interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to formulate an advance
directive for 1 (Resident #1) of 15 residents reviewed for advance directives.The facility failed to ensure
Resident #1's DNR was dated by the physician, thereby rendering it invalid.This failure could place
residents at risk of not having their end-of-life wishes honored. Findings Included:Record review of Resident
#1's admission record dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of the
kidneys leading to kidney failure), type 2 diabetes (insufficient production of insulin, causing high blood
sugar), and heart failure (heart muscle fails to pump blood as it should). Resident #1's advance directive
was listed as DNR.Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS completed on [DATE] revealed a BIMS
score of 6 which indicated severely impaired cognition.Record review of Resident #1's care plan completed
on [DATE] revealed the following: The resident's advance directives are: DNR . The resident's wishes will be
honored throughout the review period. Honor the resident's wishes.Record review of Resident #1's

DNR was, We could be letting someone pass when we should be doing a code on them.During an
interview on [DATE] at 12:04 PM ADM stated facility staff were responsible as a team to ensure resident
advance directives were honored. She stated during admission it was made clear to residents and their
families that if they opted for a DNR it had to be signed by a doctor before it could go into effect. ADM

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents who use psychotropic drugs
receive gradual dose reductions, and behavioral interventions, unless clinically contraindicated, in an effort
to discontinue these drugs for 1 (Resident #7) of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary drugs.The facility
failed to ensure a gradual dose reduction of Resident #7's four psychotropic medications was attempted or
contraindicated from May 2024 to December 2025.This failure could lead to residents being
overmedicated.Findings Included:Record review of Resident #7's admission record dated 12/16/25
revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were
not limited to Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental

recommendations and did not know where else to look for more recent gradual dose reductions.During an
interview on 12/16/25 at 04:08 PM RN A stated a resident could be negatively affected by not having a
gradual dose reduction for psychotropic medications because the medication might become less effective
against their symptoms, they could have withdraw symptoms, or their symptoms might worsen.During an
interview on 12/16/25 at 04:11 PM I-DON stated she was not sure how often a gradual dose reduction
should be considered for psychotropic medications. She stated that was a good question for CN. I-DON
stated a possible negative outcome for a resident not receiving a gradual dose reduction was if you can get
them (residents) off of it

(psychotropic medication), that is great.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 04:15 PM CN stated the facility
was responsible for ensuring a gradual dose reduction was considered for every resident receiving
psychotropic medications at least yearly. He stated a possible negative outcome of not addressing gradual
dose reductions was, It could be that we are medicating a resident who doesn't need to be
medicated.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 04:19 PM Pharm stated gradual dose reductions for
psychotropic medications should be addressed at least quarterly. She stated in her personal opinion there
was no negative outcome to a resident if that was not done because she believed psychotropic medications
should very rarely be reduced in dose because it could result in unwanted withdraw symptoms and
exacerbation of the original symptoms.Record review of facility policy titled Unnecessary Drugs and dated
11/2/2025 revealed the following: . It is the facility's policy that each resident's entire drug/medication
regimen is managed and monitored to promote or maintain the resident's highest practicable mental,
physical and psychosocial well-being free from unnecessary drugs. The policy did not address gradual
dose reduction for psychotropic medications.

any orders for TED Hose, CNA B stated Resident #36 did not have any orders for TED hose. She stated
she had never put the TED hose on Resident #36. She stated she did not know what the care plan said and
had not looked at it. In an interview on 12/15/25 at 11:20 am Resident #36's family member stated she had
taken Resident #36 to the cardiologist last month and the cardiologist wrote the order for the TED hose.
She stated the cardiologist stated it would be good for Resident #36 to wear them. The family member
stated she brought the order back and gave it to the facility staff in the front office. The family member
stated she had made visits to the facility several times a week and she had not seen Resident#36 wearing
any TED hose. The family member stated she cleaned and straightened Resident #36 drawers every week
and she had not seen any TED hose in her drawer. In an interview and record review on 12/15/25 at 2:55
pm, the I-DON reviewed the TAR and stated the initials on the November and December TAR for Resident #
36 were hers. When asked if she had passed meds or done any ADL care for Resident # 36 in the past
month, she stated she had not. When asked if she had been aware there was an order for Resident # 36 to
wear TED hose daily, she stated she had not known of the order for TED hose. Review of the TAR with
I-DON revealed the TED hose boxes had been checked as completed by her. I-DON replied, Oh shit. The
I-DON then stated she must have clicked the wrong box by mistake. The I-DON stated Resident #36 did not
have any TED hose in the facility. She stated the facility had to order the TED hose and the facility had not
ordered the hose yet. The I-DON stated Resident #36 had edema all the time and she was encouraged to
put her legs up in her recliner. The I-DON stated the nurse providing care was responsible for filling out the
MAR and TAR. The I-DON stated she reviewed the TAR for the residents at the end of the day and had
gone through the TAR and clicked the boxes to complete tasks as she went. She stated

she had not let the agency staff document on the MAR or TAR. She stated the consequences for checking
boxes on the TAR without providing service would be inaccurate records and poor care for the residents. In
an interview on 12/15/25 at 3:00 pm RN A stated she had not done any med pass for Resident #36 and
had not assisted her with any ADLs or dressing. She stated she had not been aware of Resident #36
having an order to wear TED hose. She stated she had not seen her wearing TED hose. She stated she did
not know if she had any TED hose or not. When asked if she had completed the TAR documenting Resident

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
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 ensure residents who were trauma survivors
receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice
and accounting for residents' experiences and preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that
may cause re-traumatization of the resident for 1 (Resident #6) of 15 residents reviewed for
trauma-informed care.The facility did not ensure Resident #6 had a trauma screening that identified
possible triggers when Resident #6 had a history of trauma. This failure could put residents at an increased
risk for severe psychological distress due to re-traumatization. Findings Included: Record review of
Resident #6's admission record dated 12/14/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance
or know physiological condition (mental health disorder characterized by a loss of touch with reality where
the exact cause cannot be identified), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions characterized by
excessive and persistent worry, fear, and nervousness that can significantly interfere with daily life), and
post-traumatic stress disorder chronic (mental health condition caused by a traumatic event that affects
your ability to function normally).Record review of Resident #6's quarterly MDS completed on 11/05/25
revealed a BIMS score of 7 which indicated severely impaired cognition. Section I Active Diagnoses
revealed Resident #6 was coded as having PTSD.Record review of Resident #6's care plan completed on
10/15/25 revealed he was care planned for experiencing excessive worry, nervousness or unease which
may interfere with daily functioning and quality of life. Resident has history of trauma or post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), which may impact emotional well-being, daily functioning, and response to care.
Resident has PTSD related to past traumatic experiences, evidenced by anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep
disturbance, and verbalized intrusive memories. Interventions listed were initiated on 08/25/25 and
included, but were not limited to, the following: Assess resident's trauma history and triggers (as they are
willing to disclose), emotional responses, and coping strategies Develop an individualized care approach
that avoids known triggers and incorporates resident-preferred coping mechanisms (e.g., calming music,
quiet time, grounding techniques). Ensure all staff are educated on trauma-informed care principles and
specific resident considerations to promote a safe, respectful care environment. Monitor for signs of
re-traumatization (e.g., agitation, nightmares, avoidance behaviors) and report patterns to the
interdisciplinary team for care plan adjustment. Assess resident for PTSD symptoms daily (anxiety,
flashbacks, nightmares, triggers). Document resident's identified triggers and preferred calming strategies
in care plan.Record review of Resident #6's EHR assessments tab revealed a Brief Trauma Questionnaire
completed on 08/21/25 by the previous DON.Record review of Resident #6's Brief Trauma Questionnaire
revealed it was completed on 08/21/25 by his resident representative and the following questions were
answered yes for Resident #6: Event 1: Have you ever served in a war zone, or have you ever served in a
noncombat job that exposed you to war-related casualties? If the event happened, did you think your life
was in danger or you might be seriously injured? If the event happened, were you seriously injured? Event
4: Have you ever had a life-threatening illness such as cancer, heart attack, leukemia, AIDS, multiple
sclerosis, etc? If the event happened did you think your life was in danger? Event 8: Have you ever been in
any other situation in which you were seriously injured, or have you ever been in any other situation in
which you feared you might be seriously injured or killed? If the event happened, were you seriously
injured? Event 9: Has a close family member or friend died violently, for example, in a serious

attempted interview on 12/14/25 at 12:14 PM Resident #6 was seated at a table in the dining room. He did
not have any food in front of him, and he was making chewing motions with his mouth. He did not respond
to questions but did nod when asked if he was [name of Resident #6].During an observation and interview
on 12/15/25 at 11:52 AM Resident #6 was seated at a table in the dining room. He did not have any food on
the table yet. He nodded when asked if staff were taking good of him and nodded again when asked if he
was okay. When asked about triggers for his PTSD he looked into the middle distance and began to make
chewing motions with his mouth.During an interview on 12/15/25 at 02:00 PM I-DON stated Resident #6
was his own emergency contact. When asked who the resident representative was who filled out his trauma
screening, she stated it was probably her (I-DON). She stated, I don't speak Cuban.but we were translating
back and forth.During an interview on 12/15/25 at 02:30 PM RN A stated she had worked for the facility for
3.5 months and had not received training on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 in regard to
his PTSD diagnosis. She stated, I keep my eye on him and if he is crying, I get someone to interpret for me.
I make sure he is comfortable. She stated that Resident #6 said his legs hurt when she asked him why he
was crying. She stated she did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers were.During an interview on
12/15/25 at 02:33 PM CNA I stated she had been working in the facility for a month and had not received
training on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 regarding his PTSD diagnosis.During an
interview on 12/15/25 at 02:41 PM CNA G stated she had worked for the facility for 31 years and was
trained all the time on how to care for Resident #6 in regard to his PTSD diagnosis. She could not provide
details of the training except to mention that Resident #6 could get upset and/or angry easily.During an
interview on 12/15/25 at 02:51 PM I-DON stated regarding Resident #6, We just monitor him, if he gets
anxious, we remove him from the situation he is in. We let him decide and guide us on what we need to do.
Sometimes he just needs quiet. She stated she had seen him be triggered by Westerns on TV. She stated
she did not know if it was the gunfire or what it was that triggered Resident #6. I-DON stated once he was
triggered, he might need to be put to bed for 15 or 20 minutes to calm him down. I-DON stated Resident
#6's voice would raise an [NAME] to two if he was triggered. She stated she did not know any details of
Resident #6's trauma.During an interview on 12/15/25 at 03:41 PM ADM stated she had no evidence of the
IDT meeting mentioned on the bottom of Resident #6's Brief Trauma Questionnaire having taken
place.During an observation and interview on 12/15/25 at 03:59 PM Resident #6 was seated in his
wheelchair in the common area. AD interpreted for the surveyor and asked him if he was willing to answer
some questions. He looked past us into the middle distance and began making chewing motions with his
mouth. AD stated, Oh wow. He is not going to talk. He usually talks a lot. I bet it is because he doesn't
recognize you (surveyor).During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:02 AM CNA J stated she had received
training on how to approach Resident #6 if he was cranky. She stated he has mood swings. CNA J stated, If
you speak Spanish to him, he is a little better towards you. She stated speaking Spanish to Resident #6
helped calm him if he was upset. CNA J stated she did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers were.

trauma-informed care was staff would not know how to take care of and approach Resident #6.During an
interview on 12/16/25 at 11:05 AM RN A stated she did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers were.
She stated, I think it just randomly happens. When he gets upset there is usually a reason for it like another
resident is making him mad. I think that if you get too close to his personal space that causes him to trigger.
She stated a possible negative outcome of not providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 was, He
might lash out. He seems like he is hyperaware of everything that is going on. He is always looking
around.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:29 AM CNA B stated she had not received training on
providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 in light of his PTSD diagnosis. She stated, I didn't know
about that. I thought it (his behavior) was because he is always hurting. She stated she had noticed moving
too quick triggered Resident #6.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:36 AM I-DON stated she had not
received training on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6 and she had not trained staff on
providing trauma-informed care for him. She stated, We pretty much let him lead us which way he wants to
go.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:41 AM MA K stated she had not received training on providing
trauma-informed care for Resident #6. She stated she did not know what any of Resident #6's triggers
were.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:53 AM CN stated it was the responsibility of the IDT to ensure a
resident with a history of trauma received trauma-informed care. He stated if a facility did not have a social
worker (as was the case for this facility at the time of survey) the responsibility fell on I-DON and ADM. CN
stated he had not trained staff on providing trauma-informed care for Resident #6. He stated he did not
know what any of Resident #6's triggers were. CN stated, To be honest, I did not realize he had PTSD. He
stated a resident with a history of trauma could be negatively affected if the facility did not provide
trauma-informed care. CN stated, That that trigger them we may inadvertently do and not know. We could
put him too close to another resident who yells a lot and that might trigger him. We have to look out for his
triggers and try to protect him from those.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 12:04 PM ADM, when asked if
staff had been trained to provide trauma-informed care for Resident #6, stated, As far as I know we have
trained them on his aggressive behaviors but I don't know about PTSD specifically because I was not even
aware he has PTSD so I didn't check up on them (trainings). She stated she did not know what any of
Resident #6's triggers were. She stated a resident with a history of trauma could probably be negatively
impacted if staff did not provide trauma-informed care. ADM stated, It might cause them to have even more
trauma.Record review of facility policy titled Trauma Informed Care and dated 11/2/2025 revealed the
following: . It is the policy of this facility to provide care and services which in addition to meeting
professional standards, are delivered using approaches which are culturally-competent, account for
experiences and preference, and address the needs of trauma survivors by minimizing triggers and/or
re-traumatization. ‘Trauma' results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is
experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting
adverse effects on the individual's functioning and mental physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being.
Common sources of trauma may include, but are not limited to: . f. War . i. Traumatic life events (death of a
loved one, personal illness, etc.) ‘Trauma-Informed Care' is an approach to delivering care that involves
understanding, recognizing and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed
approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact and signs and symptoms of trauma in
residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to
avoid re-traumatization. The facility will work to facilitate the principles of trauma informed care which
include: a. Safety - Ensuring residents have a sense of emotional and physical safety. b. Trustworthiness

transparency - Efforts to establish a relationship based on trust, and clear and open communication
between staff and the resident. c. Peer support and mutual self-help - If practicable, assist the resident in
locating and arranging to attend support groups. d. Collaboration - an emphasis on partnering between
residents and/or his or her representative, an all staff and disciplines involved in the resident's care in
developing the plan of care. The facility will use a multi-pronged approach in identifying a resident's history
of trauma, as well as his or her cultural preferences. This will include asking the resident about triggers that
may be stressors or may prompt recall of a previous traumatic event as well as screening and assessment
tools . The facility will collaborate with resident trauma survivors, and as appropriate, the resident's family,
friends, the primary care physician, and any other health care professionals . to develop and implement
individualized care plan interventions. The facility will identify triggers which may re-traumatize residents
with a history of trauma. Trigger-specific interventions will identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure
to triggers which re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the
trigger on the resident and will be added to the resident's care plan. While most triggers are highly
individualized, some common triggers may include, but are not limited to: a. Experiencing a lack of privacy
or confinement in a crowded or small space. b. Exposure to loud noises, or bright/flashing lights. d. Sounds,
smells, and physical touch. Trauma-specific care plan interventions will recognize the interrelation between
trauma and symptoms of trauma such as substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety.
These interventions will also recognize the survivor's need to be respected, informed, connected, and
hopeful regarding their own recovery. In situations where a trauma survivor is reluctant to share their
history, the facility will still try to identify triggers which may re-traumatize the resident, and develop care
plan interventions which minimize or eliminate the effect of the trigger on the resident.

returned to Resident #38's room to administer insulin with the same gloves that she performed all previous
tasks with. Once procedures were completed RN D never performed hand hygiene. During an observation
on 12/14/2025 at 7:23 PM RN D did not perform hand hygiene before the preparation of the glucometer, or
the performance of the glucose check for Resident #57. RN D took glucometer, lancet, and alcohol wipe
into the room and placed the equipment on Resident #57's bedside table, which was dirty from an
unidentified spilled liquid. RN D then performed glucose check for Resident #57. RN D left Resident #57's
room with no hand hygiene and removed her gloves in the hallway at her medication cart. No hand hygiene
was performed before the preparation of Resident #57's insulin. RN D attempted to put gloves on and when
the gloves that RN D pulled from the box would not go on her hands, RN D proceeded to wipe her hands
on her scrubs and then place her hands in clean gloves. No hand hygiene was performed before or after
the administration of the insulin to Resident #57. During an observation on 12/14/2025 at 7:32 PM RN D did

same gloves that she used with Resident #14, and no hand hygiene or glove changes were ever
performed. During an interview on 12/14/2025 at 7:48 PM RN D stated the negative outcome for not
knocking or announcing oneself or providing privacy during a treatment would be lack of privacy for the
residents. RN D stated performing hand hygiene or glove changes could lead to infection control issues.
During a phone interview on 12/16/2025 at 9:43 AM RN D was asked why placement of Resident 4's g-tube
was not checked before the administration of medication. RN D stated that the medication was running and
that the nurse on the previous shift performed that check. RN D was asked if she could verify that the
previous nurse actually did check the placement and she stated that she trusted them to do that. RN D was
asked if there was a negative outcome for not checking the placement of the g-tube before the
administration of a medication. RN D stated, I don't think so, because it was running. RN D was asked if the
g-tube could be dislodged during resident care like a brief change or bed change and RN D stated that it is
a possibility. RN D was asked what the facility's policy stated, RN D stated I'm sorry I don't know. RN D
stated a negative outcome could possibly be the feeding could get into the resident's gut and not her
stomach. During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:03 AM I-DON was asked if g-tube placement is verified
every time before using. I-DON stated that I do. I-DON stated the negative outcome for not checking
placement of g-tube before administering medications, was it (food or medications) wouldn't be going in the
right spot. During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:13 AM CN stated a negative outcome for not checking
placement of a g-tube was if the g-tube had slipped out of the GI tract the tube could be lodged in the
wrong area. CN stated a negative outcome was for not performing hand hygiene or glove changes at the
appropriate times could lead to infection for the residents. CN also stated nursing staff not having the skill
set or the competencies to take care of the residents was very concerning for resident's care and
well-being. During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 12:03 PM CN stated not knocking on the door to a

pureed bread for the lunch meal on 12/14/25 and 12/15/25 which altered the flavor of the bread. B. Foods
from the test tray were not prepared by methods that conserve flavor. These failures could place any
resident who consumes food prepared and served by dietary services at risk for dissatisfaction with the
food and possible resulting nutrition deficit. Findings Included:In an observation and interview on 12/14/25
at 10:20 am, [NAME] H stated she had already pureed the foods for lunch and pointed to the steam table.
She stated she had pureed the foods at 10:00 am and had used leftover sweet potatoes from the day
before in the bread. She stated she always used leftover foods to puree bread. She stated she regularly
used leftover cake, fruit and sweet potatoes to puree bread. She stated there were 4 residents with pureed
diets. In an observation and interview on 12/14/25 at 1:00 pm, test trays were sampled. The pureed test tray
consisted of pureed beef roast, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, a dinner roll and pineapple cake. The
pureed bread was thick in texture extremely sweet and did not taste like bread. The bread tasted like sweet
potatoes. The beef roast was very bland and needed salt. The pureed vegetables were unidentifiable and
tasted sweet. [NAME] H stated she pureed the bread with sweet potatoes as she thought the residents
would eat it better. In an observation and interview on 12/15/25 at 10:30 am [NAME] H stated she had
already pureed the bread with baked apples. [NAME] H stated the baked apples were being used for the
noon dessert today. This writer tasted the pureed bread. The bread was thick in consistency like glue and
stuck to the mouth and the spoon. The bread tasted like apple pie. [NAME] H tasted the bread and stated
the bread tasted good like apple pie. In an interview on 12/15/25 at 2:46 pm, the RD stated foods should
not be prepared with leftover foods like sweet potatoes or fruit and bread should have been pureed with a
liquid like milk. She stated she was not aware the staff had done that. She stated all staff should be
following the preprinted recipes for purees. She stated you should not put anything in a puree that was not
listed as an approved liquid because it would change the texture and someone could be allergic to a food.
She further stated the food would not taste right. She stated she had been in the facility at least monthly
and had trained the kitchen staff in their kitchen duties. She stated having foods pureed with other foods
like sweet potatoes could compromise foods in palatability, consistency and nutritive value. During an
interview on 12/16/25 at 3:00 pm, the DM stated the RD had spoken to her about pureeing foods with
sweet potatoes and apples. She stated the RD told her not to do that anymore. The DM stated she had no
recipes for pureed bread and no policies for pureed foods. She stated the cooks use the handout titled
Pureed Food Guidelines to prepare purees. The DM said milk was the normal liquid added to pureed bread.
The DM stated many breads did not normally puree very well with milk. She said she found the residents
on pureed diets had eaten better if the foods were sweet. The DM stated she trained the kitchen staff, and
she had been trained by the dietician in meal preparation and following recipes. Record Review of the
undated handout titled Pureed Foods Guidelines revealed: Add appropriate liquid (ex: broth, milk) if
needed, to assist with pureeing. Pureed food should not be sticky. Pureed food should fall off the spoon in a
single spoonful when tilted and continue to hold shape on a plate. Examples of liquids to use for bread- milk

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 store, prepare, distribute, and serve
food in accordance with the professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for
kitchen sanitation. 1. The facility failed to ensure walk in cooler items were properly stored, labeled, and
dated.2. The facility failed to ensure proper hot holding procedures were practiced. These failures could
place residents who ate food served by the kitchen at risk of food-borne illness. Findings
Included:Observation of the walk-in cooler on 12/14/25 at 10:17 am revealed 2 trays of cake pops on the
top shelf of the cooler rack. One of the 2 trays was sitting directly under a pipe with a frozen water icicle
hanging from the pipe. Both trays of cake pops had not been covered, labeled or dated. In an observation
and interview on 12/4/25 at 10:20 am, [NAME] H stated she had already pureed the foods for lunch and
pointed to the steam table. She stated she had pureed the foods at 10:00 am and had put the foods on the
steam table then. She stated there were 4 residents with pureed diets. She stated the lunch service would
start at 12 PM and room trays were plated first. She stated plating food for the dining room would start after
room trays were plated. She stated the residents with pureed diets were served at the end of the meal
service and they ate in the dining room. An observation of the foods on the steam table revealed all pureed
foods were on the steam table. In an observation on 12/14/25 at 11:00 am the pureed foods were seen on
the steam table. [NAME] H stated food service would start at 12: 00 pm. In an observation on 12/14/25 at
12:00 pm the pureed food items were on the steam table and had not been served. In an observation on
12/14/25 at 12:30 pm the pureed foods were on the steam table and had not been served yet. In an
observation on 12/14/25 at 12:40 pm the pureed meals were served at the end of the service. In an
observation on 12/14/25 at 3:33 pm, 2 trays of cake pops on the top shelf inside the cooler. One of the 2
trays of cake pops had been sitting directly under a pipe with a frozen water icicle hanging from the pipe.
The 2 trays of cake pops had not been covered, labeled or dated. In an interview on 12/15/25 at 2:46 pm,
the RD stated foods should not be prepared and put on the serving line until it was time to serve foods. She
stated she was not aware the staff had placed pureed food on the steam table hours before meal service.
She stated all staff should be covering, labeling and dating all foods. She stated she had been in the facility
at least monthly and had trained the kitchen staff in their kitchen duties. She stated having food on the
serving line for so long could compromise foods in palatability, consistency and nutritive value. She stated
issues in the kitchen could cause food borne illness. In an interview on 12/16/25 at 3:00 pm, the DM stated
the RD had told her not to put the foods on the serving line so early. She stated the foods are not usually
put on the serving line that early. She stated the cake pops should have been covered, labeled and dated.
She stated she had thrown out the cake pops. She stated the consequences of not covering labeling and
dating the cake pops would be cross contamination for the residents. She stated she expected all staff to
label and date all food items when used and stored. She stated if foods were not properly wrapped up or
labeled and dated this could cause food contamination and sickness to residents. The DM stated she
trained the kitchen staff, and she had been trained by the dietician in labeling and dating as well as meal
service. Record Review of the facility policy and procedure, dated 12/1/11, titled Food Holding and Service
documented:3. Food is placed on steam table no more than 30 minutes prior to meal service Record

observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to, in accordance with professional standards
and practices, maintain medical records on each resident that are accurately documented for 3 (Resident
#6, Resident #36, and Resident #41) of 15 residents reviewed for accuracy of medical records.1. The
facility failed to ensure Resident #6's EHR did not contain NP progress notes for a female resident with his
same last name.2. The facility failed to ensure the nurse checking boxes in Resident #36's TAR was
providing the treatment being checked off.3. Facility failed to ensure Resident #41's medication bubble pack
for her Carbidopa-Levodopa 25mg-100mg's instructions for dosing matched Resident #41's current
medication orders.These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary and accurate
care/treatment due to inaccurate medical records.Findings Included:1. Record review of Resident #6's
admission record dated 12/14/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or know

not accurate, We might miss something that is potentially going wrong with them, for instance, if they get a
new diagnosis.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:36 AM I-DON stated Resident #6's EHR should not
contain any other resident's progress notes. She stated inaccurate medical records could negatively impact
a resident's care.During an interview on 12/16/25 at 11:53 AM CN stated a possible negative outcome to
residents of inaccurate medical records was, We could be treating the resident wrong if the records are
inaccurate. Not treating them for what they really need to be treated for.During an interview on 12/16/25 at
12:04 PM ADM stated resident records needed to be accurate for the residents to receive accurate care.2.
