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 ensure the call light (an alerting device for
nurses or other nursing personnel to assist a patient when in need) was within reach for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 55).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in resident not receiving assistance in a timely manner when needed.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 55's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Diabetes Mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty
in blood sugar control) and tinea unguium (a fungal infection of the nails)
During a review of Resident 55's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 3/7/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 55 had clear speech, usually understood others and usually made
self-understood. Resident 55 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the
effort, helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for personal hygiene, eating
and roll left and right.
During an observation on 3/18/2025 at 11:08 am in Resident 55's room, Resident 55 was lying in bed.
Resident 55's call light was wrapped outside of the left bedrail. Resident 55 stated Resident 55 was not
able to find the call light and not able to reach it. During a concurrent interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2), LVN 2 stated, Resident 55's call light was facing outside of the bedrail and Resident 55 needed
help to reach it. LVN 2 stated the call light should be placed within easy reach of the resident to use to call
for help when needed. LVN 2 stated Resident 55 could get hurt trying to get out of bed by himself if the call
light was not within reach.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Call Lights: Accessibility and Timely
Response, dated 12/9/2024, the P&P indicated Staff will ensure the call light is within reach of the resident
and secured, as needed.

During a review of Resident 34's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/5/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
34 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/31/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 34 was cognitively intact (able to think, learn, and remember) and required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with toileting hygiene and
shower/bathing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/18/2025 at 3:13 pm with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 6, Resident 34's paper and electronic chart were reviewed. LVN 6 stated Resident 34 did not have an
AD in her charts. LVN 6 stated the AD was important to document to know and record the resident's wishes
and instruct the facility on who will carry them out.
During an interview on 3/20/2025 at 3:46 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the AD
was important to determine the resident's wishes regarding provision of medical treatment and services.
During an interview on 3/21/2025 at 9:52 am with Resident 34, Resident 34 was awake, alert and oriented.
Resident 34 stated Resident 34 was not aware of an AD and staff did not provide was Resident 34 with any
information about an AD. Resident 34 stated, I would like to know more to make good decisions about my
care.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the physician's order to keep the
resident's both heels to free float (technique where the heels were completely elevated off the surface) for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 7).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential risk for Resident 7 to develop pressure injury (PI, localized damage to the skin
and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) and delayed healing of existing PI.
Findings:
During a review of the Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 7 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Diabetes Mellitus (DM, a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control) dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and pressure-induced deep tissue damage

stated Resident 7 had left heel PI upon admission. LVN 1 stated, staff should follow the physician's order to
free float both Resident 7's heels from the bed mattress to avoid adding pressure to the heels and to
prevent Resident 7 from developing new PI or worsen the old PI on the left heel.
During an interview on 3/19/2025 at 12:41 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
physician's order for Resident 7 should be followed by all staff. The DON stated, Resident 7's heels should
be offloaded to promote healing of the left heel PI and to prevent developing new PI and/or worsen the
current PI on the resident's left heel. The DON stated it was important to provide quality of care for the
resident's quality of life.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Pressure Injury Prevention and
Management dated 1/31/2025, the P&P indicated interventions for prevention and to promote healing,
evidence-based interventions for prevention will be implemented for all residents who are assessed at risk

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 34), who required and received hemodialysis (treatment for kidney failure that
removes waste and extra fluids from the blood) four times a week, by failing to ensure staff followed
Resident 34's physician's order for fluid restrictions of 1200 milliliters (ml- unit of measurement) a day.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 34 to experience fluid overload (excessive amount of
fluid in the body) and difficulty breathing that can compromise the Resident 34's health.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 34's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 34 was re-admitted to
the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (elevated blood sugars), cirrhosis of
the liver (liver damage where healthy cells are replaced by scar tissue), and dependence on renal dialysis
(a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing).
During a review of Resident 34's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/5/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
34 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 34's physician order (PO), dated 1/5/2025, the PO indicated Resident 34 had
an order for hemodialysis every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at Hemodialysis Center 1.
During a review of Resident 34's PO dated 1/5/2025, the PO indicated Resident 34 had an order for 1200
ml fluid restriction: Nursing to provide 240 ml per day shift, 240 ml per evening shift, and 120 ml per night
shift to total 600 ml. The PO indicated Dietary to provide 200 ml for breakfast, 200 ml for lunch, and 200 ml
for dinner to total 600 ml.
During a review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/31/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 34 was cognitively intact (able to think, learn, and remember) and required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with toileting hygiene and
shower/bathing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/20/2025 at 3:54 pm with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 34's paper and electronic chart were reviewed. The DON stated Resident 34's medical
record indicated no documentation regarding restricting fluid intake for Resident 34. The DON stated, There
was no system to monitor how much fluid the resident was receiving a day. The DON stated following
residents' (in general) physician's orders, especially about fluid restrictions for residents on hemodialysis,
was important to prevent fluid overload.
During an interview on 3/21/2025 at 9:51 am with Resident 34, Resident 34 stated, They (facility) don't tell
me how much fluid I can drink here. I usually get and drink what I want.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Fluid Restriction, revised 1/31/2025, the
P&P indicated, It is the policy of this facility to ensure that fluid restrictions will be followed in accordance to
physician's orders. The P&P indicated, Fluid restrictions are basically
