observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure residents were dressed appropriately to maintain their
dignity. This affected one (Resident #40) of four residents reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 45.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #40's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/30/18 with diagnoses including

wearing white socks that each had her initials largely written on each sock in black permanent marker. The
initials were roughly two inches by two inches in size.
Observation on 05/20/19 at 3:43 P.M. revealed Resident #40 seated next to two other residents. While she
had shoes on at this time, the initials were still plainly visible to those passing by.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide information regarding contact information
for State Survey Agency and State Long term Care Ombudsman in a written form the resident could
understand. This had the potential to affect 45 residents residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Observation of the posting of the State Survey Agency and State Long Term Care Ombudsman Agency
contact information on 05/20/19 at 8:30 A.M., 1:20 P.M., 05/21/19 at 10:30 A.M. and 05/23/19 at 3:10 P.M.
revealed the postings were in a glass case across from the nurse's station near the conference room. The
posting was high in the upper left-hand corner of the glass case. The State Agency's information was
written in a font so small it was barely readable to a person or normal height, but a resident attempting to
read it from a wheelchair would be unable to read and understand the information.
Interview with Resident Council President #21 on 05/21/19 at 12;30 P.M. revealed he had concerns
because he could not read and understand the contact information posted in the glass case from his
seated position in his wheelchair. Resident Council President # 21 stated the writing was too small and
could not read and understand the information.
A Group Meeting was held on 05/21/19 at 1:45 P.M. Resident #7 Resident # 8, Resident #16 and Resident
#38 attended the meeting and expressed concerns they could not read or understand the State Survey
Agency or the Long Term Ombudsman contact information. Each resident indicated the writing was in a
glass case, and posting was too high and the writing too small; they could not read or understand the
information.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/21/19 at 5:30 P.M. verified she checked the information for
reading and understanding the contact information for State Survey Agency and The Long-Term Care
Ombudsman in the glass case. The DON verified the printing of the information and the information hard to
read and understand. The DON stated the information print needed to be enlarged and the information
probably needed to be placed at a height where resident could read and understand the information.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure revisions were made to plans of care
for hydration and supervision during meals. This affected two (Resident #10 and Resident #38) of 13
residents reviewed for care plan revision to ensure coordination of care. The facility census was 45.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #38's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of dysphagia, urinary tract infections, abnormal posture, muscle weakness and Parkinson's
Disease.
Review of Resident #38's plan of care revealed the resident had an activities of daily living (ADL) Self Care
Performance Deficit. Interventions included for eating, that the resident was able to feed self after set up.
Observation of Resident #38 at the lunch meal on 05/20/19 at 12:43 P.M. revealed his meal was placed in
front of him by State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #17. STNA #17 removed the lid to the plate and did
not offer to cut up the chicken and dumplings, which was in a small high rim dessert bowl. Resident #38
picked up the large handle weight spoon and attempted to cut the chicken dumpling. Resident #38 was
unable to cut the dumpling and he stabbed it with the spoon. When Resident #38 lifted the dumpling out of
the dessert bowl it was the size of a small orange. Although staff were in the dining room, STNA # 7 did not
assist the resident to cut the food up into smaller pieces. Resident #38 attempted to stick the dumpling into
his mouth without the dumpling being cut up. When this did not work, he put it back into the dessert bowl
and started to eat small bites off it without it being cut into smaller bites. No staff intervened to redirect the
resident to take smaller bites or provide assistance when the resident was unable to cut the dumpling into
smaller bites to prevent choking.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/20/19 at 2:50 P.M. verified Resident #38 plan of care
was not revised to include the speech therapist recommendation for the resident to safely consume his
meal.
Interview with Speech Therapist (ST) #71 on 05/2/419 t 9:30 A.M. revealed the resident had been on
speech therapy since 05/13/19 due to dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase. ST #71 stated goals were to
improve swallowing ability to safely and efficiently swallow the least restrictive diet. ST #71 stated the
resident's current diet was a regular diet with nectar tick liquids. The speech therapist stated the resident
was to have close supervision and be reminded to slow his rate of eating or take smaller bites. ST #71
stated the resident required and assist for set up of his meal and cutting up his foods. The speech therapist
verified the chicken dumpling should have been cut up into smaller pieces to prevent the potential of
resident choking.
The plan of care was not revised to ensure staff provided supervision and cueing to allow the resident to
safely consume his meal
2. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/20/17 and diagnoses
including diabetes, end stage renal disease (ESRD), peripheral vascular disease and hypertension (high
blood pressure).

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
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 ensure a resident received appropriate
pressure ulcer care to prevent the development of an avoidable Stage II pressure ulcer (characterized by
partial-thickness skin loss into but no deeper than the dermis) from a pressure relieving cushion on his
adaptive wheelchair. This affected one (Resident #29) of two residents observed with a pressure ulcer. The
facility census was 45.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #29's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of insomnia, transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits,
disorientation, type II diabetes, depression, dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere without
behavioral disturbance, and anxiety.
Review of Resident #29's significant change of condition Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE] revealed the resident was an extensive assist of one person for bed mobility, transfers and toilet
use.
Review of Resident #29 weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] to 05/20/19 revealed no pressure or
non-pressure area with the resident's skin intact.
Review of Resident #29's nursing notes from 05/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed no evidence of nurses
documented the resident had an open area to his right buttock. Nursing notes did not document any
monitoring to the open area to the right buttocks except for the weekly skin grids which indicated no
pressure or non-pressure open areas.
Review of Resident #29's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 03/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed
documentation that zinc oxide was applied to buttocks twice a day until healed. The MAR nor physician
order sheet reflected any change in treatment to the open area to the right buttock except for the zinc oxide
nor had the pressure adjusting cushion been tested as indicated on the resident's plan of care.
Review of Resident #29's plan of care dated 03/10/19 revealed the following notations with two different
residents as being assessed with the same potential for pressure ulcers. First Notation documented
Resident #29 had the potential for pressure ulcer development. (03/10/19) Second Notation also dated
03/10/19 indicated the name of a resident (unknown to the Director of Nursing) as had the potential for
pressure ulcer development. The electronic plan of care addressed the potential for Resident #29 be then
indicated interventions were developed for the unknown resident. Interventions for the unknown resident
indicated the unknown resident and not Resident #29 will have intact skin, free of redness, blisters or
discoloration. An additional intervention which matched Resident #29 medical condition indicated staff were
to ensure the pressure adjusting cushion in chair when up. Nurse to do complete skin assessment at least
weekly. Staff to inspect skin daily when giving care. Test pressure adjusting cushion weekly Resident #29
did not have a plan of care for any type of open area.
Review of Resident#29's physician progress notes from January 2019 to May of 2019 revealed the facility
provided no documented evidence the physician had been notified of the pressure or non-pressure open
area on Resident #29's right buttock.

On 05/22/19 12;10 P.M. observation of Resident #29's incontinence care and mechanical transfer with
State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #29 and STNA #54 revealed Resident #29 had a Stage II pressure
ulcer on his right buttock. STNA #29 identified the area as a Stage II pressure area caused by the cushion
on the resident's wheelchair. The right buttock open area was circular in nature and had a small light brown
crusted area in the middle with open area surrounding the crust. No drainage or odors was noted to the
area. The area did not have the appearance of a skin tear, rash or excoriation. The open area was left
uncovered and STNA #54 placed barrier cream over the area, placed a new brief and pulled the residents
shorts up over the area. No dressing was placed on the area as a protective cover. Resident #29 was a
two-person mechanical lift from his bed to a recliner chair without incident. Resident #29 refused to be
transferred to the wheelchair the cushion caused pain and kept the open area on his buttock open.
Interview with STNA #29 and STNA #54 on 05/22/19 at 12:15 P.M. revealed the area had healed but would
open back up. The area had been open for a couple of weeks and the area may have been caused by the
cushion on the wheelchair. STNA #29 and STNA # 54 stated the nurse was aware of the area they were
told to continue the barrier cream. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated both the resident and the family
member stated the open area was caused by the cushion. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated they were not
sure if the nurses observed the area. STNA #29 and STNA #54 stated Resident #29 would not get up into
his custom chair because the cushion was too hard for his to sit comfortably on it. Nether STNA #29 of
STNA #54 knew the resident who was listed on Resident #29 plan of care as also having the potential for a
pressure ulcer.
Interview with Resident #29's family member on 05/22/19 at 12:30 P.M. revealed the resident had the open
area for at least two weeks and could not use his adaptive wheelchair because the chair did not fit the
resident properly. The family member stated the cushion on the chair caused the open area on his buttock
and when seated on the cushion the area remains open. The family member stated the resident had to use
the recliner chair because it would cause pain and keep the area open. The family member stated physical
therapy staff were here on Monday to look at the chair because the custom seat was the cause of his
discomfort while resident was seated in the chair. This area opens, then heals, then re-opens because of
the pressure of the wheelchair. The family member was concerned because staff were only putting a barrier
cream in the area and not putting a dressing on top of it to protect the area. The family member felt the area
had decline and became larger because the resident was seated in the wheelchair he could not get the
pressure off the area. The family member was adamant the pressure adjusting cushion caused the area
about two weeks ago and the pressure needed to be adjusted in the cushion. Therapy looked at the chair
on Monday and still as of today nothing had been done to reduce the pressure to allow Resident #29 to get
up his custom wheelchair.
On 05/23/19 at 9:20 A.M. a second observation of Resident #29's right buttock was conducted with the
Director of Nursing and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) # 75. The observation revealed a Stage II
pressure ulcer, circular in nature and without jagged edges. The ulcer had been cleaned and was without
the crusted area in the middle of the surrounding open area. No measurements were taken by the DON.
Interview with Resident #29 with the DON and PTA #75 present on 05//23/19 at 9:25 A.M. revealed the
resident stated again he had the open area for two weeks. Resident #29 stated the area was caused by his
adaptive wheelchair, the cushion was too hard and hurt his buttocks. Resident #29 told the DON and PTA
#75 the pressure in the ROHO cushion caused the open area and could not tolerate it and the cushion
caused the area to become larger. When asked by PTA #75 why he did not get up in the adaptive
wheelchair, Resident #29 stated the seat is too hard and hurts the open area, so he chooses to

sit in his recliner because that does not cause pain to the area. Further interview with PTA #75 revealed he
would have the cushion assessed and since it was a pressure cushion he would release some of the air in
the cushion to reduce the pressure to the resident's buttocks.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/23/19 at 9:40 A.M. revealed she would contact the wound
doctor and see if the resident would be assessed by the wound doctor to determine the type and care of
the wound. The DON verified the resident did not have a plan of care for the wound. The DON verified it
was undetermined if the open area improved or declined because she was unaware of the open area to
Resident #29 right buttock.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure Skin Care and Wound Prevention dated April 2008, revealed:
Facility staff strive to prevent resident skin impairment and to promote the healing of existing wounds. The
interdisciplinary team works with the resident and family to identify and implement interventions to prevent
and tract skin impairment.
The interdisciplinary team evaluate and documents skin impairment and preexisting signs to determine the
type of skin impairment, underlying contributing conditions and treatment plan.
The facility provides care for residents with different types of wounds which include but are not limited to:
pressure ulcers, venous insufficiency ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic neuropathic ulcers, surgical wounds
and skin tears.
Prevention:
1. On admission, complete a head to toe skin assessment on all residents and document findings under in
the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system.
2. Complete the Braden Risk Assessment Scale in EMR to identify the resident's pressure ulcer risk
indicators.
3. Assess skin weekly and document findings.
Ongoing management:
1. Develop a skin and wound management plan of care.
2. Assess and document findings weekly.

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
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure one resident's (Resident #17) facility owned
wheelchair was an appropriate size for safe transport to the dialysis center Additionally, the facility failed to
ensure Resident #10 wore a smoking apron as assessed to need while smoking. This affected two of three
residents reviewed for accidents. The facility census was 45.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #17's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including diabetes type II, hypertension, anemia, gout, chronic kidney disease, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA), and paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation. Resident #17 was transported to dialysis three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
by the facility's transport van.
Review of Resident #17's plan of care dated 08/16/18 revealed the resident had limited physical mobility.
Interventions included an electric wheelchair for mobility in the community. Provide gentle range of motion
as tolerated with daily care. Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy referrals as ordered when
necessary.
Review of Resident #17's quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident was an extensive assist of two persons for bed mobility and dressing. Resident #17 required total
dependence of two persons for transfers and toilet use and an extensive assist of one person for personal
hygiene.
Review of Resident #17's nursing notes dated 04/03/19 at 12:30 P.M. revealed a nurse was called to the
facility transport van. The driver said the resident had slid down in his wheelchair and assistance was
needed. On arrival the nurse found Resident #17 had slid down so far in his chair that his seatbelt was up
underneath his arm pits. The chair was fully locked in. His legs were resting on the floor of the bus not on
the footrests. When the resident was asked what happened, he said his butt hurt so I slid down off of it. The
driver said they were only a short distance away from the facility on the way back from his dialysis
appointment. Resident #17 was repositioned back up onto his chair by five staff and three gait belts, then
taken in the building to his room. Once in bed via the mechanical lift, the nurse assessed for injuries and
noted a 2.5 centimeter (cm) by 0.5 cm skin tear to the right lateral lower extremity. Vital signs were taken
and were within normal limits. The doctor was notified and orders were obtained for treatment to the skin
tear. The resident's spouse was notified as was the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) The nurse's note
indicated Resient #17 said this would not have happened if she (the driver) would not slam on the brakes
when she drives
An interview conducted with Resident #17 on 05/21/19 at 1:10 P.M. and 05/24/19 at 10:30 P.M. revealed the
resident's own power wheelchair was too big to fit into the facility's 20 passenger transport van. Resident
#17 stated on days he was transported to the dialysis center by the facility, he was placed in a smaller blue
tilt in space wheelchair which was too small for his body and his feet did not fit on the wheelchair footrests.
Resident #17 stated because he was too tall, the wheelchair back was tilted back to allow him to fit in the
spot for the wheelchair to be hooked to the floor. Resident #17 stated this caused the shoulder seatbelt to
be loose. Resident #17 stated he was on his way back from dialysis to the facility and was trying to adjust
his position on the wheelchair.

Resident #17 stated the blue tilt in space wheelchair was a smaller wheelchair than his power wheelchair
and the seat caused pain on his excoriated buttocks. Resident #17 stated on the day the incident occurred,
he attempted to change his seating position and the van driver slammed on the brakes which caused him
to slide under the shoulder seatbelt. Resident #17 stated the shoulder seatbelt was loose, he slid under it
and he stopped sliding when the seal belt became wedged under his arms pits and across his chest.
Resident #17 stated he did not experience any respiratory distress but could not get himself free because
he was hanging out the bottom of the wheelchair. Resident #17 stated the van driver drove to the facility
and went into the facility to get help. Resident #17 stated it took five people to get him loose from the
seatbelt and take him into the facility. Resident #17 stated the incident happened not too far from the facility
and the van driver finished driving to the facility and obtained help. Resident #17 stated his chest and
underarms were sore and he received a skin tear on his right lower leg. Resident #17 was adamant he was
adjusting his position and did not slid down under the seatbelt on purpose. Resident #17 stated this was not
the first time the van driver slammed on the brakes. Resident #17 stated the van driver had a habit of hitting
the brakes hard and slamming the brakes on when she was driving the van. Resident #17 stated if the van
driver had not slammed on the brakes this would not have happened.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/21/19 at 5:20 P.M. revealed Resident #17 was involved in an
incident resulting in the resident becoming entrapped under the shoulder seat belt when the van driver
slammed on the brakes. This caused the resident to slide under the shoulder seat belt up to his chest and
under both arm pits entrapping the resident in the wheelchair. The DON stated when interviewing the van
driver, a reason was not provided by the van driver as to why she slammed on the brakes. The DON verified
the resident was too big for the facility's blue tilt in space transport chair. The DON verified through her
investigation, the van driver had slammed on the brakes with other residents during transport. The DON
verified the van driver was terminated from the facility due to this incident and two new van drivers now
complete the transfers to appointments and dialysis. The DON verified Resident #17 had not been provided
a wheelchair of proper size and the two new van drivers had not been in serviced on how to properly
transport Resident #17. The DON further verified as of 05/24/19, Resident #17 continued to use the same
blue tilt in space wheelchair for transport.
Interview with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA )#72 on 05/24/19 at 9:20 A.M. revealed on
04/03/19 (time unknown) she received a call to come to the transport van. COTA #72 stated she went to the
van which was parked at the facility and discovered Resident #17 had slid out of the blue tilt in space
wheelchair and was entrapped with the shoulder seatbelt around his chest and under both arm pits. COTA
#72 stated because of his size, height of six feet seven inches and weight of 231 pounds, it took five staff to
physically lift him to prevent further entrapment and injury. COTA #72 stated one person was pulling him up
in the wheelchair by his shoulders to relieve pressure on his chest and underarms and four staff were using
three gait belts on his legs and chest to lift the resident back in the chair. COTA #72 stated it was all five
people could do was to lift him back in the chair and release the shoulder seatbelt. COTA #72 verified
Resident #17's personal power wheelchair was too big for the facility van to transport the resident to the
dialysis center. COTA #72 verified Resident #17 was transported in the smaller blue tilt in space wheelchair
which does not fit him properly. COTA #72 stated because of his height, the blue title in space backrest had
to be titled back to allow the wheelchair to fit into the van. This may have caused the shoulder seatbelt to be
loose which allowed the resident to slide underneath it when the van driver slammed on the brakes. COTA
#72 stated the to the best of her knowledge, Resident #17 had not been reassessed for a different transport
wheelchair and the resident

Nursing notes dated 03/29/19 at 5:20 P.M. revealed a late entry documenting the resident was readmitted
from the hospital at 5:20 P.M. via squad on a cart, accompanied only by the two squad personnel.
Review of Resident #38's bowel tracking record from 01/01/19 to 05/23/19 revealed some dates had been
changed on some of the tracking forms, other dates had been scribbled and state tested nursing assistant's
(STNA) documentation at the time of review was difficult to decipher.
Interview with STNA #29 on 05/23/19 at 4:00 P.M. revealed STNAs are to document daily on the
incontinence tracking form if the resident were incontinent of urine and stool. STNA #29 stated staff were to
report any changes in the resident's condition, especially urine, if confusion, color change or odor. STNA #
29 stated as for documenting bowel movements, they mark if it is small, medium, large or loose. STNA #29
stated the bowel movements and urinary incontinency tracking are marked two times a day, once on day
shift and once on night shift. STNA #29 stated aides worked 12-hour shifts. STNA #29 was not sure of the
accuracy of the tracking because of the difference of opinions for the size and shape of the bowel
movement. STNA #29 stated Resident #38 required help to transfer from the wheelchair to the toilet. Other
times he was independent and would go to the toilet on his own and not tell staff if he had a bowel
movement. STNA #29 stated she had not been educated on what to report to the nurse regarding how to
monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of constipation or a bowel obstruction.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/23/19 at 4:45 P.M. revealed there was no documentation
from the March 2019 hospital visit that documented when or why Resident #38 was transferred from the
facility to the hospital. The DON verified the resident was sent to the hospital for a small bowel obstruction.
The DON revealed the facility had a policy and procedure for Bowel and Bladder Assessment to identify
individuals with reversible causes of incontinence and to institute the appropriate interventions to meet the
resident's needs. The DON stated the facility had no written bowel protocol in place. Nurses were to monitor
resident's bowel movements. If no bowel movement after three days, the resident was administered milk of
magnesia. It not effective, the resident would be administered a suppository, if no results the resident was
administered an enema. If no results from the enema, the physician was notified for further instructions. The
DON verified the facility did not have standing orders to ensure this unwritten protocol was initiated.
The DON verified as of 05/23/19 at 5:20 P.M. Resident #38 did not have a plan of care in place for
monitoring bowel movements to prevent bowel obstruction.

Resident # 17's medical record review the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
which included diabetes type II, chronic kidney disease, COPD, history of CVA, and paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation. Resident #17 received hemodialysis three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident #17's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was an extensive
assist of two persons for bed mobility, dressing; total dependence of two persons for transfers and toilet

except in protein, no added salt, low concentrated sweets, avoid high calcium and high phosphorous foods.
No potatoes. Review of Resident #17's monthly physician order summary sheet dated 05/01/19 to 05/31/19
revealed the resident was on a fluid restriction of 1500 ml of fluid per day, with dietary allotted 720 ml and
nursing allotted 780 ml.
Observation of Resident #17 during the survey from 05/20/19 to 05/23/19 revealed the resident had a large
Styrofoam glass filled with water setting on his bedside table. During the observations, the glass was
always full.
Interview with Resident #17 on 05/23/19 at 1:00 P.M. revealed he was on a 1500 ml fluid restriction.
Resident #17 stated the fluid was split between his meals and his medication. Resident #17 stated he was
not interviewed by the dietary department on how the fluid restriction would be monitored. Resident #17
stated neither the dietary department or the nursing department monitored his intake. Resident #17 stated
when his glass was empty he would go the ice machine near the Assisted Living area, fill it and bring it
back to his room. Resident #17 stated no staff asked him if he was following the 1500 ml fluid restriction.
The glass was always full, and the resident stated staff thought he was not drinking the fluid, when in fact
he was filling it.
Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #33 on 05/24/19 at 10:00 A.M. revealed nursing was to provide 780
ml per day of fluid. RN #33 stated the resident was non-complaint with care, but she was unaware he was
not following the 1500 ml fluid restriction.
Interview with RD #69 on 05/21/19 at 2: 40 PM with the DON and Regional Nurse present revealed RD #69
was new and more interested in reviewing the clinical records than monitoring the resident's fluid intake. RD
#69 verified she had not interviewed or assessed Resident #17 to determine if the resident followed the
1500 ml fluid restriction required for dialysis.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure nutritional oversight and monitoring of
high risk residents. This affected two (Resident #10 and Resident #17) of three residents reviewed for
nutrition.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/20/17 and diagnoses
including diabetes, end stage renal disease (ESRD), peripheral vascular disease and hypertension (high

dietitian (RD #69) were available in the medical record.
Review of a care plan for nutritional risk dated 11/05/18 revealed Resident #10 was at nutritional risk due to
end stage renal disease (ESRD), diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure). The only listed
nutritional goal was for Resident #10 to maintain current body weight (CBW), to consume greater than 75
percent of meals and have skin healed by review date of 08/10/19. Listed interventions included administer

Interview on 05/22/19 at 2:10 P.M. with RD #69, Corporate Director of Nursing (CDON) #70 and the
Director of Nursing (DON) revealed RD #69 visited the facility once a month for clinical duties and the
facility had DTR #67 at the facility weekly to assist her work. RD #69 admitted she did not oversee DTR
#67's work at the facility and focused on completing MDS assessments and talking to residents at high
nutritional risk, which she defined as residents with tube-feedings, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), wounds
and hemodialysis. RD #69 described her workload as census-dependent and she was only allowed a
certain amount of hours on site per her contract. When asked if she had seen Resident #10 or
communicated with the dietitian at dialysis, RD #69 verified she had not and stated she would look at renal
dialysis labs at the next MDS assessment for that resident. RD #69 had no additional knowledge to share
regarding Resident #10's nutritional status.
Phone interview on 05/22/19 at 2:59 P.M. with DTR #67 confirmed he did not monitor Resident #10's
nutritional labs and he was not aware of Resident #10 having a fluid restriction.
Interview on 05/22/19 at 3:02 P.M. with the DON verified the facility's expectation was that the Registered
Dietitian would monitor labwork and collaborate with dialysis regarding any changes needed to the plan of
care.

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, menu spreadsheet review and interview, the facility failed to ensure dietary staff
followed spreadsheets as written. This affected four residents (Resident #5, Resident #14, Resident #19
and Resident #31) of four residents identified by the facility as receiving mechanical soft diets. The facility
census was 45 residents.
Findings include:
Review of the menu spreadsheet for Week 1, Day 3 corresponding to 05/21/19 revealed a lunch meal
consisting of maple glazed fish, rosemary roasted potatoes, asparagus, fresh baked roll, chocolate satin
pound cake, margarine and coffee or tea. Residents receiving a mechanical soft diet were to have a #6
scoop of ground fish with two ounces of gravy and asparagus had an x next to it on the spreadsheet. No
alternate vegetables were listed.
Observation of lunch meal service on 05/21/19 starting at 12:18 P.M. revealed [NAME] #41 collecting food
temperatures with [NAME] #24 assisting. Portions for the food to be served were as follows: one filet glazed
fish; one #8 scoop mashed potatoes; one #4 scoop baby carrots; one #4 spoodle asparagus; one roll;
sloppy joe meat (ground meat consistency) and macaroni and cheese bites. The asparagus pieces and
baby carrots were at least two inches in length.
On 05/21/19 at 12:43 P.M. Resident #19's meal was plated and revealed a fish filet, one scoop of mashed
potatoes with gravy, a roll and asparagus pieces. At 12:53 P.M. Resident #31's meal was plated and
revealed mashed potatoes with gravy, a fish filet and asparagus pieces. At 12:56 P.M. observation of
Resident # 5's tray revealed ground sloppy joe meat not on a bun, baby carrots and mashed potatoes with
gravy.
Interview with [NAME] #41 on 05/21/19 at 12:26 P.M. revealed baby carrots were an alternate for the meal
and verified no other meats had been made. [NAME] #41 stated alternate food items were chosen by the
cooks on a daily basis.
Interview on 05/21/19 at 1:01 P.M. with Dietary Manager (DM) #2 verified staff did not follow the
spreadsheet for residents receiving a mechanical soft diet. DM #2 confirmed the facility practice was for
cooks to choose what meal alternates to prepare for the day's meals (i.e. cook's choice). DM #2 defined
mechanical soft as being able to smash the food item with a fork and was not sure when asked about a
facility diet manual.
Interview on 05/22/19 at 2:10 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #69, Corporate Director of Nursing
(CDON) #70 and the DON revealed RD #69 came to the facility one a day a month and did not have any
culinary responsibilities. RD #69 verified baby carrots were not appropriate for residents receiving a
mechanical soft diet and upon review of the provided menu spreadsheet for 05/21/19, RD #69 stated the x
indicated it meant the food item should not be served and thus the asparagus should have not been served
to residents on a mechanical diet as well.
