Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
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 attempt to use the least restrictive alternatives
and to reevaluate the use of a Posey bed (a hospital bed, canopy, and mattress system where all walls are
zipped up from outside and the resident cannot exit out of it without assistance) for one of 14 sampled
residents (Resident 29) when Resident 29 used a Posey bed and was not reevaluated.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure placed Resident 29 at risk of impaired psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 29's admission Record, dated 6/20/22, the record indicated Resident 29
was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During a record review Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide care),
dated 5/5/22, the MDS indicated Resident 29's cognitive skills for daily decision making was severely
impaired. The MDS further indicated Resident 29 required total dependence on staff for activities of daily
living (activities related to personal care including walking, dressing, eating).
During concurrent observation and interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5 on 6/20/22, at 9:37
a.m., Resident 29 observed sleeping in a Posey bed restraint with walls zipped up. CNA 5 stated she had
taken care of Resident 29 for more than five years. CNA 5 stated Resident 29 was in a Posey bed for more
than five years because Resident 29 had jerky movements which increased her risk of falls and injury.
During an observation on 6/21/22, at 9:53 a.m., Resident 29 was lying in a Posey bed with walls zipped up.
During another observation on 6/22/22, at 1:50 p.m., Resident 29 was lying in a Posey bed with walls
zipped up.
During a record review of Resident 29's Interdisciplinary Progress Notes, dated 9/28/14, the note indicated
Resident 29's bed was replaced by a Posey bed for a safety precaution related to the diagnosis of
Huntington's Disease (a hereditary disease of brain cells degeneration which causes progressive loss of
memory and loss of motor coordination and control).
During an interview with CNA 5, on 6/22/22, at 1:51 p.m., CNA 5 stated she kept Resident 29's Posey bed
canopy closed all the time. CNA 5 stated it was safer if the canopy was closed. CNA 5 stated Resident 29
was unsafe in a wheelchair. CNA 5 further stated the facility did not have any plans to reduce the Posey
bed use.
During an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 06/23/22, at 12:05 p.m., DON stated it was the
interdisciplinary team (IDT)'s responsibility to reevaluate the long-term restraints usage. DON stated she
expected staff to assist Resident 29 to get out of bed daily and to document attempts to reduce restraint
usage. DON stated it was not okay for the facility to assist Resident 29 to only get her out of bed for deep
cleaning of her room and for showers. DON stated the Posey bed was a restraint and it placed Resident 29
at risk of depression, isolation, unhappiness, and boredom.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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 accurately complete the Minimum Data Set
(MDS- an assessment tool used to guide care) for two of 14 sampled residents (Resident 27 and 29) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 27's MDS assessment inaccurately reflected significant weight loss; and
2. Resident 29's MDS assessment inaccurately reflected Resident 29 walking with one-staff total
assistance and not receiving any physical restraints.
This deficient practice resulted in an inaccurate reflection of Resident 27 and Resident 29's comprehensive
assessment and had the potential for inadequate weight management for Resident 27 and inadequate care
to meet Resident 29's needs.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 27's admission Record, dated 6/23/22, the record indicated Resident 27 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During a phone interview on 6/23/22, at 11:00 a.m., with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) 1,
Resident 27's section K for MDS assessment, dated 4/24/22 was reviewed. The MDSC 1 stated Resident
27's MDS assessment indicated Yes to Loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more in last
6 months.
During a phone interview with MDSC 1, on 6/23/22, at 11:05 p.m., Resident 27's Weights and Vitals
Summary from 10/2021 through 06/2022 was reviewed. MDSC 1 stated Resident 27 weighed 108.2
pounds (lbs.) on 4/6/22 and 106.2 lbs. on 3/7/22. MDSC 1 stated the weight change between 03/2022 and
04/2022 (in one month) was not five percent. MDSC 1 then stated Resident 27 weighed 112.4 lbs. on
11/8/21, and the weight change between 04/2022 and 11/2021 (in six months) was not ten percent. The
MDSC 1 stated the weight loss calculation was not done correctly. MDSC 1 further stated the MDS
assessment dated [DATE] was inaccurate based on Resident 27's documented weight from 11/2021
through 04/2022.
2. During a record review of Resident 29's admission Record, dated 6/20/22, the record indicated Resident
29 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During a record review of Interdisciplinary Progress Notes, dated 9/28/14, the notes indicated Resident 29's
bed was replaced by a Posey bed (a hospital bed, canopy, and mattress system where all walls are zipped
up from outside and the resident cannot exit out of it without assistance) for a safety precaution related to
the diagnosis of Huntington's Disease (a hereditary disease of brain cells degeneration which causes

During a concurrent observation and interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5, on 6/20/22, at 9:37
a.m., Resident 29 was observed sleeping in a Posey bed with the walls zipped up. CNA 5 stated Resident
29 has been in the Posey bed for at least five years and did not get out of the bed except for showers and
monthly deep cleaning of the room.
During a concurrent record review and interview with MDSC 2, on 6/20/22, at 2:50 p.m., Resident 29's MDS

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the Pre-admission Screening and
Resident Review (PASRR) assessment for one of two sampled residents (Resident 3) when Resident 3's
PASRR did not reflect the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (a gradual and progressive movement disorder
that initially causes tremor [vibration] in one hand, stiffness or slowing of movement).
This failure placed Resident 3 at risk to not receive an in-depth mental illness evaluation and care
appropriate to his needs.
Findings:
A review of Resident 3's admission Record, dated 6/20/22, indicated Resident 3 was originally admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with Parkinson's Disease.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/20/22, at 12:00 p.m., with Medical Records Director
(MRD), Resident 3's clinical paper chart was reviewed. MRD 1 stated Resident 3's most recent PASRR
Level I assessment was completed on 8/28/18. Resident 3's PASRR Level I screening Document indicated
facility answered No to Question 21.a., The resident has a severe physical illness such as coma
.Parkinson's disease .which results in a level of impairment so severe that the resident could not be
expected to benefit from specialized services?
During a concurrent interview and record review with Interim Director of Nursing (DON) and Registered
Nurse (RN), on 6/22/22, at 1:40 p.m., Resident 3's admission Record printed 6/20/22 was reviewed. The
admission record indicated Resident 3 had a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease on admission to the facility.
The DON and RN stated facility was expected to code Yes to Question 21.a on the PASRR Level I
assessment dated [DATE].
During an interview on 6/22/22, at 1:45 p.m., the DON stated completing the PASRR assessment was a
federal regulation. The DON stated completing the PASRR Level I assessment accurately was important to
identify if residents with specific neurologic conditions require a PASRR Level II evaluation (in-depth mental
illness evaluation) or not. The DON stated due to inaccurate coding, there is a risk of Resident 3 not
receiving detailed assessment for appropriate services. The DON further stated since facility did not
complete Resident 3's PASRR assessment accurately, Resident 3 did not receive a Level II evaluation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to review and revise the care plan for one of 14
sampled residents (Resident 29) when Resident 29's care plan for a Posey bed restraint (a hospital bed,
canopy and mattress system where all walls are zipped up from outside and the resident cannot exit out of
it without assistance) was not reviewed and revised for two years and ten months.
This failure placed Resident 29 at risk for impaired psychosocial well-being and had the potential to not
meet Resident 29's care needs.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 29's admission Record, dated 6/20/22, the record indicated Resident 29
was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
During a concurrent observation and interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 5, on 6/20/22, at 9:37
a.m., Resident 29 was observed sleeping in a Posey bed with the walls zipped up. CNA 5 stated Resident
29 has been in the Posey bed for at least 5 years due to risk of falls. CNA 5 further stated Resident 29 did
not get out of the bed except during showers and monthly room deep cleaning.
During an interview with CNA 5, on 6/22/22, at 1:51 p.m., CNA 5 stated Resident 29 did not get out of bed
because of Resident 29's jerky movements. CNA 5 stated she kept the Posey bed canopy closed all the
time because it is safer for Resident 29 if it is closed. CNA 5 stated she is unaware of plans to reduce the
usage of Posey bed for Resident 29.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 6/23/22, at 12:05 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 29's Care Plan for the use of Posey Bed, dated 1/25/17 was reviewed. The care plan indicated
Resident 29 uses a Posey bed for jerky movements from Huntington's Disease and to Ensure [Resident 29]
is positioned correctly with proper body alignment while restrained. Resident 29's care plan also indicated,
Provide a meaning full program of activities that accommodates restraint use without drawing unwanted
attention. Provide restraint-free time during activities when possible to supervise closely. The DON
confirmed the facility did not review or revise the care plan since 08/2019. The DON further stated if care
plans were not reassessed as required, there was an increased risk of depression, isolation, unhappiness,
and boredom.
During a phone interview with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDSC) 1, on 6/20/22, at 2:50 p.m., MDSC 1
stated she met with Social Services Director (SSD) and Activities Director (AD 1) on 5/3/22 to reassess the
Posey bed usage for Resident 29, however, MDSC 1 did not document it in Resident 29's record until she
was asked about it on 6/20/22.
During a concurrent record review and interview with SSD, on 6/20/22, at 2:50 p.m., Resident 29's
Inter-Disciplinary Care Conference note, dated 5/3/22 was reviewed. Inter-Disciplinary Care Conference
note did not indicate assessment of Posey bed use or changes to Posey bed care plan. SSD stated
Resident 29's last care conference was on 5/3/22 but SSD and Resident 29's family representative did not
participate in the care conference.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medication error was not
five percent or greater for two of six sampled residents (Resident 19 and 8) when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Resident 19 was administered lactobacillus acidophilus (medication helps with digestive issues) 75
million cells (unit of measure) instead of 500 million cells, as prescribed; and
2. Resident 8 was administered sennosides (medication to treat constipation) 8.6 milligram (mg, unit of
measure) tablet as a whole tablet and not crushed.
This failure resulted in two medication errors out of 28 opportunities, resulted in a medication error rate of
7.14%, and put the residents at risk of receiving a subtherapeutic dose of medication or increased risk of
aspiration (accidentally inhaling food or liquid into airway) and choking.
Findings:
1. During a medication pass observation on 6/21/22, at 8:21 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN), RN was
observed administering to Resident 19, one 8.6 mg tablet of lactobacillus acidophilus with pectin containing
140 mg calcium, 100 mg pectin, and 75 million live cells per serving.
During an interview with RN, at 6/21/22, at 1:59 p.m., RN identified and verified the bottle labeled
Lactobacillus acidophilus contained 75 million cells per capsule. RN stated the physician's order was 500
million cells per capsule.
A review of Resident 19's Medication Review Report, dated 06/22/22, indicated acidophilus capsule was to
be administered twice a day for supplement and one capsule is 500 million cells.
