Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to determine self-administration of
medication was appropriate for 1 (R22) out of 12 residents reviewed for medication administration but
allowed the resident to self-administer topical medication.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 04/02/24 at 11:54 AM, V7 (Registered Nurse/RN) was observed during medication administration.
(Brand name for pain relief cream) was ordered to be applied to R22's right knee. V7 accessed (Brand
name for pain relief cream), put the cream in a medicine cup, handed the medicine cup to R22, exited the
room, and documented the medication administration in the resident's electronic health record. V7 did not
assess the right knee, apply the cream, or observe R22 applying the cream.
On 04/03/24 at 09:50 AM, interviewed V7 (RN) who stated that R22 self-applies (Brand name for pain relief
cream). V7 stated that R22 is alert and able to put it on himself. V7 stated that it is a stock drug and not a
controlled substance. When V7 was asked if an order is needed for R22 to self-administer medication, V7
stated Normally, we are supposed to get an order for the resident to self-administer medicine. V7 and
surveyor reviewed the medical record. V7 stated that R22 did not have an order to self-administer
prescribed cream or medications.
On 04/04/24 09:51 AM during interview, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that for topical medication
administration, the nurse is expected to complete hand hygiene, check the order, prepare the medication,
put the cream in a medicine cup so that the nurse does not bring the tube into a resident's room, assess
the area where the topical medication is to be applied, and then apply the medicine to the affected area as
ordered. V2 stated that if the resident has an order for self-administration, the nurse makes sure that the
resident applies the cream as ordered. V2 further stated that the nurse does not sign off on the medication
in the electronic health record until the nurse sees the topical cream applied.
On 4/4/2024 at 11 AM, R22's electronic health record (EHR) was reviewed. No physician order for
medication self-administration was found and no Medication Self-Administration Evaluation Form was
found.
On 4/4/2024 at 11:30 AM, request was made to V4 (Assistant Administrator) for documentation of
medication self-administration assessment for R22. No documentation was provided.
On 4/5/2024 at 7 AM, R22's medication orders were again reviewed and now included a discontinuation of
Diclofenac Sodium Gel and (Brand name anorectal cream) and the initiation of an order to may
self-administer for both medications on 4/4/2024. The order for self-administration of (Brand name

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a timely person-centered care plan
until after a resident experienced a forty-five-pound weight loss in less than 3 months from the date of
admission. This failure affected 1 (R20) out of 4 residents who were reviewed for nutrition in the final
sample of 19 residents.
Findings include:
During interview with R20 on 04/02/24 at 10:48 AM, R20 stated that the food is good. On 4/3/2024 at 12:36
PM, R20 stated that R20 knows that R20 has lost weight. R20 stated that R20 is happy with the weight loss
but wants to gain some of the weight back.
During review of record, on 4/3/2024 at 10 AM, R20 was admitted on [DATE]. R20's Minimum Data Set
(MDS) dated [DATE] showed it was completed on 2/1/24. R20's weights were documented as: 1/18/2024 280 pounds, 2/7/2024 - 274 pounds, 3/9/2024 - 235 pounds.
Dietary assessment dated [DATE] was reviewed on 4/3/2024 at 11 AM. The summary stated that the goal
for R20 was weight maintenance or gradual weight loss.
Dietary Care Plan was not initiated and entered by V14 (Registered Dietician) until 3/30/2024. It was
reviewed on 4/3/2024 at 2 PM and stated that R20 has a nutritional problem related to overweight. R20
triggered for significant weight loss at one month which was unintentional and likely related to R20's eating
habits being better than when he was living out in the community. The goal was for R20 to maintain body
weight within ideal body weight range through the next review date. Interventions included encouraging R20
to follow health eating behaviors, preparing, and serving the prescribed diet as ordered, and weight to be
obtained as ordered by physician.
During interview with V17 (Care Plan Coordinator) on 4/3/2024 3:00 PM, V17 stated that for new
admissions, a care plan is completed within 72 hours. At a minimum, the care plan should include Nursing,
Social Services, Restorative, Dietary and Skin. V17 stated that the care plan is updated quarterly, annually
and if there is a significant change in condition. V17 described a significant change in condition as a decline
in resident function, weight change, decline in eating, or fall. If there is a significant change in condition, the
care plan should be updated with interventions. V17 stated, If today we observe something, we must add to
the care plan interventions.
During interview with V2 (Director of Nursing) on 04/04/24 9:31 AM, V2 stated that at a minimum, the
admission care plan should include Nursing, Social Services, Dietary, Restorative and Skin. V2 stated that if
there is a significant change in a resident's condition, it should be care planned. Significant change in
condition would include weight change, eating problems or ADLs. If there was a significant change in
condition, the issue would be raised by the Nurse, Physical Therapy or Social Services. V2 stated, We also
meet every morning to discuss care plans. V2 reviewed the care plan for R20. V2 confirmed that R20 had
no care plan or dietary assessment from 1/19/2024 until 3/30/2024. When asked if a 45-pound weight loss
in less than 3 months would raise concern as a significant change in condition, V2 stated yes. V2 stated
that they changed dieticians. V14 (Registered Dietician) started 2 weeks ago. V2 stated, The previous
dietician should have caught that. V2 stated that the facility has one person doing the weights so they
should raise a concern about weight change and give that

spinach, 4ounces of buttered egg noodles, one dinner roll, half cup of apple crisp, eight ounce of whole
milk, six ounces of red sugar free punch. R66 ate 2 bites of fish and one fork full of his spinach. R66 stated,
I don't really have an appetite. I try to eat as much as I can and my clothes are getting big on me, I wonder
how much I weigh. I have not been weighed in a few months. Most of the time the food is too salty and
greasy, I have not tried or wanted to lose weight, I just don't like how the food is made and I am not hungry.
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/2/24 at 12:10 PM, Surveyor accompanied V12 (CNA) and R66 in his wheelchair down to the ground
level therapy gym to be weighed. V13 (Restorative Aide) turned on the wheelchair scale and zero out the
scale. V13 then pushed R66 while sitting in wheelchair without any leg rest, onto the scale and secured the
wheelchair. Surveyor, V12 and V13 witnessed the total of the wheelchair and R66 was 189.0 pounds. V12
and V13 took R66 back to his bed and brought the empty wheelchair to the therapy gym. Surveyor and V13
witnessed the empty wheelchair weighed 42.0 pounds. V13 stated, R66 weight is 147.0 pounds. I assist
with monthly weights. I am not sure how R66 lost 13 pounds in one month, on 3/9/24 R66 weighed 160.0
pounds.
On 4/3/24 at 12:05 PM, V14 stated, I only been working for this facility for two weeks. I have been a
registered dietician for five years. Today was my first day working with R66. He said to me that he was
purposely trying to lose weight. I spoke to several certified nurse assistants confirmed that R66 has been
cutting back on his intake purposely to adhere to his doctor's orders. A weight loss trend for significant
weight loss is 5% or more in one month, 7.5% in three months, or 10% or more in six months. R66 weighed
160 pounds on 3/9/24 and on 4/2/24 he weighed 142pounds. R66's clinical record showed, 1 month 3/9/24 - 160(8.1%), 3 months - 1/12/24 - 163(9.8%), and 6 months - 10/26/23 - 171(14.0%). Significant
weight loss was noted at 1, 3, and 6 months. If a resident weight is trending down, I would recommend
supplements, sandwich, snacks, or double portions to increase calories. I can enter the recommendation in
the facility physician order system as a pending order. The floor nurse would call and give my
recommendations to the physician for approval, once the physician approves my recommendation, then the
nurse would confirm the recommendation that will become a standing order. Once approved, then I would
email the dietary manager my recommendations. My recommendations should be followed out and printed
on the resident's diet slip for the next meal. If the physician denied my recommendation, there would be a
progress note to reflect the physician's decision. After reviewing the former dietitian assessment notes,
double portions were recommended on 11/15/23, I placed in the order for double portions today. R66 was
eating well according to his meal intake documentation 76-100% of his meals. If the facility followed the
recommendation of double portions dated 11/15/23, it could have potentially slowed down or prevented
R66's weight loss, but there is other illness that can also cause weight loss.
Surveyor gave V14 R66's physician orders, dietary slip, March 2024, and April 2023 meal intake
documentation to review. V14 stated, I do not see any physician order that document for R66 to eat less or
to lose weight. I do not see any physician order or diet order that has double portions for R66. Looking at
R66 dietary slip dated 4/2/24 and labeled Tuesday Lunch does not reflect R66 to receive double portions.
R66's meal intakes from March to present, the majority document that R66 ate 76 to 100% of his meals.
After I reviewed R66's progress notes, he did not have any illness documented that would account for a
thirteen-pound weight loss in one month. I am not sure where the weight loss in the last thirty days came
from.
On 4/4/24 at 11:26 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, A few years ago the facility gave the dieticians
access to our system to place in their own recommendations. The floor nurse will open the resident's chart
and see there is an order pending, the nurse confirms order with physician then on the

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prepare and serve mechanical soft
food at the appropriate texture. This failure affected 8 (R8, R12, R16, R36, R42, R44, R58, R62) of 12
residents reviewed for mechanical soft diet prepared in the facility's kitchen, in a total sample of 19
residents.
Findings Include:
On 04/03/24 at 11:45 AM, during tray line observations observed V10 (Dietary Aide) calling out for a
mechanical soft/ground diet order. Observed V23 (Cook) give V26 (Cook) slices of pork loin. V26 brought
the slices of pork loin to a cutting board near the stove and began to chop the pork using a knife. V26 stated
I'm helping to cut this food up for the mechanical soft diets. Observed the final chopped pork product to
have no uniformity in size with larger and smaller pieces mixed together and the overall consistency
appeared very dry. V26 placed the chopped pork into a container and gave it to V23.
On 04/03/24 at 11: 50 AM, observed V23 portion chopped pork onto a plate for a resident's meal ticket
which read mechanical soft/ground. No gravy or sauce was served with the chopped pork.
On 04/03/24 at 11:55 AM, V23 stated there is no difference between the mechanical soft/ground diets and
the mechanical soft/chopped diet. V23 stated for both the ground and chopped diet consistencies the cooks
manually chop the meat using a knife and do not put meat through a commercial food processor unless the
meat is very tough.
On 04/03/24 at 12:05 PM, V9 (Culinary Service Manager) stated the mechanical soft/ground should be
prepared using the commercial food processor not chopped with a knife by hand. V9 stated this is because
the chopped consistency is not the same as the mechanical soft/ground. V9 stated the chopped
consistency has bigger pieces than the mechanical soft and if residents on a mechanical soft/ground diet
are given a chopped consistency it could be a choking hazard.
On 04/03/24 at 12:14 PM, V25 (Contracted Regional Director of Operations) stated, they should not be
serving the same consistency to both mechanical soft/ground and chopped. V25 stated chopped is bite
sized pieces and mechanical soft/ground should be run through the commercial food processor to break
down the food.
On 04/04/24 at 11:34 AM, during phone interview V27 (Speech Language Pathologist) stated residents
may need to be on an altered diet consistency if they do not have any teeth, or refuse to wear dentures, or
if they have dysphagia which is a swallowing disorder. V27 stated residents with dysphagia are at Increased
risk for aspiration which is when food/liquid goes into a resident's trachea or airway instead of going down
their esophagus. V27 stated the kitchen should be following the specific diet order. V27 stated meat tends to
be dry and therefore V27 recommends that the meat be served with a gravy because having an extra
sauce or gravy softens the meat further to ensure safety and to make it easier to chew.

Residents Affected - Some
Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and
requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to
eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure there are no more than 14
hours between the evening meal and breakfast the following day and failed to serve a substantial or
nourishing snack at bedtime to residents who are not provided with an individualized evening snack. This
deficient food service practice has the potential to affect 64 residents in a total sample size of 94 residents
receiving an oral diet from the facilities kitchen.
Findings include:
On 04/02/24 after initial kitchen tour and tray line observation, V9 (Culinary Service Manager) provided
mealtime schedule which documents range of mealtimes between 4:45 PM-5:05 PM for dinner and
7:15-7:35 AM for breakfast and that the nursing units are scheduled to be delivered in the same order for
every meal (1st floor, then 2nd floor, and finally 3rd floor). The mealtime schedule documents in part, the
1st floor receives dinner at 4:45 PM and breakfast at 7:15 AM, the 2nd floor receives dinner at 4:55 PM and
breakfast at 7:25 AM, the 3rd floor receives dinner at 5:05 PM and breakfast at 7:35 AM.
On 04/03/24 at 3:40 PM, V9 stated the delivery mealtimes were changed and are now being used as of
04/02/24 because V25 (Contracted Dietary Regional Director of Operations) said the kitchen needed more
time to get the meals out. V9 provided copy of updated meal schedule which documents range of
mealtimes between 4:15 PM - 5:15 PM for dinner and 7:15 AM - 8:05 AM for breakfast and that the nursing
units are scheduled to be delivered in the same order for every meal (1st floor, then 2nd, and finally 3rd
floor). The revised mealtime schedule documents in part, the 1st floor receives dinner between 4:10-4:15
PM and breakfast between 7:15 - 7:25 AM, the 2nd floor receives dinner between 4:20 - 4:45 PM and
breakfast between 7:30 -7:45 AM, the 3rd floor receives dinner between 4:50-5:15 PM and breakfast
between 7:50-8:05 AM.
On 04/02/24 at 10:30 AM, V9 stated not all residents receive an evening snack. V9 pointed to a list posted
which listed residents' names by unit and specific food items to be prepared for them. V9 stated the
residents on that list receive individual labeled evening snacks after the dinner meal because they are
specifically ordered by the resident's doctor or the dietitian. V14 stated that if a resident does not have a
specific order for an evening snack.
On 04/03/24 at 3:43 PM, observed evening snacks for 04/03/24 prepared for 1st/2nd/3rd floor located in
kitchen's walk-in cooler. Each tray contained individually labeled snacks for some residents. Surveyor did
not observe any additional snack items on the trays and per observation there was not enough snacks on
the trays for all the residents on the floor.
On 04/03/24 at 4:18 PM, V9 stated V25 wants the kitchen to start giving snacks out so everyone can get an
evening snack so for the past three weeks the kitchen has been sending up cookies when in stock along
with the individually labeled snacks. V9 stated prior to this the kitchen was only sending snacks to the
residents who were on the list to receive individually labeled snacks. V9 stated because of this change V9
has started to order packaged cookies but said, we don't have any in stock right now.

resident's ask us for more food because they complain about still being hungry. V28 stated V28 tells them to
talk to the dietitian so they can get something more substantial than cookies for snack.
On 04/03/24 at 3:54 PM, viewed the 3rd floor pantry with V28. V28 stated no extra food is stored in the
pantry and the kitchen does not stock the pantry with any items for the residents. V28 stated the refrigerator
is used only for staff food. V28 stated if a resident complains of hunger in the evening the only thing V28
can give them is a cookie if there are any still left over or available.

dinner arrives by 5:00 PM and breakfast is served between 8:00-8:15 AM. V30 stated V30 knows the time
breakfast is served because it arrives as V30 is leaving the unit which is around 8:00 AM.
On 04/03/24 at 4:02 PM, V31 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V31 has been working at the facility for
three years and that V31 works the 3-11 shift on the 2nd floor. V31 stated dinner is served by 5:00 PM and
snacks arrive after dinner. V31 stated some of the resident's receive individually labeled snacks. V31 stated
if a resident does not have an evening snack but wants a snack, the residents can ask the nurse to put in a
request for one. V31 stated once the kitchen closes at 7:00 PM we cannot do anything about it and the
resident just needs to wait. V31 stated no extra food is served on the unit or in the pantry unit.
On 04/03/24 at 4:08 PM, V32 (Registered Nurse) stated the evening snacks arrive on the 1st floor unit

place.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to a.) ensure refrigerated food
items were dated with a use by date, b.) discard expired and/or rotten foods, c.) follow manufacturer
guidelines for storage, d.) keep food storage areas clean, e.) monitor chemical sanitizer concentrations of
dish machine for dishware to be properly sanitized, f.) label and date dry storage items stored in bins, g.)
clean ice machine and monitor for working order. These failures have the potential to affect all 94 residents
receiving food prepared in the facility's kitchen.
Findings include:
On 04/02/24 at 9:15 AM, during initial kitchen tour V9 (Culinary Service Manger) stated refrigerated items
should be labeled with a delivery date, the date the item was opened and the use by date. V9 stated the
use by date varies depending on what the food item is. V9 stated the kitchen follows the guidelines titled
Expiration Dates posted outside the walk-in cooler V9 stated each kitchen employee is responsible for
doing their own labeling and dating after using a product.
On 04/02/24 at 9:25 AM, observed the following items in the walk-in cooler:
1.) Opened 1 gallon container Barbeque Sauce dated with delivery date 03/12/24 and opened date
03/27/24. No use by date was documented on the product. V9 stated the Barbeque Sauce should be
labeled with a use by date so the staff knows when to discard the product. V9 stated this is important so the
product is not used beyond the discard date to cut down on food borne illness. V9 stated upon opening, this
product is good for 30 days so the use by date of this product should have been written on the label as
04/27/24.
2.) Opened 1 gallon container Sweet Pickle Relish dated with delivery date 01/02/24 and opened date
03/24/24. No use by date was documented on product. V9 stated once the product was opened should
have been labeled with a use by date per policy.
3.) Half case of fresh lemons packed on 01/09/24 and delivered 01/23/24 per packing stickers on the side
of the box. No use by date was documented on the product. Observed most of lemons to be very soft and
discolored in light brown and pale gray areas. V9 observed the fresh lemons and stated these should have
been thrown out because they are rotten and have gone bad.
4.) Two cases of (Name brand shakes) labeled with delivery date 01/24/24. V9 stated this product arrives
frozen and is stored in the freezer until it is removed and put into the walk-in cooler so it can be defrosted
for use. V9 stated the product is served to the residents after it has been defrosted. V9 stated he
remembers seeing the cases taken out of the freezer and put into the walk-in cooler to be defroster when
V9 first started working at the facility which was toward the end of February 2024. V9 was not sure how
long the items could be kept in the refrigerator after they had been defrosted.
On 04/02/24 at 9:42 AM, observed the floor in the walk-in cooler underneath the metal shelving along the
perimeter and behind the cases of food to be dirty with layers of grime and food wrappers. V9 observed the
area and stated that area has been neglected, the staff are only cleaning in the middle of the cooler, and
that they do not pull anything out to get behind the metal racks to clean the area properly. V9 stated the
staff should pull everything away from the walls of the cooler to clean

V10 showed surveyor the test strip which was wet but still white. It had not changed any color. V9 stated if
there is no change in color then that means there is no sanitizing solution in the system and the items are
not getting cleaned properly. V9 stated sanitizing solution is needed to disinfect and sanitize the dishes to
keep the germs out. V9 stated the dishes are not fully cleaned until they are sanitized.
On 04/02/24 at 10:07 AM, observed in the dry storage room white sugar in a bin in a closed bag not

multiple residents' rooms that are less than the required square footage per resident and that requires a
variance.
At 11:57 AM, V3 (Maintenance Director) stated that there are 6 residents' rooms in the facility that have
waivers, and they are rooms 107, 108, 207, 208, 307, and 308. V3 stated that all 6 rooms have almost the
same measurements.
At 11:58 AM, there were 3 beds in room [ROOM NUMBER]. V3 measured the room and stated that the
total area is approximately 226 square feet.
At 12:01 PM, there were 3 beds in room [ROOM NUMBER]. V3 measured the room and stated that the
total area is approximately 226 square feet.

resident's room. V1 stated that there are currently 6 residents' rooms that do not meet the requirement and
that there are 3 beds in each of those rooms. V1 state that the facility has not made any changes in the size
of the rooms since the last annual re-certification survey.
The 4/2/24 facility daily roster documented that there are 48 rooms in the facility and rooms 107, 108, 207,
208, and 308 are 3-resident rooms.
