Level of Harm - Minimal harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their Call Light policy. The facility failed
to place the call light within reach for one resident (R40) of three residents reviewed for call light
accessibility in a total sample of 55 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 4/8/25 at 1040AM observed R40 in bed, watching television. Mouth piece/puffer call light not within
reach. Head of bed elevated and the puffer call light was above the head of bed, above her head and on
right side facing the door area. R40 stated she cannot reach the call light because it is not close to her
mouth. R40 unable to reach the call light, noted to have limited range of motion on her right arm.
On 4/8/25 at 1043AM, confirmed with V5 (CNA). V5 Stated that staff usually placed R40's call light closer to
her mouth. R40 is not able to reach and use her call light at this moment because of its placement. I will
reposition her and place the puffer call light closer to R40.
R40's Joint Mobility assessment dated [DATE], reads in part: Right shoulder with severe joint limitation with
0-25% available ROM (Range of Motion), right elbow with moderate to severe limitation with 25 to 50%
available ROM, and right wrist with severe joint limitation with 0-25% ROM.
On 4/9/25 at 11:30AM, V6 (Restorative Nurse) stated that R40 has a limited range of motion on her right
arm, needs staff assistance for right arm range of motion. R40 would not able to use her call light if the call
light is not position within her reach and by her mouth. Due to poor right arm range of motion R40 will not
be able to reach the call light with her hand to place it closer to her mouth. Staff needs to make sure it is
closer to R40's mouth so R40 could utilize the call light.
Call light policy with a revision date of 6/21, reads in part: Functioning call light placed to where it is
accessible to the resident.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure low air loss mattress devices
were on the correct weights setting for residents who are at risk in developing pressure ulcers. This failure
has the potential to affect four (R28, R92, R116 and R168) out of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcer
care in a final sample of 55 residents.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
On 4/8/25 at 10:45AM, observed R92 in bed, on low air loss mattress set to normal pressure below 80.
Setting confirmed with V4 (LPN).
Record reviewed R92 weight record dated 3/10/25 is 105.6 lbs.
On 4/8/25 at 10:47AM, observed R116 in bed, on low air loss mattress set to normal pressure between 210
to 250. Setting confirmed with V4 (LPN).
Record reviewed R116 weight record dated 3/10/25 is 113.9 lbs.
On 4/8/25 at 10:50AM, observed R28 in bed, on low air loss mattress is power off. Mattress deflated.
Confirmed with V4 (LPN) that the low air loss mattress is deflated. V4 checked and tried to turn on,
observed it is unplugged. V4 plugged the low air loss mattress and turned the power on. Low pressure light
on and blinking. Per V4 it would take a while for the inflation.
Setting placed between 120 to150. R28's recorded weight on 3/10 25 is 139.6 lbs.
On 4/9/25 at 9:48AM, observed R92 in bed and in low air loss mattress set on normal pressure between
150 to 180. Setting confirmed with V4 (LPN). Record reviewed R92 weight record dated 3/10/25 is 105.6
lbs.
On 4/9/25 at 10AM, observed R168 in bed, on low air loss mattress setting between 250 to 280. Setting
confirmed with V4 (LPN). Recorded weight on 3/10/25 is at 247.8 lbs.
On 4/10/25 at 9:57AM, V11 (Wound nurse) stated that they place residents in low air loss mattress because
they are either with pressure ulcer or at risk for pressure ulcer injury, especially those who are high risk.
Stated that R92 has no active wound but assessed as High Risk. R168 has no active wounds, and also
assessed as high risk. R116 has no active pressure wound and assesses as high risk. That R116 has
vascular wounds in lower extremities and on hospice. R28 has no active wound and assessed to be at high
risk,
V11 stated that the setting is set based on residents weights. And if there are changes in resident's weight,
then the staff need to adjust the setting. I check and the other staff checks the setting and if the bed is in
working order. If the low air loss mattress is not on and deflated, then the preventative measure would not
be working.
R92's Braden scale for predicting pressure sore risk dated 3/1/25 is 11 (High Risk). Care plan for potential
skin breakdown/pressure ulcer with interventions of may use low air loss mattress for pressure reduction.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to effectively supervise one resident on a
thickened liquid diet from drinking a cup of thin liquids from another resident's meal tray for a resident
assessed with mild to moderate risk for aspiration. This failure affected one resident (91) out of three
reviewed for mechanically altered diets in a sample of 55.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to present a smoking policy that
included the safe use and how the facility would supervise residents using electronic smoking materials and
failed to complete quarterly smoking assessments. This affected four of four residents (R111, R61, R8, and
R161) reviewed for smoking safety and supervision.
Findings include:
On 4/8/25 at 12:05 PM, staff was observed pouring thin liquid juice container, 120ml (milliliters) into a cup
for R165 and placing the cup on her tray.
04/08/25 at 12:05 PM R91 was observed taking a cup filled with thin liquids off another resident's tray and
drink from it. Resident consumed 100% of the liquid in this cup. At 12:15 PM, R91 was given her lunch tray,
pureed diet with nectar thick liquids.
On 4/10/25 at 10:00 AM, V12 NP (nurse practitioner) stated that mechanically altered diets are ordered for
a reason. When informed that R91 drank a cupful of thin liquids, V12 responded that V12 didn't think R91
was able to feed or drink by herself.
On 4/10/25 at 1:20 PM, 17 CNA (certified nurse aide) stated that R91 will reach for cups that are close by
R91 and drink from cup.
On 4/10/25 at 1:35 PM, V16 LPN (licensed practical nurse) stated that R91 has a behavior of reaching for
cups nearby and drinking from the cups.
R91's modified barium swallow study, dated 11/5/2020, notes R91 presented with a mild-moderate
oropharyngeal phase dysphagia. Reduced safety with thin liquids due to premature spillage, impulsive sips,
and delayed pharyngeal swallow response resulting in silent aspiration in slight amounts with thin liquids at
the onset of the swallow and frequent deep penetration to the vocal folds with accumulating residue.
Aspiration also noted after the swallow due to mild-moderate to moderate levels of thin residue spilling into
the trachea after the swallow without sensation or ability to elicit a cough. No airway invasion noted with
puree or mildly thickened liquids (nectar thick liquids).
This facility's supervision of resident nutrition policy, dated 05/2017, notes nursing personnel are
responsible for assuring that residents are served the correct dietary tray.
R111 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of type II diabetes, hemiplegia affecting left
side, major depressive disorder and peripheral vascular disease. R111's brief interview for mental status
dated 2/22/25 documents a score of 14/15 which indicates cognitively intact.
On 4/8/25 at 10:14AM, R111 was observed with smoking material in his room. R111 said he is a smoker
