F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans (a detailed, patient-centered document that summarizes a patient's medical, functional, and psychosocial needs and goals, outlining the interventions and resources needed to achieve them) for two of 18 residents (Resident 33 and 9) who's care plans were reviewed, when: 1. Resident 33 had a deep tissue injury (DTI, localized damage to the skin and tissue caused by pressure on an area for a long time) and there was no care plan developed.2. Resident 9 was noted to be missing teeth on admission and there was no oral/dental care plan developed. These failures had the potential to decrease the physical, psychosocial, and emotional well being of Residents 33 and 9.Findings: 1. A review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive, reviewed August 2024, indicated the policy statement is A comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident. It further indicated at paragraph number 5, subset-e, The comprehensive care plan will: Incorporate identified problem areas. A review of Resident 33's clinical record indicated Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included broken right ankle, and cirrhosis of the liver (a liver disease that destroys and scars liver tissue, which occurs over time and prevents the liver from functioning properly). Resident 33 was capable of making his own healthcare decisions. A review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), for Resident 33 dated 8/11/25, indicated that Resident 33 had no cognitive deficit, with a Brief Interview for Mental status (BIMS, assess a person's ability to think, reason and remember) score of 15 out of 15.

During an interview on 9/17/25 at 1:11 pm, Resident 33 stated that he had a 'heel issue' on his right heel that was found the day his cast came off, which he thinks was on 9/9/25. During a concurrent interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) M and observation on 9/17/25 at 1:35 pm, LN M was observed doing wound care to Resident 33's right heel DTI. LN M confirmed that Resident 33 had a deep tissue injury on the right heel. During a record review of Resident 33's Care Plans initiated on 8/11/25, with a target date of 10/1/25 (a review of the individual care plans for a resident), the record indicated a Care Plan had not been initiated for Resident 33's DTI on the right heel.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate was below 5% for 2 of 6 sampled residents (Resident 40 and Resident 4) when: 1. Registered Nurse (RN) B did not administer Resident 4's oral inhalation medication as ordered by prescriber.2. RN G administered Resident 44's medication not in accordance with the standards of practice.As a result, 2 errors were identified out of 26 opportunities for error during the observation of medication administration; the facility medication error was 7.69%.Findings:1. During an observation on 9/16/25 at 9:24 am, RN B was observed to prepare and administer Resident 4's morning medications which did not include a multidose inhaler, fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol inhalation powder (combination of 3 medications used to treat shortness of breath), for oral inhalation use.During a reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 4's Physician Orders, indicated an order, dated 6/11/25, for fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol inhalation powder for oral inhalation to be administered 1 puff inhale orally one time a day for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, a condition involving constriction of the airways and difficulty or discomfort in breathing). A review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated a dose of Resident 4's oral inhalation medication was marked given on 9/16/25 at 9 am.During an interview on 9/16/25 at 11:25 am, with RN B, RN B stated, I forgot to give that inhaler. RN B acknowledged that she had not given the medication even though the MAR was marked given.During an interview on 9/18/25 at 11:30 am, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, she expected the nurses to follow the Physician Orders. The nurse should have given resident's oral inhalation in the morning as prescribed.During a review of the policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications, reviewed October 2024, the P&P indicated, medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, and are administered within one hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified.2. During an observation on 9/16/25 at 11:59 am, RN G was observed to prepare and administer Resident 44's noon insulin, medication used to treat high blood sugar levels. RN G took out a vial of insulin from the medication cart, shook it vigorously for few seconds, withdrew two units of insulin lispro, and administered two units to Resident 44.During a reconciliation of the observation of medication administration with Resident 44's Physician Orders, indicated an order, dated 9/15/25, Inject as per sliding scale: if 0 - 150 = 0 units;151 - 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 -400 = 10 units, subcutaneously before meals for Diabetes Mellitus II (a chronic condition where the body does not use insulin effectively or does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels).A review of Resident 44's MAR indicated a dose of two units of lispro insulin was administered on 9/16/26 at 12:00 pm.During an interview on 9/16/25 at 3:20 pm, with RN G, RN G stated she shook the insulin vial when she was preparing resident 40's insulin. RN G acknowledged the insulin was already dissolved and she didn't know why she felt the need to shake the vial prior to drawing up insulin.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain its infection prevention control program when: 1. One of one resident (Resident 58) sampled for Transmission Based Precautions (TBP) was suspected to have Clostridium Difficile (c-diff, a bacterium [germ], transmissible infection [easily spreads to another person], that causes an infection of the colon, the longest part of the large intestine. Symptoms can range from diarrhea to life-threatening damage to the colon) and no isolation precautions were initiated as per policy to prevent the spread of disease. This failure had the potential to spread c-diff to other residents and staff and cause severe illness and decline in health status. 2. One of two residents (Resident 10's) sampled for tube feedings, had a gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a feeding tube that delivers nutrition, fluids, and medications directly into the stomach thru a surgical created opening in the abdomen) Lopez valve (a three way stop cock that fits to the end of the G-tube to create a closed or open system) that was found to be filled with a dried, brown substance and had not been cleaned. This failure had the potential to allow bacteria to grow and cause an infection in Resident 10. 3. Blood pressure cuffs were shared between residents and were not cleaned and disinfected. This failure had the potential to allow the spread of infection between residents. Findings: Residents Affected - Few A review of the facility's policy titled Clostridium Difficile revised October 2024, indicated, Measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of Clostridium difficile (CDI) infections among residents. Clostridium difficile infection is suspected in residents with acute, unexplained onset of diarrhea (three or more unformed stools within 24 hours). The primary reservoirs (places where they live) for c-diff are infected people and surfaces. Spores can persist on resident -care items and surfaces for several months and are resistant to common cleaning and disinfection methods. A review of the facility's policy titled Isolation-Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions revised October 2024, indicated Transmission-Based Precautions are initiated when a resident develops signs and symptoms of a transmissible infection: .and is at risk of transmitting the infection to other residents. Contact Precautions (wearing a gown and gloves upon entering a patient's room to prevent the spread of infection through direct or indirect contact) may be implemented for resident's known or suspected to be infected with microorganism (germs) that can be transmitted by direct contact with resident or indirect contact with environmental surfaces or resident-care items in the resident's environment. A review of the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) site titled Transmission Based Precautions for health care providers, dated April 3, 2024, indicated Use contact precautions for patients with known or suspected infections that represent an increased risk for contact transmission. *Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, includes gowns, gloves, face masks) appropriately, including gloves and gown. Wear a gown and gloves for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or the patient's environment. Donning (putting on) PPE upon room entry and properly discarding before exiting the patients room is done to contain pathogens [germs]. 1. A review of Resident 58's admission record indicated Resident 58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fracture of the right upper leg, muscle weakness, diabetes (high sugar in the blood), depression, anxiety and heart failure.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 8/12/25, section H, Bladder and Bowel assessment, indicated that Resident 58 was always incontinent (unable to control) of her bowels. During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 58 on 9/16/25 at 10:01 am, Resident 58 was lying in bed and stated I am having trouble with my bowels and am having lots of diarrhea today. Resident 58's room was observed and there was no isolation sign on the outside of the door, there was no PPE equipment outside the door, there was no garbage can near the door to discard potentially contaminated items. During a concurrent interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) M and record review on 9/17/25 at 9:31 am, Resident 58's nursing progress notes were reviewed. LN M said there was a progress note on 9/16/25 at 11:48 am, which noted NP (Family Nurse Practitioner, FNP) gave verbal order for cbc (complete blood count, a blood test), and for c-diff (a stool test for Clostridium Difficile, a highly transmissible infection in the stool that causes diarrhea) test. Order noted and carried out. LN M confirmed Resident 58 was being tested for c-diff. During an interview with Resident 58 on 9/17/25 at 9:33 am, Resident 58 indicated she was having bad diarrhea and it started yesterday. Resident 58 said she had 8 episodes of diarrhea yesterday and was still having some today. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/17/25 at 9:35 am, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) L confirmed Resident 58 had four episodes of bad smelling liquid diarrhea during her shift on 9/16/25 from 6:00 am, to 2:30 pm, and was still having some today. CNA L said she informed the nurse yesterday. CNA L was observed going into Resident 58's room. CNA L put on gloves and then proceeded to take off Resident 58's brief (incontinent underwear that absorbs loose stool or urine) to exam her bottom. CNA L replaced Resident 58's brief, removed her gloves and did hand hygiene. CNA L confirmed that Resident 58 was not on contact isolation and that there was no isolation sign or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) available to use except gloves, when giving cares to Resident 58. CNA L confirmed she had not been wearing a gown when providing care for Resident 58. During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 9/17/25 at 10:00 am, 24 plus hours after the start of Resident 58's episodes of diarrhea, IP stated that if a resident was suspected to have c-diff and/or had loose stools we would put that resident on contact isolation right away. IP said that contact isolation consisted of putting on gowns, gloves, and a face shield outside of the room and putting large trash cans at the doorways before leaving the room to discard potentially contaminated items. IP stated that this should be done immediately when someone was suspected of having c-diff. IP indicated that she was unaware of Resident 58 having diarrhea yesterday and being tested for c-diff. The IP confirmed that Resident 58 should have been placed on contact isolation yesterday after having multiple loose stools and being tested for c-diff and she was not. During an interview with LN D on 9/17/25 at 10:33 am, LN D stated she was informed of Resident 58 having diarrhea on 9/16/25 around noon, and notified the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). LN D stated that when residents are suspected to have c-diff we are supposed to notify the IP right away and put the resident on contact isolation. LN D stated that she did not do that because it was a really busy day but she should have. During an interview with the FNP on 9/18/25 at 8:42 am, FNP stated that Resident 58 was found not to have had c-diff but when it was suspected, the facility should have put Resident 58 on contact isolation to prevent the spread of the disease if she would have had it and they did not.
