Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to follow the facility's policy on Advance Directives (AD, a legal
document that informs healthcare providers what kind of care a person would want to receive if the
individual was unable to speak for self) to ensure a current copy of a resident's AD was in the medical chart
for one of three sampled resident (Resident 288).
This failure had the potential for Resident 288's AD to not be followed by the facility staff.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 288's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 288 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (UTI, occurs when bacteria enters
the urethra [tube through which urine leaves the body] and multiply), hyperlipidemia (high levels of
cholesterol in the blood), and constipation (stool becomes hard and difficult to pass).
During a review of Resident 288's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 5/8/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 288 was alert and oriented to person,
place, and time. The H&P indicated Resident 288 had both an Advance Directive and Physician Orders for
Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, form completed by a physician that gives people with serious illnesses
control over own care by specifying types of medical treatment the individual would want to receive during
serious illness. A POLST does not replace an AD but provides guidance for healthcare providers in the
case of an emergency).
During a review of Resident 288's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 5/20/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 288's cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and
process information) were intact.
During a review of Resident 288's Advance Directive/POLST Acknowledgement form (ADPA), dated
5/8/2024, the ADPA form indicated Resident 288 had executed an AD or POLST form and AD was circled
out in the ADPA form.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/5/2024 at 11:14 AM with the Social Services Director
(SSD), Resident 288's ADPA form was reviewed. The ADPA form indicated Resident 288 had executed an
AD or a POLST form. SSD stated the ADPA form for Resident 288 was not specific if the resident had an
AD or a POLST. SSD stated the ADPA form should be specific because the resident's AD form could be
missed. SSD stated a current copy of the AD form was not in Resident 288's medical chart and

only a copy of the POLST was listed in the medical chart. SSD stated the risk of not having a current copy
of the AD was that the wishes of the resident would not be respected if the AD was different from the
POLST. SSD stated the ADPA form should specify if the resident had a POLST or AD so staff could inform
the resident of the right to create an AD.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:33 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated an AD
needed to be placed in the front of each resident's medical chart. The DON stated if the AD was not placed
in Resident 288's chart, the risk was that Resident 288's wishes would not be honored.
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directives the P&P
indicated prior to or upon admission of a resident, the SSD or designee will inquire of the resident, his/her
family members and or his or her legal representatives about the existence of any written advance
directives. The P&P indicated information about whether the resident has executed an AD shall be
displayed prominently in the medical record.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide privacy during a bed bath to
one of one sampled resident (Resident 28.)
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause embarrassment and lowered self-esteem for Resident 28.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 28's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident
on 12/10/2023, with diagnoses that included dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability
to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning) and epilepsy (brain disorder in
which a person has repeated seizures (convulsions) over time).
During a review of Resident 28's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 1/24/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (ability to
understand). The MDS indicated Resident 28 was dependent with showers, self-bathing and toileting and
required moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance with bed mobility.
During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 10:03 am to 10:30 am, Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6) gave
Resident 28 a bed bath. CNA 6 started the procedure by removing Resident 28's clothes. There was a
blanket covering the lower part of the resident's body. CNA 6 washed Resident 28's face, neck, chest,
abdomen and under the breast and dried the areas with a towel. CNA 6 then removed the blanket covering
the lower part of the resident's body and removed Resident 28's adult brief. Resident 28's upper body was
not covered while CNA 6 washed the resident's perineal area using the same water used to wash Resident
28's upper body. Resident 28 was still not covered when CNA 6 asked Resident 28 to turn to wash the
resident's back. Resident 28 was still not covered when another CNA entered the room to go to Resident
28's roommate's bed. The privacy curtain separating Resident 28 and Resident 28's roommate was open.
During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:31 am, CNA 6 stated Resident 28 was exposed during the time CNA
6 washed other areas of Resident 28's body and when another CNA entered the room. CNA 6 stated she
needed to close the curtain on the other side even if the roommate was not present so Resident 28 would
not be exposed in case someone entered the room.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Giving a Bed Bath, the P&P
indicated to wash only one part of the body at a time. Wash, rinse, and dry each part well. Cover each area
as you complete the procedure. The P&P indicated to change the bath water as often as necessary during
the bath, before washing the legs, back and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to transmit assessments within 14 days of
completion for 23 of 23 sampled residents (Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52,
56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80).
Residents Affected - Some
This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate facility information submitted to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, federal agency that works with the health care community to
improve quality, equity, and outcomes in the health care system) and would affect the quality of care to the
residents.
Findings:
During record review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
3.0 Final Validation Report, the MDS 3.0 Final Validation Report indicated it was submitted on 6/6/2024 for
Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52, 56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80.
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 8:46 AM with the MDS Nurse, the MDS Nurse stated the Assistant
Administrator (AADM) was responsible for transmitting the MDS assessments to CMS.
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 9:22 AM with the AADM, the AADM stated the AADM was part of the
MDS staff and stated MDS assessments for 23 residents (Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35,
41, 49, 52, 56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80) were not transmitted within the 14 days of completion.
The AADM stated each resident would have a different due date based on the type of assessment. The
AADM stated the risk of not submitting the MDS assessments timely would create inaccurate information
and could affect the facility star rating and quality. AADM stated the AADM did not realize the MDS
assessments were due for 23 residents and missed the transmission due dates.
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 1:28 PM with the AADM, the AADM stated the facility has not trained
other MDS staff on how to transmit MDS assessments to CMS.
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P), the P&P indicated MDS staff were
responsible for transmitting MDS data timely in accordance with the MDS RAI Instruction Manual.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed implement its policy and procedure
(P&P) on Translation and Interpretation services to ensure needs and questions from the resident with
limited English proficiency (LEP) were addressed by staff for one of one sampled resident (Resident 289).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to not meet Resident 289's needs.
Findings:
During a review of Resident's 289 admission Record (AR) the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
289 on 5/10/2024 with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (bone in front of the spine
collapsing forming a wedge shape) of first lumbar vertebra (bones in spine to provide support to the body),
unspecified hearing loss, and a history of falling.
During a review of Resident 289's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 5/11/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 289 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 289's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 5/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 289's preferred language was Chinese.
During a review of Resident 289's untitled care plan (CP), dated 5/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 289
had a communication problem related to being hard of hearing. The CP intervention indicated for staff to
assess for adequate communication.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:29 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) in Resident 289's room, Resident 289 called out in Spanish, Enfermera as LVN 1 walked out of
Resident 289's room. LVN 1 stated Resident 289 was calling for a family member and stated Resident 289
spoke Chinese and Spanish languages. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 pointed to body parts to communicate to
Resident 289 when passing medications. LVN 1 stated there was no way to ensure Resident 289 would
understand the purpose of the medication if LVN 1 pointed to various body parts. LVN 1 stated there was
no communication board at the bedside to communicate simple phrases to Resident 289. LVN 1 stated
Resident 289's need would not be met if there were no tools to help communicate with the resident in a
language the resident can understand.
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 9:32 AM with the Activities Director (AD), the AD stated the facility had
four communication boards in Spanish, Arabic, Filipino, and Mandarin. The AD stated the AD was
responsible for passing out the boards to residents who cannot communicate in English and the
communication boards needed to be at the bedside. The AD stated residents and staff would not be able to
communicate with each other and resident's needs would not be met if the communication boards were not
at the bedside, readily available to use.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Translation and/or Interpretation of Facility Services the
P&P indicated the facility would ensure that individuals with LEP would have meaningful access to
information and services provided by the facility. The P&P indicated the facility required LEP resident's
needs and questions were accurately communicated to the staff.

289).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in fall or injury to Resident 289 who had a history of falling.
Findings:
During a review of Resident's 289 admission Record (AR) the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
289 on 5/10/2024 with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (bone in front of the spine
collapsing forming a wedge shape) of first lumbar vertebra (bones in spine to provide support to the body),
unspecified hearing loss, and a history of falling.
During a review of Resident 289's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 5/11/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 289 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 289s untitled CP, dated 5/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 289 required
assistance in activities of daily living (ADL) and indicated for staff to provide help or assistance as needed.
During a review of Resident 289's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 5/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 289 cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and
process information) were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 289 required maximal assistance with sitting
on the side of the bed and required moderate assistance with sit to stand and toilet transfers.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/5/2024 at 9:55 AM with Resident 289 in Resident 289's
room, the call light was observed to be on from 9:55 AM to 10:26 AM. Resident 289 stated Resident 289
needed help to use the restroom and had been waiting for a long time for staff to come. Resident 289
stated a nurse (unidentified) came inside her room and did not come back to assist Resident 289 to the
restroom.
During an interview on 6/5/2024 at 10:59 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5), CNA 5 stated call
lights needed to be answered as soon as possible. CNA 5 stated it was not acceptable for residents to wait
30 minutes for assistance to use the restroom. CNA 5 stated the risk of not responding to call lights in a
timely manner was that the resident could get up to use the restroom and the resident could fall or sustain
an injury.
During an interview on 6/5/2024 at 9:44 AM with the Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN Sup1), RN Sup 1
stated if the resident's call light was on, staff needed to check on the resident and respond within three to
five minutes. RN Sup 1 stated it was not acceptable if Resident 289 waited 30 minutes for assistance to use
the restroom. RN Sup 1 stated Resident 289 would get out of bed without assistance and fall if the
resident's call light was not answered timely.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure interventions were developed and
implemented to address the resident's positioning preference for one of one sampled resident (Resident
16.) Resident 16 had a non-healing wound to the left lateral (side) ankle and left medial (middle) ankle and
Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to delay wound healing for Resident 16.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 16's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident
on 7/27/2021 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included benign neoplasm of endocrine
pancreas (non-cancerous tumors of the pancreas) and infection and inflammatory reaction (pain, swelling,
and discomfort) due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts (medical devices or
tissues placed inside or on the surface of the body).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 8/4/2023, the MDS indicated the resident had moderate cognitive (ability to understand)
impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was totally dependent with toilet use and required extensive
assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) with bed mobility. The MDS
indicated Resident 16 had open lesions on the foot with skin and ulcer/injury treatments including pressure
reducing device for the bed, turning and repositioning program.
During an observation on 6/4/2024, the following were observed:
At 10:46 am, Resident 16 was asleep on her back with her legs curled upwards to the waist with the legs
towards the left side.
At 12:40 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 1:10 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 2:45 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
During an observation on 6/5/2024, the following were observed:
At 8:50 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's left side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 11:16 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 1:00 pm, Resident 16 had a pillow on the resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.

During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 2:50 pm with Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6), CNA 6 stated she
would reposition the resident to the right side, but Resident 16 would go back to stay on the left side. CNA 6
stated Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side. CNA 6 stated other CNAs also confirmed Resident 16
preferred to lie on her left side.
During an observation on 6/7/2024 at 8:22 am, CNA 5 and RNA 2 provided incontinent (management for
incontinence [inability to control urine or stool]) care to Resident 16. Resident 16 tolerated turning to her
right side with no signs and symptoms of pain. There was an intact dressing to the left lateral ankle and left
medial ankle.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:38 pm, Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN
Sup 2) removed the pillow positioned on Resident 16's left side. Resident 16 was still positioned towards
the left side. RN Sup 2 stated Resident 16 would still position herself towards the left side because that was
her preference. RN Sup stated staff should position the resident to a different position other than the left
side. RN Sup 2 stated the facility needed to use other alternatives to position Resident 16 to face the right
side or supine such as using two pillows instead of just one pillow or using other positioning device such as
bolsters to keep her off the left side most of the time.
During a wound observation on 6/10/2024 at 8:39 am, there was an open wound to the left lateral and left
medial ankle with a metal visible from inside the wound.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 3:05 pm, the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) stated Resident 16 needed to
be repositioned and not lie on the left side all the time. WCN stated Resident 16 needed to get up to the
chair more often instead of lying in bed most of the time and offload the area where the wound was located.
The WCN stated Resident 16 preferred to stay on her left side. The WCN did not respond when asked what
would happen to the wound if Resident 16 was lying on one side for an extended period of time.
During a review of Resident 16's untitled care plans, the care plans indicated the following:
On 3/13/2022, Resident 16 had a left ankle open skin with interventions that included to offload foot. The
care plan was resolved.
On 10/13/2023, Resident 16 had an infected hardware on the resident's left lower extremity with
interventions to administer antibiotics (medication to treat infection).
On 11/30/2023, Resident 16 had left lateral and medial surgical wound. There were no interventions
developed for Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located.
On 2/25/2024, Resident 16 had an infected left lateral ankle. There were no interventions developed for
Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located.
On 5/29/2024, Resident 16 had a left medial ankle surgical wound. There were no interventions developed
for Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Wound Care, the P&P indicated
to review the resident's care plan to assess for any special needs of the resident.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
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 care and services was provided to
prevent pressure ulcer (lesion/wound caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage of underlying
tissue) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 16.) Resident 16 developed redness at the base of the
left lateral toe and redness at the base of the right big toe.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for the development of pressure ulcer.
Cross Reference: F684
Findings:
During a review of Resident 16's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident
on 7/27/2021 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included benign neoplasm of endocrine
pancreas (non-cancerous tumors of the pancreas) and infection and inflammatory reaction (pain, swelling,
and discomfort) due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts (medical devices or
tissues placed inside or on the surface of the body).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 8/4/2023, the MDS indicated the resident had moderate cognitive (ability to understand)
impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was totally dependent with toilet use and required extensive
assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) with bed mobility. The MDS
indicated Resident 16 had open lesions on the foot with skin and ulcer/injury treatments including pressure
reducing device for the bed, turning and repositioning program.
During an observation on 6/4/2024, the following were observed:
At 10:46 am, Resident 16 was asleep on her back with her legs curled upwards to the waist with the legs
towards the left side.
At 12:40 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 1:10 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 2:45 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side.
During an observation on 6/5/2024, the following were observed:
At 8:50 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's left side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 11:16 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.
At 1:00 pm, Resident 16 had a pillow on the resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.

At 2:37 pm, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 2:50 pm with Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6), CNA 6 stated she
would reposition the resident to the right side, but Resident 16 would go back to stay on the left side. CNA 6
stated Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side. CNA 6 stated other CNAs also confirmed Resident 16
preferred to lie on her left side.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 6/7/2024 at 8:22 am, CNA 5 and RNA 2 provided incontinent (management for
incontinence [inability to control urine or stool]) care to Resident 16. Resident 16 tolerated turning to her
right side with no signs and symptoms of pain. There was redness at the base of the left lateral toe and the
base of the right big toe of Resident 16.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:38 pm, Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN
Sup 2) removed the pillow positioned on Resident 16's left side. Resident 16 was still positioned towards
the left side. RN Sup 2 stated Resident 16 would still position herself towards the left side because that was
her preference. RN Sup stated staff should position the resident to a different position other than the left
side. There was blanchable redness at the base of the left lateral toe and the base of the right big toe of
Resident 16.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 3:05 pm, the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) stated Resident 16 needed to
be repositioned and not lie on the left side all the time. WCN stated Resident 16 needed to get up to the
chair more often instead of lying in bed most of the time and offload the area where the wound was located.
The WCN stated Resident 16 preferred to stay on her left side. The WCN did not respond when asked what
would happen to the wound if Resident 16 was lying on one side for an extended period of time.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Prevention of Pressure Ulcers,
the P&P indicated pressure ulcers were usually formed when a resident remained in the same position for
an extended period of time causing increased pressure or a decrease of circulation (blood flow) to that area
and subsequent destruction of tissue. The most common site of a pressure ulcer was where the bone was
near the surface of the body including the back of the head, around the ears, elbows, shoulder blades,
backbone, hips, knees, heels, ankles, and toes. For a person in bed, change position at least every two
hours or more frequently if needed. For residents with a risk factor of lowered mental awareness, choose
preventive actions appropriate to individual risk factors and adjust for cognitive impairment of the resident,
adjust for any limitations in resident's understanding of instructions or ability to participate in preventive
actions.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) on Restorative
Services (care designed to improve or maintain the functional ability of residents) to provide restorative
services in accordance with Medical Doctor's (MD-physician) order for one of four sampled residents
(Resident 2).
This failure had the potential to result in a decrease in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a
joint [where two bones meet]) in Resident 2's bilateral (both) legs.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included spinal stenosis (narrowing of
spinal canal in lower part of the back) of the lumbar region (lower part of the back) and bilateral artificial
knee joints.
During a review of Resident 2's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 8/6/2021, the CP indicated Resident 2
required variable assistance with activities of daily living (ADL, basic tasks that include eating, dressing,
getting in or out of bed or a chair, taking a bath or shower, and using the toilet). The CP indicated for the
RNA to ambulate Resident 2 daily, five times a week as tolerated.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 3/30/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and process
information) were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 used a wheelchair and required moderate
assistance with walking.
During a review of Resident 2's Order Details (OD) dated 6/21/2023 at 5:12 PM, the OD indicated Resident
2 had MD order for Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA, performs transfers, bed mobility, positioning, ROM,
and general strengthening exercises) program for ambulation (walking) every five days a week. The OD
indicated one time a day every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/7/2024 at 7:54 AM with Restorative Nursing Aide
(help residents maintain their function and mobility) 1 (RNA 1), Resident 2's Treatment Administration
Record (TAR) dated 5/2024 was reviewed. Resident 2's TAR indicated blank spaces for RNA program for
ambulation on 5/2/2024, 5/13/2024, 5/21/2024, and 5/27/2024. RNA 1 stated the blank spaces in Resident
2's TAR indicated treatment was not performed. RNA 1 stated if the resident refused it would be
documented as refused. RNA 1 stated the risk of not performing treatment as ordered was that there could
be a decrease in Resident 2's ROM and not following MD's orders.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:31 AM with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated blank spaces in
Resident 2's TAR on 5/2/2024, 5/13/2024, 5/21/2024, and 5/27/2024 indicated the task was not completed.
The DON stated, not performing RNA exercises per MD order placed the resident at risk for contractures
(permanent stiffness in a joint) or a decline in ADL function.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Restorative Services, the P&P indicated staff to assist residents
to carry out the prescribed physical therapy exercises between visits of the physical

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 had an environment free of
accident hazards (risks) for two of four residents (Residents 8 and 36) who were smokers (tobacco users)
by failing to:
1. Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, for Residents 8 and 36 who did
not have smoking privileges to smoke with staff supervision, and for staff to keep Residents 8 and 36's
smoking articles including cigarettes and cigarette lighters for Residents 8 and 36.
2. Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, to evaluate Resident 8's ability
to smoke safely with the consultation from the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) and Resident 8's
Attending Physician when safety restriction for smoking was needed in accordance with facility's Safe
Smoking Evaluation Form.
3. Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, not to allow Resident 36 smoked
in an area with an oxygen (gas needed for breathing, when combined with fuel, it released heat and
generated combustion/ignition/fire) machine present in Resident 36's room.
4. Implement Resident 36's untitled Care Plan (CP), dated 5/25/2024 indicating not to allow Resident 36 to
have cigarettes and lighters on her possession, and for Resident 36 to dispose cigarettes in the proper
receptacle (facility's ashtrays).
5. Implement Resident 36's smoking intervention in Resident 36's Smoking Evaluation (SE) form, dated
3/27/2024 indicating Resident 36 had poor vision and required supervision when smoking.
These failures had the potential for Resident 8 and Resident 36 to turn on the lighters, cause a fire that
could affect the health, safety, and wellbeing of all 90 residents in the facility, facility staff and visitors and
result in serious harm, injuries, hospitalization, and death.
On 6/4/2024 at 5:15 pm, while onsite at the facility, the survey team called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ, a
situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused,
or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) situation regarding the facility's
failure to ensure Residents 8 and 36, who were smokers, had an environment that was free of accident
hazard by allowing both residents to have cigarettes and cigarette lighters in possession inside their rooms.
Resident 8 was on Seroquel (an antipsychotic [medicine to treat mental illness] medication) for hearing
voices telling him to hurt himself and others in the facility. Resident 36's roommate had an oxygen machine
used whenever necessary (PRN) with a posted Danger sign in red color that indicated, Oxygen, No
Smoking, No Open Flames posted outside Resident 36's room. The IJ was called in the presence of the
facility's Administrator (ADM) and DON.
On 6/6/2024, at 4:06 pm, the facility submitted an acceptable IJ Removal Plan ([IJRP] a plan with
interventions to correct the deficient practice). While onsite at the facility, the survey team verified and
confirmed the facility's implementation of the IJRP through observation, interview, and record review. The
survey team determined an IJ situation was no longer present and removed the IJ situation on 6/6/2024 at
6:19 pm in the presence of the DON.

be a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled) hold due to confusion, agitation, wanting
to commit suicide, threatening to kill the DON and threatening to blow up the hospital.
During a review of Resident 8's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 6/3/2024, the OSR indicated for
licensed staff to administer Seroquel (antipsychotic drug) 100 milligram ([mg] unit of measurement) one
tablet in the morning, and three tablets at bedtime by mouth, daily for paranoid schizophrenia to Resident 8,
as manifested by hearing voices telling Resident 8 to hurt himself and others.
During a review of Resident 8's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 6/3/2024 through
6/10/2024, the MAR indicated Resident 8 received Seroquel 100 mg one tablet at 9 a.m., and three tablets
at 10 p.m. by mouth every day from 6/3/2024 through 6/10/2024.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:58 am, Resident 8 stated he just came
back from a smoke break in the patio. Resident 8 stated he smoked in the patio by himself without staff
supervision. Resident 8 had one opened pack of cigarette with 17 cigarettes, three disposable lighters on
Resident 8's bedside table, and three unopened packs of cigarettes in Resident 8's cabinet drawer.
Resident 8 demonstrated the three cigarette lighters were working (lighting up). Resident 8 stated he was a
smoker and consumed 20 cigarettes per day (one pack of cigarette per day). Resident 8 stated staff
(unable to recall the name) gave him the cigarettes and lighters (unable to recall the date) so he could
smoke anytime without asking for the cigarettes and lighters from staff. Resident 8 stated he had been
smoking without staff supervision (did not indicate timeframe).
During a concurrent observation and interview with the DON in Resident 8's room on 6/4/2024 at 11:02 am,
the DON stated she did not know why Resident 8 had four packs of cigarettes (one opened and three
unopened) with three disposables lighters in Resident 8's room. The DON stated Resident 8 had not been
evaluated for safe smoking and had no plan of care (CP) to address smoking when she checked Resident
8's medical record at around 10 am this morning (6/4/2024). The DON stated Resident 8 should not be in
possession of cigarettes and lighters because it was an accident hazard. The DON stated the lighter could
cause burns (damage to the skin caused by fire) to Resident 8 or cause fire in the facility. The DON stated
Resident 8 could not smoke without staff supervision due to Resident 8's behavior of hearing voices telling
him to hurt himself and others in the facility.
During an interview with the Social Services Director (SSD), and concurrent review of Resident 8's SE
form, dated 6/4/2024, on 6/4/2024 at 2 pm, Resident 8's SE form indicated Resident 8 was not safe to have
cigarette lighter in Resident 8's room and Resident 8 needed to be supervised by staff during smoke break.
The SSD stated she was responsible for evaluation for all smokers, including Resident 8 in the facility. The
SSD stated Resident 8 should not have cigarettes and lighter in Resident 8's possession and should be
supervised by staff when smoking. The SSD stated she has not completed the SE for Resident 8 until this

Supervisor 1 (RN Sup 1) in Resident 36's room, an oxygen machine was next to Resident 36's roommate
bed. A sign was posted outside Resident 36's door with red text that indicated Danger, Oxygen, No
Smoking, No Open Flame. RN Sup 1 stated there was an oxygen machine in Resident 36's room and a
Danger Sign was posted outside Resident 36's room. RN Sup 1 stated Resident 36 would smoke alone,
outside in the patio in front of Resident 36's room. RN Sup 1 stated RN Sup 1 was unsure if Resident 36
could keep cigarettes and cigarette lighters at Resident 36's bedside. RN sup 1 stated RN sup 1 was
unaware if Resident 36 could smoke unsupervised.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/4/2024 at 11:16 am with RN Sup 1, Resident 36's
untitled CP, dated 5/25/2024 was reviewed. The CP indicated Resident 36 required supervision during
smoking and staff to instruct and educate Resident 36 that cigarettes and lighters were not allowed in
Resident 36's possession. RN Sup 1 stated it was a fire hazard having a lighter at Resident 36's bedside or
in Resident 36's possession because Resident 36's roommate had an oxygen machine in the room. RN
Sup 1 stated Resident 36 needed supervision during smoking according to Resident 36's CP. RN Sup 1
stated Resident 36 needed to use the ashtray that was provided in the patio because the plastic bottle
could catch fire when the cigarette butt was not extinguished (put out) completely.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 on 11:36 am with CNA 4 in Resident 36's room,
there were seven disposable lighters, one unopened cigarette pack (20 cigarettes/pack) and one opened
cigarette pack with two and half cigarettes in the box. CNA 4 stated all seven disposable lighters were
functional. CNA 4 stated CNA 4 was unsure when Resident 36 got the seven lighters and kept them in
Resident 36's room.
During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 4:56 pm with the DON, the DON stated cigarette lighters should not be
at Resident 36's bedside especially when there was an oxygen machine in Resident 36's room because it
could cause an explosion or fire. The DON stated staff needed to remove the lighters immediately from
Resident 36 for Resident 36 and other residents' (other residents in the facility) safety. The DON stated
Resident 36 needed supervision during smoking according to Resident 36's CP and SE form. The DON
stated Resident 36's safety would be at risk when staff did not provide supervision during smoking. The
DON stated residents who smoke (smokers in general) needed to use the ashtrays to dispose cigarette
butts appropriately. The DON stated cigarette butts should not be placed inside of a used plastic bottle
because it could cause fire when cigarette butts were not extinguished completely.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, the
P&P indicated Residents without independent smoking privileges may not have or keep any smoking
articles, including cigarettes, tobacco, etc. The P&P indicated Ashtrays are emptied into designated
receptacles and the use of oxygen is prohibited in smoking areas. The P&P indicated Residents who
smoked (smokers) needed to be evaluated on admission to determine if the residents had the ability to
smoke safety with or without supervision. The P&P indicated Any resident with restricted smoking privileges
requiring monitoring shall have the direct supervision of a staff member, family member, visitor, or volunteer
worker at all times while smoking. The P&P further indicated Staff should consult with the attending
physician and DON to determine if safety restrictions was needed on the residents' smoking privileges
based on Safe Smoking Evaluation.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services for a
resident with foley catheter (FC, thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a bag outside
the body) as indicated in the resident's plan of care for one of two sampled residents (Resident 189).
This failure had the potential to result in catheter-related complications for Resident 189.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 189's admission Records (AR), the AR indicated Resident 189 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (UTI, an illness in any part of the
urinary tract, the system of organs that makes urine) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, prostate gland
enlargement that can cause urination difficulty).
During a review of Resident 189's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident
189 had intact cognition. Resident 189 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does none of
the effort to complete the activity) with toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing.
During a review of Resident 189's untitled Care Plan (CP), dated 6/1/2024, the CP indicated Resident 189
was at risk for infection due to the presence of a foley catheter. The CP interventions included to position to
promote optimum drainage, tape the FC to inside of the thigh securing bag to the side of the bed , below
the level of bladder for proper drainage.
During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 9:26 am inside Resident 189's room, Resident 189 had a FC hanging
on the left side of Resident 189's bed. Resident 189's FC was not secured or taped on the resident's inside
of the thigh, as indicated in the CP.
During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 9:30 am with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN Sup 1), RN Sup 1
stated, Resident 189's FC needed to be secured to prevent accidental pulling causing trauma to the
resident.
During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:46 am with RN Sup 3, RN sup 3 stated, Resident 189's FC should be
anchored with a secured device to prevent pulling or dislodgement during peri-care (washing of genitals
and anal area) causing tear or trauma to the urethra (tube through which urine leaves the body)/ urinary
bladder (body organ that hold urine).
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, the P&P
indicated, Ensure that the catheter remains secured with a leg strap to reduce friction and movement at the
insertion site (Note: Catheter tubing should be strapped to the resident's inner thigh).

provide Resident 64 two liters (unit of measurement) of oxygen continuously through nasal cannula (a
flexible soft tube that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and into the nose) for chronic respiratory failure
(lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood).
During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 9:25 a.m. and 9:50 a.m., Resident 64 was lying on her back in bed
with ongoing oxygen inhalation at two liters per minute through nasal cannula. Resident 64 was asleep, and
the nasal prongs (flexible soft two prongs that go inside the nostrils that deliver oxygen) was under
Resident 64's chin.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:04 a.m., Resident 64 was awake in bed
with ongoing oxygen at two liters per minute while the nasal prongs was under her chin. Resident 64 stated
she fell asleep after eating breakfast and woke up with the nasal prongs under her chin. Resident 64 stated
staff came to see her, but the nasal prongs was not placed back into her nostrils (two openings in the nose)
for her to receive the necessary amount of oxygen she needed. The Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS
1) was present in Resident 64's room and RNS 1 observed the nasal prongs was under Resident 64' chin.
RNS 1 stated RNS 1 did not check Resident 64 for proper placement of nasal prongs when RNS 1 made
rounds at around 9 a.m. today (6/4/2024). RNS 1 stated nasal prongs needed to be properly positioned in
Resident 64's nostrils for Resident 64 to receive adequate amount of oxygen to prevent shortness of
breath, as ordered.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Oxygen Administration, the P & P indicated nasal
cannula should be placed approximately one-half inch in the resident's nose and the licensed nurse should
monitor the placement of cannula at all times.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and
services for residents on oxygen therapy (a treatment that provides with extra oxygen to breathe in) as
ordered by the physician, as indicated in the residents' plan of care and in accordance with the facility's
Policy and Procedure (P&P) on Oxygen Administration for four of seven sampled residents (Residents 2,
31, 64 and 189).
These failures had the potential to result in respiratory complications and infection for Residents 2, 31, 64
and 189.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 189's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
189 on 4/7/2024 with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), morbid obesity (a
disorder that involves having too much body fat) and atherosclerosis of the aorta (a condition that occurs
when plaque builds up on the inner walls of the aorta).

During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's
examination of a patient) dated 12/30/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 2 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 2's untitled CP dated 4/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 2 had oxygen
therapy as needed (PRN) for COPD. The CP indicated for staff to provide oxygen at two liters (L-unit of
measurement) through a nasal canula (NC, device that delivers oxygen through a tube into the nose) PRN.
During a review of Resident 2's OSR dated 4/11/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 2 had an active
physician's order for staff to administer oxygen at two liters per minute through NC, PRN for shortness of
breath (SOB).
During a review of Resident 2's untitled CP dated 4/15/2024, the CP indicated Resident 2 was at risk for
ineffective breathing related to COPD. The CP indicated for staff to administer oxygen at two L via NC as
ordered.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:52 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor
1 (RN Sup 1) in Resident 2's room, an oxygen concentrator machine (medical device used to deliver
oxygen) was at Resident 2's bedside with the NC tubing coiled into a plastic bag. RN Sup 1 stated there
was no date on the oxygen tubing to indicate when it was last changed. RN Sup 1 stated the risk of not
labeling oxygen tubing was that bacteria can grow inside of the NC tubing.
During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 8:36 AM with the IPN, the IPN stated the IPN was responsible for
placing the date on the oxygen tubing and stated all oxygen tubing should be labeled with the date it was
last changed. IPN stated if the oxygen tubing was not labeled, the resident would have an old oxygen tube
with bacteria growth due to moisture accumulating in the tubing.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:30 AM with the facility's' Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
oxygen tubing needed to be replaced every Friday. The DON stated there was an assigned nurse to check if
there was a date on the oxygen tubing. The DON stated oxygen tubing should be dated of when it was
changed and the risk of not having a date on the oxygen tubing was that resident would be inhaling oxygen
through a dirty and old tube.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Oxygen Administration the P&P indicated the NC will be
changed once a week on Fridays and nursing staff will be responsible for changing the resident's NC tubing
and tubing's storage bag. The P&P indicated a label noting the date changed will be adhered to the tubing
and the plastic storage bag.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dialysis emergency kit was
readily available for staff use in case of bleeding in resident's dialysis (a type of treatment that helps the
body remove extra fluid and waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not able to) access site
for two of two sampled residents on dialysis (Residents 44 and 85).
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice placed Residents 44 and 85 at risk for excessive bleeding from dialysis access site.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 85's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
85 on 4/6/2024, with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (a condition that happens when the blood
sugar [glucose] is too high) and dependence on renal dialysis.
During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 11:09 a.m., Resident 85 was lying on his back in bed, alert and
coherent. Resident 85's left upper arm dialysis access site was intact.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN) in Resident 85's room on
6/4/2024 at 11:17 a.m., the TN stated she did not find the dialysis emergency kit of Resident 85 after
looking at Resident 85's bedside table, drawer, and closet. The TN stated dialysis emergency kit should be
readily available at Resident 85's bedside to immediately control the bleeding in the dialysis access site in
an emergency, to prevent excessive blood loss that might result in serious harm and/or death of the
resident.
b. During a review of Resident 44's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 44 on 8/7/2023, with
diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (medical condition in which a person's kidneys cease
functioning on a permanent basis) and dependence on renal dialysis.
During a review of Resident 44's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 5/16/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 44
required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or
contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with bed mobility such as rolling left and right, sit
to lying, lying to sitting on the side of the bed).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 8:46 am, there was no emergency dialysis kit
at the bedside of Resident 44. Registered Nurse Supervisor 4(RN Sup 4) checked inside Resident 44's
drawers and could not find the emergency dialysis kit or emergency dressing kit.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 8:55 am, RN Sup 4 stated the dialysis
emergency kit would be used in cases of bleeding from the dialysis access site. RN Sup 4 stated it was
important to have the emergency dialysis kit readily available to use in case of emergency.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 4:19 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the facility
did not have policies and procedure to keep dialysis emergency kits at the bedside.

Post nurse staffing information every day.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to post accurate nurse staffing
information of actual hours worked by the licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly responsible for
resident care per shift daily. The staffing information was not posted in a prominent location for two of four
days during the recertification survey.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential to mislead the residents and visitors of the actual hours worked by
licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly providing resident care and had the potential to affect the
quality of nursing care provided to the residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 9:30 a.m. and 6/5/2024 at 9 a.m., the facility's
staffing information was posted inside the North Nurses' Station and no staffing information was posted in
the South Nurse's Station of the facility. The staffing information indicated actual hours worked by the
nursing staff on all shifts (7 am-3 pm, 3pm-11 pm and 11 pm-7 am).
During a concurrent interview and review on 6/5/2024 at 10 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD)
stated staffing information was projected actual hours worked by nursing staff on all shifts. The DSD stated
she was not aware staffing information needed to be posted in a prominent location that should be
accessible for review by the residents, family, and visitors to determine if the facility had enough staff to take
care of the residents. The DSD stated staffing information posted inside the North Nurses' Station was not
accessible for residents, family, and visitors because they are not allowed to enter the nurses' station. DSD
stated she was responsible for the nurse staffing information completion and posting at the beginning of
each shift, daily.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled, Posting Direct Care Daily
Staffing Numbers, the P&P indicated staffing information should count only the total number of hours the
staff was scheduled to work for the shift being posted and should be posted in a prominent location by the
Supervisor within two hours of the beginning of each shift.

licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) failed to ensure enteric
coated (barrier to prevent gastric acids in the stomach from dissolving or degrading medications after being
swallowed) Aspirin (medication to prevent blood clot) was not crushed for one of four sampled residents
(Resident 7) during medication administration.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 7's medication efficacy and placed the resident at
risk for adverse complications.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident
on 5/2/2016 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included gastroesophageal reflux disease with
esophagitis (a condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back up into the tube connecting the mouth
and stomach) dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe
enough to affect a person's daily functioning) and atherosclerotic heart disease (condition where the
arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning
tool) dated 2/27/2024, the MDS indicated the resident sometimes understands verbal content and
rarely/never able to express ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 7 was dependent with all
activities of daily living.
During a medication administration observation on 6/6/2024 from 8:23 am to 8:31 am, LVN 2 prepared a
total of 8 scheduled medications for Resident 7, including Aspirin. LVN 2 crushed the medications and
mixed with apple sauce. LVN 2 administered all the medications mixed in apple sauce.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 6/6/2024 at 8:43 am, LVN 2 stated she would always
crush Resident 7's medications because Resident 7 could not swallow the medications in whole. LVN 2
checked Resident 7's medication bottle for Aspirin and the bottle indicated enteric coated Aspirin 81
milligrams (mg-unit of measurement.) LVN 2 stated she did not know if she could crush enteric coated
Aspirin.
During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 4:35 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated delayed release/enteric
coated medications should not be crushed and the facility needed to call the physician for an alternative
medication and a physician's order to crush medications. The DON stated the alternative form of oral
enteric coated Aspirin could be in a liquid form or sublingual form (applied under the tongue)
During a review of Resident 7's active Physician Orders as of 6/2/2024, the physician's order indicated for
Resident 7 to receive Aspirin EC (enteric coated) tablet delayed release, one tablet by mouth one time a
day for prophylaxis.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled The Med Pass, the P&P
indicated a list of medications not to be crushed should be available for reference in the Medication

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure five of five sampled residents
(Residents 13, 25, 41, 47 and 77) on psychotropic drugs (any drug capable of affecting the mood,
emotions, and behavior) were free from unnecessary medication by failing to:
A. Attempt a Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR- tapering of a dose) for Residents 25 and 47
B. Ensure PRN (as needed) orders for psychotropic medications were limited to 14 days use for Residents
13, 41, and Resident 77.
These deficient practices had the potential for the facility to use psychotropic drugs inappropriately and had
the potential to affect residents' physical, emotional and psychosocial wellbeing.
Findings:
A.1. During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted
Resident 25 on 4/28/2023, under Hospice Care (a program that gives special care to people who are near
the end of life and have stopped treatment to cure or control their disease) due to diagnosis of end stage
Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions).
During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 10:47 a.m., Resident 25 was lying on his back in a low bed, awake
and non-communicative.
During a review of Resident 25's Order Summary Report (OSR), the physician orders indicated the
following:
1. Seroquel (antipsychotic [medication to treat mental illness] medication) 25 milligrams (mg-unit of
measurement) one tablet in the morning and 50 mg one tablet at bedtime, by mouth for agitation related to
dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to
affect a person's daily functioning); order date was 4/28/2023
2. Haloperidol Lactate oral concentrate 2mg/ml (antipsychotic medication) 2 mg sublingual (under the
tongue) every six hours as needed (PRN) for agitation related to dementia; order date was 4/10/2024.
During a review of Resident 25's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 6/1/2024 through
6/7/2024, the MAR indicated Resident 25 received Seroquel 25 mg one tablet at 9 a.m. and 50 mg one
tablet at 10 p.m. by mouth, every day.
During a review of Resident 25's monthly behavior monitoring of agitation due to dementia dated 4/28/2023
through 6/7/2024, the monthly behavior monitoring indicated Resident 25 had only two episodes of
agitation since Seroquel and Haldol PRN were ordered for Resident 25.

4:32 p.m., the DON stated she was responsible for checking residents on psychotropic medication had
gradual dose reduction (GDR- tapering of medication) unless clinically contraindicated. The DON stated,
Resident 25's antipsychotic drug (Seroquel) was ordered by the Hospice physician upon admission to the
facility on 4/28/2023. The DON stated she notified the Hospice Registered Nurse (HRN) by phone about a
month ago to discontinue Resident 25's Seroquel and Haldol due to absence of behavior problem of
agitation but the DON stated she missed to follow up if the order was obtained. The DON stated Resident
25's medical record did not have documented evidence of a failed past or recent attempt of GDR for
Seroquel to medically justify it would be clinically contraindicated for Resident 25. The DON stated there
was no documented evidence Resident 25's physician made an evaluation for the appropriateness of the
use of Haldol beyond 14 days. The DON stated antipsychotic PRN drug should not exceed 14 days, but it
was overlooked. The DON stated GDR was necessary to determine if Resident 25's agitation would be
managed by a lower dose with the use of non-drug interventions to prevent adverse drug reactions.
A.2. During a review of Resident 47's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/18/2020,
with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly
destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and dementia
(long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a
person's daily functioning.)
During a review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 3/24/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment and had no symptoms
for problems with mood. The MDS indicated Resident 47 was dependent with toileting and required
maximal assistance with eating, bed mobility.
During a review of Resident 47's OSR, the OSR indicated the following order history for the use of Seroquel

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) on
Storage of Medications to ensure drugs and biologicals (class of medicines which were grown and purified)
were stored in the Medication Refrigerator (MR) at required temperature for one of one sampled Medication
Storage room [ROOM NUMBER] (MSR 1).
This failure had the potential to result in medications to become unstable and ineffective.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 9:27 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4
(LVN 4) in MSR 1, the MR thermometer inside MR indicated a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit (F,
unit to measure temperature). LVN 4 stated the temperature reading inside the MR was 62 degrees F. LVN
4 stated the thermometer was unsure if the thermometer was broken. LVN 4 stated the temperature in the
MR was rechecked and indicated a temperature of 56 degrees F. LVN 4 stated the required MR
temperature needed to be between 36 degrees F and 46 degrees F according to the facility's temperature
log. LVN 4 stated having a broken thermometer in the MR had the potential to decrease the effectiveness or
stability of the medications inside the MR.
During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:56 PM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN Sup 2), RN Sup 2
stated the MR temperature should be between 36 to 46 degrees F. The RN Sup 2 stated the risk of not
maintaining the MR at the required temperature was that it can affect the potency of the medication and
bacteria could grow.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of Medication the P&P indicated
MR must contain working thermometers which licensed nurses use to log the temperature twice daily to
ensure the temperature stays between 36 degrees F and 46 degrees F.

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 maintain safe food handling
practices by failing to:
A.1. Store one of one ice scoop in a sanitary condition. The ice scoop was stored in the ice scooper
container that had approximately 100 milliliters (ml-unit of measurement) of brown liquid substance. The ice
scoop was touching the brown liquid substance. Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) and CNA 3 used the
contaminated ice scooper to fill up two ice chests (containers) with ice and distributed the ice chests to the
North and South Nursing Stations. CNAs 1, 2 and 3 distributed the contaminated ice to 42 of 90 residents
(Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 36, 37, 38, 43, 46, 53, 54, 57,

consuming contaminated ice and result in serious harm, hospitalization, and death from water-borne
illnesses (illnesses caused by contaminated water).
B.Ensure safe food storage in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) on Sanitation and
Infection Control and P&P on Food Receiving and Storage by failing to ensure (1) stored food items were
dated when it was received in one of two kitchen freezers, (2) mixed and prepared salad dressings were
discarded after its indicated shelf life (the length of time for which an item remains usable and fit for
consumption) in the kitchen refrigerated storage, (3) stored food items were dated when it was received in
the kitchen's dry and canned storage area and (4) stored food items were labeled with the resident's name
and date when it was stored and use by date in one of two unit refrigerators.
These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for food-borne illnesses (illness caused by ingesting
contaminated food or beverages).
On 6/6/2024 at 5:34 pm, while onsite at the facility, the survey team called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ, a
situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused,
or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) situation regarding the facility's
failure to ensure food safety standards were met by storing the food equipment in a sanitary condition. The
ice scoop was stored in the ice scooper container that had approximately 100 ml of brown liquid substance
which was used by CNAs 1 and 3 to scoop the ice from the ice machine intended for the residents in the
facility. CNAs 1, 2 and 3 distributed the contaminated ice to 42 residents during breakfast and lunch on
6/6/2024. The facility had no records of cleaning and sanitizing the ice scooper container as indicated in the
facility's P&P for Cleaning and Sanitizing Ice Scooper and Container for Ice Machine. The IJ was called in
the presence of the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) and Director of Staff Development (DSD).
