Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide privacy and promote dignity
for one of one resident [R105] reviewed for urinary catheter use on the sample list of 31.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
On 11/19/24 at 10:24 AM, R105's urinary catheter bag was hanging on the side of R105's bed, half filled
with urine and visible from the hallway. The urinary catheter bag did not have a protective cover over the
bag. R105 stated the [R105] is on the urinary catheter bag because of [R105's] wound.
On 11/20/24 at 10:33 AM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that urinary catheter bag
placement should not be facing the door, and if it's facing the door, it should be inside of a bag for privacy.
V2 stated that if the urinary catheter bag is exposed, it can potentially cause a dignity issue.
R105's physician orders document in part: Indwelling Catheter Type: (urinary) Catheter Size: 16 FR, 10 cc
(cubic centimeter) balloon Reason for use: Neurogenic Bladder (ordered 10/27/24).

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a low air loss mattress device was on
the correct weight setting for one dependent resident (R105) of two residents with pressure ulcers on a
sample list of 31 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
R105's clinical records show an admission date of 10/27/24 with included diagnoses not limited to Multiple
Sclerosis and Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer. R105's physician orders read: Low Air Loss (LAL) Mattress ordered
on 10/27/24. R105's skin care plan date initiated on 10/27/24 reads in part: R105 has a pressure injury on
the sacral area with one intervention that reads, Check air mattress if functioning properly every shift and
prn [as needed]. R105's weight shows 180 lbs dated 11/15/24.
R105's Skin Risk assessment dated [DATE] shows a score of 10 (High Risk in developing a pressure ulcer).
On 11/19/24 at 10:24 AM, R105's lying in bed alert and able to verbalize needs. Surveyor observed R105's
low air loss mattress weight setting was set to 180 pounds (lbs). R105 stated [R105] has a wound above
the tail bone area and is being seen by the wound care team.
On 11/20/24 at 9:06 AM, V18 (Wound Care Coordinator/Registered Nurse) and V19 (Treatment
Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse both stated R105 came in with a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer with wound
treatment daily. Both stated R105's wound assessment scale (a tool used to assess risks of developing
pressure ulcer) dated 11/11/24 is 10 which means R105 is high risk in developing pressure ulcer. Both
stated R105 is on a low air loss mattress and supplements for wound healing.
At 9:23 AM, R105's wound dressing was observed with V18 and V19. R105's wound dressing on the sacral
area was intact. R105's low air loss mattress machine was observed set to 210 lbs. V18 stated that the
purpose of the low air loss mattress is to offload the pressure point and alternates the weight of the
resident to promote wound healing and prevention of developing pressure ulcer. V18 stated that the low air
loss mattress should be set correctly and is based on the current weight of the resident. V18 stated nurses
and wound care team should be monitoring and making sure that the low air loss mattress is in the correct
setting and if it's in the wrong setting, the mattress could be so hard or so soft. For example, if it's in a low
setting it's not doing its purpose and the resident will sink.
At 9:33 AM, V18 checked R105's current weight recorded in the electronic health record and showed R105
weighed 180 lbs dated 11/15/24. V18 stated that R105's low air loss mattress weight setting should be set
to 180 lbs.
The facility's Specialized Mattress and Appropriate Layers of Padding policy dated 8/19/24 reads in part:
use specialized air mattresses like Low Air Loss Mattress on residents with stage 3 and 4 pressure sores to
ensure moisture, heat, and friction control.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to distinguish between a behavior slide
versus a fall, and failed to follow their fall occurrence policy for one [R119] resident reviewed for falls on the
sample list of 31 residents.
Findings include:
R119 's clinical record indicates the follow in part; R119 was admitted the medical diagnosis of cerebral
infarction with hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting left dominant side, coronary angioplasty, ventricular
tachycardia, cardiac implants, major depressive disorder, generalized weakness, anxiety, and alcohol
abuse with withdrawal.
R119's Minimum Data Set [MDS] section [ C] Brief interview Mental Status he scored [04] indicates R119 is
moderately impaired.
R119's care plan indicates the following:
8/9/24- R119 demonstrate cognitive impairment related to psychiatric disorder, history of substance abuse,
impaired decision making, poor logic and poor ability to understand cause and effect. Poor judgement and
awareness.
6/17/24- R119 has an impaired mobility.
8/6/23- R119 is at high risk for falls related to cognitive deficit, poor balance, limited mobility.
11/19/24- R119 has behavior of sliding onto the floor when experiencing any abdominal discomfort.
[Behavior Care Plan was entered after care plan was requested by the state survey agency]
On 11/19/24 at 10:43 AM, during initial interview with R82 in his room behind his privacy curtain by the
window, surveyor heard a noise. Surveyor observed R82's roommate R119 on the floor next to his bed, with
his head resting on the wheelchair's leg rest. Surveyor called for R119's nurse, V8 [Licensed Practical
Nurse]. Surveyor explained to V8 that she heard a noise and observed R119 on the floor with his head on
top of the wheelchair leg rest.
On 11/19/24 at 10:45 AM, V8 [Licensed Practical Nurse] entered the room and moved the wheelchair off
the mat to reach R119. V8 stated, I am not sure who placed the wheelchair next to R119's bed on his floor
mat. I see his head was resting on the wheelchair leg. V8 asked surveyor if R119 hit his head on the
wheelchair leg. Surveyor said, she did not witness the fall, but observed R119 head on top of the
wheelchair's leg rest. V8 asked R119 if he hit his head, R119 did not respond.
On 11/19/24 at 10:55 AM V8 stated, R119 has a behavior of sliding out of the bed. R119 did not fall out of
bed, he slides out of bed. Surveyor asked V8, because the occurrence was not witnessed, how do she [V8]
know it was a slide versus a fall. V8 stated, V2 [Director of Nursing] told the nursing staff that R119 has a
behavior of sliding out of the bed, so it is not treated as a fall, it is documented as a behavior. Anytime R119
is observed on the floor, it is automatically documented as

behavior slide. I will take R119 vital signs and notify the nurse practitioner and family member. R119 is
confused and he is not able to communicate his needs. Nursing staff make frequent rounds on R119.
Sometimes R119 responds to my questions, but I am not sure the answer is true, because R119 is very
confused. R119 is not answering me today.'
Residents Affected - Few
Reviewed R119's progress note indicates in part:
11/19/24 at 10:53 V8 [ Licensed Practical Nurse] Note. R119 continues to slide out of bed onto the landing
pad located on the floor next to his bed. R119 was removed from the floor by the certified nurse assistant
and placed back in bed. R119 was redirected, re-oriented and re-educated on the importance of staying in
bed and pressing his call button when needing assistance. Writer assessed R119, and he was clean and
dry, vital signs within normal limits. Nurse practitioner and R119's family made aware.
[There was no information regarding R119's head was on top of the wheelchair's leg, and no neurological
assessment noted.]
On 11/21/24 at 11:00 AM, V16 [Restorative Director/Registered Nurse] stated, I assist with fall interventions
along with the director of nursing [V2]. A fall means rather if the resident intentionally or unintentionally falls
on the floor. A fall is sometimes considered a change of plane. R119 is very confused and is a high fall risk.
R119 has a behavior of sliding out of bed. If R119 is observed on his floor mat and he intentionally place
himself there, then it is not a fall. R119 is very confused with a BIMS sore of 4, but he can make an
intentional decision to get on the floor. If R119 is on the floor, it is always a behavior slide, the floor mat
helps to reduce the risk of injury, it does not 100% eliminate injury.
On 11/20/22 at 11:34 AM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, A fall is a change of plane. However, that rule
does not apply to R119, because he slides out of bed, and it was considered a behavior. During the
Behavior Committee Meeting on 1/18/24. The interdisciplinary team decided R119 had a behavior. The
difference from a fall and a behavior slide is that the behavior slide is usually witness, but when R119 is
observed on the floor, and no one witnesses him sliding to the floor, it is usually still a behavior slide. It is a
fall when R119 is observed off the floor mat then it should consider a fall. R119 have not had any
documented falls since 12/12/23 but had several bed slides. If R119 was observed on the floor next to his
bed with his head resting on the wheelchair footrest, then V8 should have documented and treated the
incident as a fall not a behavior slide. V8 should have started neurological assessments and completed risk
management fall incident report. R119 needs a sitter by his bed side 24 hours per day. The facility is not
able to provide a sitter. R119's family member cannot afford a sitter as well. Maybe this is not the right
facility for R119, because we cannot provide one to one monitoring that he needs. I will in-service the staff
between the difference between a fall versus a behavior slide. R119's care plan was updated on 11/19/24,
that's why you don't see the behavior care plan dated for 1/18/24. I am not sure what happened to the
original behavioral care plan.
Policy:
Fall Occurrence dated 7/26/24.
If a resident had fallen, the resident is automatically considered a high risk for falls.

On 11/19/2024 at 11:18 AM, R40 was sitting in the common/dining room reading. R40 received 2 liters of
oxygen via nasal cannula. The nasal cannula was not labeled and R40 did not recall the last time staff
changed it.
On 11/20/2024 at 10:42 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the nasal cannula should be changed weekly
or as needed. V2 stated whoever changes the nasal cannula should also label it.
Reviewed facility's Oxygen Therapy and Administration policy, last revised on 8/16/2024. Under Procedure,
it documents in part: Date your equipment.
On 11/19/24 at 10:36 AM, Surveyor observed R95 lying in bed and using oxygen (O2) via nasal cannula
(NC). R95 was not interviewable. R95's oxygen flow rate was set to 4 liters per minute (LPM).
At 10:38 AM, Surveyor asked V20 (Agency Registered Nurse) to check R95's oxygen setting. V20 entered
R95's room and verified R95's oxygen flow rate was set to 4LPM.
On 11/19/24 at 10:55 AM, Surveyor observed R110 lying in bed and was using oxygen via nasal cannula.
R110's oxygen flow rate was set to 4 LPM. R110 stated [R110] has sleep apnea and uses oxygen to help
[R110] breath better. R110 stated R110 does not walk and needs staff assistance to get up from bed.
At 10:59 AM, Surveyor asked V21 (Registered Nurse) to check R110's oxygen setting. V21 entered R110's
room and verified R110's oxygen flow rate was set to 4LPM. V21 stated that R110's oxygen should be set
to 3LPM.
On 11/20/24 at 10:33 AM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that the nurses are supposed to
be monitoring that the resident's oxygen is in the right setting. V2 stated that O2 setting is based on the
physician's order and should be followed for the effective use of the oxygen on the resident.
R95's clinical records show an admission date of 10/06/22 with included diagnoses but not limited to
Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia. R95's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows R95 has

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 prepared foods stored in the
walk-in cooler were properly dated, labeled and discarded on the use by date. These failures have the
potential to affect 154 residents in the facility who are receive an oral diet.
Findings Include:
On 11/19/24 at 9:08 AM during the initial kitchen tour in the kitchen with V23 (Cook), there was a food cart
with trays of prepared foods such as ham sandwich, vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding, cups of fruits, and
pitchers of lemonade. The prepared foods on the tray had no labels when they were prepared. The plastic
cover covering the food cart had no label. V23 called V22 (Dietary Aide) and entered the main cooler. V22
stated that the plastic cover should have a date labeled when they were made to know when the food
should be discarded. Surveyor and V22 also found a bag of opened grated parmesan cheese with the label
that reads prepared date 11/9/24 and used by 11/16/24 (no manufacturer's expiration date noted). V22
stated prepared date is the same as opened date on the label. There was also a tray of pie crust inside a
clear bag with no label.
On 11/19/24 at 11:38 AM, interviewed V24 (Dietary Manager) and stated, We keep everything for 7 days
after opening 7 days we throw it out. Dry goods after opening good for 6 months. If it says used by, we wait
for few more days. If it's not in the box and no expiration date, we go by the used by date. All prepared foods
should be labeled and dated. They are good for 7 days. We discard on the 7th day. If prepared foods are in
the cart, the cart should be covered with plastic cover and labeled and dated whatever day it was prepared.
The facility's Receiving policy dated 10/19 documents in part: All food items will be appropriately labeled
and dated either through manufacturer packaging or staff notation.
The facility's roster dated 11/19/24 documents 156 residents residing in the facility with 2 residents who are

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 11/19/24 at 11:01 AM surveyor observed V12 [Certified Nurse Assistant] walking down the hallway and
passes the nursing station holding soiled linen hanging down with yellow, brownish stains next to her
uniform with bare hands and went into the soiled utility room. V12 came immediately out of the soiled utility
room and entered the clean supply room and came out with an under brief and towel in her hands.
Residents Affected - Some
On 11/19/24 at 11:02 AM, V12 stated I removed soiled linen from a resident's bed that had urinated on the
sheets and took the linen into the soiled utility room. Then I went into the clean supply room for an under
brief and towel. I did not wash my hands I was rushing and forgot. I was supposed to place the soiled linen
in a plastic bag, soon as I removed them from the bed and washed my hands. I should not have walked
down the hallway with the soiled linen, due to infection control. I will go a wash my hands now.
On 11/20/24 at 2:00 PM, V2 [Director of Nursing] stated, My expectation for handling soiled linen is when
the linen is removed from the bed, the nursing staff should immediately place the linen into a plastic bag,
then take the back to the soiled utility room. Then staff then should immediately wash their hands to prevent
the spread of infection and or cross contamination between the soiled linen and clean linen from one
resident to another.
On 11/22/24 at 110:59 AM, V2 [Director of Nursing] via email said, the facility does not have policy for
nursing staff handling linen.
Policy:
Infection Prevention and Control dated 7/31/24.
Standard precautions
Based on principle that all blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, may contain transmissible infectious
agents. Infection prevention practices include hand hygiene, use of gloves, gown, mask.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to follow their infection prevention and
control policy by failing to don proper personal protective equipment, failing to handle soiled linen properly
and failing to perform hand hygiene after handling soiled linen. These failures have the potential to affect all
45 residents residing on the one residental floor at the facility.
Findings include:
On 11/19/24 at 11:45 AM, there was orange signage for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) posted on
the outside of R77's door.
On 11/19/24 at 11:47 AM, V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant) viewed the orange signage for Enhanced
Barrier Precautions posted outside R77's room and stated that sign tells V12 that R77 is on Enhanced
Barrier Precautions which means that when V12 goes into R77's room to provide direct resident care V12
wears a gown and gloves. V12 stated if V12 is only going into the room to drop something off such as R77's
food tray and V12 is not going to touch the resident then V12 only has to use hand

Residents Affected - Some
sanitizing solution before and after entering the room, no gown or gloves are required. V12 stated if R77
was on contact isolation, then there would be a different type of sign posted outside R77's room and then
anytime V12 enters R77's room V12 would have to put on a gown, and gloves whether V12 is providing
direct care or not.
On 11/19/24 at 12:10 PM, V13 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V13 reads the infection control signs
posted outside the resident's rooms to see what type of isolation the resident is on. V13 stated R77 is on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions. V13 stated when V13 is doing any activities of daily living requiring V13 to
touch R77, then V13 puts on gloves and a gown but if V13 is only entering the room to deliver R77's meal
tray or is not going to touch R77 then V13 does not need to put on any personal protective equipment, only
hand hygiene before and after entering the room.
On 11/19/24 at 12:27 PM, V13 entered R77's room carrying R77's lunch tray. V13 did not have on a gown
or gloves.
On 11/19/24 at 12:47 PM, V4 (Infection Preventionist Nurse) stated R77 is on Contact Isolation precautions
for Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) in wound. V4 viewed the orange Enhanced Barrier
Precaution sign posted outside R77's room and stated that is not the correct sign. It should be the Contact
Isolation Precautions sign. V4 stated V4 has confirmed with wound care that R77 is still having draining
from R77's wound despite completing course of antibiotics and that R77's wound was re-cultured to make
sure the ESBL is gone. V4 stated the results of the culture is not back yet and therefore R77 is still on
Contact Isolation precautions until the wound cultures results get back. V4 stated staff should be wearing a
gown and gloves anytime they are entering R77's room. V4 stated if the staff is not wearing the appropriate
PPE the potential problem is the infection can spread to other residents.
