Interview on 01/29/25 at 2:51 P.M. with RD #826 revealed weekly weights were put into the medication administration record (MAR) and would auto populate so the nurses would know when a weight was needed. The nurses would then let the aides know who needed weighed and the nurses were to put the weight into the MAR. She confirmed there was no reweight obtained and the Resident #13 was missing weekly weights. Dietitian #826 went on to state no one told her she refused to be weighed. She confirmed the missing meal intakes and stated she got her information on how much a resident ate from nursing. 5. Review of the medical record review for Resident #41 revealed an admission date of 04/25/24. Diagnoses included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, severe sepsis without septic shock, hypertension, solitary pulmonary nodule, cerebrovascular disease, type two diabetes mellitus without complications, hyperlipidemia, shortness of breath, constipation, obesity, and chronic atrial fibrillation. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment, dated 12/12/24, revealed Resident #41 was cognitively impaired. Review of Resident #41's physician orders revealed an order dated 01/09/2025 for weekly weights once a day on Mondays to start on 01/13/25 for one month. Review of Resident #41's weights for January 2025 revealed no weekly weight was recorded for 01/13/25 and 01/27/25 per the physician order to be weighed weekly on Mondays. Observation on 01/29/25 at 11:05 A.M. with RD #826 revealed RD #826 presented a list of weekly weights for January 2025 for residents requiring weekly weights and Resident #41 was not on the weekly weight list. RD #826 stated the list was how the nursing staff identified which residents required weekly weights, in addition to the physician order. Interview on 01/29/25 at 11:05 A.M. with RD #826 verified Resident #41 had an order to be weighed weekly on Mondays to start on 01/13/25 and no weekly weights were obtained on 01/13/25 and 01/27/25. Review of the facility policy titled Weight and Height Records Policy, revised August 2023, revealed residents would have their weight obtained by certified and licensed staff at monthly intervals unless more frequent monitoring was needed as determined by resident weight record, medical condition, or clinical staff. Weight orders would be placed in the electronic medical record (EMR) if more frequent monitoring was needed than stated in facility policy.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of facility policy Nutrition Assessment, revised August 2023, revealed nurse aides were to complete food intake and record daily. Residents Affected - Some 4. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #18 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cognitive communication deficit, schizoaffective disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and constipation. Review of the MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was alert with minimal recall of current events, a weight of 177 pounds, no known swallowing disorder, and no known weight loss in the last month. Review of physician orders dated 12/11/24 revealed Resident #18 was ordered a regular diet with thin liquids, Prostat AWC (protein supplement) 30 cc twice a day, and a Mighty Shake (nutritional supplement) daily at lunch. Review of Resident #18's care plan initiated on 12/16/24 identified Resident #18 as a nutrition/hydration risk. Interventions included monitoring meals intake/records and weigh every month and as needed. Review of a dietary admission note dated 12/16/24 identified Resident #18 as at risk for malnutrition. Review of meal consumption records for December 2025 revealed Resident #18 was eating between 51 to 75 percent of her meals, however, the meal intakes were only recorded on eight of 20 meals reviewed. No meal consumption records were completed from 01/01/25 to 01/27/25. An interview on 01/27/25 at 1:10 P.M. with Resident #18's husband revealed Resident #18 required someone to feed her since she was unable to use regular cups or silverware, and she required special equipment if trying to eat by herself. The husband stated he visited her each day to assist her with eating. He stated he did not know if Resident #18 had lost weight. Observation of Resident #18 during the interview revealed she was alert with confusion and unable to answer simple or open-ended questions, so she was not a reliable source of information. An interview with Registered Dietician (RD) #826 on 01/28/25 at 11:08 A.M. revealed Resident #18 required adaptive equipment for eating that included built up silverware, scoop late and handled cup. RD #826 stated the resident was at risk of impaired nutritional status due to depression, weakness and constipation, and was consuming between 50 to 75 percent of her meals and supplements. An interview on 01/29/25 at 10:56 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #804 verified meal intake records for Resident #18 were partially documented during the month of December 2024 and not documented at all from 01/01/25 to 01/29/25. A follow up interview on 01/29/25 at 2:59 P.M. with RD #826 revealed there were meal intakes not being recorded for residents by nursing staff, so she got her information on how much a resident ate from nursing.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and interview the facility failed to give medications with an error rate of under five percent. This affected one resident (Resident #435) of two residents reviewed for medication administration. The total census was 82. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Record review of Resident #435 revealed he was admitted [DATE] and had diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute peptic ulcer with hemorrhage, and hypoxemia. He had active orders dated 01/17/25 for one pill of coenzyme Q10 30 milligrams (mg), one pill of vitamin E 268 mg, and one puff of Trelegy Ellipta (a combination inhalation medication for COPD) 200-62.5-25 micrograms. All of these medications were ordered to be given once daily between 7:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. Observation of medication administration for Resident #435 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #802 on 01/28/25 at 8:25 A.M. revealed she did not have the correct doses of coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E in the medication cart and held the medications. The Trelegy Ellipta container included specific instructions to swish and spit after administration. When the nurse administered the Trelegy Ellipta, she then exited the room without instructing the resident to swish and spit and the resident was not observed to do so before the nurse left the room. Interview with LPN #802 on 01/28/25 at 8:57 A.M. confirmed the above findings. Follow-up interview with LPN #802 on 01/28/25 at 11:18 A.M. revealed the coenzyme Q10 and correct vitamin E medications had to be ordered from pharmacy and were expected to arrive the next day, so she marked both medications as held due to not being available. The above findings identified three errors out of 28 observed opportunities for medication error, creating a total error rate of 10.7%.

Based on observation, interview, record review and review of facility policy the facility did not ensure menu spreadsheets were followed to provide appropriate portion sizes to Resident #26, #40, #43, #55 and #57 who the facility identified as receiving pureed diets. In addition, the facility did not ensure all other residents receiving meals from the kitchen received appropriate portions sizes at meals excluding Resident #441 who received a full liquid diet and Resident #64 who the facility identified as receiving nothing by mouth (NPO). The facility census was 82. Findings include: 1. Review of the facility menu Atrium Living Center Fall/Winter 2024/2025 Menus for week three revealed for dinner on 01/28/25 chicken pot pie, buttered broccoli, pineapple cup, two percent milk and coffee/tea were to be served. Review of the facility week three dinner (01/28/25) spread sheet (expanded menu) revealed for the pureed chicken pot pie no specific scoop size listed, but one #16 (two ounce) scoop was to be used for the pureed broccoli. The spreadsheet did not indicate mashed potato was to be served for the puree diets at this meal. Review of Chicken Pot Pie Pureed recipe, with a report date of 09/05/24, revealed the chicken pot pie would be prepared as directed in the recipe. Remove portions required from the prepared recipe and add to food processor and process until fine in consistency. Gradually add hot broth while processing and scrape down sides of processor with a rubber spatula and process for 30 seconds. The serving size would be two number eight (four ounce) scoops. Review of the facility document titled Resident Listing Report, dated 01/27/24, revealed a list of of all residents in the facility and their diet order. Resident #26, #40, #43, #55 and #57 had diet orders including pureed texture.

Observation on 01/28/25 at 4:20 P.M. of Dietary [NAME] (DC) #700 taking the temperature of the tray line items using a facility thermometer revealed all items were at a safe temperature with the chicken pot pie at 206 degrees Fahrenheit (F), the broccoli at 179 degrees F, the pineapple at 42 degrees F and an eight-ounce carton of milk at 38.8 degrees F. Observations throughout the tray line process on 01/28/25 from 4:20 P.M. to 5:24 P.M. revealed the chicken pot pie for the regular diets had a very thin layer of biscuit on top and some servings of the pot pie for the regular diets had very little biscuit in the portion which was served to the residents. The facility utilized a heat retention system for the food which included a heating unit that heated both the plates and metal pellets. On the stainless steel table next to the range oven behind the steam table was a stack of metal pellets sitting at room temperature instead of being in the heating unit. When the tray line was three fourths of the way completed, Dietary Supervisor (DS) #702 was observed loading the metal pellets into the heating unit leaving a minimal amount of time for the metal pellets to heat up prior to being placed in the thermal plate base on the meal tray to keep the food hot. On 01/28/25 at 5:12 P.M. as the last cart for unit three was starting to be loaded a test tray was requested by the state surveyor. The test tray was plated at 5:24 P.M. and placed on the food cart. Also at 5:24 P.M. the state surveyor touched the metal pellets in the heating unit and the pellets were not warm to the touch. At 5:26 P.M. DS #702 wheeled the cart out of the kitchen and the cart arrived on unit three at 5:29 P.M. The first meal tray was passed at 5:30 P.M. and by 5:46 P.M. all the meal trays had been passed. The test tray was then taken off the meal cart at 5:46 P.M. by DS #702 and taken to an overbed table in the hallway. Using a facility thermometer DS #702 took temperatures of the food and beverage items. As DS #702 was taking the temperatures the state surveyor was tasting the items. The coffee was 166 degrees F and tasted warm. The milk was 37 degrees F and tasted cold and not spoiled. The pineapple was 52 degrees F but still tasted cold and was palatable. The chicken pot pie was 124 degrees F and tasted warm and bland. The broccoli was 113 degrees and didn't taste warm and tasted very bland. On 01/28/25 at 5:49 P.M. DS #702 tasted the chicken pot pie and broccoli and stated the pot pie tasted a little bland and the broccoli was not hot and had no flavor. DS #702 confirmed she had added the room temperature metal pellets part way through tray line to the heating unit since there was not enough room in the unit to house all the metal pellets for tray line. 2.
