Notice before a transfer to the hospital for one (Resident #59) and/or their representative of three closed
resident records sampled.
Findings included:
A record review of Resident #59's profile sheet revealed that he was admitted into the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses of ventricular tachycardia, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and Type II
Diabetes with hyperglycemia.
Record review revealed a progress dated note dated 07/20/2021(untimed) that read as follows. At 1700
(5:00 p.m.) Patient had an episode of vomiting while in bed, was seen by in house RT (Respiratory
Therapist) at the time due to shortness of breath (SOB), breathing treatment was given and respiration
improved. At 1820 (6:20 p.m.) the resident presented with increased respiration difficulty and O2
saturations of 80% on room air, PRN O2 (as needed) applied. sat(saturation) rose to 95%. Patient had
greater confusion and restlessness.
On 07/20/2021 at 1826 (6:26 p.m.), a Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) was

On 7/23/21 at 8:52 a.m., an observation was conducted. Resident #57 was sitting up in her bed eating
breakfast. She was wearing non- skid socks on her bilateral feet. The sponge boots were not on. Bilateral
lower extremity edema of 3+ was noted. Her feet were not elevated, nor were any sponge boots observed
in the room. In an interview with Resident #57 conducted at the time of the observation, she said they have
never given her any foam boots, just the socks with the skids she is wearing.
Residents Affected - Some
On 7/23/21 at 8:57 a.m., an interview was conducted with Staff D, CNA (certified nursing assistant). Staff D,
CNA said she put a pillow under Resident #57's feet and elevated them while the resident was in bed. Her
feet start swelling toward the end of the day after she had been up a while. Staff D, CNA said the resident
did not have any heel lifts that she knew of.
On 7/23/21 at 12:37 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff E, RN. Staff E, RN said, [Resident #57]
went to the long term care side for a little while. When she came back to this private room she didn't come
back with the sponge boots. She gets up in the morning and stays up most of the time. When she was here
before she was in bed more. If the resident is in bed too much she wants them in the boots. But when she
came back over to this unit she was up more, so the sponge boots 'weren't a priority on her [Staff E] shift.'
She gets skin prep on her heels. She had an area on the left leg I consulted the wound care doctor and it is
better. The right leg looked like she banged it and was swollen, so I called the doctor to see if we need to
rule out a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). During the interview the resident's room was inspected for the
sponge boots and they were not found. Resident #57 was sitting in her wheel chair in the room with shoes
on.
On 7/23/21 at 12:58 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, RN unit manager. Staff B, RN said
specialty equipment came from a company they call and have it delivered. Everybody was responsible for
making sure the equipment came back with the patient when they were transferred from another room. Her
heels have resolved so the sponge boots should have been taken off the orders.
On 7/23/21 at 3:52 p.m., an interview was conducted with the DON, who said, They need to follow the
order.
3. Resident #61 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of cerebral infarction, according to the face
sheet in the admission record.
A review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 4, indicating severe cognitive
impairment.
Review of the care plan dated 10/13/20 reflected a Focus for: the resident has actual/potential altered
respiratory status related to: COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Interventions included
administer oxygen as ordered via O2 (oxygen) concentrator: 2 L (liters) via NC (nasal cannula) continuously
and prn (as needed).
Review of the physician's orders in the electronic medical record revealed an order dated 4/2/21 for oxygen
at 2 liters/minute with humidification as needed every shift related to shortness of breath.
On 7/21/21 at 10:48 a.m., an observation was conducted. Resident #61 was sitting in a wheel chair at the
bed side in his room, wearing a nasal cannula. The setting on the concentrator was three liters.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not ensure proper testing and monitoring
of the dishwasher sanitization solution (chlorine) for the low temperature dish machine used to wash all
resident dishware for the facility.
During a tour of the facility kitchen on 07/22/21 at 10:20 a.m., the low temperature dish machine was
observed. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) was present and performed a wash, rinse, and sanitization
cycle with the machine for a tray of eating utensils used by the residents. He demonstrated use of a pH
(scale of how acid or basic a solution is) testing strip to measure the parts per million (ppm) of the chlorine
sanitizing agent. He placed the strip on the utensils to gather the water that was collected there and
measured the color of the strip against a guide to determine the ppm The test strip result was observed
below 50 ppm and the CDM confirmed that reading. He said the ppm was supposed to be around 100 and
confirmed the reading was not acceptable. He confirmed that kitchen staff were expected to test the pH of
the sanitizer three times a day (breakfast dish cycle, lunch dish cycle, dinner dish cycle). The log for July
2021 was reviewed and revealed all entries for 7/1 - breakfast 7/22 were 100 ppm except the following: out
of service dinner 7/5 breakfast - dinner 7/7; lunch 7/13-7/15 were entered as 120 ppm Photographic

An interview was conducted on 07/22/21 at 11:03 a.m. with the CDM. He said he had called the dish
machine vendor; they had advised changing the chemical bucket and re-priming the machine, but the result
was not improved. He said he primed and completed 4 cycles to no avail and the ppm results for the
sanitizer were still between 25 ppm and 50 ppm He said he had informed the Administrator (NHA) and his
Regional Director of Operations (RDO). He said the NHA was contacting a locksmith to come to the facility
to unlock the machine so he could adjust the sanitization levels. The CDM said that once the machine was
unlocked, he would have the machine vendor talk him through what to do on the telephone. Given that
lunch service needed to begin soon, the CDM said that if he could get the machine fixed in time to re-wash
all the dishware before lunch, he would do that, but if not, he would serve lunch with disposable ware.
Concern was expressed about the dish machine log entries for chemical sanitizer accuracy given the
observation conducted that day and given that he did not have access to adjust sanitizer levels for the
machine. He said, I think your concern is probably correct about that, and said, ultimately the responsibility
falls on me. He said his course of action would be an in-service and said he had not trained the staff himself
on the process for testing and logging chemical sanitization since starting in the position at the facility. He
said, I have not been testing it myself since I've been here .again ultimately the responsibility comes to me.
The CDM said that part of his daily routine going forward would be to test the machine himself and said,
Knowing what I know now I will actually check it myself and watch them do it .I will do it every day until I feel
confident it's being done correctly. He identified that one of the kitchen staff had logged the entry for
7/22/21 breakfast but had left for the day. Lunch on 07/22/21 was served using disposable dishware. At
12:00 p.m. on 07/22/21 the CDM reported he was able to fix the chemical sanitization levels due to gaining
access to locked compartment. pH test revealed in acceptable range close to 100 ppm
A follow-up visit to the kitchen was conducted on 07/23/21 at 9:36 a.m. Staff H, Dietary Aide was
interviewed. She confirmed her usual shift was 6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and she was responsible for washing
dishes and testing and recording chemical sanitization levels. She confirmed she had worked the morning
of 07/22/21 but had left her shift early. Regarding recording the ppm she said, whatever it say we put it on
there .supposed to be 50 at the most. Staff H could not answer why the chemical sanitization was tested,
what the results meant, or what action steps to take depending on the results.
