Review of the MDS assessment, dated November 8, 2023, revealed that the resident had cognitive
impairment and required assistance from staff with eating. On December 5, 2023, from 12:31 p.m. through
12:43 p.m., Nurse Aide (NA) 1 was observed standing to assist Resident 20 with lunch while the resident
was seated in the wheel chair.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 117 had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's Disease, protein
calorie malnutrition, and anxiety. Review of the MDS assessment, dated November 16, 2023, revealed the
resident had cognitive impairment, and required supervision of staff while eating. On December 5, 2023, at
12:16 p.m., Resident 117 was observed in the dining room seated next to Resident 74. Resident 117 was
observed pulling Resident 74's tray towards her and grabbing an open applesauce cup off of the resident's
tray. Resident 117 took a straw and proceeded to eat the applesauce with the edge of the straw. At no time
did staff redirect the resident.

Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure physician's orders were implemented for two of 27 sampled residents. (Resident4, 238)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the policy entitled, General Dose Preparation and Medication Administration, last reviewed April
24, 2023, revealed staff were to obtain vital signs if necessary, and document necessary medication
administration information.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 4 had diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood
pressure). A physician's order dated November 14, 2023, directed staff to administer a medication
(metoprolol succinate) once a day for hypertension. Staff were not to administer the medication if the
resident's systolic blood pressure (SBP, the first measurement of blood pressure when the heart beats and
the pressure is at its highest) was less than 180 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg). Review of Resident 4's
medication administration records (MAR) revealed that staff administered the medication 17 times in
November and six times in December 2023 when the resident's SBP was less than 180 mm/Hg.
In an interview on December 7, 2023, at 9:50 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the
medications were administered outside established parameters for Resident 4.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 238 had diagnoses that included hypertension. On November
25, 2023, the physician ordered staff to administer a blood pressure medicine (metoprolol tartrate) twice a
day. Staff were not to administer the medication if the resident's SBP was less than 90 mm/Hg or if the
heart rate (the number of times a heart beats in one minute) was less than 60. Review of Resident 238's
November and December 2023 MARs revealed that staff administered the medication 22 times with no
documentation that the blood pressure and heart rate was assessed prior to medication administration per
physician's order.
In an interview on December 7, 2023, at 1:20 p.m., the DON confirmed there was documented evidence
that the blood pressure and heart rate were taken prior to medication administration per physician's order.

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 facility policy review, clinical record review, and observation, it was determined that the facility
failed to provide proper catheter care to prevent the risk of infection for two of four sampled residents who
utilized an indwelling urinary catheter (a flexible tube that drains urine from the bladder). (Resident 32, 54)
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Catheter: Indwelling Urinary last reviewed April 2023, revealed that a
urinary catheter system should be inspected to ensure connections are secure, the tubing should be kept
off the floor, and the emptying spigot of the Foley catheter bag system should not be in contact with
non-sterile surfaces.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 32 had diagnoses that included neuromuscular dysfunction of
the bladder and a history of a stroke with residual left-sided upper and lower extremity weakness. According
to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated August 24, 2023, the resident had an indwelling
urinary catheter in place. On December 6, 2023, from 12:35 p.m. until 1:03 p.m., Resident 32 was observed
in a wheelchair in front of the 300 unit nurse's station. The tubing of the urinary catheter was wrapped
around the front right wheel of the wheelchair, touching the floor. Resident 32 was moving the wheelchair
repeatedly rolling over the catheter tubing. The Director of Nursing, LPN2, and NA2, walked by and
engaged in conversation with Resident 32 and none of them attempted to adjust the catheter tubing. At
1:03 p.m., the resident was moved into the dayroom and the catheter tubing was still in contact with the
floor. On December 7, 2023, from 12:48 p.m. until 12:54 p.m., Resident 32 was observed sitting in front of
the 300 unit nurse's station with catheter tubing on the floor. LPN2 was present, but did not attempt to
secure the tubing.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 54 had diagnoses that included neuromuscular bladder
dysfunction and paraplegia. According to the MDS assessment, dated August 30, 2023, the resident had an
indwelling catheter in place. A physician's order dated July 13, 2023, directed staff to perform indwelling
catheter care every shift and as needed. On December 5, 2023, from 10:55 a.m. until 1:15 p.m., Resident
54 was observed lying in bed with the catheter tubing draining into a large urine collection bag hung on the
bedframe. The draining spigot of the collection bag, used to empty urine out of the bag, was unlatched from
the secure holder. From 10:15 a.m. until 12:49 p.m., the spigot was in direct contact with the bed. From
12:49 p.m. until 1:15 p.m., the bed was raised by Resident 54, the spigot remained unsecured and was
hanging from the Foley bag. The unlatched spigot was visible when looking at the resident from the hallway.
LPN2 walked by the resident's room and did not attempt to secure the spigot.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, facility policy review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
store food in a sanitary manner in the dietary department and on one of four nursing units. (Cherry Tree
Lane)
Findings include:
Observations during the kitchen tour on December 5, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., revealed that inside the Ice
Cream Freezer, there were multiple areas of dried food debris on the wall and on the bottom. There was a
leaf on the bottom of the freezer. There were two utensil drawers containing clean utensils. One drawer had
a food scoop with dried food debris in it. The other drawer had dried food debris in it. When that drawer was
open, there was long strand of hair sticking out from the inside track of the drawer, close to the clean
utensils. On the pot and pan rack, there was a long strand of hair where the clean items were stored.
Review of the facility's policy entitled, Safe Handling for Foods from Visitors, last reviewed April 24, 2023,
revealed when food was brought into the facility for the residents by visitors that staff should label foods
with the resident's name.
Observation of the Cherry Tree Lane unit pantry on December 6, 2023, at 11:45 a.m., revealed five bottles
of opened salad dressing and four containers of Gatorade, milk, soda, and juice that were not labeled with
a resident's name. The inside of the microwave was rusted and damaged.
In an interview on December 6, 2023, at 12:40 p.m., the Administrator confirmed the microwave and
refrigerator were used for the residents.
