behavior) was obtained for three of six sampled residents (Residents' 3, 13 and 64) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 3 was administered escitalopram oxalate tablet (medication used to treat depression [serious
mental illness affecting person's though, feelings, behavior, and sense of well-being] from 6/2/24-6/31/24,

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care
plan for two of eight sampled residents (Resident 75 and Resident 29) when:
1. Resident 75 did not have a care plan (a document that outlines how a resident's health care needs will
be met, and is used by the resident and their care team to facilitate communication and collaboration) for
the use of indwelling urinary catheter (thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to
drain urine).
This failure placed Resident 75 at risk for her indwelling urinary catheter needs to not be met.
2. Resident 29 did not have a care plan for urinary tract infection (UTI- common infections that happen
when bacteria, often from the skin or rectum, enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract).
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 29's care needs to go unmet.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/8/24 at 10:13 a.m. in Resident 75's room, Resident
75 was laying in bed with eyes open watching TV. Resident 75 stated she had been in the facility for three
weeks and preferred to stay in bed. There was an indwelling urinary catheter bag that hanged on the side of
the bed and covered with a privacy bag. Resident 75 stated she needed the indwelling urinary catheter due
to her weakness and had it since she was in the hospital.
During a review of Resident 75's admission Record (AR-a document with personal identifiable and medical
information), dated 10/11/24, the AR indicated, Resident 75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included acute kidney failure (sudden decline in kidney function), rhabdomyolysis (skeletal
muscle breaks down and releases its content into the bloodstream) and fall.
During a review of Resident 75's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a functional and cognitive abilities assessment)
assessment, dated 8/19/24, indicated the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 12 out of 15
(a BIMS score of 13-15 indicates cognitively intact, 8-12 indicates moderately impaired and 0-7 indicates
severe impairment), which indicated Resident 75 was moderately impaired in daily decision making.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/10/24 at 2:45 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2, LVN 2 reviewed Resident 75's clinical record titled Order Summary Report, dated 10/11/24 and
stated Resident 75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. LVN 2 stated Resident 75 was admitted with an
indwelling urinary catheter. LVN 2 stated she did not find a care plan for Resident 75's use of indwelling
urinary catheter. LVN 2 stated there should have been a care plan developed and licensed nurses are
responsible in creating a care plan. LVN 2 stated a care plan was important to guide nursing staff in
providing care to Resident 75's indwelling urinary catheter.
During an interview on 10/11/24 at 9:32 a.m. with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), the MDSN stated
Resident 75 was admitted with an indwelling urinary catheter. The MDSN stated there should have been a
care plan initiated for the use of the indwelling urinary catheter but there was none. The MDSN

documented and it's not done? dated 2/9/2019, retrieved from,
https://mnnurses.org/if-its-not-documented-its-not-done-but-what-if-it-is-documented-but-its-not-done, the
article indicated, . Untimely documentation may also be considered fraud. False, misleading, and deceitful
documentation may result in grave safety issues for the patient because the healthcare team depends on
accurate and timely documentation to make patient care decisions. If a medication, assessment, procedure,
etc., is not timely then other care providers do not have an accurate account of a patient's condition which
may lead to poor outcomes, including death.

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 two of three sampled Residents
(Resident 13 and Resident 33) received the necessary care and respiratory services, consistent with
professional standards of practice when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 13's oxygen (a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms) flow rate (the
amount of oxygen being delivered to the body) was not administered according to the physician order (an
order given for specific patient/resident by a health care provider).
This failure resulted in Resident 13 not obtaining the ordered amount of oxygen via the oxygen concentrator
(a machine that pulls in the air around you), which could lead to breathing problems which includes
shortness of breath, headache, and confusion.
2. Resident 33's oxygen flow rate was given at a lower rate than the physician's order (a set of written or
verbal instructions from a doctor that clinicians follow to care for a patient).
This failure had the potential for Resident 33 to experience difficulty breathing, shortness of breath,
respiratory distress and lung damage.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 13's clinical record titled, admission Record (document containing resident
personal information) dated 10/11/24, indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (group of lung diseases that block airflow
and make it difficult to breathe) and unspecified asthma (airways become inflamed, narrow and swell which
makes it difficult to breathe).
During a review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool used to identify
resident cognitive [pertaining to reasoning, memory and judgement] and physical functional level)
assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 13's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS-screening tool
used in nursing home to assess cognition) assessment score was 13 out of 15 (0-15 scale [0-6 severe
cognitive deficit, 7-12 moderate cognitive deficit, 13-15 no cognitive deficit]) indicating Resident 13 had no
cognitive deficit.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/8/24 at 8:58 a.m. in Resident 13's room, Resident 13
was sitting up in bed with a nasal cannula (a tube used to deliver supplemental oxygen through the nose)
and humidifier connected to oxygen concentrator (medical device that gives extra oxygen), the flow rate
(amount of oxygen delivered to the body) indicated four liter per minute. Resident 13 stated her oxygen
order is two liters per minute and she had been using oxygen for a long time because of her difficulty
breathing.
During a concurrent observation, interview and record review on 10/10/24 at 11:31 a.m. with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, LVN 4 verified Resident 13's oxygen flow rate at bedside and stated Resident
13's oxygen flow rate is four liters per minute. LVN 4 reviewed Resident 13's clinical record titled Order
Summary Report (a document used to authorize what was ordered by a patient's treating/prescribing
physician) active orders dated 10/10/14.

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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of seven sampled
residents (Resident 48 and 133) were assessed for the use of bed (side rails) when Residents 48 and 133
had no assessment for the risk of entrapment, a physician's order specifying reason for use was not
obtained and a care plan was not created. Additionally Resident 133 did not have informed consent
obtained (a form signed by the resident or family explaining the risks).
This failure had the potential to place Resident 48 and 133 at risk for decreased freedom of movement,
entrapment and/or injury.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment too used to identify
cognitive (mental process) and physical functional level assessment, dated 9/22/2024, indicated Resident
48's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- screening tool used to assess resident cognitive level) score
was 00 out of 15 indicating Resident 48 has severe cognitive impairment (0-7 indicated severe cognitive
impairment, 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, 13-15 cognitively intact).
During a review of Resident 133's MDS, dated 10/03/2024, the MDS assessment indicated Resident 133's
BIMS score was 13 out of 15 indicating Resident 133 was cognitively intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/08/2024 at 8:53 a.m. with Resident 133 in Resident
133's room, Resident 133 was laying up in bed with both side rails up watching television. Resident 133
stated she had been at the facility for one week.
During an observation on 10/08/2024 at 10:35 a.m. with Resident 48 in Resident 48's room, Resident 48
had both side rails raised.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 10/10/24 at 11:23 a.m. with certified nursing assistant
(CNA) 1 in Resident 48's room, Resident 48 was laying in bed with both side rail raised. CNA 1 stated
Resident 48 could sometimes help move and turn. CNA 1 stated doctor's orders are always needed if staff
want to raise a resident's side rails.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/10/24 at 11:08 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 5, Resident 48's clinical record, dated 10/10/24, was reviewed. The clinical record indicated there
was no physician's orders, no care planning, no consents obtained for the use of side rails and safety
evaluation assessment was charted and dated 5/4/24 with recommendation of no rails. LVN 5 stated
Resident 48 was on hospice (specialized care which provides comfort and emotional support for people
nearing the end of life) and the facility nurse was responsible for ensuring all hospice orders were reflected
on their chart. LVN 5 stated resident 48 should not have been using siderails unless physician's orders,
care planning, safety evaluation, and consents were put in place. LVN 5 stated it was important to do all the
required forms for side rails because it ensured safety for the residents.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/11/24 at 11:18 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse

frequently scheduled consultation from the RD, placed the 83 residents who were admitted to the facility at
risk for receiving incorrect food items, not receiving a well-balanced diet that was approved by the RD which
could result in residents receiving over or under nutrition that can increase their nutrition risk and further
compromise their medical condition. It also has the potential to place resident's at risk for the growth of
microorganisms and food borne illness (illness caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses,
parasites or toxins).
Findings:
1. According to the California Code, Health, and Safety Code - HSC § 1265.4: A licensed health facility
shall employ a full-time, part-time, or consulting dietitian. A health facility that employs a registered dietitian
less than full time, shall also employ a full-time dietetic services supervisor (DSS) who meets the
requirements of subdivision (b) to supervise dietetic service operations. Subdivision (b) includes seven
different pathways to be qualified. Two of the pathways include being credentialed as a Certified Dietary
Manager with 6 hours of in-service training on the specific training on the specific California dietary service
requirements contained in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations prior to assuming full -time duties
as a DSS at the health facility.

(District Managers for the contract company that have three to four facilities each) provide 32 hours of
oversight per week. CDM 1 stated they will be there until KS completes the CDM program. CDM 1 stated he
provides oversite 16 hours per week while CDM 2 provides oversight for another 16 hours per week. CDM 1
stated KS has approximately two weeks until he is eligible to take the Certified Dietary Manager exam.
During an interview with CDM 2 on 10/10/24 at 9:16 AM, CDM 2 stated he and CDM1 split the oversight of
KS. CDM2 stated he is usually onsite Thursday and Friday, but his schedule is flexible. CDM 2 stated he

under nutrition which can further compromise their medical status. These failures can also result in
residents receiving a lack of variety of foods which could lead to a disinterest in eating which could result in
residents not meeting their nutrition needs which can further compromise their medical condition.
