F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the resident had a right to a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and support for daily living safely for 2 of 6 residents (Resident #3 and Resident #4) reviewed for resident rights: The facility failed to provide clean bed linens for Resident #1 and Resident #2's bed on 2/17/26. This failure could place residents at risk of exposure to infectious diseases and other unsanitary health hazards.Record review of Resident #3's face sheet dated 2/17/26 reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female with an original admission date of 5/31/25 and a readmission date of 9/28/25. Resident #3 had the following active diagnoses: muscle wasting and atrophy (decrease size, mass and strength of muscle tissue), muscle weakness, need for assistance with personal care, and Depression (a medical illness characterized by a persistent, intense, and long-lasting low mood, loss of interest and decreased energy). Record review of Resident #3's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #3 had moderate cognition and a BIMS of 10. She had limitations for upper and lower extremities on both sides. Resident #3 was noted to be incontinent of bowel and bladder. During an observation of Resident #3's bed on 2/17/26 at 9:59am AM reflected sheets and a washable incontinent pad on the bed. The incontinent pad had a yellow stain on the lower right side of it about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide in an oval shape. An interview and observation of Resident #3's bed with CNA A on 2/17/26 at 10:06 am revealed she did not recall when she last changed Resident #3's sheets and incontinent pad. CNA A noted the stain on the pad and stated she had gotten Resident #3 up and ready but hadn't had a chance to change her sheets. She immediately took all the sheets off the bed, including the incontinent pad and removed them from the room. She stated the risk to the residents of not changing their sheets when dirty would be the spread of infection. Record review of Resident #4's face sheet dated 2/17/26 reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male with an original admission date of 3/10/23 and a readmission date of 9/25/25.

CNA A stated she typically changed the incontinent pads when she saw they were dirty but had not noticed Resident #4's was dirty. An interview with LVN C on 2/17/26 at 10:25 am revealed she had not been in Resident #4's room since she started her shift at 6 am because Resident #4 had been in the living room the whole time, and she had not checked her bed linens.

She stated the tickets said, Regular Diet. At 12:45pm Resident #2 received her lunch food tray and the tray had her lunch ticket which reflected .Low Concentrated Sugar/Controlled Carbohydrate Diet. She stated it was the first time she had received a ticket labeled with that diet. She stated she had spoken to the Dietary Manager that morning and she told them she had not been receiving a diabetic diet. Observation of the food on her tray reflected a smaller portion of mashed potatoes, green beans, a dinner roll, meatloaf, Jello, tea and two packets of sweetener. An interview with the Dietary Manager on 2/17/26 at 1:14pm revealed she met with Resident #2 in the morning and the resident had told her she was diabetic. The Dietary Manager stated Resident #2 was on Regular Low Concentrated Sugar Diet and had been on it since she was admitted . She stated when a ticket reflected regular for the diet section it means there were no restrictions to their diet. She stated when a resident was Diabetic, they were given a Low Concentrated Sugar Diet and not a Regular diet. She stated if Resident #2 had received tray tickets that displayed Regular then Resident #2 got regular meals with no restrictions. The Dietary Manager stated Resident #2's order reflected she was prescribed a Low Concentrated Sugar diet. She was unsure of the reason Resident #2 had been receiving regular diet meals. The Dietary Manager stated Resident #2 told her she had not wanted to cut out any sweets. The Dietary Manager stated she followed the physician orders or dietician orders to determine which diet was provided to residents. She stated, at admission, she was provided a Low Concentrated Sugar Diet, but Resident #2 had not gotten it until that day. The risk to the residents of receiving a regular diet was she could have been consuming more sugar than she should which could affect her Diabetes. An interview with the ADON on 2/17/26 at 2:44 pm revealed the speech therapist, dietician, or physician could write a diet order. The orders should have been given to the Dietary Manager, as soon as they were changed. An interview the DON on 2/17/26 at 3:10 pm revealed it was the responsibility of the Dietician to notify the Dietary Manager of changes in therapeutic diets. She stated she believed the reason Resident #1's diet was not changed timely was because the Dietician was new and she had erroneously sent an incomplete spreadsheet of residents on therapeutic diets to the Dietary Manager. The DON stated she was unsure of why Resident #2 had gotten a regular diet instead of the Low Concentrated Sugar diet. She stated there was little to no risk for Resident #2 of having gotten a regular diet because there was not a big difference between a regular diet and Low Concentrated Sweet Diet. The risk for Resident #3 having gotten the wrong diet was it could increase weight loss. An interview with the Administrator on 2/17/26 at 3:39 pm revealed he believed the error with the diets for Resident #1 and Resident #2 was the Dietician changing diets without their knowledge resulted in an oversight of the changed diets for the two residents. The Administrator stated the risk to the residents of having been served the wrong diet would depend on the resident and the reason the diet was prescribed, but it could affect their health.
