Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the clinical record and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure care and services were provided in accordance with professional standards of practice that
met each resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for one of 38 residents reviewed (Resident
333).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident 333's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (the body's
ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of
carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood and urine).
Interview with Resident 333 on April 14, 2025, at 1:19 PM, revealed that he receives insulin and that his
blood sugars (the amount of glucose in your blood) have been running high, although he is on a medication
that does elevate blood sugar.
Review of Resident 333's physician orders included: NovoLog (Insulin Aspart- rapid acting insulin) Flex-Pen
(disposable dial a dose insulin pen) Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 200 = 0 units/ml; 201 - 250 = 2 units/ml;
251 - 300 = 4 units/ml; 301 - 350 = 6 units/ml; 351 - 400 = 8 units/ml ; 401 - 450 = 10 units/ml; 451 - 999 =
12 units/ml and notify provider, subcutaneously (under the skin) before meals, with a start date March 29,
2025.
Review of Resident 333's March 2025, Medication Administration Record (MAR - documentation of
medications that were administered) failed to document NovoLog administration or blood sugar monitoring
on March 30th and 31st.
Review of Resident 333's vitals monitoring for blood sugar documented 235 ml/dl on March 30th, 2025, at
5:08 AM, and 155 ml/dl on March 31st, 2025, at 7:06 AM. Per the physician's order, Resident should've
received 2 units/ml on March 30th and shouldn't have received any insulin on March 31st.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on April 17, 2025, at 12:13 PM, it was revealed that
the expectation is that documentation would be completed on the MAR. It was also revealed that March
30th the Novolog was administered per DON's conversation with the nurse on duty at that time, and on the
31st the Novolog didn't need to be administered.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on clinical record review, facility incident report review, and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure the resident receives adequate supervision to prevent accidents for one of 38
residents reviewed (Resident 339).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 339's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included repeated falls, dementia (a
chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders,
personality changes, and impaired reasoning), adjustment disorder with anxiety (a mental health condition
characterized by emotional or behavioral responses to a significant life change or stressor), and urinary
retention (incomplete emptying of the bladder or inability to urinate) with the use of an indwelling foley
catheter.
Review of Resident 339's care plan revealed a care plan focus for falls that included an intervention for 1:1
(one-to-one observation-one staff member to always be with resident).
Review of Resident 339's clinical record progress notes revealed an occurrence note written by a nurse
dated February 7, 2025, at 9:45 PM, which indicated that Resident 339 was on the floor in front of his
dresser, laying on his left side. He was undressed, his anti-skid socks were not in place, and his foley
catheter was dislodged and located on his bed with the balloon still inflated. The note further indicated that
the nurse was unable to reinsert a foley catheter and that Resident 339 was sent to the emergency room to
have his indwelling foley catheter placed. He had no other injuries at the time of the fall.
Review of Resident 339's facility provided incident report investigation revealed that education was
provided to staff member to not leave a 1:1 resident unattended.
Review of Employee 13's witness statement revealed the following information: she had finished giving care
to Resident 339 and he was sleeping; she went to the nursing office to talk to someone; she took only 5
minutes to put the trash outside; when she came back staff were going to Resident 339's room because he
had fallen; and that she did not imagine that he could fall that quick.
During a staff interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Assistant Nursing Home Administrator
on April 17, 2025, at 9:10 AM, the DON confirmed that Employee 13 had just stepped outside of room to
speak to nurse. She indicated that staff said Resident 339 was sound asleep and had been for a while. The
DON indicated that Employee 13 was only away for a couple of minutes and when she returned, he was on
floor. The DON indicated that facility practice for 1:1 supervision was usually only for when residents are
awake, but that Resident 339 could be fast in his actions and was to be under 1:1 supervision at all times
for his safety.
During a follow-up staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and DON on April 17, 2025, at 10:54
AM, the DON indicated that she did not feel that leaving the room to remove soiled linens and trash after
providing care while the Resident was sleeping was inappropriate. She said that it was truly an accident,
and that Employee 13 was educated, and no other incidents have occurred while 1:1 supervision at all
times has been provided.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
residents are assessed and receive appropriate treatment and services for removal of a foley catheter as
soon as possible for one of nine residents reviewed (Resident 339).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 339's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included repeated falls, dementia (a
chronic disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders,
personality changes, and impaired reasoning), benign prostatic hyperplasia (a condition in which the flow of
urine is blocked due to the enlargement of prostate gland), and urinary retention (incomplete emptying of
the bladder or inability to urinate) with the use of an indwelling foley catheter.
Review of Resident 339's clinical record progress notes revealed an orders administration note dated
February 18, 2025, at 8:14 AM, that indicated his foley catheter was not removed as ordered.
Further review of Resident 339's clinical record progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated February 18,
2025, at 10:02 AM, that indicated the urology office was called to reschedule Resident 339's foley catheter
removal and office visit appointment for that date. The appointment was rescheduled for February 25, 2025.
During a staff interview with Employee 17 (Registered Nurse) on April 16, 2025, at 2:18 PM, she indicated
that Resident 339 had an order for staff to remove his foley catheter on February 17, 2025. She indicated
that this was entered as an order to be completed by the night shift nurse. The order also included that
nursing staff were to complete a bladder scan intermittently and, if urinary retention was noted, the urology
office would see him at 10:00 AM, on February 18, 2025. If retention was too extreme before the office visit
time, the facility was to send him to the emergency room. Employee 17 indicated that the appointment had
to be rescheduled because the night shift nurse did remove Resident 339's foley catheter as ordered. She
said that the nurse said she didn't feel it was good for the Resident to go that long without catheter.
Employee 17 said that the facility contacted urology office and had to reschedule the appointment for
February 25, 2025, for the same process. Employee 17 confirmed that the assigned nurse should have
followed the physician's orders for Resident 339.
During a staff interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on April 17,
2025, at 10:52 AM, the DON confirmed that she would have expected the nurse to follow Resident 339's
physician's order for removing the catheter.

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select food service committee meeting minutes, observation, one meal test tray, and
resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide foods that are palatable,
attractive, and at appetizing temperatures at one of one meal observed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident interviews with Residents 81, 331, and, 347, obtained April 14, 2025, between 10:30 AM and
11:57 AM, revealed concerns with the temperature of hot food.
A test tray completed on South 3rd floor on April 16, 2025, at 12:47 PM, revealed adequate portions size
and the food was palatable for taste and texture for a puree diet; however, the temperature of the puree
barbecue chicken and puree lima beans weren't palatable for temperature. The test tray was placed on a
meal cart and delivered to South 3 unit with other trays being delivered at that time. 18 minutes had
elapsed between the time the test tray was prepared from the service line and presented for evaluation.
Employee 3 (Food Service Manager) took temperatures of the food items at the time the test tray was
served for evaluation. The following were the recorded highest temperatures:
puree barbecue chicken- 129.9 degrees Fahrenheit (F)
mashed potato w/gravy - 136 degrees F
puree lima beans- 120 degrees F
puree peanut butter cookie - room temp
milk- 43 degrees F
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on April 16, 2025, at 2:30 PM, the surveyor
revealed concern regarding food temperature of the puree barbecue chicken and puree lima beans. No
further information was provided.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, facility policy review, clinical record review, Center for Disease Control (CDC)
guidelines, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure staff implemented
infection control policies to prevent the spread of infection for three of six residents on transmission based
precautions reviewed (Residents 212, 277, and 554) and one of five residents observed for medication
administration (Resident 171).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include:
Facility policy, Isolation precautions, revised September 2022, read, in part, when a resident is placed on
Transmission-Based Precautions (TBP), appropriate notification is placed on the room entrance door and
on the front of the chart so that personnel and visitors are aware of the need for and type of precaution. The
signage informs the staff of the type of Center for Disease Control (CDC) precaution, instructions for use of
Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) and/or instructions to see a nurse before entering the room. When
TBP are in effect, non-critical resident-care equipment items such as a stethoscope will be dedicated to a
single resident when possible. Contact precautions are implemented for a resident suspected to be infected
with microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct contact with the resident or indirect contact with
environmental surfaces or resident-care items in the resident's environment. Staff and visitors are to wear:
gloves when entering the room and gloves are removed and hand hygiene is performed before leaving the
room; and a disposable gown upon entering the room and remove before leaving the room.
Facility policy, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs), April 2024, read, in part, EBPs are utilized to prevent
the spread of multi-drug-resistant organisms to residents. A gown and gloves are used during high contact
resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. Signs are posted on the door
indicating the type of precautions and PPE required.
Facility policy, Clostridium Difficile (CDI-inflammation of the colon caused by the bacteria clostridium
difficile), revised October 2018, read, in part, the primary reservoirs for CDI are infected people and
surfaces. Spores can persist on resident-care items and surfaces for several months and are resistant to
some common cleaning and disinfection methods. Residents with diarrhea associated with CDI are placed
on Contact Precautions. When caring for residents with CDI, staff is to maintain vigilant hand hygiene. Hand
washing with soap and water is superior for the mechanical removal of CDI spores from hands.
Review of Resident 212's clinical record revealed diagnoses that include Clostridium difficile (C. diff-a
bacterium that can cause infections, primarily diarrhea and colitis) and Lupus (a chronic autoimmune
disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, causing inflammation and
damage).
Review of the clinical record for Resident 212 revealed the Resident had loose stools (diarrhea) and a
positive culture that confirmed C. diff infection (CDI) on April 2, 2025.
Based on policy review the facility references Centers for Disease Control Guidelines for infection control,
The CDC provides comprehensive guidelines for preventing and managing CDI that included isolate
patients with possible C. diff immediately, even if you only suspect CDI. Wear gloves and gown when
treating patients, even during short visits. When CDI is confirmed, continue isolation and contact
precautions. Clean room surfaces daily with an EPA-approved spore-killing disinfectant while

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Observations on April 14, 2025, and April 15, 2025, revealed Resident 212 with EBP signage instead of
contact precautions. Resident 212's care plan failed to include wearing a gown during care and touching
surface areas, and the enhanced barrier precautions limits the use of a gown.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on April 17, 2025, at 10:15 AM, with Employee 2 (ICP-Infection Control Preventionist)
the ICP confirmed that Resident 212 should have signage indicating contact precautions instead of EBP.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on April 17, 2025, at 11:00 AM the DON confirmed
that Resident 212 should have signage indicating contact precautions.
Observation of Resident 277 on April 15, 2025, at 11:30 AM, revealed Employee 10 (Nurse Aide) entering
Resident 277's room, walk up next to the Resident's bed, asked Resident 277 what he needed, and turned
the call bell light off before exiting the room. At no time did Employee 10 apply any personal protective
equipment (PPE).
Observation of Resident 277 on April 16, 2025, at 10:42 AM, revealed Employee 11 (Nurse Aide) entering
Resident 277's room without putting on any PPE and shut the door behind her.
Observation of Resident 277 on April 16, 2025, at 11:37 AM, revealed Employee 12 (Activities Aide)
entering Resident 277's room, walked up next to the Resident's bed, handed Resident 277 a bag of snacks
from the gift shop, and then exited Resident 277's room. At no time did Employee 12 apply any PPE.
Review of Resident 277's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Klebsiella (a type of bacteria
normally found in human feces that can cause healthcare-associated infections) and benign prostatic
hyperplasia (a condition in which the flow of urine is blocked due to the enlargement of prostate gland).
Review of Resident 277's current physician orders revealed an order for Resident 277 to be on contact
precautions due to Klebsiella in his urine from April 8, 2025, until April 17, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
Review of Resident 277's care plan revealed a care plan for, infection of Klebsiella in urine, with a revision
date of April 8, 2025, with an intervention of Isolation-contact precaution.
Interview of the DON on April 17, 2025, at 12;15 PM, revealed the expectation that the employees would
have used the appropriate PPE.
Observations on April 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2025, on the wall to the right of Residents' 554 and 555 room,
were two signs. The top sign documented Enhanced Barrier Precautions; wear gloves and gown upon
entering room and complete hand hygiene prior to leaving the room; and a letter D in the top left corner.
Under the aforementioned sign was another sign containing a red stop sign with handwriting documenting
to see the nurse; without notation of window W or door bed D.
Interview with Employee 15 (Occupational Therapist) on April 15, 2025, at 10:05 AM, revealed he wasn't
sure of the what the infection/concern was in Residents' 554 and 555 room. However, when the sign is
present, you must wear the PPE that is stated when providing direct care.

signs on the wall outside of Residents' 554 and 555 room pertained to Resident 554, who has CDI.
Review of Resident 554's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included enterocolitis (inflammation of the
colon) due to clostridium difficile.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident 554's physical chart on April 17, 2025, at 9:39 AM, it failed to contain documentation on
the outside of the chart the Resident was on contact precautions.
Review of Resident 554's current physician orders included: isolation precautions-contact due to clostridium
difficile, start date April 2, 2025; Vancomycin 125 milligrams (mg) 1 capsule every 6 hours related to
clostridium difficile for 10 Days then, one capsule every 8 hours for 7 days, then one capsule every 12
hours for 7 days, then one capsule one time a day for 7 days, then one capsule every other day for 7 days,
then one capsule one time a day every 3 days for 7 days, with a start date of April 2, 2025.
Review of Resident 554's care plan included: Infection of clostridium difficile, date-initiated April 2, 2025,
revised April 3, 2025. Interventions included: isolation- contact precautions: wash hands with antimicrobial
soap upon leaving room taking care not to touch environmental surfaces, date initiated April 2, 2025; and
isolation- contact precautions: wear gloves during care, date initiated April 2, 2025; proper handwashing
after each contact, date initiated April 2, 2025.
Review of Resident 554's bowel tracking documentation revealed loose, watery stool documented for April
2nd through 16th, 2025.

Resident 555, and the transmission-based contact precaution noted by the stop sign pertained to Resident
554.
Electronic communication with the DON on April 17, 2025, at 11:23 AM, it was confirmed that Resident 555
doesn't get out of bed or utilize the restroom.
The facility failed to delineate the specific infection control practice (enhanced barrier
precaution/transmission base precaution) for Residents 554 and 555 per the signage posted outside of the
Resident's room. The signage lacked clarity as to which precaution pertained to each Resident. Although
gloves and a gown must be worn for both Residents. The transmission-based contact precaution differed in
the hand hygiene procedure (hand washing not use of a hand sanitizer) and always use PPE, to include
potential contact with surfaces in the room vice just for direct care.
