**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain the resident's dignity for two of two
residents (Residents 75 and 80) by failing to:
a. Ensure facility staff provided privacy while putting on the undergarment and pants onto Resident 80 that
Resident 80 had removed.
b. Ensure facility staff provided privacy when providing peri-care to Resident 75.
These failures resulted in Residents 75 and 80's privacy not being maintained and Residents 75 and 80's
dignity not being protected.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 80's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility readmitted
Resident 80 to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (muscle
weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body), urinary tract infection (illness in any part of the
urinary tract), and cerebral atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in blood vessels of the brain).
During a review of Resident 80's History & Physical (H&P), dated 11/16/24, the H&P indicated Resident 80
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/8/24, the
MDS indicated Resident 80 was moderately cognitively impaired (ability to understand and process
thoughts), and required substantial/maximal assistance with chair/bed-to-chair transfer. The MDS indicated
Resident 80 was dependent on staff for showering/bathing, upper and lower body dressing, and personal
hygiene.
During an observation at 2/4/2025 at 11:40 a.m., Resident 80 was observed trying to get out of bed with
one of Resident 80's pant leg around Resident 80's left ankle and the other pant leg was off Resident 80's
other leg. Resident 80's genitalia was exposed, and pieces of Resident 80's incontinent pad were observed
under Resident 80, on the floor, and on Resident 80's bedside table. Resident 80 did not respond when
asked if Resident 80 knew how to use the call light for assistance. There was no privacy curtains observed
for Resident 80.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodation
of residents' needs for three of three sampled residents (Residents 20, 50, and 55) by failing to ensure the
resident's call light was always within reach.
These failures had the potential to result in residents to not receive care and a delay in services to meet the
residents' needs and could result in a fall or injury.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide care in accordance with professional
standards of practice for one of one sampled resident (Resident 292) by failing to turn and reposition
Resident 292 every two hours.
Residents Affected - Few
These failures had the potential for Resident 292 to develop pressure ulcers/bedsores (PU, injuries to the
skin and underlying tissue that are result of pressure on the skin for long periods of time).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 292's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 292 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia
(inability to move one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) affecting the
right side, dependence on dialysis (procedure that filters blood to remove waste and excess fluid when the
kidneys are not working), and peripheral vascular disease (PVD, occurs when the blood vessels become
narrow reducing blood flow to the arms and legs).
During a review of Resident 292's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 1/18/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 292 was able to make decisions
and was alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation.
During a review of Resident 292's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/24/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 292 was dependent on assistance for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
and rolling left and right. The MDS indicated Resident 292 was at risk for developing PU's.
During a review of Resident 292's untitled care plan (CP) dated 1/20/2025, the CP indicated Resident 292
was at risk for skin breakdown. The intervention was to turn and reposition Resident 292 every two hours.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 10:19 AM with Resident 292 in Resident
292's room, Resident 292 was lying on Resident 292's back in bed. Resident 292 stated staff do not turn
Resident 292 because it takes too long (to turn Resident 292).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/6/2025 at 8:47 AM, 9:59 AM, 10:47 AM, and 11:51 AM
Resident 292 was lying on Resident 292's back in bed. At 11:51 AM Resident 292 stated no one has turned
Resident 292.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 12:00 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated residents who spend majority of time in bed would need to be turned and repositioned every two
hours or as needed. The ADON stated residents who required dialysis are at a higher risk of skin
breakdown and would need to be turned and repositioned every two hours to promote blood circulation.
The ADON stated the risk of not turning and repositioning was putting the resident at risk of developing a
PU.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 12:22 PM with Certified Nursing Assistant 11 (CNA 11), CNA 11 stated
it was CNA 11's first time taking care of Resident 292 and CNA 11 was unfamiliar with Resident

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and services in accordance
with professional standards to prevent the development of pressure ulcers (PU, injuries to the skin and
underlying tissue that are result of pressure on the skin for long periods of time) for one of two sampled
residents (Resident 27) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
a. Ensure bilateral heel protectors were on Resident 27 per Medical Doctor (MD) order.
b. Ensure Resident 27's low air loss mattress (LAL, medical mattress designed to reduce pressure on the
skin to help prevent the development of PUs) was on the correct setting.
These failures had the potential for Resident 27 to develop a PU.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 27's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 27 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included peripheral
vascular disease (PVD, chronic condition that occurs when arteries narrow or block, reducing blood flow to
the arms and legs), paraplegia (inability to voluntarily move the lower parts of the body), and contracture of
muscles (muscle, tendons, joints, or other tissues tighten or shorten causing a deformity).
During a review of Resident 27's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk (BSPPSR) dated
10/1/2024 timed at 11:54 AM, the BSPPSR indicated Resident 27 was a high risk for developing a PU.
During a review of Resident 27's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 10/2/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 27 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 27's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 10/15/2024 and 12/13/2024, the
OSR indicated Resident 27 had an order for heel protectors when in bed as tolerated every shift and to
have a LAL mattress for PU management with settings based on the resident's current weight every.
During a review of Resident 27's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/8/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 27 had problems with short-term and long-term memory and was dependent
on staff for dressing the lower body and rolling left and right. The MDS indicated Resident 27 was at risk for
developing PUs.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 11:35 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) in Resident 27's room, the LAL mattress was set at 150 pounds (lbs, unit of measurement for
weight) and Resident 27 did not have heel protectors on Resident 27's bilateral feet. LVN 2 stated Resident
27 weighed 122 lbs and the LAL mattress was on the wrong setting. LVN 2 stated Resident 27 had an MD
order for heel protectors and LAL mattress to set per resident's weight. LVN 2 stated the risk of not having
the bilateral heel protectors on per MD order was that the resident could develop a deep tissue injury (DTI,
injury to the deeper layers of tissue under the skin caused by prolonged pressure on a bony area) on the
heels.

During an interview on 2/4/2025 at 12 PM with Treatment Nurse 2 (TN 2), TN 2 stated the setting for the
LAL mattress was not correct for Resident 27's weight. TN 2 stated the risk of having the LAL on the wrong
setting was that Resident 27 could develop a PU.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 12:02 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated LAL mattresses and heel protectors are used to prevent the development of a PU. The ADON stated
all nurses should be checking if the LAL mattress is working and on the correct setting. The ADON stated
the risk of not having the LAL mattress on the correct setting was that it could put added pressure of a
wound. The ADON stated if heel protectors are not the resident's feet on per MD order, the resident would
be at risk of developing a DTI because the bilateral heels were not offloaded (Offloading refers to
minimizing or removing weight placed on the foot to help prevent and heal ulcers).
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Wound Management, dated 10/1/2023,
the P&P indicated An assessment of care needs for PU will emphasize mechanical offloading and pressure

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. During a
review of Resident 43's AR, the AR indicated Resident 43 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic embolism and thrombosis (condition where
blood clots (thrombi) form in a vein, usually in the legs, and then break off, travel through the bloodstream,
and lodge in the lungs causing a long-term blockage) and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart
rate that commonly causes poor blood flow).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 43's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 43 had a severely
impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 43 required partial/moderate assistance (helper did less
than half the effort) with eating, toileting, shower and lower body dressing. Resident 43 was dependent
(helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 43's OSR dated 12/5/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 43 had an order for
Ipratropium Bromide Inhalation Solution (a medication used to treat respiratory conditions) via nebulizer (a
device for producing a fine spray of liquid) every four hours as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing
(high-pitched whistling sound that occurs when air moves through narrowed airways in the lungs) and
oxygen (a colorless, odorless gas) at 2 liters (L) via nasal cannula as needed for comfort.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 9:35 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 2
(CNA 2) inside Resident 43's room, Resident 43 had an inhalation tubing set on top of the bedside table.
CNA 2 stated the inhalation tubing set did not have a label when it was changed, and the tubing set was
not being used.
During an interview on 2/4/2025 at 10:20 am with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN 1), RN 1 stated, the
resident's inhalation tubing should be labeled with the date when it was changed and placed in a clear
plastic bag intended for respiratory supplies for infection control.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/5/2025 at 10:44 am with RN 1, Resident 43's Care
Plan (CP) were reviewed. RN 1 stated there was no care plan developed for Resident 43 on the use of
oxygen and inhalation treatment. RN 1 stated, a care plan should be developed to ensure staff provided
care and interventions specific for the resident.
During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 11:09 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, oxygen
and inhalation tubing should be labeled with the date when it was changed. The DON stated oxygen and
inhalation tubing should be kept inside the clear, plastic bag to keep it clean and to prevent
cross-contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object or
place to another). The DON stated care plan should be developed to communicate among staff the
interventions specific for the resident.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications through a
Small Volume (Handheld Nebulizer), revised 10/2010, the P&P indicated, The purpose of the procedure is
to safely and aseptically administer aerosolized particles of medication into the resident's airway. When
equipment is completely dry, store in a plastic bag with the resident's name and the date on it. Change the
equipment and tubing every seven days, or according to facility protocol.

c. During a review of Resident 24's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 24 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor
airflow) and chronic respiratory failure (a condition when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the
blood).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 24's Physician Order's, dated 10/14/2024, indicated to apply oxygen at three
(3) liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula every shift for shortness of breath.
During a review of Resident 24's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated, Resident 24 had severely
impaired cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 24 was dependent to staff for
oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and
personal hygiene.
During an observation on 2/4/2025 at 9:48 am, Resident 24 was asleep lying in bed with a nasal cannula
not placed in both nostrils. There was no sign posted on Resident 24's door indicating oxygen was in use in
the room or that smoking was prohibited.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 9:48 am, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1), Resident 24 was awake lying in bed. LVN 1 stated, there was no sign posted on Resident 24's
door indicating oxygen was in use in the room or that smoking was prohibited. LVN 1 stated a smoking sign
needed to be posted outside the resident's room to remind visitors or residents not to smoke inside the
room because oxygen can ignite and can cause fire.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 10:06 am, with Infection Prevention Nurse
(IPN, a healthcare professional who specializes in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare
settings), observed Resident 24's nasal cannula was not placed in both nostrils. The IPN stated, the nasal
cannula needed to be inside Resident 24's nostrils to receive the proper oxygen delivered that was ordered
by the medical doctor. The IPN stated, if the nasal prongs were not placed in both nostrils. Resident 24 was
getting less oxygen and oxygen saturation (a measurement of oxygen level carried in the blood) might go
down and can cause respiratory distress.
During an interview on 3/14/2024 at 9:56 a.m., with the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the
ADON stated the nasal cannulas needed to be inside the nostrils for Resident 24 to receive the oxygen
needed. The ADON stated, a smoking sign needed to be posted at the entrance door of the rooms of
residents receiving oxygen therapy to let the visitor and residents know not to smoke inside the residents'
room to avoid fire and for residents' safety.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Oxygen Administration, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P indicated, a
physician's order is required to initiate oxygen therapy. The order shall include the method of administration
(e.g. nasal cannula). The P&P indicated, oxygen tubing, humidifiers, masks and cannulas used to deliver
oxygen will be changed and labeled weekly and when visibly soiled. The P&P indicated, residents using
oxygen will have an Oxygen in Use sign placed on the door frame of their room. The P&P indicated no
smoking is allowed around oxygen therapy equipment.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's policy titled,
Oxygen Administration, for three of three sampled residents (Residents 24, 43 and 292) by failing to:

a. Ensure Resident 292's Nasal Cannula (NC, thin flexible tube that delivers oxygen through the nose)
tubing was dated.
b. Ensure Resident 43's inhalation tubing set was dated and create a care plan (CP) for oxygen use and
breathing treatments for Resident 43.
Residents Affected - Some
c. Place the NC in both nostrils for Resident 24 and post a no smoking sign outside of Resident 24's room
when Resident 24 required the use of oxygen.
These failures had to the potential for Residents 24, 43 and 292 to experience complications related to
oxygen therapy.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 292's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 292 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included respiratory failure
(occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood or remove carbon dioxide).
During a review of Resident 292's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient), dated 1/18/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 292 was able to make decisions,
alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation.
During a review of Resident 292's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/24/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 292 was dependent on assistance from staff for eating, rolling left and right,
and dressing the upper and lower body.
During a review of Resident 292's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 1/29/2025, the OSR indicated a
Medical Doctor (MD) ordered to change the NC every week on Sunday and as needed with the name and
date labeled.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/6/2025 at 9:52 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) in Resident 292's room, Resident 292's NC tubing was observed with no date. LVN 1 stated there
was no date on the NC tubing. LVN 1 stated the risk of not having the NC dated was that staff would not
know when the NC was last changed because the NCs need to be changed every Sunday.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 11:58 AM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated all connections of the oxygen tubing needs to be dated and changed every week on Sunday or as
needed. The ADON stated not dating NC tubing put the resident at risk for infection due to using
contaminated NC because staff would be unsure when the NC tubing was placed or when it was changed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, the P&P indicated
all oxygen tubing will be changed and labeled weekly and when visible soiled.

During an interview, on 2/5/25, at 10:44 a.m., Resident 140 complained of pain level 10/10 (pain scale
1-10- a numerical tool used to assess the intensity of pain) in the left side of Resident 140's abdomen.
Resident 140 stated the pain gets so bad it hurts when Resident 140 breathes. Resident 140 stated
Resident 140 was concerned about not being given pain medication each day between 8:45 a.m. and 12:45
p.m.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/6/25, at 11:37 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN 3), LVN 3 stated at 7 a.m. Resident 140 was complaining of pain and Resident 140's pain medication
was not due until 8:45 a.m. LVN 3 stated Resident 140 stated when Resident 140 started breathing it was
hurting so bad. LVN 3 stated LVN 3 did not document Resident 40's complaint in Resident 140's medical
record. LVN 3 stated LVN 3 explained to Resident 140 that Resident 140's pain medication was not due
until 8:45 a.m. and LVN 3 provided Resident 140's pain medication time/medication schedule to Resident
140. LVN 3 stated Resident 140 continued to complain of (c/o) pain level 9/10 in Resident 140's left
abdomen. LVN 3 stated about one hour and half later, Resident 140 continued to compliant of 9/10 pain in

documentation of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) were provided to Resident 140. LVN 3 stated,
You're right we should have that. LVN 3 stated non-pharmacological interventions were important because
Oxycodone is a narcotic and there is a risk for Residents to develop dependence to opioids. LVN 3 stated
sometimes, the residents stressed out when they are in a different place and not at home, so distraction
(IPIs) could help to decrease pain. LVN 3 stated it is important to provide NPIs to Resident 140 and
documented the IPNs in Resident 140's medical record.
During a record review of the facility's Policy & Procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotherapeutic Drug
Management, indicated the facility will utilize individualized, non-pharmacological approaches to care (e.g.,
purposeful and meaningful activities). Meaningful activities are those that address the resident's customary
routines, interest, preferences, and choices to enhance the resident's well-being.
During a record review of the facility's Policy & Procedure (P&P), titled, Pain Management, indicated the
facility is responsible for helping the resident attain or maintain their highest level of well-being while
working to prevent or manage the resident's pain. Nursing Staff will also utilize non-pharmacological
interventions by adjusting the resident's environment to reduce pain. The Licensed Nurse will document
resident's pain and response to interventions in the medical record on the weekly summary and as
indicated in the progress notes.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. During a
review of Resident 36's AR, the AR indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD, kidneys were damaged and could not filter blood
the way they should) and dependence on renal dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and
extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 36's OSR dated 12/16/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 36 had an order for
hemodialysis schedule on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The OSR indicated Resident 36 had a central
venous catheter (CVC, a thin, flexible tube inserted into a large vein in the chest used to provide vascular
access for hemodialysis) on the right upper chest for dialysis site.
During a review of Resident 36's Care Plan (CP) dated 12/16/2024, the CP indicated Resident 36 needed
hemodialysis on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The CP goal included Resident 36 would have
immediate intervention should any signs and symptoms of complications from dialysis occur.
During a review of Resident 36's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 36 had moderately
impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 36 was dependent (helper did all of the effort, resident did
none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body
dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 10:09 am with Registered Nurse Supervisor
1 (RN 1) inside Resident 36's room, RN 1 stated, Resident 36 had no Emergency Kit (E-kit) at bedside. RN
1 stated all dialysis residents needed to have an E-kit at bedside to be used in case of bleeding from the
dialysis access site.
During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 10:44 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, an E-kit
was needed to control bleeding from the dialysis access site if bleeding happened.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dialysis Care, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P
indicated, The Licensed Nurse will monitor the integrity of the catheter dressing every shift and reinforce the
dressing with tape as needed. The Licensed Nurse will inspect the catheter every shift for cracks, breaking
or leakage and notify the physician immediately if signs are present.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of three sampled
residents (Residents 36, 66 and 292) who received dialysis (process of removing waste products and
excess fluid from the body) had a dialysis emergency kit (E-kit) at the bedside in accordance with
standards of practice.
These failures had the potential to delay in emergency treatment from complications of the dialysis access
site for Residents 36, 66 and 292.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 292's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 292 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included end stage renal
disease (ESRD, final permanent stage of chronic kidney disease where the kidney function has declined to
the point kidneys can no longer function on its own) and dependence on renal

During a review of Resident 292's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/24/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 292 was dependent on assistance from staff for eating, rolling left and right.
The MDS indicated Resident 292 received hemodialysis (HD) treatment.
During a review of Resident 292's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/29/2025, the OSR indicated a
Medical Doctor (MD) order to reapply pressure dressing to left upper extremity (LUE) arteriovenous shunt
(AV shunt, surgical procedure that creates an artificial connection between an artery and a vein) as needed
if noted with bleeding.
During a review of Resident 292's untitled care plan (CP) dated 1/27/2025, the untitled CP indicated
Resident 292 required HD treatment. The goal was for Resident 292 to have immediate intervention should
any sign or symptoms of complications from dialysis occur (such as bleeding from the AV shunt).
b. During a review of Resident 66's AR, the AR indicated Resident 66 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included ESRD, and dependence on renal
dialysis.
During a review of Resident 66's H&P, dated 1/19/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 66 did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 66's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 66's cognitive abilities
(ability to think, learn, and process information) was severely impaired.
During a review of Resident 66's untitled CP, dated 12/22/2024, the untitled CP indicated for staff to place a
shunt clamp at the bedside for emergencies.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 11:52 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor
1 (RN 1) in Resident 292 and 66's rooms, a dialysis ekit was observed to not be at the bedside for
Residents 292 and 66. RN 1 stated there was no ekit at bedside for Residents 292 and 66. RN 1 stated
there should be an ekit at bedside. RN 1 stated the risk of not having an ekit was that there could be
bleeding from the dialysis site and no emergency supplies would be available to stop the bleeding.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 11:57 AM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated dialysis residents should have an ekit at the bedside. The ADON stated the ekit contains pressure
gauze for shunts and fistulas (surgical connection made between an artery and vein in the arm to allow
easy access to draw blood during dialysis) and clamps for tunneled catheters (thin, flexible tube that is
inserted into a vein and tunneled under the skin to administer medications, fluids, and blood products). The
ADON stated the risk of not having an ekit at the bedside was the risk of bleeding during an emergency.
The ADON stated an ekit would be considered as an immediate intervention as should be placed per CP.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its Policy and Procedure (P&P) on
the use of grab bars (bars installed on the side of the bed)/bed rails/side rails (adjustable metal or rigid
plastic bars attached to the bed) for two of two sampled residents (Residents 7 and 8).
These failures placed Residents 7 and 8 at risk for entrapment (an event in which resident was caught,
trapped, or entangled in the tight spaces around the bed), and injury from the use of grab bars.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 7's admission Records (AR), the AR indicated Resident 7 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included osteoporosis
(weak and brittle bones ), hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the
body) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness on one side of the body that can affect the arm, legs, and facial
muscles).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 11/22/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 7 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS
indicated Resident 7 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with oral
hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 9:42 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 3
(CNA 3) inside Resident 7's room, Resident 7 was trying to sit in a wheelchair. Resident 7 had grab bars up
on both sides of the bed. Resident 7 was not holding on to the grab bars while trying to sit in a wheelchair.
CNA 3 stated the grab bars were used as enabler for Resident 7's mobility. CNA 3 stated Resident 7 was
alert with periods of confusion.
b. During a review of Resident 8's AR, the AR indicated Resident 8 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included generalized muscle weakness (lack of
muscle strength), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and Alzheimer's disease
(disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 8's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 8 had moderately impaired
cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 8 required partial/moderate assistance (helper did less than half the
effort) with oral hygiene and dependent (helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to
complete the activity) with toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 9:17 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) inside Resident 8's room, Resident 8 was in bed, on her back with grab bars up on both sides of
the bed. LVN 1 stated the grab bars were used as enabler for Resident 8's bed mobility. LVN 1 stated
Resident 8 was alert with periods of confusion.

long-term and post-acute care facilities) were reviewed. RN 2 stated, there were no documented evidence
that appropriate alternative interventions were attempted and did not meet the needs of Residents 7 and 8
before the grab bars were installed. RN 2 stated there was no order from the attending physician and there
was no informed consent obtained before grab bars were installed for Residents 7 and 8. RN 2 stated
appropriate alternative interventions should be attempted before grab bars were installed for the safety of
Residents 7 and 8. RN 2 stated, an order and a consent should be obtained before the grab bars were
installed to ensure the resident understood and educated on the risks and benefits of using the grab bars.
During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 10:44 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the least
restrictive measures and appropriate alternative interventions should be attempted first and did not meet
the needs of the residents before grab bars would be installed because of its potential for entrapment and
injury to the resident. The DON stated, the use of grab bars needed a physician's order and consented
before its installation to make sure that risks and benefits of using grab bars were explained to the resident
and was understood. The DON stated, grab bars, bed rails and side rails belong to the same category.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Bed Rails, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P indicated, The Assessment
of whether to use bed rails should include an evaluation of the alternatives to the use of bed rail that were
attempted and how these alternatives failed to meet the resident's assessed needs. Alternatives that are
attempted should be appropriate for the resident, safe and address the medical conditions, symptoms or
behavior patterns for which bed a bed rail was considered. If a bed rail is used as an enabler, the
resident/resident representative's informed consent will be obtained by a licensed nurse or the physician.
The resident's plan of care will be updated to reflect the use of bed rails. The plan of care should also
include documentation of the type of specific direct monitoring and supervision provided during the use of
the bed rails and the identification of how needs will be met during the use of bed rails.

and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device
to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach) and pressure ulcer (localized damage to the
skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) of the sacral region.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 190's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 190 had a moderately
impaired cognition and was dependent (helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to
complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal
hygiene.
During a review of Resident 190's OSR dated 1/20/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 190 was placed on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions due to the g-tube/feeding tube (GT, a thin, flexible tube inserted through the
abdominal wall and into the stomach).
During a review of Resident 190's Care Plan (CP) dated 1/21/2025, the CP indicated Resident 190 required
EBP due to GT and wound. The CP interventions included staff and visitors to practice hand hygiene and
don applicable PPE during care.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of Resident 238's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated, Resident 238 had moderately impaired
cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/4/2025 at 9:41 a.m. while inside Resident 238's room
with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), Resident 238 had a midline IV catheter on the upper right arm. Resident
238's room did not have ESP signage posted outside the room and there was no cart for PPE observed
upon entering Resident 238's room.
During an interview on 2/4/2025 at 10:12 a.m. with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN, a healthcare
professional who specializes in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings), the IP stated
Resident 238 had a midline IV and wound. The IP stated, there should be signage posted and a PPE cart
placed outside Resident 238's room to notify staff, residents and visitors to wear the proper PPE before
entering the room and to protect the resident who is a high risk for infection, and for staff not to spread
infection to other residents.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement and follow infection
prevention procedures to prevent the transmission of infectious organisms for four of five sampled residents
(Residents 66, 190, 238 and 294 ) by failing to:
a. Post the correct isolation sign when an Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP, precautions that involve using
a glove and gown during high-contact resident care activity for residents who are colonized or infected with
an MDRO and those at a higher risk of developing an multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO, bacteria that
is resistant to many types of antibiotics], such as, residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices) sign
was observed to be posted outside of Resident 294's door on 2/4/2025 instead of a Contact Isolation (type
of isolation used with residents who have disease caused by bacteria and viruses that spread through
direct and indirect contact) sign for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE, type of MDRO that
cause infections that are difficult to treat and can cause outbreak in healthcare settings) and having a
roommate (Resident 295) who did not have an active or colonized infection of CRE.
b. Place a personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment that protects people from injury or illness in
hazardous environments) cart and post a Contact Isolation Sign outside of Resident 66's door on 2/5/2025
when Resident 66 had physician orders for Contact Precautions for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci
(VRE, type of bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics and can spread through contact with contaminated
surfaces or equipment, or from person to person) Enterococcus Bacteremia (serious infection where
enterococci [type of bacteria] invade the bloodstream) and was observed to have a roommate (Resident
293) who did not have an active or colonized infection of VRE.
c. Post an EBP sign outside of Resident 238's room.
d. Ensure Certified Nurse Assistant 3 (CNA 3) donned the required PPE when placing Resident 190 on
EBP in the Hoyer lift (lift used to safety transfer residents).
These failures had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection
from Residents 66, 190, 238 and 294 to other residents, staff and visitors.

to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included osteomyelitis (bone infection) of the right ankle and
foot, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL, an enzyme produce by some bacteria that destroy some
antibiotics making infections difficult to treat) resistance, and resistance to carbapenem (class of effective
antibiotics that treat severe bacterial infections).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 294's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient), dated 1/23/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 294 can make needs know but
cannot make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 294's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/28/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 294 required moderate assistance from staff for dressing the lower body and
used a wheelchair and walker.
During a review of Resident 294's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/23/2025, the OSR indicated
Resident 294 had a physician order for Contact Isolation for right foot osteomyelitis, MDRO, and CRE.
During a review of Resident 294's untitled care plan (CP), dated 1/23/2025, the untitled CP indicated
Resident 294 was admitted to the facility with multiple infections, such as, osteomyelitis of the right foot,
MDRO Klebsiella Pneumonia (bacteria that is highly resistant to antibiotics and can cause pneumonia,
bloodstream infections, and wound infections)/CR and indicated for staff to reduce expose to other
residents while an infection was active.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
stated there was no PPE cart and isolation sign posted outside of Resident 66's door. LVN 3 stated, It
should be placed per MD order. LVN 3 stated the risk of not placing the proper isolation sign and PPE cart
put the residents at risk for developing new infections or spreading it to other residents. LVN 3 stated
Resident 66 has a roommate (Resident 293) and Resident 293 did not have orders for contact isolation.
LVN 3 stated Resident 266 and 293 should have been separated. LVN 3 stated Resident 294 has a
roommate (Resident 295) and Resident 295 did not have orders for Contact Isolation. LVN 3 stated
Resident 294 has a bacterium for osteomyelitis and Resident 294 should be in a separate room. LVN 3
stated cohorting Residents 294 and 295 in the same room put both residents at risk for spreading
infections.
During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 9:13 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN 1), RN 1 stated there
was no isolation sign and PPE cart placed outside of Resident 66's door. RN 1 stated Resident 66 should
be in Contact Isolation per the physician order. RN 1 stated the risk of not have the proper signage and
PPE cart outside would put the residents at risk for cross contamination. RN 1 stated Resident 66 should
not have a roommate and stated Resident 293 did not have orders for Contact Isolation and should have
been chorted separately from Resident 66. RN 1 stated Resident 294 had osteomyelitis of the right foot and
stated Residents 294 and 295 should not be in the same room because Resident 295 did not have an
active infection for the same organism. RN 1 stated the risk of having a roommate in a Contact Isolation
room was that if the roommate got an open wound, the resident would be at risk of getting it.
During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 9:53 AM with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated the
wrong sign was posted outside of Resident 294's door. The IPN stated, It should be Contact Isolation for
right foot osteomyelitis. The IPN stated Resident 294 should not have a roommate. The IPN stated Resident
66 had a roommate and Resident 295 did not have an active infection for VRE bacteremia. The IPN stated
there was no isolation sign and PPE cart outside of Resident 66's door. The IPN stated residents would
need to have the same organism to be cohorted together. The IPN stated the risk of not cohorting correctly
was putting residents at risk for transmitting infectious organisms to others. The IPN stated the risk of not
having the correct sign or PPE cart outside of an isolation room was not ensuring staff are taking
preventing measure to protect the resident from transmitting infections to others.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 12:11 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated Residents 294 and 66 are on Contact Isolation precautions and the roommates do not have the
same organisms as Residents 294 and 66. The ADON stated cohorting residents without the same
organism put the roommate at risk for exposure of getting the organism. The ADON stated the risk of not
having a PPE cart and correct isolation sign was that staff would not be aware of the precaution and put
residents at risk for spreading it to others.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Isolation-Categories of
Transmission-Based Precautions, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P indicated Contact precautions are
implemented for residents known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that are transmitted by
direct contact with the resident or indirect contact with environment surfaces, care items, and the resident's
environment. The P&P indicated infections requiring Contact Precautions include infections or colonization
with MDRO organisms, such as, MRSA, VISA, VRSA, VRE and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae
(CRE).
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Personal Protective Equipment, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P
indicated for staff to ensure the availability of PPE as required.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
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 complete a Surveillance Data Collection form for one of 12
sampled residents (Resident 66) receiving antibiotics.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in increased antibiotic resistance and providing antibiotics
without justification.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 66's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 20 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included bacteremia
(presence of bacteria in the blood).
During a review of Resident 66's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 12/27/2024, the MDS indicated, Resident 66 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action
or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated,
Resident 66 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, shower,
upper/lower body dressing, putting on/off footwear and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 66's Physicians Order (PO) dated 1/28/2025, the PO indicated to administer
Daptomycin (Antibiotics, a substance used to kill bacteria and to treat infections) Intravenous Solution
Reconstituted, 350 milligram (unit of measurement) IV every 48 hours for Vancomycin Resistant
enterococci (VRE, a type of bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract that develop resistance to many
antibiotics, especially vancomycin) Enterococcus bacteremia until 2/8/2025.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 10:23 am with the facility's Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN a
healthcare professional who specializes in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings), the
IPN stated, she was unable to find Resident 66's Antibiotic Surveillance Form. The IPN stated, the form
needed to be filled out to make sure Resident 66 was screened before initiating antibiotic therapy to ensure
antibiotic use was appropriate and met the criteria for the provision of antibiotics. The IPN stated she was
out for vacation on 1/6/2025 to 2/3/2025 and did not know why the form was not filled out.
During an interview on 2/6/2025 at 10:23 am with the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the
facility's ADON stated antibiotic stewardship needed to be done to determine if the residents meet the
criteria before receiving antibiotic therapy.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Antibiotic Stewardship Program, dated
10/1/2023, the P&P indicated the antibiotic stewardship Program (ASP) was designed to promote the
appropriate use of antibiotics while optimizing the treatment of infections, and simultaneously reducing the
possible adverse events associated with antibiotic use. The P&P indicated, the IP will collect and analyze
infection surveillance data and monitor the adherence to the ASP.
