Based on record review, and staff interview the facility failed to ensure accuracy of the Minimum Data Set
(MDS) assessment related to falls for 1 (Residents #60) of 3 residents reviewed for falls. This has the
potential to lead to delayed care planning and services for the resident affected.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the clinical record showed Resident #60 had an admission date of 1/16/19.
The facility's incident log noted Resident #60 sustained a fall at the facility on 11/5/21 and 12/12/21.
The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of

Assist a resident in gaining access to vision and hearing services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure they arranged for a follow up re-evaluation
with the ophthalmologist as required for 1 (Resident #94) of 1 resident who had visual complications. The
failure to arrange and ensure follow-up ophthalmologist visits are conducted timely has the potential to lead
a loss of vision and a deterioration of the resident's quality of life.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
On 2/9/22 at 1:37 p.m., in an interview Resident #94 said when she saw the ophthalmologist last year, he
told her the reason for her blurred vision was because she had cataracts and would need surgery in the
future to fix her blurred vision. He told her he would do a follow-up visit in several months to do a
re-evaluation of her vision to determine if she was a candidate for cataract surgery.
Resident #94 said the ophthalmologist never came back as promised to do the re-evaluation of her eyes to
determine if she was a candidate for cataract surgery. She said for the past several months her vision had
gotten worse and when she asked the nursing staff when the ophthalmologist would be doing her follow-up
eye visit, they would tell her they didn't know when the ophthalmologist was coming to the facility, and no
one would call the ophthalmologist's office to determine when he would be doing her follow-up visit.
On 2/9/22 at 2:05 p.m., in an interview with Staff I, License Practical Nurse (LPN), she said when a resident
and/or family member told her they would like to have an eye exam or get a new pair of glasses she would
inform the Social Service Director (SSD) of their request, and they would let the ophthalmologist arrange for
a visit. She said she doesn't think the facility had a policy or procedure in place to ensure the
ophthalmologist did their initial and any follow-up visits. She said she thought the SSD was responsible to
ensure all ophthalmologist appointments were completed as ordered and timely.
On 2/9/22 review of Resident #94's medical record revealed a physician's order dated 5/11/2019 for
ophthalmology, podiatry and dental services as needed.
An ophthalmology progress note dated 4/29/21 stated Resident #94 had mild cataracts in both eyes. The
ophthalmologist wrote he discussed with Resident #94 that due to the possible deterioration of her retina,
this could cause gradual loss of vision, but surgery was not needed at that time. The physician further wrote
he explained to the resident if she experienced a sudden loss of vision or an increase of blurriness to
inform the nurse who could schedule a follow-up and re-evaluation of Resident #94's eyes. The physician
wrote he would do a follow-up and re-evaluation in 6 to 7 months. The progress note was signed 5/2/21 by
the ophthalmologist.
Further review of the medical records revealed no documentation Resident #94 had the follow-up and/or
re-evaluation of her eyes as documented in the 4/29/21 ophthalmologist progress notes.
On 2/9/22 at 4:14 p.m., during an interview with SSD, she said she had been the SSD at the facility since
10/2018. She said when a resident, family or staff informed her a resident was requesting an eye exam she
would gather the needed information and fax it to the ophthalmologist's office, who then would put the
resident on their schedule to be seen by the physician. She said the ophthalmologist does not inform the
facility of the dates of his visit or which facility residents he will be seeing the day of their visit to the facility.
She said when the ophthalmologist has finished all his

said the facility did not have a policy, procedure or tracking tool in place to ensure to ensure
ophthalmologist initial visits and follow-up visits were conducted in a timely manner as of this time.
The SSD reviewed Resident #94's medical record and confirmed the ophthalmologist progress note dated
4/29/21 stated he would be conducting a follow-up and re-evaluation of Resident #94's eyes in 6 to 7
months. The SSD said the ophthalmologist did not conduct Resident #94's follow-up and re-evaluation visit
as documented in the 4/29/21 progress note. She said she was unaware Resident #94's follow-up visit was
not conducted as required.
On 2/10/22 at 11:54 a.m., in an interview with the Director of Nursing and Administrator, they said the
facility did not have a policy and/or procedure in place to ensure all ophthalmologist initial and follow-up

Based on observation, record review and staff interview the facility failed to administer medication
according to the manufacturer's specification and physician's orders for 2 (Resident #50 and #349) of 3
residents observed for medication administration. Three Licensed nurses and 26 opportunities were
observed. Four medication errors were identified resulting in a 15.38 % error rate.

The findings included:
The facility's policy Administering Medications revised April 2019 reads, Medications are administered in a
safe and timely manner, and as prescribed . Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber
orders, including time frame . Medications are administered within one (1) hour of their prescribed time,
unless otherwise specified .
1. On 2/9/22 at 9:02 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff J was observed administering 11 different
medications to Resident #50, including Breo Ellipta 100-25 micrograms inhaler and Incruse Ellipta 62.5
micrograms inhaler.
LPN Staff J placed both inhalers on the table in front of the Resident. Resident #50 administered one
inhalation of the Incruse Ellipta orally, immediately followed by one oral inhalation of the Breo Ellipta. LPN
Staff J administered the rest of the oral medications to the resident with a glass of water.
Upon reconciliation of the observation with the physician's orders, it was revealed the orders for the Incruse
Ellipta and Breo Ellipta specified to rinse mouth after each use, do not swallow.
Review of the manufacturer's patient information insert for the Breo Ellipta showed Breo Ellipta can cause
serious side effects, including fungal infection in the mouth or throat (Thrush).
The patients instructions specify to rinse the mouth with water after using the inhaler, spit the water out, do
not swallow the water to help reduce the chance of getting thrush.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Based on observation, record review, resident and staff interview the facility failed to distribute meal in a
manner to ensure 1 (Resident #3) of 2 residents observed received the correct meal to accommodate
resident's documented allergies and preferences.
The findings included:
On 2/8/22 at 12:11 p.m., Resident #3 was observed with untouched lunch tray in front of him and not
eating. In an interview Resident #3 said, They know that I am not to get fish and they gave me tuna fish. I'm
not going to eat it. I have told them I can't have fish.
Resident #3 lifted the cover of the lunch dish. A tuna fish sandwich was observed on the plate.
A review of the meal ticket showed the meal tray belonged to Resident #93.
On 2/8/22 at 12:14 p.m., observation of Resident #93's tray showed a meal ticket that bore Resident #3's
name and indicated he was to receive no fish or seafood.
On 2/9/22 at 12:15 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Staff C confirmed Resident #3 received the
wrong meal tray. CNA Staff C said, it's a big problem since Resident #3's meal ticket documented no fish,
he could be allergic.
On 2/9/22 at 4:16 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing, (DON), said the expectation for resident
identification for meal tray distribution was, to check the ticket, the name on the door and verify that the
correct resident receives the correct tray. She said it is the responsibility of the nursing staff, nurses and
CNAs, to confirm they give the correct trays to each resident.
