This survey cited 24 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the safe self-administration of medication for one nonsampled resident (Resident 41). Residents Affected - Few * Two bottles of Systane eye drops (medication to temporarily relieve dry, irritated eyes) were kept at Resident 41's bedside table. Resident 41 had self-administered the Systane eye drop medication after being assessed to not self-administer her medications. This failure had the potential for the resident to administer the medications inaccurately and negatively affect the resident's physiological well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Self-Administration of Medications revised on 2/2021 showed the following: - As a part of the evaluation comprehensive assessment, the IDT assesses each resident's cognitive and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is safe and clinically appropriate for the resident; - If it is deemed safe and appropriate for a resident to self-administer medications, this is documented in the medical record and the care plan; - Residents who are identified as being able to self-administer medications are asked whether they wish to do so; - For self-administering residents, the nursing staff determines who is responsible (the resident or the nursing staff) for documenting that medications are taken; and - Any medications found at the bedside that are not authorized for self-administration are turned over to the nurse in charge for return to the family or responsible party. During the initial tour of the facility on 4/1/25 at 0808 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 41. Resident 41 was observed in bed. Two bottles of Systane eye drop medication were observed on top of Resident 41's bedside table. Resident 41 stated she did administer the Systane eye drops to herself. On 4/1/25 at 1559 hours, an observation and concurrent interview for Resident 41 was conducted with LVN 10. LVN 10 verified the two bottles of Systane eye drop medication were on Resident 41's (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0625 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the resident and/or their representative were provided with the written information regarding the facility's bed-hold policy when the resident was transferred to the acute care hospital for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 3) reviewed for hospitalization. This failure had the potential for Resident 3 and/or their representative to be unaware of their rights to request a bed hold and return to the first available bed should the resident's hospital stay exceed the seven-day bed-hold period. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed-Holds and Returns revised 10/2022 showed it is the policy of the facility to inform the resident or the resident's representative with the written information regarding their right to exercise the bed hold provision during periods of absence upon admission and provide a second notice before transfer to a general acute care hospital or before the resident goes on a therapeutic leave. In the event of an emergency transfer, the second notice will be provided within 24 hours. Medical record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 4/1/25. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 3's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 1/9/25, to send Resident 3 to the acute care hospital due to decreased oxygen saturation (amount of oxygen in the blood) level. Review of Resident 3's eInteract Transfer Form v5 dated 1/9/25 at 0758 hours, showed Resident 3 was transferred to the acute care hospital. Review of Resident 3's medical record did not show if the written information regarding the facility's bed hold policy was provided to Resident 3's representative when Resident 3 was transferred to the acute care hospital on 1/9/25.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to meet the professional standards of care for one nonsampled resident (Resident 370) observed for medication administration. Residents Affected - Few * LVN 1 failed to follow the proper procedure for the administration of insulin. This failure posed the risk for the resident to develop complications related to the inappropriate technique with the administration of insulin (used to treat high blood sugar). Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Insulin Administration revised 5/2024 showed the Steps in the Procedure (Insulin Injections via Syringe) section including to clean the injection site with an alcohol wipe and allow to air dry. Review of the Administration Guide from the manufacturer of the Lantus insulin (undated) showed Step 4: Choose an Injection Site included the following: - Decide on an injection area- either upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. Injection sites within an injection area must be different from one injection to the next; - Use rubbing alcohol to clean the skin where you are going to inject. Alcohol can sometimes sting if it is not completely dry when you inject, so wait a few seconds for it to evaporate or pat the area dry with sterile cotton ball; and - Pinch the skin and hold it. Insert the needle the way your healthcare professional showed you. Medical record review for Resident 370 was initiated on 4/2/25. Resident 370 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 370's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 3/26/25, to administer insulin glargine solution (Lantus) 100 units/ml 25 units subcutaneously (into the fatty tissue layer) two times a day for diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar). On 4/2/25 at 0943 hours, a medication administration observation was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 370 was to receive the Lantus insulin 25 units subcutaneously. LVN 1 was observed wiping Resident 370's left upper quadrant of the abdomen with an alcohol wipe and injected the Lantus insulin right away while the injected area was still visibly wet. LVN 1 did not wait for the area wiped with alcohol to dry before injecting the insulin to Resident 370. On 4/2/25 at 1426 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated he received training regarding how to properly administer insulin or any injectable medications. LVN 1 stated prior to administering or injecting the insulin, the area where to inject the medication should be cleansed with alcohol and let it air dry. LVN 1 stated if the insulin was injected while the area was still wet with alcohol, it might sting and could cause pain to the resident, and it might alter the effect of the medication. LVN 1 verified Resident 370's left upper quadrant of the abdomen where he injected the insulin was not completely dry prior to administering the insulin.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the treatment was provided to prevent the decline in the ROM functions for one of three final sampled residents (Resident 63) reviewed for prevention of ROM functions. * The physician's order to apply an extension splint to Resident 63's left knee was not followed. In addition, Resident 63's skin was not assessed when the splint was applied. This failure had the potential for Resident 63 to sustain a decline in ROM functions, leading to muscle atrophy (loss of muscle mass and strength) and decrease in functioning. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Restorative Nursing Services dated 5/2024 showed the restorative care will be provided to help promote optimal safety and independence. During the initial tour of the facility on 4/1/25 at 1045 hours, an observation and concurrent interview with Resident 63 was conducted. Resident 63 was observed wearing the left lower leg splint. Resident 63 stated there were screws placed on his leg to align his leg. Medical record review for Resident 63 was initiated on 4/7/25. Resident 63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

However, there was no physician's order to include the skin assessment when the left knee splint was applied. Review of Resident 63's plan of care showed a care plan problem (undated) addressing the potential decline in the resident's ROM functions and mobility. The interventions included the application of the left knee extension splint for up to five hours as per the physician's order. However, there were no interventions included in the care plan to perform Resident 63's skin assessment when the left knee splint was applied to the resident. Review of Resident 63's Documentation Survey Report for April 2025 showed the RNA had applied the left extension knee splint to Resident 63. However, the record failed to show an accurate record of the time when the splint was applied and removed. In addition, there was no documented evidence the skin assessment was completed when the left knee extension splint was applied to Resident 63's left knee. On 4/7/25 at 0908 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 63 was conducted with RNA 1.

F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate pain management for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 111) reviewed for pain management. Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to accurately document the monitoring of pain for Resident 111 and administer the pain medication according to the physician's order. In addition, the facility failed to ensure the non-pharmacological interventions were provided to Resident 111 prior to the administration of the pain medication. These failures had the potential to put Resident 111 at risk for ineffective pain management and adverse effects related to the use of unnecessary pain medication. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Pain Assessment and Management revised 5/2024 showed the pain management program is based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and treatment of pain, based on the professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the resident's choices related to pain management. Non-pharmacological interventions may be appropriate alone or in conjunction with medications. Pharmacological interventions may be prescribed to manage pain, however they do not usually address the cause of pain and can have adverse effects on the resident (e.g., drowsiness, increased risk of falling; loss of appetite). When opioids are used for pain management, the resident is monitored for medication effectiveness, adverse effects, and potential side effects. Medical record review for Resident 111 was initiated on 4/1/25. Resident 111 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 111's Order Summary Report for April 2025 showed the following physician's orders: - dated 2/12/25, to monitor Resident 111's level of pain every shift, using the 0-10 pain scale as follows: 0= no pain, 1-4= mild pain, 5-6= moderate pain, and 7-10= severe pain, - dated 2/12/25, to implement the non-pharmacological interventions for pain prior to administering the pain medication; and to document 1. Back rub; 2. Repositioning; 3. Warm drink; 4. TV/Music; 5. Ice pack; 6. None. - dated 2/12/25, to administer oxycodone (narcotic opioid medication) 5 mg one tablet by mouth every six hours a needed for moderate to severe pain, pain levels of 6-10. Review of Resident 111's MAR for March 2025 showed Resident 111 was administered oxycodone 5 mg one tablet by mouth when the pain level was not within the ordered pain level parameters (pain 6-10) on the following dates and times: - dated 3/3/25 at 2007 hours, for a pain level of 0. - dated 3/17/25 at 1530 hours, for a pain level of 0; and at 2138 hours, for a pain level of 0. - dated 3/24/25 at 1525 hours, for a pain level of 0; and at 2120 hours, for a pain level of 0.

Resident 105 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders: - dated 12/10/24, to administer Celexa (medication for depression) 10 mg one tablet by mouth at bedtime for depression as evidenced by episodes of tearfulness. - dated 2/9/25, to monitor Resident 105 for episodes of depression as evidenced by episodes of tearfulness every shift. Review of Resident 105's H&P examination dated 12/12/24, showed Resident 105 had no capacity to make medical decisions and had a medical history of depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest). Review of Resident 105's MAR for February and March 2025 showed Resident 105 was administered the following: - Celexa medication on 2/1, and from 2/3 to 2/28/25 at 2100 hours; and - Celexa medication from 3/1 to 3/10/25, and 3/13 to 3/31/25 at 2100 hours. Review of Resident 105's Psychotropic Summary Sheet failed to show documentation the behavioral symptoms of depression as manifested by episodes of tearfulness were evaluated for February 2025 to determine the potential for reducing or discontinuing the Celexa medication. On 4/3/25 at 1005 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 4. CNA 4 stated Resident 105 knew her name and the facility, but everyday was different and Resident 105 needed reminders or reorientation from the facility staff. CNA 4 stated Resident 105 was confused, refused care, and was combative at times. CNA 4 stated Resident 105 had not had any episodes of crying or tearfulness during her shifts. On 4/4/25 at 1320 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 105 was conducted with LVN 5.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few included the monitoring of the number of behavior episodes of depression manifested by the resident every shift. The DON stated the behavior summary from the previous month should be done every second or third week of the current month before the GDR meeting which happened every last week of the month. The DON stated it was necessary to complete the behavior data for the psychotropic summary because it helped to identify if there were really behaviors manifested by the resident. The DON further stated the Psychotropic Summary Sheet was a tool that the facility used for the GDR process to determine if the medication's dosage would need to be adjusted, or discontinued. The DON verified the psychotropic summary for the use of the Celexa medication was not completed for the February 2025 for Resident 105. Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sampled residents (two final sampled residents, Residents 95 and 105) reviewed for unnecessary medication were free from the unnecessary psychotropic medication. * The facility failed to obtain Resident 95's informed consent prior to administering the Depakote (mood stabilizer) medication. * The facility failed to evaluate the behavioral symptoms for the use of psychotropic medication for Resident 105. These failures had the potential for the residents to experience adverse effects from the psychotropic medication. Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychoactive/Psychotropic Medication Use revised 5/2024 showed the prescribing clinician will obtain an informed consent from the resident or resident representative prior to administration of a psychotropic medication and will document the consent form in the resident's medical record. The P&P also showed monitoring of the resident receiving psychotropic medication will include evaluation of the effectiveness of the medication, as well as an assessment for possible adverse consequences. The behavioral symptoms are evaluated periodically to determine the potential for reducing or discontinuing the drug based on therapeutic goals, and any adverse effects or possible functional impairment. Medical record review for Resident 95 was initiated on 4/1/25. Resident 95 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 95's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 10/12/24, to administer Depakote 250 mg one tablet by mouth three times a day for bipolar disorder manifested by rapid mood swings. Review of Resident 95's H&P examination dated 10/14/24, showed Resident 95 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
