Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a physician order for a
resident to receive and self-administer a home medication.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 24 residents (R106) reviewed for self-administration of medication in the sample of 24.
The findings include:
On 11/13/23 at 12:10 PM, R106 was in her bedroom eating lunch. Beside her lunch tray, there was a bottle
of Glucocil tablets. R106 stated it is home medication for her diabetes. R106 said she takes 2 tablets in the
morning and 2 tablets at night.
On 11/15/23 at 10:25 AM, R106's Glucocil tablet remained at bedside table. R106 repeatedly stated it was
her home medication, and she needed it for diabetes.
On 11/15/23 at 12:36 PM, V4 (Director of Clinical Services) stated that medications, vitamins, prescribed
and over the counter, are not to be kept at bedside, unless there's a physician's order, a lock box, and
assessment.
There was no Glucocil order in R106's physician order sheet (POS), and there was no documented
assessment that R106 may self-administer a medication or supplement.
Facility's Policy and Procedure for Self-Administration dated February 2021 shows:
Policy Statement: Residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team has
determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so.
Policy Interpretation and Implementation:
3. If it is deemed safe and appropriate for a resident to self-administer medications, this is documented in
the medical record and the care plan. The decision that a resident can safely self-administer medications is
re-assessed periodically based on changes in the resident's medical and/or decision-making status.
8. Self-administered medications are stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by other
residents. If safe storage is not possible in the resident's room, the medications of residents permitted to
self-administer are stored on a central medication cart in the medication room. A license nurse transfers the
unopened medication to the resident when the resident requests them.
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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the
date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date
these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R109) reviewed for advanced directives in the sample of 24.
The findings include:
R109's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R109 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple
diagnoses including urinary tract infection, sepsis, respiratory failure, and heart failure.
R109's Illinois Department of Public Heath Uniform POLST (Practitioner Order For Life-Sustaining
Treatment) Form showed No CPR: Do Not Attempt Resuscitation was selected. The POLST form was

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy to remove a staff
member from duty after a resident voiced an allegation of verbal abuse.
This applies to1 resident (R92) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 24.
The findings include:
Review of R92's face sheet documents a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that include Malignant Neoplasm of Brain, Muscle weakness, Epilepsy, Anxiety Disorder, and
Fracture of the Shaft of the Right Tibia and Fibula.
R92's Minimum Data Set (MDS) section C, dated 9/30/23, shows she is cognitively intact.
On 11/13/23at 1:32 PM, R92 stated V23 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) yells at her all the time when
V23 disagrees with her. R92 stated when V23 yells at her, it makes her feel horrible and disrespected. R92
stated the last time V23 yelled at her was last week. R92 stated V23 yells at her in front of other staff also.
V1 (Administrator) was notified of the allegation on 11/13/23 at 1:51PM.
On 11/13/23 at 4:31 PM, V23 was observed working on the same floor that R92 resides on. V24
(LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated V23 was working a double shift. V24 provided a copy of the
assignment sheet at that time, and circled the staff that was working the second floor, and wrote at the
bottom in her own hand. V24 stated each floor has the same copy of the assignments. Review of the
assignment sheets confirmed V23 was scheduled to work the second shift, and the same assignment that
includes R92's room.
On 11/16/23 at 9:20 AM, review of V23's timecard shows on 11/13/23, V23 clocked in at 6:24 AM, and
clocked out at 10:30 PM.
On 11/14/23 at 8:55 AM, V3 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) stated after she learned of the
allegation, she went to R92's room on 11/13/23, and told R92 that V23 was no longer going to be taking
care of her. V3 stated she did not ask R92 any questions about the alleged verbal abuse.
On 11/14/23, at 9:17 AM, V4 (Abuse Coordinator) stated she went to R92's room at about 4:00 PM on
11/13/23, and asked R92 generally how her care was. V4 stated she did not ask any specific questions
about the alleged verbal abuse, nor did mention V23's name in the conversation. V4 stated the facility's
normal procedure for allegations of abuse is to take the alleged perpetrator off the schedule and put them
on leave, for the safety of all the residents. V4 confirmed V23 was not removed from the facility during the
abuse investigation, and the facility's policy was not followed. V4 stated she was just trying to get the
investigation done. V23 stated she finished her investigation at 8:00 PM on 11/13/23.
