Both side rails appeared not secured and loose fitting. Once the bed rails/enablers were handled, it was found they swayed approximately two to three inches from side to side. It was determined that they were not tightened enough next to the bed frame to ensure resident positioning safety. On 4/12/2022 at 10:00 a.m., 1:10 p.m. and 4/12/2022 at 7:40 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. Resident #64's room was observed, and he was noted in low bed and with both side rails up and in place.

Resident #63 has been observed to grab at them during several observed visits dated from 4/11/2022 through 4/14/2022. Review of Resident #64's medical revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the advance directives revealed he had a Power of Attorney in place.

Staff K, RN confirmed the presence of the unsecured gray pill. On 4/12/2022 at 3:00 p.m. an observation was conducted of the North Hall medication room with Staff J, RN. The refrigerator contained a tan lock box observed to not be permanently attached to the refrigerator. Staff J, RN opened the box and the EDK (Emergency Drug Kit) of insulin, also included two unopened vials of Lorazepam 1ml/2MG/ML (milliliter and milligram). On 4/12/2022 at 5:20 p.m. an observation was conducted of the East Hall medication room with Staff M, RN Unit Manager (UM). During the observation, the tan lock box was not permanently affixed to the refrigerator. The box was taken out of the refrigerator and opened. The box contained an unopened EDK with insulin, and two unopened vials of Lorazepam 1ml/2MG/ML inside the EDK. There were two punch cards of Dronabinol Capsules an one was observed with 10 capsules and the other had two capsules. On 04/13/2022 at 5:49 p.m., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted. He was informed of all the observations and indicated staff had brought him unsecured tablets. He stated, I expect if pills pop out of the punch cards, staff put it in the drug buster to dispose of them. The medication carts should be closed and locked once the nurse leaves the cart and walks away into resident rooms. I did not know the Lorazepam was in the EDK in with insulin, and that is how they (pharmacy) are sending the medication to use. The DON further indicated the medications are in locked boxes but did not know they were not permanently affixed to the refrigerator. On 4/13/2022 at 4:41 p.m. a telephone interview was conducted with Pharmacy Consultant. He stated, No medications should be left at bedside unless there is a physician order to do so, and an order to self-administer those medications; as for loose pills in the medications carts, the staff need to look out for that, and they need to make sure they look out for locking their medication carts. Schedule IV medications should be permanently affixed to the refrigerator, and the policy is currently under review with the facility. We are looking to move the Lorazepam medication into the Pyxis unit.

F 0925 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some walls and table positioned below and at the window and in between the two glass sliding doors. Residents had been observed in this room and the room was used for resident activities, family visitation and some dining. On 4/14/2022 at 9:15 a.m. Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff B, CNA and Staff C, CNA all confirmed the 300 hall/unit has been observed with small flying insects at times. They all indicated they report any insect sightings by two ways. One way was to document in their electronic record, which turns into a maintenance work order, and the other way was to physically speak to the Unit Manager and the Maintenance Director. Staff A, B, and C further confirmed the pest control company treats the facility about once a month. They stated they felt the small flying insects and the ants always come back. An interview at this time with Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN) revealed she does notice little flying insects while seated at the nurses' station and has seen some out in the hallways as well. She had not spoken with maintenance about it and did not know when the last time pest control was out to treat the inside of the building. On 4/14/2022 at 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. interviews with random residents (#24, #41, #85, #4, #96, and #27) all revealed they routinely see various types of bugs in the hallways and other spaces. They also confirmed they see bugs in their rooms as well. They continually report this to nursing staff and see pest control come out to treat. However, they felt the pest control company does not fix the problem, because they see the bugs after the pest control company treats the building. On 4/14/2022 at 12:30 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Maintenance Director were interviewed related to the facility's pest control program. The Maintenance Director revealed the facility has a contract with a pest control company and they come out routinely; about once a month. However, he explained they have additional calls for them to come out and treat outbreaks of various pests, more than monthly. The Maintenance Director confirmed the building was older and with the placement of the building within a wooded area, they are always fighting to keep bugs, pests and insects out from the inside of the building. The Maintenance Director revealed floor staff are to do Angel rounds in rooms and spaces on a daily basis and if they see any pests, they are to report it to him through a work order system, and then he can work on treating himself or calling the pest company to make visits to treat. The Maintenance Director also revealed he is short on maintenance workers and he is currently trying to hire staff for his department. The Maintenance Director and NHA both confirmed they were not aware of the ants and small flying insects on the 300 unit. Review of the pest control log revealed the pest control company visited the facility to treat for ants, cockroaches, and flies and touch up. The dates of the visits included 4/12/2022, 3/28/2022, 3/15/2022, 2/28/2022, 2/18/2022, 2/14/2022, 1/26/2022, 1/17/2022, and 1/7/2022. 3.

During an interview on 04/11/22 at 12:37 p.m. Resident #57 indicated there are ants and roaches in the facility, and stated, Everyone knows, I tell everyone, no one does anything about it, I cover everything and still ants, and roaches.
