**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medial record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure that each residents written
plan of care was implemented regarding interventions to prevent further decreases in range of motion via
the use of splinting devices. This affected one (Resident #102) of one resident reviewed for positioning. The
facility census was 125.
Findings include:
Resident #102 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis
following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance,
contracture right hand, contracture right knee, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and aphasia.
The facility completed an annual comprehensive assessment of Resident #102's cognitive and physical
functional status dated 10/02/19. The 10/02/19 assessment identified the resident as having poor memory,
severely impaired cognitive skills, and requiring the physical assistance of one to two staff persons to
complete all activities of daily living. The resident was assessed as having functional limitations in his range
of motion due with impairments to his upper and lower extremity on one side.
Review of Resident #102's physician's orders revealed a current physician's order to wear a right hand
splint and right knee brace for up to six hours a day as tolerated.
Review of Resident #102' comprehensive plan of care revealed a current plan of care with a goal date of
12/31/19 which addressed the residents activity of daily living self care performance deficits. The care plan
identified the resident as being at risk for joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, falls, skin breakdown, and loss of
dignity related to his self care performance deficits. The care plan goal was for the resident to be neat,
clean, and odor free through the next review date The interventions for the resident included wearing a
ranger knee brace to his right knee three to six hours as tolerated each day, and to wear a resting hand
splint up to six hours per day as tolerated.
Review of Resident #102's October 2019 treatment record (TAR) revealed that there was a place on the
TAR to document where the hand and knee splint was used during the day and/or night shifts of duty. The
October 2019 TAR where the splint order was noted, and was supposed to be documented for each day of
the week, was blank for all days of the month.
Resident #102 was observed in his room in bed on 10/28/19 at 5:09 P.M. The resident appeared to have
significant contractures of his right wrist/hand, and his right knee. The resident was not wearing any splints.
Resident #102 was observed up dressed in his wheel chair in the unit activity/dining room on 10/29/19 at
9:17 A.M. The resident was not wearing any splints to his right hand or right knee.

hand or right knee. State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #74 who was nearby was asked to view the resident
and address his dangling right arm. STNA #74 repositioned the residents arm/hand on the pillow. The nurse
aide was then interviewed to ascertain if the resident had a right hand and/or a right knee splint. STNA #74
stated he was familiar with the resident, and the resident was to wear the hand splint when he was in bed,
but was not aware of the resident having a right knee splint. The nurse aide went and found the hand splint
in the resident's night stand and applied the right hand splint although it was not at night with no resistance
by the resident while the resident was sitting in his wheel chair.
An interview was conducted with STNA #25 on 10/30/19 at 12:01 P.M. regarding Resident #102's splints.
The nurse aide was assigned to the unit where the resident was located. The nurse aide was asked if the
resident wore splints to his right hand or right leg, and she reported that the resident did have a right hand
splint, but voiced no awareness of the resident wearing a knee brace/splint. STNA #25 reported she
thought the resident was supposed to wear the hand splint when he was up in his wheel chair, and then off
at night.
On 10/30/19 at 5:56 P.M. unit manager, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #139 was made aware that
Resident #102's right hand and knee splint was not observed in use, that there was a current physician's
order for the use of the splints, and a care plan was evident for the use of the splints. In addition, LPN #139
indicated there was a place for nursing staff to note the application of the splint on the TAR during either the
day or night shift of duty daily, but the TAR was blank regarding the application for the splint for the month of
10/01/19 through 10/30/19. Additional information regarding the status of Resident #102's splint usage, and
the whereabouts of the knee splint, was requested from LPN #139. No additional information was provided
by the facility regarding the resident's splints.
An interview was conducted with Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, Therapy Manager (TM) #305 on
10/31/19 at 10:01 A.M. regarding Resident #102's hand and knee splints. She reviewed the last information
regarding the knee splint from when the resident was discharged from physical therapy on 07/02/19. TM
#305 affirmed the resident was treated for flexion contracture of the right knee, and the intervention was for
the resident to wear a right knee brace. She had no additional information regarding the status of the knee
brace since the 07/02/19 discharge.
Resident #102's physical therapy (PT) Discharge summary dated [DATE] was provided by TM #305 and
reviewed. Review of the PT discharge summary revealed the following documentation related to the
resident's right knee brace: the resident, spouse, and nursing staff were educated on proper donning and
doffing of the right knee brace and instructed in a brace (wearing) schedule going forward in order to
maximize the benefit of wearing the brace and to maintain his active and passive range of motion gains to
his right knee. The therapist also noted the resident's progress was good as evidence by his improved right
knee range of motion and established plan of use of the knee brace going forward in order to prevent
further contractures.

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and interview the facility failed to ensure diabetic ulcer and surgical
wound treatments were completed as ordered. This affected one Resident (#113) of two reviewed for skin
conditions. The facility census was 125.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #113 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including osteomyelitis of the left ankle and foot, partial traumatic amputation of the left great toe,
non-pressure chronic ulcer of the left foot with fat layer exposed, pyogenic arthritis, sepsis, protein calorie
malnutrition, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, anemia, and diabetic foot ulcer.
Review of admission minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed intact cognitive skills for daily
decision making, extensive assistance was required with bed mobility, toileting, personal hygiene, and
Resident #113 was totally dependent upon staff for transfers. A wheelchair was utilized for mobility.
Resident #113 had one unstageable deep tissue injury (DTI), a diabetic foot ulcer, and a surgical wound.
Review of physician orders dated 10/23/19 revealed to cleanse ulcers to right dorsal foot, left metatarsal
surgical site, and left heel with wound cleanser. Apply alginate to right foot ulcer, collagen and alginate to
left metatarsal surgical site, and skin prep to left heel. Cover all areas with dry clean dressing and secure
with kling. Apply ace wraps to bilateral lower extremities from toe to knee, change daily and as needed.
Review of wound specialist progress note dated 10/23/19 revealed Resident #113 was admitted to the
hospital in late September 2019 with gas gangrene of the left foot and septic right knee joint. Surgical
incision and drainage were completed on both. The left foot required transmetatarsal amputation (TMA), a
surgery to remove part of the foot, but only partial closure was possible. The remaining open wound was
being treated with a wound vac. Resident #113 also had a ulcer to the right foot and left heel. Resident
#113 had a diabetic wound/ulcer of the right, lateral, plantar foot which measured 1.0 centimeter (cm) by
0.7 cm by 0.2 cm. Subcutaneous tissue was exposed with serosanguineous drainage and red, pink
granulation tissue, new tissue, within the wound bed. An open surgical wound to the left foot with exposed
support structures measured 19 cm by 3 cm by 0.6 cm. Bone, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue was
exposed with a small amount of serosanguineous drainage, medium granulation within the wound bed and
a small amount of necrotic tissue. Treatment included to cleanse right, lateral, plantar foot wound with
saline, apply silver alginate to the wound bed and kerlix daily and as needed. Cleanse the left foot surgical
wound with saline, apply collagen over the bone on lateral aspect and sliver alginate on top of collagen to
the medical aspect of the wound bed, wrap with kerlix and ace bandage daily and as needed.
Review of treatment administration record (TAR) for October 2019 revealed all wound treatments including
to cleanse ulcers to right dorsal foot, left metatarsal surgical site, and left heel were grouped together. The
boxes for completion of treatments on 10/25/19 and 10/27/19 were left blank and the medical record did not
include any evidence treatments were completed on these dates as ordered.
Observation on 10/28/19 at 2:31 P.M. revealed Resident #113 was seated in a wheelchair in his room. The
left foot had a kling wrap dressing and a heel boot was in place. The right foot had a kling

wrap dressing in place along with a non-skid sock. No heel boot was in place to the left foot. Resident #113
was moving the right foot from the wheelchair footrest to the floor, attempting to reposition self in the
wheelchair. An interview with Resident #113, at the time of the observation, reported inability to remain up
in wheelchair for extended periods of time as he became uncomfortable. Resident #113 reported he had a
surgical wound to the right knee and left foot. Treatments were completed weekly at medical follow up
appointments in the community for these surgical wounds. Resident #113 also reported a small diabetic
wound to the right foot which was supposed to be changed daily but had only been completed twice since
10/23/19, even though the resident reported mentioning it to staff, and reported staff just push it off to the
next shift and it was never completed daily.
Interview on 10/29/19 at 3:12 P.M. with Resident #113 reported wound treatment was completed last night
to the right diabetic wound and the nurse planned to change the left surgical wound dressing later since a
wound vac was no longer in place. Resident #113 was in bed with a heel boot in place only to the left foot.
Interview with registered nurse (RN) #163 on 10/29/19 at approximately 3:15 P.M. reported Resident #113
had a small wound to the right lateral foot. The right foot wound treatment and the peripherally inserted
central catheter (PICC) dressing were changed on 10/28/19. RN #163 reported she had clarified, since the
wound vac had been removed from the right foot surgical wound, this treatment also needed to be
completed daily. This had been explained to the resident with plans to complete this treatment later in the
evening.
Observation on 10/30/19 at 7:44 A.M. of wound treatments by Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
(APRN) #300 and licensed practical nurse (LPN) assistant director of nursing (ADON) #126 revealed a
partially closed surgical wound to the left foot which measured 17.5 centimeters (cm) by 2.9 cm by 0.5 cm
with a red wound bed and scattered slough. Observation of the right lateral foot revealed a dried wound bed
with no drainage which measured 1.5 cm by 0.8 cm by 0.1 cm. Resident #113 informed the providers
treatments were not being completed daily as ordered.
Interview on 10/30/19 at 10:06 A.M. with APRN #300 reported the surgical wound to the left foot was not
completely closed due to an active infection within the foot. All wounds were assessed weekly and the
surgical wound to the left foot and diabetic right foot ulcer had improved over the past week.
Interview on 10/30/19 at 3:33 P.M. with LPN/ADON #126 verified all wound treatments were grouped
together on the TAR and there wasn't any documentation of treatments being completed as ordered on
10/25/19 and 10/27/19.
Review of the wound specialist progress note dated 10/30/19 revealed the diabetic wound/ulcer to the right,
lateral, plantar foot measured 1.5 cm by 0.8 cm by 0.1 cm and was limited to skin breakdown without any
drainage. There wasn't any granulation within the wound bed or necrotic tissue. The area was dry and
scabbing without drainage. The surgical wound to the left foot measured 17.5 cm by 2.9 cm by 0.5 cm with
a small amount of serosanguineous drainage, medium red, pink granulation within the wound bed, and a
small amount of necrotic tissue.

dressing in place along with a non-skid sock. No heel boot was in place to the left foot. Resident #113 was
moving the right foot from the wheelchair footrest to the floor, attempting to reposition self in the wheelchair.
An interview with Resident #113, at the time of the observation, reported inability to remain up in

Observation on 10/30/19 at 7:44 A.M. of wound treatments by Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
(APRN) #300 and licensed practical nurse (LPN) assistant director of nursing (ADON) #126 revealed
Resident #113 was in bed with a heel boot in place to the left foot only. Resident #113 had a partially closed
surgical wound to the left foot and a unstageable pressure ulcer which measured 1.5 cm by 4.8 cm by 0.1
cm black eschar to the left heel. Observation of the right lateral foot revealed a diabetic ulcer with a dried
wound bed and no drainage. Black eschar was observed to the right heel and the area was assessed upon
request of the surveyor. The right heel measured 5 cm by 4 cm by 0.1 cm, black eschar. APRN #300
reported he assessed Resident #113's wounds weekly, area to right heel was not present last week, and he
was not aware of the area to the right heel until this time. Resident #113 reported wound treatments were
not being completed daily as ordered and denied any discomfort to the right heel.
Interview with Resident #113, immediately following wound treatment observation, reported staff applied
heel boots to both feet for a couple of days and then stopped applying the boot to the right foot for unknown
reasons, reporting it just remained on the chair in his room.
Interview on 10/30/19 at 10:06 A.M. with APRN #300 acknowledged Resident #113 did not have a heel
boot in place to the right foot upon entrance to the room to complete wound assessments, and reported the
resident should have had heel boots in place to both feet. Resident #113 was at high risk for skin
breakdown related to diagnosis of uncontrollable diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and
was currently being treated for a septic knee with elevated inflammatory lab results despite antibiotic
treatment. Resident #113 also required a blood transfusion late last week resulting in being on a stretcher
for hours and reported the right heel was most likely a DTI which progressed into eschar with inability to
determine when this occurred. With a treatment always being in place to the right foot, the heel would not
have been visible during care and even during treatments, with the resident experiencing pain from the
knee, it was difficult to raise the foot up to clearly observe

the heel. Resident #113 also had decreased sensation and never complained about pain to the area.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 10/30/19 at 11:31 A.M. with state tested nursing assistant (STNA) #30 reported Resident #113
only had a boot applied to the left surgical foot but was unaware of the exact reasons but thought it had
something to do with the resident only being permitted to bear weight on one foot.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 10/30/19 at 2:31 P.M. with RN #163 reported Resident #113 wore heel boots to both feet for
the first few days but then just the left foot. RN #163 reported she thought the resident only wore the heel
boot to the left foot based upon preference in order to utilize a leg lift device on the right foot. RN #163
reported she had always completed treatments to the right foot but had just started completing treatments
to the left foot, since the wound vac was discontinued a week ago. RN #163 reported the dark black area to
the right heel had been present for a while, the resident reported it wasn't anything new, and the area
continued to be wrapped with gauze.
Interview on 10/30/19 at 3:33 P.M. with LPNADON #126 verified all wound treatments were grouped
together on the TAR and there wasn't any documentation of treatments being completed as ordered on
10/25/19 and 10/27/19.
Review of wound specialist progress note dated 10/30/19 revealed an unstageable pressure ulcer,
suspected DTI, located on the left heel which measured 1.5 cm by 4.5 cm by 0.1 cm, was purple in color,
non blanching intact discoloration along the edges and black dry peeling skin in the central portion with pink
epithelialization underneath when lifted up. The area was stable with dry peeling revealing epithelial tissue
underneath. Continue skin prep and offloading boots. An unstageable pressure ulcer was also discovered
on the right heel which measured 5 cm by 4 cm by 0.1 cm without drainage, with a large amount of necrotic
tissue within the wound bed including eschar (dead tissue), and a black eschar cap. Initial assessment of
the right heel unstageable pressure ulcer was likely unavoidable due to complications from loss of
protective sensation, neuropathy, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and right knee surgical site pain
contributing to lack of mobility in the right lower extremity. In addition, Resident #113's hemoglobin was
down to 6.1 on 10/21/19 and resident ended up requiring a blood transfusion late last week for which the
resident was gone from the facility for several hours on a stretcher. Furthermore, lab tests remain elevated
contributing to systemic inflammation, despite antibiotic therapy. Treatment included betadine daily and heel
offloading boots.
Review of NPUAP Pressure Injury Stages revealed an unstageable pressure injury was defined as
full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed
because it is obscured by slough or eschar. A DTI was defined as persistent non-blanchable deep red,
maroon or purple discoloration of intact or non-intact skin. This injury results from intense and/or prolonged
pressure and shear forces at the bone-muscle interface. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual
extent of tissue injury, or may resolve without tissue loss.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and staff and resident interview, the facility failed to ensure that one
resident in need of foot care received podiatry services in a timely manner. This affected one (Resident
#11) of three residents reviewed for Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The facility census was 125.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident #11 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. The
resident had diagnoses including acute renal failure, dyspnea, benign neoplasm of brain, acute pulmonary
edema, diabetes mellitus type 2 with hyperglycemia, chronic kidney disease stage 3, dementia without
behavioral disturbance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, idiopathic peripheral
autonomic neuropathy, and mood disorder.
The facility completed a quarterly minimum data (MDS) of the resident's cognitive and physical functional
status dated 10/11/19. The 10/11/19 assessment identified the resident as having mild to moderate
cognitive deficits, and requiring the physical assistance of at least one staff person to complete all ADL,
including grooming and personal hygiene The resident was her own responsible party.
Review of Resident #11's admission packet information from the initial admission revealed the resident
signed/authorized professional ancillary services including podiatry services on 04/11/19. The authorization
for professional services dated 04/11/19 included the following language: I understand that the medical
professionals identified in the contact list on the attached page titled Professionalshave agreed to provide
services to residents of this facility, and that the facility will refer me to those Professionals to receive
services when such services are ordered by my physician, requested by me or my representative, or
otherwise deemed medically appropriate.
Review of Resident #11's electronic health record, and paper record, failed to reveal any documentation to
support that ancillary services were every discussed with the resident, the condition of the residents toe
nails were ever documented, the resident was ever offered podiatry services, or ever refused podiatry
services.
An interview was conducted with Resident #11 on 10/29/19, and observations of the resident's grooming
and hygiene were made. The resident's feet were visible at that time and her toenails were noted to be
excessively long, thick and curling over the tops of several of her toes. Resident #11 affirmed her toe nails
were very long and it bothered her to see them that long. The resident denied that the podiatrist had seen
her since admission, and the facility never offered for her to see a podiatrist.
On 10/30/19 at 11:45 A.M. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #139 was asked to observe the resident's toe
nails with the resident's permission. LPN #139 examined the resident's toe nails and affirmed the toe nails
of the residents 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toe on both feet were very long and curled over the tops of the toes and
were thick. She also affirmed the toe nail of the right great toes was excessively long and thick.
On 10/30/19 at 11:48 A.M. LPN #139 reported she thought she recalled the resident having a history of
refusing podiatry visits. She stated she was aware the resident was a diabetic and the implications if the
resident's long toe nails dug into her skin and caused trauma. LPN #139 stated that

typically the State Tested Nurse Aides (STNAs) would note that the resident's nails were trimmed on the
shower sheets, but the resident was a diabetic and they would not trim her nails.
An interview was conducted with Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #179 on 10/31/19 at 8:13 A.M. regarding
the condition of Resident #11's toe nails, and to determine if she had ever been offered, or received, any
podiatry services since admission to the facility in April of 2019. LSW #179 reported she reviewed the
social service progress notes and affirmed there was no documentation to support the resident had ever
been offered podiatry services, or refused any podiatry services. She reported that she talked with the
resident on 10/30/19 after the condition of the resident's toe nails were brought to her attention, and the
resident consented to seeing the podiatrist. LSW #179 stated the resident was going out to the podiatrist
today 10/31/19 for an appointment.
An interview was conducted with STNA #115 on 10/31/19 at 8:33 A.M. to ascertain if the STNA was aware
of the condition of the resident's toe nails, and what STNAs were responsible for in regards to resident nail
care. She reported that STNAs were responsible for clipping finger nails but not toe nails. STNA #115
reported that she assumed all residents at the facility saw the podiatrist. When asked if she had recently
worked with the resident she stated she had and affirmed the resident's toe nails were very long. STNA
#115 then stated she was aware the podiatrist was just at the facility but the resident was not on the list to
see the podiatrist, and she did not know if the resident had been on the list and refused. She added that
she does not know how residents get on the list to see the podiatrist but she could let the nurse know and
they could communicate the resident needed to be seen.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and drug manufacturer recommendations, the facility failed to ensure
medications were properly labeled and stored. This directly affected six Residents (#38, #79, #99, #120,
#121, and #220) whom had medications stored on the Recovery one and Recovery two medication carts.
Four out of seven medication carts were inspected during the survey. The facility identified eight residents
(Residents #1, #7, #53, #79, #99, #120, #121 and #220) with eye drops on the Recovery one and two
medication carts and two residents (Residents #38 and #99) with insulin on the Recovery two medication
cart. The facility census was 125.
Findings include:
1. Observation on 10/30/19 at 5:17 P.M. of the Recovery two medication cart with registered nurse (RN)
#153 revealed a vial of lantus insulin labeled with Resident #38's name was in a lantus box labeled with
Resident #99's name. RN #153 verified the insulin vial was labeled with one residents name but stored in a
box labeled with another residents name.
Continued observation of the Recovery two medication cart revealed three Levemir FlexTouch insulin pens
opened but not labeled with any resident name or prescribing information. At the time of the observation,
RN #153 verified the Levemir FlexTouch pens were not properly labeled with prescribing information
including a residents name.
Also present in the Recovery two medication cart was timolol maleate ophthalmic gel forming solution 0.25
percent (%) gel solution opened but not dated for Resident #120, which was verified by RN #153 at the time
of the observation.
Review of Levemir FlexTouch manufacturer recommendations revealed each FlexTouch was for use by a
single patient and must never be shared between patients, even if the needle was changed.
2. Observation on 10/30/19 at 5:30 P.M. of the Recovery one medication cart with licensed practical nurse
(LPN) #27 revealed timolol 0.5% eye drops were opened and not dated for Resident #121 and lumigan
0.01% eye drops for Resident #220 were opened and not dated. At the time of the observation LPN #27
verified the eye drops were opened and not dated.
Also in the Recovery one medication cart were two bottles of unopened latanoprost 0.005% eye drops for
Resident #79. Instructions on the package revealed to protect from light and refrigerate until opened. This
was verified during an interview with LPN #27 at the time of the observation, whom reported the package
indicated the eye drops were filled on 09/27/19.
Review of latanoprost manufacturer recommendations revealed store unopened containers in the
refrigerator at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit (F).

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, staff interview, and review of planned menus, the facility failed to ensure the planned
menu, approved by the facility's Registered Dietitian (RD) was followed as written. This had the potential to
affect all 27 Residents (#3, #4, #5, #6, #14, #21, #29, #30, #31, #35, #36, #45, #51, #57, #61, #64, #67,
#85, #91, #92, #98, #104, #106, #110, #115, #117, and #170) who resided on the secured Diamond unit.
The facility census was 125.
Findings include:
Meal service was observed on the Diamond unit, the secured unit for resident's with dementia, on 10/29/19
at 4:49 P.M. Registered, Licensed Dietitian (RD LD) #446 was present and observed the meal period with
the surveyor.
Hot food carriers were delivered to the unit by dietary staff, and the temperatures of the hot food were taken
by State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #191 and was found to be in acceptable ranges. STNAs were
responsible for taking the temperatures of the food, as well as plating and serving the food on the Diamond
unit. The hot food sent included lasagna, baked beans, and mashed potatoes. Cookies were also sent for
dessert.
Review of the planned menu, approved by the RD LD revealed that residents were supposed to receive 6
ounces of beef lasagna, 4 ounces of broccoli, one breadstick, and a cookie for supper. In addition,
alternatives including a 3 ounces of grilled sausage with peppers and onion, and 4 ounces of baked beans
were to also be available for service.
No broccoli, breadsticks, or sausages with peppers and onions had been delivered to the Diamond unit for
the 10/29/19 evening meal.
An interview was conducted with STNA #191 on 10/29/19 at 5:05 P.M. while she was dipping the food and
placing it on the plates for residents. The nurse aide was observed plating various meal combinations like
lasagna and baked beans, and lasagna and mashed potatoes. When asked if she had a planned menu to
follow when serving food to residents, including menus for special diets and portion sizes for each menu
items, she reported she did not. STNA #191 stated she served what was sent up from the kitchen, and
used the scoops/dipping utensil that were sent. When asked, STNA #191 affirmed there was no broccoli,
breadsticks, or the alternate menu item sausage with peppers and onion.
RD LD #446 also observed the evening meal service on the Diamond unit and affirmed that no broccoli,
breadsticks, or alternative menu items were send up from the kitchen to the unit for service. At that time RD,
LD #336 called down to the kitchen to have the missing menu items delivered to the unit.
On 10/30/19 at 12:32 P.M. STNA #67 was observed to have just completed serving the lunch time meal on
the Diamond unit. STNA #67 was interviewed at that time to ascertain how she knew if she had all the
planned menu items to serve, and what portion sized to serve. The nurse aide was also asked if she had a
planned menu, approved by RD LD #446 to follow when serving residents. She reported that she served
what was sent up by the dietary department, and that she was not aware of any menu being provided to
nursing staff, or being posted anywhere on the unit.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, staff interview, review of dish machine temperature and sanitizer logs, and review of
facility policy and procedures, the facility failed to ensure that food was stored and prepared under sanitary
conditions, and ensured that resident dishes, silverware, and food preparation and service equipment was
thoroughly sanitized after use. This had the potential to affect 122 of 125 residents of the facility. The facility
identified three Residents (#1, #12 and #82) as not receiving nothing by mouth (NPO). The facility census
was 125 residents.
Findings include:
1. A tour of the central kitchen was conducted with Dietary Director (DD) #95 on 10/28/19 beginning at 9:38
A.M. While touring the central kitchen the following was observed:
a) In the refrigerated salad preparation station and refrigerator there was a 1/3 steam table pan of vanilla
pudding that was not dated, a 1/3 pan of butterscotch pudding that was dated 10/14/19 with a white patch
of unidentified matter on the surface of the pudding, a 1/3 pan of pears that were only partially covered and
was not dated, a 1/3 pan of chocolate pudding that was not dated, and a 1/3 pan of vanilla pudding that
was not dated, a pre-made container of Coleslaw which had been opened and partially used with a
manufacture's use by date of 10/16/19, a 1/3 pan of pineapple dated 1014/19 which was only partially
covered.
DD #95 verified the contents of the salad preparation station and refrigerator as described and began
throwing out all the items observed in the salad station. He stated the facility's policy was to use all items
like fruit or pudding three days after opening.
b) In the top section refrigerated sandwich preparation and station and refrigerator there were 15 1/6th
steam table pans filled with lunch meat, cheese, and other food items used for making sandwiches. The 15
pans were loosely covered and none of the items were dated. The partially covered, undated items included
ham, turkey, corned beef, roast beef, chicken salad, tuna salad which appeared to be dried out on top, egg
salad that appeared to be discolored and dried out on top, a partial pan of mayonnaise, Swiss cheese,
American cheese, provolone cheese of which the top slice was dried out and hard, thousand island
dressing, sauerkraut, and pickles. None of the items were labeled, or dated with the prepared or dispose of
date. DD #95 verified the contents of the sandwich preparation station and refrigerator as described and
began disposing of all the food items. He reported that all the items should have been dated with the open
or preparation date, and tightly covered.
c) The interior of the microwave in use in the kitchen was heavily soiled with an accumulation of dried on
food debris throughout. Dietary Staff (DS) #33 affirmed the interior of the microwave was heavily soiled,
and it appeared to be an accumulation over time and not just a recent problem.
d) The walk-in refrigerator was examined with DD #95. In the refrigerator there was a five pound pre-made
container of egg salad with a manufacture's use by date of 09/25/19, a five pound container of pre-made
egg salad with a manufacture's use by date that was illegible. DD #95 affirmed the date and lack of a date
on the pre-made egg salad and threw the containers out.
e) While touring the central kitchen was observed to use hot food holding cabinet, for holding hot food, prior
to using it on the steam table and/or sending it up to the Diamond unit. The temperature

of the cabinet was set at 180 Fahrenheit (F). Observation of the interior of the hot food holding equipment
at 10:13 A.M. revealed several foil covered pans of food. The cook preparing lunch, [NAME] #172, was
interviewed at that time to ascertain what food was in the cabinet, and what time the food had been put in
the cabinet. [NAME] #172 reported the food in the hot cabinet was for lunch that day and it would go on the
steam table about noon. When asked what time the food was prepared and placed in the hot cabinet she
stated about 9:45 A.M. [NAME] #172 was then asked why the food was prepared and placed in the hot
cabinet nearly two and one half hours before it was going to be served she only commented, I'll know better
next time. When asked if she had taken the temperature of the hot food before putting it in the hot cabinet
she stated she had not. DD #95 was then asked to take the temperature of select items of food in the hot
cabinet. DD #95 was made aware that [NAME] #172 stated that she had put the food in the cabinet and not
taken the temperature of the food prior to placing it in the hot cabinet was shared. DD #95 using a sanitized
thermometer took the temperature of several lunch menu items in the hot cabinet. The temperature of the
pureed steak hoagies, and the mechanically soft steak hoagies, was 130 F. DD #95 returned both menu
items to the oven for proper heating and affirmed they were not at the correct temperature, and should not
have been put in the hot cabinet without having achieved a safe temperature, and so far in advance.
The facility policy titled Refrigerators and Freezers dated 07/02/19 was reviewed. Review of the policy
revealed the following language: all food shall be appropriately labeled and dated to ensure proper rotation
and safe sanitary food; perishable food or cooked food shall be discarded in 2 -3 days if unused; left overs
from meals served will note be saved for use for another meal; supervisors will be responsible for ensuring
food items in pantry, refrigerators, and freezers are not expired or past perish dates.
2. While touring the central kitchen on 10/28/19 beginning at 9:38 A.M., Dietary Staff (DS) #33 was
observed washing the breakfast dishes using the facility's commercial dish washer. DS #33 stated it was a
low temperature dish washer and used a chemical to sanitize the dishes versus hot water. DS #33 was then
asked to run a rack of dirty dishes so the temperatures of the dish machine could be taken, and for him to
test the concentration of the sanitizing solution (sodium hypochlorite/bleach). The temperature of the wash
water was 162 degrees F, and the rinse water was 157 F. DS #33 then attempted to test the concentration
of the sanitizing solution. He tested the sanitizing solution three times using the appropriate test strip and it
registered zero, or no solution, each time. DS #33 affirmed that no bleach was registering on the test strip.
On further observation the pump which was supposed to dispense the sanitizing solution into the dish
washer was not working. DS #33 stated that he had the chemical supply service company out last night as
the bleach pump/dispenser was not working right and it was working when they left. When asked if he had
checked and recorded the temperatures of the dish washer wash and rinse water prior to running the dish
washer, and checked the concentration bleach sanitizing solution, prior to washing dishes he stated he had
not. DS #33 stated that he came in and started helping where needed and DD #95 may have checked the
sanitizing solution. Review of the dish washer sanitation log revealed that no dietary staff member had
recorded the wash/rinse temperatures of the dish machine, or the concentration of the sanitizing solution,
the morning of 10/28/19. The log did indicate that the dish washing machine sanitizing solution was
checked and recorded on the log during the evening meal on 10/27/19 and was within acceptable range.
DS #33 stopped washing the dishes at 9:54 A.M. He stated he would not wash any more dishes using the
commercial dish washer, and would contact the chemical service company again. DS #33 was then asked
what was supposed to happen if the dish washer was not effectively washing or sanitizing the dishes, he
reported that washing was to stop and let DD #95 know about the situation.
DD #95 then reported that all

the dishes that had been washed thus far that morning would be corralled and not used until they could be
run through the dish washer when it was working properly, and that paper products would be used to serve
residents' food and beverages. The three compartment sink was still available for food preparation
equipment and utensils. DD #95 stated that the chemical service and supply company was contacted, as
well as the dish machine repair company.
Residents Affected - Many
On 10/28/19 at 2:39 P.M. a service technician from the chemical service/supply company was interviewed
regarding the dish machine and the problem with the sanitizer not being dispensed into the machine. He
stated a technician from the company was out yesterday, 10/27/19, and repaired the problem with the
bleach not dispensing and would not have left if was not working, or would have let staff know that it was
not working. He reported that he was going to be back out to the facility tomorrow with a new chemical
dispenser box for all the wash, rinse agent, and sanitizer for the dish washing machine. The technician
reported it was not something he could fix at that time.
On 10/28/19 at 3:37 P.M., Director of Clinical Service (DCS) #301 reported to the surveyor, along with the
service technician from the chemical service/supply company, that due to the wash and rinse temperature
of the dish washing machine being so high the sanitizing solution (sodium hypocholite/bleach) could not be
used with the machine to effectively sanitize. They shared the water temperatures of the dish washing
machine would have to be adjusted to 120 F to 140 F for the wash and rinse.
On 10/29/19 at 1:20 P.M. DCS #301 reported the dish washing machine was repaired and dietary staff were
in-serviced regarding proper operational water temperatures, and sanitizing solution concentration. The
dish washing machine was then tested and had a wash temperature of 135 F, and rinse temperature of 127
F, and the bleach sanitizing solution registering 50 - 100 parts per million.
The facility policy titled Dishwashing Machine Use was requested and reviewed. Review of the policy
revealed the following language for low temperature dishwashing machines: the wash temperature must be
greater than or equal to 130 F, and the dishwashing machine chemical sanitizer chlorine solution must be at
least 50 parts per million. The policy did not specify the maximum wash water temperature, did not specify
an acceptable rinse temperature range, and did not specify a maximum chlorine solution range.
