Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of records and interviews the facility failed to provide the right of every resident to formulate advance
directives for 2 out of 22 residents (R90 and R250) per their policy. Failures includes providing written
information on advance directives and addressing advance directives as part of planning of care. These
failures have the potential to affect 2 residents (R90 and R250) out of 46 residents in the sample.
Findings include:
During review of R90 and R250 resident's record, no documentation related advance directives were
included. V8 (Director of Social Service) was informed and stated to check for clarification.
On [DATE] at 09:33 AM, V8 stated that R90 and R250 does not have any documentation on his record
related to discussing advance directives. Per V8 as per policy advance directives should be discussed on
admission, after which it needs to be followed up within 72-hour period. V8 stated that advance directives is
very important to make sure that residents have been educated on their choices and their rights. Without
POLST form (medical order that communicates a patient's advance decisions about CPR and
life-sustaining treatment) there will be a conflict on what to do in case of emergency, because POLST form
is a legal binding document. V8 stated without a POLST form it will be hard to follow what the facility staff
will do in case of a code. Until the form is properly filled out, the resident will be considered as full code and
in case of a code and the resident does not want to be resuscitated or wants to be DNR it will be a problem.
V8 stated, It can lead to a lawsuit technically, it is a problem, legally it is a problem, when resident was
resuscitated and if they choose not to be resuscitated. That is their right.
R90 and R250 full care plan does not address advance directive.
Advance Directives policy dated 01/2020, reads:
To assure each resident is provided written information on advance directives in accordance with State
laws, including the facility's policies for implementing these requirements. Per policy, the facility shall
provide each resident written information regarding advance directives policies and applicable State laws,
informing residents of their right to accept or refuse medical and surgical treatment, and to formulate an
advance directive, if resident so choose. This procedure is done at the time of admission. The facility is
obligated to implement follow-up procedure related to advance directives. The facility needs to provide
copies of written advance directives documents by filling and uploading in the resident's clinical record. The

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to a.) ensure the portable oxygen tank
was on the correct setting, b.) ensure the oxygen tubing was stored to prevent contamination, and c.)
ensure the oxygen tubing was labeled and dated when changed. This failure has the potential to affect 1
(R37) of 2 residents reviewed for oxygen therapy.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
R37 has diagnosis not limited to Respiratory Failure, Unspecified with Hypoxia, Chronic Kidney Disease,
Stage 4, Permanent Atrial Fibrillation, Pleural Effusion, Shortness of Breath, Unilateral Primary
Osteoarthritis, Left Knee, and Hypertensive Heart Disease. R37 MDS (Minimum Data Set) BIMS (Brief
Interview for Mental Status) score is 12 indicating moderately impaired.
Physician Order Report dated 11/03/24 - 12/03/24 document in part: Oxygen: Change tubing and mask
weekly and prn (as needed) (Label). Start date 11/11/24. Oxygen: Nasal Cannula. Rate 3L/Min
(Liters/Minute) Continuous. Every shift: Days, Evenings, Nights. Start date 11/11/24.
Care Plan Problem start date 11/16/24 document in part: Problem: R37 has ineffective breathing pattern
R/T (Related to) SOB (Shortness of Breath). R37 has a diagnosis of respiratory failure, pleural effusion,
and SOB. R37 wears continuous O2.
On 12/03/24 at 11:31 AM R37 was observed sitting in a wheelchair with oxygen at 2 liters per nasal
cannula in use. R37 stated when I came back from the hospital, they put the oxygen on me. The oxygen
tubing was observed undated with no label. Oxygen nasal cannula tubing was observed laying on the
concentrator not in use and not in a storage bag.
On 12/03/24 at 12:28 PM R37 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room with oxygen at 2
liters per nasal in use. V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated the oxygen tubing is changed weekly, and we
label the tubing with tape. I didn't get a chance to label this oxygen tubing. R37 is on 3 liters of oxygen.
Surveyor asked V5 the oxygen setting on R37's portable oxygen tank. V5 stated it is on 3 liters now, it was
on 2 liters, and I just changed it. When the oxygen tubing is not in use it goes in a bag. If it is not in a bag, it
can get dirty. V5 was informed by the surveyor that R37's nasal cannula connected to the oxygen
concentrator in R37's room is not in a bag. V5 stated I am going to throw it away and get another one.
On 12/05/24 at 09:10 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated all oxygen equipment is changed every Sunday
night into Monday morning. When the oxygen tubing is changed it is labeled and we apply the oxygen as
ordered. We label the oxygen tubing and equipment with tape. The oxygen tubing is labeled and dated so
that we will know when it is change and to make sure it is changed adequately. We apply the oxygen
according to the doctor's order. The doctor order has a rate inside of the orders. If the oxygen is not on the
correct setting there is a potential that the resident has difficulty breathing, shortness of breath and is not
getting the amount of oxygen that should be delivered. When the oxygen is not in use the nasal cannula is
put in a plastic bag to keep it clean. Oxygen tubing is changed it is signed off on the MAR (Medication
Administration Record).
On 12/05/24 at 11:18 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated we do not have a separate oxygen labeling policy.

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to discard medications not in their
original packaging, label and date a used insulin pen, store unused insulin in the refrigerator, check
medication fridge temperatures daily, store mediations in a clean fridge, and store refrigerated medications
away from food. This has the potential to affect all 48 residents receiving medications from Medication Cart
A and those residents on insulin.
Findings include:
On 12/03/2024 at 9:36 AM, surveyor reviewed facility's Medication Cart B with V4 (Nurse). V4 stated the
cart contained medications for about 48 residents. On the first fourth slot in the first drawer, there was one
loose, pink capsule not in its original packaging. On the first slot of the second drawer, there was a round,
orange pill and an oval white pill not in their original packaging. In the fourth slot of the second drawer, there
was a white oval pill not in its original packaging. In the second slot on the third drawer, there were five
loose pills not in their original packaging (two circular, white pills in different size; one oval, white pill; one
orange, circular pill; and one blue, circular pill). V4 did not know what the pills were. V4 stated the night
nurses are supposed to be the ones cleaning the medications carts.
In the insulin drawer, R72's Humalog Kwikpen did not have an open or discard date. R31's Basaglar
Kwikpen did not have an open or discard date. Label documents in part to refrigerate if not opened. R31's
Aspart Kwikpen did not have an open or discard date. Label documents in part fridge/default. At 10:06 AM,
V4 stated did not know if the insulin pens were used or not. After inspecting the solution in each pen, V4
stated that R31's Basaglar Kwikpen looked used because there was missing solution in the vial. V4 stated
the other pens were full and seemed to be unopened. V3 stated not sure why the night nurse forgot to put
the unused pens in the medication refrigerator.
At 10:09 AM, surveyor reviewed the medication storage room near the B Wing with V4. There was a sign
taped to the medication refrigerator noting there should only be medications in the refrigerator. No food is
allowed in it. When surveyor opened the medication refrigerator, there were multiple dark, sticky streaks
going down the refrigerator door. V4 did not know what the substance was. The freezer portion of the
refrigerator had a thick layer of ice build-up. Underneath the ice build-up were multiple insulin pens. V4 did
not know who was responsible for defrosting the refrigerator and how often it was done. Inside the
refrigerator there was also a brown paper bag which contained a sandwich, two snack bars, and a
beverage. V4 stated it was for R200. Staff keep the snack pack in the medication refrigerator because R200
goes to dialysis early in the morning. V4 stated there are no other accessible refrigerator to keep it separate
from the medications.
At 10:12 AM, V5 (Nurse) stated the night shift nurses are supposed to clean the medication refrigerator. V5
was not sure what day of the week they do it. V5 did not know what the sticky residue was inside the
medication refrigerator.
At 10:54 AM, V4 stated the night shift nurses are also supposed to check the temperature of the medication
refrigerator daily. Reviewed facility's temperature logs for the medication refrigerator. Multiple missing
entries from September, October, and November.

done by V10.
Water Management Program dated 10/01/2017, reads: It is the policy of this facility to establish procedures
to reduce risk of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens (e.g. Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter,
Burkholderia, Stenotrophormonas, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and fungi) in the facility's water systems.
The maintenance director will maintain documentation that describes the facility's water system. A risk
assessment of water system components will be conducted to identify where Legionella and other
opportunistic waterborne pathogens could grow and spread in the facility's water system.
CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) Requirement to Reduce Legionella Risk in Healthcare
Facility Water Systems to Prevent Cases and Outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease (LD) dated 07/06/2018,
reads:
Legionella Infections: The bacterium Legionella can cause a serious type of pneumonia called LD in
persons at risk. Those at risk include persons who are at least [AGE] years old, smokers, or those with
underlying medical conditions such as chronic lung disease or immunosuppression. Outbreaks have been
linked to poorly maintained water systems in buildings with large or complex water systems including
hospitals and long-term care facilities. Transmission can occur via aerosols from devices such as
showerheads, cooling towers, hot tubs, and decorative fountains.
o Facility Requirements to Prevent Legionella Infections: Facilities must develop and adhere to policies and
procedures that inhibit microbial growth in building water systems that reduce the risk of growth and spread
of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in water.
o This policy memorandum applies to Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) and Long-Term Care
(LTC). However, this policy memorandum is also intended to provide general awareness for all healthcare
organizations.
For skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities:
The facility must establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a
safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of
communicable diseases and infections.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and review of records the facility failed to ensure that resident room environment
was in a safe condition for 1 (R73) out of 46 residents . Failure includes detached vinyl flooring and tiles
located at entry door from the bed going to the restroom.
Findings include:
R73 is [AGE] years old with primary medical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, schizoaffective disorder,
bipolar type, difficulty in walking, lack of coordination, and dementia.
On 12/05/2024 at 11:34 AM, R73 was seen sitting on the right side of the bed with walker. R73 stated she
now uses the walker going to the toilet. In front of R73 about 4 to 5 feet was the door entrance to the
restroom/toilet. Upon looking at the flooring of the entrance to the restroom and toilet, a thin vinyl that was
detached around ¾ of the square remaining. When stepped by feet it easily slides on the floor. V11
(Certified Nursing Assistant) was informed. And upon seeing the flooring stated that it is a problem because
R73 may slip and fall. And the area is where R73 pass often because it is the entrance to the toilet. V11
said to inform maintenance to correct the problem. V10 (Maintenance Director) came and stated that staff
on the floor needs to inform maintenance by writing a ticket so that the problem can be fixed.
On 12/05/2024 at 09:52 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that R73 graduated from wheelchair to walker.
And the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) on the floor are expected that if they see the situation
(detached vinyl on the floor, similar to clutter) that put at risk for the resident they make a report to the
maintenance and address the problem.
On 12/05/2024 at 10:49 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that this issue needs the cooperation of different
departments. The CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) and the housekeeping should check on that issue.
Housekeeping is sweeping the floor every time so they can see the tiles and the floor. When the staff see
that issue, they need to write on the maintenance book for it to be addressed. If maintenance was informed,
that should have been repaired. It is a cooperation of all departments that is hazard not only to resident but
also to staff as well.
Safety Policy not dated, reads: To ensure a safe living environment for each resident. Each resident shall be
observed to identify potential risks and receive adequate supervision and assistance, including devices, to
prevent accidents. Hazardous areas will be identified. All resident areas are easily visualized or observed
by staff members.
