observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect the residents right to be free from
abuse and neglect for one (Resident #4) of 10 residents reviewed for abuse and neglect.

she did not feel safe sharing a room with Resident #13 ( male resident). Resident # 4 told the facility that
she did not want to be in a room with Resident #13. Resident #4 no longer remembered her relationship
with Resident #13. The facility failed to address Resident #4's concerns and allowed her to continue to
reside in the same room as Resident # 4.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 05/07/25. The IJ template was provided to the facility on
[DATE] at 1:43 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 05/09/25, the facility remained out of
compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of no harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy due to
facility continuation of in-servicing and monitoring the plan of removal.
This failure could place residents at risk for not having measures in place to protect them from serious
harm and mental anguish.

stated that Resident #4 asked her why there was a random man in her room (Resident #13). She stated
that Resident #4 would sit and waited for a ride in the lobby area and she was being monitored with 15
minute checks until the behavioral health services assessed her for a secure unit placement. She stated
she remembered writing the progress notes and it was discussed in a morning meeting about possibly
moving Resident #4 to a different room. She stated in the meeting it was determined if they moved her to a
different room then Resident #13 would have still sought her out and if Resident #4 was placed on the
secure unit, they would be able to ensure they were separated; Resident #4 had also displayed more exit
seeking behaviors. She stated behavioral health services determined she was not at a high enough risk to
be admitted to the secured unit and it had not been discussed again. She stated she did believe Resident
#4 could have felt unsafe and Resident #13 was also upset that Resident #4 did not remember who he was.

cognition a couple of weeks ago and was more confused, was not sure where she was and stated she

medications adjusted. She stated that she was not aware of the progress notes that used the words creepy
or weird and only remembered they discussed Resident #4's general confusion. She stated if she had
known she would be concerned with resident safety and would have intervened and temporarily moved her
to ensure she felt safe, informed the Executive Director, and reevaluated any causes. She stated there was
not an assessment for resident consent for relationships and there was not a policy regarding resident
cohabitation or relationships and did not know if it would be something to be care planned.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 1:03 PM with the ADON revealed Resident #4 and Resident #13 had been
roommates for years and it had been good for a while, they typically sat together for every meal. She stated

was refusing to go to their room, she told Resident #13 to give Resident #4 some time and explained
Resident #4 was confused. She stated that in a morning meeting LVN A brought up possibly moving
Residents #4 and #13 to a separate rooms but there were concerns that Resident #13 would go into

or so then came back and did the same thing again. CNA H stated staff redirected Resident #4 with coffee,
snacks, activities, smoking breaks and eventually Resident #4 went back to her own room. She stated

were monitoring her frequently.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 9:14 AM with Resident #4, she stated she had a roommate who was male

Residents Affected - Some
minute checks until the behavioral health services assessed her for a secure unit placement. She stated
she remembered writing the progress notes and it was discussed in a morning meeting about possibly
moving Resident #4 to a different room. She stated in the meeting it was determined if they moved her to a
different room then Resident #13 would have still sought her out and if Resident #4 was placed on the
secure unit, they would be able to ensure they were separated; Resident #4 had also displayed more exit
seeking behaviors. She stated behavioral health services determined she was not at a high enough risk to
be admitted to the secured unit and it had not been discussed again. She stated she did believe Resident
#4 could have felt unsafe and Resident #13 was also upset that Resident #4 did not remember who he was.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 12:30 PM with the Director of Resident Support Services revealed Resident
#4 had dementia, was confused and doesn't understand why she was at the facility, her last BIMS score
was a 3 (severe cognitive impairment). She stated Resident #13 also had confusion and had a low BIMS
score. She stated she spoke with Resident #4 on 05/05/25 and had not heard any concerns about Resident
#13. She stated a resident who did not remember their significant other or started to call them creepy,
refused to go into their room or refused to sit with each other at mealtimes was a cause of concern
regarding consent and abuse and could cause a resident to physically lash out at the other roommate if
they invaded their space.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 12:41 PM with the DON revealed Resident #4 had a significant change in her
cognition a couple of weeks ago and was more confused, was not sure where she was and stated she
wanted to leave, did not recognize nursing staff or Resident #13, they placed her on 15 minute checks and
tested her for a UTI- it was positive and had to go through several rounds of antibiotics and had
medications adjusted. She stated that she was not aware of the progress notes that used the words creepy
or weird and only remembered they discussed Resident #4's general confusion. She stated if she had
known she would be concerned with resident safety and would have intervened and temporarily moved her
to ensure she felt safe, informed the Executive Director, and reevaluated any causes. She stated there was
not an assessment for resident consent for relationships and there was not a policy regarding resident
cohabitation or relationships and did not know if it would be something to be care planned.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 1:03 PM with the ADON revealed Resident #4 and Resident #13 had been
roommates for years and it had been good for a while, they typically sat together for every meal. She stated
that recently Resident #4 had a UTI and was confused about where she was and who Resident #13 was
and she reoriented Resident #4 to her room and to Resident #13. She stated that there were times
Resident #13 came to her and was concerned because Resident #4 did not recognize who he was and
was refusing to go to their room, she told Resident #13 to give Resident #4 some time and explained
Resident #4 was confused. She stated that in a morning meeting LVN A brought up possibly moving
Residents #4 and #13 to a separate rooms but there were concerns that Resident #13 would go into
whatever room they moved Resident #4 to. Interview revealed there was a discussion about possibly
admitting Resident #4 to the secured unit . The ADON could not remember why a change was not made.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 2:35 PM with the Executive Director revealed he started working at the
facility in April of 2024 and Resident #4 and Resident #14 were already established roommates and were
alright, as far as he knew it was a companionship. He stated he knew that Resident #4 had confusion and
did not know the details. He stated Resident #4's progress notes would be a cause for concern for possible
abuse and if he had known then he would have involved the Director of Resident Support Services and at
least temporarily separated the residents or offered to separate the resident. He stated that he expected
staff to report concerns to him and for the DON to inform him during

morning meeting of any concerns so that they know what was going on with residents and make sure the
facility addressed all their needs. He stated the facility did not have a policy for resident capacity or consent
or regarding resident relationships. He stated that consent concerns would be assessed as needed, when
there were concerns from family or friends, or the resident then they reassessed the situation.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 2:59 PM with LVN B revealed she started working at the facility about 3
weeks ago, and staff told her Resident #4 and Resident #13 were boyfriend and girlfriend and roommates.
She stated Resident #4 did not want to go into her room with Resident #13 and she told LVN B that she did
not want to be in the same room as Resident #13 and that she did not know him. LVN B stated she took
Resident #4 to an empty room and suggested she sleep there. She stated Resident #4 asked LVN B why
would she not want to sleep in her room and LVN B replied that Resident #4 said she felt uncomfortable
with her boyfriend (Resident #13). She stated she notified the oncoming shift and continued to check on
Resident #4 every 15 minutes due to her elopement risk. She stated that Resident #4's comments were
concerning because it showed she felt like he was a threat to her. She stated she was not aware of the
progress note where Resident #4 called Resident #13 creepy and stated she would have questioned
Resident #4 more on why she used the word creepy because it sounded like she felt frightened to be alone
with him.
In an interview on 05/06/25 at 4:49 PM with the Director of Rehabilitation revealed Resident #4 recently had
a decrease in her cognition level due to a UTI and suddenly started to dislike her roommate (Resident #13)
and did not recognize him. He stated that about a week ago Resident #4's wandering, confusion, and not
remembering Resident #13 was brought up during a morning meeting with the department heads. He
stated he suggested they move Resident #4 to another room due to dementia and the male-female
dynamic and was not sure why the residents were not moved. He stated that he could not remember if the
Executive Director was present at the time.
In an interview on 05/08/25 at 11:55 AM with CNA H (worked all shifts) revealed Resident #4 started to not
recognize Resident #13 around January 2025 and then more consistently in the past month. CNA H stated
Resident #4 said things like there's a strange or weird man in her room and she didn't know who he was.
She stated she took her to LVN A who reoriented Resident #4 to Resident #13 and told her that's your
boyfriend- you live with him. CNA H stated sometimes Resident #4 remembered who Resident #13 was
and other times she would say no, I don't know him and went to the lobby and stayed there about an hour
or so then came back and did the same thing again. CNA H stated staff redirected Resident #4 with coffee,
snacks, activities, smoking breaks and eventually Resident #4 went back to her own room. She stated
Resident #4 did seem afraid and confused and she saw now that it could have been a sign of abuse.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 05/07/25. The Administrator and DON were notified on 05/07/25
at 1:43 PM of the Immediate Jeopardy. The IJ template was provided at this time and plan of removal was
requested.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening
and resident review (PASARR) to avoid duplicative testing and effort for one (Resident #9) of 2 residents
reviewed for PASARR.
The facility failed to refer Resident #12 to the state authority for potential mental illness trigger by submitting
a corrected PASARR evaluation after the addition of a mental health diagnosis.
This failure could affect the residents who had a documented psychiatric diagnosis by placing them at risk
for not receiving needed treatment and services.
Findings included:
A review of Resident #12's Face Sheet dated 5/9/25 reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #12 had on onset of schizoaffective disorder on 11/27/24.
Review of Resident #12's MDS annual assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident was considered by
the State Level 2 PASARR process to have serious mental illness to include Schizophrenia (a chronic
mental illness characterized by significant disruptions in though, perception, emotion, and behavior). Her
other active diagnoses were Depression (a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of deadness,
loss of interest and difficulty functioning in daily life) and Psychotic Disorder (a mental disorder
characterized by a disconnection from reality).
Review of Resident #12's PASARR Level 1 Screening, dated 3/12/24, revealed no mental illness.
Review of Resident #12's medical records revealed no PASARR Level II screening or no Mental Illness
Resident Review Form.
Interview with the Regional MDS Coordinator on 5/8/25 at 11:57pm revealed that Resident #12 completed
the first PASSAR on 3/12/24 and it was negative for mental illness. Then her PCP added schizoaffective
disorder with an onset of 11/27/24. She stated the resident should have had a Level II screening or a
Mental Illness Resident Review filed with the LIDDA but did not. She was unsure of why it was not
completed. She stated the MDS coordinators were supposed to check for new orders on the 24-hour
reports and send the appropriate referrals if necessary. She noted the order for Schizoaffective diagnosis
was uploaded, but communication failed somehow. The risk to the resident for not being properly referred
for PASARR would be the resident missed out on services they possibly qualified for that could help with
their symptoms.
Review of the facility's policy PASARR revised 11/15/23 reflected . The purpose of this policy is to ensure
PASARRs are being obtained and completed timely and accurately .6. Follow Texas PASRR Policy for all
mandatory meetings and care coordination including any changes that may require a change in resident's
PASARR status.

admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan
for each resident that included instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care for the
resident that met professional standards of care within 48 hours of the resident's admission for one of two
(Resident #57) residents reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to complete a baseline care plan for Resident #57.
This failure could place newly admitted residents at risk of not receiving effective and person-centered care
and services.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #57's 5-day MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female
who admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had a BIMS of 12 which indicated she was moderately
cognitively impaired. She was always incontinent of bowel and bladder, required substantial to maximum
assistance with ADL's and had diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease
that blocks airflow and make if difficult to breath) and heart failure. She required continuous oxygen.
Record review of Resident #52's electronic record census information reflected an admission date of
04/15/25- discharged [DATE]-Re-admit on 04/22/25-discharged on 04/23/25-re-admitted on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #57s electronic record reflected the baseline care plan had been initiated on
05/02/25, but the baseline care plan was never completed. The only section completed was for Social
Services.
In an observation and interview with Resident #57 on 05/05/25 at 06:40 p.m. Resident #57 was observed
lying in bed with O2 via nasal canula. O2 was set to deliver 5 liters per minute. Resident #57 was noted to
have a Foley catheter draining dark amber colored urine. Resident #57 stated she was on antibiotics for a
urinary tract infection. She stated she used O2 continuously at 5 liters per minute. She stated she had been
back at the facility for about 5 days.
In an interview with RN F on 05/08/25 at 01:50 p.m. she stated she thought the DON was responsible for
completing the baseline care plan. She stated she had never received any instruction on completing the
baseline care plan.
In an interview with LVN A on 05/08/25 at 01:53. p.m. she stated was told only an RN could complete the
baseline care plan. She stated she assumed the DON or the MDS nurse completed the care plan. She
stated she had never been instructed on the completion of the baseline care plan.
In an interview with the Corporate MDS Nurse on 05/08/25 at 01:55 p.m. she stated she searched Resident
#57's electronic record and determined the baseline care plan had not been completed. She stated the
care plan was an interdisciplinary approach, stating nursing needed to add their information, therapy, social
services and dietary. She stated all parties were to sign after completion and then the care plan was to be

from 2/24/25 to 4/18/25 and was discharged due to plateauing in her progress. Resident #12 had a
contracture to her left hand and should have had a splint as there was an order on file, as he insured it was
there. He stated Resident #12 was also on the Contracture Management Logs and was followed up with
every quarter, last follow-up was 04/15/25. The Director of Rehab was unable to provide the active order,
and stated someone had cancelled the order without discussing it with him. He would have never
recommended the order be discontinued, as Resident #12 needed the splint to help manage her
contracture. There should always be an order for the splint and the splint/brace should be care planned.

immediately and enter the order.

Interview with LVN A on 05/08/25 at 9:16am revealed Resident #12 had a contracture and therapy had
given the resident a splint, but she was unsure if it was an active order because she had not seen Resident
#12 with it on. She stated that a care plan would have had the need for a splint for a contracture. The risk of
not wearing the splint if it was recommended by therapy was the risk of the contracture getting worst and
causing more pain.

Interview with the Regional MDS Coordinator on 05/08/25 at 11:57pm revealed it was the job of the MDS
coordinators to complete the comprehensive care plan. The nurses and Administration Team would update
the care plans with new orders or acute orders. A splint or brace would be something that was listed on the
care plan. She was unable to provide a care plan for Resident #12 that had the splint or brace listed as an
intervention for contracture. The risk to the resident of not having the splint care planned would have been
that everyone would not be aware of the resident's needs related to her contracture causing more issues for
the resident.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 05/08/25 at 12:09pm revealed she was unsure if Resident #12 had
a contracture. She stated that contractures and splints would have had orders and were care planned. She
stated every intervention used on residents needed to be care planned, the risk of not having a splint in the
care plan was that the hand could become more contracted. The MDS nurse should have kept care plans
updated, but all nurses had the ability to update care plans. The Regional MDS Coordinator was filling in for
the MDS nurse because the position was vacant.
Interview with the Executive Director on 05/08/24 at 12:45pm revealed the MDS coordinator oversaw
updating care plans but the DON, ADON and social worker could also update them. Care Plans should
include splints or braces if needed. Anything that has an order should be care planned. The risk of not
having a splint care planned would be that the resident wouldn't receive everything they needed.
Interview with RN G on 05/08/25 2:30pm revealed she was aware that Resident #12 had a contracture on
one and that she had received therapy multiple times. She reported Resident #12 had a brace for her
contracted hand at one point and believed she still had it but no longer used it. She stated that Resident
#12 didn't like to use it and it was discontinued in the orders a long time ago. She stated that contractures
and braces were included in care Pplans.
Interview with the Director of Rehabilitation on 05/08/27 at 2:57pm revealed that he no longer had access
to Resident #12's OT evaluation that had the discharge recommendation for brace or splint because it was
in their old electronic system and they switched over to a new system in April. He only had the OT
discharge evaluation from 4/18/25 that did not list the brace for the contracture on it. He stated that he was
sure Resident #12 required a splint/brace because he had put the order in and someone had discontinued
it without discussing with him. He stated he reassessed the resident yesterday and she continued to have a
contracture and needed a brace. He entered in the order for the brace. He stated Resident #12 continued to
be listed on his Contracture Management log. He stated he always discussed the need of a split/brace with
the IDT and would teach the nurses and CNAs how to put it on safely. the length of time to wear it, what to
assess for in order to take it off and how many times per day it was necessary. He stated he did this when
he entered the order and discharged the resident from therapy.
Record review of the facility's policy, Comprehensive Care Plan revised on 04/25/21 reflected:
.The Care Plan is revised every quarter, significant change of condition, Annual or as the resident condition
changes on an individualized basis. The Care Plan process is an ongoing review process .5. The
Interdisciplinary Team will review the healthcare practitioner's notes and orders (e.g. dietary needs,
medications, routine treatment, etc ) and implement a Comprehensive Care Plan to meet the residents'
care needs including but not limited to: .b. Physician orders .d. Therapy services .l. Psychosocial Mood

range of motion for one (Resident #12) of six residents reviewed for range of motion.
The facility failed to implement interventions to prevent further decline of Resident #12's contracture to her
left hand upon discharge from therapy services.
These failures could place residents at risk for decline in range of motion, decreased mobility, and
worsening of contractures.

Observation on Resident #12 on 5/5/25 at 7:54pm revealed possible contracture on left hand without a
brace or splint. Attempted to interview Resident #12 however she was unable to answer questions due to
cognitive deficits.
Interview with Director of Rehabilitation on 5/7/25 at 1:14pm revealed Resident #12 had PT and OT from
2/24/25 to 4/18/25 and was discharged due plateauing in her progress. Resident #12 had a contracture on
left hand and should have had a splint as there was an order on file, as he insured it was there. He stated
Resident #12 was also on the Contracture Management Logs and was followed up with every quarter, last
follow-up was 4/15/25. Director of Rehab was unable to provide the active order, he stated someone had
cancelled the order without discussing it with him. He would have never recommended the order be
discontinued, as Resident #12 needed the splint to help manager her contracture. There should always be
an order for the splint and the splint/brace should be care planned. They needed to have an order to obtain
the appropriate consents. He stated he would assess Resident #12 immediately and enter the order.
Observation of Resident #12 on 5/7/25 at 1:23pm revealed resident sitting in common area watching TV
without a splint or brace on left hand.

the contracture.
Interview with LVN A on 5/8/25 at 9:16am revealed Resident #12 had a contracture and therapy had given
the resident a splint, but she was unsure if it was an active order because she had not seen Resident #12
with it on. The risk of not wearing the splint if it was recommended by therapy was the risk of the
contracture getting worst and causing more pain.
Interview with Director of Nursing on 5/8/25 at 12:09pm revealed she was unsure if Resident #12 had a
contracture. She stated that contractures and splints would have had orders. She stated every intervention
used on residents needed to have an order and be care planned, the risk of not having an order for a splint
was that the hand could become more contracted.
Interview with the Executive Director on 5/8/24 at 12:45pm revealed that a splint or brace should have a
physician order and be added to the care plan. The risk of not having an order for a splint was that the
resident wouldn't receive everything they needed.

was dated when opened.
2. The facility failed to ensure a vial of TB PPD, that was opened and used, was dated.
3. The facility failed to ensure 5 unopened and 1 opened vial of multi-dose flu vaccine and 3 unopened and
1 opened vial of multi-dose TB PPD was stored in a locked medication room or medication cart.
These failures could affect residents and staff resulting in diminished effectiveness, and not receiving the
therapeutic benefits of the medications.
The findings included:
1. An observation on [DATE] at 04:45 p.m. revealed LVN D obtained Resident #28's fingerstick blood sugar.
Blood sugar reading was 360. LVN D checked the computer to determine she would need to contact the
MD for orders. LVN D reached out to the physician and received an order for 15 units of Lyumjev (insulin).
LVN D retrieved the insulin pen from the medication cart and dialed in the amount of insulin required (15
units). Observation of the insulin pen revealed no date on the pen indicating when it was opened. LVN D
administered the insulin to Resident #28. LVN D returned to the medication cart, wiped the pen down with
an alcohol wipe and placed it back in the medication cart.
In an interview with LVN D on [DATE] at 04:55 p.m. She stated the insulin pen was supposed to be dated
once it was placed on the medication cart and opened. She stated she was not sure who had opened the
pen. She stated by not dating it they had no way to know how long the pen had been open. She stated the
insulin was only good for 28 days once opened. She stated she should have checked to see when it was
opened. She stated giving expired insulin could result in effective insulin coverage for a resident.
In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 09:30 a.m. she stated the insulin pen was to be dated once it
was opened. She stated failure to do so could result in the resident receiving and expired medication which

dated when opened. She stated once it was open it would only be good for 30 days. She stated the risk of
not dating it once opened was the potential for false positive or an inaccurate test, which could lead to a
missed infection. She stated whoever opened the vial was responsible for dating it. She stated the flu
vaccine and TB PPD were stored in her office when she started and thought that was where it was
supposed to be stored. She stated the office door was locked when they leave for the day, but otherwise it
was open to anyone who wanted to come in.
In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 11:50 a.m. she stated once a multi-use vial of medication was
opened the staff were required to date it. She stated when they open of vial of TB PPD it had to be dated to
prevent the risk of using an expired medication which would render it ineffective and could give a false
positive reading of the PPD. The DON said she had no idea the TB PPD or Flu vaccine were stored in the
refrigerator in the ADON's and Treatment nurses' office. She stated it should be stored in the medication
room's refrigerator where it would be secured, and expiration dates could be checked. She stated she was
moving it now.

coverings in the kitchen while serving food and getting items from the kitchen refrigerator. Interview with
[NAME] T revealed the facility had coverings for their facial hair but the coverings do nothing and proceeded
to show where the coverings were at and how they looked. He stated he had asked the Director of Food
Services to buy facial coverings that covered their facial hair and was pending to hear back from her. He
stated the risk to the residents of serving food without covering facial hair was hair could fall in the food and
contaminate it.
Observation and interview on 5/5/27 at 6:43pm revealed the following:
*two red tiles from the floorboard loose and leaning on the wall in the kitchen next to the serving table.
*a clear square plastic cannister with a red top on kitchen shelf above prep table with about 1/3 of contents

Interview with [NAME] T on 5/5/25 at 7:45pm revealed the Director of Food Services had informed him the
kitchen had been powered washed the day prior and the tiles on the shelf in the dry food storage had come
off of the kitchen footboard and they had put the tiles on the shelf so the maintenance staff could find them
easily. He stated they still should not have put the dirty tile near the open food.
Observation of kitchen refrigerator on 5/6/25 at 8:22am revealed the plastic bags from previous day's
observation of onions, lettuce and tomatoes (sandwich fixings) were not labeled or dated when to discard.
Interview with [NAME] CC on 5/6/25 at 8:22am revealed everything in the freezers and refrigerators should
be dated and labeled with the date received, date opened and discard date. He took the items out of the
refrigerator and threw them away. He stated the risk to the resident of not labeling and dating was they
could get sick from bad food. Observation of the kitchen floor revealed the red base board tiles had been
removed.
Observation of lunch being served on 5/6/25 at 12:18pm revealed [NAME] CC took out a new tray of
meatloaf from the oven and did not temp it before serving it to the residents.
Interview with [NAME] CC on 5/6/25 at 12:25pm revealed he failed to take the temperature of the 2nd tray
of meatloaf when he took it out of the oven. He stated the oven was on, so he believed it was hot, however
he should have taken the temperature. The risk to the resident of not taking the temperature was the food
could not be fully cooked, and the residents could get sick.
Interview with Director of Food Services on 5/6/25 at 12:56pm revealed she had trained all cooking staff on
dating and labeling items. She stated the items should have potentially 3 dates date received, date opened
and discard date. She expected all food in the refrigerators, freezers and dry goods to have been labelled.
She stated she had not known sealed items removed from their original boxes with no manufacture label
needed to be labelled what it was because it was clearly visible what they were, however, would start
labeling everything. The expectation for sealing opened items was they wrap up the items in the original
packaging if possible and put in a sealed plastic bag, with a date opened and date discarded. The risk to
the residents of not appropriately labeling items were many things to include food borne illnesses such as
Salmonella poisoning and cross contamination. She was informed the aide and cook last night had no facial
coverings for their facial hair and stated the facility had facial hair covering nets and would talk to staff about
the reason they were not being worn. The risk to the residents of not wearing the facial hair net covering
was hair could fall in the food and contaminate it. The May 2025 Temperature Log was reviewed with the
Director of Food Services noted temperatures were not taken on May 4th or May 5th. She stated the
expectation was temperatures should have been taken every meal, every day before serving. If staff
intended to serve food the food needed to be temped before serving. She stated she checked temperature
logs daily to ensure temperatures were being taken every meal and every day, however she hadn't had a
chance to check the log since the weekend. She stated she would be writing up the cooks for May 4th and
May 5th, as they knew temperatures had to be taken of all food. The risk of the temperatures of the food not
taken before serving was the food could be raw or could be too hot and burn residents. She stated she was
made aware of the tiles that were broken last week and during the deep clean and sanitization of the
kitchen. She had asked the staff who were sanitizing the kitchen to move the tiles somewhere that
maintenance would have been able to find them, so they put them in the dry goods storage on the shelf.
She stated they should not have put the tiles in any place food was stored and had asked [NAME] T to
move them last night. She stated the risk of having the footboard tiles close to opened food was

2. The facility failed to keep an effective pest control program so that the facility was free of gnats in the
Kitchen.
3. The facility failed to ensure one hallway (100 hall) of 5 hallways where residents' rooms were located,
were free of gnats.
4. The facility failed to ensure the nurses station was free from gnats.
These failures placed residents at risk for cross contamination, food borne illnesses, the spread of infection
and disease, and a reduced quality of life.
Findings included:
1. In an observation and interview on 05/05/25 at 6:52 PM revealed Resident #2 was lying in bed with a
food tray on the bedside tables, food crumbs on the bed linen and the floor, with 5 gnats flying around her
and landed on the bed linen and bedside table; she stated she had noticed the gnats for a while now, was
not sure what was causing them and they bothered her but she learned to live with it. She stated that the
facility did treat the room for the pests, was not sure when the last time it was treated, and housekeeping
cleaned her room each day.
In an observation of and interview on 05/06/25 at 3:21 PM with Housekeeper EE revealed she had cleaned
Resident #2's room and floor; she stated and the residents linens were clean. At this time there was one
gnat flying in the room. Housekeeper EE stated Resident #2's room did occasionally have gnats and
thought it was due to Resident #2 eating in bed- the gnats were attracted to food. She stated when she saw
the gnats she would write it on the pest control log and then inform the Director of Plant Operations (DPO)
verbally and the room would be treated for pests.
In an interview on 05/09/25 at 11:57 AM with the Director of Environmental Services (DES) revealed
Resident #2 ate her meals in bed and frequently spilled food that attracted small black bugs to her room.
She stated that they clean Resident #2's room [ROOM NUMBER] days a week and an additional evening
cleaning on Tuesday and Thursday and Fridays. She stated Resident #2's room was treated on 05/08/25
with fly bait spray. She stated meal trays that were not picked up on time or food spills would attract the
gnats and when housekeeping observed those things, they notified nursing. She stated there are cleaning
products available to the staff when housekeepers were not onsite. She stated it was important for a
resident's room to be free from gnats because it was an environmental hazard and was unclean for a
resident.

occasional gnat. I applied a liquid residual to cracks and crevices throughout the kitchen added a foaming
agent to drains and a poly a liquid residual to the bottom sides of the dish pit tables .Material: Alpine WSG
.target pests: American Roaches, Gnats/Fruit/Crane .
Review of facility invoice from Perfect Pest Control dated 3/11/25 revealed gnats were not addressed during
the fumigation visit.
Review of facility invoice from Perfect Pest Control dated 2/12/25 .General Comments: Met with MD
(Maintenance Director) upon arrival, he stated he knew of nothing but has told staff to utilize the log book. I
located the logbook finding 104, 304, 310 and 291 with gnats. I inspected each room and restroom finding
no signs of gnats and applied an aerosol bait to walls in restroom .I also met with laundry attendant stating
gnats are better but still see an occasional gnat. I applied an aerosol bait to walls Material: PT alpine
pressurized fly bait .target pests: Gnats/Fruit/Crane
Interview with Director of Plant Operations on 5/7/25 at 1:12pm revealed he was aware gnats being
reported in the kitchen and other areas in the building and had pest control coming every time it was
reported. He stated he scheduled pest control to come on 5/9/25 to spray again for gnats.

routinely and pest control looked at the book showing when they had issues with gnats. She had not seen
gnats until they were flying around a fast food item meal that was brought earlier in the break room. The risk
of having gnats in the facility with residents present was issues with infection control and cross
contamination.
Interview with Executive Director on 5/8/24 at 12:45pm revealed staff writes sightings of pest in the pest log
and pest control was asked to come out immediately. Additionally, pest control would come monthly to
fumigate and would check the pest logs as well to ensure they were treating for any issues. The Director of
Plant Operations would also call the pest control company as needed. The risk of having pest in the facility,
particularly in the kitchen would be contamination of food.

where patients were hoarding food in their room. She worked at the facility for 7 years and had seen gnats
