Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on interview and record review, the facility did not ensure one of 41 sampled residents (Resident
118) was treated with dignity and respect, when Resident 118 heard certified nursing assistant (CNA) 2
speaking negatively about her to licensed nurse (LN) 2.
This failure resulted in Resident 118 feeling upset and crying, negatively impacting Resident 118's feelings
of self-worth (the internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others) and
self-esteem (how you value and perceive yourself, and the degree to which you think your qualities are
positive).

2023, with diagnoses which included obesity.
During an interview with Resident 118, on 11/5/24, at 12:33 PM, Resident 118 stated CNA 2 called her fat.
Resident 118, being tearful when recounting the situation, further stated CNA 2 told her that it hurt his arms
to push her in her wheelchair because she was fat and asked her why she had to go outside all the time.
Resident 118 stated it made her feel bad and it hurt her feelings and she would cry. Resident 118 explained
she told her nurse [LN 2] and said she did not want CNA 2 taking care of her anymore. Resident 118
further explained Social Services did not follow up with her after her initial complaint. (Social
Services-assess and address emotional and psychosocial needs, develop and implement care plans, and
advocate for residents).
A review of Resident 118's clinical document titled, Grievance/Complaint Resolution Report, dated
10/10/24, indicated, .Does not want [CNA 2] says rude stuff/things to her keeps saying slick [sic] remarks
about how big she is and about her w/c [wheelchair] is too big. He does not want to work, that she hurts his
back .[CNA 2] stated that he spoke to his nurse about resident and didn't realize it was close enough to
hear .[CNA 2] was given a write up with in-service to follow on communication .
During an interview with LN 2, on 11/5/24, at 2:37 PM, LN 2 stated Resident 118 told him CNA 2 hurt her
feelings and that CNA 2 said she hurt his back in front of her.
During an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD), on 11/5/24, at 2:44 PM, the SSD stated
Resident 118 told her CNA 2 was making statements about her that she was uncomfortable with and that
her wheelchair was too big, and it was hurting his back.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure 3 of 41 sampled residents
(Resident 21, Resident 94, and Resident 50) needs were accommodated based on their physical limitations
when,
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 21 was unable to easily use a push button call light (a handheld device with a button to call for
staff assistance) and was not assessed for the need of an adaptive call light (a device that allows people
with limited hand function to call for assistance);
2. Resident 94 was unable to easily use a push button call light, was not assessed for the need of an
adaptive call light, and Resident 94's fall mat (a soft pad used to reduce risk of injury in case of a fall) was
not in place near the bed; and,
3. Resident 50's wheelchair was lost, and the facility provided him with a wheelchair which was too large,
uncomfortable, and did not fit through his door.
These failures placed Resident 21 and Resident 94 at risk for falls, injury, and psychosocial distress when
both residents were unable to easily call for assistance from staff, and placed Resident 50 at risk for
emotional distress and feelings of isolation.
1. A review of Resident 21's clinical record titled, admission Record (a document that contains demographic
information), indicated Resident 21's diagnoses included stroke (the brain was deprived of oxygen for an
amount of time to cause brain injury) and contracture (a permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons,
skin, and nearby tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff) of the left hand, and
weakness on one side of the body.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/6/24. at 2:30 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse
(MDS - a nurse who completes a comprehensive assessment), Resident 21's left hand was observed to
have contractures and her right hand was weak. MDS asked Resident 21 to press the call light. Resident 21
was unable to place the call light in her hand or press the call light button. MDS placed the call light in
Resident 21's right hand and after two minutes of encouragement and multiple prompts, Resident 21 was
finally able to press the call light. Resident 21 was crying and stated sometimes she would press the call
light, and no one would come to the room to help her. MDS stated Resident 21 would benefit from an
adaptive call light in which Resident 21 could touch a pad instead of having to press a button to get the call
light to activate. MDS stated Resident 21 was at risk for falls and that not having an adaptive call light to
request staff assistance put her at risk for falls and injury.
During an interview on 11/6/24, at 3:49 p.m., with the Restorative Nursing Assistant 1 (RNA - provides
exercises to the residents), RNA 1 stated Resident 21 had not been assessed by nursing or physical
therapy for her ability to use a conventional call light. RNA 1 stated Resident 21 had been in the same room
since her admission date and had the same type of call light during her stay at the facility. RNA 1 stated
Resident 21 would benefit from an adaptive call light that would not require her to push a button.
A review of Resident 21's clinical record titled, Section GG - Functional Abilities (a portion of a
comprehensive assessment), dated 10/4/24, indicated Resident 21 utilized a wheelchair and was
dependent on staff for transferring from one location to another, bathing, rolling from side to side,

A review of Resident 21's clinical record titled, Fall Risk Assessment (an assessment that assists in
evaluating risk factors and recent fall history), dated 2/15/24, indicated Resident 21 was at high risk for
falling (score 50) related to her state of bedrest, impaired gait (style of walk), and that Resident 21
overestimated her physical abilities.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 21's clinical record titled, Care Plan (a document which indicated Resident 21's
individual problems, goals, and interventions), dated 12/12/18, indicated Resident 21 was at risk for falls
and injuries related to medications and a history of stroke. Interventions included to keep the call light within
reach and to encourage the use of the call light.
A review of Resident 21's clinical record titled, Care Plan, dated 12/19/18, indicated Resident 21 had
impaired thought process, memory loss, and impaired decision making related to dementia (a general term
for a decline in mental abilities that affects a person's daily life). Interventions included supervision as
needed.
2. A review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, admission Record indicated Resident 94's diagnoses
included dementia (a general term for a decline in mental abilities that affects a person's daily life),
hemiplegia and hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body) following a stoke (oxygen deprivation to
the brain for an amount of time causing brain damage), and hallucinations (seeing things that were not
real).
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 94 and Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, on 11/5/24 at
10:00 a.m., LN 1 verified Resident 94's call light was hanging off the right side of her bed and not in reach
and the fall mat (a soft mat placed at the side of the bed to help cushion a fall) was pushed away
(approximately 4 feet) from the right side of Resident 94's bed. LN 1 asked Resident 94 if she could reach
her call light, and Resident 94 stated, no. LN 1 then handed Resident 94 her call light and prompted her to
press the call light button. Resident 94 was unable to push the button due to weakness in her hands. LN 1
stated Resident 94 was a high risk for falls and should have had an adaptive call light (a call light that
required the resident to tap on a pad instead of pushing a button) and the fall mat should have been
pushed up close to the side of the bed.
A review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Fall Risk Assessment, dated 10/11/04, indicated Resident 94
was a high risk for falls (score of 50) related to her medical diagnoses of dementia and stroke and Resident
94 overestimated her ability to walk.
During a review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Care Plan, dated 10/14/24, indicated Resident 94
took specific medications that placed her at a safety risk and potential injury.
During a review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Section GG Functional Abilities - Admission (a
section of a comprehensive assessment), dated 10/16/24, indicated Resident 94 was dependent on staff
for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper and lower dressing, and rolling from side to
side.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Fall Prevention and Response, dated 8/23,
indicated, . Each Resident will be assessed for fall risk factors and will receive care and services in
accordance with individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls .

3. Review of Resident 50's admission RECORD indicated Resident 50 was admitted to the facility in 2022,
with diagnoses including respiratory failure, morbid obesity, and abnormalities of gait and mobility.
During an interview on 11/5/24, at 11 a.m., Resident 50 stated he had lived at the facility for two and a half
years. Resident 50 stated he had his own wheelchair but earlier in the year while he was admitted to the
hospital, the facility sent it home with another resident. Resident 50 stated the facility gave him an alternate
wheelchair, but it was too big to fit in his doorway. Resident 50 stated when he tried to use the wheelchair
he slid down and did not feel safe in it. Resident 50 stated he has told staff the wheelchair was too large.
Resident 50 stated he last used his current wheelchair a couple of months ago.
In a concurrent observation and interview on 11/8/24, 9:29 a.m., with Resident 50 in his room, Resident 50
stated the current wheelchair had no footrests, was too big, and stated he felt like he was swimming in it.
Resident 50 stated this caused him to start hyperventilating, so he was scared to use it. Resident 50 stated
he wanted his independence back.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/8/24, at 9:59 a.m., with the Director of Rehabilitation
(DOR), the DOR stated the wheelchair Resident 50 currently used was too large, so she measured him,
and told Central Supply Staff (CS) he needed a 30-inch wheelchair. The DOR stated his current wheelchair
was a size 34. The DOR stated she told the CS on about 10/11/24 and stated she did not think it should
take a month for the resident to receive a new wheelchair. The DOR stated she spoke to the CS yesterday
regarding the wheelchair order and was told the CS ordered it yesterday. The DOR stated Resident 50
would be more comfortable in a smaller wheelchair. The DOR stated if the wheelchair was too big, he could
slide out and fall.
During an interview on 11/8/24 at 10:55 a.m., the CS stated she received the request a month ago, but the
30-inch wheelchair was not available, so they ordered a size 28, which would be delivered on 11/18/24. The
CS indicated if their normal vendor could not locate an item they could have used an alternate vendor.
Review of a facility email receipt, dated 11/7/24, indicated an order was placed through an outside vendor
for a wheelchair with a seat width of 28 inches.
During an interview on 11/8/24, at 11:10 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 stated Resident 50
wanted to be able to get up, and stated he was not comfortable in his wheelchair. CNA 3 stated she had

residents (Resident 50) when Resident 50's physician recommended exercise in response to Resident 50's
request for help with weight loss, and the facility did not notify Resident 50's physician of his inability to
participate in an exercise program.
This failure had the potential for a delay in interventions to assist Resident 50 with his goals for weight loss

Nursing (ADON) 2, ADON 2 reviewed Resident 50's clinical record and indicated on 7/26/24 NP 1
recommended weight loss through exercise with RNA services. ADON 2 explained Resident 50 had been
refusing as he could not walk. ADON 2 was not sure if this problem had been shared with the physician or
NP 1.
During an interview on 11/8/24 at 1:10 p.m., Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) 1 stated Resident 50 was

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that 2 of 41 sampled
residents' (Resident 51 and Resident 102) Minimum Data Set (MDS -a federally mandated resident
assessment and screening tool which identifies care needs) assessments reflected their current status
when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 51's discharge MDS was not completed for discharge in July 2024
2. Resident 102's route of feeding was not correct on the MDS assessment.
These failures had the potential for Resident 102's strengths and needs to go unassessed which could
have resulted in inaccurate or missing individualized care plans, and led to Resident 51's health status
upon discharge not being tracked in the MDS system.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 51's admission RECORD, indicated he was admitted to the facility in June of 2024.
A review of Resident 51's clinical document titled, Wagner Notice of Transfer or Discharge, indicated,

During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/7/24, at 7:51 AM, the MDS coordinator (MDSC)
confirmed Resident 51's discharge assessment was incomplete. The MDSC stated the discharge
assessment was important to track the status of the resident and to mirror the true census of the facility.
The MDSC stated if the assessment was not completed, the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) would
not be informed of Resident 51's discharge status.
A review of a facility policy and procedure titled, MDS STANDARD OF PRACTICE, dated 10/2022,
indicated, . It is the practice of this facility to conduct accurate coding and delivery of services provided to

2. A review of Resident 102's clinical record titled, admission Record (a document that contains
demographic information), indicated Resident 102's diagnoses included respiratory failure.
A review of Resident 102's clinical record titled, Orders, dated 5/24/24 through 10/22/24, indicated Resident
102 was on a pureed diet (diet consists of foods that are ground, mashed, or blended until they are smooth
and soft, like pudding).
A review of Resident 102's clinical record titled, Section K - Swallowing/Nutritional Status (a section of a
comprehensive assessment), dated 8/12/24, indicated Resident 102 required a feeding tube (a tube placed
in the nose or in the stomach that directly delivers food to the body, often by a pump device) to receive her
food.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/5/24, at 9:38 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 1, CNA 1 verified there was not a feeding pump next to Resident 102's bedside. CNA 1 stated
Resident 102 had never received food via a feeding tube.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/7/24, at 7:57 a.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse

Notify the appropriate authorities when residents with MD or ID services has a significant change in
condition.
Based on interview and record review, the facility did not ensure 1 of 41 sampled residents (Resident 43)
had her Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR- a federal requirement to help ensure that
individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes) form updated after a significant change in a
mental illness diagnosis.
This failure resulted in Resident 43 not receiving an updated screening assessment that could have
provided services needed to improve Resident 43's mental health condition and quality of life.
Findings:
A review of Resident 43's clinical record titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR)
Level 1 Screening, dated 11/3/23, indicated Resident 43 had a diagnosis of a serious mental illness, and
therefore the Level I screening was positive and required a Level II screening (an evaluation to determine if
the resident could benefit from specialized mental health services).
A review of Resident 43's clinical record titled, admission Record (a document that contains demographic
information), indicated Resident 43's diagnosis was updated on 2/22/24 to include schizoaffective disorder
(a chronic mental disorder that can cause one to see and believe things that are not real, feelings of intense
sadness, higher energy levels, and depression).
During a joint concurrent interview and record review on 11/7/24, at 9:25 a.m., with the Admissions
Department (ADD) and the Admissions Department Manager (AM), Resident 43's clinical record titled,
Level II Evaluation, dated 11/3/23, was reviewed. The document indicated, . After reviewing the Positive
Level I Screening and speaking with staff, a Level II mental Health Evaluation was not scheduled for the
following reason: The individual has no serious mental illness (SMI) . To reopen, please submit a new Level
I Screening . The ADD and ADM stated a new PASARR Level I should have been completed after Resident
43 received her new mental illness diagnosis. The ADD and AM stated the admission department was in
charge of initiating the PASARRs when a new mental health diagnosis had been identified and the
information has been given to them by the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDS - A nurse who completes
comprehensive assessments on residents of the facility). The ADD and AM stated a new screening should
have been completed to ensure Resident 1 received the correct specialized services and to ensure
recommendations for treatment were followed.
During an interview on 11/7/24, at 9:51 a.m., with the MDS Nurse, the MDS nurse stated he was unsure
how the admissions department was made aware of Resident 43's new mental health diagnosis and was
unsure when a PASARR re-screen needed to be completed.
During a joint interview and record review on 11/7/24, at 2:39 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON) and
Administrator (ADM), the facility's document titled, California Department of Health Care Services
Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR), dated 1/12/23, was reviewed. The document
indicated, . The Level I Screening should always reflect the individual's current condition. We recommend
checking if a Resident Review is needed during a facility's annual or quarterly MDS review . The DON and
ADM acknowledged an updated Level I screening should have been competed to reflect Resident 43's
most current mental health illness diagnosis. The DON and ADM stated the policy was not followed.

2. During a review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, admission Record (a document that contains
demographic information), indicated Resident 94's diagnosis included dementia (a general term for a
decline in mental abilities that affects a person's daily life), hemiplegia and hemiparesis (inability to move
one side of the body) following a stoke (oxygen deprivation to the brain for an amount of time causing brain
damage), and hallucinations (seeing things that are not real).
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 94 and Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, on 11/5/24 at
10:00 a.m., LN 1 verified Resident 94's call light was hanging off the right side of her bed and not in reach
and the fall mat (a soft mat placed at the side of the bed to help cushion a fall) was pushed away
(approximately 4 feet) from the right side of Resident 94's bed. LN 1 asked Resident 94 if she could reach
her call light, and Resident 94 stated, no. LN 1 then handed Resident 94 her call light and prompted her to
press the call light button. Resident 94 was unable to push the button due to weakness in her hands. LN 1
stated Resident 94 was a high risk for falls and should have had an adaptive call light (a call light that
required the resident to tap on a pad instead of pushing a button) and the fall mat should have been
pushed up close to the side of the bed.
A review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Fall Risk Assessment, dated 10/11/24, indicated Resident 94
was at high risk for falls (score of 50) related to a medical diagnosis (that contributes to falls) and that
Resident 94 overestimated her ability to walk.
During a review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Section GG Functional Abilities - Admission (a
section of a comprehensive assessment), dated 10/16/24, indicated Resident 94 was dependent on staff
for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper and lower dressing, and rolling from side to
side.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/06/24, at 2:30 p.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Nurse (MDS - the nurse who codes the assessment that indicated Resident 96's physical abilities and
interventions needed for care), Resident 94's clinical record titled, Care Plan, dated 10/14/24, was
reviewed. MDS stated there was not a current fall care plan in place, but there should have been because
Resident 94 was at high risk for falls. MDS stated the lack of a fall care plan placed Resident 94 at risk for
injury.
During a review of Resident 94's clinical record titled, Care Plan, dated 10/14/24, indicated Resident 94
took specific medications that placed her at a safety risk and potential injury.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Fall Prevention and Response, dated 8/23,
indicated, . Each Resident will be assessed for fall risk factors and will receive care and services in
accordance with individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls.Facility will assess each
Resident's individual fall risk factors and implement comprehensive, resident centered fall prevention plans
for each resident at risk for falls .A Licensed Nurse will initiate a .comprehensive care plan to address
identified risk factors and initiate appropriate interventions to minimize risk and reduce injuries .

Care Plan should have been started immediately after the fall risk assessment deemed Resident 94 of a
high fall risk and stated the P&P was not followed.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 2 of 41 sampled residents (Resident 54
and Resident 94) had individualized care plans (a document that indicates specific problems, goals, and
interventions) developed and implemented when:
1. Resident 54's vision care plan was not developed to include admitting diagnoses of diabetic cataract (a
clouding of the eye's lens that can lead to decreased vision and blindness) and glaucoma (a chronic eye
disease that occurs when fluid builds up in the eye causing gradual loss of sight); and,
2. Resident 94's care plan to address falls was not developed.
These failures could have resulted in Resident 54's care needs not being addressed, and Resident 94
could have sustained a preventable fall which could have resulted in an injury.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 54's admission Record indicated Resident 54 was admitted to the facility in 2024
with diagnoses which included diabetic cataract and glaucoma.
During a review of Resident 54's Clinical Case Management Progress Note dated 6/5/24, the note
indicated Resident 54 informed the staff he was taking eye drops which were not on his current medication
list. The note further indicated staff placed a call to Resident 54's physician regarding the ophthalmic
medication (used to treat eye disorders) for Resident 54.
A review of Resident 54's Physician Order Summary dated 6/5/24 indicated Resident 54 was ordered
Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution (medicated eye drops) one drop in both eyes three times a day
for glaucoma, Timoptic Ophthalmic Solution, one drop in both eyes two times a day for glaucoma, and
Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution, one drop in both eyes in the evening for glaucoma.
A review of Resident 54's Care Plan indicated Resident 54 had no vision care plan developed with focus or
interventions listed for vision problems related to cataracts or glaucoma.
During an interview with Resident 54 on 11/5/24 at 3:56 p.m. in his room, Resident 54 stated he was legally
blind (a statement that governments grant when you have severe vision loss) and had glaucoma and
cataracts. Resident 54 stated he thought his vision was getting worse. Resident 54 stated that he requested
to have his vision evaluated. Resident 54 stated that he had difficulty seeing with his current glasses.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to assist 1 of 41 sampled residents (Resident 54)
with obtaining vision services in a timely manner when the outside vision provider deemed Resident 54
ineligible to receive vision services through them and the facility did not follow-up and/or attempt to find
another vision provider.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 54 feeling frustrated about his vision and had the potential to negatively
impact Resident 54's psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
A review of Resident 54's admission RECORD indicated Resident 54 was admitted to the facility in 2024
with diagnoses which included diabetic cataract (a clouding of the eye's lens that can lead to decreased
vision and blindness), and glaucoma (a chronic eye disease that occurs when fluid builds up in the eye
causing gradual loss of sight).
During an interview with Resident 54 on 11/5/24 at 3:56 p.m. Resident 54 stated that he was legally blind (a
statement that governments can grant you when you have severe vision loss) and had glaucoma and
cataracts. Resident 54 stated that he felt that his vision was getting worse, and he had requested to have
his vision evaluated two months ago. Resident 54 stated that he had not heard an update on his request to
have his vision evaluated and that he had repeatedly asked Social Services to have his vision evaluated.
Resident 54 stated he was frustrated that he had not received an update on his requests and he had
difficulty seeing with his current glasses.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were
administered in accordance with professional standards of practice for two of forty-one sampled residents
(Resident 111 and Resident 105) when:
1. Resident 111's medications, including controlled substances (a drug or chemical that is regulated by the
government for its manufacture, possession, and use) were left at Resident 111's bedside; and
2. The facility did not ensure correct route of medication administration for Resident 105.
These failures had the potential for Resident 111 not to receive his medication, and/or another resident to
ingest medication not prescribed to them, and for Resident 105 to receive medications with an altered
effect.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 111's admission RECORD indicated Resident 111 was admitted with diagnoses
which included osteomyelitis right ankle and foot (infection of the bone), and diabetes mellitus (a chronic
condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar).
A review of Resident 111's Physician Order Summary indicated there was no order that allowed Resident
111 to self-administer his medications.
A review of Resident 111's Care Plan indicated there was no assessment that allowed Resident 111 to
self-administer his medications.
During an observation with Resident 111 on 11/5/24 at 10:10 a.m. in his room, a plastic cup with
medications in pill form was left on the bedside table. Resident 111 stated these were his medications.
During an interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) 6 at the medication cart on 11/5/24 at 10:17 a.m., LN 6
stated Resident 111 asked her to leave the medications at the bedside. LN 6 stated she was not supposed
to leave the medications at the resident's bedside, and stated the risk was another resident could have
taken the medications. LN 6 stated vitamin C (nutrition supplement), tramadol (opioid narcotic medication
for pain), iron (nutritional supplement), magnesium (nutritional supplement), lactobacillus (helps with
digestion), and vibegron (treatment for overactive bladder, a condition in which the bladder muscles
contract uncontrollably and causes an urgent need to urinate) were the medications left at Resident 111's
bedside. LN 6 stated she went back to Resident 111's room, and he took the medications.
During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1 on 11/08/24 at 1:06 p.m., ADON 1
stated nurses should have stayed with the residents until the resident took their medications to ensure that
the medications were swallowed by the resident. ADON 1 stated the risk was that staff were not sure if
medications were taken by the resident, and it was a danger to the other residents. ADON 1 confirmed that
the facility policy was not followed.

medication administration) when they were ordered to be administered by mouth (PO).
Residents Affected - Few
This unsafe medication administration practice could result in medication errors, negatively affecting the
health and well-being of Resident 105.
Findings:
During a concurrent interview and medication pass observation, with licensed nurse (LN) 1, on 11/7/24, at
8 AM, LN 1 was observed crushing medications for Resident 105. LN 1 verbalized the route was PO. LN 1
administered them to Resident 105 via G-tube route. The Medication Administration Record (MAR)
indicated the following medications were to be administered PO:
1. Carvedilol (used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure) 3.125 mg (mg-milligrams a unit of
measure) 1 tablet PO, with an order date of 7/25/24;
2. Losartan (used to treat high blood pressure) 25 mg 0.5 tablet PO, with an order date of 7/25/24;
3. Jardiance (helps to control blood sugar levels in diabetes type 2) 25 mg 0.5 tablet PO, with an order date
of 7/25/24;
4. Multivitamin with minerals 1 tablet PO, with an order date of 7/25/24; and,
5. Senna (medication to promote bowel movement) 8.6 mg 1 tablet PO, with an order date of 7/25/24.
The above medications were administered via G-Tube.
During an interview with the Physician, on 11/8/24, at 7:57 AM, the Physician stated he thought the
medications should have been administered PO. The Physician explained he would expect the order to be
followed if it was changed from G-tube to PO. The Physician stated there were some medications that
cannot be administered through the G-Tube and it had to do with the form of the medication.
During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1, on 11/8/24, at 10:17 AM, the ADON
stated the order indicated the medications should have been given PO, and stated the nurses were not
following physician orders. The ADON explained if the medication was extended release, it would not be
able to be crushed and administered via the G-Tube, it would affect the efficacy of the medication. If the
order was PO and there was a problem with swallowing the medications, the nurse should notify the
physician.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored in a
clean and sanitary environment, when medications were found not to be in its bubble pack (a way to store
single doses of medication). The unidentifiable medication was loose at the bottom of the medication cart
drawer.
This failure had the potential for medications to be unaccounted for, and increased the risk of medication
error.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview with licensed nurse (LN) 6, on 11/7/24, at 1:25 PM, a loose
pill was observed at the bottom of the Station 2 Medication Cart. LN 6 stated she was not able to identify
the pill. LN 6 explained the importance of ensuring there were no loose pills at the bottom of the medication
cart drawer to ensure cleanliness and accountability.
During an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1, on 11/8/24, at 12:29 PM, ADON 1
explained the importance of not having loose pills in the medication cart was a danger to the nurse and it
was an infection control issue.
A review of the facility pharmacy policy titled, 5.3 Storage and Expiration of Medications, Biologicals,
Syringes, and Needles, revised 10/31/16, indicated, .Facility should ensure that the medications and
biologicals for each resident are stored in the containers in which they were originally received .

Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare and serve foods in a
consistent and appetizing manner when,
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 40 and Resident 120 were served food that was cold, and the test trays sampled on 11/7/24
were bland in flavor and not of an appetizing temperature; and
2. Recipes were not followed for 15 of 15 residents receiving pureed diets (food that have been ground to a
soft, smooth consistency, like pudding) on 11/7/24.
These failures had the potential to result in decreased meal intake for the 127 residents receiving meals in
the facility, which could lead to weight loss and malnutrition.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 40's admission RECORD, indicated he was admitted to the facility in the fall of
2024.
A review of Resident 120's admission RECORD, indicated he was admitted to the facility in the spring of
2023.
During an interview on 11/5/24, at 12:28 PM, Resident 40 stated the food was always served cold.
During an interview on 11/6/24, at 8:29 AM, Resident 120 stated the food was always cold.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/7/24, at 1:38 PM, a pureed and regular texture test
tray were sampled with the Registered Dietitian (RD). The RD confirmed the pureed beef tasted bland. The
RD further confirmed the rice and potatoes tasted bland and he would have added salt and pepper. The RD
confirmed the food temperatures could be warmer. The RD stated it was his expectation residents would be
served meals that were palatable (pleasant to taste), and that food temperatures were an individualized
preference, but an important part of the palatability. The RD further stated there was a risk to the residents
of not consuming their meals if they did not find them palatable.
2. During an observation on 11/7/24, at 10:40 AM, dietary assistant (DA) 2 was observed preparing pureed
carrots. DA 2 added cooked carrots to the blender and turned it on. DA 2 stated she did not add liquids or
anything to her pureed foods.
During an observation on 11/7/24, at 11:40 AM, the cook was observed preparing the pureed meat portion
of the meal. The meat used for the pureed diets was frozen, prepackaged, hamburger patties. The cook
removed the patties from the oven and pureed them in the blender.
During an observation on 11/7/24, at 11:42 AM, the cook placed a 2.5 quart pan of water on the steam
table and poured breadcrumbs into it from a package. The dietary manager (DM) pureed slices of bread in
the blender and added them to the pan with the breadcrumbs.

(Resident 94) received rehabilitation services when Resident 94 was admitted to the facility and an order
for Physical Therapy (PT; treatment that helps you improve how your body performs physical movements)
and Occupational Therapy (OT; helps you improve your ability to perform daily tasks like getting dressed)
was not initiated as indicated in Resident 94's hospital discharge summary.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in a decline in physical function for Resident 94.
Findings:
Review of Resident 94's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 94 was admitted to the facility in October
2024, with diagnoses which included hemiplegia (partial or total loss of muscle function on one side of the
body) and hemiparesis (one-sided weakness but without complete loss of muscle function) affecting the left
dominant side.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/6/24 at 2:05 p.m., the Director of Rehab (DOR)
confirmed Resident 94 had never been assessed for PT and OT and there was not an order from the
Medical Director (MD) for physical and occupational therapy evaluation. The DOR confirmed that Resident
94's section GG (describes functional abilities) on the Minimum Data Set (MDS; an assessment tool),
initiated 10/16/24, indicated, . [Resident 94] depend on staff for needs .due to unable to use left dominant
side . The DOR confirmed Resident 94's Emergency Department Discharge Notes, dated 10/11/24,
indicated, . [Resident 94] needs skilled PT, OT .
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/6/24, at 3:04 p.m., with the DOR, the DOR confirmed
Resident 94 was unable to open her left hand and her right hand was weak. The DOR stated Resident 94
could benefit from Restorative Nurse Aide (RNA; can help ensure that each resident will maintain his or her
maximum functional capacity) services and a PT and OT evaluation. The DOR stated Resident 94 could
use a carrot roll to keep her left hand open so she could maintain her current level of function.
During an interview on 11/7/24 at 11 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 8, LN 8 stated licensed nurses read
the progress notes from the hospital discharge summary and verified the orders with the Medical Director
(MD). LN 8 stated when there was no PT and/or OT orders in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) the
doctor would be called to clarify if an order was needed.
During an interview on 11/7/24 at 11:18 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1 stated it was the
ADON's responsibility to review hospital orders for new admissions and the Admit Nurse carried out the
orders. ADON 1 stated the following day the clinical team would review admission orders and double check
progress notes to ensure no orders were missed.
During an interview on 11/7/24 at 12:30 p.m., the Medical Director (MD) stated her expectation was for
Resident 94 to have been given PT, OT, or RNA services.
During an interview on 11/7/24 at 1:19 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the job description for the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was reviewed. The DON stated if any resident did not qualify for

PM, the Hospice ADM stated the Hospice care providers wrote notes for their visits to the residents. The
Hospice ADM explained the Hospice care provider's notes were in their Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
and were left or sent to the facility. The Hospice ADM stated the importance of leaving the notes was to
ensure coordination of care with the facility by having interdisciplinary communication and keeping the
facility informed of the plan of care.
During a record review with the Medical Records Director (MRD), on 11/7/24, at 3:20 PM, the MRD
confirmed they had not received any e-mails from the Hospice with the Hospice Nursing Notes.

stated the Hospice 1's care provider notes should be left with the facility the week of the visit. ADON 1
further explained the facility needed the hospice nursing notes to follow-up and determine the outcome of
the visit. ADON 1 explained the importance of coordination of care with hospice was to better take care of
the resident and follow any orders that need to be followed through on, and that was how they
communicated.
b. A review of Resident 121's admission Record, indicated Resident 121 was admitted to the facility in
Summer 2022, with diagnoses which included depression and anxiety disorder.
During a review of Hospice 2's Binder for Resident 121, there were no hospice care provider nursing notes
for August 2024, September 2024, and October 2024 in Resident 121's hospice binder.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During a
concurrent interview and medication pass observation with licensed nurse (LN) 3, on 11/7/24, at 12:13 PM,
LN 3 was observed cleaning the glucometer (analyzes blood to give a blood sugar number) after acquiring
a blood sugar from a resident. LN 3 used a disinfectant wipe, wiping the glucometer and set the glucometer
down to dry. LN 3 explained the contact time (time the disinfectant is wet) was 2 minutes. The contact time
between the glucometer and disinfectant wipe was less than 10 seconds.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and observation with LN 5, on 11/7/24, at 12:30 PM, LN 5 was observed
cleaning the glucometer. LN 5 did not sanitize the glucometer. LN 5 explained she cleans the glucometer
and then lets it air dry.
During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP), on 11/7/24, at 1:01 PM, the IP explained the facility
follows manufacturers guideline to clean and disinfect the glucometer. The IP explained cleaning the
glucometer means to remove any dirt and debris. The IP further explained disinfecting the glucometer
requires the chemical on the sanitizing wipe to sit for the allotted time to kill organisms that may be on the
glucometer and the glucometer needs to be visibly wet for two minutes. The IP stated the importance of
ensuring the glucometer was clean and disinfected was to prevent cross-contamination from bloodborne
pathogens from one resident to another.
A review of the facility procedure titled, Blood Sugar Monitoring, dated 2006, indicated, .Follow
manufacturer's directions for use and care of the equipment .
A review of a facility supplied document, untitled and undated, indicated, .Cleaning and disinfecting can be
completed by using a .disinfectant .wipe .use one wipe to clean and a second wipe to disinfect .
A review of the manufacturer's guidelines for the [brand name] sanitizing wipes used by the facility, dated
2023, indicated, Some organisms are removed from the surface by thoroughly wiping the surface with the
wipe. Most remaining organisms are killed within two (2) minutes by exposure to the liquid in the wipe .
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain its Infection Prevention
and Control Program for a census of 137, when:
1. Isolation precautions (measures taken to prevent spread of infection) were not implemented timely for
Resident 68; and,
2. The facility did not ensure glucometers were cleaned and sanitized.
These failures had the potential for cross contamination, negatively impacting the health and well-being of
residents residing in the facility.
Findings:
1a. A review of Resident 68's admission Record indicated Resident 68 was admitted to the facility in 2020
with diagnoses which included diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body
