Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to meet federal regulatory requirements when the clinical
record for one of three sampled residents (Resident 8) had no documented justification for extending a
PRN (as needed) psychotropic medication (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental
processes and behavior) order beyond 14 days.This failure had the potential to result in Resident 8
receiving an unnecessary psychotropic medication which could affect the resident's health and
safety.Findings:During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated,
Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission
diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory,
thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a pattern of mental decline caused by different
diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive
fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily activities).During a review of Resident 8's Order
Summary Report (OSR), dated 1/8/26, the OSR indicated, the medication order, Lorazepam (a medication
used to treat anxiety) tablet give one (1) milligram (mg) by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety
manifested by (m/b) frantic searching. The medication was ordered 12/18/2025 with no end date.During a
concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 2:40 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident
8's clinical record including the OSR, dated 1/8/26, were reviewed. DON verified that the medication order
for Lorazepam. which was ordered 12/18/25 had no end date and acknowledged that PRN psychotropic
medication orders should be renewed every 14 days based on regulatory requirements. Further review of
Resident 8's clinical record failed to show documented justification that would warrant not renewing the
medication order every 14 days.

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
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure care plan interventions were properly implemented
and documented in the clinical record for two of three sampled residents (Residents 8 and 2) when:1.
Monitoring for wander guard device (a monitoring device used to ensure safety for residents at risk for
elopement/wandering) placement and function was not implemented and documented in Resident 8's
clinical record.2. Monitoring for pacemaker (a small, battery-powered device that prevents the heart from
beating too slowly) status and function was not implemented and documented in Resident 2's clinical
record.These monitoring oversight failures inaccurately reflect these residents' current health statuses
which could potentially compromise their health and safety.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 8's
admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive
brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a
pattern of mental decline caused by different diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental
health condition characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily
activities).During a review of Resident 8's Wandering Risk Assessments (a tool used to assess the
likelihood of wandering in residents, particularly those with cognitive impairments or dementia), completed
on various dates, the assessments indicated the following wandering risk scores: 4/30/25 = 18 (high risk),
5/28/25 = 18 (high risk), 8/27/25 = 12 (high risk), and 11/27/25 = 11 (high risk).During a review of Resident
8's Care Plan Report, initiated 5/30/25, the Care Plan indicated in part, The resident is an elopement risk
(refers to the likelihood a resident may leave the facility unsupervised and unnoticed)/wanderer r/t (related
to) disoriented to place, history of attempts to leave facility unattended. The interventions/tasks for
implementation specific to this care plan included, WANDER ALERT: wears on ankle, on nurses' EMAR
(electronic medication administration record) for monitoring placement and function (initiated
5/30/25.During a review of Resident 8's Order Audit Report, dated 1/8/26, the Report indicated, a physician
order dated 12/22/25, WANDER GUARD. check wander guard for placement and function every day
shift.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 2:45 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON confirmed the order was transcribed in the resident's Treatment Administration Record
(TAR) instead of the EMAR as indicated in the care plan. Further review of Resident 8's November and
December 2025 TARs revealed a lack of daily staff documentation for the order. The DON acknowledged
the oversight and confirmed that staff should have properly implemented the monitoring order. 2. During a
review of Resident 2's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 2 was a [AGE] year-old female who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
(episodes of irregular heartbeat that start and stop spontaneously), old myocardial infarction (heart attack),
ischemic cardiomyopathy (a heart condition caused by low blood flow to the heart muscle), and presence of
cardiac pacemaker.During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan Report, initiated 11/11/24, the Care Plan
indicated in part, The resident has a pacemaker. The care plan also indicated resident care
interventions/tasks for implementation, initiated 11/11/24, including, Monitor/document/report PRN (as
needed) any s/sx (signs/symptoms) of altered cardiac output or pacemaker malfunction: .PULSE RATE
LOWER THAN PROGRAMMED RATE, LOWER THAN BASELINE B/P (blood pressure).During a

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to revise one out of five sampled residents (Resident 36) care
plan following minimum data set (MDS - a standardized, comprehensive assessment tool used to collect
essential resident data) assessments. This failure resulted in inaccurate care planning for Resident 36's
healthcare needs.During review of Resident 36's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated
the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, chronic pain, pressure
ulcer (PU - injury to skin and tissue resulting from prolonged pressure) of left heel stage 2 (a shallow open
ulcer, with partial-thickness skin loss, and a red/pink base or intact/ruptured blister), encounter for palliative
care (care focused on end of life comfort, relieving symptoms, stress, and improving the quality of life), and
sepsis (an overactive response to an infection that damages its own tissues, organs, and systems, leading
to potential organ failure and death if not treated rapidly). During review of Resident 36's Care Plan (CP),
dated 2/27/25, the CP indicated, the resident used anti-anxiety medication (Ativan) related to end stage
disease and hospice care and the CP dated 5/20/25 indicated, the resident uses antidepressant medication
(Remeron) related to depression. Further review of Resident 36's Comprehensive MDS, dated [DATE] and
Quarterly MDS assessments dated 5/27/25, 8/18/25, and 11/10/25, the MDS assessments indicated, the
resident did not have anxiety or depression diagnoses and was not taking antianxiety or antidepressant
medications. During review of Resident 36's Order Summary (OS), dated 1/08/26, indicates there are no
active orders for Ativan (Lorazepam) or Remeron (Mirtazapine) or any other type of antidepressant or
anti-anxiety medication. The OS indicates Lorazepam 0.5 mg (milligrams) every 2 hours as needed for
anxiety m/b (manifested by) nausea, apprehension, uncontrolled movement for 14 days was ordered on
2/27/25 and discontinued on 3/13/25. The medication was re-ordered with a start date of 3/12/25 and
discontinued on 3/26/25. Remeron 7.5 mg by mouth at bedtime for depression was ordered on 5/19/25 and
discontinued on 5/20/25. During a concurrent interview and review on 1/8/26 at 3:45 p.m. with the Director
of Nursing (DON), Resident 36's OS dated, 1/8/26 and CP's dated, 2/27/25 and 5/20/25 were reviewed.
DON stated Resident 36 was prescribed Ativan and Remeron for hospice comfort care but the medications
were discontinued because the resident never took them. DON acknowledged the resident's care plan was
inaccurate and was not updated to reflect the resident's status at the time of the MDS assessments. During
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Planning, dated 7/1/14, the P&P indicated in
part, Purpose: To assure that all residents care needs are identified through continuous assessments and
that those needs are care planned with corresponding measurable objectives and adequate
interventions.Procedure: 5.As the resident's assessment changes, the MDS nurse should update the care
plan as appropriate.7. The care plan.should present a current picture of the resident and the care they
need.

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 the provision of resident care and services were
performed within acceptable professional nursing standards for three of six sampled residents (Residents 8,
45 and 36) when:1. Resident 8 missed their medication on several occasions, and there was no
subsequent follow-up by the nursing staff.2. Resident 45's oxygen (O2) saturations (02 sats- measure of 02
in the blood) were not consistently documented in the clinical record.3. Resident 36 was treated with
Calmoseptine Ointment (a multi-purpose moisture barrier used to soothe and protect irritated skin from
moisture, itching, and discomfort) for a wound without a physician's order.These failures had the potential to
result in unsafe nursing care practices which could compromise the health and safety of these
residents.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR
indicate, Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission
diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory,
thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a pattern of mental decline caused by different
diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive
fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily activities).
Residents Affected - Few
During a review of Resident 8's Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 1/10/26, the MRR indicated the
medication order, Quetiapine Fumarate [an antipsychotic medication primarily used to manage psychosis
(including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought) that treats schizophrenia (a serious
mental health condition that affects how people think, feel and behave) and bipolar disorder (a mental
health condition where you have extreme mood changes)] oral tablet. give 100 milligram (mg) by mouth at
bedtime manifested by (m/b) frantic and fearful statements and pacing. ordered 9/29/25.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/26 at 2:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 8's Medication Administration Records (MARs), for the months of November and December 2025
were reviewed, respectively. The administration records for the medication Quetiapine Fumarate give 100
mg. at bedtime indicated Resident 8 missed this medication on several occasions as follows: for November
2025, 20 out of 30 days and for December 2025, 17 out of 31 days. The documented reason for these
missed doses under the MAR's chart codes, was that Resident 8 was sleeping (number 7 on the chart
code) at the time of the administration. Resident 8's clinical record failed to indicate documentation that the
physician was notified, or nursing staff followed up on the resident for these missed doses. DON verified the
findings and verbalized that staff should have followed up with the resident after each missed dose and
should have informed the interdisciplinary team (IDT - a group of health care professionals with various
areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their clients) so proper discussions were made in
terms of managing the medication administration timing and frequency.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Psychotherapeutic Medication (any drug
that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) Use, dated 10/7/24, the P&P
indicated in part, Purpose: To assure that monitoring is done when psychotherapeutic medications are
given. Procedure: .5) Give medications as ordered. 7) Monitor for and document effectiveness of the
medication. If ineffective, notify the physician.

2. During a review of Resident 45's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 45 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of panlobular emphysema (a severe form of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease [COPD- a lung disease which makes it difficult to breathe] where the lung's air sacs are
destroyed throughout causing large, air-filled pockets and impaired gas exchange, leading to shortness of
breath.)
During an observation on 1/6/26 at 12:10 p.m. in the Dining Room, Resident 45 was observed eating lunch
while on 2 liters of oxygen. On 1/7/26 at 3:20 p.m. the resident was observed without oxygen self-propelling
in the wheelchair towards Nursing Station 1 saying, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. I need my oxygen.
During a review of Resident 45's Order Summary (OS), dated 1/8/26, the OS indicated, Supplemental O2 if
below 88% for comfort, 2 liters as needed for O2 less than 88%. Review of Resident 45's The
Hospice/Comfort Care Progress Notes, dated 11/22/25-1/1/26 indicated the O2 saturations were
inconsistently monitored. Oxygen saturations were obtained on 11/22/25-11/25/25, 11/27/25-11/28/25,
12/4/25, 12/6/25, 12/9/25, 12/11/25, 12/18/25, 12/19/25, 12/24/25, 12/28/25, and 1/1/26.
During an interview on 1/8/26 at 2:48 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated O2 saturations should have been
documented every shift for Resident 45. The DON stated nursing staff needed to assess the status of the
resident's breathing and O2 saturations to determine the resident's need for O2.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Administration, dated 10/8/24, the P&P indicated, A.

3. During a review of Resident 36's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 34 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of pressure ulcer (PU - injury to skin and tissue resulting from prolonged
pressure) of left heel, stage 2 (a shallow open ulcer, with partial-thickness skin loss, and a red/pink base or
intact/ruptured blister).
During a review of Resident 36's admission Summary Progress Note, dated February 26, 2025, the
Progress Note indicated in part, Has an old wound to his left heel measuring at 1.5 cm x 2cm. Area was
cleaned and covered no drainage was noted area is tender.Redness to right heel was noted blanchable.
Has slight redness to coccyx (small triangular bone on the base of the spinal column) area applying

Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility failed to obtain monthly weights for one of
four sampled residents (Resident 4).This failure had the potential for undetected weight fluctuations that
could signal underlying health problems.Findings:During a concurrent interview and record review on
1/8/26 at 3:30 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 4's Current vital signs (CVS), dated 1/8/26
were reviewed. The CVS indicated, the last monthly weight for Resident 4 was obtained on 8/27/24. DON
verbalized monthly weights should be obtained for every resident, a notation in the chart should indicate
why a monthly weight was not obtained. DON confirmed there were no nursing notes or dietary notes
present in Resident 4's medical record that provided an explanation for why the monthly weights were not
done.During an interview on 1/8/26 at 3:45 p.m. with Resident 4, Resident 4 verbalized, the facility can

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a physician provided timely consultation or
treatment when contacted by the facility to address a change in condition for two of five sampled residents'
(Residents 23 and 28). This deficient practice resulted in a delay in care and treatment to meet Residents
23's and 28's immediate care needs and had the potential to result in an avoidable deterioration in health.
During review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Change of Condition, dated 9/30/24, the
P&P indicated in part, Purpose: To ensure that appropriate care and documentation occurs when residents
experience a change of condition. Procedure: 2. Notify the attending physician promptly.5. Follow up nursing
assessments and monitoring until the condition has stabilized .What is a Change of Condition? .Any
sudden or marked change in:.Abnormal lab or X-ray reports.Open or red areas.Bruises, lacerations,
blisters, rashes, or skin tears. a. During review of Resident 23's admission Record (AR), dated 1/9/26, the
AR indicated, the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, Parkinson's disease (a
brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and
difficulty with balance and coordination), dementia (a decline in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills
severe enough to interfere with daily life, caused by brain cell damage), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (the
body cannot use insulin correctly and sugar builds up in the blood) with diabetic peripheral angiopathy
(poor circulation in the legs/feet). During an interview with Resident 23's responsible party (RP) on 1/6/26 at
3:04 p.m., RP stated Resident 23 had developed blisters in September 2025 but there was a delay in care
because the facility physician did not respond to the resident's change in condition. RP stated the staff were
informed that Resident 23 had a medical history of bullous pemphigoid (a rare, chronic autoimmune skin
disease causing large, itchy, fluid-filled blisters and hives) and needed to see a dermatologist (a medical
doctor that specializes in conditions and diseases of the skin) yet no action was taken by the facility until
approximately two weeks later after Resident 23's skin condition got worse. During review of Resident 23's
Progress Notes (PN), dated 9/15/25 - 9/25/25, the PN's indicated, a licensed nurse had identified a 3 cm
(centimeter - a metric unit of length) x 1.5 cm fluid filled blister on Resident 23's right outer index finger on
9/15/25. The physician and resident 23's RP were notified on 9/15/25. On 9/21/2025 the certified nursing
assistant reported the resident may be biting or gnawing on hand. In the following days, additional fluid filled
blisters developed on the resident's right hand fingers and right plantar foot and some blisters had busted
open. Progress notes dated 9/22/25 and 9/24/25 indicated, staff were awaiting physician response. The
physician called the facility on 9/25/25 (10 days after the initial notification in change of condition) with
instructions to make an urgent dermatologist appointment. Resident 23 was seen by the dermatologist on
9/25/25 and returned to the facility with new medication orders. Review of Resident 23's Order Summary
(OS), dated 1/9/25, the OS indicated, the following medications were ordered on 9/25/25 after the
dermatology appointment:Doxycycline Monohydrate (antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) 100 mg
(milligrams - a unit of mass or weight) two times a day for bullous pemphigoid for 30 daysMupirocin
(antibiotic used for bacterial skin infections) external ointment 2% (percent) apply to hands topically every
shift to prevent cellulitis (bacterial infection of the skin's deeper layers and underlying tissues) until
healed.Prednisone (medication to reduce swelling and redness) 50 mg in the morning for bullous
pemphigoid for 30 days During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/9/26 at 9:38 a.m. with the
Director of Nursing (DON) Resident 23's PNs, dated 9/15/25-9/25/25 were reviewed. DON acknowledged
that Resident 23 had a change of condition and staff should have pursued daily facility physician
notifications
