tray goes directly to restorative in the main dining room, if restorative dining gets canceled for the day, I
inform the kitchen to send the resident's tray on the floor where the resident resides, so the resident can
eat there. The Restorative CNA would go to the kitchen and inform the kitchen staff or the director of the
kitchen, we give them a list of all the residents on restorative dining, they know that the residents on the list
we gave them will need their food sent to their rooms. On 10/10/22 and 10/11/22 we did not have
restorative dining, so the restorative dining residents ate in their rooms. On 10/12/22 we had restorative
dining, and the resident ate in the dining room with us in the restorative dining area. Monday and Tuesday I
informed the kitchen staff that there was not going to be any restorative dining, and today we told the

dining came to the dining room. Restorative dining was canceled on Monday and Tuesday because the
room was kind of warm and it was not comfortable for the residents. Maintenance was working on the air
system in the room. The air/chiller is working good today and the room is comfortable.

Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) Staff A, 10/12/2022 at 12:10 PM revealed the resident went recently
for a consult, and they kept the hearing aid (right one) in the doctor's office to fix it because it was not
working properly. During a follow up interview on 10/13/2022 at 09:21 am Staff A was asked about the
paper attached to the wall with Resident #137's name and picture with the hearing aids information. Staff A
revealed, they posted the paper on the wall containing the resident's name and hearing aids information
when the resident came from consult, for staff to learn how to use them because the resident cannot do it
by herself. Staff A stated, the resident is alert, but she cannot do it. Staff A further stated that she does not
know who put the paper on the wall, but explained the post is the document that came in the box with the
hearing aids. Staff A reported the information should not be there because of HIPPA law and that she
received training on privacy of residents and HIPPA law. Staff A immediately attempted to remove the sign
off the wall and was asked by the surveyor to wait and call the nurse supervisor.
On 10/13/22 at 09:26 AM Staff B, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), revealed when asked who posted
the paper with Resident #137's name and instructions for the resident's hearing aids. Staff B stated, I don't
know who put it there. Staff B stated she think it was put on the wall to give instructions on how to use the
hearing aids and she knows HIPPA and privacy. Staff B stated in Spanish language that she believes the
sign is not good under HIPPA law and should not be there.
Interview with Staff C, RN Supervisor on 10/13/22 at 09:28 AM revealed she was not aware of the paper
put on the wall. Staff C stated she was aware of what is happening with Resident #137's hearing aids and
knows that some time ago the doctor kept one of the hearing aids in his office to fix it. Staff C explained the
CNAs should be taught verbally. Staff C stated they should take the sign off the wall because she knows
HIPPA and that the paper is a violation of Resident #137's privacy. It doesn't have to be there.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/13/2022 at 01:50 PM revealed the facility started in
service training with staff about privacy and HIPPA law. The DON stated the sign should not be posted with
information where it was visible the resident's name and the hearing aids she is using. The DON stated
they have no idea who put the sign on the wall. The DON was asked about the facility's practice on
communicating with staff about resident's care and in a case, staff needed to be trained on certain aspects
of the resident's care; the DON reported that staff nurses and supervisors will make all staff aware of what
is needed for all residents, and they all are educated on residents' rights and the right to privacy. The DON
revealed that even when the family wants to put a sign about anything the staff should educate the family
on resident rights to privacy.
Review of the facility's Policy and Procedures for Resident Rights dated 03/01/2021 revealed:
Policy: It is the policy of the facility to provide Resident Rights in accordance with State and Federal
regulations. Procedure: The facility will follow the Resident Rights as follows: 15. The resident has the right

Aide, when asked about Resident #21 having any condition that prevents her from getting out of bed and
going to Activities, Staff L stated that the resident was contracted in the lower body and not able to get out
of bed. The Activities Director and Staff stated that they do one to one visit with Resident #21 three times

hand massages, we reminisce about family. When asked how much time was spent with Resident #21 for
the activities that she described, Staff L replied, 5-10 minutes each time. It was determined that the

do massage for a few minutes, reminiscing about family, and turning the television on for the resident. Staff
L further stated that she goes to each residents' room that she is assigned, including Resident #21, to turn
on the television, and I ask them if they need anything.
On 10/13/22 at approximately 8:00 AM, the Activities Director provided documentation of one-to-one room
visits with Resident #21 and stated that Therapy was going to reassess the resident to see if she can safely
be taken out of bed. The Activities Director further stated that if they can safely get the resident out of bed,
they would remove her from one-to-one and she would be able to participate in activities. When asked

During an interview, on 10/13/22 at 9:44 AM, with the Director of Rehabilitation, when asked about
Resident #21, the Director of Rehab stated: She was on PT (Physical Therapy) and OT (Occupational
Therapy) at the beginning of the year, we discharged her on 02/14/22 and she was endorsed to restorative
for range of motion and bed mobility. We usually do a screen whenever they have any problems with sitting
and mobility. She was in a high back wheelchair. I did one recently for a Geri-chair. When we pick up the
resident for skilled services and endorse them to restorative it is for mobility, bed mobility and range of
motion. Restorative would be responsible for getting them out of bed. We assigned her a chair on admission
as part of our screening. Whenever she was admitted was when she got her chair, the rest is up to
restorative. She was assessed on 2/12/22 for PT and OT and at that time was when she got her wheelchair.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to follow a physician
ordered therapeutic diet (fluid restriction) for 1 (Resident #94) out of 5 residents sampled for nutrition
review.
The findings included:
During the observation of the lunch meal on 10/10/22 at 12:30 PM, it was noted that the meal tray was
served to the room of Resident #94. Observation of the lunch meal ticket on the meal tray documented a

noted that the resident had an additional 6 ounces (180 ml) of water on the bedside table with the meal tray.
During the meal observation it was noted that there was no supervision or assistance given to Resident
#94.
A second meal observation was conducted of the breakfast meal of 10/11/22 at approximately 8:10 AM and
again the tray was served to the room of Resident #94. Review of the breakfast meal ticket also
documented Fluid Restriction, however the amounts of fluids to be served with the breakfast meal were not
documented on the meal ticket. It was noted that 6 ounces orange Juice, 6 ounces of coffee, and 8 ounces
of milk were served for a total of 600 ml. It was also noted that a 16-ounce container of ice water was on
the resident's over-bed table. Interview conducted with the resident at the time of the meal observation
revealed some cognitive confusion however the resident stated to have no knowledge of the fluid restriction
and would drink the water from the contained during the day. During the meal observation it was noted that
there was no staff supervision or assistance given to Resident #94.
A review of Resident #94's clinical records revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Clinical diagnoses include but not limited to: Hypo-Osmolality-Hyponatremia, Cerebral Infarction, DM 2.
COPD, Calorie-Pro Malnutrition, and Dysphagia, Dementia. Review of the current Physician Orders

Director of Nursing. Following the nursing review, it was revealed that the 9/1/22 Fluid Restriction should
have been clarified by nursing to obtain the total amount of fluid restriction per 24 hours and the breakdown
of the restriction between nursing and dietary.
On 10/13/22 the Director of Nursing submitted to the surveyor a clarified physician order dated 10/12/22 for
Resident #94 that included the following:
* Fluid Restriction: 1200 ml per day
* Dietary to provide 720 ml for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner meals
* Nursing to provide 210 ml 7-3 shift
* Nursing to provide 210 ml 3-11 shift
* Nursing to provide 60 ml 11-7 shift
* Total of 1200 ml /day
Review of the facility's Policy & Procedure dated 08/07/2020 for Fluid Restriction review noted:
Guidelines:
#2 - A specific physician's order for the fluid amount to be provided in a 24-hour period is required. The
order is to be written as a range of fluid by cc.
#3 - When an order is received for a fluid restriction, the dietitian confers with the nursing department to
determine how much fluid each department is to provide.
#5 - The Fluid Restriction Worksheet is used to outline the division of fluids - by department, meal, and
shift. The original form is placed in the dietary section of the medical record.
#6 - The amount of fluid to be given with meds on each shift is written of the Medication Administration
Record (MAR). This will be part of the Physician's Order Sheet (POS) and the permanent MAR for the
length of the ordered restriction.
During an interview conducted with the facility's Registered Dietitian On 10/13/22 noted to state that the
facility policy and procedure was not followed to include that the dietary department was notified via a
dietary slip of Resident #94 fluid restriction. The Dietitian further stated that the physician's fluid restriction
would have been clarified and a new restriction obtained. Further stated that once the order was clarified a
calculation of dietary and nursing fluid allotments would have been conducted and nursing notified of a
change to the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for fluid per shift.
The dietitian also submitted to the surveyor the clarified dietary tray tickets to include documentation of a
1200 ml Fluid Restriction and documented 240 ml of fluids per shift and a clarified MAR fluid restriction per
shift.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation and interview it was determined that the facility failed to store, prepare, serve food in
accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The issues included: failure to protect food
from contamination, failure to maintain sanitizing chemical solutions, failure to maintain refrigeration and ice
machines, and proper cleaning and maintenance of food preparation equipment.
The findings included:
1) During the original food service observation tour conducted in the main kitchen on 10/10/22 at
approximately 9:00 AM accompanied with the facility's Food Service Manager (FSD), the following were
noted:
(a) Upon entrance into the kitchen it was noted that 4 facility staff (Staff P, Q, R, and S) were working within
food preparation and food serving areas. Further observation noted that there 4 staff were wearing dangling
ear and neck jewelry. Interview with the FSD at the time of the observation revealed that she was not aware
that jewelry falling into food is a form of food contamination and requested that the 4 staff remove their
jewelry while working in these areas.
(b) Observation of the juice dispensing machine noted that the dispensing gun nozzle was being stored in
soiled, stagnant water when not in use. Interview with the FSD at the time of the observation revealed that
she was unaware that the gun dispensing nozzle was required to be stored in moving clean water of
cleaned and sanitized and kept dry after each use.
(c) During the observation of the food preparation sink area it was noted that the wall area was in disrepair
and had large area of peeling paint that were located directly above the sink area. It was discussed with the
FSD at the time of the observation that there was the potential for pieces of the wall and peeling paint to fall
into foods being prepared in the sink area and could result in food contamination. The facility's Food
Service Manager was informed by the surveyor that the preparation sink area should not be utilized until
wall repair and painting was completed.
(d) During the observation of the exhaust hood it was noted that the exterior of the hood, wall vent, and
surrounding wall area had dust and laden with dirt. It was discussed with the FSD at the time of the
observation that the dust could potentially fall into foods being prepared by the commercial food preparation
equipment that are located directly beneath the exhaust hood. The surveyor requested that the dust/dirt be
removed, and wall area be cleaned prior to the next meal preparation.
(e) During the observation of the Reach-in refrigerator #1 it was noted that the 18 food storage shelves
located within the unit were rusted and had areas of the plastic coating being worn off. It was also noted
that the internal temperature of the unit was recorded at 50 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and the exterior of the
unit had heavy build-up of condensation that was dripping back into the cavity of the refrigerator. It was
discussed with the FSD at the time that the internal shelves (18) required repair or replacement. It was also
discussed that the internal temperature of the unit (50 F) was far above the regulatory requirement of 41
degrees or higher. It was also discussed that high temperature was causing the heavy condensation
build-up and that the unit should be monitored and if continued, use of the unit will be ceased until it is
working properly.

(f) Observation of the commercial ice machine noted that the entire exterior was covered with a heavy
build-up of condensation. Further observation of the unit noted that when opening the door to the ice
reserve the condensation was dripping down the exterior of the unit and dripping into the fresh ice
reservoir. It was discussed with the FSD that the fresh ice was potentially being contaminated from the
dripping condensation and the unit should not be used until it is working properly without the potential of
contamination from the exterior condensation.
(g) At the request of the surveyor a chemical test of the rag bucket solution (Bucket's #1 and #2) was
conducted by the FSD. During the chemical test of the cleaning water solution, it was noted both cleaning
rag buckets were recorded at over and above 400 PPM of Quaternary Ammonia (QUAT) chemical solution.
It was discussed that the regulatory requirement of the QUAT was 200 PPM. It was further discussed that
the chemical solution being left on the surfaces of food preparation surfaces, food serving surfaces and
food preparation equipment was potentially toxic. It was further discussed that the chemical company
servicing the department be notified to titrate the chemical solution down to the regulatory requirement of
200 PPM.
(h) At the request of the surveyor a chemical test of the dish machine final rinse was conducted by the FSD.
During the chemical test of the final rinse solution, it was noted to be recorded at over and above 200 PPM
of chlorine bleach chemical solution. It was discussed with the FSD that the regulatory requirement of the
chlorine bleach solution was 50-100 PPM. It was further discussed that the chemical solution being left on
the surfaces of residents' dishes and glassware was potentially toxic. It was further discussed that the
chemical company servicing the department be notified to titrate the chemical solution down to the
regulatory requirement of 50-100 PPM.
(i) During observation of the commercial floor mixer it was noted that the exterior was heavily rusted in
areas that were directly above the mixing bowl area. It was discussed with the FSD that this was a potential
that each time the mixer is used the potential for pieces of rust to fall into the mixing bowl and potentially
result in food contamination.
(j) During observation of the walk-in refrigerator it was noted that the internal walls of the unit had large
areas of peeling paint. It was discussed with the FSD at the time of the observation that there was the
potential of peeling paint to fall into foods being stored within the unit.
2) During a subsequent tour of the dietary department on 10/11/22 at 11:00 AM, the following were noted:
(k) Observed Staff T to be working in the food preparation and serving area. Further observation of Staff T
noted a heavy beard and moustache which was not covered by a beard/moustache guard. The surveyor
requested to the FSD that Staff T don a beard/moustache guard prior to continued work in the food
preparation and serving areas.
(l) During the observation of lunch tray preparation, the surveyor requested that food temperatures be taken
with the facility's calibrated thermometer. As a result of the temperature testing, it was noted that 4 servings
of thickened milk were recorded at 51 degrees F. It was discussed with the FSD at the time of the
observation that cold foods are required to be held the regulatory temperature of 41 degrees F or below.
The surveyor recommended that the milk serving be discarded.
3) During a routine observation of Resident #142 on 10/12/22 at 12 PM, it was noted that a duffle bag was
in the room near the resident. The surveyor asked the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) about

the bag who stated that is the bag she is taking with her to the dialysis center. The CNA stated that the bag
was dropped of approximately 30 minutes ago and stated that the bag contained food that the resident will
eat at the dialysis center. At the request of the surveyor the paper bag that contained the food included:
tuna fish sandwich, cranberry drink, canned fruit, and graham cracker. It was also noted that the perishable
food (tuna fish) was not contained in an insulated bag and there was no frozen commercial ice brick to
ensure that the food remained at the regulatory temperature of 41 degrees F or below for transport to the
dialysis center and storage at the dialysis center. The CNA also stated that the food is stored in only a
brown paper bag for each dialysis day (3 times per week). The bag was brought to the administrator and
Food Service manager who revealed that they were aware that the perishable food required cold food
maintenance but failed to store foods properly for Resident #142.

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to demonstrate effective plan of
actions were implemented to correct identified quality deficiencies in problem prone area related to
repeated deficient practices for Activities Meet Interest/Needs Each Resident (F 679). As evidenced by the
facility failed to provide meaningful activities for Resident #21. F 812 Food Procurement
Store/Prepare/Serve/Sanitary (F 812), the facility failed to follow sanitation procedures in the kitchen and
failed to ensure food was kept at the proper temperature for a resident going to dialysis treatment (Resident
# 142). This deficient practice has the potential to affect 147 residents residing in the facility at the time of
survey.
The findings included:
Record review of the facility's survey history revealed, during a recertification survey with exit dated
02/20/2020, F 679 Activities Meet Interest/Needs Each Resident was cited related to the care plan for a
resident with no planned interventions to address activity needs and or preferences. F 812 for Food
Procurement Store/Prepare/Serve/Sanitary was cited due to staff failure to sanitize his/her hands before
assisting a resident to eat.
During an interview with the facility's Administrator and the Director of Nursing on 10/13/2022 at 3:25 PM.
The Administrator stated that the QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) meetings are
held on the last Thursday of each month. The Administrator stated that for the Activities deficiency they will
provide education training for Activities Staff to provide meaningful activities to the residents that prefer to
stay in their room. Activities staff should go to their rooms and provide individualized activities. For Food
Procurement education training for dietary staff to prevent the issues with the food not properly stored for
residents going out of the facility for dialysis treatment how to follow sanitation procedures in the kitchen.
The Director of Nursing stated immediately after the Administrator knew about the issues with food storage,
he sent a staff to buy insulated lunch bags for the residents.
