promptly and provide a response and/or possible solution to group concerns for 6 months reviewed.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During the Resident Council meeting held on 01/08/24 at 2:04 PM, members of Resident Council
confirmed they met monthly. The members in attendance stated they were frustrated and upset about
grievances that had not been resolved regarding dietary, staffing, and staff speaking other languages. All
residents in attendance agreed they had the same concerns and their grievances had not been addressed.
The residents stated the eggs served to them were uncooked and were not real eggs; eggs were cold,
liquid and runny; portion size was small; the meals did not match the meal ticket; hot food was served cold;
and food trays did not close properly for food to stay hot. They noted it took 10 to 15 minutes after the food
carts arrived on the unit for the staff to pass out the meal trays. They explained there was no team work
with the staff. If Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were busy, there was no other staff to distribute the
meal trays and the trays remained in the cart until the CNA was ready to pass them out. They discussed
that at times there was no protein with their meal, only starch accompanied by more starch and
carbohydrates. The Resident Council President stated the dietary manager attended the meetings
sometimes and discussed he was working on the issues but there had been no changes.
The Resident Council members discussed issues with staffing and noted there was a high turnover of staff
and reported there was not enough time for the CNAs to care for all their assigned residents. They
explained on several occasions they had to wait more than three hours for their call lights to be answered
and call light response times were worse during nights and weekends. Sometimes they had to telephone
the front desk from their cellular phones or room phones to have the front desk page the CNA to their
rooms. The residents stated when CNAs were not available, they requested help from licensed nurses but
some of the nurses were not willing to help saying it was not their responsibility. They stated some nurses
were not able to understand them as they did not speak much English. They explained they had to use
gestures and their basic knowledge of Spanish to explain what they needed. Residents indicated they
spoke to Social Services, the Administrator and the Assistant Director of Nursing about this issue but there
had not been any resolution. Some residents recalled they received the wrong medication due to the
nurses not being able to speak English and nothing was done to correct the error.
Resident Council members discussed lack of activities and reported the facility did not offer

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 record review, the facility failed to provide documented evidence that grievances
were resolved promptly, and residents/family members were apprised of progress toward a resolution of
grievances for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for grievances out of a total sample of 57 residents, (#54, 34).
Findings:
1. Resident #54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Friedreich Ataxia,
cardiomyopathy, dependence in wheelchair, lack of coordination and muscle weakness.
Friedreich ataxia (FA) is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive damage to your nervous system
and movement problems (retrieved on 1/12/24 from https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health).
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed resident #54's Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 15 of 15 which indicated he was cognitively intact. The MDS
assessment showed the resident was moderately dependent on staff for his activities of daily living (ADL)
such as bathing and was wheelchair dependent. He had a comprehensive care plan in effect for ADL Self
Care Performance Deficit related to [NAME] Ataxia, weakness, and bilateral foot drop.
On 1/8/24 at 12:45 PM, resident #54 was observed sitting in an electric wheelchair. He was alert and
oriented to person, place, and situation. The resident stated that approximately 2 months ago, Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) A refused to give him a shower on his shower day and told him, I don't give a f---.
Resident #54 noted he did not think it was abuse at the time and said he filed a grievance. He indicated he
had not seen CNA A since the incident.
Review of the facility grievance and abuse logs did not show any entries for resident #54 in the past 3
months.
On 1/10/24 at 9:48 AM, the East Wing Unit Manager said she was not aware of any incidents or grievances
involving resident #54 and CNA A using curse words with him.
On 1/10/24 at 10:02 AM, the Social Services Director (SSD) verified she was the Grievance Officer and
was not aware of any grievances for resident #54 or concerns with CNA A not giving him a shower and
cursing. The SSD added, if she had been informed about this, she would have initiated an investigation and
spoken to the resident and CNA and then obtained statements if indicated.
On 1/10/24 at 2:40 PM, during a follow up interview, the SSD explained resident #54 wanted a shower but
CNA A was busy with another resident. He tried asking about his shower later and the CNA was on break.
He waited in the hallway for her to come back from break and told her was going to file a grievance against
her and the CNA told him she did not give a f---. He said he reported the incident to the Weekend
Supervisor who assisted him to complete a grievance form. The SSD indicated that along with completing a
grievance form, the Weekend Supervisor should have reported the incident to her and the Director of
Nursing. She stated the resident thought the issue was taken care of as he did not see CNA A again. She
said the CNA was from an agency and the facility did not notify the agency until it was brought to their
attention by the surveyor.

On 1/10/24 at 3:01 PM, the Weekend Supervisor said it was 3 weeks ago when he filled out the grievance
form for resident #54 and had the resident sign it. He noted the incident occurred on Sunday on the 3
PM-11 PM shift. He explained resident #54 complained to him that he did not get a shower or assisted back
to bed. He stated he documented in the form that when the resident told the CNA he was filing a grievance,
she stated, does it look like I give a f---. He recalled he left the grievance in the Director of Nursing's (DON)
office and did not hear anything else about it. He assumed the SSD would have followed up and processed
the grievance.
On 1/10/24 at 3:17 PM, the DON said she had not received any grievance from the Weekend Supervisor
regarding resident #54 and had been on vacation 3 weeks ago. The DON said the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) had not mentioned any grievances involving resident #54 and CNA A. The DON explained
the process when a grievance was filed, was to obtain statements from the resident and inform the
Grievance Officer/SSD. The DON noted in this case, the CNA's agency would be notified and they would
not have the CNA return to work in the facility.
On 1/10/24 at 4:42 PM, the ADON verified she covered for the DON while she was on leave but did not go
into her office. The ADON explained the Weekend Supervisor should have informed her immediately about
resident #54's grievance to ensure timely follow up with his concerns. She would have proceeded to obtain
statements from CNA A, resident #54 and any other staff or residents. The ADON added that she would
have communicated with the SSD/Grievance officer to determine if this was perhaps an abuse allegation.
2. Resident #34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including paraplegia, dependence on
renal dialysis, end stage renal disease, type 2 diabetes, seizures and major depressive disorder.
Review of the MDS quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 11/22/23 revealed resident
#34 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15 which indicated he was cognitively intact. He had
clear speech and was able to make himself understood and understood others. The document indicated
resident #34 did not exhibit any behaviors.
On 1/07/24 at 1:19 PM, resident #34 stated he was unhappy with his roommate situation. He explained a
female resident and his roommate engaged in sexual conduct while he was in the room. Resident #34
stated he felt very uncomfortable with this situation and had reported it to the Social Services Director, but
nothing had been done.
Review of the facility's Grievance Log revealed no grievance regarding resident #34's concern with his
roommate.
On 1/09/24 at 11:48 AM, the SSD verified she was responsible for grievances. She stated anyone could fill
out a grievance form, turn it in to Social Services and she provided them to the appropriate department for
resolution. She explained that a staff member could complete a grievance form and she often completed
them for residents who came to her with a concern. The SSD stated the grievances were recorded on a log
and attempts were made to resolve the grievance within 48-72 hours. The SSD confirmed resident #34 had
spoken with her in December 2023 regarding his roommate's activities. She could not remember the exact
date but stated she reported it to the Administrator and DON right away. The SSD explained resident #34
was offered a room change and declined. She reviewed the medical record for resident #34 and
acknowledged there was no documentation regarding his concern or the offer of a room change. The SSD
verified she did not complete a grievance form regarding resident #34's

think about documenting it on a grievance form. She acknowledged that a grievance form should have been
completed. The SSD was unable to state what the solution to the grievance was and stated she would have
to discuss it with their corporate office.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Grievances Program dated 4/01/22, revealed that a
grievance was defined as any concern that could not be resolved to the satisfaction of the person making
the objection at the bedside or within four or less hours. The document indicated when there was a
grievance, it would be documented on paper form, routed to the Grievance Officer, discussed with
appropriate individuals, investigated accordingly and the person filing the concern or grievance would be
informed of the findings of the investigation and the actions that would be taken to correct the problem and
documented on the appropriate concern form.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of staff-to-resident abuse to State
agencies within the required 2-hour timeframe, and failed to report the incident to law enforcement for 1 of 4
residents reviewed for abuse, out of a total sample of 57 residents, (#13).
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including pain in her lower back and bilateral lower legs, blood clots in bilateral legs, opioid dependence,
morbid obesity, muscle spasms, depression, and insomnia.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 12/05/23 revealed
resident #13 had clear speech, was able to express ideas and wants, and had no comprehension issues.
The resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status score was 15 which indicated she was cognitively intact.
The MDS assessment showed resident #13 had no behavioral symptoms and did not reject evaluation or
care necessary to achieve her goals for health and well-being. Resident #13 required substantial or
maximal assistance for toileting hygiene and lower body dressing, and partial to moderate assistance for
bathing.
On 1/07/24 at 11:08 AM, resident #13 described an incident which occurred on Friday 1/05/24, when her
assigned Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was very rough and unkind to her during personal hygiene
care. The resident explained she had sensitive skin and she asked the CNA to be gentler as she washed
her. Resident #13 stated the CNA became belligerent at being corrected. She said, The more I talked, the
louder she got, and it kept escalating. The resident stated the CNA refused to complete washing her, and
told her to do it herself. Resident #13 stated the CNA pressed her thumbs into her inner knees and she had
to throw my legs up to get the CNA's hands away. Resident #13 stated two floor nurses came to her room
to speak to her about the incident, but nobody from the facility's administration such as the Director of
Nursing (DON), the Social Services Director (SSD), the Administrator, nor the police had interviewed her
about the incident yet. The resident stated she notified her daughter immediately after the incident and it
was not until after her daughter arrived at the facility to express her dissatisfaction with the facility's lack of
action that the CNA was sent home.
Review of resident #13's medical record revealed a nursing note dated 1/05/24 at 5:04 PM that read,
[Patient] stated that she was mishandled by the staff that was taking care of her, she was very rude and
rough. The note indicated the nurse switched the CNA to another resident care assignment and notified the
supervisor.
On 1/07/24 at 12:35 PM, the SSD confirmed she was the facility's designated Abuse Coordinator and her
responsibilities included assisting the Risk Manager, the Administrator, with investigations of alleged abuse
and neglect. She stated if an incident occurred after-hours or on the weekend, the nurse would ensure the
safety of residents and then notify DON and Administrator who would involve her by way of a conference
call. The SSD explained it was important for staff to report alleged abuse immediately because the facility
needed to initiate an investigation to determine if necessary reports had to be filed within two hours. The
SSD stated staff notified the DON first and then they called her. The SSD said, I directed them to remove
the CNA from the assignment and suspend her. I told them to gather witness statements to get the details
and they sent them to me. She stated she reported

her initial findings from her telephone conversations with staff to the Administrator, and he filed the required
report to the State Survey Agency. The SSD acknowledged she had not yet interviewed the resident as she
wrote a detailed statement.
On 1/07/24 at 12:54 PM, the SSD provided a copy of the facility's Immediate Report, filed with the State
Agency's federal reporting system, regarding resident #13's allegation of staff-to-resident abuse. The
document indicated the incident occurred on 1/05/23 at 7:30 PM, which conflicted with nursing
documentation of the event at approximately 5:00 PM. The Immediate Report showed the DON reported
the incident to the Administrator and SSD on 1/05/24 at 8:30 PM and the facility's response was to suspend
the CNA pending investigation and notify the county sheriff's office. When asked to provide a case number
as proof of notification of law enforcement, the SSD stated she did not have confirmation. The SSD
explained she asked the nurse to call the police, and the resident and/or her daughter also stated they
would call. The SSD acknowledged she did not follow up and was not sure if law enforcement was ever
notified. She verified the facility, not the alleged victim, was responsible for notifying law enforcement of
abuse allegations in the facility.
Review of the alleged perpetrators time card indicated the CNA clocked out on 1/05/24 at 8:24 PM, over
three hours after the incident was documented in resident #13's medical record.
On 1/07/24 at 2:01 PM, a Deputy Sheriff stood at resident #13's bedside. She explained she was
dispatched to the facility in response to an allegation of abuse and would provide the information she
obtained from the resident to detectives.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Abuse, revised on 10/24/22, revealed if the events that
caused an allegation involved abuse, the violation would be reported immediately, and not later than two
hours after the allegation was made. The document indicated the facility was required to comply with
external reporting requirements including the State Agency and law enforcement.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate care and services for
splinting to prevent worsening of contractures for 1 of 1 residents reviewed for limited range of motion, out
of a total sample of 57 residents, (#44).
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), paraplegia, stroke, and
contractures of all extremities.
A contracture is limited movement of a join caused by shortening or contracting of muscles in the arms or
legs due to inactivity or inability to move. Contractures are prevented and treated by regular movement and
range of motion or stretching exercises, and use of splints to maintain a contracture in a stretched position
(retrieved on 1/17/24 from www.drugs.com/cg/contracture-ambulatory-care.html).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 11/28/23 revealed
resident #44 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The document showed the
resident exhibited no behavioral symptoms and did not reject evaluation or care that was necessary to
achieve her goals for health and well-being. The MDS assessment revealed the resident had contractures
and was totally dependent on staff for self-care and mobility. Review of Section O, Special treatments,
Procedures, and Programs, showed resident #44 did not receive any Restorative Nursing Program (RNP)
services including range of motion exercises or assistance with splints in the 7-day lookback period.
Review of the medical record revealed resident #44 had a care plan initiated on 7/29/20 for activities of
daily living self-care performance deficit related to limited mobility and limited range of motion. The goal
was the resident would maintain her current level of function. An intervention dated 4/20/23 revealed RNP
staff were to perform passive range of motion (PROM) exercises for the resident's shoulders, wrists, and
fingers as tolerated, and apply left and right hand and elbow splints for four to six hours as tolerated.
Review of an Occupational Therapy Discharge summary dated 10/1023 revealed resident #44 was on
Occupational Therapy caseload from 9/01/23 to 10/08/23. She was discharged and referred to the RNP
when she achieved her maximum potential. The document indicated therapy staff instructed RNP staff on
conducting skin checks and the schedule for application of the resident's splints .in order to preserve
current level of function. The discharge summary indicated resident #44's prognosis was excellent with
participation in the RNP for bilateral hand and elbow splints.
Review of Restorative Nursing Program Instructions dated 10/09/23 revealed resident #44's RNP goal was
PROM to her bilateral upper extremities with splint applications, three times weekly. The program activities
included instructions to perform PROM on all joints to the resident's end range, three sets of ten, with a
3-second hold for each, in preparation for splinting. The documents indicated bilateral resting hand splints
and bilateral elbow splints were to be worn for four to six hours as tolerated, and skin checks performed pre
and post splinting. The RNP instruction form was signed on

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 1/07/24 at 2:52 PM, resident #44's elbows, wrists, and fingers were tightly contracted and held close to
her chest. She did not have splints applied, and her long fingernails with sharp edges were pressed into
both palms. The Wound Nurse and Restorative Aide F confirmed the resident's fingernails were too long.
They explained the resident's daughter usually cut her fingernails but both staff acknowledged facility staff
were responsible for contacting the family if the task was not done or to request permission to provide the
necessary care. The Wound Nurse and Restorative Aide F validated resident #44's fingernails needed to be
cut to prevent injury to her palms and fingers due to her contractures. Restorative Aide F verified skin and
fingernail checks should be performed before and after splint application.
Residents Affected - Some
On 1/07/24 at 3:07 PM, Restorative Aide F showed two hand splints and two elbow splints on the top shelf
of resident #44's closet. When asked why the resident did not have the splints applied to her arms,
Restorative Aide F explained she had not been able to perform RNP duties for any residents today as she
was reassigned at the start of the shift to monitor residents in the the facility's smoking area. She stated
resident #44's name had not been on her list of residents who needed splints for a while and only got back
on the RNP assignment last week. Restorative Aide F said, I did not do her yesterday as I did not know she
was on caseload. I just saw it today. Truthfully, when I had her, I did her as often as I could. My goal was
three times a week. She stated the purpose of RNP services was for residents to maintain their abilities.
She explained regular splint application was important for residents with contractures as it prevented
increased stiffness.
On 1/08/24 at 11:12 AM, resident #44 had her splints in place. However, due to contractures of her fingers,
the right middle fingernail pressed into the top of her right index finger. The Wound Nurse confirmed the
resident's fingernails still had not been cut or filed.
On 1/09/24 at 11:21 AM and 1/10/24 at 5:41 PM, the Director of Rehab confirmed resident #44 had
significant upper extremity contractures and was seen by Occupational Therapy for management of her
contractures related to range of motion and splinting of her elbows and hands. The Director of Rehab said,
It is absolutely important for her to wear her splints.We give [RNP] instructions as we want to maintain what
we accomplished. She explained the use of splints prevented further contractures, increased range of
motion, prevented skin breakdown, and was essential for any resident who had contractures.
On 1/10/24 at 5:24 PM, during review of the Documentation Survey Reports, the Assistant Director of
Nursing stated resident #44 had her splints applied on six days in October 2023, five days in November
2023, one day in December 2023, and one day in January 2024. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed
she was the facility's Restorative Nurse and was responsible for the RNP. She stated she met with therapy
staff and Restorative Aides once monthly, but she was not aware resident #44's splints had not been
applied three times weekly according to therapy recommendations. When asked if she reviewed the flow
sheets completed by Restorative Aides, the DON said, Honestly I don't check it.
On 1/11/24 at 12:39 PM, Occupational Therapist G stated resident #44 had therapy recommendations for
PROM and splinting three times weekly. She explained on Monday 1/08/24, she was informed that RNP
staff had not applied the splints as required for three months and she was asked to evaluate the resident's
current status. Occupational Therapist G stated her assessment showed resident #44 was no longer able to
tolerate her splints for the 4-hour period she achieved on discharge from Occupational

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the medical record revealed resident #57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted from the
hospital on [DATE]. His diagnoses included traumatic brain injury, pneumonia, acute and chronic respiratory
failure with low oxygen levels, bronchial disease, collapse of the lung(s) and heart failure.
Residents Affected - Few
The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment with assessment reference date of
11/23/23 revealed resident #57 did not speak, was rarely or never able to make himself understood or
understand others. The resident had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making, showed no
behavioral symptoms, and did not reject evaluation or care that was necessary to achieve the his goals for
health and well-being. He was totally dependent on staff for self-care and mobility. The MDS assessment
indicated resident #57 received oxygen therapy.
A nursing note dated 11/17/23 revealed resident #57 was re-admitted to the facility from the hospital on
oxygen at 2 liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula.
Review of the medical record revealed resident #57 had a physician order dated 11/17/23 for continuous
supplemental oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. Physician orders dated 11/18/23 indicated nurses were
to change the resident's oxygen tubing and nasal cannula weekly every Friday during the night shift, and as
needed for hygiene.
Resident #57 had a care plan initiated on 11/20/23 for risk for respiratory distress related to acute on
chronic respiratory failure due to mucus plugging, collapsed lung, pneumonia, and need for oxygen therapy.
The goal was the resident would maintain optimal breathing pattern and remain free of signs and
symptoms of respiratory distress. The care plan indicated resident #57 required oxygen therapy and the
interventions instructed licensed nurses to administer oxygen as ordered, observe oxygen precautions, and
monitor oxygen levels and lung sounds as ordered.
Observations of resident #57 on 1/07/24 at 11:48 AM, 1/07/24 at 2:24 PM, and 1/08/24 at 11:19 AM
revealed he did not have oxygen infusing via nasal cannula. There was no oxygen concentrator machine in
the resident's room.
On 1/08/24 at 12:27 PM, Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) H confirmed she was assigned to care for
resident #57. She explained she was a newly-hired nurse and was and not sure if the resident had a
physician order for oxygen therapy, or why he would need oxygen as his oxygen saturation level was 97%
this morning. LPN H was prompted to check the electronic medical record and noted there was a
designated section to document oxygen use for the resident. Due to a language barrier, the nurse was
unable to comprehend and respond to questions regarding her process for verification of resident's care
needs from the medical record, change of shift report, or during rounds to ensure oxygen was administered
as ordered.
On 1/08/24 at 12:32 PM, LPN H checked resident #57's oxygen saturation level and stated it was 93%. She
stated it was low and explained the resident needed oxygen. LPN H looked around the resident's room and
validated there was no oxygen concentrator machine.
For most people, a normal oxygen saturation level is between 95% and 100% (retrieved on 1/16/24 from
www.my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/22447-blood-oxygen-level).

On 1/08/24 at 12:34 PM, the [NAME] Wing Unit Manager (UM) reviewed resident #57's medical record and
confirmed there was a physician order for oxygen and associated diagnoses related to oxygen use. The UM
was not aware the resident did not have an oxygen concentrator in his room.
On 1/08/24 at 12:38 PM, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was informed resident #57 had a
physician order for continuous oxygen therapy but there was no concentrator in his room. She explained
there was an issue with family dynamics and the resident's mother probably did not want him to use
oxygen. The ADON confirmed nurses were expected to follow physician orders or notify the physician of
any situation that might require an order to be revised. She explained she thought resident #57 probably
needed oxygen mainly at night, .and the nurses could possibly be grabbing a concentrator from outside the
room. to administer oxygen at night.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Oxygen Administration, dated 4/01/22, revealed nurses
were to verify that a physician order was in place for oxygen administration and administer oxygen at the
ordered flow rate via an appropriate device.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide oxygen therapy per
physician orders for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for oxygen therapy of a total sample of 57 residents, (#28,
and #57).
Findings:
1. Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's Disease, hypertension,
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and shortness of breath.
Resident #28's Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed she was cognitively intact,
required substantial assistance to roll in bed and did not get out of bed to walk nor use a wheelchair or
scooter for mobility. The assessment also indicated resident #28 used oxygen.
Resident #28 had a care plan for risk of respiratory distress related to shortness of breath and use of
continuous oxygen dated 6/12/23. The goal was for resident #28 to maintain an optimal breathing pattern
and to remain free of respiratory distress. The care plan interventions included administration of oxygen as
ordered by the physician.
Review of the Order Summary Report revealed resident #28 had a physician order for continuous oxygen
delivered at 3 liters per minute (LPM) by a nasal cannula (NC) every shift for monitoring dated 6/09/23.
On 1/07/24 at 12:15 PM resident #28 was awake and alert in her bed watching TV. She had on a NC
attached to an oxygen concentrator that was set to 1.5 LPM. Resident #28 stated she was unsure how
much oxygen she was supposed to receive. At approximately 1:50 PM, resident #28 was again observed in
bed in her room with the NC attached to the oxygen concentrator set at 1.5 LPM.
On 1/08/24 at 11:15 AM, resident #28 was observed in bed watching TV. She was wearing the NC attached
to the oxygen concentrator which was set at 1.5 LPM.
On 1/09/24 at 9:24 AM, resident #28 was in her room with a breakfast tray in front of her. She did not have
the NC on, instead it was on the floor under her bed still attached to the oxygen concentrator that was set

The nurse then bent down to pick up the NC off the floor under resident #28's bed and started to place the

She was asked to check resident #28's pulse oximeter reading before she put a new NC on her since RN D
did not know how long the resident had not been wearing her oxygen. RN D searched her cart for a pulse
oximeter to measure resident #28's oxygen level but found the equipment she had did not work. She then
went to the other nurse on the unit to borrow one from her. RN D returned a few minutes later to the nurse's
station without the pulse oximeter and spoke with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). RN D was
reminded that she still had not replaced resident #28's NC and she went to retrieve a new one from the
supply room. When she returned she said she did not have a working pulse oximeter on the unit, so the
ADON went to the other unit to find one and she returned to resident #28's room to replace the NC.
At 11:06 AM on 1/09/24, resident #28 was again sitting in bed, alert and oriented, wearing the NC attached
to the oxygen concentrator. The concentrator was now set at 2 LPM instead of 3 LPM as ordered by the
physician. RN D was in the hallway and returned to resident #28's room. She was asked about the flow of
the oxygen per the physician's order. RN D confirmed she had set the oxygen at 2 LPM, but stated she
didn't realize she had only adjusted the oxygen to 2 LPM instead of the ordered 3 LPM. RN D explained
that she was supposed to follow the physician's order and not decide herself what to set a patient's oxygen
flow rate.
On 1/10/24 at 4:59 PM, the Director of Nursing stated her expectation was the assigned nurse check the
resident's oxygen saturation and the physician orders depending on if it is as needed or continuous flow
when the nurse did their rounds. The Regional Nurse explained it was best practice for the nurse to look at
both the resident using the oxygen and the oxygen concentrator when they did rounds at the beginning of
their shift in order to ensure physician orders were followed and that residents' oxygen needs were being
met.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide sufficient licensed nurses on the 7:00
AM to 7:00 PM shift to meet the needs and achieve the goals according to the plans of care for residents
on 2 of 2 units, (West and East Wings).
Findings:
1. On 1/07/24 at 11:43 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E stood at his medication cart in the hallway
outside room [ROOM NUMBER]. The computer screen displayed medication administration tasks in red
and LPN E explained the red color indicated the residents' medications were late. He confirmed most of the
medications were scheduled for 9:00 AM and should have been given by 10:00 AM at the latest. He stated
he was scheduled to work from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM but came in late for his shift this morning. LPN E
explained he was scheduled to work from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM yesterday, but ended up working until almost
1:00 AM as no nurse showed up to take his assignment. He stated the facility was eventually able to find a
nurse from a staffing agency to relieve him, but he was tired after yesterday's unplanned 18-hour shift, so
he came in late.
On 1/07/24 at 12:00 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) C exited a resident's room and walked towards her
medication cart in the hallway. She confirmed she was still administering scheduled 9:00 AM medications.
RN C explained she got a late start due to a staffing issue this morning. She stated she was originally
assigned to the other medication cart on the unit but her assignment was changed to allow LPN E to return
to the assignment he had yesterday.
On 1/08/24 at 11:24 AM, RN H stated she just completed administration of her assigned residents'
scheduled 9:00 AM medications. She explained she had been on staff for three days so her medication
administration process was very slow. RN H acknowledged she had not asked the Unit Manager (UM) or a
supervisor for assistance, and she did not notify the physician(s) that medications were administered
outside the required timeframe.
On 1/09/24 at 10:41 AM, LPN I stood at her medication cart near room [ROOM NUMBER]. She stated she
worked for a nurse staffing agency and was unfamiliar with her assigned residents because she had not
worked at this facility for about a year. She confirmed she was still administering residents' scheduled 9:00
AM medications. LPN I checked her computer and counted 14 residents' names displayed in red on the
screen. She acknowledged their medications still had to be administered. LPN I said, I'm late as there are a
lot of residents.
On 1/09/24 at 10:47 AM, the [NAME] Wing UM stated she was not aware a significant number of residents'
medications were administered outside the acceptable range of one hour before or one hour after the
scheduled time. She acknowledged sometimes nurses might be delayed when they had to locate residents
who were not in their rooms, for example, those who required close supervision in the unit's common area.
She said, That takes more time. When asked if she ever assisted with medication administration in the
mornings, the [NAME] Wing UM stated she did not. She explained she assisted nurses with paperwork or
notification of the physician if there was an incident such as a fall. She stated the unit's census was 65
residents and there were two licensed nurses assigned to the care for them. The [NAME] Wing UM
confirmed each nurse was therefore tasked to medicate 32 to 33 residents within a 2-hour window. She
acknowledged it was not possible due to the number of residents and the quantity of

medications, and another nurse would be helpful. The [NAME] Wing UM denied knowledge of any current
plans in place to solve the problem.
On 1/10/24 at 11:50 AM, LPN E stood at his medication cart and confirmed he was still administering
scheduled 9:00 AM medications. He said, Only two left, so will finish by 12:00 PM. This assignment is
heavy, especially for morning med pass. Lots of pills. Definitely needs three nurses to complete med pass
on time.
On 1/09/24 at 1:30 PM, during review of the facility's Grievance Log with the Social Service Director (SSD),
she discussed a grievance related to late administration of medications. She stated a resident's family
member reported on 1/07/24 that scheduled 9:00 PM medications were not given until 12:00 AM. The SSD
verified the issue occurred on the [NAME] Wing and said, We are aware that side is a little heavy.
2. On 01/07/2024 at 2:35 PM, RN C stated she was responsible for 34 residents on the [NAME] Wing. She
had been assigned to a maximum of 35 residents. She acknowledged that her workload was heavy and it
was difficult to manage the resident's 9:00 AM medication pass. She noted majority of the 34 residents had
their medications scheduled at 9:00 AM, and some residents did not receive their medications on time.
On 01/09/2024 at 10:40 AM, RN D stated her workload was difficult, managing 34 residents on the [NAME]
Wing. The highest number of residents assigned to her was 38. RN D confirmed the morning medication
passes were very challenging due to the number of residents scheduled to receive 9:00 AM medications.
She acknowledged she did not complete her 9:00 AM medication pass timely and some residents received
their medications late.
On 01/10/2024 at 9:34 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the nurses on the [NAME] Wing Long
Term Care (LTC) Unit had a maximum of 35 residents on their assignment. The nurses on the East Wing
were assigned a maximum of 25 residents. She explained the level of staffing required for each unit was
based on census, acuity, and resident's needs. She noted workload concerns brought to her attention were
discussed with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the Administrator. The DON acknowledged
she received a grievance from a resident's family member via email on 12/15/23 that indicated resident #
25 received her medications late. On 12/18/23, the DON witnessed the administration of medications to
residents and reviewed the Medication Administration Records (MAR). She stated they identified the
residents on the [NAME] Wing received their medications a couple of hours late. She stated she was aware
of the excessive number of residents scheduled to receive their medications simultaneously. The DON
expressed concern for the nurses' workload and recognized there was a need for additional staff. The DON
said she discussed her findings with the Administrator, and the Administrator agreed with the need for
additional staff. The DON explained while in the process of recruiting new nurses to ensure residents'
needs were met, they had only two nurses managing the unit's workload. The DON confirmed the facility
had a new medication cart since December 2023, however, there was a lack of facility staff to utilize the
new medication cart to support the nursing team. The DON acknowledged that she and the Administrator
jointly decided against hiring agency staff in the interim of hiring new nurses because of the cost.
On 01/10/24 at 1:28 PM, LPN E stated he had 31 residents on his assignment on the [NAME] Wing. He
articulated it was very difficult to manage the morning medication pass as almost all his 31 residents had
their morning medications scheduled at 9:00 AM. He confirmed that some of the residents did not receive
their 9:00 AM medications until 12:00 pm which coincided with their afternoon medications.

He noted that despite voiced concerns about the unmanageable workload and its impact on the timely
administration of resident medications, management had not provided any feedback, and no action had
been taken to address the issue.
Review of the Facility Assessment Tool updated on 10/18/23, revealed a factor that the facility must take
into account is the acuity of the resident case mix that needs, preferences, and routines in order to help
each resident attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being. The
facility assesses the needs for all residents on an individual level and assigns direct care staff accordingly.

operational and financial objectives of Management and allocates resources in an efficient and economical
manner to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psycho-social well-being of each
resident.
Review of the Director of Nursing's (DON) job description revealed the DON develops staffing plans that
assure sufficient numbers of qualified, competent nursing staff to meet direct care needs, conducts
assessments as required, develops plans of care, evaluates residents' responses to interventions and
documents effectively in compliance with state and federal requirements. Recommends numbers and types
of nursing personnel necessary to provide care and to maintain compliance with facility mission and with
regulations. Hires and retains qualified competent nursing staff to provide nursing and nursing related

timely medication administration in accordance with accepted standards of practice for 1 of 5 residents
reviewed for unnecessary medications, (#25); and failed to acquire medications within an appropriate
timeframe for 1 of 19 residents with new admission status, (#218), out of a total sample of 57 residents.
Findings:

evaluation or care that was necessary to achieve her goals for health and well-being. Resident #25 received
scheduled pain medication for frequent pain in the 5-day lookback period. The resident received
anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, hypnotic or sleep aids, and opioid or narcotic medication.

On 1/09/24 at 10:03 AM, resident #25's father explained he was his daughter's healthcare surrogate and
responsible party. He expressed concerns related to nurses, particularly agency nurses on the weekends,
who repeatedly administered her scheduled medications at the wrong times. The resident's father explained
he was worried about the possibility of overmedication and dangerous side effects and/or decreased
effectiveness when her medications were administered at the wrong intervals. He explained although his
daughter did not communicate verbally, she was able to text and inform him when her medications were
actually received. The resident's father stated she frequently had to stay up after 11:00 PM at night to wait
for her 9:00 PM medications which included a sleeping pill.
On 1/09/24 at 1:30 PM, the Social Services Director confirmed resident #25's father often made grievances

night shift to ensure morning medications were available. She stated her expectation was for nurses to
access ordered drugs from the facility's emergency medication kits in the medication rooms and/or call the
physician to obtain an order for an available, appropriate medication until any pharmacy issues could be
sorted out. She validated the facility was responsible for acquiring and administering medications to meet
resident #218's needs. During review of the medical record, the Clinical Executive verified the resident was
actually admitted on the day shift, not the evening shift, and there would have been adequate time to
arrange for his medications before evening and bedtime doses were due. She acknowledged the
medication list was not entered into the computer system until 5:30 PM, approximately four hours after the
resident was admitted . She said, The nurses should put in meds as soon as possible. It is not acceptable
that the resident arrived at 1:30 PM and staff took four hours to enter the meds.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Medication Administration Times (undated) revealed
medication would be administered within 60 minutes before or after the dosing schedules and medications
ordered before meals were to be given approximately 30 minutes before meal time.
The facility's policy and procedure for Providing Pharmacy Services (undated) revealed the pharmacy
would ensure the facility's staff had access to medications 24 hours daily. The document indicated the
facility could prevent a delay in medication therapy by requesting that the physician order a substitute
medication stocked in the emergency kit. If drug substitution was not possible, the nurse should ask if it
could be initiated the next morning and document the conversation. The policy revealed if a drug was
considered essential and could not be substituted or delayed, the nurse should contact the pharmacy's
emergency number.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent medication administration error rate of
5% or greater for 1 of 4 residents sampled for medication administration, (#35). There were 2 medication
errors in 26 opportunities for a medication error rate of 7.69%.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Resident #35's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care
hospital. Her diagnoses included stroke, myocardial infarction, hypertension, congestive heart failure, mood
disorder, anxiety, depression, and pseudobulbar affect.
Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a condition that's characterized by episodes of sudden uncontrollable and
inappropriate laughing or crying (retrieved on 1/12/24 from https://www.mayoclinic.org).
On 1/8/24 at 9:25 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) B prepared to administer resident #35's 11 scheduled
morning medications and placed a total of 10 ½ pills into a small plastic cup which included Aspirin
81 milligram (mg) enteric coated tablet and did not include Dextromethorphan Quinidine 20-10 mg capsule.
RN A then approached resident #35 with cup of 10 ½ pills and administered the medication to
resident by mouth.
A record review post medication administration for resident #35 revealed an order dated 10/20/23 that read,
Aspirin tablet chewable 81 mg by mouth one time a day for myocardial infarction. The nurse omitted
medication for order dated 2/23/23 that read, Dextromethorphan-Quinidine capsule 20-10 mg give 1
capsule by mouth every 12 hours for PBA related to pseudobulbar affect.
On 1/8/24 at 10:52 AM, a follow up interview was conducted with RN B. The Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) facilitated interview with RN B who had difficulty with English as Spanish was her first language.
RN B proceeded to pull out medication card for resident #35 from the medication cart for Nuedexta 20-10
mg give 1 capsule by mouth every 12 hours. RN B said she did not give Nuedexta because she read
Dextromethorphan-Quinidine in the computer and did not realize it was the same drug as Nuedexta. RN B
admitted that she signed off giving the 9 AM dose although she did not administer the medication. RN B
said she gave enteric coated Aspirin because she did not have chewable form in her medication cart.
Dextromethorphan/quinidine, sold under the brand name Nuedexta, is a fixed-dose combination medication
for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect. (retrieved on 1/12/24 from https://en.wikipedia.org).
The ADON stated, prior to giving the medications RN B should have stopped and went to the medication
storage room to find the chewable form of aspirin.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Medication Administration published 12/4/23 read,
Meditations shall be administered in safe and timely manner, and as prescribed Medications must be
administered in accordance with orders The individual administering the medications must check the label
to verify the right medication

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure the menus/recipes were being
followed and failed to demonstrate that a reasonable effort was made to ensure the menu/food met the
needs of the residents. The facility also failed to ensure residents received foods based on the menus and
meal tray tickets for 1 of 3 sampled residents, #53, in a total sample of 57 residents.
Findings:
1. On 1/8/24 at 2:04 PM, a meeting was held with the resident council group. They conveyed their
displeasure with the menus and foods they were served. They expressed concerns that some of the meals
were not palatable and food portions were small. One resident stated he was to receive double portions
according to his meal tray ticket, but at times he did not receive double portions when the meal tray arrived
at his room. The residents all agreed the food items they received did not match the meal tray ticket which
identified their nutritional needs and food preferences. Several of the residents reported a few times, all they
received was starches but no protein foods. The residents discussed the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables
and said they received only canned fruits and/or frozen vegetables. Some residents stated they received a
salad which consisted of only lettuce. They noted there was an always available menu of sandwiches and
hamburgers in case they did not like the main entree but that sandwiches and hamburgers were not always
available. The residents reported both the Administrator and Certified Dietary Manager had attended
resident council meetings but had not made a reasonable effort to address their food concerns or make
changes to the menu.
2. Review of the lunch menu for 1/10/24 revealed the main entree consisted of Classic Meatloaf, Cheesy
Mashed Potatoes, Harvard Beats and Cinnamon Baked Apples. On 1/10/24 at 11:49 AM, the lunch tray line
was observed. The Cinnamon Baked apples were observed already portioned out, on a rack that had been
pulled out of the walk-in refrigerator. On 1/10/24 at 12:40 PM, a test tray of the foods noted above was
sampled. The Meatloaf was bland and the Cinnamon Baked Apples were cold. At 1:35 PM, the recipes for
the Meatloaf and the Cinnamon Baked Apples were requested from the cook, Registered Dietician (RD)
and the Regional dietary Director. The recipe for the Meatloaf noted for a 100 servings 5 raw onions and 5
green peppers would be required along with oil, eggs, black pepper, ground beef and breadcrumbs. If 150
servings were made then 7.5 Onions & [NAME] peppers would be required. The staff did not provide how
many servings of Meatloaf were made. The cook stated she brought out onions and 3 green peppers and
the CDM prepared the meatloaf. The cook added, I'm just defending myself. The recipe for the Cinnamon
Baked Apples consisted of sliced apples, brown sugar, water, salt ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg.
The apples were to baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes until the apples were tender. The
recipe noted to Serve warm. Neither the RD or the Regional Dietary Director explained why the Baked
Cinnamon Apples were served cold.
On 1/11/24 at 12:10 PM, yesterdays lunch was discussed with the CDM and the Regional Dietary Director.
The CDM explained there were onions in the meatloaf but admitted not having enough green peppers as
required by the recipe. He stated he was aware the Baked Cinnamon Apples were served cold and not
warm as per the recipe. He said in the past the kitchen staff had a difficult time trying to keep them warm
without burning. He noted they were not able to put the Cinnamon Baked Apples on the steam table due to
lack of space. The CDM and Regional Dietary Director could not explain why no one had spoken up about
the infeasibility of this dessert during menu review.

3. Resident #53 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Cerebral Palsy, Type II
Diabetes Mellitus, morbid obesity and hyperlipidemia.
Review of the Annual Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed resident #53 had adequate
hearing, clear speech and could understand and be understood. She was cognitively intact, required set up
assistance for eating and had a therapeutic diet per the assessment.
Resident #3 also had care plans for risk for nutritional complications and unstable blood sugar related to
her medical history. Interventions included dietary restrictions, following the nutritional plan, and for the
facility to provide and serve the diet as ordered.
A Nutrition Risk screen with Mini Nutritional assessment dated [DATE], revealed resident #53 had a regular
texture, carbohydrate-controlled diet with no food allergies and a good appetite. The assessment indicated
resident #53 desired to have small portion of starch-based foods and a large portion of vegetables for
better control of her blood sugar.
In an interview on 1/07/24 at 12:30 PM, resident #53 stated she has diabetes and would like to have better
control of her blood sugar levels but her meals often had too many carbohydrate type foods like rice,
potatoes and bread instead of her preferred vegetables. She stated she was not happy as the facility often
served her food she wasn't supposed to eat and said she was worried about her blood sugar levels being
too high. Resident #53 explained she was not expecting gourmand foods but would like to have some fresh
food sometimes, not just fruits and vegetables from a can.
On 1/07/24 at 12:52 PM, resident #53's lunch tray was on her bedside table. Her meal consisted of a
hamburger patty, canned or frozen carrots and stuffing. Resident #53's lunch ticket listed a salad and
dressing as part of the menu for that day's lunch, but she did not receive the salad and she stated she had
not had any fresh fruits or vegetable for some time.
On 1/08/24 at 12:45 PM, resident #53 was in her room with her lunch tray on her bedside table. Her lunch
ticket described a salad and dressing as part of her meal, but it was not present on her tray. A few minutes
later at 1:03 PM, the Registered Dietitian (RD) confirmed resident #53 was supposed to receive salad and
dressing as part of her lunch per her meal ticket but did not receive it. The RD said the menu for resident
#53 was not correct if the kitchen was not providing the foods as listed on her ticket. She said someone
should notify the residents if an item had to be changed because it was not available, and that the calorie
count for the resident was based on the items listed on the menu.
On 1/10/24 at 10:39 AM, the RD said she followed up with the manager of the kitchen about resident #53's
missing salad but was unable to give a reason why resident #53 had not received it as per the menu. She
said she explained to the kitchen manager that if a resident was not going to receive an item as described
on the menu, he must communicate it to the residents.

stated he did not have a shower.
On 1/9/24 at 11:02 PM, the shower scheduled was noted in a binder near the nurses station. The shower
schedule showed resident #40 was to have showers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on the 7AM to
3 PM shift. On 1/9/24 at 11:08 PM, showers were discussed with the resident's direct care Certified Nursing
Assistant, (CNA) K. She stated resident #40 had not asked her to give him a shower. On 1/9/24 at 4:04 PM,
the East Wing Unit Manager confirmed resident #40's shower days were on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays on the 7 AM to 3 PM shift. She stated the resident should had been showered today on the 7 AM

On 1/10/24 at 10:29 AM, the East Wing Unit Manager said she spoke to CNA K who told her resident #40
had refused a shower yesterday, and decided to have a bed bath. The Unit manager noted CNA K should
have documented the resident's shower refusal and should not have documented she gave the resident a
shower.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that
accurately documented completion of physician-ordered wound treatments for 1 of 7 residents reviewed for
pressure ulcers, (#44); oxygen administration for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care, (#57 & #28);
and provision of activities of daily living (ADL) care for 1 of 7 residents reviewed for ADLs, (#40), for 4 out of

On 1/08/24 at 11:12 AM, the Wound Nurse confirmed resident #44's wounds still had the same dressings
she applied the day before. She confirmed she applied the dressings on 1/07/24 at about 3:00 PM although
they were scheduled for 7:00 AM. The Wound Nurse verified the night shift nurse had not changed the
dressings as ordered.
Review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for January 2024 revealed on 1/07/24, the Wound
Nurse initialed the document as Jhnn to show she completed resident #44's sacral and right hip wound
treatments at 7:00 AM rather than the actual time the tasks were completed, at 3:00 PM. The TAR showed
the initials jls on 1/07/24 at 7:00 PM to indicate both wounds had dressing changes done on the night shift
in conflict which did not support investigative findings.
On 1/10/24 at 5:00 PM, the Regional Clinical Executive stated her expectation was nursing documentation
would accurately reflect nursing actions and resident status. The Assistant Director of Nursing verified it
was not acceptable for nurses to document any task that was not completed.
2. Review of the medical record revealed resident #57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted from the hospital on [DATE]. His diagnoses included traumatic brain injury, pneumonia, acute
and chronic respiratory failure with low oxygen levels, bronchial disease, collapse of the lung(s) and heart
failure.
Review of the medical record revealed resident #57 had a physician order dated 11/17/23 for continuous
supplemental oxygen at 2 liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula. Physician orders dated 11/18/23
indicated nurses were to change the resident's oxygen tubing and nasal cannula weekly every Friday
during the night shift, and as needed for hygiene.
Observations of resident #57 on 1/07/24 at 11:48 AM, 1/07/24 at 2:24 PM, and 1/08/24 at 11:19 AM,
revealed he did not have oxygen infusing via nasal cannula. There was no oxygen concentrator machine in
the resident's room.
On 1/08/24 at 12:32 PM, resident #57's assigned nurse, Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) H, confirmed the
resident did not have oxygen applied and there was no oxygen concentrator machine in his room.
Review of the TARs from November 2023 to January 2024 revealed the the physician order for continuous
oxygen at 2 L/min was never transcribed to the document, but an order for oxygen use for shortness of
breath, every shift, was noted. The TAR was initialed on 1/07/24 day shift by JeGi and 1/07/24 night shift by
Fs10 to verify resident #57's use of oxygen although he did not have oxygen during that time. There were
no associated nursing notes related to clarification of the physician order regarding oxygen settings. The
TARs showed nurses' initials to confirm the resident's oxygen tubing and nasal cannula were replaced
every Friday night.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Charting and Documentation, dated 4/01/22 read, All
services provided to the resident, or any changes in the resident's medical or mental condition, shall be
documented in the resident's medical record. The policy revealed documentation of procedures and
treatments should include care-specific details such as the date and time the procedure or treatment was
completed, the resident's tolerance of the treatment, assessment findings, and any refusals.
3. Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease,
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure and shortness of breath.

Review of the Order Summary Report revealed a physician's order for oxygen delivered by a nasal cannula
(NC) at 3 liters per minute (LPM), continuously every shift dated 6/09/23.
On 1/07/24 at 12:15 PM, resident #28 was observed in bed wearing a NC connected to an oxygen
concentrator set at 1.5 LPM. Resident #28 was alert and oriented to person, place and situation, but she
was not sure what her oxygen flow rate was supposed to be.
On 1/07/24 at 2:45 PM, the resident was in bed with a NC connected to the oxygen concentrator set at 1.5
LPM.
On 1/08/24 at 11:14 AM, resident #28 was sitting in bed and had NC connected to the oxygen concentrator
that was set at 1/5 LPM.
On 1/09/24 at 9:28 AM, resident #28 was in bed, and her NC was on the floor under her bed. It was still
connected to the oxygen concentrator set at 1.5 LPM. At 9:45 AM, Registered Nurse (RN) D confirmed
resident #28 was not wearing her NC and the oxygen concentrator was set at 1.5 LPM. RN D was not sure
what rate resident #28's oxygen was ordered by the physician. RN D stated she was supposed to check the
oxygen concentrator setting but said she had not done it. RN D checked the electronic physician orders and
noted resident #28's oxygen was ordered to be flowing at 3 LPM not 1.5.
Review of the Medication Administration Record for January 2024 revealed nurses documented resident
#28's oxygen was set at 3 LPM via NC on all 3 shifts on 1/07/24 and 1/08/24 contrary to the observations of
the actual setting of 1.5 LPM .
On 1/10/24 at 4:59 PM, the Regional Nurse stated her expectation was nurses accurately document what
was done, and not document what had not actually been done. She confirmed best practice for nurses was
to verify oxygen delivery and settings during rounds and document their findings accurately.

Residents Affected - Many
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 ensure the Quality Assurance and Performance
Improvement (QAPI) program developed and implemented timely and appropriate plans of action to prevent
repeat deficient practices related to respiratory care, pressure ulcer care, nurse staffing postings and
kitchen sanitation.
Findings:
Cross reference F686, F695, F732 and F812
Review of the facility's survey history revealed repeat deficiencies related to the delivery of oxygen per
physician orders, provision of preventive care for pressure ulcers, retaining and posting of daily nurse
staffing sheets and the cleanliness and sanitation of the kitchen during the current survey ending 1/11/24.
Past deficiencies revealed systemic concerns with comparable findings on the previous recertification
survey of 5/31/22 for pressure ulcer care and prevention, posting and retaining of daily nurse staffing forms,
and following physician orders for oxygen delivery. As well as a repeat deficiency for sanitation of food
surfaces in the kitchen from a recent complaint survey on 12/14/23.
Review of the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Policy and Procedure with most
recent revision date of April 2022 revealed the purpose and guidelines for implementation, To provide
continuous evaluation of (company name) systems with the objectives of keeping systems functioning
satisfactorily; preventing deviation from care processes; discerning issues and concerns; providing points of
accountability for ensuring quality of care and quality of life; allowing the Facility to deal with quality
deficiencies in a confidential manner; and correcting inappropriate care processes. The document further
described QAPI as a multi-level management process that must be ongoing and facility wide. The
procedure section detailed the facility's QAPI would take action aimed at performance improvement and
would prioritize problem prone areas. The document further described the facility would measure the
success of the improvements and track the performance to ensure they were realized and sustained.
On 1/11/24 at 4:11 PM, a meeting was held to discuss the facility's QAPI program with the Executive
Director of Clinical Services, the Administrator, the Social Service Director and the Director of Nursing. The
Executive Director of Clinical Services stated their new company took over the facility in May of 2023 and
started a new QAPI agenda in November 2023. She described how their QAPI looked at previous action
plans, reports by department heads, mock survey results and review of regulatory compliance in order to
determine what areas they would focus on. The Administrator stated QAPI went over a lot of things and
gave him a recap of those things to which he gave his input. He stated he was unaware of what concerns or
citations the facility had on the last survey. The group was asked how they ensured the work of the QAPI
program was effective to prevent repeat deficiencies? The Administrator then stated they were very aware
of past survey history and what was received. He explained the committee knew there were previous
concerns with pressure wounds but was not able to provide an explanation of what the committee did to
ensure previous concerns were not a continued problem. The Administrator and the Executive Director of
Clinical Services acknowledged the facility was unaware of the concerns brought to their attention over the
course of the current survey which included repeat deficiencies. They were unable to give an explanation as
to how the facility QAPI ensured any problems identified and addressed by the committee were realized
and sustained.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow accepted standards of practice to
prevent cross-contamination during wound care for 1 of 2 residents observed during wound care, (#44) to
control and prevent infections for 2 out of a total sample of 57 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), paraplegia, dementia,
comprehension/communication disorder, stroke, contractures of all extremities, and pressure ulcers of the
left hip and sacrum.
The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel defines a pressure ulcer or pressure injury as localized
damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence.The injury can present as
intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful (retrieved on 1/14/24 from www.npiap.com).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 11/28/23 revealed
resident #44 had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The document showed the
resident exhibited no behavioral symptoms and did not reject evaluation or care that was necessary to
achieve her goals for health and well-being. The MDS assessment indicated resident #44 had two
unhealed, facility-acquired, stage 4 pressure injuries. The document described a stage 4 wound as full
thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. that might also have some necrotic or dead
tissue. The resident received skin and ulcer treatments including pressure injury care, ointments, and
medications.
Review of resident #44's medical record revealed a care plan initiated on 8/03/23 for impaired skin integrity
related to a pressure ulcer on her sacrum, an infection wound on her right hip, and a pressure ulcer on her
left hip that had a wound vacuum in place. The care plan goal was the resident's wounds would exhibit
signs and symptoms of healing with continued treatment. The interventions included obtain and provide
treatment as ordered by the physician.
The resident had a care plan for an active wound infection of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA). MRSA is caused by a type of bacteria that is resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat
ordinary infections (retrieved on 1/14/24 from
www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mrsa/symptoms-causes/syc-20375336). The care plan indicated
the resident received antibiotics to treat the infection and was on contact isolation precautions as the
infection represented an increased risk for contact transmission of the organism.
Review of the Order Listing Report revealed resident #44 had physician orders dated 12/22/23 for wound
treatments to her sacrum and right hip. The orders instructed nurses to cleanse the areas with wound
cleanser, pat dry, apply collagen powder to the wound beds, then apply absorbent fiber dressings and
cover with gauze island border dressings.
On 1/07/24 at 2:36 PM, the facility's Wound Nurse stated resident #44's sacral pressure wound had been
declining and the wound specialist physician ordered a wound culture that showed the resident had a
MRSA infection. She stated the resident currently received antibiotic injections and all staff who worked
with her were required to wear disposable gloves and gowns to prevent the transmission of

MRSA. She explained resident #44's right hip wound was not a pressure injury as it started as a skin
infection.
On 1/07/24 at 2:46 PM, prior to observation of resident #44's wound care, the Wound Nurse placed all
treatment supplies and gloves on a styrofoam tray and took them to the resident's room. She placed two
paper towels on the tray table and set the styrofoam tray on top of them. The Wound Nurse donned clean
gloves and then realized she did not have a trash can nearby. She asked the Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) who stood on the other side of the bed to give her the trash can, then she walked to the foot of the
bed to retrieve it. The Wound Nurse held the trash can with both gloved hands and placed it under the tray
table. She removed her gloves, dropped them in the trash can and retrieved a clean pair of gloves from the
styrofoam tray. She donned the clean gloves without performing hand hygiene and reached towards the
treatment supplies on the tray table. The Wound Nurse was prompted to remove her gloves and perform
hand hygiene before donning clean gloves to start wound care. After washing her hands and donning clean
gloves, the Wound Nurse removed the soiled dressing with a moderate amount of drainage from resident
#44's sacrum, dropped it in the trash can, and with the soiled gloves, she touched items on the the
styrofoam tray as she selected a gauze pad and a tube of wound cleanser. Next, the Wound Care Nurse
wiped the resident's infected sacral wound, dropped the gauze pad in the trash can, and removed her
soiled gloves. She applied another pair of clean gloves, without performing hand hygiene, and completed
the dressing as ordered. The Wound Nurse removed the gloves, washed her hands and returned to the tray
table with treatment supplies. She donned clean gloves, removed the soiled dressing from resident #44's
right hip wound, and disposed of the soiled dressing and gloves in the trash can. She then donned clean
gloves, again without performing hand hygiene, and cleansed the wound. She disposed of the gauze pad
and gloves in the trash can and retrieved another pair of gloves. She failed to wash her hands or use hand
sanitizer, and donned the gloves to continue wound care and apply the dressing as ordered. The Wound
Nurse stated she was not sure if hand hygiene was required after removing soiled gloves and before
donning clean gloves. She was not familiar with the facility's policy and procedures related to changing
gloves after removing a soiled dressing to avoid cross-contamination of treatment supplies and other
wounds. The Wound Nurse explained she kept hand sanitizer in the treatment cart and usually brought it
into rooms to do wound care and treatments. However, she stated resident #44 was on contact isolation for
an infection and she did not want to take any items into the room and return them to the treatment cart.
On 1/10/24 at 5:16 PM, the Director of Nursing stated the Wound Nurse received specialized training in
wound care and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed she had verified the Wound Nurse's
competencies. They acknowledged appropriate performance of hand hygiene during wound care was
essential for infection prevention and they expected nurses to follow the facility's policy and professional
standards for wound care. The ADON confirmed the Wound Nurse could have obtained a designated
container of hand sanitizer and left it in resident #44's room.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Clean Dressing Change, dated 4/01/23, revealed the table
used for treatment supplies should be cleaned with a germicidal wipe prior to establishing a clean field and
a trash can should be placed within reach. The document indicated next, the nurse would remove gloves,
perform hand hygiene, set up supplies on the barrier, perform hand hygiene again, and apply clean gloves.
The procedure instructed nurses to remove the soiled dressing , place it in the trash can, remove gloves,
and perform hand hygiene, and don clean gloves. After cleansing the wound and patting the area dry,
gloves should be removed, followed by hand hygiene and placement of clean gloves to complete the
dressing change.
