bed-hold policies.
Based on review of facility policy and clinical records and staff interview it was determined that the facility
failed to make certain that the necessary resident information was communicated to the receiving health
care provider for one of 35 residents reviewed (Resident R19).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy entitled Transfer and Discharge Policy dated 6/18/25, indicated When the facility
transfers or discharges a resident . the facility must ensure that the transfer or discharge is documented in
the residents medical record and appropriate information is communicated to the receiving health care
institution or provider. And Documentation of the resident's medical record must include: . Information
provided to the receiving provider .
Review of Resident R19's clinical record revealed an admission date of 12/12/24, with diagnoses that
included respiratory failure (a condition where your lungs don't exchange air properly), congestive heart
failure (the inability of the heart to maintain an adequate supply of blood to organs and tissues), and
obstructive sleep apnea (a condition when a person repeatedly stops and starts breathing when they are
sleeping).
Review of Resident R19's clinical record revealed a progress note dated 5/15/25, at 3:50 p.m. indicating the
resident was transfered to the hospital. The clinical record lacked evidence that Resident R19's necessary
clinical information was communicated to the receiving health care provider.
During an interview on 6/25/25, at 2:35 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that there was no
evidence that the necessary clinical information for Resident R19 was provided to the receiving healthcare
provider upon transfer. The DON also confirmed when a resident is transferred the necessary clinical
information should be provided to the receiving health care provider and documented in the resident's
clinical record.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on review of facility policy and clinical record, observations, and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to ensure that resident with limited range of motion received physician ordered
treatment and services to prevent further decrease in range of motion for one of four residents reviewed
(Resident R120).
Findings include:
Review of policy entitled Restorative Nursing: Splints and Orthotics dated 6/18/25, indicated upon receipt of
a physician's order the occupational/physical therapist will issue a splinting device for the resident and
nursing staff will follow recommendations/physician's orders and instructions.

Review of Resident R153's clinical record revealed an initial admission date of 1/06/23, with diagnoses that
included prostate cancer, Type 2 diabetes (chronic condition where the body either doesn't produce enough
insulin or can't properly use the insulin it produces, leading to high blood sugar levels), altered mental
status, and dementia. The clinical record lacked evidence of a physician's order to provide supplemental
oxygen (O2).
Residents Affected - Some
A departmental progress note dated 6/23/25, at 11:50 a.m. revealed that Resident R153 experienced a
potential seizure, and that O2 was initiated at two liters per minute and his/her oxygen saturation was
recorded at 99%.
Review of Resident R153's MAR/TAR and departmental progress notes dated 6/23/25, to 6/25/25, lacked
evidence of documentation of his/her continued use of O2, the liter flow, or route.
Observations on 6/23/25, at 3:48 pm., and 6/24/25, at approximately 10:10 a.m. revealed that Resident
R153 was observed in bed with O2 in use at two liters per minute.
During an interview on 6/25/25, at 1:30 p.m. Registered Nurse Employee E2 and Licensed Practical Nurse
Employee E3 confirmed Resident R153's clinical record contained incomplete orders and parameters for
the use of O2, and lacked documentation of continued use of O2, route and liter flow.
Review of Resident R195's clinical record revealed an admission date of 2/18/25, with diagnoses that
included Parkinson's (a chronic and progressive movement disorder that causes shaking, slows a person's
ability to move and worsens over time), dementia (a disease that affects short term memory and the ability
to think logically), and heart failure (the inability of the heart to maintain an adequate supply of blood to
organs and tissues).
Review of Resident R195's physician's orders revealed an order for oxygen via nasal cannula (a thin tube
with two prongs that fit into the resident's nostrils to deliver oxygen) for comfort only, do not titrate SATS
(blood oxygen saturation levels) dated 2/21/25, and another order for oxygen per oximetry (a device that
provides an oxygen level by placing it on a person's finger) PRN (as needed) dated 2/18/25. The oxygen
orders lacked a flow rate (the amount of oxygen to be delivered).
During an interview on 6/26/25, at 10:10 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that Resident R19's
oxygen orders lacked a flow rate. The DON also confirmed that Resident R19's oxygen orders were
incomplete, and all oxygen orders should indicate a flow rate.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on review of facility policies, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that medications subject to abuse were stored in separately locked, permanently affixed
compartment in one of three medication refrigerators (H Unit), and failed to ensure that medications were
discarded in a timely manner for one of three medication rooms observed (A Unit).
Findings include:
A facility policy entitled Storage of Medications on Nursing Unit dated 6/18/25, revealed that controlled
substances that require refrigeration will be secured in the red box designated for controlled substances
and secured with a pull tight seal or lock.
A facility policy entitled Return of Medication to the Pharmacy dated 6/18/25, revealed that all of the
discontinued medication (except controlled substances) will be sent to the pharmacy for credit and/or
disposal.
Observation on 6/23/25, at 2:15 p.m. of the H Unit medication storage refrigerator revealed Ativan
(anti-anxiety, controlled medication) injection syringes, in the red plastic box designated for controlled
medications and the box lacked a lock/device to secure the contents.
During an interview at the time of the observation, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E1 confirmed
the controlled medication box was not secure.
During an interview on 6/23/25, at 2:29 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the red controlled
medication box should have a lock/secure device.
