Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record interview, the facility failed to follow their own policy of
completing self-administration review, getting a physician' order to self-administer, and completing a
careplan when initiating self-administration of medication. This failure affected 3 (R13, R66, and R84)
residents reviewed for self-administration of medication and has the potential to affect all residents on the
2nd floor.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The (01/13/2025) facility census indicated that there were 41 residents on the 2nd floor.
On 01/13/25 at 11:03 AM with V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA), there was an inhaler on top of R66's
bedside table. R66 stated that's mine. My doctor gave it to me a long time ago. I am taking it by myself. The
staff did not teach me how to take it. V12 checked the inhaler and stated there is no label. V12 showed this
surveyor the inhaler which read Albuterol Sulfate HFA and the counter at the back of the inhaler indicated
there were 127 doses left in the inhaler.
On 01/13/25 at 11:11 AM, there was an inhaler and a bottle of Iron on R84's window ledge. R84 stated
sometimes when I go out of my room and come back, I am out of breath. I use the inhaler when it happens.
On 01/13/2025 at 11:20am, this observation was pointed out to V11 (Registered Nurse/RN). V11 checked
R84's medications and stated there's 190 doses left in the inhaler and the Iron is 65mg (milligrams) per
tablet. V11 informed R84 he could not have medications at bedside, that she would put a label with his
name and keep the medications in the med cart for safe keeping.
On 01/13/2025 at 11:28am inside R66's room, V11 checked R66's inhaler and stated there's 127 doses left
in the inhaler. V11 informed R66 she would label the inhaler and keep the medication in the medication cart
for safekeeping.
On 01/13/25 at 12:03 PM inside R13's room with V8 (Infection Preventionist), there was a nasal spray bottle
in R13's chest pocket. R13 stated it's my medicine. This surveyor requested V8 to check for the name of the
medication. V8 stated this is nasal spray. The resident should not have this medicine at bedside because
we need to get an order from the doctor and the doctor needs to determine if the resident understands how
to and when to use the nasal spray. I am going to give the nasal spray to his nurse.
On 01/15/2025 at 11:49am, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the resident has the right to self-administer
medication if appropriate; cognitively and physically can self-administer. Cognitively meaning

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a home-like environment by not
replacing missing window coverings which affected one resident (R51) reviewed in the total sample of 64
residents.
Findings include:
On 1/13/25 at 11:20 AM, R51 observed sitting in black recliner-type chair in room, close to windows on the
outside facing wall. The sun coming in the room from one (left window when looking at the outside facing
wall) of the 2 windows is hitting R51 in the eyes when R51 is sitting forward in the chair. This surveyor
observed hanging vertical blinds on both windows with missing vertical blinds on both windows. The left
window (when facing windows) has approximated 6 inch gaps in between 5 vertical blind panels and there
is no roll down curtain hanging from the brackets at the top of the window frame. The right window (when
looking at the outside facing wall) has missing vertical blind panels, but there is a roll down curtain hanging
and is closed blocking the sun. The right window is directly above R51's bed. When asked about the sun
coming into R51's view with no full window blinds or window covering for this left sided window, R51 stated
that R51 would like some shades and sees that the vertical blind panels are missing. R51 stated, Do I have
to pay for those?
On 1/14/25 at 10:05 AM, this surveyor conducted a brief environmental tour with V32 (Maintenance
Director). This surveyor observed that R51's vertical blinds remain missing on the left facing window with no
roll down curtain behind the missing vertical blinds. When asked about the missing vertical blinds, V32
(Maintenance Director) stated that a former resident who lived in the room a few months ago pulled the
vertical blinds down. V32 stated, I (V32) was supposed to replace them. V32 confirmed with this surveyor
that there is no roller blind hanging behind the missing vertical blinds in the left facing window. When asked
R51's preference (who is standing/walking in the room) of having a cover over the window for R51's choice,
R51 said, Yes. I want that. V32 stated that V32 has a few roller blinds downstairs and that V32 needs to
hang R51's roller blind. When asked when is V32 doing rounds to check the conditions of resident
blinds/window coverings, V32 stated that V32 does rounds every day, 2 to 3 times a day, and that V32
performed resident rounds on 1/13/25. This surveyor informed V32 of 1/13/25 and 1/14/25 observations of
R51's missing window coverings. When asked the importance of having a window blind or covering for R51
to close or open, V32 stated that it would be a home-like environment for R51.
R51's admission Record documents, in part, diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus, seizures, dementia,
anxiety disorders and history of falling.
R51's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents, in part, that R51's Brief Interview for Mental

Based upon observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow policy procedures and
failed to ensure that medications were administered and/or documented within regulatory requirements for
seven of 64 residents (R30, R34, R43, R46, R48, R57, R169) in the sample.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
On 1/14/25 at 9:46am V26 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) dispensed three of R48's prescribed
medications (Azelastine, Divalproex, Levetiracetam) in a medication cup and affirmed that she was going to
administer them however they were scheduled for 8:00am administration (1.75 hours prior). Surveyor
inquired why R48's 8:00am medications were highlighted red on the EMAR (Electronic Medication
Administration Record), V26 replied It's gonna turn red cause you're late with the administration. Surveyor
inquired about the regulatory requirement for medication administration, V26 stated It's one hour before or
after, you have to give for the time that it said and affirmed its within 1 hour before or 1 hour after the
scheduled time.
On 1/14/25 at 11:37am, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated I'm (V2) helping her (V26/LPN) out with the med
pass however she (V2) was not observed dispensing and/or administering medications. V26 subsequently
approached the med cart, accessed the EMAR and 5 residents (R30, R34, R43, R57, R169) were noted to
be highlighted red. Surveyor inquired why R30, R34, R43, R57, and R169 were highlighted red on the
EMAR, V26 stated Because I haven't checked on it or didn't give em (medications). Surveyor inquired why
the 9am medications were not administered yet, V26 responded I'm not as efficient as I should be.
On 1/14/25 at 11:44am, V26 (LPN) dispensed R57's prescribed medications (Certivite, Lisinopril,
Metformin, Vitamin D3, Fish Oil, Glipizide ER) in a medication cup and affirmed that she was going to
administer them however they were scheduled for 9:00am administration (roughly 2.75 hours prior).
On 1/14/25 at 10:03am, surveyor inquired about the (2nd floor) 9am medication administration V11
(Registered Nurse) stated I'm done with that for now. Surveyor inquired why R46 was highlighted red on the
EMAR if the medication administration was completed, V11 responded These are scheduled for 8 and 9:00
but she refuses all her meds no matter what I try. Surveyor inquired about the regulatory requirement for
documenting medication administration and/or refusals, V11 replied Upon passing medication.

R56's (January 2025) printed MAR was subsequently reviewed by surveyor however wound care orders for
buttock wounds were excluded. R56's (January 2025) TAR (requested 1/13/25) was not provided by the
facility.
On 1/15/25 at 10:27am, surveyor inquired where treatment orders are supposed to be entered/transcribed
when received. V19 (Wound Care Nurse) stated For the wounds they are entered in the TAR, for any
ointments applied more than once they go on the MAR. Surveyor inquired about R56's wounds. V19
responded She (R56) has stage 2 to both the right and left buttock. Surveyor inquired if R56 has treatment
orders. V19 replied, Right now its honey alginate covered with bordered gauze [therefore the orders were
changed]. Surveyor inquired why R56's Hydrocol orders were not entered in the MAR and/or TAR. V19
stated She (R56) had an order for Hydrocolloid, so it only pops up on the TAR when its scheduled. However
R56's wound care orders also include PRN administration for dislodged dressing. Surveyor inquired what
staff are required to do if a dressing falls off. V19 responded Notify either the floor Nurse or notify me (V19)
if I'm in the building. Surveyor inquired who was responsible for wound care on Monday (1/13/25), V19
replied I was pulled Monday so floor Nurses are, but I believe the Corporate Nurse (referring to V31/Nurse
Consultant) was in the building doing some treatments as well.
The pressure injury and skin condition assessment policy states care givers are responsible for promptly
notifying the Charge Nurse of skin observations. Dressing will be checked daily for placement, cleanliness,
and signs and symptoms of infection. Physician ordered treatments shall be initialed by the staff on the
treatment administration record after each administration.
3) R22 is an [AGE] year old with diagnosis including but not limited to: Unspecified urinary incontinence,
type 2 diabetes mellitus, altered mental status, unspecified injury of head and heart disease.
On 01/13/25 at 11:15 AM during investigation, R22 was observed in bed with bed beeping. At that time,
Surveyor entered R22's room with V2 (DON/ Director of Nursing) and observed R22's air mattress
improperly plugged into the wall near R22's bed.
On 01/13/25 at 11:15 AM, Surveyor observed R22's air mattress deflated as V2 plugged the mattress back
into the outlet. At that time, V2 (DON) said that R22's LALM (Low Air Loss mattress) sometimes is
mistakenly unplugged if R22's bed is moved.
Surveyor inquired about the purpose of Low Air Loss mattress. On 01/15/25 at 10:20 AM, V19 (Wound care
nurse) said that the purpose of LALM is to help relieve pressure from the body. Surveyor asked what could
occur if R22's LALM is not used. At that time, V19 said that R22 had an unstageable wound to the sacrum
region and that the wound could worsen if a LALM is not in use as ordered.
R22's Care plan dated 01/09/25 documents, R22 has an alteration in skin integrity and is as risk for
additional worsening of skin integrity related to a pressure wound to the sacrum.
R22's Section M- Skin Conditions section of the MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 10/28/24 documents, a
pressure reducing device for bed is used as treatment for skin injury.
Facility policy titled Low Air Low Mattress documents, purpose to provide support and pressure relief to

physical therapy when I came here, I (R26) get a week here and a week there and that's it. Surveyor
inquired if restorative care is provided by staff to prevent decline in activities of daily living. R26 responded
No. Surveyor inquired if transfer assistance is provided by staff. R26 replied The CNA does that in the
morning and in the night but that's all I do. I get in the chair, sit in the chair, and go to bed that's all I do. I

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that the environment was
free from hazards for two residents (R44 and R95). This failure has the potential to affect all 39 residents on
the third-floor unit.
Findings include:
On 1/13/25 V10 (Assistant Administrator) presented a facility census of 39 residents on the third-floor unit.
On 01/13/25 Surveyor toured the facility's third-floor unit and observed residents ambulating throughout the
unit freely.
R44's face sheet shows that R44 has a diagnosis which includes but not limited to transient cerebral
ischemic attack, encounter for attention to gastrostomy, and dysphagia oral phase.
R44's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) dated 12/11/24 shows that R44 does not have a BIMS score
and documents that R44 could not recall which indicates that R44 has some cognitive impairments. During
interview with R44, R44 was able to answer yes and no to surveyor questions.
R95's face sheet shows that R95 has a diagnosis which includes but not limited pure hypercholesterolemia,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction without
residual deficits.
R95's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) dated 11/25/24 shows that R95 has a BIMS score of 13
which indicates that R95 is cognitively intact.
On 01/13/25 at 11:07 am, Surveyor observed a clear cup with a thick, gold liquid on top of R44's sink visible
from the hallway while walking pass R44's room. Surveyor questioned R44 regarding the yellow substance
and R44 was not able to tell Surveyor what the gold substance in the clear cup on R44's sink was. At 11:09
am, Surveyor brought this observation to V18 (Certified Nursing Assistant, CNA) and V18 stated, I (V18)
believe that is soap. I didn't put that there. I believe that's the color of the soap from the shower room
pumps. When V18 was asked what could happen if a resident takes the cup with the gold liquid from R44's
room and V18 stated, They can drink it and it can be bad for them.
On 01/13/25 at 11:12 am, Surveyor observed 3 razors on R95's nightstand visible from the hallway. R95
stated that staff gives R95's razors to shave. When R95 asked how does R95 dispose of razors given to
R95, R95 stated that R95 throws the razors in the garbage when R95 is finish using the razors.
On 01/14/25 at 10:23 am, Surveyor observed 3 razors remain on R95's nightstand. Surveyor brought this
observation to V27 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) and asked V27 the facility's policy for residents having
razors. V27 stated, I (V27) don't know the policy. When Surveyor questioned V27 what could happen to
razors left in the residents rooms and V27 stated, Another resident can come in the room, use the razor, or
use the razor inappropriately. When V27 was asked regarding if residents are allowed to shave themselves
and V27 stated, Yes, with supervision and the razor should be discarded in the sharps container once the
resident is done.

On 1/15/25 at 10:27am, surveyor inquired where treatment orders are supposed to be entered/transcribed
when received. V19 (Wound Care Nurse) stated For the wounds they are entered in the TAR, for any
ointments applied more than once they go on the MAR. Surveyor inquired about R56's wounds. V19
responded She (R56) has stage 2 to both the right and left buttock. Surveyor inquired if R56 has treatment
orders V19 replied Right now its honey alginate covered with bordered gauze [therefore the orders were
changed]. Surveyor inquired why R56's Hydrocol orders were not entered in the MAR and/or TAR. V19
stated She (R56) had an order for Hydrocolloid, so it only pops up on the TAR when its scheduled however
R56's wound care orders also include PRN (as needed) administration for dislodged dressing. Surveyor
inquired what staff are required to do if a dressing falls off. V19 responded Notify either the floor Nurse or
notify me (V19) if I'm in the building. Surveyor inquired who was responsible for wound care on Monday
(1/13/25) V19 replied I was pulled Monday, so floor Nurses but I believe the Corporate Nurse (referring to
V31/Nurse Consultant) was in the building doing some treatments as well. Surveyor inquired why V31
administered treatments on 1/13/25. V19 stated She's (V31) a Nurse so when she comes to the building
and sees were (facility) short, she assists as needed. Surveyor inquired when V19 was last pulled to work
the floor (prior to 1/13/25). V19 responded I know it was sometime last week and affirmed that she (V19) is
the only Wound Care Nurse employed by the facility. Surveyor inquired if 3 CNAs (assigned to 3rd floor) is
adequate staffing considering acuity of the residents. V19 stated As a previous CNA it's a lot of work. The
patients to CNA ratio it's a bit more than, I don't know. Some (residents) need more assistance than others I
think I had 39 residents (on 1/13/25) nobody (referring to the residents) does everything for themselves.
The (1/13/25) Nursing Daily Staffing Sheet affirms the following: 11 (dayshift) CNAs were scheduled
however 1 called off, 1 needs doctor note, and 1 left at 9am. The facility timecard report affirms that 9 out of
9 CNAs (that arrived at the facility) clocked in late (after 6am), 3 of them were roughly 45 minutes late. V16
(Restorative Aide) was also scheduled however her timecard report affirms that she was Tardy clocked in at
8:03am (roughly 2 hours late). 3 Nurses and 1 Nurse Orientee were also on the schedule however V19
(Wound Care Nurse) clocked in at 6:53am (roughly 1 hour late) per timecard report.
On 1/15/25 at 11:53am, surveyor inquired if the facility uses agency staff. V35 (Staffing Coordinator) stated
I'm not using agency, we don't use agency here. I (V35) did talk to the DON (Director of Nursing) about it.
Surveyor inquired about the (1/13/25) dayshift staffing. V35 responded On Monday, we had one CNA call
off and then we had to take another CNA off the schedule cause she did not provide a doctor's note until
Tuesday and affirmed that one CNA left early (9am). Surveyor inquired who was pulled (1/13/25) from their
assigned duties to work on the unit. V35 replied We had (V37's name) the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Nurse,
(V19's name) the Wound Care Nurse, and (V16's name) the Restorative Aide work the floor. I tried getting
other Nurses to work, I was not able. Mondays and Wednesdays were (facility) short on Nurses, we don't
have any. We've been pulling staff for a little bit more than 2 or 3 months, it's been hard. Surveyor inquired if
V11 (RN) and V21 (Nurse Orientee) were the only scheduled Nurses (on 1/13/25) if V19 and V37 (from
other departments) were pulled to work the floor V35 stated Yes.
On 1/15/25 at 12:05pm, V10 (Assistant Administrator) affirmed that the facility has a contract with an
external agency however they (facility) are not using agency staff.
On 1/15/25 at 12:09pm, surveyor inquired about the facility restorative staff. V34 (Restorative Nurse) stated
I (V34) have 2 restorative aides (V36's name) and (V16's name) that's it. Surveyor inquired if V34 gets
pulled to work on the unit when there's a shortage of staff in the facility. V34 responded Yes, I (V34) actually

pulled roughly twice a week sometimes 3 times a week and whatever weekend I pick I'm on the floor. When
they (facility) want me to get my restorative work done and work the floor it's a lot. Surveyor inquired if the
restorative aides are also pulled to work on the unit when there's a facility staff shortage. V34 replied Yes,
it's probably more often, it depends on how many call-offs they (facility) have. That's why I left because were
(restorative staff) all being pulled every week. Surveyor inquired who's providing range of motion for
residents requiring services when restorative staff are assigned to other duties. V34 replied We try to get

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure staff performed hand
hygiene when entering the kitchen, failed to ensure food storage temperatures were monitored, failed to
ensure staff hair was fully covered, failed to label food upon opening, failed to ensure the solution used for
the sanitation sink was checked, failed to ensure the kitchen drain was not clogged, and failed to ensure
paint on the kitchen ceiling was not disintegrating in an effort to prevent foodborne illness. These failures
have the potential to affect all 111 residents receiving oral nutrition at the facility.
Findings include:
The (01/13/2025) facility census was 114.
The (01/14/2025) email correspondence with V10 (Assistant Administrator) documented that there were 3
residents not taking oral nutrition at the facility.
On 01/13/2025 at 9:28am, V3 (Administrator in Training) was inside the Kitchen. This surveyor inquired with
V3 where the hand washing facility is in the kitchen. V3 stated I don't know. This surveyor inquired if V3
washed his hands when he entered the kitchen. V3 stated no, I am training.
On 01/13/2025 at 9:30am during the initial tour of the Kitchen with V4 (Dietary Supervisor), observed the

entries). The purpose of checking the temperatures is to make sure the food is stored in appropriate
temperature.
On 01/13/2025 at 9:42am, V4 stated he (V6) is wearing a chef's beanie and the back of his (V6) head was
not covered. Our expectation is for the staff to fully cover their hair to prevent the hair getting into the food of
our residents to prevent cross contamination of pathogens.
On 01/14/2025 at 9:59am, V4 stated the staff are expected to label the milk container with open date and
use-by-date to prevent the residents from getting sick and to ensure food items are fresh.
On 01/14/2025 at 10:03am, The (01/2025) POTS and PANS Sanitization Log had missing entries on 1/3
Breakfast and Lunch; on 1/6 supper; on 1/9 supper; on 1/10 breakfast, lunch, and supper; and on 1/13
lunch. This was pointed out to V4. V4 stated our policy is to check the sanitize sink of the 3-sink
compartment 3 x a day. Staff fill the 'sanitize' sink before breakfast, before lunch, and before dinner. The
purpose of checking the solution of the 'sanitize' sink is to ensure the solution is in the correct potency to
prevent cross contamination of pathogens.
On 01/14/2025 at 12:41pm, V7 (Dietary Aide) started the Low Temp Dish machine. Within a few seconds
after V7 started the dish machine, water started to come out from a pipe connected to a tray that was
located below the dish machine, from the tray that was located below the dish machine and from the
Kitchen drain. A bucket was used to catch the water that was coming out of the tray. This surveyor inquired
how long ago the kitchen drain has had a back flow of water. V7 stated it has been like that for 3 years now.
It happens when we empty the sink and when we ran the dish machine.
On 01/14/2025 at 12:45pm, this surveyor informed V4 that water was coming out of the Kitchen drain. V4
stated the kitchen drain has been clogged since I got here. I started in June of 2024. The Kitchen drain
should not be clogged to prevent staff from slipping and falling. It is a hazard to the staff.
On 01/14/2025 at 12:56pm, the paint on the kitchen ceiling where the dish machine was located was
disintegrating. This was pointed out to V4. V4 stated that is a hazard to the staff and residents. The particles
can go inside the staff's nostril and lungs and can potentially affect the residents because this is where we
clean the dishes used by residents.
On 01/15/2025 at 10:19am with V4, V30 (Cook) donned gloves and poured cooked rice in the blender
pitcher. While waiting for the rice to achieve it desired consistency, V30 touched the table and touched his
eyeglasses. V30 opened the blender pitcher and added more rice in the pitcher. V4 stated he is not
supposed to touch the table and his eyeglasses because it breaks the barrier and can possibly transit
pathogens into the food.
On 01/15/2025 at 10:23am, this surveyor inquired if staff are required to wash their hands when entering
the Kitchen. V4 stated everyone who comes in the Kitchen should be washing their hands because hand
washing is the first line of defense against pathogens.
On 01/15/2025 at 2:41pm, V38 (Licensed Dietary Nutritionist/Registered Dietary Nutritionist) stated all
employees should wash their hands when they enter the kitchen to prevent the transmission of disease.
Even if the employee is in training, I still need them to wash their hands. I don't know what they would touch
while in the kitchen.

R11's (8/7/24) care plan states, resident is on isolation related to ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta
Lactamase). Interventions: set up isolation per facility protocol. Educate resident/family on isolation.
On 1/13/25 at 11:17am, V11 (Registered Nurse) was assigned to R11. Surveyor inquired which type of
isolation R11 requires. V11 stated He (R11) had ESBL, he's not on it no more, the sign needs to come
down. However, R11's name was noted to be on the facility isolation log (received 1/13/25).
On 1/13/25 at 11:30am, two pieces of paper were observed taped to R11's door. However they were noted
to be falling off (the top corners were not secured which caused the signs to dangle upside-down, showing
only the blank side). V17 (Chaplain) was in R11's room without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) on at
this time.
On 1/13/25 at 11:52am, surveyor inquired if R11 is currently on isolation. V8 (Infection Preventionist Nurse)
replied He (R11) is on contact isolation for ESBL of the urine. V8 subsequently approached R11's room and
stated, Unfortunately the tape that we have don't work because its hot in the building and attempted to
place the (contact isolation) signs correctly on R11's door. Surveyor advised that V17 was observed in
R11's room without PPE on. V8 responded That's a big problem cause he's (R11) on isolation.
The infection control policy states it is the policy of this facility to maintain an infection control program
designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment, and to prevent or eliminate when
possible, the development and transmission of disease and infection. Transmission Based Precautions:
additional precautions are applied when the transmission characteristic of, or impact of, infection with a
specific microorganism are not fully prevented by routine practices. Additional precautions include contact
precautions. Personal protective equipment is an essential element in preventing the transmission of
disease-causing microorganisms.

residents and another table with 3 residents including R61; R50 was seated on a geriatric chair. A bedside
table was in front of R50. V16 (Restorative Aide/CNA) handed a tray to V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant),
V12 set up the tray in front of R61. After setting up R61's tray, V12 propelled R61's wheelchair closer to the
table. V16 handed another tray to V12 and V12 took the tray without performing hand hygiene and set up
the tray in front of R50. After setting up R50's tray, this surveyor
