**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, staff interview, medical record review, and facility document and policy review, the facility failed
to ensure services were provided to meet professional nursing standards of clinical practice when staff
failed to date or initial intravenous tubing or a peripherally inserted central catheter line dressing when
changed and failed to date and initial a wound dressing as required. This affected one (#41) of five
residents reviewed for care and services. The census was 83. Findings include: Review of Resident #41's
medical record revealed the resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] and most recently admitted the
resident on 06/06/25. Medical diagnoses included acute osteomyelitis of the left ankle and foot and
osteomyelitis of the vertebra, sacral, and sacrococcygeal region.Review of an admission Minimum Data Set
(MDS) assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 06/12/25, revealed Resident #41 had a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of three (3), which indicated the resident had severe
cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #41 had one stage 3 (full-thickness skin
loss), one stage four (4) pressure ulcer (full-thickness skin and tissue loss), and a surgical wound. The MDS
assessment further revealed Resident #41 received intravenous (IV) antibiotics during the look-back
period.Review of Resident #41's care plan report included a focus area initiated 06/06/25 that indicated the
resident had the potential for infection due to the presence of an IV site (a peripherally inserted central
catheter [PICC] in the right upper extremity). Interventions directed staff to change the dressing to the IV
site per clinician orders and to change the tubing every 24 hours. Resident #41's care plan report included
a focus area initiated on 06/06/25 that indicated the resident had an infection of the sacrum, left ankle, and
acute osteomyelitis. Interventions directed staff to administer antibiotic medications as ordered. Resident
#41's care plan report included a focus area initiated on 06/06/25 that indicated the resident was on IV
medications related to osteomyelitis. Interventions directed staff to observe the right arm PICC dressing
every shift and change the dressing and record observations of the site every Sunday and as needed.
Resident #41's care plan report included a focus area initiated on 06/21/25 that indicated the resident had a
large skin tear to the right forearm related to fragile skin. Interventions directed staff to administer
treatments as ordered and monitor for effectiveness.Review of Resident #41's order summary report
contained an order dated 06/06/25 that directed staff to change the resident's IV tubing every 24 hours, one
time a day; to change the PICC dressing and needleless connector every week and as needed (pro re nata;
prn) for soiled dressing; and to change the PICC dressing and needleless connector every week and prn
every day shift every Sunday. The order summary report also contained a physician order dated 06/21/25 to
cleanse the right forearm skin tear each day shift with normal saline, pat dry, apply gauze, and cover with
retention tape. The order summary report contained a physician order dated 06/24/25 for two (2) grams of
reconstituted Fetroja (antibiotic) IV solution via IV every eight hours related to acute osteomyelitis of the left
ankle and foot and osteomyelitis of the

canned food area. She stated the dented cans were put in the Chef's office for credit. She stated dented
cans should not be used because they could cause illness to the residents. She stated she did not help
stock the last order that was received. She stated the Chef was responsible for checking and screening the
canned goods. During an interview on 06/26/25 at 3:50 P.M., the Regional Chef (RC) stated dented cans
should be separated and returned for credit. He stated botulism and other foodborne illness could occur if
air entered the canned goods. During an interview on 06/26/25 at 3:51 P.M., the Registered Dietitian (RD)
stated that dented cans should be set aside and returned for credit. She stated canned goods should be
received and inspected while being put away on the racks. She stated dented cans should be screened
because, if the seal was broken, botulism could grow in the canned foods.During an interview on 06/27/25
at 10:08 A.M., the Administrator stated food from dented cans would not be served and canned goods
should be reviewed and designated for removal if dented. Review of a facility policy titled, Receiving,
revised in 06/2015, indicated, the facility will ensure all food items and kitchen supplies purchased are
received properly. When a vendor arrives with food, he/she will bring food items and kitchen supplies to the
main kitchen and places items in the dry storage room or walk-in. The food will be received by a cook, the
dietary manager or designee. After receiving, one of the above personnel will check in the food items and
make sure all items ordered are accounted for. If an item is missing, the driver/vendor will be asked to
deduct the item from the bill. If an item is of poor quality, it can be refused, and the items should be
deducted from the bill.

Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure wound care was
documented accurately for one (#82) of three residents sampled for pressure ulcers. The census was 83.
Findings include:Review of Resident #82's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/05/25.
Diagnoses included multiple sclerosis, morbid obesity, hyperlipidemia, major depressive disorder, anxiety
disorder, restless leg syndrome, essential hypertension, pulmonary embolism, constipation, neurogenic
bowel, and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder. Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 02/11/25, revealed Resident #82 had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14, which indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS
assessment indicated the resident was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, rolling left to right, sitting to
lying, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/shower
transfer, and to walk 10 feet. The MDS assessment further indicated that the resident had an indwelling
catheter, was always incontinent of bowel, had a stage II pressure ulcer (partial-thickness skin loss
involving the dermis), and an unstageable pressure ulcer (obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss)
present on admission. Review of Resident #82's care plan report included a focus area, dated 02/05/225,

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, resident and resident representative interview, staff interview, medical record review, facility
document and policy review, and review of corrective action documents, the facility failed to execute an
effective pest control program for the prevention and control of mice in the facility. This affected four (#5,
#12, #13, and #20) of 83 residents residing in the facility. The census was 83. Findings include: 1. Review of
Resident #5's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/14/24. Diagnoses included major
depressive disorder and adjustment disorder with anxiety.Review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)
assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 04/09/25, revealed Resident #5 had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, which indicated the resident had moderate cognitive
impairment. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #5 had no potential indicators of psychosis. During a
concurrent interview and observation in Resident #5's room on 06/23/25 at 9:29 A.M., Resident #5 stated
they saw mice in their room. Resident #5 stated they had been seeing the mice since 10/21/24, and stated
a family member had also seen them in Resident #5's room. Resident #5 stated the mice would leave when
staff opened the door, and the mice would play with the paper traps the facility placed in Resident #5's
room. A large black box was observed in the corner of the room with the name of a pest control company
engraved on it. Resident #5 stated the facility brought the black box last week, and mice had been seen in
the room since then. Resident #5 stated some of the mice were gray and some were darker gray. Resident
#5 added the mice had not torn up any of the belongings in their room, but having mice in their room made
the resident feel bad. Small black pellets that appeared to be mouse excrement (feces) were observed in
Resident #5's closet on the left side in a corner and on a sticky trap on the right side of the closet
floor.During an observation in Resident #5's room on 06/24/25 at 11:28 A.M., a small number of black
pellets that appeared to be mouse excrement were observed in the left corners of Resident #5's closet.
During an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #13 and observation in Resident #5's room on
06/24/25 at 11:31 A.M., LPN #13 looked in Resident #5's closet and stated that the black pellets looked like
mouse droppings. LPN #13 stated she had not seen any mice but had heard people scream when they saw
mice. LPN #13 stated she had worked at the facility for a year and a half, and there were mice the entire
time. LPN #13 stated the mice had become worse in the last couple of months, and the residents had
complained about mice. LPN #13 stated she did not feel like there were any risks to the residents and
thought that maintenance and the head of housekeeping were responsible for monitoring for pest
control.During an interview on 06/25/25 at 8:39 A.M., Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #7 stated she had seen
two mice about two and a half weeks prior in a resident's room. CNA #7 stated residents on the long term
care unit had complained about mice, and maintenance was responsible for monitoring pest control. CNA
#7 stated Resident #5 was upset regarding the mice.Review of a pest control company invoice dated
