female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: Dementia (a term used to describe a
group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities), muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting or
thinning of muscle mass), cognitive communication deficit (a difficulty with communication that is caused by
a problem with thinking) and vascular dementia (a condition caused by the lack of blood that carries oxygen
and nutrient to a part of the brain. It causes problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, and memory).
Record review of Resident #8's most recent MDS (quarterly), ARD/Target date 01/12/2024, revealed in
Section C, Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), the section was coded Not assessed. Further review of
the residents EHR revealed the resident was present in the facility during the 7-day period for this
assessment.

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #33's most recent MDS (Annual), ARD/Target date 01/21/2024, revealed in
Section C, Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), the section was coded Not assessed. Section C for the
staff assessment was also blank. Further review of the residents EHR revealed the resident was present in
the facility during the 7-day period for this assessment.
Record review of Resident #33's prior MDS (quarterly), ARD/Target date 12/22/2023, revealed in Section C,
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), the score was 00, indicating the resident had severely impaired
cognition.
During an interview with MDS LVN E on 02/16/2024 at 5:00 PM, MDS LVN E revealed she was responsible
for completing MDS assessments for managed care residents and the social worker was responsible for
the assessments for long-term care residents. MDS LVN E further stated she had been employed by the
facility since June 2023, was able to complete MDS assessments for all the residents and had not done so
due to a miscommunication.
During an interview with the MDS Resource on 02/16/2024 at 5:30 PM, the MDS Resource revealed it was
concerning the BIMS assessments were not completed for several residents. There was more than one
MDS LVN on the staff and it was clear the teamwork was not effective. There was a change in social
worker; however, even if there was no social worker, one MDS coordinator could have completed all the
assessments, as the assessment only takes about five minutes.
During an interview with the DON and MDS LVN F on 02/16/2024 at 5:58 PM, the DON and MDS LVN F,
who was contacted by phone, revealed the residents' BIMS on the assessments was not completed prior to
the ARD and should have been. The DON stated MDS LVN F could have completed the assessment if the
social worker was not present, and MDS LVN F confirmed she could have done the assessments. MDS
LVN F acknowledged the ARD needed to be checked daily to ensure the assessments were completed in a
timely manner and accurately reflected the residents' status. When asked for a policy on completing BIMS,
the DON stated the facility used the CMS RAI manual.
Record review of CMS RAI Version 3.0 Manual revealed: C0100: Should Brief Interview for Mental Status
Be Conducted? Coding Instructions: Code 0, no: if the interview should not be conducted because the
resident is rarely/never understood; cannot respond verbally, in writing, or using another method; or an
interpreter is needed but not available. Code 1, yes: if the interview should be conducted because the
resident is at least sometimes understood verbally, in writing, or using another method, and if an interpreter
is needed, is available. Coding Tips. Attempt to conduct the interview with ALL residents. This interview is
conducted during the look-back period of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD) and is not contingent
upon item B0700, Makes Self Understood.

treatments. Resident #388 stated he was given paperwork to take with him to the dialysis clinic by the
facility nurse. Resident #388 stated, the dialysis clinic takes the paperwork from the back of my wheelchair,
it's like they know I have it, I think they put it back in my bag, I don't know, I think so, or maybe not I don't
know. Resident #388 further stated he did not believe facility staff took back the paperwork after coming
back from the dialysis clinic and believed the paperwork could still be in the resident's backpack. Resident
#388 then retrieved the Renal Dialysis Communication Form, dated 2/12/24 from a bag sitting on the
resident's bed.
During an interview with LVN A on 2/16/24 at 9:28 a.m., LVN A revealed all the facilities associated with the
company followed the same policy and procedure for dialysis. LVN A stated, before a resident went to
dialysis, it was the facility's job to ensure the top portion of the Renal Dialysis Communication Form was
completed before the resident went to dialysis. LVN A further revealed, once the resident returned from
dialysis, the facility had to ensure the middle section of the form was completely filled out by dialysis staff
and the bottom section was completed by the facility staff upon the resident's return from dialysis. LVN A
stated, it the middle section of the Renal Dialysis Communication Form, reserved for the dialysis staff, was
incomplete, the facility staff should be notifying the dialysis clinic either by phone or fax to obtain the
information. LVN A stated the Renal Dialysis Communication Form had to be filled out completely before it
was turned over to medical records. LVN A stated it was important to complete the Renal Dialysis
Communication Form because it served as communication between the facility and the dialysis clinic on the
resident's care and to document any significant change, such as a new order.
An observation and interview on 2/16/24 at 10:05 a.m., the DON revealed the residents who received
dialysis treatments were given a yellow folder which included a face sheet in case the resident was
transported to the hospital, and the Renal Dialysis Communication Form. The DON further revealed, the top
section of the form was filled out by the facility nursing staff, the middle section was completed by the
dialysis clinic staff and the facility nursing staff completed the bottom section of the form upon the resident's
return. The DON stated the former ADON used to be in charge of taking the Renal Dialysis Communication
Form, checked them for completeness and then sent the forms to the medical records department to scan
into the resident's record. The DON, after reviewing Resident #388, #9 and #65's Renal Dialysis
Communication Forms revealed there were several missing items on most of all 3 sections of the forms.
The DON stated she had been responsible for checking the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms for
completeness but stated, I'm gonna be honest, I have not checked them this week. The DON further stated
she wanted to check the form before they get scanned into the computer for completeness. The DON
stated, after reviewing the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms revealed, It appeared the (former) ADON
was making sure we were getting the communication sheets but not checking if they were actually
completed. The DON revealed it was important to ensure the Renal Dialysis Communication Forms were
complete because it gave information on how well the resident tolerated dialysis or how to take care of the
resident if there should be any complications. The DON stated, the problem is we're not checking to make
sure the form is completed, and the proper person signs it.
Record review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Dialysis (Renal), Pre- and Post-Care, revision
date 12/2023 revealed in part, .It is the policy of this facility to .Participate in ongoing communication and

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve
food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen, in that:
Residents Affected - Some
1. There was plastic storage container of food thickener in the dry storage room that was not properly
sealed.
2. There was a clear plastic bag with pieces of raw bacon in the reach in cooler that was not sealed, labeled
or dated.
3. There was a box containing individual portions of roll dough in the walk in freezer that was open and the
bag inside the box was open.
These failures could place residents who received meals and/or snacks from the kitchen at risk for food
borne illness.
The findings included:
1. Observation on 02/13/2024 at 10:14 AM in the dry storage room revealed a white 10-gallon food storage
container on a rack. The lid on the storage container was labeled Thickener 1/19/24 and was not properly
sealed onto the container, exposing the contents to the ambient air in the dry storage room and potential
contamination by pathogens, bacteria and pests.
During an interview on 02/13/2024 at 10:16 AM with the DM he acknowledged the lid was not tightly sealed
onto the container and the thickener inside the container was exposed to the ambient air in the dry storage
room and potential bacterial and pest contamination. The DM stated all dietary employees were trained to
label, date and completely seal all food stored in the dry storage room, and both he and the consultant
dietitian provided training monthly.
2. Observation 02/13/2024 at 10:20 AM in the reach-in cooler revealed a clear plastic bag containing 5
pieces of raw bacon. The bag was placed in a quarter size 4 deep pan. The bag was not sealed and there
was no label indicating the bag's contents or the date by which the bacon should be used or discarded.
During an interview on 02/13/2024 at 10:22 AM with the DM he acknowledged the bag of bacon should
have been properly sealed, labeled and dated with the use-by date, and stated the bag was probably not
sealed and labeled because the staff was hurrying to prepare the breakfast meal.
3. Observation on 02/13/2024 at 10:26 AM in the walk-in freezer revealed a 15 lb. box containing individual
1-oz. units of white roll dough. The box was open and the bag inside the box containing the portions of
dough was also open, exposing the contents to the ambient air in the freezer and subjecting the product to
potential deterioration and spoilage.
During an interview on 02/13/2024 at 10:27 AM with the DM he acknowledged both the bag holding the
portions of roll dough in the box and the box were not properly sealed and the product was exposed to the

These deficient practices could place residents at-risk for infections.
The findings included:
1. During an observation on 02/13/23 at 3:21 p.m. CNA G checked blood pressures using one wrist blood
pressure cuff for residents on the C hallway. CNA G checked Residents #81, #83, #100, and #101 blood
pressure and did not sanitize the cuff between each resident.
During an interview on 02/13/23 at 3:40 p.m. CNA G stated she did not have any sanitizer wipes available
to her while she checked residents blood pressures. CNA G stated she should sanitize the blood pressure
cuff between each resident to prevent cross contamination. CNA G stated the ADON brought her sainting
wipes by the time of the interview, and she could have asked for wipes prior if she did not find any available.
2. Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 02/15/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: type II diabetes mellitus with
