did not allow the resident to stand up from the wheelchair. At 9:34 AM Resident #83 again attempted to
stand up from his wheelchair, and the same CNA did not allow the resident to stand all the way up and

and stood up unattended. Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), went to him and immediately tried to get
him to sit down, and the resident resisted. The resident stood for a few moments and was trying to walk.
When asked if he could walk down the hall with assist, the LPN stated, Yes, but that is when he falls. After

respect, Resident #36 voiced that sometimes the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) spoke another
language in front of her. The Resident stated, Their feelings come out through their language spoken; I feel
like they are talking about me. She explained sometimes she would go out to the nurses' desk to ask for
something, and staff ignored her. When asked how that made her feel, the resident stated she didn't feel
like she had done anything wrong and felt disrespected. When asked if she had told anyone about these
interactions with staff, she stated she hadn't told anyone because she was afraid staff would be mad at her.
During a follow up interview on 11/07/24 at 10:45 AM, when asked how her care had been since the last
interview, Resident #36 stated There are only certain individuals who are not treating me nice; I wish
nurses would ask me how I'm feeling more often. The resident voiced desire to address concerns

Director stated, We are in the process of replacing the tiles. We have extra tiles, we are focusing on the tiles
that need to be replaced and then we are going to overhaul room by room.
The Administrator stated, we are waiting for regional to assist with the planning and the manpower to plan
on re-doing the floors and the doors. The company that took over started managing the facility with a
CHOW (Change of Ownership) in January 2024. We started ordering the new ones (referring to the over
bed tables) and the issue that we had was that some of them were coming out of the box like that and we
switched to the plastic ones. We are getting 20-30 per month and replacing the old ones.
The Administrator and the Director of Maintenance were not able to provide a time frame for the repairs and
replacement of the over bed tables when asked.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the participation of the resident in the development
of the resident's care plan and ongoing participation in resident care planning meetings for 1 of 2 sampled
residents reviewed for Care Planning (Resident #34).
The findings included:
On 11/04/24 at 9:14 AM during the initial resident interview with Resident #34, he stated that he was very
upset at being unable to leave the facility. I want to get out of here. I am here against my will. As far as I
know, I am still responsible for my own health care decisions, but no one lets me make decisions about my
health care. I do not have a power of attorney or a health care surrogate. I have never been invited to any
care plan meetings. All decisions are made by my sister, and I don't want anything to do with her.
A review of Resident #34's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment showed that Resident #34 was assessed
to have a Brief Interview Mental Status score of 13 out of a possible 15 (mildly impaired). There was no
documentation in his electronic record which showed he had an assigned power of attorney or named
anyone in his family as a health care surrogate or legal representative. There was also no documentation
which showed that he was mentally incapacitated to make his own health care decisions.
All the care plan meetings reviewed showed that Resident #34's sister had been invited to the care plan
meetings, and she had attended, but there was no evidence that Resident #34 had been invited or attended
any of the meetings other than his initial meeting at the time of admission.

continues as reviewed. Pt is alert with confusion although is able to communicate his needs. Mood is stable
with no behaviors evident. Family is very supportive and are requesting LTC (Long Term Care).No DPOA
(Designated Power of Attorney) or AD (Advanced Directives) are on file, therefore Pt is a Full Code.
On 11/07/24 at 11:51 AM, the Social Services Director was interviewed and asked to assist in locating any
documentation as to why Resident #34 was not in attendance at this care plan meeting. On 11/07/24 at
approximately 1:00 PM, the Social Services Director reported that she was unable to determine why the
resident was not being invited or attending his care plan meetings. She also stated that she could not locate
any documentation in the resident's record that the resident was unable to make his own health care
decisions.
On 11/07/24 at 2:29 PM, the MDS Coordinator stated, I have only been working for 2.5 weeks. She
acknowledged that she could not find any documentation that Resident #34 was provided with an invitation
to his care plan meetings. She stated, The Receptionist will mail out the letters to the family members, and
the Activities Department hands out the letters to the residents.
On 11/07/24 at 2:42 PM, the Activities Assistant stated that all the care plan meeting letters that are to be
handed out to the residents are put in her mailbox, and she passes them out. She stated that she had no
documentation to show that an invitation was provided to Resident #34.
On 11/07/24 at 2:44 PM Resident #34 was again asked if he was provided with a letter of invitation to his
care plan meetings, he adamantly stated, I have never been invited to a care plan meeting. If they gave me
something, I wouldn't be able to read it anyways; I am illiterate.
On 11/07/24 at 2:59 PM, the Social Worker was interviewed about Resident #34 being illiterate. She stated,
He asks for the Chronicle every morning, and he was able to read the paper that I just now provided to him.
I don't know why he would claim to be illiterate
On 11/07/24 at approximately 4:00 PM, the Administrator was informed of the concern regarding Resident
#34 not being involved with his care plan and lack of any documentation showing resident was invited and
encouraged to attend his care plan meeting. It was also discussed with the Administrator that since the
resident had no documentation showing he had appointed anyone to be his POA, Health Care Surrogate or
Representative, it may not be appropriate for the resident's sister and brother-in-law to be invited to
participate in his care plan meetings unless he gives his consent.

Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide assistance with grooming, including
hair washing and nail care to 3 of 5 sampled residents, who were dependent upon staff for care (Resident
#28, #40, and #44).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
1) Review of the record revealed Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and resided in the
secured memory care unit. Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] lacked a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score as the resident was rarely understood. This MDS documented the
resident needed partial to substantial assistance from staff for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Review of a care plan initiated 03/18/23 documented Resident #28 had a communication problem and
impaired ability to make self understood and another initiated on 06/07/23 that she needed the assistance
of staff for all ADLs. Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) tasks indicated the resident had only
had one shower in the past month.
Observations on 11/04/24 at 12:16 PM, 11/05/24 at 9:58 AM, and on 11/06/24 at 9:49 AM all revealed the
resident's hair needed to be washed as it appeared flat and greasy.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:40 AM, when asked about showers and hair washing for Resident
#28, Staff J, CNA, stated that most of the time the resident was already up out of bed when she arrived to
work. When asked if that was a reason to not provide a shower, the CNA did not answer. When asked if she
had provided a shower to Resident #28, or washed her hair this week, the CNA stated, I think Monday.
2) Review of the record revealed Resident #40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and resided in the
secured memory care unit. Review of Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] lacked a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score, as the resident was rarely understood. This MDS documented the
resident needed substantial assistance from staff for showering and bathing.
Review of care plans initiated on 09/18/21 documented Resident #40 was severely cognitively impaired for
daily decision making and needed the assistance of one staff for all ADLs.
Observations on 11/04/24 at 12:11 PM, 11/05/24 at 9:39 AM. and 11/06/24 at 9:38 AM revealed the
resident's hair needed to be washed. During the first two observations the resident's hair was hanging
loose and appeared flat and greasy. The resident had her hair pulled back in a ponytail on the third
observation and it remained greasy looking.
3) Review of the record revealed Resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current
MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident had a BIMS score of 4, on a 0 to 15 scale,
indicating severe cognitive impairment. An MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented a BIMS score of 7,
and the resident indicated the provision of a bath and shower were very important.
Although a care plan initiated on 04/07/24 indicated the resident refused showers and ADL at times, review
of progress notes and CNA documentation lacked any documented refusal of care in the past 30

Observations on 11/04/24 at 11:20 AM and on 11/05/24 at 2:10 PM revealed Resident #44's hair needed to
be washed as it appeared greasy. During a supplemental observation and interview on 11/07/24 at 11:48
AM, when asked if she felt as if Resident #44 was receiving proper care and services, the Power of
Attorney (POA) stated, No look at that hair. It looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks. And these
fingernails are way too long. [Name of Resident #44] would always keep her nails short and clean.
Observation of the resident's fingernails revealed they were all very long. When asked if she had spoken to
staff about her concerns, the POA stated she had just last week, to include the Social Services Director
(SSD).
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:58 AM, when asked if she was able to trim fingernails, Staff G,
assigned CNA, stated she could but had not done so for Resident #44.
During an observation and interview on 11/07/24 at 12:08 PM, Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
agreed the resident had excessively long fingernails and greasy hair. The LPN stated she was unaware the
aides where not doing the ADLs and just hadn't noticed. The LPN agreed she should have noticed the
needed care.
On 11/07/24 at 12:18 PM, the SSD stated she did not recall any conversation with the POA of Resident
#44.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, interview, and policy review, facility staff failed to assess lung sounds and vital
signs pre and post nebulizer treatments for 3 of 3 sampled residents reviewed for nebulizer treatments
(Residents #42, 95 and #63).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
1) Review of the policy titled, Respiratory Care and Oxygen Administration revised 10/2022 documented, in
part, 12. Evaluation of respiratory status and breath sound and response to treatment should be
documented in the clinical record.
Review of the record revealed Resident #42 was ordered a nebulizer treatment, Ipratropium-Albuterol,
every four hours for lung congestion. This order dated 11/05/24 specifically instructed to assess and
document the resident's lung sound, pulse and respiration rates, and oxygen saturation level pre and post
treatment.
During an observation on 11/06/24 beginning at 4:18 PM, Staff N, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN),
obtained the nebulizer treatment for Resident #42 from the medication cart, placed the medication into the
nebulizer mask, and started the treatment. The LPN checked the resident's oxygen saturation level and
pulse rate, then looked at the resident for a moment and stated, No cough so breathing is clear. At 4:32 PM
the LPN stated the treatment was complete and assessed the resident's oxygen saturation level and pulse
rate again and left the room. The LPN confirmed she had completed the treatment. When asked if she
would normally assess lung sounds with a stethoscope, the LPN stated she would. When asked why she
did not do so for Resident #42, Staff N stated, If she is not coughing, she is clear. If she is coughing, I would
listen. I used nursing judgement. She was clear.
2) Record review revealed Resident #95 was ordered the nebulizer treatment of Acetylcysteine Solution
10% for secretions, twice daily for three weeks, as of 10/23/24. A second nebulizer treatment initiated on
09/26/24 for Ipratropium-Albuterol was to be administered via nebulizer four times daily. Both orders
specified to assess and document lung sounds, pulse and respiratory rates, and oxygen saturation levels,
pre and post treatments. The second nebulizer treatment lacked any place to document the assessments.
During an observation on 11/06/24 beginning at 12:44 PM, Staff K, LPN, gathered the Ipratropium Albuterol
nebulizer to administer to Resident #95. The LPN put the medication into the nebulizer, hooked up the
tubing to the resident's tracheostomy (an opening surgically created through the neck into the trachea to
allow air to fill the lungs), and began the treatment. The LPN stood at the bedside during the entire
treatment, but did not perform any type of assessment or do any vitals.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 10:23 AM, when asked the assessment process when administering a
nebulizer treatment, Staff K stated she took the resident's vitals prior to the treatment. When asked if there
was any other type of assessment that needed to be done, the LPN was unsure. The LPN was unaware of
the need to complete additional vitals after the treatment or to assess the lung sound pre or post treatment.

status and breath sounds and response to treatment should be documented in the clinical record,
especially if treatment is provided as needed for an exacerbation or acute onset of a respiratory condition.
Record review revealed Resident #63 was admitted to the facility 10/19/24. Review of the current Minimum
Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #63 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of 15, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. This same MDS
section I Active Diagnoses documented he had respiratory failure.
Review of the Care Plan dated 10/19/2024 documented, Resident #63 has congestive heart failure and will
have clear lung sounds, heart rate, and rhythm within normal limits through review date. This same care
plan revealed interventions such as check breath sounds and monitor/document for labored breathing,
monitor/document for the use of accessory muscles while breathing, and vital signs as ordered/PRN (as
need.)
During a medication administration observation on 11/06/24 at 04:20 PM, Staff L, Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN), administered a nebulizer treatment to Resident #63 without performing a pre-administration or post
administration assessment. When asked how she knew if the medication was working for the Resident,
Staff L states I could check his vitals and his breathing. When asked how she would do that and why she
had not done that, Staff L stated she would check his pulse oxygenation, but she forgot. Staff L did not
mention she would auscultate (listening with intent to examine) for lung sounds.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure pain management for 1 of 5
sampled residents, as evidenced by the failure to administer a lidocaine patch, as per physician order for
Resident #99.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the record revealed Resident #99 had an order initiated on 10/31/24 for a lidocaine 5% patch, to
be applied to the lower back daily at 9 AM and removed daily at 9 PM.
A medication pass observation was made for Resident #99 on 11/06/24 at 8:57 AM, with Staff K, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN). The LPN obtained a lidocaine 5% patch from the medication cart, took a piece of
paper tape and applied to the outside of the patch, and wrote the date on the piece of tape, using a thick
black marker. The LPN entered the resident's room, and upon pulling up the back of the resident's shirt, a
lidocaine patch with the initials of Staff K and the date of 11/04/24 was noted on the resident's lower back.
The LPN confirmed that was the patch she had placed on the resident's back on Monday 11/04/24, and
that she did not work on Tuesday 11/05/24. The LPN also confirmed the order was for the patch to be
placed on the resident's back every morning and removed every night.
Further review of the November 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed Staff K
documented the placement of the patch on Monday 11/04/24. This MAR documented another nurse
removed the patch on 11/04/24 at 9 PM, while a second nurse applied and removed a patch on 11/05/24.
This obviously did not happen as the patch observed on Wednesday 11/06/24 was dated Monday 11/04/24.
The Director of Nursing was made aware of observation on 11/06/24 during the morning, and agreed with
the concern.

Provide medically-related social services to help each resident achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient and appropriate social services are
provided to meet the needs of 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident #34), related to the following:
Residents Affected - Few
1) Advocating for resident and assisting in the assertion of their rights within the facility;
2) Assisting resident in voicing and obtaining resolutions to grievances about discharge wishes;
3) Assisting resident with financial and legal matters (e.g., referrals to lawyers); and
4) Assisting with transitions of care services (e.g., assisting the resident with identifying community
placement options and completion of the application process, arranging intake for home care services for
residents returning home, assisting with transfer arrangements to other facilities.
The findings included:
On 11/04/24 at 9:14 AM during the initial resident interview with Resident #34, he stated that he was very
upset at being unable to leave the facility. I want to get out of here. I am here against my will. As far as I
know, I am still responsible for my own health care decisions, but no one lets me make decisions about my
health care. I do not have a power of attorney or a health care surrogate. I have never been invited to any
care plan meetings. All decisions are made by my sister, and I don't want anything to do with her . I really
need some help with finding a lawyer to assist me. My sister took my house, my car and all my money out
of my bank account .the only way I am getting out of here is in a body bag. Can you please help me!
A review of Resident #34's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment showed that Resident #34 was assessed
to have a Brief Interview Mental Status score of 13 out of a possible 15 (mildly impaired). There was no
documentation in his electronic record which showed he had assigned power of attorney or named anyone
in his family as a health care surrogate or legal representative. There was also no documentation which
showed that he was mentally incapacitated to make his own health care decisions.
All the care plan meetings reviewed showed that Resident #34's sister had been invited to the care plan
meetings, and she had attended, but there was no evidence that Resident #34 had been invited or attended
any of the meetings other than his initial meeting at the time of admission.
On 08/20/2024 at 1:13 PM MDS/Care Plan Note: care plan meeting held with [sister] reviewed care plan no
care concerns noted.
04/02/2024 14:01 - MDS / Care Plan Note: care plan meeting held with sister via phone would like resident

On 11/07/24 at approximately 1:00 PM, the Social Services Director reported that she was unable to
determine why the resident was not being invited or attending his care plan meetings. She also stated that
she could not locate any documentation in the resident's record that the resident was unable to make his
own health care decisions. She also confirmed that Resident #34 had not appointed a power of attorney or
health care surrogate to make health and/or financial decisions for him. The Social Services Director did not
provide any information showing that she had offered the resident any assistance in resolving his numerous
voiced requests to be discharged out to a less restrictive living facility. There was a note on 12/22/23 that
the sister was requesting long term care, but no documentation showing legal authority for her to do so.
There was no documentation that the Social Services Director had addressed Resident #34's requests to
be referred to a lawyer, or that Social Services had addressed Resident #34's accusations that his family
had misappropriated his house, car and money in his bank account. The Social Services Director stated
that she believed the Resident's BIMS was lower than a 13 and questioned if he was able to make his own
decisions. However, there was nothing found in the resident's health record, or provided by the facility, that
supported that the resident was not able to make his own health care decisions.

On 11/07/24 at approximately 4:00 PM, the Administrator was informed of the concern regarding Resident
#34 not being involved with his care plan. It was also discussed with the Administrator that since the
resident had no documentation showing he had appointed anyone to be his POA, Health Care Surrogate or
Representative, it may not be appropriate for the resident's sister and brother-in-law to be invited to
participate in his care plan meetings unless he gives his consent. Concerns regarding the lack of
appropriate social services provided to Resident #34 were also discussed with the Administrator.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to follow the approved menu for
lunch on 11/06/24, and failed to notify the residents of the change in the menu.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
1. The approved menu for the lunch being served on 11/06/24 documented that residents were to be
served 'Golden Fried Chicken'.
The approved recipe for the 'Golden Fried Chicken' (no reference date) provided instructions that were
documented as:
Procedures:
1. For Frying: Fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for 10-12 minutes, or until done.
2. For baking: place pieces in a single layer on a parchment paper lined sheet pan sprayed with pan
release. Heat at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until done.
3. Serve 3 oz (ounces) portion.
4. CCP (Critical Control Point): [NAME] to a minimum internal temper of 165 degrees F.
Notes:
3. Note: fry in batches; overcrowding the chicken will lower the oil's heat, leading to greasy chicken.
4. Note: Product is fully cooked. Do not overheat.
During the follow up kitchen tour, on 11/06/24 at 11:30 AM, accompanied by the Dietary Manager and the
Registered Dietitian (RD), it was noted that the chicken being plated and served to the residents was
chicken wings that did not have an appearance of being 'Golden Fried Chicken', as the wings had no
breading and did not have a 'Golden' color. Furthermore, the kitchen did not have the means to fry the
chicken as instructed due to not having a fryolator or deep fryer for cooking.
When the Dietary Manager was asked about the chicken wings not being Golden Fried Chicken, the
Dietary Manager stated, the chicken was pan fried. The Dietary Manager further stated that the supplier
was out of the fried chicken that would have been prepared for the meal.
During an interview with Staff B, Dietary Aide, when asked about the preparing the 'Golden Fried Chicken'
Staff B described the chicken as being chicken breasts that come breaded and commercially
processed/cooked and that the kitchen only had to reheat to the appropriate temperature prior to hot
holding and serving.
2. The approved menu that was posted on the units for the residents documented that the facility would be
serving Golden Fried Chicken for lunch on 11/06/24.

During the follow up kitchen tour, on 11/06/24 at 11:30 AM, accompanied by the Dietary Manager and the
RD, it was observed that the facility was serving chicken wings that did not appear to be fried as there was
no breading on the chicken wings and they did not have a color or appearance of being fried.
During an interview with the Dietary Manager, when asked about the facility serving the chicken wings
instead of the 'Golden Fried Chicken', the Dietary Manager stated that the supplier did not have the
commercially processed fried chicken breasts that were supposed to be served according to the approved
menu. When asked about the timing of the delivery of the chicken, the Dietary Manager stated that the
delivery that did not include the chicken was on Monday (11/04/24). The Dietary Manager acknowledged
that the menu displayed for the residents should have been changed and the residents should have been
notified of the change.
3. The approved menu documented that the residents were to be served 4 ounces (oz) of fried chicken for
the lunch meal on 11/06/24.
During the Follow up kitchen tour, on 11/06/24 at 11:30 AM, accompanied by the Dietary Manager and the
RD, while observing the meal being plated, Staff B was observed placing 3 bone-in chicken wings on the
plates and then completing the meal with starch and vegetables. At the request of this Surveyor, Staff B
placed 3 of the chicken wings that represented one serving on the facility's calibrated kitchen scale. It was
noted that the chicken wings appeared to be equal parts bone (not edible) and chicken. The chicken
weighed 4.5 oz. Staff B continued plating the meal and use a scoop to place a portion of mechanically
altered chicken on plate. At the request of this Surveyor, Staff B placed a scoop of the mechanically altered
chicken that represented one serving on the facility's calibrated kitchen scale. The portion of the
mechanically altered chicken was 4.2 oz and did not contain bones in the portion. The Dietary Manager
acknowledged that the residents were not being served the appropriate amount of chicken due to not
having considered that the chicken being served contained bones for the regular menu, and instructed the
kitchen staff to retrieve the regular meals that had already been placed in a cart so that an additional
bone-in chicken wing could be added to the meals.
