Based on observation, staff interviews, and facility document review, the facility staff failed to store, prepare and distribute food in the facility kitchen to prevent foodborne illnesses. The findings included: 1.The facility staff failed to discard out of date perishable food items and failed to label items when removed from the facility freezer. The kitchen contained out of date bread in the active food supply on two observations. The first observation had out of date bread dated 03/13/26 and the second observation had out of date bread of 4/7/26. On 4/14/2026 at 11:56 am, a walk through of the kitchen was conducted with the Dietary Director. Bread was observed placed on four trays in a separate area near the back of the kitchen containing sandwich breads and sandwich rolls. Two packages of bread had a date of 3/13/2026. When the Dietary Director was asked if the date was an expiration date, she stated the bread is pulled from the freezer and served each day. She could not say when the bread was pulled and could not locate a label for a used by date. The two packages with the date 3/13/2026 were thrown away by the Dietary Director. She reports receiving bread that day from the supplier. Due to the bread not being labeled with dates that the bread was received, used by dates, or dates when bread was pulled from the freezer, it was not clear when the other bread would expire or if it had expired. 4/15/2026 at 5:10pm, observation and interview with kitchen staff #1 revealed she was making sandwiches with bread that had a date of 4/7/2026. Five other loaves of bread had no date (expiration or date received) and one loaf was dated with the proper dates, not expired. When asked about why all the bread is not labeled she reports it was pulled that morning. When asked how she knows it was not expired since there is no date on the bread, she stated it is the same as using bread at home, you know when something is bad. She also reports that Serve Safe recommends six-seven days for bread to be used. This would also make the bread dated 4/7/2026 expired by one to two days. 4/15/2026 at 5:15 pm, interview with kitchen staff #2, who stated he had pulled the bread from the freezer that morning, they use what they pull each day, heat in a warmer and use by the evening. He did not have an explanation as to why some bread had a date and others did not. A facility policy titled, Food Storage, revised on 03/2015 indicated, leftover food must be stored appropriately in covered containers or wrapped carefully and clearly labeled and dated. Leftover food is to be used within three days of storage or discarded. On 04/16/2026 at 11:40 a.m., the issue with the out-of-date bread items and labeling was reviewed during a meeting with the Administrator and Director of Nursing. No further information regarding this issue was provided to the survey team prior to the exit conference. 2. The facility dietary staff failed to ensure the sanitizing station for the three-compartment sink was maintained in proper working order. On 04/16/2026 at approximately 9:00 a.m., the dietary manager (DM) tested the sanitizing solution in the three-compartment sink using a test strip. Multiple tests were conducted, with no observable change in the color of the test strips. Dietary personnel #2 added additional sanitizing solution to the water, and another test strip was used. The strip showed only a minimal color change and remained blue in appearance. According to the labeling on the sanitizing solution bottle, this result corresponded to a concentration range of 0-170 parts per million (ppm). The test strips were confirmed to be unexpired, with an expiration date of 12/2026. Signage posted above the sink indicated that the test strip readings should fall between 272-700 ppm. An additional sign on the adjacent wall indicated an acceptable range of 200-400 ppm. The DM and dietary personnel #2 stated that the facility had recently changed vendors, and the sanitizing station had been replaced. The DM stated they would contact the vendor, they only used the three-compartment sink for plastic trays that would crack in the dish machine, and they would use bleach if they used the three-compartment sink. On 04/16/2026 at 9:15 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was made aware that the sanitizing tests strips for the three-compartment sink in the kitchen were not reading within the appropriate range. On 04/16/2026 at 9:35 a.m., during an interview with dietary personnel #2 this staff stated that there was no current log in place to document sanitizing solution test results for the three-compartment sink. On 04/16/2026 at 11:40 a.m., the issue with the sanitizing station for the three-compartment sink was reviewed during a meeting with the Administrator and DON. During this meeting these staff were also informed that the dietary staff did not maintain a log documenting the results of sanitizing solution checks. No further information regarding this issue was provided to the survey team prior to the exit conference.

Resident #4 pulled out a package of "sugar free" cookies as an example of what the facility was making her eat. She stated, "I don't want this stuff--here, you can have it." The surveyor declined the cookies. On 9/10/14 at 8:30 AM the resident was observed to have breakfast in her room. The resident complained to the surveyor, "See this? I have french toast and no syrup--and my coffee is cold!" The surveyor flagged down CNA I in the hallway and informed her of the resident's request. CNA I heated the coffee and brought the resident some syrup for her french toast immediately. The surveyor observed the syrup was [MEDICATION NAME] maple syrup with no artificial sweetener. The diet card on Resident #4's tray stated her diet was supposed to be "NAS (no added salt), NCS (no concentrated sweets.)" On 9/10/14 at 12:10 PM the surveyor spoke to the RD (registered dietician) about Resident #4's diet orders and the discrepancy between the physician's signed orders and the diet being served by the dietary staff. The RD told the surveyor that the hospital physician had ordered the resident be placed on a cardiac ADA (American Diabetic Association) diet upon her return from a brief hospitalization on [DATE]. She said the resident was supposed to be receiving the NAS, NCS diet that was being delivered by the kitchen. The surveyor questioned if this would mean "no concentrated sweets, like the maple syrup" delivered by the CNA that AM. The RD agreed that was correct. On 9/10/14 at 15:45 PM the administrator and DON were informed of the surveyor's findings. The staff then clarified the order with Resident #4's physician. RN I said the physician wanted the resident continued on the NAS, NCS diet which staff had failed to transcribe over to the current recertification orders for the physician's signature. 5. For Resident #3, facility staff failed to monitor the effectiveness of PRN pain medication. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].#3 scored 15/15 on the brief interview for mental status on the quarterly MDS assessment with ARD 7/16/14. The resident fell on During clinical record review, the surveyor noted that the resident PRN pain medications for which characteristics of pain were not assessed before and after medication administration. The May 2014 Medication Administration Record [REDACTED]. The MAR indicated [REDACTED]. For the majority of doses, the nurse documented "helpful". On 5/4, the order for [MEDICATION NAME] was changed from PRN to scheduled every 4 hours. The administrator was notified of the concern on 9/11/14.
Based on staff interview and clinical record review, facility staff failed to ensure the physician periodically reviewed the resident's care and wrote progress notes for each visit for 1 of 13 residents in the survey sample (Resident #5). Resident #5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], the resident scored 5/15 on the brief interview for mental status. She was assessed with [REDACTED]. During clinical record review, the surveyor noted that the most recent physician visit was dated 4/18/14. On 9/9/14, the surveyor asked the administrator and nursing supervisor (RN#1) for documentation of a later physician visit. RN#1 reported that the physician dictates notes for transcription rather than writing them, so the latest one might not be on the chart yet. On 9/11/14, RN#1 offered a copy of a nurse's note dated 6/28/14 stating that the doctor had seen the resident and no new orders were written. She stated that the physician's office said the physician did not have a record of the physician seeing the resident on that date. The physician's office sent the transcript of the physician's 9/9/14 visit to the resident on 9/11/14. There was no record of a physician visit between 4/18 and 9/11/14. The administrator was made aware of the concern during a summary meeting on 9/11/14.
Based on observation, staff interview, facility document review and clinical record review, it was determined that the facility staff failed to anchor an indwelling Foley catheter to prevent excessive tension and pulling on the urinary meatus for 1 of 13 Residents in the sample survey, Resident #1. The Findings Included: Resident #1 was a [AGE] year old male who was admitted on [DATE]. Admitting [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment located in the clinical record was a 30 Day Medicare MDS assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 6/10/14. The facility staff coded that Resident #1 had a Cognitive Summary Score of 15. The facility staff also coded that Resident #1 required extensive assistance (3/2) with Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). In Section H. Bladder and Bowel the facility staff coded that Resident #1 had an Indwelling catheter. On September 10, 2014 at 10:15 a.m. the surveyor reviewed Resident #1's clinical record. Review of the clinical record produced signed physician orders [REDACTED]. Foley cath to straight drainage-Foley 16 Fr with 10cc bulb for [MEDICAL CONDITION] every shift. Irrigate catheter c (with) NS (normal saline) PRN (as needed)." (sic) On September 10, 2014 at 11:10 a.m. the surveyor observed a Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A. #1) rolling Resident #1 in his wheelchair and into his room. The surveyor observed a Foley catheter tubing exiting Resident #1's left pants leg. The surveyor asked Resident #1 if he had a strap on his catheter to prevent pulling. Resident #1 stated, "I don't think so." The surveyor asked Resident #1 if they could look to see if Resident #1 had a Foley catheter leg strap and Resident #1 stated, "Yes, okay." The surveyor asked C.N.A. (#1) to see if Resident #1 had on a leg strap. C.N.A. (#1) pulled up Resident #1's left pants leg to expose the left leg from ankle to hip area. No Foley catheter leg strap was observed. The C.N.A. (#1) then looked into Resident #1's brief and said that the Foley wasn't anchored. The surveyor asked C.N.A. (#1) why Resident #1 did not have a Foley leg strap. C.N.A. (#1) stated Resident #1 was showered the yesterday and the leg strap was probably removed to be washed/cleaned. On September 10, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. the surveyor notified the Administrator (Adm) and Charge Nurse, who was a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN #1), that Resident #1 had a Foley catheter and that the catheter tubing was not anchored to prevent excessive tension and pulling. The surveyor requested the facility policy and procedure for Foley catheter care. On September 10, 2014 at 2:45 p.m. the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) hand delivered a policy and procedure titled, "Catheter Care, Urinary." The policy and procedure read in part ... "Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to prevent infection of the resident's urinary tract ....15. Insure that the catheter remains secured with a leg strap to reduce friction and movement at the insertion site. (Note: Catheter tubing should be strapped to the resident's inner thigh.) 16. Report unsecured catheters to the supervisor. Be observant of skin irritation ... 17. Secure catheter utilizing a leg band." On September 10, 2014 at 3:40 p.m. the surveyor notified the Adm, Executive Director (ED) and Nursing Supervisor, who was a Registered Nurse (RN #1), that Resident #1 had a Foley catheter and that the catheter tubing was not anchored. No additional information was provided prior to exiting the facility as to why the facility staff failed to anchor the Foley catheter tubing for Resident #1 to prevent excessive tension and pulling on the urinary meatus.
Based on staff interview, facility document review and clinical record review, it was determined that the facility staff failed to assess and monitor a Stage II pressure ulcer by completing weekly skin assessments for 1 of 13 Residents in the sample survey, Resident #1. The Findings Included: Resident #1 was a [AGE] year old male who was admitted on [DATE]. Admitting [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment located in the clinical record was a 30 Day Medicare MDS assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 6/10/14. The facility staff coded that Resident #1 had a Cognitive Summary Score of 15. The facility staff also coded that Resident #1 required extensive assistance (3/2) with Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). In Section M. Skin Conditions the facility staff documented that Resident #1 was at risk to develop a pressure ulcer. On September 10, 2014 at 10:15 a.m. the surveyor reviewed Resident #1's clinical record. Review of the clinical record produced a Physician's Telephone Orders dated 8/23/14 at 11 a.m. that read in part ... "Cleanse Rt (right) buttock c (with) NS (normal saline), apply skin prep to area, cover c (with) Duoderm dressing + (and) use hyperflex tape- change p (after) bath on Tues (Tuesdays) + Fri (Fridays) + PRN (as needed)." (sic) Continued review of the clinical record produced the "Weekly Pressure Ulcer Record" dated 8/23/14 that documented that Resident #1 had a Stage II pressure ulcer measuring 1 cm X 1 cm on the right buttock. An additional skin assessment dated [DATE] was contained in the clinical record and documented that Resident #1 had a Stage II pressure ulcer on the right buttock measuring 1 cm X 1 cm. Further review of the clinical record produced August and September 2014 Treatment Administration Records (TAR's) that documented that the staff were following the physicians order to change the dressing on the Stage II pressure ulcer on the right hip on Tuesdays and Fridays after Resident #1 received his bath. Additional review of the clinical record produced the Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP) that documented the following "Problems" and "Goals." "Problem 5/27/14 Mobility Physical mobility impaired R/T (related to) weakness, R/T dementia, R/T needs assistance W/all (with all) mobility/locomotion needs. Goals Will not develop complications of immobility EG Pressure Sores, Contractures, Pneumonia ETC (etcetera)."

Goal- Will have no S/S (signs and symptoms) of infection and show signs of healing." (sic) Continued review of the clinical record failed to produce a skin assessment or monitoring of the Stage II pressure ulcer on the right buttock since 8/29/14 a total of 12 days. On September 10, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. the surveyor notified the Administrator (Adm) and Charge Nurse, who was a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN #1), that Resident #1 had a Stage II pressure ulcer on the right buttock and that review of the clinical record failed to produce any assessment or monitoring of the pressure ulcer since 8/29/14. The Charge Nurse (LPN #1) stated that she would look and see what she could find. The surveyor asked for the facility policy and procedure for wound care treatment. On September 10, 2014 at 2:45 p.m. the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) hand delivered two policies and procedures titled, "Dressing Change Protocol" and "treatment of [REDACTED]. "Dressing Change Protocol- Purpose: The nursing staff will change dressings as ordered to promote wound healing and prevent inflammation. ... 17. Document the procedure and any assessments made." "treatment of [REDACTED]. General Guideline: 1. Assess the pressure ulcer (s) for location, size (measure length, width, and depth), sinus tracts, undermining, tunneling, exudates, necrotic tissue, and the presence or absence of granulation tissue and [MEDICATION NAME]. 2. Determine the ulcer's current stage of development ... Documentation: ... 6. All assessment data obtained when inspecting the pressure ulcer." On September 10, 2014 at 3 p.m. the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) approached the surveyor and informed the surveyor that she was unable to locate any documentation of monitoring or assessment of the Stage II pressure ulcer on Resident #1's right buttock. The Charge Nurse (LPN #1) stated that the facility had gone to an electronic system on September 1, 2014 and that the new electronic system had not flagged or alerted the facility staff to do a skin assessment. The surveyor asked the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) how often were pressure ulcers supposed to be assessed and monitored and the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) stated, "At least weekly." On September 10, 2014 at 3:40 p.m. the surveyor notified the Adm, Executive Director (ED) and Nursing Supervisor, who was a Registered Nurse (RN #1), that Resident #1 had a Stage II pressure ulcer on the right buttock and that the facility had failed to assess and monitor the Stage II pressure ulcer since 8/29/14. No additional information was provided prior to exiting the facility as to why the facility staff failed to assess and monitor a Stage II pressure ulcer on an ongoing basis and provide a weekly skin assessment for Resident #1.
Based on observation, resident and staff interview and clinical record review it was determined the facility staff failed to honor food preferences for one out of thirteen residents -Resident #4. Resident #4's clinical record was reviewed 9/10/14 at 10:00 AM. Findings: Resident #4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The latest MDS (minimum data set) assessment, dated 8/12/14, coded the resident with some cognitive impairment. Her communication skills were intact. The resident had a physician's orders [REDACTED]. The order included: "Diet--NAS (no added salt.)" The latest updated CCP (comprehensive care plan) included the problem, "Nutrition, altered, less than body requirements....R/T therapeutic diet." The interventions included, " Question resident concerning appetite, food preferences, attitudes and beliefs about food and eating." On 9/9/14 at 4:15 PM Resident #4 was visited in her room. She told the surveyor that the facility staff kept bringing her diet foods without sugar--even though she had informed them she wanted regular food with sugar. "They keep saying I'm diabetic--I'm not. I want my sweets. I just use a little at a time. I watch what I eat." Resident #4 pulled out a package of "sugar free" cookies as an example of what the facility was making her eat. She stated, "I don't want this stuff--here, you can have it." The surveyor declined the cookies. On 9/10/14 at 8:30 AM the resident was observed to have breakfast in her room. The resident complained to the surveyor, "See this? I have french toast and no syrup--and my coffee is cold!" The diet card on Resident #4's tray stated her diet was supposed to be "NAS (no added salt), NCS (no concentrated sweets.)" On 9/10/14 at 12:10 PM the surveyor spoke to the RD (registered dietician) about Resident #4's diet orders and the discrepancy between the physician's signed orders and the diet being served by the dietary staff. The RD told the surveyor that the hospital physician had ordered the resident be placed on a cardiac ADA (American Diabetic Association) diet upon her return from a brief hospitalization on [DATE]. She said the resident was supposed to be receiving the NAS, NCS diet that was being delivered by the kitchen. The surveyor informed the dietician the resident was unhappy being on a sugar-free diet and that she wanted some sweets (meaning real sugar) restored. The RD noted that the resident's diabetes was controlled by diet and that she was not on any insulin. She acknowleged she got food from family members as well. On 9/10/14 at 15:45 PM the administrator and DON were informed of the surveyor's findings. The staff then clarified the order with Resident #4's physician. RN I said the physician wanted the resident continued on the NAS, NCS diet which staff had failed to transcribe over to the current recertification orders for the physician's signature. RN I said the physician had decided Resident #4 could not have concentrated sweets and would remain on the NCS diet previously ordered.
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility staff failed to maintain the dumpster area in a clean and sanitary manner. The Findings Included: On September 9, 2014 at 2:20 p.m. the surveyor observed the dumpster area located just outside of the facility kitchen. The surveyor observed the following items littered around the dumpster: used gloves, a large piece of wet card board (approximated 1 foot by 1 foot in size), newspaper, candy wrappers, a thick plastic paper/wrapper and a wine cork. On September 10, 2014 at 3:40 p.m. the surveyor notified the Adm, Executive Director (ED) and Nursing Supervisor, who was a Registered Nurse (RN #1), that the dumpster area had multiple items lying on the ground around the dumpster. On September 11, 2014 at 11 a.m. the surveyor made a tour of the facility with the Maintenance Director (MD). The surveyor notified the MD that the dumpster was not maintained in a clean and sanitary manner on 9/9/14. The surveyor notified the MD that the dumpster area was littered with soiled/used gloves and paper products. The surveyor asked the MD who was responsible for keeping the dumpster area clean and he stated that the maintenance department was responsible for keeping the area clean. No additional information was provided prior to exiting the facility as to why the facility staff failed to maintain the dumpster area in a clean and sanitary manner.
Based on observation, staff interview and facility document review it was determined that the facility staff failed to accurately complete the daily staffing as to totaling the number of hours worked on the daily staffing form from August 20, 2014 through September 9, 2014. The Findings Included: On September 9, 2014 at 2:45 p.m. the surveyor made a walk through of the facility. The surveyor observed that the daily staffing was posted for the facility staff at the main nursing station. The surveyor reviewed the daily staffing post from September 9, 2014. No information was documented on the daily posting to identify any staff, to include Registered Nurses (RN's), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's), Certified Nursing Assistants (C.N.A's) and to include facility census. Additionally, the facility had not totaled the total number of hours worked by each discipline. The surveyor stopped at the nurses' desk and asked why the daily staffing was incomplete and who was responsible for filling out the daily staffing. The Administrator (Adm), Charge Nurse, who was an LPN (#1), and the Unit Secretary (US) stated that the third shift was responsible for filling out the form. The surveyor notified the Adm, Charge Nurse (LPN #1) and US that having third shift fill out the daily staffing was ineffective and defeated the purpose of the daily staffing posting. The surveyor notified the Charge Nurse (LPN #1) and the US that the census and daily staffing were supposed to be posted for each shift for public viewing and that only filling out the form on the third shift defeated the purpose of posting the daily census and staffing. The surveyor requested the daily staffing posts for the past two (2) weeks. On September 10, 2014 at 3:40 p.m. the surveyor notified the Adm, Executive Director (ED) and Nursing Supervisor, who was a Registered Nurse (RN #1) that the daily staffing was not posted when the survey team entered the facility on September 9, 2014. The surveyor once again requested the daily staffing posts for the past two weeks. Within a few minutes a Secretary hand delivered the daily staffing posts from August 20, 2014 through September 8, 2014. The surveyor reviewed the August 20, 2014 through September 8, 2014 daily staffing posts. The surveyor observed that the facility staff had not totaled the number of hours worked for each discipline (RN's, LPN's and C.N.A.'s) during the 2 week look-back period. Additionally, the facility staff did not document the use and services of a RN for at least 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week. The surveyor notified the Administrative Team (AT) that the staffing sheets were inaccurate that the hours were not totaled for each discipline and that an RN was not documented as working 8 hours per 24 hours on the staff posts. The Secretary then hand delivered the staffing schedule for the time frame of August 20, 2014 through September 8, 2014. The surveyor reviewed the staffing schedule with the Secretary. The surveyor notified the AT that staffing schedule documented a house supervisor (RN #1) and a Minimum Data Set (MDS) nurse, who was a RN, and several PRN (as needed) RN's scheduled to provide an RN to work 8 hours per 24 hours. The surveyor notified the AT that the staffing posts were incomplete and inaccurate. No additional information was provided prior to exiting the facility as to why the facility staff failed to accurately complete the daily staffing as to totaling the number of hours worked by RN's, LPN's and C.N.A.'s and failed to include a RN for 8 hours per 24 hour period from August 20, 2014 through September 9, 2014.
