Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure an accurate MDS was completed for 2 of 4
residents (Residents # 24 and 41) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to accurately code Resident # 24's and Resident # 41's nutritional status for weight loss
on the MDS assessments.
These failures could place residents at risk for not receiving the appropriate care and services to maintain
the highest level of well-being.
Findings included:
1.A review of Resident #24's face sheet dated 08/07/2024 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included anorexia (an eating disorder characterized
by an abnormally low body weight), debility (physical weakness), and Failure to Thrive (a syndrome that
describes a gradual decline in physical and cognitive function that is characterized by weight loss,
malnutrition, and debility).
A review of Resident #24's weight records indicated she weighed 95.4 pounds on 01/08/2024. Resident #
24's weight on 07/02/2024 was noted to be 84.2 pounds, indicating a weight loss of 11.2 pounds (11.7%) in
the last 6 months.
A review of a dietary note completed by the RD on 07/12/2024 for Resident #24 indicated Resident #24's
July 2024 weight reflected a loss of 11.2 pounds which calculated as a 11.7% weight loss in the last 6
months.
A review of Resident #24's Dietary Quarterly Review completed by the facility's DM on 07/24/2024
indicated Resident #24 had no weight loss in the last 6 months.
A review of Resident #24's Quarterly MDS assessment (Section K 0300) dated 07/31/2024 indicated
Resident #24 had not had a weight loss of 10% in the last 6 months.
2. A review of Resident #41's face sheet dated 08/07/2024 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia, chronic kidney disease, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of diseases that block airflow making it difficult to breathe), and
pneumonia.
A review of Resident #41's weight records indicated he weighed 124.8 pounds on 06/05/2024. Resident

During an interview with the MDS Nurse on 08/07/2024 at 10:45 AM/2024, she said the DM completed
section K:Swallowing/Nutrition Status of the MDS assessments.
During an interview with the DM on 08/07/2024 at 10:55 AM, she said she completed Section K of the MDS
assessments. She said she also completed the Dietary Quarterly Reviews. She said she looked at the
residents' weight records in the computer to determine if they had any weight loss. The DM said she did not
know how to calculate the percentage of weight loss.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 02:20 PM with the MDS Nurse and the DM, the MDS Nurse said that
she and the DM had determined that the DM was not using a computer report that showed calculated
weight changes. The DM said she had been using a computer report that listed the residents' weights but
did not reflect any weight gains or losses. The MDS Nurse and DM said the MDS assessments completed
on Residents # 24 and #41 were incorrect and did not reflect their weight losses.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 03:15 PM, the MDS Nurse said the facility used the MDS 3.0 RAI
Manual as their guide for completing the MDS assessments. She said incorrect coding of the MDS
assessments could result in residents not receiving appropriate care and services.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 03:40 PM the DON said the facility did not have a policy completing
MDS assessments. She said the facility used the MDS 3.0 RAI as the guide for completing the MDS. She
said incorrect coding of the MDS assessments could result in residents not receiving appropriate care and
services.
Record review of the MDS RAI 3.0 Manual Chapter 3: Section K: Swallowing/Nutritional Status indicated
the following:
Intent: The items in this section are intended to assess the many conditions that could affect the resident's
ability to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration. This section covers swallowing disorders, height and
weight, weight loss, and nutritional approaches. The assessor should collaborate with the dietitian and
dietary staff to ensure that items in this section have been assessed and calculated accurately. MDS
Section K 0300 indicated this section was to be coded for weight loss if a resident experienced a weight
loss of 5% or more in the last month or a loss of 10% or more in the last 6 months.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve
food under sanitary conditions in the facility's only kitchen.
Residents Affected - Many
There were no trash cans at both hand wash sinks.
The dish machine was not sanitizing properly and the DW did not report so it could be repaired.
Two thickened liquid cartons were not dated when opened.
One 32 oz. carton of almond milk was out of date and being used.
A drawer under the tea machine had dried brown substance in the bottom.
These failures could place residents who ate food from the kitchen at risk of foodborne illness.
Findings included:
During observations and interviews on 08/05/24 of the kitchen the following was noted:
*at 09:30 AM no trash can at the handwash sink in the dish room. There was a 55 gallon rolling trash can
lined with a plastic bag which had no lid.
*at 09:35 AM the dish machine sanitizer was checked by [NAME] A and the test strip came back white
instead of purple, indicating the machine was not sanitizing the dishes after washing. [NAME] A looked at
the strip and said it was not correct. She was holding the strip next to the sanitizer gauge chart on the strip
container. DW B was asked about checking the machine during breakfast and he said the temperatures
were all good but the sanitizer was not registering on the test strip. He said he did not tell anyone the test
strips were not registering. He said he checked his sanitizing buckets with the test strips from the
3-compartment sink. He said he made a notation on the Temperature/Sanitizing log for the dish machine
was sanitizing at 50 ppm when it was not registering. He did not seem to know the difference between the
two types of sanitizer.
*at 09:43 AM no trash can at the handwash sink adjacent to the 3-compartment sink. There was a 55 gallon
rolling barrel adjacent to the 3-compartment sink that had an affixed lid that would need to be opened with
previously washed hands,
*at 09:50 AM in the Walk-In Cooler: 1-46 oz. Nectar Thick Cranberry Cocktail had no open date. The
packaging indicated: After opening, may be kept up to 7 days under refrigeration. 1-46 oz. Nectar Thick
Orange Juice had no open date. [NAME] B said they were supposed to put an open date on anything that
had been opened. 1- 32 oz. almond milk was marked as being opened on 07/13/24 (23 days). The
packaging on the carton indicated: Use within 7-10 days after opening. [NAME] B said the almond milk
belonged to a resident who was lactose intolerant and his family member provided it to the facility. He said
the kitchen gave him the milk for his cereal in the morning and used it to prepare items that needed milk
such as pudding. He discarded the almond milk.
*at 10:00 AM the drawer under the tea dispenser had the entire bottom covered with dark brown dried

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
*at 10:01 AM [NAME] A had plates that needed to be re-washed and sanitized for lunch at the 3
compartment sink. She said the dish machine vendor had been called and would hopefully be at the facility
by lunchtime.
Residents Affected - Many
*at 11:25 AM no trash cans at either handwash sink.
During an interview on 08/07/2024 at 10:37 AM, the DM said staff knew to date all food packaging when
they were opened and would need to be stored. She said staff had been trained on dishwashing
procedures and checking the sanitizing solutions on the dish machine and the 3-compartment sink. She
said she would re-train staff and include information on reporting any discrepancies or issues.
Review of an undated facility policy on Dishwashing Procedures indicated .dishwashing machine uses
chemical sanitizing, where a chemical such as chlorine is dispensed into the rinse water .the dietary staff
must check the rinse water during each dishwashing period to assure at least 50 ppm of sanitizing solution
in the rinse water.
Review of an undated facility policy on Food Storage indicated .items such as salad dressings, cottage
cheese, etc. should be dated as opened.
