**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan for 1 of
4 residents reviewed for falls, Resident #43, and failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for 1 of 3
residents reviewed for activities of daily living, Resident #119.
Findings include:
1) During an observation on 10/14/2024 at 9:38 AM, Resident #43 was lying in bed, with one fall mat on the
left side of the bed in place.
During an observation on 10/16/2024 at 4:50 AM, Resident #43 was sleeping in bed comfortably. There
was one fall mat on the left side of the bed.
Review of Resident #43's physician order dated 6/1/2023 read, Floor mats to both sides when resident in
bed every day and evening shift.
Review of Resident #43's care plan initiated on 12/13/2022 read, Focus: [Resident #43's name] is at risk for
falls and/or fall related injury r/t [related to]: generalized weakness . Interventions: Floor mats to sides of
bed.
During an observation on 10/16/2024 at 8:32 AM with Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN), Resident #43 was
lying in bed, with one fall mat on the left side of the bed.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 8:35 AM, Staff C, RN, stated, [Resident #43's name] has orders for
bilateral fall mats when he is in bed. I will have one of the staff members bring one to put down.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Staff are expected to
follow physician orders and the care plan. If it specifies on both sides, then fall mats should be placed on
both sides of the bed.
2) Review of Resident #119's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed that the resident
was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder under Section H- Bladder and Bowel.
Review of Resident #119's physician order showed an order for administration of one Tamsulosin HCl oral
capsule 0.4 mg (milligram) by mouth one time a day for urinary retention.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents received blood pressure
medication as prescribed by physician for 1 of 6 residents reviewed for medication administration, Resident
#125.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #125's physician order dated 3/6/2024 read, Midodrine HCl Tablet 10 MG [milligram],
Give 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours for hypotension, Hold for SBP [Systolic Blood Pressure] greater than

During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 7:12 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I reviewed [Resident
#125's name] medication record. The medication was given out of parameters. The resident recently went
to a cardiology appointment and was fine. It did not have any negative impact on the resident.
During an interview on 10/17/2024 at 2:10 PM, the Medical Director stated, The facility notified me, and I
reviewed the order and revised the parameters. This would not have had a negative effect on the resident's
health. We monitor his blood pressure, and he has been stable.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Medication Administration with the last review date of
1/31/2024 read, Policy: It will be the policy of this facility to administer medications in a timely manner and
as prescribed by the physician, unless otherwise clinically indicated or necessitated by other circumstances
such as lack of availability of medication or refusals of medication by the resident.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from accidents
and hazards when residents were served an inappropriate therapeutic diet for 1 (Resident #45) of 10
residents reviewed for nutrition. Resident #45 had a physician's order for a mechanical soft diet. On
10/15/2024 at 12:20 PM, Resident #45 was sitting in the dining room. Resident #45 requested an
alternative food item from Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse. Staff J went to the kitchen and returned with a
hot dog in a hot dog bun on a plate. Resident #45's diet was not verified in the kitchen. Staff I, Registered
Nurse, stated to Staff J Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Neither Staff I nor Staff J
removed the food item after identifying the error. Staff I again instructed Staff J Resident #45 was not
supposed to have a hot dog. Staff I and Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff K, Certified Nursing
Assistant cut the hot dog in half for Resident #45 to consume. Resident #45 consumed the hot dog.
The facility's failure to provide food in a form to meet the needs of Resident #45 led to the determination of
Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of isolated, (J). The facility's actions placed Resident #45 at a
likelihood of serious harm, such as choking, aspiration (a condition in which foods, stomach contents, or
fluids are breathed into the lungs through the windpipe) and/or death. The Nursing Home Administrator was
notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on November 13, 2024, at 5:25 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on
October 15, 2024, and was removed on site on November 13, 2024.
Cross reference to F805, F835, and F867.
Findings include:
During an observation on 10/15/2024 at 12:20 PM, Resident #45 was sitting in the common dining room.
Resident #45 called Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and asked to have something else to eat than
what had been served to him. Staff J went to the kitchen and returned with a hot dog in a hot dog bun on a
plate. Staff J placed the plate in front of Resident #45 and Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN), stated to Staff J
Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff I mentioned
again Resident #45 should not have a hot dog. Neither Staff I nor Staff J removed the food item. Resident
#45 picked up the hot dog and put it in his mouth. Resident #45 placed the hot dog back down on the plate
without chewing or swallowing any pieces of the hot dog. Staff K, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), came
over and cut the hot dog in half. Resident #45 grabbed one of the halves and placed it in his mouth.
Resident #45 placed the half of the hot dog back down on the plate without chewing or swallowing any
portion of the hot dog.
Review of Resident #45's medical record showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diastolic (congestive) heart failure, generalized
muscle weakness, other reduced mobility, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, metabolic disorder,
adjustment disorder with anxiety, chronic or unspecified gastric ulcer with hemorrhage (excessive bleeding),
disorder of adult personality and behavior, type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications,
gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, and legal blindness.
Review of Resident #45's physician order dated 7/9/2024 read, CCHO [Controlled Carbohydrates] diet,
Mechanical Soft texture, thin consistency [liquids] for nutrition and hydration.

Review of Resident #45's Speech Therapy SLP [Speech Language Pathology] Evaluation & Plan of
Treatment dated 9/30/2023 read, Current Referral. Reason for Referral: Patient referred to ST [Speech
Therapy] due to new onset of decreased oral function, risk for aspiration, decreased functional activity
tolerance and dysphagia [difficulty swallowing] indicating the need for ST to analyze oral/pharyngeal
function, minimize aspiration/risk of, develop & instruct in compensatory strategies, assess and determine
least restrictive diet and design and implement strategies. Resident on a regular diet with thin liquids upon
discharge to the hospital. He returned on a puree diet with thin liquids. Resident exhibiting a significant
weight loss of 15.5% over the last 4 months . Objective tests/measures & additional analysis . additional
analysis: Other: [NAME] [[NAME] Assessment of Swallowing Ability] administered with a score of 176
indicating mild dysphagia; however, resident is exhibiting a severe deficit with oral phase of swallow .
Assessment Summary: Skilled Justification: Reason for Skilled services: Skilled SLP services for dysphagia
are warranted to analyze oral/pharyngeal function, develop & instruct in compensatory strategies, minimize
risk of weight loss with swallow analysis, assess and determine the least restrictive diet and design and
implement strategies in order to enhance patient's quality of life by improving ability to meet primary
nutrition/hydration needs, efficiently consume least restrictive diet, safely consume least restrictive diet,
improve oral transit time and use strategies/compensatory techniques. Risk factors: Due to the documented
physical impairments and associated functional deficits, the patient is at risk for: aspiration and weight loss.
Review of Resident #45's Speech Therapy Treatment Encounter Notes dated 10/10/2023 read, Swallow Tx
[treatment]: instructions in alternating liquids/solids to increase pharyngeal clearance, analysis of
/instruction in presentation techniques to increase safety & nutrition, modification to bolus sizes and
order/method of food/liquid presentation and facilitation of body positioning to increase safety with intake.
Swallow Tx: techniques to improve safe & efficient nutrition/hydration, analysis of diet texture to increase
oral intake, therapeutic trial feedings to increase safety and development & training in use of compensatory
strategies. Trial of mechanical soft consistency presented with modifications to bolus size and rate of intake.
Resident is declining to eat puree diet consistency per nursing. Resident able to consume mechanical soft
consistency without any s/s [signs/symptoms] of deficit in pharyngeal phase of swallow.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 11:53 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, [Resident #45's name] has a
mechanical soft diet. Cutting the hot dog in half does not make it a mechanical soft diet. I am not sure if the
cook said it was okay or not when she [Staff J] went to get it from the kitchen.
During a telephonic interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:13 PM, Staff J, LPN, stated, He [Resident #45] asked me
to get him another plate and I asked him what he wanted. He said maybe a hamburger or something like
that. I went to the kitchen and told the cook I need an alternate and I mentioned his name. The cook, I do
not remember who it was, told me he had no hamburger, and they gave me a hot dog. I brought it out and
[Resident #45's name] started eating the hot dog without a problem. When I turned around the nurse [Staff
I] told me he [Resident #45] could not have a hot dog. I just didn't want to grab his plate. I just froze and
kept looking at [Resident #45's name]. He finished the hot dog without a problem. I did not grab the plate
because I did not want to make a big commotion.
During an interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:28 PM, Staff K, CNA, stated, Residents' diets sometimes change. I
saw him [Resident #45] sitting around and I went to help him out so [Resident #45's name] could start
eating. I thought I cut it in multiple pieces for him to be able to eat it. Cutting the hot dog does not make it a
mechanical soft diet. Usually, they have a ticket. I did not see a ticket next to him. I did not pay more
attention to his meal.

During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 8:44 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, I think I was a little overwhelmed and
had a lot going on and when I told her [Staff J] No, he should not have it [referring to the hot dog meal
served], nothing was done. I assumed she was going to take it away the second time I told her. It was busy.
I would have taken it away, but I was doing a million things reading the tickets and handing out the meals,
and I was just overwhelmed. When I noticed the second time, he [Resident #45] had the meal in front of
him that I told her he should not have. I told her [Staff J] a second time. She turned around and looked at
me and she heard what I said. I assumed she was going to take it from him [Resident #45]. Looking back, I
should have owned it and removed his plate instead of expecting someone to do it. Some potential risk for
the resident would be choking. You can say that about any resident but for him, he is at a higher risk. I
would not say aspiration.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:20 AM Staff R, Speech Therapist stated, If a resident is mechanical
soft, they should not be given a meal outside of their recommendations. There is a possibility of coughing,
choking, and aspiration. Depending on the health status of the person aspiration pneumonia and an
increased risk of hospitalization.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:37 AM, Staff Q, Cook, stated, We were serving the lunch line. A
nurse came in asking for an alternate regular tray. I asked her who it was for and what the diet was. She
said it was a regular diet for the dining room. I finished serving more on the line and remembered she was
still there, and I gave her the hot dog. After that I realized she didn't say who it was for, but she never came
back in, and I finished serving the lunch line. She did not have a meal ticket with her.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:51 AM, the Food Service Director stated, Our procedure is that staff
is informed to ask if they have a diet ticket and if they do not have the diet ticket, we ask for the name and
room number and look in the book. If they are not in the book, they need to go to the nurse to verify. The
book is updated daily. The nurse did not have a slip and at that time, the procedure was not followed that
day. It has always been that way. We are to check for the diet and name, and it was just very chaotic that
day and the nurse was just amending with the hot dog. Choking can be a concern if a mechanical soft diet
resident gets a hot dog or any diet that is a regular diet. The food should not be placed in front of the
resident until the nurses find out the proper diet for the residents.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:56 AM, Registered Dietitian #1 stated, A resident who is on a
mechanical soft diet should not get a whole hot dog not without being mechanically altered. Mechanically
altered food particles should be reduced to less than one half of an inch or less. Choking is a potential harm
they can face and/or aspiration. My expectation is if the staff has a misunderstanding or disagreement, the
staff should pause and verify the correct diet and ask the resident not to consume the food.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:15 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The staff should
know the patient diet and who it is for and the room number. Whoever is in the kitchen should verify looking
at the person's ticket to make sure the diet is correct. I feel it was a breakdown of that individual. If she
[Staff I] told her [Staff J] from the beginning that was not his [Resident #45's] diet, she should have taken
the plate away from him or not even put it in front of the resident. If it was me as the RN, I would have taken
it from him and had the LPN step out of the dining room and later address the incident with the staff. The
LPN should have verified the diet before giving the resident the alternate. The nurses are responsible for
making sure residents are taken care of safely.

During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:26 AM, the Administrator stated, After all the investigation, it was
an individual staff mistake. The RN herself who saw the situation and she did not act either. The food should
have been taken away immediately from the resident. They are supposed to get the slip and get the diet
order and mention who the patient was and say what the patient needs and what diet they were supposed
to be. The staff was not recognizing the mistake and the level it can reach. This was the policy prior to the
event.

During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:40 PM, the Registered Dietitian #1, stated, I consider the staff
giving the wrong diet order and identifying it was the wrong diet order and not doing anything to correct it
would be considered a mistake. It was a clinical error. He was a mechanical soft diet at that time.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 1:32 PM, the Medical Director stated, I was notified of the incident. To
be honest, it depends on the amount of dysphagia the patient has. This resident [Resident #45] has mental

outcome all depends on the resident. He was a patient with failure to thrive and has improved. I understand
your question if it was a weak patient or had dysphagia, it could cause aspiration pneumonia.
Review of the written statement authored by Staff J, LPN, dated 10/15/2024 read, Assisting in the Dining
Rm [room] for lunch. [Resident #45's initials] had the ravioli and string beans but was asking for an
alternative. He requested a hot dog. I had gotten the hot dog from the kitchen and brought it to the table.
Took the hot dog and added condiments as per his request. The CNA, then cut up the hot dog for him to
eat. Resident had eaten the hot dog without any difficulties. He was not coughing. Resident had same meal
as everyone else therefore, I thought that he had a regular meal also. I stayed to observe the table to make
sure he had no swallowing issues and no signs or symptoms of aspiration. When I realized I had made a
mistake I panicked and did not remove the resident's food because I saw the surveyor standing there
watching me and I did not want to raise any red flags by taking his food back, I felt as though she would
sense something was wrong and I would cause more harm than good.
Review of the written statement authored by Staff J, LPN, dated 10/16/2024 read, Yesterday I was asked to
assist in the dining room, due to the increase in the resident population during lunchtime. Resident
observed a fellow resident having a hot dog and decided that he would like to have one as well. I
proceeded to the kitchen and requested a hot dog platter from the kitchen staff. I returned the plate to the
residents' request; I then gave the resident condiments and the RN that was present pointed out that the
resident was on a mechanical diet. Residents' meal was properly mechanicalized prior to him eating.

likelihood of serious harm, such as choking, aspiration (a condition in which foods, stomach contents, or
fluids are breathed into the lungs through the windpipe) and/or death. The Nursing Home Administrator was
notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on February 10, 2025, at 8:28 AM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on
October 15, 2024, and was removed on site on November 13, 2024.
Cross reference to F689, F835, and F867.
Findings include:
During an observation on 10/15/2024 at 12:20 PM, Resident #45 was sitting in the common dining room.
Resident #45 called Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and asked to have something else to eat than
what had been served to him. Staff J went to the kitchen and returned with a hot dog in a hot dog bun on a
plate. Staff J placed the plate in front of Resident #45 and Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN), stated to Staff J
Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff I mentioned
again Resident #45 should not have a hot dog. Neither Staff I nor Staff J removed the food item. Resident
#45 picked up the hot dog and put it in his mouth. Resident #45 placed the hot dog back down on the plate
without chewing or swallowing any pieces of the hot dog. Staff K, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), came
over and cut the hot dog in half. Resident #45 grabbed one of the halves and placed it in his mouth.
Resident #45 placed the half of the hot dog back down on the plate without chewing or swallowing any
portion of the hot dog.
Review of Resident #45's medical record showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diastolic (congestive) heart failure, generalized
muscle weakness, other reduced mobility, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, metabolic disorder,
adjustment disorder with anxiety, chronic or unspecified gastric ulcer with hemorrhage (excessive bleeding),
disorder of adult personality and behavior, type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications,

Treatment dated 9/30/2023 read, Current Referral. Reason for Referral: Patient referred to ST [Speech
Therapy] due to new onset of decreased oral function, risk for aspiration, decreased functional activity
tolerance and dysphagia [difficulty swallowing] indicating the need for ST to analyze oral/pharyngeal
function, minimize aspiration/risk of, develop & instruct in compensatory strategies, assess and determine
least restrictive diet and design and implement strategies. Resident on a regular diet with thin liquids upon
discharge to the hospital. He returned on a puree diet with thin liquids. Resident exhibiting a significant
weight loss of 15.5% over the last 4 months . Objective tests/measures & additional analysis . additional
analysis: Other: [NAME] [[NAME] Assessment of Swallowing Ability] administered with a score of 176
indicating mild dysphagia; however, resident is exhibiting a severe deficit with oral phase of swallow .
Assessment Summary: Skilled Justification: Reason for Skilled services: Skilled SLP services for dysphagia
are warranted to analyze oral/pharyngeal function, develop & instruct in compensatory strategies, minimize
risk of weight loss with swallow analysis, assess and determine the least restrictive diet and design and
implement strategies in order to enhance patient's quality of life by improving ability to meet primary
nutrition/hydration needs, efficiently consume least restrictive diet, safely consume least restrictive diet,
improve oral transit time and use strategies/compensatory techniques. Risk factors: Due to the documented
physical impairments and associated functional deficits, the patient is at risk for: aspiration and weight loss.
Review of Resident #45's Speech Therapy Treatment Encounter Notes dated 10/10/2023 read, Swallow Tx
[treatment]: instructions in alternating liquids/solids to increase pharyngeal clearance, analysis of
/instruction in presentation techniques to increase safety & nutrition, modification to bolus sizes and
order/method of food/liquid presentation and facilitation of body positioning to increase safety with intake.
Swallow Tx: techniques to improve safe & efficient nutrition/hydration, analysis of diet texture to increase
oral intake, therapeutic trial feedings to increase safety and development & training in use of compensatory
strategies. Trial of mechanical soft consistency presented with modifications to bolus size and rate of intake.
Resident is declining to eat puree diet consistency per nursing. Resident able to consume mechanical soft
consistency without any s/s [signs/symptoms] of deficit in pharyngeal phase of swallow.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 11:53 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, [Resident #45's name] has a
mechanical soft diet. Cutting the hot dog in half does not make it a mechanical soft diet. I am not sure if the
cook said it was okay or not when she [Staff J] went to get it from the kitchen.
During a telephonic interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:13 PM, Staff J, LPN, stated, He [Resident #45] asked me
to get him another plate and I asked him what he wanted. He said maybe a hamburger or something like
that. I went to the kitchen and told the cook I need an alternate and I mentioned his name. The cook, I do
not remember who it was, told me he had no hamburger, and they gave me a hot dog. I brought it out and
[Resident #45's name] started eating the hot dog without a problem. When I turned around the nurse [Staff
I] told me he [Resident #45] could not have a hot dog. I just didn't want to grab his plate. I just froze and
kept looking at [Resident #45's name]. He finished the hot dog without a problem. I did not grab the plate
because I did not want to make a big commotion.
During an interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:28 PM, Staff K, CNA, stated, Residents' diets sometimes change. I
saw him [Resident #45] sitting around and I went to help him out so [Resident #45's name] could start
eating. I thought I cut it in multiple pieces for him to be able to eat it. Cutting the hot dog does not make it a
mechanical soft diet. Usually, they have a ticket. I did not see a ticket next to him. I did not pay more
attention to his meal.

Administrator stated, We put the fault in every department. The issues came from the dining room, but the
kitchen could have stopped it.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 8:44 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, I think I was a little overwhelmed and
had a lot going on and when I told her [Staff J] No, he should not have it [referring to the hot dog meal
served], nothing was done. I assumed she was going to take it away the second time I told her. It was busy.
I would have taken it away, but I was doing a million things reading the tickets and handing out the meals,
and I was just overwhelmed. When I noticed the second time, he [Resident #45] had the meal in front of
him that I told her he should not have. I told her [Staff J] a second time. She turned around and looked at
me and she heard what I said. I assumed she was going to take it from him [Resident #45]. Looking back, I
should have owned it and removed his plate instead of expecting someone to do it. Some potential risk for
the resident would be choking. You can say that about any resident but for him, he is at a higher risk. I
would not say aspiration.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:20 AM, Staff R, Speech Therapist, stated, If a resident is
mechanical soft, they should not be given a meal outside of their recommendations. There is a possibility of
coughing, choking, and aspiration. Depending on the health status of the person, there is a risk of
aspiration pneumonia and an increased risk of hospitalization.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:37 AM, Staff Q, Cook, stated, We were serving the lunch line. A
nurse came in asking for an alternate regular tray. I asked her who it was for and what the diet was. She
said it was a regular diet for the dining room. I finished serving more on the line and remembered she was
still there, and I gave her the hot dog. After that I realized she didn't say who it was for, but she never came
back in, and I finished serving the lunch line. She did not have a meal ticket with her.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:51 AM, the Food Service Director stated, Our procedure is that staff
is informed to ask if they have a diet ticket and if they do not have the diet ticket, we ask for the name and
room number and look in the book. If they are not in the book, they need to go to the nurse to verify. The
book is updated daily. The nurse did not have a slip and at that time, the procedure was not followed that
day. It has always been that way. We are to check for the diet and name, and it was just very chaotic that
day and the nurse was just amending with the hot dog. Choking can be a concern if a mechanical soft diet
resident gets a hot dog or any diet that is a regular diet. The food should not be placed in front of the
resident until the nurses find out the proper diet for the residents.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:56 AM, Registered Dietitian #1 stated, A resident who is on a
mechanical soft diet should not get a whole hot dog not without being mechanically altered. Mechanically
altered food particles should be reduced to less than one half of an inch or less. Choking is a potential harm
they can face and/or aspiration. My expectation is if the staff has a misunderstanding or disagreement, the
staff should pause and verify the correct diet and ask the resident not to consume the food.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:15 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The staff should
know the patient diet and who it is for and the room number. Whoever is in the kitchen should verify looking
at the person's ticket to make sure the diet is correct. I feel it was a breakdown of that individual. If she
[Staff I] told her [Staff J] from the beginning that was not his [Resident #45's] diet, she should have taken
the plate away from him or not even put it in front of the resident. If it was me as the RN, I would have taken
it from him and had the LPN step out of the dining room

and later address the incident with the staff. The LPN should have verified the diet before giving the
resident the alternate. The nurses are responsible for making sure residents are taken care of safely.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:26 AM, the Administrator stated, After all the investigation, it was
an individual staff mistake. The RN herself who saw the situation and she did not act either. The food should
have been taken away immediately from the resident. They are supposed to get the slip and get the diet
order and mention who the patient was and say what the patient needs and what diet they were supposed
to be. I know it was a hefty day, but that is no excuse at all. The staff was not recognizing the mistake and
the level it can reach. This was the policy prior to the event.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 1:32 PM, the Medical Director stated, I was notified of the incident. To
be honest, it depends on the amount of dysphagia the patient has. This resident [Resident #45] has mental
issues and will do things he is not supposed to do. He is followed by the speech therapist. A potential harm
outcome all depends on the resident. He was a patient with failure to thrive and has improved. I understand
your question if it was a weak patient or had dysphagia, it could cause aspiration pneumonia.
Review of the written statement authored by Staff J, LPN, dated 10/15/2024 read, Assisting in the Dining
Rm [room] for lunch. [Resident #45's initials] had the ravioli and string beans but was asking for an
alternative. He requested a hot dog. I had gotten the hot dog from the kitchen and brought it to the table.
Took the hot dog and added condiments as per his request. The CNA, then cut up the hot dog for him to
eat. Resident had eaten the hot dog without any difficulties. He was not coughing. Resident had same meal
as everyone else therefore, I thought that he had a regular meal also. I stayed to observe the table to make
sure he had no swallowing issues and no signs or symptoms of aspiration. When I realized I had made a
mistake I panicked and did not remove the resident's food because I saw the surveyor standing there
watching me and I did not want to raise any red flags by taking his food back, I felt as though she would
sense something was wrong and I would cause more harm than good.
Review of the written statement authored by Staff J, LPN, dated 10/16/2024 read, Yesterday I was asked to
assist in the dining room, due to the increase in the resident population during lunchtime. Resident
observed a fellow resident having a hot dog and decided that he would like to have one as well. I
proceeded to the kitchen and requested a hot dog platter from the kitchen staff. I returned the plate to the
residents' request; I then gave the resident condiments and the RN that was present pointed out that the
resident was on a mechanical diet. Residents' meal was properly mechanicalized prior to him eating.
Review of Employee Statement/ Interview Record authored by Staff I, RN, dated 10/16/2024 read, Date of
Event 10/16/2024 . [Resident #45's name] requested alternative for lunch during lunch time in the dining
room. Other LPN in dining room brought resident a full hot dog w/ [with] bun. Before she brought it to him
and sat it in front of him. I told her [he] can't have it b/c [because] he is MS [Mechanical Soft] diet. She
looked at me then looked at the state woman [State surveyor] standing in the corner and moved to grab a
cart. I was running plates and assisting other residents upon returning to food counter [the] LPN began
putting mustard on hot dog for resident [Resident #45's name] I said again he cannot have that he is
mechanical soft you need to take it. LPN looked at me a slightly shrugged shoulder. I was called away again
and when I returned a bite was taken out of [Resident #45's name] hot dog and he had it in his hands. LPN
was gone resident [Resident #45's name] left dining room soon after.

Review of the written statement authored by Staff Q, Cook, dated 10/16/2024 read, On October 15
between 12:30-12:45 pm I was serving the lunch line. A nurse came in saying she needed a hot dog. We
asked who for? She said she needed it for the dining room. We asked what their diet was and she said she
didn't know. I made the hot dog and then handed it to her.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Provide Diet to Meet Needs of Each Resident with the last
review date of 1/31/2024 read, Policy: The purpose of the food and nutrition services (FNS)/dietary
department is to provide high quality, nutritious, palatable and attractive meals in a safe, sanitary manner.
Food will be prepared in a form to accommodate resident allergies, intolerances and personal, religious and
cultural preferences, based on reasonable effort. Therapeutic diets will be served as prescribed by the
attending physicians or their designee.
The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was removed on site on 11/13/2024 after the receipt of an acceptable IJ
removal plan. The facility has completed the following steps to remove the immediate jeopardy. On
10/16/2024, Resident #45 was re-evaluated by the licensed nurse and the speech therapist. On
10/16/2024, Resident #45's chest x-ray was completed. On 10/16/2024, facility-wide reconciliation of the
dietary system/tray tickets with physician orders were carried out. On 10/16/2024, the DON provided
training and education to the dietary staff and nursing staff on providing the diet to meet the residents'
needs, nutrition and hydration assistance, and accuracy of diet. On 10/17/2024, a root cause analysis was
conducted and Ad Hoc [from the Latin and means for this] Quality Assurance and Performance
Improvement (QAPI) meeting was held to review the concerns related to accuracy of diets. On 11/12/2024,
an Ad Hoc Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting was convened to review the
Removal of Immediate Jeopardy draft plan and added daily alternate diet audit form to track alternate diet
check process to ensure accuracy of diets after alternative diet is requested after meal delivery. By
11/13/2024, 227 out of 233 facility staff members (112 out of 112 certified nursing assistants, 37 out of 38
licensed practical nurses, 14 out of 15 registered nurses, and 16 out of 16 dietary staff members) were
reeducated on the accuracy of diets. Beginning 10/18/2024, the facility administration will ensure that the
safety and well-being as it relates to accuracy of diets is maintained by continued participation, evaluation
and intervention through clinical standup review of 24-hour report to identify change in condition, and
maintaining QAPI process.
Review of Resident #45's records showed the resident was evaluated on 10/16/2024 by X-Ray with no focal
consolidation, effusion or pneumothorax. Review of Resident #45's SLP evaluation showed the resident
was evaluated for oral and pharyngeal swallow function on 10/16/2024. Review of Order Listing Report
showed the Registered Nursing Consultant completed reconciliation of the dietary system with physician

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility administration failed to administer the facility in a
manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain and maintain the highest
practicable physical well-being of each resident by failing to implement policies and procedures related to
therapeutic diets. Resident #45 had a physician's order for a mechanical soft diet. On 10/15/2024 at 12:20
PM, Resident #45 was sitting in the dining room. Resident #45 requested an alternative food item from Staff
J, Licensed Practical Nurse. Staff J went to the kitchen and returned with a hot dog in a hot dog bun on a
plate. Resident #45's diet was not verified in the kitchen. Staff I, Registered Nurse, stated to Staff J,
Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Neither Staff I nor Staff J removed the food item after
identifying the error. Staff I again instructed Staff J Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff
I and Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff K, Certified Nursing Assistant cut the hot dog in half for
Resident #45 to consume. Resident #45 consumed the hot dog.

Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff I mentioned
again Resident #45 should not have a hot dog. Neither Staff I nor Staff J removed the food item. Resident
#45 picked up the hot dog and put it in his mouth. Resident #45 placed the hot dog back down on the plate
without chewing or swallowing any pieces of the hot dog. Staff K, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), came
over and cut the hot dog in half. Resident #45 grabbed one of the halves and placed it in his mouth.
Resident #45 placed the half of the hot dog back down on the plate without chewing or swallowing any
portion of the hot dog.

Review of Resident #45 physician order dated 7/9/2024 read Physician ordered CCHO [Consistent
Carbohydrates] diet, Mechanical Soft texture, thin consistency [liquids] for nutrition and hydration.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 11:53 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, [Resident #45's name] has a
mechanical soft diet. Cutting the hot dog in half does not make it a mechanical soft diet. I am not sure if the
cook said it was okay or not when she [Staff J] went to get it from the kitchen.
During a telephonic interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:13 PM, Staff J, LPN, stated, He [Resident #45's name]
asked me to get him another plate and I asked him what he wanted. He said maybe a hamburger or
something like that. I went to the kitchen and told the cook I need an alternate and I mentioned his name
[Residents #45's name]. The cook, I do not remember who it was, told me he had no hamburger, and they
gave me a hot dog. I brought it out and [Resident #45's name] started eating the hot dog without a problem.
When I turned around the nurse [Staff I] told me he [Resident #45] could not have a hot dog. I just didn't
want to grab his plate. I just froze and kept looking at [Resident #45's name]. He finished the hot dog
without a problem. I did not grab the plate because I did not want to make a big commotion.
During an interview on 10/17/2024 at 1:28 PM, Staff K, CNA, stated, Residents' diets sometimes change. I
saw him [Resident #45] sitting around and I went to help him out so [Resident #45's name] could start

dog does not make it a mechanical soft diet. Usually, they have a ticket. I did not see a ticket next to him. I
did not pay more attention to his meal.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 8:36 AM while discussing Resident #45's therapeutic diet, the
Administrator stated, We put the fault in every department. The issues came from the dining room, but the
kitchen could have stopped it.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 8:44 AM, Staff I, RN, stated, I think I was a little overwhelmed and
had a lot going on and when I told her [Staff J] No, he should not have it [referring to the hot dog meal
served], nothing was done. I assumed she was going to take it away the second time I told her. It was busy.
I would have taken it away, but I was doing a million things reading the tickets and handing out the meals,
and I was just overwhelmed. When I noticed the second time, he [Resident #45] had the meal in front of
him that I told her he should not have. I told her [Staff J] a second time. She turned around and looked at
me and she heard what I said. I assumed she was going to take it from him [Resident #45]. Looking back, I
should have owned it and removed his plate instead of expecting someone to do it. Some potential risk for
the resident would be choking. You can say that about any resident but for him, he is at a higher risk. I
would not say aspiration.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:20 AM Staff R, Speech Therapist stated, If a resident is mechanical
soft, they should not be given a meal outside of their recommendations. There is a possibility of coughing,
choking, and aspiration. Depending on the health status of the person aspiration pneumonia and an
increased risk of hospitalization.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:37 AM, Staff Q, Cook, stated, We were serving the lunch line. A
nurse came in asking for an alternate regular tray. I asked her who it was for and what the diet was. She
said it was a regular diet for the dining room. I finished serving more on the line and remembered she was
still there, and I gave her the hot dog. After that I realized she didn't say who it was for, but she never came
back in, and I finished serving the lunch line. She did not have a meal ticket with her.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:51 AM, the Food Service Director stated, Our procedure is that staff
is informed to ask if they have a diet ticket and if they do not have the diet ticket, we ask for the name and
room number and look in the book. If they are not in the book, they need to go to the nurse to verify. The
book is updated daily. The nurse did not have a slip and at that time, the procedure was not followed that
day. It has always been that way. We are to check for the diet and name, and it was just very chaotic that
day and the nurse was just amending with the hot dog. Choking can be a concern if a mechanical soft diet
resident gets a hot dog or any diet that is a regular diet. The food should not be placed in front of the
resident until the nurses find out the proper diet for the residents.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 9:56 AM, Registered Dietitian #1 stated, A resident who is on a
mechanical soft diet should not get a whole hot dog not without being mechanically altered. Mechanically
altered food particles should be reduced to less than one half of an inch or less. Choking is a potential harm
they can face and/or aspiration. My expectation is if the staff has a misunderstanding or disagreement, the
staff should pause and verify the correct diet and ask the resident not to consume the food.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:15 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The staff should
know the patient diet and who it is for and the room number. Whoever is in the kitchen should

verify looking at the person's ticket to make sure the diet is correct. I feel it was a breakdown of that
individual. If she [Staff I] told her [Staff J] from the beginning that was not his [Resident #45's] diet, she
should have taken the plate away from him or not even put it in front of the resident. If it was me as the RN,
I would have taken it from him and had the LPN step out of the dining room and later address the incident
with the staff. The LPN should have verified the diet before giving the resident the alternate. The nurses are
responsible for making sure residents are taken care of safely.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:26 AM, the Administrator stated, After all the investigation, it was
an individual staff mistake. The RN herself who saw the situation and she did not act either. The food should
have been taken away immediately from the resident. They are supposed to get the slip and get the diet
order and mention who the patient was and say what the patient needs and what diet they were supposed
to be. I know it was a hefty day, but that is no excuse at all. The staff was not recognizing the mistake and
the level it can reach. This was the policy prior to the event.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:12 PM with the Administrator, when asked if identifying the wrong
diet order served and not removing the meal was neglectful behavior, the Administrator stated, We took it
as both ways because no action happened. We worked the event as a near miss.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:13 PM, the Regional Nursing Consultant stated, We worked it as a
near miss like if someone had a medical error. If we reported every near miss med error or error, we would
be doing that every day. This was a [NAME] employee. A nurse who failed to act.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:40 PM, the Registered Dietitian #1, stated, Choosing the word
neglect makes it hard to answer since it's a legal term. Would I consider this a mistake or not following the
procedure, yes. I do not feel comfortable answering and using that kind of language. A mistake is anything
that occurs that is outside the realm of norm, deviation from the norm. I consider the staff giving the wrong
diet order and identifying it was the wrong diet order and not doing anything to correct it would be
considered a mistake. It falls under the definition I gave you of a deviation from the norm. It was a clinical
error. He was a mechanical soft diet at that time.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:45 PM with the Food Service Director, when asked if not removing
the food item after identifying it was wrong diet order would be considered neglectful behavior, The Food
Service Director stated, I do not feel comfortable answering the question.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 1:32 PM, the Medical Director stated, I was notified of the incident. To
be honest, it depends on the amount of dysphagia the patient has. This resident [Resident #45] has mental
issues and will do things he is not supposed to do. He is followed by the speech therapist. A potential harm
outcome all depends on the resident. He was a patient with failure to thrive and has improved. I understand
your question if it was a weak patient or had dysphagia, it could cause aspiration pneumonia. When asked
if the nurse's inaction after identifying the incorrect diet order and not removing the tray was neglectful, the
Medical Director stated, I would consider this to be a situation with a nurse that needs to be suspended and
educated.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:57 AM, the Administrator stated, Part of the incident after looking at
it, yes it was neglectful behavior. To me, neglect is the unwillingly action made against somebody. Since the
staff was told twice, she should have removed it.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 10:08 AM, the Medical Director stated, Neglect to me is to do

something that would harm a patient on purpose. In this case, it was a request from a patient. Even if they
have a lower BIMS [Brief Interview for Mental Status] than usual or dementia, but they understand they can
ask and we have to respect them. We would consider those pleasure feed. Another staff tried to resolve the
issue by cutting the hot dog.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 12:01 AM, the DON, stated, Neglect is intentionally not taking care
the patient. A dietary scenario that would be considered neglect would be not making sure that a patient
got a meal. Referring to the two nurses not providing the best care for the patient, that would be neglect. We
should have followed through.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 12:20 PM, Food Service Director stated, The residents have the right
to good and services. Basically, the situation that happened in the dining room with [Resident #45's name]
and that nurse not removing the tray is considered neglect because it can possibly do harm to the resident.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 12:26 PM, Registered Dietitian #1, stated, [Neglect is] the failure to
provide goods and services as deemed medically necessary. I would consider the case you are here for
neglect. I did not want to answer it yesterday until I was completely familiar with the situation and all the
definitions.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, record review, and observation, the facility failed to utilize the Quality Assessment and
Performance Improvement (QAPI) process to investigate, develop and implement an effective performance
improvement plan (PIP) when the facility identified policies and procedures were not implemented for
modified consistency diets. On 10/15/2024 at 12:20 PM, Resident #45 was sitting in the dining room.
Resident #45 requested an alternative food item from Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse. Staff J went to the
kitchen and returned with a hot dog in a hot dog bun on a plate. Resident #45's diet was not verified in the
kitchen. Staff I, Registered Nurse, stated to Staff J Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog.
Neither Staff I nor Staff J removed the food item after identifying the error. Staff I again instructed Staff J
Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff I and Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff K,
Certified Nursing Assistant cut the hot dog in half for Resident #45 to consume. Resident #45 consumed
the hot dog.
The facility's failure to provide food in a form to meet the needs of Resident #45 led to the determination of
Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of isolated, (J). The facility's actions placed Resident #45 at a
likelihood of serious harm, such as choking, aspiration (a condition in which foods, stomach contents, or
fluids are breathed into the lungs through the windpipe) and/or death. The Nursing Home Administrator was
notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on November 13, 2024, at 5:25 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on
October 15, 2024, and was removed on site on November 13, 2024.

what had been served to him. Staff J went to the kitchen and returned with a hot dog in a hot dog bun on a
plate. Staff J placed the plate in front of Resident #45 and Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN), stated to Staff J
Resident #45 was not supposed to have a hot dog. Staff J did not remove the food item. Staff I mentioned

During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 8:36 AM while discussing Resident #45's therapeutic diet, the
Administrator stated, We put the fault in every department. The issues came from the dining room, but the
kitchen could have stopped it. Right now, when someone asks for something else, they have to show the
dietary slip for the cook to release any food items. Every department involved got a disciplinary action and
training.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 10:26 AM, the Administrator stated, After all the investigation, it was
an individual staff mistake. The RN herself who saw the situation and she did not act either. The food should
have been taken away immediately from the resident. They are supposed to get the slip and get the diet
order and mention who the patient was and say what the patient needs and what diet they were supposed
to be. I know it was a hefty day, but that is no excuse at all. The staff was not recognizing the mistake and
the level it can reach. This was the policy prior to the event.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:12 PM with the Administrator, when asked if identifying the wrong
diet order served and not removing the meal was neglectful, the Administrator stated, We took it as both
ways because no action happened. We work the event as a near miss.
During an interview on 11/12/2024 at 12:13 PM, the Regional Nursing Consultant stated, We worked it as a
near miss like if someone had a medical error. If we reported every near miss med error or error, we would
be doing that every day. This was a [NAME] employee. A nurse who failed to act.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:57 AM, the Administrator stated, Part of the incident after looking at
it, yes it was neglectful behavior. To me, neglect is the unwillingly action made against somebody. Since the
staff was told twice, she should have removed it. After yesterday, we had a meeting and analyzed the
situation and called it what it is. We filed the reportable and reported the staff members.
A request was made for the policy and procedures for QAPI. Review of the provided document titled QAPI
at a Glance: A Step by Step Guide to Implementing Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement
(QAPI) in Your Nursing Home read, What is QAPI? QAPI is the merger of two complementary approaches
to quality management, Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Improvement (PI). Both involve using
information, but differ in the key ways: QA is a process of meeting quality standards and assuring that care
reaches an acceptable level. Nursing homes typically set QA thresholds to comply with regulations. They
may also create standards that go beyond regulations. QA is reactive, retrospective effort to examine why a
facility failed to meet certain standards. QA activities do improve quality, but efforts frequently end once the
standard is met. PI (also called Quality Improvement - QI) is a pro-active and continuous study of
processes with the intent to prevent or decrease the likelihood of problems by identifying areas of
opportunity and testing new approaches to fix underlying causes of persistent/systemic problems. PI in
nursing homes aims to improve processes involved in health care delivery and resident quality of life. PI can
make good quality even better . Why QAPI is important? Once QAPI is launched and sustained, many
people report that is a rewarding and even an enjoyable way of working. The rewards of QAPI include:
Competencies that equip you to solve quality problems and prevent their recurrences; Competencies that
allow you to seize opportunities to achieve new goals; Fulfillment for caregivers, as they become active
partners in performance improvement; and above all, better care and better quality of life for your residents.
The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was removed on site on 11/13/2024 after the receipt of an acceptable IJ
removal plan. The facility has completed the following steps to remove the immediate jeopardy. On
10/16/2024, Resident #45 was re-evaluated by the licensed nurse and the speech therapist. On
