Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
Based on interviews with residents and staff, as well as observations, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that residents could make choices about aspects of their lives that were significant to them,
such as eating in the dining room with other residents, for nine of 57 residents reviewed (Residents 70, 72,
79, 125, 149, 151, 157, 162, 164).
Findings include:
Interview with Resident 72 on August 25, 2024, at 11:21 a.m. revealed that she likes to eat in the main
dining room but has been unable to do so because the air conditioner is broken and the facility said that it
would be too hot in there to have the dining room open. She indicated that the facility is waiting on a part to
come to fix the air conditioner.
During an group interview with Residents 70, 72, 79, 125, 149, 151, 157, 162, and 164 on August 26, 2024,
at 2:04 p.m. the residents reported that they would like to eat in the main dining room, but they were told
that they are unable to do so because the air conditioner is broken and the facility said that it would be too
hot in there to have the dining room open. They indicated that the facility is waiting on a part to come to fix
the air conditioner.
The dietary's meal cart order, dated July 11, 2012, revealed that the main dining room's cart was to be
delivered to the main dining room for the lunch meal at 12:12 p.m.
An email, dated April 5, 2024, sent to the facility's ownership/management team by the Nursing Home
Administrator revealed a Weekly Nursing Home Administrator report, dated March 29, 2024, to April 5,
2024. I forgot to include in my report that we have started soft opening of the main dining room and S2 unit
dining room this week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It has been a huge hit, and we will continue twice
weekly throughout this month, then it will move to daily next month. This is for lunch only.
Observations on August 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2024, during the lunch meal revealed that there were no
residents eating in the main dining room during the meal and the doors were closed and locked.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on August 28, 2024, at 11:35 a.m. revealed that they had
started with residents eating in the main dining room on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and shortly after that the
air conditioning units went down. With the high temperatures outside it was decided to close the main dining
room until they got quotes from vendors to decide if they were going with replacement parts or buying new
units.

Interview with the Maintenance Director on August 28, 2024, at 12:57 p.m. confirmed that he was advised
by staff that the air conditioning units were not working in the main dining room. He indicated that on August
5, 2024, he had a vendor come to the facility to look at the air conditioning units. He received a quote on
fixing the air conditioning units on August 23, 2024. He indicated that he is currently waiting for a quote to
see if replacing the air conditioning units would be more cost effective than just repairing them. He indicated
that they did not attempt any other interventions to try and keep the dining room open so that the residents
could still eat in the main dining room and that it was decided to just close the main dining room down.

production, which helps the body get rid of extra salt and fluid) related to edema (swelling caused by fluid
trapped in the body's tissues). Staff was to administer her medications as ordered.
Physician's orders for Resident 2, dated June 1, 2024, included an order for staff to weigh the resident
daily, and if the resident's weight was up two pounds or five pounds in one week staff was to administer 40
milligrams (mg) of Lasix (used to treat edema due to heart failure) along with 20 milliequivalent (mEq) of
Potassium (a mineral that your body needs to work properly)
A review of Resident 143's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for July 2024 revealed that the
resident's weight on July 10, 2024, was 182.8 pounds; on July 11, 2024, the resident's weight was 186.4
pounds (3.6 pound increase); on July 28, 2024, the resident's weight was 181.8 pounds; and on July 29,
2024, the resident's weight was 185.2 pounds (3.4 pound increase). However, there was no documented
evidence that staff had administered the Lasix and Potassium as ordered.
Physician's orders for Resident 2, dated May 22, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive two

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on review of clinical records and the facility's investigation documents, as well as staff interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the residents' environment remained as free from falls
as possible and failed to develop and implement interventions to prevent falls for one of 57 residents
reviewed (Resident 165) who had a history of falling.
Findings include:
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 165, dated August 6, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired,
required extensive assistance for daily care needs and assistance for transfers, had a history of falls, and
had diagnoses that included lower back pain, difficulty walking, and dementia.
A nursing note for Resident 165, dated August 22, 2024, at 8:20 p.m., revealed that the resident had a fall
out of her wheelchair to the side of her bed. Resident 165 was assessed and had a red, swollen right wrist
with no injuries as evidenced by an X-ray on August 22, 2024. An incident report for Resident 165, dated
August 22, 2024, revealed that after Resident 165 was assessed she was assisted to her wheelchair and
taken to the nurses' station. There was no documented evidence that a new intervention was put in place to
prevent future falls.
A nursing note for Resident 165, dated August 25, 2024, at 8:30 a.m., revealed that the resident had a fall
to the right side of her bed. Resident 165 was assessed and had no injuries. An incident report for Resident
165, dated August 25, 2024, revealed that the bed alarm was sounding at the time of the fall. Resident 165
was assessed, assisted to her wheelchair, and taken in the hall for close observation. There was no
documented evidence that a new intervention was put in place to prevent future falls.
An interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on August 28, 2024, at 12:19 a.m. confirmed that there
were no new interventions put in place to prevent future falls on the above mentioned dates and there
should have been.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on August 28, 2024, at 3:48 p.m. confirmed that new
interventions were not put in place to prevent future falls for Resident 165 on the above mentioned dates
and there should have been.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that enteral feedings (feeding through a tube inserted directly into the stomach)
were administered in accordance with physician's orders and failed to ensure that residents who were
receiving enteral feedings received appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications for two of
57 residents reviewed (Residents 20, 56).
A facility policy for tube feeding, dated May 8, 2024, revealed that it is the policy and procedure to provide
nourishment to the resident who is unable to obtain nourishment orally. The procedure for administering
tube feeding includes to check for residual (the amount of gastric fluid in the stomach between feedings) by
pulling back no more than 150 cubic centimeters (cc). Note the amount of residual if any. Return the gastric
contents back into the stomach and clamp the gastric tube.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 20, dated August 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was usually understood,
could usually understand others, and had a feeding tube. A care plan for the resident, dated July 18, 2022,
revealed that the resident was at risk for malnutrition due to need for tube feeding, thickened fluids,
mechanically altered diet, and poor intake at times. Staff was to provide the resident with her tube feed as
ordered. The resident was to receive Jevity 1.5 (a type of nutritional tube feeding) if she consumed less
than 50 percent of her meal.
Physician's orders for Resident 20, dated November 24, 2023, included an order for the resident to receive
237 milliliters (ml) of Jevity 1.5 if the resident ate less than 50 percent of each meal.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 20, dated July and August 2024,
revealed that staff did not administer the 237 ml of Jevity 1.5 to the resident on July 6, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.
after consuming 0 to 25 percent of her meal; staff administered the 237 ml of Jevity 1.5 on July 14, 2024, at
1:00 p.m. after consuming 76 to 100 percent of her meal; July 23, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. after consuming 51 to
75 percent of her meal; August 7, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. after consuming 51 to 75 percent of her meal; and on
August 8, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. after consuming 76 to 100 percent of her meal.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on August 28, 2024, at 12:50 p.m. confirmed that Resident
20 was not receiving her tube feedings as ordered by the physician
A quarterly MDS for Resident 56, dated May 15, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired,
was dependent on staff for eating and personal hygiene needs, had diagnoses that included dementia, and
had a feeding tube.
Physician's orders for Resident 56, dated July 3, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive a
240-milliliter (ml) bolus (a method of tube feeding that involves delivering large amounts of formula over a
short period of time) of Isosource 1.5 (a type of nutritional tube feeding) through her feeding tube after
meals if she consumed less than 50 percent of her meal by mouth.
A care plan for Resident 56, dated June 7, 2022, indicated that the resident needed assistance in
maintaining or improving her nutritional status. Staff were to check residual and positioning of her feeding
tube prior to administering a bolus of 250 ml of Isosource 1.5 if she consumed less than 50

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 policies, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that controlled medications (drugs with the potential to be abused) were properly secured
in the medication cart for one of 57 residents reviewed (Resident 14) and failed to ensure that medications
were appropriately labeled for one of 57 residents reviewed (Resident 47).
The facility's policy for medication storage dated May 8, 2024, included that all controlled drugs are stored
under double-lock and key.
Physician's orders for Resident 14, dated August 25, 2024, included an order to give the resident 0.5
milligrams (mg) of Clonazepam every eight hours for anxiety.
Observations of the [NAME] Hall medication cart on August 27, 2024, at 8:39 a.m. revealed that the second
drawer from the top of the medication cart had one medicine cup in it containing one round yellow pill.
There was no name or label attached to the medication or cup. An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse
4 at the time of the observation revealed that the medication was a controlled medication called
Clonazepam (controlled medication that can be used to treat anxiety) that was already signed out of a
different medication cart and intended to be given to a Resident 14 during the morning medication pass.
The medication cart she was using was not used on all shifts; therefore, it did not contain its own controlled
medication drawer.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on August 27, 2024, at 2:35 p.m. confirmed that medications
should not be prepared ahead of time and stored unlabeled in a medication cart and that narcotic
medication should be stored behind a double lock.
The facility's policy regarding medication labeling, dated May 8, 2024, indicated that it is the policy and
procedure of this facility to ensure that all medications maintained in the facility are properly labeled and in
accordance with current state and federal regulations. Labels for individual drug containers must include
directions for use. Only the issuing pharmacy may place a drug label on a medication container. The
pharmacy must be informed of any changes in directions for the use of a drug. Drugs dispensed by
physicians must be labeled in accordance with established procedures. Only physicians or pharmacists
may change medication labels.
Physician's orders for Resident 47, dated March 9, 2024, included an order for the resident to receive 17
grams (gms) of Miralax (a gentle laxative designed to relieve occasional constipation) in eight ounces (oz)
of water daily via peg tube (a tube inserted through the skin and the stomach wall).
Observations during the medication administration on August 27, 2024, at 8:43 a.m. revealed that Licensed
Practical Nurse 5 prepared Resident 47's Miralax and administered the Miralax via mouth. The label on the
Miralax indicated that the resident was to receive 17 gms of Miralax in eight oz of water daily via peg tube.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 5 on August 27, 2024, at 8:41 a.m. indicated that Resident 47 does
not have a peg tube anymore, and there should have been a change of direction sticker on the label for the
Miralax.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on review of clinical records and investigation documents, as well as staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that clinical records were complete and accurately documented
for one of 57 residents reviewed (Resident 225).
Findings include:
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 225, dated August 15, 2024, indicated that the resident was understood, could
understand, was cognitively intact, required assistance with daily care tasks, and required hemodialysis
treatments (procedure that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to
do so).
A care plan for Resident 225, dated August 9, 2024, indicated that she was at nutritional risk due to the
need for more protein due to end-stage renal disease and hemodialysis. Resident 225 had an intervention
to monitor, record, and report any muscle wasting or significant weight loss to the physician.
Physician's order for Resident 225, dated August 9, 2024 indicated that the resident was ordered daily
weights for health monitoring and to notify the physician if there was a four-pound or greater weight gain.
There was no documentation in Resident 225's clinical record to indicate that daily weights were
documented for August 10, 11, 17, and 18, 2024.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on August 28, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. confirmed that there was
no documented evidence in Resident 225's clinical record to indicate that daily weights were documented
for the dates listed above. Facility staff were obtaining the weight, but there was no area in the clinical
record to chart the weight, nor did staff enter the daily weights into the vitals section.

facility with a copy for each hospice patient of the most recent plan of care specific to each patient, the
physician certification and recertification of the terminal illness specific to each patient.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs)for Resident 128, dated July 10, 2024, revealed that the resident was rarely understood and
had a memory problem, was dependent on staff for her daily care needs, and had a diagnosis of dementia.
A care plan for Resident 128, dated August 2, 2024, indicated that the resident was receiving hospice care.
A hospice Election of Benefit document (a form signed to indicate that the individual waives all rights to
traditional Medicare Part A payments for treatment related to the terminal illness) for Resident 128, dated
September 9, 2022, revealed that the resident was receiving hospice services effective September 9, 2022.
As of August 27, 2024, there was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record, or in the
hospice provider's clinical record, that the facility obtained the current hospice recertification of terminal
illness or plan of care from the hospice provider for the certification period.

determined that the facility failed to use proper infection control practices for cleaning durable medical
equipment for two of 57 residents reviewed (Residents 47, 133), and for providing care for five of 57
residents reviewed (Residents 101, 152, 163, 184, 204).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Observations during the medication administration on August 27, 2024, at 8:37 a.m. revealed that Licensed
Practical Nurse 5 obtained Resident 47's blood pressure prior to preparing the resident's medications. After
Licensed Practical Nurse 5 administered Resident 47 her medications, she then went to Resident 133's
room. Without cleaning the blood pressure cuff, she then obtained Resident 133's blood pressure prior to
preparing his medications for administration.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 5 on August 27, 2024, at 9:03 a.m. confirmed that the blood
pressure cuff should have been cleaned prior to obtaining Resident 133's blood pressure.
Interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing on August 27, 2024, at 2:41 p.m. confirmed that the blood
pressure cuff should have been cleaned between residents.
The facility's policy concerning handling of linen, dated May 8, 2024, revealed that staff is to handle soiled

CDC guidance on isolation precautions and Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in
Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs), dated July 12, 2022,
indicates that multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities,
contributing to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced
Barrier Precautions (EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant
organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS
updated its infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now
include the use of EBP during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling
medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or
colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do
not apply.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 152, dated August 2, 2024, revealed that he was understood, could understand,
was cognitively intact, was dependent on staff for care, and had a urinary catheter (a soft flexible plastic
tube inserted in the bladder to drain urine). A care plan for Resident 152, dated July 28, 2024, indicated
that the resident had a catheter with an intervention to monitor for signs and symptoms of infection.
Physician's orders for Resident 152, dated July 28, 2024, included an order for Foley catheter care to be
completed every shift.
Observations and interview with Resident 152 on August 25, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. revealed that he was
admitted to the facility because he had an urinary tract infection and needed antibiotics. He was sitting in
his wheelchair and there was a urine collection bag secured under his wheelchair. There was no visible
signage of EBP around or near the doorway, no personal protection equipment (PPE) available outside of
the room, and no designated receptacle for PPE removal.
