Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to store, prepare, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when: 1. Employees were unable to demonstrate the correct concentration for sanitation solution, 2. Several pots, pans, bowls, and trays were found stacked wet (in ready to use areas), 3. Two frying pans were found darkened, stained, and scratched, 4. Three ladles, two saucepans, and a colander were found stored with a white film covering the food contact surfaces, 5. Two sandwiches stored in the refrigerator had missing information on label, and an opened gelatin container lacked any labeling, 6. Broken, chipped tiles and missing paint found on floor of kitchen and storeroom, 7. Frozen sausage patties were left open to the environment in freezer and a bag of penne pasta was not properly secured in the dry storage, 8. [...]
- E Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards of care were followed for three of 23 sampled residents (Resident 3, Resident 31, and Resident 45), for a census of 54, when: 1. Resident 3's weight change was not reported to the physician as ordered; 2. Resident 45's weight changes were not reported to the physician as ordered; 3. Resident 31's arm circumference and catheter length were not recorded during midline catheter (a thin, soft tube placed into a large vein in the upper arm) dressing change as ordered; 4. Resident 31's Midodrine (medication used to treat low blood pressure) doses were administered outside the blood pressure parameters; and, 5. Resident 31's Midodrine administration records were altered. [...]
- E Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review food was not prepared by methods that conserve nutritive value, flavor, and appearance when 1) recipes were not followed, and 2) hot food was not consistently provided to residents in the 2nd hall. This failure had the potential to lead to poor intake, nutrient deficiencies, and malnutrition for the 51 residents eating facility-prepared foods.
- E Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies, intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the alternative food options provided to residents who choose the peanut butter and jelly (PB&J), or grilled cheese sandwiches were not of similar nutritive value to the main entree. This failure had the possibility of leading to malnutrition and weight loss.
- E Have a policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility lacked a dedicated refrigerator for storing food brought for residents by family or visitors. This failure had the potential to limit food intake due to the inability to store preferred foods.
- E Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program for a census of 54 when: 1. Dust particles were observed on the vents above the clean linen area and the fan blades had accumulated blackish particles; 2. The log for lint cleaning was incomplete and clean items were stored in the soiled linen area; 3. The utility room was used to store medical supplies and containers used for soiled linens/trash; and, 4. A container of opened and unlabeled distilled water (a purified water that's been boiled to remove impurities and minerals) was observed on the floor for Resident 53. These failures increased the risk for cross contamination (movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to another).
- D Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a clean and homelike environment was provided for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 5), when the floor in Resident 5's room was left sticky, stained, and dirty. This failure increased the potential for Resident 5 not attaining her highest practicable well-being.
- D Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the care plan for the use of anticoagulant (medication that prevent or delay formation of blood clots) was implemented for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 3), for a census of 54. This failure increased the risk for Resident 3 to experience serious side effects.
- D Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper treatment to maintain vision ability was provided for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 24) when Resident 24's prescription was not carried out as ordered by the eye doctor. This failure had the potential to cause deterioration of Resident 24's vision.

- E Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and review of facility documents, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety when: 1.

- D Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the needed care or services for one of 17 sampled residents (Resident 27) when, 1. Resident 27's toenails were not trimmed, 2. No toenail care plan was done for Resident 27, and, 3. No referral for a podiatrist was done for Resident 27. These failures had the potential for Resident 27 to not meet her highest practicable well-being.
- D Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to conduct a medication regimen review (MRR) for one of 17 sampled residents (Resident 27) when Resident 27 was receiving an anti-coagulant (blood thinner) medication. This failure had the potential for Resident 27 to experience a negative outcome from medication administration.
- D Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility did not ensure the medication error rate was less than 5% when a resident (Resident 40) was not given the prescribed amount of water when receiving medications via a gastrostomy tube (medical device inserted into the stomach to provide nutrients, medication, and hydration). This failure resulted in two medication errors being identified out of 35 opportunities, resulting in a medication error rate of 5.71% for the facility.
