explained the current process for reporting and addressing maintenance concerns, noting that any staff
member may submit a work order, which can be recorded in maintenance logbooks located at each nursing
station and in the kitchen. The Maintenance Technician further explained that both he and the Maintenance
Director conduct monthly inspections to proactively identify and address areas in need of repair. During the
interview, he assessed the bathroom wall and faucet in room [ROOM NUMBER]'s bathroom. He
acknowledged the crumbling wall and the greenish biofilm buildup on the faucet, stating that the
accumulation appeared to have developed over an extended period. He concluded that the condition was
not acceptable and in need of corrective action.

bathroom wall and sink faucet in room [ROOM NUMBER]'s bathroom. He acknowledged that the wall
above the sink was in poor condition with the crumbling deposit around the sink and confirmed the
presence of a greenish biofilm buildup on the faucet. He indicated awareness of the need to repair the wall
and replace the faucet and recalled discussing the matter previously with the Administrator. He explained
that the repair priorities are determined in consultation with the Administrator and emphasized that
renovation efforts are ongoing but take time to complete in addition to the daily repairs.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, resident and staff interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 26 residents
reviewed medical record was clear and accurately documented in accordance with accepted professional
standards and practices. (Resident # 413)
The findings include:
On 06/23/2025 at approximately 2:00 PM, Resident #413 was observed lying in bed with hard braces on
the bilateral lower extremities which were noticeably swollen. The resident stated that she fell at home a
week ago, had surgery, and was admitted to this facility. When asked if she has done any physical therapy,
the resident answered yes, but it is hard with the braces on both legs. She stated she has pain and takes
extra-strength Tylenol for it. She then began to say that she found out that she has Deep Vein Thrombosis
(DVT) (a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein) in both legs and has to take Eliquis (an
anticoagulant that helps prevent blood clots) for it. The resident stated she was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Resident #413's record revealed that she does have diagnoses including DVT. The Orthopedic Surgery
Report on 06/12/2025 documented that the resident had a ground level fall, fractured right and left lower
femurs, had surgery to both legs with no complications. The plan included pain control, nonweightbearing to
both lower extremities, maintain hinged braces, Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy, DVT prophylaxis,
and start on Lovenox (another anticoagulant that helps prevent blood clots) for known bilateral DVTs. The
Orthopedic Progress Report on 06/15/2025 at 1:32 pm states to use the prophylaxis therapy Lovenox. But
when her hemoglobin and hematocrit (H&H) stabilized post transfusion, they would switch to Eliquis
therapy. On 06/19/2025 at 4:16 pm and 6/23/2025 at 10:45 am, the Nurse Practitioner (NP) wrote in the
electronic record, History of DVTs was previously on eliquis but stopped taking- continue lovenox. However,
in the Medication Administration Record, she appeared to be receiving Eliquis 5mg once every 12 hours,
with no Lovenox is ordered.
On 06/26/2025 at approximately 8:25 AM, an interview with nursing staff took place with Nurse K, Nurse C,
and Unit Manager B. They stated that Resident #413 was monitored for pain every 8 hours. When asked to
review the medication orders versus what the NP ordered, they acknowledged that she was taking Eliquis
but the orders appeared to state that she should be continuing the Lovenox.
On 06/26/25 at 11:20 AM, a telephone Interview with the NP was conducted. She stated that this resident
had bilateral femur fractures and she should be on Lovenox. She stated that Eliquis should be started when
the resident's Hemoglobin lab numbers are between 8.5 and 9, thereby indicating her condition was stable.
A record review of her recent lab results on 06/14/2025 indicated a Hemoglobin level of 7.7; on 6/15/2025,
she had a Hemoglobin level of 6.7; and on 6/20/2025 her Hemoglobin level was 7.7.
