discharged residents (Residents #2, #470, #471, #478, and #479) within five days following
discharge and failed to convey the remaining resident balance to the state or the probate
jurisdiction administering the resident’s estate within 30 days of death for 14 residents

and #477), in a review of 19 additional residents. The facility census was 107.
1. Review of the facility’s guidelines for maintaining the resident funds account policy,
dated [DATE], showed the following:
-Remaining personal funds for a deceased resident: Upon death of a resident, we will first
contact the Probate court. If there is not an estate, then we are required by law to
submit a written account of the remaining personal funds for any deceased resident who has
received aid, care, assistance or services paid by the Department of Social Services. For
purposes of this guideline, personal funds of the deceased resident shall include all the
resident’s remaining personal funds held in whatever title the account or accounts may be
known. This includes general account. Since we collect patient surplus in advance, if a
resident expires before the end of the month, many times they will end up with a credit
balance on the books. When this happens, you should request a refund check made payable to
the resident trust fund for the resident. The check would be deposited into the trust fund
and reported along with any other remaining trust fund balance to the Division of Medical
Services. The regulation requires that this is done within 60 days of death. The
regulation should not be violated.
-Remaining personal funds for a discharged resident. If a resident discharges and the
facility was their representative payee, any and all funds in the resident trust account,
cash on hand or in the operations account-the conserved funds are to be returned to social
security. The facility has five calendar days to give a complete accounting of personal
funds and the balance of the funds to be compliant with state regulations.

human being with unique characteristics and strengths;
-The care plan should be revised on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in the resident
and the care that the resident is receiving;
-The effectiveness of the care plan must be evaluated from its initiation and modified as
necessary;
-Changes to the care plan should occur as needed in accordance with professional standards
of practice and documentation. The interdisciplinary team members should communicate as
needed about care plan changes;

admission (but no later than Day 14) and the results are used in planning and providing
appropriate care to attain or maintain the highest practicable well-being;
-Facilities have seven days after completing the admission RAI assessment to develop or
revise the resident’s care plan;
-Minimum Data Set (MDS), federally mandated assessment instruments, completed by facility
staff, are not required for minor or temporary variations in resident status – in these
cases, the resident’s condition is expected to return to baseline within two weeks.
However, staff must note these transient changes in the resident’s status in the
resident’s record and implement necessary assessment, care planning, and clinical
interventions, even though an MDS assessment is not required.
2. Review of the facility’s comprehensive care plan policy, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed
the following:
-An individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable goals and time frames
will be developed to meet the resident’s highest practicable physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being;
-The interdisciplinary care plan team with input from the resident, family, and/or legal
representative will develop and maintain a comprehensive care plan for each resident that
identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. The

Observation and interview on 3/19/18 at 1:10 P.M. showed Dietary Staff Q scooped cooked
black-eye peas into a small pan. He/she removed six servings of peas with a #8 scoop into
the pan and then dumped the peas into the blender bowl. Dietary Staff Q said the recipe
called for adding 1 tablespoon of food thickener per portion, so he/she could add 6
tablespoons in total. He/she liked to start with 3 tablespoons first and see how the
mixture looked. Observation showed he/she added 3 tablespoons of thickener to the peas and
started the blender. Dietary Staff Q stopped the blender after approximately 30 seconds,
added one more tablespoon of thickener then re-started the blender. After approximately 30
seconds, he/she added one more tablespoon and re-started the blender. After approximately
30 seconds had passed, he/she stopped the blender and added one more tablespoon for a
total of 6 tablespoons and re-started the blender. After approximately 30 seconds, he/she
stopped the blender and said the mixture should be smooth and a texture of refried beans
or mashed potato consistency. The mixture appeared to be thick, dense, and pasty.
3. During an interview on 3/20/18 at 10:30 A.M., the Dietary Manager said staff was to
utilize recipe books, weekly menu lists and diet spreadsheets to know how to prepare food
items as well as how to know what items need to be prepared for each meal.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff
followed dietary menus by not preparing or serving pureed potatoes to the residents on a
physician-ordered pureed diet. The facility also failed to ensure gravy was prepared and
served over the meatloaf for all residents on a pureed or mechanical soft
physician-ordered diet. The facility census was 107.
1. Record review of the facility Diet Report, dated 3/19/18, showed six residents in the
facility had a physician-ordered pureed diet.
Record review of the facility diet spreadsheet (Fall/Winter (YEAR), Week 5, Day 30) for
lunch on 3/19/18, showed residents on a physician-ordered pureed diet were to receive a

a resident on a pureed diet.
Observation on 3/19/18 at 12:23 P.M. showed meal service had been completed. All residents
on a pureed diet received a whole peeled baked potato and did not receive pureed baked
potatoes as directed by the dietary spreadsheet.
2. Record review of the facility diet report, dated 3/19/18, showed six residents had a
physician ordered pureed diet and 14 residents had a physician order [REDACTED].>Record
review of the facility diet spreadsheet (Fall/Winter (YEAR), Week 5 Day 30) for lunch on
3/19/18, showed the following:
-Residents on a pureed diet were to receive a #8 scoop of pureed meatloaf and 2-ounces of
gravy;
-Residents on a mechanical soft diet were to receive a #8 scoop of ground meatloaf and
2-ounces of gravy.
Observation on 3/19/18 at 11:11 A.M. showed Dietary Staff P started plating lunch trays in
the kitchen. Further observation showed pureed meatloaf and ground meatloaf were visible
on the steamtable; however, no gravy was observed on the steam table.
Observation on 3/19/18 at 11:32 A.M. showed Dietary Staff P plated a mechanical soft diet
tray with a #8 scoop of ground meatloaf. No gravy or sauce was placed on the ground meat
or anywhere on the tray.
Observation on 3/19/18 at 11:34 A.M. showed Dietary Staff P plated a pureed tray with a #8
scoop of pureed meatloaf, however, no sauce or gravy was placed on the meatloaf.
Observation on 3/19/18 at 12:23 P.M. showed meal service had been completed. All residents
on a pureed diet or on a mechanical soft diet received the appropriate texture of
meatloaf; however, no gravy or sauce was prepared or served with the pureed meatloaf or
the ground meatloaf as directed by the dietary spreadsheet.
3. During an interview on 3/20/18 at 10:30 A.M., the Dietary Manager said staff was
expected to utilize recipe books, weekly menu lists and diet spreadsheets to know how to
prepare food items correctly and how to know what items need to be prepared for each meal.
Residents on a pureed diet were supposed to have been given a whole baked potato with the
skin removed. The gravy wasn’t prepared because the residents don’t like the brown gravy
on the meatloaf and just prefer ketchup. The Dietary Manager confirmed the dietary
spreadsheet showed the mechanical and pureed diets indicated gravy was supposed to be
served with the meatloaf.
During an interview on 3/20/18 at 11:20 A.M., the facility’s Dietician said residents on a
pureed diet should not have received a whole peeled baked potato for lunch. The potato
should have been pureed or should have been substituted for instant mashed potatoes.
Residents on both mechanical and pureed diets should have been served gravy on top of the
ground meatloaf and on top of the pureed meatloaf. Ketchup would not provide the same
nutritional content as gravy would provide. Gravy should have been prepared and served.

wash their hands as much as possible during working hours and in between glove use. He/she
said the facility had some newer dietary staff members that probably needed some
additional training. Dishware, utensils etc. that has been washed, should be air dried and
not dried with paper towels. Freezers should be maintained at 0 degrees F or colder.
Temperatures were checked twice a day (at approximately 4:30 A.M. and 4:00 or 5:00 P.M.)
If temperatures were elevated, he/she would have someone look at the unit. He/she thought
some items on the top shelf of the freezer in the maintenance shop were blocking the air
vents from working correctly. Staff personal items and beverages should not be in the food
preparation areas. In the past, he had allowed drinks with lids in the kitchen, but
beverages were not supposed to be in a food preparation area.
6. During an interview on 3/20/18 at 11:20 A.M., the facility’s dietician said dishware
should be air dried and not towel dried. Freezer temperatures should be maintained at 0

touching items with soiled hands and gloves, and when indicated by professional standards
of practice during personal care for one resident (Residents #74), in a review of 22
sampled residents. The facility also failed to apply appropriate contact precautions for a
resident (Resident #209) with [MEDICAL CONDITION] ([MEDICAL CONDITION], a bacterium that
causes diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as [MEDICAL CONDITION].) The
facility census was 107.
1. Review of the facility’s Handwashing Policy from the Nursing Guideline Manual, dated
(MONTH) (YEAR), showed the following:
-Purpose: To reduce transmission of organisms from resident to resident, nursing staff to
resident and resident to nursing staff;
-Equipment: Soap, comfortably hot water, and disposable hand towel;
-Guidelines: Turn on water and adjust temperature, soap hands well, rub hands briskly,
paying special attention to area between fingers. Use a brush to clean under nails as
necessary. Rinse with hands lowered to allow soiled water to drain directly into the sink.
Do not splash water onto clothing. Do not allow hands to touch sink. Use disposable hand
towel to turn off faucet and dry hands well, especially between fingers. Apply moisture
barrier if desired.
2. Review of the facility’s policy, Gloves from the Nursing Guidelines Manual, dated
(MONTH) (YEAR), showed the following:
-Wear gloves when it can be reasonably anticipated that hands will be in contact with
mucous membranes, non-intact skin, any moist body substances (blood, urine, feces, wound
drainage, oral secretions, sputum, vomitus, or items/surfaces soiled with these
substances) and/or persons with a rash. Gloves must be changed between residents and
between contacts with different body sites of the same resident;
-REMEMBER: Gloves are not a cure-all. They should reduce the likelihood of contaminating
the hands, but gloves cannot prevent penetrating injuries due to needles or sharp objects.
Dirty gloves are worse than dirty hands because microorganisms adhere to the surface of a
glove easier than to the skin on your hands. Handling medical equipment and devices with
contaminated gloves is not acceptable;
-Change gloves between contacts (as defined above) with different residents or with
different body sites of the same resident.
3. Review of the facility’s policy on [MEDICAL CONDITIONS], from the Infection Control
Manual, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed the following:
-Purpose: To provide guidelines for the care of persons with [MEDICAL CONDITION] and to
prevent the transmission of [MEDICAL CONDITION] to others;
-Equipment: Gloves, gown, disinfectant (ensure disinfectant kills [MEDICAL CONDITION]
spores), and biohazard waste containers;
-Prevention: Wash the resident’s hands when soiled with feces, after they handle items
which may be contaminated and before self-feeding;
-Wear gowns when potential for soiling of clothing is likely;
-Disinfect any visible fecal contamination;
-Contain all fecal soiling;
-The resident’s clothing and bedding should be placed in a biohazard container and
laundered separately;
-All focally contaminated articles must be considered potentially infectious.
4. Review of the facility’s policy on body substance precautions regarding resident
placement, activity restriction, and the use of private rooms for infection control, dated

the 100 hall. There was no personal protective equipment inside or outside the room.
During an interview on 3/20/18 at 10:35 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J said he/she
was the charge nurse on the resident’s unit. The resident was admitted on [DATE] and
tested positive for [MEDICAL CONDITION]. To his/her knowledge, the resident had never been
on any precautions. LPN J had never observed any personal protective equipment (PPE) such
as gowns, gloves, disinfectants, or biohazard bags or barrels inside or outside of the
resident’s room. The resident was moved to a different room on the same unit either one or
two days ago, after he/she went into another resident’s room and flooded the toilet with
either a brief or clothing. LPN J had not observed any PPE or biohazards bags or barrels
inside or outside of either room.

Technician (CNA/CMT) K said he/she had not observed any PPE or biohazard bags or barrels
inside or outside of the resident’s room. When a resident was on precautions for [MEDICAL
CONDITION], it meant staff should wear a gown and gloves when working with the resident in
their room. Usually these items were placed on a cart outside of the resident’s room and
biohazard bags were placed in the resident’s room for clothing, linen, and trash. CNA/CMT
K had not seen these items in the resident’s room but thought the resident had been
positive for [MEDICAL CONDITION] when he/she was first admitted . CNA/CMT K said the
resident required assistance in the bathroom and was incontinent of bowel at times, but

During an interview on 3/20/18 at 11:50 A.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)
said the resident was on contact precautions for [MEDICAL CONDITION].
Observation and interview on 3/20/18 at 11:55 A.M. with the ADON of both the resident’s
current and previous rooms showed no PPE or biohazard bags or barrels in either room. The
ADON said maybe the PPE and biohazard barrels were not moved with the resident when
his/her room was changed.
During interview 03/20/18 at 1:09 P.M., CNA H said he/she started two weeks ago and worked
the 100 short hall last week where the resident resided. There were no PPE inside or
outside the resident’s room at that time. CNA H said he/she heard this resident had
[MEDICAL CONDITION]. Another staff told him/her this resident should have PPE available
when providing care.
During interview 03/20/18 at 2:10 P.M., CNA I said he/she was not aware of any precautions
for the resident. He/she was just asked to come and help on the hall where the resident
resided.
During an interview on 3/21/18 at 10:10 A.M., the Director of Nursing said the resident
was admitted to the facility with [MEDICAL CONDITION] and was originally placed in a room
on the 200 hall and was on contact precautions at that time. Contact precautions for
[MEDICAL CONDITION] consisted of PPE outside or inside of the resident’s room as well as
biohazard container for the resident’s laundry and trash. The resident was moved
approximately five days to a week ago to a different room on a different hall in the
facility after another resident had complained of him/her opening up his/her room door.
The DON thought the resident remained on contact precautions after the first room change.
The resident was again moved to another room on the same hall the night of 3/18/18, after
he/she went into another resident’s room and flooded his/her toilet by attempting to flush
a brief or item of clothing. The DON said he/she thought this second room change was when
staff did not move the contact precaution items along with the resident. The DON said
he/she felt it was a breakdown in communication among staff.
