R71 affirmed R71 was hungry and didn't know why R71 was not served a lunch tray. V41 (Activity Aide) confirmed R71 did not receive a lunch tray, that all other residents were served/eating, and approximately 25% of the residents had already finished eating. V41 was unsure why R71 did not get lunch served to them, stating, I don't know what happened, I don't think a tray came down for (R71). Someone is looking into it and we're getting (R71) a tray.

R13's (11/19/25) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 13 (cognition intact). On 1/12/26 at 10:37 AM, R13 was asked how frequent staff change R13's indwelling urinary catheter bag. R13 stated, It's supposed to be once a week. R13 was asked when R13's catheter bag is changed. R13 responded, When they decide to change it. R13's (January 2026) MAR includes change urinary bag as needed when clinically appropriate, however, nothing is documented. On 1/12/26 at 10:45 AM, V13, Wound Care Coordinator, was asked about the appearance if R1's indwelling urinary catheter. V13 responded, It's white residue. V13 was asked what white residue is indicative of. V13 didn't respond. V13 then asked V14 (LPN) How often the order is to be changed? 3.R4's care plan, dated 12/19/25, states R4 has a nephrostomy bag; intervention states to observe for signs of skin irritation, keep skin clean, dry, and moisturized. On 1/12/26 at 10:40 AM, R4 was observed awake in bed with the nephrostomy drainage bag on top of her abdomen, showing only about one tablespoon of urine in the drainage bag. At 10:55 AM, R4's nephrostomy drainage bag was still in the same position. At this time, V26 (CNA/Certified nurse assistant) she did not know what kind of urine bag it was, but that it should be hanging down on the side of the bed to allow proper drainage. Immediately, V26 brought the drainage bag below R4, about 200 ml(milliliters) of the urine came out into the drainage bag. V27 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated she was not sure what kind of catheter it was and she would go back and check. V27 came back and stated R4 has nephrostomy catheter that is connected directly to the kidney. V27 stated the drainage bag should be placed below the resident to allow gravity drainage and she would educate the CNA to be sure the drainage bag is placed below the level of the kidneys. On 1/12/26 at 12:55 PM, V2(Director of Nursing) stated V27 should have been given shift report that R4 has a nephrostomy tube. V2 added backflow of urine could cause kidney infection, and staff would be re-educated about this. Facility's Policy titled Nephrostomy Management, dated 1/2025, states: Residents with Nephrostomy will receive care consistent with professional standards of practice.#4b: Keep the drainage bag below the level of the kidney at all times. The indwelling catheter care policy (revised 5/2025) states daily and PRN (as needed) catheter care will be done to promote comfort and cleanliness.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to have sufficient staff to provide nursing and related services as determined by assessments, individual plan of care, number of residents, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment. This failure has the potential to affect all 131 residents currently at the facility.The 1/12/26 facility census includes 73 (2nd floor) residents. 1.R1 resides on the 2nd floor. On 1/12/26 at 10:17 AM, R1 was lying atop of a LALM (Low Air Loss Mattress), however, the setting was on static (firm) mode (the setting should be on alternate mode - while lying in bed). Several large white clumps of food were observed on R1's chest. R1 affirmed he was served Grits for breakfast. R1 also affirmed he was unable to move the right upper extremity. R1's indwelling urinary catheter tubing was notably cloudy with chunks of purulent substance floating in the urine and heavy sediment. On 1/12/26 at 10:22 AM, V14, Licensed Practical Nurse, was asked if R1 has any wounds. V14 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, He does have wounds. R1 responded, On my legs. V14 was asked about R1's LALM settings. V14 stated, Wound Care handles the settings. I guess they base it on his (R1's) weight. V14 was asked what static mode indicates on R1's LALM. V14 responded, I'm assuming it alternates the pressure for him. V14 was asked if V14 knows when the LALM static mode should be used. V14 stated, No, I don't and failed to change R1's LALM settings to alternate mode. V14 was asked about the white clumps of food observed on R1's chest. V14 responded, I see he dropped some food on his shirt. R1 replied, I ate some grits today and it fell out the bowl. V14 made no effort to remove the food off R1's chest and/or change his shirt. V14 was asked about the appearance of R1's indwelling urinary catheter and contents in the bag. V14 responded, I see his discoloration, sediment. V14 was asked if R1's catheter bag was dated. V14 removed the bag from the bed rail, raised it above R1's bladder and replied, It's not. V14 was asked if V14 notified the doctor regarding R1's abnormal urine. V14 stated, I haven't, no I didn't call the doctor about that. V14 was asked where catheter/bag changes are documented. V14 responded, Probably under his profile in the progress notes. V14 was asked when R1's urinary catheter was placed and/or bag changed. V14 reviewed R1's EMAR (Electronic Medical Records) to no avail and affirmed he was unsure. 2.R13 resides on the 2nd floor.

V21 was asked what was on the countertop. V21 stated, It looks like soap and food. V21 was asked what was in the sinks. V21 responded, White residue. A large pile of soiled toilet paper with a brown smeared substance was observed on the floor next to the toilet. V21 was asked what was on the toiled toilet paper. V21 replied, The tissue in the corner? It looks like poop. V21 was asked if staff are supposed to monitor residents while in the shower room. V21 stated, They should, yes ma am. The ceramic tiles around the shower drain were notably broken in multiple pieces, some of which were missing, creating a safety hazard. V21 was asked about concerns with the shower tile. V21 responded, There's little broken pieces at the drain. V21 was asked why the shower head was missing in one of the showers. V21 replied, I don't know, its broken. A wet, soiled washcloth was observed dangling from the shower chair. V21 was asked about the washcloth on the shower chair. V21 stated, It looks used. A razor was also observed on the tub. V21 was asked if razors are allowed to be used by residents unsupervised. V21 responded, No. 5.R32 resides on the 2nd floor. On 1/12/26 at 11:27 AM, R32 was lying in bed (on the mattress) and the fitted sheet was at the foot of the bed. R32's modified call light was dangling from a rack and out of reach. R32 reached for the call light to no avail and was unable to reach it. On 1/12/26 at 11:36 AM, V14, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN, was asked about the location of R32's bed sheet. V14 (LPN) stated Well, he moves a lot, so it doesn't stay on his bed. I don't know what they have to rectify that, but it continually comes off the bed. V14 subsequently left R32's room without addressing concerns with R32's sheet and/or providing the call light. 6.R79 resides on the 2nd floor. On 1/12/26 at 11:38 AM, the front of R79's incontinence brief appeared to be saturated and the lines on the front of the brief were dark blue. V14 was asked about R79's brief. V14 (LPN) untaped the brief, lowered it and stated, It looks like he's wet. I'm going to have to send somebody in here to change you, then taped the brief back on the resident and left the room. V14 was asked why R79's diaper was saturated. V14 responded The CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is probably in another person's room doing patient care. R79's g (gastrostomy) tube feeding (Jevity 1.5 Cal) was infusing at 50 ml (milliliters) per hour. R79's Jevity bottle was hung at 12:30am (per container), however, roughly 1300ml were still in the 1500ml container, therefore, only 200ml was infused over the past 11 hours. V14 was asked about R79's Jevity orders. V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, I'm going to have to look at that. V14 was asked if V14 hung R79's Jevity. V14 responded, No, I didn't.

V33 said she is the only nurse scheduled for the 2 units, with 2 Certified nursing assistants (CNAs). Facility rosters indicate there are 25 residents on both floors. Review of daily schedule for 1/12/2026 provided by the facility showed 2 nurses on that floor, one full time and one part time that will start at 11:00AM. On 1/12/2026 at 3:10PM, surveyor asked V33 (RN) if any other nurse came in at 11:00AM on her unit and she said no, she was the only nurse on day shift for both units. V33 added she has been assigned to 25 to 28 residents in the past and that is standard for the facility. On 1/12/2026 at 3:46PM, V2 (DON) said it was only one nurse on the 100 and 200 unit; the other nurse on the schedule was a mistake because she took over from another staff in the 500 unit that went home at 11:00AM. V2 added having one nurse for 25 residents is their normal scheduling, they only have 2 nurses in the 100/200 unit when it is full and that has not happened since she started here in July of 2025.
