Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure two of 35 sampled residents
(Resident 2 and Resident 27) were treated with dignity, privacy and respect when: 1. Two staff members,
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA ) 10 and CNA 11 did not protect Resident 2's privacy by leaving the room
door and privacy curtain open while providing care, which allowed care activities to be seen by others
passing by the room, and2. Two staff members, licensed nurse (LN) 1 and certified nursing assistant (CNA)
1 called Resident 27 a feeder (a derogatory term used to describe someone who requires assistance with
meals).This failure had the potential to negatively impact on Resident 2's and Resident 27's dignity and
feelings of self-worth and could cause emotional discomfort to Resident 2 and Resident 27.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 2's admission Record, indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses including unspecified dementia (affects the person's ability to remember, think clearly, and
understand daily activities), depression, schizoaffective disorders (condition that affects a person's thinking,
mood, and behavior, causing problems with reality and emotions), and contracture left knee (the left knee is
stiff and hard to move).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 12:23 PM with LN 8 by the room door in
Resident 1's room, LN 8 stated that CNA 10 and CNA 11 were providing personal care to Resident 2
without maintaining privacy because the room door and privacy curtain were left open. LN 8 stated that the
room door and privacy curtain should be closed while providing care to prevent others passing by from
seeing care activities. LN 8 further stated that providing care without privacy could affect a resident's
self-esteem and dignity.
During an interview on 12/16/25 at 12:32 PM, CNA 10 stated that she provided care to Resident 2. CNA 10
stated that she repositioned Resident 2, adjusted the resident's clothing, and asked CNA 11 to assist
pulling Resident 2 up in bed. CNA 10 stated that she should have closed the privacy curtain to provide
privacy while Resident 2 was receiving care.
During an interview on 12/18/25 at 10:24 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated that the staff
should close the privacy curtain or room door when providing care, such as changing clothes or
repositioning. The ADON further stated that not closing the privacy curtain or room door while providing
care was a dignity issue because it could reveal Resident 2's limited mobility to others.
During an interview on 12/18/25 at 1:18 Pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that staff should ensure
privacy by closing the privacy curtain or the room door when providing care, such as

Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accommodate the needs of four out
of 35 sampled residents (Resident 45, Resident 52, Resident 93 and Resident 149) when Resident 45,
Resident 52, Resident 93 and Resident 149's call light (device used to contact staff for assistance) were not
within their reach.This deficient practice placed Resident 45, Resident 52, Resident 93 and Resident 149 at
increased risk for unmet care needs, delayed staff response, and potential for accidents or injury.Findings:
Review of Resident 45's admission Record indicated, Resident 45 was admitted to the facility with a
diagnosis including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction (paralysis or weakness on one
side of the body caused by a stroke), atrial fibrillation (the most common type of irregular heartbeat
(arrhythmia), where the heart's upper chambers quiver chaotically instead of beating effectively, causing an
irregular, often rapid pulse. This poor coordination can lead to fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, shortness of
breath, and chest pain, and significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart failure), aphasia (a language
disorder from brain damage (often stroke/injury) that impairs speaking), and osteoarthritis (condition
causing pain and stiffness within the joints) left wrist.During a concurrent observation and interview on
12/16/25 at 12:42 PM with Resident 45 in Resident 45's room, Resident 45 was sitting in her wheelchair
and Resident 45's call light was observed hanging from the right-side bed rail down to the bed frame.
Resident 45 stated the call light was not within reach and she could not call staff if she needed help.During
a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 12:45 PM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5
in Resident 45's room, CNA 5 stated that Resident 45's call light was not within reach because it was on
Resident 45's bed. CNA 5 stated call light should have been within reach of Resident 45. CNA 5 further
stated that Resident 45 could have fallen when trying to reach for her call light to ask for help. Review of
Resident 52's admission Record indicated, Resident 52 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis
including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(chronic lung disease that causes breathing difficulty, shortness of breath, coughing, and reduced activity
tolerance), congestive heart failure (chronic heart condition that causes shortness of breath, fatigue, and
reduced activity tolerance), adult failure to thrive (unintentional weight loss with physical and functional
decline), and unspecified mood disorder (mental health condition that affects a person's mood, emotions,
and daily functioning).During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 2:49 PM with Resident
52 in Resident 52's room, Resident 52's call light was observed hanging from the right-side bed rail down to
the bed frame. Resident 52 stated that if he needed help, staff could not come right away because he could
not reach the call light to call for help.During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 2:54
PM with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 in Resident 52's room, LN 2 stated that Resident 52's call light was not
within reach because it was hanging from the bed rail down to the right side of the bed frame. LN 2 further
stated that Resident 52 could be at risk for a fall if he could not use his call light to ask for help, as he might
perform task without assistance. Review of Resident 93's admission Record indicated, Resident 93 was
admitted to the facility with a diagnosis including early onset cerebellar ataxia (condition that begins at a
young age and causes problems with balance, coordination, and movement), dysphagia (difficulty or
trouble swallowing), glaucoma (eye disease that damages the nerve that helps you see and can slowly
cause vision loss) , major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and palliative care (care that focuses on
comfort and relief from symptoms during serious illness).During a concurrent observation and interview on
12/16/25 at 10:45 AM with Resident 93 in Resident 93's room, Resident 93's call light was observed not in
bed and not within reach of Resident 93. Resident 93 stated that she could not find

the call light, which she used to ask for help.During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at
10:53 AM with LN 2 in Resident 93's room, LN 2 stated that Resident 93's call light was stuck on the bed
frame between the headboards. LN2 stated that if residents could not reach or use the call light to ask for
help, residents would be at risk for falls, injury, and unmet needs. LN 2 further stated that Resident 93 was
on hospice care (care for people who are very sick and not expected to get better, with the goal of comfort
rather than cure), and lack of access to call light could delay comfort measures for Resident 93. Review of
Resident 149's admission Record indicated, Resident 149 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis
including, spinal stenosis (the narrowing of spaces within your spine, putting pressure on the spinal cord
and nerves, causing pain, numbness, cramping, or weakness, often in the back, neck, arms, or legs),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ((COPD) is an ongoing lung condition caused by damage to the
lungs. The damage results in swelling and irritation, also called inflammation, inside the airways that limit
airflow into and out of the lungs. This limited airflow is known as obstruction. Symptoms include trouble
breathing), atrial fibrillation, pain in left hip and pain in leg.During a concurrent observation and interview on
12/16/25 at 11:32 AM with Resident 149 in Resident 149's room, Resident 149 was sitting in his wheelchair
and Resident 149's call light was observed hanging from the bedside top drawer. Resident 149 stated the
call light was not within reach and he could not call staff if he needed help. Resident 149 further stated he
would not be able to call for help if he was having problems and unable to breathe.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 11:33 AM with CNA 4 in Resident 149's room, CNA 4 stated the
call light for resident 149 was hanging from Resident 149's bedside top drawer. CNA 4 stated call light
should be within reach of Resident 149. CNA 4 further stated Resident 149 could have fallen and hurt his
arm when reaching for his call light to call for help. During an interview on 12/27/25 at 3:41 PM with LN 5,
LN 5 stated all residents should have call light within reach. LN 5 stated when call light was within reach,
residents could alert staff in case of an emergency. LN 5 stated the risk of not having call light within reach
of resident was resident could have had a fall when trying to reach for a call light. During a record review of
Resident 45's Care Plan, in the section titled focus initiated on 9/12/25, indicated, .ADL Self Care

experience delayed assistance, unmet needs, lack of care, and increased risk for accidents and skin
issues. During an interview on 12/19/25 at 9:29 AM with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated all

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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who lacked the capacity
to make medical decisions (the ability to understand medical information and make informed choices about
healthcare) had an appropriate legal representative (a person legally authorized to make decisions for
someone who cannot decide for themselves) to participate in healthcare decisions, when the facility failed
to initiate a timely referral for a representative for one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 9) who was
identified as lacking decision-making capacity, had no family, no Power of Attorney (POA, a person you
choose to make decisions for you if you are unable to do so), while being listed as her own Responsible
Party (RP, indicating the resident is considered able to make her own decisions, sign paper work, and
consent to treatments and care decisions).This failure resulted in medical decision-making documents,
including a Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a medical form that states what kind of
life-saving treatment a person wants if they get very sick), being completed without verified informed
consent and placed the resident at risk for delays, omissions, or inappropriate medical
care.FINDINGS:During observation and an attempted interview of Resident 9 on 12/17/25 at 8:16 AM,
Resident 9 was observed sitting up in bed and eating breakfast independently. During the attempted
interview, Resident 9 was unable to answer simple questions.During an attempted interview on 12/17/25 at
8:30 AM with Resident 9's friend listed as Emergency Contact #1, the individual could not be reached.A
review of the document titled, Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment, signed by the physician on
11/1/22, under Section D (Information and Signatures) revealed the following: The document did not
indicate with whom the document was discussed The document did not clearly identify who signed the form
The document did not indicate the date the document was signed During a concurrent interview and record
review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/18/25 at 7:40 AM, the DON verified the following: Resident
9 does not have the capacity to make medical decisions, as indicated in the document titled EXT
REFERRAL SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, dated 10/26/22. Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory,
thinking, and daily functioning), Dementia (a condition affecting memory, reasoning, and the ability to
perform everyday activities), and PTSD (Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder, a mental health condition where
someone feels stressed or fearful long after a terrifying event). Resident 9 does not have the mental
capacity to make healthcare decisions, as indicated in the document titled, Order Listing Report, dated
10/31/22 Resident 9 was listed as her own Responsible Party as documented on her undated admission
RECORD Resident 9 does not have family or legal representative on record, and no conservatorship or
alternate legal authorization has been obtainedDuring the same concurrent interview and record review, the
DON stated that because Resident 9 lacked the capacity to make medical decisions since the admission
date and was listed as her own RP, the facility should have initiated a referral under the Epple Act (allows
doctors to make necessary decisions for a patient who cannot decide for themselves and has no legal
decision-maker) at the time of admission to address the resident's care needs. The DON further stated that
the Epple Act process was no longer in use and had been replaced by CAPRIS (California Patient
Representative Information System, a secure web-based system used to obtain a representative for
residents who lack decision-making capacity, have no family and have no POA, guardian [a person legally
appointed by the court to make decisions for someone who cannot make decisions for themselves] or

decisions]). The DON stated that

CAPRIS allowed the facility to obtain timely consents needed for medical interventions, including behavioral
health treatment, stating, .it is like a conservator but faster, so we can provide proper care. The DON stated
the facility was currently auditing residents who lack decision-making capacity and/or family representation
due to turnover within the Social Services Department and that facility would contact CAPRIS immediately
to correct the POLST for Resident 9. The DON further stated that without a conservator or authorized
representative, the facility was unable to make medical decisions on behalf of Resident 9, which placed the
resident at risk for delays or omissions in appropriate care.During a concurrent record review and interview
with the DON on 12/19/25 at 7:11 AM, the DON verified that Resident 9 did not have a Power of
Attorney.During an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 12/19/25 AT 11:07 AM, the SSD
stated that when a resident lacked the mental capacity to make healthcare decisions and did not have a
Power of Attorney, the Social Services Department was responsible for initiating the conservatorship
process. The SSD stated that residents without capacity and without a conservator were at risk for inability
to make informed decisions, unmet needs, potential neglect, and compromised safety. The SSD further
stated her expectation was that an interdisciplinary team meeting (a group of different healthcare
professionals meeting together to discuss about a patient and agree on the best plan of care) would be
held to discuss Resident 9's case and determine the next steps.During an interview with the DON on
12/19/25 at 11:51 AM, the DON stated that when a resident lacked the mental capacity and had no family
or legal representative, the social Services Department was responsible for pursuing conservatorship. The
DON started that while conservatorship was pending, the facility must coordinate with CAPRIS to obtain
immediate consents necessary to provide care.A review of the facility's policy titled Resident
Representative, revised on 2/21, the policy indicated, .If the resident is determined to be incompetent under
the laws of the State by a court of competent jurisdiction, the rights of the resident will devolve to and will
be exercised by the resident representative appointed to act on the resident's behalf.The facility will treat
the decisions of a resident representative as the decisions of the resident to the extent required by the
court or authorized by the resident (in accordance with the applicable laws).Documentation designating that
the representative has been delegated the necessary authority to exercise the resident's rights for
decision-making issues is obtained by the director of nursing or designee.A review of the facility's policy
titled Social Services, revised on 10/10, the policy indicated, .Our facility provides medically-related social
services to assure that each resident can attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, or
psychosocial well-being.3(b) & (j). Factors that have a potentially negative effect on psychosocial
functioning include: The lack of family/social support system.legal services needs. 4 (a) & (b) The Social
services department is responsible for: Obtaining pertinent social data about personal and family
problems.identifying individual social and emotional needs.A review of the facility's policy titled Advance
Directives, revised on 9/22, the policy indicated, .The resident has the right to formulate an advance
directive, including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment. Advance directives are
honored in accordance with state law and facility policy.Health care decision-making capacity refers to
possessing the ability (as defined by State law) to make decisions regarding health care and related
treatment choice.Legal Representative.a person designated and authorized by an advance directive or
state law to make treatment decisions for another person in the event the other person becomes unable to

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 35 sampled
residents' (Resident 3) PRN (as needed) order for Ativan (a medication used reduce anxiousness) did not
exceed 14 days without a documented clinical rationale for extending the medication timeframe order.This
failure placed Resident 3 at increased risk for adverse outcomes, including over-sedation, falls, and the
potential use of a chemical restraint (a medication used to control a person's behavior or restrict their
freedom of movement for reasons other than a standard treatment).Findings:Findings:During a review of
Resident 3's admission RECORD, the record indicated Resident 3's diagnosis included anxiety (feeling of
fear, nervousness or restlessness).A review of Resident 3's Order Listing Report, dated 12/1/25, indicated,
.Ativan Oral Tablet 0.5 MG [milligram - unit of measurement] (Lorazepam) Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6
hours as needed for Anxiety m/b [manifested by] severe restlessness for 30 days aeb [as evidenced by]
constant moving aimlessly.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 7:40 AM with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON confirmed that the PRN Ativan order had been written for a 30-day
duration. The DON stated that the facility typically applied a 14-day stop date for PRN psychotropic (drug
that affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings or behavior)
medications. The DON stated that if a physician determined continued use of the PRN medication was
clinically necessary, the physician would write the order for up to 90 days, provided there was a
documented clinical justification.During a follow up concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/25 at
10:58 AM with the DON, the document titled, Progress Note, dated 12/18/25 was reviewed. The DON
stated that after the Department identified the PRN medication order had been extended past the 14 days,
the DON requested that the physician document the justification for the extension of the medication in
Resident 3's medical record. The DON further stated that no previous clinical justification was available in
Resident 3's medical record.A review if the facility's policy titled, Psychotropic Medication Use, dated 7/22,
the policy indicated .PRN orders for psychotropic medication are limited to 14 days. (1) For psychotropic
medications that are NOT antipsychotics: If the prescriber or attending physician believes it is appropriate to
extend the PRN beyond 14 days, he or she will document the rationale for extending the use and include
the duration for the PRN order.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident 71), in a sample of 35
residents, had person-centered care plans (a personalized document outlining an individual's health,
support, and personal needs, detailing what care is required, how it will be given (tasks, timing, by whom),
and the goals, preferences, and choices of the person receiving it, ensuring consistent, high-quality,
person-centered support) when care plans for Resident 71's diagnoses of diabetes and anxiety were not
developed and implemented.This failure had the potential for health care needs to go unrecognized,
negatively affecting Resident 71's health, well-being, and psychosocial health and well-being. Findings:A
review of Resident 71's clinical record titled, admission RECORD, (contains clinical and demographic data)
indicated Resident 71 was admitted on [DATE] to the facility with diagnoses which included diabetes
(problems regulating blood sugar) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition where you experience
excessive, persistent worry, fear, or nervousness that doesn't go away and interferes with daily life, causing
physical symptoms like a racing heart, trouble concentrating, and sleep issues, making it hard to control
and enjoy everyday activities).A review of Resident 71's care plans indicated the facility had not developed
and implemented care plans for Resident 71's diagnoses of diabetes and anxiety.A review of Resident 71's
clinical document, untitled, containing physician orders indicated, . busPIRone [a medication used to treat
anxiety] . every 12 hours for ANXIETY . M/B [manifested by] INABILITY TO RELAX .During an interview
with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 12/18/25 at 1:19 PM, the DSD confirmed there was not a
care plan developed and implemented for Resident 71's diagnosis of anxiety. The DSD explained the
importance of having care plans in place was to ensure licensed nurses were aware of the resident's care
plan for specific health issues. The DSD further explained without a care plan in place the resident may not
get appropriate care.A review of Resident 71's clinical document, untitled, containing physician orders
indicated, . Insulin Lispro [a rapid-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar] three times a day for
DIABETES . and, . Insulin Lispro . Inject as per sliding scale [amount of insulin to inject based on blood
sugar level] three times a day for DIABETES .During an interview with the DSD on 12/18/25 at 1:19 PM, the
DSD confirmed there was not a care plan developed and implemented for Resident 71's diagnosis of
diabetes. The DSD explained licensed nurses need to know how to care for a person with diabetes. The
DSD further explained care plans are the roadmap on how to care for a resident with diabetes. The DSD
explained the risk of Resident 71 not having a diabetic care plan in place was staff would not be aware of
and understand specific interventions and it could cause Resident 71 to experience adverse physical
effects.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/19/25 at 10:25 AM, the DON stated
Resident 71's diabetic and anxiety care plans should have been developed and implemented on admit. The
DON explained the risk to Resident 71 not having a diabetic care plan would be if she had a change in
condition related to diabetes staff would not be able to provide appropriate care. The DON further explained
the risk to Resident 71 not having an anxiety care plan in place is staff would not be aware of interventions
to utilize when Resident 71 was having anxiety.A review of the facility policy titled, Care Plans,
Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised 3/2022, indicated, . A comprehensive person-centered care plan
that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and
functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident . The comprehensive, person-centered

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a care plan (a personalized document
that outlines a person's health conditions, specific needs, goals, and the actions required to manage their
well-being, ensuring consistent, coordinated, and effective support from caregivers or healthcare teams,
helping everyone involved stay organized and focused on the individual's quality of life) was developed and
revised for 2 of 35 sampled residents (Resident 9 and Resident 126), when: 1. A care plan was not
developed for Resident 9 with a diagnosis of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health
condition that can happen after someone experiences or witness a traumatic event such as violence, abuse
war, serious accidents or disasters),2. A care plan was not developed for Resident 126's speech device (A
battery-operated device held to the neck or placed in the mouth via a tube; it creates vibrations that are
shaped into speech by the mouth, tongue, and lips).These failures had the potential for unmet care needs
for Resident 9 and Resident 126. Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/18/25 at 7:40
AM, the DON reviewed Resident 9's undated admission RECORD, the EXT [external] REFERRAL
SKILLED NURSING FACILITY, dated 10/26/22, and the resident's care plans. The DON confirmed that the
physician order included PTSD on Resident 9's active problem list. The DON verified that the onset date of
the resident's PTSD diagnosis was 10/26/22. The DON stated the facility did not have a care plan specific
to PTSD until 12/17/25, thereby potentially delaying appropriate care for Resident 9 who lacked the
capacity to make healthcare decisions.
During an interview with the DON on 12/18/24 AT 4:15 PM, The DON stated the facility did not have Trauma
Screening Tool when the facility was aware of Resident 9's PTSD diagnosis on 10/28/22.
During an interview with the DON on 12/19/25 at 7:11 AM, the DON stated the facility did not have a
comprehensive assessment for PTSD for Resident 9 since 10/28/22.
A review of the facility's policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised on 3/22, the
policy indicated .2. The comprehensive person-centered care plan is developed within seven (7) days of the
completion of the required MDS assessment (Admission, Annual or Significant Change in Status), and no
more than 21 days after admission.3. The care plan intervention are derived from a thorough analysis of the
information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment.8. Services provided for or arranged by the
facility and outlined in the comprehensive care plan are.c. trauma-informed.11. Assessment of residents are
ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the resident and the residents' condition change.
A review of the facility's policy titled Trauma Informed Care and Culturally Competent Care revised on 8/22,

implemented for Resident 126's speech device until 12/17/25. LN 5 stated Resident 126 used his speech
device on 11/19/25 when LN 5 did MDS assessment ((Minimum Data Set) assessment is a mandatory,
standardized tool used in U.S. skilled nursing facilities to comprehensively evaluate residents' health,
functional abilities, and needs for care planning, quality improvement) for Resident 126. LN 5 stated the risk
of not having speech device care plan was that staff would not know how the speech device functioned and
how to take care of the speech device. LN 5 further stated Resident 126 would not be able to communicate
with staff if the speech device stopped functioning. LN 5 stated staff would not know whether Resident 126
could take the speech device inside shower room and how to safely handle the speech device.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure three of 35 sampled residents had
water or fluids available when,Resident 52 did not have water or fluids available at the bedsideResident 87
did not have water or fluids available at the bedsideResident 99 did not have water or fluids available at the
bedsideThese failures had the potential to place Resident 52, Resident 87, and Resident 99 at risk for
dehydration (when the body does not get enough fluids to function properly), falls, and/or
chocking.Findings: 1.During a review of Resident 52's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 52
was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included adult failure to thrive (a decline in overall health
due to poor nutrition or fluid intake) and tubule-interstitial nephritis (a kidney condition in which the kidneys
become irritated and inflamed, making it harder to clean the blood and balance fluids.)During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 2:49 PM with Resident 52 in Resident 52's room, Resident 52
was lying in bed with a water pitcher placed on the nightstand table far from the resident and not within
reach. Resident 52 stated that when he needed water, water was not readily available. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 2:54 PM with the Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 in Resident 52's room,
LN 2 checked Resident 52's water pitcher located on the nightstand table and found it empty. LN 2 stated
that when water was not readily available, Resident 52 was at risk for dehydration. 2. During a review of
Resident 87's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 87 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease (long term kidney damage that makes it difficult for the
kidneys to clean the blood and balance fluids) and a history of falling. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 12/16/25 at 11:20 AM with the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 10 in Resident 87's room,
Resident 87 was lying in bed without a water pitcher or fluids at the bedside. CNA 10 stated that Resident
87 did not have water readily available. CNA 10 stated that because Resident 87 was on thickened fluids
(drinks that are made thicker, so they are easier and safer to swallow for people with swallowing problems),
Resident 87 had to ask staff for water. CNA 10 stated that the CNAs had to ask nurses for thickening
mixtures before they provided thicken fluids to residents on thickened fluids. CNA 10 further stated that this
process delayed resident's access to water. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at
11:51 AM with Resident 87 in Resident 87's room, Resident 87 was lying in bed without water at the
bedside. Resident 87 stated that each time he needed water to drink, it was not readily available because
staff could not come right away to provide it.3. During a review of Resident 99's admission Record, the
record indicated Resident 99 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease
(a brain condition that slowly affects memory, thinking, and the ability to care for oneself) and diverticulosis
of large intestine (condition where small pouches form in the colon and are often prevented with adequate
fiber and fluid intake). During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 10:58 AM with
Resident 99 in Resident 99's room, Resident 99 was lying in bed without a water pitcher or fluids at the
bedside. Resident 99 stated that water was not readily available and each time water was needed,
Resident 99 had to ask staff and wait for it to be provided. During a concurrent observation and interview
on 12/16/25 at 11:08 AM with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 in Resident 99's room, LN 2 stated that there was no
water at Resident 99's bedside. LN 2 further stated that when residents could not find water at the bedside,
they attempted to get up on their own, placing them at risk for falls. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 12/16/25 at 11:13 AM with LN 2, Resident 99's Care Plan, initiated on 11/18/22 was

Review of Resident 72's Medication Administration Record for the month of 12/25, did not indicate any
mouth wash or Magic Mouthwash was ordered or administered for Resident 72.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/25 at 2:00 p.m., Resident 72 stated about a month
ago the facility sent her to the hospital and while she was there, she received a mouth wash called, magic
mouthwash, that helped numb her gums so she could tolerate eating food. Resident 72 stated she had not
received the mouthwash at the facility and she had asked several staff members about the mouthwash and
had verbalized to staff that the mouthwash helped her control the mouth pain. Resident 72 stated because
she was missing teeth and her gums hurt, she was only able to eat certain foods. Resident 72 explained
because of her mouth pain she received the same food every day. Resident 72 stated she wanted and
needed new teeth because her teeth were missing or broken. Resident 72 stated she saw a dentist about a
month ago in the facility and they told her they needed authorization from the insurance company to pull
her teeth, and she had not received a status update.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 12:40 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 4,
Resident 72's clinical record titled, Physician Progress Note, dated 11/25/25, written by Nurse Practitioner
(NP) 1 was reviewed. LN 4 stated she was aware Resident 72 had used mouthwash while she was recently
in the hospital. LN 4 stated Resident 72 had asked her about the mouthwash, and she told her she would
look into her orders but could not locate an order for a mouthwash. LN 4 stated Resident 72 had also
inquired about the mouth wash with another nurse and LN 4 had thought that nurse would follow up. LN 4
stated she did not see anything in Resident 72's medical chart regarding new orders and acknowledged
she had not called the doctor regarding the mouthwash. LN 4 stated she did not review Resident 72's
progress notes in the medical record. During a record review of Resident 72's clinical record, LN 4
acknowledged there was a progress note written by the NP 1 regarding Resident 72's mouth pain and her
order for magic mouthwash. LN 4 stated it had been at least a month since the progress note regarding the
mouth wash was written. LN 4 acknowledged there was an order for the magic mouthwash and stated she
was not sure why it was not on Resident 72's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a document that
contains medications ordered, given or held).
During a joint concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 1:07 p.m., with the Social Services
Director (SSD) and the Social Services Assistant (SSA), the facility's Oral Health Care list, was reviewed.
The SSD stated she was not familiar with Resident 72's plan of care and the Social Service Scheduler
usually made the consultation appointments. The SSD and SSA stated they both were not aware of the
consultation request ordered for Resident 72 that addressed a dental consultation for mouth pain. Through
record review of Resident 72's clinical record, the SSD stated she could not locate a Social Services (SS)
note regarding the scheduling of a dental consultation. The SSD stated the expectation was there should
have been notes in the electronic medical records from SS regarding appointments that were received and
scheduled. The SSA stated the dentist the facility used had come to the facility for their monthly visit on
12/11/25 and had performed resident examinations. Through record review of the facility's Oral Health Care
list, the SSA confirmed Resident 72 was not on the list of residents scheduled to be seen nor was she
examined by the dentist that day. The SSA stated had they had the consultation request she would have
been seen on 12/11/25 for her dental needs. The SSD confirmed Resident 72's dental consultation ordered
by the MD on 11/25/25 due to mouth pain. The SSD stated her expectation was the appointment should
have been followed up on and scheduled within a week. The SSD stated follow up was important due to
Resident 72's mouth pain.
During an interview on 12/18/25 at 4:25 p.m., LN 7 stated she was familiar with Resident 72 and Resident
72 had lived in the facility for about a year. LN 7 stated Resident 72 had complained to her about her
broken teeth, her tooth pain, and her gum pain. LN 7

stated she had given the magic mouthwash to other residents before, and the mouthwash came from the
pharmacy. LN 7 stated the mouthwash was for Resident 72's mouth sores and helped alleviate pain. LN 7
stated the risk to Resident 72 that she did not receive the ordered mouth wash medication was worsening
pain, eating less, and possible weight loss due to her nutritional intake being compromised. LN 7 stated
regarding Resident 72 consult for the dentist, appointments were scheduled by Social Services (SS). LN 7
stated once the order was received from the doctor then the LN made SS aware through printing the order
out and slipping the paper under the SS office door or they verbally told SS. LN 7 stated that since she
worked the evening shift, she would also endorse the order to the next shift nurse for them to follow up. LN
7 stated there should have been a progress note written in the resident's electronic clinical record of
nursing staff informing SS of the ordered dental consult. Through a record review of Resident 72's progress
notes, LN 7 acknowledged there was no communication note written of a dental consult being ordered. LN
7 stated the risk to Resident 7 for her dental consultation not being followed up on was Resident 72
experiencing worsening pain and symptoms.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 5:04 p.m., with the Director of Nurses
(DON), Resident 72's clinical record was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 72's mouthwash order was
dated 11/25/25 and the order required an LN to go into the electronic medical record and revise the order
for it to appear on Resident 72's MAR. The DON explained since this was not completed the Magic
Mouthwash order never went to the pharmacy to fill. The DON stated her expectation was once the doctor
or nurse practitioner wrote a new order, the LN reviewed and updated the order, so it populated in the
resident's MAR. The DON stated if a resident asked for medication and/or mouthwash for mouth pain, the
nurse should have followed up with the doctor and/or checked the resident's orders. The DON stated the
risk for the resident if this was not done was that the resident would not get medication and could have
worsening pain and there was a risk of not eating or lack of nutrition due to the continued mouth pain. The
DON acknowledged the order for a dental consult written by the NP and stated Resident 72 was most likely
seen by the NP for her mouth pain, but nursing missed the order. The DON stated her expectation was
Resident 72's order be carried out timely. The DON stated the risk of Resident 72's order not being
addressed was her symptoms worsening and continued pain for the resident since the appointment had not
been scheduled. The DON stated her expectation was Resident 72 should have been on the dentist consult
list for the dentist's visit to the facility that occurred on 12/11/25. The DON stated the nurse should have
notified social services of the dental appointment order. The DON stated the process for the new orders
was that medical records would audit for new orders and send them to the nurses to review and they should
have caught the new order. The DON stated her expectation was once the nurse received the order and
they then notified the appropriate department or person that would be taking care of scheduling the
appointment, it should have been documented in Resident 72's health record. The DON stated the risk for
the consultation not being scheduled timely and/or being missed was the resident could have been in
continuous pain, and the issue was not being addressed.
During an interview on 12/19/25 at 9:33 a.m., Resident 72 stated her teeth had broken off at the gumline.
Resident 72 stated it was upsetting to her because she was now on a soft food diet and eating foods with
pudding texture and the foods stuck to her throat, were tasteless, and were not a pleasing texture. Resident
72 stated her preference was to eat a regular diet. Resident 72 stated she was emotional and upset
because she wanted her mouth issues taken care of and was concerned that she could get mouth
infections and be back in the hospital.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/19/25 at 10:05 a.m., with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 72's Pain Assessment, completed on 11/17/25; Resident 72's care plan, dated

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that informed consent
(explaining the risks, benefits, and choices to the resident or their representative [someone authorized to
act on behalf of a resident]) for the use of bed rails (adjustable metal or plastic bars along the sides of a
hospital bed) was obtained from the appropriate resident representative for one of 35 sampled residents
(Resident 107), when the informed consent was obtained from Resident 107, who lacked decision-making
capacity.This failure resulted in Resident 107's representative not being able to make an informed choice
regarding the use of bed rails and placed Resident 107 at risk of entrapment (when a resident gets caught,
trapped, or entangled in the spaces within or around the bed rails, mattress, or the bed frame) injury, or
restraint (something that keeps a resident from free movement).Findings: During a review of Resident 107's
admission Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included
dementia, (condition that causes memory loss, confusion, and trouble thinking or making decisions)
schizophrenia, (mental illness that can cause confusion, unusual thoughts, or seeing or hearing things that
are not real) and major depressive disorder. Review of Resident 107's doctor's order titled, Order Details,
dated 11/1/25, indicated, .Order Summary: Bedrail: Left Side Grab bar.During a concurrent observation and
interview on 12/16/25 at 11:24 AM with Resident 107 in Resident 107's room, Resident 107 had a bed rail
on the left side of the bed. Resident 107 stated that he could not remember if staff members explained the
pros and cons of a bed rail.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/25 at 2:21 PM with
Licensed Nurse (LN) 6, Resident 107's informed consent for bed rails titled, BED RAIL
OBSERVATION/ASSESSMENT (WGC)-V3, dated 11/1/25 and Resident 107' s doctor's order titled, Order
Listing Report, dated 12/31/24 were reviewed. The BED RAIL OBSERVATION/ASSESSMENT (WGC)-V3
indicated that Resident 107 had signed the informed consent for the use of bed rails on 11/1/25. Resident
107's Order Listing Report indicated, MD [Medical Doctor] determines that [Resident 107] does NOT have
the Mental Capacity to make Healthcare decisions. LN 6 stated that Resident 107's informed consent for
bed rails was invalid because Resident 107 lacked decision-making capacity and was not fully alert to
understand the safety issues related to bed rails. During a concurrent interview and record review on
12/18/25 at 11:45 AM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 107's BIMS [Brief Interview
for Mental Status: an assessment of the resident's thinking and memory] TEMPORARY WORKSHEET.,
dated 11/26/25 was reviewed. The BIMS TEMPORARY WORKSHEET. indicated that Resident 107 BIMS
score was 11 which indicated Resident 107 had moderately impaired cognition (13-15 = Intact, 8-12 =
Moderate, 0-7 = Severe). The ADON stated that Resident 107 had a BIMS score of 11, which showed
moderate cognitive impairment, and that Resident 107 did not have the capacity to make healthcare
decisions. The ADON stated that Resident 107 could not understand the risks of using a bed rail. The
ADON stated that informed consent should have been signed by the resident's representative, not the
resident, and that the informed consent for the bed rail was not valid. ADON further stated that the use of a
bed rail for Resident 107 was a safety concern and increased risk of entrapment.During an interview on
12/18/25 at 1:23 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that an informed consent for bed
rail use should have been signed by the family or resident's representative because Resident 107 lacked
the capacity to make healthcare decisions and did not understand the risks of bedrails, including
entrapment. The DON further stated that any consent signed by a resident without capacity was not valid.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and
services to meet the dental health needs for one of thirty-five sampled residents (Resident 72), when
Resident 72's mouth wash and dental consult ordered on 11/25/25 were not carried out timely. This
deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 72's dental health needs and could
contribute to unnecessary pain and suffering.Findings:Review of Resident 72's admission RECORD,
indicated Resident 72 was initially admitted to the facility in the spring of 2025, with diagnosis including but
not limited to acute and chronic respiratory failure (lung disease often requiring long-term oxygen therapy),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (long-term lung condition that blocks airflow and can make it hard to
breath), dependence on supplemental oxygen, depression (serious mood disorder causing persistent
sadness, loss of interest in activities), and anxiety disorder (mental health condition marked by intense,

could tolerate eating food. Resident 72 stated she was not receiving the mouthwash at the facility and she
had asked several staff members about receiving the mouthwash and had told them it helped her with the
pain in her mouth. Resident 72 further explained she still had not received the mouthwash and was in a lot
of mouth pain. Resident 72 stated because of her missing teeth and her

gums hurting she was only able to eat certain foods. Resident 72 explained because of her mouth pain she
gets same food every day.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 12:40 a.m.,
Licensed Nurse 4 stated she was aware Resident 72 was using mouthwash while she was recently in the
hospital. LN 4 stated Resident 72 had asked her about the mouthwash, and she told her she would look
into her orders but could not locate an order for a mouthwash. LN 4 stated Resident 72 had also inquired
about the mouth wash with another nurse and LN 4 had thought that nurse would follow up. LN 4 stated she
did not see anything in Resident 72's medical chart regarding new orders and acknowledged she did not
call the doctor regarding the mouthwash. LN 4 stated she does not usually look at resident's progress notes
in their medical record. During a record review of Resident 72's clinical record, LN 4 acknowledged there
was a progress note written by the NP 1 regarding Resident 72's mouth pain and her order for magic
mouthwash. LN 4 stated she was per diem [on call] and she would need to contact the doctor to get the
order, and the NP could have placed the order for the mouthwash. LN 4 stated it had been at least a month
since the progress note regarding the mouth wash. Through a record review of Resident 72's orders, LN 4
acknowledged the order for the magic mouthwash and stated she was not sure why it was not on Resident
72's MAR.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 1:07 p.m., with the Social
Services Director (SSD) and the Social Services Assistant (SSA), the SSD stated she was not familiar with
Resident 72 and regarding scheduling consultation appointments the Social Service Scheduler usually
makes the appointments, and she was not working that day. The SSD and SSA stated they both were not
aware of the two consultation requests ordered for Resident 72 addressing a dental consult for mouth pain
and abdominal surgeon consult. Through record review of Resident 72's clinical record, the SSD stated she
could not locate a SS note regarding the scheduling of dental or abdominal surgeon consults. The SSD
stated the expectation was there should be notes in electronic medical records from SS regarding receiving
and scheduling of appointments. The SSA stated the dentist the facility uses had come to the facility for
their monthly visit on 12/11/25 and had performed resident examinations. Through record review of the
facility's Oral Health Care list, the SSA confirmed Resident 72 was not on the list of residents scheduled to
be seen nor was she examined by the dentist that day. The SSA stated had they had the consultation
request she would have been seen on 12/11/25. The SSD confirmed Resident 72's dental consult ordered
by the MD on 11/25/25 due to mouth pain. The SSD stated her expectation was within a week for sure the
appointment should have been followed up on and scheduled. The SSD stated she would send an email
now to the dentist and this was important due to Resident 72's mouth pain. The SSD stated she would be
calling the dentist Resident 72 had seen previously while in house (facility) for her progress notes as she
was not sure what the treatment plan was.During an interview on 12/18/25 at 4:25 p.m., LN 7 stated she
was familiar with Resident 72 and Resident 72 had lived in the facility for about a year. LN 7 stated Resident
72 had complained to her about her broken teeth, her tooth pain and her gum pain. LN 7 stated she was on
hold earlier with the pharmacy regarding Resident 72's magic mouthwash. Resident 72 explained she was
not able to speak with anyone from the pharmacy regarding what the holdup was on getting Resident 72
her mouth wash medication. LN 7 stated she had given the mouthwash to other residents, and the
mouthwash would come from the pharmacy. LN 7 stated the mouthwash was for Resident 72's mouth sores
and helps alleviate pain. LN 7 stated the risk to Resident 72 if she did not receive the ordered mouth wash
medication would be worsening pain, her eating less, possible weight loss due to her nutritional value
consumed being compromised. LN 7 stated regarding Resident 72 consult for the dentist, appointments
were scheduled by Social Services (SS). LN 7 stated once the order was received from the doctor then the

shift, she will also endorse the order to the next shift nurse for them to follow up. LN 7 stated there should
be a progress note written in the resident's electronic clinical record of nursing staff informing SS of the
ordered dental consult. Through a record review of Resident 72's progress notes, LN 7 acknowledged there
was no communication note written of a dental consult being ordered. LN 7 stated the risk to Resident 7 for
her abdominal surgeon and dental consult not being followed up on was Resident 72 experiencing
worsening pain and symptoms.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25 at 5:04 p.m.,
the Director of Nurses (DON) reviewed Resident 72's clinical record, the DON acknowledged the order for a
dental consult written by the NP and stated Resident 72 was most likely seen by the NP for her mouth pain
but nursing missed the order for the consult. The DON stated her expectation was Resident 72's dental
consult order be carried out timely. The DON stated the risk of Resident 72's order not being addressed
was her mouth symptoms worsening and continued pain for the resident since the appointment had not
been scheduled. The DON stated her expectation was Resident 72 should have been on dentist consult list
for the dentist's visit to the facility that occurred on 12/11/25. The DON stated the nurse should have notified
social services of the dental appointment order. The DON stated the process for new orders was that
medical records audits for new orders and sends them to the nurses to review and they should have caught
the new dental consult order. The DON stated her expectation was once the nurse receives the order and
they then notify the appropriate department or person that will be taking care of scheduling the appointment
and writes a note in the resident's chart document this. The DON stated the risk for the dental consultation
not being scheduled timely and/or being missed was the resident could be in continuous pain and the issue
not being addressed. During an interview on 12/19/25 at 9:33 a.m., Resident 72 stated social services had
just come into to her room to tell her they have an appointment scheduled for her to see an outside dentist
on 1/5/26. Resident 72 stated she needed the Magic Mouthwash for her mouth pain. Resident 72 stated
she had swelling and blistering in her mouth which had happened while she was in the hospital. Resident
72 stated she was seen in October of 2025 by the dentist who comes to the facility and they cleaned her
mouth. Resident 72 explained during that dental visit, the dentist told her she need upper dentures and
needed her bottom teeth pulled. Resident 72 further explained there was no follow up with the dentist after
that visit. Resident 72 stated she had asked the Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) about her dental status a
couple of times and did not receive any information. Resident 72 stated her teeth had broken off at the
gumline. Resident 72 stated it was upsetting to her because she was now on a soft food diet and eating
foods with pudding texture and the foods stick to her throat, were tasteless, and were a yucky texture.
Resident 72 stated her preference was to eat a regular diet. Resident 72 stated she was emotional and
upset because she wanted her mouth issues taken care of and was concerned that she could get mouth
infections and be back in the hospital.Review of facility P & P titled, Medication and Treatment Orders,

potential to lead to cross contamination (when bacteria or germs spread from one place to another) and
food borne illness (an illness that causes nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea) for the 149 residents who
receive meals from the facility kitchen. Findings:Findings:1. During the initial kitchen tour on 12/16/25 at
8:17 AM with the Registered Dietician (RD, a health professional who has special training in diet and
nutrition) in the cook's preparation area, the can opener was observed to have the chipped tip, missing
metal pieces, and a dried layer of food residue. The surroundings of the can opener had metal shavings
and a black oily substance. The RD confirmed these finding and stated the chips of metal had the potential
to get into the food that was prepared for the residents.During an interview on 12/18/25 at 4:15 PM with the
RD, the RD stated the condition of the can opener that was observed during the initial kitchen walk through
with the Department, did not meet his expectations. The RD stated his expectation was for the blade of the
can opener to be cleaned after each use, for the can opener blade to be intact, and for the can opener to
be free from food debris. The RD stated the condition the can opener placed a risk for the residents' food to
have bacteria cross contamination and physical contaminants (any foreign object, such as glass, metal,
plastic, hair, or natural debris) to be present in the food and presented a food safety hazard. During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, CAN OPENER AND BASE, dated 2023, the P&P
indicated, Proper sanitation and maintenance of the can opener and base is important to sanitary food
preparation. Metal shavings and shredding can result from a dull cutting blade and worn out cogwheel [a
rotating wheel] .The can opener should be thoroughly cleaned each work shift and, when necessary, more
frequently.Replace the blade on the can opener, as needed.During a review of the facility's P&P titled,
SANITATION, dated 2023, the P&P indicated, .The Food & [and] Nutrition Services Department shall have
equipment of the type and in the amount necessary for the proper preparation, serving and storing of
food.All equipment shall be maintained as necessary and kept in working order.All utensils, counters,
shelves, and equipment shall be kept clean, maintained in good repair and shall be free from breaks,
corrosions, open seam, cracks, and chipped areas.Employees are to alert the FNS [Food and Safety
Director] immediately to any equipment needing repair.During a review of the 2022 Food Code U.S. [United
States] Food and Drug Administration Section 4-601.11 on Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces,
Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils, the Food Code indicated, .(C) Nonfood-contact surfaces of
equipment shall be kept free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris. The objective
of cleaning focuses on the need . to remove soil from nonfood contact surfaces so that pathogenic
microorganisms will not be allowed to accumulate, and insects and rodents will not be attracted.

interview on 12/16/25 at 8:58 AM with the RD, seven of 18 large tray line pans were noted on a shelf with
water collected on the inside and at the bottom rim of the pans. The RD confirmed the pans were wet and
instructed his staff to re-wash the wet pans. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 4:15 PM with the RD, the
RD stated his expectations were for all dishes in the kitchen to be stacked and stored dry. The

RD stated the dishes were supposed to be washed, placed on a rack to air dry, and then stacked in the
assigned area. The RD stated stacked wet trays did not meet his expectations and placed the residents at
risk for developing a foodborne illness because the moisture in on the pans attracted harmful germs and
placed the resident at risk for illness. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, 3-COMPARTMENT
PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL DISHWASHING, dated 2023, indicated, .Clean and sanitize all work
surfaces. Set up area for air drying.All items are air-dried, which means no water droplets are present.3.

when he washed the dishes, there were supposed to be multiple dishwashers. DA 1 acknowledged that he
was going back and forth from a dirty area to a clean area when he washed the dishes. DA 1 stated he was
unsure why he did that but understood that he was supposed to wash his hands before going from the dirty
dishes to the clean dishes. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 4:15 PM with the RD, the RD stated his
expectation was for multiple kitchen staff to have washed the dishes; one kitchen staff for the clean side
and the other kitchen staff for the dirty side. The RD stated if a kitchen staff went from the dirty to the clean
side, his expectation was for them to remove their apron and wash their hands. The RD stated the residents
in the facility were placed at risk for developing a food borne illness (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) when safe
dishwashing practices were not maintained. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, HANDWASHING,
dated 2023, indicated, POLICY: All employees will be instructed in the proper procedure of hand
washing.Employee hands must be washed frequently in the hand washing sink or designated sink for hand

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that staff utilized appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, special gear worn to protect themselves and others from germs)
upon entering an isolation room for one of three sampled residents (Resident 37) when Licensed Nurse
(LN) 3 was observed inside a contact isolation room (a room where a sick person is kept separate and staff
use additional protective equipment, such as gloves and gowns, to prevent the spread of germs) checking
Resident 37's pulse without wearing gloves or a gown.This failure increased the risk of spreading germs to
staff, other residents and visitors in the facility.Findings:Review of Resident 37's admission RECORD,
indicated that Resident 37 was admitted to the facility with the following diagnoses including, but not limited
to, Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia (lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood to meet the
body's needs), and Pneumonia (lung infection that makes it hard to breathe).During a concurrent
observation and interview with Resident 37 on 12/16/25 at 12 PM, it was noted that a contact isolation sign
was posted outside the resident's room. Resident 37 stated that she had Pneumonia.During a concurrent
observation and interview with LN 3 on 12/17/25 at 11:14 AM, it was observed that LN 3 was inside
Resident 37's contact isolation room without wearing any PPE, including gloves or gown, while checking
the resident's pulse. During the interview, LN 3 stated that he believed Resident 37 had pneumonia and
that he entered the room to assess the resident's pulse. LN 3 acknowledged that he did not wear PPE. LN 3
stated that the risk of his actions was that he could become contaminated and potentially transmit bacteria
to other residents. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on
12/18/25 at 7:40 AM, the DON reviewed Resident 37's laboratory records and confirmed that the resident
had ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase - is a hard-to-kill germ that spreads by contact from
person to person, especially through hands, clothing, or shared equipment if proper protection was not
used) detected in her urine. The DON stated that LN 3's provision of care to Resident 37 without wearing
contact isolation PPE did not meet her expectations.During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP)
on 12/19/25 AT 9:35 AM, the IP stated that LN 3 entering Resident 37's isolation room without PPE did not
meet her expectations, as the room was designated for contact isolation and all staff were expected to
adhere to PPE requirements.A review of the facility's policy titled Isolation - Categories of
Transmission-Based Precautions revised 9/22, the policy indicated, .Transmission-based precautions are
initiated when a resident.has a laboratory confirmed infection; and is at risk of transmitting the infection to
other residents.1. Contact precautions are implemented for residents known or suspected to be infected
with microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct contact with resident or indirect contact with
environmental surfaces.7. Staff and visitors wear gloves.8. Staff and visitors wear a disposable gown upon
entering the room.A review of the facility's policy titled Personal Protective Equipment revised 10/18, the
policy indicated, .The type of PPE required for a task is based on: a. the type of transmission-based
precaution.Review of an online document published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) titled Guideline for Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of Infectious Agents in Healthcare
Settings (2007), updated on 9/2024, the guideline indicated, .II.E.2.When Contact Precautions are
used.donning of both gown and gloves upon room entry is indicated to address unintentional contact with
contaminated environmental surfaces.III.b.1 Contact Precautions.Healthcare personnel caring for patients
on Contact Precautions wear a gown and gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient
or potentially contaminated areas in the patient's environment. Donning PPE upon room entry and
discarding before exiting the patient room is done to contain pathogens.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to offer, obtain informed consent and provide
education to a resident or resident's representative (RP) about influenza (or the flu, is a contagious viral
infection of the respiratory system that can range from mild to severe, causing symptoms like fever, cough,
sore throat, muscle aches, and fatigue) vaccine for three out of five sampled residents when Resident 159,
Resident 8 and Resident 110 was not offered the flu vaccine during the flu season.These failures had the
potential for the residents and resident's responsible parties to not be fully informed about the risks and
benefits, and potential side-effects of the flu vaccine prior to receiving or declining the vaccination.Findings:
During an interview on 12/16/25, at 9:25 AM, with Resident 159, Resident 159 stated she asked for the flu
vaccine several times. Resident 159 stated she did not refuse shots (vaccines), and she always got her
shots every year for flu and pneumonia. Resident 159 stated she did not get the flu, COVID19 and
pneumonia vaccine but she had asked for it, and she was told that she needed to sign, and she asked for
the document to sign but they still did not give her the vaccine. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/18/25, at 10:48 AM, with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated they started the flu clinic
last September. Resident 110's immunization record was reviewed with the IP, indicated Resident 110
signed the consent for the flu vaccine on 5/3/25 upon admission to the facility. The IP stated Resident 110
was signed up for clinic this year back in September but on the day of vaccination, the resident decided not
to proceed with the vaccination. The IP stated she had not documented about holding off Resident 110's flu
vaccine, but it was not a refusal. The IP stated if it was not documented it was not done. Resident 8's
immunization record was reviewed with the IP, the record indicated Resident 8 received flu vaccine on
10/4/24. The IP stated she had not given the flu vaccine to Resident 8 and had not had asked for the
consent. Resident 159's immunization record was reviewed with the IP, The IP stated Resident 159 refused
all the vaccines and there was no history documented. The IP stated Resident 159 was admitted after flu
season, but for this year's flu season, she was not given the flu vaccine yet. The IP stated that the
importance getting the residents vaccinated was for preventive care. The IP stated that the facility wanted to
make sure that the residents have the option to receive the vaccine especially at this time there was high
incidence of respiratory viruses, and with the resident's age which put them in being high risk of getting
infected by the viruses. During an interview on 12/19/25, at 12:30 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON),
the DON stated if it was flu season, she expected the nurses particularly the IP to make sure immunization
was offered. The DON stated they offer the flu vaccine to the resident or the RP if the resident is not the RP.
The DON stated that the resident or the RP's decision regarding the flu vaccine should be documented,
whether they agree to receive it or not. The DON stated if the resident said to hold off the vaccine or if they
could not decide yet, the IP or the nurse needs to tell the resident that they will document refused for now
and to advised the resident to let the staff know if they already want the vaccine. The DON stated if the
resident or RP refused the vaccine, they need to document the reason for refusal. The DON stated it should
be offered to all residents. The DON stated if the vaccine was not offered to all residents, there was a
possibility that the resident would acquire flu during flu season and if they get the flu vaccine, they can still
get flu, but the risk is lesser. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Influenza Vaccine,
revised March 2022, indicated, All residents and employees who have no medical contraindications to the
vaccine will be offered the influenza vaccine annually to encourage and promote the benefits associated
with vaccinations against influenza .A resident's refusal of the vaccine shall be documented on the
informed consent for influenza vaccine .
