This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0554 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 complete assessments for medication self-administration and failed to obtain orders to keep medications at the bedside. This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R8, R57) reviewed for medications in sample of 18. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: 1. On 10/31/23 at 10:58 AM, during initial tour, surveyor went to R57's room. R57 and R60 are husband and wife and share a room together. Neither R57 nor R60 were in their room; per staff, they were in the hospital. There was a container of Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% ointment on R57's bedside table. On the label of the container of the Triamcinolone Acetonide, it showed it belonged to another resident (R68), who was in a different room. On 11/1/23 at 1:20 PM, surveyor went with V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) to R57's room. R57 had still not come back from the hospital. The container of the Triamcinolone Acetonide that belonged to R68 was inside his drawer. R60, (R57's wife) stated I just came back from the hospital. (R57) is my husband and he's still in the hospital. This ointment has always been here. I didn't know it belonged to another resident. R57 was putting it on himself for itching because he has a rash on his chest. Surveyor then went with V2 to the wound cart and could not find R57's Triamcinolone Acetonide cream. On 11/1/23 at 1:27 PM, V2 stated R68's medicated cream should not be in R57's room. The nurse should not be using another resident's cream on R57. There should be orders for all medication and an order to be at the bedside. There should be a self-administration of medication assessment for the resident as well. On 11/2/23 at 9:43 AM, surveyor went with V3 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) to the wound cart on the unit. V3 found R57's Triamcinolone Acetonide in the treatment cart. The medicated ointment was not in a container, but rather in a tube with barely anything in it. V3 stated, It's running out. The nurse shouldn't have used another resident's Triamcinolone for R57. The nurse also should not have left it in the resident's room. It should have been stored in the medication cart. The nurse should have also ordered a new medication It wasn't me who was giving it to him when he was here. I'm only working on this unit today. This is not my regular unit. R57's face sheet documents an admission date of 7/13/23. R57's POS (Physician Order Sheet) documents the following order that started on 10/2/23: Triamcinolone Acetonide External Lotion 0.1%--Apply to both arms, chest/abdomen, and upper/lower back topically two times a day for skin condition. R57's (Nurse Practitioner) dated 8/9/23 documents: (R57) seen today for evaluation of rash. Nurse reported patient states he has a rash that started today. (R57) states when he woke up this am, his arms and trunk were itching and about lunch time, he noted a red rash.

F 0554 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few arms, and trunk/chest area, with excoriation due to scratching. Assessment/Plan: Rash-Benadryl for itching today. Triamcinolone cream ordered for affected areas. R57's MAR (Medication Administration Record) from August 2023 to present show that R57 was receiving the Triamcinolone Acetonide ointment. R57's medical record did not have an assessment for self-administration of medications. 2. On 10/31/23 at 11:15 AM, R8 was sitting in her wheelchair in her room. On top of her bedside table, there was one 24-hour Nasal Spray. R8 stated she bought this from the store and uses it occasionally. R8 stated no one told her how to use it, but she knows how to use it. R8 stated it is always in her room. R8's POS for October 2023 does not have an order for the nasal spray. R8's POS had an order for Flonase Allergy Relief suspension 50 MCG (Micrograms)/ACT (Fluticasone Propionate)-1 spray in both nostrils one time a day for allergies, which is a different medication for the nasal spray that was found in R8's room. R8's medical record also did not contain an assessment for self-administration of medication, nor did she have a care plan regarding this. Facility's policy titled Self-Administration of Medications (2016) documents: 1. As part of their overall evaluation, the staff and practitioner will assess each resident's mental and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering medications is clinically appropriate for the resident. 2. In addition to general evaluation of decision-making capacity, the staff and practitioner will perform a more specific skill assessment. 6. For self-administering residents, the nursing staff will determine who will be responsible (the resident or the nursing staff) for documenting that medications were taken. 8. Self-administered medications must be stored in a safe and secure place. Facility's policy titled Storage of Medications (2022) shows: 8. Drugs shall be stored in an orderly manner in cabinets, drawers, carts, or automatic dispensing systems. Each resident's medications shall be assigned to an individual cubicle, drawer, or other holding area to prevent the possibility of mixing medications of several residents. Facility's policy titled Administering Topical Medications (2010) documents: Step in the Procedure: 6. Check the label on the medication and confirm the medication name and dose with the MAR.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. 2. On 11/1/23 at 10:56 AM, R23 was lying in bed. R23's left hand was observed to be severely contracted. R23 did not have her carrot splint inside her left hand. Surveyor asked R23 where her splint was. R23 pointed to the dresser. The carrot splint was next to her television (TV). R23 stated, They (CNAs) changed me a few minutes ago. They put my carrot by the TV. I need it. I have to tell them to put it back in my hand. Sometimes, they forget to put it in my hand, and I have to remind them. On 11/1/23 at 2:49 PM (almost four hours later), R23 was lying in bed and on the phone. Surveyor asked R23 if she received her splint yet. R23 stated, No, I still don't have it in my hand. The splint was still on top of the dresser. The next day on 11/2/23 at 9:50 AM, R23 was in bed and watching TV. R23 did not have her carrot in her hand. Surveyor asked R23 where her splint was. R23 stated that it was in her purse. R23 took the splint out of her purse and tried to put it in her left hand. R23 was unable to put inside because her left hand was severely contracted. R23 stated, I need someone to help me put it in my hand. I can't do it by myself. They never came by to put it my hand today. R23 pushed her call light. V6 (Restorative Aide) came inside to R23's room. V6 attempted to open R23's hand and put the splint in. When she finally put the splint in, R23 stated it was hurting her. Then, V6 removed the splint. On 11/2/23 at 9:57 AM, V6 stated, Yes, R23's carrot should be inside her left hand because her hand is contracted. It's one of the restorative interventions. It should be in her hand except during meals or as tolerated. R23's face sheet documents an admission date of 2/20/2014. R23's face sheet shows the following diagnoses: morbid (severe) obesity due to excess calories, muscle weakness (generalized), lack of coordination, fatigue, contracture of left hand, functional quadriplegia, and personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits. R23's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows an order that R23 is to wear a splint to her left upper extremity up to 4 hours as tolerated. Remove if there are signs of redness or break down. R23's care plan (12/31/20) shows the following: Focus-(R23) has an ADL (Activities of Daily Living) self-care, performance deficit related to quadriplegia. Restorative splinting program carrot to left hand on in am, off at bedtime, 6-7 times a week. Goal-(R2) will maintain or improve current level of function through the review date. Interventions-(R23) has contractures of the (left hand). Staff will provide skin and nail care to keep clean and prevent skin breakdown. (R23) uses a carrot. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to apply assistive devices to prevent contractures. This apples to 2 of 2 residents (R23, R34) reviewed for assistive devices in a sample of 18. The findings include: 1. R34's face sheet showed R34 had diagnoses including cerebral infarction, hemiplegia affecting left non-dominant side, abnormalities of gait and mobility, lack of coordination, congestive heart failure, and muscle weakness. R34's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 8/29/23 showed R34 was cognitively intact and required supervision for eating, substantial assistance for oral hygiene and upper body dressing, and was dependent on staff for toileting, showering/bathing, lower body dressing, and applying (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145536 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 6 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145536 B.
