**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to securely administer medications according to
Resident #3's needs. This affected one resident (Resident #3) of five residents reviewed for medications.
The total census was 84.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #3 revealed she was admitted [DATE] and had diagnoses including Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), diabetes, visual hallucinations, major depressive disorder, and
bipolar disorder.
Review of Resident #3's physician orders revealed no order allowing her to keep medications at the
bedside except for her nasal spray. She had an active order dated 01/27/24 for Desvenlafaxine 100 mg to
be given daily in the morning for depression. She had an order for as-needed acetaminophen and for
scheduled Alrex and Fluticasone doses, but no active order for Turmeric.
The record review revealed no evidence of a medication self-administration assessment.
Observation of Resident #3 on 07/09/24 at 8:14 A.M. revealed she was self-administering a Fluticasone
inhaler when the surveyor entered the room. She had medication bottles at her bedside including one bottle
of acetaminophen, one bottle of Turmeric (a dietary supplement), one bottle of Alrex (anti-allergy eye
drops), and two bottles of Desvenlafaxine (an antidepressant), as well as the Fluticasone.
Interview with Resident #3 on 07/09/24 at 8:41 A.M. revealed the facility often did not have her own
medications in stock so she ordered her own. She also noted she self-medicated with her own
Desvenlafaxine (one 25 milligram pill per day) in addition to the facility-administered dosage (one 100
milligram pill per day) to equal what she felt was the correct dose.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse #845 on 07/09/24 at 11:57 A.M. confirmed the above findings.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate of less than 5
percent (%). A total of 27 medications were observed with two errors identified for a medication error rate of
14.8 %. This affected one (Resident #3) of five residents reviewed for medication administration. The total
census was 84.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #3 revealed she was admitted [DATE] and had diagnoses including chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, visual hallucinations, major depressive disorder, and
bipolar disorder. There was no order allowing her to keep medications at the bedside except for her nasal
spray. The record review revealed no evidence of a medication self-administration assessment.
Resident #3's physician orders dated 01/27/24 revealed orders for Desvenlafaxine 100 milligram (mg) to be
given daily in the morning for depression, an order dated 01/24/24 for artificial tears to be given twice daily
for dry eyes, an order dated 01/27/24 for FiberCon 625 mg two pills to be given once daily for constipation,
and an order dated 01/27/24 for one inhalation of a Fluticasone inhaler to be given daily for COPD.
Observation of a medication administration pass for Resident #3 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #845
on 07/09/24 at 8:14 A.M. revealed the resident was self-administering a Fluticasone inhaler upon entry into
the room. The resident had multiple pill containers at the bedside including two bottles labeled
Desvenlafaxine (an antidepressant). LPN #845 administered all medications scheduled for that time except
artificial tears and FiberCon (a laxative), which she said could not be found. The administered medications
included one 100 mg pill of Desvenlafaxine.
Interview with Resident #3 at the time of the above observation revealed she frequently ordered her own
medications because the facility often did not have the correct medications to give her. She also took a
Desvenlafaxine 25 mg pill before the nurse gave her medications, saying she needed a 125 mg total dose
of Desvenlafaxine to prevent panic attacks.
Interview with LPN #845 at 9:16 A.M. on 07/09/24 confirmed the above findings.
Interview with LPN #845 at 11:57 A.M. on 07/09/24 confirmed that Resident #3 had no orders to
self-administer medications and that the FiberCon and artificial tears still were not found or administered.
The above findings resulted in four medication errors out of 27 observed potentials for error, creating an
error rate of 14.8%.
Record review of the medication administration policy dated 2001 revealed medications were to be given in
accordance with prescriber orders. Residents were only to self-administer medications if the attending
physician and interdisciplinary care team had determined they have the capacity to do so safely.

Based on observation, interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the ice machine
filter was clean and sanitary and that staff properly secured and covered their hair while working in the
kitchen. This had the potential to affect all residents (except Residents #45 and #85 who were identified by

Findings include:
On 07/08/24 from 8:08 A.M. through 8:20 A.M., the initial tour of the kitchen revealed the ice machine filter
was not clean and had a layer of dust. Interview at the time of observation with Dietary [NAME] #814
verified the ice machine filter was dirty and it was supposed to be cleaned monthly.
On 07/10/24 at 12:26 P.M., an observation of the kitchen revealed Dietary [NAME] #815 was wearing a
hairnet on top of her head with long braids hanging down her back which were not covered by the hairnet.
Dietary [NAME] #815 began preparing food without securing or covering her long braids.
On 07/10/24 at 1:03 P.M., an interview with Dietary Manager #812 verified Dietary [NAME] #815's braids
were unsecured and uncovered. She stated that her expectation was for dietary staff to wear hairnets and
keep their hair covered.
Review of a facility list of resident diets revealed Resident's #45 and #85 received no food by mouth.
Review of the facility policy titled Kitchen Sanitation - Cleaning Policies and Procedures, dated 2010,
indicated the ice machine should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain clean and sanitary conditions.

observation, interview, review of email communication between the facility and the repair company, and
review of the quote for repairs, the facility failed to maintain the walk-in freezer in a proper working condition
and address a malfunction of the freezer door in a timely manner. This had the potential to affect all
residents (except Residents #45 and #85 who were identified by the facility as having orders for nothing by
mouth) who received food from the kitchen. The facility census was 84.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of the repair quote, dated 05/13/24, revealed Royal Heating and Air Conditioning Service
determined the freezer door sweep needed repaired and quoted the facility $288.00 for the repair with an
estimated completion date of 07/10/24 through 08/07/24.
Review of an email, dated 07/01/24, sent from Royal Heating and Air Conditioning Service to the
Administrator revealed the repair company needed confirmation that the repair quote had been accepted
and the part needed to be ordered from the vendor.
Review of a facility list of resident diets revealed Residents #45 and #85 received no food by mouth.
On 07/08/24 from 8:08 A.M. through 8:20 A.M., the initial tour of the kitchen revealed the walk-in freezer
had ice buildup at the top and down the side on the inside of the door, there was ice with snow-like
consistency covering the floor on the right side of the freezer, ice on 12 boxes of food items on the bottom
shelf along the right side of the freezer, and ice on one box of Italian ice cups on the shelf on the left side of
the freezer. Interview at the time of observation with Dietary [NAME] #814 verified the ice buildup inside the
walk-in freezer and stated the door did not seal properly which caused the ice buildup. Dietary [NAME]
#814 said maintenance was aware of the issue and had not repaired it yet.
On 07/08/24 at 8:33 A.M., an interview with Dietary Manager #812 confirmed the freezer door was not
working properly and maintenance had known about the issue since at least May 2024.
On 07/10/24 at 9:10 A.M., an observation of the walk-in freezer revealed there was still ice with a snow-like
