and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure two residents (Resident #59 and
Resident #60) of five residents reviewed for abuse and neglect were free from abuse.The facility failed to
address inappropriate sexual behavior between Resident #59 and Resident #60. Resident #59 had a
diagnosis which included Dementia and Resident #60 had a diagnosis which included Alzheimers.The
facility failed to immediately implement the Psychology NP's recommendation to move Resident #60 off of
the unit. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 6/14/2025. The IJ template was provided to the
facility on 6/14/2025 at 3:35 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 6/17/2025, the facility remained out of
compliance at a scope of pattern with the severity level at a potential for more than minimal harm that is not
immediate jeopardy, because all staff had not been trained. This failure placed residents at risk of
abuse/neglect. Findings included:Record review of the admission Record for Resident #59 revealed she did
not have a person other than herself listed as Responsible Party (RP). Diagnoses included dementia (a
group of symptoms that affect thinking, memory, and social abilities), schizoaffective disorder (a mix of
hallucinations, delusions, and mood disorder), and generalized anxiety disorder. Her admission rate was
11/17/2023. She was [AGE] years old.Record review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated

indicative of moderately impaired cognition. The MDS reflected Resident #59 exhibited delusions and
wandering. Record review of the admission Record for Resident #60 revealed he was [AGE] years old and
was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (progressive disease
characterized by memory loss), dementia (a group of symptoms that affect thinking, memory, and social
abilities), and unspecified psychosis (a mental state marked by loss of contact with reality). The admission
Record reflected he was his own RP.Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment for Resident #60
dated 05/07/25 revealed he scored 10 of 15 on the BIMS, indicative of moderate cognitive impairment.
Record review of a Nurse's Note (NN) in Resident #59's electronic record, dated 03/25/25 at 12:15 p.m.,
reflected Resident #59 and Resident #60 were in Resident #59's room. They were both unclothed and in
her bed. The NN reflected Resident #59 believed Resident #60 was her husband. Record review of a Social
Services Note for Resident #60, dated 03/25/25 at 1:00 p.m., reflected the Social Worker and a clinical
specialist from another service observed Resident #60 in Resident #59's room. The residents were
engaged in sexual activity. Resident #60 was redirected. Record review of a Behavior Note for Resident
#59, dated 03/29/25 at 9:40 p.m., reflected Resident #59 attempted to go to the men's side of the secured
unit. She became combative with staff. She was redirected but attempted to return after ten minutes. She
again said Resident #60 was her husband. Record review of an Orders-Administration Note for Resident
#59, dated 04/05/25 at 6:34 p.m., reflected Resident #59 had her hand down a male resident's shirt. The
nurse asked Resident #59 several times to stop. The male resident told the nurse 'You can't tell us what to
do' and stuck his middle finger at the nurse. Resident #59 then stuck her middle finger up at the nurse. Both
residents became aggressive with staff.In an interview on 05/28/25 at 3:15 p.m., the DON said Resident
#59 and Resident #60 sat together in activities but were not allowed to go to each other's rooms. She said

able to make consensual decisions. In an interview on 05/28/25 at 4:09 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said on
03/25/25 Resident #59 was found in bed with Resident #60. She confirmed there was no Care Plan to
address sexual activity. She said the Care Plans should have been updated. She said the interventions

Residents Affected - Some
11:52 AM, who said on 05/25/25 during lunch, Resident #31 took the plastic wrapping off the applesauce
and swallowed it. She denied knowledge of the resident putting other inedible items in her mouth. She said
she assisted the resident with eating lunch but could not get to her quickly enough before she swallowed
the plastic. She said the resident never appeared to be in distress, did not have difficulty breathing, and did
not choke after swallowing the plastic wrap. She said the resident continued to eat her meal after
swallowing the plastic wrap. She said the resident was supposed to be closely monitored during meals. She
said the resident was not on 1:1 supervision. She said she notified the nurse immediately after the incident,
and the nurse performed a head-to-toe assessment on the resident. Review of Resident #31's care plan,
updated 05/01/25, indicated the resident had a history of putting inedible things in her mouth, and was
noted to have eaten paint off walls, Styrofoam cups, etc. The resident's goal was not to have adverse
effects related to putting inedible things in her mouth. Interventions included observing the resident closely
for presence of foreign matter in mouth. Providing limited assistance of one staff member with dining.
Remove any foreign matter from mouth. Observe for presence during crafts or activities where she could
pick up items and put them in her mouth. Further review of Resident #31's care plan revealed
documentation of past incidents of the putting inedible things in her mouth or ingesting inedible items and
the incident on 05/25/25 was not addressed in the care plan.Interview with DON on 05/29/25 at 12:28 PM,
who said the facility updated Resident #31's care plan on 05/28/25 to include 1:1 supervision/care at all
times. She said she also emailed the dietitian to discuss interventions. She said the facility obtained a
referral for an inpatient psychiatric evaluation for the resident. She said the facility also held an ad hoc QAPI
meeting with the NP to provide additional interventions for the resident. She said the resident was at risk of
an incident similar to ingesting plastic wrap reoccur.In an interview on 05/29/25 at 2:21 p.m. the
Administrator said the facility tailored the resident's care plan to meet her needs.In an interview on 05/29/25
at 4:21 p.m. the MDS Coordinator said care plans were updated daily, or sometimes multiple times a day, to
provide an accurate reflection of the care or services a resident required. She said the risk of not updating a
care plan was resident's care needs not being met by facility staff. In an interview on 05/29/25 at 4:26 p.m.
the DON said the MDS was supposed to update resident care plans as needed. She said a care plan
should reflect goals and interventions based on a resident's specific needs to outline care to be provided to
residents by facility staff. She said the risk of not updating the care plan to meet a resident's specific needs
was failure to provide appropriate care to the resident. In an interview on 05/29/25 at 4:33 p.m., the
Administrator said the MDS nurse was responsible developing care plans. He said the IDT team was also
involved in developing comprehensive care plans. He said the risk associated with a resident not having an
individualized care plan was facility staff may not have been meeting the resident's needs or may not have
been aware of the resident's needs.Resident #59Record review of the admission Record (dated 05/28/25)

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 each resident's environment remained
free of accident hazards for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #31) reviewed for accident hazards.The facility failed
to adequately supervise Resident #31 when she ingested plastic wrap from a container while being
monitored by CMA H during dining.An IJ was identified on 07/03/35 at 1:22 PM. The IJ template was
provided to the facility on [DATE] at 1:22 PM. While the IJ was removed on 07/04/25, the facility remained
out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than
minimal harm because all staff had not been trained on accidents and supervision.This failure could place
residents at risk for injury, harm, and impairment. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face
sheet revealed, the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a history of
Dementia (group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking or language) anxiety (intense, excessive, and
persistent worry and fear about everyday situations), altered mental status, and intellectual disabilities
(condition that involves limitation on intelligence). Record review of Resident #31's Quarterly MDS
Assessment, dated 05/07/25, indicated the resident's cognitive skills for daily decision making was severely
impaired and required supervision when eating. Record review of Resident #31's care plan, updated
05/01/25, indicated the resident had a history of putting inedible things in her mouth, and was noted to have
eaten paint off walls, Styrofoam cups, etc. The resident's goal was not to have adverse effects related to
putting inedible things in her mouth. Interventions included observing the resident closely for presence of
foreign matter in mouth. Providing limited assistance of one staff member with dining. Remove any foreign
matter from mouth. Observe for presence during crafts or activities where she could pick up items and put
them in her mouth. On 05/28/25 the care plan indicated Resident #31 was placed on 1:1 observation
pending inpatient psych eval. The resident's goal was to not consume any plastic wrap through next review.
Interventions included monitoring resident at meal times, staff to setup tray with each meal, and removing
plastic wrap before meals were served. Record review of progress note entered by RN C and dated
05/25/25 at 5:57 PM, indicated the Resident ingested plastic wrap from desert cup. Resident @ baseline;
no signs of distress, breathing even and unlabored. Behavior @ baseline; BP:132/88 HR 55 RR 18 O2: 97
T: 97.3. NP B notified; no n/o. Will continue to monitor.Record review of progress notes entered by the DON
indicated the following: 05/28/25 at 5:43 PM, indicated the resident had an IDT review due to swallowing
plastic wrap. Recommendations were to continue to monitor for adverse effects, KUB (Kidney, Ureter and
Bladder imaging), dietary evaluation, and in-service on meal setup. IDT members were Administrator, DON,
ADON, Unit Manager, MDS nurse and Social Worker.Further review of progress notes on 5/28/25 at 6:14
PM, indicated the resident's NP ordered follow up chest x-rays to rule out aspiration. Further review
revealed the resident was sent for imaging.Further review of progress notes on 5/29/25 at 1:47 PM,
indicated the resident's MD was notified of negative x-ray results. MD did not give new orders.During a
telephone interview on 05/29/25 at 11:52 AM, CMA H said on 05/25/25 during lunch, Resident #31 took the
plastic wrapping off the applesauce and swallowed it. She denied knowledge of the resident putting other

incident, and the nurse performed a head-to-toe assessment on the resident. During an interview on
05/28/25 at 12:28 PM, RN C said on 05/25/25 a CNA informed her that Resident #31 ingested the plastic
wrap from her dinner cup after the incident had occurred. RN C said she notified the NP and performed a
head-to-toe assessment on the resident, who had normal vital signs and no changes in baseline. She said
the NP did not give any new orders at that time. She said the facility continued to monitor the resident for
adverse effects. She said the risk associated with the resident swallowing wrap was aspiration, choking,
and/or bowel obstruction. During a telephone interview on 05/28/25 at 12:49 PM, NP B said the nurse had
contacted him regarding the resident swallowing plastic wrap. He informed the staff to monitor the resident
because her vital signs were stable and displayed no signs or symptoms of distress. He said Resident #31
was not having any issues, so no new orders were given. He said there was only risk to the resident if the
resident could not pass the plastic wrap through a bowel movement. He said the risk associated with not
passing the plastic wrap through a bowel movement was a small bowel obstruction. He said plastic wrap
should not have been left out on the secure unit for a resident to ingest because it could have also been a
choking hazard. He said the staff should monitor the resident's bowels to make sure she was passing stool,
and document s/s of abdominal pain and distention. During an interview on 05/29/25, at 9:01 AM, the DON
said during the lunch meal on 05/25/25, the resident took the plastic wrap off applesauce, and swallowed
the plastic wrap before the staff could retrieve the plastic wrap. She said on 05/28/25, facility staff were
in-serviced on the proper procedure for meal setup for safety before residents consume meals. She said
staff were to take all items off the tray, set up the meal completely, open all containers and remove plastic
from dishes. And place all plastics in the trash. The DON said she also spoke to the dietary manager, and
to ensure different coverings were used for serving meals in the memory care unit. Interview on 05/29/25 at
10:15 AM, NP R said Resident #31 was non-verbal. He also said it was not unusual for the resident to have
behaviors such as putting things in her mouth. He said the resident may have had [NAME] (compulsive
eating of material that may or may not be food stuff). He said he would order labs for the resident. He said
the resident needed increased supervision. He said he evaluated the resident since she ingested plastic
wrap and would start with a non-pharmacological approach. He said the risk of a resident putting inedible
items in their mouth could lead to choking or poisoning. Interview on 05/29/25 at 12:39 PM, Dr. N said he
was aware of the incident involving Resident #31 and that it was not uncommon for a resident with
dementia to ingest inedible items. He said all inedible items should be removed from the area of the
resident to decrease the risk of placing the items in her mouth. He said the plastic was small and digestible.
He said the resident had not shown any signs or symptoms of bowel obstruction. He said the resident also
had not experienced signs and symptoms of stomach pain, nausea or vomiting. He said the small piece of
plastic wrap had probably passed through her stool. He said a chest x-ray and KUB imaging were
performed with negative results. He said he did not give any new orders. During an Interview on 05/29/25 at
2:21 PM, the Administrator said he learned of Resident #31 ingesting plastic but had no adverse reaction
on 05/27/25. He said the facility followed physician's orders to monitor the resident closely and tailored the
resident's care plan to meet her needs. During an interview on 06/15/25 at 11:43 AM, the Dietary Manager
said Lids were only for desserts. He said cups were sent empty and filled from pitchers while on the unit. He
said the residents did not have access to the plastic wrap. The staff were using plastic wrap on the hall trays
(not secured unit), but the plastic wrap was removed by the staff before entering the room and was not left
with the residents. Lunch observation on the secured unit on 06/15/25 at 11:45AM, all drinks had solid
plastic covers. No plastic wraps were observed. Resident #31 was eating in

placed in the refrigerator, that had been opened or cooked, to be labeled with the date the item was placed
in the refrigerator. He said open food or beverages placed in the dry storage area also needed to be labeled
with the date the item was opened. He said the cooks, tray aides, and himself were responsible for
appropriate food storage, including labeling and dating foods. He said the risk of storing unlabeled and
expired items could have led to food-borne illnesses in residents.
During an interview on 05/29/25 at 3:59 PM, Tray Aid A said he usually prepared daily desserts and drinks
served to residents. He said he also labeled and dated desserts and drinks before they were placed in the

the date the items were opened. The risk of not labeling and dating items could have led to staff to giving
expired food to residents, and the residents could have gotten sick.
