Residents Affected - Few
Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, resident representative and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure the clinical
record accurately reflected the residents' advance directives for 2 (Residents #5 and #8) of 2 residents
reviewed for advance directives.
The findings included:
Review of the facility's Advance Directive Policy (revised [DATE]) revealed prior to or upon admission of a
resident, the Social Services Director or designee inquires of the resident, his/her family members and/or
his or her legal representative, about the existence of any written advance directives. Upon admission the
interdisciplinary team assesses the resident's decision-making capacity and identifies the primary
decision-maker if the resident is determined not to have decision-making capacity.
1. Review of the clinical record for Resident #5 revealed an admission date of [DATE]. Diagnoses included
but were not limited to, cerebral infarction (stroke) and dementia.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment with a target date of [DATE] revealed Resident #5
scored a six (6) on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), indicating severe impaired cognition.
Review of the physician's order dated [DATE] revealed Resident #5 had a full code status, meaning
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) would be initiated if the resident had no pulse or respirations.
Review of the Resident #5's care plan initiated on [DATE] revealed an Advance Directive Care Plan which
noted Resident #5 had a full code status.
Review of the incapacity statement signed by the attending physician and dated [DATE] showed Resident
#5 was unable to make informed health care decisions or provide informed consent.
Review of the progress note written on [DATE] by Registered Nurse (RN) MDS Coordinator revealed a plan
of care meeting was conducted for Resident #5. The legal representative's preference for code status was
DNR, do not resuscitate.
On [DATE] at 10:10 a.m., in a telephone interview the legal representative said he told the nurse at the plan
of care meeting Resident #5's code status was Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) meaning CPR would not be
initiated if the resident had no pulse or respirations.

On [DATE] 5:05 p.m., during an interview with Resident #8 and the son at the facility, the son said Resident
#8 is a DNR. Resident #8 said she did not want CPR.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, record review and staff interview, the facility failed to provide care and services in
accordance with professional standards of practice by failing to administer medications in accordance with
the physician's orders for 1 (Resident #22) of 4 residents reviewed for compliance with physician's orders.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
On 3/26/25 at 8:34 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff A was observed preparing to administer
medications to Resident #22, including Vitamin D3. LPN Staff A said she needed to clarify the order for the

administered one capsule of Vitamin D3 1000 International Units (IU) daily to Resident #22 as per the
physician's orders.
On 3/26/25 at 8:34 a.m., observation of Resident #22's medications revealed two blister cards of 30 tablets
of Vitamin D3 of 2000 IU.
One blister card was filled on 2/20/25. 29 tablets had been removed from the card.
One blister card was filled on 3/24/25. None of the tablets were removed.
On 3/26/25 at 11:57 a.m., in an interview LPN Staff A said the physician's order in the electronic clinical
record for the Vitamin D3 was to administer 1000 IU. The Vitamin D3 2000 IU that she had available and
that was being given was different from the physician's orders. She said she gave the incorrect dose of
Vitamin D3 to the resident on 3/3/25, 3/4/25, 3/5/25, 3/6/25, 3/10/25, 3/17/25, 3/18/25, and 3/24/25.
On 3/26/25 at 5:35 p.m., in an interview LPN Staff C said on 3/21/25 she was the nurse assigned to
Resident #22 and administered the Vitamin D3 2000 IU that was in the medication cart to the resident. She
said she never altered the medication, and the resident took the tablet of Vitamin D3 2000 IU whole. She
did not crush or cut the tablet of Vitamin D3 2000 IU.
On 3/27/25 at 12:30 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON), she said she was made aware the
incorrect dose of Vitamin D3 has been administered to Resident #22. She said she expects the nurses to

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0689
The care plans did not identify the use of the fall mats use to prevent fall injury.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 3/27/25 at 9:21 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) MDS Coordinator Staff A confirmed the fall
mats were not on the care plan. She said if staff used them, they should be on the care plan.
Residents Affected - Some
On 3/3/25 the facility updated the care plan with an intervention for bowel and bladder training.
The clinical record lacked documentation of a bowel and bladder training program.
On 3/26/25 at 2:02 p.m., in an interview the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said the bowel and
bladder training was added to the care plan on 3/3/25 but not implemented. She said it involves a bowel
and bladder assessment by the nurse and then checking the resident every hour.
On 3/27/25 at 9:21 a.m., in an interview the MDS coordinator said bowel and bladder training should have
been implemented because the resident was falling when she tried to get to the bathroom without
assistance.
Fall #5
On 3/11/25 at 4:50 p.m., the alert progress note indicated an unwitnessed fall after for the resident after
toileting herself and falling. The resident could not remember if she hit her head. 911 was called and the
resident was transported to the hospital.
The facility updated the fall care plan on 3/17/25 to include a medication review.
On 3/24/25 at 11:03 a.m., in a telephone interview, Resident #12's daughter and responsible party said her
mother had multiple falls at the facility in a short time and the facility's efforts have not prevented them. She
said she was worried the resident will fall and sustain another fracture or worse. She said the resident has
dementia and periods of confusion.
On 3/27/25 at 9:21 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse (RN) Minimum Data Set Assessment
Coordinator (MDS) Staff A said all falls are reviewed with the Interdisciplinary team IDT and the team
decides which new interventions are added to the care plan. She verified fall mats did not get added to the
care plan. She said fall mats do not prevent falls and are not appropriate for all residents and can contribute
to falls because of tripping. She said providing assistance of 2 staff for toileting was added to prevent
accidents including falls. She said the resident's ability fluctuates from day to day. She said there should
have been 2 CNAs toileting Resident #12, if not used to support the resident, to be there for assistance if
the resident should lose balance and begin to fall. The MDS coordinator said the bowel and bladder training
intervention was added because the resident fell multiple times while trying to get to the bathroom. The IDT
team decided on the intervention, and it should have been implemented by the IDT, which included the
ADON.
