reprisal from the facility.
§483.10(b)(2) The resident has the right to be
free of interference, coercion, discrimination,
and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or
her rights and to be supported by the facility in
the exercise of his or her rights as required
under this subpart.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, medical
record review, facility document review, and
facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
care and promote dignity and respect for one of
26 final sampled residents (Resident 43) and
one nonsampled resident (Resident 18).
* Resident 43's braided hair was cut off by a
CNA against Resident 43's will while providing
care for Resident 43. This resulted in Resident
43 becoming tearful and not wanting to leave
her room because her hair had been cut off.
* The facility failed to answer Resident 43 and
18's call lights in a timely manner. This
resulted in Residents 43 and 18 becoming
distressed, disturbed, and upset when they had
to sit in wet, soiled diapers for long periods of
time.
These failures lead to the residents and family
members feeling devastated and frustrated.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P title Concern &
Comment Program dated 2/2007 showed if the
concern is of major importance, the staff should
contact the Administrator, DON, or designee as
soon as possible. The Concern & Comment
Form is routed to the Administrator or
designee, and to the appropriate department

clean diapers were observed on top of
Resident 18's bedside table. When Resident
18 was asked why he had another diaper
inside his diaper, Resident 18 stated he put
another diaper inside his diaper so he would
not wet the bed when the CNAs could not
change him. Resident 18 stated he felt
disturbed and upset.
On 05/15/18 at 0848 hours, an interview was
conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated she was
aware Resident 18 put another diaper inside
his diaper. CNA 4 stated Resident 18 was alert
and oriented.

§483.10(c)(7) The right to self-administer
medications if the interdisciplinary team, as
defined by §483.21(b)(2)(ii), has determined
that this practice is clinically appropriate.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, medical
record review, and facility document review, the
facility failed to determine if it was safe for one
of 26 final sampled residents (Resident 100) to
self-administer medications. This had the
potential for Resident 100 to administer
medications inaccurately.
Findings:
On 5/8/18 at 0905 hours, an observation was
conducted of Resident 100. SSA 1 was
observed taking out a clear plastic bag with eye
drops from Resident 100's bedside drawer.
On 5/8/18 at 0939 hours, an interview was
conducted with Resident 100. Resident 100
was asked about the eye drops. Resident 100

initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 100 was admitted
to the facility on 4/7/18, with diagnoses
including glaucoma (a condition in which the
optic nerve could be damaged due to increased
pressure in the eye).
Review of the History and Physical
Examination form dated 4/8/18, showed
Resident 100 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 100's physician's orders
showed an order dated 4/7/18, to administer
dorzolamide (eye drops to treat glaucoma ) eye
drops to the left eye twice a day for
glaucoma/eye pressure. Another order dated
4/11/18, showed per the resident's request, the
eye drops may be kept at the bedside and selfadminister dorzolamide ophthalmic solution to
left eye two times per day and sodium chloride
one drop to the right eye.
Further review of Resident 100's physician's
orders showed an order dated 4/12/18, to
discontinue the order for the resident to have
the eye drops at the bedside.
Review of the Medication Administration
Record dated 4/18, showed Resident 100 was
scheduled to receive the dorzolamide
ophthalmic solution eye drops at 0900 and
1700 hours. Further review of the Medication
Administration Record dated 4/18, showed an
entry "may have eye drops at bedside per
patient's request."

§483.10(e)(3) The right to reside and receive
services in the facility with reasonable
accommodation of resident needs and
preferences except when to do so would
endanger the health or safety of the resident or
other residents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to meet the
needs for one of four nonsampled residents
(Resident 36) by failing to ensure the resident
was able to turn his room light on and off per
the resident's needs and preferences. This
failure had the potential to decrease the
resident's mental, physical and psychosocial
well-being.
Findings:
Review of Resident 36's medical record was
initiated on 5/15/18, and showed the resident
was readmitted to the facility on 12/4/17.
On 5/15/18 at 0845 hours, Resident 36 was
observed and interviewed. Resident 36 was
lying in bed, awake, and alert. He was able to
answer simple questions appropriately.
Resident 36's room was dark and the window
blinds were closed. The light switch near the
bedroom door did not activate any room lights
when turned on. Resident 36 was asked if he
could turn on the light located above his bed.
Resident 36 was observed attempting to reach

" ...they (staff) always leave me in the dark."
Resident 36 stated he wished he could turn the
light on and off when he wanted.
On 5/15/18 at 0850 hours, CNA 6 was

(iii) Post notice of the availability of such
reports in areas of the facility that are
prominent and accessible to the public.
(iv) The facility shall not make available
identifying information about complainants or
residents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and facility document
review, the facility failed to ensure the results of
the most recent surveys (complaint
investigations) were located in a place readily
accessible to the residents and the public. The
facility also failed to ensure the residents'
identifying information was not made available
to the public. This posed the risk for residents,
their families, and visitors not being able to
examine the most recent survey results without
having to ask facility staff, and violation of the
residents' rights to privacy.
Findings:
On 5/15/18 at 1345 hours, a white binder
containing survey results was observed on the
wall by the facility's front desk. The binder
contained the last recertification survey results.
Review of the binder showed the confidential
resident roster was inside the binder. The
binder did not contain the results from the
abbreviated surveys dated 6/22, 7/10, 8/9,
10/25, 10/31/17, and 3/21, 4/6 and 4/19/18.
On 5/15/18 at 1404 hours, an interview was
conducted with the Administrator and Assistant
Administrator. The Administrator and Assistant
Administrator were informed and
acknowledged the findings.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, medical record review, and
facility P&P review, the facility failed to inquire
about the existence of advance directives and
failed to provide and document in the medical
records information regarding the rights to
formulate the advance directives for two of 26
final sampled residents (Residents 54 and
382). This had the potential for the residents'
decisions regarding their health care and
treatment options not being honored.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance
Directives dated 2/2018 showed residents will
receive information regarding formation of
advance directives upon admission. For
residents who have executed advance
directives, the social worker will request a copy
to include in the resident's medical record and
document this information in the social services
progress notes.

initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 382 was admitted
to the facility on 4/9/18, and readmitted on

Review of the POLST dated 4/11/18, showed
Resident 382 had the capacity to understand

stated, since being admitted to the facility, no
one had inquired if she had an advance
directive.
On 5/10/18 at 1412 hours, an interview and

readmitted to the facility on 3/28/18.
Review of the History and Physical
Examination form dated 3/29/18, showed
Resident 54 had the ability to make his own
medical decisions.
Review of Resident 54's medical record
showed an undated POLST. The section
under Information and Signatures, to document
if the availability of an advance directive was
discussed with the resident, was left blank.
Further review of Resident 54's medical record
failed to show a copy of an advance directive.
Review of the Social Services Assessment
dated 3/28/18, under the resident profile
section showed the sections where advance
directive and code status should be
documented were left blank.
Review of Resident 54's MDS dated 4/4/18,
showed the POLST section for advance
directive was not completed.

residents (Residents 54, 62, 100, and 123)
attained and maintained their highest
practicable physical well-being.

verified Resident 54 was lying flat in bed and
stated the resident should always be sitting up
at least 45 degrees. When CNA 5 was asked
why the resident was required to sit up at least
30 degrees, CNA 5 stated Resident 54
coughed a lot if the head of the bed was lower
than 30 degrees.
On 5/14/18 at 1446 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was
conducted with LVN 11. LVN 11 was asked
why Resident 54's head of the bed was
required to be elevated 30 degrees at all times.
LVN 11 stated Resident 54 had a GT with
formula feedings in the past. The sign was to
remind CNA staff to keep the head of the bed
elevated for the formula feedings. LVN 11
reviewed the physician's orders and verified
Resident 54's head of the bed was to be
elevated at least 30 degrees at all times to
keep the intracranial pressure low.

§483.25(b) Skin Integrity
§483.25(b)(1) Pressure ulcers.
Based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident, the facility must ensure that(i) A resident receives care, consistent with
professional standards of practice, to prevent
pressure ulcers and does not develop pressure
ulcers unless the individual's clinical condition
demonstrates that they were unavoidable; and
(ii) A resident with pressure ulcers receives
necessary treatment and services, consistent
with professional standards of practice, to
promote healing, prevent infection and prevent
new ulcers from developing.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary treatments and services to prevent
the worsening of pressure ulcers for one of 26
final sampled residents (Resident 88).
* The facility failed to follow their P&P to
complete a weekly assessment on Resident
88's pressure ulcer. In addition, the facility
failed to show consistent and accurate
documentation of the assessments done for
Resident 88's pressure ulcer. This lack of
consistent and accurate assessment resulted in
the resident's pressure ulcer worsening from
Stage 2 to Unstageable.

to the facility on 3/16/18, and was readmitted
on 5/2/18.
Review of the History and Physical form dated
5/3/18, showed Resident 88 did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
a. Review of the Daily Skin Check Record
dated 3/17/18, showed a diagram of Resident
88's wounds. The diagram showed a Stage 2
pressure ulcer measured 3 cm (length) x 3 cm
(width) at the coccyx (tailbone).
Review of Resident 88's Wound Assessment
failed to show an assessment was completed
on the day of admission, nor the following day,
3/17/18. The initial wound assessment was
dated 3/21/18, showing a Stage 2 pressure
ulcer to the coccyx measuring 3 cm x 3 cm.
There was no wound assessment done on
3/23/18, a week after admission. The Wound
Assessment dated 3/30/18, showed Resident
88 had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer to the coccyx
measuring 6 cm x 5 cm. The wound base was
described as 100% eschar. The entry for
Treatment Response showed "deteriorated."
Review of the Wound Consultant's notes dated

responsible for performing the wound
assessments for Resident 88. LVN 6 stated
the initial wound assessment for Resident 88
was done on 3/17/18; however, she got busy
and was only able to enter her wound
assessment in the computer on 3/21/18. That
was the reason why the measurement and
description of the wounds were the same. LVN
6 stated Resident 88 was referred to the
Wound Consultant for wound management on
3/29/18, due to deterioration of the pressure
ulcer at the coccyx. LVN 6 stated she
measured the wound together with the Wound
Consultant, so their assessments should
match. When asked why her wound
assessment was dated the following day
(3/30/18) and the staging of the pressure ulcer
was different, LVN 6 stated she did not have
time to enter the assessment in the computer
on 3/29/18, but the assessment she entered on
3/30/18, was reflective of the wound
assessment done with the Wound Consultant
on 3/29/18. LVN 6 stated she normally did not
enter her wound assessments on the same day
it was done, depending on how busy she was.
LVN 6 verified there was no wound

Review of the facility's P&P titled Central
Vascular Access Device (CVAD) Dressing
Change revised 5/1/15, showed CVADs
included PICCs and the catheter insertion site
is a potential entry site for bacteria that may
cause a catheter-related infection. Sterile
dressing change using transparent dressings is
performed at least weekly and as needed.
Assessment of the vascular access site is
performed upon admission and during dressing
changes and at least once every shift when not
in use. The length of the external catheter is
obtained upon admission and during dressing
changes. For PICCs, upper arm circumference
10 cm above the antecubital fossa (elbow) is
obtained upon admission and then weekly. If
signs or symptoms of complications are
present, compare the upper arm circumference
to the baseline measurement to detect possible
catheter-associated venous thrombosis (3 cm
increase in arm circumference and edema are
associated with upper-arm deep vein
thrombosis).
On 5/8/18 at 1110 hours, Resident 111 was
observed in bed with a PICC to the right upper
arm. When asked about the PICC, Resident
111's family member who was in the room,
stated the PICC was inserted at the acute care
hospital. Resident 111's family member stated
he visited Resident 111 daily and usually
stayed throughout the day, but had not seen
the nurses assess or clean the PICC site.
Resident 111 stated she did not recall when the
last time the nurses assessed or cleaned the
PICC site.
Medical record review for Resident 111 was
initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 111 was admitted
to the facility on 4/12/18.

According to Lexicomp (a drug resource for
healthcare professionals), the peak serum time
for Norco 5/325 tablets is one hour. The peak
level is the highest concentration of a drug in
the patient's bloodstream.
Review of a physician's order dated 5/3/18,
showed Resident 28 was to be medicated for
pain prior to the wound treatment.
On 5/10/18 at 0908 hours, an interview and
concurrent record review was conducted with
LVN 12. Review of the Controlled or Antibiotic
Drug Record and Pain Flow Sheet for 5/10/18,
showed Norco 5/325 mg, one tablet by mouth
was administered to Resident 28 on 5/10/18, at
0900 hours. The documented pain level at the
time of administration was 6/10 (moderate
pain). LVN 12 stated pain medications given
by mouth were effective 15 to 30 minutes after
administration.
On 5/10/18 at 0916 hours, an observation of
Resident 28's wound treatments was
conducted with LVN 6. Resident 28's wound
treatment was started 16 minutes after the
Norco was administered. During the wound
treatment Resident 28 was observed moaning
on multiple occasions and stated, "I hurt all
over." LVN 6 continued providing Resident
28's wound treatment until 0940 hours (24
minutes) then LVN 6 stated she would contact
the physician regarding Resident 28's pain.
On 5/14/18 at 1352 hours, an interview was
conducted with RN 2. RN 2 stated pain
assessments were conducted before pain
medication was given and 30 minutes to an
hour after the medication was given to evaluate
the effectiveness of the medication. RN 2
stated pain medication should be administered
at least 30 minutes prior to wound care.

§483.25(l) Dialysis.
The facility must ensure that residents who
require dialysis receive such services,
consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, and the residents' goals and
preferences.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and medical
record review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary care and services to attain and
maintain the highest practicable physical wellbeing for two of 26 final sampled residents
(Residents 88 and 123).
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 88's
medications were administered as ordered by
the physician on the days she was out for
dialysis.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 123's
dialysis access sites were assessed accurately.
These had the potential for the residents not
being provided with appropriate care and
treatment, and the possibility of medical
complications.
Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 88 was
initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 88 was admitted
to the facility on 3/16/18, and was readmitted
on 5/2/18, with diagnoses including end stage
renal disease requiring hemodialysis.
Review of a physician's order dated 5/2/18,
showed Resident 88 was to receive dialysis

On 5/9/18, Resident 88 was observed to be out
of the facility during the hours of 0945 through
1535.
Review of the Physician Admission Orders
dated 5/2/18, showed the following orders for
midodrine (medication to increase the blood
pressure) 10 mg, one tablet three times a day
and sevelamer carbonate (medication to
prevent the increase of phosphates) 800 mg,
two tablets three times a day.
On 5/14/18 at 1118 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was
conducted with LVN 7. Review of the
Medication Administration Record for the
month of May 2018 showed the midodrine 10
mg one tablet was to be administered every
day at 0900, 1300, and 1700 hours. The
nursing staff documented the medication was
administered on 5/4, 5/7, and 5/9/18 at 1300
hours, when Resident 88 was out of the facility
for dialysis. However, the medication was held
on 5/11/18 at 1300 hours, because Resident 88
was out for dialysis. The sevelamer carbonate
800 mg, two tablets were to be administered
every day at 0800, 1200, and 1700 hours. The
nursing staff documented the medication was
administered on 5/4, 5/7, and 5/9/18 at 1200
hours, when Resident 88 was out for dialysis.
However, the medication was held on 5/11/18
at 1200 hours, because Resident 88 was out
for dialysis.
LVN 7 verified the above findings. LVN 1
stated the medications scheduled to be given
at 1200 and 1300 hours when Resident 88 was
out of the facility for dialysis were given when
she came back to the facility at 1530 hours,
then Resident 88 received the next scheduled

2. Medical record review for Resident 123 was
initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 123 was admitted
to the facility on 4/6/18, with diagnoses
including end stage renal disease requiring
hemodialysis.
Review of the physician's orders showed an
order dated 4/7/18, to monitor the right and left
upper medial arm AV shunt for signs of
infection every shift.
Review of the physician's order dated 4/6/18,
showed Resident 123 was to receive dialysis
every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at a
dialysis center.
Review of the Medication Administration
Record for the month of May 2018 showed the
left upper arm was to be monitored for bruit
(the sound heard with a stethoscope over the
AV shunt of blood flowing through the shunt)
and thrill (the feel of the blood passing through
the AV shunt); and the LUC was to be
monitored for signs and symptoms of infection
and bleeding. There was no monitoring for the
right upper arm AV shunt.
On 5/8/18 at 1345 hours, Resident 123 was
observed to be out of the facility for dialysis.
On 5/10/18 at 1405 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was
conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated she
assessed the dialysis access site before
Resident 123 left for dialysis today. LVN 5
stated Resident 123's access site was the left
upper arm AV shunt and she assessed for the

for the bruit and thrill by using her fingers. LVN
5 was asked what was the LUC they were
monitoring. LVN 5 reviewed the Medication
Administration Record and stated the LUC was
a mistake and should have been written as
LUA which means left upper arm because that
was where the access site was. LVN 5 stated
Resident 123 had no other access sites.
Review of the Pre/Post Dialysis
Communication form dated 5/10/18, showed
LVN 5 did not assess the access site pre and
post dialysis treatment.
On 5/14/18 at 1447 hours, an interview was
conducted with LVN 7. LVN 7 stated Resident
123's dialysis access site was the catheter at
left upper chest; however, Resident 123 also
had AV shunts to the bilateral upper arms
which were not being used but needed to be
monitored. LVN 7 could not provide
documentation the AV shunt at the right upper
arm was being monitored.
On 5/15/18 at 0745 hours, Resident 123 was

1. On 5/9/18 at 1433 hours, a medication cart
observation was conducted with LVN 8. A
random inspection of the controlled
medications showed Resident 142 had bubble
packs of oxycodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg
tablets and 5-325 mg tablets. Review of the
narcotic count sheet showed one tablet was
taken on 5/9/18 at 0000 hours from both the
oxycodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg tablets
and 5-325 mg tablets by LVN 13.
Review of the physician's orders showed an
order dated 5/4/18 for Percocet 10-325 mg one
tablet by mouth every 4 hours for pain
management; and an order dated 5/8/18, to
discontinue current Percocet order (10-325 mg)
and decrease to Percocet 5-325 mg one tablet
by mouth every four hours.
On 5/9/18 at 1602 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was
conducted with LVN 8. LVN 8 verified Percocet
10-325 mg was discontinued on 5/8/18, and
should have not been administered to Resident
142 on 5/9/18 at 0000 hours. LVN 8 verified
Resident 142 also received the prescribed
dose of Percocet 5-325 mg, one tablet on
5/9/18 at 0000 hours.
Review of the nurses' notes failed to show
documented evidence Resident 142 was
assessed after the medication error was
discovered on 5/9/18.
On 5/16/18 at 1612 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated she
was only informed of the medication error on
5/10/18.
On 5/16/18 at 1710 hours, an interview was

On 5/18/18 at 0810 hours, a telephone
interview was conducted with LVN 13. LVN 13
stated when a controlled medication was taken
from the bubble pack, and the narcotic count
sheet was signed, the medication was given to
the resident.
2. According to Lexi-Comp (a pharmacy
resource for healthcare professionals),
medications which should not be crushed fall
into one of the following categories: Extended
Release Products: The formulation of some
tablets is specialized as to allow the medication
within it to be slowly released into the body.
This may be accomplished by centering the
drug within the core of the tablet, with a
subsequent shedding of multiple layers around
the core. Wax melts in the GI tract, releasing
the drug contained within the wax matrix.
Capsules may contain beads which have
multiple layers which are slowly dissolved with
time.
On 5/10/18 at 0824 hours, a medication pass
observation was conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6
was observed preparing and administering
phenytoin 100 mg extended release capsule to
Resident 333. LVN 6 opened the capsule and
mixed the contents with apple sauce and
administered the mixture to Resident 333.
Review of the medication label showed the
medication should not be chewed or crushed.
LVN 6 verified the above findings and stated
she should not have crushed the medication.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, medical record review, and
facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
dental services to one of 26 final sampled
residents (Resident 126). The facility failed to
ensure Resident 126 received an emergency
tooth extraction as recommended by the
dentist. This posed the risk of not addressing
the resident's dental needs, which could
contribute to potential malnutrition.
Findings:
On 5/8/18 at 1229 hours, an observation and
interview was conducted with Resident 126.
Resident 126 stated she had a loose tooth on
the bottom left side of her mouth and pointed to
it. Resident 126 stated social services was
responsible for setting up her dental
appointment. However, Resident 126 stated it
had been two weeks already and she did not
know when her appointment would be.
Resident 126 stated she could only chew food
on the right side of her mouth.
Medical record review for Resident 126 was
initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 126 was admitted
to the facility on 7/29/16.
Review of the Dental Notes dated 4/23/18,
showed Resident 126 had a very loose tooth
and had discomfort, pain, and sensitivity. The
Dental Notes showed the dentist recommended
an emergency tooth extraction.
On 5/9/18 at 1000 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was
conducted with SSA 2. SSA 2 was asked if
Resident 126 had an appointment for the
emergency tooth extraction. SSA 2 stated she
had not heard back from the dental office, but
contacted them on 5/8/18. SSA 2 was unable

Review of the kitchen cleaning schedule
provided by the facility for the months of March
and April 2018 showed the can opener was to
be cleaned by all staff after each use. For the
entire month of March 2018, the cleaning
schedule did not have a signature to show the
can opener was cleaned. The cleaning
schedule also showed the plate warmer was to
be cleaned after each use. The signatures
showed the plate warmer was cleaned almost
every day for the months of March, April, and
May 2018; however, the observation showed it
was not cleaned. The dry storeroom, including
the walls, light switch covers, walk-in freezer,
and dome drying rack were not included on the
cleaning schedule. Cross reference to F812.

4. Review of the facility's P&P titled Safe Food
Handling revised 11/11/16, showed, "The
following foods are cooked to these internal
temperatures: Poultry ... 165 [degrees] for 15
seconds."
On 5/9/18 at 1130 hours, during the trayline
food service, a concurrent observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with Cook
1 and the DSS. Cook 1 confirmed he took one
temperature of the chicken when it was placed
on the trayline. The temperature on his
thermometer measured 187˚ F. The surveyor
noted he measured the temperature of a
chicken breast by inserting his thermometer in
the edge of the breast, not in the thickest part.
The temperature of the chicken was measured
at the thickest part to check for accuracy. The
surveyor's calibrated thermometer read 159.4˚,
161˚, and 162˚ F for three separate pieces of
chicken with the thermometer inserted in the
thickest part. When Cook 1 was asked where
the thermometer should be placed in the
chicken, Cook 1 stated the thermometer should
be placed in the middle of the pan. When the
DSS was shown the temperature of the chicken
was 159.4˚ F, it was okay because other parts
of the chicken were at a higher temperature.
On 5/10/18 at 0955 hours, an interview was
conducted with RD 2. RD 2 stated she

Assistant Supervisor was asked how he knew
how to clean the juice machine properly, he
shrugged his shoulders.
Review of the manufacturer's manual found
online showed the juice machine was to be
cleaned daily using a two part procedure. For
the rinse procedure, the product container was
to be removed from the machine and an empty
container was to be placed under the
dispensing nozzles. Each nozzle was to be
turned on until clear water flows. Then the
product containers were to be reconnected.
For the second step of the cleaning procedure,
the nozzles and drip tray cover were to be
cleaned with a brush using a mild detergent. A
brush and mild detergent was to be used to
clean the dispense area where the nozzles
were removed, then rinsed.
The Dietary Assistant Supervisor did not
demonstrate or verbalize he did any of the
above steps for cleaning the machine.
7. Review of the information plate attached to
the dish machine showed "Hot Water Sanitizing
... 180 [degrees] F Minimum Final Rinse
Temperature ..."
On 5/9/18 at 1020 hours, an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with Dish
Washer 2 and the DSS. Dish Washer 2 was
observed washing the dishes in the dish
machine. During the interview, Dish Washer 2
stated he was a dish washer for 30 years at the
facility. When Dish Washer 2 was asked what
the final rinse temperature should be, he stated
160° F and then said 170° F was "okay also."
Dish Washer 2 stated he did not know if the
dish machine was a high temperature or low
temperature machine. The DSS was
concurrently interviewed and stated the dish
machine was a high temperature machine.

The DSS acknowledged Dish Washer 2 stated
170° F was an adequate rinse temperature.
The DSS also stated 170° F was an adequate
minimum temperature for the rinse cycle.
When the DSS was shown the information
plate attached to the side of the dish machine
showing the minimum rinse temperature for the
machine was 180° F, the DSS stated he still
thought 170° F was an appropriate minimum
rinse temperature for sanitizing items put

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and facility
document review, the facility failed to ensure
puree, renal (a diet for residents with kidney
disease), and alternate menus were followed
as evidenced by:
* Meal alternates were not prepared as per
menu guidelines.
* Mashed potatoes were not served to puree
diets.
* Puree pasta was not served to renal pureed
diets.
* The facility's emergency menu and
emergency food supply were not available and
consistent.
These failures resulted in residents not
receiving the menu as planned and not having
a choice of an alternate meal, which had the
potential for residents to consume fewer
nutrients resulting in nutrient related disease for
the residents who received food prepared in
the facility's kitchen.
Findings:
Review of the CMS 672 Resident Census and
Conditions of Residents completed by the
facility dated 5/10/18, showed 124 of 130
residents in the facility received food prepared
in the kitchen.

served as written and the Director of Food and
Nutrition Services/Registered Dietitian
documents the substitution on the extended
menu and menu substitution form.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Substitutions
and Alternates revised 11/11/16, showed
alternates are planned at each meal for the
entrée/meat, starch and vegetable.
Review of the facility's diet spreadsheet titled
Menu 3, "Spring/Summer 2018" dated week 3,
day 11 showed the alternate menu was oven
fried fish, sauce of choice, seasoned beans,
and confetti coleslaw for the lunch meal.
On 5/9/18 at 1215 hours, an observation of the
lunch trayline was conducted with Cook 1 and
the DSS. The meal tray for Resident 123
contained an egg salad sandwich and a 4
ounce cup of fruit cocktail. Resident 123 was
not provided with a vegetable on her tray. The
tray card showed the resident was to receive a
"Regular Texture, Lib [liberal] Renal..." diet.
When asked why the resident received an egg
salad sandwich, Cook 1 stated because the
resident did not like beef or chicken. When
asked what the alternate menu was, Cook 1
stated he prepared chicken. When asked
about the alternate menu on the diet
spreadsheet, Cook 1 stated he did not follow
the spreadsheet but followed a different
alternate menu. The DSS stated Cook 1 should
have followed the posted diet spreadsheet for
the alternate menu. The DSS provided a list
titled Always Available Menu and Cook 1 stated
he used to select the lunch alternate.
Review of the undated document provided by
the DSS titled Always Available Menu showed
the list did not include therapeutic diets and did
not include chicken.

On 5/10/18 at 1000 hours, an interview was
conducted with RD 2. RD 2 confirmed all
menus and spreadsheets signed by the RD
should be followed. RD 2 stated any
substitutions or changes to the menus must be
approved by the RD. RD 2 stated this was an
identified concern on the RD Monthly Facility
Report performed by the RD, and this report
was reviewed with the DSS. RD 2 confirmed
Resident 123 should have received oven fried
fish and confetti coleslaw for lunch. RD 2
confirmed Resident 123's lunch was not
balanced when served without a vegetable.
RD 2 stated the "Always Available Menu" was
for residents who did not like the main entrée or
the alternate entrée; the resident would fill out
this menu prior to meal service. It was noted
there was no documentation showing Resident
123 requested an item from the "Always
Available Menu" for lunch on 5/9/18.
On 5/10/18 at 1150 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DSS. The DSS stated the
alternate menu did not always make sense and
he and the cook decided what alternate to
prepare. The DSS stated he had been
informed by the RD to follow the alternate
menu.

Monthly Facility Visit Report showed an entry

as written in order to meet the nutritional needs
of the residents in accordance with established
national guidelines.
Review of the facility's diet spreadsheet titled

week 3, day 11 showed puree diets received:
puree veal cacciatore, sauce of choice,
mashed potato, puree capri vegetables, puree
bread, margarine, and puree chocolate chip
bar.
On 5/9/18 at 1200 hours, an observation of
puree meal trays during lunch trayline was
conducted with Dietary Aide 2. Four puree
trays were placed in the lunch tray cart without
mashed potatoes or an equivalent starch. The
tray ticket for Resident 20 showed the diet was
"Puree Regular." The tray ticket did not show
Resident 20 had an allergy or dislike to
potatoes. When asked why the tray for
Resident 20 did not contain mashed potatoes,
Dietary Aide 2 went to the stove behind the tray
line and scooped out a portion of mashed
potatoes and added it to Resident 20's meal.
The four puree meal trays placed in the lunch

Review of the loose stack of papers the DSS
identified as the emergency menu included a
faxed copy addressed to RD 1 of an undated
menu titled "[name of another facility]
Emergency Menu." This menu was a six day
plan which included therapeutic diets. The
faxed copies of this menu were illegible for
Days 1 and 4's dinner, Days 3 and 6's dinner,
and Days 3 and 6's lunch. For instance, the
menu items and the portion sizes could not be
deciphered. Other documents included in the
loose stack of papers were an undated
document titled Emergency Menus. This was a
three day menu that did not include therapeutic
diets. There was also an undated document
titled Three-Day Emergency Diet Plan For
Dialysis Residents, an undated document titled
Emergency Menu Addendum Pureed Diets,
and an undated document titled Emergency
Menu Addendum One: Mechanical Soft Diets.
It was noted the three day menu and the
therapeutic diet addendums were not signed by
an RD.
As the concurrent interview and observation
continued with the DSS, it was not clear which
menu in the stack of loose papers the facility
followed. When the surveyor asked the DSS to
clarify, he looked at the papers for a few
minutes then stated the facility followed the six
day menu that was not completely legible. He
confirmed the menu was not legible but stated
it was what the facility used. The DSS
confirmed although the menu showed six days,
the facility only had emergency food on hand
for three days. It was noted this menu was
signed by an RD and a Dietary Manager, but
the DSS confirmed the RD and Dietary
Manager were not staff from this facility. The
menu contained menu items such as tuna
salad and pasta. The DSS confirmed there
were no recipes to show the portion of

When asked for an inventory of the food to
show how much they were to have on hand,
the DSS stated he did not have an inventory.
The DSS stated he did not keep all of the
emergency food in the room designated for
emergency food, but also kept emergency
foods in the dry storeroom commingled with the
food available for daily use. When asked how
many people the menu was planned for, the
DSS' answer was vague. First the DSS stated
it was for 170 licensed beds then he stated it
was for 200 people. The DSS stated he did not
have a nutrient analysis for this menu.
In an interview on 5/10/18 at 0945 hours, the
Administrator stated the emergency food was
only planned for the residents, not staff, family,
visitors or any other persons who could be at
the facility during a disaster.
On 5/10/18 at 1135 hours, an observation of
the emergency food supply and concurrent

menu the DSS stated they did not use.

powdered sugar. The DSS stated the
powdered sugar was in the bin first and then
staff filled the bin with granulated sugar at a
later date. The DSS stated the dates on the
bin were for the granulated sugar and he could
not confirm the expiration date of the powdered
sugar. The DSS stated it was not a problem to
store them together because "they are both
sugar."

§483.70(o)(4) Each LTC facility providing
hospice care under a written agreement must
ensure that each resident's written plan of care
includes both the most recent hospice plan of
care and a description of the services furnished
by the LTC facility to attain or maintain the
resident's highest practicable physical, mental,

Based on interview and medical record review,
the facility failed to ensure a designated IDT
member was responsible for the coordination of
resident care between the facility and the
hospice agency for one of 26 final sampled
residents (Resident 40). This posed the risk for
Resident 40 not receiving necessary care and
services.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 40 was
initiated on 5/8/18. Resident 40 was admitted
to the facility on 3/13/18. Hospice Agency A
provided hospice services to Resident 40.
Review of the Hospice Services Agreement

Based on interview and facility document
review, the facility failed to implement their
action plans including monitoring of the effects
of the plans to achieve and sustain
improvement for two repeated deficient
practices cited at F554 and F880 in accordance
with their POC from the last recertification

Findings:
On 5/15/18 at 1345 hours, an interview and
concurrent facility document review was
conducted with the Administrator and Assistant
Administrator.
The Administrator verified Resident 100 was
found with medications at her bedside, was not
assessed for self-administration of medications,
and a physician's order was not obtained for
self-administration of medication.
The POC submitted to the CDPH, L&C
Program for F554 cited from the last
recertification survey completed on 5/30/17,
showed the assigned managerial leader would
conduct daily room rounds to check and ensure
no medications were left at the bedside, without
meeting their P&P requirements. The unit
managers would conduct weekly audits of the
facility room rounds and findings would be
presented to the monthly Quality Assurance
meeting.

months of November and December 2017 in
the monthly infection control meeting. In
addition, the facility failed to address the use of
antibiotics for residents whose symptoms did
not meet the McGeer's criteria. This posed the
risk of the facility not accurately investigating
and preventing new infections from developing
and an outbreak going unrecognized within the
facility.
* The facility failed to ensure the licensed nurse
performed appropriate wound care treatment
and hand hygiene during wound care treatment
for Resident 62.
* The facility failed to ensure the licensed nurse
performed hand hygiene during wound care for
Resident 100.
Findings:
1. According to the CDC, repeated and/or
improper use of antibiotics was the primary
cause of the proliferation of drug-resistant
bacteria. Each time a person uses antibiotics,
the sensitive bacteria are killed; however,
resistant bacteria may result. These resistant
bacteria may then grow and multiply. When
the antibiotics fail to work, the consequences
include longer lasting illnesses, extended
hospital stays, and the need for more
expensive and toxic medications. Some
resistant infections can even cause death.
On 5/15/18 at 1004 hours, an interview and
concurrent facility document review was
conducted with the facility's Infection Control
Nurse (who is the DSD). The DSD stated the
facility utilized McGeer's Criteria to define
infection surveillance activities. The DSD
stated the licensed nurses completed the
Surveillance Data Collection Form for each
antibiotic ordered. She collected these forms

Review of the Surveillance Data Forms for the
months of March and April 2018 showed the
forms were not completely filled out. The DSD
stated she checked the residents' medical
records for signs and symptoms.
Review of the Infection Prevention and Control
Surveillance Logs from July 2017 through
March 2018 showed the number of infections
reported to the monthly infection control
meetings were inaccurate. For example, for
the month of March 2018, the DSD reported 50
total infections; however, the log showed 52
total infections. For the month of February
2018, the DSD reported a total of 43 infections
with 20 CAIs, 4 HAIs and 5 not meeting
McGeer's criteria but did not account for the
remaining 14 infections. For the month of
January 2018, the DSD reported 43 total
infections; however, the surveillance log
showed 47 total infections, five infections in
January 2018 were included in the February
2018 surveillance log.
Review of the Infection Prevention and Control
Surveillance and the DSD's infection control
report from July 2017 through April 2018
showed the summary of infections for the
months of November and December 2017 were

meeting.
Further review of the surveillance log showed
the following number of HAIs:
- September 2017 - 4
- October 2017 - 9
- November 2017 - 6 (was not reported in the

§483.90(d)(2) Maintain all mechanical,
electrical, and patient care equipment in safe
operating condition.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and facility
P&P review, the facility failed to maintain
essential equipment as evidenced by:
* The freezer temperature was too high.
* The dish machine, walk-in and reach-in
refrigerator doors, kitchen floor, and dish racks
were in disrepair.
These failures had the potential for equipment
not functioning in the way they were intended
and in turn cause contamination of food,
leading to foodborne illnesses for the residents
who received food from the kitchen.
Findings:
Review of the CMS 672 Resident Census and
Conditions of Residents completed by the
facility dated 5/10/18, showed 124 of 130
residents residing in the facility received food
prepared in the kitchen.

An opened box contained soft ice-cream
sandwiches and a large tub of soft rainbow
sherbet. The DSS acknowledged the freezer
temperature was warm. The freezer
temperature documentation log showed the
freezer temperature was 10˚ F at 1000 hours
that morning. Cook 1 stated he informed the
DSS about the freezer temperature that
morning. The DSS confirmed Cook 1 told him
about the high freezer temperature and stated
he contacted the maintenance department
concerning the freezer temperature.

and concurrent interview was conducted with
the DSS. Observation of the area where the
dish machine steam vent went into the ceiling
showed a significant amount bulging paint
coming away from the ceiling around the
circumference of the vent. The ceiling area in
direct contact with the vent showed sheetrock
and paint peeling away, exposing a brownish
colored substance. The DSS stated steam
from the dish machine ruined the ceiling. The
DSS stated he did not know how long it had
been in disrepair.
b. On 5/8/18 at 0910 hours, an observation
and concurrent interview was conducted with
the DSS. Observation of the seal around the
door of the reach-in refrigerator showed it was
coming away in three areas. There was a
piece of cardboard placed at the end of the
track for the door and rubber seal so the door
was not fully closed. The two sliding doors
were very difficult to slide in order to open and
close them. The DSS stated there was no
documentation showing the disrepair of the

§483.90(i)(4) Maintain an effective pest control
program so that the facility is free of pests and
rodents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, facility
document review, and facility P&P review, the
facility failed to maintain an effective pest
control program to prevent the presence of
small flies in the kitchen and janitor's room,
located adjacent to the walk-in refrigerator.
The janitor's room contained a drain with foul
smelling, standing water and multiple drains
were inoperable within the kitchen. These
created an environment for the harboring of
pests and the potential for contamination of the
food prepared in the facility.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pest Control
revised 5/21/04, showed, "The facility will have
a pest contract that provides frequent treatment
of the environment for pests. It will allow for
additional visits when a problem is detected.
