Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
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 provide reasonable accommodation of needs
for two of 20 sampled residents (Resident 48 and 87) by failing to ensure the resident's call light was within
reach as indicated on the facility's policy and procedure titled, Call Lights: Accessibility and Timely
Response, and the resident's plan of care.
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 48 and 87 to not receive the needed care and services
due to Resident 48 and 87's inability to call staff for assistance.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 48's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 48 on 9/24/2021,
with diagnoses of unspecified dementia (memory loss which interferes with daily functioning) and repeated
falls.
A review of Resident 48's Care Plan, dated on 9/1/2021, indicated Resident 48 was at high risk for fall. The
interventions included for the staff to place the resident's call light within reach and encourage Resident 48
to use it for assistance.
A review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care screening tool), dated
2/27/2023, indicated Resident 48 had severely impaired memory and cognition (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 48 required extensive assistance
with one person physical assist for bed mobility, dressing, and toilet use and total dependence (full staff
assistance all the time) for bathing.
During an observation on 3/14/2023 at 9:34 am, with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2), Resident 48 was lying in
bed with the call light hanging on the left side rails.
During an interview on 3/14/2023 at 9:36 am, RN 2 stated, Resident 48's call light needed to be within
reach, so that Resident 48 could use the call light if she needed help or assistance.
During an interview on 3/14/2023 at 9:56 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Resident 48's call light
needed to be within reach so the resident could use the call light to call for assistance.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Call light: Accessibility and Timely Response,
dated 9/2/2022, indicated, the staff will ensure the call light is within reach of resident and secured, as
needed. The P&P indicated the call light system will be accessible to residents while in their bed or other
sleeping accommodations within the residents' room.

b. A review of Resident 87's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 87 on 1/8/2023, with
diagnoses that included muscle wasting and atrophy (muscle shrinking), Alzheimer's disease, (progressive
disorder that causes brain cells to waste away and die) and history of falling.
A review of Resident 87's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 87 had severely impaired memory and
cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated
Resident 87 required limited assistance with one person physical assist for transfer, walking, locomotion on
and off unit, dressing, and toilet use and required extensive assistance with personal hygiene and bathing.
A review of Resident 87's Care Plan, undated, indicated Resident 87 was at risk for falls. The nursing
interventions included for the staff to place the resident's call light within reach and encourage the resident
to use the call light for assistance as needed.
During an observation on 3/14/2023 at 10:12 am, with RN 2, Resident 87 was sitting at the edge of the bed
with the call light hanging on the right side rails next to the head board. Resident 87 stated, she could not
use her call light and was unable to reach it.
During an interview on 3/14/2023 at 10:12 am, RN 2 stated, Resident 87 needed to have her call light
within reach. RN 2 stated, Resident 87 needed to visibly see her call light so that she could use the call
light to call for help.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Call light: Accessibility and Timely Response, dated
9/2/2022, indicated, the staff will ensure the call light is within reach of resident and secured, as needed.

Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide personal privacy for one of
20 sampled residents (Resident 77). Resident 77 was visible from the hallway with the lower part of the
resident's body uncovered, exposing her adult brief and legs while in bed.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to violate Resident 77's right to privacy and negatively affect
Resident 77's psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
A review of Resident 77's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 6/11/2022, with
diagnoses that included epilepsy (a brain disorder that causes recurring, unprovoked seizures), profound
intellectual disabilities (individuals who cannot live independently, and require close supervision and help
with self-care activities for having very limited ability to communicate and physical limitations), quadriplegia
(paralysis that affects all a person's limbs and body from the neck down), aphasia (a language disorder
caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension),
and unspecified anxiety disorder (a mental health condition which interferes with the ability to function).
A review of Resident 77's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 12/6/2022, indicated the resident did not have the ability to make self understood and understand
others, and was severely impaired in her cognitive skills (core skills the brain uses to think, read, learn,
remember, reason, and pay attention) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated the resident was totally
dependent on the staff for bed mobility, transfer, locomotion on and off the unit, dressing, eating, toilet use,
and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated the resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
During an observation on 3/14/23 at 9:09 am, Resident 77 was observed awake, lying in a low bed, with
bilateral 1/4 side rails up and a floor mat on the right side of the bed. Resident 77 was moving her lower
extremities sideways left and right with the lower part of her body uncovered, and the resident's adult brief
and legs exposed. The resident's privacy curtain was partially closed, and the resident's lower part of the
body including her adult brief was visible from the hallway outside her room.
During an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 3/14/2023 at 9:09 am, the DSD
confirmed that Resident 77's lower part of the body including her adult brief was visible from the hallway.
The DSD proceeded to cover the resident's lower part of the body with the resident's blanket. The DSD
stated that Resident 77 moved a lot and was a fall risk. The DSD stated the staff needed to monitor the
resident closely that was why the staff could not completely close the resident's privacy curtain. The DSD
stated that the staff could close the privacy curtain a little bit more to cover Resident 77 and prevent the
resident's body from being exposed from the hallway.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Promoting/Maintaining Resident Dignity, revised on
9/2/2022, indicated it was the practice of the facility to protect and promote resident rights and treat each
resident with respect and dignity as well as care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that
maintains or enhances resident's quality of life. The policy indicated all staff will maintain resident privacy.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility staff failed to follow their policy and procedures to
accurately document the personal belongings/possessions of two of 20 sampled residents (Residents 9
and 62).
a. For Resident 9, the facility staff did not update the resident's inventory sheet to include (two)
electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) that were brought in and stored at the facility during the resident's
admission to the facility.
b. For Resident 62, the facility failed to record Resident 62's personal inventory upon admission to the
facility on 3/11/2021.
These deficient practices had the potential to cause a negative impact on Resident 9 and Resident 62's
psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
12/5/2022, with multiple diagnoses including difficulty in walking, severe obesity (excessive body fat),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to
breathe), and hypertensive heart disease (heart problems due to high blood pressure over a long period of
time) with heart failure.
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 12/9/2022, indicated the resident did not have an impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 9 required limited,
one-person assistance with transfers, walking, and locomotion on and off unit. The MDS indicated Resident
9 normally used walker and wheelchair for mobility devices.
A review of Resident 9's History & Physical, dated 2/29/2023, indicated Resident 9 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
During an interview on 3/14/2023 at 9:56 am, Resident 9 stated he had brought (two) EPWs to the facility,
but he did not know where they were stored. Resident 9 stated he was concerned the EPWs were not
being recharged or maintained.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:59 pm, the Director of Social Services (DSS) stated Resident 9 was
admitted to the facility with two EPWs that were stored in the facility's storage room. The DSS stated she
did not update Resident 9's inventory sheet to include the EPWs.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 4:03 pm, the Maintenance Supervisor (MS) stated Resident 9 was
admitted to the facility with two EPWs. The MS stated Resident 9 asked if the batteries of the EPWs could
be recharged every two weeks. The MS stated there was no company that regularly serviced the units.
During a concurrent observation, two EPWs, one of which would not turn on, were observed in the outside
storage room.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 10:47 am, the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) stated the

Residents Affected - Some
admitting nurse or the staff who received the EPWs should have documented the EPWs in the inventory of
belongings to ensure an accurate inventory necessary to protect the resident's belongings. During a
concurrent review of Resident 9's inventory sheet titled, Resident's Clothing and Possessions, (undated), it
indicated, No belongings upon admission.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Resident Personal Belongings, dated 9/2/2022,
indicated the following:
1. The facility must protect the resident's right to possess personal belongings and assure they would be
rightfully returned to the resident or to the resident's representative in the event of the resident's death or
discharge from the facility.
2. All resident personal items would be inventoried at the time of admission by the social services designee
or another designated staff member and documentation retained in the medical record.
3. Additional possessions brought in during the duration of the resident's stay must be added to the existing
personal belongings inventory listing.
b. A review of Resident 62's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 62 on 3/10/2021.
Resident 62's diagnoses included unspecified atrial fibrillation (irregular and often very rapid heart rate),
major depressive disorder (depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and
loss of interest and can interfere with your daily functioning), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and
hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure).
A review of Resident 62's Census List (record of hospitalizations, room changes, and payer source
changes) indicated Resident 62 did not leave the facility since admission on [DATE].
A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 12/15/2022, indicated Resident 62 had clear speech, sometimes expressed ideas and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident
62 was totally dependent (full staff performance every time) for eating, dressing, and personal hygiene. The
MDS also indicated Resident 62 had functional ROM limitations in both arms and both legs.
A review of Resident 62's Clothing and Possessions, dated 8/10/2021, indicated two pajamas and one pair
of gray pants.
During an observation on 3/15/2023 at 2:20 pm in Resident 62's room, Resident 62 was awake, alert, and
spoke in short sentences. Resident 62 was lying in bed with the head-of-bed (HOB) elevated almost upright
and wore a hospital gown.
During an observation on 3/16/2023 at 9:19 am in Resident 62's room, Resident 62 was awake, alert, and
verbal. Resident 62 was lying in bed with the HOB elevated almost upright and wore a hospital gown.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 10:14 am, Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) stated Resident 62
wore a gown because Resident 62 did not have any clothes to wear. CNA 2 stated Resident 62's family did
not provide any clothes. CNA 2 stated Resident 62 wore borrowed clothes from the facility's

During an observation on 3/16/2023 at 5:46 pm in Resident 62's room, Resident 62 was lying in bed with
the HOB elevated and wore a hospital gown.
Residents Affected - Some
During a telephone interview on 3/17/2023 at 10:27 am, Resident 62's Responsible Party (RRP 1) stated
Resident 62 had many clothes upon admission to the facility. RRP 1 stated the facility staff used to tell RRP
1 that Resident 62 was overdressed. RRP 1 stated Resident 62 had at least four shirts, four dresses, four
pairs of pants to match every shirt, and white fluffy house shoes. RRP 1 stated the facility never informed
RRP 1 that Resident 62 did not have any clothes.
During an interview on 3/17/2023 at 11:31 am, the Hospice Certified Nursing Assistant (CHHA 1) stated
Resident 62 wore a hospital gown since Resident 62 did not have any clothes. CHHA 1 stated Resident 62
used to have long sleeve blouses. CHHA 1 opened Resident 62's closet, two drawers located below the
closet, and three drawers of the bedside drawers. Resident 62 did not have any clothing in these locations.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/17/2023 at 3:19 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON)
reviewed Resident 62's Clothing and Possessions inventory, dated 8/10/2021. The DON stated these were
items added to Resident 62's inventory and should have another inventory upon admission to the facility. In
a concurrent interview, the Director of Medical Records (DMR) stated DMR reviewed Resident 62's entire
clinical record and did not locate Resident 62's inventory from admission.
During a follow-up telephone interview on 3/17/2023 at 3:34 pm, RRP 1 stated Resident 62 had too many
items and good clothes upon admission to the facility. RRP 1 did not take an inventory of Resident 62's
clothes upon admission since RRP 1 could not enter the facility due to the Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19,
infectious viral disease that can cause respiratory illness) restrictions.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Resident Personal Belongings, revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated All resident personal items will be inventoried at the time of admission by the social services
designee, or another designated staff member and documentation shall be retained in the medical record.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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 ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a
standardized assessment and care planning tool) for one of 20 sampled residents (Residents 57)
accurately reflected the resident's bladder (organ that stores urine) function.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inconsistencies and delay of individualized care and
services for Residents 57.
Findings:
A review of Resident 57's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 57 on 5/25/2018, with
diagnoses of difficulty in walking, repeated falls, and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (chronic digestive
disease where the liquid content of the stomach refluxes into the esophagus).
A review of Resident 57's MDS dated [DATE], indicated Resident 57 had severely impaired memory and
cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated
Resident 57 required extensive assistance with one person physical assist for transfer, dressing, and toilet
use. The MDS indicated Resident 57 had an indwelling catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder used to
drain urine from the bladder to the tube and the drainage bag) and was always continent (able to control) of
bladder.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 57 on 3/14/2023 at 11:10 am, Resident 57
was sitting in her wheelchair in the activity room without an indwelling urinary catheter. Resident 57 stated
she never had an indwelling urinary catheter in place while in the facility.
During an interview on 3/14/2023 at 11:12 am, RN 2 stated, Resident 57 did not have an indwelling urinary
catheter. RN 2 stated, Resident 57 was continent of bladder.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 9:33 am, the MDS Nurse (MDSN) stated, she saw Resident 57
physically and stated the resident did not have an indwelling urinary catheter currently and in 2/2023. The
MDSN stated, she miscoded the resident's MDS dated [DATE] under the bladder section. The MDSN stated
the MDS was the resident's assessment and needed to be accurate.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, MDS 3.0 Completion, dated 9/2/2022, indicated
that according to federal regulations, the facility conducts initially and periodically a comprehensive,
accurate and standardized assessment of each resident's functional capacity.

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 record review, the facility failed to develop care plans for four of 20 sampled
residents (Resident 13, 62, 1, and 9).
a. For Resident 13, the facility did not develop a care plan for a Restorative Nursing Program [RNP, nursing
program that uses restorative nursing aides (RNAs) to help residents maintain their function and joint
mobility] for ambulation (walking) in accordance with the Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the
restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) discharge recommendation on
6/17/2022.
This deficient practice prevented Resident 13 from walking for nine months since discharge from PT.
b. For Resident 62, who had impaired range of motion [ROM, full movement potential of a joint (where two
bones meet)] in both arms and both legs, the facility did not develop a care plan to address Resident 62's
decreased ROM and mobility.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 62 to develop ROM limitations, including the
development of contractures (chronic loss of joint motion associated with deformity and joint stiffness).
c. For Resident 1, who had impaired ROM in both arms and both legs, the facility did not develop a care
plan to address Resident 1's decreased ROM and mobility.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to develop ROM limitations, including the
development of contractures.
d. For Resident 9, the facility staff did not develop a care plan for the resident's inability to sleep for which
Melatonin (supplement to induce sleep) and Trazodone (antidepressant medication that can induce sleep)
were ordered.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause excessive sleep for Resident 9.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
5/11/2021, with multiple diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with dependence on supplemental
oxygen and chronic peripheral venous insufficiency (damaged leg veins causing problems moving blood
back to the heart).
A review of Resident 13's PT Treatment Encounter Note(s), dated 6/17/2022, indicated Physical Therapist 1
(PT 1) discussed with Resident 13 about Resident 13's discharge from PT. The PT Treatment Encounter
Note indicated Resident 13 agreed to transition to the Restorative Nursing Program (RNP) for ambulation.
A review of Resident 13's PT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 13 was safely
ambulated on level surfaces for 60 feet using a two-wheeled walker with minimum assistance from the

Residents Affected - Some
staff on 6/17/2022. The Discharge Summary indicated Resident 13 had a good prognosis to maintain
Resident 13's current level of functioning with consistent staff follow-through.
A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 1/5/2023, indicated the resident had moderate impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding), understood others, and expressed ideas and wants.
The MDS indicated Resident 13 required limited one-person assistance and/or guided maneuvering of
limbs with walking. The MDS indicated Resident 13's balance during transitions and walking was not steady
and only able to stabilize with staff assistance.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:44 pm, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated the residents on
RNP did not have any physician's orders for RNP services since the facility transitioned to paperless
electronic documentation. The DOR stated RNP services were implemented in a resident's care plan. The
DOR stated the DOR and the MDS Assistant (MDSA) had RNP meetings with the RNAs once per month.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:52 pm, the DOR and MDSA stated a resident's RNP care plan
included an RNP task in the electronic documentation system, which allowed the RNA to document the
RNP session. The DOR and MDSA stated RNP services were important to maintain a resident's functional
status.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 13's clinical records on 3/16/2023 at 6:01 pm, the
MDSA stated RNA was recommended for ambulation when Resident 13 was discharged from PT on
6/17/2022. The MDSA stated MDSA reviewed Resident 13's entire clinical record and did not locate a care
plan for RNA after discharge from PT on 6/17/2022. The MDSA stated the task for RNA was not created
since Resident 13 did not have a care plan for RNA. The MDSA stated there was no documented evidence
Resident 13 was seen for ambulation with RNA after discharge from PT on 6/17/2022.
During an interview on 3/17/2023 at 11:49 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated care plans were
important because it guided the resident's care.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Comprehensive Care Plans, revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated the comprehensive care plan will describe the services that are to be furnished to attain or
maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.

c. A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on
8/1/2008, and readmitted the resident on 2/15/2023. Resident 1's diagnoses included but was not limited to
kidney failure, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), attention to gastrostomy (G-tube, tube placed directly into
the stomach for long-term feeding), history of transient ischemic attack (brief stop of blood supply to the
brain) and cerebral infarction (brain damage due to a loss of oxygen to the area) without residual deficits.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 2/21/2023, indicated Resident 1 had unclear speech, sometimes expressed ideas and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, understand,
learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 1 was totally dependent (full staff performance every
time) for bed mobility, transfers between surfaces, dressing, eating, hygiene, toileting, and bathing. The
MDS indicated Resident 1 had functional ROM limitations in both arms and both legs.
A review of Resident 1's re-admission Joint Mobility Assessment (JMA, brief assessment of a resident's
range of motion in both arms and both legs), dated 2/16/2023, indicated Resident 1 raised both arms at the
shoulder joint to shoulder height and had full ROM in both elbows (straighten and bend without limitations),
full ROM in both wrists, nearly full ROM in both hands, full ROM in both hips, full ROM in both knees, and

disorder (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and post-traumatic stress disorder (developed
by individuals who experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event with symptoms like trouble sleeping
and nightmares).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 12/9/2022, indicated the resident did not have an impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 9 had sleeping problems
nearly every day.
A review of Resident 9's History & Physical, dated 2/29/2023, indicated Resident 9 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 9's active physician orders from 3/1/2023 through 3/17/2023 indicated the following
orders:
1. Give 1 tablet of Melatonin tablet 5 milligrams orally at bedtime for sleep.
2. Give 1 tablet of Trazodone HCl 100 milligrams orally at bedtime for depression manifested by inability to
sleep.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 9's clinical records on 3/16/2023 at 9:39 am,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated the licensed nurse must clarify the order with the physician if it
was necessary to administer two different medications to treat the sleeping problem. LVN 3 stated all
licensed staff must be aware of the care plan and ensure Resident 9's safety.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 9:50 am, Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) stated Melatonin and Trazodone
were both ordered as a sleep aid for Resident 9. RN 2 stated by administering both medications at the
same time, the licensed nurse would be unable to determine the effectiveness of each medication or
identify which medication was causing an adverse effect. RN 2 stated administering both medications could
cause a drug interaction, which could potentially lead to falls or oversedation.
During a follow-up interview and concurrent review of Resident 9's clinical records on 3/16/2023 at 11:03
am, RN 2 stated there were no notes or a care plan addressing Resident 9's sleeping problem to address
the administration of both Resident 9's Melatonin and Trazodone at the same time. RN 2 stated the licensed
nurse must initiate a care plan to address Resident 9's inability to sleep, verify the orders with the
physician, and clarify for any possible drug interactions and inform Resident 9.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled Comprehensive Care Plans, dated 9/2/2022, indicated
the following:
1. The facility must develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident
that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and
psychosocial needs identified in the resident's comprehensive assessment.
2. The resident comprehensive care plan must describe the resident-specific interventions that reflect the
resident's needs and preferences.
3. The comprehensive care plan must be reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after

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 provide appropriate services to maintain
activities of daily living (ADLs, tasks related to personal care including bathing, dressing, hygiene, eating,
and mobility) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 62) with mobility and range of motion concerns.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 62's decreased mobility, including transfers to a wheelchair and
assistance to go out of Resident 62's room.
Findings:
A review of Resident 62's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 62 on 3/10/2021.
Resident 62's diagnoses included unspecified atrial fibrillation (irregular and often very rapid heart rate),
major depressive disorder (depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and
loss of interest and can interfere with your daily functioning), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily activities), and
hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure).
A review of Resident 62's Census List (record of hospitalizations, room changes, and payer source
changes) indicated Resident 62 did not leave the facility since admission on [DATE].
A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 3/17/2021, indicated Resident 62 had clear speech, sometimes expressed ideas and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, understand,
learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 62 responded it was somewhat important to do things
with groups of people, do favorite activities, and go outside to get fresh air when the weather was good. The
MDS indicated Resident 62 was totally dependent (full staff performance every time) for transfers between
surfaces and locomotion on unit (how resident moves between locations in the room and adjacent corridor).
The MDS indicated Resident 62 participated in locomotion off unit (how resident moves to and from distant
areas in the facility) only once or twice during the seven-day assessment period.
A review of Resident 62's Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and
promotion of optimal physical function) Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated
Resident 62 met short-term goals which included sitting upright in a chair/wheelchair with proper
positioning for 60 minutes. The PT Discharge Plan indicated to use a mechanical lift when transferring
Resident 62 into the assigned wheelchair.

care. CNA 2 stated Resident 62 was usually repositioned in bed and did not get out of the bed. CNA 2
stated Resident 62 did not have visitors often but was transferred to the gerichair (reclining chair that allows
someone to get out of bed and sit comfortably in different positions while fully supported) for visits.
During an observation on 3/16/2023 at 11:29 am, Resident 62's bathroom did not have any wheelchair for
Resident 62.
During an interview and record review on 3/17/2023 at 3:40 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed
Resident 62's PT Discharge Summary and stated PT recommended a mechanical lift to transfer Resident
62 into a wheelchair. The DON reviewed Resident 62's Documentation Survey Report for locomotion off
unit and locomotion on unit and confirmed the report indicated not applicable for Resident 62. The DON
stated Resident 62 had no restrictions to get out of bed.
During a telephone interview on 3/17/2023 at 4:16 pm, the Hospice Registered Nurse (HRN 1) stated HRN
1 had never seen Resident 62 out of bed. HRN 1 stated Resident 62 could transfer into a gerichair which
would improve Resident 62's quality of life, make Resident 62 happy, and allow Resident 62 to have
something to look forward to.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated assisting with transfers was part of the care and services the facility may provide for ADLs.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 83) with pressure ulcers (areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for
too long) had the resident's low air loss mattress (LAL, a mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure
ulcers) set at the correct setting based on the resident's weight. Resident 83 weighed 100 pounds and
Resident 83's LAL mattress was set at 160 pounds.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in worsening and/or delay in healing of Resident 83's
pressure ulcers.
Findings:
A review of Resident 83's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 83 on
1/19/2023, and re-admitted the resident on 1/29/2023, with diagnosis that included respiratory failure (the
lungs failed to exchange gas effectively), cerebral palsy (a condition marked by impaired muscle
coordination and/or other disabilities, typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth),
quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) and multiple pressure ulcers (painful wound caused as a result of
pressure or friction).
A review of Resident 83's Order Summary Report dated 1/19/23, indicated a physician's order for LAL
mattress for wound management and for the staff to monitor LAL placement and function every shift.
A review of Resident 83's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 3/2/2023, indicated the resident had moderate impairment in cognitive (ability to think and process
information) skills, had multiple pressure ulcers (areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position
for too long) and required total dependence (full staff performance every time) from staff for bed mobility,
transfer, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 83's Skin Only Evaluation dated 3/13/2023, indicated the resident had stage 3 (full
thickness skin loss) pressure ulcers/injuries on the sacrococcyx (pertaining to both the sacrum and coccyx
[the tailbone]), right heel, right midback, and right ear.
During an observation, on 3/14/2023 at 9:58 am, Resident 83's low air loss mattress was set at 160
pounds.
During a concurrent observation and interview with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), on 3/14/2023 at
10 am, the IPN stated that Resident 83 was at high risk for pressure ulcers to the back and that the resident
was unable to move independently in bed. The IPN confirmed that the Resident 83's LAL was set at 160
pounds. The IPN stated, the treatment nurse (TXN 1) was responsible for checking the resident's LAL
mattress setting.
During an interview with TXN 1, on 3/14/2023 10 am, TXN 1 stated that she was not aware that Resident
83's LAL mattress was at the wrong setting. TXN 1 stated that the resident weighed 100 pounds and not
160 pounds. TXN 1 stated that it was important to set the LAL mattress based on manufacturer
recommendation which was to set the LAL mattress according to the resident's weight to promote wound
healing. TXN 1 stated that the LAL mattress should not be set too soft or too hard because the pressure
ulcer could worsen.

Residents Affected - Some
Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and services to three of five
sampled residents (Residents 62, 1, and 13) with mobility (ability to move) and range of motion [ROM, full
movement potential of a joint (where two bones meet)] concerns.
a. For Resident 62, the facility failed to:
1. Perform an annual Joint Mobility Assessment (JMA, brief assessment of a resident's range of motion in
both arms and both legs) since 1/12/2022 (over one year) in accordance with the facility's policy.
2. Provide passive range of motion (PROM, movement of a joint through the ROM with no effort from the
resident) or any splint (material used to restrict, protect, or immobilize a part of the body to support
function, assist and/or increase range of motion) to both arms and both legs since 4/5/2022 (over 11
months) in accordance with the facility's policy for Restorative Nursing Programs [RNP, nursing program
that use a restorative nursing aide (RNA) to help residents maintain their function and joint mobility].
These deficient practices had the potential for Resident 62 to experience a decline in range of motion,
including the development and worsening of contractures (deformity and joint stiffness) in both arms and
both legs, making it difficult to dress Resident 62 in normal clothes. These deficient practices also had the
potential to cause Resident 62 increased pain with movement and contribute to the development of
pressure sores (injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on the skin).
b. For Resident 13, the facility did not provide RNP services with the RNA for ambulation (walking) after
discharge from Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of
optimal physical function) on 6/17/2022 (nine months).
This deficient practice had the potential to cause a decline in Resident 13's ability to walk.
c. For Resident 1, the facility failed to provide ROM exercises to both arms and both legs in accordance
with the facility's policy for RNP since 3/9/2023.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to develop ROM limitations, including the
development of contractures.
Cross reference F656.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 62's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 62 on 3/10/2021.
Resident 62's diagnoses included unspecified atrial fibrillation (irregular and often very rapid heart rate),
major depressive disorder (depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and
loss of interest and can interfere with your daily functioning), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry or fear that are strong enough to

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident 62's Census List (record of hospitalizations, room changes, and payer source
changes) indicated Resident 62 did not leave the facility since admission on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 3/17/2021, indicated Resident 62 had clear speech, sometimes expressed ideas, and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, understand,
learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 62 required limited assistance (resident highly involved
in activity) for eating and required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity while staff provide
weight-bearing support) for dressing and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 62 had
functional ROM limitations in both arms and both legs.
A review of Resident 62's JMA, dated 3/11/2011, indicated Resident 62 had limited ROM in the left
shoulder, left elbow, left wrist, left hand/fingers, both knees, and both ankles. The JMA indicated Resident
62's ROM in the right shoulder was above shoulder height, the right elbow had full ROM (straightened and
bent without limitations), the right wrist had full ROM, the right hand/fingers had full ROM, and both hips
bent to hip height.
A review of Resident 62's Occupational Therapy [OT, profession aimed to increase or maintain a person's
capability of participating in everyday life activities (occupations)] Plan of Care, dated 3/11/2021, indicated
Resident 62 had more ROM limitations in the left arm than the right arm. The OT Plan of Care indicated the
left arm had spasticity (increased muscle stiffness) which positioned the elbow in extension (straight),
fingers in flexion (bent), neutral shoulder (arm positioned parallel to the body), and neutral wrist (straight
with the palm in line with the wrist). The OT Plan of Care included OT treatment five times a week for four
weeks.
A review of Resident 62's Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and
promotion of optimal physical function) Plan of Care, dated 3/11/2021, indicated Resident 62 had ROM
limitations both legs. The PT Plan of Care indicated both of Resident 62's knees bent to five degrees of
motion (normal is 140 degrees of motion) and both hips had 20 degrees of limited flexion (hips bent to hip
height). The PT Plan of Care indicated Resident 62 had 10 out of 10 (severe) pain in both thighs. The PT
Plan of Care included PT treatment five times a week for four weeks.
A review of Resident 62's OT Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 62 met
a short-term goal to tolerate the application of a left-hand splint for three hours. The OT Progress and
Discharge Summary also indicated Resident 62 met a long-term orthotic (splint) goal which indicated the
RNP applied and removed the left-hand splint and monitored Resident 62's skin condition for effective
contracture prevention and joint protection. The OT Discharge Plan indicated Resident 62 was referred to
the RNP for application of the left-hand splint and PROM program.
A review of Resident 62's PT Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 62 met
short-term goals which included sitting upright in a chair/wheelchair with proper positioning for 60 minutes,
reporting decreased pain in both knees and hip joints to moderate pain, and improved PROM of both knees
to 60 degrees of flexion. The PT Progress and Discharge Summary also indicated RNP training included
education to the nurses for proper positioning and techniques to inhibit extensor tone (prevent excessive
straightening) in both of Resident 62's legs. The PT Discharge Plan indicated Resident 62 was referred to
RNP with an exercise program and to use a mechanical lift when transferring Resident 62 into the assigned
wheelchair.

The OT Evaluation indicated Resident 62 already had an inflatable hand roll splint for the left-hand
contractures to prevent further decline and indicated Resident 62 was developing contractures to the right
hand ring finger and little finger. The OT recommendation for Resident 62 included placement of hand roll
splints in both hands to maintain joint mobility. The OT clinical impression indicated Resident 62 presented
with functional decline and indicated nursing referred Resident 62 to hospice care (specialized care
designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness with a focus on comfort,
quality of life rather than cure, and free of pain to live each day as fully as possible). The OT Evaluation did
not recommend further therapy services.
A review of Resident 62's admission Order, dated 1/12/2022, indicated Resident 62 was admitted to
hospice care with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (generalized brain deterioration that leads to
progressive decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life). Resident 62's hospice
admission Order indicated Resident 62 may continue all routine medications and treatments.
A review of Resident 62's electronic record for RNP included the following RNP tasks:

Evaluation recommendation on 1/12/2022.
A review of Resident 62's RNP Documentation Survey Report (electronic record of RNA sessions) for
3/2022 indicated Resident 62 received RNP services three times per week for PROM to both arms, left
hand splint application, and PROM to both legs from 3/2/2022 to 3/30/2022.
A review of Resident 62's RNP Documentation Survey Report for 4/2022 indicated Resident 62 received
RNP services for PROM to both arms, left hand splint application, and PROM to both legs on 4/1/2022 and
4/4/2022.
A review of Resident 62's electronic record for RNP indicated the RNP tasks for PROM to both arms,
application of the left splint/care, and PROM to both legs were resolved (discontinued) on 4/5/2022.
A review of Resident 62's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 62 had clear speech, sometimes
expressed ideas, and wants, sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition.
The MDS indicated Resident 62 was totally dependent (full staff performance every time) for eating,
dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS also indicated Resident 62 had functional ROM limitations in
both arms and both legs.
During an observation and interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:20 PM in Resident 62's room, Resident 62 was
awake, alert, and spoke in short sentences. Resident 62 was lying in bed with the head-of-bed (HOB)
elevated almost upright and wore a hospital gown. Resident 62 reached forward with slight movement at
the right shoulder joint and slight extension of the right elbow. Resident 62's right wrist was completely bent
downward, and Resident 62's thumb and fingers on the right hand were bent around a rolled-up hand
towel. Resident 62 did not have any active movement in the left arm. Resident 62's left shoulder was
positioned in neutral (arm positioned parallel to the body), the left elbow was slightly bent, the left wrist was
bent in a downward position, and the left thumb and fingers were bent around a rolled-up hand towel.
Resident 62 stated Resident 62 did not remember if any facility staff member provided any exercises to
both arms and both legs.
During an observation on 3/15/2023 at 2:27 PM in Resident 62's room, Certified Nursing Assistant 8 (CNA
8) had Resident 62's permission to remove the blanket over both legs. Resident 62 lifted the right leg very
slightly at the hip joint but did not have any other active movement in the right leg and throughout the left
leg. Both of Resident 62's ankles were bent away from the body.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:44 PM, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated the residents on
RNP did not have any physician's orders for RNP services since the facility transitioned to paperless
electronic documentation. The DOR stated RNP services were implemented in a resident's care plan. The
DOR stated the DOR and the MDS Assistant (MDSA) had RNP meetings once per month.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:52 PM, the DOR and MDSA stated a resident's RNP care plan
included an RNP task in the electronic documentation system, which allowed the RNA to document the
RNP session. The DOR and MDSA stated RNP services were important to maintain a resident's ROM and
to maintain a resident's functional status. The DOR stated residents who did not move at all or had
weakness were at risk for developing contractures.

hospital gown. A rolled-up hand towel was resting on top of Resident 62's left hand instead of inside the left
palm. Resident 62 stated the hand towel sometimes came out of the left hand. Resident 62 continued to
have minimal active movement in the right shoulder and right elbow to reach forward. Resident 62 was
unable to move the right wrist, which was positioned in a completely bent position, and the right fingers,
which were positioned into a fist. Resident 62 continued to have no movement in the left arm and both
ankles were bent away from the body. Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) walked into Resident 62's room.
In a concurrent interview, RNA 1 stated Resident 62 did not receive RNA services for ROM but assisted
Resident 62 with feeding.
During a follow-up interview on 3/16/2023 at 9:35 AM, RNA 1 stated Resident 62 did not receive RNA for
ROM since Resident 62 was on hospice.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 10:50 AM, Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2) stated RNA 2 did not
work with Resident 62 since Resident 62 was on hospice.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 11:47 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility's nurses
provided nursing care for hospice residents and the hospice company provided additional services. The
DON stated residents on hospice were treated the same as any other resident in the facility. During a
follow-up interview on 3/16/2021 at 4:15 PM, the DON stated residents on hospice received the same care
provided to all other residents, including medication management, pain management, activities of daily
living (ADLs, tasks related to personal care including bathing, dressing, hygiene, eating, and mobility), and
RNA services for ROM. The DON stated some families did not want the resident on hospice to receive RNA
services. The DON stated the facility coordinated care with the hospice company if the family did not want a
resident to receive RNA services.
During an interview and record review on 3/16/2023 at 3:09 PM, the DOR reviewed Resident 62's PT
Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], which included recommendations for RNP exercises. The
DOR reviewed Resident 62's OT Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], which included
recommendations for a left-hand roll splint and RNP for PROM. The DOR stated Resident 62 received
another OT evaluation on 1/12/2022 which included a recommendation for a right-hand roll splint. In a
concurrent interview and observation, the Assistant Director of Rehabilitation (ADOR) provided a
demonstration of an inflatable hand roll splint. The ADOR stated PROM should be performed prior to
applying the splint. The ADOR brought out a blue colored splint which had an internal plastic air pocket that
could be inflated. The ADOR connected a small manual pump to the plastic air pocket to inflate the splint.
The ADOR stated the inflatable hand roll splint was secured to the hand with a Velcro strap. The ADOR
stated the inflatable hand roll splint prevented further contractures to the hand and provided skin protection
to the palm.
During an interview and record review on 3/16/2023 at 5:09 PM, the DOR reviewed Resident 62's initial
JMA, dated 3/11/2021. The DOR stated Resident 62 had the following ROM in both arms and both legs:
- Right shoulder: WFL
- Right elbow: WFL
- Right wrist: WFL

The DOR stated Resident 62 did not receive another JMA after 1/12/2022 since Resident 62 was on
hospice. The DOR stated the therapists did not perform any screening for ROM once a resident was placed
on hospice services.
During an observation and interview on 3/16/2023 at 5:46 PM in Resident 62's room, the DOR observed
Resident 62's ROM. Resident 62 was lying in bed with the HOB elevated and wore a hospital gown.
Resident 62 was awake, alert, and stated, I want therapy for all my problems because I can't move stuff.
The DOR asked Resident 62 to move both arms. Resident 62 slightly lifted the right arm at the shoulder
joint and slightly extended the right elbow. Resident 62 was unable to move the left arm. The DOR lifted the
blankets to observe both of Resident 62's legs and stated, Oh my God. The DOR stated Resident 62 had
contractures to both ankles into plantarflexion. The DOR walked out of Resident 62's room and stated
Resident 62 declined since the last JMA on 1/12/2022. The DOR stated Resident 62 had increased
contractures in both ankles, both wrists, and both hands/fingers. The DOR stated the DOR could not touch
Resident 62 since Resident 62 was on hospice services. The DOR stated the facility discontinued RNA
services when residents were placed on hospice.
During an interview and record review on 3/17/2023 at 7:37 AM, the DOR compared Resident 62's JMA
from 3/11/2021 and 1/12/2022. The DOR stated Resident 62 was discharged from PT and OT services on
4/2/2021 with recommendations for ROM with RNA and application of a left-hand splint. The DOR stated
Resident 62's ROM in the left shoulder, left elbow, left wrist, and left hand improved on the JMA, dated
1/12/2022, because Resident 62 received RNA services for ROM and application of the left-hand splint.
The DOR stated Resident 62 currently had contractures to both ankles, both wrists, and both hands. The
DOR did not know the reason for Resident 62's decline in ROM and Resident 62's contracture
development.
During an interview on 3/17/2023 at 9:33 AM, the Hospice Certified Nursing Assistant (CHHA 1) stated
Resident 62 received a bed bath, oral care, nail care, body lotion application, and perineal care (genital and
rectal cleaning). CHHA 1 stated providing ROM was not part of the assignment. CHHA 1 stated CHHA 1
moved Resident 62's legs if Resident 62 did not complain of pain. CHHA 1 stated Resident 62 did lift the
legs during care, and CHHA 1 would move Resident 62's legs if Resident 62 wanted to move them for
comfort. CHHA 1 stated CHHA 1 did not move Resident 62's arms since Resident 62 was stiffer in both
hands.
During an interview on 3/17/2023 at 9:40 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant 7 (CNA 7) stated CNA 7 provided
Resident 62 with ADL care, including dressing, bathing, changing the linen, changing positions every two
hours, feeding, and oral care. CNA 7 stated Resident 62's wrists, hands, and ankles were bent and did not
move. CNA 7 stated both of Resident 62's elbows and knees were very stiff. CNA 7 stated CNA 7 moved
Resident 62's arms and legs during care but did not provide ROM. CNA 7 stated the RNAs provided ROM
to the residents. CNA 7 stated Resident 62 wore a hospital gown because Resident 62 did not have any
clothes. CNA 7 stated it would be difficult to dress Resident 62 in regular clothes because Resident 62
cannot bend both arms to get through sleeves which would likely hurt Resident 62 unintentionally.
During a telephone interview on 3/17/2023 at 10:27 AM, Resident 62's Responsible Party (RRP 1) stated
Resident 62 did not walk anymore but moved both arms and both legs upon admission to the

facility. RRP 1 stated the facility did not inform RRP 1 of Resident 62's ROM limitations in both arms and
both legs. RRP 1 stated RRP 1 would never prevent the facility from performing exercises with Resident 62.
RRP 1 stated Resident 62 used to exercise every day.
During an observation and interview on 3/17/2023 at 11:31 AM in Resident 62's room, Resident 62 was
sleeping with the HOB elevated and wearing a hospital gown. Both of Resident 62's wrists and hands were
in a bent position while sleeping. CHHA 1 slightly bent the right elbow but stated CHHA 1 could not
straighten Resident 62's right wrist and right fingers. CHHA 1 slightly lifted Resident 62's left arm at the
shoulder joint and stated CHHA 1 could not bend the elbow because the bone felt very tight. CHHA 1 also
stated CHHA 1 could not straighten Resident 62's left wrist and left fingers because they felt very
contracted. CHHA 1 stated CHHA 1 has worked with Resident 62 for the past year and stated Resident 62
looked more fragile and developed more contractures.
During an interview and record review on 3/17/2023 at 12:48 PM, the DON stated Resident 62 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and remained at the facility since admission. The DON reviewed
Resident 62's OT Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], which indicated a recommendation for
a RNP to apply the left-hand splint and provide PROM to both arms. The DON reviewed Resident 62's PT
Progress and Discharge summary, dated [DATE], which indicated a recommendation to use a mechanical
lift to transfer Resident 62 to a wheelchair and a RNP for ROM. The DON reviewed Resident 62's RNP
documentation. The DON stated Resident 62 received RNA services from 4/6/2021 to 4/4/2022. The DON
stated Resident 62's RNA task for PROM to both legs, PROM to both arms, and application of the inflatable
left hand splint was discontinued on 4/5/2022. The DON reviewed Resident 62's clinical record, including
but not limited to interdisciplinary team meetings and nursing progress notes. The DON stated Resident
62's clinical record did not indicate the reason for discontinuing Resident 62's RNA services. The DON
stated the facility did not have any documented evidence Resident 62 received any PROM to both arms,
PROM both legs, and splint application to either arm from 4/5/2022 to now, which the DON stated was a
total of 11 months.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Joint Mobility Screening and Assessment, revised on
11/2017, indicated a resident who enters the facility without limited range of motion and/or limited range of
motion receives appropriate services, equipment, and assistance to maintain or improve mobility with the
maximum practicable independence unless a reduction in mobility is demonstrably unavoidable. The facility
further indicated a Joint Mobility Assessment form will be completed by the rehabilitation staff upon initial
assessment, annual assessment, and change of condition.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Restorative Nursing Programs, revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated it was the facility's policy to provide maintenance and restorative services designed to maintain or
improve a resident's abilities to the highest practicable level. The policy indicated Residents, as identified
during the comprehensive assessment process, will receive services from restorative aids (RNAs) when
they are assessed to have a need for restorative nursing services, which included providing PROM and
splint or brace assistance.
During an interview and record review on 3/17/2023 at 12:48 PM with the DON and DOR, the DOR stated
Resident 62 did not receive another JMA after 1/12/2022 since Resident 62 was on hospice. Both the DON
and DOR reviewed the facility's policies tilted, Joint Mobility Screening and Assessment and Restorative
Nursing Programs. Both the DON and the DOR stated the facility's policies did not indicate residents placed
on hospice care were excluded from receiving a JMA and RNP/RNA services.

Resident 63 had contractures to both wrists, both hands, and both feet. HRN 1 stated the hospice company
only provided ROM during normal care to keep Resident 62 comfortable. HRN 1 stated the hospice staff did
not provide ROM services. HRN 1 stated the hospice company would not prevent Resident 62 from
receiving ROM exercises from the facility if the facility had a nursing program to perform ROM.
During an interview on 3/17/2023 at 3:34 PM, the DOR stated contracture development should be avoided
to prevent the development of pressure sores. The DOR stated it would be difficult to dress Resident 62 in
regular clothes since the nurse would have to lift Resident 62's arms and bend the elbows.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Prevention of Decline in Range of Motion, revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated the facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach for prevention of decline in range of
motion, including the assessment, appropriate care planning, and preventive care. The policy further
indicated the facility will provide intervention, exercises and/or therapy to maintain or improve range of
motion.
b. A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
5/11/2021 with multiple diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with dependence on supplemental
oxygen and chronic peripheral venous insufficiency (damaged leg veins causing problems moving blood
back to the heart).
A review of Resident 13's care plan related to Resident 13's limited physical mobility, revised on 4/25/2022,
indicated the following:
1. The goal was for Resident 13 to remain free of complications related to immobility, including contractures,
thrombus formation (blood clot formation that limits the natural flow of blood), skin breakdown, and
fall-related injury.
2. Interventions included ambulation (walking) with one staff required to assist Resident 13, provision of
gentle ROM as tolerated with daily care, and assistance with mobility as needed.
A review of Resident 13's Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and
promotion of optimal physical function) Treatment Encounter Note(s), dated 6/17/2022, indicated Physical
Therapist 1 (PT 1) discussed with Resident 13 about Resident 13's discharge from PT. The PT Treatment
Encounter Note indicated Resident 13 agreed to transition to the Restorative Nursing Program (RNP) for
ambulation.
A review of Resident 13's PT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 13 was able to safely
ambulate on level surfaces 60 feet using a two-wheeled walker with minimum assistance from the staff on
6/17/2022. The Discharge Summary indicated Resident 13 had good prognosis to maintain current level of
functioning with consistent staff follow-through.
A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 1/5/2023, indicated the resident had moderate impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding), was able to understand others, and was able to
express ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 13 required limited one-person assistance and/or
guided maneuvering of limbs with walking. The MDS indicated Resident 13's balance during transitions and
walking was not steady and only able to stabilize with staff assistance.

A review of Resident 13's Physician's Progress Notes, dated 1/6/2023, indicated Resident 13 had stasis
dermatitis (skin inflammation due to fluid buildup related to poor blood circulation) in Resident 13's lower
extremities (legs) and was receiving wound care due to a big toe wound.
During an observation and interview on 3/14/2023 at 9:21 AM, Resident 13 stated the desire to participate
in exercises because Resident 13 used to walk with a walker upon admission to the facility. Resident 13
was alert and oriented, with no evidence of pain or any distress while sitting in the wheelchair and received
supplemental oxygen at 2 liters/minute.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 8:42 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6) stated CNA 6 did not
know if Resident 13 could walk, because CNA 6 has not seen Resident 13 walk.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:44 PM, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated the residents on
RNP did not have any physician's orders for RNP services since the facility transitioned to paperless
electronic documentation. The DOR stated RNP services were implemented in a resident's care plan which
created a RNP task. The DOR stated the DOR and the MDS Assistant (MDSA) had RNP meetings once
per month.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 2:52 PM, the DOR and MDSA stated a resident's RNP care plan
included an RNP task in the electronic documentation system, which allowed the RNA to document the
RNP session. The DOR and MDSA stated RNP services were important to maintain a resident's ROM and
to maintain a resident's functional status.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled
residents (Resident 48) with indwelling catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder used to drain urine from
the bladder to the tube and the drainage bag) was assessed and monitored for cloudiness and presence of
white sediments (substances or particles present in the urine) in the urine as indicated on the facility's
policy and procedure titled, Indwelling Catheter Use and Removal, and Resident 48's care plan.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in delay of care and treatment for a possible urinary tract
infection (UTI, condition in which bacteria invade and grow in any part the urinary system which includes
the kidneys, bladder, ureters [tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder], and urethra
[canal from the bladder) and/or dehydration (condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly
water, exceeds the amount that is taken in) for Resident 48.
Findings:
A review of Resident 48's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/24/2021, with
diagnoses of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH - enlarge prostate gland that can cause uncomfortable
urinary symptoms), acute kidney failure (an abrupt decline in renal function) and obstructive and reflux
uropathy (a disorder involving the urinary tract).
A review of Resident 48's care plan dated on 3/28/2022, indicated Resident 48 was at risk for UTI. The care
plan goal indicated Resident 48 will show no signs and symptoms of infection. The interventions included
for the staff to monitor the resident for signs and symptoms (s/sx) of UTI such as confusion, dark
concentrate urine, and foul urine.
A review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 2/27/2023, indicated Resident 48 had severely impaired memory and cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 48 required extensive
assistance with one person physical assist for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and toilet use, and required
total dependence (full staff assistance all the time) for bathing.
A review of Resident 48's care plan revised on 3/14/2023, indicated Resident 48 had an indwelling
suprapubic catheter (a hollow flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder through a cut in the tummy, used
to drain urine from the bladder) related to obstructive uropathy secondary to BPH and was at risk for
recurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). The interventions included for the staff to
record/report to the resident's physician s/sx of UTI: pain, burning, blood-tinged urine, cloudiness, no
output, deepening of urine color, foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, change in behavior,
or change in eating patterns.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2), on 3/14/2023 at 9:34 am,
Resident 48 was lying in bed with a suprapubic catheter draining cloudy urine with white sediments. RN 2
stated there should be no cloudiness and white sediments in the catheter tubing. RN 2 stated, cloudiness
and sediments in the catheter tubing or urine could be signs of infection and needed to be reported to the
resident's physician for a possible laboratory test.

10:14 am, RN 2 stated there was no documentation that Resident 48 was monitored for signs and
symptoms of UTI.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/15/2023 at 12:48 pm, the DON stated, it was
important to monitor Resident 48 for signs and symptoms of UTI for early detection and avoid complications
of infection.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Indwelling Catheter Use and Removal, dated
9/2/2022, indicated if an indwelling catheter is in use, the facility will provide appropriate care for the
catheter in accordance with professional standards of practice and resident care policies and procedures
that include but are not limited to: ongoing monitoring for changes in condition related to potential
catheter-associated urinary tract infections, recognizing, reporting, and addressing such changes. The P&P
indicated additional care practices include: recognition and assessment for complications and their causes,
and maintaining a record of any catheter-related problems.

F 0695
Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled
residents (Resident 29) reviewed for the use of oxygen was administered oxygen in a safe and sanitary
condition in accordance with the standard of care and the facility's policy and procedure. Resident 29's
oxygen tubing was not labeled with the date it was changed.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 29 at risk for respiratory infection by possible contaminants
(something that makes an item no longer suitable for use) in the tubing that was being used for an
extended period of time.
Findings:
A review of Resident 29's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
11/16/2014, and readmitted the resident on 7/28/2020, with diagnoses that included obstructive sleep
apnea (a condition in which individuals experience pauses in breathing during sleep associated with partial
or complete closure of the throat or the upper airway), chronic atrial fibrillation (a condition in which the
upper two chambers of the heart beat quickly and irregularly), and hypertensive heart disease with heart
failure (a long-term condition that develops over many years in people who have high blood pressure).
A review of Resident 29's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 2/21/2023, indicated resident had the capacity to make self understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated Resident 29 required extensive assistance from the staff for bed mobility, transfer, walking in
room and corridor, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene, required limited assistance from the staff for
locomotion on and off the unit, and required supervision for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 29
received oxygen therapy.
A review of Resident 29's care plan dated 7/5/2022, indicated the resident had altered respiratory
status/difficulty breathing related to the resident's obstructive sleep apnea. The interventions included for
the staff to administer oxygen at two liters per minute (2 LPM) via nasal cannula (a flexible tubing with two
prongs on one end placed under the nose to administer oxygen) as ordered.
A review of Resident 29's physician order dated 7/26/2022, indicated for the resident to receive oxygen at 2
LPM via nasal cannula as needed for shortness of breath, and to maintain the resident's oxygen saturation
(SpO2, the measurement of how much of oxygen is being carried by red blood cells) greater or equal to
92%.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Resident 29 on 3/14/23 at 10:49 am, Resident 29 was
in his room sitting on his wheelchair by his bed. Resident 29 was receiving oxygen at 2 LPM via nasal
cannula. The nasal cannula was not labeled with the date it was changed. Resident 29 stated that he did
not use the oxygen all the time and only used the oxygen when he was having breathing problems.
During an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) in Resident 29's room, on 3/14/23 at
10:52 am, the DSD confirmed that the resident's nasal cannula tubing was not labeled with the date it was
changed. The DSD stated that the staff would change the tubing every week and the tubing needed to be
dated so the staff would know when it was time to change the tubing.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the routine pain medication
was administered to one of 20 sampled residents (Resident 13) as ordered by the physician. Resident 13's
Methadone (severe pain reliever) was not administered as ordered for six days in 1/2023 and 2/2023.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause ineffective pain management for Resident 13.
Findings:
A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
5/11/2021, with multiple diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with dependence on supplemental
oxygen and chronic peripheral venous insufficiency (damaged leg veins causing problems moving blood
back to the heart).
A review of Resident 13's care plan for acute/chronic pain, revised on 4/25/2022, indicated the intervention
to administer Methadone 30 milligrams as ordered.
A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 1/5/2023, indicated the resident had moderate impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding), but he was able to understand others and express
ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 13 required limited one-person assistance with bed mobility,
transfer, walking, locomotion on and off unit, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 13's worst pain intensity over the last five days was 6.
A review of Resident 13's Physician's Progress Notes, dated 1/6/2023, indicated Resident 13 had stasis
dermatitis (skin inflammation due to fluid buildup related to poor blood circulation) in his lower extremities
and was receiving wound care due to a big toe wound.
A review of Resident 13's physician's orders from 1/2022 to 2/2023 indicated the order to give 15 milliliters
of Methadone HCl solution 10 milligrams/5 milliliter orally in the morning for pain management, hold if
respiratory rate less than 12, last reordered on 12/9/2022.
A review of Resident 13's Medication Administration Records (MARs) from 1/2023 to 2/2023 indicated the
following:
1. Methadone was coded as 6 on 1/8/2023, 1/9/2023, 1/10/2023, and 1/11/2023.
2. Methadone was not signed as administered by the licensed nurse on 2/27/2023 and coded 6 on
2/28/2023.
During an observation and interview on 3/14/2023 at 9:21 am, Resident 13 stated his medication
(unidentified) was missed about a month ago. Resident 13 was alert and oriented, with no evidence of pain
or any distress while sitting in his wheelchair, and on supplemental oxygen at two liters per minute.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 9:12 am, Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated Resident 13 had
a routine Methadone to be administered daily at 6 am as ordered by the physician. During a

concurrent review of the MAR for 2/2023, LVN 3 stated the medication was not administered on 2/27/2023
and 2/28/2023. LVN 3 stated there was no documented evidence on the progress notes or MAR indicating
the reason for not administering the medication on the two dates. LVN 3 stated if the medication was held
for any reason, it must be coded 2 with a reason documented on the resident's chart. LVN 3 stated
medication administration must be coded accurately and timely to prevent possible missed medication or
medication overdose.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 13's MAR for 1/2022 on 3/16/2023 at 11:31 am,
Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) stated Methadone was not administered on 1/8/2023, 1/9/2023, 1/10/2023, and
1/11/2023. RN 2 stated there were no notes in 1/2023 indicating why Methadone was coded 6. RN 2 stated
on 1/10/2023, the licensed nurse documented she called the pain management physician's office about the
Methadone order and endorsed to the incoming shift. RN 2 stated the licensed nurse must call the
physician or pharmacy about four to five days before the medication ran out to ensure continuity of care. RN
2 stated medication unavailability would lead to delayed treatment and inadequate pain management.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled Pain Management, dated 9/2/2022, indicated pain
management must be provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional
standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and
preferences.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled Medication Reordering, dated 9/2/2022, indicated the
facility must utilize a systematic approach to provide or obtain routine and emergency medications and
biologicals in order to meet the needs of each resident. The policy indicated acquisition of medications must
be completed in a timely manner to ensure medications are administered in a timely manner. The policy
indicated each time a nurse is administering medications, the nurse must observe how many doses are left
and reorder the medications when necessary.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a policy that specified the time frames for
acting upon the facility's consultant pharmacist's recommendation during the monthly regimen review
(MRR, thorough evaluation of the resident's medication regimen to promote positive outcomes and
minimize risks or adverse effects) for two of 20 sampled residents (Resident 9 and 54).
a. For Resident 9, the facility staff did not act upon the MRR recommendation, dated 2/8/2023, to review
with the physician the necessity of the routine and as needed (PRN) Melatonin (supplement to induce
sleep) until 3/16/2023.
b. For Resident 54, the facility staff did not act upon the MRR recommendation, dated 12/17/2022, to
screen the resident for postural hypotension (form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after
sitting or lying down).
These deficient practices had the potential to cause a decline in the residents' physical and psychosocial
well-being related to a delay in the necessary treatment and services.
Cross Reference with F757
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 9's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
12/5/2022, with multiple diagnoses including severe obesity (excessive body fat), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe), obstructive
sleep apnea (sleep-related breathing disorder), hypertensive heart disease (heart problems due to high
blood pressure over a long period of time) with heart failure, major depressive disorder (persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), and post-traumatic stress disorder (developed by individuals who
experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event with symptoms like trouble sleeping and nightmares).
A review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 12/9/2022, indicated the resident did not have an impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 9 had sleeping problems
nearly every day.
A review of Resident 9's History & Physical, dated 2/29/2023, indicated Resident 9 had the capacity to
understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 9's Consultant Pharmacist's MRR, dated 2/8/2023, indicated the following:
Resident has an order for Melatonin 5 milligrams at bedtime for sleep.
Please also review with MD if resident needs both routine and prn melatonin at bedtime.
A review of Resident 9's active physician orders from 3/1/2023 through 3/17/2023 indicated the following

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 9's clinical records on 3/16/2023 at 9:39 am,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated Resident 9 had active orders for routine and PRN Melatonin.
LVN 3 stated the licensed nurse must clarify the order with the physician if it was necessary to administer
two different medications to treat the inability to sleep. LVN 3 stated, if determined both medications were
necessary, Resident 9 must either have the routine or as needed Melatonin order, and not both, to prevent
overmedicating the resident. LVN 3 stated, if Melatonin was ordered to be administered routinely and was
ineffective, the licensed nurse must call the physician to obtain any new orders.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 9's clinical records on 3/16/2023 at 11:03 am,
Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) stated routine and PRN Melatonin must not be ordered at the same time due to
possible overmedication. RN 2 stated the licensed nurse must call the physician to increase the routine
Melatonin dosage if ineffective. RN 2 stated if she was assigned to follow through with the physician
regarding a MRR recommendations, it must be done within 24 hours. RN 2 stated Resident 9's PRN
Melatonin was discontinued on 3/16/2023.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 12:20 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated there was no specific
time frame indicated in the facility's policy to act upon the pharmacy consultant's recommendations during
the monthly MRR. The DON stated it could take between 30 to 45 days, but the registered nurse could
prioritize and address the most important recommendation/s as soon as possible.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures, titled Medication Regimen Review, dated 9/2/2022,
indicated the monthly MRR includes a review of the medical record in order to prevent, identify, report, and
resolve medication-related problems, medication errors, or other irregularities. The policy indicated the
facility staff must act upon all recommendations according to procedures for addressing medication
regimen review irregularities.
b. A review of Resident 54's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 54 on 9/13/2022,
with diagnoses of orthostatic/postural hypotension (form of low blood pressure that happens when standing
after sitting or lying down), history of falling, and unspecified dementia (memory loss which interferes with
daily functioning).
A review of a facility document titled, Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review, dated
12/17/2022, completed by the facility's consultant pharmacist, indicated for the facility to review Resident 54
for falls. The consultant pharmacist recommendations included for the staff to screen Resident 54 for
postural hypotension at lying and standing position.
A review of Resident 54's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 3/6/2023, indicated Resident 54 had moderately impaired memory and cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 54 required limited
assistance with one person physical assist for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, and personal
hygiene.

b. A review of Resident 13's admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on
5/11/2021, with multiple diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with dependence on supplemental
oxygen and chronic peripheral venous insufficiency (damaged leg veins causing problems moving blood
back to the heart).
A review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and care-planning
tool), dated 1/5/2023, indicated the resident had moderate impairment in cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding), but he was able to understand others and express
ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 13 required limited one-person assistance with bed mobility,
transfer, walking, locomotion on and off unit, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 13's worst pain intensity over the last 5 days was 6.
A review of Resident 13's Physician's Progress Notes, dated 1/6/2023, indicated Resident 13 had stasis
dermatitis (skin inflammation due to fluid buildup related to poor blood circulation) in his lower extremities
and was receiving wound care due to a big toe wound.
A review of Resident 13's physician's orders from 11/2022 to 3/2023 indicated the following active orders as
of 3/17/2023:
1. Monitor for pain: 0 = no pain, 1-4 = mild pain, 5-7 = moderate pain, 8-9 = severe pain, 10 = very severe
pain (ordered on 6/16/2021).

level of 1-3. LVN 3 stated Resident 13 was given Percocet as needed for severe pain or pain level of 7-10.
LVN 3 stated if Resident 13 complained of moderate pain or pain level of 4-6, the physician must be notified
to obtain a specific pain medication order for moderate pain to target the effectiveness of the pain
medications without giving too much or too little.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 13's clinical records on 1/2022 on 3/16/2023 at
11:31 am, Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) stated she was not aware of the new pain scale (0 = no pain, 1-4 =

Provide special eating equipment and utensils for residents who need them and appropriate assistance.
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 monitor and provide assistance for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 14) reviewed for nutrition, to ensure the resident was able to use the special
eating equipment and utensils provided to the resident when eating his meals.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed Resident 14 at risk for malnutrition (lack of sufficient nutrients in the body)
and further weight loss.
Findings:
A review of Resident 14's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted the resident on
4/24/2019, and readmitted the resident on 1/4/2023, with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus
(impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel and characterized by having high blood
sugar level) with diabetic polyneuropathy (a complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by progressive
damage of the nerve fibers usually of the arms and legs), muscle wasting and atrophy (thinning or loss of
muscle tissue), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
A review of Resident 14's physician order dated 1/6/2023, indicated for the staff to provide the resident with
built up utensils (eating utensils designed with molded plastic handles to assist individuals with limited or
weakened grasping strength) and plate guard (prevent food from accidentally being pushed off the plate
while eating) daily for all meals to promote self feeding tasks.
A review of Resident 14's physician order dated 1/9/2023, indicated for the resident to have Controlled
Carbohydrate - No Added Salt (CCHO - NAS) diet, mechanically altered texture (food are altered by
whipping, blending, grinding, chopping, or mashing so food are easy to chew and swallow) and nectar
consistency liquid (easily pourable and comparable to apricot nectar or thicker cream soups) for dysphagia.
A review of Resident 14's dietary progress notes dated 1/9/2023, indicated Resident 14 was in the acute
care hospital from [DATE] until 1/4/2023 because of respiratory failure (occurs when not enough oxygen
passes from the lungs to the blood) and urinary tract infection (condition in which bacteria invade and grow
in the urinary tract which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). The dietary progress notes
indicated Resident 14 had a 20 pounds (lbs.) or 10% weight loss in 30 days due to hospitalization. The
dietary progress notes indicated Resident 14 had good oral intake and was fed by staff.
A review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool),
dated 1/11/2023, indicated resident had the ability to make self understood and understand others. The
MDS indicated Resident 14 required extensive assistance from the staff for bed mobility, dressing, eating,
and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 14's care plan dated 1/18/2023, indicated the resident had activities of daily living
(ADLs) self-care performance deficit. The interventions included for one staff to provide extensive
assistance with eating and to continue to assist the resident with ADLs daily.
During a dining observation on 3/14/23 at 12:30 pm, Resident 14 was lying in his bed with the head

of the bed elevated. Resident 14 was eating lunch by himself, and was using an adaptive spoon and fork
and a plate guard to eat. There was no staff in the room to monitor and assist the resident to eat. Resident
14's right hand was shaking and the food on the spoon was falling off before the resident could put the
spoon in his mouth.
During an interview with Resident 14 on 3/14/23 at 12:39 pm, Resident 14 stated that he was done eating.
Resident 14 stated that his food kept falling off the spoon and the resident could not see what he was
eating. Resident 14 stated that he needed help with eating.
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) in Resident 14's room, on 3/14/23 at 12:45
pm, CNA 5 stated he was assigned to Resident 14. CNA 5 stated Resident 14 did not need assistance with
eating and the resident could eat by himself. CNA 5 checked the resident's food tray and stated that
Resident 14 ate 20% of his food, almost nothing.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Use of Assistive Devices, revised on 9/2/2022,
indicated facility staff will provide appropriate assistance to ensure that the resident can use the assistive
devices. This may include education or therapy sessions for training on the use of the device, set up
assistance, supervision, or physical assistance as needed.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate hospice services (specialized
care designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness with a focus on
comfort, quality of life rather than cure, and free of pain to live each day as fully as possible) to three of five
residents (Resident 62, 66, and 1) receiving hospice care. The facility failed to:
1. Officially designate the facility's staff member responsible for coordinating hospice services in the
facility's policy.
2. Ensure the facility's coordinator for hospice care coordinated and communicated with the hospice
company to ensure the provision of hospice services.
3. Ensure the facility's licensed staff were aware of the facility's designated coordinator for hospice care.
4. Ensure the Hospice Certified Nursing Assistant (CHHA - nursing aide who are trained specifically for
hospice care) provided timely care on designated dates and communicated the hospice visits with detailed
notes in the residents' clinical record binder specifically for hospice care (hospice binder).
These failures prevented Resident 66, 62, and 1 from receiving well-coordinated and comprehensive
hospice services.
Findings:
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Hospice Services Facility Agreement, revised on
9/2/2022, indicated it was the policy of this facility to provide and/or arrange for hospice services in order to
protect a resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, and communication with, and access
to, persons and services inside and outside the facility. The policy indicated the facility had designated (the
Assistant Director of Nursing, or specify the member from the interdisciplinary team) to be responsible for
working with hospice representatives to coordinate care to the resident provided by facility and hospice
staff.
During an interview on 3/15/2023 at 9:30 am, Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2) stated the facility did not have a
designated contact person for hospice residents. RN 2 stated if the hospice staff had any concerns,
additional physician's orders, or questions, then the hospice staff would contact the charge nurse or RN
supervisor assigned to the specific hospice resident.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 11:03 am, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) stated LVN 2 did not
know who the hospice coordinator was for the facility. LVN 2 stated the hospice personnel alerted the
charge nurse if they were in the facility for a resident. LVN 2 stated the facility's hospice coordinator was
supposed to be ensuring the residents on hospice were receiving services according to the hospice
contract, but LVN 2 did not know who the facility's hospice coordinator was.
During an interview on 3/16/2023 at 11:35 am, LVN 1 stated any nursing supervisor could be the hospice
coordinator.

During an interview and record review on 3/16/2023 at 11:47 am, the Director of Nursing (DON) and the
Director of Social Services (DSS) stated the hospice coordinator was the DON. The DON reviewed the
facility's policy for hospice services and stated the facility did not designate a staff member in charge of
coordinating hospice services in the facility's hospice policy.
During a follow-up interview on 3/17/2023 at 11:49 am, the DON stated the DON was the official
coordinator for hospice but delegated all the tasks related to hospice to the DSS since the DSS initiated
hospice services.
a. A review of Resident 66's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 66 on
4/2/2021. Resident 66's diagnoses included alcoholic cirrhosis of liver (final phase of liver disease) with
ascites (abdominal swelling caused by accumulation of fluid related to liver disease), acute respiratory
failure (serious condition that develops when the lungs cannot get oxygen into the blood), and acute
ischemic heart disease (hardening of blood vessels preventing blood flow and oxygen to the heart).
A review of Resident 66's census list (record of hospitalizations, room changes, and payer source changes)
indicated Resident 66 was readmitted to the facility from the hospital on 2/2/2023.
A review of Resident 66's admission Order, dated 2/2/2023, indicated Resident 62 was admitted to hospice
care.
A review of Resident 66's Physician's Certification for Hospice Benefit, dated 2/2/2023 to 4/2/2023,
indicated Resident 66's primary hospice diagnosis included alcoholic cirrhosis of liver with ascites.
A review of Resident 66's clinical record in Resident 66's hospice binder included a calendar, which
indicated the dates hospice staff would provide services to Resident 66. A review of Resident 66's hospice
calendar for 2/22/2023 to 2/28/2023 and 3/2023 did not clearly indicate the dates Resident 66 would
receive CHHA services. Resident 66's hospice binder also included a Hospice Staff Sign-In Sheet.
Resident 66's Hospice Staff Sign-In Sheet did not include a CHHA. Further review of Resident 66's hospice
binder did not include CHHA communication sheets (note indicating the CHHA provision of care) from
2/2023 to 3/2023. The latest CHHA communication entry was dated on 12/22/2022.
A review of Resident 66's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 3/1/2023, indicated Resident 66 had clear speech, clear expression of ideas and wants, clear
understanding of verbal content, and had moderately impaired cognition (ability to think, understand, learn,
and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 66 required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity
with staff providing support) for bed mobility, transfers between surfaces, dressing, toileting, and hygiene.
During an interview and record review on 3/16/2023 at 11:47 am, the DON stated Resident 66 had
intermittently revoked hospice services to allow Resident 66 to be hospitalized for treatment. The DON
stated Resident 66 was re-admitted to hospice care on 2/2/2023. The DON reviewed the Hospice Staff
Sign-In Sheet, calendar, and CHHA notes. The DON stated the last CHHA note was dated in 12/2022. The
DON stated there was no documented evidence the hospice CHHA provided care to Resident 66 in 2/2023
and 3/2023.

heart rate), major depressive disorder (depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with your daily functioning), anxiety disorder (mental health
disorder characterized by feelings of worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily
activities), and hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure).
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 62's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 12/15/2022, indicated Resident 62 had clear speech, sometimes expressed ideas and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, understand,
learn, and remember). The MDS indicated Resident 62 was totally dependent (full staff performance every
time) for eating, dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 62 had functional ROM
limitations in both arms and both legs.
A review of Resident 62's admission Order, dated 1/12/2022, indicated Resident 62 was admitted to
hospice care with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (generalized brain deterioration that leads to
progressive decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life).
A review of Resident 62's clinical record in Resident 62's hospice binder included a calendar, which
indicated the dates hospice staff would provide services to the Resident 62. Resident 62's hospice calendar
indicated the CHHA was scheduled to provide care to Resident 62 on 2/7/2023, 2/9/2023, 2/14/2023,
2/16/2023, 2/21/2023, 2/23/2023, 2/28/2023, 3/7/2023, 3/9/2023, 3/14/2023, and 3/16/2023. Further review
of Resident 62's hospice binder indicated the CHHA communication sheet (note indicating the CHHA
provision of care) did not have any entries for 2/7/2023, 2/9/2023, 2/14/2023, and 3/7/2023.
During an interview and record review on 3/16/2023 at 11:47 am, the DON reviewed Resident 62's hospice
binder. The DON confirmed the hospice binder did not include a communication sheet for the provision of
CHHA care to Resident 62 on 2/7/2023, 2/9/2023, 2/14/2023, and 3/17/2023. The DON stated the facility
did not have documented evidence Resident 62 received CHHA care on 2/7/2023, 2/9/2023, 2/14/2023,
and 3/17/2023.
c. A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on
8/1/2008, and readmitted the resident on 2/15/2023. Resident 1's diagnoses included but was not limited to
kidney failure, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), attention to gastrostomy (G-tube, tube placed directly into
the stomach for long-term feeding), history of transient ischemic attack (brief stop of blood supply to the
brain) and cerebral infarction (brain damage due to a loss of oxygen to the area) without residual deficits.
A review of Resident 1's Physician's Certification for Hospice Benefit, dated 2/15/2023 to 5/15/2023,
indicated Resident 1's primary hospice diagnosis was diffuse (spread out) traumatic brain injury (injury that
affects how the brain works) with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration.
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment used as a care planning
tool), dated 2/21/2023, indicated Resident 1 had unclear speech, sometimes expressed ideas and wants,
sometimes understood verbal content, and had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, understand,

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain the physical space and equipment in
the Rehabilitation Gym, including one box containing five lidocaine (medication for local pain relief) patches,
two of two boxes of menthol (medication for minor muscle and joint aches and pain) patches, three of three
packages with electrode (conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object) preparation pads
for skin preparation, and one container of ultrasound gel.
This failure had the potential to prevent the provision of a functional and sanitary environment.
Findings:
During an observation on [DATE] at 9:05 am in the rehabilitation gym, a box with five unopened lidocaine
pain relief patches expired on 11/2022. Two packages of unopened menthol medication patches expired on
8/2022. Three packages of electrode preparation pads for skin preparation expired on 6/2021. A container
of ultrasound gel expired on [DATE].
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 9:21 am in the rehabilitation gym, the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR) stated the rehabilitation department received a new ultrasound (use of sound waves
to penetrate soft tissues which increases blood flow) and electrical stimulation (mild electrical pulses
through the skin to help stimulate injured muscles or manipulate nerves to reduce pain) machine which was
being calibrated (setting a measuring device to confirm with a reference standard). The DOR stated
ultrasound gel was used as a conductor for ultrasound but would not be effective since the ultrasound gel
expired on 3/2021. The DOR stated the electrode preparation pads were used to clean and prevent the skin
from damage prior to applying electrodes on the skin. The DOR stated the electrode preparation pads were
likely dry and unusable since they expired on 6/2021. The DOR observed the lidocaine and menthol
patches and stated being unaware the patches were stored in the rehabilitation department.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Rehab Equipment Maintenance & Safety, revised on
[DATE], indicated preventative maintenance shall be performed on all rehab equipment to prolong the
rehab equipment life and to ensure efficient operation and reliability of the equipment.
