F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure three out of 13 sampled residents (Resident 30, Resident 9, and Resident 10) are free from unnecessary psychotropic (drugs that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medications when: 1. Resident 30 received Depakote (it can be used to treat mood disorders, such as manic episodes in bipolar disorder, as well as seizures and migraines.) without target behavior monitoring, and there was no side effect monitoring. 2. Resident 9 received Trazodone (anti-depressant medication) without monitoring for number of hours of sleep. 3. Resident 10 received Depakote without target behavior monitoring. These failures had the potential for increased risks associated with the use of psychotropic medications that could negatively affect the residents physical mental and psychosocial well-being. 1. During a review of Resident 30's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 12/11/25, indicated Resident 30 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a disease that affects airflow in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe) unspecified and essential (primary) hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure that's not the result of a medical condition). During a review of Resident 30's order summary report, dated 12/11/25, indicated an order for Depakote sprinkles oral capsule delayed release sprinkle 125 mg (milligram) to give two capsules by mouth at bedtime for mood disorder, dated 8/30/2025. During a review of Resident 30's Medication Administration Record (MAR, a record of medications given) for month of November 2025 and December 11,2025, indicated there was no monitoring for the target behavior of mood disorder and there was no documentation of side effect monitoring for Depakote. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/11/25 at 3:41 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 30's physician's order. The DON confirmed there was no target behavior monitoring and there was no side effect monitoring for Resident 30's Depakote. The DON further stated psychotropic medication (used to treat mental disorders; a medication used to control behavior or to treat thought disorder processes) they need target behavior. 2. During a review of Resident 9's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 12/11/25, indicated Resident 9 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including COPD unspecified and essential (primary) hypertension. During a review of Resident 9's order summary report, dated 12/11/25, indicated an order for trazodone (used to treat depression) 50 mg, to give one tablet by mouth in the evening for insomnia (inability to sleep) , dated 6/19/25. During a review of Resident 9's MAR for month of September 18,2025, October 2025, November 2025, and December 11, 2025, it indicated the nursing staff did not monitor the actual number of hours that Resident 9 slept for pm and night shift since 9/18/25. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/11/25 at 4:05 p.m., with the DON, the DON reviewed Resident 9's physician's order and the MAR. The DON confirmed there was no number of hours of sleep on Resident 9's MAR. The DON stated she would fix it to see the actual hours of sleep. 3. During a review of Resident 10's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 12/11/25, indicated Resident 10 was admitted to the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 13 sampled residents (Resident 33) completed a Level II Mental Health Evaluation as part of the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR, a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals who have mental disorder or intellectual disabilities are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care). This failure had the potential for inaccurate care and services provided to residents with a mental disorder, intellectual disability, or related conditions. Findings:1. Review of Resident 33's clinical indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (mental health condition characterized by mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs). Review of Resident 33's preadmission PASRR Level 1 screening, dated 10/24/25 indicated Resident 33 had a positive Level I screening which indicated she should have a Level II Mental Health Evaluation. Review of Resident 33's letter from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) with a subject, Notice of Attempted Evaluation, dated 10/29/25, indicated a Level II evaluation was not completed. It indicated a Level II evaluation was not scheduled for the following reason: Facility staff were unresponsive to two or more separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the Level I Screening. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 1:44 p.m., Admissions/Marketing (AM) stated Resident 33 Level II evaluation fell through the cracks.

During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:37 p.m., with Director of Staff Development (DSD) and the Director of Nursing (DON), the DSD stated EBP is for residents with pressure injury, blistering and open skin. The DON stated Resident 7 has a chronic wound and needs enhanced barrier precautions. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Enhanced Standard/Barrier Precautions, updated 6/18/24, indicated, PURPOSE: To provide guidance and recommendations for implementing Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) to include the use of glove and gown during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status. 1. Implementation When implementing EBP, it is critical to ensure that staff have awareness of the facility's expectations about hand hygiene and gown/glove use, initial and refresher training, and access to appropriate supplies. To accomplish this: Post clear signage on the door or wall outside of the resident room indicating the required PPE (e.g., gown and gloves). For EBP, signage should also clearly indicate the high-contact resident care activities that require the use of gown and gloves. Make PPE, including gowns and gloves, available immediately outside of the resident room.

There was no documentation that indicated Resident 55 received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV, another type of pneumococcal vaccine, which include PCV15, PCV20, and PCV21; each protect against specific types of pneumococcal bacteria)Review of Resident 55's Medication Administration Record for 12/2025 indicated he received PPSV23 on 12/11/25 at 7:31 a.m. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12//2025 at 11:28 a.m., the Director of Staff Development/Infection Preventionist (DSD) reviewed Resident 55's immunization records and clinical record. The DSD confirmed Resident 55 was [AGE] years old and received the PPSV23 on 11/25/2014 and 3/23/2019. The DSD stated they gave him PPSV23 again because that's what he's been getting. The DSD stated the facility followed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to determine which pneumococcal vaccine to give and at what age.Review of the CDC's Pneumococcal Vaccine Recommendations, dated 10/26/24 indicated, Administer PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21 for all adults 50 years or older who have never received any pneumococcal conjugate vaccine [PCV].Review of the CDC's job aid, Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults, dated March 2025 indicated for adults 50 years or older who have only received PPSV23, give 1 dose of PCV15 or 1 dose PCV20 or 1 dose PCV21 at least 1 year after the last PPSV23 dose. If PCV15 is used, no additional PPSV23 doses are recommended.
