Allow resident to participate in the development and implementation of his or her person-centered plan of
care.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, record and policy review, the facility failed to include one of two residents (Resident 101) in two
quarterly care plan meetings. This failure resulted in the potential for Resident 101 to receive
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) when her wishes were not to receive this treatment.
Findings:
Record review of Resident 101's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] for diabetes and
kidney disease. Resident 101 was alert and oriented and her Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-a
screening tool used to assist with identifying a resident's current cognition) score was 15 indicating she had
intact cognitive response (able to think and reason). Resident 101 made her own decisions about her
health care. Her signed, [DATE], Physicians Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) indicated she
wanted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
During an interview on [DATE], at 10:55 AM with Resident 101, she verbalized that she had not had a
discussion with a staff member about what her discharge plans were or about her care plan. She indicated
that she spoke one time with someone about her plan of care but that was in the beginning of her stay.
Resident 101 stated that her wishes at the present time were not to be resuscitated if her heart and
breathing stopped.
During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE], at 12:23 PM, with Minimum Data Set/ Infection
Preventionist (MDS/IP) Coordinator, MDS/IP coordinator indicated, she discussed resident's wishes for
CPR during quarterly assessment meetings. Residents would sign the hard copy of the quarterly
assessment notes to confirm their attendance at the meeting. MDS/IP coordinator indicated she had
quarterly meetings with Resident 101 on [DATE] and [DATE] and discussed Resident 101's CPR wishes.
Both meeting notes indicated Resident 101 wanted CPR to be initiated. When the coordinator was asked to
show Resident 101's confirming signature for the [DATE] meeting notes, the coordinator acknowledged that
the meeting had not actually occurred. The MDS/IP coordinator was not able to provide the [DATE]
quarterly assessment meeting notes to confirm Resident 101 was at that meeting. MDS/IP was unable to
confirm when she last spoke with Resident 101 about her CPR wishes.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Procedure for Advanced Directive revised
[DATE], the P&P indicated, The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) shall review the resident's AHCD (advanced
health care decision) or life sustaining measures prior to the quarterly care plan conference. If there was a
change in the resident's status or desires the physician shall be notified to reassess the resident.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation and interview, this requirement was not met when the facility failed to provide a
sanitary environment for 18 of 53 sampled residents who used the shower near Nursing Station 1 (NS1),
when the facility failed to clean a shower room between residents.
Findings:
In an interview on 5/4/2021, at 8:15 AM., Resident #20 stated, The shower room on station 1 is filthy. I
almost don't want to put my feet on the ground in there. There is dirt on the floor and the curtains are filthy. I
don't even consider myself clean when I come out. I've seen some of the other residents and I don't want to
get infections from them.
On 5/5/2021 at 8:30 AM the shower room on NS1 was observed to have dirty tile, shoe prints on floor, a
plastic medicine cup and bits of plastic wrap, and drains clogged with debris and hair.
In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:16 AM, Housekeeping (HK) confirmed that she was responsible for
cleaning the shower room once each day, in the afternoon, and that it was expected that CNAs would clean
in between residents.
In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:28 AM, Rehabilitation Assistant (RH) stated, Showers are cleaned after
each shower by the last person who assisted with a shower.
In an interview on 05/05/2021 at 11:12 AM, Registered Nurse (RN B) stated, Showers are given right after
breakfast. The showers should be cleaned after each resident is finished, and all personal belongings
collected
In an observation of the shower room on NS1 on 5/5/2021 at 11:14 AM, the shower room still appeared not
to have been cleaned. The medicine cup, hair and plastic were still observed in shower drains, and dirty
footprints were on the floor.
In an observation on 5/6/2021 at 08:15 AM, the shower room on NS1 contained a dirty shower chair soiled
with a brown substance. A similar substance appeared to be on the floor of the shower. The Director of
Nursing (DON) confirmed the substance to be feces, stating, This is unacceptable and should not be this
way. CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) are supposed to clean between residents' showers.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to monitor and update care plan interventions for
effectiveness and modify them to prevent future falls for two of three residents(Resident 26, and 66).
This failure resulted in Resident 26 and Resident 66 having falls with injuries including falls with a fracture
and falls with head injuries.
Findings:
Resident 26's admission record indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses of dementia and fracture of right femur. Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS)(a clinical
assessment of a resident's functional capabilities and health needs), dated 1/30/2021, indicated that she
needed extensive assistance with transfers, walking and toilet use. She scored a 15 on her Brief Interview
for Mental Status(BIMS)(A structured evaluation aimed at evaluating a resident's processes involved in
gaining knowledge and comprehension) which indicated she was cognitively intact.
A review of Resident 26's interdisciplinary progress notes (IPN) dated from 8/28/2020 to 4/18/2020
indicated she had seven falls.
-On 8/28/2020, she had an unwitnessed fall at 4:31 AM, and sustained a right femur distal fracture.
-On 11/3/2020, she had an unwitnessed fall at 7:50 AM, and received a minor injury. Care plan
Interventions included; Monitor her neurological signs per facility protocol, provide treatment if
needed/ordered, observe and report any change in level of consciousness (LOC) or range of motion (ROM)
or complaint of (c/o) new or abnormal pain. Notify MD and family of fall. Ensure that call light is within easy
reach and provide non-skid footwear if necessary.
-On 11/24/2020, she had an unwitnessed fall at 3:25 AM, and sustained a skin tear to right elbow. Care
plan interventions were the same as above.
-On 1/15/2021, she had an unwitnessed fall at 6:50 AM, and sustained a skin tear to her right elbow. Care
plan interventions were the same as above.
-On 1/21/2021, she had an witnessed fall at 7:45 AM, and hit the back of her head. Care plan interventions
were the same as above.
-On 3/13/2021, she had an unwitnessed fall at 9:25 PM, due to self ambulating to turn the TV on in her
room. Care plan interventions were the same as above.
-On 4/18/2021, she had a witnessed fall at 10:49 AM, during toileting. She lost her balance during a staff
assisted transfer and was unable to get hold of the bathroom bars. She sustained a skin tear to her right
elbow and a small bump on the back of her head. Care plan interventions were the same as above.

Residents Affected - Some
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) H, in Resident 26's room, Resident 26 was observed in bed, her slippers
were next to her bed. There was a large colorful note on the wall that was unreadable because it was
covered with cards and a calendar. Resident 26's wheel chair (w/c) was unlocked next to her bed. An
automatic w/c anti-rollback device (a device that as the resident gets up, a pair of brake arms instantly grab
the tires to prevent the chair from rolling backwards. The chair remains locked while the resident is out of
the chair. They are used to prevent falls) was attached to Resident 26's w/c. This intervention was not on
her care plan. The anti-rollback brake arms were not firmly attached to the wheels. LVN H pushed the w/c to
demonstrate the device's function and the chair moved easily when it should have been locked. LVN H
agreed that the anti-rollback device was not working correctly, because the w/c should not move when the
resident was not in the chair. LVN H stated Resident 26 was not suppose to take herself to the bathroom
but sometimes she did not use her call light and she would go to the bathroom by herself. LVN H pointed to
a sign on the wall. The sign was covered up. She then uncovered the sign on the wall and it displayed the
words [Resident 26's name] wait for help. She agreed that the sign was covered with a calendar and cards,
and that Resident 26 could not read the sign because it was covered.
During an interview on 5/6/2021, at 9:58 AM, with certified nurse assistant (CNA) T, she indicated that
Resident 26 was a fall risk because she had fallen a few times. She said Resident 26 would fall at night in
the bathroom when she would go by herself. CNA T indicated that last month she was assisting Resident
26 to the bathroom and Resident 26 fell. CNA T explained that she wheeled Resident 26 into the bathroom.
Resident 26 held on to the grab bar next to the toilet and stood up. CNA T moved the w/c away from the
Resident. Resident 26 then put her hand on the commode arm support and the commode tipped over.
Resident 26 lost her balance and fell to the ground scratching her elbow and hitting her head. CNA T
confirmed she was not close enough to Resident 26 to support her. No gait belt was used. CNA T was not
aware of any new interventions that had been implemented since that fall. CNA T confirmed that Resident
26's anti-rollback device was not working and that it put her at risk for falls.
During an interview on 5/06/2021, at 10:48 AM, with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), she
recommended that staff should use a gait belt when assisting residents with transfers. The DOR indicated
that Resident 26 should be transferred with a gait belt.
An interview on 5/6/2021, at 11:15 AM, with Director of Nursing (DON) and Director of Staff Development
(DSD) confirmed that Resident 26's care plan had not been updated to reflect interventions for a gait belt
with transfers and an anti-rollback device on her w/c.
A review of Resident 66's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included a fracture of her right femur. Her MDS dated [DATE], section C indicated her BIM's score was 14,
indicating her cognition was intact. Section G of the MDS indicated she needed limited assistance with the
assistance of one staff for transferring, walking and toileting. She used a walker and w/c for locomotion.
Section D recorded she was at risk for falls related to advanced age, decreased mobility, history of falls,
impaired balance and muscle weakness. Section H recorded no bowel and bladder training.
A review of Resident 66's interdisciplinary progress notes dated from 8/9/2020 thru 4/9/2021 indicated that
she had 5 unwitnessed falls.
-8/9/2020 she had an unwitnessed fall with a skin tear to her left shoulder. Interventions included reminding
her to use the call light if she needed assistance.

was observed in her bed. She had bruises on her forehead and under her eyes. She was barefoot. She
stated she wore nothing on her feet at night. In the winter time she wore sticky socks. She described the
socks they gave her as slippers. She stated she had to ask for socks if she wanted to wear them because
they did not ask her. Her call light was clipped on her sheets up near the top of her bed. She sat up and
reached her arm back to feel for her call light. She could not find it or reach it. She stated that once in a
while I cannot get it with my arm backwards. She had an anti-rollback device on her w/c, but her w/c rolled
forward and backwards when she was not in it. There was not a non-skid mat on top of her cushion in her
w/c.

interventions after the above mentioned falls.
During an interview on 5/6/2021, at 10:30 AM, with MDS/IP, MDS/IP stated that the interdisciplinary team
(IDT) (a group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the
goals of their residents) had meetings to discuss falls and the care plan would get updated. MDS/IP stated
IDT meetings were hit-and-miss since COVID. I can't tell you 100% if IDT meetings happened.
During an interview on 5/6/2021, at 11:15 AM, with the DON and IP, the DON and IP were unaware that the
anti-roll back device was not working for Resident 26 and Resident 66. They indicated that there was not a
system in place to check for the function of the anti-rollback devices after they were installed.

A. Assess the ability to transfer/ambulate safely.
B. Provide assistance/supervision as needed when ambulating/transfers.

C. Provide needed equipment to ambulate/transfer.
D. Use skid proof footwear when ambulating.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 100's fall care plan on 5/3/2021 at 2 PM,
Director of Nursing admitted , Resident 110' Fall care plan did not meet the need of the resident. She
stated, I would do something on his wheelchair and make sure the wheelchair has anti-rollback device and
it won't rollback.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Incident and Falls Assessment and Tracking , indicated:
A. Licensed nurse will enter problems, goals and interventions in the care plan and update the CNA of any
new interventions needed due to the incident.(interventions shall include preventative measures.)
B. Director of Staff Development (DSD) will review circumstances, determine causal factors if possible,
make recommendations for additional interventions as appropriate and assure care plan is updated.
C. Individual plans of care will be reviewed for appropriate changes during weekly summaries and quarterly
assessments.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to evaulate falls and develop new care
plan interventions for four of five sampled residents (Residents 26, 66, 118 and 110) to prevent further falls
and injuries.
This failure resulted in Resident 26, 66, 118 and 110 to have injuries related to falls and had the potential
for all residents to be at risk for accidents and hazards.
Findings:
1. Resident 26's admission record indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses of dementia and fracture of right femur. Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS)(a clinical
assessment of a resident's functional capabilities and health needs), dated 1/30/2021, indicated that she

A review of Resident 26's interdisciplinary progress notes (IPN) dated from 8/28/2020 to 4/18/2020
indicated she had seven falls.
-On 8/28/2020, she had an unwitnessed fall at 4:31 AM, and sustained a right femur distal fracture.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/06/2021, at 9:51 AM, with Resident 26 and Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) H, in Resident 26's room, Resident 26 was observed in bed, her slippers were next
to her bed. There was a large colorful note on the wall that was unreadable because it was covered with
cards and a calendar. Resident 26's wheel chair (w/c) was unlocked next to her bed. An automataic w/c
anti-rollback device (a device that as the resident gets up, a pair of brake arms instantly grab the tires to
prevent the chair from rolling backwards. The chair remains locked while the resident is out of the chair.
They are used to prevent falls) was attached to Resident 26's w/c. This intervention was not on her care
plan. The anti-rollback brake arms were not firmly attached to the wheels. LVN H pushed the w/c to
demonstrate the device's function and the chair moved easily when it should have been locked. LVN H
agreed that the anti-rollback device was not workng correctly, because the w/c should not move when the
resident was not in the chair. LVN H stated Resident 26 was not suppose to take herself to the bathroom
but sometimes she did not use her call light and she would go to the bathroom by herself. LVN H pointed to
a sign on the wall. The sign was covered up. She then uncovered the sign on the wall and it displayed the
words [Resident 26's name] wait for help. She agreed that the sign was covered with a calendar and cards,
and that Resident 26 could not read the sign because it was covered.
During an interview on 5/6/2021, at 9:58 AM, with certified nurse assistant (CNA) T, she indicated that
Resident 26 was a fall risk because she had fallen a few times. She said Resident 26 would fall at night in
the bathroom when she would go by herself. CNA T indicated that last month she was assisting Resident
26 to the bathroom and Resident 26 fell. CNA T explained that she wheeled Resident 26 into the bathroom.
Resident 26 held on to the grab bar next to the toilet and stood up. CNA T moved the w/c away from the
Resident. Resident 26 then put her hand on the commode arm support and the commode tipped over.
Resident 26 lost her balance and fell to the ground scratching her elbow and hitting her head. CNA T
confirmed she was not close enough to Resident 26 to support her. No gait belt was used. CNA T was not
aware of any new interventions that had been implemented since that fall. CNA

66 was observed in her bed. She had bruises on her forehead and under her eyes. She was barefoot. She
stated she wore nothing on her feet at night. In the winter time she wore sticky socks. She deswcribed the
socks they gave her a slippery. She stated she had to ask for socks if she wanted to wear them because
they did not ask her. Her call light was clipped on her sheets up near the top of her bed. She sat up and
reached her arm back to feel for her call light. She could not find it or reach it. She stated that once in a
while I cannot get it with my arm backwards. She had an anti-rollback device on her w/c, but her w/c rolled
forward and backwards when she was not in it. There was not a non-skid mat on top of her cushion in her
w/c.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview the facility failed to ensure two out of three certified nursing assistant (CNA)
(CNA Q and CNA P), were able to locate a resident's wishes for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
This failure resulted in the potential for unnecessary or unwanted medical procedures being performed on
them and violating their wishes.
Findings:
During an interview on [DATE], at 9:52 AM, with CNA Q, CNA Q stated that if she found Resident 45
unconscious and not breathing, she would check Resident 45's pulse and breathing and scream for help
and initiate CPR.
A record review on [DATE] at 9:55 AM, of Resident 45's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment
(POLST) revealed that Resident 45's wishes were to not be resuscitated.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:56 AM, with CNA P, CNA P indicated that if she found Resident 45
unresponsive, without a pulse she would call a code red and start CPR. When asked where she would find
Resident's 45 wishes for CPR she said there was a sticker on Resident 45's medical chart. CNA P went to
the chart to show me and when she did not see a sticker she asked RN C where she would find it. RN C
opened Resident 45's medical chart and showed CNA P, Resident 45's POLST. CNA P then indicated that
Resident 45 is a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). She agreed that she verbalized starting CPR on a resident that
did not want it. She denied doing any CPR drills with a trainer.
During an interview on [DATE], at 10:05 AM, with CNA Q, she indicated that she had been a CNA for 10
years and was CPR certified. She was unaware of where to find Resident 45's wishes for CPR. CNA Q
walked to the nurses desk and grabbed Resident 45's chart and looked past the POLST sheet and flipped
thru the chart. After one minute she was still looking. LVN E showed her where the information was found in
the chart. CNA Q stated that Resident 45 did not want CPR. She confirmed that she should check the
Resident's CPR wishes before she initiated CPR. She agreed that she verbalized starting CPR on a
resident that did not want it. She denied doing any CPR drills with a trainer.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:28 AM, with Infection Preventionist (IP), she confirmed that she was
responsible for competency over site. The last in-service on CPR was in 2019. She confirmed that when
there was a resident that was not breathing and with no pulse the rule was to check the resident's wishes
and then to call a code blue over the loud speaker. She said that education had fallen off since COVID. She
agreed that education was needed and confirmed she had never done a CPR drill with staff.

Provide routine and 24-hour emergency dental care for each resident.
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, residents' need to obtain dental care was not met when five of
five sampled residents (Residents 20, 27, 31, 64 and 276) did not receive routine dental services. This
resulted in pain, potential for choking, and potential for residents remaining on therapeutic diets (e.g.,
nectar thin liquids) unnecessarily.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
A review of the facility's document titled, Policy & Procedure, Dental Services, dated 2/08/17, indicated, The
facility will assist residents in obtaining routine and 24-hour emergency dental care. Procedure: A) Social
services staff/nursing staff will assist in making appointments and notify the activities department of

lost or damaged dentures for dental services.
A review of the facility's document titled, Social Services--Hearing, Dental, Vision & Podiatry Evals dated
7/10/13 indicated that Social Services will maintain a current list, which is coordinated with nursing, to
ensure that all residents with any dental, vision, hearing, or podiatry needs are seen by the consultant in
this area. A physician's order is needed prior to any consultations.
Resident 20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including high cholesterol and heart
failure. In a concurrent observation and interview on 5/4/2021 at 9:03 AM, Resident 20 was observed with

replaced. It makes it hard for me to eat.
In an interview on 5/4/21 at 9:48 AM, RN C stated, I am not seeing [his dentures] listed on his inventory.
In a concurrent record review of Resident 20's (admitting) inventory sheet titled, Personal belongings dated
2/9/21, RN C confirmed that the document was blank (no checkbox) in the selection dentures.
A review of the Resident 20's admission notes dated 1/26/21 indicated, no dentures.
In an interview on 5/4/2021 at 9:56 a.m., Social Worker (SS) stated, We're going to try to get things
covered, but unfortunately some things are out of our hands. If someone is suffering, we will try to get them
seen in 3 days.
In an interview on 5/4/21 at 9:56 AM, RN C stated, I made a note that his top dentures are with his friend,
he came in with no bottom dentures.
In an interview on 5/4/21 at 3:54 PM, Registered Dietitian (RDV) stated, [Resident 20] has no problem with
swallowing that I know of. I do assess their teeth and their ability to swallow. I did note on my assessment
that he doesn't have a ton of teeth.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In a concurrent interview and record review on 5/3/2021 at 3:08 PM, SS reviewed Resident 27's dental
record dated 7/14/2020 and stated, He was seen by a dentist in July, 2020 for an initial exam. The dentist
indicated he needed FMX, or full mouth x-ray. There was no follow up. Initially insurance was saying he had
no coverage. They were supposed to get back to us. It was never followed up on. If a resident doesn't have
coverage, we will work with them. Looks like we didn't have a system for follow up. A review of Resident
27's dental visit dated 7/2/2020 indicated that the resident required a full-mouth x-rays and further follow up.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 5/4/2021 at 03:51 PM, RDV stated, We base residents' diets on their medical needs and
dentition and ability to swallow. We look at diet textures if I feel it's a concern, go to speech language
pathologist to assess their swallow. If someone comes in with missing teeth or dentures we assess them.
Patients without teeth are taking bigger bites and can result in aspiration (choking) and stomach problems.
RDV acknowledged that Resident 27's dentition and lack of attention to dental care could be contributing to
his taking larger bites.
A review of the facility's document titled, Speech Therapy Discharge Summary dated 10/28/2019 indicated,
Consequences if services are not provided include possible aspiration (choking) .and continued
dependence on modified diet (e.g. nectar thick, mechanical soft.).
A review of resident 27's physician telephone order dated 3/2/20 indicated, Mechanical soft texture and
nectar thick liquids. and that resident was to eat small bites.
A review of a physician order dated 2/3/2021 for Resident 27, signed by Medical Director, indicated,
Aspiration Risk Care Plan: [Resident 27] is at risk for aspiration [due to having had a stroke] and behavior
of shoveling food instead of small bites and small sips.
A review of a physician visit summary dated 2/15/2021 signed by Medical Director (MD), indicated,
[Resident 27 ] has intermittent complaints of stomach ache, indigestion, gas and bloating
A review of the facility's admission assessment for Resident 27 dated 8/4/2019, included an oral health
evaluation that allowed the choice Poor dental/oral health, but that box was not checked. The evaluator's
response of Resident 27's dental health indicated, None of the above.
A review of a physician order for Resident 27, dated 2/15/2021 indicated, At risk for complications and
discomfort related to indigestion. 12/27/2020 Pantoprozole [Prilosec, an a prescription antacid] 40 mg q
(every) a.m. (morning) before breakfast.
A review of the facility's care plan for Resident 27, dated 2/15/2021, indicated, Aspiration Risk Care Plan:
[Resident 27] is at risk for aspiration [due to stroke] and behavior of shoveling food instead of small bites
and small sips.
In an interview on 5/5/2021 at 10:44 AM, Speech Therapist (ST 1) stated that Resident 27 had completed
speech therapy care by a previous speech therapist after evaluating the resident's dentition (dental health)
and placing him on a thin liquids/mechanical soft diet. From what I understand, he had a stroke so
dysphagia (problems swallowing) must be from a stroke. His oral prep phase (chewing, moistening) took
longer than usual. Our Social worker arranges dentist visits about once a month. ST 1 further stated that
not being able to chew food properly can result in choking, stomach pain, and

what appeared to be a large accumulation of soft white matter between his teeth, which were stained and
dirty. Resident 48 stated, I was getting dental cleanings, but they're not taking me to the dentist. I got a
'cleaning' here, which amounted to some solution being put in my mouth and brushing my teeth. They don't
do the scraping part. I don't want to lose my teeth. They're getting to where the gums are going down
because they're not being cleaned.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, distribute and serve food in accordance
with professional standards for food service safety when 1) one of four ice machines was not maintained in
a sanitary condition, 2) expired food was available for use in a refrigerator in the kitchen, and 3) food was
not covered during transport to residents.
These failures put the residents at risk for food borne illness and physical contamination of food.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation of the [NAME] brand ice machine on Station 2 and interview on 5/5/21
at 10:25 AM with Facility [NAME] (PN) and Engineer (EN), the ice machine was opened and a white towel
was used by PN around the inside of the ice chute within the machine. The white towel was noted to have a
black substance on it. PN agreed that there was a black substance on the white towel.
During a concurrent interview with Facility Manager (FM) on 5/5/21 at 11:04 AM, FM was shown the photo
taken of the white towel. He agreed there was a black substance on the towel and that it should not have
been there.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/5/21 at 2:30 PM with FM and Maintenance Mechanic
(MM), MM provided documentation from [NAME] that indicated the ice machine is to be cleaned at least
semi-annually. MM also provided documentation that indicated he last sanitized the machine on 3/22/21.
A review of the 2017 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code section 4-204.16 indicated that
because of the high moisture environment, mold and algae may form on the surface of the ice bins.
A record review of [NAME] ice machine manufacturer's instructions with unknown date, read, Cleaning and
Sanitizing .Periodic cleaning of [NAME]'s ice and water dispenser and ice machine system is required to
ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning procedures that
follow should be performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if environmental
conditions dictate.
2. During the initial observation on 5/3/21 at 10:30 AM of the kitchen, a small refrigerator was noted next to
the tray line. In this refrigerator, two turkey sandwiches were noted to have use by dates of 4/30/21.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/3/21 at 10:30 AM, [NAME] (CC) agreed that the two
turkey sandwiches had use by dates of 4/30/21. CC stated that they put sandwiches and other items that
may need to be used during the plating of the meals and that the dietary staff was responsible for
monitoring the dates and that food past the use by date should not be available for use.
During an interview on 5/5/21 at 10 AM with Dietary Services Manager (DSM), she stated that the small
refrigerator in the kitchen should be checked daily by the dietary aide. DSM stated that CC informed her of
the outdated sandwiches that were found 5/3/21.

3. During a concurrent observation on 5/5/21 at 12:09 PM and interview with the DSM, dietary aides were
noted putting cut pieces of a custard pie on resident trays that were being taken to the residents for the
noon meal. Some of these trays were placed on a food cart and the pie was partially covered with a hard
plastic cover. DSM stated the cover was placed on the pie as those trays were on a cart that was not
enclosed, so the pie needed to be covered as it was taken to the nursing floor to be served to the residents.
A record review of the 2017 FDA Food Code read, Preventing Contamination from Other Sources 3-307.11
Miscellaneous Sources of Contamination. Food shall be protected from contamination .

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** During a
concurrent interview and record review, on 5/6/2021, at 7:00 AM, with Infection Preventionist (IP) and
Minimum Data Set Infection Preventionist Nurse (MDS/IP), the general orientation checklist (GOC) for LVN
K dated 5/14/2015 was reviewed. The IP and MDS/IP confirmed LVN K was oriented to infection control
procedures including handwashing.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview on 5/6/2021, at 8:00 AM, with Administrator (ADM) and Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed,
the facility policy and expectation for employees was to perform hand hygiene (hand washing or hand
sanitizing), between the change of soiled to clean gloves while performing resident wound treatments.
Based on observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a licensed vocational nurse
(LVN) K perform hand hygiene while preformed wound care.
This failure had the potential to spread infection from one resident to another, and cause an infection to a
wound.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/4/21, at 11:43 AM, with LVN K, in room [ROOM
NUMBER]A, LVN K was performing wound care on Resident 66. LVN K removed a soiled dressing from
Resident 66's stage 4 pressure ulcer(an open area with full-thickness skin and tissue loss). LVN K cleaned
the wound then removed her soiled gloves. Without performing hand hygiene, she reached into her pocket
and donned(put on) new gloves. LVN K indicated that she normally did not do hand hygiene between
changing from soiled to clean gloves when she was working with the same resident. She was unaware that
she should do hand hygiene between the change of soiled to clean gloves, while performing resident
wound treatments
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Infection Control-Handwashing-FTNS, reviewed
12/18/2019, indicated hand hygiene is required after removing gloves, and between contact with different
patients.
A review of the facility's (undated) policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Care-Wound and Skin
Management-FTNS, indicated that any resident who has a pressure sore will receive the necessary
treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infections, prevent new ulcers/sores from development.
