Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Fairhaven Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with latent TB and prior hepatotoxicity from Rifampin was admitted with hospital documentation indicating Rifampin was to be stopped indefinitely and not administered. Facility policy required use of the final hospital discharge summary and two‑nurse verification for medication reconciliation, but the Nursing Supervisor relied on a preliminary discharge summary, entered Rifampin as an active order after calling the on‑call provider, and the second nurse did not verify orders against the final discharge summary. No staff documented review of the finalized discharge instructions or clarification of the Rifampin order, and the resident received two doses of Rifampin before being transferred back to the hospital with recurrent liver injury symptoms.
The facility failed to follow physician orders for three residents, including incorrect wound care dressing, lack of hand rolls for a resident with contractures, and failure to conduct 15-minute safety checks for a resident with a history of falls and suicidal ideations. Staff were unaware or did not implement the necessary care, leading to deficiencies in meeting professional standards.
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care for three residents, leading to deficiencies in oxygen therapy and CPAP/BiPAP equipment management. A resident received oxygen without necessary filters, while another had a dusty concentrator and dirty CPAP machine. A third resident had outdated equipment and a dirty BiPAP facemask. Staff were unclear about maintenance schedules, contributing to inadequate care.
The facility failed to follow infection control practices, including improper hand hygiene and PPE use in Enhanced Barrier Precaution rooms, unsanitized glucometer use between residents, and inadequate wound care procedures. Staff acknowledged these lapses, which were observed by surveyors.
A resident's dignity was compromised when their urinary catheter bag was repeatedly left uncovered, making it visible from the hallway. Despite the facility's policy requiring privacy bags, observations showed the catheter bag was not covered, and staff confirmed it should have been.
The facility failed to develop care plans for two residents, one at risk for pressure ulcers and another with a cardiac pacemaker. Despite assessments indicating the need for a pressure ulcer care plan for a resident with incontinence, none was created. Similarly, a resident with a pacemaker lacked a comprehensive care plan, contrary to facility policy. Staff interviews confirmed the necessity of these care plans.
A resident with dysphasia and failure to thrive was left unsupervised during meals, despite being dependent on staff for all functional tasks. Observations revealed the resident attempting to eat without assistance, contrary to the care plan requiring supervision. Staff interviews confirmed the need for help, yet the resident was left alone, indicating a failure in following care protocols.
The facility failed to provide necessary treatment for two residents with pressure ulcers. One resident did not have the required soft booties on their feet as per the care plan, often due to them being in the laundry. Another resident did not receive the correct wound treatment as recommended by the wound physician, with staff unaware of the specific treatment order. These deficiencies indicate lapses in following prescribed care plans and treatment protocols.
A resident with a history of burns from hot coffee was repeatedly observed without a lid on their coffee cup, despite care plan requirements for covered cups. Staff interviews revealed a lack of communication and adherence to the care plan, resulting in a deficiency in maintaining the resident's safety.
A resident with adult failure to thrive and type 2 diabetes was admitted as continent but later became frequently incontinent. The facility failed to conduct necessary evaluations or develop a care plan for the resident's bladder incontinence, despite policy requirements. Staff confirmed the resident's incontinence and lack of a toileting plan, highlighting a deficiency in care.
A resident with dementia and lactose intolerance experienced significant weight loss over six months. Despite the dietitian's recommendations for dietary interventions, including Mighty Shakes, these were not implemented promptly. The facility's failure to follow its weight policy and communicate effectively led to continued weight loss.
A facility failed to provide appropriate dialysis care for a resident with end-stage renal disease. The resident's care plan lacked specific interventions for the dialysis access site, and there were no emergency supplies, such as a non-serrated clamp, at the bedside. Additionally, communication between the facility and the dialysis center was inconsistent, with missing entries in the resident's communication book. Staff were unaware of the need for an emergency plan or supplies, and the care plan did not specify the location of the dialysis access site.
The facility exceeded a 5% medication error rate when two nurses made errors affecting two residents. One nurse withheld medications without physician orders, and another crushed a medication against instructions. Both actions violated facility policy requiring adherence to prescriber orders.
The facility failed to ensure medications were labeled with open dates and outdated medications were not available for administration on two resident care units. Observations revealed several medications, including inhalers and nasal sprays, were opened and undated, making it impossible to determine expiration dates. Interviews with nursing staff confirmed the requirement for medications to be labeled and dated when opened.
A resident with missing teeth and difficulty eating was not provided the prescribed Mechanical Soft (Dental) Ground texture diet. Observations showed the resident received meals inconsistent with the diet order, such as toast and an uncut grilled cheese sandwich. The facility's therapeutic diets did not include ground textures, and the resident had not been screened by Speech Therapy upon admission, leading to the deficiency.
A facility failed to maintain an accurate medical record for a resident with a pressure ulcer. The resident's air mattress, ordered to be set at 165 lbs, was observed at 180 lbs on two occasions, while the Treatment Administration Record inaccurately documented it as 165 lbs. Interviews confirmed the mattress should match the resident's weight, which was 178 lbs, and highlighted incorrect documentation.
The facility failed to support residents' right to self-determination by requiring them to eat in the dining room and not delivering meals to their rooms, causing distress and difficulty for residents who preferred or needed to eat in their rooms. This policy change led to safety concerns and challenges for residents who had to transport their meals independently.
Failure to Reconcile Hospital Discharge Orders Leads to Administration of Discontinued Rifampin
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure a resident was free from significant medication errors when admission medications were not accurately reconciled and transcribed. Facility policy required that all physician and authorized practitioner orders be accurately transcribed, verified by a second licensed nurse, and reconciled with the physician upon admission and after hospitalization, with discrepancies clarified immediately. Another policy required use of the official, final hospital discharge document for medication reconciliation, with the admitting nurse resolving discrepancies prior to order entry and a second nurse confirming accuracy before activating orders in the EMR. Resident #1 was admitted with diagnoses including latent tuberculosis, anemia, muscle wasting, diabetes mellitus, and acute kidney failure. The preliminary hospital discharge summary indicated a discharge diagnosis of hepatotoxicity secondary to Rifampin and stated that Rifampin was stopped due to toxicity and to remain off it indefinitely. The finalized hospital discharge summary explicitly directed that Rifampin 150 mg capsules and Ibuprofen 600 mg tablets were not to be administered. A physician’s progress note in the resident’s record also stated that the resident was to remain off Rifampin indefinitely due to hepatotoxicity. Despite these documented instructions, the resident’s MAR contained an active order for Rifampin 150 mg, three capsules once daily, and the medication was documented as administered on two days. Interviews and record review showed that the Nursing Supervisor used the preliminary discharge summary sent to the admission coordinator, saw Rifampin listed as a current medication, called the on‑call provider, verbally reviewed and reconciled the medication list, and then entered the orders into the EMR without using the finalized discharge paperwork that accompanied the resident on the actual admission date. The second nurse responsible for double‑checking admission orders did not verify the medication orders against the final discharge summary. There was no documentation that nursing staff reviewed the finalized discharge summary or clarified discrepancies related to Rifampin with the provider. The Unit Manager reported being unaware that the medications were not reconciled or transcribed accurately upon admission, even though she stated that medication reconciliation should always be completed by two nurses using the final hospital discharge summary. As a result of these failures, the resident received two doses of Rifampin after it had been discontinued at the hospital, and the resident was subsequently transferred back to the hospital with recurrent symptoms related to liver injury.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders for Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet professional standards of quality care for three residents, as observed by surveyors. For one resident, the facility did not apply the correct wound care dressing as per physician orders. The resident, who was at risk of developing pressure ulcers and dependent on staff for daily living activities, was observed with an incorrect silicone foam dressing instead of the prescribed collagen and bordered gauze dressing. The nurse acknowledged the error, and the Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that staff should follow physician orders and facility protocols for wound care. Another resident, diagnosed with quadriplegia and contractures, was not provided with hand rolls as ordered by the physician. The resident's care plan did not include the use of bilateral hand rolls, and staff were unaware of the requirement. Observations showed the resident without hand rolls during the night, despite a sign indicating their necessity. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and implementation of the physician's orders regarding the hand rolls. A third resident, with a history of major depressive disorder and recent falls, was not monitored with 15-minute safety checks as ordered. The resident, who had moderate cognitive impairment and a history of suicidal ideations, was observed without staff conducting the required checks. The facility's documentation did not reflect the implementation of these checks, and staff interviews confirmed the oversight. The Director of Nursing emphasized the importance of following physician orders for the resident's safety.
Deficiencies in Respiratory Care Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care services for three residents, leading to deficiencies in the management of oxygen therapy and CPAP/BiPAP equipment. Resident #317, who was admitted with acute and chronic respiratory failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus, was observed multiple times receiving oxygen via nasal cannula without the necessary external filters on the oxygen concentrator. Despite the physician's order for continuous oxygen therapy, the staff, including the Unit Manager and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), were initially unaware of the requirement for filters, which was later confirmed by the oxygen concentrator's manual and a representative from the oxygen supply company. Resident #77, who was moderately cognitively impaired and dependent on a CPAP machine, was found to have a thick layer of dust on the oxygen concentrator filter, and the CPAP machine was visibly dirty. The oxygen tubing was undated, and the CPAP mask was improperly stored. Despite physician orders for nightly CPAP use, the staff, including Nurse #1 and Unit Manager #1, were unclear about the frequency of cleaning and changing the equipment, leading to inadequate maintenance of the respiratory equipment. Resident #42, who was cognitively intact and dependent on a BiPAP machine, was observed with outdated oxygen tubing and sterile water, a dusty concentrator filter, and a visibly dirty BiPAP facemask. The resident's physician orders required regular cleaning and changing of the equipment, but the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) showed inconsistencies in documentation and adherence to these orders. Interviews with staff, including a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Unit Manager #4, revealed a lack of compliance with the prescribed maintenance schedule, contributing to the deficiency in respiratory care for this resident.
Infection Control Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to infection control practices, as observed by surveyors. In one instance, a housekeeper entered and exited rooms requiring Enhanced Barrier Precautions without performing hand hygiene. The housekeeper also changed trash and swept floors without using gloves appropriately. Additionally, two CNAs were observed in a resident's room, who required Enhanced Barrier Precautions, without wearing the necessary gloves and gowns while providing care. The facility also failed to sanitize shared medical equipment, specifically a glucometer, between residents. A nurse was observed using the glucometer on multiple residents without cleaning it between uses, despite the facility's policy requiring sanitization after each use. Both the nurse and the Assistant Director of Nursing acknowledged that the glucometer should be sanitized after each use. During a wound dressing change, a nurse did not perform hand hygiene after removing gloves and placed dressing supplies on a resident's bed. The nurse also stored unused dressing supplies in the resident's personal drawer and wrote on the resident's dressing while it was on their body. The nurse admitted to not following proper hand hygiene and wound care protocols, which was confirmed by the Assistant Director of Nursing.
Failure to Use Privacy Bag for Urinary Catheter
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a dignified existence for a resident by not utilizing a privacy bag for the resident's urinary catheter bag, which was visible and in use. The resident, who was admitted with acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, had intact cognition and was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene. Observations made by the surveyor on multiple occasions revealed that the urinary catheter bag, containing visible yellow urine, was hanging from the resident's bed or clipped to the wheelchair armrest and could be seen from the hallway. Despite the presence of a privacy bag next to the catheter bag on one occasion, it was not in use. Interviews with facility staff, including a nurse and the Assistant Director of Nursing, confirmed that the urinary catheter bags should have been covered with a privacy bag to prevent them from being visible from the hallway. The facility's policy on resident rights, which guarantees a dignified existence, was not adhered to in this instance, as the resident's urinary catheter bag was repeatedly left uncovered, compromising the resident's dignity.
Failure to Develop Care Plans for Pressure Ulcer and Pacemaker Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement person-centered care plans with measurable goals and individualized interventions for two residents. Resident #58, who was admitted in June 2024 with diagnoses including adult failure to thrive and type 2 diabetes mellitus, was observed without sheets on the bed and reported incontinence. Despite being at risk for pressure ulcers, as indicated by the Minimum Data Set (MDS) and Care Area Assessment (CAA), no care plan was developed to address this risk. Interviews with staff confirmed the resident's incontinence and the need for a care plan to prevent pressure injuries. Resident #94, admitted in August 2023 with a cardiac pacemaker, also lacked a comprehensive care plan for pacemaker management. The facility's policy required documentation of pacemaker details upon admission, but the resident's medical record did not reflect this. Interviews with the Unit Manager and Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that a care plan should have been developed for the pacemaker, highlighting a lapse in care planning for this resident as well.
Failure to Provide Meal Supervision for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary supervision during meals for a resident who was dependent on staff for all functional tasks. The resident, admitted with diagnoses including dysphasia and failure to thrive, was observed on multiple occasions attempting to eat meals without staff assistance. During these observations, the resident was not visible from the hallway, and no staff were present in the room to assist or supervise. The resident's care plan indicated a need for supervision with a 1:8 ratio and occasional assistance, yet this was not adhered to, as evidenced by the resident being left alone during meal times. The resident's care plan and CNA care card indicated the need for assistance with eating, including setting up meals and providing reminders. However, staff failed to follow these directives, as observed by the surveyor. Interviews with staff, including a CNA and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the resident required help with eating and that staff were expected to follow the care plan. Despite these expectations, the resident was left unsupervised, highlighting a deficiency in the facility's adherence to care plans and supervision protocols.
Failure to Implement Pressure Ulcer Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary treatment and services for two residents with pressure ulcers. Resident #37, who has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, and other conditions, was observed without the required soft booties on both feet as per the medical plan of care. Despite having orders for soft booties to be worn every shift, observations showed the resident's feet were often on a pillow or directly on the mattress without the booties. Interviews with staff revealed that the booties were sometimes unavailable due to being in the laundry, indicating a lapse in ensuring the resident's care plan was followed. Resident #61, admitted with diagnoses including heart failure and chronic respiratory failure, was not receiving the correct wound treatment as recommended by the wound physician. The physician had advised using collagen with silver for a stage 3 pressure ulcer on the coccyx, but the treatment administered was collagen without silver. The discrepancy was noted during a surveyor's observation, and interviews with the nursing staff revealed a lack of awareness about the specific treatment order and its importance. The Assistant Director of Nursing acknowledged the oversight and the antimicrobial benefits of the silver in the collagen, which were not being utilized. These deficiencies highlight a failure in the facility's adherence to prescribed treatment plans and protocols for pressure ulcer management. The lack of proper implementation of care plans and treatment orders for residents at risk of or with existing pressure ulcers indicates a need for improved communication and adherence to medical directives within the facility.
Failure to Implement Safety Interventions for Resident with Burn History
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement safety interventions for a resident who had previously suffered burns from spilled hot coffee. The resident, who has intact cognition and requires setup assistance with meals, was observed multiple times without a lid on their coffee cup, despite a care plan indicating the necessity of using a covered cup to prevent further burns. The resident's care plan and incident report both specified that hot liquids should be served in a covered cup, yet during several meal observations, the resident was given a mug without a lid, and no cup holder was attached to their wheelchair. Staff interviews revealed that the resident's diet slip did not indicate the need for lids with coffee, and there was a lack of communication between nursing and dietary services regarding this requirement. The Unit Manager, Assistant Director of Nursing, and Director of Nursing all acknowledged the need for lids on the resident's coffee due to their history of burns, but the necessary precautions were not consistently implemented. This oversight in following the care plan and ensuring proper communication led to the deficiency in maintaining the resident's safety.
Failure to Implement Continence Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate services to maintain continence for a resident, identified as Resident #58, who was admitted in June 2024. The resident, who has diagnoses including adult failure to thrive and type 2 diabetes mellitus, was initially assessed as continent of bladder upon admission. However, subsequent assessments indicated a decline in urinary continence, with the resident becoming frequently incontinent. Despite this change, the facility did not conduct further evaluations or develop a person-centered care plan with individualized interventions for the resident's bladder incontinence. Observations and interviews revealed that Resident #58 was often found incontinent and without a proper toileting program in place. The resident expressed that they wore briefs and did not always recognize the urge to urinate. Staff members, including CNAs and nurses, confirmed the resident's incontinence and lack of a toileting plan. The facility's policy required a 3-day observation tool and a Bladder and Bowel Evaluation to be completed upon admission, annually, quarterly, and when significant changes occur, but these were not implemented for Resident #58. Interviews with facility staff, including the Director of Nursing, indicated that the necessary assessments and care plans were not completed as required. The DON acknowledged that a new assessment should have been triggered after admission and that a quarterly evaluation and a 3-day bladder voiding trial should have been conducted to determine the type of incontinence and the potential benefit of a toileting plan. The lack of these evaluations and an individualized care plan for urinary incontinence constituted a deficiency in the facility's care for Resident #58.
Failure to Implement Dietary Interventions for Resident's Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement necessary interventions for a resident experiencing significant weight loss. Resident #13, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia and lactose intolerance, experienced a weight loss of 16.61% over six months. Despite the dietitian's recommendations for dietary interventions, including the use of Mighty Shakes twice daily, these were not implemented in a timely manner. The resident's weight continued to decline, and the dietitian's recommendations were not acted upon until a month later, when the order for Mighty Shakes three times daily was finally initiated. The deficiency was identified through observations, record reviews, and interviews. The facility's weight policy required reweighing and notifying the interdisciplinary team for significant weight changes, but these steps were not effectively followed. Interviews with staff, including the CNA, physician, dietitian, unit manager, and DON, revealed a lack of awareness and communication regarding the implementation of the dietitian's recommendations. This oversight contributed to the resident's continued weight loss, highlighting a failure in the facility's process for addressing significant weight changes in residents.
Deficiency in Dialysis Care and Communication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide safe and appropriate dialysis care for a resident who required such services. The resident, who was admitted with end-stage renal disease and dependent on renal dialysis, had a chest port for dialysis access. The facility did not adhere to emergency care practices for the use of a venous catheter, as there were no emergency items, including a non-serrated clamp, in the resident's immediate area. The resident was unaware of any supplies for emergency care of the chest catheter, and the facility staff, including the nurse and unit manager, were not aware of the need for an emergency plan or supplies at the bedside. The facility also failed to have a person-centered care plan with individualized interventions for the resident. The care plan did not indicate the location of the resident's dialysis access site or include interventions related to the access site, such as having non-serrated clamps bedside for emergencies. Additionally, the physician's orders did not include the requirement for non-serrated clamps for emergencies related to the venous catheter access site. Furthermore, the facility did not ensure consistent communication between the facility and the dialysis treatment center according to the medical plan of care. The resident's communication book, which was supposed to document vital signs and any changes in condition, was missing entries for several dates in August, September, and October. The Assistant Director of Nursing acknowledged that staff should send the resident with a completed communication document for each dialysis treatment and that the dialysis care plan should specify the location of the dialysis access site.
Medication Administration Errors Exceed 5% in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, as observed during a survey. Two nurses were involved in medication administration errors affecting two residents. Nurse #3 did not administer Amlodipine and Lasix to a resident with primary pulmonary hypertension due to low blood pressure, despite lacking physician orders to withhold these medications. This decision was made without consulting a physician, which is against the facility's policy that requires medications to be administered according to prescriber orders. Nurse #4 crushed and administered Aripiprazole to a resident, despite the medication card's instructions not to crush or chew the tablet. The resident had requested the medication to be crushed, but Nurse #4 acknowledged that a physician's order is necessary for such modifications. The Unit Manager and the Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that medication administration should adhere to physician orders and pharmacy guidelines, emphasizing the need for physician approval for any changes in medication administration.
Medication Labeling and Expiration Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications were properly labeled with open dates and that outdated medications were not available for administration on two of four resident care units. During an observation of the [NAME] Unit medication Cart One, several medications, including ProSource Liquid Protein, fluticasone nasal spray, saline nasal spray, and various inhalers, were found opened and undated, making it impossible to determine their expiration dates. Manufacturer instructions for these medications specified discard dates after opening, which were not adhered to, indicating a lapse in following proper medication storage protocols. Similarly, on the Centerville Unit medication Cart One, additional medications such as Budesonide inhaler, ipratropium Bromide and albuterol sulfate, Dorzolamide eye solution, and Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative were also found opened and undated. Interviews with nursing staff, including a nurse, a unit manager, and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that medications should be labeled and dated when opened, and expired medications should not be present in the medication cart. This oversight in medication management reflects a failure to comply with the facility's policy on medication storage and preparation.
Failure to Provide Prescribed Therapeutic Diet
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the prescribed therapeutic diet for a resident who was admitted with diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The resident was prescribed a Mechanical Soft (Dental) Ground texture diet due to missing teeth and difficulty eating certain foods. However, the resident did not receive the appropriate ground textures during meals, as observed by the surveyor. The resident expressed difficulty eating bread due to missing teeth, and the surveyor noted that the resident's breakfast included toast, which the resident could not eat. Further observations revealed that the resident's lunch included an uncut grilled cheese sandwich with crust, which was not in line with the prescribed ground texture diet. The facility's Food Service Director and Registered Dietitian confirmed that the meal did not meet the ground texture requirement. The facility's therapeutic diets did not mention ground textures, and there was confusion about the resident's diet order. The resident had not been screened by Speech Therapy upon admission to the facility, which contributed to the oversight in providing the correct diet.
Inaccurate Medical Record and Equipment Setting
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an accurate medical record for a resident who was admitted in July 2023 with a diagnosis that included a pressure ulcer in the sacral region. The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) indicated moderate impaired cognition and the presence of a pressure ulcer. Physician orders from December 2023 required a specialty air mattress to be set at 165 lbs and checked every shift to aid in wound healing. However, observations on two consecutive days in October 2024 revealed the air mattress was set at 180 lbs, contrary to the physician's orders. Despite this discrepancy, the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for October 2024 showed that nurses inaccurately documented the mattress setting as 165 lbs. Interviews with the Unit Manager and Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that the mattress should be set according to the resident's weight, which was 178 lbs, and that the documentation in the TAR was incorrect.
Failure to Support Resident Self-Determination in Meal Choices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to support residents' right to self-determination by not facilitating their choice to eat meals in their rooms. A notification letter was issued to all residents, indicating that they were required to eat in the dining room unless they were ill or had approval from nursing staff. Additionally, the letter stated that nursing staff would no longer deliver meal plates to residents' rooms, forcing some residents to transport their meals themselves, even if they had approval to eat in their rooms. This policy change was not communicated in a timely manner, causing distress among the residents who felt their rights were being infringed upon. During a tour, a surveyor observed a resident using a rolling walker to transport a meal plate to their room, without any assistance from the nursing staff present in the hallway. The resident expressed difficulty and frustration with this process, citing challenges in balancing hot food items and beverages on the walker. Another resident, who preferred to eat in their room due to anxiety, also had to transport their meal using a cane, which they found hard but necessary to avoid the dining room. Both residents were independent in mobility and eating but faced significant challenges due to the facility's policy. Interviews with staff, including the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Director of Social Services, revealed concerns about the safety and homelike environment of the facility. The DON acknowledged that residents should feel at home and have the right to eat their meals wherever they choose. However, the facility's administration implemented the policy to address pest control issues, as reported by their pest control company. The administration's decision to require residents to transport their meals independently, even if they had approval to eat in their rooms, led to the observed deficiencies in supporting residents' rights and ensuring their safety and comfort during mealtimes.
