This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and Actual Harm on 09/21/25 when Resident #05 was transferred to a local hospital and then life-flighted to a higher acuity hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment of sepsis and acute kidney injury secondary to a urinary tract infection. Prior to the hospitalization, facility staff failed to ensure Resident #05's orders for suprapubic catheter care, monitoring, and catheter changes were completed as ordered, documentation of care was accurate, and staff were knowledgeable on how to provide necessary suprapubic catheter care. This affected one resident (#05) of two residents reviewed for indwelling catheter care. The facility census was 35. On 09/25/25 at 8:53 A.M. the Director of Nursing (DON), Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Administrator, Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #1011, and Regional Director of Clinical Operations (RDCO) #1022 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 09/21/25 when Resident #05 was transferred to the hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment of sepsis and acute kidney injury secondary to a urinary tract infection Hospital assessment revealed the resident was hypotensive (low blood pressure), had an elevated temperature of 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F), an elevated heart rate in the 120's (tachycardic), an elevated white blood cell count (WBC) of 24.4 (normal 4.5-11), an elevated Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) of 32, and an elevated creatinine level of 2.2. The resident required surgical procedure under anesthesia to place a ureteral stent, required intravenous (IV) antibiotics, continuous IV blood pressure medication that required femoral central venous catheter (CVC) placement and internal jugular (IJ) CVC placement. The resident remained hospitalized as of 09/25/25. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/25/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On 09/21/25 at 5:19 A.M. Resident #05 was transferred to the hospital and remained in the hospital at this time. On 09/22/25 at 2:06 P.M. an audit of all 34 current residents was completed by the DON for any residents with a suprapubic catheter. At this time, no other residents noted with a suprapubic catheter. Resident #09 was identified to have an order for an indwelling urinary catheter (Foley). Resident #09 was seen by the Nurse Practitioner on 09/24/25. On 09/25/25 at 9:30 A.M. an investigation was completed by the DON of why this error occurred (to Resident #05) in order to implement corrective actions. During the investigation it was noted Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #11, #69 and #84 did not read Resident #05's order completely (related to suprapubic catheter changes) before signing the order, so they did not follow the facility's current policy and procedures. On 09/25/25 at 10:00 A.M.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few care (video was given on steps for suprapubic catheter replacement), along with the suprapubic catheter care and replacement procedure. In addition, staff were educated if they were unable to complete this task for the day as ordered, they were to report to the DON/ADON and they would assist on how to get the task completed. The DON followed up with the nurses after the education to ensure there were no unanswered questions related to the education. On 09/25/25 from 10:15 A.M. to 5:48 P.M., all current 17 Certified Nurses Assistants (CNAs) were educated by the DON on catheter care for Foley catheters using the facility Catheter Care policy.

The CNA staff were educated if they were unable to complete this task as ordered for the day they were to report to the DON/ADON and they would assist in how to get the task completed. The DON followed up with CNAs after the education to ensure there were no unanswered questions related to the education. On 09/25/25 at 2:40 P.M. the Medical Director was notified by the DON of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) concern involving Resident #05. An Ad-hoc Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting was held with Medical Director, DON, Administrator, and RDCO #1022. The IJ was reviewed, the reason for the IJ, and the facility abatement plan. On 09/25/25 (no time identified) the Administrator provided contracted staffing agencies education related to catheter care. Education would be added for the staff to review prior to picking up a shift. The DON/designee would ensure agency staff reviewed education by contacting them once they had arrived at the facility and getting a verbal acknowledgement they have reviewed. Beginning 09/25/25 the facility implemented a plan for all new staff to be verbally educated on Physician Order policy, Catheter Care policy, Suprapubic Catheter Replacement and Suprapubic Care procedures, what to do if you do not know how to change a catheter, following physician orders by the DON/designee during new hire orientation. Beginning on 09/26/25 the DON/ADON would review physician orders daily and would ensure if there were any new suprapubic catheter orders that the care and changing orders were in place and being followed. The DON/ADON would review residents with suprapubic catheters and would review catheter orders to ensure they were accurately documented when completed by going in and checking if the care and or catheter had been changed per order.Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/25/25, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility is still in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance.

Review of Resident #05's hospital record revealed a urology operation note authored by Urologist #500 which noted Resident #05 had bilateral moderate swelling of the kidneys and ureter due to urine flow obstruction (hydroureteronephrosis), a 1.1 centimeter (cm) urethral calculus and possible urethral stricture on the left kidney. Resident #05 was septic likely caused by complicated UTI. Resident #05 was brought to the hospital from an outside facility on 09/21/25 presenting with altered mental status (AMS), and a fever. Work-up revealed a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit (F), tachycardia, and hypotension. Resident #5 had a suprapubic catheter in place which had not been exchanged since April of 2025. On 09/21/25 Resident #05 underwent surgical procedures under anesthesia where their suprapubic catheter was exchanged, and urethral stent placement was performed by Urologist #500. (Review of information provided by the Cleveland Clinic https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/21795-urethral-stents revealed urethral stents placement is a surgical procedure used to hold your ureters open to allow (urine) to flow easily from your kidneys into your bladder).Review of Resident #05's hospital records dated 09/22/25 revealed a progress note by Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) Nurse Practitioner (NP) #800 indicating Resident #05 was admitted with concerns of septic shock, initially presenting to the first hospital on [DATE] from a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) due to altered mental status. The resident's urine and suprapubic catheter was purulent. Computed tomography scan (CT) showed right urethral calculus with possible left urethral stricture and the resident was life-flighted to another hospital for high acuity care and complicated UTI. Resident #05 underwent urgent bilateral double J-uteral stent and catheter exchange. Resident #05's blood pressure became low (hypotensive) and he was given two liters of fluid and remained hypotensive, so Levophed was started at 0.15 microgram per kilogram per minute (mcg/kg/min). (Levophed is used to increase and maintain blood pressure in limited, short term serious health situations such as septic shock, a life threatening condition resulting in extremely low blood pressure from an infection and in critical hypotension https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22610-norepinephrine-noradrenaline). The hospital record also noted Resident #05 was given intravenous (IV) antibiotic Zosyn and Vancomycin. Resident #05 was also found to have excess fluid in the kidneys due to back-up of urine (hydronephrosis). Resident #05 continued to have purulent and sediment drainage from suprapubic catheter. Vasopressin and hydrocortisone were added for continued hypotension. (Vasopressin is a medication used to treat low blood pressure, infused into a vein and given in a hospital or clinic setting https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/19734-vasopressin-adh-injection).

Risks and possible complications of a suprapubic catheter include blockage preventing the catheter from draining, UTI's, and urine leakage around the catheter, and bladder stones. It's important to keep the area around your suprapubic catheter clean.Interview on 09/23/25 at 7:59 A.M. with LPN #69 revealed Resident #05 always had pain in his legs during his stay but felt it was nothing out of the ordinary. LPN #69 stated Resident #05's catheter and penis would leak (urine) at times due to position. LPN #69 denied ever changing Resident #05's suprapubic catheter (even though there was a physician order to do so) because the LPN stated staff had been told not change it unless there was an obstruction or something as changing it would increase the risk of infection. The LPN indicated staff only changed the urine collection catheter bag. Interview on 09/23/25 at 8:28 A.M. with anonymous staff member (ASM) #170 revealed CNA staff were responsible to perform catheter care. ASM #170 stated Resident #05's catheter had never been changed at all by any staff in the facility. ASM #170 stated Resident #05 knew it was supposed to be changed and was not being done. The ASM revealed Resident #05 would ask staff to change it but it still was not changed. ASM #170 stated during interview that he/she had witnessed nurses, who they did not want to name, tell Resident #05 there was no (physician) order to change his catheter. ASM #170 stated Resident #05's catheter was also not cleaned every shift as it should be, things were skipped and missed because staffing was so low they had to prioritize what they could get done and unfortunately things weren't getting done.Interview on 09/23/25 at 12:54 P.M with CNA #09 revealed the CNA was aware Resident #05 had a suprapubic catheter. CNA #09 stated care had been delayed or not completed due to lack of staff. CNA #09 stated Resident #05 was to receive catheter care every shift, but it was not completed because they did not have enough staff to get to all tasks of the shift. The CNA revealed they would inform the next shift of tasks not completed but it was unlikely the care would be completed. CNA #09 was unaware if the resident suprapubic catheter was being changed as ordered but verified catheter care was not being completed as ordered. Interview on 09/23/25 at 4:50 P.M. with LPN #11 revealed the LPN worked a shift one day at the facility on 07/25/25 during the day shift. During the interview, LPN #11 denied changing Resident #05's suprapubic catheter. Interview on 09/24/25 at 10:05 A.M. with Medical Director (MD) #200 revealed he was never notified of Resident #05's suprapubic catheter not being changed monthly per order. MD #200 stated when someone gets a catheter, or a suprapubic catheter placed they work together with urology to ensure the plan of care was appropriate and see if urology has any recommendation. If someone had a catheter that placed them at a higher risk of infection, having a catheter that had not been changed out in months would increase a person's risk of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI). Per MD #200 some symptoms of a UTI included fever, chills, burning sensation, and back pain. Depending on the medical condition and how severe the infection was, a UTI could lead to sepsis. Interview with the DON on 09/24/25 at 11:52 A.M. revealed Resident #05 had been seen on 06/17/25 by general surgery, who placed the suprapubic catheter but had not been seen by a urologist since. The DON stated Resident #05 had a urologist but the resident was not able to make the drive, that it was too far (for the resident to travel) so they were trying to find the resident a new urologist. The DON confirmed there was no documentation of Resident #05 refusing to see the urologist. Interview on 09/24/25 at 12:53 P.M. with Medical Intensive Care Unit Registered Nurse #21 revealed as of this time Resident #05 remained in intensive care for treatment. During Resident #05's stay he had required two intravenous blood pressure medications which were Levophed and Vasopressin. Resident #05 originally had a femoral intravenous catheter that was then replaced with an IJ CVC. The RN revealed the resident was being treated for sepsis (urosepsis) caused by a UTI.

The DON revealed this was the last appointment he attended regarding the catheter and the facility was told by PA #300 they switched the catheter out, however they never received information confirming documentation it was changed out. Review of Resident #05's medical record including nursing notes revealed there was no record or nursing notes of the suprapubic catheter being placed during the visit on 03/25/25 or changed during a follow-up medical visit on 06/17/25. Interview with LPN #84 on 09/25/25 at 7:50 A.M. revealed the LPN had never personally changed Resident #05's suprapubic catheter. During the interview, the LPN denied having received training on how to do it and stated he/she wouldn't know how. To the LPNs knowledge the resident never had a physician order to change the catheter. Interview on 09/25/25 at 8:45 A.M. with the DON revealed she had spoken with LPN #84 and LPN #69 who revealed they had signed the catheter change as being completed because they thought it was just for the catheter bag (urinary collection bag) itself (not the actual catheter). The DON stated she believed there may have been confusion due to the facility not regularly changing indwelling Foley catheters due to the risk of infection.Interview on 09/25/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Medical Intensive Care Unit Physician #803 revealed Resident #05 was currently still under his care in the ICU. Physician #803 stated Resident #05's suprapubic catheter not being changed as ordered and catheter care not being completed as it should, led to the development of a UTI causing Resident #05 to become septic and in the condition he was in.Review of facility policy reviewed 04/28/25 titled Catheter Care revealed upon completion of catheter care document care was given.

Based on observation, interview, record review, and review of the facility assessment tool, the facility failed to ensure sufficiency nursing staff was available to provide timely and appropriate nursing and nursing-related services to residents. This had the potential to affect all residents. The facility census was 35. Findings include: Interview on 09/15/25 at 8:19 A.M. with anonymous staff member #170 revealed there were a lot of times where Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) were on the floor by themselves, and on the weekends the facility had a lot of staff call off. Anonymous staff member #170 reported there were not enough CNAs to care for the residents as there were so many residents who were completely dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs). The staff member continued that a lot of tasks and care for residents, such as bathing and oral care could not be completed in a timely manner, and feeding assistance provided to residents was rushed due to a lack of staff. Anonymous staff member #170 reported call lights take a long time to answer as the limited staff were unable to be everywhere at once. The staff member reported there had been multiple occasions where tasks requiring two staff members, such as Hoyer lifts, were completed with only one staff member due to staffing levels. Anonymous staff member #170 reported the facility used to have more staff but now the staffing levels were not safe. Observation during a resident council meeting on 09/15/25 at 1:26 P.M. revealed Resident #30 stated call lights take awhile to get answered, estimating a wait time of an hour or so for staff to answer the call light. Resident #30 reported staff were trying, but there were not enough staff members. Observation of the A and B hall nurse's station on 09/16/25 from 8:04 A.M. until 9:04 A.M. revealed the facility phone received three separate calls, none of which were answered by staff. At 9:09 A.M., the nurse's station received a call from the memory care unit. No staff members were available at the desk to answer the call from the memory care unit to see what the staff in the unit needed. Interview on 09/17/25 at 9:13 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #8 revealed she typically works the A hall and the memory care unit. LPN #8 reported there are two nurses in the facility, one takes the A hall and the memory care unit, the other takes the B hall and the assisted living part of the facility. LPN #8 reported there are two CNAs assigned downstairs, one who works a 12-hour shift and another who works an 8-hour shift, and there is one CNA upstairs for a 12-hour shift. When the CNA working the 8-hour shift leaves, the CNA working upstairs must go downstairs to help, leaving the nurse upstairs alone.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many completed timely and was consistently provided late. CNA #22 reported showers were difficult to get completed and typically were not always completed. Overall, there was not a sufficient amount of staff to meet the residents' needs. CNA #22 estimated residents wait over 30 minutes consistently for assistance. Staff assigned to the memory care unit work alone except for when the nurse comes to administer resident medications. Observation on 09/17/25 at 2:45 P.M. of CNA #54 and LPN #8 revealed the two entered a residents' room to assist the resident with toileting. Continued observation revealed there were no other staff on the unit to supervise the other residents. Interview on 09/17/25 at 2:49 P.M. with CNA #54 and LPN #8 confirmed they entered a resident's room to provide care to the residents and there was not another staff member present on the unit to supervise the other residents. Interview on 09/18/25 at 2:03 P.M. with Resident #4 revealed they had concerns related to staffing. On night shift, Resident #4 reported she does not feel safe. There are not enough staff, and when staff get her up, they do not use her walker, but they hold her body up on their own. Resident #4 reported feeling scared she was going to fall during transfers. Resident #4 reported it seemed like there were not enough staff, as she has had to wait for over an hour to go to the bathroom and has had accidents from having to wait. One (unnamed) staff member told her they could only change her sheets once weekly and she would like them changed on shower days. Resident #4 additionally reported staff rushed her during care and will not allow her to pick out her outfit for the day which is something she enjoys. Interview on 09/18/25 at 2:24 P.M. with Resident #2 revealed staff is low and there were not a lot of staff members. Resident #2 reported being told to wait a lot because staff have something else to do and state they will be in when they are done. Resident #2 reported it takes at least 30 minutes for the call light to be answered. Interview on 09/18/25 at 6:41 P.M. with anonymous staff member #109 revealed their biggest concern was the safety of the residents due to staffing. The staff member reported there were not enough CNAs to give the residents proper care. On night shift, only one CNA will be upstairs and one aide downstairs. There are several residents who required two person assist and Hoyer lifts for transferring, and it is difficult to get tasks done with one aide. Staff are told to ask for help but when everyone is in a meeting, or it's the weekend or night shift and no one is around when residents are requesting assistance, staff have completed tasks which required two staff members by themselves. The staff member reported there have been multiple days and nights resident showers did not get completed. The staff member reported being scared something was going to happen to a resident. Anonymous staff member #109 estimated that call lights take approximately half an hour to answer, and from there it could be longer to begin the task. Residents are not being provided with incontinence care as frequently as they should, nor are they getting turned due to lack of staffing. Interview on 09/18/25 at 7:01 P.M. with CNA #28 revealed staffing was a big concern and believed the care residents received was severely lacking. CNA #28 reported at times they were the only person on the floor. If help was needed, someone may try to come from another floor, but it was hard to assist without leaving any of the floors unattended. CNA #28 reported they tried not to let call lights go for longer than an hour before they were answered, but if they needed a second staff member to complete a task it was hard to know how long it would take to assist the resident. Turning and repositioning and incontinence care were not getting completed for residents due to low staffing levels. Interview on 09/19/25 at 10:05 A.M. with anonymous staff member #191 revealed there was never enough staff at the facility. Residents may get care completed, but it's not quality or timely care. Showers were not getting done per preference because there were not enough staff. Corporate was constantly stating hours needed cut regardless of resident care.

Review of a flier for the facility revealed the facility was your partner in memory care and they specialize in addressing the unique challenges of dementia, ensuring your loved ones receive the compassionate and expert care they deserve. Observation on 09/16/25 at 9:20 A.M. of the memory care unit revealed one certified nursing assistant (CNA) was seated at the nurses station, two residents were seated in the common area watching television, but the volume was turned down low, and there were no other residents in the common area. Interview on 09/16/25 at 10:38 A.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #67 revealed the locked unit is not a memory care unit, but it is a unit where people with memory concerns go for safety. ADON #67 stated there was not a specific memory care program that was followed for the unit, but there was an in-service on dementia care everyone had to complete when hired and annually. ADON #67 stated the memory care unit was staffed with one aide, and the activities provided for the residents were the same as the rest of the facility.

F 0744 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many specialized memory care unit. They do nothing that specializes in memory care. The memory care residents do not have any activities to participate in. The residents receive no interaction or anything to provide them with stimulation. There was only one person on the unit, so you do your best to get everyone fed, changed, and try to keep them clean and that's about it. The care was the same as downstairs, other than the unit upstairs was locked, there was nothing specialized about the memory care unit. Interview on 09/18/25 at 7:27 A.M. with Anonymous Staff Member #157 revealed the memory care unit staffing was unsafe. If someone was occupied doing something (for example changing residents, dining room etc.) stuff could happen, and you wouldn't see it. The unit could go 15 minutes, sometimes longer, while someone was in a room and a lot could happen in that time. It was not safe to have one person upstairs; and that was all that was provided on every shift. Day shift was even worse while working memory care, everyone was awake, you have meals, there was a big difference, and if that nurse has A-hall, she has to pass medications upstairs and downstairs and oversee those residents and you cannot be two places at once. There was always an aide on memory care, but it was not safe. It makes you sick to come to work and knowing you will be by yourself and what if something happens. Interview on 09/18/25 at 2:29 P.M. with Resident #26's family stated they were not provided with information on why memory care was beneficial. They stated they were told there were less residents on the memory care unit and they could provide better supervision. Resident #26's family stated they would expect a memory care unit to provide things to keep the residents' minds active such as word searches, puzzles and coloring. They stated that at another facility, they saw residents provided with volleyball, exercising, and encouraging activities. Interview on 09/18/25 at 3:03 P.M. with Resident #26's family revealed she was placed on the memory care unit for exit seeking. They stated they would expect crafts, cooking, movies, and whatever else they might enjoy. Resident #26's family stated they did not feel comfortable with less than two staff on the unit at a time due to the level of attention the residents need. Interview on 09/18/25 at 3:14 P.M. with Resident #35's family revealed sometimes there was an activity, usually around holidays. Resident #35's family stated they felt more than one staff member would be needed for the unit because otherwise the residents would be neglected. Interview on 09/18/25 at 7:05 P.M. with CNA #28 revealed being on your own on memory care was difficult. You cannot ensure everything was done timely and with good quality when you were by yourself. If you were doing activities of daily living (ADL) care, you do not know how long you would be; during that time there was no one monitoring the residents. This was a huge safety concern, so many things could happen at that time, and you were not able to see what was going on. Interview on 09/27/25 at 1:50 P.M. with CNA #30 revealed activities were challenging on memory care, there was only one person available, and you have to keep an eye on everything and everyone. You have to stay with the residents. Interview on 09/23/25 at 12:56 A.M. with Anonymous Staff Member #161 revealed it was hard being by yourself on memory care. It was impossible for one aide to be there by themselves and be able to keep an eye on everyone and provide timely, quality care. Then, the nurse runs back and forth. The nurse can be upstairs by themselves and try to pass medications, answer lights, do assessments and ensure safety. Having one person on memory care was a safety concern because you do not have eyes on the floor and if something goes wrong, when will you see it, how will you notify someone. If there is an emergency, it's scary. Review of a job description for the Activity Director dated 05/24/22 revealed the AD supervises an activity program appropriate to meet the physical, social, cultural, spiritual, emotional, and recreational needs and interests of each resident; provides the opportunity for residents to engage in normal pursuits; as well as promoting a successful and well-balanced leisure lifestyle.

This affected one resident (#30) of one resident reviewed for psychosocial well-being. The facility census was 35. Findings include:Record review revealed Resident #30 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depression, anxiety disorder, and alcohol dependence in remission. Review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS) completed on 08/09/25 revealed Resident #30 had mildly impaired cognition and no behaviors.

Interventions included but were not limited to psych services as needed, allow the resident time to answer questions and to verbalize feelings and fears, and provide opportunities for the resident to make his own decisions. Review of a psychiatric note dated 09/10/25 by Nurse Practitioner (NP) #822 revealed Resident #30 goes to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings and he would like to go to as many as possible since he cannot go to many during the winter due to weather. Interview on 09/15/25 at 3:10 P.M. with Resident #30 revealed he enjoys going to AA meetings because they provide a supportive community and it is the most social interaction he gets. Resident #30 stated he does not often get visitors and only gets to speak to his family on the phone, so the attendees of AA are like his second family, and it is important for him to attend as often as possible. Resident #30 stated the van broke down a week ago, and he was not able to go to AA meetings. Resident #30 stated he was unaware the facility had a social worker, but no one had been in to offer him additional support until the facility is able to transport him to AA meetings again. Interview on 09/16/25 at 8:27 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #79 revealed she drives the transportation van to appointments. CNA #79 stated during a transport on 09/08/25, a deer ran into the side of the van and hit the radiator causing the van to break down. CNA #79 stated Resident #30 missed two AA meetings on 09/09/25 and 09/12/25 and would miss a meeting on 09/16/25 as well.

Observation of the kitchen on 09/11/25 at 7:23 A.M. revealed two dietary staff members were present which included Dietary Aide (DA) #36 and Dietary [NAME] (DC) #25 who were preparing breakfast. No other dietary staff were present in the facility at that time. Review of the kitchen schedule for dietary staff for July 2025 revealed two full time dietary cooks, two full time dietary aides, and one dietary director acting as a dietary aide and cook due to short staffing. Review of the kitchen schedule for dietary staff for August 2025 revealed two dietary cooks, two dietary aides, and one dietary director acting as a dietary aide and cook due to short staffing. Review of the kitchen schedule for dietary staff for September of 2025 revealed one dietary cook, two dietary aides, and one dietary director acting as a dietary aide and cook due to short staffing. Review of the Facility Assessment, dated 06/17/25, revealed the staffing plan was based on the resident population and their needs for care and support in order to have sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents at any given time. For the dietary staff to meet the needs of the residents would include three full-time dietary cooks, two full time dietary aides, and one part time dietary aide. Record Review of Dietary Director #39's personnel file revealed an evaluation completed on 08/11/25 and signed by the facility administrator stating decrease over time (OT). A confidential interview with Staff Member (SM) #191 on 09/11/25 at 12:30 P.M. revealed the kitchen was short staffed so it was difficult to get the meals prepared for the residents according to the resident needs. An interview with Dietary Director (DD) #39 on 09/11/25 at 1:46 P.M. revealed the previous manager was gone for approximately two months before a new dietary manager took over the position.

DT #205 attempted to secure training at a different site for DD #39 but it never went through. DD #39 stated they were told to watch overtime for the dietary employees even though they were short staffed in the kitchen. DD #39 stated currently there were only four full-time kitchen staff members that included DD #39. DD #39 verified they had to fill the role of a full-time aide or cook everyday and still get managerial duties completed while attempting to not accumulate over-time hours as instructed by the Administrator. DD #39 stated the kitchen was open and running for about 98 hours a week depending on how much food preparation, cook time, and clean up there was and the kitchen was open 365 days a year with only four staff members. DD #39 stated the kitchen made all meals and snacks for the residents in the facility but was also responsible for making all meals and snacks for the assisted living facility. DD #39 stated the kitchen staff attempted to get snacks out early for the residents, but they were to get to the floor at a certain time without having too much overtime in the kitchen so that has caused the Certified Nurses Aides (CNA's) to have to leave the resident units to go to the kitchen to get the snacks which took time away from resident care. DD #39 stated there were things not getting done in the kitchen due to the short staffing and monitoring of overtime.
