This survey cited 24 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the call light was within reach for one (R12) out of four residents reviewed in a total sample of 14 for call lights. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 10/08/24 at 12:05 PM, R12 was observed lying in bed in R12's room. Call light was not visible. Call light was not within R12's reach. Observed yellow sign above R12's bed titled -Fall Precaution Checklist- which listed interventions including but not limited to call light at reach. R12 said, where is the call light? I don't see it. Observed pull string call light on R12's roommate side of the privacy curtain. Observed two strings attached with one long string which reached to R12's roommates bed and the other string was very short. This short string was not long enough to reach R12's side of the room. On 10/08/24 at 12:15 PM, V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated the call lights should be within reach of the resident(s). V12 observed R12 lying in bed. Observed V12 trying to locate R12's call light. V12 went on the other side of R12's privacy curtain and observed the short string attached to the call light. V12 said, something happened to the string, it is too short. It won't reach him (R12). The string needs to be longer. V12 stated the call light should always be within reach of the resident for the resident's safety. V12 stated even if the resident can walk on their own the call light should be within their reach in case the resident falls and cannot get up. On 10/09/24 at 11:42 PM, observed R12 lying in bed in R12's room. Call light not visible. Call light not within R12's reach. R12 said, I cannot reach my call light. On 10/09/24 at 11:45 PM, V5 (Registered Nurse) observed R12's call light out of reach and stated, he cannot reach it and it needs to be made longer. Observed V5 looking for the call light string. V5 observed the very short string attached to the call light on the other side of R12's privacy curtain and noted the string is too short to reach R12. V5 stated the call light should be within reach of the resident so they can get the help they need and the potential problem if the call light is not within reach, the resident could fall. On 10/08/24 at 3:58 PM, V3 (Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) stated the call lights should be within easy reach of the resident so they can pull it when they are need of assistance. V3 stated all call lights should be within reach of the resident even if the resident is ambulatory. V3 stated if a call light is out of reach of a resident, then the resident could be in distress, or be having a life-threatening event or they could have fallen and they would not be able to alert the staff of the need for help. V3 stated this may make the resident feel as if no one cares for them.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to accurately document advanced directives code status for 1 resident (R12) out of a four residents reviewed in a total sample of 14 residents for advance directives. Findings include: R12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R12 has diagnosis which includes but not limited to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Hyperlipidemia, Alcohol Abuse, Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease, Unspecified Psychosis, Major Depressive Disorder, Conversional Disorder with Seizures or Convulsions. R12's MDS (Minimum Data Set) from [DATE] BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score is 06 out of 15 indicating severely impaired cognition On [DATE] at 3:00 PM, surveyor reviewed R12's IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) Uniform Practitioner Order For Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Form signed by V10 (R12's Surrogate), dated [DATE] and documents in part Do Not Attempt Resuscitation/DNR and Selective Treatment: Primary goal of treating medical conditions with selective medical measures. On [DATE] at 3:05 PM, surveyor reviewed R12's Certification of Surrogate Decision-Making Form which documents in part the cause and nature of the qualifying condition Traumatic Brain Injury, Cognitive Impairment, and documents surrogate decision maker as V10 signed and dated [DATE]. On [DATE] at 3:10 PM, surveyor reviewed R12's Face Sheet which documented in part, Advance Directive FULL CODE. On [DATE] at 3:12 PM, surveyor reviewed R12's Order Summary Report which documents in part FULL CODE ordered [DATE]. On [DATE] at 3:15 PM, surveyor reviewed R12's care plans and could not locate care plan for advance directives and/or code status. On [DATE] at 3:28 PM, V10 (R12's Surrogate) stated via phone interview R12's wishes regarding advance directives is Do Not Resuscitate with Selective Treatment. V10 stated R12 does not want any heroic means to keep R12 alive, no CPR, but would consider use of antibiotics and hospitalization if recommended. V10 stated V10 keeps a copy of R12's POLST form at V10's home and stated R12's POLST form was revised and signed on [DATE]. V10 stated the POLST form was redone [DATE] when R12 was in the hospital and that prior to this R12 was full code. On [DATE] at 2:55 PM, V4 (Registered Nurse) stated a resident's code status is listed in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in the Resident Profile and physician orders. V4 stated V4 is taking care of R12 today. V4 reviewed R12's EHR and stated R12 is a FULL CODE which would mean V4 would administer CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) if indicated. On [DATE] at 4:00 PM, V3 (Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) stated the resident's wishes (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 146167 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 35 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 146167 B.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few regarding code status on the POLST form should be followed as written per family/guardian preference and should also match the doctor's order in the EHR. V3 stated this is to make sure everyone is on the same page and there should be no conflicts. V3 stated this is important to make sure the resident preferences are being followed regarding code status. V3 stated it would be a problem if there is a discrepancy between the code status listed on the POLST form to that code status listed on the face sheet and physician order sheet because the potential is that the nurse could administer CPR when the resident's wishes is for DNR. On [DATE], 4:15 PM, V3 stated POLST forms for the residents who have them are kept in a book in the nursing station. Surveyor and V3 reviewed Advance Directives binder located at the nursing station and could not find a copy of R12's POLST form. V3 stated if R12 has a POLST form it should be kept in that binder, so the nurses have easy access to it and can cross check it with the information in R12's EHR. V3 stated the Advance Directive binder needed to be updated. Facility policy titled, Advance Directives dated [DATE] documents in part the purpose of this policy is to reflect residents wishes about receiving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and life sustaining treatment such as medical interventions and artificial administration nutrition. It allows a resident, in consultation with their healthcare professional, to decide an (in) advance about CPR and other life sustaining decisions in the event the residents breathing and or heartbeat stop or they are at the end of life. At the time of admission residents will be interviewed regarding their code status and or preference and will be documented in their electronic health record. Facility policy titled, In-House DNR Policy undated, documents in part, it is the facility's policy to ensure that residents who DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) receive no resuscitation when found without vital signs.

On 10/10/24 at 10:14am V17 (MDS-Minimum Data Set/Care Plan coordinator, LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse) was interviewed and stated the following: (V17) has been working in the facility for 2 years. Care plans (CP) are done or developed for every resident and should be individualized according to resident's needs/problem. A care plan is important so staff know what kind of care or treatment the resident needs. If there is no care plan, staff might not know how much care the resident's needs. Care plans are completed by the interdisciplinary team. Seizure diagnosis needs to be care planned. Residents on psychotropic medication, a CP should be done by category of psychotropic medications (separate care plan for antidepressant, antipsychotic, antianxiety, hypnotic medication) because each medication has different side effects and should have different interventions. Advance directives should be care planned. Staff need to know the code status of the resident. A CP includes interventions on how to care for the residents. EHR (electronic health records) were reviewed with V17. V17 was unable to locate a plan for advance directive for R1, R8, R28 and R39. No care plan found for antipsychotic or antianxiety medication use for R39. Facility's policy for care plan, comprehensive person-centered (undated) documented in part: A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. The interdisciplinary team (IDT), in conjunction with the resident and his / her family or legal representative, develops and implements a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident. The care plan interventions are derived from a thorough analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment.

This failure has the potential to affect 19 ambulatory residents residing in the facility (R12, R32, R33, R6, R22, R17, R19, R4, R35, R9, R39, R30, R37, R27, R28, R31, R13, R20, R10). Findings Include: On 10/08/24 at 9:47AM, observed emergency crash cart parked in the hallway easily accessible to anyone walking by the front lobby and the nurses' station. The emergency crash cart was not locked and some of the items found inside were intravenous (IV) line kits, multiple sizes needles, oxygen tubing, and four 1 Liter IV fluid bags. On 10/08/24 at 10:28 AM, V4 (Registered Nurse) and V5 (Registered Nurse) stated the night shift nurse checks the emergency crash cart. V4 stated that the cart is supposed to be locked. V4 and V5 stated they do not know how long the cart has been unlocked. Both denied unlocking it. Both stated any resident can potentially access what's inside if it's not locked and it would be a safety issue if a resident was to access the needles. On 10/08/24 at 10:45 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated that the emergency crash cart is supposed to be locked when not in use, but the facility has no lock for it. V3 stated, V2 (Assistant Administrator) is in the process of ordering a new one. When I came in August it did not have a lock. We put a temporary lock, but it did not work. The IV fluids, needles, gowns, blood glucose machine, and oxygen tubing are inside the crash cart. I check it when I'm here. The nurses should be checking it every shift. We don't have a lock for it. The residents do not touch it. If a resident walks by it and opens it, then that would be a potential safety hazard. They could get the needles out of the cart, and they can open up the IV fluids and take it to their room. Out of 38 residents from the facility's residents' roster dated 10/08/24, restorative provided a list of residents who are ambulatory, and it revealed a total of 19 residents. The facility's Crash Cart policy and procedure (no date) documents in part: The crash cart will be locked at all times to ensure that all supplies are available during the course of a medical emergency. The crash cart will be checked daily to ensure that the crash cart lock is intact. If the lock is not intact the nurse will verify that all supplies are present in the crash cart and then relock the cart. Any time that the crash cart is used for a medical emergency, the crash cart will be restocked and relocked as soon as possible.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 provide and follow menus and recipes to ensure menu variety for three (R2, R5, R15) out of three residents reviewed for pureed menus in a final sample of 14. Findings Include: On 10/08/24 at 10:20 AM, V14 (AM Cook) stated there are no recipes in the kitchen to follow for pureed diet consistencies. V13 (Dietary Manager) stated the kitchen does not follow any production or spreadsheets and that the cooks know how to prepare and what to serve different diets because they have been working here a long time. On 10/08/24 at 12:55 PM, observed regular diets receiving Hawaiian Chicken with pineapple, white rice, broccoli, and fruit cocktail. Residents on pureed diets appeared to receive pureed white meat, mashed potatoes, pureed green vegetable and pureed canned fruit. On 10/09/24 at 11:15 AM, observed V14 prepare pureed food for lunch. V14 stated residents on a regular and mechanical soft diet are receiving spaghetti with meatballs in tomato sauce, mixed vegetables, cornbread, and chocolate water cookies. V14 stated residents on a pureed diet are receiving pureed meatballs in tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, pureed mixed vegetables and applesauce. V14 stated V14 does not puree the spaghetti for the pureed diets because the pureed spaghetti is ick so that is why V14 is serving mashed potatoes to the pureed diets. V14 stated V14 does not puree rice either and that yesterday when the regular and mechanical soft diet received rice the pureed diets all received mashed potatoes. V14 stated the pureed diets are also not receiving pureed cornbread today, only the regular and mechanical soft diets are getting cornbread. On 10/09/24 at 12:20 PM, V15 (PM Cook) stated V15 is the cook that made dinner for the residents on 10/08/24. V15 stated residents on regular diets received chili dogs, tater tots, and applesauce and the residents on pureed diets received mashed potatoes, pureed string beans, pureed chicken patty and applesauce. V15 stated V15 always gives residents on pureed diets mashed potatoes at every meal. V15 stated V15 does not puree tater tots, or potato wedges, Au Gratin potatoes, rice, or spaghetti. V15 stated on evening meals when the regular and mechanical soft diets are receiving cold sandwiches for dinner V15 does not give the pureed diets pureed a cold sandwich, V15 substitutes a hot meal (pureed meat, pureed hot vegetable and mashed potatoes). On 10/09/24 at 12:38 PM, V13 stated residents on pureed diets should receive the same food that the regular diets receive only in pureed form when possible. V13 stated the kitchen does not puree corn, beans, rice, raw vegetables, or processed meats. V13 stated there are no recipes for pureed foods available in the kitchen for the cooks to follow. V13 stated last night on 10/08/24 the regular and mechanical soft diets received chili dogs, tater tots and applesauce for the dinner meal. V13 stated the residents on pureed diets get whatever the kitchen has available which is usually leftovers from two days ago assuming they did not have that already to eat. V13 stated the cooks do not have anything to follow like a spreadsheet or production sheet but the cooks know the pureed diets need a starch, a vegetable and protein and a dessert so it is up to the cook to determine what they want to serve the pureed diets for a particular meal based on food availability. V13 stated residents on pureed diets get mashed potatoes at every lunch and dinner every day. V13 said, they must get tired of receiving the same thing every day.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few always been done here. V13 stated applesauce was given to the pureed diets today, not pureed cookies and the pureed diets received applesauce last night for their dessert at dinner so the pureed diets received applesauce 2 days in a row which is not varied menu. V13 stated the cornbread was not pureed because it probably doesn't puree up well. On 10/09/24 at lunch meal observed regular diets receiving spaghetti with meatballs in tomato sauce, cornbread, mixed vegetables, and sandwich wafer cookies. Residents on pureed diets received pureed meatballs, mashed potatoes, pureed mixed vegetables and applesauce. Pureed diets did not receive pureed cornbread, pureed cookies, or pureed spaghetti. On 10/10/24 at 11:52 AM, V6 (Registered Dietitian) stated the menus have been created to ensure nutritionally adequacy and the menus should be followed to make sure the residents receive a variety of different foods. V6 stated residents should not receive the same foods over and over so they do not get bored getting the same items. V6 stated the cooks should be following the menus and recipes, and it is not okay for the cook to make substitutions on their own they would need to be approved by V6. V6 stated the potential problems if the kitchen staff are not following a menu and recipe is that the residents may not be getting enough calories, protein, or micronutrients and this could also cause problems with menu variety. V6 stated when the cooks are preparing pureed foods, they should be following a recipe. V6 stated basically you can puree any regular item as long as it reaches a pureed consistency (no lumps, or pieces or participles). V6 stated residents receiving a purred diet should receive same food as regular just in pureed form assuming the item can be safely pureed. V6 stated items such as rice, spaghetti, tater tots, hotdogs, cornbread can all be pureed with the right preparation which is why it is important for the cooks to follow recipes. Residents on pureed diets should not receive mashed potatoes with lunch and dinner every day or applesauce back-to-back for dessert because they should have a more variety of foods in their meals.

R25 received meatballs served in tomato sauce over spaghetti, mixed vegetables (potatoes, carrots/green beans), and corn bread. R25 consumed 100% of the meal. Residents Affected - Some On 10/09/24 at 3:22 PM, V15 (PM Cook) stated R25 used to be on a renal diet but R25 is done with R25's treatments so R25 is not on that special diet anymore. V15 stated right now R25 is not on any dietary restrictions. V15 stated R25's diet card says renal diet, but it says that because it hasn't been changed yet to regular diet which is what the kitchen is giving R25. V15 stated the kitchen staff used to follow a list posted in the kitchen which listed the foods R25 could and could not be served but the list has been removed now because R25 is not on any diet restrictions anymore. V15 stated a renal diet is not allowed fish, or salt but V15 is not sure of what else the renal diet is not allowed. On 10/09/24 at 3:30 PM, V13 (Dietary Manager) stated R25 is on a regular diet with no dietary restrictions. V13 stated R25's meal ticket lists renal diet but the renal diet was discontinued when R25 stopped dialysis and the kitchen just never changed R25's meal ticket. V13 stated when R25 was on a renal diet, there was a list posted which said what foods R25 was allowed and what R25 was not allowed to eat so the kitchen staff would know what R25 could and could not have. V13 stated verbally one of the nurses told V13 that R25's renal diet was discontinued but V13 does not remember the name of the nurse or when this happened. V13 stated V13 pulled the list that used to be posted in the kitchen so the kitchen staff does not restrict R25's diet, but V13 did not update R25's meal ticket to reflect the change to regular diet but everyone in the kitchen knows R25 is no longer on that diet anymore.

On 10/10/24 at 11:15 AM, V20 (Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V20 fed R15 breakfast this morning and R15 consumed 100% water thickened to nectar consistency. V20 stated V20 knows R15 should get thickened liquids because it was communicated to V20 verbally by the other staff. V20 stated it does not say that R15 requires thickened liquids on R15's meal card. On 10/10/24 at 11:25 AM, V13 (Dietary Manager) stated R15 requires nectar thickened liquids, R5 does not. V13 stated R5 receives thin liquids. V13 stated it is the nursing staff's responsibility to let V13 know about any changes to resident's diet orders. V13 stated V13 was not aware that R5 has an order for nectar thick liquids and R15 has an order for thin liquids. On 10/10/24 at 12:08 PM, V6 (Registered Dietitian) stated diet orders are physician generated and should be followed as ordered. V6 stated each resident has a meal ticket which list the diet order including therapeutic restrictions, food/liquid consistency, and any special requests such as likes/dislikes or food allergies. V6 stated it is dietary departments responsibility to make sure the diet orders in the electronic health record (EHR) match the diet orders listed on the resident's meal tickets including their diet consistency, liquid consistency, and therapeutic diet order. It is important for the meal tickets to be correct because this tells the kitchen and nursing staff what food/liquids to serve the resident. V6 stated if there is a discrepancy, there is the potential for the resident to receive the wrong diet. V6 stated if a resident has a doctor order for a pureed diet but receives mechanical soft a resident could choke. V6 stated if a resident on nectar thick liquids receives thin this could cause aspiration and lead to pneumonia. V6 stated if a resident is receiving thickened liquids but they have an order for thin liquids there is no medical risk, but it could create a palatability issue. V6 stated if a resident does not need to be on thickened liquids, they should not receive it. V6 stated residents on a renal diet should not have been given spaghetti with meatballs in a tomato sauce because tomatoes are high in potassium and if you have impaired kidney function then the ability to metabolize potassium is decreased which can cause potassium to build up. V6 stated even though R25 is no longer receiving dialysis V6 would not take R25 off the renal diet unless the doctor ordered to liberalize the diet. V6 stated R25 should have received spaghetti with plain meatballs, not in any tomato sauce.

Opened 30-Fluid Ounce glass bottle Barbeque Marinade 50% full with manufacturer best by date 04/24/24 printed on the side of the bottle. No opened date labeled on the item. V13 stated the Marinade sauce was used on chicken served to the residents last week for a cookout. V13 viewed the best by date of 04/24/24 printed on the side of the bottle and said, I would still use this for residents because the vinegar inside it would kill any bacteria in the marinate. 2.) Opened 1-gallon Golden Italian Dressing labeled with an open date of 10/04/24. Item was not labeled with a use by date. 3.) Opened 1-gallon Honey Mustard Dressing labeled with an open date 09/24/24.

Residents Affected - Many Opened 64-ounce plastic container Mayonnaise. Not labeled with an opened date. On 10/08/24 at 9:50 AM, V13 stated those items in the Reach-In Refrigerator not labeled are used so frequently that labeling them with a use by date is not necessary because V13 said, we go through the items quickly. On 10/08/24 at 9:55 AM, when touring the dry storage room, V13 stated all items must be labeled with a delivery date and the items are organized according to First In, First Out (FIFO). V13 stated FIFO means the newest or most recently delivered item is stored in the back and the oldest item is stored in the front. V13 stated this is important to rotate the food items so that the older items are used first. On 10/08/24 at 9:58 AM, observed the following items in the dry storage room: 1.) #10 can Dark Red Kidney Beans - not labeled with delivery date. V13 stated V13 knows when that was delivered but the delivery date should be written on the can. 2.) #10 can Diced Beets - not labeled with delivery date. V13 stated the delivery date should be written on the can. 3.) 5 of 6 - #10 cans Cut Waxed Beans labeled with delivery date 08/29/24 and 1 of 6 #10 can Cut Waxed Beans labeled with delivery date 04/18/24. The can dated 04/18/24 was in the very back behind the cans dated 08/29/24. V13 stated the can dated 04/18/24 should be in the front so it is used before the other cans dated 08/29/24. 4.) Separate bins filled with Breadcrumbs, Farina, Parboiled Rice, Oatmeal, Flour, Sugar. None of the bins were labeled with the item name, open or use by dates. V13 stated since there are no labels on the bin items you cannot tell when they were opened and the potential problem with that is the kitchen could be using items over the expiration date without realizing it. On 10/08/24 at 10:06 AM, V13 stated spices are good for two years.

V15 had a mustache and beard which was not covered with a beard protector or any type of covering. V15 stated V15 is not wearing a beard protector over V15's beard right now because V15 is doing the meal tickets and emptying the garbage. V15 stated V15 only wears the beard protector when V15 is dealing with food, not necessarily every time V15 enters the kitchen. On 10/09/24 at 3:20 PM, observed V15 in the kitchen walking around food prep area in front of the oven with uncovered food on the stove. V15 stated V15 is preparing the food for the dinner meal tonight. V15 had a mustache and beard which was not covered with a beard protector or any type of covering. On 10/09/24 at 3:30 PM, V13 stated hair and beard restraints should be put on before crossing the threshold into the kitchen regardless of whether or not someone is handling food. V13 stated the kitchen is currently out of beard protectors and in the meantime, the kitchen is using the white hairnets in place of the beard protectors. V13 stated any facial hair needs to be covered regardless of the length. V13 stated the purpose of wearing hair coverings including beard protectors is to prevent hair from falling into the food because this would contaminate the food. V13 stated V15 is the only staff down in the kitchen right now and is the cook on duty so V15 is working with food and should have a beard protector or white hairnet over V15's beard. On 10/10/24 at 11:45 AM, V6 (Registered Dietitian) stated labeling and dating are important so the kitchen staff is aware of when a food item is expired so it is not served to the residents. V6 stated serving food after the best by or used by date to the residents could potentially cause an overgrowth in bacteria which could lead to food borne illness. V6 stated food items should have a receive date (delivery date), and then once opened labeled with an opened and a use by date or expiration date. V6 stated if the items are not labeled with an open or use by date the staff won't know when the items are no longer any good and when they should be discarded.

F 0813 Have a policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to label and date food items in resident personal refrigerators and failed to discard unlabeled/undated spoiled foods in resident personal refrigerators. This has the potential to effect one resident (R29) out of four residents reviewed for personal food storage in a total sample of 14. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 10/08/24 at 11:25 AM, observed personal refrigerator in R29's room next to R29's bed. R29 gave surveyor permission to look inside R29's refrigerator. R29 said, I cannot reach inside the refrigerator, so I don't know what's in there. R29 stated R29 likes to buy himself food from outside the facility. Observed the following items inside R29's refrigerator: 1.) Opened one-pound plastic container of Turkey Bologna 50% full, not labeled or dated with an open or use by date. The turkey bologna had a sour, off-putting smell to it. 2.) Opened plastic container of hotdogs with two hot dogs left in the package. The plastic wrapping was covered in black to dark gray spots and the two hotdogs were discolored with a green tint to them. The container was not labeled or dated with an open or use by date. 3.) Opened 32-ounce container of Almond Milk 80% full, not labeled or dated with an open or use by date. The container had manufacturer guidelines printed as follows refrigeration not needed before opening, once opened refrigerate 7-10 days. On 10/08/24 at 11:35 AM, R29 stated R29 did not realize the hotdogs and turkey bologna were still in R29's refrigerator. R29 stated R29 buys food but cannot open or reach items because R29 does not have enough hand strength. R29 stated no one ever told R29 that the food inside R29's refrigerator should be labeled and dated. R29 said, see? I keep markers on the side on my refrigerator which can be used to label my food. R29 stated R29 did not know the almond milk should be discarded once it is opened after 10 days. R29 said, thank you for telling me that. On 10/08/24 at 11:46 AM, V13 (Dietary Manager) stated V13 is responsible for checking the resident's personal refrigerators daily to check the temperatures inside the refrigerators and to look for any old or expired foods. V13 stated the items inside should be dated but it is not V13's responsibility to date them. V13 stated the food items inside should be dated because otherwise staff have no way of knowing how long an item has been inside the refrigerator or when to throw away the item so residents do not eat the spoiled food which could potentially make the residents sick.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to handle linen in a manner to prevent cross contamination, failed to conduct an annual review of its infection control policy and procedures, failed to post Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) signage outside 2 residents (R21, R38) rooms with active wounds, and failed to have measures to prevent the growth of Legionella and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens in building water systems. These failures could potentially affect all 38 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings Include: R21's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 9/1/24 to 9/30/24 shows R21 has venous wound of the left lateral leg with daily treatment. Progress note dated 10/10/24 documents in part: R21 on ABT Doxycycline 100mg PO bid x 10 days wound infection on the left leg. R38's TAR dated 10/1/24 to 10/31/24 shows R38 has treatment to lower legs every shift for skin infection. On 10/08/24 10:48 AM, R21 is obserevd lying in bed with left leg wound. No signage of EPB on R21's door. On 10/08/24 10:46 AM, R38 is observed in bed with skin peeling on both legs. No enhanced barrier precaution (EBP) signage on R38's door. On 10/08/24 at 10:50 AM, V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) signage should be posted outside the door of any resident with wounds, Feeding tube, Foley Catheter, and central line. V4 stated it is important to have EBP signage to ensure that staff are wearing the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required before providing care for R21 and R38. 10/08/24 at 12:13 PM, surveyor V3 (Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist) observed R21 and R38's door without the EBP signage. V3 stated that R21, and R38 have wounds, there should be a EBP signage by the door to alert staff to know the type of PPE to wear before providing care to R21, and R38. V3 stated that not having the signage by R21, and R38's door, is a potential for transmission of infection. On 10/08/24 at 12:08 PM, surveyor reviewed the water management area with V16 (maintenance Director). Surveyor asked V16 for measures in place to prevent the growth of Legionella. V16 stated V16 is not sure, and V16 could not provide any documentation. V16 stated V16 will ask V1. On 10/09/24 at 1:01 PM, V1(Administrator) stated that Legionella is checked yearly, and V1 has not checked for Legionella this year. V1 stated that the last time the water was checked for Legionella was 1/11/23 which is over one year. V1 stated that V1 will call the company to come over later. V1 stated that failure to perform an annual check for Legionella, is a potential for waterborne infection.
