**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately inform the resident's physician when there was
a significant change in resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status for 1 of 6 residents (Resident
#52) reviewed for notification of changes in that: The facility did not notify Resident #52's physician for a
significant change in weight. (weight loss of 25.8 pounds in 30 days.) This deficient practice could place
residents at risk of not having their physician notified of changes resulting in a delay in continuity of
care.The findings were: Record review of Resident #52's face sheet, dated 7/16/2025, revealed Resident
#52 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included cerebral palsy (a group of conditions that
affect movement and posture), dysphagia (A condition with difficulty in swallowing food or liquid. This may
interfere in a person's ability to eat and drink), and lack of coordination. Record review of Resident #52's
quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #52 was rarely or never understood and was moderately
impaired for daily decision making. Record review of the same document, revealed the following item:
Section GG, Item GG130 Self Care.Review of this item revealed Resident #52 required moderate
assistance with eating and substantial assistance with toileting, bathing and dressing. Record review of the
weights tab in the electronic medical record for Resident #52 indicated: 6/1/25 weight 137.0 lbs. 6/7/25
weight 182.9 lbs. gain of 45.9 lbs. 7/14/25 weight 157.1 lbs. loss of 25.8 lbs. Record review of Resident
#52's care plan, dated 7/16/25 revealed the following focus area initiated on 8/28/24: The resident is
resistive to care, Refused meal on 5/19/25 Record review of Resident #52's Progress Notes, dated 6/1/25
thru 7/16/25 revealed no documentation indicating that the resident's primary care physician was notified of
any significant weight changes. During an interview on 7/16/25 at 12:15 pm with the DON, she said she
was currently in charge of monitoring resident weight variances. She stated the previous assistant director
of nursing was responsible for monitoring weights and following up on any changes, but she was relieved of
her duties last week. The DON stated she took over monitoring residents' weights this week. She said the
CNAs on each hall were responsible for weighing residents at the first of the month. She said a resident list
of who needed to be weighed was given to the CNAs. She said the resident weights were turned into the
charge nurse and the charge nurse entered the data into the resident's Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
She said the EMR system would alert the nurse to any weight variances and the residents that had a
weight variance were placed on a list for reweight. She said that if there was a variance after the reweight,
the ADON that oversaw the weight program was responsible for contacting the doctor, resident
representative, and the dietician. She said notifications were documented in the nurse's progress note. She
stated she was not aware of Resident #52's weight variance and that he would be weighed again today.
She stated a possible reason for the variance could be related to the weight of the resident's wheelchair not
being subtracted from the weight in combination with recent hospitalizations that included intravenous fluid

administration. She stated that she expected the charge nurse to document weights timely, and for
reweights to be performed the next day. She stated that the doctor should be notified after the reweigh
confirms a variance as well as the responsible party and dietician. She said the nurse should document
notifications in the progress notes. She said if the physician was not notified it could result in the resident
not receiving interventions needed. She said she expected the charge nurse to recognize when a resident
required a reweigh and that variances were reported to the physician. She stated that moving forward she
would be performing the weekly audits of resident weights. Resident # 52 was reweighed on 7/16/2025 with
a weight of 157.0 lbs. In an interview on 07/16/25 at 3:15 pm the Administrator stated that the DON was
now responsible for monitoring resident's weights and ensuring that monthly and weekly weights were
completed. He stated the ADON that was responsible for monitoring resident weights was relieved of her
duties the previous week. He stated the DON would be reviewing all resident weights and following the
facility's policy and procedure on the facility weight system. The Administrator expected the nursing staff to
follow the facility policy on weighing residents and notifying the primary care physician and dietician when
needed. He said if the physician was not notified of weight variances the residents may not receive orders
and evaluations needed to address potential problems. The former ADON was not available for interview.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to refer all residents with newly evident or possible serious
mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition for level II resident review upon a significant
change of condition for 1 of 4 Residents (Resident #6) reviewed for PASRR (Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review Services).The facility failed to ensure Resident #6 had a new level 1 PASSR completed
with a new diagnosis of psychotic disorder with delusions (a mental disorder in which a person has
delusions, but with no accompanying prominent hallucinations, thought disorder, mood disorder, or
significant flattening of affect) and major depressive disorder (a serious mental health condition
characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and a range of emotional and
physical problems).These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the needed PASSR services
to meet their individual needs and could result in a decreased quality of life. The findings included:Record
review of a facility face sheet dated 7/16/25 for Resident #6 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Record review of a diagnosis report dated 7/16/25 for Resident #6
indicated her primary diagnosis was senile degeneration of brain (a neurological disorder that is tied to
cognitive decline, memory impairment, and changes in behavior). She had diagnoses of psychotic disorder
with delusions and major depressive disorder added on 9/9/24.Record review of a comprehensive MDS
assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #6 indicated a BIMS score of 06, indicating severely impaired
cognition. Record review of a PASSR level I form completed on 6/21/24 for Resident #6 indicated the level I
screening was negative for mental illness.During an interview on 7/16/25 at 11:43 am the MDS coordinator
said she was responsible for PASSR. She said she did not have a new level I completed when Resident #6
had 2 new diagnoses added on 9/9/24 because she did not know she needed to do that. She said residents
could possibly miss out on services they qualify for if PASSR evaluations were not done
appropriately.During an interview on 7/16/25 at 3:15 pm the DON said the MDS coordinator was
responsible for PASSR, but she (DON) provided oversight. She said going forward she would ensure the
Local Authority was notified when a resident received a new psychiatric diagnosis. She said residents could
miss out on services if PASSR evaluations were not completed appropriately.During an interview on
7/16/25 at 3:25 pm the Administrator said if PASSR evaluations were not done appropriately, residents
could miss out on services and may not receive appropriate care. He said going forward, he expected his
staff to have appropriate PASSR evaluations completed. A facility policy for PASRR was requested from
Administrator on 7/16/25 at 10:00 am, but none was provided.

(PASRR) Level I assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #21)
reviewed for PASRR Level I screenings. The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the PASRR Level 1
screening for Resident #21. The PASRR Level 1 screening did not indicate a diagnosis of mental illness,
although the diagnoses (bipolar disorder) were present upon Resident #21's admission date on 9/27/2024.
This failure could place residents who had a mental illness at risk of not receiving a needed assessment
(PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, or specialized services to meet their needs.Findings included:
Record review of an admission Record for Resident #21 dated 7/16/2025 indicated she admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and was [AGE] years old.Record review of active physician orders for Resident #21 dated

impairments in thinking with a BIMS score of 14. She had active diagnoses in the look back period of 7
days that included bipolar disorder. Record review of a care plan for Resident #21 dated 10/17/2024
indicated she had a mood problem related to bipolar and depression with interventions to administer
medications for targeted behaviors and side effects.Record review of a PASRR Level 1 Screening (PL1)
dated 10/1/24 for Resident #21 indicated she was negative for mental illness.During an interview on
7/16/2025 at 11:41 AM, the MDS Coordinator said she had been employed at the facility for 9 years and
was responsible for all thing related to PASRR in the facility. She said Resident #21 admitted to the facility
9/27/2024 and had a diagnosis of bipolar on admission. She said she entered the PL1 dated 10/1/2024 and
it was negative for mental illness, and it should have been positive. She said she would update the
information and get a new PL1 entered so the local authority could come out and complete an evaluation
for Resident #21. She said she would audit the other residents in the facility to ensure everyone's
information was accurate. She said residents could be at risk of not getting the help and miss services if
information was not correct.During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:45 PM, the DON said the MDS
coordinator was responsible for ensuring accuracy of PASRR and a PASRR Level 1 screening should be
completed before admission to the facility. She said the MDS Coordinator should review all diagnoses to

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' environment remains as
free of accident hazards as possible for 2 of 8 residents (Resident #9 and Resident #20) reviewed for
quality of care.1.The facility failed to remove worn and damaged mechanical lift slings from service for
Resident #9 on 7/15/2025 and 7/16/2025.2. The facility failed to ensure a bottle of peri-wash was not left in
Resident #20's room on 7/15/25.This failure could place residents at risk of injuries due to environmental
hazards.Findings included: 1.Record review of Resident #9's facility face sheet dated 7/16/2025 revealed
he was a [AGE] year-old male that admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #9's
physician's consolidated orders dated 7/16/2025 revealed Resident #9 had a primary diagnosis of sepsis
(infection in the body) and used a mechanical lift for all transfers. Record review of Resident #9's
comprehensive care plan dated 7/15/2025 revealed Resident #9 had an ADL self-care performance deficit
and required 2 staff to move between surfaces. Record review of Resident #9's Quarterly MDS assessment
dated [DATE] revealed Resident #9 had a BIMS of 15 indicating intact cognition and was dependent of 2 or
more staff for transfers. During an observation and interview on 7/15/2025 at 10:37 am Resident #9's lift
sling under him had faded loops. He said the staff used a lift daily for him to transfer and the slings vary but
mostly the loops were faded. During an observation on 7/16/2025 at 8:30 am Resident #9 was up in his
wheelchair and the lift sling under him had faded loops. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 8:46 am CNA
C said that Resident #9 required a mechanical lift for transfers and before transfers the slings were to be
inspected for holes, tears and frays but was not sure about the coloring or fading of the loops and fabric.
She said that a sling used that was worn or old could cause resident injury. During an interview on
7/16/2025 at 11:18 am the Housekeeping Supervisor said she had been working in laundry and the lift
slings were washed on regular cycle with no bleach and then dried. She said she had not been told to
launder them any other way and there was no system for inspection before they returned to the hallway for
staff to use. She said she could see how drying them could affect the fabric and if they were not cared for
properly residents could become injured. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 11:25 am the DON said that
the lift slings should only be hung to dry, and the aides were to inspect them for fraying or faded colors
before using. She said she was responsible for all things nursing and staff had been trained on hire and as
needed on proper inspection of slings. She said she expected all nursing staff that used the slings to
inspect them before use and not use any that were worn. She said using worn or faded slings could cause
resident injury. During an interview on 07/16/2025 at 3:11 PM the Administrator said the CNAs had been
trained on inspecting the lift slings for tears, fraying, and discoloring before using them. He said the sling
pads should be washed and hung to dry to prevent damaging the sling fabric. He said worn and discolored
slings could cause accidents and injuries and expected all slings to be kept in good repair. Record review of
a facility policy titled Lifting and Movement of Resident-Safe dated 8/2022 indicated, .this home uses
appropriate techniques and devices to lift and move residents . 2. Record review of a facility face sheet
dated 7/16/25 for Resident #20 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on
[DATE].Record review of a diagnosis report dated 7/16/25 for Resident #20 indicated her primary diagnosis
was senile degeneration of the brain (memory loss). Record review of a comprehensive MDS assessment
dated [DATE] for Resident #20 indicated she was unable to complete the BIMS assessment and had
severely impaired cognition. Record review of a comprehensive care plan dated 6/9/25 for Resident #20
indicated she had impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes related to diagnosis

she would ensure staff knew not to leave it in residents' rooms going forward. During an interview on
7/16/25 at 3:25 pm the Administrator said the peri-wash should not be left in residents' rooms due to the
risk of residents possibly consuming it and getting sick. He said administrative staff already did Scout
rounds to check for things in residents' rooms that needed to be addressed. He said going forward, he
would ensure staff knew to check for things that were labeled keep out of reach of children. Record review

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, 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 resident's goals and
preferences for 1 resident (Resident #57) out of 2 residents observed for respiratory therapy.The facility
failed to obtain physician orders for Resident #57's Bipap settings he used each night at the facility since
his admission on [DATE].This failure could place residents who reside at the facility at risk for inaccurate
care and communication of health conditions to other providers.Record review of Resident #57's electronic
medical record and face sheet dated 7/16/2025 reflected he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included: cellulitis (bacterial infection of the skin and the deeper tissues beneath the skin),
obstructive sleep apnea (sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a
blockage of the upper airway), nonrheumatic mitral valve insufficiency (mitral valve in the heart does not
close properly).Record review of Resident #57's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected he
could understand others and be understood. He scored a 14/15 on his BIMS which signified he was
cognitively intact. He could ambulate independently with a walker. Resident #57 required supervision or
touching assistance from staff with his ADLs. He was continent of bowel and occasionally incontinent of
bladder. Resident #57's Bipap (non-invasive ventilation that helps people breathe easier) machine was
present upon admission.Record review of Resident #57's comprehensive care plan date initiated 6/10/2025
indicated Enablers at this time. With interventions that included: Bipap at bedtime due to sleep
apnea.Record review of Resident #57's Order Summer Report, Active as of: 7/16/2025 indicated a
physician's order for bipap to be used at bedtime and as needed while sleeping. The physicians order did
not indicate what the bipap settings were to be. Record review of Resident #57's medication administration
record for July 2025 reflected: bipap to be used at bedtime and as needed while sleeping and was signed
as administered twice daily from 7/1/25 through 7/16/25. During an observation on 7/15/2025 at 11:04 am,
Resident #57 was in his room lying in his recliner with a Bipap machine on his bedside nightstand with the
connected tubing and mask in a plastic bag hanging from the top drawer.During an interview on 7/15/2025
at 11:04 am with Resident #57, he stated he used the Bipap at night and brought it with him from home. He
stated he needed the Bipap at night for extra oxygen and he used it every night. He stated he would put the
Bipap mask on himself and all he did was turn on the machine. He said he did not know what the settings
on the machine should be, but the nurse would know.During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 9:40 am LVN H,
who was the charge nurse for Resident #57, said Resident #57 had a Bipap and used it every night. When
asked what the setting were supposed to be she said she would look in the computer and see what the
order was. LVN H then said she did not see the settings in the physician's order and would ask the DON
where she could find what the settings were supposed to be. When LVN H was asked how she knew if the
settings were correct, she said she did not know. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 9:43 am the DON
stated Resident #57 needed a physician's order for his Bipap settings and she did not know why it was not
obtained when he was admitted . She stated without a physician's order, the treatment could be given at the
wrong setting or time and cause discomfort or respiratory distress. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at
3:30 pm the Administrator said it was the charge nurse's responsibility to make sure bipap settings were
entered into the system. He said the potential hazard of not obtaining a physician's order for the bipap
settings would be for the resident to have respiratory distress. Review of the facility policy and procedure
titled BiPap/CPAP dated August 2022 indicated it is the policy of this

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 have a policy regarding use and storage of
foods brought to residents by family and other visitors to ensure safe and sanitary storage, handling and
consumption for 1 of 2 resident personal refrigerators (Resident #57) reviewed for food safety. 1. The facility
failed to ensure the refrigerator for Resident #57 was clean and contained food items that were labeled and
dated. 2. The facility failed to ensure the refrigerator for Resident #57 did not contain expired milk or expired
whipped cream. These failures could place residents at risk for food borne illnesses.Findings included:
Record review of Resident #57's electronic medical record and face sheet, dated 7/16/2025, reflected a
[AGE] year-old male resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included: cellulitis
(bacterial infection of the skin and the deeper tissues beneath the skin), obstructive sleep apnea (sleep
disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blockage of the upper airway)
and nonrheumatic mitral valve insufficiency (mitral valve in the heart does not close properly).Record
review of Resident #57's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 6/23/2025, reflected he could understand
others and be understood. He scored a 14/15 on his BIMS, which signified he was cognitively intact.
Resident #57 could ambulate independently with a walker. Resident #57 required supervision or touching
assistance from staff with his ADLs. He was continent of bowel and occasionally incontinent of bladder.
Record review of Resident #57's comprehensive care plan, date initiated 3/8/2025 and revised on
3/21/2025, indicated Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) With interventions that included: Assure proper diet,
document meal consumption.During an observation and interview on 7/15/2025 at 11:04 AM, Resident #57
said his personal fridge was usually cleaned by the staff when it needed it. Resident #57 said he got items
out of the fridge himself. Resident #57 said he did not know the 1/2 gallon of milk was expired since
6/19/2025 or that the can of 13-ounce whipped cream had expired on 6/5/2025. During an interview on
7/15/2025 at 11:16 AM, CNA F said she took care of resident's personal refrigerators and checked for
expired foods about once a week. She said it had been about 2 weeks since she cleaned out the fridge in
Resident #57's room. She said she did not check the milk or the whipped cream to see if they were expired.
She said she just forgot to check for expired food items. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:25 PM, the
DON said housekeeping was responsible for keeping residents' personal refrigerators clean. She said
residents could get sick by consuming expired foods. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:33 PM, the
Administrator said housekeeping should be checking residents' refrigerators daily for temperatures,
cleanliness, and for expired food. He said the potential hazard would be food borne illnesses that could lead
to a variety of issues. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:38 PM, Housekeeper K said she did not think
they were allowed to touch any of the food inside the residents personal refrigerator, so she just checked
the temperature and recorded it on the temperature logs. She said she cleaned Resident 57's room but not
the inside of the fridge because she did not think they were allowed to touch the food. She said a resident
could get food poisoning from consuming expired or molded food. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:45
PM, the Housekeeping Supervisor said it was the housekeeper's responsibility to clean out residents'
personal refrigerators. She said expired items were missed probably because the staff did not open the
refrigerators like they were supposed to do. She said the potential hazard to the resident was food borne
illness by consuming expired food. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:51 PM, Housekeeper L said she
had been doing housekeeping since January 2025. She said they looked at personal fridges daily and
cleaned them as needed. She said food poisoning was the potential hazard to the resident by consuming

room or outside in the hallway.During an interview on 7/15/2025 at 10:10 AM, CNA D said she received
training on infection control and EBP. She said Resident #3 required EBP and that was why he had a red
dot by his name outside the door. She said with EBP she should have put on was a gown and gloves before
providing any care and she should have washed her hands before leaving the room. She said by not

about 2-3 times a day. She said they kept ice in a cooler on the halls and the ice scoop was kept in a tray by
the cooler. She looked inside the ice scoop compartment and said the towel was dirty and the tray needed
to be cleaned. She said they normally placed the scoop on a towel, and she guessed she never looked
inside of the scoop compartment to see if it was dirty or not. She said residents could get sick if the scoop
was dirty and they drank dirty ice water. She said there was dirt, and it definitely needed to be cleaned.

ice scoop compartment. She said using a towel could hold moisture and create germs and residents could
get sick. 3. Record review of Resident #14's admission Record, dated 7/16/2025, indicated a [AGE] year-old
male resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE].Record review of Resident #14's active physician
orders, dated 7/16/2025, indicated he had diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (a condition that affects the
brain and spinal cord), UTI (an infection that affects the urinary system), dementia (a decline in thinking
abilities such as memory that can interfere with daily life), and pneumonia (infection in the lungs). An order
dated 7/14/2025 for meropenem intravenous solution (antibiotic) one gram every 8 hours related to
pneumonia with a start date of 7/15/2025.Record review of Resident #14's MDS Assessments indicated he
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and only had an Entry Assessment.Record review of Resident #14's
care plan indicated it was still in progress. During an observation on 7/16/2025 at 8:34 AM, LVN G was in
the room of Resident #14 to administer IV antibiotics. She performed hand hygiene and donned PPE in the
hallway which included a mask, gown and gloves. She entered the room, and the resident said he wanted
to get in bed. She picked up an alcohol packet she dropped on the floor and placed it in the trash and
helped to assist the resident in bed using a gait belt from his wheelchair. She removed her gloves and
placed them in the trash and took a pair of gloves from her pocket and put on another pair of gloves without
washing or sanitizing them. She cleaned the port with an alcohol swab, flushed his midline IV access with
10 ml normal saline, and attached the IV tubing to administer the antibiotics. She removed her PPE in the
room and placed them in the trash. She gathered the trash and washed her hands. During an interview on
7/16/2025 at 8:58 AM, LVN G said during the administration of medications to Resident #14, the gloves
should not have been in her pocket, and she should have sanitized her hands between glove changes. She
said she had sanitizer in her pocket but Resident #14 threw her off (distracted) when he wanted to go back
to bed. She said there could be a risk of carrying germs or infection to residents so hands should be
washed or sanitized between glove changes. She said she had been employed at the facility for 2 years
and did not want to carry germs or infection to residents, so hands should be washed or sanitized. During
an interview on 7/16/2025 at 2:54 PM, the DON said she was the infection prevention nurse and was
responsible for oversight of the infection prevention program. She said staff were trained on hire, annually
and as needed on infection control measures including EBP. She said a resident who required EBP would
have a red dot outside their door by their name and the staff were to apply a gown and gloves when
providing direct care and before leaving the resident room, the PPE should be disregarded and hand
hygiene performed. She said hand hygiene should be performed before and after care provided to residents
and between dirty and clean glove changes. She said gloves should not be kept in their pockets. She said
she expected all staff to follow the enhanced barrier precautions in order to decrease the spread of
infections. She said the staff were responsible for taking the ice coolers to the kitchen once a week to get
cleaned. She said she was not sure if any staff ever took the coolers to get cleaned or not. She said the
scoop compartment should not have a towel inside as it could cause mold and harbor bacteria. She said
residents could get sick.During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 3:17 PM, the Administrator said the DON was
responsible for the infection control program. He said all staff were trained on infection control measures by
the DON and expected all staff to follow the facility's policies for infection control and EBP. He said by not
doing so infections could spread. He said hand hygiene should be performed between glove changes. He
said towels should not be stored in the scoop compartment with the ice coolers. He said they could harbor
mold and cause bacteria to grow, and residents could be at risk for infections.Record review of a RN/LVN
Proficiency Evaluation for LVN G, dated 7/18/2024, indicated she was satisfactory with hand
washing.Record review

and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public on 1 of 4 resident hallways (Hallway 100)
and the main dining room reviewed for environmental concerns. 1. The facility failed to ensure rooms 101,
103, 106, and 107 did not have soiled floors on 7/15/2025 and 7/16/2025. 2. The facility failed to ensure the
floors on 100 hallway did not have soiled floors on 7/15/2025 and 7/16/2025. 3. The facility failed to ensure
the dining room did not have soiled floors on 7/15/2025 and 7/16/2025. These failures could place residents
at risk of a diminished quality of life. Findings include: During multiple observations on 7/15/2025 from 4:02

and main dining room were observed with black residue on the floor tiles in the rooms and bathrooms and
floors were sticky. There was a buildup of thick black residue at the base boards and around furniture.
During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 10:08 AM, Housekeeper L said she swept and mopped the floors, but
the facility no longer had a floor technician to deep clean the tiles. She said the cleaning solutions they
used would not breakdown the black buildup and the tiles needed to be stripped and waxed. She said the
floors being dirty could affect the residents' well-being. During an interview on 7/16/2025 at 11:18 AM, the
Housekeeping Supervisor said she oversaw the cleaning of her staff and tried to buff the floors to make
them cleaner, but it did not work. She said she was not capable of stripping and waxing the floor tiles and
the facility no longer had a floor technician to do so. She said the floors not being clean could make the
residents upset about the environment. During an interview on 07/16/2025 at 3:19 PM, the Administrator
said the housekeeping supervisor was responsible for maintaining the facility environment and floors. He
said they no longer had a floor technician and have not had any luck finding a new one. He said floors that
were not maintained in a clean manner could affect residents' quality of life and he expected the floors and
environment to be clean. Record review of the facility's policy titled Homelike Environment, dated February
2021, indicated .residents are provided a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment
