Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and records review, the facility failed to honor 1 of 22 sampled residents, Resident #130's rights
for self-determination, as evidenced by the facility's infringement on Resident #130's right to refuse and
discontinue nursing home care services.
The findings included:
On 01/13/25 at 11:44 AM, Resident #130 stated he was asked in the month of October 2024 to come to the
nursing home while his assisted living facility's (ALF) apartment was being renovated. He said that they told
him that he would return to the ALF in two months. Yet, he has not heard from anyone, he does not know
what is going on, and it has been three months. The resident stated they have ignored all his concerns.
Resident #130's electronic record documented the following diagnoses: Chronic systolic heart failure;
Hypertensive Heart disease; Bacteremia; Hyperlipidemia; presence of Cardiac Pace Maker; Glaucoma
bilateral unspecified and gait abnormalities. On the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) Resident #130
obtained a score of 15/15. That BIMS score is indicative of someone whose cognitive abilities were intact.
An interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 01/14/25 at 03:08 PM to obtain
clarification on the cause of Resident #130 being at a nursing home. The SSD stated that Resident #130
would be returning to the ALF tentatively, on Monday, the 20th of January 2025. However, the SSD could
not provide the rationale for the resident's admission to the Nursing Home. She said, she did not know why
this resident was admitted to the facility. The SSD said, they were processing Resident 130's Medicaid
application and he would return to the ALF soon.
On 01/14/25 at 03:25 PM, Employee JJ, a Social Worker (SW) informed that Resident #130 was at the
facility because of financial reason. Employee JJ said usually when Residents of the ALF, which is owned
or operated by the same organization, have their Medicaid cases pending, they transfer them to this
nursing home, while the process is ongoing. Employee JJ said she received correspondence from the
Business Office Manager (BOM), and the SW from the ALF informing her that Resident #130 was eligible
for Medicaid and that he could now go back to his previous residence in the ALF. The SW also said that she
did not have any documentation to support the legitimacy of Resident #130 being admitted to the nursing
home, other than perhaps the agreement that Resident #130 had signed to be admitted to the nursing
home.
Employee KK, a Resident Navigator, informed on 01/14/25 at 03:43 PM, her role at the nursing home was
to tour the nursing home with prospective residents, before and after their admission to the facility.
Employee KK also assigned rooms to the residents, and ensured residents signed the admission packet.
Employee KK said that she gave Resident #130 a tour of this facility prior to his admission. Employee KK
said Resident #130 was transferred to the nursing home because there was some kind of billing issue at
the ALF. He came here to wait for his Medicaid approval before he could return to the ALF. Employee KK
further stated that she gets a few residents from the ALF who ended up in the nursing home when their
funds run out over there in the ALF. She said that Resident #130 agreed to be admitted to the nursing
home.

Review of the admission Packet showed Resident #130 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He signed
the document as presented. The Resident Navigator said that Resident #130 came to the facility by himself
since Resident #130 does not have a power of attorney (POA).
On 01/14/25 at 04:11 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) informed she has been working at this facility for
three years. she said they have a centralized admission team who screen residents who are supposed to
be admitted to this facility. However, she would occasionally screen resident, especially if the resident was
going to be admitted for long-term care. She said she screened Resident #130 prior to his admission to the
facility and he had gait disorder, memory loss, and history of falls. She said Resident #130 could no longer
take care of himself at the ALF, so they transferred him to this facility.
Review of the health assessment form (AHCA form 1823) provided by the DON and dated 5/24/2024
documented that Resident #130 did not require 24-hour nursing care. Review of the AHCA form 5000-3008
dated 9/19/2024 and completed by the Resident's Primary Care Physician confirmed that the resident did
not require nursing facility placement services but needed Medicaid Waiver services. The DON said that
she did not know that the physician had written that information.
On 01/15/25 at10:19 AM, Resident #130 said, he never had any falls while in the ALF. The only physical
problem he had was a subluxation of his spine many years ago before coming to the facility. Resident #130
said, they have not done anything for him in this nursing home but giving him his medications. He asked
how much he would have to pay, for being at the nursing home? They told him they would take it from his
account and they would leave some money for him in his account. He said since he was admitted to the
nursing home, he never received any mails. Resident #130 said he was paying 1000.00 dollars at the ALF.
Every time he wanted to go back to the ALF, they told him he could not go, he needed permission to do so
although most of his belongings were left at the ALF. He felt deprived of his rights to handle his personal
affairs. Resident #130 said at the ALF, all he had to do was sign out and he could go about his business.
But, at the nursing home, he could not do anything. He said that he has been complaining about going back
to the ALF for a long time.
On 01/15/25 at 10:53 AM, the Physical Therapist (PT) Director said that Resident #130 did not receive any
rehabilitation services. He said that he was not familiar with the resident's name. The PT Director said that
Resident #130 was only screened for long term care on 11/13/2024. The patient showed no indication that
he needed rehabilitation services, said the PT Director.
The Business Office Manager (BOM) said on 01/15/25 at10:59 am, that Resident #130 would soon be
going back to the ALF. The BOM said that Resident #130's Medicaid application for long-term care was
approved. She said she did not open an account for Resident #130's stay in the nursing home because
they knew Resident #130 was supposed to go back to the ALF. The BOM said Resident # 130 had a patient
liability for the month of October 2024 in the amount of $11423.00 dollars and $1175.00 dollars for the
months of November and December 2024. The BOM said they did not expect the Medicaid application to
take that long that is why Resident #130 ended up staying so long at the facility.
On 01/15/25 at 3:40 PM, the Administrator said that they had obtained other medical assessment/evidence
verifying that Resident #130 needed nursing home care services. The Administrator provided a hospital
transfer form which was signed by the nursing home Medical Director on 10/4/2024. The Administrator also
attested to the fact that Resident #130 had been complaining about his stay at the nursing home. The
Administrator acknowledged that Resident #130 wanted to go back to the ALF since he came to the
nursing home. The Administrator declared that she was also the assisted living facility's

Based on observation, records review, and interview, the facility failed to provide assistance with Activites of
Daily Living (ADLs) for 1 of 22 sampled residents, Resident#139, related to removal of facial hair.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of Resident #139's facesheet and section A of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessement
documented the resident's admission date to the facility to be 06/08/23.Review of on the Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) for Resiident #139 noted a score of 3 of 15 indicating severe cognitive impairment.

as evidenced by her decreased balance and endurance, safety awareness strength, and required maximum
assistance with upper body dressing, total assistance with lower body dressing, total assistance with toilet
transfer, total assistance with toileting hygiene, due to functional decline related to ADL dysfunction muscle
weakness status post (s/p) cerebrovascular aneurysm (CVA).
On 01/13/25 at 12:35 PM, Resident #139 was observed with overgrown facial hair under her chin. The
resident answered basic questions but could not provide any feedback regarding her personal care needs.
In an interview conducted with Staff II, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), on 01/13/25 at 1:01 PM, right
after exiting Resident #139's room, Staff II said that she has been working at the facility for 2 years. Staff II
said she had ten residents assigned to her to assist with activities of daily living (ADLs), of whom Resident
#139 was one. Staff II stated Resident #139 had a colostomy bag and could not perform any personal care.
Staff II said that she gave Resident #139 a bed bath in the morning and assisted her with oral hygiene care,
confirming that she had noticed the resident's overgrown facial hair but took no action.

The son stated that Resident #223 also had some miscellaneous personal items to include: 1)
approximately $30 in cash, kept in a wallet in the purse itself which could not later be located and when he
checked for this money and mentioned it to the Nun and one of the nurses, it was not addressed and

resident's condominium, which was present when Resident #223 was admitted to this facility and it
remained there, but the gate card was missing from her gray pocketbook and disappeared. He also said
that he had some pictures of the resident's clothing spread out on her couch at home, before he packed
them, so they could be viewed clearly. There were also some pictures of personal items and clothing
hanging inside of the facility's closet dated 01/20/24 which he reiterated were signed in, but he never signed
any out. Resident #223's son explained to the surveyor the reason why the family had previously taken
pictures of the resident's clothing, while still at her home, prior to bringing them into the facility, was due to
the ongoing concerns that they had previously encountered regarding other missing items.
Resident #223's son stated that he brought in a new set of clothes after this. Resident #223's son stated
that he sent an e-mail on 02/20/24 to Staff V, Sister/Master of Social Work, regarding some of the above

before I packed them so they could be viewed clearly. I took the time documenting this due to the other
missing items we had encountered. 2. The second photo is the missing gate card that was in her gray
pocketbook and disappeared. The bag and card are photographed on the rolling table in her room at St
[NAME]. 3. The third photo is the clothes hanging in the closet/wardrobe that was in her room. I was asked

wear, since she was usually always in a hospital gown, and did not have clothing for an upcoming medical
appt. After this appointment, Staff V revealed the resident's son brought in some clothing and no other
personal items were brought in, at that time for the resident. Staff V proceeded to show the surveyor some
colored photos of the clothing items in Resident #223's closet that were brought in by the resident's son.
Staff V presented a copy of both the Inventory List of Personal Effects forms dated 11/15/23 and of the
Changes to Inventory form dated 01/12/24. Staff V revealed she had received an e-mail(s) from Resident
#223's family during the time frame of 10/23/23 until 02/20/24, regarding the resident's clothing and
personal items. Staff V was able to locate the e-mail that was sent directly to her on 02/20/24 at 2:22 PM
from the resident's son regarding the resident's clothing and other personal items. She indicated that she
did recall previously speaking with the resident's daughter regarding the resident's clothing as well as
e-mailing a response back to the resident's son. Staff V stated none of those items were ever found.
During this interview, Staff V and the surveyor were joined by the Regional Director of Care Coordinator for
the Social Work and Utilization Management Division. At this time, Staff V briefly explained the
process/protocol of what to do when a resident has missing clothing and personal items as: when it is
learned that a resident has missing clothing and/or personal items they would confirm if it is on the
inventory form; they would check the resident's room and laundry, if the item could not be located; the
facility would ask the family if they have a receipt or an estimated monetary value, it would go to the
Administrator in the form of a grievance and she would make the determination of what happens from
there; she would speak with the family, the floor/unit manager, the Social Worker, Unit Secretary, Business
office to see if it is a credit card; and a grievance would be completed within a maximum of a one (1) week
time-frame. Staff V stated she does not recall speaking with any of the family members after that time, and
did recall documenting any further information regarding this in Resident #223's record.
There was no documentation found to show that any other pertinent staff members had been informed or
notified of these ongoing issues and concerns involving the clothing and personal items for Resident #223's
in the record. There was no further documented efforts by the facility, per their protocol, to follow-up with
locating Resident #223's clothing and other personal items or belongings, after Staff V's two (2) previous
documented telephone conversations on 02/02/24 and 02/12/24.
A side-by-side record review was conducted with Staff V, of both Resident #223's Inventory of Personal
Effects log dated 01/12/24, which listed all of the following items: one (1) cell phone and charger, one (1)
small hand bag, an unidentified Identification (ID) and two (2) unspecified cards. Photographic Evidence
Obtained of above; and of Resident #223's Changes to Inventory log dated atop as 01/20/24 at 2:15 PM, in
which it was documented the resident had all of the following items listed: two (2) pair black and white
pants, two (2) shirts black and red, three (3) pair underwear and one (1) black bra. Photographic Evidence
Obtained. Both of the inventory forms ultimately had Resident #223's signature at the bottom of the page.
There was also an incomplete section at the bottom of the Inventory of Personal Effects log, and on the
Discharge section on the bottom of the Changes to Inventory log indicating, receipt of valuables from the
facility in good condition, as listed on this form, was also incomplete, unsigned and undated by both the
Resident/Relative and the facility employee.
There was no clarity or documentation on either of the above forms to indicate or authenticate as to
whether or not the signature of Resident #223's son on the two (2) forms were signed at the time of
drop-off, or at the time of pick-up, of any of the resident's clothing or personal items.

record. The Director of Social Services indicated she was not notified of any concerns or issues with
missing clothing items or personal property for this resident at any time during the facility stay, by her own
staff or by any other facility staff members. The Director of Social Services explained that the overall policy
for following up with missing personal items and clothing involves: informing the Director, completing a

un-locked nurses' station desk (which is accessible to any staff member on the nursing floor). The DON
further revealed that these three (3) storage rooms can go unattended for months without being checked.
Photographic Evidence Obtained.
The DON reiterated the procedure for following up with missing clothing and personal items reports from
the resident or their representative as: a grievance would be filed pending an investigation of the missing
items, the facility would check the inventory log to see if the items missing are on the inventory list, if they
are there they would look for the missing items, but if they could not be located, then 3) the facility would
ask the family to see what can be done e.g. reimbursement, 4) the Business office would follow-up, and 5) a
resolution is reached, and the family would receive their reimbursement, if applicable. She acknowledged
that none of the above steps had been followed in this case.

review revealed Resident #375 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Muscle
Weakness, Hypertension, and type 2 Diabetes. Review of the Physician's order showed an order dated
01/10/25 for droplet, contact, for Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) positive.
Residents Affected - Few
In an observation conducted on 01/13/24 at 10:30 AM and 11:09 AM, Resident #375 was noted in his room
with a droplet isolation precaution sign noted on the door.
Continued observation at 12:15 PM revealed Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was noted taking
the lunch tray to Resident #375's room without practicing hand sanitizing before entering the room. She
entered the room with a surgical mask but no gown or gloves. Staff A touched the side table and adjusted
Resident #375's items on the side table before setting down his meal tray. She then walked around the bed
and used the bed remote to help Resident #375 elevate his body and head. During this entire observation,
Staff A used her bare hands.
An interview was conducted on 01/16/25 at 7:20 AM with Staff J, CNA, who stated when a resident is on
droplet isolation, she needs to make sure that she puts on a gown, mask, and gloves before going into the
droplet isolation room. She then pointed out the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) cart that was noted
outside the room.
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to disinfect the vital signs machine
between residents' usage for Residents #137, Resident #42 and Resident #428; and failed to follow droplet
precaution protocol for residents' positive for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), for Resident #375.
The findings included:
Review of the facility document, titled, Guidelines for Isolation Precautions, policy #4022, dated 10/25/24,
revealed standard precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms from both
recognized and unrecognized sources of infections in hospitals.
Page 5 of the policy revealed droplet transmission is a form of contact transmission, where droplets are
generated from the source person primarily during coughing, sneezing, talking, and during the performance
of suctioning and bronchoscopy. Isolation precautions are designed to prevent transmission of
microorganisms in healthcare facilities. Since agents and host factors are more difficult to control,
interruption of the spread of infection is directed primarily at transmission.
Further review of policy on page 6 revealed the fundamentals of isolation precautions with infection control
measures such as hand hygiene per new Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and
gloving; cleansing hands as promptly and thoroughly as possible, between resident contacts and after
contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions and equipment or articles contaminated by them,
appropriate resident placement explaining resident with highly transmissible or epidemiologically important
microorganism are placed in private room, and appropriate barriers like mask, impervious dressings are
worn or used by the resident to reduce transmission of microorganisms to other residents, personnel and
visitors, and to reduce contamination of the environment.

During an observation on 01/14/25 at 4:24 PM, Staff O, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), left a room with
an East labelled Hill-Rom 5-wheels, Spot vital signs machine. She was observed to not disinfect the
machine or perform hand sanitizing after leaving the room. She went straight into Resident # 137's room.
Upon entering, she was observed not to clean or disinfect the machine and/or sanitize her hands. Staff O
put on gloves, touched resident's privacy curtains, applied blood pressure cuff to Resident #137, clipped
the pulse oximeter to resident's right pointer finger, and placed the thermometer a few inches away from
resident's forehead on 01/14/25 at 4:27 PM. While using her gloved hand, she wrote on her clipboard after
taking a pen out of her pocket. Staff O removed the blood pressure cuff from resident's right arm, and with
the same gloves used for resident, touched resident's phone, and meal table, and then removed both
gloves. She performed ABHR (alcohol-based hand rub) on 01/14/25 at 4:29 PM but did not clean or
disinfect the vital signs machine. The machine had a basket with 2 pressure (BP) cuffs with a long gray
cord, a pulse oximeter clip with a white cord, and a thermometer with a white cord.
On 01/14/25 at 4:30 PM, Staff O went to the next room and sanitized her hands. With the same vital signs
machine that she had not disinfected, she then applied the BP cuff on the Resident# 428's left arm on
01/14/25 at 4:30 PM. She was observed touching her forehead with the same gloves she used to apply the
resident's BP cuff. With the same set of gloves, she wrote on her clipboard on 01/14/25 at 4:30 PM. She
stood next to the vital signs machine and her clipboard was touching the cord part of the BP cuff. She then
touched her left ear using the same gloves, removed BP cuff from resident's arm, then removed her gloves,
discarded them in trash, and sanitized her hands. Further observation revealed Resident #428's room had
an EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precaution) sign on the door frame. Staff O, a CNA did not clean and disinfect
the vital signs machine before and after leaving the EBP room.
On 01/14/25 at 4:32 PM, observation revealed Staff O placed the vital signs machine in front of Resident#
424's room. The room had an EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precaution) sign posted. On 01/14/25 at 4:33 PM,
Staff O donned a personal protective equipment (PPE) gown, put a mask over her other face mask. Staff O
did not clean or disinfect the machine she used for Resident #137, Resident # 428 , and a random
observed resident on 01/14/25 at 4:33 PM.
Staff O put on gloves, then applied the bigger BP cuff (brown, and white in color) to the Resident # 424's
arm. She took off the BP cuff shortly afterwards, put it back in the white basket of the Hill Rom machine.
She then applied a bp cuff found on resident's meal table. She did not sanitize this resident's BP cuff before
putting on resident's left upper arm on 01/14/25 at 04:37 PM.
Staff O touched the left side of her eyeglasses, then touched resident's arm, BP cuff, and the bulb of
sphygmomanometer with her left hand, and with her right hand touched Resident #424's arm again. She
put the BP cuff on top of resident's table without disinfecting it. She took the resident's temperature by
placing the thermometer a few inches away from resident's forehead, and with the same gloves she used
on this resident touched her clipboard and pen.
She continued and touched the resident's napkin on the meal table, then pushed the meal table closer to
resident's bed with the same set of gloves. She wheeled the vital signs machine next to the bathroom,
removed her PPE gown, performed handwashing in resident's bathroom, and left the room with the
machine. She did not clean and disinfect the machine but placed and plugged it into an electrical outlet on
01/14/25 04:42 PM. She then walked away from the East labelled Hill-Rom machine.
In an interview with Staff O on 01/14/25 at 4:44 PM, when asked regarding CNA's care of residents with
