F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the care plan was developed and revised to reflect the current status of the resident for three of four sampled residents (Residents 51, 57 and 157) when: 1. Resident 51's care plan was not revised to include a rash. 2. Resident 57's care plan was not revised to include skin breakdown. 3. Resident 157's care plan was not revised to include comfort care. These failures had the potential to result in the residents' needs not being identified, and resident's feeling depressed with poor self-esteem, and had the potential for the residents to acquire new pressure ulcers and/or worsen current pressure ulcers, infection, and negatively impact their ability to attain or maintain their highest practicable level of well-being. Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, dated 8/19/18, the P&P indicated, 1. Baseline Care Plans will be initiated within 4 hours of admission and no later than 48 hours of admission. 2. Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans will be developed with in 7 days after the completion of the required MDS and no more than 21 dys after admission. 3. All SNF care plans will be reviewed and or revised by the licensed nurse: with every Weekly Summary; new order; and any change in condition. 1. During a review of Resident 51's clinical record, Resident 51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia with agitation (memory loss), back pain, long term drug therapy, and major depression. A review of Resident 51's most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment) dated 12/6/24, indicated Resident 51 had severely impaired cognition (significant trouble with their thinking, memory, and ability to make decisions). During a record review of Resident 51's, Skin & Wound Evaluation, dated 4/30/25, the Skin & Wound Evaluation indicated that Resident 51 had a rash on the right ankle.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 1. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 11:19 a.m., the stainless-steel prep area had a small painted wood ledge with dried food debris, dried fluid debris and hair, and chipped paint, with wood exposed. The painted wood legs were with chipped, worn paint. The sealant between the stainless steel counter-top and abutted stainless steel counter-top (creates an L-shaped stainless steel counter-top) had dirty build-up and was stained. Dietary Supervisor (DS) confirmed these issues can be an infection control issue. 2. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 11:20 a.m., a large metal mixer was noted to have chipped paint. DS confirmed this is a potential infection control issue because bacteria and food could get lodged between the metal and chipped paint. 3. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 11:20 a.m., the walk-in freezer was noted to have ice build-up at the back of the condenser, on the condenser pipe, on the fan guard, on the ceiling, and on the floor. The DS stated she does inventory and cleaning of the freezer everything Tuesday and Wednesday. She indicated she cleans up the ice on Tuesdays. DS confirmed the danger of slipping and falling, and a possible malfunction of the unit, which could create an infection control issue. 4. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 11:23 a.m., an observation of the coffee station noted the laminate edges of the top counter were chipped or missing, and uncleanable. The body and doors of the wood cabinet had edges and sides with chipped, worn paint.

During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 11:24 a.m., an observation of two muffin tins, two cake pans, one large pot, and six out of eight sheet pans had burnt-on food present.

DM confirmed the potential infection control issue. 10. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/7/25 at 8:22 a.m., an observation of the kitchen and dishwashing room walls noted grimy, dark areas, streaks, and old repairs. DM indicated the kitchen and dishwashing room have not been painted in years and the build-up of grime can potentially be an infection control issue. 11. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/7/25 at 8:35 a.m., an observation of the dry storage entryway noted peeling paint in three spots. DM confirmed peeling paint could cause an infection control issue. 12.

During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/7/25 at 11:26 a.m., an observation of the dividing wall of the dishwashing area and kitchen had two broken perimeter tiles. DM confirmed that bacteria and insects could be harbored, proper cleaning is not possible and can cause an infection control issue. 15.
