F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident would not be allowed to take medications left at bedside without a physician's order and without being assessed to determine if the resident was capable to self-administer medications for one of one sampled resident (Resident 41). Residents Affected - Few Findings: A review of Resident 41's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/2/2018 with diagnoses including gastroesophageal reflux disease (occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach) and Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination). A review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 9/20/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 41 needed one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene; and required setup and supervision with eating. A review Resident 41's Physician's Order dated 6/30/2020 to 12/20/2022 indicated calcium carbonate (a type of medication used to treat symptoms caused by too much stomach acid such as heartburn) 500 milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement of weight) by mouth once a day at 8:30 a.m. A review of Resident 41's Physician's Order dated 8/31/2021 to 12/20/2022 indicated docusate sodium (a type of medication used to treat constipation) 100 mg by mouth once a day at 8:30 a.m. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2022 at 10:58 a.m., in Resident 41's room, observed two medication cups at the bedside. Resident 41 stated one medication cup had Tums (brand name for calcium carbonate) and Colace (brand name for docusate sodium); the resident stated those medications were from 12/18/2022 around 8 a.m. when her nurse dropped them off. The resident stated the second medication cup had tums that was dropped off to her by her nurse on 12/19/2022 around 8 a.m. The resident stated it was up to her if she wanted to take those medications at a later time. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 11:30 a.m. Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated Resident 41 did not have self-administration assessment for Colace, Tums, and other tablets before 12/19/2022. RN 1 stated the resident should not have had medications at the bedside without self-administration assessment. RN 1 stated the facility must know that the resident was aware the kind of medications she was supposed to take and when to take the medications. RN 1 stated the facility should have done the assessment and care planning with the resident first. RN 1 stated the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

RN 1 stated the resident did not have a physician's order to self-administer medications but should have had one. RN 1 stated without the physician's order, the facility cannot implement leaving medications at the bedside if the doctor did not order it. A review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled, Medication (Self Administration), dated 10/2022, indicated, The purpose of this policy is to establish uniform guidelines concerning the self-administration of medication . Medications allowed to be left at bedside may be done only on the specific order of the physician . Residents/patients who wish to administer their own medications must be assessed for competency before they will be granted approval to do so .

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a call light (a device used by a patient to signal his or her need for assistance from a professional staff) was within reach for one of one sampled resident (Resident 9). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had placed Resident 9 at risk for injury for not having a way to reach staff when help is needed. Findings: A review of Resident 9's Face Sheet admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 12/14/2021 and readmitted the resident on 2/9/2022 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular accident (CVA - also known as stroke or brain attack; is an interruption in the blood flow to cells in the brain) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition that affects the way the body regulates and uses blood sugar). A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 12/6/2022, indicated the resident had a severe cognitive (relating to thinking, reasoning, or remembering) impairment (loss or damage). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required one-person extensive assistance with bed mobility, two-person total assistance with transfer, and one-person total assistance with dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 9's Care Plan with start date 1/6/2022 and edited on 12/21/2022, indicated the resident had a fall and the family removing the call light during visit. The Care Plan indicated the resident's family was educated about the importance of keeping the call light within the resident's reach. The Care Plan also indicated frequent monitoring and checking of the placement of the call light by staff when the resident is in the room or bed. During an observation on 12/19/2022 at 10:50 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed the resident's call light in bed not within the resident's reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair in front of the television. During a second observation on 12/20/2022 at 10:39 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed the resident's call light in bed not within the resident's reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair in front of the television. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 10:45 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) the resident's call light in bed not within the resident's reach while the resident sat in his wheelchair. LVN 1 stated the resident's call light was in bed but should have been within the resident's reach. LVN 1 stated the resident would not be able to reach the call light to call for help. LVN 1 stated the resident was able to use his arms and able to use the call light sometimes. During an interview on 12/20/2022 at 11:09 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) stated Resident 9 was able to use the call light sometimes. CNA 1 stated the resident's family was in the facility around 8:40 a.m. and took the resident around the building. CNA 1 stated she was not sure what time the resident's family returned the resident back to the room.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 10:35 a.m., the Director of Education (DOE) stated the call light should always be within a resident's reach. The DSD stated the purpose of the call light was for a resident to be able to call for help when help was needed. The DSD stated when the call light was not within Resident 9's reach, the resident's needs would not be met because he would not be able to call, and this placed the resident at risk of feeling isolated. The DOE stated when the resident's family took the resident outside, this did not relieve the facility of any responsibility of ensuring that the call light was placed within the resident's reach after the family left. During a third observation and concurrent interview on 12/21/2022 at 9:22 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed with CNA 2 the resident's call light was in bed under a pillow while the resident sat in his wheelchair in front of the television. CNA 2 stated the resident did not have his call light within reach but should have been within the resident's reach. Observed CNA 2 gave the call light to the resident and the resident held the call light with his right hand. During an interview on 12/21/2022 at 3:54 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated if Resident 9 was in his room, he should have had the call light within his reach. The DON stated it was still the facility's responsibility to ensure the resident had the call light and frequently checked on the resident to make sure the family did not remove the call light. The DON stated not having the call light within the resident's reach placed the resident at risk for fall or injury. A review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Answering Call Lights, dated 10/2022, indicated, When the resident/patient is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident/patient .

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. A review of Resident 53's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance) indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/10/2022 with diagnoses that included bacterial infection (when bacteria enter the body causing a reaction in the body). A review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/16/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. On 12/21/2022 at 10:16 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) verified that the resident's Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST - a written medical order that helps give people with serious illnesses more control over their own care by specifying the types of medical treatment they want to receive during serious illness), dated 11/10/2022, indicated that the section addressing advance directives was left blank. MDSC 1 also verified that the Social Service Initial Assessment (a report written by Social Services evaluating a resident's educational, mental health, substance abuse, or occupational needs), dated 11/12/2022, did not address discussing advance directives with the resident. On 12/21/2022 at 10:38 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Social Services Designee 1 (SSD 1) stated that the topic of advance directives are first discussed with residents during their initial Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - an approach to healthcare that integrates multiple disciplines through collaboration) meeting. Upon review of her notes, SSD 1 stated the resident does not have an advance directive. SSD 1 stated that, if a resident state they do not have one, the facility will offer to help them formulate one. SSD 1 stated she could not find any documentation indicating that this was done. On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the admissions office is responsible for taking care of advance directives before the resident is even admitted . The DON stated that the Advance Directive Acknowledgement Form should be included with the resident's admission packet, but she did not see it included in the packet. The DON stated they do not discuss advance directives with short-term residents because they are only going to be in the facility for two or three weeks. The DON stated she was unsure of what their policy was regarding advance directives. The DON stated that advance directives are important because it helps the facility know what to do in terms of medical treatment if the resident were to become incompetent. The DON stated they would not want to go against the resident's wishes. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Advance Directives, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated that a resident's choice about advance directives will be respected. Prior to, or upon admission, the admissions staff will ask residents and/or their family members about the existence of any advance directives. d. A review of Resident 166's Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/8/2022 with diagnoses that included displaced intertrochanteric fracture (when the bone breaks into pieces that move out of their normal alignment) of the left femur (thigh bone).

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 166's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had intact cognition and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. On 12/21/2022 at 10:29 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, MDSC 1 verified that the resident's POLST, dated 12/9/2022, indicated that the section addressing advance directives was left blank. MDSC 1 also verified that the Social Services Initial Assessment, dated 12/11/2022, did not address discussing advance directives with the resident. On 12/21/2022 at 10:46 a.m., during an interview, SSD 1 stated she did not know if the resident had an advance directive or not. On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the admissions office is responsible for taking care of advance directives before the resident is even admitted .

Prior to, or upon admission, the admissions staff will ask residents and/or their family members about the existence of any advance directives. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to inform residents and their responsible party about their right to formulate an advance directive (a written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment) upon admission for four out of ten (Resident 12, Resident 53, Resident 166, and Resident 212) sampled residents investigated for advance directives. This deficient practice violated the residents' and/or the representatives' right to be fully informed of the option to formulate their advance directives and had the potential to cause conflict with the residents' wishes regarding their health care. Findings: a. A review of Resident 12's Face sheet indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on 7/22/2021 and readmitted the resident on 6/15/2022 with diagnoses that included dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), chronic kidney disease (a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should), and essential (primary) hypertension (blood pressure that is higher than normal). A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 10/25/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others sometimes. The MDS indicated Resident 12 required extensive assistance with eating, bed mobility, toilet use; and total assistance with transfers. The MDS indicated advance directive was not completed.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident had a comprehensive care plan (contains relevant information about a patient's diagnosis, the goals of treatment, the specific nursing orders, and an evaluation plan) addressing her use of insulin (a hormone that controls the amount of glucose [sugar] in the bloodstream) and antidepressant (medication used to treat depression [a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest] for one (Resident 165) out of five sampled residents investigated for unnecessary medications. This deficient practice had the potential to result in failure to deliver the necessary care and services. Findings: A review of Resident 165's Face Sheet (a document that gives a patient's information at a quick glance) indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on 12/3/2022 and readmitted the resident on 12/3/2022 with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM - an impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel) and depression. A review of Resident 165's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 12/12/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 165's Physician Order Report (document summarizing the resident's physician's orders) indicated the following orders: 1. Humulin R Regular U-100 insulin (a short-acting insulin that starts to work in 30 minutes) 100 units/mL (units per milliliter - the unit of measure for insulin), sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood sugar level), ordered on 12/3/2022. 2. Novolin N (an intermediate-acting insulin that works more slowly but lasts longer than regular insulin) Flexpen (a syringe pre-filled with insulin) 100 units/mL, 38 units subcutaneous (under the skin) for diagnosis of DM, ordered on 12/3/2022. 3. Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate - medication used to treat depression and anxiety [a mental disorder characterized by feelings of excessive uneasiness and apprehension]) 10 milligrams (mg) oral (by mouth) for depression manifested by (m/b) verbalization of depressed feeling affecting activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks a person needs to be able to do on their own to live independently), once a day, ordered on 12/14/2022. On 12/21/2022 at 10:34 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, Minimum Data Set Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) stated she could not find any care plans addressing the resident's use of insulin and Lexapro. On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it is important to have a specific care plan if a resident is taking Lexapro or insulin. The DON stated it was important to list the specific side effects of the medications that the nurses needed to look out for.

Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in a negative impact on the resident`s self- esteem due to an unkempt appearance. Findings: A review of Resident 35`s Face Sheet indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 04/21/2022 with diagnoses that included muscle weakness, benign prostatic hyperplasia (age-associated prostate gland [gland in the male reproductive system] enlargement), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe). A review of Resident 35's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized assessment and screening tool), dated 10/27/2022, indicated the resident's cognitive skills (thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and remembering) for daily decision making was is intact. The MDS indicated Resident 35 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfer, and dressing; and was totally dependent on staff for eating, toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing. A review of Resident 35 `s Care Plan (CP-a formal process that correctly identifies existing needs and recognizes potential needs or risks) dated 11/8/2022, indicated a a problem of self-care deficit related to general functional decline due to disease process. The CP outlined several approaches including to provide appropriate level of care to meet resident`s needs such as assistance with bed mobility, transfers, eating, locomotion, dressing, personal hygiene, toileting, and bathing. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2022 at 10:40 a.m., observed Resident 35 in his room sitting on a wheelchair watching television. Resident 35 stated that he had asked the staff to cut his fingernails but stated they do not have the time to do it. According to the resident, it will look cleaner and nicer if his fingernails were clean and short. The Director for Education (DOE) came to the room, made the same observation that Resident 35`s fingernails were long, and stated that the certified nurse assistants (CNAs) are supposed to have trimmed the resident`s fingernails as part of their activities of daily living (ADL- activities related to personal care. They include bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, walking, using the toilet, and eating) care. According to the DOE, residents should have their nails trimmed and cleaned to prevent infection and prevent residents` from accidentally injuring themselves when they are scratching. A review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Hygiene and Grooming, last reviewed in October 2022, indicated that residents who are dependent in grooming shall have their nails cleaned at least weekly and clipped as necessary.

A review of Resident 7's Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 8/1/2022 to 12/22/2022 indicated no monitoring done for side effects of Remeron. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 11:18 a.m., Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated Resident 7 did not have monitoring for adverse side effects of Remeron from 8/2022 to 12/2022 on the MAR. RN 1 stated there should have been a monitoring for adverse side effects. RN 1 stated without monitoring for adverse side effects, there was no way to know how the resident's body was reacting to the medication. RN stated some of the adverse side effects of Remeron were dizziness, fatigue, vertigo (a sensation of feeling off balance), tachycardia (fast heart rate), and hypotension (low blood pressure). RN 1 stated the resident was placed at risk for injury or falls. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/22/2022 at 1 p.m., RN 1 stated Resident 7 had not been monitored for side effects of Remeron since it was ordered on 12/29/2020 because the order for monitoring for adverse side effects was placed incorrectly; RN 1 stated the monitoring was ordered as needed but should have been every shift. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Psychotropic Medication Assessment & Monitoring, dated 10/2022, indicated, Psychotropic drugs are used only when necessary and then at the lowest effective dose. Monitoring for drug side effects leads to early identification and reporting .

Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 167's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 12/16/2022, indicated the resident had intact cognition (thought processes) and required extensive assistance from staff for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the corridor, locomotion on the unit, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 167's physician's orders, dated 12/14/2022, indicated an order for carvedilol 3.125 milligrams (mg-unit of measure) orally (by mouth) twice a day (BID) for a diagnosis of hypertension. Hold (do not administer) for systolic blood pressure (SBP - indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats) less than (<) 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg - unit of measurement for blood pressure) or pulse rate (PR - the number of times each minute that your heart beats) < 60 beats per minute (bpm - unit of measurement for pulse). Give with food. On 12/20/2022 at 3:56 p.m., during a medication administration observation, observed LVN 3 administer medications to Resident 167. LVN 3 administered carvedilol 3.125 mg to the resident without any food or apple sauce. On 12/22/2022 at 8:15 a.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important to follow the physician's order to take certain medications with food in order to prevent giving the resident an upset stomach. The DON stated it was important to give the resident even something small to eat, like a snack. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration - General Guidelines, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated that medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility: 1. Failed to Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) administered medications appropriately as prescribed by the physician, for one of six (Residents 5) sampled residents observed during medication pass observation. During medication pass observation, there were ten medication errors for Resident 5 for a total of ten medication errors out of 33 opportunities. These medication administration errors resulted to a medication error rate of 33.33 percent (%). 2. Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) administered carvedilol (used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure) to a resident with food, as prescribed by the physician, for one (Resident 167) out six sampled residents observed during medication administration. These deficient practices had the potential to result in inconsistent medication administration, risks of physical and chemical incompatibilities between the medications, and altered drug responses for the residents.

LVN 5 then administered the medications, with no observation of vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) taken before administering the medications. LVN 5 provided the vital signs and stated she used the vital signs taken at 7 a.m. by a certified nursing assistant. Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 5's physician orders indicated no orders for the resident to have medications crushed. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:53 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated there needs to be a doctor's order to crush and staff should contact the resident's doctor. The AIT stated for all medications that were crushed together, she would assume they would need to be separated because of possible drug interaction. The AIT stated if crushed medications are mixed with apple sauce, they would have to give all the apple sauce to get all medications. The AIT stated the resident would not get full medication if they mixed all meds and refused to take all of apple sauce, staff would not be able to accurately document what medication the resident got. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 9:29 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated crushing of medication needs a doctor's order. The DON also stated if there was no order, the doctor would not be aware and could not monitor for any interaction. The DON stated it is recommended to separately crush each medication. The DON stated if medications are not separated and they spill, or if the resident changes her mind, then staff would not be able to accurately document what medications were taken. The DON stated that LVN 5 should have taken Resident 5's vital signs especially if it has been more than 30 minutes, because vital signs can change. The DON stated there was a parameter (limit or boundary) to be followed to see if medications need to be held or given and so they need to have the most recent vital signs. The DON stated if the resident's blood pressure was low, the medication can lower it causing a negative effect on Resident 5. A review of facility's policy and procedures titled Physician Orders, last revised in 10/2022, indicated facility shall ensure that all physician orders are completely and accurately implemented, and all telephone orders are signed in a timely manner. Medication orders will include the name of the medication, dosage, frequency, and duration of order, if applicable, route, and the condition/diagnosis for which the medication is ordered. A review of facility's policy and procedures titled Medication Administration-General Guidelines, last revised 10/2022 indicated the need for crushing medications is indicated on the resident's orders and the medication administration record (MAR) so that all personnel administering medications are aware of this need and the consultant pharmacist can advise on safety issues and alternatives, if appropriate, during medication regiment reviews.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adhere to medication storage for one out of two medication storages (Taper 2 Medication Storage) observed during Medication Storage/Labeling facility task when: 1. Probiotic (supplement) medication was noted inside Taper 2 Medication Storage with no resident identifier. This deficient practice had the potential for residents to receive medications which may have become ineffective and are not intended for them which may lead to negative outcomes. 2. Wheelchair was observed stored inside Taper 2 Medication Storage. This deficient practice had the potential for cross contamination (unintentional transfer of bacteria/germs or other contaminants from one surface or substance to another) of medications inside the medication storage. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 11:39 a.m., of Taper 2 Medication Storage with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), observed a locked cabinet with probiotic medication with no name or resident identifier noted. LVN 1 verified there was no name on the probiotic. LVN 1 stated it was a probiotic brought by a family member for a resident. LVN 1 stated there should be a name so that everyone knows who it belongs to; if not, it can be thrown away or could possibly be given to the wrong resident. Also observed a wheelchair noted with label indicating taper 2. LVN 1 stated there was no other storage room for the wheelchair used for residents when they go out with family. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:53 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the probiotic in the medication storage not being labeled would require to be thrown away. The AIT stated all medications should be labeled to avoid any confusion on who the medication belonged to as it can be given to the wrong resident. The AIT stated the wheelchair in the medication storage is cleaned after every use; the AIT cannot verify or provide documentation of the wheelchair being cleaned after each use. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 9:43 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated they would be unable to verify who it belonged to as it had no name on it. The DON stated it can be given to the wrong person or would not be used by the resident. The DON also stated items including the wheelchair should not be in medication storage; the DON stated the medication storage is only for medications. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at11:43 a.m., with the Director of Education (DOE), the DOE stated that only medications should be in the medication storage. The DOE stated the concern that only licensed nurses can go into medication storage, not everyone should have access to the medication storage.

On 12/19/2022 at 4:19 p.m., during an interview, Resident 161 stated he kept getting oatmeal, coffee, and milk for breakfast, even though has repeatedly told staff he does not like those. On 12/20/2022 at 11:06 a.m., during an interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) stated the resident had oatmeal on his breakfast tray this morning, which she had to remove because the resident did not want it. On 12/21/2022 at 9:36 a.m., during an interview, Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) stated the resident had oatmeal on his breakfast tray this morning, which she removed because the resident does not like oatmeal. On 12/22/2022 at 8:02 a.m., during an interview, the Dietary Supervisor (DS) stated they interviewed residents to ask them about their food preferences. When asked if they ever went into the red zone, the DS stated no, they do not go into the red zone. The DS stated if the resident is new and in the red zone, they would not know his/her food preferences. The DS stated they would rely on the nurses in the red zone to communicate to them the resident's likes/dislikes. The DS stated no one had communicated to her that Resident 161 did not like oatmeal, coffee, or milk. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Resident Food Preferences, last reviewed on 10/2022, indicated that nutritional assessments will include an evaluation of individual food preferences. Upon the resident's admission, or within a reasonable time after his/her admission, the dietitian, dietary personnel or nursing staff will identify a resident's food preferences. When possible, this will be done by direct interview with the resident. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: 1. Provide one of two (Residents 212) sampled residents with the correct meal that accommodated her food preferences. This deficient practice had the potential to result in decreased meal intake and can lead to weight loss and malnutrition (lack of proper nutrition). 2. Ensure nurses in the red zone (an area designated for residents who test positive for coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19 - a respiratory disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2]) communicated a resident's food preferences to the dietary staff for one (Resident 161) out of two sampled residents investigated for food preferences.

A review of Resident 212's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and understand others sometimes. The MDS indicated Resident 212 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer, and toilet use. A review of Resident 212's Resident Care Plan Review dated 12/6/2022 indicated the resident's current weight on 12/3/2022 was 113 pounds (unit of measuring weight); diet was fortified, mechanical soft; and meal intakes averaged at 34 percent (%). A review of the Resident Progress Notes dated 12/8/2022, indicated Resident 212 continued to have poor intake with diet fortified upon admission as higher kilocalories (kcal-a unit of energy) would benefit resident to prevent undesired weight loss. The progress notes indicated the recommendation for Recommended ensure two times between meals, prostat (supplement) daily for wound healing. A review of diet slip (meal slip) for breakfast dated 12/23/2022 indicated Resident 212 has a preference of hard-boiled egg, banana, and yogurt plain for breakfast. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/20/2022 at 8:30 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 6), observed CNA 6 give Resident 212 her breakfast tray. Resident 212 opened the tray and stated that was not what she eats and refuses to eat it, and that was not what she likes. Resident 212 stated she usually gets hard boiled eggs. A review of the meal slip indicated it was under a different resident's name. CNA 6 verified that Resident 212 was given her roommate's tray. CNA 6 stated if Resident 212 does not get her preferred meal, the resident may not eat and can be at risk of losing weight and not getting the adequate nutrients. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 8:47 a.m., with the Administrator in Training (AIT), the AIT stated the switching of trays was a concern. The AIT stated the resident would not eat the meal and if she was on weight management, it would be a concern. If those issues happen consecutively, Resident 212 could possibly lose weight per the AIT. During an interview on 12/22/2022 at 12:11 p.m., with Dietary Technician (DT), DT stated Resident 212 receiving a switched tray can be a concern for the resident's weight as the resident may not get her needed calorie intake. A review of facility policy and procedure titled Resident Food Preferences, last revised in 10/2022, indicated nutritional assessments will include an evaluation of individual food preferences. The clinical dietician and nursing staff, assisted by the physician, will identify any nutritional issues or dietary restriction that might affect the facility's efforts to accommodate residents/patient preferences.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 safe food handling practices by failing to: Residents Affected - Some 1. Ensure kitchen staff (Dietary Aide 1 [DA 1])wore a hairnet when in the food preparation area. 2. Ensure soiled plastic lids are discarded and not placed and stored alongside clean plastic cups and clean plastic lids. 3. Ensure a vacuum packed peeled hard-boiled eggs is labeled with a best by date (indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality) or discard date. 4. Ensure the distribution of food was done under sanitary conditions for five of six resident trays when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 5) was observed taking a tray out of the meal cart (transports meals from the kitchen to the resident areas), placing it in a resident's room then taking the tray out to place back in the meal cart with trays that had not yet been passed out. These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for foodborne illness (an infection or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract [including the stomach and intestines] caused by food or beverages that contain harmful bacteria/germs, chemicals, or other organisms) with common symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea; and at risk for cross contamination (bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another with harmful effect). Findings: a. On 12/19/2022 at 8:37 a.m., during an observation and concurrent interview, in the presence of Dietary Supervisor 1 (DS 1), observed Dietary Aide 1 (DA 1) wearing a beanie while in the food dispensary room. DA 1 stated that breakfast had been served and the steamer was already turned off but there was still food on top of the steam table. According to DA 1 when food is brought up from the kitchen, it will be placed in the steamer before placing the food on styrofoam box and dispensed for serving. DA 1 stated he does not use a hair restraint or hairnet when preparing and dispensing the food but was currently using a beanie. According to DS 1, kitchen staff must wear hairnet to keep hair from falling onto the food. DS 1 checked the hairnet holder by the wall which was empty. On 12/19/2022 at 08:50 a.m., while proceeding with the kitchen observation accompanied by DS 1, observed in the hallway leading to the kitchen several boxes of plastic cups and plastic lids with one box open. Upon closer inspection, observed an open bag of plastic lids with wet brown stains on the surface of the bag. Also observed that two of the plastic lids inside the bag were wet with brown stains. According to DS 1, the plastic lids should be thrown out as they must be contaminated with bacteria from the unknown wet brown stains. Also observed in refrigerator #7 were two packs of a vacuum-sealed boiled eggs with a label preparation date 12/12/22. According to DS 1, the boiled eggs were for salads and that the shelf life (the length of time that food can be kept before it becomes too old use) was usually three days but was not sure. Per DS 1, if the hard-boiled eggs were dated 12/12/2022, they should be discarded as they were no longer safe for consumption and can potentially make the residents sick.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 12/21/2022 at 8:04 a.m., during an interview, Food Service Director (FSD) stated that the facility uses a 72-hr timeframe for determining food safety. However, it can be shorter than 72 hours for some items, as some foods do not hold for 72 hrs. FSD stated eggs are received pre-packaged and that the date observed on the container (12/12/2022) was the date that the sealed package of eggs was placed in the container and since the sealed plastic package does not have a date, therefore they were unable to verify or confirm the manufacturer's suggested use by date. According to FSD, per facility policy, the eggs would have to be used by 12/15/2022 or discarded and should not be served. FSD explained that it was an inappropriate practice for staff to wear personal items such as beanies, and they should not be wearing personal head coverings in food preparation areas. FSD stated that the employee should be wearing the facility provided hairnets as a proper hair restriction per facility policy to ensure that there is no food contamination risk. A review of the facility`s policy and procedure dated 10/2022, titled General Food Handling Practices, indicated that dietary service employees comply with time and temperature requirements and use proper food handling techniques to prevent the occurrence of foodborne illness. Under Policy Interpretation and Implementation, indicated the following, but not limited to: 1. Practice good personal hygiene; restrain hair appropriately. 2.
