Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide dignity with
dining for one of two main dining rooms (Assisted Dining Room, Residents 21 and 22), and for one of one
resident reviewed for dignity in toileting (Resident 41)
Findings include:
Observation of the dining area on October 3, 2023, from 11:55 AM to 12:20 PM revealed that the staff
failed to provide resident dignity based on the following:
Observation of Employee 1, registered nurse, revealed that she attempted to feed Resident 21 with a spoon
while standing up on the resident's left side. The surveyor briefly left the dining room where residents were
being fed or assisted with feeding to observe the adjacent dining room where residents feed themselves.
On return to the assisted dining room, Employee 1, was standing up attempting to feed Resident 22 with a
spoon on the left side of the resident. Employee 1 voiced that is all she could get the resident to take. It is
undignified for staff to stand over a resident to feed them.
The surveyor reviewed the findings for Residents 21 and 22 with the Nursing Home Administrator and
Director of Nursing during a meeting on October 4, 2023, at 1:15 PM.
Observation on October 4, 2023, at 2:33 PM revealed that the door to Resident 41's room was open.
Resident 41 resided in the semi-private room next to the window. The surveyor entered Resident 41's room
after receiving permission from the responsible party. The bathroom door was open, and Resident 41 was
sitting on the toilet with the lower part of her body undressed. Employee 2, nurse aide, was bending over
and was removing the resident's incontinent brief, which was down to her feet at the time. Resident 41 was
visible to the surveyor, responsible party, and roommate.
During an interview with Employee 2 on October 4, 2023, at 2:40 PM she confirmed that she should have
closed the door to Resident 41's room to provide her privacy and dignity.
The surveyor reviewed the findings for Resident 41 during a meeting with the Director of Nursing on
October 5, 2023, at 9:00 AM.

Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide bathing assistance for a resident dependent on staff assistance for one of one resident sampled for
activities of daily living (Resident 74).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident 74 was unable to be interviewed due to his current cognitive status.
A clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 74 on August 2, 2023. A review of Resident
74's admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care
needs) dated August 8, 2023, indicated nursing staff assessed Resident 74 as requiring extensive physical
help from one staff for bathing.
A review of Resident 74's task documentation (ADL, activities of daily living charting) revealed he has not
received a shower since August 5, 2023. Nursing staff documented Resident 74 refused showers since
August 5, 2023. Further review revealed that 74's bathing preference was identified as preferring a shower
once a week.
A review of Resident 74's plan of care revealed no documentation that the facility addressed or
implemented individualized interventions for Resident 74's refusal to shower.
The facility failed to provide activities of daily living as scheduled and per their preference for Resident 74.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement
interventions to promote acceptable parameters of nutrition for one of five residents reviewed (Resident
65).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 65 on November 10, 2022.
Further review of Resident 65's clinical record revealed the following weight assessments:
August 26, 2023, 147 pounds
September 12, 2023, 141 pounds
September 15, 2023, 137 pounds
October 2, 2023, 135 pounds (a 12-pound, 8.16 percent significant weight loss)
A review of a nutrition progress note dated September 18, 2023, confirmed significant weight loss, and the
dietician's intervention included a re-weight to confirm Resident 65's significant loss, and to notify Resident
65's physician.
There was no evidence that staff obtained a re-weight or notified Resident 65's physician.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on October 6, 2023, at 9:44 AM confirmed she was unable to provide
any documentation that the facility obtained a re-weight or notified Resident 65's physician of his significant
weight loss.
