Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview the facility failed to have documented behaviors to warrant the use of antipsychotic and other psychotropic medications and the facility failed to attempt nonpharmacological interventions prior to using antipsychotic and other psychotropic medications for three residents (R1, R3 and R5) of three residents whose psychotropic medications were reviewed in a total sample of five. The Facility's undated Use of Psychotropic Medication(s) documents It is the intent of this policy to ensure that residents only receive psychotropic medication when other nonpharmacological interventions are clinically contraindicated. Additionally, these medications should only be used to treat the resident's medical symptoms and not used for discipline or staff convenience, which would deem it a chemical restraint. The policy defines Adequate indications for use as refers to the identified, documented clinical rational for administering a medication that is based upon an assessment of the resident's condition and therapeutic goals and after any other treatments have been deemed clinically contraindicated. For psychotropic medications, without documentation in the record explaining that the practitioner has determined that other treatments have been deemed clinically contraindicated, the indication for use is inadequate. Also, adequate indications for use means that the medication administered is consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations and/or clinical practice guidelines, clinical standards of practice, medication references, clinical studies or evidence-based review of articles that are published in medical and/or pharmacy journals. The Facility's undated Restraint free environment policy documents it is the policy of this facility that each resident shall attain and maintain his/her highest practicable well-being in an environment that prohibits the use of physical or chemical restraints for discipline or convenience and limits restraint use to circumstances in which the resident has medical symptoms that warrant the use of such restraints. The policy defines chemical restraint as refers to any drug used for discipline or that makes it more convenient for staff to care for a resident, and not required to treat medical symptoms This include instances when a psychotropic medication may be approved to treat certain symptoms, however, nonpharmacological interventions should be used or attempted, unless clinically contraindicated, because they are less dangerous to a resident's health and safety. The Facility's undated Restraint free environment policy documents Behavioral interventions should be used and exhausted prior to the application of a physical restraint or administration of mediations that could be perceived as a chemical restraint, A physician's order alone is not sufficient to warrant the use of a physical restraint or a medication that could be construed as a chemical restraint. If a medication was initially administered for a medical symptom and continues to be administered in the absence of such symptoms, the facility should re-evaluate the need for such medication to ensure that it does not sedate the resident or make it easier for the staff to care for the resident, causing it to be deemed a chemical restraint. 1.R1's Medical Record documents he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis to include but not limited to Unspecified Dementia, severe, without behavioral disturbances, Anxiety, Insomnia and repeated falls. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 6/3/25 documents a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 3 out of possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of abuse for one resident (R1) of five residents reviewed for abuse in a total sample of five. The Facility's undated Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation policy documents It is the policy of this facility to provide protections for the health, welfare and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident property. Sexual Abuse is non-consensual sexual contact of any type with a resident. Investigation of Alleged Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation: A. An immediate investigation is warranted when suspicion of abuse, neglect or exploitation, or reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation occur. B. Written procedures for investigations include: 1. Identifying staff responsible for the investigation: 2. Exercising caution in handling evidence that could be used in a criminal investigation (e.g. not tampering or destroying evidence); 3. Investigating different types of alleged violations; 4. Identifying and interviewing all involved persons, including the alleged victim, alleged perpetrator, witnesses and others who might have knowledge of the allegations; 5. Focusing the investigation on determining if abuse, neglect, exploitation, and/or mistreatment has occurred, the extent, and cause; and 6. Providing complete and thorough documentation of the investigation. The Facility's Final Report dated 4/22/25 documents an allegation of verbal abuse of R1 by V7 (Certified Nurse Aide). The allegation documents that V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse) reported that she witnessed an interaction between V7 and R1 that she did not like. V8 reports that V7 (CNA) was clearing the table after a meal and R1 attempted to remove a tray from V7's hands and that V7 and R1 pulled the tray back and forth and that V7 proceeded to yell at resident to get out of the dining room several times while pointing her finger at the door. V7's written statement acknowledges the interaction but states that R1 wanted the half drank milk carton off the the tray the CNA was trying to dispose of. V7's written statement denies V7 yelling at or speaking to R1 inappropriately at all. The investigation did not contain any interviews with other staff members or residents who had worked with V7 previously. On 7/18/25 at 1:30 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated she did the interviews for this investigations. I am sure I would have interviewed other people too, V2 could not provide any documentation of any interviews other than the nurse who reported the alleged verbal abuse and the CNA who denied the verbal abuse occurred. On 7/20/25 at 10:00 AM V13 (Chief Nursing Officer) confirmed no further interviews of other staff and residents were available. V13 stated those should have been done and available in the investigation for review.
