Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Some
room during this observation, but the area near her bed revealed the strong odor. The bed for Resident #39
was a low bed with a specialty air mattress, that was flanked by two regular thick mattresses used as fall
mats. Both Residents #37 and #39 were totally dependent upon staff for all care needs.
During an interview on 07/07/25 at 11:27 AM, Resident #45 voiced a concern that there was less staff on
the weekends. The resident explained that during the week there were four housekeepers, one for each
unit, but on the weekends, there were only two. The resident voiced it took longer to get their rooms cleaned
and they weren't cleaned as well as during the week. She voiced concerns with picking up germs and
stated she had to be careful because it wasn't as clean as it could be.
An observation on 07/08/25 at 3:46 PM revealed Resident #39 lying on the thick mattress on the floor to the
left side of her bed. The resident was uncovered, wearing a top with an adult brief, moving about the
mattress with involuntary jerky movements. A large wet spot was noted on the fitted sheet under the
resident. The urine odor remained in the room. Staff B, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was sitting in a
chair watching her, as the resident had been put on one-to-one observation. Upon entering the room, the
CNA stated, she's a tough one.
On 07/09/25 at 9:59 AM, Staff A, CNA, was sitting with Resident #39. Staff A confirmed she smelled the
urine odor. When asked why there was an odor in the room, the CNA stated they don't have any incontinent
pads for the beds, so when the resident urinates, it goes through the fitted sheet and into the mattress.
When asked if they had either the plastic or cloth pads the CNA stated they had none.
An observation of all four laundry carts, one on each hall, on 07/09/25 at 10:12 AM, lacked any
incontinence pads. During an interview at that time, the Housekeeping Director stated they do have the
cloth incontinence pads, and that they were put out on the carts that morning. When told there was none
available to staff at the present time, the Housekeeping Director stated they must be in the laundry.
Observation in the laundry revealed a large bin of dried linens. Staff stated there were some incontinence
pads in that bin. Only one was observed at that time, although staff did not dig into the pile of clean laundry.
The Housekeeping Director explained the carts were restocked during lunch for linen use in the afternoon.
Upon entering the room of Resident #39 on 07/09/25 at 12:24 PM, the urine odor was noted. Resident #39
had finished lunch, and a large puddle was noted under her Broda chair (a specialty recliner type
wheelchair). When asked if the observed puddle was urine, Staff A confirmed it was and explained the
resident's adult brief doesn't stay in place because of her movements. The CNA was placing fitted sheets
on the resident's bed and mattress to the left. Observation revealed the sheets were threadbare in larges
spots on one of the sheets, and over approximately a quarter of the second sheet. Photographic Evidence
Obtained.
During an interview on 07/10/25 at 11:35 AM, the Housekeeping Director explained there was a deep
cleaning schedule so that all rooms were deep cleaned at least once a month. When asked about the
process for odorous rooms and or mattresses, the Housekeeping Director explained they would clean the
rooms as needed and the Maintenance Director, who was also present at that time, stated they would
replace the mattresses as needed. When asked if he had changed out any mattresses that week, the
Maintenance Director was not sure. When asked about the room for Resident #37 and #39, the
Maintenance Director thought they had changed out the mattresses but was unsure when. The Directors
were informed of the concerns observed and smelled throughout the week. An observation was made of
the room at that time, with the two Directors, who both agreed with the findings. When shown the photo of

06/19/25.
An observation on 07/10/25 at 12:56 PM of all four laundry carts on the four units lacked any incontinence
pads. An observation in the laundry at that time revealed a total of 9 cloth incontinence pads available for
staff use and being restocked on the carts. Photographic Evidence Obtained. Laundry staff said there are
some in the one cart being folded, and in the dryer, although none were observed. During an interview at
that time, the Director of Nursing stated the cloth incontinent pads were for use on all the beds, and the
plastic ones were used during wound care.
During a supplemental interview on 07/10/25 at 12:59 PM, the Housekeeping Director stated she always
has a box of cloth incontinent pads available in storage so that she could replace them as needed. When
asked why they are not available on the carts for the staff to use she currently, the Director stated, Just
because I keep getting pulled in different directions.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for
1 of 5 sampled residents, Resident #39, related to antipsychotic use, and for 1 of 10 sampled residents,
Resident #37, related to weights.The findings included:1) Review of the record revealed Resident #39 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE]
documented the resident was taking an antipsychotic medication, and that a Gradual Dose Reduction
(GDR) for the antipsychotic was both attempted on 01/14/25 and was contraindicated on 01/14/25.Further
review of the record revealed Resident #39 was ordered Risperdal, an antipsychotic medication, since
08/11/22, and that the dose of the medication had not been changed. Further review of the psychiatric
progress noted dated 01/14/25 documented the dosing of the Risperdal should be done by neurology as
the medication was ordered for a neurological condition, Huntington's disease. This progress note lacked
any contraindication to a GDR for the Risperdal.During a side-by-side record review and interview on
07/09/25 at 10:35 AM, the MDS Coordinator confirmed the findings, further stating the resident's Ativan, an
antianxiety medication and classed as a psychotropic medication, not an antipsychotic medication, was
discontinued at that time. The MDS Coordinator stated there had not been a change in the antipsychotic
medication since 2022 and she was unable to locate any contraindication for a GDR on 01/14/25, as
incorrectly documented on that MDS assessment.2) Review of the record revealed Resident #37 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current MDS assessment dated [DATE], documented in
section K that the resident weighed 134 pounds.Further review of the electronic medical record revealed on
05/07/25, the most current weight prior to the assessment date, documented the resident weighed 132
pounds.During an interview on 07/09/25 at 1:11 PM, when asked how she obtained weights for section K of
the MDS assessment, the Registered Dietician (RD) stated she gets the weights directly from the electronic
medical record and uses the weight right before the assessment date. When told of the inconsistency
between the weight in the assessment and the weight in the electronic medical record for Resident #37, the
RD stated she would review the concern. During a supplemental interview on 07/09/25 at 1:25 PM, the RD
agreed with the finding.

asked about triggers and what should be avoided, the RN replied, “Probably not getting what he
wants, or forgetting his tray and he will feel like he is abandoned. They are very good with him and with
getting him in his chair. I have only been here for about a month and a half.”
During an interview, on 07/09/25 at approximately 2:30 PM, with Staff G, LPN, when asked about providing
care to Resident #61, Staff G replied, he is okay, he is not violent. Sometimes when you provide care, he is
combative and then you can talk to him, and he will calm down. When asked about Resident #61 having
PTSD, Staff G replied, “they have a past history of anxiety, he had a stroke and has left sided
weakness.”
During an interview, on 07/09/25 at 3:50 PM, with Staff H, CNA, when asked about Resident having PTSD,
Staff H replied, I did not know he had PTSD.
During an interview, on 07/09/25 at 3:54 PM, with the MDS Coordinator, since 06/03/25, the MDS
Coordinator acknowledged that there was no care plan to address Resident #61's PTSD prior to Surveyor

prescribe Permethrin 5 % (for treatment of scabies) cream for a one-time dose and reevaluate the rash
after treatment for effectiveness. During an interview with Resident #35 at 07/09/25 at 8:32 AM, when she
was asked how the rash on her face is, the resident stated It itches and that's not the only area the rash is
on, it's all on my neck. It feels like something is biting me. When asked had the staff applied any medication
for the itching, Resident #35 stated, No.During a skin assessment on 07/09/25 at 1:30 PM with Staff I,

out a treatment record that indicated the resident had received a one-time treatment of Permethrin cream
on 07/06/25. When asked if she knew if the resident had any other treatments for itching ordered or when
will she be reassessed by the nurse practitioner (NP), she stated No, she doesn't have any other treatment
ordered. The UM read the progress note in the resident's record written by the NP on 7/05/25. Suddenly,
she placed a call to the NP and asked her when she will follow with Resident #35 for reassessment of the
skin rash as stated in her note. The UM stated, The NP said she usually follows up with the resident seven
days following treatment and the resident should be seen by dermatology. When asked if or when will
Resident #35 be seen by dermatology, she stated I will have to let you know. The UM did not give any follow
up information regarding the dermatologist. During an interview on 07/09/25 at 1: 58PM with the Medical

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to follow physician orders for treatment of a
facility acquired pressure ulcer for 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed for pressure ulcers, as evidenced by
not changing the dressing, as ordered for Resident #13 pressure ulcer.The findings included: Record
review revealed Resident #13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data
Set assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
score of 02, on a 0-15 scale, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of a pressure injury

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
policy review, observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure care and services, and
supervision to prevent falls, for 1 of 4 sampled residents, as evidenced by Resident #39 having had eight
falls since 05/01/25, with six being from her chair. The three most recent falls occurred while Resident #39
was in her Broda chair, the newest of intervention as of 06/19/25. The facility also failed to ensure the
provision of two neurology consults for increased involuntary movements related to Huntington's Disease,
which was care planned as part of the resident's risk for falls.The findings included:Review of the policy Fall
Prevention Program (not dated), documented in part, Policy: Each resident will be assessed for fall risk and
will receive care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood
of falls. 4. Risk Protocols: . g. Provide interventions that address unique risk factors: medications,
psychological, cognitive status, or recent change in functional status. h. Provide additional interventions as
directed by the resident's assessment, including but not limited to: . ii. Increased frequency of rounds iii.
Sitter, if indicated . Review of the record revealed Resident #39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses to include Huntington's Disease, repeated falls, and abnormal involuntary movements. Review of
the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) comprehensive assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident
had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 0, on a scale of 0 to 15, indicating severe cognitive
impairment. This MDS assessment documented the resident was totally dependent upon staff for all
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and had two or more falls since the prior assessment of 12/29/24.Review of
the current physician orders include a neurology consult dated 10/29/24 for increased involuntary
movements related to Huntington's Disease. The record lacked any evidence that the consult had been
completed, and it remained an active order in the record at the time of the survey.A current care plan
initiated on 09/09/20 documented in part that Resident #39 was at further high risk for falls with injury
related to ongoing progressive loss of functional abilities. This care plan included an intervention dated
05/09/25 for a neurology consult.All Fall Risk Assessments in the medical record documented Resident #39
as a high risk for falls. The Risk Manager was asked to locate and provide evidence of the investigation for
all falls from 05/01/25 to the present time.Review of progress notes and post-fall investigations revealed the
following:a) On 05/09/25 at 2:45 PM Resident #39 was found on the floor, having slid off her chair. The root
cause analysis was that the resident had Huntington's Disease with involuntary movements with an
evaluation for a Geri-chair (a recliner-type wheelchair).b) On 05/12/25 at 11:00 AM Resident #39 was
sitting on her bed and slipped off the bed onto the floor. The root cause analysis was documented as the
resident had Huntington's Disease that caused her to roll off the floor mat and onto the floor. This
contradicted the documented eyewitness statement by the Staff Developer who saw the resident slip off the
bed and the mattress was in an upright position and not on the floor during the event. Therapy services
were to evaluate for a Geri-chair.A physician's progress note dated 05/12/25 at 1:48 PM documented, in
part, . Assessment/Plan: . Huntington's disease: . needs close supervision secondary to involuntary
movements.c) A progress note dated 05/12/25 at 2:26 PM documented, Observed resident on floor next to
bed. The facility did not provide any investigation for this event. A subsequent physician's progress note
dated 05/13/25 at 12:03 PM documented the resident found to have 2 falls in the last 24 hours . Fall
prevention protocols. Continue with nursing supervision. Follow neurology. Continue supportive treatment.d)
On 05/20/25 at 8:35 AM, Resident #39 was sitting in her chair, waiting for breakfast, during meal tray pass.

to the right, and fell out of wheelchair.During an observation and interview on 07/09/25 at 9:59 AM,
Resident #39 was noted in her room in the Broda chair with Staff A, CNA. The CNA confirmed the resident
was now on one-to-one care and further stated it was very difficult due to the resident's spastic movement.
When asked if the resident had been on one-to-one care before, the CNA stated maybe in the past but just
for a short time.During an interview on 07/09/25 at 10:17 AM, the Unit Manager was asked about the
neurology consults from October 2024 and May 2025. The Unit Manager stated she would look into it.
During a subsequent interview that afternoon, the Unit Manager stated she believed the lack of neurology
appointments in the past was related to insurance issues, but she now has one for August 2025. The Unit
Manager was asked to provide documentation of what happened with the two previous appointments that
were not completed.On 07/10/25 at 1:04 PM, the DON reported she found where an appointment was

Resident #7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the quarterly assessment dated [DATE],
documented a Brief Interview Mental Status score of 09 on a 0-15 scale, indicating moderate cognitive
impairment. During observation of medication administration on 07/08/25 at 9:05 AM, Staff J was observed
preparing and administering medications for Resident #7. As she prepared the medications, she stated
what each one of the medications were. After she prepared each medication, the name of the resident was
verified with the medication label for each medication she prepared. Staff J, LPN poured Enulose
(medication for increased ammonia) in a clear medicine cup and the resident's name was verified with the
bottle. The bottle of Enulose was noted to have a different resident's name on the mediation label. The
bottle of Enulose was given back toe Staff J, LPN and she placed it back in the medication cart. She placed
a cup of five pills and a cup of Enulose on a white styrofoam tray and carried them to the resident's room.
After Resident #7 put the pills in his mouth Staff J offered him a drink of water from a white styrofoam cup
with a straw that was already sitting on his bedside table. During a brief conversation on 07/08/25 at
9:16AM, Staff J was asked to show the bottle of Enulose that she poured the dose from to administer to
Resident #7. She went into the medication cart and handed the bottle of Enulose with another resident's

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to obtain a laboratory test for 1 of 5 sampled residents
reviewed for laboratory testing. (Resident #8). The findings included: A review of the clinical record for
Resident #8 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of Anxiety
Disorder, Depression, and Psychotic Disorder. A physician's order on the same day specified that
Divalproex Sodium Oral Tablet Delayed Release 125 mg should be administered orally twice daily for mood
disorder. Additionally, the physician ordered a valproic acid level to be measured on 06/01/2025. However,
the records lacked documented evidence of the valproic acid test result.On 07/10/2025 at 12:29 PM, an
interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON), during which a side-by-side review of
Resident #8's records occurred. The DON acknowledged the absence of the valproic acid result and
promptly contacted the Unit Manager, requesting a follow-up with the laboratory service regarding the
missing test. A subsequent interview with the DON at 1:40 PM confirmed that the result was still
unavailable. She indicated that the unit manager had contacted the laboratory and was informed they did
not have the result.Valproic acid is a test conducted when using the medication Divalproex. Levels are
measured in the blood to ensure the medication is within the therapeutic range, which helps to ensure
effectiveness while minimizing side effects.Elevated levels can suggest an increased risk of toxicity,
potentially causing symptoms like nausea and drowsiness, or more serious issues like liver damage.Low
levels may indicate that the medication is not sufficiently effective, which could increase the risk of seizures
or mood swings.
