Post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent State agencies and advocacy
groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency.
Based on observations, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to have all required postings
readily accessible to all residents in the facility. This had the potential to affect all 70 residents residing in
the facility.
Findings include:
Observations during the annual survey, dated 04/28/25 to 05/01/25, revealed the required postings for
resident/resident representatives were located in the hallway outside of the building's interior locked doors.
The location of the required postings were in a location that none of the residents had access to.
Observations during the same period found that the required postings were not within the three locked
hallways of the facility in which the residents were confined to.
Interview with Residents #48 and #65 during resident council meeting on 05/01/25 at 10:25 A.M. confirmed
they have never seen documents or postings on the walls or anywhere in their living spaces to contact the
ombudsman or the state department of health. They confirmed they would like to know this information.
Interview with Activities Recreation Director #195 on 05/01/25 at 10:26 A.M. confirmed the required
postings were not on the residents' living areas. She confirmed the postings were in the hallway, as people
walk to the front doors, but confirmed the residents do not have access to that area on a routine basis
(without staff supervision).
Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure accurate advanced
directive information was present throughout the medical record for Resident #3. This affected one resident
(#3) out of three residents reviewed for advanced directives. The facility census was 70.
Findings include:
Resident #3 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included neurocognitive disorder with Lewy
bodies, encephalopathy, aphasia, dysphagia, atherosclerosis, gastrostomy, major depressive disorder and
psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #3 was
severely cognitively impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of zero out of 15.
Review of the current active orders for Resident #3 revealed an order for Full Code dated [DATE]. The
banner on the electronic medical record indicated Resident #3 was a Full Code.
Review of the care plan for Resident #3 revealed the care plan stated Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care
Arrest (DNRCC Arrest) - Resident/Family has chosen a DNRCC-A status; cardio-pulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) measures will not be attempted during a cardiac arrest. The plan of care was initiated [DATE] and
revised on [DATE]. The plan of care elaborated that the Code Status will be posted in the chart, staff should
administer oxygen as needed, contact appropriate individuals if cardiac arrest occurs, control any bleeding
that occurs, position for easier respirations, position resident for comfort, and suction airway as needed. A
physician signed DNRCC-A identification form that was placed in Resident #3's chart. The plan of care also
identified with a physician's order and resident/family request the resident may be hospitalized for routine
tests and treatment.
Review of the forms in the electronic medical record confirmed there was a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form
filed in the electronic medical record on [DATE] indicating Resident #3's code status is DNRCC-A.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:40 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #179 confirmed the electronic medical
record indicated Resident #3 was a Full Code and the banner on the electronic medical record was where
the staff would look to verify if the resident was a Full Code or DNR.
Interview on [DATE] at 02:45 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the electronic medical
record banner (and order) stated Full Code and there was a DNR form in the chart for DNRCC-A.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:30 P.M. with the DON and Senior Administrator #206 confirmed Resident #3's
electronic medical record does display and order for Full Code with care planning and documentation
indicating Resident #3's code status was DNRCC-A. The electronic medical record platform changed
[DATE] and there have been some issues with the transfer of historical data, so all records will be audited
for accuracy.
Review of the policy Resident Rights Regarding Treatment and Advanced Directives, dated [DATE],

dated 01/15/25, revealed that Resident #53 did have violent behaviors, and staff put her in her room to

Interview on 05/01/25 at 11:09 A.M with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that there were no incident
reports, documentation or restraint assessments for Resident #53.
Review of the facility Restraint Free Environment policy, dated 06/01/24, stated that medical symptoms
warranting the use of restraints should be documented in the resident's medical record. The resident's
record needs to include documentation that less restrictive alternatives were attempted to treat the medical
symptom but were ineffective, on-going re-evaluation of the need for restraint, and effectiveness of the
restraint in treating the medical symptom. The care plan should be updated accordingly to include the
development and implementation of interventions to address any risks related to the use of the restraint.

bruising/redness/swelling to her right eye; the care plan that was implemented on 04/16/25 should have
been implemented for the bruise that occurred on 12/31/24. She confirmed when monitoring a bruise, there
should be descriptors (size, color, etc.) each week that were documented on a skin assessment document.
She confirmed she would have to look for those documents to determine if that occurred.

manner and failed to obtain food temperatures in a sanitary manner. This had the potential to affect all 69
residents who consumed food from the kitchen. Resident #3 consumed nothing by mouth. The facility

the grate. He reported this area drained from the dishwasher.
Interview on 05/01/25 at 9:10 A.M. with Maintenance Director #117 indicated that the grate not only
received backflow from the dishwasher but was also subject to the kitchen staff's sweeping and mopping
and he and the kitchen staff should be responsible for cleaning it.
2. Observation on 04/30/25 beginning at 11:45 A.M. revealed [NAME] #175 taking temperatures of the food
on the hot holding unit prior to meal service. She obtained the temperature of the baked beans and then
used an alcohol swab and obtained the temperature of the hot dogs, she used the same alcohol swab and
moved on to the next food. [NAME] #175 obtained the temperature of the ground hot dog and used a new
alcohol swab, she then obtained the temperature of the puree beans and used the same alcohol swab, she
then moved on to the next food. [NAME] #175 obtained the temperature of the puree hot dog and used a
new alcohol swab and then obtained the temperature of the string beans, she then moved on to the next
