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.

During an interview on 12/12/25 at 10:59 A.M., the Unit Manager/Infection Preventionist (UM/IP), stated Residents #61, #5, and # 58 should not have had a lighter; activities staff should have had them. The UM/IP stated that at the point the lighter was used outside, it should have been a conversation, confiscation, documentation, and notifications to the Director of Nursing (DON), Medical Director (MD), and Responsible Party (RP). He stated that a resident with a lighter could have lit it near supplemental oxygen, could have burned a room down, or could have lost the lighter, and another resident found it. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 1:52 PM, the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) stated the facility policy was that smokers were supervised and lighters were stored in a locked cart. She stated that she had not been made aware Resident #5 and Resident #61 had lighters and was not made aware Resident #58 had a lighter until the previous day (12/11/25). She stated that a resident having a lighter was dangerous because it could start a fire. During an interview on 12/12/25 at 2:17 PM, the IDON stated her expectation was for staff to maintain a safe and hazard-free environment. She stated that she expected the facility to store lighters in a locked bin. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:26 P.M., the Administrator stated that the AD and activity aides oversaw the smoking activity. She stated that the process of smoking was to complete an assessment, explain times and facility policy, and the AD met with them.

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.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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.
