Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
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 a resident who is unable to carry out
activities of daily living receives the necessary services for mobility for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for
activities of daily living (Resident #1).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not provide for assistance with activities of daily living by addressing the mobility/transfer
needs of Resident #1.
The failure could place residents requiring assistance to transfer at risk for developing wounds, infections,
generalized deterioration, and loss of functional abilities.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected he was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 was dependent
(helper does all the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity, or the assistance of 2 or
more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for transfers to and from the bed to
chair/wheelchair. MDS did not indicate pressure-related ulcers. The MDS noted a BIMS score of one,
indicating severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated that Resident #1 had not exhibited the behavior
of rejection of care.
Review of Resident #1's care plan dated 11/22/24 reflected that Resident #1 wanted his wheelchair at the
bedside, that he had potential for pressure ulcers, and that he should have been out of bed unless
contraindicated. The care plan also revealed that Resident #1 required one staff participation with transfer.
are plan indicated client was admitted to hospice with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (lung damage affecting breathing). The care plan did not say when or how often Resident #1
should have been out of bed and did not include interventions for getting him out of bed, aside from
requiring one staff. The care plan did not address any refusals by Resident #1 in regard to transfers.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 09:00 a.m., Resident #1's family member reported the facility had
never gotten him out of bed since he returned from the hospital in May 2024. The family member reported
that Resident #1 told her this. The family member reported that Resident #1 is confused at times but that he
is, cognizant enough to tell you he wants up and is not being gotten up. The family member also reported
that she was at the facility twice last week, typically visits once every three weeks, and has not seen the
resident out of the bed since May 2024. She reported that Resident

up at that time when offered. She stated she did not chart the refusal as there was nowhere in the system
that it is typically charted. In regard to not getting Resident #1 out of bed she stated, We should encourage
him more. Being on one side is not good. He will get wounds. She stated that we turn him, but he turns
back. She reported there is no other full-time nurse for the 300 Hall.

the prior facility Director of Nurses reported she would take care of it, but RN E stated she didn't think she
really took it seriously. RN E reported that in early December 2024, she twice notified the current DON, that
Resident #1 was not being assisted out of the bed. She stated that he was new and dealing with many
things, but that he said he would take care of it. RN E stated, This is wrong. I feel like they just left him there
to die. It's been months and that man has not moved out of bed. She reported she was concerned about
wounds developing due to Resident #1 not getting out of bed.

In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 01:32 p.m., Hospice CNA F reported she had been providing care
to Resident #1 for about one month, five times per week. She stated that in her time at this facility she had
not seen Resident #1 out of the bed. She reported, The nurse tried, stating that RN E told facility
management that Resident #1 needed to be assisted to get out of bed. She also stated that RN E had
ordered and gotten a wheelchair for Resident #1. She reported that she had never heard Resident #1 ask
to get up, had never heard facility staff ask him if he wanted to get up, and had never heard him refuse to
get up.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 02:27 p.m., NP D stated she had worked at this facility since July
2024. She reported regarding Resident #1 being assisted by staff out of bed, I've been trying to get therapy
involved but it is an issue because he is on hospice. She also reported she thought Resident #1 refused to
get up at times. She reported that she would like to see Resident #1 get up as tolerated, possibly multiple
times a day. She reported there is no medical reason that he cannot get up to a wheelchair. She reported
that when a Resident is not assisted out of bed to wheelchair when needed and they remain in the bed,
they are at risk of developing wounds, they have an increased chance of pneumonia, and they can
experience a decline in health and decompensation . She did not indicate that Resident #1 had
experienced any of these things.
In an interview on 12/17/24 at 03:00 pm, OT G stated that he works full time in the therapy department
Monday through Friday. He reported that Resident #1 was no longer on Hospice and the therapy
department could not assist in transferring him. He stated it was up to nursing services to transfer the
resident from the bed to the chair. He stated that prior to being placed on hospice, Resident #1 required
one person assist and that the therapy department would get him up every day, but that since he was
placed on hospice in May, he has not seen him out of the bed.
In an interview on 12/17/24 at 03:15 p.m., the DON reported he had not been informed by a hospice nurse
that Resident #1 was not being assisted out of bed. DON stated that while everyone was responsible for the
care of the resident, the facility retained the responsibility for ensuring that the resident was receiving
appropriate care, such as transfers, regardless of whether a resident was on hospice care or not. DON
reported he had heard that Resident #1 had refused to get up out of bed. He reported these refusals of
everyday care were not necessarily charted. DON reported he had worked at this facility for about 5 weeks.
He stated he had never seen Resident #1 out of bed. He stated he did not know if staff had offered this to
the resident every day. DON reported it was his expectation that staff would offer to get Resident #1 out of
bed anytime and whenever Resident #1 requested. He reported that if a resident had continued to refuse,
the refusals should be charted, and the issue addressed in the care plan. He reported that a resident who
was not assisted out of bed could be placed at risk for skin breakdown and infections such as upper
respiratory infections and urinary tract infections . DON indicated that he was not aware that Resident #1
had experienced any of these things.
In an observation on 12/20/24 at 03:45 p.m., Resident #1 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining
room. No distress was noted. He was noted as alert and calm. He was noted with oxygen in place by nasal

did not remember when she last saw Resident #1 up to a wheelchair, but that she did remember seeing
him in a wheelchair in the dining room with his coffee in prior months. She reported that Resident #1
required two-person assist to transfer. She stated the facility had enough staff to assist this resident up to a
wheelchair. She reported if this was not done it might be because Resident #1 did not like having the
oxygen tank attached to his wheelchair and would ask to return to his room. She reported it was expected
that staff would ask residents three times a day if they would like assistance to get up.
In an interview on 12/18/24 at 02:27 p.m., CNA I reported she had been at this facility for two months and
that she rotated halls. She reported that when a resident was two-person assist that the aides would work
together to help them. She reported that Resident #1 was assisted to get up by another staff member
approximately two weeks ago to go to a doctor's appointment. She reported that was the only time she had
ever seen or known that Resident #1 had gotten up to a chair since she started working here about two
months ago. She stated she thought he hadn't gotten up because there were a lot of things he didn't like.
She said she suspected that, but that he had never told her he would not get up. She stated she did ask
residents if they want to get up. She stated that if a resident refused to get up, they charted it.
In an interview on 12/19/24 at 02:35 p.m., CNA J stated she had worked at this facility for about 2 years on
day shift. She reported, its been a few months since the last time she saw Resident #1 out of bed or in his
wheelchair. She stated he had refused to get up at times. She stated she does not know why Resident #1
might not have been assisted out of bed. She stated she had been able to get him dressed and up to a
chair at the beginning of December. She stated that a resident who was not assisted with getting out of bed
could experience bedsores.
In an interview on 12/19/24 at 03:25 p.m., RN K, reported he had been at this facility since approximately
August 2023. He reported he did not remember seeing Resident #1 up to a wheelchair. He reported his
expectation was that staff would offer to get residents up every day if not contraindicated or refused. He
reported that any ongoing refusal (days or weeks) should result in a care plan meeting and a meeting with
hospice and family.
In a review of records, the Plan of Care Response History was reviewed for 11/20/24 through 12/15/24 and
revealed that Resident #1 was transferred a total of 5 times. All other days were marked as activity did not
occur or family/or non-facility staff provided care 100% of the time for that activity. No additional notes were
provided. Review of nursing and provider progress notes from October 2024 to current (12/18/24) did not
reflect that Resident #1 had refused offers to transfer, or that there was any contraindication to transfers to
the wheelchair.
Review of records: Resident #1 MDS completed 11-19-24 did not indicate any unhealed pressure ulcers or
treatment required for skin ulcers. Care plan dated 11-22-24 for Resident #1 did not indicate any active
wounds. Review of skin assessment dated [DATE] did not indicate any pressure-related skin issues. Review
of progress notes from 11/10/24 to 12/10/24 did not indicate active infection.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to use the services of a registered nurse for 8
consecutive hours 7 days a week for all four quarters reviewed for RN coverage.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility did not have RN coverage for eight consecutive hours on 42 days during the review period.
This failure could place residents at risk of lack of nursing oversight and higher level of care needed.

Record review of the facility's employee roster undated revealed there were five RNs employed at the
facility.
In an interview on 12/18/2024 at 1:39 PM, the Staffing Coordinator revealed she had worked there since
August and stated that the staff ratio is based off the daily census but required to have an RN coverage
eight hours a day. The staffing coordinator stated that the facility had utilized agency staff that assisted with
RN coverage and that September 2024 was the last month with no eight-hour RN coverage. She stated that
when there was no RN coverage the resident would be put at great risk of poor care, so when there was no
RN coverage, she called the DON.
In an interview on 12/18/2024 at 3:00 PM, the DON, who was an RN, stated he worked full-time at the
facility for 2 months and stated there has not been RN coverage at least one weekend per month. The DON
stated if there was a need for an RN, he makes himself available to come into the facility to meet the need.
The DON stated that the potential harm of not having RN coverage would be lack of supervision and
missed pertinent treatment of the residents.
Requested punch card hours for RN coverage and the operations manager who was filling in for the
administrator stated they were unable to provide punch cards for the following dates:
12/16/2023; 12/17/2023; 12/23/2023; 12/24/2023; 12/30/2023; 12/31/2023; 01/06/2024; 01/07/2024;

Residents Affected - Many
- On the 2nd row of the 2nd shelf on the right side of the room, there were 3 small dark colored ants that
crawled on the shelving.
Observations of Walk-in Refrigerator on 12/16/24 at 10:12 AM revealed the following:
-Left side: on shelf, 2nd row from the top: 1-16 oz. container with lid, of beef base, previously opened, dated
08/27/24. There was no opened date, no discard by date.
-1-7lbs. can refried beans dated 11/26/24 had a large dent on top of the can.
Observations of the Kitchen on 12/18/24 at 12:00 PM revealed the following:
-The cook with gloves on left the serving side after taking 5 plates and lying them out to serve on, went
around to the receiving side with gloves still on, pushed a rack with prepped trays back, gathered several
small bowls, put them on a tray then reached over to the serving side and set the tray down. The cook then
touched the receiving side railing just before entering back in the main kitchen to the serving side. He did
not change gloves or wash his hands and began service.
In an interview on 12/16/24 at 09:48 AM with DM, she stated she was unaware of how long to keep opened
liquid containers in the refrigerator, leftovers and opened items in the dry storage area. She stated she
would get that information. The DM stated the staff cleans the area they work in, for example the cooks
clean the area around the stove and the serving side of the steam table, and the Dietary Aides do the
receiving side of the kitchen. Cooks also clean the refrigerator and freezer, and aides stock the food. She
stated they have pest control come out; she believes every 15 days. She stated pest control was last there
just last week and treats for cockroaches and other things. She stated she had not seen any ants before in
the kitchen. She was unsure of how to report a pest issue but stated she does not call pest control however
she would report it the Administrator and he can call them to come back out. The DM said she kept dented
cans in her office to keep separate from the non-dented cans. She stated that items in the dry storage, the
refrigerators and freezers should be labeled.
In an interview on 12/18/24 at 11:43 AM with the DM, she stated she had the information regarding how
long items are kept in the refrigerator and dry storage. She stated the previously opened liquids are kept
until the expiration date (manufacturer's), leftovers in the refrigerator are kept for 72 hours and they go by
the manufacturer's expiration date for opened items in the dry storage on how long they are kept after being
opened. She could not articulate what the harm to the residents was if dust was on the vents or if food was
from a dented can. When asked what the potential harm to the resident was for product packaging being
left opened to air or not properly sealed, she said, for me, we have to be more cautious and ensure
bags/packaging is sealed.
Review of the facility's Food Storage/Rethermalization-Microwaving/Hot Liquids Policy & Procedures

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility in accordance with professional standards and
practices, failed to maintain medical records on each resident that are complete and accurately
documented, for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for documentation (Resident #1).
The facility did not accurately document refusal of transfers by Resident #1.
The failure could place residents at risk for not receiving resident-centered plans of care.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected he was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 was dependent
(helper does all the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity, or the assistance of 2 or
more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for transfers to and from the bed to
chair/wheelchair. MDS did not indicate pressure-related ulcers. The MDS noted a BIMS score of one,
indicating severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated that Resident #1 had not exhibited the behavior
of rejection of care.
Review of Resident #1's care plan dated 11/22/24 reflected that Resident #1 wanted his wheelchair at the
bedside, that he had potential for pressure ulcers, and that he should have been out of bed unless
contraindicated. The care plan also revealed that Resident #1 required one staff participation with transfer.
The care plan indicated client was admitted to hospice with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (lung damage affecting breathing). The care plan did not say when or how often Resident #1
should have been out of bed and did not include interventions for getting him out of bed, aside from
requiring one staff. The care plan did not address any refusals by Resident #1 regarding transfers.
In a review of records, the Plan of Care Response History was reviewed for 11/20/24 through 12/15/24 and
revealed that Resident #1 was transferred a total of 5 times. All other days were marked as activity did not
occur or family/or non-facility staff provided care 100% of the time for that activity. No additional notes were
provided. Review of nursing and provider progress notes from October 2024 to current (12/18/24) did not
reflect that Resident #1 had refused offers to transfer, or that there was any contraindication to transfers to
the wheelchair.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 09:00 a.m., Resident #1's family member reported the facility had
never gotten him out of bed since he returned from the hospital in May 2024. The family member reported
that Resident #1 told her this. The family member reported that Resident #1 is confused at times but that he
is, cognizant enough to tell you he wants up and is not being gotten up. The family member also reported
that she was at the facility twice last week, typically visits once every three weeks, and has not seen the
resident out of the bed since May 2024. She reported that Resident #1 cannot stand up or transfer himself
and he requires staff to assist him.
In an observation and interview on 12/17/24 at 09:45 a.m., Resident #1 was noted lying in bed on

his back. He stated he would like to get out of the bed to the wheelchair but that, I have to have help to get
up. Nobody is here to help me. He stated that he was not sure when he last got out of the bed but that it
may have been three weeks ago. He also reported that he has low back pain but that when it comes to
getting out of bed, It hurts but it has got to be done. A wheelchair was noted in Resident #1's room.
Resident #1 did not mention refusing to get out of bed if/when offered, how often he told staff he wanted to
get out of bed, which staff he told, when he told them.
In an interview on 12/17/24 at 10:00 a.m., RN A stated she was a full time RN for the 300 Hall, had worked
at the facility about three months, worked a rotating schedule including weekdays and every other
weekend, and that she did not remember seeing Resident #1 up out of bed or in his wheelchair in the past
three months. RN A stated she did offer to get him up once last week when the family was at the facility and
complained that Resident #1 was not being assisted out of bed. She stated that Resident #1 refused to get
up at that time when offered. She stated she did not chart the refusal as there was nowhere in the system
that it is typically charted. Regarding not getting Resident #1 out of bed she stated, We should encourage
him more. Being on one side is not good. He will get wounds. She stated that we turn him, but he turns
back. She reported there is no other full-time nurse for the 300 Hall.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at approximately 01:10, Physician A stated that he was not aware of
any issues with Resident #1 being assisted to getting out of bed to a wheelchair but that he would defer any
further questions to the NP D.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 01:32 p.m., Hospice CNA F reported she had been providing care
to Resident #1 for about one month, five times per week. She stated that in her time at this facility she had
not seen Resident #1 out of the bed. She reported, The nurse tried, stating that RN E told facility
management that Resident #1 needed to be assisted to get out of bed. She also stated that RN E had
ordered and gotten a wheelchair for Resident #1. She reported that she had never heard Resident #1 ask
to get up, had never heard facility staff ask him if he wanted to get up, and had never heard him refuse to
get up.
In a telephone interview on 12/17/24 at 02:27 p.m., NP D stated she had worked at this facility since July
2024. She reported regarding Resident #1 being assisted by staff out of bed, I've been trying to get therapy
involved but it is an issue because he is on hospice. She also reported she thought Resident #1 refused to
get up at times. She reported that she would like to see Resident #1 get up as tolerated, possibly multiple
times a day. She reported there is no medical reason that he cannot get up to a wheelchair. She reported
that when a Resident is not assisted out of bed to wheelchair when needed and they remain in the bed,
they are at risk of developing wounds, they have an increased chance of pneumonia, and they can
experience a decline in health and decompensation . She did not indicate that Resident #1 had
experienced any of these things.
In an interview on 12/17/24 at 03:15 p.m., the DON reported he had not been informed by a hospice nurse
that Resident #1 was not being assisted out of bed. DON stated that while everyone was responsible for the
care of the resident, the facility retained the responsibility for ensuring that the resident was receiving
appropriate care, such as transfers, regardless of whether a resident was on hospice care or not. DON
reported he had heard that Resident #1 had refused to get up out of bed. He reported these refusals of
everyday care were not necessarily charted. DON reported he had worked at this facility for about 5 weeks.
He stated he had never seen Resident #1 out of bed. He stated he did not know if staff had offered this to
the resident every day. DON reported it was his expectation that staff would offer to get Resident #1 out of
bed anytime and whenever Resident #1 requested. He

reported that if a resident had continued to refuse, the refusals should be charted, and the issue addressed
in the care plan. He did not state how a failure to document refusals could affect a resident.
In an interview on 12/18/24 at 02:08 CNA H reported she was PRN at this facility and typically worked
6am-6pm on all halls. She reported that she had worked at this facility for about 10 years. She reported that
she saw Resident #1 up in a wheelchair today (12/18/24) and yesterday (12/17/24), but that she had not
seen him up or in a wheelchair when she was here last week. She stated that prior to last week she had not
worked at this facility for about a month. Prior to that time, she stated she did not remember when she last
saw Resident #1 up to a wheelchair, but that she did remember seeing him in a wheelchair in the dining
room with his coffee in prior months. She reported that Resident #1 required two-person assist to transfer.
She stated the facility had enough staff to assist this resident up to a wheelchair. She reported if this was
not done it might be because Resident #1 did not like having the oxygen tank attached to his wheelchair
and would ask to return to his room. She reported it was expected that staff would ask residents three times
a day if they would like assistance to get up.
In an interview on 12/18/24 at 02:27 p.m., CNA I reported she had been at this facility for two months and
that she rotated halls. She reported that when a resident was two-person assist that the aides would work
together to help them. She reported that Resident #1 was assisted to get up by another staff member
approximately two weeks ago to go to a doctor's appointment. She reported that was the only time she had
ever seen or known that Resident #1 had gotten up to a chair since she started working here about two
months ago. She stated she thought he hadn't gotten up because there were a lot of things he didn't like.
She said she suspected that, but that he had never told her he would not get up. She stated she did ask
residents if they want to get up. She stated that if a resident refused to get up, they charted it.
In an interview on 12/19/24 at 02:35 p.m., CNA J stated she had worked at this facility for about 2 years on
day shift. She reported, its been a few months since the last time she saw Resident #1 out of bed or in his
wheelchair. She stated he had refused to get up at times. She stated she does not know why Resident #1
might not have been assisted out of bed. She stated she had been able to get him dressed and up to a
chair at the beginning of December. She stated that a resident who was not assisted with getting out of bed
could experience bedsores.
In an interview on 12/19/24 at 03:25 p.m., RN K, reported he had been at this facility since approximately
August 2023. He reported he did not remember seeing Resident #1 up to a wheelchair. He reported his
expectation was that staff would offer to get residents up every day if not contraindicated or refused. He
reported that any ongoing refusal (days or weeks) should result in a care plan meeting and a meeting with
hospice and family.
Policies regarding documentation of resident refusals of care were not obtained from the facility.
