Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain the call light within access
for one resident. This applies to 1 resident (R130) reviewed for accommodation of needs in a sample of 30.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 2/18/25 at 1:13 PM, R130 was observed sitting on the side of his bed with his pants half falling off his
hips and his brief sticking out of his pants. R130s call button was noted to be draped over the side of his
wheelchair and out of R130's reach. R130 stated, how am I supposed to get this without falling down. R130
added that the nurse had been in the room to give him medications and did not give him the call button.
R130 stated that 75% of the time the staff does not give him the call button. R130 also stated that he fell on
February 12, 2025 because his button was not in reach and he was reaching for it.
R130's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/13/25 shows his cognition is intact and R130 needs
substantial/maximal assistance for personal hygiene. R130's care plan dated 1/7/2025 documents that
R130 is at risk for falls and interventions include keeping the call light within reach and encouraging the
resident to use the call light for assistance as needed.
On 2/18/2025, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that when staff leave a room the call light should be placed
within the resident's reach. V2 added that if the resident cannot reach their call light and they are not able to
call for help, they could try to transfer or toilet themselves and risk falling.

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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain accurate advanced directives in the
residents' medical records. This applies to 3 out of 4 (R27, R76, and R47) residents reviewed for advance
directives in a sample of 30.
The findings include:
1. On [DATE] at 11:15 AM, V12 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) said the facility maintained a binder with Do
Not Resuscitate (DNR) advance directive forms on top of the unit's emergency crash cart. V12 also said all
residents required a code status order in their EMRs (Electronic Medical Records) to reflect their selected
advanced directives. V12 was asked to review R27, R47, and R76's EMRs code status. V12 said R27 and
R47's EMRs showed full code orders (to be resuscitated) and R76's EMR did not show a code status order.
V12 then reviewed the DNR binder which showed R27, R47, and R76 had POLST (Practitioner Order for
Life-Sustaining Treatment) forms indicating they had selected DNR (not to be resuscitated). V12 said the
DNR binder information had to match with the resident's EMR to ensure that the staff knew how to respond
to a resident's medical emergency based on their life-sustaining wishes.
On [DATE] at 10:50 AM, V11 (Social Worker/SW) said she was responsible for assisting residents with their
POLST forms. V11 said she then provided the nursing team with a copy of the forms to ensure correct code
status orders were entered into the residents' EMRs. V11 confirmed R27, R47, and R76's POLST forms
indicating their DNR wishes were accurate.
R27's Care Plan Report showed an advance directive focus for DNR initiated on [DATE]. The care plan's
interventions included document the DNR status on the Physician's Order Sheet, Inform caregivers of the
DNR status, and Place a code/mark on the chart so it clearly identifies the DNR status.
R27's POLST (Practitioner Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment) form dated [DATE] showed R27 selected
NO CPR; Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR).
R27's Order Summary Report dated [DATE], showed an active code status order of Full Code CPR
ATTEMPT CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION dated [DATE].
2. R47's Care Plan Report showed an advance directive focus for DNR initiated on [DATE]. The care plan's
interventions included document the DNR status on the Physician's Order Sheet and Place a code/mark on
the chart so it clearly identifies the DNR status.
R47's POLST form dated [DATE] showed R47 selected NO CPR; Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR).
R47's Order Summary Report dated [DATE], showed an active code status order of Full Code CPR
ATTEMPT CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION dated [DATE].
3. R76's Care Plan Report showed an advance directive focus DNR initiated on [DATE]. The care plan's
interventions included Document the DNR status on the Physician's Order Sheet and Inform caregivers of
the DNR status.

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on the
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the POA (Power of Attorney), physician, and hospice
provider in a timely manner before transferring R131 to the hospital for evaluation after a fall incident. This
applies to 1 of 2 hospice residents (R131) who were reviewed for significant change in condition and
hospitalization in a sample of 30.
Findings include:
On 02/18/2025 at 10:31 AM with V15 (Registered Nurse/RN), R131 was observed with a skin tear on the
left elbow. V15 said R131 had a fall on 02/17/2025 and went to the hospital for evaluation. V15 said she was
not involved in the incident and was not aware of the details.
On 02/18/25 at 01:46 PM, V17(RN) said R131 had an unwitnessed fall, and the facility called 911 and
transferred R131 to the hospital. V17 stated she informed later the hospice provider and the physician and
forgot to notify R131's POA (Power of Attorney)
R131's Electronic Medical Records (EMR) showed R131 was admitted to hospice care on 01/30/2025 due
to cerebra vascular disease for comfort care only and diagnoses including cerebral infarction,
protein-calorie malnutrition, enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
and altered mental status. R131's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed R131 was not
interviewable and cognitively severely impaired and dependent on one to two staff assistance for activities
of daily care.
Nursing progress notes dated 02/17/2025 showed R131 had an unwitnessed fall at 12:25 PM and was
admitted to the hospital for dehydration and abnormal sodium level. The nursing progress notes from the
next shift showed that a nurse informed R131's POA regarding R131's admission to the hospital around
7:08 PM. The progress notes further indicated that the POA stated she was not aware that the patient got
sent out to the hospital and did not want R131 to be admitted , and the facility brought R131 back to the
facility.
On 02/19/2025 at 12:12 PM, V18(Registered Nurse-Hospice) said that the hospice staff received the call
regarding his change in condition around 2:45 PM. V18 said the practice is the facility notifies the fall as
soon as it is observed, and the hospice sends a nurse to evaluate the residents and notify the family of any
decision to make. V18 said R131 had an order from the hospice physician about not hospitalizing. V18
stated that the facility called her when R131 was already out to the hospital via 911 for evaluation, and she
advised the facility to notify the family.
On 02/19/25, at 10:09 AM, V2(Director of Nursing) said the appropriate parties are notified as soon as any
change in resident conditions or hospital transfer occurs.
The facility's policy, Care of Resident with a Change in Condition, revised dated 03/2020, states that after
the resident is assessed and noted to have a change in conditions, the resident's provider should be
notified for further medical intervention, and the resident's responsible party should be notified about the
change of conditions.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to safely transfer residents who required the use
of a mechanical lift. This applies to 3 out of 3 (R32, R75, R104) residents reviewed for transfers in a sample
of 30.
The findings include:
1. R104's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed his diagnoses including lack of coordination,
abnormalities of gait and mobility, muscle weakness in his right lower leg, gout, epilepsy, and dementia.
R104's EMR said he required the use of a mechanical sit-to-stand machine lift for all transfers. R104's MDS
(Minimum Data Set) dated 1/30/2025 said he was dependent on facility staff for transfers.
On 2/19/2025 at 9:10 AM, V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) and V8 (CNA) said they were going to
transfer R104 from his wheelchair to the toilet. V7 said R104 required the use of the sit-to-stand mechanical
lift for transfers. V7 said R104's right lower leg was weak and required additional support. V7 and V8 then
placed R104's feet on the machine's footplate. The machine's knee pad had straps with attached belt bulk
pieces on each side. V7 said they did not have the knee belt piece attachment to secure to the machine. V7
said they were told that the additional safety knee device was not required. They then proceeded to place
and secure a red-colored belt sling around R104's torso area. V7 pulled to adjust the belt strap fully but it
was not securely fastened around R104's torso. They then hooked the sling's loops to the machine and
transferred R104 to the toilet. After assisting R104 with his toileting needs they then transferred him back to
his wheelchair. When R104 was lifted the belt remained loose not fastened securely. R104 started slightly
lowering further in his squatting position while being transferred into his wheelchair.
2. R32's EMR showed her diagnoses included loss of muscle control related to [NAME]-Sachs disease,
scoliosis of the lumbar region, lack of coordination, general muscle weakness, Charcot's joint to the right
shoulder, unsteadiness on feet, polyosteoarthritis, and neuropathy. R32's EMR said she required the use of
a mechanical sit-to-stand machine lift for all transfers. R32's MDS dated [DATE] said she was dependent on
facility staff for transfers.
On 2/19/2025 at 1:05 PM, V7 and V8 (CNAs) said they were going to transfer R32 from her wheelchair to
the toilet with the sit-to-stand mechanical lift. R32 had a black sling on her right arm. R32 said she used the
sling for additional support because her arm was weak. They placed R32's feet on the machine's footplate.
The machine's knee pad had slots on each side for attaching a knee belt but did not have belt straps
attached. V7 placed and secured the same prior used (with R104's AM transfer) red-colored belt sling
around R32's torso area. V7 pulled on the belt strap fully to adjust it but it was not too big and not fastened
securely around R32's torso. They proceeded with R32's transfer when another staff member handed V7
another belt sling of a smaller size. After assisting R32 with her toileting needs they then transferred her
back to her wheelchair. R32's belt sling remained loose despite V7 again attempting to fully pull on the belt
to fasten it. V7 said the belt sling used for R32 was too loose. After the transfer, R32's belt sling was
inspected with V7, and it did not have the manufacturer's tag attached indicating the size and said she
believed that was a large size. V7 said that they determined the belt sling size based on the residents'
posterior torso width. V7 said they had other belt sizes available including small and medium and were not
specific to the machine's manufacturing product. V7 said both R32 and R104 required the use of a medium
size belt slings

3. R75's EMR showed her diagnoses included left-side hemiplegia, hand contractures, dystonia (involuntary
muscle contractures), abnormalities of gait and mobility, and muscle weakness. R75's EMR said she
required the use of a mechanical sit-to-stand machine lift for all transfers. R75's MDS dated [DATE] said
she was dependent on facility staff for transfers.
Residents Affected - Few
On 2/19/2025 at 9:35 AM, V9 (Restorative Aide) and V10 (CNA) said they were going to transfer R75 from
her wheelchair to the toilet with the sit-to-stand mechanical lift. V9 said the machine was a rental without a
knee belt attached. They placed R75's feet on the footplate and a belt sling around her torso. They then
hooked the sling's loops to the machine and instructed R75 to hold on to the machine. R75's left hand was
contracted and was unable to grip onto the machine's handlebar, she placed her hand over it. V9 pulled on
the belt strap fully to adjust it but it was still too loose and not fastened securely around R75's torso. They
proceed to transfer R75 to the toilet.
On 2/20/2025 at 9:50 AM, V9 said the facility had different belt sling sizes and R75's size was probably
medium. V9 said belt sizes were based on the resident's chest size, and when the belt is fastened it should
not be too loose nor too tight. V9 was asked to inspect the belt sling used on R75 (during her AM transfer
observation on 2/19/2025). V9 was unable to determine the size of the belt sling because it did not have the
manufacturer's tag attached indicating the size.
On 2/19/2025 at 1:20 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) was asked to inspect R104's used sit-to-stand
mechanical lift machine. V2 said that based on the knee pad's attached belt straps the machine most likely
required the use of the knee belt but was unsure if the machine was purchased with it. Then V2 was asked
to inspect the machines used for R32 and R75 transfers, V2 said she was not sure if those machines
required the use of the belt knee belt attachment device. V2 was also asked to inspect the belt slings used
for R104, R32, and R75. She was unable to determine the size of the slings. V2 said she was unsure how
the staff determined or knew which size belt sling to use for the residents. V2 said the facility used universal
belt slings that could be used for all the facility's lift machines, including their rental machine.
On 2/19/25 at 3:20 PM, V2 said she interviewed the staff and confirmed that they were instructed by V13
(Risk Manager Consultant) that the use of knee belts was not needed because they did not assist in

said they reviewed the machine's manufacturing instructions, and determined their use was not required
only recommended, and if decided to be used they would need to be ordered. V2 also said she expected
the staff to use their best judgment when determining which size of belt slings to use.
On 2/20/2025 at 10:15 AM, V13 (Risk Manager Consultant) said she was employed by an outside
insurance company that provided employee safety education including on how to safely transfer residents.
V13 said her company did not maintain the facility's transfer equipment. V13 said she was not familiar with
the facility's mechanical lift machines. V13 said she provided the facility's staff with directions on how to use
lift transfer machines and instructed them that knee belts were optional but not required. V13 said knee
strap belts could be used for residents who require extra security with transfers for example those who have
lower leg weakness. V13 said the facility had to individually assess residents who may require the

The findings include:
On 2/19/2025 at 8:15 AM during medication administration, V16 (Registered Nurse/RN) said she was going
to administer R92's scheduled antihypertensive medication, Diltiazem ER (extended-release) 120 mg
(milligrams) one tablet. V16 crushed and mixed R92's Diltiazem ER tablet with applesauce. V16 then
administered R92's medication orally.
On 2/19/2025 at 11:00 AM, V14 (Pharmacist) said R92's Diltiazem ER was an antihypertensive medication
to lower the blood pressure. V14 said the tablet should have not been crushed because it lost its
extended-release properties, and the dosage would have been absorbed quicker in the body. V14 also said
the medication was listed in the Do Not Crush list which was provided to the facility.
R92's Order Summary Report dated 2/19/2025 showed an order for diTIAZem HCI ER Oral Tablet
Extended Release 24 Hour 120 MG (Diltiazem HCI) Give 1 tablet by mouth in the morning related to

improve ease of administration, but some shouldn't be crushed. Crushing extended-release meds can
result in administration of a large dose all at once. The document listed Diltiazem as a medication that
should not be crushed.
The facility's policy titled Administering Medications dated 03/2020, said Policy Statement Medications shall
be administered in a safe and timely manner and as prescribed.
