F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of Resident 591's medical record indicated an admission Date of 4/17/25. Resident 591's diagnoses included cognitive communication deficit (trouble communicating because of problems with their thinking and processing abilities, not just their language skills), and dysphagia, oral phase (difficulty with the first stage of swallowing, which happens in the mouth). A review of Resident 591's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 591's brief interview for mental status (BIMS, a tool used to assess cognition [knowing, learning, and understanding things]) score was 13 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment, 13-15 patient is cognitively intact). During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/5/25 at 8:56 a.m. inside Resident 591's room, Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA) K was standing at bedside while feeding Resident 591. Resident 591 was sitting on the bed. RNA K stated it was okay to stand while feeding a resident. During an interview on 5/6/25 at 3:14 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated staff must sit while feeding a resident. During an interview on 5/8/25 at 3:34 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff needed to sit down while feeding residents. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Dignity, date revised 2/2021, indicated, Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times . When assisting with care, residents are supported in exercising their rights. For example, residents are provided with a dignified dining experience. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain respect, and dignity to two of three sampled residents (Residents 20 and 591) when: 1. Certified nursing assistant C (CNA C) was standing while feeding Resident 20; and, 2. Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA) K was standing while feeding Resident 591. These failures had the potential to negatively affect resident's emotional and psychosocial well-being.

F 0550 Findings: Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 1. Review of Resident 20's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 5/7/2025, indicated Resident 20 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), and adult failure to thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional impairments which can cause weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity). Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 20's quarterly minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident 20's brief interview for mental status (BIMS, a tool used to assess cognition [knowing, learning, and understanding things]) score was 05 (a score of 0 to 7 indicates severe cognitive impairment, 8-12 moderate impairment, 13-15 patient is cognitively intact). During a concurrent observation and interview with CNA C on 5/5/2025 at 8:46 a.m., inside Resident 20's room, Resident 20 was sitting up in bed being spoon-fed by CNA C with breakfast food while CNA C was standing, and the privacy curtain was not drawn. CNA C confirmed the above observation and stated she preferred to assist Resident 20 with meals while standing because she wanted to see Resident 20's face while being fed. CNA C further stated that Resident 20 had asked her to sit down but CNA C refused. After five minutes of observation, CNA C sat on Resident 20's bed and continued to spoon-fed Resident 20. CNA C stated they did not have any available chair to sit on. During an interview with the director of staff development (DSD) on 5/6/2025 at 3:13 p.m., DSD confirmed staff should be seated in front of the residents during meal assistance. DSD stated staff should grab a chair when there was no chair inside the resident's room. DSD further stated staff should not sit on resident's bed during meal assistance. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Dignity, date revised 2/2021, indicated, Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times . When assisting with care, residents are supported in exercising their rights. For example, residents are provided with a dignified dining experience.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) assessments for one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 158) when Resident 158's five MDS assessments did not reflect Resident 158's feeding tube (a medical device, a thin and flexible tube, used to deliver nutrition and fluids directly into the digestive system when a person cannot eat or drink safely by mouth) and the percentage of intakes by artificial route. Residents Affected - Some These failures resulted in inaccurate MDS assessments and had the potential to affect the residents' care. Findings: Review of Resident 158's clinical record titled, admission Record, dated 5/9/5025, indicated Resident 158 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including aphasia (a disorder that makes it difficult to speak) following cerebral infarction (also known as an ischemic stroke, is a condition where blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain tissue to die), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) following cerebral infarction, and gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems) status. Review of Resident 158's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 5/9/2025, it revealed an order, Formula: Glucerna 1.2 via enteral pump at 85cc/hr [cubic centimeter per hour] x 15 hours (off from 07:00AM to 04:00PM) . It indicated the feeding to start at 4:00 p.m. and to end at 7:00 a.m. During observations on 5/5/2025 at 8:27 a.m., and 5/6/2025 at 9:22 a.m., inside Resident 158's room, Resident 158 was in bed and a feeding pump was observed in a pole positioned at the left side of Resident 158's bed. During a concurrent interview with MDS nurse G (MDSN G) and record review of Resident 158's MDS assessment on 5/8/2025 at 3:48 p.m., Resident 158's Annual assessment dated [DATE]; Quarterly review assessment dated [DATE]; 5-day scheduled assessment dated [DATE]; Quarterly review assessment dated [DATE] and Quarterly review assessment dated [DATE], revealed the following: 1. Section K0520B Nutritional Approaches: Feeding tube like gastrostomy tube was not coded or left blank; 2. Section K0710A Proportion of total calories the resident received through parenteral (also known as intravenous [IV] nutrition, which refers to the delivery of nutrients intravenously, bypassing the digestive system) or tube feeding was not coded or left blank; and, 3. Section K0710B Average fluid intake per day by tube feeding was not coded or left blank. MDSN G confirmed the above coding assessments and stated the facility's registered dietitian (RD) was the one who coded the mentioned MDS sections.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide services according to professional standards for two 11 sampled residents for medication administration (Residents 88 and 192) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Licensed vocational nurse I (LVN I) provided the wrong nutritional supplement (Boost Plus - brand name of the nutritional supplement) to Resident 88; 2. Registered nurse J (RN J) did not perform a push-pause method (or pulsatile flushing technique is a method to flush IV [intravenous] and catheters, which involves rapidly injecting fluid into the line, pausing briefly, then repeating the process) when flushing Resident 192's peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC, long slender, flexible tube inserted into a peripheral vein, typically in the upper arm, and advanced until the catheter tip terminates in the chest near the heart to obtain venous access) line with normal saline (NS). These failures had the potential to affect residents' care, health, and well-being. Findings: 1. During medication administration observation on 5/7/2025 at 8:50 a.m., LVN I prepared all the medications and the nutritional supplement for Resident 88. LVN I showed the carton of Boost Plus before she entered Resident 88's room. Additional observation at 8:55 a.m., LVN I poured the whole carton of Boost Plus in a cup and handed it to Resident 88. Resident 88 drank the supplement. During a review of Resident 88's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, dated 5/7/2025, it indicated an order dated 4/10/2025, Ensure Plus two times a day for supplement. Further review indicated there was no order for Boost Plus. During a review of Resident 88's clinical record titled, Weight variance note, dated 4/6/2025, it indicated a note from the registered dietitian (RD) which revealed Resident 88 had weight loss, PO [by mouth] has been variable and not meeting needs. Would benefit from oral supplement to help meet needs. Hard to meet needs d/t [due to] advanced age, medical status and variable po intake. Recommend: .1 can ensure plus . During a concurrent interview with LVN I and review of Resident 88's order summary report, LVN I confirmed she gave Boost Plus to Resident 88 instead of Ensure Plus. LVN I stated the physician's order was Ensure Plus. During an interview with director of nursing (DON) on 5/9/2025 at 8:00 a.m., DON stated if the physician's order was Ensure Plus, the nurse should have given Ensure Plus to Resident 88 instead of Boost Plus. DON further stated, nurses should follow the physician's order. 2. During medication administration observation on 5/7/2025 at 9:37 a.m., inside Resident 192's room, RN J flushed Resident 192's PICC line with 10 milliliters (ml - volume of measurement) of NS quickly, without using the push-pause method on the syringe plunger.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 9.68% when three medication errors were observed out of 31 opportunities during medication administration for three of 11 residents (Residents 9, 193, and 79) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 9 received the second dose of albuterol sulfate (an inhaler used to treat or prevent bronchospasm, or narrowing of the airways in the lungs) inhalation (or puff, the act of taking a substance into the body by breathing) without having to wait for one minute for first inhalation to be fully absorbed by the lungs; 2. Resident 193 received three puffs of budesonide -formoterol fumarate dihydrate (it is a combination of medications used to treat asthma [inflammatory disease of the airway that often causes wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD, a long-lasting lung disease]) inhalation instead of two puffs as ordered by the physician; and 3. Resident 79 received five different medications through his gastrostomy tube (or G-tube, a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition and medications directly to the stomach) without water flushes in between medications. These failures resulted in residents not receiving medications as prescribed and had the potential to result in residents not receiving the full therapeutic benefit of their medications or experiencing negative health outcomes. Findings: 1. During a medication administration observation on 5/7/2025 at 12:30 p.m., inside Resident 9's room, Resident 9 was seated on her wheelchair and licensed vocational nurse I (LVN I) instructed Resident 9 to take one puff of albuterol sulfate inhalation. Resident 9 took one puff of the medication and after 10 seconds, LVN I continued to administer one more puff of the medication. During an interview with LVN I on 5/7/2025 at 12:35 p.m., LVN I stated she could give the second puff once resident exhaled. LVN I asked, is there a time interval for the second puff?

During a medication administration observation on 5/8/2025 at 8:36 a.m., inside Resident 193's room, registered nurse R (RN R) handed the budesonide -formoterol fumarate dihydrate inhaler to Resident 193 who was sitting at the edge of the bed. RN R did not provide instructions to Resident 193 on how to use the inhaler, and Resident 193 was observed to self-administer three puffs of the inhaler. During an interview with RN R on 5/8/2025 at 8:40 a.m., RN R confirmed the above observation and stated she should have given Resident 193 instructions first on how to use the inhaler and how much she needed to self-administer before she handed the inhaler to Resident 193. RN R confirmed Resident 193 had an extra dose of the inhaler. During an interview with DON on 5/8/2025 at 1:56 p.m., DON stated nurses should have to explain what they were giving and the dosage of the inhaler before they provide the inhaler to residents who could self-administer. Review of Resident 193's medical record indicated an order dated 4/29/2025 of budesonide-formoterol fumarate dihydride, 2 inhalation inhale orally one time a day for asthma.

LVN S prepared the medications for G-tube administration. Each medication was separated into five medication cups. LVN S checked the G-tube placement, flushed it with 30 ml of water, then LVN S started to pour each medication one at a time without flushing in between medications with water. During an interview with LVN S on 5/8/2025 at 9:57 a.m., LVN S confirmed the above observation and stated they were taught to just mix the diluted medication with extra five ml of water in order not to clog. LVN S further stated they never flushed the G-tube with water in between multiple medication administration.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 160) received the planned menu meal or the food alternative, as indicated on the posted menu and consistent with the resident's preferences. As a result, Resident 160 did not receive the correct food items on multiple occasions. Findings: A review of Resident 160's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening) dated 4/2/25, indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, a brief screening tool used to assess thinking and memory) score of 15. A BIMS score of 13-15 indicates intact cognition (suggests no significant impairment in thinking, reasoning, memory, and problem solving). During a dining observation and concurrent interview on 5/5/25 at 1:23 p.m. in Resident 160's room, the resident's meal tray contained a beef patty and salad. Resident 160 confirmed the food items and stated he had received the same meal the day before. Resident 160's tray ticket documented a dislike of all pork. Resident 160 also reported that, several days earlier, he had requested barbecue chicken from the alternative menu but instead received two chicken nuggets. Observation of other residents showed they were served soft tacos and salad. During a follow-up interview on 5/6/25 at 3:15 p.m., Resident 160 stated he had not requested an alternative for lunch on 5/5/25. Resident 160 reviewed the facility's weekly menu, which listed soft tacos and salad. Resident 160 stated he likes soft tacos and should have received that meal instead of the repeated patty from the previous day. During an interview and concurrent review of the posted Spring menu and alternative meal options, on 5/6/25 at 3:30 p.m., the dietary manager (DM) confirmed the soft tacos on 5/5/25 were made with beef, not pork. The DM acknowledged that Resident 160 received a vegetable patty, not the planned menu item, and confirmed that no alternative had been requested. The DM reviewed the posted alternatives and verified that barbecue chicken was listed, but chicken nuggets were not. The DM stated Resident 160 should have received the requested barbecue chicken. During a follow-up interview at 3:50 p.m., the DM said she spoke with Resident 160, confirmed it was a kitchen error, and stated she would conduct in-service training for dietary staff on following the planned menu and honoring resident preferences. A review of the facility's policy titled Menu, revised October 2008, indicated that menus shall: a) meet the nutritional needs of residents; b) be prepared in advance; and c) be followed.
