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 staff failed to close the privacy curtains
around one (Resident 14) of 14 sampled residents' beds during care provision. This failure resulted in the
exposure of Resident 14's genitals to her roommate, and passers-by in the hallway.
This failure had the potential to result in emotional distress for Resident 14.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 14's, admission Record, on 2/25/2020, the Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 14 in 2018, with included diagnoses of generalized muscle weakness, with paralysis of
the right side. The Record also indicated Resident 14 had a responsible party for healthcare decisions.
During a review of Resident 14's, Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated
9/28/18, the MDS indicated Resident 14 was totally dependent on assistance from one person for bed
mobility, eating, toileting and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 14 was non-English speaking,
and was severely impaired in the ability of daily decision-making.
During an observation on 2/25/2020, at 8:20 a.m., in the facility hallway, three certified nursing assistants
transported Resident 14 in a Hoyer lift (a mechanical device used to transfer residents from one surface to
another) from the shower room to her shared, two-bed room across the hall from the shower. Resident 14's
roommate was in her own bed. Resident 14 entered her room and the certified nursing assistants prepared
to transfer Resident 14 to her bed with the privacy curtains around Resident 14's bed open. Resident 14 sat
in the Hoyer lift, with her genitals visible to both the roommate, and hallway occupants, and yelled.
During an interview on 2/25/2020, at 8:20 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3), CNA 3
confirmed she had participated in the transfer of Resident 14, and that the privacy curtains had been left
open while Resident 14 sat in the Hoyer lift.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P & P) titled, Quality of Life - Dignity, dated 2009, the P
& P indicated, Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life,
dignity, respect and individuality. Staff shall promote, maintain and protect resident privacy, including bodily
privacy during assistance with personal care and during treatment procedures.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, facility staff failed to fully inform the responsible party
(RP) of the current dental health status of one of 13 sampled residents (Resident 25).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 25 developing an oral infection or gum disease, which
could negatively impact her general health.
Findings:
During a record review on 2/25/20 of Resident 25's admission Record, printed 2/25/2020, the admission
Record indicated Resident had an original admission date in 2008. The Record indicated Resident 25 had
diagnoses which included generalized muscle weakness, and brain damage. The Record also indicated
Resident 25 had a responsible party for healthcare decisions.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated
10/26/19, the MDS indicated Resident 25 had severe impairment of her ability for daily decision making,
and was totally dependent on assistance from one person for eating, toileting, and hygiene.
During a review of Resident 25's care plan for oral/dental health concerns, undated, the care plan indicated
an intervention of resident compliance with mouth care, with a goal of Resident 25 showing no signs of
infection, pain, or bleeding in the mouth.
During a review of Resident 25's care plan for intellectual disability, undated, the care plan intervention
indicated, discuss with resident/resident and family any concerns, fears, issues regarding diagnosis or
treatments. The care plan goal indicated, The resident/family/caregiver will be able to verbalize an
understanding of the condition and the importance of compliance with the treatment program.
During a review of Resident 25's records titled, Dental Visit, dated 2/12/19, the Dental Visit indicated, for an
attempted dental cleaning, Patient combative-refused. The Dental Visits records dated 3/12/19, and
6/11/19, indicated Resident 25 refused cleaning on both occasions.
During an observation on 2/25/2020, at 10:37 a.m., in Resident 25's room, Resident 25 was in her bed;
Resident 25's teeth were brown and caked with debris.
During an interview 2/25/2020, at 11:08 a.m., and 11:47 a.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), the
SSD stated Resident 25 had a court-appointed responsible party (RP). SSD stated the RP had to be
informed and give approval for any special procedures or treatments needed by Resident 25. The SSD
stated Resident 25 had been receiving dental cleanings at her bedside, but the dentist had told her
Resident 25 needed a deeper cleaning than was possible to deliver at the bedside.
During an interview on 2/25/2020, at 1:10 p.m., the RP stated she had been aware of Resident 25's poor
dental hygiene, but had been told Resident 25 was receiving special mouth rinses and bedside dental care
to provide the needed services. RP stated she had never been informed, either during her last visit on
1/8/2020, or by telephone, that Resident 25 had been refusing bedside dental care and needed special
dental cleaning only available outside the facility.

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** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the correct documentation for refusal of treatment
was present in the medical record of one of eight sampled residents (Resident 46).
The facility failure to change the medical record, to reflect a change in the status of Resident 46's wishes
for treatment in the event of a medical emergency, had the potential to result in the undesired life sustaining
treatment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. (CPR, an emergency procedure that combines chest
compressions with artificial ventilation (mouth to mouth breathing, or assisted breathing through a tube
inserted into the throat.)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 46's Social Work Progress Notes, dated [DATE], the Notes indicated Resident
46 had been re-admitted from an acute care hospital with included diagnoses of dementia (a progressive
deterioration of the brain functions affecting the abilities to remember, think clearly, communicate, and
perform daily activities), and kidney failure.
During a review of Resident 46's medical record on [DATE], at 8:55 a.m., the record contained a form titled,
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment, (POLST, a portable medical order form that records
patients' treatment wishes so that emergency personnel knows what treatment the patient wants in the
event of a medical emergency), dated [DATE]. The POLST indicated Resident 46 was to have CPR if the
resident had no pulse and was not breathing and was to receive full treatment to prolong life by all
medically effective means.
During a review of the Physician's Orders, dated [DATE], the Physician's Orders indicated, Resident 46 was
admitted with a primary diagnosis of dementia, to [company] Hospice Services. (Hospice services are
provided for a person with a terminal illness whose doctor believes he or she has 6 months or less to live if
the illness runs its natural course.)
During a review of the [company] Hospice Care Services form (Hospice Form), dated [DATE], the Hospice
Form indicated Resident 46 was not to receive CPR, but only receive comfort care.
During a review of Resident 46's Social Work Progress Notes, dated [DATE], the Notes indicated Resident
49 was admitted into hospice care. The Notes indicated Resident 46's responsible party (a person who
makes decisions regarding the resident's care in the facility when the resident is unable to make decisions)
had signed the hospice admission agreement, and the facility would work with the hospice team to achieve
a goal of comfort-directed care.
During an interview, and concurrent record review, on [DATE] at 10:10 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), and Social Services Director, the DON stated a licensed nurse was required to follow the POLST in
the medical record when a resident needed life sustaining treatments. DON confirmed the POLST currently
in the medical record for Resident 46 indicated Resident 46 should receive CPR, in the event her heart or
lungs stopped.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P & P) titled, Emergency Procedure Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, dated [DATE], the P & P indicated, If an individual .is found unresponsive

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide notification of the need to
alter the dietary treatment for one of 14 residents (Resident 100).
Residents Affected - Few
The failure to inform the physician of Resident 100's refusal, for four days, to complete the infusion of the
ordered liquid tube feeding (provision of nutrition and hydration through a tube inserted into the stomach,
for residents unable to orally ingest sufficient quantities to support daily needs), had the potential to result
in weight loss, body chemistry imbalance, and negatively impact general health status.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 100's admission Record, printed 2/24/2020, the admission Record indicated
Resident 100 was admitted to the facility the previous week, with an included diagnosis of difficulty
swallowing. The admission Record indicated Resident 100 was her own responsible party.
During a review of Resident 100's Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 2/20/2020, the MRR indicated
Resident 100 had a physician order dated 2/19/2020 for Resident 100 to receive a daily volume of 1000
milliliters (ml) of a liquid nutrition formula at a rate of 50 ml per hour.
During a review of Resident 100's Total Intake and Output Record (I & O), the I & O indicated Resident 100
received the following volumes of liquid nutrition by a tube feeding: 2/20/2020 equaled 440 ml; 2/21/2020
equaled 440 ml; 2/22/2020 equaled 400 ml; 2/21/2020 equaled 800 ml; 2/23/2020 equaled 620 ml.
During an observation and concurrent interview, on 2/25/2020, at 8:03 a.m., with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 100's tube feeding was turned off. LVN 2 stated Resident 100's tube feeding was
turned off because the resident refused to receive the tube feeding.
During an interview on 2/25/20 at 8:15 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated on
2/23/2020, she had tried to administer the tube feeding to Resident 100, but Resident 100 had refused the
tube feeding. LVN 3 stated Resident 100 had only allowed her to administer the tube feeding for two hours,
last night (2/25/2020) between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m., before Resident 100 had refused the tube feeding.
During a review of Resident 100's Nursing Care Notes, the Notes indicated nursing staff documented
Resident 100 refused tube feedings on the following occasions: 2/23/2020, during the day shift (7 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. shift); 2/23/2020, during the evening shift (3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.); 2/23/2020 night shift (11 p.m. on
2/23/2020 to 7 a.m. 2/24/2020); 2/24/2020 day shift; 2/24/2020 night shift. The Notes had no indication the
physician was notified of these tube feeding refusals.
During an interview on 2/25/20, at 8:25 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the tube
feeding refusals were not reported during the daily nursing meetings, or reported to the physician.

Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record reviews, the facility used bed rails and a position change alarm
(bed alarm) for the convenience of staff, to prevent one of 13 residents (Resident 48) from voluntarily
leaving his bed, and failed to re-evaluate the ongoing need for use of the restraining devices. This failure
resulted in psychological and emotional distress for Resident 48, who was afraid to move around in bed,
and had the potential to result in injury if he became entangled in the bed rails, or attempted to climb over
the bed rails.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a review of Resident 48's admission Record, printed 2/25/2020, the admission Record indicated an
admission date in January 2019, with included diagnoses of hemiplegia (paralysis of the right side of his
body), and generalized muscle weakness. The admission Record indicated Resident 48 had a responsible
party (RP) for healthcare decisions.
During a review of the Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool used to guide care),
dated 1/18/2020, the MDS indicated Resident 48 could understand others, and was understood by others,
with moderate impairment of memory and thinking skills. The MDS indicated Resident 48 had no history of
falling, but was unsteady, and required assistance from one person when transferring between surfaces,
moving in bed, and ambulating. The MDS also indicated Resident 48 used either a walker, or wheelchair for
ambulation.
During a review of Resident 48's, Incident/Accident Report, dated 2/13/2020, the Report indicated a
certified nursing assistant found Resident 48 on the floor on his right side. The Report indicated Resident
48 told the certified nursing assistant that he had gotten out of bed and fell. Resident 48 had an abrasion on
his right elbow, but denied hitting his head.
During a review of Resident 48's nurses' notes dated 2/14/2020, the notes indicated Resident 48 went to
the acute care hospital for evaluation after he developed a persistent headache. During a review of
Resident 48's nurses' notes dated 2/16/2020, the notes indicated Resident 48 returned to the facility from
the acute care hospital with no new orders.
During a review of the care plan titled, Fall Risk-Actual Fall, dated 2/13/2020, the care plan indicated
interventions included reminding the resident to call for assistance, and bed alarm intact and working
properly to alert when resident trying [to] get out bed unassisted.
During a review of Resident 48's, Post Fall Assessment, dated 2/13/20, indicated a bed alarm was in place,
and functioning well, to alert staff when Resident 48 tried to get out of bed unassisted.
During a review of Resident 48's physician orders dated 2/18/2020, the physician ordered use of a bed
alarm for Resident 48.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/24/2020, at 10:08 a.m., with Resident 48, in his room.
Resident 48 was in bed, flat on his back, watching television. Both sides of the bed had side rails elevated
above the bed, along the length of the bed; a bed alarm was in place. Resident 48 stated he had fallen
when he had gotten out of bed by himself to get something from his bedside table. He stated he had
developed a headache after the fall, so he had gone to the hospital. Resident 48

they can hear me when I move. I just watch TV, and try not to move so it [bed alarm] does not make noise.
During an observation and interview on 2/26/2020, at 8:26 a.m., with Resident 48 and Certified Nurse
Assistant (CNA 2), in Resident 48's room, Resident 48 was in bed, on his back, with both side rails up.
Resident 48 told CNA 2 he was not comfortable with the bed alarm. CNA 2 stated the bed alarm, and side
rails were used to alert staff, because resident (Resident 48) was a fall risk, and had a tendency to get out
of bed by himself.
During an interview on 2/24/20, at 10:58 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), in the facility's
conference room, DON stated Resident 48's bed alarm was initiated after his fall on 2/13/2020, to alert staff
when Resident 48 tried to get out of bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/27/2020, at 8:56 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
Supervisor (LVN 1) in Resident 48's room, Resident 48 was in bed with both side rails up. LVN 1 stated the
bed rails were used to enable Resident 48 to move in bed more easily. LVN 1 asked Resident 48 to
demonstrate how the bed rails enabled him to move in bed, but Resident 48 was unable to grab and hold
onto the right hand side rail due to his right sided weakness.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/26/2020, at 10:06 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON was unable to provide evidence of any evaluation process demonstrating the need for the
continued use of Resident 48's bed alarm or side rails.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (PNP), Use of Restraints, revised 12/2007, the PNP
indicated, Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s) and never for discipline
or staff convenience, or for the prevention of falls .'Physical restraints' are defined as any manual method or
physical or mechanical device, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the
individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to one's
body .Practices that inappropriately utilize equipment to prevent resident mobility are considered restraints
and are not permitted, including: using bedrails to keep a resident from voluntarily getting out of bed as
opposed to enhancing mobility while in bed .Restraints shall only be used upon the written order of a
physician and after obtaining consent from the resident and/or representative (sponsor). The order all
include the following: the specific reason for the restrant (as it relates to the resident's medical symptoms);
how the restraint will be used to benefit the resident's medical symptom; and the type of restraint, and
period of time for the use of the restraint. Orders for restraints will not be enforced for long than twelve (12)
hours, unless the resident's condition requires continued treatment. Reorders are issued only after a review
of the resident's condition by his or her physician.

1. Resident 7's need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADL, the activities of dressing, eating,
hygiene, toileting, mobility, ambulation, and bathing), and use of psychotropic medications (medication used
to modify mental and/or emotional states).
2. Resident 32's need for assistance with ADLs, and use of psychotropic medications.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in Resident 7 and Resident 32 not receiving the
appropriate medical interventions necessary to meet the residents' nursing care needs.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, printed February 26, 2020, the admission Record
indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in July 2019 with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's
Disease (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily
activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care), dated
2/20/20, the MDS indicated Resident 7 had severely impaired memory and thinking abilities, and required
limited to extensive assist with ADLs.
During a review of Resident 7's Medication Review Report, dated 2/1/2020-2/29/2020, the Medication
Review Report indicated Resident 7 had a physician order, dated 9/26/19, for 75 milligrams (mg) of
Seroquel, once a day, at bedtime, for depression, and an order dated 2/15/20, for 1 mg Ativan, every six
hours when needed for anxiety.
2. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, printed February 26, 2020, the admission Record
indicated Resident 32 was admitted to the facility in April 2019, with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's
Disease.
During a review of Resident 32's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 32 had severely impaired
memory and thinking abilities, and required extensive assistance from at least one person for all ADLs.
During a review of Resident 32's Medication Review Report, dated 2/1/2020-2/29/2020, the Medication
Review Report indicated Resident 32 had a physician order, dated 4/19/19, for 3 mgs of Risperdal, twice a
day, for depression, and an order dated 10/3/19, for 0.5 mgs Ativan, three times a day, for anxiety.
During an interview on 2/26/20, at 9:33 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), MDSC stated, there were
no care plans to address the needs of Resident 7 and Resident 32's ADLs. The MDSC stated care plan
meetings were held at least quarterly for each resident, but Resident 7 and Resident 32's care plans for
need for assistance with ADLs, were unintentionally missed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed policy and
procedures for hand hygiene for seven of 14 sampled residents (Residents 26, 35, 18, 30, 101, 2, and 49).
The failure of Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA) to perform required hand hygiene during the passing and
setting up of the residents' lunch trays had the potential to result in illness, and the spread of illness for
Residents 26, 35, 18, 30, 101, 2, and 49.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During a continuous observation on 2/24/2020, at 12:10 p.m., in the dining area, CNA 1 pushed the lunch
tray cart into the dining area, and without performing hand hygiene (HH), picked up a lunch tray, delivered it
to Resident 26, and removed the plate cover. CNA 1 returned to the meal cart, and without performing HH,
picked up a lunch tray, delivered it to Resident 35, and removed the plate cover. CNA 1 returned to the tray
cart, and without performing HH, picked up a lunch tray, and delivered it to Resident 18. CNA 1 removed
Resident 18's plate cover, and the covers for the milk and water glasses. Without performing HH, CNA 1
went to the tray cart, picked up a lunch tray, delivered it to Resident 30, and took off the plate cover.
Registered Dietician arrived in the dining area. Without performing HH, CNA 1 went to the tray cart, bent
down, with one hands on her knee and the other on the lower part of the tray cart. CNA removed a lunch
tray from the cart, delivered it to Resident 101, took off the plate cover, and sliced the vegetables for
Resident 101. Without performing HH, CNA 1 went to the tray cart, picked up a lunch tray, delivered it to
Resident 2, and removed the covers from the plate, and milk glass. Without performing HH, CNA 1 went to
the tray cart which held consumed meal trays, and touched the plate cover from a consumed meal plate.
Without performing HH, CNA 1 went to the kitchen, received a meal tray, delivered it to Resident 49, and
removed the plate cover.
During an interview on 2/24/2020 at 1:18 p.m., CNA 1 stated there had been no sanitizer in the dining area,
so she had not performed HH between serving of the residents' lunch trays.
During an interview on 2/24/2020 at 1:45 p.m., Registered Dietician (RD) stated she had observed CNA 1

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0912
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
Residents Affected - Some
Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility had two resident rooms (room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM
NUMBER]) with two beds each that provided less than 80 square (sq.) feet (ft.) per resident who occupied
these rooms.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate space for the delivery of care to each of the
residents in each room, or for storage of the resident belongings.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/25/20 at 10:30 a.m., the following rooms and corresponding square footage per
bed were identified:
Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] (two-bed room) was 11 ft. by 14.5 ft. Each resident's personal space was
70.08 sq. ft.
Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] (two-bed room) was 10.8 ft. by 14.4 ft. Each resident's personal space
was 70.56 sq. ft.
During random observations of care and services from 2/24/20-2/27/20, there was sufficient space for the
provision of care for the residents in room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]. There was no
heavy equipment kept in the rooms that might interfere with resident care and each resident had adequate
personal space and privacy. There were no complaints from the residents regarding insufficient space for
their belongings. There were no negative consequences attributed to the decreased space and/or safety
concerns in the two rooms. Granting of room-size waiver recommended.
