Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #72) of three
residents reviewed for activities of daily living (ADL), from a total sample of 32 residents, received adequate
and appropriate nail care to maintain personal hygiene.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 12/18/23 at 11:45 AM, Resident #72 was observed resting in her room. The resident's fingernails
extended approximately three quarters of an inch from the edge of the nail bed. The nails were yellow with
dirt accumulated at the bottom edge of the nail bed. The resident explained that she did not like her nails so
long and repeatedly asked members of facility staff to trim them. The resident could not recall a specific
name of facility staff who she asked to trim her nails and said she asked several certified nursing assistants
(CNAs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 12/21/23 at 10:00 AM, a second observation was made of the resident resting in bed with eyes her
closed. The resident's fingernails extended approximately three quarters of an inch from the edge of the
nail bed. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 12/21/23 at 10:30 AM, a third observation was made of the resident resting in bed with eyes her closed.
The resident's fingernails extended approximately three quarters of an inch from the edge of the nail bed.
(Photographic evidence obtained)
A review of Resident #72's record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance,
mood disturbance, and anxiety, history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction, bipolar disorder,
type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension and atrial fibrillation.
The quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dated 09/23/23, documented the resident's brief
interview for mental status (BIMS) score was 13 out of 15 possible points, indicating the resident's cognition
was intact. The MDS further documented the resident had no potential indicators of psychosis; no
indications of physical and/or verbal behavioral symptoms directed towards others; exhibited no rejection of
care and no wandering behaviors. The resident's bed mobility was extensive assistance with a two person
assist required. Transfer, walk in room, walk in corridor, locomotion on and off unit did not occur during the
assessment. The resident's dressing required extensive assistance with a two person assist. Eating
required supervision with set up only. Toilet use required extensive assistance with a one person assist.
Personal hygiene required extensive assistance with a one person assist. The resident's quarterly MDS
dated [DATE], revealed the same data as the MDS dated [DATE].

Resident #72's care plan dated 09/23/23, documented a focus area noting the resident required assistance
with ADL functions related to weakness and debility. The care plan focus was initiated on 08/25/22 and
revised on 03/23/23. The care plan goal projected the resident will have bathing, dressing and grooming
needs met as evidenced by lack of unpleasant body odors, neat and clean appearance on a daily ongoing
basis. The care goal was initiated 08/25/22 and revised 05/13/23. Interventions to the care plan
documented assistive devices as ordered and/or indicated. Enablers as ordered to promote functional bed
mobility. Encourage and assist with all activities of daily living (ADL) tasks as indicated, as tolerated by
resident, including locomotion, bathing, bed mobility, transfers, toileting tasks, meals, personal/oral hygiene,
etc.
On 12/21/23 at 10:30 AM, an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A. She
reported she had worked at the facility for a little over 22 years. She explained that she was familiar with the
resident and the resident's needs. She said she had not been asked by the resident to have her fingernails
trimmed. She expressed that the process while providing activities of living care was to observe residents'
fingernails. If the fingernails appearred long, the expectation was to trim the resident's fingernails at
bedside. She described the definition of excessively long nails, which have the potential of scratching a
resident's skin, as a minimum of a quarter inch beyond the edge of the nail bed. The CNA pulled back the
resident's blanket and observed the resident's fingernails.
On 12/21/23 at 11:45 AM, an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B. She
reported she had worked as an Agency employee at the facility for approximately one month. She explained
the process for a resident needing a fingernail trim started with the CNA while the care was provided. If she
administered medication to a resident and noticed a resident's fingernails exceeded a half an inch beyond
the nail bed, she should report it to the CNA who was responsible for trimming the resident's fingernails.
She only gave the CNAs verbal notice and did not document a resident's excessive fingernail length in the
facility's electronic medical records.
On 12/21/23 at 12:40 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). She
reported she had worked at the facility for approximately three years. She explained that every resident was
different, and some residents did not like their fingernails trimmed. She further explained that fingernail
trimming should be included with activities of daily living (ADL) care. She informed CNAs that they should
only file fingernails and not clip them. Clipping fingernails was the responsibility of the nurses. Fingernail
filing and trimming or requests for filing or trimming were not documented in the facility's electronic medical
records. If a resident requested to have their nails trimmed, the expectation was to have the resident's nails
filed or clipped within the same day. She explained that if a nurse noticed nails were long during medication
administration, they would initiate the trim right there and then.
A review of the facility's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) policy documented. 2. Appropriate care and services
will be provided for residents who are unable to carry out ADLs independently, with the consent of the
resident and in accordance with the plan of care, including appropriate support and assistance with: a.
Hygiene (bathing, dressing, grooming, nail care and oral care.

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, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident#33) of four
residents receiving enteral feedings received adequate nutrition as prescribed. There were 32 residents in
the total sample. Failure to provide enteral nutrition as prescribed could result in caloric deficit and eventual
malnutrition.
The findings include:
During a tour on 12/19/23 at 10:12 am, Resident #33 was observed lying in bed. He was receiving tube
feeding Jevity 1.5 cal at 60 milliliters per hour ml/hr. (Photographic evidence obtained)
Another observation was made on 12/19/23 3:27 pm. Resident #33 was observed receiving Jevity 1.5 cal at
60 ml/hr.
On 12/20/23 at 9:08 am, Resident #33 was observed in bed lying supine with the head of the bed elevated
at 30 degrees. Jevity 1.5 was running at 60 ml/hr. (Photographic evidence obtained)
In an interview on 12/20/23 at 9:28 am, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C stated she was assigned to
Resident #33. When asked about the resident's tube feeding times, she reviewed the physician's orders and
stated the order read Jevity 1.5 cal at 70 ml per hour on at 2:00 pm and off at 10:00 am. She confirmed that
the order was changed from 60 ml to 70 ml on 12/11/23. She was accompanied to the resident's room and
confirmed that the resident was receiving the feeding at 60 ml/hr. She added that she would adjust the rate
to 70 ml/hr.
A review of the medical record indicated that Resident #33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including sequelae of cerebral infarction, gastrostomy status, dysphagia, severe protein calorie
malnutrition, pneumonitis due to inhalation of food and vomit. Physician orders dated 12/11/23, revealed
Jevity 1.5 cal at 70 ml/hr x 20 hours (1400 - 1000 o'clock). Additional orders dated 9/6/23, indicated to
provide hydration 125 ml of free water flush every 4 hours for hydration. Encourage resident to remain NPO
(nothing by mouth). Check residual every shift. If 60 ml hold feeding for one hour. If residual remains greater
than 60 ml, continue to hold and notify the physician. Change tube feeding set/bag every night shift.
A review of the care plan dated 9/5/23, indicated that the resident required tube feeding related to
dysphagia, a history of aspiration, cardiovascular accident, severe calorie malnutrition, and low BMI (body
mass index)/low weight. Interventions included to follow physician's orders regarding nutrition orders and
flushes. Check tube placement and gastric content/residual volume per facility protocol and record. Turn off
G-tube (feeding tube) while providing care and when head of bed is down. Encourage resident to keep
head of bed elevated.
A review of the 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of
10/05/23, revealed that the resident had severe cognitive impairment with a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of 3 out of 15 possible points, indicating severe cognitive impairment. He was
dependent on staff for toileting, bed mobility and hygiene care. The resident was dependent on a feeding
tube for nutritional support.

A review of the Nutrition Note dated 12/11/23, indicated that the resident was reviewed for a quarterly
assessment. He was tolerating tube feedings well and his weight was trending down some. Recommended
increasing the tube feeding regimen to help combat further weight loss. Continue NPO. Increase tube
feeding to Jevity 1.5 70 ml/hr x 20 hrs 2 pm - 10 am, 200 ml free water flush QID (four times daily) to
provide 1400 ml formula, 2100 kcal, 89 grams of protein and 1864 ml free water meeting 100% kcal, 95 %
protein and 99% free water needs. The tube feeding regime meets 90-110% estimated nutritional needs.
A review of the Nursing Progress Notes for 12/12/23-12/19/23 revealed that the resident was receiving
Jevity 1.5 at 60 ml/hr. (Copies obtained)
A review of the resident's recorded weights revealed that the resident weighed 126.2 pounds on 9/5/23 and
117.0 on 12/6/23.
In an interview on 12/20/23 at 9:45 am, LPN D stated she was covering for the unit manager. When asked
about Resident #33's enteral feeding orders, she stated when the dietician made any changes, he updated

food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on kitchen food service observations, staff interviews, facility document review and facility policy and
procedure review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the
outbreak of foodborne illness. The facility failed to ensure that the dietary staff practiced the proper
procedures for hand hygiene, disposable glove use, food storage and proper sanitation practices in the
kitchen. Hand hygiene, food handling and sanitation is important in health care settings serving nursing
home residents due to the risk of serious complications from foodborne illness as a result of their
compromised health status. Unsafe food handling practices represent a potential source of pathogen
exposure. This had the potential to impact any resident receiving food from the facility.
The findings include:
During the first tour of the facility kitchen on 12/18/2023 at 10:12 AM one of the reach-in freezers located in
a back hallway of the kitchen, had large blocks of frozen ice built up on the inside of the unit covering
packages of food products. The walk-in cooler had black biological growth and food debris on the shelving
where food was stored. Cheese wrapped in plastic food storage wrap had black magic marker dates written
on the plastic that was not legible. Sandwiches were stored in a plastic bag with no date mark. The floor of
the cooler had dirt, food particle debris and food wrappers. The walk-in freezer had food stored on the floor.
The floor had dark black dirt, food debris, paper and cardboard food containers particles on the floor. The
gaskets on the reach -in coolers and freezers had a black build up of biological substance in the creases.
The ceiling and walls in the dry storage room had a buildup of dust debris. Previously unsealed packages of
sugar product were stored in plastic resealable bags that were left open with no date mark. There was a
buildup of dust covering the drink machine filter. The dispensers were sitting in a red liquid in a plastic
container on the counter top. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) pulled them up out of the liquid and
stated they need to be allowed to drip. The sanitizer buckets tested at 500+ parts per million (ppm)
quaternary ammonium. The CDM stated that it was a toxic level and instructed the staff to change the water
out. The kitchen walls and floors had a buildup of dark brown grease, dust and food debris. There was a
buildup of grease and debris under the fryer and the stove. The walls of the dish room were covered with a
buildup of black food debris and water that had run down the wall and dried. There was a plastic bowl with
no handle down in the bulk flour bin. The can opener had a buildup food debris. There were missing tiles
from the floor of the dish room and the kitchen wall (Photographic evidence obtained).

Employee F did not know the wash cycle temperature was only 110'F. She stated that it was 130'F when
she started washing dishes this morning. She stated that it was supposed to be 120'F or higher.
Review of the dish machine temperature log revealed the wash cycle had been recorded to be 130'F and
the wash cycle was recorded to be 130'F.
During a tour of the kitchen on 12/19/2023 at 9:15 AM the dish machine was being operated by Employee
G. The wash cycle temperature was 118'F and the rinse cycle temperature was 120'F on the first load
observed. The wash cycle temperature was 110'F and the rinse cycle temperature was 128'F on the
second load. The chlorine bleach sanitizer was tested and the result was 100 ppm.
Review of the manufacturer's specifications revealed the wash cycle temperature is to be 120'F at a
minimum. The chlorine bleach sanitizer should be 50 ppm at a minimum. Detergent Control. Water
temperature is an important factor in ensuring the machine functions properly, and the machine's data plate
details what the minimum temperatures must be for the incoming water supply, the wash tank, and the rinse
tank. If minimum requirements are not met, ware might not be clean or sanitized. Preventative
Maintenance: 1. Ensure that the water temperatures match those listed on the machine data plate. Water
temperature could be too low for a variety of reasons (Copy obtained).
During an interview on 12/20/2023 08:38 AM with the Administrator. He stated that he was made aware of
the dish machine not working properly. He was informed of the failure of the machine to reach 120'F during
the wash cycle. He stated he did not know that the wash cycle was not reaching the minimum temperature.
He stated that the facility does not have control of the settings on the dish machine. He stated that he would
make sure the contracted provider of maintenance would be called to come and fix the machine. During the
lunch meal service at 11:55 AM the contracted provider of maintenance for the dish machine was observed

During a tour of the kitchen on 12/21/2023 at 9:05 AM Employee G was observed loading the dish
machine. The dish machine wash cycle at 110'F, the rinse cycle was 112'F. The CDM opened the machine
and looked inside. She stated that there was no water in the machine. She looked down in the well and
pulled out a plastic sippy cup lid and put in in the dish rack to be re-washed. She stated that the lid had
been blocking the water flow inside the machine. She shut the doors and let the machine run again. She
ran the machine through 4 cycles. Each time the wash temperature only reached 110'F and the rinse cycle
only reached 112'F. She confirmed the temperatures. She stated that the contracted maintenance provider
was called to fix the machine yesterday, 12/20/2023 and they came and conducted

maintenance on the machine. She observed the machine while they were at the facility and again after they
left and the wash cycle and rinse cycle were above 120'F. She stated she does not know why the
temperatures are so low again today.
During an interview with the Maintenance Director on 11/21/2023 at 9:20 AM. He stated he raised the
temperature on the water heater for the kitchen yesterday, 12/20/2023, by 5'F making the water
temperature 150'F. He checked the machine again after that and the wash and rinse cycles were both
above 120'F. He stated he does not understand why the temperature is so low. He suggested using a
thermometer to test the temperature of the water in the machine.
The CDM went and retrieved a digital thermometer and tested the water twice. The first reading was 105'F
and the second one was 108'F (Photographic evidence obtained). The Maintenance Director gave the
Administrator an infrared thermometer to test the water. He tested the water in the machine and the reading
was 105'F.
Review of the facility water temperature log dated 12/20//2023 revealed a handwritten note at the bottom
that read: Turned hot water heater up 5 degrees on 12/20/2023 (kitchen).
Review of the contracted provider for dish machine maintenance receipt for service dated 12/21/2023
revealed it read: Issue (s) Called in for Dishmachine sanitizer to high, testing at 1:00 PM. Work Performed:
Rep adjusted dish machine sanitizer to 75 ppm (range is 50pm-100pm) Sanitizer is with in range. Checked
Dishmachine temperature, wash and rinse are both at 120 (minimum temp is 120) temperatures with in
range. Recommendations/Comments: 1. Test both sanitizers daily. 2. To insure proper washing and rinsing
temperatures are with in range please run the water until the Dishmachine water reaches 120.
Reference:
The requirement for the presence of a temperature measuring device in each tank of the warewashing
machine is based on the importance of temperature in the sanitization step. When chemical sanitizers are
used, specific minimum temperatures must be met because the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers is
directly affected by the temperature of the solution.
