record review, review of a facility investigation, facility policy and procedure review and interview the facility
failed to prevent an incident of misappropriation of personal property involving Resident #11. This affected
one resident (#11) of five residents reviewed for misappropriation.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Record review revealed Resident #11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including

Review of State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #28's undated statement revealed he had never seen the
resident's wallet nor was aware the wallet was missing.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of STNA #81's statement, dated 03/01/22 revealed she had never seen Resident #11's wallet.
Review of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #59's statement, dated 02/28/22 revealed she was present when
the resident's niece had signed out the resident's belongings on 12/24/21.
Further review of the investigation revealed no evidence of any additional staff, family or resident interviews
conducted.
Review of the February 2022 schedule revealed on 02/27/22 and 02/28/22 nine additional STNAs who
worked on 02/27/22, three housekeepers, one activities staff and four nurses. On 02/28/22 there were
seven additional STNAs, five housekeepers, and five additional nurses. There was no evidence STNA #81
was on the schedule on 02/27/22 or 02/28/22 and LPN #59 only worked 02/28/22.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 10:09 A.M., with Resident #11's niece revealed she had picked up some items for
her uncle on 12/24/21, however returned all the items around the end of December. The niece reported the
resident had two bank envelopes containing cash. One envelope had 13 one-dollar bills and the other one
had $40 with $5 bills. The niece stated she had the resident count the money when she returned it to him.
She did not open his wallet, so she did not know what items he had in it. The resident had kept his money
and wallet locked in the dresser; however, the key was in his room when he was out to the hospital.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 8:35 A.M. with SS #43 and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed they had not
reported the allegation of misappropriation to the State agency because they did not feel they could prove
the resident's niece had returned the resident's wallet/money that she signed out two months prior when
Resident #11 was in the hospital, even though when they called the niece on 02/28/22 she had reported
she had already returned all his items. The DON reported no one had seen the wallet and she thought the
family still had it. The SS confirmed she did ask the niece originally the date she had returned the items.
The SS reported she had called the niece yesterday; however, it had been so long the niece could not
remember the date when she returned the items. The facility was not aware of any credit/debit card the
resident had in his wallet. The SS confirmed the resident had the wallet in a locked cabinet when it had
come up missing. She did not know when the resident had last seen his wallet to determine when it had
come up missing.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 11:44 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the investigation was not
through or complete and the misappropriation of the wallet and belongings were not reported to the State
agency, and should have been reported no matter who took the wallet. There was no evidence in the
investigation when the resident last saw the wallet or when the niece returned the items taken in December
while the resident was in the hospital. The DON was not sure why the wallet was replaced and not the
money.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 12:30 PM with Resident #11 and DON revealed the resident reported he had
counted the money the day before the wallet had come up missing and he had $63 in his wallet. He only
had one card which was debit card and he canceled it right away and no transactions were made on it. He
kept his wallet locked in the cabinet but at that time he left the key on the bed rail.

December 2021. She notified the resident she would replace the wallet and help him get a new social
security card.
Review of State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #28's undated statement revealed he had never seen the
resident's wallet nor was aware the wallet was missing.
Review of STNA #81's statement, dated 03/01/22 revealed she had never seen Resident #11's wallet.
Review of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #59's statement, dated 02/28/22 revealed she was present when
the resident's niece had signed out the resident's belongings on 12/24/21.
Further review of the investigation revealed no evidence of any additional staff, family or resident interviews
conducted.
Review of the February 2022 schedule revealed on 02/27/22 and 02/28/22 nine additional STNAs who
worked on 02/27/22, three housekeepers, one activities staff and four nurses. On 02/28/22 there were
seven additional STNAs, five housekeepers, and five additional nurses. There was no evidence STNA #81
was on the schedule on 02/27/22 or 02/28/22 and LPN #59 only worked 02/28/22.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 10:09 A.M., with Resident #11's niece revealed she had picked up some items for
her uncle on 12/24/21, however returned all the items around the end of December. The niece reported the
resident had two bank envelopes containing cash. One envelope had 13 one-dollar bills and the other one
had $40 with $5 bills. The niece stated she had the resident count the money when she returned it to him.
She did not open his wallet, so she did not know what items he had in it. The resident had kept his money
and wallet locked in the dresser; however, the key was in his room when he was out to the hospital.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 8:35 A.M. with SS #43 and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed they had not
reported the allegation of misappropriation to the State agency because they did not feel they could prove
the resident's niece had returned the resident's wallet/money that she signed out two months prior when
Resident #11 was in the hospital, even though when they called the niece on 02/28/22 she had reported
she had already returned all his items. The DON reported no one had seen the wallet and she thought the
family still had it. The SS confirmed she did ask the niece originally the date she had returned the items.
The SS reported she had called the niece yesterday; however, it had been so long the niece could not
remember the date when she returned the items. The facility was not aware of any credit/debit card the
resident had in his wallet. The SS confirmed the resident had the wallet in a locked cabinet when it had
come up missing. She did not know when the resident had last seen his wallet to determine when it had
come up missing.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 11:44 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the investigation was not
through or complete and the misappropriation of the wallet and belongings were not reported to the State
agency, and should have been reported no matter who took the wallet. There was no evidence in the
investigation when the resident last saw the wallet or when the niece returned the items taken in December
while the resident was in the hospital. The DON was not sure why the wallet was replaced and not the
money.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 12:30 PM with Resident #11 and DON revealed the resident reported he had
counted the money the day before the wallet had come up missing and he had $63 in his wallet. He only

peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, mood affective disorder,
osteoporosis, dysphagia and Alzheimer's Disease.
Review of Resident #18's last dental note, dated 01/23/18 revealed the resident had lots of debris and
inflammation. The note revealed the resident needed assistance with brushing teeth and gums. Patient was
uncooperative; unable to clean teeth today and would try with next visit.
Review of Resident #18's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 07/26/22 revealed the resident
had severe cognitive impairment, had no behaviors or rejection of care. The resident was assessed to be
total dependent on one staff member for personal hygiene including brushing her teeth. The resident had
obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth.

on a swab when he provided mouth care to Resident #18 even though she had her own natural teeth.
STNA #28 reported the resident would often tell you no if you asked her any questions and then she would
play possum, (acting like she is asleep).
An additional observation on 10/11/22 at 10:11 PM with STNA #44 revealed the STNA reported she had
not provided mouth care to the resident in the past but was told to use a mouth swab with mouth wash on it
to clean the resident's teeth. The aide reported she should be using tooth paste in addition since the
resident had her natural teeth. The STNA reported she would not just use mouth wash to

dietician (RD #80) recommended to discontinue mighty shakes twice a day and provide magic cups three
times a day.
On 10/05/22 at 12:28 P.M. Resident #21 was observed seated in his wheelchair in the dining room. The
resident was being assisted with his meal by a family member.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/05/22 at 5:25 P.M. Resident #21 was observed seated in his wheel chair in the dining room. The
resident was feeding himself and was being provided verbal cues from staff in the dining room. The resident
was observed to eat his magic cup during the meal and was provided the appropriate diet and fluid
consistency.
On 10/06/22 at 10:42 A.M. interview with RD #80 revealed the resident had experienced significant weight
loss and recently had a change in his fluid consistency from nectar to honey thickened and his diet
changed to puree texture in July 2022. The RD stated speech therapy was working with the resident and
verified she had not observed the resident eating since she was not always in the facility during meal times.
The RD stated she did not recommend changing the resident from monthly weights to weekly weights
despite the resident's identified significant weight loss of 10.3 % or 22.2 pounds in three months.
On 10/06/22 at 11:15 A.M. LPN #51 and State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #26 were observed to
weigh Resident #21 while in his wheelchair. The resident and chair weighed 242.4 pounds and this was
verified by LPN #51. At 11:20 A.M. LPN #51 weighed only the resident's wheelchair and it weighed 52.8
pounds. This indicated the resident now weighed 189.6 pounds, a 4.2 pound weight loss since 09/11/22.
This was verified with LPN #51 at the time of the observation.
On 10/06/22 at 11:40 A.M. a follow-up interview was completed with RD #80. The RD verified the resident's
additional weight loss and felt all hope is not lost and the resident's weight loss could have been worse. The
stated she would consider the resident nutritionally complex and would need to re-evaluate him. She
indicated she used information such as observing the resident eat, weights and labs to determine if the
facility was meeting the resident's nutritional needs.
On 10/11/22 at 10:50 A.M. a follow-up interview was completed with RD #80 which revealed she spoke to
someone (she was unable to recall the staff member) regarding the resident's weight fluctuations and felt
this may be due to excess fluid but had no additional information to support her thought of excess fluid
volume. The RD stated the resident was weighed over the weekend but the weight was not documented.
Lastly, the RD stated more frequent weights may be upsetting to residents and some don't like seeing the
scale and being weighed so she didn't want to upset the residents by weighing them more often than
monthly.
On 10/06/22 at 12:35 P.M. telephone interview with the Speech Therapist (ST) #75 revealed she wasn't
seeing the resident any longer and discharged him about two weeks ago with recommendations for him
including to be up at 90 degrees, go to the dining room for meals, close supervision while eating, feed only
when alert, small bites and sips while eating and alternate liquids and solids. She stated she felt his
Parkinson's disease may be progressing and this caused a lot of his nutritional issues and his participation
varied greatly related to his fatigue level and how tired he was. If the resident was fatigued and needed
assistance he could go to bed and have the head of the bed elevated 90 degrees. ST #75 revealed the
resident does very well but how well he does depends on him and his day. The ST did not feel the resident
had any additional therapy needs such as occupational therapy at the time of discharge from ST.

On 10/06/22 at 6:00 P.M. interview with the DON verified the resident had experienced significant weight
loss and diet changes as well as the addition of some nutritional interventions. The DON verified the
resident's weight loss should have been identified timely and monitored more closely due to his complex
issues such as dysphagia, diet changes and co-morbidities. The DON stated she planned to discuss the
resident with the dietician and place the resident on weekly weights to ensure his needs were being met.
Residents Affected - Few
A follow-up interview on 10/11/22 at 11:04 A.M. verified the resident's nutrition care plan was not updated
to reflect the resident's supplement change or consistency of his liquids being changed from nectar thick to
honey thick. The DON also verified there was no indication the resident was experiencing any fluid overload
as he was not experiencing any shortness of breath, edema or adventitious lung sounds.
Review of the Weight Policy, reviewed and revised 07/13/16 revealed residents would be weighed upon
admission within 48 hours and then once a month or as ordered by the physician. Available information
would be reviewed for possible reasons for weight loss. Physicians would be notified of any weight change
of five percent or more in a month, seven and a half percent in three months and 10 % in six months and all
necessary interventions would be implemented as ordered.

no chewing or swallowing difficulties noted. The resident's current weight was 290.4 pounds with a body
mass index (BMI) of 40.5, indicating resident was morbidly obese. There were no significant weight
changes triggering at present. The resident had no pressure wounds. The note indicated registered
dietician to follow and address nutritional concerns as appropriate.
Review of a dialysis dietary note, (requested by surveyor), dated 09/26/22 revealed to reinforce one liter
fluid restriction, limit salt use, and encourage oral nutrition supplements in the facility with high protein food
choices.
Further review of the dialysis dietary note, dated 08/04/22 revealed the dialysis registered dietician noted to
encourage resident to eat meats and or eggs with each meal three times daily. There were multiple
documentation entries from 02/01/22 to present to work with the facility to stabilize fluid intake and
encourage high protein diet. One note, on 05/27/22 revealed the registered dietician

assessment revealed nursing was available 24 hours a day.
Review of the staffing schedule, daily posting, and timecards dated 08/29/22 to 09/25/22 revealed there
was no consecutive RN coverage for eight hours as required on 09/03/2, 09/10/22, or 09/11/22.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 9:23 A.M. with Human Resource (HR)/Scheduler #42 verified there was only six
hours RN coverage on 09/03/22 and there was no RN coverage on 09/10/22 or 09/11/22 due to call offs
and no RNs to cover the shifts.
Interview on 10/05/22 at 10:57 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there was not eight hours
of consecutive RN coverage on 09/03/22, 09/10/22, or 09/11/22.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, infection control log review, McGeer's Criteria review, facility policy and procedure
review and interview the facility failed to ensure antibiotic use was appropriate and/or met antibiotic
stewardship criteria. This affected two residents (#3 and #21) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary
medications and one resident (#40) of one resident reviewed for antibiotic stewardship.
Residents Affected - Few

behaviors and urgency on 06/17/22 and contained greater than 100,000 colony count of escherichia coli
and this met McGeer's Criteria for treatment due to the colony count and increased urgency. The resident
was treated with the antibiotic, Keflex for a urinary tract infection.
Review of the urine culture obtained on 06/17/22 and verified on 06/19/22 revealed the resident did have E
coli in her urine, however Keflex was not listed as a treatment option.
Review of the physician's orders revealed Keflex 500 milligrams twice a day for seven days was ordered on
06/17/22 and initiated on 06/18/22. The resident received the entire course of antibiotics.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the nursing progress notes, from 06/24/22 through 06/28/22 revealed the resident had a
non-productive cough but no other symptoms were documented.
Review of the McGeer's Criteria revealed the resident must present with at least two symptoms to meet
criteria for treatment.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/11/22 at 3:58 P.M. interview with the DON verified the medical record only indicated the resident had
a non-productive cough with no other symptoms were documented. The DON verified the resident did not
meet criteria for treatment of an upper respiratory infection due to lack of symptoms present.
3. Review of Resident #40's medical record revealed an admission date of 10/11/21 with diagnoses
including Alzheimer's Disease, mild chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
Review of the July 2022 Infection Control Log revealed the resident had increased falls and a urinalysis was
completed on 07/21/22. The urinalysis did not contain abnormalities to require a urine culture. The resident
did not meet McGeer's Criteria for treatment due to not meeting criteria for a urine culture. However, the
resident was ordered the antibiotic, Keflex and received the entire course of treatment.
Review of the nursing progress note, dated 07/21/22 at 6:41 P.M. revealed the resident was sent to the
emergency room due to somnolence, increased falls and disequilibrium. The resident returned with orders
for antibiotic, Keflex 500 mg every six hours for UTI for seven days.
Review of the physician's orders, dated 07/22/22 revealed orders for Keflex 500 mg every six hours for
seven days.
Review of the July 2022 MAR revealed the resident received the Keflex from 07/22/22 through 07/29/22.
Review of the nursing progress notes revealed the facility received the urinalysis results on 07/25/22 and
reported the results to the physician with orders to continue Keflex as ordered in the emergency room.
On 10/11/22 at 4:00 P.M. interview with the DON verified the resident's urinalysis did not indicate the
resident had a UTI and therefore did not meet McGeer's Criteria for treatment. The DON verified the
resident was treated with Keflex without appropriate justification and the physician did not provide rationale
as to why treatment should continue.
Review of the Infection Prevention and Control: Antibiotic Stewardship Policy, dated 02/20/20 revealed the
facility had developed and implemented written policies and procedures for the provision of infection
prevention and control. The facility administration and medical director should ensure that current standards
of practices based on recognized guidelines were incorporated in the residents' care policies and
procedures. Nursing would obtain labs, cultures, chest x-rays etc as ordered and fax or call results to the
physician. Nursing would follow orders as given by the physician, nursing would complete the criteria
checklist as related to symptoms, educate nursing staff on what to monitor of criteria if not met and
continue to inform the physician when criteria not met for antibiotic stewardship protocol.
