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, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #186 had an order in place
for advanced directives and Resident #7's was listed correctly throughout the medical record. This affected
two (#7 and #186) of two residents reviewed for advanced directives. The facility census was 33.
Findings include:
1. Record review revealed Resident #186 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
displaced bimalleolar fracture of right lower leg, muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, hypothyroidism, and
severe intellectual disabilities. Review of Resident #186's orders from 10/04/24 revealed there were no
orders in place for the residents code status in the physical chart or in the electronic chart.
Interview on 11/05/24 at 2:31 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #186 did not have an
order in place for her code status until an audit was completed after being made aware of another concern
with advanced directives. The DON stated there should have been an order for a code status upon
Resident #186's admission to the facility.
Review of a policy titled Advanced Directive, dated December 2016, revealed upon admission, a resident
would be provided with written information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or surgical
intervention and to formulate advanced directives if they choose to do so. If the resident was incapacitated,
the information could be provided to a legal representative. Information regarding advanced directives
should be displayed prominently in the medical record. Advanced directives included, but were not limited
to, code status. Advanced directives should be reviewed annually.
2. Review of Resident #7's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/25/19 with diagnoses including
severe sepsis with septic shock, major depressive disorder, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance
or known physiological condition, and systolic congestive heart failure.
Review of Resident #7's electronic healthcare record revealed an advanced directive physician order
indicating the resident's code status was a Full Code (all life-saving procedures would be preformed to treat
cardiac or respiratory arrest).
Review of Resident #7's hard chart (paper chart) revealed a form indicating the resident's code status was
Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care (DNR-CC) (no life-saving procedures would be preformed to treat
cardiac or respiratory arrest).

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and review of facility invoices, the facility failed to ensure the facility floors,
walls, air vents and rooms were maintained, clean, and free of insects. This affected five residents
(Resident's #5, #24, #29, #30, and #32) out of 24 residents reviewed in the initial pool. The facility census
was 33.
Findings include:
Observations and interviews on 11/06/24 at 1:31 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed the following
environmental concerns:
a. The tile and grout around the base of Resident #24's toilet was a discolored dark brown/black color.
b. The air vent going into the bathroom of Resident #30's room was rusty. There was a hole in the wall
above the baseboard on the right side of the door. The tile and grout around the base of Resident #30's
toilet was a discolored dark brown/black color.
c. The wall above the vinyl baseboard in Resident #5's bathroom was torn around the entire perimeter of
the bathroom.
d. Resident #32's bed was positioned long-ways against the wall. The wall had scraped drywall and paint
removed in eight areas, all measuring over a foot long each. In addition, the floor made a sticky sound
when walking.
Interview on 11/04/24 at 1:14 P.M. with Resident #32's family member revealed when Resident #32 moved
into the room, the toilet was held on by one bolt and wiggled around and it took quite a while to get the
issue fixed. The family member also stated there was an odor in the room and the floor was occasionally
sticky.
Observation on 11/04/24 at 4:52 P.M. of Resident #32's room revealed there were three wheelchair legs
lying on the floor, one was toward the center of the bedroom area. There was a urinal on the stand in front
of Resident #32's roommates (Resident #29) television. The bedding on Resident #32's bed was soiled,
there was a one foot diameter light brown drainage on his pillow case and a two foot diameter area of
drainage on his sheets at the foot of the bed. There was a soiled, dried wash cloth on the window sill and a
dried flower shedding leaves on the areas around it. The lunch tray was still in the room after the supper
tray was served and there were three insects, that looked like flies, flying around the room.
Interview at 11/04/24 at 4:52 P. M with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #535, at the time of the
observation, verified Resident #32's bedding was soiled. STNA #535 stated that the resident didn't usually
lay in the bed, but she thought he was resting his legs on the bed when he was sitting in the wheelchair.
She verified there were some flies in the room and two meal trays. She also confirmed the window sill was
cluttered with a shedding dead flower and the soiled, dried washcloth. STNA #535 indicated the resident
was slow at eating so they did not take his tray when they were picking up trays. STNA #535 also verified
the floor made a sticky sound when walking. STNA #535 was observed changing the sheets on the bed,
but she left the meal tray in the room, left the wheelchair leg in the

Observation on 11/05/24 at 12:36 P.M. revealed Resident #32 was in his room asleep in his wheelchair
holding a glass of juice. There was a lunch tray with a hamburger, tater tots, a cut up fruit and coffee in front
of him and a breakfast tray was noted on a chair in his room. There was a fly on his head and a fly on his
left sleeve. The residents dead flowers were no longer present.
Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 11/05/24 at 12:45 P.M. with STNA #506 confirmed Resident #32's breakfast tray was on a
chair in his room during lunch.
Observation and interview on 11/05/24 at 12:55 P.M. revealed License Practical Nurse (LPN) #519 came in
the room. She stated she does see flies in Resident #32's room. During the interview, LPN #519 killed a fly
that was on the residents curtain, and the fly had landed on his head and then his arm.
Interviews on 11/06/24 at 2:22 P.M. with STNA #506 and STNA #532 revealed they fill out a maintenance
form for things like light bulbs or clogged sinks. They stated the facility had not had a maintenance man for
over a month, but someone from their corporate office would come into the facility about every other day.
STNA #506 and STNA #532 stated they did not notice the holes in the dry wall from the molding being
pulled off in the bathrooms or toilet tiles being dark, but they were aware of Resident #32's wall being
damaged. The STNA's stated the floors had been sticky for years, they thought there was too much soap
being used, leaving a residue, and they had reported it before. They further stated they had seen flies in the
building, and they felt the flies were in Resident #32's room because his room tended to be dirty and he
didn't always shower. STNA #506 further stated that Resident #32 ate slow and he would fuss sometimes if
you tried to take away the tray, so she would sometimes take things off the tray, like cake for example, and
leave it in his room.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 5:14 P.M. with the Administrator revealed they did have flies in the facility at times
and they had a quarterly contract with an exterminator. She included they can call the exterminator to come
more often if needed, which they have done.

breakfast, there was a urinal on the floor and dried spilled brown liquid on the floor.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 09:07 A.M. with STNA #506 verified the floor was soiled.
Review of the pest control invoices revealed the last invoice dated 10/16/24 was a quarterly visit. The
invoice also indicated that the last visit prior to 10/16/24, was 07/29/24. There was no indication of the
facility treating for flies on the invoices.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the
Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) was accurate regarding a psychiatric diagnosis.
This affected one resident (Resident #7) of one resident reviewed for PASRR.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #7's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/25/19 with diagnoses including
major depressive disorder and unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological
condition. Resident #7's care plan revealed care plans were in place for depression and psychosis.
Review of Resident #7's PASRR documentation revealed only a PASRR document dated 05/24/19. The
diagnosis for major depressive disorder and unspecified psychosis were not indicated on the PASRR
documentation in section D of the document (indications of serious mental disorder).
Review of Resident #7's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], revealed in section A: Pre-admission
Screening and Resident Review the resident did not have a serious mental illness, intellectual disability or a
related condition. Review of the MDS section I revealed the diagnosis of depression and psychotic disorder
were indicated as active. Further review of the MDS revealed in section N (medications) the resident had
received antidepressant medication in the past seven days.
Interview on 11/04/24 at 3:05 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the diagnosis of major
depressive disorder and unspecified psychosis were not indicated on the PASRR dated 05/24/19 and that
the facility had not completed a resident review related to these diagnoses.
Review of the policy titled Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Policy, updated January
2023, revealed if a resident was admitted with a result of a negative level I and there was subsequent
evidence of possible, but previously, unrecognized or unreported serious mental illness the facility would
complete a resident review.

1. Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included unspecified mild dementia without behavioral disturbances, major depressive disorder,
hallucinations, insomnia, and adult onset diabetes mellitus.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident #5's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/28/24, revealed the
resident's cognition was severely impaired. The MDS assessment was coded to reflect the resident was
given insulin on five of the seven days of the assessment period. She was also coded as having received
an antipsychotic and antidepressant medications.
Review of Resident #5's physician's orders revealed the resident had orders to receive Aricept (a
medication used in the treatment of Alzheimer's/dementia) 10 milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) once daily for
dementia, Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication) 25 mg po every morning and 50 mg po at bedtime for
hallucinations, Remeron (an antidepressant) 15 mg po at bedtime for major depressive disorder, Zoloft (an
antidepressant) 75 mg po daily for depression, Melatonin (a supplement used for insomnia) 5 mg po at
bedtime for insomnia, and Insulin Glargine (slow acting insulin) 100 units/milliliter (ml) with instructions to
give 10 units subcutaneously at bedtime for diabetes mellitus.
Review of Resident #5's active care plans revealed the facility did not develop a comprehensive care plan
to address the resident's diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder, hallucinations, or insomnia.
The active care plans also did not address the resident's diagnosis of adult onset diabetes mellitus or the
use of insulin.
On 11/06/24 at 2:08 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #600 confirmed Resident #5's active
care plans were not comprehensive and did not include care plans to address multiple diagnoses or the
use of psychotropic medications. She stated she noted the care plans seemed a little light when she printed
them off. She stated the care plans were being developed by an MDS nurse that worked off-site, as well as
the facility's nurse managers. They were hoping with the new Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) starting, they would have them oversee the care planning process to ensure all
the residents had the appropriate care plans in place to direct their care.
Review of a policy titled Care Planning dated 08/2023 revealed the facility's interdisciplinary team was
responsible for the development of an individualized comprehensive care plan for each resident which
should have been developed within seven days of the completion of the residents MDS assessment and

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, interview, and review of policies and procedures, the facility failed to ensure a
dependent resident received assistance with bathing, showers, shaving, and oral care. This affected one
(Resident #32) of three residents reviewed for activities of daily living. The census was 33.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #32's record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
dementia with behavioral disturbance, myocardial infarction, acute kidney failure, gastroesophageal reflux
disease, Alzheimer's disease, muscle weakness, repeated falls, cognitive communication deficit, malignant
neoplasm of bronchus or lung, chronic gout, and osteoarthritis.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS) assessment, dated 10/10/24, revealed
Resident #32 was moderately impaired for daily decision making, had difficulty focusing, was easily
distractible or had difficulty keeping track of what was said, he had behavior fluctuations, had no rejection of
care, had no upper or lower extremity impairment, and he utilized a wheelchair. The resident required
substantial/maximum (sub/max) assistance for oral hygiene, toileting, transfers, upper and lower body
dressing, and going from a sitting position to lying, as well as lying to sitting. The resident also refused
showers, was frequently incontinent of bladder and occasionally incontinent of stool.

respiratory failure with hypoxia, nutrition deficiency, hyponatremia, Alzheimer's disease, muscle weakness,
repeated falls, cognitive communication deficit, malignant neoplasm of bronchus or lung, vitamin B
deficiency, chronic gout, and osteoarthritis. He required set-up to total dependence to complete ADLs. The
resident required sub/max assistance to partial/moderate assistance of one staff member to maintain his
current level of function in bed mobility, ambulation, transfers, eating, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene
and bathing. The assessment also indicated the resident required total assistance of one staff for bathing.
Review of the shower binder revealed Resident #32 was to receive a shower on Wednesdays and Sundays
during the night shift. Review of the shower sheets for October 2024 through November 2024 revealed on
10/03/24 (Thursday) the resident refused bathing assistance, on 10/06/24 (Sunday) the resident received a
shower, there was no evidence of attempting a shower/bath on 10/09/24 (Wednesday), on 10/13/24

Interview on 11/05/24 at 12:45 P.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #506 revealed she could
usually talk Resident #32 into a shower and a shave, but the resident was suppose to receive his showers
from the night shift.
Interview and observation on 11/05/24 at 1:03 P.M. with STNA #500 revealed night shift was suppose to
take out the resident's dentures and day shift was to assist the resident to put the dentures back in, but
Resident #32 already had them in this morning. She stated the resident had supplies if he wanted to brush
his dentures, but that she didn't help the resident brush his dentures. The aide pointed out where the
supplies were, the tooth brushing supplies were in a bath basin in the bathroom, on a shelf that the resident
would not be able to reach from his wheelchair. She said they had to take the basin down for the resident
and he could brush his own dentures. Toothpaste was observed in the basin. STNA #500 stated she
showered and shaved Resident #32 last week (on 10/30/24) because he had an odor. She indicated the
resident allowed day shift to shower him and she didn't know if night shift asked him to shower and shave.
She indicated she was going to shave Resident #32 today.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 2:22 P.M. with STNA #506 revealed the staff were to give Resident #32 his bath
basin of personal hygiene products to brush his teeth. The STNA then verified she had seen Resident #32's
right arm shaking and she agreed that Resident #32 should not be cleaning his dentures by himself when
he was shaking for fear of dropping them.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 4:26 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility bathing policy
didn't address how often a resident was to be showered or what to do for a refusal. She confirmed the
shower schedule indicated Resident #32 was to receive assistance with showers on Wednesdays and
Sundays. The DON verified there was no evidence of the staff offering showers on the next shift after a
refusal. The DON further confirmed Resident #32 went a week without a shower from 10/06/24 to 10/13/24
and 10 days without a shower from 10/20/24 to 10/30/24.
Review of the facility's Bathing Policy, revised August 2023, included residents had the option to take a
bath/shower/bed bath as often as they would like and the resident could choose what time of day they
wanted to bathe.

Provide activities to meet all resident's needs.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, family interview, staff interview, review of the facility assessment, and review of
facility policy and procedure, the facility failed to ensure activities were available for resident participation.
This affected one resident (Resident #30) out of three residents reviewed for activities. The census was 33.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #30's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/14/23 with diagnoses including
mild protein calorie malnutrition, abnormalities of gait, anxiety, vitamin D deficiency and alcohol
dependence.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS) assessment, dated 12/18/23, revealed it
was somewhat important for the resident to listen to music, to do things with groups of people, to do favorite
activities, to go outside to get fresh air, and attend religious services; music and bingo were a current
interest, and watching movies were a past interest. The Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 09/06/24,
revealed the resident was moderately impaired for daily decision making, had no behaviors, and utilized a
walker.
Review of the activity care plan, dated 12/31/23, revealed the resident was dependent on staff for activities,
cognitive stimulation, social interaction related to a disorder of bone density, anxiety, left hip pain,
dermatitis, history of falls, abnormalities in gait and mobility, mild protein calorie malnutrition,
hyperosmolality/hyponatremia, hypokalemia, alcohol dependence, nicotine dependence and urinary tract
infection. Interventions included the resident would attend and participate in activities of choice three to five
times weekly, to encourage ongoing family involvement, invite family to attend special events, activities, and
meals, the resident needed 1 to 1 bedside/in-room visits and activities if unable to attend out of room
events, and the resident needed assistance/escort activity functions.
Review of the October 2024 activity participation calendar revealed Resident #30 did not have three to five
activities per week for the month, per the care plan. The resident was identified as participating in one arts
and crafts activity, two religious services, one sing along, and two special events. Additional activities noted
for the month of October 2024 revealed activities such as social hour (going to the dining room for meals),
personal grooming (defined as the aides assisting the resident to get ready for the day), a movie (they have
a machine in the Administrators office that would play a movie of choice over a certain channel so all
residents could watch the movie in their room on that channel), group discussion (talking to others at
dining), and family visits.
Review of the November 2024 activity participation calendar revealed Resident #30 had not been to any
activities except to go to the dining room at lunch and supper.
Interview on 11/04/24 at 11:01 A.M. with Resident #30's family member revealed he never saw Resident
#30 in activities and never saw activities staff in the resident's room. The family member further stated that
Resident #30 had very poor vision.
Observation on 11/04/24 at 11:01 A.M. of Resident #30 revealed she was in her room sitting on the bed,
dressed in street clothes, with a clean appearance. The television was off and there was no music on, there
was nothing noted in the room that would be considered an activity.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure skin prevention
interventions were implemented for a resident with a known pressure ulcer per the plan of care. This
affected one resident (Resident #28) of one resident reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #28's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included an unstageable pressure ulcer to an unspecified site, history of a right femur fracture,
reduced mobility, muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, protein- calorie malnutrition, unspecified dementia,
and adult failure to thrive.
Review of Resident #28's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 09/17/24, revealed the
resident had clear speech and minimal difficulty hearing, she was able to understand others and was
usually able to make herself understood, her cognition was severely impaired and she had a functional
limitation in her range of motion on one side of her lower extremity. The resident was at risk for pressure
ulcers and she was identified as having an unhealed pressure ulcer. It stated she had two Stage II pressure
ulcers (partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis, that presents as a shallow open ulcer) that was
present upon admission. She was also identified as having two deep tissue injuries (type of pressure ulcer
that occurs when the soft tissue beneath the skin was damaged by pressure or shear forces) that were not
present on admission.
Review of Resident #28's physician's orders, dated 08/01/24, revealed the resident had an order in place to
apply Prevalon boots to her bilateral feet while in bed or in a chair, and anytime there could be pressure to
the heels. She also had an order, dated 08/09/24, to encourage the resident to elevate her heels while in
bed as tolerated.
Review of Resident #28's treatment administration record (TAR) for November 2024 revealed the nurses
were initialing the implementation of the use of Prevalon boots to the resident's bilateral feet every shift. The
TAR was signed off to reflect the Prevalon boots were in place daily through 11/05/24.
On 11/04/24 at 10:52 A.M. an observation of Resident #28 noted her to be lying in bed. She had a dressing
intact to her right foot/heel. Her heels were not offloaded as they were in direct contact with her air mattress
and there were no Prevalon boots in place as ordered.
On 11/05/24 at 12:20 P.M., further observation of Resident #28 revealed the resident was lying in bed
without Prevalon boots on and her heels were not offloaded to help promote wound healing of her pressure
ulcer on her right heel.
On 11/05/24 at 12:22 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #530 verified Resident #28
did not have the Prevalon boots on and her heels were not offloaded while in bed. She stated Resident #28
did have a pressure ulcer on her right heel and that the resident was supposed to have the use of Prevalon
boots to help alleviate pressure off her heels. She claimed the resident did not like to wear them and she
would kick them off, and that they also tried to float her heels, but the resident would kick the object used,
out from under her feet, as well. She acknowledged the resident was observed to not have her Prevalon
boots on her bilateral feet the past couple of days and the

boots were not able to be located in her room. She stated they likely had a pair in the storage closet in the
hall that could be retrieved for use. LPN #530 further acknowledged they were initialing the TAR to reflect
the Prevalon boots were being implemented as ordered the past couple of days, when the resident was
actually observed to not have them on and they could not be found in the resident's room. She obtained a
pair of Prevalon boots from the storage closet and asked the resident if she would allow her to put them on.
The resident agreed and the nurse applied the Prevalon boots as ordered.
Review of the facility's policy on Pressure Injury Treatment, reviewed August 2023, revealed residents with
pressure injuries would be treated with consistent treatment protocols to aid in the healing process. In
addition, residents with pressure injuries would have an individualized treatment program that provided the
appropriate treatment to facilitate healing and that assessed and addressed comorbid conditions in a
systematic manner.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure fall prevention
interventions were implemented for residents at risk for falls. This affected three (Resident #5, #11, and
#28) of five residents reviewed for accidents/supervision.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included mild dementia without behavioral disturbances, adult onset diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, and osteoarthritis.
Review of Resident #5's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/28/24, revealed the
resident had clear speech, she was able to make herself understood, and was usually able to understand
others. Her cognition was severely impaired and she displayed verbal behaviors directed at others 1 to 3
days over the seven day assessment period. The resident required a substantial to maximum assistance for
going from a sitting to a lying position, lying to sitting on the side of the bed, chair to bed transfers, and toilet
transfers. She was not noted to have had any falls since her admission into the facility.
Review of Resident #5's active care plan revealed she had a care plan in place for being at risk for falls due
to her cognitive deficit, with a goal for her to be free of falls. The interventions included staff were to assist
the resident with ambulation and transfers. She was also to wear non-skid footwear at all times, as
tolerated, initiated on 10/28/24.
Review of Resident #5's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 10/25/24 at 5:00 A.M. that
indicated the nurse was notified by an aide that the resident was sitting on the floor in the hallway in front of
her closed door, next to her wheelchair. The nurse noted that she had witnessed Resident #5 in her bed,
with the wheelchair by her bed, less than 15 minutes prior to the fall. The resident stated she was trying to
come back out so she was ready when they came to get her. She stated she slipped while trying to get into
her chair. The nurse assessed the resident for injuries and no injuries were noted. The resident was
reminded to use her call light for assistance when needing to transfer.
Further review of Resident #5's progress notes revealed an interdisciplinary team (IDT) note dated
10/26/24 at 11:33 A.M. and the IDT met to review the resident's recent fall. Root probable cause of the fall
was the resident self-transferred without proper footwear to prevent sliding. The resident was to have
non-skid footwear on at all times. Staff were made aware of the new intervention.
On 11/04/24 at 2:16 P.M., an observation of Resident #5 noted her to be lying in bed with bare feet. She
was not noted to have any non-skid socks on per her plan of care for fall prevention.
On 11/06/24 at 8:08 A.M., a follow up observation of Resident #5 noted her to be in bed eating her
breakfast. She was not noted to be wearing non-skid socks per her plan of care for fall prevention.
On 11/06/24 at 8:10 A.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #504 revealed she was
somewhat familiar with Resident #5. She stated she was not sure if the resident was at risk for falls

as she stated she only worked at the facility part time and the last time she worked she was assigned a
different hall. She confirmed the resident's plan of care for her fall risk included the use of non-skid socks to
be worn at all times and she confirmed Resident #5 did not have on non-skid socks. LPN #504 was
informed that on 11/04/24, Resident #5 was also observed in bed with bare feet. She stated sometimes
residents would kick their socks off. The nurse was asked to go to Resident #5's room to see if she had
non-skid socks in her bed to show they may have been in place and just removed by the resident, but she
was not able to find any non-skid socks in the resident's bed or in her room. She obtained a pair of non-skid
socks from the storage closet in the hall and assisted the resident with putting them on, the resident was
compliant in doing so.
Review of the facility's policy on Managing Falls and Fall Risk, reviewed August 2023, revealed based on
previous evaluations and current data, the staff would identify interventions related to the resident's risks
and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. The
staff would implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factors of falls for
each resident at risk or with a history of falls.
2. Review of Resident #28's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included a history of a right femur fracture, adult onset diabetes mellitus, unspecified dementia,
reduced mobility, muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and hypertension.

verbal behaviors directed at others and was known to reject care 1 to 3 days out of the seven day
assessment period. The resident had a functional limitation in her range of motion on one side of her lower
extremity and the resident was identified as having had a fall since the prior assessment and the resident
had one fall with injury that was not major.
Review of Resident #28's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for being at
moderate risk for falls related to ulcers to her bilateral feet, impaired mobility, decreased safety awareness,
generalized weakness, diabetes mellitus, and prescribed use of pain medication and insulin. The goal was
for the resident to have decreased falls through the next review date. Resident #28's interventions included
fall mats at bedside on floor which was initiated on 09/17/24.
Further review of Resident #28's care plans, initiated 04/29/24, revealed she also had a care plan in place
for having had an actual fall, with a goal to have decreased falls through the next review date. The
interventions included to encourage non-skid socks at all times as the resident allowed/tolerated (initiated
05/10/24), and a sign to remind the resident to call for assistance with transferring and ambulating (initiated
05/10/24).
Review of Resident #28's physician's orders revealed the orders included the need for a sign in the
resident's room to remind resident to call for assistance with transferring/ambulating (initiated 05/13/24),
and to encourage non-skid socks at all times as the resident allowed and/or tolerated (initiated 05/10/24).
On 11/04/24 at 1:18 P.M. an observation of Resident #28 noted her to be in bed, she did not have any fall

Interview on 11/06/24 at 1:56 P.M. with LPN #501 revealed on 10/24/24, Resident #33 had been quiet
unless moved, then she would yell. LPN #501 stated that was not common for Resident #33 because she
was ambulatory, and staff would walk with her. LPN #501 stated she asked Resident #33 if her hip hurt,
then touched her hip and Resident #33 screamed. LPN #501 stated initially Resident #33 was able to stand
and pivot to her chair fine but they went to lay her down to change her and that was when Resident #33
began to screamed and when transferred back to her bed, Resident #33 would not put weight on her right
leg. LPN #501 stated when she arrived to work on 10/24/24 the as needed acetaminophen was not
effective.
Interview on 11/06/24 at 2:16 P.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) # 506 revealed when
Resident #33 fell on [DATE], she hit her head and was bleeding but did not have complaints of pain
anywhere else. STNA #506 stated the following day (10/22/24) Resident #33 began to complain of pain in
her right hip. Resident #33 kept touching her hip and saying it hurts. STNA #506 stated Resident #33 would
say ouch, it hurts during care and although she is often agitated, her agitation seemed to have increased.
STNA #506 stated staff kept checking Resident #33's hip since she was complaining of pain but it looked
fine so the staff believed Resident #33 was just sore from the fall.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 4:28 P.M. with LPN #514 revealed she could recall Resident #33 had fallen and
required staples in her head, in-house x-rays were completed and were negative, but about two days later,
Resident #33 was sent out to the hospital where fractures were found. LPN #514 stated Resident #33 was
not yelling out or crying, but when she would be rolled there were some uncomfortable sounds but nothing
was alarming. LPN #514 could not recall if she had administered the as needed acetaminophen or not.
Interview on 11/07/24 at 9:30 A.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #33, who began to
complain of pain on 10/22/24, did not received pain medication after complaints of pain. DON confirmed
Resident #33 did have Acetaminophen on 10/23/24, but there was no documentation explaining why the as
needed medication was administered, no pain assessment, and no re-assessment to determine if the
medication was effective. DON confirmed Resident #33 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] with excruciating
pain and stated staff should have administered as needed pain medication when Resident #33 began to
complain of pain on 10/22/24.
Review of a policy titled Pain Assessment and Management dated 08/2022 revealed pain management if
based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and treatment of pain based on
professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan ,and the resident's choices related to pain
management. Pain management is a multidisciplinary process that includes recognizing the presence of
pain, identifying the characteristics of pain, attempting to address the underlying cause of pain, monitoring
for the effectiveness of interventions, and modifying approaches as necessary. Pain assessments are
completed upon admission, quarterly, for significant changes, and as needed. While recognizing pain, staff
should observe for behavioral signs of pain such as crying or groaning; behaviors such as resisting care,
irritability, depression, decreased participation in usual activities; and guarding, rubbing, or favoring a
particular part of the body. The reported level of pain should be documented, along with the intervention
and reassessment of pain after the intervention is implemented.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS)
assessments were completed on a resident receiving antipsychotic medication to monitor for side effects
associated with antipsychotic medication use. This affected one (Resident #5) of five residents reviewed for
unnecessary medications.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included mild dementia without behavioral disturbances, major depressive disorder, and
hallucinations.
Review of Resident #5's physician's orders revealed the resident was ordered to receive Seroquel 25
milligrams (mg) by mouth (po) every morning and 50 mg po every night at bedtime for hallucinations. The
medication had been ordered since 09/03/24.
Resident #5's medical record was absent for any evidence of the resident having an AIMS assessment (a
12 item rating scale used to assess the severity of abnormal movements in residents taking neuroleptic/
antipsychotic medications) completed since the antipsychotic medication was ordered. There was no
evidence of an AIMS assessment being completed, upon initiation of the antipsychotic medication, to
determine a baseline for the presence of any abnormal involuntary movements or ongoing assessments to
determine if those abnormal involuntary movements developed or worsened that had previously been
noted. Findings were verified by the Director of Nursing (DON).
On 11/07/24 at 11:05 A.M., an interview with the DON revealed residents on antipsychotic medications
should have an AIMS assessment completed to monitor them for side effects such as extrapyramidal
symptoms (Parkinsonian-like symptoms such as stiffness, tremors, or shuffling gait) or tardive dyskinesia
(uncontrollable movements involving the face). She stated they should have completed an AIMS
assessment upon initiation of the antipsychotic medication, repeating it at 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, then
quarterly or after a dosage change.

Interview on 11/04/24 with Dietary Supervisor (DS) #538 confirmed findings in the walk-in refrigerator, dry
storage area, and the dish washing area. DS #538 stated the rinse temperature of the dishwasher had
been reaching 180 degrees, and this was the first time it did not. DS #538 reviewed the dishwasher wash
and rise temperature logs and there were no concerns noted. DS #538 immediately began to serve food on
disposable dishes until the dishwasher could be repaired.
Review of a policy titled Food Safety and Sanitation dated 2021 revealed stored food should be handled to
prevent contamination and growth of pathogenic organisms; all time and temperature control for safety
foods should be labeled, covered, and dated when stored; when a food package is opened, the food item
should be marked to indicate the open date which is used to determine when to discard the food; leftovers
should be used with 72 hours or discarded; perishable foods with expiration dates should be used prior to
the use by date on the package; and canned and dry foods without expiration dates should be used within
six months of delivery or according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
