Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to immediately inform the resident, consult with
the resident's physician; and notify, consistent with his or her authority, the resident representative when
there was a significant change in condition in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status and a
need to alter treatment significantly for 2 of 8 residents (Resident #1 and Resident #24) reviewed for
notification of changes. - The facility failed to notify Resident #1's RP of physician orders on 10/01/25 for a
chest x-ray due to a newly identified cough. The RP was notified on 10/06/25. - The facility failed to notify
Resident #24's RP of physician order dated 07/23/2025 for an oncologist (doctor that specializes in cancer)
evaluation for the removal of her implanted central venous catheter (a port device under the skin that allows
long term IV access for administration of medications, chemotherapy) that was causing the resident
discomfort. RN B failed to document the order and follow up with the x-ray when RP #1 notified the facility
of needed appointment then the facility scheduled the appointment for 10/7/2025. This failure could place
residents at risk of delayed identification and treatment of undiagnosed illnesses, hospitalization, pain, and
suffering. Findings included:Resident #1 Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 10/02/25
revealed, an [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of: left side
paralysis, aphasia (inability to speak) after a stroke (interruption of blood flow to the brain that causes tissue
damage), difficulty swallowing, anxiety disorder, gastrostomy ( a tube passed through the abdomen into the
stomach used for food or medication administration), and pneumonia (infection of the lungs). Record review
of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision
making, upper and lower extremity functional limitations in range of motion, total dependence for most
ADLs and use of a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #1's undated Care Plan revealed, Focus:
responsible party requests full code status; Goal- resident's wishes will be honored on an ongoing basis;

Relaxed and regular. Rhythm regular 18 resp per min lung sounds clear throughout. Resident sitting in bed
with HOB 45 degrees. No distress noted.- On 10/06/25 at 11:45 PM, Chest X-Ray 2 views results: No
evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. Stable when compared to prior exam. Result send to NP for
review. No new orders. Responsible party at bedside and was notified. Record review of Resident #1's
Radiology Results Report dated 10/06/25 at 6:20 PM revealed, PROCEDURE: Chest Xray; INDICATION:
Pneumonia; IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute cardiopulmonary (relating to the heart and the lungs)
disease. An observation on 09/29/25 at 11:34 AM revealed Resident #1 lying in bed receiving formula via
G-tube. The resident was non-responsive to this surveyor but appeared to be in no immediate distress. His
breathing appeared unlabored, and he did not have a cough. An observation on 10/06/25 at 1:13 PM
revealed Resident #1 lying in bed receiving formula via G-tube. The resident was non-responsive to the
surveyor but appeared to be in no immediate distress. His breathing appeared unlabored, and he did not
have a cough. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 1:18 PM, RN B said when a physician gave an order for an
x-ray it must be documented in the 24- hour report. RN B said she was Resident #1's nurse, she had not
observed him with a cough, she did not know there was a pending X-ray, she didn't know any orders were
entered for Resident #1's CXR (chest x-ray). RN B said there has been no communication to her, nursing,
or the RP about the pending CXR. In an interview of 10/06/25 at 1:20 PM, the DON said when radiology
orders were entered by a provider, nursing staff must then confirm the order. She said she didn't know why
Resident #1's X-ray had not been taken yet, Resident #1's cough that required a CXR for further evaluation
was considered a change in condition so all the notifications that should be sent out. The DON said RN B
confirmed the order for Resident #1's CXR in the EMR system. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 3:42 PM, MD
A said when she assessed Resident #1 on 10/01/25 he was observed to have diminished lung sounds and
a cough. The resident had been in and out of the hospital with pneumonia and received enteral feeds via a
G-tube which put him at risk for aspiration pneumonia (pneumonia as a result of inhaling vomit) so she was
concerned about the cough. She said older individuals like Resident #1 present differently from young,
healthy people because their weak immune system can result in normal WBC (elevation indicative of
infection), no fever, and since they can't mount the same immune response, they end up with Walking
Pneumonia. MD A said in individuals like Resident #1 she would order an X-ray to rule out pneumonia. She
said normally when she entered CXR orders, it took the radiology company a day perform the imaging, and
the facility would then call her to notify her of the results. MD A said she was not aware the facility had not
completed the CXR order she entered on 10/01/25, a 5-day delay was not acceptable and the facility
shouldn't drop the ball on things like this. She would not identify any risks associated with failure to
implement radiology orders timely but said it would delay identification of an issue or fail to rule out a
suspected concern. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 6:04 PM, RP #2 said he did not receive notification from
the facility regarding Resident #1's change of condition (cough), or the ordered CXR, and he last saw
Resident #1 on 10/02/25. RP #2 said Resident #1 and was fully disabled and paralyzed on one side, and
sometimes he received notifications from the facility regarding Resident #1 but this time he had not
received notification of the cough or ordered CXR. Record review of Resident #24's Face Sheet dated
10/02/25 revealed, a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which
included: left sided paralysis after a stroke, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), depression, anxiety, stomach
bleed, repeated falls and lung cancer. An implanted port was not documented in her diagnosis. Record
review of Resident #24's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed severely impaired cognition as indicated by
a BIMS score of 3 out of 15, upper and lower body functional limitations in range of motion, maximal
assistance with most ADLs and maximum assistance with the use of a

follow up related to port removal to right chest. Record review of Resident #24's Physician Order dated
09/19/25 revealed a follow up with oncologist for port removal. Record review of Resident #24's Progress
Notes from 05/20/25 to 10/07/25 reflected the following;- there was no documentation of communication to
Resident #24's RP from admission to 09/17/25 in regard to the implanted port, its use, maintenance,
adverse reactions or removal.- On 09/19/2025 12:40 PM signed by the DON, While auditing the chart
noticed and order from 7/23/25 from MD A requesting for the resident, to follow up with Oncology for port
removal. After speaking with the nurse, it was told that the family did not want the port removed. Spoke with
NP A to discuss the order and if she still wanted to follow up. NP A said yes, because every time she
speaks to [Resident #24]she complains of pain to the port site. Called the RP and educated him on the port
and what the NP said about his mother experiencing pain related to the port. The RP son said if Resident
#24 wants the port out, then we need to take it out. Educated Resident #24 on what the son said. The RP
was not able to give me information about who the Oncologist was. Called the caregiver who was able to
give the writer the information. The caregiver said, they did not want the port removed because they thought
Resident #24 was still going to get cancer treatments. Explained to the caregiver what the [RP #2] said and
the caregiver was in agreement. The caregiver gave the writer for the follow-up appointment. Writer was
able to obtain an appointment for October 7, 2025. An observation and interview on 09/29/25 at 11:07 AM
revealed Resident #24 lying in bed in no immediate distress. She said she was all right, but her chest was
bothering her. She said it hurt to turn her arm because the tube in her (implanted port) caused her
discomfort and she wanted it removed. Resident #24 said she wanted a walker because her implanted port
hurt when she used a wheelchair. An observation and interview on 10/02/25 at 12:40 PM revealed Resident
#24 appeared well dressed, well-groomed and in no immediate distress sitting in a wheelchair in her room.
Resident #24 said her port was giving her hell, and it hurt whenever she wheeled herself in her wheelchair
and the port goes (moves) up and down. She didn't say her port hurt when she was not using her
wheelchair, but it let her know it is there. Resident #24 said Acetaminophen controlled her pain and the
facility was working with the doctor to get her port taken out. Her implanted port was observed as circular
raised area on her right chest, with loss of pigment. Her skin was intact with no redness, swelling or
drainage observed. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 10:10 AM, the DON said she did not know what
happened between the order received in July and September when she found the missed order. She said
she didn't see any action/notifications following the physician's orders and failure to follow physician orders
to assess a port with no care, could place residents at risk of infection. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 10:29

notified him of the discomfort Resident #24 experienced due to her port. He said he had no issues with the
port being removed and it was up to [Resident #24] and he provided the facility the information of her
oncologist. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 10:39 AM, Resident #24's family member said September 2025
was the first time the facility notified any of the resident's family that her physician recommended removal of
her port and that it caused her discomfort. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 11:09 AM NP A said the facility
scheduled an appointment in September with Resident #24's Oncologist to evaluate removal of the
resident's implanted port since she was no longer using it for chemotherapy. NP A said prior to September
Resident #24 had an infection on her foot so she could not undergo surgery to remove the port, but she did
not have any concerns for the port because it was an implanted device and the facility was not accessing it.
NP A said evaluation of Resident #24's port site and labs indicated no signs and symptoms of infection.
She said the facility did not have the ability to remove the port and required an Oncologist to evaluate. In an
interview of 10/06/25 at 2:47 PM, the DON said when staff received a physician's order for radiology, they
must enter it into the EMR which was integrated with the laboratory and then document it in the progress
note and in-house 24-hour report log. She said RN B failed to document the order and follow up with the
x-ray and that was why they were missed. The DON said there was no evidence of family notification of
Resident #1's cough or the order for a CXR. The DON said failure to timely complete radiology orders could
place residents at risk for worsening of condition and delay in care. She said Resident #1's cough and
subsequent order for CXR was a change of condition and all changes of condition required notification of
the doctor, notification of the family and the nursing staff to follow up on all orders and changes. The DON
said failure to notify a resident's RP of changes could leave the family unaware of a resident's change of
condition. Record review of the facility policy titled Notification of Changes with no date revealed, Policy:
The purpose of this policy is to ensure the facility promptly informs the resident, consults the resident's
physician; and notifies, consistent with his or her authority, the resident's representative when there is a
change requiring notification. Compliance Guidelines: The facility must inform the resident, consult with the
resident's physician and /or notify the resident's family member or legal representative when there is a
change requiring such notification. Circumstances requiring notification include: 3. Circumstances that
require a need to alter treatment. This may include: a. New treatment. b. Discontinuation of current
treatment due to: i. Adverse consequences. ii. Acute condition. iii. Exacerbation of a chronic condition.

circumstances like fires. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to
the Administrator and DON on [DATE] at 05:00 PM. While the immediacy was removed on [DATE], at 04:54
PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm, with a potential for more
than minimal harm that was not an immediate jeopardy, and at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need
to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These failures could place residents at risk of
potential smoke inhalation, fire-related burns, debilitating injuries and death. Findings included Observation

for possible burns. Explained that the ambulance was working on [CR #44] at this time, and they would
probably take her to the [Hospital]. The RP said she was not in town and that she would call her brother to
see if he was closer than she was. RP said she would leave where she is and head to [Hospital] to check
on her mother.- [DATE] 08:03 AM signed by LVN I, At approximately 01:00 AM the writer was on hall 600 to
check on the other resident in my care. On my way back to 400, as I was walking down the hall I observed
residents in bed sleeping including room [ROOM NUMBER]. As the writer was at the back of the hall 400,
approximately 10 minutes later the writer heard alarm sound with flashing lights. I heard a CNA calling me
and telling me the fire was in room [ROOM NUMBER]. As the writer was going to room [ROOM NUMBER],
the CNA who was in front of me, grabbed the extinguisher and entered the room before I got there. When I
entered the room I said to the CNA to call 911, then I assisted the CNA to evacuate the room-mate while
the other 2 CNA's was trying to put the fire out. Once the roommate was safely evacuated, I immediately
went to render aide to [CR #44]. As I was getting ready to assess the resident 911 was already here and in
the room. The EMT's asked where the other resident was, and I told them she was outside. EMT's were
providing medical care to [CR #44] and I left the room to go be with the residents that were outside. I then
notified the DON once the residents were evacuated off of the hall and accounted for.- [DATE] 10:21 AM
signed by MA C, resident expired. In an interview on [DATE] at 01:27 PM, CNA M said CR #44 did not
exhibit any behaviors such as hoarding or hiding items, she was a smoker but she was complaint with the
facility smoking policy. CNA M said there were no issues with CR #44 smoking. In an interview on [DATE] at
01:28 PM, LVN C said CR #44 was bed/wheelchair bound, required total assistance with all ADLs, had left
side paralysis but could eat with setup/assistance. She said while the resident was grumpy, sarcastic and
refused care there were no issues hoarding or hiding times. CR #44 was compliant with the facility smoking
policy and would only smoke in the designated area. An observation on [DATE] at 09:58 AM revealed, CR
#44's room floor covered by white powder and the room had been cleared of contents. There were gloves
and packs of Personal Cleaning Wipes on the floor and on the bed. An off-white metal bed lie closest to the
entrance, with no mattress and visible black fire damage. The center of the headboard was warped and
melted with black burn marks, black ash/soot was observed on the base of the headboard, bed frame, and
on the floor. There was limited evidence of smoke damage on the walls and ceiling with wipe marks on the
ceiling directly above CR #44's bed and an imprint caused by smoke on the wall were a something was
hung that was now removed. An observation and interview on [DATE] at 01:35 PM revealed, a box
containing resident cigarettes and lighters locked in the med room. A box of cigarettes bearing CR #44's
initials contained 7 cigarettes. The [NAME] said CR #44 had no behaviors of hoarding or hiding of items like
cigarettes. She said her only behavior was to make complaints about staff, and that behavior was in her
care plan. The DON said CR #44 diligently followed facility smoking policy and she would wait for staff to
take her out to smoke. In an interview on [DATE] at 03:31 PM, the Medical Director said she had been
Medical Director in the facility for the last 1 1/2 to 2 years. She said if a resident had extensive burns, the
facility would not initially treat the burns while in an emergency situation but would cover the resident with
clean, dry sheets; monitor breathing and keep the resident warm after the fire was extinguished. She said a
resident with severe burns would need specialized treatment that could only the hospital could provide but
she would expect nursing facility staff to assess the residents signs, mainly the breathing. The Medical
Director said to maintain a resident's life prior to arrival of EMS, staff must monitor vital signs and monitor
alertness. Once the resident was moved away from the fire source, staff should make sure airway was
clear, resident was breathing, provide oxygen if necessary, monitor the residents pulse and blood pressure

until EMS arrive. The Medical Director said if assessments and aide was not rendered to a resident with
severe burns the resident could go into shock and a lot of things could happen. She said a resident with
severe burns to the upper chest with shallow breathing should not be left unattended and someone should
be with a resident if they have severe burns. The Medical Director said nursing home staff can provide
services to help sustain life until EMS arrives and the resident should be continuously monitored. In an
interview on [DATE] at 04:15 PM, the DON said when an individual experienced extensive burns they must
be immediately assessed. Bleeding should be stopped, the airway must be assessed for lung sounds, and
vitals assessed. She said nursing staff must stay with the resident until help arrived, and part of the
competency of a nurse is training on how to react in an emergency situation. The DON said prior to the fire
on [DATE] staff were not trained on what do to if a resident had a severe burn, but they know what to do
now. She said to her knowledge nursing staff did not assess CR #44 after the fire was extinguished. The
DON said no one assessed CR #44 after the fire but they should have as it was a professional standard.
When asked about the risk to residents if staff failed to assess them following extensive burns, the DON
said based on her investigation, she thought CR #44 was expired when she was found on fire and no one
told her the resident was moving and groaning at the time of the fire. She said, only god has the power over
life and death, and if a resident expired it was in God's Hands. When pressed the [NAME] said treatment
rendered to a resident with extensive burns was based on what the assessments yields, but staff should
make sure the resident was breathing. In an interview on [DATE] at 03:25 PM, the ME said CR #44's cause
of death was still pending but the resident suffered from 2nd (burn that damages the top layer of skin and
part of the 2nd layer) and 3rd (burn that destroys the first three layers of skin and the fatty tissue) degree
burns on her head, upper torso and extremities. She had significant charring (severe burn that has
destroyed all layers of skin and may extend into underlying tissue caused by prolonged exposure to
extreme heat that appears black or ash-gray) especially to the left side of her body not the right. There was
soot deposition in her airway/bronchi, which indicated she was breathing while on fire. 26% of CR #44's
body surface was burned. Resident #2 Record review of Resident #2's Face Sheet dated [DATE], revealed
a 93- year- old female who admitted to the facility on 03/13/ 20 with diagnosis which included: Type 2

and she would wait for staff to take her out to smoke. In an interview on [DATE] at 03:31 PM, the Medical
Director said she had been Medical Director in the facility for the last 1 1/2 to 2 years. She said if a resident
had extensive burns, the facility would not initially treat the burns while in an emergency situation but would
cover the resident with clean, dry sheets; monitor breathing and keep the resident warm after the fire was
extinguished. She said a resident with severe burns would need specialized treatment that could only the
hospital could provide but she would expect nursing facility staff to assess the residents signs, mainly the
breathing. The Medical Director said to maintain a resident's life prior to arrival of EMS, staff must monitor
vital signs and monitor alertness. Once the resident was moved away from the fire source, staff should
make sure airway was clear, resident was breathing, provide oxygen if necessary, monitor the residents
pulse and blood pressure until EMS arrive. The Medical Director said if assessments and aide was not
rendered to a resident with severe burns the resident could go into shock and a lot of things could happen.
She said a resident with severe burns to the upper chest with shallow breathing should not be left
unattended and someone should be with a resident if they have severe burns. The Medical Director said
nursing home staff can provide services to help sustain life until EMS arrives and the resident should be
continuously monitored. In an interview on [DATE] at 04:15 PM, the DON said when an individual
experienced extensive burns they must be immediately assessed. Bleeding should be stopped, the airway
must be assessed for lung sounds, and vitals assessed. She said nursing staff must stay with the resident
until help arrived, and part of the competency of a nurse is training on how to react in an emergency
situation. The DON said prior to the fire on [DATE] staff were not trained on what do to if a resident had a
severe burn, but they know what to do now. She said to her knowledge nursing staff did not assess CR #44
after the fire was extinguished. The DON said no one assessed CR #44 after the fire but they should have
as it was a professional standard. When asked about the risk to residents if staff failed to assess them
following extensive burns, the DON said based on her investigation, she thought CR #44 was expired when
she was found on fire and no one told her the resident was moving and groaning at the time of the fire. She
said, only god has the power over life and death, and if a resident expired it was in God's Hands. When
pressed the [NAME] said treatment rendered to a resident with extensive burns was based on what the
assessments yields, but staff should make sure the resident was breathing. In an interview on [DATE] at
03:25 PM, the ME said CR #44's cause of death was still pending but the resident suffered from 2nd (burn
that damages the top layer of skin and part of the 2nd layer) and 3rd (burn that destroys the first three
layers of skin and the fatty tissue) degree burns on her head, upper torso and extremities. She had
significant charring (severe burn that has destroyed all layers of skin and may extend into underlying tissue
caused by prolonged exposure to extreme heat that appears black or ash-gray) especially to the left side of
her body not the right. There was soot deposition in her airway/bronchi, which indicated she was breathing
while on fire. 26% of CR #44's body surface was burned. Resident #2 Record review of Resident #2's Face
Sheet dated [DATE], revealed a 93- year- old female who admitted to the facility on 03/13/ 20 with diagnosis
which included: Type 2 diabetes, COPD, dementia, epilepsy, and irregular heartbeat. Record review of

automobile chair and required maximum assistance for most ADL's. For mobility, the resident was either

person assist and was transferred using a Hoyer lift. In an interview on [DATE] at 08:24 PM, the MDS Nurse
said she was responsible for completing all facility MDSs. She said the MDA represents the resident's
status and is usually a 7 day look back period. She said a resident's functional limitation in range of motion
documents how a resident performs their day to day activities. She said failure to have the correct diagnosis
or an incorrect MDS placed residents at risk for missed services and an inaccurate plan of care. The MDS
said CR #44 had paralysis on one side of her body. After she reviewed the MDS, she said CR #44's MDS
was coded incorrectly because it did not document her paralysis as a functional limitation of range of
motion. She said she was responsible for completing CR #44's diagnosis, MDS and care plan and the
errors were an oversight.Record review of Resident #28's face sheet dated [DATE], revealed the resident
was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Unspecified

alarm was captured. During interview on [DATE] at 2:41 p.m., the DON said she was familiar with Resident
#28, and she walks all day. The DON said the MDS RN was responsible for completing the MDS. The DON
said if the MDS was not accurate it was not a direct accurate reflection of who the resident was. During
interview on [DATE] at 2:47 p.m., the MDS RN said she was going to modify Resident #28's MDS. During
interview on [DATE] at 4:07 p.m., the Social Services Director answered yes when asked if Resident #28
wandered. The Social Services Director said she completed sections B, C, D, E and Q of the MDS. The
Social Services Director said she documented that wandering behavior was not exhibited as Resident #28
walks the hallways but did not wander outside. The Social Services Director said Resident #28 had a
wanderguard and she was not sure what happened prior for Resident #28 to get the wanderguard. The
Social Services Director said something must have happened for the resident to be at risk for the
wanderguard. The Social Services Director said if the MDS did not reflect the resident accurately then that
was false information because you would not be looking for those behaviors. Record review of the facility's
policy MDS 3.0 Completion dated 2023 revealed According to federal regulations, the facility conducts
initially and periodically a comprehensive, accurate and standardized assessment of each resident's
functional capacity.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Residents Affected - Some
observed residents in bed sleeping including room [ROOM NUMBER]. As the writer was at the back of the
hall 400, approximately 10 minutes later the writer heard alarm sound with flashing lights. I heard a CNA
calling me and telling me the fire was in room [ROOM NUMBER]. As the writer was going to room [ROOM
NUMBER], the CNA who was in front of me, grabbed the extinguisher and entered the room before I got
there. When I entered the room I said to the CNA to call 911, then I assisted the CNA to evacuate the
room-mate while the other 2 CNA's was trying to put the fire out. Once the roommate was safely evacuated,
I immediately went to render aide to [CR #44]. As I was getting ready to assess the resident 911 was
already here and in the room. The EMT's asked where the other resident was, and I told them she was
outside. EMT's were providing medical care to [CR #44] and I left the room to go be with the residents that
were outside. I then notified the DON once the residents were evacuated off of the hall and accounted for.[DATE] 10:21 AM signed by MA C, resident expired. An observation on [DATE] at 09:58 AM revealed, CR
#44's room floor covered by white powder and the room had been cleared of contents. There were gloves
and packs of Personal Cleaning Wipes on the floor and on the bed. An off-white metal bed lie closest to the
entrance, with no mattress and visible black fire damage. The center of the headboard was warped and
melted with black burn marks, black ash/soot was observed on the base of the headboard, bed frame, and
on the floor. There was limited evidence of smoke damage on the walls and ceiling with wipe marks on the
ceiling directly above CR #44's bed and an imprint caused by smoke on the wall where something was
hung that was now removed. In an interview on [DATE] at 03:31 PM, the Medical Director said she had
been Medical Director in the facility for the last 1 1/2 to 2 years. She said if a resident had extensive burns,
the facility would not initially treat the burns while in an emergency situation but would cover the resident
with clean, dry sheets; monitor breathing and keep the resident warm after the fire was extinguished. She
said a resident with severe burns would need specialized treatment that only the hospital could provide but
she would expect nursing facility staff to assess the residents signs, mainly the breathing. The Medical
Director said to maintain a residents life prior to arrival of EMS, staff must monitor vital signs and monitor
alertness. Once the resident was moved away from the fire source, staff should make sure the airway is
clear, resident is breathing, provide oxygen if necessary, monitor the residents pulse and blood pressure
until EMS arrive. The Medical Director said if assessments and aid is not rendered and the resident had
severe burn the resident could go into shock and a lot of things could happen. She said a resident with
severe burns to the upper chest with shallow breathing should not be left unattended and someone should
be with a resident if they have severe burns. The Medical Director said nursing home staff can provide
services to help sustain life until EMS arrives and the resident should be continuously monitored. In an
interview on [DATE] at 04:15 PM, the DON said when an individual experienced extensive burns they must
be immediately assessed. Bleeding should be stopped, the airway must be assessed for lung sounds, and
vitals assessed. She said nursing staff must stay with the resident until help arrived, and part of the
competency of a nurse is training on how to react in an emergency situation. The DON said prior to the fire
on [DATE] staff were not trained on what do to if a resident had a severe burn, but they know what to do
now. She said to her knowledge nursing staff did not assess CR #44 after the fire was extinguished. The
DON said no one assessed CR #44 after the fire but they should have as it was a professional standard.
When asked about the risk to residents if staff failed to assess them following extensive burns., The DON
said based on her investigation, she thought CR #44 was expired when she was found on fire and no one
told her the resident was moving and groaning at the time of the fire. She said, only god has the power over
life and death, and if a resident expired it was in God's Hands. When pressed the DON said treatment
rendered to a

out, then we need to take it out. Educated Resident #24 on what the said. The RP was not able to give me
information about who the Oncologist was. Called the caregiver who was able to give the writer the
information. The caregiver said, they did not want the port removed because they thought Resident #24
was still going to get cancer treatments. Explained to the caregiver what the said and the caregiver was in
agreement. The caregiver gave the writer for the follow-up appointment. Writer was able to obtain an
appointment for October 7, 2025. Record review of Resident #24's Physician Order dated 09/19/25
revealed, follow up with oncologist for port removal. An observation and interview on 09/29/25 at 11:07 AM
revealed, Resident #24 lying in bed in no immediate distress. She said she was all right but her chest was
bothering her. She said it hurt to turn her arm because the tube in her (implanted port) caused her
discomfort and she wanted it removed. Resident #24 said she wanted a walker because her implanted port
hurt when she used a wheelchair. An observation and interview on 10/02/25 at 12:40 PM revealed,
Resident #24 was well-dressed, well-groomed in no immediate distress sitting in a wheelchair in her room.
Resident #24 said her port was giving her hell, and it hurt whenever she wheeled herself in her wheelchair
and the port goes up and down. She didn't say her port hurt when she was not using her wheelchair, but it
let her know it is there. Resident #24 said Acetaminophen controlled her pain and the facility was working
with the doctor to get her port taken out. Her implanted port was observed as circular raised area on her
right chest, with loss of pigment. Her skin was intact with no redness, [NAME] or drainage observed. In an
interview on 10/06/25 at 10:10 AM, the DON said she did not know what happened between the order
received in July but in September when she found the missed order she took immediate action and got her
an appointment for October. She said she didn't see any action/notifications following the physicians orders
and failure to follow physician order to assess a port with no care could place residents at risk of infection.
In an interview on 10/06/25 at 10:29 AM, RP #1 said prior to September the facility had not notified him of
the discomfort Resident #24 experienced due to her port. He said he had no issues with the port being
removed and it was up to him and he provided the facility the information of her oncologist. In an interview
on 10/06/25 at 10:39 AM, Resident #24's family member said September 2025 was the first time the facility
notified any of the residents family that her physician recommended removal of her port and that it caused
her discomfort. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 11:09 AM, NP A said the facility scheduled an appointment in
September with Resident #24's Oncologist to evaluate removal of the resident's implanted port since she
was no longer using it for chemotherapy. NP A said prior to September Resident #24 had an infection on
her foot so she could not undergo surgery to remove the port, but she did not have any concerns for the
port because it was an implanted devices, and the facility was not accessing it. NP A said evaluation of
Resident #24's port site and labs indicated no signs and symptoms of infection. She said the facility did not
have the ability to remove the port and required an Oncologist to evaluate. In an interview on 10/06/25 at
11:27 AM, the ADON said if a resident arrived to the facility nursing staff must investigate if the port should
be removed or will continue to be used. She said a port must be maintained with flushes to make sure they
continue to work and the presence of a port could place residents at risk of infection and if they become
colonized they make an infection harder to fight and could result in sepsis. The ADON said nursing staff are
expected to follow up on the need of any kind of port. She said she was not responsible for infection control
when the resident arrived at the facility and the DON was responsible to ensure the port was assessed by
the oncologist but she took maternity leave. The ADON said to her knowledge nothing had been done
about the physicians order to remove Resident #24's port, and there was no reason she had not had her
evaluation by an oncologist. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 11:47 PM, LVN E said she

due to the port. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 12:52 PM, RN B said Resident #24 had not reported any
pain or discomfort associated with the port In an interview on 10/07/25 at 10:12 AM, the ADON said she
started her position as the Infection Preventionist at the end of August of 2025. She said it was her
responsibility to monitor all venous access devices. Since a port is indwelling it should be monitored to
check for apparent signs of trauma. The ADON said a resident that admits with an implanted port should
have orders in place when they arrive. She said she monitored residents with lines/ports upon admission or
once treatment is initiated in the facility for their use and when the antibiotic is finished or the port is no
longer in use she initiates orders with their provider to remove the device. The ADON said prior to
September she was unaware Resident #24 had a port so she was not following her and could not initiate
orders to remove her port. In an interview of 10/06/25 at 02:47 PM, the DON said the failure to remove
Resident #24 port could place resident at risk for infection. Record review of the facility policy titled Infection
Preventionist with no revision date revealed, Policy: The facility will employ one or more qualified infection
prevention and control program. There was no information addressing implantable device monitoring.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure nurses were able to demonstrate
competency in skills to provide nursing and related services for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #1) by 1 of 2
nurses (LVN G) reviewed for competent staff, in that: The facility failed to ensure LVN G was competent to
administer medications and knowledgeable regarding Enhanced Barrier Precautions. This failure could
place residents at complications from g-tube medication administration or possible infection risk. Findings
included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 10/3/25, revealed the resident was a [AGE]
year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis
(weakness on one side of the body) Following Cerebral Infarction (disorder when blood flow to a part of the
brain is blocked leaking to lack of oxygen and nutrients) and Gastrostomy Status (surgical opening in the
abdominal wall). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed BIMS could not be
conducted. Section K revealed Resident #1 had a feeding tube while a resident. Record review of Resident
#1's Order Summary Report dated 10/3/25 revealed GT: Enhanced Barrier Precautions (the targeted use of
gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities to prevent the transfer of multidrug-resistant
organisms) due to the presence of G-Tube with order date of 8/19/25.Record review of Resident #1's Care
Plan printed 10/3/25 revealed Resident #1 was on enhanced barrier precautions related to indwelling
medical device of PEG tube. Care Plan also revealed a focus that Resident #1 will receive all nutrition and
hydration via feeding tube with intervention to administer medications as ordered. During observation on
10/3/25 at 10:08 a.m., LVN G administered medications to Resident #1 individually through his g-tube. LVN
G poured water in the medication cups just prior to administering each medication and slightly agitated the
cup to mix by picking the medication up and moving it in a circular motion for a few seconds. Significant
residue was observed in the medication cups that was used for Sennoside, Vitamin C, Thiamine and One
Daily Multivitamin after administration to Resident #1. Metoprolol was crushed and was at bedside but was
not administered as LVN G was unable to check Resident #1's blood pressure as the blood pressure cuff
had low battery.Observation on 10/3/25 at 10:15 a.m. revealed LVN G threw the medication cup with the
crushed Metoprolol that was not administered in the trashcan in the resident's room. During interview and
observation on 10/3/25 at 10:16 a.m., LVN G said medications were supposed to be disposed of in the
sharp's container which was located on the medication cart. LVN G said she was unsure if she could take
the medication out of the room since the resident was on precautions. LVN G said she was unsure if she
could take the Metoprolol out of the room since the resident was on precautions. LVN G said Resident #1
was on standard precautions and then said she was not sure what precautions Resident #1 was on.
Enhanced Barrier Precautions sign on the doorway near the residents' name was visible during the
interview. When LVN G was asked what Enhanced Barrier Precautions was, she said I don't know. When
LVN G was asked how she normally kept the medications from having residue in the medication cups, LVN
G said she crushed all the medications and put them in a large cup and mixed with water so there was
normally no residue left. LVN G said normally she would put all the medications in one cup but wanted to do
the right thing. During interview on 10/3/25 at 11:32 a.m., LVN G said she had worked at the facility for
about a month. LVN G said she had no training regarding g-tube administration in orientation at the facility.
LVN G said she shadowed a nurse and then the nurse shadowed her once she was on the floor. LVN G
said she was observed giving g-tube medications during the shadowing time. LVN G said the nurse she
shadowed administered all the g-tube mediations together. LVN G did not know the last name of the nurse
who shadowed her but

gave the first name as the same as the first name of RN B. During interview on 10/3/25 at 11:39 a.m., the
Regional Nurse Consultant said he offered the facility proficiency checks and would be observing LVN G
performing g-tube administration. During interview on 10/3/25 at 2:41 p.m., the DON said the nurses get a
competency check off for g-tube administration. The DON said the Consultant Pharmacist and the Regional
Nurse Consultant walked with a nurse until they were proficient. The DON said the Regional Nurse found
two or three people to observe for medication administration which could include g-tube administration and
was at the facility weekly. The DON said the Consultant Pharmacist came to the facility monthly and went
with the nurses, which could include g-tube administration. The DON said it was her goal to do more of a
finalized training since she had only been at the facility for six weeks. During interview on 10/3/25 at 3:31
p.m., the Consultant Pharmacist said if there were nurses in need of any type of observation the facility
could ask her to watch the nurse or medication aide for medication pass and denied any issues with
observation of g-tube medication administration in the past. The Consultant Pharmacist said medications
should be given individually when given through a g-tube. The Consultant Pharmacist said you want to
make sure the medications were well dissolved, and the cup was rinsed as the resident might not get the
entire dose if there was residual left in the medication cup when administering medications. During
interview on 10/3/25 at 3:42 p.m., RN B said they administered medications separately though a g-tube
after being mixed with 10-15 cc of water and said she had not precepted anyone since she had been at the
facility . During interview on 10/4/25 at 12:26 p.m., the DON said she was unable to find training records for
LVN G. The DON said she did not know how records were kept prior to her arrival, which was six weeks
ago but she had put a binder together once she arrived. The DON said the records have been stored in the
DON's office and she had been gathering the training documents. The DON said nurses new to the facility
train with another nurse for three days . The DON said LVN G had trained with a nurse who was no longer
at the facility and gave a different first name from RN B who still worked at the facility. The DON said if a
nurse needed more time, then we always give it and work with them. The DON said she would provide the
training records for LVN G if she found them. The DON said the effect it could have on the residents if there
were no training records for staff was the nurse should be proficient and competent as they have been
licensed by the board. During interview on 10/4/25 at 1:27 p.m., the Corporate Director of Compliance said
there was not a policy regarding nurse competency when a policy regarding nurse competency or training
was requested. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 01:40 PM, the DON said the facility never assessed LVN G's
competency for administration of medication via G-tube. She said the consultant pharmacist was supposed
to assess her prior to the medication error on 10/03/25 but it didn't happen because LVN G said she would
only perform oral medication administration. Record review of LVN G's employee records revealed, she was
a PRN staff and her date of hire was 09/02/25.Record review of facility's policy Enhanced Barrier
Precautions dated 2025 revealed all staff receive training on enhanced barrier precautions upon hire and at
least annually and are expected to comply with all designated precautions. Record review of facility's policy
Medication Administration via Enteral Tube dated 2023 revealed Each medication will be administered
separately, not combined or added to an enteral feeding formula.

to update the facility nursing postings on 09/29/25, 10/03/25 and 10/04/25. This failure could affect
residents, facility visitors, vendors, and emergency personnel by placing them at risk of not having access
to information regarding daily nursing staffing in a timely manner. Findings Include: An observation on
09/29/25 at 10:16 AM revealed, the facility Daily Staffing Report posting located on the top of the counter at
the central nursing station that read 09/24/25. The posting indicated that that the facility had a Day shift (6
AM and 6 PM) and Night Shift (6 PM- 6 AM). The posting indicated the facility census, staff types (RN,
Wound Care, LVN/LPN, CNA, Shower tech, CMA and RN Admin) and hours worked for both shifts. An

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the medication error rate was not
five percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 9% based on 4 errors out of 43
opportunities, which involved 1 of 1 resident (Resident #1) and 1 of 2 staff (LVN G) observed during
medication administration reviewed for medication error.The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received
the complete doses of:1. Multivitamin Oral Tablet2. Sennosides-Docusate Sodium Oral Tablet 8.6-50 mg3.
Vitamin C 500 mg4. Thiamine HCL Oral Tablet 100 mgThe failure could place residents at risk of not
receiving therapeutic dosages and/or effects of medications. Findings included:Record review of Resident
#1's face sheet dated 10/3/25, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body)
Following Cerebral Infarction (disorder when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked leaking to lack of
oxygen and nutrients) and Gastrostomy Status (surgical opening in the abdominal wall). Record review of
Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed BIMS could not be conducted. Section K revealed
Resident #1 had a feeding tube while a resident. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary Report
with active orders as of 10/3/25 revealed physicians orders for Multivitamin Oral Tablet with instructions to
give 1 tablet via G-Tube one time a day for wound healing, Sennosides-Docusate Sodium Oral Tablet
8.6-50 mg with instructions to give 1 tablet via G-Tube one time a day for constipation, Thiamine HCL Oral
Tablet 100 mg with instructions to give 1 tablet via G-Tube one time a day for dietary supplement and
Vitamin C 500 mg with instructions to give 1 tablet via G-Tube two times a day for wound healing. Record
review of Resident #1's Care Plan printed 10/3/25 revealed Resident #1 was on enhanced barrier
precautions (the targeted use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities to prevent
the transfer of multidrug-resistant organisms) related to indwelling medical device of PEG tube. Care Plan
also revealed a focus that Resident #1 will receive all nutrition and hydration via feeding tube with
intervention to administer medications as ordered. During observation on 10/3/25 at 10:08 a.m., LVN G
administered medications to Resident #1 individually through his g-tube. LVN G poured water in the
medication cups just prior to administering each medication and slightly agitated the cup to mix by picking
the medication up and moving it in a circular motion for a few seconds. Significant residue was observed in
the medication cups after administration to Resident #1 that was used for Sennoside, Vitamin C, Thiamine
and One Daily Multivitamin. During interview on 10/3/25 at 10:22 a.m., the DON said LVN G was new to the
facility. The DON said the Consultant Pharmacist was in the building this morning and she had asked the
Consultant Pharmacist to work with LVN G. During interview on 10/3/25 at 11:32 a.m., LVN G said the
effect it could have on the resident if there was residual left in the medication cup after administering
medication would be the resident would not be getting all the medication they needed. LVN G said she had
worked at the facility for about a month. LVN G said she had no training regarding g-tube administration in
orientation at the facility. LVN G said she shadowed a nurse and then the nurse shadowed her once she
was on the floor. LVN G said she was observed giving g-tube medications during the shadowing time. LVN
G said the nurse she shadowed administered all the g-tube mediations together. LVN G did not know the
last name of the nurse who shadowed her but gave the first name as the same as the first name of RN B.
During interview on 10/3/25 at 11:39 a.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant said he offered the facility
proficiency checks and would be observing LVN G performing g-tube administration. During interview on
10/3/25 at 2:41 p.m., the DON said the effect on a resident if residual was left in the medication cup when
administering medication was that the resident was not getting all of the medication, so the medication was

not effective. During interview on 10/3/25 at 3:31 p.m., the Consultant Pharmacist said if there were nurses
in need of any type of observation the facility could ask her to watch the nurse or medication aide for
medication pass and denied any issues with observation of g-tube medication administration in the past.
The Consultant Pharmacist said medications should be given individually when given through a g-tube. The
Consultant Pharmacist said you want to make sure the medications were well dissolved, and the cup was
rinsed as the resident might not get the entire dose if there was residual left in the medication cup when
administering medications. Record review of the facility's policy Medication Administration dated 2024
revealed the six rights of medication administration are followed which includes the right dosage and
crushed medications are not to be combined and given all at once, if via feeding tube.

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure drugs and biologicals were secured
and locked in accordance with currently accepted professional principles during medication administration
of 1 of 2 staff (LVN G).The facility failed to ensure that LVN G did not throw Resident #1's crushed
Metoprolol in the trashcan in the resident's room.This failure could place residents at risk of obtaining
medications that were not ordered for them and potential adverse reactions or side effects. Findings
included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 10/3/25, revealed the resident was a [AGE]
year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis
(weakness on one side of the body) Following Cerebral Infarction (disorder when blood flow to a part of the
brain is blocked leaking to lack of oxygen and nutrients) and Gastrostomy Status (surgical opening in the
abdominal wall). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed BIMS could not be
conducted. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary Report dated 10/3/25 revealed Metoprolol
Tartrate Oral Tablet 25 mg with instructions to give 1 tablet via G-tube one time a day with order and start
date of 8/19/25. Observation on 10/3/25 at 9:32 a.m. revealed LVN G crushed Resident #1's Metoprolol
Tartrate Oral Tablet 25 mg and placed in an individual cup.Observation on 10/3/25 at 10:01 a.m. revealed
LVN G attempted to check Resident #1's blood pressure but was unable as the blood pressure cuff had low
battery. LVN G said she would give Resident #1's Metoprolol later after administering the rest of Resident
#1's medications she had ready when she was able to obtain a working blood pressure cuff. Observation on
10/3/25 at 10:15 a.m. revealed LVN G threw the medication cup with the crushed Metoprolol in the trashcan
in the resident's room. During interview on 10/3/25 at 10:16 a.m., LVN G said medications were supposed
to be disposed of in the sharp's container which was located on the medication cart. LVN G said she was
unsure if she could take the medication out of the room since the resident was on precautions. LVN G said
an effect of disposing medications in the trash can in the resident's room could have on residents was
someone could pick it up or notice it. During interview on 10/3/25 at 3:31 p.m., the Consultant Pharmacist
said if a medication was opened but not given, she recommended the medication to be placed in the
sharps container so potentially no one could reach in and take it out. The Consultant Pharmacist said the
effect it could have on a resident if a medication was thrown away into a resident's trash can was there was
a concern that someone could take it out of the trash can. Record review of facility's policy Destruction of
Unused Drugs dated 2023 revealed drugs will be destroyed in a manner that renders the drugs unfit for
human consumption and disposed of in compliance with all current and applicable state and federal
requirements.

PM, the DON said when radiology orders were entered by a provider, nursing staff must then confirm the
order. She said she didn't know why Resident #1's X-ray had not been taken yet, Resident #1's cough that
required a CXR for further evaluation was considered a change in condition so all the notifications that
should be sent out. The DON said RN B confirmed the order for Resident #1's CXR in the EMR system. In
an interview of 10/06/25 at 02:47 PM, the DON said when staff received a physician order for radiology they
must enter it into the EMR which is integrated with the laboratory and then document it in the progress note
and in-house 24 hour report log. She said RN B failed to document the order and follow up with the x-ray
and that is why it was missed. The DON said failure to timely complete radiology orders could place
residents at risk for worsening of condition and delay in care. In an interview on 10/06/25 at 03:42 PM, MD
A said when she assessed Resident #1 on 10/01/25 he was observed to have diminished lung sounds and
a cough. The resident had been in and out of the hospital with pneumonia and received enteral feeds via a
G-tube which put him at risk for aspiration pneumonia (pneumonia as a result of inhaling vomit) so she was
concerned about the cough. She said older individuals like Resident #1 present differently from young,
healthy people because their weak immune system can result in normal WBC (elevation indicative of
infection), no fever, and since they can't mount the same immune response they end up with Walking
Pneumonia. MD A said in individuals like Resident #1 she would order an X-ray to rule out pneumonia. She
said normally when she entered CXR orders, it took radiology company a day perform the imaging and the
facility would then call her to notify her of the results. MD A said she was not aware the facility had not
completed the CXR order she entered on 10/01/25, a 5 day delay was not acceptable and the facility
shouldn't drop the ball on things like this. She would not identify any risks associated with failure to
implement radiology orders timely but said it would delay identification of an issue or fail to rule out a
suspected concern. Record review of the facility policy titled Radiology and other Diagnostic Services and
Reporting with no revision date revealed, Policy: The facility must provide or obtain radiology and other
diagnostic services when ordered by a physician, physician assistant; nurse practitioner or clinical nurse
specialist in accordance with state law. Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 1. The facility must
provide or obtain radiology and other diagnostic services to meet the needs of its residents. 3. All radiology
and other diagnostic services will only be ordered by a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or
clinical nurse specialist in accordance with state law, including scope of practice laws.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the planned menus were followed and
prepared according to the weekly menu for 6 of 6 meals reviewed for food and nutrition services.The facility
failed to ensure the menu was followed for the lunch and dinner meals on 10/02/25, 10/03/25, and
10/04/25. This failure placed the residents at risk of not receiving meals that are adequate to meet their
nutritional needs and a decline in nutritional health status.The findings included:Review of the facility's

10/02/25 at 11:28 AM revealed the following:lunch menu for the day: bacon maple fish, potato wedges,
coleslaw, pudding.dinner menu: homemade soup, cottage cheese, melon salad, corn bread. Everyday
Menu listed Grill Cheese comes with soup and side salad, Hamburgers Basket comes with fries or chips,
Sandwich of the day comes with fries, chips, or soup. There was no weekly menu posted. In an observation
and interview on 10/02/2025 at 12:40 PM, Resident #53 received a hamburger from the Everyday Menu as
requested but no side came with the hamburger. Resident #53 did not know why she did not receive a side
with her hamburger. The posted Everyday Menu has comes with fries or chips for the Hamburger Basket,
which Resident #53 had ordered.In an interview on 10/03/25 at 9:30 AM Resident #53 reported she was
offered broccoli cheese soup and cornbread for dinner the previous evening, 10/02/25. She declined the
soup and ate cornbread with milk. She ate in her room and did not see what other residents were offered.In
an interview on 10/03/2025 at 10:36 AM with the Dietary Director, she reported they served a vegetable
soup with hamburger meat, cornbread, a sandwich, and the cottage cheese and melons for dinner on
10/02/25. She reported that the residents do not like roasted red pepper soup, so it was substituted for a
soup with hamburger meat with vegetables because the meat makes it a more substantial meal with the
protein. She reported all the changes were approved by the dietitian. They just had a quarterly meeting to
review the menus with the dietitian. The menu in her office had red pen marks noting changes for each
meal in the month. She said there would be a new menu coming with the changes. When asked for records
of dietitian approval for menu changes, she was not able to produce any paperwork or documentation. The
Dietary Director reported that the residents do not like the fancy food on the menu such as quesadillas and
chicken parmesan. The residents prefer the southern cooking that reminds them of home. She also
reported that she was unable to order the desserts listed on the menu due to the cost of the ingredients.
The Brownie Mousse Bar was substituted for cake because they could not purchase ingredients like
chocolate or purchase pre-prepared deserts like lemon cookies or tiramisu cake and stay within the budget.
They make the deserts from scratch to save money. The menus are prepared by a new service provider to
this facility. The menus were previously done by another company, but that contract was cancelled recently.
They order food from the new vendor as well as getting the menus quarterly. She orders food by
determining needs from her changed menu.In an interview on 10/03/25 at 12:22 PM the [NAME] who
prepared the dinner on 10/02/25 reported there was not a sandwich served with the soup. The soup was
broccoli cheddar. Grilled cheese sandwich was served as alternate

a staff member provided wound care to a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions and did not wear a
gown that it could possibly open a portal to infection and a wound was a possibility of introducing bacteria,
so it was a way for the resident to get an infection. The ADON was also the Infection Preventionist. Record
