Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure personal cares were performed in a
manner to maintain residents' dignity for 2 of 2 residents (R79, R2) reviewed for dignity in the sample of 13.
The findings include:
1. R79's admission Record, printed by the facility on 5/3/23, showed she had diagnoses including
Alzheimer's disease with early onset, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder. R79's baseline Care
Plan dated 4/18/23, showed she was dependent on 2 staff members for toileting and bathing. The
assessment showed R79 was dependent on one staff for dressing.
On 5/2/23 at 10:32 AM, V15 (Hospice CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant) exited R79's room with R79 sitting
in a shower chair. R79 was naked from the waist down. A blanket was on R79's lap, covering her front area
and legs. R79's buttocks was not covered and could be clearly seen from the nurse's desk.
On 5/4/23 at 9:19 AM, V5 (CNA) said it is important to make sure a resident's body is covered when you
are transporting them across the hall for their shower. You should not expose the resident's naked body to
maintain their dignity and privacy.
On 5/03/23 at 10:04 AM, V5 and V7 (CNA) transferred R79 from her hospice geriatric chair to her bed. V5
and V7 pulled down R79's pants and provided peri care for R79. V5 washed the middle then sides of R79's
peri area, then rinsed and dried the same way. V5 and V7 rolled R79 onto her left side and washed, rinsed
and dried her buttocks. The curtain in R79's room was wide open the entire time V5 and V7 performed
personal care for R79 and the entrance area to the front of the building and parking area was clearly
visible. R79 kept trying to pull her pants back up during care. V7 had to ask R79 to hold her hands, so R79
would not try pulling up her pants.
On 5/03/23 at 1:42 PM, V5 CNA said she should have closed the curtains in R79's room prior to providing
incontinent care for the resident's privacy and dignity.
On 5/04/23 at 9:37 AM, V2 DON residents should be covered when they are being transferred down the
hall to the shower for their dignity. The resident's curtains should be closed during personal cares for their
dignity.
2. R2's face sheet printed on 5/3/23 showed diagnosis including but not limited to rhabdomyolysis (severe
muscle breakdown), dementia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, gastrostomy status, and history of

cerebral infarction. R2's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed severe cognitive impairment and requires
total staff assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal
hygiene. The same assessment showed R2 is always incontinent of urine and bowel.
On 5/2/23 at 9:19 AM, V5 and V11 (Certified Nurse Aides) provided incontinence care to R2 while she was
lying in bed. V5 and V11 removed the wet incontinence brief and rolled R2 from side to side while cleansing
her. V5 and V11 removed R2's nightgown and put a fresh gown on her. R2 was naked and fully exposed to
the window that was next to the bed. The window looked out to the front entry and a set of windows where
a group activity was occurring.
On 5/4/23 at 8:50 AM, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated window curtains should be closed while personal care
is happening. It is especially important because all the resident rooms are on the main floor, and someone
can easily see into the rooms. It does not feel good to be naked and exposed. Cognition levels make no
difference. The curtains provide dignity and should be pulled closed during all cares.
The undated Residents' Rights for People in Long-Term Care Facilities pamphlet (Produced by the Illinois
Department of Aging) states: Your medical and personal care are private. Facility staff must respect your
privacy when you are being examined or given care.

admission Record, printed by the facility on 5/3/23, showed she had diagnoses including Alzheimer's
disease with early onset, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder. R79's baseline Care Plan dated
4/18/23, showed she was dependent on 2 staff members for toileting and bathing. The care plan showed
R79 was dependent on one staff for dressing. The care plan also showed R79 was a high fall risk and had
poor safety awareness. The Care plan did not identify a restraint, a lap buddy or a table/tray.
Residents Affected - Few
On 5/2/23 at 10:23 AM R79 was observed sitting in a low hospice geriatric chair in the common area, by
the nurse's station. A tray was attached to the front of R79's geriatric chair. V15 (Hospice CNA-Certified
Nursing Assistant) took R79 to give her a shower. After the shower, R79 was placed back into the low
hospice geriatric chair and the tray was placed back on the chair.
On 5/3/23 R79 was observed sitting in the dining room during the breakfast and lunch meals with the tray
attached to her geriatric chair. The only time R79 was observed without the tray attached to her geriatric
chair on 5/2/23 and 5/3/23 was when staff were providing incontinent care for her, or she was being
provided a shower. On 5/2/23 and 5/3/23 a magazine was seen sitting on R79's tray table for a brief period.
The magazine was open on both observations, however R79 was not looking at the magazine, or turning
pages in the magazine.
On 5/2/23 at 12:18 PM V1 (Administrator) said R79 has the table for activity purposes, she is a very busy
person and likes to do things constantly. V1 said R79 is new to the facility and on hospice. V1 said hospice
suggested they use the table to allow R79 to keep activities on the table top within reach.
On 5/3/23 at 9:43 AM, V18 and V19 (R79's family) said the table attached to her low hospice geriatric chair
was new. V19 added that last Wednesday when they came in, there was a cushion that went in front of R79
and under the arms of the chair (lap buddy). Both V18 and V19 said they think the tray table may be due to
R79's frequent falls in the previous facility. V19 said R79 fell in the previous facility and had to have hip
surgery. V18 said R79 would keep scooting forward and try to get up out of the chair.
On 5/03/23 at 1:15 PM, V13 Nurse Practitioner-NP) said the table attached to R79's chair was definitely a
restraint. V13 said the table is not the same as a lap buddy pad. V13 said the tray table is a hard table not a
padded cushion. V13 said the tray would be a restraint and would need to have an order and a rationale for
it. V13 said R79 did not have that when she came in to facility. V13 said a lap buddy pad and a hard tray are
not the same thing.
On 5/03/23 at 1:33 PM, V12 (Therapy Rehab Director) said R79 was not evaluated by the therapy
department. V12 said R79 was on hospice when she was admitted . We did not have anything to do with
the table on her chair.
On 5/04/23 at 9:30 AM, (Director of Nursing-DON) said R79 would not be able to get out of the chair on her
own with the tray. V2 said R79 would not be able to take the tray off. The tray is not a lap buddy pad. V2 said
there should be an assessment, an order and a rationale for the restraint use. V2 said there should also be
a signed consent for the restraint.

R79's Physician's Order Sheet (POS), signed by R79's physician on 4/19/23, showed the following order:
4/25/23 Lap buddy pad may be used for patient comfort. No order for a tray/table restraint was listed on the
POS.
The Physical Restraint/Enabler Consent document in R79's paper medical record was not filled out and
there was a line drawn through the document going from the right side in a downward motion to the left side
of the document. The Physical Enabler/Restraint Use/Reduction Evaluation located in R79's paper medical
record was not filled out and there were lines on page 2 and page 4 of the forms going from one side of the
page down to the other side of the page.
The facility was in the process of initiating electronic medical records for the facility. R79's electronic
medical record was reviewed. There was no order for a table/tray restraint and no signed consent for the
restraint in R79's orders tab, miscellaneous tab, or assessment tab.
R79's Medication Record, provided by the facility on 5/4/23, showed Fax out re (regarding) lap buddy order.
No information regarding a tray table was listed on R79's Medication Record.
R79's Order Summary Report for active orders as of 5/3/23, showed no order for a Geri-chair tray table.
R79's Medication Administration Record from 5/1/23-5/31/23 showed no order for a Geri-chair tray table.
R79's Hospice Binder contained six pages in the binder: an In-Home Medical Group Order Form for
Hospice Evaluation dated 4/14/23, a hospice form showing R79's name, date admitted to hospice and
information on when the facility staff should call hospice with their number listed on the form. Another one
of the forms provided a list of the Hospice Interdisciplinary Team and their contact numbers. Another form in
the binder showed the Procedure for Death of a Hospice Patient in a Nursing Home. Another form was the
Hospice' admission Order Set. The admission Order Set did not contain an order for a geri-chair tray table.
The last document was the hospice Nursing Progress Notes. The notes did not mention anything about a
geri-chair tray table.
The facility's policy and procedure titled Physical Restraint/Enabler Policy, with a revision date of 7/24/18,
showed Definition of a Physical Restraint: Physical restraints (are) any manual method or physical, or
mechanical device, equipment, or material attached or adjacent to the resident's body, which the individual
cannot remove easily and which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to his or her body. A
device that may constitute a physical restraint may include, but is not limited to: bed rails, self-release waist
restraints, soft waist restraints, lap top cushions, vest restraints, Geri-chair with tray table, arm restraints,
leg restraints, personal alarms and hand mitts . The policy showed Procedure: 1. Complete Physical
Enabler/Restraint Use/Reduction Evaluation. 2. Obtain verbal and/or written consent from resident/legally
responsible party (May obtain verbal consent until able to receive written consent). 3. Document in nurse's
notes the date, time, and which type of consent obtained prior to physical restraint being applied. 4. Obtain
M.D. (Doctor) order for restraint or adaptive device/enabler. The order must include: Specific
medical/physical reason, type of restraint/enabler, release and reposition at least every two hours, and
when to be used .15. Document in nurse's notes type of restraint being used and resident's response to the
physical restraint. 16. Place physical restraint problem on the resident's care plan. The care plan must
address the duration, type, and circumstances under which the restraint can be used. 17. After initial
documentation, all physical restraints require quarterly documentation regarding the type of physical
restraint

Restraint Elimination/Reductions Program ninety days from application.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to identify the use of physical restraints
and failed to follow their policy for restraints for 2 of 2 residents (R2, R79) reviewed for physical restraints in
the sample of 13.
The findings include:
1. R2's face sheet printed on 5/3/23 showed diagnosis including but not limited to rhabdomyolysis (severe
muscle breakdown), dementia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, gastrostomy status, and history of cerebral
infarction. R2's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed severe cognitive impairment and requires total
staff assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
The same assessment showed R2 is always incontinent. The assessment showed R2 was not using any
type of physical restraint.
On 5/2/23 at 9:36 AM, R2 was transferred from the bed to her wheelchair using a mechanical lift. V5 and
V11 (CNAs-Certified Nurse Aides) reclined the high back wheelchair slightly and clipped a seat belt around
R2's waist. At 11:38 AM, R2 was still in the wheelchair with the seat belt clipped across her waist. V5
approached and wheeled R2 down the hall and set her in the front foyer. The seat belt remained clipped
around her waist.
On 5/2/23 at 12:24 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated there are no restraints used in the building. The facility
Matrix for Providers form supplied at entrance did not indicate any physical restraint use for R2 or R79.
R2's active physician orders dated 5/3/23 showed an order for: Seat belt in cushion wheelchair. The order
had no rationale for the use.
R2's working paper chart care plan showed a focus area related to falls. A handwritten intervention dated
10/16/19 (3+ years ago) stated: ok to have seat belt in wheelchair as enable for positioning due to dx of MS
(diagnoses of multiple sclerosis). There were no interventions related to release time or monitoring.
On 5/3/23 at 11:24 AM, V13 (Nurse Practitioner) stated she was unaware R2 had a seat belt and there was
no reason for it. V13 said R2 has severe dementia, requires total care, and absolutely could not remove it
herself. V13 said any resident with a restraint requires a physician order, consent, and documentation of
why it is needed. V13 said the facility protocol needs to be followed. V13 said she had no knowledge of who
ordered the belt use from 2019 and possibly the therapy department would know. At 11:32 AM, V13
observed R2's wheelchair with seat belt and said, Yes, this is definitely not needed. Maybe it just came with
the custom wheelchair and staff are using it because it is there. (R2) is always reclined back in her chair so
the belt would serve no re-positioning purpose. She does not fall forward or move in the wheelchair.
On 5/3/23 at 11:38 AM, V12 (Physical Therapist/Rehab Director) stated R2 tends to lean to the side while in
her wheelchair but does have enough lateral support to keep herself upright. R2 does not have a problem
rolling forward and the seat belt is not a therapy intervention. R2 does not need a seat belt for positioning in
the wheelchair.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 5/4/23 at 8:52 AM, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated a physical restraint is anything that stops movement
or freedom for a resident. V2 said she would consider a seat belt a restraint. It stops the resident from
moving while in the chair. V2 said a consent and physician order are needed. Routine reassessments are
required to ensure the need for use is still there. V2 said the misuse of physical restraints have a high risk of
injury and can be undignified for a resident.
Residents Affected - Few
On 5/4/23 at 9:10 AM, V1 (Administrator) said a restraint is any device that prevents a resident from moving
the body. V1 said R2's seat belt is not a restraint because she needs it for re-positioning. V1 was asked who
determined it was for repositioning and replied, I don't know. V1 said she has seen R2 and there is no
possibility she could remove the belt herself. V1 said there is probably no reason for it. V1 said there should
be a consent, assessment for the need, doctors order, quarterly reviews and how it should be used. All
those items are important to ensure safety and that it is being used appropriately for the resident. V1 said
restraints have the potential to cause entrapment, injury, and emotional stress.
On 5/4/23 at 11:33 AM, V1 and V2 stated there was no documentation of R2's seat belt consent, physician
order with reason for use, assessments, or attempt to reduce the use.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care
was provided for 1 of 1 resident (R19) reviewed for activities of daily living in the sample of 13.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
R19's face sheet printed on 5/3/23 showed diagnoses including but not limited to Huntington's Disease,
muscle weakness, insomnia, gastrostomy status, and dysphagia. R19's facility assessment dated [DATE]
showed no cognitive impairment and staff assistance needed for bed mobility, transfers, locomotion,
dressing, eating, toilet use and personal hygiene. R19's ADL report for April 2023 showed total staff
dependence for oral hygiene.
On 5/2/23 at 9:52 AM, R19 was seated in a wheelchair in her room. R19 was alert and able to nod yes or
no in answer but was non-verbal. R19's teeth, tongue, and lips were covered with a yellowish, crusty
substance. R19's call light was lying on the floor, underneath her bed. At 9:55 AM, V5 (Certified Nurse Aide)
said R19 can express her needs and uses the call light to ask for help. She needs help with transfers,
incontinence care, and basically everything. She is aware of her surroundings and can express her needs
with yes or no nods. At 12:28 PM, R19 was in her wheelchair and the call light was still in same position. At
3:20 PM, R19 was in bed and the call light was over her head.
On 5/3/23 at 8:56 AM, R19 was asleep in bed. The call light was above her head, next to the pillow. At
11:54 AM, V3 (Registered Nurse) supplied liquid nutrition to R19 via her G-tube. R19's lips, teeth, and
tongue were still caked with a yellowish, dried substance. V3 stated she should be getting oral care every
shift. It is not getting done. R19 had a terrible lip sore from chapped lips last week and it was likely caused
by lack of oral hygiene. V3 said R19 is very alert and just has a speech issue. V3 said R19 uses the call
light when she needs assistance with any of her ADLs.
The facility was unable to supply any documentation related to oral care being provided to R19.
The facility Oral Care/Toothbrushing policy review dated 3/20/23 states: Policy-To provide adequate oral
hygiene for all residents. 17. Repeat procedure as frequently as necessary.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to document an assessment of a pressure area
and develop a care plan for 1 of 1 resident (R21) reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 13.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
R21's admission Record, printed by the facility on 5/4/23, showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including anemia, muscle spasm, malignant neoplasm of exocervix (the outer part of the
cervix that opens into the vagina), obstructive (a condition in which urine cannot flow, either partially or
completely, through the ureter, bladder or urethra due to some type of obstruction) and reflux uropathy (a
condition in which the kidneys are damaged by the backward flow of urine into the kidney). R21's facility
assessment dated [DATE] showed she was cognitively intact. The assessment showed R21 required
extensive assist of two staff members for bed mobility and dressing, extensive assist of one staff member
for personal hygiene, and was dependent on two staff members for toileting and transfers. The assessment
also showed R21 had a limitation to her range of motion on one side of her upper and lower extremities.
On 5/3/23 at 10:53 AM, V3 (Registered Nurse-RN) said R21 had a pressure ulcer on her buttocks. V3 said
it started out as a shear and developed into a pressure injury.
R21's Skilled Progress Notes from 4/1/23-5/3/23 did not show an assessment of the wound on R21's
buttocks. R21's paper chart medical record did not have any assessment of R21's wound on her buttocks.
R21's electronic medical record did not have any assessment of a pressure wound to R21's buttocks in the
miscellaneous tab, assessment tab, or progress notes tab. The facility's Treatment Administration Record
(TAR) binder was reviewed with no assessment for the pressure area on R21's buttocks in the tab marked
with R21's name. R21's TAR (located in the binder) showed an order dated 4/20/23, Apply duoderm to left
buttock every 72 hours and as needed for dressing failure. No assessment of the left buttocks was listed on
the TAR. This surveyor asked V1 (Administrator) for the first assessment and the most recent assessment
of the wound to R21's buttocks.
On 5/4/23 at 7:50 AM, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN/MDS Nurse) was asked to let this surveyor know
when she was going to do the dressing change for R21 so an observation of the wound could be done. V6
agreed to the request. At 8:55 AM, V1 (Administrator) was asked to provide the first assessment for R21's
pressure injury to her left buttocks, and the most recent assessment. At 10:40 AM, V1 said they were not
able to locate any assessments for R21's pressure injury. At 10:48 AM, V6 said she had already changed
the dressing for R21 because the dressing had come off. V6 said she assessed the area and updated the
doctor. V6 said the order was changed to (barrier cream) and leave open to air, due to the area healing
well. At 10:52 AM, V6, V16 and V17 (Certified Nursing Assistants-CNAs) rolled R21 onto her left side. R21
had two small open red areas to her left inner buttocks. When V6 pressed the area lightly, R21 said Ouch.
V6 said the area was not healed, but it is healing well. V6's assessment and any written correspondence
with R21's doctor on 5/4/21 regarding R21's pressure injury was requested.
R21's Order Summary Report, showing active orders as of 5/4/23, showed an order for duoderm CGF
(control gel formula) dressing (a flexible, waterproof dressing that forms a gel-like covering used to protect
the open area and prevent infection). the order showed Apply to left inner buttock every 3 days and as
needed for wound care.

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to transfer a high fall risk resident
safely and failed to ensure a resident did not hold smoking materials for 2 of 2 residents (R10, R82)
reviewed for safety in the sample of 13.
The findings include:
1. R10's face sheet printed on 5/3/23 showed diagnoses including but not limited to metabolic
encephalopathy, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, unsteadiness on feet, and altered mental status.
R10's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed total dependence on staff for transfers and toilet use. The
same assessment showed R10 is always incontinent of urine and bowel.
R10's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] showed a high risk for falls. The facility supplied fall log showed
R10 has fallen five times within the last three months.
On 5/2/23 at 9:02 AM, V5 and V7 (CNAs-Certified Nurse Aides) entered R10's room and wheeled her to the
bathroom. V5 assisted R10 to stand and pivot to the toilet while holding her arm. V5 assisted R10 back into
her wheelchair in the same manner after using the toilet. At no time was the gait belt, which was hanging
on R10's door, put on her waist. V5 was questioned about the lack of gait belt and said she did not use the
belt because there were grab bars in the bathroom. V5 said R10 can stand well without the gait belt so she
does not use it for toileting. V5 said if R10 was transferring outside of the room then she would use it. V5
said R10 has had falls in the past but is doing pretty good now so the belt isn't needed.
On 5/3/23 at 11:47 AM, V12 (Physical Therapist) said R10 needs help with transfers. Her cognition is not
good, and she has poor safety awareness. V12 said gait belts are necessary to prevent falls. V12 said R10
is declining physically and mentally due to her disease processes.
On 5/4/23 at 9:00 AM, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated gait belts are used for all resident transfers and
ambulation. They are necessary for safety and to reduce falls. Gait belts reduce the chance of a resident
being hurt from a fall. V2 said anyone who needs assistance with transfers or ambulation requires a gait
belt.
The facility Fall Prevention policy revision dated 12/09 states under the fall prevention interventions: 11.
Transfer with proper number of assist and gait belt.
The facility Transfer Belts/Gait Belts policy revision dated 12/17/12 states under the policy section: GAIT
BELTS ARE MANDATORY.
2. R82's face sheet printed on 5/3/23 showed an admission date of 2/28/23 and diagnoses including but not
limited to complex febrile convulsions.
On 5/2/23 at 3:27 PM, R82 was lying on her stomach in bed and dressed. R82 had three packs of
cigarettes on the bed next to her and one pack on her nightstand. R82 was asked where she keeps her
lighter and matches and replied, With me. R82 was asked to show this surveyor where she keeps them but

On 5/2/23 at 3:45 PM, R82 was outside smoking while being supervised by V3 (Licensed Practical Nurse).
Residents Affected - Few
On 5/3/23 at 2:17 PM, V3 (LPN) said we do go out with her (R82) each time she smokes. She needs
supervision. We do not hold her lighter or matches at the nurse station. I am not sure where she keeps
them, but yesterday she pulled a lighter out of her own pocket. So yes, she is keeping them in her room
someplace. At 2:28 PM, V14 (CNA) said R82 does need staff supervision to go outside and smoke. V14
stated R82 has her cigarettes and lighter with her each time he is with her. V14 said she keeps them in her
coat pocket.
On 5/3/23 at 2:37 PM, R82's chart was reviewed by this surveyor and V2 (DON) for a smoking assessment
and care plan for safe smoking. None were located. At 3:02 PM, V1 (Administrator) reviewed R82's chart
and was also unable to locate the documents. V1 said the smoking assessment is necessary to ensure a
resident is safe to smoke.
On 5/4/23 at 9:15 AM, V1 (Administrator) said residents are not allowed to hold their own smoking
materials. It is a fire and safety hazard to themselves and others. V1 said R82 does need supervision to
smoke and there is no reason she should have smoking items in her room. That is not safe, and the items
should be locked in a med room until R82 wants to smoke.
The facility supplied a Resident Smoking Assessment for R82 dated 5/3/23 (same day as survey). The
assessment showed R82 was permitted to smoke per facility policies and procedures.
The undated facility Smoking Policy states under the guidelines section: 2. Residents .may not keep his/her
smoking materials.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have an order for dialysis on a resident's
Physician's Order Sheet (POS) and failed to develop a dialysis care plan for 1 of 1 resident (R 81) reviewed
for dialysis in the sample of 13.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
R81's admission Record, printed by the facility on 5/4/23 showed R81 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and had diagnoses of end stage renal disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, muscle weakness,
major depressive disorder, type II diabetes mellitus, and other disorders of electrolyte and fluid balance.
R81's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed he was cognitively intact and required extensive assist of
two staff members for bed mobility and toileting. The assessment showed R81 was dependent on staff
members for transfers, dressing and bathing. The assessment also showed that R81 was receiving dialysis.
On 5/2/23 at 1:18 PM, R81 was in his room, sitting in his wheelchair. R81 said he had just got back from
having dialysis at an outside facility.
R81's Physician's Orders do not show an order for dialysis. R81's Baseline Care plan dated 4/14/23 does
not show that R81 receives dialysis and does not list the location of the dialysis center, the days R81
receives dialysis, or the site on R81's body that he receives dialysis through. The Baseline Care Plan does
not identify what to monitor for after R81 returns from dialysis, who and when to call if there are any
concerns or provide information on any instructions prior to R81 receiving dialysis (i.e., what medications to
give prior, what medications to hold prior to dialysis, etc.).
On 5/04/23 at 9:40 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing-DON) said if a resident is receiving dialysis, there should be
an order located in the Physician's Orders. The order should identify the days for dialysis, the location of
dialysis, and what to monitor for post dialysis. V2 said there are things that need to be monitored when they
receive dialysis, for their safety. V2 said there should also be a care plan in place for dialysis to guide staff
in the care of a dialysis patient.
The facility's policy and procedure titled Dialysis, with a review date of 3/17/23, showed the different types
of dialysis. The policy that was provided listed things that are important to monitor for in a resident with an
access site for dialysis. The policy provided by the facility did not address making sure there is an order for
dialysis, including the days dialysis is scheduled. The policy that was provided also did not address
developing a care plan for the care of the dialysis patient.

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a Registered Nurse was on duty at least
8 hours a day. This had the potential to affect all 29 facility residents.
Residents Affected - Many
The findings include:
The facility's 5/3/23 Resident Census and Conditions of the Resident's form showed there were 29 facility
residents.
On 05/03/23 at 02:27 PM, V10 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said she had been working at the facility
since February. V10 said she works part time as needed on Sundays and during the month of April 2023
there were no Registered Nurses (RNs) or Administration staff present.
On 05/03/23 at 03:55 PM, V9 LPN said she works as needed and during the month of April 2023 there
were no RNs working while she was there.
On 05/04/23 at 09:44 AM, V1 Administrator was shown the April 2023 nursing schedule. V1 said you're
right and acknowledged there were no RNs scheduled to work any Sunday in April. V1 said she worked 4
hours on a Sunday in April but that doesn't cover all those days.
The facility's schedule showed no RNs scheduled to work on 4/2, 4/9, 4/16, 4/23, and 4/30/23.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. R83's
admission Record, printed by the facility on 5/3/23, showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
R83's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed she is cognitively intact.
On 5/02/23 at 9:40 AM, R83 was sitting in her room. V20 (R83's husband) was also in her room. V20 said
the facility still has not received R83's Norco from the pharmacy and they are only able to give her the pain
medication because he brought in a bottle that she had prior to coming to the facility. V20 was concerned
that the supply he brought into the facility was getting low and the facility still has not received the pain
medication from the pharmacy. R83 said she always has pain but the Norco helps with the pain.
On 5/02/23 at 10:30 AM, V3 (Registered Nurse-RN) said in order to fill R83's Norco prescription, the
pharmacy has to have an e-script. V3 said the facility only has a paper script from the hospital. V3 said she
would call the pharmacy and see if they ever received the e-script from the hospital. V3 said she could not
get the pain medication out of the C-box (a box containing controlled medications that is provided by the
pharmacy) for R83 because there is no e-script. V3 said R83 has been receiving Norco for pain because
V20 brought in a bottle of Norco to the facility for her.
On 5/02/23 at 1:22 PM, V20 came to the conference room and asked this surveyor what she found out
about R83's Norco. This surveyor informed V20 that V1 (Administrator) and V2 (Director of Nursing) were
asked to look into it and update him and R83. This surveyor also informed V20 that she had spoken with V3
and she said the pharmacy has to have an e-script in order to fill the Norco and that V3 said she was going
to call the pharmacy and see where they were at.
ON 5/03/23 at 3:06 PM, V3 said when she (V3) came in on Saturday (4/29/23), R83 had about 5 pills that
her husband had brought in for her. V3 showed this surveyor the reconciliation sheet that showed on
4/29/23 there were 6 Norco 5/325 mg pills for R83. V3 said she called the pharmacy and they said they
would only accept an e-script from a doctor's office and not a paper script that was sent from the facility. V3
said she called the doctor's office that prescribed the Norco at the hospital and left a message. V3 said it
was the weekend so there was no one at the doctor's office. V3 said on Monday the hospital doctor's office
called back and said they did not feel comfortable sending an e-script for the Norco because they were the
hospitalist that just happened to be working that day at the hospital. V3 said the hospitalist said that it would
have to be the facility's doctor that sends an e-script over to the pharmacy. V3 said she called R83's doctor
on Tuesday to get an e-script sent to the pharmacy. V3 said she is not sure why the nurse that was on duty
Monday did not call the facility's doctor to get the e-script sent on Monday. V3 said she (V3) could have
called the facility's doctor on Saturday to get the order for the Norco but she was waiting until she got the
declination from the prescribing physician at the hospital. V3 said the facility received R83's Norco from the
pharmacy last night (Tuesday 5/2/23).
On 5/04/23 at 9:44 AM, V2 (DON) said R83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and her Norco 5-325 was
delivered to the facility on 5/2/23 in the evening. V2 said that is not acceptable. V2 said with the e-script, the
doctor needs to send it to the pharmacy. V2 said knowing it was the weekend, and they were not going to
probably be able to contact the physician from the hospital that ordered the pain medication. The nurse on
duty should have either called the resident's Primary Care Physician or the facility's Medical Director to
have an e-script sent to the pharmacy so R83's medication

would have arrived in a timely manner. V2 stated, It is not up to the family to make sure the residents'
medications are available. That is all on us.
R83's Order Summary Report for active orders as of 5/3/23, showed an active order for Norco 5-325 mg
one tablet every 4 hours as needed for pain. That order showed a start date of 5/1/23. R83's April 2023
Medication Administration Record PRN (as needed) Medication Information sheet, dated 4/27/23, showed
an order on 4/27/23 for Norco 5-325 mg every 4 hours as needed for pain.
R83's Care Plan dated 5/3/23 showed she is taking pain medication related to back pain.
R83's Controlled Substance Proof of Use form started with 6 Norco 5-325 milligram (mg) pills documented
on the form on 4/30/23. The form showed 10 more Norco 5-325 mg pills were brought in on 5/2/23 when
R83 only had 1 Norco left. V3 identified the source of the Norco 5-325 as V20 bringing in for R83.
The Pharmacy Delivery Receipt dated 5/2/23 showed 30 Norco 5-325 mg tablets were delivered to the
facility at 6:15 PM for R83 on 5/2/23.
The facility's undated policy and procedure titled Pharmacy Medication Procurement was reviewed. the
facility's Controlled Substances policy and procedure, with a review date of 3/16/23 was reviewed. The
facility's policy and procedure titled Conformance with Physician Medication Orders, with a reviewed date of
9/27/17 was reviewed. None of the three previously listed policies addressed what to do if there is a
problem or issue getting prescribed medications from the pharmacy (i.e., notify the Director of Nursing, the
resident's Physician, or the facility's Medical Director).
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure controlled medications were
reconciled in a manner to prevent diversion for 3 of 3 residents (R79, R4, R13) reviewed for medication
storage in the sample of 13 and failed to ensure a resident's pain medication was available for use for 1 of 1
resident (R83) reviewed for pain medications in the sample of 13.
The findings include:
On 05/02/23 at 08:53 AM, during the medication storage task with V3 Registered Nurse (RN) there were
three boxes in the medication refrigerator. One box had R79's information on the label and included a
sealed 15 milliliter (ml) bottle of morphine sulfate 100 milligrams (mg) per 5 ml oral solution and a sealed 30
ml bottle of lorazepam 2 mg per ml oral solution. Neither bottle had a reconciliation form to show it was
controlled and accounted. A second box had R4's information on the label and contained a sealed 5 ml
bottle of morphine sulfate 20 mg per ml oral solution and a sealed 5 ml bottle of lorazepam 2 mg per ml oral
solution. Neither bottle had a reconciliation form to show it was controlled and accounted. A third box
labeled with R13's information contained a sealed bottle of morphine sulfate 100 mg per 5 ml oral solution.
This bottle did not have a reconciliation form to show it was controlled and accounted.
On 5/2/23 at 9:00 AM, V3 said there aren't any count (reconciliation) sheets for the above medications, and
they're not counted each shift. Morphine and lorazepam are both controlled drugs and should be counted.
It's important to count controlled medications every shift because otherwise they can disappear and we
wouldn't know. V3 said the boxes are comfort kits brought by hospice.
On 05/03/23 at 12:56 PM, V1 Administrator said controlled medications should be reconciled to avoid

and it is confirmed and counted at each shift change and each dose is signed out.
The facility's 3/16/23 Controlled Substances Policy showed at the time a controlled substance is delivered,
the charge nurse and the delivery person will count the controlled substance together to verify the count. If
the controlled substance count is correct, a control sheet for each prescription will be initiated. The control
sheet will contain: the residents name, ordering physician's name, issuing pharmacy, name and strength of
the drug, quantity received, and date and time received. All schedule II drugs must be administered and
recorded on a disposition sheet. The drugs in other schedules deemed necessary for control are placed
under the same restrictions as schedule II drugs by the pharmacist. The drugs in schedule II (and those in
other schedules which have been restricted and stored in the controlled substances cabinet) will be
counted and reconciled by the nurse coming on duty and the nurse that is going off duty.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were offered immunization for influenza
and pneumonia and failed to obtain historical immunization data for 3 of 5 residents (R21, R79, R81)
reviewed for immunizations in the sample of 13.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 05/03/23 at 03:08 PM, V8 Regional Director of Operations said there were no consents, historical data,
or evidence of immunization for pneumonia or influenza being offered for R21, R79, and R81.
On 05/04/23 at 08:50 AM, V1 said she it's important to ensure residents have their immunizations or at
least offered and up to date. If residents are not immunized there is an increased risk of them becoming ill,
an increased for spreading disease, and making them more susceptible to complications of infectious
diseases. The residents live in a high risk environment and being immunized decreases their likelihood of
getting flu & pneumonia.
The resident immunization review in the infection control task revealed the facility had no influenza or
pneumonia history, data, or evidence of offering the vaccines to R21, R79, or R81.
The facility's 1/23/20 Immunization of Residents Policy showed the facility will offer immunizations and
vaccinations that aid in the prevention of infectious diseases. The facility will explain to the resident,
resident's guardian or the resident's Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care at the time of admission,
the importance of vaccination against common illnesses such as pneumonia and influenza. Verify the date
of the last vaccination. Obtain proof of Pneumococcal and Influenza vaccination for residents when able.
Assess all newly admitted residents' pneumococcal and influenza vaccination status upon admission and
record last known immunization on the resident's immunization record. Offer the PCV13 or PPSV23
(pneumonia vaccines) as indicated utilizing the Pneumococcal vaccination algorithm unless
contraindicated. Offer the pneumococcal vaccination within 30 days of admission.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention algorithm showed to administer pneumococcal
vaccination to adults age [AGE] and older if no immunocompromising condition present. Adults age
[AGE]-64 with specified immunocompromising conditions (including renal failure) were include in another
algorithm recommending vaccination.
