This survey cited 6 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 one of two sampled residents (Resident 1): 1. Had a baseline care plan (BCP- initial instructions for care right after admission) developed for diabetes management. 2. Had BCP developed for abdominal binder (a wide, elastic compression belt worn around the abdomen) use. 3. Had BCP interventions (specific actions to be taken) that were applicable to Resident 1 regarding NPO (nothing by mouth) status. These failures resulted in Resident 1 being transferred to the hospital for elevated blood sugar and had the potential for choking or aspiration (food or liquids entering the lungs).During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 1 was a [AGE] year-old admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of cerebral infarction (stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of the brain) and secondary diagnoses of diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and gastrostomy tube (G-tube - feeding tube directly into the stomach). During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Baseline Care Plan, dated 1/2025, the P&P indicated, Completion and implementation of the baseline care plan within 48 hours of a resident's admission is intended to promote continuity of care and communication among nursing home staff, increase resident safety, and safeguard against adverse events that are most likely to occur right after admission. The baseline care plan includes the minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for a resident, including. Physician orders. 1.

(Insulin Glargine) Inject 22 unit subcutaneously [under the skin] every 12 hours for DM2 [diabetes mellitus type 2]. During a review of Resident 1's Health Status Note (HSN), a late entry dated 9/2/25 at 1:24 p.m. for 8/25/25 at 4:22 p.m., the HSN indicated, Will send patient to hospital. Needs admission for fluids and diabetes control. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/14/25 at 2:15 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's BCPs were reviewed. DON stated there was no BCP for diabetes management and there should have been. 2. During a review of Resident 1's Wound Weekly Monitoring Assessment (WWMA), dated 8/22/25 at 3:36 p.m., the WWMA indicated, Resident wearing binder to prevent resident from pulling on peg tube [feeding tube inserted through the stomach]. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/25 starting at 3:45 p.m. with a licensed nurse (LN1), Resident 1's BCPs were reviewed. LN1 stated there should have been a BCP for abdominal binder use and there wasn't. 3. During a review of Resident 1's BCP titled, Resident has the following dietary orders Resident is NPO [nothing by mouth]. Currently on G-tube [feeding tube directly into the stomach], date initiated 8/21/25, the BCP intervention indicated, Monitor meal intake.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two residents (Resident 1) was provided quality care when the facility failed to: Administer Glargine (insulin used for regulating blood sugar) for 3 days, on 8/21 at 9 p.m., 8/22 at 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., and 8/23 at 9 a.m. 2. Notify/Communicate to the charge nurse and physician the missed doses of Glargine. 3. Acquire insulin to meet Resident 1's needs. 4.

If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1):1. Had appropriate alternatives to bed rails identified and tried.2. Was adequately assessed for bed rail use. 3. Had their bed and mattress assessed for bed rails (metal bars attached to the bed) prior to the bed rail installation. 4. Had the appropriately trained staff install the bedrails.These failures had the potential to result in an increased risk of entrapment (caught, trapped, entangled, or strangled in the space in or about the bed rail).Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of cerebral infarction (type of stroke- brain cells die) and secondary diagnoses including flaccid (floppy and weak) hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), muscle weakness, drug-induced polyneuropathy (nerve damage that occurs as a side effect of certain medications), dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) with gastrostomy (surgical opening in the abdomen to insert a feeding tube directly into the stomach for nutrition). During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Siderail-Bedrail Safety Evaluation, dated 3/23, the P&P indicated, The facility attempts to use appropriate alternatives prior to installing a side or bed rail. If a bed or side rail is used, the facility must ensure correct installation, use, and maintenance of bed rails. 1.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Respect and Dignity - Physical Restraints, dated 3/23, the P&P indicated, The facility does not implement the use of a restraint at the resident or resident representative request in the absence of an evaluation and identification of a medical symptom that must be treated and includes the practitioner in the review and discussion. 2. According to Fundamentals of Nursing ([NAME] et al; Elsevier: 2023, p. 433), Side rails also can lead to patients becoming caught, trapped, entangled, or strangled, especially in those who are frail, elderly, or confused (FDA, 2017). Therefore, an assessment of a patient's mobility and responsiveness to instructions helps determine whether using a side rail is safe.
