Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report alleged abuse or mistreatment for
Resident 32 to the appropriate authorities.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in the event not being investigated completely, which could lead to
further events of abuse or mistreatment.
Findings:
During an interview on 8/14/24 at 9:41 a.m. with Resident 32, Resident 32 stated approximately one year
ago, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) 1 touched her in a way that she felt was inappropriate. Resident
32 stated she felt very, very uncomfortable about the incident and she reported the event to facility staff a
short time after it happened. Resident 32 stated after the event, she did not like having CNA 1 near her
because she felt uncomfortable.
During a record review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 32, the Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a resident assessment instrument used to identify resident care problems to be addressed in an
individualized care plan) was reviewed. The MDS, dated 7/21/23, indicated Resident 32 had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status score of 15 (BIMS, is a scoring system used to determine the resident's
cognitive status in regard to attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information. A BIMS
score of thirteen to fifteen is an indication of intact cognitive status.).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/24 at 10:47 a.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the EMR for Resident 32 was reviewed. The progress notes in the EMR indicated that on 5/26/23,
Resident 32 expressed concern about an event when a male care staff member jiggled her abdomen while
he was performing pericare (the process of cleaning the genital and anal areas of the body) on her. The
DON stated that after the event, she spoke with CNA 1 and CNA 1 denied the event. The DON stated the
interview with CNA 1 was the only investigation done into the event. The DON stated that there is no
documentation of follow up with Resident 32 after the event documented in the EMR. The DON stated that
the facility did not inform the ombudsman (an official who advocates for the rights of residents in nursing
homes) or the California Department of Public Health (CDPH, a California government agency that
investigates incidents in nursing homes) about this incident and they should have been notified.
During a phone interview with CNA 1 on 8/14/24 at 1:42 p.m., CNA 1 stated that he did not remember
being interviewed about the incident.
During an interview on 8/16/24 at 10:27 a.m. with Administrator (ADM), ADM stated the event was

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete the required Preadmission Screening
and Resident Review (PASARR, a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals who have a mental
disorder or intellectual disabilities are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care) for
one of three sampled residents (Resident 63).
Residents Affected - Few
PASARR requires that 1) all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility be evaluated for a serious
mental disorder and/or intellectual disability; 2) be offered the most appropriate setting for their needs (in
the community, a nursing facility, or acute care setting); and 3) receive the services they need in those
settings.)
This failure had the potential to result in residents not receiving appropriate care for their mental disorders
or intellectual disabilities.
During a review of Resident 63's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 63 was
initially admitted to the facility in January 2024 with multiple diagnoses, including developmental disorder of
scholastic skills (a type of intellectual disability) and other specified disorders of the brain.
During a review of Resident 63's PASARR, dated 12/27/23, the PASARR indicated if the individual remains
in the nursing facility longer than 30 days, the facility should resubmit a new screening on the 31st day.
During an interview on 8/15/24 at 10:07 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated the reason for
doing the PASARR is to assess residents and make sure that residents get appropriate care.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/15/24 at 12:20 p.m. with DON, DON stated the facility
did not complete a PASARR for Resident 63 after Resident 63 had been at the nursing facility after 31 days.
DON stated a PASARR should have been completed because Resident 63 had a diagnosis of an
intellectual disability.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services to
meet the needs of residents by failing to ensure the proper storage and destruction of narcotic (a drug that
relieves pain and induces drowsiness) medication and the delivery of the correct dose of medication as
ordered by the physician when:
1. Narcotic medication was stored in an unlocked drawer in Director of Nursing (DON) office, with 7 missing
narcotic medications.
2. Narcotic medication was missing during a random narcotic audit for two of three sampled residents
(Residents 24 and 64).
3. Resident 24 was undermedicated with diazepam (medication used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms,
seizures, and alcohol withdrawal).
4. Resident 29 received the incorrect dose of Lactulose (medication used to treat constipation and
to lower ammonia level in the blood for patients with liver disease).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in drug diversion (illegal distribution or abuse of
prescription drugs or their use for unintended purposes) and inaccurate drug dosages which could result in
adverse outcomes.
Findings
1. During concurrent observation and interview on 8/12/24 at 3:35 p.m. with DON, DON showed a locked
file cabinet located in her office desk, filled with Residents' narcotics from over a year ago. DON stated she
works with the pharmacy consultant to destroy medications. There were additional narcotic medications
above the locked cabinet, in a drawer in DON's office desk that was unlocked. There were seven narcotic
medications identified on narcotic reconciliation for Resident 325 and Resident 326 that were missing. List
of the medications in the unlocked drawer, waiting for destruction:
a. Bubble pack of lorazepam .5 mg tablet, 21 tablets, date issued 4/24/24, for Resident 325. The count
sheet showed 24 tablets, but the bubble pack had only 18 tablets. There were six tablets missing.
b. Bubble pack of oxycodone (a narcotic used for moderate to severe pain) 5 mg tablet three tablets, date
issued 6/17/2023, for Resident 46. There were three tablets but no count sheet.
c. Bubble pack of lorazepam .5 mg 27 tablets, date issued 8/4/23, for Resident 326. There were 27 tablets
but count sheet says 28 tablets.
d. One single pack of hydrocodone (a narcotic used to treat moderate pain) 5-325 tablet date issued
6/23/24, for Resident 40. One tablet bag, dated 6/23/24, was supposed to be wasted but was given to DON
to waste.

g. One single pack of lorazepam .5 mg tablet from emergency kit (e-kit), date issued 2/20/23. A record
review indicated one tablet had been taken from E kit but not used. One tablet was placed into a plastic bag
and stapled to the count sheet with two nurses' signatures.
During an interview on 8/12/24 at 3:35 p.m. with DON, DON stated the facility does not keep a log of the
narcotic medication for destruction including name of resident, date, name of drug, dose of drug, quantity of
drug, and name and signature of nursing handing over narcotic and nurse receiving narcotic scheduled for
destruction. from whom, date, drug dose, quantity. The DON acknowledged the narcotic medications should
have been stored in a locked cabinet until they could be destroyed with Pharmacy Consultant (PC).
During an interview on 8/13/24 at 11:30 a.m. with PC, PC stated PC provides monthly oversight to the
facility and usually spends two hours on narcotic destruction with DON. PC stated she was last at the
facility in July 2024, but had no knowledge of the narcotics in an unlocked drawer of DON's office. PC
stated the last time narcotic destruction occurred was in June 2024.
2. During a random review of residents receiving narcotic medication and interview on 8/14/24 at 9:50 AM
with DON, the narcotic reconciliation did not match up with the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for
Resident 24 and Resident 64.
a. During a review of Resident 24's Controlled Drug Record, hydrocodone/APAP 5/325 milligrams was
signed out on 5/15/24 without documentation on the MAR. DON stated it should be documented on the
MAR to account for the medication.
b. During a review of Resident 64's Controlled Drug Record, hydrocodone/APAP 5/325 milligrams was
signed out on 7/19/24, 7/29/24, 7/30/24, 8/2/24, and 8/13/24 without documentation on the MAR. DON
stated it should be documented on the MAR to account for the medication.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/24 at 10:32 a.m. with DON, DON verified two out
of three patients were missing documentation of narcotics and the narcotics are not accounted for.
3. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/24 at 9:25 a.m. with DON, Resident 24's MAR
was reviewed. The MAR indicated an order for diazepam 5 milligrams every six hours PRN. Nursing staff
were administering only half of the physician prescribed order, 6 times. (Order was changed to one tablet 5
milligrams every six hours PRN on 6/30/24, but nurses were giving only 2.5 milligrams on 7/24/24 at 5:51

Findings
During an observation on 8/12/24 at 4:18 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 prepared medication for
Resident 29 to be delivered via gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through a surgically created hole
through the abdomen to deliver food/medications/fluids directly into the stomach) during evening
medication schedule. During preparation, RN 1 placed clonazepam 1.5 milligrams, Ducolax stool softener
100 milligrams, Calcium 500 milligram oyster shell, Senna tablet 8.6 milligram, multivitamin with iron and
folic acid, and Vitamin B1 100 milligrams and placed in a plastic bag and pounded the medication together
until they turned to a powder. RN 1 then mixed powdered medications with the valproic acid liquid and
warm water. RN 1 then extracted the liquid into a large syringe and administered the cocktail via resident's
G-tube. He then followed with a flush of water and resumed G-tube feeding.
During an interview on 8/12/24 at 5:33 p.m. with RN 1, RN 1 stated the pills are always crushed together
when administering via G-tube and it is common practice.
During an interview on 8/13/24 at 11:36 a.m. with Director of Staff Development (DSD), DSD stated when
giving medications via G-tube, each pill should be individually crushed and diluted with water and given
individually followed by a flush. DSD stated the pills should not be grounded all together, mixed together,
and given at the same time via G-tube.
During a record review on 8/12/24 of Resident 29's Physician Order Report, dated August 2024, Resident
29 was scheduled to receive MiraLAX and lactulose which were not given.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/12/24 at 5:33 p.m. with RN 1, RN 1 stated that they did
not give the Lactulose because he didn't have it in the medication cart. He looked in the medication cart
and could not find the lactulose. I held the medication because I didn't have it. RN 1 stated that he will give
the MiraLAX later and will order the lactulose through pharmacy. RN 1 stated that he did not know how long
Resident 29 had been out of lactulose.
During an observation on 8/13/24 at 9:25 a.m., Licensed Vocation Nurse (LVN) 1 administered medications
to Resident 26. On reconciliation, LVN 1 did not administer multivitamin which was ordered for Resident 26.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/13/24 at 10:41 a.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated she
forgot to give the multivitamin (MVI). I missed it. LVN 1 documented the MVI was given but remembers that
it was not given to Resident 26

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the safe storage, labeling, open date,
expiration date, and disposal of medications and vaccinations. Medications and vaccines were not stored
and maintained within standards for safety when:
1. Over the counter eye drops were not labeled with resident's name.
2. Two open inhalers did not have opened dates and one open inhaler was expired and still being used.
3. One aplisol multidose TB vial opened without a documented open date with instructions to discard
product after 30 days of being opened.
4. Twenty-one vaccine syringes, stored in medication refrigerator, expired 6/30/2024.
5. Intravenous (IV) heparin flushes were expired 7/20/24 in the emergency kit (E-kit is a limited supply of
medication and intravenous supplies for urgent use in a sealed box.)
6. One e-kit was unsealed and had a documented open date of May 2024.
7. Medication/vaccine refrigerator temperature was not monitored twice daily and not consistently
monitored daily for eight out of eight months.
These failures had the potential to result in residents being given medication and vaccines with
questionable potency and efficacy.

fluticasone/salmeterol inhaler with an expiration date of 7/10/24 and no open date. LVN 2 stated it has an
open date of 7/10/24 and expired one month later, per manufacturer which would have expired on 8/10/24.
LVN 2 acknowledged it had been used past the expiration date. LVN 2 stated that using expired medication
may alter effectiveness of the medication. Floater medication cart B had one vial of artificial tears with a
room number but not a Resident's name, dated 7/3/24.
During an observation on 8/12/24 at 11:50 a.m. of medication cart B, there was an inhaler with no open
date and a notice to discard one month after open date.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to clean dishes in a safe and sanitary
method when the dishwasher did not reach the required temperature.
Residents Affected - Many
This failure had the potential to result in 65 residents being served food on dishes that were not sanitized,
which could lead to the spread of disease.
Findings:
During an observation on 8/13/24 at 10:41 a.m. in the kitchen, the highest temperature reached by the
dishwasher was 110 degrees (°) Fahrenheit (F, a unit to measure temperature). During a second
observation on 8/13/24 at 10:44 a.m., the highest temperature reached by the dishwasher was 110°F.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/13/24 at 11:11 a.m. with the Dietary Manager (DM), it
was observed that the highest temperature reached by the dishwasher was 110°F. The Dietary
Manager stated she would run the dishwasher again. During the second run of the dishwasher, the highest
temperature reached was 110°F. The DM stated that the minimum safe temperature for the dishwasher
is 120°F.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/14/24 at 3:41 p.m. with the Maintenance Supervisor
(MS), the Maintenance Log was reviewed. MS stated the dishwasher booster (a device that makes the
water for the dishwasher hotter) was broken. MS stated the broken booster was not entered in the
maintenance log and should be there.
During an interview on 8/14/24 at 3:49 p.m. with the facility Administrator (ADM), ADM stated she had not
been informed the dishwasher booster was broken and did not know the dishwasher was not reaching the
minimum required temperature.
During an observation on 8/16/24 at 11:00 a.m. in the kitchen, the highest temperature reached by the
dishwasher was observed to be 105°F.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/16/24 at 11:04 a.m. with DM of the dishwasher
temperature, the highest temperature reached by the dishwasher was 105°F. DM stated the
dishwasher temperature was not high enough. The DM stated she would run the dishwasher again and the
highest temperature reached during the second run was 105°F. DM stated the minimum safe
temperature for the dishwasher is 120°F. DM stated that the risk of the dishwasher not reaching the
minimum temperature is that the dishes might not be cleaned or sterilized, which is not safe for the
residents.
During a review of the manufacturer's specifications for the ES2000 dishwasher, titled ES-2000 Dish
machine, undated, the manufacturer specified the minimum operating temperature for the wash and
sanitizing rinse was 120°F.
