Based on observations and interviews, the facility failed to maintain the facility's laundry services in a clean
and sanitary manner.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
A tour of the laundry room was conducted on 02/02/23 at 11:00 AM with a fellow surveyor and Staff S,
Laundry Aide and Staff T, Housekeeping Manager. The following areas of concern were observed, and
photographic evidence was obtained:
1) In the dirty linen sorting area, it was observed that 2 of the 3 dirty laundry carts had interior build-up of
dust, dirt, and debris; and the exteriors of the carts were worn, ripped, and rusty. This could potentially
contaminate the soiled linens.
2) In the dirty linen sorting area, it was observed that 2 used isolation gowns were hanging on the wall on
hooks, indicating the staff intended to re-use them. Staff T stated the staff members do re-use the isolation
gowns. The surveyors explained that it is best practice for the staff members to wear new isolation gowns
for each load of laundry to ensure they are not cross-contaminating loads.
3) In the dirty linen sorting area, it was observed that there was a wet, used mop head sitting in the bottom
of a plastic garbage can. The surveyors explained that this can breed bacteria which can cause
contamination in the facility.
4) When assessing the 2 washing machines, it was observed that 3 of 4 external filters on the 2 washing
machines were dust and dirt laden. 1 of the 4 external filters was missing. Staff T stated she had attempted
to clean the filter approximately 1 week prior to the survey, but it fell apart. It was noted by the surveyors
that there was a sign directly under each of the filters which stated Clean filter daily. Staff T agreed the
filters were not being cleaned regularly.
5) Observed in the clean linen area were 2 additional isolation gowns hanging on the wall on hooks,
indicating the staff intended to re-use them. Staff T stated the staff members do re-use the isolation gowns.
The surveyors explained that it is best practice for the staff members to wear new isolation gowns for each
load of laundry to ensure they are not cross-contaminating loads.
6) Also observed in the clean linen area were 5 clean laundry carts, all of which had interior build-up of
dust, dirt, and debris, and the exteriors of the carts were worn, ripped, and rusty. This could potentially
contaminate the clean linens. Each of the clean laundry carts also had an inner bottom which was
supposed to operate on a spring-system which, when working properly, would cause the inner cart bottom
to raise up to assist the staff in the removal of the clean linens from the cart. In all of the clean laundry
carts, this spring-system was broken, which caused the carts to not be in proper working order. This also
caused the inner bottom to be loose, which made it possible for linens to become misplaced under the
inner bottom.
7) When assessing the 3 dryers, it was observed that each of the internal dryer drums had a thick, heavy
build-up of rust, black matter, and unidentified melted substances around the entire surface. This could
potentially contaminate the clean linens.

8) Also during the assessment of the dryers, it was observed that 1 of the dryer door gaskets was cracked
and in disrepair, which created an uncleanable surface. This could also potentially contaminate the clean
linens.
9) During the assessment of the clean laundry carts, it was observed that 1 of the cart covers had a large
hole present at the top. This could potentially cause the clean linens to become contaminated during
transport to the units for resident and staff use.
An interview was conducted with a member of the corporate office after the tour of the laundry room was
conducted. The areas of concern were discussed with this individual and he stated there were
improvements already in the works.

On 02/02/23 at 1:56 PM, an interview was conducted with Staff Q, RN who stated that he gave a treatment
to a resident and locked the treatment cart. The treatment cart contained the following medications to
include: zinc oxide, Fluocinonide external cream and Vitamin A & D ointment.
Residents Affected - Some
6) During a tour of the facility conducted on 01/30/23 at 4:25 PM, the surveyor observed an unlocked
respiratory treatment cart on the 412-421 hallway near the nurse's station. At 4:50 PM, an unknown staff
member came to the cart to retrieve medications for a resident and locked it when she walked away. The
surveyor inquired to Staff B, Unit Manager for the staff member's name but Staff B could not provide the
name, stating it was a new employee and she could not remember what her name was.
7) A medication administration observation was conducted on 01/31/23 at 8:45 AM with Staff C, Registered
Nurse. During the medication administration, Staff C left the resident's prescription eye drops unattended at
the bedside when she went to wash her hands and obtained clean gloves for the administration of the eye
drops. Also during the medication administration, the resident refused her Miralax (a powder medication
which is mixed with water for administration that is used to aid in digestive health). After exiting the
resident's room, Staff C set the refused Miralax into the garbage can on the side of the medication cart.
Staff C did not pour the medication out into a Drug Buster bottle or into the garbage can, but rather set the
full cup into the garbage can.
8) A medication administration observation was conducted on 02/01/23 at 8:15 AM with Staff D, Licensed
Practical Nurse. While Staff D prepared the resident's medications, the surveyor noted an open, half
consumed water bottle inside one of the drawers of the medication cart. After the medication
administration, the surveyor observed Staff D place the used blood pressure cuff back into the medication
cart without cleaning it first. The surveyor proceeded to interview Staff D about these two observations.
When questioned about the proper procedure for cleaning a blood pressure cuff, he hesitantly stated he
should have cleaned the blood pressure cuff after it was used on the resident and before it was returned to
the medication cart. When questioned about the water bottle, he hesitantly replied I'm sorry and promptly
threw the bottle into the garbage can on the side of the medication cart.
9) An observation was conducted on 02/01/23 at 8:36 AM in which Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse, left
her medication cart unlocked and unattended in the hallway outside of room [ROOM NUMBER]. This was
also observed by Staff G, Risk Manager. Staff G promptly locked the medication cart while Staff F was in a
resident's room administering medications. When Staff F returned to the medication cart, Staff G reminded
her that the medication carts should be locked when not in use.
10) A medication administration observation was conducted on 02/01/23 at 8:42 AM with Staff F, Licensed
Practical Nurse. This medication administration was also observed by Staff G, Risk Manager. While
preparing the resident's medications, Staff F dropped a medication tablet. She picked up the medication
tablet and bent down toward the garbage can on the side of the medication cart. Staff F then looked back at
Staff G who stated, don't you have a bottle of med buster in your cart?. Staff F stated she did not know.
Staff F then proceeded to look in the drawers of her medication cart until she found the Drug Buster bottle.
Please note, it appeared to the surveyor during this interaction that Staff F did not intend to dispose of the
medication tablet properly. During the medication administration, the resident refused her Metamucil (a
powder medication which is mixed with water for administration that is used to aid in digestive health) along
with Eldertonic (a prescribed liquid multivitamin supplement) and Pro-Stat (a prescribed liquid protein
supplement). After exiting the resident's room, Staff F looked to Staff G and inquired of the proper way to
dispose of the refused Metamucil,

Eldertonic, and Pro-Stat. Staff G told Staff F it was fine to put these into the garbage can. Staff F proceeded
to set the refused medication and supplements into the garbage can on the side of the medication cart. She
did not pour the medication and supplements out into a Drug Buster bottle or into the garbage can, but
rather set the full cups into the garbage can.
An interview was conducted on 02/02/23 at 2:22 PM with the facility's Director of Nursing and Assistant
Director of Nursing regarding these concerns. Both the Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of
Nursing agreed these liquid medications and supplements were disposed of incorrectly and should have
been poured into bottles of Drug Buster.

Observation of resident trays leaving the kitchen were noted to have scrambles eggs that were green and
grayish in color. Further observation noted that the eggs in the pan located on the steam table were also
green and graying in color. Interview conducted with the Certified Dietary Manager confirmed the surveyor's
observation and the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) was requested to stop serving the off color
scrambles eggs and prepare a new pan. Subsequent interview with the Corporate Food Service Director on
01/31/23 noted that the eggs were held too long at too high of a temperature, causing the off color
appearance. The Director stated that a new pan of eggs was prepared and the cooks have been in-serviced
on proper preparation of scrambled eggs.
Photographic evidence obtained.
3) During the observation of the lunch meal in the main kitchen on 1/30/23 at 11:30 AM, the pureed food
plates being served to the residents were observed. The observation noted that the pureed meatball,
pureed spaghetti, and pureed vegetables were spread out across the plate and running into each other
across the entire surface of the plate. It was also noted that a red sauce was poured all over the mixture of
the pureed meatballs (brown), spaghetti (white), and vegetable (green). Interview with the Corporate Food
Service Director at the time of the observation noted to state the appearance of the pureed plate was
unattractive and unacceptable in appearance. It was also discussed that if the pureed mixture is running all
over the plate it could mean that the pureed foods are being watered down/thinned and potentially affecting
the nutritional value of the pureed foods. The Corporate Director stated that the cooks would be in-serviced
on proper preparation of pureed foods. The photos of the pureed foods were shared with the Administrator
on 01/30/23.

observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain resident's private health
information in a secure manner and the facility failed to follow physician's orders for Resident #415.
The findings included:
1) An observation was conducted on 02/01/23 at 8:36 AM in which Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse, left
the computer on top of her medication cart open with resident information visible along with a piece of
paper containing resident information left face-up on her medication cart in the hallway outside of room
[ROOM NUMBER]. This was also observed by Staff G, Risk Manager. Staff G promptly covered the
computer screen with the piece of paper while Staff F was in a resident's room administering medications.
When Staff F returned to the medication cart, Staff G reminded her that the computer screens need to be
turned off and any papers should be left face-down. Staff F acknowledged her, saying I should have
minimized it (regarding the computer screen).
2) During a medication administration observation conducted on 02/01/23 at 8:42 AM with Staff F, Licensed
Practical Nurse, it was noted that when Staff F and the surveyor entered the resident's room to administer
the medications, Staff F left a piece of paper containing resident information, face-up on her medication
cart in the hallway outside of room [ROOM NUMBER], despite having just been reminded by Staff G to
ensure resident information is not visible as it is a HIPAA violation.
3) An observation was conducted on 02/01/23 at 9:40 AM of a piece of paper containing resident
information left face-up on a medication cart on the 412-421 hallway. Further observation and interviews
revealed the medication cart and paper containing resident information belonged to Staff D, License

this is a HIPAA violation.
4) During a tour of the facility conducted on 02/02/23 at 8:07 AM, the surveyor observed a piece of paper
containing resident information left face-up on a medication cart in the hallway outside of room [ROOM
NUMBER]. Further observation and interviews revealed the medication cart and paper containing resident
information belonged to Staff Q, Registered Nurse. Further observation revealed Staff Q exit the room and
continue to the next resident's room to administer medications. After acknowledging the surveyor was
present and prior to entering the next room, he turned his paper face-down.
5) During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 01/30/23 at 10:15 AM, Resident #415 complained to the
surveyor that she needed to have her lung drained. She stated she had lung cancer, and her lung was
supposed to be drained every other day. Resident #415 further stated her lung had not been drained since
01/26/23 and she was feeling very short of breath, despite being on oxygen at 5 liters via nasal cannula. An
interview was immediately conducted with Staff A, Registered Nurse who was assigned to care for
Resident #415 on 01/30/23. The surveyor asked Staff A if she was aware of Resident #415's lung issue and
presence of the pleurX catheter (a specialty catheter inserted into a person's chest to allow for drainage of
accumulated fluid-usually used in the presence of lung cancer or advanced heart failure). Staff A stated she
was not aware that Resident #415 had a pleurX catheter. The surveyor then asked Staff A who at the facility
would be responsible for draining a pleurX catheter. Staff A stated she did not know but she would find out.
