F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to inform the resident and/or resident representative in advance of the risks and benefits of a psychotropic medication (medications that affect the persons mental state, emotions and behavior) use and the treatment alternatives prior to initiating the administration of the medication for one of 68 residents reviewed (Resident 63).Findings include: A facility policy related to the use of psychotropic medications, dated January 18, 2025, indicated that when determining whether to initiate, modify, or discontinue medication therapy, the interdisciplinary team (IDT) conducts an evaluation of the resident. The evaluation will clarify whether other causes for symptoms have been ruled out, signs and symptoms are clinically significant enough to warrant medication therapy, a particular medication is clinically indicated to manage the symptoms or condition, and the actual or intended benefit of the medication is understood by the resident/representative. Residents (and/or representatives) have the right to decline treatment with psychotropic medications. The staff and physician will review with the resident/representative the risks related to not taking the medication as well as appropriate alternatives. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 63, dated July 11, 2025, revealed that she was cognitively impaired, required assistance with care needs, received antipsychotic medications (a psychotropic medication used to treat mental health disorders) and antidepressant medications (psychotropic medications used to treat depression) and had diagnoses that included Alzheimer's dementia, depression, and anxiety. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated April 23, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 0.25 milligrams (mg) of Risperidone (an antipsychotic medication) daily at bedtime related to dementia with agitation. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated June 18, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 0.25 mg of Risperidone twice daily related to dementia with agitation. There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record that the resident's representative was informed in advance of the risks and benefits and treatment alternatives prior to initiating the increased dose of Risperidone. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated July 7, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 0.25 mg of Risperidone three times daily related to dementia with agitation. There was no documented evidence in the resident's clinical record to indicate that the resident's representative was informed in advance of the risks and benefits and treatment alternatives prior to initiating the increased dose of Risperidone. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated August 28, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 0.25 mg of Risperidone two times daily for seven days, then give 0.25 mg of Risperidone daily for seven days related to dementia with agitation. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated August 28, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 0.5 mg of Rexulti (an antipsychotic medication) daily for seven days, then give 1 mg of Rexulti daily for seven days related to Alzheimer's dementia and dementia with agitation. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated September 8, 2025, revealed that the Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. Based on review of clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from unnecessary psychotropic drugs (drugs that affect a person's mental state, emotions, and behavior) for two of 68 residents reviewed (Residents 63 and 67). Findings include: A facility policy related to the use of psychotropic medications, dated January 18, 2025, indicated that nonpharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize the need for medications, permit the lowest possible dose, and to allow for discontinuation of medications when possible. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 63, dated July 11, 2025, revealed that she was cognitively impaired, required assistance with care needs, received antipsychotic medications (a psychotropic medication used to treat mental health disorders) and antidepressant medications (psychotropic medications used to treat depression) and had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia, depression, and anxiety. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated May 30, 2025, and June 25, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 25 milligrams (mg) of Trazadone (a psychotropic medication) three times daily, as needed for anxiety. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated August 18, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 25 mg of Trazadone daily, as needed for agitation. Physician's orders for Resident 63, dated September 8, 2025, revealed that the resident was to receive 50 mg of Trazadone daily, as needed for agitation. Review of Resident 63's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June 2025, through September 2025, revealed that the resident received 25 mg of Trazadone on June 5 at 11:22 a.m., June 7 at 2:10 p.m., June 18 at 1:38 p.m., June 25 at 11:33 a.m., June 27 at 9:56 a.m., July 2 at 1:48 p.m. and 7:17 p.m., July 4 at 9:00 a.m. and 2:08 p.m., July 5 at 9:33 a.m., July 6 at 1:02 p.m., July 9 at 9:25 a.m., July 13 at 11:14 a.m., July 16 at 10:47 a.m., July 23 at 4:29 p.m., August 19 at 1:01 p.m., August 23 at 1:31 p.m. and 6:15 p.m., and September 4 at 9:49 a.m. Review of Resident 63's MAR for September 2025, revealed that the resident received 50 mg of Trazadone on September 16 at 12:07 p.m. Review of Resident 63's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted prior to administering the as needed Trazadone on the above-mentioned dated and times. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 18, 2025, at 11:27 a.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that non-pharmacological interventions were attempted prior to administering as needed Trazadone to Resident 63 on the above-mentioned dates/times. An admission MDS assessment for Resident 67, dated August 4, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired, required assistance from staff for care needs, and had diagnosis that included dementia. Physician's orders for Resident 67, dated July 30, 2025, included for the resident to receive 100 milligrams (mg) of quetiapine (a psychotropic medication) at bedtime daily. A nurse's note for Resident 67 dated September 9, 2025, at 4:15 p.m. revealed that the resident's legal guardian did not sign the consent for the use of the psychotropic medication Seroquel (the brand name drug for quetiapine) stating she wants to see if the dose can be reduced and she wants the Geriatric-Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner to start handling this medications and evaluate the resident. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 67 dated September 2025, revealed that 100 mg of quetiapine was administered daily at bedtime from September 9, 2025, through September 18. 2025. Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 18, 2025, at 12:38 p.m., revealed that a referral was to be sent to the Geriatric-Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (an advanced practice registered nurse who specializes in the mental health care of older adults, diagnosing and treating psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, and dementia) before she could see resident and address the Seroquel orders.

F 0684 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 reviews, observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician's orders were followed for two of 68 residents reviewed (Resident 11 and Resident 32). Findings include: An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's care needs and abilities) for Resident 11, dated August 25, 2025, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired, required assistance with daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included dementia. Physician's orders for Resident 11 dated August 21, 2025, included an order for the resident to use an event recorder (portable device that you wear or carry to record your heart's electrical activity) for a seven-day monitor related to a history of having atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm) and dizziness. Physician's orders dated August 22, 2025, included an order for the resident to see a neurologist within five to seven days for an Electroencephalogram (EEG- test that records the brain's electrical activity to detect any abnormal patterns that may indicate a predisposition to seizures). As of September 18, 2025, there was no documented evidence that the event monitor or the neurology consult was scheduled or completed for Resident 11 per the physician's orders. An interview with the Director of Nursing on September 18, 2025, at 3:15 p.m. confirmed that there was no documented evidence that the event recorder or the EEG was scheduled or completed and should have been. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 32, dated August 15, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance with daily care needs, had two venous ulcers (ulcers caused by problems with blood flow in the leg veins), surgical wounds, an infection of the foot, and received dressings to the feet and surgical wound care. Physician's orders for Resident 32, dated August 13, 2025, included orders to cleanse the resident's right lower leg surgical incision and left lower leg open area with soap and water, apply xeroform (dressing used to prevent and treat infections and promote wound healing) to left lower leg wound and cover both areas with dry dressing daily every evening shift.
