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 that the call light device (one of the major communication technologies that link nursing home staff to the needs of residents) was within reach (an arm's length) of one (1) of 15 sampled residents (Resident 4). This failure had the potential to cause a delay in care for Resident 4 and prevent the resident from receiving the necessary care and services, which could lead to illness or serious injury.Findings:During a review of Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of dementia (progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills), muscle weakness, and aphasia (an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write). During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/10/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4's cognitive skills (processes of thinking and reasoning) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS also indicated Resident 4 was partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) on personal hygiene (the ability to maintain personal hygiene, including combing hair, shaving, applying makeup, washing/drying face and hands (excluding baths, showers, and oral hygiene). The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent (helper does all the effort, resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) on toileting hygiene (the ability to maintain perineal hygiene, adjust clothes before and after voiding or having a bowel movement). During a review of Resident 4's care plan revised on 12/18/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 4 was at risk for fall related to confusion, history of fall, incontinence (involuntary loss of urine or stool), unaware of safety needs, poor vision. The care plan also indicated to ensure the resident's call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. During a review of Resident 4's care plan initiated on 5/28/2025, it indicated Resident 4 cannot verbally communicate which makes having the call light at his (Resident 4) side very important as well as paying attention to his verbal cues. The care plan indicated the activities will trigger call light and alert nursing staff at Resident 4's request for medications and pain management. During an observation on 1/20/2026 at 2:24 PM in Resident 4's room, observed Resident 4 call light coiled on the right of the resident's bed rails (are adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed. They are available in a variety of types, shapes, and sizes ranging from full to one-half, one-quarter, or one-eighth lengths) and hanging, the call was visibly out of Resident 4's reach. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/22/2026 at 7:58 AM in Resident 4's room with the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA1), observed Resident 4 looking for his call light. CNA 1 stated the call light was observed coiled at the resident's bed rails hanging down. CNA 1 stated the resident was looking for the call light and was unable to find and reach it.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatments and services to increase, prevent, or maintain range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint) for one (1) of 15 sampled residents (Resident10) as indicated on the facility's Assistive Devices and Equipment policy.This deficient practice placed Resident 10 at risk for developing contractures (condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints), which could result in pain and discomfort, joint deformities, immobility, and skin breakdown.Findings:During a review of the admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 10 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), encounter for attention to gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems), and lack of coordination.During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 1/2/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 10 had severely impaired cognitive (thought process and ability to reason or make decisions) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 10 has impairment on bilateral upper and lower extremities. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all the effort) from staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 10 was dependent from staff from rolling left and right (the ability to roll from lying on back to left and right side, and return to lying on back on the bed), sit to lying (the ability to move from sitting on side of bed to lying flat on the bed), and lying to sitting on side of bed (the ability to move from lying on the back to sitting on the side of the bed and with no back support). Resident 10 was assessed with bilateral upper and lower functional limitations in ROM.During a review of Resident 10's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/4/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 10 has multiple medical issues including muscle weakness, muscle wasting (weakening, shrinking, and loss of muscle) and atrophy (the loss of muscle mass and strength, resulting in thinner, smaller muscles), abnormal posture (improper, rigid, or chronic misalignment of the body).During an observation on 1/20/2026 at 2:32 PM, in facility's activity room, Resident 10 was observed sitting in a Geri chair (a specialized, mobile, and reclining chair designed for individuals with limited mobility).During a concurrent record review and interview on 1/21/2026 at 3:50 PM with the MDS Nurse (MDSN), Resident 10's medical records were reviewed. The MDSN stated that Resident 10 has always used a Geri chair and not a wheelchair. The MDSN stated Resident 10 was using the Geri chair due to a diagnosis of abnormal posture. The MDSN verified that Resident 10 does not have an order for the use of a Geri chair. The MDSN stated before a resident can use a Geri chair, an assessment by the rehabilitation department should be conducted, and a recommendation for its use should be communicated to the nursing department. The MDSN further stated that once the recommendation from the rehabilitation department is received, the Director of Nursing (DON) will assess the resident using the Nursing-Physical Restraint/Assistive Device Evaluation in the resident's electronic medical record. The MDSN stated this assessment tool documents what type of device is needed for the resident's positioning and comfort. The MDSN stated there was no documented evidence that the rehabilitation department was consulted regarding Resident 10's abnormal posture. The MDSN also stated that Resident 10 does not have, but should have, a Nursing-Physical Restraint/Assistive Device Evaluation for the use of a Geri chair.During an interview on 1/23/2026 at 5:45 PM with the DON, she stated that the rehabilitation department should have

communicated Resident 10's abnormal posture to the nursing department and indicated if they were recommending the use of a Geri chair. The DON stated it was important to address Resident 10's poor posture and obtain an order for a Geri chair to promote proper body alignment and positioning for safety. The DON further stated Resident 10's mobility was not properly addressed since the rehabilitation department did not provide a recommendation for the use of a Geri chair to assist with Resident 10's abnormal posture.During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Assistive Devices and Equipment, dated 2001, the P&P indicated certain devices and equipment that assist with resident mobility, safety, and independence are provided for residents. These may include (but are not limited to) mobility devices (wheelchairs, walkers, and canes).

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care and treatment for one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Resident 8) reviewed for catheter (flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine when a person cannot urinate naturally) by failing to monitor and empty the nephrostomy (a medical procedure in which a tube is inserted through the skin of the lower back into the kidney to drain urine when the normal flow is blocked) drainage tube in accordance with the physician's order, care plan, and the facility's Care of Nephrostomy Policy and Procedures (P&P). This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 8 experiencing pain, discomfort, and infection, as well as complications such as kidney damage (condition when kidneys cannot properly filter waste and excess fluids from the blood) due to urine backing up into the kidneys, which could negatively affect the resident's overall well-being.Findings:During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 8's diagnoses included chronic kidney disease (CKD, a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood), anxiety disorder (mental health condition characterized by excessive, persistent, and often uncontrollable feelings of worry or fear that interfere with a person's daily activities), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs)During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had intact cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 8 needed substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and provides more than half the effort) in toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, and tub/shower transfer.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/22/2026 at 7:52 AM in Resident 8's room, Resident 8's nephrostomy tube dressing had greenish-brown drainage on the adhesive dressing. The site showed minimal redness, and there was a slight foul odor from the area. Resident 8's nephrostomy bag was positioned on the left side of the bed. Resident 8 stated that she always reminds the outgoing shift nurses to inform the incoming shift nurses to empty the bag at 1 AM, but this is often not done. Resident 8 stated the nephrostomy bag fills up quickly and takes only a minute to drain. Resident 8 added, If the nephrostomy bag fills up, it sometimes causes pain in my lower back because the urine backs up to my kidneys. Resident 8 added that this can lead to an infection and possibly result in the resident being transferred to the hospital.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/22/2026 at 7:55 AM with Treatment Nurse 1 (TXN 1) in Resident 8's room, Resident 8's nephrostomy drain site had a greenish- brown drainage on the dressing and minimal redness at the site. TXN 1 stated the nephrostomy site dressing was dirty and had some hair on the adhesive dressing. TXN1 also stated that the nephrostomy site consistently had a greenish brown - drainage.During an interview and record review on 1/22/2026 at 11:12 AM with TXN 1, Resident 8's Physician orders dated 5/15/2025 and 10/30/2025 were reviewed. The orders indicated the following:Treatment: Left flank (the area on the side of the body between the ribs and the hip) nephrostomy site: cleanse with normal saline solution, pat dry, cover with dry dressing, cover with dry dressing every 7AM to 3PM (AM) shift.Left flank nephrostomy: Check for obstructive and reflux uropathy (kidney damage caused by the backward flow of urine from the bladder up into the ureters and kidneys) every shiftNephrostomy: Empty drainage bag every shift or before completely full.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure appropriate competencies and skills sets to provide nursing and related services were completed for five (5) of 5 sampled employees in accordance with facility's policy and procedures (P&P). This deficient practice has high potential to cause an increased risk for improper resident assessments, inadequate documentation, and could negatively impact the quality of care to the residents which could lead to hospitalization or death.Findings:1. During a review of Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2)'s skills check evaluation competency, dated 12/23/2025, indicated a blank box where initial skills check date was performed. The form indicated under instructions that the Director of Staff Development (DSD)/ Facility Approved Nursing Training Instructor/ Responsible Appropriate Designee - will complete Initial CNA skills check evaluation competency for all onboarding CNA employee participant following education training provided upon new hire orientation and onboarding process, annually, and as deemed necessary by the Director of Nursing (DON)/Administrator/Appropriate Designee. The form also indicated, the instructor will check the appropriate column (either U [unsatisfactory] or S [satisfactory]) with dates of observations in the spaces provided following review of each skill and only few check marks were seen in the form, with no documentation of dates when the tasks were evaluated. During a concurrent record review and interview on 1/23/2026 at 9:05 AM with Director of Staff Development (DSD), CNA 2's employee file (personal records) was reviewed. DSD stated the employee file indicated CNA 2 was hired on 12/23/2025. DSD stated she conducted CNA 2's skills check evaluation competency on 12/23/2025. DSD explained that CNA 2 was able to perform all tasks in the checklist, that is why DSD checked off the first box of satisfactory and drew a line down to indicate that all the tasks down the list are satisfactory. DSD stated the last page (page 3) of the skills check evaluation competency, the box for CNA 2's signature and date signed was blank. DSD stated the skills check evaluation competency for CNA 2 is incomplete because there are no dates documented when the tasks were completed/ skills were evaluated, and no documentation on the comments section of which type of evaluation was used to evaluate specific tasks. DSD stated she completed the skills evaluation for CNA 2 by actual observation of the skills to residents on 12/23/2025. DSD refused to answer how she evaluated CNA 2 for the choking and Heimlich maneuver (first-aid procedure for dislodging an obstructions from a person's airway/ windpipe in which a sudden strong pressure is applied on the abdomen, between the navel and the rib cage) tasks. 2. During a review of CNA 3's skills check evaluation competency, dated 1/7/2026, indicated a blank box where initial skills check date was performed. The form indicated under instructions that the DSD/ Facility Approved Nursing Training Instructor/ Responsible Appropriate Designee - will complete initial CNA skills check evaluation competency for all onboarding CNA employee participant following education training provided upon new hire orientation and onboarding process, annually, and as deemed necessary by the DON/Administrator/Appropriate Designee. The form also indicated, the instructor will check the appropriate column (either U or S) with dates of observations in the spaces provided following review of each skill and only few check marks were seen in the form, with no documentation of dates when the tasks were evaluated. During a concurrent record review and interview on 1/23/2026 at 9:15 AM with DSD, CNA 3's employee file (personal records) was reviewed. DSD stated the employee file indicated CNA 3 was hired on 1/6/2026. DSD stated she conducted CNA 3's skills check evaluation competency on 1/7/2026. DSD stated CNA 3 was able to perform all tasks properly, that is why she thinks CNA 3 is competent to do her (CNA 3) job. DSD stated she was trying to do short-cut with filling in the forms, so she only wrote S in the first box of the satisfactory column and drew line all the way down the check list. DSD

stated the skills check evaluation competency for CNA 3 is incomplete because there are no dates documented when the tasks were completed, and no documentation on the comments section of which type of evaluation was used to evaluate specific tasks. DSD stated it is important to evaluate CNA's skills competency before releasing them from orientation to know if the employee needs more training and to ensure resident's safety. DSD stated the evaluation must not have been done correctly for CNA 2 and 3 because each task was not checked off, and no documentation of how the skill was validated. DSD stated not all the tasks on list were observed, some were discussed verbally. DSD stated she should have not drew a line down the list and should have added a check mark on each skill once evaluated with the date of evaluation to ensure all the tasks were completed. 3. During a review of Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2)'s Performance Evaluation (a formal, periodic review where a manager assesses how well a nurse is performing their job, often comparing their work to set standards and goals) dated 9/11/2024, indicated LVN 2 meets expectations (performance is at average, acceptable level, some interest in improving and positive behavior about their job and the facility) for completing tasks on time, and meeting job requirements. During a review of LVN 2's undated Skills checklist - Licensed Nurse Medication (Med) Administration, indicated skill proficiencies will be evaluated by describing the procedure and/or return demonstration. The form indicated check marks in the met column, and no description describing how the skills were evaluated. The form did not indicate name of evaluator or observer. During a review of LVN 2's undated and untimed Med Pass (the organized, scheduled process where nurses distribute prescribed medications to residents) form.

Evaluation/Orientation Checklist was not in RNS 2's employee file folder. FC stated skills competency evaluation should always be kept in the employees' profile to ensure availability at times that it needs to be accessed. FC stated maintaining employee files complete is important to have documented evidence of employees record and proof that evaluation was done before the employee is released to work independently. FC stated the DON is supposed to conduct the upon hire skills competency for registered nurses and not the DSD, then the DON will submit the forms to DSD for employee file records. 5. During a review of RNS 4's undated new hire employee orientation day 1 and day 2 training acknowledgement review checklist, conducted by DSD, indicated new hire employee will review checklist below to ensure review of all subjects listed as it pertains to employment procedures in facility, employee will initial column for competence.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor the use of insulin (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood, can be produced by the body or given artificially via medication) and anticoagulant therapy (a medical treatment using drugs called blood thinners to prevent or treat dangerous blood clots [thrombi] by slowing the blood's clotting process, stopping existing clots from growing, and preventing new ones from forming) for two (2) of 15 sampled residents (Residents 1, and 32) as indicated on the residents' care plan by failing to monitor: 1. Resident 1 for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (an abnormally low level of sugar [glucose] in the blood) and hyperglycemia (a condition where the blood glucose [sugar] levels are abnormally high), while on Insulin Lispro (Humalog, a fast-acting insulin) from 12/21/2025 to 1/23/2026. 2. a. Resident 32 for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia while on Insulin Lispro from 11/18/2025 up to 11/23/2026. 2. b. Resident 32 for signs and symptoms of bleeding for the use of Enoxaparin Sodium Injection (Lovenox, is an anticoagulant, also known as a blood thinner, that slows the body's normal clotting process and reducing risk of deep vein thrombosis [DVT, a condition in which harmful blood clots form in the blood vessels of the legs]) from 11/18/2025 to 1/23/2026. This deficient practice had the potential for Residents 2 and 32 to experience episodes of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and bleeding without proper monitoring while on insulin, which may result in harm, hospitalization, and death.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included type 2 diabetes (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), right leg cellulitis (a bacterial infection that enters the skin and tissue through a wound), lumbar spine spondylosis (a common condition that refers to age related wear and tear affecting the discs and joints of the lower back over time), and lymphedema (swelling that occurs when the lymphatic system [part of the body's immune and drainage network] cannot properly remove excess fluid, causing it to accumulate in tissues leading to persistent swelling, often in the arms or legs). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 1 needed setup or clean-up assistance (Helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity. Helper assists only prior to or following the activity) in eating and oral hygiene.

MDSN stated if it was not documented, then it was not done. MDSN stated it was important for Resident 1 to be monitored for the s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia because the worst possible outcome during an episode of hypoglycemia is a diabetic coma (a medical emergency caused by a blood sugar level that was too low or too high). MDSN added, if Resident 1 exhibits symptoms of hyperglycemia, the most serious consequence could be metabolic acidosis (a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids), and the resident might need to be transferred to the hospital. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 8:15 AM with MDSN, Resident 1's Care Plan (CP) for diabetes mellitus dated 1/9/2026 was reviewed. The CP indicated Resident 1 had diabetes mellitus and was at risk for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia reaction. MDSN state the CP interventions should have included monitoring Resident 1 for s/s of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. During an interview on 1/23/2026 at 4:57 PM with Pharmacist 2, Pharmacist 2 stated that licensed facility staff should know the s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia when residents are using insulin. They should document monitoring for these s/s in the residents' records. Pharmacist 2 stated this should be included in the resident's care plan, documented in the progress notes, and the physician should always be notified according to the physician's order. 2. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 32 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 32's diagnoses included DM II, bilateral knee osteoarthritis (a type of arthritis that happens when cartilage in the joints wears down), obesity (a condition marked by excess accumulation of body fat), and hypertension (high blood pressure), During a review of Resident 32's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 32's cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 32 needed substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and provides more than half the effort) toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear roll left and right, sit - to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, sit to stand, and chair/ bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, and walk 10 feet. The MDS also indicated Resident 32 received 2 insulin injections during the last 7 days. a. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 8:51 AM with MDSN, Resident 32's PO, dated 11/18/2025, was reviewed.

MDSN stated that there was no documentation showing staff monitored Resident 32 for s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. MDSN also stated that if there was no documentation of monitoring for these s/s, staff were not aware of the residents' condition and would not be able to provide quality care. During an interview on 1/23/2026 at 4:52 PM with Pharmacist 1, Pharmacist 1 stated that the facility usually has a protocol when a resident is taking insulin which is to monitor for s/s of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Diabetes Clinical Protocol, the P&P indicated, the staff and provider will monitor for and manage hypoglycemia appropriately. Monitoring is included as part of the plan of care. The staff and provider will monitor for and manage hyperglycemia appropriately. Monitoring is included as part of the plan of care. b. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 8:51 AM with MDSN, Resident 32's PO, dated 11/18/2025, was reviewed. The PO indicated Enoxaparin Sodium Solution 40 mg/ 0.4 ml. Inject 40 mg subcutaneously one time a day for blood clotting prevention. MDSN stated Resident 32 did not and should have had an order to monitor bleeding, for bruises, and hematoma (a localized collection of blood outside of the blood vessels) because the resident was prone to it due to use of Lovenox. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 9:09 AM with MDSN, Resident 32's CP on Anticoagulant therapy dated 11/19/2025 was reviewed.

17's 9 AM medications were administered outside the one-hour window. LVN 2 stated when administering medications to his assigned residents, he takes time to check their vital signs, such as blood pressure, and pays attention to residents who want to speak with him. LVN 2 stated he should have delegated the administration of medications for other residents who had not received their 9 AM doses to another licensed nurse in the facility, such as the RN Supervisor, Director of Staff Development, Infection Preventionist Nurse, MDS Nurse, or Director of Nursing (DON). LVN 2 stated it is important to administer medications on time and as ordered by the physician to ensure efficacy and avoid possible adverse reactions or side effects that the resident may experience.During an interview on 1/23/2026 at 7 PM, the DON stated not following a physician's order constitutes a medication error. The DON confirmed that LVN 2 administered Resident 17's 9 AM medications late on 1/22/2026 and that RNS 4 also administered Resident 10's 9 AM medications late on the same day. The DON stated medications may be administered one hour before or after the scheduled time but should not exceed that window, as doing so is considered a medication error. The DON added when LVN 2 and RNS 4 were having difficulty administering medications within the allotted time, they should have asked for assistance so another licensed nurse could help. The DON stated, If medications are not administered on time, for example, anti-anxiety medications, it can affect the mood and behavior of residents, which can impact their activities of daily living (ADLs).' The DON also added failing to administer medication as ordered by the physician can lead to medical complications, possibly resulting in hospitalization.During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications, revised in April 2019, the P&P indicated medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. It indicated medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame. The P&P indicated medications are administered within one (1) hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example, before and after meal orders) or ordered by the physician. The P&P also indicated medication administration times are determined by resident need and benefit, not staff convenience. Factors that are considered included:Enhancing optimal therapeutic effect of the medication.Preventing potential medication or food interactions.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain an accurate and complete record for two (2) of 15 sampled residents (Resident 8 and 17) as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure when.1.The facility failed to update Resident 8's Medication Administration Records (MAR, a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) and care plan to indicate the behavior monitoring is for the use of clonazepam (a long-acting benzodiazepine with intermediate onset commonly used to treat panic disorders, severe anxiety, and seizures) and not Xanax (Alprazolam, is used to relieve symptoms of anxiety, including anxiety caused by depression [a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest] and treat panic disorder[sudden, intense feelings of fear that cause physical symptoms like racing heartrate, fast breathing and sweating]). 2.Resident 17's progress notes on 1/19/2026 to 1/23/2026 indicated the resident is being monitored for weight gain instead of weight loss. This deficient practice had the potential to result in miscommunication and improper delivery of care and inaccurate information of the care provided to Resident 8 and 17.Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE], Resident 8's diagnoses included chronic kidney disease (CKD, is a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should), anxiety disorder (a disorder characterized by nervousness characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior [repetitive, persistent, and often uncontrollable actions that a person feels driven to perform] or panic attacks), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs) During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had intact cognitive skills (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 8 needed substantial/ maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. helper lifts, holds trunk or limbs, and provides more than half the effort) in toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, putting on/ taking off footwear, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, and tub/shower transfer. During a review of Resident 8's Care Plan for anxiety manifested by constant thoughts of over concern of health issues revised on 8/6/2025. The Care plan intervention indicated to monitor behavior episodes of constant thoughts of over concern of health issues and document with tally marks/ hash mark for each episode in the MAR every shift for Xanax use. During a review of Resident 8's Physician's Orders dated 8/5/2025 was reviewed, the Physician's order indicated clonazepam tablet 0.5 milligram (mg, a unit of weight/mass, give 1 tablet by mouth in the morning for anxiety manifested by constant thoughts of over concern of health issues. During a record review of Resident 8's Physician Orders dated 11/22/2022 and 7/30/2025, the physician orders indicated, on 11/22/2025, to start Resident 8 on Xanax tablet 0.5 mg by mouth one time a day and it was discontinued on 7/30/2025. The physician order dated 11/22/2022 also indicated to monitor the resident for behavior episodes of constant thoughts of over concern of health issues and hashmark for each episode in the MAR every shift for Xanax use.

During an interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 8:30 AM with MDS Nurse (MDSN), MAR for the month of January 2026 was reviewed. The MAR indicated to monitor Resident 8 for behavior episodes of constant thoughts of over concern about health issues and hashmark for each episode in the MAR every shift for Xanax use. MDSN stated the staff were monitoring Resident 8 for behavior episodes for the use of clonazepam and not for Xanax since Xanax was discontinued on 7/30/2025 and was changed to clonazepam on 8/5/2025. MDSN stated the medication name in the MAR for the behavior monitoring was incorrect and it should have been changed to clonazepam instead of Xanax. MDSN added, the licensed nurse should have clarified the order with the doctor so it will reflect the correct medication name in the care plan and MAR. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/23/2026 at 8:33 AM with MDSN, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documentation revised 7/2017, the P&P indicated, documentation in the medical record will be objective (not opinionated or speculative), complete, and accurate.
