This survey cited 26 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment in three of 44 residents rooms (Rooms 313, 314 and 315). The privacy curtains in the rooms had brown and black stains. This deficient practice had the potential to result in an unsanitary environment, which may lead to wide spread infection in the facility and promote a non-homelike environment to the residents. Findings: During a concurrent facility tour with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) on 6/10/21 at 11:37 AM, the privacy curtain in room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed stained with a grey brown substance. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN 2) on 6/10/21 at 12:10 PM, the privacy curtain in room [ROOM NUMBER] had grey and brown stains. RN 2 stated the curtains were washed, but the stains remained and should be cleaned again. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/11/21 at 10:11 AM, the privacy curtains in room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed with multiple splashes of dried brown substance. DON stated, the privacy curtain should be replaced. A review of the policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Cleaning and Disinfecting of Environmental Surfaces, dated 10/2009, indicated the walls, blinds and window curtains in resident areas will be cleaned when these surfaces are visibly contaminated or soiled. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0606 Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to do background checks (a process a person or company uses to verify that an individual is who they claim to be, and this provides an opportunity to check and confirm the validity of someone's criminal record, education, employment history, and other activities from their past), for two staff (Licensed Vocational Nurse [LVN] 3 and LVN 5) prior to employment in accordance to the facility's policy and procedure. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to place the residents at risk for harm and abuse. Findings: During an interview on 6/10/2021 at 3:28 pm, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated LVN 5's date of hire was 3/3/2021. During the concurrent interview and a review of LVN 5's employee file, DSD stated LVN 5's Office of the Inspector General (OIG, identifies individuals or entities that have been excluded from participation in Medicare), search result was dated 4/15/2021 (after the hire date), and LVN 5's California Megan's Law (provides information on registered sex offenders) Website (a set of pages or information in the internet) search result was dated 4/15/2021 (after the hire date). DSD stated the search date indicated the day the background check was done and stated the background check was done after LVN 5 was hired and not done prior. During an interview on 6/10/2021 at 3:45 pm, and review of LVN 3's file, DSD stated LVN 3's date of hire was 11/18/2019. DSD stated they conducted a background check through OIG and the California Megan's Law Website but there was no background check included in LVN 3's file as evidence. During an interview and a review of the facility's policies, on 6/11/2021 at 12:38 pm, DSD stated the facility's undated Abuse (treat a person with cruelty) Policy and Procedure (P&P) undated, indicated the facility would provide a safe environment for each resident by screening potential employees prior to hiring based on verification and documentation that employee had no known history of abuse or other negative actions. DSD stated this was the procedure they were supposed to follow, and it was important to make sure the staff did not have any criminal background such as abuse prior to hiring to ensure residents were safe as well as the other staff's safety. A review of the facility's Background Screening Investigation Policy revised 3/2019, indicated the facility designee conducted background checks and criminal conviction (have been found guilty of a crime by a court or that you have agreed to plead guilty to a crime) checks on all potential direct access employees (with direct access to residents). The policy indicated background check and criminal checks were initiated within two days of an offer of employment and completed prior to employment.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement the individualized plan of care for one of 24 sampled residents (Residents 7) as indicated in the facility policy. Resident 7 did not have a care plan to prevent the recurrent dehydration (a dangerous loss of body fluid caused by illness, sweating, or inadequate intake). Resident 7's care plan to assess and monitor urine output, color, clarity, consistency and signs and symptoms of infection were not implemented. These deficient practices resulted to Resident 7 failing to receive necessary assessment, monitoring and interventions to prevent dehydration, bruises and bleeding. Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 7 diagnoses included chronic kidney disease (CKD, a failure of the kidney to filter extra fluids and toxins) and dementia (a progressive brain disorder that affects the thought process). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/24/21, indicated Resident 7 had severe impairment in cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making. Resident 7 required extensive assistance with bed mobility and personal hygiene. Resident 7 was totally dependent with staff for transfer, dressing and toilet use. A review of the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) record, indicated on 5/20/21, Resident 7 was admitted to the hospital with diagnoses that included renal failure, urinary tract infection (UTI, condition in which bacteria invade and grow in any part the urinary system which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters [tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder], and urethra [canal from the bladder]), sepsis (infectin of the blood)and dehydration ( a state of losing more fluids than one take in or fluid depleted). During a facility tour on 6/8/21 at 10:31 AM, Resident 7 was observed asleep with a gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted into the stomach to deliver nutritional formula, fluids and medications) feeding pump (machine) at bedside. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) on 6/8/21 at 9:32 AM, she stated, Resident 7 was recently hospitalized for dehydration. LVN 2 stated, Resident 7 should have a care plan to address dehydration to ensure intake and output was done and the signs and symptoms of dehydration were monitored and documented. LVN 2 stated this was important to prevent recurrent dehydration. LVN 2 stated she could not find a documentation in Resident 7's clinical record that a plan of care was developed. A review of Resident 7's care plan, dated 4/7/21, indicated Resident 7 was at risk for infection due to presence of Foley Catheter (urinary indwelling catheter, tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine to a collection bag). The interventions included for Resident 7 to be free of infection were to assess, monitor urine output, color, clarity, consistency and signs and symptoms of infection. During a concurrent record review of Resident 7's care plan and interview with RN 2 on 6/10/21 at 12:41 PM, she stated there was no documented evidence the care plan to assess and monitor urine (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056117 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 52 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 056117 B.

F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. 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 one of two sampled residents (Resident 39) an activity based on the activity assessment, care plan and facility policy. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential not to meet the residents' interest and activity needs, which could affect the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident. Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 39 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 39's diagnoses included epilepsy (seizure, a brain disorder caused by uncontrolled electrical activity which can result in convulsions, sensory disturbances or loss of consciousness) without status epilepticus (seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes without a return to consciousness), cerebral palsy (a disorder that affects the ability to move and maintain balance and posture), stress incontinence (inability to control urge to urinate), intellectual disabilities and osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease). A review of the quartely Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 4/9/21 indicated Resident 39's cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making was modified independence. Resident 39 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, and dressing. Resident 39 was totally dependent on the staff with toilet use and personal hygiene. A review of the annual MDS, dated [DATE] indicated activity preferences very important to Resident 39 were keep up with the news, do your favorite activities, and participate in religious services or practices. During an observation on 6/9/21 at 10:08 a.m., in the hallway, Resident 39 was upset and was crying loudly as the Activity Director (AD) pushed her wheelchair back to her room. Resident 39 stated she did not want to go back to her room. A review of Resident 39's physician order, dated 6/1/2021, indicated may participate in activity, as tolerated, and if not in conflict with plan of care. During an interview on 6/9/21 at 10:09 a.m., Resident 39 stated she wanted to stay in the dining room, but the AD did not let her. Resident 39 stated she liked being in the dining area and did not want to go back to her room. Resident 39 stated she did not want to be in her room because it was boring. On 6/9/21 at 10:10 a.m., during an interview, AD stated she brought Resident 39 back to her room because there was no supervision available to watch the residents in the dining room. The AD stated it was Coffee Time and staff were busy going around pouring coffee for the residents in their rooms. The AD stated Resident 39 did not require supervision in the room. A review of the Resident Activities Assessment, dated 10/15/20 indicated activity preferences very important to Resident 39 were to do things with groups of people, do favorite activities, and go outside to get fresh air when the weather is good.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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 the necessary care and treatment for two of 24 sampled residents (Resident 7 and 15) as indicated on the care plan and facility policy. Residents Affected - Few a.1. There was no documented evidence Resident 7 was monitored for the presence of bruises (reddish purple discoloration) on both hands. a.2. There was no documented evidence Resident 7's moisture-associated skin damage (MASD, skin injury characterized by the inflammation and skin erosion due to prolonged exposure to moisture and irritants such as urine, stool, perspiration and wound exudates [discharge]) on the left and right buttock was assessed and documented daily for size and appearance. b. There was no documented evidence Resident 15's MASD on the sacrococcyx (tailbone) was assessed and monitored for any changes in status. This deficient practice had the potential to result in lack or delayed care, which could worsen Resident 7 and 15's bruises and MASD. Findings: a.1. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 7's diagnoses included chronic kidney disease (CKD, a failure of the kidney to filter extra fluids and toxins) and dementia (a progressive brain disorder that affects the thought process). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/24/21, indicated Resident 7 had severe impairment in cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making. Resident 7 required extensive assistance with bed mobility and personal hygiene. Resident 7 was totally dependent with staff for transfer, dressing and toilet use. During a facility tour on 6/8/21 at 10:31 AM, Resident 7 was observed in bed asleep and with bruises on both hands. During a record review and concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) on 6/8/21 at 9:32 AM, she stated Resident 7 was receiving Pentoxifylline ER (medication used to improve blood flow in patients with circulation problems to reduce aching, cramping, and tiredness in the hands and feet. It works by decreasing the thickness of the blood) with the side effect of bruising. LVN 2 stated, Resident 7 should be monitored for bruises because of the medication as indicated on the care plan. LVN 2 stated she could not find a documentation that Resident 7 was assessed and monitored for the appearance and size of bruising. LVN 2 stated this was important to determine if the bruises were getting worse or better. During a review of Resident 7's care plan titled, On Pentoxifylline for Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA, death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired) Prophylaxis (prevent) - At Risk for Bruising and Bleeding Easily, dated 4/7/21, indicated interventions included were to monitor for development of bruise, bleeding from body orifice and careful handling and avoid injury.

Upon removal of diaper, Resident 7's right and left buttock were observed with skin redness and breakdown and were covered with white ointment. The DON stated, Resident 7 developed MASD due to bowel incontinence. The DON added to prevent MASD, the resident should be kept clean, dry and wound should be open to air to prevent moisture. Residents Affected - Few During a review of Resident 7's care plan titled, Resident Has MASD of the Left and Right Buttock, dated 5/25/21, indicated interventions included were to monitor site, condition of MASD, signs and symptoms of infection, redness, drainage, and odor. During a record review and concurrent interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN 2) on 6/11/21 at 8:47 AM, she stated Resident 7's clinical record did not have a documented evidence the MASD was assessed and documented for measurement and appearance to determine if the MASD was getting worse or better. b. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 15 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 15's diagnosis included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, which makes breathing difficult). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/22/21, indicated Resident 15 had no memory and cognitive (ability to think and reason) impairment. Resident 15 required extensive assistance with bed mobility and was totally dependent on the staff for transfer, toilet use, and personal hygiene. During an observation on 6/10/21 at 3:26 PM, Resident 15 was observed receiving skin treatment to the sacrococcyx area from Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1). Resident 15's sacrococcyx area was observed bleeding. LVN 1 stated, Resident 15 developed MASD due to bowel incontinence and prolonged sitting in the chair while in the Dialysis (process of removing waste products and excess fluid from the body) Center. During a review of Resident 15's care plan titled, Resident Has On and Off Skin Breakdown (MASD) to Buttock and Sacrococcyx Area, dated 5/1/21, indicated interventions included were to monitor/document/reports as needed any changes in skin status: appearance, color, wound healing, signs and symptoms of infection, wound size and stage. During a record review and concurrent interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN 2) on 6/10/21 at 3:47 PM, she stated there was no documented evidence Resident 15' MASD was assessed for the size, presence of bleeding or appearance to determine if it was getting worse or better with current treatment. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Pressure Ulcer/Skin Breakdown, dated 10/2009, indicated the facility will routinely assess and document the condition of the resident's skin. Per facility wound and skin care program, for any signs and symptoms of irritation or breakdown, immediately report any signs of a developing pressure ulcer to the supervisor.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. 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 offload (to suspend or take off pressure) left heel for one of three sampled residents (Resident 16) as indicated in the care plan and facility policy. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in the development of pressure ulcer (localized injury to the skin and or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence as a result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction) and complications, which could affect resident's total well-being. Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 16's medical diagnoses included high blood pressure and functional quadriplegia (complete immobility due to severe physical disability or frailty). A review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/26/21 , indicated Resident 16 had severe cognitive impairment (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making, with short and long term memory problems. Resident 16 was totally dependent with two person physical assist for bed mobility, transfers and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation and interview with the facility's Case Manager/Licensed Vocational Nurse (CM), on 6/8/21 at 11:52 AM, Resident 16 was lying on her back, on an air loss mattress (special mattress that distributes air to relieve pressure). There was one pillow placed under Resident 16's lower extremities, with the left heel resting directly on the mattress. CM stated Resident 16's left heel should not be resting directly on the mattress because it could result in a bed sore. There was a sign observed located on the wall of Resident 16's room, which indicated to offload the resident's heels. CM stated, the sign was meant to remind the staff to offload Resident 16's heels to prevent pressure sores. During an observation on 6/08/21 at 12:33 PM, Resident 16 was in bed on her right side, one pillow under bilateral lower extremities and the left heel resting directly on the air loss mattress. During an observation on 6/9/21 at 9:30 AM, Resident 16 was lying in bed, turned to the right side with one pillow under both lower legs. Resident 16's right heel was offloaded and the left heel was resting directly on the mattress. During an observation on 6/9/21 at 2:42 PM, Resident 16 was lying on the right side with one pillow under bilateral lower extremities. Resident 16's right heel was offloaded and the left heel touching the mattress. During a concurrent observation and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6) on 6/9/21 at 2:46 pm, LVN 6 verified Resident 16's heel was touching the mattress. LVN 6 stated Resident 16's heel should be elevated to prevent the development of bed sores.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to maintain or improve the highest level of range of motion (ROM, the full movement potential of a joint) for one of five sampled Residents (Resident 19) as indicated in the facility policy. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 19 to experience a deterioration of the contracture (deformity from permanent shortening of muscle, tendon, or scar tissue) of the right hand. Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 19 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 19's diagnoses included hemiplegia (loss of muscle movement on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness of one side of the body) following cerebrovascular disease (conditions caused by problems that affect the blood supply to the brain) affecting unspecified side and encephalopathy (disease, damage, or malfunction of the brain manifested by an altered mental state sometimes accompanied by physical changes). A review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive standardized assessment and screening tool), dated 3/29/21 indicated Resident 19's was independent with cognitive skills (thinking and memory skills) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 19 had functional limitations in range of motion in both lower extremities and one side of the upper extremity. Resident 19 required extensive assistance with dressing and was totally dependent on the staff for bed mobility, transfer, eating and personal hygiene. During an observation, on 6/08/21, at 11:09 AM, Resident 19 was unable to stretch open his fingers of his right hand from a closed fist position. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 6/9/21, at 1:35 PM, Restorative Nurse Assistant 1 (RNA, nursing aide program that helps residents maintain their function and joint mobility) placed a rolled-up wash towel within the grip of resident 19's right hand. Resident 19 stated his fingers have been closed shut for a long time. During a review of Resident 19's Physical Therapy (PT, profession with an established theoretical and scientific base and widespread clinical applications in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) Evaluation dated, 11/19/20, it indicated moderate ROM deficits with all extremities with active ROM. During a review of Resident 19's Discharge summary, dated [DATE], it indicated moderate to severe ROM deficits with all extremities especially with right upper extremity. During an interview, on 6/11/21, at 9:20 AM, PT 1 stated he should have recommended a splint be applied to Resident 19's right hand to prevent the contracture from deteriorating. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Functional Impairment, dated 10/2010, P&P indicated in conjunction with the physician and staff, therapists will propose a rehabilitation of restorative care plan that provides an appropriate intensity, frequency and duration of (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056117 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 52 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 056117 B.

This deficient practice had the potential for the resident not to receive immediate care in an event of accidental aspiration (inhalation of food and fluid that could lead to choking or infection of the lungs). Findings: A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of senile degeneration of the brain (a progressive decline in memory and thought process due to aging). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) a resident assessment and care-screening tool, dated 3/2/21, indicated Resident 41 was moderately impaired with cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. Resident 41 required supervision (oversight, encouragement or cuing) with one-person assistance with eating. During a dining observation on 6/8/21 at 12:45 PM, Resident 41 was observed eating lunch in the dining room without staff supervision. There were also four other residents sitting in the dining room who just completed eating lunch. During an interview with the Activity Director (AD) on 6/8/21 at 12:55 PM, AD stated she was not able to supervise and monitor the residents in the dining room because she had to take a Resident back to the room. AD stated there were no other staff who could monitor the Residents in the dining room. During an interview with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) on 6/11/21 at 9:40 AM, RN 2 stated Resident 41 should have been monitored while eating to prevent accidents and for staff to assist during emergency such as aspiration. A review of the policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents,dated 12/2007, indicated the facility will strive to make the environment as free from accident hazard as possible. P&P indicated implementing interventions to reduce accident risks and hazards shall include communicating specific interventions to all relevant staff, assigning responsibility for carrying out interventions and ensuring that interventions are implemented.

Residents 7 and 162 were not assessed and monitored for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI, condition in which bacteria invade and grow in any part the urinary system which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters [tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder], and urethra [canal from the bladder]). This deficient practice had the potential to result in delayed or no treatment for UTI, which could lead to sepsis (severe life threatening infection). Findings: a. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 7's diagnosis included chronic kidney disease (CKD, failure of the kidney to filter extra fluids and toxins) and history of UTI. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/24/21, indicated Resident 7 had severe impairment in cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making. Resident 7 required one person-extensive assistance with personal hygiene and toilet use. During an observation on 6/9/21 at 10:59 AM, Resident 7 was asleep with a urinary indwelling catheter bag hanging on the side of his bed. A review of the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) record indicated on 5/20/21, Resident 7 was admitted to GACH with diagnoses of UTI, sepsis and dehydration ( a state of losing more fluids than one take in or fluid depleted). A review of the plan of care, dated 4/7/21, indicated Resident 7 was at risk for infection due to presence of Foley Catheter (urinary indwelling catheter). Resident 7's plan of care indicated interventions to be free of infection included were to assess and monitor resident for urine output, color, clarity, consistency and signs and symptoms of infection. During a record review and concurrent interview with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) on 6/10/21 at 12:41 PM, she stated there was no documented evidence Resident 7 was assessed and monitored for the signs and symptoms of infection and the urine output, clarity, color and consistency as indicated in the plan of care. b.

The MDS also indicated Resident 162 required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfer, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 162 has a urinary indwelling catheter. A review of the care plan, initiated on 6/2/21, indicated Resident 162 has an indwelling catheter for neurogenic bladder. The care plan interventions included were to monitor/record/report to Medical Doctor for signs and symptoms of UTI: pain, burning, blood tinged urine, cloudiness, no output, deepening of urine color, increased pulse, increased temperature, urinary frequency, foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, change in behavior, and change in eating patterns. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) on 6/9/21 at 8:29 AM, she stated there was no documentation that Resident 162 was assessed and monitored for signs and symptoms of UTI. During an interview on 6/10/21 at 12:20 PM, Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff should assess and monitor the signs and symptoms of UTI if the resident has a on foley catheter. DON also stated it was important to assess and monitor for signs and symptoms of UTI because Resident 162 was prone to infection. A review of the policy and procedure titled, Urinary Catheter Care, dated 10/2010, indicated to prevent catheter associated urinary tract infection, the facility will observe the resident for unusual urine appearance such as presence of blood and color), resident complaints of burning with urination, tenderness and/or pain in the urethral area and report findings to the physician.

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 monitor one of 24 sampled residents (Resident 7) for the side effects of Pentoxifylline ER (medication used to improve the symptoms of a certain blood flow problem in the legs/arms with side effects that included brushing and bleeding) as indicated in the plan of care. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 7 to bleed and experience other adverse (undesired) effects of the medication. Findings: A review of Resident 7's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 7 on 5/16/2014 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of chronic kidney disease (CKD, a failure of the kidney to filter extra fluids and toxins), dementia (a progressive brain disorder that affects the thought process). A review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment and care screening tool, dated 3/24/2021, indicated Resident 7 had severe impairment in cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills and daily decision making that required extensive assistance with one person assist on personal hygiene and toilet use. During an observation on 6/8/2021 at 10:31 am, Resident 7 was observed asleep and with bruises on his hands. During a record review of Resident 7's medical record with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN 2) on 6/10/2021 at 12:30 pm, indicated the following: 1. Resident 7's Physician order, dated 5/25/2021, indicated Resident 7 received Pentoxifylline ER (medication used to improve the symptoms of a certain blood flow problem in the legs/arms with side effects that included brushing and bleeding) tablet extended release 400 milligrams one tablet via gastrostomy tube (GT, tube placed directly into the stomach for long-term feeding), twice a day for prophylaxis (prevention). 2. Resident 7's Plan of care, dated 4/7/2021, indicated Resident 7 was at risk of bruising and bleeding easily related to the use of Pentoxifylline ER, the care plan indicated the nursing staff would monitor the resident for the development of bruise, bleeding from body orifice, monitor and report abnormal labs. In a concurrent interview on 6/10/2021 at 12:30 pm, RN 2 stated there was no documented evidence in the Medication Administration Record, Treatment Record and the Nursing Progress Notes that Resident 7 was monitored for bruising and bleeding while receiving Pentoxifylline ER.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor the behaviors for one of three sampled residents from a total sample of 24 residents (Resident 52) for the use of psychotropic (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medication as indicated in the resident's care plan and the facility's policy. This deficient practice had the potential for inadequate monitoring for effectiveness, dose adjustments and adverse (harmful) consequences to Resident 52. Findings: A review of Resident 25's Face Sheet (admission Record), indicated the facility admitted Resident 52 on 2/22/2021 with diagnoses of major depressive disorder (mental disorder characterized by a persistently depressed mood and long-term loss of pleasure or interest in life, often with other symptoms such as disturbed sleep, feelings of guilt or inadequacy, and suicidal thoughts), diabetes (a condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), and hyperlipidemia (high level of fats in the blood). A review of Resident 52's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 5/11/2021, indicated Resident 52 had intact cognitive response. MDS indicated Resident 52 did not have any behavioral or mood symptoms and required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide safe storage of medication for one of 24 sampled residents (Resident 16). This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 16 to receive expired or non-potent medication. Findings: A review of Resident 16's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/31/2010 with diagnoses of ataxia (the loss of full control of bodily movements) following cerebral infarction (occurs because of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it, a lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off) and functional quadriplegia (complete inability to move due to severe disability). A review of Resident 16's History and Physical (H&P) Examination dated 3/25/2021, indicated Resident 16 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 3/26/2021, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired with her cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making and was total dependent (needs full staff assistance) with bed mobility (ability to move easily), eating and on personal hygiene (practices conducive to maintaining health and preventing disease, especially through cleanliness). A review of Resident 16's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 3/2021, the MAR indicated the Lactulose (stool softener) was given on 3/1/2021 and 3/7/2021. A review of Resident 16's Physician Telephone Order dated 5/4/2021, indicated Lactulose 20 gram (gm, unit of measurement) per 30 milliliters (ml, unit of measurement) administer 30 cubic centimeter (CC, unit of measurement same with ml) via enteral tube (food or medication taken through a tube that goes directly to the stomach or small intestine) as needed two (2) times a day for constipation (person passes less than three bowel movements a week, or has difficult bowel movements), was on 9/16/2020 and was discontinued on 5/4/2021. During observation of the facility's Medication Cart 2 (MC 2) and interview with the Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) on 6/10/2021 at 12:45 pm, the MC 2 contained Resident 16's one bottle of Enulose (lactulose) 10 gm per 15 ml with date delivered on 3/2/2021.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide sufficient dietetic service oversight when dietetic service supervisor (DS) was not working full time while registered dietitian worked on a consulting basis, as evidenced by lapses in the delivery of food services associated with staff competency (Cross Reference F802), therapeutic diet accuracy and following of puree recipes (Cross Reference F803 and F808), and food safety and sanitation (Cross Reference F812). This deficient practice could result in compromising the safety and nutritional status of residents through the potential transmission of foodborne illness, incorrect serving of physician ordered therapeutic diets, and/or decreased nutritional intake due to poor resident acceptance of pureed diets. Findings: During the annual recertification survey from 6/8/2021 to 6/10/2021, multiple issues surrounding the delivery of dietetic services were unmet in relation to: 1) The oversight of food safety, sanitation, and storage of food in the kitchen (cross reference F812). 2) The evaluation of dietary staff competency (cross reference F802). 3) The overall evaluation of food production in relation to therapeutic diets and puree diets (cross reference
F803 and F808). During an interview with the dietary manager (DM) on 6/8/2021 at 8:38 am, regarding kitchen supervision, DM stated the dietary supervisor (DS) was in charge of supervising kitchen staffs and she was in charge of meetings and paperwork. A review of the kitchen manager and supervisor credentials indicated that DS had a certification for food safety manager through national registry of food safety professionals, effective from 5/7/2019 to 5/7/2024. However, the DS did not have a certification from an accredited (officially authorized) dietetic service supervisor program or an accredited certified dietary manager program. The DM had the certificate of completion from Los Angeles City College for dietetic Service supervisor since 6/7/1991. During an interview with the DS on 6/8/2021 at 8:56 am, regarding DS role and responsibility of DS, DS stated he was a chef who worked the cook position here, but he was in charge of supervising kitchen staffs and he worked about 38-40 hours a week from Monday to Thursday. During an interview with the DM on 6/8/2021 at 10:23 am, regarding working status and hours on site, DM stated she worked full time for 32-36 hours a week, but she could not provide her hours as she did not clock in and out. During an interview with the Administrator on 6/8/2021 at 10:25 a.m., Administrator stated managers did not clock in and out, but he had written work hour logs from the DM for payroll for 2021.

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure kitchen staff were routinely trained and evaluated for competency related to their duties when: Residents Affected - Many a. Diet Aide 1 (DA 1) and [NAME] 1 did not know sanitary food storage policy related to storing scoop inside the bulk container(cross reference F812). b. Dishwasher 1 (DW 1) and DA 1 did not know the proper sanitizer test strip to use for the dish machine sanitizer and quaternary ammonium (QUAT, a type of sanitizing solution) sanitizer. DA 1 and dietary supervisor (DS) did not know the concentration strength of the quaternary ammonium sanitizer. c. [NAME] 2 did not follow standardized recipes when preparing pureed diet and was not evaluated for competency related to puree preparation (cross reference F803). d. Dietary manager (DM) and dietary supervisor (DS) did not have documented routine staff competency evaluation to ensure all kitchen staff were competent in their job related duties. These deficient practices had the potential to result in unsafe and unsanitary food production that could place 59 out of 68 residents in the facility who received food at risk for foodborne illnesses, and making puree food without following recipes had the potential to result in decreased nutrient intakes for 7 out of 68 residents who received the pureed diet. Findings: a. During an observation and a concurrent interview with DA 1 on 6/8/2021 at 7:58 am, there was a scoop inside the salt container and a scoop inside the thickener container. DA 1 stated she did not know if scoops could be stored in the container, DA 1 stated the cook would know. During an interview with [NAME] 1 on 6/8/2021 at 7:59 am, [NAME] 1 stated scoop should not be stored inside the bulk container; however, [NAME] 1 stated they always kept scoop inside the thickener container so the measuring scoop would not get lost. b. During an observation on 6/8/2021 at 8:23 am, to check dish machine sanitizer concentration when requested, observed DW 1 attempted to use the QUAT sanitizer test strip to test the sanitizer concentration in the dishmachine. DW 2 stopped DW 1 and provided another test strip. DW 2 stated he should have used a chlorine test strip to test the dish machine sanitizer and not the QUAT test strip.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure puree diet (composed of food of a pasty consistency: smooth, with no lumps or pips), was prepared according to the menus and standardized recipes when: a. [NAME] 2 prepared pureed ground pork and pureed green beans prior to regular lunch entrées were made and without following puree recipes. b. Puree vegetables texture on the test tray tasted gritty with small chunks and not smooth. These deficient practices had the potential to result in decreased puree food quality, different tastes from the regular menu entrée and had the potential to result in decreased food intakes for residents who were on a pureed diet. Findings: a. During an observation and concurrent interview with the [NAME] 2 on 6/9/2021 at 8:40 am, observed two pans of puree-like food products with a layer of water floating on top of the pan on the stove.

Improperly handled garbage creates nuisance conditions, makes housekeeping difficult, and may be a possible source of contamination of food, equipment, and utensils. In addition, storage areas must be large enough to accommodate all the containers necessitated by the operation in order to prevent scattering of the garbage and refuse. All containers must be maintained in good repair and cleaned as necessary in order to store garbage under sanitary conditions as well as to prevent the breeding of flies. https://www.fda.gov/media/110822/download (p. 172).
