Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the closed medical record, interviews, and review of facility policies and procedures, the facility
failed to ensure the physician was notified of a change in condition for Resident #60. This affected one
resident (Resident #60) of three reviewed for change in condition.
Findings included:
Review of the closed medical record revealed Resident #60 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including respiratory failure, pneumonia, encephalopathy, protein-calorie malnutrition,
thyrotoxicosis, asthma, epilepsy, pacemaker status, transient ischemic attacks, tracheostomy, anxiety
disorder, depression, acute kidney failure, adult failure to thrive, and diabetes. Resident #60 passed away at
the hospital on [DATE].
Review of a plan of care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 was a full code. Interventions included
(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) CPR to be initiated in the event of cardiac arrest and to notify the
physician of a change in condition.
Review of hospital discharge paperwork for Resident #60 revealed she was admitted to the hospital on
[DATE] and was discharged back to the facility on [DATE]. The hospital discharge information noted the
resident was still a full code, her transfer of care prognosis was poor, and they submitted education material
related to community-acquired pneumonia (including instructions to contact the healthcare provider for
worsening shortness of breath) with new orders for the antibiotic, Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily
(with no specified length of time), and no new orders for oxygen therapy. There were no medical notes
related to radiologic studies, laboratory services, specific diagnoses, or physician/nurses notes available to
review from the resident's hospital stay.
Review of the Respiratory Therapy (RT) progress note dated [DATE] at 12:36 A.M. revealed Resident #60
arrived at the facility at approximately 9:45 P.M. [indicating the night before, on [DATE]]. The resident's
saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) was 92 percent (%) to 93% on five liters of oxygen (via
tracheostomy). The note included the resident was suctioned four times with a small amount of thick white
secretions obtained. The RT suggested the nurse's suction the resident about every two to three hours to
keep the resident's airway clear. The RT checked the resident's inner cannula for patency, placed it back in
and changed the gauze under the tracheostomy.
Review of the progress note dated [DATE] at 5:43 P.M. revealed the physician was in for a visit and ordered
the antibiotic Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily for 10 days for pneumonia, clarifying the length of time
the resident was to be on the antibiotic. The resident's responsible party (RP)

to COVID-19. Interventions included notifying the physician of a worsening condition and to complete a
respiratory assessment per facility protocol.
Review of the plan of care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 was at risk for respiratory complications
related to tracheostomy status and was at risk for dislodgement due to her removing her tracheostomy
(nursing progress notes included incidents of resident removal on [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE]).
Interventions included administering humidified oxygen as prescribed, assessing respiratory rate, depth
and quality every shift, assessing tracheostomy incision for redness, warmth, tenderness and exudate,
ensuring tracheostomy ties were secured, and suction as necessary. Record review revealed there was no
documented evidence of a respiratory/tracheostomy care plan prior to [DATE].
Review of the nursing progress note (authored by LPN #500) dated [DATE] at 7:11 A.M. revealed Resident
#60 was having labored breathing when LPN #500 arrived for her shift [the LPN worked on [DATE] at 7:00
P.M. through [DATE] at 7:00 A.M.]. In shift report, the off going nurse stated Resident #60 was positive for
COVID-19. LPN #500 noted at 7:00 P.M. [on [DATE]] she administered night medications and checked the
resident's SpO2 which was 92%. Resident #60 was suctioned and very little mucous came out. At around
11:00 P.M. [on [DATE]] while the nursing assistants were doing rounds the nurse checked on Resident #60
and she was still having labored breathing and at that time she called the RT [RT #700] to check and see
what the resident's baseline (condition) was. The RT informed her that this was the resident's normal. She
suctioned her and the resident's SpO2 was 98%. The nursing assistants did rounds at 1:30 A.M. [on
[DATE]] with no change in the resident status. Resident #60 was suctioned at 3:30 A.M. with a small
amount of mucous obtained. The note included the nurse visually laid eyes on the resident around 4:45
A.M. At approximately 5:10 A.M. the nurse headed down the hall and noticed Resident #60 did not seem to
be breathing. She checked for a pulse, called for help, had the aide get a second nurse, and the crash cart.
The second nurse called the EMS, a board was placed under the resident, a third nurse began CPR, and
the writer/nurse gave breaths through an Ambu-bag. The second nurse took over for this nurse and she
went to the nurse's station to print out her face sheet and medication list. EMS arrived and took over
performing CPR. The daughter was notified immediately, and the physician was called to inform her of the
situation, but she did not answer. It was noted also that at some point between 11:00 P.M. and midnight, the
resident's daughter had called the facility for an update and the nurse informed her of what the RT told her
about the resident being at her baseline.
Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at 5:31 A.M. revealed Resident #60 was transported to
the hospital via EMS with CPR in progress to the hospital.
Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at 7:57 A.M. revealed the facility received a call from the
hospital indicating Resident #60 had passed away.
Review of Resident #60's nurse's notes and RT notes from [DATE] through [DATE] revealed no
documented evidence that the resident had previously had labored breathing or that it was normal for the
resident.
On [DATE] at 11:35 A.M. an interview with Regional Registered Nurse #522 revealed Physician #511 was
not actually in the building as charted on [DATE] at 7:50 P.M. However, Resident #60 was being treated for
pneumonia and yellow secretions at that time. Regional Registered Nurse #522 stated she was not with the
company in [DATE]; Additionally, the nurse who wrote the late entry note (Regional Nurse #600) no longer
worked for the company.

On [DATE] at 11:50 A.M. an interview with Physician #511 revealed Resident #60 was aphasic (unable to
speak) after a stroke, she had a tracheostomy and had several re-hospitalizations due to respiratory failure
and sepsis. She stated she had spoken to the family several times about updating the resident's code
status from full code to do-not-resuscitate (DNR), but they would not change it. She verified she was never
called on the night Resident #60 expired. She stated with this resident; she would have had her transferred
to the hospital if she was having labored breathing. She stated the only thing she could think of as to why
they did not call her or send her out was because there had been times when she was having trouble
breathing and she had a mucous plug. She stated the nurses were usually able to suction it out and the
resident would be fine afterwards. She stated that she could not speak for the nurse on duty regarding why
the nurse did not call her.
On [DATE] at 3:56 P.M. an interview with LPN #500 revealed she had not worked at the facility in a while,
and this day [[DATE] into [DATE]] was her first time working with Resident #60. She stated she received
report from the previous nurse, but she was unsure of the nurse's name. She stated the only thing the
previous nurse told her was that Resident #60 had COVID-19, she was pretty much okay, and she was in
isolation. She stated she received a call from the resident's daughter around 11:00 P.M. calling to check up
on her mom. She stated when she went in to give Resident #60 her medication, she was having trouble
breathing so she asked the nursing assistant if it was normal and the nursing assistant stated sometimes
the resident had trouble breathing. She stated she called the RT [RT #700] on Facetime and turned the
camera around to ask her if her breathing was normal and she also asked the RT if the resident was on
hospice. The LPN revealed the resident did not talk, but was awake. She stated the RT told her the resident
was like that [indicating her breathing was normal], and the RT never told her Resident #60 might have a
mucous plug. She stated she attempted to suction her three times and did not get hardly any mucous out.
She stated if she would have known about the mucus plug, she would have done something, but stated she
was not told this until after the resident had passed away. She stated other staff told her that she needed to
put saline in the resident's tracheostomy to loosen up secretions. She stated Resident #60 was completely
dry when she suctioned her. LPN #500 stated she had never had to put saline down a tracheostomy before
so she would have had to have someone show her how to do that. She stated she did not go get the other
nurse for assistance with the resident until she found the resident not breathing. She stated she called a
code [indicating an emergency code for staff to respond as a resident needed immediate medical attention,
usually due to cardiac or respiratory arrest], and the other two nurses came over and started CPR. The
squad got to the facility fast and took over CPR. She stated she called the daughter and the physician to
notify them of what had happened. She stated the doctor did not seem surprised. She stated she never
thought to call the doctor earlier in the night because the RT told her this was normal for the resident.
On [DATE] at 5:10 P.M. an interview with RT #700 revealed she had been the RT for the facility since 2000.
She stated the nurses would Facetime her after hours (when she wasn't working onsite) if they needed to.
She was knowledgeable about Resident #60 and stated Resident #60 would get a mucous plug quite often
and they would have to suction her very vigorously to get the mucous plug out. She stated when she had a
mucus plug, her oxygen saturations would drop, but she would be fine after they removed the mucous plug.
She stated it was a little hard to tell with the resident if she had mucous because staff could not always tell
when the resident needed suctioned. She stated with most people you could automatically tell if they
needed suctioned, but not with Resident #60, so she always told the nurses to make sure they went in and
suctioned her even if she did not look like she needed suctioned. She stated the night Resident #60 passed
away, LPN #500 called her and asked her if Resident #60 always

looked like she was distressed and RT #700 told her yes, she always looked a little bit distressed. She
stated her oxygen saturation was up and down, but stated she did not believe the resident's oxygen
saturations would be up in the 92% and 98% range if she had a mucous plug. She stated LPN #500 called
her around 11:30 P.M. and at that time she did not believe Resident #60 needed to be transferred to the
hospital. She stated she had been off that day, so she didn't treat Resident #60 that day. She stated her
schedule was to work four days per week from 3:00 P.M. through 11:00 P.M. and that she was the only RT
on staff for the facility so she was on-call at all other times.
On [DATE] at 10:40 A.M. an interview with Vital Statistics Staff #400 revealed Resident #60's death
certificate indicated she expired from respiratory failure.
On [DATE] at 11:15 A.M. an interview with Family Member #817 revealed she called the nursing home for
an update every couple hours for Resident #60. She stated on [DATE] the last time she had called the
nursing home to check on her mother was around 2:30 A.M. She stated it was LPN #500's first night
working with her mother and the nurse told her she had called the RT to get Resident #60's baseline. She
stated LPN #500 never told her that her mother was having trouble breathing or had labored breathing. She
stated the only time her mother had trouble breathing was when she got junky and needed to be suctioned,
then she would be fine. She stated her mother was fidgety and would grab at her tracheostomy and feeding
tube, but she had brought in fidget toys for her to play with and they did help with her grabbing at stuff.
Review of the facility policy titled, Change in Residents Condition or Status, dated [DATE] revealed the
facility would promptly notify the resident, his or her attending physician, and the RP of changes in the
resident's medical or mental condition and/or status. The nurse would notify the resident's physician or
physician on-call when there had been an incident involving the resident, significant change in the resident
physical or mental condition, and the need to transfer the resident to the hospital.

to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview with residents and staff, the facility failed to ensure the linens were free from
stains. This affected one resident (Resident #39) and had the potential to affect all the residents in the
facility who utilized the facility linens. The facility census was 60.
Findings included:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included chronic respiratory failure, diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, schizoaffective disorder, personality
disorder, lymphedema, paranoid personality, kidney disease, congestive heart failure, edema, hypertension,
depression, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #39 had
moderately impaired cognition and had no behaviors.
On 05/20/25 at 3:00 P.M. an interview with Resident #39 revealed the washcloths and towels in the facility
were stained and dingy. He stated they were not white at all and they want you to wash your face with them.
Observation of linen closets on 05/21/25 at 3:00 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #316 revealed
the wash clothes, hand towels and bath towels were light brown in color with several larger brown stains on
them. She stated they are all like that. She stated they did not have incontinence wipes anymore, so they
had to use wash cloths and towels to clean up bowel movements (BM). She stated the stains did not come
out of them in the wash.
On 05/22/25 at 8:45 A.M. an interview with Laundry Manager #710 revealed all the wash cloths and towels
in both linen closets (a total of 15 bath towels, two hand towels and eight wash cloths) were light brown in
color, some with larger stains, and some of the wash cloths and towels were worn and thin. She stated this
was all she had, and she had been washing the same ones for a while. She stated they ordered more a few
weeks ago, but they had not been delivered. She stated the nursing assistants would clean up resident's
BM with the washcloths and just throw them away. She stated they stopped purchasing incontinence wipes
and they had been having problems with running out of wash cloths and towels ever since. She stated they
had been looking dingy because the same ones are getting used over and over.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the medical record and interview with staff the facility failed to ensure transportation was set up
for a postoperative appointment for Resident #52. This affected one resident (#52) of three reviewed for
appointments.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included cervical disc disorder, spinal stenosis, diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis of the hip, injury to the cauda equina, benign prostatic
hyperplasia, sleep apnea, depression, asthma, anxiety disorder, alcohol abuse, gout, fracture of the
cervical vertebrae, fusion of the spine and fluid overload.
Review of the hospital discharge paperwork provided to the facility dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #52
had a post operative appointment with the surgeon on 04/07/25 at 9:30 A.M.
Review of the physician's order dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #52 had a post operative appointment
with the surgeon on 04/07/25 at 9:30 A.M. The order did not specify anything related to obtaining an X-ray
prior to the appointment.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #52 had
moderately impaired cognition. He was frequently incontinent of bladder and always continent of bowel.
Review of the physician's order dated 03/28/25 revealed Resident #52 had a new post operative
appointment with the surgeon on 04/15/25 at 11:15 A.M. The order stated that transportation wound need
set up prior to the appointment and the resident was to go first to radiology at the main hospital, and to the
medical office building immediately after.
On 05/21/25 at 11:50 A.M. an interview with Neurosurgery Medical Assistant #100 revealed the office was
having issues with the lack of communication with the facility regarding the follow-up care for Resident #52.
She stated the resident never showed up for his follow up appointment on 04/07/25 so it had to be
rescheduled for 04/15/25. She stated he was 30 minutes late for his appointment on 04/15/25 and they
never took him to have his X-rays completed prior to his appointment, like the order stated to do. She stated
they went ahead and saw him and then sent him down after his appointment to have the X-rays completed.
On 05/21/25 at 4:01 P.M. an interview with Regional Registered Nurse #522 revealed she was not sure
what happened on the 04/07/25 appointment for Resident #52, but she believed it was due to
transportation not being available. She stated the appointment was rescheduled for 04/15/25 and his son
took him to that appointment. She stated she did not know anything about an X-ray prior to the appointment
or if it was completed.
On 05/21/25 at 4:25 P.M. an interview with Resident #52 revealed he never went to his appointment with
the surgeon on 04/07/25 because the facility never set up the transportation. He stated he had rescheduled
the appointment for 04/15/25. He stated his family did not take him to that appointment, he went there with
a transport company and his family met him there. He stated the transport driver gave him a business card
to call him when he was done with his appointment, but he did not want to

Findings included:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included hemiplegia of the left side after cerebrovascular disease, contractures of the left arm, major
depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, hypertension, pressure ulcers to the left and right heel, hypertensive
retinopathy, insomnia, age related cataract, drusen of the left eye, and xerosis cutis.
Review of the admission Braden Scale (pressure ulcer risk assessment) dated 04/11/25 revealed Resident
#42 was at a high risk for the development of pressure injuries.
Review of the admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #42 had an unstageable (full
thickness tissue loss where the base of the ulcer was obscured by slough (a yellowish, tan or green, moist,
loose and stringy tissue that was present in the wound bed) and/or eschar (dead tissue)) pressure ulcer to
the right heel which measured 4.5 centimeters (cm) by 4.3 cm by undetermined depth and a Stage III
pressure ulcer to the left heel which measured 7.0 cm by 11.4 cm by an unable to determine (UTD) depth.
Review of the admission Skin Grid dated 04/11/25 revealed Resident #42 was admitted to the facility with
an unstageable right heel pressure ulcer which measured 6.0 cm by 6.0 cm with 80 percent necrotic tissue
and 20 percent slough tissue. There was heavy serous drainage. It also noted that Resident #42 was also
admitted with a Stage III left heel pressure ulcer which measured 8.0 cm by 16 cm with heavy serous
drainage.
Review of the Plan of Care dated 04/15/25 revealed Resident #42 was at risk for skin breakdown related to
bowel and bladder incontinence, decreased bed mobility, and previous pressure ulcer. Interventions
included treatments and preventative skin care as ordered, pressure relieving device or mattress to the bed
to promote comfort and prevent skin breakdown, supplements as ordered, apply house moisture barrier as
needed, assist with cleaning the perineal area, assistance with transfers and bed mobility, avoid friction and
shearing, encourage and assist with turning and repositioning with routine rounds, encourage the resident
to lay down after meals, encourage the resident to not stay up in the chair too long and change positions
frequently, encourage to float heels, and a pressure relieving cushion to the chair.
Further review of the Plan of Care dated 04/15/25, and revised on 05/20/25, revealed Resident #42 had an
actual skin integrity alteration/pressure areas to the right heel, left heel, right axillary and left great toe.
Interventions included assessing pain, encourage and assist with turning and repositioning, resident to be
followed by the in-facility wound team, initiate wound treatments, keeping skin clean and dry, notify the
physician as needed of worsening wound conditions, pressure reliving device to the chair, supplements as

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed record review, review of hospital records, facility policy and procedure review and interview, the
facility failed to timely identify a change in Resident #60's respiratory condition to ensure the resident was
provided timely and adequate care. This affected one resident (#60) of three residents reviewed for death.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual harm occurred beginning on [DATE] when the facility failed to adequately and timely treat respiratory
complications exhibited by Resident #60, who was a Full Code (advance directives), non-verbal and had a
tracheostomy, which included labored breathing, the resident testing positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
and being treated with an antibiotic for pneumonia. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #500, who had not
provided care to Resident #60 prior to [DATE], failed to notify Physician #511 regarding Resident #60's
labored breathing as well as the resident having no secretions when suctioned. Resident #60 was found on
[DATE] at 5:10 A.M. by LPN #500 with no vital signs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated,
and Resident #60 was transferred to the hospital.
Findings included:
Review of the closed medical record revealed Resident #60 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including respiratory failure, pneumonia, encephalopathy, protein-calorie malnutrition,
thyrotoxicosis, asthma, epilepsy, pacemaker status, transient ischemic attacks, tracheostomy, anxiety
disorder, depression, acute kidney failure, adult failure to thrive, and diabetes. Resident #60 passed away at
the hospital on [DATE].
Review of a handwritten baseline plan of care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 had behaviors related to
touching and manipulating her tracheostomy. Interventions included one on one and conversations to calm
and reassure.
Review of a handwritten baseline plan of care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 had behaviors related to
touching and manipulating her tracheostomy. Interventions included using towels or fidget balls for
diversional activity, educating the need to not handle her tracheostomy, and medication review related to
anxiety.
Review of the progress note dated [DATE] at 12:30 P.M. revealed Resident #60 was suctioned via inline
suction, oxygen continued at four liters (L) and her oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 95 percent (%)(normal
range being 95% to 100%, though some people with chronic respiratory issues may have a normal range
around 90%). Resident #60's daughter was at the facility earlier and Resident #60 was suctioned, pulled up
in bed, in an upright position, oxygen was at four liters, and a nebulizer treatment was given. SpO2 was
maintained at 90% to 94%. Resident #60 was alert, and her skin was warm and dry to touch. Resident
#60's daughter requested if anything changed to give her a call. At 12:30 A.M. Resident #60's daughter was
notified Resident #60 was suctioned and her SpO2 was 95%.
Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at 1:48 A.M. revealed at 12:30 A.M., Resident #60 was
suctioned and her oxygen continued to be at four liters with a SpO2 level of 95%. At 1:15 A.M. the nurse
was called to the resident's room by the nursing assistant, stating the resident did not look right. Once at
the bedside the resident's eyes were rolled back in her head, she was able to move her arms and her SpO2
was 70% on four liters of oxygen, she was warm to touch and continued to be non-responsive. The
resident's SpO2 was dropping to 60% on oxygen via her tracheostomy. Attempts to

suction her obtained no secretions. Resident #60 continued to have shallow breath and her SpO2 was
continuing to drop. The nurse called for assistance from the registered nurse on the other floor, a
non-rebreather venti-mask was obtained and connected to the oxygen. The resident's SpO2 was not
improving. Resident #60's respirations stopped, and (chest) compressions were started. Resident #60 was
not breathing. The Artificial Manual Breathing Unit (Ambu)-bag was connected to her oxygen
(tracheostomy) and rescue breaths were continued until Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived.
Rescue measures continued and a heart rate of 95 beats per minute (bpm)(normal ranges from 60 to 100
bpm) showed on the monitor. The resident was taken to the hospital and the daughter was called.
Review of a progress note dated [DATE] at 3:24 A.M. revealed Resident #60 was at the hospital and placed
on a Bipap (machine that supports breathing) and a further update could be obtained at a later time. A
progress noted dated [DATE] at 3:32 A.M. revealed the hospital stated Resident #60 was on a ventilator
and admitted for further observation.
Review of the hospital notes from [DATE] revealed Resident #60 was admitted to the hospital for acute on
chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia. It noted the resident was found to be unresponsive by nursing home
staff and CPR was initiated. Upon arrival at the hospital the resident had a decent amount of secretions
from her tracheostomy and some dried secretions, and there was concern for a possible mucus plug. The
resident was placed on a ventilator. The notes included the resident was cachectic (an appearance of
extreme loss of muscle and fat mass, often associated with chronic illness) and ill appearing. The notes
indicate a high troponin level (indicating damage to the heart muscle) and a high white blood cell count
(indicating an infection). The hospital nurse practitioner noted diagnostic impressions as acute on chronic
hypoxemic respiratory failure status post chronic tracheostomy, severe sepsis, suspected aspiration
pneumonia, and a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)(a type of heart attack where a part of
the heart isn't getting enough oxygen). Cardiology was consulted and blood cultures were obtained. There
were no additional medical notes related to additional radiologic studies, laboratory services, specific
diagnoses, discharge orders, or physician/nurse's notes available to review from the resident's hospital stay.
Review of a plan of care dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 was a full code. Interventions included CPR
to be initiated in the event of cardiac arrest and to notify the physician of a change in condition.
Review of a progress note dated [DATE] timed 3:04 P.M. revealed Resident #60 was re-admitted to facility.
There were no additional notes or records related to updates to the resident's status, discharge plans or
discharge orders.
Review of Resident #60's physician's orders, dated [DATE] and discontinued on [DATE], revealed the
resident was placed on a ventilator at assisted control with settings for Tidal volume (amount of air
delivered for each breath) at 18 for 350 milliliters and the Positive End-Expiatory Pressure (the pressure
remaining in the residents airways at the end of exhalation) at positive 5.0. The orders also included an
order for oxygen to maintain SpO2 greater than 92% and an order to suction via tracheostomy as needed
for pulmonary hygiene from [DATE] to [DATE].
Review of the Respiratory Therapist (RT) note dated [DATE] at 11:42 P.M. revealed the nurse called the RT
at home via Facetime (a video phone call). The nurse was not able to get the low Tidal volume alarm on the
ventilator to stop. The RT suggested several options and nothing worked. The RT instructed the nurse to put
the resident back on oxygen, and she was on her way into the facility. Upon arrival, the RT noticed the
resident needed suctioned which she had watched the nurse do while they

and called for the code cart. The RT began bagging 15 liters of oxygen to assist the resident. No chest
compressions were necessary, only assistance with breathing. Resident #60's SpO2 remained 58% to 65%
until the paramedics arrived.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of hospital discharge paperwork for Resident #60 revealed she was admitted to the hospital on
[DATE] and was discharged back to the facility on [DATE]. The hospital discharge information noted the
resident was still a full code, her transfer of care prognosis was poor, and they submitted education material
related to community-acquired pneumonia (including instructions to contact the healthcare provider for
worsening shortness of breath) with new orders for the antibiotic, Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily
(with no specified length of time), and no new orders for oxygen therapy. There were no medical notes
related to radiologic studies, laboratory services, specific diagnoses, or physician/nurses notes available to
review from the resident's hospital stay.
Review of the RT progress note dated [DATE] at 12:36 A.M. revealed Resident #60 arrived at the facility at
approximately 9:45 P.M. [indicating the night before, on [DATE]]. The resident's SpO2 was 92% to 93% on
five liters of oxygen (via tracheostomy). The resident was not ventilator dependent upon her re-admission
on [DATE]. The note included the resident was suctioned four times with a small amount of thick white
secretions obtained. The RT suggested the nurse's suction the resident about every two to three hours to
keep the resident's airway clear. The RT checked the resident's inner cannula for patency, placed it back in
and changed the gauze under the tracheostomy.
Review of the progress note dated [DATE] at 5:43 P.M. revealed the physician was in for a visit and ordered
the antibiotic Doxycycline 100 milligrams twice daily for 10 days for pneumonia, clarifying the length of time
the resident was to be on the antibiotic. The resident's responsible party (RP) was notified.
Review of the RT progress note dated [DATE] at 10:28 P.M. revealed Resident #60 was on three liters of
oxygen with a SpO2 of 98%. The RT decreased her to two liters of oxygen and her SpO2 was 97%. She
was suctioned three times with a moderate amount of thick white secretions obtained without incident. She
was given two scheduled breathing treatments which she tolerated well. Tracheostomy care was completed,
and the inner cannula was examined for patency and put back in place.
Review of the RT progress note dated [DATE] at 10:04 P.M. revealed Resident #60 remained on two liters of
oxygen with a SpO2 of 97%. She received two scheduled breathing treatments, and she tolerated them
well. She was suctioned four times with moderate amounts of very thick white secretions obtained without
incident. Tracheostomy care was completed, and the inner cannula was examined for patency and put back
in place.
Review of the Five-Day Medicare Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 had
severely impaired cognition and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL). The MDS
included Resident #60 was on continuous oxygen therapy, required intermittent suctioning, had a
tracheostomy and was admitted with an invasive mechanical ventilator.
Review of Resident #60's [DATE] physicians orders revealed the resident was a full code (indicating CPR
was to be performed if someone's heart stopped beating or their breathing stopped), tracheostomy to be
changed every three months, tracheostomy care twice daily, vital signs twice daily, change tracheostomy
dressing every night shift and as needed, droplet isolation precautions due to COVID-19, monitor for signs

Resident #60 was having labored breathing when LPN #500 arrived for her shift [the LPN worked on
[DATE] at 7:00 P.M. through [DATE] at 7:00 A.M.]. In shift report, the off going nurse stated Resident #60
was positive for COVID-19. LPN #500 noted at 7:00 P.M. [on [DATE]] she administered night medications
and checked the resident's SpO2 which was 92%. Resident #60 was suctioned and very little mucous came
out. At around 11:00 P.M. [on [DATE]] while the nursing assistants were doing rounds the nurse checked on
Resident #60 and she was still having labored breathing and at that time she called the RT [RT #700] to
check and see what the resident's baseline (condition) was. The RT informed her that this was the
resident's normal. She suctioned her and the resident's SpO2 was 98%. The nursing assistants did rounds
at 1:30 A.M. [on [DATE]] with no change in the resident status. Resident #60 was suctioned at 3:30 A.M.
with a small amount of mucous obtained. The note included the nurse visually laid eyes on the resident
around 4:45 A.M. At approximately 5:10 A.M. the nurse headed down the hall and noticed Resident #60 did
not seem to be breathing. She checked for a pulse, called for help, had the aide get a second nurse, and
the crash cart. The second nurse called the EMS, a board was placed under the resident, a third nurse
began CPR, and the writer/nurse gave breaths through an Ambu-bag. The second nurse took over for this
nurse and she went to the nurse's station to print out her face sheet and medication list. EMS arrived and
took over performing CPR. The daughter was notified immediately, and the physician was called to inform
her of the situation, but she did not answer. It was noted also that at some point between 11:00 P.M. and
midnight, the resident's daughter had called the facility for an update and the nurse informed her of what
the RT told her about the resident being at her baseline.
Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at 5:31 A.M. revealed Resident #60 was transported to
the hospital via EMS with CPR in progress to the hospital.
Review of the nursing progress note dated [DATE] at 7:57 A.M. revealed the facility received a call from the
hospital indicating Resident #60 had passed away.
Review of Resident #60's nurse's notes and RT notes from [DATE] through [DATE] revealed no
documented evidence that the resident had previously had labored breathing or that it was normal for the
resident.
On [DATE] at 11:35 A.M. an interview with Regional Registered Nurse #522 revealed Physician #511 was
not actually in the building as charted on [DATE] at 7:50 P.M. However, Resident #60 was being treated for
pneumonia and yellow secretions at that time. Regional Registered Nurse #522 stated she was not with the
company in [DATE]; Additionally, the nurse who wrote the late entry note (Regional Nurse #600) no longer
worked for the company.
On [DATE] at 11:50 A.M. an interview with Physician #511 revealed Resident #60 was aphasic (unable to
speak) after a stroke, she had a tracheostomy and had several re-hospitalizations due to respiratory failure
and sepsis. She stated she had spoken to the family several times about updating the resident's code
status from full code to do-not-resuscitate (DNR), but they would not change it. She verified she was never
called on the night Resident #60 expired. She stated with this resident; she would have had her transferred
to the hospital if she was having labored breathing. She stated the only thing she could think of as to why
they did not call her or send her out was because there had been times when she was having trouble
breathing and she had a mucous plug. She stated the nurses were usually able to suction it out and the
resident would be fine afterwards. She stated that she could not speak for the nurse on duty regarding why
the nurse did not call her.
On [DATE] at 3:56 P.M. an interview with LPN #500 revealed she had not worked at the facility in a

while, and this day [[DATE] into [DATE]] was her first time working with Resident #60. She stated she
received report from the previous nurse, but she was unsure of the nurse's name. She stated the only thing
the previous nurse told her was that Resident #60 had COVID-19, she was pretty much okay, and she was
in isolation. She stated she received a call from the resident's daughter around 11:00 P.M. calling to check
up on her mom. She stated when she went in to give Resident #60 her medication, she was having trouble
breathing so she asked the nursing assistant if it was normal and the nursing assistant stated sometimes
the resident had trouble breathing. She stated she called the RT [RT #700] on Facetime and turned the
camera around to ask her if her breathing was normal and she also asked the RT if the resident was on
hospice. The LPN revealed the resident did not talk, but was awake. She stated the RT told her the resident
was like that [indicating her breathing was normal], and the RT never told her Resident #60 might have a
mucous plug. She stated she attempted to suction her three times and did not get hardly any mucous out.
She stated if she would have known about the mucus plug, she would have done something, but stated she
was not told this until after the resident had passed away. She stated other staff told her that she needed to
put saline in the resident's tracheostomy to loosen up secretions. She stated Resident #60 was completely
dry when she suctioned her. LPN #500 stated she had never had to put saline down a tracheostomy before
so she would have had to have someone show her how to do that. She stated she did not go get the other
nurse for assistance with the resident until she found the resident not breathing. She stated she called a
code [indicating an emergency code for staff to respond as a resident needed immediate medical attention,
usually due to cardiac or respiratory arrest], and the other two nurses came over and started CPR. The
squad got to the facility fast and took over CPR. She stated she called the daughter and the physician to
notify them of what had happened. She stated the doctor did not seem surprised. She stated she never
thought to call the doctor earlier in the night because the RT told her this was normal for the resident.
On [DATE] at 5:10 P.M. an interview with RT #700 revealed she had been the RT for the facility since 2000.
She stated the nurses would Facetime her after hours (when she wasn't working onsite) if they needed to.
She was knowledgeable about Resident #60 and stated Resident #60 would get a mucous plug quite often
and they would have to suction her very vigorously to get the mucous plug out. She stated when she had a
mucus plug, her oxygen saturations would drop, but she would be fine after they removed the mucous plug.
She stated it was a little hard to tell with the resident if she had mucous because staff could not always tell
when the resident needed suctioned. She stated with most people you could automatically tell if they
needed suctioned, but not with Resident #60, so she always told the nurses to make sure they went in and
suctioned her even if she did not look like she needed suctioned. She stated the night Resident #60 passed
away, LPN #500 called her and asked her if Resident #60 always looked like she was distressed and RT
#700 told her yes, she always looked a little bit distressed. She stated her oxygen saturation was up and
down, but stated she did not believe the resident's oxygen saturations would be up in the 92% and 98%
range if she had a mucous plug. She stated LPN #500 called her around 11:30 P.M. and at that time she did
not believe Resident #60 needed to be transferred to the hospital. She stated she had been off that day, so
she didn't treat Resident #60 that day. She stated her schedule was to work four days per week from 3:00
P.M. through 11:00 P.M. and that she was the only RT on staff for the facility so she was on-call at all other
times.
On [DATE] at 10:40 A.M. an interview with Vital Statistics Staff #400 revealed Resident #60's death
certificate indicated she expired from respiratory failure.
On [DATE] at 11:30 A.M. an interview with Regional Registered Nurse #522 revealed when Resident #60
went out to the hospital on [DATE], they had weaned her off the ventilator and she came back to the facility
on oxygen only

with humidification.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
On [DATE] at 2:25 P.M. an interview with Regional Registered Nurse #522 confirmed Resident #60 did not
have an actual physician order for oxygen or humidified oxygen when she came back from the hospital on
[DATE]. She further confirmed there should have been an order for oxygen with parameters for its use for
Resident #60.
Residents Affected - Few
On [DATE] at 4:10 P.M. a follow-up interview with RT #700 revealed the last day she actually worked with,
and assessed Resident #60, was on [DATE]. The RT revealed she could not state what was wrong with
Resident #60 on [DATE] or [DATE] as she had not personally assessed the resident on these dates.
On [DATE] at 10:01 A.M. an email communication from Regional Registered Nurse #522 revealed that one
on one was provided as needed for Resident #60. If the behavior of touching/manipulating her
tracheostomy was observed, she would be one on one until determined it was no longer necessary by the
team, however, the behavior was not an ongoing issue but was left on the care plan as a precaution.
On [DATE] at 1:50 P.M. an interview with RT #700 revealed she did not remember if Resident #60 had
oxygen on when she Facetimed the nurse (on [DATE]). She stated Resident #60 did not always need
oxygen because it was not an issue of saturation for her and she would not necessarily need the oxygen
with labored breathing, because she felt it could be more of a hindrance due to her grabbing at things all
the time.
On [DATE] at 11:15 A.M. an interview with Family Member #817 revealed she called the nursing home for
an update every couple hours for Resident #60. She stated on [DATE] the last time she had called the
nursing home to check on her mother was around 2:30 A.M. She stated it was LPN #500's first night
working with her mother and the nurse told her she had called the RT to get Resident #60's baseline. She
stated LPN #500 never told her that her mother was having trouble breathing or had labored breathing. She
stated the only time her mother had trouble breathing was when she got junky and needed to be suctioned,
then she would be fine. She stated her mother was fidgety and would grab at her tracheostomy and feeding
tube, but she had brought in fidget toys for her to play with and they did help with her grabbing at stuff.
On [DATE] at 11:40 A.M. an interview with LPN #500 revealed Resident #60 was not messing with her
tracheostomy the night of [DATE] into [DATE]. She stated the resident had oxygen on, but she could not
remember at what flow rate.
Review of the facility policy titled, Change in Residents Condition or Status, dated [DATE] revealed the
facility would promptly notify the resident, his or her attending physician, and the RP of changes in the
resident's medical or mental condition and/or status. The nurse would notify the resident's physician or
physician on -call when there had been an incident involving the resident, significant change in the resident
physical or mental condition, and the need to transfer the resident to the hospital.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00165463.

#219 provided incontinence care to Resident #41. CNA #219 brought into the room, two washcloths and a
bath towel to provide care to Resident #41. CNA #219 washed the perineal and rectal area of Resident #41
and got feces on the washcloth. CNA #219 continued to wash the perineal area with the same washcloth,
but used a different part of the washcloth even though you could visibly see the washcloth was soiled with
feces. CNA #219 laid the feces-soiled wash cloth on the clean towel. She then rinsed the perineal area of
Resident #41 and dried her with the towel she had the feces-soiled/contaminated wash cloth on. She rolled
Resident #41 over on her left side and started to wipe her from her perineal area to her rectum with the
feces-soiled washcloth. CNA #219 realized Resident #41 had feces on her rectum and grabbed some
tissues from the resident's bedside stand and cleaned up the feces. She then proceeded to utilize the
feces-soiled washcloth and wipe the resident two times from her perineal area to her rectum. The surveyor
then intervened and asked her to stop and obtain a clean washcloth to wash the resident with.
On 05/27/25 at 10:00 A.M. an interview with CNA #219 verified she had used a feces-soiled washcloth to
wash the perineal area of Resident #41 during incontinence care.
Review of the facility policy titled, Perineal Care, dated April 2018 revealed the purpose of the procedure
was to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent infection and skin irritation and to
observe the resident's skin condition.
