**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the physician signed the State of Florida Do Not
Resuscitate (DNR) order in a timely fashion for 3 residents (#39, #72, and #78) of 3 reviewed who chose a
DNR status. Failure to have the physician sign the Florida DNR order. leaves the resident at risk of
receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) against their wishes during transfer by Emergency Medical
Services (EMS).
The findings included:
A Florida DNR form is considered an advance directive. It's a specific type of advanced directive that
instructs healthcare providers not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the patient's heart or
breathing stops. In Florida, a DNR order is a legal document, specifically DH Form 1896, directs medical
professionals not to perform CPR on a person in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest. The form must
be on yellow paper and signed by both the resident (or their authorized representative) and the resident's
physician.
Review of the Standard and Procedure for CPR Code Status Orders and Response updated February
2023, page 1 of 5: Code status physician's orders (DNR or Full Code), state specific forms and/or resident
preference documentation will be filed as the first item within the medical record.
Review of the Standard for Physician Orders, effective [DATE], page 1 of 3: .Physician orders will be dated
and signed at next physician visit . Page 2: 7. Obtain physician's countersignature within the required time
frame as defined by State Law. In the absence of State law, the countersignature will be obtained on the
next visit. 8. Receive and utilize a physician's faxed orders. Photocopy the facsimile to maintain the integrity
of the order in the medical record if necessary if subject to fading . Page 3 of 3: Physician signature will be
required on next visit. Place signed orders in the medical record.

current Advance Medical Directive from the resident or their representative and place in the medical record.
Resident #78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included diabetes, cerebrovascular disease,
paralysis on one side, and depression.
On [DATE], a DNR order was initiated by the physician and placed in the medical (paper) chart. On [DATE]
review of the paper and electronic charts revealed there was no corresponding Florida State specific yellow
DNR order signed by the physician. The yellow DNR form is necessary for transport out of the facility and
prevents CPR in a medical emergency.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to update/revise the comprehensive care plan
related to pressure injuries for 1 Resident (#68) of 3 residents reviewed with pressure injuries.
The findings included:
Resident #68 was admitted on [DATE] with end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, weakness, cognitive
communication deficit, heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, feeding tube, colostomy tube,
and indwelling urinary catheter. He was admitted to the facility with multiple pressure wounds. He had a
Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3 which indicateshe is cognitively impaired.
Record review of the admission assessment did not reflect identification of a Stage 2 flank wound or a
Stage 3 coccyx wound.
Record review of the weekly skin assessments showed the following newly identified wounds. on 4/8/25, a
Stage 2 pressure injury right rear flank, inferior and on 4/8/25, a Stage 3 pressure injury on the coccyx.
On 4/21/25, the care plan did not reflect goals or interventions for a Stage 2 pressure injury to the flank, or
a Stage 3 pressure injury to the coccyx.
Record review of the dialysis communication binder showed no documentation of communication the
resident had newly diagnosed pressure injuries or that he required offloading or repositioning.
On 4/21/25 at 12:25 p.m., Resident #68 was observed lying in bed with a home health aide sitting next to
him. He was laying on an air mattress with multiple dressings seen on his legs.
On 4/22/25 at 4:15 p.m., Resident #68 was observed being wheeled to his room after returning to the
facility from dialysis. He was sitting low in his wheelchair, with his feet hanging off the footrest. He was not
able to reposition himself and said he was in pain. Three staff members from physical therapy, including
Staff U, Director of Therapy, arrived to assist the resident using the mechanical lift to get him back to bed.
When resident #68 was lifted out of his wheelchair, it was observed that he did not have any type of
offloading devices for his flank, and he had been sitting on a thick blanked that covered the offloading
cushion. *
On 4/23/25 at 9:23 a.m., Staff W, Physical Therapy (PT) said that the provided wheelchair did not provide
any offloading support for the right flank wound, and the offloading cushion is intended to prevent pressure
injuries to the coccyx.
On 4/23/25 at 9:45 a.m., Staff U, Therapy Director, said strict repositioning procedures should be followed
by the healthcare provider while using the offloading cushion.
On 4/23/25 at 10:30 a.m., during an interview, Staff X, Occupational Therapy (OT) and Staff Y, OT said that
an offloading cushion is sufficient, and repositioning is not required.

On 4/23/25 at 10:35 a.m., during an interview, Staff Z, CNA said that you do not need to reposition
someone who is sitting on an offloading cushion because it is doing its job.
On 4/23/25 at 10:40 a.m., during an interview, Staff AA, CNA, said a resident on an offloading cushion
does not need to be repositioned.
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/23/25 at 11:52 a.m., during an interview, the Risk Manager stated everyone just knows that the
resident needs to be turned and repositioned, we don't have a scheduled turning program.
On 4/23/25 at 12:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said that if a resident has a worsening wound, she
would expect to be notified so that she can assist with managing the wound and ensure the orders and
interventions are correct. She also stated that, we don't have a turn and reposition program or policy, it
depends on the needs of the resident's needs.
On 4/23/25 at 4:30 p.m., during a wound care observation, the right flank wound on Resident #68 had black
tissue that was not noted in the documentation, and a dressing that was dated 4/22/25. Staff Q, RN
Supervisor stated, I would say that due to the slough, this wound is unstageable, I have not seen this
wound for at least a week, I would say that it is stable.
On 4/23/25 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's physician said that he does not recall seeing the wound on Resident
#68 and does not know if there is black tissue in the wound bed because he has staff to address the
wounds. He also said that the facility still needs to turn and reposition the resident regardless of whether he
is high risk for developing additional wounds.
Record reviews show that a significant change in condition was not documented for the unstageable wound
that was assessed with three RN managers present, Staff Q, RN, Staff M, RN and Staff I, RN.
On 4/24/25 at 9:15 a.m., the DON said that the nursing staff had not reported any black tissue on Resident
#68.
On 4/24/25 at 9:20 a.m., an observation of Resident #68 was made, he was sitting in a wheelchair in his
room, with no offloading to right flank.
On 4/24/25 at 9:30 a.m., during a phone interview, the Physician's Assistant said that he relies on the
facility's wound team to accurately describe the wound and that he had not seen it. He was not aware that
there was black tissue on the wound. He also said that he would want to be informed if the wound tissue
was black so he could ensure the resident receives the proper care.

Resident #68 was admitted on [DATE] with end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, weakness, cognitive
communication deficit, heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, feeding tube, colostomy tube,
and indwelling urinary catheter. He was admitted to the facility with multiple pressure wounds. He was also
cognitively impaired based on a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3. He attends dialysis at
an outside facility.
Record review showed an admission skin assessment, completed by Staff M, Registered Nurse (RN) Unit
Manager, did not document the presence of a wound on the coccyx or on the right flank.
Record review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] did not assess a Stage 3 pressure
injury or an unstageable pressure injury upon admission. There was no slough (yellow, stringy) or eschar
(black, hard) tissue assessed.
Record review of the weekly skin assessments showed the following newly identified wounds that were not
found in the admission assessment. On 4/8/25, a Stage 2 wound right rear flank, inferior, and on 4/8/25, a
Stage 3 wound on the coccyx.
As of 4/21/25 the resident's care plan had not been updated to include these findings.

She is a designated wound-round nurse and performs weekly skin checks. She said that wound evaluations
and measurements are performed on the facility provided tablet which has an app (application). She said
there are a number of variables as to why part of an assessment recorded on the app might be inaccurate
including the technique of the user.
On 4/22/25 at 10:27 a.m., during an interview, Staff I, RN, Unit Manager, said he is a designated
wound-round nurse. He stated, the facility uses the tablet, we take the picture, it measures the wound, and
we describe and stage it, then it is uploaded to the electronic health record. He also said that the wound
measurements and uploaded graphic can be inaccurate due to a number or reasons, including the
technique of the person operating the tablet.
On 4/22/25 at 4:12 p.m., during an observation of Resident #68 arriving back to the facility from dialysis,
there is no offloading device for right flank present and the offloading device for the coccyx was obstructed
by a thick blanket.

schizoaffective disorder. A PASRR Level II determination completed on 6/6/2024 indicated that specialized
services were not needed. On 1/29/2025, a psychiatric evaluation documented the resident's
schizoaffective disorder was considered resolved. A Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) was initiated, reducing
Ziprasidone from 60 mg to 40 mg daily (nn antipsychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia). A
Significant Change in Status Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] coded 0 - No for serious
mental illness, despite the resident continuing to receive antipsychotic medication and exhibiting cognitive
impairment.
Review of nursing progress notes dated between 3/11/2025 and 4/7/2025 revealed progressive behavioral
changes, including increased agitation, verbal outbursts, territorial guarding of her room, and physical
aggression. On 4/8/2025, Resident #43 struck her roommate in the face after the roommate mistakenly sat
in her wheelchair, resulting in bruising and scratches to the roommate's face and neck.
Review of a psychiatric evaluation performed on 4/8/2025 confirmed the return of psychotic symptoms,
including hallucinations and confusion. Resident #43 was re-diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.
Following the incident, psychiatric interventions were initiated: Ziprasidone was increased back to 60 mg
daily, Give 1 capsule by mouth one time a day for Schizoaffective disorder/failed GDR. Clonazepam was
prescribed for agitation, and laboratory tests were ordered for medication monitoring. The facility updated
the resident's diagnosis list on 4/22/2025 to include schizophrenia (F20.9).
On 4/21/25 at 9:30 a.m.: Resident #43 was observed in the hallway seated in a wheelchair. The resident
was non-verbal, communicating only through low grunting sounds. When other residents or staff walked by,
Resident #43 demonstrated increased tension in her posture and visually tracked their movements with
narrowed, guarded expressions.
On 4/22/25 at 9:56 a.m., when approaching the resident's room, a staff member cautioned, be careful, she
doesn't like anybody in her room. The resident was observed eating breakfast but remained highly vigilant
toward the hallway, pausing between bites to look sharply at any movement near her door.
On 4/23/25 at 12:28 p.m., Resident #54 was observed stationed directly in front of her door in her
wheelchair. As staff and residents approached, the resident exhibited visible agitation: defensively raising
her arms, emitting low guttural vocalizations, and posturing her wheelchair aggressively to block the

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that 1 (Resident #54) of 1 residents
reviewed for activities received services designed to meet their interests, physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Resident #54 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including dementia and cognitive impairment.
Review of the resident's care plan, initiated 2/25 and last revised 4/25, identified goals for Resident #54 to
participate in activities of choice daily, with interventions including encouraging engagement with a general
activities program and providing in-room activities if preferred.
Observations across multiple days (4/21/25 at 8:15 a.m., 4/21/25 at 11:14 a.m., 4/21/25 at 3:00 p.m.,
4/22/25 at 9:25 a.m., 4/22/25 at 10:39 a.m., 4/22/25 at 12:32 p.m., and 4/23/25 at 9:53 a.m.) demonstrated
a lack of activities. Throughout these observations, no activity materials, music, television, or staff-led
activities were present or offered to the resident. The only item observed was a Daily Chronicle paper at the
bedside, which contained no individualized activities documented for the resident.
A review of Resident #54's activity records revealed no documented refusal of activities and no recorded
participation in either individual or group activities over the past 30 days.
On 4/23/25 at 10:09 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse, Staff H, was observed briefly checking on Resident
#54 but did not initiate any activity.

On 4/24/25 at 10:00 a.m., Staff H, LPN stated that Resident #54 is not receiving enough stimulation and
said more could be done. Staff H, LPN, said the facility's Director of Activities (DOA) visits the unit about
once a month and that engagement is primarily handled by the activity's assistant, Staff DD, or CNAs in her
absence.
On 4/24/25 at 11:30 a.m. during an interview Registered Nurse Unit Manager, Staff I, stated that Resident
#54's situation represented a failure in providing adequate engagement.
On 4/24/25 at 12:05 p.m., in an interview the Social Services Director (SSD) said when a resident appears
lonely or withdrawn, the intervention would be to talk with the family, involve nursing, and consider a
psychiatric consult. There was no evidence of any interdisciplinary team response documented for Resident
#54 despite ongoing observations of disengagement.
On 4/24/25 at 1:30 p.m., in an interview the DOA said activity preferences were gathered at admission or
quarterly, and daily rounds were conducted. When asked about Resident #54's recent activity participation,
the DOA said he had not personally engaged the resident, and that documentation was lacking

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of facility policy and procedures and family and staff interviews, the facility failed to
ensure the physician was notified and the residents spouse was properly trained to administer medications
for 1 (Resident #93) of 5 residents reviewed for medication observation.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility policy 7.1 Medication Administration General Guidelines documented Medications are
administered as prescribed in accordance with manufacturers specifications, good nursing principles and
practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Medications are administered in accordance with
written orders of the prescriber. Medications are to be administered at the time they are prepared. The
person who prepares the dose for administration is the person who administers the dose.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #93 was [AGE] year old with an admission date of 12/20/24.
Diagnoses include protein calorie malnutrition, convulsions, muscle weakness and the need for assistance
with personal care.
On 4/21/25 at 9:06 a.m., in an interview Resident #93's spouse said my wife is [AGE] years old and they
are not giving her the medications like they should. They give them to her on an empty stomach and she is
on Keppra, (medication used to prevent seizures) and they gave her a double dose this weekend. They put
all the medication in apple sauce and try to force her to take them all at one time and she can't do that, she
will vomit. I come in daily, and they give me the cup of pills and I make sure she takes them. I give them to
her, they trust me here that I know what I'm doing. No one has to stay and babysit me, I know how to give
them to her.
On 4/21/25 at 12:54 p.m., a review of the physician orders for Resident #93 revealed no order for the
spouse to administer the residents' medications. There was no documentation in the plan of care indicating
the spouse would administer the medications and no facility assessment of his capability.
On 4/22/25 at 9:03 a.m., in an interview Resident #93's spouse said last night they ran out of her Eliquis (a
blood thinner) and they told me there was none in the building. He said I come twice a day to give her the
medications. I knew she was missing a pill because I count them before I gave them to her and they were
short one pill last night.
A review of the Medication Administration Record revealed the nurse had administered the medications
including the Eliquis.
On 4/22/25 at 9:25 a.m., observed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff C taking Resident #93's morning
medications into the room and handed them to the spouce, and then returned to the medication cart. Staff
C did not stay with the resident to ensure the medications were given.
On 4/22/25 at 9:35 a.m., in an interview LPN Staff C said the resident will not take her medications for
anyone but the husband. I give them to him, but I stand there and make sure she takes them all. LPN Staff
C said he did not know if there was a physician order to allow the spouse to administer the medications.

what you mean, there is no assessment, and no documentation the spouse can give the medications. The
nurse should be administering the medications.

Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Resident #68 was admitted on [DATE] with end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, weakness, cognitive
communication deficit, heart failure, need for assistance with personal care, feeding tube, colostomy tube,
and indwelling urinary catheter. He was admitted to the facility with multiple pressure wounds. He was also
cognitively impaired based on a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3. He attends dialysis at
an outside facility.
Record review of the admission History and Physical said that Resident #68 was high risk for skin
breakdown and unavoidable wounds due to malnourishment.
Record review showed an admission skin assessment, completed by Staff M, Registered Nurse (RN) Unit
Manager, did not find a wound on the coccyx or on the right flank.
Record review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] did not identify a stage 3 pressure
injury or an unstageable pressure injury upon admission. There was no slough or eschar identified. There
were no venous or arterial ulcers present. The MDS did not identify a pressure reducing device for the bed,
turning/repositioning program, or nutrition/hydration interventions.
On 4/21/25, record review of the care plan included interventions for pressure injury prevention such as
turn and reposition as needed, and cushion to chair.

needs to be turned and repositioned, we don't have a scheduled turning program.
On 4/23/25 at 12:00 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said that if a resident has a worsening wound, she
would expect to be notified so that she can assist with managing the wound and ensure the orders and
interventions are correct. She stated, we don't have a turn and reposition program or policy, it depends on
the needs of the resident.
On 4/23/25 at 4:30 p.m., during a wound care observation, the right flank wound on Resident #68 had black
tissue that was not previously assessed in the wound assessment. Staff Q, RN Supervisor stated, I would
say that due to the slough, this wound is unstageable, I have not seen this wound for at least a week, but
since it looks the same, I would say that it is stable.
On 4/23/25 at 4:25 p.m., Staff M, RN verified that the wound to the right flank was unchanged from the prior
day and agreed that it is an unstageable wound.
On 4/23/25 at 5:00 p.m., the resident's physician said that he does not recall seeing the wound on Resident
#68 and does not know if there is black tissue in the wound bed because he has staff to address the
wounds. He also said that the facility still needs to turn and reposition the resident regardless of whether he
is high risk for developing additional wounds.
Record review showed that a significant change in condition was not documented for the unstageable
wound that was assessed with 3 RN managers present, Staff Q, RN, Staff M, RN and Staff I, RN.
On 4/24/25 at 9:15 a.m., the DON said that the nursing staff had not reported any black tissue that was
identified on Resident #68.
On 4/24/25 at 9:20 a.m., an observation of Resident #68 was made, he was sitting in a wheelchair in

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview, and observation, the facility failed to offer a therapeutic diet for 1 (Resident #60) of
2 reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Resident #60 was admitted on [DATE] with muscle wasting and atrophy, type 2 diabetes, anemia, heart
failure, chronic ulcers, and kidney failure. He goes to the dialysis center 3 times per week. He scored a 15
on his Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) which indicates he is cognitively intact.
On 4/21/25 at 4:08 p.m., Resident #60 was interviewed in his room after arriving from the dialysis center He
stated, I'm waiting for dinner, they need to hurry I am starving.
On 4/21/25 at 4:25 p.m., during an interview, Staff V, Registered Nurse (RN) said that he ate 100% of his
breakfast and the facility provides him a lunch, she does not know why he is so hungry.
Record review of the Dialysis Communication log dated 4/21/25 showed that at 8:30 a.m, Resident #60 ate
breakfast at the facility, and he traveled to dialysis with a bagged lunch. The dialysis center did not
document if the lunch had been eaten.
On 4/21/25 at 4:30 p.m. during an observation, Resident #60 had an empty lunchbox in his room hanging
from his wheelchair. He said that he didn't remember eating lunch that day but was very hungry and
requested something to eat.
Record review of the diet order for Resident #60 showed that there was an order for the resident to receive
a chronic kidney disease diet (CKD) with extra portions.
On 4/22/25 at 9:10 a.m., during an observation, the contents of the dialysis lunchbox for Resident #60 who
was leaving for dialysis, included a sandwich, 2 packs of crackers, an empty water bottle, and a napkin.
On 4/23/25 at 9:33 a.m., during an interview, Dietician Staff J, said that Resident #60 is stable on a CKD
diet, and she is frequently monitoring him. She said that in general, residents going to dialysis should be
getting sandwiches, applesauce, water or juice, unless they are to receive large portions for lunch. Staff J
said she was not aware Resident #60 had been saying he was starving when he arrived back from Dialysis
on 4/21/25.
On 4/23/25 at 9:35 a.m., during an interview Kitchen Manager Staff K, said that today, Resident #60 should
have received 1 beef sandwich, 1 juice, 2 packs of graham crackers. She read this from a list that was
posted on the wall. Staff K, Kitchen Manager, also said that if there is a concern, staff or the resident can
come down to the kitchen at any time to let them know. She said she was not aware of an issue with
Resident #60's lunch.
On 4/23/25 at 9:40 a.m., Kitchen Manger Staff K said that she does not double check the meal once it's
packed by the kitchen staff, instead she picks up the lunch box and checks its weight and contents with her
hands, but does not open the box and look. She demonstrated this with another prepacked lunch box.

On 4/22/25 at 10:16 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said IV dressings are to be
changed every 7 days. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed on 4/17/25 the
nurse signed the record indicating Resident #216's dressing had been changed. The DON said I
understand.
On 4/23/25 at 8:47 a.m., in an interview the DON said I don't understand how you can have a photo of the
PICC line and the MAR said the dressing was changed. I had my nurse go through the garbage last night
looking for any PICC line dressings and they do not match your photos. The DON reviewed the photo's and
verified that they have a date and time stamp on them.
No evidence of a dressing change on 4/17/25 was produced by the facility at the time of exit from the
facility.
On 4/21/25 at 10:27 a.m., Resident #27 said he was receiving antibiotics via a PICC line in the right

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement an effective Infection
Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) for 5 (Residents #111, #25, #27, #68, and #216) of 5 residents
sampled for Infection control practices putting the residents at risk for transmission of multidrug-resistant
organisms (MDROs).
The findings included:
Review of the facility's IPCP policy stated, The IPCP is a comprehensive program that addresses detection,
prevention, and control of infections and communicable diseases among residents, visitors, volunteers,
those individuals providing services under contractual agreement, and personnel. The IPCP, in addition, will
facilitate activities to improve antibiotic use to reduce adverse events, prevent the emergence of antibiotic
resistance, and promote better outcomes for residents.
The goals of the IPCP are to:
a. Provision of a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment
b. Decrease the risk of infection and communicable diseases development and transmission to residents,
volunteers, visitors, individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement, and personnel.
c. Monitor for the occurrence of infections and communicable diseases and implement appropriate
prevention measures to reduce occurrences
d. Identify and correct problems relating to infection control and prevention practices.
e. Focus on activities to optimize the treatment of infections, while reducing potential for the occurrence of
adverse events associated with antibiotic use.
Review of the facilities Enhanced Barrier precautions (EBP) policy showed EBP refers to an infection
control intervention designed to reduce transmission or MDROs that employs targeted gown and glove use
during high contact resident activities. EBP are used in conjunction with standard precautions and expand
the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to include donning of gown and gloves during high-contact
resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. EBP is
indicated for residents with any of the following: 1. Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted
multi-drug-resistant organism when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply, or 2. Wounds and/or
indwelling medical devices, even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with an MDRO.
Residents #25 and #111, residing in the Memory Care Unit, were both on EBP related to wound care. A

third resident, #68, located outside of the Memory Care Unit, was also under EBP for wounds, a Foley
catheter, tube feeding, and a colostomy bag.
During observation of the Memory Care Unit on 4/21/25 from 8:00 a.m., through 11:30 a.m., staff were not
observed wearing gowns at any time when providing care to residents #25 and #111 on EBP.
Residents Affected - Some
On 4/22/25 at 10:15 a.m., during an interview and resident room audit for PPE, the DON reported the
facility's policy is to post EBP signage above the resident's bed, and PPE is to be stored in the resident's
bathroom cubby. Observations of Resident #25's and Resident #111's room revealed no gowns stored in
the resident bathroom cubby. The DON explained PPE audits are to be done daily but acknowledged the
daily PPE audit was not done on 4/22/25.
On 4/23/25 at 1:10 p.m., Resident #25 was observed seated in her wheelchair outside her room, repeatedly
asking for assistance to use the bathroom. No licensed staff were visible in the hallway. Resident #25
became agitated and began to navigate down the hallway in search of help.
On 4/23/25 at 1:25 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff A, responded to Resident #25. The staff
member was observed wearing gloves but did not don a gown while providing direct toileting care. After
assisting the resident, Staff A said the resident was on EBP and she did not wear a gown when assisting
Resident #25 with toileting, and stated she only used gowns when the residents had scabies.
On 4/24/25 at 10:00 a.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff D said PPE was not
consistently available at the entrance of the resident rooms and should be more accessible, especially to
staff entering to perform care. She confirmed receiving EBP training this year but could not recall the date.
On 4/24/25 at 10:35 a.m., in an interview the Memory Care Unit Manager, Staff E said he relies on frequent
rounding of the nursing staff to monitor PPE compliance. When informed of the missing PPE in resident
rooms in the memory care unit and Staff A not donning a gown when assisting Resident #25 with toileting,
he said There was a failure there.
On 4/24/25 at 2:20 p.m., in an interview Infection Preventionist Staff C said she dedicates more than 20
hours a week to infection control, along with daily PPE rounds that are also conducted by the unit
managers and nursing staff. She explained that the facility follows CDC guidelines.
She said the facility intentionally omits door caddies for EBP residents in Memory Care due to concerns
over resident confusion and cost effectiveness. She said she last conducted staff gown donning and doffing
training in February 2025, and spot checks for PPE compliance are conducted every other day. Staff C
admitted that making PPE more accessible to staff in the Memory Care Unit is an area needing
improvement.

environment for residents, staff and the public.
The findings included:
During an observation of the memory care unit on 4/21/25 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. the following was
observed:
Cracked walls with exposed plaster above air conditioning units, walls and corners including Rooms 208,
205, 204, 201, 206, 203, dining room and main hallway.
Missing/broken closet doors including rooms [ROOM NUMBERS].
Foam sprayed in the bottom corner of the window near the back exit door.
Chair/Bed rail missing off wall in room [ROOM NUMBER].
Broken window blinds including Rooma 204, 201, 207, 206, and 209.
Peeling cove base in common hallway, dining room, and rooms [ROOM NUMBER].
The floors of the common hallway were cracked, stained and missing pieces.
Tile was missing from the bathroom wall with exposed plaster in room [ROOM NUMBER].
Sink in Rom 208 was separated from the wall and wiggled when you touched it.
On 4/21/25 at 3:15 p.m., the Memory Care dining room cabinets were noted to have ground in dirt in the
corners between floor and cabinets, the cabinet under the sink contained a Styrofoam cup with a half-eaten
chicken wing, scattered debris, used napkin, dried spilled brown substance and small black particles. A
second cabinet was opened which contained an empty opened milk container, and a third cabinet which
contained staining, a sandwich bag with some type of bread substance inside it, and assorted debris.
On 4/21/25 at 3:25 p.m., the Director of Housekeeping was shown the findings in the dining cabinets. He
said his department was responsible for cleaning these. He said they should not look like that and they
should be cleaning the cabinets every Monday and Friday. On 4/22/25 at 9:24 a.m., the Director of
Housekeeping said he had spoken in error, and the cabinets should have been cleaned on the weekend.
He said it had been scheduled to be cleaned on the previous Sunday and it was missed. He said he had
been aware of issues with bugs in the memory care unit and agreed leaving the cabinets with half eaten
food and debris could attract bugs.
On 04/23/25 at 09:43 a.m., the Administrator entered the Memory care unit, was shown the photographic
evidence and walked through a few rooms to point out the findings. The Administrator said he had only
been with the facility about a month and agreed the unit is old and could use room by room
