Based on observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide residents their meal trays
with others seated at the same table. This applies to 6 of 9 residents (R25, R62, R116, R153, R161, and
R165) observed for dining in the sample of 35. The findings include: On September 8, 2025, at 12:09 PM
during lunch meal observation on the first floor, 1 (one) North dining room, several residents were noted
eating their meal when others on the same table had not received their meal tray. R160 was fed by V9 CNA
(Certified Nursing Assistant) and had almost finished her meal, whereas R161 and R25 who were seated
at the same table and had not received their meal trays. On a separate table in the same dining room, R68
was eating her lunch and R165 and R116 who were seated at the same table were looking on. On inquiry
why R25, R116, R161, and R165 did not get their trays at the same time as other residents on the same
table, V10 (Certified Nursing Restorative Aide) stated that these residents' trays are on the second cart,
and it has not yet arrived. On September 8, 2025, at 12:29 PM, on another table, R90 was fed by V11
(CNA). R153 and R62 who were seated at the same table were looking at R90 being fed. When asked if
she had finished eating, R62 stated that she has not received her tray. On September 8, 2025, at 12:32 PM,
when R68 received her tray from the second cart, R90 had finished his meal. On September 10, 2025, at
10:51 AM, V12 (Food Service Manager) stated that the first cart should be delivered to the 1 North unit at
11:25 AM and the second cart delivered at 11:57 AM. V12 stated that the kitchen sends the second cart
later so that the residents eating at the second seating can get hot food. V12 stated that the nursing
communicates with the dietary via email on which residents to put in the first cart so that the residents can
eat together. On September 10, 2025, at 11:59 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that her expectation is
that the residents seated at the same table should be served together. V2 added that this is because How
would you feel if the other person is eating when you are not. V2 stated that the nursing staff has to
coordinate with V12 to change the meal trays that are placed in the first cart. Facility policy titled Tray
Delivery Schedule (revised May 2025) included-Purpose: To communicate a tray delivery schedule aiding
interdepartmental planning. Procedure: 1 North 11:25 [AM], 11:57 [AM]. Facility Census Roster showed that

On September 10, 2025, at 1:40 PM, V16 (RN, Registered Nurse) V16 was preparing medications in the
medication room. V16 proceeded to pull out a medication cup and placed it on the top of the medication
cart. V16 then opened a drawer pulled a package of medication for a resident and poured the medication
into a medication cup and wrote R165's last name on the cup. V16 threw the package in the garbage. V16
opened another drawer pulled out another package of medication opened it, poured it into another
medication cup and wrote R177's name on the outside. She then threw the package in the garbage. V16
went to another drawer for a different resident and pulled out the medication package and poured the
contents in the medication cup into a different cup writing R195's last name on the cup discarding the
package in the garbage. V16 took all three cups and placed them in an empty drawer and put them to the
side. V16 was asked the names of the residents and what medications were poured in the medication cups.
R165 was administered Depakote 125mg tab, order to be given one time a day. R177 was administered
Magnesium Oxide 400mg tablet, order to be given one time a day. R195 was administered baclofen 10mg
tablet, Carbidopa Levodopa 25-100mg tablet, and Gabapentin capsule 300mg, order to be given three
times day.

pass was that the nurse takes the medication cart to the resident's room, the nurse is to check the EMAR
(Electronic Medication Administration Record), pull the medications out of the drawer, check the five rights
of medication administration, check any parameters (ex. blood pressure, pulse) and give the medication. V2
said she does not recommend the nurses prepare multiple resident's medications at the same time
because there be some confusion. V2 said the nurses are not to pre-pour the medications.
The facility provided their policy titled Medication Administration with a revision date July 2024, showed
Preparation of medication.2. Tablets/capsules a) Tear open individual packets and place directly into souffle
cup at time of administration. Pre-pouring is a practice that puts patient at risk for med error that may cause
actual harm. Pre-pouring is not allowed.

table and at 12:40 PM began feeding resident a pureed diet. R212 had to constantly tell R173 to wake up,
open eyes, and swallow. Spoons of food put in resident's mouth were just sitting in R173 mouth as R173
stopped swallowing and working food through her mouth. Food streamed out of resident's mouth at these
times and resident pocketed food. V19 kept telling resident to wake up, swallow, and to open her mouth. At
times R173 head slumps to the side and V19 tells R173 to wake up and rubs R173. R173's eyes were
closed, and she did not speak during the feeding. V19 stated R173 is always sleepy, but sometimes she is
alert. On September 9, 2025, at 12:35, V22 (Certified Nursing Rehab Assistant) was feeding R173. On

opens her eyes. V8 stated when feeding R173 the resident should stay alert. V8 stated food can remain in
R173's mouth and there is a risk of aspiration if she is fed while not awake and alert. V8 stated Purple
Swallow is a program the facility has implemented to identify those residents who are a high aspiration risk
and R173 is on the Purple Swallow program. On September 10, 2025, at 9:30 AM V7, (Medical Director)
stated he was not aware resident was sleeping a lot. V7 stated the staff told him that R173 is a quiet
person. V7 stated it is basic nursing care knowledge not to feed someone who is sleeping for risk of
aspiration. On September 10, 2025, at 2:50 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that staff should not feed
R173 if she is sleeping. R173's diet meal tickets alert staff that she is on the Purple Swallow program.

showed Nutrition High Risk Note: [R14] had an August weight completed, a re-weigh was requested, no
re-weigh available at this time. Using her recorded August weight of 154.9 pounds, this is noted to be a
9.9% weight loss in one month, a 9.9% weight loss in three months, and a 9.9% weight loss in 6 months;
prior to the August recorded weight, her weight had been stable from January to July. Will add super cereal
to breakfast, super potatoes to lunch, and super pudding to dinner daily for additional calorie intakes. Will
review with September weight. She continues on the pureed diet texture for impaired swallowing and
chewing abilities, continues with no straws. She is now fed by staff during meals.On September 10, 2025, at
10:42 AM, V14 said a resident's monthly weight should be obtained by the fifth of the month. V14 said if a
resident's monthly weight showed a significant weight loss, then V14 asks for a reweight to be obtained for
the resident. V14 said she requested R14 be reweighed when R14's August weight showed a significant
weight loss. V14 said she did not get a reweigh for R14 so on August 27, 2025, V14 implemented fortified
foods as a nutritional intervention for R14's weight loss. V14 said she notified V24 (Registered Dietician)
about R14's significant weight loss this week when V24 returned after being off of work from August 26,
2025, until September 8, 2025.On September 10, 2025, at 1:28 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said if a
resident's monthly weight shows a significant weight loss, then the resident should be reweighed. V2 said
R14's EMR showed R14 was reweighed on August 2, 2025, and the reweigh showed R14's significant
weight loss was an accurate weight. V2 said interventions to prevent R14 from experiencing further weight
loss should have been implemented sooner than 25 days after the reweigh was obtained.The facility's

interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a resident with a pneumococcal vaccine.This
applies to 1 of 5 residents (R34) reviewed for immunizations in the sample of 35. The findings include:The
EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R34 was a [AGE] year-old resident admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with multiple diagnoses including dementia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and
ventricular tachycardia.R34's Pneumococcal Vaccine Consent/Declination Form showed on June 23, 2025,
R34's POA (Power of Attorney) consented for R34 to receive the pneumococcal vaccine.R34's
Immunization Report dated September 10, 2025, showed R34 did not receive the pneumococcal vaccine
until September 9, 2025.On September 10, 2025, at 1:17 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said R34
received the vaccine on September 9, 2025, after V5 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) started
compiling the requested vaccination information, V5 saw R34 did not receive the pneumococcal vaccine so
the facility administered the vaccine at that time. V2 said R34 should have received the vaccine sooner
since the consent was obtained in June 2025.The facility's policy titled Pneumococcal Immunization
Program reviewed July 2025, showed Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the
initial administration, series updating, monitoring, documentation, data collection and analysis of
