signed by the wife to indicate that she was notified and understood her rights to appeal the decision to
discontinue skilled services.
Review of the Social Worker (SW)'s progress notes dated February 15, 2023 showed that on 2/15/2023 at
11:55 AM, the Social Worker called Resident #153's family member to inform that the resident would be

On 03/29/23 at 10:31 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) informed that she has been working at this facility
for two years. She said that the reason why Employee C's incident notes were crossed out was because the
resident did not actually fall. The DON acknowledged that she crossed-out the nurse's documentation. The
DON added that the resident did not fall out of bed as the nurse had reported because the nurse and the
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) would first have to assess the resident on the floor before putting him
back in bed, which was not done. The DON ensued and informed that normally when a staff inadvertently
does a wrong documentation, they would discuss the matter with the nurse and have the nurse correct the
documentation in Point Click Care (PCC). The DON attested to the fact that the issue was not discussed
with Employee C who documented the fall incident of 11/4/22.
The DON was then asked to provide documentation of the incident and the Neuro Checks. The DON
explained that the nurses' progress notes are usually linked with incident/investigation reports, and once
the investigation report is struck out, the nurses' notes are thereby struck out. The DON said, she could not
provide evidence of what had actually occurred on the day of 11/4/22. Upon insisting that the struck out
incident report be provided, the DON finally acknowledged that she had not conducted an incident
investigation, but provided a copy of the incident report.
Review of the incident report dated 11/4/22 revealed it was prepared by another unidentified staff member
at 5:10 PM, whereas the incident notes were written by Employee C. The report showed that Resident #57
had a skin tear on top of the scalp; he was only oriented to person; For predisposing environmental factors,
other was selected; and, there was no witness.
Review of the Nurses' Progress notes dated 12/9/22, documenting the fall of that day, showed that Resident
#57 slid out of his wheelchair while sitting by the nursing station. He sustained no injury per assessment.
Review of the Hospital records dated 11/04/22 at 1:29 PM and referencing the resident's fall/incident of
11/4/22 revealed that Resident #57's Chief complaint was C2 fracture fall out bed. The section of the
hospital final report with heading titled History of Present Illness documented the following:
Patient is a pleasant [age] male . He apparently fell out of bed and had some complaints of neck
discomfort. He states that he feels better at this point in time. Patient denies having prior history of issues
with his cervical spine. States that he has no numbness or tingling and no new weakness. He was placed
on hard cervical collar was seen in outside facility where CT scan revealed suspicion of a small anterior
fracture of the C2 vertebral body.
The X-ray diagnostic report completed on 11/6/22 confirmed a fracture of the Cervical spine at the C2 level.
The Report concluded that the fracture was a non-displaced fracture C2. There was very little change in
position of the cervical spine with attempted flexion and extension. No subluxation.
According to the Director of Nursing, none of the aforementioned protocols were followed since Resident
#57's injuries were considered fall-related. Yet, no investigation was done to identify its source.
On 3/30/2023 at 2:34 PM, during an observation in the room, Resident #57 was observed sitting in his
wheelchair. The bed was observed in high position and the floor mats were placed erect on the left side of
the bed, by the window.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to follow
physician ordered therapeutic diet of No Concentrated Sweets/Carbohydrate Controlled Diet for 16 facility
residents that included 2 of 2 sampled residents (Resident #8 and #70).
The findings included:
During the review of the approved menu for the week of 03/26/23 it was noted that an 8-ounce portion of
skim milk was to be included for breakfast and dinner meals for residents with physician ordered No
Concentrated Sweet/Carbohydrate Controlled diets.
During the observation of the lunch tray line in the main kitchen on 03/28/23 at 7:30 AM, it was noted that
an 8-ounce portion of Regular Milk was included on trays prepared to be served to No Concentrated
Sweets/Carbohydrate Controlled Diets. An interview conducted with the Dietary Manager (DM) at the time
of the meal observation and was noted to state that she was unaware the approved menu documented
skim milk for No Concentrated Sweets/Carbohydrate Controlled diets. It was also stated by the DM that the
facility does not keep Skim Milk in supply in the dietary department. The surveyor informed the DM that the
Regular Milk could not be served for No Concentrated Sweets/Diabetic diets and to inform the
Administrator and Consultant Dietitian for swift resolution of the issues.
On 03/24/23 at 9 AM the surveyor was informed that an emergency food supply contained 8-ounce portions
of shelf Skim Milk and would be used until skim milk could be purchased or delivered to the facility. The
surveyor informed the DM that the shelf skim milk is room temperature and needed to be served at a

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety that included: ensure dish machine is
properly sanitizing resident dishware, maintain cleanliness of food storerooms, and proper cleaning of food
preparation equipment.
The findings included:
During the initial kitchen observation tour conducted on 03/27/23 at 9 AM conducted with the Dietary
Manager, the following were noted:
1) During the tour, it was noted that the dish machine was in use by facility staff washing resident dishware.
The Dietary Manager stated that the dish machine sanitizes by high temperature. At the request of the
surveyor a temperature test was conducted by the Dietary Manager (DM). The temperature first test was
recorded at 160 degrees F Wash and 160 F degrees Final Rinse. The surveyor informed the DM that the
final rinse temperature did not meet the minimum regulatory temperature of 180 degrees F. It was also
discussed that dietary staff should have been aware that the dish machine was not sanitizing. The surveyor
granted 3 more temperature tests that concluded with the same temperature findings. The surveyor
informed the DM that the dish machine could not be utilized until the final rinse temperature of 180 degrees
was met. The surveyor also requested documentation if the dish machine required outside vendor repair.
The DM stated that resident dishware would be washed and sanitized in the 3-compartment sink and the
dish machine repair vendor would be contacted to assess and repair the final rinse temperature.
On 03/28/23 at 10 AM the DM submitted documentation of dish machine repairs that documented that the
dishwasher was found to be not sanitizing due to mineral build-up in the rinse tubing that would not allow
water flow. The rinse piping was cleared with delime solution. Tested and Rinse Gauge indicating 186
degrees F. Further documented that this is an on-going issue and recommend the installation of a
mineral/lime removing system, i.e. scale stick, sediment filter etc. in order to prevent sanitation failure in the
future.
Following the review, it was further discussed with the DM that the system needs to be monitored more
closely and to make necessary improvements to the dish machine.
2) During the observation of the dish machine room, it was noted that the wall area behind the machine had
numerous areas of dried brown food matter. It was discussed with the DM that the wall areas need to be
cleaned on a more regular basis.
3) During the observation of the dish machine room, it was noted that numerous wall tiles located near the
base of the wall were broken and missing (6), and the wall area was heavily soiled. It was discussed with
the DM that food and debris can become trapped and increase and spread negative bacteria in the dish
machine room.
4) Observation of the Food Dry/Canned Food Storage Room, it was noted that the entire floor area was
heavily soiled and stained. Floor areas under food shelving were particularly soiled and stained. Room
walls were also noted to be soiled and stained. During interview, the DM was noted to state that the room
floor is long overdue for replacement.
