Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
assessments accurately reflected a resident's discharge status for one of three residents reviewed
(Resident 105).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 105 revealed a discharge MDS (minimum data set, an assessment
completed at periodic intervals of time to assess resident care needs) dated February 3, 2025, where
facility staff assessed the resident's discharge status as being discharged to a hospital on that date.
Further record review for Resident 105 revealed a Discharge summary dated [DATE], at 12:07 PM, and that
the resident was discharged to home, not a hospital.
The above information regarding Resident 105 was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and
Director of Nursing on April 10, 2025, at 2:30 PM.
On April 11, 2025, at 11:58 AM facility staff provided evidence of a corrected MDS for Resident 105,
indicating the residents discharge status was to reflect the resident was discharged to home and the prior
MDS indicating the resident discharged to the hospital was coded in error.

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
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the highest
practicable care regarding a resident assessment for pressure ulcer concerns for one of 23 residents
reviewed (Resident 150).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 150 revealed that they were admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a
sacral (triangular area at the bottom of the spine) ulcer. Facility staff completed an initial assessment of
Resident 150's sacral ulcer with measurements noted as 10 cm (centimeters) long by 8 cm wide by no
depth, with red, watery drainage. Staff ordered appropriate treatment.
On April 6, 2025, at 3:55 PM staff documented that at 9:30 AM they went to change Resident 150's sacral
dressing, however, there was no dressing on the wound. Staff cleansed and applied a new dressing, noting
that they observed yellow slough (dead skin) on the wound bed (base of wound) with a slight odor.
On April 6, 2025, at 5:40 PM staff documented that they changed Resident 150's sacral dressing at 3:40
PM and noted a change/concern in the wound drainage (now with a tan/gray drainage) and an increase in
depth near the top of the wound. Staff measured Resident 150's wound as 7.2 cm (centimeters) long by 5
cm wide by 1.5 cm deep in the center of the wound. At the top of the wound, staff measured a depth of 2.2
cm. Staff notified Employee 1, registered nurse, assistant director of nursing/infection preventionist, of the
concern.
On April 10, 2025, at 10:33 AM and 10:43 AM (3.75 days later) Employee 1 documented that they
assessed Resident 150's sacral ulcer and observed the above noted slough. The slough was able to be
moved with bone now visualized at the base of the wound. Employee 1 measured the wound as 7.2 cm
long by 5 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep with no undermining or tunneling (wound channeling under tissue) with
a mixture of purulent (pus like) and serous (clear) drainage. Employee 1 determined the need to
change/update the resident's sacral ulcer dressing order based on their assessment.
Employee 1 did not assess Resident 150's sacral wound timely to identify potential wound and dressing
changes.
The above information was reviewed during an interview on April 15, 2025, at 10:40 AM with the Nursing
Home Administrator.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care and services for one of two residents reviewed
(Resident 28).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
According to the American Association for Respiratory Care proper cleansing of respiratory (nebulizer)
equipment reduces infection risk. The longer a dirty nebulizer sits and is allowed to dry, the harder it is to
clean thoroughly. Parts of the aerosol drug delivery device should be rinsed and then washed with soap
and hot water after each treatment. Once completely dry, store the nebulizer cup and mouthpiece in a zip
lock bag.
Clinical record review for Resident 28 revealed the following current physician orders:
Oxygen at 2 liters per minute (LPM) via NC (nasal canula, tubing to deliver oxygen to the nose) to keep
SpO2 (oxygen saturations) greater than 91 percent as needed
Further clinical review for Resident 28 revealed that they last utilized oxygen on March 28, 2025, at 6:02
AM.
Observation of Resident 28's room on April 8, 2025, at 11:03 AM, and April 9, 2025, at 10:27 AM revealed
that there was an oxygen concentrator beside his bed. Attached to the concentrator there was an undated
humidification cannister that had an unbagged, undated nasal cannula tubing attached. The tubing was
draped over the concentrator and onto the floor.
Concurrent interview with Resident 28 on April 8, 2025, at 11:03 AM revealed that he had not utilized
oxygen recently.
The above information was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator during an interview on April 10,
2025, at 2:10 PM.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on a review of facility documentation, clinical record review, employee personnel record information,
and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that nursing staff possessed the
specific competencies and skill sets related to medication administration, the care and assessment of
residents with indwelling urinary catheters, and gastrostomy tubes for one of five employees reviewed for
competencies (Employee 2; Residents 101 and 57).
Findings include:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) QSO-24-13-NH memo dated June 18, 2024,
noted that requirements specify that the facility assessment must include an evaluation of diseases,
conditions, physical or cognitive limitations of the resident population, acuity (the level of severity of
residents' illnesses, physical, mental, and cognitive limitations, and conditions) and any other pertinent
information about the resident population as a whole that may affect the services the facility must provide.
The assessment of the resident population should drive staffing decisions and inform the facility about what
skills and competencies staff must possess to deliver the necessary care required by the residents being
served.
The facility assessment reviewed during the onsite survey last updated March 31, 2025, revealed that RN
(registered nurse) competency and training would include catheter insertion and flushing (Foley, indwelling
urinary catheters, flexible tubing inserted into the bladder to drain urine) and medication administration. The
assessment stipulated that the lists were not all inclusive. Although the list of competencies and trainings
did not refer to RN care and services for artificial feeding systems, the LPN (licensed practical nurse)
competency and training list included enteral feeding (PEG, a flexible tube inserted through the abdominal
wall and into the stomach for the purpose of administering nutrition, fluids, and medications) and use of
pumps or feeding by gravity.
A review of the facility Resident Matrix (CMS-802, form used to identify pertinent care categories for
residents who reside in the facility) documentation revealed that the facility had a total of nine residents with
indwelling urinary catheters within the 107 resident facility census (8.4 percent).
Clinical record review for Resident 101 revealed active physician orders for staff to irrigate a urinary
catheter every eight hours as needed for blockages and to change a 16 French (The French scale, also
known as the French gauge, is a widely used measurement system for the size of catheters) urinary
catheter every 28 days and as needed for occlusion or leakage as needed.
Clinical record review for Resident 57 revealed active physician orders to change an indwelling urinary
catheter, size 16 or 18 French coude (A coude catheter is a type of urinary catheter that features a curved
tip, designed to navigate around obstacles in the urethra, such as an enlarged prostate or strictures),
monthly and as needed for occlusion or leakage, and to irrigate the foley catheter with 60 milliliters (ml) of
normal saline daily and as needed. Resident 57's active physician orders also instructed staff to flush his
PEG tube two times a day with 240 ml of water and to assess his feeding tube placement every shift and
with every use. Staff were also to flush the PEG tube as needed with 30 ml of water before and after
medication administration with 10 ml between each medication as needed if Resident 57 was unable to
take his meds orally.

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
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 develop and
implement individualized person-centered care plans to address dementia and cognitive loss displayed by
one of three residents reviewed (Resident 27).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 27 revealed the facility admitted her on January 8, 2024, with diagnoses
including dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that interfere
with daily life).
A review of Resident 27's most recent annual Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, a form completed at
specific intervals to determine care needs) dated December 9, 2024, indicated that the facility assessed
Resident 91 as having a diagnosis of dementia. The facility determined that a care plan for dementia and
cognitive loss would be developed.
A review of Resident 27's care plan revealed that there was no indication that the facility had developed and
implemented a person-centered care plan to address the resident's dementia and cognitive loss.
The findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing during a meeting
on April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM. On April 11, 2025, at 10:23 AM the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed
the facility had no further documentation that the facility developed and implemented an individualized
person-centered care plan to address Resident 27's dementia prior to surveyor's questioning.

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.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a
resident's medication regime was free from potentially unnecessary medication for one of five residents
reviewed for medication regime concerns (Resident 101).
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 101 revealed that the facility admitted her on March 14, 2025. An active
physician order dated March 14, 2025, instructed staff to administer Lunesta (Eszopiclone, a sedative
hypnotic medication used to induce and maintain sleep) 2 mg (milligram) by mouth at bedtime.
An admission MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine
resident care needs) dated March 19, 2025, identified that staff administered a hypnotic medication to
Resident 101, and the facility would proceed to a care plan for the psychotropic medication use.
Review of care plans developed for Resident 101 did not include the use of a sedative hypnotic for sleep,
did not include non-pharmacological interventions used, and did not identify target behaviors that the facility
would monitor to support the rationale for the continued use of the medication.
Interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Employee 1 (assistant director of
nursing/infection preventionist) on April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM and with the Director of Nursing on April 11,
2025, at 9:30 AM confirmed that there was no plan of care or target behaviors identified or monitored for
Resident 101's use of the sedative hypnotic.

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 store food and maintain
food service equipment in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in the facility's
main kitchen, and two of five nursing units (200 and 300).
Findings include:
An observation in the facility's main kitchen and the downstairs pantry and cold storage areas on April 8,
2025, at 10:09 AM with Employee 3, Assistant Director of Nutritional Services, revealed the following:
The fryer had a moderate amount of black grease build up in the grease trap.
Clean pans were stored on top of the oven where there was a considerable amount of dust buildup.
The food warmer was observed with dried brown spills/splatters on the interior base of the warmer and on
three sheet trays that were holding pans of food inside the warmer.
A windowsill in the dishwashing area was caked with white debris. The entire window was coated in a white
substance.
A box of hamburger patties was observed on a shelf in the walk-in freezer. The box was open, and a bag of
hamburger patties was open to air inside the box. A box of chicken breasts was also observed open beside
the box of hamburger patties, with a wide open bag of chicken sitting in the box exposed to air.
Food debris was observed under the shelving units in the walk-in freezer.
A piece of the metal wall covering on the interior back corner of the walk-in cooler was hanging off the wall.
A stack of clean dish washing racks was observed next to a shelving unit holding clean dishware. The racks
contained pieces of dried food/debris built up in corners/indentations of the racks in several spots.
An ice scoop was observed sitting directly on top of the ice machine uncovered. The flooring under the ice
machine contained dust and debris.
The downstairs dry storage was observed to have several brown stained ceiling tiles and dried liquid inside
a ceiling light cover.
The above findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April
10, 2025, at 2:25 PM.
An observation of the 200-unit nourishment room refrigerator on April 9, 2025, at 10:05 AM revealed a shelf
full of individual containers of juices in a variety of flavors such as apple, grape, and cranberry stored in the
refrigerator.

There was no evidence to indicate when the juices were placed there, when they needed to be used by, or
a manufacturer's expiration date on the containers.
A concurrent observation of the 300-unit nourishment area refrigerator also revealed a shelf full of the
same kind of juices stocked in the refrigerator.
Residents Affected - Many
An interview with Employee 3 on April 9, 2025, at 10:05 AM revealed the juices are delivered to the facility
frozen, and dietary staff pull the boxes from the freezer to thaw. Employee 3 indicated the staff date the box
of juice when they pull it from the freezer, but once the containers are taken out of the box, such as for
storing in the refrigerators on the nursing units, they would not be dated.
Observation of a case/box of the individual juices with Employee 3 on April 9, 2025, at 12:05 PM revealed
manufacturer instructions on the box indicating the product was to be used within 14 days once thawed.
There was no evidence to indicate when the juices stored on the nursing units referenced above were
pulled from the freezer, thawed, or when the 14-day expiration would occur.
The above information regarding the juices was reviewed during an interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 11, 2025, at 2:35 PM.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of select facility policies and procedures, observation, clinical record review, and staff
interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement appropriate enhanced barrier precautions
for one of 22 residents reviewed (Resident 101), implement appropriate transmission based precautions
(TBP) for one of one resident reviewed on TBP (Resident 96), and ensure an environment free from the
potential spread of infection with the storage of resident supplies on one of five nursing units (200;
Residents 62 and 77).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The facility policy entitled Isolation, Transmission Based Precautions, last reviewed without changes on May
22, 2024, revealed standard precautions will be used when caring for residents. Transmission based
precautions will be used when caring for residents who are documented or suspected to have
communicable diseases or infections that can be transmitted to others. If a resident is suspected of, or
identified as having a communicable infectious disease, the registered nurse supervisor will notify the
infection control designee and the resident's physician for appropriate transmission-based precautions.
Transmission based precautions will remain in effect until the physician or infection control designee
discontinues them. Contact precautions will be used in addition to Standard Precautions for residents with
specific infections that can be transmitted by direct and indirect contact.
Clinical record review for Resident 96 revealed the facility admitted him on October 21, 2024. Review of
Resident 96's physician orders revealed an order dated April 7, 2025, for contact isolation due to a shingles
rash on his face and neck.
Nursing documentation dated April 8, 2025, at 5:15 AM revealed Resident 96 began on the medication
Valtrex (an antiviral medication) related to his diagnosis of shingles. Documentation revealed a pustule rash
continues on Resident 96's face, and down the right side of his neck with pustules remaining intact. Contact
precautions remain in place. When the rash is still blistered and contains fluid in the blisters, the person is
considered contagious if the rash comes in close contact to someone else, so it is best to keep the rash
covered.
Observation of Resident 96 on April 8, 2025, at 10:12 AM revealed he was in the dining/activity room
seated at a table with 11 other residents making Easter eggs. The shingles rash was observed on his face
and neck. The shingles rash on Resident 96's neck was exposed with pustules. Resident 96's rash was not
covered.
Observation of Resident 96 on April 9, 2025, at 10:25 AM revealed he was walking on the unit holding
hands with another resident (Resident 96's wife). The shingles rash on Resident 96's neck was again
exposed with pustules. Resident 96's rash was not covered. Observation of Resident 96 on April 9, 2025, at
12:29 PM he was in the dining room eating lunch, with two other residents seated at his table.
Resident 96 was unable to be interviewed regarding any education he received regarding his rash and
contact precautions due to his current cognitive status.
Interview with Employee 1, infection control nurse, on April 10, 2025, at 2 PM confirmed these findings. She
stated that staff should have covered Resident 96's rash on his neck with the exposed pustules.

An observation of Resident 62's bathroom on April 8, 2025, revealed a bag of bladder pads stored directly
on the floor beside the toilet.
An observation of Resident 77's bathroom on April 8, 2025, revealed a plastic bag of maxi pads stored
directly on the floor beside the resident's toilet.
Residents Affected - Some
The above information regarding Residents 62 and 77 was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator
and Director of Nursing on April 10. 2025, at 2:30 PM.
Review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) memo entitled, Enhanced Barrier
Precautions in Nursing Homes, dated March 20, 2024, revealed that CMS was issuing new guidance for
State Survey Agencies and long-term care (LTC) facilities on the use of enhanced barrier precautions
(EBP) to align with nationally accepted standards. In 2019, CDC (Centers for Disease Control) introduced a
new approach to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) called Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBP). In July 2022, the CDC released updated EBP recommendations for Implementation of PPE Use in
nursing homes to prevent spread of MDROs. The CDC's, Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) Use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs), stipulated
that, When implementing Contact Precautions or Enhanced Barrier Precautions, it is critical to ensure that
staff have awareness of the facility's expectations about hand hygiene and gown/glove use, initial and
refresher training, and access to appropriate supplies. To accomplish this post clear signage on the door or
wall outside of the resident room indicating the type of precautions and required PPE (e.g., gown and
gloves). For Enhanced Barrier Precautions, signage should also clearly indicate the high-contact resident
care activities that require the use of gown and gloves. Nursing care facilities are to use enhanced barrier
precautions (EBP, gown and glove use) for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices
(i.e., indwelling urinary catheters) during high-contact resident care activities regardless of their
multidrug-resistant organism status. High-contact activity would include things like dressing, transferring,
changing linens, providing hygiene, changing briefs, wound care, or device care.
Review of CDC guidance at https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/faqs.html,
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Enhanced Barrier Precautions in Nursing Homes, revealed that
signs are intended to signal to individuals entering the room the specific actions they should take to protect
themselves and the resident. To do this effectively, the sign must contain information about the type of
precautions and the recommended PPE to be worn when caring for the resident. Generic signs that instruct
individuals to speak to the nurse are not adequate to ensure precautions are followed. CDC has created
examples of signs that can be used by facilities to communicate information about Transmission-Based and
Enhanced Barrier Precautions. Facilities can use these signs or modify them to create signs that work for
their facility.
Review of CDC guidance at
https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/media/pdfs/Observations-Tool-for-Enhanced-Barrier-Precautions-Implementat
Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) Implementation-Observations Tool (For use in Skilled Nursing
Facilities/Nursing Homes only) reiterated that signs are intended to signal to individuals entering the room
the specific actions they should take to protect themselves and the resident. To do this effectively, the sign
must contain information about the type of precautions and the recommended PPE to be worn when caring
for the resident. The EBP sign should also include a list of the high-contact resident care activities for which
PPE (gown and gloves) should be worn. Generic signs that instruct individuals to speak to the nurse are
not adequate to ensure EBP are followed. Signs should not include information about a resident's diagnosis
or the reason for the use of EBP (e.g., presence of a resistant germ, wound).

Residents Affected - Some
A review of the CDC sign for EBP revealed that the first directive is that everyone must clean their hands,
including before entering and when leaving the room.
Review of the facility's policy entitled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, last reviewed without changes May
22, 2024, revealed that the compliance guidelines included that the facility would have the discretion on
how to communicate to staff which residents require the use of EBP. The implementation of EBP included to
make gowns and gloves available near or outside the resident's room, ensure alcohol-based hand rub is in
every resident room, position a trash can and linen cart inside the resident room near the exit, the infection
preventionist will incorporate periodic monitoring and assessment of adherence to determine the need for
additional training and education, and provide education to residents and visitors.
The facility policy did not include the implementation of the placement of signage visible to individuals
entering the room to signal the specific actions they should take to protect themselves and the resident.
Clinical record review for Resident 101 revealed a physician's order dated March 28, 2025, for staff to
implement enhanced barrier precautions related to an indwelling urinary catheter (flexible tubing inserted
into the bladder to drain urine).
Observation of Resident 101's room on April 9, 2025, at 10:18 AM revealed that her door was partially shut.
There was no signage or indication before entering her room of the implementation of enhanced barrier
precautions.
Interview with Employee 2 (registered nurse) on April 9, 2025, at 10:33 AM revealed that the sign that
indicated Resident 101 required EBP was positioned on the inside of Resident 101's door and was not
visible to any person before entering her room. The interview confirmed that the sign positioned on the
inside of Resident 101's door was the CDC Enhanced Barrier Precautions sign that included the directive
that, Everyone must clean their hands, including before entering and when leaving the room.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on April 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM confirmed that the facility's
EBP policy did not include the necessity of signage to notify staff and/or visitors that EBP were necessary.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing on April 10, 2025, at 10:35 AM
confirmed that the facility policy did not include an expectation that staff would post a sign visible to
individuals entering the room to signal the specific EBP actions they should take to protect themselves and
the resident. The interview also confirmed that the facility policy did not include how the facility would
provide education to residents and visitors regarding EBP requirements. The interview indicated that
generally Employee 1 (assistant director of nursing/infection preventionist) ensures that a sign is posted.
The Director of Nursing stated that she believed that current nationally accepted standard guidance
regarding EBP did not require the use of a sign.
The surveyor referred the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator to the CDC and CMS
guidance noted above.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, review of select facility policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to provide recommended pneumococcal immunizations for one of five
residents reviewed for immunizations (Resident 4).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The policy entitled Pneumococcal Vaccination of Residents, last reviewed without changes May 22, 2024,
revealed all residents of the facility and/or admissions to the facility will be offered the pneumococcal
immunization. The resident and/or representative will receive information regarding the types of
vaccinations available, and the benefits and potential side effects of the vaccine. Each resident is offered a
pneumococcal immunization unless the immunization is medically contraindicated or if they have already
been immunized. Each resident's pneumococcal immunization status will be determined upon admission,
or soon afterwards, and will be documented on the pneumococcal consent form and in the resident's
medical record. The immunization/vaccine will be administered according to the standing physician order as
per CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommendations.
Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 4 on February 1, 2022. Documentation in
Resident 4's clinical record revealed she received two pneumococcal vaccines (Pneumovax 23 and Prevnar
13) prior to her admission in 2022. According to the CDC guidance entitled Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing
for Adults dated October 2024, Resident 4's pneumococcal vaccinations would not be completed until she
received a Prevnar 20 or Prevnar 21 at least five years after the last pneumococcal vaccine dose. There
was no documented evidence to indicate that the facility offered Resident 4 an updated pneumococcal
vaccination.
Interview with Employee 1, infection control preventionist, on April 11, 2025, at 10:05 AM confirmed the
above findings for Resident 4. Employee 1 stated at the time of sending Prevnar 20 consents (January
2024) Resident 4 was not yet eligible. Employee 1 indicated when Resident 4 became eligible the facility
missed obtaining a consent and offering her the updated pneumococcal vaccination. Employee 1 contacted
Resident 4's family and they indicated that they would like her to receive the vaccination.
