This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure interventions that would promote safe storage and safe selfadministration of drugs were implemented in accordance to the facility's policy and procedure affecting for one of 26 sampled residents (Resident 13). This failure had the potential to cause unauthorized residents to have access to the medications that could affect the residents' health and safety. Findings: A review of Resident 13's clinical records, indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on July 11, 2016, with diagnoses of muscle weakness (generalized), paraplegia (unable to move legs and lower body), hypertension (high blood pressure), and acute FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 207B11 Facility ID: CA240000060 If continuation sheet 2 of 78 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

A review of Resident 13's "Self Administration of Drugs" assessment, dated July 18, 2018, the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a healthcare team from different fields working together to provide the best outcomes for each resident) indicated, "The Interdisciplinary Team has determined that it is not safe for the resident to selfadminister drugs. Describe reasons: resident prefers for licensed staff to administer medications." During an observation on April 11, 2019, at 2:03 PM, in Resident 13's room, Resident 13 had a cup of pills in his left hand. Resident 13 picked up a white pill from the medicine cup and stated, "I don't know what this white pill is for." The cup of pills did not have a label indicating the type of pill or the date and time when the pills were to be administered. Resident 13 removed a bottle of gingko biloba (medication supplement to improve memory) from his drawer and took a pill and swallowed it along with the other pills in the cup. During an interview with Resident 13, on April 11, 2019, at 2:20 PM, Resident 13 stated the nurse had given him the cup of pills and left. Resident 13 further stated the facility had not provided him a place to safely store his pills. During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 8), on April 11, 2019, at 2:40 PM, LVN 8 stated she gave Resident 13 the cup of pills. LVN 8 stated she had an emergency and left Resident 13's room. She stated she forgot to go back to Resident 13's room to see if he actually took the cup of pills she prepared. She stated she did not know Resident 13 had a bottle of gingko biloba in his bedside drawer.

LVN 8 stated she should not have left the blood pressure medication and supplements unsupervised at Resident 13's bedside. LVN 8 stated, the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) had determined Resident 13 could not safely selfadminister his medications. During a record review and concurrent interview with the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN/Sup), on April 12, 2019, at 8:14 AM, the RN/Sup stated the "Self-Administration of Drugs" assessment, dated July 18, 2018, was the most recent assessment. The RN/Sup stated a plan of care had not been developed because the IDT had not determined Resident 13 was safe to self-administer his medications. The RN/Sup further stated there was no physician order indicating which drugs Resident 13 could self-administer. The RN/Sup stated the medication should not have been left at Resident 13's bedside. The facility policy and procedure titled "Policy and Procedure on Self-Administration of Drugs" dated October 2014, indicated Policy: It shall be this facility's policy to assess resident upon admission or readmission to determine if resident wants to self-administer drugs and if resident can safely self-administer. Procedure: 4. If resident requests to self-administer drugs and members of the Interdisciplinary Team considers resident having the ability to safely self-administer drugs, then a physician order reflecting which drugs or medications a resident may self-administer shall be obtained.

F641 05/15/2019 §483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments. The assessment must accurately reflect the resident's status. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident care assessment tool) for three of 26 sampled residents (Resident 7, 34 and 79) when: 1. For Resident 7, the MDS assessment dated January 5, 2019, was not coded to include left side hemiplegia (paralysis-unable to move one side of the body) or left side hemiparesis (weakness affecting one side of the body).

Resident 34's MDS dated February 26, 2019, inaccurately indicated the resident had a foley catheter (a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine). 3. Resident 79's MDS dated March 29, 2019, inaccurately indicated the resident was taking an anticoagulant medication (medication used to prevent the formation of blood clots and maintain open blood vessels.) These failures in MDS coding had the potential to result in unmet care needs for Residents 7, 34 and 79, which could potentially jeopardize their health and safety. Findings: 1. During a review of the clinical record for Resident 7, the "Record of Admission (demographic and medical information)" indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on July 18, 2017, with diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction (stroke-blockage or narrowing of blood flow in the brain) affecting non-dominate side, hypertension (high blood pressure), and syncope and collapse (fainting). During a review of Resident 7's "Interdisciplinary Team Conference Notes (IDTa healthcare team from different fields working together to provide the best outcomes for each resident)", dated January 9, 2019, indicated the IDT had conducted a bedside conference with Resident 7, and had discussed the plan of care regarding Resident 7's "CVA and left sided weakness." During an observation on April 8, 2019, at 10:03 AM, in the smoking area, Resident 7 was sitting in a wheelchair smoking a cigarette.

Resident 7 placed the cigarette between her lips and propelled the wheelchair with her right hand closer to an ashtray. Resident 7's left hand remained positioned on her lap. Resident 7 removed the cigarette from her lips with her right hand and dropped the cigarette into the ashtray. During a record review and concurrent interview with the MDS coordinator (MDS 1), on April 8, 2019, at 10:32 AM, MDS 1 reviewed the MDS Quarterly Assessment, dated January 5, 2019, under "Section I (Active Diagnoses)", and stated the MDS assessment was not coded for hemiplegia or hemiparesis during the MDS process. MDS 1 stated the MDS assessment should have been coded for hemiplegia and hemiparesis to reflect Resident 7's hemiplegia and left sided weakness. During an observation on April 9, 2019, at 9:45 AM, Resident 7 was sitting in a wheelchair propelling down the hall way with her right hand and right foot. Resident 7's left hand was positioned on her lap and the left foot was positioned on the foot rest of the wheelchair. During an interview with Resident 7, on April 9, 2019, at 10:05 AM, Resident 7 stated she was not able to move her left hand or left leg without assistance due to a stroke and a hip injury. During a record review and concurrent interview with the physical therapist (PT 1), on April 9, 2019, at 11:30 AM, PT 1 reviewed Resident 7's "Rehabilitation Case Management Assessment" dated April 11, 2018, and stated she had completed the assessment last year on April 11, 2018.

A review of the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) ADL (activities of daily living) Tracking Form (a form used to track daily activities such as toileting, bathing and eating), dated January and February 2019, indicated the resident did not have a foley catheter. During record review and concurrent interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), on April 11, 2019, at 11:48 AM, the ADON stated she was familiar with Resident 34 and the resident did not have a foley catheter for the last three months. The ADON reviewed the clinical record for the resident and was unable to find a current MD order for a foley catheter. She stated the last foley catheter was discontinued in December 2018. The ADON also reviewed the CNA-ADL Tracking Form for January and February 2019, and stated the documents indicated the resident did not have a catheter and the MDS dated February, 26, 2019, was incorrect.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement a revised comprehensive person-centered care plan (an individualized plan of care written for residents to guide staff in implementing interventions for identified concerns) to prevent further low blood sugar events for one of 26 sampled residents (Resident 82). This failure resulted in no documented interventions to prevent an avoidable low blood sugar event which resulted in a peripheral intravenous (IV-within the vein) access site inserted below the arteriovenous fistula (a surgical access site formed by the joining of a vein and an artery in the arm) on the left arm for hemodialysis (a process of purifying the blood whose kidneys are not working normally). Resident 82 received a second dose of Dextrose 50 % (percentage) through an IVP (intravenous push- a bolus of fluid through an IV line, administered all at once) for neurological impairment, altered level of consciousness, inability to swallow oral glucose, and cold and clammy skin. Findings: During a review of the clinical record for Resident 82, the "Record of Admission (demographic and medical information)" indicated Resident 82 was admitted to the facility on March 18, 2019, with diagnoses of diabetes mellitus (abnormal blood sugar/glucose control) with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), end stage renal disease (kidney disease), dependence on renal dialysis (machine-artificial kidneys to purifying the blood), and difficulty in walking.

Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure treatment and services were provided in accordance to the facility's policy and procedure for two of 26 sampled residents (Residents 7 and 86) when: 1. For Resident 7, a smoking protective apron and supervision was not provided when the quarterly smoking assessment and care plan indicated Resident 7 could not safely light and hold a cigarette in her left hand due to hemiplegia (unable to move one side of the body). These failures placed Resident 7 at a greater risk for injury, such as skin burns. 2. For Resident 86, Restorative Nursing Services (RNA) was not provided in accordance to the physician's order. This failure had the potential to worsen Resident 86's hand contractures (abnormal stiffness) that could negatively affect Resident 86's highest practicable level of health and well-being.

The residue had a shiny, slimy appearance and wiped off easily with a paper towel. Water that could be frozen into ice came into contact with the pink and black slimy residue. The plastic cover that fit over the evaporator plate also had brownish, orange residue on the inside surface that faced the evaporator plate. The residue came off when it was rubbed with a paper towel. MS confirmed there was residue on the evaporator plate cover and on the plastic surrounding the evaporator plate and stated he did not consider the ice machine clean and that it probably needed to be cleaned more often. He also stated this was how the ice machine looked, with black and pink slimy residue, before regular scheduled cleanings of the machine and stated "it gets worse closer to the cleaning time". According to the 2017 Federal Food Code, equipment food-contact surfaces shall be kept clean to sight and nonfood-contact surfaces shall be kept free of an accumulation of debris.
