Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a Skilled Nursing Facility Advance
Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (SNF ABN, notice that transfers potential financial liability) to one of
three residents (Resident 30). This failure had the potential to compromise Resident 30's right to appeal
(apply for reversal of) the facility's decision to discontinue Medicare Part A services (skilled treatments paid
by Medicare). This failure also had the potential to result in Resident 30 not being informed of his payment
responsibilities to the facility after Medicare Part A services ended.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 30's medical record indicated he was admitted to the facility under Medicare Part A on
7/28/2021. The medical record further indicated Resident 30 came off Medicare Part A services on
8/3/2021, but continued living in the facility.
Review of Resident 30's SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review, filled out by the facility on
1/27/2022, indicated the facility initiated Resident 30's discharge from Medicare Part A services when
benefit days were not exhausted (the resident still had Medicare Part A days remaining). The SNF
Beneficiary Protection Notification Review further indicated the facility did not provide a SNF ABN to
Resident 30.
During an interview with the administrator (ADM) on 1/27/2022 at 3:37 p.m., he acknowledged the facility
should have provided a SNF ABN to Resident 30.
During an interview with the business office manager (BOM) on 1/27/2022 at 3:41 p.m., she acknowledged
the facility should have provided a SNF ABN to Resident 30.
The Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Form
CMS-20052, dated 2/2017, indicated the facility must provide a SNF ABN when the resident has skilled
benefit days remaining and is being discharged from Part A services and will continue living in the facility.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its own policy and procedure to report the allegations
of resident-to-resident verbal abuse of two encounters, for two (Resident 4 and Resident 44) of 17 sampled
residents to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the ombudsman and law enforcement
immediately, but not later than 2 hours when:
1.
Resident 4 was involved in an altercation on 7/29/21 at 6:00 p.m.,
2.
Resident 44 was involved in an altercation on 7/29/21 at 6:00 p.m. and 8/21/21 at noon.
This failure had the potential to result in delay of investigation and the reporting of further allegations of
abuse.
1. Review of Resident 4's admission record indicated Resident 4 was admitted with multiple diagnoses
including cerebral infarction (a condition resulting from a lack of oxygen in the brain potentially causing a
loss of sensory and motor function), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis
(weakness such as mild loss of strength in a leg, arm, or face), acute kidney failure (kidneys suddenly
become unable to filter waste products from the blood), and major depressive disorder (a mood disorder).
Review of Resident 4's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) indicated he had a brief interview for
mental status (BIMS) score of 11 (a score of eight to 12 indicates the resident's cognition was mildly
impaired)
Review of Resident 4's IDT risk review dated 7/30/21 at 1:29 p.m. indicated .his roommate pushed his
overbed table towards him and swung his fist at him .
During an interview on 1/27/22 at 12:20 p.m. with Resident 4, Resident 4 stated there was an altercation
with another resident (Resident 44) with words not physical. He was my roommate then, but we didn't agree
on some of the music because it was not appropriate for all females. I think he was grieving some deaths in
his family. After that we changed rooms.
2. Review of Resident 44's admission record indicated Resident 44 was admitted with multiple diagnoses
including diabetes mellitus (a condition which affects the way the body processes blood sugar), end stage
renal disease (kidneys no longer work as they should to meet your body's needs), atrial flutter (abnormal
heartbeat), schizophrenia (a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally), and
morbid obesity (weight is more than 80 to 100 pounds above their ideal body weight).
Review of Resident 44's MDS dated [DATE] indicated he had a BIMS score of 12 (a score of eight to 12
indicates the resident is mildly impaired).

Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify one of six residents (Resident 19) and/or
the resident's representative regarding the facility's policy for the bed hold when they were transferred to
the hospital without receiving notice. This failure has the potential to violate the resident's right to allow the
resident to return to the facility.
Findings:
Resident 19 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses included a history of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA,
similar to a stroke, but only lasts for a short duration), and cerebral infarction (disrupted blood flow to the
brain, causing part of the brain to die off), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, disease which
causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning,
thinking, remembering, and reasoning).
Review of Resident 19's electronic record (eRecord) indicated Resident 19 had a hospital leave which
started on 9/25/21 and she had returned on 9/29/21.
During an interview on 1/28/22 at 9:44 a.m. with the director of nursing (DON), DON stated she could not
find documentation that a bed hold form was given to Resident 19 or her representative.
During an interview on 1/28/22 at 10:03 a.m. with medical records staff (MR), MR stated she was trying to
find the bed hold form for Resident 19.
During an interview on 1/31/22 at 2:10 p.m. with MR, MR stated she could not find a bed hold form for
Resident 19.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Bed Holds, revised 02/2019, indicated, .1.
Current regulations require that the facility provide/offer a bed-hold of up to 7 days when a resident is
transferred to the acute hospital.3. Nurse supervisor/charge nurse or designee shall notify the resident/legal
representative of his/her right to a bed-hold at the time of transfer to the hospital and complete the bed-hold
notice.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an
assessment tool) for one of 17 sampled residents (Resident 1) and one resident (Resident 68). Failure to
accurately assess had the potential to compromise the facility's ability to develop and implement
resident-centered care plans and interventions.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 1's Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR, a tool used to
communicate information to the doctor) Communication Form and Progress Notes indicated she fell in the
facility on 9/4/2020, 1/22/2021 and 3/12/2021.
Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE] and 4/17/2021 were reviewed. Section J1800 asked the question, Has the
resident had any falls since admission/entry or reentry or the prior assessment? The answer to this
question was coded 0 to indicate Resident 1 did not have any falls during the specified time frames.
Resident 1's falls on 9/4/2020, 1/22/2021 and 3/12/2021 were not coded on the MDS.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) on
1/28/2022 at 11:41 a.m., she reviewed Resident 1's medical record and confirmed the resident fell on
9/4/2020, 1/22/2021 and 3/12/2021. The MDSC stated the fall on 9/4/2020 should have been coded on the
MDS dated [DATE]. She further stated the falls on 1/22/2021 and 3/12/2021 should have been coded on
the MDS dated [DATE]. The MDSC confirmed none of the above falls were coded on the appropriate MDS.
Review of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 10/2019 Resident Assessment Instrument
3.0 User's Manual (RAI Manual, MDS coding instructions) indicated for section J1800, Code 1, Yes if the
resident has fallen in the specified time frame.
2. Review of Resident 68's medical record indicated he was discharged from the facility on 10/29/2021.
Review of Resident 68's Progress Notes, dated 10/29/2021, indicated the responsible party (RP, person
designated to make decisions for the resident) decided to have Resident 68 discharged from the facility
against medical advice (AMA, against the advice of the doctor).
During an interview with the administrator (ADM) on 1/28/2022 at 2:13 p.m., he confirmed Resident 68 was
discharged AMA, and this was considered an unplanned discharge. According to the ADM, the RP
indicated he would be taking Resident 68 home.
Resident 68's discharge MDS, dated [DATE] was reviewed. Section A0310 was coded 1 to indicate
Resident 68's discharge was planned. Section A2100 was coded 03 to indicate Resident 68 was
discharged to the acute hospital.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the MDSC on 1/28/2022 at 2:26 p.m., she confirmed
if Resident 68 was discharged AMA, the MDS should have indicated it was an unplanned discharge. She
also confirmed if Resident 68 was discharged home, the MDS should have indicated he was discharged to
the community, not to the acute hospital. The MDSC acknowledged Resident 68's 10/29/2021 MDS

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and security for one of three
residents (Resident 47) when facility staff was unaware Resident 47 wandered away outside the facility for
several hours. This failure compromised the resident's safety and put her at high risk for injury.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During record review of Resident 47's clinical record, Resident 47 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
included dementia (memory loss), diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) and osteoporosis (a condition in
which bones become weak and brittle).
Review of Resident 47's minimum data set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/08/21, indicated
Resident 47 was severely cognitively impaired and required supervision during activities of daily living
(ADLs).
Review of Resident 47's elopement risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 47 was at risk for
elopement.
During interview with licensed vocational nurse (LVN E) on 01/28/22 at 1:30 p.m., LVN E stated he was not
aware Resident 47 was at risk for elopement (wandering). Resident 47 was gone for some time between
12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on 12/12/21. A police officer came to the facility to return Resident 47 as she was
found in the street. LVN E further stated that nursing aides also did not know the whereabouts of Resident
47.
Review of Resident 47's clinical record revealed there was no evidence documentation indicated staff
checked frequently (or at regular intervals) as to the whereabouts of Resident 47.
During interview with the director of staff development (DSD), on 1/28/22 at 1:35 p.m., DSD acknowledged
the lack of documentation that staff checks frequently at regular intervals the whereabouts of Resident 47,
and stated there should have been evidence of documentation that staff checks on her frequently.
Review of Resident 47's social services note dated 12/12/21, indicated Elopement: About 3:25 p.m., the
dayshift nurse came to social services director (SSD) to alert an officer is here. SSD allowed police officer
to enter. He stated a good Samaritan found a lady and asked her where she lives. The Samaritan told
officer she lives at (the facility name) down the street. The police officer showed SSD a cellphone picture of
Resident 47 inside the car for [sic] the person driving. According to police officer the 2nd officer could not
get resident to get the patrol vehicle. They decided to keep her in the car. The car arrived and SSD directed
staff to come take her inside the facility.
During interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 01/28/22 at 02:45 p.m., the DON stated Resident 47
was gone between 1 to 3 p.m. DON thought that Resident 47 had passed by along with the residents who
went out to smoke in the designated area. The alarm was off at the time. Staff had overlooked Resident 47
who went out to the street and staff was unaware of the incident until the police returned the resident to the
facility. The facility did not report the incident to the California Department of Public Health.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its own policy and procedure to evaluate
residents' fall risk, to investigate the fall, to implement resident centered care plan, to revise the fall care
plan and/or place the effective interventions to prevent four of 17 sampled residents (Residents 1, 24, 37
and 38) from multiple falls recurring when:
1. For Resident 1, the facility did not revise the fall care plan, did not implement fall care plan intervention or
evaluate the resident's fall risk. Resident 1 had eight (8) unwitnessed falls from 5/21/2020 to 1/25/2022.
2. For Resident 24, the facility did not revise the fall care plan, did not implement fall care plan intervention
or evaluate the resident's fall risk. Resident 24 had four (4) unwitnessed falls from 9/11/2021 to 1/8/2022.
3. For Resident 37, staff failed implement the fall care plan intervention to provide dycem (non-slip mat) on
his wheelchair, which had resulted in Resident 37 sliding on his wheelchair and falling on the floor on
8/17/21. Resident 37 sustained an abrasion on his chin. Resident 37 had eight (8) falls from 8/16/21 to
1/23/22.
4. For Resident 38, staff failed to provide frequent checks on Resident 38, which had resulted in Resident
38's fall onto the floor lying on her back and sustaining a hematoma (a bad bruise, it happens when an
injury causes blood to collect and pull under the skin) on her right scalp on 6/17/21. Resident 38 had nine
(9) falls from 5/20/21 to 12/31/21.
These failures resulted in the residents' continued falls and resulted in fall injuries. Resident 1 had a left
humerus fracture (upper arm break) from the 6th fall on 6/21/2, a head contusion (a bruise) from the
seventh fall on 11/19/21 and head laceration from the eighth fall on 1/25/22. Resident 24 had a fourth fall on
1/8/22 with a closed fracture of second thoracic vertebra (middle part of back that connects to ribs).
Resident 37 had a sustained abrasion on the chin from the fall on 8/17/21. Resident 38 had a sustained
hematoma on the right scalp from the fall on 6/17/21.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 1's clinical record it indicated she was admitted with multiple diagnoses
including hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia with behavior disturbance (decline in mental
capacity affecting daily function and impairs reasoning), unspecified psychosis (a mental disorder
characterized by a disconnection from reality).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 12/2/21, it indicated

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Review of Resident 1's fall risk care plan dated 1/25/22 indicated Resident 1 had actual fall interventions
including, 1. Apply pressure to laceration site to stop bleeding. 2.Transfer to hospital for further evaluation
and treatment. 3. Head to toe skin check. 4. Neuro checks started.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 1's fall care plan dated 1/25/22, indicated no evidence the facility addressed Resident
1's intermittent confusion as indicated in Fall Risk dated 1/25/22 at 11:56 p.m. and disoriented x three on
1/30/22 at 3:53 p.m. that increased Resident 1's risk for falls.
Review of Resident 1's fall care plan dated 1/25/22, indicated no evidence the facility addressed the
interventions to decrease Resident 1's risk of falls. Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated there
was no evidence the facility completed weekly at risk review meetings for all of the falls mentioned above.
During observation and interview on 1/25/22 at 8:26 a.m., Resident 1 was in her bed, the bed in a low
position, the call light withinin reach. Resident 1's room contained many of her belongings. Resident 1
stated she has many pretty clothes and pictures from home. She stated she hurt her arm when she fell, it
still hurts.
During an interview on 1/26/22 at 1:41 p.m. Registered Nurse H (RN) stated Resident 1 had a fall last night
when she went to the bathroom by herself.
During an observation and interview on 1/26/22 at 1:56 p.m. in Resident 1's bathroom with certified nursing
assistant I (CNA) Resident 1's bathroom was observed to have two wheelchairs placed in corners of the
bathroom. CNA I stated the wheelchairs should not be stored there.
During interview on 1/26/22 at 2:23 p.m. with the Minimum Data Set Nurse Coordinator (MDSC), MDSC
stated an At Risk for Fall assessment is done after every fall, based on the assessment, higher numbers
mean better intervention is needed, if other interventions are not working. Need to find what is causing the
fall, the root cause, that helps come up with better interventions.
A concurrent interview and record review was done with MDSC on 1/26/22 at 2:47 p.m. with Resident 1's
clinical record. Review of the clinical record indicated an IDT note was not completed following Resident 1's
fall on 11/19/21. MDSC verified the IDT note was not completed and stated, there is no active care plan
specific on how to prevent Resident 1's fall risk.
During interview on 1/27/22 at 4:19 p.m. with licensed vocational nurse J (LVN), LVN J stated she was
working on 1/25/22 when station 1 called her because there was a loud noise and Resident 1 was found on
the floor. She did not call prior to getting up.
During interview on 1/27/22 at 4:25 p.m., LVN J stated she was working on 6/21/21 when Resident 1 had
the fall, and she broke her arm. LVN J stated most of the time she did not use the call light, we remind her,
it doesn't work (reminding her).
During interview on 1/28/22 at 11:54 a.m. with he rehab program director (RPD), RPD stated Resident 1
had a decline in her ADL because of limited use of her arm. She could not use the walker with her arm as
she was in pain and had a sling.

During interview on 1/31/22 at 3:52 p.m. with MDSC, MDSC stated Physical therapy/Occupational (PT/OT)
alone is not sufficient to address the fall. Therapy (PT/OT) addresses ADLs and makes recommendations
with other disciplines to address problems and coordinate care.
During concurrent interview and record review on 1/31/22 at 3:36 p.m. of Resident 1's clinical record, with
MDSC and the DON. MDSC stated it is important to get to the root cause. Is it cognition, needing to go to
the bathroom, find the cause to get appropriate interventions for that resident. MDSC verified there are no
changes in the interventions, they are repeated after each fall.
During interview on 1/31/22 at 3:47 p.m. with MDSC, she stated the licensed nurse incorrectly entered
information in the Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] at 4:14 p.m. indicating no falls in the past three
months. Resident 1 had a fall in October 2020. Fall risk assessment completed 1/22/21 indicated Resident
1's fall risk is low risking following her fourth fall. Resident 1 had a fall on 10/29/20.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to routinely assess the arteriovenous fistula (AV
fistula, a connection surgically made between an artery and a vein for dialysis access) for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 22) who received dialysis (a procedure in which a machine filters wastes and
fluid from the blood). This failure had the potential to result in unidentified complications with Resident 22's
AV fistula.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
Review of Resident 22's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnosis of
end stage renal disease (ESRD, the kidneys no longer function as they should to meet the body's needs).
The medical record further indicated Resident 22 received dialysis every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Review of Resident 22's Order Summary Report indicated she had a physician's order dated 10/30/2021,
to check dialysis site for bleeding, redness and tenderness every shift. She also had a physician's order
dated 10/29/2021, to auscultate bruit (use a stethoscope and listen for a swishing sound) and palpate for
thrill (use the fingers to feel for vibration) of the left AV fistula every shift.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 1/28/2022 at 8:26 a.m., Resident 22 was sitting up in
bed. Her AV fistula was located on her left upper arm. Resident 22 stated the nurses assessed her AV
fistula sometimes. When asked if the nurses looked at the AV fistula every shift, Resident 22 stated, No.
When asked if the nurses felt the AV fistula with their hands and listened to it with their stethoscopes every
shift, Resident 22 stated, No.
Review of Resident 22's treatment administration record (TAR) indicated from 11/1/2021 to 1/27/2022,
there were 24 shifts for which there was no documentation that the nurses checked Resident 22's dialysis
access site for bleeding, redness and tenderness. During the same time frame, there were also 24 shifts for
which there was no documentation that the nurses auscultated bruit and palpated for thrill of Resident 22's
left AV fistula.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the unit manager (UM) on 1/28/2022 at 9:16 a.m.,
the UM reviewed Resident 22's TAR and confirmed there were many shifts for which the nurses did not
document they assessed Resident 22's AV fistula as ordered. The UM stated if it was not documented, it
was not done.
Review of the facility's policy titled Renal Dialysis, Care of Residents, reviewed 11/2017, indicated to
inspect the dialysis access site for color, warmth, redness, edema (swelling), pain and drainage every shift.
The policy indicated to check for bruit once per shift and notify the physician immediately for any changes.
The policy further indicated, Place your fingertips lightly over the access vein and feel for the thrill.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services to
meet the needs of each resident when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility did not reorder two out of 12 emergency medication kits (E-kits) after using them; and
2. The facility failed to ensure controlled medications (medications regulated by the government because
they may be abused or cause addiction) for four out of six residents (Residents 31, 371, 20 and 66) were
accounted for.
Failure to reorder the E-kits had the potential to result in medications not being available to the residents
when needed. Failure to account for controlled medications had the potential to result in diversion (transfer
for illicit use) of the medications.
Findings:
1. During an observation on 1/24/2022 at 10:12 a.m., one E-kit containing narcotic medications
(medications that dull the senses and have the potential to cause addiction) was inspected. The medication
list on the outside of the E-kit indicated there were supposed to be eight tablets of Dilaudid (pain
medication) 2 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement), eight tablets of Oxycodone (pain medication) 5
mg, and eight tablets Norco (pain medication) 5/325 mg. There were only seven tablets of each of these
medications inside the E-kit.
Review of the facility's Emergency Kit Pharmacy Log (record of medications removed from the E-kit)
indicated a licensed nurse removed one tablet of Dilaudid 2 mg on 12/15/2021, one tablet of Oxycodone 5
mg on 12/27/2021, and one tablet of Norco 5/325 mg on 1/2/2022.
During an interview with the unit manager (UM) on 1/24/2022 at 10:12 a.m., she confirmed the above
observations and confirmed the licensed nurses did not reorder the E-kit after removing the medications.
The UM stated after taking medication out of the E-kit, the licensed nurse should order a replacement from
the pharmacy right away.
During an observation on 1/24/2022 at 10:26 a.m., one E-kit containing assorted medications was
inspected. The medication list on the outside of the E-kit indicated there was supposed to be one vial (small
cylindrical container) of Nitroglycerin (medication used to treat chest pain) 0.4 mg. There were zero vials of
Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg inside the E-kit.
Review of the Facility's Emergency Kit Pharmacy Log indicated a licensed nurse removed the vial of
Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg from the E-kit on 12/13/2021.
During an interview with the UM on 1/24/2022 at 10:26 a.m., she confirmed the above observations and
confirmed the licensed nurse did not reorder the E-kit after removing the Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg. The UM
acknowledged if a resident needed emergency Nitroglycerin, it would not have been available in the E-kit.
During an interview with the consultant pharmacist (CP) on 1/31/2022 at 8:30 a.m., he stated when

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to address whether one of 17 sampled residents (Resident 1)
would benefit from gradual dose reduction (GDR, stepwise tapering of a dose to determine if conditions can
be managed by a lower dose or if the medication can be discontinued altogether) of a psychotropic
medication (medication capable of affecting the mind, emotions and behavior). This failure had the potential
to result in unnecessary or prolonged use of the psychotropic medication, which could increase the
resident's risk of experiencing side effects (undesirable effects from the medication).
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnosis of
dementia (mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury) and psychosis (a severe mental disorder in
which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality).
Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report indicated she had a physician's order, dated 7/21/2021, for
Risperidone (medication used to treat psychotic disorders) 0.5 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement)
one tablet by mouth one time a day for dementia with psychotic features.
Review of Resident 1's Note To Attending Physician/Prescriber, written by the consultant pharmacist (CP)
and dated 12/2/2021 indicated, [Resident 1] did not have any behaviors of yelling/screaming out loud and
believes that somebody accuse her that she is a thief in the month of November. Per Federal CMS [Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services] guidelines, gradual psychotropic dose reductions should be attempted in
two separate quarters within the first year (with at least one month between attempts) and then annually
unless clinically contraindicated. Would a trial discontinuation of the Risperidone be appropriate at this
time? If no, please document the risks vs benefits for continued therapy below.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 1/31/2022 at 9:19
a.m., she stated when the facility receives a Note To Attending Physician/Prescriber from the CP, the
attending physician is supposed to indicate if he agrees or disagrees with the recommendations. The DON
stated if the attending physician disagrees with a GDR, he is supposed to document a rationale explaining
why a GDR will not be attempted. The DON reviewed Resident 1's medical record and confirmed a GDR for
Risperidone was not attempted. The DON also confirmed Resident 1's attending physician did not
document whether he agreed or disagreed with a GDR, and did not document a rationale for not attempting
a GDR for Risperidone.
The facility's policy titled General Guidelines for the Use of Psychoactive Medications, revised 10/2012
indicated, Residents who use antipsychotic drugs must receive gradual dose reductions, unless clinically
contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue the use of such drugs. Clinically contraindicated (as defined by
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS]) means that a resident need not undergo a 'gradual
dose reduction' or 'behavioral interventions' if: c. The resident's physician provides a justification why the
continued use of the drug and the dose is clinically appropriate .

the medications.
During an interview with the director of staff development (DSD) on 1/28/22 at 1:22 pm, the DSD
acknowledged the above findings and stated that monitoring target behaviors for use of these medications
were important parameters to measure the effectiveness of the use of these antipsychotic/psychotropic
medications.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of 17 sampled residents (Residents
43, 38 and 47) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (medications capable of affecting the
mind, emotions and behavior) when:
1. For Resident 43, the facility did not identify and monitor target behaviors (specific behaviors intended to
be reduced or eliminated by the medication), did not monitor side effects (undesirable effects from the
medication), and did not identify appropriate indications for the use of psychotropic medications;
2. For Resident 38, the facility did not identify and monitor target behaviors for psychotropic

3. For Resident 47, the facility did not identify and monitor target behaviors for psychotropic medications.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures compromised the facility's ability to determine whether or not the psychotropic medications
were effective. These failures also increased the residents' risk of experiencing harmful effects from the
psychotropic medications.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 43's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had the diagnoses of
bipolar disorder (a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings) and major depressive
disorder (a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness or loss of interest).
Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report indicated she had a physician's order, dated 12/1/2021, for
Sertraline (medication used to treat depression) 100 milligrams (mg, unit of dose measurement) one tablet
by mouth one time a day for antidepressant. She also had a physician's order, dated 12/1/2021, for
Quetiapine (medication used to treat psychotic disorders) 25 mg one tablet by mouth one time a day for
anxiety. The physician's orders did not specify target behaviors for Sertraline or Quetiapine.
Review of Resident 43's medication administration record (MAR), dated 12/2021 and 1/2022, indicated
there was no documentation of behavior monitoring or side effects monitoring for Sertraline or Quetiapine.
During an interview with registered nurse D (RN D) on 1/26/2022 at 1:38 p.m., she confirmed the facility
must identify target behaviors for residents receiving psychotropic medications. RN D stated nurses should
monitor the residents for target behaviors and side effects and document this on the MAR. RN D reviewed
Resident 43's medical record and confirmed there was no documentation of behavior monitoring and side
effects monitoring for Sertraline or Quetiapine.
During an interview with the unit manager (UM) on 1/26/2022 at 2:01 p.m., she confirmed antipsychotic
medications needed to have appropriate indications for use. The UM reviewed Resident 43's medical record
and confirmed anxiety was not an appropriate indication for use of Quetiapine.
During an interview with the consultant pharmacist (CP) on 1/31/2022 at 8:30 a.m., he confirmed behavior
monitoring, side effects monitoring, and appropriate indications for use must all be in place for residents
receiving psychotropic medications. The CP reviewed his own records and confirmed Resident 43 was
missing behavior and side effects monitoring for Sertraline and Quetiapine. The CP also acknowledged
anxiety was not an appropriate indication for the use of Quetiapine.
The facility's policy titled General Guidelines for the Use of Psychoactive Medications, revised 10/2017
indicated, Designated facility staff will document episodes of behavior, the impact of the medication on
behavior, and the presence or absence of side effects. The policy further indicated antipsychotic
medications should not be used if anxiety is the only indication.

Provide each resident with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets his or her daily nutritional
and special dietary needs.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure residents were
provided a well-balanced diet that met nutrition needs when serving sizes on the meal tray tickets did not
match the planned and approved menu for Regular diets, Regular Puree diets (texture modified diets that
do not require chewing), Carbohydrate Controlled (CCHO, therapeutic diets designed for people with
diabetes to keep the carbohydrate levels in meals evenly spaced throughout the day), Mechanical Soft diets
(texture modified diets that require less chewing than regular diets), and Renal 80 gram (therapeutic diet
that is low in sodium, phosphorus, and protein for people with kidney disease) CCHO Mechanical Soft
diets.
This failure had the potential to result in not meeting the nutritional needs thus further compromising the
medical status of 32 out of 68 residents eating in the facility.
Findings:
Review of facility document titled Winter Menu (spreadsheet), dated 12/27/21 - 2/27/22, indicated for
1/24/22 Monday Lunch, the serving sizes for the Regular diet were: one Beef Enchilada, #12 (1/3 cup)
scoop of Black beans, and #12 scoop (1/3 cup) of Cilantro Lime Rice.
During an observation of the lunch meal service on 1/24/22 starting at 11:42 a.m., food service worker C
(FSW C) served two Beef Enchiladas, a #8 scoop (½ cup) of Black Beans, and a #12 scoop (1/3
cup) of Cilantro Lime [NAME] for each Regular diet resident plate. FSW C and Dietary Services Supervisor
(DSS) confirmed all Regular diets got two enchiladas, a #8 scoop (1/2 cup) black beans, and a #12 scoop
(1/3 cup) of rice.
Review of the lunch meal tray tickets from 1/24/22 for Residents 66 and 271 indicated Regular and serving
sizes were: two Beef Enchiladas, ½ cup Black Beans, and 1/3 cup Cilantro Lime Rice.
Review of facility provided document titled (Facility Name) Census List dated 1/24/22 indicated 18 residents
(Residents #66, 271, 47, 52, 12, 36, 31, 23, 269, 10, 58, 8, 16, 57, 51, 45, 369, 268) received Regular diets
for lunch that day.
A random review of four more lunch meal tray tickets from 1/24/22 found the following differences in serving
sizes when compared to the 1/24/22 Lunch Winter menu spreadsheet serving sizes for those diets:
1. Regular Pureed diet (Resident 43): Black beans #8 (1/2 cup) scoop instead of #12 (1/3 cup) scoop,
2. CCHO Mechanical Soft (Resident 270): Soft black Beans #12 (1/3 cup) scoop instead of #16 (1/4 cup)
scoop and Soft Cilantro Lime [NAME] #12 (1/3 cup) scoop instead of #16 (1/4 cup) scoop,
3. Renal 80 gram CCHO Mechanical Soft (Resident 44): Seasoned Ground Beef w/ Gravy on Bun 2 oz
instead of 3 oz; Creamed Corn 1/4 cup instead of #8 (1/2 cup); and Soft Cilantro Lime [NAME] #16 (1/4
cup) instead of #12 (1/3 cup), and
4. Renal 80 gram CCHO (Resident 42): Seasoned Ground Beef with Gravy on Bun 6 oz (Ounces) instead

Review of facility provided document titled (Facility Name) Census List dated 1/24/22 indicated three
residents (Residents 32, 43, 35) received Regular Pureed diets for lunch that day.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of facility provided document titled (Facility Name) Census List dated 1/24/22 indicated eight
residents (Residents 19, 11, 270, 28, 34, 37,17, 9) received CCHO Mechanical Soft diets for lunch that day.
Review of facility provided document titled (Facility Name) Census List dated 1/24/22 indicated 2 residents
(Residents 22, 44) received Renal 80 gm CCHO Mechanical Soft diets for lunch that day.
Review of facility provided document titled (Facility Name) Census List dated 1/24/22 indicated one resident
(Resident 42) received Renal 80 gm CCHO diet for lunch that day.
During an interview on 1/24/22 at 12:35 p.m. with dietary services supervisor (DSS) and food service
worker C (FSW C), DSS and FSW C confirmed they used the serving sizes indicated on the meal tray
tickets to serve the meals to residents. DSS further confirmed that some of the meal tray tickets serving
sizes did not match the menu spreadsheet serving sizes and was unsure why they did not match. DSS
stated she will check with the corporate Registered Dietitian and that she had not noticed these
discrepancies before the surveyor pointed them out.
During an interview on 1/25/22 at 8:40 a.m. with Registered Dietitian A (RD A) in the presence of DSS, RD
A confirmed meal tray tickets serving sizes should match the menu spreadsheet serving sizes. RD A stated
the nutrient analysis of the menus is based on the menu spreadsheet serving sizes which are based on the
recipes. RD A stated she would look into why the serving sizes are not matching between the meal tray
tickets and the menu spreadsheet.
During an interview on 1/25/22 starting at 10:23 a.m., RD A stated the corporate dietary services
supervisor (CDSS) made corrections to serving sizes on the meal tray tickets that morning and now the
serving sizes match the menu spreadsheet for the week. RD A stated she worked with CDSS on a
conference call that morning to fix the differences in serving sizes between the meal tray tickets and menu
spreadsheet. RD A further stated there were changes made, similar to the serving sizes found by the
surveyor, on every day except Friday. RD A stated she assumed CDSS would correct the rest of the weeks
of the menu cycle, but she was not sure. RD A stated CDSS's job is to enter the serving sizes into the meal
tray ticket system to match the menu spreadsheet.
During an interview on 1/25/22 at 10:33 a.m., DSS stated the previous registered dietitian (RD B) used to
observe the meal service every day, would verbally give feedback to DSS, and had not noted the
discrepancies in serving sizes. She also stated RD B's last day was 1/14/22.
The most recent Registered Dietitian audit forms were requested. Review of facility documents titled
Sanitation Audit Report dated 11/2021, 9/2021, 8/2021, and 7/2021, indicated the registered dietitian did
not identify any issues under Food items served match what is listed on tray ticket. One issue was identified
in 11/2021 under Menus and recipes followed and a handwritten note said, Follow diet spreadsheet see
comment. The handwritten comment said one meal at Lunch did not follow CCHO diet dessert, instead diet
(sugar-free) ice cream and provide sherbet. Followed dietary staff and manager and in-service the
importance of following diet spreadsheet. No issues with serving sizes were identified.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored,
prepared, distributed, and served in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when:
Residents Affected - Many
1. Food service equipment was stored wet, and
2. The floor below the dish machine was not smooth and cleanable.
These failures had the potential to cause the growth of microorganisms or attract pests which could cause
foodborne illness or cross-contaminate food (cross-contamination occurs when unclean surfaces or utensils
spread germs to food and can potentially cause foodborne illness) for the 68 residents eating at the facility.
Findings:
1. During the initial kitchen tour on 1/24/22 starting at 8:55 a.m., the following was found on a storage rack
in the middle of the kitchen: Three four-quart plastic containers were wet inside and stacked together, one
twelve-quart plastic container was wet inside and stacked with other similar containers, one large plastic
bowl was wet inside and stacked with similar items, and five metal pans were wet inside and stacked
together.
During an interview at that time with the dietary services supervisor (DSS), DSS confirmed all equipment
was wet and should have been air dried before stacking and storing. DSS stated this is all the space they
have for air drying, indicating the storage rack that the wet, stacked pans and containers were on.
On another observation in the kitchen on 1/24/22 starting at 2:15 p.m., sixteen coffee mugs were observed
wet inside and inverted (upside down) directly on trays. In an interview at that time with food service worker
A (FSW A) and food service worker B (FSW B), they confirmed the mugs were wet inside and should have
been air dried before storing upside down on trays.
Review of facility policy titled Dish Washing, dated 2018, indicated Dishes are to be air dried in racks before
stacking and storing.
According to the 2017 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code, Section 4-901.11 Equipment and
Utensils, Air-Drying Required, After cleaning and sanitizing, equipment and utensils: shall be air-dried .
According to the FDA Food Code 2017 Annex 4-901.11 items must be allowed to drain and to air-dry
before being stacked or stored.
2. During an observation on 1/24/22 at 2:30 p.m. in the kitchen, an approximately ten by four foot area of
concrete flooring directly beneath the dish machine between the dirty and clean side had cracks and a
rough, bumpy, and crumbly texture. During an interview at that time, DSS confirmed the floor under the dish
machine was rough with cracks and was not smooth. DSS stated the facility had replaced floors throughout
the building and planned to replace or redo the floor in kitchen. DSS further confirmed that this section of
flooring is hard to clean, and that staff can sweep it, but they cannot mop it.
