Social Services reported that the night shift's nurse supervisor (Staff E) never told her about Resident
#125's request to be assisted with a phone. If Staff E had reported it to Social Services, they would have
taken care of the situation as a grievance and applied for a phone call from the government program for
Resident #125, which was done after they found out yesterday. The Director of Social Services was asked
about the facility's grievance procedure, the Director of Social Services reported; the procedure is anyone
can report a grievance, as long as a resident reports any concerns, the staff receiving the concern should
fill out the grievance form and give it to Social Services for an investigation and follow up. The facility's
Social Services Department has the grievance policy and procedures together with the blank grievance
forms at every nursing station inside a bin attached to the wall. The official grievance information is posted
all around the building with the Director of Social Services name and where she can be reached. At times if
the staff brings the concern verbally, Social Services will fill out the form and proceed with the grievance.
During an interview with Staff Q, RN on 03/09/23 at 01:30 PM, Staff Q revealed she is not aware of the
grievance procedure because had recently started working in the facility, and she was not so familiar with
long term care. Staff Q was asked how she would proceed if a resident voiced a request or complaint, Staff
Q stated, I will resolve it. When Staff Q was asked how she would resolve it, she reported it would depend
on the situation. When she was given specific situations like resident complaining about the food she stated
she would call the kitchen to bring other choice of food that resident would like to eat, asked how she would
do it of the concern is about missing personal property she stated she would tell the CNA (Certified Nursing
Assistant) so she can search and if needed contact the laundry. When asked how she would proceed if the
clothes were not found, Staff Q stated, I will tell the supervisor. When asked if she was familiar with the
grievance procedure, Staff Q stated she did not know anything about grievances, and she did not know
about the grievance forms placed in the bin in the nurses' station.

Residents Affected - Some
On 3/06/2023 at 4:00 AM, upon entering the third-floor dining room. Resident # 9 was observed asleep in a
recliner with the footrest propped up by a dining room chair, between a wall and a column/pillar.
(Photographic and video evidence)
In an interview conducted on 03/06/2023 at 4:11 AM Staff E, a Registered Nurse (Night Supervisor). Was
asked why the residents were sleeping in the dining room. Staff E stated The residents are alone in the
room; they try to get out of bed. The nurse will bring them here to guarantee that they are not falling. We
bring them all in one area. When asked if this was the normal routine? Staff E stated No, it's only if I don't
have enough CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). I have four CNAs on the floor. These residents are
getting out of bed and at risk of falling. We have tried non-pharmacological interventions.
During an interview conducted on 03/06/2023 at 04:52 AM Staff E in the presence of the Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON). Staff E stated: On the 3rd floor there are 58 residents, two nurses, three CNAs. On the
2nd floor there are 60 residents, four CNAs and three nurses. If the patients are trying to get out of bed. We
ask if they are in pain and if they are hungry. It depends on their level of consciousness. They still want to
get out of bed. Staff E stated that the CNAs made the decision on the position of the residents. Staff E was
asked about Resident #9 who was placed between the wall and the column with the dining chair propping
up the footrest of the recliner restricting the resident's movements. Staff E stated: The patient has a history
of falls. We place residents here in the dining room, all in one area so that we can look after them in one
spot. The ADON added that the residents in the dining room have a history of falls or have a risk of falls.
On 03/06/2023 at 05:03 AM, Staff E, RN was asked; who gave the instructions to place the residents in the
dining room?. Staff E reported that for all shifts, if the residents want to get out of bed; We placed them in
the dining room. Many of them want to get out of bed and we bring them here. During the 7:00 AM to 3:00
PM shift, we have activities. At night, one CNA will attend to the residents. There were too many residents
restless. Staff E reported this quantity is for tonight, 2 or 3 may be in room. The nurses bring the residents.
The residents have problem sleeping, so we bring them to the dining room. When asked who was
responsible for ensuring care was being provided for the residents, Staff E revealed, a CNA is designated
to be in the dining room with the residents. The CNA who is designated for the resident will come pick up
the resident to provide care.
On 03/06/2023 at 5:15 AM, Staff C, Registered Nurse was asked if he was assigned to any of the residents
observed in the third-floor dining area, Staff C Registered Nurse stated, I have four residents here. Staff C
was asked about the interventions in place for the residents to help with the behaviors. Staff C reported that
Resident # 52 always gets up at 4:00 AM. When a resident gets restless or gets out of bed. We try all the
non-drugs therapy such as asking them if they would like water, food, TV, we try everything. If those don't
work, we bring them to the dining room. If you don't, the resident is on the floor. We talk to them. If residents
have a scheduled or as needed medication, it's at 9:00 PM. The CNA that works here in the dining the room
looks after the residents. Long time ago it was one to one. It can be one or two or five at its peak. Usually,
one will go to bed, and we may have just three or four for the night. My personal opinion it's not good and
it's not good for sleeping. The dining room is for activities. If the resident is unbalanced it's better to put
them in

a recliner like that. This is not the first night. I was going up and down on the floor. I've been working here
for 9 to 10 years. I have abuse and neglect training with other organizations. Staff C was asked if having the
residents sleeping in the dining area in recliners with chairs restricting the footrest and not providing care
as a form of abuse and neglect. Staff C stated: Yes, you can say that is a neglectful situation. This is not on
me. It's not my last decision. Staff C was asked what is expected of Staff K who was sleeping while
Resident #52 was complaining of being wet and needed to go to the bathroom what should have been
done in that case. Staff C Registered Nurse stated The C.N.A (certified nursing assistant) cannot leave the
area. He just has to pass the word and we take it from there. Sleeping is forbidden. Unless he is on break in
his car. Staff C was asked if it was ok for Resident # 9 to have been placed between the column and the
wall. Who was responsible for checking the resident if he checked the resident and who placed the resident
in that position and location. Staff C stated No, this is not acceptable at all (and shook his head). Everybody
is supposed to check on the residents. I didn't come here at all .I had to be on my feet. I have two or three
who are trying to pull urinary catheter. When asked Does the supervisor do rounds? Staff C stated Yes, [
Staff E] is doing his work. My night was hectic. I was having three or four who trying to pull the urinary
catheter or feeding tube.
In an interview conducted on 03/06/2023 at 5:40 AM, Staff H a Registered Nurse was asked if this was the
norm. Staff H stated It a special situation. It's not always the same residents here. Some are in their bed.
But today it's a different situation. I believe they wake up at two or three in the morning. We are to bring
them to the dining room. When they go to sleep, we bring them back to bed. When they are brought in here.
They are supervised with the television on, and we provide water. I don't know if the television was on
today. There are some residents who like to watch TV. Only if the resident asks for the TV (television), we
put the TV on. If they are sleeping, we put them back in the room. They call the nurse and CNA we tell the
resident. [Resident #52] always ask for the TV. Staff K stated regarding Staff K, No, [Staff K] cannot sleep
here. I have been working here for 2 years. Staff H was asked if the situation the residents were in and the
position with the chairs under the recliner and Resident #9 between the column and the wall was
considered as restraint, and abuse and neglect. Staff H stated It would be better in the room. It's not the
best situation. It's not the correct thing. When they are in the bed they are very active, they cannot
communicate, they don't push call light and are a high risk for falls. After they identify them, they go and see
if they have as needed medication, if they don't, we bring them to dining room for one to two hours. If they
fall asleep, we take them back to the room. No, recliners are not supposed to be used as a bed. When they
go back to their room, they are placed in the bed Regarding Resident #9, Staff H stated Yes, I am aware
that if she was in between the walls she is restrained. I didn't see her. Yes, it is a form of restraint. Staff H
was asked if restraining a resident is a type of abuse and if she would have reported abuse and neglect and
if in this case abuse and neglect would be reported today? Staff H stated: Yes it's a type of abuse. When I
am taking care of resident. If I see the resident is being restrained, I stop it. Yes, I report abuse and neglect.
I have not reported neglect. This is not something that happens all day. I come to this floor once in a while. I
would have brought this to attention of the supervisor today. Sometimes, I even ask the staff to bring the
resident to the room. I didn't know that resident wanted to be taken to restroom. There is a CNA here, staff
assigned is supposed to be paying attention to her request. Today, I was in front.
In follow up interview on 03/06/2023 at 7:42 AM Staff E was asked who placed Resident # 9 between the
wall and a column restricted in the recliner. Staff E reported it was Staff N, a CNA. Staff E was asked if Staff
K, (the CNA assigned in the dining room) was aware that the resident was placed

between the wall and column? Staff E reported that Staff K, CNA was not aware that Staff N had placed
Resident #9 between the column and the wall. Staff E added that: It's not supposed to happen like that. The
CNA did that as a mistake. The resident is not supposed to be around the wall and column. Staff E reported
Staff N, was the CNA, she made a mistake. Staff E was asked about trainings received. Staff E stated he
has been working in the facility for 13 years, and received abuse and neglect training. In that case, the CNA
did not accomplish what he was supposed to do. Staff E explained that the purpose of placing residents in
the dining room is prevention when the patient does not want to sleep during the night. They must take the
residents to an area that they can be monitored for their safety. In that case, we bring them to the dining
room, do some type of activity until they sleep. We bring them back to bed. That's the goal. Staff E stated
They are supposed to be here watching TV and activities. They are not supposed to stay here the whole
night. They are not to be sleeping. The nurses and the night supervisor do rounds. Staff E reported the
types of activities would include listening to music or watching television. Staff E acknowledged the
television was not on in the dining room where the residents were placed and there was no music playing at
the time of the observation. Staff E was asked if he conducted rounds specifically in the dining area where
the residents were placed. Staff E responded: No, I didn't go. I used to do rounds in that area. Tonight, I
didn't do it because I had paperwork, admission paperwork on my computer. I was supposed to. I was
planning to do it through the night. didn't have time to go. Staff E was asked if it was acceptable for the
residents to sleep in the recliners, Staff E was also informed that the resident was not provided with
incontinent care, and if it was acceptable for Staff K to be asleep with his feet up on another chair instead of
monitoring the residents. Staff E stated: The recliners are not meant to be for sleeping purposes. They are
not there to sleep. The CNAs are supposed to immediately contact the nurse. Another CNA brings them
back to their room. [ Staff K] is not supposed to be sleeping there. This is completely wrong. This is not how
we instructed [Staff K]. The CNA did not accomplish the duty to which he was assigned. I didn't know
residents were soaked in urine. The CNA is supposed to check on the residents needs and to report to the
other staff or the CNAs.

asked why the residents were in the dining room. Staff E stated The residents are alone in the room; they
try to get out of bed. The nurse will bring them here to guarantee that they are not falling. We bring them all
in one area. When asked if this was the normal routine? Staff E stated No, it's only if I don't have enough
CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). I have four CNAs on the floor. These residents are getting out of bed
and at risk of falling. We have tried non-pharmacological interventions.
During an interview conducted on 03/06/23 at 04:52 AM Staff E in the presence of the Assistant Director of

2nd floor there are 60 residents, four CNAs and three nurses. If the patients are trying to get out of bed. We
ask if they are in pain and if they are hungry. It depends on their level of consciousness. They still want to
get out of bed. Staff E stated that the CNAs made the decision on the position of the residents. Staff E was
asked about Resident #9 who was placed between the wall and the column with the dining chair propping
up the footrest of the recliner restricting the resident's movements. Staff E stated: The patient has a history
of falls. We place residents here in the dining room, all in one area so that we can look after them in one
spot. The ADON added that the residents in the dining room have a history of falls or have a risk of falls. On

room?. Staff E reported that for all shifts, if the residents want to get out of bed; We placed them in the
dining room. Many of them want to get out of bed and we bring them here. During the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM
shift, we have activities. At night, one CNA will attend to the residents. There were too many residents
restless. Staff E reported this quantity is for tonight, 2 or 3 may be in room. The nurses bring the residents.
The residents have problem sleeping, so we bring them to the dining room. When asked who was
responsible for ensuring care was being provided for the residents, Staff E revealed, a CNA is designated
to be in the dining room with the residents. The CNA who is designated for the resident will come pick up
the resident to provide care.

have a scheduled or as needed medication, it's at 9:00 PM. The CNA that works here in the dining the room
looks after the residents. Long time ago it was one to one. It can be one or two or five at its peak. Usually,
one will go to bed, and we may have just three or four for the night. My personally opinion it's not good and
it's not good for sleeping. The dining room is for activities. If the resident is unbalanced it's better to put
them in a recliner like that. This is not the first night. I was going up and down on the floor. I've been

working here for 9 to 10 years. I have abuse and neglect training with other organizations. Staff C was
asked if having the residents sleeping in the dining area in recliners with chairs restricting the footrest and
not providing care as a form of abuse and neglect. Staff C stated: Yes, you can say that is a neglectful
situation. This is not on me. It's not my last decision. Staff C was asked what is expected of Staff K who was
sleeping while Resident #52 was complaining of being wet and needed to go to the bathroom what should
have been done in that case. Staff C Registered Nurse stated The C.N.A (certified nursing assistant)
cannot leave the area. He just has to pass the word and we take it from there. Sleeping is forbidden. Unless
he is on break in his car. Staff C was asked if it was ok for Resident # 9 to have been placed between the
column and the wall. Who was responsible for checking the resident if he checked the resident and who
placed the resident in that position and location. Staff C stated No, this is not acceptable at all (and shook
his head). Everybody is supposed to check on the residents. I didn't come here at all .I had to be on my
feet. I have two or three who are trying to pull urinary catheter. When asked Does the supervisor do
rounds? Staff C stated Yes, [ Staff E] is doing his work. My night was hectic. I was having three or four who
trying to pull the urinary catheter or feeding tube.
In an interview conducted on 03/06/23 at 5:40 AM, Staff H a Registered Nurse was asked if this was the
norm. Staff H stated It a special situation. It's not always the same residents here. Some are in their bed.
But today it's a different situation. I believe they wake up at two or three in the morning. We are to bring
them to the dining room. When they go to sleep, we bring them back to bed. When they are brought in here.
They are supervised with the television on, and we provide water. I don't know if the television was on
today. There are some residents who like to watch TV. Only if the resident asks for the TV (television), we
put the TV on. If they are sleeping, we put them back in the room. [Resident #52] always ask for the TV.
Staff H stated regarding Staff K, No, [Staff K] cannot sleep here. I have been working here for 2 years. Staff
H was asked if the situation the residents were in and the position with the chairs under the recliner and
Resident #9 between the column and the wall was considered as restraint, and abuse and neglect. Staff H
stated It would be better in the room. It's not the best situation. It's not the correct thing. When they are in
the bed they are very active, they cannot communicate, they don't push call light and are a high risk for
falls. After they identify them, they go and see if they have as needed medication, if they don't, we bring
them to dining room for one to two hours. If they fall asleep, we take them back to the room. No, recliners
are not supposed to be used as a bed. When they go back to their room, they are placed in the bed
Regarding Resident #9, Staff H stated Yes, I am aware that if she was in between the walls she is
restrained. I didn't see her. Yes, it is a form of restraint. Staff H was asked if restraining a resident is a type
of abuse and if she would have reported abuse and neglect and if in this case abuse and neglect would be
reported today? Staff H stated: Yes it's a type of abuse. When I am taking care of resident. If I see the
resident is being restrained, I stop it. Yes, I report abuse and neglect. I have not reported neglect. This is not
something that happens all day. I come to this floor once in a while. I would have brought this to attention of
the supervisor today. Sometimes, I even ask the staff to bring the resident to the room. I didn't know that
resident wanted to be taken to restroom. There is a CNA here, staff assigned is supposed to be paying
attention to her request. Today, I was in front.
In follow up interview on 03/06/23 at 7:42 AM Staff E was asked who placed Resident # 9 between the wall
and a column restricted in the recliner. Staff E reported it was Staff N, a CNA. Staff E was asked if Staff K,
(the CNA assigned in the dining room) was aware that the resident was placed between the wall and
column? Staff E reported that Staff K, CNA was not aware that Staff N had placed Resident #9 between the
column and the wall. Staff

E added that: It's not supposed to happen like that. The CNA did that as a mistake. The resident is not
supposed to be around the wall and column. Staff E reported Staff N, was the CNA, she made a mistake.
Staff E was asked about trainings received. Staff E stated he has been working in the facility for 13 years,
and received abuse and neglect training. In that case, the CNA did not accomplish what he was supposed
to do. Staff E explained that the purpose of placing residents in the dining room is prevention when the
patient does not want to sleep during the night. They must take the residents to an area that they can be
monitored for their safety. In that case, we bring them to the dining room, do some type of activity until they
sleep. We bring them back to bed. That's the goal. Staff E stated They are supposed to be here watching TV
and activities. They are not supposed to stay here the whole night. They are not to be sleeping. The nurses
and the night supervisor do rounds. Staff E reported the types of activities would include listening to music
or watching television. Staff E acknowledged the television was not on in the dining room where the
residents were placed and there was no music playing at the time of the observation. Staff E was asked if
he conducted rounds specifically in the dining area where the residents were placed. Staff E responded:
No, I didn't go. I used to do rounds in that area. Tonight, I didn't do it because I had paperwork, admission
paperwork on my computer. I was supposed to. I was planning to do it through the night. didn't have time to
go. Staff E was asked if it was acceptable for the residents to sleep in the recliners, Staff E was also
informed that the resident was not provided with incontinent care, and if it was acceptable for Staff K to be
asleep with his feet up on another chair instead of monitoring the residents. Staff E stated: The recliners are
not meant to be for sleeping purposes. They are not there to sleep. The CNAs are supposed to immediately
contact the nurse. Another CNA brings them back to their room. [ Staff E] is not supposed to be sleeping
there. This is completely wrong. This is not how we instructed [Staff K]. The CNA did not accomplish the
duty to which he was assigned. I didn't know residents were soaked in urine. The CNA is supposed to
check on the residents needs and to report to the other staff or the CNAs.

residents were alone in their room, they tried to get out of bed. The nurse brought them here to guarantee
that they were not falling. Residents that were like this, we brought them all in one area. It was not the

room in recliners facing the wall. The television (TV) off, and that the seven residents are in the dining room
at this time. The DON reported the residents are placed in the dining room to decrease the pharmacological
interventions for the residents and to have an activity. The DON and the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure pharmaceutical services and
procedures were being followed for one (2nd Floor East Cart) out of three medication carts observed of the
six medication carts in the facility.
The findings included:
During observation of the 2nd Floor East Cart on 03/07/23 at 11:16 AM with Licensed Practical Nurse (Staff
A), the Narcotic Count for Resident #27 was incorrect- Clonazepam 0.5 Milligrams (MG) (1) tablet count
was fourteen (14) in narcotic book, last signed out on 03/07/22 at 9AM. The Medication Bingo card count
was fifteen (15), the Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) documented resident #27
received Clonazepam 0.5 Milligrams (MG) (1) tablet on 03/07/23 at 9AM.
Review of the medical records for Resident #27 revealed resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Clinical diagnoses included but not limited to: Anxiety Disorder Unspecified.
Review of the Physician's Orders Sheet for March 2023 revealed Resident #27 had orders that included but
not limited to: Clonazepam Tablet 0.5 MG (1) tablet. Give 1 tablet by mouth every 12 hours related to
Anxiety Disorder Unspecified.
Record review of Resident # 27's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed: Section C for
Cognitive Patterns documented- Brief Interview for Mental Status Score (BIMS) as 9 out of 15 indicating the
resident moderately impaired cognitively.
Interview on 03/07/23 at 11:35 AM Licensed Practical Nurse, Staff A stated she is not sure what happened,
I gave the resident her medication, I will call the supervisor and we will go over the narcotics to figure out
what happened.
Interview on 03/09/23 at 08:37 AM Registered Nurse Supervisor, (Staff B) stated Staff A called me right
away to her cart after the surveyor left, Staff A clarified that she had not given the medication to the
resident, she saw surveyors in the hallway, and she got nervous and forgot. I called the resident's physician
(MD) to let him know what happened, he said it was ok to give the medication at that time. In the narcotic
book, the nurse signed as an error with me as a witness and then signed the new order as given at 11:15
AM. I did an education with all the nurses about giving narcotic medications and all medications, and
double and triple checking their medications. Our policy here on narcotics is: every shift in and out the
nurses verify the narcotic count on each medication cart. Verification is done by both nurses; narcotics are
signed out immediately in the narcotic book when removed from the bingo card and signed off on the
EMAR once it is given. If the resident refuses the narcotic, on the EMAR we document the refusal, educate
the resident, notify MD, document in nursing notes, destroy the medication with the drugbuster on the
medication cart with another nurse as a witness, and document the destruction in the narcotic book.
Review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure titled, Schedule II Controlled Substance Medication
states: Section H-Dispensing of Controlled Dangerous substances: Section 5: When a controlled
medication is administered, in addition to following proper procedure for the charting of medications, the
nurse must document on the declining inventory sheet the date of administration, the
