NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: a. Ensure that a licensed nurse did not leave 11 medications at a resident`s bedside who was assessed as not safe to self-administer oral medications for one of two residents (Resident 11). This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to choke on the medications upon oral ingestion while unsupervised. b. Provide bed rail padding for a resident with a history of epileptic seizures (a sudden surge of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to a range of symptoms like muscle spasms, loss of consciousness) as ordered by the physician for one of one resident (Resident 54). This deficient practice placed Resident 54 at an increased risk for injuries. c. Provide a resident, who is at high risk for falls, with landing mats (cushioned mats placed on the floor, typically beside a bed or chair, to mitigate injury if a patient falls) as ordered by the physician for one (Resident 107) out of four sampled residents…

NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to: 1. Ensure a resident was free from significant medication error by failing to administer antihypertensive medication (used to treat high blood pressure [the force of the blood pushing on the blood vessel walls is too high]) timely for one of one resident (Resident 11) investigated under medication administration. This deficient practice had the potential to cause complications such as high blood pressure that could require hospitalization. 2. Ensure licensed nurses administered and/or held midodrine (medication used to treat low blood pressure [BP]) in accordance with the physician's prescribed parameters for one of two sampled residents (Resident 97) investigated under the care area of significant medications. This deficient practice had the potential for placing the resident at increased risk of experiencing adverse side effects. 3.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the menu and did not meet nutritional needs of residents when: 1. [NAME] 1 did not follow the recipe for garlic buttered rice 2. [NAME] 1 did not follow portion sizes for small and large portions by serving three (3) ounces (oz, a unit of measurement) instead of two (2) oz and four (4) oz respectively. This deficient practice had the potential to result in bland (lacking strong flavor or taste) food item resulting to decreased nutrient intake due to poor food intake of 78 of 120 resident who received garlic buttered rice and ineffective therapeutic diet (a meal plan that controls the intake of certain food and nutrients in the treatment or management of certain medical condition or illness) provisions of four (4) of six (6) residents on small portion diets and two (2) of three (3) residents on large portion diets getting food from the kitchen.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare food by methods that conserved temperature, flavor and appearance when: 1. The temperature of the foods were as follows: a. Pound cake with strawberries and whip cream was at 56.5 degrees Fahrenheit (°F, a scale of temperature) b. Zucchini 115°F, c. Puree (a texture modified diet that consists of smooth, moist foods that are easy to swallow, food with soft pudding like consistency) pound cake with strawberries and whip cream was at 60°F 2. Zucchini was soggy and overcooked. 3. Gravy drippings were on the side of the plate. This deficient practice placed 78 of 120 facility residents on regular, therapeutic diets (a meal plan that controls the intake of certain food and nutrients in the treatment or management of certain medical conditions or illness) and puree diets at risk of unplanned weight loss, a consequence of poor food intake, getting food from the kitchen. Findings: 1. During a review of the facility's menu spreadsheet (a list of food, amount of food that each diet would receive) titled Menus,…

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare foods in a form designed to meet individual needs when the pureed (a texture-modified diet composed of foods that have been ground, pressed, or strained to a soft, smooth consistency, similar to pudding) roast pork was runny and did not hold its shape on the plate and pureed bread lacked a smooth pudding like consistency, containing visible bread particles. These failures had the potential to result in difficulty in swallowing, chewing, decreased in food intake and nutrient intake to 10 of 10 residents on pureed diet, resulting in unintended (not planned) weight loss and choking (when food gets stuck in your airway, blocking the flow of air to your lungs). Findings: During a review of the facility's menu spreadsheet (a sheet containing the kind and amount of food each diet would receive) titled Menus, dated 6/16/2025, the spreadsheet indicated residents on puree diet would include the following foods on the tray: - Puree braised pork shoulder ½ cup (c., household measurement) - Puree garlic buttered…

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen, as evidenced by the following: 1. There was no thermometer inside the reach-in freezer (refers to a standard freezer that allows for easy access to the frozen items stored inside) for temperature monitoring. 2. Kitchen equipment and kitchen areas were observed to be unclean and not sanitized. a. Walk-in freezer (a large, refrigerated room designed for storing frozen food items) curtains were observed to have stickers, sticker residues and food spills. b. Walk-in refrigerator (refers to a large, walk-in storage space, used to store perishable food items) vent had dust build-up. c. Dry storage vent (used to ensure proper air circulation and humidity control within areas where non-perishable foods and supplies are stored at room temperature) had dust build-up. 3. Eight (8) of eight dented canned goods were stored alongside non-dented cans, posing a potential food safety risk. 4. Staff failed to perform hand hygiene (refers to…

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 630's) food allergy (when your body's immune system mistakenly identifies a food as harmful and triggers a reaction) was honored when the food allergy was not entered in Resident 630's medical records in a timely manner, and staff did not accurately enter the food allergy into the meal order system. The diet ticket (a slip of paper or digital record that specifies which meal a resident is supposed to have and when and used by the kitchen staff to ensure each resident receives the correct food at the correct time) indicated an allergy to bell peppers instead of all peppers. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 630 being served peppers which had the potential to result in an allergic reaction (a condition that causes illness when someone eats certain foods or touches or breathes in certain substances). Findings: During a review of Resident 630's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 630 on 6/6/2025 with diagnoses that included…

This deficient practice violated the resident's rights to be treated with respect and dignity which had the potential to affect the resident's sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/8/2024 at 10:30 a.m., observed Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2) enter Room A with three resident occupants without knocking and asking permission to enter the room. CNA 3 then proceeded to the third bed and provided patient care. Upon exiting Room A, CNA 3 was asked why she did not knock prior to entering the residents' room. CNA 3 stated that she forgot and explained that she should have knocked prior to entering as a show of respect to the residents. CNA 3 stated that this facility is the resident's home and their privacy should be respected and upheld their dignity by respecting their personal space. A review of…

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's call light (a device used by a resident to signal his/her need for assistance from staff) was within reach for one of one sampled resident (Resident 62). This deficient practice had the potential to cause a delay in resident care and for the resident's needs to remain unmet. Findings: A review of Resident 62's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/1/2020 with diagnosis of head and skull injury and liver failure (loss of liver function). A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive standardized assessment and screening tool) dated 5/31/2024, indicated Resident 62 had severe cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 62 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs - activities related to personal care). During an interview on 7/8/2024 at 11:41 a.m., with Resident 62,…
