F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few for the incident, I found out after I returned that Tuesday. That was the 8th [10/8/2024]. With a blood sugar that high the nurse should have notified the doctor that he [Resident #1] was refusing his insulin and why he was refusing it. The nurse in charge of his care was not acting within the professional standards of practice for treating hyperglycemia in a type 1 diabetic. He [Staff A, LPN] should have notified the doctor immediately when he [Resident #1] refused his insulin. He [Staff A, LPN] did not transcribe the orders, and he should have stayed and transcribed the orders he got. The nurse got the high blood sugar and spoke to someone. I don't know who he spoke with, I don't know their name, you will have to ask [the Administrator's name] and got new orders. I don't know if or what he told the nurse that came on in the day shift. I don't know what the day shift nurse did after that. This shouldn't have happened; this should have been avoided. The nurse that admitted him should have read everything when it comes to the discharge summary, and they would have seen all the other orders instead of just the one piece of paper. The blood sugar should have been rechecked. It was not rechecked the rest of the day. I would consider this neglect. I don't know why the abuse and neglect policies were not followed. We should have completed a RCA [root cause analysis] and we should have implemented the abuse policy and procedure back on the 7th [10/7/2024]. During a telephone interview on 11/13/2024 at 11:35 AM, the OCMD stated, I did receive a call related to this resident [Resident #1]. The Nurse called me on the afterhours line, and I was told of the residents' glucose and I actually decided to double the insulin, the Lantus, and increase it to 15 Units twice a day and to add SSIC [Sliding Scale Insulin Coverage] with insulin coverage AC [before meals] and HS [at bedtime]. I would say that the professional standard of practice would be to have the blood glucose rechecked after 30 minutes to one hour after high readings to accurately assess if the patient was stabilizing versus the patient needing further emergency treatment. The staff did not adhere to a professional standard of practice when they did not notify us that he was refusing treatment. I would expect staff to inform us that a patient had refused insulin to determine the next steps we needed to do, either increase medications or we send to the hospital. I would call this unintentional neglect. They did not treat this according to professional standards of practice. I should have been notified that the patient was refusing his insulin. I was not called about this again after I gave the orders to them. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:18 PM, the Administrator stated, I found out about the situation when I returned to work. I was finally able to speak with the daughter on 10/20/2024. I didn't file a report on 10/7/2024 because we saw on the chart that they only had orders for Lantus, we didn't think it was an issue until he started refusing the medication. The report should have been done, that is the best practice. [Staff A, LPN's name] got the order. It was not placed in [name of the electronic medical record software]. We investigated and did a QAPI [Quality Assurance and Process Improvement] Ad hoc [from Latin meaning for this] meeting on 10/7/2024. I talked to [Staff B's name], she said that the resident refused medications and [Staff A's name] spoke to the nurse practitioner and got orders. The nurse forgot to transcribe the orders into [name of the electronic medical record software]. There was no documentation in [name of the electronic medical record software]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:43 PM, Staff B, LPN, stated, I did take care of this resident [Resident #1]. He did not refuse care when I took care of him. I was told by the night nurse [Staff A, LPN] that his blood sugar was high. I don't remember him telling me what the blood sugar was, he just said it was high. He did not refuse care that day. I did not try to get another accucheck, he didn't have orders to recheck his blood sugar. I didn't have orders to recheck the blood sugar. I wasn't told how high the blood sugar was. I did not ask how high it was. I was in the front [area of building] charting and apparently, he called 911. I was called and asked if he needed (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105460 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 42 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105460 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety help, I told them [EMS] no, I would check on him. I went to the room, and he said, You are trying to kill me. I asked him why and he told me that 'his blood sugar, his insulin was wrong, and he needed to get short acting insulin, and we weren't ordering it for him. I told him that he had orders for long-acting insulin and that he refused to take it. He told me Yes, I do, but because I need short acting insulin I need to get out of here and you all are trying to kill me. This could have been avoided, I should have rechecked his blood sugar, I don't know why I didn't. Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 9:18 AM, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) stated, I believe that situation happened over the weekend. I wasn't the on-call provider, but it was discussed Monday. The protocol they follow is normally blood sugar greater than 400 they notify their provider and then we give standard orders. We give them extra orders. Like I said, I wasn't on call that weekend but when it was reviewed come Monday, that night the nurse didn't notify the on-call provider, and they documented that they did. They did come back with orders on that and then they had hand off [change of] shift. I would have expected potentially that since it was a night shift going into day shift, because this was a morning blood sugar, if I do recall correctly. As well, that morning at breakfast time the patients now eating so that sugar should probably be rechecked 90 minutes after they eat to see how they process that meal and what their new sugar is going to be if they weren't getting that coverage and then reaching back out to the provider and letting them know, 'hey this person's blood sugar is still reading this number' and just keep reaching out to the provider until they get what they need. A resident has the risk of going into Diabetic Ketoacidosis if not properly monitored and treated for high blood sugar. During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:20 AM, the Medical Director stated, I remember a few things because I know the facility felt bad about the whole thing, you know while this was all happening. So, they had called me about it I think this happened over the weekend to my understanding. I know that there was also some frustration on the patient end I think they refused some glucose checks or refused insulin and then at that point I think they called 911. My expectations would be to 100% ensure that there's glucose monitoring, accuchecks, and of course a sliding scale. I mean every single diabetic in the building should be on a sliding scale. I think it was [the OCMD's name] that was notified. I think they went up on the long acting and they were just assuming that the patient was on a sliding scale. 100% if you're in the five hundreds [blood glucose level] and they're on long acting they need to be on a sliding scale, likely in the highest level of the sliding scale you know from there we could go up on the long acting and ensure there's proper glucose monitoring. I would probably give a onetime dose of a short acting and have them recheck sugars in an hour so I'm not sure what took place in this case or how long after that reading the patient called 911. I would want to be notified that they [resident] were refusing [medications]. I don't know if that call was ever made, after the fact, to let the doctor know that he's refusing it. If any doctor's increasing long-acting insulin, they're already assuming that the short acting is on the MAR. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 7:10 AM, the DON stated, I was not here the day that this was found, that they spoke with his daughter, the Unit Manager spoke to her. They did know the concerns with not providing insulin or ADL [Activities of Daily Living] care. We were still investigating it; I can't tell you why we didn't investigate more. I knew his blood sugar was 552. I was given that information, but I thought it was that [Staff A's name] didn't transcribe orders. I guess we did not do a thorough investigation, I can't find any more than what was done initially and in the town hall meeting. I see that there were more than 12 hours that the resident was still here after that blood sugar of 552. There are no other accuchecks done after that. It is my expectation that staff provide a detailed report when going off their shift.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety have told [Staff B's name] what the blood sugar was, and he [Staff A, LPN] should have documented his information in the notes. [Staff A's name] should have asked what high meant if that is what he told her. She should have followed up on that. I would expect that she called the doctor again and get further orders. She [Staff B] had the opportunity to call the doctor when he called 911 to get further orders. All the information should have been put in a progress note from both nurses. I would consider this neglect for both nurses. I don't know why the staff weren't suspended; I can't give you a reason. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:10 PM, the Administrator stated, I can't say that I thought I needed to complete a federal report. I was told by [Staff D's name] that she [Resident #1's daughter] was upset and wanted to talk to us, but I wasn't able to connect with her. We attempted multiple times, but we couldn't reach her and left messages. When we got [in touch with] her is when I found out about her concerns with care related to the insulin and with being on the bedpan too long. We did do a QAPI on 10/7 related to the insulin. I just thought it was because he refused to take his insulin. I guess we did not investigate fully until after I spoke to his daughter. We thought the problem was that the nurse on admission got the right orders and there weren't accuchecks ordered. He refused this medication, and I spoke to [Staff B's name], LPN, and she told me that he [Resident #1] didn't talk to her at all about his insulin during the day before he called 911. Then they realized that he had orders that were not transcribed from the night nurse when he came on shift. I did not talk to him [Staff A, LPN] the DON did. I did not implement the abuse and neglect policies because he refused his medication. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why. We should have done more investigation. We should have done a QAPI when we realized that his blood sugar was so high, I wasn't aware of everything. We only did the initial QAPI, we didn't do any others, I think we should have done it, I can't tell you why we didn't. We did not suspend the nurses; it is our policy to suspend staff pending the results of an investigation. We initially thought it happened because the resident refused his insulin, not for neglect. We should follow our abuse and neglect policies and procedures. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why. Review of the policy and procedure titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation last revision date of 11/16/2022, last approval date of 4/23/2024 read, Policy: It is inherent in the nature and dignity of each resident at the center that he/she be afforded basic human rights, including the right to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and/or misappropriation of property.

F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I was not here for the incident, I found out after I returned that Tuesday. That was the 8th [10/8/2024]. With a blood sugar that high the nurse should have notified the doctor that he [Resident #1] was refusing his insulin and why he was refusing it. The nurse in charge of his care was not acting within the professional standards of practice for treating hyperglycemia in a type 1 diabetic. He [Staff A, LPN] should have notified the doctor immediately when he [Resident #1] refused his insulin. He [Staff A, LPN] did not transcribe the orders, and he should have stayed and transcribed the orders he got. The nurse got the high blood sugar and spoke to someone. I don't know who he spoke with, I don't know their name, you will have to ask [the Administrator's name] and got new orders. I don't know if or what he told the nurse that came on in the day shift. I don't know what the day shift nurse did after that. This shouldn't have happened; this should have been avoided. The nurse that admitted him should have read everything when it comes to the discharge summary, and they would have seen all the other orders instead of just the one piece of paper. The blood sugar should have been rechecked. It was not rechecked the rest of the day. I would consider this neglect. I don't know why the abuse and neglect policies were not followed. We should have completed a RCA [root cause analysis] and we should have implemented the abuse policy and procedure back on the 7th [10/7/2024]. During a telephone interview on 11/13/2024 at 11:35 AM, the OCMD stated, I did receive a call related to this resident [Resident #1]. The Nurse called me on the afterhours line, and I was told of the residents' glucose and I actually decided to double the insulin, the Lantus, and increase it to 15 Units twice a day and to add SSIC [Sliding Scale Insulin Coverage] with insulin coverage AC [before meals] and HS [at bedtime]. I would say that the professional standard of practice would be to have the blood glucose rechecked after 30 minutes to one hour after high readings to accurately assess if the patient was stabilizing versus the patient needing further emergency treatment. The staff did not adhere to a professional standard of practice when they did not notify us that he was refusing treatment. I would expect staff to inform us that a patient had refused insulin to determine the next steps we needed to do, either increase medications or we send to the hospital. I would call this unintentional neglect. They did not treat this according to professional standards of practice. I should have been notified that the patient was refusing his insulin. I was not called about this again after I gave the orders to them. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 2:49 PM, Staff D, LPN, Unit Manager, stated, I found out when his daughter called me, she called on that Monday (October 7th). She was upset about him not getting his insulin and about what happened. This was after he left. She said she was a nurse and couldn't understand how we could make a mistake like this. She was very upset about it. She was upset that he was not given his proper insulin and that he was now in Diabetic ketoacidosis. I told [the Administrator's name]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:18 PM, the Administrator stated, I found out about the situation when I returned to work. I was finally able to speak with the daughter on 10/20/2024. I didn't file a report on 10/7/2024 because we saw on the chart that they only had orders for Lantus, we didn't think it was an issue until he started refusing the medication. The report should have been done, that is the best practice. [Staff A, LPN's name] got the order. It was not placed in [name of the electronic medical record software]. We investigated and did a QAPI [Quality Assurance and Process Improvement] Ad hoc [from Latin meaning for this] meeting on 10/7/2024. I talked to [Staff B's name], she said that the resident refused medications and [Staff A's name] spoke to the nurse practitioner and got orders. The nurse forgot to transcribe the orders into [name of the electronic medical record software]. There was no documentation in [name of the electronic medical record software].

F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:43 PM, Staff B, LPN, stated, I did take care of this resident [Resident #1]. He did not refuse care when I took care of him. I was told by the night nurse [Staff A, LPN] that his blood sugar was high. I don't remember him telling me what the blood sugar was, he just said it was high. He did not refuse care that day. I did not try to get another accucheck, he didn't have orders to recheck his blood sugar. I didn't have orders to recheck the blood sugar. I wasn't told how high the blood sugar was. I did not ask how high it was. I was in the front [area of building] charting and apparently, he called 911. I was called and asked if he needed help, I told them [EMS] no, I would check on him. I went to the room, and he said, You are trying to kill me. I asked him why and he told me that 'his blood sugar, his insulin was wrong, and he needed to get short acting insulin, and we weren't ordering it for him. I told him that he had orders for long-acting insulin and that he refused to take it. He told me Yes, I do, but because I need short acting insulin I need to get out of here and you all are trying to kill me. This could have been avoided, I should have rechecked his blood sugar, I don't know why I didn't. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 7:10 AM, the DON stated, I was not here the day that this was found, that they spoke with his daughter, the Unit Manager spoke to her. They did know the concerns with not providing insulin or ADL [Activities of Daily Living] care. We were still investigating it; I can't tell you why we didn't investigate more. I knew his blood sugar was 552. I was given that information, but I thought it was that [Staff A's Name] didn't transcribe orders. I guess we did not do a thorough investigation, I can't find any more than what was done initially and in the town hall meeting. I see that there were more than 12 hours that the resident was still here after that blood sugar of 552. No, there are no other accuchecks done after that. It is my expectation that staff provide a detailed report when going off their shift. The nurse [Staff A, LPN] should have told [Staff B's name] what the blood sugar was, and he [Staff A, LPN] should have documented his information in the notes. [Staff A's name] should have asked what high meant if that is what he told her. She should have followed up on that. I would expect that she called the doctor again and get further orders. She [Staff B] had the opportunity to call the doctor when he called 911 to get further orders. All the information should have been put in a progress note from both nurses. I would consider this neglect for both nurses. I don't know why the staff weren't suspended; I can't give you a reason. We should have followed our policies on abuse. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:10 PM, the Administrator stated, I can't say that I thought I needed to complete a federal report. I was told by [Staff D's name] that she [Resident #1's daughter] was upset and wanted to talk to us, but I wasn't able to connect with her. We attempted multiple times, but we couldn't reach her and left messages. When we got [in touch with] her is when I found out about her concerns with care related to the insulin and with being on the bedpan too long. We did do a QAPI on 10/7 related to the insulin. I just thought it was because he refused to take his insulin. I guess we did not investigate fully until after I spoke to his daughter. We thought the problem was that the nurse on admission got the right orders and there weren't accuchecks ordered. He refused this medication, and I spoke to [Staff B's name] and she told me that he [Resident #1] didn't talk to her at all about his insulin during the day before he called 911. Then they realized that he had orders that were not transcribed from the night nurse when he came on shift. I did not talk to him [Staff A, LPN], the DON did. I did not implement the abuse and neglect policies because he refused his medication. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why. We should have done more investigation. We should have done a QAPI when we realized that his blood sugar was so high, I wasn't aware of everything. We only did the initial QAPI, we didn't do any others, I think we should have done it, I can't tell you why we didn't. We did not suspend the nurses; it is our policy to suspend staff (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105460 If continuation sheet Page 13 of 42 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105460 B.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Based on interview, record review, and review of policy and procedures, the facility failed to ensure residents who required insulin administration received treatment in accordance with professional standards of practice by failing to notify and immediately consult with the resident's physician when a resident suffered elevated blood glucose levels. On 10/6/2024 at 6:00 AM, Resident #1 had a blood sugar value of 552 and the on-call provider was notified of the value and the resident stated he was refusing medications until he received the proper insulin. Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse, (LPN), did not communicate to Staff B, LPN or transcribe the new orders into the medical record for the increase in insulin and the addition of sliding scale insulin coverage. Staff B, LPN, assumed care of Resident #1 at 7:00 AM on 10/6/2024 and did not follow up with the provider. Staff B, LPN, did not reassess Resident #1's blood glucose or address the need for any orders. Resident #1 called 911 at approximately 6:30 PM, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) contacted the facility, spoke with Staff B, LPN, who instructed EMS the resident did not need help. Again at 11:15 PM, Resident #1 called 911 and was subsequently transferred to the hospital and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Residents Affected - Few Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) develops when the body can't make enough insulin, a hormone that helps sugar enter cells for energy. Instead, fat is broken down for energy. This can cause acids called ketones to build up in the blood and collect in the urine. The risk is highest in people who have type 1 diabetes and those who often miss insulin doses. DKA symptoms often start quickly, sometimes within a day. A person may get very thirsty, urinate often, vomit or have stomach pain. Symptoms also can include tiredness or weakness, confusion, shortness of breath, or fruity breath. Treatment often involves going to a hospital to receive fluids, insulin and electrolytes through a vein. Without treatment, diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to loss of consciousness and death. (Mayo Clinic/Mayoclinic.org) The facility's failure to implement the policy and procedure for change of condition and physician notification and failure to ensure residents who required insulin administration received treatment in accordance with professional standards of practice led to a determination of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of isolated (J). The Nursing Home Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on November 18, 2024, at 2:50 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on October 6, 2024, and was removed on site on November 18, 2024. Findings include: Review of the admission Record for Resident #1 documented an admission date of 10/3/2024 with diagnoses that include diabetes mellitus type 1, malignant neoplasm of oropharynx (cancer), unspecified dysphagia (unable to swallow), oropharyngeal phase, type 1 diabetes mellitus without complications, chronic pulmonary embolism (a blockage in a lung artery caused by a blood clot that has traveled from elsewhere in the body), chronic kidney disease, unspecified, other acute osteomyelitis (bone infection), unspecified site, acquired absence of left leg (below knee), essential primary hypertension (high blood pressure), gastrostomy status (a flexible tube that's surgically inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It allows for the delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medication directly into the stomach), hyperlipidemia, unspecified (an abnormally high concentration of fats or lipids in the blood), peripheral vascular disease, unspecified (blood vessels narrow or become blocked, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105460 If continuation sheet Page 16 of 42 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105460 B.

He states that at the outside rehab were not following his strict insulin regimen trying to give a different type of insulin. Per EMS [Emergency Medical Services] he was declining the insulin the outside rehab was trying to give him. He was recently admitted on 10/3 for pneumonia and was discharged to rehab NPO [nothing by mouth] with swallow study pending (gastrostomy tube in place). BASIC METABOLIC PANEL - Abnormal; Notable for the following components: Glucose 745, Anion Gap 34. Medical Evaluation Initiated: Attestation: The patient is critical due to DKA [Diabetic Ketoacidosis]. admitted to the ICU [Intensive Care Unit]. Review of the hospital history and physical for Resident #1 dated 10/7/2024 read, HPI [history of presenting illness]: [Resident #1's name] is an 81 y.o. male presented with hyperglycemia at rehab admitted for DKA. PMH relevant for T1DM (Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus), HTN, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, peripheral vascular disease, DVT (04/2022) and below the knee amputation secondary to osteomyelitis. Patient reports lack of compliance with his long-term insulin regimen for DM1 [Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus] at his rehab facility. He reports they weren't giving me the right insulin and explains some of the doses of his regimen were being missed. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I was not here for the incident, I found out after I returned that Tuesday. That was the 8th [10/8/2024]. With a blood sugar that high the nurse should have notified the doctor that he [Resident #1] was refusing his insulin and why he was refusing it. The nurse in charge of his care was not acting within the professional standards of practice for treating hyperglycemia in a type 1 diabetic. He [Staff A, LPN] should have notified the doctor immediately when he [Resident #1] refused his insulin. He [Staff A, LPN] did not transcribe the orders, and he should have stayed and transcribed the orders he got. The nurse got the high blood sugar and spoke to someone. I don't know who he spoke with, I don't know their name, you will have to ask [the Administrator's name] and got new orders. I don't know if or what he told the nurse that came on in the day shift. I don't know what the day shift nurse did after that. This shouldn't have happened; this should have been avoided. The nurse that admitted him should have read everything when it comes to the discharge summary, and they would have seen all the other orders instead of just the one piece of paper. The blood sugar should have been rechecked. It was not rechecked the rest of the day. I would consider this neglect. I don't know why the abuse and neglect policies were not followed. We should have completed a RCA [root cause analysis] and we should have implemented the abuse policy and procedure back on the 7th [10/7/2024].

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview on 11/13/2024 at 11:35 AM, the OCMD stated, I did receive a call related to this resident [Resident #1]. The Nurse called me on the afterhours line, and I was told of the residents' glucose and I actually decided to double the insulin, the Lantus, and increase it to 15 Units twice a day and to add SSIC [Sliding Scale Insulin Coverage] with insulin coverage AC [before meals] and HS [at bedtime]. I would say that the professional standard of practice would be to have the blood glucose rechecked after 30 minutes to one hour after high readings to accurately assess if the patient was stabilizing versus the patient needing further emergency treatment. The staff did not adhere to a professional standard of practice when they did not notify us that he was refusing treatment. I would expect staff to inform us that a patient had refused insulin to determine the next steps we needed to do, either increase medications or we send to the hospital. I would call this unintentional neglect. They did not treat this according to professional standards of practice. I should have been notified that the patient was refusing his insulin. I was not called about this again after I gave the orders to them. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 2:28 PM, Staff E, LPN, Wound Care Nurse, stated, The nurse that admitted this resident did not identify it, that more than Lantus should have been ordered for him. The night nurse did get the high blood sugar and called the nurse practitioner and got orders. I don't know if he told the day nurse, I don't know. The hospital MAR conflicts with the discharge summary. He [Staff A, LPN] didn't transcribe the orders he got. He should have. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 2:49 PM, Staff D, LPN, Unit Manager, stated, I found out [about incident] when his daughter called me, she called on that Monday [10/7/2024]. She was upset about him not getting his insulin and about what happened, this was after he went to the hospital. She said she was a nurse and couldn't understand how we could make a mistake like this. She was very upset about it. She was upset that he was not given his proper insulin and that he was now in Diabetic ketoacidosis. I told [the Administrator's name]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:18 PM, the Administrator stated, I found out about the situation when I returned to work. I was finally able to speak with the daughter on 10/20/2024. I didn't file a report on 10/7/2024 because we saw on the chart that they only had orders for Lantus, we didn't think it was an issue until he started refusing the medication. The report should have been done, that is the best practice. [Staff A, LPN's name] got the order. It was not placed in [name of the electronic medical record software]. We investigated and did a QAPI [Quality Assurance and Process Improvement] Ad hoc [from Latin meaning for this] meeting on 10/7/2024. I talked to [Staff B's name], she said that the resident refused medications and [Staff A's name] spoke to the nurse practitioner and got orders. The nurse forgot to transcribe the orders into [name of the electronic medical record software]. There was no documentation in [name of the electronic medical record software]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:43 PM, Staff B, LPN, stated, I did take care of this resident [Resident #1]. He did not refuse care when I took care of him. I was told by the night nurse [Staff A, LPN] that his blood sugar was high. I don't remember him telling me what the blood sugar was, he just said it was high. He did not refuse care that day. I did not try to get another accucheck, he didn't have orders to recheck his blood sugar. I didn't have orders to recheck the blood sugar. I wasn't told how high the blood sugar was. I did not ask how high it was. I was in the front [area of building] charting and apparently, he called 911. I was called and asked if he needed help, I told them [EMS] no, I would check on him. I went to the room, and he said, You are trying to kill me. I asked him why and he told me that 'his blood sugar, his insulin was wrong, and he needed to get short acting insulin, and we weren't ordering it for him.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few I need to get out of here and you all are trying to kill me. This could have been avoided, I should have rechecked his blood sugar, I don't know why I didn't. During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 9:18 AM, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) stated, I believe that situation happened over the weekend. I wasn't the on-call provider, but it was discussed Monday. The protocol they follow is normally blood sugar greater than 400 they notify their provider and then we give standard orders. We give them extra orders. Like I said, I wasn't on call that weekend but when it was reviewed come Monday, that night the nurse didn't notify the on-call provider, and they documented that they did. They did come back with orders on that and then they had hand off [change of] shift. I would have expected potentially that since it was a night shift going into day shift, because this was a morning blood sugar, if I do recall correctly. As well, that morning at breakfast time the patients now eating so that sugar should probably be rechecked 90 minutes after they eat to see how they process that meal and what their new sugar is going to be if they weren't getting that coverage and then reaching back out to the provider and letting them know, 'hey this person's blood sugar is still reading this number' and just keep reaching out to the provider until they get what they need. A resident has the risk of going into Diabetic Ketoacidosis if not properly monitored and treated for high blood sugar. During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:20 AM, the Medical Director stated, I remember a few things because I know the facility felt bad about the whole thing, you know while this was all happening. So, they had called me about it I think this happened over the weekend to my understanding. I know that there was also some frustration on the patient end I think they refused some glucose checks or refused insulin and then at that point I think they called 911. My expectations would be to 100% ensure that there's glucose monitoring, accuchecks, and of course a sliding scale. I mean every single diabetic in the building should be on a sliding scale. I think it was [the OCMD's name] that was notified. I think they went up on the long acting and they were just assuming that the patient was on a sliding scale. 100% if you're in the five hundreds [blood glucose level] and they're on long acting they need to be on a sliding scale, likely in the highest level of the sliding scale you know from there we could go up on the long acting and ensure there's proper glucose monitoring. I would probably give a onetime dose of a short acting and have them recheck sugars in an hour so I'm not sure what took place in this case or how long after that reading the patient called 911. I would want to be notified that they [resident] were refusing [medications]. I don't know if that call was ever made, after the fact, to let the doctor know that he's refusing it. If any doctor's increasing long-acting insulin, they're already assuming that the short acting is on the MAR. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 7:10 AM, the DON stated, I was not here the day that this was found, that they spoke with his daughter, the Unit Manager spoke to her. They did know the concerns with not providing insulin or ADL [Activities of Daily Living] care. We were still investigating it; I can't tell you why we didn't investigate more. I knew his blood sugar was 552. I was given that information, but I thought it was that [Staff A's name] didn't transcribe orders. I guess we did not do a thorough investigation, I can't find any more than what was done initially and in the town hall meeting. I see that there were more than 12 hours that the resident was still here after that blood sugar of 552. There are no other accuchecks done after that. It is my expectation that staff provide a detailed report when going off their shift. The nurse [Staff A, LPN] should have told [Staff B's name] what the blood sugar was, and he [Staff A, LPN] should have documented his information in the notes. [Staff A's name] should have asked what high meant if that is what he told her. She should have followed up on that. I would expect that she called the doctor again and get further orders. She [Staff B] had the opportunity to call the doctor when he called 911 to get further orders.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Based on interview, record review, and review of policies and procedures, the facility administration failed to administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain and maintain the highest practicable physical wellbeing of each resident by failing to implement policy and procedures for medical neglect and resident change of condition. On 10/6/2024 at 6:00 AM, Resident #1 had a blood sugar value of 552 and the on-call provider was notified of the value and the resident stated he was refusing medications until he received the proper insulin. Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse, (LPN), did not communicate to Staff B, LPN or transcribe the new orders into the medical record for the increase in insulin and the addition of sliding scale insulin coverage. Staff B, LPN, assumed care of Resident #1 at 7:00 AM on 10/6/2024 and did not follow up with the provider. Staff B, LPN, did not reassess Resident #1's blood glucose or address the need for any orders. Resident #1 called 911 at approximately 6:30 PM, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) contacted the facility, spoke with Staff B, LPN, who instructed EMS the resident did not need help. Again at 11:15 PM, Resident #1 called 911 and was subsequently transferred to the hospital and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

He reports they weren't giving me the right insulin and explains some of the doses of his regimen were being missed. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I was not here for the incident, I found out after I returned that Tuesday. That was the 8th [10/8/2024]. With a blood sugar that high the nurse should have notified the doctor that he [Resident #1] was refusing his insulin and why he was refusing it. The nurse in charge of his care was not acting within the professional standards of practice for treating hyperglycemia in a type 1 diabetic. He [Staff A, LPN] should have notified the doctor immediately when he [Resident #1] refused his insulin. He [Staff A, LPN] did not transcribe the orders, and he should have stayed and transcribed the orders he got. The nurse got the high blood sugar and spoke to someone. I don't know who he spoke with, I don't know their name, you will have to ask [the Administrator's name] and got new orders. I don't know if or what he told the nurse that came on in the day shift. I don't know what the day shift nurse did after that. This shouldn't have happened; this should have been avoided. The nurse that admitted him should have read everything when it comes to the discharge summary, and they would have seen all the other orders instead of just the one piece of paper. The blood sugar should have been rechecked. It was not rechecked the rest of the day. I would consider this neglect. I don't know why the abuse and neglect policies were not followed. We should have completed a RCA [root cause analysis] and we should have implemented the abuse policy and procedure back on the 7th [10/7/2024]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 2:49 PM, Staff D, LPN, Unit Manager, stated, I found out [about incident] when his daughter called me, she called on that Monday [10/7/2024]. She was upset about him not getting his insulin and about what happened, this was after he went to the hospital. She said she was a nurse and couldn't understand how we could make a mistake like this. She was very upset about it. She was upset that he was not given his proper insulin and that he was now in Diabetic ketoacidosis. I told [The Administrator's name].

I didn't file a report on 10/7/2024 because we saw on the chart that they only had orders for Lantus, we didn't think it was an issue until he started refusing the medication.

He did not refuse care when I took care of him. I was told by the night nurse [Staff A, LPN] that his blood sugar was high. I don't remember him telling me what the blood sugar was, he just said it was high. He did not refuse care that day. I did not try to get another accucheck, he didn't have orders to recheck his blood sugar. I didn't have orders to recheck the blood sugar. I wasn't told how high the blood sugar was. I did not ask how high it was. I was in the front [area of building] charting and apparently, he called 911. I was called and asked if he needed help, I told them [EMS] no, I would check on him. I went to the room, and he said, You are trying to kill me. I asked him why and he told me that 'his blood sugar, his insulin was wrong, and he needed to get short acting insulin, and we weren't ordering it for him. I told him that he had orders for long-acting insulin and that he refused to take it. He told me Yes, I do, but because I need short acting insulin I need to get out of here and you all are trying to kill me. This could have been avoided, I should have rechecked his blood sugar, I don't know why I didn't. Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:20 AM, the Medical Director stated, I remember a few things because I know the facility felt bad about the whole thing, you know while this was all happening. So, they had called me about it I think this happened over the weekend to my understanding. I know that there was also some frustration on the patient end I think they refused some glucose checks or refused insulin and then at that point I think they called 911. My expectations would be to 100% ensure that there's glucose monitoring, accuchecks, and of course a sliding scale. I mean every single diabetic in the building should be on a sliding scale. I think it was [the OCMD's name] that was notified. I think they went up on the long acting and they were just assuming that the patient was on a sliding scale. 100% if you're in the five hundreds [blood glucose level] and they're on long acting they need to be on a sliding scale, likely in the highest level of the sliding scale you know from there we could go up on the long acting and ensure there's proper glucose monitoring. I would probably give a onetime dose of a short acting and have them recheck sugars in an hour so I'm not sure what took place in this case or how long after that reading the patient called 911. I would want to be notified that they [resident] were refusing [medications]. I don't know if that call was ever made, after the fact, to let the doctor know that he's refusing it. If any doctor's increasing long-acting insulin, they're already assuming that the short acting is on the MAR. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 7:10 AM, the DON stated, I was not here the day that this was found, that they spoke with his daughter, the Unit Manager spoke to her. They did know the concerns with not providing insulin or ADL [Activities of Daily Living] care. We were still investigating it; I can't tell you why we didn't investigate more. I knew his blood sugar was 552. I was given that information, but I thought it was that [Staff A's name] didn't transcribe orders. I guess we did not do a thorough investigation, I can't find any more than what was done initially and in the town hall meeting. I see that there were more than 12 hours that the resident was still here after that blood sugar of 552. There are no other accuchecks done after that. It is my expectation that staff provide a detailed report when going off their shift. The nurse [Staff A, LPN] should have told [Staff B's name] what the blood sugar was, and he [Staff A, LPN] should have documented his information in the notes. [Staff A's name] should have asked what high meant if that is what he told her. She should have followed up on that. I would expect that she called the doctor again and get further orders. She [Staff B] had the opportunity to call the doctor when he called 911 to get further orders. All the information should have been put in a progress note from both nurses. I would consider this neglect for both nurses.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:10 PM, the Administrator stated, I can't say that I thought I needed to complete a federal report. I was told by [Staff D's name] that she [Resident #1's daughter] was upset and wanted to talk to us, but I wasn't able to connect with her. We attempted multiple times, but we couldn't reach her and left messages. When we got [in touch with] her is when I found out about her concerns with care related to the insulin and with being on the bedpan too long. We did do a QAPI on 10/7 related to the insulin. I just thought it was because he refused to take his insulin. I guess we did not investigate fully until after I spoke to his daughter. We thought the problem was that the nurse on admission got the right orders and there weren't accuchecks ordered. He refused this medication, and I spoke to [Staff B's name], LPN, and she told me that he [Resident #1] didn't talk to her at all about his insulin during the day before he called 911. Then they realized that he had orders that were not transcribed from the night nurse when he came on shift. I did not talk to him [Staff A, LPN] the DON did. I did not implement the abuse and neglect policies because he refused his medication. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why. We should have done more investigation. We should have done a QAPI when we realized that his blood sugar was so high, I wasn't aware of everything. We only did the initial QAPI, we didn't do any others, I think we should have done it, I can't tell you why we didn't. We did not suspend the nurses; it is our policy to suspend staff pending the results of an investigation. We initially thought it happened because the resident refused his insulin, not for neglect. We should follow our abuse and neglect policies and procedures. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why.

Findings include: Review of the admission Record for Resident #1 documented an admission date of 10/3/2024 with diagnoses that include diabetes mellitus type 1, malignant neoplasm of oropharynx (cancer), unspecified dysphagia (unable to swallow), oropharyngeal phase, type 1 diabetes mellitus without complications, chronic pulmonary embolism (a blockage in a lung artery caused by a blood clot that has traveled from elsewhere in the body), chronic kidney disease, unspecified, other acute osteomyelitis (bone infection), unspecified site, acquired absence of left leg (below knee), essential primary hypertension (high blood pressure), gastrostomy status (a flexible tube that's surgically inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It allows for the delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medication directly into the stomach), hyperlipidemia, unspecified (an abnormally high concentration of fats or lipids in the blood), peripheral vascular disease, unspecified (blood vessels narrow or become blocked, reducing blood flow to the limbs or other parts of the body).

Review of text message communication from the OCMD to Staff A, LPN's personal cellular phone on 10/6/2024 at 10:55 AM read, Based on his sugars, if they have been above 250 everyday, go up to 15 BID [15 units two times a day] of long-acting insulin and make sure we cover with sliding scale for meals. Let's also make sure he's getting accuchecks. Review of text message communication from Staff A, LPN's personal cellular phone to the OCMD on 10/6/2024 at 7:55 PM read, I'll change his orders & notify him of the changes & hopefully he complies. Review of text message communication from Staff A, LPN's personal cellular phone to the OCMD on 10/6/2024 at 11:25 PM read, [Resident #1's last name] has continued to call 911 since I arrived this afternoon. They are loading him up & transporting him, [Resident #1's full name]. Review of Resident #1's medical record showed no orders in the electronic medical record for the orders from the OCMD. Review of Resident #1's medical record showed no entries related to the text message communications of the physician notification or orders. Review of Resident #1's medical record showed no progress notes documented by Staff B, LPN, of the EMS (Emergency Medical Services) calls or inaction with the resident at approximately 6:30 PM. During a telephone interview on 11/13/2024 at 11:35 AM, the OCMD stated, I did receive a call related to this resident [Resident #1]. The Nurse called me on the afterhours line, and I was told of the residents' glucose and I actually decided to double the insulin, the Lantus, and increase it to 15 Units twice a day and to add SSIC [Sliding Scale Insulin Coverage] with insulin coverage AC [before meals] and HS [at bedtime]. I would say that the professional standard of practice would be to have the blood glucose rechecked after 30 minutes to one hour after high readings to accurately assess if the patient was stabilizing versus the patient needing further emergency treatment. The staff did not adhere to a professional standard of practice when they did not notify us that he was refusing treatment. I would expect staff to inform us that a patient had refused insulin to determine the next steps we needed to do, either increase medications or we send to the hospital. I would call this unintentional neglect. They did not treat this according to professional standards of practice. I should have been notified that the patient was refusing his insulin. I was not called about this again after I gave the orders to them. This was done by a text message thread. We use a HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] complaint application, but I do not know what the facility uses. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:09 PM, the Administrator stated, I am aware that staff use their cell phones to communicate with the providers, the preferred method of communication is a telephone call, but they still do use their cell phones.

I would not have any personal health information in the body of the message I would use room numbers because they can look up the resident. I use the phone mostly because it provides the fastest result. During an interview on 11/15/2024 at 6:15 AM, Staff R, LPN, stated, We text to get orders if we need to. I use my cell phone to do that, no they don't have a company phone we use; we use our own phones. I will text that the resident has a problem, I do use their name and say what is happening, I will keep it on my phone for about 2 weeks and then I will delete the messages.

I do use my own telephone. I do put in a residents' name, we can't use room numbers as a identifier, it's always a name. I do delete it after I get the order and put in [name of the electronic medical record software].

They don't always call back, it's easier to text them and get an answer. I would say whatever was happening with the resident. Of course, I identify them [residents] by name we can't use anything else. During an interview on 11/15/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Administrator stated, Our policies on cell phone use don't allow staff to use their personal cell phones. It could be a problem. I would expect staff might use their cell phone to reach out to the providers via text to have them give them a call. I do not feel that is appropriate to exchange PHI. We did identify we did have a text thread with information in it. I can't say why we didn't look deeper into this. During an interview on 11/15/2024 at 12:10 PM, the DON stated, Using and putting a resident's personal information on employees personal cell phones is problematic. We do know that personal text messages are never totally gone even if they are deleted. I would say residents could be upset if they knew this. We should not put any PHI in a text message. I'm not sure what the policy says directly. It is a resident right to have their information confidential. During an interview on 11/15/2024 at 12:50 PM, the APRN stated, The nurses are using text messages to communicate with me, they use identifiers on text communication such as room number and initials sometimes I might get just the first name just the last name sometimes I get both first and last names.

I would delete the messages a few days later and some I may have had deleted after a month or so. I would make sure the orders were in and were followed. I would document the interaction with the physician or the nurse practitioner and place the order for the resident. During an interview on 11/15/2024 at 3:30 PM, Staff B, LPN, stated, We do use our cell phones to get hold of the nurse practitioner. I do use my own personal cell phone. Well, the only way I can identify a resident is by name. I will also use a room number too, but the name also. I do have the zoom app on my telephone [did show us this app was on her telephone], I don't use this to do text messages. We use this for a face-to-face communication with the resident. The provider will give us a number and we have a zoom with the resident. I will delete the texts after I write any orders. No one ever told us we couldn't text on our phones. During an interview on 11/18/2024 at 7:00 AM, Staff U, LPN, stated, I did use my cell phone to text the on call [provider] with my own phone. I did identify who the resident was I was texting about.

The purpose of the clinical record is to document the course of the resident's plan of care and to provide a medium of communication among health care professionals involved in this care. The clinical record contains: information to identify the resident, a record of the resident's assessments, the plan of care, the results of preadmission screening, progress notes which indicate change toward achieving the care plan objectives. Information contained in the resident's clinical record, regardless of the form of storage method is considered confidential. Review of the admission Agreement showed the agreement contained a form on page 9 titled Notification & Consent Form, which read, Patient Authorization And Consent Form For Disclosure Of Health Information.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to utilize the Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) process to investigate, develop, and implement an effective performance improvement plan (PIP) when investigating neglect, change of condition, notification of providers and not following physician orders for Resident #1, placing all 27 residents who were prescribed long and short acting insulin at risk. On 10/6/2024 at 6:00 AM, Resident #1 had a blood sugar value of 552 and the on-call provider was notified of the value and the resident stated he was refusing medications until he received the proper insulin. Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse, (LPN), did not communicate to Staff B, LPN or transcribe the new orders into the medical record for the increase in insulin and the addition of sliding scale insulin coverage. Staff B, LPN, assumed care of Resident #1 at 7:00 AM on 10/6/2024 and did not follow up with the provider. Staff B, LPN, did not reassess Resident #1's blood glucose or address the need for any orders. Resident #1 called 911 at approximately 6:30 PM, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) contacted the facility, spoke with Staff B, LPN, who instructed EMS the resident did not need help. Again at 11:15 PM, Resident #1 called 911 and was subsequently transferred to the hospital and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of Diabetic Ketoacidosis. The facility's failure to develop and implement appropriate plans of actions after identifying the systemic breakdown for failure to implement policy and procedures for neglect and change of condition led to a determination of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of isolated (J). The Nursing Home Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on November 18, 2024, at 2:50 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on October 6, 2024, and was removed on site on November 18, 2024. Findings include: Review of the admission Record for Resident #1 documented an admission date of 10/3/2024 with diagnoses that include diabetes mellitus type 1, malignant neoplasm of oropharynx (cancer), unspecified dysphagia (unable to swallow), oropharyngeal phase, type 1 diabetes mellitus without complications, chronic pulmonary embolism (a blockage in a lung artery caused by a blood clot that has traveled from elsewhere in the body), chronic kidney disease, unspecified, other acute osteomyelitis (bone infection), unspecified site, acquired absence of left leg (below knee), essential primary hypertension (high blood pressure), gastrostomy status (a flexible tube that's surgically inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall. It allows for the delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medication directly into the stomach), hyperlipidemia, unspecified (an abnormally high concentration of fats or lipids in the blood), peripheral vascular disease, unspecified (blood vessels narrow or become blocked, reducing blood flow to the limbs or other parts of the body). Review of Resident #1's physician order dated 10/4/2024 read, Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Glargine) Inject 10 units subcutaneously one time a day related to Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Without Complications. Review of Resident #1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed Staff A, LPN, documented a BS (blood sugar) of 552 on 10/6/2024 at 6:00 AM.

During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 9:25 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I was not here for the incident, I found out after I returned that Tuesday. That was the 8th [10/8/2024]. With a blood sugar that high the nurse should have notified the doctor that he [Resident #1] was refusing his insulin and why he was refusing it. The nurse in charge of his care was not acting within the professional standards of practice for treating hyperglycemia in a type 1 diabetic. He [Staff A, LPN] should have notified the doctor immediately when he [Resident #1] refused his insulin. He [Staff A, LPN] did not transcribe the orders, and he should have stayed and transcribed the orders he got. The nurse got the high blood sugar and spoke to someone. I don't know who he spoke with, I don't know their name, you will have to ask [the Administrator's name] and got new orders. I don't know if or what he told the nurse that came on in the day shift. I don't know what the day shift nurse did after that. This shouldn't have happened; this should have been avoided. The nurse that admitted him should have read everything when it comes to the discharge summary, and they would have seen all the other orders instead of just the one piece of paper. The blood sugar should have been rechecked. It was not rechecked the rest of the day. I would consider this neglect. I don't know why the abuse and neglect policies were not followed. We should have completed a RCA [root cause analysis] and we should have implemented the abuse policy and procedure back on the 7th [10/7/2024].

She said she was a nurse and couldn't understand how we could make a mistake like this. She was very upset about it. She was upset that he was not given his proper insulin and that he was now in Diabetic Ketoacidosis. I told [The Administrator's name]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:18 PM, the Administrator stated, I found out about the situation when I returned to work. I was finally able to speak with the daughter on 10/20/2024. I didn't file a report on 10/7/2024 because we saw on the chart that they only had orders for Lantus, we didn't think it was an issue until he started refusing the medication. The report should have been done, that is the best practice. [Staff A, LPN's name] got the order. It was not placed in [name of the electronic medical record software]. We investigated and did a QAPI Ad hoc [from Latin meaning for this] meeting on 10/7/2024. I talked to [Staff B's name], she said that the resident refused medications and [Staff A's name] spoke to the nurse practitioner and got orders. The nurse forgot to transcribe the orders into [name of the electronic medical record software]. There was no documentation in [name of the electronic medical record software]. During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 3:43 PM, Staff B, LPN, stated, I did take care of this resident [Resident #1]. He did not refuse care when I took care of him. I was told by the night nurse [Staff A, LPN] that his blood sugar was high. I don't remember him telling me what the blood sugar was, he just said it was high. He did not refuse care that day. I did not try to get another accucheck, he didn't have orders to recheck his blood sugar. I didn't have orders to recheck the blood sugar. I wasn't told how high the blood sugar was. I did not ask how high it was. I was in the front [area of building] charting and apparently, he called 911. I was called and asked if he needed help, I told them [EMS] no, I would check on him. I went to the room, and he said, You are trying to kill me. I asked him why and he told me that 'his blood sugar, his insulin was wrong, and he needed to get short acting insulin, and we weren't ordering it for him. I told him that he had orders for long-acting insulin and that he refused to take it. He told me Yes, I do, but because I need short acting insulin I need to get out of here and you all are trying to kill me. This could have been avoided, I should have rechecked his blood sugar, I don't know why I didn't. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 7:10 AM, the DON stated, I was not here the day that this was found, that they spoke with his daughter, the Unit Manager spoke to her. They did know the concerns with not providing insulin or ADL [Activities of Daily Living] care. We were still investigating it; I can't tell you why we didn't investigate more. I knew his blood sugar was 552. I was given that information, but I thought it was that [Staff A's name] didn't transcribe orders. I guess we did not do a thorough investigation, I can't find any more than what was done initially and in the town hall meeting. I see that there were more than 12 hours that the resident was still here after that blood sugar of 552. There are no other accuchecks done after that. It is my expectation that staff provide a detailed report when going off their shift. The nurse [Staff A, LPN] should have told [Staff B's name] what the blood sugar was, and he [Staff A, LPN] should have documented his information in the notes. [Staff A's name] should have asked what high meant if that is what he told her. She should have followed up on that. I would expect that she called the doctor again and get further orders. She [Staff B] had the opportunity to call the doctor when he called 911 to get further orders. All the information should have been put in a progress note from both nurses. I would consider this neglect for both nurses. I don't know why the staff weren't suspended; I can't give you a reason. During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:10 PM, the Administrator stated, I can't say that I thought I needed to complete a federal report. I was told by [Staff D's name] that she [Resident #1's daughter] was upset and wanted to talk to us, but I wasn't able to connect with her.

We did do a QAPI on 10/7 related to the insulin. I just thought it was because he refused to take his insulin. I guess we did not investigate fully until after I spoke to his daughter. We thought the problem was that the nurse on admission got the right orders and there weren't accuchecks ordered. He refused this medication, and I spoke to [Staff B's name], LPN, and she told me that he [Resident #1] didn't talk to her at all about his insulin during the day before he called 911. Then they realized that he had orders that were not transcribed from the night nurse when he came on shift. I did not talk to him [Staff A, LPN] the DON did. I did not implement the abuse and neglect policies because he refused his medication. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why. We should have done more investigation. We should have done a QAPI when we realized that his blood sugar was so high, I wasn't aware of everything. We only did the initial QAPI, we didn't do any others, I think we should have done it, I can't tell you why we didn't. We did not suspend the nurses; it is our policy to suspend staff pending the results of an investigation. We initially thought it happened because the resident refused his insulin, not for neglect. We should follow our abuse and neglect policies and procedures. I didn't think to. I can't tell you why.
