**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility repeatedly failed to ensure residents' right to be free from physical
abuse of R8 by R9, R5 by R4, R12 by R11, and R13 by R9. R5, R8, R12 and R13, are four of 20 residents
reviewed for abuse on the sample list of 25. Findings include:1.) R8's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated
[DATE] documents R8's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of six, out of a possible 15, indicating
severe cognitive impairment . R8's same MDS documents R8 has had no delusions or hallucinations, and
no behaviors directed towards self or others.R9's MDS dated [DATE] documents the following: R9's BIMS
score of three out of a possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. R9's same MDS documents R9
has had no delusions or hallucinations, and no behaviors directed towards self or others.The Facility
Reported Incident (FRI) of 7/5/25/2601647 documents: Resident to Resident Physical Assault. The same
FRI report documents the following: On 7/5/25 at 8:20 AM, (V4, Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) was
pushing (R25)'s wheelchair down the hall. (R8) was in (R8)'s wheelchair in the middle of the hall. (V4, CNA)
went to move (R8) to the side, and while (V4, CNA) was moving (R8), (R9) approached (R8), and made
contact with (R8)'s face.The facility Illinois Department of Public Health Initial dated 7/5/25, and
corresponding Final Abuse Investigation Report, Resident to Resident Physical dated 7/10/25 documents
the following conclusion:1. Based on the results of the investigation, the facility has found the following: a.
Resident (R8) was seated in (R8's) wheelchair in the [NAME] unit hallway. b. Resident (R9) was observed
walking by Resident (R8) and made contact with the left side of (R8's) face. c. Resident (R8) stated she
was not upset by the alleged occurrence. (R8's interview was conducted 7/7/25, two days after the physical
abuse occurred. R8's BIMs score documented above indicates R8 has severe cognitive impairment)d.
Resident (R9) does not recall the alleged occurrence. (R9's interview was conducted 7/7/25, two days after
the physical abuse occurred. R9's BIM's score documented above indicates R9 also has severe cognitive
impairment).On 9/5/25 at 9:30 am V4 CNA stated V4 was the CNA that witnessed R9 hit R8 in the face. V4,
CNA stated (R9) smacked (R8) in the face, hurting her eye. I (V4, CNA) immediately separated them and
reported to the (V1, Administrator/Abuse Prevention Coordinator. (R9) was a one-on-one (individual staff
supervision) the rest of the day. (R8)'s face was not red but her eye was, probably because she was
rubbing it. I could tell it hurt but she couldn't verbalize that. I told the nurse (unidentified) right away. We
monitored her the rest of the day for any signs of injury. It did not seem to bother her later. Her face never
got red. The nurse did a skin assessment on both (R9) and (R8). (R9) never even realized what he did, I
guess. It was deliberate and for no reason. (R8) did not provoke him (R9) in any way. He just walked right
up to her, and slapped her. On 9/5/25 at 12:05 pm V1, Administrator/Abuse prevention Coordinator
reviewed R8 and R9 abuse allegation investigation documented above and confirmed R9 intentionally
slapped R8 in the face.2.) R4s Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents the following: R4's Brief

assessments on R4 and R5 after the resident-to-resident altercation. V10 stated on 8/17/25, R4 had hit R5
with a book.On 9/5/25 at 11:07 am (R5) stated (R4) is always out to get me. She is always making snide
remarks and thinks people are talking about her. I just stay clear of her. The day we were coming out of
church, I was talking to (V26, R20's Family Member). (R4) was stopped in front of us. I told (V26) to tell her
(R4) to get out of our way. (R4) backed her wheelchair up. She (R4) raised her arm up and swung so fast, I
couldn't block her. She (R4) hit me (R5) across the chest and my arm with her bible. It was a black, heavy
book. (V28, Activity Assistant) immediately moved (R4) out of the way and went down the hall. I was fine
physically. It only hurt a minute. It did not stay red long. She isn't that strong, just mean.(chest and arm). I
was just (expletive) it happened is all. I (R5) stay clear of her (R4) as much as possible. I have not had
anything like that happen again.On 9/5/25 at 10:58 am V28, Activity Assistant stated I was talking to
a(unidentified family member) right after the church activity. I heard (R5) say to (R4) 'Do not hit me'. I turned
around immediately and could see (R4's) pull back her hand real fast. I went over immediately and
separated them. I did not actually see her hit (R5). (R5) said she did, though. (R5) said she asked (R4) to
move because she was blocking the residents trying to leave the activity. I could see (R4) was holding up
traffic coming out of church service. I took (R4) to the nurse's station for close observation. I told (V29,
Licensed Practical Nurse) the nurse. She called the Administrator ( V1, Abuse Prevention Coordinator) and
went to do a did skin check on (R5). I know (R20)'s (V26, Family Member) was pushing (R20's) wheelchair
and saw the altercation too. (R5) is alert and oriented. She can tell you exactly what happened. (R4) is
mostly confused. She can carry on a conversation but as far as recollecting anything, I am sure she can't.
(R4) has a lot of paranoia. She often tells other people, including (R5) to quit talking about her. Other than
brief remarks, I have never seen either of them get physical. That day was a first, and I believe (R4) did hit
(R5).On 9/5/25 at 12:05 pm V1, Administrator/Abuse prevention Coordinator reviewed R4 and R5 abuse
allegation investigation documented above and confirmed R4 intentional hit R5 with a book.3.) R11's

Coordinator reviewed R9 and R13's abuse allegation investigation documented above and confirmed R9
intentional made contact with R13's arm.The facility policy Abuse prevention and Reporting-Illinois dated
09/2024 documents the following: Guidelines:This facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from
abuse, neglect, exploitation,misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff or
mistreatment. This facilitytherefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and
mistreatment ofresidents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and
residentsecure environment. The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within
itscontrol to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivationof
goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents.The same policy documents:Definitions: Abuse:
Abuse means any physical or mental injury or sexual assault inflicted upon a resident other than by
accidental means. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or
punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish to a resident. This also includes the
deprivation by an individual, including a caretaker, of goods or services that are necessary to attain and/or
maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. This assumes that all instances of abuse of
residents, even those in a coma, cause physical harm or pain or mental anguish. The term willful in the
definition of abuse means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have
intended to inflict injury or harm. An example of a deliberate (willful) action would be a cognitively impaired
resident who strikes out at a resident within his/her each, as opposed to a resident with a neurological
disease who has involuntary movements (e.g., muscle spasms, twitching, jerking, writhing movements) and
his/her body movements impact a resident who is nearby. Having a mental disorder or cognitive impairment
does not automatically preclude a resident from engaging in deliberate or non-accidental actions. Physical
Abuse is the infliction of injury on a resident that occurs other than by accidental means and that requires
medical attention. Physical abuse includes hitting, slapping, pinching, kicking, and controlling behavior
through corporal punishment The same policy documents: Resident-to-Resident Abuse (any type): A
resident-to-resident altercation should be reviewed as a potential situation

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 accurately encode minimum data sets for antipsychotic
medications and falls, and failed to complete the correct minimum data set for a discharged resident. These
failures affect two residents (R6 and R1) out of thirteen reviewed for minimum data sets on a sample list of
25.Findings include: 1. R6's Physician Order Sheet dated [DATE] documents R6 has a physician order to
receive the antipsychotic medication Quetiapine in a dose of 100 milligrams daily, an order initiated on
[DATE], the day of R6's admission to the facility. R6's Medication Administration Record dated for [DATE]
documents R6 received this antipsychotic medication as ordered. R6's admission Minimum Data Set, dated
[DATE] section N0450 documents R6 did not receive antipsychotic medications since admission to the
facility. This section, when coded as affirmative, serves as a prompt for further questions about required
dosage reduction attempts On [DATE] at 3:40 PM, V16, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated she was
aware R6 takes Quetiapine and must have been in a hurry to make a mistake coding the wrong section at
the bottom of the page for R6. V16 further stated she would need to submit a correction for R6's Minimum
Data Set. 2. R6's Nursing Progress Note dated [DATE] at 9:30 PM documents R6 was found on the floor of
her own room at 9:00 PM stating she had fallen off of the bed, hit her shoulder, was complaining of right
shoulder pain, and stating needed to go to the hospital. This note further documents R6 left the facility with
emergency medical technicians to go to the hospital at 9:22 PM. R6's Nursing Progress Note dated [DATE]
at 2:58 AM documents R6 had returned to the facility from the hospital with a diagnosis of a right humerus
fracture which was immobilized. R6's Care Plan for a focus area of ADL (activities of daily living) self-care
deficit dated as initiated [DATE] documents R6's right shoulder fracture as a contributing factor. The facility's
Fall Investigation Report dated as initiated [DATE] with an initial report to IDPH [DATE] and final report
dated [DATE], includes R6's Nursing Progress Notes from [DATE] and [DATE], R6's Care Plan revisions,
and x-ray reports documenting a displaced fractured right humerus. R6's admission Minimum Data Set,
dated [DATE] section J1800 and J1900 documents R6 had experienced 1 fall with an injury that was not a
major injury since her admission to the facility. Section J1900 clarifies injuries not considered major include
skin tears, abrasions and bruises, while major injuries include fractures. On [DATE] at 3:40 PM, V16,
Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated when she coded the section for R6's falls she had obtained her
information from the facility's risk management section of the electronic medical records which listed R6's
injuries as swelling and edema and had no further revisions. V16 clarified she was aware R6 went to the
hospital but missed the part about a fracture. V16 further stated she had missed a lot of things on the
Minimum Data Set for R6 and would need to submit a correction. 3. R1's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE]
for Death in Facility documents R1 expired on [DATE] in the facility. R1's State of Illinois Certificate of Death
certified [DATE] documents R1 expired [DATE] at 9:40 PM at (local hospital). On [DATE] at 11:58 AM and
1:10 PM, V16, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, stated R1 was discharged to the hospital but was never
admitted to the hospital and so R1 was still considered to be a resident of the facility when he expired, and
that was why V16 completed a ‘Death in Facility' assessment. At 1:40 PM, V16 referenced the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services Long Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 Users
Manual dated from [DATE] (current Minimum Data Set manual) which documents (page 31) The Death in
Facility assessment must be encoded when a resident dies in the facility or while on a leave of absence.
This same manual (page 35) defines a leave of absence to include, IF the resident was in a hospital for
observation for less than 24 hours, AND the hospital does not admit the resident. This same manual (page
32) documents a Discharge Minimum Data Set must be completed If a

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0842
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed repeatedly to maintain complete and accurate
medical records for two of 14 residents (R2 and R14) reviewed for accuracy of medical records on the
sample list of 25.Findings include:
1.) R2's Physician Order Sheet dated 9/1/25 documents the following diagnosis and medication order:
Ativan (name brand), ( antianxiety- Lorazepam) Oral Tablet 0.5 MG (Milligrams), Give 0.5 mg by mouth
(PO) every 8 (eight) hours as needed (prn) for anxiety/agitation related to Anxiety Disorder, Unspecified for
14 months (inaccurate duration, exceeds the 14 day limit for prn anti-anxiety medication). Start date
07/29/25, end date of 9/26/26 (two-thousand twenty-six).
R2 ‘s Consent dated 7/29/25, is incomplete, as it does not document the duration of time for
Lorazepam 0.5 mg by mouth (PO) every 8 (eight) hours as needed (prn) for anxiety.
R2's (Private Company) Psychiatry Note dated 8/22/25 documents the following: Type of Visit: Follow-up
Visit :Chief Complaint: Per staff, patient exhibits agitation, aggression, and behavioral changes. The same
(Private Company) Psychiatry Note documents the following a current medication list with no changes to
the physician ordered Ativan ordered 7/29/25. R2's current medication list documents the same error in the
duration of Ativan prn which exceeds the 14 days. The note documents R2's Ativan PRN (as needed ) order
as follows: Lorazepam 0.5 mg PO q (every) 8 hrs (hours) PRN X (times )14 days, end dated 9/29/26
(two-thousand twenty-six). The documented Ativan order has the correct 14 day duration, but also
documents inaccurately, the end date which is incongruent with the end date of a 14 month duration.
R2's electronic Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 9/1/25- 9/30/25 continued unrevised, with
the same 7/29/25 Ativan PRN order that should have been replaced or discontinued on 8/11/25, after the
14-day required limit.
R2's MAR dated 8/1/25 – 8/31/25 documents R2 was administered one dose of Ativan 0.5 mg on
8/29/25, (18 days after R2's Ativan was due to be revised or discontinued on 8/11/15).
On 9/3/25 at 2:35 pm V2, Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed R2's electronic medical records. V2, DON
stated R2's Physician Ordered for Ativan 'was a transcription error and should have been caught before the
order went unrevised for the additional 23 days. V2 then clarified the order should not have exceeded 14
days. The documented 14 months was triggered in error. This error resulted in the wrong duration of 14
months documented throughout R2's chart ( included above) and R2's Ativan 0.5 mg dose being
administered on 8/29/25, when the Ativan should have been discontinued or revised on 8/11/25.
The facility policy “ Psychotropic Medication- Gradual Dosage Reduction” dated 04/2025
documents the following: “Purpose: To ensure that residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless
psychotropic drug therapy is necessary to treat a specific or suspected: condition as per current standards
of practice and are-prescribed at the lowest therapeutic dose to treat such conditions. The plan to
alternatives to psychotropic medication and/or use of psychotropic shall be incorporated into the care plan
with suitable goals and approaches. This will be initiated by the resident's needs/ problems, goals and
approaches as it relates to the use of psychotropic drug use.”

Residents Affected - Some
The same policy Psychotropic Medication- Gradual Dosage Reduction document: PRN (as needed)
Psychotropics: “PRN hypnotic, antianxiety or antidepressant medications shall not be used beyond
14 days unless the prescribing practitioner indicates the clinical rationale for extended use and the
expected duration for PRN use of the medication. The duration of use should not extend beyond 6 (six)

2. R14's Hospital Progress Notes dated for 8/9/25 through 8/25/25 documents R14 had experienced a
urinary tract infection from the multi-drug resistant bacteria Klebsiella. These progress notes document R14
was simultaneously experiencing sepsis and a bacterial infection of his left knee hardware, all treated with
the intravenous antibiotics Cefepime and Ceftriaxone.
R14's Hospital Discharge Orders dated 6/26/25 document R14 was to continue the intravenous antibiotic
Ceftriaxone daily beginning on 8/27/25, the day after R14's return to the facility as R14 had received a dose
for 8/26/25 at the hospital.
R14's Medication Administration Record dated for August 2025 does not document administration of
Ceftriaxone to R14 on 8/27/25, 8/28/25, and 8/29/25. This lack of administration was noted as blank spaces
where the administering nurse should place their initials when the medication was administered.
On 9/3/25 at 9:40 AM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated he was the administering nurse as the intravenous
medications are administered by a Registered Nurse. V2 stated he did administer the intravenous antibiotic
and did not go into R14's record to document the administration.
R14's Medication Administration Record dated for September 2025 did not document the administration of
R14's intravenous antibiotic Ceftriaxone for 9/3/25, leaving R14's antibiotic administrations undocumented
for a total of 4 out of 7 days between 8/27/25 through 9/3/25.
On 9/5/25 at 1:45 PM, V2 again stated he had administered R14's intravenous antibiotic on 9/3/25 and had
not gone into R14's record to document the administration.
