The response from the nurse was that because it was a weekend, they would have to wait until Monday before they could talk to the doctor. The FM said that they tried to tell Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN) that the resident needed a UA but the conversation became confrontational. On 10/16/25 at 12:32 PM, Staff A, RN said that she had worked the Saturday of 9/6/25, and she did not get any reports from the previous shift that Resident #1 was having UTI symptoms. She said there was another family member that was in the resident's room when she administered medications to Resident #1 and her husband the morning of 9/6/25. The family member asked if anyone had passed on that the resident was having burning with urination. Staff A responded that she was not aware of that, then asked the resident if she was having abdominal pain or burning when she urinated. The resident told her she had a little burning. Staff A then told the family that she would go back and look at the nursing notes and charting to see if there was anything noted. Staff A maintained that the resident was a-febrile (no elevated temperature) and she did not have abnormal confusion. Staff A said that since it was a Saturday, the only option they had was to send Resident #1 to the Emergency Department (ED) and she did not show symptoms that warranted an ED visit. Staff A said that they do not have an on-call doctor to get treatment orders after hours, and this situation did not warrant going to the ED. Staff A said that she passed it on in report on the 6th to continue to monitor for UTI symptoms. On 10/16/25 at 12:30 PM Staff C, RN said the family had a history of requesting UA's when the resident was having confusion only and not any other symptoms.

Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to incorporate the recommendations from the Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) evaluation report into a resident's assessment, care planning, and transition of care for 1 resident reviewed (Resident #78). The facility reported a census of 89 residents. Findings include: According to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], Resident #78 scored 12 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) indicating moderate cognitive impairment. The resident's diagnoses included schizophrenia. The MDS documented no to question A1500 indicating the resident was not currently considered by the state Level 2 PASRR process to have serious mental illness. The Notice of Level 2 PASRR Outcome dated 8/2/24 documented the resident met inclusion for PASRR based on her diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and delusional disorder, and her need for help taking care of herself. Since the evaluation determined the resident had a PASRR condition, the facility should mark yes for question A1500 on the MDS. The resident fell into the category of having a diagnosis that the PASRR program was designed to assess. The condition was likely to require treatment in the future. The diagnosis was a mental health condition. The resident needed the following services and/or supports: a. Evaluation for a diagnosis of neurocognitive disorder/dementia, or other organic mental disorder. (1) The resident would benefit from having an evaluation of dementia or other organic mental disorder due to your increased confusion and memory loss. b.

Based on staff documentation, staff interview, policy review, & observations, the facility failed to ensure resident dishes and kitchen equipment reached the appropriate sanitizing hot temperature when utilizing the dish machine to reduce the risk of bacteria growth and cross contamination with 3 out of 4 dish machines in the facility. The facility failed to ensure food thermometers were sanitized appropriately when obtained food temperatures. The facility reported a census of 90 residents. Findings include: 1. During kitchen observations on 5/8/24at 12:30pm, the first-floor kitchen dish machine temperature log reviewed. For the month of May (the 1st through the 7th), 4 days were completely filled out, 2 days were left completely blank, and 1 day partially completed. No temperatures were documented for May 8th. Rinse temperatures that were written down noted between 160-185 . For the month of April, 24 days were completely filled out, 5 days were partially completed, and no temperatures documented for 1 day. Rinse temperatures written down noted between 170-185 . For the month of March, 26 days were completely filled out and 5 days were partially completed. Rinse temperatures noted between 170-185 . No documentation noted indicating the use of high temperature test strips to ensure the dish machine reached 180 . With staff present, dish machine ran twice with a rinse temperature noted at 180 . The second-floor kitchen dish machine temperature log reviewed. For the month of May (the 1st through the 7th), 2 days were completely filled out and 5 days were partially completed. No temperatures were documented for May 8th. Rinse temperatures noted between 170-180 . For the month of April, 3 days were completely filled out, 26 days were partially completed, and no temperatures documented for 1 day. Rinse temperatures noted between 160-180 . No documentation noted indicating the use of high temperature test strips to ensure the dish machine reached 180 . No temperature logs could be found for the months of March or February. With staff present, dish machine ran twice with a rinse temperature noted at 180 . The lower level dish machine temperature logs reviewed for the months of May and April. Temperatures were documented appropriately with rinse temperatures within the appropriate range. The kitchen dish machine temperature logs reviewed. For the month of May (the 1st thru the 7th) 7 days were completely filled out. May 8th noted partially completed for the day. Rinse temperatures noted between 170-184 . For the month of April, 30 days were completely filled out. Rinse temperatures noted between 170-190 . For the month of March, 31 days were completely filled out. Rinse temperatures noted between 164-191 . No documentation noted indicating the use of high temperature test strips to ensure the dish machine reached 180 . The dish machine was ran twice. During the washing and rinsing process, the rinse temperature gauge did not move and unable to obtain the final rinse temperature. When asking dietary staff about the temperature gauges and which gauged was used for documenting temperature, staff was not able to accurately report which gauge was used to documented the rinse temperature. Staff pointed to both the final rinse temperature gauge and the rinse holding tank temperature. When asked about the rinse temperature not working properly, staff voiced he had told them about it not working. Staff did not indicate who exactly was notified. The dish machine was ran one time using at a high temperature test strip. After the cycle, the test strip observed to be orange, indicating the rinse temperature was at least 180 . During staff interview with Staff I, Dietary Manager, on 5/8/24 from 1230pm- 130pm, dish machine temperature logs are to be completed with each shift, 3 times per day. Staff I verbalized rinse temperatures were to reach 180 to properly sanitize. Documented temperatures should reflect that dish machines reach 180 . If machines do not reach the appropriate temperature, staff should inform her for further follow-up. Staff I was not aware of any issues with the floor dish machines nor the rinse temperature gauge on the kitchen machine. With regards to the improper temperatures documented, Staff I was unsure if these temperatures were reading from the first run of the dish machine for the day or after it had been sitting idle for some time. If this was the case, the expectation would be for staff to run the machine several times to ensure the proper rinse temperature was reached. At that point, staff should document that temperature. During a follow-up visit on 5/8/24 at 4pm, Staff I reported that a [NAME] Brothers technician came out this afternoon, repaired the kitchen's dish machine rinse temperature gauge, and increased the water temperature of the dish machine on the second floor. A second observation of the kitchen dish machine made and the machine ran. The rinse temperature gauge was working with a rinse temperature of >180 obtained. The undated policy Cleaning Dishes & Utensils: Dish Machine Operations regarding dish machine temperatures indicates that the final rinse temperature for a high temperature dish machine should reach minimum of 170 . Signs posted in the kitchen areas on each resident floor as well as the dish machine itself all show that final rinse temperatures should be 180 .
