When a resident is admitted with an indwelling catheter and there is no reason for the catheter, it is
removed per facility protocol/policy. No physician order is needed to remove the indwelling urinary catheter
since this is their protocol/policy. The DON stated that on 08/17/22 the indwelling urinary catheter for
Resident #212 was removed. She acknowledged that the nurse removing the indwelling urinary catheter
should document that the indwelling urinary catheter was removed and there was no documentation that
the indwelling urinary catheter was removed for Resident #212. The DON stated that on 09/13/22 staff
entered an order to insert indwelling urinary catheter for Resident #212, and then entered an order to
discontinue the indwelling urinary catheter the same day (09/13/22). The DON then changed her statement
and said that the indwelling urinary catheter that Resident #212 was admitted with (on 08/16/22) was never
removed as it should have been as per their facility protocol on 08/17/22. She also stated that there was an
order dated 08/17/22 to discontinue the indwelling urinary catheter and again stated that the indwelling
urinary catheter was not removed from the resident per physician order and their protocol. The DON stated

In an observation conducted on 11/16/22 at 9:40 AM, Resident #94 was noted in her room with the
breakfast tray in front of her. She was observed eating one tablespoon of the eggs, but everything else on
the tray was untouched. The closer observation did not show any staff in the room assisting her with her
breakfast meal. At 9:50 AM, the tray was taken out of her room.
In an observation conducted on 11/17/22 at 9:10 AM, Resident #94 was noted in her room with the
breakfast tray on the side table, and Resident #94 was noted asleep. At 9:30 AM, Resident #94 was awake,
but the breakfast tray was untouched.
A review of the chart showed that Resident #94 was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of acute
respiratory failure, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE]
showed that Resident #94 is cognitively severely impaired. Under section G for eating, it showed that
Resident #94 is for supervision with set up only.
The care plan showed that Resident #94 is at risk for an alteration in nutrition and hydration related to
muscle wasting/atrophy, eating disorder, heart failure, dysphagia, cognitive communication deficit, and a
history of being underweight. She requires a mechanically altered diet and requires assistance to complete
meals at times.
A dietary progress note dated 08/04/22 showed that Resident #94 would receive a house supplement three
times a day to increase the nutritional density of intake. A review of Resident #94's weights showed the
following: a weight of 106.7 pounds on 09/12/22, a weight of 110 pounds on 10/10/22, and a weight of
108.4 pounds on 11/16/22.
A Dietary profile dated 10/20/22 showed the following: Resident #94 is on a Pureed diet with a good intake
of meals. Her weight was documented at 110 pounds. It further showed that Resident #94 is eating 75% to
100% of her meals and is at risk for unintended weight loss. Resident #94 needs total assistance with
eating.
The Certified Nursing Assistants' intake of meals showed that on 11/16/22, Resident #94 ate 75-100% of
her breakfast meal and not the 10% or less she ate during the Surveyor's observation. (Photographic
evidence obtained). It was also documented that for lunch on 11/16/22. She ate 75-100% of her breakfast
meal and not the 10% or less she ate during the Surveyor's observation. (Photographic evidence obtained).

In an observation conducted on 11/17/22 at 11:20 AM, Staff D and Staff E, Restorative Certified Nursing
Assistants, were asked by surveyor to take a new weight recording on Resident #94. Using a mechanical
lift, the first recorded weight showed that Resident #94 was at 100.2 pounds, and the second recorded
weight showed that Resident #94 was at 99.8. This showed a significant discrepancy in weight from 108.2
pounds on 11/16/22 to 99.8 pounds a day after. This showed that Resident #94 had a weight loss of about
10 pounds in one month. Staff E stated that he was taught how to use the mechanical lift but was still
determining if it was the correct way to obtain accurate weight on residents.
A review of the mechanical lift direction of use showed that the method that Staff E and Staff D used to take
the weights on Resident #94 in the past before 11/17/22 was incorrect and did not follow the recommended
instructions for use.
In an interview conducted on 11/17/22 at 12:00 PM with Staff C, the Registered Dietitian stated that she
questioned some weight discrepancies in the past but was unsure why. Staff C further acknowledged all
findings.
Review of the facility's policy titled Standards and Guidelines: Weighing/Weight Loss Protocol, revision date
03/05/21 revealed the following:
New admits and readmissions will be weighed upon within the first ten days, monthly and/or as ordered by
the physician.
Monthly weights will be completed by the nursing department.
Weekly and daily weights may be obtained per RD [registered dietitian] or physician orders in order to
monitor clinical status of a resident requiring closer monitoring and intervention.
An interview was conducted on 11/16/22 at 4:35 PM with Staff P, Registered Dietitian and Staff O,
Corporate Dietitian. Staff P stated she documents the assessments on all of the high-risk residents and the
admissions; she clarified that a high-risk resident is any resident on dialysis or tube feeding. Staff P said
Staff C, Registered Dietitian works part time and documents the quarterly assessments on any resident
who is not considered to be high-risk. When asked how quickly she must do her initial assessment on newly
admitted residents, Staff P stated, it depends on how long it takes for the CNAs to do the weights; but that
she has a maximum of seven days to document her initial assessment. Staff O stated it takes an average of
three to four days for the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to obtain a resident's initial weight after
admission and that it could take longer if a resident is admitted over a weekend.
An interview was conducted on 11/16/22 at 4:54 PM with the facility's DON. She stated there is a
Restorative CNA who is responsible for obtaining resident's weights. When asked who documents the
resident's weights in the computerized chart, she stated the weights are documented by either herself or
her assistant. She said when a resident is readmitted to the facility, the resident is weighed per facility
policy-an initial weight is obtained, then weekly weights for three weeks, then the resident is changed to
monthly weights if there are no concerns.
2) During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 11/15/22 at 11:36 AM by a fellow surveyor, it was noted
that Resident #40 had suffered weight loss.
Resident #40 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE].

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, observations and interviews, the facility failed to provide proper tracheostomy care
for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for tracheostomy care, Resident #212.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the facility's written procedure titled Trach Care Competency Check List, undated, revealed the
following:
Apply sterile gloves. The dominant hand will remain sterile. With non-dominant hand, remove oxygen
source. Then unlock and remove inner cannula. Place tracheostomy collar over outer cannula. Quickly
clean the inside and outside of the inner cannula with brush. With sterile gloved hand, replace inner
cannula and lock in place. Replace tracheostomy collar.
Observation of tracheostomy care on 11/18/22 at 10:10 AM for Resident #212. The surveyor obtained
consent from the resident prior to the start of tracheostomy care. The staff members involved in Resident
#212's tracheostomy care were Staff L, Respiratory Therapist, Staff M, Respiratory Therapist, and Staff N,
Respiratory Nurse. The surveyor asked Staff L who normally performs tracheostomy care and respiratory
medication treatments for the residents. Staff L stated it is always the respiratory therapists who perform
these tasks, not the nursing staff. Prior to entering the room, Staff L, Staff M, and Staff N donned isolation
gowns; they each already had masks and shields on their faces.
Upon entering the room, the surveyor noted there were tracheostomy care supplies present on a bedside
table inside the room, wrapped in a bag. Staff L stated they had gathered these supplies. The surveyor
asked Staff L to list the supplies on the table. Staff L stated there was a package of gauze, a split gauze (a
special gauze pad which is manufactured with a cut down the middle so it can safely fit around the
tracheostomy without obstructing the resident's ability to breath properly), inner cannula (which fits inside
the tracheostomy tube), normal saline solution, and a new tracheostomy collar (a fabric device which holds
the tracheostomy in place in the resident's neck).
Staff L and Staff M washed their hands and donned gloves. Staff L then cleaned his stethoscope with an
alcohol swab and Staff M cleaned a pulse oximeter(to check Resident #212's oxygen level) with an alcohol
swab. Staff L wrapped the end of his stethoscope in a surgical (non-sterile) glove and listened to the
resident's lung sounds. Staff M checked Resident #212's oxygen level-it was 95% at 10:30 AM.
Staff L then washed his hands and changed his gloves, donning surgical gloves. Staff L then removed the
old gauze from under Resident #212's tracheostomy at 10:32 AM. Staff L said Resident #212 needed to be
suctioned but noted he did not have a suction catheter kit available in the room. Staff N left the room and
obtained a suction catheter kit at 10:33 AM. Staff L washed his hands and changed his gloves, donning 1
surgical glove and 1 sterile glove, and removed the tracheostomy mask (the device that delivers oxygen
into the tracheostomy). Staff L then suctioned Resident #212's tracheostomy one time at 10:36 AM. The
tracheostomy mask was left off at this time. Staff M washed her hands and donned new gloves. Staff M
poured normal saline solution into a sterile container so Staff L could flush the suction tubing. The
tracheostomy mask was placed back on the tracheostomy site at 10:40 AM. Staff L and Staff M washed
their hands and donned new surgical gloves. Staff L removed the tracheostomy mask from the
tracheostomy site and removed the old inner cannula at 10:42 AM. The tracheostomy mask was left off at
this time. Staff L washed his hands and donned new surgical gloves. Staff L

then removed the new sterile inner cannula from its packaging and told the surveyor that, since he would
not be touching the sterile end of the inner cannula that he did not need to wear sterile gloves for this part
of the procedure. Staff L then placed the new inner cannula with the non-sterile gloves at 10:45 AM. The
tracheostomy mask was placed back on the tracheostomy site at this time. Staff L washed his hands and
donned surgical gloves. Staff L then opened a kit containing sterile gauze and sterile gloves. Staff M
washed her hands and donned surgical gloves. Staff L dumped the contents of the kit onto a sterile cloth
and Staff M poured normal saline solution into a sterile box. Staff L soaked gauze in the normal saline
solution and used this to clean the skin around the tracheostomy site at 10:50 AM. Staff L and Staff M
removed the old tracheostomy collar and placed a new tracheostomy collar at 10:52 AM. Staff L placed a
new split gauze under the tracheostomy site at 10:57 AM and then placed extra gauze around the site to
keep Resident #212's clothes clean from secretions.
The surveyor found the use of surgical (non-sterile) gloves during the changing of the tracheostomy inner
cannula to be an issue during this observation of tracheostomy care. There were also two instances lasting
three to four minutes each where Resident #212's oxygen was left off during the tracheostomy care. Both
issues go against the facility's procedure for tracheostomy care.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to follow infection control guidelines as per
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations during the disconnection of dialysis
treatment for 1 of 1 Resident Observed during dialysis (Resident #8).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
A review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, titled Core Infection
Prevention and Control Practices for Safe Healthcare Delivery in All Settings, Showed the following: Use an
alcohol-based hand rub or wash with soap and water for the following clinical indications: Immediately
before touching a patient, before performing an aseptic task (e.g., placing an indwelling device) or handling
invasive medical devices. Before moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same
patient, after touching a patient or the patient's immediate environment, after contact with blood, body
fluids, or contaminated surfaces, and immediately after glove removal.
https://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/recommendations/core-practices.html#anchor_1556561902.
A record review showed that Resident #8 was admitted on [DATE] with a heart failure end-stage renal
disease diagnosis and is dependent on renal dialysis. Further review showed an order for In House Dialysis
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday dated 11/08/22.
In an observation conducted on 11/16/22 at 12:16 PM in the dialysis treatment room, Resident #8 was
getting ready to be disconnected from her dialysis treatment via Central Venous Catheter (CVC). Staff A, a
Registered Nurse (RN), was observed with clean gloves touching the dialysis machine and then touching
Resident # 8's bloodlines with the same gloves. She touched the dialysis machine again, removed her
gloves, and practiced hand hygiene before placing on a new pair of gloves. Staff A touched the dialysis
machine again and then handled Resident #8's bloodlines with the same dirty gloves. Staff A removed her
dirty gloves, picked a new pair of gloves, placed them down on the glove box, practiced hand sanitation,
and lifted the same pain of gloves again. She continued touching Resident #8's bloodlines. She repeated
that same routine, touching the cleaned glove, placing them down, sanitizing her hands, and putting the
same clean gloved back on before touching Resident #8's bloodlines.
In an interview conducted on 11/16/22 at 12:40 PM, Staff B, Registered Nurse Dialysis Supervisor, stated
that she noticed that Staff A removed her dirty gloves, picked a new pair of gloves, placed them down on
the glove box, practiced hand sanitation, and lifted the same pain of gloves again before touching Resident
#8's bloodlines. She said that she would have to reeducate Staff A on this infection control practice to
ensure she did not repeat the same mistake.

updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to follow the resident's
approved menu for the Regular diets (Resident #189 and Resident #92). This could affect all residents
receiving Regular, consistency diets (145 residents).
The findings included:
A review of the facility's cycle menu showed that on 11/15/22, the following was provided: the Regular Diet
consistency had 3 ounces of honey-glazed ham,4 ounces of red cabbage, and 4 ounces of seasoned
roasted potatoes.
The Diet Type Report provided by the facility showed that 145 residents are on a Regular diet consistency.
In an observation conducted on 11/15/22 at 1:40 PM, Resident #189 was noted in his room with the lunch
tray at his bedside. Closer observation showed a lunch meal that had the following: a slice of glazed ham,
purple cabbage, and roasted potatoes. In this observation, Resident #189 stated that the ham is so small
that he is not sure that it weighs 3 ounces.
A chart review showed that Resident #189 was admitted on [DATE] with type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea
diagnoses. An order was noted for a Regular texture diet dated 08/11/21. The Minimum Data Set (MDS)
dated [DATE] showed that Resident #189 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, which
was cognitively intact.
A chart review showed that Resident #92 had an order for a Regular texture diet dated 11/09/21.
In an observation conducted on 11/15/22 at 1:50 PM, Resident #92's lunch tray was observed with the
following: a piece of glazed ham with a slice of pineapple on top, purple cabbage, and roasted potatoes.
Closer observation showed a small thin slice of the glazed ham that did not look like it was 3 ounces in size.
Surveyor then asked to take the weight of the sliced ham using the facility's food scale. The facility's Food
Service Director asked Surveyor if she could put the sliced pineapple with the ham before taking the
weight. Surveyor explained that pineapple is not considered a protein food. The Food Service Director
placed the sliced ham on the scale, which showed a weight of 1 ounce. In this observation, she was asked
if the glazed ham that was served for lunch today was sliced and measured before serving to ensure that it
was 3 ounces per slice; she said no. she stated that she did not take the weight of each sliced glazed ham
before placing them on the tray line. The Food Service Director stated that she used the food slicer to cut
the glazed ham, and it was set at number 3 for three ounces. She was under the impression that the
number 3 was used for a 3-ounce measuring size. The Food Service Director reported that all the sliced
ham that was served for lunch on 11/15/22 was sliced using the number 3 on the slicer.

was admitted with an indwelling catheter. She stated that they verify if the resident meets criteria and if not,
they get an order to have the catheter removed, the resident does not meet criteria at this time, so it was
removed.
On 11/17/22 at 8:20 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) approached the surveyor to inform that when a
resident is admitted with an indwelling catheter they check to see if the resident meets criteria to have an
indwelling catheter (i.e., Stage IV sacral wound).
During an interview conducted on 11/17/22 at 4:50 PM with Staff U Registered Nurse (RN) when asked
about Resident #212's indwelling urinary catheter, she stated the indwelling urinary catheter was
discontinued yesterday (11/16/22). She added that she took it out in the morning, and she documented it in
the progress notes.
During an interview conducted on 11/17/22 at 4:55 PM with Staff V float Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
when asked when she last took care of Resident #212, she stated about 2 weeks ago. When asked if she
remembered if the resident had an indwelling urinary catheter, she said yes, the resident had a [indwelling
urinary catheter].

indwelling urinary catheter and has not had one since it was discontinued/removed on 08/16/22.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview conducted on 11/18/22 at 10:30 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated that
Resident #212 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with an indwelling urinary catheter. She revealed that
when a resident is admitted with an indwelling urinary catheter and there is no reason for the indwelling
urinary catheter, it is removed per facility protocol/policy. No physician order is needed to remove the
indwelling urinary catheter since this is their protocol/policy. She stated that on 08/17/22 the indwelling
urinary catheter for Resident #212 was removed. She acknowledged that the nurse removing the indwelling
urinary catheter should document that the indwelling urinary catheter was removed and there was no
documentation that the indwelling urinary catheter was removed for Resident #212. The DON stated that on
09/13/22 staff entered an order to insert indwelling urinary catheter for Resident #212, and then entered an
order to discontinue the indwelling urinary catheter the same day (09/13/22). The DON then changed her
statement and stated that the indwelling urinary catheter that Resident #212 was admitted with (on
08/16/22) was never removed as it should have been as per their facility protocol on 08/17/22. She also
stated that there was an order dated 08/17/22 to discontinue the indwelling urinary catheter and again
stated that the catheter was not removed from the resident per physician order and their protocol. The DON
stated that on 09/12/22 the indwelling catheter came out of Resident #212 per nursing documentation and
the nurse documented that she obtained an order to reinsert the indwelling urinary catheter on 09/13/22.
The DON stated that there were no orders for catheter care after 09/13/22. When the DON was asked what
catheter care consists of, she stated it is checking for kinks, making sure it the tubing is patent, make sure it
is covered with a privacy bag, and that the indwelling urinary catheter is still inserted, and free from
complications. She also stated that the catheter care only needs to be done once a day and if it is not
documented on the Treatment Administration Record, then catheter care would be documented in the Daily
Skilled Notes. When asked if the daily catheter care would include cleaning the resident's body and the
catheter at the site of the indwelling catheter insertion site, she stated no, the daily catheter care does not
include cleaning the catheter at insertion site. The DON stated the indwelling urinary catheter that was
reinserted on 09/13/22 had daily catheter care provided and that it was documented daily in the Daily
Skilled Notes. She admitted that there may be a couple of Daily Skilled Notes that were not done. The DON
had Staff Y MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator, and Staff Z MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator PRN
(as needed) to assist her with locating documentation for catheter care being provided to Resident #212.
Staff Y MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator, and Staff Z MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator PRN
verified that from 09/17/22 to 11/16/22 there were 20 days with no documentation for catheter care on the
TAR, Daily Skilled Notes, or Progress Notes for Resident #212 (indicating 20 out of 61 days or 33% there
was no documentation for catheter care).

Ensure resident rooms meet each resident's needs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident's rooms are designed and
equipped for adequate nursing care, comfort, and privacy of residents in a safe manner. Semi-private
resident rooms measured under the required 80 square feet per resident and multiple residents complained
to the surveyors of their rooms being cramped and cluttered.
Residents Affected - Many
The findings included:
Review of a Memo provided to the surveyors by the facility's Administrator revealed the following:
81 rooms in the facility are semi-private rooms. Of these, 58 measure 157 square feet-which equates to
less than the required 80 square feet per resident. These measurements do not include the bathroom or
closet storage space in the rooms.
During a tour of the facility conducted on 11/16/22 at 11:00 AM, it was noted by the surveyors that a
number of the facility's semi-private rooms appeared to be small. It was noted in room [ROOM NUMBER]
that a wheelchair between the beds was touching the side rails of each bed, indicating the space between
the beds was minimal.
On 11/16/22 at 11:23 AM, after obtaining consent from the Resident, the surveyors measured room [ROOM
NUMBER]. The surveyors measured the room to be 153 inches long by 144 inches deep. There were 2
bedside tables present in the room which measured 19 inches by 19 inches. Taking into account the size of
the bedside tables, the surveyors calculated 150.5 square feet for the room space.
On 11/16/22 at 11:30 AM, the surveyors measured room [ROOM NUMBER] with the AHCA Life Safety
Surveyor. The surveyors measured the room to be 12 feet by 12 feet. Taking into account the size of the
bedside tables, the surveyors calculated 141.5 square feet for the room space.
On 11/16/22 at 11:35 AM, the surveyors measured room [ROOM NUMBER] with the AHCA Life Safety
Surveyor, the facility's Maintenance Director and the facility's Administrator. The measurements taken were
155 inches by 145 inches. Taking into account the size of the bedside tables, the surveyors calculated
154.5 square feet for the room space. All parties involved agreed these measurements do not equate to the
required 80 square feet of space for each resident in a double-occupancy room.
The Life Safety Surveyor explained to the Maintenance Director and the Administrator that the rooms being
cluttered with belongings and wheelchairs is hazardous for the residents and the staff.
When asked how many rooms in the facility have the same layout as room [ROOM NUMBER], the
Maintenance Director stated all 19 rooms on the wing (152-172) have this layout, but that there may be
more in the facility. Of the 19 rooms on the wing (152-172), the surveyor noted that 2 of the rooms (164 and
166) are single occupancy rooms. The surveyors asked for a map of the facility to count how many rooms
have this layout throughout the facility.
An interview was conducted on 11/16/22 at 11:25 AM with Resident #100. Resident #100 stated he did feel
that his room was cramped and cluttered. (Photographic evidence obtained). Resident #100 stated he had
a medical history of paraplegia for which he required the use of a wheelchair. Review of a Quarterly
Minimum Data Set (MDS) completed 09/30/22 revealed Resident #100 had a Brief Interview of

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interviews, the facility failed to ensure an effective call light system for 2 South (24 rooms).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
On 11/15/22 at 11:40 AM this surveyor entered the room of Resident #244. The resident stated that she felt
wet and needed to be changed. At 11:47 AM this surveyor asked her to press her call light so staff will be
aware of her needs. At 11:54 AM no staff had come yet to answer the light. This surveyor looked out in the
hallway and the light above the door to the room was on. This surveyor then walked to the nurse's desk
where Staff H, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was present at the desk. She was asked if she realized
that a call light was on and she stated that she did not hear it ringing so the call light in that room must not
be working. She then notified the Director of Maintenance.
On 11/15/22 at 1:30 PM another surveyor went into room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]
and pressed the call lights. Observed Staff H at the desk with the call bell system behind her not looking at
the call bell system when the surveyor pressed the lights in rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] . The lights went on
the board but there was no tone and Staff H did not look up to see if a call light was lit.
The facility became aware of the lack of sound with the call lights after surveyor intervention. The
Administrator was made aware.
