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
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure a resident who is unable to carry
out activities of daily living receives the necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal
hygiene for 1 of 7 Residents (Resident #33) reviewed for ADL care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide grooming services, in the form of nail care, for Resident #33.
This failure could have placed residents at risk of scratches, infections, or lowered self-esteem.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #33's AR, dated 10/14/2024, reflected an [AGE] year-old woman, who admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. She was diagnosed with Dementia (which was a disease that affected memory,
thought, and interfered with daily life), Acquired Absence of Left Finger (left index), the Need for Assistance
with Personal care, and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (which was a condition of the body that disrupted how the
body used sugar for fuel).
Record review of Resident #33's admission MDS assessment, dated 10/8/2024, reflected the resident had
a BIMS Score of 12. A BIMS Score of 12 indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. The
resident had impairment on one side of their upper extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand.) The
resident had no impairment in either lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle, and foot.) The resident required
partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene (The ability to maintain personal hygiene, including
combing hair, shaving, applying makeup, washing/drying face, and hands) which meant the helper provided
less than half the effort while the resident completed the greater portion of the activity.
Record review of Resident #33's CCP reflected an area of Focus area for ADL Care, initiated on 10/1/2024,
evidenced by ADL Care Self-Performance Self Deficits. The Goal, initiated on 10/1/2024 indicated the
resident would improve self-care. The Intervention, initiated on 10/1/2024, delegated nursing home staff to
perform personal hygiene, resident was dependent.
Record review of Resident #33's Order Summary Report indicated an order, start date of 10/5/2024 for
weekly skin checks (every Saturday night.)
Interview and observation on 10/14/24 at 12:34 PM of Resident #33 revealed her in her room and sitting in
a wheelchair watching television. The room was free from clutter and odors. She stated she was doing
alright. She was alert and orientated to place and time. Observations revealed a recent amputation of her
left index finger. Closer inspection revealed her thumb nail extended 1/2 inch past

the fingertip, middle finger fingernail (if she had five fingers) was 1/4 inch past the fingertip and jagged, her
ring finger fingernail extended 3/4 inches past the fingertip, and her pinky finger fingernail was 1/2 inch past
the fingertip. He right hand thumbnail extended 1/2 inch past the fingertip, her index finger fingernail was
short and extended 1/8 inch past the fingertip, but curled down towards the fingertip, her middle finger
fingernail was 3/4 inch past the fingertip, her ring finger fingernail extended 3/4 inches past the fingertip,
and her pinky finger fingernail was 1/2 inch past the fingertip. Resident did not want to complain about her
fingernail length, but felt they were too long and needed to be trimmed.
Observations on 10/16/24 at 8:56 AM revealed Resident #33's fingernails had not been trimmed (matching
the observation on 10/14/2024 at 12:34 PM). She was indifferent about her nails having been neglected.
She was not aware staff were supposed to have been helping her with her nail hygiene, but overall felt she
deserved more attention to her nails.
Interview and record review on 10/16/24 at 9:28 AM with CNA M revealed residents who are
bathed/showered were observed for skin abnormalities, which included the need for nail care. The resident
either had a documented paper shower observation sheet, or the services were documented in PCC (the
facility's documentation platform). Record review of the facility's binder of shower sheet observations, which
was located at the nurse's station, did not contain a shower sheet for Resident #33.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 9:36 AM with LVN O, revealed some residents received paper shower observation
sheets or the shower observations were documented in PCC.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 9:44 AM with CNA N revealed residents who received showers/baths received
observation of skin and body, which were either documented in PCC or on a paper shower observation
sheet. Observations of CNA N having searched PCC for shower/skin observations did not reveal shower
observation documentation for Resident #33.
Interview and observations on 10/16/24 at 10:02 AM with RN Q, revealed Resident #33 was a diabetic and
licensed nursing staff would have been enlisted to perform nail care for diabetic residents. RN Q expected
the CNA staff to document the skin observations, to include the need for nail care, on a paper shower
observation sheet. Observations of RN Q having searched PCC for any documentation, revealed PCC did
not allow for elaborations of shower observations. The options for CNA staff were limited to either
yes-meaning task performed, or No-meaning task not performed. The risks for residents, with long or
jagged fingernails, were scratches, infections, and lowered self-esteem. Safeguards in place to identify the
need for nail care were regular rounds, paper shower observation sheets, and staff awareness.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 10:13 AM with LVN O revealed she approached Resident #33, in her room, for a
nail observation. She stated Resident #33 did not want her nails cut. LVN O, stated Resident #33
responded with the offer of nail care with, No. Not at all. Even though Resident #33 refused nail care on
10/16/24 at 10:13 AM, LVN O stated there should have been documentation of the refusal having been
obtained prior to today, 10/16/2024.
Observation and interview on 10/16/24 at 10:26 AM with Resident #33 revealed her being taken to physical
therapy in her wheelchair. Resident #33 stated she did not refuse nail care and stated, I did not say no, I
was in the bathroom when they asked. I do want my nails cut.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 10:13 AM with LVN O revealed she revisited Resident #33's nail care. She

stated she misunderstood Resident #33 earlier on room visit on 10/16/24 at 10:13 AM. Her revisit resulted
in Resident #33 having desired to have her nails cut.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 2:52 PM with the GM revealed she expected her staff to assess the need for
grooming and let the resident make the choice to whether they wanted the service performed. If the
resident's choice to refuse nail care ever reached the point of an accident, the facility staff would speak to
the medical provider to address the concern. The GM deferred questions that pertained to negative
consequences of long, or jagged nails, as they were of a clinical nature.
Record review of the facility's ADL Policy, dated November 2020, revealed the facility would provide each
resident with care, treatment, and services. The policy included: bathing, dressing, grooming, transferring,
locomotion, ambulation, toileting, eating, and communication.

Record review of Resident #152's AR, dated 10/15/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old woman, who admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. She was diagnosed with Depression (which was a mental condition characterized
by depressed mood, loss of pleasure, or interest in life) and an anxiety disorder (which was a mental health
condition marked by heightened responses of worry to certain situations and stimuli).
Record review of Resident #152's admission MDS assessment, dated 10/15/2024, reflected the resident
had not yet been assessed for a BIMS Score. Section F. Preferences for Customary Routines and Activities
had not been completed.
Record review of Resident #152's Activity Assessment, located on the Assessment Page in PCC reflected
Resident #152's Activity Interview was opened, but was unedited, on 10/15/2024. The Activity Assessment
was blank.
Record review of Resident #152 CCP, with an admission date of 10/9/2024, did not reveal a care area
section for Activities.
Interview and observation on 10/15/24 at 4:39 PM with Resident #152 revealed she had not been informed
about activities at the facility. She did not know there were scheduled activities and she had not received an
activity calendar. She was disappointed there were no activities to do and even more so when she learned
the facility was supposed to have provided them. She did not get reminders from staff since her arrival.
Observation of her room did not reveal an activity calendar.
Observations on 10/16/24 at 11:00 AM of the facility entrance, the facility hallways, and the facility
information board did not display a resident activity schedule.
Interview and Record review on 10/16/24 at 11:48 AM with the AD revealed she had been the AD at the
facility for the last 8 months. She did not have any certificate, nor had she attended any formal training, for
the position. The AD, stated new residents were supposed to have been assessed for activities in Section F
of the MDS. The AD stated she either looked at the Assessment Page in PCC for the dates the
assessments were due or the MDS Nurse, MDSN, would tell her. There were no Activity Calendars posted
on the walls, or on any information boards, in the facility. Record review of the facility's welcome packet
revealed 10 pages of facility information but no information about activities. The AD acknowledged there
was no information about activities in the welcome packet; she had not asked to be included in the facility's
welcome packet. The AD stated she had not provided residents with a copy of the activity calendar. The
activity (crafting) planned for Monday, 10/14/2024 at 2:30 PM in the dining room, was canceled due to
staffing shortages; the activity (painting) planned for Tuesday, 10/15/2024 at 10:30 AM in the dining room,
was canceled due to a resident council meeting 4 hours later that same day. The AD stated activities for
residents were important because activities got the residents out of their rooms, promoted socialization,
helped fine motor skills, and kept them active. Without activities, the residents may have become isolated,
or depressed, and would have missed opportunities for work on their fine motor skills. A safeguard in place,
to ensure residents were informed of activities, was a daily room visit. Staff would tell the resident about
activities and wrote those names down, to know who to collect at the scheduled time. The lists were not
kept on file. The AD stated the facility had not been meeting the standards of the facility's Activity Policy.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 2:37 PM with GM revealed the current AD was trained and supervised by the SAD,
who was over multiple facilities in the region. The AD had not had a great deal of experience with activities,
but the facility thought she was a good fit, since residents liked her. She had not

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to store, prepare, and distribute
food in accordance with professional standards for the facility's only kitchen reviewed for food service
safety.
1. The facility failed to properly seal, label, and date foods stored in the kitchen's freezer, refrigerator ,
activity room snack bar, and walk-in cooler.
2. The facility failed to clean and sanitize the kitchen's only industrial can opener.
3. The HC failed to wear effective hair restraint while preparing food.
This failure could have placed residents at risk of ingesting food borne pathogens, ingesting adulterated
foods, and becoming ill.
Findings Included:
Record review and observation on 10/14/2024 at 9:05 AM of the facility's only kitchen revealed a sign on
the small refrigerator/freezer (side by side) door, which reflected the correct way to fill out a food label. The
sign indicated:1. Fill in the item name; 2. Current date/ Prep date: 3. Use by date was 6 days after prep
date; 4. Your initials. Observations in the small freezer revealed an opened, yet re-sealed with a banana clip,
bag of frozen tater tots without a label to signify date opened, or a use by date; a bag of frozen spicy black
bean hamburger patties in an unsealed bag, without a label to signify date opened, or a use by date; a 1.5
foot by 2.5 foot metal sheet pan with 6 small plastic cups of a white liquid, wrapped in plastic wrap, and 43
small 2 ounce covered plastic cups of colorful mixed shapes of food, without a label to signify date
prepared, or a use by date; a 2 quart square plastic container with a green lid, containing a red substance,
without a label to signify date opened, or a use by date.
Record review and observation on 10/14/2024 at 9:14 AM of the facility's walk-in cooler revealed a sign on
the walk-in's door, which reflected the correct way to fill out a food label. The sign indicated:1. Fill in the item
name; 2. Current date/ Prep date: 3. Use by date was 6 days after prep date; 4. Your initials. Observations in
the walk-in cooler revealed a clear plastic medium sized container, with no lid, containing an assortment of
items; 1 bottle of BBQ sauce; 1 box of bread sticks, 1 opened jar of banana peppers (dated 10/3/2024,) and
3 small plastic containers of a cubed cheese like item; none of the individual items in the clear plastic
medium sized container, minus the jar of banana peppers, possessed a label to signify date opened, or a
use by date; furthermore, the 1 opened jar of banana peppers (dated 10/3/2024,) was supposed to have
been used by 10/9/2024. On a separate shelf, in the facility's walk-in cooler, there was an opened box of
cooked chicken breasts (meaning unsealed and open to the air) without a label to signify date opened, or a
use by date. On a separate shelf, there was an opened plastic bag (meaning unsealed and open to the air)
of parmesan cheese (dated 10/8/2024); a 3 inch by 3 inch wide and 8 inch long rectangular slab of a
cheese like substance, which was partially sealed (meaning unsealed and open to the air) without label to
signify date opened, or a use by date.

where the 1.5 inch by 1.5-inch mounting bracket was attached to the table, had a black sticky substance in
the cracks and crevices. The 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch by 10-inch-long metal shaft, which fit into the 1.5 inch by
1.5-inch mounting bracket had the same black sticky substance. On the top end of the 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch
by 10-inch-long metal shaft, was a 6-inch-long handle mechanism. The 6-inch-long handle mechanism
rotated a metal gear (like the size and shape of a hockey puck,) which in turn rotated a metal can. On the
underside of the 6-inch-long handle mechanism, was a 1-inch piece of sharp metal, which ended at a point,
which pierced the top of the can. Inside the metal gear, and on the 1-inch piece of sharp metal, was the
same black sticky substance. Interview with the dishwasher, KA, revealed he did not remember the last
time the industrial can opener was washed.
Observations on 10/15/24 at 12:01 PM in the facility's only kitchen revealed HC preparing food. He was
observed with effective hair restraint over his head, lower mouth, and neck, but he did not have any
effective hair restraint covering his mustache.
Observation on 10/15/2024 at 1:54 PM in the activity bar snack refrigerator, located on the side wall of the
main dining room, revealed two bottles of ketchup and two bottles of yellow mustard. All 4 bottles were
without a label to signify date opened, or a use by date.
Observations on 10/16/24 at 1:07 PM in the facility's only kitchen revealed the HC without effective hair
restraint. He was observed with effective hair restraint over his head, lower mouth, and neck, but he did not
have any effective hair restraint covering his mustache.
Interview and observation on 10/16/24 at 1:10 PM with the HC revealed the label and dating system, used
by the kitchen staff, was designed to keep food from being held for too long and becoming unsafe to eat.
The dating system indicated when the food was opened, or prepared, and when the fold was no longer to
be used (or thrown away) if not used by the 6th day. Foods were supposed to be sealed tight, like in a bag
or a container, to have protected them from exposure to the frigid air in the refrigerator, freezer, and walk-in
cooler. Foods not properly sealed, and exposed to the air, could have begun to grow mold, grow bacteria, or
become stale. If a resident ingested food that was moldy, or with bacteria, the resident was exposed to food
borne pathogens. A safeguard in place to ensure food was properly sealed, labeled, and dated was a
weekly walk through of the kitchen to spot check items for labels and safe storage. Observation of HC
revealed he had effective hair restraint over his head, lower mouth, and neck, but he did not have any
effective hair restraint covering his mustache. He stated hair restraints were provided to staff and were
required to cover both the hair on the head and on the face. Each entrance to the kitchen had a small
plastic box, attached the door frame, with disposable hair restraints. No one was allowed to enter the
kitchen without their hair restraint. The HC stated it was hard to breathe at times, so he lowered the cloth
fabric from his mouth and mustache. He was then observed raising the fabric covering his neck and lower
mouth over his lips and to cover his mustache. He stated hair restraints were utilized to keep hair out of
resident's food. The HC, stated He had not been corrected about his mustache hair restraint, from the KM.
Having heard the verbal description of the facility's only industrial can opener, he acknowledged the
industrial can opener could have been contaminated with food borne pathogens. At times, the facility
served fruit from a can, which had been opened with the industrial can opener. Canned fruit did not get
heated to 165 degrees for 15 seconds, which was the temperature to kill food borne pathogens. The
canned fruit, or any other food items opened with the industrial can opener (not heated to 165 degrees for
15 seconds) could have been contaminated with a food borne pathogens. A resident who ingested food
borne pathogens could have become sick. The effects of food borne pathogens could have caused a
resident to have had an upset stomach, diarrhea, and unintended weight loss. The kitchen did not have a
posted cleaning schedule for kitchen areas, or equipment. No tasks were assigned, cleaning was a

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview and record review on 10/16/24 at 3:15 PM with the KM revealed the policy of the facility's only
kitchen was to follow time/temperature guidelines and make sure the food served to the residents was
fresh, appealing, and met dietary requirements. She expected staff to securely wrap, or use a clean storage
container, with the label system described in record review, 10/14/2024 at 9:05 AM. Record review of a
cleaning schedule (undated,) provide by the KM during interview, instructed staff to wash the can openers,
which meant the industrial can opener. The cleaning schedule had been posted on the wall in the kitchen,
but its vertical edges curled inwards on both sides covering the instructions for cleaning. Kitchen staff were
required to wear effective hair restraint prior to having entered to the kitchen. Effective hair restraint meant
having covered hair on the head and facial hair, if applicable. The KM stated the hair restraint equipment,
provided by the facility, was of sufficient design to cover hair, beards, and mustaches. Staff wore hair
restraints, so the food did not get contaminated; foods not stored in appropriate time and temperature
guidelines were at higher risk for the growth of food-borne pathogens. Residents exposed to contaminated
food, or food-borne pathogens, were at risk of diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and unintended weight
loss.
Residents Affected - Many
Interview on 10/16/24 at 3:47 PM with LVN P revealed a food-borne pathogen was a bacterium that grew
on, and in, food that was not cooked, handled, or stored properly. Residents exposed to food borne
pathogens were at risk to have experienced diarrhea, nausea, food poisoning, vomiting, dehydration, and
unintended weight loss.
Interview on 10/16/24 at 4:04 PM with the GM revealed she expected her kitchen staff to follow proper
sanitization and proper food handling techniques. Kitchen staff was trained per policy. The failure for the
kitchen staff to follow policy fell upon training and education.
Record review of the facility's Infection Prevention & Control for Food Service Policy, dated 2022, revealed
the facility stored, prepared, and distributed food in a sanitary manner to prevent food borne illness, cross
contamination, and to assure infection prevention and control. Staff were instructed to wear effective hair
restraint and a beard guard, if needed. Counters, equipment, and utensils were supposed to be washed,
and rinsed, after each use, with a detergent solution. Food was supposed to be labeled, with a use by date.
Record review of the Food and Drugs Administration 2022 Food Code, 1/18/2023 Edition, reflected
guidance for Hair Restraints. Section 2-402 Hair Restraints indicated food employees were supposed to
wear hair restraints, such as hats, hair coverings, nets, beard restraints, and clothing that covered body
hair; Designed, and worn, to effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed food.
Record review of the Food and Drugs Administration 2022 Food Code, 1/18/2023 Edition, reflected
guidance for Reduced Oxygen Packaging. Annex 6, Food Processing Criteria indicated the shelf life of
foods was based on storage temperature for a certain time and other factors of the food. Each package of
food was supposed to display a [use-by date.]
Record review of the Food and Drugs Administration 2022 Food Code, 1/18/2023 Edition, reflected
guidance for Can Openers. Section 4-204.19 indicated the cutting, or piercing, surfaces of a can opener
could directly contact food as the container was opened. These surfaces must be protected from
contamination.
Record review of the HC's food handler's card revealed it was current and was dated to expire on

the resident's smoking supplies. She said when residents still do not comply the facility will talk to the
resident and family members and offer for staff to take resident off property to smoke. She stated she did
