Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital.
His diagnosis included unspecified convulsions, hemiplegia, and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction,
depression, and anxiety disorder.
The most recent annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of 12/29/23 revealed

year. She stated residents could choose to have their personal funds managed by the facility and quarterly
statements were provided to the residents who were alert and oriented, or to their Power of Attorney (POA)
if applicable. The BOM acknowledged there was not a system in place to ensure resident's quarterly
statements were sent out. She checked resident #44's account and remarked, He does have a personal
fund account. I was not aware he had an account. She verified the resident had not received his personal
fund quarterly statements because she was not aware he had an account.

funds with the facility, the facility must act as a fiduciary of the resident's funds and hold, safeguard,
manage and account for the personal funds of the resident deposited with the facility. The individual
financial record must be available to the resident through quarterly statements and upon request.

On [DATE] at 1:25 PM, the admission Director explained she received referrals from hospitals electronically
and accepted them tentatively pending review of documents and bed availability. She stated if there was
something unfamiliar to her she asked the Director of Nursing (DON) because she was not a nurse. She
reviewed the forms they requested from the hospital once they accepted the referral, and the DNRO was
not one of them. She stated any other form came on admission and was reviewed by the nurse receiving
the new resident. She shared she used a checklist to review the documents she needed against what was
received from the hospital. She provided a copy of the documents to the nurses in the unit and emailed a
copy to the Administrator, the DON, Medical Records, Social Services Director, Activities, Nursing
Supervisor, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, and the Scheduler. She stated she received the referral for
resident #57 on [DATE] at 11:40 AM. She recalled she received a call from the hospital Case Manager

protocol. He stated when the AHCA 3008 form showed the resident was DNR and the appropriate form was
not included in the hospital paperwork, he followed up right away by calling the hospital and family. He
stated he could ask the family to bring a copy if they had it and he would usually document the form was
missing and the steps he took in the medical record. He recalled when he reviewed the AHCA 3008 form
he noted resident #57 was a DNR in the hospital, but the DNRO form was not included. LPN G stated he
contacted the hospital and spoke with the nurse who gave him the report and asked for the DNR form. He
indicated he was told they did not have one. He said he contacted resident #57's family to clarify status and
her son told him he was going to be in the facility the next day. LPN G did not answer when asked if he told
the son the DNR form was not received from the hospital. He stated if a resident or family member wished

without the DNRO residents were treated as full code. She stated after the resident was taken to the
hospital, she informed the DON. She stated there were no subsequent questions about this event after that
day.
On [DATE] at 10:44 AM, during a telephone interview, the former DON stated she worked in the facility from
[DATE] until a week ago. She recalled resident #57 was admitted on a Friday evening and she received a
phone call at approximately midnight, from LPN H informing her resident #57 had coded and they
performed CPR. She remembered asking the nurse if resident #57 was a full code, and the response was
yes. She stated she did not take a good look at the documentation from the hospital. She indicated she left
the facility around 4:30 PM on Friday [DATE] therefore, she did not have an opportunity to review the
admission paperwork that was emailed to her. She said she did not receive a call from LPN G when the
resident was admitted to inform her the AHCA 3008 showed resident #57 was a DNR and the form was not
included in the packet from the hospital. She mentioned at some point during the conversation after
resident #57 coded, LPN G mentioned something about the DNR form and she was under the assumption
her family had mentioned DNR in the past. She stated she had not had the opportunity to look at the packet
when she returned to work on Monday [DATE]. She said she reviewed the CPR documentation and
progress notes in resident #57's medical record but did not look at the AHCA 3008 form. She stated the
nurse should have clarified the code status with the family when obtaining consent to treat. She indicated if
the family wanted DNR for resident #57, LPN G with another nurse could have witnessed the call and
obtain a physician's order. She stated she could not give a good answer as to why she did not look at the
hospital documents, but she knew the resident had been discharged . She indicated her focus that Monday
were the residents in the center, the ones admitted , and she took LPN G's word resident #57 was a full
code. She recalled she was busy orienting with the new DON and LPN G was a very good nurse, so she
had no reason to doubt him.
On [DATE] at 2:35 PM, the DON and Administrator explained the admission process to the facility. The DON
indicated the AHCA 3008 form showed who the decision maker was and specified Advanced Directives.
The Administrator stated he recalled being informed on Monday [DATE] that resident #57 became
unresponsive and emergency services was called. The DON stated she started working on [DATE] and
there was a folder with an investigation for the event related to resident #57. The documents provided by
the DON included a Code Blue Response Worksheet dated [DATE]. She indicated she had the folder, but
she was unaware of any issues, therefore no investigation was initiated. The Administrator acknowledged
that an investigation had not been done.
Review of the policy and procedures titled admission of a Resident revised on [DATE] read, The admission
process is intended to obtain all the information possible about the resident . The policy did not include
information about obtaining Advance Directives.
Review of the policy and procedures titled Advanced Directives Code Status issued on 1/2024 read, It is
the policy of the facility to honor Advanced Directives, Code Status and Do Not Resuscitate Orders in
accordance with State and Federal regulations.

(cc) or more of her fluid intake per day.
Review of resident #212's medical record revealed a care plan was initiated on 2/16/23 that indicated the
resident required an enteral feeding tube to meet nutrition and hydration needs related to her disease
process. A care plan initiated on 2/27/24 noted the resident required tube feeding for dysphagia and was at
risk for dehydration and complications related to tube feeding. The care plan interventions included to
provide tube feeding and water as ordered.
Resident #212's Order Summary Report and the Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed the
continuous auto flush order of 100 milliliters (ml) of water every four hours through the percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was discontinued on 2/16/24. A new physician order was initiated on
2/17/24, specifying that 42 ml of water per hour should be received by the resident for 20 hours, with the
auto flush on at 2 PM and off at 10 AM.
On 2/26/2024 at 2:38 PM, resident #212 was observed with Jevity 1.5 calorie tube feed formula infusing via
pump at 50 ml an hour with 100 ml water auto flush set at every 6 hours.
On 2/26/2024 at 2:40 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) A reviewed resident #212's enteral feeding order and
stated the current order specified the resident was to receive auto water flushes set at 42 ml per hour for 20
hours. The nurse confirmed the resident's gastrostomy tube water flush currently infused at 100 ml every 6
hours, which did not match the physician's order. RN A acknowledged she initiated the tube feed at 2 PM
and the water flush setting was incorrect. She stated the water flush should be set at 42 ml per hour for 20
hours.
ON 2/26/24 at 3:30 PM, the Registered Dietician (RD) confirmed the resident's water flush order had
changed from 100 ml every 4 hours to 42 ml every hour on 2/17/24.
On 2/29/24 at 3:10 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated RN A notified her the tube feed water flush
was infused at the wrong rate. Instead of infusing at 42 ml an hour, it was set at 100 ml every 6 hours.
When the error was brought to the DON's attention, she confirmed an incident report was

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 nurses monitored complication risks
for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for Dialysis, of a total sample of 27 residents, (#5).
Residents Affected - Some
Finding:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #5, an [AGE] year old female was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Her diagnoses included end stage renal (kidney) disease, dependence on renal dialysis, chronic
respiratory failure, hypoxemia (low blood oxygen), congestive heart failure (heart pumping dysfunction),
cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), Chronic Obstructive Respiratory Disease (COPD), anemia, type 2
diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, major depressive disorder, and acquired absence of both legs above the
knee. After re-hospitalization, on 2/18/24 she was readmitted back to the facility with additional diagnoses
that included pleural effusion (fluid in the lung space) and acute cystitis (bladder inflammation).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly Assessment with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) 11/19/23
noted the resident scored 13 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) that indicated she
was cognitively intact. The assessment showed there were no rejections of evaluation or care. The
assessment noted the resident required maximum assistance and was dependent on staff for mobility and
to complete Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). She had gained 5% or more unplanned weight in the last
month or 10% or more in the previous month, and she received hemodialysis while a resident during the
look back period.
The Care Plan showed there were Focus items for altered cardiovascular status, chronic and acute pain,
high-risk medication adverse effects, high-risk for falls, incontinence, ADL self-care performance deficits,
end stage renal disease and dialysis complication risks with interventions that nurses monitored and
assessed vital signs, port access, and weights after treatments.
The Order Summary Report showed active physician orders for Consistent Carbohydrate Diet/Renal Diet
puree texture with a 1000 milliliters (ml) daily fluid restriction.
On 2/26/24 at 10:30 AM, resident #5 was observed in her room lying in bed.
On 2/27/24 at 9:53 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) C stated the resident was out of the facility for dialysis
treatment.
On 2/27/24 at 3:39 PM, RN A said nurses were expected to complete a handwritten dialysis communication
form every time a resident went out for dialysis treatment. She stated, all completed forms were kept at the
nurses station in a binder under a tab with the resident's name. The nurse explained the forms were
important to track the resident's condition and monitor for changes and complications so they could notify
the physician if needed.
On 2/27/24 at 3:50 PM, a review of the Dialysis Book kept at the nurse's station revealed it contained a total
of six Dialysis Transfer Forms for resident #5 that dated back to April 29, 2023. The form noted three
sections for nurses to complete before, at, and after dialysis treatments. The middle section was to be
completed by the dialysis center, and a bottom section for facility nurses that read, Completion upon return
to Center following dialysis appointment. All six of the resident's

Residents Affected - Some
forms were missing entries from the dialysis center and facility nurses upon the resident's return. RN A
checked the binder and acknowledged there were only six forms for the resident, and all six were
incomplete. She said she had not yet completed the current days form.
Review of the Weights and Vitals Summary Report revealed from August 2023 to February 2024, resident
#5 was not weighed after dialysis treatments 78 out of 92 times. The report did not include vital signs
entries.
In an interview on 2/29/2024 at 2:48 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said nurses were expected to follow
physician's orders for dialysis treatments, monitor for complications, and notify the doctor if there were
concerns. She stated weights were expected to be done upon the resident's return to the facility from
dialysis. She explained, she had been working at the facility for less than a week and said the previous
DON was, working with dialysis for the check site bleeding.
Review of the Dialysis Book revealed it contained instructions for nurses that read, 1) Verify that the middle

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Consultant Pharmacist's recommendations
were acted upon in a timely manner for 3 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications of a total
sample of 27 residents, (#1, #28, #45).
Findings:
1. Resident #1, a [AGE] year-old female was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with her most recent
readmission on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included multiple sclerosis, diabetes type 2, schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, pseudobulbar effect, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety.
Review of the resident's Pharmacist recommendations revealed the following: on 8/16/23 the resident had
an order for Austedo IR 18 milligram (mg) daily. The recommendation was for the physician to consider
changing the medication to twice daily. The rationale documented for the recommendation was, Per
manufacturer, doses greater than or equal to 12 mg/day should be administered in two divided doses. The
prescriber's response dated 9/01/23 indicated the prescriber agreed with the recommendation, and
documentation read, Give Austedo 12 mg BID (twice daily)
Austedo tablets are prescription medicines that are used to treat .movements in the face, tongue, or other
body parts that cannot be controlled. (retrieved from austedo.com on 3/11/2024)
Review of the resident's physician orders showed an order dated 9/08/23 for Austedo 6 mg, and directive
was to give 12 mg BID. This order was entered in the resident's clinical record seven (7) days after the
prescriber's response to the Pharmacist's recommendation.
The Pharmacist's recommendation on 1/05/24 indicated the resident had order for Aripiprazole 7 mg daily
since 1/2023, and a GDR/decreasing (Gradual Dose Reduction) to Aripiprazole 5 mg daily was
recommended. The prescriber agreed with the recommendation on 2/03/24.
Review of the resident's physician orders revealed an entry dated 2/09/24 for Aripiprazole 5 mg daily. The
order was entered six (6) days after the prescriber's response, and approximately one month since the
Pharmacist's recommendation was made.
2. Resident #28, a 75- year-old male was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included
cerebral infarction, diabetes type 2, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, mood disturbance,
chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, major depressive disorder, and hyperlipidemia.
The Pharmacist recommendation dated 5/12/23 revealed the resident had physician's order for Novolin
Regular sliding scale insulin, and the recommendation was to consider discontinuing the sliding scale
insulin. The rationale documented was, sliding scale insulin typically results in increased resident
discomfort due to blood glucose monitoring and directs that a basal- bolus strategy more closely mimics a
normal physiologic response for more effective glucose control. The physician/prescriber disagreed with the
recommendation on 8/03/23 and added the insulin Glargine 15 Units at bedtime.
Review of the resident's physician orders revealed the insulin Glargine was not addressed until

On 2/29/24 at 2:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) explained the process for the Pharmacist
recommendations included, the Consultant pharmacist sends the report/recommendations to the DON via
email. The DON then distributed the recommendations to the physicians, who would agree, or disagree with
the recommendation, which would be signed and dated, and returned to the DON. She stated the
expectation was that physicians would respond to the recommendations as soon as possible, and they
would be acted upon before the next pharmacy review. The DON said, if the physician/prescriber agreed
with the recommendations, the order should be entered into the facility's electronic system on the day the
physician responded to the recommendations. Resident #1's pharmacy recommendations dated 8/16/23,
and 1/05/24 were reviewed with the DON. She acknowledged that response to the recommendations was
not timely. Resident #28's pharmacy recommendation dated 5/12/23 was reviewed with the DON. She
acknowledged the physician's response was dated 8/03/23, and the order for the insulin Glargine was not
entered into the resident's clinical records until 8/18/23. The DON acknowledged that response to the
pharmacist's recommendation was not timely, and stated it was not acceptable, and should have been
acted upon in a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Few
3. Resident #45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and depression.
Findings:
Review of the monthly Medication Regimen Review revealed that a pharmacy recommendation was made
on 11/08/23 to taper or discontinue Prednisone if appropriate. The physician agreed with the
recommendation and signed the recommendation to discontinue Prednisone on 11/15/23. The medication
was not discontinued until one month later, on 12/15/23.
A pharmacy recommendation dated 12/12/23 noted to add a diagnosis for Methotrexate. The
recommendation was not signed by the practitioner until 2/01/24.
A pharmacy recommendation was made on 12/12/23 for Humalog insulin sliding scale to have a 14 day
stop date. The practitioner agreed and signed the recommendation on 2/01/24.
On 2/29/24 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated she just started to work in this facility on 2/19/24. She stated her
process would be, when she receives the monthly recommendations via email from the pharmacy, she
would review the recommendations first and if the recommendation requires a medication change, she
would call the physician with the recommendation and place the order in the computer. All other
recommendations would be placed in the physician's book and she would request that the physician
complete the recommendation and return it to her. The DON said, My expectation is to have the
recommendation back as soon as possible and before the next monthly recommendation. She stated the
order should be put in the facilities computer system the day that it is received. The DON reviewed the
above recommendations for resident #45, and acknowledged none of the three orders were acted upon
timely, which is unacceptable and they should have been completed the month they were received.
The facility's policy Consultant Pharmacist Reports Documentation and Communication of Consultant
Pharmacist Recommendations dated May 2022 read, The consultant pharmacist works with the facility to
establish a system whereby the consultant pharmacist observations and recommendations regarding
resident's medication therapies are communicated to those with authority and/or responsibility to implement

interview and record review, the facility failed to clarify an order for Voltaren gel 1%, that did not have
directions for required amount of medication to be used for 2 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary
medications of a total sample of 27 residents, (#23, #213).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
1. Resident #23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include myocardial infarction,
depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and chronic kidney disease.
Review of the resident's physician orders dated 2/12/24, revealed orders for Voltaren external gel 1%, apply
to bilateral knees topically two times a day for pain. On 2/14/24 an order for Voltaren external gel 1%, apply
to bilateral feet typically every 8 hours as needed for pain (with no stop date) and an order on 2/15/24, for
Voltaren external gel 1% (topical) apply to bilateral feet topically two times a day for pain for 7 days. The
orders had no direction for the amount of gel to apply.
2. Resident #213 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include encephalopathy,
dementia, type 2 diabetes, anxiety, and depression.
Review of physician orders dated 2/27/24, read Voltaren external gel 1% apply to bilateral knees topically
two times a day for pain. The order had no direction for the amount of gel to apply.
On 2/29/24 at 2:48 PM, the Director of Nursing, (DON) stated If the physician did not write a complete
order, my expectation is that the nurse will get a clarification order from the physician. The DON reviewed
the order for Voltaren gel 1% for residents #23 and #213, and acknowledged the order required clarification
because it had no direction as to the amount of the medication to be used.
On 2/29/24 at 6:41 PM, Registered Nurse I stated, when she used Voltaren gel she would get the order
from the physician and apply the gel topically. She stated she did not know the medication required
direction for the amount of gel to use and did not know the medication had to be measured prior to applying
it to the resident.
Manufacturer's dosing recommendations included:
Patients should use it 4 times a day, every day.
Do not use on more than 2 body areas at the same time.
After 21 days, patients should consult a physician before further use.
The dosing card should always be used to measure a dose. For each upper body area (hand, wrist, or
elbow) squeeze out 2.25 inches (2 grams) For each lower body area (foot, ankle, or knee) squeeze out 4.5
inches (4 grams). (retrieved from https://www.haleonhealthpartner.com/voltaren on 3/01/24).
For Voltaren® 1% topical gel: Use the enclosed dosing card to measure the correct dose. The gel
should be applied within the oblong area of the dosing card up to the 2 or 4 gram line (2 grams for each
elbow, wrist, or hand, and 4 grams for each knee, ankle, or foot). (retrieved from

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored in a safe
and sanitary manner in the kitchen's walk in refrigerator and 1 of 1 nourishment room and failed to ensure 2
of 3 employees observed followed appropriate hygienic practices in food preparation areas.
Findings:
1. An initial visit to the kitchen on 2/26/24 at 9:06 AM revealed a tray of refried beans and a tray of ravioli
with tomato sauce in the walk-in refrigerator were covered with a plastic wrap but were not labeled or dated.
The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) stated they had to be from the weekend and acknowledged all
leftovers in the refrigerator had to be properly labeled and dated.
2. On 2/29/24 at 5:56 PM, observation of a refrigerator located in the nourishment room with Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) D revealed two Styrofoam cups with leftover shakes. One cup had a room number
and 2/26 written and the other cup had 2/29 written but did not have a resident's name and room number.
CNA D discarded both cups and stated they should not use food in the refrigerator after a couple of days
and residents' leftovers had to be labeled with the appropriate name and room number.
3. On 2/29/24 at approximately 6:05 PM, [NAME] E was observed wearing large yellow hoop earrings and
Dietary Aide F was eating from a Styrofoam cup while wrapping and labeling leftovers in the food
preparation area.
On 2/29/24 at 6:13 PM, [NAME] E stated she was not supposed to wear big hoop earrings when she
worked. She explained the earrings could fall off in the food during preparation.

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to fully implement and monitor Performance
Improvement Plans (PIPs) for identified resident care deficits.
Residents Affected - Some
Finding:
In an interview on 2/29/24 at 2:48 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said nurses were expected to monitor
residents who received dialysis for complications and notify the doctor if there were concerns. She
explained, she had been working at the facility for less than a week and said the previous DON was,
working with dialysis for the check site bleeding.
On 2/29/24 at 3:20 PM, the DON stated she had a PIP related to dialysis residents with fluid restrictions.
She provided documents she referred to as a PIP with logs titled Dialysis Audit Tool with handwritten
entries dated from 1/19/2024 to 2/19/2024 and a blank form titled, Dialysis Communication Tool. She
explained that the former DON had developed a new form and implemented the project two months prior.
On 2/27/24 at 3:50 PM, a review of the Dialysis Book kept at the nurse's station revealed it contained blank
and completed forms titled, Dialysis Transfer Form updated December 2017. RN A checked the binder and
explained the forms were used to monitor and track conditions of residents on dialysis. The book did not
contain the new form identified by the DON as new and included in the current PIP.
On 2/29/24 at 6:07 PM, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) said the Quality Assurance Performance
Improvement (QAPI) review was delayed because he had difficulty locating PIP records.
In a joint interview with the NHA and DON on 2/29/24 at 6:14 PM, the NHA explained the QAPI committee
met monthly to review, discuss, and identify root causes and develop plans for improvement. He said the
committee used track and trending reports from its members and resident council to identify performance
deviations, audit tool development, and any needs for ongoing PIP revisions.
The DON said the dialysis PIP did not include evidence that indicated nurse education was provided as
outlined in the actions. She reviewed the PIP documents and acknowledged the audit forms were
incomplete with several missing entries. She could not explain why the Dialysis Book had not contained the
new forms indicated in the PIP and stated, it was not successful; the interim DON told me it wasn't working,
and I have to continue.
The NHA said in October 2023, the committee identified concerns related to a high number of resident falls
after meals. The NHA recalled that there was a PIP and audit tool created and forms were presented at the
last two QAPI meetings however, he was unable to locate the records. He explained, the DON planned to
bring the concern to their next QAPI meeting and said, we will start over next month.
The NHA explained, monitoring and tracking of PIPs in QAPI and Quality Assessment and Assurance
(QAA) programs was essential to facilitate improvement with facility identified concerns for the residents
and stated, you know we bring it forward to QAPI to establish a root cause and try to improve on whatever
needs improvement.
