Resident 42's urinary catheter did not have loops and was not touching the floor. The loop had urine on them with sediments (a substance settling at the bottom of a liquid). 2. Residents 5 and 1's urinary catheter had a leg strap (a portable, handheld container designed to collect urine when a person cannot get to the bathroom) or stat lock (a specialized, adhesive device used in hospitals to securely hold a catheter tube in place on a patient's skin) on them.

The facility failed to rotate (a method to ensure repeated injections are not administered in the same area) Resident 5's subcutaneous (sq, beneath the skin) insulin administration sites. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 5 to experience adverse effect (unwanted, unintended result) of same-site subcutaneous administration of insulin such as excessive bruising, lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of fat) and cutaneous amyloidosis (is a condition in which clumps of abnormal proteins called amyloids build up in the skin).

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Head [NAME] (HC) used the correct scoopers during tray line service for residents on small- portion diets including residents who are on level four (4) International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative diet (a diet texture for individuals with severe swallowing difficulties) diet. This deficient practice has potential for residents who require small portions and are at risk for receiving inaccurate serving sizes, which has the potential to cause unintended weight gain or loss. Findings: During an observation of the tray line on 5/18/2026 at 11:57 a.m. with the HC, the HC was observed serving mashed potatoes. The HC scooped the potatoes using a size 8 scooper (holds 4 fluids ounces [a unit of measure for volume]) as each tray moved down the line. The potatoes were portioned directly from the pan at the steam table. The HC continued serving in the same manner for all residents assigned to receive the small portion.

Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 37's admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility initially admitted…

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the facility's Infection Prevention Control Policy to prevent the spread of infection, when facility failed to ensure the facility's Water Management Program (WMP - a written, step-by-step plan for buildings to ensure their water system was safe, clean, and efficient) was implemented as written. This failure had the potential to result in a lack of a structured plan and allows dangerous pathogens to thrive in the water system, that can lead to disease outbreaks in the facility and cause residents to get sick. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/20/2026 at 11:20 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP) and Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the facility's document titled, Water Management Program 2026 Committee was reviewed.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was provided with discharge instructions in the language (Spanish) preferred by Resident 1 to fully understand the risks and benefits associated with leaving the facility against medical advice (AMA - when a resident leaves a healthcare facility against the advice of their doctor). This deficient practice resulted to Resident 1 being discharged on 9/20/2025 at approximately 10 a.m. without understanding the risks and benefits of leaving the facility AMA. Cross reference F552.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 11/9/2022 with diagnoses including alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver with ascites (alcohol-associated liver disease from heavy alcohol drinking causing scarring of the liver and prolonged damage), protein calorie malnutrition (an imbalance of nutrients needed by the body), and alcohol dependence (a disorder characterized by the inability to control consumption of alcohol).…

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light (an alerting device used to contact nursing personnel for assistance) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was accessible and within reach. This failure had the potential to prevent Resident 1 from being able to contact facility staff for help as needed. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, dated 8/14/2025, the admission Record indicated Resident 1's diagnoses included lumbar spondylosis (a condition in which the bones and cartilage of the low back are wearing out over time), neuropathy (a condition where nerves in the body are damaged, leading to pain, weakness, and/or difficulty with balance and coordination), and respiratory failure (a condition where the lungs is unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, leading to dangerously low oxygen levels and/or high carbon dioxide levels in the blood).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 4/4/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent…

This failure had the potential to result in 64 of 69 residents, who received food from the kitchen, to acquire food borne illnesses (illness caused by consuming contaminated foods or beverages) by consuming potentially contaminated food. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/30/2025 at 12:43 p.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), two (2) flies were flying around the trayline area and landed on the pan.

This deficient practice had the potential for Residents 1 and 2 to become uncomfortable making them leave their room and wander around the facility. This can also affect their psychosocial wellbeing. Findings: A review of Resident 1's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 5/10/2024 and readmitted the resident on 5/31/2024 with diagnoses including, but not limited to, heart failure (long-term condition in which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should), lack of coordination, and acute pulmonary edema (condition caused by excess fluids in the lungs).

Findings: A review of Resident 4 ' s Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/24/2021 with diagnoses including hemiplegia (inability to move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (a lack of adequate blood supply to the brain cells depriving it of oxygen and vital nutrients which caused parts of the brain to die off) affecting the left non dominant side, epilepsy (a group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD – a group of disease that cause airflow…

Resident 4 was refusing molnupiravir (Lagevrio, an antiviral medication) and the licensed nurse refused to take it back and left the medication with Resident 4, who was not assessed as able to do self-administration (the act of administering something to oneself) of medications. This deficient practice denied Resident 4's right to refuse a medication and the potential for the medication to be taken by another resident if not properly disposed. Findings: A review of Resident 4's Face Sheet (admission Record) indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/8/2023 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a common lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems) and chronic viral hepatitis C (a long-term inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus).
