Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1) Review of Resident #20's admission record showed the resident was most recently admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses that included unspecified dementia, severe, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety; major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified; and other seizures. Review of Resident #20's Medication Regimen Review for September 2024 for Depakote Oral Tablet Delayed Release 250 mg (milligram) (Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for mood and stability) showed the Consultant Pharmacist requested specifying the need and frequency of Depakote and Ammonia levels for the order for labs ordered on 6/18/2024. Review of Resident #20's consultation note authored by the Psychiatric Services Provider dated 6/18/2024 showed it read, HPI [History of Present Illness] General .

Review of Resident #20's physician orders revealed no orders to obtain either a Depakote or an ammonia level.

During an interview on 1/8/2025 at 4:10 PM, the Psychiatric Services Provider stated, We have been having issues with getting the ammonia levels. I think it might have something to do with it being a send out lab. Our Medical Director, [Medical Director's Name] has recommended just getting Depakote levels every three months. If the Depakote level is abnormal or the patient is symptomatic, then we get the ammonia level. During an interview on 1/9/25 at 10:45 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The psych nurse can enter orders, but not labs. The process is that they email their notes which are then integrated into PCC. Currently they are not being translated to the right people [nursing]. The vendor is supposed to talk to the unit manager. 2) Review of Resident #35's admission record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses that included hyperlipidemia; essential (primary) hypertension; unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure; unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety; Alzheimer's disease, unspecified; and major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food items were stored in accordance with professional standards (Photographic evidence obtained). Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1) During an observation while conducting a tour of the kitchen on 1/6/2025 at 9:30 AM, there was a brown buildup on the floor of the Emergency Food Storage room under a food storage crate, located over a floor drain. During an interview on 1/6/2025 at 9:30 AM, the Food Services Manager stated, I don't know what that is. I have been here for 7 months, and it hasn't happened since I have been here. It may have been the sewer drain overflowed. We don't come back here very often. During an observation on 1/8/2025 at 8:35 AM, ceiling vents located in the emergency food storage room and over the food preparation area in the kitchen had a dark substance extending around the perimeter of the vents. The area around two of the vents also had areas of cracked and peeling white material. During an interview on 1/8/2025 at 8:45 AM, the Maintenance Director stated, If that [the brown buildup over the floor drain] was from the drain backing up, it's dry now. No one reported it to me. We will have to pull down those [ceiling] vents and paint the ceiling. Review of the facility's Freezer Temperature Log for January 2025 revealed documentation of temperatures above 32 degrees Fahrenheit (freezing): 64 degrees Fahrenheit on 1/4/2025; 61 degrees Fahrenheit on 1/5/2025; and 38 degrees Fahrenheit on 1/8/2025. No corrective actions were documented on the log. During an interview on 1/8/2025 at 1:08 PM, the District Manager for Food and Nutrition Services stated, We moved all of the food out of the back room [the emergency food supply room]. If I had known there was a drain in there, I would have moved the food then. We don't want to take any risks. I believe they are going to snake the drain. I checked all of the food in that [the reach-in] freezer, and it was still frozen. Some had blocks of ice, apparently from when the freezer had gone through defrost. We moved all of it to a different freezer, and we are having that one repaired. The expectation is when the temperature is not within range, that the food is checked and either moved or discarded. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Maintenance with the last review date of 11/19/2024 showed it read, Policy: The facility's physical plant and equipment will be maintained through a program of preventative maintenance and prompt action to identify areas/items in need of repair. Procedure: The Director of Environmental Services will follow all policies regarding routine periodic maintenance. The Director of Environmental Services will perform daily rounds of the building to ensure the plant is free of hazards and in proper physical condition.
