Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility did not report an alleged abuse allegation for one out of two
sampled residents (Resident 6) within 2 hours to California Department of Public Health (CDPH,
responsible for and enforces some of the laws in the California Health and Safety Codes), the Ombudsman
(official appointed to investigate individuals' complaints) and the local Police Department (PD).
This failure put Resident 6 and all the vulnerable residents at risk for abuse to continue.
Findings:
A review of Resident 6's face sheet (demographics) indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] with a
diagnoses of Muscle Weakness, Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS, pain that lasts over 3 months) and Spinal
Cord Disease (SCD, nerve damage that cause permanent severe problems, such as paralysis (loss of the
ability to move (and sometimes to feel anything) in part or most of the body) or impaired bladder and bowel
control). Resident 6's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and identify
the cognition, the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses of residents) dated 8/29/24 score was 15 out of 15 indicating intact cognition. Resident 6's
functional abilities indicated he was dependent on staff for provision of all care.
A review of the SOC 341 (form use to report suspected abuse) dated 9/5/24 indicated an incident occurred
between Resident 6 and the alleged Licensed Nurse (LN) A on 8/31/24 at approximately 10:00 a.m. The
SOC 341 dated 9/5/24 indicated a telephone report was made to law enforcement in Santa [NAME] on
8/31/24 at 4:10 p.m. but there were no other calls made to other agencies on 8/31/24. The SOC 341 dated
9/5/24 also indicated the Ombudsman was not notified of the abuse allegation until 9/5/24. The SOC 341
dated 9/5/24 had no indication the abuse allegation on 8/31/24 was reported to CDPH.
During a concurrent interview and SOC 341 dated 9/5/24 record review on 10/23/24 at 3:55 p.m., the
Administrator (ADM) verified the alleged abuse occurred on 8/31/24 at approximately 10:00 a.m. The ADM
stated this was his weakest report. The ADM stated the facility policy was to report abuse allegations to
CDPH, the Ombudsman and local PD within 2 hours. The ADM stated the 2-hour reporting time frame was
not met for this investigation. The ADM stated the local PD was notified the same day but did not meet the
2-hour reporting time requirement. The ADM verified the Ombudsman was not notified of the abuse
allegation until 9/5/24. The ADM stated it was important to ensure abuse were reported timely primarily so
all agencies were aware to determine what action to take to ensure resident safety.

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1.ensure an appropriate notice of discharge (a written document provided to a patient or their
representative usually given before or at time of discharge (in an emergency) which explains why the
patient is being discharged and provides information about their next steps and ongoing care) was provided
to the resident and/or representative and ensure the Ombudsman (an official appointed to investigate
individuals' complaints against maladministration) was notified when one out of two sampled residents
(Resident 57) was sent to the emergency department (ED, department of a hospital responsible for the
provision of medical and surgical care to patients arriving at the hospital in need of immediate care) on
8/1/24.
2.ensure Licensed Staff were aware to notify the Ombudsman whenever there was a facility-initiated
discharge (discharge initiated by the facility) such as transfer to the hospital.
These failures could result in potential violations of resident rights, a lack of oversight regarding the
discharge process, inability for the ombudsman to investigate potential issues with the discharge which
could leave residents vulnerable to inappropriate or unsafe transfers without proper advocacy.
Findings:
A review of Resident 57's face sheet (demographics) indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] with a
diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder that gradually destroys memory and thinking skills, and
eventually the ability to perform daily tasks), Muscle Weakness and Bipolar Disorder (a mental health
condition). Resident 57's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and
identify the cognition- the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience,
and the senses of residents) indicated he had severely impaired cognition.
During a concurrent interview and electronic medical record review on 10/22/24 at 4:21 p.m., the Interim
Director of Nursing (IDON) verified the Ombudsman was not notified when Resident 57 was sent out to the
ED on 8/1/24. The IDON stated there was no notice of transfer completed nor was the Ombudsman notified
when Resident 57 was sent out to ED on 8/1/24. The IDON stated whenever a resident gets discharged or
transferred to ED, a notice of transfer or discharge should be provided to the resident and or the
representative and the Ombudsman would have to be notified within 24 to 48 hours. The IDON stated the
Ombudsman notification was important to monitor the wellbeing or whereabout of the residents, for
residents' protection and to prevent inappropriate discharges. The IDON stated the facility policy was to
notify the ombudsman whenever a resident was discharged or transferred to the hospital. The IDON stated
the facility policy was not followed when the Ombudsman was not notified when Resident 57 was sent out
to ED.
During an interview on 10/22/24 at 4:52 p.m. Licensed Nurse (LN) C stated she had discharged residents
and transferred residents to the hospital but had never sent a copy of the notice of transfer to notify the
Ombudsman of transfer to the hospital. When asked what the facility policy with regards to notifying the
Ombudsman during transfers and discharges, LN C stated she did not know.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility did not complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized
process for evaluating a resident's health and functional abilities in a nursing home) Discharge Assessment
(DCA, a required part of the process for evaluating the health of a resident and their discharge plans when
they leave a nursing home) for one out of two sampled residents (Resident 28). This failure could potentially
lead to improper care planning on Resident 28's new discharge setting which could also potentially put
Resident 28's safety at risk.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of Resident 28's face sheet (demographics) indicated Resident 28 was admitted on [DATE] with a
diagnoses of Dementia (general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking
abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life) and Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder that
slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks).
Resident 28's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and identify the
cognition, the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses of residents) dated 11/8/23 indicated a severely impaired cognition. Resident 28's functional abilities
indicated she was mostly dependent on staff for provision of care.
A review of Resident 28's MDS 3.0 [NAME] (informational filing system that is used as a quick reference)
indicated Resident 28 was missing an MDS DCA when she was discharged on 5/10/24.
During a concurrent interview and MDS 3.0 [NAME] record review on 10/25/24 at 8:50 a.m., the Interim
Director of Nursing (IDON) verified Resident 28 did not have an MDS DCA. The IDON stated Resident 28
was already discharged on 5/10/24. The DON stated it was important the MDS assessments were done
timely because these assessments were the backbone of residents' assessments and should paint an
accurate picture of residents' current status. The IDON stated the DCA included the current residents'
status upon discharge and should have been completed. The IDON stated failure to complete the MDS
DCA could put the resident at risk for rehospitalization.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 9:13 a.m., the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) stated she was
aware that some of her MDS assessments were late. MDSC stated ensuring MDS assessment were done
accurately and timely was important because the MDS assessment would show residents' current status,
what their needs were and how to meet those needs. MDSC stated it was important to ensure DCA's were
completed because these assessments were also used when residents were reintegrated back into the
community. The MDSC stated when residents' gets discharged from the facility and were ordered home
health services (HHS, a wide range of health care services that you can get in your home for an illness or
injury), based on MDS DCA, then these disciplines would have an idea on resident's current status and
what their needs were.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 9:13 a.m., the MDSC stated MDS assessments not completed timely do
not paint an accurate picture of residents' current status. MDSC stated it was important that MDS
assessments were done accurately and timely. MDSC stated not competing an MDS assessment timely
could result in inaccurate data and error in reports.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the resident and/or their responsible party with a
summary of the resident's Baseline Plan of Care for four of 18 sampled residents (Resident 45, 48, 54, and
108). This failure had the potential to limit communication with the resident and/or their responsible party on
how the facility planned to manage the resident's needed services and treatments while at the facility, which
could have led to the resident feeling stressed, uneasy and lack of trust with the staff providing care,
leading to negatively affecting the resident's physical and psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 45's admission Record, indicated Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with a diagnosis including Acute (short-term condition) and Chronic (ongoing condition)

Chronic Congested Heart Failure (a weakened heart condition that occurs when the heart can't pump
enough blood to the body), Atrial Fibrillation (irregular heart beat), Tracheostomy (a surgical procedure that
creates an opening in the neck to provide an airway and help with breathing), Stage 2 Pressure Ulcer (an
open wound that has broken through the top layer of skin and part of the layer below) of Sacral Region
(lower back), muscle weakness, amongst others.
A review of Resident 45's Baseline Care Plan v1.1-V1, signed and dated by a Licensed Vocational Nurse

promote his strength, initial discharge goals was to return to the community, Resident 45 was alert and
oriented, needed two person physical assist with personal hygiene, toilet use, dressing and transferring,
one person physical assists with bed mobility (positioning while in bed), used oxygen therapy (treatment
that provides extra oxygen to people who have breathing problems or lung diseases), occasionally
incontinent (lacking control) of bowel, a current medication list was provided to Resident 45 and Resident
45 reconciled the medication list (the process of comparing a patient's current medication orders to all the
medications a patient has been taking), amongst other information and goals. Under Section: 5. Baseline
Care Plan Summary and Signatures: B.: Signature of Resident and Representative, 1. Resident signature
and date, was left blank. There was no indication Resident 45 received a copy of his Baseline Care Plan
and a current list of his medications.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 11:44 a.m., Resident 45 stated he did not receive any paperwork.
Resident 45 stated he did not sign his Baseline Care Plan and he never received a current list of
medications.
2. A review of Resident 48's admission Record, indicated Resident 48 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with a diagnosis including Cerebrovascular Disease (stroke), Type Two Diabetes (high blood sugar),
Major Depression, Urinary Tract Infection (bacteria infection of the urinary tract), Muscle Weakness,
Hemiplegia (partial or complete paralysis of one side of the body), Alcohol Use, Dysphagia (partial loss of
the ability to use or understand language), amongst others.
A review of Resident 48's Baseline Care Plan v1.1-V1, signed and dated by the MDSC (Minimum Data Set
Coordinator) on 6/25/24, indicated Resident 48 was his own responsible party but deferred to his daughter,

signature box, no one could not tell if the resident was given a copy of their Baseline Care Plan and a list of
their current medications. The IDON stated the resident or their representative needed to sign and date the
Baseline Care Plan.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 11:31 a.m. the MDSC stated normally social service would make a copy
of the resident's Baseline Care Plan and medication list, have the resident sign and date their Baseline
Care Pan indicating they received a copy, then the signature page would be uploaded into the resident's
electronic medical record. The MDSC stated this has not been happening lately because there was no
social service staff.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 12:05 p.m., Resident 108 stated he never received a copy of his
Baseline Care Plan or a list of his current medications.
The facility Policy/Procedure titled, Baseline (Initial) Plan of Care, dated 12/2016, indicated: Policy: It is the
policy of this facility to provide each resident with an interim (initial) plan of care developed within 48 hours
of admission that addresses identified risk areas and resident's initial individual needs . Responsible
Discipline: The DON and/or its designee shall be responsible for the implementation of this policy .

interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure:
Residents Affected - Some
1.the Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA, a certified nursing assistant (CNA) who has specialized training
in therapeutic rehabilitation) process was followed when one out of two sampled residents (Resident 6) did
not have a weekly summary completed by the RNA and there were no monthly summary meetings in
Resident 6's electronic medical chart
2. the RNA followed the splint (provide a slow force to stretch the contracture- tightening of muscles that
causes the joints to shorten, and improve mobility) order for both hand flexion contracture (shortening and
hardening of muscles, resulting to deformity) management for one out of two sampled resident (Resident
6).
These failures placed Resident 6 at risk for further contracture, pain and development of wound.
Findings:
A review of Resident 6's face sheet (demographics) indicated Resident 6 was admitted on [DATE] with a
diagnoses of Muscle Weakness, Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS, pain that lasts over 3 months) and Spinal
Cord Disease (SCD, nerve damage that cause permanent severe problems, such as paralysis (loss of the
ability to move (and sometimes to feel anything) in part or most of the body) or impaired bladder and bowel
control). Resident 6's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and identify
the cognition, the process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses of residents) dated 8/29/24 score was 15 out of 15 indicating intact cognition. Resident 6's MDS
assessment dated [DATE] functional abilities indicated he was dependent on staff for provision of all care.
A review of Resident 6 Physician Order Summary (POS, a table view of a patient's orders that includes
information such as the order item, category, frequency, status, and when the order was entered) for 9/1/24
up to 10/31/24 indicated an order for RNA to don/doff splint to both hands for 2 to 4 hours or as tolerated
daily for 90 days.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/23/24 at 3:40 p.m., Resident 6 was noted with both of
his hand flexed. Resident 6 stated he had contracture on both his hand and RNA was supposed to put on a
splint on both of his hands daily, however RNA only put the splint on his hands for about 30 minutes daily.
Resident 6 stated he knows for sure it should be more than that. Resident 6 stated he did not know why the
RNA was in a rush to take the splint off. Resident 6 stated he wished the RNA would follow the doctor's
order. Resident 6 stated he thought 30 minutes of using the splint on his hands were ineffective. Resident 6
thought felt like his contracture was getting worse and his hands were getting weaker. Resident 6 stated he
could tolerate up to 2 hours of splint before but now he was not so sure. He stated maybe he could not
anymore because the RNA would only put the splint on for 30 minutes.
During a concurrent interview and record review of physician order on splint, dated 9/25/24, on 10/24/24 at
9:23 a.m., the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated an RNA order needs a physician order and must be
followed. The DOR clarified the splint order for 2 to 4 hours as tolerated meant if

Resident 6 felt discomfort or pain before the prescribed time which is 2 to 4 hours, then the RNA may take
off the splint. The DOR reiterated the minimum amount of time a splint should be used for Resident 6 was 2
hours. The DOR stated if Resident 6 was unable to tolerate 2 to 4 hours of splint, this should have been
reported to her so an adjustment to the time or the splint would have to be made. The DOR stated that so
far, there were no report from the RNA that Resident 6 was not tolerating the splint. The DOR stated
Resident 6 receiving 30 to 40 minutes of splint treatment was a concern and should have been reported to
her as soon as possible and would need to be addressed right away. The DOR stated in order for a splint to
be effective the minimum amount of time it should be worn was 2 hours. The DOR stated not following the
order for splinting for Resident 6 put him at risk for further contracture, pain and further decrease of hand
mobility. The DOR stated the RNA process involved monthly meetings between RNA, the DOR and the
Director of Staff Development and a weekly summary should also be completed by the RNA. The DOR was
unable to provide documentation for 9/2024 and 10/2024 monthly RNA meeting for Resident 6. DOR stated
monthly meeting was important because it tracked residents' progress or lack of progress, if an adjustment
to treatment was needed and to evaluate if current treatment was still appropriate. The DOR stated the
RNA process was not followed in Resident 6's case which could put him at risk for decreased quality of life.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 9:37 a.m., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated RNA order
need to have a physicians order and needs to be followed. The IDON stated Resident 6 receiving 30
minutes of splint treatment on his hands did not meet the physicians order for 2 to 4 hours of splint as
tolerated. The IDON stated Resident 6 wearing the splint for only 30 minutes was a concern because for
the splint to be effective, the minimum amount of time it should be worn was 2 hours. The IDON stated not
wearing the splint as prescribed put Resident 6 at risk for further contracture.
During a concurrent interview and RNA documentations for 10/2024 record review on 10/24/24 at 9:55
a.m., Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) B stated Resident 6 was able to tolerate 2 to 4 hours of splint on
both hands when he was released from skilled services and transitioned to RNA program. RNA B stated
the splint was important to prevent contracture. RNA B stated that for a month now, Resident 6 was only
able to tolerate 40 minutes of wearing splint on his hands. When asked if this was a change in Resident 6
status, she stated yes. When asked if this change was something she would report to the DOR she stated
yes. RNA B stated she might have mentioned this to the DOR but it was not her focus. When asked what
her focus was, RNA B did not respond. When asked if an RNA order needs a physician order, RNA B stated
yes. RNA B also stated the RNA order must be followed. RNA B verified the order for splint was for RNA to
don/ doff splint to both hands for 2 to 4 hours or as tolerated daily. When asked if the doctors' order was
followed when Resident 6 was only getting 40 minutes of splint treatment, she stated no. RNA B stated
splint was important to prevent contracture. RNA B stated the RNA process involved monthly meetings with
the RNA, DOR, the DSD and completion of weekly summary. RNA B was not able to provide
documentations RNA weekly summaries were completed for Resident 6. RNA B stated if weekly
summaries or monthly meetings or summaries were not done, it could be a risk for residents' being in a
program that does not work or was inappropriate for them. RNA B stated Resident 6 had been wearing
splint for about 30 to 40 minutes as a treatment for his contracture for a month at least.
A review of the form titled Restorative Care Process provided by the DOR on 10/24/24 at 9:23 a.m., it
indicated the resident is identified for need or restorative range of motion program by physician order .if
complication are present, a physician order should be obtained with clarification and approval before
beginning the program .the physical or occupational therapist should serve as a consultant when question
arise the monthly range of motion documentation is filed in the residents clinical record

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow through with notifying a resident's physician of the
RD's (Registered Dietitian) recommendation for the nutritional supplement, Med Pass (helps provide extra
calories and protein to help patients gain weight or recover from illness) for one of eighteen sampled
residents (Resident 30), who had lost 16 pounds in one month (8.65% unplanned weight loss), which is
severe weight loss. This led to Resident 30 losing more weight, which could prevent Resident 30's right heel
ulcer (pressure sore is an injury to the skin and underlying tissue) from healing or cause it to become
worse, and could cause an overall decline in Resident 30's physical wellbeing.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of Resident 30's admission Record indicated Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with a diagnosis including Cellulitis of the Left Lower Leg (a bacterial infection that affects the skin's deeper
layers), Muscle Weakness, Abnormalities of Gait (a manner of walking or moving on foot) and Mobility (the
ability of a patient to change and control their body position), Needs Assistance with Personal Care, Type
Two Diabetes (high blood sugar), amongst others.
A review of Resident 30's Weights documented from 11/9/23 through 6/3/24, indicated the following:

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide the necessary behavioral health
care and services (a range of treatments and services that address a person's mental and emotional
health) for one out of two sampled residents (Resident 27). This failure put Resident 27 at risk for worsening
of mental health symptoms, poor physical health, social isolation, and decreased quality of life.
Findings:
A review of Resident 27's face sheet (demographics) indicated Resident 27 was admitted on [DATE].
Resident 27's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized process for evaluating a resident's health and
functional abilities in a nursing home) assessment dated [DATE] indicated an active diagnoses of
Depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can
interfere with your daily living) and Persistent Mood Disorder (a continuous, long-term form of depression,
persistent feeling of low self-esteem, failure and hopelessness). Resident 27's Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and identify the cognition-the process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses of residents) dated 9/8/24 score was 7 out
of 15 indicating severely impaired cognition. Resident 27's functional abilities indicated she was dependent
on staff for provision of all care.
A review of Resident 27's Physician Order Summary (POS, a table view of all a patient's orders, including
the category, order item, frequency, status, and when the order was entered) indicated Resident 27 was
receiving an Antipsychotic (AP, used to treat psychotic disorder, a mental disorder that causes a person to
lose touch with reality) 7.5 milligram (mg, a unit of measure) at bedtime, and 2 Antidepressants (AD, drug
used to treat depression) for depression and insomnia (difficulty falling/staying asleep).
A review of Resident 27's electronic medication administration record (EMAR, digital version of the paper
records used to document a patient's medications) for 8/2024, 9/2024 and 10/2024 indicated her behaviors
included self isolation, withdrawal and hallucination.
During an observation on 10/21/24 at 10:15 a.m., Resident 27 was up in wheelchair. Resident 27 was
crying but denied pain or discomfort. Resident 27 was unable to verbalize why she was crying.
During an observation on 10/21/24 at 10:21 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) K stated Resident 27
cried no matter what staff did. CNA K stated Resident 27 cried while she was in bed, when she wanted to
transfer into wheelchair, but when Resident 27 was in her wheelchair, she would still cry. CNA K stated
sometimes he thought Resident 27 would only stop crying when she got tired from crying. CNA K stated no
one really knew why Resident 27 always cried. CNA K stated they try to cater to whatever she requested
them to do whenever she cried. CNA K stated sometimes this helped, other times it did not.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/23/24 at 10:35 a.m., Resident 27 continued to cry. LN
D stated crying was Resident 27's behavior. LN D stated Resident 27 did this all the time. LN D stated
Resident 27 mostly did this in the morning but usually calmed down after lunch. LN D stated Resident 27
was anxious that was why she cried. LN D stated Resident 27 wanted to get up and transfer to her
wheelchair but her aide was currently helping another resident. LN D stated they would attend to her
shortly.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 3:36 p.m., when asked what were Resident 27's behavior, the Minimum
Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) stated Resident 27's behavior included yelling, crying and hallucination. The
MDSC stated she knew Resident 27 still cried and yelled a lot but was not sure if Resident 27 still exhibits
hallucinations. When asked what could be causing Resident 27's behaviors, MDSC stated she wasn't sure
but stated Resident 27 had a lot of issues. MDSC verified Resident 27 was not receiving behavioral health
care services and treatment. MDSC stated Resident 27 was receiving an antipsychotic and an
antidepressant and was showing behaviors so Resident 27 should be receiving behavioral health care
services. MDSC stated Resident 27 had behavioral issues such as crying and yelling and these behaviors
were still an ongoing issue. MDSC stated Resident 27 would benefit from receiving behavioral health care
services and treatment because Resident 27 had a lot of issues. When asked why Resident 27 was not
receiving behavioral health care services and treatment, the MDSC stated, Resident 27 fell through the
crack and there was no one that came to the facility to provide the services.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 10:31 a.m., LN I stated Resident 27 did continue to exhibit behaviors of
crying and yelling. When asked if he knew how often and what could be causing Resident 27's crying and
yelling, LN I stated Resident 27 cried and yelled daily but was not sure what was the root cause of Resident
1's crying and yelling. LN I stated staff tried to address Resident 1's crying and yelling as it arose. LN I
stated Resident 1 did not receive behavioral health care and services because it was not available in the
facility. When asked why, LN I stated he did not know. LN I stated Resident 27 behavior of crying and yelling
out might improve if she was receiving behavioral health care and services. LN I stated Resident 27 should
be receiving behavioral health care and services to find out what might be causing Resident 1's behavior as
it might help with behavior modification.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 10:40 a.m., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated Resident 27
needed behavioral health care and services to help determine the root cause of Resident 27's behavior and
to possibly address Resident 27's behavior with behavior modification. The IDON stated Resident 27 was
qualified to be seen by behavioral health care and services because she was on psychiatric medications
and she was exhibiting negative behaviors such as crying and yelling which might cause her distress. The
IDON verified Resident 27 did not receive behavioral health care and services at this time. The IDON stated
she should be seen by behavioral health care and services to help address her behaviors. The IDON stated
not receiving behavioral health care and services placed Resident 27b at risk for emotional distress and
unmet needs.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 10:50 a.m., the MDSC stated Resident 27 should receive behavioral
health care and services. The MDSC stated not receiving behavioral health care and services could put
Resident 27 at risk for behavior to escalate, anxiety and poor quality of life.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Implement EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions: a set of infection control guidelines that use personal
protection equipment [PPE: gown and gloves] to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms
[MDROs: a bacteria that has become resistant to an antibiotic [medication that treats a bacterial infection])
for two of 18 sampled residents (Resident 30 and Resident 108) and five unsampled residents (Resident 8,
Resident 9, Resident 212, Resident 213, and Resident 214), who had wounds and required dressing
changes, and/or indwelling medical devices, such as a foley catheter (a flexible tube that is inserted into the
bladder to drain urine or a gastrostomy tube (G-tube: is a tube that is surgically inserted through the
abdominal wall and into the stomach to provide a way to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications directly to
the stomach.) and
2. Ensure a service technician wore a hairnet and beard covering when entering the kitchen to service a
refrigerator.
These failures had the potential for: 1. Residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices were at higher
risk of acquiring an MDRO and/or could serve as sources of transmission within the facility. MDROs can
cause serious infections that are hard to treat, which can lead to increased morbidity (disease and illness)
and mortality (death) for residents and 2. Food becoming contaminated causing foodborne illnesses to
spread in the facility.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 10/22/24 at 9:05 a.m., Resident 30 stated he had a dressing on his right foot.
Resident 30 stated the wound nurse, who came to the facility once per week, changed the dressing
yesterday.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 10:44 a.m., the IDON (Interim Director of Nursing) stated Resident 30
was admitted to the facility with a right heel PU (pressure ulcer: wound in the skin and tissue caused by
prolonged pressure on an area). The IDON stated Resident 30 was being seen by wound doctor.
During an interview on 10/24/24 2:30 p.m., the IIP (Interim Infection Preventionist) stated he did not believe
the facility had implemented EBP. The IIP stated any resident who had a history of MDRO or had active
MDRO, needed wound care, and/or had an indwelling device such as a Foley catheter, IV (intravenous
method of administering fluids within a vein), G-tube, amongst other internal devices, should be on EBP.
The IIP stated EBP should have been started but because the IP quit, EBP never was implemented at this
facility. The IIP stated implementing EBP was important to prevent the spread of infections, control the
spread from staff to resident, resident to staff and/or resident to resident. The IIP stated EBP was very
individualized. The IIP stated residents on EBP should have signage posted outside their room indicating
they were on EBP and a PPE cart with gowns and disposable gloves outside the resident's room. The IIP
stated the staff had not been trained on EBP.
During an observation on 10/24/24 at 4 p.m. there was no signage for EBP noted on the outside of any
resident's room nor PPE carts.

During an interview on 10/25/24 at 9:26 a.m., LN (License Nurse) I stated the wound care NP (Nurse
Practitioner) came every Monday and LN I rounded with the NP. LN I stated Resident 30 had a diabetic
(high blood sugar) PU (pressure ulcer: chronic Wound in the skin and tissue of the foot caused by a number
of factors related to diabetes) on his right heel. LN I was asked to give surveyor a list of residents on wound
care to see, which residents should have been on EBP.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the Preliminary Wound Reports, dated 10/21/24, signed by a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP),
indicated, Resident 8, Resident 9, Resident 30, Resident 108, Resident 212, and Resident 214 were all
receiving wound care by an FNP. Note: EBP had not been implemented for Resident 8, Resident 9,
Resident 30, Resident 108, Resident 212, and Resident 214.
A review of Resident 212's admission Recorded indicated Resident 212 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with a diagnosis including a Stage Four PU (Pressure Ulcer which deep, to the bone) located at the
Sacral Region (lower back), Retention of Urine (unable to empty bladder), History of Urinary Tract Infections
(infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract) among others.
A Review of Resident 212's Order Summary Report, dated 10/2024, indicated Resident 212 had an order
for an Indwelling Catheter (tube that goes into the bladder) to bedside drainage because of urine retention,
start date 9/24/24. Note: EBP had not been implemented for Resident 212, who had an indwelling device.
A review of Resident 213's admission Record indicated Resident 213 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with a diagnosis including a stroke, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), among others.
A review of Resident 213's Order Summary Report, dated 10/2024, indicated Resident 213 had an order
for Enteral Feed, every shift via G-Tube feeding (tube for feeding patient that goes into the stomach) dated
10/14/24. Note: EBP had not been implemented for Resident 213, who had an indwelling device.
The facility policy/procedure titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, dated 6/2022, indicated: Policy: It is the
policy of this facility to ensure that isolation procedure standard is based on the most up-to-date infection
control practice. Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to establish and provide guidelines for isolation
precautions as well as prevent transmission of infectious agents in the facility.
Responsible Discipline: The Director of Nurses (DON) and/or its designee shall be responsible for
implementation and enforcement of this policy. This responsibility maybe designated to the Facility's
Infection Control Preventionist. Definitions: Enhanced Barrier Precautions expand the use of PPE and refer
to the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for
transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. MDROs may be indirectly transferred from
resident-to-resident during these high-contact care activities. Key Points: Multidrug-resistant organism
(MDRO) transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing to substantial resident morbidity
and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are an infection control
intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove
use during high contact resident care activities. EBP may be indicated (when Contact Precautions do not
otherwise apply) for residents with any of the following: Wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of
MDRO colonization status Infection or colonization with an MDRO. Effective implementation of EBP
requires staff training on the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the availability of PPE
and hand hygiene supplies at the point of care .

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
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 maintain an effective pest control program to
ensure the facility was free of pests when flies were seen flying throughout the facility. The facility did not
adequately address the pest problem, leading to residents being bothered by flies in their room while trying
to rest and eat their meal. Flies were seen flying in the kitchen, which could lead to contamination of food
being prepared and the spread of disease.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/21/24 at 10:08 a.m., a fly was flying around Resident
30's bed. Resident 30 stated he had been having a fly issue and pointed to a plug-in bug trap, which
trapped flies, and a sticky fly paper trap hanging on the side of the curtain rod. There were multiple dead
flies in the plug-in bug trap and a few dead flies on the sticky fly paper trap. Resident 30 stated the cartridge
inside the plugin bug trap had not been changed for several weeks. Resident 30 had a portable fly fan on
his overbed table too. Resident 30 stated he normally did not get up because of his right foot ulcer (wound
in the skin that can get infected).
During an observation on 10/21/24 at 10:28 a.m., Resident 13, was resting in bed and was wearing light
washed jeans, when two black colored flies landed on his jeans.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 10/21/24 at 11:05 a.m., flies were flying in Resident 108's
room. Resident 108 stated he has been having an issue with flies and had asked his girlfriend to bring him
a fly swatter.

a Dietary Aide to disinfect the cart.
During a kitchen observation on 10/22/24 at 3:30 p.m., two flies were flying around in the kitchen. One fly
was flying around the dishwasher and the other fly was on the window in the dry goods pantry.
During an interview on 10/22/24 04:10 p.m., the Administrator (ADM) stated there has been a fly problem
this summer. The ADM stated the Pest Control Company thought the increase in flies was because of the
compost (the natural process of recycling organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps, into a valuable
fertilizer) on the outside near the Garden Hall. The surveyor pointed out to the ADM the surveyor assigned
to rooms in the Garden Hall had not seen any flies. Mostly in rooms in the [NAME] Hall and in the kitchen.
The ADM was asked about the fly issue in Resident 30's room who had a plug-in bug trap and a sticky fly
paper trap with many fiels trapped. The ADM stated the Pest Control Company did not spray for flies, only
for ants and spiders.
