stated he is continent of bowel and bladder, but he needs assistance to transfer from his bed to get to the
bathroom. The resident stated he has had diarrhea because of the antibiotics he is currently on since he
was admitted . He stated it takes the staff forever to come when he presses his call bell to request
assistance in getting to the bathroom when he has a bowel movement. Resident #157 stated he has waited
for over an hour on many occasions and has to defecate in his brief, and then wait for staff to come and
clean him up. He stated this is humiliating and wants to get out of the facility as soon as possible.

should have been cleaned up the minute it occurred. (Photographic Evidence Obtained)

for cleaning behind the washing machines and the last time he cleaned the area was approximately a
month prior.

Maintenance Director stated the third dryer had been broken for the better part of the year and they were
not actively working on fixing it because it was very old, and the parts were not available. He stated they
were waiting to hear from corporate about removing this dryer or replacing it. Upon inspection of the two
working dryers, there was a large amount of multicolored, unidentified material melted and burned on the
inside of the dryer's drums. The Maintenance Director stated he cleaned the drums monthly but agreed it
should be done to remove the matter to not contaminate clean laundry. Upon inspection of the lint traps of
both dryers, a large buildup of lint was present in both. The Environmental and Laundry Lead stated they
cleaned the lint trap areas two times per day, at the end of each shift, 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM. She further

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure physician orders for tube feeding
were followed and failed to ensure tube feeding was administered in a proper manner for one resident
(Resident #31) of one resident reviewed for tube feeding.
Findings included:
Review of the facility's policy titled Enteral Nutrition, date revised January 2014 revealed adequate
nutritional support through enteral feeding will be provided to residents as ordered and central supply will
be responsible for ordering all tube feeding supplies.

not granted by the end of the survey week.
During a tour of the facility conducted on 12/3/24 at 9:55 AM, Resident #31 was observed with a tube
feeding bag hanging. Closer observation revealed a bottle of Jevity 1.5 formula sitting on the bedside table.
There were no labels, date, or time written on the bag or the bottle. The tube feeding machine was set for
the tube feeding to instill at 80 milliliters per hour (mL/hr) and for the water flush to instill at 150 mL every 4
hours (Photographic Evidence Obtained).
Resident #31 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was last readmitted on [DATE]. He had a
medical history significant for respiratory failure, malnutrition, dysphagia, and encephalopathy.
Initial record review for Resident #31 revealed the physician orders for tube feeding included an order

Brief Interview of Mental Status score of 14, which indicates he was cognitively intact. This MDS
Assessment documented that he was receiving tube feeding and had suffered weight loss since being
admitted to the facility.
Review of Resident #31's Care Plan revealed there were care plans in place regarding requires tube
feeding related to dysphagia and poor oral intake and at risk for aspiration related to complaints of difficulty

the bottle tubing was out of stock. She said the night shift staff were responsible for changing the tubing and
they poured the bottled tube feeding formulary into the bag since the facility did not have the correct tubing
to connect to/spike the bottle of tube feeding. She said Resident #31 had an order to receive Jevity 1.5 tube
feeding formulary. When asked how she knew the formulary in the bag was in fact Jevity, being that there
was no indication on the bag or bottle present, she again stated Resident #31 had an order to receive
Jevity 1.5. She then confirmed the tube feeding formulary should have been written on the bag along with
the date and time it was started. The surveyor then asked Staff E, RN, to review and confirm the physician
orders for Resident #31's tube feeding and water flush. She verbalized Resident #31 had an order for Jevity
1.5 to run at 80 mL/hr and for a water flush to run at 150 mL/4 hr. The surveyor again asked her to confirm
the orders in the computer. Staff E, RN independently reviewed Resident #31's orders and verbalized the
Jevity 1.5 order was for 80 mL/hr, and the water flush order was for 180 mL every 4 hours. The surveyor
asked Staff E, RN to confirm on Resident #31's tube feeding machine if the rate for the water flush was 150
mL every 4 hours or 180 mL every 4 hours. Upon observation of the tube feeding machine, Staff E, RN
confirmed the water flush rate was programmed incorrectly and that it was running at 150 mL every 4 hours
instead of 180 mL every 4 hours. Staff E, RN then reprogrammed the water flush rate and then returned to
the computer to re-confirm the order was 180 mL every 4 hours, which she also confirmed had been written
on 10/29/24.
Interviews were conducted with the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing on 12/5/24 at 10:45 AM and with
the facility's Director of Nursing and Administrator on 12/5/24 at 1:00 PM. All agreed Resident #31's tube
feeding bag should have been labeled properly, with the start date and time and tube feeding formulary.
They also agreed the water flush had been running at the incorrect rate until surveyor intervention.

meatus. She then used a new soapy washcloth to clean the catheter tubing from the meatus in an outward
motion. Staff D, CNA performed this step a second time with an additional soapy washcloth and then used
this washcloth to re-clean Resident #31's meatus. She then removed the towel from Resident #31's
abdomen and used it to dry his perineal area.
After the observation was complete, the surveyor asked Staff D, CNA, about the Enhanced Barrier
Precautions sign hanging behind the bed. She stated she was unaware of why the sign was there and that

Dietary Aide pushing a cart with three lunch meal trays from the kitchen to the B-hallway. While walking with
the cart, a spoon fell out of a silverware pack. Staff L, Dietary Aide stopped, picked the spoon up, placed it
back on the meal tray, and continued pushing the cart to the B-hallway. The surveyor then observed Staff L,
Dietary Aide leave the cart and return to the kitchen without telling any other staff that the spoon fell. At
12:29 PM, the surveyor observed the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) retrieve the meal cart
and push it to the end of the B-hallway. The ADON began to distribute the meal tray, but the surveyor
intervened, telling the ADON the spoon had fallen onto the floor and Staff L, Dietary Aide put it back on the
tray without alerting anyone. The ADON removed the spoon and other silverware from the tray and stated
she would go to the kitchen and get the resident new silverware.

she conducted an in-service with the kitchen staff following the above incident regarding anything that falls
to floor must be discarded.

Environmental Services Director and the Environmental Services and Laundry Lead. During this tour, the
surveyor reviewed the facility's laundry area. Upon entering the dirty side of the laundry room, the surveyor
observed numerous pillows in a pile leaning on the top of a floor polishing machine. The Environmental and
Laundry Lead stated they had too many pillows at the facility and she had nowhere else to store them. In
this same room, observed behind the two washing machines was a large buildup of foreign objects,
including gloves, a spray bottle, caps, lint, and debris. The Maintenance Director confirmed he was
responsible for cleaning behind the washing machines and the last time he cleaned the area was
approximately a month prior.
