Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike
environment to include one of one main hall through ways (East unit), and one of one main dining rooms,
during three of three days observed (1/3/2023, 1/4/2023, and 1/5/2023).
Findings included:
1. On 01/03/2023 at 10:00 a.m., the main throughway/hallway in the East 100 hall was observed with a
section of flooring in disrepair with raised edges and sunken areas. The floor in disrepair was between
resident rooms 104/106 and 103/105. The plastic/vinyl flooring was a different size and color as the original,
not matching the rest of the floor, and were not glued down appropriately, causing trip hazards and feet
scuffing risks.
Observations on 01/03/2023 at 11:10 a.m., revealed an employee scuffed her feet while passing over the
floor. She was observed to scuff over the raised sections of the plastic/vinyl flooring. Photographic evidence
was taken.
01/03/2023 at 11:45 a.m., Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Staff B, CNA were in the main
hallway walking toward the nursing station and clipped a raised portion of the floor, almost tripping. An
interview with Staff B confirmed she had scuffed her feet on the floor between resident rooms 104/106 and
103/105. She also confirmed the flooring was not even and not glued all the way down. She did not
remember how long ago the flooring was changed out and repaired.
On 01/04/2023 between 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., two staff members were observed to scuff and slightly
trip over the raised edges of the un-glued plastic/vinyl flooring.
On 01/04/2023 at 12:30 p.m., Staff C, CNA was observed carrying a lunch meal tray from the tray cart and
then down the 100 hall to resident room [ROOM NUMBER]. As she was walking, she slightly tripped and
scuffed her feet, almost losing her footing. She looked down and shook her head and walked to room
[ROOM NUMBER] to drop off the lunch tray. When she left the room she was asked about almost
falling/tripping. She indicated she was not aware the floor was sticking up and she hit her feet on the edges.
On 01/04/2023 at 8:15 a.m., the same floor area was observed with high traffic of both employees and
residents. Residents were observed either walking on their own or with a rolling walker or were self
propelling while in a wheelchair. There were two observations of various staff members who scuffed their
feet on the sinking area of the floor and with parts of the flooring sticking up at the

edges. Also, there were staff observed at 12:30 p.m. while passing meal trays in the area, who tripped
slightly on the slightly raised corners of the flooring.
On 01/05/2023 at 7:43 a.m., Staff A, CNA was observed to scuff her feet on the floor in the areas where it
was slightly sunken. She was holding a meal tray and tripped slightly when walking through the area. She
confirmed this happened at times but tried to remember the area was not even when walking on it.
On 01/05/2023 at 12:40 p.m., an interview with the Maintenance Director and the Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) both revealed about three months ago (approximately 10/2022), the front lobby
restroom toilets started to back up and they, along with outside services, worked to correct the problem.
The NHA and Maintenance Director both revealed the problem expanded to other resident room bathrooms
to include the low 100's. The Maintenance Director said they had an outside service investigate the problem
and they suggested to put in vent plates in the main hallway in between resident rooms 103/105. He
revealed they put in the vent plates and the problem still existed. The NHA said once the problem persisted,
he along with Maintenance Department, tried to do an in house fix with the flooring that would not stay
affixed to the ground. He revealed they tried various heavy duty double tapes, and heavy duty vinyl/plastics
glue which did not work. He said around 12/29/2022, he received a outside service quote in order to correct
the floor problem. The NHA revealed he provided the quote to the facility's corporate office and it was just
finally approved as of 1/5/2023, which was during the state annual inspection. The NHA said he had no
documentation to support continued monitoring of the floor area in question and that the flooring had been
little by little becoming more unsecured to the floor, and causing scuffing and/or trip hazards.
2. On 01/03/2023 at 12:10 p.m., during a lunch meal observation in the main dining room, the room was
observed with seven tables, and twelve residents seated at them in preparation for lunch. During the meal
observation, there was a long section in the side of the room approximately thirty feet. This section had four
sets of double glassed doors. The set of doors on the far left or (East) side of the room, and located near
the television, were observed with heavy dust/debris build up on the doors, the plastic shutter blinds, the
wall corners, and the windows themselves. Photographic evidence was taken.
On 01/05/2023 at 12:45 p.m., an interview with the Housekeeping Director revealed he along with up to
three other housekeeping staff were responsible for the general cleaning maintenance of the building to
include residents spaces, specifically rooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, etc. The Housekeeping Director
revealed the general cleaning of the main dining room was after each meal service which included wiping
and sanitizing the tables, sweeping and mopping the entire floor, and cleaning and wiping high touch
surfaces to include furniture, and window shutters. He also indicated his staff should be wiping down high
touch surfaces as need and in between meal services if need be. The Housekeeping Director confirmed the
large amount of dust and debris on the window shutters in the main dining room and indicated that those
shutters should have been cleaned more often.
On 01/05/2023 at 1:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing provided the Housekeeping Aide job description with a
last revisit dated of 01/01/2015. The job description revealed; The primary and purpose of this position is to
perform the day-to-day activities of the Environmental/Housekeeping Department in accordance with
current, federal, state local standards, guidelines and regulations governing our facility, and may be directed
by the Environmental Services Director and/or Administrator, to assure that our Facility is maintained in a
clean, safe, and comfortable manner.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure care planning with problem areas,
goals, and interventions was developed for three (Residents #108, #3, and #10), of twenty residents related
to contracture management, splint/bracing management, and PTSD/Trauma behavior management.
Findings included:
1. On 12/3/2023 at 10:20 p.m. and 1:45 p.m., Resident #108 was observed in his room and seated in a
wheelchair next to his bed. The call light was placed within his reach and he was dressed for the day. He
appeared pleasant and had no immediate concerns. He was not presenting with any behaviors, pain or
discomfort at the time of the visit and agreed to be interviewed. He was observed with a hard plastic splint
on his left forearm up to his elbow that was held on with two expanding stretch fabric strips. He indicated he
was right handed and had a contracture in his left arm due to a stroke in the past, and used the splint to
manage his contracture. He said he put the splint on himself. Staff did not help him with it. The dresser
positioned behind him was observed with two other types of arm/hand splints. He could not explain their
use and said he used the one he had on. He confirmed the splint was not uncomfortable and took it off
when he got uncomfortable. Resident #108 was not sure if staff were still helping him with contracture
management to help reduce the risk for further decline of his left arm and hand. He said he was helped by
therapy but they were no longer assisting him.
On 12/04/2023 at 7:30 a.m., Resident #108 was observed in his room, lying in bed, and with the call light
placed on his right side (dominant side and side without contracture). He was awake and not presenting
with any behaviors, pain or discomfort. He was observed wearing his left arm splint. He said he would take
it off shortly when he got his breakfast. He was asked about the other two splints that were placed on his
dresser. He did not know why they were there. He was also not aware if the staff assisted him with the
placing on and taking off the splint and did not believe they washed the splint either. At 8:07 a.m., Resident
#108 was observed receiving his breakfast meal tray from staff. The staff set up the tray and positioned the
plate in a manner where he could easily reach it with his right hand. His left splint/brace was observed lying
on the over the bed table. He said the staff did not take off the splint but he was able to do it himself, but
with great effort.
On 12/04/2023 at 8:27 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Rehab Director, Staff D, related to
Resident #108. He said Physical Therapy (PT)/Occupational Therapy (OT) did not currently have the
resident on case load and would print out the discharge assessment for both PT/OT related to the resident.
The Rehab Director confirmed the resident had developed a contracture on his left elbow and they had him
on contracture management. He confirmed direct care staff were responsible for assisting him with his
splint/brace daily. However, he believed the resident could don and doff it himself. The Rehab Director was
not sure if the resident was care planned with interventions and goals with use of the splint/brace or care
planned for contracture management.
On 01/04/2023 at 9:24 a.m. an interview with the Minimum Data Set (MDS)/Care Plan Coordinator, Staff E
revealed she was aware and knew Resident #108 to include his care and services. Staff E was asked about
the resident's splint on the left arm/elbow. She confirmed he utilized the splint as tolerated. She said direct
care staff should assist with the splint but the resident also put the device on and took it off himself. She
was not sure who monitored his daily use of the splint/brace. She

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility did not ensure activities of daily living (ADLs) related
to showers and hair care were provided for one (Resident #17) of three residents reviewed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During a facility tour on 01/04/23 at 12:22 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident #17. She stated
she felt neglected. The resident said, look at my hair, it's like a lump of a nest. They haven't tried to assist
me, no one has attempted to comb or brush my hair since I have been here. Resident #17 stated her hair
was matted because they left her hair uncombed for a long time. The resident stated she had one shower
that she could remember. She stated one of the CNAs told her she should cut her hair. Resident #17 said, I
said No, they can take the time to comb it. It is not fair to me. I am dependent on staff for care. The resident
stated she had not refused to shower. She stated there was one incident, the only one time she received a
shower. The CNA was not comfortable with the lift. The resident stated they argued, and it made her mad.
Resident #17 stated since the incident, no one had offered her a shower. Resident #17 stated she received
a bed bath here and there.
Resident #17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include acute and chronic respiratory
failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia. A Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], section
C, showed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) of 13, indicating intact cognition. Section G showed
Resident #17 was dependent on staff for ADLs, including personal hygiene, toilet use and dressing. The
resident was totally dependent on staff for bathing/showers, requiring two staff physical assist.
Review of Resident #17's Certified Nurses' Aide (CNA) task log, under bathing task showed from 12/06/22
to 1/4/23 the resident received one shower documented on 12/24/22. The record showed three bed baths
were offered during a 30-day period.
A care plan for Resident #17 dated 10/13/22, showed Resident #17 had a self-care deficit with dressing,
grooming, bathing related to generalized weakness and chronic pain. The resident participated with ADLs
with cues from staff. Interventions included to gather and set up supplies for care, cue/encourage resident
to participate in ADLs tasks, allow resident ample time to attempt/complete ADL task, provide hands on
assistance with dressing, grooming, bathing, staff to anticipate resident's needs with ADLs decline in ADL
function, and report to physician as indicated.
An interview was conducted with Resident #17 on 01/03/23 at 10:10 a.m. Resident #17 was observed in
her room lying in bed, facing the wall, her hair was noted uncombed, matted, and tangled in a clamp. The
resident appeared disheveled and untidy. Resident #17 did not respond to the interview. On 01/03/23 at
12:42 p.m., Resident #17 was observed in her room during lunch. The resident was asked if she had
received assistance with showers/bath. Resident #17 said, what assistance? The resident stated she had
not received assistance with her hair.
On 01/04/23 at 12:25 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff I, CNA. She stated Resident #17 was
dependent on staff for all care, and she did not get out of bed often. Staff I stated the resident did not
typically refuse care, but you had to ask her what she needed. Staff I stated they count on her to initiate her
care needs. Staff I stated the resident was alert and oriented, and made her needs known. Staff I stated
she thought the resident received showers as scheduled. She stated she had

On 01/04/23 at 12:32 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff N, CNA. Staff N stated she worked with
Resident #17 often and the resident was dependent on staff. Staff N stated the resident stayed in bed all
the time, per her preference. Staff N stated they assisted the resident as needed. She stated she did not
necessarily refuse care, but sometimes she was not compliant. Staff N stated she washed the resident off
as needed, especially after changing her. Staff N stated she had not given Resident #17 a shower lately.
Residents Affected - Few
On 01/04/23 at 12:34 p.m., an interview was conducted with Staff J, LPN. She stated the resident kept to
herself and was not aware that she was refusing any care today. She stated the resident did refuse showers
sometimes. She was scheduled to shower three times a week . Staff J showed the surveyor a shower
schedule confirming Resident #17 should be showering three times a week if she wished, on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays. Staff J stated on the day of scheduled shower, the CNA went to the room and
offered the resident a shower/bath. If the resident refused a full bath or shower, but accepted a bed bath,
they provided it. If the resident was refusing showers/baths, it would be noted in the CNA task log. Staff J
said, No they do not document elsewhere. If you can't find it in the resident's EMR, then it is not there. Staff
J stated Resident #17 came in with her hair put up in a bun and she just noticed last week that it was
completely matted. Staff J stated she then asked the resident if she would like it combed. Staff J stated the
resident said she preferred to go to a salon because it was already matted. Staff J stated the resident was
upset because a CNA said they would cut it off. Staff J stated she did not know if they could take the
resident to a salon, but social services would have to figure that out.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 01/04/23 at 3:25 p.m. The DON stated
the resident refused showers which should be documented. She stated the CNAs should be documenting
refusals and not document N/A (not applicable). The DON said, Not applicable should not be an option. She
either showered or she did not. The DON stated she had initiated education for the CNAs who were
documenting N/A and would have a discussion with the resident. The DON stated she discussed the
resident's refusal to shower in October. The DON stated she did not remember specifically discussing
Resident #17's hair and could not recall why the issue of her matted hair had not surfaced. The DON
confirmed if a resident was refusing care, it should be documented. The DON stated the care plan should
reflect the resident refused care, and appropriate interventions should be in place. The DON reviewed the
CNA task log and saw only one documented shower. She stated, I get what you are saying, it does not look
good.
A follow-up was conducted on 01/04/23 at 03:42 p.m., with the Regional Clinical Nurse. She reviewed the
shower task log and said, Yes, it makes sense she should be getting more showers or there should be more
refusals documented. She stated it did make sense to care plan the refusals if there was a pattern. She
reviewed the behavior log for the resident and confirmed there were no documented behaviors or
shower/bath refusals. She stated she spoke to the resident and observed her hair was matted. She said,
Oh, that's not good. I saw her hair. I can't believe it got that bad. Regional Clinical Nurse stated she spoke
with Resident #17, and she expressed her preference to receive bed baths in the evenings. The Regional
Clinical Nurse confirmed she would expect the resident's wishes to shower or receive a bath to be honored.
Review of a facility policy, revised March 2018, showed residents will be provided with care treatment and
services as appropriate to maintain or improve their ability to carry out ADLs. Residents who are unable to
carry out ADLs independently will receive the services necessary to maintain good

services to ensure that their activities of daily living do not diminish unless the circumstance of their clinical
condition demonstrates that diminishing ADLs are unavoidable. If residents with cognitive impairment or
dementia resist care staff will attempt to identify the underlying cause of the problem and not just assume
the resident is refusing or declining care. Approaching the resident in a different way or at a different time or
having another staff member speak with the resident may be appropriate. A residents' ability to perform
ADL's will be measured using clinical tools, including the MDS. [Total dependence] means full staff
performance of an activity with no participation by resident for any aspect of the ADL activity. Resident was
unwilling or unable to perform any part of the activity over entire seven-day look back. Interventions to
improve or minimize resident's functional abilities will be in accordance with the resident's assessed needs,
preferences, stated goals and recognized standards of practice. The resident's response to interventions
will be monitored, evaluated, and revised as appropriate.

for five or six years. She stated the power wheelchair was unusable because it had a low battery, the tilt
back was broken, and she slid down in the chair which put her at risk of sliding out of the chair. She stated
she would like to order a lap belt to aide in holding her in the chair, but per the Therapy Director, she would
have to be able to operate the lap belt herself so that it would not be considered a restraint. Resident #3
stated she was completely paralyzed on her left side, including both her upper and lower extremities, but
had use of her right arm with some decreased strength. She stated her posture had also become a problem
and was the reason she slid out of the power wheelchair. She stated she was provided her current
wheelchair, a manual wheelchair with a tilted back, possibly two months ago. Resident #3 called the manual
wheelchair a torture chamber and stated that it was very uncomfortable for her to use. Resident #3 stated
that since having to use the manual wheelchair she had become totally dependent on staff and others to
help her get around and participate in activities like smoking or taking a leave of absence from the facility.
Resident #3 stated that she was not currently working with therapy services but would like to get on the
restorative therapy case load to help improve her posture. She stated she believed a social worker at the
facility sent an application for a new electric wheelchair, but she was denied and was currently waiting to
find out more about the status of fixing her unusable power wheelchair by way of having a friend complete
the needed repairs.
Review of a physician progress note dated 12/19/2022 stated Resident #3 had limited range of motion in
the left upper and lower extremities with contracture on the left leg more than the right affecting her ability
to flex and extend both hips. The resident was noted with left upper extremity weakness with significant
difficulties with range of motion against gravity, and her range of motion was significantly impaired passively
as well as actively in both legs with left hip external rotation and left knee flexion contracture.
Review of a physician progress note dated 12/8/2022 stated Resident #3 required assistance to be moved
in a regular wheelchair. The note indicated she had physical debility with a history of cerebrovascular
accident (CVA) with left-sided weakness, both upper and lower extremity contractures and poor posture.
Resident #3 was care planned to continue physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), and restorative
therapy as needed and tolerated. The physician progress note stated Resident #3 used an electric
wheelchair for mobility but was now unable because of poor posture and sliding down from the power
wheelchair. Resident #3 was indicated to benefit from a new power wheelchair that tilted and paperwork for
the power wheelchair was sent by social work to be approved.
On 01/04/2023 at 5:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding
Resident #3's power wheelchair and Resident #3's concern over loss of independence related to having to
utilize a manual wheelchair. The DON stated in 2022 the resident was evaluated on two or three

separate occasions for safe use of her electric wheelchair, and she was deemed unsafe to utilize the
mobility device.
A review of medical documentation from 09/02/2022 entitled Seating/Mobility evaluation revealed that
Resident #3 was referred for a power mobility assessment for positioning and drive system. Resident #3's
goal at the time was to spend time up in the wheelchair to perform ADLs, while caregiver goals were to
maximize Resident #3's safety and independence during ADL routine. Resident #3's current
seating/mobility device was described as a right hand drive power wheelchair with a standard form
wheelchair cushion and a standard wheelchair back. The reason provided for the updated evaluation was to
accommodate Resident #3's postural changes. The Clinical Criteria section of the evaluation indicated
Resident #3's environment supported the use of a power wheelchair and the resident had sufficient
function/abilities to use the recommended equipment. The final recommendation of the evaluation was a
power wheelchair with a tilt/recline positioning system.
A review of Resident #3's medical record provided documentation of a physical medicine and rehabilitation
follow up note dated 09/12/2022. The physician documented that a tilt in space motorized wheelchair may
help Resident #3 to stay safer seated in her wheelchair without sliding down to floor due to inability to
control bilateral hip flexion. The physician stated that such a device would allow Resident #3 to maintain a
safer posture in her wheelchair, perform ADLs safer, and provide much needed independence to move
around.
A review of documentation uploaded into Resident #3's medical record provided a prescription dated
9/15/2022 for a power wheelchair with right hand joystick drive, power reclining and tilt-in-space features
with custom pressure relieving cushion and trunk (lateral) support with adjustable footrest for a diagnosis of
postural instability, left-sided hemiparesis and hemiplegia due to CVA.
An interview was conducted on 01/05/2023 at 10:40 a.m. with the Therapy Director regarding Resident #3's
evaluation and current mobility situation. Per the Therapy Director, Resident #3 had participated in therapy
programs on a number of occasions in order to minimize contractures and improve quality of life. The
Therapy Director stated Resident #3 would participate in therapy programs until she reached maximum
potential, and then would be provided education for strengthening exercises that she should perform on her
own. The resident often lacked follow through with these recommendations resulting in changes to her
postural stability leading to her no longer being able to maintain posture while in the currently available
power wheelchair. The Therapy Director reported he had met with the facility physician, the physiatrist/pain
management provider, and Social Services, and had done a mobility evaluation in September 2022 which
led to the prescription for the new power wheelchair device being obtained. The Therapy Director indicated
that to his knowledge the only way Resident #3 can obtain a new power wheelchair is through Medicaid,
and the Social Services Director sent all information to Medicaid. The Therapy Director stated that in the
meantime, the safest available and equivalent option for Resident #3 is the standard manual wheelchair
with reclined back.
An interview was conducted on 01/05/2023 at 10:55 a.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD). He said
all documentation regarding Resident #3's power wheelchair was sent to a durable medical equipment
(DME) company, but the power wheelchair was not covered under Resident #3's insurance plan as she
resided in a skilled nursing facility setting. The SSD indicated Resident #3's postural positioning was not
appropriate to use her current power wheelchair and this information, along with the denial for a new chair,
was provided back to the facility team. The SSD stated he discussed a self-pay option with the resident,
with a new chair having an average cost of $5,000. The SSD also stated he recently spoke with Resident
#3 about renting a power wheelchair and provided her with names and phone

numbers for rental companies. The SSD described the normal process would be for therapy to make an
assessment of the resident and recommend the appropriate equipment, and then social services would
attempt to facilitate acquiring the recommended device. The SSD stated if they were unable to acquire the
equipment, then the resident was notified which had happened. The SSD stated he probably did not have
any documentation of these encounters with the DME company or the resident and his normal practice was
to shred documentation after three to four months. The SSD stated he would not have scanned the
documents into Resident #3's electronic medical record.
On 01/05/2023 at 2:25 p.m., an interview was held with the Nursing Home Administrator who stated
Resident #3 would be evaluated the following day by Occupational Therapy for assessment of safe
positioning in a new chair. The Nursing Home Administrator stated this should have been completed sooner
and education would be provided to the Social Services Director regarding responding to resident needs in
a timely manner.
A review of Resident #3's electronic medical record did not reveal any documentation from social services
regarding follow up or resolution of the power wheelchair issue, nor was there documentation of information
provided to Resident #3 regarding her power wheelchair situation from September through December
2022.

medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure behavior monitoring was in place for one (Resident
#10) of five residents on psychotropic medication reviewed for unnecessary medication.
Findings included:
A review of the admission records for Resident #10 indicated he was initially admitted on [DATE] and a
re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including recurrent depressive disorders.
A review of physician orders revealed the following:
Duloxetine HCL Dr sprinkle 40 mg. One time a day for depression. Date 11/29/22
A care plan review showed a care plan in place for the potential for adverse side effects related to the use
of psychotropic medication. The interventions included observe for effectiveness of psychotropic
medications, observe for adverse side effects related to psychotropic medication use, and observe for
changes in mood/behavior.
A review of Resident #10's electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) did not show any behavior
or side effect monitoring in place for the resident's use of Duloxetine.
On 1/3/23 a request was made to the Director of Nursing (DON) to provide documentation of behavior
monitoring for Resident #10.
An interview was conducted with the Regional Nurse Consultant on 1/4/23 at 5:33 p.m. She was observed

Resident #10's previous stay in November 2022. The DON stated behavior monitoring was not done in
December and it must have been missed when he was readmitted on [DATE]. She confirmed the behavior
monitoring should have been in place.
A review of Resident #10's Behavior Monitoring Flow Sheet for January 2023 indicated an order for
behavior and side effect monitoring related to Duloxetine use was put in place on the night shift on 1/3/23.
A facility policy titled Antipsychotic Medication Use, dated December 2016, was reviewed. The policy stated
the following:

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and policy reviews, the facility failed to properly store and secure medications in
two of three medication carts, one medication stock room, one of three medication refrigerators, and for
one (Resident #208) of one resident reviewed.
Findings include:
An observation was made on 1/4/23 at 4:11 p.m. of an unlocked medication cart on the [NAME] Back Unit.
Two nurses were standing five feet away from the medication cart. At 4:15 p.m. both nurses had walked out
of the hall and the cart remained unlocked. There were no nurses in sight of the cart and the medication
cart was sitting in one of the main resident hallways. After four minutes had passed, a nurse on the
opposite hall asked if there was a problem. She was notified the medication cart was unlocked. She stated
she would call the nurse who was using the cart. At 4:20 p.m., Staff Q, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
walked to the unlocked medication cart. Staff Q stated she walked away from the cart because she had to
go put orders in the computer. She said she is new to Long-Term Care and still trying to figure things out.
She said she had worked in the facility for over a year. She confirmed she had training and knew she
should lock the medication cart when not using it. (Photographic evidence obtained.)
On 1/5/23 at 9:00 a.m. an audit was completed of the East Medication Storage room with the Director of
Nursing (DON.) The DON stated over-the-counter medication was kept in Central Supply, not in the
medication storage room. Central Supply was observed to have a locked, ventilated cabinet with medication
inside. A random review of medication revealed 1 bottle of CO Q-10 that expired on 9/22, 2 bottles of
Vitamin E 1000 IU that expired on 6/22, 2 bottles of Vitamin E 400 IU that expired on 9/22 and one that
expired on 6/22, and 1 bottle of Docusate Calcium that expired on 9/22 and 10 that expired on 12/22. The
DON stated the Central Supply Clerk should be checking the medications and cleaning them out every
month. She stated there should not be expired medication in the cabinet. The DON mentioned that
medications get delivered to the Supply Clerk's office.
An interview was conducted with the Regional Nurse Consultant on 1/5/23 at 9:24 a.m. She stated
medications should be cleaned out monthly and no expired medications should be in the storage area.
On 1/5/23 at 11:30 a.m. a follow-up interview was conducted with the DON. She confirmed medications
were delivered and sometimes kept in the Supply Clerk's office. The DON was observed walking in the
Supply Clerk's office. The office was located on the East Hall and the door was unlocked. No one was in the
office at that time. Two bottles of Sodium Chloride tablets were on the desk, 1 bottle of Vitamin B Complex,
1 bottle of Vitamin E, 1 bottle of Fiber tablets, and 1 bottle of Aspirin were sitting on top of a filing cabinet. A
prescription bottle was observed to be sitting on the front of the desk. The bottle contained Humulin R 500
units/ml for Resident #208. The prescription was dated 8/30/21 and the vial of insulin expired 11/22. The
DON stated she didn't know why the insulin was in there and stated there should not be any prescription
medications in the office.
A review of admission records revealed Resident #208 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was
