The resident has the right to be free from
abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident
property, and exploitation as defined in this
subpart. This includes but is not limited to
freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary
seclusion and any physical or chemical
restraint not required to treat the resident's
medical symptoms.
§483.12(a) The facility must§483.12(a)(1) Not use verbal, mental, sexual,
or physical abuse, corporal punishment, or
involuntary seclusion;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure its residents
have the right to be free from neglect. Neglect,
as defined at §483.5, means "the failure of the
facility, its employees or service providers to
provide goods and services to a resident that
are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain,
mental anguish or emotional distress." The
facility failed to provide adequate staffing to
meet the residents' needs for six of 28 sampled
residents (Residents 3, 9. 29, 12, 28, and 34).
This deficient practice resulted in an
environment that promoted neglect of
residents' care and services leading to
psychosocial harm for one resident (Resident
29) and physical harm to other residents
(Residents 12, 28, and 34).
1. Resident 29 had tooth and right flank (the
side section between the lowest rib and the hip)
pain and possibly a urinary tract infection (UTI),
for which she did not receive treatment.
Resident 29 was not provided with a needed
wheelchair causing her to stop attending group
activities and socialize. Resident 29 was not

Resident 29 suffered unnecessary pain and
became depressed and isolated.
2. Resident 12, who was dependent on staff
with eating, did not receive the assistance
needed with eating his meals. Resident 12's
responsible party, Family Member 2 (FM 2),
stated Resident 12 was usually assisted for a
short portion of his meals but not for the entire
meal. As a result, the resident suffered a slow
progressive unplanned significant weight loss
in four months and was dehydrated requiring
transfer to a General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH). Resident 12 was not provided with
Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) program
(assist residents in performing range of motion
exercises, waking, eating, and special
positioning techniques to maintain the
residents' mobility and functions). RNAs 4 and
11 stated they were unable to perform RNA
exercises to the residents as ordered by their
physicians because they were usually short of
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and the
RNAs had to cover for the absent CNAs.
3. Resident 34, was not provided assistance
with eating and drinking resulting in weight loss
and dehydration and required hospitalization.
4. Resident 28 was not provided necessary
incontinent care and repositioning. As a result,
Resident 28 developed a Stage II (partial
thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis,
or both and presents clinically as an abrasion,
blister, or shallow crater) pressure sore (injury
to the skin and underlying tissues resulting
from prolonged pressure on the skin) on his

A review of the Resident Council Meeting
minutes, dated December 29, 2017 indicated
Resident 25 expressed a concern that the
facility was understaffed. The response was,
the facility staffed appropriately per census.
On January 10, 2018 at 5:01 a.m., it was noted
that during the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift, there
were two nursing staff in the facility, [one
licensed vocational nurse (LVN) and one CNA]
on duty to provide care to all residents in the
facility.
A review of the Resident Census and Condition
of Residents Form (CMS - 672) provided by the
facility on January 9, 2018, indicated the
census was 38 residents and the conditions of
the residents included:
- Seven residents were bedfast (confined to
bed);
- 23 residents were in a chair all or most of the
time;
- Five residents walked with assistance or an
assistive device; and
- Six residents were incontinent of bowel and
bladder.
These deficient practices had the potential to
affect all 38 residents in the facility.
An Immediate Jeopardy was declared on
January 10, 2018 at 5:14 p.m. in the presence
of the Administrator and Director of Nursing
(DON). The Administrator and the DON were
informed of the Immediate Jeopardy related to
neglect due to insufficient number of staff,
resulting in lack of resident care such as:
diminished assistance with feeding, lack of
provision of sufficient fluids, lack of timely
incontinent care, lack of intervention for tooth
pain and lack of provision of assistive devices
(wheelchair and eyeglasses) for out of bed
activities.

offering $50 to employees who are not late and
do not call off within a month and provide
incentives to employees who refer newly hired
staff.
3. In-servicing staff regarding call-offs, advising
employees to preferably call within four hours
prior to starting their shift.

staff did not tell her when she would receive the
wheelchair. Resident 29 indicated she had a
wheelchair when she first arrived at the facility
and while parked outside her room, it
disappeared and since then Resident 29 has
not had a wheelchair. Resident 29 stated when
she asked the nurses to help her get a
wheelchair, it takes a long time, resulting in her
getting to activities late. Resident 29 stated she
was told (did not specify who) not to come to
bingo late so she stopped going.
On January 10, 2018 at 9:33 a.m., during an
interview, the Social Services Designee (SSD)
stated she was not aware why Resident 29 was
not provided with a wheelchair while her
customized wheelchair was ordered. The SSD
explained a Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
company measured Resident 29 for a
customized chair and the DME company had
been waiting for physician approval. The SSD
stated she was unaware of the outcome.
On January 10, 2018 at 11:10 a.m., during an
interview, Resident 29 stated, "It really hurt me
when they took my wheelchair. It makes me
depressed. It makes me low because I cannot
go out of my room. When I had my wheelchair,
I used to go out with my husband and he will
take me around the block. I would go to
activities and visit other residents, but I don't do
that anymore".
A review of the Nursing Notes dated October
29, 2017, indicated Resident 29 used to attend
activities and play bingo.

interview, the Activity Designee (AD) stated she
was not aware that reason for Resident 29's
self-isolation could be related to the lack of a
wheelchair. The AD stated she visits the
resident weekly as part of the care plan.
A review of the Social Services Assessment

aware Resident 29 had gained a lot of weight
and could not fit into the facility's provided
wheelchairs.
On January 12, 2018 at 12:30 p.m., during an
interview, the DME company owner stated they
were waiting for Resident 29's physician's
approval.
A review of a Physical Therapy Evaluation form
dated December 22, 2017, indicated Resident
29 was referred for physical therapy due to
recent decline in all safe mobility with
weakness, fatigue, and risk for further decline.
The physical therapist documented Resident
29 required a tilt in space wheelchair (gives the
user the ability to adjust the orientation of their
wheelchair by allowing for the redistribution of
pressure from one area to another by tilting the
seating area) for mobility.
On January 12, 2018, at 1:37 p.m., during a
telephone interview, Resident 29's attending
physician (MD 1) stated she was not informed
of a needed approval for a wheelchair and the
DME did not send her an approval request.

Evaluator inquired, on January 10, 2018,
Dental Exam reports were faxed by the dental
office. A review of the reports indicated
Resident 29 was evaluated on October 13 and
November 8, 2017. On November 8, 2017, the
dentist indicated Resident 29 was advised to

Further review of the nursing notes indicated
there was no documentation Resident 29's
physician was informed of the urine test result.
After the Evaluator inquired, a repeat urinalysis
test was ordered. The urine test result dated
January 20, 2018, indicated the presence of
bacteria in Resident 29's urine. Resident 29
was prescribed antibiotics for UTI on January
22, 2018, eleven days after the resident initially
complained of right flank pain.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure titled "Prevention of Urinary Tract
Infection: Indwelling Urinary Catheters",
indicated urine collection bags will be emptied
prior to the ends of each shift maintaining the
closed system and using a separate collecting
container for each resident. The amount of
output will be reported to the charge nurse and
recorded in the medical record per facility
policy. Fluid will be offered and encouraged to
maintain proper hydration. Intake and output
records will be maintained each shift on a daily
basis for all residents with indwelling catheters.

residents require measurement and
documentation of I&O every shift including a 24
hour total and weekly evaluation on the
following that included all residents with
indwelling catheters for a minimum of the first
30 days, all residents with specific physician's
orders for measurement of I&O, all residents at
high risk for dehydration as determined by the
Director of Nursing Services (or designee), and
all residents on intravenous therapy on
hydration during the course of treatment.
Nursing assistant will total the amount of fluid
consumed with each meal before removing the
meal tray. Also, record nourishments and fluids
taken between meals and report. The licensed
nurse will total I.V. and tube feedings on the
I&O form. Measure the urine and record
amount on the I&O form. If the resident has a
collection bag the nursing assistant will empty
bag at end of shift and write total amount on
the I&O form. Prior to the shift's end, the I&O
totals from the worksheets are reported to the
licensed nurse and recorded on the permanent
I&O record. I&O worksheet will be replaced
after all three shifts have used it for a 24-hour
period of time. The shift totals are recorded on
the 24-hour I&O record in the resident's chart
by the night shift. The I&O is to be evaluated
on the weekly evaluation form in the resident's
charts to determine adequacy. If not adequate,
or if excessive for physical condition of the
resident, the physician is to be notified and
corrective action needs to be taken. However,
this was not implemented.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to investigate injuries
of unknown origin in a timely manner for one of
28 sampled residents (Resident 15). Resident
15 had a bruise (skin discoloration) to the right
upper arm and on the right side below the axilla
(arm pit). The facility failed to asses and
document measurement and description of the
bruises, failed to notify the physician and
Resident 15's responsible party. This deficient
practice had the potential for undetected
abuse.
Findings:
On January 10, 2018 at 3 p.m., during a family
interview, Family Member 4 (FM 4) reported a
resident (Resident 15) had a bruise on her arm
and asked the Evaluator to investigate.
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on
October 10, 2014 and readmitted on October
11, 2016, with diagnoses including Alzheimer's
disease (progressive mental deterioration due
to generalized degeneration of the brain),
transient ischemic attack (TIA - neurological
event with the signs and symptoms of a stroke
due to a temporary lack of adequate blood and
oxygen to the brain), dementia (significant loss
of intellectual abilities, such as memory
capacity, that is severe enough to interfere with
social or occupational functioning). Resident 15
was on hospice care (A type of care and
philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation
of a chronically ill, terminally ill or seriously ill
patient's pain and symptoms, and attending to
their emotional and spiritual needs).

Resident 15 was severely impaired in cognition
(process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience,
and the senses) and was totally dependent on
staff for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, eating,
and toileting.
A review of the Physician Order dated October
11, 2016, indicated Aspirin 81 milligrams (mg)
by mouth daily for stroke history.
On January 10, 2018 at 6:31 p.m., during an
observation of Resident 15 with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), black bruises were
noted on Resident 15's right upper arm and on
the right flank below the axilla (arm pit). LVN 1
stated that the bruises were discovered on
January 9, 2018 approximately 11:30 a.m. or
12 p.m. by Resident 15's hospice visiting
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). LVN 1
stated Resident 15's physician was notified the
morning of January 10, 2018. LVN 1 was
unable to explain the reason the attending
physician was not made aware the same day
the bruises were identified.
Further record review with LVN 1 indicated the
bruises were not documented and there were
no measurements and a description of the
bruises. There was no documented evidence
Resident 15's responsible party was notified.
There was no documented evidence an
investigation was conducted to find out the
origin of the bruises. LVN 1 stated the
Administrator instructed her to contact Resident
15's responsible party and complete an incident
report but she was so busy and was unable to
start the incident report. LVN 1 proceeded to
measure the right arm bruise which was 4
inches by 5 inches.

A review of the Situation, Background,
Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR technique to facilitate prompt and appropriate
communication among health care staff), dated
January 10, 2018, timed at 11: 25 p.m.,
indicated Resident 15 was found with skin
discoloration on her upper right arm and right
side near right breast with no bleeding and no
skin tear noted at this time. There was no
indication of the color, size, or shape of the
discoloration.
On January 12, 2018 at 2 p.m., during a
telephone interview, Resident 15's Physician
indicated she examined Resident 15's bruises
the prior night (January 11, 2018) and staff
could have picked the resident up
inappropriately and that could have been a
reason for the bruising. Resident 15's
Physician stated she was discontinuing the
order for Aspirin as that can cause
bleeding/bruising.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure titled, "Investigating Unexplained
Injuries," indicated should a resident be
observed with unexplained injuries (including
bruises, abrasions, and injuries of an unknown
source), the nurse supervisor on duty must
complete an accident/incident form and record
such information into the resident's clinical
record. A listing of all personnel, including
consultants, contract employees, visitors,
family members, etch who have had contact
with the resident during the past 48 hours will
be compiled and provided to the person
conducting the investigation.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure residents
who are not able to carry out activities of daily
living (ADLs) received the necessary services
to maintain good nutrition, grooming and
personal hygiene for six of 28 sampled
residents (Residents 29,12, 34, 28, 9, and 3).
Residents 29, 12, 34, 28, 9, and 3 were not
assisted with eating, personal hygiene, and
mobility due to insufficient Certified Nursing
Assistants (CNAs).
This deficient practice resulted in weight loss
for Residents 12 and 34, pressure ulcer for
Resident 28, lack of mobility for Residents 29
and 3, and lack incontinent care for Residents
12, 34, 28, 9, and 3.
On January 10, 2018 at 5:01 p.m., an
immediate jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the
provider's non-compliance with one or more
requirements of participation has caused, or is
likely to cause, serious injury, harm,
impairment, or death to a resident) was called
under F725 cross refer to F600, F677, F686,
688, and F692 in the presence of the facility
Administrator and Director of Nursing.
An acceptable plan of action was re-submitted
to the survey team on January 11, 2018 at
11:25 a.m., and validated through observation
interview and record reviewed to verify facility
compliance. The immediate jeopardy was
abated on January 12, 2018 at 11:50 a.m.,
when the facility was able to demonstrate
knowledge of adequate staffing to ensure
necessary care and services are provided to
each residents to maintain good nutrition,
grooming and personal hygiene.

muscle weakness, difficulty walking, heart
failure, chronic kidney failure, depression (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling
of sadness and loss of interest), glaucoma
(damage to the optic nerve leads to
progressive, irreversible vision loss), and
diabetes (high blood sugar levels over a

A review of the most recent Quarterly dated
December 6, 2017, indicated Resident 29 was
alert and oriented, able to make decisions
independently, and able to communicate her
needs.
During the initial tour of the facility on January
8, 2018 at 11:31 a.m., Resident 29 stated, "I
would like to be mobile." The resident stated
she had been measured for a wheelchair
sometime in, "October or so" but staff did not
tell her when she would receive the wheelchair.
Resident 29 indicated she had a wheelchair
when she first arrived at the facility and while
parked outside her room, it disappeared and
since then Resident 29 has not had a
wheelchair. Resident 29 stated when she
asked the nurses to help her get a wheelchair,
it takes a long time, resulting in her getting to
activities late. Resident 29 stated she was told
(did not specify who) not to come to bingo late
so she stopped going.

Resident 29. The SSD was unable to explain
the lack of follow up and assistance in making
arrangements for Resident 29 to obtain
eyeglasses.
A review of the Occupational Therapy
Assessment dated November 17, 2017,
indicated Resident 29 needed cueing to
retrieve items on the floor due to poor vision.
Further record review indicated there was no
plan of care developed for Resident 29's lack of
eyeglasses since September 2017. The
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - a group of health
care professionals from diverse fields who work
in a coordinated fashion toward a common goal
for the resident) did not address Resident 29's
visual problem and lack of insurance coverage
for the eyeglasses and make arrangements to
assist Resident 29 in obtaining the needed

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure its residents
receives care consistent with professional
standards of practice, to prevent pressure
ulcers from developing for one of 28 sampled
residents (Resident 28). Resident 28 was not
repositioned and kept clean and dry as per plan
of care and assessment due to lack of Certified
Nursing Assistants (CNAs). This deficient
practice resulted in Resident 28 developing a
Stage II (partial thickness skin loss involving
epidermis, dermis, or both and presents
clinically as an abrasion, blister, or shallow
crater) pressure ulcer (injury to the skin and
underlying tissues resulting from prolonged
pressure on the skin).
On January 10, 2018 at 5:01 p.m., an
immediate jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the
provider's non-compliance with one or more
requirements of participation has caused, or is
likely to cause, serious injury, harm,
impairment, or death to a resident) was called
under F725 cross refer to F600, F677, F688,
and F692 in the presence of the facility
Administrator and Director of Nursing.
An acceptable plan of action was re-submitted
to the survey team on January 11, 2018 at
11:25 a.m., and validated through observation
interview and record reviewed to verify facility
compliance. The immediate jeopardy was
abated on January 12, 2018 at 11:50 a.m.,
when the facility was able to demonstrate
knowledge of adequate staffing to ensure
necessary care and services are provided to
each residents to prevent development of
pressure ulcers.

was observed lying on his back in his bed. At
the time of the observation, during an interview,
Resident 28 stated he had blisters on his
bottom that were painful at times.
A review of the Admission Record indicated
Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on
October 4, 2006 and readmitted on May 12,
2017, with diagnoses including stroke, muscle
weakness, and diabetes mellitus (high blood
sugar).
A review of the Care Plan developed for
Resident 28's Risk for Pressure Ulcers dated
May 12, 2017, included in the interventions
turning and repositioning Resident 28, at least
every two hours, when in bed or in wheelchair
and inspecting Resident 28's skin daily during
routine activities of daily living (ADLs).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated September 6, 2017, indicated
Resident 28 had no memory problems, needed
extensive assistance with bed mobility,
transfers, and dressing, was totally incontinent
of bladder and bowel functions, and had no
skin problems.
A review of the Braden Scale (a scale to
assess the risk of developing a pressure ulcer)
dated June 7, September 6, and December 5,
2017, indicated a total score of 14 (moderate
risk for developing a pressure sore).
On January 9, 2018, a review of the clinical
record disclosed no documentation of Resident

fluids]. Physician 1 stated Resident 28 was
sitting in his wet diaper for too long before
being changed. Physician 1 stated the broken
skin on the right buttock was reported to her on
January 11, 2018 and she examined the skin.
Physician 1 stated the condition of the skin
appeared to be older than one day.
On January 12, 2018 at 3 p.m., during an
observation with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 28 was laying on his back. Resident
28 used the bed side rail to turn himself to the
left side so the right buttock was exposed.

ulcer was observed. There was broken skin
measuring 2 centimeters (cm) in length by 1.5
cm in width with no depth, with a red base. The
surrounding skin measured 10 cm by 4 cm of
pink unbroken skin. Resident 28 was wet and
was changed by CNA 2. Resident 28 stated he
was last changed in the morning.
During an interview with the DON on January
12, 2018 at 4 p.m., the DON asked the
Evaluator for the measurements taken during
the pressure sore observation because she did
not document the measurements when the
pressure sore was identified earlier in the day.

On January 12, 2018 at 12:30 p.m., during an
interview, the DME Company owner stated
they were waiting for Resident 29's physician's
approval.
A review of a Physical Therapy Evaluation form
dated December 22, 2017, indicated Resident
29 was referred for physical therapy due to
recent decline in all safe mobility with
weakness, fatigue, and risk for further decline.
The physical therapist documented Resident
29 required a tilt in space wheelchair (gives the
user the ability to adjust the orientation of their
wheelchair by allowing for the redistribution of
pressure from one area to another by tilting the
seating area) for mobility.
On January 12, 2018, at 1:37 p.m., during a
telephone interview, Resident 29's attending
physician (MD 1) stated she was not informed
of a needed approval for a wheelchair and the
DME did not send her an approval request.
A review of the Activity Attendance Record for
October 2017, indicated Resident 29 attended
bingo October 2, 9, 13, 22, 25, 27 and 29. The
Activity Attendance Record for November 2017
indicated no participation in group or room
activities. The Activity Attendance Record for
January 2018, was blank.
Further record review indicated there was no
plan of care developed for Resident 29's lack of
mobility device since October 2017. The
interdisciplinary team (IDT- group of
professional staff from different disciplines) did
not address Resident 29's mobility problems

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
dated January 3, 2018, indicated the resident's
cognitive patterns were moderately impaired,
needed extensive assistance from staff
members for bed mobility, dressing, and
personal hygiene, needed total dependence
from staff members for transfer, locomotion on
unit and off unit, toilet use, and bathing. The
resident had an impairment on both sides of
upper and lower extremities. The resident was
always incontinent for bowel and bladder.
Under Special Treatments, Procedures, and
Programs (Restorative Nursing Programs),
Resident 13 had five days of passive range of
motion (ROM).
The Interdisciplinary Progress Notes dated
September 28, 2017, indicated Resident 13's
RP (responsible party) brought up his concern
about the resident, apparently resident was not
getting enough help from the staff because he
came into occasions were resident's
nourishment or drinks were just left sitting on
the table without even straws. The Social
Service Director (SSD) relayed the concern to
the charge nurses and DON (Director of
Nursing), and was told that resident would
normally tell them to leave it there for later.
SSD told the RP that he stated the resident did
not usually ask for help, so better yet to put the
straw in for resident or open the can
automatically. SSD told the staff about this.
On January 12, 2018, at 2 p.m., during an

A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled, "Meals-Feeding the Resident" dated
August 2009, indicated the resident is fed to
ensure assistance is provided with eating, if
needed. Do not leave the resident unless it is
an emergency. Continue feeding until the
resident has had enough food or until the meal
is finished. Do not serve the meal until you are
ready to feed the resident. Tell the resident that
you are going to feed him or her a meal. If you
are going to be seated during the feeding
process, position a chair where it will be
convenient for you and the resident. If the
resident wishes to eat later, or cannot eat now,
check with the charge nurse about serving the
resident at a later time. Alternate foods and
liquids. Encourage the resident to eat all the
meal, but do not force him or her to eat. Place
the call light within the resident's reach.
Percentage of diet consumed is recorded on
the Daily Diet Percentage sheet and the CNA
notes. Report any deviation in appetite to the

transfer included weight loss, dehydration,
increased BUN (blood urea, nitrogen), and poor
appetite.
A review of the GACH report from the
Emergency Department (ED) dated January
11, 2018, indicated Resident 34 was diagnosed
with UTI, dehydration, and hypokalemia (a low
level of potassium in blood). The plan was to
admit the resident to medical service.
The facility's policy and procedure titled, "Intake
and Output" dated August 2005, indicated the
purpose of intake and output (I&O) records is to
maintain an accurate record of the resident's
fluid balance, suggest various diagnosed and
influence the physician's choice of therapies.
I&O records are also significant in monitoring
residents with GT, drainage collection devices
or those receiving IV infusions. The following
residents require measurement and
documentation of I&O every shift including a 24
hour total and weekly evaluation on the
following that included all residents with
indwelling catheters for a minimum of the first
30 days, all residents with specific physician's
orders for measurement of I&O, all residents at
high risk for dehydration as determined by the
Director of Nursing Services (or designee), and
all residents on intravenous therapy on
hydration during the course of treatment.
Nursing assistant will total the amount of fluid
consumed with each meal before removing the
meal tray. Also, record nourishments and fluids
taken between meals and report. The licensed
nurse will total I.V. and tube feedings on the
I&O form. Measure the urine and record
amount on the I&O form. If the resident has a
collection bag the nursing assistant will empty
bag at end of shift and write total amount on
the I&O form. Prior to the shift's end, the I&O
totals from the worksheets are reported to the

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure pain
management is provided for one of 28 sampled
residents (Resident 29). Resident 29 had
toothache and the pain was not managed. This
deficient practice resulted on Resident 29
suffering unnecessary pain.

Resident 29 was admitted to the facility on
August 31, 2017 and re-admitted on November
2, 2017, with diagnoses including generalized
muscle weakness, difficulty walking, heart
failure, chronic kidney failure, depression (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling
of sadness and loss of interest), and diabetes
(high blood sugar levels over a prolonged
period).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS standardized assessment and care screening
tool) dated December 6, 2017, indicated
Resident 29 was alert and oriented, able to
make decisions independently, and able to
communicate her needs.

the "failure to provide goods and services
necessary to avoid physical harm, mental
anguish, or mental illness" (42 Code of Federal
Regulation C.F. R. §488.301).
1. Resident 29 had tooth pain and possible

During an interview with CNA 3, she stated she
was the only CNA working on the 11 p.m. to 7
a.m. shift that she had just completed. CNA 3
stated there was another date in the month of
December 2017, that she worked by herself
CNA 3 stated for at least six months she has
only worked with 1 CNA or sometimes herself
which includes weekends as well as weekdays.
CNA 3 stated that working with another CNA
she still has 19 - 20 residents to provide care
for and that "it's too much." CNA 3 stated it was
difficult to get help during the times it is only
her and the LVN working on the 11 p.m. to 7
a.m. shift when the LVN is passing medications
during the 9 p.m. medication pass times and 6
a.m. medication pass times.
CNA 3 was questioned how it was providing
care when she worked with 2 other CNAs and
she smiled and said that is the best. CNA 3
stated in May 2017 and June of 2017, she
worked with two other CNAs but after that,
many times it was only herself and another
CNA or only herself and the LVN.
On January 10, 2018, at 7:22 p.m., during an

stated he brought butternut squash and jello to
Resident 34 which she liked. "She usually likes
it. Tonight, she did not like anything except
water. I am here almost everyday. The biggest
problem is there is not enough nurses. They
lack nurses especially on the weekends which
is more noticeable. I slept and stayed here so
many times to help her and give her needs.
When I called for the call light, it took about an
hour for them to come. They told me that they
cannot attend to her because they are backed
up with their other residents. So I sat there for
an hour or so. Weekends seems to be the
worst. Many people complained about it. The

nurses here do their best but there is
insufficient amount of nurses. There were
numerous times that she wants water but
nobody can give it to her often because they
are busy. When the food comes, they are all
busy. So, if there is an emergency, nobody
attends the other residents. I used to buy the
Ensure. They never gave it to her. If they have
given it, maybe it is just a one time shot thing.
No, but I buy it myself. Tonight, the Dietary
Supervisor said that he brought Ensure for her.
I kept asking for Ensure before but the staff
gave me different reasons and have not
provided her the Ensure, so I just bought it for
her. In the last three months, I have not seen
my wife been up from the bed or out of bed. In
the last six months, she was not exercised by
the staff. I believe my wife needs more and
more care now. He also stated that there were
many nights he stayed up and slept beside his
wife just to attend to her needs".
During an interview with the Administrator
(ADM) on January 10, 2018 at 9:17 a.m., she
stated for the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift, one
licensed vocational nurse (LVN) and two CNAs.
The ADM stated at night time there is at least
two CNAs on duty and that is sufficient staffing
because the residents were custodial, and the
residents, during that shift did not receive that
many medications. The ADM stated the 11
p.m. to 7 a.m. LVN assists the CNAs with their
duties if they need assistance.

f. According to the admission record, Resident
13 was originally admitted on July 1, 2015 and
was readmitted on September 23, 2017, with
diagnoses that included generalized muscle
weakness, unspecified protein-calorie
malnutrition, dysphagia (difficulty of
swallowing), and difficulty in walking.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
dated January 3, 2018, indicated the resident's
cognitive patterns were moderately impaired,
needed extensive assistance from staff
members for bed mobility, dressing, and
personal hygiene, needed total dependence
from staff members for transfer, locomotion on
unit and off unit, toilet use, and bathing. The
resident had an impairment on both sides of
upper and lower extremities. The resident was
always incontinent for bowel and bladder.
Under Special Treatments, Procedures, and
Programs (Restorative Nursing Programs),
Resident 13 had five days of passive range of
motion (ROM).
The Interdisciplinary Progress Notes dated
September 28, 2017, indicated Resident 13's
RP (responsible party) brought up his concern
about the resident, apparently resident was not
getting enough help from the staff because he
came into occasions were resident's
nourishment or drinks were just left sitting on
the table without even straws. The Social
Service Director (SSD) relayed the concern to
the charge nurses and DON (Director of
Nursing), and was told that resident would
normally tell them to leave it there for later.
SSD told the RP that he stated the resident did
not usually ask for help, so better yet to put the
straw in for resident or open the can
automatically. SSD told the staff about this.

she had toothache and when she asked
nursing staff for pain medication, she would be
told she had one already.
A review of the Physician's Order dated

not administered as ordered.
On January 10, 2018, at 9:55 a.m., during an

Resident 29 but she was not aware of any new
recommendations.
There was no further Dental Examination in
Resident 29's clinical record. After the
Evaluator inquired, on January 10, 2018,
Dental Exam reports were faxed by the dental
office. A review of the reports indicated
Resident 29 was evaluated on October 13 and
November 8, 2017. On November 8, 2017, the
dentist indicated Resident 29 was advised to
notify the charge nurse or a social worker if she
experienced pain or discomfort or if she
needed to be seen by the dentist.

services and ensure services meet professional
standard of practice and the residents' needs.
This deficient practice resulted in lack of
participation in care planning, timely
assessments, and lack of identification of
deficient practices in the food and nutrition
services. This deficient practice had the
potential to cause malnutrition and negatively
affect all 38 residents in the facility.
Findings:
During the tour of the kitchen on January 8,
2018 starting at 8:04 a.m. there were several
deficient practices identified cross refer F803,
F806, and F812.
A review of the Dietary Consultant Agreement
dated June 15, 2009, indicated the RD was
contracted for 8 hours a month on a regularly
scheduled basis. According to the contract, the
RD's visits will be at appropriate times and of
sufficient duration and frequency to provide
continuing liaison with medical and nursing
staff, advice to the administrator, patient
counseling, guidance to the supervisor and
staff of the Dietetic Services Department. The
services specified in the contract include:
Assistance in developing and updating policy
and procedure manuals for the Dietetic
Services Department; "Involvement in patient
care to include nutrition assessment of each
patient."
One of the new requirement in the 2017 New
Long-Term Care Survey Process is that facility
will have policies regarding use and storage of

February 2014, indicated it was consistent with
the new requirements of the regulation. The
guidance given in the State Operations Manual
of the new regulation is that, "Facility is
responsible for storing food brought by the
facility or visitors ...." The facility's policy does
not include this provision." The RD was not
included in the updating of the policy.
Other guidance of this regulation is the policy
must also include ensuring facility staff assists
the resident in accessing and consuming the
food. The DSS was not aware of the regulation
and the facility did not have a refrigerator to
store food brought in by visitors. The Dietary
Service Supervisor (DSS) stated in an interview
on January 12, 2018 at 9:49 a.m., the facility
does not allow outside food.
A review of the Dietary Consultant reports from
February 2017 through January 2018, indicated
the RD maintained the contracted hours as
stipulated in the contract.
An analysis of the dates the RD visited the
facility based on Dietary Consultant reports
from May 2017 to December 2017, showed the
time lapse between one visit to another varies
from three weeks to as long as seven weeks.
For example, June 11 to July 22, 2017, six
weeks; August 3, 2017 to September 17, 2017,
seven weeks. These extended time frames do
not allow for sufficient frequency to timely
consultation and nutrition assessments.
In a telephone interview with the RD on
January 9, 2018, at 10:46 a.m., she stated she
works only eight hours a month and the
contract has been maintained that way since it
was signed. When concern about major lapse
was discussed, RD explained it has been
difficult and she has not been able to increase
her hours since being hired. RD stated when
new residents are admitted, she consults over

the phone and does not come in. This practice
includes new residents that may be on tube
feeding. She stated the DSS reads lab values,
medication and other pertinent information and
RD relays her recommendations over the
phone to nursing staff.
According to the facility's undated policy titled,
"Nutritional Assessment," all residents will have
a nutritional assessment completed within
fourteen days." When this facility's policy and
the regulatory time line was discussed with the
RD, she stated she was not aware of the
timeline.
A review of Resident 29's dietary records,
indicated the initial assessment was completed
by the DSS, who is not a RD and not within the
DSS scope of practice. The DSS completed all
subsequent assessments titled as, "Dietary
Notes." The DSS is trained in food service
management and allowed by CMS to complete
to data gathering portions of the MDS (section
K) related to nutrition.
A review of the job description titled, "Food
Service Director," describes the position as,
"effectively manages the Dietary Department to
assure that food service is safe, appetizing and
nutritious." Nothing in the listed job
responsibilities included nutrition assessment.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and
Dietetics, the RD's role in the nutrition care
process are nutrition assessment, nutrition
diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition
monitoring and evaluation. (2013 Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics: Scope of practice for
the Registered Dietitian).
None of the records reviewed included the
participation of the RD in care planning or in
the Interdisciplinary Team. (IDT - group of staff
from different healthcare disciplines) meetings.

All care plans and IDT meetings were signed
by the DSS.
A review of the facility Diet Manual indicated
several pages of a photocopied book with a
publishing date of 2007. The professional
standard of practice is that diet manuals are
revised every 5 years. The dietary manual is
the foundation of the diet, it provides the details
of the nutrition philosophy and guidance on diet
ordering including foods allowed and not
allowed on diets. According to the Diet Manual,
the consistent carbohydrate diet is the diet for
managing patients with diabetes. The facility
menu provides a NCS (Non Concentrated
Sweets) diet for residents with diagnosis of
diabetes. This outdated diet has been deemed
inappropriate.
In 2002, the American Diabetes Association
(ADA) in a Position Statement made
recommendations that, "Meal plans such as no
concentrated sweets, no sugar added, low
sugar and liberal diabetic diets are no longer
appropriate. These diets do not reflect the
diabetes nutrition recommendations and
unnecessarily restrict sucrose. Such meal
plans may perpetuate the false notion that
simply restricting sucrose -sweetened foods will
improve blood glucose control."
For long term health care facilities, the ADA
states," It is appropriate to serve residents with
diabetes the regular (unrestricted) menus, with
consistent amounts of carbohydrate at meals
and snacks. Food should not be restricted to
control blood glucose levels because of the risk
of malnutrition" (Diabetes Care Vol 25,
Supplement 1, January 2002) ADA
recommends dietitians should continue to take
the initiative in interpreting the current nutrition
recommendations to other health care
professionals. This information is included in

The facility had at least one resident on a
vegan diet. A vegan is a person who does not
eat or use animal products. There was no
menu written for vegan.
On January 8, 2018, at 11:52 a.m., during tray
line observation, the tray with a diet card with a
diet order listed as, "Vegan" was served
vegetables with bacon and three cans of
Ensure. In an interview with the DSS at 12:10
p.m., DSS stated it was resident's choice to
receive three boxes of Ensure (a liquid
nutritional supplement) in place of the food
served by the facility. The vegetable with bacon
would have been served to the resident without
the surveyor intervention. The absence of a
written menu increased the chances of error.
The use of the nutritional supplement was also
not in line with the "Food First" philosophy of
CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services).
The week 1 cycle Daily Menu Guide, showed,
"Bread Ex (exchange)/Graham crackers as the
bedtime snack planned for the residents all

exposed electrical wires and unfinished walls.
The shelves had chipped paint. There were two
large water heaters in this space. The water
heaters generate heat. There was no room
thermometer to ensure that food was stored at
the appropriate temperature. The lack of
insulation and the generating of heat by the two
large water heaters, resulted in possibility of
temperature extremes and exposing the food to
improper food storage conditions.
The RD stated in the concurrent interview her
responsibilities were in the kitchen and did not
include the outside storage. Her reports have
consistently described food storage as, "Ok," it
was unclear what areas she was assessing.
She states she had identified other issues like
the chipping paint on walls and shelves and
gives these concerns to the DSS and
Administrator to correct them. RD indicated that
since she was a consultant she can only
identify concerns and inform facility. Her
February 11, 2017 report reflected that some of
her previous recommendations were not
followed. Subsequent interviews with the RD
were not completed because RD was
unavailable by phone after the initial interview
that was conducted January 9, 2018.
The Administrator was interviewed on January
12, 2018 at 10:07 a.m. and on January 16,
2018 at 3:20 p.m. about the deficient practices
observed in the kitchen including the outside
food storage and the use of the dietary
consultant. She stated there was no restriction
on the RD hours and would have been allowed
to work extra hours had she requested to work
more hours. Stated no one had expressed any
concerns about the storage of food in the

because the term "entrée In the United States,
is often used to signify the part of a meal that
you would think of as the main course, less the
dessert. Others have used entrée to describe
the meats, fish, chicken, beef, pork, etc. this
lack of clarity in instructions could result in
decreased calories. Residents who were on
Double Portions were not served double
portions of the entrée, until surveyor
intervention.
Other deficient practices observed included
resident preferences not being honored. For
example, a resident who had a diet card that
indicated, "No gravy" was served gravy.
Another non-sampled resident who had diet
card that said, "No milk, soy" was served milk.
All the observed items had been placed in the
delivery carts bound for residents' rooms and
dining areas until it was brought to their
attention by the surveyor. The facility's system
of meal delivery did not include a process to
check for accuracy and ensure resident's
preferences were honored.
In an interview with the DSS on January 8,
2018 at 12:15 p.m. about the errors made by
the food service staff. DSS acknowledged the
lack of a process to validate accuracy.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure therapeutic diets were
served as ordered for one of 28 sampled
residents (Resident 29). Resident 29 had a
physician's order to receive diabetic snack at
bedtime. This failure had the potential to result
in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) due to lack
of food.
Findings:
On January 10, 2018 at 11:10 a.m. during an
interview, Resident 29 indicated she did not
receive any bedtime snack.
A review of the Admission Record indicated
Resident 29 was admitted to the facility on
August 31, 2017 and re-admitted on November
2, 2017, with diagnoses including generalized
muscle weakness, difficulty walking, heart
failure, chronic kidney failure, depression (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling
of sadness and loss of interest), and diabetes
(high blood sugar levels over a prolonged
period).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS standardized assessment and care screening
tool) dated December 6, 2017, indicated
Resident 29 was alert and oriented, able to
make decisions independently, and able to
communicate her needs.
A review of the Physician's Order since readmission indicated Diabetic Snack at bedtime
and a Regular NCS (Non-concentrated
Sweets), NSPOT (no salt packet on tray) with
non-fat milk, no gravy, no fried foods, no
banana, no citrus diet.

On January 10, 2018 at 12 p.m., during an
interview, the Dietary services Supervisor
(DSS) stated all residents who have special
orders for snacks receive them. Resident 29's
name was included in the list presented of
residents who receive snacks. According to
DSS, these snacks are prepared by food
service staff and labeled with each resident's
name.
On January 10, 2018 at 7:54 p.m. during an
interview, Certified Nursing Assistant 12 (CNA

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure food was
stored in a sanitary manner. The facility stored
food in an outside storage shed with unfinished
walls and ceiling. The shed had exposed
electrical wires and plumbing pipes, wooden
shelving with peeling paint. This deficient
practice had the potential to result in cross contamination.
Findings:
On January 8, 2018 at 9 a.m., food was
observed in a storage shed adjacent to the
facility main building. The shed had two large
water heaters with exposed electrical wires and
unfinished walls.
According to Section 3. 305. 12 of the 2013
Food Code, food may not be stored in a
mechanical room. Drafts of unfiltered air can be
sources of microbial contamination for stored
food.
The dry food in boxes, cans, and bags were
stored on shelves exposed to dust. Some of
these shelves on which the food was stored
had chipping paint.

According to Section 3-305.11 (A) (1) and (2) of
the 2013 Food Code, food shall be protected
from contamination by storing the FOOD: (1) in
a clean, dry location; (2) where it is not
exposed to splash, dust, or other
contamination.
The water heaters generate heat. There was
no room thermometer to ensure that food was
stored at the appropriate temperature. The lack
of insulation and the generating of heat by the
two large water heaters, resulted in possibility
of temperature extremes and exposing the food
to improper food storage. According to the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the
recommended temperature for a dry storage
room is between 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
On January 8, 2018 at 9:10 a.m., during an
interview, the Dietary Services Supervisor
(DSS) stated the temperature of the shed,
where the food was stored, was not monitored.
On January 9, 2017, at 10:46 a.m., during a
telephone interview, the Registered Dietitian
(RD) stated her responsibilities were in the
kitchen and did not include the outside storage.
The RD stated she had identified issues like
the chipping paint on walls and shelves in the
past and had given these concerns to the DSS
and the Administrator to correct them. The RD
indicated that since she was a consultant she
could only identify concerns and inform facility.
A review of the RD Reports indicated the RD
consistently described food storage as, "Ok."
The RD recommendations did not address the
outside storage.
On January 12, 2018, at 10:07 a.m. and on
January 16, 2018 at 3:20 p.m., during
interviews, the Administrator stated no one
including the RD, had expressed any concerns

one of 28 sampled residents (Resident 15).
Resident 15 was under hospice services but
there was no documented evidence of a written
contract signed by authorized representatives
of the hospice and the facility before hospice
care was furnished to the resident. This
deficient practice had the potential for
uncoordinated care that did not meet the
resident's need.
Findings:
On January 10, 2018 at 6:31 p.m., Resident 15
was observed lying in bed unable to make her
needs known.
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on
October 10, 2014 and readmitted on October
11, 2016, with diagnoses including Alzheimer's
disease (progressive mental deterioration due
to generalized degeneration of the brain),
transient ischemic attack (TIA - neurological
event with the signs and symptoms of a stroke
due to a temporary lack of adequate blood and
oxygen to the brain), dementia (significant loss
of intellectual abilities, such as memory
capacity, that is severe enough to interfere with
social or occupational functioning).
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated October 11, 2017, indicated
Resident 15 was severely impaired in cognition
(process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience,
and the senses) and was totally dependent on
staff for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, eating,
and toileting. Resident 15 was receiving
hospice care.
On January 10, 2018, at 7:23 p.m., during an
interview, the Administrator stated she could

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to meet the required
room size of 80 square feet for 23 of 24
resident rooms in multiple resident bedrooms.
This deficient practice had the potential to
result in inadequate space to provide safe
nursing care and privacy for the resident.
Findings:
During the general observation of the facility
from January 8, 2018 to January 16, 2018, the
facility had rooms that measured less than 80
square feet per resident in multiple residents'
bedroom.
