sitting to lying position and vice versa. The MDS indicated Resident 15 was dependent on staff to transfer
from bed to chair and vice versa.
A review of Resident 15's active physician order, dated 11/8/2023, indicated to apply lap tray (a tray with a
cushioned underside, designed to rest in a person's lap) when up in wheelchair to prevent resident from
sliding off the chair and maintain proper posture.
A review of Resident 15's care plans did not indicate a care plan was developed for the use or monitoring of
Resident 15's lap tray.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 11:26 a.m., outside of Resident 15's room, Resident 15 was
observed sitting in his wheelchair with a tray across his lap. The tray was fastened in the rear of the
wheelchair, behind the back of the seat.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 6/11/2024 at 9:25 a.m., outside of Resident 15's room,
with LVN 1 and Resident 15, LVN 1 observed Resident 15's lap tray. Resident 15's lap tray was observed
across his lap and fastened in the rear of the wheelchair. Resident 15 stated the buckle to fasten the lap
tray was behind him and he could not reach it. LVN 1 stated that if Resident 15 wanted to get up, staff
assisted him.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/11/2024 at 1:25 p.m., with RNS 1, Resident 15's
active physician orders dated 11/8/2023 and care plans were reviewed. RNS 1 stated the physician order
indicated to apply the lap tray to prevent Resident 15 from sliding off the chair. RNS 1 stated Resident 15
had a history of falls, and stated the lap tray was being used as a restraint for fall prevention. RNS 1 stated
she was not sure of the facility's policy for the use of restraints, or whether the resident needed to be
monitored. RNS 1 also stated there was no care plan for Resident 15's use of a lap tray as a restraint.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the DON, on 6/11/2024 at 2:36 p.m., Resident 15's
assessment titled Restraint - Physical, dated 9/15/2023, was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 15's
continued need for restraints was supposed to be assessed quarterly (every three months). The DON
stated the assessment dated [DATE] was the last time Resident 15's use of restraints was assessed, and
stated the facility was way overdue for the next assessment. The DON stated the assessment indicated
Resident 15's lap tray restraint was continued because Resident 15 continued to get up unassisted. The
DON stated there were less restrictive measures that staff could implement to prevent Resident 15 from
getting up unassisted and falling. The DON stated there was no documentation to indicate that less
restrictive measures had been attempted since 9/2023. The DON stated facility staff were not routinely
documenting the frequency of Resident 15's attempts to get up unassisted.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/13/2024 at 10:33 a.m., with Resident 15, in the hallway
outside of Resident 15's room, Resident 15 was observed sitting in his wheelchair in the hallway, with a lap
tray attached to the wheelchair and placed across his lap. Resident 15 stated he fell out of his wheelchair a
while ago. Resident 15 stated facility staff applied the lap tray to his wheelchair following the fall. Resident
15 stated he wanted to get up on his own but could not because of the lap tray. Resident 15 stated he
walked in the morning, but wanted to walk more, and stated he sometimes wished he could remove the
tray. Resident 15 stated he did not try to get up unassisted and stated I know I can't do it. I call for help.

policy to provide residents with an environment that was restraint free, and that the least restrictive
measures would be used if a restraint was necessary to treat a medical symptom. The P&P defined a
physical restraint as any physical or mechanical device attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the
individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom of movement including bedrails and beds against
the wall. The P&P indicated:
Residents Affected - Some
a. Alternative methods of behavioral control must be attempted and documented in the resident's medical
record before a physical restraint is used.
b. The Facility will not use restraints as needed PRN or as necessary basis.
c. Informed consent will be obtained from the resident or responsible party if a restraint will be used.
d. Restrained residents will be reviewed regularly (at a minimum of quarterly by the IDT to determine the
continued need for restraints.
e. The IDT will consider the elimination of restraints, or a less restrictive device whenever possible.
f. Bed rail use will be addressed in the same manner as any other device that has the potential to risk
movement.
g. If the Facility is utilizing bed rails, the Bed Rail Entrapment Risk Assessment will be completed by a
Licensed Nurse prior to the installation of bed rails.
h. To determine if a bed rail is being used as an enabler, the resident must be able to easily and voluntarily
get in and out of bed when the equipment is in use. If the resident cannot easily and voluntarily release the
bed rails and/or use the bed rails to reposition, the use of the bed rails may be considered a restraint.
i. The IDT will discuss with the resident and/or resident representative the risk and benefits involved with
bed rails and described alternatives that may be feasible prior to installing bed rails.
j. Care plans for restraints are to be developed and implemented.
A review of facility's P&P tilted Siderails, revised 3/2010, the P&P indicated:
a. Facility to use siderails based on residents assessed medical needs.
b. Used for treatment of medical symptoms or condition.
c. A physician's order and signed release by resident is required.
d. Used for resident's mobility and /or transfer.
e. To protect the resident from falling out of bed.
f. A physician's order and signed release by resident is required.

A review of Resident 16's H&P, dated 1/16/2024, indicated Resident 16 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 16's Comprehensive Assessment, dated 2/8/2024, the Comprehensive Assessment
indicated Resident 16 had left and right side rails. The Comprehensive Assessment indicated there was no
indication for the use of the side rails nor indication that consent was received for bilateral side rails.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:23 a.m. and on 6/11/2024 at 9:27 a.m., in Resident 16's room,
Resident 16 was observed lying in bed, with his bed against the wall and with the upper bilateral side rails
up.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/11/2024 at 2:20 p.m., with LVN 2, inside Resident 16's
room, Resident 16 was observed lying in bed, with his bed against the wall and with the upper bilateral side
rails up. LVN 2 stated the use of side rails and the bed against the wall restricted Resident 16's movement
and should not be used unless needed.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 2:29 p.m., with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated Resident 16 and 88's use of bed
rails and their beds against the wall were not appropriate for them because it restricted their movements.
LVN 2 stated these were mainly used for safety purposes, however, they should only be used as a last
resort after utilizing less restrictive interventions such as closer monitoring.
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 10:46 a.m., with RNS 2, RNS 2 stated least restrictive methods should
be utilized for residents, such as redirecting, assisting them with their needs, changing their surrounds,
providing more supervision, or providing additional activities. RNS 2 stated the use of bed rails and the
beds against the wall could be seen as a restraint because they restricted the resident's movement. RNS 2
stated Residents 16 and 88 did not have an order or assessment for the use of those devices or restrictive
methods. RNS 2 stated these restrictive methods could be used for resident's safety, to prevent falls or
injury. RNS 2 stated the use of these restrictive methods could put the residents in harm's way due to the
lack of monitoring, supervision, and assessment for the appropriateness of those devices.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 10:15 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated a
restraint was anything that restricted the residents' movement. The DON stated restraints could be utilized
for residents that were at high risk for falls or injury, however, restraints should be the last resort. The DON
stated prior to utilizing restraints, they would have to assess the resident for their behavior that put their
safety at risk and determine if a different intervention could be done to address the issue. The DON stated
the IDT would discuss the necessity of the restraint for the resident. The DON stated if the IDT approved
the necessity, they would inform the resident's physician of the recommendation and discuss how the
resident would benefit from the device. The DON stated per their policy, an Entrapment Risk Assessment
would be completed prior to the installation of bed rails. The DON stated this process was not done for
Residents 16 and 88.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure 10 of 25 sampled residents
(Resident 66, Resident 71, Resident 16, Resident 88, Resident 40, Resident 93, Resident 36, Resident 13,
Resident 112, and Resident 15) were free from restraint by failing to:

1. Ensure there was a physician order, care plan, and informed consent obtained prior to use of bedrails for
Residents 66, 71, 16, 88, 40, 93, 36, 13, and 112.
2. Ensure the bed was not placed against the wall for Residents 66, 71, 16, 88, 40, 93, 36, 13, and 112.
3. Ensure the implementation of less restrictive measures prior to use was performed for Residents 93, 40,
13, 36, and 112.
5. Ensure the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of different disciplines working together towards a
common goal of a resident) performed quarterly assessments to ensure the least restrictive measures were
taken in preventing Resident 15's attempts of getting up unassisted.
These deficient practices reduced the ability for Residents 66, 71, 16, 88, 40, 93, 36, 13, and 112 to get out
of bed freely, increased their risk for entrapment, and potential subsequent injuries. This deficient practice
also increased Resident 15's risk to be restrained without an indication, leading to potential physical and
psychosocial harm.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 66's admission Record indicated Resident 66 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 66's admitting diagnoses included
unspecified abnormalities of gait (manner of walking) and mobility, generalized muscle weakness, and
anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong
enough to interfere with one's daily activities).
A review of Resident 66's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/5/2024, indicated Resident 66 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 66's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care
screening/planning tool), dated 5/26/2024, indicated Resident 66 had moderate cognitive impairment
(problems with a person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS
indicated Resident 66 required supervision or touching/steadying by staff to reposition himself in bed,
transition from sitting to lying position and vice versa, transition from sitting to standing, and transfer from
bed to chair and vice versa. The MDS did not indicate the use of bedrails.
A review of Resident 66's active physician orders did not indicate any orders for the use of bedrails or the
placement of Resident 66's bed against the wall.
A review of Resident 66's care plans did not indicate a care plan was developed for the use of bed rails or
placement of the resident's bed against the wall.
During an observation on 6/11/2024 at 8:39 a.m., at Resident 66's bedside, Resident 66's bed was
observed placed against the wall, with the left side of the bed touching the wall. There were bed rails
observed to the right and left side of Resident 66's bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/11/2024 at 1:22 p.m., at Resident 66's bedside, with
Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1, RNS 1 observed the placement of Resident 66's bed and bed rails.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the assessment entries on the Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a standardized resident assessment care screening tool) were accurate for two of seven sampled
residents (Resident 17 and 88) when the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Include the presence of hallucinations (an experience involving the apparent perception of something not
present) for Resident 17.
2. Include a diagnosis of anxiety disorder per information in the medical record for Resident 88.
Theses deficient practices had the potential to negatively affect Resident 17 and Resident 88's plan of care
and delivery of necessary care and services.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 17's admission Record (Face Sheet), indicated Resident 17 was initially admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 17's diagnoses included chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow),
schizophrenia (a severe mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and
strong or inappropriate emotions), major depressive disorder (MDD, a mental health disorder characterized
by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life),
and anxiety disorder (a group of mental disorders characterized by significant feelings of fear).
A review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and care
screening tool) dated 6/2/2024, indicated Resident 17 was able to understand and be understood by
others. The MDS indicated Resident 17's cognition (process of thinking) was intact. The MDS indicated
Resident 17 had delusions (misconceptions of beliefs that are firmly held, contrary to reality). The MDS
indicated Resident 17 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showering,
dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 17 received antipsychotic (medication to treat
psychosis [severe mental condition involving abnormal thinking, perceptions, and loss of contact with
reality], antianxiety (medication to treat anxiety [feeling of unease, excessive worry]), and antidepressant
(medication to treat depression) medication.
A review of Resident 17's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/19/2024, indicated Resident 17 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report, dated 2/9/2024, indicated to administer Risperdal (an
antipsychotic medication) 2 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement) two times a day for paranoid
schizophrenia, manifested by auditory hallucinations (an experience involving the apparent perception of
something not present) by hearing voices to internal stimuli.
A review of Resident 17's Monthly Psychotropic Drug Management, dated 6/3/2024, indicated between
5/1/2024 through 5/31/2024, Resident 17 exhibited the behavior of auditory hallucinations by hearing
voices to internal stimuli a total of 5 times.

indicated Resident 17 exhibited the behavior of auditory hallucinations by hearing voices to internal stimuli
on 5/16/2024 and 5/21/2024.
A review of Resident 17's Psychiatric Note, dated 5/2/2024, indicated Resident 17 was seen in her room
presenting with auditory hallucinations, angry outbursts, and verbalized sadness.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 9:41 a.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), the DSS stated
she was responsible for assessing the behavior portion of the MDS. The DSS stated she was responsible
for reviewing the residents' H&P from the hospital to see if there were any history of the presence of
hallucinations or delusions. The DSS stated during the assessment period, she would monitor and observe
the resident to see if they were talking to someone that was not there or responding to internal stimuli.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/12/2024 at 9:44 a.m., with the DSS, Resident 17's
MDS, dated [DATE], was reviewed. The MDS indicated Resident 17 only experienced delusions. The DSS
stated Resident 17's MDS did not indicate that Resident 17 experienced hallucinations. The DSS stated the
MDS was incorrect because Resident 17 experienced hallucinations during the review period and was on
antipsychotic medication for that behavior. The DSS stated the MDS assessment had to be accurate to
monitor the resident, especially when they are on medications for the specific behavior and could prompt
the team to decrease the dose or discontinue the medication entirely if the assessment indicated no
hallucinations. The DSS stated because the MDS assessment for Resident 17's behavior was inaccurate;
the assessment could mislead the healthcare team and could negatively affect Resident 17's plan of care.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 10:06 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated when
the MDS assessment was inaccurate, the resident's plan of care could be negatively affected. The DON
stated the error on Resident 17's behavior could affect the decision making whether her antipsychotic
medication had to be adjusted or continued.
b. A review of Resident 88's admission Record, dated 6/12/2024, indicated Resident 88 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 88's diagnoses included schizophrenia and MDD.
A review of Resident 88's H&P, dated 7/4/2023, indicated Resident 88 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 88's Physician Order Summary (a monthly summary of all active physician orders),
dated 6/12/2024, indicated Resident 88 was prescribed buspirone (a medication used to treat anxiety) 5 mg
by mouth once daily for anxiety on 4/24/2024.
A review of Resident 88's Psychiatric Progress Note (a note recording the findings from a psychiatrist's
periodic assessment), dated 6/5/2024, indicated Resident 88 had psychiatric diagnoses including
schizophrenia, MDD, and anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident 88's MDS Section I, dated 3/22/2024, indicated Resident 88 did not have anxiety
disorder as an active diagnosis.
During an interview on 6/12/24 at 9:41 a.m. with the DON, the DON stated Resident 88's MDS assessment
Section I for 3/22/2024 was inaccurate as it did not include anxiety disorder in his active

dated 6/5/2024 and the resident had been receiving medication for anxiety disorder since well before the
MDS assessment was completed, it should have been included in the MDS assessment on 3/22/2024. The
DON stated inaccurate MDS assessments could negatively impact care planning which increased the risk
that a resident's needs were not fully met, leading to a decline in their quality of life.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review
(PASRR, a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals with a mental disorder or intellectual
disabilities are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) assessments were accurate,
and that determination for the necessity of potential necessary services was completed for two of 25
sampled residents (Resident 109 and Resident 25).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 109 and Resident 25 to not receive the required
services and care needed for their diagnosed mental disorders.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 109's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 109 on 1/19/2024.
Resident 109's admitting diagnoses included schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to
think, feel, and behave clearly), and depression (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently
depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life).
A review of Resident 109's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive care-screening and care-planning
tool), dated 4/27/2024, indicated Resident 109 had diagnoses of schizophrenia and depression.
A review of Resident 109's PASRR Level I Screening, dated 1/19/2024, indicated the assessment was
completed at the facility upon Resident 109's admission.
A review of Resident 109's untitled record, dated 1/19/2024, indicated a PASRR Level II Mental Health
Evaluation could not be completed because Resident 109 already had a duplicate PASRR Level I
Screening on file.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/12/2024 at 10:06 a.m., with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 2, Resident 109's untitled record, dated 1/19/2024 was reviewed. RNS 2 stated the
record indicated a Level II Mental Health Evaluation was required, and stated the facility did not follow up to
ensure it was completed. RNS 2 stated the purpose of the PASRR screenings and evaluations was to
ensure that residents with mental illness received the appropriate services. RNS 2 stated that failure to
ensure Resident 109's Level II Mental Health Evaluation was completed created the potential for Resident
109 to not receive recommended mental health services.
2. A review of Resident 25's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 25 on
4/15/2011, and most recently readmitted Resident 25 on 5/8/2024. Resident 25's admitting diagnoses
included schizophrenia and depression.
A review of Resident 25's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 25 had diagnoses of schizophrenia and
depression.
A review of Resident 25's PASRR Level I Screening, dated 5/10/2024, indicated the individual completing
the screening was supposed to mark yes or no to indicate if Resident 25 had a serious diagnosed mental
disorder such as depressive disorder, .and schizophrenia. The PASRR was marked no, indicating Resident
25 did not have a serious mental disorder.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/12/2024 at 10:21 a.m., with RNS 2, Resident 25's
admission Record and MDS dated [DATE] were reviewed. RNS 2 stated the admission Record and MDS
dated [DATE] indicated Resident 25 had diagnoses of schizophrenia and depression. The RNS then
reviewed Resident 25's PASRR Level I Screening, dated 5/10/2024, and stated the PASRR Level I
Screening, dated 5/10/2024, was not accurate. RNS stated a Level II Mental Health Evaluation was not
required due to the inaccurate assessment, and stated that without the Level II Mental Health Evaluation,
there was potential for Resident 25 to miss out on any recommended mental health services.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop, implement, and update the
comprehensive care plan for 15 out of 25 residents (Resident 88, 10, 13, 66, 109, 11, 71, 15, 16, 17, 93,
40, 13, 36, and 112) by failing to:
1. Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 88's use of Buspirone (a medication used to treat
mental illness) and to address the problematic behavior of auditory hallucinations (hearing voices to harm
self or others), and Resident 17's use of Ativan (a medication used to treat anxiety [feeling of unease,
excessive worry]).
2. Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 10's behavior of wandering into Resident 13's room.
3. Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 66's use of dentures.
4. Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 109's diagnosis of schizophrenia (mental disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly), and Resident 11's diagnoses of paranoid
schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed
mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life), and anxiety disorder (a
mental health disorder characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere
with one's daily activities).
5. Develop a comprehensive care plan for Resident 15's use of a lap tray restraint.
6. Develop a comprehensive care plan for the use of physical restraints for Residents 71, 16, 88, 93,40, 13,
36, and 112.
These deficient practices of failing to create a resident-centered care plan for Residents 88 and 17 to
address problematic behaviors increased the risk that psychotropic medications (medications that affect
brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) used to manage those behaviors would not
be periodically reevaluated as intended. This increased the risk that Residents 88 and 17 may have
experienced adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) related
to psychotropic medications possibly leading to impairment or decline in his mental or physical condition or
functional or psychosocial status.
These deficient practices of failing to create a resident-centered care plan placed Residents 10 and 13 at
risk for harm.
These deficient practices also had the potential to result in weight loss and choking hazards for Resident
66, placed Residents 109 and 11 at risk of not having their mental and psychosocial needs met, and also
had the potential to negatively affect Resident 93, 40, 13, 36, 112, 66, 16, 88, 71, and 15's physical
wellbeing, and placed the residents at risk for unnecessary physical restraints.

demographic information), dated 6/12/2024, indicated Resident 88 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 88's diagnoses included schizophrenia (a mental illness characterized
by seeing and hearing things that are not there) and major depressive disorder (MDD - a mental disorder
characterized by depressed mood, poor appetite, difficulty sleeping, and lack of interest in normally
enjoyable activities).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 88's History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/4/2023, indicated Resident 88 did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 88's Physician Order Summary (a monthly summary of all active physician orders),
dated 6/12/2024, indicated Resident 88 was prescribed the following psychotropic medications on
4/24/2024:
1. Buspirone (a medication used to treat anxiety) 5 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) by mouth
once daily for anxiety.
2. Risperidone (a medication sued to treat schizophrenia) 1.5 mg by mouth every morning and 2 mg by
mouth every evening for schizophrenia.
A review of Resident 88's Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated Resident 88 was being
monitored for auditory hallucinations: hearing voices to harm self or others related to the use of
Risperidone.
A review of Resident 88's available care plans indicated there was no care plan addressing the use of
Buspirone or the problematic behavior of auditory hallucinations: hearing voices to harm self or others.
During an interview on 6/12/2024 9:41 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the facility
failed to include a care plan to address Resident 88's behavior of auditory hallucinations. The DON stated
Resident 88's care plan for schizophrenia which included Risperidone as a targeted intervention listed other
problematic behaviors, but not the auditory hallucinations for which the resident was continually monitored.
The DON stated the failure to create a care plan for the resident's problematic behaviors increased the risk
to the resident and to other residents or staff that the resident may cause harm because of his auditory
hallucinations. The DON stated the facility failed to create a care plan to monitor the adverse effects of
Resident 88's Buspirone medication. The DON stated it was important that a care plan exists to monitor
adverse effects of psychotropic medications to ensure they were periodically reevaluated and did not
decrease quality of life.
2. A review of Resident 17's admission Record indicated Resident 17 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that include but not limited to chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow),
schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident 17's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 17 was able to understand and be
understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident 17's cognition was intact. The MDS indicated Resident
17 had delusions (misconceptions of beliefs that are firmly held, contrary to reality). The MDS indicated
Resident 17 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showering, dressing,
and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 17 received antipsychotic and antidepressant
(medication to treat depression) medication.

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 10:33 a.m., with RNS 2, RNS 2 stated the purpose of care plans was
to provide individualized care to the residents. RNS 2 stated care plans were developed for anything that
was happening with the resident. RNS 2 stated controlled medications (medication that is tightly controlled
by the government because it may be abused or cause addiction) were care planned due to the side effects
that the staff would need to monitor.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/12/2024 at 10:37 a.m., with RNS 2, Resident 17's
Care Plans were reviewed. There were no care plans that addressed Resident 17's use of Ativan. RNS 2
stated Resident 17 did not have a care plan for Ativan use in her medical record, however, a care plan
should have been developed. RNS 2 stated without a care plan that addressed Resident 17's use of Ativan,
there was the potential the resident would not be monitored for side effects. RNS 2 stated any other
interventions that should be done while a resident was on a controlled medication could also be missed.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 9:57 a.m., with the DON, the DON stated the purpose of care plans
was to communicate the plan of care for the residents. The DON stated a care plan should be developed
when a resident was on any psychotropic medications to communicate the reason they are taking it, their
diagnosis, and any monitoring that was required to keep the resident safe. The DON stated Resident 17
should have had a care plan developed since she was taking Ativan. The DON stated without a care plan,
there was the possibility that the side effects and other interventions that need to be done would be missed
and could affect Resident 17's quality of care and safety.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Psychotherapeutic Drug Management, revised
5/17/2024, indicated the care plan will reflect an individualized team approach emphasizing
person-centered interventions with measurable goals, timetables, and specific interventions for the
management of behavioral and psychological symptoms. The P&P indicated the resident's care plan will
include the reason(s) for the drug and described the behaviors the drugs was prescribed to treat. The P&P
indicated the care plan will include the problem/symptoms the resident is experiencing, goals for the
resident, a sticker or note describing the side effects of the drug, non-pharmacologic interventions to help
the resident cope with the problem.
3. A review of Resident 10's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 10 on
7/22/2016, and most recently re-admitted Resident 10 on 12/21/2022. Resident 10's admitting diagnoses
included dementia (a brain disease that effects memory and cognitive function, interfering with daily life),
schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (a mood disorder with manic and depressive episodes).
A review of Resident 10's H&P, dated 12/19/2022, indicated Resident 10 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 5/1/2024, indicated Resident 10 was mildly cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The
MDS indicated Resident 10 had required total assistance with toileting hygiene,

During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 10:54 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5, CNA 5 stated on
5/18/2024 around 4:00 p.m., she had heard a door slam in Resident 13's room so she rushed in there to
make sure everyone was safe. CNA 5 stated when she opened Resident 13's room door she saw Resident
13 naked next to Resident 10, who had her top unbuttoned and her bra showing. CNA 5 separated
Resident 10 and Resident 13 and reported the sexual activity to Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 and
Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 3.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 12:34 a.m., with Resident 10's Responsible Party (RP) 2, RP 2 stated
she received a phone call from RNS 4 who informed her staff found Resident 10 in Resident 13's room
undressed. RP 2 stated she was upset because she believed Resident 10 was molested since she did not
have capacity to make decisions, had dementia, and was confused. RP 2 stated she told the staff in the
past Resident 10 needed to be monitored more since she had fallen one year ago.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/11/2024 at 2:12 p.m., with RNS 1, Resident 10's
Resident Behavior Care Plan, dated 5/27/2024 was reviewed. RNS 1 verified the care plan indicated
Resident 10 went into another resident's room (Resident 13) and had forgetfulness. The care plan further
indicated to check Resident 10's whereabouts and to not allow Resident 10 into male residents' rooms.
RNS 1 stated prior to 5/18/2024, when Resident 10 was witnessed going into Resident 13's room, the
resident was on monitoring for and had a history of going into male residents' rooms. RNS 1 stated there

grooming and personal hygiene for four of 14 residents (Resident 13, Resident 16, Resident 47, and
Resident 98) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Check Resident 98's soiled diaper in a timely manner per facility policy and professional standards.
2. Keep Residents 13, 16, and 47's nails clean and neat.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in a negative impact on Resident's 98, 13, 16, and 47's
quality of life and self-esteem, and had the potential for the development of infection.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 98's admission Record indicated Resident 98 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and most recently re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 98's admitting diagnoses included
hemiplegia (paralysis on one side) and hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to move on one side)
following a cerebral vascular infarction (brain tissue death resulting from disrupted blood flow to the brain)
affecting the right dominant side, and epilepsy (abnormal electrical brain activity and is also known as a
seizure).
A review of Resident 98's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/13/2024, indicated Resident 98 was able to
make needs known but did not have the capacity to make medical decisions.
A review of Resident 98's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 5/15/2024, indicated Resident 98 was severely cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Communication Barriers, which indicated the facility will provide effective interpretation or arrange for a
qualified interpreter to meet the needs of residents who had a hearing, visual, or speech disability, for one
of one sampled resident (Resident 107). The facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Provide Resident 107 with communication aides to enable Resident 107 communicate her needs to staff.
2. Ensure staff used communication tools such as a writing board or American Sign Language (ASL) when
communicating with Resident 107.
3. Assess Resident 107's behaviors of agitation, frustration, and desire to leave the facility.
4. Assess the cause of Resident 107's poor oral intake starting on 6/8/2024.
5. Revise Resident 107's care plan titled The resident has a communication problem related to expressive
aphasia (a condition where a person may understand speech, but they have difficulty speaking fluently
themselves), hearing deficit (deaf), which indicated staff would use a communication board to communicate
with Resident 107, when Resident 107 was assessed as unable to use a communication board for effective
communication.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident 107's attempt to elope (to leave unnoticed and unsupervised)
from the facility, and display signs of frustration, agitation (irritability, easily annoyed) and restlessness due
to her inability to effectively communicate with facility staff. These deficient practices also led to Resident
107 experiencing a nine-pound ([lb.] a unit of measurement) weight loss from 4/12/2024 to 6/7/2024, and a
transfer to general acute care hospital (GACH) 2 on 6/12/2024 due to abdominal pain.
Findings:
A review of Resident 107's History and Physical (H&P) from a general acute care hospital (GACH) 1, dated
4/8/2024, indicated Resident 107 had a history of deafness, visual impairment/blindness, and dementia
(loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities). The H&P further indicated history
collection was limited due to Resident 107's hearing and visual deficits.
A review of Resident 107's admission Record indicated Resident 107 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident 107's admitting diagnoses included dementia, deaf nonspeaking, history of falling, and
generalized muscle weakness. The admission Record also indicated Family Member (FM) 1 was Resident
107's responsible party and decision maker.
A review of Resident 107's H&P, dated 4/17/2023, indicated Resident 107 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 107's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care-planning and care-screening
tool), dated 4/19/2024, indicated Resident 107 had moderate cognitive impairment (problems with a
person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS indicated

transfer Resident 107 to a GACH.
A review of Resident 107's Progress Note, dated 6/12/2024 at 4:18 p.m., indicated Resident 107 was
observed eating dinner and she was a poor eater. The progress note indicated staff encouraged Resident
107 to eat by pointing to the food. The progress note indicated Resident 107 ate 50% of her meal. The
progress note did not indicate staff used an interpreter or alternative communication method to assess the
cause of Resident 107's poor intake, or to encourage Resident 107 to eat.
A review of Resident 107's Progress Note, dated 6/12/2024 at 10:10 p.m., indicated Resident 107 was
transferred to GACH 2 due to intractable pain to her right lower abdomen and right shoulder.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:10 a.m., in the doorway of Resident 107's room, Resident 107
was observed sitting up at the right edge of her bed. Resident 107 did not respond to vocalized questions.
Upon entering the room, Resident 107 vocalized unintelligible sounds, and pointed to her ears and eyes.
No communication board, writing pad, or any other communication devices were observed readily available
at Resident 107's bedside.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:13 a.m., in Resident 107's room, a Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 entered Resident 107's room holding a blood pressure machine. LVN 1 approached Resident 107,
pointed at her (LVN 1's) own arm, and told Resident 107 that she was to check the resident's blood
pressure. LVN 1 showed Resident 107 the machine. LVN 1 did not use any communication device to
communicate with or explain the care to be provided to Resident 107. LVN 1 then directed Resident 107 to
the bed using hand gestures and checked Resident 107's blood pressure.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 6/10/2024 at 10:14 a.m., with LVN 1, in Resident 107's
room, LVN 1 was observed providing care to Resident 107. LVN 1 stated staff used hand gestures or wrote
with pen and paper to communicate with Resident 107. LVN 1 told Resident 107 she was going to go
through Resident 107's belongings, then proceeded to go through Resident 107's bedside dresser.
Resident 107 frowned while LVN 1 went through her belongings. LVN 1 did not use any communication
board, pen, paper, or any other communication device to explain her actions to Resident 107. LVN 1 exited
the room and did not communicate further with Resident 107.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:18 a.m., in Resident 107's room, Resident 107 was observed

During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 9:16 a.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), outside of
Resident 107's room, the DSD stated there were no staff trained or certified in ASL. The DSD stated
Resident 107 was one of the facility's first residents with severe hearing impairment. When asked how
Resident 107 communicated or expressed her needs, the DSD stated Resident 107 made gestures with
her hands and arms. When asked how staff communicated with Resident 107, or explained the care
provided, the DSD stated staff also used hand gestures. The DSD stated hand gestures were not a reliable
method of communication. The DSD stated Resident 107 also had visual impairments. The DSD stated the
Social Services Assistant (SSA) attempted to set up interpreter services for Resident 107 but was unsure
of the outcome.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/11/2024 at 9:20 a.m., at Resident 107's bedside, with
the DSD, the DSD was observed going through Resident 107's bedside dresser. The DSD removed a
printed communication board from the drawer. When the DSD was asked to demonstrate how the
communication board was used to communicate with Resident 107, the DSD stated Resident 107 did not
use the communication board. The DSD stated FM 1 previously informed the facility that Resident 107 used
ASL. Resident 107 was observed attempting to communicate through hand gestures with the DSD. The
DSD was observed attempting to understand what Resident 107 was trying to communicate by verbally
asking Resident 107 what she needed, in an attempt to illicit a response from Resident 107. The DSD did
not use a written communication method or communication device to communicate with Resident 107.
Resident 107 rolled her eyes and continued to make hand gestures, then proceeded to grab the DSD's arm
and guided the DSD out of the room to the nurse's station. At the nurse's station, Resident 107 gestured to
her stomach and the DSD stated Resident 107 was hungry. The DSD then redirected Resident 107 back to
her room. The DSD did not communicate any plan of action to Resident 107 related to Resident 107's
alleged hunger.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 9:23 a.m., in Resident 107's room, with the DSD, the DSD stated staff
were trying the best they could with the tools they had available. The DSD stated it was not safe for
Resident 107 to rely on communicating with staff through unofficial hand gestures when her preferred
method of communication was ASL.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 10:01 a.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she was not aware of the
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS- a service that allows persons who are deaf, hard of hearing,
deafblind, or with speech disabilities to communicate by telephone in a way that is equivalent to telephone
services used by persons without such disabilities), text telephones (TTY- a device that enables individuals
who are deaf, hard of hearing or who have a speech impairment to make and receive telephone calls), or
Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDD-special telecommunications equipment used by people
who cannot use a regular telephone due to hearing loss or speech impairment). CNA 1 stated she had not
received training on how to use the devices and was not aware if the devices were available for the
residents.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 11:41 a.m., with the MDS Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated she was
responsible for the admission process and ensuring the services required of the resident were readily
available prior to admitting the resident to the facility. The MDSN stated staff were aware of Resident 107's
hearing impairment and aware the facility did not have interpreter services available, even before the
resident was admitted to the facility. The MDSN stated the facility planned to rely on Resident 107's FM 1 as
an interpreter. The MDSN stated interpreter services should have been available prior to accepting
Resident 107 to the facility, and Resident 107 should not have been admitted without the necessary
services available.

During a concurrent observation and interview, on 6/12/2024 at 11:59 a.m., with CNA 2, in Resident 107's
room, a binder was observed on Resident 107's bedside table. The ASL alphabet and associated hand
gesture to communicate the specific letters, were printed on a piece of paper on the front of the binder.
CNA 2 stated the tool was intended to be used to communicate with Resident 107. CNA 2 stated she did
not know how to use the tool and did not know ASL. During the interview, Resident 107 was observed
pointing to the ASL hand gestures and gesturing with her own hands. CNA 2 stated she could not
understand what Resident 107 was trying to communicate. When asked if Resident 107 wore glasses, CNA
2 stated she was not sure. CNA 2 told Resident 107 that she was going to check the resident's bedside
dresser for glasses. CNA 2 did not use the printed ASL graphic, a written communication method, or any
other communication device to explain to Resident 107 what she was doing. CNA 2 went through Resident
107's belongings and stated Resident 107 did not have any glasses. After going through the bedside
dresser, CNA 2 continued to communicate verbally to Resident 107. CNA 2 stated staff were supposed to
explain all care and services provided, and it was not sufficient to use unofficial hand gestures to
communicate with Resident 107.
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 12:12 p.m., with FM 1, FM 1 stated she was Resident 107's
responsible party. FM 1 stated the facility contacted her through video calls whenever they need to and
twice a month, if that. FM 1 stated Resident 107's preferred communication method was ASL, and stated
the facility informed her they were using a relay service to communicate with Resident 107 during daily
provision of care. FM 1 stated Resident 107 could not read small text and wore glasses. FM 1 stated
Resident 107's vision was very bad. FM 1 stated Resident 107 had the physical capability to write but could
not write or spell well. FM 1 stated she recommended the use of a TRS to the facility as a method for
communicating with Resident 107. FM 1 stated that during her video calls with Resident 107, Resident 107
used ASL to express to FM 1 that facility staff did not understand what she was saying to them when she
tried to explain her needs. FM 1 stated she could tell Resident 107 was frustrated based on her facial
expressions. FM 1 stated Resident 1 asked her multiple times if she could go home. FM 1 stated Resident
107 appeared to be in distress during the conversations and FM 1 felt bad.
During an interview and record review, on 6/12/2024 at 12:35 p.m., with the MDSN, Resident 107's MDS
dated [DATE], and care plan titled The resident has a communication problem related to expressive
aphasia, and hearing deficit, dated 4/13/2024 and revised 5/23/2024, were reviewed. The MDSN stated she
conducted the MDS assessment dated [DATE]. The MDSN stated the assessment indicated Resident 107
was sometimes understood, sometimes understood others, and had moderate visual impairment. When
asked how the assessment was conducted, the MDSN stated she wrote questions on a piece of paper and
asked Resident 107 to provide her responses in writing. The MDSN stated she did not verify Resident 107
if could read or understand the written questions to provide an accurate response. The MDSN stated
Resident 107's degree of visual impairment was moderate and determined using her own judgment and not
through a formal assessment. The MDSN stated, It was kind of hard to assess her vision. The MDSN stated
the purpose of the MDS was to indicate the level of care and services required for the resident. The MDSN
stated the MDS assessment also guided the care plan and should be as accurate as possible. The MDSN
stated Resident 107's care plan included utilization of a communication board (a sheet of symbols, pictures,
or photos that someone can point to, to communicate with those around them) and a writing tablet as
needed. The MDSN stated she could not explain why the care plan had not been revised when it became
apparent that the intervention was not effective. The MDSN stated there was no documentation in the
record to indicate what had been done to address the communication challenges with Resident 107 when
the communication board and writing tablet were determined to be ineffective. The MDSN stated not only
was it

During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 1:29 p.m., with the DSS and the Social Services Assistant (SSA), the
SSA stated on 6/6/2024, she attempted to use a phone application for interpretation which allowed
Resident 107 to video chat with a live interpreter, for the first time. The SSA stated the phone application
was not currently available for staff's use. The SSA stated the facility had a portable computer tablet to use
but she had to look for its charger. The DSS stated video calls with FM 1 were the most effective method to
communicate with Resident 107. The DSS stated an inability to communicate could cause Resident 107 to
experience anxiety and frustration.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/13/2024 at 12:12 p.m., with the DON, Resident 107's
admission Record, and nursing progress notes dated 4/12/2024 to 6/13/2024, the medical record titled
Change in Condition Evaluation (COC), dated 4/18/2024, the facility's P&P titled Communication Barriers,
dated 4/5/2023, the P&P titled Translation or Interpretation Services, dated 6/1/2021, and Resident 107's
GACH 1 H&P, dated 4/8/2024, were reviewed. The DON stated the progress notes indicated staff were
aware of Resident 107's preference to communicate using ASL, and Resident 107 displayed signs of
frustration, agitation, and restlessness due to her inability to communicate with the staff. The DON stated
the COC, dated 4/18/2024, indicated Resident 107 attempted to the leave the facility and that attempts to
redirect Resident 107 were less effective due to communication barriers. The DON stated staff should have
been able to communicate with Resident 107. The DON stated she was aware since Resident 107's
admission to the facility, that staff had difficulty communicating with the resident. The DON stated it was
reasonable that Resident 107 wanted to elope due to an inability to communicate or understand others. The
DON stated clear communication was important for staff to identify and address Resident 107's needs. The
DON stated it was a safety concern if Resident 107 could not communicate her needs with the staff. The
DON also stated lack of clear communication could lead to inaccurate assessments of Resident 107's
clinical condition, and negatively impact the plan of care. The DON stated Resident 107's psychosocial
well-being could also be negatively affected, and Resident 107 could suffer anxiety and frustration. The
DON stated the facility's P&P, dated 4/5/2023, indicated interpreter services should have been available to
Resident 107. The DON stated the facility did not provide interpreter services and did not have access to
any interpreter services. The DON stated she assumed Resident 107 could communicate by writing but she
did not verify with GACH 1. The DON stated the facility's P&P dated 6/1/2021 indicated staff should not rely
on family members for translation services.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled RAI Process - MDS Assessments, Processing
and Documentation, dated 1/1/2012, indicated the purpose of the policy was to provide residents
assessment that accurately depict and identify resident-specific issues and objectives. The P&P indicated
the MDS was a part of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) and indicated the RAI included an
accurate reflection of the resident's status.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Behavior - Management, dated 1/1/2012,
indicated staff will perform an appropriate assessment of the resident's behavioral symptoms and
implemented appropriate interventions. The P&P indicated when a resident displayed new behavioral
symptoms, staff would implement non-pharmacologic interventions to alleviate possible causative factors
and use effective verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to manage the behavior problems, prior
to initiating psychotropic medications. The P&P indicated possible interventions included addressing
psychosocial stressors and medical conditions.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
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 prevent the development of a pressure ulcer
(a wound that develops from prolonged pressure depriving the tissue from receiving oxygen) for one out of
three residents (Resident 58).
Residents Affected - Few
The deficient practice had the potential to cause serious infection, tissue injury, and extreme discomfort to
Resident 58.
Findings:
A review of Resident 58's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 58 on
2/11/2021, and most recently re-admitted Resident 58 on 4/12/2024. Resident 58's admitting diagnoses
included carcinoma (cancer) of the anus (the opening at the far end of the digestive tract through which
stool leaves the body) and anal canal (a channel connecting the rectum to the anus), chronic ulcerative
proctitis (an inflammatory disease involving only the rectum), and adult failure to thrive (a weight syndrome
with decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity).
A review of Resident 58's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/12/2024, indicated Resident 58 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 58's baseline (a minimum starting point used for comparison) assessment titled Light
Comprehensive Assessment, dated 4/12/2024, indicated Resident 58 had no skin break down (opening of
the skin) or pressure ulcers upon admission.
A review of Resident 58's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 4/24/2024, indicated Resident 58 required total assistance with all activities of daily living (self care
activities performed daily) such as eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, dressing, and
personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 58's Light Wound Weekly Observation Tool, dated 5/11/2024, indicated Resident 58
developed a wound on the sacrum (lower back) which measured 3 centimeters (cm, unit of measurement)
(in length) by (x) 3 cm (in width) x 0.1 cm (in depth) in size.
A review of Resident 58's Light Wound Weekly Observation Tool, dated 5/15/2024, indicated Resident 58
wound on the sacrum had increased in width and the new measurements were 2.4 cm x 4.5 cm.
A review of Resident 58's Light Wound Weekly Observation Tool, dated 6/5/2024, indicated Resident 58
wound on the sacrum had increased in overall size, measuring 5.4 cm x 6.4 cm x 1.2 cm.
A review of Resident 58's care plan for Pressure Ulcers, dated 5/15/2024, indicated Resident 58 had an
unstageable (unable to determine the depth, degree, and severity of the wound) pressure ulcer to the
sacrum. The care plan indicated Resident 58's health goal was to heal the wound and remain free from
infection by turning and repositioning Resident 58 at least once every two (2) hours and more often as
needed.
A review of Resident 58's Physicians Orders, dated 6/5/2024, indicated Resident 58's unstageable
pressure ulcer was to be treated with Santyl ointment (a topical wound care treatment that breaks down

wound with normal saline, and to cover with a dry dressing. The physician orders for Resident 58 did not
include a skin barrier or protectant cream for incontinence related moisture of urine and feces.
A review of Resident 58's care plan titled Stage 4 (a wound so deep it reaches the bone) Pressure Ulcer of
the Sacrum dated 6/6/2024, indicated for staff to monitor for effectiveness of treatments and to inform the
physician for wound improvements and declines.
A review of Resident 58's care plan titled Poor Healing of Stage 2 (a pressure ulcer that exceeds the
dermis with partial thickness loss) dated 6/11/2024, indicated Resident 58's health goal was to show signs
of healing on the sacral (sacrum) wound. There were no staff interventions/approaches indicated on the
care plan.
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:12 a.m., Resident 58 was observed bedbound and asleep on an
air mattress (a mattress used to relieve pressure for bedbound residents).
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 9:52 a.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1, RNS 1 stated
Resident 58 was last admitted to the facility on [DATE] without wounds. RNS 1 stated a wound was
discovered on Resident 58 on 5/11/2024 while under the facility's care. RNS 1 stated Resident 58
constantly had feces coming out of her anus which made it hard to keep the resident skin clean and dry.
RNS 1 stated Resident 58's care plan did not indicate any interventions for increased frequency of
incontinence care or any moisture barrier creams. RNS 1 stated due to Resident 58's situation more
frequent skin checks and cleaning was warranted.
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 2:10 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
Resident 58 developed a wound under the facility's care. The DON stated due to Resident 58's situation the
resident should be turned and skin checked more frequently, however it was not part of their plan of care.
The DON was not able to determine what stage Resident 58's wound was due to care plan discrepancies
(one care plan indicated a Stage 4 and another indicated a Stage 2).
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 2:36 p.m., with the Treatment Nurse (TXN), the TXN stated Resident
58's sacral wound was currently a Stage 3 (full thickness loss with a depth that can reach the fat tissue
layer) because she was able to see subcutaneous (fat) tissue.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to keep the environment free from hazardous
maintenance tools and nails in the room for two out of eight residents (Resident 10 and Resident 51).
The deficient practice had the potential to cause injury to Resident 10 and 51 by coming into direct contact
with sharp objects.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 10's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 10 on
7/22/2016, and most recently re-admitted Resident 10 on 12/21/2022. Resident 10's admitting diagnoses
included dementia (a brain disease that effects memory and cognitive function, interfering with daily life),
schizophrenia (a mental disorder characterized by disorganized and delusional thinking, and auditory or
visual hallucinations), and bipolar disorder (a mood disorder with manic and depressive episodes).
A review of Resident 10's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/19/2022, indicated Resident 10 did not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 5/1/2024, indicated Resident 10 was mildly cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The
MDS indicated Resident 10 required total assistance with toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, and
personal hygiene.
b. A review of Resident 51's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 51 on
11/07/2017, and most recently re-admitted Resident 51 on 5/23/2024. Resident 51's admitting diagnoses
included multiple sclerosis (a progressive disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective
covering of nerves causing weakness and immobility).
A review of Resident 51's H&P, dated 5/24/2024, indicated Resident 51 had the capacity to understand and
make decisions.
A review of Resident 51's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 51 was cognitively intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 51 had required total assistance with all activities of daily living such as eating, oral
hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 6/10/2024, at 10:49 a.m., inside Resident 51 and Resident 10's shared room,
Resident 51 and Resident 10 were observed asleep. There was a rolling cart with used nails, screws, a
wood [NAME], and other unidentifiable sharp objects exposed and within reach.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 10:55 a.m., with Maintenance Assistant (MA) 1, MA 1 stated his tools
were in Resident 10 and Resident 51's room because the floor needed to be fixed, but he had to step away
for 5 minutes. MA 1 stated leaving unattended tools and sharp objects was a safety concern for the
residents.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement the Registered
Dietician's (RD, a health professional who has special training in diet and nutrition) recommendations for
one of 25 sampled residents (Resident 66), when staff were unaware of recommendations for Resident 66
to be initiated on a Restorative Nursing Aid (RNA, a certified nursing assistant primarily assigned to
perform therapeutic exercises and activities to maintain or re- establish a resident's optimum physical
function and abilities) feeding program (a medical and nutritional treatment regimen to aid those with
nutritional concerns).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice increased the risk for Resident 66 to sustain further weight loss and not meet his
nutritional needs.
Findings:
A review of Resident 66's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 66 on
7/9/2021, and most recently re-admitted the Resident 66 on 1/27/2023. Resident 66's admitting diagnoses
included generalized muscle weakness and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
A review of Resident 66's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/5/2024, indicated Resident 66 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 66's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care
screening/planning tool), dated 5/26/2024, indicated Resident 66 had moderate cognitive impairment
(problems with a person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS
indicated Resident 66 required set-up or clean-up assistance from staff to eat.
A review of Resident 66's care plan, dated 4/5/2024 and revised 5/31/2024, indicated Resident 66 was at
risk for complications in health status due to his history of weight loss and fluctuating weight. The care plan
indicated the goals of care included minimization of repeat significant weight loss. The staff interventions
indicated dietary consultations as needed, assessment of Resident 66's need for further nutritional support,
and to assist with meals to encourage increased meal intake.
A review of Resident 66's Dietary Progress Note, dated 6/10/2024, indicated Resident 66 sustained a 39
pound (lb.) weight loss in the last six months due to variable oral intake (nutrition consumed by mouth). The
progress note indicated the Registered Dietician (RD) recommended Resident 66 be initiated on a RNA
feeding program for breakfast and lunch to promote increased oral intake and weight stabilization.
A review of Resident 66's active physician orders did not indicate any orders for RNA feeding program.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 8:54 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated
Resident 66 was receiving a pureed diet (a diet where the food has been ground, pressed, and/or strained
to a soft, smooth consistency, like a pudding) and fed himself. CNA 4 stated she set-up Resident 66's
breakfast tray in the morning and did not assist with or supervise Resident 66 for breakfast.

Resident 66 was observed sitting up in bed, with his lunch tray on his bedside table, placed directly in front
of him. Resident 66 stated he was feeding himself. No staff were observed at the bedside to assist Resident
66 to eat, or to supervise the resident while eating.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 1:04 p.m. with CNA 4, CNA 4 stated Resident 66 was not on a feeding
program and stated Resident 66 fed himself.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/11/2024 at 1:13 p.m., with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 1, Resident 66's dietary progress note dated 6/10/2024 was reviewed. RNS 1 stated the
progress note indicated Resident 66 was supposed to be on a RNA feeding program. RNS 1 stated she
was not aware of this progress note, or the RD's recommendations. RNS 1 stated that if Resident 66 was
not on an RNA feeding program as recommended by the RD, Resident 66 was at risk for further weight
loss.
During an interview on 6/11/2024 at 1:19 p.m., CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she worked as a RNA in the facility
and was responsible for implementing the RNA feeding program for any residents that required it. CNA 1
stated Resident 66 was not included in the residents seen for the RNA feeding program for breakfast or
lunch.

(DON), Resident 66's dietary progress note, dated 6/10/2024, and the current physician orders were
reviewed. The DON stated that when the RD recommended to start a resident on a RNA feeding program,
the recommendation was entered as an order to be carried out by the staff. The DON stated she was
unaware of the recommendations made by the RD and stated there were no orders for Resident 66 to be
started on an RNA feeding program. The DON stated the RNA feeding program was an intervention utilized
when a resident had experienced weight loss and poor oral intake. The DON stated the RNA feeding
program required RNAs to provide supervision to the residents during meals, encourage oral intake, and/or
feed the residents if needed. The DON stated the RNA program was to aid in the prevention of further
weight loss.
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 11:00 a.m., with the RD, the RD stated that timeliness in following up
on the dietary recommendations made for the facility residents could make a difference in the residents'
outcomes, including their nutritional status.
A review of the facility's job description titled Job Descriptions Job Title: [Registered Nurse] Supervisor,
dated 12/14/1998, indicated the RNS was responsible for monitoring all documentation necessary for
quality patient care.

should be assessed for the appropriateness of the device and closely monitored to ensure their safety was
upheld. LVN 2 stated if the bed rails were inappropriate for the resident and they were not closely
monitored, the resident's were at risk of getting caught between the side rails and the bed which could
cause injury or suffocation (death caused by not having enough oxygen).
During an interview on 6/12/2024 at 10:46 a.m., with RNS 2, RNS 2 stated least restrictive methods should
be utilized for residents, such as redirecting, assisting them with their needs, changing their surrounds,
providing more supervision, or providing additional activities. RNS 2 stated when bed rails were utilized, the
resident must be assessed that it was appropriate to use, and the residents must be monitored. RNS 2
stated if the residents were not properly monitored, complications, such as getting caught in the side rails
and injury, could occur.

Residents Affected - Some
Team (IDT, a group of healthcare professionals with various areas of expertise who work together towards
the goals of the residents) would discuss the necessity of bed rails for the resident. The DON stated if the
IDT approved the necessity for the use of bed rails, they would inform the resident's physician of the
recommendation and discuss how the resident would benefit from the device. The DON stated prior to
utilizing bed rails, the facility should be aware of the entrapment risk, and assess the space between the
side rail and the bed to ensure there was no risk of the resident getting stuck in that space. The DON stated
per their policy, an Entrapment Risk Assessment would be completed prior to the installation of bed rails.
The DON stated this process was not done for Residents 16 and 88 for the utilization of bed rails which
placed them at risk for injury.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) tilted Siderails, revised 3/2010, indicated the facility
was to use siderails based on the residents assessed medical needs. The P&P indicated a physician's
order and signed release by resident is required. The P&P indicated the siderails were to be used for
resident's mobility and /or transfer, and to protect the resident from falling out of bed.
A review of the facility's P&P tilted Restraints, revised 5/1/2018, indicated a physical restraint is defined as
any manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the
resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom of movement or normal
access to one's body. This may include bed rails, beds against walls, restrictive clothing, etc. The P&P
indicated residents shall be provided an environment that is restraint-free, unless a restraint is necessary to
treat a medical symptom in which case the least restrictive measures shall be used. The P&P indicated
informed consent will be obtained from the resident or responsible party if a restraint will be used. The P&P
indicated if the facility is utilizing bed rails, a Bed Rail Entrapment Risk Assessment will be completed by a
Licensed Nurse prior to the installation of bed rails. The P&P indicated the Interdisciplinary Care Team
([IDT] a group of healthcare professionals who work together to provide residents with the care they need)
will discuss with the resident and/or resident representative the risk and benefits involved with bed rails and
described alternatives that may be feasible prior to installing bed rails.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess the medical need, obtain a
physician order, and informed consent for the use of bed side rails for nine of nine sampled residents
(Resident 93, Resident 40, Resident 13, Resident 36, Resident 112, Resident 66, Resident 71, Resident
88, and Resident 16).
These deficient practices had the potential to place Residents 93, 40, 13, 36, 112, 66, 71, 88, and 16 at risk
for accidents, injury, and hazards such as entrapment and falls.
Findings:
a. During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:36 a.m., in Resident 93's room Resident 93's bed was
observed with the bilateral (pertaining to both sides) siderails up.
A review of Resident 93's admission Record indicated Resident 93 was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 93's diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
([COPD] a chronic lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs) and chronic kidney disease
(loss of kidney function).

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Behavior - Management, which indicated when a resident displayed new behavioral symptoms, staff would
use effective verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to manage the behavior problems, prior to
initiating psychotropic medications (medications used to treat anxiety) for one of one sampled residents
(Resident 107), who was deaf and visually impaired. The facility failed to ensure:
1. Resident 107's behavior was assessed using a communication board, writing pad, or American Sign
Language (ASL, a language expressed by movements of the hands and face), to meet the resident's
needs, prior to diagnosing Resident 107 with anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive
worry and feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness), and administering lorazepam ([Ativan], a drug used to
treat anxiety) to Resident 107 on 4/20/2024, 4/25/2024, and 5/3/2024.
This deficient practice placed Resident 107 at risk for unnecessary medication and side effects associated
with Ativan including headache, muscle weakness, sleep problems and loss of balance and coordination.
Findings:
A review of Resident 107's History and Physical (H&P) from a general acute care hospital (GACH) 1, dated
4/8/2024, indicated Resident 107 had a history of deafness, visual impairment/blindness, and dementia.
The H&P did not indicate a diagnosis of anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident 107's admission Record indicated Resident 107 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident 107's admitting diagnoses included dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and
other thinking abilities), deaf, nonspeaking (lacking the power of hearing, or having impaired hearing),
history of falling, and generalized muscle weakness. The admission Record did not indicate a diagnosis of
anxiety or anxiety disorder.
A review of Resident 107's H&P, dated 4/17/2023, indicated Resident 107 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 107's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care-planning and care-screening
tool), dated 4/19/2024, indicated Resident 107 had moderate cognitive impairment (problems with a
person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS indicated
Resident 107 had highly impaired hearing, did not speak, and had moderately impaired vision requiring the
use of corrective lenses. The MDS indicated Resident 107 was unable to respond when asked how often
she needed to have someone help her read instructions or written material. The MDS indicated Resident
107 exhibited rejection of care necessary to achieve goals for health and well-being for one (1) to three (3)
days over a period of seven (7) days. The MDS indicated Resident 107 required partial to moderate
assistance from staff for hygiene after toileting, dressing her upper body, personal hygiene activities,
mobility while in bed, and transitioning between surfaces (bed to chair, getting on and off the toilet). The
MDS indicated Resident 107 required verbal cues and/or touching/steadying assistance from staff when
eating, brushing her teeth, dressing her lower body, putting on/taking off her shoes, and walking.

continued to receive Ativan to treat an anxiety disorder. PA 1 stated anxiety disorder can be an acute
condition (a condition that is severe and sudden in onset) and likely caused by Resident 107's inability to
communicate with others. PA 1 stated he was unsure if staff addressed the cause of Resident 107's anxiety
prior to the administration of Ativan.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 11:41 a.m., with the MDS Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated she was
responsible for the admission process, including ensuring required services for each resident were readily
available prior to admitting the resident to the facility. The MDSN stated prior to Resident 107's admission to
the facility, staff were aware of Resident 107's hearing impairment, and the facility did not have interpreter
services available. The MDSN stated the facility planned to rely on FM 1 as an interpreter, though it was not
the facility's policy to rely on family members as interpreters. The MDSN stated interpreter services should
have been available prior to accepting Resident 107 to the facility, and Resident 107 should not have been
admitted without the necessary services available. The MDSN stated the facility was currently working on
obtaining interpreter services, but there was still no service in place at the time of the interview.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/13/2024 at 12:12 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 107's admission Record, undated, nursing progress notes dated 4/12/2024 to 6/13/2024,
COC, dated 4/18/2024, and Resident 107's current and discontinued care plans, and Resident 107's
discontinued physician orders for lorazepam, dated 4/12/2024 to 4/19/2024, and 4/19/2024 to 5/3/2024,
were reviewed. The DON stated the admission Record indicated Resident 107 was admitted on [DATE] and
did not indicate a diagnosis of anxiety disorder. The DON stated the progress notes indicated staff were
aware of Resident 107's preference to communicate using ASL, and Resident 107 displayed signs of
frustration, agitation, and restlessness due to her inability to communicate with the staff. The DON stated
there were no current or discontinued care plans to address Resident 107's anxiety. The DON stated there
were no non-pharmacological (any type of healthcare intervention which is not primarily based on
medication) interventions in place or previously attempted to address the cause of Resident 107's anxiety.
The DON stated the COC, dated 4/18/2024, indicated Resident 107 attempted to leave the facility and
attempts to redirect Resident 107 were less effective due to communication barriers. The DON stated she
was aware when Resident 107 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], that staff had difficulty communicating
with her (Resident 107). The DON stated it was reasonable that Resident 107 wanted to elope (when a
person leaves unsupervised and undetected) due to an inability to communicate or understand others. The
DON stated if Resident 107 could not communicate her needs, staff would not be able to meet the
resident's needs. The DON also stated lack of clear communication could lead to inaccurate

Resident 107's psychosocial well-being could also be negatively affected, and Resident 107 could suffer
anxiety and frustration.
A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Behavior - Management, dated 1/1/2012, indicated
staff were supposed to perform an appropriate assessment of the resident's behavioral symptoms and
implement appropriate interventions. The P&P indicated when a resident displayed new behavioral
symptoms, staff would implement non-pharmacologic interventions to alleviate possible causative factors
and use effective verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to manage the behavior problems, prior
to initiating psychotropic medications. The P&P indicated possible interventions included addressing
psychosocial stressors and medical conditions.
A review of the facility P&P titled Psychotherapeutic Drug Management, dated 5/17/2024, indicated the
purpose of the policy was to implement the most desirable and effective interventions to eliminate
behaviors that were distressing to the resident, and/or decreasing or negatively impacting the resident's
quality of life. The P&P indicated nursing staff's responsibilities included considering other factors that may
be causing expressions or indications of distress before initiating psychotropic medications, such as an
underlying medical condition, or psychosocial stressors.

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one bottle of Gabapentin (a
medication used to treat nerve pain) 250 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) per 5 milliliters (ml - a
unit of measure for volume) was stored in the refrigerator in one of three inspected medication carts
(Station 2 Medication Cart 2) for Resident 62.
The deficient practice of failing to store medications per the manufacturers' requirements increased the risk
that Resident 62 could have received medication that had become ineffective or toxic due to improper
storage possibly leading to health complications.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 1:45 p.m. of Station 2 Medication Cart 2, with
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), the following medications were found either expired, stored in a manner
contrary to their respective manufacturer's requirements, or not labeled with an open date as required by
their respective manufacturer's specifications:
1. One bottle of Gabapentin 250 mg per (/) 5 ml solution for Resident 62 was found stored at room
temperature.
According to the manufacturer's product labeling, Gabapentin 250 mg/5 ml solution should be stored in the
refrigerator.
LVN 1 stated the Gabapentin solution for Resident 62 was stored at room temperature but was supposed to
be stored in the refrigerator according to the pharmacy label. LVN 1 stated because the resident needed
the medication multiple times per day, it was likely not returned to the refrigerator after each dose as it
should be. LVN 1 stated if the medication was not stored properly, there was a risk that it may not be
effective when used for the resident. LVN 1 stated Resident 62 used this medication to treat nerve pain and
could experience increased pain if the Gabapentin was ineffective due to improper storage.
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled Storage of Medications, indicated
medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely, and properly, and following the manufacturer's
recommendations or those of the supplier. The P&P indicated medications requiring refrigeration are kept in
a refrigerator with a thermometer to allow temperature monitoring.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed food
production recipes and fortified diet (diet to increase caloric intake) guidelines during lunch service when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Fortified diets (diet enriched to increase caloric content) were not prepared and served to 10 residents
who were receiving a fortified diet.
2. 17 residents who were prescribed a pureed diet (foods that do not require chewing and are easily
swallowed in which all foods should be smooth and pureed to the consistency of pudding) received pureed
vegetables (carrots and green beans) that were lumpy, not smooth, and had chunks which required
chewing before swallowing.
3. [NAME] 1 used a small scoop size to serve meatloaf for residents receiving a mechanical soft and finally
chopped diet (includes moist foods in bit sized pieces for residents who have chewing and or swallowing
difficulty). 29 residents prescribed a mechanical soft diet and four residents prescribed a finally chopped
diet received 1/3 cup of meat loaf instead of 1/2 cup per the menu.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in meal dissatisfaction, decreased caloric intake, weight
loss, and increased choking risk for residents requiring a pureed diet.
Findings:
1. During the lunch service tray line observation on 6/10/2024 at 11:50 a.m., for residents who were
prescribed a fortified diet, [NAME] 2 did not communicate to [NAME] 1 the fortified diet orders written on
the meal tickets during tray line. [NAME] 1 did not add any additional food items per the fortified menu to
the meal trays.
During a concurrent observation and interview with [NAME] 1 and [NAME] 2 on 6/10/2024 at 12:00 p.m.,
regarding the diet fortification process, [NAME] 1 stated when there was a fortified diet, butter was added to
the vegetables during lunch. [NAME] 2 stated during lunch he reads and communicated the different diets
based on the meal ticket indicated on the trays. Subsequently, [NAME] 2 did not read and communicate
residents likes and dislikes or the fortified diet orders written on the meal tickets.
During a concurrent interview on 6/10/2024 at 12:45 p.m., with [NAME] 2 and the Dietary Supervisor (DS),
[NAME] 2 stated he did not read and communicate the fortified diets during lunch service. The DS stated
fortified diets were for residents who were losing weight or not eating enough calories. The DS stated butter
was added to vegetables during lunch service to increase calories. The DS stated residents receiving a
fortified diet did not receive the fortified foods.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Therapeutic Diets, revised 5/1/2018, indicated,
therapeutic diets are diets that deviate from the regular diet and require a physician order. The P&P
indicated the dietary manager will observe meal preparation and serving to ensure that food portions
served are equal to the written portion sizes. The P&P indicated the dietary manager will periodically review
the residents tray card and the physicians' dietary orders to ensure that the information is consistent.

A review of the facility's P&P titled Fortification of food: Increasing Calories and or protein in the Diet, dated
2023, indicated, the goal is to increase the calorie and or protein density of the foods commonly consumed
by the resident to promote improvement in their nutrition status. The P&P indicated extra margarine may be
added to one food item at breakfast, two food items at lunch, and one food item at dinner.
2. During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 10:35 a.m., in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 was observed adding frozen
mixed vegetables (carrots, green beans, cauliflower) inside a large pot. [NAME] 1 added water and stated
after the vegetables boiled for 30 minutes he would remove some of the vegetables to blend for the pureed
diet.
During an observation of the lunch tray line service on 6/10/2024 at 11:50 a.m., the pureed vegetables
were chunky and not smooth. During the serving of the pureed vegetables, observed pieces of vegetables
on the plate.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the DS and [NAME] 1 on 6/10/2024 at 1:00 p.m.,
[NAME] 1 stated pureed food should be the consistency of pudding, hold its shape and not require chewing
so the residents could not easily swallow. [NAME] 1 stated the pureed vegetables he served had a chunky
consistency. [NAME] 1 stated he was rushing for lunch service and did not blend the pureed vegetables
well until smooth. [NAME] 1 stated it was important for pureed food to be soft and not chunky so there was
no chewing before swallowing. The DS tasted the pureed food and stated there was some chewing needed
before swallowing. The DS stated [NAME] 1 would need to blend the pureed food longer.
A review of the facility's P&P titled Regular Pureed Diet, dated 2023, indicated, pureed diet is a regular diet
that has been designed for residents who have difficulty chewing and or swallowing. The P&P indicated the
texture of the food should be of a smooth and moist consistency.
A review of the recipe for pureed vegetables indicated to puree the cooked vegetables to a paste
consistency before adding liquids. The recipe indicated to gradually add warm liquid if needed. The recipe
indicated the puree should reach the consistency of applesauce.
A review of the International Dysphagia Diet (foods that are soft textured and moist, making them easy to
swallow) Standardization Initiative guidelines for pureed diet (www.IDDSI.org) indicated, pureed food does
not require chewing and have a smooth texture with no lumps.
3. A review of the facility lunch menu for mechanical soft and finally chopped diet, dated 6/10/2024,
indicated the following items would be served: Old fashioned meatloaf 4 ounces (oz., unit of measurement)
or 1/2 cup mashable and moist with gravy; herb mashed potatoes 1/2 cup; seasoned fresh vegetables soft
or chop 1/2 inch; pan biscuit; margarine; plain ice cream; and milk.
During a concurrent observation of the lunch tray line service and interview with [NAME] 1 and the DS on
6/10/2024 at 11:50 a.m., for residents who were receiving a mechanical soft and finally chopped diet,
[NAME] 1 served meatloaf using the #12 scoop yielding 2.5 oz. or 1/3 of cup instead of 1/2 cup per the
menu. [NAME] 1 stated he used the smaller scoop to serve the mechanical soft meatloaf. [NAME] 1 stated
he made a mistake and did not realize the scoop size. The DS stated the residents receiving a mechanical
soft and finally chopped diet received less protein than the menu indicated.

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 provide food that accommodated residents'
preferences and offer meal substitutes of the same nutritive values for one of six sampled residents
(Resident 112).
These deficient practices had the potential to alter Resident 112's nutritional status.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/2024 at 12:58 p.m., with Resident 112, in Resident
112's room, Resident 112's lunch meal tray was observed on top of the resident's bedside table. Resident
112's lunch meal tray included meatloaf, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, corn bread, and milk.
Resident 112 was observed eating ice cream, and stated she was not going to eat her lunch because she
did not like beef. Resident 112 stated that she was still being served beef even though she told the dietary
staff that she did not like beef.
A review Resident 112's meal tray ticket on 6/10/2024 at 1:05 p.m., indicated Resident 112 was receiving a
regular, mechanical soft diet (texture-modified diet that restricts foods that are difficult to chew or swallow)
with thin liquids. Resident 112's meal tray ticket indicated the resident disliked beef, coffee, pork, salad, and
pasta.
A review of Resident 112's Face Sheet, indicated Resident 112 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including schizophrenia (serious mental health condition which affects the way one thinks,
behaves, and feels clearly) and seizures (abnormal electric activity in the brain).
A review of Resident 112's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and care
screening tool) dated 5/16/2024, indicated Resident 112's cognitive skills for daily decision making was
intact (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 112 required supervision (the helper
provides verbal cues, touching contact as resident completes activity) for toileting hygiene, dressing,
showering, and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/10/2024 at 1:15 p.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS),
in Resident 112's room, the DS confirmed Resident 112's meal tray contained meatloaf. The DS stated he
asked each individual resident about their food preferences. The DS stated there were three checks before
the tray left the kitchen. The DS stated the tray line staff checked the menu cards with the tray. The DS
stated he, himself, did a final check before the trays left the kitchen. The DS stated the third and final check
was performed by the licensed nurse who helped pass out the trays to the residents.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 9:57 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was
important to honor residents' food preferences. The DON stated disliked food may affect the residents'
intake and placed residents at risk for malnutrition (lack of proper nutrition).
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Food substitutions during tray line and alternate
for food item resident does not like that is recorded on the tray card, undated, indicated the cook will
provide a food substitute at each meal for food items that a resident may dislike,

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food
storage and preparation practices when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. One package of ready to eat ham was stored in the walk-in refrigerator with no thaw date. One large tray
of breaded fish, two large packages of diced pork and six logs of ground beef were thawing in the walk-in
refrigerator with no pulled out of the freezer or thaw date. One plastic storage bag with a breaded food item
stored in the reach in freezer had no label or date.
2. The ice machine was not maintained in a clean manner and the inside compartment of the ice machine
was observed with black residue.
3. Dietary Aide 1 did not follow cleaning and sanitizing procedures when there was raw ground beef in the
food preparation sink, and when [NAME] 1 used the same sink to drain ready to eat cooked vegetables.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination
(transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to foodborne illness in 108 out of
114 residents who received food and ice from the kitchen.
Findings:
During an observation on 6/10/2024 at 8:45 a.m., in the kitchen, there was one large tray of breaded fish
with no thaw date stored in the walk in refrigerator. There was one package of ready to eat previously
frozen and thawed sliced ham stored in the walk-in refrigerator with no thaw date.
During a subsequent concurrent observation and interview with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), there were
two large packages of raw diced pork and six logs of ground beef thawing on the bottom shelf in the walk-in
refrigerator with no thaw or pulled out of the freezer date. The DS stated the ground beef was going to be
used that day (6/10/2024). The DS stated the meat was usually taken out of the freezer 3 days prior to
preparation. The DS agreed that meat thawing in the refrigerator should be labeled to ensure the food items
did not exceed the thawing and storing period.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the DS on 6/10/2024 at 9:00 a.m., in the reach in
refrigerator, there was one brown bag sack lunch with a ham sandwich and juice dated 6/7/2024. The DS
stated the lunch bag included snacks for residents receiving dialysis treatment (process of filtering waste
from the blood in place of kidneys that no longer function). The DS stated the sack lunch had been in the
refrigerator for 3 days and must be discarded. The DS was observed removing the sack lunch from the
refrigerator.
During a subsequent concurrent observation and interview with the DS, in the reach in freezer, there was
one plastic bag with a breaded food item. The bag was not labeled or dated. The DS stated everything that
was out of the original box must be labeled and dated.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Procedure for refrigerator storage, dated 2023,
indicated, individual packages of refrigerated or frozen food taken from the original packing box needed to
be labeled and dated.

Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program
in the nursing home.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Infection Preventionist (IP), who was
responsible for the facility's Infection Prevention Control Program, completed ten hours of continuing
education training on an annual basis.
This deficient practice had the potential for the IP to be unaware and be unable to educate the facility's staff
of updated information regarding Infection Prevention and Control.
Findings:
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 7:40 a.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated he was
unable to find documentation that he completed ten hours of continuing education for the year of 2023. The
IP stated he completed continuing education hours when he renewed his nursing license, however, those
hours were not completed in the year of 2023. The IP stated he was responsible for completing ten hours of
continuing education annually to ensure he was aware of any new guidelines or studies that were released
and to be up to date with current infection prevention and control practices.
During an interview on 6/13/2024 at 10 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the IP
was responsible for educating the staff on current infection prevention and control practices. The DON
stated for the IP to educate others, he was responsible for being updated on current news and training
sources. The DON stated if the IP did not complete the ten hours of continuing education annually, there
was the potential that he could miss any changes that would need to be implemented and could possibly
not be up to date on current infection control practices.
A review of the California Department of Public Health All Facilities Letter (AFL), dated 11/4/2020,
indicated, The IP should complete 10 hours of continuing education in the field of [Infection Prevention and
Control] on an annual basis. Facilities should provide encouragement and support for IP staff to stay
abreast of current news and training sources through a nationally recognized infection prevention and
control association.
