The flooring had a orange-red stain. It was noted there were seven floor tiles in the nurse's station had separation at the tile seam and long black streak down the side of the tiles. The PS confirmed the findings and stated the black marks were caused by the buffer (machine used to polish tile floor).

This has the potential to result in a physical restraint. Findings: During an observation on 10/10/17, at 12 PM, in the C-wing Dementia Unit, Resident 21 was observed walking in the hallway with a merry walker. Two iron dumbbells were attached with multiple zip ties and duct taped on both sides of the lower portion of the merry walker in between the front and back wheels. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 21, the current Physicians Order indicated "Mobility status: May use a merry walker for locomotion with nursing supervision.

During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 7, on 10/10/17, at 12:11 PM, she stated the merry walker was used to help Resident 21 walk. CNA 7 stated the dumbbells tied to the merry walker weighed a total of 20 pounds (10 pounds each side). CNA 7 stated, "She was walking too fast, so they put [on] the weights to slow her down." During an interview with License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, on 10/10/17, at 11:44 AM, she stated the two 10 pound weights had been added to the merry walker many years ago by facility maintenance.

During an interview and concurrent record review with the MDSC, on 10/12/17, at 11:43 AM, she confirmed Resident 8 had a fracture and the MDS did not indicate Resident 8 had a major injury. She also confirmed the facility followed the RAI MDS manual for coding. During an interview with the MDSC, on 10/12/17, at 12:22 PM, she stated the fracture was not coded as a major injury because it was determined the fracture was an old healing sub acute fracture. She also stated minor injury was coded due to the complaints of pain to the elbow from Resident 8. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 10/12/17, at 2:09 PM, she stated the "fracture was not known prior to x-ray obtained" and "considered it an old fracture." She also stated Resident 8 did not have pain prior to the fall and that is why minor injury was coded. The CMS's RAI titled "Section J Health Conditions" dated 4/12, indicated "Determine the number of falls that occurred since admission/entry or reentry or prior assessment...and code the level of fall-related injury for each. Code each fall only once. If the resident has multiple injuries in a single fall, code the fall for the highest level of injury." It also indicated the definition of an injury related to a fall is a "documented injury that occurred as a result of, or was recognized within a short period of time (e.g., hours to a few days) after the fall and attributed to the fall."

CNA 2 stated Resident 15 had only eaten 50 percent of her breakfast, "I don't know why she refuses her food now." During a review of the clinical record for Resident 15, Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool), dated 9/18/17, indicated Resident 15 had a diagnosis of dementia (disease that affects memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning), was cognitively severely impaired, never/rarely made decisions, and had short-term and long-term memory problems. The Nurses Notes, dated 10/6/17, at 6:49 PM, was reviewed. It indicated Resident 15 had a witnessed fall at 6:40 PM.

Resident 15 sustained a skin tear to her right hand and was placed on a 72 hour monitoring (observing and checking any change in medical/mental condition and level of care) after the fall on 10/6/17. The clinical records indicated Resident 15 had no complaints of pain, but her behaviors of crying, yelling out, and restlessness prompted the staff to administer Ativan (anti-anxiety medication) for three consecutive days (10/7/17, 10/8/17, and 10/9/17).

The diet ordered by the physician to provide additional calories to two of 18 sampled residents (8 and 10), which had the potential to contribute to their weight loss. Findings: 1. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 8, the "Order Summary Report," dated 9/22/17, at 3:06 PM, indicated Resident 8 had a diagnosis of "dysphagia [difficulty in swallowing]" and had an order for a mechanical soft diet with ground meat texture for the FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: MLCW11 Facility ID: CA040000032 If continuation sheet 26 of 63 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.
