**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to obtain written informed consent for one of five sampled
residents (Resident 53) for the use of psychotropic (any medication capable of affecting the mind, emotion,
and behavior) medication. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 53 not receiving adequate
information regarding psychotropic medications necessary to make an informed health care decision.
Findings: During a review of Resident 53's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 53 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including liver carcinoma (type of cancer), malignant
neoplasm (group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
parts of the body) of the pancreas, and heart failure (condition when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently
to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs). During a review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 10/9/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 53
had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding).
The MDS indicated Resident 53 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff for showering/bathing self,
lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS indicated Resident 53 needed moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) on staff for oral hygiene, upper body dressing and
personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 53's Physicians Order (PO) dated 12/5/2025, the PO
indicated to increase Remeron (a medication to treat depression [a feeling of severe sadness or
hopelessness]) tablet 22.5 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by self report of
feeling of sadness. During an interview and concurrent record review on 2/11/2026 at 2:23 pm, with the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) of Resident 53's medical records (physical chart), the ADON stated,
informed consent was not obtained from Resident 53 or the resident's Responsible Party (RP) prior to
administration of Remeron 22.5 mg. The ADON stated, consent for the use of Remeron should have been
updated with the right dosage and Resident 53's target behavior. The ADON stated informed consent
should have been obtained by the doctor from Resident 53 or resident's RP and verified by the Licensed
Nurse. The ADON stated risks and benefits of psychotropic medications should have been discussed to
Resident 53 for the resident to be aware of the adverse effects (harmful effects) and risk and benefits of the
medication. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Informed Consent
Antipsychotic Medications, revised 8/22/2016, the P&P indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to
provide guidelines for obtaining informed consent for residents prescribed psychotropic medications.
Licensed nurse should document in the resident's health record, he or she verified with the physician
informed consent was obtained. Licensed Nurse shall document in the resident's health record the date,
medication/treatment, diagnosis and corresponding behavior if applicable, dosage range if pertinent and
name of the licensed healthcare practitioner. Licensed nurse shall complete the INFORMED CONSENT
document in the resident's health record prior to administering the medication or treatment. Licensed nurse

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the order for lorazepam (a medication used for
anxiety- a feeling of fear, dread, or uneasiness) as needed (PRN) was limited to a 14-day duration for one
of five sampled residents (Resident 5). This deficient practice had the potential to result in unnecessary or
prolonged use of lorazepam that could lead to Resident 5 experiencing adverse effects (unwanted,
uncomfortable, or dangerous effects of a drug) related to medication therapy.Findings: During a review of
Resident 5's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 5 was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction
caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood that affected the brain's normal functioning) and anxiety
disorder. During a review of Resident 5's untitled (CP) for anti-anxiety medication revised on 1/25/2026, the
CP goal indicated Resident 5 would be free from discomfort or adverse reactions related to anti-anxiety
therapy. During a review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/28/2026, the H&P indicated
Resident 5 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 5's
Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/28/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 5 had
severely impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS indicated Resident 5 required moderate
assistance (helper did less than half the effort) from staff with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 5
required maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) from staff with oral hygiene and personal
hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff with toileting
hygiene, showering/ bathing, and bed-to-chair transferring. During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary
Report (OSR) with active orders as of 2/10/2026, the OSR indicated a physician's order for licensed staff to
administer lorazepam every six hours PRN for anxiety for 30 days starting on 2/4/2026. During a concurrent
record review and interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 2/11/2026 at 2:33 pm,
Resident 5's medical records (PointClickCare - PCC, a cloud-based software) and physical chart were
reviewed. The ADON stated there were no documentations indicated the physician's rationale for Resident
5's 30-day lorazepam PRN order. The ADON stated it was the standard of practice to obtain psychotropic
medication (a drug that changed how the brain worked and affected a person's thoughts, feelings, or
behavior) PRN order for 14 days. The ADON stated psychotropic medication included antianxiety
medication. The ADON stated the 14-day duration allowed the staff to notice any adverse effects from the
medication on the residents. The ADON stated the licensed staff should have clarified Resident 5's
lorazepam order with the physician and documented it in the progress notes. The ADON stated it was
important that the physician documented the rationale of the 30-day lorazepam use in Resident 5's
progress note. The ADON stated Resident 5 could experience adverse effect of lorazepam with increased
risks of fall and confusion. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on 2/12/2026 at 2:36 pm, the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Psychotropic Drug, revised
on 11/2020, was reviewed. The DON stated the P&P indicated the PRN psychotropic medications were
limited to 14 days unless the prescribing physician document the rationale and the duration for the PRN
order in the resident's medical record. The DON stated the facility should have limited the use of
psychotropic medications. The DON stated the psychotropic medication's adverse effects were dehydration
and gastrointestinal discomfort. The DON stated the 14-day duration warrantied the resident's need of
psychotropic medication due to the behavior.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to complete one of three sampled residents (Resident 41)
quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool).This failure had the
potential to result in not meeting the resident's care needs and/or identifying a change in the resident's
physical and mental care needs.Findings:During a review of Resident 41's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 41 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited
to peripheral vascular disease (a decrease in blood flow to the limbs, primarily on the legs, causing cramps,
pain, death of body tissue and amputation), diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition in which the body does
not produce enough of the hormone insulin or becomes resistant to it leading to high blood sugar levels in
the body), protein-calorie malnutrition (an insufficient intake of protein and calories leading to loss of
muscle mass, strength and immune function).During a review of Resident 41's History and Physical (H&P),

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident's (Resident 43),
Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 12/24/2025 accurately
documented the resident's dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially
through a machine when the kidneys have failed) treatment. This failure had the potential to result in delay
of treatment and inaccurate plan of care and interventions for Resident 43. Findings: During a review of
Resident 43's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including heart failure (when the heart muscle can't pump enough blood to meet the body's
needs for blood and oxygen), End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD-irreversible kidney failure), and
dependence on dialysis. During a review of Resident 43's Care Plan (CP) revised on 7/24/2025, the CP
indicated Resident 43 needed hemodialysis related to ESRD. During a review of Resident 43's History &
Physical (H&P) dated 7/26/2025, the H&P indicated the resident was receiving HD three times a week.
During a review of Resident 43's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 43 had moderately
impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS did not indicate Resident 43 was receiving dialysis
while under the care of the facility. During a review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated
1/31/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 43 had the following active orders for: HD on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, ordered on 7/20/2025Extra dialysis on Saturdays, ordered on 8/6/2025. During
an interview on 2/11/2026 at 2:35 pm with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated Resident 43
had been receiving dialysis since admission on [DATE]. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 8:10 am with
Resident 43, Resident 43 stated Resident 43 was receiving dialysis treatments. During an interview on
2/12/2026 at 12:33 pm with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated Resident 43 was
receiving dialysis treatments and the MDSN failed to indicate it on Resident 43's MDS assessment dated
[DATE]. The MDSN stated the MDS was submitted to CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)
and was a reference of the resident's current needs which needed to be accurate. During an interview on
2/12/2026 at 2:31 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the MDS needed to be
submitted accurately to CMS to allow the facility to provide the correct care to the residents. During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Assessment Instrument: Minimum Data
Set and Comprehensive Care Plan, revised September 2024, the P&P indicated, a registered nurse shall
be responsible for coordinating the input from the appropriate health disciplines to complete the MDS and
would sign and certify completion of the assessment. The P&P indicated, the services provided should
meet the professional standards of quality and are provided by appropriate qualified persons in accordance
with the resident's written plan of care. During a review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 3.0 User's Manual Version 1.20.1,
dated October 2025, the manual indicated the RAI process had multiple regulatory requirements. The

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement individualized and
resident-centered care plans (CP) for two of two sampled residents (Residents 26 and 53).These deficient
practices had the potential for Residents 26 and 53 to not receive appropriate care, treatment, and/or
services related to their specific needs.Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 26's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 26 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection
(UTI, an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) and bronchitis (the air tubes in the lungs got swollen and
made breathing hard).
During a review of Resident 26's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/19/2026, the H&P indicated Resident
26 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 1/23/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 26 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS
indicated Resident 26 required supervision from staff with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 26 required
maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) from staff with oral hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 26 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff with toileting hygiene, showering/ bathing, and
bed-to-chair transferring.
During a concurrent record review and interview with MDS Nurse 1(MDSN 1) on 2/12/2026 at 12:06 pm, all
of Resident 26's CP were reviewed. MDSN 1 stated there were no specific CP to address Resident 26's
UTI or bronchitis. MDSN 1 stated the licensed nurse should have developed the CP to address Resident
26's UTI and bronchitis. MDSN 1 stated the CP should be specific and resident centered. MDSN 1 stated
the CP should have included monitoring for signs and symptoms of recurrent infection and respiratory
issues to ensure individualized care. MDSN 1 stated not having specific resident centered CP placed
Resident 26 at risk for recurrent infection. MDSN 1 stated having a specific CP for UTI and bronchitis would
have been beneficial to both Resident 26 and the nursing staff by ensuring the resident's needs were
addressed and individualized.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:28 pm, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the CP
was a guide for staff to provide individualized care to residents. The DON stated the MDSN should have
completed the comprehensive care plan within two weeks of admission. The DON stated the CP should be
comprehensive that covered the overall care of the residents. The DON stated the CP should be specific
and resident centered so that staff could provide proper care and treatment to the residents. The DON
stated it was important to have specific and resident-centered CP. The DON stated the CP should have
been adjusted with each medical diagnosis and medications. The DON stated if the resident's needs were
not met, it could result in resident's decline.
b. During a review of Resident 53's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 53 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including liver carcinoma (type of cancer), malignant neoplasm (group
of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body)
of the pancreas, and heart failure (condition when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood
flow to meet the body's needs).

had a 1,500 ml fluid restriction. LVN 1 stated, Resident 43 was receiving dialysis and had a current fluid
restriction of 1,000 ml per day and received 500 ml during the day shift. LVN 1 stated the fluid restriction of
1,000 ml per day for Resident 43 was ordered on 12/30/2025 and Resident 43's CP should have been
updated to keep the resident's plan of care current and ensure the resident received necessary care.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 8:10 am with Resident 43, Resident 43 stated Resident 43 was
receiving dialysis treatments. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 11:32 am with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 43 had a 1,000 ml fluid restriction and the resident's CP was
not updated from the previous order of 1,500 ml fluid restriction. The ADON stated, Resident 43's CP
should have been updated, and any licensed nurse could have updated the CP to reflect the care being
currently provided to Resident 43. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 2:31 pm with the facility's Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated the resident's CP should be updated when there's a change with the
resident, a new order, quarterly, and annually. The DON stated, it was important for the resident to have an
updated CP to individualize care and allow the facility staff to monitor if the care provided was working for
the resident or needed to be altered. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care
Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised December 2016, the P&P indicated a comprehensive,
person-centered CP that included measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical,
psychosocial, and functional needs were developed and implemented for each resident. The P&P indicated
assessments of residents were ongoing and CPs were revised as information about the residents and the
residents' conditions changed.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the suprapubic catheter (a soft tube
inserted directly into the bladder through a small incision to drain urine into a bag) bag was not touching the
floor for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice resulted in contamination of
Resident 1's care equipment and placed the resident at risk of infection. Findings: During a review of
Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses including encounter for urinary tract infection (UTI- infection that affects part of the urinary
tract), encounter for fitting and adjustment of urinary device and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder
(lack of bladder control). During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/7/2026, the
OSR indicated suprapubic catheter 22 (size of the catheter) French (a type of catheter) per 10 milliliters (ml,
unit of measurement) attached to bedside drainage bag for neurogenic bladder every shift for Resident 1.
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/8/2026, the H&P indicated Resident 1's
had the capacity to understand and make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data
Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 1
had intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision
making. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for oral
hygiene, toileting, showering/bathing self, upper/lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. During an
observation on 2/10/2026 at 9:31 am, Resident 1 was awake lying in bed in Resident 1's room. During an
observation on 2/10/2026 at 9:32 am together with Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), Resident 1's
suprapubic catheter bag was touching the floor. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 9:34 am, the IPN
stated the catheter bag should not be touching the floor because it could cause cross contamination (the
process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or
object to another, with harmful effect) and could lead to UTI. During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 12:48 pm
with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated, FC bag should not be touching the floor
because the floor was dirty and bacteria could travel from the floor to the bag and could lead to UTI. During
a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled, Urinary Catheter Care, dated 9/2014, the P&P
indicated the purpose of this procedure was to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. For
infection control, be sure the catheter tubing and drainage bag are kept off the floor.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to administer continuous oxygen
therapy (treatment that provides supplemental, or extra, oxygen) for one of one sampled resident (Resident
15) according to accepted standards of clinical practice and in accordance with the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration. This deficient practice placed Resident 15 at risk for
shortness of breath and/or hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in the body tissues) which could lead to serious
complications. Findings: During a review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the
facility admitted Resident 15 on 1/7/2026 with diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD- a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long term poor airflow) and dependence of
supplemental oxygen. During a review of Resident 15's Physician Order (PO) dated 1/7/2026, the PO
indicated for licensed staff to administer two (2) liters per minute (L/min) of oxygen via nasal cannula (tube
which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils to deliver oxygen) continuously
every shift for COPD. During a review of Resident 15's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/8/2026, the H&P
indicated Resident 15 had the capacity to understand and make medical decisions. During a review of
Resident 15's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 1/11/2026, the CP indicated Resident 15 was at risk for
respiratory distress related to shortness of breath and irregular respirations. The CP interventions included
for nursing staff to administer oxygen as ordered to Resident 15. During a review of Resident 15's Minimum
Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated
Resident 15 had intact cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The
MDS indicated Resident 15 was dependent (helper did all the effort) on staff for toileting hygiene,
showering/bathing self, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS indicated
Resident 15 needed moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) on staff for oral hygiene
and upper body dressing. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 9:47 am, together with the Infection
Prevention Nurse (IPN), Resident 15 was asleep, lying in bed with ongoing oxygen flowing at 2LPM via
concentrator (a medical device that concentrates oxygen from environmental air and delivers it to the
resident in need of supplemental oxygen). Resident 15's nasal cannula tubing was hanging on the left side
of the bed and the nasal cannula tubing prongs were not placed in Resident 15's nares. During a
concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026, at 9:55 am, with the IPN, the IPN stated Resident 15's
nasal cannula was placed on top of Resident 15's bed and the oxygen concentrator was running oxygen at
2LPM. The IPN stated the nasal cannula should be placed inside the bag if not in use to prevent infection
and to turn off the oxygen concentrator if not in use. During an interview and concurrent record review on
2/10/2026 at 12:43 pm, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) of Resident 15's medical records
(PointClickCare - PCC, a cloud-based software), the ADON stated Resident 15 had an order of continuous
2 LPM of oxygen via nasal cannula. The ADON stated Resident 15 should have been on continuous
oxygen at all times as ordered to prevent respiratory distress or respiratory failure. The ADON stated if
oxygen was not in use, the nasal cannula should be placed inside the plastic bag to prevent cross
contamination. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration,
dated 10/2010, the P&P indicated, Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure. Review the
physician's orders or facility protocol for oxygen administration.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure hemodialysis (HD - a treatment to
cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed)
device access dressing was removed as ordered by the physician for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 43).This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 43 to develop complications related to
HD device access.Findings:During a review of Resident 43's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated
Resident 43 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including end stage renal disease (ESRD - irreversible kidney failure), dependence on renal hemodialysis,
and congestive heart failure (CHF - a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood
efficiently).During a review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 7/20/2025, the OSR
indicated Resident 43 had an order for hemodialysis on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with extra
dialysis on Saturdays. During a review of Resident 43's OSR, dated 8/6/2025, the OSR indicated to remove
dialysis dressing to left upper arm 4-6 hours post (after) dialysis treatment on Mondays, Wednesdays,
Fridays and Saturdays.During a review of Resident 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment
tool), dated 12/24/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 43 had a moderately impaired cognition (ability to
understand and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 43 was independent (resident
completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting
and upper body dressing, needed setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up, resident
completes the activity) with personal hygiene) and required supervision or touching assistance (helper
provided verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes
activity) with shower. During a review of Resident 43's Nurses Dialysis Communication Record (NDCR)
dated 2/9/2026, the NDCR indicated Resident 43 had left for dialysis at 7:30 am and came back to the
facility at 12:10 pm with an intact dressing on the left upper arm.During a review of the facility's Nurses
Communication Record (NCR) dated 2/9/2026 at 2:46 pm, the NCR indicated Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) endorsed to the next shift to remove Resident 43's dialysis dressing.During a concurrent
observation inside Resident 43's room and interview on 2/10/2026 at 9:42 am with Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), Resident 43 was sitting in bed with gauze dressing taped around Resident 43's left upper
arm. The ADON stated Resident 43 had a arteriovenous (AV - a direct, surgically created connection
between an artery and a vein for hemodialysis) shunt on Resident 43's left upper arm as access for
hemodialysis. The ADON stated Resident 43 received hemodialysis on Mondays. Wednesdays, Fridays and
Saturdays. The ADON stated Resident 43's last hemodialysis was on 2/9/2026.During a concurrent
interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at 3:05 pm with LVN 1, Resident 43's OSR dated 8/6/2025 and

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staffing information on the
Nurse Staffing Sheet (posted information that contains the facility's current resident census and total
number and actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed nursing staff) was posted in a prominent place
readily accessible to residents and visitors. This deficient practice had the potential to mislead the residents
and visitors that may affect the quality of nursing care provided to the residents. Findings: During
observations on 2/11/2026 at 9:27 am the Nurse Staffing Sheet was only posted on an enclosed bulletin
board across from Nursing Station 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:10
pm with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the Nurse Staffing Sheet was posted on the bulletin
board across from Nursing Station 2. The DSD stated there were no other postings within the facility which
didn't allow it to be readily accessible to all residents and visitors. The DSD further stated posting the Nurse
Staffing Sheet where it was accessible allowed residents and visitors to determine if the facility had
adequate staffing and ensured the facility was in compliance with required nurse staffing hours. During an
interview on 2/12/2026 at 3:37 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the Nurse
Staffing Sheet should be displayed in common areas where visitors, family, and staff could view it. The DON
stated this would allow everyone to be aware of the nurse to resident ratio and showed that the facility could
provide the proper care to their residents. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing Numbers, revised 7/2016, the P&P indicated within two hours of the
beginning of each shift, the number of Licensed Nurses and the number of unlicensed nursing personnel
directly responsible for resident care will be posted in a prominent location (accessible to residents and
visitors) and in a clear and readable format.

**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 19) was properly identified during Resident 19's medication administration. This failure had the
potential to result in medication errors from Resident 19 receiving incorrect medications. Findings: During a
review of Resident 19's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 19 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses including dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and hypertension (HTN-high blood
pressure). During a review of Resident 19's History & Physical (H&P) dated 4/25/2025, the H&P indicated
the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 19's Minimum
Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/23/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 19 had intact
cognition (ability to understand). During a Medication Administration observation on 2/12/2026 at 8:11 am
in Resident 19's room, Resident 19 was lying in bed and did not have resident identification (ID) band on
both arms. Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) greeted Resident 19 stating Resident 19's first name,
explained LVN 1 would administer medications and proceeded with completing a blood pressure and pulse
check on Resident 19. LVN 1 returned to Resident 19's bedside after preparing medication and stated LVN
1 had medications, elevated the head of the bed of Resident 19 and questioned the resident regarding
bowel movement and pain status. LVN 1 explained the medications that were being given while completing
the medication administration without checking any resident identifier prior to medication administration.
During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 9:41 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated to
identify a resident for medication administration, LVN 1 should have asked the resident's last name and
date of birth (DOB) or cross reference the resident's picture in the medication administration records (MAR
- a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to
a resident) with the resident. LVN 1 stated the licensed nurse should check the resident's ID band and if the
resident was alert, ask the resident's DOB and last name. LVN 1 stated, the purpose of identifying the
resident properly before medication administration was to ensure the correct person was identified before
giving medications, for resident safety. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 11:43 am with Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated prior to medication administration, licensed nurses should use the
resident's ID band, MAR photo, and date of birth (DOB) as resident identifiers. The ADON stated licensed
nurses should use two resident identifiers and if the resident was alert, the resident's full name and date of
birth should be verified. The ADON stated if the licensed nurses fail to do this, they were not identifying the
resident correctly. The ADON stated resident identification was necessary to prevent medication errors that
could potentially lead to serious harm for the resident. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 3:41 pm with the
facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated if the resident could speak, the licensed nurse should
check the resident's name band and ask the resident to state the resident's name. The DON stated if the
resident had no ID band, the licensed nurse should use the resident's MAR photo and ask the resident's
name. The DON stated, this process was important to identify the correct resident and give the correct
medication to prevent a medication error from occurring. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Administrating Medications, revised 4/2019, the P&P indicated medications were
administered in a safe and timely manner. The P&P indicated the individual administering medications
verified the resident's identity before giving the resident his/her medications with methods of identification
including: a. checking identification band; b. checking photograph attached to medical record; and c. if
necessary, verifying resident identification with other facility personnel.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and follow infection prevention
procedures to prevent the transmission of infectious organisms for one of four sampled residents (Resident
1) by failing to wear required personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment that protects people from
injury or illness in hazardous environments) while providing care to Resident 1 who was on Enhanced
Barrier Precaution (EBP, precautions that involve using a glove and gown during high-contact resident care
activity for residents who are colonized or infected with multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO, bacteria that
is resistant to many types of antibiotics] and those at a higher risk of developing a MDRO, such as,
residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices). This deficient practice had the potential to transmit
infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection to Resident 1 and staff that could result in a
widespread infection in the facility. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the
AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including encounter for
urinary tract infection (UTI- infection that affects part of the urinary tract), encounter for fitting and
adjustment of urinary device and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (lack of bladder control). During
a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/7/2026, the OSR indicated to place
Resident 1 on EBP to reduce the spread of MDRO due to indwelling catheter (tube inserted into the
bladder and left in place in order to drain urine). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P)
dated 1/8/2026, the H&P indicated Resident 1's had the capacity to understand and make medical
decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident
assessment tool) dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident
1 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, showering/bathing self,
upper/lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 1's untitled and undated
Care Plan (CP), the CP indicated to place Resident 1 on EBP due to presence of indwelling medical
device: suprapubic catheter (a soft tube inserted directly into the bladder through a small incision to drain
urine into a bag). The CP indicated for nursing staff to observe proper donning and doffing of PPE to
protect skin and soiling of clothing during procedures and high-contact activities that could cause contact
with blood and body fluids, secretions, or excretions. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 9:31 am,
Resident 1 was awake lying in bed in Resident 1's room. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 9:32 am,
Resident 1 was lying in bed. The Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN, a healthcare professional who
specializes in preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings) did not wear gown while assessing
Resident 1's suprapubic catheter bag and tubing. During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 9:00 am with the
