activities of daily living receives the necessary services to maintain good nutrition for one (Resident #1) of
five residents reviewed for activities of daily living.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide Resident #1 assistance with feeding.
This failure affected all residents who require feeding assistance at risk of not receiving the necessary
services to maintain good nutrition and decline in health.
Findings included:
Record review on 06/02/23 of Resident #1's face sheet revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old female

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Review on 06/02/23 of Resident #1's EHR revealed the following weights:
5/18/23 150.92 pounds
Residents Affected - Few
5/16/23 154 pounds
5/13/23 151.8 pounds
5/11/23 157.3 pounds
5/09/23 152.68 pounds
5/06/23 154.22 pounds
5/02/23 159.9 pounds
4/29/23 161.7 pounds
Record review revealed 05/18/23 was the most current weight in the resident chart. The resident had lost
6.8%. Resident #1 weight loss appeared to be appropriate. The resident goes to dialysis 3 days a week,
and some days she would refuse dialysis which would cause her weight to fluctuate. The resident had
refused to be weighed at the time of the visit.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 9:57 AM with Resident #1 revealed she needed assistance. She stated staff came
in the room and set up her tray and sometimes the tray was out of her reach. She stated she always
needed help with her feedings because she cannot see out of both eyes. She said no one had offered her
assistive devices to find her food or to assist her with feeding herself. She stated she would eat when her
family member visits because he assists her with eating. She stated it gets frustrating when one cannot see
and does not know where the items are on the tray, so she did not eat. The resident stated if she had
assistance with her feedings then she would eat the food provided by the facility. Resident #1 stated she
had informed the staff that was in charge she needed assistance with feedings, but the resident could not
recall the names of the staff members. She stated no one addressed concerns.
Observation on 06/02/23 at 12:10 PM revealed Resident #1 was sitting up in bed. Her right eye (listed as
the blind eye on the face sheet) would open periodically and her left eye (listed as low vision) did not open.
CNA B assisted with setting up the meal tray in front of the resident. The lunch tray comprised of crunchy
fish sandwich, tartar sauce, green beans, mac and cheese, strawberry cream pie, iced tea, and water. The
resident started to search for silverware. Resident #1 was moving the tray as she attempted to use her
hands to guide her and because she was unable to see the silverware located in the upper left corner. The
resident had begun to use her fingers to scoop out the cream pie. Each time the resident reached for her
meal the tray would slide out of its original placement. The resident had eaten the items that where easy to
locate and closes to her. She had eaten the crunchy fish and strawberry cream pie, which was 50% of her
meal.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 12:10 PM with CNA A revealed she had been assisting with Resident #1's care
since her admission on [DATE]. She stated Resident #1 could feed herself and did not need

assistance. She stated the resident's family member brought food most of the time because the resident did
not eat what the facility provided. She stated Resident #1 can see out of her right eye because it opens.
CNA A stated Resident #1 had never ask her for assistance with feedings. CNA A stated she did not have
access to the MDS and relies on the nurse to give her updates on the resident care. She stated she was
unsure if she had access to the care plan. She stated if the nurse did not notify her any changes, then she
did not change the care the resident is receiving.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:05 PM with the DON revealed Resident #1 did not have motivation to eat and
she needed constant motivation. He stated the resident had deficient vision and did not believe she is blind.
The DON stated the care plan information is based on the information from the MDS. He stated the care
plan is pulled over to the kiosk (computer on the resident hall) located in the hall of the residents rooms on
the wall. He stated the CNAs have access to the care the plan and the nurses have accesses to the MDS
and the care plans. He stated the MDS Nurse is responsible for updating the care plan and MDS. He stated
the level of assistance the resident need with feedings should be care planned but if we do not see the
information on the care plan then her feeding assistance is not care planned. The DON stated sometimes
Resident #1 would want help and sometimes she would wait on her family member to bring her food. He
stated the expectation for his staff is to follow orders and report change in conditions. The DON stated the
risk of Resident #1 not eating food provided by the facility can lead to poor wound healing. The DON stated
Resident #1 had never informed him of concerns regarding her needing assistance with feedings.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:21 PM with the MDS Nurse revealed care plans were devised based on
information from the MDS, so any updates to the MDS Assessments should be reflected in the care plan.
She stated Resident #1 level of assistance should have been on the care plan, but she was unable to
locate the resident feedings on the care plan. The MDS Nurse stated she had done an observation on
Resident #1 on 5/26/23 and based on Resident #1's scoring a three, she stated it was in her professional
opinion that the resident required moderate assistance. She stated a score of three meant the resident
needed assistance with setting up her tray and feedings. The MDS Nurse stated section G of the MDS
Assessment, which assessed for functional status, was based on point of care documentation provided by
the CNAs and section GG, which assessed functional abilities and goals, was based on a physical
assessment and observation of the resident by the MDS Nurse. She stated it was her opinion that section
GG more accurately reflected resident's needs.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 1:51 PM with the Director of Physical Therapy revealed she had evaluated
Resident #1 on 05/01/23. She stated she stayed at Resident #1's bedside and encouraged her to eat. She
stated the resident needed a lot of encouragement feed herself, because she wanted to be fed. The
Director of Physical Therapy stated her position was just to determine if the resident can physically feed
herself, she does not determine if resident is capable based on cognitive or behavioral reasons. She stated
nursing determines the cognitive and behavioral reasons. She stated Resident #1 is physically capable, but
she might still need assistance per the nursing assessments. She the resident is minimal assist, which
means she need tray assist only.
Observation on 06/02/23 at about 2:00 PM revealed the resident started Physical Therapy on
05/06/23-5/20/23. The document revealed the resident is minimal assist.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 2:30 PM with the resident's family member revealed she had a need for assistance
with feedings because she was blind and could not see where her food items were on the food tray. He
stated he would bring the resident food and feed and guide her to her food items. The family member stated
he was not able to be at the facility for all mealtimes because he had to work. He

stated Resident #1 do not appear to be losing weight, because he would not let that happen. He stated he
would try to feed Resident #1 to prevent her from losing too much weight and help her amputated leg heal.
Interview on 06/02/23 at 4:00 PM with Director of Physical Therapy revealed, after each hospitalization
Resident #1 progressively declined. She stated in her professional opinion Resident #1 would benefit from
adaptive equipment like a divider plate, built up eating utensils to allow her to hold food items easily, and a
non-slip mat under her tray so it would not move. Director of Physical Therapy stated she and her
colleagues had discussed the use of adaptive equipment upon initial admission to the facility in 04/27/23,
but they did not implement the adaptive equipment for no specified reason. She was unable to find the note
of the meeting in the EMR and she stated she had written documentation of the meeting in her daily logs
but was unable to locate the logs at the time of the facility visit. She stated she noticed a decline in the
resident's emotional state and there had not been any improvements but did not discuss or implement the
use of adaptive equipment with the resident.
