F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 25 sampled residents (Resident 29 and 87)'s Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment used to plan care) assessment reflected accurate information when the following was noted: 1.Resident 29's MDS assessment inaccurately indicated use of antianxiety medications (chemical agents used to treat anxiety disorder), when Resident 29 was not taking any.2. Resident 87's discharge MDS assessment inaccurately indicated Resident 87 was discharged to an acute care hospital, when Resident 87 went home. This failure resulted in inaccurate reflection of Resident 29's clinical status and discharge disposition for Resident 87. 1. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 10:15 a.m., Resident 29 was sitting up in her bed. Resident 29 stated she was paralyzed from her waist down and had adapted to do her self care with both arms. Resident 29 stated she enjoyed spending time with her plants, iPad and art activities such working with crystal beads. Residents Affected - Some During a record review of Resident 29's MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated, Resident 29 was able to understand others and make herself understood. Resident 29's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment for mental status) was 15 out of 15, indicating intact mental status. During an interview and record review on 9/9/25 at 2:58 p.m., with MDS Coordinator (MDSC 1), Resident 29's clinical record including MDS assessment dated [DATE], and Medication Administration Record dated 7/2025 were reviewed. MDSC 1 stated around 7/23/25, Resident 29 reported having anxiety, restlessness, lack of sleep to facility staff and stated that she was experiencing these symptoms for a month but did not tell anyone. MDSC 1 stated facility reported above to Resident 29's physician, who prescribed Hydroxyzine (antihistamine, a medication that is usually used to treat allergy symptoms). MDSC 1 stated Resident 29 was prescribed to take one tablet of Hydroxyzine 25 milligrams (mg) by mouth as needed for anxiety, restlessness for five days at bedtime and she received it from 7/23/25 through 7/27/25. MDSC 1 stated Resident 29's MDS assessment dated [DATE], hence indicated that she was taking Antianxiety medications within the seven (7) days look back period. MDSC 1 stated she checked drug classification for Hydroxyzine under Order Entry where it indicated Hydroxyzine HCl was an antianxiety agent. When asked if facility used an approved Drug book as a reference, MDSC 1 stated she would get back shortly. Resident 29's MDS assessment section N-Medications, under section N0415 indicated, check if the resident is taking any medications by pharmacological classification, not how it is used, during the last 7 days or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days. During an interview and record review on 9/9/25 at 3:30 p.m. with MDSC 1, facility's drug book titled Nursing Drug Handbook updated as of 2024 was reviewed. MDSC 1 stated on page 1238, the drug book indicated Hydroxyzine was used to relive symptoms of anxiety, pruritis and urticaria. MDSC 1 stated however, pharmacologic category for Hydroxyzine did not indicate if the medication belonged to Antianxiety classification. 2. During a record review, of Resident 87's admission Record printed on 9/9/25, the admission Record indicated Resident 87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a concurrent record review and interview on 09/10/25 at 1015am with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN2) , Resident 87's nursing progress notes from 7/18/25 through 7/30/25 were reviewed.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure three of 20 sampled residents (Resident 75, 76, and 77) had physician orders followed promptly. This failure resulted in Resident 77 not being treated for promptly for pitting edema (swollen part of the body due to excess watery fluid that dimple or pit up to four millimeters when it's pressed for a few seconds) on both lower extremities. This failure resulted in Resident 77 feeling tightness and pain in both legs and frustration. It had the potential for Resident 77's both legs' edema to get worsened and to suffer from edema related complications such as fluid overload (a medical condition with excessive accumulation of fluids in the body's tissue and organs). This failure to follow physician orders resulted in Resident 75 and 76 not having their weight and/or nutritional intake monitored, which had the potential to result in inaccurate treatment and/or monitoring. During a review of Resident 77's record, admission Record printed on 9/9/25, the record showed Resident 77 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Residents Affected - Some During a record review of Resident 77's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct care) dated 7/5/25, indicated Resident 77 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15, indicating intact mental status. During a concurrent observation and interview on 09/08/25 at 9:00 a.m., Resident 77 was sitting on the edge of his bed. Resident 77 stated he had swelling in both legs, no one had been treating it, it's painful and made him feel frustrated and uncomfortable. Resident 77 had grey colored loose fitted nonskid socks on both feet. During an observation on 09/09/25 at 12:35 p.m., Resident 77 was sitting in a wheelchair in his room, with non-skid socks on. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/9/25 at 10:51a.m., with MDS Coordinator (MDSC, a licensed nurse who completes residents' assessment), Resident 77's was lying in his bed with nonskid socks on. MDSC removed Resident 77's socks and stated Resident 77 had 3+ pitting edema (when pressed the dimple was about three millimeters deep) on right lower leg and 2+ pitting edema with a dimple of two millimeters) on left lower leg. MDSC stated she assisted Resident 77 to put the nonskid socks back on. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/9/25 at 11:45 a.m., with MDSC, Resident 77's electronic health record including physician orders dated 9/2025 were reviewed. MDSC stated the orders indicated to monitor Resident 77's edema in both lower extremities and to apply compression stockings (are medical devices that apply graduated pressure to the legs to improve circulation and reduce swelling) on both lower extremities during the day, removed at bedtime. During an interview, 09/10/25 at 1:33 p.m. Director of Nursing(DON) stated having edema for long time puts the resident at risk for fluid overload and related complications such as heart failure. The DON stated nurses were responsible to put compression stockings on Resident 77's lower extremities. During the review of the facility Policy and Procedures (P&P) title, Edema Management dated July 2025, the P&P showed, it is our facility policy to ensure that residents with edema are assessed , monitored, and treated with California Code of Regulations, (Title 22) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Federal Requirements for Long Term Care Facilities.

F 0684 maintain resident comfort, prevent complications, and promote optimal health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a record review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25, the admission Record indicates Resident 76 is a [AGE] year old man initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including unspecified protein calorie malnutrition and chronic kidney disease, stage 5 (also called end-stage renal disease, when kidneys have lost almost all ability to filter waste and fluids from the blood). Residents Affected - Some During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at 1:40 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), physician orders for Resident 76, dated 6/5/25 and 2/27/25, and facility's document titled Weights and Vitals Summary, dated 6/1/25 – 6/30/25, were reviewed. DON stated the documents indicate on 2/27/25, Medical Doctor (MD1) ordered to weigh Resident 76 every week. DON stated on 6/5/25, MD1 ordered to re-weigh Resident 76 to confirm weight gain. (See F842). DON stated the Weights and Vitals Summary shows that Resident 76 was weighed on 6/3/25 and not weighed again until 6/17/25. DON stated the order to reweigh the patient on 6/5/25 was not followed until 6/17/25 and this is not a reasonable time frame for the order to be followed. DON stated the risk of not repeating a weight for 12 days after it was ordered is that there is a potential risk for inaccurate nutrition evaluation. During a concurrent record review and interview on 9/11/25 at 1:19 pm with DON, physician order for Nepro (a nutritional supplement) 8 oz one time a day, monitor % intake dated 1/23/25 and Medication Administration Record (MAR, a document where medication and supplement administration are recorded), dated January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025, for Resident 76 were reviewed. DON stated the order to monitor Resident 76's intake of Nepro was not followed between 1/23/25 to 3/6/25. DON stated the risk of not recording intake is that the facility would not know how much Nepro resident is consuming, and the lack of knowledge means they would not know how to address. During a review of facility's document titled, admission Record, dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75, the admission Record indicated Resident 75 is a [AGE] year old woman initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including acute respiratory failure (when lungs cannot provide enough oxygen to the blood), unspecified protein calorie malnutrition, and muscle weakness. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/12/25 at 9:51 a.m. with DON, physician orders dated 1/29/25 and facility's document titled Weights and Vitals Summary dated 9/11/25 for Resident 75 were reviewed. DON stated the documents indicated that on 1/29/25, MD1 ordered that Resident 75 should be weighed weekly. DON stated weights were checked on 9/9/25, 9/3/25, and 8/18/25 and there was a 16-day gap in between the weights performed on 9/3/25 and 8/18/25. DON stated that the risk of not checking the residents weight weekly is not providing information to monitor the resident and to not be able to monitor for weight loss and status.

This failure placed the Resident 70 at risk for injury, entrapment, psychosocial harm, up to and including death.During a review of Resident 70's admission Record printed on 9/10/25, the record indicated Resident 70 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 70's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment used to plan care) assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated Resident 70's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was six out of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The assessment indicated Resident 70 had impairment in range of motion on both sides of her extremities and was dependent upon staff for activities of daily living, indicating Resident 70 had minimal strength to use her arms. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 11:25 a.m., Resident 70 was lying in her bed, with bedrails up on both sides of her bed. Both bedrails were padded with blue colored fabric cushion. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 12:13 a.m., Resident 70 was sitting up in the bed with the back of the bed raised, eating her lunch. Both bedrails were raised at the time. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 on 9/11/25 at 1:17 p.m., CNA 3 stated that she has been working in the facility for one year. CNA 3 stated Resident 70's bedrails were used because she was at risk for falls. CNA 3 stated Resident 70 did not use bedrails to prop herself up in bed. During an interview with CNA 4 on 9/11/25 at 1:28 p.m., CAN 4 stated she had known Resident 70 since her admission to the facility, and bedrails on Resident 70's bed were being used to avoid her from falling out of bed. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 3:45 p.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated she has been working with Resident 70 since she was admitted to the facility. CNA 2 stated that she did not know why Resident 70's bedrails are raised at all times. CNA 2 stated Resident 70 could pull on the rail for positioning during incontinence care, but it required staff's assistance to place her hands on the rail. During a phone interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 1 on 9/11/25 at 2:44 p.m., RN 1 stated Resident 70 was usually restless and was often found leaning on the bedrails. RN 1stated bedrails were always kept in the upright position. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 3:50 p.m. with RN 2, RN 2 stated the bedrails were kept up on Resident 70's bed as a safety precaution. RN 2 stated that she had not seen Resident 70 use the bedrails for support. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/11/25 at 2:48 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 70's Physician Orders, dated 8/20/24, were reviewed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain procedures to ensure accurate accountability and replacement of drugs in the emergency intravenous (IV) kit for 1 of 1 kits reviewed. This deficient practice resulted in the lack of documentation, missing medications, and failure to follow required procedures for notifying the pharmacy, which placed residents at risk of not having necessary emergency medications available when needed.During an observation on 09/08/2025 at 11:15 AM of the emergency IV kit, it was noted that the kit was missing normal saline. When asked when the kit was last opened, LVN 4 stated that typically a form is left inside the kit and faxed to the pharmacy; however, no such documentation was present. LVN 4 stated she could not determine when the kit had last been opened. During an interview 09/08/2025 at 12:00 PM Minimum Data Set Coordinator stated that she found the Emergency Drug Kit usage slip. She acknowledged that the policy was to change the kits within 72 hours once they are opened. A review of the Emergency Drug Kit usage slip dated 08/27/25 at 10:00 AM showed that 0.9% normal saline was removed for a resident. As of the survey observation on 09/08/25, this indicated the kit had been opened 12 days earlier. Despite being opened on 08/27/25, the facility failed to replace or properly document the emergency kit contents in accordance with policy, leaving the kit incomplete and unavailable for emergency use. According to facility policy titled 3.4 Emergency Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kits (E-Kits), emergency pharmaceutical services must be available 24 hours a day through either the facility's approved emergency kit or by special order from the provider pharmacy. The policy requires that medications in the E-Kit are kept secure, checked regularly for integrity and expiration dating, and only removed with a valid prescriber order. Upon removal, staff must document the medication on the emergency kit log, fax or notify the pharmacy immediately, and reseal the kit until exchange.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered in accordance with manufacturer instructions and accepted standards of clinical practice observed during medication pass. These failures included the administration of an expired inhaler and improper inhaler technique and potentially contaminating a syringe of Lispro prior to administration. As a result, 2 medication errors were identified out of 25 opportunities, resulting in a medication error rate of 8%. This placed residents at risk of reduced potency, diminished therapeutic benefit, and compromised clinical outcomes.1. During an observation on 09/08/2025 at 10:07 AM of medication administration by LVN 4 to Resident 79, LVN 4 administered Breo Ellipta inhaler, but failed to instruct the resident to fully exhale prior to inhaling the dose. Residents Affected - Few During an interview after the medication pass on 09/08/225 at 10:20 AM, LVN 4 acknowledged that she had not instructed the resident to exhale before using the inhaler. She further stated she was unaware that Breo Ellipta inhalers expire six weeks after opening and admitted she had administered the expired inhaler without realizing it. The nurse reported she would check the other inhalers and be more careful in the future. According to the Breo Ellipta manufacturer's instructions, patients must exhale completely before inhalation to ensure medication reaches the lungs effectively. Resident 79 was not provided this instruction, resulting in a medication error. 2. Review of the Breo Ellipta inhaler label revealed it was opened on 07/26/2025 and expired six weeks later on 09/06/2025 per manufacturer guidance. On 09/08/2025, LVN 4 administered the inhaler beyond its expiration date. Administration of expired medication constituted an additional medication error and placed Resident 79 at risk of reduced potency and therapeutic effect. 3. During a medication pass observation on 09/09/25 at 8:15 AM, RN 2 was observed drawing up Lispro insulin into a syringe at the medication cart. Prior to administering the injection to Resident 93, RN 2 placed the uncapped insulin syringe directly onto the resident's overbed table. This same surface was observed to hold personal food items and beverages during the survey. The syringe remained in direct contact with the table for approximately 20 seconds before the nurse picked it up and administered the dose. During an interview on 09/09/25 at 8:20 AM, RN 2 stated, she did leave the syringe on the table. She also stated that she had forgotten and should not have left it for a short period of time on the table. She acknowledged that it was inappropriate because of potential contamination of the syringe. According to the safe injection practices of the CDC guidelines, (https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/clinical-safety/index.html). This guidance establishes that medications must be prepared and handled in environments that protect them from contamination. Once a syringe is prepared, it should remain in a clean, controlled space and be administered promptly. Placing a prefilled syringe on a side table introduces a direct risk of contamination because such surfaces are frequently touched, not disinfected between uses, and cannot be considered sterile. Doing so compromises the sterility of the medication and places the resident at risk for infection, violating accepted standards of practice for safe injection and medication administration.

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control practices during a medication administration for 1 of 1 residents (Resident 93) when RN 2 prepared Lispro Subcutaneous injection and left it on an uncleaned overbed table. This failure had the potential to expose residents to contamination and increased risk of infection.During a medication pass observation on 09/09/25 at 8:15 AM, RN 2 was observed drawing up Lispro insulin into a syringe at the medication cart. Prior to administering the injection, RN 2 placed the uncapped insulin syringe directly onto Resident 93's overbed table. This surface was observed at other times during the survey to hold personal food items and beverages. The syringe remained in contact with the table for approximately 20 seconds before the nurse picked it up and administered the dose. Residents Affected - Few When interviewed on 09/09/25 at 8:20 AM, RN 2 stated, Yes, I did leave the syringe on the table. I forgot, and I should not have left it there, even for a short period of time. She further acknowledged the action was inappropriate because of the potential contamination of the syringe. According to the safe injection practices of the CDC guidelines, (https://www.cdc.gov/injection-safety/hcp/clinical-safety/index.html). This guidance establishes that medications must be prepared and handled in environments that protect them from contamination. Once a syringe is prepared, it should remain in a clean, controlled space and be administered promptly. Placing a prefilled syringe on a side table introduces a direct risk of contamination because such surfaces are frequently touched, not disinfected between uses, and cannot be considered sterile. Doing so compromises the sterility of the medication and places the resident at risk for infection, violating accepted standards of practice for safe injection and medication administration.
