record review because she does not like clicking around the electronic chart. LPN #69 stated she felt
Resident #8 ' s positioning in bed could have contributed to the edema and she believed the previous
weight was incorrect as well. LPN #69 stated even if the initial weight on 09/09/25 was incorrect, Resident
#8 still had a significant weight gain from 09/15/25 to 09/19/25 and she should have called someone. LPN
#69 stated a resident with congestive heart failure who is experiencing significant weight gain could be

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of hospital records, facility policy review and interviews, the facility failed to develop
and implement comprehensive and individualized suprapubic catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder
through a small cut in the lower abdomen (just above the pubic bone) to drain urine for resident's who can't
pass urine normally through the urethra) care/interventions to prevent complications resulting in an acute
change in medical condition and hospitalization. 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. RDCO #1022 reviewed facility policies including the
Physician Order policy, Catheter Care policy, Suprapubic Catheter Replacement and Suprapubic Care
procedures to ensure they were comprehensive, and no changes were needed prior to staff education
which began on 09/25/25 at 10:00 A.M On 09/25/25 at 10:10 A.M. RDCO #1022 provided education to the
DON on Physician Orders policy, Suprapubic Cath Care and Suprapubic Cath Replacement procedures.
Beginning 09/25/25 10:15 A.M. and concluding on 09/25/25 at 5:50 P.M., education was provided in person
or via phone to all 11 current licensed nurses (seven Licensed Practical Nurses and four Registered
Nurses) by the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The education

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. A video was provided on how to do catheter care. 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. Findings include: Record review
revealed Resident #05 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including type two diabetes
mellitus, hypertension, vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B deficiency, hyperlipidemia, gastro-esophageal reflux
disease, neuromuscular bladder dysfunction, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Review of the resident's
medical record revealed a note from a hospital urology visit dated 02/19/25 that identified the resident was
complaining of his indwelling urinary catheter (Foley) was leaking and causing skin breakdown around his
scrotum. The resident was insistent that a suprapubic catheter be placed. The resident's power of attorney
was contacted and agreed to the surgical procedure to place the suprapubic catheter.Record review
revealed a physician order dated 03/25/25 by Medical Director (MD) #200 to perform suprapubic catheter
care every shift and as needed. The resident also had an order on this date to anchor the catheter tubing
and check placement every shift. Review of a hospital urology note dated 04/25/25 revealed the visit was
for a follow up related to urinary incontinence. At the request of the resident, a suprapubic tube was
inserted on 03/24/25. The resident presented today for first suprapubic tube exchange. Despite the tube,
the resident was complaining of leakage around the tube through the penis. The resident was very bothered
by the leakage. The plan was to continue with the suprapubic catheter. The note from the visit revealed
future exchanges (changes of the catheter) could be

#05's urinalysis performed on 09/21/25 revealed abnormal findings of many bacteria, yeast, and white
blood cell count too numerous to count (TNTC). Review of Resident #05's hospital record revealed a urine
culture received on 09/21/25 with results received on 09/22/25 that identified abnormal positive results of
over 100,000 colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL).Review of Resident #05's blood lab work collected
09/21/25 revealed an elevated white blood cell (WBC) count of 24. 4 (White blood cells are part of your
immune system responsible for protecting your body from infection a high white blood cell count indicates
you may have an infection. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21871-white-blood-cells). 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). Right femoral central venous
catheter (CVC) was placed (a tube inserted into the groin leading to your vena cava, a large vein emptying

lower part of your abdomen. 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. Interview with the DON on 09/24/25 at 1:14 P.M. revealed

03/25/25 by Physician Assistant (PA) #300 (who works for general surgery at a hospital). On 06/17/25
Resident #05 attended a follow up with PA #300 because the catheter was leaking. 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. Notify the
supervisor if the resident refused the procedure, any problems or complaints were made by the resident
related to the procedure. Report other information in accordance with facility policy and standards of

Resident #2 reported pain. Interview on 09/22/25 at 12:18 P.M. revealed Resident #2 stated she was
always in pain due to a bad hip and back. Resident #2 stated there were a few days, but cannot recall the
exact dates, sometime over the past week she was told they were out of her pain medication. Resident #2
stated the nurses told her they were out, and they were trying to make phone calls and get something in to
relieve the pain. Resident #2 stated her pain got worse and she felt sick. Interview on 09/22/25 at 2:00 P.M.
with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Tramadol 50 mg for Resident #2 was ordered on 09/15/25 and
was not received by the facility from the pharmacy service until 09/21/25 with seven days between ordered
date and delivery date. The DON confirmed there was no documentation of alternative pain management
methods used for Resident #2 while they were experiencing pain from 09/15/25 until 09/21/25. (The facility
was unable to state why the Tramadol order was not sent to the pharmacy when it was ordered by the
physician on 09/10/25). Review of facility policy titled Pain Assessment and Management reviewed 08/2022

treatment of pain, based on professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the
residents' choices related to pain management. This deficiency demonstrates non-compliance investigated
under Complaint Number 2623116, and 1398689.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
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. Interview on 09/17/25 at 10:00 A.M. with CNA #7 revealed the facility was not staffed
appropriately. One or two aides for A and B halls were not adequate for day or night shift, at any time. CNA
#7 reported they had 25 or more residents to care for, with the majority being totally dependent on staff for
their care. CNA #7 reported the facility was a complete mess, staff and residents were on edge and
residents were not happy nor were they receiving quality care. Resident showers and baths have been
skipped, ADL care have been missed, checks and changes do not get completed. CNA #7 reported if care
is completed, it is poor quality and very late. Answering of call lights was also delayed with CNA #7
explaining that if staff were able to answer a light, they then struggled to find help to perform resident care.
CNA #7 reported residents have become frustrated with the care delays. Interview on 09/17/25 at 10:08
A.M. with anonymous staff member #178 revealed there were two aides scheduled downstairs for part of
the day, and one aide scheduled on the upstairs unit. The staff member reported there are not enough staff
to answer call lights quickly and she feels the residents are being neglected because they do not get the
time or care they should. Interview on 09/17/25 at 2:28 P.M. with CNA #22 revealed the facility was short
staffed. The staffing had not just affected the residents' care, but also the residents themselves and their
mental health. Resident care was unable to be

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. The staff member estimated that they will
be assigned six to seven residents who require transfer assistance with a Hoyer

lift and over 25 residents total to provide care for during a shift. Nurses are pulled to help but then their
medication passes are late. Interview on 09/23/25 at 12:54 P.M. with CNA #9 revealed call lights can take at
least 30 minutes to answer, sometimes longer if the resident would require more than one staff member for
care. CNA #9 reported the facility had a lot of residents who were dependent or required two staff members
to assist with care. CNA #9 reported they were aware residents were not getting care completed timely due
to a lack of staffing. Interview on 09/23/25 at 12:56 P.M. with anonymous staff member #161 revealed there
was not enough staff to get all assigned resident care and tasks completed during their shift. Interview on
09/23/25 at 2:34 P.M. with Regional Director of Operations #1011 revealed there should be two staff
members upstairs (on the memory care unit) at all times. The facility was budgeted for an appropriate
amount of staff daily but were utilizing their staffing incorrectly. RDO #1011 reported when the nurse goes
downstairs to pass medications, an aide from downstairs should then come upstairs to be the second staff
member present. Observation on 09/24/25 from 7:29 A.M. until 7:41 A.M. revealed there were five call lights
going off on the A and B halls. Two CNAs were present and working on the units and were observed
answering call lights and assisting residents. There were no other staff members visualized or available. At
7:37 A.M., Resident #28 was seen self-propelling her wheelchair in the hallway and stated hey can you
help me to CNA #86 who was passing by. CNA #86 replied just a minute, to which Resident #28 responded
I thought this place was supposed to help you, they don't do nothing; I have an awful itch, I'm so thirsty, and
I can't get my food open. Review of the most recent facility wide assessment, page nine, for assistance with
activities of daily living revealed the facility can care for five residents dependent on staff for dressing, five
residents dependent on staff for bathing, five residents dependent on staff for transferring, and five
residents dependent on staff for toileting.Review of facility wide assessment revealed the facility requires
four full time registered nurses (RNs), four full time licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and fourteen full time
certified nurse aides (CNAs), and one part time CNA to care for five residents dependent on staff for
dressing, five residents dependent on staff for bathing, five residents dependent on staff for transferring,
and five residents dependent on staff for toileting.Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed
full time direct resident care staff include five LPN's, one Registered Nurse, twelve CNAs, and part time
direct care staff include one LPN and One CNA.Interview on 09/17/25 at 3:55 P.M. with the DON and
Facility Administrator confirmed based on the current facility assessment the facility does not have an
adequate amount of staff to care for the current resident population, and current resident needs, with
timeliness, and quality.This deficiency demonstrates non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number
2618783, 1398691, 1398690, 1398689 and 1398688.

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide specialized
memory care services as advertised. This affected seven residents (#10, #14, #20, #25, #26, #29, and #35)
of seven residents residing on the memory care unit. The facility census was 35. Findings include:Record
review revealed Resident #10 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid
schizophrenia and major depression. Record review revealed Resident #14 admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia and major depression. Record review revealed Resident #20
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia and depression. Record review
revealed Resident #25 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and
anxiety disorder. Record review revealed Resident #26 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including depression and dementia. Record review revealed Resident #29 admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including dementia and disorientation. Record review revealed Resident #35 admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including depression, adjustment disorder, and dementia. Review of a
brochure for the facility revealed there was a specialized memory care program. No additional information
was available. 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. Interview on 09/16/25 at 10:54 A.M. with ADON #67
and Admissions #76 confirmed the facility advertises they provide memory care services. ADON #67 stated
those services included activities and stimulation, crayons, and puzzles. Interview on 09/16/25 at 3:11 P.M.
with Activity Director (AD) #16 revealed she was the only member of the activity department and was
required to assist residents to the salon for the beauty shop, so there was not time to do any other activities
from 8:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. on Mondays and confirmed it was a paid service, not a provided activity. On
Wednesdays, resident shopping was the main activity, but the residents don't actually get to go shopping.
Residents give AD #16 a list of items they would like, then she does the shopping for them. AD #16 stated
the activity room was not available to residents at all times and was locked when she was gone for the day.
AD #16 confirmed the activity calendars have the same activities of beverage cart and sit and chat five
times a week, with one main activity in the afternoon consisting of a game or movie. AD #16 stated she did
not know what other activities could be offered but she felt the beverage cart was an activity because she
gets to check in on the residents as well. AD #16 also revealed the memory care unit does not have a
separate activity calendar. AD #16 stated if residents from memory care unit do not come to the downstairs
activity, there were paintings, spiral graphs and a matching game they can do on the unit which was good
for hand-eye coordination because they choose the color and shapes. Interview on 09/16/25 at 4:08 P.M.
with AD #16 revealed she was not able to locate any activity assessments for the memory care residents.

residents get to leave the unit to go to church, the residents have a positive change in mood. CNA #28
stated that since the residents were constantly on the unit and had no option for activities, when they went
to church, they were happy and excited. LPN #42 stated activities were bad, and residents complain they
have nothing to do and if there was an activity, it was Bingo and only lasted one hour. Interview on 09/18/25

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. The AD plans quality of life of each resident as well as
maintaining an open

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure residents received medically related social
services. 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. Review of a care plan dated 08/21/25 revealed Resident #30 was at risk for a
psychosocial well-being problem related to social isolation, depression and left side hemiplegia.
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. CNA #79 stated the van was
being worked on, and she was unsure when she would be able to provide transportation again. Interview on
09/16/25 at 8:58 A.M. with Social Worker (SW) #76 revealed she was also the admission Director for the
facility, and she would divide her work two days as social worker one week, and three days the next. SW
#76 stated there was one resident in the facility (#30) with a history of alcoholism who goes to AA at least
weekly, but he would like to go more. SW #76 stated the van broke down a week ago, but she was not
aware of anyone setting up transportation for him to continue going to AA in the meantime. SW #76 stated
she had not followed up with Resident #30 personally but thinks she should have provided additional
services in-house until he is able to attend AA again. SW #76 stated in clinical meetings, it was usually
discussed which appointments need transportation, but no one mentioned Resident #30. SW #76 stated
the facility does have a psych NP who comes to the facility and throughout the week, a Behavioral Health
Specialist (BHS) attends the facility daily to speak with residents, but she was not aware if they had
discussed AA. Interview on 09/16/25 at 9:20 A.M. with BHS #850 revealed she tried to see each resident
for about two hours per week. BHS #850 stated she asked Resident #30 how he was feeling, and I tried to
see what I could do for him when he could not attend AA. BHS #850 stated she was not licensed or
certified but did receive online training regarding alcoholism where she learned it affects everyone
differently and she should provide support to them, so they know she's there for them. BHS #850 stated
Resident #30 doesn't open up to her much about his feelings or his struggles with alcoholism. Interview on
09/17/25 at 9:13 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #8 revealed Resident #30 was a recovering
alcoholic and goes to AA meetings. LPN #8 stated

sometimes he had to miss meetings when things came up, but they would not allow staff to transport him or
approve new staff to be on the insurance for the facility bus. LPN #8 stated AA was the only thing Resident
#30 has to do, he knows the other attendees and related to them, and it was very important for him to go.
LPN #8 stated when Resident #30 cannot go to AA, he is down in the dumps and assumes the facility staff
does not like him. Review of a Social Services job description dated 12/02/24 revealed the social worker is
responsible for assisting residents in the achievement and maintenance of maximum psychosocial
functioning and independence; addressing difficulties with emotional adjustment to the facility through
interviews, counseling, and referrals when indicated and consults with other disciplines as appropriate;
ensures that social services are coordinated with other facility services; coordinates behavior management
programs with the assistance of other departments; provides timely and appropriate psychosocial
intervention for residents as required and documents; assess the social, emotional, and spiritual needs of
the residents and ensure the social services intervention is a part of the plan of care; ensure required social
services interventions are provided directly through the department or outside referrals; and participates in
mandatory in-services and annual conducts at least one in-service designed to increase the facility staff's
awareness of the social and emotional needs of the residents. This deficiency represents non-compliance
investigated under Complaint Number 1398689.

licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record reviews, interviews and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services to
meet the needs of each resident. This affected two residents (#30 and #2) of 24 resident's records reviewed
for pharmaceutical services. The facility census was 35. Findings include:1. Record review revealed
Resident #30 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis,
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), anxiety, major depression disorder, hyper cholesterol, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), cerebral infarction, hypothyroidism, hypertension, constipation,
and osteoporosis. Review of Resident #30's June 2025 medication administration record (MAR) revealed
an order for Debrox Otic Solution (Carbamide Peroxide (Otic) Instill five drops in both ear two times a day
for ear wax removal for three days, irrigate on the fourth day. From 06/11/25 through 06/14/25, Resident
#30's MAR for Debrox was marked as 9 for other/see nurses notes. Review of Resident #30's progress
notes revealed a note on 06/11/25 at 4:58 P.M. stating will start Debrox as ordered once received from
pharmacy. Review of Resident #30's progress notes revealed a note on 06/12/25 at 4:22 P.M. stating will

medical record revealed no evidence or documentation a physician was notified that the Deborx was
unavailable or that Resident #30 did not receive the Debrox Otic treatment as ordered. Interview on
09/16/25 at 7:20 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #88 revealed a few months ago they were
having issues getting Deborx in from the pharmacy. LPN #88 was unable to recall specific dates but
remembered sometime over the summer. LPN #88 stated with their new pharmacy (Specialty Rx) when you
press order on the MAR, it does not order over the counter (OTC) medications. For OTC medications it
sends a message to have the Director of Nursing (DON) and/or Administrator sign off to order the item,
then the request for the order is sent out, it's a long process. Interview on 09/16/25 at 7:25 A.M. with
Registered Nurse (RN) #34 revealed a while back, there was an issue receiving Debrox from the pharmacy;
it was delayed. Interview on 09/15/25 at 4:22 P.M. with the DON confirmed Resident #30 did not receive
Debrox as ordered, and a physician was not notified. 2. Resident #2 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including lung cancer, COPD, type two diabetes mellitus, brain cancer, weakness, chronic pain,

and delivered to the facility on [DATE]. Interview on 09/22/25 at 12:18 P.M. revealed Resident #2 stated she
was always in pain due to a bad hip and back. Resident #2 stated there were a few days, but cannot recall
the exact dates, sometime over the past week she was told they were out of her pain medication. Resident
#2 stated the nurses told her they were out, and they were trying to make phone calls and get something in
to relieve the pain. Resident #2 stated her pain got worse and she felt sick. Interview 09/18/25 at 7:27 A.M.
with Anonymous Staff Member #157 revealed they have difficulty getting medications from the pharmacy.
Things don't come in on time, residents go without medications, and over the counter (OTC) medications
and treatments take the longest to come in. Interview on 09/15/25 at 11:05 A.M. with an anonymous staff

Review of an email dated 09/03/25 at 3:56 P.M. from BOM #59 to CB #1215 revealed the hardware store
bill was attached because it had not been paid. BOM #59 stated when she goes into the store on her
personal time, the staff ask her when the bill for the facility will be paid and if it isn't paid soon, further action
will be taken.
Review of an email dated 09/04/25 at 3:30 P.M. from CB #1215 to BOM #59 revealed a check for half the
balance due (to the hardware store) was cut and he was aware there would still be an overdue balance but
half is better than nothing.

09/10/25 for $2,200.28 but there was a balance remaining of $2,080.39.
Interview on 09/15/25 at 8:40 A.M. with AS #170 stated corporate is terrible. Administration does not care.
Corporate doesn't care about the residents. If issues are brought up nothing is done about it. The Assistant
Director of Nursing and Director of Nursing come in all the time, they are helpful. Administration and
corporate do not care.
Interview on 09/17/25 at 9:35 A.M. with Anonymous Staff (AS) #192 revealed she did not think bills were
always paid because some supplies were delayed to the facility.
Interview on 09/17/25 at 5:12 P.M. with anonymous staff member #150 revealed the administrator is here
two days a week, maybe. They are not sure when she gets there or leaves because the door is always shut.
She sits in her office with the door shut and doesn't come out. This is not an effective administrator.
Interview on 09/18/25 at 7:27 A.M. with Anonymous Staff (AS) #157 confirmed the facility is having financial
difficulties, and it's obvious. Things are rundown. AS #157 stated they are concerned they are not going to

about the building, staff, or residents. She will ignore what you have to say, if you have concerns she's
condescending and rude. When she is here, which is rare, she is not concerned about residents safety, and
concerns are brushed under the rug like they never happened.

Interview on 09/18/25 at 7:07 P.M. with AS #147 revealed the facility Administrator is not here very much.
She's scheduled to be here two days a week and when she arrives to the facility she shuts herself in her
office. You may see the administrator if she happens to have her door cracked a little. She does not come
out of her office to make rounds, check on the facility, residents, or staff. When you or another staff member
report a concern its as if you never reported it, nothing gets done.
Residents Affected - Many
Interview on 09/22/25 at 2:15 P.M. with previous Medical Director (MD) #200 revealed he was last paid in
February (2025) but was no longer medical director after March 2025 and has not been paid for March
(2025) at the time of the survey.
Interview on 09/22/25 at 4:11 P.M. with Corporate [NAME] (CB) #1215 revealed they have multiple
accounts through the local utilities department, two are on autopay and the other two exceed the allowed
amount for autopay. CB #1215 revealed they do not always receive a notification the bills are due so they at
times receive shut off notices. CB #1215 confirmed the bills are due the same time every month and there
was no reason to wait to receive shut-off notices before bills are paid. CB #1215 stated he was unaware of
multiple bills from the fire marshal's office being overdue because the invoices were not received at the
corporate level. CB #1215 stated a local hardware store had been paid off, but after discussing the invoice
amount of over $2000 dollars due admitted a payment was made but not the entire bill. A pharmacy bill was
discussed and CB #1215 stated he was unfamiliar with the vendor. CB #1215 stated a check cannot be
issued to pay bills if there is a chance the check will bounce so it's best to ensure there is plenty of money.
When asked if a check has bounced, CB #1215 declined knowledge of such. CB #1215 stated sometimes
situations come up and money is tight but they are able to make things work by reaching out to lenders and
investors. When asked if bills were able to be paid at this time, CB #1215 stated he was not able to answer
the question because he was not the treasurer.
Interview on 09/23/25 at 10:30 A.M. with the Administrator revealed any bills or invoices sent to the facility
are given to the business office manager and she is to scan them all to accounts payable.
Interview on 09/23/25 at 2:34 P.M. with the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #1011 revealed the
building is small and not very profitable so paying bills is hard but they haven't had anything actually get
shut off.
Interview on 09/23/25 at 3:19 P.M. with Business Office Manager (BOM) #59 revealed she receives the bills
at the facility, then scans them directly to accounts payable. BOM #59 stated the department of accounts
payable has it's own email address and that is where they are sent, then the corporate staff handle
payments from there. BOM #59 confirmed she has received shut off notices from utilities, past-due bills
from Attorney General's office related to fire marshal surveys, and local overdue bills which are sent to
accounts payable and she will include CB #1215 on the emails but he doesn't often pay them.
Review of the Administrator's Job Description (undated) revealed it is the responsibility of the administrator
to prepare an annual operating budget for approval by the regional director of operations and allocate the
resources to carry out programs and activities of the facility; assist in the establishment and maintenance of
an adequate accounting system that reflects the operating cost of the facility; review and interpret monthly
financial statements and provide such information to the regional director of operations; ensure that
adequate financial records and cost reports are submitted to authorized government agencies as required

2. 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. Diet Tech (DT)
#205 was told to give DD #39 training and guidance, yet DT #205 came to the facility only every two weeks.
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. DD #39 verified the dietary schedules reflected current staffing of only two dietary
cooks,
