Residents Affected - Some
Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a dining experience that
maintained or enhanced resident's dignity and respect during mealtimes for facility residents by not
ensuring:
1. The dining room offered enough space for all residents to sit down at the same time for mealtimes.
2. All residents sitting at the same table were served food at the same time.
3. All residents received their breakfast at the same time.
4. Residents were not served food on disposable plates and bowls.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident's self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:16 p.m., in the dining room, staff were observed passing out
food trays to residents. Not all residents sitting at the same table received their food trays at the same time.
Staff passed out food trays to different residents sitting at different tables, skipping residents.
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:22 p.m., in the dining room, residents were observed forming a
line at the entrance of the dining room. Residents were in line waiting for a seat to become available.
During an observation on 2/12/2025 at 12:07 p.m., in the dining room, an unidentified resident was
observed walking into the dining room, looked around the room for a place to sit and stayed standing in the
middle of the dining room because there were no empty seats. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 asked
the resident to stand by the door until there was an available seat for him to use.
During an observation on 2/13/2025 at 1216 p.m., in the dining room, an unidentified resident came to the
dining room but could not find a seat. CNA 3 told the resident to go back to their room and he would call the
resident when there was an available chair. The resident stood standing in the middle of the dining room
looking around at all the seated residents. CNA 3 told the resident again to go back to her room and the
resident left the dining room.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 12:18 p.m. with CNA 3 in the dining room, CNA 3 stated the dining
room did not have enough space for all residents to sit down and eat together. CNA 3 stated residents must
wait until there was an available chair for them. CNA 3 stated residents must wait against the wall while
other residents were eating. CNA 3 stated the dining room did not have enough chairs for all residents and
that was the reason why residents had to wait to eat.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 10:35 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
north side of the facility housed 50 residents and the dining room only had 40 chairs to accommodate
residents during mealtimes. The DON stated staff sent residents back to their rooms to wait for a seat
because the facility's dining room could not accommodate all residents. The DON stated it was an
acceptable practice to send residents back to their rooms or have them wait in line because the facility
could not accommodate all the residents. The DON stated this practice would make residents feel bad
because they were sent away and had to wait to eat.
2. During an observation on 2/1/2025 at 12:20 p.m., in the dining room, staff were observed passing out
food trays to residents. Not all residents sitting at the same table received their food trays at the same time.
Staff passed out food trays to different residents seated at different tables, skipping residents.
During an interview at 2/14/2025 at 10:46 a.m. with the DON, the DON stated there was no particular
process for passing out food trays. The DON stated there was no particular order staff followed when
passing out trays or where residents were seated during mealtimes. The DON stated it was acceptable to
skip some residents seated at the same table and have other residents seated at the same table wait for
their food.
3. During an observation on 2/13/2025 at 7:54 a.m., in the kitchen, while preparing breakfast there were no
more cooked hashbrowns left. Dietary [NAME] (DC) 2 was observed cooking more hashbrowns which
caused a delay in residents receiving their food.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 8:01 a.m. with DC 2, in the kitchen, DC 2 stated some of the residents
received their breakfast late because she ran out of hashbrowns and had to cook more. DC 2 stated she
cooked one box of hashbrowns and the hashbrowns ran out while she was plating the breakfast trays. DC 2
stated the hashbrown box contained 118 hashbrowns and the facility had 146 residents. DC 2 stated she
knew there was not enough hashbrowns to provide for all the residents. DC 2 stated she waited until she
ran out of the hashbrowns before she cooked more hashbrowns which caused the delay. DC 2 stated it was
not right to have residents wait for their food. DC 2 stated it was important to have all residents eat at the
same time to preserve their dignity.
During an interview ono 2/13/2025 at 2:10 p.m. with the DS, in the kitchen, the DS stated DC 1 and DC 2
informed her they ran out of hashbrowns while plating the food. The DS stated the cooks should have
counted the hashbrowns and should have known it was not enough. The DS stated it was not appropriate
for cooks to wait until the last minute to cook additional food because it created a delay in residents
receiving their food. The DS stated it was important for all residents to receive their food at the same time to
provide a homelike environment and for resident's dignity. The DS stated it could potentially had caused
residents to become upset and inpatient while waiting for their food.
4. During an observation 2/13/2025 at 7:56 a.m., in the kitchen, DC 2 used disposable plates to serve food
to the residents.

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 12:49 p.m., south dining room, residents received their food on
disposable bowls.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 7:58 a.m. with DC 2, in the kitchen, DC 2 stated she was serving
residents food on disposable plates because she did not have any more plates. DC 2 stated it was
important to serve food on regular plates because it kept the residents' food warm and for their dignity.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 1:48 p.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated residents
were served their meals on disposable plates because the facility did not have enough plates for all
residents. The DS stated it was not appropriate to serve food on disposable plates because it was not
providing a home like environment during mealtimes. The DS stated serving residents food on disposable
plates could potentially cause residents to feel bad, feel less than the other residents and it did not respect
residents' dignity.
During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Dining Room Service dated 12/2024, the P&P
indicated food would be delivered promptly to assure quality. The P&P indicated meals would be distributed
promptly to maintain adequate temperature and appearance. The P&P indicated all individuals should be
encouraged to sit in a dining rom chair.
During a review of facility's P&P titled Disposable Dishes and Utensils, dated 12/2024, the P&P indicated
the facility will use single-service items only in extenuating circumstances (events or situations that make it
difficult to do something), such as machine failure and individual resident needs. The P&P indicated
single-service articles may be used to serve residents in emergency or isolation.
During a review of facility's P&P titled Dignity, dated 12/2024, the P&P indicated each resident shall be
cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life, dignity and individuality. The P&P
indicated treated with dignity meant the resident would be assisted in maintaining and enhancing his or her
self-esteem and self-worth.

Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
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 obtain informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept
treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives
offered) prior to administration of psychotropic medication (medications that affect the mind, emotions, and
behavior) for three of eight sampled residents (Residents 31, 16, and 347) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Ensure informed consent was obtained from Resident 31's conservator (a person who has been
appointed by the court to make decisions for another person who is deemed incompetent) prior to Resident
31's initial administration of Trazodone (an antidepressant [a medication used to treat depression, which is
a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest] and a sedative [a
medication used to help an individual fall asleep]) on 7/30/2024.
2. Ensure Resident 31's Verification of Informed Consent were complete and included the frequency (how
often) of administration for haloperidol (an antipsychotic medication [a medication that affects the mind,
emotions, and behavior]), Depakote (an anticonvulsant medication, a medication used to prevent or treat
seizures and can be used to treat behavioral disorders), and Trazodone.
3. Ensure Resident 16's Verification of Informed Consent were complete and included the frequency of
administration for Buspirone (an antianxiety medication [a medication used to treat anxiety, which is
characterized by feelings of unease, worry, and fear]), Ativan (an antianxiety medication), and Zyprexa (an
antipsychotic medication).
4. Ensure Resident 347's Verification of Informed Consent was complete and included the frequency of
administration for Zyprexa.
These deficient practices resulted in the removal of Residents 31, 16, and 347's conservators' right to make
decisions about the care and treatments the residents received in the facility.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 31's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 31
was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), type 2 diabetes
mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and
hyperlipidemia (a condition with too many fats in the blood). The Face Sheet indicated Resident 31 has a
conservator.
During a review of Resident 31's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated
11/29/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 31's cognition (process of thinking) was moderately impaired. The
MDS indicated Resident 31 had hallucinations (when an individual sees, hears, smells, tastes, or feels
something that is not there) and delusions (an unshakable belief in something that is untrue). The MDS
indicated Resident 31 was independent with eating, toileting, bathing, and dressing. The MDS indicated
Resident 31 took antipsychotic, antidepressant, and anticonvulsant medication.
During a review of Resident 31's Order Recap Report, dated 2/1/2024 through 2/28/2025, the Order Recap
Report indicated to give Trazodone 50 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement) by mouth, at bedtime for lack
of sleep. The order was initiated on 7/30/2024.

During a review of Resident 31's Medication Administration Record ([MAR], a daily documentation record
used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 7/1/2024
through 7/30/2024, the MAR indicated Resident 31 received the first dose of Trazodone 50mg on 7/30/2024
at 9 p.m.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 2:28 p.m., with RN 1, Resident 31's
Verification of Informed Consent for Trazodone dated 9/1/2024 at 12/31/2024 were reviewed. RN 1 stated
Resident 31 did not have a Verification of Informed Consent for the use of Trazodone prior to Resident 31's
initial administration on 7/30/2024. RN 1 stated Resident 31 had two Verification of Informed Consent for
Trazodone because the facility was required to renew informed consents for psychotropic medication every
six months after the initial informed consent was completed. RN 1 stated the purpose of verifying and
obtaining informed consent from Resident 31's conservator prior to the initial administration of Trazodone
was to ensure Resident 31's conservator was aware of the indication, risks, and benefits of Trazodone.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 4:05 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated prior to
the initial administration of a psychotropic medication, informed consent needed to be obtained and
verified. The DON stated without the Verification of Informed Consent for Resident 31's initial administration
of Trazodone on 7/30/2024, it would indicate that Resident 31's conservator was not notified of the
indication, risks, and benefits. The DON stated without obtaining informed consent, Resident 31's
conservator was deprived of the right to ask questions, to request additional education, and to make an
informed decision whether Resident 31 should receive Trazodone.
2. During a review of Resident 31's Order Recap Report, dated 2/1/2024 through 2/28/2025, the Order
Recap Report indicated to give Trazodone 50 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), by mouth, at bedtime
for lack of sleep. The initial Order date was 7/30/2024.

Medication Review Report indicated to:
a. Give Depakote Extended Release 1500mg, by mouth, in the evening for mood swings. The Order date
was 4/13/2024.
b. Inject haloperidol 450mg, intramuscularly (into the muscle), every four weeks, on Thursday, on day shift
related to schizophrenia.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 2:28 p.m., with RN 1, RN 1 stated the facility was required to renew
informed consents for psychotropic medication every six months. RN 1 stated when a renewal of informed
consent was verified, all aspects of the medication, such as medication name, dosage, frequency, and
indication of use, was reviewed with the conservator.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/13/2025 at 2:38 p.m., with RN 1, Resident 31's
Verification of Informed Consent for haloperidol dated 6/30/2024 at 12/31/2024 were reviewed. RN 1 stated
the Verification of Informed Consent was incomplete and did not indicate the frequency of administration of
haloperidol. RN 1 stated a complete Verification of Informed Consent included the frequency of the
proposed medication.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/13/2025 at 2:39 p.m., with RN 1, Resident 31's
Verification of Informed Consent for Depakote dated 6/30/2024 at 12/31/2024 were reviewed. RN 1

administration and during the six-month renewal. The DON stated the licensed nurses were responsible for
indicating the frequency of the psychotropic medication to show the details of the psychotropic medication
that were discussed with the resident's conservator. The DON stated the residents' conservator should be
aware of all aspects of the medication the resident was receiving in the facility.
3. During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 16 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 16's diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (a mental
illness that could affect thoughts, mood, and behavior), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure), and
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, a chronic condition that occurred when stomach contents leak
into the esophagus [the muscular tube through which food passed from the throat to the stomach]). The
admission Record indicated Resident 16 had a public guardian (responsible for the care of individuals who
were no longer able to make decisions or care for themselves).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 11/22/2024,

During a review of Resident 347's Zyprexa solution 1.25-40mg IM PRN informed consent, dated 2/4/2025,
the informed consent did not include the frequency and duration for the Zyprexa solution order.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 10:39 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5, LVN 5 stated the
purpose of informed consent was to get permission from public guardian before administration of
medication, to inform public guardian of medication adverse effect (an unwanted or harmful result from a
drug, treatment, or procedure), and to obtain approval from public guardian before starting psychotropic
medication. LVN 5 stated staff should include the frequency of medication on the informed consent.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/14/2025 at 8:45 a.m. with the DON, Resident 347's
Zyprexa solution 1.25mg-40mg IM PRN informed consent, dated 2/4/2025, was reviewed. The DON stated
there was no frequency of Zyprexa IM solution on the informed consent. The DON stated it was not
acceptable to have informed consent without the medication's frequency. The DON stated it was important
to include the medication frequency, so we were aware of how often to give medication and inform public
guardian.
During a review of the facility's Policy & Procedure (P&P), titled Informed Consent, approved in 3/2024, the
P&P indicated The nature of the procedures to be used in the proposed psychiatric treatment includes their
probable frequency and duration. The P&P indicated the facility would verify the resident or his/her
representative party has given informed consent to the proposed treatment prior to the administration of
psychotherapeutic and antipsychotic medications.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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 ensure the assessment entry on the Minimum Data Set
([MDS], a resident assessment tool) was accurate for one of seven sampled residents (Resident 31) when
the MDS did not indicate Resident 31 was on hypoglycemic medication (medication used to lower blood
sugar levels).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to negative affect Residents 31's plan of care and delivery of necessary care
and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 31's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 31
was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included schizophrenia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing), and hyperlipidemia (a condition with too many fats in the blood).
During a review of Resident 31's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated
11/29/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 31's cognition (process of thinking) was moderately impaired. The
MDS indicated Resident 31 was independent with eating, toileting, bathing, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 31's Order Recap Report, dated 2/1/2024 through 2/28/2025, the Order Recap
indicated to:
a. Inject Insulin Glargine (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood, can be produced by the
body or given artificially via medication) 24 units, subcutaneously (in the fat tissue), in the morning, related
to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The order was started 1/6/2023 and discontinued on 2/7/2025.
b. Inject Insulin Glargine 12 units, subcutaneously, in the morning, for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The order
was started 2/8/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 1:27 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 31's MDS, dated [DATE] was reviewed. The MDSC stated the MDS
indicated Resident 31 was not on any hypoglycemic medication. The MDSC stated Resident 31 was on
Insulin Glargine for many years and the MDS was inaccurate. The MDSC stated accurate assessment on
the MDS was important to ensure Resident 31 received the necessary care and treatment related to the
administration of Insulin Glargine.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Certifying Accuracy of the Resident
Assessment, dated 12/2024, the P&P indicated, All personnel who complete any portion of the Resident
Assessment must sign and certify the accuracy of that portion of the assessment.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a care plan for addressing the behavior of
self-isolation, for which Cymbalta (a medication used to treat depression) was administered, was developed
for one of five sampled residents (Resident 3).
This deficient practice placed Resident 3 at risk of receiving unnecessary doses of Cymbalta, and
subsequent side effects associated with psychotropic medications (a drug or other substance that affects
how the brain works) such as nausea, drowsiness, agitation, and headache.
Cross-reference F-tag F758.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 3's admitting diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (a
mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior). Resident 3 did not have diagnoses of
depression (a common mental health condition characterized by a persistent low mood, loss of interest or
pleasure in activities, and other symptoms that can significantly interfere with daily life) or anxiety (a
common emotional state characterized by feelings of unease, worry, fear, and apprehension).
During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 3 did not have cognitive impairments (problems with thinking, learning, or
memory). The MDS indicated Resident 3 did not exhibit physical or verbal behaviors (e.g., physical
aggression towards others and/or verbal aggression/threats towards others). The MDS indicated Resident 3
did not reject care. The MDS indicated Resident 3 could eat independently and was independent with
mobility while in and out of bed.
During a review of Resident 3's physician orders, dated 3/21/2024, the order indicated Resident 3 was to
receive Cymbalta 30 milligrams (mg, a unit of dose measurement), every morning, for depression
manifested by self-isolative behavior.
During an interview, on 2/13/2025 at 11:23 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Resident
3 did not have a care plan to address or treat the self-isolative behavior the Cymbalta was ordered for on
3/21/2024. The DON stated there were non-pharmacologic interventions staff could attempt to address
self-isolative behavior, prior to initiating psychotropic medications. The DON stated non-pharmacological
interventions included counseling, group activities, and outdoor fitness programs. The DON stated
non-pharmacological interventions should always be attempted before psychotropic medications, and
stated these interventions would be documented in a care plan. The DON stated Resident 3 should have a
care plan for self-isolative behavior to monitor if non-pharmacological interventions were effective in
addressing the behavior to allow for a decrease or discontinuation of the Cymbalta.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plan Guidelines, dated 12/2024, the
P&P indicated the purpose of a care plan was to identify needs and develop a comprehensive,
standardized plan of care for each resident that includes individualized & measurable objectives

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use, dated 12/2024, the P&P indicated
facility staff were to take a holistic approach to behavior management that involved a thorough assessment
of the underlying causes of behaviors and individualized person-centered non-drug and pharmaceutical
interventions. The P&P indicated psychotropic medications would be used to address behaviors only if the
nondrug approaches and interventions were attempted prior to their use.

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 Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1
documented medication administration accurately for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 56), in
accordance with professional standards.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to delay Resident 56 in reaching her care goals due to the documentation of
medication that was not given.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 56's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 56 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 56's
admitting diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and
behavior).
During a review of Resident 56's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/13/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 56 did not have cognitive impairments (problems with thinking, learning, or
memory). The MDS indicated Resident 56 was independent to eat, and independent with mobility.
During a review of Resident 56's physician order, dated 10/14/2024, the order indicated Resident 56 was to
receive 0.25 milligrams (mg, a unit of measuring medication dosage) of Ozempic (a prescription injectable
medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus [a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing] in adults) in the morning every 7 days.
During a review of Resident 56's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 2/1/2025 to 2/28/2025,
the MAR indicated Resident 56 received scheduled weekly doses of Ozempic on 2/4/2025 and 2/11/2025.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/12/2025 at 11:36 a.m., of the South Station Medication
Cart, with LVN 2 Resident 56's Ozempic injection pen was observed. LVN 2 stated the Ozempic injection
pen was opened 11/5/2024 and stated the injection pen was empty.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/12/2025 at 11:39 a.m., of the South Station Medication
fridge, with LVN 2, a sealed and unopened Ozempic injection pen was observed. LVN 2 stated the Ozempic
injection pen belonged to Resident 56 and was sealed and unused.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/12/2025 at 1:04 p.m., of the South Station Medication
Cart, with LVN 1, Resident 56's Ozempic injection pen was observed. LVN 1 stated the Ozempic injection
pen in the cart was opened 2/12/2025 but was dated as opened on 2/11/2025. LVN 1 stated she
administered Resident 56's Ozempic dose on 2/12/2025 (1 day after the scheduled dose). LVN 1 stated
Resident 56 originally refused the medication, then changed her mind and later agreed to receive the
scheduled dose. LVN 1 stated she forgot to administer the dose after Resident 56 changed her mind.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/12/2025 at 1:07 p.m., with LVN 1, Resident 56's MAR
dated 2/1/2025 to 2/28/2025 was reviewed. LVN 1 stated the MAR indicated Resident 56's Ozempic dose
was ordered for and documented as administered on 2/11/2025. LVN 1 stated Resident 56's

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 quality of care was provided for two of
three sampled residents (Residents 31 and 16) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Clarify the monitoring of Resident 31's blood glucose (amount of sugar in the blood) prior to the
administration of Insulin Glargine (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood, can be produced
by the body or given artificially via medication).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 31's blood glucose being unmonitored prior to being
administered Insulin Glargine on 2/8/2025, 2/9/2025, 2/10/2025, 2/11/2025, and 2/12/2025. This deficient
practice also had the potential to result in Resident 31 becoming hypoglycemic (a condition when the blood
sugar level drops too low) and symptomatic with dizziness, shakiness, and confusion.
2. Implement Resident 16's physician order for wound treatment to the right scalp.
This deficient practice had the potential to increase the risk of infection for Resident 16, and placed the
resident at risk for fever, pain, and worsening skin condition.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 31's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 31
was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), type 2 diabetes
mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and
hyperlipidemia (a condition with too many fats in the blood).
During a review of Resident 31's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated
11/29/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 31's cognition (process of thinking) was moderately impaired. The
MDS indicated Resident 31 was independent with eating, toileting, bathing, and dressing. The MDS
indicated Resident 31 was receiving hypoglycemic medication (medication used to lower blood sugar
levels).
During a review of Resident 31's Order Recap Report, dated 2/1/2024 through 2/28/2025, the Order Recap
indicated to:
a. Inject Insulin Glargine (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood, can be produced by the
body or given artificially via medication) 24 units (unit of measurement), subcutaneously (in the fat tissue),
in the morning, related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The order recap indicated the order was started
1/6/2023 and discontinued on 2/7/2025.
b. Inject Insulin Glargine 12 units, subcutaneously, in the morning, for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The order
recap indicated the order was started 2/8/2025.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 11:08 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated prior
to administering Insulin Glargine to a resident, the licensed nurse was responsible for checking the
resident's blood glucose. LVN 1 stated after checking the resident's blood glucose, Insulin Glargine would
immediately be administered.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 11:10 a.m., with LVN 1, Resident 31's
Medication Administration Record ([MAR], a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to
document medications and treatments given to a resident), dated 2/1/2025 through 2/28/2025, was
reviewed. LVN 1 stated Resident 31's order for Insulin Glargine was decreased from 24 units to 12 units on
2/8/2025. LVN 1 stated the MAR did not prompt LVN 1 to check Resident 31's blood glucose, on 2/8/2025,
2/9/2025, 2/10/2025, 2/11/2025, and 2/12/2025, prior to administering 12 units of Insulin Glargine. LVN 1
stated when Resident 31's Insulin Glargine order was changed, the option to check Resident 31's blood
glucose was not included. LVN 1 stated when Resident 31 was receiving 24 units of Insulin Glargine, the
MAR always prompted the licensed nurse to check Resident 31's blood glucose level. LVN 1 stated she
was confused why Resident 31's order did not include blood glucose monitoring.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 11:15 a.m., with LVN 1, Resident 31's
Blood Sugars, dated 2/1/2025 through 2/13/2025 were reviewed. LVN 1 stated Resident 31's Insulin
Glargine was scheduled for administration at 8 a.m. LVN 1 stated the Blood Sugars did not indicate
Resident 31's blood glucose was checked on 2/8/2025, 2/9/2025, 2/10/2025, 2/11/2025, and 2/12/2025
between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 11:18 a.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 31's order for Insulin
Glargine should have been clarified with Resident 31's physician because the order did not include blood
glucose monitoring prior to administering Insulin Glargine. LVN 1 stated Resident 31's order for Insulin
Glargine should have been clarified on 2/8/2025 prior to the first administration. LVN 1 stated Insulin
Glargine affected Resident 31's blood glucose over a long period of time, however, checking Resident 31's
blood glucose on administration was still important. LVN 1 stated if Resident 31's blood glucose was low
(normal blood glucose level between 70 milligrams [mg, unit of measurement] per deciliter [dL, unit of
measurement] [mg/dL] and 100 mg/dL), administering medication that decreased blood glucose could be
very harmful. LVN 1 stated Resident 31 could experience hypoglycemic symptoms such as shakiness,
dizziness, and confusion.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Insulin Administration, revised 10/2019,
the P&P indicated, [The purpose of the policy is to] provide guidelines for the safe administration of insulin
to residents with diabetes . The nurse shall notify the Director of Nursing Services and Attending Physician
of any discrepancies, before giving the insulin.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Physician's (Prescriber's) Orders, revised 12/2022, the P&P
indicated, Incomplete, unreadable, ambiguous, or confusing orders will be clarified with the prescriber prior
to medication administration by the nurse or prior to pharmacy dispensing.
2. During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 16 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 16's diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (a mental
illness that could affect thoughts, mood, and behavior), diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure), and
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD, a chronic condition that occurred when stomach contents leak
into the esophagus [the muscular tube through which food passed from the throat to the stomach]). The
admission Record indicated Resident 16 had a public guardian (responsible for the care of individuals who
were no longer able to make decisions or care for themselves).
During a review of Resident 16's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 16 had intact cognitive
skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was independent with eating, toileting
hygiene, showering/bathing self, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and walking. The MDS indicated

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to conduct an Interdisciplinary Care Team (IDT, a
group of healthcare professionals who worked together to provide care for residents in a nursing home)
conference after a witnessed fall on 12/19/2024 for one of seven residents (Resident 112).
This deficient practice had the potential to increase the possibility of recurrent falls for Resident 112.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 112's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 112 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 112's diagnoses included schizophrenia (a mental illness that
was characterized by disturbances in thought), insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep), and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD - a disorder in which a person had difficulty recovering after
experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event). The admission Record indicated Resident 112 had a public
guardian (responsible for the care of individuals who were no longer able to make decisions or care for
themselves).
During a review of Resident 112's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 112 had intact cognitive
skills for daily decision making (ability to think, remember and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 112
was independent (resident completed the activity by himself without assistance from a helper) with eating,
toileting hygiene, showering/bathing self, and all mobility while in and out of bed. The MDS indicated
Resident 112 required setup assistance with oral hygiene and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 112 experienced hallucinations (a false perception of a sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch that
seems real but was not), delusions (having false or unrealistic beliefs), and disorganized thinking (a
symptom of some mental health disorders that made it difficult to think clearly and logically). The MDS
indicated Resident 112 reported it was very important to have family or a close friend involved in
discussions about Resident 112's care while in the facility.
During a review of Resident 112's Change in Condition (COC) Evaluation form, dated 12/19/2024, the COC
indicated on 12/19/2024 at approximately 7:45 a.m., Resident 112 had a witnessed fall while walking to the
dining room for breakfast because he lost balance.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/14/2025 at 8:45 a.m. with the DON, Resident 112's
IDT records, dated from 7/7/2024 to 12/31/2024, was reviewed. The DON stated there was no IDT
conference conducted for the fall on 12/19/2024. The DON stated the facility conducted an IDT conference
to find out what exactly happened to the resident, the cause of the incident, and the contributing factors to
the incident. The DON stated the IDT normally happened within 7 days of an incident to prevent recurrence
of the incident.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/14/2025 at 8:45 a.m. with the DON, the facility's
Policy & Procedure (P&P), titled Fall Management System, approved in 4/2023, was reviewed. The P&P
indicated When a resident sustains a fall . The investigation and appropriate interventions will be initiated at
the time of the fall and reviewed by Nursing Management following the next morning stand-up meeting and
QA (quality assurance, a system that evaluated and improved patient care) Meeting. The DON stated
facility did not have a specific policy stating when the IDT conference should

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered as
ordered for two of 18 sampled residents (Resident 56 and Resident 49) when:
1. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 administered five doses of Ozempic (a prescription injectable
medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus [DM, a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing] in adults) to Resident 56 from an Ozempic injection pen that was 35 days
beyond its use by date.
2. LVN 1 administered Metformin (a medication used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by DM) to
Resident 49 greater than one hour before the scheduled administration time.
These failures created the potential for Resident 56 to not achieve the desired weight loss the Ozempic was
indicated for, due to decreased effectiveness of the expired medication.
These failures also created the potential for Resident 49 to sustain gastric distress (a group of
uncomfortable symptoms related to the digestive system, typically characterized by abdominal pain,
nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea) related to the administration of Metformin on an empty stomach.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 56's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 56 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 56's
admitting diagnoses included obesity (a chronic condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of
body fat).
During a review of Resident 56's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated [DATE], the
MDS indicated Resident 56 did not have cognitive impairments (problems with thinking, learning, or
memory). The MDS indicated Resident 56 was independent to eat, and independent with mobility.
During a review of Resident 56's physician order, dated [DATE], the order indicated Resident 56 was to
receive 0.25 milligrams (mg, a unit of measuring medication dosage) of Ozempic every seven days for
obesity.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on [DATE] at 11:36 a.m., of the North Station Medication
Cart, with LVN 2, Resident 56's Ozempic injection pen was observed. LVN 2 stated the Ozempic injection
pen was opened [DATE] and stated the injection pen was empty. LVN 2 stated the Ozempic injection pen
originally contained enough medication for eight administrations. LVN 2 stated there were no other Ozempic
injection pens indicated for Resident 56 in the cart.
During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 11:39 a.m., of the North Station medication
storage room refrigerator, with LVN 2, a sealed Ozempic injection pen was observed. LVN 2 stated the
Ozempic injection pen belonged to Resident 56 and had not been opened or used.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on [DATE] at 1:04 p.m., with LVN 1, Resident 56's Ozempic
injection pen, with open date [DATE], was observed. LVN 1 stated the packaging indicated the

injection pen was to be discarded 56 days after opening. LVN 1 stated the injection pen was opened on
[DATE], and the injection pen should have been discarded on [DATE]. LVN 2 stated she used Resident 56's
new Ozempic injection pen from the South Station refrigerator to administer Resident 56's Ozempic dose
on [DATE].
During a review of Resident 56's MAR, dated [DATE] to [DATE], the MAR indicated Resident 56 received
four administrations of Ozempic on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE] from the expired Ozempic injection
pen opened [DATE].
During a review of Resident 56's MAR, dated [DATE] to [DATE], the MAR indicated Resident 56 received
one administration of Ozempic on [DATE] from the expired Ozempic injection pen opened [DATE].
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:54 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
Ozempic injection pen, including any unused doses, were to be discarded after 56 days. The DON stated
licensed nursing staff should not administer medication from an injection pen past its use by date. The DON
stated a new injection pen should be opened and used. The DON stated using an Ozempic injection pen
beyond its use by date created the potential for complications. The DON stated the medication could have
lost its potency (the intensity of effect produced for a given drug dose). The DON stated Resident 56's
Ozempic was indicated for obesity, and stated administration of Ozempic beyond its use by date could
result in Resident 56 not having the desired outcome of weight loss.
2. During a review of Resident 49's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 49 was
admitted on [DATE]. Resident 49's admitting diagnoses included DM.
During a review of Resident 49's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 49 did not have cognitive
impairments. The MDS indicated Resident 49 was independent to eat, and independent with mobility.
During a review of Resident 49's physician order, dated [DATE], the order indicated Resident 49 was to
receive 1000 mg of Metformin two times a day with meals or immediately after meals.
During a review of Resident 49's MAR, dated [DATE] to [DATE], the MAR indicated Resident 49 was to
receive two scheduled Metformin doses at 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. every day.
During an observation on [DATE] at 4:25 p.m., at the North Nurse's Station, LVN 1 was observed
administering 1000 mg of Metformin to Resident 49. Resident 49 took the medication with a cup of water.
During an interview on [DATE] a 9:49 a.m., with the DON, the DON stated medications were to be
administered at the ordered time but could also be administered up to one hour before or one hour after the
ordered time. The DON stated the earliest time Resident 49's scheduled 6:00 p.m. Metformin dose could be
administered was 5:00 p.m. The DON stated the Metformin administration on [DATE], at 4:25 p.m., was too
early and not acceptable. The DON stated dinner was not served until 5:00 p.m., and the Metformin should
have been administered at 5:00 p.m. with dinner, or immediately after Resident 49 ate dinner. The DON
stated administration of Metformin with an empty stomach could cause avoidable gastric distress.
During a review of the facility's job description for a LVN, titled Charge Nurse Job Description, undated, the
job description indicated LVNs were to prepare and administer medications as ordered by the physician.
The job description also indicated LVNs were to dispose of drugs as required, and in

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sampled residents (Resident 3 and
Resident 31) were free from unnecessary medications when:
1. Staff failed to monitor for the presence of self-isolating behaviors for Resident 3, and ensure a gradual
dose reduction (GDR, stepwise tapering of a medication dose) was attempted for her Cymbalta (a
medication used to treat depression and anxiety), which was initiated in March 2024.
2. Staff failed to provide behavior manifestations for hallucinations of Resident 31's use of haloperidol (an
antipsychotic medication [a medication that affects the mind, emotions, and behavior]).
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 3 to suffer unwanted adverse effects from
continued administration of Cymbalta including excessive sedation, heart problems, and tremors
(involuntary, rhythmic shaking movements that can affect various parts of the body, such as the hands,
arms, legs, head, or voice), resulted in the facility indicating the use of haloperidol to treat only Resident
31's diagnosis and not behaviors of schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in
thought) and had the potential to result in the licensed nurses being to monitor Resident 31's behaviors
related to schizophrenia.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 3
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 3's admitting diagnoses included schizoaffective disorder (a
mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior). Resident 3 did not have diagnoses of
depression or anxiety.
During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 3 did not have cognitive impairments (problems with thinking, learning, or
memory). The MDS indicated Resident 3 did not exhibit physical or verbal behaviors (e.g., physical
aggression towards others and/or verbal aggression/threats towards others). The MDS indicated Resident 3
did not reject care. The MDS indicated Resident 3 was independent with most activities of daily living
(ADLs, activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily) and mobility while in and
out of bed.
During a review of Resident 3's physician orders, dated 3/21/2024, the order indicated Resident 3 was to
receive Cymbalta 30 milligrams (mg, a unit of dose measurement) every morning for depression manifested
by self-isolative behavior.
During a review of Resident 3's Psychotropic Monthly Summary assessments, dated 6/1/2024, 9/2/2024,
12/1/2024, and 1/2/2025, the assessments indicated Resident 3 was assessed for her use of Cymbalta for
depression, for the previous months. The assessments indicated Resident 3 did not exhibit any depression
for the months of 5/2024, 8/2024, 11/2024.
During a review of Resident 3's Psychotropic Monthly Summary assessments, there were no documented
assessments for the months of 3/2024, 4/2024, 7/2024, 9/2024, or 10/2024.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/13/2025 at 11:23 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 3's physician orders and Psychotropic Monthly Summaries dated 3/2024 to current, were
reviewed. The DON stated the Psychotropic Monthly Summaries were based on the resident's behaviors
from the prior month, and stated it was based on monitoring conducted by staff. The DON stated there was
no documentation in Resident 3's electronic medical record (EMR) that indicated staff were monitoring
Resident 3 for depression or self-isolation. The DON stated the current documentation present in Resident
3's EMR indicated she was participating in group meetings and activities and was not displaying
self-isolative behaviors, and did not indicate a continued need for Cymbalta. The DON stated if the behavior
the medication was ordered for was not present, a GDR should be completed to ensure the medication was
discontinued if no longer needed. The DON stated a GDR had not been attempted since Resident 3's
Cymbalta was started in 3/2024. The DON stated that prolonged administration of Cymbalta, if no longer
indicated, could cause Resident 3 to experience unwanted side effects including excessive sedation, heart
problems, and tremors.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Psychotropic Medication Use, dated
12/2024, the P&P indicated all ordered psychotropic medications (drugs that alter mood, thoughts,
emotions, and behavior) were to be used to treat behaviors, and there must be a clinical indication. The
P&P indicated the psychotropic medication should be used at the lowest dose possible to achieve the
desired effect. The P&P indicated all residents on psychotropic medications were to be monitored for their
efficacy. The P&P indicated staff were to monitor the resident's behavior for residents receiving
psychotropic medications.
2. During a review of Resident 31's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 31 was initially admitted
to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included schizophrenia,
type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), and hyperlipidemia (a condition with too many fats in the blood).
During a review of Resident 31's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 31's cognition (process
of thinking) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 31 had hallucinations (when an
individual sees, hears, smells, tastes, or feels something that is not there) and delusions (an unshakable
belief in something that is untrue). The MDS indicated Resident 31 was independent with eating, toileting,
bathing, and dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 31 took an antipsychotic medication.
During a review of Resident 31's Medication Review Report dated 2/1/2025 through 2/28/2025, the
Medication Review Report indicated to inject haloperidol 450 mg, intramuscularly (into the muscle) every
four weeks on Thursday, on the day shift for schizophrenia.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 2:36 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated the resident's
physician was responsible for providing the indication of use of the psychotropic medications. RN 1 stated
indicating the manifested behaviors was important, so the licensed nurses were aware of the behaviors the
resident was being treated for. RN 1 stated Resident 31 was treated with haloperidol but without the
behavior manifested indicated, it seemed Resident 31 was being treated solely for having schizophrenia,
which was not appropriate. RN 1 stated the order should have been clarified over the years with Resident
31's physician so the licensed nurses could better monitor and care for Resident 31.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 4:08 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated psychotropic medication
were used to treat specific behaviors and symptoms manifested by a diagnosis. The DON stated a
diagnosis alone was not an appropriate indication to administer psychotropic medication. The DON stated

Resident 31's order for haloperidol was active since 1/4/2018 and was not clarified since then. The DON
stated although Resident 31 had manifested behaviors due to his schizophrenia, those specific behaviors
were not indicated on the order. The DON stated it was important to clarify the manifested behaviors that

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to dispose of medication for one of 18 sampled
residents (Resident 56) when:
1. An Ozempic (a prescription injectable medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus [DM, a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing] in adults) injection pen was kept
in the North Station medication cart beyond its use-by date of 12/31/2024.
2. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 failed to label an Ozempic injection pen with the correct open date.
These failures created the potential for Resident 56 to receive Ozempic with reduced potency and
effectiveness, possibly causing a delay in the effectiveness of the ordered therapy.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 56's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 56 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 56's
admitting diagnoses included obesity (a chronic condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of
body fat).

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 did not provide a diet that met the nutritional
needs for all facility residents by:
Residents Affected - Many
1. Not ensuring residents received a breakfast that offered a nutritional value.
2. Not ensuring a system was in place to ensure meal substitutes and alternatives provided were of equal
or nutritive value for all facility residents.
These deficient practices had the potential to impact resident's nutritional status and could result in all
residents sustaining undesired weight loss and malnutrition.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 2/13/2025 at 7:11 a.m. in the kitchen, a mc muffin sandwich without meat was
served to the residents. The mc muffin sandwich contained only scrambled eggs.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 7:20 a.m. with Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated they were
serving a vegetarian mc muffin sandwich for breakfast. The DS stated the mc muffin sandwich did not come
with meat and that made it a vegetarian sandwich.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 7:39 a.m. with Dietary [NAME] (DC) 2, DC 2 stated she was a serving
a sandwich with scrambled eggs for breakfast. DC 2 stated the sandwich was supposed to have sausage
but she did not have any sausage in the kitchen. DC 2 stated this had happened before where the kitchen
did not have any sausage for resident meals. DC 2 stated it was important to serve residents a meal that
provided a nutritious value.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 8:36 a.m. with DS, Cooks Spreadsheet,
dated 2/13/2025 was reviewed. The [NAME] Spreadsheet indicated residents had to receive a mc muffin
sandwich with sausage meat. DS stated she did not know the sandwich had to have meat. The DS stated
she was supposed to check on the food that was served to the residents but she did not. The DS stated she
did not notice the mc muffin sandwiches did not have sausage. The DS stated it was important to provide
all residents with the correct nutrition to prevent weight loss.
2. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/12/2025 at 1:27 p.m., with the Registered Dietician
(RD), the facility document titled Nutritional Breakdown, dated Winter 2024 to 2025, was reviewed. The RD
stated the document provided nutritional data for various diets (i.e., regular [no modifications], vegetarian,
low-fat, etc.), but did not indicate the nutritional data for any specific menu items, including those being
served to facility residents. The RD stated she would need to check if the facility had a nutritional analysis
available that provided nutritional data for the menus being served in the facility.
During an interview on 2/12/2025 at 2:10 p.m., with the RD, the RD stated the facility did not have a system
in place to determine the nutritional values for the menus provided to facility residents. The RD stated every
meal served had unique nutrient content, with varying levels of protein, calories, fats, and other key
nutrients. The RD stated kitchen staff were to notify her if a resident was refusing the provided meal, and
she was responsible for determining if the alternative or substitute

being offered was of similar or equal nutritive value. The RD stated there was no system in place to allow
her to do that. The RD stated the alternatives provided to residents included peanut butter sandwiches,
grilled cheese sandwiches, or a chef's salad. The RD stated she could not state the nutritional content of
those items, or if their nutritional content was sufficient to replace the planned menu items. The RD stated
all residents had daily nutritional needs and stated that she was responsible to ensure those needs were
met. The RD stated an inability to identify the nutritional content of the planned menu, and the alternatives,
created the potential for residents to sustain malnourishment and loss of muscle mass.
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 9:24 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated all
meals provided in the facility should be sufficient in meeting the residents' nutritional needs. The DON
stated that if nutritional needs were not met, it placed residents at for undesired weight loss.
During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Menu Planning, dated 2020, the P&P
indicated menus are planned to meet nutritional needs of residents in accordance with national guidelines
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Daily Food Menu Alternative, dated 2020, the P&P indicated
residents were to be provided a suitable, nourishing alternate meal after the planned, served meal has
been refused.

qualifications of having an associate's degree or higher in food service management or in hospitality, was a
certified dietary manager, certified food service manager or had national certification for food service
management and safety.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect 146 residents residing in the facility by potentially not
receiving the nutritional assistance and guidance they needed to attain their highest practicable well-being.
Findings:
During a review of the Dietary Supervisor's (DS) Food Card certificate, dated 12/5/2023, the certificate
indicated the DS was recognized for successfully completing the food Handler basic course.
During a review of the DS's school transcript, dated Spring 2025, the transcript indicated the DS was
enrolled in Introduction of food service work and Food production management.

working as the facility's dietary supervisor in December 2024. DC 1 stated the DS used to work as a cook
for the facility.
During an interview on 2/12/2025 at 1:27 p.m. with the Registered Dietician (RD), the RD stated the facility
did not have a DS but the facility had a job posting. The RD stated she was physically at the facility on
Tuesdays only and on the other days no one was in charge of the kitchen because there was no DS.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 2:08 p.m. with DS, the DS stated she was in school taking classes to
become the DS. The DS stated she had been working as the facility's DS while she was in school. The DS
stated she over saw the kitchen activities.
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 11:00 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the DS
was interim under the RD's supervision. The DON stated she did not know what education was required to
be qualified for the DS position. The DON stated the DS was not qualified to work as a DS because she
was still in school. The DON stated the RD was not at the facility everyday and when the RD was not at the
facility the DS was in charge of the kitchen and residents' dietary needs.
During a review of the facility's job description titled Director of Food Services, undated, the job description
indicated the DS must be a graduate of an accredited course in diuretic training approved by the American
Dietetic Association (academy committed to improving the nation's health and advancing the profession of

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' food preferences were
respected, alternates were provided, and food allergy was noted on the diet card (a document that listed a
resident's dietary needs, including allergies, preferences, and restrictions) for three of 29 sampled residents
(Resident 97, Resident 51, and Resident 81) when:
1. Resident 97 was not provided with an alternative lunch substitute on 2/11/2025, and Resident 97's
preference for two quesadillas for lunch and dinner was not documented timely in the medical record.
2. Resident 51's preference for a snack of fresh fruit, was documented timely in the medical record from
admission.
3. Resident 81's preference of not having beans was not honored on 2/13/2025 during lunch.
4. Resident 81's shrimp allergy was not documented on the diet card on 2/13/2025.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in Resident 97 and 81's decreased meal intake, and at
risk for weight loss and malnutrition. This deficient practice also had the potential to result in Resident 51
not being able to receive their preferred choice of a healthier snack, and lead to a delay in their desired
weight loss. This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 81's shrimp allergic reaction
(body's immune system overreacted to proteins found in shrimp) resulting in possible itching, swelling,
hives, or difficulty breathing.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:17 p.m., in the dining room, Resident 97 was observed telling
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 she did not want the tofu, and Resident 97 was observed asking LVN 3
for a cheese quesadilla. LVN 3 was observed going to the kitchen.
1. During a review of Resident 97's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 97 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 97's admitting diagnoses included anemia (a condition where
the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disorder characterized
by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and high blood pressure.
During a review of Resident 97's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/26/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 97 did not have cognitive impairments (problems with thinking, learning, or
memory). The MDS indicated Resident 97 could eat independently and was independent with mobility while
both in and out of bed.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 10:17 a.m., with Resident 97, Resident 97 stated she did not like the
meals she was currently receiving, and stated she preferred to have a cheese quesadilla for lunch and
dinner. Resident 97 stated staff only offered substitutes of either a peanut butter sandwich, grilled cheese
sandwich, or salad. Resident 97 stated she did not like those options, and stated she requested a cheese
quesadilla instead. Resident 97 stated facility staff told her a quesadilla was not an option.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:15 p.m., with Resident 97 in the dining
room, Resident 97's lunch tray was observed. Resident 97's lunch tray had a plate with tofu, sauteed
vegetables, and a scoop of white rice. Resident 97 stated she did not want to eat the tofu, stating it did not
look appetizing. Resident 97 stated she preferred to have a quesadilla instead.
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:19 p.m., in the dining room, LVN 3 was observed telling Resident
97 that the kitchen could not provide a quesadilla, and LVN 3 asked Resident 97 if she wanted a peanut
butter sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, or another salad instead. Resident 97 declined these options,
and LVN 3 was observed taking Resident 97's plate, and LVN 3 told Resident 97 she would bring her
something different from the tofu.
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:21 p.m., in the dining room, LVN 3 was observed placing a new
plate onto Resident 97's lunch tray. The new plate had sauteed vegetable and a scoop of rice. There was no
quesadilla on the plate as requested by Resident 97.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:23 p.m., with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated the only other alternatives
available to the residents were a peanut butter sandwich, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a salad. LVN 3
stated she requested for a quesadilla from the Director of Staff Development (DSD), but it was not
available.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:24 p.m., with the DSD, the DSD stated she was assisting to pass
out trays, but she did not know if quesadillas were available to residents as a substitute. The DSD directed
the surveyor to speak with the Dietary Supervisor (DS).
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:25 p.m., with the DS, the DS stated the kitchen had the ingredients
needed to make a cheese quesadilla. The DS stated the option to have a cheese quesadilla was not
included on the substitute request list, but residents could request one. The DS stated this substitution
request would need to be submitted before the lunch trays were served.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 12:36 p.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated
CNA staff were responsible for completing and submitting the substitute request form to the kitchen if a
resident requested something different from what was being served. CNA 1 stated the option for a
quesadilla was not provided to residents.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2025 at 12:18 p.m., in the dining room, Resident
97's lunch tray was observed. Resident 97 had a sandwich with two un-melted slices of cheese, and an
assortment of raw vegetables, on a plate. Resident 97 had a side of soup and a bowl of fruit in syrup.
Resident 97 stated she requested a quesadilla and did not receive one.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2025 at 2:10 p.m., with the Registered Dietician
(RD), Resident 97's lunch tray, and replacement tray provided by LVN 3, was observed. The RD stated it
was not appropriate to remove the tofu and not provide an alternative item. The RD stated she was
supposed to be notified whenever kitchen staff were making substitutions to a resident's tray to ensure that
the substitute provided was of similar or equal nutritional value. The RD stated LVN 3's actions was not
appropriate, and placed Resident 97 at risk of not having her nutrient needs met by the meal. The RD
stated this placed Resident 97 at risk for malnourishment and loss of muscle mass. The RD also stated if
the kitchen had the ingredients necessary to make an item requested by the resident, it should be prepared
and provided to the resident. The RD stated that providing residents with meals of their choice was their

not reflect Resident 97's preference to have cheese quesadillas for lunch and dinner.
During an interview on 2/13/2024 at 10:04 a.m., with Resident 97, Resident 97 stated she spoke with staff
on 2/12/2025 about her preference to have two quesadillas for lunch and dinner.

During a review of Resident 97's diet order on 2/13/2025 at 10:15 a.m., the diet order did not reflect
Resident 97's preference to have cheese quesadillas for lunch and dinner.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/2025 at 2:50 p.m., with the RD, Resident 97's diet
order was reviewed. The RD stated resident food preferences would be indicated in the resident's diet
order, and stated Resident 97's diet order did not reflect the preference for cheese quesadillas. The RD
stated she spoke with Resident 97 on 2/12/2025 about her preference cheese quesadillas for lunch and
dinner. The RD stated she would change the order after the interview.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/14/2025 at 9:24 a.m., with the Director of Nursing

(EMR) as needed and stated that if the dietary staff were aware on 2/12/2025 of Resident 97's request for
cheese quesadillas for lunch and dinner, the diet order should have been updated on 2/12/2025. The DON
stated prompt update of the EMR to reflect those preferences would ensure the kitchen staff could prepare
a meal to accommodate the preference. The DON stated that when preferences were not accommodated
or respected, and a resident was not eating, it could lead to weight loss and malnutrition. The DON also
stated that the trays provided should meet the resident's nutritional needs and stated kitchen staff should
be communicating with the RD if substitutes were requested.
During a review of the facility document titled Alternative Menu Request - Only One Alternative, undated,
the facility document indicated the alternative options available to the facility residents. The document
indicated the option of a salad, peanut butter sandwich, or grilled cheese sandwich. The document did not

During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 3:19 p.m. with the RD, the RD stated the diet card should have
resident's food allergy because it was important to not give food that resident was allergic to. The RD stated
resident might receive the food that they were allergy to and have allergic reaction if there was no allergy

stated it was not acceptable to have the diet card without the allergy information if resident had food allergy.
During a concurrent picture review and interview on 2/13/2025 at 3:19 p.m. with the DS, Resident 81's diet
card picture, dated 2/13/2025 at 1:51 p.m., was reviewed. The picture indicated the diet card did not have
Resident 81's preference of not wanting beans. The DS stated Resident 81's diet card did not indicate
shrimp allergy. The DS stated resident's food allergy needed to be on the diet card because facility did not
want to serve the food resident were allergic to. The DS stated resident might have allergic reaction, such
as itchy throat, hives, and closed throat which was life threatening. The DS stated she was responsible to
check the diet card against resident's diet list and allergy. The DS stated it was possible to wash off

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food
storage practices in the kitchen that affected 146 residents out of 146 sampled residents when:
Residents Affected - Many
1. The walk -in refrigerator contained lettuce with no in date (the date when the food was placed in the
refrigerator), no use by date (date the food item must be consumed by) and cheese with no use by date.
2. The dry storage room did not have a thermometer to monitor room temperature.
3. The walk-in refrigerator had three bags of expired spinach.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination
(transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to food borne illnesses in all
residents who received food from the kitchen.
Findings:
During the initial kitchen tour observation on 2/11/2025 at 8:31 a.m., the walk-in refrigerator was observed
with a bag of cheese without a use by date, bags of spinach that were expired and lettuce that was not
labeled and undated.
During the initial kitchen tour observation on 2/11/2025 at 8:44 a.m., in the dry storage room, the storage
room did not have a thermometer.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 8:51 a.m. with Dietary cook (DC) 1, in the dry storage room, DC 1
stated there must be a thermometer in the dry storage room, but she could not find it. DC 1 stated when the
dietary staff added new food items into storage room, they misplaced it. DC 1 stated it was important to
have a thermometer in the dry storage room to monitor temperatures daily and without a thermometer there
was no way of knowing if temperature was within the required temperature range.
During an interview on 2/11/2025 at 8:59 a.m. with DC 1, DC 1 stated the spinach bags were expired and
should not be in the refrigerator. DC 1 stated the cheese should have a use by date and the lettuce should
be labeled with the correct dates. DC 1 stated all food items placed in the refrigerator should have an in
date and a use by date to inform all staff if food item was still good to be used. DC 1 stated it was important
to date all food items to inform staff if food item was safe to consume.
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 7:49 a.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated all food that
goes into a refrigerator must be dated with an in date and a use by date to prevent residents from getting
sick. The DS stated if food items were not labeled, they could potentially serve old food to residents.
During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Dry Storage Areas, dated 12/2024, the P&P
indicated storeroom temperature should be 50 degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit ([F], scale for
temperature). The P&P indicated a thermometer must be present in the storeroom and storeroom must be
monitored on a regular basis.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents' (Resident 21)
conservator (a person who has been appointed by the court to make decisions for another person who is
deemed incompetent) understood the Arbitration Agreement (an agreement between the facility and the
resident where they would resolve any disputes through a neutral person rather than going to court) in a
language Conservator 1 understood.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in Conservator 1 not understanding what entering a binding Arbitration
Agreement meant.

was independent with eating, toileting, bathing, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 21's Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement, dated 7/15/2024, the
Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement indicated Conservator 1 signed and entered the binding agreement
on behalf of Resident 21. The Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement was in English.
During an interview on 2/12/2025 at 4:48 p.m., with Conservator 1, Conservator 1 stated her primary
language was Spanish and paperwork from the facility was given to her in English. Conservator 1 stated
she spoke very little English and was unable to explain what arbitration was.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 8:30 a.m., with the Admissions Coordinator (AC), the AC stated the
facility only offered the Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement in English. The AC stated if a resident or
their conservator's primary language of Spanish, a translator would explain the Resident-Facility Arbitration
Agreement to them in Spanish. The AC stated the facility should have the Resident-Facility Arbitration
Agreement in different languages to ensure the resident and their conservator could read and understand
the contract before deciding to enter the binding Arbitration Agreement. The AC stated although the
contract was translated in Spanish to Conservator 1, if Conservator 1 wanted to refer back to the contract,
which was in English, Conservator 1 would not be able to have a full understanding of the Arbitration
Agreement.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0848
Provide a neutral and fair arbitration process and agree to arbitrator and venue.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to include the selection of a venue that was
convenient to both parties in the Arbitration Agreement (an agreement between the facility and the resident
where they would resolve any disputes through a neutral person rather than going to court).
Residents Affected - Many
This deficient practice had the potential to cause bias in venue selection process for residents who enter
into a binding arbitration agreement and want to resolve a dispute.
Findings:
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/13/1015 at 12:57 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM),
the facility's Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement, undated, was reviewed. The ADM stated the facility
had updated the Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement to indicate a section for the selection of a venue
that was convenient to both parties, however, the Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement currently utilized
was not the updated version. The ADM stated the facility's administration was responsible for providing the
updated Resident-Facility Arbitration Agreement to the Admissions Coordinator (AC), who would review the
contract with the resident and their conservator (a person who has been appointed by the court to make
decisions for another person who is deemed incompetent). The ADM stated the residents and their
conservators who signed on their behalf were given the wrong version of the Resident-Facility Arbitration
Agreement.

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 follow its policy and procedure
(P&P) titled Water Temperature Policy For Facility Laundry and Preventative Maintenance Policy by failing
to:
Residents Affected - Many
1. Monitor the washer water temperature on 2/14/2025.
2. Clean the dyer lint trap (a mesh filter located inside a dryer that caught lint and fabric fibers from clothes
during the drying cycle) on 2/14/2025.
This deficient practice had the potential to increase the risk of infection which could increase the morbidity
(the amount of disease in a population) and mortality (the state of being subject to death) among 146
residents residing in the facility.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2025 at 9:21 a.m. with the Maintenance
Supervisor (MS), in the facility's laundry room, there were no monitors on the washer indicating the water
temperature. The MS stated the water temperature needed to be between 125-165 degrees Fahrenheit
(°F, a measurement of temperature). The MS stated the facility was unable to read the water
temperature of the washers because the monitor was broken for the past few days. The MS stated staff
checked the water temperature by feeling how hot the outside of the washer viewing glasses was, and the
chlorine (a disinfectant that killed germs in water) in the washing solution also disinfected the linen. The MS
stated they ordered the new monitors for the washer and waiting for the delivery. The MS stated staff were
not certain if the linen was getting cleaned or disinfected properly when they did not know the water
temperature.
2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2025 at 9:40 a.m. with the MS, in the facility's
laundry room, the dryer lint trap had lint. The MS stated staff were supposed to remove the dryer lint twice a
shift, starting with the morning shift at 5:30 a.m.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/14/2025 at 9:42 a.m. with the MS, in the facility's
laundry room, the dryer lint removal log, dated 2/2025, was reviewed. The log indicated no documentation
on the dryer lint removal on 2/14/2025 at 7 a.m. nor at 9 a.m. The log further indicated staff were to remove
lint from the lint trap after every 3rd load or 2 hours of operation per manufacturer requirements. The MS
stated staff were supposed to clean the dryer lint trap at 9 a.m. but it was not done. The MS stated the risk
was fire, and the dryer temperature would drop and affect the linen sanitizing process. The MS stated if the
linen was not dry enough, staff would double dry the linen to make sure they were dry.
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 9:59 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated
the dryer might not kill all the bacteria and viruses in the linen if the dryer lint trap was not clean. The IPN
stated staff were unsure if the linen were cleaned properly nor if the bacteria was killed when the washer
water temperature was not monitored. The IPN stated the linen might not be clean and cause infection
among residents. The IPN stated residents might experience signs and symptoms of sickness and cold with
cough.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Provide at least one room set aside to use as a resident dining room and for activities, that is a good size,
with good lighting, air flow and furniture.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accommodate residents in the
dining room during mealtimes by not ensuring:
Residents Affected - Many
1. The dining room offered enough space for all residents to sit down at the same time for mealtime.
2. Residents were sent to not their rooms to wait until a seat became available.
3. Residents were asked to form a line to wait for a seat to become available.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident's self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:10 p.m., in the dining room, the dining room was observed
having 40 chairs.
During an observation on 2/11/2025 at 12:22 p.m., in the dining room, residents were observed forming a
line at the entrance of the dining room. Residents were in line waiting for a seat to become available.
During an observation on 2/12/2025 at 12:07 p.m., in the dining room, an identified resident walked into the
dining room, looked around the room for a place to sit and remained standing in the middle of the dining
room because he could not find an empty seat. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 asked the resident to
go stand by the door until there was an available seat for the resident to use.
During an observation on 2/13/2025 at 1216 p.m., in the dining room, an unidentified resident was
observed entering the dining room but could not find an available seat. CNA 3 told the resident to go to
back to their room and he (CNA 3) would call the resident when there was an available chair. The resident
stood standing in the middle of the dining room looking around at all seated residents. CNA 3 told resident
again to go back to her room and the resident left the dining room.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 12:18 p.m. with CNA 3, in the dining room, CNA 3 stated the dining
room did not have enough space for all residents to sit down and eat together. CNA 3 stated residents must
wait until there was an available chair for them. CNA 3 stated residents must wait against the wall while the
other residents seated were eating. CNA 3 stated the dining room did not have enough chairs for all the
residents and that was the reason why residents had to wait to eat.
During an interview on 2/14/2025 at 10:35 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
north side of the facility housed 50 residents and the dining room had 40 chairs to accommodate residents
during mealtimes. The DON stated staff sent residents back to their rooms to wait for a seat because the
facility's dining room could not accommodate all residents. The DON stated it was an acceptable practice to
send residents back to their rooms or have them wait in line because they could not accommodate all the
residents. The DON stated this practice would make residents feel bad because they were sent away and
had to wait to eat.
