Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that a resident's representative was notified about the need to alter
treatment/new physician's orders for one of nine residents reviewed (Resident 1).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding a Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated January 25, 2024,
indicated that unless otherwise instructed by the resident, a nurse would notify the resident's representative
when there was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status. A significant
change of condition was a major decline or improvement in the resident's status that would not normally
resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions.
An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 1, dated November 3, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired,
was incontinent of urine, and had diagnoses that included dementia.
A nursing note, dated November 29, 2024, at 11:50 a.m., revealed that the resident reported she had an
emesis upon arrival to the facility, and the resident's family stated they noticed that the resident's urine had
sediment in it and requested another urine test be done. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner
(CRNP- registered nurse with advanced training) was notified. A CRNP's order, dated November 29, 2024,
included an order for a bladder/renal (kidneys) ultrasound.
A nursing note, dated December 23, 2024, at 5:54 p.m., revealed that the resident's family was in and
asked if another urinalysis was sent on the resident. The nurse explained that the doctor wanted to get an
ultra sound on the resident since her urine was described as having sediment in it. The resident's family
stated that they were not notified; however, they would like to be notified of the ultra sound results.
There was no documented evidence that the resident's family was notified of the new order for a
bladder/renal ultrasound.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 10, 2024, at 4:37 p.m. confirmed that there was no
documented evidence that Resident 1's family was notified of the new order for an ultrasound.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on review of policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment for one of nine residents reviewed (Resident 6).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding cleaning and disinfecting, dated January 25, 2024, indicated that
housekeeping was to remove visible debris from surfaces and that proper cleaning was necessary to
reduce infection.
A quarterly Minimum data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 6, dated November 18, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact and
had diagnoses that included coronary artery disease, heart failure, and asthma.
Observations on December 10, 2024, at 11:02 a.m. revealed that the resident was lying in his bed with a
stand-up fan blowing directly on him. The fan was noted to have a very heavy amount of visible dirt and
debris accumulated on the blade cover. There were approximately four tendrils of dirt/debris flowing from
the fan cover as the fan was blowing toward the resident.
Interviews with Housekeeping Aide 2 and the Infection Preventionist on December 10, 2024, at 11:20 a.m.
revealed that the fan belonged to the facility. They confirmed that the fan was blowing toward the resident
with a large amount of dirt and debris accumulated on the blade cover, and that it should have been clean
and it was not.
Interview with the Housekeeping Manager on December 10, 2024, at 3:28 p.m. indicated that she would
expect the fan to have been cleaned with a damp rag when the room was cleaned. She confirmed that the
fan cover should have been clean and it was not.
Interview with Director of Nursing on December 10, 2024, at 3:39 p.m. confirmed that Resident 6's fan
cover should be clean, and it was not.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as resident and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that residents received the appropriate treatment and services to maintain or
improve their abilities to ambulate and perform activities of daily living for one of nine residents reviewed
(Resident 2).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A facility policy regarding supporting activities of daily living, dated January 25, 2024, indicated that
residents will be provided with care, treatment, and services as appropriate to maintain or improve their
ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Interventions to improve or minimize a resident's
functional abilities will be in accordance with the resident's assessed needs, preferences, stated goals, and
recognized standards of practice. The resident's response to interventions will be monitored, evaluated, and
revised as appropriate.
A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's
abilities and care needs) for Resident 2, dated October 11, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively
impaired, was clearly understood and able to clearly understand others, required substantial assist with
care needs, refused transfers chair to bed/chair, refused toileting transfers, refused sit to stand, was not
ambulatory, had significant weight loss, received oxygen, and had diagnoses that included pulmonary
fibrosis (a lung disease that causing scarring and stiffening of lung tissue, making it harder to breathe),
respiratory failure (blood does not have enough oxygen and causes difficulty breathing), asthma, and
rheumatoid arthritis (chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the joints and organs).
A physical therapy discharge summary for Resident 2, dated July 26, 2024, revealed that the resident
performed the bed mobility task and functional transfers with stand by assistance (no physical contact or
assistance) and was able to ambulate 60 feet with the use of a front-wheeled walker and stand-by
assistance. She was discharged from therapy to nursing care with no program in place to maintain
functional mobility.
Physical therapy documentation for Resident 2, dated August 24, 2024, through September 16, 2024,
revealed that the resident was referred to physical therapy due to an exacerbation of pain and a decrease
in functional mobility with a goal to regain transfers and ambulatory ability. A physical therapy Discharge
summary, dated [DATE], revealed that the resident performed the bed mobility task and functional transfers
with moderate assistance (therapy and the resident each put in half the effort) and was unable to ambulate.
She was discharged from therapy to nursing care with no program in place to maintain functional mobility.
An occupational therapy discharge summary for Resident 2, dated August 1, 2024, revealed that the
resident performed toileting task/transfers with contact guard assistance (hand-on assistance with no
physical assistance) and upper and lower body dressing with stand-by assistance. She was discharged
from therapy with recommendations for an ADL restorative nursing program. There was no documented
evidence that a restorative nursing program was developed and implemented.

resident performed the bed mobility task with maximum assistance (over half of the assistance is provided
by the therapist). She was discharged from therapy with recommendations for a restorative nursing program
to maintain current level of performance and to prevent decline. Development of and instruction in the
restorative nursing programs for transfers and range of motion were completed with the interdisciplinary
team; however, there was no documented evidence that a restorative nursing program was developed and
implemented.
Interview with Physical Therapist 1 on December 10, 2024, at 3:34 p.m. revealed that Resident 2 did well
when she was first admitted to the facility, and he thought she would be going home. He indicated that she
was performing ADLs and transfers with supervision and was walking 60 feet with supervision. He indicated
that after discharge from therapy, they would have released her to nursing to continue with care for
maintenance and would have made recommendations to nursing for programs. He revealed that the
resident received physical therapy again at the end of August 2024 due to Resident 2's decline and knee
pain. He indicated that she was not ambulating and required maximum assistance for transfers.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 10, 2024, at 4:53 p.m. revealed that the facility did not
have restorative nursing programs and did not have a program in place to prevent decline and maintain
Resident 2's ability to perform ADLs and ambulation.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the facility's investigation documents and residents' clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to ensure that safe transfer techniques were used in accordance with
their care plans for one of nine residents reviewed (Resident 5) resulting in a fall. This deficiency was cited
as past non-compliance.
Findings include:
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 5, dated September 26, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact
and had a diagnosis of a fracture, anxiety, and depression.
A [NAME] report (a nursing worksheet that includes a summary of patient information, such as
devices/interventions, activities of daily living, behaviors/mood, mobility, bathing, bladder/bowel, positioning
and toileting) for Resident 5, dated October 14, 2024, revealed the following safety measures for staff to
follow: transfer with a stand-up lift (mechanical lift used to transfer resident in a standing potion with partial
weight bearing) with a medium sling (yellow) and the assistance of two staff members.
A nursing note for Resident 5, dated October 16, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. revealed that the nurse aide reported
that the resident told her she had been lowered to the floor on Monday evening. The resident reported that
while being transferred from the chair to the bed on October 14, 2024, she lost her balance and was
lowered to the floor by the nurse aide onto her left knee. The resident reported that she did not sustain any
injuries.
The facility's investigation, dated October 16, 2024, revealed that Nurse Aide 3 reported that he transferred
the resident back to bed and she began to fall, but he was able to maintain the resident's balance and
denied that she was on the floor. He reported that he was under the impression that Resident 5 was not
safe in the sit-to-stand lift related to a comment previously made by a licensed practical nurse (LPN) charge
nurse. He reported that he did not check the resident's care plan.
A statement completed by Nurse Aide 3, undated, revealed that on Monday, October 14, 2024, he assisted
Resident 5 from her wheelchair to her bed without the sit-to-stand lift because on a previous occasion the
LPN said the sit-to-stand lift was too dangerous, as the resident slips from it.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 10, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. confirmed that Nurse Aide 3 did
not follow Resident 5's care plan to transfer the resident using a stand-up lift with the assistance of two staff
members.
Following the investigation on October 16, 2024, the facility's corrective actions included:
Nurse Aide 3 was educated on following the plan of care.
Staff education on reporting falls, change in plan, and following the care plan was completed.
The DON or designee would audit resident progress notes weekly for two months to ensure that falls

Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
weekly weights were obtained as recommended by the dietician for one of nine residents reviewed
(Resident 2) who had a weight loss.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's
abilities and care needs) for Resident 2, dated October 11, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively
impaired, was clearly understood and able to clearly understand others, required substantial assist with
care needs, had significant weight loss, and had diagnosis that included protein calorie malnutrition.
A care plan for Resident 4, dated July 5, 2024, indicated that the resident had a risk for altered nutrition due
to her history of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), weight loss, and need for a textured diet. A care plan
intervention, dated July 5, 2024, indicated to periodically obtain the resident's weight, evaluate, and report
to the registered dietician, physician, and family of significant weight changes.
A dietician note for Resident 2, dated September 9, 2024, revealed that the resident had a significant
weight loss in the last 30 days and indicated that the registered dietician would continue to monitor the
resident's weight trends for further nutrition interventions as warranted. A dietician note for Resident 2,
dated September 30, 2024, revealed that the resident had a continued weight loss trend and the registered
dietician would continue to monitor weight trends.
A dietician note for Resident 2, dated October 15, 2024, revealed that the resident's weight had significantly
declined over the last one to two months. A mini nutritional assessment (MNA) indicated a malnourished
status related to variable meal intakes requiring oral nutrition supplements, recent weight loss, and low
body weight. The registered dietician recommended obtaining weekly weights for two weeks to closely
monitor weight trends with increased supplementation and would continue to monitor for further nutritional
intervention as warranted.
Review of clinical records for Resident 2 for October and November 2024 revealed no documented
evidence that weekly weights were obtained as recommended, and there was no documented evidence
that the dietician had monitored for continued weight loss and further nutritional intervention.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 10, 2024, at 4:53 p.m. indicated that the dietician did
not put physician's orders in to obtain weekly weights as recommended and confirmed that the weights
were not obtained and monitored as recommended.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on review of facility policy, written menus, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to follow their planned menu.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's policy for menus, dated January 25, 2024, revealed that menus are served as written unless
changed in response to preference, unavailability of an item, or a special meal. In addition, deviations from
the posted menus are recorded, including the reason for the substitution or deviation.
The written lunch menu for the day of December 10, 2024, revealed that there was to be chunky
cheeseburger casserole, glazed sweet carrots, garlic bread, and lemon brownies.
Observations on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 12:35 p.m. of Resident 4's lunch tray revealed that the
lunch meal consisted of chunky cheeseburger casserole, glazed sweet carrots, a half of a hot dog bun
broken in half with butter, and a chocolate brownie. There was no garlic bread or lemon brownie.
Interview with Resident 4 on December 10, 2024, at that time revealed that the bread served was not garlic
bread and that she never heard of a lemon brownie. She stated that the menu does not usually match what
is served. She continued by showing the surveyor her December menu, of which she had scratched out in
pencil what was on the menu and replaced it with what she had actually received on her tray.
Interview with the Dietary Manager on December 10, 2024, at 13:15 p.m. confirmed that the residents were
not notified that the lunch meal on December 10, 2024, had changed and that the residents would not be

the kitchen at 12:49 p.m., arrived on the second floor at 12:50 p.m., and the last resident tray was delivered
and the test tray was tested at 1:02 p.m. The test tray consisted of chunky cheeseburger casserole, glazed
sweet carrots, bread, brownies, milk, pink lemonade, and coffee. The food was then tasted and the following
temperatures were obtained by the Dietary Manager and visualized by the surveyor. The cheeseburger
casserole was 129.7 degrees Fahrenheit (F), glazed sweet carrots were 116.1 degrees F, coffee was 140
degrees F, milk was 49.1 degrees F, and the pink lemonade was 60 degrees F. The food was cool and
tasted fair. Interview with the Dietary Manager at that time revealed that she would expect the food to taste
good, that hot foods such as the casserole and carrots would be at least 135 degrees F or higher, and the
cold foods would be at 41 degrees F or lower. She indicated that at this time they do not have hot plates to
keep the food warm. The future plan is to have the meals served from steamers in the dining areas on the
units and she was confident that would provide hot food for the residents.
Interview with the Dietary Manager on December 10, 2024, at 1:15 p.m. confirmed that the food should
have been served at safe and appropriate temperatures that complied with safe food handling practices.

service safety by failing to ensure that dietary staff wore appropriate hair coverings.
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding hair restraints, dated January 25, 2024, revealed that all kitchen employees
prepping or preparing food must wear hair restraints that are designed to effectively keep hair properly
restrained.
Observations in the kitchen on December 10, 2024, at 11:35 a.m. revealed that the Dietary Manager was
stirring, temping, and plating food for residents. It was noted that the she had two to three inches of hair at
the back of her head at her hairline and approximately one inch of hair on the side of her face that was not
covered.
Observations in the main kitchen on December 10, 2024, at 11:50 a.m. revealed that Dietary Worker 4 was
placing desserts and lids onto the residents' meal trays, which already contained prepared plates of food.
Dietary Worker 4 had a beard and sideburns, and the sideburns were not completely covered.
Interview with the Dietary Manager on December 10, 2024, at 3:35 p.m. confirmed that she and Dietary
Worker 4 should have had their hair completely covered when plating/preparing food for the residents, and
they did not.
