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.

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."

Seroquel: Monitor Parkinsonism (tremors, drooling, rigidity) q shift and tally by hash marks." 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.

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."

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 FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: G9FK11 Facility ID: CA010000078 If continuation sheet 67 of 124 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

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.

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.

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 internal use only." On 12/5/16 at 2:44 p.m., during an observation of a medication room (Medication Room 1) on A wing with a licensed vocational nurse (Licensed Staff B), a bottle of Risperidone Oral Solution, 1 milligram (mg) per milliliter (mL), 30 mL, was observed on the second shelf of the medication room. Risperidone Oral solution is an antipsychotic medication intended for internal use. The bottle of Risperidone had a label affixed by the manufacturer which showed, "For internal use only." On the same shelf, the surveyor observed three bottles of benzoin compound, 29 mL. Benzoin is used to protect small wounds.

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 observation of a medication room (Medication Room 1) in A wing with a licensed vocational nurse (Licensed Staff B), a vial of Lantus insulin 10 milliliters (mL) 100 units per mL, a medication used to treat high blood glucose levels for diabetic patients, was observed in stock in the refrigerator in a red plastic bin. The label on the insulin showed the name of an unsampled resident (Resident 35). On 12/5/16 at 3:02 p.m., during an interview, Licensed Staff B said, "She [Resident 35] was discharged December 2nd Friday.

He said, "The red bin is for storage of refrigerated injectable meds for residents with current orders." 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.

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."

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.

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."

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.

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 FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: G9FK11 Facility ID: CA010000078 If continuation sheet 120 of 124 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

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.

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. 3. During an interview on 12/7/16, at 11:45 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."

The DON stated she educated the staff about the sign but did not have a log to ensure all staff were educated and understood the sign. The facility's policy and procedure titled "Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee - Composition & Duties," date revised 1/1/12, indicated under Purpose "To promote the quality of resident care by overseeing, identifying, tracking, addressing and follow-up on all quality issues."
