Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to obtain an informed consent from a resident's responsible
party for one of five sampled residents (Resident 79).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in violating the resident's right to be informed and refuse treatment.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 79's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 79 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic
encephalopathy (damage or disease that affects brain function) and dementia (a progressive state of
decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 79's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/20/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
79 did not have the capacity to understand and make own medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 79's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 5/7/2025,
the MDS indicated had severe cognitive (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make
decisions) impairment, required supervision assistance when eating, required moderate assistance (helper
does less than half the effort) when bathing and dressing, and was dependent (helper does all the effort)
when toileting.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 9:17 a.m. with the Infection Prevention
Nurse (IPN), Resident 79's Vaccine Consent form dated 1/30/2025, and admission Interdisciplinary Team
(IDT - a group of medical professionals from different disciplines who work together to help a resident
achieve their goals) Meeting documents were reviewed. The IPN stated Resident 79 was admitted on
[DATE] and the Vaccine Consent form indicated the IDT gave consent for the pneumococcal (bacteria
causing pneumonia and other respiratory infections) vaccine and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV- a
common respiratory virus) vaccine on 1/30/2025. The admission IDT Meeting dated 1/31/2025 indicated
Resident 79's responsible party was involved in the meeting. The IPN stated when the consent was
obtained on 1/29/2025, the facility did not know Resident 79 had a responsible party.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 at 12:10 p.m. with Social Services (SS),
Resident 79's medical record was reviewed. SS stated Resident 79's hospital referral packet
(documentation received from the hospital prior to admission to the facility) indicated the name and contact
information for Resident 79's responsible party listed under patient information. SS stated the facility only
uses an IDT Consent if a resident does not have capacity and there is no responsible

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the call light device was
within reach for one of six sampled residents (Resident 41).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to prevent Resident 41 from receiving necessary care and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 41 on 5/10/2025 with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the
nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement), diaphragmatic hernia
(birth defect where there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm [muscle separating the chest and
abdomen]), and lack of coordination (ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and
efficiently).
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 5/16/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 41 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and
remember). The MDS indicated Resident 41 required supervision or touching assistance for eating,
substantial/maximal assistance for oral hygiene, personal hygiene, and rolling to both sides and was
dependent for bathing, dressing, and toilet hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 41 had functional
limitations in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of
daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in both arms (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand).
During an observation and interview on 6/24/2025 at 12:40 pm, in the resident's room, Resident 41 was
lying in bed eating from a plate placed on the bedside table to the right of Resident 41's bed. Resident 41
spilled food onto the right side of her upper gown while trying to eat. Resident 41 stated she needed help
cleaning the food off the gown and changing clothing since her gown was dirty. Resident 41 looked around
the bed and was unable to find the call light to ask for assistance. Resident 41's call light cord and device
were laying on the oxygen concentrator machine (machine that supplies oxygen) on the right side of
Resident 41's bed which was located over one foot away from Resident 41's bed. Resident 41 stated she
could not reach the call light and did not know how to call staff for assistance.
During an observation and interview on 6/24/2025 at 12:48 pm, in the resident's room, Certified Nursing
Assistant 6 (CNA 6) confirmed Resident 41's call light was out of reach and Resident 41 would be unable to
call for nursing assistance if needed. CNA 6 stated she placed Resident 41's call light on the oxygen
concentrator machine in the morning while providing nursing care and forgot to place it within Resident 41's
reach when she finished. CNA 6 stated Resident 41's call light should have been clipped to the bed and
resting over Resident 41's right shoulder to ensure the call light was accessible. CNA 6 stated it was
important call lights were always within a resident's reach to ensure the resident would be able to call for
assistance if needed.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:14 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated call lights should always
be accessible and within the resident's reach. The DON stated that if the call light was not within the
resident's reach, the resident would be unable to call for assistance to get his or her needs met.

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medical doctor (MD) was notified when one out
of two residents (Resident 71) had multiple blood sugar levels that were over 400 milligram ([mg]unit of
measure weight])/deciLiter (dl unit of measure of volume) (reference range 70 and 100 mg/dL).
This deficient practice had the potential to cause a delay in treating the elevated blood sugar levels for
Resident 7, and risk transfer to the general acute care hospital (GACH) for treatment of high blood sugar.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 71's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 71 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic kidney disease (a condition where the
kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood effectively, leading to a buildup of waste and excess fluid in
the body), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor
wound healing), depression (mental illness that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest),
and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 71's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 4/4/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 71 was moderately impaired in cognitive (thinking process) skills and required
set up assistance (helper sets up while resident completes the activity) with self-care skills like eating,
required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, and upper body
dressing, required maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with shower/bathe self, lower
body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene, was dependent (helper does all of the
effort) with toileting hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 71 required maximal assistance with mobility
like rolling left and right, sitting to lying position, lying to sitting on side of bed, sitting to stand position, bed
to chair transfer, and was dependent on shower transfers.
During a review of Resident 71's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated Humalog
solution 100 units/milliliter (medication used to treat elevated blood sugars) inject as per sliding scale
(physcian set criterea of how much insulin to administer) : if blood sugar level is 0-150= administer 0 units
of Humalog call MD if blood glucose is less than 70; if blood sugar level is 151-200= administer 2 units; if
blood sugar level is 201-250= administer 4 units; if blood sugar level is 251-300= administer 6 units; if blood
sugar level is 301-350=administer 8 units; if blood sugar level is 351and above = administer 10 units. The
Order Summary Report indicated to call MD immediately for further instruction Resident 71's blood sugar
level is greater than 400, administer subcutaneously (right below first layer of skin tissue), adminster before
meals and at bedtime for sliding scale insulin coverage for diabetes. must take finger stick (test
administered to check blood sugar levels) blood glucose prior to administration, ordered on 7/28/2024.
During a review of Resident 71's comprehensive care plan, initiated on 1/27/2025, the comprehensive care
plan indicated a focus that Resident 71 has a high risk for hypo/hyperglycemia (low or high blood sugar)
related to diagnosis of type 2 DM with a goal that Resident 71 would be free of all signs and symptoms of
hypo-hyperglycemia such as sweating, trembling, thirst, fatigue, weakness, blurred vision through next

During a review of Resident 71's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for April 2025, the MAR
indicated Resident 71 had high blood sugar levels of 422 mg/dl on April 4th at 9 p.m., 451mg/dl on April
16th at 11:30 p.m., 401mg/dl on April 21st at 11:30 p.m., and 437 mg/dl on April 28th at 4:30 p.m
Residents Affected - Few
During a review of Resident 71's Nurse Progress Notes for April 2025, the Nurse Progress Notes did not
indicated that MD was notified of any high blood sugar levels for April 2025.
During a review of Resident 71's medical records for change of condition assessments, Resident 71's
medical records did not indicate there was any change of condition documentation and that the MD was
notified of the high blood sugar levels for April 2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 at 10:35 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator
(MDSC), the MAR for April 2025, the nurse progress notes and change of condition assessment were
reviewed. The MDSC stated if a resident had a high blood sugar level, staff should check the physician's
orders, and give insulin as needed. The MDSC stated staff should be checking vital signs (medical tests to
assess basic body functions) to make sure residents were okay, call the MD, and do the change of
condition assessment. The MDSC stated the staff did not notify the MD of Resident 71's high blood sugar
levels and there was no change of condition documented for the high blood sugar levels even though there
was an order to notify the MD immediately. The MDSC stated Resident 71 would have signs and symptoms
of high blood sugar (such as unquenchable thirst, fatigue, etc) and the diabetes would be uncontrolled if not
treated properly.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 3:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
should be checking blood sugar levels to make sure blood sugars are within normal range and that the MD
should be notified if two consecutive blood sugars were above 250. The DON stated staff should notify the
MD of a change of condition, so the staff knows what to do and how to treat the residents based on what
the MD orders are. The DON stated if the MD was not aware of the high blood sugar levels, the blood
sugars would continue to be high, and the resident may have to be transferred out to the hospital to get
treated for high blood sugar.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P/P) titled, Change in Condition: Notification of,
dated 8/25/2021, indicated the purpose was to ensure residents, family, legal representatives, and
physicians are informed of changes in the resident's condition a facility must immediately inform the
resident, consult with the Resident's physician and/or NP, and notify, consistent with his/her authority,
Resident Representative where there is: 1. A significant change in the Resident's physical, mental, or
psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental or psychosocial status in either life-threatening
conditions or clinical complications). 2. A need to alter treatment significantly (that is, a need to discontinue
or change an existing form of treatment due to adverse consequences, or to commence a new form of
treatment).

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** A. Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of five sampled residents (Resident 38) had
the mental capacity (the ability to make an informed decision based on understanding a situation, the
options available, and the consequences of the decision) to sign an informed consent (permission granted
in the knowledge of the possible consequences, typically that which is given by a patient to a doctor for
treatment with full knowledge of the possible risks and benefits) for his psychotropic (a drug or other
substance that affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or
behavior) medications.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 38 to sign consent for a psychotropic medication
without being aware of the risks and benefits.
B. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident 69's clonazepam (a
controlled medication [medications that the use and possession of are controlled by the federal
government] used to treat anxiety [a medical condition described by feeling of fear or uneasiness]) order
indicated a clinical reason for extending it beyond 14 days, and indicated a specific duration of treatment
and/or stop date for an as needed (PRN) order, affecting one of four residents reviewed for unnecessary
medications.
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 69 at risk for significant adverse consequences
(unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have) from the use of unnecessary
psychotropic drug for an extended period, which could result in impairment or decline in the resident's
mental, physical condition, functional, and psychosocial status.
Findings:
A.During a review of Resident 38's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated
Resident 38 was admitted to the facility 12/17/2024 with diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly) unspecified intellectual disabilities (limitations on
intelligence, learning and everyday abilities necessary to live independently), and cognitive communication
deficit (trouble participating in conversations).
During a review of Resident 38's History and Physical (H&P) dated 12/17/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 38 was incapable of making medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 38's minimum data set (MDS, a minimum data set) dated 3/21/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 38 had severe cognitive impairment (have problems remembering things, concentrating,
making decisions and solving problems) and was taking antipsychotic and antidepressant medications.
During a review of Resident 38's Psychotropic Medication Administration Disclosure (Anti-psychotic (used
to treat psychosis [lose some contact with reality ]) dated 3/18/2025, the Psychotropic Medication
Administration Disclosure indicated Resident 38 signed his own consent for Uzedy (medication used to
treat schizophrenia) subcutaneous (just under the skin) injection 250 milligrams (mg, a unit of
measurement)/ 0.7 milliliters (ml, a unit of measurement) every 60 days for schizophrenia.

During a review of Resident 38's Psychotropic Medication Administration Disclosure (Anti-Depressant
(helps treat depression [persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest])) dated 6/1/2025, the
Psychotropic Medication Administration Disclosure indicated Resident 38 signed his own consent for
Mirtazapine (antidepressant medication) Oral Tablet 15 mg every night at bedtime (QHS) for depression.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:06 p.m., with the Director of Nurses (DON), the DON stated Resident
38 signed his psychotropic informed consents, but he did not have capacity to do so according to Resident
38's H&P. The DON stated informed consents were important to understand because it explained the risks
and benefits of the medication. The DON stated if residents do not have capacity and no family members to
help with decisions, the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of healthcare providers from different fields who
work together to provide the best care or best outcome for a patient) should be signing the consents. The
DON stated the potential outcome of a resident signing an informed consent without capacity made the
consent invalid.
B. During a review of Resident 69's admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic
information), dated 6/26/2025, the admission record indicated, Resident 69 was originally admitted to the

physician orders:
Clonazepam oral tablet 0.5 milligrams ([mg] a unit of measurement for mass), give 0.5 mg by mouth every 8
hours as needed for manifested by (m/b) striking out at staff unprovoked for no apparent reason related to
anxiety disorder, order date 5/1/2025, start date 5/1/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 11:53 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, the order details, dated 5/1/2025 for Resident 69's clonazepam 0.5 mg were reviewed. The order
details for clonazepam 0.5 mg indicated, indefinite for end date and did not indicate any specific duration of
treatment. LVN 1 stated there should have been a discontinuation date or a duration of 14 days for
clonazepam 0.5 mg PRN and for any PRN orders. LVN 1 stated the prescriber should explain the reason if
they needed to continue the PRN psychotropic medication beyond 14 days duration.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (RPH 1), RPH 1

RPH 1 stated there should have been a stop date after the facility decided to restart the medication as a
new order after March 2025. RPH 1 stated she had informed the facility on previous order in March 2025 to
indicate a stop date. RPH 1 stated the order for PRN clonazepam or an anxiolytic (a medication used to
treat anxiety) must have a duration of 60 or up to 90 days per regulations and facility might have their own
policy regarding 60 or 90 days. RPH 1 stated, There was no risk at the time for Resident 69, especially
because facility still had 60 to 90 days. RPH 1 stated, if nobody caught the issue in 90 days, then there was
a potential risk. At this time, in my opinion, there is no risk for the resident, because the resident is receiving
the medication as needed and this resident has other psych issues.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:07 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated there should
have been a stop date for PRN medication orders because the resident should be reevaluated and the
physician must write the reason for continuation. DON stated Resident 69 would be at risk for adverse
effects from the medication such as drowsiness and sedation, would not be able to attend activities or
benefit from the programs offered at the facility. DON stated if the consultant pharmacist failed to identify
this issue during the monthly medication regimen review, it was the facility's responsibility to identify that
Resident 69's clonazepam failed to have a specific duration or discontinuation date beyond 14-day
treatment.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Psychotropic Medication Use, dated
6/2021, the P&P indicated, PRN orders for psychotropic drugs are limited to 14 days. a. For psychotropic
prn medications, excluding antipsychotics, if the attending physician or prescribing practitioner believes it is
appropriate for the PRN order to be extended beyond 14 days, he or she should document their rationale in
the resident's medical record and indicate the duration of the PRN order. The P/P indicated the facility was
to verify informed consent prior to the administration of psychotropic medications.

Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or
bed-hold policies.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a written 7-day bed hold notice for one of two
sampled residents (Resident 87).
This failure had the potential to result in violating Resident 87's right to be informed upon transfer of the
bed-hold period permitting the resident to return to the facility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 87's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 87 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis including end stage renal
disease (ESRD-irreversible kidney failure) with dependence on renal dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the
blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed).
During a review of Resident 87's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/20/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
87 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 87's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 5/27/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 87 was cognitively intact and required supervision when eating and toileting
and required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for showering and dressing.
During a review of Resident 87's census, the census indicated Resident 87 was transferred to the General
Acute Care Hospital (GACH) on 6/13/2025.
During an interview on 6/24/2025 at 3:01 p.m. with the Health Information Manager (HIM), the HIM stated
there is no confirmation of transfer and bed hold provision (notification of bed hold) for the transfer of
Resident 87 on 6/13/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 at 12:47 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 4,
Resident 87's medical record was reviewed. RN 4 stated Resident 87 was transferred to the GACH on
6/13/2025. RN 4 stated there is no documentation indicating Resident 87 received a bed hold notice for
6/13/2025. RN 4 stated when a resident transfers to the GACH, a written bed hold notice is provided to the
resident or responsible party, because it is the resident's right.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:34 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it is the
residents' right to be informed in writing their bed in the facility will be held for 7 days.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Bed-Hold and Returns, dated October
2022, the P&P indicated All residents/representatives are provided written information regarding the facility
and state bed-hold policies, which address holding or reserving a resident's bed during periods of absence
(hospitalization or therapeutic leave). Residents, regardless of payer source, are provided with written
notice about these policies at least twice:

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately document the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
resident assessment tool) for three of 12 sampled residents by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
a. Ensure Resident 87's hemodialysis status was reflected on the MDS.
b. Ensure Resident 111's accurate discharge destination was documented.
c. Ensure the accuracy of information in the MDS assessment for one of three sampled residents (Resident
32) who was on oxygen therapy.
This failure had the potential to negatively affect resident's plan of care and delivery of necessary care and
services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 87's admission record , the admission record indicated Resident 87 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis including end stage
renal disease (ESRD-irreversible kidney failure) with dependence on renal dialysis (a treatment to cleanse
the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed).

During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 3:46 p.m. with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 87's medical record was reviewed. The MDSC stated the MDS dated [DATE]
did not indicate that Resident 87 was receiving dialysis. The MDSC stated Resident 87 receives
hemodialysis and the MDS should have reflected it. The MDSC stated it was a miscoding on our part. The
MDS stated it is important that the MDS reflects the resident's status at the time to ensure proper care
planning for the resident.
b. During a review of Resident 111's admission record , the admission record indicated Resident 111 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including aortic dissection (a tear in the inner layer of the
aorta [larges vessel that delivers blood form the heart to the rest of the body]) and nontraumatic
subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in space around the brain that is not caused by an injury).

c. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 32 was
originally admitted on [DATE] with a re-admission date of 12/13/2019 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's
disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), major depressive disorder (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), hypertension (HTN-high
blood pressure), and psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected
that contact is lost with reality.
During a review of Resident 32's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 32 was rarely or never
understood so the brief interview for mental status could not be conducted and was dependent (helper
does all of the effort to complete the task) on self-care abilities like eating, oral hygiene, toileting and
personal hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear.
The MDS also indicated Resident 32 was dependent on mobility functions like rolling left and right, bed to
chair transfers, and shower transfers. The MDS also indicated Resident 32 did not require oxygen therapy
and did not need suctioning.
During a review of Resident 23's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated oxygen:
oxygen at 1-5 liters/minutes ([L/min], unit of measurement) via nasal cannula (a medical device used to
deliver oxygen through the nose) as needed for shortness of breath or wheezing (breathing with a whistling
or rattling sound in the chest) every shift ordered on 1/17/2025. The Order Summary Report also indicated
suction, oral as needed, secretions with tonsillar/yankauer (a medical device designed to suction fluids,

with eyes closed. Resident 32 did not open their eyes when surveyor greeted the resident. Resident 32 was
on 3.5 L of oxygen with breathing treatments and suctioning equipment at the bedside for use in which it
was being utilized.
During an interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 3:17 p.m., with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the
MDS dated [DATE] and Order Summary Report were reviewed. The MDSC stated that Resident 32 was on
oxygen therapy according to the Order Summary Report. MDSC stated the MDS assessment for Resident
32 should have been coded yes for oxygen therapy use and suctioning use. MDSC stated if the MDS
assessment was not coded correctly, the MDS assessment does not represent the care provided for the
residents here at the facility.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 3:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
importance of coding MDS assessment correctly for residents was the MDS was a representation of the
care the resident's required and recieved at the facility and the type of care they need. DON

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement care plans for two of six sampled
residents (Resident 60, Resident 67) when:
a. The facility failed to ensure a care plan for Divalproex (medication to treat outbursts of aggression related
to dementia and other behavioral disturbances) was developed and implemented for one of four sampled
residents (Resident 60).
This deficient practice placed Resident 60 at risk for physical harm and injury and had the potential to delay
necessary monitoring and safety interventions.
b. Resident 67 did not have a care plan in place for his use of Quetiapine Fumarate (Seroquel, medication
used to treat psychosis [a mental state characterized by a loss of contact with reality]).
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 60, Resident 67 to not receive personalized care.
Findings:
a.During a review of Resident 60's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 60 on 12/27/2022 and was re-admitted on [DATE], with a diagnoses including dementia
(progressive state of decline of mental abilities), depression (a mental health condition characterized by
persistent sadness and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities) and anxiety disorder (characterized by
feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an event or something with an uncertain
outcome).
During a review of Resident 60's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 4/4/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 60's cognition (ability to think, remember, and reason) was moderately
impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 60 required minimal (helper sets up or cleans up; resident
completes activity) assistance from staff for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs- activities such as bathing,
dressing and toileting a person performs daily).
During a review of Resident 60's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/11/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
60 was unable make own decisions but can make needs known.
During a review of Resident 60's physician order dated 10/23/2025, the physician order indicated an order
for Divalproex oral tablet 250 milligrams ([mg]- metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage
and/or amount) by mouth three times a day for sudden angry outburst related to unspecified dementia with
other behavior disturbances.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 3:09 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 4, Resident 60's care plans were reviewed. LVN 4 stated each resident needed to have care plans in
place to be able to properly care and assess each resident. LVN 4 was uncare plan for Divalproex within
Resident 60's chart. LVN 4 stated having a care plan for Divalproex was important to monitor parameters,
potential side effects and have the appropriate interventions in place.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 at 12:26 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated care plans are required for the entire care of the residents while at the facility. The
DON care plans are required for every diagnosis a resident might have, and medications are incorporated
into the care plans. The DON stated a care plan was needed for Divalproex to be able to appropriately
monitor Resident 60 for any side effects or behavior changes while on Divalproex. DON stated without a
care plan for Divalproex, Resident 60 cannot be monitored for potential side effects properly.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Planning- Interdisciplinary Team,
dated 8/25/2021, the P&P indicated Our facility's Interdisciplinary Team is responsible for the development
of an individualized comprehensive care plan for each resident .2. The care plan is based on the resident's
comprehensive assessment and is developed by an Interdisciplinary Team which includes but is not
necessarily limited to the following personnel .b. A Registered nurse with responsibility for the resident .h.

b. During a review of Resident 67's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 67 was
admitted to the facility 5/18/2025 with diagnoses of bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes dramatic
shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to think clearly) and restlessness and agitation.
During a review of Resident 67's minimum data set (MDS, a minimum data set) dated 5/24/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 67 had severe cognitive impairment (have problems remembering things, concentrating,
making decisions and solving problems) and was taking antipsychotic medications.
During a review of Resident 67's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated an order
was placed 6/14/2025 for Quetiapine Fumarate Oral Tablet 25 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), give
one tablet two times a day for bipolar disorder manifested by (m/b) disorganized thought process.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 67's care plans on 6/26/2025 at 2:26 p.m., with
the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 67 did not have a care plan for the use of
Seroquel but should have one because he was taking the medication. The DON stated care plans for
antipsychotic medication were important so the facility could monitor side effects of the medication and to
check if interventions were effective.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Care Plan Comprehensive dated
8/25/2021, the P/P indicated each resident's comprehensive care plan was designed to incorporate
identified problem areas, and reflect treatment goals, timetables, and objectives in measurable outcomes.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
1 did not crush delayed release ([DR] medication released over an extended time) divalproex (a medication
used to treat seizure [a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause
uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness]) and did not administer crushed divalproex
delayed release and crushed lorazepam (a controlled medication [medications that the use and possession
of are controlled by the federal government] used to treat anxiety [a medical condition described by feeling
of fear or uneasiness]) together for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) during medication
administration observation.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 2 at risk for drug interactions (occur when two or
more drugs taken simultaneously affect each other's actions in the body) or intolerability to one or more
medications without possibly knowing which medication caused intolerability.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record dated 6/24/2025, the admission Record indicated
Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including, but not limited to, dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing) oral phase.
During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical, dated 6/19/2025, the document indicated Resident 2
was unable to make medical decisions for herself but could make needs known.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 3/24/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent on the facility staff for performing activities of daily living
(ADLs - routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for

During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/24/2025 at 8:38 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, LVN 1 prepared the following two medications for Resident 2.
1. One tablet of lorazepam 0.5 milligrams ([mg] a unit of measurement for mass)
2. One tablet of divalproex sodium DR 125 mg
LVN 1 stated she would need to crush both medications for the resident. LVN 1 was observed crushing
divalproex DR and lorazepam separately using a crushing device. LVN 1 then mixed the powders of
divalproex DR and lorazepam together in one cup and administered with applesauce to Resident 2.

During a review of Resident 2's Speech Therapy Treatment Encounter Note(s), dated 5/14/2025, the
document indicated, Precautions: soft bite size textures; aspiration/penetration risk. Patient has met
baseline function given tolerance of soft bite size diet across consecutive sessions and will not be
discharged from ST services. Current Diet = Mechanical Soft textures, Current Liquids = Thin liquids.
During an interview on 6/24/2025 at 2:41 p.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated she realized right after she was
questioned about the crushing that it was not supposed to be crushed. LVN 1 stated the medications should
have been given separately to be able to differentiate medications if Resident 2 did not tolerate one of the
medications. LVN 1 stated divalproex was a delayed release tablet and should not have been crushed. LVN
1 stated the medication would not be as effective for the resident's condition and had the possibility to
cause throat irritation.
During an interview on 6/25/2025 at 3:14 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Resident 2
should have received divalproex delayed release and lorazepam tablets as whole tablets. DON stated it was
not safe to crush delayed release divalproex and Resident 2 should have been able to swallow this
medication because she was sitting upright. DON stated the two different crushed medications should not
have been given together because of possible drug interactions. DON stated if the resident did not tolerate
one of the medications, and they were given together, facility would not have known which medication was
not tolerated by the resident.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Appendix 5: Medication Crushing
Guidelines, undated, the P&P indicated, Timed Release Tablets are designed to release medication over a
sustained period, usually 8 to 24 hours. These formulations are utilized to reduce stomach irritation in some
cases and to achieve prolonged medication action in other cases. In either case these tablets should not be
crushed.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Administering Medications, undated, the P&P indicated,
Medications are administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. The P&P indicated, If a
dosage is believed to be inappropriate or excessive for a resident, or a medication has been identified the
person preparing or administering the medication will contact the prescriber discuss the concerns. The
individual administering the medication checks the label three (3) times to verify the right resident, right
medication, right dosage, right time before giving the medication.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure:
Residents Affected - Few
A. One of six sampled residents (Resident 41) was sitting upright when eating lunch.
This deficient practice placed Resident 41 at risk for aspiration (inhaling small particles of food or drops of
liquid into the lungs) and choking.
B. Two of three residents (Resident 45) were transferred by two persons in a mechanical lift ( a mechanical
device used to safely transfer individuals who have limited mobility from one place to another ).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 45 falling from the mechanical lift and causing
injury.
Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 41's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 41 on 5/10/2025 with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the
nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement), diaphragmatic hernia
(birth defect where there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm [muscle separating the chest and
abdomen]), and lack of coordination (ability to use different parts of the body together smoothly and
efficiently).
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 5/16/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 41 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and
remember). The MDS indicated Resident 41 required supervision or touching assistance for eating,
substantial/maximal assistance for oral hygiene, personal hygiene, and rolling to both sides and was
dependent for bathing, dressing, and toilet hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 41 had functional
limitations in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of
daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in both arms (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2025 at 12:29 pm, in the resident's room, Resident
41 was lying in bed. Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6) walked into Resident 41's room, placed a lunch
tray on Resident 41's bedside table, angled the table toward Resident 41's bed, asked Resident 41 if she
could reach the food, and left the room. Resident 41's body was positioned low in the bed with the upper
body slouched forward. The head of Resident 41's bed was slightly elevated to less than 30 degrees. While
lying in bed, Resident 41 drank water and ate a hashbrown from the plate and coughed. Resident 41 stated
she was uncomfortable and tried to elevate the head of bed using the bed control but was unable since
Resident 41's body was positioned very low in the bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2025 at 12:35 pm, CNA 6 confirmed Resident 41
was eating lunch laying down with the head of bed slightly elevated. CNA 6 confirmed she saw Resident 41
laying down before dropping off the lunch tray and did not ask Resident 41 if she wanted to be repositioned
into an upright position. CNA 6 stated Resident 41 should be seated in an upright

position and should not be laying down with the head of bed slightly elevated while eating because she
could choke.
During a telephone interview on 6/25/2025 at 2:54 pm, the Speech Therapist 1 (ST 1) stated residents
should always be seated upright while eating. ST 1 stated the ideal and recommended body position for
eating was the upper body fully upright with the head of bed at a 90-degree angle and no slouching to
minimize the risk of aspiration and choking. ST 1 stated eating while laying down could potentially cause
choking and aspiration.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:14 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated all residents should be
seated upright while eating to prevent choking and aspiration.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled Preparing and Positioning a Resident for a
Meal, revised 9/2010, the P/P indicated residents whose meals were served in bed should be properly
positioned by using wedges and pillows to achieve an upright position.
B.During a review of Resident 45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 45 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified atrial fibrillation (an irregular
heartbeat present but the type is not specified ), contracture of muscle, multiple sites ( several of the
muscles became permanently tight and shortened restricting movements of joints), and abnormal posture.
During a review of Resident 45's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 45's cognitive (the mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses)
skills were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 45 was dependent on eating, chair/bed to chair
transfer, lying to sitting on side of bed, sitting to lying, upper and lower body dressing and oral hygiene.
During review of Resident 45's care plan (CP) initiated on 4/18/2024, the CP indicated Resident 45 has
functional limitation in range of motion (a reduced ability to move a joint through its normal range) Bilateral
(both) Upper Extremities (BUE both arms , shoulders, elbows and hands) impaired and Bilateral Lower
Eextremities ( both legs from the hips down to the feet ) impaired with interventions for chair / bed to chair
transfer- dependent assist using mechanical lift transfer with 2 person assist.
During an observation on 6/23/2025 at 2:06 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 4) lift Resident 45 from
her bed with the mechanical lift transferred her to the wheelchair then Resident 45 was placed in the
activity room .
During an interview on 6/23/2025 at 2:18 p.m., with CNA 4, CNA 4 stated she thought I could handle
transferring Resident 45 as I have done before when nurses are busy. CNA 4 stated the reason we are to
transfer a resident using two people, is because the resident can fall from the mechanical lift and have a
seizure. CNA stated there was an incident before where a resident fell from a mechanical lift.
During an interview on 6/23/2025 at 2:30 p.m., with CNA 5 , CNA 5 stated when using a mechanical lift,
every time there needs to be two people transferring the resident to prevent accidents.

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to perform a trauma informed care assessment for
one of two sampled residents (Resident 64) who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,
a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 64 to experience triggers (memories tied to the
traumatic event) in the facility and had the potential for re-traumatization (the experience where past
traumatic memories are triggered, leading to further physical and psychological harm, often due to
inadequate care or inappropriate situations).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 64's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated Resident
64 was admitted to the facility 12/6/2023 with diagnosis including PTSD and dementia (a condition
characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning).
During a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a minimum data set) dated 5/22/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 64 had severe cognitive impairment (have problems remembering things, concentrating,
making decisions and solving problems) and was diagnosed with PTSD.
During an interview and concurrent record review of Resident 64's Trauma Assessment on 6/26/2025 at
12:59 p.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated the trauma assessment was usually
done upon admission to assess the residents for any trauma with a diagnosis of PTSD. The SSD stated she
reviewed the Trauma assessment dated 12/2023 and it was not done due to Resident 64 declining to
answer. The SSD stated if Resident 64 declined the assessment, they should retry the assessment later.
The SSD stated she reviewed Resident 64's chart and there was no reassessment done. The SSD stated
the Trauma Assessment was not completed for Resident 64, so the facility does not know Resident 64's
triggers for his PTSD. The SSD stated the Trauma Assessment was important because it identified the
residents' triggers if they have PTSD and to help the residents feel safe and keep them from known
triggers.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Trauma Informed Care dated 8/20/2023,
the P/P indicated it was the policy of the facility to provide care and services which, in addition to meeting
professional standards, are delivered using approaches which are culturally competent, and trauma
informed, taking into account experiences and Resident preferences. The P/P indicated the facility would
address the needs of trauma survivors by eliminating and/or minimizing triggers that might result in
re-traumatization. The facility will identify triggers which may re-traumatize residents with a history of
trauma. Trigger-specific interventions will identify ways to decrease the resident's exposure to triggers which
re-traumatize the resident, as well as identify ways to mitigate or decrease the effect of the trigger on the
resident and will be added to the resident's care plan.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Ensure hydrocodone-acetaminophen (a controlled medication [medications that the use and possession
of are controlled by the federal government] in combination with acetaminophen [a medication used to treat
pain] used to relieve pain) was administered to Resident 12 only for the prescribed severe pain level and as
per physician orders, affecting one of three sampled residents during medication administration (Resident
12).
2. Maintain accurate documentation of lorazepam (a controlled medication used to treat anxiety [a medical
condition described by feeling of fear or uneasiness]) oral solution on accountability record or controlled
medication count sheet/controlled drug record ([CDR] - a document indicating perpetual inventory and
administration of controlled substances, as per facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Controlled
Medications, dated 4/2008, affecting one resident (Resident 32) in one of three inspected medication carts
(Medication Cart 1B).
3. Ensure disposal of discarded medications in an irretrievable, safe and secure manner, as per P&P titled,
Medication Destruction, dated 1/2025 and Discontinued Medications, dated 1/2025, affecting two of three
inspected medication carts (Medication Cart 1B and Station 3 Medication Cart).
These deficient practices failed to provide medications in accordance with the physician orders or
professional standards of practice, maintain accurate documentation of controlled medications, and had the
potential risk for drug overdose, drug misuse, accidental exposure, hospitalization, and/or potential
diversion of prescription medications.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 12's admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic
information), dated 6/24/2025, the admission record indicated, Resident 12 was admitted to facility on
12/17/2018 with diagnoses including but not limited to, primary generalized arthritis (a chronic disease
causing inflammation in the joints resulting in pain), low back pain, migraine (a neurological condition that
can cause severe, throbbing headaches), not intractable, without status migrainosus (a term used for
severe and prolonged migraine attack that lasts for more than 72 hours) and chronic pain syndrome.
During a review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 3/19/2025,
the MDS indicated, Resident 12's cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought and senses) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 12 needed setup or
clean-up assistance from the facility staff for performing activities of daily living (ADLs - routine
tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) such
as eating, and was dependent on facility staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, upper and
lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 6/24/2025 at 8:57 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 prepared
and administered 13 medications to Resident 12 including hydrocodone-acetaminophen.

mg, give 1 capsule by mouth every 12 hours as needed for 7 moderate pain (5-7) NTE (3 gm/6 tabs) in 24
hours from all APAP sources, order date 6/18/2025, start date 6/18/2025.
During a review of Resident 12's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation record
used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident), dated 6/1/2025 to
6/30/2025, 5/1/2025 to 5/31/2025 and 4/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, the MAR indicated there were 15 times when
the facility administered hydrocodone-acetaminophen to Resident 12 outside of the prescribed pain
parameters.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/24/2025 at 2:45 p.m. with LVN 1, the Resident 12's
MAR for June 2025 was reviewed. The June 2025 MAR indicated there were five times when resident was
given hydrocodone-acetaminophen outside of pain parameters for severe pain level. LVN 1 stated Norco
(generic name: hydrocodone-acetaminophen) was supposed to be for severe pain as needed, pain level of
8-10 and the resident's pain level was at 6, and 6 was considered to be moderate pain. LVN 1 stated it was
important to follow physician orders as per pain level and she should have clarified with physician if they
needed to change orders due to resident's complaint of severe pain after therapy. LVN 1 stated Resident 12
would be at increased risk for dependency, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sedation, breathing difficulty due to
not following physician orders.
During an interview on 6/25/2025 at 3:14 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident
12 should not have received the hydrocodone-acetaminophen for pain level of 6 because it was prescribed
for severe pain. DON stated that nurses should look at the physician orders to determine which pain
medication should be given for the pain level that resident was experiencing. DON stated the resident was
at increased risk for side effects of constipation, dependency, drowsiness, and receiving unnecessary
medication.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility and consultant pharmacist (a professional responsible for reviewing
each resident's medication profile monthly to identify and report changes) failed to identify that Resident
69's clonazepam (a controlled medication [medications that the use and possession of are controlled by the
federal government] used to treat anxiety [a medical condition described by feeling of fear or uneasiness])
did not indicate a specific duration of treatment and did not indicate a stop date, affecting one of four
sampled residents for unnecessary medications (Resident 69).
The deficient practice of failing to identify and report irregularities resulted in Resident 69 receiving
clonazepam unnecessarily without a specific duration of treatment possibly resulting in medication side
effects (a secondary, typically undesirable effect of a drug or medical treatment) and leading to a decrease
in resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 69's admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic
information), dated 6/26/2025, the admission record indicated, Resident 69 was originally admitted to the
facility 5/30/2024 and then readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to unspecified
dementia (progressive state of decline in mental abilities) - unspecified severity without behavioral
disturbance, psychotic disturbance or mood disturbance and anxiety, anxiety disorder and depression.
During a review of Resident 69's History and Physical, dated 5/27/2025, the document indicated Resident
69 was not capable of making medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 69's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 5/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 69 needed supervision level assistance from facility
staff for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating, maximal assistance for oral hygiene and dependent
for toileting hygiene, showering, upper and lower body dressing, putting on or taking off footwear and
personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 69's Order Summary Report (a document containing a summary of all active
physician orders), dated 6/26/2025, the order summary report indicated but not limited to the following
physician orders:
Clonazepam oral tablet 0.5 milligrams ([mg] a unit of measurement for mass), give 0.5 mg by mouth every 8
hours as needed for manifested by (m/b) striking out at staff unprovoked for no apparent reason related to
anxiety disorder, order date 5/1/2025, start date 5/1/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 11:53 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, the order details, dated 5/1/2025 for Resident 69's clonazepam 0.5 mg were reviewed. The order
details for clonazepam 0.5 mg indicated, indefinite for end date and did not indicate any specific duration of
treatment. LVN 1 stated there should have been a discontinuation date or a duration of 14 days for
clonazepam 0.5 mg PRN and for any PRN orders. LVN 1 stated the prescriber should explain the reason if
they needed to continue the PRN psychotropic medication beyond 14 days duration.

During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (RPH 1), RPH 1
stated Resident 69's clonazepam 0.5 mg did not have a stop date which was started on 5/1/2025. RPH 1
stated there should have been a stop date after the facility decided to restart the medication as a new order
after March 2025. RPH 1 stated she had informed the facility on previous order in March 2025 to indicate a
stop date. RPH 1 stated the order for PRN clonazepam or an anxiolytic (a medication used to treat anxiety)
must have a duration of 60 or up to 90 days per regulations and facility might have their own policy
regarding 60 or 90 days. RPH 1 stated, There was no risk at the time for Resident 69, especially because
facility still had 60 to 90 days. RPH 1 stated, if nobody caught the issue in 90 days, then there was a
potential risk. At this time, in my opinion, there is no risk for the resident, because the resident is receiving
the medication as needed and this resident has other psych issues.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:07 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated there should
have been a stop date for PRN medication orders because the resident should be reevaluated and the
physician must write the reason for continuation. DON stated Resident 69 would be at risk for adverse
effects from the medication such as drowsiness and sedation, would not be able to attend activities or
benefit from the programs offered at the facility. DON stated if the consultant pharmacist failed to identify
this issue during the monthly medication regimen review, it was the facility's responsibility to identify that
Resident 69's clonazepam failed to have a specific duration or discontinuation date beyond 14-day
treatment.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Medication Regimen Review (Monthly
Report), dated 6/2021, the P&P indicated, The consultant pharmacist performs a comprehensive
medication regimen review (MRR) at least monthly. The MRR includes evaluating the resident's response to
medication therapy to determine that the resident maintains the highest practicable level of functioning and
prevents or minimizes adverse consequences related to medication therapy. The P&P indicated, Resident
specific irregularities and/or clinically significant risks resulting from and associated with medications are
documented and reported to the Director of Nursing and/or prescriber as 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, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medication administration and
adequate monitoring of side effects for one of two sample residents (Resident 53) who was receiving an
anticoagulant (a medication used to prevent and treat blood clots that can cause severe health issues in the
blood vessels and the heart) medication and were at high risk for bleeding.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause a delay in necessary care and services resulting in injury
or death.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 53's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 53 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation ([a-fib], a type of heartbeat
where the heart beats fast and irregularly), diabetes mellitus ([DM]-a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a

lower body dressing, and putting on and taking off footwear. The MDS also indicated Resident 53 required
moderate assistance with mobility like rolling left and right, sitting to lying position, lying to sitting on side of
the bed, sitting to stand position, walking 10 to 50 feet, and was maximal assistance with bed to chair
transfers, toileting transfers, and shower transfers.
During a review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated Eliquis:
monitor for discolored urine, black tarry stools, sudden severe headache, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea,
muscle joint pain, lethargy, bruising, sudden changes in mental status and or vital signs, shortness of
breath, nose bleeds-document N if monitored and one of the above was observed. Y if monitored and
observed notify medical doctor every shift for the use of Eliquis notify medical doctor if any signs or
symptoms is present ordered on 8/21/2024.
During a review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated Eliquis oral
tablet (pill) 5 milligrams ([mg], a unit of measurement) (apixaban) give one tablet by mouth two times day for
a-fib hold for signs of bleeding ordered on 5/19/2023.
During a review of Resident 53's comprehensive care plan dated 5/19/23, the comprehensive care plan
indicated Resident 53 had arrhythmia a-fib on Eliquis with goals to remain in normal sinus rhythm with
interventions to monitor for discolored urine, black tarry stools, sudden severe headache, nausea and

During a review of Resident 53's electronic medication administration records ([MAR], a legal document
that provides a comprehensive account of all medications administered to a patient) for May 2025, the MAR
indicated Eliquis oral tablet five milligrams (apixaban) give one tablet by mouth two times day for a-fib hold
for signs of bleeding start date 5/19/2023. The medication was given twice a day at 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
from 5/1/2025 to 5/31/25 but there was no documentation on 5/22/2025 that it was given. The MAR also
indicated Eliquis: monitor for discolored urine, black tarry stools, sudden severe headache, nausea and
vomiting, diarrhea, muscle joint pain, lethargy, bruising, sudden changes in mental status and or vital signs,
shortness of breath, nose bleeds-document N if monitored and one of the above was observed. Y if
monitored and observed notify medical doctor every shift for the use of Eliquis notify medical doctor if any
signs or symptoms is present started on 8/21/2024. The monitoring was done three times a day for day,
evening and night shift but there was no documentation on 5/22/2025 for day shift that resident was
monitored.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 1:02 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 4, RN 4 stated it was important
to monitor residents who are on blood thinners to make sure residents do not have bleeding or bruising
issues (as a side effect of the Elequis). The RN 4 stated staff should be following the medical doctor's
orders when the orders ask to administer the medication and monitor signs or symptoms of bleeding. RN 4
stated staff should be receiving the medication daily as ordered and monitored daily as ordered. RN 4
stated if the documentation was left blank, then the medication was not given, and monitoring was not
done. RN 4 stated residents can bleed out when given blood thinners so they should be monitored daily
every shift.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 3: 30 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
importance of staff following the medical doctor's orders and administering medication as ordered was that
it was a part of the medication regimen to stabilize the residents while in the facility and residents should be
getting their medication daily as ordered. The DON stated the importance of administering blood thinners
and monitoring the residents on blood thinners was because the residents are high risk for bleeding, and
monitoring should be done daily every shift. DON stated if residents are not monitored daily every shift, it
can affect their health and residents can bleed out.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Physician Orders, dated 3/22/2022, indicated,
whenever possible, the Licensed Nurse receiving the order will be responsible for documenting and
implementing the order. Medication/treatment orders will be transcribed onto the appropriate resident
administration record .supplies/medications required to carry out the physician order will be ordered
documentation pertaining to physician orders will be maintained in the resident's medical record.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than
5% (percent) during medication pass for two of three sampled residents (Residents 2 and 12) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Ensure Resident 2's divalproex (a medication used to treat seizure [a sudden, uncontrolled electrical
disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness])
delayed release ([DR] medication released over an extended time) was not crushed.
2. Ensure Resident 2's crushed divalproex delayed release tablet and crushed lorazepam (a controlled
medication [medications that the use and possession of are controlled by the federal government] used to
treat anxiety [a medical condition described by feeling of fear or uneasiness]) tablet were administered
separately.
3. Ensure Resident 12's hydrocodone-acetaminophen (a controlled medication [medications that the use
and possession of are controlled by the federal government] in combination with acetaminophen [a
medication used to relieve pain] used to relieve pain) was administered to Resident 12 only for the
prescribed severe pain level and as per physician orders.
These deficient practices of medication administration error rate of 11.11% exceeded the five (5) percent
threshold.
Findings:
1 and 2. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (a document containing demographic and
diagnostic information), dated 6/24/2025, Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis

During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical, dated 6/19/2025, the document indicated Resident 2
was unable to make medical decisions for herself but could make needs known.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 3/24/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent on the facility staff for performing activities of daily living
(ADLs - routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for
themselves) such as eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, upper and lower body dressing,
putting on or taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/24/2025 at 8:38 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, LVN 1 prepared the following two medications for Resident 2.
1. One tablet of lorazepam 0.5 milligrams ([mg] a unit of measurement for mass)
2. One tablet of divalproex sodium DR 125 mg
LVN 1 stated she would need to crush both medications for the resident. LVN 1 was observed crushing
divalproex DR and lorazepam separately using a crushing device. LVN 1 then mixed the crushed divalproex
DR and lorazepam together in a cup and administered the mixture with applesauce to Resident 2.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 12) was free from significant medication error during medication administration, by
failing to ensure hydrocodone-acetaminophen (a controlled medication [medications that the use and
possession of are controlled by the federal government] in combination with acetaminophen [a medication
used to treat pain] used to relieve pain) was administered to Resident 12 only for the prescribed severe
pain, on the pain level scale (a tool used to measure the intensity of pain 1-4 mild pain, 5-7 moderate pain,
6-10 severe pain) and as per physician orders.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice failed to provide hydrocodone-acetaminophen in accordance with physician orders or
professional standards of practice and had the potential to result in drug overdose, drug misuse and
hospitalization.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 12's admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic
information), dated 6/24/2025, the admission record indicated, Resident 12 was admitted to facility on
12/17/2018 with diagnoses including but not limited to, primary generalized arthritis (a chronic disease
causing inflammation in the joints resulting in pain), low back pain, migraine (a neurological condition that
can cause severe, throbbing headaches), not intractable, without status migrainosus (a term used for
severe and prolonged migraine attack that lasts for more than 72 hours) and chronic pain syndrome.
During a review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 3/19/2025,
the MDS indicated, Resident 12's cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought and senses) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 12 needed setup or
clean-up assistance from the facility staff for performing activities of daily living (ADLs - routine
tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves) such
as eating, and was dependent on facility staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering, upper and
lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 6/24/2025 at 8:57 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 prepared
and administered the following 13 medications to Resident 12.
1. One puff of Advair (a medication used to treat breathing difficulty) 250 micrograms ([mcg] a unit of
measurement for mass)/50 mcg
2. One tablet of hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg
3. One tablet of meclizine (a medication used to treat dizziness) 12.5 mg
4. One tablet of baclofen (a medication used to treat muscle spasms) 10 mg
5. One tablet of famotidine (a medication used to treat acid-reflux) 20 mg
6. One capsule of gabapentin (a medication used to treat neuropathy [a condition resulting from nerve
damage])100 mg

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure to store food in a sanitary
manner to prevent growth of microorganisms that could cause food borne illness (food poisoning: any
illness resulting from the food spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that
contaminate food, as well as toxins for residents who eat food from the kitchen by not:
1.Checking the chemical sanitation of the dish washer and documenting the results.
2.Ensuring to store food with label and open date.
3.Ensure facility staff was not wearing jewelry while preparing pudding.
These deficient practices had the potential for facility residents' exposure to pathogens (germ) and placed
residents at risk for developing foodborne illness (food poisoning) with symptoms including upset stomach,
stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever and can lead to other serious medical complications
and hospitalization.
Findings :
During an initial tour observation interview and record review of the kitchen on 6/23/2025 at 08:20 a.m.,
with the Dietary [NAME] (DC) , in the refrigerator next to the back door there was one 46 fluid ounce (Fl ozunit of measurement ) of Sysco Imperial thickened apple juice from concentrate with on open date , one
cup of prepared applesauce with no date, and five small prepared containers of cottage cheese with no
date.

container of white beans without a date.
During an interview on 6/23/2025 at 08:30 a.m., with the DC, DC agreed that the containers of apple sauce,
carton of apple juice, and cottage cheese should have been dated when it was prepared . DC stated the
large container of beans should have a date when opened. DC stated the importance of dating opened and
prepared foods is so we can know when to throw it out.
During an observation, interview DW stated the sanitation of the dishwasher is checked before washing the
breakfast dishes , before lunch time and before dinner. During a record review of the Dishwasher

she forgot to check and record the sanitation of the dishwasher and record the sanitation fluid. The DW
stated it is important to check the sanitation of dishwasher to make sure the dishes are properly disinfected
to prevent residents from getting sick.
During an interview on 6/24/2025 at 08:40 a.m., with the DS, the DS stated the container of apple juice ,
cup of apple sauce should have an open date. The DS stated the five cups of cottage cheese should have a
prepared date and a use by date to keep track of it, he stated because it is a dairy product when it is open
the quality of the cottage cheese is susceptible to spoilage. The DS stated the white dried beans have a
shelf life of 1 year and needs a date and use by date.

despite physician's orders for a formal ST evaluation. ST 1 stated the ST evaluation was a comprehensive
assessment of the resident's ST needs which included a physical, hands-on assessment of eating and
trialing different food textures with the goal of advancing the resident to the safest and most appropriate
diet. ST 1 stated a Rehab Screen, and an ST evaluation were different.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2025 at 11:36 a.m., with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 41's clinical records were reviewed. The DOR stated ST services were

Rehab Screen, which was generally a brief, hands-off screen that involved a review of the resident's
medical records and history, observation of the resident, and interviews to determine if a formal rehab
evaluation was warranted. The DOR stated a skilled rehab evaluation was a comprehensive, physical
assessment of the resident which varied in content depending on the discipline (PT, OT, or ST). The DOR
stated a Rehab Screen and a skilled rehab evaluation were different. The DOR reviewed Resident 41's
clinical record and confirmed Resident 41 had a physician's order for an ST evaluation on 5/10/2025. The
DOR confirmed ST conducted a Rehab Screen for Resident 41 on 5/12/2025 and did not complete an ST
evaluation as ordered by the physician. The DOR stated if an ST evaluation was ordered by the physician,
an ST evaluation should have been done but was not. The DOR stated it was important physician's orders

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure;
Residents Affected - Few
a. The medical record for one of six sampled residents (Resident 71) was accurate by failing to ensure the
physician's orders for Resident 71's right leg weight bearing restrictions were accurately documented.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively impact the provision of necessary care and services,
cause miscommunication among staff, and cause a decline in range of motion (ROM, full movement
potential of a joint), mobility, and overall function.
b. Restorative Nursing Aide ([RNA], nursing aide program that help residents maintain any progress made
after therapy intervention to maintain their function) services provided were accurately documented for one
of three sampled residents (Resident 48).
These deficient practices had the potential to negatively impact the provision of necessary care and
services and portray an inaccurate reflection of services provided.
Findings:
a.During a review of Resident 71's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 71 on 12/21/2022 with diagnoses including a displaced fracture (break in the bone where the
bone fragments are no longer aligned and have moved out of their normal position) of the right femur (thigh
bone), unspecified right hip injury, and abnormal gait (manner of walking).
During a review of Resident 71's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order, dated 12/27/2024, for Resident 71's right leg to be weightbearing as tolerated (WBAT, a
person is medically cleared to place as much weight through the affected arm or leg to the point of comfort
or tolerance).
During a review of Resident 71's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order, dated 2/13/2025, for Resident 71's right leg to be non-weight bearing (NWB, restriction in
which a person is not allowed to put any weight through the operated body part).
During a review of Resident 71's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 3/28/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 115 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, understand, learn, and
remember). The MDS indicated Resident 71 required set-up or clean up assistance for eating,
partial/moderate assistance for oral hygiene and upper body dressing, substantial/maximal assistance for
bathing, lower body dressing, personal hygiene, rolling to both sides, and transfers and was dependent in
tub/shower transfers and toileting hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2025 at 1:51 p.m., in Resident 71's room, Resident
71 was lying in bed with both legs straight and a heel protector (boot-like device used to relieve pressure on
the heel and prevent pressure ulcers in persons who have limited mobility) on the right foot. Resident 71
moved both ankles up and down minimally and stated he was instructed to put weight through both legs
when walking.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 1:27 p.m., with Registered Nurse 4 (RN
4), Resident 17's physician's orders dated 12/27/2024 and 2/13/2025 were reviewed. RN 4 stated he was
unsure what Resident 71's right leg weightbearing precautions were since the medical record indicated two
active, conflicting physician's orders related to the weightbearing status of Resident 71's right leg. RN 4
stated it was important the outdated physician's order was discontinued to avoid confusion and
inappropriate provision of care.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/25/2025 at 2:28 p.m., with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 17's medical record was reviewed. The DOR stated Resident 71's medical
record was inaccurate and confusing because Resident 71 had two, conflicting physician's orders related to
the weightbearing status of Resident 71's right leg. The DOR confirmed Resident 71 was initially WBAT on
the right leg but was later changed to NWB on the right leg due to a wound on the right heel of Resident
71's foot. The DOR stated the physician's order, dated 12/27/2024, which indicated Resident 71 was WBAT
on the right leg should have been discontinued when the weightbearing status changed but was not. The
DOR stated it was important documentation in the medical record was accurate to avoid staff confusion and
to ensure staff provided the appropriate precautions when providing care to the residents.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:14 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important
documentation in the medical record was accurate to ensure staff knew how to appropriately address the
resident's needs based on his or her current condition. The DON stated inaccurate documentation could
lead to staff confusion and inappropriate provision of care and services to the residents.
b. During a review of Resident 48's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 48 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including congestive heart
failure ([CHF]-a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes
resulting in leg swelling), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and
post-traumatic stress disorder ([PTSD], a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after
experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event).
During a review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 48
had severely impaired cognitition and required supervision (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes the activity) with self-care
abilities like eating, was dependent (helper does all of the effort to complete the task) with oral hygiene
toileting and personal hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper and lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off
footwear. The MDS indicated Resident 48 required moderate assistance (helper does more than half the
effort to complete the task) with mobility like rolling left and right, sitting to lying position, lying to sitting on
side of bed, and was dependent with sit to stand position, chair/bed to chair transfer, and shower transfers.
During a review of Resident 48's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated Restorative
Nursing Aide (RNA) program for passive range of motion ([PROM], a type of range of motion exercises that
involves a helper moving a person's joint through its range of motion) to left upper extremity ([LUE], left
arm) five times a week as tolerated every day-shift Tolerance: G=Good, F=Fair, P=Poor ordered on
1/11/2025, RNA for sit to stand with hallway railing or parallel bars five times a week as tolerated every day
shift ordered on 12/16/2024, RNA to apply wrist hand finger orthosis ([WHFO], ideal support, protection,
and positioning of the wrist, hand and fingers) to left hand five times a week for four to six hours as
tolerated with skin check every day shift ordered on 1/11/2025.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain and observe infection control
measures by failing to:
Residents Affected - Many
a.Ensure Restorative Nursing Aide 1 changed isolation gowns (protective apparel used to protect the
wearer from the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids) in between provision of direct, high contact
care for Resident 13 and Resident 30 who were both on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, infection
control intervention using gown and gloves during high contact resident care activities designed to reduce
the transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms).
b.Sanitize (to reduce or eliminate bacteria on the surfaces of something) the mechanical lift (a mechanical
device used to safely transfer individuals who have limited mobility from one place to another) between
using it for 2 of 3 sample residents (Residents 1 and 45) Resident 1 and Resident 45.
These failures had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection
among the residents and staff members.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 13's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially
admitted Resident 13 on 5/9/2019 and re-admitted Resident 13 on 7/18/2024 with diagnoses including
malnutrition (condition that occurs when the body does not receive or use enough nutrients to maintain
health), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (condition in which the body does
not metabolize blood sugar correctly).
During a review of Resident 13's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order, dated 4/22/2025, for Resident 13 to be placed on Ehnhanced Barrior Precaution (EBP an
infection control strategy that aims to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms).
During a review of Resident 30's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially
admitted Resident 30 on 3/10/2025 and re-admitted Resident 30 on 2/7/2024 with diagnoses including
malnutrition, dysphagia, and heart failure (condition in which the heart has difficulty pumping enough blood
to keep up with demands of body).
During a review of Resident 30's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order, dated 4/22/2025, for Resident 30 to be placed on EBP precautions.
During an observation on 6/25/2025 at 9:26 a.m., Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) entered Resident
13's room and put on gloves and an isolation gown. RNA 1 assisted Resident 13 with range of motion
(ROM, full movement potential of a joint) exercises to both arms and applied splints (rigid material or
apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken bone or impaired joint) to both elbows. After the RNA
session was complete, RNA 1 walked to the door and saw Resident 30 laying sideways in bed. RNA 1
removed gloves, performed hand hygiene, put on new gloves, and did not change his isolation gown. RNA
1 walked to Resident 30's bed, put his left arm under Resident 30's neck and his right arm under Resident
30's knees, and repositioned Resident 30 in bed.
During an interview on 6/25/2025 at 9:47 a.m., RNA 1 stated he did not change his isolation gown

after providing RNA exercises to Resident 13 and before repositioning Resident 30. RNA 1 stated he
should have changed his isolation gown in between providing care to Resident 13 and Resident 30
because they were on EBP precautions. RNA 1 stated it was important to follow infection control protocols
to prevent the spread of infection.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 3:05 pm, the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) stated the purpose of
EBP was to minimize the risk of infection for residents with invasive devices (medical tools that enter the
body either through a break in the skin or an opening in the body) such as foley catheters (thin, flexible
rube inserted into the bladder to drain urine), gastronomy tubes (a tube placed directly into the stomach for
long-term feeding), wounds, and surgical sites. The IPN stated all staff providing direct patient care which
included RNA exercises and repositioning of residents on EBP precautions must wear the appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE, equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that can cause
serious injuries and illnesses) which included an isolation gown and gloves to prevent the spread of
infection. The IPN stated staff must change his or her isolation gown and gloves in between the provision of
direct, high contact care of multiple residents to prevent the spread of infection and prevent cross
contamination.
During an interview on 6/26/2025 at 4:14 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated all staff must change
PPE which included an isolation and gloves for residents on EBP precautions in between provision of direct
care of multiple residents. The DON stated it was important all staff followed the proper infection control
protocols to prevent the spread of infection.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Infection Prevention and Control Program,
dated 9/18/2023, the P/P indicated an infection control program was established and maintained to provide
a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of
communicable diseases and infections. The P/P indicated the program was based on accepted national
infection prevention and control standards.
