**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure showers were provided as per facility schedule and
family request for 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident #3).
The findings included:
Review of the record revealed Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #3 needed the total assistance
of two persons for bathing.
During an interview on 12/19/22 at 1:25 PM, an adult family member of Resident #3 explained the facility
had a shower schedule, and Resident #3 was to get showers twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, during
the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. The family member further volunteered the resident had missed some showers
possibly due to a lack of staff, especially on Fridays. When asked if she requested a different schedule or
day, the adult family member stated, Oh, I can do that?
Review of the current care plan initiated on 09/03/20 and revised on 05/20/21 documented Resident #3 had
limited physical mobility and ADL (Activities of Daily Living) deficits related to comorbidities to include
traumatic brain injury and impaired mobility. This care plan further documented the resident was totally
dependent upon staff to meet her needs.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 3:53 PM, Staff I, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), explained the
provision of residents' showers were documented in both the electronic medical record (EMR) and in a
shower book.
Review of the Tasks section of the EMR, used for documentation by the CNAs, documented as per the
family, Resident #3 prefers showers on Tuesday and Friday during the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. Further review
of documented showers for November and December 2022 revealed Resident #3 did not receive her
scheduled shower on 11/11/22, 11/15/22, 11/25/22, 11/29/22, 12/06/22, and 12/13/22.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure continued podiatry services for 1 of 1
sampled resident (Resident #34).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
During an interview and observation on 12/19/22 at 10:40 AM, the toenails of Resident #34 were noted to
be elongated, extending approximately half a centimeter past the end of his toes, and thickened. When
asked if he was a diabetic, Resident #34 stated he was not. When asked if the staff cut his toenails,
Resident #34 stated they did not and that a podiatrist cut them in the past.
Review of the record revealed Resident #34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #34 had a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. This
MDS lacked any documented instances of the rejection of care, and revealed the resident needed the
limited assistance of one person for personal hygiene.
Further review of the record revealed a podiatry visit dated 04/19/22. This progress note documented the
resident's toenails at that time were thickened, yellowed, and causing pain. This note also documented,
Care of this patient by a non-skilled professional may be hazardous to the patient's health. Patient meets
systemic diagnostic requirements, confirmed by the attending PCP (personal care physician), for routine
foot care to prevent risks when performed by a nonprofessional. I have recommended foot care on a
periodic 10-12 week basis ongoing. This would indicate Resident #34 would have needed additional
podiatry services by 07/12/22.
Review of the current and discontinued orders and social service notes from April 2022 lacked any mention
of podiatry services.
During an interview on 12/22/22 at 9:00 AM, the Social Services Director (SSD) explained she started at
the facility on 10/31/22. The SSD was made aware of the 04/19/22 podiatry progress note and stated she
would add Resident #34 to the podiatry list.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure continued range of motion (ROM) services for 1 of 1
sample resident (Resident #3).
The findings included:
During an interview on 12/19/22 at 1:49 PM, the adult family member of Resident #3 voiced concern that
the facility was no longer providing range of motion services to the resident. When asked if she knows why
the services were not being provided, the family member stated she was unsure.
Review of the record revealed Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #3 had functional limited range
of motion to all four extremities. This MDS also documented the resident was not receiving therapy,
restorative, or range of motion services.
Review of the current orders lacked any orders for range of motion or restorative services. Review of the
discontinued order dated 07/08/21 documented, Resident graduated from program will reevaluate in 1
month under the discontinued note in the order as of 11/02/21. Further review of the orders revealed
Resident #3 had been receiving range of motion services via their restorative program since at least
12/16/20.
Review of the current care plan initiated 09/03/20 and revised on 05/20/21 documented Resident #3 had
limited physical mobility and ADL (activities of daily living) deficits related to multiple comorbidities including
traumatic brain injury and contractures. One of the interventions was for staff to place rolled washcloths in
both hands.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 2:24 PM, Staff H, Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
confirmed she provides range of motion services to residents for maintenance. When asked about Resident
#3, Staff H confirmed she had seen her in the past for ROM services, but was unsure why she was not
currently seeing the resident.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 3:06 PM, the Director of Rehab (DOR) services confirmed they do
quarterly therapy screens for the long-term residents. When asked about Resident #3 in regard to range of
motion, the DOR stated he thought the resident was still on restorative services for ROM.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 3:07 PM, the Restorative Nurse stated she was not here in November
2021 when the restorative services were discontinued for Resident #3. The Restorative Nurse was unsure if
Resident #3 was reevaluated in one month as per the discontinued order, or the reason why the resident
was no longer on restorative services.
During a subsequent interview and observation on 12/21/22 at 4:27 PM, the Restorative Nurse stated they
were unable to locate the one-month reevaluations. The DOR joined the interview, again confirming he
thought Resident #3 was on the restorative services, and confirmed the documented intervention for the
towel palm rolls. Upon observation of Resident #3 at that time, the hand rolls were not in place. The DOR
suggested reestablishing ROM services for Resident #3 to maintain her current level of mobility.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a safe transfer for 1 of 1 sampled resident, Resident
#215, reviewed for falls, as evidenced by the facility's process/policy requiring 2-person assistance for all
Hoyer transfers not being followed by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA).
The findings included:
Review of Policy, titled, Safe Resident Handling/Transfers, dated 11/20 with a revised review date of 01/22,
documented all residents require safe handling when transferred to prevent or minimize the risk for injury to
themselves and the employees that assist them. Under compliance guidelines #10, it documented two staff
members must be utilized when transferring residents with a mechanical lift.
Review of Resident #215's medical records documented the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses to include Pathological Fracture Left Femur, Displaced Fracture of Base of Neck of Left
Femur, History of Falling, Type II Diabetes with Diabetic Neuropathy, Heart Failure, Hypertension, Anxiety,
Seizures, Dementia, and Major Depressive Disorder.
Review of the resident's MDS (Minimum Data Set) Admission/Medicare 5 day, dated 05/12/22, documented
the resident has a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 8, indicating his cognition is mildly impaired.
For transfers, it was documented he is totally dependent on 2-person, extensive assistance of 2-person for
Bed Mobility, Dressing, Toileting, and Personal Hygiene.
Review of the resident's Care Plans documented he is at risk for falls.
Further review of Progress Notes, dated 12/14/22 at 3:24 PM by Staff K, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse),
documented: the aide [CNA] notified me [LPN] that a patient was on the floor. Resident assessed for
injuries. Resident denied hitting his head. Gash found on left lower extremity. Physician notified and orders
given to send patient to ER [Emergency Room]. Resident's injury cleaned and covered before ER transfer.
Review of the fall investigation documented on 12/14/22 11:00 AM, the resident fell out of Hoyer lift
machine during transfer while being assisted in transfer; 1:1 education completed with CNA regarding
Hoyer safety. Staff A, CNA, received a written warning on using a mechanical lift alone without assistance.
The policy of the company is that mechanical lifts require 2-person assistance for safety.
During an interview on 12/19/22 at 12:51 PM, Resident #215's spouse and private aide stated they
dropped him [the resident] using the Hoyer lift and he had a gash on his leg, which required 14 external
stitches and some on inside.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 10:15 AM with Staff K, LPN, she stated: 'I was called in the room by an
aide who told me that she heard the resident fall; (Staff B), I went into room he was lying on floor, he had
gash on left side of shin. There was an aide in there, the Hoyer lift was in the room. She said she was
transferring him, it started to tip over and he was on the ground on top of Hoyer Pad. I called 911.' She was
asked how he is supposed to be transferred and stated, he is a Hoyer lift for transfers.

During an interview on 12/21/22 at 1:05 PM with Staff L, CNA, revealed, 'I was assisting another resident
and when I came out of the room I heard a loud boom and then heard a CNA call for help, she was in room
[XX]. The Hoyer lift and the resident were by the door, she was trying to lift him and I told her to take the
hooks out of the Hoyer so we can lift the Hoyer up. I went and got the nurse. There was blood on the floor.
When we do a Hoyer we use 2 people she only used herself no one else.'
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 1:10 PM with Staff A, CNA, stated I was supposed to use two-person for
the Hoyer but there was no one else to help me. I got him dressed and put the Hoyer pad under him, he
was lifted up and the chair underneath him, one of the wheels was stuck under the bed and it tilted over.
She said the bed moved because it does not lock. I now know not to do it by myself. I have been here since
[DATE]. They did retraining with me, they were pretty strict with me about using two people but I now know
why. I had him the other day and did a two person transfer but really need three.
During an interview on 12/21/22 at 1:17 PM with the Rehabilitation (Rehab) Director, he was asked how
Resident#215 was supposed to be transferred. He stated, by a Hoyer lift, we have determined he is a Hoyer
lift but for therapy purposes he is transferred by two persons standing up. He is toe-touch for weight bearing
on left lower extremity, that is the side he had the fracture.
During an interview on 12/22/22 at 2:46 PM with Staff B, CNA, Staff B stated, [Resident #215] 'will try his
hardest to help but he is a 2-person assist to get him up in chair, 2-people for pivot, and the family is
uncomfortable with Hoyer so we try not to use it. I did notice his bed moving, even when it is locked it
moved. The first time was this past weekend. I think I told the nurse or CNA on hallway. I did not put it in
Tells [communication system for maintenance], I should have but didn't. He is a 2-person for everything.'

aide's performance reviews and facility assessment.
During a side-by-side review of personnel files on 12/22/22 at 3:23 PM, the Business of Manager / Human
Resources Director was asked the facility's practice regarding performance evaluations. The Human
Resources Director explained that each department head should be doing annual evaluations around their
anniversary date of hire. The Human Resources Director was asked to locate and provide the most current
performance evaluation for Staff H, Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who was hired on
09/07/20; Staff I, CNA, who was hired on 04/25/12; and Staff J, CNA, who was hired on 05/21/12. The
Human Resources Director looked through the three personnel files and could not locate any current
performance evaluations. The most recent performance evaluation located was from 2020.
During an interview on 12/22/22 at 3:42 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON), who had been at the facility as
DON for at least two years, confirmed she was responsible for the annual performance evaluations for the
nursing staff, including the nurse aides, on or about their anniversary date. The DON volunteered they had
recently initiated a new form, but she had not used it yet. The DON agreed the evaluations had not been
completed for the three sampled staff, and that she had not done any of the nurse aide annual evaluations.

12/21/22 at 10:58 AM, he stated that the resident is a super brittle diabetic with regiment of his BS's spiking
above 200-400. He is supposed to get coverage if he spikes. He is on basal insulin as well. He stated that
he is supposed to get the ordered dose 4 times a day and then on top of the order dose, he is supposed to
get the sliding scale insulin if he falls within the parameters. He stated he cannot recall if he ever was
contacted for when his insulin was outside the parameters.
Based on record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure monitoring of medications
related to following physician ordered parameters and medication administration for 3 of 5 sampled

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to properly secure medications for 1 of
3 medication carts (West Unit), and for 1 of 3 treatment carts (East Unit). The census at the time of the
survey was 59, and the number of independently ambulatory residents was 4.
The findings included:
Review of the policy, titled, Medication Storage revised 05/04/22, documented, 1. General Guidelines: a. All
drugs and biologicals will be stored in locked compartments (i.e., medications carts, .) . c. During a
medication pass, medications must be under the direct observation of the person administering
medications or locked in the medication storage area/cart.
1. A medication pass observation was made on 12/19/22 beginning at 4:04 PM, with Staff G, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN), on the [NAME] Unit. While the LPN was gathering the medications for Resident #25,
she realized one was missing. The LPN left the medication cart at the far end of the [NAME] Unit, leaving it
unlocked, and went into the medication room near the nurses' station with the evening supervisor, to get the
medication out of the automated medication distribution system. Staff G returned to the medication cart and
obtained the rest of the medications for Resident #25. At 4:15 PM, Staff G went into the room of Resident
#25, again out of sight of the medication cart, leaving the cart against the wall between two rooms, with the
unlocked drawers facing out into the hallway. A visitor, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), and another nurse
were noted in the hallway at the time.
Upon return to the medication cart, Staff G did not notice the cart was unlocked. The LPN obtained a
requested pain medication for Resident #25, and returned to the resident's room, again leaving the cart
unlocked. Upon return to the medication cart, the LPN did not notice the cart had been left unlocked.
During the continued medication pass observation on 12/19/22 at 4:19 PM, Staff G obtained medications
for Resident #12. At 4:23 PM, the LPN left the medication in the same location, went into the room of
Resident #12, leaving the medication cart unlocked a third time.
Upon return to the medication cart on 12/19/22 at 4:26 PM, Staff G asked the surveyor how she did with
the medication pass. When asked about locking the medication cart, the LPN looked at the medication cart
lock, looked surprised and stated, I didn't lock my cart? And when you were coming my way, I was telling
myself, I need to lock the cart.
2. On 12/21/22 at 3:08 PM, the East Unit treatment cart was noted near the front of the East Unit hallway,
against the wall and unlocked. Upon opening the drawers, multiple wound care medications / ointments and
dressing supplies were noted. While standing at the treatment cart, the Director of Nursing (DON) arrived
and agreed with the unlocked and unattended treatment cart. The DON summoned Staff K, direct care LPN
for the East Unit, who confirmed she had left it opened.

1a. On 12/19/22 at 3:17 PM, Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN), was standing in front of her medication cart,
preparing to start evening blood sugar checks. The RN was holding her clipboard that had two zip lock
bags, each containing a glucometer for a different resident (Resident #15 and #7). Taking both glucometers
with her, the RN went into the room of Resident #15, placing a paper towel on the resident's over the bed
table. The RN placed her clipboard directly on the resident's over-the-bed table, pulled the glucometer for
Resident #15 out of the plastic bag and placed it on the paper towel, obtained the blood sugar level for the
resident, scooped up the used lancet, strip and alcohol pad into her gloved hand, and removed the glove to
dispose of in the trash. The RN then placed the used glucometer back into the plastic bag without any type
of cleaning or disinfecting. During the process, the plastic bag with the glucometer for Resident #7 slid off
the RN's clipboard and onto the paper towel, and the plastic bag for the glucometer for Resident #15
slipped directly on the resident's over-the-bed table.
During the continued observation on 12/19/22 at 3:22 PM, Staff C went into the main dining room to locate
Resident #7. The RN placed the container of glucometer strips directly on the table and went to find a paper
towel. Upon return, the RN placed the plastic bag containing the glucometer for Resident #7 directly on the

placed it on the paper towel. The RN took the resident's finger and started the procedure, looking up at the
surveyor and asked if it was okay to do it without gloves. The surveyor simply stated it was up to her. The
RN left the dining room, went out to obtain gloves, and returned to the dining room with gloves donned. The
RN completed the blood sugar level, placing the used glucometer back into the plastic bag. While walking
back to the cart, the RN dropped the container of glucometer strips on the floor. Upon return to the
medication cart, the RN placed the two plastic bags with the resident's glucometers, and the dropped
container of strips back into the top drawer of the medication cart. The RN then placed the trash to include
the lancet, used strip, and alcohol pad into the garbage.
During a subsequent interview on 12/21/22 at 4:00 PM, Staff C, who had just finished using a glucometer,
summoned the surveyor and stated, I know I have to clean it and grabbed an alcohol pad and wiped off the
glucometer, took a second alcohol pad and while trying to place it on the end of the glucometer at the strip
insertion site, stated, I don't know why I am doing this but they told me to. When asked why she did not
clean or disinfect the glucometer during the observation on 12/19/22, the RN stated, Because they did not
tell me to do so. I was in home care for 20 plus years. I was just told to clean them. The surveyor asked the
evening supervisor to show Staff C the facility's process for cleaning and disinfecting glucometers. The
supervisor explained the process using the disinfectant wipes.
1b. On 12/19/22 at 3:47 PM, Staff F, LPN, stated she was ready to do a blood sugar level for Resident
#215. The LPN obtained a zip lock bag from the medication cart that contained the glucometer, along with
other needed supplies to include the canister of glucometer strips. The LPN entered the resident's room,
placed the clear plastic bag with all the supplies directly on the resident's over-the-bed table. The LPN took
a paper towel and placed the items from the bag onto the towel. The LPN obtained the blood sugar level,
and placed the used glucometer and container of strips into the plastic bag. After hand washing, the LPN
returned to the medication cart, placed the container of strips back into the top drawer of the medication
cart, along with the plastic bag with the used glucometer. The LPN did not disinfect the glucometer.
During a subsequent interview on 12/21/22 at 4:15 PM, Staff F was reminded of the observations with the
glucometer, plastic bag, and container of strips from 12/19/22 and agreed with the infection control issues.
1c. On 12/21/22 at 11:40 AM, Staff D, LPN, obtained a blood sugar level from Resident #15. After the
procedure, the LPN appropriately threw away all disposable items and then placed the glucometer directly
on the resident's over-the-bed table to wash her hands. The LPN then took the glucometer and placed it
directly on top of the medication cart. After proper disinfection of the glucometer, the LPN stated she was
done and asked how she did. When informed of the observation of the used glucometer directly from
resident's table to the top of the medication cart, the LPN understood the infection control concern and
proceeded to wipe off the top of the medications cart with a disinfectant wipe.
2. On 12/19/22 at 4:01 PM, the surveyor arrived at the medication cart located near the room of Resident
#25, who was holding her nebulizer treatment while it was running. Staff G, LPN, returned to her
medication cart from a different room and informed the surveyor she had set up the resident's nebulizer and
did an assessment. The LPN was prepping to do another resident's medications. At 4:03 PM, Resident #25
stopped the nebulizer and put the equipment back into the drawer. Staff G was followed until 4:26 PM, and
she failed to return to Resident #25's room to clean the nebulizer equipment.

this medication pass, the RN removed 10 pills from the pill packets. The RN touched the pills with her bare
hands on several occasions, while popping the pill out of the pill pack. After administering all of the pills, the
RN set up the resident's nebulizer, did a respiratory assessment, then provided the medication. The RN
stated she would stay with the resident, reassess her at the end of the treatment, and wash out the
equipment with tap water and place back into the plastic bag. The RN was made aware the policy
documented to clean with sterile or distilled water and allow to air dry, and the RN stated she had never
done that. The RN was also made aware of the touching of the pills with her bare fingers and agreed to the
infection control concerns.

4. During an observation on 12/19/22 at 12:18 PM, Staff D, LPN, went into the room of Resident #43 to
start the resident's tube feeding. While opening the new tubing set and setting up supplies, the LPN
knocked over the large syringe and container used during tube feeding or medication administration, and
both fell onto the floor. The LPN picked up the syringe and container from the floor and rinsed them off in
the resident's sink. The LPN proceeded to fill up the canister and put the tap water into the new set. The
LPN used the syringe to flush the resident's feeding tube with tap water.
During a subsequent interview on 12/21/22 at 11:40 AM, Staff D, LPN was asked about using the syringe
and container for Resident #43, after having dropped them on the floor. The LPN stated, Yes, but I washed
them off.
5. On 12/19/22 at 2:59 PM, Staff C, LPN, arrived to the North Unit and introduced herself to the day nurse
and the surveyor. Staff C proceeded to go to every room on the North Unit, to introduce herself to the
residents and do a quick observation. Although not all rooms were observed, the LPN was seen patting two
of the residents, moving an over-the-bed table in one room, and assisting one resident by handing them the
call bell. The LPN failed to perform any hand hygiene between each resident.
On 12/21/22 at 3:05 PM, Staff C was observed doing the same routine, going in and out of every resident
room without any type of hand hygiene. During an interview at this time, the LPN was made aware of the
observation of failing to perform hand hygiene between resident contact, and stated she hadn't thought of
that.
