Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policies, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
develop comprehensive care plans to meet resident care needs for four of 16 Residents (Resident R9, R35,
R148 and R246).
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Comprehensive Care Plan Completion dated 8/31/22, indicated the facility will
develop a comprehensive plan of care for each resident, and that each triggered Care Assessment Area
(CAA) must be assessed to facilitate care plan decision making.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of care needs) dated 6/5/23, included
diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder (a mental disorder in which a person experiences a combination of
schizophrenia and mood disorder symptoms), bipolar disorder (a mental condition marked by alternating
periods of elation and depression), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, mental health condition
triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event.
Review of Resident R9's care plan, updated 2/21/23, did not identify Resident R9's PTSD diagnosis,
symptoms or triggers related to this diagnosis and resident specific interventions to meet the resident's
needs for minimizing triggers and/or re-traumatization.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of pneumonia (severe inflammation of the lungs
from an infection), bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the tubes that carry air to and from the lungs),
and respiratory failure (a serious condition where the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood).
Observation and interview of Resident R35 on 6/14/23, revealed the resident was receiving oxygen at three
liters per minute via a nasal cannula (an oxygen delivery device consisting of a lightweight tube which on
one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils).
Review of Resident R35's care plan last reviewed 5/30/23, failed to include a plan of care related to the use
of oxygen therapy.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policies, observations and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to
properly label and date food products, and verify the sanitizing temperature of the dish machine in the Main
Kitchen (Main Kitchen), and properly monitor refrigerator temperatures, and properly store food products in
one of three nursing unit pantries ([NAME]) and failed to properly date food and monitor food for expiration
dates in three of three nursing unit pantries ([NAME], Wellstep, and Creekside), which created the potential
for food borne illness.
Findings Include:
Review of the facility policy Food Storage: Sanitation and Infection Control last reviewed 3/23/23, indicated
that all products are labeled and dated with the receiving date.
Review of the facility policy Dishwashing and Pot Washing Procedures: Sanitation and Infection Control last
reviewed 3/23/23, indicated that setting the right temperature for the commercial dishwasher is critical to
ensure property sanitized cookware, dishes, and utensils to prevent foodborne illness. Dishwasher
temperatures are maintained per manufacturer's guidelines and in accordance with nationally recognized
standards of practice. Dish machine temperatures are checked and recorded before use for each meal
cleanup period.
Review of the facility policy Food Brought into Resident's Room from Outside Sources last reviewed
3/23/23, indicated that foods or beverages brought in from outside will be labeled with the resident ' s name
and room number. Nursing will date the food with the date the item(s) was brought to the community for
storage. Food or beverage in the original container that is past the manufacturer's expiration date will be
discarded by nursing staff. Nursing staff will monitor resident's room, household pantry, and refrigeration
units for food and beverage disposal. All refrigeration units will have internal thermometers to monitor
temperatures. All units must be maintained at internal temperatures that are deemed safe for food storage.
During an observation in the Main Kitchen walk-in refrigerator, on 6/12/23, at 9:55 a.m., a plastic wrapped
package of meat was observed with no label or date.

through the dish machine to verify the operating condition of the dish machine.
During an interview on 6/13/23, at 1:32 p.m., the Food Service Director Employee E2 confirmed that the
facility failed to make certain the final rinse temperature of the dish machine was operating properly to
sanitize the equipment.
