Honor the resident's right to share a room with spouse or roommate of choice and receive written notice
before a change is made.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and recorded review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sample residents
(Resident 56) received a written notice, including the reason for the room change, prior to being moved to a
different room with the facility, when Resident 56 was moved without receiving written communication
explaining the change.
This failure resulted in Resident 56 being moved without appropriate written communication which had the
potential to result in emotional distress and a violation of Resident 56's rights to make informed decision
regarding her care and environment.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/15/25 at 11:14 a.m. with Resident 56, in Resident 56's
room. Resident 56 stated she was moved to a new room on 5/14/25 but did not receive a written notice of
change and was not asked to sign anything. Resident 56 stated it was the second time she had to changed
rooms. Resident 56 stated she understood the reason given, and she expressed frustrations being
relocated multiple times.
During a Review of Resident 56's admission Record (AR-a document containing resident profile
information) dated 5/16/25, the AR indicated Resident 56 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-a condition caused by damage
to the airways or other parts of the lung that blocks airflow and makes it hard to breathe) and asthma (a
chronic lung condition making it difficult to breathe).
During a review of Resident 56's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment, dated 4/10/25, the MDS assessment indicated
Resident 56's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS -assessment of cognitive status for memory and
judgment) assessment score was 15 out of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact [a person is
able to think clearly, remember things well, and make sound decisions, essentially having normal brain
function with no significant problems with thinking, learning, or reasoning abilities], 08-12 indicates
moderately impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident
56 was cognitively intact.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/25 at 11:26 a.m. with the Social Services Director
(SSD), the facility policy and procedures titled Room change/Roommate Assignment was reviewed. The

Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary
Notice (SNF-ABN- a notice to provide information to residents/beneficiaries if they wish to continue
receiving the skilled services that may be paid for Medicare and assume responsibility) for one three
sampled residents (Resident 78) when the Medicare coverage was terminated for Resident 78.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in not protecting Resident 78's rights and Resident 78's Representative
(RR) right to appeal the termination of Medicare Part A and possibly denying Resident 78's needed
services.
Findings:
During observation on 5/13/25 at 10:13 a.m., in Resident 78's room during the initial tour of the facility,
Resident 78 was lying in bed. Resident declined to answer questions.
During a review of Resident 78's admission Record, (AR- a document containing resident profile
information) dated 5/15/25, the admission Record indicated Resident 78 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses which included muscle wasting and atrophy (refers to the shrinking and weakening
of muscle tissue due to various causes, including inactivity, aging or certain medical conditions), muscle
weakness and retention of urine (unable to empty all urine from the bladder).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/25 at 8:28 a.m. with the Business Office Assistant
(BOA), the BOA stated her duties included but not limited to assisting residents to fill up applications for
medi-cal (California's name for the federal Medicaid program [joint federal and state program that provides
free or low-cost health coverage]). The BOA reviewed Resident 18's medical record titled, Skilled Nursing
Facility Beneficiary Protection Notification Review. The BOA stated the SNF-ABN indicated Resident 78
start date was on 9/1/24 and the last covered day of Medicare Part A Services was on 11/29/24. The BOA
stated Resident 78 remained in the facility after the last covered day. The BOA stated Resident 78 had
Medicare Part A remaining days and a SNF ABN was not issued to Resident 78 because she did not know
it was supposed to be issued. The BOA stated the SNF ABN letter should have been issued when the
Notice of Medicare Provided Non-Coverage (NOMNC) was issued to Resident 78. The BOA stated the SNF
ABN was very important because it provided Resident 78 steps to follow if Resident 78 wanted to continue
receiving Medicare A benefits and steps to follow for an appeal. The BOA stated Resident 78 and RR were
not able to appeal because they were not given the forms and information.
During an interview on 5/20/25 at 4:55 p.m. with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated his expectation
was to ensure Business Office issues SNF ABN and NOMNC letters to all residents needing the form. The
ADM stated SNF ABN and NOMNC letters were supposed to be issued prior to the last covered Medicare
part A Day to residents.
During a review of facility's document titled, Form Instructions Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary
Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) Form CMS 10055, dated 2024, the document indicated, . Medicare
requires Skilled Nursing Facilities [SNFs] to issue the SNF ABN to Original Medicare, also called

this instance . The SNF ABN provides information to the patient so that she/he can

authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to report unusual occurrences for two of three
sampled residents (Residents 28 and 244) when:
1. Resident 28 was attacked by Resident 29 (squeezed his toes and punched him 4 to 6 times in the lower
left leg) and the facility did not contact local law enforcement or report the resident-to-resident abuse to the
State Survey Agency.
This failure put Resident 28's safety at risk, possibly other residents, as well as family and staff members in
the facility.
2. Resident 244 was found on the floor by her bed, deceased and the facility did not report this unusual
occurrence to the resident's responsible party (RP- a family member of designated person who is the point
of contact for the nursing home staff. They can be kept informed about the resident's condition, receive
updates, and ask questions) nor the State Survey Agency.
This failure placed all residents' well-being and safety at risk residing in the facility due to lack of knowledge
of reporting requirements.

least five times. Resident 28 stated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 7 was already at his bedside, but
other staff members came in and separated Resident 29 from him and he moved to another room in the
facility. Resident 28 stated he had bruising to his leg and the facility had his left leg x-rayed, which were
negative. Resident 28 stated he never spoke to the local police department.

not sure if she had told the RP/FM 4 that Resident 244 was found on the ground, but she knew that it was
not documented what was said. DON stated a person found on the ground would be considered to be a fall
and a change of condition should be made. The DON stated again, she told the RP/FM 4 that her mom had
died but was not sure if she mentioned the fall or was found on the floor. The DON stated her assessment

my God this is terrible. The RP/FM 4 stated no person from the facility told her or her family Resident 244
was found on the floor deceased it makes a huge difference that she was. The RP/FM 4 stated The DON
just lied to us and it would be very unusual for her mother to be on floor. The RP/FM 4 stated the HN told
her it was not normal that hospice was not notified timely. The RP/FM 4 stated if she had known she was
found on the floor deceased she would have bought an autopsy but did not because she was told by the
facility she died naturally. The RP/FM 4 stated she would have needed to know the way her mom was found
and would have done things differently. The RP/FM 4 stated the facility withheld vital information that would
have been very important to me and what to do next.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessment
(MDS-assessment of physical and psychological functions and needs) accurately reflected resident's health
and functional status for one of five sampled residents (Resident 21) when Resident 21's deep tissue injury
(DTI-localized area of discolored, intact skin, often purple or maroon, or a blood-filled blister due to damage
to the underlying tissues) was inaccurately coded in the MDS assessment.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 21's care needs not met and the potential for DTI to
worsen.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/13/25 at 9:40 a.m. during initial tour in Resident 21's
room, Resident 21 was lying in bed. Resident 21 observed not able to move left upper extremity and lower
extremities, and limited movement of right upper extremity.
During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR- a document with personal identifiable and medical
information) dated 5/15/25, the AR indicated Resident 21 was admitted tot he facility on 4/17/25 with
diagnoses which included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and
trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial or incomplete paralysis or weakness on one
side of the body) and Pressure-Induced Deep Tissue Damage of Sacral Region (occurs when sustained
pressure restricts blood flow to the tissues over the sacrum, leading to tissue damage
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/15/25 at 9:35 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 2, CNA 2 stated she was familiar with Resident 21's care. CNA 2 stated she took care of Resident
21 and assisted the treatment nurse when providing treatment to Resident 21. CNA 2 stated Resident 21
has a wound on her buttocks area but not sure how big. CNA 2 stated Resident 21 requires extensive
assistance with turning and repositioning. CNA 2 stated, She [Resident 21] is not able to move her legs
without assistance and her left arm too, she can use her right arm to grab the bar to assist with turning.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/16/25 at 11:06 a.m. with the Treatment Nurse (TXN),
the TXN reviewed Resident 21's progress note dated 4/18/25 and stated Resident 21 was admitted with
deep tissue injury to sacrococcyx area (bones at the bottom[base] of the spine). TXN stated he sent a
picture of Resident 21's wound to the wound doctor and the wound doctor said to put a diagnosis of DTI of
the wound and gave treatment order to be started for Resident 21's DTI. The TXN stated Resident 21's DTI
improved and size was smaller compared to the size when Resident 21 was admitted to the facility.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/20/25 at 10:10 a.m. with the Minimum Data Set Nurse
(MDSN), the MDSN reviewed Resident 21's five day MDS assessment dated [DATE] section M (Skin
Conditions), Resident 21's deep tissue injury was not coded in the MDS assessment. The MDSN reviewed
Resident 21's treatment orders and stated Resident 21 had treatment order for DTI which was started on
4/18/25. The MDSN stated she did not code Resident 21 as having DTI and she should have. The MDSN
stated it was her responsibility to ensure MDS assessments were accurate.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to follow-up with a positive Preadmission screening and
Resident Review (PASARR-a federal requirement to ensure residents with mental disorder or intellectual
disorder or intellectual disabilities are not inappropriately placed in a nursing home) level I screening for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 52) when Resident 52's PASARR level I screening required
PASARR Level II mental health evaluation on 9/24/24 and was not completed.
This failure had the potential for Resident 52 to not receive the appropriate services related to her mental
disorder.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 52's admission Record (AR-a document containing resident profile
information), dated 5/20/25, the AR indicated, Resident 52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included: unspecified psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and
emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality), major depressive disorder (persistent sadness,
loss of interest in activities and difficulty with relationships impacting a person's thinking and behavior),
anxiety disorders (a group of conditions characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that
significantly interfere with daily life).
During a review of Resident 52's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function), dated 3/25/25, the MDS section C indicated Resident 52 had a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgment)
assessment score of 14 out of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately
impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment, 99 indicates unable to complete the interview), which
indicated Resident 52 was cognitively intact.

indicated .Resident Review (RR) (Status Change), .Diagnosed Serious Mental Illness (SMI) .- Yes, Specify
the diagnosis .- Unspecified Psychosis . State Use Only comments: Level I - Positive for SMI/Negative for
ID (intellectual disability) /DD (developmental disability) /RC (related conditions) .
During a review of Resident 52's Notice of PASARR Level I Screening Result (NPSR) dated 9/24/24. The
NPSR indicated . A Serious Mental illness (SMI) Level II mental health evaluation is required. Result:
Positive for SMI/Negative for ID/DD/RC .
During a review of Resident 52's Notice of Attempted Evaluation (NAE) dated 9/24/24. The NAE indicated, .
In the event of a possible SMI level I screening, a SMI level II mental health evaluation is required to
determine if the individual can benefit from specialized services. However, a SMI level II mental health
evaluation was not scheduled for the following reason: facility staff were unresponsive to two or more
separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the level I screening
During an interview on 5/15/25 at 9:25 a.m. with the admission & Marketing Director (AMD), the AMD
stated the facility receives the PASARR level I for residents via file exchange from the hospital. The AMD
stated if the PASARR level I screening was positive, the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN ) follows up with

During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/25 at 9:29 a.m. with the MDSN, Resident 52's
PLISR dated 9/24/24, NPSR dated 9/24/24, NAE dated 9/24/24 and Progress Notes (PN) were reviewed.
The MDSN stated Resident 52's PASARR level I screening was positive for SMI. The MDSN stated
communication between MDSN and PASARR representative should be documented in Resident 52's PN.
The MDSN validated there was no evidence of communication between MDSN and PASARR
representative. The MDSN stated there was no follow up to ensure PASARR level II evaluation was
completed for Resident 52. The MDSN stated the MDSN was responsible for the follow up process on the
PASARR level II evaluation. The MDSN stated it was important that Resident 52 was assessed for PASARR
level II evaluation if Resident 52 was taking antipsychotropic (medication used to treat psychosis, a
condition characterized by symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking) medication.
The MDSN stated it was important to complete the PASARR level II evaluation, so the state agency had
accurate records.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/25 at 11:56 a.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 52's PLISR dated 9/24/24, NPSR dated 9/24/24, NAE dated 9/24/24 and PN were
reviewed. The DON validated a PASARR Level II evaluation was triggered for Resident 52. The DON stated
the importance of the PASARR evaluation was to make sure residents were placed appropriately based on
their clinical needs and that services were provided based on their diagnosis. The DON validated there was
no documentation of communication between MDSN and PASARR representatives. The DON stated the
communication should have been documented in a PN in Resident 52's medical records. The DON stated it
was important to document the communication between MDSN and PASARR representatives so there was
appropriate information to complete the evaluation. The DON validated the NAE indicated .facility staff were
unresponsive to two or more separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the level I screening .
The DON stated the expectation was to follow up with contracted party/PASARR representative or DHS
(Department of Health Services) to make sure the evaluation was completed. The DON stated it was
important to follow up on the PASARR Level II evaluation to make sure Resident 52's mental health was
supported. The DON stated the PASARR level II evaluation was not completed, therefore the PASARR
policy was not followed. The DON stated there was a potential risk for the omission of necessary services
for Resident 52. The DON stated Resident 52's mental disorder could have deteriorated if Resident 52 did
not have the support needed.
During a review of Job Description: Director of Nursing (DON), dated 2/2024, the document indicated,

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan (a
plan that provides direction for individualized care of the resident) within 48 hours of resident's admission
for one of two sampled residents (Resident 79) when Resident 79's care plans was not created for the
oxygen (O2- a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas essential for life) therapy per physician's order.
This failure had the potential for Resident 79 to not receive oxygen therapy as prescribed by the physician
which had the potential to result in hypoxia (a condition where tissues and organs don't receive enough
oxygen) and respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs are unable to adequately provide oxygen to the
blood or remove carbon dioxide).
Findings:
During an observation on 5/13/25 at 1:23 p.m. with Resident 79 during the tour in Resident 79's room,
Resident 79 was lying in bed with the head of the bed elevated wearing a nasal cannula (NC- thin plastic
tube that delivers oxygen directly into the nose through two small prongs) in his nostril. The O2 tubing hung
from the resident down the left side of the bed connected to an oxygen concentrator (device that produces
oxygen for breathing). The O2 setting was at 2 LPM (liters per minute-unit of measurement). Resident 79
opened his eyes but did not respond to any questions asked.
During a review of Resident 79's admission Record (AR-a summary of important information regarding a
patient which include patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family
contact information and other pertinent information), dated 5/16/25, the AR indicated, Resident 79, was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: encounter for palliative care (medical
consultations focused on providing comfort and support to patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses),
parkinsonism (condition which affects the body's movements), major depressive disorder (persistent
sadness, loss of interest in activities and difficulty with relationships impacting a person's thinking and
behavior), Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental
functions), hydrocephalus (buildup of fluid in the brain), .
During a review of Resident 79's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 4/11/25, the MDS section C indicated, Resident 79 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-an
assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the
resident) score of 03 out of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates moderately
impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment, 99 indicates unable to complete the interview), which
indicated Resident 79 was severely impaired.
During a review of Resident 79's MDS assessment dated [DATE], the MDS section O indicated Resident
79's Special Treatment, Procedures, and Programs included Resident 79 on Hospice care (a type of care
that focuses on providing comfort and relief to terminally ill patients and their families, rather than focusing
on curing the illness).
During a review of Resident 79's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 10/7/24 at 5:01 p.m. The OSR
indicated .O2 at 2-5 LPM via NC PRN (as needed) per concentrator /tank as needed for Dyspnea (difficulty
or discomfort in breathing) .

During a review of Resident 79's Progress Notes (PN) dated 10/8/24 at 10:52 p.m. The PN indicated,
.Resident is on monitoring for s/p (status post) new admit to facility under{name}hospice .
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/16/25 at 11:45 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 6, Resident 79's O2 order and care plans were reviewed. The LVN 6 stated, I do not see any care
plan, there should be a care plan if the resident is on O2. LVN 6 stated it was important to have a care plan
for O2 because it showed the interventions needed for Resident 79. LVN 6 stated the care plan guided the
Licensed Nurses (LNs) and helps LNs know what problems Resident 79 had. LVN 6 stated the care plan
should have been initiated when O2 was started on 10/7/24.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/16/25 at 11:47 a.m. with the Minimum Data Set Nurse
(MDSN), Resident 79's O2 order and care plans were reviewed. The MDSN stated there was no care plan
for O2. The MDSN stated there should have been a care plan to ensure LNs were providing Resident 79 his
O2 needs. The MDSN stated the care plan ensured staff with access to resident 79's care know what
interventions the resident needs. The MDSN stated the care plan should have been completed as soon as
the O2 was ordered on 10/7/24.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/16/25 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON),
the baseline care plan policy, the duties, job description for Registered Nurse (RN) & LVN, Resident 79's
O2 order and care plans were reviewed. The DON stated care plans were initiated when residents were
admitted to the facility. The DON stated baseline care plans should have been completed based on
Resident 79's assessment on admission. The DON stated a baseline care plan should have been
completed within 48 hours of admission. The DON stated there was no baseline care plan completed when
resident 79 was admitted on [DATE]. The DON stated, It would be appropriate for Resident 79 to have a
care plan so that anyone participating in his care would have information regarding the plan of Resident
79's care and other non -physician support can be incorporated in his care. The DON stated having a care
plan could improve the care of Resident 79. The DON stated the care plan policy was not followed. The
DON stated it was important for staff to follow the policy to ensure adherence to systems that will support
residents' care.

During an interview on 5/16/25 at 8:18 a.m. with Activities Director (AD), the AD stated activities were
important because the activities helped resident be active, stimulated their minds and was important for
their social well-being. The AD stated other residents who are not able to participate in activities were
provided one on one activities by the activity assistant. The AD stated she did not know how often residents
were provided one on one activity per week. The AD reviewed Residents' 7, 12, 18, 21, 32, 39, 45, 53, 76,
78, and 79's activity care plans and stated Residents' 7, 12, 18, 21, 32, 39, 45, 53, 76, 78, and 79's care

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services in accordance with
professional standards of quality of care for seven out of 12 sampled Residents (Residents 24, 27, 29, 48,
56, 58, and 143) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 24 and Resident 29's oxygen (a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organism)
flow rate (the amount of oxygen being delivered to the body) were not administered according to their
physician order.
These failures resulted in Resident 24 and Resident 29 to not received the prescribed amount of oxygen
via oxygen concentrator (a machine that pulls in oxygen from the surrounding air) and placed Resident 24
at risk for breathing problems which could include difficulty breathing, headache, and confusion.
2. No Oxygen in Use signage outside of Resident 143's room.
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 143's accidental burn.
3. Resident 58 had a physician's order for oxygen at 3 liters per minute (LPM- unit of measurement) and
she was receiving 2.5 LPM.
This failure had the potential to place Resident 58's safety at risk by developing hypoxia (a condition where
the body's tissues do not receive enough oxygen) and her specific needs not being met .
4. The facility failed to follow their policy and procedure (P&P) Change in Resident's Condition or Status for
Resident 48 when he had an unwitnessed fall and the physician was not notified, nor a change in condition
completed.
This failure put Resident 48's safety at risk by not addressing his fall, increasing the risk of additional
fallsand his specific needs not met .
5. Resident 27 was high fall risk for falls, had a physician order for a Dycem (a flexible, non-slip material
used to stabilize surfaces and objects) device to be placed on the wheelchair which was not in place during
observation and was falsely documented as presented by the nursing staff.
This failure resulted in wheelchair instability and increased the risk of falls and injury.
6. Resident 27 had a physician order for a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI - medical imaging used to
create detailed, non-invasive images of the body's internal structures, to help doctors diagnose a wide
range of conditions and monitor treatment effectiveness.) -due to gait instability and full history which was
not scheduled or completed.
This failure had the potential to result in delayed diagnosis and treatment for Resident 27.
7. Resident 56 was administered 4 L/min (liters-unit of measurement)/min (minute) of oxygen via Nasal
cannula (NC- plastic device used to deliver supplemental oxygen) instead of 2L/min of oxygen per
physician's order.

This failure had the potential to put Resident 56 at risk for oxygen toxicity (lung damage that can occur from
breathing in too much extra oxygen which can cause coughing and troubled breathing.
8. Resident 56 had a physician order for a left knee X-ray (a type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass
through certain objects, including the human body) due to pain which was not completed and marked
completed in the electronic charting system without follow up.
This failure had the potential to delay treatment for Resident 56.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/13/25 at 9:10 a.m. during initial tour in Resident 24's
room, Resident 24 was lying in bed, eyes closed and TV on. Resident 24 stated he needed the oxygen to
help him breath. Resident 24's oxygen flow rate on the oxygen concentrator indicated 3 l/minute via

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 ensure a hazard free environment and
adequate supervision to prevent accidents was provided for two of three sampled residents (Resident 23
and Resident 27) when:
1. Resident 23 was using two phone books covered with duct tape as a step-stool to assist in getting up
into bed that were made by therapy staff.
This failure put Resident 23's safety at risk by creating a hazardous environment that could have caused an
accident or fall.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident 27 received adequate supervision to prevent accidents despite
being identified as a high fall risk.
This failure resulted in repeated falls and unsafe situations, with an increased risk of potential bodily harm.
Findings:
1. During a current observation and interview on 5/14/25 at 10:08 a.m., with Resident 23, in Resident 23's
room, Resident 23 stepped on two blocks made of duct tape (a very strong adhesive tape with a waterproof
backing, used to seal home ducts, hoses) to get into her bed. Resident 23 stated rehab made them for her
and she needed to step on them to get in and out of bed. Resident 23 stated she was unsure of what they
were made of.
During a review of Resident 23's admission Record (AR-a document containing resident profile
information), dated 5/20/25, the AR indicated, Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnosis of muscle weakness, morbid (severe) obesity (a chronic condition characterized by an excessive
accumulation of body fat that can negatively impact health), muscle wasting (when muscles shrink and
become weaker) and atrophy (gradual wasting away or shrinking), unsteadiness on feet, ataxic gait (a
wobbly, unsteady, and uncoordinated way of walking), chronic pain and other abnormalities of gait and
mobility (movement).
During a review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function) assessment, dated 4/29/25, the MDS assessment indicated
Resident 23's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS -assessment of cognitive status for memory and
judgment) assessment score was 13 out of 15 (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact (a person is
able to think clearly, remember things well, and make sound decisions, essentially having normal brain
function with no significant problems with thinking, learning, or reasoning abilities), 08-12 indicates
moderately impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment). The BIMS assessment indicated Resident
23 was cognitively intact.
During an interview on 5/15/25 at 3:17 p.m., with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), the DOR stated the
two blocks were actually phone books covered with duct tape. The DOR stated a facility staff member,
Occupational Therapist (OT) 1, made the blocks. The DOR stated the phone books (a physical book that is

ligaments, or skin become tight and shortened, limiting the range of motion in a joint) right hand,
contracture of muscle left hand, aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech caused by brain
damage), anemia (a condition where the body has a lower than normal number of red blood cells, or the
red blood cells don't function properly, leading to a reduced ability to carry oxygen).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive and physical function), dated 5/15/25, the MDS section C indicated, Resident 7 had a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-assessment of cognitive status for memory and judgment)
assessment score was not complete, (a score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 08-12 indicates
moderately impaired, and 00-07 indicates severe impairment, 99 indicates unable to complete the
interview).
During a review of Resident 7's MDS assessment dated [DATE], the MDS section GG indicated, Resident

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 follow the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P) Medication Storage when two of four sampled medication carts ((Cart 1 and Cart 2) were
left unlocked and unattended by Licensed Nurses (LNs).
These failures had the potential for residents, staff, and visitors to have unauthorized access to resident
medications resulting in theft, overdose, and/or residents not having access to their medications.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 5/13/25 at 9:47 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 8, in the hall near the nurse station, medication Cart 1 was observed unlocked and unattended. LVN
8 stated the unlocked medication cart was her cart and she should not have left the cart unlocked when
she walked away to get supplies. LVN 8 stated a resident, staff member or visitor could have gotten into the
medication cart and harmed themselves by taking unprescribed medication.
During an interview on 5/13/25 at 10:30 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the
medication carts should always be locked. DON stated it was the responsibility of the nurse that was
assigned to the cart to make sure it was always locked.
During an observation on 5/20/25 at 4:16 p.m., medication Cart 2 was observed left unattended and
unlocked, with the medication keys attached to the medication cart. The nurse assigned to the cart was
observed on the opposite side of the nurses' station counter, gathering juices, not keeping the medication
cart in her line of vision. Assisstant Director of Nursing (ADON) was observed to approach the cart, remove
the keys, lock the medication cart, and discreetly attempt to place the keys into heLVN 5's pocket.
During an interview on 5/20/25 at 4:28 p.m. with LVN 5, LVN 5 stated the cart was not left unlocked, it was a
pulse oximeter (a small, portable medical device that measures the oxygen saturation in the blood). LVN 5
acknowledged the ADON placed the medication keys in her pocket. LVN 5 stated she should not have lied,
and it was important to keep medication cart locked for safety.
During an interview on 5/20/25 at 4:31 p.m. with the ADON, at the nurses' station next to medication Cart 2.
The ADON acknowledged the observation of her removing the keys from the unlocked medication cart
(Caret 2), lock Cart 2 and placed the keys in LVN 5's pocket. The ADON stated LVN 5 should not have
walked away from the medication cart with keys left in the lock of Cart 2 and out of her line of sight. The
ADON stated the expectation of the nurses was to have the medication carts locked when unattended, to
prevent unauthorized access.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of Medication dated 2019,
indicated, .The facility stores all drugs and biological in a safely, securely and properly .only licensed nurses
.are allowed access to medications. Medication rooms, carts, and medication supplies are locked or

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 record review, the facility failed to ensure food storage was stored
under sanitary conditions in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when:
Residents Affected - Many
1. A large plastic container of rice was in the dry storage pantry without a label and did not have an opened
date or an expiration date.
2. Freezer 1 of 2 was observed without an internal thermometer. Refrigerator 1 of 3 was observed without
an internal thermometer (a tool used to measure how hot or cold something is).
These failures had the potential to contribute to the growth of foodborne pathogens (a tiny organism, like a
germ, that could cause disease. Pathogens included things like bacteria, viruses and fungi) and posed a
risk of foodborne illness (any illness resulting from eating contaminated/spoiled foods) symptoms which
could range from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, headache, and confusion to residents
who received meals and nourishment from the facility's kitchen.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and observation on 5/13/25 at 8:22 a.m. with the Certified Dietary Manager
(CDM), in the dry storage pantry, a large clear plastic container of rice had no label, open date or expiration
date. The CDM stated, her expectation is that all food in the dry storage should be labeled with what the
food item was, the open date and expiration date to prevent residents from receiving old or expired food.
During an interview on 5/16/25 at 3:15 p.m. with the Registered Dietitian (RD), the RD stated, all foods in
pantry need to label with name of food, open date and expiration date. The RD stated, if the food is not
labeled correctly, it increases the risk of residents being served expired food or food, they may have an
allergy to resulting in food born illness and possibly death.
2. During a concurrent interview and observation on 5/13/25 at 8:39 a.m. with the CDM in the kitchen , one
of two freezers did not have an internal thermometer. The CDM stated, a thermometer was required inside
of every freezer. The CDM stated the temperatures were to be taken every morning and documented in a
temperature log book to prevent food from going into the Danger Zone (temperatures above 41 degrees
Fahrenheit (F - unit of measure) and below 32 degrees F for cold storage. Food that goes into the Danger
Zone could spoil, and bacterial growth could begin and expose residents to food borne illness).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/13/25 at 8:41 a.m. with the CDM in the kitchen, one of
three refrigerators did not have an internal thermometer . The CDM stated the refrigerator should have had
an internal thermometer to monitor the temperature inside the refrigerator to ensure food is being kept at a
temperature to prevent bacterial growth and resident food born illness.
During an interview on 5/16/25 at 3:18 p.m. with the RD, the RD stated, every refrigerator and freezer need
to have a working internal thermometer that was to be monitored to prevent food from being out of safe
food storage temperatures . The RD statd the refrigerator needed to be maintained between 34- to
39-degrees F, and the freezer needs to be maintained below these temperatures, if not the
