What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 10 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 34) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) when the physician did not document the reason a gradual dose reduction (GDR, stepwise tapering of a dose to determine if conditions can be managed by a lower dose or if the medication can be discontinued altogether) was contraindicated. This failure had the potential to result in unnecessary or prolonged use of the psychotropic medication, which could increase the resident's risk of experiencing side effects (undesirable effects from the medication).Findings:Review of Resident 34's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and atrial fibrillation (AFib, an irregular heart rhythm).Review of Resident 34's physician orders indicated she had orders for Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) two times a day for agitation, delusion, and paranoia, dated 9/13/25 and sertraline 100 mg one time a day for depressionReview of Resident 34's Consultation Report, dated 5/15/26 indicated, If GDR [gradual dose reduction] is contraindicated at this time, please provide a risks vs benefits statement. The report further indicated the physician responded and checked the box, I decline the recommendation(s) above due to the reasons below. The physician's hand-written rationale indicated, Continue as ordered. There was no documentation of a risks vs benefits statement for Resident 34.During an interview on 9/19/2025 at 2:05 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse B (LVN B) stated she was unable to find further physician documentation. Review of the facility's policy, Psychotropic Medication Use, revised 4/1/22 indicated, Physician/Prescriber should document the clinical rationale for why any additional attempted dose reduction at that time would be likely to impair the resident's function or increase distressed behavior.Review of the facility's policy, Medication Regimen Review, revised 6/5/24 indicated, 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. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 34) when Resident 34's MDS assessment did not reflect the use of antipsychotic medication (used to treat psychosis and other mental health disorders). This failure resulted in an inaccurate MDS assessment, which had the potential to affect the resident's care.Findings:Review of Resident 34's clinical record indicated she was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and atrial fibrillation (AFib, an irregular heart rhythm).Review of Resident 34's physician orders indicated she had orders for Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) two times a day for agitation, delusion, and paranoia, dated 9/13/25. Review of Resident 34's previous physician orders indicated she had orders for Seroquel starting in 11/2024.Review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), dated 7/24/25 indicated the resident was taking an antipsychotic. The MDS further indicated, No - Antipsychotics were not received for the question, Did the resident receive antipsychotic medications .?During an interview on 9/19/25 at 1:26 p.m., the MDS Coordinator (MDS) stated the answer should be, Yes. The MDS stated she will submit a modification.

This failure resulted in the installation and use of Resident 99's bed rails without a plan of care. This failure had the potential to result in Resident 99's serious injury.Findings:Review of Resident 99's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 9/18/2025, indicated Resident 99 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including non-displaced fracture (broken bone) of lesser trochanter of left femur (a small, cone-shaped bony bump on the inside, back part of the upper thigh bone [femur], near the neck of the bone joins the shaft), epilepsy (a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures), and hyponatremia (a condition where the sodium level in the blood is too low).Review of Resident 99's clinical record titled, SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility]-Side Rail Assessment Form, dated 9/12/2025, indicated alternatives were attempted prior to bed rail or side rail use like bed was lowered, adequate lighting, call light was provided and a trapeze bar was used but unsuccessful. Further review, the interdisciplinary team's (IDT - a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for residents) decision based on the assessment indicated, YES-APPROPRIATE FOR UPPER SIDE RAIL USE.During an observation on 9/15/2025 at 11:04 a.m., inside Resident 99's room, Resident 99 was in bed, with four bed rails installed on his bed and the two upper bed rails were in upright position.During a concurrent observation and interview with registered nurse A (RN A) on 9/17/2025 at 1:27 p.m., inside Resident 99's room, Resident 99 was in bed and the bed had two upper bed rails in upright position.
