Level of harm – Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Residents Affected – Some

Assure the security of all personal funds of residents deposited with the facility.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain a surety bond, to
assure the security of all personal funds of residents deposited with the facility, of one
and one-half times the average monthly balance of resident funds, to ensure protection of
resident funds. The census was 138.
Review of the facility’s Resident Trust General Ledger (cash sheet) for the period of
(MONTH) (YEAR) through (MONTH) (YEAR), showed an average monthly balance of $66,000, which
would require a bond of $103,500.00.
Review of the Department of Health and Senior Services approved bond list, showed the
facility had an approved bond for $100,000.
During an interview on 1/18/19 at 11:44 A.M., the Business Office Manager said the
corporate office is responsible for ensuring the bond is sufficient enough to cover the
resident funds. The month of (MONTH) was higher than the other months because both (MONTH)
and September’s social security was deposited in August. The resident’s social security
for (MONTH) (YEAR) was deposited on 8/31/18. She would expect the resident funds to be
fully covered by the bond amount.
Review of the resident funds deposit for (MONTH) and (MONTH) (YEAR), showed an amount of
$105,922.94.
During an interview on 1/22/18 at 10:45 A.M., the administrator said the corporate office
is responsible for increasing the bond; however, she would expect the bond to be
sufficient to cover the resident’s money and to cover the amount in case there was another
double deposit.

Level of harm – Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Residents Affected – Some

Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for
services not covered.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a Skilled Nursing
Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNFABN – form CMS- ) or a denial letter at the
initiation, reduction, or termination of Medicare Part A benefits for three sampled
residents who remained in the facility upon discharge from Medicare Part A services
(Residents #192, #61 and #127). The sample was 27. The facility census was 138.
Record review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Survey and Certification
memo (S&C -09-20), dated 1/9/09, showed the following:
-The Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage (NOMNC – form CMS- ) is issued when all
covered Medicare services end for coverage reasons;
-If the skilled nursing facility (SNF) believes on admission or during a resident’s stay
that Medicare will not pay for skilled nursing or specialized rehabilitative services and
the provider believes that an otherwise covered item or service may be denied as not
reasonable or necessary, the facility must inform the resident or his/her legal
representative in writing why these specific services may not be covered and the
beneficiary’s potential liability for payment for the non-covered services. The SNF’s
responsibility to provide notice to the resident can be fulfilled by use of either the
SNFABN (form CMS- ) or one of the five uniform denial letters;
-The SNFABN provides an estimated cost of items or services in case the beneficiary had to
pay for them his/herself or through other insurance they may have;

-If the SNF provides the beneficiary with either the SNFABN or a denial letter at the
initiation,
reduction, or termination of Medicare Part A benefits, the provider has met its obligation
to inform the beneficiary of his/her potential liability for payment and related standard
claim appeal rights. Issuing the NOMNC to a beneficiary only conveys notice to the
beneficiary of his/her right to an expedited review of a service termination.

of each department complete rounds and turn in the sheets to maintenance every day. If
there are repairs that needed to be completed then a work order is filled out. He would
expect staff to check the wall units in the resident’s room to ensure the protective
boarder is intact. He was not aware of the damaged protective boarder. He would expect
staff report any damage or stains to the walls and ceilings in the resident’s room.
7. During an interview on 1/22/19 at 10:39 A.M., the administrator said rounds are
completed seven days a week, and the head of the department complete the rounds Monday
through Friday. If there are any repairs that are needed, they are expected to fill out a

During an interview on 1/16/19 at 11:37 A.M., the resident said he/she should have been
receiving restorative therapy, but the restorative aides were too busy to get to him/her.
During an interview on 1/22/19 at 8:23 A.M., Restorative Aide (RA) G said restorative is
provided to residents in the program twice a week. The resident was on his/her caseload in
the past, but could not recall the last time he/she had seen the resident for therapy. At
8:40 A.M., RA G pulled his/her notes regarding the resident and said he/she had begun
restorative with the resident once since the resident had been referred to the program in
(MONTH) (YEAR). Restorative services were not provided in (MONTH) (YEAR) or (MONTH) 2019
by either of the RAs.
During an interview on 1/22/19 at 10:57 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said it is
expected for restorative orders to be followed. Nursing is ultimately responsible for
ensuring restorative services are provided as ordered. It is important to ensure

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare,
distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare,
distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service
safety. The facility failed to ensure there was an air gap to the ice machine, failed to
ensure the inside walk in cooler was free of water leaks and frost build up. Additionally,
staff failed to have proper sanitizing solution for the dish machine. These deficient
practices had the potential to affect all residents who ate at the facility. The facility
census was 138.

-Test the water temperature level, must be at 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F);
-Test the chlorine and chemical test strip, must be at 50 parts per million (ppm);
-At the end of the service the machine must be cleaned and delimed for the next day
service;
-If the temperature and the chlorine level are not at the correct setting please inform
the manager so that the repair person can be called out;
-This must happen before and after every meal service;
-At no time will the dishes be washed if these steps have not been followed.
During an observation and interview on 1/16/19 at 9:20 A.M., Dietary Aide H used the dish
machine to sanitize the dishes that were used during meal service. Dietary Aide H said the
dish machine used chemical and hot water temperature to sanitize the dishes. The machine
was tested daily with the use of a strip. He/she ran the dish machine and placed a test
strip inside the water that flowed out of the dish machine during the test cycle. The test
strip immediately turned light purple. He/she matched the test strip with the color tube.
He/she confirmed that the light purple test strip indicated it was 10 ppm. He/she ran a
second cycle and used a new test strip. The test strip turned light purple. He/she
confirmed that the second strip was 10 ppm. He/she said he/she did not know what range the
sanitizer should be or where to find the information on the dish machine. Dietary Aide H
said he/she could check the temperature by looking at the temperature gauge on the
machine. The temperature on the gauge showed 120 degrees F. He/she said staff only used
the gauge to check the temperature. There were no test strips or a thermometer. He/she
confirmed that if the sanitizer was low, he/she would get the dish machine serviced.
Further observation, showed a label on the front of the dish machine that showed the
sanitizer should be at least 50 ppm.
During an interview on 1/16/19 at 9:30 A.M., the dietary manager said they have had the
dish machine serviced three times because it was not properly sanitizing the dishes.
2. During an observation of the ice machine in the kitchen, showed:
-On 1/16/19 at 9:10 A.M., a collection of water inside the drain. The ice machine drain
pipe inside the drain and touched the water;
-On 1/17/19 at 10:50 A.M., 1/18/19 at 2:11 P.M., and 1/22/19 at 9:51 A.M., there was no
longer water build up inside the drain; however, water could be seen running out of the
pipe into the drain. The pipe lay directly inside the drain.
3. Observation of the inside of the walk-in cooler, showed:
-On 1/17/19 at 10:50 A.M., water dripped from four different areas of the ceiling on the
left side of the walk-in cooler. Water dripped onto the covered food. There was frost
build up along the bottom part of the door to the entrance of the walk-in freezer;
-On 1/18/19 at 2:11 P.M., there was frost build up along the bottom part of the door to
the entrance of the walk-in freezer;
-On 1/2/19 at 9:51 A.M., icicles approximately 2 inches formed on the ceiling on the left
side of the walk-in cooler. There was frost build up along the bottom part of the door to
the entrance of the walk-in freezer.
4. During an interview on 1/22/19 at 10:12 A.M., the dietary manager said she was not
aware of the need of an air gap from the ice machine pipe to drain; however, it was
problematic if the water traveled up the pipe. It would contaminate the ice. She would
expect staff to test the sanitizer of the dish machine before and after meal service. The
test strip should read 50 ppm. She would expect staff to know that the strip should read
50 ppm and to not use the dish machine if the sanitizer was less than 50 ppm. The dish
machine sanitize chemically, not with a hot water temperature. She would expect staff to
know that information. She was aware of the frost build up on the bottom of the door as

Provide bedrooms that don’t allow residents to see each other when privacy is needed.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure curtains were placed in
a resident’s room to ensure the resident and their roommate maintained their privacy and
dignity. This affected three residents (Resident #45, #74, and #27). The sample was 29.
The census was 138.
1. Observation on 1/16/19 at 10:33 A.M., 1/17/19 at 11:37 A.M., and 1/22/19 at 9:30 A.M.,
showed Resident #45’s room did not have a privacy curtain on either side of the room.
During an interview, the resident said he/she would like to have privacy. When his/her
roommate was not in the room that was when he/she would get dressed. He/she tried to
coordinate that time when the roommate was not the room.
2. Observation on 1/16/19 at 10:11 A.M., 1/17/19 at 11:59 A.M., 1/18/19 at 10:03 A.M.,
1/22/19 at 9:40 A.M., showed Resident #74’s room did not have a privacy curtain on either
side of the room. During an interview, the resident said he/she would like to have a
curtain.
3. Observation on 1/16/19 at 9:52 A.M., 1/17/19 at 11:45 A.M., 1/18/19 at 2:06 P.M., and
1/22/19 at 9:35 A.M., showed Resident #27’s room had a privacy curtain that was not able
to be pulled to cover the resident’s side of the room. Approximately 6 inches of the
curtain hung down, not connected to the hooks. There were seven hooks attached to the rail
that prevented the privacy curtain from closing. The resident said he/she would wait until
his/her roommate left the room if he/she wanted to get dressed. He/she would also go to
the shower room.
4. During an interview on 1/22/19 at 9:26 A.M., the maintenance supervisor said the head
of each department complete room checks on a daily basis. The sheets are turned in to
maintenance every day. Residents are expected to have a privacy curtain. Housekeeping is
responsible for putting up the privacy curtain. The maintenance staff is responsible for
installing the rails and the breakaways, which are the hooks. If the curtain was pulled,
the breakaway snaps so it does not damage the curtain. The breakaways are preventing
Resident #27’s curtain from closing.
5. During an interview on 1/22/19 at 10:39 A.M., the administrator said she would expect
staff to inspect the resident rooms for damages to the privacy curtain and to ensure that
each resident would have a privacy curtain. If the privacy curtain was pulled down, staff
are expected to make sure that the roommate had some privacy. The head of the each
department are expected to complete rounds Monday through Friday. The weekend managers
complete rounds on the entire building. A work order is filled out and turned into the
maintenance supervisor. There is a system in place, and maintenance has to prioritize the
work orders. The facility was aware of the missing privacy curtains. Residents #74 and #27
have a history of tearing down their privacy curtain, but there are no concerns that would
prevent them from having a privacy curtain.
