The facility failed to ensure Resident #20's comprehensive care plan was revised to reflect the need for and the use of a fall mat. This failure could place the residents at risk of not receiving the appropriate care and services to maintain their highest practical well-being. Finding include: Record review of Resident #20's Face Sheet revealed an eighty-two (82) year old female who was, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included essential (primary) hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified conditions (a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), unspecified dementia (a decline in cognitive function), Alzheimer's Disease (a disease which commonly causes dementia), and muscle weakness. The resident's advance directive was full code/CPR. Record review of Resident #20's admission MDS Comprehensive Assessment revealed the assessment was completed on [DATE]. According to the assessment, Resident #20's BIMS was one, which indicated severely impaired cognition. Resident #20 had impaired vision, functional limitation in her range of motion with impairment in one side of her lower extremity, with no mobility devices used. Resident #20's functional abilities, which included sit to stand, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, walking ten (10) feet, walking 50 feet with 2 turns, and walking 150 feet was dependent on a helper or helpers to complete these activities.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review on of the facility's MDS Resident Matrix (a tool used to identify pertinent care categories for residents) completed by the ADM revealed that Resident #20 had no specific care areas marked, including fall, fall with injury, or fall with major injury. Observation of Resident #20 on [DATE]. 2025, at 10:49AM revealed the resident in bed, resting with her eyes open. The resident was slightly alert but did not verbally respond to questions asked of her. Resident #20 was observed to be in a single occupancy room, with her bed positioned against the wall on its left side. On the floor to the right of Resident #20's bed was a fall mat. (Fall mats are specially designed floor mats used to protect from serious physical trauma resulting from falls.) Observation of a photograph on the cell phone of Resident #20's RR on [DATE], at approximately 10:55AM, showed how Resident #20's RR found Resident #20 on [DATE]. The photograph depicted the resident in the condition as described below, torso laying across the bed, legs dangling off the side. In an interview on [DATE], at 10:49AM, Resident #20's RR stated that the resident was admitted to the facility after hip replacement surgery on [DATE]. Resident #20's RR stated on [DATE], at 8:00 AM, he arrived to the facility and found the resident lying sideways in her bed, her torso on the bed, and both legs dangling off of the side of the bed, as if she had been attempting to get out of bed and slid. The RR alerted staff and they assisted the resident back in bed properly. On or about [DATE], staff placed a thick fall mat next to the resident's bed as a safety measure. Resident #20's RR stated initially staff placed a very thick fall mat next to the resident's bed, but later replaced the thick mat with a thinner mat due to the thicker mat being seen as a hazard concerns. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:47 PM, the DON stated the MDS was responsible for completing the initial care plans and also for revising the care plans as needed. She stated she also updated care plans at times herself. She stated the MDS was trained on completing the care plans accurately. She stated it was her expectation that fall mats would be included in a resident's care plan. She stated she was not aware Resident #20 had fall mats or that the fall mats were not care planned. She stated she was going to find out about the fall mats and if Resident #20 was supposed to have them. She stated if fall mats were not included in a resident's care plan, it could lead to a resident falling and hurting themselves. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:56 PM, the MDS stated she was responsible for completing and updating the residents' care plans. She stated that she has beenwas trained on completing the care plans accurately. She stated she was aware Resident #20 had fall mats because she helped place the fall mats in Resident #20's room. She stated the fall mats were placed due to the family request and she did not realize that she had not care planned them until informed by the State Survey team. The MDS stated she was going to care plan the fall mats now that she had been informed this information was missing. The MDS stated she would normally care plan fall mats as an intervention when fall mats were placed. She stated if fall mats were not care planned, the staff may not be aware a resident needed fall mats, which could cause the mats not to be used to aide in a fall or injury or it could have caused a safety hazard and staff could have tripped over the fall mats if they had not known they were there. Record review of the facility's policy, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised [DATE], reflected in part, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident .Assessments of residents is ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents' conditions change.

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, taking into consideration resident assessments, individual plans of care and the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment for five (5) staff reviewed for qualified dietary staff. The facility failed to ensure that dietary DS B, DS D, DS E, DS G, and DS H obtained and/or maintained their Texas Food Handler Certificates. This failure practice could place residents who ate from the facility's only kitchen at risk of foodborne illness and not having their nutritional needs met and at risk of contracting foodborne illnesses.

Texas Food Handler certificate for DS H issued on 1/13/2025. Staff schedules for the last 90 days which show that DS G worked 70 shifts between 10/1/12024-1/12/2025 without a confirmed or verified valid food handler certificate. In an interview with the DDM on January 15, 2025, that began at approximately 3:45 PM, attempts were made to clarify staff, their roles and titles, and documents and records provided by the DDM for the dietary staff. The DDM explained that the this facility contracted with his employer for dietary and maintenance services. The DDM stated his title was District Manager in training. The DDM stated his manager was the RDM. The RDM was the Regional Manager in training. The current Dietary Manager in training was the DM, who would also be the facility's account manager. Per the DDM, all responsibility for the kitchen and dietary staff was the responsibility of the DDM until the DM was fully trained. The DDM was unfamiliar with all the staff members listed on the schedule and did not provide a complete roster of dietary personnel. The DDM provided conflicting information when answering questions regarding personnel and their qualifications. The DDM stated that the former DM had his own system of scheduling and keeping up with personnel records that the DDM was not entirely familiar with and could not fully explain. The DDM could not provide food handler certificates for staff as requested. The DDM stated initially that he was unsure as to why groups of dietary staff had the same recertification dates. The DDM then said that the dietary staff recertified on the same dates, but on separate computers within the office. The DDM denied the certificates were obtained fraudulently. The DDM admitted he did not have all the past and current food handler certificates as requested. The DDM stated he could not locate records maintained by the prior DM. The DDM stated he has been overseeing the facility's dietary services for the last couple of months since the former DM of 5-6 years resigned. The DDM stated the former DM handled all management duties, but he was now discovering a lapse in that management. The DDM stated all dietary staff confirmed to the DDM their Food Handler Certificates were current, and he accepted their confirmation as factual. In an interview with the DON and ADON collectively on January 15, 2025, at 4:56 PM, both stated that it was their expectation that the company who oversaw dietary and maintenance services would ensure their staff were properly trained and certified. Each stated a possible result of dietary staff in particular not being properly certified was that residents could become ill or this could cause food to become contaminated if staff were unaware of proper food handling techniques. In an interview with the ADM on January 15, 2025, at approximately 5:00 PM, the ADM stated it was his expectation the company they contracted with for dietary services maintained the highest level of service and knowledge, which included current certifications and training. The ADM stated a lack of such could lead to residents become ill. Record review of job descriptions for Cook and Dietary Aide show one qualification for both positions to be, Current ServSafe or Food Handler certification is required .
