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.

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.

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

**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.

**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.

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

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to supervise one of 24 sampled Residents
(Resident 41) while eating lunch in the dining room as indicated in the facility policy and procedure.
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.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of two sampled residents
(Resident 7 and 162) with a urinary indwelling catheter (tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine to a
collection bag) receive appropriate care, as indicated in the facility policy. 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. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 162 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident
162's diagnoses included neuropathic bladder (also known as neurogenic bladder, bladder does not empty
or store urine properly due to neurological condition), hyperlipidemia (high level of fats in the blood), and
hypertension (high blood pressure).

tool), dated 6/4/21, indicated Resident 162's cognitive skills for daily decision making was independent. 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.

a. Assess, identify the risk and evaluate Resident 7 who was recently readmitted from the General Acute
Care Hospital (GACH) due to dehydration (a dangerous loss of body fluid caused by illness, sweating, or
inadequate intake). There were no documented evidence of interventions such as monitoring signs and
symptoms of dehydration and monitoring intake and output implemented.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the resident to have fluid loss not immediately replaced
and lead to a recurrent dehydration.
b. Provide Resident 25 fortified diet, as ordered by the physician and adequate assistance during meals,
according to the resident's nutritional plan of care.
These deficient practices placed Resident 25 at risk for weight loss.
Findings:
a. 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.
A review of the Medication Administration Record, dated, 6/2021, indicated to provide Resident 7 with a
gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted into the stomach to deliver nutritional formula, fluids and
medications) feeding of Glucerna 1.2 at 65 cubic centimeters (cc) via pump with total 1430 cc and H20 (

b. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 25's was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident 25's diagnoses included type 2 diabetes (sugar imbalance in the blood) and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related
problems).
A review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 4/5/21, indicated Resident 25 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 25 required extensive assistance with one person physical assist for bed mobility and transfers.
Resident 25 required extensive assistance with one person physical assist for dressing. (eating?)
A review of Resident 25's Weights and Vitals Summary, indicated Resident 25 had a total weight loss of
9.46% from 1/6/21 to 6/4/21.
A review of Resident 25's Clinical Nutrition Recommendations, dated 5/13/21, indicated to change diet to
fortified diet (foods that have nutrients added to them, which were meant to improve nutrition and add
health benefits), mechanical soft diet (softer texture, which includes chopped or ground meats raw fruits
and vegetables used when there are problems with chewing and swallowing).
A review of Resident 25's physician's orders, dated 5/13/21, indicated fortified mechanical soft diet.
A review of Resident 25's plan of care, initiated 5/10/21, indicated that Resident 25 had a weight loss
related to variable food intake. The care plan goal was for Resident 25 to consume 50-75% two or three
meals per day. Interventions included were to supervise all meals, feed slowly, and document meal intake.
On 6/8/21 at 12:53 PM, during a dining observation, Certified Nursing Assistant 3 ( CNA 3) set up Resident

indicated to feed the resident slowly.
On 06/10/21 at 12:51 PM, during concurrent a review of Resident 25's dietary card and interview with the
Dietary Supervisor (DS), DS verified Resident 25's dietary card did not indicate fortified diet.
On 6/10/21 12:59 PM, during an interview, dietary aide 1 (DA 2) stated, he works in the tray line. DA 2
stated the tray line staff was responsible for updating the dietary cards when the nurses submit a slip with
new dietary order. DA 2 stated, the tray line staff would refer to the resident's dietary card while the charge
nurses on the floor were responsible for comparing the dietary card against the physician's orders to make
sure the resident received the right diet.
On 6/10/21 at 1:18 PM, during a concurrent record review and an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse
1 (LVN 1), she stated, she was not aware what to look for when it came to fortified diet. LVN stated, it would
be clearer for the staff if the dietary card specified a specific item to look for, such as, a soup or gravy. LVN
1 stated, she would check the tray to make sure that it was mechanical soft diet, NAS, no sweets, and
would also check the consistency of the liquids. LVN 1 stated, she will verify with the director of nursing
(DON) and come up with a better way of identifying the correct diet type, especially for fortified diets.
A review of the Facility's Policy and Procedures titled, Nutrition Impaired/Unplanned Weight Loss- Clinical

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 ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 15) received two liters of oxygen as indicated in the physician's order and facility policy.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 15 to receive excessive amount of oxygen, which
could lead to respiratory distress.
Findings:
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, progressive lung disease that
results in difficulty breathing).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/22/21,
indicated Resident 15 did not have a memory and cognitive ( ability to think and reason) impairment.
Resident 15 required total assistance with one person for toilet use, transfer and personal hygiene.
A review of the Resident 15 physician's order, dated 5/3/21, indicated to administer oxygen inhalation at
two liters per minute via nasal cannula (a plastic tube inserted into the nostril used to deliver oxygen)
continuously for shortness of breath (SOB) and or congestion three times a day.
During an observation with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2) on 6/8/21 at 10:12 AM, Resident 15 was
receiving 2.5 liters per minute oxygen via nasal cannula.
During an interview on 6/8/21 at 12:20 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Resident 15 should have
received 2 liters oxygen per minute if ordered by the physician.
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure, titled Oxygen Administration,/Respiratory Supply,
indicated a licensed nurse or nursing staff should initiate to apply oxygen per order of primary care
physician either via nasal cannula or mask with appropriate settings fans calibration.

Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders,
at each required visit.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the physician for one of 24
sampled residents (Resident 7) reviewed the resident's total program of care and documented a history
and physical assessment that included medications and treatments within 72 hours of readmission to the
facility.
The facility readmitted Resident 7 on 5/24/2021 from the hospital after the resident was diagnosed with
dehydration (a dangerous loss of body fluid caused by illness, sweating, or inadequate intake of fluids),
sepsis (severe blood infection) and acute renal failure (failure of the kidney to filter toxins and extra fluid in
the body).
This deficient practice had the potential for the resident and other potential residents not to receive the
necessary care and treatments timely.
Findings:
A review of Resident 7's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 7 to the facility on
5/16/2014 and readmitted the resident on 5/24/2021, with diagnosis that included 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 interview and a review of Resident 7's medical record on 6/8/2021 at 10:41 am conducted with
Medical Record Director (MRD)/Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2) indicated the following:
a. Resident 7's General Acute Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) record, indicated GACH 1 admitted the resident
on 5/20/2021 with diagnoses of renal failure, urinary tract infection (UTI, infection in any part of the urinary
system), sepsis (life-threatening response to infection that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and
death), and dehydration (a state of losing more fluids than one take in or fluid depleted).
b. Resident 7's History and Physical form contained a blank assessment and plan of care portion was
blank, but the form was signed by a physician.
c) No physician's order to monitor the resident for UTI-or monitor for signs and symptoms (s/s) of UTI and
dehydration that included monitoring the labs and the intake and output every shift.
In a concurrent interview with the LVN 2 on 6/8/2021 at 10:41 am, LVN 2 stated according g to the facility's
policy and procedure the physician should assess, recommend treatments, and plan of care within 72
hours of admission or readmission to the facility. LVN 2 stated the history and physical assessment form
was blank and not signed by the physician on 5/24/2021 when the resident was readmitted to the facility
until the investigation on 6/8/2021.

During an observation on 6/9/2021 at 8 am, Resident 7 was lying in bed asleep receiving Glucerna
(nutritional formula) via a gastrointestinal tube (a tube surgically inserted into the stomach used to deliver
fluids and medications). Resident 7 observed with bruises on both hands.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure, dated 8/2006, titled Physician Services, indicated the
physician would participate in the resident's assessment, and care planning, monitoring changes in
resident's medical status, providing consultation and treatments. The policy indicated the physician must
perform an initial comprehensive visit for all newly admitted residents within 72 hours of admission and
every 30 days thereafter.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to review and take timely action on medication regimen review
(MRR) irregularity and ensure the MRR was conducted for the month of 5/2021 for three of 24 sampled
residents (Residents 56, 32 and 27) as indicated in the facility policy.
a. For Resident 56, the physician failed to review and take timely action on MRR irregularity identified by the
pharmacy consultant. The MRR, dated 3/2021 indicated for the physician to consider increasing metformin
(used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by a type of diabetes mellitus [persistently high levels of sugar
in the blood]) dose based on tolerance and renal function. The facility also failed to ensure Resident 56's
medication regimen was reviewed for 5/2021.
b. For Resident 32, the facility failed to ensure the resident's medication regimen for 5/2021 was reviewed.
Resident 32 was taking two medications for the same condition.
c. For Resident 27, the facility failed to ensure the resident's medication regimen was reviewed for 5/2021.
These failures had the potential to result in possible use of unnecessary medications for these residents,
excessive dose, adverse drug reaction to the medication, complication and decline in the residents' status.
Findings:
a. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 56 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident
56's diagnoses included schizophrenia (mental disorder characterized by loss of contact with reality and the
environment) and major depressive disorder (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness
and loss of interest).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated
5/16/21, indicated Resident 56 was cognitively intact (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) for daily decision making. Resident 56 was independent for bed mobility and required
supervision with locomotion off unit (how the resident moves to and returns from off-unit locations- areas
set aside for dining, activities or treatment).
A review of Resident 56's physician's order, dated 4/6/21 indicated Metformin 1000 milligrams (mg) one
tablet by mouth one time a day for Diabetes.
A review of Resident 56's physician's order, dated 4/6/21 indicated Metformin 850 mg, one tablet by mouth
one time a day for Diabetes.
A review of the Medication Regimen Review (MRR), dated 3/2021, indicated a pharmacy consultant's
recommendation for the physician to evaluate increasing metformin dose based on tolerance and renal
function.

(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

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
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.
During a review of Resident 52's Care Plan untitled, initiated 5/18/21, indicated Resident 52 was on Zoloft
for major depressive disorder m/b verbalization of sadness and the interventions were to monitor or to
document for the side effects and effectiveness.
A review of Resident 52's Physician's order dated 6/1/2021, indicated for the resident to receive Zoloft
(medication to treat schizophrenia [serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally])
tablet 100 milligram (mg, a unit of measurement) by mouth one time a day for depression manifested by
(m/b) verbalization of loneliness.
During an interview on 6/8/2021 at 2:12 pm, the Case Manager (CM 1) stated that there was no behavior
monitoring ordered by the physician.
A review of the facility's Antipsychotic Medication Use policy and procedure with a revised date of April
2007, indicated antipsychotic medication therapy should be used only when it was necessary to treat a
specific condition and the physician and the facility staff would gather and document information to clarify a
resident's behavior, mood, function, medical condition, symptoms, and risks. The policy indicated the
nursing staff would document in detail an individual's target symptom (s).

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
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

empty and there was no date labeled of when it was initially opened and used.
During the concurrent interview, LVN 4 stated it was important to indicate in the medication bottle for when
it was opened and first used to determine if when to discard and replace the medication bottle. In addition,
LVN 4 stated it was important to make sure residents did not get expired medications or it was not effective
anymore since it was opened for a long period of time.

During concurrent interview with Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 4/11/2021 at 8 am and review of
the facility's policy for Storage of Medications revised 4/2007, the DSD stated the policy indicated the
nursing staff was responsible for maintaining medication storage in a safe manner and facility shall not use
discontinued and outdated drugs. DSD stated they followed the policy by ensuring the label of medication
when received from pharmacy indicated the expiration date and for the licensed nurse to label in the bottle
the date of when the medication bottle was first opened and used. The DSD stated if the medication was
discontinued, the licensed nurses were to remove resident's information and the medication must be
discarded in the appropriate bin. DSD stated it was important to indicate the date the medication bottle was
opened so all licensed nurses accessing the medication knows when it should be discarded and to ensure
residents are getting potent medication (effective medication).

Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the
food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
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.

Residents Affected - Few
An interview with the DM on 6/8/2021 at 10:50 am, to clarify her working status, DM stated she confirmed
she only worked about 3-3.5 hours a day for four days a week and she had been working like this for about
three years now. DM stated she knew kitchen needed to have a full-time dietetic service supervisor
credentialed through an approved program when registered dietitian was only working on a consulting
basis and not full time. DM stated RD consulted about one day a week.
A review of the DM's employee file indicated DM had been hired to work at the facility since December 1,
2015.
A review of facility's undated job description for Dietary Supervisor, indicated Dietary supervisor must be a
graduate of a state approved course providing 90 or more hours of classroom instruction in foodservice
management, and has experience as a supervisor in a health care institution with consultation from a
dietitian. One of the duties of the dietary supervisor included: develops and maintains sanitary practices in
the Dietary Department.

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.
During an interview with DW 1 using DW 2 as interpreter on 6/8/2021 at 8:24 am, DW 1 stated he was
trained by another dishwasher, but not by the DM or the DS.
During an observation on QUAT sanitizer concentration check on 6/8/2021 at 9:06 am, observed DA 1 used
the chlorine sanitizer strip to check QUAT sanitizer inside the red bucket and the test strip did not change
color.
During an interview with the DS on 6/8/2021 at 9:08 am, DS stated DA 1 should have used the QUAT
sanitizer test strip. After the correct test strip was used, the strip showed the sanitizer was at 100 parts per
million (PPM- unit of concentration measurement). DS and DA 1 both stated 100 ppm would

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
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. [NAME] 2
stated the pans were pureed pork and pureed green beans for lunch. [NAME] 2 stated he usually made
puree early in the morning then reheat it later closer to lunch time. [NAME] 2 stated he did not make puree
foods on 6/9/2021 regular entrée barbeque (BBQ) pork and sea greens, he stated he used five
pounds (lbs) of ground pork with four to five cups of water to puree six servings of pureed pork. [NAME] 2
stated he did the same for puree green beans, he added water to the green bean during pureeing then he
would add thickener to it when puree green bean was heated.
During an interview with the [NAME] 2 on 6/9/2021 at 8:45 am, [NAME] 2 stated he had been cooking for
14 years and this was how he always made pureed foods. [NAME] 2 stated he was trained when he first
started working at the facility, but kitchen managers did not train him again on puree food preparation.
During an interview with the Dietary Manager (DM) on 6/9/2021 at 9:31 am, regarding pureed food
preparation in-services, DM stated there was no puree in-service documentation. At 9:34 am, DM stated
the expectation for cooks would be making puree from the regular entrée and puree entrée
with liquids from the cooked meats or vegetables, not adding water to puree.
A review of facility's undated recipe titled BBQ Pork Rib, indicated puree would be made by placing cooked
BBQ pork rib portions needed into food processor and for every 10 serving, 10 pieces of 3.5 ounces of
BBQ pork ribs would be used.
b. During a test tray sampling with the DM on 6/9/2021 at 12:40 pm, the pureed green bean tasted gritty
with small chunks inside that required some chewing before swallowing.
During an interview with the DM on 6/9/2021 tat 12: 41 pm, DM stated she could also taste small chunks
inside and stated green beans should be pureed longer to a smoother texture.

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food brought to resident by family
members were appropriate, palatable (pleasant to taste), at a safe temperature, and was in accordance to
resident's therapeutic (meal plan that controls the intake of certain food or nutrients for the treatment of a
medical condition) diet for one of three sampled residents (Resident 51) as indicated in the physician's
order, care plan and facility policy.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of the Admissions Record indicated Resident 51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident
51's diagnosis included Cerebral Infarction (disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood
vessels that supply it).
A review of Resident 51's Nutrition Assessment, dated 5/4/2021, indicated a diet order of mechanical soft
finely chopped (diet that involves only foods physically soft, with the goal of reducing or eliminating the
need to chew the food) with thin liquids (liquids that become thin at room temperature).
A review of Resident 51's care plan initiated on 5/10/2021 and revised 6/10/2021, indicated the risk for
nutritional problem related to diet restrictions and recent stroke. Interventions included were to provide and
serve diet as ordered, which was mechanical soft, no concentrated sweets (NCS) finely chopped.
During observation and interview on 6/8/2021 at 10:40 a.m., Resident 51 stated, he does not like and does
not eat the food at the facility. Resident 51 stated, he preferred food brought by the family member. Resident
51 was observed with a Ziploc bag with two round items wrapped in yellow paper and a package of
crackers. Resident 51 stated, these were brought by the family member who comes to visit and brings food
every two days. Resident 51 had a jar of peanut butter and bread at bedside. Resident 51 stated he eats
the peanut butter and bread for his snack.
During an observation and interview on 6/10/21 at 12:56 p.m., Resident 51 was observed with a facility
lunch tray at bedside. Resident 51 stated he will not eat any of the food on the tray except for the coffee.
Resident 51 stated has a container of food with white rice , which the family member brought from home
yesterday.
During an interview and record review with Case Manger (CM) on 06/11/21 9 AM, she stated there were no
documentation in the clinical record or care plan to indicate food brought by Resident 51's family member
were appropriate according to the physician's order.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/11/21 at 1:10 PM, DON stated there was were
no documentation in the clinical record or care plan indicating Resident 51's family member was educated
about bringing in food in accordance to the physician's order.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Foods Brought by Family/Visitors revised 12/2008,
indicated family members should inform nursing staff of their desire to bring foods into the facility. P&P also
stated the Director or a Nurse Supervisor should assure food is not in conflict with the resident's prescribed

Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the trash stored in the
dumpster area was maintained in a sanitary manner.
Residents Affected - Some
Two of two garbage dumpsters were overfilled, uncovered, and cardboard boxes were scatter on the floor.
This deficient practice had the potential for harborage and feeding of pests.
Findings:
During an observation on 6/9/2021 at 7:34 am, two garbage dumpsters outside in the parking lot were both
overfilled. One dumpster lid was opened and another one was unable to close tightly due to overfilling
trash. There were five empty cardboard boxes scattered outside of the kitchen door by the parking lot.
During an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) on 6/9/2021 at 8:24 am, MS stated it would be
everyone's responsibility to keep dumpster lids closed, and stated the facility did not have a designated
staff to routinely inspect the cleanliness and environment of the dumpster area. MS stated whoever took out
the trash should close the lids after trash disposal. MS stated the cardboard boxes were trash after the
kitchen staff put away deliveries and could not be stored in the dumpster as both dumpsters were already
full.
A review of facility's undated policy and procedure titled Outdoor dumpster maintenance, indicated
Dumpsters stored outside the establishment shall be easily cleanable, shall be provided with tight-fitting
lids, doors or covers and shall be kept covered when not in actual use.
Reference
According to the 2017 U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code, proper storage and disposal of
garbage and refuse are necessary to minimize the development of odors, prevent such waste from
becoming an attractant and harborage or breeding place for insects and rodents, and prevent the soiling of
food preparation and food service areas. 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).

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
b. During an interview and a record review of the facility's MRR, on 6/10/2021 at 4:30 pm, the facility's Case
Manager (CM) stated the facility did not have documented evidence the MRR was done for the month of
May 2021. CM stated not being aware of the reason the consultant pharmacist did not do the MRR for May
2021.
During an interview on 6/11/2021 at 11:42 am, the DON stated the pharmacy consultant got access to the
facility's computer software on 6/8/2021. The DON stated the pharmacist consultant did not have access to
the facility's computer software during the month of May 2021 due to troubles with security permissions.
The DON stated the pharmacist could have done the MRR through paper, however, the resident's
medications were not reviewed for the month of May 2021.
During an interview on 6/11/2021 at 11:45 am, the facility's Assistant Administrator (AADM) stated the
facility had problems with the security permission for outside staff (including the pharmacy consultant staff),
the AADM stated the facility could have done it on paper but the option was not provided.
A review of the facility's undated Quality Assurance (QA) Process policy indicated the Quality Assessment
& Assurance Committee (QA&A) reported to the executive leadership and Governing Body and its
responsibilities included, identifying and prioritizing problems based on performance indicator data and
developing and implementing appropriate plans of action to correct identified quality deficiencies.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to:
a. Ensure the quality assessment and assurance committee (the specification of standards for quality of
care, service and outcomes, and systems throughout the facility for assuring that care is maintained at
acceptable levels in relation to those standards), reported to the facility's governing body (refers to
individuals such as facility owner(s), Chief Executive Officer(s), or other individuals who are legally
responsible to establish and implement policies regarding the management and operations of the facility),
at least quarterly as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure.
This deficient practice had the potential for the facility not to identify quality deficiencies and appropriate
plans of action that could affect the residents' wellbeing.
b. Develop and implement an appropriate plan of action to correct identified quality deficiencies regarding
the medication regimen review (MRR, is a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with
the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks
associated with medication).
The MRR was not done for 24/24 sampled residents for the month of May 2021.
This deficiency had the potential to result in possible use of unnecessary medications for these residents,
excessive doses, and adverse drug reactions to the medication, complications and decline in the resident's
status.

c. A review of Resident 33's Face Sheet (admission Record), indicated the facility admitted Resident 33 on
9/26/2020 with diagnoses of chronic obstructive disease (COPD, a long-term exposure to irritants that
damage the lungs and airways), respiratory failure (a condition in which not enough oxygen passes from
the lungs into the blood), and dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and
remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 33's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 4/5/21 indicated the resident was severely impaired for cognitive skills for daily decision making. The
MDS indicated Resident 33 required total dependence from staff for bed mobility, transfer, and walk in room
and toilet use.
During an observation and interview on 6/8/2021 at 10:47 am, inside Resident 33's room, Case Manager
(CM 1) stated Resident 33's oxygen tubing was touching the floor. CM 1 stated, oxygen tubing should not
be touching the floor because the floor was dirty. CM 1 stated the oxygen tubing should not be touching the
floor because resident might get an infection.
During an interview on 6/9/2021 at 3:13 pm and concurrent record review of the facility's policy and
procedure titled, IP Infection Control Guidelines for all Nursing Procedures, the Director of Staff and
Development (DSD) stated the policy indicated to refer to procedures for any specific infection control

the facility's Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID- 19) Mitigation Plan (MP, plan to reduce the risk of
spreading COVID- 19 in the facility) updated 6/9/2021, indicated visitors who entered the facility were
screened for fever and symptoms of COVID- 19. DSD stated the screeners were supposed to screen the
visitors who entered the facility.
d. During an observation on 6/8/2021 at 12:41 pm, the coffee cart in the hallway had one meal tray at the
bottom shelf. There was also several tray dome lids and coffee mugs on the middle and bottom shelf.
Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) poured coffee from the coffee cart but did not cover the coffee with a
lid.
During an interview with CNA 1 on 6/8/2021 at 12:42 pm, CNA 1 stated CNAs usually keep lids from the
residents' room on the coffee cart. CNA 1 checked the meal tray at the bottom shelf and stated it was a tray
that had already been eaten. CNA 1 also stated they poured coffee from the coffee cart but did not cover
the coffee mug since there were no lids on the coffee cart. CNA 1 stated they never covered coffee when
delivering coffee to the residents' rooms.
During an interview with the Registered Nurse supervisor (RN 1) on 6/8/2021 at 12:49 pm, RN 1 stated
anything brought out from the residents' room should not be placed on the clean cart. RN 1 stated lids and
cups from the residents' room and eaten food trays should be stored on a separate cart. RN 1 stated coffee
poured in the hallway should be covered when CNAs walked through the hallway to delivery meal trays.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement appropriate infection
control practices, by failing to:
a. Ensure Restorative Nursing Assistant 1 (RNA 1) donned (put on) protective personal equipment (PPE,
protective clothing, gloves, face shields, goggles, facemasks and/or respirators or other equipment
designed to protect the wearer from the spread of infection or illness), when he (RNA 1), repositioned
Resident 462 in bed in the facility's yellow zone (area where patients under investigation are allocated).
b. Screen five visitors from the Department of Public Health (DPH) for signs and symptoms of Corona Virus
Disease 2019 (COVID - 19, a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person).
c. Ensure Resident 33's oxygen plastic tubing did not touch the floor.
d. Ensure to follow safe/clean handling of the resident's liquid beverages.
These deficient practices had the potential to spread infections, including but not limited to COVID-19 to
residents, staff, and visitors.
