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 complete a comprehensive minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) admission assessment and the required discharge (DC) assessment in a timely manner for two of two residents (Residents 39 and 81). This failure resulted in Residents 39 and 81's admission and discharge assessment not completed within the time requirement and had a potential to result in inappropriate care planning and intervention.
Findings: 1.Review of Resident 39's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/27/2025, indicated Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (a medical condition that affects brain function, leading to a wide range of symptoms like confusion, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, seizures, and muscle weakness), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition which affects the way the body processes blood sugar), and unspecified dementia (decline in mental capacity affecting daily function), severe, with other behavioral disturbance. Review of Resident 39's list of MDS assessments indicated the following: - Admission/5-day assessment dated [DATE], indicated it was completed and signed by registered nurse (RN) on 12/4/2024; and - DC assessment-return anticipated dated 11/18/2024, indicated it was completed and signed by RN on 12/8/2024. During a concurrent interview with the minimum data set coordinator (MDSC) and record review on 3/26/2025 at 10:23 a.m., the MDSC reviewed Resident 39's Admission/5-day assessment and DC assessment return anticipated. MDSC confirmed both assessments were completed late. The MDSC stated Resident 39's Admission/5-day assessment should have been completed on 11/27/2024, which was the thirteenth day from Resident 39's admission. The MDSC confirmed she should have just completed a combined 5-day and DC assessment return anticipated instead of completing them separately since Resident 39 stayed at the facility for only 5 days. The MDSC stated the DC assessment should have been completed on 12/2/2024, which was the fourteenth day of Resident 39's DC. The MDSC further stated, she was on vacation on November 2024, and it was the other MDS nurse who completed both assessments. 2. Review of Resident 81's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/27/2025, indicated, Resident 81 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypo-osmolality (refers to a low concentration of solutes [a substance that is dissolved in a solution] in the body's fluids, particularly the blood ), and hyponatremia (when the amount of sodium in the blood is too low), and parkinsonism (a disease that include symptoms of slowness of movements, muscle rigidity, involuntary tremors/shaking and impaired balance and posture). Review of Resident 81's list of MDS assessments indicated the following: - There was no DC MDS assessment completed for Resident 81 when Resident 81 discharged on

Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a significant change in status assessment (SCSA) was completed within 14 days after a significant change in the resident's physical or mental condition had been determined for one of 18 sampled residents (Resident 11). This failure had the potential of not providing the appropriate care and services to Resident 11.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings: Review of Resident 11's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/27/2025, indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses of nondisplaced supracondylar fracture without intracondylar extension of lower end of left femur (broken thigh bone [femur] just above the knee, where the bone is broken but remains in its normal alignment, and the fracture doesn't extend into the knee joint), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a condition which affects the way the body processes blood sugar), dementia(a group of symptoms affecting thinking and social abilities interfering with daily functioning), other chronic (something that continues over an extended period of time) pain, and retention of urine (a condition in which the patient is unable to empty all the urine from the bladder). Review of Resident 11's clinical record titled, SBAR [Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation - an assessment tool used to facilitate prompt and appropriate communication of a problem]-Fall Report, dated 1/11/2025, it indicated Resident 11 had an un-witnessed fall. Further review, there was an interdisciplinary (IDT, team composed of members from different departments involved in resident's care) follow up which revealed, Resident found lying on the floor inside his room. He said he is trying to get his wallet. Denies hitting head. No injury noted. Review of Resident 11's clinical record titled, ED [emergency department] Provider Notes, dated 1/16/2025, it indicated, Resident 11 was transferred to ED. Further review indicated, BIBA [brought in by ambulance] for c/o [complained of] bilateral [both] femur fractures. Both fractures above the knee Per EMS [emergency medical services] report .Pt [patient] had a fall on Saturday and noted swelling and pain the next morning (Sunday) Xray showed fractures per EMS report . Resident 11 was transferred back to the facility on 1/17/2025 with diagnoses including closed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of distal end of left and right femur without intracondylar extension and acute (severe, or intense) pain of both knees. During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 11 inside his room on 3/24/2025 at 9:08 a.m., Resident 11 was in bed, with urine bag hanged at the lower part of the bed, and a floor mat was located at the left side of his bed. Resident 11's bed was positioned in a regular height. Resident 11 stated he was okay. During another observation on 3/25/2025 at 8:33 a.m., inside Resident 11's room, Resident 11 was in bed, asleep, urine bag was hanged at the lower part of the bed, floor mat was located at the left side of the bed, and the bed was positioned in a regular height. During an interview with licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E) on 3/25/2025 at 8:35 a.m., LVN E confirmed Resident 11 used to attend group activities prior to his diagnosis of fracture. LVN E stated they allowed Resident 11 to stay in bed for comfort.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
During an interview with certified nursing assistant J (CNA J) on 3/26/2025 at 1:39 p.m., CNA J stated Resident 11 used to attend activities in the social dining room. CNA J further stated Resident 11 preferred to stay in bed after the fall.
Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent interview with the director of nursing (DON) and record review on 3/27/2025 at 9:43 a.m., the DON reviewed Resident 11's SBAR on 1/11/2025, ED report, and 1/2025 medication administration record (MAR). DON confirmed Resident 11 had a fall on 1/11/2025 and sustained fractures to bilateral lower part of his femur. The DON further confirmed on 1/28/2025, there was an increased in Resident 11's Methadone (an opioid to treat moderate to severe pain) order from 2.5 milligram (mg - unit of measurement) twice daily to 5 mg twice daily and new order of hydrocodone-acetaminophen (a potent controlled medication for pain) 10-325 mg one tablet every 6 hours due to pain on his knees. During an interview with therapy director (TD) on 3/27/2025 at 10:19 a.m., TD stated Resident 11 was totally dependent with most of activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) even prior to the fall. TD confirmed Resident 11 required a hoyer lift (a mechanical device used to lift and/or transfer a person from place to place) transfer prior to the fall and could tolerate sitting up on a wheelchair. During a concurrent interview with the minimum data set coordinator (MDSC) and record review on 3/28/2025 at 10:30 a.m., the MDSC reviewed Resident 11's list of minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessments and confirmed there was no SCSA completed since January 11, 2025. The MDSC stated they would complete a SCSA if there were at least 2 or more decline or improvement in resident's mobility or status. MDSC stated Resident 11 had no change in his functional mobility but due to his new fractures in January, increased pain and inability to attend group activities, the MDSC confirmed they should have completed a SCSA. The MDSC further stated, Resident 11's changes should have been discussed with the IDT when he came back from the hospital. During an interview with the activity assistant (AA) on 3/28/2025 at 1:11 p.m., the AA confirmed Resident 11 used to attend their morning activities but lately, they were just doing room visits. The AA stated Resident 11 couldn't tolerate when seated on a wheelchair. Review of Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (CMS's LTCF RAI - a guide for facility staff to existing coding and transmission) Manual 3.0 Version 1.19.1, dated 10/2024, indicated, The SCSA is a comprehensive assessment for a resident that must be completed when the IDT has determined that a resident meets the significant change guidelines for either major improvement or decline .A significant change is a major decline or improvement in a resident's status that: 1. Will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions, the decline is not considered self-limiting; 2. Impacts more than one area of the resident's health status; and 3. Requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision of the care plan .When a resident's status changes and it is not clear whether the resident meets the SCSA guidelines, the nursing home may take up to 14 days to determine whether the criteria are met. After the IDT has determined that the resident meets the significant change guidelines, the nursing home should document the initial identification of a significant change in the resident's status in the clinical record.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a baseline care plan was completed within 48 hours of admission for one of two residents (Resident 50). This failure had the potential for the resident and/or responsible party (RP) to be unaware of the plan of care.
Findings: During a review of Resident 50's clinical record, it indicated Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (a disease that include symptoms of slowness of movements, muscle rigidity, involuntary tremors/shaking and impaired balance and posture) and history of falling. During a review of Resident 50's care plan admission Baseline it was initiated on 3/25/25. The admission baseline care plan was developed six days after Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 50's interdisciplinary team (IDT- a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) admission assessment dated , 3/20/25 was incomplete, there were missing Resident signature, and representative signature. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/28/25 at 2:43 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 50's care plan admission Baseline and IDT admission assessment. The DON confirmed admission Baseline was initiated on 3/25/25, 6 days after Resident 50 was admitted and the IDT admission assessment was incomplete. The DON stated baseline care plan or admission baseline plan should be done within 48 hours upon admission. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Baseline Care Plan, revised date 9/18/2024, the P&P indicated, 1. The baseline care plan will: a. Be developed within 48 hours of resident's admission .3. A supervising nurse shall verify within 48 hours that a baseline care plan has been developed .6. The person providing the written summary of the baseline care plan shall: a. Obtain a signature from the resident/representative to verify that the summary was provided .

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement individualized, resident-centered, care plans for seven of 18 sampled residents (Residents 62, 11, 68, 91, 40, 59, and 98) when: 1. Resident 62's diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was not addressed; 2. Resident 11's new diagnosis of closed nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of distal end of left and right femur without intracondylar extension (broken thigh bone [femur] just above the knee, where the bone is broken but remains in its normal alignment, and the fracture doesn't extend into the knee joint), was not developed and implemented since 1/17/2025, and fall care plan intervention was not implemented; 3. Bed rail (also known as side rail, a barrier attached to the side of bed, designed to prevent falls or assist with mobility) care plan used for Resident 68 was not developed; 4. Resident 91's fall care plan intervention was not implemented; 5. Resident 40's Left and Right heel pressure injury (also known as bedsores, pressure sores, or pressure ulcers, are areas of skin and underlying tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure, often occurring over bony prominences.) care plans were not developed; 6. Resident 59's care plan for pressure injury was not patient centered; and 7. Resident 98's MASD (MASD (Moisture-Associated Skin Damage, a term referring to inflammation and/or erosion of the skin caused by prolonged exposure to moisture sources) care plan were not developed. These failures had the potential to result in the inability to identify the resident's individualized care issues and implement person-centered care plans to address their respective identified needs.
Findings: 1. A review of Resident 62's clinical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Assessment (MDS - an assessment tool) dated 3/3/25, indicated PTSD under Psychiatric/Mood Disorder in Section I - Active Diagnoses. A review of Resident 62's care plans indicated there was no care plan developed to address the diagnosis of PTSD. During an interview and concurrent record review with the minimum data set coordinator (MDSC) on 3/8/25 at 1:25 p.m., Resident 62's MDS was reviewed. The MDSC confirmed that Resident 62 had a PTSD diagnosis listed on her admission record facesheet (document containing resident's key information.) The MDSC reviewed Resident 62's care plans and confirmed a PTSD care plan had not been developed and

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two residents (Resident 91) who received dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed) treatment received care in accordance with professional standards of practice when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Staff did not follow Resident 91's fluid restriction (limiting liquids) order; 2. There was no documentation of Resident 91's fluid intake each shift for staff to determine if Resident 91 have met the fluid restriction order; and 3. There was no record of Resident 91's intake and output (I&O - the measurement of the fluids and food that enter [intake] and leave [output] the body) monitoring. This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 91's fluid overload (a condition where there is an excessive amount of fluid in the body) or dehydration (a condition that occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, resulting in a lack of water in the body).
Findings: 1. Review of Resident 91's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/27/2025, indicated Resident 91 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including end stage renal disease (ESRD irreversible kidney failure), type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy (with nerve damage), congestive heart failure (CHF-a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), and dependence on dialysis (a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly). Review of Resident 91's admission minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment dated [DATE], it indicated Resident 91's brief interview for mental status (BIMS - an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) score was 13 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment, 13-15 patient is cognitively intact). During an observation on 3/24/2025 at 11:25 a.m., inside Resident 91's room, Resident 91 was sharing the room with one resident. Resident 91 was seated on his wheelchair and observed a posting of his care instruction posted at the wall above his HOB. It indicated, [Resident 91's room number and full name], FLUID RESTRICTION.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate accountability of controlled drugs (medications that can be easily abused and are under strict government control) and document medication administration in accordance with the facility policy and procedures (P&P) for three out of four residents (Resident 38, Resident 56, and Resident 59). This failure had the potential for medication errors and controlled drug abuse or diversion (when healthcare providers obtain or use prescription medicines illegally).
Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 38's clinical record, it indicated Resident 38 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (mental disorder characterized by periods of elevated mood and depression, often with poor decision-making). During a review of Resident 38's physician's order, dated 2/18/25, it inlcuded order for morphine sulfate (controlled medication for pain) tablet 15 mg (milligram, unit of measurement), 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours as needed for severe pain. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/26/25 at 3:51 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), a review of Resident 38's Controlled Drug Record (CDR) for morphine sulfate 15 mg tablet and the March 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated, on 3/15/25 at 10:18 and 3/23/25 at 2:51 p.m., the nursing staff signed out one tablet on CDR but did not document their administration on the MAR. The DON confirmed the findings and stated the nurse should sign the MAR after the medication administration. 2. During a review of Resident 56's clinical record, it indicated Resident 56 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of thymus (a cancerous tumor that originates in the thymus gland, located in the upper chest behind the breastbone). During a review of Resident 56's physician's order, dated 7/4/24, it included Percocet (controlled medication for pain) 5-325 mg (milligram, unit of measurement), 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for severe pain. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/26/25 at 3::56 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), a review of Resident 56's Controlled Drug Record (CDR) for Percocet 5-325 mg and the March 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated, on 3/16/25 at 10:00 a.m. and 3/23/25 at 8:00 a.m., the nursing staff signed out one tablet on CDR but did not document their administration on the MAR. The DON confirmed the findings and stated the nurse should sign the MAR and CDR after medication administration. 3. During a review of Resident 59's clinical record indicated Resident 59 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of cells that invade and spread to other parts of the body) and muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 59's physician's order dated 2/20/2025, it included oxycodone (a potent controlled medication for pain)5 mg (milligram, unit of measurement), 1 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for severe pain

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to act upon the facility's Consultant Pharmacist's (CP) recommendations during the Medication Regimen Review (MRR, a monthly thorough evaluation by the consulting pharmacist of a resident's medication regimen, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication) to address the recommendation/ irregularities for the month of December 1, 2024 to January 31, 2025's MRR for 2 of 4 sampled residents (Resident 2 and 32). This deficient practice had the potential to result in adverse medication outcomes and for potential unnecessary medications for Resident 2 and Resident 32.
Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 2's medical record, it indicated Resident 2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (mental disorder characterized by periods of elevated mood and depression, often with poor decision-making), gout (painful form of arthritis), hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat particles [lipids] in the blood), and atrial flutter (a very fast heart rhythm that can lead to an increased risk of stroke due to blood clot formation). Review of Resident 2's physician order dated 1/1/25 indicated an order for risperidone (drug used to treat bipolar disorder) oral tablet 0.5 mg (milligram-unit of measurement), give 1 tablet at bedtime, and orders dated 12/2/24 for allopurinol (used to treat gout) oral tablet 100 mg give one tablet by mouth in the morning, and atorvastatin calcium (medication used to lower fat levels in the blood) oral tablet 40 mg give one tablet by mouth at bedtime. On 12/2/24 Resident 2 was also prescribed Eliquis (used to prevent and treat blood clots) oral tablet 2.5 mg give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day. During a review of the MRR for Resident 2, dated 12/1/24-1/31/25, the MRR indicated the CP's acknowledgment of Resident 2 receiving risperidone and its association with dyslipidemia (abnormally high levels of fats in the blood) but did not have documentation of a fasting (not eating food or drink for a period of time) lipid panel (a blood test that measures levels of fats in the bloodstream) recorded in the medical records within the previous twelve months. The CP noted the physician's orders for atorvastatin and allopurinol with a fasting lipid panel was last monitored in October 2023. The CP's recommendation for monitoring of uric acid (a waste product left over from normal chemical process in the body), and fasting lipid panel was signed off by the facility's physician but not dated. The CP requested clarification of concerns about the medication administration record, prescriber order sheets and recommendation to monitor bleeding for Resident 2 were also not signed and dated by the facility's physician and/or nursing staff. 2. Review of Resident 32's medical record indicated Resident 32 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including depression disorder (a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness or loss of interest), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing food or liquids). Further review of the record indicated Resident 32 had a physician's order dated 2/6/25, for duloxetine (medication used to treat depression) 30 mg one capsule by mouth one time a day.

Review of the MRR for Resident 32, dated 12/1/24-1/31/25, it indicated a recommendation to the attending physician to discontinue duplicate orders of glycolax and Miralax, to clarify items on the medication administration record (MAR) and prescriber order sheet, to identify and monitor side effects and target behaviors for duloxetine. The facility's physician and nursing staff did not provide a response to the recommendations. The portions of the report designated for the physician and nursing staff to provide a response were left blank. During an interview and concurrent record review on 3/26/25 at 12:12 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed the MRR's dated 12/1/24-1/31/25 for Resident 2 and Resident 32. The DON stated the physician and nursing staff did not complete the documents in response to the CP's recommendations. The DON stated the CP's reports are forwarded to the physician for review, but the physician failed to sign and date the reports for both residents. The DON could not provide a MRR binder for the year 2024/2025 for review and stated paper copies of the MRR for 2024 and monthly visits by the CP could not be located anywhere in the facility. The DON also verified CP reports were uploaded into the electronic medical records periodically for residents at the facility during the year of 2024. During an interview on 3/26/25 at 12:30 p.m., with the Regional Director of Clinical Operation (RDCO), the RDCO stated the MRR binder and all the documents of the CP's monthly visits for the year 2024 and previous years were somewhere in the facility but could not find them. During a telephone interview on 3/28/2025 at 1:45 p.m., with the facility's CP, the CP stated medication record reviews and visits were done monthly. The CP stated reports were faxed to the DON and recommended the facility review the monthly MRR report and notify resident's physician of any irregularities and recommendations as indicated on the monthly MRR report. During a review of the facility Policy and Procedure titled, Medication Regimen Review, revised 6/5/2024, indicated: .9. Facility should encourage physician/prescriber or other responsible parties receiving the MRR and the director of nursing to act upon the recommendations contained in the MRR. 9.1. For those issues that require physician/prescriber intervention, facility should encourage physician/prescriber to either accept and act upon the recommendations contained within the MRR or reject all or some of the recommendations contained in the MRR and provide an explanation as to why the recommendation was rejected, as outlined by the State Operations Manual Appendix PP. 9.2 The attending physician should document in the resident's health record that the identified irregularity has been reviewed and what, if any, action has been taken to address it. 9.2.1. If the attending physician/prescriber has decided to make no change in the medication, the attending physician should document the rationale in the residents' health record . 13. The attending physician/prescriber should address the consultant pharmacist's recommendations no later than their next scheduled visit to the facility to assess the resident, per facility policy and state or federal regulations. 14. Facility should maintain readily available copies of MRRs on file in Facility as part of the residents' permanent health record and should be readily available for review. 15. If documentation of the consultant pharmacist's findings is not in the active record, it is maintained within the facility and is readily available for review.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two out of 18 sampled residents (Resident 68 and Resident 38) were free from unnecessary psychotropic (drugs that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medications when: 1. Resident 68 continued to receive Quetiapine (a type of drug [antipsychotic] used to treat symptoms of psychosis) without an updated abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS - a clinical rating scale used to assess the severity and frequency of involuntary movements, such as those that can occur as a side effect of certain medications, such as antipsychotics) completed, and there were no non-pharmacological interventions (treatments or strategies that aim to improve health or manage conditions without using medications, focusing instead on physical, psychological, or behavioral approaches) implemented for Resident 68's Quetiapine use; and 2. Resident 38 received Quetiapine without target behavior monitoring. These failures had the potential for increased risks associated with the use of antipsychotic medications that could negatively affect the residents physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
Findings: 1a. Review of Resident 68's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/26/2025, indicated Resident 68 was readmitted to the facility with diagnoses including dementia, severe, with other behavioral disturbance (unusual, disruptive, or problematic behaviors that deviate from typical patterns and cause distress or impairment in daily functioning), epilepsy (a brain disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures[a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness]) , and delusional disorders (a type of mental health condition in which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined). Review of Resident 68's quarterly minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment dated [DATE], it indicated Resident 68 had memory problems with long-term (memory that involves the storage and recall of information over a long period of time [as days, weeks, or years] and short-term memory (capacity to keep a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time). Review of Resident 68's clinical record titled Order Summary Report, date ordered 3/10/2025, indicated, QUEtiapine Fumarate Tablet 50 MG Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for Mood disorder m/b [manifested by] yelling, striking out.

CNA L stated she was a sitter (a caregiver who provides companionship and supervision to patients who need constant observation or assistance, often due to medical conditions or behavioral issues that could pose a risk) for Resident 68 because she was at risk of falling. During an interview with licensed vocational nurse E (LVN E) on 3/26/2025 at 8:41 a.m., LVN E stated Resident 68 had an aggressive behavior and used to wander at the facility. LVN E confirmed Resident 68 had a sitter to prevent her from wandering and elopement (the act of a patient leaving a healthcare facility without authorization or supervision). Review of Resident 68's assessment titled, Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) Evaluation, indicated these assessments were completed on 1/31/2023 and 8/3/2024. During a concurrent interview with the director of nursing (DON) and record review of Resident 68's AIMS Evaluation on 3/26/2025 at 2:17 p.m., the DON confirmed Resident 68's latest AIMS Evaluation was completed on 1/31/2023 and 8/3/2024. The DON stated AIMS evaluation should have been completed following the MDS assessment, which was quarterly. The DON confirmed there were no AIMS Evaluation completed in between 1/31/2023 and 8/3/2024 and after 8/3/2024. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Psychotropic Medication [used to treat mental health disorders like antidepressants, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic, stimulants, and mood stabilizers] Management, dated 12/2017, indicated, If antipsychotic medications are used, an AIMS assessment will be completed upon admission, at the onset of a new order, every six months, and if medication dose is increased. 1b. Review of Resident 68's clinical records like medication administration record (MAR - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) and nursing progress notes, indicated no documentation that Resident 68 received any non-pharmacological interventions to help managed her behaviors. During a concurrent interview with the DON and record review of Resident 68's MAR and nursing progress notes on 3/27/2025 at 9:15 a.m., the DON confirmed there were no documented non-pharmacological interventions provided to Resident 68. The DON stated non-pharmacological interventions should have been provided to Resident 68 to manage her behavior and it should have been documented in the MAR. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Use of Psychotropic Medication, dated 8/2024, indicated, Residents who use psychotropic drugs shall also receive non-pharmacological interventions to facilitate reduction or discontinuation of the psychotropic drugs. 2. A review of Resident 38's clinical record indicated Resident 38 was admitted to the facility with diagnosis including bipolar disorder (mental disorder characterized by periods of elevated mood and depression, often with poor decision-making). Review of Resident 38's physician's order dated 2/19/2025 included an order for Quetiapine 200 milligram (mg, unit of measure), give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for bipolar.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 6.67% when two medication errors occurred out of 30 opportunities during the medication administration for two out of nine residents (Resident 26 and Resident 155). The failures resulted in the nursing staff not following physician's orders and the facility's policy and procedures (P&P), which had the potential for the residents not receiving the medications full therapeutic effects, and could also result to complications of the medications.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings: 1. During the medication administration observation on 3/24/25 at 4:42 p.m., Registered Nurse H (RN H) was observed preparing and administering 2 medications, tablet and one liquid supplement to Resident 26. Included in the medications was carvedilol (class of medications called beta-blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure) 3.125 mg (milligram, unit of measurement). RN H checked the blood pressure (BP) on Resident 26's right arm using manual BP apparatus (a machine that measures blood pressure) after checking, RN H handed the medication to Resident 26 then Resident 26 took the medications with water. RN H did not check Resident 26's pulse rate (PR) prior to medication administration. During a concurrent interview and record review shortly after the observation, on 3/24/25 at 9:53 p.m., RN H clicked the carvedilol on Resident 26's Medication Administration Record (MAR), it indicated a requirement for BP and PR. When RN H was asked if the PR was checked for Resident 26, RN H stated the PR was not checked before administering the carvedilol. RN H confirmed carvedilol has the requirements on the MAR to check the BP and PR before administering. Review of Resident 26's March 2025 MAR, it indicated a physician order, dated 7/27/24, for carvedilol 3.125 mg 1 tablet by mouth BID (two times a day) with meals for hypertension (high blood pressure) and also indicated on the MAR, BP and PR were being checked. During an interview on 3/28/25 at 9:54 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated for BP medications the nurse should have checked the BP and PR prior to administering medications. The DON further stated it's a standard of practice.

Findings: 1. During an initial tour of the kitchen on 3/24/25 at 9:15 a.m., accompanied by the dietary manager (DM), there were 36 insulated plate covers observed to be stacked on a metal wire rack. The insulated plate covers were stacked inside of one another and were wet inside and outside of the plate covers' surfaces. The DM confirmed the insulated plate covers were wet and she stated they should have been air dried before being stacked and stored. According to the 2022 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Code, Section 4-901.11 Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required, After cleaning and sanitizing, equipment and utensils: shall be air-dried . According to the FDA Food Code 2022 4-903 Storing, Clean equipment and utensils shall be stored in a self-draining position that allows air drying. 2. During an observation on 3/24/25 at 9:29 a.m., accompanied by the DM, there were 3 brown bags that were unlabeled and undated in the reach-in refrigerator. There was the word Tuna marked on the outside of each bag and a blank label affixed to the bags. The bags each contained a tuna sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap with no identified markings or date. The DM stated the lunches were prepared in the morning for dialysis residents who are not in the facility over the lunch meal service. The DM confirmed the label was blank and stated the bag lunch and the tuna sandwich should be dated and labelled. A review of the facility policy titled Food Safety in Receiving and Storage indicated food that is repackaged will be labeled with the name of the contents and dated with the date it was transferred to the new container.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their Antibiotic Stewardship Program for two of 18 sampled residents (Residents 68 and 301) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1.Resident 68 received two different antibiotics (medications that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria) to treat pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs) and urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) without provider's full assessment and the diagnostic test performed indicated Resident 68 was negative for the mentioned infections; and 2. Resident 301 was prescribed with topical (medication or treatment applied directly to the skin or body surfaces) antibiotics without a stop date. These failures had the potential to increase the prevalence of multi-drug resistance organism or bacteria.
Findings: 1.Review of Resident 68's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 3/26/2025, indicated Resident 68 was readmitted to the facility with diagnoses including dementia, severe, with other behavioral disturbance (unusual, disruptive, or problematic behaviors that deviate from typical patterns and cause distress or impairment in daily functioning), epilepsy (a brain disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures , and delusional disorders (a type of mental health condition in which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined). During observations inside Resident 68's room on 3/24/2025 at 9:37 a.m., Resident 68 was seated on a wheelchair, and was talking to self.
