During a review of Resident 27’s untitled CP dated 7/24/2025, the CP indicated Resident 27 needs
1-1 activities for social/mental stimulation. The listed Interventions indicated to assess resident for activity
preference, respect residents choices and respect resident rights.
During a record review of Resident 27’s H&P, dated 8/17/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 27 does
has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During an initial observation and interview with Resident 27 on 8/19/2025 at 10:04 AM, Resident 27 was
observed sitting at the side of bed. Resident 27 stated, “I haven’t taken a shower since three
weeks ago. I have only gotten a bed bath one time in three weeks. I do want to take a shower. I’ve
been asking for the past three weeks. I brought all my stuff and my shampoo. I want to get clean. When they
do peri-care, I don’t feel clean, the staff do it for me. I feel my hair is dirty. I’m all dirty. It
makes me feel mad and sad at the same time. I’m a very clean person; it makes me feel staff is not
listening to me.”
During initial observation and interview with Resident 136 on 8/19/2025 at 11:03 AM, Resident was
observed to be sitting up in bed watching television (TV). Resident 136 stated, “I’ve had a
bowel movement (BM) since 7:30 AM. I've been calling them and its 11:07 AM now and I'm still waiting.
I’m afraid my wounds will come back. I am very upset and embarrassed. Sometimes I wait up to
three (3) hours to get cleaned up. I call and they don’t come.”
During an interview with License Vocational Nurse (LVN9) on 8/19/2025 at 11:11 AM, LVN9 stated Resident
136 should not have been waiting since 7:30 AM to be cleaned up by staff especially if Resident 136 had a
bowel movement. LVN9 stated it was not sanitary, and it must be uncomfortable for Resident 136 to be
soiled for such a long period of time. LVN9 stated she would go look for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA4)
to have Resident 136 cleaned up. LVN9 stated that CNA4 was assigned to Resident 136 but CNA4 was
busy with another resident and that CNA4 would clean up Resident 136 when there was a chance.
During an interview with CNA4 on 8/19/2025 at 11:14 AM, CNA4 stated there were 10 residents on his
assignment for the day and someone might have answered the call light earlier and not communicated to
CNA4 that Resident 136 was soiled. CNA4 stated he was busy earlier because there was a room change.
CNA4 stated that the cnas can feel overworked and burned out at times and feel like they don’t have
time to change all the residents in their assignments in a timely manner. I am trying to get to everyone.
During a concurrent interview with CNA4 on 8/20/2025 at 11:39 AM, CNA4 stated, “I do find some of
the alert residents that have been waiting for a long period of time tell me the previous shift staff answered
the call light but never provided the care they were requesting. Sometimes when I check a resident to clean
them up, they are very soiled. They have gone urine or poo once or twice in the same diaper.” Per
CNA4, the LVNs or Charge Nurses (CN) are supposed to help, and they can also do the job.
During the same interview with CNA4 on 8/20/2025 at 11:42 AM, CNA4 stated that the residents get
showers every other day. Per CNA4 the resident should get the showers for hygiene. CNA4 stated not
giving a resident a shower when the resident requests it is not respecting the residents rights and
neglecting them. Per CNA4 it would make the resident feel bad, abandoned, neglected, self-conscious and
affect their self-esteem.

not gotten a shower. Resident 27 stated that the day before, after dinner she had a BM and felt dirty and
was itchy on her vaginal area. Resident 27 stated asked the night shift cna to clean her. Per Resident 27,
the CNA4 did clean her but did not provide a shower. Resident 27 stated that when the night shift cna
cleaned her, the cna showed Resident 27 the towel she used to clean her, and Resident 27 still had poop in
her vagina. Per Resident 27 the day shift cna (CNA4) had not cleaned her properly.
During an interview with LVN10 on 8/20/2025 at 11:56 AM, LVN10 stated “Residents have shower
schedules either for mornings or evenings, but they all get three (3) showers a week. “They should
get showers and peri-care often for hygiene and to prevent infections, skin problems. It is not acceptable to
have a resident sitting in their own filth for long periods of time. This can make them feel terrible, helpless,
neglected, sad and depressed. Feeling this way puts them at risk for depression or anxiety
withdrawal.”
During a concurrent interview with CNA4 while inside Resident 27’s room in the presence of
Resident 27 on 8/21/2025 at 8:51 AM, CNA4 stated that Resident 27 should have gotten a shower on
Monday 8/18/2025 but that CNA4 still had not been able to give Resident 27 a shower. CNA4 stated
Resident 27 would be getting a shower later on that day.

27 stated she was crying because she was so happy that she will finally get a shower today. Resident 27
stated, I have been so embarrassed. The last time my daughter visited me she told me I stink.
During an interview with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) on 8/21/2025 at 3:10pm, IPN stated every
resident is scheduled to take a shower at least two times a week. Every resident needs to be provided with
peri-care as needed. It’s not acceptable to leave a resident for long periods of time if they are soiled.
If there are no restrictions from the wound doctor it’s not acceptable to not give a resident a shower
because it’s not good hygiene. IPN also stated that not giving the residents a shower as they
requested would make the resident feel uncomfortable, embarrassed and neglected, and their self-esteem
would go down making them feel depressed. The IPN stated a resident that is left in soiled conditions for
extended periods of time can have serious infection risks, like skin tears, skin inflammation and bedsores.
The combination of moisture and bacteria from urine and feces creates an environment that can quickly
lead to skin breakdown, and other health complications.
During an interview with the DON on 8/22/2025 at 9:10 AM, the DON stated that it is not acceptable for a
resident to be in bed soiled for hours. The DON stated that as soon as a staff identify the resident needs to
be changed, the resident needs to be cleaned immediately. The DON stated, “Anyone can do it,
including an LVN or RN. This is part of the supervision and mentoring the license nurses must provide to
the cna.” The DON further stated if the resident does not receive proper ADLs including peri-care,
the resident will be uncomfortable causing them discomfort and irritating their skin.
During an interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN1) on 8/22/2025 at 1:33 PM, TN1 stated that ADLs and
timely peri-care must be provided to all residents. TN1 stated especially when residents are at risk of skin
breakdown or have wounds it’s extremely important to prevent infections. TN1 stated the main thing
is to prevent infections and provide comfort. It’s not acceptable for a

interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain written informed consent for one of five sampled
residents (Resident 7) for the use of Buspirone (an antianxiety medication use to treat anxiety [emotion
characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes]. This deficient practice had the
potential to result in Resident 7 not receiving adequate or sufficient information regarding Buspirone to

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 accommodate the residents' needs and
preferences in accordance with the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) for five of five sampled residents
(Residents 8, 41, 163,165, and 218) by failing to:a. Provide Resident 8 with an appropriate call light
consistent with Resident 8's functional capability.b. Ensure Resident 41's call light was within reach.c.
Ensure Resident 163's call light was within reach.d. Ensure Resident 165's bed was not too short causing
Resident 165's feet to rest against the footboard. e. Ensure to accommodate Resident 218's request for
room change due to noise from the roommate (Resident 209). These failures had the potential for
Residents 8, 41, 163, 165, and 218 not to receive necessary care or receive delayed services and could
affect the residents' quality of life.Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
a. During the review of Resident 8’s admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 8 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia
(a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints,
caused by a gradual loss of cartilage), and osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones, due to lack of calcium and
vitamin D).
During a review of Resident 8’s untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 10/25/2024, the CP indicated
Resident 8 was at risk for falls related to poor safety awareness. The CP interventions included for staff to
ensure the call light was within reach and to encourage Resident 8 to use it for assistance.
During a review of Resident 8’s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated
7/26/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and
process information). The MDS indicated Resident 8 was dependent (helper did all the effort, resident did
none of the effort to complete the activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body
dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation inside Resident 8’s room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:35 am
with Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2), Resident 8 was lying in bed, on Resident 8’s back.
Resident 8 had a push button (a call light that resident presses to signal a nurse or other staff member
when they need assistance) type of call light. CNA 2 stated Resident 8 had bilateral (affecting both sides)
arms and hands contracture (a stiffening/shortening at any joint, that reduces the joint’s range of
motion). CNA 2 stated Resident 8 could not push the call light button and would benefit to use the pad
sensor (a communication device used by residents in healthcare facilities to signal for assistance from
nursing staff) to call for assistance.
During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 10:01 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated
residents with limited mobility would benefit to have the pad sensor for the resident to use to call for
assistance and staff could address the resident’s needs timely.
During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:50 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated call light
should be appropriate to the resident’s functional capability for the residents to use and call for
assistance whenever help was needed.
During a review of the facility’s policy and procedures (P&P) titled, “Call System,
Residents,” dated September 2022, the P&P indicated, “Each resident is provided with a
means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her bed, from toileting/bathing facilities and from

b. During a review of Resident 41’s AR, the AR indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included acute embolism (a medical emergency caused by a sudden blockage
in a blood vessel by a traveling clot) and thrombosis (a blood clot) of unspecified deep veins of the right
lower extremity (right leg), type 2 diabetes mellitus (elevated sugar in the blood), chronic kidney disease (a
condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluid from the
blood) and major depressive disorder (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
During a review of Resident 41’s History and Physical (H&P) dated 7/29/2025, the H&P indicated
Resident 41 can raise needs known but cannot make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 41’s MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 41 was
dependent on staff for personal and toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing
and putting on/taking off footwear.
During a review of Resident 41’s untitled CP dated 8/4/2025, the CP indicated Resident 41 was high
risk for falls related to deconditioning and psychoactive drugs use. The CP interventions indicated for staff
to ensure the resident’s call light was within reach and to encourage the resident to use it if
assistance was needed.
During an observation in Resident 41’s room and interview with Resident 41 on 8/19/2025 at 9:58
AM, Resident 41 was resting in bed and the call light was hanging down from the side of the bed. Resident
41 stated Resident 41 could not reach the call light to call for assistance.
During an interview with CNA 4 on 8/20/2025 at 11:39 AM, CNA 4 stated the call light was supposed to be
next to the resident’s hands and within reach so that the resident could get hold of the staff if
assistance was needed.
During an interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN5) on 8/21/2025 at 9:18 AM, RN5 stated the
resident’s call light needed to be within reach, near the resident’s hands, to give access for
the resident to call for assistance from staff. RN5 stated, if the resident does not have the call light access
the resident could not call for help and the resident could have an accident.
During an interview with the facility’s Director of Nursing (DON) on 8/22/2025 at 8:58 AM, the DON
stated it was important for the residents to know they can access the call light at any time specially if they
feel the need to call for assistance. The DON stated, not having the call light within reach placed the
resident at a greater risk for falls, injury, and delayed medical care, which can lead to serious complications.
During a review of the facility’s P&P titled, “Answering the Call Light”, revised
September 2022, the P&P indicated to ensure timely responses to the resident’s requests and
needs.
During a review of the facility’s P&P titled, “Call System”, revised September 2022, the
P&P indicated, “Residents are provided with a means to call staff for assistance

participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure its policies and procedures (P&P) for Advance
Directive (AD, a written preference regarding treatment options, a process of communication between
individuals and their healthcare agents to understand, reflect on, discuss, and plan for future healthcare
decisions for a time when individuals are not able to make their own healthcare decisions) was
implemented for three of three sampled residents (Resident 7, 16 and 119) by failing to: a. Ensure Resident
7's AD was discussed and written information was provided to the residents and/or responsible parties.b.
Ensure Resident 16's AD was discussed and written information was provided to the residents and/or
responsible parties.c. Ensure Resident 119's Advance Directive Acknowledgement (ADA) Form was
completed upon admission.These failures had the potential to result in facility staff to provide medical
treatment and services against the residents' will.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to revise a plan of care for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 7), who sustained a fall on 8/15/2025, as indicated in the facility's policy Care Plans,
Comprehensive Person Centered. This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 7 at risk for
recurrent falls.Findings: During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident
7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included anxiety (emotion characterized by an
unpleasant state of inner turmoil), depression (a feeling of severe sadness or hopelessness) and bipolar
disorder (mental disorder with periods of depression and periods of elevated mood). During a review of
Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 7/5/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 7 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 7 needed maximum
assistance (helper did more than half the effort and lifted or held trunk or limbs) to staff for lower body
dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 7 needed moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort)
to staff for toileting hygiene, shower, upper body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. During a
review of Resident 7's Care Plan titled, Fall, initiated on 7/8/2025, the care plan did not indicate that
Resident 7 had a fall on 8/15/2025. The care plan interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep the
resident's bed in its lowest position and to place bilateral floor mats. During a review of Resident 7's Fall
Risk Evaluation (FRE- method of assessing a patient's likelihood of falling), dated 8/15/2025, the FRE
indicated Resident 7 was assessed as having had 3 or more falls in the past 3 months, had balance
problem while standing, and while walking and required use of assistive devices and had a risk for falls.
During a review of the interdisciplinary team (IDT) conference record dated 8/18/2025, the IDT record
indicated Resident 7 had a syncopal (temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood
flow to the brain) episode and laid down on the floor. The IDT record indicated the interventions provided to
Resident 7 for fall management were short term and long-term care plan for care plan for fall was updated.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 8/19/2025 at 3:48 pm, with Licensed Vocational Nurse
5 (LVN 5) of Resident 7's medical records (PointClickCare - PCC, a cloud-based software used in long-term
and post-acute care facilities and chart), LVN 5 stated Resident 7 had a fall on 8/15/2025 and the care plan
for falls was not revised. LVN 5 stated Resident 7's CP for falls needed to be revised to determine if nursing
interventions for the fall was effective or not. During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 9:52 am, with the facility
Director of Nursing (ADON), the DON stated the care plan for falls needed to be revised to address nursing
interventions for Resident 7 after a fall on 8/15/2025. The DON stated Resident's 7's care plan needed to
be revised to determine if fall interventions were effective or not to prevent future falls. During a review of
the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Comprehensive Person - Centered, revised 3/2022, the P&P
indicated the assessment of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the
residents and the residents' condition change. The P&P indicated the interdisciplinary team reviews and
updates the care plan when there has been a significant change in the residents' condition, when the
desired outcome is not met, when a resident has been readmitted to the facility from a hospital stay.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility staff members failed to provide peri-care (the cleaning
and maintenance of the perineum, the area between the anus and the genitals) for two of two sampled
residents, (Resident 136 and Resident 27), who required physical assistance with toileting hygiene (the
ability to maintain perineal hygiene, adjust clothes before and after voiding or having a bowel movement).
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 136 and Resident 27 at risk for increased risk for
infection, skin breakdown and further potential health complications.Findings:a). During a review of
Resident 136's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 136 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included but not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- is a
common lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems), type 2 diabetes (elevated sugar
in the blood), pneumonia (is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs), morbid obesity (a
person's body has a lot of extra weight) with alveolar hypoventilation (is a breathing disorder that affects
some people who have obesity). During a record review of Resident 136's History and Physical (H&P),
dated 7/17/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 136 does has the capacity to understand and make
decisions. During a review of Resident 136's Minimum Date Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated
7/22/2025, indicated Resident 136 required dependent care (helper does all of the effort, the resident does
none of the effort to complete the activity) from staff for toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self and putting
on/taking off footwear. During a review of Resident 136's Skin Check (SC) dated 7/17/2025 at 2:49 PM, the
SC indicated Resident 136 with a new skin issue the middle are of the sacrum (a triangular bone at the
base of the lower back) that was present on admission considered a pressure ulcer/injury (damage to the
skin caused by continuous pressure) Stage 3 full-thickness skin loss (a bedsore where the skin is destroyed
and extending into deeper tissue and fat) and surrounding tissue to be fragile with skin that is at risk for
breakdown. Additional care areas indicated incontinence management and mattress with pump. During a
review of Resident 136's untitled Care Plan Report (CP) dated 7/17/2025, the CP indicated Resident has
problems with Activities of Daily Living (ADL- referring to fundamental personal care tasks such as bathing,
dressing, eating, transferring, toileting, and managing continence) decline by decline in functional mobility
skills and potential for skin break down. The goal is to prevent skin breakdown but there are no ADL
maintenance or repositioning included or documented in any other CP in Resident 136's medical record
(MR). During a review of Resident 136's Wound Evaluation & Treatment Progress Note (WETPN) dated
8/14/2025, the WETPN indicated Resident 136's skin exam indicated the sacrococcyx (the tail bone located
at the base of the spine), and sacral region (lower back) wound closed. The listed recommendations
indicated aggressive offloading (refers to the practice of relieving or redistributing pressure from a specific
area of a patient's body to prevent and treat wounds, especially pressure ulcers) recommended every two
(2) hours turning; no sitting beyond two hours; frequent diaper checks and changes; Additional
recommendations indicated to turn patient every two hours and to keep skin clean and dry.b). During a
review of Resident 27's AR, the AR indicated Resident 27 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (a severe and irreversible
condition where the kidneys have lost most of their function and can no longer adequately filter waste
products from the blood), cutaneous abscess (a collection of pus under the skin) of the groin (the area
between the abdomen and the thigh), laceration with foreign body of right buttock, necrotizing fasciitis (a
bacterial infection that enters the body, most commonly through a break in the skin such as a cut, scrape,
or burn), morbid (severe)

related to surgical incision on right groin extended to right buttock. Interventions indicated to keep area
clean and dry.During a review of Resident 27's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 27 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting hygiene and
upper body dressing. Resident 27 was dependent on staff assistance for shower/bathing self and putting
on/taking off footwear and lower body dressing.During a record review of Resident 27's H&P, dated

decline, by a decline in functional mobility skills and potential for skin break down. The goal is to prevent
skin breakdown but there was no ADL maintenance or repositioning included or documented in any other
CP in Resident 27's MR.During initial observation and interview with Resident 27 on 8/19/2025 at 10:04
AM, Resident 27 was observed sitting at the side of the bed. Resident 27 stated, I want to get clean. When
they do peri-care, I don't feel clean. The staff do it for me. I'm all dirty. It makes me feel mad and sad at the
same time. I'm a very clean person; it makes me feel staff is not listening to me. During an initial
observation and interview with Resident 136 on 8/19/2025 at 11:03 AM, Resident 136 was observed to be
sitting up in bed watching television (TV). Resident 136 stated, I've had a bowel movement (BM) since 7:30
AM. I've been calling them all morning. It's 11:07 AM now and I'm still waiting. I'm afraid my wounds will
come back. I am very upset and embarrassed. Sometimes I wait up to three (3) hours to get cleaned up. I
call and they don't come. During an interview with License Vocational Nurse (LVN9) on 8/19/2025 at 11:11
AM, LVN9 stated Resident 136 should not have been waiting since 7:30 AM to be cleaned up by staff
especially if Resident 136 had a bowel movement. LVN9 stated it was not sanitary, and it must be
uncomfortable for Resident 136 to be soiled for such a long period of time. LVN9 stated she would go look
for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA4) to have Resident 136 cleaned up. LVN9 stated that CNA4 was
assigned to Resident 136 but CNA4 was busy with another resident and that CNA4 would clean up
Resident 136 when there was a chance. During an interview with CNA4 on 8/19/2025 at 11:14 AM, CNA4
stated there were 10 residents on his assignment for the day and someone might have answered the call
light earlier and not communicated to CNA4 that Resident 136 was soiled. CNA4 stated he was busy earlier
because there was a room change. CNA4 stated that the Cnas can feel overworked and burned out at
times and feel like they don't have time to change all the residents in their assignments in a timely manner.
During a concurrent interview with CNA4 on 8/20/2025 at 11:39 AM, CNA4 stated, I do find some of the
alert residents that have been waiting for a long period of time tell me the previous shift staff answered the
call light but never provided the care they were requesting. Sometimes when I check a resident to clean
them up, they are very soiled. They have gone urine or poo once or twice in the same diaper. Per CNA4, the
LVNs or Charge Nurses (CN) are supposed to help, and they can also do the job. During a concurrent
interview with Resident 27 on 8/20/2025 at 11:54 AM, Resident 27 stated that the day before, after dinner
she had a BM and felt dirty, and her vaginal area was itchy. Resident 27 stated she asked the night shift
Cna to clean her. Resident 27 stated that when the night shift Cna cleaned her vaginal area, the Cna
showed Resident 27 the towel she used to clean her and showed Resident 27 that she still had poop in her
vagina. Per Resident 27 the day shift cna (CNA4) had not cleaned her properly. During an interview with
LVN10 on 8/20/2025 at 11:56 AM, LVN10 stated The residents should get showers and peri-care often for
hygiene and to prevent infections or skin problems. It is not acceptable to have a resident sitting in their own
filth for long periods of

time. This can make them feel terrible, helpless, neglected, sad and depressed. Feeling this way puts them
at risk for depression or anxiety withdrawal. During an interview with Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) on
8/21/2025 at 3:10 PM, the IPN stated residents need to be provided with hygiene and peri-care as needed.
The IPN stated that it's not acceptable to leave a resident for long periods of time if they are soiled. Per IPN,
a resident that is left in soiled conditions for extended periods of time can have serious infection risks like
skin tears, skin inflammation and bedsores. IPN stated, The combination of moisture and bacteria from
urine and feces creates an environment that can quickly lead to skin breakdown, and other health
complications. Also, it would make the resident feel uncomfortable, embarrassed and neglected, and their
self-esteem would go down making them feel depressed. During an interview with the DON (DON) on
8/22/2025 at 9:10 AM, the DON stated that it is not acceptable for a resident to be in bed soiled for hours.
The DON stated, As soon as a staff identify the resident needs to be changed, the resident still needs to be
cleaned. Anyone can do it, including an LVN or RN. This is part of the supervision and mentoring the
license nurses must provide to the cna. Per the DON if the resident does not receive proper ADLs including
peri-care, the resident will be uncomfortable causing them discomfort and possibly suffering from irritating
skin. During an interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN1) on 8/22/2025 at 1:33 PM, TN1 stated that ADLs
and timely peri-care must be provided to all residents. TN1 stated that especially when residents are at risk
of skin breakdown or have wounds it's extremely important to prevent infections. Per TN1, the main thing is
to prevent infections and provide comfort. TN1 stated, It's not acceptable for a resident to be soiled and just
have the resident sit there from 7 AM to 11:30 AM. The residents with wounds need to be repositioned as
well. Even if the staff is busy, under no circumstances should the resident go for a long period of time
without being changed. Per TN1, if a resident is left for long periods of time soiled or not being cleaned
completely, it would make the resident feel uncomfortable, embarrassed and neglected. During a review of
the facilities Policy and Procedures (P&Ps) titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Supporting revised March
2018 indicated, Residents will be provided with care, treatment and services as appropriate to maintain or
improve their ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents who are unable to carry out
activities of daily living independently will receive the services necessary to maintain good nutrition,
grooming and personal and oral hygiene. During a review of the facilities P&P titled, Perineal Care, revised
February 2018 indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to provide cleanliness and comfort to the
resident, to prevent infections and skin irritation, and to observe the resident's skin conditions. During a
review of the facilities P&P titled, Residents Rights, revised December 2016 indicated Employees shall treat
all residents with kindness, respect and dignity. During a review of the facilities P&P titled, Quality of
Life-Dignity, revised February 2020 indicated, Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes
and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, feeling of self-worth and
self-esteem. Demeaning practices and standards of care that compromise dignity are prohibited. Staff are
expected to promote dignity and assist residents. For example, promptly responding to a resident's request
for toileting assistance.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, for five of five sampled residents, the facility failed to ensure:a.
Resident 218's blisters under the ostomy bag were assessed.b. Resident 212's LAL mattress (tiny laser
made air holes in the mattress top surface continually blowing out air causing the resident to float) was set
up accurately according to manufacturer's instruction and not on static mode.c. Resident 213's LAL
mattress was not set to static while the resident was in bed.d. The LAL mattress was set according to
Residents 41 and 136's weight. These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for altered skin
integrity and had the potential to result in the development/worsening of pressure ulcers (PU - localized,
pressure-related damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence).Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
a. A review of Resident 218’s admission Record (AR) dated 10/19/2024, the AR indicated that
Resident 218 has hemiplegia (partial paralysis) and hemiparesis (weakness or inability to move on one
side of the body) following a cerebral infarction (a condition where blood flow to the brain is interrupted,
leading to damage or death of brain cells) affecting the left non-dominant (no control over) side and
functional quadriplegia (a condition in which a person is completely immobile due to sever disability or
frailty, but without any underlying brain or spinal cord injury).

During a review of Resident 212's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 7/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 212 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident
212 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower,
upper/lower body dressing, putting on/off footwear and personal hygiene.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 212's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 8/30/2024, the OSR indicated
Resident 212 may have a low air loss mattress for skin management.
During a review of Resident 212’s Monthly Weight Report (MWR), the MWR indicated Resident 212
was 114 pounds (lbs, unit of measurement) on 8/2025.
During an observation on 8/19/2025 at 9:49 am, Resident 212 was awake and lying on bed with LAL
mattress. Resident 212’s LAL mattress was set at 320 lbs. The light was switched to
“ON” indicating on static setting.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:52 am, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4
(LVN 4), LVN 4 stated the LAL mattress was set on 320 lbs. The LVN 4 stated the LAL mattress needed to
be set up according to Resident 212’s actual weight. LVN 4 stated the light was on and it indicated
the LAL was set on static setting. The LVN 4 stated, LAL mattress needed to be on alternating mode and
not on static setting to alternate the airflow in the mattress to prevent Resident 212 from developing a
pressure injury.
During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 10:11 am with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
the LAL mattress needed to be set up based on residents actual weight for it would not serve the purpose
which to prevent from developing pressure injury if not set up based on the residents’ weight. The
DON stated, LAL should not be on static mode and needed to be on alternating mode to avoid firmness
and to take off the pressure from the residents back.
During a review of the undated user manual titled, Proactive Medical Products Operation Manual, the user
manual indicated the pressure adjust knob (adjustable by patient’s weight) to determine the patients
weight and set the control knob to that weight setting on the control unit. The manual indicated
static/alternating control, press ON to set the air mattress to static mode or OFF to set alternating pressure
mode. The manual indicated to press the static button to shift between alternating mode and static mode.
When in static mode, the static indicator will come on. The static mode will be started approximately six
minutes/on alternating pressure mode. Air cell will alternate in 10 minute cycles. In static mode, the
mattress provides a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to transfer or reposition. The static
mode will help ensure the patient does not bottom out when in a sitting position.
c. During a review of Resident 213’s admission Record (AR), the admission Record indicated
Resident 213 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included pressure ulcers of the sacral region
(bottom of the spine) and left buttock.
During a review of Resident 213’s History & Physical (H&P), dated 9/1/2024, the H&P indicated the
resident did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.

During an interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN5) on 8/21/2025 at 9:11 AM, RN5 stated that for
residents on a LALM, the settings are determined by the residents' weight. Per RN5 all license nurses must
check the settings on the LALM every shift when they are doing their initial assessments to make sure the
settings are correct by residents weight. RN5 stated that the purpose of the LALM is to prevent and assist
in pressure ulcer development. Per RN5, if the LALM is too firm, it might cause the resident to actually
develop a pressure injury or pressure ulcer. RN5 stated “If the settings aren’t set to the
resident's weight, it defeats the purpose of having the LALM instead of preventing a pressure ulcer it can
cause more harm than good by causing a pressure ulcer.”
During an interview with the IPN on 8/21/2025 at 3:03 PM, the IPN stated the settings are according to the
doctor’s order. We have placed little stickers to show depending on their weight. The CN should see
if it’s on the right setting every shift and the cnas need to be vigilant they don’t move the
settings on accident.
During an interview with the DON on 8/22/2025 at 9:07 AM, the DON stated the settings for a LALM needs
to be according to the resident's weight. Per the DON, if the settings aren’t correct, it

doesn't serve the purpose to promote wound healing. The DON stated the purpose of a LALM is to prevent
and treat pressure ulcers by redistributing pressure and managing moisture on the resident's skin.
During an interview with TN1 on 8/22/2025 at 1:33 PM, TN1 stated the LALM settings are supposed to be
per resident's body weight. Per TN1, if the LALM is too firm, it will not help promote wound healing and can
cause more harm than good. TN1 stated the mattress is supposed to distribute weight and maintain airflow
to prevent bedsores by reducing pressure on bony prominences (areas of the body where bones are close
to the skin's surface) which are areas at a higher risk for residents of developing pressure ulcers.
During an interview and record review with Medical Record (MR) staff on 8/22/2025 at 3:38 PM, the MR
confirmed that there is no specific care plan for LALM for Resident 41. The MR stated if any resident was
on LALM, there should have been a care plan including interventions in the residents' medical records.
During a record review of the facilities LALM operational manual titles, “Proactive medical
products” the operational manual indicated, “Protekt Aire 3000 pump and mattress system, is
indicated for the prevention and treatment of any and all stage pressure ulcers when used in conjunction
with a comprehensive pressure ulcer management program.” Operating instructions indicate to
determine the patient’s weight and set the control knob to that weight setting on the control unit.
During a review of the facilities P&P titled, “Quality of Life-Dignity” revised February 2020
indicated, “Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her
sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, feeling of self-worth and self-esteem.” Demeaning
practices and standards of care that compromise dignity are prohibited. Staff are expected to promote
dignity and assist residents. For example, promptly responding to a resident’s request for toileting
assistance.
During a review of the facilities P&P titled, “Accommodation of Needs” revised March 2021,
the P&P indicated, “Our facility’s environment and staff behaviors are directed toward
assisting the resident in maintaining and/or achieving safe independent functioning, dignity and
well-being.”

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure bilateral (both sides) hand rolls (a
cylindrical device used to support and position the hand) were maintained in correct position for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 125).This failure had the potential for a decline in range of motion (ROM,
measure of joint flexibility and functionality), stiffness, and contractures (a stiffening/shortening at any joint,
that reduces the joint's range of motion) for Resident 125. Findings:During a review of Resident 125's
admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 125 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a collection of blood that accumulates
between the inner layer of the skull and the surface of the brain after a head injury), surgery on the nervous
system (a complex network of organs, tissues, and cells that controls and coordinates all bodily functions),
and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, enlarged prostate gland).During a review of Resident 125's
Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 7/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 125
had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS indicated
Resident 125 was dependent (helper did all the effort) to staff with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, shower,
upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 125's Order Summary
Report (OSR), dated 7/29/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 125 had an order for Restorative Nurse
Assistant (RNA, a specialized role for certified nursing assistants that involves training in rehabilitation
skills) to apply bilateral hand rolls for up to six (6) hours, five (5) times a week and for RNA to monitor skin
integrity, pain and discomfort during or after splint (an external device used to support, protect, and
immobilize an injured body part by preventing further damage and movement) application.During a
concurrent observation inside Resident 125's room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 10:37 am with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 125 was awake, lying in bed with a hand roll on Resident 125's left
hand. LVN 1 stated Resident 125's right hand roll was on the bed and not in Resident 125's right hand. LVN
1 stated the RNA should ensure the hand rolls were in place and kept in Resident 125's right hand
throughout the duration of the treatment to provide effective treatment and prevent further
contractures.During an interview on 8/20/2025 at 3:58 pm with RNA, the RNA stated residents on RNA
services like hand rolls and/or splints should be monitored to ensure the hand rolls were properly applied
and maintained throughout the duration of the application to prevent further contracture and decrease in
mobility.During the interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:51 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
the RNA should ensure splints and hand rolls were applied properly and kept in place throughout the
duration of the application to prevent further contracture and decrease in range of motion.During a review
of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Resident Mobility and Range of Motion, revised July
2017, the P&P indicated, Resident with limited mobility will receive appropriate services, equipment and
assistance to maintain or improve mobility unless reduction in mobility is unavoidable.

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 record review, the facility failed to ensure Foley catheter (FC, a thin, flexible,
rubber or plastic tube used to drain urine from the bladder) was secured on the resident's thigh in
accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) Catheter Care, Urinary) for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 131).This failure had the potential for Resident 131 to result in catheter-related
complications.Findings:During a review of Resident 131's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated
Resident 131 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body), hemiparesis
(weakness on one side of the body affecting the face, arm, or leg), acute kidney failure (a condition where
the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to function properly) and urinary tract infection (UTI, an infection in
the bladder/urinary tract).During a review of Resident 131's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 8/9/2025,
the OSR indicated Resident 131 had an order for a FC to gravity drainage every day shift.During a review
of Resident 131's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 8/12/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 131 had an intact cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS
indicated Resident 131 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provided verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with oral hygiene,
required substantial/maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) from staff with toileting, upper
and lower body dressing and dependent (helper did all the effort) from staff with shower.During a
concurrent observation inside Resident 131's room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:38 am with Certified
Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1), Resident 131 was in bed with FC hanging on the right metal frame of the bed.
CNA 1 stated Resident 131's FC tubing did not have a securement device and was not secured on
Resident 131's thigh. CNA 1 stated the FC tubing should be secured properly on the resident's thigh to
prevent pulling during Resident 131's movement. During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:44 am with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated all residents with indwelling catheters should have a
securement device and tubing secured on the resident's thigh to hold the catheter in place and to prevent
pulling and cause injury or trauma to the resident during mobility and transfers.During a review of the
facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, revised August 2022, the P&P indicated,
Ensure the catheter remains secured with a securement device to reduce friction and movement at the
insertion site.

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, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services for a
resident with gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to
the stomach) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 75) by failing to:a. Ensure Resident 75's GT site
dressing was changed consistently with the physician's order.b. Ensure an individualized and
comprehensive GT site plan of care was developed for Resident 75.These failures had the potential for
complications related to tube feedings for Resident 75.Findings:a. During a review of Resident 75's
admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 75 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included respiratory failure (a medical condition where the lungs
are unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment),
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings
to be administered directly to the stomach).During a review of Resident 75's Order Summary Report
(OSR), dated 2/9/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 75 had a treatment order for licensed staff to clean the
mid-abdomen GT site with normal saline (NS), pat dry and cover with dry dressing daily, every day
shift.During a review of Resident 75's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated
5/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 75 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand and
process information). The MDS indicated Resident 75 was dependent (helper did all the effort) to staff with
eating, oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS
indicated Resident 75 had a feeding tube for nutrition.During a review of Resident 75's Treatment
Administration Record (TAR), dated August 2025, the TAR indicated Resident 75's GT site dressing
treatment was not completed on 8/20/2025 and 8/21/2025.During a concurrent observation inside Resident
75's room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 10:03 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1), Resident 75
was in bed, and lying on Resident 75's back. CNA 1 stated Resident 75's GT site dressing was wet and
soaked in yellow-colored liquid. CNA 1 stated CNA 1 did not know when the GT site dressing was
changed.During an interview on 8/19/2025 at 10:37 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1
stated GT site should be changed daily and as needed to keep the GT site clean and dry all the time to
prevent skin irritation and skin breakdown and cause infection on the GT site.b. During a concurrent
interview and record review of Resident 75's Care Plans on 8/20/2025 at 3:52 pm with Registered Nurse
Supervisor 3 (RN 3), RN 3 stated Resident 75 did not have a care plan developed to address Resident 75's
GT site care. RN 3 stated a care plan specific and centered on Resident 75's needs and treatment should
have been developed to ensure necessary and appropriate interventions were provided for Resident
75.During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:48 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the
GT site needed to be kept clean, dry, covered, and secured to prevent skin irritation on the surrounding
area around the GT site for infection prevention. The DON stated all residents with GT site should have a
care plan to address the needs of the resident and assist and guide the staff on how to provide care and
treatment to the residents with GT.During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) tiled,
Gastrostomy/Jejunostomy Site Care, revised October 2011, the P&P indicated, To promote cleanliness and
to protect the gastrostomy or jejunostomy site from irritation, breakdown and infection. Review the

respiratory complications and infections. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
a. During a review of Resident 9’s admission Record (AR), the admission Record indicated Resident
9 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included respiratory failure (a condition caused by
inadequate supply of oxygen and/or the inability to remove carbon dioxide from the lungs), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), and heart
failure (when the heart muscle can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen).
During a review of Resident 9’s Care Plan (CP), dated 1/18/2025, the CP indicated, Resident 9 had
COPD and the goal indicated Resident 9 would remain free of signs and symptoms of respiratory
infections.
During a review of Resident 9’s History & Physical (H&P), dated 5/12/2025, the H&P indicated the
resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 9’s Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS – a federally mandated
resident assessment tool), dated 7/14/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 9 had moderately impaired
cognition (ability to think).
During a review of Resident 9’s Medication Administration Records (MAR - a daily documentation
record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident), dated
8/1/2025 through 8/31/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 9 may be given oxygen at 2-3 liters per minute
(lpm) via NC to keep the oxygen saturation greater than 93% for shortness of breath. The MAR indicated,
Resident 9’s oxygen saturation was documented during day, evening, and night.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/19/25 at 9:04 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) while in Resident 9’s room, Resident 9 was receiving oxygen through a nasal cannula
labeled 8/4/2025 with the oxygen tubing touching the floor. LVN 2 stated Resident 9’s oxygen tubing
should not be touching the floor because it could contaminate her equipment. LVN 2 stated the oxygen
tubing was changed weekly to prevent the resident from getting an infection and if it was over a week, it
should be changed and new.
During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 12:05 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
oxygen tubing should not be touching the floor when in use and was changed once every week on Sunday.
The DON stated it was done for infection prevention and control for the resident.
During a review of the facility’s policy and procedure (P&P) titled “Departmental (Respiratory
Therapy)-Prevention of Infection,” last revised November 2011, the P&P indicated it’s
purpose was to guide prevention of infection associated with respiratory therapy tasks and equipment
among residents and staff. The P&P indicated, to review the resident’s care plan to assess for any

b. During a review of Resident 25’s admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 25 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included congestive
heart failure (CHF, a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump blood efficiently, sometimes
resulting in leg swelling), dyspnea (difficulty breathing), and pulmonary embolism (medical condition where
a blood clot travels from another part of the body, usually the legs and blocks an artery in the lungs).
During a review of Resident 25’s Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 7/6/2024, the OSR indicated
Resident 25 had an order for oxygen at 2-4 liters (L, unit of volume) via nasal cannula (NC, a thin, flexible
tube which on one end splits inti two prongs which are placed in the nostrils to deliver oxygen).
During a review of Resident 25’s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated
8/9/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 25 had intact cognition (ability to understand and process
information). The MDS indicated Resident 25 required partial/moderate assistance (helper did less than
half the effort) with toileting, shower, upper body dressing and required substantial/maximal assistance
(helper did more than half the effort) with lower body dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation inside Resident 25’s room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:14 am
with Certified Nurse Assistant 3 (CNA 3), Resident 25 was in bed with oxygen at 4 L/NC. CNA 3 stated
nasal cannula tubing was not labeled with the date when it was changed. CNA 3 stated there was no
cautionary sign of “no smoking/oxygen in use” posted outside Resident 25’s room.
CNA 3 stated the cautionary sign outside the room reminded staff, visitors and other residents that a
resident was on oxygen and a potential risk for fire.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/22/2025 at 9:42 am with Registered Nurse
Supervisor 2 (RN 2), Resident 25’s care plans were reviewed. RN 2 stated Resident 25 did not have
a care plan developed to address the resident’s chronic (long-time) use of oxygen and for the staff
to know the interventions specific for the resident.
c. During a review of Resident 122’s AR, the AR indicated Resident 122 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and
arms, usually from a spinal cord injury), diabetes mellitus (DM, a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic
lung disease causing difficulty in breathing).
During a review of Resident 122’s MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 122 had intact
cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 122 required partial/moderate assistance with oral hygiene and

During a review of Resident 122’s Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 8/11/2025, the OSR
indicated Resident 122 had an order for oxygen at 2-4 liters per minute via nasal cannula.
During a concurrent observation inside Resident 122’s room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:48 am
with CNA 1, Resident 122 was in bed with oxygen at 3.5 L via NC. CNA 1 stated nasal cannula tubing was
not labeled with the date when it was changed. CNA 1 stated there was no cautionary sign of “no
smoking/oxygen in use” posted outside Resident 122’s room. CNA 1 stated the cautionary
sign outside the room was necessary for fire precautions.
During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 9:42 am with RN 2, RN 2 stated all residents on oxygen therapy should
have the oxygen tubing change weekly and as needed and labeled with the date when it was changed to
make sure that oxygen tubing was changed to keep it clean and prevent infection. RN 2 stated all residents
on oxygen therapy should have a “no smoking/oxygen in use” sign posted outside the
residents’ room for the safety of the residents and staff in the facility.
During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 12:05 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated all
residents’ oxygen tubing should be labeled with date to know when it was changed and due to be
changed to prevent the spread of infections. The DON stated all residents on oxygen therapy should have a
“no smoking/oxygen in use” sign posted outside the residents’ rooms to alert the staff,
visitors and residents that oxygen was present in the room for the safety of everyone in the facility. The
DON stated all residents on oxygen therapy should have a care plan developed to assist and guide the staff
on how to provide care and treatment to the residents.
During a review of the facility’s policy and procedures (P&P) titled, “Oxygen
Administration,” revised October 2010, the P&P indicated, “Review the resident’s care
plan to assess for any special needs of the resident. Place a “No Smoking/Oxygen In Use”

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to manage urinary tract infection (UTI- bacteria enter the
urinary tract) symptoms and urinary pain for one of four sampled residents (Resident 58).This deficient
practice resulted in Resident 58 experiencing unrelieved pain which caused physical and emotional distress
and did not maintain the resident's highest practical physical and mental well-being. (Cross Reference
F684) Findings:During a review of Resident 58's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 58 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included pericardial effusion (buildup of fluid in the
membrane that surrounds the heart), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (elevated blood sugar levels) with chronic
kidney disease (kidneys unable to filter waste), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (blocked airflow
making it difficult to breathe). During a review of Resident 58's Physician's Order (PO) dated 9/7/24, the PO
indicated for licensed staff to administer Acetaminophen Oral Tablet 325 milligrams (mg-unit of
measurement), 2 tablets by mouth, every four hours as needed for pain management, mild pain (1-3).
During a review of Resident 58's PO dated 9/7/24, the PO indicated for licensed staff to administer
Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral tablet 300-60 mg, one tablet by mouth, every four hours as needed for pain
management for moderate to severe pain.During a review of Resident 58's History & Physical (H&P) dated
9/9/24, the H&P indicated Resident 58 had the capacity to make medical decisions.During a review of
Resident 58's Physician Orders (PO) dated 11/10/24, the PO indicated pain assessment every shift: 0-No
Pain, 1-3 mild pain,4-6 moderate pian, 7-10 severe pain.During a review of Resident 58's Minimum Data
Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 6/6/25, the MDS indicated Resident 58 was cognitively intact
(ability to understand and process thoughts), and required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting and
personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 58's short term care plan dated 7/21/25 for pain when
urinating, the CP indicated for nursing staff to notify Resident 58's physician (MD) of any changes.During a
review of Resident 58's Progress Note (PN) dated 8/18/25 at 3:40 p.m., the PN indicated Resident 58
complained of dysuria (discomfort when urinating), was treated with antibiotics last month and will check
the resident's urine again.During an interview on 8/20/25 at 8:34 a.m., Resident 58 stated Resident 58 had
pain when urinating for three weeks. Resident 58 stated Resident 58 had taken two antibiotics but Resident
58 had no relief. Resident 58 stated Resident 58 told everybody in the facility that Resident 58 still had
urinary pain, but the facility staff did not address her complaint of pain. During an interview on 8/20/25 at
3:45 p.m., Resident 58 stated Resident 58 had radiating 10/10 back pain when urinating, based on the pain
scale (0= no pain, 10=worst pain). During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/20/25 at 4:30 p.m.
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3) of Resident 58's Progress Notes (PN) dated 8/18/25, the PN
indicated Urine Analysis (UA) and Culture and Sensitivity (C&S- used to identify the specific bacteria
causing infection). LVN 3 stated the UA and C&S were not carried out. LVN 3 stated licensed staff needed
to check the physician (MD)/ Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Progress Note following a physician's
assessment. During a review of Resident 58's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with LVN 3, the EMR did
not indicate a Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR- helps team share
information) for Resident 58's complaint of dysuria noted in the MD progress note dated 8/18/25.During an
interview on 8/20/25 at 4:38 p.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated the FNP stated FNP forgot to tell the licensed
staff to do UA with CS. During an interview on 8/20/25 at 5:00 p.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated Certified Nurse
Assistants (CNA) should communicate to licensed staff any foul smell or any complaints of pain reported by
a resident to the licensed staff.During an interview on 8/20/25 at 5:20 p.m. at Resident's 58's bedside,

diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the urinary tract system) but Resident 58 was not referred
to Urology.During an interview on 8/22/25 at 10:34 a.m., with LVN 15, LVN 15 stated Resident 58 had a
history of UTI. LVN 15 stated the care plan to address pain upon urination was not revised. LVN 15 stated
the care plan was important because the care plan had interventions to manage the problem and track
actions being taken to prevent further symptoms on the resident.During a review of the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P), titled, Pain Assessment and Management, revised April 2018, the P&P indicated the pain
management program is based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and treatment of
pain, based on professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the resident's choices
related to pain management.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide residents on hemodialysis (a
treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s)
have failed) an emergency kit (E-kit, contains the main items needed in an emergency) at the bedside for
two of six sampled residents (Residents 111 and 219) in accordance with the residents' comprehensive
care plan.These failures had the potential for Residents 111 and 219 not to receive or receive delayed care
and emergency treatment from complications caused by unexpected bleeding from the hemodialysis
access site. Findings:a. During a review of Resident 111's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated
Resident 111 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included end stage renal disease (ESRD, irreversible kidney failure), congestive heart failure (CHF, a heart
disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently), and diabetes mellitus (DM, a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control).During a review of Resident 111's untitled Care Plan (CP)
dated 10/2/2024, the CP indicated Resident 111 had the potential for bleeding on the site with hemodialysis
access. The CP interventions and goals included to place a [NAME] clamp (a type of surgical hemostat
used to clamp and control bleeding from blood vessels or tissue during surgery and emergency
procedures) at bedside for management of emergency bleeding on central line access site and emergency
bleeding will be managed with immediate implementation of appropriate interventions.During a review of
Resident 111's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 6/26/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 111 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand and process interventions). The
MDS indicated Resident 111 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provided verbal cues
and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) from staff with
toileting, upper and lower body dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 111 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper did less than half the effort) from staff with shower and personal hygiene.During a review
of Resident 111's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 7/9/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 111 had a
tunneled catheter (a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a vein and tunneled under the skin) hemodialysis
access site on the right upper chest. The OSR indicated Resident 111 was scheduled for hemodialysis
every Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/19/2025 at
10:00 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1), Resident 111 was lying in bed with hemodialysis
access site on the right chest. CNA 1 stated Resident 111 did not have an E-kit at bedside. CNA 1 stated
Resident 111 needed to have an E-kit at bedside for use in case of bleeding from the dialysis access site.b.
During a review of Resident 219's AR, the AR indicated Resident 219 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included ESRD, anemia (a condition where the body
does not have enough healthy red blood cells), and dependence on hemodialysis.During a review of
Resident 219's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 219 had severely impaired cognition. The
MDS indicated Resident 219 was dependent (helper did all the effort) from staff with oral hygiene, toileting,
shower, upper and lower body dressing.During a review of Resident 219's OSR dated 7/29/2025, the OSR
indicated Resident 219 had a quinton catheter (non-tunneled catheter, large-bore, dual-lumen central
venous catheter used to provide immediate temporary access for hemodialysis) hemodialysis access site
on the left upper thigh. The OSR indicated Resident 219 was scheduled for hemodialysis every Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays.During a review of Resident 219's CP dated 8/7/2025, the CP indicated Resident
219 had the potential for bleeding from the central line site related to hemodialysis. The CP interventions

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an informed consent (voluntary
agreement to accept treatment and/or procedure after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits and
alternatives offered) was obtained before the installation of bilateral (both sides) upper half siderails
(adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars attached to the bed) for one of one sampled resident (Resident
8).This failure placed Resident 8 at risk for entrapment (an event in which a resident was caught, trapped,
or entangled in the tight spaced around the bed) and injury from the use of siderails. Findings:During the
review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 8 was initially admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia (a progressive state of
decline in mental abilities), osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by a gradual loss of
cartilage), and osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones, due to lack of calcium and vitamin D).During a review
of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 7/26/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS
indicated Resident 8 was dependent (helper did all the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the
activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal
hygiene.During a concurrent observation while inside Resident 8's room and interview on 8/19/2025 at 9:35
am with Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2), Resident 8 was lying in bed, on Resident 8's back with upper
half side rails up on both sides of the bed. CNA 2 stated Resident 8 had bilateral arms and hands
contracture (a stiffening/shortening at any joint, that reduces the joint's range of motion). CNA 2 stated
Resident 8 was dependent in all activities of daily living (ADLs) and did not have the ability to hold on to the
side rails during positioning and bed mobility.During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/20/2025
at 10 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 8's OSR and medical record (chart) were
reviewed. LVN 1 stated the OSR did not indicate Resident 8 had an order for bilateral upper half side rails
use. LVN 1 stated there was no record that an informed consent was obtained before the installation of
bilateral upper half side rails. LVN 1 stated side rails should not be installed without a doctor's order and a
signed informed consent for the safety of the residents.During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:48 am with
the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated all residents on side rail use need to have a doctor's order
and a signed informed consent obtained before the installation of side rails to make sure that resident
and/or responsible party were informed, and risks and benefits of side rail use were explained to prevent
injury to the resident and restrict the resident's bed mobility.During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails, revised August 2022, the P&P indicated, The use of bed
rails or side rails (including temporarily raising the side rails, for episodic use during care) is prohibited
unless the criteria for use of bed rails have been met, including attempts to use alternatives,
interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment, and informed consent.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide sufficient staffing, resulting in toileting and/or
incontinent care not being provided for two of three sampled residents (Residents 11 and 136) in a timely
manner. This failure had the potential to result in Residents 11and 136 experiencing skin breakdown and/or
placing the residents at risk of experiencing a urinary tract infection (UTI, an infection in any part of the
urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, or urethra). (Cross Reference F550)
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 11's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 11 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD, a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), type 2
diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar), and bipolar
disorder (a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood).
During a review of Resident 11’s History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/7/2025, the H&P indicated
Resident 11 had the capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 8/5/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 had no impairment in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS
indicated Resident 11 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for bathing, dressing, and toileting
hygiene.
During an interview on 8/19/2025 at 1:29 PM with Resident 11, Resident 11 stated Resident 11 had to
sometimes wait a long time for help from nurses (in general). Resident 11 stated Resident 11 pressed the
call light earlier in the morning of 8/19/2025 because Resident 11 needed Resident 11’s diaper
changed. Resident 11 stated Resident 11 waited so long that Resident 11 fell asleep.
During a Resident Council Meeting on 8/20/2025 at 1:54 PM, four of the eight residents present indicated
the residents had to wait “too long” for assistance from facility staff when the residents
pressed their call lights.
During an interview on 8/21/2023 at 9:23 AM with Registered Nurse 4(RN 4), RN 4 stated Station 1 was
one of the heavier stations regarding caring for residents (in general). RN 4 stated it would be beneficial if
Station 1 had another CNA in addition to the three CNAs already assigned. RN 1 stated call lights would be
answered faster if Station 1 had an additional CNA. RN 4 stated residents (in general) and family members
(in general) complained to RN 4 about waiting too long for call light responses from the staff (in general).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/21/2025 at 2:24 PM with Activities Director 1 (AD 1),
the facility’s “Resident Council Minutes (RCM),” dated 5/20/2025, 6/17/2025,
7/15/2025, and 7/30/2025 were reviewed. Each of the “RCM” documents indicated facility
staff (in general) were not answering call lights in a timely manner. AD 1 confirmed that some of the
residents (in general) who attended the monthly Resident Council Meeting had been complaining regularly
about staff (in general) not answering call lights promptly for the past six months.

During an interview on 8/22/2025 at 11:58 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated when
giving a controlled drug the nurse should document it on the MAR and they must sign the controlled drug
record to keep count of the quantity remaining and reflect the date/time of when the drug was given. The
DON stated, once the medication is removed from the medication blister pack it should be documented
timely to avoid it being forgotten. The DON stated signing off on the record was important so every
medication that was used had a record and the next shift would know when it was utilized.
During a review of the facility’s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, “Controlled
Substances,” last revised 11/2022, the P&P indicated the facility complied with all laws, regulations,
and other requirements related to handling, storage, disposal, and documentation of controlled medications
(listed as Schedule II-V of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1976). The P&P
indicated controlled substance inventory were monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential
diversion in a manner that minimizes the time between loss/diversion and detection/follow-up. The P&P
indicated the system of reconciling the receipt, dispensing and disposition of controlled substances
included medication administration records.

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 ensure one of five sampled resident (Resident
34) was free from unnecessary drugs as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure titled, Administering
Medication. This deficient practice had the potential to result in unnecessary use of Tylenol
(Acetaminophen, medicine that relieves mild to moderate pain and reduces fever). Findings:During a review
of Resident 34's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 34 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included acute kidney failure (condition characterized by a gradual loss of
kidney function over time) and heart failure (condition when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to
maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs).During a review of Resident 34's Order Summary Report
(OSR), dated 6/30/2025, indicated to administer Tylenol Oral Tablet 325 milligrams (mg, unit of
measurement), give two (2) tablet by mouth in the morning for pain. Give 30 minutes prior (before) to wound

Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 7/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 34 had intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 34 was dependent (helper does all
of the effort) to staff for toileting hygiene and shower. The MDS indicated Resident 34 needed maximum
assistance (helper did more than half the effort and lifted or held trunk or limbs) to staff for upper/lower
body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. During a medication pass observation
on 8/21/2025 at 8:33 am, Licensed Vocational Nurse 8 (LVN 8) attempted to administer 2 tablets of Tylenol
Oral Tablet 325 mg prior to wound care to Resident 34. During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 8:34 am,
Resident 34 stated I don't have any wound. I don't want to take Tylenol.During an interview on 8/21/2025 at
9:30 am, with LVN 8, the LVN 8 stated, Tylenol was discontinued now (8/21/2022) because patient
(resident) doesn't have any wound. Patient's wound was resolved.During an interview with the facility's
Director of Nursing (DON) on 8/21/2025 at 10:08 am, the facility DON stated, Resident 34 did not need
Tylenol Oral Tablet routinely because Resident 34's wound treatment was resolved. The DON stated Tylenol
Oral Tablet was ordered to administer prior to wound care and Resident 34 did not have any wound. The
facility DON stated it was unnecessary for Resident 34 to take Tylenol Oral Tablet for resident did not have
wound or did not need wound treatment. During a concurrent review of Resident 34's Skin Observation Tool
(SOT) dated 8/15/2025, and an interview with Registered Nurse 2 on 8/21/2025 at 2:05 pm, the SOT
indicated Resident 34 was seen and evaluated by the wound consultant and had an order to discontinue
treatment to the left anterior (front) lower leg wound. RN 2 stated the wound treatment was discontinued by
the wound consultant on 8/15/2025. RN 2 stated Resident 34's wound was resolved.During a concurrent
review of Resident 34's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated from 8/1/2025 to 8/31/2025, and an

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 one of four sampled residents
(Resident 118), received and was provided food that accommodated Resident 118's food preferences.This
deficient practice had the potential for Resident 118 to develop further weight loss. Findings:During a review
of Resident 118's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 118 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM II - adult onset disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red
blood cells) and muscle wasting and atrophy (partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body).During
a review of Resident 118's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 3/31/2025, the OSR indicated CCHO
(consistent controlled carbohydrate) regular texture, regular/thin consistency IDDSI (International
Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative - an international collaboration of professionals who developed a
standardized framework for labeling texture-modified foods and thickened liquids) Level 7 (foods are soft,
tender, and easy to chew) diet for Resident 118.During a review of Resident 118's Minimum Data Set (MDS
- a resident assessment tool) dated 7/7/2025, the MDS indicated, Resident 118 had intact cognition (ability
to understand). The MDS indicated Resident 118 was independent (resident completes the activity by
themselves with no assistance from a helper) for eating (the ability to use suitable utensils to bring food
and/or liquid to the mouth and swallow food and/or liquid once the meal is placed before the resident). The
MDS indicated Resident 118 had no signs and symptoms of possible swallowing disorder and was on a
therapeutic diet (specifically designed meal plan used to treat or manage a specific health condition).During
an interview on 8/20/2025 at 9:40 AM with Resident 118, Resident 118 stated, the food at the facility was
terrible. Resident 118 stated, Resident 118 had lost eighty pounds since 3/31/2025 because Resident 118
did not eat the food at the facility. Resident 118 stated, Resident 118 needed to lose weight. Resident 118
stated, Resident 118's preference was no bread and no rice, but Resident 118 was served with bread and
rice every meal.During a concurrent observation, interview, and record review on 8/21/2025 at 1:00 PM with
Resident 118 and the Dietary Supervisor (DS), at Resident 118's bedside, Resident 118's tray card (a card
used to identify a person's dietary needs and other important information for meal service, such as a
patient's diet, allergies, and dislikes placed on a resident's meal tray) was reviewed. The tray card indicated
no bread and liked green salad with tomatoes. Resident 118's meal tray had a bread roll and a small bowl
of cut up lettuce only. Resident 118 stated, Resident 118 did not like bread and requested for no bread and
the small bowl of cut up lettuce, was not a salad. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure
(P&P) titled, Resident Food Preferences, revised 7/2017, the P&P indicated the food service department
would offer a variety of foods at each scheduled meal, as well as access to nourishing snacks throughout
the day and night. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Food and Nutrition Services, revised 10/2017,
the P&P indicated, each resident was provided with nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his
or her daily nutritional and special dietary needs, taking into consideration the preferences of each resident.
The P&P indicated, reasonable efforts would be made to accommodate resident choices and preferences.
The P&P indicated, Food and Nutrition staff would inspect food trays to ensure that the correct meal was
provided to each resident.

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 each kitchen sanitization
bucket (used to sanitize surfaces in the facility kitchen) and the sink sanitization compartment used to
sanitize tray line preparation area, was maintained at the required concentration for effective sanitization by
failing to:Ensure two red buckets and the sink sanitization compartment (third compartment of the sink)
used in the kitchen for sanitation of kitchen surfaces and in food preparation areas, were maintained at the
correct concentration to maintain effectiveness to prevent cross contamination.Findings:During a
concurrent observation and interview, on 8/19/25, at 9:56 a.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), two of
four red sanitization buckets and the sanitization compartment of the kitchen sink were tested for efficacy
(ability to produce a desired or intended result). Two of the red bucket sanitizations and third sink
compartment concentrations were observed at 50 parts per million (ppm). The DS stated the red buckets
are filled from the third sink compartment. The DS stated red bucket concentration should be between
200-400ppm.During an interview, on 8/19/25, at 10 a.m., with the Registered Dietitian (RD), the RD stated
it is important for the red bucket efficacy concentration to be maintained because of the safety and health
issues of our patients, cross contamination, and we have sick people with compromised immune systems.
During a concurrent interview, the DS stated it is important because patients can get sick.During an
interview, on 8/21/25, at 9:35 a.m., with the DS, the DS stated the problem with the red sanitization buckets
was that the test strips they were using to test had expired.During a record review of the manufacturer's
guidelines, titled, Individual Sanitizer Testing Procedure, indicated the sanitization testing range should be
150-400ppm.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its infection control policy for five of
seven sampled residents (Residents 168, 175, 218, 1 and 105) by failing to ensure:a. The urine drainage
bag was not touching the floor for Resident 168b. Resident 175 oxygen tubing was not touching the floor.c.
Staff performed hand hygiene before and after taking care of Residents 218 and 1d. Resident 105's IV
tubing was not looped at the end of the same administration set and the IV ports were not left
uncovered.These deficient practices had the potential to result in infection for Residents 168, 175, 218, 1
and 105. a. During a review of Resident 168’s admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident
168 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included but not limited to fracture of neck,
injury of head, quadriplegia (a form of paralysis that affects all four limbs, plus the torso), anxiety disorder
(condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness), depression
(mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
Residents Affected - Some
During a record review of Resident 168’s History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/18/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 168 has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 168’s Minimum Date Set (MDS – a resident assessment tool),
dated 7/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 168 required dependent care (helper does all of the effort,
the resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) from staff for eating, oral, personal and toileting
hygiene, shower/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear.
During a review of Resident 168’s Order Summary (OS) dated 7/18/2025 at 4:24 PM, the OS
indicated, “(Treatment) condom catheter: Monitor placement and patency (allow for free flow) every
shift. Condom Catheter (a non-invasive urinary drainage device used primarily in males)- Medium size, May
change PRN if leakage, blockage, dislodgement (removed) or soiled for Neurogenic bladder (a condition
where the bladder muscles and nerves do not function properly due to damage) as needed.”
During an initial observation and interview of Resident 168 on 8/19/2025 at 10:53 AM, Resident 168 was
observed to be resting in bed watching tv. Resident 168’s condom catheters drainage bag (a
medical device, usually made of plastic, that collects urine) was hanging from the right side of the bed, not
covered with privacy bag and touching the floor. The privacy bag was observed hanging next to the
drainage bag.
During an interview with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) on 8/21/2025 at 3:02 PM, the IPN stated
that a urine drainage bag should not be touching the floor because the floor has bacteria and that can
cause an infection leading to more complications with the residents health.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 8/22/2025 at 9:07 AM, the DON stated the urine
drainage bag should not be touching the floor. Per the DON, the facilities infection control policies indicate
that if a urine drainage bag touches the floor, germs can enter the system, leading to a urinary tract
infection (UTI-infection in the bladder). The bag should always be kept below the level of the bladder to
prevent urine backflow and contamination, and the drainage spout or any part of the open system must not
touch the floor or other surfaces.

During a review of Resident 105’s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated
8/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 105 had an intact cognition (ability to understand and process
information). The MDS indicated Resident 105 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provided
verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and /or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) oral
and toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 105 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper did
more than half the effort) with shower, and lower body dressing.
During a concurrent observation while inside Resident 105’s room and interview on 8/19/2025 at
8:58 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 3 (CNA 3), Resident 105 was in bed on Resident 105’s back.
Resident 105 had a right upper arm peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC, a thin flexible tube
inserted into a vein in the upper arm and advanced into a larger vein in the chest near the heart) line with
two (2) uncovered ports. CNA 3 stated Resident 105’s IV tubing was looped and tucked into another
port of the same administration set.
During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:21 am with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN 1), RN 1 stated all
PICC line ports and IV line tubing should be covered with IV [NAME] lock (a standard, threaded medical
connector that provides a secure, twist-on, leak-proof connection for IV administration sets, syringes, and
catheters) cap when not in use to prevent contamination and infection.
During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 11:38 am with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated PICC line ports and IV-line tubing should not be left uncovered when not in use and loop at the end
of the same administration set for infection control.
