(CNA), noticed the lunch tray in the resident's room, found the resident in the main dining room, and
brought the tray to Resident #16, who started eating.
On 11/07/22 at 12:44 PM, Resident #16 was no longer in the dining room and the lunch tray had been
removed. When asked how much lunch Resident #16 consumed, the Registered Dietician stated she ate
about 40% of the lunch. Documentation provided during the survey, and reviewed after the survey, revealed
Staff K documented Resident #16 at 75% of the lunch meal on 11/07/22.
An observation on 11/08/22 at 12:35 PM revealed the lunch tray for Resident #16 was taken to her room.
Resident #16 self-propelled to the main dining room and staff brought her the lunch tray. Staff D, CNA,
uncovered the lunch plate and questioned, Are you gonna eat your sandwich? Resident #16 pointed to the
soup, and the CNA asked the resident if she wanted her to uncover it. Resident #16 reached over to the
soup, started to uncover it, then covered it back up. Staff did not assist nor stay at the table.
At 12:40 PM, the resident picked up the covered ice cream and returned it to the tray, then looked at the
soup again, picking up the covered dish. Resident #16 then took her sandwich, dipped it into her coffee,
and took one bite, putting the sandwich back on the plate. At 12:42 PM, Resident #16 tried to get the
attention of dietary staff, who looked her way and kept going, leaving the dining room. Resident #16 put her
mask back up over her mouth, which had remained hooked to her ears and just barely below her mouth the
entire meal, and just sat back and looked at her tray.
At 12:44 PM Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN)/the MDS Coordinator, walked over to the resident and stated,
You're not eating; what is going on. Do you want something different. A dietary aide went back to the table
and stated she just wanted the ice cream today. Staff D opened the magic cup ice cream, encouraged her
to eat it, which the resident did independently. The RN left and the resident continued eating.
At 12:50 PM, Staff D returned and asked the resident if she was good. Resident #16 stated, I'm not eating
much of this. Observation revealed the soup and cookie remain covered. Resident #16 continued eating,
her mask barely below her mouth the entire meal. Staff, including the MDS Coordinator, dietary staff, and
the RD, did not assist or encourage her to remove the mask.
On 11/14/22 at 12:11 PM, Staff E, CNA, set up the lunch tray for Resident #16, who was sitting in her
recliner in her room. The CNA unwrapped the main plate and uncovered the soup. The CNA put a spoon
into the soup and left the room. The surveyor remained in the hallway within view of the resident's room.
Observations of Resident #16 in her room at 12:14 PM, 12:20 PM, and at 12:43 PM revealed the resident
had pushed the over-the-bed table away from herself, and she was sitting back in the recliner chair with her
eyes closed.
At 12:55 PM, Staff H, Occupational Therapist (OT), went into the resident's room, and took Resident #16
across the hall to therapy. When asked if the resident said anything about lunch, the OT stated, No she
didn't say anything about lunch. When asked if she asked Resident #16 if she was finished with lunch, the
OT stated she did ask, and the resident stated she was done. The resident's lunch tray remained in her
room, untouched. Photographic Evidence Obtained.
On 11/14/22 at 1:00 PM, Staff E noticed the resident's room light was off. The CNA went into room,

turning on the light, and stated, Are you OK looking for the resident. The CNA left the room not finding the
resident, turned off the light, and went back to gathering finished lunch trays from other residents.
At 1:28 PM, Staff G, CNA, took the uneaten lunch tray from the room, put it in the dining cart, and removed
the cart from the unit. Review of the meal intake for 11/14/22 lacked any documented amount of
consumption.
On 11/15/22 at 8:16 AM, Resident #16 was observed sitting up in her recliner chair with the breakfast tray
on her lap. The resident's eyes were closed, and she had not eaten anything. As per the meal schedule and
the RD, breakfast trays were usually delivered at 7:10 AM. At 8:23 AM, the resident's tray had been taken
from her room and identified on the dirty food cart. Resident #16 ate less than a half of a slice of toast.
Photographic Evidence Obtained.
Review of documented weights for Resident #16 revealed a weight of 142.8 pounds on 03/02/22, and a
weight of 120.8 pounds on 04/01/22, indicating a loss of 15.41% during that 30-day period. At that time, the
magic cup nutritional supplement was added and more frequent weights for one month were obtained by
staff. The documented weight for Resident #16 on 11/03/22 was 123.6 pounds. On 11/15/22 at 8:53 AM,
the surveyor requested staff to obtain a current weight for Resident #16. The weight obtained at this time
was 117.0 pounds, indicating a weight loss of 5.34% in twelve days.
The most current nutritional assessment and or nutritional note for Resident #16 was dated 10/21/22. This
note documented a 1.18% weight gain in 30 days, a 2.40% gain in 90 days, and a 6.13% gain in 6 months,
with a weight of 128.2 pounds as of 10/01/22.
During an interview on 11/15/22 at 10:35 AM, the RD explained Resident #16 has Dementia, goes back
and forth from her room to the dining room, has multiple supplements in place, and likes to sit in the
common area in the evening and have snacks. When asked the process for obtaining weights related to the
frequency, the RD explained a new resident was weighed at least weekly the first month, and that all
residents were weighed at minimum monthly. The RD explained she uses the weights, the intake records,
her observations, and any voiced concerns as a guide if weights are needed more often than monthly.
When asked what interventions besides the nutritional supplements have been tried for Resident #16, the
RD stated she has asked the resident her preferences.
The RD further explained if the resident is not eating well, her staff will ask the resident if she wants
something different. The RD stated the staff always check on her and she can have whatever she wants.
When asked if they have tried sitting with the resident and encouraging her, the RD stated she believes
they have tried that in the past but didn't think it worked. The RD confirmed there was no current restorative
program at the facility, which would be used to encourage meal consumption for those that needed extra
guidance.
During an interview on 11/15/22 at 1:39 PM, Staff H, OT, explained Resident #16 was being seen for a
decline in dressing, toileting, and bathing. The OT stated the resident was not currently being seen related
to a decline in eating. The OT stated in the past they determined the resident could feed herself but had
more of a motivation and cognition problem. When asked about encouraging the resident to eat, the OT
stated sometimes the encouragement helped. When asked if she had been told Resident #16 wasn't eating
recently, the OT stated she had not been told.
During an interview on 11/15/22 at 1:44 PM, the Speech Therapist (ST) confirmed Resident #16 was

locked cart near the room in the Magnolia Hall. Staff F finished care at about 11:05 AM, cleaned up the
area, disposed of the trash, hand sanitized and returned to her cart to document the care. Staff F then went
to the treatment cart, which was now located at the entrance of the Gardenia Hall (the other unit), and
noticed it was unlocked and unattended. Staff F stated she had locked the cart and left it outside of
Resident #5's room, and that someone must have moved it.

the Gardenia Hall, unlocked and unattended.
