conducted with the Medical Records Director (MRD). The MRD confirmed there was no documented
evidence in Resident 49’s record that formulation of an AD was offered, and formulation of an AD
should have been offered to Resident 49’s RR. The MDR further stated formulation of an AD should
have been offered to the resident of resident representative upon admission and followed up within the first
14 days, during the period of baseline care planning.
2. On July 22, 2025, Resident 88’s record was reviewed. Resident 88 was admitted to the facility on

both hands, identified on July 21, 2025, were identified, addressed, and referred to the physician for
treatment orders.
On July 22, 2025, at 9:31 a.m., a record review was completed and noted that there was no documentation
on the current skin discolorations within the care plan.
Residents Affected - Few
On July 23, 2025, at 4 p.m., an observation was conducted on Resident 10. Resident 10 still observed to
have the previously noted purplish blue discolorations on both hands and a pink skin discoloration on his
left upper arm.
On July 23, 2025, at 4:06 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 10 had a history of anticoagulant (blood thinner) use,
combative behavior, and fragile skin, which made him a high risk for skin injury. LVN 1 stated Resident
10’s discolorations were “on and off.” LVN 1 stated new skin discolorations should be
identified and monitored. LVN 1 stated she last saw Resident 10 on July 22, 2025, but did not notice
purplish blue discolorations on both hands or redness on his left upper extremity.
On July 23, 2025, at 4:20 p.m., an observation with a concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN
1 measured the multiple skin discolorations on Resident 10’s both hands and left upper arm. The
measurement were as follows:
- “Left upper extremity ecchymosis (discoloration due to bleeding) that is red in color, 9 cm (unit of
measurement) x 11 cm”;
- “Left second digit with grayish purple discoloration, 6 cm x 3 cm”; and
- “Right fourth knuckle with purple discoloration, 3.5 cm x 2 cm”
In a concurrent interview, LVN 1 stated there was no care plan initiated regarding the multiple skin
discolorations she just measured. LVN 1 stated for new skin issues, the licensed nurse should complete a
change of condition report, incident report, and inform the resident’s physician and family. LVN 1
stated this process was not done for Resident 10 since the skin issues were identified on July 21, 2025.
LVN 1 stated the lack of reporting and monitoring of identified new skin problems had the potential to delay
in the care or identification of underlying issues. LVN 1 stated this can also cause skin problems to worsen,
including bruising and pain.
On July 24, 2025, at 3:15 p.m., the DON was interviewed. The DON stated any new skin discoloration
should be investigated for cause and potential abuse. The DON stated a change of condition report and
care plan should be completed. The DON stated licensed nurses should have reported, assessed, and
notified the physician and family of Resident 10. The DON stated all these components should have been
done at the point of discovery. The DON stated the staff did not identify the new skin discolorations on
Resident 10, and this should have been reported as soon as possible. The DON stated the delay in
identification could result in a delay in treatment. The DON stated staff should have identified it early so the
appropriate interventions could be “instituted” and communicated to family, the physician, and
the staff.

following regarding Resident 24;-Dependent on staff for all ADLs;-Required low air loss mattress with no
bed rails (bars attached to a bed that serve as a barrier to prevent patients from falling out or to aid in
movement and positioning);-CNA 1 was changing Resident 24's brief while she was standing on the left
side of the bed, she pulled the sheet towards her side, tried to pull the brief out from under Resident 24
towards the right side, and the resident slipped and fell out of the bed on the left side; and-CNA 1 stated
she was informed Resident 24 required two-person assist for brief changes. On July 22, 2025, at 11:07
a.m., during an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, she stated Resident 24 was bed bound
and a fall risk due to weakness. LVN 1 stated CNA 1 was performing brief change on Resident 24 when the
resident rolled on the left side when CNA 1 was pulling the brief. LVN 1 stated Resident 24 was on the floor
on the left side of the bed and was holding onto the roommate's bed rail. On July 22, 2025, at 2 p.m. during
an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated Resident 24 was immobile in bed and required
total assistance for care. RN 1 further stated Resident 24 was on a low air loss mattress, which required
two-person assist for brief changes and CNA 1 should have had a second staff member present while
providing care to Resident 24.On July 23, 2025, at 9 a.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated Resident 24 was considered substantial/maximal assist for rolling from left to right.
The DON stated substantial/maximum assistance indicated two-person assistance was required. The DON
stated the cause of the fall was mechanical due to the air fluctuating in the low air mattress along with the
mattress' slippery surface and the lack of follow-through from CNA 1 regarding requiring two-person
assistance. The DON further stated the cause of the fracture was from the fall and CNA 1 should have
called for assistance during the brief change.On July 23, 2025, at 4:06 p.m., during a follow up interview
with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated she was not aware Resident 24 required two person assist for bed mobility,
including brief changes, prior to the fall. CNA 1 further stated she should have called a second person for
assistance when providing care to Resident 24. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Falls

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately conduct pain assessment, for one
of one resident (Resident 24).This failure had the potential for Resident 24's pain to be unmanaged
appropriately.Findings:On July 23, 2025 at 12:24 p.m., during a concurrent observation of Resident 24 and
interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 6 in Resident 24's room, Resident 24 was assessed for
pain in English and Spanish by LVN 6. Resident 24 did not verbally respond and did not gesture with any

review with LVN 6, Resident 24's July 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR), indicated a pain level
of eight (8) on July 22, 2025 at 8 a.m. LVN 6 stated she assessed Resident 24's pain on this date and time
and should have implemented the PAINAD (a tool used to assess pain in individuals with advanced
dementia who cannot verbally express their pain) assessment scale because Resident 24 was not able to
verbally rate her pain using the numeric pain scale. LVN 6 stated it was important to implement the
appropriate pain scale to accurately assess how much pain the resident was experiencing.On July 24,

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure provision of safe and
effective pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of the residents when:1. For Resident 39,
cholestyramine (medication used to lower cholesterol and treat itching or diarrhea caused by a buildup of
bile acids [substances made by the liver that help digest fats]) was administered without appropriate
separation from other oral medications, not in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the
facility's consultant pharmacist's recommendation to separate administrations.This failure had the potential
to result in reduced drug absorption, and inadequate medication treatment, compromising the effectiveness
of other administered medications; and 2. The documentation on Controlled Drug Record (CDR,
accountability records, an inventory sheet that keeps records of the usage of controlled medications) and
Medication Administration Record (MAR) did not reconcile for two randomly selected residents (Residents
78 and 106).These failures resulted in inaccurate accountability of controlled substances (medication with
high potential for abuse and addiction), which had the potential for misuse or diversion (medication taken by
someone other than for whom it is prescribed) of controlled substances. Findings:1. On July 21, 2025, at
8:58 a.m., during a medication pass observation with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 was
observed preparing a total of four oral medications for Resident 39. Included in the medications were 2
(two) tablets of acetaminophen (pain medication) 500 mg (milligram - unit of measurement), 1 (one) tablet
of Eliquis (blood thinner) 5 mg, 1 (one) capsule of stool softener (docusate sodium, active ingredient) 100
mg, and UTI-Stat oral liquid (supplement) 30 ml (milliliter - unit of measurement). LVN 3 stated
cholestyramine 4 gm (gram - unit of measurement) also needed to be administered but would first
administer the four prepared medications and then obtain a graduated measuring cup from the supply room
to dilute the cholestyramine powder in 8 oz (ounces - unit of liquid measurement) of liquid, as the cups
available in the medication cart were too small to accurately measure the required 8 oz of liquid.On July 21,
2025, at 9:18 a.m., LVN 3 was observed administering the four prepared medications to Resident 39.On
July 21, 2025, at 9:26 a.m., LVN 3 was observed preparing and administering the diluted cholestyramine to
Resident 39.During a review of Resident 39's medical record, the following physician orders were noted:Cholestyramine Light Packet 4 GM, Give 1 packet by mouth two times a day for Generalized body itching,
Mix in 8 oz Liquid, dated December 1, 2024. The scheduled administration times were 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.;Acetaminophen 500 MG, Give 2 tablets by mouth two times a day for Pain Management/chronic headache,
dated July 24, 2024;- Apixaban (generic name for Eliquis) Oral Tablet 5 MG, Give 5 mg by mouth two times
a day for PPX (prophylaxis, preventive) blood clots, Monitor for sign of bleeding/discolorations, dated June
21, 2025;- Stool Softener Oral Capsule 100 MG (Docusate Sodium), Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a
day for constipation, hold for loose stool, dated December 25, 2024; and- UTI-Stat oral liquid
(Cranberry-Vitamin C-Inulin), Give 30 ml by mouth one time a day for management, dated July 9,
2025.During a review of Resident 39's medical record, the MAR, dated June 2025 and July 2025, indicated
the cholestyramine was administered at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. through July 9, 2025, then at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
beginning July 10, 2025.On July 21, 2025, at 3:08 p.m., during a concurrent interview and record review
with LVN 3, LVN 3 reviewed the physician's order and stated the Director of Nursing (DON) had updated the
administration time for cholestyramine from 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., as reflected in the

Consultant Pharmacist (CP)'s Medication Regimen Review (MRR). The DON explained the facility's
medication pass time window allows for medications scheduled at 9 a.m. to be administered between 8
a.m. and 10 a.m., and those scheduled at 5 p.m. to be administered between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The DON
acknowledged the CP's recommended administration times needed clarification, as they overlapped with
other scheduled oral medications given daily at 9 a.m., and twice daily at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., according to
the facility's medication pass schedule.A review of the facility's CP's MRR, dated June 27, 2025, the MRR
for Resident 39 indicated: .Cholestyramine (Questran) significantly interacts with other medications by
preventing their absorption. The manufacturer indicates it should be given 1 hour after other meds in order
to avoid these potential interactions. Please consider giving at 10am (1000) & 6pm (1800) instead.On July
22, 2025, at 2:45 p.m., during a concurrent interview with the CP, the CP acknowledged the recommended
administration times of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. overlapped with the facility's medication pass windows for the
scheduled 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. doses. During a concurrent interview with the DON, the DON acknowledged
the recommended administration times by the CP should have been clarified since they still overlapped with
the administration times of other oral medications.A review of a nationally recognized drug information
resource from Micromedex, dated on March 19, 2025, the resource indicated, .Administer other oral
medications at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after cholestyramine, due to the potential to bind to orally
administered drugs.A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Administering Medications, dated
April 2019, indicated, .If.a medication has been identified as having potential adverse consequences for the
resident or is suspected of being associated with adverse consequences, the person preparing or
administering the medication will contact the prescriber, the resident's Attending Physician or the facility's
Medical Director to discuss the concerns.2a. On July 22, 2025, at 11:22 a.m., during an inspection of
Medication Cart 1 with LVN 3, blister cards containing controlled substance (CS) were randomly selected
from the locked drawer of the Medication Cart 1 and reviewed to verify accurate documentation of
administration and accountability. Resident 106's record was concurrently reviewed with LVN 3. Resident
106 had a physician's order, dated July 14, 2025, for tramadol (a controlled substance for pain) 50 mg
(milligram, unit of measurement), one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for moderate to severe
pain.Resident 106's tramadol 50 mg CDR and July 2025 MAR were reviewed. LVN 3 confirmed the
Resident 106'sCDR indicated the nursing staff removed and signed out one tablet of tramadol 50 mg on
July 18, 2025, at 9 p.m., but it was not documented as administered on the MAR. 2b. On July 22, 2025, at
3:10 p.m., during an inspection of Medication Cart 3 with LVN 4, blister cards containing CS were randomly
selected from the locked drawer of the Medication Cart 3 and reviewed to verify accurate documentation of
administration and accountability. Resident 78 had a physician's order, dated May 7, 2025, for oxycodone (a
controlled substance for pain) 10 mg, one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for severe pain.
Resident 78's oxycodone 10 mg CDR and July 2025 MAR were concurrently reviewed with LVN 4. LVN 4
confirmed the CDR indicated nursing staff removed and signed out one tablet of oxycodone 10 mg on July
21, 2025, at 12:48 p.m., but it was not documented as administered on the MAR. On July 24, 2025, at 3:40
p.m., during a concurrent interview and record review with the DON, the CDR and MAR were reviewed for
Residents 78 and 106. The DON confirmed the findings and stated each resident's CDR and MAR should
match. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Documentation of Medication Administration,
dated April 2007, indicated, .A Nurse or Certified Medication Aide.shall document all medications
administered to each resident on the resident's medication administration record (MAR). Administration of

stated the lidocaine 4% patch should have been administered once daily, applied at 9 a.m. and removed at
9 p.m., as ordered by the physician. The DON acknowledged nursing staff should have clarified the
frequency of the order with the physician and followed the correct application and removal times.A review of
the facility's policy and procedure titled, Administering Medications dated April 2019, indicated,

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 ensure infection prevention and control
practices were upheld when:1. One licensed nurse was observed wearing long, acrylic nails while providing
direct patient care;2. One licensed nurse was observed not to follow enhanced barrier precautions (EBP- a
type of isolation precaution) while providing direct patient care to Resident 45; and3. For Resident 44, the
nebulizer tubing and mask, as well as the Yankauer suction tip (type of suction tip), were not stored
appropriately when not in use.These failures had the potential to spread infection among the vulnerable
residents of the facility. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. On July 23, 2025, at 12:30 p.m., the medication cart was observed in front of room [ROOM NUMBER]
and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 was observed coming out of the room after a few minutes. In a
concurrent interview, LVN 3 stated she finished with her medication pass (administration) and the task
entailed checking blood sugars and administering insulin for the 11 am med pass. LVN 3 was observed
wearing long, red acrylic nails, approximately 1/3 inch from the tip of her fingers on all five fingers of the left
hand, as well as the thumb, forefinger and third digit of the right hand. LVN 3 confirmed she was wearing
acrylic nails, and the acrylic nails were placed on top of her natural nails since her natural nails were brittle.
LVN 3 stated she was not sure what the facility policy was regarding acrylic nails, but acknowledged that
nails should be kept short and clean. LVN 3 stated having long nails while providing direct patient care
increased the risk of transmission of infection to the residents. LVN 3 stated she should not be wearing
long, acrylic nails.
On July 24, 2025, at 9:40 a.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) was interviewed. The IP stated LVN 3 should
not have worn long acrylic nails, since long and artificial nails were not allowed due to high risk of infection
transmission to residents. The IP further stated long nails can also cause skin tears in the residents, which
in turn, could also get infected.
On July 24, 2025, at 2:15 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed. The DON stated LVN 3
should not have had long acrylic nails. The DON further stated he expected direct patient care staff to have
short clean nails and not have artificial nails, to avoid scratching the residents and potentially transmitting
infection among the residents.
A review of the facility’s “EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK,” dated November 1, 2014,
indicated, “…Appearance Standards…Fingernails must be kept clean…”
The facility did not have a policy specific to long, artificial nails in relation to infection control.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC - a leading national public health
institute in the United States) website, .Germs can live under artificial fingernails both before and after
using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and hand washing. It is recommended that healthcare providers do
not wear artificial fingernails or extensions when having direct contact with patients at high risk .Keep
natural nail tips less than 1/4 inch long.
2. On July 21, 2025, at 10:50 a.m., an observation was conducted with Resident 45. Resident 45 was in
bed, alert, non-verbal, and appeared congested. Outside Resident 45’s room was a signage
indicating EBP before entering. The EBP sign indicated, “EVERYONE MUST: Perform hand hygiene
before entering the room…ANYONE PARTICIPATING IN ANY OF THESE SIX MOMENTS MUST

On July 21, 2025, at 10:55 a.m., LVN 3, was observed to enter Resident 45’s room. LVN 3 donned
gloves and proceeded to suction (clear out airway) Resident 45’s airway. LVN 3 did not don a mask
and/or gown prior to suctioning Resident 45’s airway.
On July 21, 2025, at 11:55 a.m., LVN 3 was interviewed. LVN 3 stated Resident 45 was experiencing
oxygen desaturation (decrease in oxygen concentration level in blood) and subsequently, required
suctioning and breathing treatment. LVN 3 stated Resident 45 was on EBP due to her gastrostomy tube
(tube inserted through abdomen to stomach for nourishment). LVN 3 stated EBP was indicated for
residents with a gastrostomy tube to protect both the residents and staff from possible spread of infection.
LVN 3 stated the facility staff should wear PPE (personal protective equipment) such as gown, gloves, and
mask when providing direct care when providing direct care to a resident requiring EBP precaution. LVN 3
stated airway suctioning on a resident was considered direct care. LVN 3 stated she did not wear gown and
mask when she conducted the airway suctioning on Resident 45. LVN 3 stated she did not follow the
procedure on EBP precaution.
On July 22, 2025, Resident 45’s record was reviewed. Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses which included Alzheimer’s (memory loss), diabetes mellitus (abnormal
blood sugar), and presence of gastrostomy tube.
A review of Resident 45’s physician’s order, dated May 13, 2024, which indicated,
“May have enhanced barrier precaution r/t (related to ) Gtube (gastrostomy tube) used to minimized
risk of MDROs (Multi-Drug Resistant Organism - microorganisms, such as bacteria, that have become
resistant to multiple antibiotics).
A [NAME] of Resident 45’s care plan, dated May 13, 2024, indicated, “…May have
enhanced barrier precaution…Follow enhance barrier precaution when doing high contact activities
with resident…”
The facility's policy and procedure titled, “Enhanced Barrier Precautions,” dated 2001, was
reviewed. The policy indicated, “…Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are utilized to prevent
the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents…EBPs employ targeted gown and
glove use during high contact resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise
apply…Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing the high contact resident care
activity…Face protection may be used if there is also a risk of splash or spray…EBPs are
indicated (when contact precautions do not otherwise apply) for residents with wounds and/or indwelling
medical devise regardless of MDRO colonization…”
3. On July 21, 2025, at 11:07 a.m., an observation with a concurrent interview was conducted with Resident
44. Resident 44 was in bed, alert, and able to be interviewed. Observed next to Resident 44’s bed
was a bedside dresser with Resident 44’s personal belongings. Observed behind a bouquet of
flowers and directly placed on top of the bedside dresser were the following:
- A nebulizer tubing and mask with a date of “6/30/25 (June 30, 2025)”; and
- A suction machine set-up with tubing and Yankauer (a type of suction tip used in medical procedures to
remove fluids and debris from a patient's airway or surgical site). The suction canister

Both nebulizer tubing and mask, and suction tubing and Yankauer were observed not stored in the
appropriate container bag when not in use.
Residents Affected - Some
In a concurrent interview, Resident 44 stated her last breathing treatment (respiratory medication given
through nebulizer) was five days ago.
On July 21, 2025, at 12:04 p.m., an observation with a concurrent interview was conducted with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3. LVN 3 observed the nebulizer tubing and mask and suction tubing and Yankauer
directly on top of Resident 44’s bedside dresser. LVN 3 stated the nebulizer tubing and suction
supplies should be changed every week. LVN 3 stated the nebulizer tubing was dated June 30, 2025, and
the suction supplies (tubing, canister, and Yankauer) were undated. LVN 3 stated the nebulizer tubing and
bag should have been replaced on July 20, 2025. LVN 3 stated the nebulizer tubing and mask, and suction
tubing and Yankauer should have been stored in a bag when not in use to prevent the spread of infection.
LVN 3 stated she did not know when the suction machine was last used.
On July 24, 2025, at 3:03 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) was interviewed. The IP stated the nebulizer
tubing and mask should be changed once a week. The IP stated it was the facility’s standard of
practice to change tubing (e.g. oxygen tube, nebulizer tube) on Sundays. The IP stated a suction canister
should be discarded after each use.
The IP stated the suction canister and Yankauer next to Resident 44’s bedside dresser, should have
been dated if not used and the suction canister and Yankauer should have been discarded after use during
the shift. The IP further stated the nebulizer tubing and mask, and suction tubing and Yankauer should have
been stored in a bag when not in use.
A review of the facility’s document titled, “Suctioning the Upper Airway (Nasopharyngeal or
Oropharyngeal Suctioning,” revised October 2023, indicated, “…After
Suctioning…Turn off suction…Disconnect catheter from tubing. Wrap catheter around gloved
hand. Pull the glove off and over the catheter. Discard in designated receptacle…”
