This survey cited 20 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a care plan was developed and/or initiated to address the long term use of the medication potassium chloride (potassium supplement) for one of six residents reviewed (Resident 33) for appropriate medication use.This failure has the potential for Resident 33 to not be monitored for the effectiveness and/or side effects of the medication. Findings:On September 24, 2025, Resident 33's record was reviewed. Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including hypertension (high blood pressure) and localized edema (a condition where fluid accumulates in a specific area of the body, causing swelling).The active physician orders indicated the following:-Potassium Chloride ER (extended-release) Tab to be given 40 milliequivalent (mEq- unit of measurement) by mouth one time a day for potassium supplement, date ordered June 22, 2021; and -Lasix (medication used to treat edema and hypertension by increasing urination and preventing the body from absorbing excess salt) 40 milligrams (mg- unit of measurement) by mouth one time a day for generalized edema, date ordered August 18, 2025.The document titled, Care Plan Report, dated June 19, 2024, indicated, .Focus .Lasix .Resident at risk for adverse effects .Furosemide (generic name for Lasix) is a potent diuretic (medication that increases urination) that, if given in excessive amounts, can lead to profound diuresis (excessive production and excretion of urine by the kidneys) with water and electrolyte depletion. Therefore, careful supervision is required .Goal .Resident's risk for the use .will be monitored/identified by the licensed nurse. MD (Medical Doctor) will be promptly notified .Interventions .Monitor for potential risk/effects and alert MD when indicated .There was no documented evidence of a care plan initiated and/or developed to address the use of potassium chloride ER since it was ordered on June 22, 2021.On September 25, 2025, at 9:10 a.m., an interview with a concurrent record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated:-Resident 33 had a physician's order for Potassium Chloride ER Tab to be given 40 mEq by mouth one time a day for potassium supplement. The DON stated Resident 33 was currently on the medication Lasix and the medication potassium chloride may be an adjunct (added as a supplement) to the Lasix use. -Resident 33 did not have an active care plan on the use of the medication potassium chloride supplement.-A care plan should have been initiated and/or developed when the medication potassium chloride tablet for supplement was ordered in June 22, 2021. This care plan would include monitoring the effectiveness and/or side effects of the medication.On September 25, 2025, at 11:25 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool) Nurse. The MDS Nurse stated:-She was responsible for reviewing and updating the residents' care plans during the comprehensive and quarterly assessments.-The potassium chloride tablet order was probably an adjunct to the Lasix medication use. -The indication for the of potassium chloride as a potassium supplement should have been reviewed and clarified with the Resident 33's physician when they did the comprehensive and quarterly assessments. The MDS Nurse stated this was not (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.

For Resident 7, the medication insulin (a medication that regulates the amount of sugar in the blood), was administered outside of the physician ordered parameter; 1b. For Resident 7, the licensed nurses did not contact the physician for blood sugar levels outside of the physician's ordered parameter; 1c. For Resident 7, the medication glucagon (a medication for emergency treatment of very low blood sugar) was administered outside of the physician's ordered parameter; 2a. For Resident 38, the medication insulin was administered outside of the physician ordered parameter; and 2b. For Resident 38, the licensed nurses did not contact the physician for blood sugar levels outside of the physician's ordered parameter. These failures had the potential for Resident 7 and Resident 38 to experience avoidable episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and/or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).Findings: Residents Affected - Some 1a. On September 24, 2025, Resident 7's medical record was reviewed. The admission record indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), long term use of insulin (medication that regulates amount of sugar in the blood), and dementia (loss of intellectual functioning). The history and physical completed by the physician on December 7, 2023, indicated Resident 7 had no capacity to make decisions. The physician order dated September 1, 2025, indicated for Resident 7, the medication insulin lispro injection solution inject 6 units subcutaneously (underneath the skin) after meals for DM (diabetes mellitus) hold if blood sugar (BS) less than 150. The MAR (medication administration record) dated for the month of September 2025, indicated the following: On September 2, Resident 7 was administered the 8 a.m., dose of the medication insulin lispro injection solution 6 units with a blood sugar of 131, outside of the physician ordered parameters to hold if BS less than 150.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the nebulizer (a small device that converts liquid medication into an inhalable mist) used to administer respiratory treatment was changed after seven days, in accordance with the facility policy and procedure, for one (Resident 12) of one resident reviewed for oxygen use. This failure had the potential to result in bacterial growth that could affect the health of the vulnerable resident population.Findings: During an observation on September 22, 2025, at 11:33 a.m., Resident 12 was observed in bed, awake and alert. A nebulizer set-up was observed in a clear plastic bag, hanging on the wall. The clear plastic bag was labeled with Resident 12's name, room number and a date of 8/25. During an observation on September 24, 2025, at 10:05 a.m., a clear plastic bag was observed hanging on the wall labeled with Resident 12's name, room number and a date of 8/25. During an interview on September 24, 2025, at 10:19 a.m., with the Respiratory Therapist (RT), he stated all respiratory equipment including oxygen canula (a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen) and nebulizer set-up should be changed every week. The RT verified Resident 12's nebulizer set-up had a date of 8/25. In a concurrent record review with the RT, he stated Resident 12 had an order for nebulized treatment every four hours as needed. The RT stated the licensed nurses gave Resident 12's nebulized treatment. He stated the licensed nurse should check the date when the nebulizer set-up was last changed. He stated the licensed nurse should have changed the nebulizer set-up once a week. During an interview on September 24, 2025, at 10:33 a.m., with the Registered Nurse (RN), she stated respiratory set-up should be changed once a week. The RN stated the RT was responsible for changing all respiratory set-up but the licensed nurse who administered the nebulized treatment should check the date of the set-up before administering the nebulized treatment.
