What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to identify significant weight loss and provide nutritional interventions in a timely manner for 2 of 6 residents reviewed for nutrition (Resident #12 and Resident #13). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: A review of the facility's policy titled Weight Assessment/Evaluation and Intervention, revised on 11/2021, revealed that Weights will be recorded in the individual's medical record. Any weight change of 5% or more since the last available weight will be retaken for confirmation. If the weight is verified, the nurse will notify the Dietitian. The threshold for significant unplanned and undesired weight loss/gain will be based on the following criteria: One month, 5% of weight loss is significant, and greater than 5% is severe. 3 months-7.5% weight loss is significant, and greater than 7.5% is severe. 6 months- 10% weight loss is significant, and greater than 10% is severe. 1.) A record review showed that Resident #12 was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of Heart Disease, Hemiplegia, and Spinal Stenosis. The Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview of Mental Status score of 15, which indicated the resident is cognitively intact. A review of the weight log for Resident #12 showed the following: On admission dated 11/8/24, a weight of 189.2 pounds was recorded. On 11/20/24, a weight of 177.8 pounds was recorded. On 11/26/24, a weight of 175.4 pounds was recorded. On 01/23/25, a weight of 160.6 pounds was recorded. The above weights showed a severe 6% weight loss from 11/8/24 to 11/20/24, a severe weight loss of 7.3% from 11/8/24 to 11/26/24, and a 15.1% severe weight loss from 11/8/24 to 01/23/25. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In an interview conducted on 02/10/25 at 11:30 AM, Resident #12 stated that he came into the facility with a Pressure Ulcer, which gotten worse in the hospital. He has lost weight from around 175 pounds to 160 pounds and said that he did not like the meals provided at times but liked his breakfast meal every morning. His family brings food from home for lunch and dinner. He also receives Ensure (a nutritional supplement) twice daily and drinks them all. Residents Affected - Few In an interview conducted on 02/11/25 at 3:00 PM with Resident #12, he stated that he did not eat his grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and asked for a ham and cheese sandwich. He said that he gets Ensure for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, he only eats his cereal, orange juice, bacon, and coffee and does not like any eggs. He drinks one can of Ensure for breakfast for extra protein. The Initial Nutrition Evaluation dated 11/11/24 revealed the following: Resident #12's estimated caloric needs between 2580-3010 calories and 107.5-129 grams of protein a day. A stage 4 pressure ulcer was noted in the sacrum area, and unstable deep tissue injury to the left foot. In this note, it was recommended to provide Expedite (protein supplement) 60 milliliters (ml) daily to provide an extra 100 calories and 10 grams of protein. The subsequent follow-up nutritional note dated 11/29/24, which was 9 days after the 6% severe weight loss was identified, showed the following: Resident with Usual Body Weight history of 175 pounds to 201 pounds and intake of meals varies from 25% to 100% of meals. It was noted that Resident #12 was receiving Expedite 60 ml once daily, and Ensure once a day was recommended for nutritional support. Resident #12 was eating 50% of the average intake of his meals, which is likely not sufficient to meet increased energy needs. A follow-up nutritional note dated 12/31/24, which was completed by Staff A, Dietary Technician, revealed the following: Resident #12 triggered for significant weight loss and was eating 76% to 100% of his meals. It was again recommended to add Expedite 60ml to aid in wound healing. A Nutrition/Dietary note dated 01/23/25 indicated that Resident #12 lost 8.4% of body weight in about 2 months. Per medical record, Resident #12 was consuming an average of 1100 calories to 1650 calories a day (50%-75%). It was recommended to increase the Ensure supplement from 1 bottle a day to 2 bottles a day. A review of the Medication Administration Record revealed that Expedite was given from 11/14/24 until 12/12/24 and was never given after 12/12/24. The Care plan dated 10/14/24 showed that Resident #12 has the potential for weight loss related to slow healing and altered nutrition and hydration status. Monitor weight loss of over 5% in one month and 7.5% in 3 months. In an interview conducted on 02/11/25 at 2:18 PM with Staff A, Staff A stated that the Restorative team takes the weights on all residents, and then it is given to her to put into the electronic system. She prints weight loss reports for weekly or monthly weights and can track any significant weight loss. For significant/severe weight loss, she will try to intervene as soon as possible or no later than 48 hours. The weekly weights are done starting on Monday, and that list is given to her by Wednesday, and that is when she looks at them. Staff A reported that she was unsure if Resident #12 was eating well and that she needed to look at the nutritional notes regarding Resident #12. In an interview conducted on 02/13/25 at 9:07 AM with Staff E, the Unit Manager stated that she (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105083 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 13 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105083 B.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few runs a report on residents who need their weekly and monthly weights taken. The report is then given to her staff, who take the weights and write them down on it. That report is then given to the Dietitian to place in the electronic system. 2.) A record review revealed Resident # 13 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Sacral Wounds, Local Infection of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissues, Macular Degeneration and Dysphagia. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment Section C dated 01/10/25, revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 9 indicating fair cognition. Section M revealed 1 stage 3 pressure ulcer, 3 stage 4 pressure ulcers, and 3 stage 4 pressure ulcers present during admission. A review of Resident #13's weights recorded on the Electronic Health Record (EHR) revealed the following: On 02/07/25 158.2 pounds. On 01/13/25 163.0 pounds. On 12/11/24 162.0 pounds. On 11/14/24 167.8 pounds. On 10/03/24 170.0 pounds. A record review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 10/03/24 revealed to offer the resident an evening snack. Additional dietary supplements of Expedite Wound Supplement 60 ml one time a day for wound healing was ordered on 12/31/24. A No Salt Added (NSA) Liquid Protein 30 ml one time a day by mouth, was ordered on 01/14/25. A NSA House shake one time a day, for nutrition support to be given at lunch was ordered on 01/15/25. A review of nutrition progress notes dated 11/25/24 revealed non-significant weight loss may be acceptable at this time due to comorbities, with an added recommendation of Expedite 60 ml (milliliter) once a day, to promote wound healing. Additional record review revealed no nutrition progress notes were documented between 11/25/24 until survey on 02/12/25. In an interview with Registered Dietary Technician, Staff A, on 02/12/25 at 11:45 AM, when asked why there was no dietary or nutrition intervention for the stage 4 wounds and weight loss after resident's readmission on [DATE], she stated she wrote a script for Expedite on 11/19/24, but she did not know why it was not documented in the MAR until 12/31/24. When asked how often she monitors this resident after weight loss, she stated, frequently. She stated she will find the paperwork to support the reason why the order was not written in MAR as soon as she wrote it. Until the last day of the survey, no written notes were given to the surveyor. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 02/13/25 at 10:18 AM, when asked regarding Resident #13's weight loss and wounds, she stated, the resident's wounds are improving, and she only has 5 unhealed wounds.

The scope of practice focuses on food, nutrition, and dietetics practice, as well as related services. NDTRs work under the clinical supervision of an RDN (i.e., nutrition care process and workflow elements applied to direct care).* NDTRs may work independently in providing general nutrition education to healthy populations, consulting to foodservice business and industry, conducting nutrient analysis, collecting data, and conducting research, and managing food and nutrition services in a variety of settings. The scope of practice for each NDTR has flexible boundaries that is defined by the individual NDTR's education, training, credentialing, experience, and demonstrated and documented competence. The majority of NDTRs are employed in health care or public health settings as RDN/NDTR team members working under the supervision of RDNs or as members of RDN/NDTR teams within interprofessional health care teams. As a member of the RDN/NDTR team, the NDTR interacts with health care practitioners (e.g., physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, exercise physiologists, respiratory therapists) and others to obtain and communicate information that contributes to nutrition assessment and assists with implementation and monitoring of the patient's/client's nutrition intervention plan, which is developed and directed by the RDN. RELATIONSHIP OF THE RDN WITH THE NDTR IN DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY NUTRITION CARE As a member of the RDN/NDTR team, the NDTR supports the RDN by providing key oversight and communication concerning delivery of quality person-centered food and nutrition services.* The NDTR and other professional, technical, and support staff work under the clinical supervision of the RDN when engaged in direct patient/client nutrition care activities in any setting. The RDN is responsible for nutrition care assigned to and completed by NDTRs and other staff, and is accountable to the patient/client, employer/organization, and regulator. Additional considerations include state dietitian/nutritionist practice acts and regulations that may define supervision, and if applicable, statutory scope of practice specifications for technical and other assistive staff. Federal and state rules and regulations for health care facilities specify that the qualified dietitian must supervise the nutritional aspects of patient care and provide nutrition assessments and dietary counseling.

F 0801 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident's diet- or nutrition related orders, including when the physician has delegated diet order writing to the RDN. The degree of direction and supervision is determined by the RDN based on the medical and nutritional complexity of the patient/client needs and the training, experience, and demonstrated and documented competence of the NDTR. Direct and indirect supervision of nutrition care services/nutrition care process is when the supervising RDN is available to the NDTR for consultation when it is required. Whether the supervision is direct (RDN is on premises and immediately available) or indirect (RDN is immediately available by telephone or other electronic means) is determined by regulation and facility/program policies and procedures. This description of supervision as it relates to the RDN/NDTR team is not the same as managerial supervision or clinical supervision used in medicine and mental health fields (e.g., peer to peer), supervision of provisional licensees, and/or supervision of dietetics interns and students.* In direct patient/client care, the RDN and NDTR work as a team using a systematic process reflecting the Nutrition Care Process and workflow elements and the organization's documentation system, for example, an electronic health record that uses one of the available standardized terminologies that may incorporate the electronic Nutrition Care Process Terminology (eNCPT). The RDN develops and oversees the system for delivery of person-centered nutrition care activities, often with the input of others, including the NDTR. Patient/client populations include individuals receiving person-centered care who have medical conditions or diseases, as well as at-risk individuals receiving personalized nutrition guidance as part of preventive health care. The RDN is responsible for completing the nutrition assessment; determining the nutrition diagnosis or diagnoses; developing the care plan; implementing the nutrition intervention; evaluating the patient's/client's response; and, also supervising the activities of professional, technical, and support personnel assisting with the patient's/client's care.* RDNs assign duties that are consistent with the NDTR's individual scope of practice. For example, the NDTR may initiate standard procedures, such as completing and/or following up on nutrition screening for assigned units/populations/patients/clients, performing routine activities based on diet order and/or policies and procedures, completing the intake process for a new clinic patient/client, and reporting to the RDN when a patient's data suggest the need for an RDN evaluation. The NDTR actively participates in nutrition care by contributing information and observations, guiding patients/clients in menu and snack selections, monitoring meals/snacks/nutrition supplements for compliance to diet order and providing nutrition education on prescribed diets.
