Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and records review, 1 of 5 sampled dialysis residents (Resident #33) did not receive a
lunch bag before going to a dialysis treatment center which is remotely located.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
On 11/02/22 at 4:11 PM, during an interview with Resident #33, she reported that she was a dialysis
patient and went to dialysis three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00 AM. Resident
#33 said that she usually returns to the facility by 3:00 PM and added that she did not receive her lunch bag
when she went to dialysis the morning of 11/2/2022. She informed that this occurred not only once, but
multiple times.
During an interview with the Dietitian, Employee H, on 11/02/22 at 3:57 PM, she reported that there are five
residents on dialysis. She informed that when residents are going to dialysis, they always give them a lunch
bag, as required. She said that the lunch bags are usually prepared in the early morning for the residents
who have to leave by 8:00 AM. But, there is one resident who eats his breakfast at the facility before going
to dialysis. She said that to her knowledge Resident #33's lunch was prepared and sent to the nursing unit.
She believed that Resident #33 should have received the lunch bag before leaving the facility. She said that
the nurses should have made sure that she does.
During an interview with the assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) on 11/02/22 at 4:08 PM, she stated that
the dialysis resident's nurse is responsible for giving the residents their lunch bags before they go to
dialysis. However, occasionally, the residents refuse to take the bag.
During an interview with the Food Service Manager on 11/02/22 at 4:14 PM, he said that the cook reported
to him that he had prepared egg salad for Resident #33 today, or on 11/02/2022. He said that once the
meal is turned over to the nurse's station, they are responsible for it.
On 11/02/22 at 4:22 PM, interview with Resident #33's nurse, Employee I, she said that she received two
lunch bags for the residents the morning of 11/02/2022. However, she said that she did not give the lunch
bag to the residents. She was not sure whether the night nurse might have given one of the lunch bags to
Resident #33.
During a follow up interview with Resident #33 on 11/02/22 at 4:24 PM Resident #33 reported that she had
a blue lunch bag, but no one gave it to her as she was going to dialysis on 11/02/2022. She said as a
matter of fact, on Friday 10/28/2022, they did not give it to her either.
Review of the Physician orders revealed the following: Resident #33 dialysis days were on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays. Her dialysis chair time was at 9 AM, her pick up time was at 7 AM. The Orders
also revealed that Resident #33 was supposed to receive a lunch bag with meal/snack to go to Dialysis.
The order was effective since 09/19/2022 at 07:00 AM.
Review of the nutritional care plan showed that Resident #33 had nutritional problems related to therapeutic
diet. Resident #33's anticipated weight fluctuations related to dialysis treatment; she had multiple nutrition
related comorbidities including: Muscle wasting, diabetes mellitus type 2, end stage renal disease. Resident
#33's weight trended down post her last hospitalization. The CP outlined that Resident #33 was to receive a
Bag meal/sack to go to dialysis, for Lunch.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interviews, the facility failed to keep the loading dock area clean and in a sanitary manner
to prevent an environmental condition that harbors rodents, pests, and insects.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
During a follow-up visit to the kitchen on 11/02/2022 at 12:07 PM, the Surveyor toured the loading dock
area and observed the refuse area with the Maintenance Director and noted there was a substantial
amount of standing water that gave out a foul odor. The Maintenance Director stated that it was an issue
that he could immediately resolve. He said that this never happened before. Also, there were some debris
stored near the electric system by the loading zone.
During an interview with a housekeeping staff on 11/02/22 at 12:10 PM, she stated that whenever it rains
the area is flooded. This is evidence that the issue was a lingering problem.
However, after draining the standing water, it was observed that the drainpipe was completely occluded
with debris, [NAME], rocks, and dirt. The Maintenance Director realized that the problem was bigger than
what he thought.
During a follow-up interview with the Maintenance Director on 11/03/22 1:22 PM, he reported that the issue
was resolved. A plumbing company was hired to unclog the draining pipe. However, the debris stored by the
loading area was still in the area (photographic evidence obtained).
