In an interview with the MDS on 04/17/25 at 2:15 pm revealed Resident #48 was admitted from a local
hospital on [DATE] with a negative PL1. She said they (the facility) submitted what the local hospitals
provided. She said a Form 1012; Mental Illness/Dementia Resident Review (used to assist nursing facilities
in determining whether a resident with a negative PASRR Level 1 Screening form needs further evaluation
for mental illness, or when an individual's diagnosis was changed) should have been sent for Resident #48
because his diagnoses included major depressive disorder, recurrent, severe with psychotic symptoms, and
mood (affective) disorder dated 12/13/24. She said she just missed it. The MDS said she would submit a
Form 1012 today. She said a Form 1012 was for when a resident had a negative PL1 needed further
evaluation for mental illness or if the diagnosis changed.
In an interview with the SW on 04/17/25 at 2:18 pm, she said she just was not thinking about PASRR when
everything was going on with him at the time she submitted a mental health warrant on Resident #48. She
said the IDT worked as a group when a resident's behaviors were getting to be a problem. The SW said per
protocol, if the resident was in the hospital within 30 days of their most recent admission date, they would
not re-submit. She said the guideline did not specify if the PL1 should be resubmitted if there was a change
within those 30 days.
In an interview with the DON on 04/17/25 at 2:22 pm, she said Resident #48 was seen by psyche on
12/13/24. She said he returned from the local psyche hospital on [DATE]. She said there was no PL1

Interview with the DON on 04/15/25 at 4:00 PM revealed she stated she was aware Resident #214 had a
current pressure ulcer and was in use of a low air loss air mattress. The DON said Resident #214's
mattress pump should be set at the correct setting according to the resident's weight. The DON said each
nurse caring for the R #214, as well as the Treatment Nurse, should be checking the low air loss mattress
and pumps at the beginning of and throughout their shift for correct settings as per the physician orders and
or manufacturer instructions. The DON said the all staff in contact with the resident are responsible for
ensuring and implementing these practices. The DON said the purpose of the low air loss mattress was to
prevent and treat pressure injuries. The DON said if the mattress was set over R #214's weight, the
mattress was too firm placing the resident at risk for pressure injury worsening or possibly acquiring a new
pressure injury. The DON stated the resident was admitted with the pressure ulcer staged at unstagable

Record review of #50 physician's orders dated 04/15/25 revealed resident is to have weekly head to toe
skin assessments and a low air loss mattress to be checked for proper functioning.
Residents Affected - Few
Observation of Resident #50 on 04/15/25 at 9:10 AM revealed the air mattress was set at 350lbs on her
proactive mattress.
In an interview with LVN #B on 04/17/25 at 9:54 AM she stated the air mattress for resident #50 was a
preventive measure as she had pressure ulcers in the past. LVN#B stated she incorrect setting on the air
mattress can contribute to a pressure ulcer getting worse. LVN B also stated if a resident is on preventive
measure the incorrect setting can create new ulcers for the resident if the resident is at high risk for
pressure ulcers. LVN she received training for air mattress settings about a week ago.
Interview with the DON on 04/15/25 at 4:00 PM revealed she stated she was aware Resident #214 had a
current pressure ulcer and was in use of a low air loss air mattress. The DON said R #214s mattress pump
should be set at the correct setting according to the resident's weight. The DON said each nurse caring for
the R #214, as well as the Treatment Nurse, should be checking the low air loss mattress and pumps at the
beginning of and throughout their shift for correct settings as per the physician orders and or manufacturer
instructions. The DON said the all staff in contact with the resident are responsible for ensuring and
implementing these practices. The DON said the purpose of the low air loss mattress was to prevent and
treat pressure injuries. The DON said if the mattress was set over R #214's weight, the mattress was too
firm placing the resident at risk for pressure injury worsening or possibly acquiring a new pressure injury.
Review of the undated Proactive Protekt Aire 6000 Pressure and Low-Air-Loss Therapy Mattress
Replacement Systems Manufacturer's Instructions documented .Caution: Please cover the mattress with a
cotton sheet to avoid direct skin contact and for the patient's comfort, Users can adjust the pressure level of
the air mattress to a desired firmness by themselves or according to the suggestions from a health care
professional. It is recommended to press Auto Firm on the panel when the mattress is first inflated. User
can the easily adjust the air mattress to a desired firmness according to the patient's weight and comfort.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and
serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for
storage, preparation and sanitation.
1. The facility failed to ensure non-stick pans were not missing the coating.
The facility failed to ensure coffee cups and bowls were clean.
The facility failed to ensure product were 18 inches from the ceiling in the walk-in refrigerator and freezer.
The facility failed to ensure spices were not open to air.
The facility failed to ensure the walk-in freezer did not have ice accumulation inside of it.
The facility failed to ensure the FSM appropriately followed infection control practices when the FSM
grabbed the top of resident dessert cups by top rims with bare hands, while passing out meal trays to 5 of
24 residents in the dining room during lunch on 04/15/25.
2. The facility failed to ensure the FSM appropriately followed infection control practices when the FSM
grabbed the top of resident dessert cups by top rims with bare hands, while passing out meal trays to 5 of
24 residents in the dining room during lunch on 04/15/25.
These failures could place residents who received meals and/or snacks from the kitchen and satellite
kitchens at risk for food contamination and food borne illness.
Findings included:
1. During the initial tour and observation of the kitchen on 04/15/25 at 8:35 am revealed 4 non-stick type
pans with flaking and scrape marks in the coating. There were 58 of 58 coffee cups that were stained and
scratched. There were 4 of 12 plastic bowls with what appeared to be hardened food substance on and in
them. The dirty cups and bowls were on the clean rack. There were 10 of 19, 21-ounce containers of spices
that were open to air. There were 5 boxes of product and 11, 1-gallon containers in the walk-in refrigerator
that were stacked less than 6 inches from the ceiling. There were 7 boxes of product in the walk-in freezer
that were stacked less than 6 inches from the ceiling. There was ice accumulation behind the fan/condenser
and ice droplets on the ceiling of the walk-in freezer.
In an interview with the FSM on 04/15/25 at 8:35 am, she said she had worked in her position at the facility
for 2 years. She said the non-stick pans became bare of the coating due to wear and tear. She said the
kitchen staff used metal utensils in the non-stick pans because they were not allowed to use plastic
because plastic chipped off. She said she was trained that way by the former dietary manager two years
ago. She said she followed rules, wrong or right. She said it was not right to have used metal utensils in
non-stick pans. She said the right thing to do was to use plastic or rubber utensils in the non-stick pans
because that kind of material would not scratch or harm the coating. She said the non-stick pans would be
more expensive to replace than plastic or rubber utensils. She

said food got stuck in the non-stick pans when the coating was scratched. She said bacteria could get stuck
in the scratches on the non-stick pans, then the bacteria could transfer to the food, which would transfer to
the resident's and make them sick. She said she did not know if non-stick coating was toxic, but the chips of
it could get into the food and make residents sick. She said she had new cups to replace the stained and
scratched cups but had not put them out yet. She said the dirty cups and bowls were on the clean racks
and coffee cart that was being used for service. She said she did not know why she had not already
removed the stained and scratched cups when she got the new ones. She said all kitchen staff was
responsible for making sure dishes were clean before they were used, and she was ultimately responsible.
She said she would not want to drink from the dirty coffee cups. She said the dirty bowls looked like they
had old oatmeal stuck to them. She said the open spice containers were supposed to be closed at all times
to ensure insects, dust, or moisture did not contaminate the contents. She said contaminated spices could
change the flavor of the food and make residents sick. She said the boxes in the walk-in refrigerator and
freezer were a lot less than18 inches from the ceiling. She said the stacked boxes were a fire safety hazard
because they blocked the sprinklers. She said the ice droplets on the ceiling of the walk-in freezer were
because it was in defrost mode. She said she knew about the ice build-up behind the fan in the walk-in
freezer because she broke it (the ice) off whenever she cleaned the walk-in freezer. She said it (the ice
build-up) was always like that. She said she had not notified the MS about the ice build-up in the walk-in
freezer. She said the process for reporting kitchen needs was for her to tell the MS verbally.
Observation and interview with the FSM and RD during dining services on 04/15/25 at 12:46 pm revealed 4
of the dirty cups had been used for service and drank from by some of the residents (unknown). The FSM
said she did not know why the cups were on the resident's table and they had definitely been used. The RD
said the dirty cups on the table should never have been used due to cross contamination and because of
the potential to make resident's sick.
During an observation of dining on 04/15/25 at 12:51 PM the FSM was observed grabbing dessert cups
from the top of the lid while she passed out dessert to 5 of 25 residents.
In an interview on 04/15/25 at 01:02 PM the FSM stated by grabbing the dessert cups from the lids, it could
contaminate the dessert cups and make residents sick through cross contamination. The FSM stated she
did not realize she was grabbing the dessert cups from the lid and was just handing them out to residents.
The FSM stated she had just told the staff serving not to grab cups from the top only from the bottom. The
FSM stated there is no official staff training for serving food to residents in the dining room.
In an interview on 04/16/25 at 03:40 PM the DON stated staff should not grab resident dessert cups from
the top of the lids due to infection and cross contamination. The DON stated staff should grab the dessert
cups from the side or bottom. The DON stated the last infection control in-service was done monthly and all
staff are included. The DON stated the facility held a Skilled Fair on 02/5/25, and all staff were required to
attend for hands on infection control training.
In an interview on 04/17/25 at 11:58 AM the IP stated staff should not be grabbing any cups from the top
because they could get their hands in the food and cross contamination could occur. The IP stated staff
should be grabbing cups either underneath or on the side to avoid touching the rim of the cup. The IP
stated infection control in-services are conducted at least once a month with all staff.
In an interview with the MS on 04/17/25 at 3:53 pm, he said he worked at the facility for 11 years.

He said the process of getting kitchen repairs done was for the FSM to tell him verbally. He said there were
no logs or electronic reporting system, just word of mouth. He said he was unaware of the ice build-up on
the condenser fan box and ceiling of the walk-in freezer. He said he had seen boxes stacked in the walk-ins
within a foot of the ceiling. He said stacking boxes within 6 inches of the ceiling in the walk-ins was a no-no.
He said boxes stacked that high could cause a fire safety hazard by blocking the sprinklers should there be
a fire. He said the boxes and containers should be only 18 inches from the ceiling. He said he never said
anything to the FSM or kitchen staff or in-serviced them about the potential fire safety hazard. He said there
was no way to track repairs because there were no logs for any repairs other than maybe emails.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to maintain clinical records on each resident that were
complete and accurately documented in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for
3 (Residenst #30, #34, and #55) of 4 residents reviewed for accuracy and completeness of clinical records.
The facility failed to obtain and/or revise advanced directive orders for Residents #30, #34, and #55.
This deficient practice could affect residents who require care and monitoring and place them at risk of
receiving or not receiving advanced directives to meet their needs.
The findings were:
1.Record review of Resident #30's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of
[DATE] and initial and original admission dates of [DATE]. Diagnoses included Diabetes, stroke with
subsequent weakness on both sides and speech deficit, heart disease, depression, kidney failure, morbid
obesity, schizophrenia, psychosis, impaired vision, and anxiety.
Record review of Resident #30's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 13 indicating intact
cognition. She was independent with eating, required moderate assistance with upper body dressing,
rolling left and right, sitting up, chair to bed transfers, and personal hygiene. She required substantial
assistance with oral hygiene, toileting, and lower body dressing. She utilized a motorized wheelchair, was
frequently incontinent of bladder and occasionally incontinent of bowel.
Record review of Resident #30's care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #30 requested Code Status of:
Full Code (perform CPR-cardiopulmonary resuscitation) Date Initiated: [DATE] Revision on: [DATE].
Record review of Resident #30's active physician orders revealed no code status ordered. There was no
code status in her order summary or on her profile page.
In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 1:47 pm, she said Resident #30 did not have Advanced
Directives for resident #30 and did not know how it could have happened because the care plans pulled
from the physician orders. She said the facility transitioned to their electronic health record system starting
on [DATE] and had been refining it ever since. She said advanced directives were reviewed on admission,
during a care coordination meeting on ([DATE]) after admission, as needed, significant changes or a care
plan meeting. She said the nurse managers reviewed the orders and the SW reviewed the code statuses of
all new admissions and care plans and significant changes. She said the SW entered and inputs the
advanced directive orders-she just missed it. The DON said she was responsible for overseeing accuracy
and completion. She said she missed it too. She could not say how often advanced directives were
reviewed.
2.Record review of Resident #34's face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of
[DATE]. Diagnoses included respiratory failure, dementia, high blood pressure, and heart failure.

Record review of Resident #34's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 09, indicating
moderate cognitive impairment. She required supervision with eating, oral hygiene, and positioning in bed.
She required moderate assistance with sitting up, lying down, and upper body dressing. She required
substantial assistance with all other ADL's including transferring and mobility via wheelchair. She was

Record review of Resident #34's active physician orders revealed no code status ordered. There was no
code status in her order summary or on her profile page.
In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 1:47 pm, she said Resident #34 did not have Advanced
Directives and did not know how it could have happened because the care plans pulled from the physician
orders. She said the facility transitioned to their electronic health record system starting on [DATE] and had
been refining it ever since. She said advanced directives were reviewed on admission, during a care
coordination meetings, after admission, as needed, significant changes or a care plan meeting. She said it
was on her admission assessment dated [DATE] (confirmed). She said the nurse managers reviewed the
orders and the SW reviewed the code statuses of all new admissions and care plans and significant
changes. She said the SW entered and inputs the advanced directive orders-she just missed it. The DON
said she was responsible for overseeing accuracy and completion. She said she missed it too. She could
not say how often advanced directives were reviewed.
3.Record review of Resident #55's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of
[DATE] and original and initial dates of [DATE]. Diagnoses included obesity, stroke with subsequent inability
to speak or swallow, anoxic (lack of oxygen) brain damage, gastrostomy tube, depression, anxiety, high
blood pressure, heart failure, liver failure, convulsions (seizures), and history of sudden cardiac arrest.
Record review of Resident #55's initial admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 00
indicating severe cognitive impairment. She was dependent on staff for all ADL's and required a mechanical
lift for transfers. She could sit in a wheelchair but could not propel one. She was always incontinent of
bladder and bowel.
Record review of Resident #55's care plan dated [DATE] revealed Full Code dated initiated [DATE] and
revised on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #55's active physician orders revealed no code status ordered. There was no
code status in her order summary or on her profile page.
In an interview with the DON on [DATE] at 2:27 pm, she said Resident #55's advanced directives were not
on her profile. She said it was not in the physician orders. She said her Care plan coded her as a full code.
She said it was missed by the SW and by reviewers including herself. She said if there was not a code
status in the system, the resident would be a full code, even if their wishes were to be a DNR (Do Not
Resuscitate). She said staff knew the resident's code status by looking at their profile or the physician's
orders. She said Resident #55 did not have a code status ordered, so she would be a full code. She said
every nurse that had seen her chart would have seen there was no code status, and no one brought it to
her attention so she could have fixed it much sooner. She said the SW could input orders, but the nurses
had to confirm the orders.

In an interview with the SW on [DATE] at 3:39 pm, she said her role in advanced directives was to make
sure they were in the charts and to ask the residents if they want to be DNR or Full Code. She said the
nurses do it on the weekends. She said she thought she put Resident #55's advanced directive in her chart
but she just missed it. She said the outcome could be that if something happened, there would be a lot of
chaos. She said advanced directives defaulted to Full Code. She said if Resident #55 was a DNR, she
would have gotten CPR against her and her family's will. She said there were a lot of people that saw that
but did not make anyone aware. She said it was her responsibility. She said she must have missed
Resident #30 and Resident #34's as well.
Record review of the facility policy dated [DATE], titled, Advanced Directives revealed under #1. An
Acknowledgement Receipt for Advance Directives/Medical Treatment Decisions must be completed for
each Patient upon admission and upon any change in the status of the Patient's Advance Directives. #5.
The Advanced Directive report must be reviewed daily for all Patients. The Social Worker or designee must
verify the Advance Directive report for accuracy to ensure the clinical record reflects the current advanced
directive status and use it to monitor the existence of a DNR.
