Ensure the transfer/discharge meets the resident's needs/preferences and that the resident is prepared for
a safe transfer/discharge.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to facilitate non-discriminatory discharge planning
that meets the resident's preferences by allowing the resident to remain in the facility and paying privately
for a bed.This applies to 1 resident (R5) reviewed for discharge planning in a sample of 30
residents.Findings include:On 7/22/25 at 11:53 AM, R5 and V31 (R5's Son-in Law) said they are concerned
because they want R5 to be able to remain in the facility, but they were told R5 is going to be transferred to
another facility on 7/29/25 when her Medicare days run out. V31 said they had a meeting with the facility
staff and told the staff they want to remain in the facility after the 29th as private pay, but the staff said they
will not have a room for R5 after 7/29/25.V1's (Administrator) progress note dated 7/10/25 at 9:12AM states
V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) and V1 met with R5's POA (Power of Attorney) and son to discuss discharge
planning. Progress note states R5's 100th day is on 7/29/25 and V1 explained to POA that at this time the
facility does not have long term care bed availability. V28's (Social Service Director's) Progress Note dated
7/7/25 at 1:49 PM states a Care Plan meeting was held with R5, R5's son, and R5's daughter and Social
Services went over a discharge plan. V28's progress note states R5's discharge date is 7/29/25, her 100th
Medicare day and this note also states R5 would like to pay for a little bit.On 7/24/25 at 12:34 PM V28
(Social Service Director) said R5's discharge plan is to be discharged on 7/30/25 to an undetermined
facility. V28 said she knows R5 wants to stay in the facility as private pay, but it has been explained to R5
and her family that the facility does not have a long term bed right now. V28 said she knows they do not
have a long term bed because V1 (Administrator) told V28 there is no long term bed available for a private
pay resident. V28 said she does not know how bed availability is determined, but V1 has the final say. V28
said R5 was accepted at another facility, but R5's daughter said she is uncertain if she wants her mom to
go to that facility because R5 might need dialysis and she doesn't know if R5's primary physician goes to
that facility like he does this facility.On 7/24/25 at 1:54 PM, V1 (Administrator) said the facility has 140
certified beds for Medicaid/Private Pay residents. V1 said based on that 140 certified bed allowance and the
facility census of 130 residents, they do have a bed available for R5. V1 said R5 and her family were told
there was no bed available because V1 was told by the facility's CFO (Chief Financial Officer) to only
accept 82 long term care residents. V1 said the only long term care residents that she has accepted since
she started at the facility in May 2025 have been Hospice or Respite. V1 was asked if the facility is licensed
and certified for 140 Medicaid/Private Pay beds, why would the CFO tell her to only accept 82 residents
and V1 replied, It is for profit. V1 said the facility does have the bed available for R5 to stay in the facility
after 7/29/25 based on their certification status, but they told R5 and her family they did not have a bed for
her. V1 said when the facility is accepting residents into their beds, V1 and V30 (Admissions Director)
reference an email dated 3/13/2020 sent by the Bureau of Long Term Care Chief. This email states, Dear
Administrator, The Department of Public Health notified my office of an increase in the Medicaid distinct
part unit effective October 1, 2019. Of the 197 licensed beds, 140 of these beds are certified in the
Medicaid program. On 7/24/25 at 2:57 PM, V30 (Admissions Director) said she does not know how many
beds the facility has for Private Pay or Medicaid residents. V30 said all Long-Term Care admissions need to
be approved by V1. V30 then provided surveyor a document showing all beds that were available on
7/22/25 and are still available to accept a Medicaid or Private Pay resident. V30 said there are 29 available
Medicaid/Private Pay beds.R5's Care Plan initiated on 6/19/25 states the resident has a psychosocial
well-being problem related to recent admission. Interventions include increase communication between

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to review and revise resident care
plans to reflect significant incidents/changes in condition. This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R25 and R36)
reviewed for care plans in a sample of 30.
The findings include:
1. R25’s face sheet showed he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including chronic kidney
disease, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gout, dependence of
renal dialysis, lymphedema, osteoarthritis, and hypertension.
R25 had a fall incident on June 13, 2025 at 4:15 AM per V45’s (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse)
“Post Fall Observation” assessment form. V45’s progress noted dated June 13,2025,
states she saw R25 “tipped back against the wall with her legs in the air and her head tilted to the
right against the wall.” Per V45, “leaving her (R25) on the floor was not an option due to the
Hoyer lift being stuck under the geri-chair.” V45’s “Post-Fall Observation”
assessment form dated June 13, 2025, states that resident sustained a fall in her room and was sent to the
ER for evaluation.
R25’s fall care plan accessed on July 23,2025 still states resident is “at risk” for falls
due to weakness and impaired mobility and does not reflect resident’s actual fall incident on June
13, 2025.
On June 24, 2025, 5:20 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that R25’s incident is not considered a
fall, so it was not investigated or reported as such.
2. R36’s face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including dementia and
a history of falling.
R36’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated July 2, 2025 showed R36 had severe cognitive impairment
and used a wheelchair for mobility.
R36’s care plan dated January 17, 2025 showed the resident is an elopement risk [due to]
[diagnosis] dementia, cognitive deficit and wandering behavior with interventions including Disguise exits:
cover door knobs and handles, tape floor. Distract resident from wandering by offering pleasant diversion,
structured activities, food, conversation, television, book. Identify patterns of wandering: Is wandering
purposeful, aimless, or escapist? Is resident looking for something?
R36’s care plan dated July 24, 2025 (during the survey) showed R36 had the potential for injury
[marked by] wandering and exit seeking behavior dementia [with] decreased focus and safety awareness
with interventions including hourly visual checks and record, monitor for [signs and symptoms] elopement:
increased agitation, hanging around exits, increased pacing and stated desire to leave, redirect [resident]
as needed- utilize activities as therapeutic distraction, and respond promptly to all door alarms.
The care plan dated December 30, 2021 also showed [R36] is at risk for falls due to decreased mobility,
weakness.

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 ensure a resident's equipment and
environment were free from accident hazards, and failed to ensure a resident with known wandering habits
was supervised to prevent a fall. This failure resulted in the emergent transfer to the hospital for 2 residents
due to fall incidents. This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R25 and R36) reviewed for accidents and supervision
in a sample of 30.
The findings include:
1. R25’s face sheet showed he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including chronic kidney
disease, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gout, dependence of
renal dialysis, lymphedema, osteoarthritis, and hypertension.
R25’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated May 5, 2025, shows R25 is cognitively intact,
non-ambulatory, and requires total assist with transfers with 2 staff members via Hoyer lift. R25’s
latest fall risk assessment (prior to fall on June 13,2025) dated January 25, 2024, states R25 has a history
of multiple falls and is in the high-risk category for falls.
On July 22, 2025, at 10:02 AM, R25 said on June 13, 2025, she was in her room at around 4:00 AM, about
to be wheeled downstairs to dialysis. After being transferred to her dialysis chair/ “geri-chair”
(geriatric chair), staff stepped away from her to get something when R25 felt the backrest of her chair falling
backwards and then felt the chair “give out” from underneath her. R25 said she hit her right
temporal area and right shoulder on the wall. Per R25, she was in pain from being “wedged between
the dialysis chair and the wall.” R25 stated nursing staff used the Hoyer lift to get her up from the
floor and she felt intense neck pain during the transfer since her head was not supported by the mechanical
lift sling. R25 said 911 paramedics arrived after she staff assisted her up to transfer her to the ER
(Emergency Room) for evaluation.
V45 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) completed R25's Post Fall Observation assessment form at 4:15 AM
on June 13, 2025. V45’s progress noted dated June 13,2025, states she saw R25 “tipped
back against the wall with her legs in the air and her head tilted to the right against the wall.” Per
V45, “leaving her (R25) on the floor was not an option due to the [full-body mechanical life] lift being
stuck under the geri-chair.” R25’s June 13, 2025 “Post-Fall Observation”
assessment form showed that resident sustained a fall in her room and was sent to the ER for evaluation.
R25’s “After Visit Summary” from states that resident had a fall resulting in closed
head injury, strain of neck muscle, and contusion of right shoulder.
On June 24, 2025, 5:20 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that she did not investigate or report R25's fall.
A Grievance/Concern Form written by V2, dated 6/13/25, showed that R25's “dialysis chair
malfunctioned while R25 was being transferred from bed to dialysis chair.
Facility’s policy titled, “Fall Prevention and Management” dated June 2025, states it is
the duty of the facility to ensure and maintain a safe environment for residents to reduce the risk of falls,
including those resulting in harm.

finished his shift supervising the TV room when he saw the flashing light above the nurse’s station.
V4 said he was not sure if the light was from the door or a resident pulling the call light out of the wall. V4
said V5 came to him at the nurse’s station and told him to check on the resident she had been
working with and V5 went to address the flashing light. V4 said after he checked on the resident, he went to
the stairwell where V4 was attending to R36, who had fallen. V4 said he had last seen R36 before 7 PM
when she had come to the TV room asking for the exit. V4 said R36 told him she was looking for the police
and asking about her dad. V4 said R36 wandered a lot and went into other residents’ rooms. V4 said
R36 was by the nurse’s station, asking the other nurses if she could get out. V4 said they keep the
residents in the TV room to keep an eye on them. V4 said if residents were out of their room, they should be
in the TV room. V4 said if a wandering resident leaves the TV room, they should be redirected and put back
in the TV room.

cross contamination. The test strips for sanitization should be stored in the original container to verify the
strips and the expiration date. The dishwasher disinfects by temperature and the wash temperature should
reach 160 degrees and the final rinse should reach 180 degrees F to properly disinfect the dishes. Our
policy says it is ok for us to use the 160 degrees F test strip. V32 stated she did not know why the test strip
did not turn black to indicate the desired temperature was reached. Staff should look at the gauge and test
strip to assure the desired disinfecting temperature was reached. V32 stated she was not familiar with the
test strips that were used and should have known those test strips were being used.The facility policy
Machine Washing and Sanitizing dated 2021 states dishwashing machines using hot water for sanitizing
may be used if the temperature of the wash waster is no less than that specified by the manufacturer, which
may vary from 150 degrees F to 165 degrees F, depending on the type of machine, and the final rinse
temperature is no less than 180 degrees F. The final rinse temperature is tested with a paper thermometer.
The paper thermometer turns color when it registers 160-degree F which sanitizes the plates, tableware,
utensils etc. (160 degrees F on the dish or utensil surface reflects 180 degrees F at the manifold where the
temperature of the dishwashing machine final rinse is measure.)The facility policy Sanitation Buckets /
wiping Cloths Food Contact Surfaces and Equipment Too Large To Immerse In The Sink dated 2021 states
using the appropriate test strips, the strength of the sanitizing solution will be tested each time the
sanitization buckets are changed.The facility policy Labeling and Dating Foods dated 2021 states to
decrease the risk of food borne illness and to provide the highest quality, food is labeled with the date
received, the date opened and the date by which the item should be discarded.The facility policy Storage of
Frozen Foods dated 2021 states if food is taken out of its original container the food is tightly wrapped and
labeled with the item name and the use by date. Frozen foods can deteriorate in quality the longer they are
stored. Therefore, frozen foods are best if used within three months. Frozen food is discarded after three
months. Opened products that have not been properly sealed and dated are discarded.The facility policy
Personal Hygiene dated 2021 states keep spare clothes and other personal item away from food
preparation and food storage areas.The facility policy Storage of Dry Goods / Foods dated 2021 states

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 implement transmission-based precautions for
a resident with an acute GI (gastrointestinal infection). The facility also failed to follow contact and
enhanced-barrier precautions and hand-hygiene when providing resident care.This applies to 5 out of 5
residents (R152, R117, R41, R104, and R8) reviewed for infection control in a sample of 30.

resident’s room with a C. diff infection were required to perform strict hand-hygiene with soap and
water not ABHR to ensure the infection could not be spread to others. V2 said she would change
R152’s posted transmission-base contact sign to the correct sign of “Contact Enteric
Precautions.” V2 said she expected all staff and visitors to adhere to the indicated
transmission-based precautions when entering residents’ rooms.
R152's stool result dated [DATE] showed positive results for “C difficile GDH Ag and Toxin A.”
R152’s care plan dated [DATE] said she required “strict contact isolation rt (+) C diff”
initiated on [DATE].

Records) when admitted with or prescribed antibiotics. V13 said the facility determined appropriate
antibiotic use based on the McGeer Criteria and if determined inappropriate the prescribing provider was
notified to ensure safe use.V13 reviewed R152, R75, R117, and R136's EMRs and said they received
antibiotics as prescribed. V13 said their antibiotic review forms were not completed to determine if they met
the McGeer Criteria for appropriate use. On 7/23/2025 at 3:45 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) said she
expected antibiotic surveillance to be completed for all residents receiving antibiotics per facility policy to
ensure safe antibiotic use. V2 said she also reviewed R152, R75, R117, and R136's EMRs and they did not
have their antibiotic review forms initiated.R152's Order Summary Report dated 7/24/2025 showed an
