Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate care and
services to prevent UTI (urinary tract infection, a condition associated with invasion by disease causing
microorganisms of some part of the urinary tract) for one of one resident (Resident 24) reviewed for urinary
catheter or UTI. Resident 24 had a suprapubic catheter (a tube used to drain urine from the bladder
through an incision in the abdomen) and a history of recurrent UTIs. The facility failed to ensure proper
positioning of Resident 24's urinary drainage bag to prevent urine from flowing back into the bladder. This
posed the risk for Resident 24 to develop a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI).
Findings:
Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) topic titled Catheter-Associated Urinary
Tract Infections (CAUTI) Prevention Guideline dated 4/2024, showed urinary tract infections are the most
common type of healthcare associated infection. CAUTI has been associated with increased morbidity,
mortality, hospital cost, and length of stay. The section titled Proper Techniques for Urinary Catheter
Maintenance, showed to keep the collecting bag below the level of the bladder at all times. Do not rest the
bag on the floor.
During an initial tour of the facility on 6/3/24 at 1246 hours, Resident 24 was observed laying in bed with an
urinary catheter tubing attached to a urinary drainage bag. The urinary drainage bag was observed laying
on the floor.
Medical record review for Resident 24 was initiated on 6/3/24. Resident 24 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 24's H&P examination dated 7/1/23, showed Resident 24 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 24's Change in Condition Evaluation dated 5/29/24, showed Resident 24 had a UTI
started on 5/29/24 and was started on antibiotics.
On 6/5/24 at 0415 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 24.
Resident 24's urinary drainage bag was observed laying on the floor. Resident 24 stated he currently had a
UTI. Resident 24 stated he would put the urinary drainage bag on the floor himself and sometimes put it in
a trash bag. Resident 24 stated the facility did not educated him about the urinary drainage bag being
placed on the floor.
On 6/5/24 at 0425 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 4. LVN 4
verified the above findings. LVN 4 stated the urinary drainage bag should not be on the floor because of
bladder problems.
On 6/5/24 at 0545 hours, an interview was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator
was informed and acknowledged the above findings. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident 24 had a
suprapubic catheter and history of recurrent UTIs. The MDS Coordinator stated the urinary drainage bag
should be kept in a dignity bag and not placed on the floor for infection control.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary GT care and services for one of one resident reviewed for GT care (Resident 45).
*Resident 45's GT feeding bottle label did not indicate the start time of the feeding and the initials of the
nurse who hung the tube feeding.
This failure had the potential for the residents to develop complications related to tube feedings and/or risk
for infections.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Enteral Feedings 9/7/23, showed to label the bag and tubing with the date
and time hung. Hang time is for no more than 24 hours.
On 6/3/24 at 1235 hours and 6/4/24 at 1145 hours, an observation was conducted with Resident 45.
Resident 45's tube feeding bottle label was observed with the resident's name, room number, and date.
However, the tube feeding label did not include the start time and the nurse's initials who hung the tube
feeding.
Medical record review for Resident 45 was initiated on 6/5/24. Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 45's H&P examination dated 4/15/24, showed Resident 45 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 45's Order Summary Report dated 6/6/24, showed a physician's order dated 5/22/24,
to administer Jevity 1.2 (a type of feeding formula) at 65 ml/hr via pump for 20 hours to provide 1200/ml or
1560 kcals.
On 6/3/24 at 1430 hours, an interview was conducted with the IP. When asked about the process for
labeling the tube feeding when the bottle was changed, the IP stated the tube feeding was changed during
the night shift. The label needed to have the resident's name, date hung, start time, room number, and the
nurse's initials. The IP verified the tube feeding label did not include the start time and the nurse's initials.
On 6/5/24 at 0739 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. When asked about the process for
labeling the tube feeding when the bottle was changed, LVN 1 stated the tube feeding was changed during
the night shift. LVN 1 stated the label needed to have the resident's name, date hung, start time, room
number, and the nurse's initials.
On 6/5/24 at 0951 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON and Administrator. The DON stated the
tube feeding label should include the resident's name, date, time started, room number, and initials of the
nurse. The DON further stated the facility's enteral feeding policy should have included the initials of the
nurse who hung the tube feeding. The Administrator was informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
dialysis care was provided for one of one final sampled resident reviewed for dialysis services (Resident
29) as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 29's dialysis access site was assessed and monitored appropriately
and consistently. The licensed staff failed to assess Resident 29's dialysis access site after returning from
the dialysis clinic accurately. In addition, the licensed staff failed to document an assessment of Resident
29's dialysis access upon return from the dialysis clinic.
These failures had the potential for Resident 29 not being provided with appropriate care and treatment and
the possibility of medical complications related to the resident's dialysis access site.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Dialysis Care revised 10/1/18, showed for the licensed staff caring for the
residents with dialysis AV (Arteriovenous) shunt should inspect for functionality and sign and symptoms of
complications. Documentation included pre/post dialysis assessment, dialysis flow sheet-return
assessment, and dialysis medical intake sheet.
On 6/3/24 at 1058 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 29. Resident 29 stated she received
dialysis on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

members, during admission, regarding bringing in food from outside, the Admissions Director stated she
would only communicate regarding bringing in food from outside to the resident or the family members only
if the resident or family members asked about it. When asked if the policy about the use and storage of
brought in by family and visitors was provided to the residents or their representative as part of their
admission packet, the admission Director stated the policy should be part of their admission packet. When
asked for a documentation of the policy about the use and storage of brought in by family and visitors
provided to Resident 58 and/ or representative, the admission Director showed Resident 58's admission
Agreement.
Review of Resident 58's admission Agreement dated 2/22/23, under Attachment G: Snacks, showed to
make sure all food or snacks left with the resident are stored in a sealed Tupperware-like container. The
charge nurse must be notified in advance of any meals that will be brought in for the resident.
Further review of Resident 58's admission Agreement, and admission packet, did not show the policy about
the use and storage of brought in by family and visitors was provided to Resident 58 and/ or representative,
as part of the admission packet.
The Admissions Director verified the above findings.

P&P review, the facility failed to maintain the essential equipments in safe operating condition.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure the ice machine was cleaned and sanitized according to the manufacturer's
specification, and per the facility's P&P. An incorrect ratio of the nickel-safe cleaner was used to descale the
ice machine, a hot water instead of a sanitizing solution was used to sanitize the inside of the machine, and
an unidentified and unlabeled spray bottle was used to sanitize the panels of the ice machine. These
failures had the potential for the equipment to not function in the way it was intended, which could cause
food-borne illnesses for the residents.
* The glucometer in Medication Cart A's serial number did not match the glucometer serial number listed on
the Quality Control Record. This failure post a risk for incorrect blood sugar reading resulting to incorrect
blood sugar management that can negatively affect the resident's well-being.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's document titled Order Listing Report dated 6/3/24, showed 71 of 72 residents in
the facility received food prepared in the kitchen.
According to FDA Food Code 2022, Section 4-501.11, Good Repair and Proper Adjustment, showed the
proper maintenance of equipment to manufacturer specifications helps ensure that it will continue to
operate as designed. Failure to properly maintain equipment could lead to violations of the associated
requirements of the Code that place the health of the consumer at risk.
Review of the Ice-O-Matic Installation Guide and Owner's Manual dated 02/2020, under the Cleaning
Instruction for Ice-O-Matic CIM Series Ice Machines section, showed the following:
-Proper cleaning of an ice machine requires two parts: descaling and sanitizing. Descaling should be
scheduled at a minimum twice per year but no more than once a month;
-Descaling dissolves the mineral deposits on the evaporator and other surfaces. It removes scale, calcium,
lime scale and other mineral buildup. Ice-O-Matic requires nickel safe cleaner such as Nu-Calgon
Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner or equivalent diluted per manufacturer's instruction;
-Sanitizing should be performed after each descaling but no more than once per month. Sanitizing
disinfects the machine and removes microbial growth including mold and slime. Ice-O-Matic requires a
nickel-safe sanitizer such as Nu-Calgon IMS-III or equivalent diluted per manufacturer's instructions;
-Measure the appropriate amount of descaler according to the machine size and sump volume from chart.
The manual showed a chart for different Ice-O-Matic model numbers, sump size gallons, and examples of
descaler concentration ratio of five fluid ounce per one gallon of water (or 39 ml per one liter of water), and
the sanitizer concentration ratio of 1.6 fluid once per one gallon of water (12.5 ml per one liter of water) and
to add more according to the ice machine model; and
-Sanitizing the ice machine is recommended after descaling. Repeat the process with sanitizer at

-Wash the inside of the machine using pot and pan washing solution and rinse well;
-Sanitize the inside of the machine using a sanitizing solution and a clean cloth;
-Allow the inside of the machine to air dry, then refill the machine with ice; and
-Maintenance staff will clean the ice making mechanism according to manufacturer's guidelines.
Review of the facility's document titled Preventative Maintenance Ice Machine for 2024 showed an outside
vendor performed the quarterly cleaning service on 4/29/24.
On 6/4/24 at 0803 hours, an inspection of the ice machine and concurrent interview and facility document
review was conducted with the Director of Maintenance. The upper inside cabinet layer of the ice machine
was wiped with a white paper towel and a yellowish slime was observed on the paper towel. The Director of
Maintenance verified the above finding. When asked how often the ice machine was cleaned and sanitized,
the Director of Maintenance stated he cleaned and sanitized the ice machine monthly, and quarterly by an
outside vendor. When asked how he cleaned and sanitized the ice machine, the Director of Maintenance
stated he removed the front panel of the ice machine covering the area where the ice was made, and the
ice storage bin door. When asked what solution he used to clean the ice machine, the Director of
Maintenance stated he used a capful of the nickel-safe ice machine cleaner (using the bottle cap) diluted
with a little bit of water, to which he showed a bottle of H.B. 30 nickel safe ice machine cleaner. Upon
inspection of the bottle of H.B. (Hydro Balance) 30 nickel safe ice machine cleaner, the directions for use
section, showed to add H.B 30 to circulating water at the rate of three to six ounces per gallon of water.
When asked what he used to sanitize the ice machine, the Director of Maintenance stated he used hot
water to clean the inside of the ice machine and used the sanitizer spray only to the panels of the ice
machine, to which he showed a green spray bottle. Upon inspection of the green spray bottle, the spray
bottle was labeled only with for ice machine only sticker, and the spray bottle did not show any brand, nor a
label to show if it was the correct sanitizer solution for the ice machine. The Director of Maintenance stated
the green spray bottle was provided by the outside vendor but did not know what brand it was. The Director
of Maintenance verified he did not follow the correct procedure and correct ratio of the solutions per the
manufacturer's specifications, and per the facility's P&P.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Medical
record review of Resident 18 was initiated on 6/3/24. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 18's H&P examination dated 4/3/24, showed Resident 18 had fluctuating capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 18's Bed Rail assessment dated [DATE], showed the side rails or assist bars indicated
and serve as an enabler to promote independence.
Review of Resident 18's Plan of Care dated 5/16/24, showed a care plan problem to address Resident 18
use of the bilateral upper quarter siderails for ADL changes, mobility, positioning and as an enabler. The
interventions included to discuss and record with the resident family or caregivers the risk and benefits of
the restraint when the restraints should or will be applied, the routines while restrained, and any concern or
issues regarding restraint issues.
On 6/3/24 at 0910 hours and 6/3/24 at 1215 hours, Resident 18 was observed lying in bed with the bilateral
upper bed rails elevated (from head to elbow).
On 6/4/24 at 1430 hours, an interview and concurrent record review for Residents 18 was conducted with
the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director stated he was responsible for the bed inspection
including inspecting, and installing the bed rails after he received the request from the nurses to install the
bed rails. The Maintenance Director was asked to provide documentation for entrapment assessment. The
Maintenance director acknowledged he did not do any entrapment assessment. The maintenance Director
verified the above findings.
On 6/6/24 at 1100 hours, the Environmental Services Staff was summoned to Resident 18's room. The
Environmental Services Staff measured the side rail length and width and it was 20.5 inches by 10 inches.
The Environmental Services Staff acknowledged that the gap with length and width of 3 inch x 7 inch could
possibly entrapped the arm and hand. The Environmental Services Staff verified the findings.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate, complete and the
measurements were recorded during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with
the use of bed rails for all three residents (Residents 18, 50, and 423) with side rails. These failures had the
potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.
Findings:
According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the
term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the
space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths
and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the
bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed

rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and
residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The
seven areas in the bed system where there is a potential for entrapment are:
- Zone 1: within the rail;
Residents Affected - Few
- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;
- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;
- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;
- Zone 5: between split bed rails;
- Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and
- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Rails revised 11/16/22, showed for the purpose of this policy bed rails
include side rails, safety rails, and grab or assist bars. Regardless of mattress type, width, length, and/or
depth, the bed frame, bed rail, and mattresses will leave no gap wide enough to entrap a resident's head or
body. Any gaps in the bed system are within the safety dimensions established by the FDA. Maintenance
staff routinely inspects all bed and related equipment to identify risks and problems including potential
entrapment risks. The maintenance department provides a copy of inspection to the administrator and
report results to the QAPI committee for appropriate actions. Copies of the inspection results and QAPI
committee recommendations are maintained by the administrator and/or safety committee.
Review of the facility documents showed the facility had three residents with the use of side rails.
A concurrent observation, medical record review, and facility document review for Residents 18, 50, and
423 showed the residents' bed entrapment assessments were not accurate, completed, or the bed
inspection gap measurements were not recorded from bed to side rail or bed headboard to siderail. For
example:
1. On 6/3/24 at 1054 hours and 6/4/24 at 0819 hours, Resident 50 was observed lying in bed with both
upper side rails were elevated.
Medical record review for Resident 50 was initiated on 6/4/24. Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on
