right hand but did not know why the resident had it. She stated therapy reported a skin tear on right lower
leg which she dressed and dated. She stated she did not know about the other wounds/skin conditions, but
the wound care nurse would know. Staff A reviewed the resident's EMR (electronic medical record) with
surveyor and confirmed there were no notes or assessments from wound care nurse.
On 12/20/22 at 12:00 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident #233's Primary Care Physician
(PCP). The PCP stated if a resident had any kind of bandage or dressing, they should be dated, if they
were applied prior to arrival, they should be dated with information obtained during admission. The PCP
stated if they were applied at the facility, the nurse should date them to confirm someone has evaluated and
treated the resident, and document when the treatment was applied. The PCP said, they should be dated
otherwise how would they monitor.
A wound care progress note dated: 12/20/22 at 13:42 read: [skin issue location: Right upper arm x 2

A care plan for Resident #233, dated 12/20/22, indicated a focus skin/ skin risk, initiated 12/20/22 showing
the resident is at risk for skin breakdown, irritation, surgical wound infection, worsening skin issues AEB (as
evidenced by) impaired mobility, Diabetes diagnosis, skin tear to right upper arm and right lower arm. Goal
indicates skin will be intact free of redness, blisters, discoloration by review date. Interventions were
treatment as ordered, monitor for side effects and effectiveness of treatments, inform resident/family and
care givers of any new area of skin breakdown, monitor nutritional status, standard pressure redistribution
mattress and WC(wheelchair) cushion to help prevent breakdown.
On 12/20/22 at 2:02 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN)/ Infection control
and wound care nurse. Staff B stated if they have seen the resident, it should be documented. She stated if
a resident comes in with skin conditions, they are assessed, and orders are put in place upon admission.
Staff B stated she would review the resident's EMR.
A follow -up interview was conducted with Staff B on 12/20/22 at 3:39 p.m. Staff B stated she spoke with
the wound care nurse who saw the resident today [12/20/22] and noted the skin tears and assessed the
wounds. She stated the nurse had done an initial skin check, noting the skin tears, had changed the
dressings, but could not remember if they were dated or not. Staff B was shown photographic evidence
related to the undated dressings and bandages. Staff B stated she did not know about the bandages on the
right and left hand. She stated she could not confirm if the admitting nurse opened the dressings on the
right hand and redressed and forgot to date or not. She confirmed they did not have physician orders prior
to today. Staff B stated typically the admitting nurse would notify wound care there is a skin tear or wound
so they can assess the patient. Staff B said, the expectation would have been to assess the resident upon
admission and contact the physician and obtain orders to treat it. Staff B confirmed the resident came in
with skin conditions that were not assessed or treated per their policy. Staff B stated she would follow up
with the admitting nurse and figure out what went wrong. Staff B stated someone should have dated the
dressings per their policy.

through to 9:02 a.m. there were no visits from staff to check on Resident #27 during the meal. The tray was
removed from the room at 9:02 a.m. There were no staff visits for one hour and three minutes during this
meal service.
On 12/20/2022 at 1:15 p.m. Resident #27's room was visited. While entering the room, Resident #27 was
observed lying in bed with the head of the bed at approximately 45 degrees. She was observed with the
over the bed table placed in front of her and the lunch meal tray positioned in front of her. Resident #27 was
observed with her right hand and arm positioned under the covers. The left hand and arm were placed on
top of the covers. The lunch meal tray was observed with two plates. One plate had a chicken salad
sandwich, at regular consistency. The other plate had mechanical textured baked potato, bowl of soup, and
vegetables. The plate lid was observed on the left side of the table and the silverware placed inside the lid.
The resident was not be able to reach the silverware from the position she was lying in. A bowl of soup was
observed to not have a spoon in it and no spoons were observed within reach of the resident. The sandwich
appeared to have several bites from it, but other food items ,that required a spoon or fork, were not
touched. Resident #27 was not able to speak related to her care and or services. At 1:39 p.m. Resident #27
was still noted in her room, with the meal in front of her and with no staff direction on where her silverware
was located. She was not able to eat her soup or other non hand held items. At 1:50 p.m. Resident #27 was
observed in bed with eyes closed and her lunch meal tray still in front of her. No staff had visited her to
provide supervision or assistance since at least 1:15 p.m. At 1:54 p.m. Staff E, CNA was observed to walk
in the room and remove the meal tray minus the plate with the sandwich. He indicated the resident was still
working on the sandwich but was not eating anything else. The tray he was putting back revealed most of
her non sandwich items not touched. Staff E confirmed Resident #27 would only be eating the sandwich.
He stated he did not know if Resident #27 required any assistance or supervision for meals because the
resident is not on my assignment and I am just helping picking up trays. Resident #27 was not visited from
staff or checked/supervised with eating from 1:15 p.m. through to 1:54 p.m., over forty-nine minutes.
On 12/21/2022 at 7:46 a.m. the breakfast meal cart arrived on the floor. At 7:51 a.m. Staff K, CNA was
observed to take the tray from the cart and bring it to Resident #27's room and set the tray on the over the
bed table. The over the bed table was positioned over the resident as she was seated upright in bed.
Resident #27 was awake, and ready to receive her breakfast meal. Staff K removed the plate lid and the
meal consisted of two waffles soaked in syrup, and chopped sausage pieces. Staff K set up the plate guard
and took out plastic eating utensils and placed them within the resident's left hand/arm reach. The right
hand and arm were positioned on her lower body, under the covers. Staff K left the room at 7:53 a.m. after
completing set up. No staff were observed to return to the room to supervise the meal for Resident #27 until
8:26 a.m. Staff M, CNA stated she came in the room to check on the resident and she had not been in
there since she was served and set up with her meal from by Staff K and Staff M. Staff K and Staff M,
stated during an interview, Resident #27 had a contracture on her right arm and she only uses her left hand
to eat. They both confirmed the resident does require some supervision and some cueing during meals.
They both stated when they set up the meal tray, they appropriately place the plate guard on the far end of
the plate, and place eating utensils on the left side of the tray/plate for the resident to easily reach. An
interview with the floor nurse, Staff L, revealed she knows Resident #27 and has her on her assignment
routinely. She confirmed Resident #27 has a contracted right arm and she only uses her left hand during
activities of daily living (ADL) tasks to include eating. Staff L stated Resident #27 does use her left hand
and grabs at food at times and does not use her utensils. Staff L, Staff K, and Staff M all stated Resident
#27 was to be set up and provided supervision during

On 12/22/2022 at 9:00 a.m. an interview with Minimum Data Set (MDS )Coordinators Staff C and Staff I
revealed they knew of Resident #27 and what her care needs were. They both confirmed Resident #27 has
a right hand/arm contracture and does not use her right hand/arm for any ADL tasks. Both Staff C and I
confirmed Resident #27 does not eat with her right hand at all and currently staff are to set up the tray,
assist with cutting food items if needed, and set up hydration for her as well. MDS Coordinator Staff I
indicated she was more familiar with Resident #27 and an interview was continued with her. Staff I
explained Resident #27 has had a decline in Eating ADL activities recently and confirmed in the Significant
Correction MDS assessment dated [DATE], Resident #27 was assessed at Independent with Set up
assistance only. She further confirmed the most recent Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] shows a
decline with Eating ADL with Resident #27 now requiring Supervision with One person physical assist. Staff
I revealed the reason for the decline is because there were several days during the assessment period
CNAs documented supervision with assist for Eating. She revealed even if the CNAs documented one time
during the assessment period of the decline, they would also need to reflect that in the MDS to show the
decline. Staff I revealed the expectations and interpretations for Supervision, with One person physical
assist, means for staff to serve and set up the meal tray, set up any items so the resident could self feed,
pour drinks into cups if need be, place silverware within reach of the resident. Staff I revealed it would be
expected staff return to the room frequently as part of supervision. Staff I stated frequently meant perhaps
every fifteen minutes or so, depending on the need of that meal service. Staff I confirmed over an hour and
near an hour of staff not returning to the room would not be an acceptable time frame to visit for
supervision. She confirmed staff should have visited more frequently. MDS coordinators I and C were
informed Resident #27 had her silverware placed on the right side of the tray and plate, and out of reach
from her left hand. They were also informed the resident had to resort to picking up mixed vegetables and
mashed potatoes with her left hand rather than an eating with utensil. Staff I and C stated that was
unacceptable and though she could use her left hand to pick up the sandwich, she should have been more
supervised so staff could assist with eating utensils placed in a reachable area.
On 12/22/2022 at 9:20 a.m. an interview with the first floor unit manager Staff B revealed she had Resident
#27 on her assigned floor and knows the resident and her care and service needs. Staff B confirmed
Resident #27 has been at the facility for a few months and she has been assessed with a right hand/arm
contracture. She further stated Resident #27 does not use her right hand/arm for ADL tasks to include
eating. Staff B stated staff should have visited more frequently and confirmed the silverware should have
been placed on the left side of the tray and not the right. Unit Manger Staff B confirmed Resident #27 would
not have been able to reach the silverware with her left hand, when placed on right side of the tray. Staff B
explained on 12/19/2022 and 12/20/2022 there were staff on the unit who generally do not work the unit
and they did not know Resident #27 and her eating needs, to include supervision.
Staff B nor the Nursing Home Administrator provided a policy and procedure related to resident supervision
while eating for review.

depression. Start date: 12/6/22; Xanax tablet 0. 25mg (Alprazolam). Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as
needed for anxiety for 14 days. Start date: 12/5/22. End date: 12/19/22.
A review of the MAR, Dated 12/2022, revealed no behavioral monitoring, or monitoring for medication
side-effects, or effectiveness.
A review of Resident #183's care plan revealed a focus area, created 12/6/22, for diagnoses of anxiety and
depression per doctor hospital notes, has been prescribed psychotropic medications. Interventions
included: Monitor for side effects and effectiveness; Monitor/report to MD prn side effects and adverse
reactions of psychoactive medications.
An interview was conducted on 12/21/22 at 12:06 p.m. with Staff S, Registered Nurse (RN). When asked
where behavior or side effect monitoring is being charted for residents on psychotropic medication, the
nurse was confused. She stated if there was an issue, they would just create a progress note. She said if it
was bad, they could do a change of condition.
An interview was conducted on 12/21/22 at 1:55 p.m. with Staff T, RN. Staff T stated when a PRN (as
needed) medication is given, the medical record triggers the nurse to enter its effectiveness. She said any
behavior problems would just be put in a progress note.
An interview was conducted on 12/21/22 at 2:04 p.m. with Staff B, RN/Unit Manager (UM.) When asked if
behavior and side effect monitoring is being completed for residents on psychotropic medications she
stated, I don't believe there is an actual form for that. Staff B was observed going through a resident record
that is currently on a psychotropic medication. She even attempted to chart a medication as if it was being
given. She stated the PRN (as needed) medications trigger a follow up for effectiveness but scheduled
psychotropic medications do not. She reviewed the resident's chart to see if behavior or side effects were
documented anywhere else. She confirmed she was unable to find any documentation related to behaviors,
side effects, or effectiveness or psychotropic medications.
A telephone interview was conducted with the Consultant Pharmacist on 12/22/22 at 10:30 a.m. He stated
when a resident is taking a psychotropic drug, staff are looking for a reaction from the drug and stabilization
of the resident. He said they are also looking for behaviors they should get from the drug. He confirmed
there should be documented outcomes on the behaviors. When asked if there should be behavior
monitoring for psychotropic medication he stated, sure, absolutely. He stated I do think staff document if
there is an abnormal behavior, like agitation, but I don't know that they are actually doing more than that.
The Pharmacist also stated he feels like the every shift system becomes a check in the box instead of
documenting when something actually happens, making it not effective. He stated he feels like they
document when there is an issue, but they need a spot that is easily reachable.
A facility policy titled Psychotropic: Unnecessary Drugs, dated 9/2022, was reviewed. The policy stated the
following:
Purpose:
The intent of this policy is each patient's/resident's entire drub/medication regimen is managed and
monitored to promote or maintain the patient's/resident's highest practicable mental, physical, and
psychosocial wellbeing.

Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate
was less than 5.00%. Twenty-five medication administration opportunities were observed, and two errors
were identified for two residents (#25, #7) of five residents observed. These errors constituted an 8.0 %
medication error rate.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Included:
On 12/21/2022 a 9:18 a.m. medication observation was conducted alongside Staff L, Registered Nurse
(RN). She prepared and administered the following medications to Resident #25 Gas relief 80 mg one
tablet, Miralax 17 gram, Lorazepam 0.125 mg, Aspirin enteric coated 81 mg, Docusate 100 mg, Fluoxetine
10 mg, Lasix 40 mg, Metformin 500 mg, Spironolactone 100 mg, Lovastatin 40 mg, and Flonase.
Medication reconciliation revealed Physician order for Simethicone tablet chewable 125 mg give 1 tablet by
mouth with meals for gas dated 07/28/2022.
On 12/21/2022 at 11:00 a.m. an interview was conducted with Staff L, RN, she confirmed she had
administered Resident #25 Gas relief 80 mg tablet. She stated, It was the only dose available
On 12/22/2022 at 10:31 a.m. a phone interview was conducted with the Consultant Pharmacist that stated,
the facility has Simethicone 125 mg and 80 mg He went on to say I don't know why she would administer
the wrong dose.
On 12/22/2022 at 11:45 a.m. Staff L, RN was observed as she entered Resident # 7 bedroom with a
Humalog KwikPen and informed Resident #7 she was due for her insulin injection. The RN attached the
needle to the pen and turned the dose knob to 10 units. Then immediately administered the insulin to
Resident #7 left upper quadrant.
Review of the Physician orders Humalog KwikPen Solution Pen-injector 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Lispro) inject
10 units subcutaneously before meals related to TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITHOUT
COMPLICATIONS dated 04/19/2021.
The facility provided a copy of Insulin Lispro injection 100 units/mL 3 mL single -patient- use pen that did
not contain a date read to Read the instruction for use before you start taking Humalog and each time you
get another KwikPen. There may be new information. Priming your Pen, Prime before each injection.
Priming you Pen means removing air from the Needle and Cartridge that may collect during normal use
and ensures that the Pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too
much or too little insulin. Step 6: To prime your Pen, turn the Dose knob to select 2 units. Step 7: Hold your
pen with the Needle pointing up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top. Step 8:
Continue holding your Pen with the needle pointing up. Push the Dose Knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen
in the Dose Window. Hold the Knob in and count to 5 slowly. You should see insulin at the tip of the needle.
If you do not see insulin, repeat priming steps 6 to 8, no more than 4 times. If you still do not see insulin,
change the needle and repeat the priming steps 6 to 8.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to 1) Ensure one of one kitchen dish
washing machine was running effectively during one of four days observed on (12/19/2022); and 2) Ensure
three of three walk in/reach in freezers with food items inside, were free from heavy ice and frost build up
during two of four days observed (12/19/2022, and 12/21/2022).
Findings included:
1) On 12/19/2022 at 9:20 a.m. the kitchen was toured with the facility's Registered Dietitian. The Registered
Dietitian revealed the Dietary Manager would not be available during the length of survey and she would be
the contact person for all kitchen and dietary questions. The Registered Dietitian was asked to tour the
kitchen and she accommodated. The Registered Dietitian was asked if they were in process of washing
dishes and she indicated they had already started using the machine this morning and was currently still in
process of washing dishes. The Registered Dietitian revealed the facility had a High Temp dish washing
machine and the staff to include Kitchen aides N, O, and P were in process of running it.
Observations revealed Staff N. was standing to the left side of the machine and was inserting crates of
soiled dishes to be cleaned. Prior to running a crate of dishes, Staff N was interviewed and asked about the
machine. He confirmed the machine was a High Temp dish washing machine and the wash temperature
should reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and above, and the final rinse should reach 180 degrees F and
above. The Registered Dietitian confirmed the type of machine to be High Temp. An interview with the
Registered Dietitian, and Staff N, O, and P all confirmed the machine is maintained by an outside sourced
maintenance company and there had not been any issues with the machine within the past few months.
The Registered Dietitian provided the last two months (11/2022, and 12/2022) of the Dish Machine Log-Hot
Water Sanitizing sheets for review.
An interview with Staff N. revealed he had not tested the wash and rinse temperatures and further
confirmed he and Staff O and P, had been already running crates of dishes through the machine to be
washed. No other employees stated they tested and logged the water temperatures for wash and rinse this
a.m.
The Registered Dietitian and Employees N, O, and P, again indicated the machine had been running
effectively for the past few months and there has not been any times where the machine was running below
wash and rinse requirements.
Further observations of the machine revealed a specifications plate affixed under and near where the
temperature gauge was. The specification plate read, Hot Water Sanitizing; Wash temperature 150 degrees
F. (66 degrees C.) minimum, Rinse temperature 180 degrees F. (82 degrees C.) minimum.
At 9:30 a.m. Staff N was asked to provide a wash/rinse cycle demonstration. Staff N noted the machine did
not need to be primed to ensure required heated water. It was determined per this demonstration that the
wash cycle reached 144 degrees F., and the rinse cycle reached 189 degrees F. per the digital thermometer
on the machine. The wash cycle reached 144 degrees F. and held there for approximately ten seconds until
that cycle ended. Staff N and the Registered Dietitian confirmed the observed wash and rinse
temperatures.

At 9:32 a.m. Staff N ran a second was/rinse cycle demonstration. Staff N pushed through a crate of soiled
dishes and the machine's wash temperature reached 144 degrees F. and held there for approximately ten
seconds until the cycle ended, and the rinse cycle reached 190 degrees F., per the digital thermometer on
the machine.
At 9:40 a.m. a third wash/rinse demonstration was made with Staff N and after he pushed a crate of dishes
into the machine the wash cycle only reached 144 degrees F., and the rinse cycle reached 188 degrees F.,
per the digital thermometer on the machine. Staff N and the Registered Dietitian also confirmed the errant
temperatures. Interviews with Kitchen Staff N, O, and P, and the Registered Dietitian revealed they did not
know why the machine was not reaching the optimum and required wash cycle temperatures and would call
the outside sourced maintenance company to come out and check and repair the machine. The Registered
Dietitian revealed her staff will wash all the previously ran dishes through the three compartment sink and
will continue to use the three compartment sink until the dish machine is looked at and repaired.
In an earlier interview with the Registered Dietitian and Staff N, they both indicated there had not been any
temperature issues with the dish machine in the past three months. A review of the 11/2022 and 12/2022
Dish Machine Log-Hot Water Sanitizing log revealed the following dates with errant temperatures:
1.
November 2nd - Wash 145 degrees F. (after breakfast meal).
2.
November 4th - Wash 147 degrees F. (after breakfast meal).
3.
November 6th - Wash 146 degrees F. (after breakfast meal).

The Registered Dietitian and Staff N, O, and P. confirmed the required wash temperatures and did not know
if the Dietary Manager was aware or not. Staff N, O, and P revealed they log the temperatures but did not
notify the Dietary Manager or Registered Dietitian or Maintenance of the errant temperatures. They also
confirmed most days in November, there was at least one wash cycle that did not reach 150 degrees F. and
above.
The Registered Dietitian provided the last maintenance work orders to include dates 1/8/2022, and the Dish
Machine operations manual for review. She had no other recent work orders from the maintenance
department or the outside sourced maintenance company. The last work order dated 1/8/2022 (over eleven
months ago), revealed tech notes: E2 error removed object from drain and reprogrammed checks ok. There
was no evidence of errant wash and or rinse temperatures during that visit.
On 12/22/2022 at 10:00 a.m. an interview with the Maintenance Director revealed he does not maintain the
machine and an outside sourced company comes out to ensure the machine is running appropriately and
to ensure the wash and rinse temperatures are running per the machine's requirement.
On 12/22/2022 at 10:45 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator provided the facility's Equipment, use of
policy and procedure, with effective date of 3/1/2012. The policy revealed that the facility will reference to
packaged instructions for use of equipment. Policy further revealed, all equipment instruction manuals are
kept in the infection control office or the facilities office. This policy did not include the daily use and wash
and rinse requirement for the dish washing machine. However, review of the manufacturer's dishwasher
operations manual, only included makers specs and features and did not indicate what the required wash
temperature should reach. The manual did include the following: Rinse cycle gallons per rack at 20 psi flow
and to run at 180 degrees F. minimum for hot water sanitizing. Again, the manual did not indicate what the
wash temperature requirements. The specifications plate affixed to the machine did indicate High
Temperature machine and that wash cycle temperature should reach at least 150 degrees F., and the rinse
cycle temperature should reach at least 180

Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure it had an effective pest
control program during four of four days observed (12/19/2022, 12/20/2022, 12/21/2022, and 12/22/2022).
It was observed the kitchen and first floor main hallways near resident rooms 121 - 134 had many small
knat-like insects flying around.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
On 12/19/2022 at 9:30 a.m. during the initial kitchen tour, on 12/21/2022 at 1:30 p.m. during the
comprehensive kitchen tour, the dish washing machine area and near food preparations stations near the
hand washing sink were observed with ten to fifteen small knat like flying insects flying around the room.
The area in the dish washing machine room near the floor drain and near the soiled dishes were observed
with many flying knat like flying insects. Interview with Kitchen Staff N, and while he was swatting the
insects away from his face, confirmed the insects and indicated they have been there a few days but could
not remember when they were first spotted. Kitchen Staff O, and P, as well as the Registered Dietitian
confirmed the small flying insects and could not say where they originated from and how long they have
been in the area.
On 12/19/2022 at 12:30 p.m. the first floor nurse station and hallway with rooms 121 - 134 were observed
with approximately ten small knat like flying insects flying in, at and around the nurse station, the main
hallways and also in the first floor lounge area.
On 12/20/2022 at 7:30 a.m. 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. the first floor nurse station and main hallways and
lounge area near hall with rooms 121 - 134 were observed with over five small knat like flying insects flying
around these areas.
At 10:00 a.m. interview with Nurse Staff G confirmed various flying insects at and around the first floor main
hallway near the unit station and did not know exactly when they were originally started in that area.
On 12/21/2022 at 7:15 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. the first floor nursing station was observed with over five small
knat like flying insects. As residents were being assisted in this area while in wheelchairs, the flying insects
would fly in the resident's general face area and were swatting them away.
On 12/21/2022 at 12:38 p.m. The first floor main hallway accessing rooms 121 - 134, the first floor nursing
station and the lounge room were observed with four to five small knat like flying insects.
