“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse and failed to immediately notify the local SPD office of incidents of abuse or suspected abuse for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who had incidents reviewed. Resident 1 had multiple resident-to-resident altercations which put him/her and others at risk. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. A review of the resident's record, including progress notes dated 11/14/23 through 02/11/24, incident reports for the same time period, observations of resident care and staff interviews were conducted during the survey. The following reportable incidents were identified: * On 11/19/23 progress notes and an incident report noted a resident-to-resident altercation. * On 11/25/23 at 20:00 progress notes and incident report noted a resident-to-resident altercation. There was no documented follow up action to the investigation. * On 11/25/23 20:30 an incident report noted a resident-to-resident altercation in which Resident 1 was hitting another resident with an open fist repeatedly. The other resident was yelling for help. Emergency services were called. * On 01/27/24 Progress notes and an incident report noted a resident-to resident altercation. Resident 1 was sent to the emergency room. The follow up incident report noted: "resident was not safe for group living at this time due to aggression toward staff and other residents, having other residents fear for their safety." On 02/01/24 resident to staff altercation: Staff were assisting another resident in their room when Resident 1 entered the room and started hitting care staff. Follow up incident report noted, "service plan is clear and appropriate at this time." Resident 1 continues to have agression without clear interventions in place. During the survey from 02/12/24 through 02/15/24 the resident was not observed to display aggressive behaviors towards other residents. During an interview on 02/12/24 at 11:50 am, Staff 11 (CG) reported the resident had behaviors, was aggressive with staff and other residents, often refused care and required two people to assist with care "just in case something happens." During an interview on 02/15/24 at 8:38 am, Staff 17 (CG) reported the resident "gets angry with other residents and is hard to redirect, we change face [approach with a different caregiver] a lot with [him/her]. Sometimes it works, if not we get the MT." There was no documented evidence any of the above incidents of physical aggression were immediately reported to the local SPD office, and measures were taken to protect the resident and others in the community and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. The resident continued to have physical altercations with multiple residents and staff. The facility was instructed to report all of the above incidents to the local SPD office on 02/14/24. The need to immediately report resident altercations to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator) on 02/14/24. They acknowledged the findings. A confirmation of the reports to the local SPD office were provided prior to exit. Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse and failed to immediately notify the local SPD office of incidents of abuse or suspected abuse for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who had incidents reviewed. Resident 1 had multiple resident-to-resident altercations which put him/her and others at risk. Findings include, but are not limited to:”
“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, included a written description of who should provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services should be provided for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. Interviews with staff, review of the resident's service plan, dated 01/19/24, temporary service plans (TSP's) and progress notes, dated 11/14/23 through 02/11/24, were conducted during the survey. The service plan lacked a written description of who shall provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services shall be provided, was not reflective of the residents current care needs and status and lacked clear direction for staff in the following areas: * Hospice services including the tasks they were responsible to provide; * Cognition: including how often services were provided; * Bathing: independent verses staff assistance needed; * Supportive approaches for refusal of care and type of refusals; * Toileting including assistance for incontinent care and hospice provided supplies; * Use of siderails and caregiver instructions; * Fall interventions; * Behaviors and supportive approaches; and * Weight loss including interventions. The need to ensure resident service plans were reflective of current care needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator), Staff 5 (RN, Assistant Director of Health Services), and Staff 19 (Health Services Quality Coordinator ) on 02/15/24. They acknowledged the findings. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, included a written description of who should provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services should be provided for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose service plans were reviewed.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what action or interventions were needed for short term changes of condition, and/or failed to monitor residents consistent with evaluated needs or service plan for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) related to falls, behaviors, and resident-to-resident incidents. Resident 1 had multiple altercations and falls which put the resident and others at risk for injury. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. A review of the resident's service plan dated 01/09/24, temporary service plans (TSP's), progress notes dated 11/14/23 through 02/11/24, incident reports for the same time period noted the resident had verbal and physical aggression. a. The resident had the following changes of condition related to behaviors: * On 11/15/23 - Resident-to-staff altercation; * On 11/19/23 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 11/25/23 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 11/25/23 - A second resident-to-resident altercation; * On 01/27/24 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 02/01/24 - Resident-to-staff altercation; and * On 02/04/24 - Resident-to-staff altercation. During an interview on 02/12/24 at 11:50 am, Staff 11 (CG) reported the resident had behaviors, was aggressive with staff and other residents, often refused care and required two people to assist with care "just in case something happens." During an interview on 02/15/24 at 8:38 am, Staff 17 (CG) reported the resident "gets angry with other residents and is hard to redirect, we change face [approach with a different caregiver] a lot with [him/her]. Sometimes it works, if not we get the MT." There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated each altercation and determined what actions or interventions were needed for the resident, communicated the action or intervention to staff on each shift and the documentation of staff instructions or interventions made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved. This put the resident and others in the community at risk for continued physical aggression from Resident 1. On 02/15/24, the facility provided the survey team with a safety plan which detailed a description of what the verbal and physical aggression looked like. Noted the resident "would present with wide eyes, intent pacing and hands in fists. The safety plan further identified specific resident altercations. Interventions for staff to attempt included talk in a low tone and provide verbal cues away from what [s/he] is fixated on, talk about Hawaii, family, hunting, fishing camping. When [s/he] was hitting, kicking, slapping himself or other residents/staff were to avoid touching [him/her], coach and provide verbal cues, redirect away from the scene with a second caregiver, utilize PRN medications, contact community RN or after hours contact [care team]." The need to ensure the facility monitored residents per evaluated condition and service plan, determined resident specific action or interventions needed, the interventions communicated to staff on each shift and the documentation of staff instructions and/or interventions made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator), Staff 5 (RN, Assistant Director of Health Services), and Staff 19 (Health Services Quality Coordinator ) on 02/15/24. They acknowledged the findings. b. Resident 1's current evaluation and service plan identified the resident was a high fall risk. Fall interventions included frequent checks and non-skid footwear. The resident experienced the following changes of condition related to falls: * On 11/12/23 - Unwitnessed fall in his/her apartment. The resident was found on the floor in front of his/her bed with a scrape on the knee. A TSP was written on 11/16/23 (four days later). The TSP noted the following: encourage assistive device, pendant, keep environment free of clutter, caregiver to check catheter bag placement. The resident was evaluated as unable to use a call pendant, unable to remember to use assistive device and did not have a catheter, therefore the interventions on the TSP were not resident specific. * On 11/22/23 - Fall in the hallway with his/her head against the wall and lying on the floor; * On 11/24/23 at 7:58 pm - Fall in the resident's apartment in which s/he appeared to be "seizing". Resident had complaints of pain in knees; and * On 11/24/23 at 11:36 pm - A second fall in the resident's apartment. The resident had "complaints of pain in lower back but it's normal pain for him/her." There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the fall with reported seizure, determine action or intervention needed for the fall or seizure, communicate the action or intervention to staff on all shifts and monitored the residents fall, pain or reported seizure at least weekly through resolution. * On 11/26/23 - Unwitnessed fall from bed. A TSP written on 11/26/23, repeated the same previous interventions noted on a TSP dated 11/16/23. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the fall interventions for effectiveness or monitored the resident for any pain or latent injuries at least weekly through resolution. * On 11/27/23 - Unwitnessed fall in his/her apartment; * On 11/30/23 - Unwitnessed fall with injury in another resident's room which resulted in two cuts with minor bleeding on the resident's left forearm; * On 12/12/23 - Observed fall in the hallway when resident attempted to self-transfer in the common "TV" area and missed the recliner, no injuries noted; and * On 01/08/24 - Unwitnessed fall in the apartment. There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident's continued falls, determined what action or interventions were needed for the resident, communicated the actions and/or interventions to staff on all shifts and monitored the resident's falls and the skin injuries to the left forearm at least weekly through resolution. Resident 1 continued to have falls with injuries. * On 01/11/24 - Unwitnessed fall, resident called for help and was found on the floor of his/her bathroom. The resident fell off the toilet with injury to right side of forehead and had complaints of right wrist pain; and * On 01/14/24 - Unwitnessed fall, the resident was found on the floor next to the recliner. The incident investigation noted, "falls to be expected at this time." There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident's fall interventions for effectiveness, determined what action or interventions were needed for the resident following the fall, communicated the actions and/or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored the resident's skin injuries to the left forearm at least weekly through resolution. Resident 1 continued to have falls with injuries. * On 01/20/24 - Unwitnessed fall in the resident's apartment. A TSP was written on 01/23/24 (three days later) with interventions including: put laundry clothing piles in appropriate places, remove rugs, ensure resident is wearing "pull ups" and check room floors due to incontinence. There was no documented evidence the fall and determined interventions were monitored for effectiveness. * On 02/02/24- Unwitnessed fall with a scratch on the right leg. A TSP was written on 02/06/24 (four days later) instructing staff to "monitor unsteady gait, monitor hourly, use pendant, ensure room is clutter free and report changes nausea, vomiting to MT and hourly checks." The facility failed to evaluate the fall interventions for effectiveness, determine what action or intervention was needed for the skin injury to the right leg and the fall and skin injury were not monitored weekly through resolution. Resident 1 was evaluated as a high risk for falls and experienced multiple falls w”
“Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to establish and maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe and sanitary environment for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#'s 3, 4, and 5) and multiple unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: Observations were made during the survey to determine adherence to universal precautions for infection control. 1. Upon entry to the memory care unit on 07/23/24, Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator) confirmed they had several residents who tested positive for COVID. While on survey, observations were made of an unsampled resident not wearing a mask and wandering the facility, checking door handles on resident rooms, offices and exit doors to the courtyard, stepping into multiple resident rooms, sitting down in community areas surrounded by other sampled and unsampled residents in the dining room, television area and courtyard. Prior to interviews with staff about this resident, no observations were made that identified the facility was sanitizing the high touch areas, redirecting the resident to his/her room or away from other residents or encouraging the resident to wear a mask. On 07/23/24, the surveyor observed a sign posted on this unsampled resident's door that stated "Caution COVID-19 QUARANTINE IN PROGRESS" with a start date of 07/20/24 and end date of 07/25/24. A (Temp) Service Plan Update, dated 07/20/24, instructed staff to "Keep in room if possible" and "encourage mask/distancing". There were no instructions to staff how to maintain infection prevention and control for this resident if s/he would not adhere to quarantining, wearing a mask or distancing. During an interview with Staff 24 (CG) on 07/24/24 at 11:00 am, he revealed staff were to wipe down the table after someone who was COVID positive and "keep them isolated." When asked what to do for residents who did not want to stay in their rooms, he responded "We just keep bringing them back to their room." At 11:09 am Staff 24 was overheard saying to another caregiver, "I didn't know that [unsampled resident] was positive." During an interview with Staff 28 (CG) on 07/24/24 at 11:10 am, she relayed that for the resident who was COVID positive and wandered the facility, "S/he has not wanted to stay in [his/her] room" and "we just try to get [him/her] to wear a mask". She did not have any additional instruction as to how staff provided infection control for this resident who wandered. On 07/24/24 at 1:25 pm, the surveyor alerted Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 and Staff 20 (Regional RN) regarding the observations and interviews made with the resident who wandered and was COVID positive. Staff 2 acknowledged the resident wandered throughout the facility including in and out of resident rooms, and the facility needed to be cleaning the high touch areas. She voluntarily completed an updated service plan update that included instructions on how to prevent and maintain infection control for this resident who wandered and was COVID positive. Additionally, Staff 1 provided a "COVID Disinfecting Schedule" for the memory care facility who had a number of other COVID positive residents. The need to ensure staff consistently used universal precautions was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 and Staff 20 on 07/25/24 at 2:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. On 07/24/24 during breakfast and lunch service the following observations were made: * At 8:58 am, a caregiver provided meal assistance for Resident 5, and intermittent cueing and assistance to another unsampled resident. Resident 5 was repositioned in his/her wheelchair and the caregiver provided assistance with Resident 5's lower legs and feet. With gloved hands, the caregiver was observed to touch Resident 5's legs, feet and the wheelchair's armrest and footplates. Following the repositioning and with the same gloved hands, the caregiver cued the unsampled resident to eat his/her breakfast, touched his/her fork and placed the fork in the resident's hand. The caregiver then picked up the resident's link sausage, attempted to place in his/her hand but the resident refused. The surveyor observed the resident consume the sausage link independently about five minutes later. With the same gloved hands, the caregiver returned to Resident 5 and held the cup and straw to his/her mouth.

Resident 1 had multiple resident-to-resident altercations which put him/her and others at risk. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, included a written description of who should provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services should be provided for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. Interviews with staff, review of the resident's service plan, dated 01/19/24, temporary service plans (TSP's) and progress notes, dated 11/14/23 through 02/11/24, were conducted during the survey. The service plan lacked a written description of who shall provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services shall be provided, was not reflective of the residents current care needs and status and lacked clear direction for staff in the following areas: * Hospice services including the tasks they were responsible to provide; * Cognition: including how often services were provided; * Bathing: independent verses staff assistance needed; * Supportive approaches for refusal of care and type of refusals; * Toileting including assistance for incontinent care and hospice provided supplies; * Use of siderails and caregiver instructions; * Fall interventions; * Behaviors and supportive approaches; and * Weight loss including interventions. The need to ensure resident service plans were reflective of current care needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator), Staff 5 (RN, Assistant Director of Health Services), and Staff 19 (Health Services Quality Coordinator ) on 02/15/24. They acknowledged the findings. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, included a written description of who should provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services should be provided for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what action or interventions were needed for short term changes of condition, and/or failed to monitor residents consistent with evaluated needs or service plan for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) related to falls, behaviors, and resident-to-resident incidents. Resident 1 had multiple altercations and falls which put the resident and others at risk for injury. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 08/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. A review of the resident's service plan dated 01/09/24, temporary service plans (TSP's), progress notes dated 11/14/23 through 02/11/24, incident reports for the same time period noted the resident had verbal and physical aggression. a. The resident had the following changes of condition related to behaviors: * On 11/15/23 - Resident-to-staff altercation; * On 11/19/23 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 11/25/23 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 11/25/23 - A second resident-to-resident altercation; * On 01/27/24 - Resident-to-resident altercation; * On 02/01/24 - Resident-to-staff altercation; and * On 02/04/24 - Resident-to-staff altercation. During an interview on 02/12/24 at 11:50 am, Staff 11 (CG) reported the resident had behaviors, was aggressive with staff and other residents, often refused care and required two people to assist with care "just in case something happens." During an interview on 02/15/24 at 8:38 am, Staff 17 (CG) reported the resident "gets angry with other residents and is hard to redirect, we change face [approach with a different caregiver] a lot with [him/her]. Sometimes it works, if not we get the MT." There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated each altercation and determined what actions or interventions were needed for the resident, communicated the action or intervention to staff on each shift and the documentation of staff instructions or interventions made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved. This put the resident and others in the community at risk for continued physical aggression from Resident 1. On 02/15/24, the facility provided the survey team with a safety plan which detailed a description of what the verbal and physical aggression looked like. Noted the resident "would present with wide eyes, intent pacing and hands in fists. The safety plan further identified specific resident altercations. Interventions for staff to attempt included talk in a low tone and provide verbal cues away from what [s/he] is fixated on, talk about Hawaii, family, hunting, fishing camping. When [s/he] was hitting, kicking, slapping himself or other residents/staff were to avoid touching [him/her], coach and provide verbal cues, redirect away from the scene with a second caregiver, utilize PRN medications, contact community RN or after hours contact [care team]." The need to ensure the facility monitored residents per evaluated condition and service plan, determined resident specific action or interventions needed, the interventions communicated to staff on each shift and the documentation of staff instructions and/or interventions made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator), Staff 5 (RN, Assistant Director of Health Services), and Staff 19 (Health Services Quality Coordinator ) on 02/15/24. They acknowledged the findings. b. Resident 1's current evaluation and service plan identified the resident was a high fall risk. Fall interventions included frequent checks and non-skid footwear. The resident experienced the following changes of condition related to falls: * On 11/12/23 - Unwitnessed fall in his/her apartment. The resident was found on the floor in front of his/her bed with a scrape on the knee. A TSP was written on 11/16/23 (four days later). The TSP noted the following: encourage assistive device, pendant, keep environment free of clutter, caregiver to check catheter bag placement. The resident was evaluated as unable to use a call pendant, unable to remember to use assistive device and did not have a catheter, therefore the interventions on the TSP were not resident specific. * On 11/22/23 - Fall in the hallway with his/her head against the wall and lying on the floor; * On 11/24/23 at 7:58 pm - Fall in the resident's apartment in which s/he appeared to be "seizing". Resident had complaints of pain in knees; and * On 11/24/23 at 11:36 pm - A second fall in the resident's apartment. The resident had "complaints of pain in lower back but it's normal pain for him/her."

A TSP written on 11/26/23, repeated the same previous interventions noted on a TSP dated 11/16/23. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the fall interventions for effectiveness or monitored the resident for any pain or latent injuries at least weekly through resolution. * On 11/27/23 - Unwitnessed fall in his/her apartment; * On 11/30/23 - Unwitnessed fall with injury in another resident's room which resulted in two cuts with minor bleeding on the resident's left forearm; * On 12/12/23 - Observed fall in the hallway when resident attempted to self-transfer in the common "TV" area and missed the recliner, no injuries noted; and * On 01/08/24 - Unwitnessed fall in the apartment. There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident's continued falls, determined what action or interventions were needed for the resident, communicated the actions and/or interventions to staff on all shifts and monitored the resident's falls and the skin injuries to the left forearm at least weekly through resolution. Resident 1 continued to have falls with injuries. * On 01/11/24 - Unwitnessed fall, resident called for help and was found on the floor of his/her bathroom.

There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident's fall interventions for effectiveness, determined what action or interventions were needed for the resident following the fall, communicated the actions and/or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored the resident's skin injuries to the left forearm at least weekly through resolution. Resident 1 continued to have falls with injuries. * On 01/20/24 - Unwitnessed fall in the resident's apartment. A TSP was written on 01/23/24 (three days later) with interventions including: put laundry clothing piles in appropriate places, remove rugs, ensure resident is wearing "pull ups" and check room floors due to incontinence. There was no documented evidence the fall and determined interventions were monitored for effectiveness. * On 02/02/24- Unwitnessed fall with a scratch on the right leg. A TSP was written on 02/06/24 (four days later) instructing staff to "monitor unsteady gait, monitor hourly, use pendant, ensure room is clutter free and report changes nausea, vomiting to MT and hourly checks." The facility failed to evaluate the fall interventions for effectiveness, determine what action or intervention was needed for the skin injury to the right leg and the fall and skin injury were not monitored weekly through resolution. Resident 1 was evaluated as a high risk for falls and experienced multiple falls w Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to establish and maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe and sanitary environment for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#'s 3, 4, and 5) and multiple unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: Observations were made during the survey to determine adherence to universal precautions for infection control. 1. Upon entry to the memory care unit on 07/23/24, Staff 2 (Health Services Administrator) confirmed they had several residents who tested positive for COVID. While on survey, observations were made of an unsampled resident not wearing a mask and wandering the facility, checking door handles on resident rooms, offices and exit doors to the courtyard, stepping into multiple resident rooms, sitting down in community areas surrounded by other sampled and unsampled residents in the dining room, television area and courtyard. Prior to interviews with staff about this resident, no observations were made that identified the facility was sanitizing the high touch areas, redirecting the resident to his/her room or away from other residents or encouraging the resident to wear a mask. On 07/23/24, the surveyor observed a sign posted on this unsampled resident's door that stated "Caution COVID-19 QUARANTINE IN PROGRESS" with a start date of 07/20/24 and end date of 07/25/24. A (Temp) Service Plan Update, dated 07/20/24, instructed staff to "Keep in room if possible" and "encourage mask/distancing". There were no instructions to staff how to maintain infection prevention and control for this resident if s/he would not adhere to quarantining, wearing a mask or distancing. During an interview with Staff 24 (CG) on 07/24/24 at 11:00 am, he revealed staff were to wipe down the table after someone who was COVID positive and "keep them isolated." When asked what to do for residents who did not want to stay in their rooms, he responded "We just keep bringing them back to their room." At 11:09 am Staff 24 was overheard saying to another caregiver, "I didn't know that [unsampled resident] was positive." During an interview with Staff 28 (CG) on 07/24/24 at 11:10 am, she relayed that for the resident who was COVID positive and wandered the facility, "S/he has not wanted to stay in [his/her] room" and "we just try to get [him/her] to wear a mask". She did not have any additional instruction as to how staff provided infection control for this resident who wandered. On 07/24/24 at 1:25 pm, the surveyor alerted Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 and Staff 20 (Regional RN) regarding the observations and interviews made with the resident who wandered and was COVID positive. Staff 2 acknowledged the resident wandered throughout the facility including in and out of resident rooms, and the facility needed to be cleaning the high touch areas. She voluntarily completed an updated service plan update that included instructions on how to prevent and maintain infection control for this resident who wandered and was COVID positive. Additionally, Staff 1 provided a "COVID Disinfecting Schedule" for the memory care facility who had a number of other COVID positive residents. The need to ensure staff consistently used universal precautions was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 and Staff 20 on 07/25/24 at 2:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. On 07/24/24 during breakfast and lunch service the following observations were made: * At 8:58 am, a caregiver provided meal assistance for Resident 5, and intermittent cueing and assistance to another unsampled resident. Resident 5 was repositioned in his/her wheelchair and the caregiver provided assistance with Resident 5's lower legs and feet. With gloved hands, the caregiver was observed to touch Resident 5's legs, feet and the wheelchair's armrest and footplates. Following the repositioning and with the same gloved hands, the caregiver cued the unsampled resident to eat his/her breakfast, touched his/her fork and placed the fork in the resident's hand. The caregiver then picked up the resident's link sausage, attempted to place in his/her hand but the resident refused. The surveyor observed the resident consume the sausage link independently about five minutes later. With the same gloved hands, the caregiver returned to Resident 5 and held the cup and straw to his/her mouth. Following repositioning assistance in the wheelchair, the staff member was not observed to change gloves or perform hand hygiene prior to assisting the unsampled resident and Resident 5. * At 12:33 pm a caregiver was seated between Resident 3 and Resident 5 and provided meal assistance to Resident 5. With gloved hands the caregiver picked up half of a sandwich and Resident 5 took a bite. Resident 3 was observed to ask for assistance from the caregiver after s/he dropped some food into his/her lap. The caregiver reached over, touched Resident 3's pants, picked up the food from his/her lap and placed it on the table. With the same gloved hands the caregiver resumed meal assistance to Resident 5, picked up his/her sandwich and assisted him/her with another bite. The staff member was not observed to change gloves or perform hand hygiene prior to resuming feeding assistance to Resident 5.
