Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision 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 each resident received adequate
supervision to prevent accidents for 1 of 9 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents and supervision.
CNA A fell asleep while feeding Resident #1 lunch on 04/18/2025 and did not wake up to evaluate Resident
#1 after she began to cough.
This failure placed residents who required feeding assistance at risk of aspirating food particles, pneumonia
(an infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs), and possible death.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 04/23/2024 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female
who was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and recently readmitted on [DATE]. She was diagnosed
with dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities that interfere with daily
living), severe protein-calorie malnutrition (a serious condition where the body lacks sufficient energy and
protein), atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow),
age-related osteoporosis (a condition where bones become weak and brittle due to a decrease in bone
density), diabetes (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood), and essential
hypertension (a chronic condition of persistently high blood pressure with no identifiable cause).
Record review of Resident #1's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 5 (severe
cognitive impairment); Resident #1 did not exhibit behaviors related to rejection of care; Resident #1
required supervision or touching assistance for eating; and Resident #1 did not exhibit signs and symptoms
of possible swallowing disorders.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan revised on 04/18/2025 revealed the following care areas:
*
[Resident #1] has an ADL self-care performance deficit related to disease process. Goal included:
[Resident #1] will maintain current level of function. Interventions included: Eating: Provide milkshakes or
liquid food supplements when the resident refuses or has difficulty with solid food or provide nutritious foods
that can be taken from a cup or a mug where appropriate. Eating: The resident requires set up and
assistance as needed x 1 staff.

Record review of Resident #1's Speech Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 04/18/2025
revealed, . Recommendations: Intake: Solids - Mechanical Soft Textures, Mechanical Soft/Ground Textures.
Liquids - Thin Liquids. Supervision: Supervision for Oral Intake - Close supervision . Assessment Summary:
. Risk factors: Due to the documented physical impairments and associated functional deficits, the patient is
at risk for: aspiration, compromised general health, decreased ability to return to prior level of assistance,
decreased participation with functional tasks . increased dependency upon caregivers, malnutrition,
pneumonia, weight loss, and muscle atrophy (progressive loss of muscle mass). Impressions: Patient
presents with moderate oral (difficulty with the oral phase of swallowing, which is the first stage of the
swallowing process and occurs in the mouth) and mild pharyngeal phase (difficulty swallowing that
specifically affects the pharynx, the area of the throat where food and liquids are transported from the
mouth to the esophagus) dysphagia consisting of reduced lingual (tongue) strength and coordination along
with reduced bolus propulsion and movement that results in post swallow oral residue in the left lateral sulci
(the space or groove formed between the gums and cheek) .
Record review of Resident #1's Radiology Interpretation dated 04/24/2025 revealed she had a 2-view chest
x-ray completed on 04/24/2025. The x-ray determined that Resident #1's lungs were clear and well inflated
bilaterally.
Record review of the facility's staff sign-in sheet for 04/18/2025 revealed CNA A's first name was listed as
the CNA assigned to Resident #1's room for the day shift (6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.).
Record review of the facility's staff roster revealed no staff with CNA A's first name. Further review of the
record revealed Staff D was not listed.
Observation of camera footage from a camera behind and above Resident #1's bed (Video #1) revealed the
video was dated 04/18/2025 and time-stamped 12:38:17. In the camera's view, you could see the top of
Resident #1's head, both arms/hands, and her personal belongings on the other side of the room. CNA A
was sitting in a chair to the right of Resident #1 (by the window), facing the camera. There was a plate of
food on the table directly in front of CNA A. The plate cover was placed at the foot of Resident #1's bed. At
the beginning of the video, CNA A's eyes are closed. The video did not show if Resident #1 was chewing or
that CNA A placed any food into her mouth. Resident #1 could be seen moving her head and arms/hands
while CNA A was asleep. At 12:38:27, Resident #1 started to cough. CNA A moved her head from one side
to the other, but she did not open her eyes. At 12:38:31, resident put her left hand over her mouth, while still
coughing. CNA A's eyes fluttered, like they opened and closed at 12:38:36, while Resident #1 was still
coughing. CNA A looked over at Resident #1 at 12:38:44, then quickly turned her head back towards the
wall and closed her eyes again. Resident #1 stopped coughing and waived her left hand from side-to-side
and said no (as if to say no more food). At 12:38:05, CNA A's head started dropped and raised as she
slept. Her head rose and fell several times, and her eyes fluttered a few times. At 12:41:37, CNA A woke up
and attempted to give Resident #1 more food. Resident #1 shook her head and said no. CNA A put the food
down and closed her eyes again. CNA A adjusted herself slightly in the chair, chewed on whatever was in
her mouth a few times, and then she closed her eyes again. Her head began to rise and fall again. The
video ended at 12:42:40 with the staff still asleep. A television could be heard in the background and an
inaudible voice was heard twice throughout the video. It was unknown if the voice came from inside the
room or from the hallway.
Observation of Video #2 revealed it was dated 04/18/2025 and time-stamped 12:46:51. The plate of food
was covered from the start of the video, but CNA A was still asleep in the same chair as the

(presumably Resident #2) said, You better wake up! CNA A woke up and smiled towards the direction of the
voice. CNA A started chewing something in her mouth and then opened and closed the cover on the plate

Residents Affected - Few
Observation of Resident #1 on 04/23/2025, at 11:15 a.m. revealed she was alert and wheelchair bound.
In an interview with the VP of Operations on 04/23/2025, at 11:30 a.m., he stated the facility did not yet
have a permanent Administrator or DON. He also stated the ADON had recently been hired and the facility
lost a lot of staff in March 2025 and April 2025. He stated the facility utilized staff from their sister (other
facilities owned by the same company) facilities whenever they needed to fill shifts due to vacancies or
callouts.
In a telephone interview with LVN C on 04/24/2024, at 10:34 a.m., she stated she worked the day shift
(nurses worked 12-hour shifts. Day shift: 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) on Friday (04/18/2025), Saturday
(04/19/2025), and Sunday (04/20/2025) and she was assigned to Resident #1 on Friday, 04/18/2025. She
stated Resident #1's roommate (Resident #2) said the aide who fed Resident #1 lunch on 04/18/2025 fell
asleep, but nobody ever told her Resident #1 choked or coughed during the meal. She said she could not
recall the CNA's name, but she confronted her about falling asleep while feeding Resident #1. She said the
CNA denied that she was asleep. She said she did not want to have a confrontation in front of Resident #2,
so she told Resident #2 she would educate the CNA about sleeping while providing feeding assistance.
She said Resident #1 was alert and oriented x 3-4 (terms used to describe a patient's level of awareness
and cognitive functioning. 3: person, place, and time. 4: person, place, time, and situation) but she was
confused once-in-a-while. She said Resident #1 usually could not eat in her room because she required
assistance. She said Resident #1 previously ate unassisted, but recently declined and currently needed
assistance. She stated on Friday, 04/18/2025, Resident #1 was just coming back from the hospital and was
weak, so she told the CNA to leave her in bed and assist with feeding. LVN C said she requested a speech
therapy evaluation for Resident #1 because her family member said the hospital told her Resident #1
needed one. She said Resident #1's family member never told her Resident #1 choked or coughed during
any meal.
In an interview with the Interim Administrator on 04/24/2025 at 11:07 a.m., she stated Resident #1's family
member had not showed her any video or informed her that a CNA fell asleep while feeding Resident #1.
After watching the video, the Interim Administrator said she did not recognize the CNA who fell asleep. She
stated the facility used staff from other buildings to fill shifts when they were short. She stated she would
look at the facility's schedule to try and identify the staff member. She stated it was not appropriate for staff
to sleep while providing care to a resident. She said if the CNA had something going on or needed a break,
she should have advised the nurse. She said recently, Resident #1 had not been eating as much as she
previously did and after looking at her clinical records (regarding the decrease in appetite), they wanted to
get her evaluated for speech therapy. The Interim Administrator stated the negative effect of the situation
was that the CNA did not assist the resident with eating while she was asleep. She also said the CNA never
got up to check on the resident when she started coughing. She stated she would initiate an investigation,
call in a self-report to HHSC, and decide what disciplinary action, including termination, should be issued to
the CNA. She stated the facility educated all staff on how to properly assist resident with feeding if the
resident was known to not eat a lot.

In an interview with the Regional Clinical Specialist on 04/24/2024 at 12:04 p.m., she reviewed the video
and stated it was not appropriate for the CNA to fall asleep while feeding Resident #1. She stated a
negative effect would be that Resident #1 possibly did not complete her meal. She said a possible negative
effect would be that the CNA would not have known if Resident #1 was in distress because she did not
wake up while the resident was coughing. She stated she was going to assess Resident #1 for a COC and
have her evaluated for swallowing issues.
In an interview with Resident #2 on 04/24/2025 at 12:30 p.m., she stated on Friday (04/18/2025), a nurse (it
was a CNA) fell asleep three times while she was feeding Resident #1. She said she did not know who the
nurse was, but she had seen her working at the facility a few times. She said she could see Resident #1
when she started coughing because she usually tried to keep the privacy curtain open. She said Resident
#1 looked like she was choking, and she (Resident #2) yelled for the nurse to wake up, but the nurse just
looked up at her and grinned. She said she could not recall if she yelled at the nurse while Resident #1 was
coughing.
In an interview with Resident #1, her family member, and Resident #2 on 04/24/2025 at 12:50 p.m.,
Resident #1 said she once choked at the facility when someone said something funny. Resident #1 said the
staff sometimes fell asleep while helping her eat. Resident #2 said the nurse asked the lady about falling
asleep inside of their room and the lady said she was not asleep. Resident #2 said she told the lady she
was a [expletive word] lie. Resident #2 said the lady and the nurse left the room after that. Resident #1's
family member said the cameras in Resident #1's and Resident #2's room were motion activated.
In an interview with Resident #1's NP on 04/24/2025 at 1:15 p.m., she stated Resident #1 did not
previously have any issues with dysphagia and choking would be a new concern. She said Resident #1
recently declined and her muscles were weakening. After reviewing the video, the NP said the staff should
know to not fall asleep. The NP said it looked to her like Resident #1 was coughing and not choking
because if she was choking, she would have been in a lot more distress. She said if Resident #1 choked,
there would be something in her lungs. She said she just ordered a chest x-ray a few minutes prior, after
learning from staff that there was concern about Resident #1 choking. She said the negative result was that
the CNA could have responded more quickly had she not been sleeping.
In a follow-up interview with the Interim Administrator on 04/24/2025 at 2:15 p.m., she stated she was not
yet able to identify the staff in the video, but once she did, she would forward her name and phone number.
On 04/25/2024, at 10:59 a.m., CNA A's name and phone number were provided by the Interim
Administrator.
An attempt was to contact CNA A by phone on 04/25/2025 at 11:22 a.m. A voicemail message was left, but
the call was not returned prior to exit.
