significant cognitive impairment. Section G showed the resident required extensive assistance for eating,
with one-person physical assistance. Section K showed Resident #2 required a mechanically altered diet.
Review of a care plan for Resident #3 revised 04/15/23, showed the resident had a self-care deficit due to
contractures on BLE (bilateral lower extremities), (ROM) Range of Motion that impact ADL activities.
Resident #3 will feed self at times and may assist with simple tasks. Resident #3 is never understood and
does not understand others. The goals showed the resident will allow staff to assist with ADLs as deemed
necessary and will maintain current level of ADL functioning through the next review date. Interventions
included to encourage/cue resident to participate in ADL task, to observe for decline in ADL function and
report to the physician as indicated, and to provide hands on assistance as needed.
On 11/02/23 at 12:10 p.m., an observation was made of Resident #2 and #3 sitting at dining room tables
with other residents. Some residents in the dining room were observed to have finished eating their meals
during approximately the 20-30-minute period. These two residents were waiting to be assisted with their
meal.
On 11/02/23 at 12:10 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who
was assisting another Resident sharing a table with Resident #3. Staff A stated there were two CNAs
assigned dining duty. She stated she would assist Resident #3 once she was done with the resident she
was feeding. Staff A confirmed Resident #3 was dependent on staff for eating. Staff A stated, I know, they
should not wait. The nurses are supposed to help. Staff A stated it was not okay with her that Resident #2
and #3 were waiting to be assisted with their meals while all the other residents were eating.
On 11/02/23 at 12:13 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN). Staff B walked
into the dining room and sat next to Resident #2. She stated she was about to assist the resident with his
meal. Staff B said, I understand how having the residents wait for their meal while everyone is eating is
uncomfortable. She stated she did not think it was fair to the residents who were dependent on staff. She
stated she did not know the residents had been waiting.
On 11/02/23 at 2:51 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). She stated she
would expect all residents to be served at the same time and if they need assistance, it should be provided
at the same time. The DON stated she would expect the CNA to ask for assistance if they needed
additional help. The DON said, It is not dignified to smell the food while others are eating, and one is not. I
would not want that.
A follow-up interview was conducted on 11/02/23 at 5:10 p.m., with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA).
The NHA stated he would expect residents who are sitting together to be served and assisted together. He
said, right is right and wrong is wrong. That was wrong. The residents should not have been waiting when
the others were eating. We will fix that.
Review of a facility policy titled, Promoting/Maintaining Resident Dignity, dated 09/07/22, showed it is the

record review and interview the facility failed to request a Level II Pre-admission Screening and Resident
Review (PASARR) for one resident (#16) with a newly diagnosed mental illness out of 14 sampled
residents.
Findings included:
A review of Resident #16's admission Record showed Resident #16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses to include cerebral palsy and paraplegia. Resident #16 was diagnosed with schizophrenia,
unspecified on 01/16/23.
A review of a psychiatric note dated 01/16/23 showed, Reason for today's evaluation: Consult for

leave during the time the Level II was required to be submitted however she would have expected the staff
member covering during her leave of absence would have submitted the new diagnosis for a Level II.

implemented 09/07/2022, showed, Any resident who exhibits a newly evident or possible serious mental
illness, intellectual disorder, or a related condition with be referred promptly to the state mental heal or

the wheelchair and the resident confirmed she was able to utilize bathroom.
An interview was conducted with the NHA and the DON on 9/13/23 at 5:56 p.m. The NHA and the DON
both stated the emergency call cord should be available in all resident bathrooms and the call cords should
not be wrapped around the grab bars. The residents should be able to pull the cord easily if needed. The
DON stated the expectation was for sharps to be fully disposed of, not left exposed. The DON did not know
why someone would not have properly disposed of the syringe, especially if the container was not full.
On 9/11/23 at 8:30 a.m. an observation of the housekeeping/nursing supply closet by Resident room
[ROOM NUMBER] revealed it was open. The housekeeping/nursing supply closet had bifold doors (two
doors one handle that would lock and one door with no handle with locking mechanism at the top, which
when not engaged both doors open). When pulling on the handle both doors opened. When opened, the
housekeeping/nursing supply closet revealed bleach wipes sitting on the counter at eye level. (Photographic
Evidence Obtained)
An interview was conducted on 9/13/23 at 12:15 p.m. with the MD. The MD confirmed the
housekeeping/nursing supply closet door should be locked. The MD continued to state the lock was working
properly but the staff have removed the locking mechanism off the door without the handle.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure effective pain management
was provided consistent with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered
care plan for one resident (#7) out of 14 residents on a pain management program.
Findings included:
An interview was conducted on 9/11/23 at 11:07 a.m. with Resident #7. Resident #7 was in her bed and
stated she was new to the facility, and she will most likely be a permanent resident. Resident #7 was
formerly living in an assisted living facility (ALF) prior to multiple surgeries on her right hip secondary to a
fall sustained at her former ALF. Resident #7 stated she had her final surgery in August (2023) and was
transferred four days later from the hospital to the current facility for physical therapy. Resident #7 said she
was unable to fully cooperate with her therapy because her pain is too bad. The resident said because the
pain is so bad she felt she would never leave this facility and go to another ALF or even home. The resident
verbalized her short- acting pain medication had been discontinued, but she was still receiving her
long-acting pain management regimen. Resident #7 stated she will get a nine o'clock dose in the morning
and then a nine o'clock dose at night. Resident #7 said, The pain is so bad, and no one cares.
A review of the admission Record, dated 8/16/23, for Resident #7 included a primary diagnosis of recurrent
right hip dislocation and secondary diagnoses included anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder,
schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, HFpEf (Heart failure), PVD (peripheral vascular disease), opioid
and tobacco dependence, chronic embolism, and thrombosis of right tibial vein, age-related osteoporosis
without current pathological fracture.
A review of Section C-Cognitive Patterns of the admission Minimum Date Set (MDS), dated [DATE],
showed the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 11, indicating she had
moderately impaired cognition. Section G - Functional Status for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) showed
Resident #7 was a one to two person assist with transfer, bathing, dressing, bed mobility, eating, toileting
and personal hygiene. Section J - Health Conditions/Pain Management showed Resident #7 was currently
receiving a pain medication regimen and confirmed pain over the last five days with pain affecting sleep.

six hours interval as needed for pain and Oxycodone 20 mg tablet twice a day for pain. Additional
medication for pain included Gabapentin 100 mg oral capsule with the following instructions, two capsules
by mouth three times a day.
Further review of Resident #7's hospital records showed the resident sustained an injury to her right hip
after a fall. Resident #7 had surgery to repair the initial injury but subsequently encountered, on three
separate occasions, dislocations of the right hip post repair. A [NAME] procedure [procedure involves
removing part of the ball of the thigh bone or femur, allowing it to fuse with the hip socket in the straight
position] was performed on 8/12/23 based on the numerous dislocations Resident #7 incurred and failed
attempts by the orthopedic surgeon to reduce the dislocation.
A review of Resident #7's active physician orders for September 2023 for pain management included:
*Oxycontin oral tablet ER 12-Hour Abuse Deterrent, give one tablet by mouth every twelve hours for Pain,
and to observe for any adverse effect, dated 8/25/23,
*Evaluate resident for pain by using the appropriate scale: 0: No pain; 1-3 Mild Pain; 4-6 Moderate Pain;
7-10 Severe Pain, dated 8/17/23,
*Weight-bearing as Tolerated (WBAT) continuing from her discharge summary orders post operatively from
the hospital,
* Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy (PT/OT) to evaluate and treat, dated 8/17/23.
A review of Resident #7's discontinued physician orders for pain showed an order, dated 8/16/23, for
Oxycodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 mg oral tablets to give one tablet every six hours as needed for pain
until discontinued on 8/22/23. A new order was placed on 8/22/23 for Acetaminophen 10-325 mg oral
tablets to give one tablet every six hours as needed for pain until 8/23/23.
Review of the Resident #7's electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) for August 2023, between
the dates of 8/17/23 to 8/22/23, showed the resident was administered eight doses out of a possible twenty
doses of her as needed pain medication. A review of the as needed pain medication administration
between 8/23/23 to 8/24/23 showed two doses were received out of a possibility of eight doses. The as
needed for pain medication physician orders were discontinued on 8/23/22 at midnight.
Review of a provider note from the Pain Management ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner),
dated 9/11/23, noted there were no signs and symptoms of abuse with medications. The note documented
the patient reported her OxyContin continues to help with pain that is generalized. Her pain level during the
visit was noted as 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. The ARNP noted the resident continues to ask for
increases in pain medication and has had an increase in medication over the past six months.
A follow- up interview was conducted on 9/11/23 at 12:25 p.m. with Resident #7 regarding her pain
management. The resident stated she had three surgeries on her right hip in a short time span with the
most recent surgery being last month. The decision was made not to repair her hip anymore due to
frequent dislocations. Resident #7 claimed to be able to place weight on the left side, but the pain is too bad
from the right side. The resident stated she receives long-acting Oxycodone at nine o'clock in the morning
and nine o'clock in the evening. The resident stated she is not asked everyday how her pain is and stated, If
they were to ask me, I would say 13-14 out of the 10 on that pain scale

6. Compartments (including, but not limited to, drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and boxes)
containing drugs and biologicals are locked when not in use. Unlocked medication carts are not left
unattended.
Based on observation, interview, record review and policy review the facility failed to ensure storage and
labeling of drugs and biologicals in accordance with professional standards, and failed to ensure
medications were secured and not accessible to residents, visitors and/or unauthorized staff for one
medication cart (Station Two) of two medication carts, and for one of one treatment carts located in an
unlocked medical supply room for two days ([DATE] and [DATE]) out of three days of the survey.
Findings included:
An observation was made upon entering the facility on [DATE] at 7:10 a.m. of an unlocked medical supply
room opened to a resident hallway. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) There were no staff around this area
at this time. Inside the medical supply room was an unlocked treatment cart. The first drawer of this
treatment cart contained a pair of sharp scissors and a pair of blunted trauma shears (Photographic
Evidence Obtained.) The second drawer contained residents' prescription medication.
On [DATE] at 2:45 p.m. a column was observed with a key hanging from a nail in Nurses Station Two. An
interview was conducted with Staff K, Registered Nurse (RN) at this time. Staff K, RN stated the hanging
key was utilized for the medical supply room. The height of the key could be obtained from a standing adult.
An observation on [DATE] at 8:53 a.m. revealed the medical supply room was opened to the resident
hallway with a treatment cart unlocked. No staff were present during this observation.

or in pieces, three hearing aid cases, one metallic chain, two keys, one denture cup, one hearing aid
battery, three entire pharmaceutical bubble packs in the back of the cart behind the bottom drawer, and a
white bottle with no commercial label marked in a permanent marker as Fe Iron on the side and on top of
the cap. Staff K, RN confirmed the bottle should have been labeled better than how it currently was
presented. Staff K, RN stated the night shift usually cleans the medication cart.

medication room by Nurse Station Two. The bottom drawer was brought out and the three pharmaceutical
dispense cards were removed. Two of the three medication bubble packs were for Baclofen for the same
resident with a current up to date expiration date and the third medication bubble pack was for Benztropine

tucked behind clothing racks, so they were not covering the door opening. Staff H confirmed the plastic
dividers should be down covering the door opening. When Staff H pulled the dividers down, they were stuck
together and folded up. In the clean laundry side, there were two commercial dryers running. The lint filters
in each were full. Staff H provided the sign off sheet saying the lint filters were cleaned hourly by the
