He stated this was the first time he had been out of bed in a very long time. He explained the reason he had to get up was to attend the care plan meeting. Both the resident and his wife said they had voiced a lot of issues to the facility, but the concerns did not seem to be addressed. Resident #94's wife said she had even filed a grievance last month but had not heard anything back. She said she often spoke to the resident care unit (RCU) Unit Manager (UM), but felt she often talked around her issues. The wife said she did not think anything had been resolved, I do not remember signing the grievance or having a discussion that there was any resolution to my concerns.

She heard from other staff that he often refused but recalled she once saw him out of bed for a doctor's appointment.

She continued to explain that this would have been handled by the RCU UM and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and they would have information about it. On 2/11/26 at 4:27 PM, the RCU UM said she did not know anything about the grievance filed on behalf of resident #94 and the only reason it might have taken longer than two weeks was because they might not have been able to contact the family. The RCU UM explained that during that time, she was on vacation and the ADON was handling the grievances. On 2/11/26 at 4:47 PM, the ADON provided a copy of the grievance and stated she remembered it was resolved over the phone with resident #94's wife.

Review of the admission Minimum Data Set assessment with reference date 11/30/25 revealed resident #33's cognition was intact with a brief interview of mental status score of 15 out of 15. Review of resident #33's plan of care showed the resident had the following skin impairments: rash in right lower quadrant of the abdominal folds, scalp seborrheic dermatitis, right dorsal hand wound and stasis dermatitis on bilateral lower legs. Interventions included instruction for nurses to perform wound care treatments as ordered. Physician's orders included Urea External Cream 40% (Urea), applied to bilateral lower legs topically every day shift for stasis dermatitis) for six months, Hibiclens External Solution 4% (Chlorhexidine Gluconate) applied to lower legs topically every day for stasis dermatitis and Ketoconazole External Shampoo 2% (Ketoconazole (Topical)) applied to scalp topically every day shift for seborrheic dermatitis. On 2/10/25 at between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C, was observed during medication administration for resident #33. LPN C administered five oral medications. A short time later, during medication reconciliation, a review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR), revealed the resident received Hibiclens External solution, Ketoconazole External Shampoo and Urea external cream in addition to the five oral medications observed. A further review of the medication administration audit report showed LPN C administered Hibiclens External Solution at 8:57 AM, ketoconazole external shampoo at 9:16 AM, and Urea External cream at 9:16 AM. On 2/10/26 at 1:24 PM, resident #33 was sitting up in his wheelchair and said no creams or other topical medicine were applied to his legs today nor did he receive the shampoo to his scalp. The resident explained sometimes he got the creams in the afternoon but said he didn't ask for the medications when he did not get them. On 2/10/26 at 1:33 AM, LPN C explained he documented after providing treatment or after giving medication and not before. LPN C acknowledged he documented the medications were given before they were actually administered to the resident. He confirmed he should have documented after the treatment was applied not prior but could not say why he did. At that time, the Director of Nursing (DON) who was standing next to LPN C at the nurse's station, was told that resident #81's topical medications were documented as performed when they had not actually been given. The DON acknowledged the MAR was inaccurate because it showed the treatment was applied, when it was not. She stated her expectation was for nurses to document immediately after medications were administered or treatment were applied, not beforehand. The facility's policy on Medication Administration dated 4/01/22 indicated medications were administered in a timely manner and as prescribed by the physician unless otherwise clinically indicated or necessitated by other circumstances such as lack of availability of medication or refusals of medication by the resident. In section 12, the policy described, Should a drug be withheld, refused or given other than the scheduled time, the individual administering the medication will document this in the clinical record.
