Based upon interview and record review the facility failed to follow policy procedures, failed to implement
care plan interventions, and failed to notify the physician and responsible party regarding critical blood
glucose levels for two of four residents (R1, R2) reviewed for change in condition.Findings include:On
8/21/25, IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received allegations that facility staff refused to contact
a doctor when resident blood sugars were elevated.R1's diagnoses include type II diabetes mellitus. V3
(Family) is listed as the emergency contact on R1's face sheet.R1's (6/5/24) care plan interventions state
report abnormal blood sugars to Medical Doctor. R1's (June 2024) MAR (Medication Administration
Record) affirms blood glucose levels were (critical) high on the following dates: 6/1: 413. 6/7: 432. 6/15: 500.
6/18: 419. 6/20: 469. 6/23: 450. 6/24: 430. 6/27: 419. R1's (June 2024) Nurses Notes exclude (critical) high
blood glucose levels and physician/responsible party notification of resident change in condition. On 9/4/25
at 2:20pm, surveyor inquired if there was any documentation in R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Records)
regarding notification for R1's (6/15/24) critical blood glucose level of 500 - per MAR V2 (DON/Director of
Nursing) reviewed R1's EMR and stated No, there's no documentation that she (Nurse) called the
Physician or Nurse Practitioner for the 15th. Surveyor inquired if there was any documentation that R1's
Physician and/or Family were notified for any of R1's (June 2024) critical blood glucose levels V2 reviewed
the EMR to no avail and affirmed that notification was not documented. __R2's diagnoses include diabetes
mellitus with hyperglycemia.V9 (Family) is listed as the emergency contact on R2's face sheet.R2's
(11/7/18) care plan interventions state monitor for signs/symptoms of hyperglycemia, report to Nurse and
Physician as needed. R2's (9/2/25) MAR affirms blood glucose level was 486 (at 5:00pm) and 9 (see nurse
note) was documented. R2's blood glucose level was 400 (at 9:00pm) and 9 was documented. R2's (9/2/25)
Medication Administration Note states (10:33pm), medicated with 25units Lispro insulin for blood sugar of
486 per Nurse Practitioner (V7). (10:40pm), Medicated with 10 units Lispro insulin per Nurse Practitioner
(V7). [Family notification was excluded]. On 9/4/25 at 3:23pm, surveyor inquired if V7 (Nurse Practitioner) or
Physician were notified (on 9/2/25) of R2's critical blood glucose levels at 5pm and 9pm V5 (Registered
Nurse) stated I called her (V7) twice (at 5pm and a half hour later) and during the 9pm, I didn't call her then
affirmed that the (9/2/25) Medication Administration Notes were referring to (5pm) insulin administrations however entered later in the shift. The (6/9/25) facility guidelines for notification of change in resident's
condition/status/treatment states notification is provided to the physician to facilitate continuity of care and
to obtain input from the physician about appropriate interventions/changes which can include additions to,
or discontinuation of, current care/treatments - related to the notification. Notification is provided to the
resident's responsible party/POA (Power of Attorney). Requirements for notification of resident, their

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based upon
interview and record review the facility failed to follow policy procedures, failed to implement care plan
interventions, failed to obtain physician orders for blood glucose monitoring/sliding scale insulin, failed to
receive blood glucose parameters for physician notification, failed to follow physician orders, failed to
ensure that medication was administered/documented within regulatory requirements, and/or failed to
ensure that (critical) blood glucose levels were addressed by a physician/nurse practitioner for two of four
residents reviewed for change in condition. These failures resulted in R1 sustaining critical blood glucose
levels ranging from 413-500 (without intervention) for a total of 8 days within 1 month. These failures also
resulted in R2 sustaining a critical blood glucose level of 400 (without prescribed sliding scale insulin) for 11
hours.Findings include:On 8/21/25, IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) received neglect allegations
due to facility staff refusing to contact a doctor when resident blood sugars were elevated.R1 was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which include but not limited to morbid obesity due to excess
calories and type II diabetes mellitus. R1 was discharged on 7/2/24 (prior to this survey).R1's (6/5/24) care
plan includes potential for complications of metabolic functioning as evidenced by hyper/hypoglycemia,
interventions: monitor blood sugars as ordered and cover as ordered per sliding scale. Report abnormal
blood sugars to Medical Doctor. R1's (6/1/24) POS (Physician Order Sheets) include check blood glucose
before each meal and at bedtime [parameters for physician notification are excluded]. Glargine (insulin)
inject 85 units every morning and at bedtime. Humalog (Insulin) inject 50 units before meals. [Sliding scale
insulin is excluded].On 9/3/25 at 1:19pm, surveyor inquired if any residents were recently sent out to the
hospital due to blood sugar concerns V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) stated We haven't had anybody go out
for hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia recently, not that I'm aware of. Surveyor inquired if any residents or
family members recently reported concerns regarding blood sugars V2 responded No. Surveyor inquired
when R1 was discharged from the facility V2 replied He (R1) has been gone a while, he discharged I
wanna say back in 2024. He (R1) was short term stay; I (V2) don't believe he was sent out for blood sugar. I
(V2) do remember him (R1) having issues with his blood sugar because the wife (V3) was bringing in all the
wrong foods. She (V3/Wife) brought him (R1) whatever he wanted, and we (staff) had to have a meeting
with her (V3) about it. She was educated on his diet. We (staff) also found out that she (V3) was giving
insulin to him when she was here, and we have that care planned. R1's progress notes state (6/2/24)
9:22am, upon entering resident room, writer noted resident wife with a filled syringe in her hand about to
administer it to resident but stopped when I entered the room. Writer made appropriate parties aware [R1's
6/2/24 blood glucose was 330 at 7:30am and 339 at 11am per MAR/Medication Administration Record].
(6/5/24) 3:47pm, Staff reports resident's wife was observed with a vial of insulin to administer to the
resident [R1's 6/5/24 blood glucose was 202 at 4pm per MAR]. R1's (June 2024) MAR also affirms that
blood glucose levels were (critical) high on the following dates: 6/1: 413. 6/7: 432. 6/15: 500. 6/18: 419. 6/20:
469. 6/23: 450. 6/24: 430. 6/27: 419 however R1's (June 2024) Nurses Notes exclude critical high blood
glucose levels and physician notification of resident change in condition. On 9/4/25 at 1:01pm, surveyor
inquired about resident blood glucose monitoring V6 (Medical Director) stated, If someone's uncontrolled
we (staff) would probably be checking that with meals. Surveyor inquired what parameters should be
inclusive for hyperglycemia V6 responded We have about 3 different options; it would be 350 or 400.
Surveyor inquired about staff requirements if a resident's blood glucose is 400 or above V6 replied It should
be whatever the order is [R1's Physician orders exclude sliding scale

insulin] and affirmed the physician should be contacted. Surveyor inquired about potential harm to a
resident with a blood glucose level that's 400 or above V6 stated Medical comorbid conditions associated
with hyperglycemia which could be infection, DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis), or hyperosmolarity.On 9/4/25 at
2:20pm, surveyor inquired if there was any documentation in R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Records)
regarding notification for R1's (6/15/24) critical blood glucose level of 500 - per MAR V2 (DON/Director of
Nursing) reviewed R1's EMR and stated No, there's no documentation that she (Nurse) called the
Physician or Nurse Practitioner for the 15th. Surveyor inquired if there was any documentation that R1's
Physician was notified for any of R1's (June 2024) critical blood glucose levels V2 reviewed the EMR to no
avail and responded They (staff) were giving the insulin that was ordered but nobody thought about a
sliding scale. He (R1) had no sliding scale the entire time he was here, everybody missed it [R1 resided at
the facility for over 1 month]. __R2's diagnoses include diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia however the
(9/3/25) facility glucose monitoring log - excludes R2's name. R2's POS includes (8/27/25) Lispro (Insulin)
25 units before meals. Glargine (Insulin) 50 units two times daily. (8/29/25) Lispro inject per sliding scale
150-199 = 2 units, 200-249 = 4 units, 250-299 = 6 units 300-349 =8 units, 350-399 = 10 units at bedtime.
[Blood Glucose Monitoring is excluded].R2's (11/7/18) care plan states resident has hyperglycemia related
to disease process, interventions: monitor for signs/symptoms of hyperglycemia, report to Nurse and
Physician as needed. R2's (7/31/25) BIMS (Brief Interview Mental Status) determined a score of 10
(moderate impairment).On 9/3/25 at 4:09pm, surveyor inquired if R2 has any facility concerns that she
would like to discuss R2 responded No, I've always been with the Santa Clause therefore not appropriate
for interview. R2's (9/2/25) MAR affirms the following: blood glucose level was 486 (at 5:00pm) and 9 (see
nurse note) was documented. R2's blood glucose level was 400 (at 9:00pm) and 9 was documented. [R2's
blood sugar was not rechecked until 8am the following day - 11 hours later]. On 9/4/25 at 9:19am, surveyor
inquired what 9 indicates on the MAR V2 (DON) stated If they (staff) didn't give it for whatever reason they'll
put in a 9 and put in a nurses note. Surveyor presented R2's (September 2025) MAR and inquired if R2
received insulin on 9/2 when the blood glucose was 400 and above V2 responded Let me (V2) see, I'll have
to see if the Nurses made any note and did anything with that. The sliding scale only goes up to 399 so she
(V5/Registered Nurse) should have called the doctor. They (staff) should know you follow the sliding scale,
if the blood sugar is higher than what it is, you reach out to the physician and find out if they (Physician)
want to give insulin. R2's (9/2/25) Medication Administration Note states (10:33pm) medicated with 25 units
Lispro insulin for blood sugar of 486 per Nurse Practitioner (V7). (10:40pm) Medicated with 10 units Lispro
insulin per (V7) however R2 was prescribed sliding scale insulin at 5pm and 9pm - therefore not
administered within regulatory requirements (1 hour before or after the scheduled time). On 9/4/25 at
2:16pm, surveyor inquired why V5 (Registered Nurse) documented on 9/2/25 that R2 received Lispro (25
units) at 10:33pm and Lispro (10 units) at 10:40pm (7 minutes later) per electronic Medication
Administration Note V2 (DON) responded She (V5) should have put it was given at 5pm or whenever it was
given. On 9/4/25 at 3:23pm, surveyor inquired if the Physician was notified of R2's critical blood glucose
levels on 9/2/25 V5 (Registered Nurse) stated The Nurse Practitioner (V7) gave the orders to the ADON
(Assistant Director of Nursing/V8) she (V7) said to give the 25 units when she (R2) was 486 and then I (V5)
gave the 25 units. She (V7) said recheck in 30 minutes, call her (V7) back and it was 400. She (V7) said
follow the sliding scale and affirmed that R2 received Lispro 10 units at that time [R2's sliding scale only
covers a blood glucose level up to 399 - therefore the sliding scale was not followed]. Surveyor inquired
what time R2 received the 25 units and 10 units of Lispro on 9/2/25 V5 responded It was about 5pm but I
didn't

sit down to chart it then. Surveyor inquired if insulin was administered to R2 on 9/2/25 (at 9pm) as
prescribed V5 replied She (R2) gets Lantus at night, so I gave her the Lantus [Sliding scale Lispro scheduled for 9pm administration was excluded]. Surveyor inquired if V7 was notified of R2's (9/2/25)
critical blood glucose level (at 9pm) V5 replied I called her (V7) twice (at 5pm and a half hour later) and
during the 9pm, I didn't call her because she (R2) was within the limits to give her a sliding scale. At 9pm, I
covered her with the sliding scale because she was under 400. For the 9pm, I just give her the insulin I
didn't make a note [R2's blood sugar at 9pm was 400 - therefore not within sliding scale parameters and 9
was documented on the MAR which affirms Lispro was NOT administered as ordered]. Surveyor inquired
(again) which insulin was administered to R2 on 9/2/25 at 9pm (due to inconsistent statements) V5
responded I gave her Lantus. The (undated) blood glucose monitoring policy states blood sugars found to
be below 70 or above 400 will be reported immediately to the physician and the resident's representative.
Any orders received from the physician will be implemented. Notify physician if blood glucose is outside
resident's parameters for blood glucose as ordered by their physician. Nursing interventions for treatment of
hyperglycemia: follow the sliding scale parameters for fast acting insulin and any additional orders received
from the physician. Immediately notify the physician and the resident's representative any time the
resident's blood sugar is outside the ordered parameter range as well as any interventions taken to address
a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event. Complete all appropriate documentation.
