This survey cited 13 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to accurately complete the MDS for one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 69). This posed the risk of the resident not receiving an individualized plan of care based on the resident's specific needs. * Resident 69 had an order to apply splints to left upper extremity and bilateral knee. The facility failed to code the use of splints in the annual MDS dated [DATE], and quarterly MDS dated [DATE]. Findings: On 9/19/23 at 1130 hours, Resident 69 was observed lying in bed with left upper extremity and bilateral knee splints in placed. Medical record review for Resident 69 was initiated on 9/21/23. Resident 69 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 69's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 7/1/22, for RNA to apply bilateral knee splints daily five times per week for four to six hours as tolerated and left upper extremity hand splint daily five times per week for four to six hours as tolerated. Review of Resident 69's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 7/1/22, addressing Resident's 69's splints. Review of Resident 69's annual MDS dated [DATE], and quarterly MDS dated [DATE], showed the use of splints was not coded. On 9/21/23 at 1437 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator verified the above findings and stated she should have coded in the MDS splints were applied to the resident. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive care plan was implemented for one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 22). * The facility failed to ensure Resident 22's bed was maintained in the lowest possible position in accordance with Resident 22's at risk for fall/injury care plan. This failure placed the resident at risk for not being provided appropriate, consistent, and individualized care. Findings: Medical record review for Resident 22 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 22's care plan titled At Risk for Fall/Injury dated 9/1/23, showed Resident 22 was at risk for fall/injury related to impaired vision, incontinence, and antihypertensive medications. In order to minimize Resident 22's risk for fall/injury the care plan showed the staff would provide the visual checks every two hours to assess the resident's needs and safety, instruct the resident to utilize the call light to ask for assistance, and maintain the bed in the lowest possible position. On 9/18/23 at 1139 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 1. Resident 22 was observed lying in bed. Resident 22's bed was not positioned in the lowest possible position. CNA 1 verified the findings and stated Resident 1 was a fall risk due to generalized weakness. On 9/18/23 at 1152 hours, an observation, interview, and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. Resident 22 was observed lying in bed. Resident 22's bed was not positioned in the lowest possible position. LVN 1 stated Resident 22 was a fall risk due to generalized weakness.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to ensure one of 20 final sampled residents (Resident 25) attained and maintained the highest practicable physical well-being. Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to coordinate with the contracted hospice agency to provide the services to Resident 25 regarding the plan of care. This failure created the risk of not providing the appropriate and consistent care to Resident 25. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Hospice Services dated 1/2017 showed the facility should ensure the hospice services meet professional standards and principles that apply to individuals providing services at the facility, and to the timeliness of the services. Further review of the P&P showed when a resident participates in the hospice program, a coordinated plan of care between the facility, the hospice agency and resident/responsible party should be developed and should include directives for managing pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. The care plan should be revised and updated as necessary to reflect the resident's status. The designated IDT member should be responsible for collaborating with hospice representatives and coordinating facility staff participating in the hospice care planning process for residents receiving these services. Review of the facility's Contract Agreement with Hospice A dated 7/1/17, showed the provider was responsible for copies of the initial assessment to be completed by Hospice A's RN and the ongoing assessments to be completed at each visit, the plan of care to be developed once the initial visit had been made, and the scheduling of visits and hours the resident was to be seen and rely on the facility to inform the hospice of additional needs. Medical Record review for Resident 25 was initiated on 9/20/23. Resident 25 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 25's physician's order dated 9/6/23, showed an order for a hospice evaluation with Hospice A. Review of Resident 25's physician's order dated 9/13/23, showed an order to admit Resident 25 to Hospice A. Review of Resident 25's plan of care failed to show all care plans were reviewed and signed by Hospice A. On 9/20/23 at 1547 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the ADON. The ADON was also the facility's Hospice Coordinator. The ADON verified there was no documentation of integration or coordination of plan of care from Hospice A for Resident 25. The ADON further stated Hospice A nurse should have reviewed and signed Resident 25's plan of care.

Resident 22 was assessed to be at risk for falls. * The facility failed to accurately document Resident 72's history of falls on the Fall Risk Evaluation form resulting in an inaccurate fall risk score status post an unwitnessed fall. These failures had the potential to place the residents at risk for serious injury. Findings: 1. Medical record review for Resident 22 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 22's physician's order dated 5/21/22, showed an order for Resident 22's bed to be positioned in the lowest possible position. Review of Resident 22's care plan titled At Risk for Fall/Injury dated 9/1/23, showed Resident 22 was at risk for fall/injury related to impaired vision, incontinence, and antihypertensive medications. Resident 22's risk for fall/injury care plan showed the staff would provide visual checks every two hours to assess the resident's needs and safety, instruct the resident to utilize call light to ask for assistance, and maintain bed in lowest possible position. On 9/18/23 at 1138 hours, Resident 22 was observed lying in bed. Resident 22's bed was not positioned in the lowest possible position. On 9/18/23 at 1139 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 1. Resident 22 was observed lying in bed.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm meaningful and informative notes shall be written by a licensed nurse to reflect the treatment, observations and assessments and other appropriate entries. Medical record review for Resident 72 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 72 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 72's fall history showed Resident 72 had an unwitnessed fall on 7/25/23. On 9/19/23 at 0945 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1. Review of Resident 72's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 7/25/23, under the category titled History of Falls, showed the numerical score of zero to indicate the resident had no fall within the last three months. The History of Falls category on the Fall Risk Evaluation form indicated a score of two showing the resident had one to two falls in the past three months. RN 1 verified the inaccuracy in the documentation and stated the score under the category of History of Falls should have reflected a score of two to account for Resident 72's fall on 7/25/23. The Fall Risk Evaluation score on 7/25/23, status post fall showed a total score of 13. However, adding the additional two points would equal a total Fall Risk Evaluation score of 15 where the higher the total fall risk score indicated the resident's higher risk for falls. On 9/20/23 at 0922 hours, an interview and medical record review was conducted with the ADON. The ADON verified Resident 72 had a fall on 7/25/23. The ADON further stated Resident 72's History of Falls category in the Fall Risk Evaluation form should have been scored a two to indicate Resident 72 had a fall within the past three months by including the fall that occurred on 7/25/23. The ADON stated accurate assessment of the Fall Risk Evaluation was important in order to provide proper interventions and recommendations to prevent future falls.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the equipment utilized to provide the residents with oxygen therapy was labeled and changed in accordance with the facility's P&P, for three of 20 final sampled residents (Residents 22, 23, and 87). Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to ensure Resident 22's nasal cannula oxygen tubing and oxygen concentrator humidification bottle were labeled with the date when they were changed. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 23's nasal cannula oxygen tubing and oxygen concentrator humidification bottle were changed weekly and labeled with the date when they were changed. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 87's nasal cannula oxygen tubing was changed every seven days and as needed. These failures had the potential to result in negative health outcomes to the residents. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Concentrators dated 6/2017 showed pre-filled humidifiers are to be dated and replaced weekly or as needed. 1. Medical record review for Resident 22 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 22 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 22's care plan titled At Risk for Altered Breathing Pattern and Risk for Respiratory Distress related to CHF and history of COVID-19 revised 9/2023 showed to administer oxygen as ordered. Review of Resident 22's physician's orders showed an order to administer oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula continuously. The oxygen rate may be titrated up to 5 L/min as needed to keep oxygen saturation level greater than 92%. On 9/18/23 at 1143 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 1. Resident 22 was observed lying in bed and receiving continuous oxygen at 3 liters per minute via a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen concentrator. An oxygen concentrator humidification bottle was observed attached to the oxygen concentrator and nasal cannula tubing. The nasal cannula tubing and humidification bottle were not labeled with the date they were changed as per the facility's P&P. LVN 1 verified the findings and was uncertain as to when the nasal cannula tubing and humidification bottle were last changed. LVN 1 stated the facility's P&P was to change the humidification bottle weekly and to label the humidification bottle with the date when it was changed. LVN 1 stated she would immediately discard Resident 22's nasal cannula oxygen tubing and humidification bottle and provide Resident 22 with new nasal cannula oxygen tubing and humidification bottle. 2.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of Resident 23's MD Order Summary showed an order dated 8/13/23, for oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula continuously to keep oxygen saturation above 92% for shortness of breath. Residents Affected - Few On 9/18/23 at 0922 hours, an observation was conducted on Resident 23. Resident 23 was observed with oxygen via nasal cannula on both nostrils. It was also observed the oxygen concentrator humidifier bottle was dated 9/10/23, while the cannula tubing did not have a date. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/19/23 at 0752 hours, with the IP in Resident 23's bedside, Resident 23's oxygen concentrator humidifier bottle and cannula were observed to have a new label dated 9/18/23. The IP verified Resident 23's oxygen humidifier and cannula were changed yesterday, 9/18/23 in the evening and should have been changed on Sunday, 9/17/23, because both the oxygen humidifier bottle and cannula set should have been changed every week on Sundays. 3. Medical Record review for Resident 87 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 87 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 87's Order Summary Report dated 8/25/23, showed a physician's order dated 7/03/23, to administer oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula continuous to keep oxygen saturation level above 92%. May titrate up to 5 L/min via nasal cannula to keep saturation level above 92% every shift for COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - a group of lung disease that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe). On 9/18/23 at 1152 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 11. Resident 87 was observed on his bed receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. An oxygen concentrator (a portable medical device to provide a person extra oxygen) humidification bottle was observed attached to the oxygen concentrator and nasal cannula of Resident 87. The nasal cannula tubing was dated 8/27/23. LVN 11 verified the date written on the nasal cannula tubing was 8/27/23. On 9/20/23 at 0956 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 11. LVN 11 was asked regarding the facility's practice on how often the oxygen tubing was changed. LVN 11 stated the oxygen tubing should be changed once a week, every Sunday.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the nursing staff demonstrated the competencies and skill sets needed to provide safe nursing care to the residents. * CNA 6 failed to perform within their scope of practice when CNA 6 was observed turning off Resident 24's enteral feeding pump prior to performing ADL care. * The blood glucose test strips and control solution were not accurately tested with the Assure Platinum glucometer (device used to measure blood sugar levels). These failures had the potential to result in inadequate care and risk for adverse consequences for the residents. Findings: 1. Review of the facility document titled Certified Nursing Assistant Job Description, undated, showed the general duties and responsibilities for CNAs are to perform assigned duties in accordance with state, federal, and facility policies and procedures. Furthermore, specific requirements for CNAs showed they must demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age-related needs of the residents served. Medical record review for Resident 24 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 24 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. On 9/18/23 at 1023 hours, a concurrent observation and interview with LVN 5 and CNA 6 was conducted. While interviewing LVN 5 regarding Resident 24 in Resident 24's room, CNA 6 was observed turning off Resident 24's enteral feeding pump. CNA 6 verified she turned off the enteral feeding pump because she needed to pull up Resident 24 and provide care. CNA 6 further stated she should have asked the license nurse to turn off the enteral feeding pump. LVN 5 verified CNA 6 turned off the enteral feeding pump and stated CNAs were not allowed to operate the enteral feeding pump. On 9/20/23 at 0834 hours, an interview with CNA 7 was conducted. CNA 7 stated CNAs or RNAs were not supposed to touch the enteral feeding pump. CNA 7 also stated the RNs or LVNs were the designated staff to operate the enteral feeding pump. On 9/20/23 at 0840 hours, an interview with the DON was conducted. The DON verified the CNAs could not turn on or off the enteral feeding pump and were to notify their charge nurse. In addition, the DON also stated CNAs were not to operate the machine regardless if a license nurse was present in the resident's room and stated only the RNs and LVNs could operate the enteral feeding pump. 2.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm and handling, when first open the vial, to write the date on the vial label and use the test strips within three months of first opening the vial. On 9/19/23 at 1121 hours, an inspection of Medication Cart 3 and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 9. The following was observed: Residents Affected - Few - an opened vial of Assure Platinum blood glucose test strips 30 counts with an open date of 9/18/23. - an opened box of Assure Dose control solution with an open date of 7/12/23. Review of the facility document titled Daily Quality Control Record for September 2023 showed the Assure Platinum glucometer quality control check was completed from 9/6/23 through 9/19/23. The Daily Quality Control Record for the blood glucose test strips opened on 9/18/23, showed the documented use by date was 12/22/24, more than 15 months after the opened date instead of 90 days after the opened date as per the manufacturer's instructions. For the control solution opened on 7/12/23, the use by date documented was for 1/3/24, more than six months after the opened date instead of 90 days after the opened date as per the manufacturer's instructions. LVN 9 verified the use by date on the Daily Quality Control Record was the expiration date of the blood glucose test strips and the control solution. On 9/19/23 at 1209 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with the DON and RN 1. RN 1 stated the test strips and control solution were good until the expiration date and the log was documented by the night shift. RN 1 and the DON acknowledged the documented use by date was not according to the manufacturer's instructions. RN 1 stated the LVN from the SNF pharmacy came to check their medication cart once a month and must have missed that the test strip and control solution were documented with the original expiration date.

This failure resulted in Resident 27 not receiving the blood pressure medication for two days, which had the potential to result in poor health outcomes to the resident. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Ordering and Receiving from Pharmacy dated 4/2008 showed repeat medications (refills) are written on a medication order form/ordered by peeling the bottom part of the pharmacy label and placing it in the appropriate area on the order form provided by the pharmacy for that purpose and ordered as follows: reorder medication five days in advance of need to assure an adequate supply is on hand. Medical record review for Resident 27 was initiated on 9/18/23. Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including essential hypertension (high blood pressure). Review of Resident 27's Order Summary Report dated 9/19/23, showed a physician's order dated 1/24/23, for losartan potassium oral tablet 100 mg one table orally in the morning for hypertension. Review of Resident 27's MAR for September 2023 showed to see LVN 2's progress notes for losartan potassium for 9/15 and 9/16/23. Review of Resident 27's Orders - Administration Note dated 9/15/23 and 9/16/23, showed a progress note for each day stating the losartan potassium was not available. On 9/20/23 at 0832 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 verified the above findings. LVN 2 stated Resident 27's medication ran out on 9/15/23. On 9/20/23 at 0855 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated he called the pharmacy for the refill on 9/15/23; however, he verified he did not fax a medication order form to the pharmacy.

This failure had the potential to cause negative outcomes for Residents 10 and 68. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Adverse Consequences and Medication Errors revised April 2014 showed the residents receiving any medication that has a potential for an adverse consequence will be monitored to ensure that any such consequences are promptly identified and reported. 1. Medical record review of Resident 10 was initiated on 9/19/23. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], from the acute care hospital. Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 7/9/23, showed Resident 10 had a history of medical diagnoses of carotid stenosis and CVA. Review of Resident 10's care plan titled At Risk for Bleeding dated 7/7/23, showed Resident 10 was on anticoagulant therapy of Plavix (blood thinner medication) with the following interventions: * Observe for presence of bleeding in urine, stool, nosebleed, emesis, etc; * Observe for any complaints of pain of the abdomen, headaches, etc; * Notify MD of coffee-ground color emesis; and * Notify MD of any bleeding episodes or any significant change in general condition, presence of bruises, etc. Review of Resident 10's MD Order Summary showed an order dated 7/7/23, for Plavix oral tablet 75 mg one tablet by mouth one time a day for CVA prophylaxis. However, the order summary did not show any orders to monitor for side effects of bleeding for Plavix. Review of Resident 10's MAR and TAR from 9/1/23-9/18/23, showed Resident 10 had been receiving Plavix daily at 0900 hours, but there was no documented evidence of monitoring for the side effects of bleeding.

There was no documented diagnosis of psychosis prior to starting the quetiapine fumarate medication. * The facility failed to ensure documentation of evaluation and rationale for increasing Resident 43's prescription of Seroquel from 12.5 mg once a day to 12.5 mg two times a day on 10/4/22, and from 12.5 mg two times a day to 50 mg two times a day on 1/30/23. * The facility failed to ensure the non-pharmacological interventions were implemented prior to administering and increasing Resident 43's Seroquel. * The facility failed to ensure documentation of clinical rationale for a GDR clinical contraindication. * The facility failed to ensure the MDS was accurately documented for Resident 43's Seroquel dose. These deficient practices had the potential to place the residents at risk for receiving unnecessary medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions. Findings: Review of the FDA black box warning for prescribing Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate) showed elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Seroquel is not approved for elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Drug Treatment revised 9/2017 showed in part, the purpose of this procedure is to provide psychotropic drug treatment for a resident with a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record. When their use is indicated, the facility should use the least restrictive alternative for the least amount of time and document on-going evaluation of the need for psychotropic drug treatment .Medication use is not the sole approach for behavioral intervention. Other non-pharmacological interventions will be identified and implemented on the plan of care .Before initiating or increasing an antipsychotic medication, the target behavior must be clearly and specifically identified and documented. Monitoring must ensure that the behavioral symptoms are not due to environmental stressors that can be addressed to improve the symptoms and not due to psychological stressors alone that can be addressed to improve or resolve the symptoms. Additionally, the P&P stated for dose reductions, clinically contraindicated means that a resident need not undergo a GFR if the resident's physician provides justification why the continued use of the drug and the dose is clinically appropriate .the information must be a part of the resident's (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056145 If continuation sheet Page 13 of 25 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 056145 B.

Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident 43's Hospitalist Discharge Summary from the acute care hospital dated 8/27/22, showed Resident 43 had a diagnosis of dementia. The Discharge Summary note showed Resident 43's caretaker was unable to care for the patient as she is healing from an injury and thus skilled nursing was found for the placement. Resident 43 was started on low-dose Seroquel to help with sleep with her usual home medications for chronic cough. Review of Resident 43's Discharge Medication List from the acute care hospital dated 8/27/22, showed Resident 43 was discharged from the acute care hospital with the medications including Seroquel 25 mg 1/2 tablets (12.5 mg) by mouth nightly (one time a day). Review of Resident 43's Physician Order Report showed an admission order dated 8/27/22, for quetiapine 25 mg 1/2 tablet (12.5 mg) oral for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff at bedtime. * Review of Resident 43's H&P examination dated 8/29/22, showed Resident 43 had a diagnosis of dementia and was alert but demented; however, the document failed to show a justification for Resident 43's Seroquel medication order. The H&P examination failed to show a diagnosis of psychosis for the use of Seroquel. Review of the Physician and Telephone Orders dated 10/4/22, showed a telephone order by NP 1 to change to the quetiapine dosage to 25 mg 1/2 tablet (12.5 mg) by mouth every 12 hours for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. Review of Resident 43's Psychiatry Initial Eval dated 11/26/22, showed Resident 43 was on Seroquel 12.5 mg every 12 hours for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. Seroquel was increased on 10/4/22, because of episodes of trying to get out of bed to go home and calling out for people due to fear of being alone. The family member said she wanted the current dose continued because it helped to calm the resident. The evaluation also showed the family member said Seroquel was originally prescribed prior to admission for insomnia (difficulty sleeping). Review of Resident 43's Physician Order Report from January 2023 showed the following: - The dose of quetiapine ordered on 10/4/22, was discontinued on 1/30/23. - The Physician and Telephone Orders dated 1/30/23, showed an order by NP 1 for Seroquel 50 mg by mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. The dose was four times more than the previous dose taken by Resident 43. Additionally, the Physician and Telephone Orders showed an order by NP 1 on 2/3/23 (four days after), to discontinue the Seroquel 50 mg dose and changed the prescription to Seroquel 25 mg by mouth two times a day for psychosis manifested by striking out at staff. * However, review of the Psychotherapeutic Drug Summary for Resident 43 dated 8/27/22 through 2/28/23, showed no episodes of Resident 43 striking out at staff during the time period.

However, Physician 1 failed to document the clinical rationale for the clinical contraindication of a GDR. * Review of the MDS dated [DATE], showed a GDR had been attempted on 2/3/23. However, further review of Resident 43's medical record failed to show any other physician or pharmacy notes related to a GDR. On 9/20/23 at 1110 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 9. LVN 9 stated Resident 43 was nice and quiet. LVN 9 stated sometimes Resident 43 was confused but did not yell out. On 9/20/23 at 1126 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated Resident 43 would start yelling when she needed something and would call for the bathroom, if she was hungry, or needed to be changed. CNA 2 stated Resident 43 always had a reason to scream, if not, she was sleeping and fine. On 9/20/23 at 1157 hours, an interview was conducted with Family Member 2. Family Member 2 stated Resident 43 was started on Seroquel in the hospital and worked well because Resident 43 was nervous and could not sleep. Family Member 2 stated at one point, the Seroquel dose was too much, and Resident 43 had trouble eating her meals, so they had to lower the dosage. On 9/21/23 at 0836 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 1, the ADON, and DON. The DON stated before Resident 43 was admitted , she was put on the Seroquel for sleep; and they tried to discontinue it, but Resident 43's family member insisted Resident 43 to take the medication.

F 0814 Dispose of garbage and refuse properly. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure garbage was properly stored in three of four garbage dumpsters. The failure had the potential to attract pest/rodents that carried diseases. Residents Affected - Some Findings: According to the 2022 FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Food Code, outside garbage receptacles must be constructed with tight-fitting lids or covers to prevent the scattering of the garbage or refuse by birds, the breeding of flies, or the entry of rodents.
