Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive person-centered care plan (a structured document that outlines a patient's healthcare needs, goals and the nursing interventions needed to achieve them), was developed for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 2) when, an elopement care plan was not developed for Resident 2 after Resident 2 was identified as at risk for elopement on 12/24/25.This failure put Resident 2 at risk for elopement.Findings: A review of Resident 2's admission RECORD indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses including but not limited to End Stage Renal Disease (the irreversible loss of 85-90% of kidney function, where the kidneys can no longer support life), dependence on renal dialysis (a life-sustaining treatment for kidney failure (renal failure) or advanced chronic kidney disease that filters toxins, waste, and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys can no longer perform these functions), and Sequelae of cerebral infarction (the lasting, long-term physical, cognitive, and psychological effects following an ischemic stroke, often including paralysis (hemiplegia), speech deficits, cognitive decline, and emotional changes).Review of Resident 2's record titled Elopement Evaluation, dated 12/24/25, indicated Resident 2 was .At Risk for Elopement .During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/12/26, at 3:20 PM, Resident 2's care plans were reviewed with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON confirmed Resident 2 did not have a care plan created for elopement. The DON stated there should have been a care plan for elopement. The DON further stated not having a care plan put Resident 2 at risk of elopement. The DON added that a comprehensive care plan was very important for the staff as it guides them with interventions to care for the residents and be more vigilant and careful if the resident is trying to leave the facility. Review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Wandering and Elopements, revised 3/19, the P&P indicated, .If identified as at risk for wandering, elopement, or other safety issues, the resident's care plan will include strategies and interventions to maintain the resident's safety.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide comprehensive pain management, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when, Resident 1 had not been given the appropriate pain medication as per the pain assessment scale (a tool used to assess the level of pain) and provided pain medication as ordered by the physician.This failure resulted in Resident 1's pain not being effectively managed and Resident 1's pain not being treated per the physician's orders. Findings:A review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in mid-2024 with diagnoses which included polyneuropathy (a condition characterized by damage to multiple peripheral nerves, usually causing symmetrical numbness, tingling, weakness, and burning pain, often starting in the feet or hands) and gout (a common, painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia) that form needle-like crystals in joints).A review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, indicated a physician's order for .Acetaminophen Tablet 325MG (Acetaminophen) Give 2 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for Mild Pain. Resident 1's order summary report also indicated another physician's order which indicated, .[Hydrocodone/acetaminophen] Norco [pain relieving medication] Oral, Tablet 5-325 MG (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen) Give 1 tablet via G-Tube [A gastrostomy tube (G-tube) is a medical device inserted through the abdomen directly into the stomach to provide long-term nutrition, fluids, and medication] every 6 hours as needed for pain level 5-10.[Pain scales are standardized, subjective tools used by healthcare professionals to measure pain intensity, typically ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable)].During an interview, on 2/17/26, at 3:25 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1 stated when Resident 1 was in pain, his respirations and heart rate would go up, his eyes and mouth would open and there was grimacing noted on his face. LN 1 stated they use a PAINAD scale (pain assessment in advanced dementia is a validated, 5-item observational tool used by healthcare professionals to measure pain (0-10 score) in patients with severe dementia or communication deficits. It assesses breathing, negative vocalization, facial expression, body language, and consolability) to access Resident 1's pain, after which she would then administer 2 acetaminophen tablets to Resident 1. LN 1 stated it was nursing judgement to determine pain medication to give. LN 1 stated Resident 1 was non-verbal and had a lot of wounds which were painful. LN 1 further stated, she did not like giving hydrocodone/acetaminophen as Resident 1's body would get used to it and the medication would become less effective.A review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record [MAR], dated for the month of 1/26, Resident 1's administration record for acetaminophen, indicated Resident 1 had a documented pain level of 8 on 1/6/26, 5 on 1/17/26, 6 on 1/21/26, and 7 on 1/30/26 and Resident 1 was given 2 acetaminophen tablets on these dates. Further review of Resident 1's MAR for the month of 1/26, indicated Resident 1's administration record for hydrocodone/acetaminophen, indicated Resident 1 had a documented pain level of 4 on 1/8/26, 0 on 1/26/26 and 0 on 1/31/26 and Resident 1 was given 1 hydrocodone/acetaminophen tablet on these dates. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/17/26, at 4 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's MAR, dated for the month of 1/26, was reviewed. The DON confirmed that Resident 1 was given acetaminophen sometimes when his pain level was above 5, and Resident 1 should have received the hydrocodone/acetaminophen pain medication at those times. The DON confirmed that Resident 1 received hydrocodone/acetaminophen sometimes when his pain level was lower, and Resident 1 should have received acetaminophen as per the physician's orders. The DON further stated, staff failed to manage Resident 1's pain properly and put Resident 1 at risk of being overmedicated when his pain was less and undermedicated when he was in more pain. The DON further stated that it was very important to follow the physician's order properly so residents' pain can be managed effectively as it is
