**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview the facility failed to provide a dining table at an appropriate height
to accommodate Resident #57's needs. This affected one resident (#57) of one resident reviewed for
accommodation of needs.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including coronary artery disease, weakness, lack of coordination and pain in left shoulder.
Review of Resident #57's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 12/17/19 revealed the resident
required extensive assistance from one person for bed mobility, transfers, and dressing. For eating, the
resident required supervision and set-up help.
During observation on 02/24/20 at 12:10 P.M., Resident #57 was sitting in her wheelchair at a dining table
in the main ding room. The top of table was level with the resident's upper chest, requiring the resident to
reach up with her arms to access the food. During a subsequent observation on 02/27/20 at 5:10 P.M., the
resident was again observed sitting in her wheelchair in the main dining room reaching up for her food due
to the table being too high for the resident.
During an interview on 02/27/20 at 5:13 P.M. Dietary Manager (DM) #100 confirmed Resident #57 sits
lower than she should be at the dining table. DM #100 revealed the facility had tried different booster seats,
however the resident didn't like either of them. DM #100 revealed she would speak with management
regarding obtaining a new, lower table at an appropriate height for Resident #57.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0
assessments were accurately completed for Resident #53 and Resident #86. This affected two residents
(#53 and #86) of 31 residents whose MDS assessments were reviewed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed an admission dated of 04/02/18 with diagnoses
including chronic kidney disease, cerebral infarction, contracted left elbow and peripheral vascular disease.
Review of a 01/16/20 Skin and Wound Evaluation revealed a new in house acquired right buttock abrasion
measuring 2.0 centimeters (cm) by 5.2 cm with a pink/red wound bed and light serous exudates.
Review of a 01/16/20 Skin and Wound Evaluation revealed an in house acquired left buttock abrasion
measuring 2.8 centimeters (cm) by 2.6 cm with a pink/red wound bed and light serous exudates.
A 01/22/20 nurse's note indicated the physician visualized the areas on the buttocks and reviewed the Skin
and Wound evaluations. The physician was aware of and agrees with the origin of wound being an abrasion
that is healing. Areas show improvement. No pressure injuries noted.
Review of the 01/23/20 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was
independent for daily decision making, required extensive assist of two staff for bed mobility, was totally
dependent of two staff for transfers, did not walk, was at risk for pressure ulcers and had two unhealed
Stage II (partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed,
without slough or bruising. May also present as an intact or open/ ruptured blister) pressure ulcers.
Interview on 02/25/20 at 03:31 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #27 verified the MDS nurse read
the description and thought the areas were Stage II pressure ulcers and coded the MDS as such which
was different than the assessments. LPN #27 verified since the physician visualized the area the day prior
and said they were abrasions not pressure ulcers they should not have been coded pressure ulcers.
2. Review of Resident #86's medical record revealed an admission dated of 12/06/19 with diagnoses
including diabetes, anxiety, depression and history of falling.
Review of the 12/18/19 Discharge MDS 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was discharged to an acute
hospital resulting in a review for hospitalization.
However, review of the corresponding nursing notes revealed the resident was discharged to home
12/18/19 with home health.
Interview on 02/25/20 at 4:46 P.M. with LPN #27 verified the MDS 3.0 assessment was coded in error as
discharge to acute hospital when it should of been discharge to home.

bipolar disorder (05/11/18), mood disorder (05/11/18) and anxiety disorder (11/21/18).
Record review revealed no evidence the PASARR documentation accurately reflected the resident's
diagnosis on the 05/11/18 or the 11/21/18 PASSAR. As of 02/25/20 there was no evidence an accurate and
complete PASSAR had been completed/submitted for Resident #9 to determine if Level II services were
indicated.
Interview on 02/25/20 at 12:31 P.M. with SS #121 verified the diagnoses of bipolar and anxiety disorders
were present on admission and were not captured on the 05/11/18 or 11/21/18 PASARRs. SS #121
revealed a new PASARR new/corrected PASARR should have been completed.
4. Review of Resident #51's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) Identification Screen
dated 11/12/19 revealed diagnoses including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. No other diagnoses were
documented on the PASARR. Further review revealed the resident consented to receiving mental health
and counseling services, did not meet nursing home criteria and her needs could be met in an appropriate
community setting that could provide for her ongoing need for psychiatric support such as a group home or
assisted living facility and these options should be explored for the resident. The resident had been evicted
from her apartment recently and that was why she was being placed in a nursing home until other housing
was found. The resident required assistance with finding other housing.
Medical record review revealed Resident #51 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid
schizophrenia, catatonic schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder.

was impaired for daily decision making, the resident and family/significant other participated in the
assessment and the family/significant other, not the resident, indicated the expectation was the resident
was to remain within the facility.

diagnoses of major depression disorder and anxiety disorder, or regarding the resident staying long term at
the facility.
On 02/25/20 at 12:22 P.M. and 12:50 P.M., interview with SS #121 revealed she had not reviewed Resident
#51's PASRR because she only looked at them if she was told to do one. SS #121 verified a new PASARR
should have been submitted with the addition of new diagnoses and the plan to remain at the facility long
term.

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to ensure the justified use of narcotic pain
medication for Resident #284 and Resident #58. The facility failed to ensure parameters were in place
related to medication administration, failed to ensure medication was administered only after a
comprehensive pain assessment had been completed and/or failed to ensure evidence of
non-pharmacological interventions prior to the medication administration. This affected two residents (#58
and #284) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medication use. The facility identified five residents on
a pain management program.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #284's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/15/20 with diagnoses
including osteoarthritis and an artificial hip joint.
A 02/15/20 plan of care was developed for actual pain acute/chronic related to chronic pain and history of
back pain. The plan of care revealed the use of non pharmacological interventions.
Review of the 02/20/20 admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was
independent for daily decision making with no mood or behaviors identified. The resident received routine
and as needed pain medication for a frequent pain level of a ten on a scale of 0-10 that affected sleep.

administered.
2. Medical record review revealed Resident #58 was readmitted after a hospitalization on 02/16/20 with
diagnoses including prostate cancer, constipation and history of fecal impaction.
Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) dated February 2020 revealed
Oxycodone HCL, an opioid five milligrams (mg) every four hours was to be given as needed for severe
pain. The order did not indicate what was determined to be severe pain for Resident #58.
Further review of the eMAR dated 02/03/20 to 02/25/20 revealed Resident #58 was administered the
Oxycodone HCL, 5 mg once for a pain rated at a level of two, once for a pain rated at a level of three, twice
for a pain rated a level of four and five times for a pain rated a level of five.
Review of the care plan titled At Risk for Pain and Has Chronic Pain, revised 02/17/20 revealed an
acceptable pain level for the resident was a three out of 10. Interventions included to administer
medications as ordered and evaluate characteristics of pain on a scale of zero to 10. Further review of the
care plan revealed no interpretation of mild, moderate or severe pain on a scale of zero to 10 for Resident
#58.
On 02/24/20 at 2:48 P.M., interview with Resident #58 revealed he had pain in his back and legs, he was
bedridden and medication was not always given timely for pain relief.
On 02/26/20 at 6:01 P.M. interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #1 verified there were no
physician parameters indicating what severe pain was in order to administer the Oxycodone HCL 5 mg.
ADON #1 verified the resident's care plan indicated an acceptable pain level was a three out of 10 and the
resident had received Oxycodone for pain that had been care planned as being acceptable for the resident.
ADON #1 further stated severe pain would be rated as a seven to 10.
On 02/26/20 at 6:25 P.M. interview with ADON #1 verified the physician's pain scale was not clear and
clarification was needed stating the current pain medication PRN order was subjective and did not indicate
what severe pain was to be rated by the resident in order to administer the opioid.
Review of the policy titled Pain Management, revised October 2019 revealed the facility was to evaluate
and identify residents for pain, determine the type, location and severity and develop a care plan for pain
management. Staff was to implement the care plan, monitor and administer therapeutic interventions for
pain, if ordered.

record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #190's medical record was complete and
accurate related to infection and antibiotic use. This affected one resident (#190) of 31 residents whose
medical records were reviewed.
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #190 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]
after a hospitalization. The resident's diagnosis list indicated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) detected on
02/20/20.
Review of Resident #190's hospital discharge orders, dated 02/20/20 revealed an order for the antibiotic,
Amoxicillin-pot clavulanate 875 milligrams (mg) every 12 hours for seven days (quantity #14).
Review of Resident #190's medication administration records (MAR) dated 02/2020 revealed on 02/21/20
an order was entered for Amoxicillin 875 mg one tablet by mouth every 12 hours for bacterial infection for 7
days. The order was discontinued and rewritten on 02/21/20 for Amoxicillin 875-125 mg one tablet every 12
hours for RSV for ten (10) days.
Further review of Resident #190's medical record revealed no evidence the Amoxicillin was changed to 10
days nor evidence the facility obtained the laboratory testing to confirm the RSV.
Review of the February infection control log dated 02/2020 revealed no evidence Resident #190 was noted
on the infection control log nor was a McGeer paper completed to ensure the resident met the criteria for
treatment of the infection.
Interview on 02/25/20 at 2:31 P.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #3 verified there was no documented
evidence the Amoxicillin was changed from seven days to ten days. RN reported she called the physician
and clarified the order was for twice daily for seven days not 10 days. The RN reported the infection control
nurse did not document the resident's RSV on the February 2020 infection control log and the McGeer
criteria form was not in the log, however she had completed the McGeer criteria form and it was in her
desk. The facility called to get the laboratory testing to confirm the RSV following surveyor intervention.
