Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, policy review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure medical records contained accurate
advance directives. This affected two residents (#39, #61) of 24 residents reviewed.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #39's medical record revealed a [DATE] admission and [DATE] readmission with
diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, dementia, delusional disorders, anxiety disorder,
hyperlipidemia, chronic stage three kidney disease, morbid obesity, hypertension, and atherosclerotic heart
disease.
Review of the paper chart revealed there was a Do-Not-Resuscitate Comfort Care (DNRCC) advanced
directive (a medical order that instructs healthcare professionals to not perform cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) if a resident's heart or breathing stops, but to focus on providing comfort care) page.
On the next page in the paper medical record, there was a signed advanced directive for a DNRCC-A
(Do-Not-Resuscitate Comfort Care-Arrest, a type of Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order that specifies that
resuscitation efforts (like CPR) should not be initiated if a person experiences cardiac or respiratory arrest.
However, until that point, the individual will receive standard medical care for any other illnesses or injuries).
The electronic medical record contained an order for the resident to be a DNRCC-A.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:46 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #230 verified it would be confusing as
to what code status the resident was when the chart was opened. A yellow DNRCC page was the first
advanced directive seen with the resident's name on the name line at the bottom and on the next page of
the paper medical record, a DNRCC-A signed [DATE].
2. Review of Resident #61's medical record revealed a [DATE] admission with diagnoses including
dementia, alcohol induced amnesic disorder, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, conversion disorder with
seizures or convulsions, psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition, restlessness
and agitation, anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder.
Review of the resident's code status revealed when the hard chart was opened there was a blank full code
sheet and a blank DNRCC sheet.
The electronic record had an order for the resident to be a full code.
Interview on [DATE] at 3:46 P.M. with LPN #230 verified the resident had a blank Full Code sheet followed
by a blank DNRCC directive. LPN #230 verified it would be confusing as to what code status the resident
was when the chart was opened.
Interview on [DATE] at 4:52 P.M. with the Director of Nursing revealed they get the signed code status and
upload them on the electric chart. They removed them all from the hard chart. The DON acknowledged the
code status sheets were found on the hard chart and had not been removed from the hard chart. She
indicated they did not have a policy that said the code status was in the electronic record not the hard chart.

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, record review and interview, the facility failed to develop a dental plan of care and
identify triggers for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This affected two (Resident #10 and #40) of 27
residents reviewed. The census was 90.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed a 05/21/24 admission with diagnoses including
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, epileptic seizures, mood disorder,
dysthymic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, malignant neoplasm of lung
and bronchus, history of malignant neoplasm of pancreas, insomnia, and nicotine dependence.
Review of the 05/23/25 Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment revealed the resident was
independent for daily decision making.
Review of the residents' plans of care revealed two plans of care related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A 06/23/25 plan of care revealed the resident had a past traumatic event of transportation accident (car
accident/boat accident/train wreck/plane crash) related to a transportation accident. The problem did not
include what type of transportation accident traumatized the resident. The problem did not include what
triggers would elicit a PTSD reaction.
Further review revealed a 06/23/25 plan of care revealed the resident had a past traumatic event of abuse
from step father. The problem did not include what type of abuse the resident endured from her step father.
The problem did not include what triggers would elicit a PTSD reaction.
Interview on 07/02/25 at 9:48 A.M. with Resident #10 revealed her triggers for PTSD were yelling,
slamming doors, and loud pops. She revealed her Mom and step-dad would shoot at her, put guns to her
head, and break her favorite things. She went to live with an uncle when she was nine trying to get away
from her parents. She shared she was molested by her uncle. He was also abusive and would drag her by
her hair. Lastly, the resident shared she had a couple car accidents where she was hit in the front and back
of the vehicle and totaled (wrecked beyond repair) two cars.
Interview 07/02/25 at 2:20 P.M. with the Director of Nursing verified the plan of care needed to include what
triggers would elicit a PTSD response so staff were aware to avoid triggers.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #40 revealed an admission date of 10/18/23 with diagnosis
that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side,
sickle-cell disease, pain, anxiety disorder, dysphagia and hypertension.
Review of the medial record for Resident #40 revealed an oral assessment indicating Resident #40 had
their own teeth and broken or carious teeth.
Review of the medical revealed no dental/oral care plan was implemented.
Interview on 07/01/25 at 4:25 P.M. with Regional MDS #703 verified no dental/oral care plan was
implemented for Resident #40.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, medical record review, and staff interview the facility failed to store respiratory
equipment in a safe and sanitary manner. This affected one resident (Resident #80) of two residents
reviewed for respiratory care. The facility census was 90.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
A review of Resident #80's medical record reviewed admission date 05/30/25 with the following diagnoses
including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory failure, anxiety, high blood pressure,
and type two diabetes. Resident #80 had intact cognition and required limited assistance from staff to
complete activities of daily living (ADL) tasks.
A review of Resident #80's physician orders revealed an order dated 05/31/25 for the use of a Bilevel
Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP- a type of non-invasive ventilation that helps people with breathing
difficulties) with settings at 12/6 (the amount of inspiratory and expiratory support provided to assist with
easier breathing) at bedtime as needed (PRN) and an order date 05/31/25 to Clean BIPAP mask, after use
daily and PRN, with soap and water, then allow to dry. Keep mask stored properly in allocated bag every
night shift for respiratory care/device care/infection prevention.
A review of Resident #80's Medication Administration Record dated 06/01/25 to 06/30/25 revealed the
order for BIPAP with settings at 12/6 at bedtime as needed (PRN) was not marked as being used by
Resident #80.
An observation on 06/23/25 at 3:19 P.M. revealed Resident #80's BIPAP machine was lying on the floor in
front of the air conditioning unit. There was no barrier under the BIPAP machine and the face mask was
lying on top of the BIPAP machine without a barrier or secured in a plastic bag.
An interview on 06/23/25 at 3:30 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #309 confirmed Resident #80's
BIPAP machine was lying on the floor without a barrier beneath and the BIPAP face mask was lying on top
of the BIPAP machine without a barrier or secured in a plastic bag. LPN #309 stated the BIPAP machine
should not be stored on the floor and the face mask and tubing should be stored in a plastic bag. LPN #309
moved the BIPAP machine from the floor to the desk in the room and removed the face mask and tubing.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on medical record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident was provided with
identified pain was provided with adequate pain control. This affected one resident (#78) of 29 residents
reviewed for care and treatment. The facility census was 90.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #78's medical record revealed a 05/01/25 admission with diagnoses including fracture
of T11-T12 vertebra, protein calorie malnutrition, fracture of first lumbar vertebra, valve endocarditis,
lumbosacral radiculopathy, lumbar spondylosis, muscle wasting and atrophy, difficulty walking, cognitive
communication deficit, idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, low back pain, mood disorder, fatty liver,
intervertebral disc degeneration lumbosacral, hypertension, and irritable bowel.
Review of the 05/06/25 admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment revealed the resident was
independent for daily decision making with no signs or symptoms of delirium and was often socially
isolated. The resident had no functional impairment. He used a walker. The resident was in need of
partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene. The resident received as needed pain medication with
occasional pain.
Interview on 06/23/25 at 1:54 P.M. with Resident #78 revealed the facility ran out of his pain medicine this
past weekend. The resident stated he went from 5:00 A.M. till 11:00 P.M. without pain medication when he
can have it every six hours.
Review of physician orders included an order dated 06/04/25 for oxycodone (narcotic pain medication) 5
milligrams (mg) give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for pain.
Review of the medication administration record (MAR) revealed on 06/21/25 the resident was administered
oxycodone at 6:49 A.M. and 8:54 P.M.
Interview on 06/24/25 at 4:32 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #230 revealed the facility did run
out of the resident's pain medication the morning of 06/21/25. She indicated Registered Nurse (RN) #228
called the pharmacy and they said they needed a new prescription. She revealed they were unable to get
ahold of MED1 (the physician service used by the facility). If they could have reached them they could have
pulled the pain medication from the emergency drug kit (EDKIT). Staff could not get ahold of the physician
group so there was a delay in the resident receiving pain medication. LPN #230 indicated the resident did
ask for the pain medication and she told the resident they were out of his medication. Resident #78 said he
was in pain. The pain was usually in his back. LPN #230 verified she was unable to administer Resident
#78 pain medication during her 12 hour shift.
Review of the MAR revealed Resident #78 was administered oxycodone 5 mg at 8:54 P.M. and routine
ibuprofen at 9:00 P.M. for a pain level of eight.
Interview on 06/25/25 at 10:36 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility did not have a
policy to check all the medications on Friday to make sure there were enough for the weekend. The DON
stated the pharmacy knows when a prescription is expiring and emails her. The DON said this resident's
(#78) prescription came from the Orthopedic physician and not their physician group for the facility. Thus,
she did not receive an email of the prescription expiring.

Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the
food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
Based on observation, interview, sanitizing instructions, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the
staff were properly trained on how to check the sanitization level in the dishwasher. This had the potential to
affect all 90 residents. Facility census was 90.
Findings include:
Review of the dishwasher chemical log from 06/01/25 through 06/22/25 revealed the chemical reading was
200 parts per million (ppm) three times a day every day.
Observation on 06/23/25 at 8:20 A.M. revealed Dietary Supervisor #296 used a test strip to check the
chemical reading in the dishwasher. Dietary Supervisor #296 stated the dishwasher was a low temperature
and used chemicals to sanitize the dishes. Dietary Supervisor #296 was unsure if the chemical level had
been checked on 06/23/25. Dietary Supervisor #296 stated the bleach container was low and needed
replaced. Dietary Supervisor #296 instructed the staff to rewash the dishes that had been done that
morning. The bleach container was replaced and Dietary Supervisor #296 ran the dishwasher five times
and dipped a test strip each time and the test strip did not turn a color (purple) that could be compared to
the color chart provided. An observation at this time also revealed Dietary Aide #264 was scraping plates
and putting the dishes on the racks to go through the dishwasher. An interview with Dietary Aide #264
revealed she was hired in May and was not trained on how to check the chemicals in the dishwasher.
An interview on 06/23/25 at 9:54 A.M. Regional Director of Operations #602 stated the dishwasher was
working correctly but Dietary Supervisor #296 was nervous and was dipping the test strips at the wrong
time.
An interview on 06/25/25 at 11:57 A.M. Dietary Supervisor #296 verified he was dipping the chemical strip
on the rinse cycle instead of the sanitizing cycle.
Review of the instructions to test chlorine levels in a dishwasher using test strips revealed a test load of
dishes should be ran and then a sample collected of the final rinse water. The test strip should be dipped
into the water and for a few seconds and then the color of the strip should be compared to the color chart
provided with the test kit. The color on the strip indicated the chlorine concentration in ppm. The target
concentration was typically 50 to 100 ppm for chlorine-based sanitizers. A more detailed breakdown
included to run a test load to ensure the sanitizer concentration being tested was the same in a typical load.
After the cycle was complete, a sample of the final rinse water should be collected. A good place to collect
from was a cup or other item that had been in the final rinse cycle. Generally, the test strip was dipped into
the water for a few seconds, ensuring the strip was fully submerged. The test strip should be immediately
compared to the color chart provided with the test kit. The closest matching color indicated the chlorine
concentration in ppm. If the concentration was within the recommended range (usually 50-100 ppm for
chlorine) you could be confident the dishwasher was sanitizing properly. If the concentration was too low,
you may need to adjust the sanitizer dispenser or add more sanitizer. If it was too high, you may need to
dilute the solution. Sanitizer solutions can lose effectiveness over time, so it is important to retest the
solution regularly, especially if using chlorine-based sanitizers. Retesting every two hours is a good
practice.

to one tablet twice a day for sepsis/cellulitis for three days. The resident per nurses note did not exhibit any
signs or symptoms of pain or discomfort upon readmission.
Review of the 02/19/25 hospital discharge summary included primary diagnoses of sepsis, cellulitis and
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The report indicated the resident was hospitalized for nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea and suspected sepsis. The resident was administered Vancomycin and Cefepime (both antibiotic
medications) at the hospital due to a CT scan showing cellulitis. Cefepime was discontinued as all cultures
were negative. The resident had leukocytosis >20,000, tachycardia and hypotension which was responsive
to fluid resuscitation, secondary to acute diarrhea illness/cdiff versus virus versus other. A CT scan did not
show acute intra-abdominal pathology but did show abdominal wall edema that could be consistent with left
sided cellulitis. Tender but otherwise no evidence of erythema. Vancomycin was continued for possible
cellulitis. The resident was discharged with Bactrim to complete treatment. The Respiratory Viral Panel was
negative. The cdiff was canceled as no more diarrhea. The urinalysis was clean. The blood culture showed
no growth of organism. The resident was asplenic. The resident had a history of pancreatic cancer. The CT
scan did not show pancreatitis but showed possible cellulitis although there was no visible erythema on
exam. The resident had normal white blood cell count on discharge.

Review of the facility's Antibiotic Stewardship policy (revised December 2016) included when a resident is
admitted from the emergency department, acute care facility, or other care facility, the admitting nurse will
review discharge and transfer paperwork for current antibiotic/anti-infective orders. Discharge or transfer
medical records must include all of the drug and dosing elements including a stop date and indication for
use.
Based on medical record review, facility antibiotic stewardship program review, staff interview and facility
policy review the facility failed to assess for appropriate use and monitor the use of antibiotic medications.
This affected two residents (Residents #10 and #134) out of three residents reviewed for antibiotic use. The
facility's census was 90.
Findings Include:
A review of the medical record for Resident #134 revealed an admission date 05/21/25 with diagnoses
including osteomyelitis of right foot, congestive heart failure (CHF), and type two diabetes. Resident #134
discharged from the facility on 05/25/25.
A review of Resident #134's physician orders revealed an order dated 05/21/25 antibiotic Daptomycin

until 06/22/25, order was discontinued on 05/23/25. An order dated 05/23/25 for antibiotic Daptomycin
Intravenous Solution Reconstituted use 700 milligram (mg) intravenously at bedtime for staph infection of
right foot until 06/22/25, order was discontinued on 05/25/25, and an order dated 05/25/25 for antibiotic
Daptomycin Intravenous Solution Reconstituted use 700 milligram (mg) intravenously at bedtime for staph
infection of right foot until 06/25/25, order was discontinued on 05/27/25.
A review of the facility's antibiotic stewardship tracking logs dated 05/01/25 to 05/31/25 revealed there were
no entries documented for Resident #134's use of antibiotic medication Daptomycin upon admission to the
facility. There was no monitoring form (McGeers) completed to reflect the appropriateness of the use of the
antibiotic medication Daptomycin for Resident #134.
An interview on 07/01/25 at 3:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there was no antibiotic
tracking or monitoring form completed for the Resident #134 upon admission to the facility and the ongoing
use of the antibiotic medication Daptomycin for a wound infection.
Review of the facility's policy titled Antibiotic Stewardship (dated 12/16) revealed the purpose of our
Antibiotic Stewardship Program is to monitor the use of antibiotics in our residents. When a resident is
admitted from the emergency department, acute care facility, or other care facility, the admitting nurse will
review discharge and transfer paperwork for current antibiotic/anti-infective orders.

Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program
in the nursing home.
Based on review of the facility's antibiotic stewardship program and staff interviews the facility failed to
ensure the facility's antibiotic stewardship program was completed by a certified infection control
preventionist (ICP). This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility. The facility's census
was 90.
Findings Include:
A review of the facility's antibiotic stewardship program dated 05/01/25 to 06/30/25 revealed the monthly
tracking logs, trending maps, and the antibiotic criteria forms (McGeers) being completed by the facility's
Director of Nursing (DON). There was no signatures on the monthly tracking logs to reflect an ICP was
monitoring the program.
A review of the facility's infection control program revealed the facility's ICP is the Regional Director of
Clinical Services (RDCS) #601. RDCS #601's ICP certification was received in 12/21/19. There was no ICP
certification on file for the DON.
An interview on 07/01/25 at 2:53 P.M. with the DON revealed the antibiotic stewardship program required
monthly tracking, trending, and completion of the antibiotic criteria forms were being completed by the
DON. The DON does not have an ICP certification. RDCS #601 monitors the facility's antibiotic stewardship
program with the DON actually completing the required documentation.
An interview on 07/01/25 at 3:03 P.M. with RDCS #601 confirmed the facility's DON was completing the
monthly documentation including the trending, tracking and completion of the antibiotic criteria forms for the
facility's antibiotic stewardship program, even though the DON does not have an ICP certification.
