Findings Include: The Illinois Long Term Care Ombudsman Resident Council Tool Kit for Staff Liaison documents A resident council is an independent group of long term care facility residents who typically meet at a minimum of once a month to discuss concerns and suggestions in the facility and to plan activities that are important to them. Resident Councils are structured in various ways, but usually every resident living in a facility is an automatic member of the council. All grievances raised during the meeting should be recorded in the minutes. Responses to grievances should be received in a timely manner as indicated in the facility's grievance policy. Responses should be specific and should be reflected in subsequent minutes.

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to reweigh a resident after a significant change for one resident (R8) of three residents reviewed for weight change in a total sample of 29.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: R8's Medical Record documents her weight on 11/3/24 as 125.8 pounds. R8's Medical Record documents her weight to be 173 pounds on 11/22/24 and again on 12/1/24. R8's Progress Note dated 12/27/24 documents that the Registered Dietician did not make any new recommendations for R8's diet because she questioned the accuracy of the weight. Registered Dietician documented This weight was possibly done with her wheelchair. On 3/19/25 at 2:25 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated (R8) did not have any significant weight gain. She should have been reweighed after the 11/22/24 weight of 173. We have no specific policy to say that, but good nursing judgement should have told (staff) that (R8) did not gain almost 50 pounds in one month.

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.
Based on record review and interview the facility failed to attempt a gradual dose reduction of a psychotropic medication for one resident (R39) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications in a total sample of 29.
Findings Include: The Facility's Psychotropic Drugs Usage policy dated 11/2017 documents Psychotropic drug use is based upon the comprehensive assessment of the resident. Psychotropic medications are given as necessary to treat a specific condition that is diagnosed and documented. Residents receiving psychotropic medications will have gradual dose reductions and behavioral interventions implemented unless contraindicated. The Facility's Psychotropic Drugs Usage policy dated 11/2017 documents Dosage reduction of antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and hypnotics are attempted per CMS guidelines unless clinically contraindicated. The physician weighs the risk versus the benefit and documents it in the medical record if the gradual dose reduction is causing an adverse effect on the resident or is deemed a failure, the gradual dose reduction is discontinued. Documentation of this decision and the reason for it are included in the clinical record. R39's Physician Order Sheet documents 06/22/2023 Olanzapine (antipsychotic) 12.5 mg (milligrams) every day for Schizoaffective type Bipolar. R39's Medical Record did not include any documentation of any attempts to gradually reduce R39's Olanzapine since 06/22/2023. On 6/20/25 at 2:00 PM V1 (Registered Nurse/Administrator) stated that she is the person currently responsible for the facility's psychotropic medication program. V1 confirmed that R39 had not had any gradual dose reductions since 2023. V1 confirmed that CMS guidelines would have been to attempt a gradual dose reduction every year so R39 should have at least one GDR (gradual dose reduction) done by July 2024 or documentation of why we don't think it should be done. V1 confirmed neither documentation was available for R39.
