Review of the facility investigative file for RI #1 revealed a typed document titled Accusation of Failure to Administer Resident Medications that was signed by EI #1 DON and dated 2/14/2023 and signed by EI #3 LPN. Review of this document revealed the following: 2/7/23 Social Services was interviewing residents and staff regarding alleged verbal abuse . A resident . stated she (EI #3) does not always bring . the midnight dose of . medications. A fell ow charge nurse was able to substantiate the allegation. . (EI #3) was called in . and questioned about the medication violation. She agreed that she did not always give the midnight dose of morphine due to resident sleeping. I questioned her how often this happens and she said, a couple of nights a week. She has been documenting on the EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record) that she was administering said dose. 2/8/23 . I pulled the resident's . (RI #1) EMAR back to 12/16/22 along with the controlled substance inventory record. Nurse (EI #3) signed both documents indicating medication administration.

She admitted again to signing it out on the EMAR and the inventory record. I had printed proof and showed her each time that is was shown to be administered by her. She stated, a habit of clicking through the EMAR and logging on substance inventory record. She stated on rounds at approx. 1130pm (approximately 11:30 PM) resident would be asleep. She admitted she never went back at midnight to administer the morphine, which was scheduled for midnight. She would then document on said records but never drew up the medication. The count was always correct, and she could not explain how that was. Employee was brought back in . liabilities explained. She was informed that grounds for termination were based on . allegations made by a resident, falsifying documents on the EMAR . Narcotic Inventory Record, . not following MD (medical doctor) orders and no follow up as to why. On 9/18/2023 at 2:31 PM RI #1 was asked about receiving morphine. RI #1 said, it was every six hours. RI #1 said, sometimes he/she did not receive the midnight dose if EI #3 was working. The surveyor was unable to reach EI #3, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for interview after multiple attempts. On 9/19/2023 at 5:30 AM, EI #4 LPN was interviewed. She said she worked with EI #3 a few nights a week. EI #4 said, when interviewed by the social worker, she had reported to her that when they worked together she did not see EI #3 open the medication cart or narcotic drawer to get the morphine for RI #1 at midnight. When asked how many residents received medication at midnight, EI #4 said, she was not sure, but RI #1 was to get morphine every six hours at 12:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM.

On 9/19/2023 at 9:55 AM EI #2 Social Service and Abuse Coordinator, said she was told by EI #4 about EI #3 not giving medications at night. EI #2 said, when she interviewed RI #1, the resident said sometimes he/she got the medication at midnight and sometimes did not. EI #2 said, she looked in RI #1's medical record and realized morphine was a routine order. EI #2 said, RI #1 reported to her that EI #3 gave it at 5:30 AM or 6:00 AM. EI #2 said, EI #3 was signing it out as given at the 12:00 AM dose but was not giving it. On 9/19/2023 at 3:38 PM EI #5 Pharmacist, was interviewed. EI #5 said, she was on the phone call when EI #3 was asked about the morphine she did not give and several times EI #3 said, she did not know. EI #5 said, while on that call EI #3 said that on rounds about 11:30 PM, RI #1 would be asleep and she would document the morphine as given. On 9/19/2023 at 3:40 PM EI #1 Director of Nursing (DON) was asked about the investigation into RI #1's morphine. EI #1 said, the order was morphine 2.5 ml/5 mg, it was due routinely every six hours at 6:00 AM, 12 Noon, 6:00 PM, and 12:00 midnight. EI #1 said, EI #3 told them in an interview that she had not given the morphine a couple nights a week. EI #1 said, the medication was signed off on the MAR. EI #1 said, EI #3 was asked what she did with the morphine, and EI #3 repeatedly said she did not know but agreed she, EI #3, did not always give the morphine if RI #1 was sleeping. EI #1 said, they had EI #3 back at the facility on 2/14/2023 and she admitted she was signing it off on the Medication Administration Record and out in the narcotic record, but would not tell what she was doing with it. EI #1 said, they asked EI #3 if she was using it herself and she kept saying she did not know. EI #1 said, the facility discovered EI #3 was not giving RI #1 the morphine on 2/4/2023 during interviews. EI #1 said, the morphine was signed out as given every time. When EI #1 was asked about the policy for nurses giving medications, EI #1 said, they were to follow doctor orders, give to the resident, the right medication, route and time. EI #1 was asked how EI #3 followed the doctor's orders when the morphine midnight dose was not given. EI #1 said, she did not and also did not notify the Medical Doctor. EI #1 said, the concern for the resident if the nurse did not give scheduled medication ordered by the physician was the resident could have more pain.

Employee Identifier (EI) #8, the Certified Nursing Assistant that provided RI #10's tray, was interviewed on 04/05/2016 at 5:40 PM. EI #8 explained residents at the same table were supposed to get trays right at the same time. EI #8 was unaware of when the other two residents at the table received their trays and did not know how long RI #10 sat waiting on a tray while they ate. The surveyor informed EI #8 it was a period of twenty minutes. EI #8 said, That's way too long. When asked why it was important to ensure residents seated at the same table were served at approximately the same time, EI #8 said you do not want one eating in front of the other. EI #5, the Director of Nursing, was interviewed on 04/07/2016 at 10:55 AM. When asked what the facility's policy was regarding serving trays in the Dining Room, EI #5 stated they usually served a table at a time. When asked why it was important to serve residents seated at the same table at approximately the same time, EI #5 said it was a dignity issue. EI #5 explained you did not want one resident sitting there without food while the other residents around were eating. EI #5 then said, That's proper manners. EI #2, the Assistant Director of Nursing, was also present at this time and stated you did not want the resident to feel left out.
Inspection of April 9, 2015
3 findingsBased on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to assure equipment (the food processor) was cleaned and air dried between use to prevent potential biological contamination, a risk factor for foodborne illness. Findings include: The 2013 Food Code by the United States Public Health (USPHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) included the following: "Drying 4-901.11 Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required. After cleaning and SANITIZING, EQUIPMENT and UTENSILS: (A) Shall be air-dried or used after adequate draining as specified in the first paragraph of 40 CFR 180.940 Tolerance exemptions for active and inert ingredients for use in antimicrobial formulations (food-contact surface SANITIZING solutions), before contact with FOOD..." On 4/07/2015 at 3:40 PM, the (blender) food processor was observed stored on a counter with the lid (cover) secured. Water was observed pooled on the bottom and would roll around when tipped. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), Employee Identifier (EI) #5, was asked, if it (the processor) was dry and the response was, "No, Ma'am, not dry." A review of the facility policy "Policy and Procedure for Washing and Sanitizing In Dishmachine," with a revised date of March 15, 2013 and revised on April 7, 2015 revealed the following: Item #9 under procedure documented: "...9. Allow dishes to dry on racks ..." A review of the schedule "Plating and Serving Time all Meals" documented the evening meal service began at 4:25 PM and breakfast plating was at 6:45 AM. Accordingly the potential exists for the processor to sit with standing water for 14+ hours. On 4/08/2015 at 4:50 PM, an interview was conducted with the CDM. E I #5 was asked what were the four elements needed for food contamination. EI #5 responded, Poor Personal (Hygiene) Time/Temperature control , Physical Contamination, Chemical Contamination and Bacterial Contamination. EI #5 was asked what the Food Code indicated about air drying. EI #5 responded, after wash/sanitize - do not use towels. Allow to air dry. EI #5 was asked to explain what was needed for the growth of bacteria. EI #5 responded: food, acidity, time/temperature, oxygen and moisture. EI #5 was asked what elements were created for potential food borne illness. EI #5 responded, moisture, food, oxygen and temperature. EI #5 was asked were conditions present and what was the risk. EI #5 responded, yes, potential for the growth of bacteria. 6. The CDM EI #5 was asked, why the water remained or why it was standing. EI #5 responded, evidently it was put up there to store for the night while still wet. It (the processor) was turned right side up. They (staff) were more than likely in a hurry.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) washed her hands and changed her gloves during incontinence care in a manner to prevent cross contamination.

(Alternatively), wash hands with an antimicrobial soap and water..." RI #2 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. RI #2's most recent quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) with an Assessment Reference Date of 2/23/2015 revealed severe cognitive impairment and total dependence on staff for toilet use. On 4/8/2014 at 6:10 PM, an observation was made of EI (Employee Identifier) #4, a CNA, providing incontinence care for RI #2. EI #4 changed her gloves twice during incontinence care without hand hygiene. While wearing the same gloves during incontinence care, EI #4 cleaned RI #2's buttocks, removed the soiled brief, and then placed a clean brief under the resident. EI #4 removed her gloves after incontinence care and, without washing her hands, began to reposition RI #2, while also observed touching the bed, call light, linens, pillows, over bed table, and also placed the perineal spray in RI #2's cabinet. On 4/8/2015 at 6:23 PM, EI #4 was asked when she washed her hands. EI #4 stated before and after the care.

Inspection of May 8, 2014
1 findingBased on observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' medical records were not left in a place that was easily accessible to residents, visitors, or other unauthorized persons. This had the potential to affect all 57 residents currently residing in the facility. Findings include: The facility's policy "Storage of Medical Records" with a revision date of 7/2003 documented, "1. The facility will maintain privacy of the resident's medical record ... ." On 5/6/14 at 2:00PM, the surveyor observed the residents medical charts out in the open on an open cart. The records were accessible to residents, visitors and employees. On 5/7/14 at 9:30 AM,the surveyor observed the residents medical charts out in the open on an open cart. The records were accessible to residents, visitors and employees.

Inspection of March 14, 2013
1 findingBased on observation, interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored and served in a manner to prevent the potential for food-borne illness by the following: 1.) staff did not document use-by dates on items in the refrigerator; 2.) frozen sweet potatoes were not sealed properly to prevent ice accumulation; 3.) the dishmachine sanitizing temps (temperatures) were not consistently 180 degrees F (Farenheit) or above; and 4.) two items on the 03/13/13 lunch trayline were not checked for proper temperature. This had the potential to affect all 57 of 57 residents who receive meals from the kitchen. Findings include: 1.) The facility's policy and procedure titled: "Use of Leftovers" dated 04/2011, revealed: "... Procedures: ... 2. Leftovers should be covered, labled, and dated: then stored appropriately (refrigerated or frozen if necessary within 1/2 hour. ... 4. Do not serve leftovers that have not been properly stored. (When in doubt, throw it out). 5. Any food that is leftover (food served for a meal, but was not all served), shall be used as follows: ... Use leftovers within 3 days or discard." During the initial tour of the kitchen on 03/12/13 at 5:08 PM, the stand alone refrigerator contained a plate of grilled cheese with the date 3-12. EI (Employee Identifier) #1 (Certified Dietary Manager) said they were leftover from that night's supper. There was a bag of biscuits with a label that contained the date 3-12. The label had a line for the "use by" date, but there was no use -by date documented. There was a bowl of pickle chips with plastic wrap covering it and had a date of 1-2 on the label line for "use by." EI #1 said that was the date the container of pickles came to the facility. There was a container of sweet potatoes that had the date 3-6 on the "use by" line. A container of whipped topping had a date of 2-27. A container of ham had a date of 3-10. A container of tomatoes and okra was dated 3-11. A container of puree cream of chicken had a date of 3-11 on the "use by" line. There were three trays of eggs with no use by date. EI #1 was asked if she could see a use by date on the trays. She said she could not. EI #1 explained that there was supposed to be a date on the lip of the trays. There was also a container of vanilla pudding that had a date of 3-4. On 03/13/13 at 9:32 AM, one of the dietary aides (EI #2) was dating boxes and putting away new stock. The walk-in cooler contained eight covered cups on a rolling food rack. There was no label or date on them to identify what the items were and when the use-by dates were. EI #2 was asked what they were. She said puree fruit from that morning. EI #2 was asked how she knew when it was made. She said it was made the day before, because the dietary staff always make it the day before it is to be used. On 03/13/13 at 10:04 AM, EI #2 was asked what the date meant on the pickles inside the stand alone refrigerator. She said that was the day they were placed in the refrigerator. EI #2 explained that all the dates were the dates they place them in the containers. EI #2 said they should have the use-by dates on the items, but the staff knew to use them within five to seven days. There were five containers of chicken stew in the refrigerator with a date of 3-1. There was one hamburger stew with a date of 3-6 on the "use by" line. EI #2 said she understood the confusion with the way the items were dated. EI #2 was asked who usually documents the dates on the leftovers. She said the cook. On 03/13/13 at 10:07 AM, the cook (EI #3) was asked how she was trained to put dates on leftovers. She said she writes the day it goes into the refrigerator and the date to use it. EI #3 was asked if the corn beef hash was supposed to be used by 3-11. She said it was not, that the date documented was the day it was put in there. EI #3 said if it is not used within three days they discard it. Other items in the stand alone refrigerator were: tomatoes and okra dated 3-11; sweet potatoes dated 3-6 on the use-by line; puree cream of chicken dated 3-11 on the use by line; chocolate pudding dated 3-8; weenies and sauerkraut dated 3-12; puree tomatoes dated 3-10; tomato paste 3-6; and corn dated 3-10. EI #3 was asked how she knew when to discard items. She said they discard after three days, but she thought it was lengthened to five or seven days. EI #3 was asked how she was trained to date items placed in the refrigerator. She said she was trained to put the date it goes in the refrigerator. EI #3 was asked if she would just do the math in her head. She replied, "Yes." On 03/14/13 at 9:45 AM, EI #1 was asked who was responsible for labeling and dating items in the refrigerator and freezer. She said everyone who puts anything in the refrigerator or freezer should label and date the items. EI #1 was asked how the staff were trained to label and date items. She said they are to put the day it is prepared or the day it comes off the truck. EI #1 was asked how staff know when the use-by day is. She said it is thrown out after three days if it is potentially hazardous. She said if it has a long shelf life they put the date it comes into the facility. EI #1 said she goes through and pulls out all the food each morning to use what she can for leftovers. EI #1 was asked how they know when to discard items since there was no use-by date. EI #1 said she knew their labels were confusing. EI #1 was asked why they do not document the use-by date when their labels have a line for it. EI #1 said it was partly her fault for not instructing her staff to do it. She explained that the dates are all the prepare dates, not the use-by dates. EI #1 was asked if she just expected her staff to do the math and discard items after three days. She replied, "Yes." EI #1 said she also goes through the food every morning and discards what needs to be discarded. 2.) During the initial tour of the kitchen on 03/12/13 at 5:08 PM, the freezer located outside had a box that contained sweet potato patties in a blue bag. The bag was not sealed. There was an accumulation of ice on the potatoes. EI #1 was asked if the bag was closed or just wadded. She said it was just wadded up. On 03/14/13 at 9:45 AM, EI #1 was asked how frozen items are re-sealed after opening. She said they just fold the wrapper around the food or they will put the item in a different bag when it gets low. EI #1 was asked if they put a twist tie on them. She said they do not, but sometimes they tie a knot with the bag. EI #1 was informed the sweet potatoes had ice on them, and asked EI #1 if air could have gotten to them. EI #1 responded, "Yes ma'am." 3.) The facility's policy and procedure titled, "Dishwasher" (undated) documented: "1. Check all temperature(s) on dish machine before operating. ... Rinse temperature 180 degrees or above. ..." On 03/13/13 at 9:20 AM, a dietary worker (EI #4) was operating the dishmachine to clean pots, bowls, cups, and plate holders. EI #4 was asked what temperature the sanitizing cycle had to be. She replied, "A hundred and seventy-five; somewhere around there." EI #4 was asked if she documents the temps. She said she does on the board. EI #4 was asked if the sanitizer and rinse cycle were the same cycle. She said she thought they were. A review of the "Dish Machine Temperature Log" for March 2013 revealed the sanitizing temps were not consistently 180 degrees or above for the breakfast dishes. March 1st: 177 degrees March 3rd: 178 degrees March 12th: 177 degrees March 13th: 178 degrees EI #4's initials were by the temps for the 12th and 13th. On 03/14/13 at 9:45 AM, EI #1 was asked what the sanitizing temp should be for the dishmachine. She said 180 degrees. EI #1 was asked if anyone monitored the dishmachine workers to make sure the temps are at least 180. She said the workers are supposed to notify her if it gets below 180. EI #1 was asked if anyone monitored the documentation. She said she does. EI #1 was asked if she was aware before 03/13/13 that the temps were documented below 180. She said she was not. EI #1 was asked if EI #4 had been trained that the temps must reach 180. She responded, "Yes." EI #1 explained that they have to run it through several cycles to get it hot enough in the morning. 4.) The facility's policy and procedure titled: "Food Temperatures" (undated) revealed: "... 3. Hot food items may not fall below 135 degrees after cooking. If temperature falls below 135 degrees food must be reheated to a temperature of 165 degrees for 15 seconds. ...6. Hot food will be held 165-180 degrees or higher when removed from the heat source. ..." On 03/13/13 at 10:50 AM, lunch trayline was observed. The cook (EI #3) took the temperatures of all the items that were on the trayline. EI #3 heated up two individual bowls (one containing chicken broth and one containing leftover cream of chicken soup) then placed them on the trayline. EI #3 did not check the temperatures of the two individual items. At 11:17 AM, the cream of chicken soup was placed on a tray and put in the cart. As the cart was going out the door, EI #3 was asked if she checked the temperature of the soup. She said she did not. The temp of the soup was then checked and was 153 degrees F. The soup was re-heated in the microwave. The temp was then measured as 164 degrees F. It was placed on the cart and went out of the kitchen. The chicken broth was placed on the cart. EI #3 was asked if she took the temperature of it. She said she did not. It was re-heated in the microwave and was 201 degrees F. On 03/14/13 at 9:45 AM, EI #1 was asked what the potential harm was if food did not reach the proper temp. She said it is to kill harmful bacteria.
