on 09/29/25 at 11:14 A.M., Resident #43 stated that Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #2 knew there had
been a time they wanted to go to the hospital, but the PCP would not let them be sent. The resident stated
that they did not sleep for two nights and sweated during the day. Resident #43 stated that the facility staff
finally drew blood for laboratory testing, but they felt better by that time. During a follow up interview with
Resident #43 on 12/08/25 at 9:38 A.M., Resident #43 stated that LPN #2 knew they wanted to go to the
hospital, but her hands were tied because the PCP would not agree to send the resident. The resident
stated that around 10/19/25, they had felt bad the entire weekend. Resident #43 stated that when the nurse
called the PCP, the PCP stated that the resident had no history of cardiac issues. Resident #43 stated that
the chest pain radiated down their left arm. Per the resident, the problem turned out to be anxiety, but they
still did not understand why the PCP would not allow the resident to be sent to the hospital for chest pain.
LPN #2 was interviewed on 12/09/25 at 10:43 A.M. LPN #2 stated she remembered when Resident #43
requested to go to the hospital and requested she not tell the PCP what their oxygen level was and had told
her that their oxygen level dropped when they laid down. The Social Services Director (SSD) was
interviewed on 12/11/25 at 11:41 A.M. The SSD stated that while Resident #43 had not reported issues of
wanting to go to the hospital and being denied, she had overheard a discussion about the resident wanting
to transfer to the hospital during a morning meeting. The SSD stated that she had overheard the
conversation but was not involved in the discussion. The SSD stated that she had not followed up with
Resident #43 about the issue. The SSD stated that if the resident wanted to go to the hospital, it was their
right and if the resident felt they needed to seek healthcare elsewhere, the resident had the right to seek
that care. A telephone interview was held with LPN #3 on 12/11/25 at 1:23 P.M. The LPN stated that she
remembered Resident #43 requested to go to the hospital twice. She stated that in August 2025, the
resident's blood sugar had measured 44. She stated she gave the resident something to eat, the symptoms
resolved, and the resident did not request to go to the hospital again. She stated that in September 2025,
Resident #43 complained of diarrhea, and she gave the resident medication. She stated she called the
PCP, but the PCP did not return the call. LPN #3 stated that while she had not called the PCP many times,
his usual reply for any problem was laboratory tests and a drug screen. LPN #3 stated that the times she
had been with Resident #43, the resident received adequate treatment in the facility and had not required
transfer to the hospital.Attempts were made on 12/11/25 at 1:44 P.M. to call LPN #4, who provided care to
the resident when they had the episode with chest pain, and the phone had been disconnected.A
telephone interview was held with the PCP on 12/12/25 at 11:41 A.M. The PCP stated that he always gave
options to residents of being transferred to the hospital or being treated in the facility. The PCP stated that
Resident #43 was able to be treated in the facility as easily as in the hospital, and there was nothing that
would have been done in the hospital that could not have been done in the facility. He stated that Resident
#43 frequently became frustrated and wanted to go to the hospital, and he referred to Resident #43 as a
frequent flier that liked to go to the ER for pain medication. The PCP stated that if Resident #43 had
transferred to the hospital in August 2025, September 2025, or October 2025, the hospital would have just
sent the resident back to the facility, citing that he knew that because he was an ER physician. The PCP

make the resident happy. Resident #43 was interviewed on 12/12/25 at 2:01 P.M. The resident stated that
their blood sugar had been low, and while the blood sugar rose after getting the sandwich, there had been
difficulty keeping the blood sugar at a normal level. The resident stated the chest pain in October had
radiated to the left arm and added they did not appreciate the PCP telling the nurse there was no cardiac
history. Resident #43 stated that even with the symptoms temporarily resolving in August 2025, September

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure a
resident was provided with reasonable access to a telephone in a private setting. This affected one (#23) of
two residents reviewed for privacy. The facility census was 71.Findings include:An admission Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident #23 on 11/21/17. According to the admission Record, the resident
had a medical history that included diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia, unspecified psychosis, anxiety
disorder, and personality disorder. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference
Date (ARD) of 11/14/25, revealed Resident #23 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14,
which indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS indicated the resident was independent with
activities of daily living (ADLs). The MDS also indicated the resident had delusions, verbal behavioral
symptoms directed toward others, and behavioral symptoms not directed towards others. Resident #23's
Care Plan Report, initiated 02/14/25, indicated the resident had a potential for altered behavioral patterns,
inappropriate verbal behaviors, intolerance of peers, and yelling at staff and residents. Interventions
directed staff to be careful not to invade Resident #23's personal space and to be respectful of the
resident's privacy. An observation on 12/10/25 at 3:26 P.M. revealed Resident #23 exited the second floor
elevator and proceeded to the telephone station located directly across from the elevators. The observation
revealed the telephone station was situated in an open area without doors or walls which allowed residents,
staff, and visitors to unintentionally overhear telephone conversations. Resident #23 was observed sitting
on their rollator walker (a mobility device with a seat) making a telephone call. An observation on 12/10/25
at 3:30 P.M. revealed another resident and staff exited the elevator and walked passed Resident #23, who
was actively engaged in a telephone conversation. During an interview on 12/08/25 at 2:52 P.M., Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) #14 stated the facility had phones that were not portable for residents to use and
privacy was a concern as the designated phone station was an open area with no walls. During an
interview on 12/10/25 at 3:43 P.M., Resident #23 stated, There is no privacy. Resident #23 stated they
would rather use the telephone on the second floor than the phone on the first floor, where their room was
located, due to less people walking by. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/11/25 at 9:06
A.M., CNA #13 stated the facility had a phone in each station. The observation revealed a phone by the
back nursing station close to the rehabilitation room, and there were no walls surrounding the nursing
station. An observation of the middle nursing station, close to the elevator, revealed there was no phone
that was easily accessible to the residents. The observation revealed the phone was located inside the
oxygen storage room/nurse charting (documentation) room with a sign indicating the room was for staff
only. CNA #13 stated the phone used to be located by the middle nursing station. During an interview on
12/11/25 at 10:49 P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #16 stated phones were down the 300 hallway and
by the nursing station on the 400 hallway. LPN #16 stated the phones were located in the open. LPN #16
stated they used to have a phone by the snack machine but did not think the phone was there anymore.
During an interview on 12/12/25 at 2:51 P.M., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated residents had access to
phones by the stations. The IP stated he offered residents use of his office for private phone calls as the
nursing stations were open and the facility did not have a designated room for resident calls. During an
interview on 12/13/25 at 9:48 A.M., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated residents should have
access to a private area to use the telephone. The IDON stated the facility did not want residents to feel that
staff or others might overhear their telephone conversations, particularly when discussing personal
information. During an interview on 12/13/25 at 10:50 A.M., the Administrator stated the residents should

on 12/06/25, Resident #69 told her that Registered Nurse (RN) #10 shoved a bedside table into the
resident's knee and that the nurse was rough and disrespectful. She stated that she called the Interim

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

During a follow-up interview on 12/10/25 at 4:33 P.M., the IDON stated that being rude was not an
allegation of abuse because it did not sound like RN #10 was being abusive. She stated that the allegation
that water was spilled was an allegation of abuse if it was purposeful. She stated that abuse needed to
have occurred for it to be reportable to the SSA. She stated that when she investigated the allegations, she
did not find abuse.
Residents Affected - Few
During a follow-up interview on 12/11/25 at 8:42 A.M., CNA #9 stated that she requested the
Administrator's phone number via a text message on 12/06/25 at 9:14 P.M. to the IDON, and the IDON
refused.
The resident's record revealed no evidence that the allegations were reported to the SSA.
During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:30 P.M., the Administrator stated that the IDON called her late on
12/06/25 or early 12/07/25 to report that CNA #9 did not want to obtain vital signs, and she and RN #10
had a history of not getting along elsewhere. The Administrator stated that she was not aware of water
being spilled or a table being shoved against Resident #69's legs. She stated that it depended on the intent
whether the water being spilled on the resident was an allegation of abuse. The Administrator stated that
CNA #9, CNA #11, and RN #10, who heard Resident #69 allege that a table was shoved into the resident's
legs, should have reported to the IDON or to herself. She stated that the IDON should not have denied CNA
#9 her phone number. She stated that she was not aware that CNA #9 had called the IDON about the
incident. She stated that she expected staff to report allegations of abuse immediately to the DON who
would then report it to her, or they could report the allegation to her themselves. She stated that the facility
had two hours to report an allegation of physical abuse to the SSA. She stated that the allegations should
have been reported to the SSA when they were reported to the IDON.

about staff.
During an interview on 09/29/25 at 11:14 AM, Resident #43 stated that CNA #18 told them (Resident #43)
to shut up. The resident stated that the CNA told them to shut up when they removed sugar from a coffee

investigate allegations of abuse. This affected three (#69, #43, and #78) of three residents reviewed for
abuse. The facility census was 71.Findings include:1. An admission Record revealed the facility admitted
Resident #69 on 07/12/25. According to the admission Record, the resident had a medical history that
included a diagnosis of unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance,
psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety.
Residents Affected - Few
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/15/25, revealed
Resident #69 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 8, which indicated the resident had
moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated the resident did not exhibit physical behavioral
symptoms directed toward others or verbal behavioral symptoms directed toward others during the
assessment timeframe.
Resident #69's Care Plan Report included a focus area initiated 07/30/25, that indicated the resident had
impaired cognitive function/impaired thought process related to dementia. Undated interventions directed
staff to communicate with the resident/family/caregivers regarding the resident's capabilities and needs.
A handwritten statement from Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #11, dated 12/07/25, indicated that on
12/06/25, a coworker from a contracted staffing agency complained about a nurse being rude. The

immediately interviewed regarding RN #10's treatment of them, no evidence of RN #10 being suspended
immediately pending investigation following the allegation, and no evidence of the resident being
immediately assessed following the allegation.
During a telephone interview on 12/10/25 at 10:34 A.M., CNA #9 stated that on 12/06/25, Resident #69 told

rough and disrespectful. She stated that she called the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) to report the
allegation. She stated that the IDON told her she did not believe the CNA. She stated that the resident
continued to talk about the incident for the rest of her shift.
During an interview on 12/10/25 at 11:14 A.M., Resident #69 stated that a staff member took the resident's
table and slammed it against the resident's legs. The resident stated that there was water in a cup and it
spilled. Resident #69 stated that the staff did not care or excuse themselves. The resident stated that they
(Resident #69) told other staff that the staff member slammed the table into the resident's legs and spilled
water, but the resident could not remember who they told.
During an interview on 12/10/25 at 1:02 P.M., CNA #11 stated that on 12/06/25, Resident #69 was walking
the hall stating that a table was hit against their leg and hurt their leg. She stated that she did not ask the

resident came out of the resident's room, the resident accused her of shoving a table into the resident's leg.
She stated she called the IDON immediately after the resident accused her of shoving the table into the
resident's leg to report the allegation. She stated that the IDON told her to assess the resident and make
sure the resident was okay. She stated that she asked the resident if they were in any pain and she was
able to see the resident's legs but did not document the assessment. She stated that CNA #11 went into
Resident #69's room with her for the rest of the day.
During an interview on 12/10/25 at 3:42 P.M., the IDON stated that RN #10 reported to her that Resident
#69 had alleged RN #10 spilled water on the resident. She stated that CNA #9 reported to her that the CNA
heard Resident #69 state that RN #10 was rude. She stated that she interviewed the resident on
12/08/2025. She stated that she conducted the interview because RN #10 stated that Resident #69 was
saying that the RN spilled water on the resident. She stated she did not document the interview or ask
specifically about the incident. She stated that her interview consisted of asking the resident how the
resident's day was. She stated that she also obtained statements from RN #10, CNA #11, and a
housekeeper.
During a follow-up interview on 12/10/25 at 4:33 P.M., the IDON stated that being rude was not an
allegation of abuse because it did not sound like RN #10 was being abusive. She stated that the allegation
that water was spilled was an allegation of abuse if it was purposeful. She stated that when she
investigated the allegations, she did not find abuse. She stated that she conducted an investigation
because CNA #11 wrote in her statement that CNA #9 was stating that a nurse abused a resident. She
stated that she did not have documentation of interviews with other residents. The IDON stated that the Unit
Manager conducted the interviews with other residents. She stated that Resident #69 was protected
because she told CNA #11 to be with RN #10 anytime she needed to give medications to Resident #69 and
because she (the IDON) was on the phone with the staff throughout the day.
During a follow-up interview on 12/11/25 at 8:42 A.M., CNA #9 stated that the IDON told her that she was
taking her (CNA #9) off the schedule to complete an investigation.
During an interview on 12/11/25 at 8:54 A.M., the Unit Manager/Infection Preventionist (UM/IP) stated that
he found out on 12/08/25 that there was agency staff that felt threatened by a nurse, and that the nurse
spilled water on a resident. He stated that he talked to three residents, but they were not interviews; he just
asked them how their weekend was, and he did not document the conversations.
During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:30 P.M., the Administrator stated that the IDON called her late on
12/06/25 or early on 12/07/25 to report that CNA #9 did not want to obtain vital signs, and she and RN #10
had a history of not getting along elsewhere. The Administrator stated that she was not aware of water
being spilled or a table being shoved against Resident #69's legs. She stated that it depended on the intent
whether the water being spilled on the resident was an allegation of abuse.?She stated that the IDON
should have asked in three different ways how it happened. She stated that protecting a resident from
abuse would not have included being on the phone. She stated that if an employee was the perpetrator,
they should be suspended. She stated that she was not aware of statements obtained from the three
employees. She reviewed CNA #11's statement and stated that there should have been an immediate
investigation.
During an interview on 12/13/25 at 10:38 A.M., the IDON stated that her expectation for conducting an
investigation included immediately suspending parties involved; interviewing whoever reported the
allegation; start providing education; interview all staff and all residents; and notify family,

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to develop
individualized resident-centered care plans with measurable objectives for two (#3 and #61) of 49 residents
whose care plans were reviewed. The facility census was 71. Findings include: 1. An admission Record
revealed the facility admitted Resident #3 on 07/12/24. According to the admission Record, Resident #3
had a medical history that included diagnoses of cerebral infarction (stroke) and osteoarthritis.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/03/25, revealed
Resident #3 had severe impairment in cognitive skills for daily decision-making and had a short-term and
long-term memory problem per a staff assessment of mental status (SAMS). The MDS indicated Resident

impairment on one upper extremity and one lower extremity. The MDS revealed Resident #3 was
dependent on staff for completion of all activities of daily living (ADLs), except for eating, and was
dependent on staff for all mobility.
Resident #3's Care Plan Report included a focus area, initiated 07/25/24, that indicated the resident had
osteoarthritis and scoliosis. Interventions directed staff to monitor, document, and report contracture
formation and joint changes and to use supportive devices such as splints as recommended by
occupational therapy. The Care Plan Report was not individualized for Resident #3 and did not include
when the resident was to wear the splint or documentation about the resident's contracture including the
contracture location.
Resident #3's Order Summary Report, that included active orders as of 12/08/25, revealed, Trialing R [right]
hand Splint with therapy for 2 hours, dated 06/16/25.
Resident #3's Occupational Therapy [OT] Discharge Summary, with dates of service from 11/19/24 through
06/16/25, indicated the resident would tolerate a splint to the right hand with a schedule to be determined
by the patient's tolerance with a time of two hours at discharge, 06/16/25. The OT Discharge Summary
indicated the resident/staff would demonstrate 100% compliance/competence with the splint wearing
schedule.
An observation made on 09/29/25 at 9:37 A.M. revealed Resident #3's right hand was contracted with the
resident's fingers resting on palm of the resident's hand. The observation revealed no devices were seen in
Resident #3's hand to protect the resident's palm.

Resident #3's contractures and interventions for contracture management to be care planned.
The MDS Coordinator (MDSC) was interviewed on 12/13/25 at 8:54 A.M. and stated that when developing
the care plan, she reviewed physician's orders for devices such as hand rolls or splints. The MDSC
reviewed Resident #3's care plan and stated she had omitted the care plan for the contractures and the
splints.
The Administrator was interviewed on 12/13/25 at 10:45 A.M. and stated she expected the contractures
and contracture management to be included in the resident's care plan.

Based on interview, observation, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to place a splint
or handroll into residents contracted hands as ordered by the physician. This affected two (#3 #8) of three
residents reviewed for contractures. The facility census was 71.Findings include: 1. An admission Record
revealed the facility admitted Resident #3 on 07/12/24. According to the admission Record, Resident #3
had a medical history that included cerebral infarction (stroke) and osteoarthritis. A quarterly Minimum Data
Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/03/25, revealed Resident #3 had severe
impairment in cognitive skills for daily decision-making and had short-term and long-term memory problems
per a Staff Assessment of Mental Status (SAMS). The MDS indicated Resident #3 had not rejected care
during the assessment's lookback period. The MDS indicated the resident had functional limitations in
range of motion on one upper extremity and one lower extremity. The MDS revealed Resident #3 was
dependent on staff for completion of all activities of daily living (ADLs), except for eating, and was
dependent on staff for all mobility. Resident #3's Care Plan Report had no documentation about the
resident's contractures and no interventions to prevent the contracture from worsening. Further review
revealed no information on splint usage, including when the resident was to wear the splint. The Care Plan
Report included a focus area initiated on 07/25/24, that indicated the resident had osteoarthritis.
Interventions directed staff to use supportive devices such as braces, canes, crutches, and splints as
recommended by occupational therapy (OT). An Occupational Therapy OT Discharge Summary, dated
06/16/25 indicated that on 06/16/25 Resident #3 met the goal of tolerating a splint to their right hand with
the schedule to be determined by the resident's tolerance. The discharge summary revealed that on
discharge, the resident was tolerating the splint for two hours per day. The discharge summary indicated
that the long-term goal was that the patient and staff would demonstrate 100% compliance/competence
with the splint-wearing schedule. The discharge summary revealed that on discharge, staff and resident
compliance with the schedule was 50%. Resident #3's Order Summary Report with active orders as of
12/08/25, revealed an order dated 06/16/25, for trialing a right-hand splint with therapy for two hours.
Resident #3's November 2025 and December 2025 Medication Administration Record [MAR] indicated
there were no entries that documented when Resident #3's splint had been donned and doffed. During an
observation on 09/29/25 at 9:37 A.M., Resident #3's right hand was contracted, with the resident's fingers
resting on their palm. During an observation on 09/30/25 at 2:50 P.M., Resident #3 was lying in bed. The
splint for Resident #3 was lying on the bookcase. During an observation on 12/09/25 at 10:31 A.M.,
Resident #3 was lying in bed with their eyes closed. The resident's splint was lying on the overbed table to
the left of the resident's bed. During an observation on 12/11/25 at 10:38 A.M., Resident #3 was lying in
bed with their eyes closed, sitting in an upright position. The resident's splint was not on the resident's
hand, and no rolled cloths had been placed in the resident's clenched fists. During an interview on 12/09/25
at 11:23 A.M., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #12 stated the therapy department educated the CNAs on
how to apply splints used by residents and how long to leave the splints on the residents. CNA #12 stated
there were no residents in his hall, the hall where Resident #3 lived, that refused to have their splints or
hand rolls applied. During an interview on 12/09/25 at 2:50 P.M., CNA #13 stated that the CNAs were
responsible for placing splints and rolled wash cloths and towels in residents' hands. CNA #13 stated either
the nurse, or the therapy department let the CNA know how to apply the splint and how long to leave splints
on. CNA #13 stated there was no one in the hall where she worked that refused to have their splints
applied. During an interview on 12/11/25 at 10:54 A.M., CNA #12 stated the therapy department had not

splints, and he was unsure when the resident was scheduled to wear the splint. CNA #12 stated that the
instruction for Resident #3's splint should be found in the bedside table. CNA #12 stated that on 12/09/25
he had not placed Resident #3's splint on because the resident had been in bed all day. During an interview
on 12/11/25 at 11:14 A.M., CNA #14 stated she was unaware Resident #3 had a splint and added she had
received no education on placing the resident's splint. CNA #14 confirmed Resident #3 had a contracted
hand and stated she had not placed a rolled cloth in the resident's hand because she had not been
instructed to place anything in the resident's hand. During a concurrent observation, CNA #14 went to the
resident's room to look for an instruction guide for the resident's splint and saw Resident #3's splint on the
nightstand. CNA #14 stated she had not seen the resident wear the splint and was unable to find
information about the splint in the resident's room. During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:15 P.M., the
Rehabilitation Manager (RM) stated education for contracture management including when to apply a splint
was done verbally, then staff signed an attendance document. The RM stated that the use of splints was
important to prevent skin breakdown or decline of the contracture. The RM confirmed that Resident #3 had
a right-hand splint. He stated he had reviewed the educational documentation for Resident #3 and the
CNAs that signed the document no longer worked in the facility. The RM stated that when Resident #3 had
been discharged from OT on 06/16/25, donning the splint became the responsibility of the nursing
department, and the nursing department was responsible for making sure staff complied with the
application of the splint. The RM stated he had received no reports from staff that indicated Resident #3
refused to wear the splint. During a telephone interview on 12/12/25 at 11:46 P.M., the Medical Director
(MD) stated he expected staff to follow the physician's order. He stated that the continued non-use of splints
in contracted hands could potentially make the contractures worse. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 2:28
P.M., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated that when a resident had an order for a splint, she
expected staff to follow the order and place the splint on the resident. The IDON stated that if the splint was
not used per orders, the contracture may worsen. The Administrator was interviewed on 12/13/25 at 10:45
A.M. and stated she expected the physician's orders for Resident #3's splint to be followed to prevent skin
breakdown and to keep the contracture from getting worse. 2. An admission Record revealed the facility
admitted Resident #8 on 12/22/09 and most recently readmitted the resident on 05/29/21. According to the
admission Record, the resident had a medical history that included multiple sclerosis, type II diabetes
mellitus, the need for assistance with personal care, and a contracture of the left hand. A quarterly MDS,
with an ARD of 10/04/25, revealed Resident #8 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3,
which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #8 was
dependent upon staff for the completion of personal hygiene. Resident #8's Care Plan Report, included a
focus area initiated 10/23/23, that indicated Resident #8 had a self-care performance deficit related to
multiple sclerosis. Interventions directed staff to apply a left-hand towel roll or hand splint, and staff were to
encourage range of motion during activities. Resident #8's Order Summary Report, with active orders as of
12/08/25, revealed an order dated 02/27/24, for a left palm roll to be placed in the morning while out of bed
and to be taken off at night when in bed. Resident #8's November 2025 and December 2025 Medication
Administration Record [MAR] revealed there was no documentation of the donning or doffing of the left
palm roll. A Kardex (a care plan accessed by the CNAs instructing them on how to care for a resident)
indicated Resident #8 was to have a left-hand towel roll or a hand splint. During an observation on 09/29/25
at 9:30 A.M., Resident #8's left hand was contracted, with the resident's pointer finger sticking straight out
toward the thumb and other fingers curved toward the palm. Nothing was seen in the palm of the resident's

splint in the resident's hand. The resident was unable to say if they had been up in the wheelchair that day
or if the splint had been applied. During an observation on 12/08/25 at 10:00 A.M., Resident #8 was lying in
bed with both hands bent inward with their fingers pointed toward the palms. There was nothing in the
resident's hands to prevent the fingertips from touching the resident's palms. During an observation on
12/09/25 at 11:08 A.M., Resident #8 was sitting in a geriatric chair in the chapel for church service. The
resident had no towel roll in their left hand as directed by physician's orders. During an interview on
12/09/2025 at 11:23 A.M., CNA #12 stated the therapy department educated the CNAs on how to apply
handrolls and stated there were no residents on Resident #8's hall that refused to have their hand rolls
applied. CNA #12 stated there should be an instructional sheet in the resident's room directing how and
when to apply the hand rolls. During an observation on 12/11/25 at 10:36 A.M., Resident #8 was sitting in a
wheelchair next to the bed. There was no rolled washcloth, towel, or splint in Resident #8's hands. During a
follow-up interview on 12/11/25 at 10:48 A.M., CNA #12 stated Resident #8 was to wear the handroll when
they were up, but he was not entirely sure what the order for the handroll included. He stated that on
12/09/25 when Resident #8 had been to the church service, he had not applied the resident's handroll and
stated he had forgotten. During an interview on 12/11/25 at 11:09 A.M., CNA #14 stated Resident #8 was
out of bed at 8:00 A.M. CNA #14 stated she had worked in the facility for six months and had not seen
anything in the resident's hand. CNA #14 stated she had not placed anything in Resident #8's hand
because she was unaware she was to place anything in the resident's hands. During an interview on
12/11/25 at 3:15 P.M., the RM stated that the order for Resident #8's handroll was placed in February 2024
and the resident was to wear the left palm roll-up while out of bed. The RM defined a left palm roll-up as a
washcloth placed in the resident's hand. The RM reviewed the treatment notes for Resident #8 and stated
Resident #8's hand splint no longer fit, and a hand roll was recommended. The RM stated measuring
Resident #8's contractures to see if the contractures were worse would not be possible since the OT was
only in the building two days a week, and an order for an evaluation would be needed before the OT could
measure. During a telephone interview on 12/12/25 at 11:46 A.M., the MD stated he expected staff to follow
physician's orders. The MD stated that continued non-use of hand rolls or splints in contracted hands could
potentially make the contracture worse. During an observation on 12/12/25 at 1:20 P.M., Resident #8 was
sitting upright in a wheelchair by their bed. There was not a handroll in the resident's hand. During a
concurrent interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #8, who was assigned to care for Resident #8 on
12/12/25, stated she was aware that Resident #8 had orders for handrolls and stated they were to be in the
resident's hands when the resident was out of bed. LPN #8 went to the resident's room and validated there
were no handrolls in the resident's hands. She instructed CNA #14 to get hand rolls and place them in
Resident #8's hands, and the CNA replied that therapy had to place the handrolls. During an interview on
12/12/25 at 2:28 P.M., the IDON stated that when a resident had an order for a handroll, she expected staff
to follow the order and place the handroll. The IDON stated that if the handroll was not used per orders, the
contracture could get worse. The IDON stated Resident #8's hand roll should be documented on the MAR.
The Administrator was interviewed on 12/13/25 at 10:45 A.M. and stated she expected the staff to follow
the physician's orders and place the handrolls in Resident #8's hand. She stated that not using the hand roll
could lead to skin breakdown and worsening of the contracture. A facility policy titled, Functional
Impairment-Clinical Protocol, revised September 2012, revealed the section titled, Cause Identification,
included, 5. The physician and staff will evaluate the resident for complications secondary to functional

indicated Resident #58 did not have cognitive loss, visual deficit, or a dexterity problem. The assessment
further indicated that the resident required supervision, smoked two to five times a day, and the resident
could light their own cigarette. The assessment revealed the resident was provided with the smoking policy,
and the plan of care was used to ensure resident was safe while smoking. During an observation on
12/09/25 at 1:46 P.M., during a resident smoke break, Resident #58 handed a lighter to another resident so
the resident could light a cigarette. Once the cigarette was lit, Resident #58 placed the lighter in the

Based on interview, observation, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to date opened
vials of insulin and failed to remove expired insulin from two of four medication carts observed. The facility
census was 71.Findings include:An observation on 12/12/25 at 9:45 A.M. of the medication cart for the 100
Hall revealed a vial of Lantus (a type of insulin) with an open date of 11/13/25. During a concurrent
interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #7 stated Lantus was good for 28 days after the open date,
which meant the vial of Lantus was expired and should have been removed from the medication cart. LPN
#7 stated that the medication carts were checked weekly during the medication cart audits, and the nurse
giving the medication was expected to check the labels of medications for expiration dates prior to giving
the medication. LPN #7 stated she would discard the expired insulin. An observation on 12/12/25 at 9:55
A.M. of the medication cart for the 200 Hall revealed one vial of insulin that had an open date of 10/31/25.
Three vials of insulin had been opened, insulin used, and the vials were left undated as to when they were
opened. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 9:55 P.M., LPN #8 stated the insulins were good for a month
after opening. LPN #8 stated she had no information on the medication cart that identified when each type
of insulin expired, and she just had to remember. LPN #8 stated if a resident was given an insulin that had
expired, the insulin may not be as effective in controlling the resident's blood sugar. LPN #8 stated it was
the responsibility of the nurse that opened the vial of insulin or opened the insulin pens to place a date on
the containers when opened. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 11:32 A.M., the Infection Preventionist (IP)
stated the unit managers were responsible for checking the carts weekly to make sure all medications were
labeled, dated, and remove all expired, discontinued, and opened but undated medications. The IP stated
that removing those medications from the carts helped prevent medication errors. The IP stated it was also
the responsibility of the nurses to check expiration dates and medication labeling as they gave medication.
The IP stated expired insulin may not be as effective and put the resident at risk of uncontrolled blood
sugar. During a telephone interview on 12/12/25 at 11:46 A.M., the Medical Director (MD) stated that
expired medications, such as insulin, were not as effective but otherwise caused no harm to the residents.
During an interview on 12/12/25 at 2:28 P.M., the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated that when a vial
of insulin or an insulin pen was opened, the nurse was expected to put the open date on the vial or pen.
The IDON stated that most insulin was good for 28 days, but there were exceptions. The IDON stated the
process for making sure expired insulin or undated insulins were removed from the medication carts
included weekly checks by the unit manager. The IDON stated she was the manager for the 100 Hall and
200 Hall and stated she had last checked those carts two weeks prior. The IDON stated she expected the
nurses giving the insulin to also check the vials for expiration or lack of dating and stated that undated and
expired medications should be discarded. The Administrator was interviewed on 12/13/25 at 10:43 A.M. and
stated nurses should not use expired insulin, and if the insulin were undated, the insulin should not be used
since the nurse would not know if the insulin had expired. A facility policy titled, Medication Labeling and
Storage, dated 2001, indicated, Multi-dose vials that have been opened or accessed (e.g. [exempli gratia,
for example], needle punctured) are dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies
a shorter or longer date for the open vial.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and facility document and policy review, the facility failed to ensure food
was prepared and served in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. Specifically, the
facility failed to ensure staff wore beard restraints during food preparation, and the facility failed to ensure
chemical test strips used to check the concentrations of sanitizing solutions were not expired. This affected
all residents who ate food prepared in the kitchen. Findings include:1. An observation on 12/10/25 at 9:45

was preparing pureed pork chops. An observation on 12/10/25 at 12:04 P.M. revealed DC #6's hair restraint
was not covering his beard while he was preparing mechanically altered coleslaw. During an interview on
12/10/25 at 2:47 P.M., DC #5 stated that he should have worn the beard restraint to cover his beard and
mustache as soon as he entered the kitchen. DC #5 stated he should have worn the beard restraint so that
no hair fell on the food and for infection control reasons. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 2:58 P.M., DC
#6 stated he should have covered both his beard and mustache while in the kitchen, so that no loose hair
went to the food. During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:11 PM, the Dietary Manager (DM) stated staff should
use hair restraints to cover their beards and mustaches until the beard restraints could be ordered so that
no hair follicles fell in the food to contaminate the food. During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:23 P.M., the
Dietetic Technician Registered (DTR) stated hair restraints to cover the beards and mustaches should have
been used so that hair did not go in the food. During an interview on 12/13/25 at 10:59 A.M., the
Administrator stated hair restraints should be worn before entering the kitchen and should cover the head,
beard, and mustache to prevent contamination of food. A facility policy titled, Food Preparation and Service,
revised April 2019, indicated, Policy Statement - Food and nutrition services employees prepare and serve
food in a manner that complies with safe food handling practices. The section Food Preparation Area
revealed 5. Food preparation staff adhere to proper hygiene and sanitary practices to prevent the spread of
foodborne illness. The section Food Service/Distribution revealed 7. Food and nutrition services staff wear
hair restraints (hair net, hat, beard restraint, etc.[et cetera, and other similar things]) so that hair does not
contact food. 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/10/25 at 10:12 A.M., the Dietary
Manager (DM) indicated ammonium chloride was the sanitizing solution used for pots and pans and when
sanitizing kitchen surfaces. An observation of the DM using QT-40 strips to test two buckets of sanitizing
solution revealed the DM stated the strips' expiration date was 10/15/16, and she would order a new test
strips because they were not effective. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 10:18 A.M., the DM revealed a
chlorine based sanitizing solution was used during the final rinse of the facility's low temperature
dishwashing machine. The DM stated the chlorine test strips' expiration date was June 2024, and she
would order new ones because the strips were not effective. During an interview, on 12/11/25 at 3:23 P.M.,
the DTR stated the dietary staff should have checked the expiration dates of the testing strips used in
checking the concentration of sanitizing solutions. The DTR stated the testing strips should not be expired
to make sure the chemicals sanitized well. During an interview on 12/13/25 at 10:50 A.M., the Administrator
stated the testing strips should not be expired and should be within date to show a true outcome of what
was tested and to avoid false negative testing. A facility policy titled, Sanitization, revised November 2022,

Based on manufacturer guidelines, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure staff sanitized a
blood glucose monitor after checking a resident's blood sugar and before placing the blood glucose monitor
into the medication cart for further use. This affected one (#8) of two residents observed who had their
blood sugar checked during medication administration. The facility census was 71.Findings include:An
admission Record revealed the facility admitted Resident #8 on 12/22/09?and most recently readmitted the
resident on 05/29/21. According to the admission Record,?the resident had a medical history that
included?a diagnosis of type II diabetes mellitus. ? A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS),?with an
Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 10/04/25, revealed Resident #8 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of?three,?which?indicated?the resident had severe cognitive impairment.?The MDS
indicated that the resident had an active diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Resident #8's Care Plan Report
revealed a focus statement initiated 09/23/14, that indicated the resident had a potential for complications
related to diabetes mellitus. Interventions directed staff to monitor and record the resident's blood glucose
checks per their physician's orders. Resident #8's Order Summary Report, with active orders as of
12/08/25, revealed an order dated 09/23/24 for blood sugar level checks to be completed every six hours.
An observation was made on 12/10/25 beginning at 8:00 A.M. during the morning medication
administration. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 removed a blood sugar monitor from the medication cart,
took the monitor into Resident #8's room, and placed the monitor on the resident's bedside table. After
completion of the blood glucose test, LPN #1 took the monitor to the medication cart, placed the monitor
initially on top of the cart, and then opened a drawer and placed the blood glucose monitor back into the
medication cart and stated that she was ready to test the next resident's blood sugar. During an interview
on 12/10/25 at 8:36 A.M., LPN #1 stated that there was no reason she did not sanitize the blood glucose
monitor prior to placing the monitor back into the medication cart. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 11:21
A.M., the Unit Manager/Infection Preventionist (UM/IP) stated that the expectation was for the blood
glucose monitors to be sanitized between each resident to slow the spread of bacteria or other organisms.
The IP stated that cleaning blood glucose monitors was customary practice and not something that just this
facility expected. During a telephone interview on 12/12/25 at 11:46 A.M., Resident #8's Primary Care
Physician (PCP) stated that it was best practice to clean/sanitize the blood glucose monitor between
