The findings include:
Resident #63
An observation on 3/11/2024 at 12:58 PM noted Staff A, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), standing
while assisting Resident #63 with breakfast.
On 03/14/24 at 9:00 AM, Staff A was again observed standing while assisting with feeding Resident #61.
When Staff A was asked if that is the way they feed the residents, Staff A stated she isn't always standing.
She was aware they are to assist residents with feeding while sitting.
In an interview on 3/13/2024 at 1:28 PM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), she was asked if
the staff receive training on sitting while assisting residents with feeding. She stated they did. She was then
advised that Staff A was observed standing while assisting Resident #63. The ADON agreed that it was a
dignity concern for the resident.
Resident # 70
On 3/11/24 at approximately 11:37 AM, Resident #70 was observed from the hallway lying in bed with the

door open to the hallway, with the catheter bag attached to the bed rail and visible from the hallway.
On 3/13/24 at approximately 10:22 AM, an interview was conducted with the Risk Manager Registered
Nurse. The Risk Manager confirmed that the catheter bag was visible from the hallway and indicated that it
should be covered for dignity with a dignity bag. The Risk Manager went on to state that she would get that
fixed right away.
A review of the facility policy titled Dignity (dated December 2017), revealed under Policy, The Center must
treat each Resident with respect and dignity for each Resident in a manner and in an environment that

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview and record review, the facility failed to provide
activities of daily living assistance with finger and toenail trimming for 2 of 3 residents sampled (Resident
#31 and #47). The facility also failed to facilitate Restorative Nursing services as ordered for Resident #31.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
Resident #31, Toenail Care
On 03/11/24 at approximately 12:36 PM, Resident #31 was observed with no socks or shoes. An
observation of Resident #31 toenails noted very long toenails to both big toes and the third toe on the right
foot. Resident #31 stated that she wasn't aware of the last time she had her toenails cut. A second
observation of Resident #31 toenails on 03/13/24 at approximately 12:53 PM noted that the toenails had
not been cut since the previous observation.
On 03/13/24 at 1:25 PM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was asked what the process was for
residents to have their toenails cut. She stated if the resident is a diabetic, the podiatrist must do it. If they
are not, then the nurse does it. When asked if there was a schedule or a process to ensure that the
resident's toes are evaluated for need of trimming, she stated it likely should be done on their shower day,
but that they really don't have a process to ensure toes were evaluated.
Resident #31, Restorative Therapy
A review of the medical record on 3/13/2024 noted that Resident #31 had an order for Restorative Therapy
dated 12/20/2023 to utilize the arm bike for 15 minutes on Level 2, three times a week for 12 weeks.
A review of the monthly intervention and task reports noted that the resident did not receive active range of
motion therapy as ordered for Restorative Nursing 2-3 times a week. A review of the January 2024
intervention and tasks noted that Resident #31 received Active Range of Motion (ROM) for only 1 of 31
days in January. A review of February 2024 intervention and tasks noted Resident #31 received Active
ROM for only 4 of 29 days.
In an interview on 3/14/2024 at approximately 3:26 PM, Staff G, a Restorative Nurse, stated that Resident
#31 was ordered for the Omni Cycle bilateral upper extremities back in December. She stated the staff have
been trying to get her to utilize the machine, but the resident has refused. She stated she should have
documented attempts to utilize the machine, but she neglected to do that. On 03/14/24 at 04:00 PM, Staff G
returned and stated she had reviewed the order again and realized that she had entered the order
incorrectly. The order was entered as a PRN order which meant as needed, as opposed to three times a
week. She stated that because of the error, the staff were probably not asking Resident #31 appropriately
and as frequently.
Resident #47, fingernails and toenails
On 3/11/2024 at approximately 10:54 AM, an observation was made of Resident #47. Resident #47 was
observed to have long fingernails on both hands and long toenails to the right foot. Resident #47's

fingernails on the right hand appeared discolored and were noted to have a brown substance underneath
each fingernail. Resident #47's toenails on the right foot appeared long and thick.
On 3/11/2024 at approximately 10:57 AM, an interview was conducted with Resident #47, who was alert to
person and place. Resident #47 was asked if he allows the staff to trim his fingernails and toenails.
Resident #47 indicated he does allow the staff to trim his fingernails and toenails and indicated the staff
have trimmed his fingernails on his left hand in the past, but not his fingernails on his right hand or his
toenails on either foot.
On 3/12/2024 at approximately 9:56 AM, another observation was made of Resident #47. Resident #47
who is alert and oriented to person and place gave verbal consent to take photographic evidence of his
right hand and right foot. The resident was observed to have long fingernails on the right hand with a brown
substance underneath each fingernail. The resident was also observed to have long toenails to the right
foot.
(photographic evidence obtained).
On 3/12/2024 at approximately 2:10 PM, an interview was conducted with the ADON regarding the policy
for trimming resident's fingernails and toenails. The ADON indicated the Certified Nursing Assistants
(CNAs) should be trimming residents' fingernails and toenails on days the residents are given or assisted
with a bath. The ADON indicated, if the resident is a known Diabetic, they are referred to podiatry for toenail
trims. The ADON indicated the CNAs should be reporting to the Nurses if they are unable to trim the
residents' fingernails and toenails or if the residents refuse care.
On 3/13/2024, a record review was conducted for Resident #47. The record review confirmed that Resident
#47 did not have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus. The record review also confirmed that Resident #47 has
not refused hygiene care.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to
ensure proper storage of medications for 1 of 21 sampled residents (Resident #71).
The findings include:
On 3/11/24 at approximately 1:50 PM, medications and medication supplies were observed on the bedside
table of Resident #71. No staff members were in the room. There was a 1 pound jar of Triamcinolone
Acetonide Cream 0.1% sitting on the bedside table. On top of the jar was a 30 milliliter medicine cup
containing a white substance. Also observed on the bedside table was an emesis basin containing a
prefilled saline syringe, a multidose bottle of Artificial Tears eye drops, and 8 alcohol impregnated port
protectors (used to cap off ports used for intravenous infusions).
During the observation, an interview was conducted with Resident #71 regarding the medications and
supplies observed on the bedside table. Resident #71 stated the emesis basin with the supplies just stays
on my table for the staff to utilize. Resident #71 stated the nurses told him that he could apply the cream
himself. He thought the cream was for his groin area, but stated he was unsure exactly where to apply it.
Resident #71 stated he was capable of applying the cream if properly instructed, but would prefer if the
nursing staff applied it.
On 3/11/24 at approximately 1:57 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D entered Resident #71's room, and
an interview was conducted regarding the storage of the medications, eye drops, saline pre-filled syringes,
and alcohol impregnated port protectors. LPN D indicated the medications and supplies should be kept on
the medication cart and was unaware of who left the medications and supplies on the resident's bedside
table. LPN D disposed of the eye drops in the resident's trash can and removed the medications and
supplies from the bedside table.
On 3/11/24 at approximately 2:04 PM, an interview was conducted with Assistant Director of Nursing E
(ADON E) who was asked if prefilled saline syringes are normally kept at the bedside. ADON E stated that
this occurs only when the nurse is returning in a few minutes to flush the line. ADON E was asked if the eye
drops, alcohol impregnated port protectors, and the anti-fungal cream should be left at the bedside. The
ADON E indicated those items should not be at any bedside and that they should be kept on the
medication cart.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Storage of Medications, indicated drugs and biologicals are to be
locked up when not in use, and trays or carts used to transport such items are not left unattended. The
policy also indicated drugs and biologicals are stored in the containers in which they were received.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on record review, staff interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure complete and accurate
documentation on the Medication Administration Records (MARs) for for 1 of 5 residents sampled for
unnecessary medication review.
The findings include:
A record review was conducted of Resident #49's medical record, which revealed an order written for
premethrin external cream 5% (a cream often used to treat scabies) on 3/1/24. A review of the Electronic
Medication Administration Record (EMAR) revealed the premethrin cream was scheduled to be given for 4
days from 3/1/24 - 3/4/24. However, there was no documentation of this cream being applied.
On 3/13/24, an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) at approximately 3:11 PM. The
DON stated that she would expect this order to be documented. Later, she stated that she had followed up
with the supervisor and confirmed that the resident did receive the medication.
On 3/14/24 at approximately 3:02 pm, a follow up interview was conducted with the Director of Clinical
Services, who confirmed that all administered medications should be documented.
Review of the policy titled:Administration of Drugs dated October 2019 revealed, Policy: Drugs will be
administered in a timely manner and as prescribed by the resident's attending physician or the Center's
Medical Director. Under Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 4. Topical drugs used in treatments
should be recorded on the resident's treatment record. 10. The nurse administering the drugs must
electronically sign the resident's EMAR.
Further review of Resident #49's record revealed a current plan of care for Psychotropic Medications
(medications used to help manage behaviors) which included an intervention to observe and document for
adverse medication side effects every shift. Upon review of the electronic medication administration record,
no documentation was noted for side effect monitoring on the following dates and shifts: 3/1/24 on the day
shift (7:00 AM - 3:00 PM) or the evening shift (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM), 3/2/24 on the day shift, 3/4/24 on the
evening shift, 3/5/24 on the evening or night shift(11:00 PM to 7:00 AM), 3/6/24 on the evening shift, 3/7/24
on the evening shift, 3/8/24 on the evening shift, 3/11/24 on the evening shift, or 3/13/24 on the evening
shift.
A review of the policy Charting Errors/Omissions, November 2001, item 4 Any hole or omitted
documentation is considered an error/omission.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 3/13/24 at approximately 3:34 PM. The
DON indicated that it was her expectation to document every time anything is done for our residents, like
giving medications.
