What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 16 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 ensure the residents were treated with respect and dignity by not passing out meals to all residents sitting at a table at the same time. These failures affected 3 residents (R27, R43, R125) reviewed during dining in a total sample of 35 residents. Findings include: On 03/04/25 at 12:20 PM, observed R43 and R332 sitting at the same table in the main dining room with R332 eating lunch from his tray. Observed R43 watching R332 eat. R43 did not have a lunch tray in front of her. R43 stated, I'm hungry. Sometimes I have to wait to get my meal. On 03/04/25 at 12:24 PM, observed R27, R35, R125 and R174 sitting at a table in the main dining room. Observed R35 and R174 eating from their lunch trays. Observed R27 and R125 watching R35 and R174 eating their lunch and the staff passing out other resident trays. R35 and R174 did not have a lunch tray in front of them. R27 stated, I wish we were served all at the same time. I'm hungry. R125 stated, I'm hungry. I want my lunch. On 03/04/25 at 12:34 PM, as R35 was eating R35 stated, we always sit together but our trays come out at different times and we don't get our trays served to us all at the same time. On 03/04/25 at 12:37 PM, R35 finished eating her lunch meal. Observed R27 and R125 still waiting to receive their food and looking at the staff distributing the lunch trays to the other residents sitting in the main dining room. On 03/04/25 at 12:38 PM, as R43 was delivered her meal, her tablemate (R332) who had already finished eating his lunch tray, stood up and walked away from the table. R43 began to eat her lunch independently right away. On 03/04/25 at 12:41 PM, R27 and R125's lunch trays arrived at their table. R27 and R125 began to eat independently immediately. On 03/05/25 at 12:10 PM, V23 (Registered Dietitian) stated during meal service residents sitting at the same table should receive meal at the same time. V23 stated one resident should not be sitting watching the other residents eating; that would be a dignity issue.

V12 stated the facility has never had this scenario before where a new diagnosis is added after the initial PASRR level I was completed. V12 stated if a resident receives a PASRR level I screen with a short-term approval it will specify the approval end date, which means if the resident remains in the facility past this end date, then the facility is supposed to request re-screening for PASRR level I/II via Maximus. V12 stated on the Maximus dashboard it will flag the resident as Update Needed for PASRR II, which lets the facility know the resident(s) who are getting ready to expire beyond the approval end date. V12 stated she could see the residents flagged as needing PASRR level II, but she was not able to request a re-screening via Maximus because she did not have access to do so. V12 stated she called Maximus today to find out why she does not have access to request a PASRR level II screening and Maximum was able to give her access as of today. V12 stated prior to today the residents with PASRR level I with short term approval were not being rescreened by Maximus for PASRR level II. V12 stated she submitted screenings for R1, R35, R55, and R99 as of today, 03/05/25. V12 stated she was not aware of R83 or R136 needing to be screened for PASRR level II due to mental illness diagnosis added.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 items listed on menu for pureed diets and prepare adequate food portions as documented on the recipe. This failure has the potential to affect 165 residents receiving pureed and regular diets prepared in the facility's kitchen based on the diet order list dated 03/04/25. Findings Include: On 03/04/25 at 12:00 PM, observed lunch tray line. Regular diets were receiving Sweet and Sour Chicken, Steamed Rice, and Oriental Vegetables. Pureed diets were receiving Pureed Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Pureed Spinach. V19 (Cook) stated she did not make pureed rice and the pureed diets were receiving mashed potatoes in place of pureed rice. On 03/04/25 at 12:54 PM, surveyor tasted pureed vegetable which was spinach. There was no spinach in the Oriental vegetables. On 03/04/25 at 12:59 PM, V17 (Dietary Manager) stated the pureed diets should have received pureed rice, not mashed potatoes based on the spreadsheets/menus. V17 stated the pureed diets should have received pureed oriental vegetables, not pureed spinach. V17 stated the pureed diets should be getting the same food as the regular diets except in pureed form. V17 stated this is important for menu variety and dignity. On 03/05/25 at 11:58 AM, V23 (Registered Dietitian) stated the cook should be following the spreadsheets and serving the items listed. V23 stated residents on pureed diets should all be receiving the same food as the regular diets but in pureed consistency. V23 stated just because the residents are on pureed diets they should not be receiving anything different than the regulars. V23 stated this is important to provide menu variety and all residents should be receiving a variety of foods. V23 stated if the pureed diets are given mashed potatoes every day, they could get sick of them, and this could affect their intake. V23 stated the kitchen should not be using left over vegetables for the purees, and the purees should have received pureed Oriental vegetables like everyone else. On 03/05/25 at 11:30 AM, V19 stated each resident will receive one slice of ham which is equivalent to 3-ounces for lunch. V19 stated the kitchen does not have a slicer, so she had to hand cut all the ham into 3-ounce slices and the slices did not come out uniform because the knives they have in the kitchen are not the best, so it was difficult to get a clean cut of the ham. Surveyor could see that none of the slices of ham were uniform in thickness and some of the slices of ham were very thin. On 03/05/25 at 11:32 AM, surveyor asked V19 to weigh a randomly selected slice of ham from the prepared sheet pan. Using an industrial scale that had been tared to zero the 1st slice of ham weighed 2.5 ounces. Surveyor asked V19 to weigh a 2nd slice of ham and this slice of ham weighed 1-ounce. Surveyor asked for a 3rd slice of ham to be weighed and this slice of ham was 2-ounces. On 03/05/25 at 12:25 PM, as surveyor was leaving the kitchen observed lunch tray line in progress. Observed V19 serving single slices of ham on each resident plate.

F 0805 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual needs. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to prepare ground/mechanical soft and pureed food in appropriate diet consistency form. This failure has the potential to affect 10 residents on mechanical soft/ground diets (R15, R19, R26, R36, R39, R60, R79, R81, R82, R95) and 8 residents on pureed diets (R68, R71, R84, R94, R106, R114, R115, R116) prepared in the facility kitchen based on list of residents receiving mechanical soft with ground meat and pureed diets dated 03/04/25. Findings Include: Facility had 10 residents on mechanical soft/ground diets and 8 residents on pureed diets. On 03/04/25 at 12:16 PM, observed V19 (Cook) portioning out food on the tray line. Observed large pan of Sweet and Sour Chicken and smaller container of pureed Sweet and Sour Chicken. V19 stated the regular diets and mechanical soft/ground diets are receiving the same entrée in the same form for lunch. V19 stated a separate ground Sweet and Sour Chicken was not prepared. V19 stated the chicken already comes in diced up. Observed multiple large chunks of chicken mixed in with smaller diced up pieces of chicken. On 03/04/25 at 12:54 PM, tasted Sweet and Sour Chicken and noted multiple large pieces of chicken which had to be broken up with a fork for surveyor to fit into mouth to taste. On 03/04/25 at 1:06 PM, V17 (Dietary Manager) observed the Sweet & Sour Chicken and stated the diced chicken does not have uniform sized pieces of chicken and there are some large pieces mixed in with smaller pieces. V17 stated the chicken in the Sweet & Sour Chicken should be ground for the mechanical soft diets. V17 stated the larger chicken pieces could be a potential choking hazard and that is why the chicken should be ground. On 03/05/25 at 10:50 AM, during pureed lunch food preparation observed the pureeing process for ham and V19 stated she uses a blender to puree the food and the consistency of the puree should be pudding like with no chunks or particles in it. V19 stated the overall consistency should be smooth like baby food and require no chewing. On 03/05/25 at 11:43 AM, observed V19 pureeing ham and adding broth and noticed the solids and liquids were separating instead of becoming emulsified into a cohesive product. V19 was using an older blender which did not seem to be working effectively. When V19 finished pureed preparation and the final product was portioned into a serving pan surveyor tasted the pureed ham. The final product was not pureed. The ham had large particles of ham that the surveyor had to chew before swallowing. On 03/05/25 at 11:45 AM, V17 tasted the pureed ham and stated the ham was not pureed enough and could not be served like that. On 03/05/25 at 12:00 PM, V23 (Registered Dietitian) stated reasons residents may be on a mechanical soft or ground diet is that they could have chewing problems. V23 stated ground/mechanical soft consistency should be like taco meat texture, not large chunks of regular meat. V23 stated the potential problem if a resident on a ground diet was to receive large chunks of chicken that was not ground is the residents may not be able to eat the food and it could potentially cause a resident to choke.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide double portions as part of the therapeutic diet as prescribed by the physician for 19 (R9, R17, R18, R23, R47, R78, R97, R98, R100, R107, R134, R136, R155, R164, R165, R174, R176, R232, R433) residents reviewed for dining services in a total sample of 35. Finding include: On 03/04/25 at 12:16 PM, during tray line observation observed V19 (Cook) portioning out food onto resident's trays for lunch. V19 stated the serving size for regular diets was 6-ounce ladle Sweet & Sour Chicken, #8 scoop (4-ounces) [NAME] Rice, and 4-ounce ladle Stir Fry Oriental Vegetables. V19 stated the residents with orders for double portions receive a double portion of the white rice (8-ounces total), and a standard portion of the Sweet and Sour Chicken (6-ounces) and Stir Fry Oriental Vegetables (4-ounces). V19 stated only the rice/starch is doubled, not the protein/main entrée or vegetables. On 03/04/25 at 12:17 PM, observed V19 portion out food for double portion diets based on their meal tickets for R47, R97, R134, R174 which consisted of 6-ounces Sweet and Sour Chicken, 8-ounces white rice and 4-ounces Stir Fry Oriental vegetables. On 03/05/25 at 12:06 PM, V23 (Registered Dietitian) stated a double portion order is a therapeutic diet if it is ordered by the physician. V23 stated residents may have orders for double portions to give them more calories to promote weight gain and there are some residents who have that order because it is a food preference for more food. V23 stated double portions for the meal means everything on the plate should be doubled. V23 stated yesterday the residents on double portions should have received double the standard portion for the protein, starch and vegetable. V23 stated if this is not what the residents received that means the diet order is not being followed. V23 stated maybe that is why the residents are still hungry and asking for more food after meals.

F 0883 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview with V2 (Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) on 3/5/25 at 11:36 AM, V2 stated that the corporate nurse was responsible for updating the facilities policies and procedures related to infection control including immunization policies. V2 stated pneumococcal consents and education are only provided to certain residents if they are above [AGE] years old and immunocompromised. V2 stated if a resident is under [AGE] years of age, pneumococcal consent and education will not be provided because they are not eligible to receive the vaccine. Review of Facility Policy: Immunizations dated 9/14 documents in part: Usually only one dose of pneumococcal vaccine is administered however, a second dose is recommended for those people aged 65 or older who got their first dose when they were under 65, if 5 or more years have passed since that dose. This second dose should only be given based on an assessment and practitioner recommendation. Each resident or the resident's representative will receive education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of pneumococcal immunization. Each resident over the age of 65 is offered a pneumococcal immunization, unless the immunization is medically contraindicated or the resident has already been immunized. The facility's policy did not reflect the CDC's Pneumococcal Vaccination guidance and did not include information on recommended doses of PCV15, PCV20 or PCV21.
