Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide care in a manner and environment that promotes each resident's quality of life by failing to respond
timely to residents' requests for assistance, including experiences reported by two alert and oriented
residents out of four interviewed during a group meeting (Residents 45 and 71) and three out of the 25
residents sampled (Residents 6, 49 and 308).
Findings include:
A clinical record review revealed that Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. An annual
comprehensive Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment
process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated November 21, 2023, revealed that Resident 49
is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool within the Cognitive
Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and
recall new information; a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact). According to the assessment the
resident requires staff assistance with activities of daily living, including transfers.
During an interview on December 19, 2023, at 10:50 AM, Resident 49 stated that she usually waits over 20
minutes for staff to answer her call bells when requesting assistance. She explained that the wait time for
staff to respond to her needs for assistance is over 30 minutes when the facility is low on staff. Resident 49
stated that she attempts to transfer herself to the bathroom when staff do not respond timely to her calls for
assistance.
Resident 49's current plan of care for activities of daily life deficits revealed interventions initiated on
December 3, 2023, which indicated that for ambulation and when using the toilet, the resident requires the
assistance of one staff member and the use of a rollator walker (a mobility device that provides support to
maintain stability and balance).
A clinical record review revealed that Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A review of a
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 6 is cognitively intact with a BIMS score
of 14.
During an interview on December 19, 2023, at approximately 10:50 AM Resident 6 stated that she requires
total care from staff and it is her experience that the facility has not had enough staff for a while now, and
that she often waits up to an hour for staff assistance to meet her needs after ringing her call bell.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to provide necessary staff assistance with activities of daily living to maintain good personal grooming for
residents dependent on staff assistance with these activities, including experiences reported by four alert
and oriented residents out of four residents interviewed during a group meeting (Residents 10, 45, 71, and
82) and for one of 25 residents sampled (Resident 6).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
During a resident group interview on December 20, 2023, at 10:30 AM, four residents out of the four
residents interviewed stated that the facility does not consistently provide showers as scheduled or
according to their individual plan of care. During the resident group interview, Residents 10, 45, 71, and 82
stated that their showers are frequently cancelled.
Resident 45 stated that she is not receiving showers regularly because often there are not enough nursing
staff to shower her on her scheduled shower day, and her shower is rescheduled for another day during the
week.
Resident 71 stated that he is not showered as scheduled. He explained that his scheduled shower gets
canceled quite a bit, and it bothers him because he is unable to wash himself. Resident 71 stated that he
has expressed this problem to staff, but nothing has changed and the problem is not fixed.
Resident 10 stated that staff do not provide showers as scheduled because staff are often unable to give
her a shower. She stated that last week staff informed her that she would have to take a cold shower
because of an issue with the water temperatures. Resident 10 indicated that she wanted to take a shower
but refused when staff told her that the water temperature was too cold.
During an interview on December 22, 2023, at approximately 12:00 PM, the Director of Maintenance
indicated that the facility has not had any reported issues regarding cold water temperatures. He explained
that he checks the temperatures daily to ensure they are within acceptable parameters for resident safety.
During an observation of the second-floor resident shower room, at the same time as the interview, the
shower water temperature was observed to be 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit and felt comfortable.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 6 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
had diagnoses which included morbid obesity, dysarthria, muscle weakness and osteoarthritis of knee.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment
conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) of Resident 6 dated November 1, 2023, indicated that
the resident was totally dependent on staff for bathing/showers. The resident was cognitively intact with a
BIMS score of 14 (brief interview for mental status, a tool to assess the residents' attention, orientation and
ability to register and recall new information, a score of 13-15 indicates the resident is cognitive intact). The
resident had functional limitation in range of motion of her lower extremities and required staff assistance
for activities of daily living which included bathing and personal hygiene.

A review of Resident 6's shower record revealed that the resident was to be showered on Wednesdays and
Sundays on the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift.
During interview with Resident 6 on December 19, 2023, at approximately 10:49 AM the resident stated
that staff have not showered her in over two months because the Hoyer lift (mechanical lift) was broken for
her transport. She stated that staff have provided a bed bath, which consisted of cleaning under her breasts
and armpits, but no peri care (cleaning private areas) was provided. Further interview with Resident 6 on
December 20, 2023, at approximately 12:05 PM revealed that the resident did not receive her shower that
morning because the facility did not have the correct Hoyer lift belt to transfer her. She stated that staff told
her that the belt they had could not get wet in the shower. She stated that she used to hide one of the belts
in her room because they go missing all the time and she needs a specific one (solid black), but someone
took it out of her room.
A review of Resident 6's shower schedule for the month of November 2023 revealed no evidence that the

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
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 clinical records and select facility policies, and staff interviews, it was revealed that the facility
failed to follow physician orders for bowel protocol to promote normal bowel activity and treat constipation
for one resident out of 25 sampled residents (Resident 52).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of clinical records revealed Resident 52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses,
which included dementia, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
A review of Resident 52's current physician orders revealed orders for administration of Milk of Magnesia
(MOM) Suspension give 30 mL orally as needed for constipation if no bowel movement (BM) in 3 days,
Dulcolax suppository as needed for constipation for now BM within 24 hours after administration of MOM,
and sodium phosphates enema as needed for constipation if MOM ineffective.
A review of Resident 52's Documentation Survey Report dated December 2023, revealed that the resident
had an extra-large BM on December 4, 2023, on the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. There was no evidence that the
resident had a BM from December 5, 2023, through December 11, 2023, a total of 7 days.
A review of Resident 52's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated December 2023 revealed that
there was no evidence that the resident had been offered and/or received the ordered medications for
constipation. According to the physician orders and lack of bowel activity, the resident should have received
MOM on December 8, 2023.
A review of nursing documentation dated December 11, 2023, at 8:09 AM revealed that the resident had
not had a bowel movement for seven days. The resident's bowel sounds were present in all four quadrants,
but were hypoactive (sluggish, a sign that intestinal activity has slowed), the resident did not have
abdominal pain or discomfort, and the resident's abdomen was not distended. The physician ordered a
KUB (X-ray of Kidney, ureter, and Bladder typically performed to investigate for bowel obstruction and often
used to diagnose constipation).
Review of the results of the KUB dated December 11, 2023, indicated that the resident had mild to modest
constipation.
Documentation dated December 12, 2023, at 12:32 PM revealed that the physician ordered to begin bowel
protocol as ordered.
Additional review of the resident's MAR dated December 2023, failed to provide evidence that the physician
ordered bowel protocol was administered as ordered to treat the resident's constipation.
Review of the Documentation Survey Report dated December 2023, revealed that Resident 52 did have an
extra-large BM on December 12, 2023, on the 7 AM - 3 PM shift, but had not received the physician
ordered medication for treatment constipation.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on December 21, 2023, at 10:30 AM confirmed that there was no
documented evidence in the clinical record that the physician ordered bowel protocol was followed.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the presence of
physician documentation of the clinical rationale for the continued administration of duplicate
antidepressant drug therapy for one resident out of five sampled residents (Resident 27).
Findings include:
A review of Resident 27's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's dementia with behavioral disturbance, major depressive disorder,
and anxiety disorder.

resident consistently received both antidepressant medications daily.
At the time of the survey ending December 22, 2023, Resident 27's clinical record failed to reveal that the
attending physician documented resident-specific clinical justification for the resident's need for duplicate
antidepressant drug therapy for treatment of major depressive disorder
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on December 22, 2023, at 9:15 AM, confirmed that Resident
27's attending physician failed to provide documented clinical rationale for the use of both antidepressants.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain acceptable
practices for the storage and service of food to prevent the potential for contamination and microbial growth
in food, which increased the risk of food-borne illness in the food and nutrition services department and one
of two resident pantries.
Findings include:
Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact
with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food
handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell,
or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of
Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible
for developing and executing federal laws related to food).
The initial tour of the kitchen was conducted on December 19, 2023, at 9:28 AM, in the presence of the
Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), revealed unsanitary practices with the potential to introduce
contaminants into food and increase the potential for food-borne illness and the following concerns were
identified:
In the first-floor corridor, near the food receiving area, observation revealed multiple cases of dry
food/ingredients/supplies directly on the floor.
Observations during a tour of the third-floor resident pantry area on December 19, 2023, at 10:03 AM,
revealed on three pitchers of juices on a push cart that were warm to touch.
Observation of the third-floor resident pantry revealed that the lid on the ice machine was broken. When
opened, the lid closure slid out of place and did not close properly. A screw was observed positioned to
stop the lid from sliding off the ice machine.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on December 21, 2023, at 1:15 PM,
confirmed that she noticed that the third-floor resident pantry ice machine lid was broken, and that
maintenance should have corrected the issue and that facility's food should not have remained directly on
the floor.
