Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policies and procedures to prevent Neglect
related to investigation of a fall with major injury for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for accidents, from a total
sample of 31 residents, (#11).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including seizures, dementia, anxiety, and hypertension. He was hospitalized on [DATE] after a fall with
major injury and readmitted from the hospital on [DATE] with additional diagnoses of traumatic subdural
hemorrhage, repeated falls, weakness and paralysis of the left side and visiospatial deficit and spatial
neglect following a stroke.
A subdural hemorrhage is bleeding between the covering and surface of the brain that is often the result of
a severe head injury. Compression of the brain can cause brain injury or death (retrieved on 3/22/23 from
www.medlineplus.gov).
Visiospatial deficit and spatial neglect are common consequences of a one-sided brain injury. Persons who
suffer from these conditions do not process visual stimuli and images on one side of the body (retrieved on
3/22/23 from www.medscape.com).
Review of the medical record revealed a care plan, initiated on 1/28/20, that indicated the resident was at
risk for falls. The goals, revised on 8/16/22, included minimizing the risk of sustaining serious injury.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 9/08/22 showed
the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 4 out of 15, which indicated the resident was
severely cognitively impaired.
Review of a Change in Condition form dated 11/22/22 read, Resident fell out of wheelchair and hit his
head. The document indicated resident #11 grimaced and complained of pain, level 8 on a 0 to 10 scale, to
the right side of his forehead. The resident required emergency medical transport to the hospital for
evaluation and treatment.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation revised on
11/28/17 revealed Neglect was defined as the failure of the center, its employees or service providers to
provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish
or emotional distress. The policy provided examples of Neglect to include failure

to take precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of a resident, and failure to report observed
or suspected Neglect. The procedure indicated the facility would implement the policy to identify potential
Neglect. The document revealed all reported events, including falls, would be investigated by the Director of
Nursing (DON), and the investigative process involved completion of an incident report and collection of
statements from the resident and all possible witnesses who were in the vicinity. The policy showed the
incident should be reported to the appropriate staff and outside agencies within two hours if the resident
suffered serious bodily harm, and no more than 24 hours after the event if there was no serious injury. The
document read, Report the results of all investigations to the Executive Director or his her designated
representative and to other officials in accordance with State law, including the State Survey Agency, within
5 working days of the incident .
The policy and procedure Topic: Risk Management revised in October 2022 read, . 11. For all accidents, an
Occurrence Report must be completed. Statements are collected from the staff member assigned, the
resident, if capable of giving a statement, and any possible witnesses to determine circumstances of the
accident. The policy indicated falls would be investigated and reported as required.
On 3/09/23 at 3:02 PM, 6:12 PM, and 6:28 PM resident #11's fall with major injury was discussed with both
MDS Coordinators, the Director of Nursing (DON), the Regional Nurse, and the Administrator. They
explained the only witness to the fall was Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B, therefore she was the only
person involved. The DON confirmed the facility did not conduct an investigation of resident #11's fall on
11/20/22. He acknowledged the importance of a thorough fall investigation in determining necessary care
and services and to prevent Neglect. The MDS Coordinators and the Administrator denied knowledge of a
fall incident investigation to determine the circumstances of the fall and rule out Neglect. They confirmed
the facility had not filed Federal or State reports related to the incident.
On 3/09/23 at 4:10 PM, the LPN MDS Coordinator stated resident #11's fall with major injury was not
reported as it was a witnessed fall, and the fact that the resident was injured did not necessarily make it a
reportable incident. She stated nurses completed the incident reports for falls which were part of the facility
Risk Management program, and the previous Administrator was the Risk Manager at that time.
On 3/09/23 at 5:39 PM, LPN B stated she observed resident #11 as he fell from his wheelchair to the floor
near the entrance door in the dining room. The LPN recalled she looked around the room for staff and
observed two CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) behind the double doors, where they were not able to
visualize or supervise residents. LPN B stated she evaluated resident #11, noted a large, raised area on his
forehead, and immediately initiated emergency medical services to transport him to the hospital. She
recalled the residents in the dining room were at risk for falls and required staff supervision. LPN B stated
she believed the fall could have been prevented if residents in the dining room had been supervised. She
stated the two CNAs told her they were not supervising residents in the dining room as they were on their
break. LPN B explained she completed a progress note in the electronic medical health record, but was
never asked to provide a statement for or participate in an incident investigation.
On 3/09/23 at 5:58 PM, the Activities Director stated on 11/20/22, resident #11 was in the dining room but
he was not included in the group of residents at known risk for falls. She explained she was on the other
side of the room and heard a loud bang, but did not actually witness the resident's fall. The Activities
Director insisted she provided the Weekend Nursing Supervisor with a handwritten statement regarding the
incident and could not explain the lack of an incident investigation.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement appropriate interventions to include
provision of adequate supervision to prevent a fall with major injury for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for
accidents, of a total sample of 31 residents, (#11).
The facility's failure to increase supervision for a resident with a history of repeated falls resulted in actual
harm for resident #11.
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including seizures, dementia, anxiety, and hypertension. He was hospitalized on [DATE] after a fall with
major injury and readmitted from the hospital on [DATE] with additional diagnoses of traumatic subdural

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment with assessment reference date of 9/08/22 showed
the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 4 out of 15, which indicated the resident was
severely cognitively impaired. The MDS assessment noted there were no behavioral symptoms or rejection
of care and treatment, and the resident required extensive staff assistance for bed mobility, and limited
assistance for eating during the look back period.
Fall risk evaluations completed on 8/14/22 and 10/26/22 identified the resident as high risk for falls.
A Change in Condition form dated 8/14/22 indicated resident #11 was observed sitting on the floor beside
his bed. A Change in Condition dated 10/26/22 indicated resident #11 was observed on the floor. Review of
a Nursing Progress Note dated 11/15/22 at 9:47 AM, revealed resident #11 was found on the floor in the
television room. He informed nursing staff he was asleep and slid out of his chair.
Review of a Change in Condition form dated 11/20/22 read, Resident fell out of wheelchair and hit his

Level of Harm - Actual harm
A care plan for an actual fall was initiated on 1/22/20 and had a goal of minimizing the risk of further
incidents. An intervention dated 1/24/20 indicated staff were to place items on the right side of the
resident's body. An approach dated 2/17/22 directed staff to encourage and assist him to be in the day
room or dining room when in the wheelchair. The care plans did not specify the level of supervision or
frequency of monitoring required to prevent falls and/or injury, and ensure the resident's safety. The
resident's care plan was revised on 11/30/22, five days after readmission from the hospital where he was
treated for a subdural bleed, to include increase supervision. However, the care plan still did not provide
specific instructions for staff regarding the frequency of rounds and whether or not the resident needed be
monitored in a fall prevention program.
Residents Affected - Few
On 3/09/23 at 5:39 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B stated she observed resident #11 as he fell from
his wheelchair to the floor near the entrance door in the dining room on 11/20/22. The LPN recalled she
looked around the room for staff and observed two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) behind the double
doors, where they were not able to visualize or supervise residents. LPN B stated she evaluated resident
#11, noted a large, raised area on his forehead, and immediately initiated emergency medical services to
transport him to the hospital. She recalled the residents in the dining room required supervision because
they were at risk for falls. LPN B stated she believed the fall could have been prevented if residents in the
dining room had been supervised. She stated the two CNAs told her they were not supervising residents in
the dining room as they were on their break.
On 3/09/23 at 5:58 PM, the Activities Director stated she knew which residents were at risk for falls as they
were supervised by a CNA in the common area on the unit. She stated those residents required staff
assistance to get to the dining room for activity functions. She explained a CNA remained in the area by
those residents for safety. She stated resident #11 was not included in the group of residents with known
risk for falls on 11/20/22. The Activities Director recalled on that day, she heard a loud bang in the dining
room, looked around, and saw resident #11 on the floor. She stated she did not see the resident fall as she
was on the other side of the dining room.
On 3/09/2023 at 6:28 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged resident #11 had not been
provided with increased supervision although he had a history of multiple falls prior to the fall with major
injury on 11/20/022. The DON explained residents identified as at risk for falls should participate in the fall
program, and be supervised around the clock. He verified resident #11 should have been placed on close
supervision prior to his fall with major injury on 11/20/22 because he had falls before this happened.
The facility's policy and procedure for Topic: Fall Prevention Program (undated) indicated the facility would
.implement specialized safety precautions to ensure safety. of residents identified to be at risk for falls. The
procedure indicated specific interventions for residents deemed to be at high risk for falls included alarms,
floor mats, bed bolsters, appropriate recreational activities, and increased supervision, i.e. ½ hour
observations/monitoring rounds.
The facility's policy and procedure for Topic: Risk Management (undated) revealed avoidable accidents
occurred when the facility failed to Implement interventions, including adequate supervision, consistent with
a resident's needs, goals, plan of care, and current standards of practice in order to reduce the risk of an
accident; and/or monitor the effectiveness of the interventions and modify the interventions as necessary, in
accordance with current standards of care. The document indicated supervision was an intervention utilized
to mitigate fall risk. Adequate supervision was noted to be

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow pharmaceutical procedures to ensure
proper administration and accurate documentation of medications for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for
medication administration, of a total sample of 31 residents, (#81).
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #81, an [AGE] year-old man, was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included malnutrition, cancer of the immune system, muscle weakness, and
adult failure to thrive.
The Minimum Data Set admission (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated resident #81 had moderate
cognitive impairment, delusions, and disorganized thinking which fluctuated in severity. The MDS
assessment also showed resident #81 did not reject care in the look back period.
Review of resident #81's medical record revealed no care plan for self-administration of medications. His
baseline care plan dated 2/06/23 read, No in the section designated for self-administration of medication.
On 3/06/23 at approximately 10:46 AM, resident #81 was in bed with his eyes closed. There were two
medicine cups on the tray table next to his breakfast tray. One cup contained several pills and the other cup
contained two pills. Resident #81 responded to his name being called and was alert and oriented to person
and place. He motioned to the medicine cup with several pills and explained those were pain medications
that the nurse left there this morning as he did not need them. He stated the other cup with two pills was
from last night.
On 3/06/23 at 10:54 AM, the Sub-Acute Specialty Unit Manager (UM) stated she was the nurse assigned to
resident #81 that morning. She confirmed there were two cups with medications on the resident's tray table
and acknowledged she left one of the medication cups that morning. She said, They were only vitamins.
She stated she was not sure who left the other cup of medications on resident #81's bedside and explained
she did not see them earlier when she did her rounds. The Sub-Acute Specialty UM confirmed it was
against the facility's policy and procedure to leave medications at a resident's bedside for
self-administration unless the resident was assessed to self-administer medications. A few minutes later at
the nurses' station, the Sub-Acute Specialty UM confirmed there were five and a half pills in the cup she left
on the tray table. She looked at resident #81's medical record and explained the cup contained one
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) tablet, one Dexamethasone (steroid) tablet, one Vitamin B complex tablet, one
Vitamin E capsule, one Zinc Gluconate tablet and one half of a Benadryl tablet. She checked the electronic
medical record (EMR) and discovered the medications left in the second cup were one Marinol Capsule
and one Levothyroxine tablet that should have been administered on the previous shift. The Sub-Acute
Specialty UM confirmed her documentation reflected administration of the medications although she left
them on the tray table. She explained Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A, the Weekend Supervisor and
resident #81's assigned nurse on the previous shift, also documented that the medications left on the tray
table were given on the previous shift. The Sub-Acute Specialty UM did not respond when asked how she
could be sure resident #81 took the medications if she left them on the table. She confirmed she would go
back to the EMR and strike out the inaccurate documentation that indicated the medications were
administered. The Sub-Acute Specialty UM

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In a telephone interview on 3/09/23 at 9:44 AM, LPN A stated he gave resident #81 the Marinol capsule
and the Levothyroxine tablet in the early morning on 3/06/23. He recalled he handed the resident the cup
with the pills, and assumed the resident took them after he left the room. LPN A stated he knew the facility's
policy required him to ensure resident #81 actually swallowed the medications, but he explained he was in
a hurry as he still to administer medications to several other residents. LPN A verified leaving the
medications at the bedside was a safety issue for a resident who was not assessed and determined to be
appropriate for self-administration of medication.
Residents Affected - Few
On 3/08/23 at 9:26 AM, the Regional Nurse stated her expectation was nurses would never leave
medications at the bedside. She stated it was a safety issue because another resident could wander in and
take the pills, and the nurse would not know if the resident actually took the medications. She explained
nurses were not to document medications as given unless they actually saw the resident take the
medications.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure Medication Administration dated October 2021, revealed the
Standards Of Practice #11, Medications may not be left unattended after pouring and should be
administered immediately. Medication is not to be pre-poured, nor left at the bedside for the resident to take
at a later time.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the medical record revealed resident #78 was most recently re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an
acute care hospital with diagnoses that included Peripheral Venous Disease, right leg amputation above the
knee, Diabetes Mellitus, heart failure, major depressive disorder, chronic abnormal heart rhythm,
hypertension, heart disease, and hyperlipidemia.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Medicare 5-day assessment dated [DATE] revealed resident #78 had
moderate cognitive impairment and received both scheduled and as needed (prn) pain medications for his
frequent pain. The assessment also indicated resident #78 received insulin injections six times,
antidepressants seven times and opioid pain medications seven times during the 5-day look back period.
Resident #78 had care plans for anticoagulant therapy related to his abnormal heart rhythm, diuretic
therapy related to his heart failure, anti-depressant medications related to his depression, pain and
diabetes mellitus.
Review of the Order Summary Report forms for February and March 2023 revealed resident #78 had a
physician order dated 2/14/23 for Lantus insulin subcutaneous solution, inject five unit at bedtime for
diabetes. The document did not include an order for blood glucose monitoring until 3/09/23 after the facility
was made aware the task was not being done.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for February and March 2023 revealed resident #78
received Lantus insulin subcutaneous injection every day since his admission on [DATE], except once when
it was refused. The MAR indicated resident #78 received daily blood glucose monitoring up until 2/07/23
when he was discharged to the hospital but the task was not resumed on re-admission from the hospital on
2/14/23.
Review of the Medication Regimen Review form dated 2/16/23 revealed the review was for a new
admission for resident #78. The recommendation made to the attending physician to review indicated
resident #78 was recently admitted with Insulin orders without blood glucose monitoring. Please consider
adding twice daily fingersticks for 14 days, notify MD if [blood glucose] <70 or >250, to allow assessment
and adjustment of dosing, if necessary. Review of the document revealed no physician signature to indicate
review of and response to the pharmacist's recommendation.
On 3/09/23 at approximately 11:30 AM the Executive Director was asked to provide the attending
physician's corresponding response to the MRRs provided.
On 3/09/23 at 4:44 PM, the DON stated he called the attending physician today to get his response for the
MRR for resident #78 dated 2/16/23. He confirmed there was still no documentation of the attending
physician's response until today and no associated physician order for blood glucose monitoring until he
entered it today at 12:24 PM. The DON explained his process was after he received an email from the
pharmacist, he would put it in the binder for the attending physician to review. He was unable to say what
happened or why it had not been done.
On 3/09/23 at 2:20 PM, the Regional Nurse stated the facility, specifically the DON, was responsible for
follow up to the pharmacist's medication recommendations. She stated the facility and DON were
disorganized and they could not locate the pharmacy forms which indicated the attending physician's

had either accepted or declined the pharmacist's recommendations with a rationale if declined. She
acknowledged she was unable to find all of the responses and said recommendations were not followed
because, the system was not in place for the nurses to know it had to be done. She explained the DON was
new and was unorganized in his process, so they were unable to find the signed responses from the
attending physicians.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the undated Policy/Procedure, Pharmacy Services-Drug Regimen Review revealed the intent of
the policy was to maintain the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial
well-being, and to prevent or minimize adverse consequences related to medication therapy by providing
oversight by a licensed pharmacist, attending physician, medical director and director of nursing. The
procedure indicated the drug regimen of each resident was to be reviewed at least monthly, any
irregularities would be reported by the pharmacist to the attending physician, medical director and the
DON, and the reports would be acted upon. Furthermore, the procedure described the attending
physician's duty to document that the identified irregularity was reviewed and what if any actions were
taken, or if there were no changes, to document the rationale behind the decision. Additional procedures
included the responsibility of the facility to develop and maintain policies and procedures for this review
which was to include time frames for the different steps in the process and what steps the pharmacist must
take if there was an urgent action needed.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy recommendations that resulted
from monthly Medication Regimen Reviews (MRRs) were addressed and signed by the physician for 2 of 5
residents reviewed for Unnecessary Medications, of a total sample of 31 residents, (#66 & #78).
Findings:
1. Review of the medical record revealed resident #66 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, impulse disorder, insomnia, and seizures.
Review of the resident's medical record revealed active medication orders included Trazodone 100
milligrams (mg) for schizoaffective disorder, ordered on 5/04/21; Zyprexa 5 mg for schizoaffective disorder,
ordered on 8/18/22; and Tramadol 25 mg for pain, ordered on 7/11/22.
Review of the record showed the monthly pharmacy MRR report dated 1/11/23 included the pharmacist's
recommendations to evaluate the need for Tramadol and discontinue if appropriate, as the resident had not
used it recently. A MMR form dated 9/19/22 revealed the pharmacist noted the resident had a recent fall
and Zyprexa could increase the risk. The recommendation was to evaluate, consider tapering the dose or
implementing an alternative treatment. A similar recommendation was made on 9/19/2022 regarding the
medication Trazodone and the increased risk of drowsiness and falls. None of the three recommendations
by the pharmacist were signed by the physician to indicate the document had been reviewed and/or
recommendations addressed.
On 3/09/23 at 4:39 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the process for monthly MRR was to keep the
documents received from the pharmacy in a binder in his office. He explained he recently requested the
pharmacy consultant reprint reviews when he discovered they were missing. He stated the MRR process
was important and should be tracked and completed to avoid adverse effects related to medications.
