Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2 a.) On
05/18/25 11:58 A.M., an observation during the lunch meal service for the residents eating in their rooms
on Unit 2 noted Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #187 to be feeding Resident #36, while the resident was
in her bed. CNA #187 was standing at the side of the bed while feeding the resident. She was not noted to
be sitting in a chair at the bedside to provide the resident with a dignified dining experience.
2 b.) On 05/18/25 at 12:00 P.M., an observation during the lunch meal service for the residents eating in
their rooms on Unit 2 noted CNA #500 to be feeding Resident #57, while the resident was in her bed. CNA
#500 was standing at the side of the bed while feeding the resident. She was not noted to be sitting in a
chair at the bedside to provide the resident with a dignified dining experience.
On 05/18/25 at 12:10 P.M., an interview with CNA #187 and CNA #500 confirmed they did feed Resident
#36 and #57 in bed, while they stood at the residents' bedside. CNA #187 stated they stood while feeding
the residents because it was easier for them to feed the residents while standing. They denied they were
standing while feeding those residents for any reason that was beneficial to the residents. When asked why
they were not sitting at the side of the bed to feed the residents to promote a more dignified eating
experience, CNA #187 reported they were not trained that way to do so. They acknowledged it was
considered a dignity issue to stand over a resident while feeding them. They further acknowledged they
should be sitting in a chair beside the bed at the resident's eye level to promote a more dignified dining
experience. CNA #187 was noted to leave Unit 2 returning a short time later with a folding chair. She
provided the folding chair to CNA #500, so CNA #500 could continue to assist Resident #57 with her meal
while in a seated position.
Review of the facility's policy on Meal Service updated 05/01/25 revealed it was the facility's policy to serve
nutritional meals promptly and to provide meal assistance as needed. Residents requiring feeding
assistance would be provided assistance at the time they received their meal. Staff providing assistance
would be seated next to the resident and engaging in conversation with the resident or offering cueing
during the meal.
Based on observation, interview, self reported incident review, and record review the facility failed to treat
residents in a dignified manner as evidenced by one resident being told to stay in her damn room and two
residents being assisted with their meals by Certified Nursing Assistants who were standing above them.
This affected three of six residents (#33, #36 and #57) reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 84.

1. Review of Resident #33's medical record revealed an admission date of 11/12/24 and diagnoses
including Wernicke's encephalopathy, hyperlipidemia, anxiety, major depressive disorder, and alcohol abuse
in remission.
Review of Resident #33's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of zero indicating severe cognitive impairment and wandering
behavior for one to three days of the review period. Further review revealed Resident #33 was independent
with ambulation and transfers.
Review of Resident #33's behavior plan of care revealed Resident #33 exhibited the behavioral symptoms
of verbal aggression, wandering- wandering into other resident rooms, cursing at staff, taking other
resident's food and drinks, aggravating other residents, not leaving other resident's personal items alone,
rummaging, tearful, and unplugging equipment. Interventions for Resident #33 include redirecting her from
other resident's rooms, removing her from overly stimulating situations, taking her for a walk in the facility,
and offering to take her to smoke at scheduled smoke break times.
Review of the facility self-reported incident investigation started on 02/03/25 at 6:36 P.M. revealed that on
02/03/25 at 6:00 P.M. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #307 was witnessed to have one hand on Resident
#33's back and one hand on her arm and was pushing/guiding her fast, almost like running from another
resident's room to her room across the hall. CNA #307 stated to Resident #33 stay in your damn room and
slammed the door shut. This was witnessed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #126 and CNA #309. LPN
#126 reported the incident to the administrator and CNA #307 was suspended pending investigation. A
head-to-toe assessment was completed of Resident #33 and no concerns were noted. Resident #33 did
not remember the incident and did not appear to have any harm or distress.
Observation of Resident #33 throughout the survey revealed the resident was moving about the secure unit
and interacting with the facility staff and her peers. Resident #33 showed no signs of fear or distress.
In an interview on 05/20/25 at 2:12 P.M. LPN #126 stated on 02/03/25 she was working on the secure unit
and had stepped off the unit to fax something and was returning when she saw CNA #307 with her hand on
Resident #33's arm and her other hand on her back pushing her out of another resident's room and across
the hall to her own room. Once Resident #33 was in the room CNA #307 told the resident to stay in her
damn room. She immediately sent CNA #307 home and notified the administrator of the incident. LPN #126
assessed Resident #33 and found no physical injuries. LPN #126 stated that Resident #33 has dementia
and is not really aware of what happened and was not upset by the incident. LPN #126 stated that Resident
#33 did not change from her baseline. LPN #126 further stated that an alert resident would have been very
upset with the treatment Resident #33 received from CNA #307. LPN #126 did not feel Resident #33 was
treated with dignity and respect in the situation. She would have been upset if she was spoken to that way
or if it had been her family member who was spoken to that way. LPN #126 stated she wants the residents
she cares for to be cared for like she would want her family to be cared for.
In an interview on 05/20/25 at 2:49 P.M. Speret Hall Program Director LPN #178 revealed she did not feel
Resident #33 had been treated with dignity during the 02/03/25 incident when CNA #307 told her to stay in
her damn room. She would not have wanted to be treated that way if it was her.

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of self-reported incident (SRI), review of the facility's investigation, interviews, and policy review the
facility failed to prevent resident neglect. This affected one resident (#73) of one resident reviewed for
abuse.
Findings included:
Record review revealed Resident #73 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait and mobility, weakness, retention
of urine, right knee pain, benign prostatic hyperplasia without lower urinary tract symptoms, obstructive and
reflux uropathy, and reduced mobility.
Review of Resident #73's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident's Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was 11. The resident was dependent for toiling. He required partial to
moderate assistance for personal hygiene, dependent for sitting to lying, lying to sitting, sitting to stand,
chair to bed, toilet, and shower transfer. He required substantial/maximal assist to roll left to right. He was
always incontinent of urine and bowel. He was not on a toileting program. No rejection of care noted.
Review of Resident #73's urinary incontinence plan of care dated 05/29/24 revealed to check and provide
incontinence care as needed. Maintain dignity when checking/providing incontinence care for the resident.
Review of the facility investigation SRI #258993 revealed Resident #73 was interviewed by the
Administrator on 04/04/25. The resident reported he had trouble getting someone to answer his call light.
The first female (staff) hit the button but did not change him as asked. She said she would be right back but
never returned to his room. Another female (staff) and a co-worker changed his wet under pad sometime
around 4:00 P.M. He told the Administrator he pushed his call light three times to get help. The
Administrator asked if he had a sore bottom or butt area and the resident said no. The Nurse completed a
physical assessment on the resident with no excoriation places or pain.
Review of a handwritten sheet authored by the Administrator undated revealed Agency Certified Nursing
Aide (CNA) #303 name and phone number was on the top of the paper. The first question asked was who
she had worked with on Thursday (04/03/25), and the CNA responded CNA #102. The second question
asked was why she went in and shut the resident's call light off. The response was he (the resident) was a
two person assist. The third question was not answered. Question four asked was why did you go out to
your car for an extended amount of time. The answer was she was on the phone Grandpa- surgery.
Question five was asked why she was seen by various employees hanging out in the activity room. The
answer was a number 1. Question six was not answered.
Review of CNA #102's written statement dated 04/03/25 revealed at about 4:45 P.M., she went into
Resident #73's room, and he told her a blonde girl came into his room and shut off the call light three times
when he told her he needed to be changed. When the CNA changed his brief it nearly disintegrated and he
was brinking on a major blowout. The only blonde girl we had was the Agency CNA #303 and she was
barely doing anything all night.

Residents Affected - Few
Review of handwritten sheet authored by the Administrator undated revealed CNA #102's name and
number was on the top of the sheet of questions. CNA #102 reported the Agency CNA #303 told her she
had turned off Resident #73's call light without providing care to the resident. CNA #102 reported to
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #129 that the Agency CNA didn't do anything all night around 9:45 P.M.
She had witnessed CNA #303 loafing in the activity room for 30 minutes. There were additional comments
on the bottom of the sheet that the CNA #303 walked past call lights and went to others, took
1.5-to-two-hour break, would tell her to do things and she would give attitude. It was too late for LPN #129
to talk to her.
Review CNA #193's written statement dated 04/03/25 revealed she witnessed CNA #303 standing in the
activities room from 7:45 P.M. till 9:30 P.M., then proceeded to continue outside for 15 minutes.
Review of CNA#184's written statement dated 04/03/25 revealed CNA #303 was on Home B. There was
multiple instances of her walking past lights, walking past people yelling out the door, telling residents that
she would be back to help them and turning their lights off and then not coming back, staying in the activity
room for very long periods of time. Just overall acts of neglecting residents. We ended up leaving without all
residents in bed because we did not have the help we would expect from having another aide on staff.
Review of the Administrator's handwritten letter undated revealed CNA #184's name and number was on
top of the letter and phone number. CNA #184 reported CNA #303 had walked past Resident #73's and
#17's call light and she dropped Resident #35 hard. CNA #303 told Resident #73 she would be back. When
asked which residents were neglected there was an arrow and comment to see statement. Three residents
were left up and night shift took out the trash. The CNA reported the incident to LPN #129 and Registered
Nurse (RN) #170.
Review of the Administrator's handwritten letter undated revealed LPN #129's name and phone number
was on the top of the letter. The LPN reported that all three staff reported the incident to him around 9:45
P.M. The LPN reported he was not aware CNA #303 was walking pass call lights, and she was off the unit
most of the shift and he told her late in the shift. CNA #184 did not use the term neglect when reporting
CNA #303's poor job performance and he was unaware the staff thought it was neglect. The LPN reported
he had staff write statements but never read them and gave them to someone else to pass on to the
Administrator. The LPN never said anything to CNA #303 due to it being late in the shift and he was not
aware of the neglect.
Review of an email from the agency staffing company dated 04/04/25 at 1:06 P.M. revealed the staffing
company was thankful for the information and was going to suspend the CNA (#303).
Further review of the investigation revealed there was a copy of Resident #73's face sheet, a progress note
from 04/04/25 at 3:07 A.M. that revealed episodes of incontinence reported last night. Follow up this
morning with skin check. No areas noted. Resident stated that his bottom feels fine. Incontinence care
provided. Resident resting in recliner. Call light and fluids remain in reach. There was a follow note dated
05/07/25 that indicated a follow up from the SRI (04/04/25) regarding call light being turned off. Resident
reported there were no further issues or concerns related to his call light being turned off and he notes that
it is being answered timely. He was satisfied with resolution. Resident's wife in room and agrees.
There was no documented evidence that the additional resident mentioned in the SRI was interviewed or
assessed. There was no statement from RN #170 who staff indicated they reported the incident to

and there was no evidence residents on Home B, the unit the CNA was assigned to, were interviewed or
assessed.
Interview on 05/19/25 at 3:29 P.M. with Resident #73, revealed call lights not answered timely was still an
issue on second shift. Sometimes he has to wait up to an hour for someone to answer his call light.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 05/19/25 at 3:40 P.M., with the Administrator confirmed the surveyor had the complete
investigation for Resident 73's SRI and there was no additional information. The surveyor reviewed the
information in the folder with the Administrator. The Administrator confirmed he did not interview other
residents on the unit or residents' staff had mentioned during the investigation to ensure they were not
affected. The Administrator reported he was just focused on Resident #73 because he was upset about the
incident. The Administrator could not recall why he wrote Resident #35 was dropped hard. The Agency
CNA #303 confirmed she was outside for extended period of time but had permission due she was outside
on the phone because her grandfather had surgery. The Administrator reported that the CNA was in the
activity room watching residents play pool, however the resident didn't require supervision, and she should
have been on the floor assisting residents. The Administrator confirmed he notified the staffing agency to
ensure she was not providing care to other facility residents during the investigation.
Interview on 05/02/25 at 1:58 P.M., with Resident #73 and his daughter revealed he felt he was neglected
when the agency staff member left him in a saturated depends (incontinence brief) and didn't return to
provide incontinence care timely.
Follow up interview on 05/21/25 at 7:54 A.M., with the Administrator to confirm timeline of events on
04/03/25 revealed the Agency CNA (#303) worked 2:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. on 04/03/25. The resident
reported he started to ring his light around 4:00 P.M. The Agency CNA answered the call light three times,
however, didn't communicate the need of two people to provide the care and it frustrated the resident. The
Administrator reported he was unsure of the time the two CNAs ended up providing care to the resident.
The Administrator was not sure of the times the Agency CNA was off the floor for lunch, when she went to
her car, or when she was in the activity room. The Agency CNA confirmed she was off the floor for
extended amounts of time because she was worried about her grandfather, however he explained to her
she still had job duties to perform.
Interview on 05/21/25 at 10:19 A.M., with CNA #184 and #102 via phone revealed they felt the Agency
CNA #303 had neglect Resident #73. The surveyor reviewed the facility's definition of neglect with the
CNAs, and they agreed the Agency CNA did not provide a good or service to the resident by turning off his
call light several times and not returning to provide care, which resulted in mental anguish to the resident.
The CNA's reported the resident usually doesn't get upset and he was upset that night and feared staff
would not return to provide care. CNA #102 reported she tried to reassure the resident she would return.
CNA #102 reported that she worked 2-10 P.M., on 04/03/25 and there were several residents upset about
the care they received or didn't receive from Agency CNA #303. She had gone to Resident #73's room
between 4:30 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. and he was upset. Resident #73 reported Agency CNA #303 had come in
his room [ROOM NUMBER]-4 times and turned his call light out and never provided incontinence care. The
CNA reported she explained to the resident she was going to get help, and she would be right back. The
resident was upset and was afraid she was going to leave him like the other aide did. The CNA reported
she provided him with reassurance and left the room to get the lift and CNA #184 to help. When she
removed the resident depends (incontinence product) it was almost disengaged. CNA #102 reported she
had confronted Agency CNA #303, and she confirmed she had turned

out Resident #73's call light several times and reported she forgot because she was pulled to another room.
The CNA (#102) reported she tried to explain to the CNA (#303) about prioritizing. CNA #102 confirmed the
Agency CNA never asked her for help. The Agency CNA continued to answer other residents call lights and
did not address their needs or she would walk past call lights and not answer them. The CNA's reported
they didn't realize the significant of the concerns until they started to assist residents with nighttime care
and the residents were mad. CNA #102 confirmed she used the word Neglect in her written statement
because she felt the Agency CNA had neglected Resident #73. Resident #73's depends/incontinence
product was like jelly. It was upsetting to her as well as the resident. The CNA felt the Agency CNA #303
had neglected other residents as well by not providing care to them timely. CNA #184 reported she felt the
Agency CNA (#303) had neglected to provide care to several residents that evening. Resident #35 was
crying as well. Resident #35 has a history of crying, but when she went to check on the resident she found
her crying. Resident #35 reported the Agency CNA #303 had dropped her when she was assisting her on
the toilet and she hit her back on the toilet seat. The resident had a pink mark on her back, but no bruising
was noted. The CNA reported she had checked on the resident several times during her shift. She had
reported the incident to the nurse.

Based on interview and medical record review the facility failed to ensure Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASARR) was completed accurately on admission. This affected one resident (#78) of
one resident reviewed for PASARR. The facility census was 84.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #78's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/28/25 with diagnoses including
acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, type 2 diabetes, bipolar disorder, depression,
post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder with depressed mood, and attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder.
Review of Resident #78's PASARR, dated 02/28/25, did not include the diagnosis of Post traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) or identify psychotropic medications prescribed.
Interview on 05/20/25 at 3:20 P.M. with Social Worker #158 including PASARR review verified the PASARR

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure dental services were
provided to Resident #32 and pressure ulcer prevention interventions were implemented for Resident #64
as per the plan of care. This affected three residents (Resident #32 and #64) of 27 residents reviewed for
care plans.Findings include:1. Review of Resident #32's medical record revealed he was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, stroke without residual
deficits, adult failure to thrive, and legal blindness.Review of Resident #32's payer status in the electronic
medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] under Ohio Medicaid (MCD). His
payer status did not change until 04/18/25, when he was changed to Hospice MCD. Review of Resident
#32's clinical admission documentation dated 01/10/25 revealed the resident had the use of an upper
denture that was in fair condition and was missing one tooth. He was indicated to have lower dentures, but
did not wear them and they weren't brought to facility with him. Review of Resident #32's significant change
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident did not have any communication
issues and was cognitively intact. He required set up or clean up assistance with his oral hygiene. He was
assessed on the MDS as being edentulous and there was no indication that he had any broken
dentures.Review of Resident #32's care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for an alteration in
dental/ oral status related to not having any natural teeth and wearing upper dentures as he chooses. The
goal was for the resident to be free of dental/ oral discomfort and to have proper fitting dentures in good
repair. The interventions included the need for a dentist to evaluate and treat as needed (prn). If the
resident wore dentures, they were to observe the condition and proper fit. They were to report any chips,
cracks, or rough edges and to notify the dentist prn. Review of Resident #32's ancillary services consent
form dated 05/09/25 revealed the resident was not known to have declined any of the ancillary services. He
was to receive dental services per his request. Resident #32's electronic medical record (EMR) was absent
for any evidence of the resident having been seen by a dentist since his admission to the facility on [DATE].
Progress notes were absent for any attempts to arrange dental services for the resident to replace his
current dentures. Review of a dental list showing when the facility's contracted dentist had last visited the
facility revealed the contracted dentist had last visited the facility on 03/19/25. Resident #32 was not one of
the 22 residents who had been seen on that date. On 05/19/25 at 8:45 A.M., an interview with Resident #32
revealed he did not have his lower denture plate at the facility due to them being broken. He had the same
set of dentures for the past 34 years. He was interested in being seen by a dentist to get a new set of
dentures. On 05/20/25 at 9:52 A.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #212 revealed he
was not aware of Resident #32 wearing dentures and was not sure if he even had them. He was not aware
the resident had the use of full upper dentures, or that he did not have his lower dentures with him due to
them being broken and left at home. On 05/20/25 at 10:20 A.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) confirmed Resident #32 had not received any dental services while in the facility. She further
confirmed the resident had consented to receive ancillary services when he was most recently asked on
05/09/25. She alleged the resident did not go under MCD until 03/19/25, and it was retroactive to 01/10/25.
She was not able to provide any documentation to support that or to dispute the EMR showing he had been
covered under MCD since 01/10/25, as was indicated under the census tab of the EMR. 2. Review of
Resident #64's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included a

difficulty walking, and age related physical debility. Review of Resident #64's annual MDS assessment
dated [DATE] revealed the resident's cognition was moderately impaired. He was not known to reject any
care. He was dependent on staff for bed mobility and transfers. The MDS identified him as being at risk for
pressure ulcers, but did not have any unhealed pressure ulcers at the time the assessment was completed.
Review of Resident #64's active care plans revealed the resident was at risk for skin breakdown related to
impaired mobility, impaired cognition, and poor sensory perception. The goal was for the resident not to
develop skin breakdown. The interventions included the need to encourage/assist the resident to float heels
as tolerated. That intervention was added on 05/20/24. Review of Resident #64's nurses' progress notes for
the past 30 days revealed no evidence of the resident not allowing the facility staff to offload his heels when
in bed. He was also not indicated to remove any pillows or other devices that were being used to offload his
heels. On 05/18/25 at 3:40 P.M., an observation of Resident #64 noted him to be lying in bed on an air
mattress. His feet were not offloaded as his heels were noted to be in direct contact with the mattress. On
05/19/25 at 1:30 P.M. and again on 05/20/25 at 8:30 A.M., further observations of Resident #64 noted him
to be lying in bed without his heels being offloaded. His heels remained in direct contact with the mattress
and there was no evidence of any pillows or other offloading devices being used to elevate his heels off the
mattress. On 05/20/25 at 11:19 A.M., an interview with CNA #212 revealed Resident #64 has had a recent
decline in his condition and did not want out of bed. The resident was not one who wanted up even before
his decline in condition that occurred over the past several weeks. He denied the resident had any current
pressure ulcers, but was at risk due to his limited mobility. He was questioned about the resident's skin
prevention interventions that were in place to prevent the development of his pressure ulcers. He stated the
facility staff would use heels up (device to offload heels) or would use pillows to offload a resident's heels, if
it was ordered by the physician. They did not offload any residents' heels, unless the physician said to. They
had access to the resident's care plans in the computer kiosk. He verified Resident #64's care plans did
include the need to encourage/ assist the resident to offload his heels. He was asked to accompany the
surveyor back to the resident's room. He verified the resident was in bed without his heels offloaded on a
pillow or other offloading device on 05/20/25 at 11:26 A.M. He was aware the resident was to have pillows
to his sides, but he denied they were using pillows under the heels in an effort to offload the resident's
heels. He stated he worked that unit five days a week during the day shift and had never tried putting
pillows under the resident's heels. On 05/23/25 at 11:32 A.M., an interview with LPN #132 revealed
Resident #64 did not have any pressure ulcers at present. She would consider him to be at risk for pressure
ulcers. She denied she was aware of the resident removing any pillows that they used for positioning. She
verified the resident's active care plans for being at risk for an alteration in skin integrity included the need
to encourage the resident to off-load heels, as part of his skin prevention interventions. She informed CNA
#212, who accompanied the survey to the nurses' station, that Resident #64 should have his heels up on a
pillow from what she was able to determine.

evidence of skin assessment to the right arm, however there was a skin tear assessment for the left arm
dated 05/08/25.
Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:58 P.M., with Resident #73 and his daughter revealed her dad frequently had
skin tears. She didn't know if it was related to the sit to stand lift and it was a tight squeeze to get through
the bathroom door or how he was acquiring so many skin tears. The daughter confirmed the resident was
dependent on staff for care.
Interview on at 05/20/25 at 4:52 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility was not aware
of the skin tear to the right arm until 05/19/25 (even though a progress note dated 05/17/25 indicated
continue treatment to right arm and surveyor observed a dressing on the right arm on 05/18/25). The DON

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure skin prevention
interventions were implemented for residents at risk for or having had pressure ulcers and also failed to
ensure a resident's pressure ulcer was comprehensively assessed weekly to monitor for wound healing.
This affected three residents (#16, #64, and #73) of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #16's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
She was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] following a multiple day hospitalization stay. Her diagnoses
included hemiplegia (paralysis) and hemiparesis (weakness) following a stroke affecting her left dominant
side, peripheral vascular disease, adult onset diabetes mellitus, reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and
dependence on a wheelchair.
Review of Resident #16's significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed
the resident had adequate hearing and clear speech. She was usually able to make herself understood and
was usually able to understand others. Her cognition was severely impaired and the resident was
dependent on staff for bed mobility and transfers. She was identified as being at risk for pressure ulcers and
was also identified as having an unhealed pressure ulcer that was a Stage III Pressure ulcer (full thickness
skin loss, where subcutaneous fat was visible, but bone, tendon, or muscle was not) that was present upon
admission.
Review of Resident #16's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for having a
pressure ulcer/ injury to the right heel. The goal was for the resident's pressure ulcer to show progressive
signs of healing. The interventions included the need to observe the wound for any redness, warmth,
drainage, odor, and report to physician as needed. They were also to perform the current treatment as
ordered and to observe the treatment for effectiveness.
Review of Resident #16's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order in place to cleanse the
resident's right heel with normal saline, pat dry, apply skin prep, cover and protect with foam dressing
changing every other day. That treatment order had been in place since 04/28/25. The special instructions
included with that order indicated the treatment was for a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of
dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red/ pink wound bed, without slough) to the right heel.
Review of Resident #16's weekly wound grid observations that the facility used to assess and document
the wound evaluation revealed the pressure ulcer to the right heel was identified on 04/23/25 and was
initially classified as a suspected deep tissue injury (purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact
skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/ or shear). The
pressure ulcer was indicated to have been present upon the resident's re-admission to the facility and
measured 2 centimeters (cm) x 1.5 cm.
Review of Resident #16's subsequent weekly wound grid observations revealed on 04/28/25 the pressure
ulcer was classified as a Stage III pressure ulcer to the right heel. Measurements obtained as part of the
weekly wound evaluation revealed the length was 2 cm and the width was 1.5 cm. There was no depth
recorded despite it being an open wound and classified as a Stage III pressure ulcer. There was no
indication of any slough being present or any other reason to explain why the depth of the

wound bed was not measured.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the resident's weekly wound grid observations for 05/05/25 and 05/12/25 revealed the resident's
pressure ulcer to the right heel remained a Stage III pressure ulcer. Measurements were obtained that
included a length and width, but again there were no depths recorded. The assessment on 05/05/25
included comments that indicated half of the open area was a closed blister and the wound healing
progress was declining. The assessment on 05/12/25 did not mention anything in the comments about the
open area being covered or partially covered with a closed blister. It indicated that the wound was noted to
have a light growth of serosanguineous exudate (drainage) when assessed and documented as improving.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the last two weekly wound grid observations for 05/19/25 and 05/26/25 revealed the weekly
assessment did not include a staging of the pressure ulcer. Measurements of a length and width was
obtained and the wound was not indicated to have any exudate. Tissue type indicated the wound bed was
closed/ resurfaced, but the wound healing status indicating it was improving, not healed or resolved.
On 05/28/25 at 9:55 A.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #171 revealed he was the facility's
wound nurse that assessed pressure ulcers weekly. He indicated he was not wound certified at the time,
but it was his intention to become wound certified, after he finished the infection preventionist training/
testing. Due to him not being wound certified, the facility had a visiting nurse practitioner that was assessing
their wounds weekly. He completed rounds with her and used her information, as part of his weekly wound
evaluations, until he became wound certified. He confirmed Resident #16 returned to the facility from the
hospital on [DATE], with a SDTI to her right heel. It then became a Stage III pressure ulcer. He
acknowledged the weekly wound assessments were identifying the pressure ulcer as a Stage III pressure
ulcer, but his measurements did not include a depth of the wound. He acknowledged if a wound was a
Stage III pressure ulcer, a depth should be able to be recorded as part of their wound assessment/
evaluation. He further acknowledged the last two weekly wound assessments completed did not include a
stage of the pressure ulcer. He acknowledged part of a comprehensive weekly wound assessment should
include a staging of the pressure ulcer. He reported the nurse practitioner that was following the resident's
pressure ulcer initially classified it as a Stage II, after it had opened from originally being a SDTI. He knew it
could not be a Stage II pressure ulcer since it had previously been identified as a SDTI, which included the
involvement of deep tissue being affected.
2. Review of Resident #64's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a history of a stroke, muscle weakness, need for assistance of personal care, difficulty
walking, and age related physical debility.
Review of Resident #64's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident's cognition was
moderately impaired. He was not known to reject any care. He was dependent on staff for bed mobility and
transfers. The MDS identified him as being at risk for pressure ulcers, but did not have any unhealed
pressure ulcers at the time the assessment was completed.
Review of Resident #64's active care plans revealed the resident was at risk for skin breakdown related to
impaired mobility, impaired cognition, and poor sensory perception. The goal was for the resident not to
develop skin breakdown. The interventions included the need to encourage/assist the resident to float heels
as tolerated. That intervention was added on 05/20/24.

Review of Resident #64's nurses' progress notes for the past 30 days revealed no evidence of the resident
not allowing the facility staff to offload his heels when in bed. He was also not indicated to remove any
pillows or other devices that were being used to offload his heels.
On 05/18/25 at 3:40 P.M., an observation of Resident #64 noted him to be lying in bed on an air mattress.
His feet were not offloaded as his heels were noted to be in direct contact with the mattress.
On 05/19/25 at 1:30 P.M. and again on 05/20/25 at 8:30 A.M., further observations of Resident #64 noted
him to be lying in bed without his heels being offloaded. His heels remained in direct contact with the
mattress and there was no evidence of any pillows or other offloading devices being used to elevate his
heels off the mattress.
On 05/20/25 at 11:19 A.M., an interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #212 revealed Resident #64 has
had a recent decline in his condition and did not want out of bed. The resident was not one who wanted up
even before his decline in condition that occurred over the past several weeks. He denied the resident had
any current pressure ulcers, but was at risk due to his limited mobility. He was questioned about the
resident's skin prevention interventions that were in place to prevent the development of his pressure
ulcers. He stated the facility staff would use heels up (device to offload heels) or would use pillows to
offload a resident's heels, if it was ordered by the physician. They did not offload any residents' heels,
unless the physician said to. They had access to the resident's care plans in the computer kiosk. He verified
Resident #64's care plans did include the need to encourage/ assist the resident to offload his heels. He
was asked to accompany the surveyor back to the resident's room. He verified the resident was in bed
without his heels offloaded on a pillow or other offloading device on 05/20/25 at 11:26 A.M. He was aware
the resident was to have pillows to his sides, but he denied they were using pillows under the heels in an
effort to offload the resident's heels. He stated he worked that unit five days a week during the day shift and
had never tried putting pillows under the resident's heels.
On 05/23/25 at 11:32 A.M., an interview with LPN #132 revealed Resident #64 did not have any pressure
ulcers at present. She would consider him to be at risk for pressure ulcers. She denied she was aware of
the resident removing any pillows that they used for positioning. She verified the resident's active care plans
for being at risk for an alteration in skin integrity included the need to encourage the resident to off-load
heels, as part of his skin prevention interventions. She informed CNA #212, who accompanied the survey
to the nurses' station, that Resident #64 should have his heels up on a pillow from what she was able to
determine.
Review of the facility's policy on Pressure Ulcers: Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment updated
05/01/25 revealed it was the facility's policy to identify residents at risk for developing pressure injuries,
implement interventions to prevent the development of pressure injuries, and provide care for existing
pressure injuries. Interventions and preventative measures as indicated based on resident risk factors
included floating heels and keeping heels off of the bed.
3. Record review revealed Resident #73 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, muscle weakness, abnormality of gait and mobility, weakness, retention of
urine, right knee pain, benign prostatic hyperplasia without lower urinary tract symptoms, obstructive and
reflux uropathy, and reduced mobility.

at high risk for pressure ulcer/skin breakdown and his treatment plan included pressure reducing device for
bed and chair.
Review of Resident #73's pressure ulcer plan of care related to incontinence, impaired mobility, cancer,
poor nutritional intake, low protein, anemia, friction concerns, shearing concerns, and behaviors of crossing
legs and feet dated 05/20/24 revealed the resident's intervention included pressure re-distribution cushion
to chair and heelzup cushion when in bed.
Review of Resident #73's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
pressure relieving devices to bed and chair.
Review of Resident #73's care conference note dated 05/20/25 at 1:31 P.M., revealed the family had
requested staff to prompt the resident to put socks on at night and continue to put cream on his feet. The
family had also requested that a soft type of barrier/mat be placed by his feet at night as well. Consent for
Podiatry signed as well per request.
Interview on 05/20/25 at 1:58 P.M., with Resident #73 and his daughter revealed the daughter just had a
care conference with the facility and she was not too confident the facility was being aggressive enough in
treating her father's sore heels. The family had offered to buy sheep skin to lay at the bottom of the bed
because they felt the sheets were rough. The resident and daughter reported the facility was currently using
pillows to prop up the heels off the bed, however the staff were not consistently putting the pillows under his
feet. The only other intervention the facility was utilizing for the resident feet was cream and the daughter
didn't feel that was sufficient due to the resident having a history of pressure ulcer on his heels shortly after
he was admitted to the facility. The daughter reported she didn't want that to happen again. The resident
reported he spends most of his time in his recliner. Observation during the interview revealed no evidence
of heelzup cushion in the room or a pressure relieving device in the recliner/chair.
Interview and observation on 05/20/25 at 3:12 P.M., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #171
and Corporate Registered Nurse (CRN) #302 confirmed the resident didn't have heelzup cushion in the
room nor a pressure relieving cushion in his recliner. CRN #302 reported that the plan of care doesn't
specify which chair required the pressure relieving cushion, however the specialized wheelchair seat was a
pressure-relieving cushion and would not require an additional pressure relieving cushion to be placed on
it. The CRN also reported maybe the heelzup cushion was in the laundry room. The resident had reported
pain in the heel region upon touch and up the back of the foot when the ADON and CRN had touched his
heels and questioned the resident about the location of the pain. The ADON and surveyor went to the
laundry room and there was a shelf where several pressure relieving devices were stored on the shelf.
There was no indication/identification to confirm if any of the devices were from Resident #73's room.
Interview on 05/21/25 at 7:13 A.M., with Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) confirmed Resident #73 sits in his
recliner most of the time. The resident only uses the specialized wheelchair only at lunch time when he
goes to his wife's room for lunch.
Review and the facility's pressure ulcer policy and procedure dated 05/01/25 revealed it was the facility's
policy to identify residents at risk for developing pressure injuries, implement interventions to prevent
development of pressure injuries and provide care for existing pressure injuries. A pressure ulcer injury risk
assessment would be completed upon admission, quarterly, annually and with significant change.
Interventions and prevention measure as indicated based on risk factors. Float

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on observation, record review and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide timely contracture
management. This affected one resident (#56) of one resident reviewed for contractures. Facility census
was 84.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #56 revealed an admission date of 02/28/23 with diagnosis
including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side,
weakness, dysphagia following cerebral infarction, difficulty in walking, pain, and adult failure to thrive.

Review of occupational therapy discharge summary revealed Resident #56 received occupational therapy
from 04/15/25 to 04/23/25. It stated the patient will be further assessed for splinting and palm pad during
treatment. Upon discharge from occupational therapy, the resident was tolerating the trial of palm guard,
and he demonstrated good rehab potential. No recommendations were made for a restorative nursing
program for range of motion at discharge from therapy.
Interview on 05/21/25 at 12:45 P.M. with Occupational Therapy (OT) #305 revealed the resident was trialed
with palm pad which he did tolerate it. He does refuse most care. Therapy discharged due to not having a
palm guard which was to be ordered.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure there was consistent
communication between the facility and the dialysis center on the days a resident went out for hemodialysis
treatments. This affected one resident (#62) of one resident reviewed for dialysis.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #62's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the
diagnoses of end stage renal disease, chronic kidney disease- Stage V, status post nephrectomy (removal
of a kidney) in 2022, and dependence on hemodialysis.
Review of Resident #62's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order in place to receive dialysis
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. His chair times varied depending on the day of the week. His chair
time was 10:30 A.M. every Monday and Friday. His chair time for Wednesday was 8:00 A.M.
Review of Resident #62's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for an alteration
in renal function as the resident received renal dialysis related to end stage renal disease. The goal was for
the resident to receive renal dialysis without complications in coordination with the dialysis center and the
facility. The interventions included the resident going to dialysis center three days per week on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. They were to encourage the dialysis center to forward the dialysis treatment notes
to the facility.
Review of Resident #62's dialysis schedule for the past 30 days (04/27/25- 05/27/25) revealed the resident
received dialysis treatments 13 times in that 30 day period. Review of the dialysis treatment sheets
revealed there were only dialysis treatment sheets for six of those 13 visits. Seven of the 13 dialysis visits
did not have a dialysis treatment sheet for. No dialysis treatment sheets were found for dialysis visits on
05/02/25, 05/05, 05/07, 05/09, 05/12, 05/16, or 05/21/25. Of the six that were found, only two (05/19/25 and
05/26/25) indicated what medications were given during his dialysis treatment. Four were left blank and did
not indicate whether the resident had been given any medications during that visit. Of the six that were
found, four (04/28/25, 04/30/25, 05/14/25, and 05/23/25) did not indicate if any new orders had been given
and five (04/28/25, 04/30/25, 05/14/25, 05/19/25, and 05/23/25) of the six did not indicate if any problems
occurred during the dialysis treatments. The dialysis treatment sheet was left blanks in those areas.
On 05/27/25 at 3:47 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #112 revealed Resident #62 did go to
dialysis every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She reported the dialysis center was not good about
sending any paperwork (dialysis treatment sheets) with the resident anymore. The dialysis center's staff
were to complete the dialysis treatment sheet and send it back with the resident. She stated if they received
anything back, it was usually just the resident's pre and post-dialysis weights and vital signs. They usually
did not bother to fill out the sections on the dialysis treatment sheet to show if the resident received any
medications or how he tolerated the treatment. They would find the dialysis treatment sheets in the
resident's bag or in his pocket, if they were even sent back at all. They would have to search through his
bag to find it, and if one was not sent back, then they were expected to call the dialysis center to get it faxed
over. She assumed the dialysis center would communicate with them, if there were any new orders, or if
there had been any changes in his condition that they should be made aware of. She felt the
communication with the dialysis center could be

Ensure each resident must receive and the facility must provide necessary behavioral health care and
services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, review of a drug reference resource, and policy review, the facility failed to
ensure a resident received a short acting anti-anxiety medication in accordance with their physician's
orders to adequately manage anxiety. This affected one resident (#48) of five residents reviewed for
behavioral-emotional care.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #48's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder.
Review of Resident #48's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order to receive Xanax (a
benzodiazepine used in the treatment of anxiety disorders) 0.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) four times a
day (QID). The order originated on 04/23/25 and included specific times for administration that included
8:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M., 5:00 P.M., and 9:00 P.M.
Review of Resident #48's medication administration history from 05/01/25 through 05/21/25 revealed the
Xanax 0.5 mg po QID was for anxiety as evidenced by excessive worry. The medication administration
history showed the Xanax was scheduled for administration at 8:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M., 5:00 P.M., and 9:00
P.M. as was indicated in the physician's orders. The nurses initialed the box to indicate the medication had
been administered. 20 of the 82 doses administered during that time had an asterisk added in the box with
the nurse's initials. The legend on the medication administration history indicated an asterisk meant a
comment in reasons/ comments was added. Review of the comments included under the reasons/
comments revealed those 20 doses had been administered late. Dates where the nurses added an asterisk
in the boxes with their initials was for the 8:00 A.M. doses on 05/01/25, 05/03, 05/06, 05/07, 05/08, 05/09,
05/14, 05/15, 05/16, 05/19, and 05/21/25; 1:00 P.M. doses on 05/12/25, 05/16, and 05/20/25; 5:00 P.M.
doses on 05/20/25; and 9:00 P.M. doses on 05/08/25, 05/12, 05/17, and 05/18/25. The reasons/ comments
added for those dates indicated the medication was administered late. The reasons/ comments added for
those dates included columns for the scheduled date and time the Xanax was to be administered, the
charted date and time, the reasons/ comments pertaining to that particular medication administration, and
the name of the nurse creating the reasons/ comments for each scheduled administration. The Xanax was
indicated to have been administered outside the hour window the nurses had to administer the medication
for that scheduled time. The Xanax was noted to have been administered as late as 11:36 A.M. for the 8:00
A.M. dose, 2:28 P.M. for the 1:00 P.M. dose, 7:26 P.M. for the 5:00 P.M. dose, and as late as 10:35 P.M. for
the 9:00 P.M. dose.
On 05/18/25 at 4:13 P.M., an interview with Resident #48 revealed he did not feel he was receiving his
Xanax as he should be. He reported his doses of Xanax were scheduled, but he received them at
inconsistent times and often late. He reported he became anxious, as a result of his medication not being
given on time, and felt like he could go off on someone when it was given to him a couple hours late. He did
not know what the nurses were not giving him his Xanax when they were due.
On 05/20/25 at 2:20 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #147 confirmed she did not
administer Resident #48's Xanax that was scheduled to be given at 8:00 A.M. that morning until around
10:30 A.M. She reported it should have been given sooner, but it was late. She indicated the time
documented on the medication administration history was the time the medication was given and not

just when it had been charted. She was not sure how long they had to administer a scheduled medication
to a resident. She was not aware of the hour window they had before or after the scheduled time. She
reported she was not over on the resident's unit to pass medications that much and was still trying to get
her routine down. She was also responsible for passing medications on the residents on the assisted living
unit. She passed them first and then passed her medications to the residents on Unit 2, where Resident
#48 resided. She did not start the morning medication pass until after she was done with report. That was
generally anywhere between 7:20 A.M. and 7:30 A.M. She did not feel she would have trouble passing the
medications more timely once she got her routine down.
Review of medication information on Xanax from Drugs.com revealed Xanax was used to treat anxiety
disorders and anxiety caused by depression. Xanax was to be taken exactly as prescribed by the physician.
The times of administration should be distributed as evenly as possible throughout the waking hours.
Review of the facility's policy on Medication Administration - General Guidelines dated May 2020 revealed
medications were to be administered within 60 minutes of the scheduled time. Unless otherwise specified
by the prescriber, routine medications were administered according to the established medication
administration schedule for the facility.
Review of the facility's policy on Med Pass updated 05/01/25 revealed medications that were not every day
(qd), twice a day (BID), or three times a day (TID) would require a specific time order by the physician.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, review of pharmacy recommendation, and interviews the facility failed to implement
pharmacy recommendation and physician orders. This affected one resident (#14) of five residents
reviewed for unnecessary medication review.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including iron deficiency anemia, weakness, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson's disease.
Review of Resident #14's pharmacy recommendation undated revealed the resident had received ferrous
sulfate 325 milligrams (mg) daily since 2023. Her complete blood count (CBC) was within normal limits on
04/28/25. Recommendation to discontinue ferrous sulfate. On 05/16/25 the physician checked the agree
box and wrote an additional comment under the other box to discontinue the monthly CBC.
Further review revealed there was a handwritten not authored by the Director of Nursing (DON) dated
05/18/25 that indicated the resident doesn't have monthly CBC and would readdress.
Review of Resident #14's orders and medication administration records dated 05/2025 revealed the ferrous
sulfate was not discontinued and the resident was still receiving and ordered ferrous sulfate 325 mg daily
for anemia.
Further review of Resident #14's orders revealed since 09/15/23 the resident CBC's have been ordered the
first Wednesday in June and December.
Review of Resident #14 Physician note dated 05/16/25 revealed to monitor CBC periodically to monitor the
resident's iron deficiency anemia.
Interview on 05/21/25 at 1:02 P.M., with the Physician revealed he had spoken to the DON regarding
several pharmacy reviews on Friday and he could not remember the exact order but his initial gut feeling
was he discontinued the ferrous sulfate and wanted to monitor the CBC periodically.
Interview on 05/21/25 at 4:14 P.M., with the DON revealed the Physician did not relay to her to discontinue
the ferrous sulfate and she had interpreted the pharmacy recommendation as the physician agreed to
discontinue monthly CBC, however the DON confirmed the resident was not ordered monthly CBC, nor was
discontinuing monthly CBC a recommendation the pharmacist had made.

On 05/20/25 at 9:52 A.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #212 revealed he was not
aware of Resident #32 wearing dentures and was not sure if he even had them. He was not aware the
resident had the use of full upper dentures, or that he did not have his lower dentures with him due to them
being broken and left at home.
On 05/20/25 at 10:20 A.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #32 had
not received any dental services while in the facility. She further confirmed the resident had consented to
receive ancillary services when he was most recently asked on 05/09/25. She alleged the resident did not
go under MCD until 03/19/25, and it was retroactive to 01/10/25. She was not able to provide any
documentation to support that or to dispute the EMR showing he had been covered under MCD since
01/10/25, as was indicated under the census tab of the EMR.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of the facility's infection control tracking logs, observation, interview, and policy review,
the facility failed to ensure all infections that occurred in the facility was included on their monthly infection
control tracking log, trends/ patterns were identified by the infection preventionist when they occurred, and
a resident with wounds was placed on enhanced barrier precautions as required. This affected one resident
(#14) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications, one resident (#22) of four residents reviewed
for pressure ulcers, and had the potential to affect all other residents residing in the facility. The facility's
census was 84.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. Review of the facility's infection control tracking log for Unit 2 in March 2025 revealed there were five
separate residents that were identified as having had infections on that unit during that month. Three of the
five infections involved the organism of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). The three
MRSA infections identified included the following:
1 a.) Resident #24 was indicated to have been treated with an antibiotic for conjunctivitis (pink eye)
between 03/03/25 and 03/13/25. A culture of the eye drainage was obtained and was positive for MRSA.
The infection was identified as being healthcare associated (infections acquired in a healthcare facility such
as a nursing home) as opposed to being community acquired (contracted outside of healthcare settings).
1 b.) Resident #79 was indicated to have been treated with an antibiotic for an abscess between 03/18/25
and 03/27/25. A culture was obtained of the drainage from the abscess and was positive for MRSA. His
infection was identified as being a healthcare associated infection and not community acquired.
1 c.) Resident #64 was indicated to have been treated with an antibiotic for a wound infection between
03/26/25 and 04/04/25. A culture was obtained of the wound drainage and was found to be positive for
MRSA. His infection was also indicated to be a healthcare associated infection and not community
acquired.
On 05/28/25 at 1:50 P.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), who was also their
Infection Preventionist revealed she did not identify any trends or patterns when tracking infections on Unit
2 for the month of March 2025. She was asked, if three of the five infections occurring involved MRSA,
would that not indicate a trend/ pattern had occurred. The first documented MRSA infection was with a
resident who had conjunctivitis with eye drainage that tested positive for MRSA. The other two residents
that tested positive for MRSA on that unit had MRSA that were in wounds. All three residents were
identified as having healthcare associated infections and none of the three were community acquired. The
three residents were also indicated to have been placed in contact isolation precautions when their
infections were noted to have involved MRSA. She denied she identified that as a trend/ pattern and did not
provide any education to the staff working that unit on hand hygiene, wound care, or following appropriate
contact isolation precautions. She acknowledged, with half of the infections recorded that month on that unit
involving the same multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) a trend/ pattern should have been identified and
education provided to the staff to try to limit the spread to the other residents residing on that unit.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the facility's infection control log, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to
ensure residents were not treated with antibiotics for urinary tract infections, unless the residents met
criteria for treatment. This affected two residents (#63 and #91), who were noted on the monthly infection
control logs for the past three months to receive antibiotics without meeting criteria for treatment.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of the facility's infection control log for March 2025 revealed Resident #63 received treatment for
a urinary tract infection (UTI) between 03/07/25 and 03/13/25. She was ordered to receive Levofloxacin (an
antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections to include UTI's. The infection control log included
columns to indicate if a McGeer's criteria (a set of standardized definitions used for surveillance of
healthcare associated infections in long term care facilities and could be used retrospectively to assess the
appropriateness of antibiotic prescribing) was completed and if the resident met criteria for treatment. The
infection control log revealed a McGeer's had been completed, but the resident did not meet criteria for
treatment. No urinalysis with a culture and sensitivity was indicated to have been completed to determine if
the resident had a UTI. There was no indication of the antibiotic having been discontinued, after it was
determined she did not meet criteria for treatment.
On 05/28/25 at 1:50 P.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), who also served as their
Infection Preventionist, confirmed Resident #63 had been treated for a UTI, when she did not meet criteria
for treatment. She reviewed the infection control log and noted resident's antibiotic was ordered by her
urologist. She reported the resident had issues with chronic UTI's and no urinalysis with a culture and
sensitivity was collected. The urologist typically just did urine dips that would not show what type of
organism was the cause of her infection, if she did in fact have one. She denied anyone questioning the
need for the antibiotic, since it was indicated she did not meet criteria for treatment. She stated the facility's
nurse practitioner did not usually question another physician's order for an antibiotic. She denied the
resident's attending physician addressed it either. She provided her rationale for continuing the antibiotic by
giving a copy of a nurse's progress note she wrote from a conversation she had with the nurse practitioner
dated 03/07/25. The progress note from the DON indicated the nurse practitioner was aware of the
resident's antibiotic order for a UTI from her urologist and the resident not meeting criteria. The DON
indicated the nurse practitioner stated to continue the antibiotic as ordered, even though the resident did
not meet criteria for treatment.
2. Review of the infection control log for March 2025 for the facility's memory care unit revealed Resident
#91 was documented as having received treatment for a UTI between 03/03/25 and 03/09/25. The resident
was ordered and had received Macrobid (an antibiotic used in the treatment of UTI's). The infection control
log indicated a McGeer's had been completed, but the resident did not meet criteria for treatment. A
urinalysis with a culture and sensitivity was not completed, therefore it was not able to be confirmed if the
resident had a UTI. It was also not able to be confirmed if the antibiotic ordered would have even been
effective in treating the UTI, since the organism that may have caused a UTI was not determined. There
was no evidence on the log of the antibiotic being discontinued when it was determined the resident did not
meet criteria for treatment. The resident received a full seven day course of the antibiotic treatment, after it
was initiated.

On 05/28/25 at 1:50 P.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), who also served as their
Infection Preventionist, confirmed Resident #91 did receive treatment for a suspected UTI, when he did not
meet criteria for treatment. She reported the resident was having urinary retention and had an indwelling
urinary catheter placed, in addition to the start of the antibiotic. She acknowledged symptoms such as
urinary retention could be caused by other medical problems and did not necessarily mean that a UTI was
present. She denied the resident had any other symptoms and the symptoms were resolved with the
placement of an indwelling urinary catheter. She was asked to provide a rationale as to why the resident
was treated with an antibiotic when he did not meet criteria for treatment and no urinalysis had been
performed to even indicate he had one. She was not able to provide any supporting documentation to show
why the antibiotic was necessary. She again stated the facility's nurse practitioner did not like to discontinue
antibiotics that were ordered by another advanced level provider. She provided a copy of a nurse's progress
note she wrote that indicated the nurse practitioner was aware of an antibiotic that had been ordered for the
resident that did not meet McGeer's criteria. The note further indicated the nurse practitioner stated to
continue the antibiotic.
Review of the facility's policy on the Antibiotic Stewardship Program updated November 2019 revealed the
facility would establish a multi-disciplinary antimicrobial stewardship program that defined and provided
guidance for optimal antimicrobial use. The facility's medical director was to set standards for antimicrobial
prescribing. The procedure indicated when a facility staff member suspected that a resident had an
infection, the nurse was to perform and document an assessment of the resident using established and
accepted Loeb assessment (criteria designed to guide the initiation of antibiotics in long-term care facilities,
focusing on clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of infection) protocols to determine if the resident's
status met minimum criteria for initiating antimicrobials prior to calling the physician. When prescribing
antimicrobials, the physician/ prescriber should determine if an antimicrobial was needed based on
documented Loeb assessment information provided by facility staff. If possible, cultures should be obtained
before starting antimicrobial therapy. Of note, prior antimicrobial therapy may interfere with bacterial growth.
