F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 2. A review of Resident 61's admission RECORD indicated Resident 61 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses which included, acute and chronic respiratory failure (disease that can cause shortness of breath, anxiety, and confusion), muscle weakness, and polyneuropathy (nerve disease that causes a decreased ability to move and feel). Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 12/12/23, at 8:46 AM, Resident 61 was observed lying in bed with no call light visible. When asked to demonstrate call light use, Resident 63 attempted to reach his call light multiple times without success. During an observation and interview on 12/12/23, at 9:03 AM, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) confirmed Resident 61's call light was not in reach. The DSD obtained Resident 61's call light from underneath his pillow behind his left shoulder. The DSD stated the call light should be in reach for Resident 61 to obtain assistance when he needed it. The DSD further stated if Resident 61 could not reach his call light he could potentially fall or have unmet needs. A review of Resident 61's care plan, initiated 9/7/22, indicated, .The resident has self-care deficit with ADL [activities of daily living, activities related to daily care] functions .r/t [related to] weakness .Be sure call light is within reach and encourage to use it for assistance.

Resident 36's call light was on the floor; and, 2. Resident 61's call light was tucked under his pillow. These failures had the potential for Resident 36 and Resident 61's needs to be unmet, a delay in care, and to cause physical and psychosocial harm due to their inability to call for assistance. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 36's admission Record indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility in 2022 with diagnoses which included dementia (impairment of brain function including loss of memory (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055833 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 30 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055833 B.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food was prepared in accordance with professional standards of food service safety for 90 out of 99 residents receiving food from the kitchen when: 1. Pureed food was taste tested using the same spoon, 2. All food items for the lunch meal on 12/14/23 were not temped (process for taking temperatures of prepared food items using a calibrated kitchen thermometer); and, 3. The food preparation sink did not have an air gap (a break in the plumbing to prevent unsanitary water from flowing back into the sink) located under the food preparation sinks (where fruits, vegetables and other foods are prepared). These failures had the potential to expose 90 residents of a census of 99 to food borne illnesses (illnesses caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or beverages). Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview with [NAME] 1 in the kitchen on 12/14/23, at 11:15 AM, [NAME] 1 was observed preparing the pureed (blended food) food items. [NAME] 1 stated she always taste tested the pureed food items and was observed stepping away and retrieving a plastic white spoon. [NAME] 1 was further observed preparing the Barley puree, after obtaining the correct consistency, [NAME] 1 used the white spoon to taste test the barley and the placed the spoon down on the counter that was covered with parchment paper. [NAME] 1 was then observed preparing the first batch of pureed spinach and when the spinach was the correct consistency, [NAME] 1 used the same white spoon from the barley taste test and dipped it in the pureed spinach and tasted it. During an interview with [NAME] 1 on 12/14/23, at 11:33 AM, prior to [NAME] 1 pouring the pureed spinach into the tray for the steam table, [NAME] 1 was asked if she used the same spoon she used to taste test the barley. [NAME] 1 confirmed she was using the same spoon and threw out the batch of pureed spinach. [NAME] 1 explained she should have used a different spoon. [NAME] 1 further explained using a new spoon was important due to contamination. During an interview with the Registered Dietitian (RD) on 12/14/23, at 12:46 PM, the RD explained it was important to use separate spoons due to cross contamination (what happens when bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one object to another) and food safety concerns. A review of the facility policy titled, Proper Food Tasting, dated 2019, the policy indicated, .Cooks are required to taste all food prior to serving .Proper tasting procedures are followed to avoid contamination of the resident food .Proper tasting procedures include .In the two-spoon method, a large spoon is used to take a sample of food from the container .The sample is placed in a serving dish or directly into a smaller spoon, which is used for tasting .Separate spoons are used for each item tasted . 2.

During an interview with [NAME] 1, on 12/14/23, at 12:03 PM, [NAME] 1 stated she should have temped the barley and fish and she had not. During an interview with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), on 12/14/23, at 12:46 PM, the CDM confirmed all food items on the steam table needed to be temped to ensure the foods reached the correct temperature. During an interview with the RD on 12/14/23, at 1:54 PM, the RD stated the importance of temping the food was to ensure the food got to the correct temperature to prevent bacteria from growing and getting residents ill. A review of the facility policy titled, Thermometers, dated 2019, the policy indicated, .The cook will test the temperatures of all food, both hot and cold, just prior to serving . 3. During a concurrent observation and interview of the initial tour of the kitchen with the CDM on 12/12/23, at 8:21 AM, it was noted that the food preparation sink did not have an air gap. The CDM confirmed the food preparation did not have an air gap. During an interview with the RD on 12/14/23, at 1:54 PM, the RD stated an air gap prevented back flow of contaminated water into the food preparation sink, which would contaminate the food. The RD explained it was a food safety hazard to have a food preparation sink without an air gap. The RD further explained a resident could get food born illnesses if contaminated water gets onto the food. A review of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) document titled, Food Code, dated 2017, in section, 5-202.13 Backflow Prevention, Air Gap, the Food Code indicated, .During periods of extraordinary demand, drinking water systems may develop negative pressure in portions of the system. If a connection exists between the system and a source of contaminated water during times of negative pressure, contaminated water may be drawn into and foul the entire system. Standing water in sinks, dipper wells, steam kettles, and other equipment may become contaminated with cleaning chemicals or food residue. To prevent the introduction of this liquid into the water supply through back siphonage, various means may be used. The water outlet of a drinking water system must not be installed so that it contacts water in sinks, equipment, or other fixtures that use water. Providing an air gap between the water supply outlet and the flood level rim of a plumbing fixture or equipment prevents contamination that may be caused by backflow.

F 0880 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 ensure safe infection control and prevention practices with a census of 99 when: Residents Affected - Few 1. Safe infection control practices were not followed for cleaning and disinfecting a shared glucometer (a device used to measure blood sugar) in-between resident care for Resident 66; and, 2. Staff did not follow hand hygiene (cleaning and sanitizing hand) in-between resident care for Resident 57 and Resident 82, and Resident 72. These failures could pose health safety risks and spread of infection in the facility. Findings: 1. During a medication administration observation with Licensed Nurse (LN) 5 on 12/12/23, at 4:35 PM, in the facility's East hallway, LN 5 gathered the blood sugar measurement supplies plus a glucometer into the Resident 66's room. LN 5 then placed the supplies and glucometer on Resident 66's bed sheet, with gloved hands, LN 5 poked one left middle finger with a lancet (a sharp small needle) and squeezed the finger to get blood. LN 5 then soaked the test strip attached to the glucometer with blood to measure the blood sugar. Once out of the room, LN 5 removed her gloves and placed the glucometer on top of medication cart without cleaning and proceeded with Resident 66's medication administration task. LN 5 then placed the glucometer inside the medication cart drawer before moving to the next resident in the East hallway. In an interview with LN 5 in the East Hallway, on 12/13/23, at 3:55 PM, LN 5 acknowledged that she forgot to wipe, clean, and sanitize the glucometer after use. LN 5 then explained how it should have been cleaned and sanitized. In an interview with the facility's Infection preventionist (IP) in her office, on 12/13/23, at 3 PM, the IP stated the facility had two glucometers in each medication cart and nursing staff were to alternate use in-between care and clean the glucometer after each use. The IP stated in her training she emphasized the nursing staff to put the glucometer on a tissue to avoid contact with surfaces and use a wipe to clean and keep wet for 2 minutes. The IP stated the facility's approved sanitizing wipe had a two-minute wet time to kill all the germs. The IP stated the sanitizing wipe used for glucometer cleaning had no bleach (a cleaning chemical that kill germs in health care facilities) and they would use bleach if a resident had an infection called C. Diff (or Clostridium Difficile- a germ that causes a severe infection of the stomach and spreads very easily). The IP added there was no need for the nursing staff to use gloves when using the sanitizing wipe to clean and disinfect the glucometer or other shared resident care devices. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) in her office on 12/14/23, at 4:45 PM, the DON stated the nursing staff should sanitize the glucometers before and after use and alternate the two glucometers in the medication cart. The DON stated the facility used the purple top sanitizer wipe to clean and sanitize the glucometer. The DON stated the bleach wipe was only used when there was a C. Diff infection was suspected.
