F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for 3 of 8 residents, Residents #73, #103, and #87, reviewed for MDS assessments. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1) Review of Resident #73's physician order dated 5/3/2025 read, NPO [Nothing by Mouth] diet, Not applicable texture, NPO consistency. Review of Resident #73's speech therapy evaluation dated 5/8/2025 read Clinical Bedside Assessment of Swallowing: Dysphagia: Pt [patient] requiring suctioning of oral secretions. Unable to elicit volitional or reflexive swallow. At this time, not appropriate for PO [oral] trials due to poor oral manipulation, control of ability to initiate a swallow. Review of Resident #73's MDS admission dated 5/9/2025 read Section K0100. Swallowing Disorder, Check all that apply. No areas under this section were marked to acknowledge Resident #73 suffered a swallowing disorder.

Review of Resident #73's MDS admission dated 5/9/2025 read, Section O0110.D1. Suctioning: there was no entry documented/marked for suctioning. During an interview on 5/29/2025 at 11:00 AM, Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse/Minimum Data Set Coordinator (LPN/MDSC) stated, It [suctioning] wasn't marked on the MAR [Medication Administration Record], so I didn't mark it. During an interview on 5/29/2025 at 3:00 PM the Registered Dietician (RD) stated, It [swallowing disorder] should have been marked. I usually wait until Speech has completed their evaluation, but their evaluation was complete on 5/8/2025.

F 0641 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Specialist, stated, I don't see that [Resident #87's name] was currently or previously receiving an antipsychotic medication. I marked that in error. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 2:45 PM the DON stated, Accuracy for the MDS evaluations is important. Having [Resident #87's name] MDS Evaluation marked 'yes' for receiving antipsychotic medications was another human error. I expect the correct medications and diagnoses to be documented. 3) During an observation on 5/27/25 at 2:11 PM, Resident #103 had a dual lumen, central venous catheter in his right upper chest. (Photographic evidence obtained) Review of Resident #103's medical diagnoses included the following, pneumonia, unspecified organism; methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere; dependence on renal dialysis. Review of Resident #103's MDS Evaluation dated 5/8/25 documented the following, Section C - BIMS 13, (cognition intact). Section I - I1700. Multidrug-Resistant Organism (MDRO) - the documented response was No, and I2000. Pneumonia - the documented response was, No. Section N - High risk medications: antibiotic. Section O - O0110-Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs: documented No for A.2 - IV [intravenous]; No for H.1 - IV Medications; No for O1. IV Access; and No for O4. - Central. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 10:51 AM Staff B, LPN, Care Plan Specialist stated, We utilized the RAI [Resident Assessment Instrument] Manual as our policy for completing MDS evaluations. The reason pneumonia was marked as 'no' for [Resident #103'sname] during the MDS evaluation conducted on 5/8/25 was that he was not actively receiving treatment for it, and that the reason antibiotics were marked as a 'no' was because he was not ordered to receive them in the facility when he was admitted . The 'Central' in the section regarding IV access should have been marked 'yes,' and there is not an explanation for why multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO) was marked 'no.' During an interview on 5/29/25 at 2:00 PM, the DON stated, All newly admitted residents are reviewed at the Morning Meeting the following day, and the review includes the residents' orders and any new diagnoses. The MDS staff attend the Morning Meetings to hear the information in order to complete the MDS evaluations. The omission of [Resident #103's name] having a central venous catheter and the diagnosis of MRSA [methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus]; MRSA is considered a MDRO [multidrug-resistant organism] and the mistake was due to human error.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain appropriate grooming and personal hygiene for 1 of 3 residents, Resident #61, reviewed for Activities of Daily Living. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: During an interview on 05/27/25 at 11:47 AM, Resident #61 stated, My shower days are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, but that I'm lucky to get a shower once a week. My preference is to have showers on my scheduled shower days. Review of Resident #61's Task List documentation for the period of 5/1/25 through 5/29/25 documented Resident #61 received showers on 5/1/25, 5/24/25, and 5/29/25, with no documentation of other bath or shower provided for the 30 days. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 9:05 AM Staff U, CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, We try to get each resident up and to the shower at least once a week. I'm not sure how often [Resident #61's name] receives a shower. We are supposed to document it in POC and in the shower book when the resident is bathed. I sometimes forget to document in one or the other location. During an interview on 5/30/25 at 9:20 AM Staff V, LPN stated, I changed the shower schedule for [Resident #61's name] from the 3-11 shift to the 7-3 shift because she [Resident #61] was not always getting her showers as scheduled. [Resident #61's name] was scheduled to receive a shower on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The Task List documentation was reviewed with Staff V, LPN for Resident #61. Staff V, LPN confirmed there was documentation of only three showers for Resident #61 in the last 30 days. The dates of the showers were confirmed to be documented on 5/1/25, 5/24/25, and 5/29/25. Review on 5/30/25 of the Documentation Survey Report for Resident #61, specifically for the Intervention/Task of Bathing/Showering, for May 2025, documented nine instances of missed opportunities for the administration of a bath or shower per Resident #61's preference and scheduled days for a shower.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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 ensure treatment and care was provided in accordance with professional standards of practice for a central venous catheter for 1 of 3 residents, Resident #103, observed for intravenous (IV) catheter care and medication administration practices. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: During an observation on 5/27/25 at 2:11 PM, Resident #103 had a dual lumen, central venous catheter in his right upper chest with a dressing dated 5/1/25. The catheter insertion site was visible, the dressing was clean, dry, and intact. (Photographic evidence obtained) During an interview on 5/27/25 at 2:11 PM, Resident #103 stated, The last time I was in the hospital they put in the catheter for antibiotics. Since I've returned to the facility, a nurse had said that the dressing needed to be changed, but the dressing has not been changed. Review of Resident #103's medical record documented the resident was most recently admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnosis to include pneumonia, unspecified organism; methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus Infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere; dependence on renal dialysis Review of Resident #103's physician orders did not have documentation of an order for central IV-line dressing changes. Review of Resident #103's Initial Plan of Care Summary (PIC/IPOC), dated 5/1/25, documented that the resident had a percutaneously inserted central catheter (PICC) line. During an interview on 5/28/25 at 3:17 PM, Staff A, LPN stated, I have flushed [Resident #103's name] central venous catheter, as it was ordered to be done daily. I was not sure whether [Resident #103's name] had an order for a dressing change for his central venous catheter, and an order did not pop up in the computer to complete [a dressing change]. I didn't have time to investigate [for an order]. The admitting nurse should have identified whether there was an IV catheter and that it needed an order for a dressing change. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 9:24 AM, Staff B, LPN stated, I worked with [Resident #103's name] on the 11p-7a shift [11:00 PM - 7:00 AM] on 5/26/25. I have been giving his IV Vancomycin on the 3-11 shift [3:00 PM to 11:00 PM]. I looked at the IV site and spoke with the resident about it. I recall that the dressing had a five on it, but I don't recall the full date. I believe the policy for IV dressing changes was for them to be done every seven days. If I identified a dressing was older than seven days, I would go back and check the orders [for frequency of dressing changes], and if it is supposed to be changed, I would report it to my supervisor and contact the doctor for orders. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 9:39 AM, the Medical Director stated, I don't recall being contacted on or around 5/1/25 regarding [Resident #103's name] orders upon readmission from the hospital. I was aware that the resident had a central vascular catheter and intravenous (IV) antibiotics, but I don't recall the nurse discussing any orders for the IV catheter. When residents come back from a hospitalization I usually discuss the medications with the nurse and the orders for IV catheters, such as dressing changes, are in the nursing realm, as IV dressing changes are a nursing standard.

I worked with him within the past two to three weeks, but I can't recall the dates. I didn't administer anything to [Resident #103's name] through a central intravenous catheter and I don't recall whether he had a central IV catheter. I believe the policy for IV dressing changes was every seven days, and that as an LPN I would not change the dressing. If I observed that the dressing had been in place for greater than seven days, I would be expected to report it [to her supervisor]. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 9:55 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) When a resident is admitted the nurse completes an admission packet. The nurse would enter the medications and call the doctor to confirm the orders. A head-to-toe assessment would be expected to be done, which includes documentation of a skin check and documentation of any IVs, tubes, or drains. The nurse is expected to review the discharge summary from the hospital and would look to see if a specific type of IV line is mentioned. The expectation is the nurse who admitted [Resident #103's name] would have obtained dressing change orders, and that IV dressings were changed weekly, or more often if the dressing had lifted, was torn, or was soiled. Review of Resident #103's Care Plan, updated on 5/2/25, documented Focus - IV therapy/potential for complications related to PICC line. Date Initiated: 05/02/2025.

Usually, the nurses will drop the recommendation in my book, and I will review them. During an interview on 5/30/2025 at 2:51 PM the Director of Nursing stated, [Resident #62 name] consultation report should have been signed and a rationale should have been provided.

(Photographic evidence obtained) During an interview on 5/27/25 at 2:11 PM, Resident #103 stated, The last time he was in the hospital they put in the catheter for antibiotics. Since my return to the facility, a nurse had said that the dressing needed to be changed, but that the dressing had not been changed. Review of Resident #103's Census Data documented the resident was initially admitted on [DATE] and most recently readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident #103's medical diagnoses included the following relevant information: pneumonia, unspecified organism; methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere; dependence on renal dialysis During an interview on 5/29/25 at 9:39 AM, the Medical Director stated, I do not recall being contacted on or around 5/1/25 regarding [Resident #103's name] orders upon readmission from the hospital.

During an interview on 5/28/25 at 3:17 PM, Staff A, LPN stated, I have flushed [Resident #103's name] central venous catheter, as it was ordered to be done daily. I was not sure whether [Resident #103's name] had an order for a dressing change for his central venous catheter, and an order did not pop up in the computer to complete [a dressing change]. I didn't have time to investigate [for an order]. The admitting nurse should have identified whether there was an IV catheter and that it needed an order for a dressing change. During an interview on 5/29/25 at 9:55 AM the DON stated, When a resident is admitted the nurse completes an admission packet. The nurse would enter the medications and call the doctor to confirm the orders. A head-to-toe assessment would be expected to be done, which includes documentation of a skin check and documentation of any IVs, tubes, or drains. The nurse is expected to review the discharge summary from the hospital and would look to see if a specific type of IV line is mentioned.
