Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident was provided with
transportation to get to medical appointments in a timely manner for 1 of 4 residents (R2) reviewed for
Quality of Care in the sample of 10. The findings include: R2's face sheet shows he has diagnoses
including Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). R2's Physician Order Summary report shows an
order was entered on 10/27/25 for R2 to be seen for a GI (Gastroenterologist) consult. On 1/20/26 at 10:41
AM, R2 said he was told that he is supposed to be going out to an appointment to see a GI doctor but has
yet to get to see one. On 1/20/26 at 11:24 PM, V4 (Appointment and Transportation Scheduler) said there
have been some issues with the transportation company the facility uses and getting residents to
appointments on time. V4 said unfortunately there are no back up options that the facility uses to get
residents to their appointments. V4 confirmed that she has been trying to get R2 to an appointment with the
GI doctor and on 12/23/25 the transportation company called and said they were going to be late and the
physician office could not accommodate a late appointment so it was rescheduled to 1/12/25. On 1/12/25
the transportation company went to the wrong facility to pick up R2 so again he missed his appointment. V4
said she has made a new appointment for him today for the GI doctor and they cannot get him in until
3/18/26. On 1/20/26 at 2:38 PM, V5 (Nurse Practitioner) said R2 is going to the GI doctor for previous
abdominal pain and acid reflux. V5 said she was not aware that R2 had missed his GI appointments and
while they are considered non urgent she would still expect the facility to get the resident transported to the
appointment on time. The facility provided Transportation policy dated 9/2020 shows that the facility will
assist residents in obtaining transportation to their appointments as needed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to prevent a resident from cutting his face with a broken razor
for 1 of 3 residents (R5) reviewed for safety in the sample of 10. The findings include:On 1/20/26 at 1:02
PM, V19 (R5's POA - Power of Attorney) said on 11/21/25 V20 (R5's family member) went to visit R5 and
his face was all scratched up with scabbed blood. V19 said V20 immediately took pictures and sent them to
her. V19 said the family (V19 and V20) were constantly aware of R5's razor. V19 said on 11/18/25 the razor
was in good condition, but on 11/21/25 it wasn't. V19 said she has pictures of all of this. V19 said the head
of R5's razor was damaged and there was a big gouge in the metal part. V19 said it appeared as if the
razor had been dropped, but no one reported it. V19 said R5 can't use his right arm, and the staff have to
hand him his razor. V19 said the staff shouldn't have given R5 a broken razor. V19 said his face was all cut
up because they gave him a razor with metal edges sticking up. V19 said if you try to lightly run your fingers
over the damaged area it would scratch you. V19 said she still has the razor. V19 said there was another
razor in R5's room that didn't belong to him and she believed the facility was trying to cover up that they
damaged R5's razor.R5's Facesheet dated 1/21/26 showed diagnoses to include, but not limited to stroke
with right sided weakness, apraxia (motor disorder affecting the brain's ability to coordinate planned, skilled
movements), aphasia (language disorder that impairs speaking, understanding, reading and writing),
epileptic seizures, and xerosis cutis (severe dry skin). R5's Nurses Note dated 11/21/25 at 4:50 PM,
showed R5 had dry spot scratches noted to his left chin and neck due to shaving. This note showed the
Nurse Practitioner was notified and orders were received for ointment topically every shift for the scratches
until healed. This note showed that V19 (R5's POA) was notified. R5's Concern Form completed by V20
(R5's family member) on 11/21/25 at 8:05 AM showed, R5's razor was dropped, the head of blades was
cracked and wasn't working the same. R5's face got all cut up from the broken razor. V20 wrote that staff
did not look at R5's face only told him they would replace the razor. This form showed the facility would
reimburse V19 (R5's POA) for the razor and the nurse assessed R5 and obtained orders for treatment.The
facility's Final Report dated 12/14/25 showed that R5's family alleged it was abuse to give R5 the broken
razor to shave his face. The facility did not substantiate abuse. This document showed staff interviews did
not reveal how his electric razor broke. This report showed the facility initiated education to staff in regard to
personal items that are damaged or broken. The facility's investigation showed that 6 staff members were
interviewed, and no one knew how R5's razor broke. The statement from V18 (RN - Registered Nurse)
showed that V20 (R5's family member) was screaming at the staff, his face was turning red, and he was
scaring the staff. This statement showed that she told V20 she didn't know the razor was broken.The
facility's In-Service Meeting Attendance Records dated 12/9/25 showed the in-service covered Personal
Belongings Safety. The areas discussed included: 1. Inspect all resident personal belongings before use,
including mobility devices, furniture, footwear, and electrical items. 2. Do not allow resident to use any item
that appears broken, damaged, unstable or unsafe. 3. If any item is found to be damaged, remove it from
use immediately and label it Do Not Use. 4. Notify the nurse manager or supervisor immediately of any
broken or unsafe personal item. 5. The manager will arrange repair or replacement or contact the
family/POA if the item is privately owned. 6. Document findings and actions taken and communicate
concerns during shift report. 6. Immediately report all damaged or broken belongs to the managers. Take

R5. V18 said R5 and his family are very particular about his care. V18 said R5 was insistent on shaving
himself and the staff just set him up. V18 said there was a day R5 was cut by the razor. V18 said she didn't
remember how many cuts or where they were, but she did enter a progress note. V18 said she didn't know
how R5's razor was broken (11/21/25), but the family was very upset. V18 said she called the provider,
obtained an order for ointment, and notified management.On 1/21/26 at 10:15 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing)
said R5 was encouraged to shave himself and the staff should assist him with getting setup. V2 said the
staff hand R5 his razor and he shaved himself. V2 said the staff should check the razor for any damage
before handing it to the resident. V2 said if the razor head was damaged there would be an increased risk
for cutting their face. V2 said she did not look at the razor to see the damage. V2 said the facility did
reimburse R5's family for the damaged razor. V2 said the facility had completed an investigation and
reported this incident after V19 (R5's POA) made a comment that it was abuse that R5 was provided a
broken razor to shave. V2 said abuse wasn't substantiated, but the in-services were provided to the staff
and they couldn't determine how the razor was broken. A policy related to Razor Safety was requested and
not received.
