Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of resident care needs) for two of 22
residents reviewed (Residents R1 and R46).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/04/96, with diagnoses that included
tracheostomy (a hole made through the front of the neck and into the windpipe [trachea] where a tube is
placed to keep the hole open for breathing), gastrostomy tube (a surgical incision is made through the
abdomen wall and into the stomach to insert a tube to provide feedings through when a person cannot take
food or liquids by mouth), and spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (a severe form of cerebral palsy that
affects all four limbs often times including the torso and face. Individuals experience muscle stiffness,
uncontrolled muscle contractions, joint inflexibility and difficulty communicating).
Resident R1's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 5/20/24, indicating he/she receives Jevity
1.5 (a high calorie, fiber fortified liquid supplement for tube feedings) at 50 milliliters (ml) per hours
continuously.

Status Section K0520 Nutritional Approaches indicated to check all of the following nutritional approaches
that apply while a resident of the facility and within the last seven days. Section K0520B Feeding Tube
(examples - nasogastric or abdominal [Peg]) was not checked for Resident R1 to identify they were
receiving a feeding tube while a resident of the facility and within the last seven days.
During an interview 1/09/25, at 9:34 a.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident R1's MDS with an
ARD of 11/11/24, Section K0520B was coded inaccurately and should have been checked for having a
feeding tube while a resident at the facility and within the last seven days.
Resident R46's clinical record revealed an admission date of 7/07/20, with diagnoses that included
Alzheimer's Disease (brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and, over time the ability to
carry out the simplest tasks), and diabetes (a health condition that caused by the body's inability to produce
enough insulin).
Resident R46's clinical record revealed no evidence of weight loss or weight gain in the last month or six
months.
An MDS with an ARD of 7/12/24, under section Swallowing/Nutritional Status section K0300 Weight loss
revealed for loss of 5% in the last month or loss of 10% or more in last 6 months was coded as Yes, not on
prescribed weight loss regimen.
An MDS with an ARD of 9/10/24, under section Swallowing/Nutritional Status section K0300 Weight loss
revealed for loss of 5% in the last month or loss of 10% or more in last 6 months was coded as Yes, not on
prescribed weight loss regimen.

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 label a multi-dose insulin (medication to treat elevated blood sugar levels) vial with the date it was
opened, in one of five medication carts (Memory Lane) and failed to ensure medications for
self-administration were properly secured for one of 22 residents reviewed (Resident R22).
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled Vials and Ampules of Injectable Medications dated 6/11/24, indicated
vials and ampules medications are used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations or the
providers pharmacy's directions for storage, use, and disposal. It also indicated that at a minimum, the date
opened must be recorded.
Review of the facility policy entitled Self-Administration of Medications dated 6/11/24, indicated
self-administered medications are stored in a safe and secure place, which is not accessible by other
residents. If safe storage is not possible in the resident's room, the medications of the residents permitted
to self-administer are stored on a central medication cart or in the medication room. A licensed nurse
transfers the unopened medication to the resident when the resident requests them.
Observation on 1/07/25, at 8:30 a.m. revealed the Memory Lane medication cart contained an opened
undated multi-dose Lantus insulin vial and the manufacturer's packaging was labeled to discard within 28
days of opening.
During an interview at that time, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E1 confirmed that multi-dose
vials/containers of medication are to be dated upon opening to ensure that staff discard them in a timely
manner and the medication is not to be utilized past the medication expiration.
Resident R22's clinical record revealed an admission date of 6/16/16, with diagnoses that included
diverticulitis (an inflammation or infection in the digestive tract), type II diabetes (condition where the
pancreas does not make enough insulin), and hypothyroidism (condition where the thyroid gland does not
produce enough thyroid hormone).
Resident R22's physician's orders dated 3/04/24, revealed an order indicating Resident R22 may
self-administer medications. Medications must be returned to nurse in between administration times for safe
keeping.
Observation of Resident R22's room on 1/07/25, at approximately 10:00 a.m. revealed a plastic storage bin
filled with multiple medications sitting on the resident's bedside tray table. At that time, Resident R22 stated
he/she self-administers his/her medications and that the medications remain on his/her bedside tray table
all day.
During an interview on 1/07/25, at approximately 10:12 a.m. LPN Employee E6 confirmed that Resident
R22's medications are given to him/her in a plastic storage bin and are left in Resident R22's room
throughout the day, unsecured.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0842
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to maintain complete and accurate documentation for two of 22 residents reviewed (Residents R1
and R37).
Findings include:
Facility policy entitled Documentation dated 6/11/24, indicated to document information as soon as possible
to ensure accuracy of the information and to reflect ongoing care and to document only care, treatment,
and medication that have actually been provided or administered.
Facility policy entitled Enteral Tube Feeding Via Continuous Pump dated 6/11/24, indicated the person
performing the procedure should record the amount and type of enteral feeding and the average fluid intake
per day.
Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/04/96, with diagnoses that included
tracheostomy (a hole made through the front of the neck and into the windpipe [trachea] where a tube is
placed to keep the hole open for breathing), gastrostomy tube (a surgical incision is made through the
abdomen wall and into the stomach to insert a tube to provide feedings through when a person cannot take
food or liquids by mouth), and spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (a severe form of cerebral palsy that
affects all four limbs often times including the torso and face. Individuals experience muscle stiffness,
uncontrolled muscle contractions, joint inflexibility and difficulty communicating).
Resident R1's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 5/24/24, for flush enteral feeding tube with
150 milliliter (ml) of water every four hours (300 ml of water per shift plus more depending on medication
administration) and with 50 ml of water before and after medication administration; a physician's order
dated 5/20/24, for Jevity 1.5 (a high calorie, fiber fortified liquid supplement for tube feedings) at 50 ml per
hour continuous via gastric tube (a total of 400 ml per shift and 1200 ml total of formula in a twenty-four
hour period); and a physician's order dated 5/20/24, to document the amount of formula and water provided
every eight hours - total intake every twenty-four hours.
Review of documentation of water flushes for Resident R1 from 12/10/24, through 1/07/25, under staff
tasks revealed Resident R1 received less than the ordered 300 ml of water flush per shift (not counting
medication flushes) one time on day shift, one time on evening shift, and three times on overnight shift.
Documentation also revealed that facility lacked any evidence of water flushes one time on day shift, eight
times on evening shift, and three times on overnight shift.
Review of documentation of formula intake for Resident R1 from 12/10/24, through 1/07/25, under staff
tasks revealed Resident R1 received less than the ordered 400 ml of formula per shift four times on day
shift, ten times on evening shift, and eleven times on overnight shift; and Resident R1 received more than
the ordered 400 ml of formula per shift eleven times on day shift, seven times on evening shift, and eleven
times on overnight shift. Documentation also revealed that facility lacked any evidence of formula being
provided one time on day shift, seven times on evening shift, and three times on overnight shift.

F 0880
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, observation, and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to follow acceptable infection control practices regarding enhanced barrier precautions
(EBP) during observation of tracheostomy (a hole made through the front of the neck and into the windpipe
[trachea] where a tube is placed to keep the hole open for breathing) care for one of three residents
observed for care requiring EBP (Resident R1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A facility policy entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated 6/11/24, indicated that Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms to residents. The
policy further stated that high contact resident care activities that require the use of gown and gloves for
EBP's included devise care or use such as tracheostomies and that face protection may be used if there is
also a risk of splash or spray.
Resident R1's clinical record revealed an admission date of 11/04/96, with diagnoses that included
tracheostomy (a hole made through the front of the neck and into the windpipe [trachea] where a tube is
placed to keep the hole open for breathing), gastrostomy tube (a surgical incision is made through the
abdomen wall and into the stomach to insert a tube to provide feedings through when a person cannot take
food or liquids by mouth), and spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (a severe form of cerebral palsy that
affects all four limbs often times including the torso and face. Individuals experience muscle stiffness,
uncontrolled muscle contractions, joint inflexibility and difficulty communicating).
Resident R1's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 10/24/24, that identified for the use of
Enhanced Barrier Precautions for Tracheostomy.
Observation of tracheostomy care on 1/06/25, at 1:50 p.m. revealed signage on Resident R1's door
identifying EBP. Personal protective equipment (PPE) was readily available outside Resident R1's door
including goggles, surgical mask, gloves, and gowns. Registered Nurse (RN) Employee E2 had a surgical
mask on, but pulled down below his/her nose, and gloves, and failed to DON (put on) required proper
personal protective equipment (PPE) by not wearing a gown during tracheostomy care for Resident R1.
During an interview on 1/06/25, at 1:56 p.m. RN Employee E2 confirmed he/she did not wear a gown as
required stating that if the resident does not have an infection or COVID, he/she does not wear a gown and
the additional PPE was not needed if the resident was well.
