F 0628 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on 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 status, and care needs of residents), the MDSC reviewed Resident 1's medical record. The MDSC stated Resident 1 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] due to respiratory complications. The MDSC stated the record did not indicate the Ombudsman was notified of Resident 1's transfer to the hospital. During an interview on 3/12/26 at 9:26 a.m., with Social Services (SS), SS stated she was responsible for notifying the Ombudsman of resident transfers and discharges. SS stated her process was to notify the Ombudsman of all facility transfers and discharges on a monthly basis. SS stated notification of Resident 1's transfer to the hospital on [DATE] should have been recorded in Resident 1's medical record. During an interview on 3/12/26 at 3:30 p.m., with SS, SS stated the facility did not have a record of notifying the Ombudsman of Resident 1's transfer to the hospital in October 2025. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Transfer or Discharge Notice version 2.1, the P&P indicated, .

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, .

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. Resident 3's care plan indicated, . [Resident 3] is on Anticoagulant therapy (apixaban) . DSD stated, I am not seeing an order [Apixaban brand - a blood thinner used to reduce the risk of stroke] . Resident does not take [Apixaban brand] . He [Resident 3] has a care plan for [Apixaban brand] . He should not have that care plan anymore. DSD stated a medication use care plan should have been resolved once the resident was not on the medication anymore. DSD stated an updated care plan allowed for the residents' care to be current and appropriate. During an interview on 3/12/2026 at 2:38 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, The [Apixaban brand] care plan should have been resolved, care plan closed. Since resident [Resident 3] is not taking it anymore. DON stated the care plan should have been updated and current so staff could provide the appropriate care to the resident. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, dated 3/2022, the P&P indicated, . Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the resident's conditions change .

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. 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 2019, the P&P indicated, .
