Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide written notification to the Long-Term Care
Ombudsman (person who routinely visits the facility and advocates for the residents) for one of two sample
discharged residents (Resident 14) when Resident 14 was transferred to the acute care hospital.
This failure had the potential to result in the resident not having an advocate who could inform them of their
admission, transfer, and discharge rights and options.
Findings:
Review of Resident 14 clinical record indicated she was transferred to the acute hospital on 8/17/24. There
was no documentation in the clinical record indicating the facility notified the Ombudsman regarding this
transfer.
During an interview with the social service designee (SSD) on 9/13/24 at 1:43 p.m., she confirmed written
notification regarding the above transfer was not sent to the ombudsman. The SSD acknowledged the
resident's transfer should have been notified to Ombudsman.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Transfer, Evacuation, Relocation or
Discharge retrieved 9/2024, the P&P indicated, Notice of transfer or discharge: when the SNF transfers or
discharges a resident . the community will send a copy of the notice to a representative of the Office of the
State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive person-centered
care plans for one of eight sampled residents (Resident 12) when the resident's communication care plan
was not person-centered. This failure had the potential for inaccurate development and implementation of
person-centered care plans that would address the residents' identified concerns and needs.
Findings:
Review of Resident 12's clinical records indicated he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
myringotomy tube status (a small tube placed in the ear to treat ear infections and other ear conditions) and
bilateral presbycusis (age-related hearing loss).
During an interview on 9/09/24 at 10:38 a.m. in his room, he stated he could not hear and needed to use
his cellphone, which has a translator function as a communication tool.
Review of Resident 12's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 7/15/24 indicated he had a
brief interview of mental status (BIMS, a tool used to assess cognition) score of 12 (moderate cognitive
impairment). Section B0200 asked to check ability to hear, and code 3. Highly impaired (absence of useful
hearing) was checked. Section B0300 asked if a hearing aid or other hearing appliance was used, and
code 0. No was checked.
Review of Resident 12's care plans indicated he had a communication problem related to hearing deficit.
The interventions of the care plan did not indicate his cellphone use as a communication tool.
During an interview and record review on 9/11/24 at 2:15 p.m. with minimum data set coordinator (MDSC)
A, she verified Resident 12 was using his cellphone as a communication tool. MDSC A reviewed Resident
12's care plans and stated the care plan for the communication problem did not indicate his cellphone use
as a communication tool. MDSC A stated the care plan was not person-centered care planning.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Planning, revised 2/2021, the P&P
indicated, An initial care plan will be developed and implemented .and a summary provided to the resident
and residents representative if applicable which will include interventions to provide effective, safe and
person-centered care that meets professional standards of quality of care based on the residents history.

Provide activities to meet all resident's needs.
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 an activity program that met the
resident's needs, interests, and preferences was provided to one of eight sampled residents (Resident 11).
This failure had the potential to affect the residents' physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and
quality of life.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 11's clinical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had diagnoses including
Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to
perform simple tasks) and dementia (a decline in mental capacity affecting daily functioning).
Review of Resident 11's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 7/15/24, indicated she was
not able to complete the brief interview for mental status. It also indicated Resident 11 felt it was very
important to listen to music she liked.
During a review of Resident 11's activities care plan, the care plan indicated she has little or no activity
involvement related to immobility or physical limitations and enjoys music recitals/performers as well as
travel channels. The care plan included interventions to invite the resident to activities of interest or other
preferred room activities if unable to attend group activities and to offer daily reading and drawing materials.
During an observation from 9/09/24 to 9/11/24 in Resident 11's room, there were no books, magazines, or
drawing materials for the resident observed. There was no music or travel channel offered to the resident.
During an interview and record review on 9/11/24 at 9:12 a.m. with the activities coordinator (AC), she
reviewed Resident 11's activities care plan and stated Resident 11 was doing only social dining because
she refused all activities. The AC stated there was no documentation indicating that Resident 11 refused all
activities. The AC further verified that the care plan was not updated with social dining activity.
During an interview on 9/11/24 at 9/18 a.m. with the AC, she stated she could not locate any documentation
indicating that the facility offered room activities when Resident 11 refused to participate in group activities,
music or travel channels that the resident enjoyed, or reading or drawing materials as indicated on the
activities care plan.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Activities, revised 9/2024, the P&P
indicated, The facility must provide, based on the comprehensive assessment and care plan and the
preferences of each resident, an ongoing program to support residents in their choice of activities, both
facility sponsored group and individual activities, designed to meet the interests of and support the physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident, encouraging both independence and interaction in
the facility. The director/coordinator shall at least: c. monitor and evaluate the resident's responses to
activities and revise the approaches as appropriate.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health
care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) assessed and
discussed the cause of unplanned weight loss, updated the care plan with a measurable goal and
interventions, and provided necessary and timely interventions to maintain the acceptable weights of the
residents when there was no follow-up by the IDT after the significant weight loss for one of eight sampled
residents (Resident 8). This failure had the potential to result in being unable to evaluate the residents'
complete nutritional status and provide necessary interventions timely.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 8's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures), hemiplegia (a
condition that causes partial or complete immobility on one side of the body), and type 2 diabetes (high
blood sugar).
Review of Resident 8's minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 8/16/24 indicated he had a
brief interview of mental status (BIMS, a tool used to assess cognition) score of 15 (cognitively intact).
Section K0300 asked if the resident had weight loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more
in last 6 months, and code 2. Yes, not on physician-prescribed weight-loss regimen was checked.
Review of Resident 8's Weights and Vitals Summary indicated her weights were 163 pounds (lbs) on
8/12/24, 158.4 lbs on 8/18/24, 157 lbs on 8/25/24, 154.5 lbs on 9/01/24, and 151.8 lbs on 9/08/24.
Review of Resident 8's Nutrition/Dietary Note, dated 8/14/24, indicated the resident had a weight loss
during hospitalization, the medical record confirmed the resident had 7.7% weight loss during the last 12
days, and the registered dietitian (RD) would continue to monitor.
Review of Resident 8's Nutrition/Dietary Note, dated 9/03/24, indicated monthly weight reveals significant
weight loss since admission (-5.2%, -8.5 lbs since 8/12/24), and the RD would continue to monitor and
observe the resident at meals this week.
Review of Resident 8's Nutrition/Dietary Note, dated 9/11/24, indicated the RD observed the resident to be
reluctant to eat due to shakiness/instability, and the RD would continue to encourage the resident to eat
and suggest additional feeding support from nursing staff. The note further indicated the resident has been
provided with nutrition supplement shakes by family and has these at bedside to drink as needed.
Review of Resident 8's physician's order, dated 8/28/24, indicated she had a regular diet and regular
texture. There was no physician's order for high- calorie food or supplement.
Review of Resident 8's medical record indicated there was no documentation that the IDT meeting was
conducted for Resident 8's significant weight loss.
Review of Resident 8's care plans indicated the care plan for the nutritional/hydration risk did not indicate
additional feeding support from nursing staff or the nutrition supplement shakes provided

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their bed rails (adjustable
rigid bars attached to the side of a bed: side rails, safety rails, and grab/assist bars) policy for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 2) when there was no informed consent verification form obtained prior to
installing bed rails. This failure had the potential to result in the resident and the resident's responsible
parties (RP, individuals designated to make decisions on behalf of the residents) not being fully informed of
the use of bed rails.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/09/24 at 10:13 a.m., the bed of Resident 2 was inspected. The bed had an
upper partial bed rail on the left side.
During an interview on 9/10/24 at 11:33 a.m., minimum data set coordinator (MDSC) A stated that the
facility initiated bed rail for Resident 2 on 7/06/22, removed on 4/25/24, and reinstalled on 5/06/24.
Review of Resident 2's physician's order, dated 5/06/24, indicated she use side rails assist bar on the left
side of the bed to increase mobility (movement), support self during ADL care, turn or reposition, and
provide a feeling of comfort and security.
Review of Resident 2's Bed Rail Risk Data Collection Tool, dated 7/07/22, indicated quarter top bed rails
were initiated on 7/06/22.
Review of Resident 2's clinical record indicated there was no informed consent verification form obtained
prior to installing bed rails on 7/06/22.
During an interview and record review on 9/10/24 at 2:07 p.m. with MDSC A, she reviewed Resident 2's
informed consent verification form for bed rails. MDSC A confirmed that there was no informed consent
verification form obtained prior to installing bed rails on 7/06/22. MDSC A acknowledged that the facility
should have obtained an informed consent verification form prior to installing bed rails.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Side Rails/Assist Bar, dated 4/2017, the
P&P indicated, The physician must be notified to give informed consent to the resident or resident
representative. The nurse will verify with the resident or resident representative that informed consent has
been given and document on the Verification of Informed Consent Form.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document administration of controlled
medications (medications controlled by the government because they may be abused or cause addiction)
on the controlled medication accountability sheet (count sheet) for one resident (Resident 8). This failure
compromised the facility's ability to ensure accurate administration of medications.
Findings:
During controlled medications accountability check on 9/09/24 at 10:50 a.m. with registered nurse (RN) B,
Resident 8's controlled medication accountability sheet indicated the remaining count of lacosamide (an
anticonvulsant) 100 milligrams (mg, unit dose of measurement) was 7, but the medication stock count was
6 in a bottle container. RN B stated she counted controlled medications during the shift change this
morning but did not open the bottle container to count lacosamide.
Review of Resident 8's physician's order, dated 8/12/24, indicated lacosamide 100 mg by mouth two times
a day for seizure (abnormal electrical activity in brain).
During an interview and record review with registered nurse (RN) B on 9/09/24 at 11:15 a.m., she
confirmed the above observation. RN B stated the evening shift nurse did not document when giving one
dose of lacosamide 100 mg on 9/08/24 around 5:00 p.m. RN B acknowledged the licensed nurses should
have document it when they administered the medications.
During an interview with the DON on 9/12/24 at 11:00 a.m., she acknowledged the licensed nurses should
have document administration of controlled medications on the controlled medication accountability sheet
when the medications are administered. The DON further acknowledged the licensed nurses should have
count controlled medications during shift change.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Controlled Substance Medication Orders,
dated 1/2023, the P&P indicated, Each controlled substance medication order is documented in the
resident's medical record with the date, time, and signature of the person receiving the prescription.

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 eight sampled residents
(Resident 66), was free of significant medication error, when the physician order for the Lasix (a diuretic,
used to reduce fluid retention) medication, of Resident 66 was not followed.
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to affect the health and general well-being of the resident.
Findings:
During an observation and interview with Resident 66 on 9/9/24 at 12:35 p.m., Resident 66 was in her bed
with the head of her bed elevated at 90 degrees. Resident 66 was eating her lunch. She verbalized that her
Lasix medication was wrongly given last week. The nurses gave it to her three times per day instead of
three times per week.
Review of the admission record (a document that contains important information about a resident's
admission to a healthcare facility) of Resident 66 indicated, Resident 66 was re-admitted to the skilled
nursing facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute pulmonary edema (a medical emergency that
occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe), chronic diastolic congestive heart
failure (a condition that comes on slowly with age, where the left ventricle is not able to fill properly with
blood) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult onset, high levels of sugar in the blood) without complications.
Her brief interview for mental status (BIMS, mandatory tool used to screen and identify the cognitive
condition of residents) score was 15 (which suggests that cognition was intact), taken on 9/3/24.
Review of the physician orders of Resident 66 indicated, Resident 66 had an order of Lasix 20 milligram
(mg, a unit of mass or weight) oral tablet by mouth, one time a day every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
related to acute pulmonary edema, ordered on 9/3/24.
Review of the medication administration record (MAR, used to document medications taken by each
resident in a treatment facility) of Resident 66, it was indicated Lasix 20 mg oral tablet by mouth, was given
three times a day on 9/4/24, 9/5/24, 9/6/24 and 9/7/24 to Resident 66.
During the interview with registered nurse B (RN B) on 9/10/24 at 1:18 p.m., RN B verified the medication
error for the Lasix 20 mg oral tablet of Resident 66. RN B acknowledged that the Lasix 20 mg oral tablet of
Resident 66 was given three times per day on 9/4/24, 9/5/24, 9/6/24 and 9/7/24 and the Lasix order of
Resident 66 was, Lasix 20 mg oral tablet by mouth, one time a day every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
ordered on 9/3/24. RN B then stated that the physician was already notified of the medication error of
Resident 66.
During the interview with the minimum data set coordinator A (MDSC A) on 9/12/24 at 2:35 p.m., MDSC A
verified the medication error for the Lasix 20 mg oral tablet of Resident 66. MDSC A stated that the Lasix
20 mg oral tablet of Resident 66 was given three times per day on 9/4/24, 9/5/24, 9/6/24 and 9/7/24. MDSC
confirmed the physician order was Lasix 20 mg oral tablet by mouth, one time a day every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.

updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that recipe for making puree
was being followed when the executive chef did not follow the recipe for making chicken teriyaki puree. This
failure had the potential to result in decreased palatability that could lead to decrease in food intake for the
2 residents with puree diet order out of the skilled nursing facility census of 15.
Findings:
During the observation of making puree (smooth, crushed, or blended food that has the consistency of a
creamy paste or liquid) with executive chef (EC), on 9/11/24 at 11:32 a.m., EC was making chicken teriyaki
(grilled or broiled chicken after being soaked in a seasoned soy sauce marinade) puree. EC put 12 ounces
(oz, unit of weight) of chicken teriyaki into the robo coupe blender, added 3 oz of milk and then pureed
them. EC then checked the consistency of the pureed chicken teriyaki, and added 2 oz more of milk, then
pureed them again. EC placed the pureed chicken teriyaki in the steamed table food container after.
Review of the facility's undated, Pureed Recipe, indicated, Combine 4 oz of menued protein and 1 oz of
milk in robo coupe blender until smooth and pudding consistency. Place in steam table pan and heat to a
minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds. Serve per spread sheet. The recipe did not indicate to
add 2 more oz of milk after already putting 3 oz of milk for the 12 oz of chicken teriyaki.
During a concurrent record review and interview with EC on 9/11/24 at 2:07 p.m., EC verified that the
recipe for making chicken teriyaki puree was not followed. EC further verified that the recipe did not mention
to add 2 more oz of milk after putting 3 oz of milk already for the 12 oz of chicken teriyaki, to be pureed.
During a concurrent record review and interview with the registered dietitian (RD), on 9/12/24 at 11:02 a.m.,
RD verified that the executive chef should have followed the recipe for making chicken teriyaki puree but it
was not followed. RD further verified that the recipe did not mention to add 2 more oz of milk after putting 3
oz of milk already for the 12 oz chicken teriyaki and RD added that she would check on the recipe for
making puree meats.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Resident Food Services: Modified Texture Foods, revised on 1/2024
indicated, Provide a standardized process for modified texture foods to meet community-approved diet
guidelines and to assure palatability, flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Foods requiring modification to a
puree texture will have a smooth texture. Foods requiring modification to other levels will be provided per
the guidelines established by the community and approved in the diet manual. Food thickening agents will
be used when necessary to obtain proper consistency. Follow thickening recipe

Inform resident or representatives choice to enter into binding arbitration agreement and right to refuse.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one out of five sampled residents
(Resident 6), who signed the binding arbitration agreement (BAA, contract between the facility and resident
requiring disputes to be resolved by a neutral arbitrator [third party decision-maker] instead of a judge or
jury in court) understood the BAA prior to signing.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure posed the risk for the resident to make uninformed decisions regarding the right to file an
appeal if there was any allegations of medical malpractice.
Findings:
A review of facility-provided document, it indicated there were five residents (Residents 1, 6, 10, 65, and
66) currently residing in the facility who have entered into a binding arbitration agreement on or after
9/16/19.
During an interview with Resident 6 on 9/11/24 at 11:09 a.m., Resident 6 stated he was not aware he had a
choice not to sign the BAA during admission. Resident 6 stated, I didn't feel pressured, but I felt I had to
sign everything. I just want to be here. Resident 6 also stated, During the admission there were a lot of
papers, I fell asleep literally. Resident 6 also stated he was not aware he had the right to terminate or
withdraw from the agreement within 30 days of signing. When asked if arbitration agreement was explained
in a way Resident 6 understood, Resident 6 stated, I don't remember. I don't know if I have a copy of the
arbitration agreement.
A review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 8/13/24, the MDS indicated Resident 6 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, 13 to 15 points
suggests that cognition is intact) score of 15.
A review of Resident 6's Binding Arbitration Agreement (BAA) dated 8/12/24, the Binding Arbitration
Agreement indicated, Resident 6 and facility representative, Social Services Designee (SSD) D signed the
BAA.
During an interview and record review with Activities Coordinator (AC) on 9/11/24 at 1:32 p.m., AC
confirmed the signature on a BAA for another resident (Resident 10) dated 5/17/24. AC stated that
everyone that was admitted was offered a BAA. AC also stated that if a resident was sleepy during the
explanation of the BAA, AC would have stop and would not let Resident 6 sign the form.
During an interview on 9/11/24 at 1:48 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated BAA was new and
recent. DON also stated that DON would not let Resident 6 sign any form if the resident was sleepy.
A review of facility Policies and Procedures (P&P) titled SNF Admissions Policies revised November 2023,
the P&P indicated 23. Requirements for Pre-Dispute Agreements a. The community must ensure that the
agreement is explained to the resident and their representative in a form and manner that they understand,
including in a language the resident and their representative understands, and that the resident
acknowledges that they understand the agreement.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to implement infection control practices for one of
eight sampled residents (Resident 165) when staff did not follow the facility's handwashing/hand hygiene
policy. This failure had the potential to spread infection in the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a medication administration observation on 9/10/24 at 4:09 p.m., Resident 165 tried to walk out from
her room when Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) B wiped a glucometer (a device to check blood sugar).
LVN B went into the room and assisted Resident 165 with her bare hands.
During an observation on 9/10/24 at 4:13 p.m., Resident 165 with LVN B's assistance came out of the
room. LVN B picked the glucometer, put it in its container, and stored the container in the medication cart
without performing hand hygiene.
During an interview on 9/10/24 at 4:15 p.m. with LVN B, she confirmed the above observation. LVN B stated
she should have performed hand hygiene before and after assisting Resident 165 for infection control.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised
10/2021, the P&P indicated, Hand hygiene is the primary means to prevent the spread of infections. Use an
ABHR (alcohol-based hand rub), or alternatively, soap and water for the following situations, even if gloves
are used: immediately before touching a resident; after contact with a resident. Single-use disposable
gloves should be used: when in contact with a resident.
