of stomach contents to lungs.
Findings:
A review of facility's admission Record indicated Resident 99 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included protein-calorie malnutrition and cancer of upper opening of the stomach. Resident 99's Minimum
Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2024, the MDS indicated a Brief Interview for

and she slid down towards the middle of the bed. Resident 99's HOB was slightly elevated but less than 30
degrees. Resident 99's tube feeding was infusing at 65 ml/hr. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 stated
Resident 99's HOB had to be least 75 to 90 degrees during tube feeding. CNA 1 stated she would raise
Resident 99's HOB, and move Resident 99 towards the HOB. CNA 1 adjusted the bed to a flat position, and
CNA 1 stated she would get someone to help her move Resident 99 back up towards the HOB. Resident

CNA 1 came back to the room with CNA 2, and they lifted Resident 99 towards the HOB. CNA 1 then
elevated Resident 99's HOB to at least 30 degrees.
During an observation on 03/25/25 at 09:37 A.M., Resident 99's HOB was positioned to less than 30
degrees, with tube feeding infusing at 65 ml/hr.

failed to assist one out of three sampled residents (Resident 73) obtain Medi-Cal authorization for dental
services in a timely manner.This failure had the potential to cause Resident 73 to be without dentures
longer than necessary, which could result in weight loss, unhappiness, and stress.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a review of Resident 73's admission Record, dated 3/27/25, Resident 73 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including homelessness, depression, and hypertension (high blood
pressure).
During an interview on March 24, 2025 at 11:55 a.m. with Resident 73, Resident 73 stated his teeth were
removed several months ago, he wanted dentures, and he did not understand what was happening with his
dental insurance. Resident 73 stated he was feeling very stressed about dental insurance and that if he
understood about the share of cost, he would not have consented to have his teeth removed. Resident 73
stated not having teeth or dentures makes him feel like crap.
During an interview on March 25, 2025 at 3:35 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN1), LVN1 stated
when Resident 73 came back from having his teeth removed she was surprised because the facility did not
know he was going to the dentist to have his teeth removed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pureed texture meal was
prepared in a manner that is flavorful, appetizing, and with good nutritional value.
Residents Affected - Some
These failures had the potential to affect the resident's overall nutritional status.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 03/26/25 at 01:02 P.M., with Dietary Supervisor (DS), one
test plate of pureed texture food consisted of oven-roasted BBQ beef, pureed fresh zucchini and carrots,
and cheddar biscuits. The pureed BBQ beef was light brown with dark brown BBQ sauce, pureed fresh
zucchini and carrots was light green and looked like a slime (squishy sensory toy), and pureed cheddar
biscuit was paper white. Pureed oven BBQ beef roast did not have a strong flavor of beef; the BBQ sauce
which tasted vinegary over powered the flavor of the oven roasted BBQ beef. The pureed zucchini and
carrots did not taste like vegetables, and the consistency and texture were gummy/slimy. Pureed cheddar
biscuit did have any flavor, and the texture was starchy.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 03/26/25 at 01:46 P.M., with Cook, [NAME] stated he
prepared the pureed texture food for nine residents. [NAME] stated he used the Robot Coupe (food
processor, that can hold 3.5 quartz). [NAME] stated he tasted the pureed oven BBQ beef roast, and
[NAME] stated that it did not have a lot of flavors. [NAME] stated that there was not enough BBQ beef extra
to use for pureed texture. [NAME] stated for cheddar biscuits, he added 12 portions of biscuit in the Robot
Coupe processor, and mixed it with water and milk. [NAME] stated he added the liquid up to max up to fill
line (3.5 quartz) of Robot Coupe food processor. [NAME] stated after the cheddar biscuit was pureed, he
transferred it in a bin, and he added thickener. [NAME] was not able to say the amount of thicker he used,
but stated he added enough thickener until it was scoopable. [NAME] stated for zucchini and carrots, he
added water until the max fill line of the food processor. [NAME] transferred the purred zucchini and carrots
to a bin and added the powder thickener until its scoopable.
During an interview on 03/27/25 at 09:27 A.M., with DS, DS stated [NAME] used the oven roasted BBQ
beef drippings to add flavor to the pureed food, the drippings had a lot of fat/oil, so the cook probably added
water.
