This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0661 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure necessary information is communicated to the resident, and receiving health care provider at the time of a planned discharge. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to provide a complete and appropriate discharge summary by failing to reconcile pre-discharge and post-discharge medications for one (Resident #199) of three residents reviewed for discharges, from a total sample of 24 residents. The findings include: A review of Resident #199's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/1/2021, and the resident was discharged home on [DATE]. The resident's medical diagnoses included adrenal insufficiency and hypotension. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/6/2021, revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15 points, indicating intact cognition. Resident #199 required extensive to total assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). A review of a provider progress note dated 11/20/2021, authored by the resident's attending physician, indicated the resident's blood pressure log was reviewed and persistent hypotension (low blood pressure) was noted. The note further indicated the resident's metoprolol and furosemide medications were discontinued. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A review of the resident's pre-discharge medication list revealed the orders for metoprolol and furosemide were discontinued on 11/12/2021 due to the resident's recurring hypotensive episodes. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A review of the resident's post-discharge medication list, provided to the resident at the time of discharge, revealed orders for furosemide and metoprolol. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) On 12/01/2021 at 3:35 p.m., an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B. She was asked to review the post-discharge medication list. She confirmed that the list was the one given to the resident's wife at the time of discharge. The nurse was asked to review the resident's pre-discharge medication orders and compare them to the medications on the post-discharge list provided to Resident #199's wife at the time of discharge. LPN B explained that she had not reconciled the medication lists prior to the resident discharging, and that upon further review, she found that the metoprolol and furosemide should have been removed from the post-discharge medication list. On 12/02/2021 at 1:30 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Unit Manager. She was asked to explain the facility's process for reconciliation of pre-discharge and post-discharge medications to ensure a safe discharge. She acknowledged that LPN B failed to reconcile the medications, and stated she wasn't sure why the nurse had failed to carry out the task. The Unit Manager explained that 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 0661 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few medication list provided to the resident at the time of discharge should only include medications that were active up to the point of discharge, in addition to any new orders the provider may have written with the discharge orders. The facility's policy for discharges, titled Discharge Summary (last reviewed on 8/10/2021) defined medication reconciliation as a process of comparing pre-discharge medications to post-discharge medications by creating an accurate list of both prescription and over the counter medications that included the drug name, dosage, frequency, route, and indication for use for the purpose of preventing unintended changes or omissions at transition points in care. The policy directed staff to conduct a reconciliation of all pre-discharge medications with the post-discharge medications and noted that any discrepancies or differences found during the reconciliation must be assessed and resolved, and the resolution documented in the discharge summary, along with a rationale for any changes. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) According to WebMD (accessed on 12/2/2021 at 4 p.m.) at https://www.webmd.com/heart/understanding-low-blood-pressure-basics), hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure (less than 90/60). A blood pressure reading appears as two numbers. The first and higher of the two is a measure of systolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and fills them with blood. The second number measures diastolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. According to MedlinePlus (accessed on 12/2/2021 at 4:10 p.m.) at https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682864.html), metoprolol is a medication that is used to treat high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure. According to MedlinePlus (accessed on 12/2/2021 at 4:15 p.m.) at https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a682858.html), furosemide is a medication that is used to treat high blood pressure. It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine. .

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #41) of two residents reviewed for nutritional risk, out of 24 sampled residents, was properly monitored for acceptable parameters of nutritional status. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure Resident #41 received appropriate nutritional interventions as ordered by the physician. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: A review of Resident #41's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her primary diagnosis was unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance. Additional diagnoses included muscle weakness, difficulty walking, a need for assistance with personal care, hypothyroidism, anxiety disorder, hyperlipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, and dysphagia. The 10/8/2021 MDS (minimum data set) assessment documented a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) of 5 out of a possible 15 points, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The resident was documented as requiring supervision with one-person physical assistance for eating. She was documented as weighing 128 lbs., and was noted to have had a weight loss of 5% or more in the last month, or a loss of 10% or more in the last 6 months. Further review of the record revealed the the following documented weights: 5/15/2021 137 lbs. 6/5/2021 140 lbs. 7/3/2021 135 lbs. 8/8/2021 134 lbs. 9/24/2021 131 lbs. 10/2/2021 128 lbs. 11/23/2021 128 lbs. The resident had no weight loss in the last 30 days, a 4.48% weight loss in the last 90 days, and a weight loss of 6.57% in the last 6 months. This indicated a downward trend. A care plan, initiated on 11/20/2021 with the last revision on 12/1/2021, documented that the resident continued with significant weight loss, 10% over the past 6 months related to dementia. Despite interventions of an appetite stimulant, nutrition supplements, liberalization of diet, and fortified foods, she continued to lose weight. Her BMI (body mass index) was documented at 22.7, at the low end of the desired range for her age. Interventions included administration of medications as ordered, to provide and serve diet as ordered, and for the RD (registered dietitian) to evaluate and make diet change recommendations PRN (as needed). A physician's order was documented in the electronic medication administration record (eMAR) for October and November 2021 that indicated a 5/21/2021 order for Megestrol Acetate Suspension 400 mg (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105962 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 10 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105962 B.

F 0692 (milligrams)/10 ml (milliliters), give 10 milliliter by mouth one time a day for appetite stimulant. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A telephone physician's order was documented in the resident's chart for 10/11/2021 to increase Megace to 400 mg twice a day. This physician's order was not transcribed to the resident's active record. Residents Affected - Few A physician's progress note on 11/17/2021 documented that the resident had been ordered an increase of Megace to twice daily. An interview was conducted with the RD (registered dietitian) on 12/2/2021 at 2:25 p.m. She said she came into the facility three days a week as a consultant and participated in the weekly Nutritional At Risk meetings. She looked to see if a resident was continuing to lose weight, or if interventions were not working. Any recommendations, including requests for a medication for appetite stimulant, were sent to the physician. The RD said Registered Nurse (RN) A would give the order recommendations to the physician, and she would then review the records to ensure the order was implemented in the resident's record. She said she had spoken to Resident #41 on 11/1/2021 about her nutritional needs. The resident told her she liked ice cream, but not the house shakes. The RD said the resident had a physician's order for Megace, but upon review of the resident record, she was not aware there had been a new physician's order in October to double the administration of the medication in October. She said she was not working at the facility then, but would follow-up. An interview was conducted with Registered Nurse (RN) A on 12/2/2021 at 2:51 p.m. She said the facility's process was that the RD would give her nutritional recommendations that she would then put in the computer. She said the physician told her that she could put supplements into the resident's record. The physician would give medication orders to the nurse on duty, who would be the one responsible for putting the information in the resident's record. She said an RD communication to the physician, as a telephone order, would get flagged so the nurse could see it. The night nurse would also follow-up with flagged orders to make sure they were documented. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/2/2021 at 3:28 p.m. She said the RD had informed her that there was a physician's order to increase the Megace for Resident #41 that had not been put into the resident's active orders. She said she was not aware that there was a telephone order that had not been transcribed. She said she told the nursing staff that they would start doing 24 hour night checks for the physician orders. .

F 0694 Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to administer intravenous fluids to improve low blood pressure for one (Resident #199) of one resident reviewed for intravenous fluids from a total sample of 24 residents. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: A review of Resident #199's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/1/2021. The resident's medical diagnoses included adrenal insufficiency, atrial fibrillation, and hypotension. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/6/2021, revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15 points, indicating intact cognition. Resident #199 required extensive to total assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). A review of a provider progress note, dated 11/20/2021, authored by the resident's attending physician, indicated the resident's blood pressure log was reviewed and persistent hypotension (low blood pressure) was noted. The resident's metoprolol and furosemide were discontinued, and the resident reported that intravenous fluids made him feel better. The diagnosis, assessment, and plan directed staff to start normal saline intravenously at 70 milliliters per hour for 2 liters and to continue monitoring vital signs every shift. Staff were also directed to notify the physician for a systolic blood pressure of less than 100 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A nursing progress note dated 11/23/2021 at 11:12 a.m., indicated the resident was noted with hypotension. The physician was notified. Orders were obtained for intravenous fluids and to transfer the resident to the hospital. Resident #199 requested not to be transferred to the hospital, and additional orders were received to continue treatment at the facility. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A review of the physician's orders revealed an order dated 11/23/2021 at 11:11 a.m., which directed staff to monitor the resident's blood pressure every 8 hours and administer 2 liters of normal saline as needed for a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of less than 100. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A review of Resident #199's blood pressures revealed the following entries: 11/24/2021 at 12:41 p.m. 95/50 11/28/2021 at 2:23 p.m. 82/52 11/29/2021 at 12:02 p.m. 98/60 11/30/2021 2:03 p.m. 94/54 (Photographic Evidence Obtained) On 11/30/2021 at 3:34 p.m., an observation of Resident #199 revealed he was not receiving intravenous fluids. His wife was at the bedside. A review of Resident #199's medication administration record (MAR) for November 2021, revealed no documented administration of the ordered normal saline on 11/24/2021, 11/28/2021, 11/29/2021, or 11/30/2021.

F 0694 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Further review of the resident's nursing progress notes revealed no notes referencing the episodes of low blood pressure or notifications of the physician on 11/24/2021, 11/28/2021, 11/29/2021, or 11/30/2021. A review of the resident's comprehensive care plans revealed a focus area for the potential for fluid deficit related to diuretic use. Interventions included administration of medications as ordered, enteral feeding and water flushes as ordered, and labs and diagnostics as ordered. On 12/01/2021 at 10:22 a.m., an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B. She acknowledged that she was caring for Resident #199. She reviewed the resident's electronic physician's orders, confirmed the order for normal saline, and that it was to be given for systolic blood pressures of less than 100 mmHg. The nurse then reviewed the MAR for November 2021 and confirmed that the normal saline had not been administered on 11/24/2021, 11/28/2021, 11/29/2021, or 11/30/2021. She stated she had been off for a week and she wasn't sure why the resident had not received the normal saline as it was ordered. On 12/01/2021 at 1:51 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). She was asked to review Resident #199's medical record. The DON confirmed the order for monitoring the resident's blood pressure and administration of normal saline for an SBP <100 (systolic blood pressure of less than 100). The DON was asked how the facility monitored physician's orders to ensure they were being carried out. She stated she would look into it. No additional information was received. A review of the facility's process for management of low blood pressure titled Blood Pressure Decrease, directed nursing staff to check vital signs frequently and to administer IV (intravenous) fluids as prescribed. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) According to WebMD (accessed on 12/2/2021 at 4 p.m.) at https://www.webmd.com/heart/understanding-low-blood-pressure-basics, Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure (less than 90/60).

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic 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 record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that 1) A resident received antipsychotic medication as prescribed, and 2) As needed (PRN) antipsychotic medication had a stop date, for one (Resident #53) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications from a total sample of 24 residents. The findings include: On 12/01/21 at 10:59 AM, Resident #53 was observed lying in bed on her back with her eyes closed. She was difficult to awaken with verbal commands. A review of the clinical record indicated that Resident#53 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included sepsis, type II diabetes mellitus, dementia with behavioral disturbance, and major depressive disorder. A review of the physician's orders, revealed an 11/16/21 order for lorazepam (Ativan), 1 mg (milligram) every eight hours for anxiety, and lorazepam (Ativan) 1 mg every four hours as needed for anxiety, and depakote 125 mg at bedtime (HS). There was no stop date for the as needed lorazepam order. (Copy obtained) A review of the Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/15/21, revealed that Resident #53 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 9 out of a possible 15 points, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. She required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfers, eating and toilet use. A review of the Care Plan indicated the resident had: Behavior problems related to dementia. She is noted to yell out frequently, change needs during conversation and at times response is not relevant to the situation; has impaired cognitive ability/impaired thought process related dementia with history of cerebral infarction; is at risk for change in mood or behavior due to diagnosis of depression and risk for becoming withdrawn and depressed (resident receives escitalopram for depression); uses antianxiety medication related to anxiety disorder, uses antidepressant medication related depression.
