interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Ombudsman (person who represents or
protects the interest of another) was notified of resident transfer to the hospital for one of 18 residents
(Resident 1) per Federal notification requirements. This failure had the potential to limit advocacy oversight
and protection of Resident 1's rights during the transfer process. Findings:During a concurrent interview
and record review on 3/12/26 at 9:08 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC- a licensed nurse who
manages the minimum data set [MDS]- a clinical assessment tool used to evaluate the health, functional

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan that
included anticoagulation therapy (use of blood thinning medications) for one of 18 sampled residents
(Resident 123). This failure had the potential to result in the lack of appropriate monitoring and increased
the risk for bleeding complications for Resident 123. Findings:During review of Resident 123's admission
Record (AR- a document that contains essential information about a resident), undated, the AR indicated
Resident 123 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of cerebral infarction
(disrupted blood flow to the brain due to blockage). During a review of Resident 123's Order Summary
Report (OSR) dated 3/6/26, the OSR indicated, .Rivaroxaban [blood thinner] 20 mg [milligrams- unit of
measure] Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for Atrial Fibrillation [irregular heartbeat]. The order
included a black box warning (a serious safety warning given for drugs or drug classes that may cause
serious harm or death). During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/12/26 at 12:03 p.m., with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 123's medication orders and care plan. The DON
confirmed the black box warning symbol indicated Rivaroxaban was a high-risk medication that could cause
bleeding. The DON stated Resident 123's care plan did not address Resident 123's use of the high-risk
medication and anticoagulation therapy. The DON stated it should have been care planned to help establish
interventions to monitor and prevent bleeding with the goal of safe anticoagulation therapy for Resident
123. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Care Plans, Comprehensive PersonCentered dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated, . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes
measurable objectives and timetables to meet the residents physical, psychosocial and functional needs is
developed and implemented for each resident . The comprehensive, person-centered care plan . describes
the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the residence highest practicable physical,

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a care plan for Anticoagulant (medication
that prevent or reduce the formation of blood clot) was reviewed and updated for one of five sampled
residents (Resident 3). This failure had the potential to result in Resident 3 not receiving care that is aligned
with his current needs. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/12/2026 at 9:57 p.m.
with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), Resident 3's physician's orders and care plan was reviewed.

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 maintain professional standards for three of
18 sampled residents (Resident 1, 106 and 121) and two unsampled residents (Resident 70 and 118)
when: 1.Registered Nurse (RN) 1 did not verify identity before giving intravenous medication (IV, medication
administered directly into the vein), did not label IV medication and tubing to Resident 121. This failure had
the potential to cause harm to the resident.2.Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line, a long, thin
flexible tube inserted into upper arm's vein and guided into a large vein above the heart, to administer
medication) dressing was not changed for Resident 121. This failure had the potential to cause harm to the
residents. 3.Resident 70's Medication Administration Record (MAR) was signed by LVN 5 without the
medication being given. This failure placed Resident 70 at risk for seizures. 4. Resident 106 received the
necessary respiratory (the process of breathing) care (respiratory treatment/ therapy, oxygen therapy) and
services with a current physician's order. This placed Resident 106 at risk for being given too low or too
high oxygen which could lead to respiratory failure. 5. Oxygen tubing was not labeled for Resident 118. This
failure had the potential to result in the use of outdated or contaminated tubing, and negative health
outcomes for Resident 118.6. Measurements for the peripherally inserted catheter (PICC line- a flexible
tube inserted into a large vein near the heart ) were not done for Resident 121. This failure had the potential
to result in the inability to properly monitor PICC line placement and compromised the safe administration
of intravenous (IV- in a vein) therapy. 7. A Registered Nurse (RN) did not assess Resident 1 during
Resident 1's stay at the facility from 1/21/2026 through 3/10/2026. This failure had the potential to result in
inaccurate or incomplete assessments of Resident 1's condition and lead to inappropriate care planning
services and treatments. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1.During a review of Resident 121's admission Record (AR), dated 3/12/2026, the AR indicated, Resident
121 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included polyneuropathy (a condition
where many nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged), local infection of the skin and acute
osteomyelitis (bone infection).
During an observation on 3/10/2026 at 7:55 a.m. in Resident 121's room, RN 1 was observed walking into
Resident 121's room, cleaning Resident 121's PICC line, connecting the IV tubing to the PICC line, and
hanging IV medication. The IV medication and the IV tubing did not have any label.
During an interview on 3/10/2026 at 8:07 a.m. outside Resident 121's room, RN 1 stated she did not
identify the right patient and the right medication. RN 1 further stated she administered the IV medication
without the resident's label (pharmacy label) and she did not label the IV tubing. RN 1 stated it was wrong
practice because labeling and checking the identifier was expected to ensure medication was administered
to the right patient at the right time and to communicate with other staff when IV tubing needed to be
changed.
During an interview on 3/12/2026 at 2:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated the
expectation was for all IV medications to be verified prior to administration by checking residents' pictures
that were attached to their electronic medical records. DON further stated all IV medications and tubings
were expected to be labeled. DON stated these practices were expected as a professional standard of
practice to ensure six medication rights and prevent medication errors.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medications, dated April

MAR was reviewed. The MAR indicated on 3/8/2026, the Lacosamide was given to Resident 70 at 0900
(9am) and 2100. The 9am schedule was signed by LVN 5 but the medication was not given.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/12/2026 at 9:05 a.m. with LVN 5, Resident 70's MAR
was reviewed. The MAR indicated the 9am and 9pm doses on 3/8/2026 were given. LVN 5 stated the 9am
dose of the Lacosamide was not given to Resident 70. LVN 5 stated, Only 1 was given. I do not remember
why I did not get to give the medication and I signed it. LVN 5 stated the medication (Lacosamide) should
have been given then the MAR signed. LVN 5 stated the MAR should reflect what was actually given to the
resident to be able to monitor the effect of the medication and patient's safety.
During an interview on 3/12/2026 at 2:29 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the LVN
should not have signed the MAR if the medication was not given to Resident 70. The DON stated the MAR
should accurately reflect if the Resident 70 received or refused his medication for resident safety.
