Inspection Findings:
Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents' right to be treated with dignity and respect for 1 of 2 sampled residents and two unsampled residents who received meal assistance and ADL care, and to receive services in a manner that protected privacy and dignity for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#8) who received care at bedside. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Meal service observations were made during the survey on 09/24/24. On 09/24/24 at 12:12 pm, meal observations were conducted in the facility's activities room, which served as a secondary dining area. Resident 8 and three unsampled residents were receiving meal assistance from Staff 8 (CG) and Staff 9 (CG).During the meal service, and while providing direct care to the residents, Staff 8 and Staff 9 continuously spoke to each other in a language other than which the residents could understand. The need to ensure residents' right to be treated with dignity and respect was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (LPN, Residential Services Coordinator) on 09/25/24. They acknowledge the findings.
2. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 04/2023 with diagnoses including dementia.The current service plan, dated 09/23/24 identified the resident had the following care needs:* Two-person assist for transfers using a hoyer lift; and* Full assist with toileting and perineal care. Observations of Resident 8's room revealed s/he shared a room with another resident. Staff 8 (CG), Staff 10 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) were observed providing incontinence care and transfer assistance from bed to wheelchair for Resident 8 while his/her roommate was in the room. There was no observable barrier between the two sides of the room that provided privacy and dignity during ADL cares.In addition, Staff 8, Staff 9 and Staff 22 continuously spoke to each other in a language that the resident could not understand. An interview at 12:00 pm on 09/25/24 Staff 3 (Lead MT) acknowledged that the staff were supposed to escort the resident outside of the room or use a privacy screen when assisting Resident 8. The need to ensure residents' right to be treated with dignity and respect, and receive services in a manner to protect privacy was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (LPN, Residential Services Coordinator) and Staff 3 on 09/25/24. They acknowledged the findings.
Plan of Correction:
1. Immediate staff training was completed with staff 8, 9 and 22 regarding Resident Rights and language barriers. Staff were reminded to speak in a language the resident's understand and the right to have privacy when being toileted or personal care is being performed. 2. All staff received retraining on Resident's Rights. Staff were directed to be speaking English around residents and not speaking to each other in Spanish to ensure the residents' rights are being met. All staff received retraining on the Right to Privacy. Partitions have been ordered for every room and will be kept in the closet for use unless the resident prefers to have them at all times.3. This will be audited daily on each shift by Med Tech. This will be audited throughout the week by management (ED, RSC, RSD, Lead Med Tech).4. The RSC will be responsible for ensuring this is completed and monitored.

Inspection Findings:
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure any incident of abuse or suspected abuse was reported to the local SPD office or the local AAA, promptly investigated all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and took measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#10) who incidents were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 09/2024 with diagnoses including bilateral osteoarthritis of knee, psychotic disturbance, and dementia.The resident's 09/20/24 service plan, 09/09/24 through 09/24/24 progress notes, an incident report, and Temporary Service Plans (TSP)'s were reviewed, and observations and interviews were conducted. The facility failed to immediately report abuse or suspected abuse to the local SPD office and promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse for the following incident:09/09/24 - Progress notes indicated Resident 10 was sitting on the couch in another resident's room when the Activity Director entered with one of the residents who occupied that room. When s/he was asked "politely" by staff to leave, Resident 10 began yelling and knocked the staff to the floor. "The other resident in the living room tried to intervene by yelling at [him/her] to stop before [Resident 10] got up in [his/her] face as well [sic] threatening to do something about [him/her] next." On 09/25/24 at 10:35 am, an interview with Staff 1 (ED) indicated she was not working at the time and confirmed the incident was not reported to the local SPD office. On 09/25/24 at 10:45 am, an interview with Staff 2 (LPN/Resident Services Coordinator), who was covering at the time, confirmed there was no investigation and he had not completed "a TSP because by the time I got there the residents had been separated out of that room", Resident 10's spouse got him/her to leave the room "and [Resident 10] was fine". The need to ensure all incidents of abuse were immediately reported to the local SPD office and investigated was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 09/25/24 at 12:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.On 09/25/24, survey requested the facility report the incident to the local SPD office, verification was received prior to exit.
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to investigate an injury of unknown cause or unwitnessed fall to rule out possible abuse or report to the local SPD office if abuse could not be ruled out for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#11) whose incidents were reviewed. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:Resident 11 was admitted to the memory care facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia.a. During the acuity interview on 12/30/24, the resident was identified as requiring full assistance with all ADLs, including a two-person assist for transfers and 1:1 assistance during meals.On 12/30/24 at 11:07 am, the resident was observed with a dressing on the left elbow area.A 12/24/24 Skin Impairment note showed "skin tear noted to left elbow".There was no documented evidence the facility conducted an investigation to determine the cause of the skin injury. The incident was not reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Residential Services Coordinator, LPN) report the incident to the local SPD office. A copy of confirmation that the report was sent to the SPD office was provided prior to exit.b. The resident's clinical record dated 11/01/24 through 12/19/24, and an 11/15/24 incident report were reviewed during the survey and revealed the following:* 11/15/24 progress note: "Resident on alert for an unwitnessed fall ..."; and* 11/15/24 incident report: the resident was found on the floor next to his/her bed. It appeared the resident slid off the side of the bed due to not being positioned properly in the center of the bed.The service plan dated 11/21/24 instructed staff to ensure the resident was positioned in the center of the bed before leaving the room after providing care. The plan was implemented on 10/11/24.There was no documented evidence indicating the facility determined how the incident was ruled out as abuse or neglect, especially since staff did not follow the service plan. The incident was not reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Residential Services Coordinator, LPN) report the incident to the local SPD office. A copy of confirmation that the report was sent to the SPD office was provided prior to exit.The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause and unwitnessed falls were immediately investigated by the facility, and if abuse was not able to be reasonably ruled out, the incidents were reported to the local SPD office, was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Lead MA) on 12/31/24 at 11:25 am.

Inspection Findings:
Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control protocols for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#8) who was observed receiving ADL care at bedside and meal assistance. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 04/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. The current service plan, dated 09/23/24, identified the resident had the following care needs:* Feeding assistance from staff; * Two-person assist for transfers using a hoyer lift; and* Full assist with toileting and perineal care. a. On 09/24/24, meal observations were conducted in the facility's activities room, which served as a secondary dining area. At 12:16 pm, Staff 9 was observed handling a resident's soiled plate with the thumb of her ungloved left hand on the surface of the plate. When she returned the plate to the table, she picked up the resident's used cup with the ungloved left hand, placing her fingers near the rim of the cup. After Staff 9 returned the cup to the resident, she sat next to Resident 8, picked up a napkin with the ungloved left hand and began wiping Resident 8's mouth with the napkin. Staff 9 was not observed to have preformed hand hygiene after handling the soiled dishware and prior to assisting Resident 8. On 09/25/24, the need to ensure staff used universal precautions when providing care to residents was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (LPN, Residential Services Coordinator). They acknowledged the findings.
b. During an ADL observation with Resident 8 on 09/24/24 at 11:05 am, the following was observed:* Three caregiving staff donned gloves and assisted the resident with incontinence care, which included physical assistance with rolling, perineal care, and repositioning;* All three staff assisted in removing the soiled brief;* One staff provided perineal care that included using wipes. All three staff then touched a clean incontinence brief, the resident's legs and torso, clothing, heel protectors, the bedding, and the hoyer sling, all while wearing the soiled gloves; * The staff who cleaned the perineal area then used the controls of the hoyer lift while the other two staff touched the handles, back and footplate's of the wheelchair; and* The staff who cleaned the perineal area removed the soiled gloves and performed hand hygiene prior to leaving the resident's room. The other two staff remained in the room and made the resident's bed and assisted Resident 8's roommate who was also in the room without changing soiled gloves.The need to maintain effective infection prevention and control while providing ADL care was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (LPN/Resident Services Coordinator) and Staff 3 (Lead MT) on 09/25/24 at 12:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
2a. During an ADL observation on 12/30/24 from 1:03 pm to 1:14 pm the following was noted:The surveyor obtained permission and observed Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 16 (CG) provided incontinence care to Resident 11. Both staff wore single-use gloves while assisting the resident with transferring from the wheelchair to the bed. The staff then helped with personal care by removing a soiled brief, cleaning the perineal area and putting on a clean brief using the same gloves. The staff then touched the resident's blanket, assisted with dressing the lower body, and transferred the resident from the bed to the recliner while wearing the same gloves. During the observation, both staff did not change their gloves or wash their hands between clean and dirty tasks. 2b. During an observation on 12/31/24 from 11:04 am to 11:12 am the following was noted:The surveyor obtained permission and observed Staff 13 (CG) and Staff 23 (CG) provide incontinent care to Resident 11. Staff 23 removed the resident's soiled brief and removed the gloves, then used hand sanitizer to clean their hands before putting on a new pair of gloves. Afterward, Staff 13 and Staff 23 assisted the resident with repositioning and lower body dressing. However, after removing the soiled brief, the resident's perineal area was not cleaned or wiped. Both staff assisted the resident with putting on lower body clothing including a clean brief and pants after removing the soiled brief without cleaning the resident's perineal area. The need to ensure proper infection control was utilized during the incontinence care and hand hygiene was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Residential Service Coordinator, LPN) and Staff 3 (Lead MA) on 12/31/24 at 11:25 am. They acknowledged the findings.
Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe, sanitary environment for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 11) and 1 of 1 unsampled residents who received incontinence care. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:1. During an ADL observation on 12/30/24 at 1:50 pm the following was noted: Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 24 (CG) donned their gloves and assisted an unsampled resident to the bathroom. Staff 24 assisted the resident to remain standing while Staff 12 doffed the resident's pants, removed the soiled brief, put it in the trash can, and removed the resident's soiled pants. Staff 24 assisted the resident to sit on the toilet. Without changing the soiled gloves or performing hand hygiene, Staff 12 assisted the resident with a clean brief and clean pants. Both caregivers then doffed their soiled gloves, and assisted the resident to stand up. The caregivers were observed leaving the resident's apartment, and then going to another room. There was no observation of hand hygiene. The need to ensure proper infection control and hand hygiene was utilized during incontinence care was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Residential Service Coordinator, LPN), and Staff 3 (Lead MA) on 12/31/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Inspection Findings:
Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to exercise reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety or welfare of residents for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 8, 9, and 10) who received inaccurate fluid consistencies. Residents received inaccurate fluid consistencies, placing them at risk for aspiration, choking and/or death. Findings include, but are not limited to:During the survey on 01/02/24, three sampled residents were identified as requiring modified texture meals and/or modified liquid consistencies.Resident 8, 9, and 10's clinical records were reviewed. Resident 8 had a physician order dated 12/14/23 for nectar thick consistency liquids. Resident 10 had a signed physician order, dated 11/25/22, indicating s/he required pureed textures and nectar thick liquids. Resident 9 had a physician order dated 10/09/23 for regular/thin diet and fluid consistency.Resident 8, 9, and 10's service plans revealed the following:*Resident 8's current service plan dated 11/21/23 noted the resident had a history of swallowing difficulties and required a pureed texture diet with pudding thick liquids. *Resident 9's current service plan dated 12/21/23 noted the resident was on a mechanical soft texture diet and no specifications for fluid consistency.*Resident 10's clinical record and current service plan dated 11/15/23 noted the resident was on a puree diet texture with nectar thick liquids.During meal observations of Resident 8, 9, and 10 and interviews with staff on 01/02/24 between 11:47 am and 1:15 pm, the following was noted:* Resident 8 required assistance to eat and drink during the noon meal;* Resident 8 had non-thickened water served at his/her place setting;* Staff 19 and 24 (CGs) were not able to state what fluid consistency the resident required;* Staff 24 removed the non-thickened water from the resident and served the resident nectar thick juice;* Staff 24 stated the resident needed "really" thick liquids and added approximately 1/4 cup of thickening agent to the juice;* Staff 19 (CG) spoon fed the juice with "pudding like consistency" to the resident; * Resident 10 required assistance to eat and drink during the noon meal;* Resident 10 had non-thickened water served at her/his place setting;* Staff 19 (CG) was not able to state what fluid consistency Resident 10 required;* Staff 24 (CG) removed the non-thickened water and stated Resident 10 was on a "thick liquid";* Prior to lunch being served, Resident 9 would stand up from the table and walk around the dining room and attempted to take other residents' silverware and/or drinks. Staff observed to intervene and give resident non-thickened glasses of water while walking around and/or when seated at the table. Resident 9 drank three glasses of non-thickened water prior to the noon meal. * Resident 9 required assistance to eat during the noon meal;* Staff 19 (CG) stirred a glass of water and gave to Resident 9 while s/he was eating. Staff 19 confirmed she had added powdered thickener to Resident 9's water but could not state what fluid consistency the resident required;* Staff 24 (CG) stated Resident 9 was nectar thick; and * Resident 9 was observed to drink the water provided by Staff 19. Resident 8, 9 and 10 either received thickened liquid without an order or received the incorrect fluid consistency. Staff 19 and 24 were unaware of what consistency the resident's required and were not clear on how much thickening agent to add to liquids. The facility failed to ensure residents who required modified fluid consistencies were served the appropriate fluid as evaluated or prescribed. This placed the residents at risk for choking, aspiration, and/or death.On 01/02/23 Staff 27 (Lead Cook) stated that the facility used pre-thickened water but the facility currently did not have any. Staff 3 (Lead Med Tech) stated the facility started using the powdered thickening agent "last week" when the pre-thickened water was not delivered by the food company. She acknowledged the staff should have received some training in using the powder to thicken liquids.The need to ensure the facility exercised reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/02/24 at 1:25 pm. An immediate plan of correction was requested by the survey team on 01/02/24 at 2:30 pm. The IJ plan of correction was presented to the surveyors and approved on 01/02/24 at 3:35 pm. The situation was abated.* What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation for providing appropriate thickened liquids;1. Staff training was provided for all staff in attendance today by Executive Director, Beth Jones.2. The Executive Director and lead med tech will monitor for appropriate diets and feeding techniques until all staff have received training and competency verified starting today. 3.

Simple directions for mixing thickened liquids will be posted for care staff with glass size to ensure correct thickness in case of emergency with no pre-thickened liquid available.5. Staff will receive training on Friday 01/05/2024 in an all staff meeting on providing appropriate thickened liquids. Those not in attendance will not assist in the dining room until training is documented. This training will be provided by Exec Director, Beth Jones. Janelle Asai, RD, or Vicki Pardon LD with Crandell Dietitians have been requested to provide in-service. ED will update if dietitians are unavailable for that date. 6. The Executive Director will maintain the correct inventory of thickened liquids. * How will the system be corrected so this violation will not happen again;1. Care staff will be trained in modified fluid textures at time of hire by qualified staff member. Competency will be verified prior to feeding residents. 2. All new staff who assist in the dining room will receive training on modified diets and thickened liquids prior to assisting residents in the dining room. 3. After initial training, training on proper textures and diets will be conducted quarterly via all staff meetings. 4. Diet orders will be reviewed quarterly and with Change of Condition by the service planning team (ED, Food Service Director, RSC and lead Med Tech). * How often will the area needing correction be evaluated; and1. The Executive Director will watch a meal service (random Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner), snack time to monitor for safety or staff training needs for 6 weeks and twice monthly after that. 2. The Executive Director will assign appropriately trained Med Tech, Lead Med tech or RSC on each shift is trained to assure quality control during all mealtimes starting today. * Who will be responsible for seeing that the corrections are completed?1.

The policy provided by Staff 1 (ED) regarding resident access to the outdoor courtyard stated, "All care staff are to thoroughly check the courtyards multiple times a shift, at least every 1-2 hours. You are to report to the Med Tech on duty when you have checked the courtyards." Staff 1 stated the facility did not restrict resident access to the courtyard based on time of day but did restrict access based on extreme weather conditions. She acknowledged the current written policy did not clearly define these weather conditions for staff.On 08/17/23 the need to provide access to secured outdoor courtyard areas, except during nighttime hours or during severe weather was discussed with Staff 1. She acknowledged the findings.
Plan of Correction:
A policy has been created stating when courtyard doors are to be opened and locked during extreme weather conditions. Specifics have been added to help guide the staff for consistency and safety. Signs have been placed on both courtyards stating when the doors will be locked. Carestaff will continue to utilize the alarm system and check the courtyards when alerted to residents outside at all times. Documentation of locking and unlocking courtyard doors will be kept and completed by Med Tech. Lead Med Tech will be responsible for auditing this weekly and Executive Director will audit monthly.
