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 one of one sampled resident
(Resident 21) was informed in advance, of the risks and benefits of a psychoactive medication (a drug that
changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, or behavior).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure violated the residents' right to make an informed decision regarding the use of a psychoactive
medication.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 21 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty
in blood sugar control), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells),
and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During a review of Resident 21's History & Physical (H&P) dated 6/12/2024, the H&P indicated the resident
had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report (OSR- active orders as of 12/1/2024) dated
6/17/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 21 had an order for Mirtazapine (a medication used to treat
depression- common and serious illness that negatively affects how one feels, thinks and acts) oral tablet
45 milligrams (mg) to be given once by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by inability to sleep.
During a review of Resident 21's consent for Mirtazapine 45 mg- one tablet by mouth at night for
depression manifested by inability to sleep, dated 6/17/2024, the informed consent was not signed nor
dated by the resident.
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/18/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 21 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand) and needed
supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cue and/or touching/steadying and/or contact
guard assistance as the resident completes the activity with assistance provided throughout the activity or
intermittently) with moving from a sitting to standing position, transferring to and from a bed to a chair,
wheelchair or side of the bed, and the ability to move on or off a toilet.
During a review of Resident 21's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024, the MAR
indicated Resident 21 received Mirtazipine 45 mg at bedtime from 12/1/2024 to 12/16/2024.

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure call lights were within reach for three
of three sampled residents (Residents 13, 17 and 35).
Residents Affected - Some
These deficient practices had the potential for the residents not to receive necessary care or receive
delayed services to meet the residents' needs that could result in a fall or injury.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 17's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 17 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included osteoarthritis (a
progressive disorder of the joints caused by gradual loss of cartilage), epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve
cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing seizures) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a
chronic lung diseases causing difficulty in breathing).
During a review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/6/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 17 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand). Resident 17
required moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene and
lower body dressing and maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with shower.
During a review of Resident 17's Care Plan (CP) titled Fall Risk, dated 3/7/2024, the CP indicated Resident
17 was at risk for falls secondary to history of falls and impaired balance (a condition that makes it difficult
to maintain orientation and feel steady). The CP interventions included to keep the resident's call light and
bed control within easy reach.
During a concurrent observation in Resident 17's room and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:03 am with the
Activity Director (AD), Resident 17's call light was behind the headboard. The AD stated Resident 17 could
not reach the call light. The AD stated Resident 17's call light should be close and next to the resident for
the resident to use to call and ask for help and assistance.
b. During a review of Resident 13's AR, the AR indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease (disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain that
produces symptoms that include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait) without
dyskinesia (a movement disorder that involves involuntary muscle movements) 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 13's CP titled Fall Risk dated 2/20/2023, the CP indicated Resident 13 was at
risk for falls secondary to history of falls prior to admission and impaired balance and poor safety
awareness. The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep call lights and bed controls within easy
reach, encouraging the resident to call for assistance and for staff to answer the call light in a timely
manner.
During a review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 13 had severely impaired
cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 13 was dependent to staff for oral/toileting
hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident
assessment tool) reflected an accurate assessment for one of one resident (Resident 51).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in inaccurate reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, a
federal agency that administers the Medicare program and works with state governments to administer the
Medicaid and health insurance portability standards) agency and had the potential for Resident 51 not to
receive interventions to address the resident's specific care concerns.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 51's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 51 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included surgical aftercare (the treatment and care the patient
received after surgery) following surgery on the digestive system (group of organs that work together to
digest and absorb nutrients from food) and chronic kidney disease (progressive damage and loss of
function of the kidneys).
During a review of Resident 51's Physician's Order (PO) dated 10/1/2024, the PO indicated Resident 51
had an order to discharge home on [DATE] with home health nurse (a registered nurse who provides
medical and personal care to patients in their homes), physical therapy/occupational therapy (PT/OT),
walker (a mobility aid that helps provide stability and balance while walking), wheelchair (a chair fitted with
wheels for use as a means of transport by a person who is unable to walk) and bedside commode (a
portable toilet) as requested by the family.
During a review of Resident 51's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 51 was discharged to an
acute hospital.
During a review of Resident 51's Licensed Personnel Progress Notes (LPPN) dated 10/8/2024, the LPPN
indicated Resident 51 was discharged home and left the facility in stable condition.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2024 at 2:24 pm with Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDS C), Resident 51's MDS, dated 10/8//2024 was reviewed. The MDS C stated Resident
51's discharge status was coded in error in the MDS and did not reflect the accurate information where the
resident was discharged . The MDS C stated the MDS discharge status should be coded as discharge
home under the care of organized home health service organization.
During an interview on 12/18/2024 at 3:36 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated accurate
assessment reflected the condition and care the resident needs. The DON stated accurate assessment and
documentation were important for accurate reporting to the CMS.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Assessments, revised
November 2019, the P&P indicated, The resident assessment coordinator is responsible for ensuring that
the interdisciplinary team conducts timely and appropriate resident assessments and reviews according to

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility staff failed to ensure one of one sampled resident
(Resident 40) received two liters of oxygen as needed according to physician's order and monitor the
resident's oxygen usage in accordance with professional standards of practice.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause complications associated with oxygen therapy for
Resident 40.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 40's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 40 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), respiratory failure
(a condition caused by inadequate supply of oxygen and/or the inability to remove carbon dioxide from the
lungs), and urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract).
During a review of Resident 40's Order Summary Report (OSR) of Active Orders dated 7/15/2024, the
OSR indicated Resident 40 had an order for two liters per minute (L/min) of oxygen via (through) nasal
cannula (NC- tubing used to deliver oxygen that has two prongs that rest in the nostrils and connects to the
oxygen concentrator) as needed to keep oxygen saturation above 92% for acute respiratory failure with
hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in your body tissues).
During a review of Resident 40's History & Physical (H&P) dated 7/21/2024, the H&P indicated the resident
had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 40's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 10/22/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 40 had intact cognition (ability to understand) and needed supervision or
touching assistance (helper provides verbal cue and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance
as the resident completes the activity with assistance provided throughout the activity or intermittently) for
eating and was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity or the assistance of two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for
toileting hygiene and showering/bathing.
During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 11:06 am in Resident 40's room, Resident 40 was in bed receiving
five L/min of oxygen with humidification through a NC.
During another observation on 12/17/2024 at 12:39 pm in Resident 40's room, Resident 40 was in bed
receiving five L/min of oxygen with humidification through a NC.
During a review of Resident 40's Pain Assessment Flow Sheet for December 2024 and Medication
Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024, the documents indicated Resident 40 was receiving
opioid analgesics (a class of drugs used to treat pain that can cause respiratory depression) of Tramadol
(narcotic pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain) 50 mg and Norco
(hydrocodone-acetaminophen- narcotic analgesic for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain)

Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 40's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024 was reviewed.
The MAR did not indicate documentation (charting) on Resident 40 for the use of two L/min of oxygen via
NC as needed to keep oxygen saturation above 92% for the month of December. LVN 2 stated Resident 40
was receiving two L/min of oxygen and last received Norco 10-325mg on 12/19/2024 at 6:30 am. LVN 2
further stated, Resident 40's oxygen use should be documented to ensure the resident was receiving
sufficient oxygen.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2024 at 10:16 am with LVN 2 in Resident 40's
room, Resident 40 had ongoing oxygen at five L/min via NC. LVN 2 stated, the licensed nurse was
responsible for monitoring the resident's oxygen to ensure it was set at the correct level and that the
physician's order was followed. LVN 2 further stated, Resident 40 should only receive two L/min of oxygen
as ordered.
During an interview on 12/19/2024 at 12:20 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated Resident 40 was on oxygen continuously and that monitoring the resident's oxygen levels was
necessary to check for respiratory distress and determine if interventions were effective or if the resident
needed more supplemental oxygen. The ADON further stated, licensed staff should have been charting and
monitoring Resident 40's oxygen usage to determine how often oxygen was needed and to assist the
facility staff in obtaining appropriate orders for Resident 40 based on the resident's needs.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, revised October
2010, the P&P indicated the purpose of the P&P was to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration.
The P&P indicated, to review the physician's orders, adjust the oxygen delivery device so proper flow of
oxygen is being administered, and to record oxygen administration in the resident's medical record.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. 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** c. During a
review of Resident 48's AR, the AR indicated Resident 48 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included fracture (a complete or partial break in a bone) of the first and second lumbar
vertebrae (bones that make up the lower part of the spine) and acute kidney failure (a condition in which
the kidneys can't filter waste from the blood).
During a review of Resident 48's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 48 had intact cognition.
The MDS indicated Resident 48 required maximum assistance (helper did more of the effort) with oral
hygiene, upper body dressing and personal hygiene and was dependent (helper did all of the effort,
resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with toileting hygiene, shower, and lower body
dressing.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:06 am inside Resident 48's room,
Resident 48 was in bed on her back with 1/4 side rails up on both sides of the bed. Resident 48 was alert
and oriented. Resident 48 stated she did not know why she had the side rails up. Resident 48 was not using
the side rails.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2024 at 9:00 am with the Assistant Director of

12/2016, the P&P indicated, the purpose of the guideline was to ensure the safe use of side rails as
resident mobility aids and to prohibit the use of side rails as restraints unless necessary to treat a resident's
medical symptoms. The P&P indicated documentation will indicate if less restrictive approaches are not
successful, prior to the considering the use of side rails, risks and benefits of side rails will be considered
for each resident, and consent for side rail use will be obtained from the resident after presenting potential
benefits and risks. The P&P indicated, An assessment will be made to determine the resident's symptoms,
risk of entrapment and reason for using side rails. The P&P indicated, documentation will indicate if less
restrictive approaches are not successful, prior to considering the use of side rails. P&P indicated consent
for side rail use will be obtained from the resident or legal representative, after presenting potential benefits
and risks.
b. During a review of Resident 33's AR, the AR indicated Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- type of obstructive lung
disease characterized by long-term poor airflow) 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).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 10:27 am with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) inside
Resident 33's room, Resident 33 was lying in bed on her back and bilateral upper side rails were up.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/2024 at 1:12 pm with the facility's Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 33's MR was reviewed. The DON stated there was no clinical documentation that
appropriate alternatives were attempted before bedrail/siderails were used on Resident 33. The DON
stated, when Resident 33 was re-admitted back to the facility, side rails were placed automatically.
During a concurrent interview and record review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Proper
Use of Side rails, on 12/20/2024 at 9:19 am with the facility's DON, the DON stated, use of appropriate
alternatives should have been attempted before the use of bed rails as indicated in the policy. The DON
stated bed rails could cause serious injury such as entrapment to the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its Policy and Procedure
(P&P) on the use of side rails/bed rails (adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars attached to the bed) for three
of three sampled residents (Residents 21, 33 and 48) by failing to:
a. (1). Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted before the installation of side rails for
Resident 21.
(2). Assess Resident 21 for risk of entrapment (an event in which a resident is caught, trapped, or
entangled in the space in or about the bed rail) and obtained an informed consent to review the risks and
benefits prior to installing bed rails.
b. Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 33
before the installation of side rails.
c. Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 48
before the installation of side rails.
These failures placed Residents 21, 33 and 48 at risk for entrapment, injury or death from the use of side
rails.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 21 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red
blood cells), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During a review of Resident 21's History & Physical (H&P) dated 6/12/2024, the H&P indicated the resident
had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 9/18/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 21 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand) and needed

supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cue and/or touching/steadying and/or contact
guard assistance as the resident completes the activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity
or intermittently) with moving from a sitting to standing position, transferring to and from a bed to a chair,
wheelchair or side of the bed, and the ability to move on or off a toilet.
During a review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report (OSR) - Active orders as of 12/1/2024, the OSR
indicated the following:
1. Resident 21 was capable of giving informed consent and/or able to participate in his treatment plan,
ordered on 6/11/2024.
2. Bilateral half side rails to aid with bed mobility and transfers, every shift, ordered 6/11/2024.
During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 10:57 am, in Resident 21's room, Resident 21 was sitting up on
the side of the bed and both half side rails on the bed were up.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/2024 at 2:09 pm with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 21's medical record (MR) was reviewed. The MR did not have Resident 21's
Entrapment Risk Evaluation for Bedrails and the Bedrails Assessment and Consent. The ADON stated,
Resident 21 had a history of falls and the bedrail consent and assessments should have been completed to
determine if bedrails were appropriate to use for Resident 21. The ADON further stated, the facility failed to
use alternative measures prior to bedrail usage for Resident 21.
During an interview on 12/20/2024 at 9:19 am with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
as specified in the facility's Bed Rails policy and procedure, the facility should use the least restrictive,
alternative interventions and approaches before using bedrails as bed rails could be an entrapment risk for
the residents.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow proper food handling
practices by failing to ensure food items were dated when it was first opened in one of two facility
refrigerators.
This deficient practice had the potential risk for food borne illnesses (infections caused by ingesting
contaminated food or beverages) to the residents.
Findings:
During an observation and initial tour of the kitchen on 12/17/2024 at 9:24 am, together with the Lead
[NAME] (LC), one unlabeled bag of tortilla and 2 pound (lbs.- unit of measurement) open bag of corn tortilla
did not have a label or date when it was first opened, inside one facility refrigerator. The LC stated the bags
of tortillas were not labeled nor dated when it was first opened. The LC stated the staff who opened the
food item needed to label it with the date opened to keep track of how long the food item was opened.
During an interview on 12/18/2024 at 12:01 pm with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated, all food
items needed to have a label with date opened to determine the use by date and to identify the life span of
the food item.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Labeling and Dating of Goods, dated
2020, the P&P indicated newly opened food items will need to be closed and labeled with a delivery and
open date and use by the date.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 a safe and sanitary environment to
help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases for a resident on hemodialysis
(a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the
kidney(s) have failed) with indwelling medical device placed on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP,
infection control measures used to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDROs] in
healthcare settings) for one of six sampled residents (Resident 44).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to expose Resident 44 to infection.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 44's admission Records (AR), the AR indicated Resident 44 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included end stage renal
disease (ESRD, irreversible kidney failure) hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the
same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body).
During a review of Resident 44's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/6/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 44 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS
indicated Resident 44 required moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with eating and
dependent (helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral and
toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 44's Care Plan (CP) titled Dialysis dated 12/3/2024, the CP indicated Resident
44 was on hemodialysis due to ESRD and had a quinton catheter (non-tunneled central line catheter used
to provide temporary access to a vein for hemodialysis) on the right upper chest. The interventions included
for staff to monitor dialysis access site for signs and symptoms of infection.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:03 am with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 44 was in bed on her back. Resident 44 had a permacatheter (a flexible tube
inserted into a vein to provide long-term access to the bloodstream) dialysis access site on the right upper
chest. The ADON stated Resident 44 was not on EBP.
During an interview on 12/17/2024 at 1:11 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident
44 had a central line and should be placed on EBP to prevent the spread of infection.
During a review of the facility's Policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Infection Control: Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP), dated 6/18/2024, the P&P indicated, Indwelling medical device examples include
central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies. EBP should be used for any residents
who meet the above criteria, wherever they reside in the facility.

inside. The residents and staff were able to move wheelchairs, front wheel walkers and shower chairs in the
rooms and provide care to the residents without difficulty and with enough space.
During an interview on 12/18/2024 at 10:22 am with the facility's 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 above 19 rooms.
During a review of the facility's Room Waiver Request (RWR), dated 12/18/2024, the RWR indicated the
rooms had enough space for each resident's care and dignity and privacy issues were all in compliance.
The RWR indicated each resident's necessity of equipment and fixtures had no negative effect on the care
and movement of staff and other residents.
