became "fearful of Resident 7 and afraid to go
to sleep."

on 12/7/16 at 8:40 a.m., Director of Nursing
(DON) was asked if Resident 7's abusive
behavior, which took place on 9/2/16 was
reported to her and/or administrator. DON
stated Resident 7's allegation of abusive
behavior should have been reported to her and
to the administrator in order for the allegation of
abuse to have been investigated.
During an interview on 12/8/16 at 5:32 a.m.,
when Licensed Staff J was asked why she did
not report Resident 7's physical and abusive
behavior to the DON and /or administrator,

12:00 a.m.), Licensed Staff J stated she did not
feel it was at the level of abuse to report the
incident. Licensed Staff J stated Resident 7

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to report one case of resident to
resident altercation, which occurred on 9/2/16
at 12:00 a.m., involving one Sample Resident
(Resident 7) and 3 Unsampled Residents
(Resident 28, 33, and 34) to the Department
within 24 hours of the occurrence. This had the
potential to decrease the Department's ability
to ensure a complete investigation and
interventions were started to protect other
residents as well as those residents involved so
there was no reoccurrence of abusive
behaviors.
Findings:
Review of Resident 7's "Nurse's Notes" dated
9/2/1/16, indicated Resident 7's behavior was
out of control. Resident 7, who was in her
wheelchair, was sitting in doorway of her room
refusing to let her roommates (Resident 28, 33,

During concurrent record review and interview
on 12/7/16 at 8:40 a.m., Director of Nursing

behavior, which took place on 9/2/16, should
have been reported to: 1. her and/or the
administrator, and 2. State
licensing/certification agency, police, and
ombudsman. DON stated Resident 7's
aggressive behavior was documented on the
"24 Hour Report" flow sheet, which was filled
out by the nurse each shift documenting
relevant resident information, and the
information was then passed on to the nurse on
the following shift. DON stated the "24 Hour
Report" goes to the facility's daily Stand-up
meeting, which includes all department heads.
The "24 Hour Report" flow sheet dated 9/2/16
relevant to the residents on C Wing, indicated
Resident 7 was abusive, both verbally and
physically, and Resident 28 and 33 were fearful
of Resident 7. DON stated she did not see the
incident on the "24 Hour Report" due to she
had been working nights and had not attended
the Stand-up meeting on 9/2/16. DON stated
Resident 7's allegation of abusive behavior
should have been reported to her and to the
Administrator in order for the allegation of
abuse to have been investigated, and reported

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure each
resident was treated with dignity and respect
for two unsampled residents (Resident 17 and
18) when call lights were not answered in a
timely manner and Resident 17's need of
getting out of the bed earlier in the morning
was not honored. These failures resulted in
residents not being assisted timely, Resident
17 stayed wet with the urine and reported it
made her feel bad, and potentially
compromised residents' physical and
psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview
on 10/25/16, at 8:05 a.m., Resident 17 was in
bed and alert. Resident 17 stated sometimes
she had to wait for a long time, up to
approximately 30 minutes, for staff answering
her call light and assisting her. Resident 17
stated this long waiting time happened anytime
of the day. Resident 17 stated she felt really
bad when she needed to go to the bathroom.
When asked what would happen if she needed
to go to the bathroom, Resident 17 stated "just
have to wait."
During a concurrent observation and interview
on 12/5/16, at 3:05 p.m., Resident 17 was
sitting in a wheelchair at bedside. Resident 17
stated she usually had to wait for more than 30
minutes for staff answering her call light and
assisting her. Resident 17 stated she felt bad

During an interview on 11/8/16, at 9:10 a.m.,
the DON stated the facility's standard practice
and her expectation was for the charge nurse
to notify the physician on the same work shift
the resident fell, either by fax or by calling the
physician depending on the severity of injury.
The physician's order dated 10/14/16 indicated:
Schedule Norco 5/325 (strength of the Norco)
as one tablet by mouth 4 times a day for one
week, then one tablet by mouth 3 times a day
for one week, then one tablet by mouth 2 times
a day for one week, then one tablet by mouth
every morning for one week and off
(discontinue).
The care plan for pain initiated on 8/4/16, did
not indicate Resident 3 was to have Norco
tapered and did not indicate approaches
specific for to taper the medication.
During a concurrent interview and record
review on 10/26/16, at 8:10 a.m., when asked
what care plan for tapering the Norco was for
Resident 3, Licensed Staff B provided the MAR
(medication administration record) with the
Norco administration schedule. When asked
again for care planning and what would he do
when Resident 3 kept asking for Norco,
Licensed Staff B stated he would re-direct
Resident 3 by telling her that physician ordered
for her narcotics to be tapered and she had to
wait for the next scheduled dose. Licensed
Staff B stated he had not reviewed the chart if
the chart contained any care plan for tapering
the Narcotics.
During an interview on 10/26/16, at 8:35 a.m.,
the DON stated she did not care plan the
tapering Narcotics for Resident 3 and believed
care plan was not in place. The DON reviewed
Resident 3's chart and stated there was no
care plan and she understood the need to care

plan how the facility would help the resident in
tapering the Norco besides telling her to wait.
The DON stated Resident 3 had drug seeking
behaviors, kept asking for Norco and staff had
to tell her to wait.
During an interview on 11/1/16, at 9:20 a.m.,
the DON stated Resident 3's recent x-ray result
after the fall on 10/20/16 indicated a condition
that required a physician's referral for Resident
3 to have a hip replacement.
Resident 3's x-ray result dated 10/27/16,
indicated Resident 3 had "Severe avascular
necrosis of the left hip without evidence of
acute fracture." Avascular necrosis is a
condition commonly occurs in the hip when
there is loss of blood to the bone and could
cause the bone to die and collapse. The
symptoms of avascular necrosis include severe
pain that interferes with the ability to use the
joint when the disease progresses and the
bone and joint collapse.
During an interview on 11/3/16, at 2:35 p.m.,
when asked if the facility evaluated the
underlying cause of the pain since Resident 3's
admission until the x-ray on 10/27/16, the DON
stated she was not aware of an evaluation of
the underlying cause of the pain. The DON
stated Resident 3 had been treated for chronic
pain and based on the admission diagnoses.
The DON stated Resident 3 was not being sent
out for imaging or work ups because Resident
3's insurance did not cover for rehabilitation.
During an interview on 11/8/16, at 10:05 a.m.,
when asked what was her expectation of being
notified a resident's fall, Physician S stated the
facility staff usually notified her the same day or
the day after the fall by fax or phone. Physician
S stated staff should have notified her earlier of
Resident 3's fall. Physician S stated Resident

3's avascular necrosis did not result from the
fall, but avascular necrosis could cause
increased pain. Physician S stated Resident 3
had chronic hip pain and after the fall, she
looked deeper and found Resident 3 had
avascular necrosis of the hip. Physician S
stated she referred Resident 3 for a hip
replacement. Physician S stated she tried to
taper Resident 3's Narcotics, but now she
could not taper the Narcotics because of
Resident 3's left hip avascular necrosis.
During a concurrent observation and interview
on 12/6/16, at 8:16 a.m., Resident 3 was eating
breakfast. Resident 3's face was grimacing.
Resident 3 stated she was "in a lot of pain" and
needed medications. Resident 3 put on the call
light. Unlicensed Staff AA responded to the call
light and told Resident 3 that she would tell the
nurse about the pain. Unlicensed Staff AA left
the room and came back at 8:21 a.m. and told
Resident 3 that the nurse [Licensed Staff B]
stated he would give Resident 3 medications
when the nurse arrived here [Resident 3's
room]. Resident 3 stated Licensed Staff B
would go room by room giving residents
medications and asked what room Licensed
Staff B was at this time. Unlicensed Staff AA
stated the nurse was at room 2, which was
about four rooms away.
During an interview on 12/6/16, at 12:40 p.m.,
regarding Resident 3's pain, Licensed Staff B
stated Resident 3 had drug seeking behaviors
and made up the pain. Licensed Staff B stated
after x-ray of the left hip and found avascular
necrosis, Resident 3 started complaining of left
hip pain. Licensed Staff B stated he saw
Resident 3 was in the wheelchair and selfpropelled down the hallway that morning, but
Resident 3 did not complain of pain. Licensed

During an interview on 12/9/16, at 7:20 a.m.,
the DON stated the nurse should have

(a)(1) A resident is given the appropriate
treatment and services to maintain or improve
his or her ability to carry out the activities of
daily living, including those specified in
paragraph (b) of this section.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the RNA
(restorative nursing assistant) program was
being continued as physician prescribed for 2
of 16 sample residents (Resident 7 & 11).
This failure resulted in a disruption in treatment,
and had the potential for residents to have a
decline in range of motion, strength and
endurance, an increase in joint pain and
depression, and an overall decrease in
activities in daily living (ADLs).
Findings:
During an interview on 12/8/16 at 9:35 a.m.,
when DON was asked about the facility's RNA
program, she stated we have been
shorthanded due to one RNA left recently,
which left us with one RNA. DON stated
another RNA has been hired from one of our
sister facility's; he is experienced and will be
starting soon.
Review of the clinical records titled,

Plan," indicated the physical therapist had
referred Resident 7 and 11 to the RNA program
on 11/21/16. Resident 7 was discharged from

fall when Resident 3 reported having fallen on
10/20/16. This resulted in Resident 3 not being
evaluated after the fall until 10/25/16 (five days
after the fall).
4. Resident 5 had six falls during a six and a
half months period from 5/24/16 to 12/6/16. On
5/24/16, Resident 5 fell and sat on the floor in
the bathroom which was wet with urine. A fall
on 11/23/16 resulted in Resident 5 sustaining a
small skin tear on the top ridge of the nose on
11/23/16 at 9:35 p.m. (which was the second
fall on the same day 11/23/16).
5. Resident 4 had three falls during a one
month period from 8/16/2016 to 9/17/2016.
Resident 4 sustained a skin tear on the right
hand from a fall on 8/16/2016 and reopened a
skin tear on the right hand from a fall on
8/21/2016. Resident 4 had three more falls
during a one week period from 10/13/2016 to
10/17/2016, which resulted in a nasal bone
(nose) fracture from a fall on 10/13/2016.
6. Resident 6 had multiple falls in a six months
period from 5/22/16 to 11/25/16. Resident 6
sustained bleeding in the head from the fall on
8/1/16; a laceration (cut) on the left side of the
head which required eight staples from the fall
on 10/13/16. Resident 6 sustained a laceration
on the right side of the head from the fall on
11/25/16.
7. Licensed Staff did not revise Resident 14's
(who had one unwitnessed fall on 11/4/16,
which resulted in a skin tear to the left elbow
and a fractured pelvis) "Fall Care Plan" to
indicate Resident 14 was to be on "one on one"
with staff at all times starting 11/5/16 per
physician's order. This failure to revise
Resident 14's "Fall Care Plan" had the potential
for Resident 14 to fall again causing injury or
even death.

day Resident 1 fell, Resident 1 walked to the
restroom in the hallway and grabbed the spring
rod, which the housekeeper placed in the
doorway for cleaning. Licensed Staff A stated
Resident 1 thought the rod was the handrail, so
Resident 1 leaned her body backward while
grabbing the rod. Licensed Staff A stated
Resident 1 fell on the floor because the rod
was not stable and fell off the doorway.
Licensed Staff A stated no staff walked with
Resident 1 because it was Resident 1's routine
to walk to the restroom by herself using the
handrails. Licensed Staff A stated the biggest
mistake was lack of communication. Licensed
Staff A stated the housekeeper did not tell her
(Licensed Staff A) about placing the rod in the
restroom doorway,otherwise she would have
educated Resident 1 and let her feel the rod or
walked with her. Licensed Staff A stated the
rod was a new product but they should not use
it on the floor because it was dangerous.

the restroom, she left the rod with a sign across
the restroom doorway and went to another hall.
Housekeeping Staff P stated she did not tell
Resident 1 that the rod was left in the doorway.
Housekeeping Staff P stated she did not tell
any staff about the rod because they could see
it. Housekeeping Staff P stated from the
beginning of using this type of rod, she told the
housekeeping supervisor that the rod was
terrible and not good for use because the rod
did not have spring and was easy to fall off.
She stated the rod was not stable and when
people grabbed the rod, the rod fell.

lift in Resident 4's room. After the two CNAs left
the room, Resident 4 might have gotten up
from bed and fell. Resident 4's face might have
hit the base of the hoyer lift because the base
of the hoyer lift had blood. The DON stated the

code "STAT" and should not put one resident in
danger in order to help another resident.

483.45(e) Psychotropic Drugs.
Based on a comprehensive assessment of a
resident, the facility must ensure that-(1) Residents who have not used psychotropic
drugs are not given these drugs unless the
medication is necessary to treat a specific
condition as diagnosed and documented in the
clinical record;
(2) Residents who use psychotropic drugs
receive gradual dose reductions, and
behavioral interventions, unless clinically
contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue
these drugs;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, record and
facility document review, the facility failed to
ensure each resident's drug regimen was free
from four unnecessary drugs for 1 of 15
sampled residents (Resident 7) when Resident
7 was administered unnecessary medications
which increased her risk for fall injuries, an
adverse consequence, especially in the elderly,
because of sedative side effects. Ativan is a
benzodiazepine anxiolytic. Norco is an opiate
pain reliever. Benadryl is an antihistamine.
Seroquel is an antipsychotic. While on these
sedating medications, Resident 7 suffered five
documented falls between 3/7/16 and
10/16/16. Ativan and Seroquel were given
without adequate monitoring. Ativan and
Benadryl were duplicative as they were
different drugs prescribed for the same
condition of insomnia. Seroquel and Norco
were given without an indication which justified
its use. The facility's failure to ensure the
resident's medication regimen was free of
unnecessary drugs placed her at risk for over

Findings:
A review of the undated Facesheet showed
Resident 7 was an 84 year-old admitted to the
facility on 2/4/16 with diagnoses including:
diabetes, unspecified dementia without
behavioral disturbances, gastro-esophageal
reflux disease and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease.
A review of the Resident Admission
Assessment, dated 2/4/16, showed as part of
Resident 7's behavioral/cognitive assessment
that she had poor safety judgement. Her
musculoskeletal assessment showed she used
a walker and had weakness. Her fall risk
factors showed she had no history of falls
within the last six months, she was not visually
impaired, and had no impaired balance.
A review of Resident 7's history and physical
(H&P), dated 2/5/16 indicated she had no
pain. There was no reference to anxiety. The
H&P was signed by the resident's
attending physician (Physician S).
A review of Resident 7's physician orders
below showed Physician S ordered the
following medications which, according to the
manufacturers, have sedating effects:
On 2/4/16 Physician S ordered, "Ativan 1
milligram (mg) po BID prn [by mouth twice daily
as needed] for anxiety m/b [manifested by]
insomnia." Monitoring instructions for efficacy
showed, " Ativan: Monitor # [number] of hours
of sleep." Monitoring instructions for adverse
effects showed, "Sedation, drowsiness, ataxis
(drunk walk), dizziness ..." Orders dated
2/18/16 showed Ativan was increased to 1mg
prn q8 hours for anxiety manifested by
insomnia. Orders dated 7/16/16 showed Ativan
was decreased to 1mg BID prn anxiety.
On 2/4/16 Physician S ordered, "Norco 5/325
mg 2 tabs po prn q 4 hours for severe pain"
and "Norco 5/325 mg 1 tab po prn q 4 hours for

On 2/4/16 Physician S ordered, "Seroquel 50

On 12/7/16 at 10:30 a.m., in an interview with a
registered nurse, (Licensed Staff TT), she
indicated Resident 7 had fallen four times.
According to the nurse, in March, the resident
had an unwitnessed fall and was found sitting
on the floor. She indicated the ITD attributed
the fall to a slippery sole. In April the resident
fell twice. The first time she was sitting in her
wheelchair and fell out on her bottom. The
second time she was found on the floor and
said she slid out of her chair. In October there
was an unwitnessed fall in her bedroom she
stood up to ...wash her hands. The wheelchair
was not locked.
On 12/7/16 at 2:12 p.m., in an interview with
Physician S indicated she prescribed orders on
2/18/16 for Resident 7 to receive Ativan every 8
hours as needed for anxiety manifested by
insomnia. A record review showed she reduced
that to Ativan twice daily, then to once daily on

11/1/16 as needed for anxiety manifested by
insomnia. She acknowledged that her intent
was not to treat insomnia at all hours of the
day; rather it was to offer it at bedtime if the
resident could not sleep due to anxiety.
Physician S indicated that on 2/4/16 she
prescribed Benadryl 25 mg prn for insomnia.
Benadryl is an antihistamine that causes
sedation. Physician S indicated the addition of
Ativan was duplicative for insomnia but the
Resident manifested anxiety in other ways that
were not captured as targeted behaviors on the
MAR . A review of the residents PRN MAR for
April showed she received Benadryl 25mg
once on 4/23/16 and that it was still an active
order.
In the same interview, Physician S indicated
she prescribed Seroquel for "psychosis
manifested by verbal violence." Physician S
said, "The documentation is wrong." She
indicated that her intent was for the resident to
receive antipsychotics to treat psychosis
manifested by visual hallucinations and striking
out and episodes of being combative with staff.
Physician S indicated that staff were monitoring
for episodes of "verbal violence" such as
"yelling at people" rather than "visual
hallucinations" or "hitting or grabbing staff."
Physician S indicated staff provided summary
data on behavioral monitoring as requested but
acknowledged it was not useful in targeting
specific behavior patterns to consider when
evaluating changes to the resident's medication
regimen.
On 12/8/16 at 10:53 p.m., in an interview with
the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) he said, "I am
trying to explain to the facility and the MD
antipsychotics should not be used for dementia
and if they are to be used there are steps to go
through."

Logs which documented when and which
residents suffered falls in the facility during the
survey period. The DON said, "We have had
218 falls between January 2, 2016 and
December 6, 2016. Fifteen of them resulted in
serious injury." The DON described the serious
injuries included six hip fractures, three head
lacerations, two or three skin tears, a pelvic
fracture, a shoulder fracture, and a wrist
fracture. The DON indicated that Resident 7 did
not sustain any serious injuries as a result of
falls. When asked if the facility had identified a
cause or pattern to the resident's falls, the DON
indicated she thought it had to do with the
resident's wheelchair. She indicated that the
majority of falls happened on B wing and she
thought there had been no falls reported "in the
summer months when the students are here."
The DON indicated the facility had not
determined sedating drugs were a factor in any
of the reported falls.
A review of the facility's Incident Logs for the
survey period showed Resident 7 had five
documented falls on: 3/7/16 at 11:36 a.m.;
3/27/16 at 5:30 p.m.; 4/21/16 at 5:55 p.m.;
9/29/16 "p.m."; and 10/16/16 at 1:35 p.m.
On 12/8/16 at 3:30 p.m., in an interview,
Resident 7 complained of pain but did not
discuss falling.
On 12/8/16 at 3:50 p.m., in an interview with a
regional nurse consultant (Licensed Staff VV)
indicated the facility had determined the
majority of falls occurred on B Wing. The
reasons for the falls included: the residents
were "ambulatory", they "take shoes off",
"impulsive behavior", "cognitively impaired" and
they "don't know their limits." She indicated the
facility had not ruled out that contributing
factors could be lack of staffing, lack of
supervision, lack of monitoring, the effects of
sedating medications, unnecessary
medications, lack of staff motivation, the
condition of the residents, or not having an

A review of all available Interdisciplinary Team
Conference Records (ITC) corroborated that
the Resident 7 sustained falls in March, April,
and October. None of the records indicated that
over sedation from medications had been
considered as contributing factors for Resident
7's falls.
An ITC dated 3/8/16 showed, "Res [Resident]
found sitting on floor next to bed stating that
her slippers were too slippery." The document
indicated Resident 7 had a non-injury fall at
11:35 a.m. on 3/7/16. The only intervention
was "footwear inspected and does have a worn
slippery sole. New footwear provided ..."
An ITC 4/22/16 showed, "84 yr old female with
fall on 4/21/16 out of w/c onto her bottom on
the floor. The only interventions listed were to
see if the resident could move all her
extremities and "educate on need to lock her
wheelchair when attempting to reposition
herself."
An ITC dated 4/28/16 showed, "Last pm
resident slid out of w/c. The only intervention
recorded was the physician was called and
"Will assess result of UA [urinalysis] for fall
planning."
An ITC dated 10/17/16 showed, "Resident had
a non-injury fall on 10/16/16" while standing in
her room. The only intervention on the record
was, "will address w/c [wheelchair] safety with
locking brakes. Remind resident to get
assistance with ADLs [activities of daily living],

According to Lexi-Comp ONLINE, a nationally
recognized medication reference resource,
Seroquel , Norco and Benadryl could both
produce sedative effects, including drowsiness.
A review of Resident 7's April Medication
Administration Record (MAR) showed the
following:
Resident 7 was given her morning and evening
doses of Seroquel every day in April except for
the morning dose on 4/9/16 and 4/23/16. The
diagnosis for Seroquel for the first 12 days of
April was "dementia with verbal violence." On
April 13 the diagnosis was changed to
"Psychosis NOS" and added to the MAR. She
had zero episodes documented for "verbal
violence" on all shifts for the month.
Resident 7 was given Ativan on 4/1/16, 4/6/16,
and 4/9/16. The reason documented by the
nurse on 4/1/16 was "c/o [complaint of] anxiety"
not "insomnia". No reasons for administration
were documented for the other doses. The
April MAR showed she slept between 6-7 hours
on average that month.
Resident 7 was given Ativan on 9/6/16 and
9/22/16. The reason documented by the nurse
on 9/6/16 for the 6:30 p.m. dose was "inability
to sleep". There was no documentation for the
other dose. The resident averaged 6-7 hours
of sleep per night in the month of September.
Resident 7 was given Ativan on 10/3/16 and
10/20/16. The reason documented by the nurse
on 10/20/16 at 2:30 p.m. was "anxiety" not
"insomnia". The October MAR showed she
slept between five to seven hours every night
that month.
Resident 7 was given her morning and evening
doses of Seroquel every day in September.
She had zero episodes documented for "verbal

A review of Resident 7's October MAR showed
the following:
Resident 7 was given her morning and evening
doses of Seroquel every day in October. She
had zero episodes documented for "verbal
violence" on all shifts for the month except for
10/21 and 10/23.
A review of the facility's Pain Management
Orders, dated 2/3/16, showed Resident 7's
pain was assessed each shift using the facility's
subjective pain scale. On a scale of 0-10, zero
indicated no pain; 1-3 indicated mild pain; 4-7
indicated moderate pain; and 8-10 indicated
severe pain. The order for moderate pain
signed by Physician S showed, "Norco 5/325
mg [milligrams] one tablet every four hours
PRN [as needed] Moderate pain Moderate Pain
Score 4-7 (1-10)."The order for severe pain
signed by Physician S showed, "Norco 5/325
mg two tablets every four hours PRN Moderate
pain Moderate Pain Score 4-7 (1-10)."
Resident 7 was given two tablets of Norco
5/325 mg (prescribed for severe pain) on the

this section, licensed nurses; and
(ii) Other nursing personnel, including but not
limited to nurse aides.
(a)(2) Except when waived under paragraph (e)
of this section, the facility must designate a
licensed nurse to serve as a charge nurse on
each tour of duty.
(a)(3) The facility must ensure that licensed
nurses have the specific competencies and skill
sets necessary to care for residents’ needs, as
identified through resident assessments, and
described in the plan of care.
(a)(4) Providing care includes but is not limited
to assessing, evaluating, planning and
implementing resident care plans and
responding to resident’s needs.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide adequate
nursing staff to provide quality care to their
residents. This failure had resulted in resident
care needs not being met and contributed to
resident falls and injuries due to inadequate
staff supervision of residents. This failure also
had the potential to prevent residents from
attaining or maintaining their highest
practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial
well-being.

Resident 17 and 18 were deemed by the facility
to be interviewable.
During an interview on 10/26/16, at 3:55 p.m.,
Unlicensed Staff L stated they did not have
enough CNA. Unlicensed Staff L stated the
facility reduced the number of CNAs from three
to two CNAs on B wing (a memory unit for
residents who have memory problems).
Unlicensed Staff L stated it was very stressful
because Unlicensed Staff L could not do things
for the residents as he wanted to do (i.e. brush
their teeth, wash their hands, giving a bed bath,
and other things) because of short staffing.
Unlicensed Staff L stated they were not able to
check residents as frequently as they would to
prevent residents from falling. Unlicensed Staff
L stated two CNAs were not enough and they
needed three CNAs. Unlicensed Staff L stated
the Hall Monitors (staff) could not provide any
resident care; they just watched the residents
and walked with the residents.
During an interview on 10/26/16, at 2:50 p.m.,
regarding staffing for fall prevention and
management, the DON stated they increased
Hall Monitor to B wing.
During an interview on 11/3/16, at 2:35 p.m.,
when asked if the Hall Monitors were trained to
prevent falls, the DON stated the Hall Monitors
were trained to look if alarms were intact or
pads were on the floor and to report to the
nursing staff for anything was out of ordinary.
The DON stated a Hall Monitor was a facility
staff member but was not a care giver. The
DON stated the Hall Monitors did not do hands
on resident care; they could guide the resident
and gently hold the resident's hands/elbows.

During an interview on 12/7/16, at 4:45 p.m.,
Staffing Coordinator DD stated she did the
schedules for all CNAs and RNAs (restorative
nursing assistant). Staffing Coordinator DD
stated she scheduled staff according to the
resident census and number of falls. Staffing
Coordinator DD stated for full census, she
usually scheduled three CNAs for AM and PM
shifts in one unit (facility had three units: A
wing, B wing, C wing) and each CNA had 12
residents; two CNAs for night shift each unit
and each CNA had 22 residents. Staffing
Coordinator DD stated if there were a lot of falls
(on 12/8/16 at 10:35 a.m., she stated to her,
one fall was a lot) in a unit, she would schedule
more CNAs or Hall Monitors to that unit.
Staffing Coordinator DD stated Hall Monitors
walked back and forth in the hallway. If the Hall
Monitor saw a resident getting out of bed, the
Hall Monitor reported to the CNA or the nurse.
The Hall Monitors were not certified for resident
care. Staffing Coordinator DD stated the Hall
Monitor might not be able to prevent the fall
because when the CNA or nurse arrived to the
resident's room, the resident might have

for one CNA in one work shift, Staffing
Coordinator DD provided time required for each
routine task. She stated AM and PM shifts
were about the same. The calculation of the
time revealed a minimum of 850 minutes for
one CNA to complete the routine tasks in a
given AM or PM shift; each CNA had a total of
510 minutes per shift, which was 340 minutes
short. Staffing Coordinator DD did not provide
details of all tasks for night shift but stated the
tasks for night shift were more on repositioning,
toileting, catheter care, and peri care (cleaning
the urinary, vaginal, and rectal areas).
Upon requested for the days and shifts when
Staff Coordinator DD scheduled more CNAs
than a routine schedule because of "a lot of
falls," twice on 12/8/16 at 10:35 am., and 6:40
p.m., Staff Coordinator DD did not provide the
days and shifts.
During an interview on 10/26/2016, at 8:45
a.m., Licensed Staff E stated she doesn't use
the care plan/update as it is difficult to use and
she was not sure how to use it. Licensed Staff
E stated, "sometimes there's a 1:1(person who
cares for just one resident), but not often."
Licensed Staff E stated the staff at the facility
kept an eye on residents in the hallway. She
stated, "This is how we manage."
During an interview on 10/26/2016, at 11:05
a.m., Licensed Staff F stated 1:1 care doesn't
occur too often-because of "census and staffing
issues, "not enough staff available and low
census.
During an interview on 10/26/2016, at 12:01
p.m., Unlicensed Staff M stated, "Especially on
PMs there is not enough staff to watch
everyone so a 1:1 for a resident really helps".

segregated for three days after the unsampled
resident (Resident 35) was discharged. Written

were segregated to prevent accidental
dispensing. The facility's failure had the
potential to cause a dispensing error and
subsequent harm to all residents as a result of
accidental selection of the wrong medication
from stock. The facility census was 68.
Findings:
1. On 2/5/16 at 2:16 p.m., during an
observation of a medication room (Medication
Room 3) on C wing with a registered nurse
(Licensed Staff TT), a tube of triple antibiotic
ointment, 30 grams (g) was observed on the
shelf of the medication room. Triple antibiotic
ointment is a topical antibiotic used for minor
wounds. The tube had a label affixed by the
manufacturer which showed, "For external use
only." On the same shelf, the surveyor
observed a bottle of docusate sodium, 250 mg,
and quantity 100 gelcaps. Docusate sodium is
s stool softener intended for internal use only.
The bottle of docusate sodium had a label
affixed by the manufacturer which showed, "For

On 12/5/16 at 2:44 p.m., during an interview,
Licensed Staff B said, "You don't store
medications for internal use with external use."
He indicated that the facility's policies and
procedures prohibited storage of medications
indicated for internal use with medications
intended for external use only because it could
cause resident harm if there was an accidental
mix up.
On 12/8/16 at 10:53 a.m., during an interview,
the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) indicated he
was unaware that medications intended for
internal use were being stored next to
medications intended for internal use only. He
indicated this was a potentially dangerous
practice because staff could select the wrong
product and accidentally administer it to a
resident via the wrong route.
A review of the facility's policy titled,
MEDICATION STORAGE IN THE FACILITY,
dated 2/23/16, showed, "Orally administered
medications are kept separate from externally
used medications, such as suppositories,
liquids, and lotions.
2. On 12/5/16 at 3:02 p.m., during an

The Director of Nursing (DON) was asked to
provide all written policies and procedures
related to disposition of discharged
medications. A review of these did not provide
guidance to staff on how to dispose or handle
discharged medications. A review of the
facility's policy titled, DISPOSAL OF
MEDICATIONS AND MEDICATION-RELATED
SUPPLIES, dated 2/23/15, showed, "When
discharged, remaining medications that have
been administered to the resident while in the
facility may be provided to the resident at the
time of discharge.." The policy showed,"
Medications remaining in the facility after the
time of discharge will be disposed in
accordance with state and federal regulations."
On 12/6/16 at 10:09 a.m., in an interview the
DON indicated she could not find a written
policy and procedure for disposition of noncontrolled substance medications for
discharged residents when medications were
not taken home by the resident.

Based on interview and record review the
facility did not ensure that irregularities in the
drug regimen of one sampled resident of 15
(Resident 7) reported by the consultant
pharmacist (CP) were acted upon within two
weeks in accordance with the facilities policies
and procedures. The facility's failure had the
potential to cause harm (e.g. serious injuries
such as fractures from falls) to Resident 7 as a
result of administration of unnecessary
medications. Duplicate medications Ativan (an
anxiolytic) and Benadryl (an antihistamine)
were not identified as an irregularity when they
were both prescribed for insomnia.
Findings:
A review of the facility's regular monthly
reports, titled, Consultant Pharmacist's
Medication Regimen Review, signed by the
facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP), showed
he identified irregularities in the drug regimen
of Resident 7 between the months of January
2016 and November 2016. The reports were
provided by the Director of Nursing (DON). A
review of the reports with the DON showed
recommendations by the CP were documented
on a separate, written report and included the
Resident 7's name and the irregularities the
pharmacist identified with respect to specific
unnecessary drugs. [Reference F - 329]
A review of the Consultant Pharmacist (CP)
contract showed the CP was responsible for
documenting "potential or actual medication
therapy problems and communicates them to
the responsible physician and the director of
nursing." The contract stated, "The physician
provides a written response to the report to the
facility within two weeks after the report is
sent."
On 12/7/16 at 3:30 p.m., in an interview the
DON indicated she received all the
pharmacist's recommendations and ensured
the facility had faxed them all to Physician S

timely. The DON indicated she was uncertain
whether or not all the recommendations had
been acted upon by the facility. She said, "I
believe so." She indicated that some of the
recommendations were routed to medical
records to address and the others went to the
Medical Director (Physician S). She indicated
there was no organized system in place
currently to ensure follow up.
On 6/22/16 the CP sent a written
recommendation to Physician S which showed,
"Would you consider DC [discontinue] Ativan
1mg [milligrams] prn [as needed] q8h [every
eight hours] for anxiety." Note: Insomnia is
generally treated at bedtime not every eight
hours.
A review of Physician Orders dated 7/16/16
showed Ativan was not discontinued as
recommended. Physician S ordered Ativan
decreased to 1mg BID [twice daily] prn anxiety
manifested by insomnia. A review of the
resident's record showed no documentation by
Physician S to discontinue Ativan and there
was no rational documented for its use twice a
day as needed to treat anxiety manifested by
insomnia.
On 9/28/16 the CP sent a written
recommendation to Physician S which showed,
"The Care Plan has no info in the "At Risk For"
section of the Behavioral / Psychotropic page.
This should contain side effects and any other
risks involved with this medication."
A review of the Care Plan section for
Behavioral / Psychotropic showed it was not
updated until 10/11/16 to include "side effects sedation, drowsiness ..." Other than a box
checked, "Resident will show minimal side
effects of medications" the Care Plan did not
address the risk of falls at all. The Fall Risk and
Prevention Page listed "Seroquel 25mg" under
medications as a problem, but as of 12/5/16 it
had not been updated since the entry on 2/6/16
and did not reflect Resident 7's routine daily

dose of 75 mg per day.
On 9/28/16 the CP sent a written
recommendation to Physician S which showed,
"The MAR reveals 2 episodes [verbal violence]
recorded in the last 30 days. Would you
consider DC Seroquel 50 mg QPM for
Psychosis ... and begin Seroquel 25 mg QPM
for Psychosis..." The recommendation was
faxed on 10/11/16 to Physician S.
A review of the current physician orders on
12/5/16 showed no change and no written
rationale by the prescriber. Seroquel is not
indicated for dementia or dementia-related
psychosis manifested by "verbal violence".
On 2/4/16 Physician S ordered, "Benadryl 25
mg po prn qhs for insomnia." Concomitant use
of Ativan and Benadryl for insomnia is
duplicative. A review of the residents PRN
MAR for April showed she received Benadryl
25mg once on 4/23/16 and that it was still an
active order as of 12/5/16.
On 12/7/16 at 2:12 p.m., in an interview with
Physician S indicated she prescribed orders on
2/18/16 for Resident 7 to receive Ativan every 8
hours as needed for anxiety manifested by
insomnia. She acknowledged that her intent
was not to treat insomnia at all hours of the
day; rather it was to offer it at bedtime if the
resident could not sleep due to anxiety. She
indicated she follows up on the consultant
pharmacists recommendations. She said, "The
documentation is wrong."
On 12/8/16 at 10:53 p.m., in an interview with
the CP he said, "I am trying to explain to the
facility and the MD [physician] antipsychotics
should not be used for dementia and if they are
to be used there are steps to go through."

(2) The facility must provide separately locked,
permanently affixed compartments for storage
of controlled drugs listed in Schedule II of the
Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and
Control Act of 1976 and other drugs subject to
abuse, except when the facility uses single unit
package drug distribution systems in which the
quantity stored is minimal and a missing dose
can be readily detected.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interviews, and record
review, the facility failed to store all drugs and
biologicals in locked compartments for one of
three medication carts (Medication Cart B). The
facility's failure placed all residents in B Wing, a
memory care unit, at risk for accessing
medications in the medication cart which had
the potential to cause accidental ingestion and
overdose. The facility's census on B wing was
27.
Findings:
On 2/5/16 at 4:15 p.m., during a medication
pass observation with licensed vocation nurse
(Licensed Staff Z) on B wing, a memory care
unit used to treat residents with dementia,
Licensed Nurse Z prepared medications from
Medication Cart B outside Medication Room B
for a resident (Sampled Resident 14). The
nurse walked away from the cart towards the
resident's room without locking the cart. The
cart had a push button keyed lock mechanism
which protruded one inch when open and was
flush with the cart when locked. The surveyor
opened the second drawer where unit dose
medications for residents on the unit were
stored. There was no other staff in the area and
Licensed Nurse Z did not attempt to lock the
cart or ask authorized personnel to attend the
cart in her absence.
On 12/5/16 at 4:55 p.m., during an interview
with the Director of Nursing (DON), she said,

"Residents on a memory unit would eat
something thinking it was candy. It is my
expectation that staff lock the cart when
unattended."
On 12/5/16 at 5:00 p.m., during an interview,
Licensed Nurse Z said, "I usually lock the cart
always. I didn't realize it was unlocked."
A review of the facility's policy titled,
"MEDICATION STORAGE IN THE FACILITY",
dated 2/23/15, showed under the policy
section, "Medications and biologicals are stored
safely, securely, and properly..." The
medication supply is accessible only to license
nursing personnel, or staff members authorized
to administer medications. The same policy
showed, under the procedures section, "Only
licensed nurses, pharmacy personnel, and
those lawfully authorized to administer
medications are allowed access to
medications. Medication rooms, carts and
medication supplies are locked or attended by
persons with authorized access.

(f) Annual review. The facility will conduct an
annual review of its IPCP and update their
program, as necessary.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observations, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to maintain:
1) Washer Machine temperature on or above
160° Fahrenheit (F) for 25 minutes during hot
water cycles.
2) Essential Equipments are maintained
according to manufacturers' recommendation.
3) Quaternary sanitizer solution to clean

by:
Based on interview, clinical record, and facility
policy review the facility failed to ensure:
1. The post-fall assessments of Resident 7
were complete and accurate following an
unwitnessed fall. This failure had the potential
to result in inappropriate care or treatment of
Resident 7 due to inaccurate assessment with
the potential for serious injury to go unnoted.
2. Complete and accurate documentation of
Resident 11's belongings upon her admission
when her "Resident's Clothing and
Possessions" document was left blank. This
had the potential for Resident 11's belongings
to get lost or not returned to her when
belongings were not recorded.
3. Resident 6's Physician's Telephone orders
did not include: signature of the ordering
physician, the date, time and licensed nurse
received the order.
4. Resident 6's Medication Recap orders were
improperly documented.
These failures had the potential for incomplete
or inaccurate data necessary for medication

(i) Sanctions. Good faith attempts by the
committee to identify and correct quality
deficiencies will not be used as a basis for
sanctions.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility's quality assessment and assurance
committee (QAA) failed to:
1. Develop formal corrective action plans or
implement the action plans to prevent falls,
(Cross Reference F 323)
2. Identify staffing issues and ensure sufficient
staffing to provide quality resident care, (Cross
Reference F 241 and F 353)
3. Communicate QAA minutes to the staff.
These failures prevented the QAA committee
from implementing and evaluating an action
plan to correct quality deficiencies and
therefore was not able to determine
effectiveness of changes to be implemented.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record
review regarding QAA on 10/26/16, at 2:50
p.m., regarding resident falls, the DON (director
of nursing) stated the QAA committee collected
data including number of falls each month, but
did not develop formal action plans to prevent
falls. The DON stated direct care staff including
CNAs (certified nursing assistant) and nurses
were not included in the QAA process and
were not invited to the QAA meeting.
During an interview on 11/3/16, at 2:35 p.m.,
when asked if the Hall Monitors were trained to
prevent falls, the DON stated the Hall Monitors
were trained to look if alarms (a device
attached to the resident that triggers an alarm

wheelchair or the bed) were intact or pads were
on the floor to prevent injuries from a fall and to
report to the nursing staff if anything was out of
the ordinary. The DON stated Hall Monitors
were facility staff but were not care givers. The
DON stated the Hall Monitors did not do hands
on resident care; they could guide the resident
and gently hold the resident's hands/elbows.
During an interview on 11/10/16, at 10:40 a.m.,
the Administrator stated B wing was the
memory unit (residents had memory problems).
The Administrator stated originally they had a
total of three Hall Monitors covered from 6 a.m.
to 8:30 p.m. The Administrator stated the first
Hall Monitor worked from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.;
the second Hall Monitor worked from 9 a.m. to
5:30 p.m.; and the third Hall Monitor worked
from 12 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The Administrator
stated about a week ago they increased the
Hall Monitor to a total of four to cover 24 hours.
She stated now the third Hall Monitor worked
from 2:15 p.m. to 10:45 p.m., and the fourth
Hall Monitor worked from 10:45 p.m. to 7:15
a.m. the next day.
During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/8/16, at 3 p.m., regarding QAA,
the Administrator stated the QAA developed an
action plan for fall prevention and management
and the plan was started at the end of October,
2016. The Administrator provided and reviewed
the action plan. The Administrator stated they
tried to find the root cause of each fall but did
not find the root cause of high incidence of falls
or repeated falls in the facility as a whole. The
Administrator stated some of the approaches of
the action plan had not been implemented.
When asked the reasons for the approaches
not being implemented, the Administrator did
not provide an answer. Regarding the
effectiveness of the action plan when the

falls on November 2016 (numbers of falls were
based on incident logs), the Administrator
stated they had not evaluated the action plan
because the next QAA meeting had not
occurred but will be coming up soon. The
action plan did not indicate a measurable goal
with a target date.
2. The Administrator stated their target for
staffing was to have six to seven CNAs
(certified nursing assistant) in the whole
building for AM (morning) and PM
(afternoon/evening) shifts so each CNA took
care of 9 - 11 residents in an eight-hour shift.
When asked if a CNA had sufficient time to
take care of 9 - 11 residents, the Administrator
stated "yes" because the activity staff,
scheduler, and RNA (restorative nursing
assistant) were also CNAs and helped for
dining. The Administrator further stated one
CNA had more than 15 residents in night shift.
The Administrator stated the facility did not
have staffing problems.

a.m., Unlicensed Staff BB stated there was no
communication from the management to "us"
[certified nursing assistants]. Unlicensed Staff
BB stated they just put up signs in the utility
room and in the resident's room and "hoping us
to know" what was going on. Unlicensed Staff
BB stated when she looked at the sign with a
picture of a bed without written instructions in
Resident 2's room, she thought it was the
instruction to put the head of the bed down with
feet up and so she did. Unlicensed Staff BB
stated after that they wrote "keep bed low,
keep bed at an angle."
During an interview on 12/9/16, at 7:20 a.m.,
the DON stated the plan was to put the bed in
an angle to prevent resident from injuries from
