Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the location of the state agency phone
number was reviewed with the residents and ensure information was discussed on how to file a complaint
with the state agency with seven residents reviewed for resident council.
The facility failed to ensure the residents was aware the location in the facility of the phone number for the
complaint hotline with the state agency.
This failure could prevent residents from calling state agency to voice concerns about their care.
Findings included:
Observation on 03/25/2023 at 11:45 AM there were medication carts in front of the postings for staff and
residents in the display case. The medication carts blocked the postings in the display case except for one
posting located at the very top in large print.
In an interview on 03/27/2023 at 9:30AM during a confidential resident group meeting held in the dining
room with seven residents revealed the residents were all in agreement they did not know the location of
the state agency toll free phone number and did not know they could voice concern with the state agency.
Three of the residents stated when they were admitted to the facility it was very hard for them to accept,
they were in a nursing home. All the residents stated they were nervous when they were admitted to the
facility. All the residents in attendance agreed it was difficult to remember everything the staff explained to
them when they were first admitted to the facility and a few weeks after they were admitted . All agreed no
one had discussed in resident council on the location of the toll-free phone number and they had a choice
to contact state agency if they had a concern.
Observation on 03/27/2023 at 1:55 PM medication carts parked in front of the display case. The medication
carts were blocking the postings in the display case except for two at the top. One of the two postings was
difficult to read due to being small print and could not get near the display case to read it. The other
postings in middle and at the bottom of the display case was blocked by the medication carts.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 11:35 AM the ADON stated the medication carts are always parked in
front of the display cases when the nurses were not using them to administer medications.
In an interview and observation on 03/28/2023 at 1:05 PM the Administrator was standing in front of the
display cases, and she stated the information to call state agency to voice concern was listed as the
following: DADS can provide information about the nursing facility administrator at and gave the phone
number. She stated later in the conversation this was not the phone number for the residents to use to call
the state agency to voice concern. She stated she can get a poster or type the information of the agency
and phone number to call to voice a concern with the state and would place it in the display case.

In an interview/observation on 03/28/2023 at 2:50 PM the Administrator stated the state agency number
was in the display case and she looked at the pictures taken of the display case and showed the Agency
and number. The number and the agency name were on a letter size paper. In small print on one letter size
paper was the following information: Medicare information, Medicaid information, Office of the Inspector
General information and on bottom of the letter size paper stated Texas Department of Aging and Disability
Services. Where to submit a complaint about the quality of life or quality of care inside a nursing home. Toll
free: (800) [PHONE NUMBER], Local (512) [PHONE NUMBER]. www.dads.state.tx.us. The print was small
approximately eight or ten point typing and was difficult to view this information. She also stated it would be
difficult for the residents in wheelchairs or ambulatory residents to view the postings in the display case if
the medication carts were in front of the display case. She stated the print on the paper was small and may
be difficult for the residents to see the information. She stated the residents may not understand the
wording on the posting such as: submit a complaint about quality of life or quality of care inside a nursing
home. She stated it was possible it could be misleading to the residents. The information for the residents to
call and voice concerns to the state agency was so small the administrator did not see the information

In a confidential group interview on 03/27/2023 at 9:30 AM through 10:00 AM, seven residents stated they
did not know where or how to access survey results in the facility. Several of the residents stated they would
like to have access to this information, because the staff did not tell them anything about visits from the
state. Two of the residents stated they did not know the state sent a report to the facility of any type of visits.
The other four residents agreed. They all stated it would be great if they knew the results of the surveys. All
the residents stated if they were informed at the time of admission they did not recall. All the residents
stated when they were admitted to the facility it was difficult on them and they could not remember what
was discussed at the that time. Residents they were too nervous when admitted to the facility and it was
difficult to remember anything discussed with them first few weeks of their admission.

Resident #65 asked for seconds they would request more from the kitchen. She stated she was not familiar
with Resident #62 and Resident #88 and could not say why they experience weight loss.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 11:20 AM, ADON stated Resident #65 always ate all of his food and did
not complain about the pureed texture. He stated he was not sure what would have caused him to lose
weight. He stated Resident #65 ate in the dining room and they monitored his intake closely. He said
Resident #65 would often request seconds with meals and they would ask for seconds from the kitchen. He
stated he was unaware of anyone making a change so that Resident #65 received double portions. He
stated Resident #62 experienced weight loss because he had COVID in December 2022 and experienced
a decline. He could not say what caused the weight loss in Resident #62 in November 2022, before
Resident #62 had COVID. He said Resident #88 was previously fed by tube feeding only until he advance a
couple of months ago to a pureed diet. He stated Resident #88 ate well and had no problems tolerating the
pureed food. He stated he was unaware of Resident #88 routinely asking for seconds and wanting more
food.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 1:22 PM, the RD stated when a resident was downgraded to pureed food
they did not have any procedure or protocol to monitor weights to ensure the change did not cause weight
loss. The RD stated Resident #62 lost weight and suffered decline related to COVID in December 2022.
She could not explain the weight loss for Resident #62 in November 2022 when experienced the most
weight loss. She stated in December 2022 they downgraded his diet to pureed due to not chewing and
swallowing his food. The RD stated Resident #65's weight loss may be due to fluid shifts though Resident
#65 was not known for fluid shifts. She stated she was unaware of Resident #65 wanting double portions or
seconds with meals. She stated the weight loss could be due to method and measurement errors when
weighing Resident #65. She stated Resident #88 was on a TF and then upgraded to pureed diet in
February 2024. She could not explain the big weight change in from December 2022 to February 2023 as
there were no indications Resident #88 was not tolerating his TF. She stated the amount he received via TF
was enough to meet estimated daily needs. She stated she was unaware that Resident #88 was eating
100% of pureed food and wanted seconds for most meals. She stated double portions could be ordered for
both Resident #65 and Resident #62.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 1:50 PM, with the DON stated she was new to the facility and had only
been there about to weeks. She stated she was not familiar with Resident #62, Resident #65 and Resident
#88. She stated it would have been her expectation that when residents experienced a significant or severe
change in their weight that a progress note with a root cause analysis would be completed with RD and MD
notification. She stated in looking at the EMR she could not say what cause the weight loss in all three
residents. She stated there were issues with weight measurements and consistent methods and they
implemented weekly weights to establish accurate baselines for residents.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 2:55 PM, the ADMIN stated there were issues with weighing methods and
measurements and the weight loss for Resident #62, Resident #65 and Resident #88 were not accurate.
She stated she was unaware of other reasons for why they lost weight.
Review of Weight Management System (undated) revealed residents with a significant weight loss or gain
(5%, 7.5% or 10% or more) will be placed on weekly weights x 4 weeks or until weight is stable . If weight
concerns are noted/weights are not stable , implement interim nutrition interventions, notify RDN/NTR via
referral form and continue weekly weight until stable .All weight changes are considered unplanned unless
the MD has documented a plan for desired weight change and the facility has care planned PRIOR to the
weight change occurring.

use a regular cup to drink as it was difficult for her to control.
In an interview on 03/28/2028 at 11:10 AM, LVN D stated they check trays prior to tray service to ensure
residents have the correct diet order and the necessary assistive devices for meals. She stated she was not
sure why Resident #7 did not have her independent mug on her tray. She said Resident #7 not having her
independent mug could result in less fluid intake by Resident #7 and dehydration. She stated dietary staff
were responsible for ensuring the independent mug was on the tray and the charge nurse should check for
it prior to tray service.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 1:22 PM, the RD stated residents should be provided with all physician
ordered assistive devices with all meals. She stated Resident #7 had the independent mug ordered by
therapy to promote independence and increased fluid intake. She said dietary staff were responsible for the

mug on 03/27/2023.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 2:53 PM, the DM stated Resident #7 should have had the independent
mug on her tray on 03/26/2028. She stated the resident was at risk for decreased fluid intake and
dehydration if not provided the correct assistive devices. She stated the kitchen did not always have the
independent mugs because the independent mugs were sent to the hallways on trays and did not return to
the kitchen. She stated the lids to the independent mugs would go missing too. She stated she and the
ADMIN would need to order more to ensure a sufficient supply for residents.
In an interview on 03/28/2023 at 3:05 PM, the ADMIN stated it was her expectation that residents receive
their physician ordered assistive devices with all meals. She stated Resident #7 should have had her
independent mug at all meals to allow for sufficient fluid intake and independence. This put Resident #7 at
risk for decreased fluid intake and dehydration.
