F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to promote resident respect and dignity when three out of eight residents (Resident 36, 10 and 154) were served their lunch trays late when others in the dining room were already eating. This failure had the potential to impact the three residents' self-esteem and self-worth. Findings: During an observation on 1/21/25 at 10:00 a.m., a posted sign at the nursing station 2 read the lunch meal would be served at 11:30 a.m. daily. The sign indicated dining room was first served. During an observation on 1/21/25 at 11:30 a.m., eight residents were seated at three different tables in the dining room. During an observation on 1/21/25 at 11:49 a.m., a food cart arrived in the dining room. Five residents seated at different tables were served and started eating. During an observation on 1/21/25 at 12:07 p.m., a second food cart arrived in the dining room. The remaining three residents were served. During an interview on 1/21/25 at 12:09 p.m., Resident 36 indicated she frequently had to wait because meals were not served at the same time in the dining room. Resident 36 stated it bothered her and made her sad to wait and watch others eat. During a record review of policy Meal Service dated 2023 indicated All residents at the same table should be served at the same time. During a record review of Resident Council Meeting Minutes dated 7/17/24, three residents voicing concern over trays being delivered at very different times.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility allowed one out of two sampled residents (Resident 11) to self-administer medications without the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a collaborative approach that combines data, techniques, and perspectives from multiple disciplines) determining if self-administration was clinically appropriate for Resident 11. Residents Affected - Few This failure was a safety issue which could lead to dosing errors and ineffective symptom management. Findings: A review of Resident 11s face sheet (demographics) indicated an admission date of 10/25/24 with a diagnoses of Weakness, Hypertension (HTN, high blood pressure) and Hyperlipidemia (HLP, high levels of fat particles (lipids) in the blood. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/22/25 at 10:36 a.m., there was a medicine cup with 4 ½ tablets noted on top of Resident 11's overbed table. Resident 11 stated the morning nurse left it there. Resident 11 could not recall the name of the pills but knew one of them was tramadol (opioid analgesic and had high potential for misuse and abuse). Resident 11 stated nurses occasionally would leave medications at her bedside and allowed her to self-administer her medications. Resident 11 stated staff did not perform any assessments to determine whether it was safe and appropriate for her to self-administer her medications. During an interview on 1/22/25 at 11:21 a.m., when shown a photograph of the medication cup containing 4 ½ tablets on top of Resident 11s overbed table, Registered Nurse (RN) I verified these medications were Resident 11s medications and the 1/2 pill was tramadol. RN I stated she could not recall why the medications were left at Resident 11s overbed table. RN I stated leaving medications at bedside should not happen and was a safety issue as other residents may accidentally take the medications, residents may not take the medications and could end up having pain. RN I could not recall whether an assessment was done to check if Resident 11 was safe to self-administer her medications. During an interview on 1/22/25 at 12:07 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated medications should not be left at bedside if they did not have an order and if they did not have an assessment indicating they were safe to self-administer their medications. The DON stated leaving medications at bedside was a safety issue and could lead to other residents accidentally ingesting medications not meant for them. During an interview on 1/24/25 at 9:10 a.m., the DON verified there were no assessment done to determine if Resident 11 was safe to self-administer her medications. The DON verified there were no IDT assessment or progress note that would indicate Resident 11 was assessed for safety and appropriateness to self-administer her medications. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Self-Administration of Medication, revised 8/2024, the P&P indicated .if a resident desires to participate in self administration, the IDT will assess and periodically re-evaluate the resident based on change in resident status .

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure: Residents Affected - Few 1. the opthalmic (eye) suspension medication of one out of two sampled residents (Resident 4) was labeled properly when the physician's order had changed. 2. the discontinued level II-V medications (drugs with a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence) were stored in a permanently affixed compartment prior to destruction. These failures had the potential to cause medication errors and/or lead to drug diversion. 1. Findings: A review of Resident 4s face sheet (demographics) indicated an admission date of 3/17/23 with a diagnoses of Low Back Pain and Weakness. A review of Resident 4s Physician Order Summary (POS, a written physician order/instruction for staff to follow) indicated an order of ophthalmic (eye) suspension 1 percent (%, one part in every hundred) instill 1 drop (gtt) in left eye two times a day dated 1/20/25 for herpes viral keratitis (infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).

F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 1/23/25 at 10:40 a.m., Operations Manager stated the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee met in January and had had discussed resident dissatisfaction with meals. He stated QAPI had a plan to test meal trays and audit resident meals. He stated QAPI had not started the process yet and there were no performance improvement projects that included resident food palatability, temperature of food or temperature of the ambient temperature of facility areas. Residents Affected - Many A review of the Resident Council meeting minutes from 10/24 indicated resident grievances included the resident rooms temperatures were cold for rooms 1, 2, 3, 9, 11, 15, 19, 24, 27, 28, 30. Grievances from resident included complaints that food temperatures were cold. The Resident Council meeting minutes from 11/24 did not indicate follow up from the facility administration for the grievances that included cold resident rooms and cold meals. Review of the minutes for the last year indicated resident complaints about their rooms being cold were discussed at Resident Council on 1/24, 2/24, 4/24, 6/24, 10/24, 11/24 and 12/24. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that food was prepared by methods that preserved nutrition, palatability and served at an appetizing temperature when eight out of 46 residents (Resident 4,Resident 11, Resident 253, Resident 29, Resident 35, Resident 154, Resident 36, Resident 1) received meals that were cold, flavorless and overcooked.
