Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care according to facility
policy and procedures (P&P) when the nursing staff did not check the tube placement and/or residual
volume before medication administration for three of three residents (Residents 10, 37, and 61) who were
receiving medications via the gastrostomy tube (aka G-tube, a tube inserted through the abdomen that
delivers nutrition and medications directly to the stomach). The failure had the potential for complications
related to enteral feeding such as aspiration (foreign material into the lungs) due to undetected tube
displacement, nausea, vomiting, etc.
Findings:
a. During a medication administration observation on 1/27/25 at 10:02 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) B was observed preparing a medication, doxazosin (medication to treat high blood pressure), for
Resident 37. She crushed and diluted the medication with water.
On 1/27/25 at 10:08 a.m., at the resident's bedside, LVN B was observed attaching the 60-milliliter (mL, unit
of measurement) syringe to the resident's G-tube and pulling back on the plunger to see the residual
volume, then she flushed the tube with about 30 mLs of water. After several minutes of manipulation to get
the water to go down into the tube, LVN B poured the diluted medication into the tube. LVN B did not check
the tube placement (to confirm the placement of the tube) before the medication administration.
b. During a medication administration observation on 1/27/25 at 10:38 a.m., LVN B was observed preparing
5 medications for Resident 61.
On 1/27/25 at 10:47 a.m., at Resident 61's bedside, LVN B was observed checking the residual volume but
did not check the tube placement before the medication administration.
During an interview on 1/27/25 at 10:55 a.m., when asked about the tube placement check before
medication administration, LVN B stated, I just check residuals before medication administration. She stated
she would not typically check the tube placement before medication administration.
c. During a medication administration observation on 1/28/25 at 8:28 a.m. with RN C, she was observed
preparing 2 medications for Resident 10.
On 1/28/25 at at 8:36 a.m., at the resident's bedside, RN C turned off the resident's feeding pump, attached
the syringe to the resident's tube, added about 50 mLs of water into the syringe, then poured each diluted
medication into the tube with flushing of water in between the medications. RN C

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure discontinued and unused
controlled medications (medications that can be easily abused and are under strict government control) for
three residents (65, 123, and 174) were promptly removed from one of three inspected medication carts.
The failure had the potential for medication errors or loss/abuse of controlled medications.
Findings:
1. During an inspection of the Station 1 medication cart with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN D) on 1/27/25
at 11:06 a.m., two opened bottles, one 180-milliliters (mL) and one 120-mL, of morphine (a potent narcotic
medication for pain) 2 milligrams (mg) per mL for Resident 174 were identified in the locked compartment of
the cart. The Controlled Drug Record (CDR or Count Sheet, an inventory sheet documenting the
medication, count, date, time, amount given, the amount left, and the signature of the user) for each bottle
was wrapped around the bottle with a rubber band. LVN D stated each bottle has zero count left, meaning
the count on the CDR had zero (0) amount remaining but in reality there was some left-over amount in the
bottle (an over-fill from the manufacturer). She stated the nursing staff did not count them during shift
changes because the count on the CDRs was zero. She stated the bottles were supposed to be given to
the DON for destruction.
A review of two CDRs indicated one was zero'ed out on 1/14/24 (13 days before the survey); and the other
reached zero count on 1/20/25 (7 days before the survey).
On 1/28/25 at 1:12 p.m., at Station 1 medication cart with Registered Nurse C (RN C), the same two
morphine bottles were observed inside the locked compartment of the cart. Further inspection of the bottles
with RN C revealed the 180-mL bottle had about 12 mLs remaining; and the 120-mL bottle had about 10
mLs left. RN C verified this finding and stated they are there for the DON to pick up.
2. During the inspection of Station 1 medication cart on 1/28/25 at 1:12 p.m. with RN C also identified two
blister cards (card that packages doses of medication within small, clear, or light-resistant amber-colored
plastic bubbles or blisters) containing lacosamide (a controlled medication to treat seizures) 100 mg tablets.
One had 30 tablets, and the other had 24 tablets. Their CDRs were wrapped around the cards. RN C stated
they belonged to Resident 123 who left the facility.
A review of Resident 123's clinical record indicated the resident requested to leave AMA [against medical
advice] on 1/13/25 (or 15 days prior to the survey).
3. Inspection of the Station 1 medication cart with RN C on 1/28/25 at 1:18 p.m. also identified a bottle
containing 8 tablets of lorazepam (a controlled medication to treat anxiety) 0.5 mg for Resident 65. RN C
stated the lorazepam was discontinued.
A review of Resident 65's clinical record indicated the lorazepam was discontinued on 1/14/25 (14 days
before the survey).
During an interview with the Director of Nursing on 01/28/25 at 1:57 p.m., she stated the nursing staff
should remove the excess morphine liquid for Resident 174 as soon as possible. Regarding those
discontinued medications for residents 65 and 123, she stated they should be given to her

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 20 sampled residents (Resident
47) was free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affects brain activities associated with
mental processes and behavior). Resident 47 received quetiapine (Seroquel, an antipsychotic medication)
for delusion (fixed, false beliefs that conflict with reality) without documented evidence of delusional
symptoms, and without demonstration how these symptoms caused harm to the resident/others or caused
significant distress to the resident.
The failure had the potential for the resident to receive the antipsychotic medication unnecessarily, which
had the potential for increased risks associated with psychotropic medication use that include but not
limited to sedation, respiratory depression, falls, constipation, anxiety, agitation, abnormal involuntary
movements, and memory loss.
Findings:
A review of Resident 47's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including
unspecified dementia (general term that describes a group of symptoms, such as loss of memory,
judgment, language, complex motor skills and other intellectual functions due to permanent damage or
death of the brain's nerve cells) and unspecified schizophrenia (a chronic, severe mental disorder that
affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others).
A review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a care area assessment and screening tool), dated
12/9/24, indicated he had a BIMS score of 4 (Brief Interview for Mental Status, a test given by medical
professionals that helps determine a patient's cognitive understanding that can be scored from 1 to 15),
which indicated his cognitive condition was severely impaired.
A review of Resident 47's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 10/21/24, for Seroquel 25 mg
by mouth at bedtime related to OTHER SCHIZOPHRENIA .m/b [manifested by] Delusion.
A review of Resident 47's January 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR, where nursing staff
documented the medication administration and behavioral symptom monitoring) indicated the staff had
been monitoring for delusion associated with Seroquel use since 10/20/24. The MAR showed the resident
had zero (0) episodes of delusion.
A review of Resident 47's Care Plan, revised 11/15/24, indicated the resident was receiving Seroquel for
other schizophrenia m/b Delusion.
There was no documented evidence in the clinical record what specific behavioral symptoms related to
delusion (such as thinking or believing something that is not there) the resident exhibited, or how these
symptoms caused harm to the resident/others or caused significant distress to the resident.
During an interview with Resident 47 on 1/29/25 at 11:21 a.m., he stated there was a person who has been
bothering him and making him upset. He stated he has told about a dozen staff about this already but
nothing has been done. He got up from the bed and started walking out of his room to look for that person.
About 2 minutes later, he pointed at a resident (Resident 21) and stated she has been

In an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) F, on 1/29/25 at 11:35 a.m., she stated Resident 47
had no behaviors except he gets irritable with noise and whenever Resident 21 comes into his room. She
explained Resident 21 has dementia and does not know her surrounding; she often comes into Resident
47's room, thinking he is her son. LVN F stated she has been working in the facility for many months and
has not known Resident 47 having any kind of delusion.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview with LVN D on 1/29/25 at 11:44 a.m., she stated Resident 47 is real calm, uses call
light if he needs to. She explained that he gets angry when Resident 21 comes into his room, which she
often does due to her thinking he is her son. When asked about the resident's delusion, LVN D stated, He
doesn't have any delusion that I am aware of. He never had a day where he's delusional.
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) G on 1/29/25 at 11:52 a.m., she stated Resident
47 gets angry sometimes and he doesn't like it when [Resident 21] comes into the room. When asked if she
has witnessed the resident having delusions, she stated, I don't know. Never seen him with delusions.
In an interview with CNA H on 1/29/25 at 12:48 p.m., she stated, Sometimes he gets angry because
[Resident 21] comes into room, sometime he wants medications. When asked if she has witnessed the
resident having delusions, CNA H shook her head and said, No.
During a concurrent interview and review of Resident 47's clinical record with the Director of Nursing (DON)
on 1/29/25 at 12:55 p.m., the DON stated Resident 47 received Seroquel for delusion and sometimes he's
paranoid. She was asked to provide any documentation showing Resident 47 had delusional symptoms
and how they caused harm to him/others or caused significant distress to the resident. After the review, she
stated, There's just delusion in the documentation. A review of the Psychiatric Visit Progress Reports, dated
8/12/24, 8/23/24, 10/10/24, and 12/19/24, with the DON indicated, under the Behavioral Observations, the
writer of the reports wrote a No for Delusions in all four reports.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled Antipsychotic Medication Use, revised 12/2016,
indicated, Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions
for which they are indicated and effective . The Attending Physician and other staff will gather and
document information to clarify a resident's . behavior . specific symptoms, and risks to the resident and
others . Diagnoses alone do not warrant the use of antipsychotic medication. In addition to the above
criteria, the antipsychotic medications will generally be considered if the following conditions are also met .
The behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others .

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility had a medication error rate of 13.79% when four
medication errors occurred out of 29 opportunities during the medication administration observation for four
out of nine residents (Residents 3, 8, 10, and 37). Resident 37 did not receive one medication as
scheduled; Resident 8 received insulin with incorrect priming; and Residents 3 and 10 did not receive one
medication as prescribed.
Residents Affected - Some
The failures resulted in the residents not receiving the medications as prescribed and had the potential for
complications of their medical conditions (such as high/low blood sugar or blood pressure).
Findings:
1. During the medication administration observation on 1/27/25 at 10:02 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse B
(LVN B) was observed preparing one medication, doxazosin (a medication to treat high blood pressure) for
Resident 37. LVN B stated, I don't have chlorhexidine [an antiseptic mouthwash with broad-spectrum
antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi], will have to order from pharmacy.
On 1/27/25 at 10:08 a.m., LVN B was observed going into Resident 37's room and informing the resident
she did not have his mouthwash.
During an interview on 1/27/25 at 10:59 a.m., LVN B confirmed the chlorhexidine was due this morning, but
it was not available for administration.
A review of Resident 37's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 7/29/2024, for chlorhexidine
gluconate mouth/throat solution 0.12%, give 15 ml orally three times a day for oral care. The facility
scheduled it to be administered at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 9 p.m.
On 1/27/25 at 1:49 p.m., a review of Resident 37's January 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR)
indicated a 9 (meaning, Other/See Progress Notes) in the 1/27/25 9 a.m. entry for chlorhexidine
administration. A review of the corresponding progress notes, charted by LVN B on 1/27/25 at 10:04 a.m.,
indicated: pending supply.
A review of the facility's 4/2019 policy and procedures (P&P) titled Pharmacy Services Overview indicated,
Residents have sufficient supply of their prescribed medications and receive medications (routine,
emergency or as needed) in a timely manner.
2. During a medication administration observation on 1/27/25 at 12:08 p.m., with LVN D, she was observed
preparing an insulin (medication to treat high blood sugar) injection for Resident 8. She stated the resident's
blood sugar was 255. At the medication cart, LVN D removed Resident 37's Humalog Kwikpen (a pre-filled
insulin pen containing a short acting insulin called insulin lispro) from the medication cart, cleaned the
rubber seal (area connecting the insulin chamber to the needle), attached a needle on it, inverted the pen,
and squeezed out some of the insulin drops. Then she removed the needle, cleaned the the rubber seal
again, attached a second needle on the rubber seal, and then turned the dose dial to 8 units.

On 1/27/25 at 12:13 p.m. LVN D was observed injecting the Humalog into Resident 8's left lower abdomen.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 1/27/25 at 12:15 p.m., LVN D stated she primed the insulin pen by placing a new
needle, turning the dial to 1 unit, and pressing the pen to make sure it worked. Then she would take off the
needle, put a new needle on, and turn the dial to the prescribed dose. She stated that is the way she has
always done it, by making sure the pen works.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of Resident 8's clinical record indicated a physician order, dated 12/11/2024, for insulin lispro
solution, to inject per sliding scale (a set of instructions for administering insulin dosages based on specific
blood glucose readings), to give 8 units for blood sugar between 251 - 300.
During a follow-up interview with LVN D regarding insulin pen priming on 1/27/2025 at 2:21 p.m., she stated
she learned only use one needle and to prime it (the needle) with 1 unit first to make sure the pen works
before turning to the ordered dose. She verified she did not prime the insulin pen correctly before injecting it
to Resident 8.
During an interview on 01/28/25 at 11:35 a.m. conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding the
priming of insulin pens, she stated to prime the needle before each medication administration.
A review of the drug manufacturer's INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE HUMALOG ([NAME]-ma-log) KwikPen,
dated 7/2023, indicated the following instructions for priming the pen:
Prime before each injection, priming your Pen means removing the air from the Needle and Cartridge that
may collect during normal use and ensures that the Pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before
each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin.
To prime your Pen, turn the Dose Knob to select 2 units .
Hold your Pen with the Needle pointing up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top .
Continue holding your Pen with Needle pointing up. Push the Dose Knob in until it stops, and '0' is seen in
the Dose Window .
Turn the Dose Knob to select the number of units you need to inject .
A review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications, dated 4/2019, indicated, insulin pen needles
must be changed and primed between administration doses.
3. During the medication administration observation on 1/27/25 at 4:28 p.m., LVN E was observed
administering two medications with water to Resident 3, one included metformin (used to treat diabetes)
1,000 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) tablet.
On 1/27/25 at 4:32 p.m., in a concurrent interview with LVN E, and review of Resident 3's metformin
medication, LVN E confirmed the prescription label indicated to give with meals. LVN E stated, We give the
medication between 4 to 6 p.m., usually give it with snacks. She said the administration time varies each
day.

A review of Resident 3's clinical record indicated a physician order, dated 8/3/2024, for metformin 1,000
mg, give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for diabetes administer with meal.
On 1/27/25 at 5:01 p.m., a cart of meal trays was observed about 20 feet from Resident 3's room. The staff
stated the cart was for downstairs residents as downstairs always get their meal trays first. This indicated,
by 5:01 p.m. on that day (or 33 minutes after metformin administration), Resident 3 did not get his dinner
yet.
An interview and record review regarding the administration of Resident 3's metformin was conducted with
the DON on 1/28/25 at 11:35 a.m. She explained medication ordered with meals means it should be given
with a meal. She stated metformin is an irritant and can cause nausea so it should be given with a meal.
A review of the Package Insert (provides detailed information of the drugs uses, contraindications, dosage
ranges, side effects and how to administer the drug) for metformin indicated: Metformin should be given in
divided doses with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
A review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications, revised April 2019, indicated, Medications
are administered within 1 hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example before and
after meal orders).
4. On 1/28/2025 at 8:28 a.m., while preparing medications for Resident 10, registered nurse (RN) C stated
she will hold the resident's amlodipine and lisinopril (medications used to treat high blood pressure or
hypertension). She stated resident's blood pressure was 108/80 (the upper number is the systolic blood
pressure, also known as SBP; the lower number is the diastolic blood pressure, also known as DBP).
A review of Resident 10's clinical record indicated a physician's order, dated 11/6/2024, for amlodipine 10
mg, 1 tablet one time a day related to ESSENTIAL (PRIMARY) HYPERTENSION HOLD FOR SBP <100.
It was scheduled to be administered daily at 9 a.m.
A review of the resident's January 2025 MAR indicated a 4 (4= vitals outside of parameters for
administration) in the 1/28/2025 9 a.m. entry for amlodipine administration.
On 1/28/25 at 11:25 a.m., during a follow up interview and concurrent record review with RN C, she
confirmed holding both amlodipine and lisinopril for Resident 10. RN C confirmed the physician's order
indicated to hold the amlodipine for SBP <100 while the resident's SBP was 108. She stated, .in general
the hold for blood pressure is 110.
An interview was conducted 1/28/2025 at 2:09 p.m. with the DON regarding the amlodipine hold
parameters for Resident 10. The DON confirmed the hold parameter for amlodipine is to hold if blood
pressure is less than 100.
A review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications, revised April 2019, indicated, Medications
are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame, vitals parameters

food particles. Tiles around the floor drain were loose and not attached. There were additional tiles around
the floor that were broken off, had missing grout, and were collecting pools of water. There was separation
from the wall and the floor tile with no grout, with a length of approximately 2 feet. The gap with no grouting
had dark residue particles resembling food crumbs, and small pieces of debris collected in the area. There
were loose wall tiles along the right and behind the area of the manual dish washing sink, which created a
gap between the wall and the tiles.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 01/27/25, at 9:30 a.m., with Certified Dietary Manager
(CDM 1), there was exposed wood on the wall as the protective plastic molding against the lower part of
the wall was missing. This area had a collection of dirt and debris with openings on the wall. CDM 1 stated
a request had been put in to the Maintenance Director (MD) around one month ago to have this repaired,
along with the other areas of missing grout and exposed walls. CDM 1 stated loose tiles and pooled water
on the floor could harbor bacteria and was a safety hazard.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/25, at 9:30 a.m., with MD, MD stated there was a
maintenance log where staff put in maintenance requests. A review of the log indicated there was no
request to repair the kitchen tile, flooring, and walls.
During an interview on 1/30/25, at 10:04 a.m., with MD, MD stated there was no record of when a deep
cleaning was last done in the kitchen.
During an interview on 1/30/25, at 11:01 a.m., with the Janitor, CDM 1 and MD, Janitor stated it was difficult
to do a deep cleaning when the surfaces were not maintained. The Janitor stated the area with missing
grout and tile could collect food and dirt and develop mold if the sealant was not maintained.
During an observation on 1/27/25, at 9:45 a.m., in the kitchen, Refrigerator #1 contained a bag of turkey
slices covered in plastic with expiration date 1/25/25 and a jar of jelly with expiration date of 1/26/25.
During an observation on 1/27/2025, at 10:15 a.m., in the kitchen, Freezer 1 had five bags of five pounds of
ground beef and seven bags of 12 chicken breasts per bag, with no date when the ground beef and chicken
breasts were received, no use by dates, and no expiration dates.

During an observation on 1/29/25, at 10:15 a.m., in the storage room, onions received on 1/28/25 were in a
box labeled 1/21/25.
During an interview on 1/29/25, at 10:31 a.m., with the Dietary Manager (DM 1) and Cook, [NAME] stated
that onions were received on 1/28/25 and were put in the box with the older onions. The box had a date of
1/21/2025. DM 1 stated the onions should have been placed in a box with the date they were received, and
the onions from the previous shipment should have been placed in a box on top of the box of new onions.
The [NAME] stated the new onions should have been put in a separate container with the date of delivery
posted on the container.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2025, at 10:30 a.m., in the storage pantry, with CDM

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to observe proper infection control
practices when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. A nursing staff failed to perform hand hygiene after touching potentially contaminated surfaces during the
medication administration;
2. A nursing staff touched and opened two medication capsules with bare hands;
3. A nursing staff failed to observe the enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) as per facility policy and
procedures (P&P) for two residents (Residents 37 and 61) during the medication administration;
These failures had the potential for Residents 37, 54 and 61 to be placed at risk for infections.
Findings:
1. During a medication administration observation with Registered Nurse (RN) A on 1/27/25, at 9:29 a.m.,
RN A was observed preparing two medications, which was put in a small medication cup, for Resident 54.
On 1/27/25, at 9:40 a.m., RN A placed the medication cup along with a cup of juice in a medication tray,
brought it to Resident 54's bedside, and placed it on the resident's table. Then, with her gloved hands, she
moved the resident's wheel chair out of the way. Next, she looked to the bed's remote control cable that was
found disconnected and lying on the floor. She connected it to the resident's bed and pressed on the
remote to raise the head of the bed while the resident was lying in it. Then, without changing gloves and
performing hand hygiene, she picked up the medication cup and handed to the resident to take. She did the
same with the juice cup.
During an interview on 1/27/25, at 9:48 a.m., RN A confirmed she touched the resident's wheel chair, the
bed remote control cable, and the remote control itself with gloved hands, and stated she should have
changed her gloves and performed hand hygiene before proceeding with the medication administration.
She acknowledged those were potentially contaminated surfaces and had potential for the spreading of
infections.
2. During a medication administration observation on 1/27/25, at 10:35 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) B was observed preparing five medications for Resident 61, who received medications via the
gastrostomy tube (also called a G-tube; a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition and
medications directly to the stomach). The medications included two capsules of gabapentin (medication to
treat nerve pain) 100 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement). Without donning gloves, LVN B was observed
picking up each capsule with her bare hands and opening them to pour the powder contents into a
medication cup.
During an interview on 1/27/25, at 10:55 a.m., when asked about opening the gabapentin capsules with
bare hands, LVN B stated, I should have worn gloves.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/28/25, at 11:35 a.m., she stated nurses should
avoid touching medications with their hands; and they are supposed to wear gloves when opening
capsules.
