Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
facility shall consider the resident's life style and personal choices identified through the assessment
processes to obtain a picture of his or her individual needs and preferences.
Staff shall carry out activities in a manner which assists the resident to maintain and enhance his/her
self-esteem and self-worth.
Residents Affected - Some
Maintaining a resident's dignity should include but is not limited to the following:
*Encouraging and assisting residents to dress in their own clothes, rather than hospital- type gowns, and
appropriate footwear for the time of day and individual preferences;
*Placing labels on each resident's clothing in a way that is inconspicuous and respects his or her dignity (for
example, placing labeling on the inside of shoes and clothing or using a color coding system);
*Promoting resident independence and dignity while dining, such as avoiding:
*Daily use of disposable cutlery and dishware;
*Bibs or clothing protectors instead of napkins (except by resident choice);
*Staff standing over residents while assisting them to eat;
*Staff interacting/conversing only with each other rather than with residents while assisting with meals.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to honor residents' right to dignity
during dining by daily serving of meals on disposable dishware and by standing over residents while
providing feeding assistance. This failure affects seven residents (R8, R13, R15, R17, R22, R37, and R61)
out of 18 reviewed for dignity on the sample list of 47.
Findings Include:
1. On 4/2/24 at 12:10 PM, V3 Dietary Manager stated, We are serving the foam plates due to the
dishwasher being broken. The dishwasher has been broken since February (2024), it first started leaking
and it got worse, and then it finally quit. The server today started serving on regular plates then realized she
intended to use foam plates for everybody.
On 4/3/24 at 12:42 PM, R37 stated, I don't like the foam plates. It is too easy to cut through the foam plates
with the metal knives, and the foam cups are small at the bottom and large at the top so I am always afraid
I am going to tip them over and spill them. It's easy to lose track of time in here but I would say they have
been serving the foam plates for about 3 weeks straight or so.
On 4/3/24 at 12:44 PM, R13 stated, Foam plates, yeah, the dishwasher must be broken, there's nothing like
a regular plate.
On 4/3/24 at 12:46 PM, R8 stated, The dishwasher is broken, that's why they are using foam plates.
On 4/3/24 at 12:48 PM, R61 stated, The foam plates are easier to get rid of, they just throw them

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 4/3/24 at 12:55 PM, V10 [NAME] stated, We are using the foam plates because the dishwasher is
broken. They are supposed to get us a new one. The use of the foam plates has varied but we have been
steady using them for about 3 weeks. Nobody wants to stand over the sink and do dishes by hand.
Residents Affected - Some
On 4/4/24 at 9:45 AM, R15 unprompted, stated, For a couple of months we have been served meals on
foam plates. The food gets cold a lot quicker because they can't use the plate warmers on foam plates like
they do with regular plates. I hope they fix that dishwasher soon.

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
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain safe and comfortable water
temperatures in resident hand sinks on the facility's C Hall (300 Hall). This failure affects 14 residents (R5,
R10, R11, R13, R26, R31, R33, R38, R46, R52, R57, R58, R59, and R61) out of 18 reviewed for accident
hazards on the sample list of 47.
Findings Include:
On 4/2/24 at 2:15 PM, the water temperature in the hand sink in room [ROOM NUMBER] had a stinging
sensation to the hand. The water temperature in this same sink measured 119.4 degrees Fahrenheit (F)
with an Illinois Department of Public Health Digital Automatic Calibration thermometer. room [ROOM
NUMBER] had a hand sink water temperature of 115.3 F. room [ROOM NUMBER] had a hand sink water
temperature measuring 122.3 F. room [ROOM NUMBER] hand sink water temperature measured 114.6 F.
On 4/2/24 at 2:28 PM, V5 Maintenance Director, stated, We just got a new water heater and the mixing
valve on it is so sensitive, I move it a millimeter and it sends the temperatures way off. V5 continued, Even
the 114 (F) is too hot, our standard is to keep it below 110 (F).
On 4/3/24 at 2:05 PM, the water temperature in the hand sink in room [ROOM NUMBER] measured 116.9
F. In room [ROOM NUMBER] the hand sink water temperature measured 117.3 F. The water temperature in
the hand sink in room [ROOM NUMBER] measured 126.6 F. The water in this hand sink was hot enough to
trigger a reflex withdrawal motion when a hand was placed under the water stream. In room [ROOM
NUMBER] the water temperature of the hand sink measured 120.7 F, again hot enough to trigger a reflex
withdrawal motion. The temperature of the water in the hand sink in room [ROOM NUMBER] measured
117.8 F. The hand sink water temperature in room [ROOM NUMBER] measured 115.7 F.
On 4/3/24 at 3:07 PM, V5 Maintenance Director stated, Yesterday I adjusted the mixer valve to turn down
the temperature, then I asked my Assistant to check the temperatures first thing this morning and they
actually went the wrong way, they went up. We had a plumber out here and he said the mixing valve needs
a whole new kit or replaced.
On 4/3/24 at 3:10 PM, while observing the mixing valve, V5 stated, I have the valve turned all the way down
so right now it should be passing basically 100 percent cold water but it isn't, so I know the temperatures
are hot again today.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Many
Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the
food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide the services of a clinically
qualified director of food and nutrition services. This failure has the potential to affect all 77 residents
residing in the facility, with R18 being one exception.
Findings Include:
On 4/2/24 at 9:44 AM, V5 Dietary Manager stated, I am the Dietary Manager. I started here as the manager
in 2019. I have an FSM (Food Service Manager, cooking sanitation certificate) certificate. The FSM took
one day to get. It was a one day course of study and take a test. I also have a CFM (Certified Food
Manager, cooking sanitation certificate) certificate which is basically the same course of study and take a
test that also took one day. V5 continued and confirmed neither of these certificates is similar to a CDM
(Certified Dietary Manager), nor CFPP (Certified Food Protection Professional) (nationally certified, 6
months or greater of clinical nutritional study followed by a certification exam). V5 then stated, I am enrolled
in the CDM course through the University of North Dakota. This course has a set of 4 books for study and
since I have these 2 sanitation certificates, I only have to complete 2 of the books, so I am about halfway
through the course. V5 continued, We do have an RD (Registered Dietician) who is here several days per
month but is not full time, she works as a consultant. V5 then confirmed she did not meet the state
requirements as a Dietetic Service Supervisor (reference Illinois Admin Code 77, Section 300.330,
Definitions) by stating, I am not an RD, I haven't graduated from any school or program, I have not
completed the CDM course so I don't have the CDM certificate, and I don't have any military service. V5
concluded by stating, We have one resident (R18) who receives feedings through a G-tube (gastrostomy
tube) who is NPO (nothing by mouth).
On 4/2/24 at 9:44 AM and 11:55 AM, and on 4/3/24 at 12:08 PM through 1:47 PM, V5, Dietary Manager
was actively directing and managing the food preparation and food service activities in the facility's kitchen.
There were concerns with resident dignity identified during the survey with the daily use of disposable dish
wares (reference F550).
The facility's Form 802 Resident Matrix dated 4/2/24 documents 77 residents reside in the facility, all of
whom, with one exception, R18, consume food prepared from the facility kitchen. This same Form 802
documents R18 receives all nutrition and hydration through a gastrostomy tube and takes nothing by
mouth.
