Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
reasonable accommodations to meet the needs of one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 107).
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to ensure the call light for Resident 107 was within the resident's reach. This failure had
the potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Call System, Resident dated September 2022 showed when the resident
needed assistance, a communication system was provided to call the staff for assistance. The staff
answered the call as soon as possible by available staff, and urgent needs would be answered immediately.
During the initial tour of the facility on 3/17/25 at 0922 hours, Resident 107's call light button was observed
hanging over a cord near the wall above Resident 107's head of the bed. Resident 107's call button was not
placed within the resident's reach.
Medical record review for Resident 107 was initiated on 3/18/24. Resident 107 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 107's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 107 had severe cognitive
impairment and needed maximum assistance from the facility staff with the ADL care.
On 3/17/25 at 1122 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 1 for Resident
107. Resident 107's call light button was observed not within the resident's reach. CNA 1 stated Resident
107 needed assistance from the facility staff. CNA 1 verified and acknowledged the resident's call light
button was hung and clipped on the wall and not within the resident's reach.
On 3/19/25 at 1352 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2
stated Resident 107 needed assistance from the facility staff with the ADL care. LVN 2 stated Resident 107
was able to use the call light system when the resident needed assistance from the facility staff. LVN 2 was
informed and acknowledged the above finding. LVN 2 stated Resident 107's call light should have been
within the resident's reach.
On 03/24/25 at 1347 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified
the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to provide the Skilled
Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) Form CMS-10055 and Notice of
Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) for one of three nonsampled residents (Resident 51) reviewed for
beneficiary notices. This failure had the potential to not allow the resident or their representative to make
informed decisions regarding their Medicare services.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
Review of the facility's SNF ABN Form CMS-10055 instructions dated 2024 showed the SNF ABN Form
CMS-10055 provided information to allow the beneficiaries to decide whether to receive care that may not
be paid for by Medicare and allow for the beneficiary to assume the financial responsibility.
Review of the facility's NOMNC Form CMS 10123 with an expiration date of 11/30/27, showed the NOMNC
Form CMS 10123 provided information to the beneficiaries of when the service coverage will end and the
process to appeal the Medicare coverage.
Medical record review for Resident 51 was initiated on 3/21/25. Resident 51 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 51's NOMNC Form CMS 10123 dated 2/21/25, did not show the signature of the
resident or their representative.
Review of Resident 51's SNF ABN Form CMS-10055 dated 2/21/25, did not show the signature of the
resident or their representative.
On 3/21/25 at 1320 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the SSD.
The SSD was asked if the NOMNC Form CMS 10123 and SNF ABN Form CMS-10055 were provided to
Resident 51 or Resident 51's representative. The SSD stated the NOMNC Form CMS 10123 and SNF ABN
Form CMS-10055 were not provided to Resident 51's representative before Resident 51's last cover day.
Furthermore, the SSD stated she sent the notices via email to Resident 51's representative on 2/21/25.
However, the SSD stated she did not receive confirmation from Resident 51's representative and/or the
signed forms.
On 3/24/25 at 1252 hours, an interview was conducted with the Medical Record Director. The Medical
Record Director provided a copy of Resident 51's SNF Beneficiary Notification Review Form CMS-20052,
completed by the SSD on 3/21/25. The form showed Resident 51's Medicare Part A Skilled Services
started on 1/13/25, and the last cover day for the Part A services was on 2/25/25. The Medical Record
Director also provided a copy of Resident 51's NOMNC Form CMS 10123 completed by the SSD on
3/21/25, which was signed by the resident's responsible party. The Medical Record Director acknowledged
the form was not completed timely.
On 3/24/25 at 1443 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. Medical
record review for Resident 61 was initiated on 3/17/25. Resident 61 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
discharged on 2/21/25, and readmitted on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident 61's MDS - Discharge Assessment - Return Anticipated dated 2/21/25, and completed
by MDS Coordinator 2 showed the assessment with a completion date of 3/20/25.
On 3/24/25 at 1043 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with MDS
Coordinator 2. MDS Coordinator 2 stated the facility had a 14-day window to complete the MDS Discharge
Assessment - Return Anticipated. The MDS Coordinator 2 stated sometimes the facility would get backed
up with the MDS submissions. The MDS Coordinator 2 verified she completed Resident 61's MDS
discharge assessment later than the due date of 3/7/25.
On 3/24/25 at 1330 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON acknowledged the above findings.
Based on interview and medical record review, the facility failed to transmit the MDS timely for one of 20
final sampled residents (Resident 61) and two nonsampled residents (Residents 97 and 103). This failure
had the potential for not having current information in the residents' medical records.
Findings:
Review of the CMS Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, Version
1.19.1 dated 10/2024 showed the MDS assessments and tracking records that include a select number of
items from the MDS used to track residents and gather important quality data at transition points, such as
when they enter a nursing home, leave a nursing home, or when a resident's Medicare Part A stay ends,
but the resident remains in the facility. For a Discharge Assessment (return not anticipated and return
anticipated), the MDS completion date should be no later than the discharge date plus 14 calendar days.
Additionally, the MDS must be transmitted no later than the MDS completion date plus 14 calendar days.
1. Closed medical record review for Resident 97 was initiated on 3/20/25. Resident 97 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], and discharged home on [DATE].
Review of Resident 97's Discharge MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 97 was discharged
from the facility on 12/30/24, and Resident 97's return to the facility was not anticipated. Further review of
Resident 97's MDS Assessment showed the MDS Discharge Assessment was signed as complete on
3/19/25, more than nine weeks past the required MDS completion date of 1/13/25.
2. Closed medical record review for Resident 103 was initiated on 3/20/25. Resident 103 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE], and discharged home on [DATE].

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, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure the necessary care and services were provided to prevent the development of new
pressure ulcers (areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for a long time which reduces
blood flow to the area and causes the skin to die and develop a sore) and promote healing of existing
pressure ulcer for one of one final sampled resident (Resident 72) reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure the LAL mattress unit was not on the static setting(in static mode, the mattress
provides a firm surface that makes it easier to transfer or reposition) when care or repositioning was not
being rendered. This failure posed the potential risk for Resident 72 to not benefit from the therapy provided
by the LAL mattress.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown-Clinical Protocol revised 4/2018 showed
the physician will order pertinent wound treatments, including pressure reduction surfaces, wound
cleansing, and debridement approaches, dressings, and application of topical agents.
Review of the user manual titled Med-Aire Essential 14508 8-inch Alternating Pressure and Low Air Loss
Mattress System (undated), showed the Med-Aire Essential 14508 pump and mattress are intended to help
reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers while optimizing patient comfort. Press the static button to set it in
static mode, and the static indicator will come on. Press the static button again to switch back to alternating
mode. NOTE! In static mode, the mattress provides a firm surface that makes it easier for the patient to
transfer or reposition.
Medical record review for Resident 72 was initiated on 3/17/25. Resident 72 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 72's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 72 was at risk for developing
pressure ulcers/injuries and admitted to the facility with a Stage 3 (full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous
fat may be visible, but bone, tendon, and muscle are not exposed) pressure injury/ulcer. Further review of
the MDS showed Resident 72 required substantial/maximal assistance to roll from the left and right sides.
Review of Resident 72's Order Summary Report for March 2025 showed a physician's order dated 3/1/25,
for the low air loss mattress for wound management according to the resident's weight and comfort; and to
check for the appropriate setting daily and adjust as needed.
Review of Resident 72's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 10/21/24, for Resident 72's right
heel Stage 3 pressure injury. The interventions included to provide a pressure relieving mattress/LAL
mattress for skin management.
Review of Resident 72's Follow Up LTC Wound Progress Note dated 3/13/25, showed the physician's
documentation that Resident 72 was at high risk of wound incidence due to impaired mobility and
co-morbid conditions. The recommendation showed to implement pressure relieving measures and
offloading as tolerated.

On 3/18/25 at 1439 hours, Resident 72 was observed lying in bed. The LAL mattress device was observed
on with the static setting.
On 3/19/25 at 0754 and 1000 hours, Resident 72 was observed lying in bed with the LAL mattress and
static setting on. A Staff was not observed in the room providing care to Resident 72.
Residents Affected - Few
On 3/19/25 at 1018 hours, during the wound treatment observation for Resident 72 with LVN 9, LVN 9 did
not check the LAL mattress unit.
On 3/19/25 at 1031 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9
stated Resident 72 was bed bound and unable to reposition and turn himself in bed. LVN 9 stated Resident
72 had a slow healing pressure injury to the right heel and the interventions for the pressure injury was to
elevate and offload the right heel, provide treatment and nutrition via the GT, and use of the LAL mattress.
LVN 9 stated the licensed nurses and treatment nurse were responsible for checking the LAL mattress unit
to ensure the setting on the LAL mattress was appropriate for the resident. LVN 9 stated checking the LAL
mattress unit consisted of ensuring the weight setting matched the resident's current weight and checking
the lights on the LAL mattress unit, which could alert the staff if there were any issues with the LAL
mattress unit. LVN 9 stated the static setting on the LAL mattress unit was used when the staff were
changing or repositioning the resident. LVN 9 further stated when the static light on the LAL mattress unit
was on, it indicated the LAL mattress was on the static setting which meant the LAL mattress was firm. LVN
9 stated the CNAs were able to push the static button and put the LAL mattress in the static mode when
providing incontinent care, turning, or repositioning the resident. LVN 9 further stated once the care was
rendered, the CNA was expected to turn the static setting off. LVN 9 stated the static setting should only be
on when the staff are providing care, changing, or repositioning/turning the resident and the risk of the
static mode being on for a prolong period would result in the resident not being provided with the low air
loss pressure of the mattress. LVN 9 verified Resident 72 was on a LAL mattress unit, verified the above
findings, and stated the LAL mattress device should not be on the static setting. LVN 9 turned the static
setting off.
On 3/19/25 at 1423 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 7. CNA 7 stated she was the CNA
assigned to Resident 72 and familiar with his care. CNA 7 stated Resident 72 had a LAL mattress; and
during incontinent care, turning, or reposition of the resident, she put the LAL mattress unit on the static
mode and should turn off the static mode when she was done with the care provided. CNA 7 stated she
checked the LAL mattress unit every time she entered Resident 72's room to ensure the LAL mattress unit
was on. When asked if she checked if the LAL mattress was on the static mode today, CNA 7 stated she did
not. CNA 7 stated she only checked to see if the LAL mattress unit was on by checking the on indicator on
the LAL mattress unit. CNA 7 stated sometimes she forgot to check the settings on the LAL mattress and
only checked that the LAL mattress device was on. CNA 7 stated she provided incontinent care for
Resident 72 today at 1100 hours, and prior to that she did not put the LAL mattress on the static mode.
On 3/24/25 at 1321 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON and Administrator. The DON and
Administrator were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to provide the necessary care and services to prevent accidents for one of 20 final sample residents
(Resident 421) and four nonsampled residents (Resident 120, 424, 425, and 771).
* The facility failed to ensure the safe smoking practices were followed for three residents (Residents 421,
424, and 425) who smoked in the facility as evidenced by:
- The residents were not accurately and thoroughly assessed to determine if they could safely store their
own cigarettes or lighters.
- The residents who were assessed as requiring supervision while smoking or those with a history of
non-compliance with the facility's smoking P&P were permitted to keep the cigarettes, lighters, and other
smoking articles/materials in their possession.
* The facility failed to ensure the fall admission assessment was accurate and fall care plan was developed
for Resident 120.
* The facility failed to ensure a care plan was developed to address Resident 771's high risk for fall.
These failures posed the risk of injuries from fall and fire and serious injuries to the residents who smoked
and to the other residents who resided in the facility.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Smoking Policy - Residents, undated showed the facility shall establish
and maintain safe resident smoking practices. The residents will be evaluated on admission to determine if
he or she is a smoker or non-smoker. If a smoker, the revaluation will include their ability to smoke safely
with or without supervision. The staff shall consult with the attending physician and DON to determine if
safety restrictions need to be placed on a resident's smoking privileges. A resident's ability to smoke safely
will be re-evaluated quarterly, upon a significant change (physical or cognitive) and as determined by the
staff. Any smoking-related privileges, restrictions, and concerns shall be noted on the care plan, and all
personnel caring for the resident shall be alerted to these issues. Only the residents who have independent
smoking privileges are permitted to keep cigarettes and other smoking articles in their possession. The
residents are not permitted to give smoking articles to other residents. Residents without independent
smoking privileges may not have or keep any smoking articles.
a. On [DATE] at 1626 hours, Resident 425 was observed sitting in the chair and smoking in the patio.
Resident 425 was observed inhaling several puffs from the cigarette, flicking the cigarette ashes onto the
ground, and putting out his cigarette on the ground. Resident 425 was observed smoking in a nonsmoking
patio, with no smoking ash tray nearby, and/or facility staff supervision. Resident 425 kept his own
cigarettes and lighter in his possession.
On [DATE] at 1630 hours, the Administrator and RN 1 was summoned to the facility's nonsmoking patio

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate pain
management for two of three final sampled resident (Residents 8 and 94) reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to administer the pain medication according to the physician's order for Resident 8 and
develop a care plan to address Resident 8's pain and use of the Norco (narcotic) pain medication.
* The facility failed to accurately document the monitoring of pain for Resident 94 and administer the pain
medication according to the physician's order. In addition, the facility failed to ensure the
non-pharmacological pain interventions were provided prior to the administration of the pain medication
and develop a care plan to address Resident 94's pain and the use of the Norco pain medication.
These failures had the potential to put Residents 8 and 94 at risk for ineffective pain management and
adverse effects related to the use of unnecessary pain medication.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pain- Clinical Protocol revised 3/2018 showed with input from the resident
to the extent possible, the physician and staff will establish goals of pain treatment; for example, freedom
from pain with minimal medication side effects, less frequent headaches, or improved functioning, mood,
and sleep. The physician will order the appropriate non-pharmacologic and medication interventions to
address the individual's pain. Pain medications should be selected based on pertinent treatment guidelines.
Generally, and to the extent possible, an analgesic regiment should utilize the simplest regiment and lowest
risk medications before using more problematic or higher risk approaches.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 12/2016 showed a
comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the
resident's physical, psychosocial, and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident.
The comprehensive, person-centered care plan will:
a. include measurable objectives and timeframe;
b. describe the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being;
e. include the resident's stated goals upon admission and desired outcomes;
g. incorporate identified problem areas;
h. incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems; and
k. reflect treatment goals, timetables and objectives in measurable outcomes;
Further review of the facility's P&P showed the comprehensive, person-centered care plan is

Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents and
the resident's condition change.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications revised 4/2019 showed medications are
administered in accordance with the prescriber orders, including any required time frame.
1. On 3/17/25 at 0843 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 8. Resident 8 stated she had pain
in her left hip and was being administered pain medication for her pain.
Medical record review for Resident 8 was initiated on 3/17/25. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 8's H&P examination dated 12/7/24, showed Resident 8 had a displaced
intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur (thigh bone) and had the following medications for pain
management: acetaminophen (analgesic medication) 650 mg every four hours as needed and Norco 5-325
mg every eight hours as needed.
Review of Resident 8's Order Summary Report for March 2025 showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 12/6/24, to administer Norco 5-325 mg one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for severe
pain level of 7-10 (on a 0 to 10 pain scale, 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain),
- dated 12/15/24, to administered acetaminophen 325 mg two tablets by mouth every four hours as needed
for mild pain level 1-3.
Review of Resident 8's MAR for March 2025 showed Resident 8 was administered Norco 5-325 mg for

- dated 3/9/25 at 0320 hours, for a pain level of 6,
- dated 3/12/25 at 0112 hours, for a pain level of 6, and
- dated 3/17/25 at 0447 hours, for a pain level of 6.
Review of Resident 8's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 8 received the PRN pain
medication or was offered and declined PRN pain medication.
Review of Resident 8's plan of care showed a care plan problem addressing Resident 8's alteration on
musculoskeletal status related to muscle spasms. The medication Baclofen (muscle relaxant medication) 5
mg tablet was listed under the care plan. However, further review of Resident 8's plan of care failed to show
a care plan problem addressing Resident 8's left hip pain or use of the Norco pain medication.
On 3/20/25 at 1109 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 8 was
conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6 stated the pain medications were administered as per the physician's orders
and within the ordered pain parameters. LVN 6 stated if the pain medications were administered outside of
the physician's ordered pain parameters, the physician should be informed, and the licensed nurse should
document in the resident's medical record. LVN 6 further stated for the residents who

on [DATE], with a diagnosis of fracture of an unspecified part of the neck of the left femur.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 94's H&P examination dated 11/27/24, showed Resident 94 was admitted to an acute
care hospital status post fall, UTI, pain and had a left hip open reduction surgery (a surgical procedure
used to repair broken bones [fractures]. It involves exposing the fractured bone, realigning the bone
fragments, and stabilizing them with internal fixation devices such as screws, plates, rods, or wires). Further
review of Resident 94's H&P examination showed Resident 94 had the capacity to understand and make
decisions.
Review of Resident 94's Order Summary Report for March 2025 showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 11/26/24, to monitor Resident 94's level of pain every shift, on a 0-10 pain scale, and document 0=

non-pharmacological pain interventions should not be documented as N/A. LVN 1 further stated if the
resident refused the non-pharmacological pain interventions, then the licensed nurse should document in
the progress notes. LVN 1 reviewed Resident 94's medical record and stated there were no documentation
to show Resident 94 refused the non-pharmacological pain interventions. Additionally, LVN 1 stated
Resident 94 had been taking the Norco pain medication for some time. LVN 1 stated Resident 94 should
have a care plan to address Resident 94's left hip pain and use of the Norco pain medication. LVN 1
reviewed Resident 94's plan of care and verified Resident 94's care plan for pain was created on 3/20/25
(same day), and verified Resident 94 did not have a care plan specific to the use of Norco pain medication.
On 3/24/25 at 1033 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 94 was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated the pain medication should be administered as per the
physician's order and within the ordered pain parameters. The DON stated a care plan should be developed
for the residents who had pain. The DON further stated the Norco pain medication was a high- risk
medication (drugs that have a heightened potential to cause serious harm or death if used incorrectly) and
there should be a care plan developed for the residents who were taking the high-risk medications.
Additionally, the DON stated the non-pharmacological pain interventions should be implemented and the
effectiveness should be documented, prior to the administration of the pain medication, to prevent
unnecessary administration of the pain medication (if the non-pharmacological pain interventions were
effective). The DON stated the non-pharmacological pain intervention should not be documented as N/A if
the pain medication was administered to the resident. When asked about the monitoring of pain every shift,
the DON stated the monitoring of the resident's pain should be documented at the end of each shift to
ensure an accurate assessment and tracking of the resident's pain level. The DON further stated if the
licensed nurse assessed and documented the resident's pain as 0, and the nurse later administered the
pain medication to the resident during their shift, the DON expected the licensed nurse to update the pain
assessment/documentation. The DON reviewed Resident 94's MAR for March 2025 and verified the above
findings. The DON stated the nurse should have updated the pain monitoring to accurately reflect Resident
94's pain during those shifts.

LVN 5. LVN 5 prepared and administered the following medications to Resident 113:
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
- one fluid ounce of Prostat (supplement) 17 gm;
Residents Affected - Few
- one tablet of aspirin chewable 81 mg;
- one tablet of memantine (dementia medication) 10 mg; and
- one tablet of multivitamin with mineral (supplement).
During the medication administration observation, LVN 5 was observed handing Resident 113 one tablet of
aspirin chewable 81 mg. Resident 113 was observed swallowing the aspirin chewable medication and then
drinking juice. LVN 5 was not observed instructing Resident 113 to chew the aspirin chewable tablet.
On 3/18/25 at 0917 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 113 was
conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 verified she did not instruct Resident 113 to chew the aspirin chewable
medication during the medication administration observation. LVN 5 stated Resident 113 was able to follow
simple commands; however, in the past, Resident 113 was not able to follow the instruction to chew the
aspirin tablets. LVN 5 stated the physician had been informed. When asked to show the documentation
showing the physician was informed or to show the physician's order to continue to administer the aspirin
chewable medication despite the resident being unable to chew the aspirin medication, LVN 5 was unable
to provide the documentation.
On 3/24/25 at 1033 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the medications
should be administered as ordered by the physician, following the right time, dose, and route. The DON
stated for the administration of the aspirin chewable medication, the licensed nurse should instruct the
resident to chew the aspirin medication. The DON further stated if the resident was unable to chew the
aspirin chewable medication, the licensed nurses were expected to attempt to coach the resident to chew
the medication; and if unsuccessful, the licensed nurse should inform the physician to clarify the order to a
more appropriate form of the aspirin medication and to document the physician notification and order
clarification in the resident's medical record.
On 3/24/25 at 1321 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

12/28/24, to administer insulin glargine (used to lower blood sugar) 27 units subcutaneously (into the fatty
tissue) at bedtime for diabetes mellitus.
Review of Resident 47's MAR from February and March 2025 showed the insulin glargine was held on the
following days:
Residents Affected - Few
- dated 2/5, 2/7, 2/9, 2/10, 2/11, 2/13, 2/21, 2/23, and 2/24/25, because the vitals were outside of the
parameters for administration;
- dated 3/3, 3/4, 3/5, 3/8, 3/12, and 3/15/25, because the vitals were outside of the parameters for
administration; and
- dated 3/16/25, with a hold/see progress note entry.
Further review of Resident 47's medical record failed to show any progress notes to indicate why the insulin
glargine was held or if the physician was contacted.
On 3/24/25 at 1103 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2.
RN 2 was informed and verified the above findings. RN 2 stated she did not know why the insulin
medication was held on the above dates. RN 2 stated there should be a physician's order for the
parameters when to hold the medication.
On 3/24/25 at 1238 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 5.
LVN 5 verified the above findings. LVN 5 stated there was no physician's order for the parameters for the
insulin medication for Resident 47 and she would need to clarify the order with the doctor.
On 3/24/25 at 1330 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON acknowledged the above findings.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to provide the necessary pharmaceutical services for four of 20 sampled residents
(Residents 3, 36, 43, and 47) and one nonsampled residents (Resident 113).
* The facility failed to ensure the Controlled Drug Record matched the MAR for Residents 3 and 371's
hydrocodone-acetaminophen (narcotic pain medication) administration. In addition, the facility failed to
document the residents' pain assessment before and after the administration of the
hydrocodone-acetaminophen medication. This failure posed the risk of diversion of the controlled
medication.
* Resident 43's insulin (used to lower blood sugar level) injection sites were not rotated. This failure had the
potential for the resident to suffer from unnecessary side effects.
* One of five licensed nurses (LVN 5) who was observed during the medication administration observation
was found to have an error. LVN 5 failed to instruct Resident 113 to chew the aspirin 81 mg chewable
medication.
* The facility failed to ensure the administration of medication for Resident 36 was accurately documented
in the MAR.
* The facility failed to administer insulin glargine to Resident 47 as ordered by the physician.

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, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure three of
five final sampled residents (Residents 3, 10, and 61) reviewed for unnecessary medications were free from
unnecessary psychotropic drugs.
* Resident 61 was prescribed lorazepam (antianxiety medication) PRN for anxiety starting on 1/27/25.
There was no documented diagnosis of anxiety prior to Resident 61 starting the PRN lorazepam
medication. Resident 61 did not have an informed consent signed by the resident or responsible party prior
to starting the lorazepam medication. Resident 61's physician's orders for the PRN lorazepam medication
on 1/27/25, did not have a manifested behavior or stop date for the PRN medication. Additionally, Resident
61's physician's orders for the PRN lorazepam medication were continuously renewed without evaluation
from the prescribing practitioner.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 3's monthly behavioral monitoring for the use of Zyprexa
(antipsychotic medication), Depakote (a medication used to treat seizure and bipolar disorder), and
temazepam (a medication used to treat insomnia) were completed for February 2025.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 10's monthly behavioral monitoring for the use of escitalopram
oxalate (a medication used to treat depression and anxiety disorder), Abilify (antipsychotic medication),
Depakote were completed for February 2025. In addition, the facility failed to ensure Resident 10's
orthostatic blood pressures (measure the blood pressure while laying down or sitting and again upon
standing up) were monitored for the use of the Abilify medication.
These failures had the potential to place the residents at risk for receiving unnecessary psychotropic
medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Antipsychotic Medication Use revised 12/2016 showed the residents
will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which they are
indicated and effective. Residents will not receive PRN doses of the psychotropic medications unless that
medication is necessary to treat a specific condition that is documented in the clinical record. The need to
continue PRN orders for psychotropic medications beyond 14 days requires that the practitioner document
the rationale for the extended order. The duration of the PRN order will be indicated in the order. PRN
orders for antipsychotic medications will not be renewed beyond 14 days unless the healthcare practitioner
has evaluated the resident for the appropriateness of that medication.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Verification of Informed Consent for Psychotherapeutic Medications
revised 6/2024 showed the facility will obtain a written informed consent for treatments using
psychotherapeutic drugs and consent renewal every six months. Before prescribing a psychotherapeutic
drug, the physician must personally examine the resident and obtain informed written consent signed by
the resident or the resident's representative along with, the signature of the health care professional
declaring the required material information has been provided.

was managing Resident 10's psychotropic medications and reviewed the Monthly Psychotropic Summary
Sheet or the MAR.
b. Review of the facility's P&P titled Antipsychotic Medication Use revised 12/2016 showed the nursing staff
shall monitor for and report any of the following side effects and adverse consequences of antipsychotic
medications to the attending physician: (b) Cardiovascular: orthostatic hypotension (a condition where
blood pressure drops significantly when a person stands up from a sitting or lying position), arrythmias (a
condition in which the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm).
Further medical record review for Resident 10 failed to show documented evidence Resident 10's
orthostatic BP was being monitored.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure the medications were stored appropriately as evidenced by:
* Resident 371's pack of hydrocodone-acetaminophen tablets was stored inside IV cart after the resident
discharged .
* Four Calmoseptine ointments (a multipurpose, over-the-counter ointment containing menthol and zinc
oxide, used to treat and prevent minor skin irritations like diaper rash, burns, cuts, scrapes, and skin
irritation from moisture or irritants) without expiration date were stored inside the treatment cart.
* Two bins used to dispose medications were unlocked with insulin pens inside.
* A bottle of Pro-stat Advanced Wound Care (supplement) was observed with sticky brown residue on and
around the cap and bottle.
These failures had the potential for diversion of medications and for the residents to experience adverse
effects.
Findings:
1.a. On 3/20/25 at 0829 hours, an observation of the IV cart and concurrent facility document review was
conducted with RN 2. RN 2 verified there was a pack of hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg tablets
stored in the IV cart.
Review of the facility's Controlled Drug Record stored inside the IV cart showed on 12/4 (December 4, no
year was documented), one tablet was signed out for Resident 371. The medication label for the
hydrocodone-acetaminophen showed a fill date of 12/4/23.
Review of Resident 371's medical record with RN 2 showed Resident 371 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and discharged from the facility on 2/29/24. RN 2 verified the findings and acknowledged the
medication should have been given to the DON for destruction.
Cross reference to F755, example #1.a.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure the menus were followed for 20 of 93 residents who received food prepared in the kitchen as
evidenced by:
* 19 residents who were on a CCHO diet were served the canned fruit instead of the diet gelatin with whip
topping as shown on the posted menu.
* Resident 87 was not served the gelatin with whipped topping as per the menu.
These failures had the potential for the residents to not receive an adequate nutrition and appropriate
servings to meet the residents' individual needs.
Findings:
Review of the facility's Diet Type Report dated 3/17/25, showed 93 of 96 residents residing in the facility
received food prepared in the kitchen and 19 of the 96 residents had a CCHO diet.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Menus revised 10/2017 showed menus provide a variety of foods from the
basic daily food groups and indicate standard portions at each meal. Copies of the menus are posted in at
least two resident areas, in positions and in print large enough for residents to read them.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Substitutions revised 4/2007 showed all substitutions are noted on the
menu and filed in accordance with established dietary policy.
Review of the facility's document titled Spring Cycle Menus - Week 3 Monday 3/17/25, showed the
residents on a regular, mechanical soft diet would be served the gelatin with whipped topping. The
document also showed the residents on a CCHO diet would be served the diet gelatin with whipped
topping.
During the lunch dining observation on 3/17/25 at 1225 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was
conducted with CNA 6 for Residents 55 and 87. The following was observed:
- Resident 55's meal ticket showed the resident was to receive a regular CCHO diet. Resident 55's was not
observed with the diet gelatin with whipped topping dessert. Resident 55 was instead served canned fruit.
- Resident 87's meal ticket showed the resident was to receive a regular mechanical soft diet. Resident 87
was not observed with the gelatin with whipped topping dessert.
Following the observations, CNA 6 was asked about Residents 55 and 87's missing gelatin with whipped
topping dessert per the menu. CNA 6 verified Residents 55 and 87 were not served the gelatin with
whipped topping dessert and would need to ask the kitchen staff.
On 3/17/25 at 1227 hours, a follow-up observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 6.
CNA 6 returned from the kitchen and stated Resident 55 could not have the gelatin because she was on a
CCHO diet, but Resident 87 could have it and CNA 6 proceeded to provide Resident 87 with the

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 facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the residents received food
with preserved nutritive content and palatibility as evidenced by:
Residents Affected - Few
* The pureed carrots were cooked and held in a hot oven for more than two hours prior to the meal service.
This failure had the potential to not meet the nutritional needs for the residents consuming food prepared in
the kitchen.
* The facility failed to ensure the facility food was palatable when one of 93 final sampled residents
(Resident 94) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 57) who received food prepared in the facility
kitchen were not satisfied with the facility food. This failure had the potential for the 4 residents to have
decreased intake which could lead to unplanned weight loss and other medically related concerns.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's Diet Type Report dated 3/17/25, showed 93 of 96 residents residing in the facility
received food prepared in the kitchen and 11 of the 96 residents received pureed food.
Review of the facility's document titled Diet Type Report dated 3/17/25, showed 11 residents were on
pureed diets.
Review of the professional reference titled How Cooking Affects the Nutrient Content of Foods dated
11/7/19, showed the following nutrients are often reduced during cooking: water-soluble vitamins: vitamin C
and the B vitamins - thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic
acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12), fat-soluble vitamins: vitamins A, D, E, and K, and minerals: primarily
potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium .

Review of the facility's document titled Meal Times showed the following: breakfast starting at 0715 hours,
lunch starting at 1155 hours, and dinner starting at 1725 hours.
On 3/18/25 at 0923 hours, an observation of the pureed food preparation and concurrent interview was
conducted with [NAME] 1 with translation provided by the DSS. [NAME] 1 was assigned to puree the
cooked carrots and followed the pureed vegetables recipe. [NAME] 1 placed the pureed vegetables into a
metal serving container, covered with a plastic wrap, and labeled it.
On 3/18/25 at 1131 hours, an observation of the kitchen trayline was conducted. The temperature of the
pureed carrots on the steam table was 172 degrees F. During the trayline, the DSS was asked where the
pureed foods were kept. The DSS stated the cook put all the pureed foods in the oven for holding and the
oven was at 200 degrees F.
On 3/18/25 at 1600 hours, an interview was conducted with the RD. The RD verified the carrots were
cooked prior to the pureed preparation observation. The RD was informed the pureed food preparation was
completed at 0945 hours and the pureed carrots had been held in the hot 200 degree F oven until the
trayline at 1130 hours. The RD acknowledged the findings. When asked if the pureed carrots could lose

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, interview, facility document review and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure the residents on mechanically altered diets received food in a form that met their individual needs.
Residents Affected - Few
* One of 11 residents (final sampled resident, Resident 3) who had physician's orders for a regular pureed
diet received a regular dysphagia mechanical soft diet.
* The pureed BBQ chicken was observed with small chunks of chicken.
These failures posed the risk for complications such as choking for the 11 residents who were on pureed
diets.
Findings:
Review of the facility's Diet Type Report dated 3/17/25, showed 93 of 96 residents residing in the facility
received food prepared in the kitchen.
Review of the facility's document titled Diet Type Report dated 3/17/25, showed 11 residents were on
pureed diets.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Therapeutic Diets revised 10/2017 showed therapeutic diets are
prescribed by the attending physician to support the resident's treatment and plan of care in accordance
with his or her goals and preferences.
Review of the facility's document titled Regular Pureed Diet dated 2023 showed the pureed diet is a regular
diet that has been designed for residents who have difficulty chewing and/or swallowing. The texture of the
food should be of a smooth and moist consistency and able to hold its shape. All foods are prepared in a
food processor or blender.
1. During the lunch dining observation on 3/17/25 at 1204 hours, LVN 7 and CNA 5 were observed
checking the trays on the meal cart. LVN 7 checked the facility document titled Diet Type Report, then
checked the meal on the tray. Resident 3 was served a regular dysphagia mechanical soft meal. Resident
3's meal ticket stated her diet was for regular dysphagia mechanical soft.
On 3/17/25 at 1218 hours, an observation of Resident 3 and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN
7, Resident 3 no longer had a regular dysphagia mechanical soft meal and was served a pureed diet
instead. LVN 7 stated she changed Resident 3's meal tray because the Diet Type Report showed she
should have a regular pureed diet. LVN 7 was unable to state why Resident 3's meal ticket showed a
different diet than the Diet Type Report. LVN 7 stated she would have to ask her charge nurse about the
correct diet.
On 3/17/25 at 1226 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 3.
Resident 3 stated she did not know why her meal was changed, but the pureed diet did not taste good.

who brought in food from the outside. CNA 2 stated she would microwave the food, if the resident
requested, in the resident microwave. When asked if she heated it to a specific temperature, CNA 2 stated
she would microwave the food for 30 seconds to a minute and would not make it too hot so the resident
would not burn themselves. CNA 2 stated the DSD provided in-service about safe food handling.
On 3/20/25 at 0814 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 3. CNA 3 stated she had the residents
who brought in food from the outside. CNA 3 stated she did not know any information about safe food
handling but would let the resident ate the food at one time and would throw the leftovers away. When
asked if she heated the foods in the microwave to a specific temperature, CNA 3 stated she would
microwave the food for one half to one minute and no more than that because it would be too hot for the
resident. CNA 3 stated she did not know how to check the temperatures of the food. CNA 3 stated the DSD
provided in-service about safe food handling.
On 3/20/25 at 0824 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated he had the residents who
brought in food from the outside. When asked how he reheated foods, CNA 4 stated he would ask how hot
the resident wanted it and the resident would tell him how long to microwave for. CNA 4 stated he would
check the temperature by putting the back of his hand on it. CNA 4 was asked what he knew regarding safe
food handling. CNA 4 stated he did not know much and has not had education from the facility for safe food
handling.
On 3/20/25 at 0829 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6 stated for safe food handling,
they would make sure the food was clean and not contaminated. When asked what she taught to the
residents or visitors who brought food from the outside, LVN 6 stated she would make sure the resident
was not allergic to the food and would store the food for only 24 hours. When asked about food
temperatures, LVN 6 stated she could not put the food in the refrigerator right away because it was warm
and would wait 30 min or an hour.
On 3/20/25 at 0838 hours, an interview and concurrent facility P&P review was conducted with the DSD.
The DSD stated he provided in-services to the CNAs and charge nurses for food brought in from the
outside by going over the facility policy titled Foods Brought by Family/Visitors. The DSD stated he would

handling, the DSD verified he did not provide education specific to safe food handling.
On 3/20/25 at 0846 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 was asked about the safe food
handling of the foods brought in from the outside. RN 2 stated she would teach the resident/visitors to wash
their hands and when they wanted to microwave the food, to give it to the staff and a CNA would help to
microwave the food. RN 2 stated she would make sure the food was labeled with the name, room number,

provided by the kitchen and DSD.
On 3/20/25 at 0853 hours, an interview, concurrent facility document and facility P&P review was conducted
with the RD. The RD stated he had not yet given any in-services to the staff outside of the kitchen. When
asked about the safe food handling education provided, the RD verified he did not provide safe food
handling education to the visitors/family but would do it upon request. The facility educational material on
food handling and safety located at the reception desk was reviewed with the RD. The RD verified the
educational material did not have any information on safe food handling.
On 3/20/25 at 0900 hours, an interview and concurrent facility P&P review was conducted with the
Admissions Director. The Admissions Director stated upon admission, she would provide the policy titled
Foods Brought by Family/Visitors and the policy titled Reheating Food Brought in for a Resident (which did
not show any information regarding safe food handling). The Admissions Director stated she would let the
family know if the resident was on a specific diet, they would need to check with the dietician so they would
not bring anything that would harm the resident and if there was food that could be stored, would only hold
it for 72 hours and would dispose of the food if not consumed. When asked about teaching regarding safe
food handling, the Admissions Director verified she only provided the two policies, and she did not provide
information specific to safe food handling.
On 3/24/25 at 1330 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON acknowledged the findings.

residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and
emergencies.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the Facility Assessment addressed or
included the following:
1. Active involvement of required individuals in developing the Facility Assessment;
2. Resources necessary to care for residents including weekends;
3. A plan to maximize recruitment and retention of direct care staff; and
4. A contingency plan for staffing needs.
This failure had the potential to not meet the residents' care needs if the assessed population's needs and
resources were not comprehensively identified and addressed.
Findings:
According to the CMS QSO-24-13-NH dated 6/18/24, with an implementation date of 8/8/24, CMS had
issued a revised guidance for long-term care facility assessment requirement. The Facility Assessment
should address and included the active involvement of the direct care staff in developing the Facility
Assessment. Also included the staffing resources necessary to care for the residents, including the
weekends; a plan to maximize recruitment and retention of direct care staff member, and a contingency
plan for staffing needs for the events not to activate the facility's emergency plan.
Review of the Facility's assessment dated [DATE], did not show the direct care staff member, direct care
representatives, residents, residents' representatives, and residents' family members were actively involved
in developing the Facility Assessment; the resources necessary to care for the residents including
weekends; and a plan to maximize recruitment and retention of the direct care staff, or include a
contingency plan for the staffing needs.
On 3/24/25 at 0826 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review of the Facility Assessment
was conducted with the Administrator. The Administrator verified the Facility Assessment was dated
1/16/25, and acknowledged he was not aware of the new update of the Facility Assessment from the CMS.
The Administrator verified there were no direct care staff, direct care representatives, residents, residents'
representatives, and family members actively involved in developing the Facility Assessment. The
Administrator further verified there were no resources necessary to care for the residents including
weekends, and a plan to maximize recruitment and retention of the direct care staff, or include a
contingency plan for the staffing needs. The Administrator verified and acknowledged the Facility
Assessment was not updated based on the latest guidance from the CMS.

* The facility failed to ensure LVN 6 followed the infection control protocols when LVN 6 was observed
removing a box of tissue from Resident 78's bedside table and placing the box of tissue on Resident 1's
bedside table. Resident 78 was on EBP.
These failures posed the risk for not identifying infections and controlling the transmission of communicable
diseases to the other residents throughout the facility.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Surveillance for Infections revised 9/2023 showed the facility employs
an infection control surveillance program to help prevent to the extent possible the development and
transmission of disease and infection. The IP (or designee), under the guidance of the Infection Control
Committee and Medical Director shall be responsible to implement the surveillance program.
Review of the facility's monthly Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Log showed inaccurate
documentation for the months of January and February 2025. The Meet McGeer Criteria (a set of specific
definitions to identify true infections in long term nursing facilities) column on the Infection Prevention and
Control Surveillance Log had nine N/A answers for January 2025 and four N/A answers for February 2025.
On 3/19/25 at 0906 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the IP.
The IP verified the Meet McGeer Criteria column on the Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Log
had nine N/A answers for January 2025 and four N/A answers for February 2025. The IP stated the answer
for the Meet McGeer Criteria column should be Yes or No. The IP further stated there was an error in
generating the Excel (a spreadsheet software program) sheet. The IP stated if she had seen the N/A under
the Meet McGeer Criteria column, she would have changed her answer from N/A to Yes. The IP stated the
Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Log should be accurate, so if another facility staff would look
at the log, the facility staff would know if it was a true infection.
On 3/20/25 at 0844 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON acknowledged the above findings. The DON stated there was an error in answering the
Meet McGeer Criteria on the surveillance log. The DON stated the IP should have corrected it immediately
upon identification so it would not confuse the facility staff who would need to read and interpret the report.
2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Personal Protective Equipment revised 8/2024 showed the personal
protective equipment appropriate to specific task requirements is available at all times. Section e showed
gown use:
iii. Re-use (over multiple days) and extended use (over multiple residents) of gowns are not allowed.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the antibiotic
stewardship program.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure if the McGeer's criteria for true infection was completed and accurate for one
of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 61) . This failure had the potential for inaccurately identifying true
infections and potentially inhibiting residents from receiving the appropriate treatment and care.
Findings:
According to the CDC, antibiotics are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in nursing
homes. Over the course of a year, up to 70% of nursing home residents get an antibiotic. Roughly 40% to
75% of antibiotics are prescribed incorrectly. In nursing homes, high rates of antibiotics are prescribed to
prevent UTI and RTI. Prescribing antibiotics before there is an infection often contributes to misuse. Often
residents are given antibiotics just because they are colonized with (carrying) bacteria that are not making
the person sick. Prescribing antibiotics for colonization contributes to antibiotic overuse. When patients are
transferred between facilities, for example from a nursing home to a hospital, poor communication between
facilities about prescribed antibiotics (e.g., rationale, number of days) plus insufficient infection control
practices can result in antibiotic misuse and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic-related harms,
such as diarrhea from C. difficile can be severe, difficult to treat, and lead to hospitalizations and deaths,
especially among people over age [AGE].
Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship revised 11/2019 showed to optimize the use of the
antibiotics by improving prescribing practices and to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use. Section D showed
the following Policy and Practice Change:
- The facility has chosen to use guidelines developed by McGeer/Loeb and Stone and include newer
surveillance information by McGeer/Loeb and Stone Criteria for initiation of antibiotics. The nurse will inform
the physician of this prescribing protocol.
- The SBAR will be utilized in conjunction with McGeer/Loeb and Stone guidelines to communicate with the
physician when there is change of condition.
Medical record review for Resident 61 was initiated on 3/19/25. Resident 61 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 61's H&P examination dated 2/27/25, showed the resident had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 61's View Radiology Report reviewed 2/3/25, showed Resident 61 had infiltrate in the
left lung base and COPD.
Review of Resident 61's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/3/25, to administer
levofloxacin (antibiotic) oral tablet 500 mg medication one tablet by mouth one time a day for COPD/cough
for seven days.

Review of Resident 61's Infection SBAR - Respiratory Tract - Pneumonia dated 2/3/25, failed to show if the
McGeer's criteria was met for true infection. Additionally, only two instead of three criteria were marked for
the McGeer's criteria for Respiratory Tract- Pneumonia.
On 3/19/25 at 0906 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the IP.
The IP verified Resident 61's Infection SBAR - Respiratory Tract- Pneumonia form did not show if the
McGeer's criteria was met or not met for true infection. The IP acknowledged three criteria must be present
to be considered as met the McGeer's criteria for respiratory tract-pneumonia. The IP verified the licensed
nurse documented only two out of the three criteria on Resident 61's Infection SBAR - Respiratory TractPneumonia form. The IP stated the third criteria of acute function decline should have been marked as
Resident 61 was noted with decline in function. The IP further stated the licensed nurse should have made
a note in the SBAR whether the McGreer's criteria was met or not met. The IP stated she would confirm if it
was met or not met after the licensed nurse completed the infection SBAR.
On 3/20/25 at 0844 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON acknowledged the above findings. The DON stated the licensed nurse should have
completed Resident 61's sign and symptoms to meet the McGeer's criteria. The DON stated the licensed
nurse should have documented Resident 61 had met the criteria for signs and symptoms of pneumonia.
