**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the MDS for one
of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 69). This posed the risk of the resident not receiving an
individualized plan of care based on the resident's specific needs.
* Resident 69 had an order to apply splints to left upper extremity and bilateral knee. The facility failed to
code the use of splints in the annual MDS dated [DATE], and quarterly MDS dated [DATE].

On 9/19/23 at 1130 hours, Resident 69 was observed lying in bed with left upper extremity and bilateral
knee splints in placed.
Medical record review for Resident 69 was initiated on 9/21/23. Resident 69 was admitted on [DATE] and
readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 69's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 7/1/22, for RNA to apply
bilateral knee splints daily five times per week for four to six hours as tolerated and left upper extremity
hand splint daily five times per week for four to six hours as tolerated.
Review of Resident 69's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 7/1/22, addressing Resident's 69's
splints.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care
and services to ensure one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 25) attained and maintained the highest
practicable physical well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to coordinate with the contracted hospice agency to provide the services to Resident 25
regarding the plan of care. This failure created the risk of not providing the appropriate and consistent care
to Resident 25.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Hospice Services dated 1/2017 showed the facility should ensure the
hospice services meet professional standards and principles that apply to individuals providing services at
the facility, and to the timeliness of the services. Further review of the P&P showed when a resident
participates in the hospice program, a coordinated plan of care between the facility, the hospice agency and
resident/responsible party should be developed and should include directives for managing pain and other
uncomfortable symptoms. The care plan should be revised and updated as necessary to reflect the
resident's status. The designated IDT member should be responsible for collaborating with hospice
representatives and coordinating facility staff participating in the hospice care planning process for
residents receiving these services.
Review of the facility's Contract Agreement with Hospice A dated 7/1/17, showed the provider was
responsible for copies of the initial assessment to be completed by Hospice A's RN and the ongoing
assessments to be completed at each visit, the plan of care to be developed once the initial visit had been
made, and the scheduling of visits and hours the resident was to be seen and rely on the facility to inform
the hospice of additional needs.
Medical Record review for Resident 25 was initiated on 9/20/23. Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 25's physician's order dated 9/6/23, showed an order for a hospice evaluation with
Hospice A.
Review of Resident 25's physician's order dated 9/13/23, showed an order to admit Resident 25 to Hospice
A.
Review of Resident 25's plan of care failed to show all care plans were reviewed and signed by Hospice A.
On 9/20/23 at 1547 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
ADON. The ADON was also the facility's Hospice Coordinator. The ADON verified there was no
documentation of integration or coordination of plan of care from Hospice A for Resident 25. The ADON
further stated Hospice A nurse should have reviewed and signed Resident 25's plan of care.

Medical record review for Resident 72 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 72 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 72's fall history showed Resident 72 had an unwitnessed fall on 7/25/23.
On 9/19/23 at 0945 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1.
Review of Resident 72's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 7/25/23, under the category titled History of Falls,
showed the numerical score of zero to indicate the resident had no fall within the last three months. The
History of Falls category on the Fall Risk Evaluation form indicated a score of two showing the resident had
one to two falls in the past three months. RN 1 verified the inaccuracy in the documentation and stated the
score under the category of History of Falls should have reflected a score of two to account for Resident
72's fall on 7/25/23. The Fall Risk Evaluation score on 7/25/23, status post fall showed a total score of 13.
However, adding the additional two points would equal a total Fall Risk Evaluation score of 15 where the
higher the total fall risk score indicated the resident's higher risk for falls.
On 9/20/23 at 0922 hours, an interview and medical record review was conducted with the ADON. The
ADON verified Resident 72 had a fall on 7/25/23. The ADON further stated Resident 72's History of Falls
category in the Fall Risk Evaluation form should have been scored a two to indicate Resident 72 had a fall
within the past three months by including the fall that occurred on 7/25/23. The ADON stated accurate
assessment of the Fall Risk Evaluation was important in order to provide proper interventions and
recommendations to prevent future falls.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/19/23 at 0752 hours, with the IP in Resident 23's
bedside, Resident 23's oxygen concentrator humidifier bottle and cannula were observed to have a new
label dated 9/18/23. The IP verified Resident 23's oxygen humidifier and cannula were changed yesterday,
9/18/23 in the evening and should have been changed on Sunday, 9/17/23, because both the oxygen
humidifier bottle and cannula set should have been changed every week on Sundays.
3. Medical Record review for Resident 87 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 87 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 87's Order Summary Report dated 8/25/23, showed a physician's order dated 7/03/23,

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the nursing staff
demonstrated the competencies and skill sets needed to provide safe nursing care to the residents.
* CNA 6 failed to perform within their scope of practice when CNA 6 was observed turning off Resident 24's
enteral feeding pump prior to performing ADL care.
* The blood glucose test strips and control solution were not accurately tested with the Assure Platinum
glucometer (device used to measure blood sugar levels).
These failures had the potential to result in inadequate care and risk for adverse consequences for the
residents.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility document titled Certified Nursing Assistant Job Description, undated, showed the
general duties and responsibilities for CNAs are to perform assigned duties in accordance with state,
federal, and facility policies and procedures. Furthermore, specific requirements for CNAs showed they
must demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age-related needs
of the residents served.
Medical record review for Resident 24 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 24 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
On 9/18/23 at 1023 hours, a concurrent observation and interview with LVN 5 and CNA 6 was conducted.
While interviewing LVN 5 regarding Resident 24 in Resident 24's room, CNA 6 was observed turning off
Resident 24's enteral feeding pump. CNA 6 verified she turned off the enteral feeding pump because she
needed to pull up Resident 24 and provide care. CNA 6 further stated she should have asked the license
nurse to turn off the enteral feeding pump. LVN 5 verified CNA 6 turned off the enteral feeding pump and
stated CNAs were not allowed to operate the enteral feeding pump.
On 9/20/23 at 0834 hours, an interview with CNA 7 was conducted. CNA 7 stated CNAs or RNAs were not
supposed to touch the enteral feeding pump. CNA 7 also stated the RNs or LVNs were the designated staff
to operate the enteral feeding pump.
On 9/20/23 at 0840 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON verified the CNAs could not
turn on or off the enteral feeding pump and were to notify their charge nurse. In addition, the DON also
stated CNAs were not to operate the machine regardless if a license nurse was present in the resident's
room and stated only the RNs and LVNs could operate the enteral feeding pump.
2. Review of the facility document titled Assure Platinum glucometer, undated, showed to use the control
solution within 90 days (three months) of first opening. It is recommended that you write the date of opening
on the control solution bottle label (date opened) as a reminder to dispose of the opened solution after 90

Control Record for the blood glucose test strips opened on 9/18/23, showed the documented use by date
was 12/22/24, more than 15 months after the opened date instead of 90 days after the opened date as per
the manufacturer's instructions. For the control solution opened on 7/12/23, the use by date documented
was for 1/3/24, more than six months after the opened date instead of 90 days after the opened date as per
the manufacturer's instructions.
LVN 9 verified the use by date on the Daily Quality Control Record was the expiration date of the blood
glucose test strips and the control solution.
On 9/19/23 at 1209 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with the DON and RN 1.
RN 1 stated the test strips and control solution were good until the expiration date and the log was
documented by the night shift. RN 1 and the DON acknowledged the documented use by date was not
according to the manufacturer's instructions. RN 1 stated the LVN from the SNF pharmacy came to check
their medication cart once a month and must have missed that the test strip and control solution were
documented with the original expiration date.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the pharmaceutical
services were provided to meet the needs of one nonsampled resident (Resident 27) when Resident 27's
losartan (blood pressure medication) was not available on 9/15 and 9/16/23. This failure resulted in
Resident 27 not receiving the blood pressure medication for two days, which had the potential to result in
poor health outcomes to the resident.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Ordering and Receiving from Pharmacy dated 4/2008 showed
repeat medications (refills) are written on a medication order form/ordered by peeling the bottom part of the
pharmacy label and placing it in the appropriate area on the order form provided by the pharmacy for that
purpose and ordered as follows: reorder medication five days in advance of need to assure an adequate
supply is on hand.
Medical record review for Resident 27 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses including essential hypertension (high blood pressure).
Review of Resident 27's Order Summary Report dated 9/19/23, showed a physician's order dated 1/24/23,
for losartan potassium oral tablet 100 mg one table orally in the morning for hypertension.
Review of Resident 27's MAR for September 2023 showed to see LVN 2's progress notes for losartan
potassium for 9/15 and 9/16/23.
Review of Resident 27's Orders - Administration Note dated 9/15/23 and 9/16/23, showed a progress note
for each day stating the losartan potassium was not available.
On 9/20/23 at 0832 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2.
LVN 2 verified the above findings. LVN 2 stated Resident 27's medication ran out on 9/15/23.
On 9/20/23 at 0855 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated he called the
pharmacy for the refill on 9/15/23; however, he verified he did not fax a medication order form to the
pharmacy.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the side effect
monitoring of blood thinner medications for two nonsampled residents (Residents 10 and 68). This failure
had the potential to cause negative outcomes for Residents 10 and 68.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Adverse Consequences and Medication Errors revised April 2014 showed
the residents receiving any medication that has a potential for an adverse consequence will be monitored to
ensure that any such consequences are promptly identified and reported.
1. Medical record review of Resident 10 was initiated on 9/19/23. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], from the acute care hospital.
Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 7/9/23, showed Resident 10 had a history of medical
diagnoses of carotid stenosis and CVA.
Review of Resident 10's care plan titled At Risk for Bleeding dated 7/7/23, showed Resident 10 was on
anticoagulant therapy of Plavix (blood thinner medication) with the following interventions:
* Observe for presence of bleeding in urine, stool, nosebleed, emesis, etc;
* Observe for any complaints of pain of the abdomen, headaches, etc;
* Notify MD of coffee-ground color emesis; and
* Notify MD of any bleeding episodes or any significant change in general condition, presence of bruises,
etc.
Review of Resident 10's MD Order Summary showed an order dated 7/7/23, for Plavix oral tablet 75 mg
one tablet by mouth one time a day for CVA prophylaxis. However, the order summary did not show any
orders to monitor for side effects of bleeding for Plavix.
Review of Resident 10's MAR and TAR from 9/1/23-9/18/23, showed Resident 10 had been receiving Plavix
daily at 0900 hours, but there was no documented evidence of monitoring for the side effects of bleeding.
On 9/19/23 at 1143 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 10. LVN 10 stated the medications, such
as Eliquis, aspirin, warfarin, Lovenox, and Plavix were to be monitored for side effects of bleeding. LVN 10
also verified there was no MD order to monitor for bleeding and no documented evidence of monitoring for
bleeding, and further stated there should be one.
2. Medical record review of Resident 68 was initiated on 9/18/23. Record review showed Resident 68 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE], from the acute care hospital.
Review of Resident 68's H&P examination dated 7/13/23, showed Resident 68 had a medical history of

Review of Resident 68's MDS dated [DATE], showed Resident 68 required extensive assistance and/or
total dependence on staff with ADL care as well as the use of wheelchair for mobility.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 68's care plan titled At Risk for Bleeding dated 7/13/23, showed Resident 68 was on
Lovenox (blood thinner medication) injection with the following interventions:
* Observe for signs and symptoms of bleeding, such as tarry stools, bleeding gums, epistaxis, hematuria,
hemoptysis, vomiting, pain, and swelling of joins, elevated temperature, easy bruisability, and notify MD for
any;

*Observe for signs and symptoms of adverse reactions from medication, such as fever, pain, paralysis,
confusion, shortness of breath, elevated LFT, persistent bleeding or oozing from mucus membranes or
wounds, and notify MD for any.
Review of Resident 68's MD Order Summary showed an order dated 7/13/23, for Enoxaparin Sodium
Solution (Lovenox) 40 mg/0.4 ml to be injected subcutaneously one time a day for blood clotting prevention.
Further review of Resident 68's MD Order Summary Report did not show any orders to monitor for side
effects of bleeding for Lovenox.
Review of Resident 68's MAR and TAR from 9/1/23-9/18/23, showed Resident 68 had been receiving
Lovenox daily at 0900 hours, but there was no documented evidence of monitoring for the side effects of
bleeding.
On 9/19/23 at 1008 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated they monitored for
bleeding by looking at bruising on the skin and blood in the urine and stool. LVN 5 verified there was no MD
order to monitor for side effects of bleeding nor documented evidence of monitoring the side effects of
bleeding, and further stated there should be one.
On 9/19/23 at 1008 hours, an interview was conducted with the Assistant DON. The Assistant DON stated
there should have an MD order to monitor for the side effects of bleeding and documented evidence of
monitoring the side effects of bleeding.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 43) were free from unnecessary psychotropic drugs
(any drug that affects brain activity associated with mental processes and behavior).
* Resident 43 who had diagnoses including dementia (a disorder which causes a progressive decline in
memory and behavior that affects the ability to perform everyday activities) was prescribed quetiapine
fumarate (Seroquel, an antipsychotic medication) for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. There
was no documented diagnosis of psychosis prior to starting the quetiapine fumarate medication.
* The facility failed to ensure documentation of evaluation and rationale for increasing Resident 43's
prescription of Seroquel from 12.5 mg once a day to 12.5 mg two times a day on 10/4/22, and from 12.5 mg
two times a day to 50 mg two times a day on 1/30/23.
* The facility failed to ensure the non-pharmacological interventions were implemented prior to
administering and increasing Resident 43's Seroquel.
* The facility failed to ensure documentation of clinical rationale for a GDR clinical contraindication.
* The facility failed to ensure the MDS was accurately documented for Resident 43's Seroquel dose.
These deficient practices had the potential to place the residents at risk for receiving unnecessary
medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions.
Findings:
Review of the FDA black box warning for prescribing Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate) showed elderly
patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death.
Seroquel is not approved for elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Drug Treatment revised 9/2017 showed in part, the purpose
of this procedure is to provide psychotropic drug treatment for a resident with a specific condition as
diagnosed and documented in the clinical record. When their use is indicated, the facility should use the
least restrictive alternative for the least amount of time and document on-going evaluation of the need for
psychotropic drug treatment .Medication use is not the sole approach for behavioral intervention. Other
non-pharmacological interventions will be identified and implemented on the plan of care .Before initiating
or increasing an antipsychotic medication, the target behavior must be clearly and specifically identified and
documented. Monitoring must ensure that the behavioral symptoms are not due to environmental stressors
that can be addressed to improve the symptoms and not due to psychological stressors alone that can be
addressed to improve or resolve the symptoms. Additionally, the P&P stated for dose reductions, clinically
contraindicated means that a resident need not undergo a GFR if the resident's physician provides
justification why the continued use of the drug and the dose is clinically appropriate .the information must
be a part of the resident's

Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 9/19/23. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 43's Hospitalist Discharge Summary from the acute care hospital dated 8/27/22,
showed Resident 43 had a diagnosis of dementia. The Discharge Summary note showed Resident 43's
caretaker was unable to care for the patient as she is healing from an injury and thus skilled nursing was
found for the placement. Resident 43 was started on low-dose Seroquel to help with sleep with her usual
home medications for chronic cough.
Review of Resident 43's Discharge Medication List from the acute care hospital dated 8/27/22, showed
Resident 43 was discharged from the acute care hospital with the medications including Seroquel 25 mg
1/2 tablets (12.5 mg) by mouth nightly (one time a day).
Review of Resident 43's Physician Order Report showed an admission order dated 8/27/22, for quetiapine
25 mg 1/2 tablet (12.5 mg) oral for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff at bedtime.
* Review of Resident 43's H&P examination dated 8/29/22, showed Resident 43 had a diagnosis of
dementia and was alert but demented; however, the document failed to show a justification for Resident
43's Seroquel medication order. The H&P examination failed to show a diagnosis of psychosis for the use of
Seroquel.
Review of the Physician and Telephone Orders dated 10/4/22, showed a telephone order by NP 1 to
change to the quetiapine dosage to 25 mg 1/2 tablet (12.5 mg) by mouth every 12 hours for psychosis
manifested by striking out at staff.
Review of Resident 43's Psychiatry Initial Eval dated 11/26/22, showed Resident 43 was on Seroquel 12.5
mg every 12 hours for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. Seroquel was increased on 10/4/22,
because of episodes of trying to get out of bed to go home and calling out for people due to fear of being
alone. The family member said she wanted the current dose continued because it helped to calm the
resident. The evaluation also showed the family member said Seroquel was originally prescribed prior to
admission for insomnia (difficulty sleeping).
Review of Resident 43's Physician Order Report from January 2023 showed the following:
- The dose of quetiapine ordered on 10/4/22, was discontinued on 1/30/23.
- The Physician and Telephone Orders dated 1/30/23, showed an order by NP 1 for Seroquel 50 mg by
mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. The dose was four times more than
the previous dose taken by Resident 43.
Additionally, the Physician and Telephone Orders showed an order by NP 1 on 2/3/23 (four days after), to
discontinue the Seroquel 50 mg dose and changed the prescription to Seroquel 25 mg by mouth two times
a day for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff.
* However, review of the Psychotherapeutic Drug Summary for Resident 43 dated 8/27/22 through 2/28/23,
showed no episodes of Resident 43 striking out at staff during the time period. Further review of Resident
43's medical record failed to show available documentation of the justification and

an order for non-pharmacological interventions related to the use of the psychotropic medication.
Residents Affected - Few
* Further review of Resident 43's medical record failed to show any documented evidence related to
non-pharmacological interventions implemented.
* Review of Resident 43's informed consents showed an informed consent for the increase of Seroquel on
10/4/22. However, for the increase of the Seroquel dose on 1/30/23, to 50 mg, an informed consent was not
obtained until 2/5/23, six days after the increase of the dose.
* Review of Physician 1's progress notes for Resident 43 dated 6/23/23, showed to continue Seroquel as
prescribed and the GDR not clinically indicated. However, Physician 1 failed to document the clinical
rationale for the clinical contraindication of a GDR.
* Review of the MDS dated [DATE], showed a GDR had been attempted on 2/3/23. However, further review
of Resident 43's medical record failed to show any other physician or pharmacy notes related to a GDR.
On 9/20/23 at 1110 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9 stated Resident 43 was nice and
quiet. LVN 9 stated sometimes Resident 43 was confused but did not yell out.
On 9/20/23 at 1126 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated Resident 43 would start
yelling when she needed something and would call for the bathroom, if she was hungry, or needed to be
changed. CNA 2 stated Resident 43 always had a reason to scream, if not, she was sleeping and fine.
On 9/20/23 at 1157 hours, an interview was conducted with Family Member 2. Family Member 2 stated
Resident 43 was started on Seroquel in the hospital and worked well because Resident 43 was nervous
and could not sleep. Family Member 2 stated at one point, the Seroquel dose was too much, and Resident
43 had trouble eating her meals, so they had to lower the dosage.
On 9/21/23 at 0836 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 1, the ADON, and DON. The DON stated
before Resident 43 was admitted , she was put on the Seroquel for sleep; and they tried to discontinue it,
but Resident 43's family member insisted Resident 43 to take the medication. The DON stated the family
member insisted and claimed Resident 43 was taking the Seroquel at home. The ADON verified there were
no order or documentation of implementation for nonpharmacological interventions since admission 8/2022
for Resident 43, and RN 1 verified she inputted the orders for the nonpharmacological interventions one
year later 8/2023.
On 9/21/23 at 0927 hours, an interview was conducted with the MDS nurse. The MDS nurse verified there
was no GDR performed for Resident 43 and the date of 2/3/23, documented on the MDS was inaccurate.
The MDS nurse stated there was no note for a GDR recommendation.
On 9/21/23 at 1034 hours, an interview was conducted with NP 1. NP 1 stated his process for prescribing
psychotropic medications upon admission was to look at the residents' past medical history, past behavior
during and after hospitalization, speak to the family members, and evaluate available

records. NP 1 stated Resident 43 had disorganized thought and dementia and had dangerous behavior to
herself, which was getting out of the wheelchair. NP 1 stated he diagnosed Resident 43 with psychosis
upon admission. NP 1 stated to increase a dose, the resident would need to be reevaluated in person, and
he would review the last 24-72 hours of behaviors and write a progress note. NP 1 stated he e-faxes his
notes to the facility and could not provide reasoning as to why there were no progress notes available for
the increase of the Seroquel doses. NP 1 verified the informed consent should be done within 72 hours
prior to increasing the dose of the medication.
* Further medical record review for Resident 43 showed no progress notes available to show a diagnosis of
psychosis for Resident 43 until the psychiatric evaluation by Physician 1 on 11/26/22. There were no
progress notes available from NP 1 until 9/20/22, which additionally, did not mention any diagnosis of
psychosis for Resident 43.
On 9/21/23 at 1154 hours, an interview was conducted with Physician 1. Physician 1 stated he submited a
rationale for GDR not indicated on a form which clarified the clinical rational for clinical contraindication and
did not know what happened to the form. Physician 1 stated his progress note should be accompanied by
his GDR form and would follow up with the staff.
On 9/21/23 at 1552 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
SSD. The SSD stated Physician 1 had emailed the GDR form to her; however, the document was blank.
The SSD stated she asked Physician 1 if he had filled out the form, and Physician 1 stated no. The SSD
verified there was no document explaining why a GDR was clinical contraindicated for Resident 43's dose
of Seroquel.

* The facility failed to administer eyedrops as per the facility's P&P and aspirin (blood thinner) chewable
tablets as chewable to Resident 28.
* The facility failed to administer aspirin chewable tablets as chewable for Resident 27.
* The facility failed to administer Metamucil (fiber supplement) in accordance with the pharmacy label to

These failures had the potential to negatively affect the residents' health.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Specific Medication Administration Procedures - IIB6: Eye Drop
Administration dated 4/2008 showed the procedure as follows:

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the food safety
and sanitation requirements were met in the kitchen as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to ensure the kitchen staff performed hand hygiene during dishwashing.
* The facility failed to ensure the heavy-duty blender used for puree preparation was air dried prior to
storing.
* The facility failed to ensure the microwave oven was clean and free of food particles.
* The facility failed to ensure the cutting boards were in sanitary condition and with cleanable surface.
These failures had the potential to cause foodborne illnesses in a medically vulnerable resident population
who consumed food prepared in the kitchen.
Findings:
Review of the form CMS-672 Resident Census and Conditions of Residents completed by the DON dated
9/18/23, showed 82 of 97 residents residing in the facility received food prepared in the kitchen.
1. According to the USDA Food Code 2017, 2-301, when to Wash, food employees shall clean their hands
and exposed portions of their arms immediately before engaging in food preparation, including working with
exposed food, clean equipment, and utensils, and unwrapped single-service and single use articles; after
handling soiled equipment or utensils; during food preparation, as often as necessary to remove soil and
contamination and to prevent cross contamination when changing tasks; before donning gloves to initiate a
task that involves working with food; and after engaging in other activities that contaminate the hands.
On 9/20/23 at 0842 hours, an observation with concurrent interview was conducted with Dietary Aide 1
during dishwashing. Dietary Aide 1 was observed wearing gloves and scraping food from the dirty plates
and meal trays for dishwashing; and while wearing the same pair of gloves, Dietary Aide 1 was observed
handling the clean dishes. Dietary Aide 1 then touched the clean plates and cups with the same gloves.
Dietary Aide 1 verified the findings and stated he rinsed his gloves prior to touching the clean dishes.
On 9/20/23 at 0845 hours, the above findings were verified with the Dietary Supervisor Assistant. The
Dietary Supervisor Assistant stated Dietary Aide 1 should have performed hand hygiene and changed his
gloves to avoid cross contamination.
2. According to the USDA Food Code 2017, Section 4-901.11, Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying
Required, items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored. Stacking wet items
prevents them from drying and may allow an environment where microorganism can begin to grow. Cloth
drying of equipment and utensils is prohibited to prevent the possible transfer of microorganisms.

was conducted with the Dietary Supervisor. A heavy-duty blender was observed stored on the counter
shelves and was still wet and with visible water inside. The Dietary Supervisor verified the above findings
and stated it was supposed to be air dried.
3. According to the FDA Food Code, 2017 4-601.11, it is the standard of practice to ensure non-food
contact surfaces of equipment shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other
debris.
According to the FDA Food Code Annex 4-602.13, the presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact
surfaces may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may
inadvertently transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for
insects, rodents, and other pests.
During the initial kitchen tour on 9/18/23 at 0835 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was
conducted with the Dietary Supervisor. The microwave oven on the counter shelves used for warming food
for the residents was observed with dry, crusted, whitish food residue on the interior part of the microwave
door. The Dietary Supervisor verified the findings and stated it should have been cleaned daily by the
dietary staff.
4. According to the 2017 FDA Food Code Section 4-202.11, multi-use food contact surfaces shall be
smooth; free of breaks, open seams, cracks, chips, inclusions, pits, and similar imperfections; free of sharp
internal angles, corners, and crevices; and finished to have smooth welds and joints.
During the initial kitchen tour on 9/18/23 at 0850 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was
conducted with the Dietary Supervisor. Two dark brown, one white, and blue cutting boards were observed
with deep groves, marred, discolored, and fuzzy. The Dietary Supervisor verified the findings and stated
they should have been replaced, cleaning would not be sufficient.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure garbage was properly stored in three of
four garbage dumpsters. The failure had the potential to attract pest/rodents that carried diseases.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
According to the 2022 FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Food Code, outside garbage receptacles must
be constructed with tight-fitting lids or covers to prevent the scattering of the garbage or refuse by birds, the
breeding of flies, or the entry of rodents.
On 9/18/23 at 0906 hours, an observation with concurrent interview with the Maintenance Supervisor was
conducted. Three of four facility's outside garbage dumpsters were observed to have the lids partially
propped open by garbage, preventing the lids from fully closing. The Maintenance Supervisor verified the
findings. The Maintenance Supervisor stated he had to push the trash down to close the lids and it was
important to keep the lids completely closed due to infection control purposes.
