During an observation on March 13, 2024, at 11:29 a.m., Resident 22 wheeled herself to the nurse's station. Resident 22 asked for her nurse to check her BS. During an interview on March 13, 2024, at 11:35 a.m., with Resident 22, Resident 22 stated the nurses checked her BS three times a day before meals. Resident 22 stated she felt her sugar was low usually around 4 a.m. Resident 22 stated this happened at least every 10 days and the nurses knew about it.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. 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 provide respiratory care and treatment for one of two residents reviewed for oxygen administration (Resident 10), when the physician's order for oxygen administration was not followed. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in ineffective oxygen therapy, respiratory distress, and decline in the resident's health condition. Findings: On March 11, 2024, at 11:04 a.m., Resident 10 was observed in bed with oxygen (O2) via nasal cannula (NC - a tube used to deliver oxygen through the nose). Resident 10's oxygen administration was observed at 3 liters per minute (LPM). On March 11, 2024, at 11:23 a.m., a concurrent observation, interview and record review was conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2. LVN 2 confirmed the O2 level for Resident 10 was at 3 LPM. LVN 2 verified the physician order and stated the O2 level should be at 2 LPM, as per physician's order. LVN 2 stated the physician's order was not followed. On March 13, 2024, at 11:18 a.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON).

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the lunch menu was followed on February 27, 2024, when residents were served two and a half ounces of chicken instead of three ounces as indicated on the menu for lunch on Monday, March 11, 2024. This failure had the potential for residents' nutritional needs not to be met by being served less than the menu stated portion in accordance with a prescribed regular diet. Findings: During an observation on March 11, 2024, at 11:54 a.m., of the facilities lunch preparation, the cook served a piece of chicken on each of the residents' plate who was on a regular diet. She used tongs to pick up the piece of chicken and place it on the residents' plates. The chicken portion being served was weighed by the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) and it was two and a half ounces. A review of the lunch menu for Monday, March 11, 2024, indicated Herb and Honey Glazed Chicken .3 oz. (ounces - unit of measurement). During an interview with the facility's Registered Dietitian (RD) on March 12, 2024, at 2:36 p.m., RD stated the chicken portion size should be three ounces if that is what it says on the menu.

F 0805 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual needs. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure pureed (food blended to a smooth, creamy consistency) food was the appropriate consistency to meet the individual needs of four out of 44 residents (Residents 4, 5, 10 and 25). This failure had the potential for residents on a pureed diet to aspirate (draw food into the lungs) and/or negatively impact the resident's dining experience resulting in poor food intake, compromising their nutritional status. Findings: During tray line observation on March 11, 2024, at 11:53 a.m., the pureed chicken was a chunky consistency and not smooth. During a test tray evaluation on March 12, 2024, at 12:19 p.m., the pureed ground beef had a texture of crumbles, (not smooth) and required chewing to swallow. An interview with the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) was conducted on March 12, 2024, at 12:25 p.m. The DSS stated the pureed beef was not smooth and It needs to be more moist and should have more broth. The DSS further stated the beef was too crumbly. During an interview with the facilities Registered Dietician (RD) on March 12, 2024, at 2:40 p.m., the RD stated the expectation is that pureed food has to be soft and completely pureed, no chunks and very moist and very soft. The RD further stated the risk of food not being properly pureed was if a resident has dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), it could cause discomfort and aspiration is a risk. During a review of facility document titled Diet Type Report, dated March 11, 2024, the document indicated, four residents were on a pureed diet order. A review of the facility document titled Diet Manual, Dietary Directions, dated 2018, indicated .The puree diet provides foods that do not require chewing and are easily swallowed .All foods should be smooth and pureed to the consistency of pudding . A review of the facility document titled Recipe Name: Pureed Fish/Meat Poultry dated August 20, 2018, indicated .Process until meat is smooth in consistency.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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 record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary conditions were maintained in the kitchen for food storage methods and food sanitation equipment when the ice machine was observed to have a build-up of a slimy pink, yellow and bright green substances where ice is formed. This failure had the potential for contamination, which could result in food borne illnesses for all residents who consume ice from the facility's ice machine. The facility census was 44. Findings: On March 11, 2024, at 9:31 a.m., an observation and concurrent interview with the facility's Maintenance Supervisor (MS) was completed. The MS opened the interior of the ice machine, there was a slimy pink and yellow substances on the white shield that was over the ice grates. There was bright green build-up where the water flows out of the ice grates. The MS stated the ice machine was last cleaned on January 11, 2024, with a descaler (a solution used to remove a coating, layer, or crust from a surface). The MS stated he uses a descaler to clean the ice machine every six months. The MS further stated the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning were not clear and he had been trying to contact the manufacturer to get more detailed instructions on how to clean the machine but had not received a response. He stated he was using a descaler because it was what he used on the last ice machine they had. During an interview with the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) on March 11, 2024, at 9:46 a.m., the DSS stated she does not inspect the top part of the ice machine where the ice is made. The DSS stated it is the responsibility of building maintenance to remove the cover and clean inside of the machine. The DSS stated the expectation is that the ice machine is clean and has no build-up of any kind. During an interview with the Director of Staff Development/Infection Preventionist (DSD/IP) on March 11, 2024, at 9:41 a.m., she stated the ice machine should be kept clean and not have any discolorations. During a follow-up interview with MS on March 12, 2024, at 11:03 a.m., the MS stated the ice machine should be cleaned more often. During an interview with the facility's Registered Dietician (RD), she stated The ice machine should be absolutely clean. The RD also stated the slimy residue and build-up could be harmful for residents; it could cause a health hazard and will make residents sick with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The RD further stated she felt that the ice machine should be more frequently cleaned, every three months or as needed. It should be cleaned to prevent buildup. According to the 2022 Federal FDA Food Code, section 4-602.11 titled Equipment Food-Contact Surfaces and Utensils which states .In equipment such as ice makers .shall be cleaned .Absent manufacturer specifications, at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil or mold .bins must be cleaned on a routine basis to prevent the development of slime, mold, or soil residues that may contribute to an accumulation of microorganisms.
