Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through
support of resident choice.
Based on observations and resident and staff interview, 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 rising
for the day, for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 108).
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 108 revealed an initial MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment tool
completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated May 26, 2024, that indicated
Resident 108 believed that it was very important to care for her personal belongings, choose between a
bed bath, shower, or a sponge bath, choose the clothes to wear, to have snacks available between meals,
and choose a bedtime, and have a family member or close friend involved in care discussion(s).
Interview with Resident 108 on November 19, 2024, at 10:41 AM revealed that she preferred to get up at
7:00 AM and go to bed between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM. She revealed that there were some days when she
was still in bed at 12:00 PM and did not get to bed until 9:00 PM or 9:30 PM, due to late supper meal
delivery (7:00 PM) most nights.
Observation on November 20, 2024, at 10:40 AM revealed that Resident 108 was still in bed. She again
reiterated her preference of getting up for the day between 7:00 AM and 7:30 AM.
The surveyor reviewed the information for Resident 108 during an interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator and the Director of Nursing on November 20, 2024, at 1:45 PM.

**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 establish clear advance
directives for one of five residents reviewed (Resident 15).
Findings include:
A review of the census for Resident 15 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Current physician orders for Resident 15 revealed an order dated [DATE], that indicated the resident was a
Full Code (attempt resuscitation and CPR when the person has no pulse and is not breathing).
Nursing documentation for Resident 15 dated [DATE], at 1:19 PM revealed the resident is a full code.
Facility documentation titled, Code Status for Resident 15 and dated [DATE], indicated the resident was
marked with a check indicating Do Not Resuscitate (do not attempt CPR when the person has no pulse and
is not breathing).
The form was signed by Resident 15 and the medical provider and dated [DATE], by both.
The above discrepancy between the resident's signed wishes and the physician order was reviewed in a
meeting with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE], at 2:35 PM.
Nursing documentation for Resident 15 dated [DATE], at 5:37 PM after speaking with the NHA and DON,
revealed, Chart currently listed as full code; however, documentation signed on [DATE], indicates wishes to
be DNR. After discussion the resident does wish to be a full code.
Further review of the orders for Resident 15 dated [DATE], revealed that staff entered the resident order as
a DNR (do not attempt resuscitation and CPR when the person has no pulse and is not breathing).
The above information was reviewed again with the NHA and DON on [DATE], at 1:00 PM.

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**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 protect a resident's right
to be free from physical abuse from another resident that resulted in actual harm with a serious injury of a
left femoral neck fracture for one of two residents reviewed for resident-to-resident interactions. (Resident
399 [Resident 90], Unit 1 East).
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a
diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other mental functions
related to brain cell connections and the cells degenerate and die).
Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note dated October 24, 2024, at 2:02 PM that
indicated a nurse aide witnessed Resident 399 get kicked in the right side and she was threatened by
Resident 90. Resident 399 was immediately removed from the room to the lounge area. Resident 90 was
interviewed as to what happened and she indicated that she was defending herself.
Further clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a nursing progress note dated October 24, 2024, at
2:43 PM that indicated she was kicked in her right torso by Resident 90. No injuries were noted to the
resident, and she denied complaints of pain or discomfort. The note also indicated that Resident 399 had
no recollection of the event.
Review of the facility's investigation into the Resident-to-Resident event involving Resident 399 and
Resident 90, dated October 24, 2024, at 1:35 PM revealed that the two residents were separated, and
15-minute checks were initiated. Review of the 15-minute check monitoring form provided by the facility
revealed that they were completed and have been ongoing since the event of October 24, 2024.
Review of the witness statement provided by the nurse aide that reported the above noted event revealed
that she was walking by Resident 399 and Resident 90's room when she heard screaming. She stopped
and went into the room, and she noted Resident 399 was on Resident 90's side of the room confused and
stated that she needed help getting her daughter out of the wall because she was stuck. At that time
Resident 90 kicked Resident 399 in the right side and said that she was going to kill her if she didn't leave
her alone. The nurse aide provided reassurance to Resident 399 as she led her out of the room. The nurse
aide also indicated in her statement that Resident 90 continued to kick at Resident 399 and tell her she was
going to kill her if she came back into the room.
Further clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed a physician's order dated October 24, 2024, that
indicated she was to be one-to-one every shift for monitoring. The order was discontinued on November 9,
2024. When the surveyor requested documentation of the one-to-one monitoring for Resident 90, on
November 22, 2024, at 12:30 PM the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) revealed that they had initiated
one-to-one on October 24, 2024, but she verbally discontinued it with the RN supervisor later that evening
because Resident 90 calmed down. She also indicated that 15-minute checks remained in place and were
being completed.
Clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed a progress note dated October 25, 2024, at 4:04 PM that
indicated Resident 90 was being combative and trying to attack Resident 399 and staff. The note

going to slap Resident 399 and break her television.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
A progress note dated October 25, 2024, at 4:41 PM for Resident 90 revealed that she was becoming
increasingly physically and verbally aggressive. She hit a staff member in the face and was refusing
medications. She was stating that everyone is attempting to poison her. The physician was made aware,
and Resident 90 was sent to the emergency room for a psych evaluation and treatment. Resident 90
returned from the emergency room on October 26, 2024, around 5:00 AM, with no new orders. She
remained in the same room with Resident 399, upon her return, with the same resident that she kicked two
days earlier, and continued to threaten to kill her, slap her, and break her television
Clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note date October 27, 2024, at 10:00 PM that
indicated she was observed on the floor just inside her room. She complained of left hip pain and was
reluctant to straighten her left leg. Her left leg was also noted to be shorter in length. The nurse practitioner
was notified and ordered for Resident 399 to go to the emergency room for an evaluation.
Further clinical record review for Resident 399 revealed a progress note dated October 28, 2024, at 12:39
AM that indicated she was admitted to the hospital with a comminuted intertrochanteric fracture of the left
femoral neck (a bone broken in multiple pieces in the area of the femur that connects the ball joint to the
shaft of the thigh bone).
Review of the facility's investigation into Resident 399's fall revealed a witness statement that indicated the
staff member was walking down the hallway and heard Resident 90 say, Bitch, so she went into the room.
She noted that Resident 399 was on the floor complaining of pain and Resident 90 was lying in bed. When
the witness asked Resident 399 what happened, Resident 90 interjected and stated she picked her up and
threw her to the ground because she was attacking her. Resident 90 had no injuries when assessed.
Review of the facility reported event dated October 27, 2024, at 9:27 pm revealed that Resident 399
indicated that she was coming out of the bathroom and Resident 90 pushed her and she fell. The event
indicated that Resident 90 was unprovoked.
Clinical record review for Resident 90 revealed an MDS (Minimum Data Set, an assessment completed at
intervals by the facility to determine care needs) quarterly assessment that revealed Resident 90 had a
BIMS (Brief interview for mental status, an assessment to determine a resident's cognitive status) of 13,
indicating she was cognitively intact.
On October 27, 2024, Resident 399 had a fall in her room and Resident 90 admitted to throwing her to the
ground. The actions by Resident 90, resulted in a fracture to Resident 399's left femoral head requiring
hospital admission and intervention.
The NHA was made aware of the concerns related to resident-to-resident abuse on November 22, 2024, at
2:39 PM and the failure of the facility to initiate further interventions (i.e., a room move, use of outside
resources, etc.) to prevent resident-to-resident abuse resulting in a major injury to Resident 399.
The facility failed to protect Resident 399's right to be free from physical abuse by another resident resulting
in actual harm to Resident 399, of a left femoral neck fracture.

Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, review of select policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to implement their abuse policy regarding completion of an investigation of
an unknown injury for one of six residents reviewed (Resident 118) and background check screening for
one of five newly hired employees (Employee 4 ).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The policy entitled Resident Abuse and Neglect Prevention Program last reviewed on May 28, 2024,
indicates that the facility will investigate bruises and/or marks of unknown origin. An incident/accident report
will be initiated by the charge nurse and an investigation is initiated to rule out the possibility of abuse. The
policy does not indicate how other injuries will be investigated to rule out abuse, such as fractures. The
policy indicates to refer to the policy entitled Incident/Accident Investigative Reports. The policy indicates
that the facility will conduct a criminal background check on all prospective staff utilizing the State Police
and Federal Bureau of Investigation if required. The criminal background check will be completed within 30
days for State Police report.
The undated policy entitled Investigation of Incidents and Unusual Occurrences was received when this
surveyor asked for the policy entitled Incident/Accident Investigative Reports. Review of this policy did not
indicate how the facility will investigate injuries of unknown origin to rule out the potential for abuse.
Review of Resident 118's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated October 7, 2024, at 6:35
AM indicating that Resident 118 was complaining of left rib pain. Nursing indicated that Resident 118's
doctor would be notified.
Nursing documentation dated October 8, 2024, at 6:00 AM indicated that Resident 118 continued with
complaints of left rib pain and was requesting an x-ray.
Nursing documentation dated October 8, 2024, at 12:25 PM revealed that an order for an x-ray was

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on review of facility documentation, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to identify the potential for, ensure a complete and thorough investigation of, and to ensure
timely reporting of an incident involving the potential for neglect for one of 29 residents reviewed (Resident
65)
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 65 revealed nursing documentation dated November 7, 2024, at 2:19
PM that indicated that staff was notified at 11:00 AM by Resident 65 that she had a fall. Resident 65
revealed that the fall occurred prior to the change of shift. She noted that she requested to be changed
(receive incontinence care). The (nurse) aide came in and when I rolled to by side, I rolled out of the bed
and landed on my knees. The (nurse) aide went and got another aide and helped me back into bed. Staff
noted that Resident 65 was capable and sustained two small abrasions on both of Resident 65's knees and
a scratch on her right elbow.
Review of Resident 65's care plan revealed that on June 17, 2024, the facility implemented that the resident
required two (staff) assist to reposition and turn in bed.
Review of a facility's investigation dated October 7, 2024, confirmed the nursing documentation; however,
failed to identify the staff member who rolled Resident 65 out of bed, failed to identify that Resident 65
needed to have two staff with bed mobility, and failed to report this potential for neglect to the appropriate
state and local agencies. Review of Employee 9's, nurse aide, statement dated October 7, 2024, revealed
that a (unidentified) nurse aide came to her office regarding the above noted incident with Resident 65. The
nurse aide revealed that Resident 65 was crying and requested that Employee 9 go see Resident 65. The
nurse aide noted that they rolled her out of bed, just put her back in bed, and she hurt all over. Employee 9
visited Resident 65 confirmed her statement noted in the nursing documentation stating the nurse aide was
a little annoyed and rolled her right out of bed onto the floor, went out of the room, and returned with
another aide. They lowered the bed, and it took several attempts to get her back into bed. Employee 9
reported this information to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), (prior) Director of Nursing (DON), and
Assistant Director of Nursing.
Review of Employee 10's, nurse aide, statement received November 22, 2024, via a telephone call with the
NHA, Employee 9, and the DON, revealed that a nurse aide had requested her help that night to get
Resident 65 back to bed as Resident 65's bottom half had slid off the bed. Employee 10 assisted the nurse
aide to get Resident 65 back into bed, noting, I did not realize she (the nurse aide) had not told anyone else
(i.e., nursing staff).
There were no statements available from the nurse aide who rolled Resident 65 out of bed, no
documentation that the facility identified the potential for neglect, and that the facility notified the
appropriate State and Local agencies regarding the incident and potential for neglect.
This surveyor reviewed this information during an interview with the NHA and Director of Nursing on
November 22, 2024, at 10:34 AM.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the
highest practicable care regarding physician ordered treatments and medications for three of 29 residents
reviewed (Residents 52, 131, and 300).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed a diagnosis list that included sepsis (a systemic response
to infection) and resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs.
Observation of Resident 131 on November 20, 2024, at 11:00 AM revealed the resident was sitting in a
wheelchair at the foot of the bed. The resident had a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter; a
thin, soft, flexible tube inserted through a vein in the arm and passed through to the larger veins near the
heart for the administration of fluids or medication) in the left arm.
Current physician orders for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 19, 2024, that noted the
resident was to receive Meropenem (an antibiotic) two grams intravenously every eight hours for sepsis
related to a thigh abscess (a tender mass filled with pus caused due to infection).
Review of the November 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 131 revealed that
staff had not documented the resident as having received the medication as ordered, refused the
medication, or was not available for administration on the following dates/times:
The 5:00 AM dose of the antibiotic on November 4, 7, 8, and 16.
The 1:00 PM dose of the antibiotic on November 14, 17, and 18.
The 9:00 PM dose of the antibiotic on November 15.
Further review of the clinical record for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 10, 2024, that
instructed staff to change the PICC line dressing every day shift every Sunday.
Review of the current care plan for Resident 131 revealed the resident has a potential for complications at
the intravenous (IV) insertion site, which also included care for a dislodged PICC line (cleanse site and
place a dry dressing, inspect tubing for breakage, measure the total length compared to the insertion notes
and if not whole notify the physician and send the resident to the emergency room for evaluation).
The care plan for Resident 131 did not contain anything related to further assessment of possible
complications related to the PICC line (such as extremity edema, infection, and/or catheter migration).
The above information was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on
November 22, 2024, at 1:00 PM.
Clinical record review for Resident 300 revealed the resident was ordered inner cannula (a tube that fits
inside a tracheostomy) changes daily to his tracheostomy (a hole in the front of the neck into the windpipe)
since October 17, 2024.

or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation of Resident 300's tracheostomy care and inner cannula change on November 21,
2024, at 11:08 AM, Resident 300 was asked if staff were performing this task daily in which the resident
responded, sometimes.
A review of Resident 300's November treatment record for the daily inner cannula changes revealed no
evidence the changes were completed on November 10, 12, 16, 17 or 18, 2024. There was no evidence to
indicate the resident refused or other reason the inner cannula changes were not completed or
documented as completed as ordered.
An observation of Resident 300 on November 19, 2024, at 1:03 PM revealed the resident was in the dining
room with a bandage over his right elbow. Resident 300 stated he had an IV there.
Clinical record review for Resident 300 revealed the resident had a fall on November 10, 2024, in which the
resident sustained a skin tear to the right elbow.
Review of physician orders for Resident 300 revealed an order dated November 10, 2024, for staff to apply
xeroform gauze to the right elbow daily until healed and to cleanse the area with normal saline prior to
application.
An observation of Resident 300 on November 21, 2024, at 10:30 AM revealed the resident had a dressing
on his right elbow. The dressing was dated November 19, 2024.
A review of Resident 300's treatment record revealed no documented evidence the resident's treatment
was completed on November 20, 2024. There was no documented refusal of the treatment or reason it was
not completed.
In an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on November 21, 2024, at 11:23 AM the findings
regarding Resident 300's inner cannula changes and treatment to the resident's elbow were reviewed.
Clinical record review for Resident 300 revealed the resident had recently transitioned from receiving

A nutrition progress note dated November 14, 2024, at 11:39 AM noted a family member of the resident
was notified of the discontinuation of Resident 300's enteral feeding and the family member requested the
resident receive a multivitamin (MVI) daily. It was noted Resident 300's physician would be contacted to
order the MVI.
Review of a physician's progress note for Resident 300 dated November 15, 2024, at 5:08 PM (late entry
note documented on November 17, 2024, at 11:08 AM) indicated the plan for the resident's discontinuation
of the enteral feeding and order for a daily MVI was noted.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
provide appropriate respiratory care and services for three of three residents reviewed (Residents 73, 122,
and 300).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 73 revealed a current physician's order for staff to provide oxygen at 4
liters per minute (LPM) via NC (nasal canula, tubing to deliver oxygen to the nose), monitor (Resident 73's)
oxygen saturation (the amount of oxygen in the blood) every shift and ensure the appropriate flow rate
every day and evening shift.
Observation of Resident 73's oxygen concentrator on November 19, 2024, at 12:47 PM revealed that their
oxygen level was set at 6 LPM. Observation on November 20, 2024, at 10:52 AM revealed that Resident
73's oxygen level set was at 6.5 LPM. On November 21, 2024, at 2:26 PM revealed Resident 73's oxygen
level was set at 6.5 LPM. Concurrent interview with Employee 2, nurse aide, confirmed the observation.
During each observation, Resident 73's oxygen concentrator was located at the head of their bed and out
of their reach. Resident 73 was unable to change the oxygen level independently.
Review of Resident 73's oxygen monitoring documentation for October and November 2024, revealed there
was no documentation that staff monitored Resident 73's oxygen level on the following dates:
October 6, 7, 24, 25, and 31, 2024, day shift
October 5, 2024, evening shift
November 6, 18, and 19, 2024, day shift
There was documentation that staff monitored Resident 73's oxygen level on November 20 and 21, 2024,
day shift, however this surveyor observed Resident 73's oxygen administration level above the physician's
ordered level both days.
The surveyor reviewed the above information for Resident 73 during observation and interview with the
Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator on November 21, 2024, at 2:39 PM.
Observations on the Second Floor [NAME] Nursing Unit on November 19, 2024, at 9:32 AM and 10:53 AM
revealed a wheelchair in the main resident hallway with a nasal cannula attached to a portable oxygen
cylinder. The nasal cannula was unprotected from contamination and draped over the back of the
wheelchair and coiled on the seat. The nasal cannula was not labeled or dated. The wheelchair did not
have a resident name tag on it.
An interview with Employee 1, licensed practical nurse, on November 19, 2024, at 10:57 AM revealed it
was unclear who the nasal cannula belonged to and she unsure how the nasal cannula should be stored
and protected from contamination.
An interview with Employee 6, nurse aide, on November 19, 2024, at 11:05 AM revealed that the
wheelchair and nasal cannula belonged to Resident 122. Employee 6 proceeded to remove the nasal
cannula.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation, and staff and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed
to ensure the availability of necessary emergency supplies for one of two residents reviewed receiving
hemodialysis (Resident 52).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 52 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was
receiving hemodialysis (a machine that performs a basic function of the kidney by cleansing the blood of
impurities) three days a week.
A nursing progress note dated November 1, 2024, at 7:28 PM noted the resident had a right chest tunnel
catheter (a central line placed under the skin allowing long term access to a vein) for dialysis.
An observation of Resident 52's room on November 20, 2024, at 10:25 AM did not reveal any emergency
supplies in the resident 's room for the central line to include sterile gauze, hemostat (a tool used to control
bleeding), needleless connector, or tape.
The above information regarding Resident 52's central line for dialysis and no evidence of an emergency kit
in the resident's room was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on
November 20, 2024, at 2:42 PM. The Nursing Home Administrator indicated the kit may have been inside
the resident's closet.
A concurrent observation with the Nursing Home Administrator revealed there was no kit in Resident 52's
closet or otherwise observed in the resident's room.

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
identify triggers related to a resident's diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, to provide culturally,
competent, trauma-informed care, and to eliminate or mitigate re-traumatization for one of four residents
reviewed for mood/behavior (Resident 22).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 22 on November 2, 2015, with a diagnosis of
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD, a mental and behavioral disorder that develops related to a
terrifying event).
Review of Resident 22's annual MDS (Minimum Data Set Assessment, an assessment completed at least
quarterly by the facility to determine the care needs of the resident) dated June 15, 2024, revealed that she
had an active diagnosis of PTSD.
Interview with Resident 22 on November 19, 2024, at 12:10 PM revealed that she has a diagnosis of PTSD
and that she is triggered by people arguing and fighting, screaming, and doors slamming. She also
indicated that she would pick at her fingernail beds and gets very anxious when she is triggered.
Review of Resident 22's clinical record revealed no evidence that the facility identified Resident 22's history
of trauma. A review of Resident 22's care plan revealed there were no identified triggers (everyday
situations that cause a person to re-experience the traumatic event as if it was reoccurring).
Resident 22's clinical record contained no evidence the facility collaborated with the resident, and as
appropriate, the resident's family, friends, and any other healthcare professionals (such as psychologists,
and mental health professionals) to develop and implement individualized interventions.
These findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November
21, 2024, at 2:30 PM.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on clinical record review, review of facility documentation, and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure an appropriate physician response to the consultant pharmacist's
recommendation for one of five residents reviewed for potentially unnecessary medications (Resident 122).
Findings include:
Current physician orders for Resident 122 revealed an order for Oxycodone HCL (an opioid analgesic pain
medication used to treat moderate to severe pain) dated September 10, 2024, that instructed staff to give
one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for moderate to severe pain (4-10) with a maximum daily
amount of 30 milligrams (mg).
Further review of the current physician orders revealed an order for Resident 122 for Acetaminophen
(Tylenol; used to treat mild to moderate pain and/or reduce fever) tablet dated September 10, 2024, that
instructed staff to give 650 mg every four hours as needed for mild pain rated 1-3 and not to exceed 3000
mg in 24 hours.
A consultant pharmacist recommendation dated September 17, 2024, noted the following regarding
Resident 122: This resident has orders for Tylenol as needed (a few times in the evening) and Oxycodone
as needed (uses at bedtime almost every day). Recommendations: Tylenol XR 650 milligrams Arthritis one
by mouth daily at 5:00 PM for pain management; Oxycodone 2.5 milligrams every bedtime for 14 days. The
recommendation indicated a Note written to physician.
The note written to the physician for the above consultant pharmacist recommendation for Resident 122
was not provided to the surveyor by the facility.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on November 21, 2024, at 1:50 PM revealed that the
consultant pharmacist recommendation for Resident 122 was not completed and will be followed-up on
today.

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, clinical record review, review of select manufacturer's guidelines, and staff interview,
it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate below five percent (Residents 1
and 94).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The facility's medication error rate was 16 percent based on 25 medication opportunities with four
medication errors.
Observation of a medication administration pass on November 19, 2024, at 9:30 AM revealed Employee 1,
licensed practical nurse (LPN), preparing to administer Insulin Lispro (helps regulate blood sugars) 60
units, Dulera (used to control symptoms of asthma) inhaler, and Flonase (used to help with nasal allergies)
nasal spray to Resident 1.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated October 22, 2024, that indicated
nursing staff are to administer the Insulin Lispro before meals. Employee 1 administered the Insulin Lispro
almost 90 minutes after Resident 1 ate her breakfast.
Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for the use of Dulera revealed that once the administration is
complete, the user is to rinse their mouth out with water and spit the water out. Employee 1 handed the
Dulera inhaler to Resident 1. Resident 1 administered two sprays and did not rinse her mouth out after
administration. Employee 1 also did not provide any instructions to Resident 1 regarding rinsing her mouth
after use.
Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for the use of Flonase revealed that the user should blow their
nose prior to use and to also hold closed the opposite nostril when administering. Employee 1 handed the
Flonase to Resident 1. Resident 1 administered one spray to each of her nostrils. Resident 1 did not blow
her nose and did not hold the opposite nostril closed. Employee 1 did not provide instructions to Resident 1
regarding blowing her nose prior to use or holding the opposite nostril closed while administering.
Interview with Employee 1 on November 19, 2024, at 1:30 PM confirmed the above observations.
Observation of a medication administration pass on November 20, 2024, at 9:02 AM with Employee 7, LPN,
revealed she administered Glipizide (a medication used to help regulate blood sugar) 5 milligrams to
Resident 94. The medication label indicated that Glipizide was to be given before meals. Employee 7
administered Glipizide after Resident 94 already ate her breakfast.
Interview with Employee 7 on November 20, 2024, at 2:30 PM confirmed that she administered Resident
94's Glipizide after she already ate breakfast.
The Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing were made aware of the concerns with
medication administration during a meeting on November 21, 2024, at 2:22 PM.

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 observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure appropriate
medication security on one of five nursing units (Resident 83, Second Floor East)
Findings include:
Observation of Resident 83 on November 19, 2024, at 2:20 PM revealed the resident was in bed. A bottle
of iodine solution was observed sitting on the resident's tray table in front of her amongst many personal
belongings.
A follow up observation on November 20, 2024, at 10:09 AM revealed the bottle was again observed on the
resident's tray table in front of the resident in bed. The bottle was labeled Povidone-Iodine solution 10%.
Resident 83 indicated she was applying it to a mole on her face and was to put it on daily, but she hasn't in
a long time. Resident 83 indicated she purchased the solution herself, but they know about it, and that I
have it.
Clinical record review revealed no evidence of any iodine solution ordered for Resident 83, any order to
self- administer the solution, or store it in her room. Resident 83 resided in a room with a roommate.
In an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November 21, 2024, at
2:00 PM it was reviewed the iodine solution was in Resident 83's room, unsecured, and accessible to the
resident to self-administer, and other residents on the unit.

Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and
requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to
eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times.
Based on review of the facility meal schedule, observation, and resident and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that meals were served at regularly scheduled times in
accordance with resident needs on three of five nursing units (Resident 9 and 108; Second Floor East,
Second Floor West, and Third Floor East)
Findings include:
Review of the facility's resident food committee minutes dated October 17, 2024, revealed the residents
indicated dinner is late.
Observation on the Second-Floor East nursing unit on November 19, 2024, at 12:28 PM revealed staff
passing lunch meal trays on the unit. Several trays remained in the cart waiting to be passed. Resident 9
who resides on the unit was observed being served lunch during an interview with the resident at 12:40
PM. Resident 9 indicated meals are often late and never when they are told they are going to be, stating
she was supposed to get her lunch around noon. Resident 9 requested an alternate entrée at the
time the meal tray was served to her. The alternate entrée was observed being served to the
Resident 9 at 1:01 PM.
Observation of the lunch tray line in the facility's main kitchen on November 21, 2024, at 12:17 PM revealed
multiple dietary staff assembling resident meal trays. Staff were observed to have completed the first cart
for delivery to the Second [NAME] nursing unit and the cart left the kitchen at 12:39 PM. Observation on the
Second-Floor [NAME] nursing unit revealed the cart arrived on the unit at 12:43 PM when staff immediately
started passing the trays. The last tray was served off the cart at 1:23 PM.
A review of the facility mealtimes document revealed the lunch meal is to be served to residents on the
Second-Floor East unit from 12:05 - 12:10 PM depending if the tray is on first or second cart for the unit.
Resident 9 was served at 12:40 PM on November 19, 2024, a half hour after the approximate delivery time
for her lunch. The approximate time for lunch service on the Second Floor [NAME] first cart noted as
observed above, was 12:20 PM. The cart did not leave the kitchen until 12:39 PM and the last tray was not
served off the cart until 1:23 PM over one hour past the approximate meal service time.
The above findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on
November 21, 2024, at 1:30 PM.
Review of the posted mealtimes for the Third Floor East Nursing Unit revealed that the lunch food trays are
scheduled to arrive on the unit at 12:45 PM.
Observation of the Third Floor East Nursing Unit on November 21, 2024, at 1:20 PM revealed multiple
residents in the dining room awaiting lunch trays, which had not arrived to the unit. Three staff members
were also observed at the nurse's station awaiting lunch trays to arrive.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed
to implement appropriate enhanced barrier transmission-based precautions for three of 29 residents
reviewed (Residents 52, 83, and 131).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the memo entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, gown and glove use) in Nursing Homes
to Prevent the Spread of Multi-drug Resistant Organisms released by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare
Services (CMS) on March 20, 2024, with an implementation date of April 1, 2024, revealed that nursing
care facilities are to use EBP for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices (i.e.,
indwelling urinary catheters) during high-contact resident care activities regardless of their
multidrug-resistant organism status. High-contact activity would include things like dressing, transferring,
changing linens, providing hygiene, changing briefs, wound care, or device care.
Review of the facility policy titled, Infection Control Plan 2024, last reviewed without changes on September
20, 2023, revealed a policy statement that noted an infection control plan is established and maintained to
provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents and staff to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections within the facility. A section of the
policy noted enhanced barrier precautions are an infection control intervention designed to reduce
transmission of MDROs through gown and glove use by healthcare providers in long-term care settings.
EBP recommended during high contact care (such as dressing, bathing, transferring, changing briefs, or
assisting with toileting, device care, wound care, etc.) activities with residents who are at a higher risk of
acquiring or spreading an MDRO (such as residents with indwelling medical devices or wounds). EBP
should be followed when contact precautions do not otherwise apply for residents with any of the following:
open wounds requiring a dressing change, indwelling medical devices (central line, urinary catheter,
feeding tubes, tracheostomy/ventilator) regardless of the MDRO status.
Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed a diagnosis list that included sepsis (a systemic response
to infection) and resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs.
Current physician orders for Resident 131 revealed an order dated November 19, 2024, that noted the
resident was to receive Meropenem (an antibiotic) two grams intravenously every eight hours for sepsis
related to a thigh abscess (a tender mass filled with pus caused due to infection). Another order dated
November 10, 2024, instructed staff to change the PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter; a thin, soft,
flexible tube inserted through a vein in the arm and passed through to the larger veins near the heart for the
administration of fluids or medication) dressing every day shift every Sunday.
Observation of Resident 131 on November 20, 2024, at 11:00 AM revealed the resident was sitting in a
wheelchair at the foot of the bed. The resident had a PICC in the left arm. There was no observed EBPs in
place or evidence of EBPs being utilized (signage indicating EBPs, personal protective equipment (PPE)
such as gowns/gloves, or totes/bins containing PPE).
Clinical record review for Resident 131 revealed no further evidence the resident was on any isolation or
EBPs.
