Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
On 11/13/19 at 10:30 a.m., a meeting was conducted with regular members of the Resident Council. During
the meeting Resident #8 reported that residents had not been on an outside trip for almost a year. Resident
#8 stated that some residents wanted to visit the local bingo hall or go out in the community to look at
Christmas lights. Resident #53 reported that the facility's van was broken for over a year but was recently
registered and tagged.
A review of the previous Resident Council meeting minutes revealed the following:
- 1/11/18: Discussion of New Business - Van broken when will it be fixed. The Administration response,
dated 1/15/18, indicated the van was not repairable and the facility was waiting to determine the cost of
installing an upgraded generator mandated by the state agency before making a decision on repairing the
van.
- 8/8/19: Request to go to the bingo hall away from the facility.
- 9/19/19: Old Business - Going to bingo hall away from the facility. The response documented to resolve
this issue was corporation aware of the van situation with no additional information or plan towards
resolution to the resident council's request to attend outside activities.
- 10/3/19: Residents asked about transportation van for outings to local retail store.
On 11/13/19 at 12:29 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed that the facility van had not
worked for two years. She reported that she wanted to rent a bus or van for the resident outings but had not
done so. The NHA stated that the van parked in the parking lot was registered and insured, but there was
no money to fix it.
On 11/14/19 at 11:08 a.m., the Activity Director stated residents had asked to go out and were asking
questions about the repairs on the van. She stated that she offered alternative activities and shops for the
residents.

the nursing station or dining room. (Photographic evidence obtained).
An observation of the first-floor dining room was conducted on 11/12/19 at 9:30 a.m. Three dining tables
had no dining cloth on them. One of the three tables had sharp, jagged edges. When meal times were over,
Residents used this room to watch television. This table was easily accessible to any residents walking
between the dining room and the patio. (Photographic evidence obtained).
Review of the Facility's Maintenance Log, located at the 1st floor Nursing station, revealed that from
9/29/19 through 11/11/19, none of the above-named concerns were listed. Only one call bell was identified
with a problem and had to be repaired.
An interview was conducted with Staff K, the Maintenance Director, on 11/14/19 at 2 p.m. Staff K said On
the floors, we have maintenance logs where the staff lets us know that something needs to be fixed, and
then we repair it. Those logs are kept at the nursing station on each floor. I also have a 5-page list of things
that need to be fixed, and it is truly a work in progress, and there are budget constraints. The items
highlighted in yellow have been fixed. Maintenance makes rounds on the floors daily and inspects the halls
and common areas for safety issues. I just had a guy come over last week to clean the vents. Some of
those discolorations are rust and are hard to come off. Staff K then confirmed the presence of observations
B- D on the above list. He shook his head, and stated yes, those are areas of concern. We will take care of
it. When asked if he adheres to a certain schedule for fixing items on the list, he stated No, we just mark it
off as we get it done, unless it's an emergency.
Review of the Maintenance Report furnished by the Maintenance Director revealed that none of the
observed concerns were listed on his 5-page log. There was mention of a corner guard across from the
elevator and across from the Nurse's station. It was not highlighted in yellow, indicating it was not fixed yet.
There were numerous items on all 5 pages which were still pending repair. A good percentage of those
items that were highlighted and fixed included changing light bulbs and replacing pull strings.
Review of the Facility's policy titled Maintenance Service, revised in December 2009, revealed Policy
Statement: Maintenance service shall be provided to all areas of the building, grounds, and equipment.
Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 1) The Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining
buildings, grounds, and equipment in safe and operable manner at all times. 2) Functions of maintenance
personnel include: b) maintaining the building in good repair and free from hazards. 3) The Maintenance
Director is responsible for developing and maintaining a schedule of maintenance service to assure that the
buildings, grounds, and equipment are maintained in a safe and operable manner. 8) The Maintenance
Director is responsible for maintaining the following records: m) Maintenance schedules.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and review of policy and procedures the facility failed to investigate the grievance for
one (#94) of one resident reviewed for personal property in regards to a set of missing dental implants.
Findings included:
During an interview, on 11/13/19 at 8:43 a.m., Resident #94 and a family member reported the resident
was missing a set of dental implants, and another resident had been observed in Resident #94's bed. The
resident and family member stated that they had requested a velcro stop sign for the doorway. Observation
of Resident #94 at the time of the interview revealed the resident was edentulous on the front bottom of oral
cavity with two (2) metal poles on either side of the edentulous area. The observation indicated no stop sign
banner was present in the doorway of Resident #94's room. The family member reported they had not
heard anything from the facility regarding the grievance. Follow-up interview with Resident #94 on 11/14/19
at 9:29 a.m. revealed the resident did not recall who the missing implant was reported to.
Review of Resident #94's clinical record revealed she was admitted near the end of October 2019. The
admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated a Brief Interview of Mental Status of 15,
which indicated the resident was cognitively intact.
A review of the grievance log revealed no grievance was filed in regards to Resident #94's missing
implants. A review of the resident's progress notes revealed no mention of missing dental implants.
During an interview, on 11/15/19 at 10:17 a.m., the Social Service Director (SSD)/Grievance Officer stated
Resident #94's family member spoke to her, on 11/6/19, regarding the missing teeth. The SSD stated the
staff informed her that the missing implant was found in a dental cup in the resident's nightstand. According
to the Director, staff had notified her that the resident had informed them that the found implants were not
the original missing ones. The SSD reviewed the grievance log and investigation and stated I didn't log it.
The SSD was unaware the second pair were missing also. The investigation portion of the grievance did not
indicate the SSD had spoken with the resident or family member regarding the grievance. The SSD stated
staff had told her they had informed the sister that the dental implants were located. When informed that the
family member and resident reported missing implants, the SSD questioned, so the extra ones are missing
too? A continuation of the interview with the SSD on 11/15/19 revealed she had spoken with the Director of
Nursing regarding the missing implant and was told the second pair did not fit the resident so they were
taken home. Resident #94 continued to be missing a set of lower dental implants. At 10:40 a.m. on
11/15/19, the SSD confirmed that she should have spoken with the family prior to resolving the grievance.
The policy titled Filing Grievances/Complaints, revised April 2017, identified the Administrator and staff will
make prompt efforts to resolve grievances to the satisfaction of the resident and/or representative. The
policy indicated the Grievance Officer will review and investigate the allegations and submit a written report
of such findings to the Administrator within five (5) working days of receiving the grievance and /or
complaint. The policy revealed the Grievance Officer, Administrator and staff would take immediate action
to prevent further potential violations of resident rights while the alleged violation was being investigated.
The implementation of the policy indicated the resident, or person filing the grievance and/or complaint on
behalf of the resident would be informed

observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS)
Assessment was coded accurately for one resident (#296) of two residents reviewed for
Communication-Sensory Deficits. Resident #296's MDS did not accurately reflect his vision status.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Included:
Review of Resident #296's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the section for vision: ability to
see in adequate light was marked 0 as adequate.
Review of Resident #296's admission Record revealed diagnoses that included: Open angle Glaucoma. His
physician orders included Latanoprost eye drops; 1 drop each eye in the evening. Azopt eye drops: 1 drop
twice a day in both eyes. Initiate fall prevention program (started 11/4/19).
Review of Resident #296's Care plan, dated 10/14/19, revealed: Falls: at risk for falls related to impaired
vision, impaired cognition, and poor safety awareness. Approach: start 11/4/19: assist/guide to chair when
observing resident sitting in chair. No additional interventions for impaired vision could be found in the plan
of care.
An observation of Resident #296 was conducted on 11/14/19 at 12:30 p.m. Resident was ambulating by
himself in the hall with frequent stops. The resident had to be guided by staff.
An observation was conducted on 11/14/19 at 12: 40 p.m.: Resident #296 was observed in the dining room.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) set up his meal, then oriented him to the location of items on his
plate. Resident was able to eat without further help.
During an interview with Staff I, CNA, on 11/14/19 at 2 p.m., she said I've known this resident since he
came here. I think his vision is much worse now than when he was admitted . He can see things right in
front of him, but he has difficulty with his peripheral vision, his sides. That's why he fell, I think. He was
trying to sit down on the chair and missed it so we make sure to orient him to his surroundings.
An interview was conducted with Staff P, also a CNA, on 11/14/19 at 2:15 p.m. Staff P said Yes, he does
have trouble seeing. But he knows how to feel his way down the hall, you know, he walks and runs his
hands along the wall to feel his way, but we must watch when he tries to sit. He misses sometimes. He goes
to Restorative for dining, and they help him with his meals by cutting it up and telling him where everything
is on his plate. When asked if he is care planned for impaired vision, Staff P said No, it's not on our kiosk,
our CNA tasks. It just talks about his low vision in terms of falls, but not for assistance with Activities of Daily
Living (ADL's.). Let me show you my kiosk. There were no specific tasks related to impaired vision, or
assistance with ADL's due to impaired vision noted in the kiosk system.
An interview was conducted with two MDS Coordinators on 11/14/19 at 3 p.m., Staff Q and Staff E,
confirmed that the MDS section B: Vision: was marked incorrectly as Adequate. They confirmed that the
MDS assessment related to vision was not accurate. Staff Q stated we share the responsibilities of the
MDS Assessment and Care plan with Social Services. We are all present at the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team)
meetings, and we should have caught it then and included it in his care plan. We missed it.

him where everything is on his plate. When asked if he is care planned for impaired vision, Staff P said No,
it's not on our kiosk, our CNA tasks. It just talks about his low vison in terms of falls, but not for assistance
with Activities of Daily Living (ADL's.). Let me show you my kiosk. There were no specific tasks related to
impaired vision, or assistance with ADL's due to impaired vision noted in the kiosk system.

An interview was conducted with two MDS Coordinators on 11/14/19 at 3 p.m., Staff Q and Staff E,
confirmed that the MDS section B: Vision: was marked incorrectly as Adequate. Both Staff Q and Staff E
confirmed that Impaired Vision was not listed on the care plan as a target area and therefore no
interventions were developed or implemented. They confirmed that the MDS assessment related to vision
was not accurate. Staff Q stated we share the responsibilities of the MDS Assessment and Care plan with
Social Services. We are all present at the IDT meetings, and we should have caught it then and included it
in his care plan. We missed it.
An interview was conducted with Staff R, the Director of Social Services, on 11/14/19 at 3:20 p.m. She said
Yes, we did have an interdisciplinary team meeting on 10/15/19 and on 11/4/19, but we did not talk about
his impaired vision or put it on the care plan. Yes, I would expect his assessment to reflect impaired vision,
and it should be on the care plan.

diabetes mellitus without complications.
At 9:26 a.m. on 11/14/19, Resident #14 was observed in a wheelchair, being propelled in the hallway
towards the units' shower room. On 11/15/19 at 2:10 p.m., Resident #14 was observed lying in bed, alert
and spoke in a repetitive manner.
A review of Resident #14's Physician Order Report identified the following current medication order:
- Novolin 70/30 (insulin nph and regular human) suspension; 100 unit/milliliter (mL) (70-30); amount: 20 unit
subcutaneous. Special instructions: Inject 20 units sub-q (subcutaneous) twice daily. Diagnosis (dx):

Mellitus without complications. Twice daily: 6:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., start date 4/1/19 - open ended.
Resident #14's clinical record included a Pharmacy Consultation Report, dated 3/31/2019, with a
recommendation to please increase Novolin 70/30 insulin from 20 to 22 units twice daily with meals and
consider increasing the twice daily dose by 2 units/dose every 4 days until fasting glucose targets were
achieved. The comment, included with the recommendation, indicated Resident #14 had experienced
episodes of morning hyperglycemia with fasting glucose levels being frequently elevated to greater than
200- 300 milligram/deciliter (mg/dL) in March. The recommendation did not identify a response from the
physician or a physician signature.
A Pharmacy Consultation Report, dated 5/22/19, indicated a repeat recommendation to increase Resident
#14's Novolin 70/30 insulin from 20 units to 22 units due to an increase in blood glucose levels. The report
did not indicate a physician response or signature regarding the recommendation to increase the residents'
insulin. The report asked for a prompt response to assure the facility compliance with Federal regulations.
The Pharmacy Consultation Report, dated 7/31/19, indicated a repeat recommendation from 3/31 and
5/22/19 to increase Resident #14's Novolin 70/30 insulin to 22 units twice daily and to consider increasing
the twice daily dose by 2 units every 4 days until fasting glucose targets were achieved due to elevated
glucose level in March 2019 which persisted in May 2019. The recommendation did not indicate a physician
response or signature.
During an interview, on 11/15/19 at 11:38 a.m., the Consulting Pharmacist stated a recommendation
regarding Resident #14's Novolin 70/30 was made in March, May, and July. A repeat recommendation was
scheduled to occur in September but Resident #14's blood glucose levels were below 200 so it was no
longer a concern and a repeat recommendation was not made at that time.
On 11/15/19 at 11:38 a.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Services provided the Consulting Pharmacists'
July recommendation regarding Resident #14's Novolin 70/30 and stated she could not find one that had
been followed up with the physician.

1. Resident # 52 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] after a short stay at an acute care facility
with the primary diagnosis of Huntington's Disease. Other pertinent diagnoses included but were not limited
to chronic pain, migraine, major depressive disorder, unspecified convulsions, and anxiety disorder.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the minimum data set (MDS) dated [DATE] reflected that Resident # 52 was mildly impaired
with a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) of 12 and had no behaviors of delirium; mood was
documented as depressed and tired/little energy at a severity of 2, the behaviors section documented
rejection of care.
A review of the active physician orders dated 11/14/19 for Resident # 52 included the psychotropic
medications paroxetine HCl 40mg at bedtime for depression, carbamazepine 800mg twice daily for
seizures, doxepin 100mg at bedtime for anxiety, risperidone 3mg twice daily for Huntington's, quetiapine
50mg twice daily with meals for Huntington's and quetiapine 100mg at bedtime for insomnia. There was no
physician order for the monitoring of behaviors or for the monitoring of side effects related to psychotropic
medications. The physician orders also included the medication meclizine 12.5mg twice daily as needed for
dizziness with a start date of 01/27/17.
A review of the plan of care dated from the last care conference on 10/10/19 for Resident # 52 included a
focus on Psychotropic Drug Use, with a goal that stated: Resident will be prescribed the lowest effective
dose of medication. The approach to attain this goal was Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS)
every 3 months and Pharmacy consultant review monthly.
A review of the medication administration record (MAR) for the period of 10/01/19 to 11/14/19 revealed that
the psychotropic medications were administered as ordered and no documentation for the effectiveness,
side effects, or behavior monitoring was provided.
A review of the monthly medication review (MMR) for the month of March 2019 included the following
recommendation: Please attempt a gradual dose reduction (GDR) to Doxepin 75mg at bedtime, while
concurrently monitoring for the reemergence of target behaviors and/or withdrawal symptoms. An interview
on 11/14/19 with the pharmacy consultant revealed that although the primary physician agreed with the
recommendation, it was not implemented because the Primary Physician deferred to the Neurologist
treating Resident # 52's primary diagnosis, an order was written in response on 05/14/19 it read: No GDR
for Doxepin; continue with current dose. A nursing progress note dated 05/14/19 documented a GDR for
Doxepin was declined by psych services .would recommend discussion with neurologist prior to med
changes .follow up in July.
A review of the Physician progress note reflecting the service date of 10/23/19 for a Medication check
follow-up the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) wrote in the assessment of Resident # 52
Sad, disheveled, .stated feeling depressed ., and in the care plan recommendation: .continue to monitor for
change in mood and behavior. An interview with the Director of Nurses (DON) revealed that her expectation
was for the nurses to monitor the behaviors in the nurse progress notes. Review of the nurse progress
notes dated 08/01/19 to 10/31/19 revealed conflicting documentation such as on 10/30/19 at 10:19 PM No
complaint of behavior at this time despite Resident # 52 refusing care for a shower for the past two days,
and suffering multiple falls related to not wanting to follow instructions to call for assistance in order to
transfer to the bedside commode.

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, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to maintain drugs and biologicals in
accordance with accepted professional standards in 1 of 2 medication storage rooms.
Findings included:
On 11/14/19 at 12:42 p.m., an observation of the medication room located on the 1st floor was conducted.
On the far-left corner of the room, against the wall, was a blue toolbox. Staff M, a Licensed Practical Nurse,
identified the toolbox as an EDK (Emergency Drug Kit). There were no red or green tags on the outside of
the box. A label on the top of the box provided the following information: item description, units of measure,
quantity, product identification, expiration date, and tray description. The item description indicated that
antibiotics were stored inside. Staff M was able to freely open the box, and inside, several drawers of
antibiotics were observed. There was no pharmacy reconciliation slip inside to indicate if any medications
had been removed.
On the far-right corner of the room, on an open shelf, was a plastic see-through drawer, containing
antibiotic medications. Again, there were no red or green tags on the outside to indicate if the drawer had
been opened and contents removed. Several rows in the drawer were empty. There was no pharmacy
reconciliation slip in the drawer.
During an interview with Staff M on 11/14/19 at 1 p.m., Staff M stated Since there are no red or green tags
on either of these kits, and there is no pharmacy slip, there is no way to know if any of the medications
were removed from either box. It looks like they are all antibiotics. But I don't know when these boxes were
put in here, they weren't here earlier.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON)on 11/14/19 at 1:15 p.m., the DON confirmed that
neither of the boxes had green or red tags, nor did they have pharmacy reconciliation slips. The DON said I
don't know why these kits are not tagged. Pharmacy usually brings it with labels and tags. I don't know how
these got here. I have no idea if anyone took any medications from either box. I will have to recount them
all.
An interview was conducted with the Consultant pharmacist, Staff L, on 11/15/19 at 11 a.m. She said
Pharmacy packs the medication into the EDK toolbox, puts a label on the top, and places a green tag on it;
meaning that medications have not been removed from it yet. The clear drawer belongs inside the blue EDK
kit, and it should not be outside by itself on a shelf.
Review of the facility's policy titled Pharmacy Services, Role of the Provider Pharmacy, revised in April
2010, revealed: Policy Statement: The facility shall have a written agreement with a provider pharmacy to
provide regular and reliable pharmacy services to residents, including medications and supplies. Policy
Interpretation and Implementation: 3) The provider pharmacy shall agree to provide services that comply
with applicable facility policies and procedures; accepted professional standards of practice, laws and
regulations, including the following: b) Help the facility identify needed supplies and services related to
medications. I) Provide and maintain the facility's emergency medication supply. J) Deliver medications to
the facility and help the facility ensure that all deliveries are correct and proper documentation related to
delivery is provided.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
2. An observation was made on 11/12/19 at 11:58 a.m., of one of two metal tray carts on the secured unit
of the facility. The tray cart contained meal trays for the residents eating in their rooms. The meal trays
contained a covered plate and an uncovered tart-sized cheesecake. Photographic evidence obtained.
At 12:07 p.m. on 11/12/19, Staff Member J, CNA, confirmed the cheesecakes were not covered and stated
the kitchen sent them to the unit uncovered.
On 11/14/19 at 12:44 p.m., the Dietary Manager stated dessert on the meal trays are to be covered. He
stated even though the carts are covered, the food should also be covered and felt the kitchen staff was
trying to preserve the presentation.
Based on dining observations, interviews and record review the facility failed to serve food in a safe and
sanitary manner related to 1) food being prepared in close proximity to a hand hygiene sink/soap; 2)
uncovered desserts transported to unit and 3) lack of hand hygiene between residents in one of four dining
observations.
Findings included:
1. On 11/12/19 at 11:47 a.m., an observation of the afternoon meal service was conducted in the main
dining room on the second floor of the facility. Residents were seated at sixteen different tables around the
dining area. Six staff members where present in the dining room to assist with the afternoon meal. Soup,
salad and beverage service had begun in the dining room for the residents. A counter top area with
cabinetry was observed along the back area of the dining room which included a sink with a soap
dispenser attached to the wall behind the sink. A large black electric soup kettle was observed on the
counter, set up on the right side of the sink, and a large metal bowl of salad was observed on the counter,
set up on the left side of the sink. A staff member was observed dispensing salad from the large metal bowl
into small individual bowls for the residents. A staff member was observed dispensing soup from the
electric kettle into small individual bowls for the residents. During the preparation of soup and salad,
multiple staff members were observed accessing the sink area and using soap and water to wash their
hands. Water and soap were observed splashing around the sink area as staff members performed hand
hygiene in close proximity to the soup and salad that was being served to the residents.
Staff C, Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), was brought into the dining room to observe the service of salad
and soup to the residents at the request of the surveyor. Staff C, CDM stated that the food should not have
been set up on the counter area near the hand hygiene sink. Staff C, stated the soup and salad was sent
out to the dining room on a metal serving table and should have been served from there. Staff C, CDM
instructed the staff to move the soup and salad off of the counter and away from the hand washing sink for
service to the residents.
A review of the facility policy entitled Food Preparation and Service (revised October 2017) indicated the
following:
Policy Statement: Food and nutrition services employees shall prepare and serve food in a manner that
