Based on record review, interview, and observation, the facility failed to prevent an accident during a transfer for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accident hazards. (Resident B) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 08/27/2026 at 11:00 A.M. An Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 06/10/2026, indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, morbidly obese (excessive amount of body fat), and depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness) . The resident was dependent (required a mechanical device to move) with transfers. A Progress Note, dated 08/07/2026 at 10:22 P.M., indicated Resident B was transferred to the local hospital after a mechanical lift flipped over landing on top of the resident. During an interview, on 08/27/2026 at 9:28 A.M., Resident B indicated he was dropped while being transferred from his wheelchair to his bed a few weeks ago. He was lifted out of his wheelchair and while the two staff members positioned him over his bed the mechanical lift flipped over landing him on the floor next to his bed. He was unsure what the lift was caught on that caused the tip, but the two staff members were talking and laughing with each other while operating the lift. During an interview, on 08/27/2026 at 3:05 P.M., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 indicated she assisted Resident B to bed when he fell while in the mechanical lift. While CNA 2 was pushing the mechanical lift towards the resident's bed she met resistance with the wheels. She switched places with the second CNA to attempt to push past the resistance and when they attempted to force the lift forward, a second time, the mechanical lift tipped over dropping Resident B. During an interview and observation, on 08/27/2026 at 2:48 P.M., the Maintenance Supervisor demonstrated with the mechanical lift involved from the fall incident that when the mechanical lift was pulled backwards sometimes the feet of the lift close slowly. If the leg of the lift was bumped on anything the feet would close. There was no locking mechanism on the lift to lock the feet in the widespread position. If the feet of the lift closed, the lift would lose its balance/strength to prevent from tipping over. The lift was taken out of service after the incident and the facility had all new mechanical lift devices at that time. A current undated facility policy titled, Lifting Machine - using a Mechanical, was provided by the Administrator on 08/27/2026 at 4:27 P.M. The policy indicated, .principles of safe lifting using a mechanical lift device .clear an unobstructed path for the lift machine . This deficiency was corrected on 08/13/2026, after the facility provided education to all staff related to operating the mechanical lift and began ongoing monitoring audits to watch staff complete mechanical lift transfers.

1 findingInspection of August 4, 2026
1 findingBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all mechanical, electrical, equipment was maintained in safe operating condition related to the heat source in a resident's room for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for environment. (Resident D) Findings include:During an interview and observation, on 08/03/2026 at 9:14, Resident D indicated his ceiling caved in on him over a month ago. They moved him to a new room while repairs were being made to the ceiling, but he had been back in his room for about a month now. The ceiling was observed over Resident D's bed with approximately an 8 foot by 8-foot section of drywall with new white plaster covering it blending it in with aged cream-colored plaster along the privacy curtain and extending all the way to above the residents exterior window and wall above his headboard. During an interview, on 08/04/2026 at 9:14 A.M., the Maintenance Director indicated that when he entered Resident D's room after the incident there was a 4-foot by 4-foot piece of drywall detached from the ceiling and a 4-foot by 4-foot section dangling down held on by wires from the ceiling. The building had electrical heating that was wired through the ceiling. The entire building had drywall on the ceiling and then electrical wiring attached to the drywall covered up by plaster. The wiring was connected to the thermostats in the resident's room and that's what heats the residents room. Each room had its own breaker for that system, so he cut the breaker out for Resident D's room as soon as he arrived at the facility the morning, he was told the ceiling fell. The room currently had no heat available in it, and he was unsure what the facility was going to do to fix it before winter, but the room would need a new heat source. The drywall was repaired without repairing the electric heat. During an interview, on 08/04/2026 at 11:10 A.M., the Administrator was unaware that Resident D's repaired room had no heat capability now and had no current plan as to how they would administer heat in the resident's room when it was cold. Review of the clinical record for Resident D on 08/04/2026 at 10:40 A.M., indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to anxiety (feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness) and depression (mood disorder characterized by persistent sadness). A Progress Note, dated 06/11/2026 at 9:04 A.M., indicated Resident D was moved to a new room while the original room was under construction. A Progress Note, dated 07/10/2026 at 10:31 A.M., indicated Resident D was moved back into his original room. An Invoice, dated 08/03/2026, indicated the facility paid for drywall ceiling repair in a resident's room. The current undated facility policy titled, Resident Rights, was provided by the Administrator on 08/04/2026 at 2:31 P.M. The policy indicated, .Federal and state laws guarantee basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights include the residents right to: A. a dignified existence .kk. equal access to quality of care . The current facility policy, dated 03/2015, titled, Maintenance Administration, was provided by the Administrator on 08/04/2026 at 1:17 P.M. The policy indicated, .

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an effective pest control program was maintained and the facility was free of gnats. This deficient practice had the potential to affect 47 of 48 residents residing in the facility. Findings include:During an observation and interview, on 07/21/25 at 8:07 A.M., in the kitchen there were multiple gnats observed flying in the air near the dry food storage area. Upon entering the dry storage room, the number of gnats increased. Five gnats landed on an unopened bag of cereal on a shelf at eye level. Three gnats landed on an unopened can of cheese approximately four feet off the ground on a metal shelf. A blue light was in the dry food storage area, plugged into the wall inside the doorway. The device was approximately two inches wide by five inches long. It had a plastic cover housing the blue light and a tacky substance strip on the inside covered in an abundance of dead gnats. Kitchen Staff 3 indicated the gnats had been an ongoing problem for months within the kitchen. A company came in to clean the drains and spray three days prior, and the number of gnats currently was mild compared to what it was. During an interview, on 07/21/25 at 9:37 A.M., the Dietary Manager indicated the gnat problem wasn't as bad when he started in February but had increased since the weather had warmed up. There was an issue with the drain in the kitchen clogging up from food. A plumber came in and cleaned it out approximately two months ago. Approximately one and a half weeks ago a chemical supplier came in and hooked up a line to keep chemicals in the drain constantly to prevent food from clogging it. It had been an ongoing problem in the kitchen. During an observation, on 07/21/25 at 11:22 A.M., while in the kitchen three gnats were visualized on the outside plastic of a hotdog bun package partially used and resealed. Multiple other gnats were observed flying in the air. The hotdog bun package was sitting at the end of the food preparation table behind the steam tables used for serving residents. Approximately more than 50 gnats were surrounding a commercial sized coffee machine actively brewing a pot of coffee on the left side of the kitchen's refrigerator.

She reviewed the weights, and the RD did as well. If a resident's weight changed by three to five pounds or more in a month, she would obtain a reweigh. Then, once she had the weights in, she would look at them to see who was triggering for a 5% or 10% weight loss or gain over the last 30 or 180 days. When she identified those individuals, she looked to see if it was a desired weight loss, if it was edema (swelling), or if a resident was trying to lose weight. She also communicated that to the NP (Nurse Practitioner) and the RD. The RD reviewed the residents' weights when she was in the building and the DON would alert her to any significant weight changes for the residents. If it was not a desired weight loss and the DON felt a resident needed a supplement, she would talk to the NP to ensure the residents got an order for what they needed. When a resident had significant weight loss, the staff should address the concerns right away. The NP was in every week and the staff communicated significant weight changes to her.

(Resident B) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 5/23/17 at 10:00 AM. The Care Plan for falls indicated the resident was at risk for falls related to the need for extensive assistance with ambulation, transfers, and bed mobility. The resident had multiple documented falls, the two most recent dated 4/26/17 & 5/2/17. Interventions for this care area included assist of one staff to ambulate in room, corridor, and on/off unit with her walker; all staff were to monitor the resident using the walker while walking as resident was unsteady; and intervene as needed,. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly Review assessment, dated 3/21/17, indicated Resident B had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11, which indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. The [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident required extensive, one person assistance for bed mobility, transfers, walking in the room and corridor. The resident was not steady on her feet, was only able to stabilize with human assistance for moving from seated to standing position, and walked with assistive device.
