observation and interview on [DATE] at 10:28 a.m. Resident #31 was sitting in his wheelchair in his room.
He said he did not want anyone to do CPR on him, he wanted to die in peace.During an interview on
[DATE] at 12:00 PM, the SW said if a DNR form was not completed correctly with accurate dates and
signatures, the DNR would be invalid. The SW said it was the social worker's responsibility to ensure DNR
forms were completed accurately to include signatures and dates. The SW said she must have not been
looking in detail like she should have. The SW said she would check all the DNRs for proper completeness
of signatures and dates. The SW said a resident's wishes may not have been followed if their advance
directive was not completed.During an interview on [DATE] at 2:10 PM the DON said Advance Directives
were reviewed by the admitting nurse and social worker to ensure accuracy. The DON said Advance
Directives should be completed thoroughly to include dates that the document was witnessed, signed, and
no scribble or written over letters. The DON verified there were no additional advance directives for
Resident #21 or #31. The DON verified the current Advance Directives for Residents #21 and #31 were not
completed. The DON said Resident #21's DNR #1 Witness did not have a dated signature and the date #2
Witness signed was 2 days after the adult relative had signed the DNR indicating the signing was not
witnessed. The DON said Resident #31's DNR had written over letters and it should have been corrected
with a cross out line and initialed or rewritten in its entirety. The DON said it was important for Advance
Directives to be completed thoroughly to ensure the documents were legally binding. The DON said if an
advance directive was not completed, the resident's wishes may not be honored. The DON said she would
ensure the advance directives for Resident #21 and #31 were updated as soon as possible. During an
interview on [DATE] at 2:30 p.m. the Administrator said if a DNR form was not completed correctly with
accurate dates and signatures, the DNR would be invalid. She said that in such a case, staff would be
required to initiate CPR, which would go against the resident's expressed wishes. The Administrator said
she believed it was the social worker's responsibility to ensure DNR forms were completed accurately and
in accordance with requirements, The Administrator said hospice services obtained the DNR on Resident
#21 and should have ensured it was complete but ultimately it was the facility's responsibility. The
Administrator said the negative outcome would be the resident could have CPR performed on them against
their wishes and she would check the other Residents with DNRs for completeness. Record review of the

indicated she is a [AGE] year-old female that was re-admitted to the facility 11/09/2025. Diagnoses
included- type 2 diabetes, periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left knee joint (a fracture around
a knee joint replacement), weakness, candidiasis of skin and nails (fungal growth on nails and skin), lack of
coordination, edema (swelling on body). Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE]
indicated she had a BIMS score of 15, indicating she was cognitively intact. In section N - medicationsResident #2 was taking insulin injections that control her blood sugar. Section M- skin conditions indicated
clinical assessments were needed to determine her risk for pressure ulcers and risk for injury. Resident #2
was at risk for developing pressure ulcers and injuries. Resident #2 had no unhealed pressure ulcers or
ulcer/ injuries at readmission, diabetic foot ulcers, other lesions on the foot skin tears, or moisture
associated skin damage. (11/09/2025) Record review of Resident #2's care plan, dated 11/06/2025,

of wound care treatment was needed. Resident #2's care plan stated The resident has Diabetes Mellitus
and is currently receiving Insulin lispro, glargine. Interventions: Inspect feet daily for open areas, sores,
pressure areas, blisters, edema or redness. During an observation and interview on 12/08/2025 at 10:00
a.m., Resident #2 had 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe- 0.50 cm left 3rd toe- 1.20 cm x 1.00 cm, x 0.50

addressing her 3 skin tears on her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toe on the left foot. She said infection could potentially
be a risk to Resident #2 if her 3 skin tears on her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toe on the left foot was not care
planned. During an interview with the Wound Care Nurse on 12/09/2025 at 10:49 a.m., she said she was
responsible for updating wound care plans, and the DON initiates the wound care plans. She said Resident

daily skin assessments. She said Resident #2's 3 skin tears should have been care planned. She said she
had been trained and in-serviced on the importance of updating residents' care plans. She said infection
and diabetic ulcers could potentially be a risk to residents if not care planned. During an interview with the
DON on 12/10/2025 at 12:00 p.m., she said she was responsible for initiating wound care plans and the
Wound Care Nurse was responsible for updating the care plan. She said the Wound Care Nurse does a
daily skilled skin assessment on Resident #2. She said Resident #2 had 3 skin abrasions to her left foot,
not 3 skin tears. She said her expectation was for care plans to be accurate, effective, and meet the needs
of residents. She said staff had been trained and in-serviced on the importance and need for care plans.

received any orders regarding the care/ treatment needed for Resident #2's left foot toes. She said she was
responsible for daily skilled head-to-toe assessments. She said she had not done a complete head-to-toe
assessment daily because she had her as a resident every time she had worked so she would do glance
assessments. She said she did not document in the nurses' notes, complete a nursing skin assessment,
nor initiate any interventions nor notify the doctor, or treatment nurse. LVN B said she did not know how nor
when Resident #2 got the 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe,3rd toe, 4th toe. She said she should have
communicated her findings to the Wound Care Nurse and followed up to ensure orders were made for
Resident #2 toes on her left foot. LVN B said Resident #2's left foot could potentially get worse if not treated
is the associated risk that could occur.During an interview with the Wound Care Nurse on 12/09/2025 at
10:49 a.m., she said she was responsible for weekly and as needed head-to-toe skin assessments. She
said her head-to-toe assessments consisted of her looking thoroughly at residents' skin from their head
down to their toes for any new changes to residents' skin. She said it is important to complete skin
assessments accurately because skin helps prevent infections because it covers the entire body and is the
body's first barrier. The Wound Care Nurse said diabetic residents' skin should be closely, accurately, and
thoroughly assessed because they had a greater risk for complications related to infection. She said
diabetic residents' feet should be assessed daily by all nursing staff to ensure there is no break in their skin
due to many diabetic residents not being able to feel their feet when they bump it. She said if she was
unable to catch a wound then she relied on the charge nurses to assess, catch, and inform her of any new
skin changes or wounds. The Wound Care Nurse said all skin issues should be addressed and
documented. The Wound Care Nurse said if a resident had a skin tear or abrasion to the foot, she would
notify the resident, doctor, family representative, DON, and charge nurse. She said she would complete a
risk management, SBAR, skin wound note, incident and accident report, progress note, and treatment
orders. She said she had already done Resident #2's skin head-to-toe assessment for 12/9/2025. She
stated her findings were clear, no new skin issues, nothing was on her toes. The wound care nurse said she
did not turn on the light while she did Resident #2's skin head-to- toe assessment on 12/9/2025. She said
she should have had the light on when she did Resident #2's skin head-to- toe assessment to ensure she
was closely, accurately, and thoroughly assessed. She said she did not know how long Resident #2 had the
3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe- 0.50 cm 3rd toe- 1.20 cm x 1.00 cm, x 0.50 cm, left 4th toe- 1.30 cm x
0.40 cm for. She said she was never informed by any nursing staff nor seen any progress notes regarding
the skin issues on Resident #2's toes. The wound care nurse said there was no risk management, SBAR,
skin wound note, incident and accident report, progress note, and treatment orders done on Resident #2
regarding her 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe, 3rd toe, 4th toe. She said Resident #2 not receiving
treatment for her toes could lead to infection or ulcers.During an interview with the DON on 12/9/2025 at
12:08 p.m., she said the Wound Care Nurse was responsible for weekly head-to-toe skin assessments. She
said the wound care nurse was responsible for documenting what was found during assessments. She said
Resident #2 had 3 skin abrasions to her left foot, not 3 skin tears. She said she was not made aware that
Resident #2 had any abrasions or skin tears to her toes on her left foot. She said her expectation was for
skin assessments to be completed accurately, effectively, and meet the needs of residents. She said staff
had been trained and in-serviced on the importance and need for daily skin assessments to be done. The
DON said the associated risk to Resident #2 could be infection, diabetic ulcers, and not receiving needed
treatment. During an interview with the Administrator on 12/9/2025 at 12:18 p.m., she said her expectations
were for nursing staff as a team to look at Resident #2's skin and ensure she received treatment that's
needed. She said

Resident #2 should have had orders that addressed the care needed for her 3 toes on her left foot. She
said not identifying skin issues on Resident #2 accurately could potentially cause residents to not receive
needed care or services. During an interview with CNA E on 12/9/2025 at 3:42 p.m., she said she was
responsible for showering Resident #2 on the evening shift. She said she had showered and washed
Resident #2's toes on 12/6/2025 and had not noticed any abrasions or skin tears on her toes.Record review
of facility policy titled Patient Care Management System 1 dated July 2022 indicated: In part- Skin: 2. The
Treatment Nurse or Nurse Manager designee will complete a head-to-toe assessment and document in the
EMR to validate the findings of the initial skin assessment. Head-to-toe assessments must be completed
weekly and prior to discharge/transfer of a Patient.3. A Braden Scale will be completed the day of
admission (including readmission), once weekly for a minimum of four weeks, and quarterly thereafter. A
Braden Scale will also be completed upon each significant change in a Patient's condition. The Braden
Scale will be used in conjunction with clinical judgement and review of other risk factors. The total score is
not relied upon alone in determining a Patient's pressure ulcer risk.4. Any newly identified wounds will be
addressed by the Treatment Nurse or Charge Nurse to include assessment and documentation of the skin
site and initiate appropriate clinical interventions. Notify Patient's Representative and Medical Provider of
any new or change in existing wound(s) and document in EMR.5. A Wound Assessment will be completed
by the Treatment Nurse or Charge Nurse and a narrative of each site will be documented weekly for any
pressure injury and non-pressure skin condition, including but not limited to Arterial Ulcers, Diabetic
Neuropathy Ulcers, Venous Insufficiency Ulcers, Bruises, Skin Tears, and Surgical Wounds. Wound
measurements will be in centimeters.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as
free of accident hazards as was possible and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance
devices to prevent accidents for 2 of 6 residents (Resident #33, Resident #6) reviewed for accidents and
supervision. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #33 did not have a blue razor. (Resident #33 pulled out
of her backpack and handed it to CNA A to shave her face with.2.The facility failed to ensure Resident #6
did not have an uncapped blue razor on top of his bedside dresser. These failures could place residents at
an increased risk for injuries.Findings included: Record review of Resident #33's face sheet dated
12/08/2025 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to the facility 09/22/2021 with
diagnoses of hemiplegia (stroke) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) affecting right
dominant side, candidiasis (fungi growth), and aphasia (inability to understand or produce speech.) Record
review of Resident #33's Quarterly MDS assessment revision dated 11/6/2025 indicated she had a BIMs of
7 which indicated her cognition was severely impaired. In section B- hearing, speech, and vision indicated
she was understood and understood others was understood. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #33
required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting, personal hygiene, showering/bathing, lower body
dressing and partial/moderate assistance with upper body dressing.Record review of Resident #33's care
plan 11/6/2025 dated did not address items she could not keep in her room.During an observation on
12/8/2025 at 9:43 a.m., Resident #33 asked CNA A to shave her face to remove chin and mustache hairs.
CNA A asked Resident #33 if she had a razor in her dresser to use. Resident #33 said there should be one
in there. CNA A opened Resident #33's bedside dresser and began looking for a razor. CNA A said to
Resident #33 that she didn't find one in her dresser and would have to get one. Resident #33 told CNA A I
have one here. Resident #33 unzipped her backpack and retrieved a clear packaged blue razor then
handed it to CNA A. CNA A asked Resident #33 where she got the razor from, Resident #33 said I don't
know. CNA A told Resident #33 that she didn't know she had a razor and that she should not have had
one.During an interview with CNA A on 12/8/2025 at 10:15 a.m., CNA A said she had seen razors in
Resident #33's bedside dresser in the past but could not recall when, nor how many times. She said
Resident #33 should not have had the blue razor. She said she discarded it after using it in the sharps
container. CNA A said the failure could have placed residents at risk for injury to all residents in the unit.
During an interview with LVN C on 12/8/2025 at 11:20 a.m., LVN C said Resident #33 should not have a
razor. She said she was not aware Resident #33 had a razor. She said the failure placed a risk for any of
the residents harming themselves. LVN C said all staff were responsible for ensuring the items were not in
the residents' rooms. During an interview with the DON on 12/8/2025 at 1:40 p.m., the DON said Resident
#33 did not have razors care planned. She said the facility did not have a policy that addressed residents
having razors or what a resident is not allowed and allowed to bring from home. She said a resident with a
lower BIMS score should not have had a razor in their possession. She said all staff were responsible for
ensuring razors were secured by staff. She said the failure could have placed residents at a risk for using
the items inappropriately.During an interview with the Regional Director of Clinical Services on 12/8/2025 at
1:50 p.m., she said I have the same answer as the DON regarding the razor.During an interview with the
Administrator on 12/8/2025 at 2:00 p.m., the Administrator said Resident #33 should not have had the
razor. She said staff are the only ones with access to razors. The Administrator said all staff were

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 2 halls. 1. The facility
failed to ensure CNA A did not handle soiled linen without gloves. 2. The facility failed to ensure CNA A
used hand hygiene after she disposed of soiled linens. 3. The facility failed to ensure CNA A used hand
hygiene between glove changes. 4. The facility failed to ensure feces were not on the floor. 5. The facility
failed to ensure CNA B performed proper hand hygiene while entering and exiting residents' room on hall
200 while providing ice and water for hydration services. 6. The facility failed to ensure CNA B did not touch
hydration cart ice scoop to the inside of resident's cup while providing ice and water for hydration services.
7. The facility failed to ensure CNA B discarded Resident #2's used straw that contained pink and dark
brown colored debris. 8. The facility failed to ensure CNA B did not bring residents used cup into the soiled
utility room and brought it back to residents while providing ice and water for hydration services. These
failures could place residents at risk of the spread of infection. Findings include: During an observation of
hall 200 on 12/08/2025 at 9:00 a.m., CNA A disposed of soiled linens without gloves on. She did not use
hand hygiene after soiled linens were disposed of. CNA A put on gloves to adjust Resident #33's brief and
clothing. She removed her gloves and put on new ones without using hand hygiene between glove change.
During an observation on 12/09/2025 at 11:00 a.m., there was approximately a dime sized light brown
feces located on the floor of room [ROOM NUMBER]. During an observation on 12/10/2025 at 10:28 a.m.,
CNA B did not wash or sanitize his hands prior to entering/exiting rooms or handling the hydration cart ice
scoop, new cups, lids, straws, old used cups and residents personal used insulated cups for the rooms on
Hall 200. CNA B entered room [ROOM NUMBER], walked to both residents' bedside tables and touched
them with ungloved hands while picking up both residents' insulted drinking cups and brought them to the
rolling ice cart. CNA B touched the hydration cart ice scoop to residents' used insulated cups while filling
them with ice. She went into Resident #2's room (who was on enhanced barrier precautions), came out with
a bag of trash in her left hand and resident's used insulated cup in her right hand. CNA B had Resident #2's
used insulated cup inside the soiled utility room while she disposed of trash. Resident #2's straw had pink
and dark brown debris inside it. She took Resident #2's cup out of the soiled utility room, walked to the
rolling ice chest, grabbed the ice scoop and touched the hydration cart ice scoop to her cup while she was
putting ice in it. CNA B brought Resident #2's same used cup to her. The surveyor intervened before
Resident #2 drank out of the cup. A new cup of ice water was given to Resident #2. During an interview on
12/08/2025 at 10:00 a.m. with CNA A, she said she should have had gloves on when she disposed of
soiled linens that were used during a bed bath. CNA A said she should have used hand hygiene before
putting on gloves and after taking them off. She said these failures could lead to a spread of infection to
residents. She said she has been checked off on handwashing and had received infection control training
when she was hired and annually. During an interview on 12/09/2025 at 12:22 p.m. with CNA B, she said
she should have washed or sanitized her hands before entering and after exiting residents' room on hall
200 while providing ice and water. She said she was responsible for providing Hall 200 hydration services
and was supposed to perform hand hygiene before and after entering residents' rooms. She said she
should not have touched the hydration cart ice scoop to the inside of the resident's cup while providing ice
and water. CNA B said she did not know why she did not perform hand hygiene. She said she should not

Protect yourself and your patients from deadly germs by cleaning your hands. All healthcare personnel
should understand how to care for and clean their hands. Why it matters. Hand hygiene protects both
healthcare personnel and patients. Hand hygiene means cleaning your hands with: Handwashing with
water and soap (e.g., plain soap or with an antiseptic); antiseptic hand rub (alcohol-based foam or gel hand
sanitizer); and surgical hand antisepsis. Cleaning your hands reduces: the potential spread of deadly germs
to patients; the spread of germs, including those resistant to antibiotics; and the risk of healthcare
personnel colonization or infection caused by germs received from the patient.
