Resident 6 with regular water (thin liquids)
instead of thickened water (used for people
with difficulty swallowing thin liquids and can
help prevent choking and stop fluid from
entering the lungs) as ordered by the physician.
This failure had the potential to cause health
complications for the resident.
Findings:
Review of Resident 6's clinical record indicated
she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses
including Parkinson's disease (disorder of the
nervous systems that affects movement and
can cause tremors) and dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing).
Review of Resident 6's physician orders
indicated she had a diet order, dated 3/25/17,
which included nectar thick liquid consistency.
During medication pass observation on 8/2/17
at 4:10 p.m., licensed vocational nurse H (LVN
H) prepared one medication for Resident 6 and
dissolved the medication in water.
During a concurrent interview, when asked if
Resident 6 can drink thin liquids, LVN H stated
that Resident 6 does not need thickened water
and she does well with regular water. LVN H
held the cup of water and medication to
Resident 6's mouth. Resident 6 slowly sipped
the water with medication and coughed multiple
times.
During an interview on 8/2/17 at 4:25 p.m., the
registered dietician (RD) stated that staff
should not give regular thin liquids to Resident
6. She stated any water given to Resident 6
should be thickened water.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review the facility failed to provide necessary
care and services consistent with the
comprehensive plan of care for two of 10
sampled residents (5 and 8). For Resident 5, a
fall intervention was not implemented. For
Resident 8, the assessment of an AV fistula
(connection made between an artery and a
vein to create an access for dialysis [a medical
procedure using special machines to filter
waste and excess water from the body]) and
intake and output monitoring were not
consistently done. These failures had the
potential to affect the residents' health and
safety.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 5's clinical record
indicated she had diagnoses including
osteoporosis (bone weakness) and dementia.
Review of Resident 5's Situation Background
Assessment Recommendation (SBAR)
Communication Form (communication tool) and
progress notes, indicated she fell on 4/15/17.
Review of Resident 5's Morse Fall Scale (an
assessment tool that can predict the likelihood
that a person will fall), dated 4/15/17, indicated
her score was 75. A score of 45 and higher
indicated a high risk for falls.
Review of Resident 5's fall care plan indicated
an intervention to put a star label on the door to
alert staff that the resident is a high fall risk.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to implement the
intervention of placing a wheelchair alarm to
prevent falls for two of 10 sampled residents
(Resident 4 and Resident 6). These failures
resulted in a fall, scalp laceration that required
staples and hospitalization for Resident 4, and
recurrent falls and the potential for injury for
Resident 6.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 4's clinical record
indicated she had diagnoses of dementia
(decline in mental capacity affecting daily
function) and history of falling.
Review of Resident 4's Morse Fall Scale (an
assessment tool that can predict the likelihood
that a person will fall), dated 10/24/16,
indicated her score was 90. A score of 45 and
higher indicated a high risk for falls.

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to maintain safe and

flies were found in the dry storage area; one
onion with black powdery material was found
with several fresh onions in a plastic container;
and several soft overripe bananas with black

in locked compartments under proper
temperature controls, and permit only
authorized personnel to have access to the
keys.
(2) The facility must provide separately locked,
permanently affixed compartments for storage
of controlled drugs listed in Schedule II of the
Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and
Control Act of 1976 and other drugs subject to
abuse, except when the facility uses single unit
package drug distribution systems in which the
quantity stored is minimal and a missing dose
can be readily detected.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure safe and
secure medication storage. This failure had the
potential for residents, staff and visitors to
access medications.
Findings:
During a medication pass observation on
8/2/17 at 7:40 a.m., licensed vocational nurse K
(LVN K) removed a medication from the
medication cart and went into a resident's room
to administer the medication. LVN K did not
lock the medication cart.
During a concurrent interview, LVN K
confirmed the medication cart was left unlocked
and out of sight. LVN K stated the cart should
be locked.
Review of the facility's 4/2017 policy,
"Administering Medications," indicated during
administration of medications, the medication
cart is kept closed and locked when out of sight
of the medication nurse.

(e)(1)(ii) Measure at least 80 square feet per
resident in multiple resident bedrooms, and at
least 100 square feet in single resident rooms;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide 80 square
feet per resident in three rooms (6, 7, and 10).
Each room was occupied by four residents.
Having less than 80 square feet per resident
could potentially compromise the care and
services the residents receive in the facility.
Findings:
During the initial tour, on 8/1/17 at 9:00 a.m.,
Rooms 6 and 7 were observed with four
residents and Room 10 was observed with four
beds with three residents.
The residents' bedroom measurements were
as follows:

During observations and staff and resident
interviews throughout the survey, there were no
care issues identified regarding the size of
resident rooms. The residents and staff
verbalized no complaints or concerns regarding
space and privacy.
Recommend renewal of room waiver to
continue.
