§483.15(c)(8) Notice in advance of facility
closure
In the case of facility closure, the individual who
is the administrator of the facility must provide
written notification prior to the impending
closure to the State Survey Agency, the Office
of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman,
residents of the facility, and the resident
representatives, as well as the plan for the
transfer and adequate relocation of the
residents, as required at § 483.70(l).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to notify the Ombudsman's office
of the reason for transfer for three of 14
sampled residents (Residents 45, 51, and 87),
when:
1. Resident 45 was transferred to hospital on
October 13, 2018.
2. Resident 51 was transferred to the hospital
on October 6, 2018, October 21, 2018, and
November 21, 2018.
3. Resident 87 was transferred to the hospital
on December 31, 2018.
These failed practices had the potential for
facility initiated transfers to go unchecked.
Findings:
1. During an interview with Resident 45 on
January 8, 2019, at 8:20 AM, the resident
stated he was sent out to the hospital due to
bleeding a couple of months ago.

1. Resident 45 did not have a care plan for
outside food kept at bedside; and
2. Resident 48 did not have a care plan for
Limited Range of Motion.
These failed practices had the potential for
unmet care needs.
Findings:
1. During a facility tour observation on January
8, 2019, at 9:03 AM, Resident 45 was in bed
resting. The resident had boxes of cereals, cup
of noodles, and cans of soda and juice by the
bedside. Resident 45 stated he was on dialysis

solutes, and toxins from the blood in people
whose kidneys can no longer perform these
functions naturally).

went to Resident 45's room and verified the
presence of cans of soda, cup of noodles,
juice, and cereals by the resident's bedside.
The MDS nurse stated Resident 45 had a care
plan for resident's non-compliance.
During an interview and clinical record review
with the MDS nurse on January 9, 2019, at
2:17 PM, Resident 45's record indicated the
resident was re-admitted to the facility on
10/15/18 for End Stage Renal Disease (kidney
failure). The care plan for non-compliance,
dated October 17, 2018, did not indicate the
facility's intervention for Resident 45's noncompliance. The MDS nurse checked the care
plan and verified the care plan for Resident
45's non-compliance was incomplete. The
MDS stated, "We (the facility) presented the
problems and goals, but no intervention was
specified to address the non-compliance." The
MDS nurse further stated, "We should have
completed the care plan."
The facility's undated policy and procedure
titled, "Care Plans - Comprehensive," indicated,
"Care plan interventions are designed after
careful consideration of the relationship
between the resident's problem areas and their
causes. When possible, interventions address
the underlying source(s) of the problem area

the resident was re-admitted to the facility on

dated November 1, 2018, indicated the resident
has impairment on one side for both upper and
lower extremities.

This failure had the potential to cause
confusion of when the resident actually
received the tube feeding and when it was time
to replace the feeding.
Findings:
During an observation of the facility, on
January 7, 2019, at 8 AM, Resident 37 was in
bed, and was sleeping with a GT (Gastrostomy
Tube- tube feeding) feeding bottle hanging
from an intravenous pole. The GT feeding
bottle was labeled, and indicated "Jevity 1.2
calories at 40 cc (cubic centimeter- unit of
measure) with start time at 12 PM."
During an interview with the Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 4), on January 7, 2019,
at 8:23 AM, the LVN 4 stated, "We [facility staff]
forgot to put the date. There should be a date."
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON), on January 7, 2019, at 11:27 AM, the
DON stated, "The expectation is for them
[facility staff] fill out the label. Yes, there must
be a date."

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure that meat
products were not on the plate of one of 97
residents (Resident 36), whose dietary
preference was vegetarian.
This failure had the potential for Resident 36 to
consume non-vegetarian foods against her
wishes.
Findings:
During a tray line observation, on January 8,
2019, at 12:06 PM, the plate for Resident 36
contained steamed spinach, mashed potatoes,
and chopped roast beef. The Head Cook (HC)
remade the plate after the Dietary Aide (DA)
informed her that Resident 36 had a vegetarian
diet. The HC made a new plate for Resident 36
that contained steamed spinach, mashed
potatoes, and gravy. The DA covered the plate,
put it on Resident 36's tray, and placed the tray
on the tray cart.
During an interview with the Dietary Supervisor
(DS), on January 8, 2019, at 12:08 PM, the DS
stated the gravy was not vegetarian, and a new
plate needed to be made for Resident 36.
During an interview with the DS, on January
10, 2019, at 2:52 PM, the DS stated that the
expectation is that the facility would honor the
dietary preferences of the residents to the best
of their ability.
A review of the tray card for Resident 36
indicated, "Vegetarian Diet."

This failed practice had the potential to cause
foodborne illness (illness caused by
contaminated food) for one resident (Resident
72).
Findings:
During a Kitchen observation with the HS and
the Dietary Supervisor (DS) on January 8,
2019, at 11:42 AM, the HC checked the
temperature of a salad plate with bare hands.
The HC removed the thermometer from the
plate and a piece of ham was stuck on the tip
of the thermometer. The HC used her index
finger to slide the ham back on to the plate.
The DS covered the plate and placed it in the
refrigerator.
During a tray line observation on January 8,
2019, at 12:07 PM, the HC took the salad from
the refrigerator and placed it on Resident 72's
tray. Resident 72's tray was then placed in the
cart and was sent out to the dining room.
During an interview with the HC and DS on
January 8, 2019, at 12:15 PM, the DS and HC
were asked if they served the same salad
during temperature check. HC verified the
salad placed in the cart was the same salad
used during temperature check.
During an interview with the DS on January 8,
2019, at 12:16 PM, the DS verified the finding
and stated, "We need to make a new one
(salad for Resident 72)."

This failure had the potential for Resident 36 to
not have her food preferences honored.
Findings:
A review of the tray card for Resident 36,
indicated "Vegetarian Diet."
A review of the Kardex for Resident 36,
indicated "Vegetarian Diet."
During an interview with the DS, on January 9,
2019, at 7:45 AM, the DS stated that she went
back through her dietary notes and could not
find a note for Resident 36 that recorded her
dietary preference as vegetarian.
During an interview with the DS, on January
10, 2019, at 9:39 AM, the DS stated that when
she found out about a new dietary preference,
the expectation would be to document it in the
resident's medical record and to notify the
nurse of the resident. She stated that the nurse
of the resident should call the doctor to obtain a
new diet order, and the DS should update the
Kardex and tray card. The DS further stated
that she should make a dietary note indicating
the change.
A review of the "Physician's Orders January
2019", indicated that on February 9, 2017 there
was an order for "Mech soft ground fortified diet
small portions." The order did not indicate
Resident 36 had a vegetarian diet.
