Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the right for privacy and
dignity was promoted to maintain the resident's self-worth for one of 43 sampled residents (Resident 33),
when the privacy curtains were not pulled, or the door not closed during resident care.
This failure resulted in not attaining or maintaining the resident's highest practicable physical, mental,
emotional, and psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
Resident 33 was admitted to the facility in early 2023 with diagnoses which included memory impairment
and muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 33's Nursing Care Plan (NCP), dated 11/24/23, the NCP indicated, [Resident
33] is dependent on staff for meeting emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs.

Resident 33 with the door opened and the privacy curtains not pulled and the procedure visible to the
outside hallway. Resident 33's lower body was exposed and had no sheet to cover the resident.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/21/24 at 10:20 a.m. with the Medical Record Assistant
(MRA), the MRA passed by the hallway and noticed the two staff providing care to Resident 33, verified the
observed situation, entered the room, and stated, Do you guys pull the curtains while you're doing
something with the patient? The MRA then stated, I think they are from hospice. There is no privacy for the
resident.
During an interview on 3/21/24 at 10:35 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, When
providing care to the residents, dignity and privacy should always be maintained. To make sure dignity and
provide privacy for the patient, the door should be closed, or the curtains be pulled.
During an interview on 3/21/24 at 10:40 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 12 (LN 12), LN 12 confirmed he provided
care to Resident 33 with another staff, and stated, I was just assessing the patient and the

Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive assessment was
performed in accordance with the regulatory time frame for one of 43 sampled residents (Resident 681),
when the admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool) was not completed.
This failure had the potential to result in the resident not attaining the highest practicable physical, mental
and psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
Resident 681 was admitted in late 2018 with diagnoses which included stroke, muscle weakness,
malnutrition, and difficulty swallowing.
During a review of Resident 681's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the assessment was incomplete,
still in progress, and overdue.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/18/24 at 10:23 a.m., Resident 681 was in bed, alert
and verbal but minimally responsive, and stated, I am just new here. Let me go back to sleep.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/24 at 7:15 a.m., Resident 681 was in bed, awake
and verbally responsive, and stated, I'm glad I survived yesterday.
During an interview on 3/21/24 at 7:14 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 11 (LN 11), LN 11 verified and confirmed
Resident 681's MDS was not completed, and stated, The MDS was due on 3/5/24.
During an interview on 3/21/24 at 7:17 a.m. with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC verified
Resident 681's admission MDS was late, and stated, The MDS should have been completed by 3/14/24.
During an interview on 3/21/24 at 7:39 a.m. with the MDS Director (MDSD), the MDSD stated, So when I
set up the ARD (assessment reference date), the last day of assessment, all the pertinent departments
would have to have their assessments in by that ARD and should be completed by 14 days .I believe
[Resident 681's] MDS was due on the 14th [March, 2024] and is not completed. This is an IDT
(interdisciplinary team) assessment (used to create an individual care plan, that is managed on a daily
basis), and I was waiting for social services .I agree that it was not completed.
During a review of the undated Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI, the MDS process), the RAI
indicated, The RAI process is a means of ensuring that residents receive the highest quality of care and
can maintain the highest quality of life. The process helps nursing professional and staff assess a resident's
strengths and needs to create an individualized care plan. This allows for a holistic approach to care for
each resident. This assessment is completed initially and periodically and is comprehensive, accurate, and
standardized. It is a reproducible assessment of each resident's functional capacity.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to
maintain or improve mobility and prevent decline in range of motion (ROM) for two out of 43 sampled
residents (Resident 107 and Resident 44) when Resident 107 and Resident 44's restorative nursing
program (RNA program- interventions that actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical,
mental, and psychosocial functioning) frequency was not followed.
This failure had the potential for Resident 107 and Resident 44 to experience decline in range of motion or
impairment in mobility.
Findings:
1a. A review of Resident 107's clinical record indicated Resident 107 was admitted October of 2023 and
had diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture of vertebra (collapse of a bone in the front of the
spine which can lead to loss of strength, sensation, and/or reflexes), multiple fractures on bilateral (both
sides) ribs, and muscle weakness.
A review of Resident 107's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool used to guide care) Cognitive
Patterns, dated 1/13/24, indicated Resident 107 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to
assess cognition) score of 13 out of 15 which indicated Resident 107 had an intact cognition.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 10:04 a.m. with Resident 107, Resident 107 stated he has not had his
therapy exercises for a week now and he would like to have more exercises.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the environment was free
from accident hazards, for one of 43 sampled residents (Resident 57), when there was an uneven pathway
leading to, from and inside the designated smoking area.
This failure resulted in Resident 57 feeling unsafe navigating the pathway to the smoking area and had the
potential to result in accidents and injuries.
Findings:
Resident 57 was admitted to the facility in late 2019 with diagnoses of Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the
spinal canal), abnormalities of gait and mobility and Major Depressive Disorder (feelings of sadness and/or
loss of interest in daily activities).
Review of the clinical record for Resident 57 included:
A Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool), dated 12/25/23, indicated Resident 57 had no memory
impairment.
A smoking safety assessment, dated 1/3/24, indicated safety concerns for Resident 57 included her
impaired gait and balance.
During an interview with Resident 57, on 3/18/24 at 12:01 p.m., she stated, I feel unsafe with the cracks in
the sidewalks and smoking area .I am in this wheelchair and it's dangerous. Resident 57 stated she had
reported her concerns to the Activities Director (AD) a few months ago.
During an interview on 3/19/24 at 9 a.m., the AD, stated she was aware of the cracks in the sidewalks, but
not aware of any plans to repair them. The AD confirmed the cracks could cause accidents and injuries to
residents who go out to the smoking area.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/24 at 9:10 a.m., the Maintenance Supervisor (MS)
stated he was not aware of any cracks in the sidewalks of the smoking area and had not received any
requests for repairs. The MS reviewed photos of the smoking area sidewalks and confirmed they needed
repair.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/20/24 at 2:57 p.m. with the MS, he confirmed he
observed multiple areas of uneven sidewalks and cracked concrete in the smoking area and that it was a
safety concern for the residents that smoke.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 3:05 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated that it was her
expectation that the smoking area was maintained in a safe manner and agreed multiple areas of uneven
sidewalks and cracked concrete could be unsafe for the residents.
A review of the facility's Smoking Agreement, undated, stipulated, The safety of ALL residents is paramount
and supersedes any right to smoke. Whenever a safety concern is evident, the facility staff shall take
IMMEDIATE necessary steps to mitigate the risk.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper delivery of
respiratory care was consistent with the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) and the professional
standards of practice for one out of 43 sampled residents (Resident 18) when Resident 18's physician's
order for oxygen therapy was not followed.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in unsafe delivery of oxygen to Resident 18 that could lead to
respiratory problems.
Findings:
A review of Resident 18's clinical record indicated Resident 18 was originally admitted March of 2016 and
had diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a group of diseases that
causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), respiratory failure ( a serious condition that
develops when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood and makes it difficult for a person to
breathe on his own), and dementia (impairment of the ability to remember, think, or make decisions that
interferes with everyday activities).
A review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool used to guide care) Cognitive
Patterns, dated 2/29/24, indicated Resident 18 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to
assess cognition) score of 10 out of 15 which indicated Resident 18 had a moderately impaired cognition. A
review of Resident 18's MDS Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs, dated 2/29/24, indicated
Resident 18 had oxygen therapy while he is a resident in the facility.
During an observation on 3/18/24 at 8:57 a.m. in Resident 18's room, Resident 18 was observed lying on
bed and was using oxygen delivered using a nasal cannula (NC- a medical device with two prongs that is
connected to an oxygen source used to deliver supplemental oxygen directly into the nostrils) with an an
oxygen concentrator set at 5 liters per minute (LPM- unit of measurement for oxygen administration flow
rate).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/18/24 at 12:25 p.m. with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) in Resident 18's room, Resident 18 was observed lying on the bed and was using oxygen
delivered using a nasal cannula with oxygen concentrator still set at 5 LPM. The ADON confirmed the
observation.
A review of Resident 18's active physician's order, dated 8/1/23, indicated, Oxygen at 2L/min [LPM] via
nasal cannula continuously. may titrate [continuously measure and adjust] O2 [oxygen] to maintain SPO2
[Oxygen saturation- measurement of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage] greater or
equal to 90 % [percent- measurement of one part in every hundred]. every shift related to CHRONIC
OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, UNSPECIFIED .when in bed.
A review of Resident 18's care plan intervention, initiated 6/4/20, indicated, .OXYGEN SETTINGS: Oxygen
at 2L/min via nasal cannula continuous per MD order .
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/20/24 at 10:10 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 9,
Resident 18's clinical records were reviewed. LN 9 stated, .We [staff] document in the progress note [of the
resident] if we titrate the oxygen . LN 9 confirmed that Resident 18 had no documented notes that his
oxygen was titrated to maintain oxygen saturation greater or equal to 90% on 3/18/24.

LN 9 also stated she would expect that Resident 18 should be getting 2 lpm on 3/18/24 because there was
no progress note indicating it was titrated. LN 9 further stated that physician's orders for oxygen therapy
should always be followed.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 3:15 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, .we should
administer 2 liters [per minute] if that's the doctors order .there should be documentation why it is being
titrated that time .[the] patient should be thoroughly assess if [resident] needs oxygen titrated . The DON
further stated that not following the physician's order for oxygen therapy is not safe and might result to
respiratory problems of the resident.
A review of the facility's P&P titled, Oxygen Administration, revised 2/23/24, indicated, 1. Oxygen is
administered under orders of a physician . 3. The resident care plan shall identify the interventions for
oxygen therapy, based upon the resident's .orders, such as .c. Equipment setting for the prescribed flow
rates . 9. Staff shall notify the physician of any changes in the resident's condition, including changes in vital
signs, oxygen concentrations .associated with the use of oxygen.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that pharmacy services
were maintained when controlled drug (medication that may be abused or cause addiction) record forms
were inaccurately signed for a census of 126.
The failure had the potential to result in diversion of the residents' medication.
Findings:
During a review of the controlled drug record forms for five discharged residents, under the section titled
Disposition of Remaining Doses, there were two sections that the nurse who received the controlled
medications could sign. The first section indicated, Doses Disposed and the second section indicated
Doses discharged with Patient. Further review of the controlled drug forms indicated that the nurse received
the controlled medications and signed the section indicating Doses discharged with Patient.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/19/24 at 10:31 a.m., of the controlled medication
storage in the Director of Nursing's (DON) office, the DON verified that the controlled drug record forms
were signed in the wrong section for five discharged residents. The DON stated that the signed controlled
drug forms suggested that the controlled drugs were given to the residents at discharge. The DON further
stated that controlled drugs are not given to residents at discharge but are destroyed by the nurse. The
DON acknowledged that controlled drug record forms that are incorrectly signed could result in controlled
drugs being diverted.
Review of the facility policy titled, Controlled Substance Administration and Accountability dated 12/19/22,
indicated, .the entire amount of controlled substances obtained or dispensed is accounted for .two licensed
staff must witness any disposal or destruction of a controlled substance and document same on the Drug
Disposition Record, Controlled Drug Record .any discrepancies which cannot be resolved must be reported
immediately .

her usual schedule was 35 hours per week. These hours were split between clinical nutrition and being a
resource for the kitchen. She further explained that she does not hire or supervise dietary staff. Her
involvement in the kitchen was a monthly audit, conducting test trays, and providing monthly in-services for
dietary staff on occasion.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prepare foods that conserved nutritive value,
flavor, and appearance; and served food at unappetizing temperatures.
Residents Affected - Some
This had the potential of leading to poor intake, malnutrition and weight loss for the 124 residents eating
facility prepared meals when:
1. Vegetables were heated for over 2 hours,
2. Pureed meals were prepared without measuring ingredients, and
3. Pureed food was prepared in a dirty food processor bowl.
Findings:
1. During the initial kitchen tour on 3/18/24 at 9:12 a.m., the steamer doors were opened, and a large pan
of green beans were being heated.
During the dining observation on 3/18/24 at 12:08 p.m. the first cart of lunch trays exited the kitchen.
Review of John Hopkins Medicine website on How to Keep the Nutrients in your Veggies indicated, Cooking
decreases some of the nutrients in vegetables. Higher temperatures and longer cooking times are the two
variables that can cause more nutrient loss.
2. During a return visit to the kitchen on 3/19/24 at 9:57 a.m. [NAME] 1 (CK 1) filled a pot with hot water and
placed on the stove to boil, and adding a bag of frozen zucchini. After boiling the zucchini, CK 1 drained off
excess water and added an unmeasured amount of zucchini to the food processor bowl (which had not
been cleaned from the pureeing of bread). CK 1 next added an unmeasured amount of broth (no margarine
was added as required for the regular Butter Zucchini recipe).
Review of facility provided Pureed Vegetables Recipe ([NAME], undated) indicated in the directions to:
1. Remove portions required from regular prepared recipe .Process until smooth.
2.If necessary add a small amount of reserved cooking liquid.
During a return kitchen visit on 3/19/24 at 11:20 a.m., CK 1 was observed pureeing tortellini. CK 1 added
an unmeasured amount of water to the food processor bowl along with the tortellini and pureed until jiggly.
A Surveyor test tray conducted on 3/19/24 at 1:13 p.m. found the pureed tortellini to be bland when
compared to the regular product.
Review of facility provided Pureed Casseroles Recipe ([NAME], undated) indicated in the ingredient list to
include casserole, hot broth or hot 2% milk, and thickener (if needed). No water was included.

During an interview on 3/20/24 at 10:52 a.m. with the Consultant Registered Dietitian (CRD) and Dietary
Manager (DM), the CRD stated that broth or milk were added in order to help maintain flavor or add
nutrition. Adding water would potentially dilute the flavor and nutrition.
3. After boiling the zucchini, CK 1 drained off excess water. She then brought the zucchini over to the food
processor which had a bowl with a tan residue covering the internal surfaces. When asked what the residue
was, CK 1 stated she had used the bowl to puree bread and proceeded to add the zucchini to be
processed.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 10:52 a.m. with the CRD and DM, the CRD stated the food processor
bowl should have been cleaned before preparing another recipe as there was a risk that residents with

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accommodate food allergies and
food preferences for six of 43 sampled residents (Resident 100, Resident 26, Resident 34, Resident 57,
Resident 97, and Resident 89).
This had the potential of leading to allergic reactions (including death), as well as lead to poor intake and
weight loss in the 124 residents receiving facility prepared meals.
Findings:
1. Resident 100 was admitted in the middle of 2022 with diagnoses which included failure to thrive.
During the lunch meal observation on 3/18/24 at 12:32 p.m., Resident 100 was unable to get coffee with his
meal. He stated, As an American, usually we drink coffee and it has been scarce. The resident added,
Sometimes I don't get ice cream. I prefer ice cream. Noted on the resident's meal tray was a piece of cake
for dessert. On the meal card it indicated the resident's preference was ice cream. Licensed Nurse 13 (LN
13) brought Resident 100 two small cups of ice cream, and stated, So, the kitchen staff are supposed to
know your preference for ice cream because it says on your meal card. They are supposed to put it in there
right away.
During an Interview with Consultant Registered Dietitian (CRD) on 3/19/24 at 8:45 a.m., the CRD stated
that staff were being trained to check the food preference area (instead of the note section) as this was a
recent change implemented from corporate.
2. Resident 26 was admitted in late 2023 with diagnoses which included diabetes (abnormal blood sugar
levels) and malnutrition.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 3:29 p.m., Resident 26 complained of having a sensitive stomach
requiring several food preferences. Resident 26 stated her system did not tolerate garlic but she had
received food items containing garlic. Resident 26 also stated they had not allowed her to receive sausage
which she really liked and missed.
During an interview with the CRD on 3/19/24 at 8:45 a.m., the CRD stated that Resident 26's food
preferences included no garlic as well as no sausage. The CRD stated she would remove sausage from the
food dislikes.
3. Resident 34 was admitted in late 2021 with diagnoses which included stroke and malnutrition.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 3:48 p.m. with Resident 34, Resident 34 stated she received green beans
for 12 meals in a row (excluding breakfasts). Res 34 stated she disliked carrots and salads which may be
the reason she gets green beans so often, but now she is tired of them.
During dining observations, green beans were given at lunch on both 3/18/24 (as the main vegetable) and
3/19/24 (as the alternative vegetable).
During an interview on 3/19/24 with [NAME] 1 (CK 1 ), CK 1 stated that she tried to remember what the
alternative was from the previous meal or would ask other employees. They stated the facility did

During an observation on 3/19/24 at 10:48 a.m., CK 1 was observed adding unmeasured amounts of salt to
burgers and fries being prepared for the lunch meal. CK 1 explained that she had a sensitive stomach and
did not taste test the food prepared.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 10:52 a.m. with the Dietary Manager (DM) and CRD, the DM stated they
were not aware of the use of salt by CK 1 and will educate and monitor.
4. Resident 57 was admitted in early 2023 with diagnoses which included diabetes and muscle weakness.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 4:04 p.m., Resident 57 stated that the consistent carbohydrate diet did
not receive the best options for them (such as whole wheat bread instead white, sweet potatoes instead of
white potatoes). Resident 57 also reported that she received chicken tenders often, when she disliked the
entree on the menu, and preferred to have more variety.
Chicken tenders were given as an alternative on the 3/19/24 lunch meal.
5. Resident 97 was admitted in late 2022 with diagnoses which included diabetes.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 4:10 p.m., Resident 97 stated that alternative items are not always
available though not removed from the alternative menu, and that the soup is often watery.
Interview with the CRD on 3/29/24 at 8:45 a.m., the CRD stated that they use canned soups as well as well
as house made soups. She did not believe that the cook's alter the recipes, but that they have new recipes
which may not be as well received as the previous menus.
6. Resident 89 was admitted in late 2023 with diagnoses which included stroke, diabetes and difficulty
swallowing.
During an interview on 3/18/24 at 4:28 p.m., Resident 89 stated hot food is often cold or lukewarm.
Surveyor test tray conducted on 3/19/24 at 1:13 p.m. found the zucchini temperature measured at 104
degrees F (Fahrenheit, a unit of measurement) which had a lukewarm mouth feel.
Res 89 also stated she received green beans too frequently.
Res 89 lastly stated that she has a seafood allergy but had received shrimp and tuna fish on her meal trays
during her stay. (Note sign behind bed to warn staff not to give seafood due to allergy).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an effective infection prevention and

delivery cart in the facility, and they would use the cart to deliver clean beddings, towels, washcloths, and
other linens that they wash in the laundry room every day. Upon request to see documentation of cleaning
the cart, the LS stated they do not have a log for cleaning the cart. The LS further stated if the cart was not
clean, the dust might get in contact with the clean linen and could lead to possible spread of germs to the
residents.
During an interview on 3/20/24, at 9:02 a.m. with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the MS stated, .The
laundry staff should clean it [clean-linen delivery cart]. There's no schedule yet on how often the carts are
cleaned . The MS further stated, . [The clean- linen delivery cart should be regularly cleaned] so it doesn't
build-up with dust or anything else .Dirt can transfer to the clean linen and might spread to the residents.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/20/24, at 9:31 a.m., in the northeast clean-linen storage
room, with LS, LS was observed stocking clean linens to the storage shelves and two out of two clean linen
storage shelves were found with a thick layer of dust on the side corners. LS confirmed the observation. LS
stated they do not have a scheduled regular cleaning of the clean-linen storage shelves.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 12:30 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated, . If it's
[clean-linen delivery cart and clean-linen storage shelves] dirty, [there's a] possibility of transfer [of dirt or
germs] to [the] clean linen and [it] can get transferred to residents .
