Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient licensed nurses were available to pass
medications to three out of three sampled residents sampled (Resident 1, 2 and 3). On 11/1/2025, from
3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Resident 2 did not receive four medications and Resident 3 did not receive three
medications. On 11/2/2025, from 11:00 p.m. to 11/3/2025 at 7:00 a.m., Resident 1 did not receive two
medications.The deficient practices resulted in scheduled medications not being administered to residents,
and had the potential to result in medical complications from not receiving their scheduled medications.
Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission record, the admission Record indicated the facility
readmitted Resident 1 on 7/19/2024 with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg,
and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (one-sided muscle weakness, affecting the arm,
leg, and sometimes the face) following cerebral infarction (loss of blood flow to the brain) affecting the left
dominant side, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells), type 2
diabetes (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and
hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats in the blood).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a
resident assessment tool, dated 10/24/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact cognition (ability to
make decisions of daily living). The MDS indicated Resident 1 needed assistance with eating, maximal
assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, and
personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary, as of 11/3/2025, the Order Summary
indicated the following medication orders to be administered during the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift:Januvia
(medication for DM) Oral Tablet 50 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure), one tablet by mouth one time a day
before breakfastReglan (medication to treat stomach issues) Oral Tablet 5 mg , one tablet by mouth three
times a day.During a review of Resident 2's admission record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 2 on 4/6/2024 with diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (a progressive disease of
the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements) with dyskinesia
(medical condition characterized by involuntary, uncontrolled movements, which can include writhing,
twisting, or jerking) and fluctuations (periods of alternating improvement and worsening of motor
symptoms), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and
loss of interest), schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior),
and anxiety disorder (mental illness characterized by pervasive worry and apprehension).During a review of
Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2 had intact cognition. Resident 2 needed
maximal assistance with eating and was dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering,
and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary, as of 11/3/2025, the Order
Summary indicated the following medication orders to be

the left dominant side and essential hypertension (high blood pressure).During a review of Resident 3's
MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognition was severely impaired. Resident 3 needed
supervision with eating, moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, and
maximal assistance with showering and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 3's Order Summary,
as of 11/3/2025, the Order Summary indicated the following medication orders to be administered during

for 11/1/2025 and Nursing Staffing Assignment and Sign-in sheet, for 11/1/2025 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.,
the sheet indicated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 and 5 were responsible for administering
medications as scheduled to all the residents. The census indicated there were 68 residents.During a
review of the facility's untitled document of inhouse census for 11/2/2025 and Nursing Staffing Assignment
and Sign-in sheet, for 11/2/2025 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., the sheet indicated LVN) 4 (whose shift started on
11/1/2025 at 3:00 p.m.), worked until 4:00 a.m. and left the facility. The Nursing Staffing Assignment and
Sign-in sheet indicated there was no replacement for LVN 4 until 11/2/2025 at 7:00 a.m. The sheet
indicated there was only one LVN for 68 patients from 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. The census indicated LVN 4
covered 35 residents and when she left LVN 6 had all 68 residents. During a concurrent phone interview
and record review on 11/5/2025 at 10:30 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the facility's Nursing
Staffing Assignment and Sign-in sheet, for 11/1/2025's 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift., was reviewed and the
DON confirmed there were 2 LVN's and one new LVN in orientation. Only two LVNs were responsible for 69
residents for the 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift. The DON stated LVN 4 confirmed she did not give the
medications on 11/1/2025 during the 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift to Resident 2 and 3. During the continued
phone interview and record review on 11/5/2025 at 10:33 a.m., with the DON, the facility's Nursing Staffing
Assignment and Sign-in sheet, for 11/2/2025 at 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift, was reviewed and the DON
confirmed that LVN 4 left at 4:00 a.m. and the oncoming shift LVN at 7:00 a.m. The DON stated that not
having another licensed and seasoned nurse was unacceptable. The DON stated that on 11/3/2025 at 6:30
a.m. the medication for Resident 1 was not administered. The DON stated there should be another licensed
nurse. The DON stated the facility does not use the services of a staffing agency to assist with staffing
needs. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Staffing revised 10/2017, the P&P
indicated the facility provides enough staff with the skills and competency necessary to provide care and
services for all residents in accordance with residents' plan of care and the facility assessment. During a
review of the facility's Facility Assessment, revised 6/11/2025, the facility assessment indicated the facility

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure three out of three sampled residents (Resident 1,2,
