**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide bilateral handsocks (a type of glove
that covers the hands) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 8) in accordance with the physician's
order.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 1's self-esteem (self-worth) and psychosocial
well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 8 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included dementia (progressive loss of intellectual functioning,
impairment of memory and thinking) and contracture (shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons and
other tissue leading to deformity and rigidity of joints) of the left elbow.
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 10/20/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand)
and was totally dependent on staff with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 8's Physician's Order (PO), dated 11/21/2023, the PO indicated, Resident 8
had an order for bilateral handsocks to maintain good quality care to prevent scratching self.
During a review of Resident 8's untitled Resident Care Plan (RCP) dated 11/21/2023, the RCP indicated,
Resident 8 was at risk for skin alteration related to resident scratching self. The RCP interventions included
for staff to apply bilateral hand socks to Resident 8 to maintain good quality care and prevent the resident
from scratching.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 11:02 am with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) inside Resident 8's room, Resident 8 had non-slippery foot socks on bilateral hands. The
ADON stated non-slippery foot socks were used to prevent Resident 8 from scratching the gastrostomy
tube (GT, surgical insertion of a tube, creating an artificial external opening into the stomach for nutritional
support) site and arms.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/20/2023 at 2:59 pm with the ADON, Resident 8's
PO dated 11/21/2023 was reviewed. The ADON stated Resident 8 had an order for bilateral handsocks and
not a non-slippery foot socks. The ADON stated non-slippery foot socks should not be used on

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light (an alerting device for
staff to assist a resident in need) was within reach for one of one sampled resident (Resident 42).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 42 not receiving care and assistance in a
timely manner.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 42's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 42 was
admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of
muscle mass) and malignant neoplasm of the brain (brain cancer).
During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 10/9/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 42 had clear speech, had ability to express ideas and wants
and had ability to understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 42 was cognitively intact (able to think
and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 42 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort, helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for sit to lying,
toilet transfer and personal hygiene, and was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of
the effort to complete the activity) for chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:49 am, in Resident 42's room, Resident
42 was lying in bed. Resident 42's call light was on the floor at the back of Resident 42's head of bed.
Resident 42 stated she was not able to find the call light and not able to reach it.
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:58 am, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) stated, Resident 42's
call light was on the floor and was not within reach of Resident 42. LVN 2 stated Resident 42's call light
should be within reach of the resident so Resident 42 could use to call for help when needed. LVN 2 stated,
residents would get hurt trying to get out of bed by themselves if the call light was not within reach.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Answering the Call Light, revised 3/2021,
the P&P indicated, when the resident is in bed or confined to a chair, be sure the call light is within easy
reach of the resident.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure to provide information of advance care planning (a
process of communication between individuals and their healthcare agents to understand, reflect on,
discuss, and plan for future healthcare decisions for a time when individuals are not able to make their own
healthcare decisions.) for one of one sampled resident (Resident 42).
This deficient practice had the potential for facility staff to provide treatment against the resident's will.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 42's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 42 was
admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of
muscle mass) and malignant neoplasm of brain (brain cancer).
During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 10/9/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 42 had clear speech, had ability to express ideas and wants
and had ability to understand others. Resident 42 was cognitively intact (able to think, reason and
organize). Resident 42 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort,
helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for sit to lying, toilet transfer and
personal hygiene, and was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to
complete the activity) for chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a review of Resident 42's Advance Directive (AD, a written instruction, such as a living will or
durable power of attorney for health care relating to the provision of health care when the individual is
incapacitated) Acknowledgement form, dated 10/5/2023, the AD acknowledgement form was not
completed.
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 3:13 pm, Social Service Director (SSD) stated, there was no AD
offered to Resident 42 in Resident 42's medical record. SSD stated the AD should be screened upon
admission to get to know the resident's choices and treatment preferences. SSD stated, the AD provides
care guidance for the residents so the facility could provide care and treatment to meet their wishes. SSD
stated it was resident's right to formulate AD and complete the AD acknowledgement form.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Advance Directives, revised 12/2016, the P&P
indicated, prior to or upon admission of a resident, the Social Service Director or designee will inquire of
the resident, his/her family members and/or his or her legal representative, about the existence of any
written advance directives.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a comfortable and home
like environment for one of one sampled resident (Resident 42).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 42 not residing in a comfortable environment that could
affect Resident 42's quality of life.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 42's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 42 on 10/2/2023, with diagnoses that included difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss
of muscle mass), and malignant neoplasm of brain (brain cancer).
During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 10/9/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 42 had clear speech, had ability to express ideas and wants
and had ability to understand others. Resident 42 was cognitively intact (able to think, reasoning and

helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for sit to lying, toilet transfer and
personal hygiene, and was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to
complete the activity) for chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:49 am in Resident 42's room, Resident
42 was lying in bed. There was a suction device (a medical device used to eliminate fluids or gases like
mucus, vomit, blood, saliva, serum, or other secretions from the body cavities) and canister (a container
that holds the patient's secretions) on Resident 42's bedside nightstand and another suction device and
canister in the opened drawer of the nightstand. The top of the nightstand surface and drawer were fully
occupied by suction devices and canisters with tubes. Resident 42 stated, it is too messy here, it takes
away my spaces. Resident 42 stated, she did not know why there were two sets of suction devices in her
room.
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:58 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated one
set of the suction device was from the facility and the other set was from the hospice (end of life care)
agency. LVN 2 stated, the staff should not leave two sets of suction devices at the bedside because it took
away drawer spaces from Resident 42. LVN 2 stated, the environment for Resident 42 was messy and not
homelike. LVN 2 stated, the facility should provide clean, comfortable, and homelike environment to the
residents to promote residents' quality of life.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Environment-Homelike, revised in 5/2017,
the P&P indicated, The facility staff and management shall maximize, to the extent possible, the
characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting. These characteristics include
clean, sanitary, and orderly environment.

actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement an individualized a person-centered
plan of care (details why a person is receiving care, assessed health or care needs, medical history,
personal details, expected and aimed outcomes, and what care and support will be delivered, how, when
and by whom) with measurable objectives and interventions to meet the residents' needs for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 5) as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedure, titled Care Plans,
Comprehensive.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 5 not to receive appropriate care, treatment and/or
services.
Finding:
During a review of Resident 5's admission record, the admission record indicated, the facility readmitted
Resident 5 on 11/26/2023 with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia (long term and often gradual
decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning) with
mood disturbance and Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease with specific brain abnormalities
marked by memory loss and progressive inability to function normally at even the simplest tasks).
During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report, dated 11/26/2023, the report indicated for
Resident 5 to receive Lexapro (Escitalopram, a medication to treat depression [a feeling of severe sadness
or hopelessness]) 20 milligrams (mg) one tablet by mouth, one time a day for depression, manifested by
self-report of feelings of sadness.
During a review of Resident 5's Elopement Risk Evaluation, dated 11/26/2023, the evaluation indicated
Resident 5 was assessed as moderate risk for elopement. The form indicated Resident 5 required care
planning for risk for elopement.
During a review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P) assessment dated [DATE], the H&P indicated
Resident 5 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to revise a plan of care for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 15), who sustained a fall from his bed on 9/25/2023 as indicated in the facility's
policy Care Plans, Comprehensive.
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 15 at risk for recurrent falls.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 15's admission record indicated, the facility admitted Resident 15 on
11/14/2021 with diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease (an age-related brain condition that affects
movement resulting in lack of coordination and tremors) and unspecified dementia (long term and often
gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning).
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool), dated 11/16/2023, the MDS indicated, Resident 15's cognition for daily decision making was severely
impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 15 required total dependence with eating, oral and toileting hygiene,
shower, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan titled, Fall Risk, initiated on 2/20/2023, the care plan indicated
Resident 15 had history of falls prior to admission. Resident 15's care plan did not indicate Resident 15 had
a fall on 9/25/2023. The care plan interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep the resident's bed at
lowest position and to place bilateral floor mat.
During a review of Resident 15's Post Fall Assessment, dated 9/25/2023, the Post Fall Assessment
indicated Resident 15 was found lying next to the bed on Resident 15's floor mat. The Post Fall Assessment
indicated Resident 15's care plan was revised.
During a review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Conference Record dated 9/26/2023, the record
indicated Resident 15 was found lying on her left side on the floor on 9/25/2023.
During a review of Resident 15's Fall Risk Assessment (method of assessing a patient's likelihood of
falling), dated 9/27/2023, the assessment indicated Resident 15 was assessed as high risk for fall.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/20/2023 at 4:10 pm, with the facility Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 15's medical record was reviewed. The DON stated, Resident 15's care plan
was not revised to address interventions for Resident 15 after a fall on 9/25/2023. The DON stated,
Resident 15's care plan needed to be revised to determine if fall interventions were effective or not.
During a record review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive,
revised December 2016, the P&P indicated assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are
revised as information about the residents and the resident's conditions change.

Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide an effective communication
method for one of one non-English speaking sampled resident (Resident 18).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 18 to not receive the necessary care and services due to the lack
of effective communication aids.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 18's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 18 on 9/29/2023, with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a
lung disease causing restricted airflow and breathing problems) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disease
that occurs when the blood sugar is too high).
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 11/20/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 18 had clear speech, usually understood others, and
usually made self-understood. The MDS indicated Resident 18 was dependent (helper does all of the effort,
resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff for eating, personal hygiene, and transfer.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:12 am, Resident 18 was lying in bed
awake. There was a communication board (paper pamphlet that displays photos, symbols, or illustrations to
help people with limited language skills express themselves) next to Resident 18's bedside stand. The
communication board indicated the translation language was Arabic (the language of the Arabs, spoken in
a variety of dialects).
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:26 am with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
Resident 18 did not speak English and Resident 18 spoke Arabic. CNA 1 stated, it was hard to
communicate with Resident 18 due to language barrier and the communication board was not enough to
understand the Resident 18's needs. CNA 1 stated, Resident 18's family member translated for Resident 18
when the family member visited the resident in the facility. CNA 1 stated, there was no other method for the
staff to communicate with non-English speaking residents except the use of communication board.
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 2:16 pm with Social Service Director (SSD), SSD stated Resident 18
spoke Arabic and the facility did not have a staff that spoke Arabic. SSD stated, the facility used a
communication board as a translation tool between the staff and non-English speaking residents. SSD
stated, the facility needed to have more communication methods for non-English speaking residents when
the communication board was not enough. SSD stated, it was important for the staff to be able to
communicate with the residents so the staff can know their needs and the facility could assess the
residents and provide the necessary care without delay.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Environment-Homelike, revised in 5/2017,
the P&P indicated, Providing and assisting residents with communication aids through the use of

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assign a designated staff to coordinate with
hospice care (end of life care) for one of one sampled resident (Resident 42).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 42 to not receive individualized compassionate care that could
affect Resident 42's quality of life.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 42's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 42 on 10/2/2023, with diagnoses that included difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss
of muscle mass), and malignant neoplasm of brain (brain cancer).
During a review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 10/9/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 42 had clear speech, ability to express ideas and wants, and
ability to understand others. Resident 42 was cognitively intact (able to think, reasoning and organize).
Resident 42 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort, helper lifts or
holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for sit to lying, toilet transfer and personal
hygiene, and was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity) for chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a review of Hospice 1's Care Visit Schedule for 10/2023, the Care Visit Schedule indicated, a
Certified Home Health Aid (CHHA) was scheduled to visit Resident 42 on 10/4/2023, 10/7/2023,
10/11/2023, 10/14/2023, 10/18/2023, 10/21/2023, 10/25/2023, 10/28/2023, and 10/31/2023. There was no
care visit schedule provided for 11/2023 and 12/2023.
During a review of Hospice 1's Patient Care Sign In Sheet, undated, for Resident 42, the Patient Care Sign
In Sheet indicated, CHHA 1 signed in and signed out on 10/5/2023, 10/6/2023, and 10/10/2023.
During a review of Resident 42's Order Summary Report for 12/2023, the Order Summary Report indicated
Resident 42 was admitted to the facility under care of Hospice 1 on 10/2/2023.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/2023 at 2:41 pm with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 42's medical record was reviewed. DON stated, the facility had a communication binder at
the nursing station for Resident 42 with Hospice 1. DON stated, Resident 42 had a monthly care visit
schedule from Hospice 1 for CHHA and licensed nurse care, and the monthly schedule should be placed in
the binder. DON stated, there was no care visit schedule for 11/2023 and 12/2023 in the binder. DON
stated, CHHA 1 needed to sign in and sign out each time CHHA 1 provided hospice services and
communicate with the facility staff to keep the facility staff informed. DON stated, there was no designated
facility staff to coordinate services with hospice care. DON stated, it was important to have a designated
staff to follow up and make sure hospice care was provided and resident needs were met. DON stated,
there must be good communication between the hospice agency and the facility to provide hospice
residents with consistent quality care to improve residents' quality of life.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Hospice Program, revised in 7/2017, the
P&P indicated, it is the responsibility of the facility to meet the resident's personal care and nursing needs
in coordination with the hospice representative, and ensure that the level of

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. During a
review of Resident 17's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 17 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], with diagnoses that included abnormalities of gait (a person's manner of walking) and mobility
(the ability to move), osteoarthritis (degeneration of joint cartilage and bone), epilepsy (brain disorder in
which a person has repeated seizures [convulsions]over time and dementia (long term and often gradual
decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning).
During a review of Resident 17's Resident Care Plan (RCP) titled Falls dated 12/5/2022, the RCP indicated
Resident 17 was at risk for falls/injury related to poor body balance/control, poor safety
awareness/judgement, history of falls, seizure disorder (sudden, uncontrollable burst of electrical activity in
the brain), arthritis (inflammation on one or more joints causing pain and stiffness) and osteoporosis (bones
become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue). The RCP indicated the interventions included to provide
Resident17 with a safe and clutter-free environment.
During a review of Resident 17's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated, Resident 17's cognition (ability to
understand) for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 17 required
supervision with eating, oral, toileting hygiene and upper body dressing and moderate assistance with
shower, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:23 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse
1 (LVN 1) inside Resident 17's room, Resident 17 had a landing pad (bedside fall mats that are placed
along the side of the bed and designed to help prevent injury from potential falls) all the way to the wall and
away from Resident 17's bed. On top of the landing pad were a bedside table, a walker (a mobility aid used
to help people walk) and a trash bin. LVN 1 stated Resident 17's landing pad needed to be clutter-free and
placed close and next to Resident 17's bed to prevent injury in case of a fall or seizure.
During a review of Resident 17's Physician's Oder dated 12/19/23 at 5:00 pm, the order indicated for staff
to provide landing pad to Resident 17.
During an interview on 12/22/2023 at 9:56 am with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated landing pad should be placed next to the bed for the resident to land on the pad and not on the floor
in the event of a fall or seizure.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Fall Risk Assessment. With a revised date
of March 2018, the P&P indicated, Assessment data shall be used to identify underlying medical conditions
that may increase the risk of injury from falls (such as osteoporosis or osteopenia). The staff and the
attending physician will collaborate to identify and address modifiable fall risk factors and interventions to
try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not modifiable. Such interventions may include the
use of landing mattress to minimize the effects of any potential injury which may occur.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement fall intervention to utilize
bilateral landing mats for two of two sampled residents (Resident 15 and Resident 17) who had history of
falls as indicated in residents care plan titled Fall Risk.

These deficient practices had the potential to result in serious consequences like fractures (break in the
bone) and bleeding that may accompany with falls.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 15's admission record indicated, the facility admitted Resident 15 on
11/14/2021 with diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease (an age-related brain condition that affects
movement resulting in lack of coordination and tremors) and unspecified dementia (long term and often
gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning).
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool), dated 11/16/2023, the MDS indicated, Resident 15's cognition for daily decision making was severely
impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 15 required total dependence with eating, oral and toileting hygiene.
During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan titled, Fall Risk, initiated on 2/20/2023, the care plan indicated
Resident 15 had history of falls prior to admission. The care plan did not indicate Resident 15 had an
incident of fall for the last two to six months. The care plan interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep
Resident 15's bed at the lowest position and place bilateral floor mat.
During a review of Resident 15's Order Summary Report, dated 2/26/2022, the order indicated for staff to
place bilateral floor mats for Resident 15 for fall precaution.
During a review of Resident 15's Fall Risk Assessment (method of assessing a patient's likelihood of
falling), dated 9/27/2023, the assessment indicated Resident 15 was assessed as high risk for fall.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:06 am, with Infection Prevention Nurse
(IPN), Resident 15 was asleep in bed. The floor mat was placed next to the wall, approximately 1 foot and
1/2 away from the Resident 15's bed. The IPN stated, Resident 15's floor mat needed be closer to the
resident's bed for it to catch the resident in case of a fall. The IPN stated Resident 15 had history of fall and
the purpose of the floor mat was to prevent severe injury if Resident 15 had another fall.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/2023 at 2:06 pm with the facility's Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 15's Fall Risk care plan was reviewed. The DON stated nursing staff needed to
place bilateral floor mats next to Resident 15's bed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/2023 at 3:37 pm with the DON of the facility's
Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised 3/2018, the P&P indicated
examples of approaches include rearranging room furniture, etc. that included to place bilateral floor mats.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the physician's order to set
up Gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube that is placed directly into the stomach through an abdominal wall
incision for administration of food, fluids, and medications) feeding of Fibersource HN (nutritionally
complete tube feeding formula) via pump (a machine used to infuse nutrition formula through G-Tube to the
stomach) for one of four sampled residents with tube feeding (Resident 28).
This failure had the potential to result in weight loss and malnutrition for Resident 28 and could affect
Resident 28's health condition.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 28's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility readmitted
Resident 28 on 12/15/2022, with diagnoses that included gastrointestinal hemorrhage (bleeding in digestive
tract) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During a review of Resident 28's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 10/31/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 28 had clear speech, usually understood others, and
sometimes made self-understood. Resident 28 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does
none of the effort to complete the activity) for personal hygiene and bed-to-chair transfer.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:49 am, Resident 28 was sitting in the
activity room watching TV. Resident 28 was on G-tube feeding. Resident 28's G-tube feeding pump was
running at 80 milliliters (ml, unit of measurement) per hour (ml/hr) of water with a total of 320 ml water
infused. Resident 28's G-tube feeding pump monitor screen indicated the pump was running the
Fibersource HN formula at 0 ml/hr. Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) stated, Resident 28's feeding
pump was set up wrong and Resident 28 received 320 ml of water instead of 320 ml of formula in the last 4
hours of infusion. LVN 2 stated, the tube feeding formula was Resident 28's primary nutrition intake, and not
receiving the nutrition as ordered might cause weight loss and malnutrition for Resident 28. LVN 2 stated,
she needed to double check Resident 28's physician order to make sure the feeding pump was set up
correctly to avoid possible decline of Resident 28's health condition.
During a review of Resident 28's Order Summary Report for 12/2023, the Order Summary Report indicated
Resident 28 was ordered Fibersource HN via pump at 80 ml/hr for 20 hours and water flushing of 30 ml/hr
for 20 hours.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Enteral Feeding Protocol, revised on
6/22/2021, the P&P indicated, Verify physician enteral order; confirm the following information prior to
initiating enteral therapy: right resident to receive therapy, right time for therapy, right formula as prescribed
in the enteral order, right route in order for the resident to received therapy. Each nursing shift is designated
to check and insure correct enteral infusion rates and dose limits at the start of each shift.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. During a
review of Resident 149's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 149 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], with diagnoses that included perforation of intestine (loss of continuity of the bowel wall) and
cirrhosis of liver (liver is scarred and permanently damaged).
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 149's Resident Care Plan (RCP) titled Oxygen Therapy dated 12/15/2023, the
RCP indicated, Resident 149 was on oxygen (colorless and odorless gas) therapy due to episodes of
shortness of breath related to abdominal wound incision (a surgical cut made anywhere on the abdomen).
The RCP indicated the interventions included to administer oxygen at 2 liter/minute (l/min, flow rate) via
nasal cannula (a device that gives additional oxygen through the nose) as ordered.
During a record review of Resident 149's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 12/15/2023, the OSR did
not indicate Resident 149 had an order for oxygen at 2 l/min via nasal cannula.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 10:18 am with the Assistant Director of

During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/20/2023 at 2:05 pm with the ADON, Resident 149's
OSR, dated 12/15/2023 was reviewed. The OSR did not indicate an order for continuous use of oxygen for
Resident 149. The ADON stated continuous or as needed use of oxygen required a doctor's order to
determine the parameters (a numerical or measurable factor forming one of a set that defines a system or
sets the condition of its operation) to ensure Resident 149 was not getting too little or too much oxygen.
During an interview on 12/20/2023 at 2:15 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
continuous or as needed use of oxygen needed a doctor's order to support the plan of care for Resident
149.
c. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 8 was admitted to

chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as it should).
During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 10/20/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition and was totally
dependent on staff with oral hygiene, toileting, shower, and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 11:02 am with the ADON inside Resident
8's room, the ADON stated Resident 8 had a continuous oxygen of 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/20/2023 at 2:47pm with the ADON, Resident 8's
Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 11/2023 and 12/2023 were reviewed. The OSR did not indicate an
order for continuous use of oxygen for Resident 8. The ADON stated continuous or as needed use of
oxygen required a doctor's order to determine the parameters to ensure Resident 8 was not getting too little
or too much oxygen.

During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Oxygen Therapy, the P&P indicated, It is the facility's
policy to provide oxygen to residents, in a safe and therapeutic manner. Oxygen therapy shall be
administered as ordered by the physician or as an emergency measure, such as signs and symptoms of
respiratory distress. In which case administration of oxygen shall be done as a nursing measure. Once
oxygen is applied, notify physician for further orders.
Residents Affected - Some
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to administer oxygen therapy
(treatment that provides supplemental oxygen) for three of three sampled residents (Residents 199, 149
and 8) according to standards of practice and with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen
Therapy.
a. Resident 199 did not receive two liters of oxygen as ordered by the physician.
b. Resident 149 received continuous oxygen therapy without a physician's order.
c. Resident 8 received continuous oxygen therapy without a physician's order.
These deficient practices placed Residents 199, 149 and 8 at risk for shortness of breath and/or hypoxia
(low levels of oxygen in the body tissues) which can lead to serious complications.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 199's admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 199 on 12/12/2023 with diagnoses that included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPDa type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long term poor airflow).
During a review of Resident 199's Care Plan titled, Oxygen Therapy, dated 12/12/2023, the care plan
indicated Resident 199 was on oxygen therapy. The care plan interventions included for nursing staff to
administer oxygen at two liters per minute (L/min) through nasal cannula, as ordered and to change oxygen
tubing and humidifiers every Sunday and as needed.
During a review of Resident 199's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/15/2023, the H&P indicated
Resident 199 did not have the capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
During an observation on 12/19/2023, at 9:46 am, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 199
was asleep, lying in bed with oxygen concentrator on. Resident 199's nasal cannula tubing was hanging on
the oxygen concentrator (a medical device that concentrates oxygen from environmental air and delivers it
to the resident in need of supplemental oxygen) and the nasal cannula tubing prongs were not placed in
Resident 199's nares.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023, at 9:48 am with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated oxygen
concentrator should be turned off if not in used and the nasal prongs should be placed in the resident's
nares when in use.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 12/20/2023 at 2:36 pm with the facility's Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 199's Order Summary Report was reviewed. The Order Summary Report dated
12/12/2023 indicated to administer oxygen at two liters per minute via nasal cannula, may titrate between
two to five L/min every shift for shortness of breath. The DON stated Resident 199 needed to receive

Observe each nurse aide's job performance and give regular training.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a performance evaluation for at least
once every 12 months for one of two sampled Certified Nursing Assistants 3 (CNA 3).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for the facility to not be aware of CNA 3's competency skills and techniques
and miss the opportunity to provide the necessary in-service education specific to CNA 3's performance
which could negatively affect the provision of care to residents.
Findings:
During a review of CNA 3's personnel file and Employee Evaluation Report, the report indicated CNA 3 had
a general performance evaluation on 3/7/2022. There was no evaluation report for 2023 in CNA 3's
personnel file.
During an interview on 12/21/2023 at 10:21 am with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), DSD stated
CNA 3's last performance evaluation was completed on 3/7/2022 and there was no performance evaluation
completed for CNA 3 in 2023. DSD stated, CNA 3's annual performance evaluation should have been
completed in 3/2023. DSD stated, performance evaluation should be done at least every 12 months for all
staff to make sure staff skills were up to date and the facility was aware of staff weaknesses and strengths
to provide quality and competent care to residents.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Performance Evaluations, revised in
6/2010, the P&P indicated, A performance evaluation will be completed on each employee at the
conclusion of his/her 90-day probationary period, and at lease annually thereafter.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to act upon the pharmacist's monthly medication
regimen review (MRR, a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of
promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences associated with medication)
recommendation to obtain an informed consent for the use of Venlafaxine (medication used to treat
depression, anxiety disorder and panic disorder) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 38) on
psychotropic medication (medication that affects brain activities associated with mental process and
behavior).
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 38 receiving an unnecessary medication and could
prevent Resident 38 from maintaining the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 38 on 9/20/2023, with diagnoses that included Type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disease in which there
is a high level of sugar in the blood) and hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body).
During a review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool)
dated 9/25/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 38 had clear speech, usually understood others, and usually
made himself understood. The MDS indicated Resident 38 was totally dependent (full staff performance
every time during entire 7-day period) with one-person physical assist for bed mobility, toilet use, and
personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 38's Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review (MRR), dated
10/5/2023, the MRR indicated, Resident 38 was on Venlafaxine and for the facility to make sure informed
consent was obtained by the prescriber.
During a review of Resident 38's Order Summary Report for 12/2023, the Order Summary Report indicated
Venlafaxine 37.5mg (milligram) one tablet by mouth two times a day for neuropathic pain (pain caused by
dysfunction in the nervous system) ordered on 9/20/2023.
During an interview on 12/21/2023 at 8:47 am with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated
she was in charge of reviewing the MRR report from the facility's pharmacist. ADON stated, she would
review and act upon the pharmacist's recommendations. ADON stated, she was aware of the pharmacist's
recommendation regarding obtaining an inform consent from the prescriber for Resident 38's use of
Venlafaxine. ADON stated, she did not notify Resident 38's physician regarding the pharmacist's
recommendation to obtain informed consent for the use of Venlafaxine. ADON stated, it was important to
communicate with the resident's physician regarding the pharmacist's MRR to avoid possible medication
error and unnecessary use of medications.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Drug Regimen Review, undated, the P&P
indicated, licensed charge nurse, if needed, shall follow up with primary care physician for actions
recommended by the pharmacy consultant.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the nasal cannula (NC,
small flexible tube with two prongs that sit inside the nostrils to deliver supplemental oxygen) was labeled
and dated, the tubing was not touching the floor, and the NC prongs were not touching the oxygen
humidifier (device used to provide moistened oxygen) when not in use for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 20) on oxygen therapy in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure titled, Oxygen
Therapy.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in an increased risk of spread of infection to the residents,
staff, and other visitors in the facility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 199's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 199 on 12/12/2023, with diagnoses that included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD,
a chronic inflammatory lung disease that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
During a review of Resident 199's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/15/2023, the H&P indicated,
Resident 199 did not have the capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 199's Order Summary Report, dated 12/12/2023, the Order Summary Report
indicated, to administer oxygen at two (2) liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula and may titrate
between 2 to 5 L/min every shift for shortness of breath.
During a review of Resident 199's Care Plan titled, Oxygen Therapy, dated 12/12/2023, the care plan
indicated, Resident 199 was on oxygen therapy. The care plan interventions included for the nursing staff to
administer oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula as ordered and to change the oxygen tubing and
humidifiers every Sunday and as needed.
During an observation on 12/19/2023 at 9:46 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 199
was asleep, lying in bed with the oxygen concentrator on. Resident 199's undated nasal cannula was not on
the resident's nostrils. The nasal cannula tubing was hanging on the oxygen concentrator and touching the
floor and the nasal cannula prongs were touching the oxygen humidifier.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:48 am with LVN 2, Resident 199's nasal
cannula was observed. LVN 2 stated, Resident 199's nasal cannula tubing should not be touching the floor.
LVN 2 stated, the tubing should be labeled with the date and the tubing should be stored in a bag when not
in use to keep the tubing clean and for infection control. LVN 2 stated, the nasal cannula prongs should not
be touching the oxygen humidifier and the tubing should not be touching the floor to prevent cross
contamination (the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from
one substance or object to another, with harmful effect). LVN 2 stated, she would replace the whole tubing.
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:50 am with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated the
nasal cannula tubing should be labeled and not touching the floor because the floor was dirty and to
prevent cross contamination. The IPN stated, nasal cannula should be stored in the storage bag if not in
use.

resident rooms.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to meet the 80 square feet (sq. ft., a
unit area of measurement) per resident in multiple resident bedrooms requirement for 18 of 24 resident
rooms (Rooms 101, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119 and
122) in the facility.
This failure had the potential to affect residents' privacy and result in the residents not having adequate
space for nursing care and emergency services.
Findings:
During an interview on 12/19/2023 at 9:39 am with the administrator (ADM), the ADM stated the facility had
18 out of 24 resident rooms that did not meet the minimum requirement of 80 sq. ft. per resident in multiple
resident rooms. The ADM submitted a room waiver for the 18 rooms.
