Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sampled residents (Resident 9 and
Resident 47) and/or their legal representative (RP) were informed and/or provided written information about
Advance Directives (AD, legal document, which specifies the health-related actions in accordance with the
resident's wishes, that is actuated when the resident is no longer able to make decisions for himself/herself
due to illness or incapacity).
These failures violated Resident 9 and Resident 47's right to formulate an AD and had the potential to
receive inappropriate or medically unnecessary care and/or treatment or services regarding life-sustaining
treatment.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 9's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 9 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia (complete paralysis) and hemiparesis
(partial weakness) following cerebral infarction (stroke, result of disruptive blood flow to the brain) affecting
left dominant side, unspecified dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking
abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life) and apraxia (a disorder of the brain and nervous
system in which a person is unable to perform tasks or movements when asked) following cerebral
infarction.
During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 8/27/24, the MDS indicated, Resident 9's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Summary Score
for cognitive (ability to think and process information) status was severely impaired. The MDS indicated,
Resident 9 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity) to requiring supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) on staff for activities of
daily living.
During a review of Resident 9's History and Physical (H&P), dated 9/16/24, the H&P indicated, Resident 9
did not have the capacity to make decisions.
b. During a review of Resident 47's AR, the AR indicated, Resident 47 was originally admitted to the facility
on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease with acute exacerbation (a sudden and sustained worsening of [COPD, a group of lung diseases
that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe] symptoms that lasts for several days or weeks), sepsis (a
life-threatening complication of an infection), unspecified organism and

unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often very rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood
flow).
During a review of Resident 47's H&P, dated 9/17/24, the H&P indicated, Resident 47 was oriented to
person, place, and time.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 47's MDS, dated 9/20/24, the MDS indicated, Resident 47's BIMS Summary
Score for cognitive status was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated, Resident 47 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) to setup or clean-up assistance
(helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity) on staff for activities of daily living.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/16/24 at 9:48 a.m. with the Social Services
Coordinator (SSC), Resident 9's and Resident 47's medical records were reviewed. The SSC stated, the
SSD did not have a copy on file of Resident 9 and Resident 47's AD or the Acknowledgment Form (AF).
The SSD stated, the AF is a form provided to the residents (in general ) or the residents' RP to formulate an
AD and in the event the resident did not have the capacity to make decisions about the resident's health
care, the facility could honor the resident's wishes. The SSC stated, the AF must be provided to the resident
or the resident's RP within seventy-two (72) hours of admission. The SSC stated it was the SSC who take
care of the AD.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Resident Rights, date revised 3/2022, the P&P indicated,
residents had the right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Residents' Rights Regarding Treatment and Advance Directives,
date revised 9/22/23, the P&P indicated, it was the policy of the facility to support and facilitate a resident's
right to request, refuse and/or discontinue medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance
directive.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Social Services Coordinator, the P&P indicated, one of
the essential duties and responsibilities of the SSC was to review the AD and/or Preferred. Intensity of Care
(PIC) with new residents and their families and follow-up with completion of AD and/or PIC.

Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated
resident assessment tool) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 43) was completed accurately in
accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P).
This failure had the potential for Resident 43 to receive inappropriate care and services based on Resident
43's preferences, goals of care, functional and health status, strengths, and needs.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 43's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 43 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including
dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), oropharyngeal (middle part of the throat behind the mouth) phase,
encounter for attention to gastrostomy (a surgical procedure used to insert a tube, often referred to as a
G-tube through the abdomen and into the stomach) and essential (primary) hypertension (high blood
pressure).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/16/24 at 3:22 p.m. with the Acting Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 43's MDS, dated 8/22/24 and Resident 43's physician orders were reviewed.
The MDS indicated, Resident 43's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Summary Score for cognitive
(ability to think and process information) status was moderately impaired. Section N-Medications of the
MDS, indicated, Resident 43 was taking anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin, heparin, or low-molecular weight
heparin) with indication noted. The ADON stated, it was the ADON who was responsible for completing the
MDS. The ADON stated, the ADON made a boo boo and Resident 43 did not have any orders for
anticoagulant medication. The ADON stated, it was important for the MDS to be accurate because the MDS
affected the resident's (in general) care.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, MDS 3.0 Completion, Assessment and Care Planning Policy,
date revised 9/26/22, the P&P indicated, residents were assessed, using a comprehensive assessment
process, in order to identify care needs and to develop an interdisciplinary care plan. The MDS indicated,
According to federal regulations, the facility conducts initially and periodically a comprehensive, accurate
and standardized assessment of each resident's functional capacity, using the RAI (Resident Assessment
Instrument) specified by the State.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to complete and transmit the quarterly Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment in a timely manner for two of two
sampled residents (Residents 28 and Resident 30) as indicated in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS - a federal agency that manages health care programs in the United States) Resident
Assessment Instrument (RAI, a tool used by nursing homes to assess the needs, strengths, and
preferences of residents) manual.
Residents Affected - Few
a. For Resident 28, the MDS was not transmitted within 14 days after discharge from the facility.
b. For Resident 30, the MDS was not transmitted within 14 days after admission and discharge.
These deficient practices resulted to a late completion and transmission of MDS assessment to CMS
Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (QIES) Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP)
system. This had the potential to affect the facility's quality monitoring data.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 28's Face Sheet (FS), the FS indicated Resident 28 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].
During a review of Resident 28's Client Diagnosis Report (CDR) dated 5/20/2024, the CDR indicated
Resident 28 had diagnoses that included atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and generalized weakness.
During a review of Resident 28's admission MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 28's cognition
(ability to understand) was intact and needed moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort)
with bed mobility, lower body dressing and toilet use.
During an interview and concurrent record review of Resident 28's discharge MDS, dated [DATE], with the
Acting Director of Nursing (ADON) on 10/18/2024 at 9:44 am, the ADON stated Resident 28's discharge
MDS was not completed or signed. The ADON stated, I forgot about it and I missed sending it to CMS.
b. During a review of Resident 30's FS, the FS indicated Resident 30 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and diabetes mellitus (elevated blood
sugar).
During a review of Resident 30's admission MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 30's cognition
was intact and required maximal assistance (helper does more than half he effort) with bed mobility (moved
to and from lying position, moves side to side), lower body dressing and showers. The admission MDS
indicated an assessment completion date of 6/17/2024.
During an interview and concurrent record review of Resident 30's initial assessment MDS dated [DATE]
and discharge MDS dated [DATE], with the Acting Director of Nursing/MDS Coordinator (ADON), on
10/18/2024 at 9:34 am, the ADON stated Resident 30's initial and discharge MDS assessment were not

discharge assessments from all departments were completed.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Acting Director of Nursing/MDS coordinator
(ADON), on 10/18/2024 at 9:44 am, the ADON stated Resident 30's admission and discharge MDS were
not submitted 14 days after admission and after discharge to CMS. The ADON stated admission and
discharge MDS's must be submitted timely (within 14 days) to CMS for payment and compliance and to
indicate assessments were done. The ADON stated the facility did not have a policy for MDS but follow the
guidelines of the CMS RAI manual.
During an interview with the Acting Director of Nursing (ADON) on 10/18/2024 throughout the day, the
ADON was unable to provide a copy of the MDS 3.0 Submission Report (MDSSR, a document that
provides feedback to the facility on whether the data it submitted [to CMS] meets the required standards)

submitted to CMS.
A review of the MDS RAI Version 3.0 Manual, Chapter 5: Submission and Correction of the MDS
Assessments dated 10/2024 indicated under Submission Time Frame for MDS Records, admission
assessments must be submitted no later than 14 days after the MDS completion date (VO200C2). Further
review indicated discharge assessments must be submitted no later than 14 days after MDS completion
date (ZO500B)

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 42) who was admitted with a suprapubic catheter (a type of medical device tube that helps drain
urine from your bladder) had a baseline care plan (CP provides direction on the type of nursing care an
individual needs that include goals of treatment, specific nursing interventions [actions, treatments,
procedures, or activities designed to meet an objective] and an evaluation plan]) developed and
implemented within forty eight (48) hours of admission in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P).
This failure had the potential for Resident 42 not receiving continuity of care and the lack of communication
among staff which could lead to decrease in Resident 42's safety and safeguard against adverse events.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 42 admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 42 was originally
admitted on [DATE] and last readmitted on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia (complete
paralysis) and hemiparesis (partial weakness) following cerebral infarction (stroke, result of disruptive blood
flow to the brain) affecting right dominant side, acute (severe and sudden in onset) kidney failure and
encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device (medical device tube used to empty the bladder and
collect urine).
During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 10/4/24, the MDS indicated, Resident 42's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Summary Score
for cognitive (ability to think and process information) status was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated,
Resident 42 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity) on staff for toileting hygiene. Section H - Bladder and Bowel of the MDS indicated, Resident 42 had
an indwelling catheter (including suprapubic catheter and nephrostomy tube).
During a review of Resident 42's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 10/14/24, the H&P
indicated, Resident 42 had a suprapubic catheter and Resident 42 the capacity to make own decisions.
During a review of Resident 42's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated as of 10/18/24, the OSR indicated,
an order for supra pubic catheter 16 FR 10 ml.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/17/24 at 8:37 a.m. with Resident 42, Resident 42 was
awake in bed and had a suprapubic catheter to gravity draining clear yellow colored urine with the urinary
collection bag inside a dark navy colored dignity bag. Resident 42 stated, Resident 42 has had the
suprapubic catheter for two (2) months because Resident 42 could not pee otherwise.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/17/24 at 8:43 a.m. with the Acting Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 42's medical records were reviewed. Resident 42's medical records including
the medical chart did not have any care plans on file. The ADON stated, Resident 42 was admitted on

hours of admission so staff will have a plan on how to take care of Resident 42.
During an interview on 10/17/24 at 9:20 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated, Resident 42
was admitted on [DATE] with a suprapubic catheter. The IP stated all residents with catheter(foley,
suprapubic) should have a care plan. The IP stated, it was the RN (Registered Nurse) Supervisor who
created the baseline care plan upon admission, or the Licensed Nurse could create the CP but the CP had
to be reviewed/counter signed by the RN. The IP stated, it was important a base line care plan was created
so the staff would know how to take care of Resident 42 especially with his catheter.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Baseline Care Plan, date revised 9/26/22, the P&P indicated, the
facility would develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident that included the instructions
needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that met professional standards of
quality care. The P&P indicated; the baseline care plan would be developed within 48 hours of a resident's
admission. The P&P indicated; a supervising nurse should verify within 48 hours that a baseline care plan
had been developed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop or implement an individualized
person-centered care plan for one of one sampled resident(Resident 2) who was at risk for elopement (run
away without permission) and had a history of elopement.
This failure had the potential to result in unmet individual needs and the potential to affect the resident's
safety and well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included mild cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to
think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions), metabolic encephalopathy (impaired brain
function) and abnormal gait and mobility (abnormal walking pattern).
During a review of Resident 2's Risk of Elopement/Wandering Review (RE/WR) dated 3/15/2024, and
6/17/2024, the RE/WR indicated the resident was at risk for elopement and had a history of leaving the
facility without need of supervision or informing staff.
During a review of Resident 2's Physician's Order (PO) dated 5/9/2024, the PO indicated for Resident 2 to
have a wander guard (wearable device that helps keep track of residents who are at risk of wandering) for
exit seeking behavior.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
dated 9/18/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 2
had wandering behavior and if the resident had eloped, this would place the resident at significant risk of
getting to a potentially dangerous place (outside the facility). The MDS indicated Resident 2 needed set-up
assistance when walking up to 150 feet and supervision (helper provides verbal cues) from lying to sitting
position.
During an interview with Family Member 1 (FM 1) on 10/15/2024 at 10:43 am, FM 1 stated Resident 2 tried
to leave the facility in the past to go back home. FM 1 stated a wander guard was ordered for Resident 2 to
ensure Resident 2 does not elope from the facility.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) in Resident 2's room, on
10/17/2024 at 11:01 am, Resident 2 was sitting on a recliner and a four-leg walker was in front of the
resident. Upon further observation with RN 1, a wander guard was hanging on Resident 2's walker. RN 1
stated Resident 2 was high risk for elopement, had wandering behavior and had a history of attempting to
leave the facility.
During an interview and record review of Resident 2's paper and electronic charts (medical record) with RN
1 on 10/17/2024 at 11:08 am, RN 1 stated Resident 2 did not have a care plan for elopement. RN 1 stated
there should be a care plan to address the risk for elopement for Resident 2' safety because the resident
could escape from the facility, fall, get hurt or even hit by a car outside the facility.

Residents Affected - Some
Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to revise/update the care plan for two of two
sampled residents (Residents 2 and 39) who were assessed as at risk for fall (coming to rest on the ground
or lower-level surface).
These deficient practices had the potential for the residents not to receive care specific to their needs and
placed the residents at risk for further falls and complications.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included mild cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to
think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions), metabolic encephalopathy (impaired brain
function) and abnormal gait and mobility (abnormal walking pattern).
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
dated 9/18/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was cognitively impaired and needed moderate (helper
does less than half the effort) with showers, sit to stand, bed to chair transfers and toilet/tub transfers.
During a review of Resident 2's Fall Risk Assessments (FRA), dated 7/1/2024, 7/9/2024, and 7/14/2024,
the FRA indicated the resident was high risk for falls.
During an interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 10/17/2024 at 11:17 am and concurrent record
review of Resident 2's Report of Incident - Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation
(SBAR)- Actual or Suspected Fall, under Acute Suspected or Actual Fall Care Plan (ASAFCP) dated
7/9/2024, 7/10/2024, and 7/14/2024, RN 1 stated Resident 2's ASAFCP care plan was blank and not
updated. RN 1 stated it was important to update Resident 2's resident care plan to determine if a specific
intervention to prevent further falls was done or needed to be updated.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Care Plan Revisions Upon Status
Change, revised 9/26/2022, the P&P indicated the purpose of this procedure is to prove consistent process
for reviewing and revising the care plan for those residents experiencing a status change. The
comprehensive care plan will be reviewed, and revised as necessary .
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled Fall Prevention, the P&P indicated residents who sustain
a fall will have a care plan developed or the existing care plan updated at the time of the incident occurs
that includes the date fall occurred and measurable objectives and time frames.
b. A review of the admission record indicated Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnosis including but not limited to, repeated falls, acute respiratory failure (a life-threatening condition
that occurs when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood or remove enough carbon dioxide [a
colorless, odorless gas that's naturally present in the air, essentially a waste product that we breathe out
when we exhale] from the body) with hypoxia (a condition where the body's tissues and cells don't have
enough oxygen to function normally), muscle wasting and atrophy (the decrease in size or wasting away of
a body part or tissue).

Residents Affected - Some
A review of the Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 39 had a total score of 9. According
to the assessment tool, Resident 39 was at moderate risk for falls.
A review of the care plan for falls dated 9/5/24, indicated Resident 39 was at high risk for falls/injury related
to altered mental status, limited mobility, history of falls, psychotropic (substances that affect the brain to
change perception and cognition) medication, and diuretics (a medication that increases the amount of
urine produced by the kidneys, helping the body get rid of excess fluid and salt). The goal indicated
Resident 39 would be free of falls through the review date. The care plan interventions included assist
resident with mobility, transfers; encourage resident not to get up without assistance, always keep call light
within reach, and maintain safe and hazard free environment.
During a review of Resident 39's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 9/11/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 39 was cognitively (the ability to think and process
information) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 39 mobility was not attempted due to medical condition or
safety concerns and required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper
lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with mobility.
A review of the Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 39 had a total score of 10.
According to the assessment tool, Resident 39 was at high risk for falling.
A review of the Incident Report form indicated Resident 39 had a fall on 10/4/24.
A review of the Situational Background Assessment & Recommendation (SBAR, a structured
communication framework that can help teams share information about the condition of a patient or team
member or about another issue the team needs to address) Form, dated 10/4/24, indicated that the
recommendation was to remind resident to call for assistance, and keep call light within reach.
A review of the interdisciplinary team (IDT) conference record dated 10/6/24, indicated staff found Resident
39 on the floor by her bedside, and Resident 39 told staff that she was trying to put her pants in the laundry.
The IDT conference record indicated resident has some periods of confusion and forgetfulness due to
dementia. The IDT conference record indicated Resident 39's care plan was reviewed.
During an observation on 10/16/24 at 2:20 PM, Resident 39 was lying in bed asleep.
During an interview on 10/16/24 at 3:13 PM, with Resident 39, Resident 39 stated she was sitting on the
edge of the bed and tried reaching for her pants that were sitting on a chair next to her bed. Resident 39
stated she slid off the bed, fell on the ground, and did not sustain any injuries. Resident 39 could not recall
what day the fall occurred.
During an interview on 10/16/24 at 4:25 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5, LVN 5 stated that the
protocol of the facility was to ensure that safety alarms, safety floor mats, beds are in the lowest position,
and call lights are within reach as safety measures for fall risk residents. LVN 5 stated that the care plan
should be revised after a fall to address new risk factors and to ensure the current plan is still effective. LVN
5 stated that Resident 39 did not have safety floor mats in place.
During an interview on 10/17/24 at 4:13 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that

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 ensure one of 5 sampled residents (Resident
48), who was assessed as a high risk to develop pressure ulcer (a localized injury to the skin and/or
underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with
shear) and was admitted without pressure ulcers, received the necessary care and services to prevent a
development of a pressure ulcer.
Residents Affected - Few
As a result, on 10/1/2024, Resident 48 was identified with a stage 2 pressure injury (an open wound that
occurs when the skin breaks, wears away, or forms an ulcer) to the left buttock.
Findings:
A review of the admission record indicated Resident 48 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnosis including but not limited to, end stage renal disease (ESRD, a medical condition in which a
person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis leading to the need for a regular course of
long-term dialysis), endocarditis (a life-threatening inflammation of the inner lining of the heart's chambers
and valves), and bacteremia (the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream).
A review of the Wound Risk assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated Resident 48 was a high
risk for skin breakdown.
A review of the care plan dated 8/23/24, indicated Resident 48 was risk for developing pressure sore,
bruising, and other types of skin breakdown related to reduced mobility, immobility, incontinence of bowel
and bladder, diabetes mellitus (a chronic disease that occurs when the body can't use glucose [blood
sugar] properly, coronary artery disease (a condition that occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply
blood and oxygen to the heart, become narrowed or blocked), and aging process. The care plan
approaches and interventions included assess risk using wound risk assessment on admission, turn and
position as needed when in bed or wheelchair, encourage resident to assist with turning and positioning
changes as tolerated, explain the risk and benefit of being out of bed, turning, and repositioning, and clean
after each episode of incontinence.
A review of the care plan dated 8/23/2024, indicated Resident 48 had alteration in bowel and bladder
function and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder function. The care plan interventions included
render good perineal care and keep clean and dry after each episode of incontinence.
A review of the Admitting Skin assessment dated [DATE], the assessment indicated Resident 48 had
redness to the Sacro-coccyx (tailbone) area.
During a review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 8/29/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 48 was moderately cognitively (the ability to think and
process information) impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 48 required substantial/maximal assistance
(when a helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs but provides more than
half the effort) with activities of daily living (ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care activities)
and was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or
assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with mobility.

A review of the Situational Background Assessment & Recommendation (SBAR, a structured
communication framework that can help teams share information about the condition of a patient or team
member or about another issue the team needs to address) Form, dated 10/1/24, the SBAR indicated
Resident 48 had an open area to the left buttock a stage 2 pressure injury. The SBAR indicated Resident
48 was mostly bed bound. The SBAR indicated that the recommendation was to keep the area clean,
treatment as ordered, apply pressure relieving mattress, and reposition every 2 hours.
A review of the Weekly Pressure Sore Report dated 10/1/24, the report indicated the wound to the left
buttock was a size 2.0 x 1.7 centimeters (cm, a unit of measurement in the metric system that is used to
measure lengths of small objects), depth of 0.1cm, red in color, stage 2, and 100 percent (a number that
represents a portion out of 100) granulation (the process of forming small particles, the development of new
tissue in a wound) tissue.
A review of the Weekly Pressure Sore Report dated 10/8/24, the report indicated the wound to the left
buttock was a size 1.8 x 1.6cm, depth of 0.1cm, red in color, stage 2, and 100 percent granulation tissue.
A review of the Weekly Pressure Sore Report dated 10/14/24, the report indicated the wound to the left
buttock was a size 1.0 x 1.0cm, depth 0.1cm, red in color, stage 2, and treatment was changed to DuoDerm
(a flexible waterproof dressing used to cover a wound and reduce infection) with calazime (a prevention
treatment used for diaper rash and skin irritation) ointment.
A review of the Weekly Pressure Sore Report dated 10/17/24, the area had closed and treatment for
maintenance only was indicated.
During an observation on 10/18/24 at 08:15 AM, Resident 48 was seen in her room sitting in a wheelchair
with a cushion watching television.
During an observation on 10/18/2024 at 10:30 AM, Resident 48 was seen in her room sitting in wheelchair
with a cushion watching television.
During an interview on 10/18/2024 at 10:33 AM, Resident 48 stated staff had not encouraged her to
reposition in wheelchair or transfer to bed to allow pressure relief. Resident 48 stated she believed that the
pressure sore around her tailbone developed from the lack of repositioning and from the wet diapers.
Resident 48 stated the overnight staff took longer than usual to clean and change her wet diapers while in
bed. Resident 48 stated staff would hardly encourage or offer to reposition her when she was in bed and
while in the wheelchair.
During the same interview on 10/18/2024 at 10:33 AM, Resident 48 stated she developed the pressure
sore at the facility but could not recall when it occurred. Resident 48 stated that her thought process was
affected due to the heart infection she developed but was slowly regaining it back. Resident 48 stated she
was still weak from the waist down and still had no bladder control. Resident 48 stated the use of the adult
diapers was due to the loss of bladder control. Resident 48 stated she had better control of her bowels.
During an interview on 10/18/2024 at 10:46 AM, with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 7, CNA 7 stated
residents should be repositioned every two hours or as needed. CNA 7 stated repositioning every two
hours should be encouraged and offered whether in bed or in a wheelchair. CNA 7 stated the importance of
repositioning was to avoid pressure injuries or to prevent worsening of pressure injuries.

CNA 7 stated leaving a resident in a wet diaper for an extended period of time can lead to skin breakdown
and skin damage.
During the same interview on 10/18/2024 at 10:46 AM, with CNA 7, CNA 7 stated that Resident 48 had not
been encouraged or offered to be repositioned while in wheelchair for more than 2 hours and had not been

lead to further skin breakdown or worsening of the wound and should be encouraged to reduce the amount
of time spent in the wheelchair.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Pressure Injury Prevention Management & Guidelines, dated
9/26/22, the P&P indicated it was the policy of the facility to prevent avoidable pressure injuries, unless
clinically unavoidable, and to provide treatment and services to heal the pressure ulcer/injury, prevent
infection and the development of additional pressure ulcers/injuries, this included:
A. Preventive Skin Care:
1.Avoid positioning the resident on an area of redness whenever possible.
2.Keep the skin clean and dry.
a. Manage incontinence with absorptive products. Check every 2 hours, and provide perineal care as
needed after incontinent episodes. Diaper usage in bed is not recommended.
b. Protect skin from exposure to excessive moisture with barrier products.
B. Repositioning:
1. Reposition all resident at risk of, or with existing pressure injuries, unless contraindicated due to medical
condition. Utilize small shifts in repositioning, if otherwise contraindicated.
2. Routine repositioning schedule: every two hours, using both side-lying and back positions. Reposition
when in bed, and out of bed.
3. Repositioning techniques:
a. Avoid positioning the resident on bony/prominences/turning surfaces with existing pressure injuries,
including stage 1.
b. Minimize seating time/out of bedtime to promote ischial and sacral wound healing.
4. Pressure Relieving Devices
a. Support surfaces do not eliminate the need for turning and repositioning.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident
(Resident 35) receiving oxygen therapy was provided respiratory care and resident safety in accordance
with the facility's policy and procedure titled Oxygen Administration, and professional standards of practice.
There was no sign posted on the resident's door indicating oxygen in use.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 35's safety at risk regarding oxygen usage.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 35's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung
diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe) and repeated falls.
During a review of Resident 35's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 8/22/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 35 had impaired cognition (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated, Resident 35
required maximal assistance (helper set-up and cleans up) with toilet hygiene, showers, and lower body
dressing.
During a review of Resident 35's Physician Order's (PO), dated 7/3/2024, the PO indicated for licensed staff
to administer oxygen at two (2) to four (4) liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula (NC- flexible plastic
tubing used to deliver oxygen through the nostrils and the tubing is fitted over the patient's ears) every shift
for shortness of breath.
During an observation on 10/15/2024 at 9:41 am, Resident 35 was asleep lying in bed with a nasal cannula
connected to an oxygen machine. Upon further inspection of Resident 35's room, there was no sign posted
on Resident 35's door to indicate oxygen was in use in the room and that smoking was prohibited.
During a review of Resident 35's Medication Administration Record, from 10/1/2024 to 10/15/2024, the
MAR indicated Resident 35 received oxygen 2L/min every shift, every day.
During a concurrent observation and interview in Resident 35's room with Licensed Vocational 3 (LVN 3) on
10/15/2024 at 10:18 am, Resident 35 was awake lying in bed with an ongoing oxygen administration
through the NC from the oxygen machine. LVN 3 stated there was no sign posted on Resident 35's door
indicating oxygen was in use and that smoking was prohibited. LVN 3 stated, oxygen sign was important so
that staff/visitors would be aware that oxygen was being used and proper precautions were needed to avoid
the danger of possible fire/explosion.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, revised 3/2022,
the P&P indicated oxygen is administered to residents who need it, consistent with professional standards
of practice . and the resident's goals and preferences. Oxygen warning signs must be placed on the door of
the resident's room where oxygen is in use.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to have a full time Director of Nursing (DON) five (5)
days a week, 8 hours a day beginning 3/6/24 up to the present (10/17/24).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to significantly impact the quality of care, overall patient experience
and nursing workforce operations in the facility.
Findings:
During the entrance conference on 10/15/24 at 8:20 am, the Administrator (ADM) stated the facility had an
interim/acting Director of Nursing (DON) and was actively looking to hire a fulltime DON.
During a review of the facility's medical leave letter of the previous Director of Nursing (DON 1) dated
3/18/24, the medical leave letter indicated DON 1 would be on leave starting 3/6/24.
During a review of DON 1's resignation letter, the letter indicated DON 1's last date of employment was on
8/23/24.
During an interview on 10/17/24 at 2:53 PM, with the acting (ADON), the ADON stated there had not been
an active fulltime DON for approximately 8 months. The ADON stated as the ADON she was responsible for
the oversight of the unit and all the nursing care. The ADON stated ADON would also conduct applicant
interviews with an average of 10 applicant interviews per month. The ADON stated ADON was also on-call
on weekends in case the facility needed a Registered Nurse (RN) to administer intravenous (IV, within a
vein) medications or to start a peripheral IV line. The ADON stated that the facility did have other on-call
RNs, but due to other jobs or commitments their schedules would vary.
During the same interview on 10/17/24 at 2:53 PM with the ADON, the ADON stated she was also the
acting Director of Staff Development (ADSD). The ADON stated as the acting (ADSD) she was responsible
for conducting two days of new hire orientation from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The ADON stated new hire
orientation included providing in-services to newly hired licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants
(CNA's). The ADON stated as the acting ADSD she conducted monthly in-services as scheduled, and as
needed. The ADON stated she assisted other departments in completing portions of orientation related to
the health and safety of residents, conducting on the spot tours and orientation for new registry licensed
nurses and/or CNA's. The ADON stated she was responsible for performance evaluations for all licensed
nurses, and the performance evaluations of all CNA's, which would typically be conducted by the DSD. The
ADON stated, as the ADSD she had to conduct the performance evaluations for all CNAs. The ADON
stated the previous DSD resigned August 2024 and the facility was actively looking to hire a DSD.
During the same interview on 10/17/24 at 2:53 PM, with the ADON, the ADON stated that her official
position was the facility's Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDS). The ADON stated she had fallen behind on
several tasks, such as performance evaluations. The ADON stated she had a difficult time overseeing the
unit and was unable to actively listen and communicate with residents. The ADON stated taking multiple
roles and tasks was overwhelming and she did not have enough time in the day to complete all the tasks
required for her to do. The ADON stated, having multiple roles would impact the quality of care and would
potentially have a negative impact on residents and staff. The ADON stated, she did her MDS work from
4:00 PM to 9:00 PM (after hours) and functioned as ADON and ADSD from 7:00 AM to

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility was free of a medication
error rate of 5 percent (%) or greater during the medication pass observation for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 109). The facility had 26 opportunities of medication administration (the act of giving a
treatment) observed and three of the 26 medications administered were not in accordance with the
physician's orders, resulting in a medication error rate of 11.54%.
Residents Affected - Few
The medication errors consisted of:
a. Resident 109's Eliquis (blood thinner) and Multiple Vitamin were not administered as ordered by the
physician.
b. Resident 109's tear duct was not held with gentle pressure for one minute after administration of
Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.2% (eye drops to lower pressure in the eye)
These deficient practices placed Resident 109 at risk for adverse consequences and complications.
Cross Reference with F760
Findings:
During a review of Resident 109's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the resident was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included long term use of an anticoagulant (blood thinner),
repeated falls, and displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur (a broken right hip).
During a review of Resident 109's care plan titled Anticoagulant (medication that prevents or reduces
clotting of the blood) dated 10/12/2024, the care plan indicated to administer medications as ordered.
During a review of Resident 109's care plan titled Peripheral Vascular Disease /Deep Vein Thrombosis
(PVD, blood circulating disorder/DVT, blood clots that form in a vein in the body), dated 10/12/2024, the
care plan indicated the resident was at risk for poor circulation to lower extremities (hip to the toes) and to
administer medication (Eliquis) as ordered.
During a review of Resident 109's Order Summary Report (OSR) for October 2024, the OSR indicated the
following medications were ordered on 10/12/2024 for Resident 109:
1. Colace capsule 100 mg PO daily for bowel management (help regulate bowel movements)
2. Eliquis 2.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth (PO) daily for DVT
3. Multiple Vitamin 1 tablet by PO daily for supplements.
4. Brimonidine Tartrate ophthalmic Solution 0.2% instill 1 drop (gtts.) in both eyes in the morning.

7. Ipratropium-Albuterol solution 3mg/ per vial inhale orally TID (to prevent difficulty breathing)
Residents Affected - Few
During a medication pass observation with Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5) on 10/16/2024 at 8:16 am,
for Resident 109, LVN 5 prepared the following medications for Resident 109:
1. Colace 100 milligrams (mg) by mouth (PO)
2. Eliquis 2.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth (PO) daily.
3. Multiple Vitamin 1 tablet by PO daily.

5. Gabapentin 300 mg PO three times a day (TID)
6. Trazadone 50 mg PO TID
7. Ipratropium-Albuterol solution 3mg/ per vial inhale orally TID
During the same medication pass observation, Resident 109 took all medications inside Resident 109's
mouth, then spat all medications but the Colace capsule on to the resident's chest. Resident 109 stated, I
will take my medication, just not the gabapentin or trazadone. LVN 5 was observed picking up the
medications from Resident 109's chest and stated, I cannot give them (pills) to you because you spat them
out. LVN 5 proceeded to administer Brimonidine Tartrate; one drop into Resident 109's left and right eye.
LVN 5 did not apply gentle pressure on the resident's tear duct after every eye drop. LVN 5 administered the
Albuterol solution, walked out of Resident 109's room and placed the remaining pills (Eliquis, multi-vitamins,
gabapentin, and trazadone) into the medication waste container. LVN 5 continued to prepare medication for
another resident.
During an interview with LVN 5 on 10/16/2024 at 2:28 pm, LVN 5 stated Eliquis, multi vitamins, gabapentin,
and trazadone was not administered to Resident 109. LVN 5 stated Resident 109's Nurse Practitioner (NP,
a registered nurse with advanced training in diagnosing and treating patients) was informed of the
resident's refusal of gabapentin and trazadone. LVN 5 stated I did not tell her (NP) about the other pills
(Eliquis and Multiple Vitamins). LVN 5 stated, LVN 5 should have administered (Eliquis and Multi-vitamins)
because Eliquis is an anti-coagulant used to prevent blood clots. LVN 5 stated when administering eye
drops, the tear duct should be held for at least one minute to ensure the medication stays in the eyes. LVN
5 stated the physician's orders needed to be followed.
During an interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 10/17/2024 at 2:28 pm, RN 1 stated Eliquis should
have been administered to Resident 109 because the resident had a recent fracture (bone break) and
Eliquis thins the blood to avoid complications. RN 1 stated when administering eye drops, the tear duct
should be held down for one minute.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow safe food storage and food handling
practices for one of one kitchen (Kitchen 1) and one of one snack/nourishment refrigerator (Refrigerator 1)
in accordance with professional standards for food service safety and the facility's policies and procedures
(P&P) by failing to:
1. Label/date food items in the kitchen and in the snack/nourishment refrigerator on the unit.
2. Maintain acceptable chemical sanitizing solution (used to sanitize food contact surfaces) concentration in
the kitchen.
3. Maintain proper temperatures of the snack/nourishment refrigerator on the unit.
4. Discard expired foods in the snack/nourishment refrigerator on the unit and Resident 8's food that was
brought from home.
These deficient practices put the residents in the facility at risk for food borne illness (illness caused by the
ingestion of contaminated food or beverage), contamination of food and/or affect the palatability of the food
for the residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation of the kitchen and interview on 10/15/24 at 8:20 a.m. with the Executive
Chef (EC), the shelf above the stove had multiple spices and seasonings that included:
1. An opened Sysco (brand) Classic Salt Kosher with an orange-colored sticker indicating 9/28/24 PM and
had no open or use by dates.
2. An opened 11 oz (ounces) Sysco Imperial Ground Thyme with an orange-colored sticker indicating
8/17/24 and had no open or use by date.
3. A box of yellow potatoes, a box of yams, a box of red potatoes, a box of yellow squash that were
unlabeled and undated, stored on the bottom of a second shelf on a stainless-steel cart. The EC stated, the
date indicated on the orange-colored sticker is the receive date and the food items observed did not have
an open or use by date.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/15/24 at 8:28 a.m. with the EC inside the walk-in
refrigerator and the adjacent walk-in freezer, a 1/6 (one sixth) square tin had eight (8) peeled boiled eggs
covered in plastic wrap that had no label and undated was inside the walk-in refrigerator. An opened box of
three (3) packages of pork butt meat was on the floor inside the walk-in freezer. The EC stated, food items
should be stored at least four (4) inches above the floor. The EC stated, foods should be labeled with open
date and use by date to keep the product (food) quality and for staff to know when the food item was
opened because over time, the food item would not be good and could cause food borne illness.

Assistant (CNA) 1, Resident 8's bedside table had a box of twelve (12) oz Sprouts (store brand)
snickerdoodle cookies with seven (7) cookies inside and a half-eaten cookie on top of the box next to a
glass of milk. The box had a store sticker label Sell by [DATE]. Resident 8 stated, Resident 8's daughter
brought the cookies. CNA 1 stated residents (in general) were allowed to have food brought from home and
should be labeled. CNA 1 stated, Resident 8's cookies were already over (ten) 10 days old from the sell by
date and CNA 1 did not think that Resident 8 should be eating the cookies just in case she might get
bacteria in the cookie, mold that could cause mostly GI (gastrointestinal, refers to the organs and tract that
digest food and liquids) problems, where they can have tummy issues, they can get sick.
During an interview on 10/16/24 at 3:22 p.m. with the Acting Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated,
residents were allowed to bring food from home and Resident 8's cookies should not have been kept at the
bedside for that long, for more than a week, because cookies had milk and might get spoiled and cause
Resident 8 to get sick.
During an interview on 10/17/24 at 8:27 a.m. with [NAME] (CK) 2, CK 2 stated, when staff opened a food
item, staff would label the food item with open date and use by date so staff would know the shelf life (the
length of time for which an item remains usable or fit for consumption) of the food item.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/17/24 at 12:17 p.m. with the Relief [NAME] (RC) and
the EC, the red bucket (chemical sanitizing solution) in the cook station area of the kitchen was tested twice
with a Hydrion (brand) test strip. The test strip indicated a reading of 50 ppm (parts per million) both times.
The RC stated the red bucket solution was used to sanitize such as the food carts and to wipe down the
counters. The RC stated, the concentration should be between 200 (ppm) and 300 to ensure it's (solution)
doing its job of sanitizing. The EC stated, the reading on the test strip indicated 50 (ppm) and was not the
correct concentration to kill bacteria. The EC stated, the reading should be at 200 (ppm).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/17/24 at 3:21 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2, the facility's snack/nourishment unit refrigerator inside the Nourishment Room by the Nursing
Station had an internal temperature of thirty-one (31) degrees Fahrenheit. Inside the unit refrigerator were
multiple supply of brand name snacks and nourishments and:
1. A pot pie inside a ziploc bag marked with a resident's first name and the corresponding bed number and
was undated.
2. An unopened box of [NAME] Callender's (brand name) Chicken Pot Pie with the manufacturer's label
indicating BEST BY SEP 17, 2024 and marked with the same bed number.
LVN 2 stated, the temperature of the unit refrigerator should be between 36 and 40 (degrees Fahrenheit)
cuz if it it's too cold, it'll freeze, if it's too hot, it'll spoil. LVN 2 stated if residents ate the food, residents would
have stomach GI problems. LVN 2 stated, staff should put date and time when they received food items
brought from home and toss the food after a day or two.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Food and Supply Storage, date revised 1/2024, the P&P
indicated, all food, non-food items and supplies used in food preparation should be stored in such a manner
as to prevent contamination to maintain the safety and wholesomeness of the food for human consumption.
The P&P indicated, the sell by date is the last date that food can be sold or consumed;

Residents Affected - Some
These deficient practices had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of
infection for the residents.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 209's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 209 was admitted
to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure ( a condition when the lungs
cannot get enough oxygen into the blood), heart failure (when the heart muscle doesn't pump enough blood
) and muscle wasting and atrophy (the decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue).
During a review of Resident 209's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/9/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 209 had the capacity to make a decision.
During a review of Resident 214's AR, the AR indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses including fracture of the right femur ( break in the thigh bone), repeated falls and heart
failure.
During a review of Resident 214's H&P dated 10/17/24, the H&P indicated Resident 214 had the capacity
to make a decision.
During an observation on 10/16/24 at 8:35 AM, Licensed Vocational Nurse 4(LVN 4) removed a wrist BP
monitor from the medication cart to check Resident 209's BP, then, LVN 4 placed the used wrist BP monitor
back in the medication cart without cleaning and disinfecting.
During an observation on 10/16/24 at 8:47 AM, LVN 4 took the same wrist BP monitor that was not
disinfected from the medication cart and used it to check Resident 214's BP.
During an interview on 10/16/24 at 9:16 AM, with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated she did not disinfect the wrist BP
monitor after using it on Resident 209 and did not disinfect it before using it on Resident 214. LVN 4 stated
she needed to disinfect the BP monitor after and before each use to prevent cross contamination and the
possibility of spreading infection to the residents.
During an interview on 10/17/24 at 3:34 PM, with the Acting Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated
staff should disinfect the wrist BP monitor and other re-usable equipment before and after each use to
prevent infection spreading to other residents.
During an interview on 10/18/24 at 4:30 PM, with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated all medical
equipment in the medication cart should be cleaned and disinfected before and after each use, especially
when used between residents. The IP stated, not disinfecting BP monitor in between residents can lead to
the spread of infectious microorganisms and becomes an infection control problem.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Cleaning and Disinfection of Resident-Care Equipment, dated
9/26/2022, the P&P indicated:
a. Resident-care equipment can be a source of indirect transmission of pathogens. Reusable resident-care
equipment will be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with current CDC recommendations in order to
break the chain of infection.

b. During a review of Resident 208's AR, the AR indicated Resident 208 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnosis including heart failure, chronic kidney disease (condition characterized by a gradual
loss of kidney function over time) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (a condition that occurs when the
prostate gland [a gland in the male reproductive system that produces fluid that nourishes and transports
sperm] grows larger than normal, which can cause urinary problems).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 208's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 10/9/24, the MDS indicated Resident 208 was cognitively (the ability to think and process
information) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 208 required substantial/maximal assistance (when a
helper does more than half the effort, helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs but provides more than half the
effort) with toileting hygiene, bathing and showering self and lower body dressing.
During an observation on 10/15/24 at 9:15 AM, Resident 208 in bed A, was observed with a urinal hanging
from his bed rail with no initials and marked with bed B. Resident 209 in bed B, was observed with a urinal
hanging from his bed rail marked with bed B.
During an interview on 10/15/24 at 9:15 AM, Resident 208 stated he frequently used the urinal and
occasionally would call for assistance when he preferred going to the restroom.
During an interview on 10/16/2024 at 3:37 PM, with Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6), CNA 6 stated
Resident 208 and Resident 209 both had urinals marked with bed B. CNA 6 stated this was an infection
control issue, as both urinals could have easily gotten mixed and switched causing risk of
cross-contamination of infectious diseases. CNA 6 stated both urinals should be properly labeled with
resident's initials, room number, and bed to avoid confusion and the possibility of mixing the urinals. CNA 6
stated residents should have their individual urinals and should never be shared.
During an interview on 10/18/24 at 4:00 PM, with the IP, the IP stated urinals should always be correctly
labeled with the resident's initials and room number. The IP stated urinals should never be shared or mixed
as this can cause cross contamination of bacteria or infectious microorganisms from one person to another.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Infection and Prevention Control Program, dated 9/26/2022, the
P&P indicated the facility will maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a
safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of
communicable diseases and infections as per accepted national standards and guidelines.

Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light (a device used by a
resident to signal the need for assistance) system was within reach for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 25), as indicated on Resident 25's care plans (CP [provides direction on the type of nursing care
an individual needs that include goals of treatment, specific nursing interventions [actions, treatments,
procedures, or activities designed to meet an objective] and an evaluation plan]) and in accordance with the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 25 not having Resident 25's needs met in a timely
manner and/or Resident 25 to experience harm if Resident 25 was unable to alert staff during an
emergency.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 25 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including muscle weakness (generalized), difficulty in walking,
not elsewhere classified and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 25's CP, titled, Alteration in Bowel & Bladder Function, date initiated 5/5/22, the
CP indicated, one of the interventions was to keep the call light within reach.
During a review of Resident 25's CP, titled, At high risk for FALLS/INJURY, date initiated 5/2/22, the CP
indicated, one of the interventions was to keep call light within reach at all times and answer the call light
promptly.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 7/19/24, the MDS indicated, Resident 25's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) Summary Score
for cognitive (ability to think and process information) status was intact. The MDS indicated, Resident 25
required from substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) to setup or clean-up
assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity) on staff for activities of daily living.
During a review of Resident 25's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/4/24, the H&P indicated, Resident
25 was wheelchair bound and oriented to time, place, and person.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/15/24 at 9:34 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 in Resident 25's room, Resident 25 was sitting up in a wheelchair positioned on the right side of
Resident 25's bed. Resident 25's call light device was looped around Resident 25's left bed grab bar and
was out of reach. LVN 1 stated, Resident 25's call light device should be within Resident 25's reach, always
within reach, so Resident 25 could call for help at any time and for Resident 25's safety.
During an interview on 10/15/24 at 10:28 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated, the
call light should always be within reach. CNA 1 stated the call light should not be on the opposite side of the
bed. CNA stated the call light should be close to the residents so it would be easier for the resident to call
staff for help in case the residents needed assistance. CNA 1 stated when the call light was too far to reach
it could increase the risk for falls.
