stated he would clean it right away. He stated the risk to the resident of not cleaning her environment
adequately was she could become very sick. In an interview on 9/10/2025 at 1:11 PM with the
Housekeeping Director, she stated she thought the black substance in Resident #22's cabinet was
something called track marks by their Pest Control Technician. She stated track marks were described to
her as evidence of pests walking over an area. She stated she was not sure if it was roach excrement. She
stated she and the housekeeping staff were responsible for the cleaning and sanitation of the facility. She
stated there were no other bathroom cabinets in the facility except Resident #22's. She stated the Pest
Control Technician treated and inspected the facility that morning on 9/10/2025. She stated he was treating
for reports of flies. She state that it was normal to have more flies during this season. She stated she knew

cabinet was not being cleaned. She stated that there is a monthly deep cleaning done for all resident
rooms. She stated that she believed that Resident #22 was due to be cleaned for the month. She stated

the building. She stated a portion of the roof of the building was blown off in a storm recently and the facility
was working to treat for any pests and repair any holes that were noted during inspection by the staff or
pest control. She stated that since that time there had been reports of roaches in the facility, but the staff
had been in regular communication with pest control services to treat regularly monitor the building for any
new access points for pests or vermin. She stated she had observed large roaches, but had not seen any
rodents. She stated she did not know if the housekeeper checked the cabinet to see the black substance
inside. She stated that staff probably know that the inside of the cabinet is not in use. She stated that the
department does a deep clean once a month for all resident rooms. She stated she expected staff to look
inside the cabinet when they were cleaning the bathroom. She stated she expected housekeeping staff to
look under, over, and through things as they are cleaning. She stated she would make a note to herself to
check the cabinet daily and ensure it was cleaned in the future. She stated she would add that room
number to the list of rooms for the Pest Control Technician to look at when he visited. She stated she would
do an in-service right away to alert staff to the issue. During an interview on 9/10/2025 at 1:23 PM, the
DON stated, I don't know why she has a cabinet. They probably don't think to clean it because there are no
other cabinets. She stated that she expected the bathrooms to be cleaned daily, including the bathroom
cabinet for Resident #22. She stated she would add it to the morning rounds and discuss it during the
morning meeting in the future. She stated pest control had been in the facility that morning on 9/10/2025.
She stated she was not aware of black substance scattered in the bathroom cabinet for Resident #22. She
stated that, If [Resident #22] touched it, she could get an infection. She stated the facility called pest control
yesterday to treat for flies. She stated that anytime the [pest control technician] was in the facility, the staff
would tell him any areas to focus on or where insects were seen. She stated that the facility was working to
declutter trash and unwanted personal items for residents in addition to their pest control visits to minimize
opportunities for food and housing of pests and/or vermin. In a telephone interview on 9/10/2025 at
2:07PM, the Pest Control Technician stated it was probably roach feces in the bathroom cabinet from the
description, but that he could not be sure. He stated he has been coming more than monthly to the facility.
He stated they had more problems since the incident with the portion of the roof was damaged recently and
being an older building in the country was challenging. He stated that he primarily treated for flies and was
monitoring for signs of vermin in the kitchen area and

staying on top of their communication with him and trying to keep things under control. He stated the pest
situation at the facility was definitely improving. He stated he had not see the bathroom cabinet when he
was in the facility earlier that day. He stated he did not treat that room for roaches or inspect it during the
visit on 9/10/2025. He stated he was not aware there was a continued problem in that resident room
specifically. In an interview on 9/11/2025 at 10:04 AM with RNC, she stated housekeeping should be
cleaning the bathrooms daily. She stated pest control was out more than monthly lately. She stated she felt
like the facility was doing everything they could to manage pests inthe building. She stated the condition of
the cabinet for Resident #22's bathroom was not an acceptable level of cleanliness. She stated that the
potential risk to the resident if they got into the cabinet was it could cause some sort of illness. During an
interview on 9/11/2025 at 11:05 AM, the ADMIN stated he ensured they deep cleaned Resident #22's room
after the cabinet was brought to the attention of the housekeeper by surveyor on 9/10/2025. He stated the

should be cleaned daily by housekeeping. He stated that he would have the staff check the cabinet in the
future during morning rounds. He stated that even though it is the only bathroom cabinet in the facility, it
was expected that it should be cleaned and decluttered. He stated that from the look of the cabinet and
knowing the history of the building, he thought the black substance was roach related. He stated that the
effect on the resident of having a unclean bathroom would be that it could contribute to contamination or
illness for the resident. Record review of Service Inspection Report from Pest Control Technician visit dated
9/01/2025, reflected, The medical records office. She mentioned seeing some American cockroaches in
[Resident #22's room]. Resident was unable to be moved. I did find 3 live American cockroaches in the

roof is still there.,but the tin has blown off.I checked in with the [Maintenance Director] and he said that he
didn't know of any issues. The dietary staff said that they had been doing good. They hadn't seen anymore
rodent activity, since I was there last. A liquid spot residual was applied to the kitchen, dining room,common
areas, offices, nurses station,entranceways, and exits. The fly light glue boards were replaced. Record
review of facility policy printed on 9/11/2025 at 11:54PM for Resident Rights (undated) reflected: The

that promotes maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life, recognizing each resident's
individuality. The facility must protect and promote the rights of the resident.

possibility the substance may be some type of bacteria, however it would be difficult to determine if the
blackish/ brownish substance was bacteria. She stated it was a possibility a resident may become ill with
stomach issues such as vomiting and diarrhea if they ingested the blackish/ brownish substance. She
stated the CNAs were responsible for all residents' nails such as cleaning, trimming, and filing except for
the residents with diabetes (a disease that occurs when your blood sugar, is too high). She stated for any
resident with a diagnosis of diabetes the nurse was responsible for these residents' fingernails. The

facility policy on Nail Care, not dated, reflected Nail management is the regular care of the toenails and
fingernails to promote cleanliness, and skin integrity of tissues, to prevent infection, and injury from
scratching by fingernails or pressure of shoes on toenails. It includes cleansing, trimming, smoothing, and
cuticle are and is usually done during the bath. Nails can become thinner and more brittle in the elderly and
thicker if peripheral circulation is impaired. Nails are also important in assessment, as changes occur with
certain medical conditions, such as clubbing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cardiac
disease. Color changes with circulatory or lymphatic impairment and certain drug therapy is common.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs
respiratory care, including tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning, is provided such care, consistent
with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, the residents' goals
and preferences for 1 of 2 (Resident #1) reviewed for respiratory care.Findings included: Record review of
Resident #1's undated Face Sheet printed on [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year old, male admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Down Syndrome (genetic disorder), Seizures, and Cognitive
Communication Deficit (problem with communication caused by cognition rather than a language or speech
deficit). Record review of Resident #1's Annual MDS, dated [DATE], reflected Resident #1 was sometimes
able to make himself understood and sometimes able to understand others. BIMS score for Resident #1
reflected 00 (severe cognitive impairment). Record review of Resident #1's Physician's orders printed on
[DATE] at 1:09 PM reflected an order for Full Code dated [DATE], indicating a need for emergency care and
resuscitation. There were no current orders for oxygen equipment or specialized respiratory care. Record
review of Resident #1's Care Plan printed on [DATE] at 1:11PM reflected a Focus Area stating, Resident is
Full Code. Date Initiated: [DATE]. Related Interventions/Tasks stated, Initiate BLS CPR if the resident is
without a heartbeat or not breathing. Notify EMS (emergency medical services) Date Initiated: [DATE], and,
Consult with nursing staff on changes in health. Date Initiated: [DATE]. Interventions for a Focus Area

Resident #1 was sent out to the hospital. He stated Resident #1 was in the lobby when he started
convulsing. He stated Resident #1 was breathing, but his oxygen levels were low, and he was sent out
quickly. He stated prior to the incident the resident did not show any signs of respiratory changes or decline.
He stated a crash cart was bought out during the episode. He stated emergency medical services were
notified right away. He stated the ambulance was just down the road when they called and came very
quickly. He stated the resident's oxygen improved some before the ambulance arrived. He stated he was
not sure of the exact numbers for Resident #1's oxygen levels during the episode or prior to leaving the
facility. He stated after the resident was sent out to the hospital, he notified the doctor, family, and the
administration of the episode. He stated he thought he used a non-rebreather mask for the resident. He
stated the proper oxygen flow for a non-rebreather was 8-10 LPM . He stated the bag attached to the
oxygen mask does not need to fill. In an interview on [DATE] at 8:23?AM, the DON stated staff had monthly
care related trainings and continuing education topics. She stated the nursing staff recently received a

with the resident during an emergency, while the other calls for EMS (emergency medical services) and/or
the physician. She stated a non-rebreather mask should be used during respiratory distress. She stated
she did review the incident with Resident #1 on [DATE]. She stated that the proper oxygen flow level for a
non-rebreather mask should be 5-10 LPM. She stated that she could not recall an interview with LVN A
after the incident. She stated that she was not sure what type of oxygen supplies he used based on the
note in the chart. She stated that she does look over the documentation and perform interviews, as needed,
for discharges, but does not document those investigations unless there was a concern. She stated she
had no additional investigation documentation for this event. She stated the EMS station was just around
the corner and she knew that he was picked up very quickly. She stated that without effective oxygenation
equipment and care a resident in respiratory distress would continue to decline. Observation on [DATE] at
09:02 AM of staff demonstration of the use of non-rebreather oxygen mask with LVN C and ADON revealed
LVN C set the oxygen tank to 4 LPM with the non-rebreather mask and applied to ADON with the bag not
inflated. She stated that she thought that residents with chronic lung conditions might be harmed by too
high of a flow rate. She then stated that she may be wrong about the flow rate for chronic lung conditions
and that during an emergency where a resident is in active respiratory distress, the oxygen flow rate should
be turned up all the way. She stated that she had her BLS certification and had received respiratory skills
training about a month prior. She stated that she does not use a non-rebreather mask often. ADON at that
time stated she would use a non-rebreather with a starting flow rate of 10-15 LPM and make sure the bag
was inflated prior to placing it on a resident. In an interview on [DATE] at 9:55AM, LVN A stated that he
went back to look at the progress note he wrote about the incident. He stated that he must have used a
nasal cannula rather than a non-rebreather mask for Resident #1 on [DATE]. He stated that a nasal cannula
is not ideal for the situation, but that was what he grabbed first. He stated that he should have used a
non-rebreather on high flow rate. He stated that the bag should inflate when the oxygen is turned on and
prior to placing on the resident. He stated that the DON had in-serviced him on the use of a non-rebreather
mask and emergency respiratory care that morning. He stated that he was BLS certified. He stated that he
had attended a respiratory training about a month ago. He stated that there was a demonstration portion to
the BLS course he attended. He stated that the potential impact to the resident of using the wrong
oxygenation device or using the device improperly were that they could continue to decline. In an interview
on [DATE] at 9:56AM, the ADON stated that she had BLS certification. She stated a NRB should be used
with 10-15 LPM of oxygen and the bag on the mask should be filled when it is placed on the resident. In an
interview on [DATE] at 09:58AM, the DON stated there was a skills demonstration component of the BLS
class. She stated that the class is provided for nursing at the facility. She stated that given the status of
Resident #1 at the time of the incident, from the documentation and interviews with staff, that a
non-breather mask would have been the best choice, given his oxygen saturations were in the range of
50% when oxygen was started. In an interview on [DATE] at 10:04AM, the RNC stated during an
emergency involving respiratory distress she expected the nurses to assess the residents and send them
out. She stated that a non-rebreather mask would be the best choice for a resident in respiratory distress
with low oxygen levels. She stated that you turn the oxygen flow rate to 10 or more liters and place the
mask on the patient. She stated that the mask will fill on its own with the oxygen on and should be full
during its use. She stated that the mask does not work if the bag is not full of oxygen to her knowledge. She
stated that she would not use a nasal cannula for a resident in respiratory distress. She stated she was not
aware of the incident on [DATE] when Resident #1 was sent out to the hospital. She stated it was the

responsibility of the DON to review all discharges the next day. She stated that she should also have been
notified if she was present in the building at the time of the incident. She stated that the last respiratory
training for the nurses at the facility was about a month ago. She stated that she expected all nurses to
know how to use a non-rebreather mask. She stated that if we do not provide effective oxygenation
supplementation to residents in distress that the distress could continue. The facility's policy regarding
seizure care or emergency care was requested. RNC stated that there was not a policy for seizure care or
emergency care other than the facility policy for Notification of Physician for Change in Condition. In an
interview on [DATE] at 11:05AM, the ADMIN stated his expectation regarding emergency care was that
staff respond as quick as possible to get the resident the level of care needed. He stated that he expected
nurses to follow the CPR training certification guidelines regarding care for respiratory distress. In a
telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:40AM, the NP stated for the correct use of a non-rebreather mask the
oxygen flow rate should be set to 10-15 LPM and the bag should be full. She stated that she would use a
nasal cannula for a resident in respiratory distress if that was all she had, but standards of practice would
indicate a non-rebreather mask should be used for respiratory distress. She stated that the resident could
continue to decline if adequate oxygen was not provided during respiratory distress episodes. She stated
she has confidence in the nurses at the facility and is informed well of care. She stated that the priority for
Resident #1 in the situation on [DATE] was to be transferred to a higher level of care and that was done.
She stated that the respiratory decline that occurred in hospital was unlikely to be related to the brief care
the facility provided during the emergency. She stated that the resident was being treated for a respiratory
