3 per bed)
4 Rt room [ROOM NUMBER].2 x 10.4 sq. ft 146.4 sq. ft (73.2 per bed)
5 Rt room [ROOM NUMBER].2 x 9.8 sq. ft 137 sq. ft (68.5 per bed)
8 Rt room [ROOM NUMBER].4 x 17.11 sq. ft 364.3 sq. ft (72.86 per bed)
During random observations of care and services from 11/13/23 to 11/16/23, there was sufficient space for
the provision of care for the residents in all rooms. There was no heavy equipment kept in the rooms that
might interfere with residents' care, and each resident had adequate personal space and privacy. There
were no complaints from the residents regarding insufficient space for their belongings. There were no
negative consequences attributed to the decreased space and/or safety concerns in the five rooms.
Granting of room size waiver recommended.
