Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident had access to a
call light for one resident (R36) out of 17 residents reviewed for call lights in a sample of 25.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's Call Light policy dated 8/1/05, document Procedure: 7. Make certain call light is within
resident's reach before leaving the room.
On 11/29/22 at 10:45 AM, R36 observed lying in bed with no call light in reach. R36 stated, I don't know
where my call light is. I had it before I took my shower, but I haven't seen it since I got back a few minutes
ago.
On 11/29/22 at 10:49 AM, V10, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) observed going into R36's room and
searching for R36's call light. V10, LPN, found R36's call light behind his bed and stated, Oh, here it is. It
must have fell. As V10, LPN, attempted to put R36's call light on his bed, she was unable to place it on
R36's bed and stated, It won't reach. Why won't it reach? Oh, I see! It's tangled up with the fan cord. That's
why it won't reach. V10, LPN, untangled the call light and placed it back on R36's bed. V10, LPN, stated, He
does need his call light because he knows when he has to use the bathroom and requires assistance.
On 11/30/22 at 12:04 PM V6, Care Plan Coordinator (CPC) stated (R36) is mostly continent of his bladder
and he has the cognition to use his call light to ask for assistance to use the bathroom.

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure staff maintained and protected a
resident's privacy while providing perineal care for one resident (R52) of 17 residents reviewed for privacy
in a sample of 25.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
The Illinois Ombudsman Program Resident Rights, dated 11/2018, documents, Your facility must treat you
with dignity and respect and must care for you in a manner that promotes your quality of life; and Your
medical and personal care are private. Facility staff must respect your privacy when you are being
examined or given care.
The facility's Resident Dignity Policy, Reviewed 9/2011, documents: All residents have the right to have their
privacy maintained irrespective of their functional and cognitive status. Staff will respect this right in the
following ways: 4. Close drapes, privacy curtains and room doors as necessary to maintain privacy.
The facility's Perineal Care Policy and Procedure, Revised 11/2016, documents: Resident privacy will be
maintained while perineal care is being provided.
R52's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], documents R52 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental

residents. Neither V11 nor V12 pulled R52's privacy curtain around her when providing cares to R52.
V12 stated, I forgot; usually do pull the curtains for privacy.
On 12/1/22 at 10:20 am, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) stated, It is expected that when staff are going to

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident's catheter bag and tubing were
not laying on the floor for one resident (R44) out of three residents reviewed for catheters in a sample of 25.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R44's physician order sheet dated 11/1/22 through 11/30/22 documents R44 as having an indwelling
catheter.
On 11/29/22 at 12:27 PM, R44 observed lying in bed with catheter bag and tubing laying on the floor.
On 11/29/22 at 12:29 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The bag and tubing aren't supposed to be
on the floor. I'll have to figure out how to hang it from the bed since (R44) has a low air loss mattress and
low bed. What probably happened is the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) hung the bag on the side of the
bed, but when she lowered the bed, the bag hit the floor and popped off the bed.
On 12/1/22 at 09:24 AM, V2, DON, stated, We don't have a policy telling the staff not to let the tubing or
catheter bag touch the floor. It's just common sense that it's not supposed to.

the oxygen concentrator, hooked it to the portable oxygen tank hanging from R6's wheelchair and turned
the oxygen to 2 L/M. V9, CNA verified she turned the oxygen to 2 L/M and stated Yeah, I just turned it to
two liters because I know that's what she's on.
On 12/1/22 at 09:00 AM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated The CNAs aren't supposed to be
administering oxygen. I did an in-service letting everyone know that only the nurses are supposed to be the
ones administering the oxygen.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's identity was
verified prior to administering medication to one resident (R68) out of one resident reviewed for competent
nursing staff in a sample of 25.
Finding Include:
The facility's pharmacy Medication Pass Tips policy dated 1/2017 documents Prior to preparing medication,
verify the resident's identity. Verify the drug against the eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration
Record).
The facility's resident roster by room dated 11/29/22 documents R36 and R68 are roommates.
R68's medical record documents R68 as cognitively intact.
R68's medical record dated 11/15/22 documents R68 arrived back from the hospital at 9:12 AM.
R68's physician order sheet (POS) dated 11/1/22 through 11/30/22 documents Benefiber Powder (Wheat
Dextrin) Give two tablespoons by mouth three times a day for constipation. Give at 6:00 AM, 10:00 AM and
4:00 PM. Tramadol Tablet 50 milligrams. Give one tablet by mouth three times a day for pain. Give at 8:00
AM, 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM.

On 11/29/22 at 10:39 AM, R68 stated, About two weeks ago I was given the wrong medication. The nurse
gave me my roommate's (R36) medication. She said she thought I was still in the hospital and thought I
was (R36). About two weeks ago I was sent to the hospital but came back the morning of the 15th (11/15). I
was sitting in my room and (R36) was out of the room. The nurse came in and handed me a cup of
medication that I put in my mouth and then handed me a cup that I thought was water. When I took a drink,
I immediately spit everything out and said This isn't water. These aren't my pills. I spit everything all over the
place. The nurse then asked, Aren't you (R36)? I said No, I'm (R68). She said, 'I thought you were in the
hospital.' I told her I had been back from the hospital for about 12 hours. So, she left and came back with a
new set of pills that were mine and I took those. No, the nurse never asked me my name, she just came in
and handed me pills. She kept saying 'The computer says your still in the hospital.' I told her I've been back
for the last 12 hours.
On 11/29/22 at 11:00 AM, V10, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) verified R68 is cognitively intact and stated,
I would say he's definitely able to recall something that happened two weeks ago. He was

very accurate on his timeframe of when he went to the hospital and how long he had been back. He got
back around 9:00 AM on 11/15, so yeah, he'd been back for about 12 hours.
On 11/29/22 at 12:54 PM V7, Registered Nurse (RN) stated, I went into (R68)'s room and gave him his
medication and handed him his water. He put all the medication in his mouth and when he started drinking
the water, he spit everything out and said, 'These aren't my pills!', but I told him they were his. I had to go
re-pull all his medication and give them a second time. What happened was that I didn't mix his Benefiber
up correctly and that's why he spit everything out thinking they weren't his. Yes, I had to throw away all the
pills and pull all his medications a second time.
On 11/29/22 at 1:15 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed R68's narcotic tracking sheet dated
11/15/22 for Tramadol and stated, I see what you're saying. If (V7, RN) had to pull his 8:00 PM medications
twice, then we would see Tramadol signed out twice, but it's not. She only signed it out once at 8:00 PM.
On 11/29/22 at 2:05 PM, R68 stated, The liquid the nurse gave me was not my Benefiber mix. I take that
thing three times a day, so I know what it is. What she gave me was a thick syrupy liquid. I immediately spit
it out because I don't take anything like that. After I spit it out, it was very sticky. I also know it wasn't my
Benefiber drink because I don't get that at bedtime.
On 11/29/22 at 2:05 PM, R36 stated, What (R68) is describing sounds just like what I take at bedtime.
On 11/29/22 at 2:10 PM Director of Nursing (DON), stated, The Benefiber we use comes in a packet that
mixes with water. It's clear and it's not thick or sticky.
On 12/1/22 at 8:54 AM, V8, RN, observed pulling a brown bottle out of the medication cart and identifying it
as R36's Lactulose medication and stating, I'm not sure if you can see, but it's a thick syrupy like liquid. It's
sticky.
12/1/22 09:00 AM V2, DON, verified V7, RN should have verified R68's identity prior to giving him
medication and stated, I don't think we have a medication administration policy or procedure that tells the
nurse to identify the resident prior to administering medication. As nurses, we all know we have to identify
the resident before giving them medication, especially since she (V7, RN) was an agency nurse new to the
building and didn't know the residents.
on 12/1/22 at 11:30 AM, V2, DON, stated, We didn't do a medication error report because (R68) never
actually swallowed the wrong medication. He was able to spit them out. We banned (V7, RN) from returning
to the facility.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure open food products stored in
the facility freezer were labeled and dated. This failure has the potential to transmit food borne illness to all
67 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:
The facility's Food Labeling and Dating policy dated 2/22 documents, The following procedures are to be
used for proper food labeling. 1) Proper food labeling includes: name of product, date stored and in some
cases, the time of the day. 2) The food must be labeled and dated if it is removed from its original container.
3) Leftover foods placed in a container must be cooled down properly, labeled and dated.
On 11/29/22 at 09:22 AM, during a walkthrough of the kitchen freezer, two undated and unlabeled clear
bags of food were observed sitting on the storage racks. Also observed was an open undated bag sitting in
a cardboard box labeled as blueberries. The blueberries were not sealed and open to the freezer.
On 11/29/22 at 09:23 AM, V5, Dietary Manager, stated, The clear bags are French fries and hash browns
(tater tots). They should have a date written on the bag. The blueberries should not be open like this and it's
supposed to also have a date. V5, Dietary Manager observed grabbing the bag of blueberries and closing
the bag to seal the contents.
