Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, resident interview, staff interview, and review of policy and procedure, the facility
failed to ensure a resident received showers/bed baths as scheduled. This affected one (Resident #24) out
of two residents reviewed for activities of daily living (ADLs). The facility census was 64.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #24 revealed an admission date of 09/26/23 and diagnoses
including cerebral palsy (unspecified), generalized muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, and major
depressive disorder (recurrent, mild).
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment for Resident #24 revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating intact cognition. Additionally, the resident required
maximum assistance with bathing.
Review of the care plan for Resident #24 revealed a self-care deficit related to factors including chronic
fatigue, generalized weakness, impaired mobility, poor balance, poor coordination, and shortness of breath,
which necessitated staff assistance with personal hygiene, including bathing. The care plan included goals
to maintain the resident's current level of function while ensuring timely and adequate support with activities
of daily living. Interventions specifically called for assistance with personal hygiene and bathing as needed,
encouragement for the resident to use the call light to request help, and ensuring staff promptly responded
to these needs.
Review of the shower records for Resident #24 revealed multiple instances where showers were not
provided as scheduled, with gaps exceeding seven days. Specifically, there was an 18-day gap between
showers from 03/07/25 to 03/25/25, an 11-day gap from 03/28/25 to 04/08/25, another 11-day gap from
04/18/25 to 04/29/25, and an 8-day gap between 05/23/25 and 05/31/25, during which no showers were
recorded. After 06/07/25, no further showers were documented. There was no documented evidence that
the resident refused showers during these periods.
Interview on 06/16/25 at 12:15 P.M. with Resident #24 revealed she would at times go more than a week
without a bath and reported that facility staff would document a refusal even when she had not refused. She
also stated she preferred bed baths over taking showers.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:52 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #115 revealed that if residents
refused showers, staff would ask the resident three times and then have them sign the shower sheet. She
added that if the resident still refused, staff would ask again the next day. CNA #115 noted that Resident
#24 received bed baths on Tuesdays and Fridays and typically did not refuse her bed baths.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 11:56 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that refusals for showers
were only documented on the shower sheets and not in the progress notes. She also confirmed Resident
#24 had multiple gaps in bathing.
Interview on 06/18/25 at 9:44 A.M. with Resident #24 revealed that she had not been to the hospital
recently and had remained in the facility the entire time. She reported refusing showers only a couple of
times and that when she refused, she signed a refusal form.

03/03/25, 03/05/25 (first fall), and 03/16/25 were not documented on the incident accident log. They
confirmed the residents falls were missing a root cause analysis and many did not have any new
interventions documented. They confirmed interventions were not specific to the cause of the fall and
confirmed it would not be appropriate to have a new fall intervention, be something that was already in
place at the time of the fall. They were unable to provide additional information if current interventions were
in place and also failed to provide evidence of additional investigation information such as staff statements
about the last time the resident was toileted, after several falls were related to the need to go to the
bathroom. Regional Nurse #160 acknowledged fall procedures were lacking and staff were unaware of all
falls.
Review of the facility's policy titled Falls, dated 09/2021, revealed staff were expected to identify and
implement appropriate fall interventions with input from the attending Physician. If falls continued despite
initial efforts, staff were to try additional or different interventions or document why the current approach
remained appropriate. The policy also required staff to re-evaluate and adjust interventions as needed to
prevent future falls and minimize complications.

the resident had eaten about 10% of her food. CNA #118 confirmed she did not offer an alternative and did

with eating and was unable to answer when asked how staff should find out/determine if a resident required
assistance with eating. CNA #118 was shown the orders in Resident #10's record and she then confirmed
Resident #10 had an order to assist with eating due to pocketing food and confirmed staff should be
observing and offering assistance per the physician order.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 12:13 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #10 had an
order to assist with meals due to pocketing and was unable to state what the order meant for the resident or
what her expectations were related to staff responding to or following the order. She further stated she

her meals. Dietitian #162 confirmed she recommended weekly weights to try and catch any big drops or
changes in her weights and staff informed her they were assisting residents [including Resident #10] with
eating. Dietitian #162 confirmed facility staff were not completing weekly weights as recommended and it
was a struggle to get staff to obtain weights. She stated she spoke to the floor staff and management staff
about getting the weights completed. She also reported corporate staff told her to discontinue weekly
weights so they would not get a citation for not obtaining weights. She stated she would expect staff to offer
assistance with eating when required and alternatives should have been offered if residents declined the
meal or ate very little of it.

passed the food trial for the mechanical soft food texture due to coughing during the trial. She revealed

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident interview, staff interview, and record review, the facility failed to place Resident #26 on the
appropriate diet. This affected one resident (#26) out of 30 residents reviewed for the sample. The facility
had a census of 64.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #26 revealed an original admission date of 01/30/25 and the
most recent re-entry on 05/28/25. Diagnoses included acute osteomyelitis of the left tibia and fibula,
extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli infection, metabolic encephalopathy,
and acute kidney failure with tubular necrosis.
Review of the 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #26 revealed a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Additionally,
Section K of the MDS stated Resident #26 had no swallowing disorders, was on a therapeutic diet, but it did
not state that the resident was receiving a mechanically altered diet.
Review of Resident #26's hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed the resident was to continue
a regular diet.
Review of Resident #26's physician orders revealed the facility initiated a mechanically soft texture diet on
06/03/25. The order was changed to a regular texture diet on 06/17/25 following surveyor intervention.
Review of the amount eaten task for the past 30 days revealed Resident #26 consumed less than 50% of
meals on multiple dates, including 05/31/25, 06/06/25, 06/07/25, 06/08/25, 06/10/25, 06/12/25, 06/14/25,
and 06/15/25.
Interview on 06/16/25 at 4:00 P.M. with Resident #26 revealed he was placed on a mechanically soft diet
upon admission on [DATE] and did not know why. He stated he did not like the mechanically soft diet and
most of the time would not eat the meals provided, so his family would bring in food. On 06/18/25 at 10:08
A.M., Resident #26 further stated he was not eating the food because of the mechanical soft texture.
Interview on 06/17/25 at 12:57 P.M. with Rehabilitation Director #144 revealed the speech therapist
mistakenly placed Resident #26 on a mechanically altered diet based on his previous admission. The
Rehabilitation Director stated there were no speech therapy progress notes from the current admission,
and the therapist based the order on Section K of the MDS, which incorrectly reflected that the resident was
on a mechanically altered diet.
Interview on 06/18/25 at 11:49 A.M. with the Registered Dietitian (RD) #162 revealed that placing Resident
#26 on a mechanical soft diet was an error. The RD stated that during the initial screening, the resident did
not demonstrate any issues with chewing or swallowing and had not failed any feeding or pocketing tests.
She confirmed the diet was mistakenly continued from the prior stay, during which the resident had been on
a mechanical soft renal diet due to broken teeth.

Residents Affected - Some
Review of the 5-day minimum data set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #26 revealed a
Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, indicating moderately impaired cognition.
Review of Resident #26's physician orders revealed ongoing enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) starting
on 05/29/25 related to an indwelling urinary catheter and an order for contact precautions specifically for
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) from 06/16/25 to 06/17/25.
Review of the laboratory results confirmed a positive test for C. diff on 06/06/25. No subsequent testing was
completed to determine a resolution; however, on 06/18/25, the Assistant Director of Nursing stated that the
resident had completed antibiotic treatment and had formed stool for 48 hours, so retesting was not
performed.
Observation on 06/16/25 at 11:45 A.M. revealed only the enhanced barrier precaution sign posted on the
resident's door, but no contact precaution signage was present.
Further observation and interview on 06/17/25 at 11:30 A.M. revealed multiple family members present in
