Based on staff interviews, review of facility policy and clinical record review, it was determined that the
facility failed clinically assess and notify the resident's physician after a change in condition for 1 out of 16
residents reviewed (Residents R12). Findings include: Review of Resident R12's September 2025 physician
orders included the following diagnoses obesity, hypertension (high blood pressure); chronic pain;
depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest); anxiety
(intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations); muscle weakness, and
osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis, characterized by joint pain and stiffness). Review of the
facility policy, Changes in a Resident's Condition or Status revised February 2021 indicated that the facility
promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and the resident's representative of changes
in the resident's medical/mental condition and his/her status. Continued review of the policy indicated that
prior to notifying the physician or healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations and gather
relevant information and pertinent information for the provider, including (for example) information prompted
by the Interact SBAR Communication Form (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) a tool
used by nursing staff that includes, but not limited to, an assessment of the resident's current change in
condition, including clinical findings.Review of a nursing note documented by Employee E3 (licensed nurse)
dated September 20, 2025 at 5:29 p.m. revealed Resident returned to the unit from her apartment around

p.m.)Review of the resident's nursing notes did not show evidence that any other follow-up was initiated by
licensed nursing staff (e.g. vital signs) regarding the above referenced changes in the resident's medical
condition that the resident was observed as exhibiting. Continued review of the nursing notes did not show
evidence that the physician was notified regarding the resident's change in medical condition on September
20, 2025 to see if there were any interventions/instructions/treatment and/or further assessments that the
physician may have wanted nursing staff to implement for the resident. During an interview with Employee
E3 on September 25, 2025 at 12:02 p.m. Employee E3, the note from September 20, 2025 that Employee
E3 wrote was reviewed with her. During the interview, Employee E3 confirmed that that she observed the
resident having slurred speech, having difficulty making sentences, and explained that the resident was
closing her eyes while the resident was speaking to nursing staff upon the resident's return from her leave
of absence outside of the facility. During the above referenced interview Employee E3 also confirmed that
she did not conduct any clinical assessments of the resident after she observed the resident exhibiting the
above referenced changes in her condition. Continued interview with Employee E3 on September 26, 2025
at 10:30 a.m. confirmed that she also did not notify the physician of the resident's change in medical

at each required visit.
Based on staff interviews, review of facility policy and review of clinical records, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure that the resident's physician orders were accurate for 1 out of 16 residents reviewed
(Resident R12). Findings include: Review of the facility policy, Attending Physician Responsibilities, with a
revision date of August 2025 indicated that attending physicians shall be the primary practitioners
responsible for providing medical services, and coordinating the healthcare of each resident in the facility.
Continued review of the policy indicated that each attending physician will be responsible for the following
which included, but not limited to, accepting responsibility for initial and subsequent resident care;
supporting discharges and transfers; providing appropriate care, and providing appropriate, timely, and
pertinent documentation. The policy also indicated that the attending physician will seek, provide and
analyze information regarding a resident's current status, recent history, and medications and treatments to
enable safe, effective continuing care, and to support facility compliance with regulations, and care
standards. Continued review of the policy also indicated that in consultation with facility staff, the physician
will verify that treatments and services, including rehabilitation services, are medically necessary and
appropriate in accordance with relevant criteria. Review of Resident R12's September 2025 physician
orders included the following diagnosis: obesity, hypertension (high blood pressure); chronic pain;
depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest); anxiety
(intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations); muscle weakness, and
osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis, characterized by joint pain and stiffness).Continued
review of the September 2025 physician order included a physician's order dated March 12, 2025, and
monthly thereafter, for the resident to have supervised leave of absence (LOA) visits. Resident may go on
LOA supervised with meds.Review of the resident's nursing notes indicated that on May 6, 2025 at 11:26
p.m. the resident returned from her leave of absence for the day, and reported to nursing staff that she
spilled hot tea on her thighs. Review of a progress note completed by the nurse practitioner on May 7,
2025, at 9:12 a.m. indicated that the resident had sustained 2nd degree burns on both thighs, as the result
of the resident's spilling hot tea on her thigh.Review of a nursing note dated May 28, 2025 at 3:33 p.m.
indicated that the resident was off the nursing unit on a leave of absence, and was found on the floor in her
independent living apartment after she fell from her motorized scooter. The nursing note indicated that the
resident was home alone, and was eventually found by her husband on the floor of her apartment when her

returned from her leave of absence off the nursing unit, and was observed by nursing staff as having
slurred speech, difficulty making sentences, and her eyes closing while the resident was speaking with
staff.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on September 25,2025 at 9:30 a.m. and the
Nursing Home Administrator, the DON regarding the above referenced incidents that occurred when the
resident was on supervised leave of absence, per the current physician's order, the DON explained that the
physician's order was incorrect, as the resident did not need supervision when she is off the nursing
unit.During an interview with the resident's attending physician (Employee E4) on September 22, 2025 at
12:22 p.m. the physician confirmed that the physician order for supervised leave of absence for the resident
that had been ordered since March 2025, was incorrect. The attending physician explained that the resident
did not have to be supervised when she is on leave of absences. During the interview, the physician also
confirmed that physician orders are reviewed monthly by the nurse practitioner and the attending physician.
