- F Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, staff interview, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure equipment, floors, walls and ceiling surfaces were clean and in good repair, beard guards were worn while serving food, and hands were washed between touching soiled and clean dishes when operating the dish machine. These failures had the potential to cause food-borne illnesses for 136 of 136 residents who received meals prepared in the facility's kitchen.
- F Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, staff interview, and document review, the facility failed to have an effective pest control program to prevent an infestation in the kitchen and in resident rooms. This failure could cause a decrease in quality of life, contamination of food, and transmission of disease for all residents in the facility.
- E Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies.
Inspectors wroteBased on resident and staff interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to provide residents and their Resident Representatives (RR) with the required written transfer and bed-hold notices following emergent hospital transfers for four of four residents (Resident (R) 4, R3, R11, and R141) reviewed for hospitalization out of 32 sampled residents. The facility also failed to ensure the required information was communicated to the hospital at the time of the transfer. These failures created a risk that residents and their RRs would be uninformed about the reason and location of the transfer, their right to appeal, and the bed-hold process, increasing the potential for denial of readmission and loss of the resident's home following hospitalization.
- D Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interview, and review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Manual, the facility failed to encode and transmit Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) system for two residents (Resident (R) 42 and R124) out of 32 sampled residents. This failure prevented the transmission of resident-specific information used for payment, quality measures, and ongoing clinical data analysis.
- D Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interviews, policy review, and review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Manual, the facility failed to ensure an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) was submitted to include the correct Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASSAR) II status for one of three residents (Resident (R) 5) reviewed for PASARR out of 32 sampled residents. This deficient practice had the potential to place R5 at risk of inaccurate assessments and care planning.
- D Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident's fingernails were kept clean and properly trimmed for one of one resident (Resident (R) 12) reviewed for activities of daily living (ADLs) out of 32 sampled residents. This failure created a potential risk of infection, injury, and compromised personal hygiene.

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure.
