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** Based on
observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of 169 residents
(nonsampled Resident 17) was provided care in a manner that promoted dignity and respect. * The facility
failed to provide Resident 17 with privacy during bedside toileting. This failure had the potential for the
resident to experience a decline in her psychosocial well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled
Dignity revised February 2021 showed the staff will maintain and protect resident privacy during personal
cares. Medical record review for Resident 17 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 17 was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated
2/4/21, for the resident to use a bedside commode. On 8/21/25 at 0928 hours, Resident 17 was observed
being transferred to a bedside commode by CNA 1. Resident 17's privacy curtain was pulled closed but the
basin, which was under the resident's commode and approximately six inches above the commode, was
observed from the hallway due to the gap between the privacy curtain and the floor. CNA 1 was heard
asking the resident if she wanted her room door closed, and the resident declined. On 8/21/25 at 0947
hours, Resident 17 was still observed sitting on the commode. The commode basin was still observed on
the floor, where contents going into the commode could potentially be observed from the hallway. On
8/21/25 at 1004 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 17 just had a bowel
movement while on the commode. On 8/21/25 at 1007 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident
17, who was now sitting in her wheelchair. Resident 17 stated she was not aware her commode basin was
visible from the hallway, even with the privacy curtain pulled closed. The resident stated she just assumed
the privacy curtain hid everything, and preferred her commode basin not be visible from the hallway during
use. On 8/21/25 at 1048 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident
17's bedside commode was an over-the-toilet commode, and did not have place to attach a basin. CNA 1
stated she realized the resident's commode basin was viewable from the hallway under the privacy curtain,
when the resident wanted her door to remain open. When asked if there was anything to block the view of
the resident's commode basin during use, the CNA stated she did not think so. When asked about the trash
receptacle located in the room, the CNA tested it by moving a trash receptacle next to the privacy curtain.
CNA 1 verified the trash receptacle extended above the bottom of the privacy curtain and could have
obstructed the view of the commode basin from the hallway.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
medications were safely administered to two of 33 final sampled residents (Residents 158 and 174). *
Resident 158 had a bottle of Total Beets (dietary supplement) 650 mg chewable at the bedside. Resident
158 did not have a physician's order to self-administer the Total Beets 650 mg or to keep any medication at
the bedside. * Resident 174 had the bottle of Instaflex Advanced (dietary supplement) at the bedside.
Resident 174 had no physician's order to keep any medication at the bedside. These failures had the
potential to negatively impact Resident 158 and 174's physiological well-being and the potential for the
residents to administer the medications inaccurately. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled
Administering Medications revised 4/2023 showed the medications are administered in a safe and timely
manner, and as prescribed. The residents may self-administer their own medications only if the attending
physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, has determined that they have the
decision-making capacity to do so safely. 1. On 8/18/25 at 0919 hours, an observation and concurrent
interview was conducted with Resident 158. A bottle labeled Total Beets (supplement) 650 mg was
observed on Resident 158's bedside table. The label on the bottle showed the supplement contained 10 mg
of Niacin (vitamin B3), 2 mg of vitamin B6, and 25 mcg of vitamin B12 per serving. Resident 158 stated he
took the Total Beets every day. Medical record review for Resident 158 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident
158 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 158's MDS assessment dated [DATE],
showed Resident 158 was cognitively intact. Review of Resident 158s Order Summary Report dated
8/26/25, failed to show a physician's order for the self-administration of the Total Beets 650 mg medication.
Review of Resident 158's plan of care failed to show a care plan problem was initiated or developed to
address the resident's self-administration of the Total Beets 650 mg medications. On 8/19/25 at 1027 hours,
Resident 158 was observed in bed. The bottle of Total Beets 650 mg medication was observed on Resident
158's bedside table. On 8/20/25 at 1107 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for
Resident 158 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated for the self- administration of the medications, the
IDT determined if the resident could safely self-administer the medication. LVN 1 stated there should be a
physician's order specific to the medication the resident would self-administer and a care plan developed
for the self-administration of the medication. LVN 1 further stated the medication would be kept in the
medication carts and for the independent residents, the medication could be kept in the resident's room,
however it should be locked so the other residents could not get access to the medication. LVN 1 reviewed
Resident 158's medical record and verified Resident 158 had no physician's order or a care plan for the
self-administration of the Total Beets 650 mg medication. LVN 1 stated the medication should not be left at
the bedside. On 8/20/25 at 1130 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated she
went to Resident 158's room and verified the above findings. 2. On 8/18/25 at 1126 hours, an observation
and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 174. A bottle labeled Instaflex Advanced medication
was observed at Resident 174's bedside. When asked about the medication, Resident 174 stated the
medication was for her stomach and she self-administered the medication. Resident 174 further stated the
medication inside the bottle was not what was on the bottle label. Medical record review for Resident 174
was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 174 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 174's
medical record failed to show a Self-Administration of Medication Assessment was done for Resident 174.

to show a care plan problem was initiated or developed to address the resident's self-administration of the
medications. On 8/20/25 at 1032 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident
174 was conducted with RN 5. RN 5 stated for the self- administration of medications by the residents, the
resident needed to be assessed by the physician, as well as an assessment by the IDT, to ensure the
resident could safely administer the medications. RN 5 stated there should be a physician's order for the
self-administration of medications and the medication should be kept in a locked drawer. RN 5 reviewed
Resident 174's medical record and verified the resident had no physician's order to self- administer
medications and a self-administration of medication assessment was not done. When asked about the
bottle labeled Instaflex Advanced medication at Resident 174's bedside, RN 5 stated the bottle was found
by the CNA yesterday and was removed. On 8/25/25 at 1025 hours, an interview was conducted with the
DON. The DON stated for the self-administration of medications, the resident should have an assessment
for the self-administration of medications to determine if the resident was alert and capable of administering
the medications. The DON stated if the resident had the capacity and was able to self-administer the
medication, there should be a physician's order for the self-administration of the medication and a care plan
would be developed to address the resident's self-administration of the medication. The DON further stated
the medication kept at the resident's bedside should be locked and the facility staff entering the room
should observe for any medications at the bedside to prevent other residents from having access to the
medications. On 8/25/25 at 1044 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The
Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the medical record was
safeguarded to protect the confidential health information of the residents for one of eight medication carts
(Medication Cart A). * The facility failed to ensure the computer monitor for Medication Cart A, which
showed resident information, was not left unattended. This failure had the potential for the residents'
personal and health information to be accessed by the unauthorized users.Findings: Review of the facility's
P&P titled Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (undated) showed the purpose of this policy is to
maintain an adequate level of security to protect resident and facility information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. Only authorized users are granted access to resident and facility information. Review of
the facility's P&P titled Protected Health Information (PHI), Management and Protection of revised 4/2014
showed it is the responsibility of all personnel who have access to resident and facility information to ensure
that such information is managed and protected to prevent unauthorized release or disclosure. On 8/19/25
at 0947 hours, Medication Cart A was observed in the hallway with the computer monitor turned on and
unattended. The computer screen showed resident information. A facility staff and a resident were observed
sitting in the hallway on the chairs adjacent to Medication Cart A. Six facility staff were observed walking in
the hallway and passing by Medication Cart A. On 8/19/25 at 0953 hours, LVN 8 was observed turning
Medication Cart A's computer off. LVN 8 stated she turned off the computer because it was showing a
resident's photo and medication information. LVN 8 stated she did not know who was responsible for
Medication Cart A. LVN 8 stated when leaving the medication cart unattended, the computer monitor
should be locked so there was no resident information showing to provide resident's privacy. On 8/25/25 at
1000 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated all the PHI should be covered and
the licensed nurses should log off the computer when leaving the medication cart. The DON was informed
and acknowledged the findings.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure all
grievances filed during 2025 were available for review to ensure they were followed up on appropriately. *
The facility did not file and kept copies of the residents' grievances. This failure resulted in the state agency
being unable to verify grievances were follow-up on per policy. Findings: Review of the facility's
Grievance/Complaints, Filing P&P dated 2001 showed once a grievance is filed, the SSD will review and
investigate the allegations and submit a written report of findings to the administrator withing five working
days. The SSD, Administrator, and facility staff will take immediate action to prevent future potential
violations of residents' rights while the grievance is being investigated. The Administrator will review the
findings with the SSD to determine what corrective action is needed, if any. The resident, or person filing
the grievance, will be informed of the investigation findings verbally, and in writing. A copy of the written
summary will also be filed in the business office. The results of all grievances will be maintained on file for
three years. On 8/19/25 at 1339 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted
with the SSD and Social Services Staff 1. The SSD stated she started working at the facility approximately
one week. The SSD provided the grievance binder which had tabs labeled for each month. There were no
grievance forms in the binder. Social Services Staff 1 stated there have been grievances this year, and they
both would see if they could locate them. On 8/19/25 at 1427 hours, an interview was conducted with the
Administrator. The Administrator stated both he and the SSD review grievances weekly and the binder
should not be empty. The Administrator stated he did not keep a copy of the grievances. On 8/20/25 at 0820
hours, an interview was conducted with the Business Office Manager. The Business Office Manager stated
she did not file copies of the residents' grievances. The Business Office Manager further stated she was not
aware the P&P showed she should be filing copies of the grievance written summaries. On 8/20/25 at 0858
hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated SS Staff 1 was able to locate one
missing grievance dated 6/26/25, but there were still other missing grievances.

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** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five
final sampled residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 13 and 61) and one of one final
sampled resident reviewed for behavioral-emotional management (Resident 133) were free from
unnecessary psychotropic drugs. * Resident 13 did not have the monthly behavior summaries for the
targeted behaviors for the Prozac (antidepressant) and divalproex sodium (an anticonvulsant medication
also used for behaviors associated with bipolar disorder) medications. In addition, the facility failed to
monitor the resident for orthostatic hypotension related to the resident's Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication)
use when the resident was readmitted on [DATE]. * The facility failed to ensure the monthly behavioral
summary was completed for Resident 61's Zyprexa medication. * Resident 133, who had a diagnosis of
dementia, was prescribed Ativan (antianxiety medication and Seroquel (antipsychotic medication). For the
Seroquel medication, there was no documented diagnosis, or diagnosis of bipolar disorder or psychosis
prior to starting the routine Seroquel medication. Additionally, there was no informed consent obtained prior
to starting the Seroquel medication. For the Ativan medication, there were no nonpharmacological
interventions implemented during the administration of the PRN medication. For both the Ativan and
Seroquel medications, there were no least restrictive measures attempted prior to the initiation of the
medications, and no side effect monitoring or behavior monitoring was implemented upon the start of the
medications. These failures had the potential to place the residents at risk of receiving unnecessary
medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions.Findings:
Review of the facility’s P&P titled Antipsychotic Medication Use revised 7/2022 showed the
residents will not receive medications that are not clinically indicated to treat a specific condition. The
attending physician and other staff will gather and document information to clarify a resident’s
behavior, mood, function, medical condition, specific symptoms, and risks to the resident and others. The
attending physician will identify, evaluate and document, with input from other disciplines and consultants
as needed, symptoms that may warrant the use of antipsychotic medications. Diagnosis of a specific
condition for which antipsychotic medications are necessary to treat will be based on a comprehensive
assessment of the resident. For enduring psychiatric conditions, antipsychotic medications will not be used
unless behavioral symptoms are not due to a medical condition or problem, persistent or likely to reoccur
without continued treatment, not sufficiently relieved by non-pharmacological interventions, not due to
environmental stressors, and not due to psychological stressors. The residents (and/or resident
representatives) will be informed of the recommendation, risks, benefits, purpose and potential adverse
consequences of antipsychotic medication use. The staff will observe, document, and report to the
attending physician information regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, including antipsychotic
medications. The nursing staff shall monitor for and report side effects and adverse consequences of
antipsychotic medication to the attending physician.
Review of the facility’s P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use/Informed Consent dated 3/2024
showed consideration of the use of any psychotropic medication is based on comprehensive review of the
resident. This includes evaluation of the resident’s signs and symptoms in order to identify
underlying causes. The non-pharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize the
need for medications, permit the lowest possible dose, and allow for discontinuation of medications when
possible. Before prescribing a psychotherapeutic drug, the prescriber must personally examine the resident
and obtain written consent signed by the resident or the resident’s representative along with, the
signature of the

manifestation of “anger outburst” from January to July 2025. However, the behavior
manifestation for the Zyprexa medication was changed on 6/27/25, to monitor for paranoid thoughts as
evidence by stated of being left alone or abandoned.
Further review of Resident 61’s medical record failed to show any monthly behavior summaries of
the targeted behavior of the Zyprexa medication were completed since 6/27/25, when the manifestation
was changed.
On 8/20/25 at 1200 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 7.
LVN 7 reviewed Resident 61’s medical record and verified the above findings. LVN 7 stated she was
assigned to review the residents’ psychotropic medications, complete the monthly Psychoactive

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
thoroughly investigate an allegation of facility staff to resident physical abuse, for one of two residents (final
sampled resident, Resident 73) reviewed for abuse * Resident 73's roommate (Resident 170) alleged she
witnessed a female staff member hit Resident 73 on the arm during care. The facility failed to conduct an
interview with the RN assigned to care for Resident 73, during the time in which the alleged incident
occurred. Additionally, the facility failed to conduct an interview with the CNA assigned to the station, which
Resident 73 resided in at the time of the allegation. * The facility failed to interview other residents residing
in the facility to determine if other residents were potentially the victim of physical abuse. These failures
potentially inhibited the facility's ability to determine if resident abuse occurred and posed the risk for further
abuse. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Investigation and Reporting revised 7/2017
showed all reports of resident abuse shall be thoroughly investigated by facility management. The individual
conducting the investigation will, at a minimum: Interview any witnesses to the incident, interview staff
members (on all shifts) who have had contact with the resident during the period of the alleged incident.
Interview other residents to whom the accused employee provides care or services. Upon the conclusion of
the investigation, the investigator will record the results of the investigation on approved documentation
forms and provide the completed documentation to the Administrator. Medical record review for Resident
170 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 170 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on
[DATE]. Review of Resident 170's H&P examination dated 8/20/25, showed Resident 170 was oriented and
had capacity. On 8/20/25 at 0900 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 170. Resident 170 was
asked to describe the alleged incident she allegedly witnessed involving her roommate (Resident 73).
Resident 170 stated Resident 73 had a behavior of striking out at the facility staff when Resident 73 was
asked to do something she did not wish to do. Resident 170 stated early in the morning she witnessed
Resident 73 sitting in her wheelchair in the hallway outside of their room. Resident 170 stated she saw
Resident 73 hit a white female staff member, at which time the white female staff member then hit Resident
73 on the hand. Resident 170 stated she believed the white female staff member hit Resident 73 on the
hand to teach Resident 73 not to strike out at the facility staff. Resident 170 stated she believed the white
female was a staff member, however, was unsure and did know the white female staff member's name.
Resident 170 stated the facility staff interviewed her regarding her allegation. Medical record review for
Resident 73 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 73 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the PASRR Level 1 screening contained
accurate information specific to mental illness for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 13) reviewed
for PASRR. * Resident 13 had a diagnosis of schizophrenia (chronic mental illness that impairs thought,
perception, and behavior, making it difficult to function in daily life) however, PASRR Level 1 screening
showed Resident 13 had no diagnosis of a mental illness. This failure had the potential for Resident 13 not
receiving a Level II Mental Health Evaluation, which posed the risk for Resident 13 not receiving
recommendations for specialized services that supplement nursing facility care to address resident mental
health needs. Findings: Medical record review for Resident 13 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 13 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 13's MAR showed a
physician's order dated 4/15/25, for Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication) 5 mg orally to be administered at
bedtime for schizophrenia. Review of Resident 13's PASRR Level I Screening results dated 7/31/25,
showed Resident 13 had no diagnosis of a serious mental illness. On 8/25/25 at 0847 hours, an interview
and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator was
asked to describe the purpose of a PASRR Level 1 Screening. The MDS Coordinator stated the PASRR
Level 1 screening functioned to screen and evaluate residents for serious mental illness. Additionally, the
results of the PASRR Level 1 screening may necessitate a Level II Mental Health Evaluation be conducted,
to determine if a resident could benefit from specialized mental health services. The MDS Coordinator
reviewed Resident 13's medical record and verified Resident 13's PASRR Level I Screening dated 7/31/25,
showed Resident 13 had no diagnosis of a serious mental illness. The MDS Coordinator stated this
information was incorrect as Resident 13 did have a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The MDS Coordinator
stated she would complete a new PASRR Level 1 Screening to show Resident 13 did have a diagnosis of
schizophrenia.

the surrounding site. * The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan to reflect
the individualized care needs of Resident 52's abdominal fold moisture associated skin damage (MASD)
and treatment. * The facility failed to ensure the interventions for Resident 158's plan of care to address the
use of the Dexcom sensor (measures the glucose level at regular intervals) were implemented. * The facility
failed to develop a plan of care to address the individualized care of Resident 166's behavior and presence
of a safety hazard (scissors) at Resident 166's bedside. * The facility failed to develop a comprehensive
person-centered care plan addressing Resident 174's pain and the use of the oxycodone (narcotic)
medication for pain. These failures had the potential risk of not providing the appropriate, consistent, and
individualized care to the residents. Findings:

- dated 8/12/25, to monitor the oxygen saturation every shift and to notify the physician if oxygen saturation
is below 92 %.
On 8/19/25 at 1357 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record for Resident 42 was conducted with
RN 5. RN 5 was asked about Resident 42's use of the oxygen. RN 5 verified and acknowledged the
resident had physician's order for the use of the oxygen as needed due to shortness of breath. RN 5 was
asked about the resident's plan of care and RN 5 was able to show the care plan problem addressing the
resident's respiratory status. However, when RN 5 was asked for the care plan intervention for the oxygen
used for the resident's shortness of breath as needed, RN 5 verified the new physician's order for the
oxygen and condition of the resident were not included in the care plan interventions.
On 8/25/25 1305 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 42 was conducted
with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the findings.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary treatment and services for
one of five final sampled residents (Resident 1) reviewed for unnecessary medications. * The facility failed
to ensure Resident 1's orthostatic BP (blood pressure) was accurately monitored as ordered by the
physician. This failure had the potential to negatively affect Resident 1's health and well-being. Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 8/22/25, showed the following physician's
orders: - dated 8/8/25, to monitor for orthostatic BP lying and sitting every day shift, for lying blood
pressure; and - dated 8/8/25, to monitor for orthostatic BP lying and sitting every day shift, for sitting blood
pressure. Review of Resident 1's plan of care showed a care plan focus addressing Resident 1's altered
cardiovascular status and risk for hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypotension (low blood pressure)
dated 7/5/25. The interventions included to administer the antihypertensive medications as ordered and to
monitor for side effects such as orthostatic hypotension and increased heart rate and effectiveness. Review
of Resident 1's MAR for 8/2025 showed the following: - on 8/9/25, the BP readings were 115/67 mmHg for
the sitting and lying positions;- on 8/13/25, the BP readings were 126/70 mmHg for the sitting and lying
positions; - on 8/14/25, the BP readings were 131/64 mmHg for the sitting and lying positions; - on 8/16/25,
the BP readings were 127/76 mmHg for the sitting and lying positions; - on 8/17/25, the BP readings were
127/85 mmHg for the sitting and lying positions; - on 8/19/25, the BP readings were 128/68 mmHg for the
sitting and lying positions; - on 8/20/25, the BP readings were 132/76 mmHg for the sitting and lying
positions; and- on 8/21/25, the BP readings were 137/76 mmHg for the sitting and lying positions. On
8/21/25 at 1317 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN
2 stated Resident 1 was being monitored for orthostatic BP due to the antipsychotic drug side effects. LVN
2 stated he took the orthostatic BP by taking Resident 1's BP lying first, had the resident sit up, waited
three minutes, then checked his BP again in a sitting position. LVN 2 stated the BP for the lying and sitting
positions should be a little different. Upon review of Resident 1's orthostatic BP readings documented in the
MAR for 8/2025, LVN 2 stated the matching BP readings were an error and documented the BP readings
wrong. LVN 2 was unable to provide the documented evidence to show the accurate orthostatic BP
readings were taken for the days that he was caring for Resident 1 (8/14, 8/17, 8/19, 8/20 and 8/21/25). On
8/25/25 at 1000 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON.
The DON stated for the orthostatic BP monitoring, the BP readings could not be the same number for both
lying and sitting positions every time the readings were taken.

pounds.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/19/25 at 1016 and at 1311 hours, Resident 37 was observed in bed. The LAL mattress unit was
observed on, set at the 8th light setting for firmness, and the “statique” light was observed on.
Resident 37’s heel protector boots were observed on the linen hamper in Resident 37’s
room. The staff was not observed in the room providing care to Resident 37.
On 8/19/25 at 1317 hours, an interview and concurrent observation was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2
stated for the residents on a special mattress, whenever CNA 2 entered the residents' room, he checked to
see if the special mattress unit was on and the mattress was inflated. CNA 2 stated he did not touch the
special mattress unit. CNA 2 stated Resident 37 could assist with turning and reposition while in bed and
required two facility staff members for transfers. CNA 2 stated Resident 37 had a special mattress and the
boot protectors which he applied for Resident 37 whenever the treatment nurse asked him. CNA 2 verified
Resident 37’s heel protector boots were on the linen cart and stated he had not applied the boots
for Resident 37 today.
On 8/19/25 at 1340 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5
stated the LAL mattress setting was set per the manufacturer's setting which was based off of the resident's

resident’s comfort, there should be the documentation in the resident's medical record. LVN 5 stated
every shift, the licensed nurses were responsible for checking the functionality of the LAL mattress unit and
ensuring the LAL mattress setting was set appropriately for the resident. LVN 5 stated some residents had
a sticker placed on the LAL unit to indicate the setting the LAL mattress should be set at. LVN 5 stated if
there was a sticker, the licensed nurses should check the current LAL mattress setting and compare the
numbers with the numbers on the sticker. Additionally, LVN 5 stated the licensed nurse should also check to
ensure the numbers on the sticker accurately reflected the resident’s current weight. LVN 5 stated If
the setting was set too firm there was a potential risk of affecting the resident's wound management or
healing, or place the resident at risk for developing skin breakdown. When asked about the statique setting,
LVN 5 stated the statique setting was used when providing wound treatments or incontinent care to the
residents. LVN 5 stated in the statique setting, the air in the mattress would not be alternating. LVN 5 stated
the LAL mattress setting should not be set at statique for a long period. LVN 5 stated Resident 37’s
heel protector boots should be worn whenever the resident is in bed. LVN 5 verified the above findings and
stated the LAL mattress setting should not be set at over 300 pounds and should not be in the statique
mode.
On 8/21/25 at 1022 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 5. Resident 37
was observed lying in bed and the LAL mattress unit was observed on and set at the sixth light setting,

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 facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the environment remained free
from accident hazards for one of four final sampled residents (Resident 42) and two nonsampled residents
(Residents 26 and 166) reviewed for accidents. * The facility failed to post signage on Resident 42's room to
indicate the oxygen was in use. * The facility failed to ensure the resident rooms contained secured
closet/storage cabinets for 103 of 103 resident rooms. * A pair of long scissors was observed on Resident
166's overbed table. These failures posed the risk for injuries to the residents, staff, and visitors.Findings:
1. On 8/19/25 at 1010 hours, an observation was conducted of Resident Room E. Resident 26 resided in
Room E. A closet/storage cabinet was observed adjacent to Resident 26’s wall and bed. The
closet/storage cabinet was unsecured.
On 8/19/25 at 1029 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with the Maintenance
Director. The Maintenance Director verified Resident 26’s room (Room E) contained an unsecured
closet/storage cabinet. The Maintenance Director was asked how many resident rooms were within the
facility. The Maintenance Director stated the facility consisted of 103 resident rooms. The Maintenance
Director was then asked how many resident rooms contained unsecured closet/storage cabinets. The
Maintenance Director stated all the 103 resident rooms contained unsecured closet/storage cabinets. The
Maintenance Director stated the resident closet/storage cabinets were unsecured as the resident rooms
were in the process of being refurbished. The Maintenance Director stated the facility ordered new resident
closet/storage cabinets for all the resident rooms throughout the facility (103 rooms). The Maintenance
Director stated all of the residents closet/storage cabinets would be secured, to prevent the possibility of
tipping over during an earthquake, which could result in injuries to the residents.
2. Review of the facility’s P&P titled Personal Property revised August 2022 showed the residents

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of four
final sampled residents (Residents 10 and 130) reviewed for grab bar use remained free from accident
hazards associated with the use of elevated grab bars. *The facility failed to ensure the less restrictive
interventions were used prior to the installation of the grab bars for Residents 10 and 130. This failure had
the potential to put the residents at risk for entrapment and serious injuries.Findings:

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the
pharmaceutical services for four of 33 final sampled residents (Residents 8, 37, 58, and 174) to ensure the
accurate administration of the medications. * The facility failed to ensure the accurate documentation of the
controlled medications for Resident 174. This failure posed the risk of diversion of controlled medications
and medication administration errors. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 8, 37, and 58's insulin injection
sites were rotated. These failures had the potential to negatively affect the residents' health conditions and
posed the risk for possible complications.Findings:
Review of the facility’s P&P titled Controlled Substances revised 11/2022 showed the controlled
substance inventory is monitored and reconciled to identify loss or potential diversion manner that
minimized the time between loss/diversion and detection/follow-up. The system of reconciling the receipt,
dispensing and disposition of controlled substances includes the following:
a. Records of personnel access and usage;
b. Medication administration records
c. Declining inventory records; and
d. Destruction, waste, and return to pharmacy records.
The nursing staff count controlled medication inventory at the end of each shift, using these records to
reconcile inventory count. The nurse coming on duty and the nurse going off duty make the count together
and document and report any discrepancies to the Director of Nursing Services.
Review of the facility’s P&P Administering Medications revised 4/2023 showed the individual
administering the medication initials the resident’s MAR on the appropriate line or eMAR after giving
each medication and before administering the next ones.

Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five residents (Resident 1) reviewed
for unnecessary medications were properly monitored for the signs and symptoms of bleeding related to
the use of anticoagulant (prevents blood clots) medication. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 1 was
monitored for the signs and symptoms of bleeding for the use of heparin (anticoagulant medication)
medication. This failure had the potential for the resident to develop significant side effect of bleeding and
negatively affect the resident's health condition and well-being. Findings: According to DailyMed, an online
reference for clinical drug information, the most common adverse reactions to heparin are hemorrhage
(bleeding), thrombocytopenia (a serious antibody-mediated reaction), heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
and heparin-inducted thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (blood clotting), injection site irritation, and general
hypersensitivity reactions. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 1 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 8/22/25, showed
the following physician's orders:- dated 8/8/25, to administer heparin sodium injection solution 5000 unit/ml,
inject 5000 units subcutaneously every 12 hours for DVT; and- dated 8/18/25, to monitor for any signs of
bleeding every shift for the use of heparin medication. Review of Resident 1's plan of care showed a care
plan focus for Resident 1's altered cardiovascular status dated 7/5/25. The interventions included to
administer the anticoagulant medication per the physician's order and to monitor for signs and symptoms of
bruising, bleeding, and to notify the physician if noted. Further review of Resident 1's medical record failed
to show documented evidence Resident 1 was being monitored for bleeding from 8/8/25 through 8/17/25.
On 8/21/25 at 1317 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2.
LVN 2 stated Resident 1 was receiving the heparin medication for DVT prophylaxis. LVN 2 stated for the
residents on heparin injections, the licensed nurses would monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of
bleeding and document the monitoring on the electronic MAR. LVN 2 stated Resident 1 should have had a
physician's order for the monitoring of the signs and symptoms of bleeding when the medication was
started. LVN 2 verified there was no documented evidence Resident 1 was being monitored for bleeding
from 8/8 through 8/17/25. On 8/25/25 at 1000 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review
was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the licensed nurses would monitor for bleeding and bruising
for the residents who had a heparin injection. The DON further stated the monitoring for bleeding should
have been done as soon as the medication was started. The DON was informed and acknowledged the
above findings.

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to provide the necessary pharmacy services to ensure the proper storage, labeling, and
disposal of medications. * The facility stored the tuberculin (used in a skin test to help diagnose tuberculosis
(TB) infection in persons at increased risk of developing active disease) solutions past the 30 days from the
time it was opened. * The tuberculin solutions stored in the refrigerator in Medication Room A and B were
not labeled with an open date. * A container of Super Sani Cloth Wipes was observed with faded expiration
date inside Medication Room A * Resident 1's ice cream was stored inside the medication refrigerator in
Medication Room A. * Three insulin (medication to lower blood sugar levels) pens did not have a pharmacy
prescription labels for one nonsampled resident (Resident 167). One of two medication refrigerators'
(Medication Room B) temperature was not kept under proper temperature controls. In addition, an ice
buildup was observed along the back wall of the medication refrigerator. * The oral medications were stored
with IV supplies inside Medication Cart B. * Medication Cart D contained single use dressings and skin
staple remover stored in opened packaging. In addition, there were opened packaging of steri-strips; and
steri-strips exposed without its original packaging. * Expired medications/supplies were not removed from
Medication Carts B and D. * The facility failed to properly discard the refused/discontinued medications from
Medication Cart C. These failures had the potential for the medications to not be effective, medications
getting misplaced, ruining the integrity of the drugs and biologicals stored inside the medication refrigerator,
cross contamination, and using wipes which may no longer be effective to protect against
infection.Findings:
Review of the facility’s P&P titled Pharmacy Services Overview revised 4/2019 showed medications
are received, labeled, stored, administered and disposed of according to all applicable state and federal
laws and consistent with standards of practice.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Labeling and Storage revised 2/2023 showed if the facility has
discontinued, outdated or deteriorated medications or biologicals, the dispensing pharmacy is contacted for
instructions regarding returning or destroying these items.
Review of the solution information shown on the box of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative showed once
entered, the vial should be discarded after 30 days.
1. a. On 8/19/25 at 1052 hours, an inspection of Medication Room A and concurrent interview was
conducted with LVN 7. Inside the medication refrigerator, the following was observed:
- one vial of tuberculin solution was labeled with an open date of 7/15/25. The box of the tuberculin vial
showed “Once entered, the vial should be discarded after 30 days.” A second tuberculin
solution did not have an open date on it. LVN 7 verified the findings and stated the solutions should be
discarded.- two jars of ice cream belonging to Resident 1 were stored inside the ice compartment of the
medication refrigerator.- a total of three insulin pens for Resident 167 were observed without the pharmacy
prescription labels on the individual pens.
In addition, a container of Super Sani Cloth Wipes (alcohol-free, ready-to-use wipes, disposable wipes
designed for both cleaning and disinfection in healthcare environments) was observed with a faded
expiration date. LVN 7 verified the expiration date on the container was not legible.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure one of 166 residents who received food from the kitchen during the dining observation
received the appropriate diet as ordered by the physician. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 132 was
served the super soup with lunch as ordered by the physician. This failure posed the risk of the resident's
nutritional needs not being met. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Therapeutic Diets revised
10/2017 showed a therapeutic diet is considered a diet ordered by a physician, practitioner, or dietician as
part of treatment for a disease or clinical condition, to modify specific nutrients in the diet, or to alter the
texture of a diet. Review of the facility's document titled Diet Roster Rollup (undated) showed 166 of 168
residents residing in the facility received food prepared in the kitchen. Medical record review for Resident
132 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 132 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident
132's Nutrition assessment dated [DATE], showed a recommendation by the registered dietician to place
Resident 132 on a fortified diet for weight stabilization. Review of Resident 132's Order Summary Report
dated 8/22/25, showed a physician's order dated 7/2/25, to provide Resident 132 with a fortified, high
protein diet with regular texture and thin liquids consistency. On 8/18/25 at 1203 hours, LVNs 5 and 8 were
observed outside of the kitchen checking the residents' lunch trays on the meal cart. LVN 5 stated she was
checking if the diet was correct and if the resident got the correct drinks. On 8/18/25 at 1323 hours,
Resident 132 was in her room with her lunch tray placed in front of her. Resident 132's lunch meal ticket
showed she would receive a fortified, high protein diet with regular texture. Resident 132's lunch meal ticket
additionally showed she would receive the soup [NAME] jour (soup of the day) and the super soup.
Resident 132's meal tray was only observed with one soup, the soup [NAME] jour. On 8/18/25 at 1328
hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 15. CNA 15 verified Resident 132
did not receive the super soup as shown on her meal ticket. On 8/18/25 at 1322 hours, an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with the DSS. The DSS stated Resident 132 should have received the
super soup instead of the soup of the day, and the super soup was served to the residents with the fortified
diets. The DSS stated if the resident had both the soup of the day and the super soup ordered, then the
resident should only receive the super soup.

medication on the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record).
Residents Affected - Some
On 8/21/25 at 1259 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 174 was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated for the administration of the narcotic medications, the licensed
nurses should document on the controlled drug record, the date, time, and licensed nurse’s initials
upon removal of the narcotic medication. The DON stated after the licensed nurse completed the
administration of the narcotic medication to the resident, the licensed nurse should document the
administration of the medication in the resident’s MAR. The DON reviewed Resident 174’s
medical record and verified the above findings.
On 8/25/25 at 1044 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.
2. Medical record review for Resident 169 was initiated on 8/19/25. Resident 169 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 169's Documentation Survey Report dated 8/19/25, showed the following:
- On 7/8, 7/10, and 7/29/25, the RNA Active Range of Motion (AROM) for the right upper extremity (RUE)
and left extremity, scheduled three times per week, was documented with code 97 (Not Applicable) for
Resident 169.
- On 7/2, 7/8, 7/10, and 7/29/25, the RNA Passive Range of Motion (PROM) for the left upper extremity,
scheduled three times per week, was documented with code 97.
- On 7/29/25, the RNA application of a resting hand splint to the left hand for 6 to 8 hours as tolerated, five
times per week, was documented with code 97.
On 8/19/25 at 1015 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review were conducted with RNA 1.
When asked about the RNA documentation for Resident 169, RNA 1 stated he provided the following
interventions to Resident 169: AROM for the right upper extremity, PROM for the left upper extremity, and
application of a hand splint to the left hand. RNA 1 was asked about the use of code 97 in the
documentation. RNA 1 stated that it was likely miscoded and should have been documented as code 98,
indicating the resident refused the interventions. RNA 1 further explained the CNA documentation was
marked as not applicable because the tasks were not within the CNA's scope. When the CNAs documented
code 97, the RNA staff were unable to override or correct it. RNA 1 acknowledged this was an ongoing
issue at the facility and verified the above findings.
3. Medical record review for Resident 3 was initiated on 8/19/25. Resident 3 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 3’s H&P examination dated 7/20/25, showed Resident 3 had no capacity to

provide Nepro (enteral feeding formula) via G-tube for a total of 700 ml/20 hr 1260 Kcal at rate of 35 cc/hr x
20 hrs or until dose met for every shift.
On 8/18/25 at 1226 hours, Resident 3 was observed sitting in a wheelchair with a disconnected GT feeding.
The enteral feeding pump (GT machine) was turned off.
On 8/19/25 at 1325 hours, Resident 3 was observed in bed with the GT connected, but the enteral feeding
pump was turned off.
On 8/19/25 at 1330 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1.
LVN 1 stated Resident 3’s enteral feeding pump was off because almost all the enteral GT feedings
for the residents in the facility are started at 1400 hours. LVN 1 reviewed Resident 3’s enteral
feeding orders and verified the order should have had a specified start time.
On 8/20/25 at 1130 hours, an observation of Resident 3 and a concurrent interview was conducted with
LVN 1. LVN 1 verified the GT feeding was still running for Resident 3. LVN 1 stated on the prior evening,
new enteral feed orders were entered for Resident 3 adjusting the feeding rate. LVN 1 showed the new
enteral feeding rate was set on the enteral feeding pump. LVN 1 stated the GT feeding was paused several
times throughout the night, so the GT feeding would continue until dose was complete or change the bottle
at 1400 hours and start the new GT feeding per the physician’s order.
On 8/21/25 at 0934 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 3.
RN 3 verified there was no start time specified in Resident 3’s enteral feeding order. RN 3 verified all
the enteral feeding orders should have a start time.
On 8/21/25 at 1002 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON verified there was no start time specified in Resident 3’s enteral feeding order. The
DON verified Resident 3’s enteral feeding order was incorrect because it did not specify the start
time.

1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Surveillance for Healthcare-Associated Infections revised 4/2012
showed the purpose of the surveillance of infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of
epidemiologically significant organisms and Healthcare-Associated Infections, to permit interventions, and
to prevent future infections. After removing duplicates and negative reports, prioritize the reports as follows:
a. Multidrug-resistant reports (All multidrug-resistant reports require immediate attention. Ensure that
appropriate precautions, if needed, are in place. If this is a new or unexpected report notify the
Administrator, Director of Nursing Services, and Medical Director, b. Blood cultures. Wound cultures if there
are corresponding signs and symptoms that indicate infection, d. Appropriately collected positive sputum
cultures. e. Urine cultures combined with urinalysis results that show a urinary tract infection, and
corresponding signs and symptoms of infection are present.

Review of the facility’s Infection Control Committee Meeting minutes dated 7/30/25, showed
mapping data indicating four residents were listed as not meeting McGeer’s criteria. There were no
in-house residents with MDROs, and four cases were community-acquired.
On 8/21/25 at 0900 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the IP.
The IP stated she conducted rounds, reviewed new antibiotic orders, and monitored infections to determine
whether they originated upon admission or developed in-house. The IP stated she documented this
information on the line listing. The IP verified she was unable to locate the infection surveillance log or line
listings for January, February, March, and April 2025. The IP further stated she began documenting
antibiotic use and infections starting 5/16/25. The IP stated during the Infection Control Committee Meeting
on 6/4/25, there were four residents identified whose antibiotic use did not meet McGeer’s criteria.
The IP further stated during the Infection Control Committee Meeting on 7/30/25, there were two residents
identified whose antibiotic use did not meet McGeer’s criteria. The IP acknowledged the
discrepancies for the May and June 2025 line listings not matching the number of residents on the
committee meeting minutes. The IP stated for June 2025, there were three residents given antibiotics for
prophylaxis, but the computer system incorrectly categorized them as not meeting McGeer’s criteria
and did not allow her to make corrections. The IP further stated she reported MDRO cases for May and
June 2025 and acknowledged the discrepancies between the MDRO line listing and the number of MDRO
infections reported to the Infection Control Committee. The IP stated there were challenges in navigating
and analyzing the data collection entered in the line listings for May, June, and July 2025, due to the
automatic data generated by the computer system. The IP stated she included the MDRO override under
the resident who had a UTI. The IP verified the findings.
On 8/21/25 at 1100 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated she was unable to
locate the antibiotic line listings or infection surveillance logs from January through April 2025. The DON
verified these findings.

Administrator were informed of the above findings.
b. On 8/19/25 at 1215 hours, a concurrent interview and facility document review was conducted with the IP.
Review of the facility's May, June, and July 2025 QAPI minutes with the IP showed the facility had MDRO
infections. The Infection Control Monitoring Graphs related to the organisms showed a high incidence of the
E. Coli organism and the proteus mirabilis organism. There was no documented evidence of any
recommendations to address the high incidence of E. Coli and proetues miraabilis in the residents.
Furthermore, there was no documented evidence of follow up post report of MDRO infections from May to
July 2025 in the Infection Control Committee Minutes. The IP verified the findings.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement
the facility's antibiotic stewardship program. * The facility failed to ensure the residents' physicians were
informed when the residents who received antibiotics (Residents 190 and 191) did not meet the McGeer's
Criteria, as documented for May 2025 line listing. In addition, the facility failed to follow-up on the urine
laboratory results for one sampled resident (Resident 37) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 28), as
documented for June 2025 line listing to determine if the antibiotic use met the McGeer's criteria. This
failure had the potential for inaccurately identifying for true infections and potentially inhibiting the residents'
physicians from discontinuing unnecessary antibiotic treatments.Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship dated 12/2024 showed the purpose of the antibiotic
stewardship program is to monitor the use of antibiotics in our residents. Orientation, training and education
of staff will emphasize the importance of antibiotic stewardship and will include how inappropriate use of
antibiotics affects individual residents and the overall community. When a culture and sensitivity (C&S) is
ordered lab results and the current clinical situation will be communicated to the prescriber as soon as
available to determine if antibiotic therapy should be started, continued, modified, or discontinued.
Further review of the facility’s P&P showed when a resident is admitted from the emergency
department, acute care facility, or other care facility, the admitting nurse will review discharge and transfer
paperwork for current antibiotic/anti-infective orders.
Review of the facility’s surveillance log for May 2025 showed two nonsampled residents (Residents
190 and 191) received antibiotics when the residents did not meet the McGeer’s Criteria for true
infection.
Review of the surveillance log for June 2025 showed one nonsampled resident (Residents 28) and one

appropriate antibiotic use, and to reduce unnecessary treatments. When the IP was asked to provide the
surveillance logs for January, February, March, and April 2025 which included the antibiotic use in the
facility, the IP stated she had asked the DON and other staff, however, they were unable to locate the
surveillance logs for those months. The IP further stated the previous IP did not provide her with any
documentation. The current IP began documenting antibiotic use and infections as of 5/16/25.
Residents Affected - Few
In addition, the IP was asked whether Residents 190 and 191’s physicians were informed about the
residents who received antibiotics when the residents did not meet the McGeer’s Criteria for true
infection. The IP stated the licensed nurses should have informed the physician in such cases, however, the
IP was unable to locate any documentation to confirm the information provided. The IP was also asked
whether the physicians were informed about the urine culture results for Residents 28 and 37, and whether
there was any follow-up about repeat urine culture for Resident 28 and awaiting UA results for Resident 37.
The IP stated the licensed nurses should have informed and followed up with the physician, however, the IP
was not able to find documentation the physicians were notified. The IP verified the findings.
On 08/21/25 at 1100 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated she was unable to
locate the antibiotic line listings or infection surveillance logs for January through April 2025. The DON
verified the findings.
On 08/25/25 at 1000 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator
and DON were informed of the above findings.

Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and
mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate and complete for three of four final
sampled residents (Residents 8, 72, and 130) reviewed for the grab bar use. * The facility failed to ensure
the entrapment assessments of the grab bars were accurate and complete for Residents 8, 72, and 130. In
addition, the quarterly entrapment assessments were not completed for the listed residents. This failure had
the potential to negatively impact the residents, resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and
death.Findings:
According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment by
the Food and Drug Administration issued on 3/10/06, the term entrapment describes an event in which a
patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital
bed frame. Patient entrapment may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have
occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between
split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to
entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who
have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is potential for
entrapment are:
- Zone 1: within the rail;
- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;
- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;
- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;
- Zone 5: between split bed rails;
- Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and
- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Safety and Bed Rail revised on 8/2022 showed the following:
- Regardless of mattress type, width, length, and/or depth, the bed frame, bed rail, and mattress will leave
no gap wide enough to entrap a resident’s head or body. Any gaps in the bed system are within the
safety dimensions established by the FDA;
- Maintenance staff routinely inspect all beds and related equipment to identify risks and problems including
potential entrapment risks;
- The maintenance department provides a copy of inspections to the administrator and report results to the
QAPI committee for appropriate action. Copies if the results and QAPI committee recommendations are
maintained by the administrator and /or safety committee.
