The label on the bottle indicated to refrigerate after opening.During an observation on 7/22/2025 at 2:33 p.m., the bottle of the opened prune juice remained on Resident 63's nightstand. During a review of Resident 63's Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 63 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diverticulosis (a condition where small pouches form in the lining of the colon and push outward through weak spots in the intestinal wall), and paraplegia (loss of movement and/or sensation, to some degree, of the legs).During a review of Resident 63's History and Physical (H&P) dated 4/16/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 63 did not have the ability to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 63's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 6/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 63 was cognitively intact (ability to understand, remember, and learn) and did not have impaired movement of the upper and lower body (related to the arms and legs).During an interview on 7/24/2025 at 3:23 p.m., the Activities Director (AD) stated the facility had a refrigerator to store residents' food. The AD stated the nursing and activities staff provided education on storing personal food items in the refrigerator because sometimes the residents did not want their food items to be stored in the refrigerator or did not want their perishable food items to be thrown away. The AD stated it was important to store perishable food items in the refrigerator for the residents to avoid residents from getting sick. During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/24/2025 at 3:40 p.m. with the AD and Resident 63, the AD looked at the bottle of prune juice on Resident 63's nightstand and stated the label on it indicated to refrigerate the bottle after opening. Resident 63 stated his family brought that in for him and the bottle had been there for almost two weeks now. The AD stated it was important to store the bottle as labeled by the manufacturer to avoid illness caused by the food going bad.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Foods Brought by Family/Visitors, dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated perishable foods were stored in re-sealable containers with tightly fitting lids in a refrigerator and potentially hazardous foods that were left out for the resident without a source of heat or refrigeration longer than two hours were thrown away.

F 0912 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single resident rooms. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure seven of 63 resident rooms (Rooms 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 121, and 123) met the square footage requirement of 80 square feet (sq. ft. - unit of measurement) per resident in multiple resident rooms. This deficient practice had the potential for the residents not have enough space for activities of daily living (ADL- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) and hinder staff from providing nursing care to the residents. Findings: During an observation on 7/22-7/25/2025, during the Recertification Survey, Rooms 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 121, and 123 had adequate space, nursing, care, comfort, and privacy for the residents. The residents were observed to have enough space to move freely inside the rooms and staff had adequate space to provide care for the residents. During an interview with the facility Administrator (ADM) on 7/22/2025 at 2 p.m., the ADM stated the facility requested a room wavier this year for Rooms 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 121, and 123. The ADM stated nothing had changed, including the number of bed occupancy to the rooms.During a review of the facility's letter to request a room wavier dated 7/22/2025, the letter indicated there was reasonable privacy, closet and storage space provided in each room. The letter indicated there was sufficient room to provide nursing care and resident equipment. The letter indicated the rooms were in accordance with the special needs of all the residents as necessary. The letter indicated that all rooms had windows, and no rooms were below ground level. The letter indicated that the health and safety of each resident would not be jeopardized by the waiver. The letter indicated the room waiver would not adversely affect the resident's health and safety. The room waiver letter dated 7/22/2025 and Client Accommodation Analysis dated 7/22/2025 indicated the following:Room Sq. ft. Beds114 300 4115 300 4116 300 4117 300 4 119 300 4121 300 4123 300 2.
