the facility did not ensure that one resident (Resident #25) of 30 sampled residents, received a Level II
PASRR evaluation prior to admission to the facility, as required since the resident had been identified on the
Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) as not being eligible for admission to a nursing
home because of serious mental illness.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:

Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) evaluation which identified the resident as having the following
Mental Illnesses: Bipolar Disorder, Depressive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Other: Psychosis. The resident
was identified as currently receiving services for MI (Mental Illness). Section II of the Evaluation identified
the resident as having had Psychiatric treatment more intensive than outpatient care. The individual was
identified as exhibiting actions or behaviors that may make them a danger to themselves or others. The
resident had not been diagnosed as having a primary diagnosis of Dementia or a related neurocognitive
disorder, including Alzheimer's Disease. This admission was not a Provisional Admission.

confirmed, Resident #25's PASRR dated 08/31/20 indicated the resident was not cleared for admission to a
nursing home and a PASRR Level II should have been obtained prior to the transfer from the hospital. The
SW confirmed that the MSW at the hospital should have stopped the transfer. The SW pointed to the
facility's name listed on page 1 of the PASRR indicating the hospital was requesting admission to the
facility. She reported that if there was a PASRR Level II in progress, it should be received prior to the
resident's transfer to the facility. The SW confirmed that she had not attempted to obtain a Level II PASRR
for Resident #25.
Continued interview with the SW revealed that there was a facility policy related to the PASRR evaluations.
The facility policy, Pre-admission Screening for Mental Disorder and/or Intellectual Disability Patients,
included facility will assure that all patients with Mental Disorders and/or Intellectual Disability receive
appropriate pre-admission screenings according to federal and/or state regulations. Under the section
entitled Practice Standards, guidance was given: Social Services will coordinate and/or inform the
appropriate agency to conduct the evaluation and obtain results if: 1.1 it is learned after admission that the
PASRR was not completed or is incorrect; 1.2 There is a significant change in status that results in new
evidence of possible mental disorder, intellectual disability or a related condition.
In a separate interview on 09/18/2020 beginning at 11:00 a.m., the Director of Nurses agreed that the
facility should not have taken the resident back, according to the PASRR.
In a phone interview on 09/18/2020 beginning at 12:33 p.m., the Medical Director reported that they had
attempted to help Resident #25 by re-admitting him, but the resident seemed impossible to offer care to
due to his behaviors. The Medical Director reported that he didn't think Resident #25 was appropriate for a
nursing home due to his noncompliance. The Medical Director reported that the facility had no control over
the admission process, as the Corporate Admissions Office directs admissions.
On 09/17/20 at approximately 9:20 a.m., the resident was observed awake, eyes open, lying on his side in
bed with his covers pulled up under his neck. He stared at the surveyor when greeted. The resident was
asked several questions such as how he felt, how he slept and how his breakfast was. The resident did not
answer but continued to stare at the surveyor, until the aide answered the question about the resident's
breakfast. Later that morning, before lunch, the resident was observed sitting up in bed, with his sheet
pulled over his head. Again, he did not respond when the surveyor spoke with him.
The nurses' notes for the admission beginning 08/31/2020 revealed:
On 09/01/2020 at 7:10 a.m., the nurse's note indicated the resident had had a change in condition and
included symptoms: resident called 911 from office phone 09/01/2020 at night. At 10:30 a.m. on 09/01/2020
the nurse's note read resident noncompliant all shift. Resident propelling throughout facility freely. Declining
to stay in room or wear mask. Resident states, If you try to stop me I'll say you hit me. Resident in dietitian's
office, sitting in her chair, twice. resident stated, I'm comfortable here. Resident proceeded to call 911. On
09/01/2020 the resident refused his nystatin and levothyroxine, per the nurse's note.
On 09/02/2020 at 6:33 a.m., the nurse's note read, resident kept coming out of his room claiming he was
going to find a phone to call 911 because we won't do anything for him here and that when the police come
he will tell them that he is being abused so they will take him to the hospital.

care plan for three (#20, #22, #80) of thirty sampled residents related to continuous oxygen use for
Resident #20, activities of daily living (ADL) for Resident #22, and the use of Thrombo-Embolic Deterrent
(TED) hoses for Resident #80.
Findings included:
1. On 9/15/20 at 10:15 a.m., Resident #20 was observed in her room watching television, and wearing an
O2 (oxygen) Nasal Cannula (NC) connected to an oxygen concentrator. The oxygen concentrator was set

An observation was conducted on 9/16/20 at 11:40 a.m. of Resident #20 self-propelling in a wheelchair to
her room, wearing a Nasal Cannula facemask. The oxygen tubing was connected to an oxygen tank located
behind the wheelchair. The dial on the oxygen tank was set to 1.5 (L).
On 9/17/20 at 12:09 p.m., Resident #20 was observed in her room watching television and was receiving
2.5 liters of oxygen via NC. The resident stated, I always wear it, it is continuous, and I am supposed to be

An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 09/17/20 at 4:30 p.m. He was informed
of the concerns related to Resident #20's continuous oxygen usage. The DON confirmed that the resident's
most recent care plan did not have a focus care area, goals, and interventions related to continuous oxygen
use and that the care plan should be updated. The DON further revealed that the resident never had a
physician order to wear continuous oxygen since she was admitted on [DATE], and he could not find an
order in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that was discontinued or dropped out of the system.

documented from 9/1/20 through 9/16/20 and 10 refusals of putting on the knee-high TED hose from 8/1/20
through 8/31/20, and 1 refusal from 7/1/20 through 7/31/20. No progress notes were noted on contacting
the physician or resident's representative related to the resident's refusals.
Interview with Staff G on 9/16/20 at 11:50 AM revealed she did not work with Resident # 80 often but was
familiar with her. She stated Resident #80 does not like to wear TED hose. Staff G stated if she was
working with the resident and she attempted to assist with putting on the TED hose and the resident
refused, she would attempt again later and notify the nurse of the resident's refusal.
On 9/16/20 at 12:00 PM, Staff B revealed that if a resident refused to participate in a physician order it
would be documented. If the resident refused 3 days in a row the physician was to be notified to decide if
he would like to discontinue or change the order. When a nurse notified the physician, it was protocol for the
nurse to make a note in the chart.
On 09/17/20 at 09:58 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated that nursing was to monitor the
resident's edema to determine if treatment was effective. If the resident was refusing TED hose, the family
was contacted, and staff would approach the resident again later in the day. Once the family and physician
were notified and orders have been given, the care plan needs to be modified to reflect the physician's
orders. If Resident # 80 had been refusing the TED hose for a period of time the physician should be
contacted and an alternative treatment approach should have been ordered. The ADON stated the resident
had an order for diuretics and the TED hose but that should have been discontinued.
During an observation on 9/17/20 at 10:10 AM, Resident #80 was seated in her wheelchair visiting with
another resident. She did not have on TED hose at this time.
During an interview with the DON on 09/17/20 at 10:50 AM, he stated if a resident refused he expected the
CNA to report to the nurse, the nurse should re-attempt, and if they are unable to encourage the resident,
the family should be contacted. If the resident had multiple days of refusing an order, the physician should
be contacted and informed about the refusals and orders should be adjusted accordingly.
A review of the policy and procedure titled Person-Centered Care Plan, effective date: 11/28/16, revision
date: 7/1/19 revealed:
POLICY: The center must develop and implement a baseline person-centered care plan within 48 hours for

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, clinical record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure storage of respiratory
equipment, of a facemask, in accordance with professional standards of practice for three residents (#4,
#20 and #44) of 17 residents receiving respiratory treatments for four of four days observed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. On 9/15/20 at 10:05 a.m., an observation was conducted of Resident #4's room; the resident was in the
bathroom and it was observed that the respiratory (nebulizer) facemask was hanging on the side of the
bedside nightstand, and not properly stored in the plastic treatment bag. (Photographic Evidence
Obtained.)
During observation and interview of Resident #4's on 9/16/20 at 9:00 a.m., the respiratory (nebulizer)
facemask was observed to be hanging on the side of the bedside table. The resident was observed to be
looking at the facemask and was asked if she had previously had a nebulizer treatment that morning.
Resident #4 revealed that it was her fault that the facemask was not stored properly in the plastic treatment
bag. She further indicated she did not want to get the nurses in trouble.
An observation was conducted of Resident #4 on 09/18/20 at 8:15 a.m., lying in bed and watching
television. During the observation it was noted that the nebulizer facemask was again hanging off the
bedside nightstand but had liquid in the nebulizer cup below the nebulizer facemask piece. The resident
was asked if she had been given her nebulizer treatment today, and she stated, Oh no, I was just going to
put it on my face and do it. Resident #4 was further asked if the nurse had poured the nebulizer medication
in the cup piece and left the room. The resident indicated that she did and left the room because she knows
how to administer it herself.
An immediate interview was conducted at 8:22 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), who was informed
of the observation and confirmed that Resident #4 did not have a physician order to administer her own
medications.
An interview was conducted with Staff F, Unit Manager, (UM) on 09/18/20 at 10:26 a.m., who earlier in the
morning was seen administering medications on Resident #4's hallway. Staff F was informed of the prior
observation made of Resident #4's nebulizer facemask, with nebulizer medication inside the cup. Staff F
stated, I did not give the resident the nebulizer medication. It was from a previous shift, and I do confirm
that the nurse needs to be in the room while administering the nebulizer treatment. The resident needs a
self-medication order to administer her own nebulizer.
Clinical record review of Resident #4's care plan revealed that she was re-admitted on [DATE] with multiple
diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), systolic (congestive) heart failure,
and shortness of breath. A further record review of physician orders for Resident #4 revealed:
Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution 0.5-2.5 (3) MG/3ML (milligram/milliliter) 1 vial inhale orally every 6 hours for
COPD (6:00 a.m.,12:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.)
2. During a random observation on 09/15/20 at 10: 39 a.m., Resident #20 was observed to be sitting in a
wheelchair dressed and groomed. Respiratory equipment of a nebulizer facemask was observed,

A repeat observation of Resident #20's room was conducted on 09/15/20 at 11:41 a.m. The facemask was
noted to be on the bedside nightstand not stored appropriately in a plastic bag , but this time next to a roll
of toilet paper. (Photographic Evidence Obtained.)
Residents Affected - Few
During a subsequent observation of Resident #20's room on 09/17/20 at
8:35 a.m., the nebulizer facemask was observed to be on the bedside nightstand again improperly stored.
The resident was asked about the nebulizer treatment, and where it is usually stored. She stated Yes when
it's completed it goes on the bedside nightstand, I put it there when it's done. Resident #20 further indicated
that her nebulizer treatment was administered early in the morning and when it was completed it stays on
the bedside nightstand until staff put it away in the plastic bag next to the nebulizer respiratory machine.
On 9/18/20 at 8:00 a.m. an observation was conducted of Resident #20's room. During the observation, the
nebulizer facemask was not stored in the plastic bag near the respiratory nebulizer machine. Staff F, Unit
Manager (UM) for the North Hall, was outside the resident's room and confirmed the presence of the
nebulizer mask on the nightstand bedside table.
Clinical record review for Resident #20 indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses that
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), systolic (congestive) heart failure, and shortness
of breath. Record review of a physician order dated on 4/02/20 for Resident # 20 revealed Albuterol Sulfate
Nebulization Solution (2.5 Mg/3 ML [milligrams/milliters]) 0 0.083, 3ML inhale orally via nebulizer one time a
day (06:30 a.m.) for Diagnosis of Shortness of Breath (SOB).
3. On 09/15/20 at 10:47 a.m. an observation was conducted of Resident #44 lying in bed sleeping. During
the observation the resident's respiratory facemask was seen to be on top of the continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) machine, near a role of toilet paper, and not stored appropriately in the plastic bag.
Subsequent observation was conducted at 12:00 p.m., of the CPAP facemask still on top of the CPAP
machine located on the bedside nightstand, and not stored appropriately. (Photographic Evidence
Obtained.)
Clinical record review for Resident #44 indicated that he was re-admitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses
that included systolic (Congestive) heart failure, cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of unspecified
cerebral artery, non-ST Elevation (NSTEMI) Myocardial Infarction, and sleep apnea.
A record review of Resident #44's recent care-plan dated 8/12/20, indicated the resident was care-planned
for risk of respiratory issues related to sleep-apnea- requiring CPAP therapy at bedtime.
On 9/17/20 at 4:30 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON was
informed of the observations made of the respiratory (nebulizer) facemask being left out on Resident #20's
bedside nightstand. The DON was also shown two photographs of the nebulizer facemask near a
toothbrush, magazines and next to a towel on the bedside nightstand. The DON stated, I will immediately
have staff change out her nebulizer facemask and tubing for it, and I will make sure the staff put it in the
bag when they do the nebulizer treatments.
A second interview was conducted with the DON on 9/18/20 at 12:05 p.m. The DON was informed of the
earlier 08:00 a.m. observation, and that Staff F confirmed its presence of being left out on the

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation of the resident, review of the resident's medical record, and interview with facility staff, the
facility did not ensure that one resident (#25) of 30 sampled residents, received mental health services
appropriate for his assessed needs.
Findings included:
Resident #25 had multiple admissions to the facility based on a review of the electronic medical record and
the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessments. The resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included Adult Failure to Thrive, Schizophrenia, and Metabolic Encephalopathy.
A transfer to the hospital, documented in the MDS assessments, was dated 8/13/2020 with a return to the
facility on [DATE]. The resident was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and returned on 08/31/2020. The
resident was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and returned on 09/11/2020. The resident was
transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and returned on 09/16/2020.
When the resident returned to the facility on [DATE], admission paperwork included the Pre-admission
Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) evaluation which identified the resident as having the following
Mental Illnesses: BiPolar Disorder, Depressive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Other: Psychosis. The resident
was identified as currently receiving services for MI (Mental Illness). Section II of the Evaluation identified
the resident as having had Psychiatric treatment more intensive than outpatient care. The individual was
identified as exhibiting actions or behaviors that may make them a danger to themselves or others. The
resident had not been diagnosed as having a primary diagnosis of Dementia or a related neurocognitive
disorder, including Alzheimer's Disease. This admission was not a Provisional Admission.
Section IV of the PASRR determined that the Individual may not be admitted to a Nursing Facility. due to
the resident's Serious Mental Illness.
The form was signed by the Hospital's MSW (Masters prepared Social Worker) on 08/30/2020, with the
resident signing on 08/31/2020. According to page one of the evaluation, the Social Worker was requesting
admission for the resident to this facility.
A review of the Minimum Data Set Quarterly Assessment completed on 07/10/20 identified the resident as
having moderately impaired cognition (Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 12). The resident answered
yes to several Mood - related questions, indicating almost daily he had trouble sleeping, felt tired with little
energy, had a poor appetite, felt badly about himself, and was fidgety and restless. According to the
assessment the resident had behavioral symptoms, needed extensive assist by one staff member for
Activities of Daily Living, and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The resident was 67 tall and
weighed 108 lbs, which was 73% of his ideal body weight for his height. The MDS listed diagnoses that
included seizure disorder and schizophrenia. At the time of the MDS assessment, he was not taking any
antipsychotic medications, but he was taking an antidepressant and a hypnotic.
His care plan (initiated on 11/11/2019 with revision on 09/16/2020), included focus areas of being

resistive to care, refusing to talk, refusing to take medication, hitting out and yelling at staff, calling 911, and
urinating in the courtyard, which were identified as all being related to mood/psychiatric disorders.
Interventions were to include allowing time for the resident to express his feelings; Staff were to provide
empathy, encouragement and reassurance; the need for psych/behavioral health needs was to be
evaluated; When the resident became resistive, care or activities were to be postponed to allow time for the
resident to regain composure; Staff were to provide a calm quiet, well - lit environment and to explain all
care including the procedure and the reason; and Social services was to provide support .
The care plan (initiated on 07/12/20) also focused on the resident's risk for distressed or fluctuating mood
symptoms related to verbalizing various mood issues and the diagnosis of schizophrenia and metabolic
encephalopathy. Interventions were for psych intervention as needed; observing for signs or symptoms of
worsening sadness or depression; existing psychiatric disorders or new psychiatric disorders; and the
resident was to be encouraged to seek staff support for his distressed mood, to focus on the positive.
The care plan (initiated on 12/03/2019) also focused on the resident's PASRR II level of determination
secondary to his diagnoses of schizophrenia, adjustment disorder with depressed mood. The intervention
included arranging for a PASRR re-evaluation if there was a significant change in status that may result in
new evidence of a possible mental disorder.
Review of the resident's medical record revealed a PASRR completed on 10/23/2019 which indicated the
need for a Level II evaluation. The Level II evaluation, dated 12/03/2019, indicated the resident's nursing
facility placement was recommended to continue and that he didn't require specialized services for serious
mental illness. A new PASRR was completed on 08/30/2020 which determined that the resident had a
Serious Mental Illness and that he shouldn't be admitted to a nursing facility. A level II evaluation was
required prior to being admitted to a nursing facility. The resident was admitted to the nursing facility on
08/31/2020.
The resident was followed monthly by a medical management Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
(APRN) . Review of the note dated 08/25/2020, just after and also prior to a hospitalization, included the
assessment, patient was seen for evaluation since return from inpatient stay. Patient continues to have
paranoid delusions and has been calling 911. Patient was in his room with his blanket over his head, he
becomes agitated with questioning and is minimally engaged. He asks why are you here? Patient appears
to be paranoid as before when patient was off of haldol. Patient might benefit from an increase in haldol to
manage psychotic features during acute phase.
The APRN assessed the resident on 09/17/2020, after he had returned from the hospital admission due to
an Involuntary admission (Baker Act) and documented : patient continues to have behaviors that were
present before psychiatric inpatient stay. patient expresses delusions of persecution and harm as well as
occasional hallucinations that were not observed this visit. The APRN recommended consider alternative
placement tailored to psychiatric needs if family honors patients refusals.
In a phone interview on 09/18/2020 beginning at 12:33 p.m., the Medical Director reported that they had
attempted to help the resident, by re-admitting him, but the resident seemed impossible to offer care to due
to his behaviors. The Medical Director reported that he didn't think Resident # 25 was appropriate for a
nursing home due to his noncompliance. The Medical Director reported that the facility had no control over
the admission process, as the Corporate Admissions Office directs admissions.

On 09/17/20 at approximately 9:20 a.m., the resident was observed awake, eyes open, lying on his side in
bed with his covers pulled up under his neck. He stared at this Surveyor when greeted. He was given an
explanation of this surveyor's purpose for visiting him, he was asked several questions such as how he felt,
how he slept and how his breakfast was. The resident did not answer, but continued to stare at this
Surveyor, until the aide answered the question about the resident's breakfast. Later that morning, before
lunch, the resident was observed sitting up in bed, with his sheet pulled over his head. Again, he did not

expectation is that the facility acts on his recommendations at least before the next review date. He stated
that he is unsure as to why the facility was not responding to his recommendations. He reported that he
sends the physician a copy of the recommendations. The Consultant Pharmacist reported that he has not
contacted the medical director regarding the lack of follow-up to the consultant pharmacy recommendations
when he does not hear back from the administrator or DON. The Consultant Pharmacist reported that if he
sees any blanks on the eMAR that are significant he will make recommendations to address that as well.
Phone interview on 9/18/20 at 12:36 PM the Medical Director revealed that he had not been contacted
directly about the medication reviews conducted by the Consultant Pharmacist. He reported that his
expectation is that if the Consultant Pharmacist saw blanks in the eMAR that the pharmacist would make a
recommendation to follow up. He reported that his expectation is that medications used to monitor resident
behavior be monitored each shift by the staff and that if this is not done that recommendations from the
Consultant Pharmacist are expected.

included Psychotic Disorder with Delusions due to known physiological condition. A review of physician
orders indicated Risperdal Solution 0.25 ml via G-tube one time a day for delusions.
A continued record review revealed no documentation of behavioral monitoring since the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Clinical record review of psychiatric progress notes indicated the resident
has been taking Risperdal Solution, and managed by facility Psychiatrist and Advanced Practice registered
nurse (APRN). The APRN writes on most recent progress notes Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) remains
clinically inadvisable at this time.
A continued record review revealed target behavior documentation for behavior monitoring was not being
conducted, based on observation of Electronic Medical Record (EMAR) for 7/1/2020 to 7/31/2020, 8/1/2020

Resident # 44 had not had behavior monitoring conducted for the past three (3) months on the EMAR for
the medication Risperdal. The DON confirmed that target behavior monitoring was not being conducted and
revealed that his staff are not able to monitor Resident #44 appropriately if they do not know what they are
specifically supposed to be looking for when assessing behavior monitoring.
On 09/18/2020 at 12:08 AM a telephone interview was conducted with the pharmacy consultant for the
facility. He was notified that the facility was not conducting anti-psychotic behavior and side effects
monitoring for the medication Risperdal. He revealed that the facility must be monitoring psychotic

with the psychologist and they discuss GDR, but these meetings are not a team meeting. He reported that
he is unaware of previous attempts of GDR.
During an interview on 9/18/20 at 12:36 PM the Physician stated he has not been contacted directly about
the medication reviews by the pharmacist. He states the psychotropic medications review should be
completed by the psychologist and they should consider nursing recommendations with behaviors to make
the GDR recommendations accordingly. He reported that the psychologist will make the original
recommendations for medication changes and the physician will follow up on any changes.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, review of maintenance requests and proposals for work, an interview with the
Director of Dietary, the Director of Maintenance and the Administrator, the facility failed to maintain
equipment and the facility premises in safe operating condition as evidence by the facility: 1. failed to
ensure that four ceiling tiles surrounding air vents in two of four resident halls were clean and free of dark
stains and black spots; 2. failed to replace floor tiles and a loose wall board in the kitchen; and 3. failed to
replace a freezer door that was identified as not fitting the door frame due to a build-up of ice.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. On 09/16/2020 at 8:49 a.m., three ceiling tiles surrounding outflow air vents on the 400 hall were noted to
be stained with a brown color and the metal flanges on the ceiling vents were noted to be soiled with a
black spotty substance. The three ceiling tiles (Photographic Evidence Obtained, photo # 5, 6, 7), were
adjacent to rooms #402, #406, and #408.
The fourth ceiling tile was observed outside of the storage room on the 300 hall. In an interview with the
Director of Maintenance, on 09/18/2020 beginning at 2:45 p.m., the ceiling tiles were observed. The
Director of Maintenance, while observing the ceiling tiles and outflow vents, reported that the brown
staining on the ceiling tiles was only a buildup of dust that had been smeared into the surface of the tile.
The Director of Maintenance reported that the black spots observed on the ceiling vent flanges were only
dust, and they would disappear if the flanges were dusted.
When it was suggested that the brown stains on the ceiling tiles resembled water stains, the Director of
Maintenance disagreed, commenting that there had been no problem with water in the ceiling that would
have stained the ceiling tiles.
In an interview with the Administrator on 09/18/2020 beginning at 2:20 p.m., the Administrator confirmed
that she had been made aware of the discolored ceiling tiles and the black spots on the vent flanges, but
she had not observed them for herself. She reported that they would need to remove the tiles and see what
was happening above.
2. On 09/15/2020 beginning at 9:30 a.m., an initial tour was made of the facility's main kitchen. Floor tiles in
the dish machine room were noted to be cracked with some missing tile pieces allowing water to collect in
the depressions. (Photographic evidence obtained - see photos 3 and 4.)
In the dish machine room, at the exit door to the service hall, where meal tray carts entered the dish
machine room, the last tile in the baseboard was noted to be standing away from the door frame. This tile
was attached to the wall board, and when the tile was moved, the tile and wall board moved. The loose tile
and the unsecured wall board provided an entry point for vermin.
The request for maintenance of the broken floor tiles in the dish machine room was reviewed and noted to
have been requested on 7/17/20 . The work needed was described as broken tiles are located in dish room
area and by freezer door. The priority was marked as High.
3. On 09/15/2020 at 9:40 a.m., the door to the walk-in freezer was noted to be ill-fitting in the door frame.
When the door was pulled opened, a wire rack just inside of the freezer and to the left, was noted to be
storing boxed product which was frosted with ice. The door threshold of the freezer

was noted to have a buildup of ice pushing up the metal threshold plate. The Dietary Manager reported at
that time, that the freezer door needed to be replaced and this had been a problem as the ice buildup kept
the door from shutting fully.
On 09/18/20 at 10:30 a.m., the freezer door was noted to have a chunk of ice (approximately 4 inches high)
at the juncture of the bottom of the door and floor. (Photographic evidence obtained - Photo # 1, 2). When
the freezer door was pulled open, ice was noted to have built up under the threshold, pushing the threshold
up. (See photo 2).
Again, the Dietary Manager reported that the freezer door was a problem and there had been discussion
about having to replace the entire walk-in freezer/refrigerator unit. He reported that the freezer door had
been replaced in the past , but that didn't ensure the door fit well curtailing the ice buildup.
The Director of Maintenance provided documents related to the replacement of the walk-in freezer. They
were noted to date back to 10/30/2018 with the description of service: requested service for the walk- in
freezer that is not properly working. There is ice buildup and the heating/cycle is off. Work completed onsite.
Technician arrived on site and found the frames degraded. Recommend replacement of the unit.
On 12/17/18 a second maintenance request was reviewed and noted with the description: requests service
for the buildup of ice on their walk-in freezer. They think that air is entering from the door. Work completed
onsite. Technician determined the walk-in freezer box needs to be replaced. This request included that a
quote for the work was needed.
A quote provided to the facility, dated 02/22/2019, was reviewed. The quote included the facility's address
as the site where the work would be performed, but the project scope, replacement of existing walk in
cooler/freezer combo unit with new walk in cooler/freezer unit, named a different facility. The quote was not
signed by the facility. The quote included a photo of the freezer, which mirrored photo #2, obtained by the
surveyor, which showed ice under the freezer floor at the threshold.
The request for replacement of the walk-in units for the 2021 capital budget included the description, The
walk-in walls are deteriorated and are causing major condensation issues in the freezer. The box itself has
had the freezer door replaced in the past. The State wrote this up on their last visit. Some of the
refrigeration components have already been replaced. Proposals for the replacement of this box were
obtained last year as the walls of the box itself are splitting at the seams from being frozen and melting.
The request for maintenance of the broken floor tiles in the dish machine room was reviewed and noted to
have been requested on 7/17/20 . The work needed was described as broken tiles are located in dish room
area and by freezer door. The priority was marked as High.

present confirmed that there was a large hole behind the resident's bed in room [ROOM NUMBER],
confirmed that an electrical outlet was hanging leaving an open hole in the wall in room [ROOM NUMBER],
and confirmed that the call light string was wrapped around the grab bar in the bathroom of room [ROOM
NUMBER]. Interview with the Director of Maintenance at this time revealed that staff are to report all
maintenance concerns to him and then it would be reflected on the Building Management Software system.
He reported that he has a helper and that they both would be responsible to fix these concerns.
A request was made to provide from the Building Management Software system any type of documentation
that would indicate that this concern was presented to the maintenance department and to provide the
facility policy on maintenance. This documentation was not provided.
Review of the facility policy titled, Accommodation of Needs, with an effective date of 6/15/05 revealed: 1.
The Center must provide:
