**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to notify the physician of a change in
condition for Resident #46. The deficient practice affected one resident (Resident #46) of one reviewed for
change of condition. The facility census was 58.
Findings Include:

right side facial swelling and upon palpitation it was hard and warm. Lungs were not clear and sounded
congested. Vital signs were: blood pressure 162/95, pulse 104, temperature 97.2 degrees, and oxygen
saturation was 94%. The Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) and Director of Nursing (DON) were notified via
text message and the resident's daughter was contacted and promised to be at the facility in about 25
minutes.
On 05/23/22 at 2:43 P.M., Resident #46 was seen by Physician #302. The physician indicated the staff
noted patient had redness and swelling on right side of her face. Blood pressure was slightly elevated but

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #46
was rarely or never understood. Per the staff assessment, the resident had severely impaired cognition.
Resident #46 required total dependence on two staff to complete Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 07/20/22 at 3:51 P.M. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) revealed Resident #46
started showing signs of facial swelling and redness on 05/22/22. The resident's daughter (who was a
nurse) was notified and was not in agreement to having the resident sent to the hospital at that time and
wanted to assess the resident herself. Resident #46 was stable at that time. Physician #302 assessed
Resident #46 on 05/23/22 and wanted the resident to be sent out to the hospital. Resident #46's daughter
was notified again and agreed to have the resident transported to the hospital. Resident #46 was sent out
that same evening on 05/23/22. The ADON did not know if Resident #46's condition worsened after
Physician #302 assessed her.
Interview on 07/21/22 at 10:44 A.M. with Physician #302 revealed he recalled Resident #46's parotid
infection case. The physician stated, usually we don't want to wait on that and would have the patient sent
to the hospital but with Resident #46, the daughter was a nurse and was very involved with making
healthcare decisions for the resident. The resident's daughter wanted to see the resident before she agreed
to have the resident sent to the hospital. Physician #302 stated Resident #46's face was swollen and tender
on 05/22/22. The CNP visited the resident that day and the physician's understanding was that the swelling
had worsened a little bit and she did have some congestion but was stable and started on an antibiotic.
When Physician #302 assessed Resident #46 on 05/23/22, the resident's face was pretty swollen and red
and he felt the resident needed to go to the hospital for treatment but did not feel it was an emergent (911)
situation. Physician #302 stated at that time the resident's daughter was notified that Resident #46's
condition had worsened and the daughter agreed to have the resident sent to the hospital at that time.
Physician #302 was not notified again of any additional changes in condition or that Resident #46's airway
had become compromised prior to the resident being sent to the hospital.
Interview via telephone on 07/21/22 at 12:27 P.M. with RN #230 revealed Physician #302 informed her he
felt Resident #46 had a parotid infection and should be transferred to the hospital. RN #230 stated the
resident had a low grade fever, swelling, and redness to her face. RN #230 was reminded of her note that
she entered on 05/23/22 at 6:01 P.M. that noted Resident #46's airway appeared compromised. RN #230
stated she did not recall all of the details of the incident as it was a couple of months ago. RN #230 first
indicated she was pretty sure she had called 911 to have the resident transported to the hospital but after
being informed according to the nurse's notes, the resident was not transported for approximately three
hours after being seen by the physician, the nurse stated she must have called the contracted
transportation company to transport the resident. RN #230 confirmed she did not notify the physician of any
changes in condition after she was told by the physician that the resident should go to the hospital.
Review of the facility policy,Notification Of Change Of Condition, dated 11/22/21, revealed the policy stated,
the facility will immediately inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician, nurse practitioner or
clinical nurse specialist; and if known, notify the resident's representative when there is a significant change
in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status, a need to altar treatment significantly, and when a
decision to transfer or discharge the resident from the facility.

An email from the Director of Nursing (DON) on 07/20/22 at 3:21 P.M. revealed neurological checks should
be completed every 15 minutes for one hour, every 30 minutes for one hour, every four hours for one day,
and every shift for one day. When a resident was sent to the hospital for treatment but required neurological
checks to be completed that the checks should start according to how long the resident was out of the
building and should be completed per protocol until the appropriate amount time has been completed.
Interview on 07/20/22 at 3:41 P.M. with the ADON confirmed Resident #2 should have had neurological
checks completed every four hours for one day, then every shift for one day when he returned from the
hospital. The ADON confirmed according to the documentation, staff only completed the neurological
checks on each shift.
Review of the facility policy, Falls Management, dated 12/03/19, revealed the policy stated, the
documentation in the progress notes in the resident's medical record should be written to include a
complete account of the events surrounding the fall, include notification of the family and physician and
what interventions were instituted to prevent further falls. Remember if there is evidence of head trauma or
if it is an unwitnessed fall, neurochecks must be completed per protocol. The interdisciplinary team will
meet to review the fall to determine if any additional interventions are needed. The Director of Nursing or
designee will add the IDT summation note to the medical record in the progress note following the IDT
meeting being held. The DON will then review the accident and incident form in the medical record, add the
summation of the investigation to this form and close the report in the electronic medical record.

Residents Affected - Some
care and pressed her call pendant approximately 10 minutes prior to the interview, Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) #202 revealed the staff had not logged into the call light system, therefore were not being
notified of call lights going off. Twelve minutes after initiating her call light for assistance, EA #700 entered
the residents room to provide assistance. The resident reminded the EA she was supposed to be getting
her coffee and informed her of her need for incontinence care. The EA did not dispute the residents
statement of requesting coffee previously. At 10:00 A.M., EA #700 entered the residents room, provided the
coffee, and informed the resident she would return to provide incontinence care. She exited the residents
room and resumed serving breakfast, while LPN #202 administered medication, and EA #223 revealed it
was her first day and she was observing.
Observation on 07/20/22 at 10:03 A.M. revealed Coach #237 fixed the pager so the EA could receive call
light notifications.
Observation on 07/20/22 at 10:09 A.M. with EA #700 revealed she entered Resident #5's room (27 minutes
after initiating her call light and surveyor intervention) to provide incontinence care. After providing
incontinence care the resident requested to be pulled up in bed but was informed by the STNA there was
no additional staff member to assist her.
Interview on 07/20/22 at 10:40 A.M. with EA #700 revealed due to staffing she was unable to answer call
lights timely, provide resident care immediately, and was unable to pull the resident up in bed resulting in
the resident verbalizing she was uncomfortable in bed but would lay in that position until the EA had help to
pull her up in bed.
Interview on 07/20/22 at 1:07 P.M. with Administrator revealed resident council concern forms &
appearance of the same interventions being implemented for multiple months for the same concerns
without any effectiveness was discussed. The Administrator did not seem to understand the concern and
indicated when it came to call lights, when there is a problem with the call light, the staff kept extra batteries
and checked the resident pendants. The Administrator indicated call light audits were not needed because
the houses are so small, all of rooms could be seen. The Administrator did not address response times and
what the facility had implemented to try to resolve this concern. During the same interview the DON and
ADON revealed they had done other things to address reoccurring concerns as well that are not listed on
the concern forms such as education, stimulation, reminders, weekend/evening observations, and regular
contact with the IT department.
Interview on 07/20/22 at 2:12 P.M. with EA #301 revealed she was unable to get all her job duties
completed, often times work was left undone, and care unprovided as well as long call light wait times as a
result of not having sufficient staff. She revealed most of the time the nurses do not help when needed and
management outside of Coach #237 did not help. She also revealed EA's were responsible for activities in
the house, cooking, cleaning (housekeeping), laundry, accuchecks, and resident care amongst some of
their job duties.
Interview on 7/20/22 at 4:27 P.M. with Coach #237 stated she would expect staff to answer call lights within
15 minutes at the most. She confirmed an average response of 25 minutes was not good and she was not
happy with that. She stated they are having some issues with some of the resident's pendants not resetting
when answered by staff but stated it was scattered and should not have affected the average call light wait
time significantly.
Interview on 07/21/22 at 10:48 A.M. with Coach #237 revealed normal staffing consisted of two aides for
each house, occasionally a call off occurred or an agency member did not show up so the coach,

Residents Affected - Some
scheduler, or another EA from another building would fill in while the scheduler attempted to find coverage.
She revealed long call light wait times were occasionally a concern and as a resolution the facility first
checked pendant batteries and functioning, then provided education to the aides. She confirmed another
resolution consisted of staffing each house with one permanent staff member and one agency aide but
confirmed House Three had two agency staff members all week as a result of other EA's not working well
in other houses. She confirmed the agency staff scheduled in the building during the week were not strong
which caused delay in care for residents.
Review of the facility provided long call light wait time interventions/resolutions, undated, revealed the
facility always started out with changing the batteries to the pendant and pager if needed, contact the
nurses and EA's to see if there was an issue, run a simulation which consisted of initiating the call light and
ensuring the call light was relayed to the pager, remind staff to reset the pendants, the administrator made
weekend and evening observations but could provide no documented evidence of the observation, and
staff kept in contact with the IT department regularly when there was an issue.
Review of the facility policy titled, Call System/Overhead Paging revised 05/28/14 revealed the call system
was initiated by pressing the emergency pendant or by pulling a bath cord.
Review of the facility policy titled,Emergency Staffing Plan revised 01/22/22 revealed the facility understood
the normal staffing needs and the minimum number of staff needed to provide a safe work environment and
safe patient care under normal circumstances. Further review of the policy revealed qualified partners could
be re-deployed into different roles with the facility, staff who were not affected would be contacted and
asked to pick up shifts, and temporary staffing agency(s) would be used to assist with staffing needs. The
policy revealed maintaining appropriate staffing in healthcare facilities was essential to providing a safe
work environment for healthcare personnel (HCP) and for safe patient care.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide proper
justification for the use of psychotropic medications. This affected two residents (Resident #2, and Resident
#48) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The census was 56.
Findings Include:
1. Resident #48 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses were pain in left knee, muscle
weakness, difficulty in walking, type II diabetes, hypertension, lymphedema, anxiety disorder, Alzheimer's
disease, major depressive disorder, dementia, and cognitive communication deficit.
Review of her Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 07/01/22, revealed she had a significant
cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #48 medical records revealed a physician order for Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication)
2.5 milligrams (mg). The justification documented for this medication was dementia with psychosis.
Review of Resident #48 diagnoses list and medical record, revealed she did not have a documented
diagnosis of psychosis. Also, Resident #48 had a physician order for Depakote Sprinkles (anticonvulsant
medication) 125 mg with the documented justification as Alzheimer's disease.
Interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #239 on 07/21/22 at 11:38 A.M. confirmed the

including dementia without behavioral disturbance, type II diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia, major
depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and shortness of breath (SOB).
Review of the current physician orders for July 2022 revealed Resident #2 had orders for Seroquel (an
antipsychotic) 50 milligrams (mg) daily and 100 mg at night daily related to dementia without behavioral
disturbance dated 02/09/22 and 02/10/22.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for May, June, and July 2022 revealed Resident #2
received the antipsychotic medication twice daily as ordered.
Interview on 07/21/22 at 11:43 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #2 was ordered
an antipsychotic (Seroquel) without an appropriate medical diagnosis/justification. The DON stated the
hospice physician ordered the medication and would not change the diagnosis. The DON confirmed she
was aware dementia was not an appropriate diagnosis for the antipsychotic medication.
A facility policy was requested related to appropriate justification for the use of antipsychotics during the
survey period. The only policy provided was, Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) Policy and Procedure, dated
11/29/17, that does not address the deficient practice.

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on observations, resident interview, staff interviews, and facility meal schedule review, the facility
failed to provide an adequate number of dietary staff to ensure food was delivered/served in a palatable
and appetizing manner. This had the potential to affect 12 (Residents #4, #5, #6, #9, #17 #24, #30, #36,
#38, #52, #203, and #204) of 35 residents observed for meal service.
Findings Include:
Observations on 07/20/22 from 11:45 A.M. to 12:55 P.M., revealed Elder Assistant (EA) #301 was only staff
preparing and cooking all the food items for residents in the 300 house. During the food preparation and
cooking period, no residents were being served food, because she was responsible for continuing to cook
all the resident food and prepare side dishes, including beginning stages of cutting a watermelon. At 12:25
P.M., Dietitian #300 stepped in and assisted EA #301 with cutting the watermelon so she could finish
preparing and cooking the hamburgers, baked beans and french fries. At 11:55 A.M., 12:24 P.M., and 12:46
P.M., Resident #301 told staff that was walking around her that she was hungry. She was offered (and ate)
watermelon at approximately 12:16 P.M. After eating that, she was asked if the watermelon was good. Her
response was, yes, but I'm not satisfied. I won't be satisfied until the food is in my mouth. The first plate was
served to the residents, who had been sitting in the dining room since 11:50 A.M., at 12:55 P.M. At 1:28
P.M., a test tray was completed, which revealed the following temperatures for the food: hamburger was 89
degrees, french fries were 84 degrees, and the baked beans were 101 degrees. Surveyor ate portions of
each food, and all were cold.
Interview with EA #301 on 07/20/22 at 1:30 P.M. confirmed food is constantly cold when sent to the rooms.
This is due to her having to cook/prepare everything, and then trying to serve all residents at the same
time. She confirmed residents have complained about cold food and the timeliness of being served. They
will heat up the food if a resident requests it. The schedule they have required the aides to prepare, cook,
and serve all meals, but at the same time, still provide resident care during that time. She confirmed she is
only one person and can't do everything. On 07/20/22, she confirmed they had one aide (who was feeding
a resident), another aide in training who was told she was not able to physically help anyone in the homes
yet, and her in the facility to assist the residents and complete meal service. During meals times, she stated
there was not enough staff because she was responsible for everything.
Interview with Resident #5 on 07/20/22 at 1:47 P.M. confirmed food is constantly cold when brought to her
room. She stated she does not know why it takes so long for meals to get to her; which contributes to her
meals being cold.
Review of facility Meal Times policy, dated 06/29/09, revealed lunch is a family style meal served between
11:30 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. as determined by the activities in the house each day.

Observations on 07/20/22, starting at 11:45 A.M., revealed Elder Assistant (EA) #301 started to cook lunch,
which included hamburgers, baked beans, and french fries. At 12:12 P.M., the first seven hamburgers were
completed and the cooking temperatures were between 172 and 187 degrees Fahrenheit. The hamburgers
were placed on a dinner plate and put into the microwave. At 12:34 P.M., seven more hamburgers were
cooked, with cooking temperatures being between 164 and 180 degrees. They were placed on top of the
already cooked hamburgers that were on the dinner plate. All of them were then covered with aluminum foil
and placed on the kitchen counter. At 12:43 P.M., the french fries were taken out of the oven and placed on
the stove and kitchen counter; no cooking temperature was taken but there was a sizzling sound made
from the fries on the pan. At 12:46 P.M., baked beans were taken out of the microwave after being
cooked/warmed up. The cooking temperature was not taken, but aluminum foil was placed on top of the
bowl and placed on the counter. At 12:50 P.M., the last two hamburgers were cooked and the cooking
temperature was 152 and 162 degrees. At 12:55 P.M., the first resident was served food in the dining room.
Progressively, until 1:25 P.M., EA #301 plated and served each of the 12 residents that ate lunch that day.
At 1:28 P.M., a test tray was completed, which revealed the following temperatures for the food: hamburger
was 89 degrees, french fries were 84 degrees, and the baked beans were 101 degrees. Surveyor ate
portions of each food, and all were cold.
Interview with EA #301 on 07/20/22 at 1:30 P.M. confirmed food is constantly cold when sent out to be

Interview with Resident #5 on 07/20/22 at 1:47 P.M. confirmed food is constantly cold when brought to her
room.
Interview with Dietitian #300 on 07/20/22 at 3:32 P.M. revealed the aides are supposed to serve meals to
those in the dining room as the food is cooked. He stated they should not have held all the food until it was
all cooked and then served. He confirmed the temped food at the end of service was too low, based on the
temperatures that were reported to him.

Interview with Diet Tech #203 on 07/18/22 at 10:12 A.M. confirmed the items that were opened in the
refrigerator, did not have a date on them as to when they were opened or when they should be used by.
She confirmed they should have a date.
Review of facility Food Storage Policy, dated 10/01/09, revealed the purpose of the policy was to assure all
food is stored, labeled, and dated properly to assure stock rotation and prevent food illnesses. Prepackaged
food or baking goods are marked with month and day and placed in a covered container, completed sealed
and placed in dry storage.
Based on observations, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to properly store and date
foods and failed to use appropriate hand hygiene while serving a lunch meal. The deficient practices had
the potential to affect all 24 residents who resided in the 200 and 300 houses (Residents #4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
15, 17, 21, 24, 26, 30, 34, 36, 38, 41, 43, 44, 49, 52, 103, 203, 204, and 312) and nine residents (Residents
#45, 46, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, and 159) who resided in 500 house. One resident (Resident #39) in
500 house was on a nothing by mouth (NPO) diet.
Findings Include:
Observation of Elder Assistant (EA) #249 on 07/18/22 from 12:06 P.M. to 12:14 P.M. serving lunch in the
500 house showed EA #249 wearing gloves. The EA opened the plastic bag of submarine buns with her
gloved hands, reached into the bag, and grabbed a bun from the bag. The EA placed the bun on a plate
with her gloved hands. The EA was then observed touching the handle on the pot holding the meatballs
and marinara sauce and the serving spoon. The EA picked up the plate with the meatball sub on it and
placed it on a serving tray. EA #249 doffed her gloves and threw them away but without washing her hands,
donned another pair of clean gloves. The EA then touched the outside of the plastic bag of submarine buns,
grabbed another bun out of the bag, opened a sealed bag of shredded cheese, grabbed a handful of
shredded cheese out of the bag and placed the cheese on top of the meatball sub sandwich, pressing the
cheese down on to the meatballs with her gloved hands. EA #249 did not change her gloves or complete
any hand hygiene during the rest of the observation and touched multiple other items including: a dessert
cup from the pantry, another sub bun, the serving spoon handle, more shredded cheese, a plastic cup for
salad dressing, the Ranch dressing bottle, and the lid to the Ranch dressing bottle with the same gloves on.
Interview on 07/18/22 at 12:15 P.M. with EA #249 confirmed the above findings.
