R21's Care Plan dated 12/23/25 documents that the resident is at risk for falls related to a history of falls.
Interventions include frequent checks on the resident (initiated 12/21/25) and increased supervision during
mealtimes (initiated 11/26/25).
On 2/10/26 at 10:09 a.m., V8, CNA, stated R21 is confused and has to be monitored very closely and
checked at least every 15 minutes if not more.
On February 10, 2026, at 10:58 a.m., V25, CNA, stated that she was aware of R21's fall but was unsure
whether she was working at the facility when the incident occurred. During the same interview, V25
confirmed that R21 requires monitoring at least every 15 minutes, or more frequently as needed. V25
explained that staff are expected to maintain continuous observation of R21 to ensure her safety. She
further stated that staff on the Hall, where R21 resides, make efforts to keep R21 in close proximity to staff
at all times, either at the nurse's station with nurses and CNAs or engaged in activities.
On 2/10/26 at 11:09 a.m., V26 CNA stated she was not present when R21 fell on 1/19/26, as she left at
6:00 p.m. that day and most residents were still in the dining room. V26 confirmed that R21 was at the
dining room table when she left. V26 stated she was later informed that R21 and another resident were in
the dining room when R21 got up and attempted to sweep the floor. V26 stated R21 is always confused and
requires constant supervision, stating, If I'm going to be honest, staff always have to keep a very close eye
on (R21), but sometimes that is very difficult to do when caring for all the other residents too. V26 stated
that R21 is able to stand independently and is mobile but very unstable when up.
On 2/10/26 at 11:45 a.m., R41 stated he was in the dining room with R21 when she fell. R41 stated that
R21 was in her wheelchair, grabbed a broom, and began sweeping. R41 further stated that R21 then got
out of her wheelchair and continued sweeping. R41 stated he turned his back for just a second, and when
he did, R21 fell. R41 stated there were no staff in the dining room at the time of the fall, only himself and
another resident who is cognitively impaired (name unknown). R41 stated staff had not been in the dining
room that evening for quite some time and that R21 is often left on her own. R41 added that other residents
frequently have to look after R21 and remind her to sit down. R41's MDS dated [DATE] documents a BIMS
(Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 14, indicating R41 is cognitively intact.
On 2/10/26 at 9:59 a.m., V15, Registered Nurse (RN), stated that R21 falls frequently and that her Care
Plan documents the need for close attention from staff. V15 reported there is no specific time frame for
frequent checks, but staff are expected to keep an eye on R21. V15 added that if she were working on the
floor, R21 would remain with her at all times because she requires one-on-one supervision. V15 also stated
she is unsure why R21's Care Plan includes an intervention for increased supervision in the dining room
during mealtimes.
On 02/10/2026 at 2:36 p.m., V14, Regional Nurse Consultant/Interim Director of Nursing, stated there
should always be a staff member present in the dining room to provide supervision for R21 as well as other
residents. V14 explained that the timing of checks for R21 depends entirely on her behavior at the time,
confirming that there are occasions when R1 requires constant direction. V14 further stated staff should
have remained in the dining room until all residents had left.
2.) R23's MDS dated [DATE] documents that the resident is cognitively intact and has diagnoses of Multiple
Sclerosis, Demyelinating Disease of the Central Nervous System, Muscle Wasting and Atrophy

chair. V23 reported that he assisted V24 with transferring R23 into the shower chair, spotting V24 during the
mechanical lift transfer, and then left the room. V23 confirmed that the mechanical lift sling was left beneath
R23 and stated this was common practice, noting that CNAs typically provide R23's bath with assistance
from only one staff member.
On 2/11/26 at 9:25 a.m., V20 CNA stated that she works at the facility through an agency but is frequently
assigned to R23. V20 stated R23 is dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs) and confirmed
that R23 is fully aware of her surroundings, describing her as totally with it.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately transcribe an order for Seroquel
(antipsychotic), failed to administer an antiparkinsonian medication as recommended prior to meals and
failed to ensure medications were taken by the resident for three of 46 residents (R7, R83 and R44)
reviewed for medications in the sample list of 46 residents. This failure resulted in exacerbation of R7's
behavioral symptoms related to dementia when R7 missed 13 days of R7's antipsychotic due to a
transcription error. Findings Include:1.R7's Care Plan updated 11/6/25 documents the following diagnoses:
Type II Diabetes, Alzheimer's Dementia, Repeated Falls, and Major Depression.R7's Minimum Data Set
(MDS) dated [DATE] documents R7 has no behavioral symptoms.On 2/8/26 at 9:00AM R7 was in his bed
watching television (TV). The Surveyor knocked on R7's open door. R7 shouted What and who the H*** are
you. The Surveyor introduced self and identified to R7 we are here from IDPH (Illinois Department of Public
Health) to talk with residents about the care they receive at the facility. R7 seemed very agitated and
shouted Well if you are from the F******(expletive) state get me out of here now. I am being held prisoner.
That F******(expletive) B****(expletive) had them arrest me. The Florida state police went into Georgia and
arrested me and brought me to Illinois. R7 beat his fists on the bed rail and shook the bed. The Surveyor
replied she could see how upset R7 was and would let him get back to his TV. R7 became even louder and
continued to pound on the bed with his fists. R7 shouted You F******(expletive) B****(expletive) if you are
with the state why can't you get my A**(expletive) out of here and get my money back.On 2/8/26 at 3:00PM
V1, Administrator stated we are aware (R7's) behavior is escalating and he has been seen by (a contracted
psychiatric provider). V14, Corporate RN and acting DON stated (R7) is very suspicious of his POA (Power
of Attorney), he doesn't like women and his behavior related to Dementia is really increasing.R7's
Psychiatric Notes dated 12/10/25 by V17, Physician's Assistant (PA) for psychiatric contractor document an
order for: Med Changes: Patients diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder is worsening and unstable at this
visit. Increase Sertraline to 100Mg in the AM. Start Trazadone 25Mg at HS (bedtime). Start Quetiapine
25Mg PO (by mouth) every 6 hours PRN (as needed). Continue Quetiapine 50Mg (Daily) for agitation
related to Dementia. Continue Memantine 5Mg daily for cognitive decline related to Dementia.R7's
Medication Administration Record (MAR) for February and R7's current Physician's Order Sheet document
R7's Quetiapine 50Mg was discontinued in error on 1/28/26 and no PRN doses were administered.On
2/9/26 at 2:00PM V14 acting DON verified that the Quetiapine was discontinued in error and R7 had
missed doses from 1/28/26 until the surveyor brought this error to the facility's attention on 2/9/26 totaling
13 doses. On 2/10/26 at 12:30PM V17 Psychiatric PA stated It was my intention to continue (R7's) dose of
50Mg Quetiapine daily. (R7) was having increasing agitation and aggressive behavior. It is never a good
idea to stop an antipsychotic without tapering and I rarely give a PRN order for antipsychotic especially in a
senior, but I spent nearly an hour with (R7), and I really thought it was justified. I do believe that stopping
(R7's) quetiapine so abruptly caused (R7's) behavior to escalate even more.The package insert for
Seroquel revised January 2022 documents Acute withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, nausea, and
vomiting have been described after abrupt cessation of an atypical antipsychotic drugs including
Seroquel.On 2/11/26 at 1:00PM V1, Administrator and V14 Acting Director of Nurses verified R7's
behaviors including cursing, isolating, shouting, and refusal of care have increased since R7 has not
received the correct dose of Seroquel.On 2/11/26 at 2:00PM V11, Activity Director stated Since the end of
January (R7) has not come to activities at all. I have heard him in his room shouting and cursing. I was
helping pass trays on Sunday (2/8/26). I took (R7's) tray to him. He pointed at the tray table, and I placed
the tray

on it and went to get another tray. As I was walking by his room, I heard a commotion and (R7) had
knocked his tray off the table and across the room. (R7) is more agitated.2. R83's Care Plan initiated 1/7/26
documents the following diagnoses: Depressive Disorder, History of Fracture of Right Femur with Hip
Replacement, and Parkinson's Disease.R83's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R83 as
moderately cognitively impaired.On 2/8/26 at 1:00PM V43 (R83's family member) stated When (R83) was
ordered the Carbidopa/Levodopa we were told to always give it 30-60 minutes prior to food because high
protein food interferes with the absorption of the medication. It is ordered here at 5:00AM, 11:00AM, and
5:00PM. They tell me they have one hour before and one hour after to give his medication. It is sometimes
before and sometimes after and sometimes with meals and I think it's causing (R83's) Parkinson's
symptoms to get worse.R83's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for February 2026 documents
Sinemet Oral Tablet 25-100 MG (Carbidopa-Levodopa) Give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day related to
PARKINSON'S DISEASE WITH DYSKINESIA, WITH FLUCTUATIONS. The package insert for
Levodopa/Carbidopa 25/100 documents The patient should be advised that a change in diet to foods that
are high in protein may delay the absorption of levodopa and may reduce the amount taken up in
circulation. Excessive acidity also delays stomach emptying, thus delaying the absorption of levodopa. Iron
salts (such as in multivitamin tablets) may also reduce the amount of levodopa available to the body. The
above factors may reduce the clinical effectiveness of levodopa or carbidopa-levodopa therapy.On 2/9/26 at
1:30PM V13, R83's primary physician stated The timing 30-60 minutes prior to meals for (R83's) Sinemet is
crucial for absorption of this medication. If it isn't given prior to meals high protein food will compete with the
medication for absorption. If Sinemet is being given incorrectly I believe this is causing (R83's) increase in
Parkinson's symptoms.On 2/8/26 V10, Licensed Practical Nurse verified medications are given within one
hour prior or one hour after the time on the MAR. V10 stated I have 35 residents to get meds out to. Have
you ever had to do that?On 2/9/26 at 2:15PM V14, Acting DON (Director of Nursing) confirmed R83's
medication had been given without regard to meals.3. R44's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE]
documents R44 is cognitively intact. On 2/10/26 at 10:00AM R44 stated Sunday evening (2/8/26) the
agency nurse that was working left all my evening meds on the dresser for the empty bed next to me. I
didn't remember I hadn't taken them until (V28), Activity Assistant found them the next day. I missed all my
evening meds.R44's MAR documents the medications due at 8:00PM include the following: Amlodipine
(antihypertensive) 5Mg twice daily, Atorvastatin (anticholesterol) 40mg at bedtime daily,Lisinopril
(antihypertensive) 40 mg at bedtime daily, Senna (laxative) 8.6 mg two tablets at bedtime daily, Eliquis
(anticoagulant) 5 mg twice daily, Famotidine (pump inhibitor) 20mg twice daily, Keppra (Antiseizure)
1000mg twice daily, Metoprolol (Beta Blocker) 37.5 mg twice daily.On 2/10/26 at 11:00AM V14, Acting DON
verified V28 found R44's 8:00PM medications in a cup. V14 verified the medications were identified as all
V14's 8:00PM medications.On 2/10/26 at 11:15AM V1, Administrator verified R11 did not receive any of her
8:00PM medications on 2/8/26 as they were left in a cup sitting on the dresser by an agency nurse.The
facility's policy Physician's Orders Entering and Processing revised 1/31/18 states Following a physician's
visit, a licensed nurse will check for any orders that require confirmation under: Clinical, Orders, Pending
Orders. The orders will be confirmed by the nurse and instructions for the order will be completed.
