**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure assistance with hygiene care for 1
(R31) of 1 resident reviewed for dignity in the sample of 24. This failure resulted in R31 being left in
urine-soaked clothing with urine dripping under his chair during mealtime, which would cause a reasonable
person to feel discomfort, humiliation and frustration.
The Findings Include:
R31's Face Sheet documents an admission of 10/9/2023 and includes the following diagnosis:
schizophrenia.
R31's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status
(BIMS) score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Section H of this same MDS documents R31 is
frequently incontinent for urine. Section GG - Functional Abilities and Goals documents R31 requires
supervision or touching assistance for toileting hygiene and lower body dressing, meaning the helper
provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes
activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity or intermittently.
R31's Care Plan documents a problem area of Self Care Deficit - needs supervision and/or assist to
complete quality care and/or poorly motivated to complete ADL's (Activities of Daily Living). Goals for this
focus area are for R31 to participate in bathing/dressing during am/pm care for the next 90 days.
Interventions for this problem area include: Assist with ADL's as necessary with staff assist of
supervision/limited. Set up. Have necessary items in place. Offer supervision and verbal cues. Segment
tasks as needed to allow Resident to complete tasks in efficient time, safe and quality manner. Observe for
changes in Resident ADL ability and notify nurse for follow up w/ Restorative, therapy or Medical Doctor.
Provide privacy and dignity. Remind Resident as necessary to pull curtains and keep closed during times of
undress. Provide sufficient time to complete tasks. Avoid rushing Resident but keep on task to avoid dignity
issues. Resident will make appropriate choices regarding ADL's preferences.
On 9/18/24 at 11:40 AM, R31 was walking down the hall from his room to the dining room for lunch. R31's
clothing was wet from under his armpit to the back of his knees.
At 11:43 AM, R31 sat down in the dining room awaiting lunch and a puddle began forming under his chair
leaking from his seat. Several staff passed R31 and assisted in placing a clothing protector on him during
this time.

At 12:05 PM, surveyor brought to the attention of V5 (Certified Nurse Assistant/CNA) that R31 was
standing up in a puddle and his pants were falling down. V5 at this time took R31 back to his room to clean
him up. The chair and floor remained wet during this time.
At 12:20 PM, R31 re-entered the dining room in clean dry clothes and sat down in the wet seat with his feet
in the puddle of urine under the table.
At 12:25PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) placed a paper towel on the floor and used her foot to soak up
the puddle asking who spilled something.
On 9/18/24 at 2:30 PM, V5 stated that R31 is generally incontinent of urine and bowel and wears an
incontinent brief. V5 stated that she did not call housekeeping to clean up the chair or the floor, but she did
not see the puddle under the chair. V5 stated that the weight of R31's saturated incontinent brief is what
was causing his pants to fall down.
On 9/18/24 at 4:30 PM, V10 (Guardian) stated that she visits her residents every quarter. V10 stated that
she was last there in June 2024 and when she arrived, R31 was sitting in the common area and his
clothing was wet from urine. V10 stated that once she arrived, R31 was taken to be cleaned up and
changed. V10 stated that she expects that staff will keep R31 cleaned up, dry and not left sitting in
urine-soaked clothing. V10 stated that while R31 is unable to tell us himself, R31 would be embarrassed to
be sitting in urine-soaked clothing and a puddle of urine underneath him along with the two other residents
sitting next to him at the dining room table.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prepare food in the proper form of
the diet order for 5 of 5 (R1, R16, R18, R19 and R30) residents reviewed for menus meeting resident needs
in the sample of 24.
The Findings Include:
1. R1's current order summary report lists diet order as: regular diet, pureed texture.
2. R16's current order summary report lists diet order as: regular diet, pureed texture.
3. R18's current order summary report lists diet order as: regular diet, mechanical soft texture.
4. R19's current order summary report lists diet order as: regular diet, mechanical soft texture.
5. R30's current order summary report lists diet order as: regular diet, mechanical soft texture.
On 9/17/24 at 12:00 PM, during lunch meal observation, V4 (Cook) was preparing the altered diets for
residents on mechanical soft and puree. V4 stated that she did not have to prepare the meal any different
for the mechanical soft diets because it was meat loaf. V4 then pureed the meat loaf, spinach and Au Gratin
potatoes and did not use any liquid in the food processor while blending the food. V4 did not use a spoon tilt
test to determine if the proper food consistency was obtained for the mechanical soft and puree food items.
The menu for 9/17/24 was listed as: Meatloaf, Au Gratin Potatoes, Club Spinach, Bread/Margarine, and a

Residents Affected - Some
On 9/17/2024 at 11:08 AM, V23 (Family) stated that the pureed food needs some help. V23 stated that the
pureed food is not consistent, some days the food is very thin and runny and other days it is too thick.
On 9/17/24 at 1:00 PM, V4 confirmed that she did not chop or grind the meatloaf until V1 (Administrator)
told her to, and that she did not have gravy prepared for the meal. V4 stated that she doesn't add liquid to
the puree or mechanical soft diets because it may make it too runny, so that was why for the puree food
items she didn't add any liquid to the food in the food processor. V4 also stated that she forgot to make the
pureed bread for that meal, so no puree diets got the bread/margarine.
On 9/19/24 at 1:00 PM, the lunch dessert was observed to be fruit in a red liquid served in a bowl. The
menu for the day listed the dessert as fruited gelatin. At this time, R8 who is alert to person, place and time
stated that she isn't sure what the dessert is, but it looks like canned fruit in red juice.
On 9/19/24 at 1:30PM, V4 stated that she is unsure why the fruited gelatin did not set and was runny
because she made it two days in advance to ensure that the gelatin would not be liquid.
On 9/19/24 at 2:00 PM, V6 (Certified Nurse Assistant/CNA) stated that she was previously a kitchen
employee and trained V4 on how to puree, and she taught her to always use a hot liquid to puree the food
items to get it to the correct consistency.
A Diet Type Report provided by V1 on 9/20/24 at 2:00 PM, lists R18, R19, and R30 as receiving a
Mechanical Soft diet. This same report lists R1 and R16 as receiving a puree diet.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the kitchen was clean and
sanitary to prevent cross contamination. This has the potential to affect all 34 residents residing in the
facility.
The Findings Include:
During the initial tour of the kitchen on 9/17/24 at 9:20 AM, the following observations were made:
-No paper towels were available at the hand wash sink
-Stove top gas burners were dirty with burnt, dried up, and spilled food items on them
-The sides of the oven were dirty with spilled food and grease down each side
-The flat top grill on the stovetop grease/crumb trap was full of old food crumbs and grease
-The floor around the oven had dried food matter under the oven
-A non-handle scoop/Styrofoam cups were found in fortified powder, brown sugar and sugar bulk containers
-A towel was stuck in the back door to keep it open
On 9/17/24 at 12:15PM, a fan was observed sitting in the kitchen window with a screen blowing air into the
kitchen from the outside. The fan had flies and dirt on the kitchen side of it, blowing onto drinks to be served
at lunch that were not on ice/not covered.
On 9/17/24 at 12:35PM, a cart was observed sitting near the serving line with glasses of milk, water and
lemonade. The glasses were not covered and were not in an ice bath. V3 (Cook) was asked at this time to
take the temperature of the uncovered glass of milk sitting on a kitchen cart. The temperature was found to
be 59 degrees. V3 stated that he thought that was a little high on temperature, but they needed to start
serving because they were late so there wasn't anything he could do about it.
On 9/17/24 at 12:40 PM, V1 (Administrator) came in and told kitchen staff they could not serve the drinks
and that they had to be dumped out and new drinks poured. At this same time, V1 stated that they will get
the fan cleaned so as to not blow debris potentially onto the food.
On 9/17/24 at 2:00 PM, V4 (Cook) stated there is no cleaning log in the kitchen currently.
On 9/18/24 at 12:00 PM, V3 (Cook) was observed handling dirty and clean dishes without hand washing or
using gloves.

A facility provided document labeled Enhanced Barrier Precautions with a date of 07/13/2023, documented
Enhanced Barrier Precautions should be used when contact precautions do not apply, for residents with
any of the following: open wounds that require a dressing change, indwelling medical devices, and infection
or colonized with a MDRO (Multidrug-Resistant Organisms). Enhanced Barrier Precautions require the use
of a gown, and gloves during high - contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for the transfer
of MDRO's to staff hands and clothing.
According to https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/PPE.html, Enhanced Barrier
Precautions expand the use of PPE and refer to the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident
care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. MDROs may be
indirectly transferred from resident-to-resident during these high-contact care activities. Nursing home
residents with wounds and indwelling medical devices are at especially high risk of both acquisition of and
colonization with MDROs. The use of gown and gloves for high-contact resident care activities is indicated,
when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply, for nursing home residents with wounds and/or
indwelling medical devices regardless of MDRO colonization as well as for residents with MDRO infection
or colonization. Under the heading Implementation documents: When implementing Contact Precautions or
Enhanced Barrier Precautions, it is critical to ensure that staff have awareness of the facility's expectations
about hand hygiene and gown/glove use, initial and refresher training, and access to appropriate supplies.
To accomplish this: Post clear signage on the door or wall outside of the resident room indicating the type of
Precautions and required PPE (e.g., gown and gloves). For Enhanced Barrier Precautions, signage should
also clearly indicate the high-contact resident care activities that require the use of gown and gloves.
