**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During a
review of the Resident 62's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 62 was admitted
to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection
from reality) and dementia (progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills).
Residents Affected - Few
During a record review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident
assessment and tool), dated 9/26/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was severely impaired.
The MDS indicated Resident 62 had a psychiatric/mood disorder. The MDS also indicated Resident 62 did
not have any mood and behaviors.
During a review of Resident 62's Physician Order Summary Report, dated 5/15/2024, the Physician Order
Summary Report indicated the following order:
Quetiapine Fumarate (Seroquel, antipsychotic drug used to treat certain mental conditions) oral tablet 25
mg: Give one tablet by mouth at bedtime for psychosis.
During a concurrent review of Resident 62's medical record and interview with RNS 1 on 11/21/2024 at
4:23 PM, RNS 1 stated Resident 62 did not and should have an informed consent prior to use of Seroquel.
RNS 1 stated the psychotropic medication had a lot of side effects and would help control the resident's
behavior, so the licensed nurse needed to obtain an informed consent from the resident or responsible
party and signed by the physician in order to administer the medication to Resident 62.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, revised
8/2022, the P&P indicated residents (and/or resident representatives) will be informed of the
recommendation, risks, benefits, purpose, and potential adverse consequences of antipsychotic medication
use.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to fully inform the resident in advance,
of the risks and benefits of proposed care for two of 23 sampled residents (Resident 185 and 62) in
accordance with the facility policy when:
1. Resident 185's admission Consent Forms (consent for treatment, disclose medical record, and
photograph) were not completed and signed upon admission on [DATE].
2. An informed consent was not obtained prior to Resident 62's use of psychoactive medication (drug that
changes brain function and results in altercations in perception, mood, consciousness or behavior)
Seroquel (an antipsychotic drug to treat certain mental conditions).
This deficient practice had the potential for Residents 185 and 62 not to be able to exercise their right to
choose their treatment plan.

person loses the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems), adult failure to
thrive (FTT, a syndrome of weight loss, decreased appetite and poor nutrition, and inactivity), syncope
(fainting or passing out), and fall (unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor, or other lower level, but
not as a result of an overwhelming external force).
During a review of Resident 185's History and Physical (H&P), dated on 11/13/2024, Resident 185 does
not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 185's Skilled Nurses' Notes, dated 11/13/2024, the nurses' notes indicated
Resident 185 was totally dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to
complete the activity) with bed mobility, transfer, locomotion, and toileting.
During a concurrent interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1) and review of Resident 185's
admission Consent Form on 11/19/2024 at 4:04 PM, the admission Consent Form had no date and was not
signed by the resident, responsible party, and facility representative. RNS 1 stated, the admission Consent
Form contains consent for treatment, disclose medical record and photograph and should have been
completed during admission. RNS1 stated if the resident came in later that evening, the staff should have
completed the form the following day. RNS 1 stated the facility staff should have called the family member.
RNS 1 added, The admission Consent form is important because it is a legal document. It contains Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA, is a federal law that protects the privacy and security
of health information) and disclosing of medical records. It means the resident/ responsible party was giving
us consent to take care of the resident.
During an interview with the RNS 1 on 11/19/2024 at 4:06 PM, RNS 1 stated, Not completing the
admission Consent Form meant, the resident did not give consent to treatment, disclose medical records,
and take the resident's photograph.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Rights, dated on 2/2021, P&P
indicated federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These rights
include the Resident's right to be informed of, and participate, in his or her care planning and treatment;
choose an attending physician and participate in decision making regarding his or her care.

Liver Oil bottle on top of her bedside table. RNS 1 stated these medications were not prescribed by
Resident 20's physician. RNS 1 stated all medications taken by residents should be prescribed by the
physician. RNS 1 stated licensed nurses need to inform and get an order from the physician about
medications brought by family members. RNS stated facility staff should have immediately addressed the
medications kept at Resident 20's bedside table to the licensed nurse and Resident 20's physician. RNS 1
stated Resident 20 should not self-administer unprescribed medications brought by her family. RNS 1
stated medications should be administered by the Charge Nurse (CN). RNS 1 stated unprescribed

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 (device used by residents
to call staff) was in reach for one (1) of 23 sampled residents (Resident 185) in accordance with the facility
policy and procedure for Residents'Call System.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 185 to not be able to call for assistance, which could result in
untimely delivery of care and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 185's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included adult failure to thrive (FTT, a syndrome of
weight loss, decreased appetite and poor nutrition, and inactivity), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, also
known as an enlarged prostate, is a noncancerous condition in which the prostate gland becomes larger
than normal), syncope (fainting or passing out), and fall (unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor,
or other lower level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force).
During a review of Resident 185's History and Physical (H&P), dated on 11/13/2024, Resident 185 does
not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 185's Skilled Nurses Notes dated 11/13/2024, the nurses' notes indicated
Resident 185 was total dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete
the activity) in bed mobility, transfer, locomotion, and toileting.
During a review of Resident 185's care plan dated 11/12/2024, indicated Resident 185 was at risk for
further decline in cognition (ability to think and make decision). Resident 185 has cognitive and
communication deficit as manifested by diagnosis of dementia (a mental disorder in which a person loses
the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems), short term memory problem,
failure to thrive, and history of syncope and collapse. The care plan indicated intervention to keep call light
within reach.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 185's room and interview with Resident 185 on 11/18/2024 at
9:26 AM, Resident 185 stated he did not know where his call light is. Observed Resident 185's call light
placed under the draw sheet and not within Resident 185's reach. Resident 185 stated he knows how to
use the call light, but he cannot find it. Resident 185 wanted some hot tea, or hot water that is why he
needs to use the call light to ask for facility's staff's assistance.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 185's room and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) on 11/18/2024 at 9:28 AM, LVN 2 came inside Resident 185's room and saw Resident 185's call
light was placed under the resident's sheets. LVN 2 stated, call light should always be placed within
Residents 185' reach so he can call for assistance when he needs help.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Call System, Residents revised on
9/2022, the P&P indicated each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from
his/her bed, from toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to inform and provide a written information for one (1) of four
(4) sampled residents (Resident 21) on the option to formulate an advance directive (a written instruction,
such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care, recognized under State law relating to the
provision of health care when the resident is incapacitated [clinical state in which a resident is unable to
participate in a meaningful way in medical decisions]) as indicated on the facility's policy.
This deficient practice violated the resident's and/or the representative's right to be fully informed of the
option to formulate their advance directives and had the potential to unwanted treatment with the resident's
wishes regarding health care.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 21's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included heart failure (a lifelong condition in which
the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body needs for blood and oxygen), chronic kidney
disease (is a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should),
and hypertensive heart disease (a long-term condition that develops over many years in people who have
high blood pressure)
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 8/9/2024, the
MDS indicated Resident 21 had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 21 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral
hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on and taking off
footwear, sit to stand, chair/bed -to chair transfer, toilet transfer, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of the
bed, chair/bed-to chair transfer and tub/shower transfer.
During a record review of Resident 21's medical record on 11/19/2024 at 9:51 AM, there was no advance
directive or advance directive acknowledgement form to indicate the resident or resident representative was
made aware of the resident's right to formulate an advance directive.
During a concurrent review of Resident 21's medical record and interview with Social Services Director
(SSD) on 11/19/2024 at 3:40 PM, SSD stated, she cannot find neither the advance directive nor the
advance directive acknowledgement form to indicate the resident or resident representative was made
aware of the resident's right to formulate an advance directive.
During an interview with SSD on 11/19/2024 at 3:45 PM, SSD stated it was important to have the Advance
Directives in the Resident's chart, so the staff knows what to do, what to follow regarding the medical
decision, and know who the decision maker is.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Advance Directives, dated 2001, P&P indicated
the resident or representative is provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept
medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses to do so.

Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
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 staff failed to provide privacy and confidentiality
(safeguarding the content of information including video, audio, or other computer stored information from
unauthorized disclosure without the consent of the resident and/or the individual's surrogate or
representative) of the resident's medical records for one of 23 sampled residents (Resident 71).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to expose Resident 71's records to others and violated the
resident's right for privacy and confidentiality.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 71's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 71
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding
into the substance of the brain in the absence of trauma or surgery), encephalopathy (brain disease,
damage, or malfunction that results in an altered mental state), and acute kidney failure (when the kidneys
suddenly become unable to filter waste products from the body).
During a record review of Resident 71's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident
assessment and tool), dated 9/19/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 71 was dependent (helper does all the effort, resident does not of the effort to complete
the activity) for toileting hygiene and required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half
the effort) for upper and lower body dressing.
During an observation in the hallway on 11/18/2024 at 10:49 AM, Resident 71's Physician's Order Details
were left exposed and unattended on top of medication cart 1. The Physician's Order Details contained
Resident 71's name, diagnoses, and diagnostic test performed and to be performed.
During an observation in the hallway on 11/18/2024 at 11:24 AM and at 12:28 PM, Resident 71's
Physician's Order Details were continuously left exposed and unattended on top of medication cart 1.
.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 1 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3), LVN 3 confirmed
Resident 71's appointment order was left on top of medication cart 1. LVN 3 stated he left out Resident 71's
Physician's Order Details on top of the medication cart 1 to remind him to carry out all of Resident 71's
orders since Resident 71 had just been discharged home.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:29 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated
resident files and personal information should not be left on top of the medication cart. RNS 1 stated it was
against Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA, an act of 1996 established federal
standards protecting sensitive health information from disclosure without resident's consent) to leave
Resident 71's file on top of the medication cart since it was a private document and should have not been
left out.
During a record review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, HIPPA Training Program, revised

lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen, leading to a dangerously low level of oxygen in the
blood) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation (a condition caused by damage
to the airways or other parts of the lung, that leads to inflammation and other problems that block airflow
and make it hard to breathe that can last for several days or weeks).
During a review of Resident 8's History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/27/2024, indicated Resident 8 does
not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool), dated 8/29/24, indicated Resident 8 does require set up and clean up assistance (helpers set up or
cleans up; resident completes activity) with eating.
During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:36 AM, Resident 8 stated he want a communal dinning in the
dining areas. Resident 8 stated there was no communal dinning since 2020.
2. During a review of Resident 22's admission Record indicated Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a
condition caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the lung, that leads to inflammation and other
problems that block airflow and make it hard to breathe), hepatic failure (a person's liver is failing to function
properly).
During a review of Resident 22's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/1/2024, indicated Resident 22 has
capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 22's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 22 does require supervision
(helpers provide verbal cues) with eating.
During an interview on 11/19/2024, at 10:36 AM, Resident 22 stated he wants a communal dinning in the
dining areas. Resident 22 stated common dining area is the place that he can meet up with his other

During a review of Resident 72's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 72 does not require supervision
with eating.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:36 AM, Resident 72 stated he hates to eat inside his room
because he feels lonely to eat by himself inside his room. Resident 72 stated he wants a communal dinning
in the dining areas with other residents to enjoy his meals. Resident 72 stated he wants the facility to
resume communal dining for all residents.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 8:22 A.M. with the AD, the AD stated the facility closed the communal
dining room since 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic (viral respiratory disease that spreads worldwide).
The AD stated they had not yet offered communal dining since then. The AD stated it was part of a
homelike environment to offer communal dining and any resident who wants to be a part of lunch or dinner
looks forward to it. The AD stated when communal dining is not provided then it could have resulted in
increased depression, increased anxiety levels, decreased level of satisfaction with life, feelings of low
self-worth, low self-esteem, and weight loss could develop as a result.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Home Like Environment, revised February
2021, indicated:
1. The facility staff and management maximize, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that
reflect a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include clean, sanitary, and orderly
environment, personalized furniture, and room arrangements. Provide contrasting colors (for example,
plates that contrast with the table linens)
2. Staff provides person-centered care that emphasizes the residents' comfort, independence and personal
needs and preferences.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, revised February 2021, indicated:
Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being,
level of satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem.
1. When assisting with care, residents are supported in exercising their rights. For example, residents are
provided with a dignified dining experience.
2. Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times.
3. The facility culture supports dignity and respect for residents by honoring resident goals, choices,

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
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 ensure the preadmission screening and annual resident
review assessment (PASARR, preventing individuals with mental illness, developmental disability,
intellectual disability, or related conditions from being inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term
care) form was accurately completed for a resident who had a mental illness for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 62).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice led Resident 62 to not receive the necessary and appropriate psychiatric (of or
relating to the study of mental illness) level of treatment and evaluation in the facility.
Findings:
During a review of the Resident 62's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 62 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a
disconnection from reality) and dementia (progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and
thinking skills).
During a record review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident
assessment and tool), dated 9/26/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was severely impaired.
The MDS indicated Resident 62 had a psychiatric (relating to mental illness or its treatment)/mood disorder.
The MDS also indicated Resident 62 did not have any mood and behaviors.
During a review of Resident 62's Physician Order Summary Report, dated 5/15/2024, the Physician Order
Summary Report indicated the following order:
Quetiapine Fumarate (Seroquel, medication commonly used for mood conditions) oral tablet 25 milligram
(mg, unit of measurement): Give one tablet by mouth at bedtime for psychosis.
During a review of Resident 62's care plan, dated 10/6/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 62 was
taking an antipsychotic medication (drugs that work by altering brain chemistry to help reduce psychotic
symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking) for psychosis. The care plan indicated
staff interventions included were to monitor behavior and assess every shift, remove resident from situation
when combative, and reduce the following stressors that may be contributing to the resident's inappropriate
behavior.
During a review of Resident 62's PASARR Level I Screening, dated 5/15/2024, the record indicated the
PASARR Level I was negative (there was no suspected mental illness or intellectual/developmental
disability or related condition). The PASARR Level I Screening also indicated under Section three Resident
62 did not have a serious diagnosis of mental disorder such as depressive disorder (depressed mood or
loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time), anxiety disorder (persistent and excessive
worry that interferes with daily activities), panic disorder (an anxiety disorder with sudden attacks of panic
or fear), schizophrenia (a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and
behaves)/schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that causes loss of contact with reality), or symptoms of
psychosis, delusions (believed to be true or real

but is actually false or unreal), and/or mood disturbance. In addition, the PASARR indicated Resident 62
was not prescribed psychotropic medications (drug or other substance that affects how the brain works and
causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior) for mental illness.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 62's PASARR on 11/19/2024 at 3:22 PM with
Admissions Coordinator (ADC), ADC stated Resident 62 had a diagnosis of psychosis and was prescribed
with a psychotropic medication which were not reflected on the PASARR.
During a concurrent interview and review of Resident 62's PASARR on 11/19/2024 at 3:40 PM with MDS
Nurse (MDSN 1), MDSN 1 stated Resident 62's PASARR Level I Screening indicated that Resident 62 did
not have a serious mental illness but Resident 62 had a diagnosis of psychosis upon admission. MDSN 1
also stated Resident 62's PASARR Level I Screening did not and should have indicated Resident 62 was
prescribed a psychotropic medication upon admission. MDSN 1 stated the PASARR screening should be
accurately completed to ensure correct placement of residents in the facility.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, admission Criteria, revised 3/2019, the policy
indicated all new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual
disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid PASARR process. The facility conducts a Level I
PASARR screen for all potential admissions to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID, or
RD.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a resident-centered comprehensive care plan (a
care plan developed and implemented to meet the resident's preferences and goals, and addresses the
resident's medical, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs) with individualized interventions for one (1) of
23 sampled residents (Resident 8) who was hard of hearing and refused to wear his hearing aid.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect and delay the delivery of care and services for
Resident 8.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 8 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition where there's not enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in
the body), pneumonia (an infection that affects one or both lungs), and type 2 diabetes mellitus without
complications(DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) .
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 10/10/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 8 was assessed having severely impaired cognitive (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. Resident 8
was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with oral hygiene, upper/lower body dressing, personal
hygiene, and sit to stand. Resident 8 had moderate difficulty (speaker has to increase volume and speak
distinctly) with hearing.
During a review of Resident 8's Pure Tone Audiogram result, dated 5/8/2023, the result indicated Resident
8 had no hearing on the left ear and moderately severe hearing loss on the right ear.
During an observation in Resident 8's room, on 11/18/2024, at 12:49 PM, Resident 8 sat on his wheelchair
while waiting for his lunch to be served. An unidentified staff member entered Resident 8's room and spoke
to Resident 8 in Spanish. Resident 8 did not answer the unidentified staff member.
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), on 11/19/2024, at 2:55 PM, CNA 1 stated
the staff need to speak louder when talking to Resident 8. CNA 1 stated Resident 8 was hard of hearing
and could only hear from one ear. CNA 1 stated he did not know which side was the good ear.
During an interview with MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1) on 11/20/2024, at 10:09 AM, MDSN 1 stated Resident 8
was hard of hearing. MDSN 1 stated Resident 8 could only hear from the right ear.
During an interview with Responsible Party 3 (RP3), on 11/20/2024, at 3:39 PM, RP 3 stated Resident 8
can only hear from the right ear. RP 3 stated Resident 8 had hearing aids and ear amplifiers but refuses to
use them.
During a concurrent interview and record review with MDSN 1, on 11/20/2024, at 4PM, Resident 8's Care
Plan for hearing, dated 7/3/2024, was reviewed. MDSN 1 stated Resident 8's care plan did not indicate
which ear was the good ear. MDSN 1 stated Resident 8's care plan indicated Resident 8 had

for hearing was not resident-centered and comprehensive. MDSN 1 stated the care plan was important
because it was a way to communicate the Resident 8's specific needs and interventions with facility staff.
During an interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), on 11/21/2024, at 3:47 PM, RNS 1 stated
Resident 8's care plan should be resident-centered and indicate which ear Resident 8 can hear from. RNS
1 stated Resident 8's care plan should indicate that Resident 8 refused to wear his hearing aids so an
intervention can be put in place on how to better communicate with Resident 8. RNS 1 stated it was
important for Resident 8 to have a resident-centered care plan so staff will know what intervention to follow
to better communicate with Resident 8.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Care plans, Comprehensive
Person-Centered, revised on 3/2022, the P&P indicated, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that
includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional
needs is developed and implemented for each resident. The P&P indicated, the comprehensive,
person-centered care plan describes services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the Resident's
highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a communication board (a device that displays
photos, symbols, or illustrations to help people with limited language skills express themselves) for three (3)
of four (4) sampled residents (Residents 41, 42 and 63) readily accessible with the language the residents
were able to understand in accordance with the facility's policy.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential for the residents to experience a delay in receiving appropriate care and
treatment and feeling lonely and isolated due to the staff not being able to properly communicate with the
residents.
Findings:
1.During a review of Resident 41's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the
body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) cerebral infarction (refers to damage to tissues
in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area) affect the left non- dominant side of the body,
intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH, is bleeding inside or around the ventricles [spaces in the brain that
contain the cerebral spinal fluid]), and left eye blindness
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 10/17/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 411 had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 41
needed substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or
limbs, and provides more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, putting on and
taking off footwear. Resident 41 also needed partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less than half the
effort, helper lifts, hold, or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the effort) with oral hygiene,
upper body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of the bed, sit to
stand, chair/bed -to chair transfer, and walk 10 feet.
During an observation in Resident 41's room and interview on 11/18/2024 at 12:17 PM, Resident 41 was
observed sitting on her wheelchair. Communication board indicated a non-English language.
During an interview with Responsible Party 1 (RP 1) on 11/18/2024 at 12:27 PM, RP 1 stated,
Communication is our problem because a lot of staff do not speak the same language as my mom. My
mom just gives up when the staff talks to her. My mom tries to communicate her needs to the staff just by
pointing at things like tumbler for water and points to the restroom if she needed to use the restroom.
Communication is the hardest issue that we had.
During an interview with Activity Director (ACD) on 11/19/2024 at 3:09 PM, ACD stated the facility give
communication binder upon resident's admission to the facility. ACD stated, staff do rounds to check if the
residents have the communication binder in their room. ACD stated the communication binder is also kept
in the activity room and sometimes in the nurse station.
During an interview with ACD on 11/19/2024 at 3:13 PM, ACD stated there were no communication

During an interview with ACD on 11/19/2024 at 3:22 PM, ACD stated, the purpose of the communication
board was to help the residents express their needs and concerns, likes, and dislikes. ACD added the
residents can also express their emotions and staff can address their needs using the communication
board, such as when the residents are tired and sleepy, or cold, if they want to go to the restroom, or ask
for food if they are hungry.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent review of Resident 41's impaired communication care plan and interview with MDSN 1
on 11/21/2024 at 2:22 PM, MDSN 1 stated the care plan did not specifically indicate Resident 41's

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 two of two sampled residents
(Residents 78 and 22) were provided activities, based on comprehensive assessment and resident's
preferences and interests in accordance with the facility policy.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Residents 78 and 22's physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
1. During a review of the Resident 78's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 78
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of malignant neoplasm of nasopharynx (cancer that
starts in the tissue connecting the back of the nose to the back of the mouth), sepsis (a serious condition
resulting from the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood), adult failure to thrive (refers to a state
where resident experiences a substantial decline in overall health and functional abilities), gastrotomy
status (a surgical procedure for inserting a tube through the abdomen wall and into the stomach used for
feeding or drainage).
During a record review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident
assessment and tool), dated 10/17/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 78 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for
toileting hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene (ability to maintain personal
hygiene, including combing hair, shaving, washing/drying face, and hands). The MDS also indicated
Resident 78 felt it was very important to do his favorite activities.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 11/19/2024 at 10:59 AM in Resident 78's room, Resident
78 was lying in bed and stated he was not provided with any activities since being admitted on [DATE].
Resident 78 stated he stayed in bed all day. Resident 78 stated no one had ever offered any activities for
him to participate in. Resident 78 stated he really wanted to listen to the radio, but he did not have a cell
phone or a radio. Resident 78 stated he really wanted a radio placed next to him since he was hard of
hearing.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 8:19 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 14), CNA 14 stated
Resident 78 liked to stay in his bed.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 8:31 AM with Activities Director (ACD), ACD stated Resident 78 spent
most of his time sleeping in bed and had not participated in any activities in the activity room. ACD stated
Resident 78 was newly admitted to the facility on [DATE], and she had not and should have offered his
preferred activity of listening to the radio. A concurrent record review of Resident 78's MDS with ACD, ACD
stated Resident 78 indicated it was very important to do the resident's favorite activities.
2. During a review of Resident 22's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 22 was

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of Resident 22's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/1/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
22 has capacity to understand and make decisions.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 22's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 22 required supervision (helpers
provide verbal cues) with eating, oral hygiene, shower, dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility, transfer,
and walking.
During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:36 AM, Resident 22 stated he wants other activities besides
Bingo, watching exercise videos and reading newspaper during the activity time with other residents.
Resident 22 stated he wants mahjong (a game of skill, strategy, and luck), trips out of the facility, and visit to
the nearby museum. Resident 22 stated there were candlelight dinners before at the front dining room, but
there had no candlelight dinner now. Resident 22 stated the front dining room was now always occupied by
the nursing students.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 3:17 PM in the activity room, observed Activity Director (AD) was
singing a song to the resident in front of the TV. There were a few of other residents sitting in the room with
no other ongoing activities or games.
During an observation on 11/20/2024 from 10:17 AM to 10:45 AM at the activity room, observed residents
watching exercise video to exercise with the AD and one activity aid. Observed newspapers in the activity
room all dated 11/15/2024. Observed TV channel in the activity room changed to cooking channel after the
exercise video.
During an interview with AD on 11/21/2024 at 8:22 AM in the activity room, AD stated it was hard to get
four people to play the mahjong game, some time the residents fight during the game, so the mahjong
game had stopped. AD stated there was a van for the residents' outings before, but the facility's van had
broken down. AD stated the last administrator refused to fix the van, so the residents outing had stopped
since then. AD stated a wide variety of activities can help residents stay active, happy, and they can
promote resident's emotional health and sense of belongings.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Activity Programs, revised date August
2006, the P&P indicated activity programs designed to meet the needs of each resident are available on a
daily basis.
1. Activity programs are designed to encourage maximum individual participation and are geared to the
individual resident's needs.
2. Activities are scheduled seven days a week and residents are given an opportunity to contribute to the
planning, preparation, conducting, cleanup, and critique of the programs.
3. Our activity programs consist of individual and small and large group activities that are designed to meet
the needs and interests of each resident and include, as a minimum:
a. Activities that stimulate the cardiovascular system and assist with range of motion, such as exercise,
movement to music, wheelchair basketball/volleyball, etc., are offered five to seven times per week.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
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 staff failed to ensure one (1) of 23 sampled residents (Resident 8)
received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards (the guidelines, policies, and
procedure that define the expected behaviors and performance level for specific profession) of practice by
failing to perform appropriate laboratory tests and monitor Resident 8's blood sugar (concentration of
glucose in the blood).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a lack of or delay in assessing for possible complications
of hypoglycemia (when the blood sugar is lower than normal) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) for
Resident 8 which can lead to hospitalization.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 8 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition where there's not enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in
the body), pneumonia (an infection that affects one or both lungs), and type 2 diabetes mellitus without
complications(DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 10/10/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 8 was assessed having severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. Resident 8 was dependent
(helper does all of the effort) with oral hygiene, upper/lower body dressing, personal hygiene, and sit to
stand.
During an interview with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 (MDSN 1) on 11/20/2024, at 10:13 AM, MDSN 1
stated Resident 8 was diagnosed with diabetes when he was readmitted from the hospital on 7/3/2024.
MDSN 1 stated Resident 8 received insulin (an injection medication used to control blood sugar) from
7/3/2024 to 7/17/2024. MDSN 1 stated Resident 8 did not have an order to monitor his blood sugar after the
insulin was discontinued on 7/17/2024. MDSN 1 stated Resident 8 has not had any blood tests done to
check his blood sugar since the insulin was discontinued on 7/17/2024 until 11/20/204. MDSN 1 stated
Resident 8's blood sugar should be monitored at least quarterly if it is not being monitored daily.
During an interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON), on 11/21/2024, at 3:49 PM, the IDON
stated it was important to continue to monitor Resident 8's blood sugar after the insulin was discontinued to
make sure Resident 8's blood sugar was in the proper range. The IDON stated the physician should have
been informed that Resident 8 did not have an order for blood sugar monitoring. The IDON stated he was
not sure about the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) in diabetes management.
During an interview with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), on 11/21/2024, at 3:55 PM, RNS 1 stated
diabetes management included checking the resident's blood sugar and hemoglobin AIC (HbA1c- a blood
test that measures the average blood sugar level over the past two or three months) on a regular basis. The
RNS 1 stated it was important to monitor and check the resident's blood sugar to prevent hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia which can cause the resident to get sick and end up in the hospital.

During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Diabetes-Clinical Protocol, revised on 12/2020, the P&P
indicated the following:
For residents who meet the criteria for diabetes testing, the physician will order pertinent screening; for
example, HbA1C, fasting plasma glucose (a measure of amount of glucose in the blood), or 2-hour plasma
glucose with oral glucose load (a standardized amount of glucose that is administered to a reisdent during
oral glucose tolerance test).
As indicated, the Physician will order appropriate lab tests (for example, periodic finger sticks or HbA1C)
and adjust treatment based on these results and other parameters such as glycosuria (sugar in the urine),
weight gain or loss, hypoglycemic episode, etc.
The physician will order desired parameters for monitoring and reporting information related to blood sugar
management.
The staff will incorporate such parameters into the Medication Administration record and care plan.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled resident (Resident
70), who was assessed at moderate to high risk for falls, had a floor matt placed in Resident 70's room as
ordered by facility physician.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in injury to Resident 70.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 70's admission Record (a document containing diagnostic and demographic
information), dated 11/20/2024, the record indicated Resident 70 was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of lumbar (the lower back region of the spine) fracture (a partial or
complete break in the bone), osteoarthritis (OA- is a degenerative joint disease that causes the cartilage in
your joints to break down over time. It's the most common type of arthritis and can affect the hands, hips,
knees, neck, and lower back), and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 70's History and Physical (H&P- a term used to describe a physician's
examination of a resident), dated 8/15/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 70 had history of generalized
weakness and multiple falls. The H&P indicated Resident 70 can make needs known but not make medical
decisions due to diagnosis of dementia (progressive impaired ability to think, remember or make decisions
that interferes with doing everyday activities).
During a Review of Resident 70's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 8/20/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 70 was dependent (helper does all of the effort,
resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).
The MDS indicated Resident 70 had a history of previous falls (last month prior to admission).
During a review of Resident 70's Orders (a set of written instructions from a doctor for a patient's care and
treatment), dated 8/13/2024, the Orders indicated Resident 70 must have floor mats (A cushioned floor pad
designed to help prevent injury should a person fall) every shift for fall risk.
During a review of Resident 70's Fall Risk Assessment (a standardized questionnaire or set of tests used
by healthcare professionals to evaluate a person's likelihood of falling, typically by assessing various factors
like medical history, medication use, balance, gait, vision, and mobility, to identify potential risk factors and
develop preventive strategies; essentially, it helps determine if someone is at low, moderate, or high risk of
falling), dated 8/13/2024, the Fall Risk Assessment indicated Resident 70 was at moderate to high risk for
falls, prompting additional preventative measures.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 9:29 AM in Resident 70's room, with
Registered Nurse Supervisor 3 (RNS 3), the RNS 3 verified that Resident 70 had an order for floor mats
because Resident 70 was at risk for falls, however, upon entering Resident 70's room, the RNS 3 stated,
there were no floor mats in the room and Resident 70 should have floor mats if there was a physician order.
The RNS 3 stated not following the physician's orders could result in Resident 70 acquiring an injury if
Resident 70 fell on the floor, especially because Resident 70 has a history of

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
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 provide and accurately monitor fluid intake for
one of one sampled resident (Resident 75) with fluid restrictions.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause fluid overload (too much fluid in the body) or increase
Resident 75's risk for dehydration (condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds
the amount that is taken in).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 75's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 75 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (a permanent
condition that occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to function and require dialysis or a kidney
transplant to survive), chronic kidney disease (a condition where the kidneys are damaged and can't filter
blood properly), unspecified intellectual disabilities (a diagnosis given when it's difficult or impossible to
assess the degree of intellectual disability in someone over the age of 5), and dependence on renal dialysis
[(a state of requiring dialysis, (a type of treatment that helps your body remove extra fluid and waste
products from your blood when the kidneys are not able to) to maintain life] .
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated
10/7/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 75 had severely impaired (never/ rarely made decisions) cognitive
skills (the mental processes that allow people to think, learn, and solve problems) for daily decision making.
Resident 75 was dependent, (helper does all of the effort) with the eating, oral, toilet, personal hygiene,
change of position, and transfer.
During a review of Resident 75's Physician Orders, dated 11/18/2024, indicated Resident 75's fluid
restriction was 1000 cubic centimeters (1000 cc) per 24 hours.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 5:07 PM with Certified Nurse Assistant 6
(CNA6) in front of Resident 75's room, observed CNA6 bought a dinner tray to Resident 75's bedside table
with 1 main dish, 1 cup of yellow juice, 1 cup of soup, and 1 cup of dessert. The meal cart on Resident 75's
dinner tray indicated renal diet with no milk, no dairy products. There was no indication of fluid restriction for
1000 cc per 24 hours. CAN 6 stated that she only knew Resident 75 was a dialysis resident, but she did not
know Resident 75 was on any fluid restriction. CNA6 also stated there was no signage on the wall to
indicate Resident 75 was on any fluid restriction.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 10:20 AM with Dietary Supervisor (DTS), DTS stated Resident 75
was on renal pureed (texture modified diet that consists of foods that are ground, pressed, or strained to a
smooth, pudding consistency) diet with 1000 cc fluid restriction. DTS stated she followed doctor's order for
480 cc per day for Resident 75. DTS confirmed Resident 75 received 4 ounces (unit of measurement for
liquid volume), (oz), (120 cc) of juice, 6 ounces (180 cc) of soup, and 4 ounces (120 cc) of pureed dessert
for Resident 75's 11/19/2024's dinner tray. DTS stated, Resident (Resident 75) supposed to only have 4 oz
of fluid for her dinner, nothing like bowl of soup and bowl of yellow dessert were supposed to be in the
resident's dinner tray. DTS stated Resident 75 can be at risk for fluid overload which could affect the
resident's health and cause other complications as a result of fluid overloaded.

During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 4:16 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 9 (LVN 9), LVN 9 stated
Resident 75 received 200 cc of water with some apple sauce for her last medication administration. LVN 9
acknowledged that the total fluid volume of 200 cc of water with some apple sauce that she gave to
Resident 75 has exceeded the 120 cc restriction for the shift of 3PM-11PM. LVN 9 stated it can cause fluid
overloaded, edema, maybe chest pain to Resident 75.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 3:26 PM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated
Resident 75 was on 1000 cc fluid restriction per 24 hours per doctor's order. RNS1 stated the extra fluid
intake can cause fluid overload to Resident 75 which could cause chest pain, edema, and confusion from
fluid overload.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Food and Nutrition Services Policies and
Procedures, revised August 2022, the P&P indicated the purpose of fluid restriction is to properly treat
disease states which require restriction of fluids intake. The policy indicated the Food and Nutrition Services
(FANS) will provide a standard amount of fluids to ensure that the prescribed fluid restrictions are
maintained. Procedures included:
1. FANS Department monitors and/ or restricts fluid provided on patient trays as appropriate for their diet
order.
2. Fluid restrictions are ordered by the physician and recorded in the Physician's Orders section of the
medical record.
3. When a physician orders the following fluid restrictions, the total volume must be divided equally between
FANS and Nursing. If additional fluid is needed by Nursing, Nursing staff is to notify FANS of the requested
amount.
4. All patients, dependent on the fluid restriction volume, will receive on their meal tray:
Total Fluids (ml):1000; Amount to FANS (ml) 500; Amount to Nursing (ml) 500
To further specify amounts given during meals see below:
Total Fluids (ml):1000; Amount to FANS (ml) 500; breakfast (ml) 240; lunch (ml) 120; dinner (ml) 120.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the order for gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube
inserted through the belly that brings nutrition directly to the stomach) feeding for one of two sampled
residents (Resident 78) in accordance with the facility's policy.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 78 to not receive the volume of tube feeding formula ordered
which could lead to weight loss and worsening malnutrition (serious condition that occurs when a resident's
diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients).
Findings:
During a review of the Resident 78's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 78 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of malignant neoplasm of nasopharynx (cancer that starts
in the tissue connecting the back of the nose to the back of the mouth), sepsis (a serious condition resulting
from the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood), adult failure to thrive (refers to a state where
resident experiences a substantial decline in overall health and functional abilities), gastrotomy status (a
surgical procedure for inserting a tube through the abdomen wall and into the stomach used for feeding or
drainage).
During a review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment and
tool), dated 10/17/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78
was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) for
eating. The MDS also indicated Resident 78 had a feeding tube for acquiring nutrition.
During a review of Resident 78's Nutritional Care, dated 10/13/2024, the record indicated Resident 78 was
dependent on enteral feeding.
During a review of Resident 78's Nutritional Care, dated 10/15/2024, the record indicated the following:

Provide safe, appropriate pain management 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 treatment and care to manage pain of one of two
sampled residents (Resident 64) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
a. Administer Resident 64's methadone (medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It can also treat
narcotic drug addiction) on 11/18/2024 at 9 AM as ordered by the physician.
b. Reassess Resident 64's pain level after administering pain medication (methadone and Percocet
[medication to treat moderate to severe pain]) on 11/21/2024 at 10 AM, to ensure pain medication was
effective.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident 64 experiencing severe pain reporting a pain score of nine
out of ten (9/10) on 11/18/2024 from 10 AM to 12:01 PM (2 hours and 1 minute). In addition, Resident 64
experienced pain with a score of eight out of ten (8/10) on 11/21/2024 from 10 AM to 1:09 PM (3 hours and
9 minutes) which resulted in physical distress to Resident 64.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 64's admission Record (a document containing diagnostic and demographic
information), dated 11/20/2024, the record indicated Resident 64 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of thoracic (middle region of the spine) fracture (a partial or complete
break in the bone), osteomyelitis (a serious bone infection that causes inflammation and swelling of bone
tissue) of the spine, right hip, and sacrococcygeal region (the region at the base of the spine, where the
sacrum and coccyx [tailbone] meet), and opioid (a class of drugs that derive from, or mimic, natural
substances found in the opium poppy plant. Opioids work in the brain to produce a variety of effects,
including pain relief) dependence with withdrawal (Taking opioids over a long period of time produces
dependence, such that when people stop taking the drug, they have physical and psychological symptoms
of withdrawal such as muscle cramping, sweating, pain, diarrhea, and anxiety).
During a review of Resident 64's History and Physical (H&P- a term used to describe a physician's
examination of a resident), dated 11/12/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 64 had history of chronic opioid
use disorder, chronic back pain on methadone, and underwent a thoracic spine fusion (a surgical procedure
that joins two or more vertebrae in the thoracic spine to eliminate movement between them).
During a Review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 8/21/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 64 had intact cognition (ability to think and make
decisions), and was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete
the activity) on staff to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).
During a review of Resident 64's Order Summary (a set of written instructions from a doctor for a patient's
care and treatment), dated 11/17/2024, the Orders indicated to give methadone oral tablet 40 milligram
(MG- a unit of volume) by mouth every 12 hours for pain/drug addiction. The Order Summary indicated to
give Percocet (medication used to treat pain) 7.5-325 MG by mouth every six hours as needed for pain.

During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 12:01 PM with Resident 64 in Resident 64's room, Resident 64 stated
she had not yet received her morning medications which included methadone, and her pain score is at 9/10
(score of 10 means the most/ worst pain) since 10 AM. Resident 64 stated she had reported her pain of
9/10 to the licensed nurse at around 10 AM, but still had not received any pain medication.
During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 12:39 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 8 (LVN 8), LVN 8 stated
Resident 64 had reported her pain score of 9/10 around 10 AM today and was waiting for another LVN to
become available to give Resident 64 her medications. LVN 8 stated the facility was short one LVN for the
day to pass medication, that is why LVN 8had not administered Resident 64's pain medication when the
reisdent verbalized pain around 9 AM. LVN 8 verified the physician's order for Resident 64's methadone
should have been given to Resident 64 at 9 AM, and not 12 PM, and a delay in treating Resident 64's pain
could result in uncontrollable pain and physical distress to the resident.
During an interview on 11/19/2024 at 3:57 PM with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), DSD stated
licensed nurses should administer scheduled medications ordered by the physician one hour before up to
one hour after the indicated time of the order. DSD stated it is important to give medications on time to
ensure medications have a therapeutic effect for the residents. DSD stated any licensed nurse, including
the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), and the Director of Nursing (DON) can both help pass out
medication if there is not enough LVNs to pass medications. DSD stated giving Resident 64 medications
three hours after they were scheduled (at 9 AM) can put Resident 64 at risk for uncontrolled pain leading to
physical distress.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 2:03 PM with the DON, the DON stated it is important to give
scheduled medications as ordered by the physician to ensure effectiveness of the medication and to ensure
consistency of treatment. The DON stated Resident 64 was put at high risk for exacerbation of symptoms
related to opioid withdrawal (a set of symptoms that occur when someone stops or reduces their use of
opioids after being physically dependent on them) and chronic pain because methadone is given to wean
off (slowly decreasing the dosage before discontinuing the medication) the opioids and not giving it on time
can cause withdrawals. The DON stated he was aware that they needed more licensed nurses to help with
medication administration.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 1:09 PM, with Resident 64 in Resident 64's room, Resident 64 stated
she received her medication in the morning at 10 AM which included her pain medication, but her pain level
was still an eight out of ten (8/10). Resident 64 stated I think getting up and walking would help relieve
some pain off my back. The nurse never came back to check on me, they never usually do. Resident 64
stated the nurse did not come back to check if my pain had improved after giving the pain medication.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 2 PM with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated she
gave Resident 64 the resident's morning medications around 10 AM which included methadone and
Percocet, along with other medications. The IPN stated she did not come back to check on Resident 64's
pain score and to see if the medication was effective. IPN stated she should have gone back 30 minutes
after administration of the pain medicine to reassess Resident 64 if the resident was still in pain and
needed to provide additional intervention to manage the resident's pain.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications, dated April
2019, the P&P indicated staffing schedules are arranged to ensure that medications are administered
without unnecessary interruptions. Medications are administered within one hour of their

During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 8:45 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated
the Director of Staff Development (DSD) was responsible for posting the daily staffing at the nursing station.
During an observation at the nursing station on 11/21/2024 at 8:42 AM, the daily staffing information posted
was dated 11/19/2024.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 10:43 AM with DSD, DSD stated she was in charge of posting the
daily staffing information, which included the projected and actual hours. DSD stated she must post the
daily staffing information every day and post it every morning. DSD stated she did not post the daily staffing
information for the past few days due to not being able to find the form. DSD stated the purpose of posting
the daily staffing information was to inform the resident, family, and staff about the staff to resident ratio and
to show awareness that the facility has enough number of staff to provide care for the residents.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing,
revised August 2022, indicated staffing numbers and the skill requirements of direct care staff are
determined by the needs of the residents based on each resident's plan of care, the resident assessments,
and the facility assessment. Direct care daily staffing numbers (the number of nursing personnel
responsible for providing direct care to residents) are posted in the facility for every shift.

Ensure Resident 31 received the full dose of Humulin R insulin (a hormone that removes excess sugar
from the blood) by not waiting approximately five (5) seconds before removing the needle after injection as
indicated in the facility's policy and procedure (P&P).
This deficient practice placed Resident 31 at risk of inadequate blood sugar management which can cause
hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar level) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level)
2.a. Administer Letrozole (a medication used to treat certain types of breast cancer (cells begin to grow out
of control) for Resident 284 as ordered daily.
2.b. Administer clopidogrel bisulfate (a medication used to prevent blood clots) and metoprolol (a
medication used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure [heart's inability to pump an
adequate supply of blood]) within 60 minutes of scheduled time of 9 AM for Resident 284.
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 284 to experience chest pain, high blood pressure,
and decline in overall health status.
Findings:
1.
During a review of Resident 31's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 31 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included radiculopathy (a condition that occurs when
a nerve root in the spine is damaged or compressed), diabetes mellitus (DM, persistently high levels of
sugar in the blood), and other lack of coordination (a problem with movement, balance, or coordination).
During a review of Resident 31's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 31 was assessed having
moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident 31 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, personal hygiene, and upper/lower body
dressing. Resident 31 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, toileting hygiene, and toilet
transfer.
During a review of Resident 31's Order Summary Report, dated 11/21/2024, the Order Summary Report
indicated a physician order, with a start date of 3/8/2024, for Humulin R injection 100 unit/milliliter (ml- unit
of measurement) inject subcutaneously (beneath, or under, all the layers of the skin) before meals and at
bedtime for DM, as per sliding scale (the progressive increase in the pre-meal or nighttime insulin dose
based on pre-defined blood glucose ranges):

During observation of medication administration (med pass) on 11/20/2024, from 11:27 AM to 11:39 AM,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) was observed preparing Resident 31's medications. LVN 5 prepared 4
units of Resident 31's Humulin R insulin injection pen. LVN 5 administered the insulin on Resident 31's
lower left quadrant (the quarter of the abdomen on the left side, below the belly button, and left of the
midline) and removed the needle immediately after injection.
During an interview with LVN 5 on 11/20/2024, at 11:42 AM, LVN 5 stated he did not and should have left
the needle in the skin for at least 5 seconds. LVN 5 stated it was important to leave the needle in the skin
for at least 5 seconds to make sure the insulin was absorbed in the skin. LVN 5 stated Resident 31's blood
sugar will remain high if the insulin was not absorbed properly which could lead to hypoglycemia.
During an interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1) on 11/21/2024, at 4:06 PM, RNS 1
stated it was important to leave the needle in the skin for 5 seconds to make sure the insulin was absorbed.
RNS 1 stated the insulin can leak out and Resident 31 will not receive the complete dose if the needle was
removed too early or too fast. RNS 1 stated proper insulin administration and diabetic management was
very important and should always be followed.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Insulin Administration, revised on 9/2014, the P&P indicated
during insulin administration the licensed nurse should depress the plunger and remove the needle after
approximately five (5) seconds.
During a review of the Humulin R manufacturer's insert, the insert indicated to insert the needle into the
skin, push the Dose Knob (the knob you turn to select the insulin dose you need, located on one end of the
insulin pen) all the way in, and to continue to hold the Dose Knob in and slowly count to 5 before removing
the needle.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to relay to the doctor the recommendations form the
pharmacist indicated in the Medication Regimen Review (MRR, a monthly thorough evaluation by the
consulting pharmacist of a resident's medication regimen, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and
minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication) for the month of
September 2024 for two of five sampled residents (Resident 45 and 55). The MRR indicated to consider a
gradual dose reduction (GDR - a periodic attempt to manage a resident's behavioral issues with a lower
dose of medication) related to the use of Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication used to treat a severe
mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with external reality also
called psychosis) for Resident 55 and 45.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in adverse reaction (unwanted, uncomfortable, or
dangerous effects that a drug may have) to Resident 45 and 55 and unnecessary medications to the
residents.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 55's admission Record indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses that included major acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (the respiratory system
has trouble exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, resulting in low oxygen levels in the body's tissues),
anxiety disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear, dread, and
uneasiness), unspecified dementia (a general term for dementia that doesn't have a specific diagnosis),
and sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection).
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated
9/5/2024, indicated Resident 55 had severely impaired (never/ rarely made decisions) cognitive skills
(mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. Resident
55 required substantial and maximum assistance, (helper does more than half the effort) with the toilet,
personal hygiene, change of position, and transfer. The MDS also indicated Resident 55 was receiving
psychotropic medication [drug used to treat symptoms of psychosis, these include hallucinations (sights,
sounds, smells, tastes, or touches that a person believes to be real but are not real), delusions (false
beliefs), and dementia (loss of the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems)].
During a review of Resident 19's Physician Orders, dated 9/24/2024, the Physician Orders indicated
Resident 55 to have Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) two times a day (mg, a unit
of measure) for agitation and dementia.
During a review of Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review, dated 9/24/2024, the MRR
indicated to reevaluate if a gradual dose reduction is appropriate at this time due to Resident 55 has been
on Seroquel 25 mg BID for the past 6 months.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/21/2024 at 3:51 PM, with the Registered Nurse
Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated the Director of Nurses (DON) supposed to review the monthly MRR,
but the DON was on leave, so there was no one who reviewed the September 2024 MRR. RNS 1 stated if
MRR result was not reviewed and if there were any irregularities or recommendation in the MRR were

not relayed to the doctor and no action has been taken by the facility, it can cause medications overdose or
medication misuse which can lead to resident harm, serious illness, and/ or worsening of condition.
During an interview on 7/11/2024 at 9:27 AM, with the Administrator (ADM), ADM stated she still has the
MRR of September 2024 in her computer, the MRR results were not reviewed for irregularities and/ or
recommendations by the pharmacist therefore was not relayed to the doctor and was not carried out
(implemented).
2. During a review of Resident 45's admission Record (a document containing diagnostic and demographic
information), dated 11/21/2024, indicated Resident 45 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (progressive impaired ability to think, remember or make
decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities).
During a review of Resident 45's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 45 was severely
impaired with cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident 45 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff to perform activities of daily living
(ADLs). Resident 45 did not have any mood or behaviors.
During a review of Resident 45's Order Summary Report (a summary of all currently active physician
orders), dated 6/25/2024, the Orders indicated Seroquel 12.5 mg by mouth at bedtime for psychosis
manifested by combative to nurses during care.
During a review of the consultant pharmacist's recommendation, dated 9/24/2024, indicated the consultant
pharmacist asked the physician to consider reducing the dose of Resident 45's Seroquel or to indicate a
clinical rationale as to why an attempt would be clinically contraindicated.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 4:02 PM with the MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1), the MDSN 1 verified the
pharmacist's recommendations to reduce Seroquel 12.5 mg due to behaviors have not been seen dated
9/1/2024. The MDSN 1 stated Social Services is responsible for contacting the physician to make the
physician aware of the pharmacists' recommendations. The MDSN 1 verified that Resident 45 had not had
any behaviors manifested by being combative with nurses for the month of September, October, and
November 2024. The MDSN 1 verified that the physician had not acknowledged review of the pharmacist's
recommendations, and verified the document provided by the pharmacist was blank and not signed by the
physician. The MDSN 1 stated that the pharmacist's recommendations should have been provided to the
physician by calling the physician's office and notify that the form needed to be filled out by the physician
and faxed back to the facility by the end of the month (September 2024) at the latest. The MDSN 1 stated
not notifying the physician about Resident 45's GDR recommendation put the resident at risk for getting a
higher dose of Seroquel than the resident needed, which could result in unwanted side effects such as
tardive dyskinesia (a chronic neurological disorder that causes involuntary, repetitive movements in the
body. It's usually caused by taking antipsychotic drugs, also known as neuroleptics, for months or years, but
it can also occur after short-term use).
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 4:18PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), The SSD stated the
process for ensuring the physician is made aware of the pharmacist's recommendations is to personally
hand over the monthly pharmacist's recommendations to the physician and walk with the physician who is
assessing residents, filling out and signing forms. The staff members responsible for informing the physician
include the SSD and a Registered Nurse. The SSD stated she did not hand over the recommendations to
the physician back in September, but she should have done so to prevent any

medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed ensure resident's drug regimen was free from unnecessary
medication use for four (4) of five (5) sampled residents (Residents 47, 62, 33, and 45) in accordance with
the facility policy by failing to ensure:
1.a. Resident 47 was free from taking two anxiety (a feeling of nervousness, panic, and fear) medications,
Clonazepam (drug used to treat anxiety) and Lorazepam (drug used to relieve anxiety [fear characterized
by behavioral disturbances] and treat insomnia caused by anxiety or temporary situational stress)
1.b. A specific indication for use/behavior was monitored for Resident 47's use of Clonazepam and
Lorazepam.
1.c. Resident 47's behavior of crying for the use of Cymbalta (drug used to treat depression [a mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest] and anxiety) was monitored via
hashmark from 10/21/2024 to 10/31/2024
1.d. Resident 47's behavior of paranoid delusions (fears, anxieties, and suspicions that someone may feel
even though they are not based in reality) for the use of Zyprexa (drug used to treat several mental health
conditions like schizophrenia [a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought] and bipolar
disorder [mental disorder characterized by episodes of mania extreme highs] and depression]) was
monitored via hashmark 11/1/2024 to 11/19/2024.
2. A specific indication for use/behavior was monitored for Resident 62's use of Quetiapine Fumarate
(Seroquel, drug commonly used for mood conditions) for psychosis (severe mental condition in which
thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality).
3. Resident 33's behavior was monitored for the use of Escitalopram (a drug for treating depression and
generalized anxiety disorder [GAD, is a mental health condition that causes people to experience excessive
and persistent anxiety about everyday situations]).
4. A gradual dose reduction (GDR - a periodic attempt to manage a resident's behavioral issues with a

specific behavior for anxiety in order for the licensed nursed to monitor and evaluate if the specific behavior
decreased or increased and if the medication was effective. The IDON stated Resident 47 was also
prescribed Lorazepam for anxiety m/b restlessness. The IDON stated the behavior of restlessness needed
to be specific. The IDON stated monitoring the specific behavior would determine if the medication was
working for the resident. The IDON stated Resident 47 was prescribed with two anxiety medications and
should only be prescribed with one anxiety medication.

Residents Affected - Some
During the same interview and record review of Resident 47's MAR on 11/21/2024 at 2:08 PM with the
IDON, the IDON stated the monitoring for depression and anxiety was accomplished by hashmarks done
by tallying. The IDON stated if the behaviors were not tallied via hashmarks, the facility would not be able to
determine how many behavior episodes the resident had experienced. The IDON stated the tallying was
needed to show an increase or decrease in the specific behavior for the physician to make an adjustment
for the resident's medication regimen. The IDON stated the tallies from the behavior monitoring would also
be used to see if the physician needed to increase or decrease the medications for a gradual dose
reduction.
2. During a review of the Resident 62's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 62
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a
disconnection from reality) and dementia (progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and
thinking skills).
During a record review of Resident 62's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive
skills for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 62 had a
psychiatric/mood disorder. The MDS also indicated Resident 62 did not have any mood and behaviors.
During a review of Resident 62's Physician Order Summary Report, dated 5/15/2024, the Physician Order
Summary Report indicated the following order:
Quetiapine Fumarate (Seroquel, drug used to treat certain mental conditions) oral tablet 25 mg: Give one
tablet by mouth at bedtime for psychosis.
Monitor behavior episodes of restlessness/agitation and tally with hashmarks for every episode on the MAR
every shift.
During a review of the Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review, dated 8/25/2024, the
Consultant Pharmacist (CP) indicated Resident 62 received the antipsychotic Seroquel and needed to have
evidence the behavioral symptoms present to the resident, or others and the symptoms are identified as
being due to mania or psychosis (such as: auditory, visual, or other hallucinations; delusions, paranoia or
grandiosity [sense of superiority, uniqueness, or invulnerability that is unrealistic and not based on personal
capability]). The current behavior restlessness/agitation does not justify the need for an antipsychotic
medication. Please clarify and describe agitation to be more specific.
During a review of Resident 62's care plan, dated 10/6/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 62 was
taking an antipsychotic (drug that work by altering brain chemistry to help reduce psychotic symptoms like
hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking) medication. The care plan interventions for staff were to
monitor behavior and assess every shift.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 62's MAR on 11/21/2024 at 2:08 PM with the
IDON, the IDON stated the physician's order for Seroquel should contain a specific behavior for psychosis
in order for the licensed nursed to monitor the behavior to see if it decreased or increased and if the
medication was effective. The IDON stated the behavior monitoring was accomplished by hashmarks done

the specific behavior for the physician to make an adjustment for the resident's medication regimen. The
IDON stated the tallies from the behavior monitoring would also be used to see if the physician needed to
increase or decrease the medications for a gradual dose reduction.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, revised
8/2022, the P&P indicated diagnoses alone do not warrant the use of antipsychotic medication.
Antipsychotic medications will generally only be considered if the following conditions are also met:
The behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others; AND:
o
The symptoms are identified as being due to mania or psychosis (such as auditory, visual, or other
hallucinations; delusions, paranoia, or grandiosity); or
o
Behavioral interventions have been attempted and included in the plan of care, except in emergency.
The P&P also indicated all antipsychotic medications will be used within the clinically recommended
dosage guidelines, or clinical justification will be documented for dosages that exceed guidelines for more
than 48 hours. Residents will not receive as needed doses of psychotropic medications unless that
medication is necessary to treat a specific condition that is documented in the clinical record. The staff will
observe, document, and report to the attending physician information regarding the effectiveness of any
interventions including antipsychotic medications.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Regimen Reviews, revised 5/2019, the P&P indicated
all residents who use psychotropic medications shall receive gradual dose reductions and behavioral
interventions, unless clinically contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue these drugs.
3. During a review of Resident 33's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Parkinson's
disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness,
and difficulty with balance and coordination), adjustment disorder with anxiety and depression.
During a review of Resident 33's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 33 had intact cognitive
skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 33 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) shower/bathe self, lower body dressing,
putting on and taking off footwear, personal hygiene, and tub/shower transfer. MDS also indicated
substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and
provides more than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, lying to
sitting on side of the bed, sit to stand, and chair/bed -to chair transfer.

4. During a review of Resident 45's admission Record (a document containing diagnostic and demographic
information), dated 11/21/2024, indicated Resident 45 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (progressive impaired ability to think, remember or make
decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 45's History and Physical (H&P - a record of a comprehensive physician's
assessment), dated 12/1/2023, the H&P confirmed dementia diagnoses being treated with Donepezil
(medication used to treat dementia), and stated Resident 45 does not have the capacity to understand and
make decisions.
During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 10/9/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 45 was severely impaired with cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding ) skills for daily decision making. Resident 45 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff to
perform activities of daily living (ADLs). Resident 45 did not have any mood or behaviors.
During a review of Resident 45's Order Summary Report (a summary of all currently active physician
orders), dated 6/25/2024, the Orders indicated on 6/25/2024, Resident 45 was prescribed Seroquel 12.5
milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) by mouth at bedtime for psychosis manifested by combative to
nurses during care.
During a review of the consultant pharmacist's recommendation, dated 9/24/2024, indicated the consultant
pharmacist asked the physician to consider reducing the dose of Resident 45's Seroquel or to indicate a
clinical rationale as to why an attempt would be clinically contraindicated.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 4:02 PM with the Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 (MDSN 1), the MDSN 1
verified the pharmacist's recommendations to reduce Seroquel 12.5 mg due to behaviors have not been
seen dated 9/1/2024. The MDSN 1 stated Social Services is responsible for contacting the physician to
make the physician aware of the pharmacist's recommendations. The MDSN 1 verified that Resident 45
had not had any behaviors manifested by being combative with nurses for the month of September,
October, and November 2024. The MDSN 1 verified that the physician had not acknowledged review of the
pharmacist's recommendations, and verified the document provided by the pharmacist was blank and not
signed by the physician. The MDSN 1 stated that the pharmacist's recommendations should have been
provided to the physician by calling the physician's office and notify that the form needed to be filled out by
the physician and faxed back to the facility by the end of the month (September 2024) at the latest. The
MDSN 1 stated not notifying the physician about Resident 45's GDR recommendation put the resident at
risk for getting a higher dose of Seroquel than the resident needed, which could result in unwanted side
effects such as tardive dyskinesia (a chronic neurological disorder that causes involuntary, repetitive
movements in the body. It's usually caused by taking antipsychotic drugs, also known as neuroleptics, for
months or years, but it can also occur after short-term use).
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 4:18 PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), The SSD stated the
process for ensuring the physician is made aware of the pharmacist's recommendations is to personally
hand over the monthly pharmacist's recommendations to the physician and walk with the physician who is
assessing residents, filling out and signing forms. The staff members responsible for informing the physician
include, the SSD and a Registered Nurse. The SSD stated she did not hand over

the recommendations to the physician back in September, but she should have done so to prevent any
delay in treatment or assessment of the residents.
During an interview 11/21/2024 at 4:22 PM with the MDSN 1, the MDSN 1 stated a review of Resident 45's
electronic medical administration record (eMAR), the eMAR indicated Resident 45 had continued to be
administered Seroquel 12.5 MG after the pharmacist recommended for a GDR. The MDSN 1 stated that
according to the eMAR, Resident 45 had not displayed any behaviors of psychosis from September
through November 2024, yet the resident was still being administered Seroquel 12.5 MG. The MDSN 1
stated, this was most likely due to the physician not responding to the recommendations of the pharmacist
in a timely manner which was due to their failure to follow up with the physician.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Tapering Medications and Gradual Dose
Reduction, the P&P indicated during the first year in which a resident is admitted on a psychotropic
medication, or after the facility has initiated such medication, the facility will attempt to taper the medication
during at least two separate quarters with at least one month between the attempts, unless clinically
contraindicated. The tapering may be considered clinically contraindicated if the continue use is in
accordance with relevant standards of practice and the physician has documented the clinical rationale for
why any attempted dose reduction would be likely to impair the resident's function or cause instability.

These deficient practices had the potential to result in harm to Resident 31 and Resident 284 by not
administering medications as prescribed by the physician in order to meet their individual medication
needs.
Findings:
1.
During a review of Resident 31's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 31 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included radiculopathy (a condition that occurs when
a nerve root in the spine is damaged or compressed), diabetes mellitus (DM, persistently high levels of
sugar in the blood), and other lack of coordination (a problem with movement, balance, or coordination).
During a review of Resident 31's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 31 was assessed having
moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident 31 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, personal hygiene, and upper/lower body
dressing. Resident 31 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, toileting hygiene, and toilet
transfer.
During a review of Resident 31's Order Summary Report, dated 11/21/2024, the Order Summary Report
indicated a physician order, with a start date of 3/8/2024, for Humulin R injection 100 unit/milliliter (ml- unit
of measurement) inject subcutaneously (beneath, or under, all the layers of the skin) before meals and at

During observation of medication administration (med pass) on 11/20/2024, from 11:27 AM to 11:39 AM,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) was observed preparing Resident 31's medications. LVN 5 prepared 4
units of Resident 31's Humulin R insulin injection pen. LVN 5 administered the insulin on Resident 31's
lower left quadrant (the quarter of the abdomen on the left side, below the belly button, and left of the
midline) and removed the needle immediately after injection.
During an interview with LVN 5 on 11/20/2024, at 11:42 AM, LVN 5 stated he did not and should have left
the needle in the skin for at least 5 seconds. LVN 5 stated it was important to leave the needle in the skin
for at least 5 seconds to make sure the insulin was absorbed in the skin. LVN 5 stated Resident 31's blood
sugar will remain high if the insulin was not absorbed properly which could lead to hypoglycemia.
During an interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1) on 11/21/2024, at 4:06 PM, RNS 1
stated it was important to leave the needle in the skin for 5 seconds to make sure the insulin was absorbed.
RNS 1 stated the insulin can leak out and Resident 31 will not receive the complete dose if the needle was
removed too early or too fast. RNS 1 stated proper insulin administration and diabetic management was
very important and should always be followed.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Insulin Administration, revised on 9/2014, the P&P indicated
during insulin administration the licensed nurse should depress the plunger and remove the needle after
approximately five (5) seconds.
During a review of the Humulin R manufacturer's insert, the insert indicated to insert the needle into the
skin, push the Dose Knob (the knob you turn to select the insulin dose you need, located on one end of the
insulin pen) all the way in, and to continue to hold the Dose Knob in and slowly count to 5 before removing
the needle.

Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame.
Medications are administered within one (1) hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for
example, before and after meal orders).
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of five sampled
residents (Resident 31 and Resident 284) were free from significant medication errors by failing to:
1. Administer Resident 31's of Humulin R insulin (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood) 4
units as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) and manufacturer's guidelines.
This deficient practice placed the resident at risk of inadequate blood sugar management, which can cause
hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and untreated can lead to complications, such as eye, kidney, or heart
disease or nerve damage.
2.a. Ensure Resident 284's Mometasone spray (medication used to treat and prevent the symptoms of
seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms) 50 micrograms (mcg- unit of measurement) was not expired
when administered on [DATE] to [DATE].
2.b. Ensure Resident 284's Clopidogrel Bisulfate (a medication used to prevent blood clots) 75 mg
Metoprolol (a medication used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, and heart failure) 25 mg medication
was administered within 60 minutes of administration time
2.c. Ensure Resident 284's Letrozole (a medication used to treat certain types of breast cancer) 2.5 mg
was administered as ordered daily.
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 284 to experience allergy symptoms, chest pain,
high blood pressure, and decline in overall health status.

4. During a review of Resident 284's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of the breast (a
cancerous tumor that originates in the breast tissue, meaning it is a form of breast cancer), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed
airflow from the lungs and peripheral vascular disease (is the reduced circulation of blood to a body part
other than the brain or heart caused by a narrowed or blocked blood vessel)
During a review of Resident 284's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 284 had intact cognitive
skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 284 was substantial/ maximal assistance
with and lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear. Resident 284's MDS also indicated partial/
moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort, helper lifts, hold, or supports trunk or limbs but
provides less than half the effort) with shower/bathe self, personal hygiene, sit to stand, chair/bed -to chair
transfer, and tub/shower transfer and walk 10 feet.
During a concurrent observation of medication administration and interview with Infection Preventionist
Nurse (IPN), on 11/20/2024 at 10:03 AM, IPN stated Resident 284's Mometasone nasal spray expired on
2/2024. The IPN stated the pharmacy delivered the expired medication to the facility. The IPN stated the
facility staff who received the expired medication should have checked the expiration of the medication
before placing it in the medication cart.
During an interview with LVN 7, on 11/21/2024, at 2:48 PM, LVN 7 stated the medication cart should not
store expired medications for the residents' safety. LVN 7 stated expired medications can accidentally be
administered to residents if the licensed nurse does not check the expiration date. LVN 7 stated it is the
responsibility of the licensed nurse who administers medications to make sure expired medications are
removed from the medication carts.
During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Medication Labeling and Storage, revised on 2/2023, the P&P
indicated the following:
The facility stores all medications and biologicals in locked compartments under proper temperature,
humidity, and light controls. Only authorized personnel have access to keys.
The nursing staff is responsible for maintaining medications storage and preparation areas in a clean, safe,
and sanitary manner.
Compartments (including, but not limited to, drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and boxes)
containing medications and biologicals are locked when not in use, and trays or carts used to transport
such items are not left unattended if open or otherwise potentially available to others.
Medications requiring refrigeration are stored in a refrigerator located in the medication room at the nurse's
station or other secured location.
Multi-dose vials that have been opened or accessed (example needle punctured) are dated and discarded
within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a shorter or longer date for the open vial.
During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Administering Medications, revised on 4/2019, the P&P indicated
the following:

or potential for actual harm
The expiration/beyond use date on the medication label is checked prior to administering. When opening a
multi-dose container, the date opened is recorded on the container.
Residents Affected - Some
Based on observation, interview, and review, the facility failed to label and store drugs in locked
compartments when the facility failed to:
1.
Ensure safe drug storage by leaving two medications unattended on top of the medication cart.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in other residents having access to medications causing
adverse consequences or possible hospitalization if ingested.
2.
Ensure the unopened insulin (a hormone that works by lowering levels of sugar in the blood) pens of
Residents 75 and 48 were stored inside the refrigerator instead of inside the medication cart per
manufacturer's guidelines.
This deficient practice had the potential for loss of efficacy of the insulin injection.
3.
Ensure the opened Resident 37's Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution (a medication that treats chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD- a long-term lung disease causing difficulty breathing]) box, which
expires 7 days after opening, was labeled with date opened for Resident 37.
This deficient practice had the potential for loss of efficacy of the medication and unintentional medication
administration of possibly expired medication.
4.
Ensure the expired Mometasone spray medication (a medication sprayed in the nose to treat allergy
symptoms) for Resident 284 was removed from the medication cart as indicated in the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the use of ineffective medications for Resident 284.
5.
Maintain proper storage of five (5) medications and label opened medications for one of one medication
storage room.
These deficient practices had the potential for medication contamination and medication dispensing errors.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate food preferences for one
of 23 sampled residents (Resident 284).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in decreased meal intake and can lead to weight loss and
malnutrition (the condition that develops when the body is deprived of vitamin, minerals, and other nutrients
it needs to maintain healthy tissue and organ function).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 284 admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of the breast (a
cancerous tumor that originates in the breast tissue, meaning it is a form of breast cancer), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed
airflow from the lungs) and peripheral vascular disease (is the reduced circulation of blood to a body part
other than the brain or heart caused by a narrowed or blocked blood vessel).
During a review of Resident 284's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 284 had intact cognitive
(mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The
MDS also indicated Resident 284 was substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the
effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and provides more than half the effort) with and lower body dressing,
putting on and taking off footwear. Resident 284's MDS also indicated partial/ moderate assistance (helper
does less than half the effort, helper lifts, hold, or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the
effort) with shower/bathe self, personal hygiene, sit to stand, chair/bed -to chair transfer, and tub/shower
transfer and walk 10 feet.
During an interview with Resident 284 on 11/18/2024 at 8:39 AM, Resident 284 stated her meals in the
facility was terrible. Resident 284 stated she received most of the time are hamburger and sandwich with
cheese for her meals since she got admitted at the facility. Resident 284 stated she cannot eat the
hamburger and bread with cheese, these are not her regular foods, and that she told the certified nurse
aids (CNAs) that the resident wants Chinese food, no hamburger, and no bread with cheese.
During a dining observation of lunch on 11/18/2024 at 12:53 PM in Resident 284's room, observed
Reisdent 284's lunch tray/food tray with 1 cup of water, 1 cup of juice, 1 cup of rice soup, 1 chocolate ice
cream in a cup and a plate with rice, chicken, vegetables and a sliced of bread. In addition, menu card
placed on the food tray indicated Asian food. Resident 284 stated she does not like her foods today
including the juice served to her. Resident 284 stated she only eat the vegetable and the rice soup from her
food tray today, and the chicken thigh served tasted very dry, bland and taste just like eating [NAME].

from her lunch, and that the chicken was very dry again. Resident 284 also stated the night snacks are
almost the same every night, there is only peanut butter jelly sandwich every night.
During a review of Resident 284's Care Plan dated 11/11/2024 at the Point Click Care system (a software
platform designed for long-term care facilities like skilled nursing homes and assisted living communities,
allowing caregivers to easily access and input patient health information with a simple point-and-click
interface, streamlining tasks like resident assessments, care planning, medication management, and billing,
all within a cloud-based system), there was no care plan that indicates for Reisdent 284's diet preference.
During a review of the facility Policy and Procedure titled, Resident Food Preferences, dated 2001,
indicated the individual food preferences will be assessed upon admission and communicated to the
interdisciplinary team.
1. Upon the resident's admission (or within twenty-four [24] hours after his/her admission) the dietitian or
nursing staff will identify a resident's food preferences.
2. When possible, staff will interview the resident directly to determine current food preferences based on
history and life patterns related to food and mealtimes.
3. Nursing staff will document the resident's food and eating preferences in the care plan.
4. If the resident refuses or is unhappy with his or her diet, the staff will create a care plan that the resident
is satisfied with.
5. The food services department will offer a variety of foods at each scheduled meal, as well as access to
nourishing snacks throughout the day and night.
6. The facility's quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI) committee will periodically review
issues related to food preferences and meals to try to identify more widespread concerns about meal
offerings, food preparation, etc.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 23 sampled residents (Resident
286) was provided mechanically altered (texture of a diet is altered) diet as indicated on the physician's
order.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 286 to choke (severe difficulty in breathing
because of a constricted/obstructed throat) which could lead to death.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 286's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 286 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included type two diabetes mellitus (a chronic
disease that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't use it properly, resulting in
high blood sugar levels), dysphagia ( difficulty swallowing) and depression (a serious medical illness that
negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act).
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated
11/11/2024, indicated Resident 286 had severely impaired cognitive skills (the mental processes that allow
people to think, learn, and solve problems) for daily decision making. Resident 286 was dependent, (helper
does all of the effort) with the eating, oral, toilet, personal hygiene, change of position, and transfer. MDS
indicated Resident 286 has mechanically altered diet.
During a review of Resident 286's Physician Orders, dated 11/14/2024, indicated a diet order of Consistent
Carbohydrate Diet (CCHO, diet that involves eating the same amount of carbohydrates at each meal and
snack to help manage blood sugar levels) & No added salt (NAS) diet, pureed (smooth, uniform texture
similar to pudding, without lumps, strings, skins, or seeds) texture, regular/thin consistency for wound and
weight loss.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 286's room and interview on with Certified Nurse Assistant 6
(CNA 6) on 11/19/2024 at 4:49 PM, CNA6 bought a dinner tray to Resident 286's bedside table with dinner
card indicated cardiac regular. CNA6 stated the dinner tray was supposed to be for the next bed. CNA6
stated Resident 286 was supposed to have pureed diet and needed to be fed. CNA6 stated Resident 286
could have choked if was given the Regular texture diet instead of pureed diet as ordered.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 3:16 PM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS1), RNS1 stated
Resident 286 was supposed to have been given a mechanically altered diet, cardiac pureed meal tray.
RNS1 stated Resident 286's food must be in a pureed format, because regular texture food can be a
choking hazard to Resident 286.

admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included heart failure (a lifelong condition in which
the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body needs for blood and oxygen), chronic kidney
disease (is a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should)
and hypertensive heart disease (a long-term condition that develops over many years in people who have
high blood pressure)
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 8/9/2024, the
MDS indicated Resident 21 had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 21 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral

did not have Resident 21 or the responsible party's signature. RNS 1 stated, the form was incomplete
because the form is missing the family/Responsible Party or Resident 21's signature and the staff's
signature.
During an interview with RNS 1 on 11/21/24 at 8:53 AM, the facility should have completed the Resident's
Clothing and Possessions Form to be able to monitor and ensure the facility is not missing Resident 21's
property like a cellphone, or wedding ring. RNS 1 stated the facility must make sure the residents were able
to take their personal property back home after stay in the facility or else if it is missing, the facility will have
to pay for it or replace it.

Residents Affected - Some
Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 10 of 36 rooms (17, 42, 43,
44, 51, 52, 53, 54, 62 and 63) met the square footage requirement of 80 square feet (sq. ft.) per resident in
multiple resident rooms.
This deficient practice had the potential of not providing the required space for resident's personal care, or
the ability to permit the use of residents' care devices, room for visitors, and the use of personal furniture.
Findings:
During a review of the facility's room waiver (a legal document which allows to give up certain legal rights or
claims), dated 11/18/2024, the waiver indicated that these rooms did not meet the Federal requirements
according to 42 CFR 483.70 (80 square feet per bed). The room waiver also indicated these rooms had
adequate space for nursing care, and the health and safety of the residents occupying these rooms are not
in jeopardy. The room waiver further indicated these rooms were in accordance with the special needs of
the residents and would not have an adverse effect on the residents' health and safety or impede the ability
of any resident to attain his or her practical well-being. The room waiver showed the following:

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 (a device used by a
resident to signal his or her need for assistance) was functioning to alert the staff that assistance was
needed as for one (1) of 23 sampled residents (Resident 25).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in delay in meeting Resident 25's needs for hydration,
toileting, and activities of daily living (ADL) which can lead to falls and/ or accidents.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 25's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 25 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
epilepsy (a brain disorder that causes recurring , unprovoked episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the
brain), personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA- a brief stroke that occurs when blood flow to the
brain is temporarily blocked) and cerebral infarction (a condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is
disrupted causing brain cells to die) without residual effects, and hypotension (low blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 25's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 6/4/2024, the H&P
indicated Resident 25 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 8/30/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 25 was assessed to require substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, personal hygiene, and upper and lower body dressing. Resident
25 required supervision or touching assistance with sit to lying, sit to stand, and toilet transfer.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 25's room and interview with Resident 25 on 11/18/2024, at
8:49 AM, Resident 25's call light indicator on the wall did not turn on after Resident 25 pushed the call light
button. Resident 25 stated she did not know how she can call for assistance since the call light was not
functioning (resident unable to recall since when).
During the same observation and concurrent interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 8 (CNA 8), on
11/18/2024, at 8:49 AM, CNA 8 stated the call light indicator on the wall and above the door was supposed
to light up when the resident pushes the call light button. CNA 8 pushed Resident 25's call light button and
both call light indicators on the wall and outside Resident 25's room did not light up. CNA 8 stated, Resident
25's call light system was not working.
During an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MTS), on 11/18/2024, at 9:06 AM, the MTS stated
Resident 25's call light was broken. MTS stated facility staff did not inform him that Resident 25's call light
was broken.
During an interview with CNA 1, on 11/19/2024, at 3:11 PM, CNA 1 stated residents use the call light when
assistance is needed. CNA 1 stated if residents are not able to get assistance, they can have accidents on
the bed or fall. CNA 1 stated the call light needs to be functional at all times. CNA 1 stated, broken call
lights need to be reported to the Charge Nurse (CN) right away.

During a follow up interview with the MTS, on 11/19/2024, at 3:30 PM, the MTS stated it was the facility
staff's responsibility to report broken call lights in the facility. The MTS stated call lights in need of repair are
logged in the Maintenance Communication book. The MTS stated the Maintenance Communication book
was checked by the MTS daily. The MTS stated Resident 25's broken call light was not reported or logged
in the Maintenance Communication book. The MTS stated it was important for residents to have a
functioning call light to get the assistance they need especially during an emergency.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Call System, Residents, revised on
9/2022, the P&P indicated the following:
Residents are provided with a means to call staff for assistance through a communication system that
directly calls a staff member or a centralized workstation.
Each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her bed, from
toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor.
The resident call system remains functional at all times. If audible communication is used, the volume is
maintained at an audible level that can be easily heard. If visual communication is used, the lights remain
functional.
The resident call system is routinely maintained and tested by the maintenance department.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe environment for one of 23
sampled residents (Resident 43) by:
1. Failing to ensure the designated exit door was not blocked by a wheelchair. This deficient practice had
the potential for residents to be placed at risk for injury by not allowing a rapid evacuation in case of an
emergency.
2. Failing to ensure the hallway for Resident 43 to pass through back and forth from the resident's room to
the activity room was not cluttered with multiple parked wheelchairs and equipment (such as Hoyer lift
[mechanical device that helps transfer people with limited mobility from one place to another. It allows a
person to be lifted and transferred with a minimum of physical effort], walker and clean linen cart). This
deficient practice placed Resident 43 at risk for accident, tripping, or fall.
Findings:
1. During an observation of the facility, on 11/18/2024, at 10:54 AM, a wheelchair was observed in the
middle of the hallway in front of the emergency exit doors.
During an interview with the Activity Director (ACD), on 11/21/2024, at 9:30 AM, the ACD stated unused
wheelchairs were placed in the hallways or in the residents' rooms. ACD stated wheelchairs should not be
left in the middle of the hallway that leads to the emergency exit doors. ACD stated residents will not be
able to immediately evacuate the facility if the emergency exit doors were blocked. ACD stated residents
who walk around the facility can push the wheelchair and hit another resident if they see a wheelchair in the
middle of the hallway. ACD stated all facility staff were responsible in ensuring the hallways leading to the
emergency exit doors were clear for the residents' safety.
