by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure interventions
that would promote safe storage and safe selfadministration of drugs were implemented in
accordance to the facility's policy and
procedure affecting for one of 26 sampled

from different fields working together to provide
the best outcomes for each resident) indicated,
"The Interdisciplinary Team has determined
that it is not safe for the resident to selfadminister drugs. Describe reasons: resident
prefers for licensed staff to administer
medications."
During an observation on April 11, 2019, at
2:03 PM, in Resident 13's room, Resident 13
had a cup of pills in his left hand. Resident 13
picked up a white pill from the medicine cup
and stated, "I don't know what this white pill is
for." The cup of pills did not have a label
indicating the type of pill or the date and time
when the pills were to be administered.
Resident 13 removed a bottle of gingko biloba
(medication supplement to improve memory)
from his drawer and took a pill and swallowed it
along with the other pills in the cup.
During an interview with Resident 13, on April
11, 2019, at 2:20 PM, Resident 13 stated the
nurse had given him the cup of pills and left.
Resident 13 further stated the facility had not
provided him a place to safely store his pills.

pills. LVN 8 stated she had an emergency and
left Resident 13's room. She stated she forgot
to go back to Resident 13's room to see if he
actually took the cup of pills she prepared. She
stated she did not know Resident 13 had a
bottle of gingko biloba in his bedside drawer.

stated, the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) had
determined Resident 13 could not safely selfadminister his medications.
During a record review and concurrent
interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor
(RN/Sup), on April 12, 2019, at 8:14 AM, the
RN/Sup stated the "Self-Administration of
Drugs" assessment, dated July 18, 2018, was
the most recent assessment. The RN/Sup
stated a plan of care had not been developed
because the IDT had not determined Resident
13 was safe to self-administer his medications.
The RN/Sup further stated there was no
physician order indicating which drugs
Resident 13 could self-administer. The RN/Sup
stated the medication should not have been left
at Resident 13's bedside.
The facility policy and procedure titled "Policy
and Procedure on Self-Administration of Drugs"
dated October 2014, indicated Policy: It shall
be this facility's policy to assess resident upon
admission or readmission to determine if
resident wants to self-administer drugs and if
resident can safely self-administer. Procedure:
4. If resident requests to self-administer drugs
and members of the Interdisciplinary Team
considers resident having the ability to safely
self-administer drugs, then a physician order
reflecting which drugs or medications a
resident may self-administer shall be obtained.

2. Resident 34's MDS dated February 26,
2019, inaccurately indicated the resident had a
foley catheter (a thin, sterile tube inserted into
the bladder to drain urine).
3. Resident 79's MDS dated March 29, 2019,
inaccurately indicated the resident was taking
an anticoagulant medication (medication used
to prevent the formation of blood clots and
maintain open blood vessels.)
These failures in MDS coding had the potential
to result in unmet care needs for Residents 7,
34 and 79, which could potentially jeopardize
their health and safety.
Findings:
1. During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 7, the "Record of Admission
(demographic and medical information)"
indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the
facility on July 18, 2017, with diagnoses of
hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a
cerebral infarction (stroke-blockage or
narrowing of blood flow in the brain) affecting
non-dominate side, hypertension (high blood
pressure), and syncope and collapse (fainting).
During a review of Resident 7's
"Interdisciplinary Team Conference Notes (IDTa healthcare team from different fields working
together to provide the best outcomes for each
resident)", dated January 9, 2019, indicated the
IDT had conducted a bedside conference with
Resident 7, and had discussed the plan of care
regarding Resident 7's "CVA and left sided
weakness."
During an observation on April 8, 2019, at
10:03 AM, in the smoking area, Resident 7 was
sitting in a wheelchair smoking a cigarette.

A review of Resident 79's current physicians
orders, dated March 1, 2019 through March 31,
2019, indicated Resident 79 did not have a
physician's order for an anticoagulant during
the time of the completion of the MDS.
A review of Resident 79's weekly nursing
progress notes dated March 1, 2019 through
March 31, 2019, did not indicate an
anticoagulant was administered to Resident 79
under the section "Current Medications".
During a record review and concurrent
interview with the Minimum Data Set Nurse 1,
on April 14, 2019, at 8:33 AM, she reviewed the
clinical record for Resident 79 and was unable
to find evidence that an anticoagulant was
administered to the resident in March 2019.
Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 stated the MDS
dated March 29, 2019, incorrectly indicated the
resident was taking an anticoagulant
medication.
During a record review and concurrent
interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON), on April 12, 2019, at 9:57 AM, She
reviewed the clinical record for Resident 79 and
stated there was no evidence the resident was
taking an anticoagulant and the MDS, dated
March 29, 2019, was incorrect.

review assessments.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to implement a revised
comprehensive person-centered care plan (an
individualized plan of care written for residents
to guide staff in implementing interventions for
identified concerns) to prevent further low blood
sugar events for one of 26 sampled residents
(Resident 82).
This failure resulted in no documented
interventions to prevent an avoidable low blood
sugar event which resulted in a peripheral
intravenous (IV-within the vein) access site
inserted below the arteriovenous fistula (a
surgical access site formed by the joining of a
vein and an artery in the arm) on the left arm
for hemodialysis (a process of purifying the
blood whose kidneys are not working normally).
Resident 82 received a second dose of
Dextrose 50 % (percentage) through an IVP
(intravenous push- a bolus of fluid through an
IV line, administered all at once) for
neurological impairment, altered level of
consciousness, inability to swallow oral
glucose, and cold and clammy skin.
Findings:
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 82, the "Record of Admission
(demographic and medical information)"
indicated Resident 82 was admitted to the
facility on March 18, 2019, with diagnoses of
diabetes mellitus (abnormal blood
sugar/glucose control) with hypoglycemia (low
blood sugar), end stage renal disease (kidney
disease), dependence on renal dialysis
(machine-artificial kidneys to purifying the
blood), and difficulty in walking.

outside of her room. Resident 82 started to cry
and stated she did not want to die. Resident 82
was wearing a gray long sleeve blouse that
covered her arms and extended over the left

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure treatment
and services were provided in accordance to
the facility's policy and procedure for two of 26
sampled residents (Residents 7 and 86) when:
1. For Resident 7, a smoking protective apron
and supervision was not provided when the
quarterly smoking assessment and care plan
indicated Resident 7 could not safely light and
hold a cigarette in her left hand due to
hemiplegia (unable to move one side of the
body).
These failures placed Resident 7 at a greater
risk for injury, such as skin burns.
2. For Resident 86, Restorative Nursing
Services (RNA) was not provided in
accordance to the physician's order.
This failure had the potential to worsen
Resident 86's hand contractures (abnormal
stiffness) that could negatively affect Resident
86's highest practicable level of health and
well-being.

§483.25(d) Accidents.
The facility must ensure that §483.25(d)(1) The resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as is
possible; and
§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the resident
environment remained free of hazards when
water temperatures within the facility reached
136.6 °F (Fahrenheit - unit of measure for
temperature) in areas where hot water was
accessible to residents. This failure lead to
unsafe hot water temperatures which had the
potential to cause severe burns and scalding to
a vulnerable population of 103 Residents.

On April 12, 2019, at 8:46 AM, during the
recertification survey, a surveyor returned from
using the common restroom located near
Nurses Station 2 and across from Room 28.

assessed for burns and/or scalding and the
staff member who manually overrode the
automatic shutoff temperature control safety
valve, was given directives to never override
the water safety valve. Additionally, an inservice was conducted with all staff members
instructing them to report to the maintenance
department, any water temperatures that feel
too hot.
During a follow up interview with the ADMIN,
on April 15, 2019, at 9:46 AM, the ADMIN
stated she was shocked the MS was manually
adjusting the water temperature on the water
heaters and increasing the temperature above
the safety guidelines indicated by the state.
She further stated it is not ok to override the
automatic shutoff temperature control safety
valve and increase the water temperature of
the boilers because it can cause burns to the
residents.
During an interview with the ADON on April 15,

The facility must ensure that residents who
require dialysis receive such services,
consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, and the residents' goals and
preferences.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide
communication to the dialysis center for one of
26 sampled residents (Resident 82) when
Resident 82 had a hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar) event.
This failed practice had the potential for unmet
coordination of care between the facility and
dialysis center, which had the potential to
jeopardize Resident 82's health, safety and
welfare.
Findings:
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 82, the "Record of Admission
(demographic and medical information)"
indicated Resident 82 was admitted to the
facility on March 18, 2019, with diagnoses of
diabetes mellitus (abnormal blood
sugar/glucose control) with hypoglycemia, end
stage renal disease (kidney disease),
dependence on renal dialysis (machine-artificial
kidneys to purifying the blood), and difficult in
walking.
During an observation and concurrent interview
with Resident 82, on April 11, 2019, at 10:07
AM, Resident 82 was sitting in the wheelchair
outside of her room. Resident 82 was alert,
oriented (to place, time, and place), and started
to cry. Resident 82 stated she did not want to
die. Resident 82 was wearing a gray long

extended over the left wrist. Resident 82 stated
she had an IV line in her "left arm". Resident 82
lifted up the blouse and the IV site was
observed on the lower part of her left arm and
above the hand. Resident 82 lifted her blouse
further and the AV-shunt was viewed. Resident
82 stated the "kidney doctor (nephrologist)" had
indicated she was not to have a blood pressure
or blood drawn from the left arm. Resident 82
stated, "I protect this arm." Resident 82 stated
she was worried about the AV-shunt
malfunctioning due to the IV line in her left arm.
Resident 82 stated she had requested the
facility to remove the IV line but the facility did
not. Resident 82 stated the facility said the IV
line would be removed before she went to the
dialysis center.
During a telephone interview with the Dialysis
Registered Nurse Supervisor (DSRN), on April
15, 2019, at 9:58 AM, the DSRN stated the
facility had not communicated the change in
Resident 82's health status when the IV line
was accessed in the same extremity where the
AV-shunt was located, the altered level of
consciousness, the low blood sugar, or the
dextrose (sugar) administration. The DSRN
stated the "Dialysis Medical Director" should
have been informed that the extremity where
the AV-shunt was located had been used to
administer fluids. The DSRN stated the facility
did not follow the contract agreement titled
"Nursing Home Dialysis Transfer Agreement"
dated 2018, for providing treatment information
to the dialysis center including medications and
any changes in the resident's condition
(physical or mental) to ensure proper care was
provided for Resident 82.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure a licensed
nurse administered medication as ordered by
the physician for one of 26 sampled residents
(Resident 68) when an ipratropium bromide 0.5
milligram (mg-unit of measurement) and
albuterol sulfate 3 mg (a combination of two
drugs used to treat and prevent wheezing and
shortness of breath-SOB) inhalation solution
(solution of medication in the form of a mist
inhaled into the lungs.) was administered to the
resident instead of albuterol sulfate 2.5 mg
inhalation solution sulfate.
This failure had the potential to alter the
desired effect of the medication and
administering the wrong medication could
jeopardize the health and well-being of the
resident.
Findings:
During a medication administration observation
on April 10, 2019, at 5:33 AM, Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) removed the
ipratropium bromide and albuterol sulfate
solution from the bottom drawer of the Station
3's medication cart and poured the solution into
the medicine nebulizer (med neb - a drug
delivery device used to administer the medicine
in the form of a mist inhaled in to the lungs)
and administered the medication to Resident
68.
During a review of Resident 68's clinical record,

During an interview and concurrent observation
on April 8, 2019, at 11:55 AM, DC 1 did not add

did not add broth because only white rice
needed the broth and he served the wild rice.
When the surveyor asked the CDM if the menu
indicated that both types of rice were supposed
to have 1 ounce of broth added, he stated he
did not think so and he would get confirmation
from the company that provided the menus.

A review of the email correspondence from the
company that provided the menu, dated April 9,
2019, at 3:38 PM, indicated "We have spoken
with our Menu Development team ...we added
1 oz of broth to all rice for Mech [mechanical]
Soft to add moisture and especially to cover
instances with poorly rice execution ..." in
response to the CDM asking why does the
steam white rice require 1 oz of broth for
mechanical soft diet.
During an interview with the RD on April 10,
2019, at 9:58 AM, when the surveyor reviewed
the e-mail with her from the provider of the
menus that indicated all mechanical soft diets
received broth with rice, she stated she would
let the cooks make the decision if rice needed
broth or gravy and she trusted the CDM to
ensure cooks were trained about the correct
safe moisture of food for mechanical soft diets.
She added there might not be documentation
for this training.
The facility was unable to provide documented
evidence of dietary cook training and
comprehensive evaluation/testing on
determining appropriate moisture of
mechanically altered food when dietary cooks
are independently making the decision to omit
a food item on the menu spreadsheet.
The facility's policy and procedure titled
"Menus" revised October 2008, indicated
"Menus shall ...c) be followed."
c. Over the course of the survey, it was found
that ambient temperature tuna salad was made

2019, at 10:04 AM, she stated she expected for
dietary staff to know where to look if they are
unsure of the cool down procedure. The RD
further stated the facility rarely performs the
cool down procedure as they discard any
unused food items daily. She stated she would
not expect staff to perform the cool down
procedure on leftover tuna salad prepared with
ambient temperature canned tuna that was
placed in the refrigerator because "it's not a hot
item to begin with."
A review of the facility's "Cool Down Log" dated
January 2019 through March 2019 read
"Examples of potentially hazardous food to be
monitored ...cold sandwich fillings such as tuna
or egg salad ..."
The Federal Food Code, dated 2017, indicated

The facility must provide sufficient support
personnel to safely and effectively carry out the
functions of the food and nutrition service.
§483.60(b) A member of the Food and Nutrition
Services staff must participate on the
interdisciplinary team as required in §
483.21(b)(2)(ii).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the
competency of staff when:
1. A Dietary Aide (DA 2) did not demonstrate
appropriate knowledge on the use of the
sanitization bucket;
2. A Dietary Aide (DA 3) did not know the
correct procedure when using the threecompartment sink; and
3. A Dietary Cook (DC 1) did not know the
appropriate cool down procedures.
These failures had the potential to lead to food
borne illness in an already compromised
universe of 103 residents who ate food from
the kitchen out of facility's total census of 104.
Findings:
1. The Dietary Aide (DA 2) stated in the event
the [Brand Name] multi-quat sanitizer solution
(a sanitizer solution used to sanitize foodcontact surface areas such as countertops)
remained out of range after testing the strength
twice, she would use the facility's backup

another two capfuls of bleach; for a total of
three capfuls, to the solution in the sanitizer
bucket. The DA 2 was observed retesting the

sanitizer bucket is two gallons and the dietary
staff would add only two capfuls of bleach

using appropriate equipment and supplies to
evaluate the safe operation of ... the washing of
pots and pans (e.g ... appropriate chemical test
strips ...) was a function that she was expected
to be competent in.
A review of the facility's "Towel Sanitizing

9:30 AM, the DA 3 described the process for
the manual dishwashing procedure. DA 3 stood
in front of the three-compartment sink for
manual dishwashing and stated it is used when
the low temperature dishwasher is out of order.
She stated, the first step was to fill all three
compartments with hot water. The first
compartment is to wash, the second
compartment is for rinsing, and third
compartment is for sanitizing. The DA 3 further
stated, each compartment holds ten gallons of
liquid and she would add one capful of bleach
per gallon in the third compartment to equal a
total of ten capfuls of bleach. DA 3 stated, she
does not check the strength of the solution
concentration in the third compartment, she
"just adds the number of capfuls" needed.

These failures had the potential to contaminate
resident food sources that can cause
foodborne illness in vulnerable population,
resulting in severe resident harm, and even
death.
Findings:
1. During an observation and concurrent
interview on April 09, 2019 at 08:45 AM, of the
ice machine with the Maintenance Supervisor
(MS), the inside of the machine had a
significant amount of black and pink residue on
the plastic that surrounded the evaporator plate
(the part of the ice machine where water is
frozen and made into ice). The residue had a
shiny, slimy appearance and wiped off easily
with a paper towel. Water that could be frozen
into ice came into contact with the pink and
black slimy residue. The plastic cover that fit
over the evaporator plate also had brownish,
orange residue on the inside surface that faced
the evaporator plate. The residue came off
when it was rubbed with a paper towel. MS
confirmed there was residue on the evaporator
plate cover and on the plastic surrounding the
evaporator plate and stated he did not consider
the ice machine clean and that it probably
needed to be cleaned more often. He also
stated this was how the ice machine looked,
with black and pink slimy residue, before
regular scheduled cleanings of the machine
and stated "it gets worse closer to the cleaning
time".
According to the 2017 Federal Food Code,
equipment food-contact surfaces shall be kept
clean to sight and nonfood-contact surfaces
shall be kept free of an accumulation of debris.
In addition equipment is to be cleaned at a
frequency to prevent an accumulation of soil
residue.
