Based on clinical record review, observation, resident interview, and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that call bells were accessible for one of 28 sampled residents. (Resident 13)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 13 had diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis
(paralysis on one side of the body), contracture of muscle (stiffness in the connective tissues of the body),
and muscle weakness. The Minimum Data Set assessment, dated February 7, 2025, revealed Resident 13
was able to communicate needs to staff and required extensive assistance from staff for mobility and
activities of daily living such as toilet use, grooming, and hygiene. Review of the care plan revealed that the
resident had a self-care deficit due to physical limitations and contractures, and was a risk for behavioral
symptoms. An intervention was for staff to provide Resident 13 with a handbell to call for assistance. On
April 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Resident 13 was observed in bed without a handbell. In an interview at that
time, Resident 13 stated that she could not find her handbell. Resident 13 was observed again at 11:40
a.m. and at 1:30 p.m., in bed without a handbell.
In an interview on April 10, 2025, at 9:10 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the handbell should
have been provided for Resident 13 to call for assistance.

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
clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that safety interventions were in place for one of seven sampled residents at risk for falls. (Resident 45)
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 45 had diagnoses that included diabetes, muscle weakness,
dizziness, and giddiness (feeling of imbalance and lightheadedness). The Minimum Data Set assessment
dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 45 required staff assistance for bed mobility and transfers. Review of
progress notes dated March 23, 2025, revealed that the resident was found on the floor in his room by his
bed. Review of the care plan identified that the resident was at risk for falls related to impaired mobility. The
intervention was for staff to place floor mats on both sides of the bed while the resident was in bed. Multiple
observations on April 8 and April 9, 2025, between 9:40 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., revealed Resident 45 was in
bed and the floor mats were not in place.
In an interview on April 11, 2025, at 9:10 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that the fall mats should
have been in place.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, policy review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assess
bladder incontinence and provide services to restore bladder function as much as possible for three of four
sampled residents. (Residents 45, 77, 129)
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Continence Management, last reviewed March 31, 2025, revealed that
facility staff was to complete a urinary incontinence assessment and/or bowel incontinence assessment
upon admission and re-admission and with a change in condition or change in continence status. Staff
would review the pre-admission history, assess the resident's current bladder and bowel elimination
problem, and identify causes of incontinence. If there was a change in urinary and/or bowel incontinence,
staff would provide appropriate treatment and services to restore continence to the extent possible and
implement a toileting diary to determine a resident's voiding pattern for assistance in decision-making and
development of a toileting program.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 45 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included
diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension (high blood pressure). A bowel and urinary incontinence
evaluation was completed on September 2, 2024, and indicated that the resident was a candidate for a
scheduled toileting program. According to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated March 10,
2025, the resident needed assistance from staff for toileting, was always incontinent of urine, and was not
on a toileting program. Review of the current care plan revealed that Resident 45's type of urinary
incontinence was not identified and there was no indication that the resident was on a scheduled toileting
program. There was no documented evidence that a scheduled toileting program had been implemented.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 77 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses
that included diabetes, urinary tract infection, and hypertension. A review of the MDS assessments dated
November 24, 2024, and February 19, 2025, revealed that Resident 77 was able to make her needs known
and needed assistance from staff for toileting. The assessments further indicated that the resident was
frequently incontinent of urine and bowel and was not on a toileting program. Review of the current care
plan revealed that Resident 77's type of urinary and bowel incontinence was not identified and there were
no specific interventions developed to address Resident 77's urinary and bowel incontinence. There was no
documented evidence that a bowel and urinary incontinence evaluation, an assessment to determine the
type of incontinence, and an appropriate incontinence program had been completed.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 129 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses
that included diabetes, kidney failure, and hypertension. A review of the MDS assessment January 7, 2025,
revealed that Resident 129 was able to make his needs known and needed assistance from staff for
toileting. The assessment further indicated that the resident was frequently incontinent of urine and bowel,
and was not on a toileting program. A review of the MDS assessment, dated April 7, 2025, revealed that
Resident 129's bowel incontinence had changed from frequently to always incontinent of bowel. There was
no documentation in the clinical record to support that the resident's urinary and bowel incontinence were
assessed by the facility upon admission and upon a change in Resident's 129 incontinence to determine if
normal bladder and bowel function could be restored. There

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental
disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress
disorder.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide appropriate
services and treatment in a timely manner for one of four sampled residents who exhibited behavioral and
mood symptoms. (Resident 27)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 27 had diagnoses that included congestive heart failure,
schizoaffective disorder, and auditory hallucinations. The Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE],
indicated that the resident was alert and oriented, had mood issues that included feeling down, had trouble
falling asleep, was tired, and had bad feelings about herself. The assessment also indicated that she had a
diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and was prescribed antidepressant, antianxiety, and
antipsychotic medications.
Review of a psychiatric consultation report dated April 3, 2025, revealed that the resident was being treated
for an increase in depressive and anxiety symptoms. There was a recommendation made to discontinue the
current physician ordered antidepressant (Lexapro) and to order a different antidepressant (Zoloft) to be
administered every day. Review of the current Medication Administration Record for March 2025, revealed
that as of April 9, 2025, the resident was still receiving the Lexapro and that the Zoloft recommendation had
not been reviewed and/or ordered by the physician.
In addition, there was no care plan developed with a problem area and specific interventions to address the
diagnosis and condition of PTSD.
In an interview on April 10, 2025, at 11:45 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that the recommendation for
the medication change had not been done timely and that there had been no care plan developed to
address the PTSD diagnosis for this resident.
