This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to follow their policy and
procedure titled "Transfer and Discharge" to
notify the Office of the Ombudsman when 3 out
of 3 reviewed residents (Resident 93, 56, 41)
were transferred to hospitals. This failure had
the potential to remove added protection to
residents from being discharged or transferred
inappropriately.
Findings:
During a record review on 6/25/18, at 2:31
p.m., Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS,
an assessment tool), dated 4/14/18, indicated
the facility transferred Resident 41 to the
hospital on 4/14/18.
During a record review on 6/25/18, at 2:48
p.m., Resident 56's medical record indicated
the facility transferred Resident 56 to the
hospital on 5/6/18 and 5/31/18.
Resident 93's MDS, dated 5/3/18, indicated the
facility transferred Resident 93 to an acute care
hospital on 5/3/18.

F verified Resident 41 was sent to the hospital
related to left leg skin breakdown. The Health
Status Note dated 4/14/18 at 5:44 p.m.,
indicated Resident 41 had a black open
hematoma (a traumatic injury underneath the
skin or the tissues) with black-reddish bleeding
with a mild odor on her left lower extremity, and
the facility sent Resident 41 to the hospital.
Licensed Staff F stated Resident 41 developed
the hematoma on her left leg when Resident 41
bumped her leg on a wheelchair on 4/6/18.

plan, initiated on 3/21/18, indicated Resident 41
required 2-person assist during transfer.
During an interview on 6/29/18, at 10:38 a.m.,
Unlicensed Staff G stated the CNAs received
information on how to transfer a resident from a
sheet filled out by the nurse and/or therapist,
which was posted on the resident's closet and
reviewed by both the incoming and previous
CNA during shift change.
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 41, the admission Minimum Data Set
(an assessment tool) dated 3/21/18, indicated
Resident 41 needed extensive assistance (staff
provide weight-bearing support) during transfer
(how resident moved between surfaces
including to and from: bed, chair, wheelchair,
standing position) from 2 persons.
During a review of the clinical record from the
hospital for Resident 41, the Discharge
Summary dated 4/17/18, indicated Resident 41
had cellulitis (bacterial infection involving the
inner layers of the skin) on her left leg, and it
was treated with antibiotics.
2. During an observation and concurrent record
review on 6/25/18 at 7:40 a.m., Resident 51
had a sign on the wall above her bed which
indicated, "Fluid Restriction" and no water
pitcher on the bedside table. Resident 51's
medical record indicated she had a history of
congestive heart failure (a condition in which
the heart doesn't pump blood as effectively as
it should and fluids may build up in the body.)
During a record review on 6/26/18 at 9:45 a.m.,
Resident 51's medical record indicated she was
placed on a fluid intake restriction of 1500 mL
(milliliters) in 24 hours per physician orders

During a review of Resident 51's care plan on
6/27/18 at 4:00 p.m., it was lacking a plan of
care with goals and interventions for fluid
restrictions.
During a concurrent interview and record
review on 06/28/18 09:30 a.m., the DON was
asked to locate Resident 51's care plan specific
to the order, interventions and goals of the
resident's fluid restrictions of 1500 mL in 24
hours. The DON was unable to locate the care
plan. When the DON asked Licensed Staff T
where Resident 51's care plan for fluid
restrictions was located, Licensed Staff T
stated it was under the nutritional section,
however, when Licensed Staff T reviewed the
care plan, she also was unable to locate a plan
of care for fluid restrictions. Licensed Staff T
stated, "I can't find it." Then Licensed Staff U,
an MDS (minimum data set - an

coordinator, also reviewed Resident 51's
medical record but no care plan was located
specific to Resident 51's fluid restrictions.

§483.45(b)(3) Determines that drug records are
in order and that an account of all controlled
drugs is maintained and periodically reconciled.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observations, interviews and record
review, the facility failed to accurately
transcribe admission orders for one out of three
sampled residents (Resident 66). This failure
resulted in the administration of the wrong
medication for thirty days to Resident 66.
Findings:
During a med pass observation on 6/26/18 at
8:46 a.m., Licensed Staff L was observed
administering one tab of Multivitamin with
Minerals to Resident 66. During record review
on 6/26/18 at 11:13 a.m., it was noted that
Resident 66 had been transferred to the facility
on 5/27/18, from an acute care facility. The
After Visit Summary's medication orders from
the acute care facility had been transferred to
the nursing facility as admission orders
.
The acute care facility's After Visit Summary
dated 5/27/18 at 2:40 p.m., included the
following order, "Administer one tab of
multivitamins daily." Licensed Staff M
transcribed Resident 66's orders from the acute
care facility's After Visit Summary to the
facility's medication administration record
(MAR). She transcribed the order, "Administer
one tab of multivitamins daily" as follows,
"Multiple Vitamins-Minerals Tablet, give 1 tablet
by mouth one time a day for Supplement."
There was no indication that the admitting
physician had discontinued the acute care
facility's multivitamin order and changed it to
multivitamin with minerals.

During an interview on 6/28/18 at 2:19 a.m.,
Licensed Staff N, confirmed that there was no
evidence suggesting that the facility's admitting
physician discontinued the multivitamins from
the outside acute care facility and ordered
multivitamin with minerals instead.
This transcription error led to the wrong
administration of 1 tab of multivitamin with
minerals for thirty days to Resident 66 (From
5/28/18 to 6/26/18). In addition, all the
medication admission orders had not been
signed by the admitting physician since
admission on 5/27/18.
During an interview on 6/26/18 at 11:26 a.m.,
Administrative Staff O stated that physicians
were in the facility Monday through Friday. The
physicians had the opportunity to sign the
admission orders promptly. Administrative
Staff O stated she did not know where the
order for multivitamin with minerals came from.
Administrative Staff O confirmed that there was
no evidence that one of the facility's physician
ordered multivitamin with minerals.
The facility's procedure titled, "Health
Information/Record Manual" revised on
9/18/2012 indicated, "Physician's orders will be
entered on admission by the licensed nursing
personnel or in some cases by other support
staff trained in the regulations and
requirements for physician's orders. The
licensed nurse must "approve, review, and note
the order as stated above." This same facility's
procedure also indicated, "Physicians will
review the either new orders and/or Monthly
Renewal of orders for justification/diagnosis,
clinical appropriateness, ordered dosage, time,
amount and sign the Monthly Order renewal
timely to meet the regulatory requirements."

§483.60(a) Staffing
The facility must employ sufficient staff with the
appropriate competencies and skills sets to
carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service, taking into consideration resident
assessments, individual plans of care and the
number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's
resident population in accordance with the
facility assessment required at §483.70(e).
§483.60(a)(3) Support staff.
The facility must provide sufficient support
personnel to safely and effectively carry out the
functions of the food and nutrition service.
§483.60(b) A member of the Food and Nutrition
Services staff must participate on the
interdisciplinary team as required in §
483.21(b)(2)(ii).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on dietary staff interview and dietary
document review, the facility failed to ensure
the Registered Dietitian (R.D.), the position
designated to manage the day to day
operations of the dietary services, supported
dietary personnel competency as evidenced by
lack of effective oversight to ensure safe food
handling and standards of practice in respect to
the cool down process for potentially
hazardous foods. Cook V was unable to
describe the cool down process for potentially
hazardous foods. This failure had the potential
to spread foodborne illness when potentially
hazardous foods were not cooled using the
standard cool-down process.
Findings:
During an observation and concurrent interview
on 6/26/18 at 12 noon, Cook V was chopping

asparagus into bite size pieces and placing in a
pot of water. Cook V stated he was preparing
asparagus salad for the next day's lunch menu.
When asked what he was going to do with the
asparagus pieces, Cook V stated, "I have to
boil them."
During an interview on 6/26/18 at 12:05, Cook
V was asked to describe the cool down process
for potentially hazardous foods. Cook V asked,
"What kind of food?" and was given an
example of baked chicken. Cook V stated
cooked chicken should reach 140°F (degrees
Fahrenheit) in two hours. Cook V then
corrected himself and stated, "Well, it's still
cooking at 140°F." When asked if there was a
chart posted to follow directions for the cool
down process, Cook V stated, "No, there isn't."
When asked again what temperature cooked
meat should reach after two hours, Cook V
stated, "Maybe about 60°F." When asked what
were a couple of ways to cool down food
quicker, Cook V stated, "An ice bath," however
he was not able to describe other methods of
cooling down cooked meat.
Cooked foods must be cooled from 140°F to
70°F within 2 hours and to below 41°F within in
an additional 4 hours, for a period of time not to
exceed a total of 6 hours. (2013 FDA Food
Code)
During an interview on 6/26/18 at 12:20 p.m.
the RD (Registered Dietitian/Kitchen
Supervisor) stated the facility "never uses
leftovers" and they "do not use a cool down
method ever" because when a roast or other
cooked meat is on the menu dietary staff cook
and serve it on the same day. The RD stated, "I
wouldn't have expected [Cook V] to know [the
cool down procedure] because we don't use
leftovers ... We cook and use the food the
same day."

During an interview on 06/26/18 3:48 p.m.,
when asked, "What did you do with the
asparagus you were preparing earlier?" Cook V
replied, "I boiled it." When asked, "Where is it
now?" Cook V replied, "In the refrigerator."
When asked, "Did you have to cool that down?"
Cook V replied "Yes, I ran it under cold water a
few times until cool then mixed it with the
(salad) dressing." When asked if he recorded a
temperature of the asparagus before placing in
the refrigerator, Cook V replied, "No, because
[the RD] said we don't use leftovers." When
asked what the PHF (potentially hazardous
food) temperature zone is, Cook V stated
between 40-140°F.
During an interview and concurrent document
review on 6/26/18 at 4:05 p.m., the RD stated
she realized the staff should be taught about
the cool down process "especially like the
asparagus." The RD stated a temperature log
would be needed. During a review of in-service
records for 2017 to 2018 no education was
found for the cool down process of potentially
hazardous foods.
On 6/28/18 at 11:21 a.m., the RD stated she
thought about cool down log and stated, "We
do have a cool down process, but rarely use it."
The RD then provided an old 2008 log with
directions printed at the top and another 2017
log used by a former Dietary Service
Supervisor. The RD stated she was going to
make up a new log. The RD stated she
reviewed the cool down process with Cook V

Based on interviews and record review, the
facility failed to maintain accurate medical
records for two out of four sampled residents
(Resident 51 and Resident 72). This failure had
the potential for overmedication, and inaccurate
medication reconciliation of controlled
substances for Resident 51 and Resident 72.
Findings:
During record review on 6/26/18 at 3:40 p.m.,
the controlled substances log book/narcotic log
indicated Licensed Staff Q signed out the
controlled pain medication, hydrocodone
acetaminophen 5-325 2 tabs for Resident 51
on 6/15/18 but not entered into her Medication
Administration Record (MAR) as administered,
on 6/15/18. During an interview with the DON
on 6/26/18 at 3:47 p.m., the DON verified that
this medication had not been documented in
the MAR. The DON stated that she did not
know what happened and she would look into
it, but presumed the nurse forgot to enter it into
the MAR.
During record review on 6/26/18 at 3:45 p.m.,
the narcotic log book indicated Licensed Staff
Q signed out the medication hydrocodone
acetaminophen 5-325 mg (milligram) two tabs
for Resident 72 on 6/9/18 and 6/10/18 at 12:00
a.m., but was not documented in Resident 72's

(Resident 41, 43, 51 63, and 66) when:
1. One unlicensed staff did not perform
handwashing after providing care to Resident
41, who was on contact isolation for
Clostridium difficile, prior to entering another
resident's room, which had the potential for
spreading diseases;
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a bacteria that
causes inflammation of the colon. The bacteria
are found in the feces. People can become
infected if they touch items or surfaces that are
contaminated with feces and then touch their
mouth or mucous membranes. Healthcare
workers can spread the bacteria to patients or
contaminate surfaces through hand contact.
2. Staff members did not perform hand hygiene
prior to serving lunch trays, in-between
preparing and serving lunch trays to residents,
or touching food with bare hands for Resident
43, 51, and 63, which had the potential to
cause foodborne illness and spread the
infections among residents; and
3. The Nurse did not swab medication vial prior
to withdrawing medication for Resident 66,
which had the potential for cross contamination
and cause an infection to Resident 66.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 6/25/18, at 10:03
a.m., there was a cart outside Resident 41's
room, containing hand sanitizer, gloves, gowns,

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility
failed to maintain a clean, sanitary interior to
the south station utility room when the linoleum
flooring under the ice machine was buckled
and in disrepair with black, brown, and
yellowish-colored grime and stains. The splash
guard surrounding the air gap/drain (the
unobstructed vertical space between the water
outlet and the flood level of a fixture or the

potential for staff to track dirt, debris, and
germs into resident care areas and cause
infections.

the linoleum floor beneath the ice machine was
worn and stained. Administrative R stated,
"That's probably old water damage," however,
he had "not experienced any leaks" with this
ice machine since he was hired. Administrative
Staff R stated, "It (the floor) was like that when
I came on two years ago." When asked who
cleaned the floor under the ice machine,
Administrative Staff R stated the housekeeping
staff did that task.
