This complaint was verbally communicated to the administrator and dietary. This section was signed by the business office manager (BOM) on 11/17/24. This investigation was assigned to dietary staff and the Kitchen Manager on 11/18/24. On the Findings portion of the form, all that was written was, On the menu we have a lot of no meat days. The Plan to Resolve Complaint/Grievance section was left blank. The Expected Results of Actions Taken section only stated, We are just following the menu. This section was not signed or dated. The third section was left blank. This section includes: Was the complaint/grievance resolved?, Is complainant satisfied?, and Who were the investigation findings reported to and how were the results communicated?. The signature and name of who completed that section are blank but Resident # 54 signed it on 11/22/24.

When she was shown the grievances for Residents #54 and #21, she stated that those forms are not filled out correctly because it is unclear what staff did the investigation. She also stated, There is no actual investigation, saying the menu is being followed is not a resolution to a problem, this looks like they never even spoke to the residents. In my opinion those grievances are not acceptable. On 01/09/25 at 12:35 PM, during a meeting with the Facility Administrator (FA), she stated the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on record review, interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure ordered medication was available to 1 of 8 residents observed for medication administration. (Resident #97) Residents Affected - Few The findings included: A medication order for Resident #97 was reviewed and showed that methylprednisolone (a corticosteroid), a medication ordered to treat a flare up of muscular sclerosis (MS), was ordered for 5 days starting on 01/04/2025 but was not started until 01/08/2025. Muscular sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system. An MS flare-up is an episode of new symptoms or a worsening of existing symptoms triggered by inflammation in the central nervous system for which corticosteroids are often prescribed to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. A record review confirmed Resident #97 had a diagnosis of muscular sclerosis. The record for Resident #97 documented the medication was ordered by the Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) on 1/2/2025 and confirmed on 1/3/2025 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C for methylprednisolone sodium succinate injection solution reconstituted 500 MG (milligrams) (Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate). The order stated, Use 500 mg intravenously (IV) one time a day for MS flare for 5 Days. This order was discontinued on 01/06/2025 and the reason for discontinuation was listed as not covered by insurance. On 01/06/2025 at approximately 3:30 pm, an interview with LPN B took place regarding IV access observed in the left elbow of Resident #97. LPN B said she was told during shift turnover report that the medication was not covered by insurance and she did not administer the medication. The evening nurse supervisor, LPN C, was present and joined the interview and called ARNP D to inquire about the medication which was ordered to begin daily administration at 9:00AM on 01/04/2025. ARNP D said in a phone interview that the weekend physician coverage ordered the medication, and she was just hearing about it but could change the order to an oral dose if not covered by insurance for IV administration. On 01/06/2025, ARNP D changed the order to methylprednisolone oral tablet 32 MG (Methylprednisolone), give 20 tablets by mouth one time a day for MS flare for 5 Days. On 01/07/2025 at 2:33 PM, during observation of medication administration with LPN C, Resident #97 asked LPN C about getting the steroid to treat the flare up. LPN C explained the medication was not approved through her insurance. Later, LPN C explained the medication was still not available and had to be paid for by the facility. The medication administration record (MAR) for the doses scheduled at 9:00AM on 01/04/2025, 01/05/2025, and 01/06/2025 were initialed and included the code 12 which is noted on the MAR to indicate Medication on order from pharmacy/MD aware. The record contained no documentation of notification to an ordering provider. A review of the MAR on 01/09/2025 for Resident #97 contained documentation that the 9:00AM daily dose of oral methylprednisolone on 01/07/2025 was coded as 12 = medication on order from pharmacy/MD aware.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 01/08/2025 at 10:51 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said in an interview that medication not covered by insurance is not a valid reason for not administering a medication and the DON or a nurse supervisor should have been contacted to get a pharmacy override to administer the medication. ARNP D was present during the interview. The DON agreed that this example is considered a missed dose of medication and should have been communicated to her. The DON said she was made aware of the situation on 01/07/2025 and put in an override to the pharmacy to obtain the medication. The DON was asked to provide a policy about missed doses of medications but stated in a later interview on 01/09/2025 there may not be a policy specific to missed doses of medication. Review of policy titled Standards and Guidelines: Medication Administration; Section: Pharmacy Services, issued 10/2020 and most recent revision 01/2024 listed under the procedures Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame and medication errors are documented, reported, and reviewed by the QAPI committee to inform process changes and or the need for additional staff training.

Employee A then placed her soiled, gloved hand into her pocket to obtain her marker. She then dated a dressing with the marker and applied the dressing over the wound. After completing the dressing, Employee A placed the marker back in her pocket and did not sanitize the marker. An interview was conducted with Employee A on 1/8/25 at 10:51 AM directly after this observation. Employee A stated she had not been provided any formal wound care training in the facility. She stated she did not realize she placed her soiled, gloved hand in her pocket and normally she would date the dressing before she begins wound care. She stated she should have cleaned the marker before putting it back in her pocket. Review of the facility policy Cleaning/Disinfecting Equipment (revised 6/2024) revealed reusable items are cleaned and disinfected between residents. Resident #156 An observation of Resident #156 was conducted on 1/8/25 at 4:57 PM. A PICC line was in his left upper arm with a dressing dated 12/31/24. Further observation of Resident #156 was conducted on 1/9/25 at 9:36 AM in the presence of the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON observed the PICC dressing and stated the dressing should have been changed weekly or as ordered by the physician. She verified the date on the dressing was 12/31/24 and stated it should have been changed by 1/7/25. (Photographic evidence obtained.) A review of Resident #156's medical record revealed a current physician order dated 1/5/25 to change the PICC dressing every 7 days and as needed. Review of the medication record revealed the dressing change was scheduled to begin on 1/5/25. The medication record was blank and not signed off for the PICC dressing change on 1/5/25.
