R22's Registered Pharmacist Consultant Report dated 1/25/24 documents, This resident currently has an order for the Antipsychotic Seroquel 25 mg every night at bedtime. This resident does not have an approved diagnosis to support Antipsychotic use in the elderly with Dementia due to a black box warning of increased risk of mortality. CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) approves Antipsychotic use with the following diagnoses: Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Huntington's Disease, and Tourette's Syndrome. Please provide an approved diagnosis or justification for use below. The physician response section was blank. R22's EMR did not include any documented evidence of a physician progress note nor any physician response to this Pharmacist recommendation. R22's Medical Diagnoses List dated 12/13/24 nor Physician Order Sheet dated 12/12/24 documented an approved diagnosis for R22's Seroquel, listed as prescribed for Anxiety, Irritability and Anger. On 12/12/24 at 10:35 AM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated the consultant pharmacy review process is supposed to be that the Pharmacist does his reviews and makes a report, then he sends the report to the facility and to the doctor, then the doctor will address the recommendations when she is here. V2 and V3, [NAME] President of Clinical Operations, both stated R22's doctor is here every week. 145416 Page 13 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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** 4. The Physician's Order Sheet dated December 2024 documents (R26) takes the following medication for the diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder. Quetiapine Sulfate (Seroquel) tablets 25 mg (milligram) 1 tablet orally every day. Start date for this medication was 7/1/24. 12/11/24 (R26) chart did not have any AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) assessment to review. When V2 was asked about (R26's) AIM's assessment at 11:20 AM, V2 stated I have to look and see if I can find it in the chart. V2 brought (R26's) AIM's assessment at 1:00 PM after it was completed. The assessment was dated 12/11/24 at 12:53 PM. V2 stated This is the only one I have. 5. R12's Medical Diagnoses List dated December 2012 documents R12 is diagnosed with Dementia with Behavioral Disturbance, Major Depression, and Anxiety.

R12 is also prescribed Sertraline (antidepressant) 50 milligrams daily related to major depressive disorder. On 12/12/24 at 12:20 PM V3 [NAME] President of Clinical Operations confirmed R12 has not had any AIMS assessments completed prior to 12/11/24 and no psychotropic medication assessments completed at all. V2 also confirmed there was no documentation of any attempted Gradual Dose Reductions in the last year. The facility's Psychotropic Medication Use policy dated December 2016 documents Psychotropic Medications will be prescribed at the lowest possible dosage for the shortest period of time and are subject to gradual dose reduction and review. The need to continue PRN (as needed) orders for psychotropic medications beyond 14 days requires the practitioner document the rationale for the extended order. The duration of the PRN order will be indicated in the order. The facility's Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale policy dated 9/1/24 documents the AIMS assessment should be performed before starting Neuroleptic drug therapy and then repeated every six months. All information should be documented in the resident's medical record. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to conduct psychotropic medication assessments, failed to maintain accurate documentation in psychotropic medication assessments, failed to conduct abnormal involuntary movement assessments for Antipsychotic medications, failed to obtain a time period duration for PRN (as needed) psychotropic medications, and failed to attempt gradual dose reductions for residents receiving anti-psychotic medications. These failures affect five residents (R12, R16, R22, R26, and R29) out of six reviewed for unnecessary medications on the sample list of 26. Findings Include: 1. R16's Medical Diagnoses list dated 12/13/24 documents R16 experiences medical conditions including Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia. R16's current Physician Order Sheet dated 12/13/24 documents 145416 Page 14 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R16 has physician orders for psychotropic medications including Sertraline (antidepressant) 25 milligrams (mg) daily, and Olanzapine (Antipsychotic) 2.5 mg daily. This same Physician Order Sheet documents R16 experiences additional medical conditions including Hallucinations and Paranoia, and Depression. R16's historical physician order sheets dating back to May of 2023 indicate R16 had been receiving these antidepressant and Antipsychotic medications routinely since that time. Residents Affected - Some On 12/10/24 at 11:05 AM, V17, Certified Nursing Assistant, stated R16 is a risk for elopement and experiences hallucinations and paranoia. R16's Social Service quarterly assessment dated [DATE] documents R16 as taking one psychoactive medication listed as Memantine (N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor agonist, not psychoactive) for Dementia. The Olanzapine and Sertraline are not listed. R16's four most recent Minimum Data Sets (MDS's) dated 11/22/24, 8/23/24, 5/24/24, and 2/29/24 each document R16 had not had any attempted gradual dose reductions for the Antipsychotic medication Olanzapine, nor were there any documented physician notes to indicate R16 would be clinically contraindicated to attempt a decreased dosage. R16's Assessments area of the electronic medical record (EMR) did not include any required quarterly psychotropic medication assessments. As of 12/11/24 at 11:20 AM, R16's EMR did not include any required abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS) assessments. On 12/12/24 at 10:35 AM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated she would look into the facility's former EMR system to check if any of R16's quarterly psychotropic medication assessments or AIMS assessments were located there. At this same time, V3, [NAME] President of Clinical Operations, stated she would likewise look into the facility's former EMR system for any of R16's assessments. As of 12/13/24 at 2:55 PM, neither V2 nor V3 had provided any historical documentation that these assessments had been completed for R16. 2. R29's current Medical Diagnoses Lists dated 12/11/24 document R29 experiences medical conditions including Major Depression. R29's current Physician Order Sheet dated 12/11/24 documents R29 has physician orders for Bupropion (antidepressant) 300 mg extended release daily. R29's EMR, including the Assessments area, did not include any required quarterly psychotropic medication assessments. On 12/11/24 at 1:40 PM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated the facility practice is to place the psychotropic medication assessments and AIMS in the assessments portion of the EMR. V2 further stated the Psychotropic medications assessments are supposed to be completed quarterly, and the AIMS every 6 months. 3. R22's current Medical Diagnoses list dated 12/13/24 documents R22 experiences medical conditions including Dementia, and Irritability and Anger. R22's current Physician Order Sheet dated 12/12/24 documents R22 receives psychotropic medications including Quetiapine (Seroquel, Antipsychotic) 25 mg every 24 hours PRN (as needed) for Anxiety, and Lorazepam (Antianxiety) 0.5 mg every 8 hours PRN for Pain related to Irritability and Anger, give prior to showers and (urinary) catheter changes. R22's historical Physician Order Sheet documents R22 had been prescribed the Antipsychotic medication Quetiapine on a daily basis through December 4, 2024 when the Olanzapine was changed to PRN. The Quetiapine ordered on a PRN basis did not include any stop date nor duration of time for the order. 145416 Page 15 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some The Physician's Desk Reference 2024 documents Quetiapine is indicated for treatment of Major Depression (in conjunction with other antidepressant medications) and Bipolar Mania-Depressant Disorder. This same Physician's Desk Reference documents Lorazepam is indicated for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder. On 12/13/24 at 2:55 PM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated the facility nursing staff has had some discussions about making sure there are stop dates and durations for the PRN (as needed) psychotropic medications. V2 stated there are only two full time nurses at the facility so V2 spends a lot of her time working in the direct care aspect in the facility and that makes it difficult to keep up with paperwork. V2 acknowledged the requirement for PRN psychotropic medications to be limited to 14 days or there needs to be a physician evaluation and justification documented to continue use. 145416 Page 16 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0801 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the services of a qualified director of food and nutrition services. This failure affects all 42 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings Include: On 12/10/24 at 9:55 AM, V5, Dietary Manager, was actively supervising and directing the food preparation and wares sanitation processes in the facility kitchen. At 11:50 AM and 12:08 PM, V5 was actively supervising and directing the meal service for lunch. On 12/10/24 at 9:55 AM, V5 stated she was the Dietary Manager. V5 further stated she had a (national company) cooking sanitation certificate. V5 continued to state she did not have a Certified Dietary Manager certificate (CDM, 6 to 9 month clinical nutrition curriculum), nor a Certified Food Protection Professional certificate (CFPP, CDM equivalent). V5 stated the facility utilized the services of a Registered Dietician one day per month on a consultant basis. V5 concluded by stating she did not meet the state requirements for a Director of Food Services nor meet the definition of a Dietetic Service Supervisor by stating she was not a graduate of a national dietetic school program, had no experience in education or employment prior to 1990, and had no qualifying military experience. On 12/10/24 at 10:10 AM, V6, Regional Dietary Representative, stated she, like V5, did not have a Certified Dietary Manager nor a Certified Food Protection Professional certificate. V6 stated she was currently enrolled in the Certified Dietary Manager course and that the ownership company would enroll V5 in the same course after approximately 30 days of V5's employment. V5 confirmed she would be enrolled in the course. On 12/10/24 at 10:10 AM, V5's certificate was on the wall in V5's office and documented V5 held a valid Certified Food Protection Manager certificate (one day training certificate for cooking sanitation). There was palatability, sanitation, lack of alternative menu items, lack of bedtime snacks, and potential contamination issues identified in the facility kitchen and meal services (reference F565 and F812). On 12/10/24 at 10:40 AM, V1, Administrator, stated, the facility used to employ a Certified Dietary Manager, but she was off work on a family medical leave of absence and is not going to return to work, so the facility hired V5 and would work on getting V5 trained and qualified. The facility's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid dated 12/10/24 documents 42 residents reside in the facility. 145416 Page 17 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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 maintain kitchen utensils to prevent potential contamination of food, and failed to prevent food contamination by storing utensils in bulk food containers. These failures have the potential to affect all 42 residents residing in the facility. Findings Include: On 12/10/24 at 10:15 AM, there was a metal, long handle measuring scoop located inside the bulk sugar bin. The handle of the scoop was in direct contact with, and partially buried by, the sugar. On 12/10/24 at 10:15 AM, V5, Dietary Manager, and V6, Regional Dietary Representative, both stated the scoop should not be left in the sugar. On 12/10/24 at 10:20 AM, there was a silicone blade spatula in a kitchen utensil drawer with a broken corner approximately three-quarters of an inch diagonal, exposing the granulated and rough internal material of the spatula. This granulated surface potentially would crumble off and contaminate food during preparation, and was not easily cleanable. On 12/10/24 at 10:20 AM, V5 removed the spatula from the drawer to indicate she would throw it away. The facility's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid dated 12/10/24 documents 42 residents reside in the facility. 145416 Page 18 of 20 145416 12/13/2024 Heartland Nursing & Rehab 410 Northwest Third Casey, IL 62420
F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop an infection prevention and control program that includes an antibiotic stewardship program and failed to review this policy annually. This failure has the potential to affect all 42 residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings Include: On 12/11/24 at 10:40 AM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) stated V2 has not completed an Antibiotic Stewardship Program for the facility.
