Assure that each resident’s assessment is updated at least once every 3 months.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - a
standardized assessment and care screening tool) was completed timely for one (Resident 63) out of 21
sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the provision of necessary care and services for
this resident.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 63's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 5/27/2021 and readmitted the resident on 5/24/2022 with diagnoses including
neuropathy (a disease that occurs when nerves are damaged, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling,
weakness, or swelling in various parts of the body) and difficulty in walking.
During a review of Resident 63's History and Physical (H&P - a formal assessment by a healthcare provider
that involves a patient interview, physical exam, and documentation of findings), dated 11/7/2024, the H&P
indicated the resident has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 63's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the resident had intact cognition
(thought processes) and required supervision from staff for most activities of daily living (ADLs fundamental skills that people need to care for themselves independently).
On 11/23/2024 at 5:58 p.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS - a federal agency that manages Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's
Health Insurance Program [CHIP], and the Affordable Care Act [ACA] health insurance marketplaces)
Submission Report, dated 11/23/2024, with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1 (MDS Nurse 1). The record
indicated that the assessment was completed more than 14 days after assessment reference date (ARD).
MDS Nurse 1 stated the ARD was 10/18/2024, so the assessment should have been completed by
11/1/2024.
On 11/24/2024 at 11:37 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed the Resident
Assessment Instrument (RAI - a public document that provides guidance on how to use the RAI to assess
residents in long-term care facilities) Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA - a federal law that
reformed nursing homes and improved the quality of care for residents) required Assessment Summary
with MDS Nurse 1. MDS Nurse 1 stated that, according to the guidelines, the Quarterly MDS completion
date was supposed to be 14 days from the ARD. When asked what date Resident 63's Quarterly MDS
assessment was actually completed, MDS Nurse 1 stated it was completed on 11/20/2024. MDS Nurse 1
stated it should have been completed on 11/1/2024.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure licensed nurses provided non-pharmacological
interventions healthcare treatments that are not primarily based on medication) prior to administering as
needed (PRN) opioid pain medication (powerful pain-reducing medications) on multiple dates for two
(Residents 7 & 8) out of three sample residents investigated under the care area of pain management.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident at increased risk of experiencing adverse side
effects such as drowsiness, constipation, and decrease in respiration.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
the resident on 10/29/2024 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a
chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and a history of falling.
During a review of Resident 7's History and Physical (H&P - a comprehensive assessment of a patient that
includes taking a detailed medical history from the patient and then performing a physical examination to
gather objective data), dated 10/31/2024, the H&P indicated that the resident has the capacity to
understand and make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/5/2024,
the MDS indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (thought processes) and required
maximal assistance from staff for most activities of daily living (ADLs - activities such as bathing, dressing,
and toileting a person performs daily).
During a review of Resident 7's care plan (a document that outlines a person's specific healthcare needs,
including their current health conditions, medications, treatments, and goals, created to ensure coordinated
care delivery by a healthcare team and to facilitate communication between all involved parties) for
potential for pain/discomfort, initiated on 10/29/2024, the care plan indicated to assist the resident with
positions of comfort.
On 11/24/2024 at 11:04 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed Resident 7's
physician's orders with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1). RN 1 stated the resident had a physician's order for
hydrocodone-acetaminophen (medication used to relieve severe pain) 5-325 milligrams (mg - metric unit of
measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) by mouth (PO) PRN for pain 4-10 for moderate
to severe pain, ordered on 10/29/2024. Reviewed the resident's 11/2024 Medication Administration Record
(MAR - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments
given to a resident). RN 1 stated the resident was given hydrocodone/acetaminophen almost daily in
November. The following was indicated:
1.
On 11/1/2024 at 2:35 a.m., the licensed nurse administered hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg but did
not document that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted first.

On 11/23/2024 at 4:22 p.m., the licensed nurse administered hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg but
did not document that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted first.
RN 1 stated she could not find any documented evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were
provided prior to administering hydrocodone-acetaminophen on those dates.
On 11/24/2024 at 4:59 p.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was
important to attempt non-pharmacological interventions prior to administering PRN opioid medications to
ensure that everything possible was done to try to alleviate the resident's pain without the use of any
medications because medications have a tendency to have side effects such as sedation, dizziness, or a
change in level of consciousness.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Pain - Clinical Protocol, last reviewed and
revised on 11/6/2024, the policy indicated the physician will order appropriate non-pharmacologic and
medication interventions to address the individual's pain .Staff will provide the elements of a comforting
environment and appropriate physical and complementary interventions; for example, local heat or ice,
repositioning, massage, and the opportunity to talk about chronic pain.
b. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 7/21/2023 and readmitted the resident on 5/11/2024 with diagnoses including
bilateral (both sides) osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by a gradual loss of
cartilage) of the knees.
During of review of Resident 8's H&P, dated 5/14/2024, the H&P indicated that the resident has the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 8's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the resident had intact cognition
and required setup or clean-up assistance from staff for most ADLs.
During a review of Resident 8's care plan for potential for alteration in comfort secondary to pain related to
bilateral knee osteoarthritis, initiated on 5/13/2024, the care plan indicated to implement
non-pharmacological interventions of: repositioning, dim lighting/quiet environment, reassurance, and
relaxation technique.
On 11/24/2024 at 11:25 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review, reviewed Resident 8's
physician's orders with RN 1. RN 1 stated the resident had an order for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325
mg by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain 4-10/10, ordered on 5/11/2024.
Reviewed the resident's 10/2024 MAR with RN 1. The following was indicated:

interview and record review, the facility:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Failed to administer a physician prescribed medication for itchiness for one of one (Resident 43) resident
investigated under pharmacy services.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause the resident to have unrelieved itchiness which could
result to prolonged itching and scratching possibly leading to skin injury, infection, and scarring.
2. Failed to implement the facility's medication administration policy by failing to obtain a physician's order
prior to the administration of the COVID-19 (a mild to severe respiratory illness that is caused by the
coronavirus [a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in humans]) vaccine (shots that one take
to teach the body's immune system to recognize and defend against harmful germs) for two out of five
sampled residents. (Resident 30 and Resident 68)
This deficient practice had the potential to place the residents at increased risk of experiencing adverse
side effects due to not receiving a physician's order.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 43`s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 06/12/2023 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including muscle weakness
and prurigo nodularis (a chronic skin condition that causes hard, itchy bumps called nodules to appear on
the body).
During a review of Resident 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool), dated
05/29/2024, the MDS indicated the resident cognitive skills (cognition refers to conscious mental activities,
and include thinking, reasoning, understanding, learning, and remembering) for daily decision-making was
moderately impaired. The MDS further indicated Resident 43 was totally dependent on staff for toileting
hygiene, shower, personal hygiene and putting on/taking off footwear.
During and observation and interview on 11/22/2024 at 8:04 p.m., observed Resident 43 awake in bed.
Resident 43 stated that she used to have a very beautiful skin but now it is always itchy. Resident 43 stated
the blanket makes her itch and that the itching is worst at night.
During a review of Resident 43`s physician`s orders dated 10/30/2024, the physician orders indicated an
order to apply Triamcinolone (used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation,
and discomfort of various skin conditions) 0.1% cream to affected areas and leave open to air every day
and evening shift for four weeks.
During a review of Resident 43`s Medication Administration Record (MAR- is where medications given to a
client are documented), the MAR indicated Triamcinolone was not administered on the evening shift of
11/3/24 and 11/11/2024.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food
storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen when:
Residents Affected - Few
a. A bag of wheat bread and English muffin were not labeled with an open date.
b. A resident's food from home in the resident's refrigerator had no label and no received date.
These deficient practices had the potential to place 83 out of 92 residents living in the facility at risk for
foodborne illnesses (refers to illness caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or beverages).
Findings:
During a concurrent kitchen observation and interview on 11/22/2024 at 07:45 p.m., with Dietary Manager
1 (DM 1) in the facility`s kitchen, observed a bag containing eight (8) slices of wheat bread and a bag
containing three English muffins, without an open date label. DM 1 stated when a bag of bread is opened,
the bag must be labeled with the open date so the kitchen staff would know when to discard the bread. DM
1 stated that labeling will ensure that food items are still safe for residents to consume. DM 1 stated there is
a potential for expired food items to cause foodborne illnesses to the residents.
During a concurrent observation of the residents' refrigerator and interview with DM 1 on 11/22/2024 at
8:15 p.m. in the presence of DM 1, a container of food with no name and no label. DM 1 stated the
container should have been labeled with the resident's name and use by date to ensure the food is safe to
eat and to prevent food borne illnesses to the resident.
During an interview with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 11/23/24 04:33 p.m., RN 1 stated leftover food
brought by visitors are kept in the resident`s refrigerator. RN 1 stated the leftover food should be labeled
with the resident`s name and the date received to ensure it will be discarded after 72 hours. RN 1 stated
that it is important to date the food item because consuming the food beyond 72 hours could potentially
cause foodborne illnesses.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure, titled Food Receiving and Storage, last reviewed on
11/06/2024, indicated that Foods shall be received and stored in a manner that complies with safe food
handling practices .dry foods and goods are stored in a manner that maintains the integrity of the
packaging until they are ready to use .
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure, titled Food Brought by Family/Visitors, Receiving and
Storage, last reviewed on 11/06/2024, indicated that Food brought by family/visitors that is left with the
resident to consume later is labeled and stored in a manner that it is clearly distinguishable from
facility-prepared food .perishable foods are stored in a re-sealable containers with tightly fitting lids in a

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to implement their policy on rehabilitation screening as
evidenced by the facility failing to conduct a quarterly rehabilitation screen for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 68).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 68 at risk for not maintaining, improving or restoring the resident's
functional abilities.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 68's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 9/6/2022, with diagnoses including vascular dementia (group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance
(disconnection from reality), and cerebral palsy (a group of movement disorders that can cause problems
with posture, manner of walking, muscle tone, and coordination).
During a review of Resident 68's Minimum Data Set (a resident assessment tool), the MDS dated [DATE],
indicated Resident 68's cognition skills required for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS
indicated Resident 68 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, and
personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 68's order summary report, the order summary report indicated an order dated
9/6/2022:
-May have rehab screen upon admission and quarterly as needed.
During a review of Resident 68's Rehabilitation Screening Form dated 5/30/2024 at 9:45 a.m., the form
indicated the reason for the screen as: Quarterly.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 11/24/2024
at 11:28 a.m., the DOR stated that residents are screened quarterly (every 3 months). The DOR reviewed
Resident 68's Rehabilitation Screening Forms from 5/30/2024- 11/24/2024. The DOR stated that there was
no documented evidence that the rehabilitation department conducted a quarterly rehabilitation screen for
Resident 68. The DOR stated that Resident 68 should have had a rehabilitation screen conducted in the
month of August 2024. When asked why Resident 68's quarterly rehab screen was not conducted, the DOR
did not answer.
During a follow up interview on 11/24/2024 at 12:20 p.m., the DOR stated that quarterly screens are
important to be conducted because rehabilitation screens will briefly assess residents to see if rehabilitation
services will be appropriate for the resident or if the resident will benefit from rehabilitation services.
During a review of the facility's policy titled Request for Rehabilitation Screen/Consultation, with review date
of 11/6/2024, the policy indicated routine screening programs are dictated by facility practice. The purpose
of a consultation/screen is to determine the need for skilled evaluation.

Based on interview and review the failed to develop a facility policy and procedure (P&P) specific for a
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST- a medical order that outlines a resident's end of-life
care preferences, a physician, nurse practitioner (an advanced practice registered nurse and a type of
mid-level practitioner), or physician's assistant (a licensed health care professional who works with
physicians to provide care) must sign the form, along with the resident; or their legally recognized health
care decision maker).
This deficient practice had the potential to bring confusion to facility staff or a delay of care in an event a
resident becomes unresponsive.
Findings:

admitted the resident on 10/19/2024, with diagnoses that included hyponatremia (low sodium levels), lung
disease, and metabolic encephalopathy (a brain dysfunction caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood
that affects the brain).
During a review of Resident 101's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/22/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 101 does not have capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 101's POLST form, the form indicated a signature of the nurse practitioner,
however there was no signature of Resident 101 or Resident 101's legal recognized health care decision
maker.
During an interview and concurrent record review with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) on 11/23/2024 at 6:56
p.m., reviewed Resident 101's POLST form. RN 1 stated that Resident 101's POLST is not complete
because there is no signature of Resident 101 or Resident 101's legal recognized health care decision
maker. RN 1 stated that Resident 101's POLST form should have been completed as soon as possible to
be able to implement Resident 101's end of life care preferences. RN 1 stated that a completed POLST
from requires a provider's signature and a resident or resident's legal health care decision maker. RN 1
stated it is important for a POLST form to be completed as soon as possible for the resident's safety.
During an interview with the Administrator (ADM) on 11/24/2024 at 6:06 p.m., the ADM stated that the
facility does not have a policy specific for a POLST form. The ADM that the facility should have a policy
specific to a POLST form because the POLST form will be able to help the facility to identify residents'
wishes without confusion and without delaying care.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate hospice services (specialized
care designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness with a focus on
comfort, quality of life rather than cure, and free of pain to live each day as fully as possible) by failing to:
1. Ensure there was documented evidence in the resident's medical record indicating a hospice staff was
physically in the facility to provide hospice related services to one of three sampled residents (Resident 30)
2. Ensure there is a designated facility staff to coordinate care and services provided by the hospice
provider and the facility.
These failures that the potential to prevent Resident 30 from receiving well-coordinated and comprehensive
hospice services.
Findings:

admitted the resident on 10/9/2014, with diagnoses including dementia (group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance
(disconnection from reality), mood disturbance (disorder in which you experience long periods of extreme
happiness, extreme sadness or both), and Parkinson's disease ((a progressive disease of the nervous
system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements) without dyskinesia
(uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movement), and heart failure (condition in which the heart doesn't pump
blood as well as it should).
During a review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment and care screening tool), dated
11/4/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 30's cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) with skills required for daily decision
making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 30 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 30's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated an order
dated 10/23/2024 to admit the resident to hospice.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. During an
observation on 11/22/2024 at 6:21 p.m., observed laundry staff walking in the hallway transporting a cart of
clothes uncovered.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation and concurrent interview with Laundry Staff 1 (LS 1) on 11/22/2024 at 6:22 p.m.,
observed LS 1 transporting a cart of laundry uncovered. LS 1 stated that the cart of clothes are residents'
clean clothes from the laundry. LS 1 stated that when transporting clean clothes and linen the clean laundry
should be covered so that the clean clothes and linen do not get dirty and contaminated. LVN 1 further
stated that the clean laundry cart should have been covered but she forgot to cover the clean laundry cart
prior to transport.
During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 11/24/2024 at 3:58 p.m., the IP stated that clean
laundry and linen should always be transported covered to prevent clean laundry and linen from getting
dirty, contaminated, and for infection control.
During a review of the facility's policy titled Laundry and Bedding, Soiled, with review date 11/6/2024, the
policy indicated under transport: 6. Clean linen is protected from dust and soiling during transport and
storage to ensure cleanliness.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its infection control and
prevention program by failing to:
1. Ensure a resident's nasal cannula (a medical device that delivers supplemental oxygen therapy to people
with low oxygen levels) oxygen tubing was labeled and was not touching the floor for one of one sampled
resident (Resident 15) investigated for infection control.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in contamination of the resident's care equipment and risk
of transmission of bacteria that can lead to infection.
2. Ensure laundry staff transported residents' clean laundry per facility policy.
This deficient practice had the potential to spread infection and cross contamination (the physical
movement or transfer of harmful bacteria [germs] from one person, object, or place to another) among staff
and other residents.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 4/04/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic pulmonary
disease edema (a long-term condition that occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs, making it difficult to
breathe) and respiratory failure (when the lungs cannot release enough oxygen into the blood).
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS-standardized assessment and screening tool)
dated 9/04/2024, the MDS indicated the resident`s cognitive skills for daily decision making was moderately
impaired. The MDS further indicated that Resident 15 required maximal assistance with oral hygiene,
toileting hygiene, and upper body dressing.

During a review of Resident 15`s physician`s orders dated 11/20/2024, the physician order indicated an
order to administer oxygen at 2-5 liters per minute (LPM) via nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation
(the amount of oxygen that's circulating in the blood) above 90 percent as needed.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/22/24 at 07:38
p.m., in Resident 15's room, observed Resident 15 lying in bed sleeping. Observed a portion of the
resident's oxygen tubing touching the floor. The oxygen tubing was not dated. The DON stated oxygen
tubings are changed every Sundays and should be labeled with the date the tubing was changed so the
staff would know when the next tubing change is due. The DON stated the oxygen tubing should not be
touching the floor to prevent complications including infection from contaminated tubing.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure (P&P), titled Departmental (Respiratory
Therapy-Prevention of Infection), last reviewed on 11/6/2024, the P&P indicated that The purpose of this
procedure is to guide prevention infection associated with respiratory therapy tasks and equipment,
including ventilators, among residents and staff .change the oxygen cannula and tubing every seven (7)
days, or as needed .

staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19- a
mild to severe respiratory illness that is caused by coronavirus [a family of viruses that can cause
respiratory illness in humans]) vaccine (prevents infection) policy by failing to ensure residents were
screened for eligibility prior to the administration of the vaccine for two of five sampled residents (Resident
30 and Resident 68).

admitted the resident on 10/9/2014, with diagnoses including dementia (group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance
(disconnection from reality), and Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked
by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements) without dyskinesia (uncontrolled, involuntary
muscle movement).
During a review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment and care screening tool), dated
11/4/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 30's cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) with skills required for daily decision
making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 30 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 30's Immunization Record for the COVID-19 vaccine dated 10/16/2024, the
record indicated the COVID-19 vaccine was administered on 10/16/2024.

IP stated that prior to the administration of any vaccine the IP screens for vaccine eligibility by reviewing
residents' previous vaccine records to check if resident has received the vaccine and will follow vaccine
guidelines. The IP reviewed Resident 30's COVID-19 Vaccine Consent & Declination form, screening for
vaccine eligibility. The IP stated that the screening for vaccine eligibility portion of the COVID-19 Vaccine
Consent & Declination form is blank. The IP stated that there is no documented evidence that the IP
conducted a COVID-19 screening for vaccine eligibility for Resident 30. The IP stated that he (IP) is
supposed to document vaccine eligibility but did not. The IP further stated that documenting the COVID-19
screening for vaccine eligibility is important because the facility has to make sure that the resident is
appropriate for the COVID-19 vaccine and to ensure there are no contraindications.
b. During a review of Resident 68's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 9/6/2022, with diagnoses including vascular dementia (group of thinking and social
symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance
(disconnection from reality), and cerebral palsy (a group of movement disorders
