temporarily leave Pine Trail. By signing below, I understand and agree that Pine Trail shall not be liable for
any injuries that occur or be subjected to any demand or any claim for injuries or damages, whatsoever that
result from any event occurring outside or off of the premises of Pine Trail.
Record review for Resident #48 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

able to walk independently.
An interview was conducted on12/19/24 at 8:45 AM with Resident #48 who stated he used to be able to go
outside in the front of the building to walk around. He was told that he can no longer go outside in the front
due to 'insurance reasons', and he could only go walking in front of the building if they had enough staff to
send a staff member with him. He then stated they never have enough staff, so he stopped asking to go out
front. Resident #48 stated again that he would like to be able to walk in the front of the building because the
courtyard feels enclosed, like a 'caged dog'.
An interview was conducted on 12/20/24 at 12:00 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) who stated she
has been at the facility for 6 months. She stated residents can leave the facility only if a family member
signs them out or the activity staff has a planned activity to go outside of the building. The DON
acknowledged that if a resident does ask to go outside of the building, and if she has a staff member
available, then the resident is allowed to go outside. The DON stated that for the safety of the resident, they
cannot sign themselves out even if they have a BIMS of 15 because the resident might want to cross the
street and the facility is responsible for them.

outside during the month of November 2024 with last day being 11/18/24. A side-by-side review was
conducted of the Leave of Absence Sign-out/sign-in Release of Responsibility statement with the DON,
who stated that the form would have to be changed because residents are not to go outside without a staff
member.
2. Record review for Resident #52 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including: Presence of Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage Device, Muscle Weakness, Abnormal
Posture, and Syncope.

Review of Section C of the MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #52 had a BIMS score of 14 indicating an
intact cognitive response. Review of Section GG of the same MDS revealed Resident #14 requires
substantial to maximal assistance for most of his ADLs and partial to moderate assistance for eating.
Review of the Care Plan dated 09/28/24 documented Resident #52 is at risk for injury related to
falls/related to: Impaired mobility, Requiring assist from at least 1-2 helper for safe transfer. The goal was for
Resident #52's risk of fall related injury will be minimized through the next review. The interventions
included: Encourage Resident #52 to call for assistance as needed; Observe for and report changes in
mobility and/or Range of Motion. Use Mechanical lift for transfers. Floor mats to both side/s of bed when in
bed.
During observation on a tour conducted on 12/16/24 at 10:10 AM of Resident #52's room, it was noted that
Staff H, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was in the room. At 10:21 AM, Staff H was observed walking
down the hallway and appeared to be looking for another staff member. At 10:31 AM, Staff H was observed
still looking for another staff member and was wheeling the Hoyer lift towards Resident #52's room. At this
time, the Director of Admissions was walking down the hallway and assisted Staff H to wheel the Hoyer lift
into Resident #52's room and closed the door. At 10:41 AM, the Director of Admissions stepped out of the
room and shortly after Staff H came out with the Hoyer lift.

(12/16/24) was left on the side table where he could not reach it. He also mentioned he used to get
someone to assist him with his meals, but lately they stated that he can feed himself and no one comes by
to help him with his meals. He stated that he likes to eat his breakfast and lunch in the dining area, but the
staff has been slow to get him out of bed and he sometimes has to eat his meals in his room.
An interview was conducted on 12/18/24 at 3:07 PM with Staff H who stated she has worked at facility for 7
years. She stated that a resident that has limited assistance means the resident requires one person to
assist with transfer, compared to a resident that is total care assist who requires 2 persons with a Hoyer lift.
Staff H stated she set up the resident with the Hoyer pad prior to wheeling the Hoyer lift to the resident's
room, and then she gets anyone of the nursing staff, or anyone that is certified to assist with Hoyer lift to
transfer the resident. She also stated that it is difficult to get someone to help because everyone is busy
trying to get their work done. She acknowledged that on 12/16/24, the admission director offered to help her
to transfer Resident #52, and she agreed since she had been looking for another CNA to assist for a while.
She stated she believes the facility is short staffed and she is often scheduled to care for 11 total care
assist residents and to also assist with meal tray distribution. She recognized she often feels rushed to
provide care to her residents.
An interview was conducted on 12/18/24 at 3:27 PM with the Director of Admissions, who stated he has
worked at the facility since August 2024. He stated he has no prior clinical title or certifications, and no
Hoyer lift training nor education on how to transfer residents. He acknowledged that he was aware that
maybe assisting Staff H with the Hoyer lift was something that he should not be doing, Staff H needed
assistance and no one else was available.
An interview was conducted on 12/20/24 at 1:33 PM with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who
stated she has been working at the facility for 9 months. Staff C mentioned she sometimes helps the CNAs
to transfer a resident from bed to chair only if the resident is able to assist, but if the

Interview was conducted with the Administrator on 12/18/24 at 12:03 PM who stated she would not report
this event because it was a fall, and because it was't an unknown fracture, as they thought they had figured
out how it happened (pathological), and she would not do an immediate or day-5 report. She stated she
reviewed the regulations and determined it was not reportable.
There was no documented evidence that the fracture was pathological or that an immediate or day-5 report
was submitted.

7. Nifedipine tablet Extended Release (ER) 24 Hour 60 mg, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for
hypertension Hold for SBP less than 110 and Heart Rate (HR) less than 60.
Reconciliation of Resident #42's physician's orders with the medications administered above revealed
Resident #42 had an order for Nifedipine tablet ER 24 Hour 90 mg, to Hold for SBP less than 110 (dated
12/14/24), instead of the Nifedipine ER 24-hour 60 mg that was administered during the medication pass
observation. Further review of the physician's orders showed Resident #42 had an order dated 11/21/24
and was discontinued on 12/13/24 for Nifedipine tablet ER 24 Hour 60 mg. As per current order of
Nifedipine, Resident #42 should have not received the medication since his SBP was 101, which is outside
of the parameters.
An interview was conducted on 12/17/24 at 12:10 PM with ADON who stated she has worked at the facility
since April 2024. The ADON was asked to review the Nifedipine punch card for Resident #42. A
side-by-side review of the punch card for Nifedipine was conducted with ADON which revealed the dose
was 60 mg instead of 90 mg. The ADON confirmed there was no other punch card for Nifedipine for
Resident #42 in the medication cart. The ADON reviewed Resident #42's Medication Administration Record
(MAR) revealing an active order for Nifedipine 90 mg to hold for SBP less than 110 (Resident #42's SBP
was 101). Further review and interview with the ADON confirmed the order for Nifedipine 60 mg for
Resident #42 was discontinued on 12/13/24. She stated she was not sure what happened and why the
discontinued medication was not removed and the new order was not received. She acknowledged that she
would monitor the resident for any side effects of receiving Nifedipine since Resident #42's SBP was
outside of the parameters.
An interview was conducted on 12/17/24 at 12:34 PM with Resident #42 who stated he is feeling okay so
far.
An interview was conducted on 12/17/24 at 3:02 PM with the Consultant Pharmacist. She stated the Nurse
Practitioner (ARNP) changed the Nifedipine order on 12/13/24 at 9:35 AM to 90 mg and sent it to the wrong
pharmacy, not to the correct [name provided] Pharmacy, so the order was placed under profile only;
therefore, the Nifedipine 90 mg punch card was not sent to the facility. She stated Resident #42's physician
has been contacted and the order has been changed back to 60 mg since his BP was 101/80 today. She
also stated Resident #42 has been monitored for any side effects. She acknowledged that she is not sure
why the nurses did not notice the change in dose and continued to document under the Nifedipine 90 mg
order in the MAR.
An interview was conducted on 12/18/24 at 10:27 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), who stated she
has been working at the facility for 6 months. She stated that the ADON and herself review any new
medication orders as well as discontinued orders throughout the day. She would remove any discontinued
medications from the medication carts, or the floor nurse is made aware, and they would remove the
medication punch card and store it in the medication room to be send to the pharmacy. The DON
acknowledged the nurses continued to document in Resident #42's MAR as administering the Nifedipine 90
mg, but not noticing that the Nifedipine punch card was for 60 mg and this caused the medication error.

An interview was conducted on 12/16/24 at 11:30 AM with the Certified Dietary Manager who was asked
why they are not following the Pine Trail Menu F/W 24/25 Week at a Glance for Regular/Regular Week 1.
She stated, because they have no working oven, so the company that makes up their menus supplied them
with a 7 Day Hot Weather/Cold Food Menu Week 1 that they have been using since before Thanksgiving
(11/28/24), but she would substitute the cold vegetable with a hot vegetable so that the residents will get at
least one thing hot with each meal. When asked to clarify if it is the same weekly menu each week since
before Thanksgiving, she said yes. When asked why they did not serve the egg salad sandwich today, she
stated they did not have enough leftover eggs from the previous day's breakfast to make the egg salad, so
she substituted the protein with the sliced turkey. When asked how many ounces of sliced turkey is provided
for each resident, she said it was 2-ounces. When asked for a scale to measure the sliced turkey on a plate,
she stated they do not have a scale, and they just estimate the portion of the turkey.
An interview was conducted on 12/18/24 at 11:38 AM with the Certified Dietary Manager who was asked
why they were not following the '7 Day Hot Weather/Cold Food Menu Week 1' today for Wednesday (Day 4).
She stated, because they had to throw refrigerated and frozen food away yesterday due to the refrigerator
and freezer not working properly, she improvised with making a pasta and meat and tomato sauce (hot).
When asked what menu she followed, she said she did not follow a menu but was sure she could locate
one to provide to surveyor. When asked what meat was used in the meat and tomato sauce, she stated it
was sausage. When asked what the residents were served for breakfast, she stated sausage, then added
we had to use it up before it went bad.

operating conditions for 2 of 2 ovens, 1 of 1 freezer and 1 of 1 walk-in refrigerator.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:

since the initial tour of the kitchen with surveyor on 12/16/24. The administrator stated she had only
discovered today that the walk-in freezer and walk-in refrigerator was not keeping food at appropriate
temperatures and had contacted a vendor to come on 12/17/24 to repair the freezer, but they were unable
to repair walk-in refrigerator.
An interview was conducted on 12/20/24 at 1:50 PM with the CDM who was asked if they have a scale or
weighing foods. She said, 'no they still do not have a scale in the kitchen to weigh food.' When asked how
long they have not had the scale, she said she noticed that when she arrived in May 2024. When asked if
she had communicated a need for and lack of a scale to anyone, she said to her boss Staff N, owner.
An interview was conducted on 12/19/24 at 11:00 AM with the Administrator, who said she was unaware of
kitchen not having a scale or of any issue with the refrigerator or freezer until this survey. The Administrator

(CEO) about the oven but was never provided any documentation from the vendor of invoices that the oven
was ordered or the expected delivery.

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
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 review of exterminator service inspection reports, the facility failed to maintain
an effective pest control program, as evidenced by observed insects in all stages of life in 1 of 4 hallways
([NAME]), documentation of inconsistent extermination during the past five months, and voiced resident
confirmation during interviews.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
During a resident observation on 12/16/24 at 10:36 AM, roach activity was seen in Resident #7's room.
Multiple dead roaches and a roach egg were noted behind the resident's bed. Upon further observation, 2
live roaches were seen crawling underneath the resident's bed and wheelchair. Photographic Evidence
Obtained.
During an interview on 12/16/24 at 11:07 AM, when asked if she had seen any insects in her room,
Resident #22 voiced she had seen roaches in her room. She stated, I don't like them.
During an interview on 12/16/24 at 11:14 AM, when asked if they had ever seen any bugs in their room,
Resident #49 stated he had seen roaches on his side of the room but not as many as his roommate who
was by the window.
During an interview on 12/16/24 at 11:29AM, Resident #44, who is Resident #49's roommate, stated he
has seen roaches everywhere, especially by his window. He voiced that he tried to kill them himself
because there were so many. When asked if staff are aware of this issue, he stated that they were aware
and they told the resident the pest control company was taking care of the matter but stated he still saw
them afterwards. Resident #44 voiced, My family doesn't want to come and visit me because they are afraid
to take the roaches home with them.
During an interview on 12/16/24 at 02:19 PM, Resident's #43's representative stated she had seen roaches
when providing care to the resident.
During a follow-up observation on 12/17/24 at 9:10 AM, Resident #7's room still had dead roaches and a
roach egg on the floor located behind the resident's bed.
During a medication administration observation on 12/19/24 at 8:58 AM, a live roach was observed
crawling out from underneath a resident's bed.
During an interview on 12/19/24 at 1:09 PM, when asked if the facility had a pest control issue, the Nursing
Home Administrator (NHA) stated that there was nothing she was aware of. The NHA was informed of the
live crawling insects observed and the voiced confirmations made by multiple resident's and family
members. The NHA was asked to locate and provide evidence of pest service for the past couple of
months. Review of the service inspection reports by the exterminator revealed the following:
On 08/01/24 and 09/01/24, a monthly service was provided by [Company Name} Exterminations where the
exterminator was targeting rodents, flies and fire ants.
In October of 2024, no exterminator service was provided to the facility

On 11/25/24, a biweekly service by [another Company Name] Solutions documented, While doing the initial
inspection I was able to walk through and treat the entire facility. Critical areas such as the kitchen was
baited and treated in the cracks and crevices. The soiled rooms, common areas, break rooms, and dining
rooms. I only treated near the window and bathrooms in the patient's rooms. No obvious signs of insect
activity was found today.
Residents Affected - Some
On 12/02/24, a biweekly service by [Company Name] Solutions documented, The entire exterior of the
building was treated for ants and other general household pests. There was lots of ant mounds all over the
lawn and exterior of the building. I will continue to follow up on the treatment. Next treatment will be interior.
When asked why the service changed from [Name provided] Exterminations to [Name provided] Solutions,
the NHA stated that the company was too expensive and they needed a cheaper rate. The month of
October with no pest control service to the facility was used to find the cheaper pest control company.
When asked to provide evidence of the most recent service for the week of 12/16/24, the NHA stated the
exterminator had an emergency and was not able to come out to the facility and is scheduled to service
them next week. When asked if she thought the cheaper pest control company was effective she stated,
No, not if there are still roaches in the facility.
