Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the low air loss mattress
was set on the recommended setting. This failure affected 1 (R238) resident reviewed for the prevention of
pressure injury in the total sample of 54 residents. Findings include:On 08/11/2025 at 11:59am, R238 is
lying on a low air loss mattress. The low air loss mattress is set at firm. The ‘Static' button is also turned
‘On'. On 08/11/2025 at 12:00pm, these observations were pointed out to V17 (Licensed Practice Nurse).
V17 stated the setting is at firm and the ‘Static' button is on. V17 also stated she is a new nurse. On
08/11/2025 at 12:15pm, V5 (Wound Care Nurse) stated the setting of the low air loss mattress is according
to resident's weight so the air flows evenly preventing pressure ulcer. The setting should not be higher than
the resident's weight because setting the low air loss mattress higher than the resident's weight defeats the
purpose of the low air loss mattress. On 08/11/2025 at 12:17pm, V5 checked the setting of R238's low air
loss mattress and stated the weight setting is at ‘Firm'. V5 moved the dial to 350lbs and stated she will
check (R238) weight. On 08/11/2025 at 12:18pm, V5 stated his weight is 167lbs. The low air loss mattress
setting should not be set at 350lbs because it makes the mattress firm defeating the purpose of the low air
loss mattress. On 08/13/2025 at 1:34pm, V5 stated the ‘Static' button is turned on if staff is transferring the
resident. The ‘Static' button should not be left on because if left ‘ON' the low air loss mattress provides a

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to prepare insulin syringe dosage according to
the prescribed sliding scale order. This failure affected one resident (R220) reviewed for medication
administration and has the potential to affect all 10 residents receiving insulin products, that are residing on
the second-floor unit of the facility. Findings include:Review of the facility's provided census (dated
8/12/2025), 231 residents live within the facility (10 residents receiving insulin on the second-floor unit). On
8/12/2025 at 10:30 AM, at R220's room's door entrance, V19 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN), measured
R220's blood sugar and stated the blood sugar was 258. V19 stated, according to the active order for
insulin sliding scale, R220 should receive 7 units of insulin subcutaneously.On 8/12/2025 at 10:40 AM,
observed V19 (LPN) at the rim of R220's room to perform hand hygiene, and prepared R220's insulin
injection. Observed 6 units of insulin inside of the prepared syringe. V19 affirmed, the amount of insulin V19
withdrawn into the syringe was 6 units. At this time, V19 was ready to enter resident's room for
administration of R220's insulin, when the surveyor stopped V19 from walking into R220's room and
administer the incorrect dosage of insulin and the surveyor asked V19 to recheck the order. V19 logged into
the electronic records system and checked the orders for insulin. At this time, V19 stated the correct
dosage should be 7 units of insulin instead of the 6 units V19 incorrectly prepared. V19 affirmed that V19
made a significant medication error and prepared wrong dosage of the insulin. V19 then discarded the 6
units of insulin and redrew a new syringe with the correct dosage of 7 units of insulin. V19 stated V19
should always double check the sliding scale orders and compare to what is prepared, and check all 5
rights of medication administration, before giving any medications to a resident. V19 stated the wrong dose
could have interfered with the blood sugar levels of the resident. V19 also stated, if the incorrect dose of
insulin would have been administered, R220's blood sugar levels would not sufficiently decrease to the
desired therapeutic range. V19 was then observed preparing another insulin syringe.Face sheet documents
R220's diagnosis included but not limited to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hyperlipidemia, Deficiency of other
vitamins, and Glaucoma. Minimum Data Sheet (MDS) dated [DATE], in Section C- Cognitive Patterns
documents Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) Summary Score of 2 which indicates severely impaired
cognitive function. On 8/12/2025 at 10:55 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON), stated the expectation for
insulin administration is for the nurse to clean hands and perform hand hygiene, clean the vial and the
nurse should double check the insulin order to withdraw the correct dosage needed. V2 said the nurse
should check the five rights for administration of medication, which include but not limited to the right
resident, right medication, and right dosage to be given. V2 also stated, according to facility's policy, the
nurse should triple check the medication and dosage against the physician's order prior to administering, to
prevent a significant medication error from occurring. On 8/12/2025 at 11:30 AM, V20 (LPN), stated it is
important to follow physician's orders and double check the orders to administer the correct dosage of the
medication. On 8/13/2025, at 1:30 PM, V10 (Assistant to Director of Nursing/ADON), stated it is very
important to triple check orders in the computer and it is crucial the correct dosage would be administered,
especially insulin. V10 affirmed if a wrong dosage of insulin is withdrawn, it would be considered a
significant medication error. V10 also stated if the wrong dosage would be administered, the resident could
have experienced blood glucose levels in less than therapeutic value desired. R220's Order Summary
Report, (8/12/2025) showed in part, an active order from 5/31/2023 for Humalog injection Solution 100
unit/ml, to inject as per sliding scale: BLOOD SUGAR 0-70 CALL MD; 71-150= 0 UNITS; 151-200 = 3

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 that foods were stored
and/or prepared under sanitary conditions. These failures have the potential to affect all 229 residents
residing at the facility. Findings include:1. On 08/11/2025 at 10:12 AM, during the initial tour with V31
(Dietary Manager), the Surveyor observed boxes of cheese (5lbs), pork loins (50lbs), and deli turkey
(20lbs) boxes placed in the middle of the floor of the walk-in refrigerator. There were several boxes of other
products placed above the ones on cement floor. Also, the entire floor of the walk-in refrigerator was
covered with water due to a leak in the ceiling.There were also cartons of milk in thin (so thin that the milk
cartons were exposed to the concrete floor) plastic crates were set on top of puddle of water. This includes
four crates directly on the floor. According to V31, each crate contained 50 cartons of milk. There were 15
subsequent crates on top of the 4 bottom crates of milk. According to V31, the puddle of water in the
walk-in refrigerator was probably due to the ceiling leak.The Surveyor and V31 observed the following items
on the floor of the walk-in- freezer: one box of zucchini (24 lbs.), one box of tater tots (frozen potato snacks)
(24 lbs.) and one box of roast beef (40 lbs.). One large 3-level shelve in the storage room was completely
empty.There were several boxes of food observed on the dirty (dark brown substances throughout the floor)
sticky floor in the storage room. These items include cans of sweet potatoes, canned sliced apples, Ready
Care Shakes, and boxes of chocolate chips cookies, corn flakes and rice crispies.V31 stated that the boxes
of frozen meat, dairy products and dry storage goods should be six inches above the ground to prevent
cross contamination. V31 added that following this food safety practice prevents residents from get sick
from foodborne illnesses.On 08/13/2025 at 12:32 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, It is my expectation that
delivered boxes and food should be at least put on a pallet to raise it off the ground. I asked that the dietary
consultant speak with the foodservice company to let them know to never again place boxes on the
ground.The facility's Storage of Refrigerated/Frozen Foods, Section: Food Safety & Sanitation policy dated
4/22 documents Food should be stored at a minimum of 6 inches from the floor. The facility's Storage of Dry
Foods/Supplies, Section: Food Safety & Sanitation policy dated 4/22 documents Foods and goods shall be

beard mask. V34's beard was covered but not V34's mustache.When asked should V31's mustache be
covered as well, V31 responded V34 should have both his beard and mustache covered. V31 then asked
V34 to cover his mustache.On 08/12/2025 at 11:25 AM, V34 was observed a second time placing food on
the residents' trays without facial hair (mustache) covered. At 11: 28 AM, V34 re-entered the kitchen without
beard and mustache covered. V31 immediately left the tray line and gave V34 a beard covering. V31 stated
the beard covers are distributed to dietary aides with beards as they enter the kitchen because the beard
covers are not available at the kitchen door entrance.At 11: 41 AM, V34 stated that he has worked at the
facility for 21 years and was not aware that both beard and mustache needed to be covered until today.On
08/13/2025 at 12:32 PM, V1 stated, It is my expectations that facial hair be covered to prevent hair in food,
cross contamination and food borne illnesses. The facility's Employee Health & Personal Hygiene, Section:
