Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain a signed Informed Consent (IC-ethical and legal
process where a resident voluntarily confirms willingness for a procedure after being informed of relevant
risks, benefits, and alternatives) from the resident's responsible party (RP) prior to the administration of
Mirtazapine (medication used to treat depression [mood disorder causing persistent sadness]) 7.5 milligram
(mg- unit of measurement), for one of one sampled resident (Resident 59). This deficient practice violated
Resident 59 and the RP's right and had the potential for Resident 59 to receive medication against
Resident 59 or Resident 59's RP's will. Findings: During a review of Resident 59's admission Record (AR),
the AR indicated Resident 59 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung diseases that block airflow) and
depression. During a review of Resident 59's History & Physical (H&P) dated 12/19/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 59 did not have the capacity to make medical decisions. During a record review of
Resident 59's Order Summary (OS) dated with active orders as of 12/27/2025, the OS indicated for
licensed staff to administer Mirtazapine 7.5mg, one time a day (QD), by mouth (PO), for depression
manifested by (m/b) poor PO intake. During a review of Resident 59's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident
assessment tool) dated 12/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 59 had severely impaired cognition (ability
to understand and process thoughts) and was dependent on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). During a
review of Resident 59's Care Plan (CP) for antidepressant medication initiated on 12/29/2025, the CP
indicated to educate the resident/family/caregivers about risks, benefits and the side effects and/or toxic
symptoms of and to specify anti-depressant drugs being given. During a record review on 1/29/2026 at
12:27 p.m. of Resident 59's IC dated 12/19/2025, the IC for Mirtazapine 7.5 mg was not signed by Resident
59 nor Resident 59's RP. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/2026 at 10:20 a.m. of
Resident 59's IC, with Registered Nure 1 (RN 1), RN 1 stated the IC dated 12/19/2025 was signed with the
Nurse's signature who received the order. RN 1 stated the Physician (MD) notifies the family and the family
or resident or RP was required to sign the IC. RN 1 stated Resident 59's IC was not complete. During an
interview on 1/30/2026 at 10:32 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 59's IC
was not signed and the IC was not complete. The DON stated it was important to obtain a signed and
complete IC so that the facility's licensed staff could administer medications. During a review of the facility's
Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Informed Consent for Psychotherapeutic Medications, revised November
2025, the P&P indicated the Physician/Licensed Practitioner is responsible for obtaining informed consent
for the use of psychotherapeutic drugs. The Physician or Licensed Practitioner shall examine the resident
and obtain informed consent from the resident or the resident's representative.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the notice of discharge to the Ombudsman (an
advocate for residents of nursing homes) in a timely manner for one of one sampled resident (Resident 57).
This deficient practice increased the risks of unsafe discharge and violation of Resident 57's
rights.Findings: During a review of Resident 57's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 57
was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic
encephalopathy (brain problem caused by body chemistry) and lack of coordination. During a review of
Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/24/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 57 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS indicated Resident 57 was
dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff with eating, oral hygiene, personal hygiene, toileting hygiene,
showering/ bathing, and transferring. During a review of Resident 57's Physician Order (PO) dated
1/4/2026, the PO indicated to transfer Resident 57 to General Acute Care Hospital 2 (GACH 2) on 1/4/2026
for evaluation. During a review of Resident 57's SBAR (situation, background, assessment,
recommendation-a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there was a change of condition
among the residents) dated 1/4/2026, the SBAR indicated Resident 57 was transferred to GACH 2 for
further evaluation on 1/4/2026 due to congestion and distress. During a review of Resident 57's Notice of
Proposed Transfer/Discharge (NPTD) dated 1/4/2026, the NPTD indicated the copy of Resident 57's NPTD
was provided to the Ombudsman on 1/13/2026. The NPTD indicated Resident 57's Responsible Party 1(RP
1) was notified on 1/4/2026. During a review of Resident 57's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/19/2026,
the H&P indicated Resident 57 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During an
interview on 1/29/2026 at 11:44 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1(LVN 1), LVN 1 stated the social
service department would fax the NPTD to the Ombudsman after transferring a resident. LVN 1 stated the
purpose was to inform the Ombudsman that the facility transferred out the resident and where the resident
was discharged . LVN 1 stated it was important to provide the NPTD to the Ombudsman in a timely manner
because the Ombudsman needed to know the transfer reason. LVN 1 stated the Ombudsman protect the
residents. LVN 1 stated the Ombudsman should be notified within a day of transfer because the resident
sometimes return to the facility within the same day of transfer. LVN 1 stated, for Resident 57, it was late to
notify the Ombudsman on 1/13/2026 when Resident 57 was transferred to GACH 2 on 1/4/2026. LVN 1
stated it affected the continuity of Resident 57's care. LVN 1 stated the licensed nurse, who transferred
Resident 57 on 1/4/2026 should have faxed the NPTD to the Ombudsman on the day of transfer or the
following day if the social service was not available during the weekend. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 1/29/2026 at 12:29 PM with Social Service Director (SSD), Resident 57's NPTD dated
1/4/2026 was reviewed. Resident 57's NPTD indicated the copy was provided to the Ombudsman on
1/13/2026. The SSD stated the copy of Resident 57's NPTD was provided late to the Ombudsman on
1/13/2026. The SSD stated the SSD should have faxed the NPTD to the Ombudsman the following
business day of the transfer. The SSD stated it was important to fax the NPTD to notify the Ombudsman of
the resident's whereabout immediately. The SSD stated the Ombudsman was an advocate for the
residents. During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 8:46 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
the SSD should fax the NPTD to the Ombudsman within 24 hours of transferring a resident because it was
the regulation to notify the Ombudsman timely. The DON stated it violated the regulation when the NPTD
was not faxed to the Ombudsman timely. The DON stated it was not acceptable to fax the NPTD to the
Ombudsman on 1/13/2026 when Resident 57 was transferred to GACH 2 on 1/4/2026. During a review of

Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to complete a Significant Change - Minimum
Data Set (MDS - a comprehensive assessment and care screening tool) assessment for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 51). The resident was readmitted from the hospital with an indwelling catheter
(a flexible tube that's put into your bladder to drain urine into an external bag).This failure had the potential
to affect the accuracy of the resident's assessment, care planning, and monitoring of the resident's
needs.Findings:During a review of Resident 51's admission Record, the admission record indicated
Resident 66 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 66's diagnoses included but are not limited to
polyneuropathy, urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract), bipolar disorder
(sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to
elevated periods of emotional highs), depression (a serious mood disorder that causes persistent sadness
and loss of interest in daily activities, affecting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, and can lead to
physical problems), obstructive and reflux uropathy (a blockage in your body that makes it difficult or
impossible to pee), and anxiety disorder.During a review of Resident 51's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS
indicated Resident 51 was cognitively intact. Resident 51's was dependent for toileting hygiene, lower body
dressing, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 51 did not have an indwelling
catheter.During a review of Resident 51's nursing progress notes, dated 05/14/2025, the progress notes
indicated Resident 51 was sent to the hospital for abdominal pain.During a review of Resident 51's
Admission/Readmission/ Initial Assessment, dated 5/17/2025, the Admission/readmission Initial
Assessment indicated Resident 51 was readmitted to the facility from the hospital with an indwelling
catheter.During a review of Resident 51's Physician's Orders, dated 5/18/2025, Resident 51 had an order
for an indwelling catheter for obstructive uropathy (a blockage in the urinary tract that hinders urine flow,
causing urine to back up and potentially damage the kidneys) from 5/18/2025 to 1/22/2026.During a review
of Resident 51's Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated May 2025, the TAR indicated to secure
Resident 51's indwelling catheter and monitor the drainage for signs of infection.During a review of
Resident 51's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 51 had an indwelling catheter.During a
review of Resident 51's medical records from May 2025 to January 2026, Resident 51's medical records did
not indicate a Significant Change MDS was completed.During a concurrent interview and record review on
1/30/2026 at 9:12 a.m. with the MDS Coordinator, the RAI Manual, dated 10/2024 was reviewed. The RAI
Manual indicated, a Significant Change Status Assessment (SCSA) is necessary when, it is determined
that there has been a significant change (either improvement or decline) in a resident's condition from their
baseline, the resident's condition is not expected to return to baseline within two weeks, and for a resident
who frequently leaves and reenters the facility, and reentry is anticipated within the next 30 days. The MDS
Coordinator stated, she thought a significant change MDS assessment was not completed for Resident 51
because the indwelling catheter did not impact Resident 51's activity of daily living. The MDS Coordinator
stated, after reviewing the RAI Manual guidelines, a significant change in status assessment should have
been made because Resident 51 came back with a significant condition that was a decline from the
baseline.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change in a Resident's
Condition or Status, dated 2001, indicated, A significant change of condition is a major decline or
improvement in the resident's status that:Will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by
implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions (in not self-limiting);Impacts more than one
area of the resident's health status;Requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision to the care

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a physician's order regarding the use of
incentive spirometer (IS, a tool that helped lungs breathe better) for one of one sampled resident (Resident
27). This violation had the potential to compromise Resident 27's health and safety.Findings: During a
review of Resident 27's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 27 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (brain problem caused by body chemistry,
often linked to respiratory infection [an illness affecting breathing]) and dementia (a progressive state of
decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 27's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/4/2026,
the H&P indicated Resident 27 could make needs known but could not make medical decisions. During a
review of Resident 27's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool) dated
1/6/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 27 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS
indicated Resident 27 required setup assistance with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 27 required
moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toilet hygiene, personal
hygiene, and bed-to-chair transferring. The MDS indicated Resident 27 required maximal assistance
(helper did more than half the effort) with showering/bathing. During a concurrent observation and interview
on 1/27/2026 at 9:24 AM with Resident 27 at bedside, the IS mouthpiece was placed on the flat top surface
of the nightstand. Resident 27 stated Resident 27 used the IS for breathing exercises daily. During an

the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) at Resident 27's bedside, the IS mouthpiece was placed on the flat
top surface of the nightstand. The IPN stated the IS was for Resident 27 to exercise breathing. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/2026 at 3:35 PM with the IPN, Resident 27's active Order
Summary Report (OSR) was reviewed. There was no physician's order for the use of IS. The IPN stated
there should be a physician's order for the use of the IS prior to providing the IS to Resident 27. The IPN
stated it was not acceptable to have the IS at Resident 27's bedside without a physician's order. The IPN
stated the licensed nurse should follow up with the physician for the IS order for Resident 27. The IPN
stated the licensed nurse should assess Resident 27 for any cough, respiratory distress, lung sounds,
breathing, and oxygen saturation (the amount of oxygen in the blood). The IPN stated the licensed nurse
should inform the physician about Resident 27's assessment and have the physician decide whether to
continue the IS or not. During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 8:46 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the
DON stated the licensed nurse should have obtained the physician's order prior to starting the IS treatment
because it was the standard of nursing practice. The DON stated the licensed nurse should check the
physician's order to ensure the order was current and active. During a review of the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P) titled Incentive Spirometer, revised 10/2024, the P&P indicated to obtain a physician's

management and the CP goal indicated Resident 3 would be free from skin injury. During a review of
Resident 3's Order Summary Report (OSR) with active orders as of 1/29/2026, the OSR indicated a
physician's order for licensed staff to monitor the LALM function and setting every shift starting on
1/28/2026. During an observation on 1/27/2026 at 9:53 AM in Resident 3's room, Resident 3 was lying on a
LALM. The LALM weight setting was set at 200 lbs. During an observation on 1/27/2026 at 12:40 PM in
Resident 3's room, Resident 3 was lying on a LALM. The LALM weight setting was set at 200 lbs. During a
concurrent review and interview on 1/29/2026 at 10:19 AM with the facility's Wound Care Nurse 1 (WCN1),
the pictures taken dated 1/27/2026 at 9:54 AM and 12:40 PM were reviewed. The pictures indicated
Resident 3's LALM setting was set at 200 lbs. WCN 1 stated the LALM setting in the pictures was not the
appropriate LALM setting according to Resident 3's weight of 134 lbs. WCN 1 stated the LALM would help
with wound healing and should be set up according to resident's weight or preference. WCN 1 stated the
LALM was firm when the setting was high, and would lose its purpose. WCN 1 stated WCN 1 would check
with the responsible party (RP)'s preference for non-alert residents (in general). WCN 1 stated if the RP
preferred the LALM to be firmer with the higher setting, WCN 1 would educate the risk and benefit and
document on the nursing progress note as needed. WCN 1 stated there was no documentation indicating
RP 2 preferred to have Resident 3's LALM setting at 200 lbs. WCN 1 stated the licensed nurse should
monitor the resident's weight and the setting of LALM to ensure the resident's wound and skin integrity was
not worsening. WCN 1 stated WCN1 checked the LALM setting during treatment. During an interview with
the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/30/2026 at 8:46 AM, the DON stated the LALM should be set according
to the resident's weights when there was no documentation indicating the resident or the RP's preferences.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Specialty Mattress - Pressure Relieving
Devices, revised on 1/2024, the P&P indicated staff were to follow the LALM manufacturer's user
instructions for setup. During a review of Proactive medical products: Operator's Manual Item for Protekt

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 follow proper food storage handling
practices in accordance with its policy and procedure (P&P) for one of one facility kitchen, as evidenced
by:1.Ground turkey meat bag dated 5/15/25 was placed on top of an ice bag inside the kitchen freezer.
2.Ten (10) fruit cups inside the kitchen refrigerator were expired, dated 1/26/26.3. Fourteen (14) red
pudding cups inside the kitchen refrigerator were expired, dated 1/26/26.4. [NAME] rice and [NAME] rice
inside plastic containers had a best by date of 1/6/26 in the dry storage room. 5. Test strips to measure the
concentration of the sanitizer solution inside the Red bucket had an expiration date of 11/1/24. These
deficient practices had the potential for food borne illnesses.Findings: During initial kitchen observation and
interview with the Director of Nutrition (DN) on 1/27/26 at 8:12 AM, a bag of ground turkey meat dated
5/15/25 was placed on top of an ice bag inside the kitchen freezer. The DN stated the ice machine inside
the kitchen broke the night before so ice bags were purchased for residents' use until the ice machine was
fixed. The DN stated the bag of ground turkey meat should not have been placed on top of the bag of ice
because if the ice bag is not completely sealed, the ground turkey meat could contaminate the ice. The DN
stated if contaminated ice is served to the residents it could potentially make them sick. During an
observation and interview with the Kitchen [NAME] (C1) on 1/27/26 at 8:18 AM, C1 stated the ground
turkey meat should not have been placed directly on top of an ice bag if the meat was raw, but since the
meat was frozen then it was ok. During a concurrent observation and interview with C1 on 1/27/26 at 8:20
AM, C1 stated the ground turkey meat was dated 5/15/25 but since it was frozen, the meat could still be
used. During the same observation and interview, C1 pointed out a separate date of 11/25/25 that was
placed on the bottom of the ground turkey meat bag. C1 stated, I think that's when they opened it. This one
has two dates; one is when it was received and the other one is when it was opened. But the date doesn't
specify which date is which. C1 stated the ground turkey meat should not be inside the freezer and should
have been discarded because it could possible be expired at this time. During a follow up interview with the
DN on 1/27/26 at 8:23 AM, the DN stated if the ground turkey meat had no label indicating the use by date
or best by date, the food item should be discarded to ensure it was safe to eat and not expired. The DN
stated residents could get sick if given expired food, which had a potential to cause harm. During the same
kitchen observation and interview with the DN and C1 on 1/27/26 at 8:27 AM, ten (10) fruit cups and
fourteen (14) red pudding cups were inside the kitchen refrigerator with a label dated 1/26/26 indicating for
today's (1/27/26) lunch. C1 stated the items were dated 1/26/26 because that was when they were made.
The DN stated that according to the date on the labels, the food items were expired and should have been
thrown away. The DN stated expired items should be discarded to ensure they were not given to the
residents by accident causing the residents to get sick. During a concurrent observation and interview with
the DN of the kitchen dry storage room on 1/27/26 at 8:33 AM, a plastic container of brown rice and a
plastic container of [NAME] rice with a best by date of 1/6/26 was found. The DN stated both types of rice
should be discarded since the rice could be expired. During an observation and interview with the facility's
kitchen's Dishwasher (DW) on 1/27/26 at 8:37 AM, the DW used test strips to measure the concentration of
the sanitizing solution inside the Red-Bucket with an expiration date of 11/1/24. The DW stated the DW was
not aware the test strips were expired. The DW stated it was important to check the concentration of the
sanitizing solution inside the red bucket to determine if it was effective to kill bacteria and germs. The DW
stated if the solution was not accurately concentrated, bacteria could spread in the kitchen causing
contamination and could spread to

the residents' food resulting in illness if consumed. The DW stated the sanitizing solution was used on the
kitchen countertops where the clean utensils and serving spoons were kept. During an interview with the
Dietary Supervisor (DS) on 1/27/26 at 8:45 AM, the DS stated using a sanitizing solution to clean and
disinfect the kitchen area and surfaces help prevent cross-contamination and ensure food preparation
surfaces, cutting boards, and equipment do not transfer bacteria from raw to cooked foods. The DS stated if
expired strips had been used to measure the concentration of the sanitizing solution in the red bucket, more
than likely the reading was not accurate. The DS stated using an effective sanitizing solution was critical to
eliminate bacteria and to prevent foodborne illnesses. The DS stated most residents at the facility had weak
immune system and foodborne illnesses could result in severe illness or hospitalization of residents. During
an observation and interview with C2 inside the kitchen on 1/28/26 at 12:15 PM, C2 used a wet towel from
the red bucket that contained sanitizing solution to clean the food prep countertop and other kitchen areas.
C2 stated the solution used to clean and disinfect the counter tops in the food prep area needed to be
checked using non-expired test strips. C2 stated if the solution did not have enough/effective concentration
to kill and disinfect germs and bacteria, it could potentially cause cross contamination to other areas of the
kitchen. C2 stated if contaminated food was served to the residents, it would make the residents sick.
During an interview with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) on 1/28/26 at 1:32 PM, the IPN stated test
strips should not be expired. The IPN stated if the testing strips were expired, the result would be
inaccurate. The IPN stated using an expired test strip was not allowed because the areas that were cleaned
with the sanitizing solution would not be disinfected properly. During an interview with the IPN on 1/28/26 at
1:34 PM, the IPN stated kitchen staff needed to ensure nothing in the kitchen was expired. The IPN stated
the kitchen should not have any expired food primarily because residents were highly vulnerable and had
low immune system. The IPN stated if residents consume expired food, it would be dangerous because
expired food could cause foodborne illnesses. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Food Receiving
and Storage, reviewed 11/2024, the P&P indicated, Food shall be received and stored in a manner that
complies with safe food handling practices. All foods stored in the refrigerator or freezer are covered,
labeled and dated (use by date). Dry foods that are stored in bins are removed from original packaging,
labeled and dated (use by date). Refrigerated foods should be labeled, dated and monitored so they are
used by their use-by date, frozen, or discarded. During a review of the facility's P&P titled,
Kitchen-Sanitation and Infection Control, reviewed 3/20/25, the P&P indicated, The food service area is
maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. All equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils were cleaned
and sanitized using heat or chemical sanitizing solutions. Service area wiping cloth should be cleaned and
dried or placed in a chemical sanitizing solution of appropriate concentration.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and follow infection prevention
procedures to prevent the transmission of infectious organisms for four of eight sampled residents
(Residents 1, 27, 43, and 61) by failing to: a. Cover the [NAME] Valve's (a device that controlled fluid flow in
medical tubing) port, which had dry brown crust inside on Resident 1's gastrostomy tube (G-tube [GT], a
surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings/medications to be administered directly to the
stomach) and ensure Resident 1's abdominal binder (a wrap that kept the belly secure to stop G-tube
pulling) did not have brown stains. b. Ensure the incentive spirometer (IS, a tool that helps lungs breathe
better) mouthpiece was not placed on the flat top surface of the nightstand for Resident 27. c. Date the
nasal cannula (NC, a small plastic tube that fits into the person's nostrils for providing supplemental
oxygen) storage bag for Resident 43. d. Keep the Foley catheter (FC, a soft, plastic or rubber tube inserted
into the bladder to drain urine) drainage bag off the floor for Resident 61. These deficient practices had the
potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for Residents 1, 27, 43,
and 61. Findings:

admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dysphasia (difficulty
swallowing) and aphasia (difficulty speaking or writing) following cerebral infraction (a blood vessel
blockage in the brain) and encounter for attention to gastrostomy.
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated 12/14/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
1 could not make needs known and did not have the capacity to make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 12/10/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand).
The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none) on staff for
oral hygiene, toilet hygiene, personal hygiene, shower and bathing, upper and lower body dressing and
putting on/taking off footwear.
During a review of Resident 1's untitled Care Plan (CP) initiated on 11/21/25, the CP indicated the resident
will remain free of side effects of complications related to tube feeding. The CP intervention indicated
abdominal binder to be worn at all times to prevent the resident from pulling out the GT.
During an observation of Resident 1 on 1/28/26 at 8:37 AM in Resident 1's room, Resident 1's GT line was
hanging on the side of the bed, the medication port had dry brown crust inside and was not covered with a
cap.
During a concurrent observation of Resident 1 on 1/28/26 at 8:38 AM, Resident 1's abdominal binder was
observed with brown stains.
During an observation and interview inside Resident 1s room with the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) on
1/28/2026 at 8:41 AM, the WCN stated Resident 1's GT port was crusty, dry and it should have a cap to
cover it. The WCN stated if bacteria were present in the GT port area, it could cause an infection to
Resident 1. The WCN stated the GT port was dirty and bacteria could grow. The WCN stated the facility
staff do not want the residents to get sick and staff were supposed to prevent any type of infection by
making sure everything was clean in the facility.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/28/2026 at 9:09 AM with the WCN at Resident 1's
bedside, the WCN stated Resident 1's abdominal binder was dirty with brown stains. The WCN stated the
abdominal binder should be kept clean primarily to prevent infection at the stoma site (the opening where
the tube enters the skin). The WCN stated a soiled or dirty binder acts as a breeding ground for bacteria
causing irritation of the GT site or infection to Resident 1. The WCN stated keeping the abdominal binder
clean was essential to prevent infections, skin breakdown and to protect Resident 1 from leakage of the GT
formula or stomach contents.
During an interview with the facility's Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) on 1/28/2026 at 1:32 PM, the IPN
stated the GT port should be covered with a cap to close the opening when not in use. The IPN stated the
