Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dignity was promoted for
one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 22) when a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stood up in front of
the resident while assisting with her lunch meal.
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 22 not attaining her highest practicable physical, mental
and psychosocial well-being.
Findings: o
Resident 22 was admitted to the facility in late 2023 with diagnoses which included memory impairment
and weakness.
During a review of Resident 22's assessment titled, Functional Abilities and Goals, dated 6/25/24, the
assessment indicated, Eating: The ability to use suitable utensils to bring food and/or liquid to the mouth
.supervision or touching assistance.
During an observation on 8/5/24 at 12:50 p.m. in the facility dining room, CNA 1 assisted Resident 22
during lunch meal. CNA 1 stood up at the side of Resident 22 and put food in the resident's mouth with a
spoon. Resident 22 turned her face away and tried to push away the hands of CNA 1.
During an interview on 8/5/24 at 12:52 p.m. with CNA 1, when asked what the process for assisting the
residents with meals was, CNA 1 stated, We sit down to not hurt our back and to feed them properly. I am
aware that we should not stand up while assisting them.
During an interview on 8/5/24 at 1:10 p.m. with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1), when asked what the
process for assisting residents with meals was, RNA 1 stated, When we are feeding the residents, we are
sitting beside the resident. We are not supposed to be standing up .because the residents don't feel
comfortable, and that's for respect and dignity to the resident.
During an interview on 8/7/24 at 3:33 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), when asked what the
expectation from the CNA's or the RNA's on assisting resident with meals was, the DON stated, [CNAs and
RNAs] are supposed to be sitting down and not standing while providing assistance with feeding .I mean,
no one wants to be hovered over .it should be inappropriate to be standing in front of the resident to
maintain respect and dignity for the resident.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, dated 2/21, the P&P indicated,
Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the menu was followed for
the therapeutic diet (a modification of a regular diet, tailored to fit the nutritional needs of a particular
person normally prescribed by a physician) during the lunch meals on 8/5/24 and 8/6/2024 when:
1. Six residents (Resident 14, 20, 29, 34, 64, and 545) were on fortified (enriched with extra nutrients) diets
who did not receive extra melted butter on the vegetables;
2. Four residents (Resident 25, 31, 47 and 49) who were on small portion diets received the incorrect
portion of salmon for their meals;
3. Three residents were on Dysphagia Mechanical Soft (a modified texture diet is soft and moist for people
who has chewing or swallowing issues) texture diet when:
a. Resident 46 and 85 received the incorrect consistency for their meal; and,
b. Resident 292 received an incorrect portion of broth for her meal;
4. Resident 8 was on bite-size texture diet received ground (finely chopped) chicken instead of cut-up
cubed chicken; and,
5. The cook did not follow the recipe when preparing pureed (blended smooth) vegetables.
These failures had the potential to result in compromising the medical and nutritional status of 28 residents
for a census of 91.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 8/6/24 at 9:02 a.m., with the Food Services Director (FSD), the FSD stated that
the fortified food for lunch today was add an extra one ounce (oz., a unit of measure) of melted butter on
the bok choy (one type of leafy green vegetable).
During an observation of the meal distribution on 8/6/24, beginning at 11:26 a.m., observed [NAME] 1 (CK
1) did not pour one oz. of extra butter on six residents' (Resident 14, 20, 29, 34, 64, and 545) bok choy who
were on a fortified diet.
2. During a concurrent observation and review of the facility daily spreadsheet (a display data sheet is
indicated what food items, textures, and portions to be served for each prescribed diet) on 8/6/24 at 11:30
a.m., it indicated that small portion diets should receive two oz. of salmon. Observed CK 1 gave three oz. of
salmon for four residents (Resident 25, 31, 47 and 49) who were on small portion diets.
During an interview on 8/6/24 at 11:30 a.m., with CK 1 and the Food Services Supervisor (FSS), the FSS
and CK 1 stated that all the salmon (ginger teriyaki and baked) were 3 oz. on each serving.

Resident 3's admission record indicated she was admitted in 1/24 with diagnoses including dementia,
diabetes, and vitamin deficiency.
During a current observation, interview and record review on 8/5/24 at 12:51 p.m., with Resident 3,
Resident 3's tray ticket (a ticket including resident's diet, date, allergies, specific food and beverage items,
dislikes, likes) indicated Resident 3 should have a Healthshake (high protein supplement) and Udon
(Japanese noodles) soup with her meal. A Healthshake and Udon soup was not present with Resident 3's
meal, there was a tomato soup present. Resident 3 stated the tomato has no taste and she likes Udon soup
it's good Japanese soup . A concurrent interview with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1), RNA 1
confirmed that the Healthshake and soup weren't present.
During an interview on 8/5/24 at 1:00 p.m., with the Food Services Supervisor (FSS), the FSD also
confirmed that Resident 3 did not receive the Healthshake and Udon soup.
During an interview at 8/6/24 at 3:18 p.m., with the Registered Dietician (RD), the RD stated her
expectation is that kitchen and the staff would honor the resident's preferences.
During a record review on 8/7/24 at 12:40 p.m., titled Orders, physician's orders indicated that Resident 3
had orders for a High Protein Supplement two times a day on 1/22/24 and Japanese Udon noodle soup for
lunches and dinners on 1/31/24. A review of the Nutritional assessment dated [DATE] and completed by the
RD indicates resident is underweight with poor to fair food intake.
During a review on 8/7/24 at 12:40 p.m., Resident 3's care plan indicated Honor food preferences and
provide diet and supplements as ordered.
The facility's policy and procedure (P&P) for Residents' food preferences was requested and the facility was
not able to provide the policy.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food preferences were
honored for four of 19 sampled residents (Resident 19, Resident 47, Resident 77 and Resident 3), when:
1. Resident 19 had sausage on her meal plate and was not asked about her likes and dislike of food
choices;
2. Resident 77 had scrambled eggs on her meal plate and not asked about her likes and dislikes;
3. Resident 47 dislikes were not honored; and,
4. Resident 3 preferences were not honored.
These failures had the potential to result in meal dissatisfaction and decreased meal intake that may lead to
further compromised medical and nutrition status and/or weight loss of residents.

2. During an observation of the ice machine on 8/5/24 at 10:57 a.m., it was noted there were slimy pink and
black substances found on the ice baffle (a device that deflects ice in an ice storage bin to ensure even
distribution and prevent clogs.) upon opening the ice bin door. Those substances could be removed when
wiped with a paper towel.
Upon opening the top (machinery) part of the ice machine, the following conditions were found:
black and slimy pink substances were found on the inside of the water curtain (controls the flow of water to
help the machine produce uniform ice cubes),
black and slimy pink substances were found at the top and right and left sides of the rims of ice making
panel (a panel where the ice cubes make and push out)
significant black and slimy substances on the bottom of the evaporator unit (the unit where water freezes
into ice cubes)
All the substances were found were easily removed when wiped away with a paper towel.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper infection practices
were followed for three out of 19 sampled residents (Resident 47, Resident 63, and Resident 35) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 47's oxygen and nebulizer tubing were not dated;
2. Licensed Nurses (LN) touched multiple items after performing a bandage change on Resident 63 who
had Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, a bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics) in
his wound; and,
3. Unlabeled and undated oxygen tubing and face mask were found by Resident 35's bedside.
These failures had the potential to spread infection.
Findings:
1. Resident 47 was admitted to the facility mid-2024 with diagnoses which included cirrhosis of the liver
(damaged liver tissue), hypertension (high blood pressure), renal failure, and diabetes (uncontrolled blood
sugar).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/5/24 at 8:45 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 9, LN 9
confirmed Resident 47's oxygen and nebulizer tubing were not labeled or dated, and stated, I think all
tubing should be dated.
During an interview on 8/7/24 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated,
All tubing should be labeled and dated . I would expect someone would make sure they are labeled while
doing treatments [breathing treatment].

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure equipment was maintained
in safe operating condition when the dishwashing machine's required minimum temperatures and sanitizer
concentration levels were not reached.
Residents Affected - Many
This failure placed 89 out of 91 residents who received food from the facility kitchen at risk for food borne
illness.
Findings:
During an interview with the Dietary Aide (DA) 2 on 8/5/24, at 9:40 a.m., she stated the wash and rinse
water temperatures for the dishwashing machine should be at 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and the
concentration for the sanitizer should be 100 PPM (part per million, a unit to measure the sanitizer
concentration). The Food Service Supervisor (FSS) joined the interview and stated the dishwashing
machine was new and installed a few weeks ago, and the machine company technician gave an in-service
to some staff. FSS stated DA 2 did not get the in-service because she was on vacation.
A follow up observation, interview and record review of the dishwashing machine operation with the DA 3
and the FSS were conducted on 8/5/24, at 10:30 a.m.
Review of dishwashing machine log, it indicated the instruction stated the wash and rinse water
temperatures should be at least 120 degrees F and the sanitizer concentration should be between in a
range of 50-100 PPM. The log also indicated the recorded wash temperature was 124 degrees F and rinse
water temperature was 123 degrees F, and the sanitizer concentration was 100 PPM on 8/5/24 at the
breakfast time.
An observation of DA 3 demonstrated to operate the dishwashing machine and observed the temperature
gauge (a device for measuring the temperature attached to the dishwashing machine to monitor the
temperatures during the washing and rinsing cycles) for wash and rinse water temperatures which did not
reach 120 degrees F respectively. DA 3 used the test strip to test the concentration of the sanitizer but the
strip did not have color change which indicated no sanitizer detected. DA 3 stated she started working at
5:30 a.m. and started the machine and it was functioning well. The FSS verified and reviewed the
temperature gauge and confirmed the wash and rinse water temperatures did not reach 120 degrees F. The
FSS tested the sanitizer concentration again and the test strip still did not change color. She stated the
dishwashing machine worked fine earlier. The FSS stated to stop using the dishwashing machine and
started using manual dishwashing with the three-compartment sink. She also added she would call the
company to check the machine.
During a follow up check of the dishwashing machine on 8/5/24, at 11:45 a.m., the surveyor's thermometer
was placed inside one of the dishwashing cycles during dishwashing and holding thermometer indicated a
temperature of 102 degrees F at the plate level.
During an interview with the dishwashing machine company technician (DMCT) on 8/5/24, at 1:45 p.m., he
stated it was possible the hot water pressure was not enough to let the dishwashing machine to reach the
required temperature when the whole facility was using hot water at the same time. He stated the staff
needed to prime (the process to remove the bubbles) the tubing of the sanitizer if there was none detected
on the test strip.

During a follow up interview with the Food Service Director (FSD) on 8/6/24, at 10:35 a.m., she stated the
dishwashing machine was tested a few times in the morning at 5:30 a.m. and the water temperatures still
did not reach 120 degrees F.
A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Dishwashing Machine Use, revised 3/2010, it showed,
.the operator will monitor the gauge frequently during dishwashing machine cycle. Inadequate temperatures
will be reported to the supervisor and corrected immediately .If chemical sanitation concentrations do not
meet requirements, cease use of dishwashing machine immediately until the PPM are adjusted .
According to Federal Drug and Administration (FDA) Food Code 2022, Section 4-204.115 Warewashing
Machines, Temperature Measuring Devices, it showed, The requirement for the presence of a temperature
measuring device in each tank of the warewashing machine is based on the importance of temperature in
the sanitization step. In hot water machines, it is critical that minimum temperatures be met at the various
cycles so that the cumulative effect of successively rising temperatures causes the surface of the item
being washed to reach the required temperature for sanitization. When chemical sanitizers are used,
specific minimum temperatures must be met because the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers is directly
affected by the temperature of the solution.
In addition, on Section 4-204.117, Warewashing Machines, Automatic Dispensing of Detergents and
Sanitizers, it showed, The presence of adequate detergents and sanitizers is necessary to effect clean and
sanitized utensils and equipment. The automatic dispensing of these chemical agents, plus a method such
as a flow indicator, flashing light, buzzer, or visible open air delivery system that alerts the operator that the
chemicals are no longer being dispensed, ensures that utensils are subjected to an efficacious cleaning
and sanitizing regimen.

Ensure nurse aides have the skills they need to care for residents, and give nurse aides education in
dementia care and abuse prevention.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the required in-service
training and competency in skills and techniques for seven out of seven sampled facility employed Certified
Nursing Assistants (CNAs; CNA 7, CNA 8, CNA 9, CNA 10, CNA 11, CNA 12, and CNA 13) and two out of
two Contracted Certified Nursing Assistants (CCNA; CCNA 14 and CCNA 15), when:
1. Four of seven CNAs (CNA 8, CNA 9, CNA 10, and CNA 11) and one of two CCNAs (CCNA 14) had no
abuse prevention training. Two out of seven CNAs (CNA 7 and CNA 13) and two out of two CCNAs (CCNA
14 and CCNA 15) had no dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and
reasoning - to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities) management training.
These failures had the potential to result in CNAs and CCNAs not identifying and reporting abuse nor being
able to provide effective and competent care for residents.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/6/24 at 5:10 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON confirmed she could not find the missing training documentation to support the abuse
prevention or dementia management training for the CNAs and CCNAs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/6/24 at 5:25 p.m. with the Clinical Compliance Nurse
(CCN), the CCN stated, The facility used contracted staff through a staffing agency, and the contracted
nursing staffing agency was expected to provide CCNAs with mandatory training documentation to the
facility to review before scheduling the CCNAs to perform resident care. The CCN stated, I will check with
the regional office and get back to you. The CCN did not provide the requested information.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/7/24 at 9:25 a.m. with the Administrator (ADM), the
ADM stated, After reviewing the CCNAs personnel records, I could not find any abuse prevention or
dementia management mandatory training documentation for 2024. The ADM stated, If the abuse
prevention or dementia management and the required in-services were not completed annually, the staff
skills and competency could be decreased, which could affect the CNA's competency in providing care for
the residents.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Competency of Nursing Staff, revised
10/17, the P&P indicated, All nursing staff .requirements defined by State law .participate in a
facility-specific, competency-based staff development and training program; and demonstrate specific
competencies and skill sets .Competency in skills and techniques .preventing abuse, neglect and
exploitation .dementia management .conducted upon hire, annually .
