dignity and failed to provide care for each resident in a manner and environment that promoted the
maintenance or enhancement of their quality of life for 2 (Resident #26, Resident #41) of 12 residents
reviewed for dignity.The facility failed to ensure that Resident #26 and Resident # 41 were provided
dignified and individualized feeding assistance during the lunch meal on 01/15/2026.This failure could place
residents at risk of diminished dignity and negatively affect their quality of life.Record review of Resident
#26's Face sheet dated 01/15/2026, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female, who was admitted to facility
on 03/09/2021 with diagnoses of Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (high blood pressure

at 1:47 PM, revealed SLP had worked for four months at the facility. SLP stated she was aware residents
had the right to be treated with dignity and respect during meals. SLP stated she could not say that feeding
two residents at the same time was a rights violation unless the residents were documented as needing
required feeding assistance. She stated it would be a cross-contamination concern. SLP stated a resident
would be assessed on a resident-specific basis. Regarding if it was a safety concern, SLP stated, it
depends on whether a resident was considered a high risk at mealtimes. She added that feeding two
residents at the same time could cause the residents to feel confused or left out.Interview conducted
1/15/2026, at 5:33 PM, revealed LVN D had been working for almost 6 years at the facility. LVN D stated
she has been trained on the facility's abuse and neglect, resident rights, and promoting/maintaining
resident dignity procedures. LVN D revealed she was aware residents had the right to be treated with
dignity and respect during meals. LVN D stated she witnessed the incident involving Resident #26 and
Resident #41 being fed at the same time. LVN D stated she did not believe feeding two residents at the
same time to be a rights or dignity violation; however, she stated she could see how it could be a problem.
LVN D stated that residents should have the right to eat in a safe environment. She further stated feeding
two residents at the same time could make a resident feel abandoned.Interview conducted 01/15/2026 at
5:41 PM, with CNA E revealed she worked as a CNA for almost 2 years with the facility. CNA E stated she
has been trained on the facility's abuse and neglect, resident rights and dignity by the DON and other
facility staff. CNA E stated it was not appropriate to feed two residents at the same time. CNA E
acknowledged she fed two residents today at the same time while waiting on another staff to assist. CNA E
stated she prefers to feed only one resident at a time; however, she stated she wished the facility had more
staff available to assist with feeding. CNA E stated a facility staff could accidentally use the same feeding
utensils for both residents, which would create a cross-contamination issue as well as a dignity concern.
CNA E stated the possible effect on the residents is that the residents could feel upset because the focus is
not on them individually. Interview conducted 01/15/2025 at 6:18 PM, the ADM stated he has been with the
facility since July 1, 2025. ADM stated that all administrative staff were responsible for training staff in
resident rights and dignity policies. The ADM stated staff should only feed one resident at a time to ensure
a safe dining environment. The ADM stated the situation is a Catch-22 and mentioned that he was unsure
of it being a rights violation, but dignity concerns could go either way. When asked about residents' right to
a safe environment during mealtimes, ADM stated residents had the right to eat in a safe environment. He
stated if a resident aspirated or choked while staff helped another resident it would not be a safe
environment. The ADM stated this practice, could cause a resident to think, why they have to wait. Record
review of the facility's policy on Resident Rights, dated October 2025, stated: Policy StatementEmployees
shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.Policy Interpretation and Implementation 1.
Federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights include the

more discrepancies. This also included Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen, Lorazapam[sic], Xanax, and
Oxycodone. Once we discovered which nurse was the alleged perpetrator, we blocked her access to the

sheet for her resident. Now, Tuesday, there is not a narcotic count sheet, nor a narcotic card for her
resident. Last documented dose administered to [Resident #3] was January 4, 2026. It was decided that
hospice would order 10 more doses of Tramadol to have on hand for resident and a thorough investigation
would begin tomorrow to verify the doses were not around the facility in the destroyed meds or extra
storage of medications. All information was discussed with administrator and agreement to begin
investigation Wednesday AM. Today was day 1 of the facilities Full Book inspection with the State of
Texas.On Wednesday (day 2 of full book), upon arriving to the facility and between obtaining information for
the state for the full book inspection and doing her daily duties, [the DON] began to look thru all
discontinued medications in the medication rooms. [The DON] and [the ADON] began to look through every
medication cart to verify the Tramadol was not misplaced in the cart. Narcotic book was searched through
for the missing page. Residents chart was searched through to verify that the order was not discontinued.
Verifying this would help to rule out the medication being pulled from the cart because it was discontinued.
This evidence was not found as Tramadol was still an active order in the residents chart. [The DON] and
[the ADON] searched thru the narcotic closet in [the ADON]'s office and it was verified that the medication
card and count sheet were not in the to be destroyed medications. [The DON] began pulling the daily
assignment sheets to verify who was on the medication carts for these days. The only agency nursing staff
was [LVN K]. [The DON] began watching videos of the shifts that [LVN K] worked at the facility from
01/09/2026 to 01/13/2026. There were 5 shifts all together that [LVN K] worked in this time frame.
Wednesday evening, it was brought to management's attention that possibly 60 tramadol doses from
another hall have disappeared off the cart. The Nurse [LVN E], who brought the findings to management,
remembers checking in 90 days of Tramadol for 1 resident on Monday evening shift and labeling the cards
and count sheets (1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3), However the only narcotic card and count sheet that remain on
the cart and in the narcotic count book are 1 of 3. Executive Director of Operations, Administrator and DON
decided to report the possible drug diversion as a self report. Police were also notified of the incident and a
case number was obtained.Thursday, January 14, 2026, hours of video were watched on this day by
multiple team members. Strange behavior was determined of the nurse [LVN K] while at the medication cart
. [LVN K] was looking around suspiciously before unlocking the narcotic box on hall 200 cart and appeared
to pop out 3 tablets from the same narcotic card but not able to visualize pill placement into a cup for
administration. [LVN K] stood at the medication cart for long periods of time flipping through the narcotic
sheet binder, appearing to be studying it. After rewatching the video, another management member noted
[LVN K] to be writing on a paper after looking at the narcotic binder for some time, take the paper to the
nurses station, use the three hole punch on the page, walk back to the medication cart and place paper in
the binder. Then [LVN K] picked up what appeared to be a narcotic card and put the sheet around it. [LVN
K] then gathered what appeared to be the paper, narc card, cup of water, and a medication cup and walk
down hall 100 with all above in her hands. DON and ADON went to the 100 hall Narcotic book and made
the discovery that [Resident #63]'s Norco sheet appeared to be have rewrote. Penmenship appeared to be
the same on the top of the paper as well as the received line and the first administrations of norco were all
signed out by [LVN K], however, [LVN K] did not work on some of the administration days and times at the
facility. Upon pulling the narcotic card of Norco from the narcotic box, it was determined that the QTY on the
label of the medication card was 90. The re-written narcotic sheet was marked with a QTY of 60. The
started card had 60 doses so it appeared there was a missing card of 30 Hydrocodone (Norco) tablets.
Management decided at this time to conduct a facility wide narcotic investigation. Executive Director of
Operations, Administrator,

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure drugs and biologicals were
stored in locked compartments under proper temperature controls and permitted only authorized personnel
to have access to the keys for 2 of 5 medication carts (200-Hall Treatment Cart and 500-Hall Medication
Cart). 1. The facility failed to ensure the 200-hall treatment cart was locked, medications and/or treatments
secured, and not accessible to other staff, residents, and/or visitors.2. The facility failed to ensure
Latanoprost (a medicated eye drop used to lower the pressure inside the eye) was stored at the proper
temperature per manufacturer's recommendations. These failures could place residents at risk of not
receiving the intended therapeutic benefits of their medications, missing medications, and access of others
to residents' medications.Findings included:During an observation on 01/14/2026 at 11:30 AM, LVN C was
observed pulling supplies to perform wound care from the 200-hall treatment cart. She shut the drawer to
the cart and entered a resident's room, leaving the medication cart unlocked, and shut the door to the
room.During an interview on 01/14/2026 at 11:36 AM, LVN C stated she had worked at the facility for about
13 years and had been trained in securing medications. She stated it was policy to lock the treatment cart
before walking away from it. She stated she forgot to lock it before going into a resident's room. LVN C
stated it was important to lock the treatment cart because a resident could open the cart and take
something that was not meant for them. She stated all staff monitored for unlocked medication and
treatment carts when walking the hallways and performing rounds.During an interview on 01/15/2026 at
12:51 PM, the ADON stated she was assisted with training new staff. She stated it was expected for nursing
staff to ensure all medication and treatment carts were locked when left unattended. She stated
management monitored for ensuring medication and treatment carts were locked when they performed
their walking rounds. The ADON stated any residents could possibly get into the carts and take something
that was not intended for them, and it could cause harm if the medication or treatment cart is left
unlocked.During an observation on 01/15/2026 at 3:12 PM of the 500-hall medication cart, an unopened
bottle of Latanoprost, dated 12/12/2025, was found inside a paper bag in the bottom drawer. An unopened
bottle of Latanoprost, dated 11/04/2025, was also found in a paper bag that had been stapled shut in the
top drawer. Both bottles were inside boxes that stated, Store unopened bottle under refrigeration at 2? to 8?
(36? to 46?). and During shipment to the patient, the bottle may be maintained at temperature up to 40?
(104?) for a period not exceeding 8 days.During an interview on 01/15/2026 at 03:20 PM, MA G stated she
was trained on medication storage. She stated she was trained to secure all medications behind a lock and
key when walking away from the medication cart. MA G stated if a medication cart were to be left unlocked
and unattended then a resident could get into the cart and take something that may injure or even kill them.
She stated management monitored for locked medication carts during their walking rounds. MA G stated
Latanoprost should be stored in the refrigerator until it is opened but it could be out of the refrigerator for up
to 8 days prior to opening. She stated the bottles of medication found in the 500-hall medication appeared

integrity of the medication. He stated if the medication was not stored at the appropriate temperature prior
to opening then it could decrease the effectiveness of the medication, but it would not harm the
resident.During an interview on 01/15/2026 at 7:11 PM, the DON stated she had worked at the facility for
the past 4 years. She stated the policy for securing medications required all medications to be in the
medications cart and the medication locked when walking away from the cart. She stated the medication
carts and treatment carts were treated the same. The DON stated if the cart was left unlocked when staff
walked away, then a resident could have easy access to the contents and take something they could
possibly be allergic to. She stated it was her expectation that all medications be stored at the appropriate
temperature per the manufacturer's instructions. The DON stated, after reviewing the box for Latanoprost,
that the medication should be stored in the refrigerator prior to opening. She stated the medication could be
stored for up to eight days at room temperature prior to opening. The DON stated if the medication was not
stored at the proper temperature per the manufacturer's instructions, then the medication could lose
effectiveness.During an interview on 01/16/2026 at 10:13 AM, the ADM stated he had worked at the facility
since July 1, 2025. He stated he expected medication and treatment carts to be locked when left
unattended. He stated management monitored to ensure the carts were locked during walking rounds. The
ADM stated if the carts were left unlocked then a resident who may not be of sound mind could take
something from the cart that they are not supposed to. He stated, after reviewing the Latanoprost box, that
the medication should be stored in the refrigerator prior to opening but could be at room temperature for up
to 8 days prior to opening. He stated he was unsure how the resident might be affected if the medication
was not stored according to the manufacturer's instructions.Review of facility policy titled Storage of
Medications, dated 2001 and last revised April 2007, reflected Policy Statement.The facility shall store all
drugs and biologicals in a safe, secure, and orderly manner.Policy Interpretation and Implementation.7.

or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to prepare food by methods that
conserve nutritive value and flavor for 1 kitchen reviewed for food and nutrition services.The facility failed to
ensure DM B refrained from adding an unmeasured amount of liquid to Salisbury steak with gravy, seas
white beans, and sauteed cabbage pureed meals during lunch service on 01/14/2026.This failure could
place residents who received a pureed diet at risk for diminished or altered nutritional status and potential
weight loss.Observation and interview of the pureed diet process, on 01/14/2025, at 11:09 AM, revealed
DM B poured an unmeasured amount of chicken broth into the sea beans without measuring after mixing
one time, she poured the beans into a serving pan, the beans were runny in appearance. DM B proceeded
to puree the sauteed cabbage which appeared to be over boiled instead of sauteed. DM B poured another
unmeasured amount of chicken broth from a plastic container into the blender with the cabbage. After
mixing the first time, she added another unmeasured amount of chicken broth into the mixture. When DM B
poured the cabbage into the serving dish, it had a watery consistency. DM B pureed the ground meat for
the Salisbury Steak next in which she poured unmeasured amounts of beef broth from a container into the
meat. The first blend was a thin texture; she added more beef and then more unmeasured beef broth. DM B
poured the steak in a serving container; it was not of a pudding consistency texture. When she was done,
Surveyor mentioned to DM B that the meal items had a thin consistency, she responded, they will thicken
while sitting on the steam table. DM B was asked how much liquid was used per serving, she responded
she did not know how much was used. DM B stated, This is the way I do it all the time, I don't measure. I
put everything in the blender for about 5-8 cups and then add broth. Surveyor asked DM B if she had
followed the recipe book, she stated they do not have recipe books, they printed the recipes off the
computer. DM A provided surveyor with a copy of the recipes for the day. The recipe showed the meat,
beans, and cabbage should be processed in 5 portions at a time as needed. The recipe showed the meat
should be pureed to a pudding consistency. The cabbage recipe showed the sauteed cabbage should have
included green pepper, onions, garlic cloves, and sliced bacon, but omit the bacon on the puree serving. A
Test tray was requested and received on 01/14/2026 at 12:40 PM. The meal was Salisbury steak with gravy,
seas white beans, sauteed cabbage, and cornbread. A test tray was received for a regular texture diet and
puree diet. The Salisbury steak, the cabbage, and beans on the puree diet plate all had excess liquid,
neither item was of a pudding like texture, the cornbread was the only item with pudding like texture. The
meat had flavor, but the other items tasted bland. The regular diet plate was tested, and the meat was tasty
but a little rubbery, the sauteed cabbage was bland and had no flavor, there was no indication that green
pepper, onions, garlic cloves, and sliced bacon had been used in the recipe. During a confidential group
interview meeting at an undisclosed date and time, 3 anonymous residents stated lunch today had no taste.
One anonymous resident stated, Everything was white, meals are supposed to have colors.An attempted
interview on 01/15/2026 at 4:15 PM, with DM B, was unsuccessful, she had left for the day.Interview
conducted with the [NAME] on 01/15/2026, at 4:16 PM. The [NAME] stated he has worked as a cook with
the facility since April 1st, 2025. The [NAME] stated he was trained on puree diets by a previous dietary
manager who no longer works at the facility. The [NAME] stated he uses one third cup of thickener
depending on the recipe. He stated he uses a little scoop of it at a time when blending. He stated the
residents do not like it too thick, so he listens to what the residents say also. The [NAME] stated the puree
food items should be like pudding, not too runny and not too thick. The [NAME] stated he followed the
recipe book and stated if the residents did not eat their food, they could lose weight and possibly get
sick.Interview conducted with DM A on 01/15/2026,

at 4:40 PM. DM A stated she has worked at the facility for 2 years and she became the dietary manager in
July 2025. DM A stated the cooks are trained by the dietician in preparing diet textures. DM A stated she
does not personally prepare pureed diets. She stated DM B has been provided training on pureed diets with
the dietitian. She stated the DM B reviews the recipe if she has not prepared it before or recently. She
stated the pureed texture should be smooth and hold its shape, like pudding. She stated her expectation is
that measuring cups be used when preparing food products. She stated that if a recipe is not followed, a
resident could be at risk for choking or weight loss.Interview conducted with the ADM on 01/15/2026, at
6:23 PM, ADM stated his expectation was for dietary staff to follow the recipes as written. He stated he
does not train the kitchen staff, but they have a dietician that comes to the facility monthly. ADM explained
that if the pureed diet was not prepared according to the recipe, the food could lose its flavor and not taste
good. He stated the potential harm to residents was that they may possibly stop eating and the residents
could lose weight. Interview conducted with the DON on 01/15/2026, at 6:39 PM. DON was asked, how are
physician-ordered diets (such as pureed diets) communicated to nursing and dietary staff. DON stated the
SLP initiated the recommendation which is sent to the physician. DON stated the recommendations are
returned to her and the ADON and they send a communication slip to the kitchen. DON was asked what
systems are in place to ensure residents consistently receive the prescribed diet texture, she responded
that the servers prepare the plates, tray ticket and food consistency is verified by the nurse before being
given to the residents. DON stated she expects the dietary department to follow the recipes. DON stated if
a puree diet recipe was not followed, residents could potentially choke, not receive the right amount of
nutrients or lose calories if too much liquid was used. DON also stated too much liquid could cause
aspiration.A follow up interview was conducted with DM B on 01/16/2026, at 10:11 AM. DM B stated she
was employed at the facility for 6 years but just returned March 2025. DM B stated no one trained her in the
pureed process, she mostly taught herself. She stated a dietician comes and checks the food. When asked
why a physician orders a pureed diet, DM B stated that some residents have swallowing issues with regular
food and require specific textures to eat safely. When asked how she ensures the correct texture and
consistency, she stated that when the food is poured into the pan it should not be lumpy, too thick, or too
runny. Surveyor showed DM B pictures of the pureed meal served on 1/14/2026, she stated she was
nervous on that day. DM B stated she will be looking more closely at the recipes. When asked what risks
could occur if the pureed diet is not prepared according to the recipe, the DM B stated that the resident
could choke if the texture is incorrect and that this could cause harm to the resident.Record Review of the
facility's puree diets received 1/14/2026 from ADM revealed there were 11 residents on pureed diets.
Record Review of the facility policy Therapeutic Diets dated October 2017 states: Policy
StatementTherapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician to support the resident's treatment
and plan of care and in accordance with his or her goals and preferences.Policy Interpretation and
Implementation1. Diet will be determined in accordance with the resident's informed choices, preferences,
treatment goals and wishes. Diagnosis alone will not determine whether the resident is prescribed a
therapeutic diet.2.A therapeutic diet must be prescribed by the resident's attending physician (or
non-physician provider). The attending physician may delegate this task to a registered or licensed dietitian
as permitted by state law.3.Diet order should match the terminology used by the food and nutrition services
department.4.A 'therapeutic diet is considered a diet ordered by a physician, practitioner or dietitian as part
of treatment for a disease or clinical condition, to modify specific nutrients in the diet, or to alter the texture
of a diet, for example:a.??diabetic/calorie controlled diet;b.??low sodium diet;c.??cardiac diet;

she had been trained on infection prevention and control including the use of enhanced barrier precautions.
She stated enhanced barrier precautions were used for the safety of the resident to prevent transmission of
infections. She stated she did not wear a gown while performing care to Resident #3. She stated she forgot
to wear a gown while assisting LVN C with wound care for Resident #3. 3. An observation of the lunch meal
on 01/14/2026 of satellite kitchen area 100/200 between 12:50 PM and 1:15PM revealed LVN C to walk
from hallway 100 over to the satellite dining area. LVN C removed a blue glove from the kitchen area and

LVN C removed the blue glove and held it balled up in her hand. She was then observed to wipe Resident
#58's mouth with the same hand where the glove was balled. No hand sanitizing observed. She then
proceeded to escort the resident to the TV area.4. An observation of the lunch meal on 01/15/2026 of
satellite dining area 400 between 12:45 PM and 1:20 PM revealed:At 12:45 PM, CNA E was observed
seated and providing feeding assistance to two residents simultaneously, Resident #26 and Resident #41
without performing hand hygiene between contacts.At 1:03 PM, LVN D was observed walking from the
middle of the dining area 400 to the table where Residents #26 and #41 were seated. LVN D asked CNA E
to take over feeding one of the residents and assumed feeding assistance for Resident #41 without
performing hand hygiene prior to contact.At 1:18 PM, LVN D was observed removing keys from her pocket
with her right hand and handing them to another staff member. LVN D then resumed feeding Resident #41
without performing hand hygiene.During an interview on 01/15/2026 at 12:28 PM, the ADON stated she
was responsible for the infection prevention and control program. She stated it was her responsibility to
train staff on proper infection prevention policies. She stated she had done an in-service related to
enhanced barrier precautions when it was initiated, but it had been a while. She stated enhanced barrier
precautions were used if a resident had an open wound, foley catheter, central line, and/or a
multi-drug-resistant organism. She stated it was expected for staff to use a gown and gloves when
providing any hands-on care to a resident that had the previously listed conditions. The ADON stated
enhanced barrier precautions were used to keep from transmitting infections from resident to resident. She
stated she monitored this when she was walking around the facility, but it could be monitored more closely.
She stated any staff providing hands-on care to a resident with a wound was expected to wear a gown and
gloves. The ADON stated by not wearing gowns and gloves to provide care to a resident with an open
wound, the resident is already at risk and the staff could give the resident an infection transmitted on their
clothing. An interview conducted with LVN D on 01/15/2026 at 5:33 PM revealed she was trained on proper
hand hygiene. She stated that she has been working at the facility for 6 years. The surveyor informed LVN

she sanitized her hands before she sat to feed resident, she stated she stopped to speak with a staff
member on the way and did not recall touching anything prior to sitting at the table. LVN D stated she
clearly remembered that she removed the keys from her pocket without using sanitizer. LVN D stated a
resident can obtain an infection from not performing proper handwashing.An interview conducted on
1/15/2026 at 5:41 p.m., CNA E stated that she has been working at the facility for almost two years. When
asked if she had received training on hand hygiene and assisting residents during dining, she confirmed
