soiled shirt. He had not been assisted in putting on a clean shirt since lunchtime.
During an observation on 6/12/24 at 6:05 p.m. Resident 12 was sitting up in bed getting ready for dinner
wearing a soiled shirt. During an observation at lunchtime Resident 12 had soiled his shirt while eating his
lunch in bed. This was the same soiled shirt Resident 12 had soiled at lunchtime. During two lunch
observations staff never offered Resident 12 anything such as a cloth napkin, especially since he tended to
spill on himself while feeding himself.

being totally assisted or set-up and assisted as needed. Unlicensed Staff C was feeding Resident 52, who
was a total assist. Resident 55 was sitting at the table next to Resident 52 waiting to be fed while the seven
other residents were either being fed or had been set-up and were feeding themselves.
During an observation 6/10/24 at 12:40 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C was done feeding Resident 52 and was
just starting to feed Resident 55, 22 minutes later. Unlicensed Staff C had to heat up Resident 55's food in
the microwave because Resident 55's hot food had gotten cold while waiting 22 minutes to be fed.
6. Resident 29
A review of Resident 29's Administration Record, indicated Resident 29 was admitted [DATE], with a
diagnosis of sequelae of cerebral infarction (stroke caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain),
convulsions (involuntary contracture of the muscles), feeding difficulties, muscle weakness, blindness right

nurse) for nine residents in the Assisted Dining Room. Resident 29 was trying to communicate in Spanish
but was being ignored. The staff in the Assisted Dining Room did not speak Spanish, so staff could not
understand Resident 29 in order to meet her dining needs. Unlicensed Staff C nor the nurse got someone
to communicated with Resident 29 in Spanish. Resident 29 was legally blind and no staff member was
sitting next to Resident 29 to guide her on where her food was on her plate. Unlicensed Staff C and the
nurse were both sitting at the other end of the table feeding a resident. Unlicensed Staff C did place a plate
guard (helps prevent food from accidentally being pushed off the plate while eating, minimizing spills at
mealtime) on Resident 29's plate and handed her a fork. Resident 29

started eating her pasta with her fingers and still no one came over to sit next to Resident 29 to guide her
with using her fork and with the placement of food items on her plate. Resident 29 was not offered a
washcloth after she ate her pasta with her fingers.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 12:33 p.m., the DON (Director of Nursing) stated there were a few staff,
such as the lead housekeeper and an Activities Assistant who spoke Spanish but they were gone for a few
months and a few CNAs who could interpret for Resident 29. The DON stated, Yes, it was a dignity issue if
a resident had to use their fingers to feed themselves like Resident 29, who was legally blind and
cognitively impaired because a nurse or CNA was not available to assist the resident with their meal or
snack. It was a dignity issue if Resident 29, whose primary language was Spanish, did not have a staff
member to communicating with Resident 29 in Spanish in order to guide Resident 29 on where her food
was placed on her plate/meal tray.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 2:30 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C stated it was a dignity issue when residents
had to wait to be fed. Unlicensed Staff C stated a resident who was incontinent should be changed every
two hours. Unlicensed Staff C stated a resident should not wait no more than three to five minutes for a
staff member to answer their call light.

During an interview on 6/20/24 at 6:02 p.m., Resident 40 stated he did need assistance transferring from
his wheelchair to the toilet. Resident 40 stated how staff treated him depended on their mood and how their
day was going. Resident 40 felt the CNAs were too young and had not lived yet. Resident 40 stated he
wanted the staffs' attitude to stop at his room door. Resident 40 stated when a resident vomited on herself
by the Nurses Station, staff did not take her back to her room to clean her up. The staff left the resident out
by the Nurses Station with vomit all over her. Resident 40 stated when the nurses or CNAs came into his
room, he wanted the bullshit to stop. Resident 40 stated the residents were here for a reason and needed
to be treated with dignity and respect. Resident 40 stated a CNA would come into his room, turn off his call
light, and then he would wait ten minutes to one hour. Resident 40 stated he would use the call light
because he needed to be transferred to use the bathroom either to urinate or have a bowel movement.
Resident 40 stated her wore a brief too. Resident 40 stated the staff should be at the facility to take care of
us, the residents, but many he feels were just working for a paycheck. Resident 40 repeated, Really feels
like staff were just here for the paycheck.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 15 out of 81 residents
(Resident 25, Resident 68, Resident 6, Resident 12, Resident 55, Resident 29, Resident 40, Resident 35,
Resident 3, Resident 65, Resident 21, Resident 46, Resident 50, Resident 2, & Resident 58) were treated
with dignity and respect when:
1. The facility did not ensure Resident 25's sweater was changed after becoming soiled with food particles.
2. The facility did not ensure Resident 68 was given a timely notice, and agreed to a room change, prior to
transferring him to a new room.
3. Resident 6's toenails were not trimmed for months, which caused her discomfort while wearing shoes.

from the business office to move Resident 68 to another room the morning of 6/19/24 because they were
admitting a resident that was imprisoned, and he needed to be placed in Resident 68's hallway, and since
there were no beds available, they needed Resident 68's space. According to the Social Services Director,
Resident 68 was asked for his permission, and he stated it was ok to move him. The Social Services

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and records review, the facility failed to provide seven of seven residents (Resident 21,
Resident 6, Resident 46, Resident 50, Resident 2, Resident 58, and Resident 25) the contact information of
the California Department of Public Health where they can file complaints regarding possible abuse,
neglect, exploitation, amongst other possible violation of state or federal regulations. This failure left the
residents not knowing and deprived them their right to be able to formally file a complaint to the State about
the care they were receiving at the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During an interview at the Resident Council meeting on 06/11/24, at 2:40 PM, when asked if they knew how
to contact the Department to file a complaint, none of the seven residents present knew how and where to
contact the State.
A review of the regulatory Health and Safety Code §483.10(g)(4)(i)(C)(D)(ii)(vi) The resident has the

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the environment was kept free of
offensive odors throughout the building. At all times of the day, an unpleasant smell which consisted of
feces, urine and strong body odors permeated the air inside the facility. This finding had the potential to
result in discomfort, headache, nausea, eye and nose irritations, among many other symptoms, to the
residents of the facility.
Findings:
During an observation, while entering the building for the first time during the recertification survey, on
6/10/24 at 8:45 a.m., the smell in the hallways of the facility was almost unbearable. The odor smelled like a
combination of human feces and urine, strong body odors, dirt, and grime. The hallway was covered by a
dark carpet that had visible stains in several areas.
During initial tour of the facility on 06/10/24, at 8:45 AM, a foul odor was noted in the North Hall.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/24 at 10:16 a.m., Resident 27's room smelled so
bad, the odor was unbearable. Neither Resident 27, nor his roommate where inside the room at the time.
Unlicensed Staff C came into the room and confirmed the offensive odor. Unlicensed Staff C proceeded to
remove Resident 27's top bedsheet from his bed, and noticed the sheets underneath were soaked with
urine and feces.
During an observation on 6/11/24, at 8:25 AM walking through the North Hall from the lobby passing
through rooms 125 down to 133 noted the foul odor of something like a combination of sweat, urine, and
body odor.
During continued observation on 6/12/24, at 8:39 AM, the same strong foul odor in the North Hall was
noted.
During an interview on 6/12/24, at 5:32 PM, when asked if she noted the foul odor in the hallway especially
the North Hall, the IP stated she had not noticed the foul smell in the hallway especially North Hall. The IP
stated nobody reported the foul odor to her, otherwise she could have addressed it.
During continued observation on 6/13/24, at 8:26 AM, the foul odor was again noted while walking down
the North Hall. The foul odor was again noted in the North Hall on 6/13/24 3:15 PM.
During an interview on 6/14/24, at 11:06 AM, Unlicensed Staff K when asked what the reason is why the
North Hall smell so bad, stated the musty smell in the North Hall could be because there were more
residents in the hall who eliminate urine or feces in bed. Unlicensed Staff K stated, the Janitor shampooed
the carpet every week.
During an interview on 6/14/24, at 11:18 AM, when asked what she can smell in the North Hallway, the
ADON stated she can smell deodorant spray. When asked why the North Hall especially from across room
[ROOM NUMBER] down the hallway smell bad, the ADON stated she thinks the smell on North Hallway

especially by room [ROOM NUMBER] was because both residents could have their linens/bedding wet with
urine especially in the morning and will smell if not changed soon.
During an interview with Resident 14 on 6/14/24 at 11:30 a.m., she confirmed the odor in the facility was
very offensive but stated she had gotten used to it by now, so she could barely smell it anymore.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview with Resident 40 on 6/14/24 at 3:15 p.m., he confirmed the facility smelled, awful, and
stated his family, who visited him often, had complained about the odor. Resident 40 stated that he had
gotten used to it, but when he was first admitted to the facility, the odor really bothered him. Resident 40
stated he felt the odor was partially caused by the lack of sufficient staff, who did not change the briefs and
soiled clothing of the residents often enough. Resident 40 stated he had observed residents who had
vomited, sitting in front of the nursing station with their clothing full of vomit, and no one would change
them.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/21/24 at 10:17 a.m., she stated being aware of
the offensive smell in the environment. The DON stated that when she was first hired, approximately a year
ago, she bought several air fresheners for her office, because the smell was bothersome, but now, she had
gotten used it.
Record review of the facility policy titled, Resident Rooms and Environment, last revised on 1/01/21,
indicated, The Facility provides residents with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. Facility
Staff will provide residents with a pleasant environment and person-centered care that emphasizes the

Not transfer or discharge a resident without an adequate reason; and must provide documentation and
convey specific information when a resident is transferred or discharged.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of 23 sampled residents (Resident
51) clinical record included a physician discharge order, a completed signed Discharge Assessment and a
physician Discharge Summary of Care. The lack of completed discharge documentation had the potential to
result in the lack of communication between the facility, the physician, and Resident 51 and/or Resident
51's responsible party, and a potential to affect continuity of care, such as Resident 1's overall readiness for
discharge, medication, activities, diet, and/or follow-up visits, which could have impacted Resident 51's
continuity of care leading to an unsafe discharge to home. In addition, Resident 51's physician not
completing Resident 51's Summary of Care had the potential for the next care provider to receive
insufficient information to properly care for the resident, which could impact the resident's health and
wellbeing.
Findings:
A review of Resident 51's Change of Condition Summary, dated 3/1/24, indicated Resident 51 was
discharged on 3/1/24 at 12 p.m. to home, with son. The nurse documented she went over Resident 51's
discharge medications with Resident 51 and Resident 51's son and gave them a copy of the medications
Resident 51 was to continue. The physician discharge order, nurse's Discharge Assessment and the
physician's Discharge Summary Report were not loctaed in Resident 51's medical record.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 10:26 a.m., the Business Office Manager stated Resident 51 wanted to
go home and was discharged to home on 3/1/24. When asked where Resident 51's physician discharge
order was located, the Business Office Manager stated she would go get it in Resident 51's hard copy
located in the Medical Records Office.
During an interview on 6/12/24 t 11:16 a.m., the Business Office Manager stated she could not find
Resident 51's discharge order. The Business Office Manager was asked if Resident 51's physician had
completed a Physician Discharge Summary. The Business Office Manager stated she would go look for
both documents.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 6:10 p.m., the Administrator and the Business Office Manager stated the
physician order for Resident 51 to be discharged to home was not written by the nurse. The Discharge
Order could not be found. The Physician Discharge Summary report could not be found as of yet either.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 6:02 p.m., the Administrator stated there was no Discharge Order written
for Resident 51 and Resident's 51's physician did not complete a Physician Discharge Summary report on
Resident 51.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/14/24 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator stated she
looked one more time and could not locate a Discharge Order for Resident 51, indicating Resident 51's
physician discharged Resident 51 to home, and the Administrator could not find a Physician Discharge
Summary report. The Administrator gave a partial Discharge Assessment completed by the nurse
indicating Resident 51 went home with his son, who was going to be his caregiver. The Discharge
Assessment was incomplete and there was no signature from the resident and/or responsible party
indicating all discharge instructions were discussed including medications to continue and if a list of
medications was given to Resident 51 or his responsible party.

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 accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident
assessment and care screening tool) for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 12) under Section K
(Swallowing/Nutritional Status), by not indicating Resident 12 was on a physician-prescribed weight loss
plan. This had the potential to cause errors in Resident 12's medical treatment in order for Resident 12 to
maintain an ideal physician direct weight loss recommendation order below 200 pounds (160-190 pounds)
and an appropriate care plan with the necessary interventions to address nutrition. This could have further
caused increased debilitating conditions, affecting Resident 12's health and quality of life.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
A review of Resident 12's admission Record indicated Resident 12 was admitted on [DATE], with a
diagnosis that included paranoid schizophrenia (a mental disorder) and hallucinations (seeing, feeling, or
hearing something that isn't there),chronic pain, borderline personality disorder (a mental illness), altered
mental status (a disruption in how your brain works that causes a change in behavior), amongst others.
A review of Resident 12's Annual MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment process provides a
comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health
problems), dated 5/15/24, indicated Resident 12 was severely cognitively impaired (issues with
memory,reasoning, decision making). Section K: Swallowing/Nutritional Status, indicated Resident 12
weighed180 pounds, had lost 5% or more in the last month or 10% or more in the last six months, and
resident was not on a physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen.
A review of Resident 12's Order Summary Report, dated 6/19/24, indicated the following order: MD (Doctor
of Medicine: physician) directed weight loss recommendation from RD (Registered Dietician). Current BMI
(Body Mass Index: BMI screens for weight categories that may lead to health problems, BMI ranging from
18.5 to 24.9 was a healthy weight range) was 26.9 for his height and weight. Ideal weight below 200 lbs.,
(160-190 lbs.), order date 2/21/23.
A review of Resident 12's Potential Nutritional Risk care plan, revision on 5/9/24 by the RD, indicated,
Focus: weight loss past 12 months, desirable likely resident meal consumption, diuresis (an increase in the
amount of urine made by the kidney and passed by the body), and per MD: weight goal 160-190 lbs.
Current BMI 28.2. Diet No Added Salt (NAS, regular texture and thin liquids. Supplement: Health shake
three times per day. Goals included weight goal: 160-190 lbs. per MD, initiated 5/9/24 by the RD.
A Review of Resident 12's Skin and Weight Review' dated 3/21/24, 3/29/24, 4/5/24, and 4/11/24, under the
Clinical section completed by the ADON (Assisted Director of Nursing), indicated Resident 12 had a
Significant Weight Loss, but his weight was 175.9-180.6, which was within the MD directed weight loss
recommendation from the RD and care planned.
During a phone interview on 6/13/24 at 3:42 pm., the RD stated she did a Weight Variance meeting with the
ADON and the Dietary Manager every Wednesday at 1 p.m. They looked over weekly and monthly weight
concerns. The RD stated the MDS Coordinator was not involved with Section K of the MDS, the Dietary
Manager completed Section K of the MDS. It was pointed out to the RD Section K0300: Weight Loss

physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen when it should have been coded as a one, Yes, on
physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen.
During a phone interview on 6/18/24 at 10:45 a.m., the RD stated she reviewed the residents' weight gain
and weight loss issues with the Dietary Manager. The RD stated many of the residents' weight gain or loss
issues had been coded wrong on their MDS such as Resident 12's Annual MDS, dated [DATE], which had
indicated Resident 12's weight loss was not physician prescribed when it was physician prescribed. The RD
stated a quarterly care conference took place with the Dietary Manager, MDS Coordinator, and the ADON,
who assisted with Section K of the MDS. The RD stated the MDS Coordinator was not responsible for
completing Section K of the MDS, the Dietary Manager completed Section K. The MDS Coordinator would
double check to make sure Section K was completed, but not for accuracy.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 8:45 a.m., the ADON stated she was not familiar with the MDS. The
ADON stated the Dietary Manager filled out Section K: Swallowing and Nutritional Status section of the
MDS. During an interview on 6/19/24 at 1:25 p.m., the Administrator stated the DON's (Director of Nursing)

an order for oxygen (O2) at two liters to keep Resident 33's O2 saturation (sat: a measure of how much
oxygen is circulating in your blood) above 91%,
3. Resident 33 was not care planned for Risk of Constipation when Resident 33's electronic medical record
under the bowel movement (BM) task indicated Resident 33 had not had a BM multiple times four or more
days (anywhere from five to 15 days),
4. Resident 227 was not care planned for Risk for Falls when her admission Fall Risk Assessment indicated
Resident 227 was moderately at risk for falls and after Resident 227 fell on day two of her admission nor
was Resident 227 care planned for Falls after Resident 227 fell two weeks later, and
5. Resident 127 was not cared planned for an episode of shortness of breath and low oxygen saturation
with a physician order for oxygen at 2-3 liters per minute (O2 at 2-3 L/min) via nasal cannula to keep
oxygen saturation above 92%.
The lack of care plans had the potential for direct care staff not to monitor, treat, and reassess and/or
prevent:
1. Resident 12 not being supervised closely and positioned properly while eating in bed, which could have
led to him choking and even aspirating leading to further medical decline, hospitalization and even death,
2. Resident 33's not receiving required oxygen to keep saturation above 91%, and Resident 33's abdomen
feeling full, bloated, and in pain, hard stools causing hemorrhoids (swollen veins in your lower rectum),
unexplained weight loss, amongst other health issues, which could lead to Resident 33 being hospitalized ,
3. Resident 227 from having two more falls, which did occurr two weeks later and had the potential to cause
serious injury, hospitalization, and even death.
4. This failure had the potential for Resident 127 to have excessive oxygen administration and poisoning
resulting to drying of nasal and upper airway, coughing, trouble breathing, convulsions, amnesia, lung
damage, or slow her breathing and heart rate to dangerous levels, or worse, death.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 12's admission Record indicated Resident 12 was admitted on [DATE], with a
diagnosis that included paranoid schizophrenia (a mental disorder), chronic pain, borderline personality
disorder (a mental illness), altered mental status (change in cognition), gastro-esophageal reflux disease
without esophagitis (when acid flows back from the stomach into the esophagus but no inflammation of the
esophagitis), amongst others.
A review of Resident 12's Annual MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment process provides a
comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health
problems), dated 5/15/24, indicated Resident 12 was severely cognitively impaired (serious issues with
memory, reasoning and decision making).
A review of Resident 12's Alert Note, dated 11/13/2023, indicated: Resident 12 unable to swallow food at
lunch, meatball became lodged in mouth and resident requires staff assist to pull from mouth.

A ST (Speech Therapist's) Evaluation and Treatment was ordered after episode.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident 12's ST Evaluation, dated 11/17/23, indicated the ST tested Resident 12's
swallowing/food intake abilities. ST indicated she posted oral intake (food and beverage) management
requirements at Resident 12's bedside and communicated to nursing.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 12's Comprehensive care plan had no Risk for Choking/Aspiration (food or liquid
enters a person's airway and eventually the lungs by accident, which could lead to serious health issues
such as pneumonia and chronic lung scarring) Precautions care plan initiated after Resident 12 choked on
a meatball on 11/13/23 nor after the ST's evaluation, dated 11/17/23, for swallowing/food intake abilities.
During a concurrent observation and review of the ST's oral intake instructions posted on the back wall,
right of Resident 12's headboard on 6/10/24 at 1:01 p.m., the ST instructions were as follows: 1. Complete
meal set-up: open drinks, add condiments, and cut foods, 2. Frequent Spot Checks required to ensure
safety, 3. Diagram showing 90 degree position (seated upright with one's spine straight) Resident 12
needed to be positioned to eat his meals, and 4. Note indicating if Resident 12 refused his head of bed
upright hold solid foods until Resident 12 allows upright position. Resident 12 was positioned approximently
65 degrees while feeding himself lunch. Resident 12's meal tray was placed on his overbed table, which
was in front of him, but Resident 12 had to reach his food because Resident 12's head of bed was not
positioned 90 degrees. No nurse or CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) was observed Spot Checking
Resident 12 to ensure safety, making sure Resident 12 was not having difficulties with swallowing his food.
During an observation on 6/10/24 a 01:08 p.m., no Nurse or CNA checked on Resident 12 per the ST
instructions while Resident 12 continued feeding himself with his right hand.
During an observation on 6/10/24 at 1:12 p.m., no CNA or nurse checked on Resident 12 while he
continued feeding himself his lunch. Resident 12 was drifting off to sleep with his fork in his hand.
During an observation on 6/10/24 at 1:14 p.m., Resident 12 was still feeding himself and no nurse or CNA
checked on Resident 12 per ST instructions: Frequent Spot Checks required to ensure safety. Another
surveyor observed Resident 12's eating position and indicated Resident 12 was at a 60-degree position
while eating his lunch in bed.
During a phone interview on 6/13/24 at 8:55 a.m., the ST stated Resident 12's swallow evaluation was a
long time ago. The ST stated it may have been Resident 12 had a choking episode and those were
instructions to be followed to prevent Resident 12 from choking on his food while he fed himself. The ST
stated if Resident 12 could not tolerate his bed being positioned at 90 degrees while feeding himself,
Resident 12's nurse or CNA should pop in to make sure he is tolerating feeding himself and not choking.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 12:03 p.m., the MDS Coordinator had been asked why Resident 12 did
not have a Risk for Choking/Aspiration care plan initiated after he choked on a meatball at lunchtime on
11/13/23 or after the ST's posted oral intake precautions instructions at Resident 12's bedside. The MDS
Coordinator stated Resident 12's Choking care plan was the ST's evaluation of Resident 12 and Resident
12 did not need an At Risk for Choking/Aspiration care plan initiated in his Comprehensive Care Plan.
When the MDS Coordinator was asked again, if a resident had a choking episode, a Risk for
Choking/Aspiration care plan would not have to be initiated in the resident's Comprehensive

Care Plan, the MDS Coordinator stated that was correct. The MDS Coordinator stated the ST had created
a paper care plan for Resident 12 that could be print off and/or the nurses could find the ST care plan in
Resident 12's electronic medical record. The MDS Coordinator did not print off Resident 12's ST care plan
from Resident 12's electronic medical record when she was being interviewed. The MDS Coordinator had
to go to the Rehabilitation Department to find Resident 12's ST care plan started by the ST after she
evaluated Resident 12 on 11/17/23.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 1:25 p.m., the Administrator stated if a resident had a choking episode
like Resident 12 did on 11/13/23, a short-term care plan should have been started regarding the episode
and then a long term care plan should have been initiated on Resident 12's Comprehensive Care Plan after
the ST completed Resident 12's swallowing evaluation on 11/17/23.
2. A review of Resident 33's admission Record indicated Resident 33 was admitted on [DATE], with a
diagnosis including stroke, hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of the body) affecting the left
side, dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia (too much carbon
dioxide in one's blood), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (not enough oxygen in one's blood), chronic
respiratory failure, delusional disorder (a mental disorder), bipolar disorder (a mental disorder), bed
confinement status, morbid (severe) obesity, amongst others.
A review of Resident 33's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 33 was severely cognitive
impaired (never/rarely made decisions), Section I - Active Diagnosis indicated Resident 33 had a diagnosis
of Respiratory Failure, and Section O - Special Treatments and Programs, indicated Resident 33 was on
Oxygen (O2) therapy.
A review of Resident 33's Order Summary Report, dated 6/20/24, indicated O2 at 2 Liters (L) per minute to
keep Sats (Saturation: measures how much oxygen is in the blood) above 91% every shift for O2 Therapy
per MD (Doctor of Medicine). Resident 33 can remove O2 if she wants but must be maintained for
unverbalized drops in O2 Sat levels, start date 3/28/23 and Shortness of Breath Monitoring every shift for
O2 Therapy, start date 12/8/23.
During a concurrent interview and electronic medical record review on 6/14/24 at 11:30 a.m., the
Administrator stated she could not find an At Risk for Respiratory Failure/ Oxygen Therapy care plan
initiated for Resident 33. The Administrator stated an At Risk for Respiratory Failure/ Oxygen Therapy care
plan should have been started when Resident 33 started O2 Therapy. The Administrator stated the MDS
Coordinator or Charge nurse should have started a care plan. The Administrator stated any nurse on the
floor could have initiated Resident 33's At Risk for Respiratory Failure/O2 Therapy care plan, with the goal
of Resident 33's O2 SAT level being maintained at 91% or greater.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 10:15 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated Resident 33 not having an At
Risk for Respiratory Failure/O2 Therapy care plan should have been caught on Resident 33's Quarterly
MDS review, dated 3/12/24 or Resident 33's IDT (Interdisciplinary Team: a group of health care
professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their clients) meeting.
The MDS Coordinator stated any nurse could have initiated Resident 33's At Risk for Respiratory
Failure/O2 Therapy care plan.

A review of Resident 227's Fall Risk Evaluations, dated 5/26/24 and 5/28/24, both indicated Resident 227
was at moderate risk for falls.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 227's Fall Risk care plan, initiated 6/9/24, indicated, Focus: Resident 227 was at risk
for falls related to hemiplegia (paralysis) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness). No goals and interventions
were initiated in order to maintain and maximize Resident 227's quality of life, while minimizing Resident's
risk of having another fall to prevent another injury.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 12:05 p.m., the DON was asked if the facility had a Fall Committee, and
the DON stated the facility did not have a Fall Committee. The DON stated Risk Management would
document about the fall and 72-hour charting would take place (monitoring the resident post fall). The DON
stated falls were talked about at the resident's care conference and at the start of shift huddles (change of
shift report given by the off going nurses).
During an interview on 6/14/24 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator was asked why Resident 227 had not had
an At Risk for Fall care plan initiated after her first fall. The Administrator did not answer the question and
stated residents at risk for falls had a Humpty Dumpty card posted next to the residents' room name
placard. The Administrator stated staff didn't know which resident in the room was at risk for falls, but the
staff was aware that one or more residents in the room were at risk for falls. The Administrator stated the
nurses and CNAs were also notified which residents were at risk for falls during the change of shift huddle.
During a concurrent interview and record review, dated 6/19/24 at10:20 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated a
resident who was at risk for falls should have had an At Risk for Falls care plan prioritized. The MDS
Coordinator reviewed Resident 227's care plan and confirmed, Resident 227 did not have a care plan
initiated after her first fall. The MDS Coordinator stated the nurse should have started an At Risk for Fall
care plan after Resident 227's first fall occurred.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure their policy was followed and
comprehensive care plans for 2 of 24 sampled residents (Resident 28, Resident 51) were reviewed and
revised after every fall at the facility. This failure resulted in the resident's care not being reviewed by the
interdisciplinary team to mitigate additional falls, and had the potential to result in low quality of care, harm
and death to the residents involved.
Findings:
Resident 28
Record review indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses
including History of Falling (History of having suffered falls, which may indicate increased risk for future
falls), Difficulty in Walking, and Muscle Weakness, according to the facility Face Sheet (Facility
Demographic).
1st Fall:
Record review of Resident 28's progress note dated 1/18/24 at 12:45 a.m., indicated, Responded to
resident's room after a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated that the resident was observed on the floor.
Resident was sitting on her bottom on the floor at the foot of her bed.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 6/20/24 at
5:10 p.m., she stated that after the fall on 6/18/24, a care plan for falls had been developed with the
following interventions, 72 hour Neuro (Neurological assessments) started (The DON was unable to find
neurological checks for this fall, above) .[name of hospital] evaluation offered and refused .Wound care
provided. No interventions were present in the care plan for increased supervision of Resident 28 to
prevent further falls.
2nd Fall
Record review of a nursing progress note dated 2/12/24 at 12:44 p.m., indicated, Resident was observed,
sitting on the ground with her arm and elbow stuck in the bed rail of the bed. The resident stated she just
slipped trying to get up causing her arm to get stuck in the bed rail. An abrasion is present on her right
elbow.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the DSD on 6/20/24 at 5:10 p.m., she stated there
was no evidence the care plan for falls for Resident 28 had been revised or updated after the fall on
2/12/24. No new interventions were added, included increased supervision.
3rd Fall
Record review of a nursing progress note dated 2/16/24 at 3:05 p.m., stated, resident was observed on the
floor in her bathroom, when asked what happened the resident stated that she slipped in water or
something and landed on her knee.

Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 232 was left with a soiled disposable brief for a prolonged period of time, which damaged the
skin underneath severely. This failure had the potential to result in infections and development of pressure
injuries, and may have contributed to the severe pain Resident 232 suffered at the end of his life.
2. Resident 14, who required assistance with ADLs was not provided with frequent incontinence care
(Cleaning and drying of the genital areas of a resident with loss of bowel and bladder control) and
repositioning. This had the potential to result in the development of pressure injuries, pain, shame, and
feelings of distress and frustration.
3. Resident 67 & Resident 4, who were at risk for dehydration, were not provided drinking water. This had
the potential to result in dehydration, discomfort, and feelings of frustration.

Resident 232 was left with the same disposable brief because in the GACH they used a different type of
disposable briefs as in the facility, and two days after Resident 232 had returned to the facility from the
GACH, he was still wearing the same disposable brief he came with from the GACH. According to Family
Member N, staff were also supposed to swab Resident 232's mouth every twenty minutes during his final

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 2 of 24 sampled residents (Resident
28 and Resident 15) and one discharged resident (Resident 233) who were at risk for falls and had a
history of falls, were provided with supervision by direct care staff, and had effective revisions and
implementation of their nursing care plans to prevent further falls to keep them safe. Facility policies on
safety and management of falls were not followed. As a result, Resident 28, Resident 15 & Resident 233
suffered falls with major injuries at the facility. This may have contributed to Resident 233's death, and
Resident 28's dramatic decline, as she is now expected to pass away within 6 months. In addition, 2 of 24
sampled residents suffered falls without major injuries (Resident 227 and Resident 51), due to lack of
supervision, creation, revision, and implementation care plans to prevent falls. This had the potential to
result in injuries with major injuries, including death to the residents involved.
Findings:
Record review indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses
including History of Falling (History of having suffered falls, which may indicate increased risk for future
falls), Difficulty in Walking, and Muscle Weakness, according to the facility Face Sheet (Facility
Demographic).

all of Resident 28's active care plans and could not find a care plan for care of the right hip fracture.
Record review of all care conferences conducted for Resident 28 since January 1st to the present (6/21/24)
indicated only one care conference was conducted for Resident 28 in 2024, and this was on 1/15/24,
despite all her falls. This care conference did not include any documentation on falls.
During an interview with Unlicensed Staff H (Resident 28's assigned nursing assistant) on 6/19/24 at 5:35
p.m., she stated she checked on Resident 28 every hour. Unlicensed Staff H stated Resident 28 thought
she could do more than she was capable of doing, and sometimes she would forget things. Unlicensed
Staff H also stated Resident 28 needed supervision for toileting.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 5:45 p.m., Licensed Staff I, (Resident 28's assigned nurse) stated that
prior to Resident 28's last fall with fracture (Which occurred on 6/12/24) Resident 28 was very wobbly
because she was recovering from a urinary tract infection. Licensed Staff I stated she did not check on the
resident at regular time intervals.

observed in bed at the time of the interview.
During an interview with Anonymous Witness J on 6/14/24 at 4:15 p.m., he/she stated Resident 28 had
fallen frequently because administration would not institute a one to one (One staff assigned to only one
resident for increased care or supervision) to work with her, and in addition, Resident 28 did not have tab
alarms (Alarms that detect motion and notify staff that a resident is on the move). Anonymous Witness YY
stated certified nursing assistants were assigned 16 to 20 residents per shift, which did not provide them
enough time to perform all activities of daily living (Activities for personal care, such as showering, toileting,
etc.) and supervise residents at risk for falls. Anonymous Witness J also stated that even if the facility had
enough certified nursing assistants to work as a one to one with a resident at risk for falls, the Administrator
would send them home, and only once, in his/her employment at the facility, had he/she observed a one to
one, and it was because the resident was extremely aggressive.
Record review of a progress note dated 6/13/24 at 11:16 a.m., indicated, Resident RP (Patient
representative) mailed a letter for IDT (Interdisciplinary team) conference to discuss falls and 6 month or

During an interview with the Dietary Manager on 6/20/24 at 4:30 p.m., he stated he had discussed
Resident 25's weight loss issues with the Registered Dietician during their weekly phone meetings, since
the Registered Dietician only came to the facility once every quarter. The Dietary Manager was asked to
provide documentation of those meetings, but he stated he did not know where to find that documentation.
The Dietary Manager stated the Registered Dietician or MDS (Minimum Data Set-An assessment tool)
nurse were responsible for updating or revising the care plan for weight loss. The Dietary Manager reviewed
the May and June, 2024, meal consumption report for Resident 25 and confirmed the documentation was
missing and incomplete.
Residents Affected - Some
During a phone interview with the Registered Dietician on 6/21/24 at 9:13 a.m., she confirmed being aware
that Resident 25 was having a severe weight loss. The Registered Dietician stated Resident 25 was
provided health shakes, snacks and mirtazapine to prevent further weight loss (however, these
interventions had been in place since September of 2023, and Resident 25 had continued to lose weight).
When asked the reason the care plan for weight loss for Resident 25 had not been revised or updated
despite her weight loss, and no new interventions had been added to prevent further weight loss, the
Registered Dietician stated she did not know what other interventions to try. The Registered Dietician
confirmed the care plan had not been revised or updated recently. The Registered Dietician was asked if
she notified the physician when a resident was identified as having a significant weight loss. The Registered
Dietician stated she did not notify the physician, as this was a nursing task. The Registered Dietician was
asked how she ensured Licensed Nurses notified the physician of this, and she responded nursing would
let her know if there was no follow-up.

It was also noted that despite the lack of professional clinical licensure and lack of professional scope of
practice, the Dietary Manager was Initiating/creating/updating a Risk for Nutritional Problems care plan,
completing the Dietary part of the Skin and Weight Reviews, completing the K-Section of the MDS, and
doing the resident's Quarterly Dietary Assessments.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the facility RD'S Dietary Consultant Services Agreement, start date 7/17/23, was vague and
had no indication of how often the RD had to do in person visits in order to meet the nutritional needs of
residents who have severe weight loss and other Nutritional problems, causing a decline in resident's
health.
A review of the facility job description titled, CNA, undated, indicated: . General Duties and Responsibilities:
General - . Assist in preparing residents for meals (taking to/ from dining room, serving trays, placing bibs,
assisting in feeding or cutting food, removal of trays, supervision in dining room, etc.), Serve nourishment in
accordance with established facility procedures,
Feed residents who cannot feed themselves, Assure that resident's food is accessible and self-help devices
are available as needed . Clinical - .Record resident's food and nourishment intake as directed . Chart
required information every shift .
A review of the job description titled, Charge Nurse, undated, indicated: . General Duties and
Responsibilities: . Supervision: . *Check all residents daily to assure that prescribed treatment is being
properly administered by nursing personnel/ assistants and to evaluate their physical and emotional status.
Record findings in the resident's chart .
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and
services related to significant and/or severe weight loss or gain for five out of 23 sampled residents
(Resident 12, 20, 25, 29 and 227) to ensure the residents maintained an acceptable nutritional status
because:
1. The RD (Registered Dietician) was making quarterly visits (once every three months), which led to
minimal in person resident assessments,
2. The RD failed to fully tailor the resident's nutritional interventions to the resident's needs and monitor the
continued relevance of those interventions such as residents' functional factors and lack of adequate
assistance or supervision during meals,
3. The Dietary Manager who has no professional scope of practice was completing the resident's Annual
and Quarterly Dietary Progress Notes which included recommendations and initiating resident's Nutritional
Risk care plan,
4. The Dietary Manager incorrectly coded residents who had either lost or gained a significant amount of
weight in their MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment process provides a comprehensive
assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health problems) under Section
K (Swallowing/Nutritional Status). The coding for Residents 20 indicated, a physician-prescribed weight
gain regimen when the physician had not written an order. The coding for Resident 12 indicated, not on

6. Residents' meal and fluid intake was not being monitored closely, and
7. Residents who needed supervision with their meals and fluid intake were not consistently supervised.
These failures had the potential to place Resident 12, Resident 20. Resident 25, Resident 29, and Resident
227 at risk for altered nutritional status and/or dehydration (occurs when you use or lose more fluid than
you take in, and your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions) that
could lead to further health complications, hospitalization and even death.
Findings:
Review of a Practice Paper published by the American Dietetic Association, dated 2010, indicated In older
adults, a 5% or more unplanned weight loss in 30 days often results in protein-energy undernutrition as
critical lean body mass is lost.that may trigger sarcopenia [a condition characterized by loss of skeletal
muscle mass and function] and functional decline [a loss of independence in self-care capabilities and
deterioration in mobility and in activities of daily living]. (American Dietetic Association: Individualized
Nutrition Approaches for Older Adults in Health Care Communities, October 2010 Journal of the American
Dietetic Association).
Involuntary weight loss can lead to muscle wasting depression and an increased rate of disease
complications. Various studies demonstrated a strong correlation between weight loss and morbidity and
mortality. (February 15, 2002/Volume 65, Number 4 www.aafp.org/afp American Family Physician)
A publication titled, Nutrition Care of the Older Adult from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, dated
2016, indicated the goal of Medical Nutrition Therapy is to maintain or restore the individual's usual body
weight. During a review of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Evidence Analysis Library regarding
Unintended Weight Loss for Older Adults Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines (2007-2009),
indicated: the Registered Dietitian (RD) should monitor and evaluate weekly body weights of older adults
with unintended weight loss, until body weight has stabilized, to determine effectiveness of medical nutrition
therapy (MNT).

Gradual unintended weight loss over time is known as insidious weight loss. This can be where an older
adult loses only 1-2 pounds per month, but for a continued period. When addressing unintentional weight
loss, one needs to figure out why, if possible, the root cause of unintended weight loss (Geriatric Dietitian,
3/31/22).
A Nutrition-focused physical findings assessment, often referred to as clinical assessment, are findings
from evaluation of body systems, muscle and subcutaneous fat wasting, oral health, hair, skin and nails,
signs of edema, suck/swallow/breath ability, appetite and affect. The intent of this assessment is to
intervene in findings that are relevant to patient care. (Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,
2013).
The National Library of Medicine defines the care planning process as a systematic process to
client-centered care with 5 sequential steps. These are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation,
and evaluation. The assessment is the first step and involves critical thinking skills and data collection;
subjective and objective. Subjective data involves verbal statements from the patient or caregiver. Objective
data is measurable, tangible data such as vital signs, intake and output, and height and weight. Critical
thinking skills are essential to assessment. Patient assessment is reserved for those professionals who
have a legal scope of practice. The Certified Dietary Manager does not have a scope of practice in
California Law.
CMS (Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services) RAI (Resident Assessment Instrument) Version 3.0

A review of Resident 29's Weights and Vitals Summary, indicated Resident 29 weighed 141.9 pounds (lbs.)
on 11/9/23. On 5/13/24 (six months later), Resident 29's weight was recorded as 119.4 lbs., indicating a
15.86 % (percent) weight loss, which is considered severe. Resident 29's weight on 6/3/24 was 115.1 lbs.
an additional loss of 4.3 pounds in three weeks. Residents 29's cumulative weight loss in 7 months was
26.8 lbs. or 18.8%
During an observation on 6/11/24 at 9:53 a.m., Resident 29, who was in bed, had no straw in her water
pitcher and no cup next to her water pitcher, preventing her from being able to drink her water.
During an observation on 6/12/24 at 12:40 p.m., there were two staff members (Unlicensed Staff C and a
nurse) for nine residents in the Total Assisted Dining (TAD) Room. Resident 29 was trying to communicate
in Spanish but was being ignored. Unlicensed Staff C and the nurse in the TAD Room did not speak
Spanish, so Unlicensed Staff C and the nurse could not understand Resident 29 in order to meet her dining
needs. Unlicensed Staff C nor the nurse got someone who could communicate in Spanish with Resident
29. Resident 29 was legally blind. There was no staff member sitting next to Resident 29 to guide her on
where her food was on her plate. Unlicensed Staff C and the nurse were both sitting at the other end of the
table feeding a resident. Unlicensed Staff C did place a plate guard (helps prevent food from accidentally
being pushed off the plate while eating, minimizing spills at mealtime) on Resident 29's plate and handed
her a fork. Resident 29 started eating her pasta with her fingers. Resident 29 did not receive staff
assistance to guide her with using her fork or where food items were on her plate.
During an observation on 6/14/24 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 29 was in bed with her head covered with a
blanket. There was a light yogurt with a spoon in it, container indicated worth 100 calories, zero consumed,
and a chocolate shake with a straw, container indicated worth 200 calories, 75% consumed. There was no
straw in Resident 29's water pitcher, which felt almost empty and no cup to pour water into. Resident 29
was legally blind and her overbed table was at the side of her bed out of reach. Through multiple
observations while Resident 29 was in bed from 6/11/24-6/13/24, never observed a nurse or CNA go into
Resident 29's room and offer her fluids.
A review of Resident 29's Nutritional Data Collection and Assessment, dated 5/8/24 (6 months after the
resident began to lose weight) was completed by the RD. Resident 29's estimated needs were listed as
1917 calories, 68 grams of protein and 1373-1585 cc's of fluid (cubic centimeters-a metric unit of measure).
The assessment indicated Resident 29 was on a nutritional supplement three times/day, with meals which
was initiated on 2/20/24, and was receiving Mirtazapine (an antidepressant which may increase appetite),
which was initiated on 2/2/24. The assessment: acknowledged an unplanned weight change, however did
not recognize it as a severe weight change and included the need for adaptive equipment (a divided plate
and plate guard). The assessment indicated Resident 29 had inadequate intakes. The RD also commented
Resident 29 liked coffee. There were no additional recommendations or assessment of the effectiveness of
current interventions. There was no plan to develop nutritional implementations that emphasized Resident
29's preference for coffee, such as coffee flavored high calorie beverages. The note also indicated Resident
29 thinks the food is poisoned, refuses everything, however there was no indication the facility attempted to
assess the rationale of these comments. The RD indicated a referral to the physician regarding Resident
29's statements, however the facility was unable to validate the referral. There was no additional follow up
from the Registered Dietitian

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to monitor one of two sampled residents
(Resident 6), who was on continuous oxygen (O2) therapy (supplement O2) at 2 liters (L), portable O2 tank
to make sure Resident 6's O2 tank was changed before it ran out of oxygen. This failure resulted in
Resident 6's O2 tank running out of oxygen while Resident 6 was in her wheelchair propelling herself in the
hallway, which could have led to Resident 6 becoming short of breath, which could have led to respiratory
distress, a decline in Resident 6's health and possible hospitalization.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
A review of Resident 6's admission Record, indicated Resident 6 was admitted on [DATE], with a diagnosis
including a stroke, high blood pressure, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (common lung
disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems), shortness of breath, amongst others.
A review of Resident 6's Quarterly MDS (minimum data set, a clinical assessment process provides a
comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health
problems), dated 3/13/24, indicated Resident 6 had a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 15,
indicating intact cognition. Section O: Special Treatments and Programs, indicated Resident 6 was on
Oxygen Therapy.
A review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report, dated 6/19/24, indicated Resident 6 had an order for O2
two liters per minute continuous via nasal cannula (a device that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and
into the nose) every shift for O2 therapy and history of Shortness of Breath, start date 4/7/2023.
During an observation on 6/10/24 at 10:11 a.m., Resident 6 was on portable oxygen at two liters per
minute.
During an observation on 6/11/24 at 10:10 a.m., Resident 6 was up in her wheelchair propelling herself in
the hallway. When the O2 tank gauge was checked, it read oxygen tank was empty.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/24 at 10:32 a.m., Resident 6 was up in her
wheelchair propelling herself in the hallway. Resident 6 was asked to stop because her O2 tank gauge was
reading empty. Resident 6 stated she could not feel any O2 coming from her nasal cannula. Resident 6
started propelling herself to find her nurse. Licensed Staff B saw Resident 6's portable O2 tank read empty
after it was pointed out to her. Licensed Staff B stated any CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) could tell her if
the resident's portable O2 tank needed to be refilled, but ultimately it was her responsibility to make sure a
resident's portable O2 tank did not go empty.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 12:33 p.m., the Administrator was asked who was supposed in
monitoring a resident's portable O2 tank so the tank did not run empty. The Administrator stated it was the
resident's nurse who was responsible in making sure the resident's portable O2 tank did not run empty. The
Administrator stated it was out of the CNAs' scope of practice though if a CNA noticed the resident's
portable O2 tank was getting low or empty, the CNA could let the nurse know.
During an interview on 6/14/24 at 1:15 p.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD), stated the

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure they had enough staff to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Promptly respond to call lights of 4 of 24 sampled residents (Resident 35, Resident 3, Resident 25, and
Resident 50), and one unsampled resident (Resdient 40) causing residents to wait long periods of time.
2. To meet the ADLs (Activities of Daily Living: are activities related to personal care. They include bathing
or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and assisted with
eating or needing to be fed) needs of the residents, including Resident .
3. To provide prompt incontinence care (cleaning the private areas of residents with loss of bowel and
bladder function) to one of 24 sampled resident (Resident 14) and discharged Resident 232.
This failure resulted in:
1. Resident 35 lying in his soiled linen to get cleaned, Resident 3 burning her skin and feeling bothered,
Resident 25 feeling bad and awful, Resident 50 screaming for help and getting mad, and Resident 40
feeling like the staff just did not like taking care of the residents and were just working for a paycheck.
2. This resulted in residents having to wait to be fed and their lunch becoming cold, a resident having to wait
to be transferred back to bed, residents not getting their brief checked and changed every two hours, a
blind resident having to eat with her fingers, staff having to feed more than one resident at a time, which
could have caused cross contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one
person, object or place to another), and the potential for unsafe transfers, which could lead to harm.
3. Injury to the skin of Resident 232, and feelings of shame and frustration for Resident 14.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 6/10/24, at 10:57 AM, Resident 35 stated he had to wait two hours for assistance
because staff had called off (did not come to work). Resident 35 stated four of seven days a week he had to
wait to be cleaned.
A review of Resident 35's annual MDS (Minimum Data Set, a clinical assessment process provides a
comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health
problems), dated 5/20/24, indicated he was cognitively intact with a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status)
score of 15, had not rejected assistance with activities of daily living, was dependent for maintaining
perineal hygiene, required maximal assistance to roll from lying on back to left and right side, occasionally
unable to control urination and frequently had no control with bowel movement.
During an interview on 6/10/24, at 11:58 AM, Resident 3 stated it took as long as four to six hours for staff
to respond to calls for assistance. Resident 3 stated she had experienced lying in her urine and feces while
waiting. When asked how she felt, Resident 3 stated it burned her skin and

intact with a BIMS score of 15.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 6:02 p.m., Resident 40 stated he did need assistance transferring from
his wheelchair to the toilet. Resident 40 stated a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) would come into his
room, turn off his call light, and then he would wait ten minutes to one hour. Resident 40 stated he would
use the call light because he needed to be transferred to use the bathroom either to urinate or have a bowel
movement. Resident 40 stated her wore a brief too. Resident 40 stated the staff should be at the facility to

Resident 227 had just arrived at the TAD Room and room was made for her to sit at the table next to
Resident 2. Unlicensed Staff E, who was wearing gloves while feeding the resident on his left and the
resident on his right, stopped feeding the two residents and went to help Resident 227 cut her meat while
wearing the same gloves. Unlicensed Staff E went back to feeding Resident 4 and Resident 2 without
changing his gloves.
During an observation on 6/10/24 12:18 p.m. in the Assisted Dining Room, eight residents were either
being totally assisted or set-up and assisted as needed. Unlicensed Staff C was feeding Resident 52, who
was a total assist. Resident 55 was sitting at the table next to Resident 52 waiting to be fed while the seven
other residents were either being fed or had been set-up and were feeding themselves.
During an observation 6/10/24 at 12:40 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C was done feeding Resident 52 and was
just starting to feed Resident 55, 22 minutes later. Unlicensed Staff C had to heat up Resident 55's food in
the microwave because Resident 55's hot food had gotten cold while waiting 22 minutes to be fed.

sitting up in his wheelchair next to his bed. Resident 12 stated he had been up and dressed since
breakfast. Resident 12 stated he had gone to the Main Dining Room for breakfast, which he stated he liked.
Resident 12 stated he thought it was around 8 a.m. when he had his breakfast in the Main Dining Room.
Resident 12 stated he had been waiting an hour for assistance back to bed. Resident 12 stated he had not
been changed since he got up, which he thought was around 8 a.m. (3 1/2 hours ago). Resident 12 had a
Hoyer lift (a device designed to assist caregivers in safely transferring patients) pad under him, which
looked uncomfortable.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 1:05 p.m., Unlicensed Staff M stated Resident 12 had been up since 6:30
a.m. Unlicensed Staff M stated Resident 12 had been assisted up early so he could go down to the Main
Dining Room for a special Country breakfast. Resident 12 had been up for five hours and his brief had not
been changed for at least five hours. Unlicensed Staff M stated she did ask Resident 12 if he wanted to go
back to bed after breakfast but he had not wanted to go back to bed yet. Note: Resident 12's breakfast time
was 7 a.m., which was the time the residents in the Main Dining Room were fed.
During an observation on 6/12/24 at 12:40 p.m., there were two staff members (Unlicensed Staff C and a
nurse) for nine residents in the TAD Room. Resident 29 was trying to communicate in Spanish but was
being ignored. The staff in the TAD Room did not speak Spanish, so staff could not understand Resident 29
in order to meet her dining needs. Unlicensed Staff C nor the nurse got someone to communicated with
Resident 29 in Spanish. Resident 29 was legally blind and no staff member was sitting next to Resident 29
to guide her on where her food was on her plate. Unlicensed Staff C and the nurse were both sitting at the
other end of the table feeding a resident. Unlicensed Staff C did place a plate guard (helps prevent food
from accidentally being pushed off the plate while eating, minimizing spills at mealtime) on Resident 29's
plate and handed her a fork. Resident 29 started eating her pasta with her fingers and still no one came
over to sit next to Resident 29 to guide her with using her fork and with the placement of food items on her
plate. Resident 29 was not offered a washcloth after she ate her pasta with her fingers.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 1:10 p.m., Unlicensed Staff D stated he has had up to 15-18 residents on
the PM shift. Unlicensed Staff D stated at times he could not answer his resident's call lights in a timely
manner because he may be assisting another resident. Unlicensed Staff D stated residents have
complained to him about having to wait. Unlicensed Staff D could not give a time for how long he kept a
resident waiting. It would vary. Unlicensed Staff D stated if he was helping a resident and went to get linen,
briefs, etc. for the resident and he saw a call light on, he would not answer the call light because that would
be like abandoning the other resident he was tending to.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 2:30 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C stated she did assist in the TAD Room on
Monday, 6/10/24, but was pulled to the [NAME] Hall and assigned Rooms 140-147 (13 residents) because
the facility was short staffed a CNA.

there would only be one nurse working on the Night shift, but then another nurse would come in around 3
a.m. or 4 a.m. to help pass the Night shift medications. The Night shift would have four CNAs.
During an interview on 6/19/24 at 12:05 p.m., Anonymous Witness J stated, the Night shift nurse was
usually the only nurse on the Night shift. Anonymous Witness J stated at times one CNA (Certified Nursing
Assistant) would transfer a resident using the Hoyer lift (a patient lift used by caregivers to safely transfer
patients) because of being short staffed (No one else to help). Anonymous Witness J stated there was
never a huddle with the traveling nurses at the beginning of the shift to find out about their residents, such
as who was on fall precautions and residents who had a Change in Condition. Anonymous Witness J stated
there was a lot of dehydration issues with the residents because of being short staffed. Anonymous Witness
J stated he/she had 14 residents, two showers and one feeder. Anonymous Witness J stated he/she tried to
make three rounds during his/her shift to change the residents' brief but it was not always possible because
of the assignment.
During an interview on 6/21/24 at 11:08 a.m., the DON (Director of Nursing) stated she was working on the

During an interview on 6/13/24 at 9:30 a.m., Family Member N stated Resident 232 was left with a soiled
disposable brief for more than 48 hours after he returned to the facility from the GACH, which severely
burned his skin, and caused him excruciating pain on the last days of his life. According to Family Member
N, Resident 232 died within a week or returning from the GACH. Family Member N stated he discovered he
was left with the same disposable brief because in the GACH they used a different type of disposable briefs
as in the facility, and two days after Resident 232 had returned to the facility from the GACH, he was still
wearing the same diaper he came back to the facility with.
Record review of Resident 232's ADL flow sheets for January of 2024, indicated he received incontinence

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the temperatures of 2 of 2
medication refrigerators (Refrigerator A and Refrigerator B) in the medication room of the facility, were
within normal range to store resident insulins (Injectable medication to lower blood sugar levels) and
COVID-19 vaccinations, among other medications. In addition, two expired medications were found stored
with active medications in the medication room and one of the medication carts of the facility. This finding
had the potential to result in medications and immunizations that were no longer effective, causing harm to
the residents involved.
Findings:
During a concurrent medication storage observation and interview with Licensed Staff A on 6/20/24 at
11:45 a.m., the temperature of Refrigerator A (inside the medication room of the facility) was 52 degrees
Fahrenheit. This refrigerator stored 8 pens of Lantus insulin (Long-acting medication to lower blood sugar
levels) labeled with residents' names and a Prevnar vaccine (A pneumococcal vaccine that protects against
serious illnesses caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria). Licensed Staff A confirmed the Lantus
pens were for resident medication administration. Refrigerator B's temperature (inside the medication room)
was 50 degrees Fahrenheit and stored 2 vials of COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine (Vaccine to protect against the
COVID-19 disease) and an emergency kit. Licensed Staff A confirmed these medications were for resident
use. In addition, an expired bottle of fish oil capsules was found in the medication room stored with other
active medications. The expiration date was, 05/24. Licensed Staff A confirmed the finding.
Record review of an untitled form posted on the wall of the medication room indicated, REFRIGERATOR
TEMPERATURE NEEDS TO MAINTAIN 36-46 F (36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit).
Record review of a temperature log posted on the wall of the medication room titled, TEMPERATURE OF
MEDICATION REFRIGERATORS, indicated that on 6/09/24 during the day shift, the temperature of
refrigerator B was 47 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature was also recorded as 47 degrees Fahrenheit on
6/10/24 during night shift.
During a concurrent interview and observation with the Maintenance Director on 6/20/24 at 12:01 p.m., the
temperatures of both refrigerators were checked again, and both refrigerator temperatures were 50
degrees Fahrenheit, which was confirmed by the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director was
asked, if, within the last 30 days, he had been notified the temperature in these refrigerators was above
normal ranges. The Maintenance Director stated he had not been notified, but he would adjust the
temperature dials right away.
During an observation and interview on 6/20/24 at 12:20 p.m., the medication cart in the east hallway was
checked with Licensed Staff L. A bottle of medication Glucosamine Chondroitin (A supplement that helps
maintain cartilage health) was found in the medication cart stored with other active medications. This bottle
had an expiration date of, 05/24. This was confirmed by Licensed Staff L.

Provide or obtain dental services for each resident.
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 dental services for one of 23 sampled residents
(Resident 33) who needed to see an oral [NAME] for a revisit. This failure had the potential for Resident 33
to experience intermittent oral pain, problems with eating, speaking and infections of the mouth if Resident
33's oral surgeon appointment was missed and decrease Resident 33's optimal physical, social, mental
and psychosocial well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
Finding:
A review of Resident 33's admission Record indicated Resident 33 was admitted on [DATE], with a
diagnosis including stroke, hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of the body) affecting the left
side, dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), delusional disorder (a mental disorder), bipolar disorder (a mental
disorder), amongst others.
A review of Resident 33's Quarterly MDS (minimum data set, a clinical assessment process provides a
comprehensive assessment of the resident's functional capabilities and helps staff identify health
problems), dated 3/12/24, indicated Resident 33 was severely cognitive impaired (never/rarely made
decisions) and L Section: Oral/Dental Status: indicated: mouth and facial pain, discomfort, or difficulty with
chewing.
A review of Resident 33's care plan, indicated Resident 33 had a Oral/Dental Health Problems care plan,
initiated 0n 1/17/22 caused by poor oral hygiene.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/11/24 at 10:33 a.m., Social Services was asked
about a Dental Progress Note, dated 3/14/24, indicated Resident 33 needed to see the oral surgeon and
assistance with oral care. Social services stated she recalled seeing the Dental Progress Note but Social
Services stated she needed an authorization from Resident 33's medical insurance. Social Services stated
Resident 33 would have to go to the oral surgeon in (name of town about 150 miles away) because the
surgeon in town did not take Resident 33's medical insurance. Social Services stated she would have to
look through her notes, and at this time, no appointment had been made. Social Services stated she really
tried to be proactive with all the residents but resources were difficult to locate in the area. Social Services
stated only certain counties took Resident 33's medical insurance without authorization. Social Services
stated Resident 33 saw an oral surgeon on 3/15/24. Social Services stated no documentation came back
with Resident 33 and there had been no follow-up from Social Services with the oral surgeon.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/12/24 at 11:39 a.m., Social Services stated she did
find her note indicating Resident 33 needed a three-month follow-up appointment with the oral surgeon.
Social Services showed Resident 33's Alert Charting note, dated 3/15/24, indicated Resident 33 returned
from the physician's office and was to return in three months. Social Services stated she called today and
made a follow-up appointment for Resident 33 with the oral surgeon. Resident 33's oral surgeon follow-up
appointment was not made until after Resident 33's Dental Progress Note, dated 3/14/24 was brought to
Social Services attention indicating Resident 33 needed to see oral surgeon, three months after her first
visit with the oral surgeon.

Provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional
and special dietary needs.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 18 of 81 residents at the
facility (Resident 41, Resident 7, Resident 28, Resident 13, Resident 45, Resident 2, Resident 29, Resident
38, Resident 23, Resident 229, Resident 128, Resident 39, Resident 227, Resident 231, Resident 6,
Resident 34, Resident 16 & Resident 62) were served their prescribed diets without errors, by dietary staff
when errors were noted prior to the trays being delivered to the residents. In addition, Licensed Nurses
were observed checking only the trays of residents eating in the social dining room, but no Licensed
Nurses were observed checking the trays of the residents eating in their rooms. These failures had the
potential to result in nutritional problems and episodes of chocking for the residents involved, which could
have resulted in death.
Findings:
During a tray line observation on 6/12/24 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:20 p.m., the Surveyor reviewed every tray
ticket and compared it to the actual meal served in each tray for all residents of the facility, after dietary staff
had checked them, and were ready to distribute them outside the kitchen. Residents on fortified diets (A

Record review of the facility spreadsheet for Wednesday 6/12/24 indicated the mechanical soft diets were
to receive fresh melon for lunch that was, 1/2? (half an inch in size)-Soft-no skin.
During an observation on 6/12/24 at 1:22 p.m., the last meal cart left the kitchen with a taste tray inside of
it. This cart was taken to the south hallway of the facility, closest to the Administrator's office, followed by the
Surveyor. In this hallway, no Licensed Nurses were observed checking the trays prior to the delivery of the
meals to the residents. Certified Nursing Assistants were observed delivering the meals without checking
that the trays matched the tray tickets. If the Surveyor had not noted the errors above, while the trays were
still in the kitchen, most the likely the trays would have been delivered to the residents with errors.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/21/24 at 10:17 a.m., she stated that if residents
were not provided with the right diet consistency, they could choke with their food.

Residents Affected - Some
Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the
food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure four of four kitchen staff (Dietary Aid R,
Dietary Aid S, Dietary Aid T, and Dietary Aid U) were knowledgeable of the cooling process for leftover
food, thawing process for frozen food, and 3-step process to manually wash, rinse, and sanitize dishware
correctly. These findings had the potential to result in foodborne illnesses and spread of infections to all
residents of the facility except for Resident 64, who did not eat by mouth.
Findings:
During an interview on 6/11/24 at 8:50 a.m., with the Dietary Manager present, Dietary Aid R was asked
about the 3-step process to manually wash, rinse and sanitize dishware. According to Dietary Aid R, dirty
dishes should initially be placed on a tray with soap and sanitizing solution. From there, the dishes should
be placed on a second tray with water only, and no sanitizing chemicals. According to Dietary Aid R, the
third tray should contain water only, no chemicals, to rinse the dishes. Dietary Aid R stated he started
working for the facility in 2022, and on one occasion, they were out of electricity and had to use the 3-step
process to wash, rinse and sanitize the dishes. Dietary Aid R stated he received training on this process
one time, using an online platform.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 10:30 a.m., Dietary Aid S who was observed cooking the food for lunch
on 6/11/24, was asked about the cooling process for leftover food. Dietary Aid R stated she had started
working in the kitchen a little bit over a month ago and was not familiar with that policy.
During an interview on 6/13/23 at 11:45 a.m., Dietary Aid T was asked about the cooling process for storing
leftover food, and the thawing process for frozen food. Dietary Aid T was unable to describe either of the
two processes.
During an interview on 6/14/24 at 2:15 p.m., Dietary Aid U was asked about the cooling and thawing
processes. Dietary Aid U had been previously observed cooking lunch on 6/10/24 for the residents. The
Dietary Manager was present during this interview. Dietary Aid T was unable to describe either of the two
processes.
During an interview on 6/20/24 at 4:23 p.m., the Dietary Manager stated the RD had just trained dietary
staff the week of 6/17/24 on the 3-step system to wash, rinse and sanitize dishware manually, the thawing
process, and the cooling process. The Dietary Manager stated he had gone over these trainings before with
staff but had no documentation of it.
Record review of the facility policy titled, 3-COMPARTMENT PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL
DISHWASHING, dated 2023 indicated, The first compartment is for washing. Fill the first compartment with
detergent per manufacturer's instructions and hot water .The second compartment is for rinsing .The third
compartment is for sanitizing .ad (blank) oz (ounces) of (blank) sanitizer. Mix.
The policy referencing the thawing process for meats and food was requested but not provided.
Record review of a facility document titled, [Name of Facility] Dietary, indicated, Dietary Staff at [Name of
Facility] does not use a Cool Down Log because we don't save any leftovers from meals.

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on food production observation, dietary staff interview and departmental document review the facility
failed to ensure staff competency during food production activities when standardized recipes were not
used. Failure to utilize and follow standardized recipes may result in compromised quality and altered
nutritional content of prepared meals, potentially resulting in decreased meal satisfaction, and inability of
the facility to meet the nutritional needs of residents.
Findings:
The purpose of a standardized recipe is to ensure consistent quality, taste, texture, appearance, nutrient
content, yield, and cost of a dish. Standardized recipes are important in the food and beverage industry,
where precision and consistency are essential.
a. During initial tour on 9/17/24 beginning at 9 a.m., Dietary Staff (DS) 1 was observed preparing the
dessert for the noon meal, a peanut butter cake square. DS 1 was observed cutting a sheet pan into 77
servings, by cutting 7 servings across and 11 servings down. Each serving measured approximately 1-1/2
x 1-1/2 and ½ high. DS 1 indicated he did not prepare the dessert, rather it was prepared the day
before. In an interview on 9/17/24 at 3:10p.m., DS 3 confirmed he prepared one large sheet pan of dessert.
Review of the standardized recipe titled peanut butter cake dated 2024 guided staff to prepare the dessert
using one-12(inch) x20x2 pan, cutting 6 servings across and 8 servings down as well as preparing a
second batch using a 12x10x2 pan, cutting 4 servings across and 6 servings down. The combination of the
two pans were intended to yield 72 servings. Review of the menu dated 9/17/24 indicated the dessert
should have measured 2x2x1/2.
b. During food production observation on 9/27/24 beginning at 12:15 p.m., [NAME] 2 was preparing cheese
quesadillas to be used as substitutes during the noon meal. [NAME] 2 placed one blue handled scoop of
shredded cheese on a tortilla, allowing it to melt and folding it in half. In a concurrent interview [NAME] 2
confirmed these were as substitutes for the main entrée as well as substitutes for residents with
additional preferences. Concurrent review of the scoop indicated it was a 2-ounce scoop (1/4 cup).
Review of the standardized recipe indicated for 8 servings staff should have used 4 cups of shredded
cheese, equating to ½ cup of cheese per quesadilla.

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to offer attractive and palatable meals
to 80 of 81 residents (All residents of the facility except for Resident 68 who used formula feedings [liquid
formula delivered directly into a person's stomach through medical equipment). The food was noted to be
lacking flavor, and the vegetables were previously frozen and then overcooked, leading to loss of nutritive
value. This failure had the potential to result in weight loss issues, malnutrition and low quality of life to the
residents of the facility as food and drinks were attractive, palatable and served at appetixing temperature.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During an interview on 6/10/24 at 9:58 a.m., Resident 11 stated that the food had no flavor and was often
served cold.
During an interview on 6/10/24 at 10:41 a.m., Resident 14 stated that the food had no flavor, was served
cold, and the meals were odd in the sense that entrees that were not supposed to be served together, were
served together.
During an interview on 6/10/24 at 10:57 a.m., Resident 229 stated she had concerns about the food.
Resident 229 stated the food was usually cold, and the breakfast eggs were hard.
During an interview on 6/10/24 at 11:02 a.m., Resident 44 stated that he always received decaffeinated
coffee when he liked regular coffee. He also stated the food was often cold and not flavorful.
During a taste tray observation and interview with the Dietary Manager on 6/12/24 at 1:30 p.m. in the
conference room, with two Surveyors present, the regular and pureed food was tasted. The temperatures of
the regular meal entrees were the following (Temperatures taken by the Dietary Manager):
Pasta: 117 degrees Fahrenheit
Vegetables: 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bread: Temperature not taken; the temperature appeared to be room temperature.
Pureed Meal:
Pasta: 94 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vegetables: 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pureed bread: 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fluids:
Cranberry juice: 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Orange juice: 46 degrees Fahrenheit.

prepared, and served in a sanitary manner when the kitchen was found not clean, unorganized, containing
expired, spoiled and moldy food items, and lacking documentation for the food thermometer calibtation log.
These failures had the potential to result in foodborne illness and spread infections to 80 of the 81 residents
living at the facility, with the exception of Resident 68, who received formula feedings (liquid nutrition
delivered to the resident directly to the stomach using specialized medical equipment).
Findings:
During an initial observation and concurrent interview with Dietary Aid U, starting on 6/10/24 8:45 a.m.,
there were multiple findings in the kitchen of the facility as follows (Photographs were taken):

2. 6/10/24 at 8:48 a.m.: In the walk-in refrigerator a bag of chopped celery that was undated/unlabeled was
found. Unknown when it was prepared, or when the used by date was. This was confirmed by Dietary Aid
U. Some celery pieces were starting to turn brown, which indicated they were starting to go bad.
3. 6/10/24 at 8:49 a.m.: A zip lock bag with chopped tomato had the date 6/07/24 written on it but did not
indicate if this was the prepared date or used by date. The tomatoes were soft, mushy, soggy, and
appeared to be spoiled. Dietary Aid U confirmed the finding and stated everything should be labeled with
the opened or prepared date and used by date.
4. 6/10/24 at 8:50 a.m.: A plastic bag with cooked chicken was found in the walk-in refrigerator. This chicken
had a label that indicated, WED (Wednesday) .6-5. It did not indicate if 6/05 was the prepared date or used

9. 6/10/24 at 8:55 a.m.: The freezer of the facility was completely crammed with boxes upon boxes of food
items. There was no room for air circulation. Everything was extremely disorganized.
10. 6/10/24 at 8:56 a.m. In the dry storage of the facility an onion was found with areas covered in black
mold, deformed and mushy. This onion was stored with other onions in good condition. This was confirmed
by Dietary Aid U.
11. 6/10/24 at 8:59 a.m.: The metal container where dietary aids kept kitchen utensils that were clean and
ready to use, had food particles and trash inside.
12. 6/10/24 at 9:00 a.m.: The food preparation table next to the dishwashing machine in the back of the
kitchen had walls that were covered with stains, as if nobody was cleaning this area. In addition, the knife
storage rack where clean knifes were stored was dirty and dusty.
13. 6/10/24 at 9:01-9:02 a.m.: The large plastic containers that stored cereal and flour, had lids and exterior
surfaces that were covered with stains, and grime. The Dietary Manager, who arrived at that moment,
stated the facility was planning to get new containers.
14. 6/10/24 at 9:03 a.m.: The exterior of the ice machine was extremely dirty. There were whitish stains that
stood out from the black surface of the plastic. A wet white napkin was used to test to see if the surface was
dirty. The napkin became brown/black when physically exposed to the surface of this appliance. The Dietary
Manager confirmed it was soiled. He stated the Maintenance Director was the one responsible for keeping
this appliance clean.
15. 6/10/24 at 9:06 a.m.: In the kitchen, right next to the door that opened towards the hallway of the facility,
was a mosquito trap with several dead mosquitoes stuck to it.

thermometer calibration log was incomplete for the month of May, 2024. The Dietary Manager stated there
was no food thermometer calibration log for June of 2024. The Dietary Manager stated they were supposed
to calibrate the thermometers daily in the morning and clean them twice a day, but stated there was no
documentation of it. The Dietary Manager was asked to show the Surveyor where they kept emergency
food. The room in which emergency food was stored, was so crammed with boxes that it made it impossible
to evaluate the food. There were boxes upon boxes of items, along with old kitchen supplies, that did not
allow access to the emergency food. This room was not organized until Friday, 6/14/24, despite having
notified the Dietary Manager of the Surveyor's intention to review the emergency food as soon as possible.
Record review of the facility policy titled, KITCHEN SANITATION, last revised on 3/2022, indicated, The

facility's actions, inactions and decisions, contributed to a facility in which residents were seriously harmed
(F689 & F692), residents were not treated with dignity and respect (F550 and F584), residents did not
receive the care and services they needed (F677, F687, F791 & F725), meals were not palatable, stored or
prepared in a sanitary manner (F800, F804 & F812), medications were not stored properly (F761) and

During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 06/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., the QAPI (Quality
Assurance and Performance Improvement) program was presented and discussed. The DON stated there
had been 28 resident falls in January 2024, 34 falls in February 2024, 35 falls in March 2024, 12 falls in
April 2024 and 25 falls in May 2024 for a total of 134 falls for the first five months of the year. Three of these
falls had resulted in major injuries. The DON stated that although the number of falls were being tracked,
interventions for fall prevention measures were not being tracked. The DON stated Department Heads had
not had a meeting to discuss falls specifically and decide what they were going to do to reduce the
incidences of falls. The fall QAPI project presented to the Surveyors through the DON's computer had
several areas that were blank or empty. The DON stated that although she was the person coordinating the
QAPI plan, the Administrator was present during the meetings, therefore, she was aware of the recurrent
falls.
During this interview with the DON on 6/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., she was asked if they had a QAPI project
regarding weight loss issues for the residents. The DON stated the Assistant Director of Nursing was
responsible for tracking information regarding this issue but had not provided her with any information to
enter into the QAPI plan. The DON presented the plan on her computer which was blank, as no data had
been entered. The DON stated the Administrator was aware of the weight loss issues among the resident
population of the facility. The DON stated no decisions had been made as to what they were going to
measure regarding weight loss issues, in the QAPI plan. The DON was also asked if they were tracking
staffing issues in the QAPI plan. The DON stated staffing was not being tracked. The DON stated that
although she was the person coordinating the QAPI program, she was not being assisted by the
Department Heads who were supposed to provide her with their reports.
During a phone interview with Anonymous Witness O on 6/13/21 at 4:15 p.m., she stated staff at the facility
were constantly being threatened by the Administration to not provide any information to family members or
staff from the Department of Public Health about the care or lack of care the residents were provided, and
in fact, staff had been terminated from the facility for speaking up about the unfair treatment residents were
receiving. Anonymous Witness O stated incidents of abuse involving residents were not being reported to
the required authorities, and staffing was so bad there were times when Certified Nursing Assistants were
assigned up to 20 residents per shift. Anonymous Witness O also stated staff would get in trouble for
entering the Administrator's office if not called by her, and if they discussed resident care concerns with the
Administrator, she would look at them, deflect the situation, and made the staff member bringing up the
concern, responsible for the issue

During an interview with Anonymous Witness J on 6/14/24 at 4:15 p.m., he/she stated certified nursing
assistants were assigned 16 to 20 residents per shift, which did not provide them enough time to provide all
needed services and supervise residents at risk for falls. Anonymous Witness J also stated that even if the
facility had enough certified nursing assistants to work as a one to one (One staff working with only one
resident) with a resident at risk for falls, the Administrator would send them home, and only once, in his/her
employment at the facility, had he/she observed a one to one, and it was because the resident was
extremely aggressive. Anonymous Witness J also stated staff were threatened by Administration against
speaking to the Surveyors during this survey, and were told the Surveyors would, twist their words and take
their CNA certificates away. They were also forbidden from entering the conference room where Surveyors
were working without an Administrator present.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility job description titled, Administrator, undated, indicated: Principal Responsibilities: . *Ensures
Center compliance with all Federal, State and company regulations and policies. * Ensures that all
practices and policies are carried out in the highest ethical manner. *Ensures that all Standard of Care and
service provided is of the highest quality . Qualifications: .*Possess effective communication skills to
maintain positive relationship with residents, families, staff, physicians, consultants, providers, and
governmental agencies, their representatives, and the community at large. *Ability to implement facility and
company philosophy of care. *Current knowledge of local, state and federal guidelines and regulations .
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility's Administrator failed to ensure effective
oversight and necessary resources to ensure the residents' quality of care, safety, dignity, and dietary
services, which include maintenance of the resident's nutrition and hydration were met to attain or maintain
the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for all 81 residents when:
1. The Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Committee, whose members included the
Administrator did not make sure an action plan was implemented to reduce the number of falls in the facility
and promote a resident safety plan by monitoring trends and implementing changes through careful
analysis of the falls, which led to 134 falls from January 2024 through May 2024. Three of these falls had
resulted in major injuries, Resident 15, Resident 28, and Resident 233 (Cross-Reference to F689 Substandard Care).
2. The Administrator did not ensure the RD (Registered Dietician) was making frequent scheduled visits to
oversee the day-to-day operations of the kitchen, which led to multiple issues in the kitchen including errors
in plating prescribed diets and lack of dietary staff competencies in the cool down process, thawing process
and three sink washing process. Failure to ensure adequate oversight may result in compromising the
nutritional status of all residents and cross contamination of resident food and foodborne illness
(Cross-Reference F800, F801, F804, & F812).
3. The Administrator did not ensure the RD made routine visits to residents with significant weight loss or
gain in order to observe/interview residents to find out why they were having severe nutritional changes,
and make sure new admission's nutritional assessments were done in person to minimize nutritional
complications. This resulted in multiple residents, including Resident 12, Resident 20. Resident 25,
Resident 29, and Resident 227, having various nutritional complications leading to further compromising
the resident's medical state (Cross-Reference 692 - Substandard Care).

4. The Administrator did not ensure there were staff in sufficient numbers to meet the individual care needs
of residents resulting in residents having to wait long periods for call lights to be answered and lack of ADLs
(Activities of Daily Living: are activities related to personal care. They include bathing or showering,
dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and assisted with eating or needing
to be fed), which led to a resident being left in a soiled brief for a long period causing breakdown in the
resident's skin, lack of dignity for multiple residents, and had the potential for residents to become
dehydrated and weight loss to occur because of not being offered water and assistance during meals or
with snacks, feeling unkept and unclean, loss of self-worth and feeling of low self-esteem, which could
further impacting residents' physical and psychosocial wellbeing. Residents impacted included Resident 2,
Resident 3, Resident 4, Resident 6, Resident 12, Resident 14, Resident 20, Resident 21, Resident 25,
Resident 29, Resident 35, Resident 40, Resident 46, Resident 50, Resident 55, Resident 58, Resident 65,
Resident 67, Resident 68, and Resident 232, but not limited to (Cross-Reference F550, F677, and F725).
5. The Administrator did not ensure charting for fluid and meal intake was being documented consistently,
which had the potential for residents to become dehydrated and nutritional concerns causing one's health
to be compromised, which could lead to residents being hospitalized and even death, which included
Resident 25, Resident 29, and Resident 227 (Cross Reference F692 and F842).

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical documentation was complete
and accurate for 2 of 2 sampled residents (Resident 25 and Resident 29) when:
1. Resident 25, who had a significant weight loss of more than 20% in 6 months, did not have complete
documentation of her meal consumption for the month of May, 2024.
2. Resident 29, who had severe weight loss of 15.86% in six months, meal intake was not being monitored
closely from 3/19/24 -6/19/24.
These findings had the potential to result in insufficient information for the interdisciplinary team to track the
care being provided to the residents, and the ability of the residents to meet their healthcare goals which
could have resulted in low quality of care and harm to the residents involved.
Findings:
1. Record review indicated Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses
including Dementia (Memory loss) and Heart Failure (Inability for the heart to pump enough blood to meet
the body's needs) according to the facility Face Sheet.
During a dining observation on 6/10/24 at 1:03 p.m., Resident 25 had just finished eating, and was
observed leaving the social dining room. Resident 25 had consumed approximately 10% of her lunch meal.
Resident 25 appeared extremely thin and frail, with merely skin covering her bones.
Record review of a facility document titled, Weights and Vitals Summary, indicated Resident 25's weights
were the following:
12/05/23: 110.1 lbs.
1/04/24: 100.6 lbs. (Weight loss of 8.6%)
2/06/24: 100 lbs.
3/04/24: 92 lbs. (Weight loss of 8% in 28 days, 16.43 % weight loss since 12/05/23)
4/08/24: 91.3 lbs.
5/06/24: 88.9 lbs. (Weight loss of 11.6 % in 4 months, since 1/04/24)
6/11/24: 87.5 lbs. (Weight loss of 20.5 % in 6 months, since 12/05/23)
Record review of Resident 25's percentage of meals consumed from 5/01/24 to 6/20/24 indicated that on
several days, the consumption of only one meal was recorded. For example, on 6/10/24, the only meal
recorded was at 9:45 p.m., and indicated Resident 25 consumed 76 % to 100% of her meal. According to
this report, on the following days, only one meal consumption was recorded per day, in the month

Have a plan that describes the process for conducting QAPI and QAA activities.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to establish, implement and maintain a QAPI/QAA
program (Quality Assurance Performance Improvement/Quality Assessment and Assurance-A program that
involves a systematic approach to quality assurance and performance improvement. It is designed to
identify areas of improvement and develop strategies to improve the quality of care provided to the
residents) that identified system-wide problems and reassessed the effectiveness of their interventions to
correct quality deficiencies. The facility failed to maintain documentation of an effective, comprehensive and
data driven QAPI program that involved the govening body and executive leadership when the person
responsible for the QAPI program's development was the Director of Nursing (DON), and no QAPI meeting
minutes and documentation were maintained and provided. This failure resulted in inability to correct
deficiencies that resulted in substandard quality of care related to nutrition issues and falls with injuries
(Reference Federal tags F689 and F692) experienced by several residents of the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During an interview with the DON on 06/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., the QAPI program was presented and
discussed. The DON stated Department Heads within the facility were supposed to bring reports to her of
resident concerns or issues, to enter into the QAPI system but they were not bringing the reports. The DON
stated she bought a screen and a projector for this purpose, but they were inefficient, as there was
insufficient participation by Department Heads. When asked about the number resident falls at the facility,
the DON stated there had been 28 falls in January 2024, 34 falls in February 2024, 35 falls in March 2024,
12 falls in April 2024 and 25 falls in May 2024, for a total of 134 falls for the first five months of the year.
Three of these falls resulted in major injuries. The DON stated that although the number of falls were being
tracked, interventions for fall prevention measures were not being tracked. The DON stated Department
Heads had not had a meeting specifically to discuss falls and decide what they were going to do to reduce
the incidences of falls. The fall QAPI project presented to the Surveyors through the DON's computer had
several areas that were blank or empty.
During this interview with the DON on 6/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., she was asked if they had a QAPI project
regarding weight loss issues for the residents. The DON stated the Assistant Director of Nursing was
responsible for tracking information regarding this issue but had not provided her with any information to
enter into the QAPI plan. She presented the plan on her computer which was blank, as no data had been
entered. The DON stated the Administrator was aware of the weight loss issues among the resident
population of the facility. The DON stated no decisions had been made as to what they were going to
measure regarding weight loss issues, in the QAPI plan. The DON was also asked if they were tracking
staffing issues in the QAPI plan. The DON stated staffing was not being tracked. The DON stated the
Administrator was present in the QAPI meetings, but she (the DON) was the one coordinating the QAPI
program, however, she was not being assisted by the Department Heads who were supposed to provide
her with their reports, and she believed some Department Heads were not tracking any data.
Record review of the facility policy titled, QAPI Policy & Procedure, dated 2022, indicated, Use this
Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) to plan and document your progress with tests of change conducted as part of
chartered performance improvement projects (PIPs). While the charter will have clearly established the
goals, scope, timing, milestones, and team roles and responsibilities for a project, the PIP team asked to
carry out the project will need to determine how to complete the work. This tool should be completed by the
project leader/manager/coordinator with review and input by the project team.

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement an effective facility wide Quality
Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) program that included the required members for the QAPI
meeting, responsible for identifying significant resident safety and care issues, and failed to ensure that
performance improvement activities fully evaluated the depth and scope of the issues, developed a plan to
correct identified issues, implement the plan and monitor the results of the facility plan and make changes if
the plan was not effective.
1. Lack of Infection prevention input and data to monitor Hand Hygiene for staff and residents
(Cross-Reference F8800.
2. Lack of monitoring of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) to ensure residents were receiving two showers a
week, and the documentation appropriate and accurate (Cross-Reference F677).
3. Lack of monitoring falls in 2024, Falls with injuries: the facility had one in 4/2024, one in 5/2024, and one
in 6/2024. Total number of falls: 28 (January), 34 (February), 35 (March), 12 (April), and 25 (May)
(Cross-Reference F689: Substandard Care & F865).
4. Lack of monitoring documentation of meal and fluid intake. Multiple residents with significant weight loss
(Cross-Reference F692 and F842).
5. Lack of monitoring to make sure residents were being treated with dignity and respect (Cross-Reference
F550).
6. Lack of monitoring call light response time leading to residents waiting for long periods (Cross-Reference
F550).
7. Lack of in person RD oversight of the kitchen and residents with nutrition/hydration issues
(Cross-Reference F800, F801, F804, F812, and F692: Substandard Care).
This failure to identify and prioritize care areas resulted in facilities' lack of identification of resident safety
issues, developing a plan to correct identified issues, implementing the plan and monitoring the results. This
failure had the potential for decreased quality of care, potential for harm and even death.
Findings:
A review of the QAPI committee sign in sheets indicated QAPI meetings took place on 2/28/23, 3/23/24,
4/27/23, 5/25/23, 7/20/23, 11/30/23, 12/21/23, 1/24/24, 2/28/24, 3/28/24, 4/18/24, and 5/23/24. The Medical
Director was present on 2/28/23, 4/27/23, 7/20/23, 1/24/24, and 4/18/24. The meetings lasted one-halfhour, except on 11/30/23,12/21/23, 3/28/24, 4/18/24, and 5/23/24, the QAPI meetings lasted 15 min. The
Medical Director was not present at the 11/30/2023 quarterly QAPI meeting.

During an interview on 6/21/24 at 12:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the Fall Committee
never got done. The DON stated the Administrator will not let her do her job duties as a DON. The DON
stated she implemented a disciplinary action plan for all the call offs: 1. Verbal Warning, 2. Written Warning,
3. Suspension and 4. Termination. The DON stated the owner liked the frequent staff Call Off plan and
asked for it to be implement at once. Fall Risk care plan should be updated right after accident. The resident
should have a BM at least every 3 days.
During a phone interview on 6/21/24 at 2:15 p.m., Physician 1 stated he came to the facility monthly and
attended the QAPI meetings. Physician 1 stated falls were reviewed and weight issues were monitored.
Physician 1 stated the (Registered Dietician) RD made the recommendations which Physician 1 approved
and Physician 1 would order medications to improve the resident's appetite such as Remeron (treats
depression and causes weight gain). Physician 1 stated the resident population in the community was
challenging and staffing was a challenge. Physician 1 felt the resident's needs were being addressed.
Physician 1 was asked severely times about what has the QAPI Committee implemented to promote fall
prevention in order to keep the residents safe and what was the Weight Variance Committee bring to QAPI
Committee to decrease the percentage of nutritional issues such as severe weight loss and gain. Physician
1 felt the residents' needs were being addressed and he felt the staff were doing a good job regarding
weight loss. Physician 1 felt surveyors were not looking at the big picture when discussing weight loss/gain
and falls. Physician 1 stated, You are not looking at the Forest through the Trees.
During an interview with the DON on 06/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., the QAPI program was presented and
discussed. The DON stated Department Heads within the facility were supposed to bring reports to her of
resident concerns or issues, to enter into the QAPI system but they were not bringing the reports. The DON
stated she bought a screen and a projector for this purpose, but they were inefficient, as there was
insufficient participation by Department Heads. When asked about the number resident falls at the facility,
the DON stated there had been 28 falls in January 2024, 34 falls in February 2024, 35 falls in March 2024,
12 falls in April 2024 and 25 falls in May 2024, for a total of 134 falls for the first five months of the year.
Three of these falls resulted in major injuries. The DON stated that although the number of falls were being
tracked, interventions for fall prevention measures were not being tracked. The DON stated Department
Heads had not had a meeting specifically to discuss falls and decide what they were going to do to reduce
the incidences of falls. The fall QAPI project presented to the Surveyors through the DON's computer had
several areas that were blank or empty.
During this interview with the DON on 6/21/24 at 5:01 p.m., she was asked if they had a QAPI project
regarding weight loss issues for the residents. The DON stated the Assistant Director of Nursing was
responsible for tracking information regarding this issue but had not provided her with any information to
enter into the QAPI plan. She presented the plan on her computer which was blank, as no data had been
entered. The DON stated the Administrator was aware of the weight loss issues among the resident
population of the facility. The DON stated no decisions had been made as to what they were going to
measure regarding weight loss issues, in the QAPI plan. The DON was also asked if they were tracking
staffing issues in the QAPI plan. The DON stated staffing was not being tracked. The DON stated the
Administrator was present in the QAPI meetings, but she (the DON) was the one coordinating the QAPI
program, however, she was not being assisted by the Department Heads who were supposed to provide
her with their reports, and she believed some Department Heads were not tracking any data.

During a phone interview on 6/24/24 at 1:46 p.m., Physician 1 stated he felt as if he had been attending
QAPI quarterly. Physician 1 stated falls were a big issue that should be trended to see why the resident was
falling, what time of day, interventions updated, etc. Physician 1 stated how QAPI was monitoring/tracking
falls and implementing safeguards to decrease the number of falls occurring in the facility would be
something to address with the Administrator. Physician 1 stated he was sympathetic regarding some of
these residents falling frequently because no matter what interventions you put in place the residents will
still tend to fall. It was addressed to Physician 1, if a facility decided to admit a resident, was it not up to the
facility to make sure the resident was safe and for a facility to have over 50 falls in a two-month period. The
data on falls was not being analyzed for trends/similarities so there was a comprehensive data on why so
many falls occurred in order to prevent falls and falls with injuries. Physician 1 stated, I agree. Physician 1
stated again, something to take up with the Administrator.
The facility policy and procedure titled, QAPI Policy & Procedure, dated 2022, indicated, Use this
Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) to plan and document your progress with tests of change conducted as part of

PDSA cycles in order to achieve your aim. Use as many forms as you need to track your PDSA cycles.
Identify opportunities for improvement that exist (look for causes of problems that have occurred -see
Guidance for Performing Root Cause Analysis with Performance Improvement Projects; or identify potential
problems before they occur . Points where breakdowns occur . Identify better ways to do things that
address the root causes of the problem .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and administrative document review, the facility failed to ensure it had an effective
Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) program when the Medical Director or designee did
not consistently attend meetings. This failure to have required committee members consistently attend
meetings had the potential to result in lack of facility identification of significant resident safety issues,
developing a plan to correct identified issues, implementing the plan, and monitoring the results which had
the potential to affect the outcomes, dignity, and safety of facility residents.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
A review of the QAPI committee sign in sheets indicated QAPI meetings took place on 2/28/23, 3/23/24,
4/27/23, 5/25/23, 7/20/23, 11/30/23, 12/21/23, 1/24/24, 2/28/24, 3/28/24, 4/18/24, and 5/23/24. The Medical

Medical Director was not present at the 11/30/2023 quarterly QAPI meeting.
During an interview on 6/21/24 at 3:34 p.m., it was addressed to the Administrator per reviewing the QAPI
sign in sheets, the Medical Director missed the 11/30/23, quarterly QAPI meeting. The last meeting the
Medical Director attended was 7/20/23 and he did not attend another QAPI meeting until 1/24/24, which
was six months later. The Administrator stated the Medical Director could have missed the QAPI meeting
because of the weather preventing him from coming in.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff practiced hand hygiene
and encouraged resident to wash or wipe their hands with wet washcloths before and after meals when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Five residents (Resident 13, Resident 64, Resident 3, Resident 9, and Resident 63) were served their
lunch trays without washing or wiping their hands clean before eating.
2. None of the residents in the social dining room were observed being reminded about hand sanitation
prior to their meals, or provided hand sanitation supplies.
3. Staff used the same gloves while feeding three residents at the same time and staff helped various
residents with their meals without hand sanitizing in between.
This failure can result in the spread of infection or an outbreak among the already frail health of the
residents and staff in the facility.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 6/10/24, at 12:43 PM, a CNA was observed serving lunch to Resident 13 in his
room. The CNA was not heard or observed to offer to wipe with a washcloth or wash the hands of Resident
13.
During an interview on 6/10/24, at 1:00 PM, Unlicensed Staff W stated they usually clean their residents in
the morning and the independent residents usually wash their hands. They usually do not offer to wash or
wipe with wash cloths the hands of the residents before meals.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/24, at 01:01 PM, a CNA was not heart to offer to
wash or wipe the hands of Resident 64 before serving his lunch tray. Resident 64 stated he was not asked
to wash or wipe his hand with a washcloth before lunch.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/24, at 1:07 PM, A CNA served Resident 3 her lunch
tray. The CNA did not offer to wash or wipe Resident 3's hands before giving her lunch tray. Resident 3 and
her roommate Resident 65 stated CNAs never offer to wash resident's hands.
During an interview on 6/12/24, at 12:57 PM, when asked if the CNA who served her lunch tray offered to
wash or wipe her hands before eating, Resident 9 stated, no.
During an observation 06/12/24 12:58 PM, Resident 13 was again not offered to wash or wipe his hands
before his meal.
During an interview on 6/12/24, at 12:59 PM, Unlicensed Staff X stated, she thought the other CNAs
already offered sanitizing wipes before trays were offered. She did not offer anymore.
During an interview on 6/12/24, at 01:01 PM, Unlicensed Staff Y stated she had not offered to wash or wipe
Resident 3's hands before her meal because she thought the CNA assigned to the hall already did it.

During an interview on 6/12/24, at 1:02 PM, Unlicensed Staff D stated he was assigned to the North Hall
but had not offered the sanitizing wipe to wipe the residents' hands before the trays were served because
he was busy. Unlicensed Staff D confirmed he had not offered to wash or wipe Resident 13's hands before
his meal.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/12/24, at 1:05 PM, Unlicensed Staff Z, served Resident
63's lunch without officering to wash or wipe his hands with a washcloth. Unlicensed Staff Z stated he
thought the CNA assigned to the hall already distributed the washcloths. Unlicensed Staff Z stated he had
cleaned the hands of his residents especially those who needed help at his assigned hall before the trays
were served.
3. During a Total Assisted Dining (TAD) Room observation, on 6/10/24 at 12:18 p.m., there were eight
residents and three staff members (Unlicensed Staff C, Unlicensed Staff E and a nurse) assisting the
residents. Unlicensed Staff E was wearing gloves while he was feeding Resident 4 to his left and Resident
2 to his right.
Resident 227 had arrived at the TAD Room and room was made for her to sit at the table next to Resident
2. Unlicensed Staff E, who was wearing gloves while feeding the resident on his left and the resident on his
right, stopped feeding the two residents and went to help Resident 227 cut her meat while wearing the
same gloves. Unlicensed Staff E went back to feeding Resident 4 and Resident 2 without changing his
gloves.
Unlicensed Staff E got up from feeding Resident 4 and Resident 2 to give Resident 227 a bag of Cheetos.
Unlicensed Staff E opened up Resident 227's Cheetos using the same gloves. Unlicensed Staff E used the
same gloves while assisting and feeding Resident 4, Resident 2, and Resident 227.
Unlicensed Staff C was feeding Resident 52. After Licensed Staff C was done feeding Resident 52,
Unlicensed Staff C started feeding Resident 55. Unlicensed Staff C did not sanitize her hands in between
feeding the two residents.
Unlicensed Staff E was trying to wake up Resident 2 and touched her fork to give her a bite of meat using
the same gloves he was feeding Resident 4 with and assisting Resident 227. Unlicensed Staff E then
assisted Resident 2 with her orange juice: held Resident 2's orange juice and her straw and placed the
straw in her mouth. Unlicensed Staff E then started to feed Resident 4 ice cream. Unlicensed Staff E then
held the left arm of Resident 4's wheelchair to direct her back to the table. Unlicensed Staff E never
changed his gloves throughout the meal.
Unlicensed Staff C picked up a few of the meal trays on table and placed them in the meal cart. Unlicensed
Staff C then went back to feeding Resident 55 without sanitizing her hands. Unlicensed Staff C picked up
two juices on the table and gave one of the juices to the nurse feeding a resident and gave the other juice
to Resident 55. Unlicensed Staff C had not sanitized her hands in between assisting/feeding residents.
During TAD Room observation on 6/12/24 at 12:26 p.m., a nurse and Unlicensed Staff C passed out the
resident meal trays and set-up residents for lunch, but no hand hygiene was offered prior to the residents'
lunch. Prior to lunch, Resident 29 had been playing with a balloon other residents and staff had been
touching but no hand hygiene was offered prior to her lunch. Resident 29 was blind, and her primary
language was Spanish. Resident 29 was set-up for lunch but no staff member in the TAD Room spoke

hand hygiene after eating her pasta with her fingers.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 12:37 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C was asked if the residents in the TAD
Room received hand hygiene before their lunch. Unlicensed Staff C state, Good question. None of the
residents in the TAD Room were offered hand hygiene before lunch.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 1:10 p.m., Unlicensed Staff D was asked if residents were offered a
washcloth to wash their hands and face before meals. Unlicensed Staff D said, You mean to offer each
resident a washcloth before each meal? When responded to in the affermative, Unlicensed Staff D said,
That did not happen, offering each resident a washcloth to wash their face and hands before each meal.
During an interview on 6/13/24 at 2:30 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C stated the HCP (Health Care Personal)
were not trained to assist or give each resident a washcloth before and after each meal to wash their hands
and face. Unlicensed Staff C stated if an HCP were feeding multiple residents at the same time with the
same gloves that could cause cross contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria
from one person, object or place to another). Unlicensed Staff C stated hand sanitizing one's hands in
between assisting residents in the TAD Room was missed because the hand sanitizer dispenser was on the
wall in the hallway right of the door. There was no hand sanitizer dispenser inside the TAD Room.
During an interview on 6/14/24 at 11:15 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated a Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) should not be feeding three residents in the TAD Room with the same gloves. The CNA
should use a new pair of gloves to feed each resident and hand sanitize after removing the old pair of
gloves and before applying the new pair of gloves to prevent cross contamination. The IP stated each
resident should be offered hand washing before each meal. The IP stated there were anti-bacteria wipes
and hand sanitizer to offer the residents who were in the dining rooms. The IP stated it was difficult to keep
the dining rooms sanitized when giving residents warm wash cloths so anti-bacteria wipes were offered
instead.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Hand Hygiene, last revised on 12/31/21, indicated, the facility
considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infection. Facility staff follow the hand
hygiene procedure to help prevent the spread of infections to other staff, residents, and visitors. Facility
staff, visitors, and volunteers must perform hand hygiene procedures before eating. The policy did not
specify for staff to offer or help residents wash or wipe their hands before and after eating.
2. During a dining observation on 6/10/24 at 12:14 p.m., in the social dining room of the facility, the entire
dining process was observed for lunch, from the time the residents were sitting in their tables, prior to being
served their meals, to the time the meals were picked up by staff. At no point during the observation, were
residents offered hand sanitizer or hand washing services. Their lunch meals on that day included a piece
of bread that residents would touch with their bare hands. One of the staff members assisting residents with
lunch in the social dining room was the Director of Staff Development (DSD).
During an interview in the social dining room of the facility on 6/10/24 at 1:11 p.m., Resident 61 and
Resident 21 stated not having received reminders to wash their hands or offered hand sanitizer prior to
having their lunch meal.

During an interview on 6/10/24 at 1:22 p.m., the DSD was asked if resident had received hand sanitation
services prior to being served their lunch meals during the dining observation on 6/10/24. The DSD stated
she did not sanitize the residents' hands prior to being served their lunch meals.
During an interview with Resident 14 on 6/14/24 at 11:30 a.m., she stated facility staff had begun to provide
them with hand sanitizer before meals after 6/10/24 (the day residents were observed not being offered

Surveyors were not in the facility, staff again did not offer hand sanitizer to the residents. According to
Resident 14, hand sanitizer was offered to the residents prior to their meals only when the Surveyors were

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on general kitchen observation and maintenance staff interview the facility failed to maintain the
physical environment of dietetic services as evidenced by standing water in one of the floor drains and
missing tiles in the dry storage area.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
It would be the standard of practice to ensure floors are constructed of smooth and durable surfaces to
allow for easy cleaning (USDA Food Code, 2022).
During general kitchen observation on 9/17/24 beginning at 9:30 a.m., it was noted there was a significant
amount of water on the floor in front of the 3-compartment sink adjacent to the dish machine. It was also
noted there was a floor drain that was filled with water, some of which was overflowing onto the floor. It was
also noted there were missing floor tiles, that contained food debris, in the upper right-hand corner,
underneath the wire shelving in the dry storage area.
In a follow up observation on 9/18/24 at 4 p.m., in the presence of Maintenance Staff (MS) the surveyor
asked him to evaluate the drainage issue in the floor drain. MS agreed there should be no standing water in
the floor drain and it likely needed to be cleaned out. MS also stated he was unaware of the issue and
relied on dietary staff to notify him when there are maintenance issues. Review of dietary cleaning
checklist, dated September 2024, failed to include the floor drains. Similarly, the departmental document
titled Sanitation and Food Safety Checklist, dated 8/6 and 8/30/24 and completed by the Registered
Dietitian, failed to include evaluation of the cleanliness of the floor drains. It was also noted the missing floor
tiles were not identified as an issue.
Departmental policy titled Sanitation dated 2023 indicated it was the responsibility of the DFS to notify any
maintenance issues to the maintenance department who will assist food and nutrition staff in maintaining
equipment.
