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 ensure residents' medical records were updated to show
documentation that advance directives (a legal document indicating resident preference on end-of-life
treatment decisions) were discussed upon admission and written information were provided for one (1) of
two (2) sampled residents and/or responsible party (Resident 78), in the advance directive care area. This
deficient practice violated Resident's 78 and/or the responsible party's (RP) right to be fully informed of the
option to formulate their advanced directives and had the potential to cause conflict with the residents'
wishes regarding health care.Findings:During a review of Resident 78's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated Resident 78 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (an injury of the spine where the front part of a
vertebra [a small bone in the spine] collapses, creating a wedge-shaped bone) of first lumbar (lower part of
the back) vertebra, spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spaces within your spine) and hepatomegaly (an
abnormally enlarged liver). The admission Record also indicated a blank entry for an advance directive.
During a review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 1/27/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 78 had severely impaired cognitive skills (ability to understand and make
decisions) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 78 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort) with toileting, shower/bathing self and dressing, partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than
half the effort) with eating, oral and personal hygiene. Durin a review of Resident 78's Social Services
Assessments, dated 1/22/2026 and 2/6/2026, the Social Services Assessments failed to indicate if
Resident 78 had an advance directive and/or if any written information was provided to Resident 78 or
Resident 78's RP. During a review of Resident 78's physical medical charts dated from 2/4/2026 to
2/10/2026, the medical chart did not indicate an advance directive acknowledgment form or documentation
that Resident 78 and the resident's RP were informed and provided written material regarding formulating
an advance directive. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 11:04 AM with the Director of Social Services 1
(DSS 1), the DSS 1 stated per facility's policy, facility staff will complete an advance directive
acknowledgment form for all residents within 72 hours of admission either from the resident or with verbal
consent from the resident's responsible party. DSS 1 stated it was important to inquire with the resident/
resident's if the resident has any advance directive prior to or upon admission and that family or
representative complete the advance directive acknowledgment so that residents know they have the
option to appoint someone to speak on behalf of them for their medical decisions when they do not have
the capacity to do it themselves. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 2:15 PM
with the Director of Social Services 2 (DSS 2), Resident 78's physical medical charts dated from 2/4/2026
to 2/10/2026 were reviewed. Resident 78's medical chart did not have a completed advance directive

acknowledgement form. DSS 2 stated Resident 78's medical chart did not have an advance directive or an
advance directive acknowledgment form in the chart and there should be one completed. DSS 2 also stated
per the facility policy, the advance directive acknowledgment is usually completed as soon as the resident is
admitted and that the social services director or designee inquires of the resident, the resident's family
members and/or the resident's legal representative, about the existence of any written advance directives.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 2:32 PM with the DSS 2, DSS 2 provided
an Advance Directive Acknowledgement, dated 1/21/2026 for Resident 78. The Advance Directive
Acknowledgement did not indicate if Resident 78 had an advance directive or if Resident 78's RP wanted
more information regarding formulating an advance directive. DSS 2 stated the Advance Directive
Acknowledgment was not in Resident 78's current medical chart because it was from a previous admission
and that the form was incomplete and it should have indicated if there was an advance directive for
Resident 78 or if information was wanted or not. DSS 2 further stated when Resident 78 was readmitted to
the facility on [DATE], a new advance directive acknowledgement form should have been completed since it
was a new admission. DSS 2 stated it was critical to have a completed advance acknowledgment form
because those include a residents' or RP's wishes in the event of emergency and those wishes needed to
be respected and followed. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Advance
Directives, updated 10/2024, the P&P indicated the resident has the right to formulate an advance directive,
including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and advance directives are honored in
accordance with state law and facility policy. The P&P also indicated the following:Prior to or upon
admission of a resident, the social services director or designee inquires of the resident, his/her family
members and/or his or her legal representative, about the existence of any written advance directives.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.Written
information about the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate an
advance directive is provided in a manner that is easily understood by the resident or representative.If the
resident is incapacitated and unable to receive information about his or her right to formulate an advance
directive, the information may be provided to the residents' legal representative.Information about whether
or not the resident has executed an advance directive is displayed prominently in the medical record in a
section of the record that is retrievable by any staff.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, comfortable wheelchair for one
(1) of two (2) sampled residents (Residents 38) reviewed for environmental concerns by failing to ensure
the resident's wheelchair's left armrest pad was free from peeling and cracks and the wheelchair had a
right padded armrest. This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 38's safety and comfort
when sitting in the wheelchair. Findings:During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated Resident 38 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included difficulty in walking and lack of coordination. During a review of Resident 38's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/13/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 38
had an intact cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 38 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with oral,
toileting, and personal hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear.
The MDS further indicated Resident 38 used manual wheelchair as mobility device. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 8:34 AM, Resident 38 was observed sitting in a wheelchair that
was missing the right armrest pad, exposing the metal frame, and had a left armrest pad with peeling and
cracked leather covering. Resident 38 stated he could not place his right arm on the exposed metal part of
the wheelchair because it was hard and uncomfortable. Resident 38 further stated the cracks and peeling
on the left armrest pad scratched his left arm. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 3:10 PM, Licensed
Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6) stated cracked and worn-out wheelchairs could cause discomfort and could
potentially cause irritation to Resident 38's skin. During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 9:43 AM, the Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) stated the residents' wheelchairs should be in good condition without tears and
peeling to prevent injuries to the residents' skin. The ADON stated that Resident 38's wheelchair should
have armrests to ensure the resident can sit comfortably and to prevent the resident's right arm from
dangling at the side. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 9:06AM, the Maintenance Director (MTD) stated
the wheelchair arm rest is there for arm support and for the residents' comfort. MTD also stated Resident
38's wheelchair left arm rest should have been replaced to prevent discomfort and should have been
provided with a right arm rest to have proper support for his right arm. During a review of the facility's policy
and procedure (P&P) titled, Maintenance Services, updated on 1/1/2026, the P&P indicated maintenance
services shall be provided to all areas of the building, grounds, and equipment. The maintenance
department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe and operable
manner at all times.

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure three (3) of five sampled residents (Resident 7, 2
and 68) reviewed for unnecessary (any drug when used without adequate monitoring, and without
adequate indication for use) psychotropic drugs (any medication capable of affecting the mind, emotions,
and behavior) were free from unnecessary psychotropic drugs as indicated in the facility's policy and
procedure by failing to:1.Monitor and document the specific target behaviors of striking out and grabbing
staff for the use of olanzapine (Zyprexa- an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia [a mental
disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness and
social interactions) and bipolar disorder [a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood,
energy, activity levels, and concentration]) for Resident 7.This deficient practice had the potential to result in
inaccurate evaluation in the effectiveness and/or ineffectiveness of the Resident 7's olanzapine medication
and adjust the medication as necessary. 2. Ensure the specific number of Resident 2's bipolar disorder
episodes manifested by changes in mood from happy to anger were monitored and documented in the
resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR- is a report detailing the drugs administered to a
resident by a healthcare professional at a treatment facility) for the use of Divalproex (also known as
Depakote, a prescription medication used to treat manic episodes [a period of abnormally elevated,
extreme changes in mood, behavior, activity and energy level] associated with bipolar disorder) ), as
indicated in the physician's order.This deficient practice resulted in inadequate monitoring of Resident 2's
mood changing episodes with the potential to result in inaccurate evaluations in the effectiveness of
Resident 2's Divalproex and the risk of receiving an unnecessary medication.3.Ensure Resident 68's
specific behavior was monitored for the use of quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel, antipsychotic medication that
treats several kinds of mental health conditions including schizophrenia [a serious mental illness that affects
how a person thinks, feels, and behaves] and bipolar disorder) were documented on the MAR.This deficient
practice had the potential to result to have inaccurate re-evaluation of Resident 68's need for psychotropic
medications, which may lead to an overall negative impact on the resident's physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being.Findings:
1.During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included lobar
pneumonia (a severe bacterial infection and inflammation of one or more lobes of the lung) , depression (a
serious, common illness characterized by a persistent, intense, and long-lasting low mood, loss of interest
in activities, and decreased energy), and dementia (a brain disorder that results in memory loss, poor
judgment and confusion).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 7 was assessed having severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions)
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision
making. The MDS indicated Resident 7 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than
half the effort) with lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, roll left and right, and sit to lying.
The MDS indicated Resident 7 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with eating, oral/toileting
hygiene, shower/bathe self, sit to stand, and toilet transfer.
During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report, dated 2/12/2026, the Order Summary Report
indicated a physician order, with a start date of 12/29/2025, for the following:

Zyprexa oral tablet 2.5 milligrams (mg- unit of measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for
psychosis (a mental state characterized by a loss of contact with reality often involving seeing or hearing
things and false beliefs) manifested by (m/b) striking out and grabbing staff.
Monitor behavior episodes of striking out and grabbing staff and tally with hashmarks for each episode on
the MAR every shift.
During a review of Resident 7's Care Plan, dated 12/29/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 7 had
periods of striking out or grabbing staff. The care plan indicated an intervention to monitor and record
episodes of behavior per facility policy/protocol.
During an interview on 2/11/2026, at 9:29 AM, with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
Resident 7 had a history of aggressive behavior towards staff. CNA 1 stated Resident 7 would scratch, spit,
and hit the CNAs who assisted the resident with dressing and diaper change. CNA 1 stated she informed
the Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) each time Resident 7 demonstrated aggressive behavior but was not
sure if it was documented in Resident 7's records. CNA 1 stated she did not know that Resident 7 was
being monitored for the resident's aggressive behavior.
During an interview on 2/11/2026, at 12:35 PM, with Director of Social Services (DSS 1), DSS 1 stated
Resident 7 only demonstrated aggressive behavior towards the staff at night. DSS 1 stated Resident 7's
behavior of hitting staff should be monitored and documented in Resident 7's electronic or physical medical
records.
During an interview on 2/11/2026, at 12:47 PM, with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 7's mood varied from
day to day. LVN 1 stated Resident 7 had days where the resident was aggressive and tried to bite, hit, or
scratch staff and days where the resident was calm. LVN 1 stated Resident 7 has the aggressive behavior
towards staff at least once a week. LVN 1 stated CNAs also informed LVN 1 each time Resident 7 had an
episode of aggressive behavior. LVN 1 also stated Resident 7 had an order to monitor the resident's
behavior or hitting and grabbing staff. LVN 1 stated, he has not documented Resident 7's aggressive
behavior towards staff in the resident's MAR as ordered because LVN 1 forgets. LVN 1 stated it was
important to monitor and document Resident 7's aggressive behavior towards staff because it was used by
the physician to determine the need to continue, stop, or change Resident 7's Zyprexa medication.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026, at 3:26 PM, with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 7's MAR from 1/1/2026 to 1/31/2026 and 2/1/2026 to 2/28/2026 was reviewed.
The ADON stated Resident 7 was ordered for Zyprexa due to the resident's behavior of striking out and
grabbing staff. The ADON stated Resident 7's had an order to monitor Resident 7's behavior of striking out
and grabbing staff and Resident 7's MAR from 1/1/2026 to 1/31/2026 and 2/1/2026 to 2/28/2026 did not
indicate Resident 7 had any aggressive behavior towards staff. ADON stated LVN 1 and the licensed nurse
assigned to Resident 7 should have documented the aggressive behavior that LVN 1 witnessed and CNAs
report of aggressive behavior in Resident 7's MAR. ADON also stated it was important to monitor Resident
7's behavior to see if the Zyprexa was effective or needed to be discontinued. ADON stated not monitoring
and documenting Resident 7's behavior could cause Resident 7's physician to discontinue or incorrectly
adjust the resident's Zyprexa dose even if Resident 7 still had episodes of aggressive behavior. ADON
stated Resident 7's care plan for her behavior of striking out or grabbing staff was not followed.

to monitor behavior episodes of mood stabilizer/ bipolar disorder manifested by changes in mood from
happy to anger and tall with hashmarks for each episode on the MAR every shift for divalproex with only
yes or no documented. The MAR did not indicate documented tally hashmarks. ADON stated the MAR
should have been tallied to monitor the episodes of Resident 2's behavior of changes with mood and it was
not. ADON stated it is important to allow staff to document the number of times/ tally the number of the
episode occurred every shift as indicated in the ordered instead of a yes or no to ensure complete and
correct monitoring of Resident 2's behavior and so that Resident 2's doctor will know how many episodes
the resident is having and if adjustments to the medication is needed and to also evaluate its effectiveness.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated nursing staff documentation should be tallied
when monitoring Resident 2's bipolar disorder behavioral symptoms to accurately know how the resident's
mood is.

the policy indicated the attending physician and other staff will gather and document information to clarify a
resident's behavior, mood, function, medical condition, specific symptoms, and risks to the resident and
others and that 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 policy titled Policy on Unnecessary Medications, dated 7/2025, the policy
indicated:
Residents shall be free from unnecessary medications.
The purpose is to prevent the use of unnecessary medications, including psychotropic drugs and other
medications without adequate clinical indication, to ensure appropriate monitoring and gradual dose
reduction when required.
The policy applied to all licensed nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, consultant
pharmacists, and all staff involved in medication administration, monitoring, and documentation.
3. During a review of Resident 68's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 68 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission record indicated Resident 68's
diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental
abilities), psychosis and dementia.
During a review of Resident 68's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 68 had severely
impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 68 was dependent on
toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, tub/

MDS 1 stated the PO for behavior monitoring was incomplete because there was no specific aggressive
behavior to monitor such as Resident 68was hitting himself or the staff, yelling, verbal, or physical
aggression for the use of Quetiapine. MDS 1 also statedmonitoring aggressive behavior orders were almost
the same for both quetiapine and Depakote medications. MDS 1 also stated each medication should have a
different and specific behavior that needs to be monitored and documented so the staff can check if which
medication was effective for Resident 68.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 4:19 PM with MDS 1, Resident 68's Care
Plan (CP) for behavior problem dated 10/22/2025 was reviewed. TH CP intervention indicated to
monitor/document observed behavior and attempted interventions in resident record. MDS 1 stated the CP
intervention was not specific, incomplete and not person centered. MDs 1 stated the care plan should
include interventions for behavior monitoring specifically for Resident 68's antipsychotic drug use, and also
to check the effectiveness of the medications.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 AT 4:21 PM with MDS 1, the facility's P&P
titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, dated 5/2025 was reviewed. The P&P indicated, the nursing staff shall
monitor for and report any of the following side effects and adverse consequences of antipsychotic
medications to the attending physician. MDS 1 stated the P&P was missing the monitoring of the specific
behavior of the resident using the anti-psychotic medication, it should be included the policy, and not only
the adverse and side effects of medications.

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 a Level 1 Preadmission Screening and Resident
Review (PASRR, initial screening for all applicants to Medicaid-certified nursing facilities [meets federal and
state standards for care and is approved to receive payment from Medicaid {a government health insurance
program that provides free or low-cost coverage to eligible low-income individuals and families} for services
provided to eligible residents] for possible serious mental disorder [MD, a health condition characterized by
clinically significant alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior associated with distress and/or impaired
functioning], intellectual disability [ID, a condition characterized by significantly subaverage intellectual
functioning and substantial limitations in adaptive behavior] or a related condition, which is completed prior
to admission to a nursing facility) was completed and was accurate for two (2) of two (2) sampled residents
(Resident 38 and 68) reviewed for PASRR, in accordance with the facility's policy. This deficient practice
had the potential to result in inappropriate placement of Resident 38 and 68 and had the potential for not
receiving the necessary and appropriate level of treatment and evaluation in the facility.Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 38 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included major
depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and
unspecified intellectual disabilities.
During a review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/13/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 38 had an intact cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 38 was dependent
(helper does all the effort) with oral, toileting, and personal hygiene, shower, upper and lower body
dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident 38 was independent
(resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from helper) with eating.
During a review of Resident 38's Medical Records, Residents 38's medical records did not indicate there
was a PASARR 1 screening on 8/8/2025 re-admission.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 3:58 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON)
stated PASARR 1 screening should have been completed when Resident 38 was readmitted back on
8/8/2025 to ensure the resident will be provided with the right care and the right kind of treatment and was
appropriately placed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident
Review Reports (PASRR), updated on 1/2025, the P&P indicated that the facility must ensure PASARR
screening requirements which included pre-admission completion of PASARR process was completed prior
to any admission, regardless of the payer source (Medicaid, Medicare, or private pay).
2. During a review of Resident 68's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 68 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission record indicated Resident 68's
diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental
abilities), psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality) and dementia (a

During a review of Resident 68's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 68 had severely
impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 68 was dependent on
toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, tub/
shower transfer, walk 10, 50 and 150 feet
During a review of Resident 68's PASARR dated 10/3/2025, the PASARR indicated Level 1 was negative.
The PASARR indicated Resident 68 was not diagnosed with serious mental illness and was not taking any
psychotropic (any medication capable of affecting the mind, emotions, and behavior) medications.
During a review of Resident 68's Order Summary (OS) dated 2/11/2026. The OS indicated Resident 68 was
prescribed on 10/3/2025, Quetiapine (antipsychotic medication that treats several kinds of mental health
conditions including schizophrenia [a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and
behaves] and bipolar disorder [a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy,
activity levels, and concentration]) 25milligram (MG, unit of mass) by mouth at bedtime for psychosis
manifested by aggressive behavior.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 12:19 PM with DON, the PASRR dated
10/3/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated PASARR indicated Resident 68 was not diagnosed with serious
mental illness and was not taking any psychotropic medications. The DON stated Resident 68's latest
PASARR was dated 10/3/2025 from General Acute Hospital (GACH). The DON stated PASARR was
incorrectly filled out because it should have indicated that Resident 68 had a diagnosis of psychosis and
was taking Quetiapine.
During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 12:22 PM with the DON, the DON stated if the PASRR was incorrectly
done, the facility will not be able to provide the right level of care that Resident 68 possibly need.
During review of the facility's P&P titled, PASARR Compliance Policy, updated on 1/2025, the P&P
indicated,
1. Preadmission Screening (PAS) Requirements
Admissions from Hospitals: The facility must only accept residents from General Acute Care Hospitals
(GACH) if the PASRR Level I Screening has been completed and verified via the online system.
2. Level I Screening Process
Negative Results: If the screening is negative, the PAS RR process is complete, and the individual may be
admitted (pending other medical requirements).
3. Resident Review (RR) for Current Residents
Significant Change in Status: Staff must initiate a new Level I Screening as a Resident Review whenever a
current resident experiences a significant change in their physical or mental condition.
Indicators for RR: This includes new symptoms of SMI or ID/DD, or a change in physical health that could
alter the need for specialized mental. health services.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of 2 sampled residents
(Resident 3 and 38) reviewed for Activities of Daily Living (ADL - activities such as bathing, dressing and
toileting a person performs daily) were provided care and services to maintain good grooming and personal
hygiene by failing to:1. Ensure Resident 38's nails were trimmed and not long and jagged (an uneven,
rough, or broken free-edge fingernails). This deficient practice resulted in multiple scattered reddened
scratch marks on Resident 38's right arm.2. Ensure shower was provided for Resident 3 in accordance with
residents' shower requests. This deficient practice had the potential to result in a negative impact on
Resident 3's quality of life and self-esteem.Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 38 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), muscle disorders, and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/13/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 38 had an intact cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 38 was dependent
(helper does all the effort) with oral, toileting, and personal hygiene, shower, upper and lower body
dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident 38 was independent
(resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from helper) with eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 10:42 AM, Resident 38 was observed in the
hallway sitting in a wheelchair with multiple scattered reddened scratch marks on the right forearm and
long, untrimmed, jagged nails on both hands. Resident 38 stated that he scratched his arm with his nails.
During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 9:50 AM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated Resident
38's nails should be trimmed by the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) or charge nurses to prevent the
injuries from the resident scratching himself.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:33 PM, CNA 3 stated CNAs and Restorative Nursing Assistants
(RNAs) are assigned to do nail trimming for the residents. CNA 3 also stated long nails could easily get
dirty and could break the residents' skin and if the nails are dirty, it could potentially cause infection. CNA 3
further stated Resident 38 could bleed if he scratches his skin too much.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:37 PM, Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated residents sometimes
scratch themselves and if they have long and jagged nails, the residents could break their skin, injure
themselves and potentially bleed, especially if they take blood thinners (medications that help prevent
dangerous blood clots from forming).
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:59 PM, CNA 4 stated the CNA assigned to the resident should cut
the nails if they are long to prevent the residents' from injuring themselves.

2. During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The admission record indicated Resident 3's
diagnoses included spinal stenosis (happens when the space inside the backbone is too small) lumbar
(lower back bone) region, peripheral vascular disease (reduced circulation of blood to arms or legs due to a
narrowed or blocked blood vessel), and diabetes mellitus (DM, is a metabolic disease, involving
inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels)
During a review of Resident 3's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 3 had intact cognitive
skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 3 needed substantial/ maximal assistance
(helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunks or limbs, and provides more than half the
effort) in shower/ bathe self, putting on and taking off footwear and walk 50 feet. Resident 3 also needed
partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort, helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or
limbs but provides less than half the effort) in lower body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to
lying, lying-to-sitting on the side of the bed, sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/
shower transfer and walk 10 feet.
During an observation in Resident 3's room and interview on 2/9/2026 at 8:24 AM, Resident 3 was
observed awake and lying in bed. Resident 3 stated that he has been trying to request a shower for two
weeks, on both the morning and evening shifts, but his request has not been granted. Resident 3 stated
that, according to the staff, they cannot give him a shower because they are only allowed to give showers at
certain times. Resident 3 stated, They give me a bed bath every two days, but this does not work for my
hair. I want to wash my hair. It makes me feel uncomfortable. It is different when you take a shower—I
feel fresher, and it makes me feel better.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 8:48 AM with the ADON, Resident 3's
current Care Plan (CP) was reviewed. The ADON stated there was no CP formulated for Resident 3's
ADLs, which would include shower and/or bed bath. The ADON stated since there was no CP, there were
no interventions, which means the facility staff did not address Resident 3's ADL needs.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 12:01 PM with the ADON, Resident 3's
Shower and Bathing Flow Sheet (SBFS) dated 1/13/2026 to 2/9/2026 was reviewed. The ADON stated
there was no documentation whether a shower or bed bath was provided to Resident 3 on 1/13/2026,
1/21/2026,1/27/2026 to 1/31/2026, 2/4/2026 to 2/6/2026, 2/8/2026, and 2/9/2026. The ADON stated since
there was no documentation, it means Resident 3 was not provided with a shower or bed bath on the said
dates.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 12:30 PM with Director of Staff
Development (DSD), the CNA Shower Review Form (CSRF) dated 1/27/2026 to 2/9/2026 was reviewed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia
(an abnormally low level of sugar [glucose] in the blood) and hyperglycemia (a condition where the blood
glucose [sugar] levels are abnormally high) from 5/3/2025 up to 2/11/2026 for one (1) of 18 sampled
residents (Residents 3) on Insulin aspart (Novolog, is a rapid-acting, man-made version of human insulin),
as indicated on the care plan (CP). This deficient practice had the potential for Residents 3 not to receive
treatment in the event of a hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episode, which could lead to complications,
harm, hospitalization, or death.Findings:During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. The
admission record indicated Resident 3's diagnoses included spinal stenosis (happens when the space
inside the backbone is too small) lumbar (lower back bone) region, peripheral vascular disease (reduced
circulation of blood to arms or legs due to a narrowed or blocked blood vessel), and diabetes mellitus (DM,
is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels) During a review of Resident
3's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/26/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3
had intact cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily
decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 3 needed partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less
than half the effort, helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the effort) in
lower body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying, lying-to-sitting on the side of the bed,
sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/ shower transfer and walk 10 feet. The MDS
also indicated Resident 3 received seven (7) insulin injections. During an interview on 2/9/2026 at 8:41 AM
with Resident 3, Resident 3 stated, My eyes get blurry when my blood sugar is high, and I do not feel good.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 8:26 AM with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 3's Physician's Orders (PO), dated 5/23/2025, was reviewed. The ADON stated
Resident 3's PO indicated Insulin Aspart Subcutaneous (SQ, a shot that delivers medicine into the fatty
tissue layer just under the skin, above the muscle, using a short, small needle for slow, steady absorption)
Solution Pen-injector 100 units per milliliter (ML, measure of volume)Inject as per sliding scale:if 0 - 150 =

Blood Suar was greater than (>)400, SQ inject 10 units insulin and report to MD, subcutaneously before
meals and at bedtime for DM.The ADON stated Resident 3 did not have an order to monitor for signs and
symptoms (s/s) of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia while using insulin. The ADON stated there should
have been monitoring orders so it can be ensured that the licensed nurses would assess Resident 3 for the
s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at
8:28 AM with the ADON, Resident 3's Care Plan (CP) for diabetes mellitus, dated 10/8/2025, was reviewed.
The CP indicated Resident 3 was at risk for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. The CP interventions indicated
the following: Monitor/document/report as needed (PRN) s/s of hyperglycemia: increase thirst, headaches,
trouble concentrating, blurred vision, frequent urination, fatigue, and weight loss. Monitor/document/report
PRN signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia: sweating, tremor, increased heart rate (tachycardia), pallor
(skin paleness), nervousness, confusion, slurred speech, lack of coordination, staggering gait.MDSN stated
Resident 3's CP interventions for monitoring hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia were not followed or

the staff should have documented whether Resident 3 exhibited s/s of hypoglycemia (such as sweating,
tremors, increased heart rate [tachycardia], pallor, nervousness, confusion, slurred speech, lack of
coordination, or a staggering gait) or not. The ADON also stated it was important for the licensed staff to
monitor so Resident 3's physician could be notified, and additional orders could be obtained if Resident 3
becomes hypo or hyperglycemic . During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 8:34 PM
with ADON, the Nurses' Progress Notes (NPN) dated 1/12/2026 to 2/11/2026 were reviewed. The NPN did
not indicate any documentation for monitoring Resident 3 for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. ADON
stated there was no documentation for monitoring resident 3 for s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
The NPN indicates the licensed staff do not check Resident 3 after giving him insulin. Resident 3's blood
sugar was always high so the resident can undergo diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA, is a life-threatening,
emergency complication of diabetes caused by a severe lack of insulin) or diabetic coma (a medical
emergency caused by a blood sugar level that was too low or too high). During a concurrent interview and
record review with the ADON on 2/11/2026 at 8:34 PM, the Nurses' Progress Notes (NPN), dated

Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
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 one of one sampled resident (Resident
72) from the vision/hearing care area, maintained a scheduled ophthalmology (the specialized field of
medicine that focuses on the health of the eye appointment).This failure resulted in a delaying preoperative
appointment with the potential risk for a delay in necessary treatment and evaluation including
surgery.Findings:During a review of Resident 72's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
Resident 72 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fusion of the
spine (a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae [a small bone in the spine] in
the spine), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing), and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 72's Opthalmaology Consultation, dated
10/7/2025, the Opthalmaology Consultation indicated complaints of cataract (the clouding of the eye's
natural lens), eye pain and blurrier vision on the left eye. It also indicated, Resident 72 had history of
cataract to the left and right eye with physician recommendations to refer Resident 72 to a cataract surgeon
for surgery evaluation with the goal of treatment being a quality-of-life enhancement. During a review of
Resident 72's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 72 has intact cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident
72 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity) with
eating and oral hygiene and supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with toileting and
personal hygiene and showering/bathing self. During a review of Resident 72's Physician Orders, dated
12/5/2025, the Physician Orders indicated a preoperative ophthalmology appointment on 1/29/2026 at 8
AM. During an interview on 2/9/2026 at 10:30 AM with Resident 72, Resident 72 stated she is having
trouble with her vision and had an ophthalmology appointment, sometime in 1/2026, to have surgery on her
eye, but it was missed and it was an important appointment because They were going to measure my
eyeballs and stuff. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 7:55 AM with
Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2), Resident 72's medical chart dated from 1/14/2026 to 2/12/2026, was reviewed.
The medical chart did not indicate the reason for Resident 72's missed ophthalmology appointment on
1/29/2026, if Resident 72 refused and/or that Resident 72's doctor was notified of the missed appointment.
RN 2 stated there was no documentation including a progress note or MD notification regarding Resident
72's missed ophthalmology appointment on 1/29/2026. RN 2 added, the missed appointment and what was
done after the appointment was missed should have been documented in Resident 72's records and it was
not documented it was not done. RN 2 stated Resident 72's ophthalmology appointment was regarding a
surgery the resident needs for both eyes. RN 2 stated it was important that Resident 72 made it to her
scheduled appointments, and the doctor should have been made aware if the resident missed the
appointment for the resident's safety and care and to be evaluated if the eye surgery can wait. During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Ancillary Services, (undated) the P&P indicated the
facility shall provide or arrange necessary ancillary services based on physician orders and resident needs.
The P&P indicated ancillary services may include vision services, shall be coordinated with nursing and
other disciplines to ensure continuity of care. During a review of the facility's policy titled Visually Impaired
Resident, Care of, dated 10/2024, the policy indicated it was the facility's responsibility to assist the resident
and representatives in locating available resources, scheduling appointments and arranging transportation
to obtain needed services.

bed, sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/ shower transfer and walk 10 feet. The
MDS also indicated Resident 3 was at risk for pressure ulcers and was using pressure relieving devices for
bed.
During a review of Resident 3's Braden Scale Assessment (BSA, tool use to check a resident's risk for
developing pressure sores), dated 11/26/2025, indicated Resident 3 was at high risk for developing
pressure ulcers.
During an observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 8:33 AM in Resident 3's room, Resident 3 was
observed awake and lying on a LALM which was set at 270 lbs. Resident 3 stated he was using the LALM
because he used to have a pressure ulcer on his right buttock which was resolved for few months now.
Resident 3 stated his estimated weight was 197 lbs.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 12 PM with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) in Resident 3's room, Resident 3 was observed awake and lying on a LALM. ADON stated
Resident 3's LALM was set at 210 lbs. The ADON stated the LALM should be set based on Resident's

physician's order, dated 9/29/2025, and weight for the month of December 2025 were reviewed. The
physician's order indicated LALM skin management per resident request every shift. Resident 3's weight on
12/1/5/2025 indicated 199 lbs. The ADON added that if the LALM setting was too high, it would be too firm
and could cause skin breakdown because it would place pressure on Resident 3's pressure points, such as
the hips and sacral area, causing him to lie on bony prominences. The ADON also stated that staff should
check the LALM every shift to ensure it is set up correctly.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 12: 15 PM with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 3's care plan for skin management, dated 12/4/2025, was reviewed. The DON stated
Resident 3's care plan did not and should have included the use of LALM to ensure that it was properly
implemented.

admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included epilepsy (brain activity that causes sudden,
uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain and sometimes loss of awareness), major depressive
disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and mental
disorder (a significant long-lasting disturbance in thinking, emotion, mood or behavior that impair daily
functioning).
During a review of Resident 42's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 42 was assessed to
have moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 42 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with
eating, oral/toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper/lower body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and
right, sit to lying, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. The MDS also indicated Resident 42 was at risk for
developing pressure ulcers/injuries.

During an observation in Resident 42's room on 2/9/2026, at 10:52 AM, Resident 42 was observed in bed
with the LALM mattress setting at 240 lbs.
During an interview, on 2/10/2026, at 1:11 PM, with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
Resident 42 had sensitive skin and a history of pressure ulcers and skin breakdown. CNA 1 stated
Resident 42's LALM was to prevent her from developing pressure ulcers. CNA 1 stated licensed nurses
were responsible for adjusting Resident 42's LALM setting. CNA 1 stated she did not know what Resident
42's LALM setting was supposed to be.
During an interview on 2/10/2026, at 1:04 PM, with Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1), TN 1 stated Resident 42
used a LALM for wound prevention and management because Resident 42 had a history of pressure ulcers
and skin breakdown. TN 1 stated the LALM setting should be based on Resident 42's weight. TN stated if
Resident 42's weight was 140 lbs. then her LALM setting should have been set to 120 lbs. TN stated it was
the responsibility of licensed nurses to make sure Resident 42's LALM was in the correct setting every shift.
TN stated it was important for the LALM to be in the proper setting to get the benefits of wound prevention
and management.
During an interview, on 2/11/2026, at 3:34 PM, with the ADON, the ADON stated Resident 42 required
maximum assistance with turning and positioning in bed. The ADON stated Resident 42 had a history of
pressure ulcers and was ordered to use a LALM for wound management. The ADON stated Resident 42's
LALM was used to prevent pressure points while Resident 42 was in bed. The ADON stated Resident 42's
LALM setting at 240 lbs. was wrong. The ADON stated Resident 42's LALM setting should have been set
according to Resident 42's weight of 140 lbs. The ADON stated it was the responsibility of the TN and
licensed nurses to check the setting of the LALMs during their rounds. The ADON stated the facility's P&P
should indicate the setting the residents' LALM needed to follow.
During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Low Air Loss Support Surface Policy, revised 7/2025, the P&P
indicated the following:
The facility will establish clinical and documentation standards for the use of Low Air Loss LAL support
surfaces to prevent and treat pressure injuries in accordance with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services), Medicare (health insurance program for people age [AGE] or older), Medi-Cal (California's free

of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/27/2026, the MDS
indicated Resident 78 had severely impaired cognitive skills (ability to understand and make decisions) for
daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 78 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with
toileting, shower/bathing self, dressing, walking and transfers, partial/moderate assistance (helper does
less than half the effort) with eating, oral and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 78's medical
record, dated from 1/21/2026 through 2/12/2026, the medical record indicated Resident 78 had 2 falls while
at the facility on 1/31/2026 and 2/4/2026. During a review of Resident 78's Fall Risk Assessment, dated
2/4/2026, the Fall Risk Assessment indicated the resident was assessed to be at high risk (a significantly
increased likelihood of falling) for fall. During a review of Resident 78's At Risk for Injury Related to Recent
Fall 2/4/2025 care plan, dated 2/5/2026, the care plan indicated the intervention of frequent visual checks.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:10 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5), LVN 5 stated she
was assigned to provide care to Resident 78 during the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift and was unable to state
the resident specific fall prevention intervention of frequent visual checks for Resident 78. LVN 5 stated she
was not aware of Resident 78's full fall history and risk for fall because this was the first time she was
working with Resident 78. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:10 AM with
LVN 5 at Resident 78's room door, Resident 78's name plate (mounted signage outside of the door used for
identifying the resident and their bed location) was observed with no fall risk identifier (a red star). LVN 5
stated red stars are placed next to the resident's name per facility protocol and to identify if residents have
had recent falls. LVN 5 stated Resident 78's name plate did not have a red star but should have because
Resident 78 had a recent fall and is at high risk for fall. LVN 5 further stated it was important to use the fall
risk identifier and implement fall prevention measures to keep staff alert and ensure the patients are safe
and their needs are met. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:52 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 6
(CNA 6), CNA 6 stated he was assigned to provide care to Resident 78 during the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift
and was not aware if Resident 78 had any history of falls and/or the cause of previous falls. CNA 6 further
stated Resident 78 was not a high risk for falls because

She does not have any red stars on the door. CNA 6 stated he provided rounding and visual checks on
Resident 78 every 2 hours and would do it more often (did not specify how often) if the resident had the red
start sign that resident is fall risk. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:15 PM with the Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated staff should be aware of their assigned residents' fall risks, history, and
that fall prevention measures should be implemented to ensure everyone is aware of how to prevent
another fall from occurring for the residents. ADON also stated, without staff implementing fall prevention
measures and/or identifying the fall risk accurately for residents, there is no way to ensure the residents'
safety. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, updated
1/27/2025, the policy indicated:Staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and
causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.The
identification of residents at risk for falls will include:Yellow star located on the name plate outside of the
Residents room, which identifies falls within the past 3 months.Red star located on the name plate outside
of the Residents room, which identifies falls within the past 1 month.The staff will implement a
resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or
with a history of falls.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 18 sampled residents (Resident
78) who was incontinent (loss of control) of bladder, was provided a bladder retraining and/or toileting
program (helps manage incontinence [involuntary loss of urine or stool] by training the bladder to hold more
urine and reducing the frequency of bathroom visits) in accordance with the resident care plan (a document
that outlines the facility's plan to provide personalized care to a resident based on the resident's needs) and
the facility's policy and procedure titled Bowel and Bladder Program. This deficient practice had potential to
result in Resident 78's inability to regain control of bladder function, continued urinary incontinence, and
development of urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys,
bladder or urethra), and/or another occurrence of fall.Findings:During a review of Resident 78's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 78 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (an injury of the spine
where the front part of a vertebra [a small bone in the spine] collapses, creating a wedge-shaped bone) of
first lumbar (lower part of the back) vertebra, spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spaces within your spine),
displaced fracture (a severe break where the bone snaps into two or more pieces and moves out of its
normal alignment, creating a gap between the fragments) of the left ulna (a long bone in the forearm) and
hepatomegaly (an abnormally enlarged liver).During a review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS
-resident assessment tool), dated 1/27/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 78 had severely impaired
cognitive skills (ability to understand and make decisions) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated
Resident 78 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with toileting, shower/bathing self, dressing,
walking and transfers, partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, oral
and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 78's SBAR (situation, background, assessment,
recommendation- a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition
among the residents) / Change of Condition (COC), dated 1/31/2026, the SBAR/COC indicated Resident
78 had an unwitnessed fall after attempting to go to the bathroom. The SBAR/COC also indicated Resident
78 was incontinent (inability to control) with bladder and bowel.During a review of Resident 78's Actual Fall
Related to Actual Fall Occurred on 1/31/2026 care plan, dated 2/2/2026, the care plan indicated the
initiation of bladder training program for two (2) weeks then transition resident to scheduled toileting using
bedside commode as tolerated.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 9:41 AM with Resident 78, Resident 78
stated she wears A diaper and urinates inside of there, instead of going to the restroom.During an interview
on 2/12/2026 at 10:10 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5), LVN 5 stated according to Resident
78's care plan for Actual Fall Related to Actual Fall Occurred on 1/31/2026, Resident 78 should currently be
on a bladder training program, but LVN 5 has not implemented it for the resident because LVN 5 is not
aware how to complete bladder training for Resident 78 because that is only done for residents with urinary
catheters (a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine), and Resident 78 does not
currently have a catheter.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:52 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 6
(CNA 6), CNA 6 stated Resident 78 is incontinent, and incontinent briefs are currently being used for the
resident. CNA 6 stated Resident 78 is not currently on a bladder training program.During an interview on
12/12/026 at 11:09 AM with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDS 1), MDS 1 stated a bladder training
program was initiated by MDS 1 for Resident 78 after the resident's fall on 1/31/2026 where the cause was

go to the restroom. MDS 1 stated, when a resident is on the bladder training program, certified nursing
assistants (CNAs) are to check on the residents hourly to assess if the resident needs to use the restroom
and document it in the resident's electronic medical records. MDS 1 stated this intervention was necessary
for Resident 78 so staff can assess when/ what time or the pattern the resident usually goes to the
restroom and needs assistance, because Resident 78 is confused and may not be able to call the staff to
ask for assistance.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 11:17 AM with LVN 5,
Resident 78's paper and electronic medical charts, dated 2/5/2026 through 2/12/2026, were reviewed. The
medical chart did not indicate any documentation of hourly or scheduled intervals of Resident 78 being
offered toileting assistance, the initiation of a bladder training program or tolerance of a bladder training
program. LVN 5 stated if the bladder training program was implemented, there would be documentation in
the resident paper and electronic medical chart and there is none, so it was not done. LVN 5 stated it was
important to implement the bladder training program for Resident 78 so staff can monitor when the resident
need to use the restroom and to help prevent bladder infections and another occurrence of fall.During an
interview on 2/12/2026 at 11:28 AM with the Medical Records Director (MRD), the MRD stated Resident 78
did not have any paper documentation regarding bowel and bladder training.During an interview on
2/12/2026 at 2:15 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated per facility protocol, for
bowel and bladder training program, the CNAs are to check the residents and offer to take the resident to
the restroom hourly. ADON also stated it was important to ensure the bladder training program was
implemented because it is the reason the resident fell previously and it will help prevent future falls.During a
review of the facility's policy titled Bowel and Bladder Program, (undated), the policy indicated the purpose
was to promote continence, dignity, skin integrity, and quality of life for residents. The policy also indicated
the nursing staff and CNAs shall implement the program as outlined in the care plan, residents shall be
offered toileting assistance at scheduled intervals and staff shall document bowel and bladder function,
episodes of incontinence and response int the medical record and flow sheets as applicable.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store the nebulizer (a small device that turns
liquid medicine into a mist or fine spray) mask in a clean plastic bag when not in use for one (1) of 1
sampled resident (Resident 55) reviewed for respiratory care services, as indicated on the facility policy
and procedure (P&P). This deficient practice had the potential to contaminate the nebulizer and place
Resident 55 at risk for respiratory infectionFindings:During a review of Resident 55's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis that included
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing).
During a review of Resident 55's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 55 had moderate impairment in cognitive (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident
55 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with oral and personal, and toileting hygiene, shower, lower
body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident 55 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with upper body dressing and
required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating.During a review of
Resident 55's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated an order for Albuterol Sulfate
(a drug that relaxes and opens the airways, used to treat COPD) inhalation nebulization solution 1.25
milligrams (mg- metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) per three (3) cubic
centimeters (cc, unit of volume on liquids) to give 1 dose via nebulizer every four (4) hours as needed for
shortness of breath (SOB, difficulty breathing)/wheezing (a high-pitched sound made when breathing is
restricted/obstructed in the lungs). During a review of the medication administration records (MAR, a daily
documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a
resident), the MAR indicated Resident 55 was administered the Albuterol Sulfate Nebulization solution 1.25
mg per 3 cc on 2/1/2026, 2/4/2026, and 2/7/2026.During an observation in Resident 55's room on 2/9/2026
at 9:15 AM, Resident 55 was in bed sleeping. Resident 55's nebulizer mask was observed attached to an
oxygen tubing connected to the nebulizer machine and placed inside the resident's bedside drawer. The
nebulizer mask was not stored in a plastic bag.During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 2:14 PM, Licensed
Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6) stated Resident 55 was receiving nebulizer treatment. LVN 6 also stated the
resident's nebulizer mask should have been placed inside a labeled clean plastic bag to prevent
contamination which could potentially cause respiratory infection. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 2:46
PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated nebulizer masks should be placed in a clean plastic bag to
prevent the mask from getting dirty and contaminated, which could prevent Resident 55 from getting
respiratory infection.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Nebulizer Treatment, dated 6/2025, the P&P
indicated that the facility ensures the safe . administration of nebulizer treatments while minimizing infection
risk and ensuring optimal respiratory outcomes for the residents. The P&P indicated that the equipment
shall be stored clean, dry, and labeled for resident specific use.

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor the fluid intake for one (1) of 1
sampled resident (Resident 92) reviewed for dialysis in accordance with the care plan and facility policy.
This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident at risk for fluid overload (a condition where the
body has too much fluid) or 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 92's admission Record, the

Resident 92 was awake and lying in bed. A pitcher that was half full of water (approximately 500 cc) was
observed on Resident 92's bedside table.During a review of Resident 92's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a
resident assessment tool), dated 2/10/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 92 had moderate impairment in
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision
making. The MDS also indicated Resident 92 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting,
shower, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident 92
required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with upper body dressing
and required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene. The MDS
also indicated Resident 92 required setup assistance (helper sets up; resident completes activity) with
eating.During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 2:26 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) stated she had
placed a full pitcher of water in Resident 92's room. CNA 5 stated she should not have provided Resident
92 with a full pitcher of water since the resident should not be drinking a lot of water. CNA 5 further stated
she does not check or measure how much water Resident 92 drinks from the water pitcher.During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 3:30 PM with MDS Coordinator (MDS 1), Resident
92's medical records were reviewed. MDS 1 stated Resident 92 was on 1500 cc fluid restriction according
to the physician's order but there was no documentation of fluid intake monitoring in the MAR. MDS 1
added that there was no amounts of fluid intake documented by the CNAs on the task section of the
resident's medical record since 2/5/2026. MDS 1 stated it was important to monitor and document Resident
92's fluid intake to ensure the physician's order for fluid restriction was followed to prevent the resident from
developing fluid overload.During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 3:52 PM, the Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) stated Resident 92's fluid intake should have been documented in the resident's MAR every shift to
verify how much fluid the resident had taken. ADON also stated Resident 92 fluid intake should be
monitored because the resident could either get too much fluid and develop fluid overload or not enough
fluids which could get the resident dehydrated (losing too much water).During an interview on 2/11/2026 at
5 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the CNA should have asked Licensed Nursing staff if the
resident was allowed fluids or not and should not keep water at bedside for residents on fluid restrictions to
prevent going over the

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure appropriate competencies and skills sets
to provide nursing and related services were completed for one (1) of four (4) sampled employees in
accordance with the facility assessment when Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN3) did not have a
medication administration competency completed upon hire. This deficient practice has the potential to
cause improper medication administration causing medication errors which could result in resident harm.
Findings:During a review of LVN 3's Application of Employment, dated 2/28/2025, the application indicated
LVN 3 was hired on 3/10/2025.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 3:13 PM
with ADON, the Employee Competency Folder for LVN 3 was reviewed. There was no documentation that
the new hire competency pre-checklist skills form was completed for LVN 3. The ADON stated LVN 3 was
hired on 3/10/2025 and the competency folder should have the competency pre- checklist form during the
start of LVN 3's floor orientation. The ADON stated they should have kept all the competency documents in
LVN 3's competency folder. The ADON stated if there was no record, it means it was not done.During an
interview on 2/12/2026 at 3:19 PM with ADON, ADON stated LVN 3 did not have the opportunity to be
followed by the facility's pharmacy consultant to be evaluated for the medication pass/administration
because LVN 3 was sick on the days that he was supposed to be evaluated. The ADON stated that LVN 3
needs to complete the medication pass competency. During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/12/2026 at 4:35 PM with ADON, LVN3's Orientation Competency Checklist was reviewed. The ADON
stated the basic medication administration was not and should have been included in the skills checklist to
be able to ensure and verify that LVN 3 had done the medication administration competency.During a
review of facility assessment tool dated 9/25/2024, and updated on 10/5/2025, the facility assessment tool
indicated in,Part 2: Services and Care We Offer Based on our Residents' Needs, General Care:
Medications, Awareness of any limitations of administering medications Administration of medications that
residents need by route: oral, nasal, buccal, sublingual, topical, subcutaneous, rectal, intravenous
(peripheral or central lines), intramuscular, inhaled (nebulizer, metered dose inhaler), vaginal, ophthalmic,
etc.Staff training/education and competencies3.6 Describe the staff training/education and competencies
that are necessary to provide the level and types of support and care needed for your resident population.
Include staff certification requirements as applicable. Potential data sources include hiring, education,
training, competency instruction, and testing policies.It may be helpful to review specific references in the
regulation regarding the facility assessment (see Attachment 1).Review current regulations and list all staff
training and competencies needed by type of staff, including managers, nursing, and other direct care staff,
as well as individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement and volunteers. Consider if it
would be helpful to indicate which competencies are reviewed at the time the staff member is hired, and
cadence of subsequent reviews.Consider the following competencies (this is not an inclusive list):

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including
procedures to ensure the accurate acquiring, administering of drugs and biologicals to meet the needs for
four (4) of four sampled residents (Residents 38, 2, 82, and 67) reviewed and observed for medication
administration, in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) by failing to:Correctly administer
Combivent Respimat (medication used to treat and prevent tightening of the airway in adults) for Resident
38 as indicated in the package insert (a document included in the package of a medication that provides
information about the medication and its use) This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 38 to
experience shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. 2a. Administer 16 medications within 60 minutes of
scheduled time of 9 AM for Resident 2.This deficient practice had the potential for a decline in Resident 2's
overall health status and decrease the therapeutic levels for Resident 2's 16 medications which could cause
Resident 2's mood, pain, blood pressure, heart rhythm, diabetes mellitus (DM- is a metabolic disease,
involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels) symptoms to worsen or not be properly managed.
2b. Ensure the delayed or extended-release (designed to release active ingredients slowly into the
bloodstream over an extended period, providing a steady, consistent dose rather than an immediate spike
and drop) formulation of divalproex (medication used to treat bipolar disorder [bpd-mental illness that
causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration]), metoprolol
(medication used to lower high blood pressure) and aspirin (a medication used as prophylaxis [action to
prevent disease] for cerebrovascular accident [CVA or stroke- a medical emergency where blood flow to a
part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients]) were not
crushed, compromising the slow release of the medication for Resident 2.This deficient practice had the
potential for harm to Resident 2 due to the potential side effects from medication administered not
according to its extended-release or delayed release formulation. 3.Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) used two (2) resident identifiers (unique, person-specific data points used to accurately identify,
locate, or verify the identity of a resident such as in a long-term care facility. These identifiers are crucial for
patient safety, typically requiring at least two unique identifiers such as full name, date of birth , or medical
record number to distinguish the residents) prior administering medication to Resident 82 on
2/11/2026.This deficient practice had the potential to result in ineffectively managing Residents 82 medical
condition and placing the resident for medication errors (any preventable event that may cause or lead to
inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of a healthcare
professional, patient, or consumer) and compromised resident safety.4. Failed to ensure Licensed
Vocational Nurse 6 (LVN 6) prepared the correct medication of Vitamin C ascorbic acid 500 milligrams (mgmetric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) for Resident 67 during medication
administration. On 2/11/2026, LVN 6 prepared Rena Vite (a medication with a combination of B vitamins
used to treat or prevent vitamin deficiency) to administer to Resident 67 instead of the resident's Vitamin C.
This failure had the potential for Resident 67 to receive double dose of Rena Vite and a missed prescribed
dose of Vitamin C.Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 38 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
metabolic encephalopathy (problem in the brain caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen
into the blood or eliminate enough carbon dioxide from the body), and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
amlodipine besylate, aspirin EC, divalproex sodium, and Pacerone that were scheduled to be given at 9
AM, were administered to the resident after 10 AM. LVN 3 stated Resident 2's medications were given late
because the resident had a lot of medications scheduled for 9 AM. LVN 3 also stated Resident 2's late
medication administration was caused by the need to replace the blood pressure cuff (the device wrapped
around the arm to measure blood pressure) and check Resident 2's blood sugar before medication pass.
LVN 3 stated it was important for Resident 2 to receive her hydralazine, losartan potassium, metoprolol
succinate, and amlodipine besylate medications on time because Resident 2's systolic blood pressure
(SBP- pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps ran in the high 150s and the resident
needed her medications to maintain her blood pressure in the normal range.
During the same interview, on 2/12/2026, at 1:40 PM, LVN 3 stated it was important for Resident 2 to
receive her metformin on time because the resident had DM and needed her metformin to maintain her
blood sugar in the normal range. LVN 3 stated not giving Resident 2 her metformin on time could cause her
to have symptoms of hyperglycemia (which the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal) like
shaking and sweating. LVN 3 stated not giving Resident 2's medications on time could cause her to display
side effects like unstable mood, pain, irregular heartbeat, and placed Resident 2 at risk for developing a
DVT. LVN 3 stated it was important to administer medications as scheduled to prevent giving the
medications too close together which could cause the residents to receive too much medication and drug
interactions (a change in the way a medication works in the body caused by the presence of another
substance, such as other drugs).
During an interview, on 2/12/2026, at 4:10 PM with ADON, ADON stated medications can be administered
1 hour before and 1 hour after the scheduled administration time. ADON stated 9 AM medications were
considered late if administered after 10 AM. ADON stated it was important to give medications on time to
ensure the proper timing was given in between the medications or the next dose of the same medication.
ADON also stated, not administering medications on time can affect the therapeutic levels (medication
concentration in the blood, maximizing the effectiveness while minimizing the side effects) of the
medications. ADON stated LVN 3 should have given Resident 2's 9 AM medications as ordered because
they were significant medications (medications that pose a high risk of causing substantial patient harm,
injury, or death if misused, dosed incorrectly, or administered not as ordered by the physician). ADON
stated Resident 2 can experience symptoms such as hypertension, high blood sugar, depression,
depression, blood clots, pain, and abnormal heartbeat if the therapeutic levels of her medications were low.
ADON stated LVN 3 did not follow the policy for medication administration.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Administering Medications, revised
9/2025, the P&P indicated the following:
Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed.
Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame.
Medications administration times are determined by resident need and benefit, not staff convenience.
Factors that are considered include: enhancing optimal therapeutic effect of the medication.
Medications are administered within 1 hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified.

Give 1 tablet every 12 hours for hypertension. Hold if systolic blood pressure (SBP) less than (<)110, heart
rate (HR) <60 with food.
During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 9:52 AM with LVN 3, LVN 3 crushed all the 9 AM medications for
Resident 2.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:40 PM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated there were three medications for
Resident 2 that indicated do not crush on the label. LVN 3 stated he did not know that those 3 medications
(divalproex, aspirin and metoprolol) cannot be crushed. LVN 3 stated, LVN 3 crushed the medications and
did not inform the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), the facility's pharmacy or Resident 2's doctor.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:04 PM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated when medications indicate delayed
release it means once it was swallowed, it was slowly dissolved and absorbed in the body. LVN 3 also
stated if the delayed release medications were crushed, it affects the slow effect of the medication and it
becomes rapid release which can affect Resident 2's mood, which could result to depressive symptoms,
affect the resident's the blood pressure, blood consistency and Resident 2 can become unstable. LVN 3
stated Resident 2's physician's order for divalproex, aspirin and metoprolol were not followed.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 4:10 PM with the DON, the DON stated when medications have an
instruction of do not crush, the medications will not be absorbed properly. The DON stated the licensed
nurses need to call the doctor or pharmacy to change the form, or if not able to, call the doctor to change
the medications. The DON stated if a medication is labeled as delayed?release, it means that once it is
swallowed, it dissolves slowly in the body. If it is crushed, it disrupts the delayed or slow-release
mechanism, causing the medication to be released too quickly. This can affect the resident's depression
treatment and lead to instability.
During review of the facility's P&P titled, Administering Medications updated on 9/2025, the P&P indicated,
medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The P&P also indicated,
medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame.

Residents Affected - Some
region, acute respiratory failure (occurs when you do not have enough oxygen in your blood) with hypoxia
(a dangerous condition that happens when your body doesn't get enough oxygen) and hypertension( high
blood pressure)
During a review of Resident 82's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 82 had moderately
impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 82 was dependent (helper
does all of the effort, resident does not effort to complete the activity) in toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe
self, putting on / taking off footwear, sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, and tub/
shower transfer.
During a review of Resident 82's electronic Medication Administration Record (MAR, is a report detailing
the drugs administered to a resident by a healthcare professional at a treatment facility) for the month of
February 2026. The MAR indicated the following medications were administered at 5:00PM:
Atorvastatin 20 MG for hyperlipidemia (a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of lipids [fats] in
the blood).
Bethanechol 25 MG for urinary retention (a condition in which you cannot empty all the urine from your
bladder).
Calcium & Phosphorus with Vitamin D (supplement).
Docusate Sodium 250 MG for bowel management.

was sitting on her wheelchair. LVN 3 handed the medicine cup containing all five (5) medications
(Atorvastatin, Bethanechol, Calcium Phosphorous with Vitamin D, docusate sodium and meclizine to
Resident 82. LVN 3 did not verify Resident 82's identity by asking the resident's full name, date of birth , or
medical record number before giving the medication. Resident 82 was not properly informed of the 5
medications being administered to the resident before Resident 82 took the medications with a cup of
water.
During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 4:35 PM with LVN 2 stated she only used one (1) identifier only the
resident's MAR. LVN 2 stated she did not verify Resident 82's identity by asking the resident for at least two
identifiers such as the resident's name, date of birth or medical record number before administering the
medications because LVN 2 knew the resident already. LVN 2 stated she also did not look at Resident 82's
armband (patient identification wristband- a secure, durable, and typically waterproof band worn around the
wrist or ankle by individuals admitted to nursing homes, or long-term care facilities. It functions as a critical
safety device that links a person to their medical records, ensuring accurate identification to reduce medical
errors) to verify Resident 2's identity. LVN 2 stated she should have used two (2) patient identifiers such as
checking the armband and asking the resident's name because it was part of the five (5) rights of
medication administration.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 At 2:38 PM with Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), IPN stated the
licensed nurse needed to verify two (2) resident identifiers by asking the resident's name and verifying the

stated she put the Rena Vite in the cup labeled Vitamin C, but it was the wrong medication prepared. LVN 6
stated she should have checked the medication bubble pack more than once to ensure the prepared
medication was Vitamin C and not Rena Vite, because Rena Vite had already been prepared for Resident
67. LVN 6 stated it was important to follow the facility policy and ensure that the right medication is
prepared to prevent administering extra or double dose if Rena Vite and/ or administering the wrong
medication to the residents. LVN 6 added, if the wrong medication is administered to residents, they would
not receive their medications as ordered and needed.

medications were given late because she had a lot of medications scheduled for 9 AM. LVN 3 also stated
Resident 2's late medication administration was caused by the need to replace the blood pressure cuff (the
device wrapped around the arm to measure blood pressure) and check Resident 2's blood sugar before
medication pass. LVN 3 stated it was important for Resident 2 to receive her hydralazine, losartan
potassium, metoprolol succinate, and amlodipine besylate medications on time to because Resident 2's
SBP ran in the high 150s and needed her medications to maintain her blood pressure in the normal range.
LVN 3 stated it was important for Resident 2 to receive her metformin on time because she had DM and
needed her metformin to maintain her blood sugar in the normal range. LVN 3 stated not giving Resident 2
her metformin on time could cause her to have symptoms of hyperglycemia like shaking and sweating. LVN
3 stated not giving Resident 2's medications on time could cause her to display side effects like unstable
mood, pain, irregular heartbeat, and placed Resident 2 at risk for developing a DVT. LVN 3 stated it was
important to administer medications as scheduled to prevent giving them too close together which could
cause the residents to receive too much medication.

nurses need to call the doctor or pharmacy to change the form, or if not able to, call the doctor to change
the medications. The DON stated if a medication is labeled as delayed?release, it means that once it is
swallowed, it dissolves slowly in the body. If it is crushed, it disrupts the delayed or slow-release
mechanism, causing the medication to be released too quickly. This can affect the resident's depression
treatment and lead to instability.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of four sampled residents
(Residents 38 and Resident 2) were free from significant medication errors (error which causes the resident
discomfort or jeopardizes his or her health and safety) by failing to: Correctly administer Combivent
Respimat (medication used to treat and prevent tightening of the airway in adults) for Resident 38 as
indicated in the package insert (a document included in the package of a medication that provides
information about the medication and its use) This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 38 to
experience shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. 2. Ensure the extended-release formulation of
divalproex, metoprolol, and Aspirin were not crushed, compromising the slow release of the medications for
Resident 2. This deficient practice had the potential for harm to Resident 2 due to the potential side effects
from medications administered not according to its extended-release formulation.Findings:

Residents Affected - Some
Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and review, the facility failed to label and store drugs in locked
compartments as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) by failing to ensure: One unopened
insulin (a hormone that works by lowering levels of sugar in the blood) pen was stored inside the
refrigerator instead of inside Medication Cart 1 (MC 1) per manufacturer's guidelines. This deficient practice
had the potential for loss of efficacy of the insulin medication. 2. One opened Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution
(a medication that treats shortness of breath by opening the air passages in the lungs) foil packet, with an
open date of 2/1/2026 and expired 7 days after opening, was removed from MC 1 as indicated in the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P). 3. One opened Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution foil packet, which
expires 7 days after opening, was labeled with the opened date and was removed from MC 1 as indicated
in the facility's P&P. 4. One opened Albuterol Sulfate inhalation solution (medication used to treat shortness
of breath) foil packet, with an opened date of 1/27/2026, which expired two weeks after opening, was
removed from MC 1 as indicated in the facility's P&P. These deficient practices had the potential for loss of
efficacy of the medications and unintentional medication administration of expired medications, which could
potentially cause harm to the residents. 5. Expired syringes, needles and alcohol prepping pads were kept
inside the medication storage room.This deficient practice had the potential for residents to have an
adverse reaction in the event that the expired syringes, needles and alcohol prepping pads were used for
the residents.Findings:
1. During the concurrent medication inspection and interview on 2/12/2026, at 11:38 AM, of MC 1, with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5), one unopened Humalog insulin pen was observed in the top left
drawer of MC 1. The insulin pen was placed in an individual clear plastic bag with a blue sticker that
indicated, Refrigerate Until Opened. LVN 5 stated the insulin pen label indicated a sent date of 2/11/2026
and was most likely delivered by the pharmacy late in the evening of 2/11/2026 or early morning on
2/12/2026. LVN 5 stated the insulin pen was new and unused and should have been refrigerated after it
was delivered. LVN 5 stated unused insulin can become ineffective which could cause the residents' blood
sugar level to remain high or out of range if it is not stored in the refrigerator.
to 4. During the same concurrent medication inspection and interview on 2/12/2026, at 12:09 PM, of MC 1,
with LVN 5, the following medications were observed in the bottom right drawer of MC 1:
One box of Ipratropium-Albuterol solution which contained an open foil packet with four plastic ampules of
Ipratropium-Albuterol solution inside. The foil packet had a yellow date opened sticker on the back which
was dated 2/1/2026. The label on the Ipratropium-Albuterol Solution box indicated an expiration date of 7
days after the open date.
One box of Ipratropium-Albuterol solution that contained an open foil packet with four plastic ampules of
Ipratropium-Albuterol solution inside. The foil packet had a yellow date opened sticker on the back which
was not dated.
One box of Albuterol Sulfate solution which contained an open foil packet of four plastic ampules of
Albuterol Sulfate solution inside. The foil packet had a white date opened sticker on the back which was
dated 1/27/2026. The label on the Albuterol Sulfate box indicated an expiration date of 2 weeks after the foil
was opened.

stated new and unused insulin should always be stored in the refrigerator. The ADON stated it was the
responsibility of the licensed staff receiving the insulin to place the insulin in the refrigerator. The ADON
stated expired medications should immediately be discarded and not kept in the medication carts. The
ADON stated administering expired medications could affect the efficacy of the medications and will not be
effective. The ADON stated it was important to date the medications once they are opened and to follow the
expiration dates on the medication boxes.

Residents Affected - Some
syringes were expired for two (2) months. The needles might be dull or can cause possible reactions to the
residents. Sterility was questionable because it was beyond expiration date.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:15 PM with ADON in the Medication

ADON stated the alcohol pads will not be effective anymore, it will not be able to clean the injection site
because they were expired.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:20 PM with ADON in the Medication
Storage Room, there were 5-gallon size bags of expired needles and syringes with expiration dates of
7/31/2025 and 6/28/2025. ADON stated the staff were supposed to be cleaning the medication storage
room and also should be checking the expiration dates before using the supply. Using expired supplies can
possibly injure the residents or can cause infection because the staff does not know if they were still good
to use.
During a review of facility's P&P titled, Medication Storage/ Labeling, dated 7/2025, the P&P indicated the
facility stores all medications and biologicals in locked compartments under proper temperature, humidity

Provide routine and 24-hour emergency dental care for each resident.
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 promptly provide dental services for one (1) of
1 sampled resident (Resident 3) reviewed for dental care as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 3's inability to effectively chew food, weight
loss, discomfort, and develop infection in the oral cavity.Findings:During a review of Resident 3's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted
on [DATE]. The admission record indicated Resident 3's diagnoses included spinal stenosis (happens when
the space inside the backbone is too small) lumbar (lower back bone) region, peripheral vascular disease
(reduced circulation of blood to arms or legs due to a narrowed or blocked blood vessel), and diabetes
mellitus (DM, is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose levels) During a
review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/26/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 3 had intact cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 3 needed partial/ moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort, helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs but provides
less than half the effort) in lower body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, sit to lying,
lying-to-sitting on the side of the bed, sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/
shower transfer and walk 10 feet. During a review of Resident 3's Physician's Orders (PO), dated 7/8/2025,
the PO indicated Resident 3 may have dental consultations and treatment as indicated. During an
observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 8:38AM inside Resident 3's room, Resident 3 was observed
awake and was lying in bed. Resident 3 stated the dentist came in to see him last year and took pictures
but did not come back. Resident 3 told the dentist that he has broken teeth buried in his upper gums and
food was getting stuck inside when he eats. Resident 3 stated it hurts him sometimes. Resident 3 was
observed to have 2 to 3 teeth in the upper part and 6 to 8 teeth in lower part of his mouth. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 2:32 PM with Director of Social Services (DSS), the
Dental Notes (DN) dated 10/22/2025 was reviewed. The DN indicated, tooth 8 X-rays (uses invisible
electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital
media). DSS stated that Dentist also came to the facility on 11/2025 and 1/2026 but did not check Resident
3. DSS also stated she did not have documentation regarding the dental visits for Resident 3 on
10/22/2025. DSS stated she only documents when there were special procedures and referrals done for
the residents. DSS stated the DN had incomplete documentation because it was missing the information
about Resident 3's teeth concerns. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 2:39
PM with DSS, the Nurses' Progress Notes (NPN) dated 9/3/2025 to 11/2/2025 were reviewed. The NPN did
not indicate any dental visits for Resident 3. DSS stated we should document dental visits because the
notes will explain everything that had happened during the Resident's dental visit and we can follow up if
there were concerns. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 2:39 PM with DSS,
the Social Services Notes (SSN) dated 9/3/2025 to 11/2/2025 were reviewed. SSD Notes did not have a
documentation regarding dental visits for Resident 3. DSS stated since there was no documentation
regarding Resident 3's dental visits, the facility may not be able to do a follow up dental appointment
because it is not known if there were concerns, especially since the dental report provided to the facility
was incomplete. SSD stated the facility should have documented and assisted a dental follow-up visit for
Resident 3 to avoid infection when food gets inside his teeth. During review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Availability of Services, Dental updated on 1/1/2026, the
Residents Affected - Few

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper food handling
practices and maintain the food service area in a clean and sanitary manner in accordance with the
facility's policies and procedures (P&P) by failing to ensure:1. All personnels in the kitchen wore hair and or
beard nets.2. Multiple food items were stored in a manner that prevents foodborne illness (illness that
comes from eating contaminated food) for residents.3. Staff personal items were not placed inside the
kitchen refrigerator. 4. Kitchen staff did not touch the rim of multiple glasses of water with bare hands during
tray line preparation. These deficient practices have the potential to result in foodborne illness in a
population of 80 residents who consume the food prepared by the facility every day.Findings:1. During an
observation on 2/9/2026 at 7:35 AM, [NAME] 1 (CK 1) was observed without a hair net and was wearing a

2/9/2026 at 8:11 AM, the Dietary Service Supervisor (DSS) was seen without a beard net, exposing his
facial hair. DSS stated hair and beard nets should be used inside the kitchen to keep hair out of the food
and prevent food contamination. During a tray line (behind the scenes check on how the facility kitchen staff
prepare meal trays) observation on 2/11/2026 at 12:08 PM, Dietary Service Aid 1 (DSA 1) was seen
without a hair net and was wearing a hat with his hair exposed at the back of his head while preparing rice
soups for the residents. During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 3:18 PM, DSA 1 stated hair nets are used to
prevent the hair from falling on the residents' food and contaminate the food. DSA 1 also stated he thought
wearing only a hat without a hair net was acceptable. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure
(P&P) titled, Hair Net, dated on 7/2025, the P&P indicated that the facility would enforce strict hair restraint
standards to prevent food contamination. The P&P also indicated that all food service personnel, including
cooks, dietary aides, and dishwashers must wear effective hair restraints when preparing, handling, or
serving non prepackaged food or clean utensils. The P&P further indicated that staff with beards or
mustaches that are not closely cropped and neatly trimmed must wear a beard net or restraint. The P&P
also indicated that restraints must be put on before entering the kitchen area and the dietary manager or
designee would perform daily sanitation inspection to ensure all staff adhere to proper attire and hair
restraint standards. 2. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 7:40 AM, a beef patty box was observed inside
refrigerator #2 without a use by date on the box. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 7:48 AM in freezer

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain accurate medical records for one of
18 sampled residents (Resident 2) in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P).This
deficient practice had the potential to result in miscommunication, improper delivery of wound management
and inaccurate information of the care provided, which could result in skin breakdown to Resident 2.
Findings:During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM, a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), bipolar disorder (sometimes
called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods
of emotional highs), and depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of
interest in life) . During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report
indicated Resident 2 may have a low air loss mattress (LALM, designed to distribute the resident's body

ordered 1/9/2026. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool),
dated 1/14/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had severely impaired cognitive (mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding ) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 2
needed partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for eating, oral and personal
hygiene, and dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting, self-showering/bathing and lower body
dressing. The MDS also indicated Resident 2 had two (2) stage one pressure ulcers (intact skin that is
discolored and does not turn white [blanch] when pressed) and one stage 3 pressure ulcer with treatments
of a pressure reducing device for bed and pressure ulcer/injury care. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at
8:18 AM at Resident 2's bedside, Resident 2 was observed lying in bed with a low air loss pump at the foot
of the bed, powered off. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 12:30 PM with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) at Resident 2's bedside, Resident 2's bed was observed without a
LALM. A low air loss pump that was powered off was observed at the foot of Resident 2's bed. LVN 3 stated
the current mattress on Resident 2's bed was a regular mattress, not a LALM and the last time he saw
Resident 3 with a LALM on her bed was on 2/7/2026. LVN 3 stated per the MD order, Resident 2 should
have a LALM and all nurses should be checking to make sure it is on and working. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 1:57 PM with the Treatment Nurse 2 (TN 2), Resident 2's
Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated 2/1/2026 through 2/28/2026, the TAR indicated a LALM was
provided on 2/10/2026 to Resident 2. TN 2 stated she documented on the TAR that Resident 2 had a LALM
but Resident 2 did not have a LALM so the documentation was not accurate. TN 2 stated it was important
to document accurately so staff know what care or services were provided to the resident. TN 2 stated
without accurate documentation, Resident 2 may not receive the LALM which could negatively affect how
her wound progressed. During a review of the facility's policy titled, Skilled Nursing Facility Policy: Clinical
Documentation and Charting (including TAR Charting - California, dated 1/1/2025, the policy indicated the
facility maintains complete, accurate, timely, legible and authenticated health records for each resident and
all documentation reflects assessments, orders, interventions, resident response and outcomes. The policy
also indicated TAR documentation to be done after completing the treatment; never pre-chart.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the standard infection prevention
control practices (a set of practices that prevent or stop the spread of infections and or diseases in the
healthcare setting) in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure when:1.a Licensed Vocational
Nurse 2 (LVN 2) failed to change gloves and perform hand hygiene during medication administration to
Resident 2.1.b LVN 3 failed to sanitize medication tray (equipment includes durable plastic, divided trays
designed to organize, transport, and dispensing pills and syringes in clinical or home settings) after putting
in the dirty lancet (a small, disposable, double-edged needle or blade used to prick the skin-usually on the
finger-to obtain a tiny blood sample for checking blood sugar levels) and failed to perform hand hygiene in
between tasks during medication administration to Resident 2.2. The facility failed to ensure the facility
linens (bed sheets, pillowcases and blankets) were washed and dried at the appropriate temperatures and
time lengths, as indicated in the facility's policies. These deficient practices have potential to contaminate
clean items and can place the residents at risk for infection. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1.a During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]with the diagnoses that included encephalopathy (a disturbance of brain
function), diabetes mellitus (DM, is a metabolic disease, involving inappropriately elevated blood glucose
levels) and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/14/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 3 had severely impaired cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent
(helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) in toileting hygiene,
shower/ bathe self, lower body dressing, putting on / taking off footwear, sit-to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair
transfer, toilet transfer, tub/ shower transfer, car transfer, walk 10, 50 and 150 feet.
During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 4:24 PM with LVN 2 in the hallway near the nurse station, Resident
2 was sitting in the wheelchair facing the nurse station. LVN 2 was wearing a glove while placing the
medications into Resident 2's mouth when one (1) medication fell and rolled onto the floor. LVN 2 picked up
the medication tablet from the floor and discarded the medication in the biohazard container. LVN 2 then
dispensed another medication from medication cart into the medicine cup without changing her (LVN 2)
disposable gloves, picked up the medication from the medicine cup and put the medication inside Resident
2's mouth.
During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 4:27 PM with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated she picked up the medication on the
floor, wasted it, and replaced it with a new one. LVN 2 stated she forgot to change her gloves, and it is
considered dirty. LVN 2 stated she should have removed the dirty gloves, performed hand hygiene before
putting on a new pair of gloves and before administering the new medication because Resident 2 might get
an infection.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:30 PM with Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), IPN stated when LVN
2 picked up medication from the floor, LVN 2 should have changed her (LVN 2) gloves, and perform hand
hygiene before getting/ preparing the new medication for Resident 2. IPN also stated if LVN 2 did not
change her (LVN 2) gloves and put the medication inside Resident 2's mouth, then Resident 2 could get
sick from the bacteria on the floor.

1.b During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 9:32 AM with LVN 3 inside Resident 2's room, LVN 3 checked
Resident 2's blood sugar and discarded the dirty lancet inside the medication tray. LVN 3 then used the
same medication tray to store the medicine cups without sanitizing the medication tray during medication
preparation.
During an observation on 2/11/2026 at 9:34 AM with LVN 3 in the hallway, LVN 3 picked up medication cup
on floor with his bare hands and threw it away in the trashcan. LVN 3 then started to prepare Resident 2's
medication without performing hand hygiene.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:20 PM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated he did put the dirty/ used lancet in
the medication tray and did not sanitize the medication tray after LVN 3 checked Resident 2's blood sugar.
LVN 3 did not clean the medication tray before putting the medicine cups with Resident 2's medications.
LVN 3 stated they should clean the medication tray because it was dirty and for infection control.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:45 PM with IPN, IPN stated LVN 3 should have disinfected the
medication tray before putting in the medicine cups with Resident 2's medications. LVN 3 should have done
hand hygiene after picking up anything on the floor and before preparing the medication of the resident
because Resident 2 can get exposed to bacteria.
During review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Hand washing/ Hand Hygiene updated on
1/2025, the P&P indicated, this facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of
healthcare-associated infections. The P&P also indicated all personnel are expected to adhere to hand
hygiene policies and practices to help prevent the spread of infections to other personnel, residents, and
visitors. The P&P indicated hand hygiene is indicated after contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated
surfaces.

select. MTD stated the formula/card number means the cycle number on the washer machine and the
poster is used by laundry staff to determine the appropriate cycle number based off linen types indicated
on the chart.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2026 at 1:02 PM with the MTD and LS 1 in the
facility's laundry room, LS 1 was observed loading Washer Machine 1 with colored linen, set on cycle 3 and
then started. LS 1 was then observed loading Washer Machine 2 with white linens, set on cycle 1 and then
started the washer cycle. LS 1 was unable to state the water temperatures for the washer cycles 1 and 3.
MTD was unable to state the set temperatures for cycles 1 and 3 and further stated the cycle temperatures
were already programmed in the washer machines settings.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 12:22 PM with the MTD, the facility's
document titled Automated Laundry Systems, undated, was reviewed. The document indicated the
recommended washer machine temperatures of 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for cycles 1 and 2 and
85 to 105 degrees F for wash cycles 3 through 6. The document also indicated a Brand 2 recommended
temperatures of 120 to 140 degrees F for white and heavy soiled colorfast items, 85 to 105 degrees F most
loads and 65 to 75 degrees F for very bright colored linens with light soil only and water below 65 degrees
is not recommended for washing. The MTD stated Brand 2 is the supplier of the washer machine and the
recommended temperatures on this document are the temperatures that were set for cycle number for the
facility Washer Machines 1 and 2.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 12:30 PM with the MTD, the facility's
policy titled Washer and Dryer, dated 1/2025, was reviewed. The policy indicated the purpose of the policy
for laundry is to align with federal standards and linens should be exposed to water at a minimum of 160
degrees F for at least 24 minutes during the wash cycle to ensure disinfection with the standard hot water
method. The MTD stated the facility washer machines use standard hot water method and per facility policy,
the washer cycles 1 through 6 do not meet the minimum temperature requirement of 160 degrees F. MTD
added the washer machine temperatures should follow the current facility policy for Washer and Dryer to
make sure linens are cleaned and disinfected.
During a continuous concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2026 from 1:05 PM to 1:50 PM with LS
1, MTD and the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), in the facility's laundry area, LS 1 was observed loading the
Dryer 1 with white linen and Dryer 2 with colored linen, then started the drying cycle for Dryers 1 and 2. LS
1 stated Dryer 1 contained sheets and pillowcases and Dryer 2 contained blankets. LS 1 stated he monitors
the dryer temperatures by a gauge located outside of the drying machines to make sure the temperature
reached 180 degrees F.
During the same observation and interview on 2/11/2026 from 1:05 PM to 1:50 PM with LS 1, the MTD and
MS, in the facility's laundry area, Dryer 1's load cycle was observed running at a temperature of 160
degrees F from 1:34 PM to 1:41 PM (7 minutes) and Dryer 2's load cycle ran at a temperature of 150
degrees F from 1:31 PM to 1:43 PM (12 minutes). LS 1 was observed removing the linens from Dryers 1

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement their protocol for Antibiotic Stewardship (the
ongoing effort by a provider and clinical caregivers to optimize and minimize the use of antimicrobial
medicines) for one (1) of two sampled residents (Resident 72), after being prescribed an antibiotic (drug
used to prevent and treat bacterial infections) without meeting the criteria for cellulitis (bacterial skin
infection that may appear as a red, swollen area, feeling hot and tender to the touch), soft tissue or wound
infection. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 72 to develop antibiotic resistance (when
bacteria change so antibiotic medicines cannot kill them or stop their growth) from unnecessary or
inappropriate antibiotic use.Findings:During a review of Resident 72's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated Resident 72 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
fusion of the spine (a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae [a small bone in
the spine] in the spine), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing
difficulty in breathing), and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 72's Minimum Data Set (MDS a resident assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 72 with intact cognitive (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also
indicated Resident 72 was set up or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes
activity) with eating and oral hygiene and supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues
and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with toileting and
personal hygiene and showering/bathing self. During a review of Resident 72's Weekly Non-Pressure Skin
Condition Record, dated 12/4/2025, the Weekly Non-Pressure Skin Condition Record indicated Resident
72 had a non-pressure chronic ulcer (open wound) on the resident's right hip that was progressing
positively with less drainage noted and a weekly debridement (a medical procedure to remove dead,
damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to promote healing and prevent infection) was being completed
and tolerated without complications. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 2:43
PM with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), Resident 72's Surveillance Data (ongoing, systematic
collection, analysis, and interpretation of health-related information-such as infection rates, symptom
tracking, and resident outcomes-to monitor trends, detect outbreaks early, and guide public health actions)
Collection Form, dated 12/4/2025 was reviewed. The Surveillance Data Collection Form indicated Resident
72 met one criteria of the required four (at minimum) for the use of antibiotic for cellulitis, soft tissue or
wound infection. The form did not have documented evidence that a wound culture (laboratory test that
identifies bacteria, fungi, or viruses causing an infection in a wound) was collected and that the doctor was
notified that criteria were not met for antibiotic use. The Surveillance Data Collection Form also indicated a
treatment of Bactrim DS (a double-strength antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) to start on 12/5/2025
for 10 days for delayed wound healing. IPN stated Resident 72 did not meet the criteria to qualify for the
need of the Bactrim DS because only 1 of four (4) criteria were met and that IPN should have notified the
doctor to inform but the doctor that Resident 72 did not meet the criteria for antibiotic use. During a
continued concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 around 2:50 PM with the IPN, Resident
72's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 12/1/2025 through 12/31/2025 was reviewed. The
MAR indicated Resident 72 was administered Bactrim DS 1 tablet oral twice a day from 12/5/2025 to
12/15/2025. IPN stated Resident 72 completed the antibiotic treatment for 10 days. During a continued

to consistently identify infections based on clinical signs, symptoms, and laboratory results) was used
during antibiotic surveillance to ensure the antibiotics ordered are necessary, and when the criteria is not
met, the doctor should be notified. IPN also stated it was important to follow the McGreer criteria and notify
the doctor to prevent residents from having Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDROs- microorganisms
[primarily bacteria] that have developed resistance to many antibiotics) and to ensure residents do not
become antibiotic resistant, making any future infection harder to treat. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at
2:15 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated it was important to ensure antibiotic
stewardship is completed to ensure residents receiving antibiotics are necessary treatments, to prevent
unnecessary medications usage and to prevent residents from experiencing unnecessary side effects from
the antibiotics like diarrhea (frequent or uncontrollable bowel movements that may be soft, loose, or watery)
and antibiotic resistance that could lead to other infections. During a review of the facility's policy titled
Antibiotic Stewardship- Staff and Clinician Training and Roles, (undated), the policy indicated the Infection
Preventionist will monitor individual resident antibiotic regimens, including reviewing clinical documentation
supporting antibiotic orders and that staff will be educated about the facility's antibiotic stewardship
program including appropriate prescribing, monitoring, and surveillance of antibiotic use and outcomes.
During a review of the facility's policy titled Policy on Unnecessary Medications, dated 7/2025, the policy
indicated:The policy purpose to prevent the use of unnecessary medications, including psychotropic drugs,
antibiotics, and other medications without adequate clinical indication, and to ensure appropriate monitoring
and gradual dose reduction when required.All medications shall be prescribed, administered, monitored,
and reviewed in accordance with California law, federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
regulations, and accepted clinical standards to promote resident safety, quality of life, and optimal
outcomes. Antibiotics shall be prescribed only when clinically indicated, diagnostic criteria and culture
results shall support use when applicable and antibiotic use shall be monitored as part of the facility's
stewardship program.The policy applied to all licensed nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician
assistants, consultant pharmacists, and all staff involved in medication administration, monitoring, and
documentation.

(VIS- information sheets produced by the Center of Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] that explain both
the benefits and risks of a vaccine [medications used to prevent diseases usually given by injection or by
mouth] to vaccine recipients) for influenza (the flu- a contagious respiratory virus) and pneumococcal (a
serious, often fatal infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria) vaccinations per facility policy.
This failure had the potential for Residents 72 and 4 (or their responsible party [RP]) to accept or decline
the influenza and/or pneumococcal vaccinations without the proper understanding of risks and benefits to
make an informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving
education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered).Findings:1. During a review of Resident
72's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 72 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fusion of the spine (a surgical procedure that permanently connects
two or more vertebrae [a small bone in the spine] in the spine), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), and difficulty in walking. During a review of
Resident 72's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS

assistance as resident completes activity) and with toileting and personal hygiene and showering/bathing
self. During a review of Resident 72's physical medical charts dated from 8/1/2025 to 2/11/2026, the
medical chart did not indicate documentation that Resident 72 was provided education or a VIS form
regarding the influenza vaccine. During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 10:32 AM with the Infection
Preventionist Nurse (IPN), IPN stated the facility protocol is to provide the residents and/or RP with VIS
forms to educate the residents or the resident's RP on the risks and benefits and then let them decide if
they consent to or will decline the offered influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. IPN also stated per
facility protocol, once the VIS form is provided, it would be documented in the resident's electronic medical
chart under the immunizations section or documented in a progress note. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 2/11/2026 at 10:39 AM with the IPN, Resident 72's electronic medical record, from
8/1/2025 to 2/11/2026 and Resident 72's Vaccine Consent Form, dated 10/1/2026, were reviewed. The
electronic medical chart and the Vaccine Consent Form both did not indicate Resident 72 was provided
with education or VIS form for influenza vaccine, prior to obtaining the consent for the flu and
pneumococcal vaccine. IPN stated there was no documentation in the medical record or on the consent to
ensure Resident 72 was provided education or a VIS form for the influenza vaccination and there should be
documentation that it was provided, so it was not done. 2. During a review of Resident 4's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
that included acute (sudden) and chronic (long lasting) respiratory failure (condition in which not enough
oxygen passes from the lungs into the blood), COPD and depression (mood disorder that causes a
persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in life). During a review of Resident 4's MDS, dated
[DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 4 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The
MDS also indicated Resident 4 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with

with oral and personal hygiene and supervision or touching assistance with eating. During a review of
Resident 4's physical medical charts dated from 7/4/2025 to 2/11/2026, the medical chart did not indicate
documentation that Resident 4's RP was provided education or a VIS form regarding the influenza and
pneumococcal vaccines. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 10:48 AM with
IPN, Resident 4's electronic medical record, from 7/4/2025 to 2/11/2026 and Resident 4's Vaccine Consent
Form, (undated), were reviewed. The electronic medical record and the Vaccine Consent Form both did not
indicate Resident 4 and/or the RP were provided a VIS form for the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.
IPN stated there is no documentation in Resident 4's medical record or the consent form regarding any
provided education or VIS forms for the pneumococcal and flu vaccine and there should be documentation
if provided. During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 10:59 AM with IPN, IPN stated it was important to ensure
residents and/or the RP are provided education and the VIS forms regarding offered vaccines (influenza
and pneumococcal) to ensure family/residents are educated for their own understanding of what they are
receiving, to know the side effects, and to help with their (the resident or RP) decision to consent of decline
the vaccine. The IPN also stated that without ensuring the residents/family are provided education and the
VIS forms, the facility cannot ensure family/residents are fully informed of the offered vaccinations. During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Influenza Vaccination Program, dated 2/2026, the
P&P indicated the purpose of the vaccination program is to prevent transmission of disease within the
facility and to provide qualified residents the opportunity to receive the influenza vaccine while at the facility.
The P&P also indicated the influenza vaccine will be offered October through March and for staff to provide
the Resident with the appropriate Vaccine Information Sheet before obtaining a consent from the resident
or representative. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Pneumococcal Vaccination Program, dated
2/2026, the P&P indicated the purpose of the vaccination program is to prevent transmission of disease
within the facility and to provide qualified residents the opportunity to receive the pneumococcal vaccine
while at the facility and for staff to provide the Resident with the appropriate Vaccine Information Sheet
before obtaining a consent from the resident or representative. During a review of the facility P&P titled
Vaccination Program, (undated), the P&P indicated the policy purpose of recognizing the major impact and
mortality of both influenza, pneumococcal and Covid- 19 disease (a highly contagious respiratory illness
caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) on the elderly and other individuals at risk and the effectiveness of
vaccines for reducing health care costs and in preventing illness, hospitalization, and death. The P&P also
indicated to provide the resident (RP) with a VIS prior to the consenting and/or administering of the
influenza, pneumococcal and/or Covid vaccinations.

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two (2) of five (5) sampled residents (Residents 72
and 4), in the infection control care area, were provided education or a Vaccine Information Statements
(VIS- information sheets produced by the Center of Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] that explain both
the benefits and risks of a vaccine [medications used to prevent diseases usually given by injection or by
mouth] to vaccine recipients) for the Covid-19 (a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the
SARS-CoV-2 virus) vaccine per the facility's policy and procedure. This failure had the potential for
Residents 72 and 4 (or their responsible party [RP]) to accept or decline the Covid-19 vaccine without the
proper understanding of risks and benefits to make an informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept
treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives
offered).Findings:1. During a review of Resident 72's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
Resident 72 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fusion of the
spine (a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae [a small bone in the spine] in
the spine), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing), and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 72's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident
assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 72 has intact cognitive skills (ability to
understand and make decisions) for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 72 was
assessed to need set up or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity)
with eating and oral hygiene and supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) and with toileting and
personal hygiene and showering/bathing self. During a review of Resident 72's physical medical charts
dated from 8/1/2025 to 2/11/2026, the medical chart did not indicate documentation that Resident 72 was

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure 10 of 36 rooms (17, 42, 42, 44, 51, 52,
53, 54, 62, and 63) met the requirement of 80 square feet (sq. ft.) for each resident in multiple resident
rooms.This deficient practice had the potential to affect the residents' personal space, decrease freedom of
mobility and could compromise the provision of care.Findings:During observation of the facility and
Resident's rooms from 2/9/2026 to 2/12/2026, Rooms 17, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, 54, 62, and 63 did not
meet the minimum requirement of 80 sq. ft. per resident in multiple residents' rooms.During an interview on
02/11/2026, at 4:22 PM, with Resident 38, Resident 38 stated he was comfortable in his room. Resident 38
stated he had space for his belongings and his wheelchair. Resident 38 stated staff were able to move
around his bed when they provided care.During a review of the facility's Client Accommodations Analysis
form, dated 2/10/2026, the facility's Client Accommodations Analysis indicated the facility had several
rooms that measured less than the required 80 sq. ft. per resident in multiple bedrooms. The following
resident bedrooms were:room [ROOM NUMBER] (2 beds) and measured 153.28 sq. ft., to equal 76.64 sq.
ft. per Residentroom [ROOM NUMBER] (4 beds) and measured 319.88 sq. ft., to equal 79.97 sq. ft. per
residentroom [ROOM NUMBER] (4 beds) and measured 312.47 sq. ft., to equal 78.11 sq. ft. per
residentroom [ROOM NUMBER] (4 beds) and measured 313.99 sq. ft., to equal 78.5 sq. ft. per
residentroom [ROOM NUMBER] (4 beds) and measured 316.25 sq. ft., to equal 79.06 sq. ft. per

residing in the rooms (Rooms 17, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 63) with an application for variance were
observed to have enough space to move freely inside the rooms. Each Resident inside the affected rooms
had beds and side tables with drawers. There was an adequate room for the operation and use of
wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. The room variance did not affect the care and services provided to the
residents when nursing staff were observed providing care to these residents.The Department is
recommending approval of the room waiver request for 10 of 36 rooms (Rooms 17, 42, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53,
54, 62, and 63).
