F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some They confirmed the smoking assessment doesn't differentiate between the smoking abilities/safety of the resident smoking, and the resident's refusal of not following the rules regarding keeping smoking materials in their room. Their policy is they do not want a resident who does not follow the rules of smoking or that is not safe to be a smoker, to smoke on property and potentially harm other residents. But, when asked why the above residents are permitted to leave property independently and smoke, if they are deemed supervised smokers. There was no adequate answer provided, other than they are trying to keep all the residents in the facility safe. Review of facility Smoking Policy, (undated), revealed the employee responsible at the time of the supervised smoke time is the only one to have smoking materials. There was nothing within the policy to dictate the procedures or responsibilities for those residents deemed to be supervised smokers, but choose to go on a leave of absence off facility property to independently smoke. Based on observations, medical record review, resident interview, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a safe smoking environment. This affected four residents (#21, #53, #66, and #69) of four residents reviewed for smoking safety. The census was 70. Findings Include: 1. Observations on 06/30/25 at approximately 9:30 A.M. revealed Resident #21 was given his smoking materials by facility nursing staff, and he went to the front of the building to smoke independently. He had his lighter and smoking materials in his hands with no staff going with him to the front of the building, and to the sidewalk, which is considered off property for smoking. Record review revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses were chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), idiopathic progressive neuropathy, alcoholic liver disease, type II diabetes, anemia, morbid obesity, and hypertension. Review of his minimum data set (MDS) assessment, dates 06/12/25, revealed he was cognitively intact. Review of Resident #21's smoking assessment, dated 03/11/25, revealed he was deemed to be an independent smoker. Review of Resident #21's smoking assessment, dated 05/23/25, revealed he was deemed to need supervision for smoking. The justification for making him a supervised smoker was he did not follow the facility policy of not keeping smoking materials in his room. Review of Resident #21's care plan, dated 06/29/23, revealed he was able to smoke without supervision of staff or family. Review of Resident #21 care plan, dated 06/29/25, revealed he was deemed to be a supervised smoker. But, according to his smoking assessment, he was deemed to be a supervised smoker on 05/23/25. Interview with Resident #21 on 06/30/25 at 8:45 A.M. revealed he was very upset and disappointed he was not deemed to be an independent smoker any more, simply because he had loose tobacco and rolling papers in his room. He confirmed he was able to get his smoking materials from nursing staff, and then wheel himself out to the sidewalk to smoke by himself. He didn't understand how he was allowed to do that by himself, but not smoke in the facility designated smoking area independently. 2.

She doesn't feel it's fair to be deemed a supervised smoker for only having a vape in her room. She stated she can get her smoking materials and go to the front sidewalk by herself, but she has to sign out at the nurse's desk. She doesn't understand why she has to go to the front side walk, where there is no shade from the sun, by herself, but she can't do that in the facility's designated smoking area. 3. Observation on 07/01/25 at 12:20 P.M. revealed Resident #66 getting his smoking materials from nursing staff, and going independently to the front side walk to smoke.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on record review and interview the facility failed to acquire post dialysis vital signs as ordered for one resident(#55). This had the potential to affect one resident (#55) of one resident on dialysis in the facility. The census was 70.

F 0756 were trying to accommodate the family. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Interview on 07/01/25 at 8:15 A.M. with DON confirmed the controlled substance log shows medications were not given as ordered and she had additional information regarding this time period due to a medication error that occurred when hospice mistakenly sent a script for Ativan (Lorazepam) instead of Xanax. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 07/01/25 at 9:57 A.M. with Hospice Representative #313 revealed she works in the office and pushes orders from the physician to the nurses out in the field. HR #313 stated Resident #39's orders have always been for Xanax and the current order was for Xanax 1 mg scheduled three times daily dated 06/24/25. HR #313 revealed Resident #39 has never had an order for Ativan, but it was possible the physician sent the wrong medication for her due to a lot of medication changes. HR #313 stated if the facility received orders from hospice to adjust the Xanax but received a shipment of Ativan it would be their responsibility to identify the issue and contact hospice for clarification. Interview on 07/01/25 at 11:56 A.M. with Pharmacist #322 revealed when she completes the medication regimen review, she goes into the electronic system to review orders and most of the time she looks at them. Pharmacist #322 stated she assumes the medication sent to the facility is what is on the orders. Pharmacist #322 stated she does narcotic count audits, but she looks at the sheets to make sure the count is correct, and they are filling out the log correctly and numbers match. Pharmacist #322 stated it would have been hard for her to catch the medication error.
