Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that care and
services were provided in a manner that enhanced resident dignity for one of 15 residents sampled
(Resident 28).
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 28 revealed a Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment
completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated April 1, 2025, that noted facility staff
assessed the resident as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 6, which indicated cognitive
impairment.
Clinical record review for Resident 28 revealed the resident had current physician orders for an indwelling
urinary foley catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder that drains urine) and associated care.
Resident 28's current care plan revealed that the resident had a foley catheter due to obstructive uropathy
(when the urine cannot flow properly through the body). An intervention included always having a dignity
bag (a device such as a cover to promote dignity that conceals the urine in the collection bag).
Review of Resident 28's task list (located in the electronic health record where staff document specific care
related events for a resident) revealed the resident is to have a dignity bag at all times.
Observation of Resident 28 on April 25, 2025, at 10:16 AM, 10:46 AM, and 11:31 AM revealed the resident
was seated in his wheelchair in the main hallway located in front of the nurse's station. Resident 28's foley
catheter collection bag was attached to the frame of the wheelchair and urine was visible. Several staff
members and other residents were observed passing by Resident 28 as he sat in the hallway.
An interview with Employee 2, licensed practical nurse, on April 25, 2025, at 11:31 AM revealed that
Resident 28's foley catheter bag should be covered.
The above information for Resident 28 was reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator during an
interview on April 25, 2025, at 1:08 PM.

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 ensure
assessments accurately reflected residents' status for one of 15 residents reviewed (Resident 28).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 28 revealed a Medicare Five-Day MDS (Minimum Data Set, an
assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine resident care needs) dated April 1, 2025, in
which facility staff assessed the resident as having a feeding tube.
Further clinical record review revealed no evidence that Resident 28 had a feeding tube.
An interview with Employee 1, registered nurse assessment coordinator, on April 22, 2025, at 2:04 PM
confirmed that Resident 28 did not have a feeding tube during the assessment period, and this was marked
in error on the MDS.
The Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing were informed of the above findings during a
meeting on April 23, 2025, at 1:49 PM.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, review of facility documents, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to have sufficient nursing staff to meet resident needs on one of two nursing units (second
floor), and three of 12 residents reviewed (Resident 3, 20, and 248).
Findings include:
The facility's third floor was unoccupied by residents at the time of the onsite visit, and all facility residents
were residing on the second-floor nursing unit.
Interview with Resident 20 on April 22, 2025, at 11:50 AM revealed that she needed to rely on staff to go to
the bathroom, as she was not supposed to take herself, and she sometimes has accidents waiting for the
staff. Resident 20 stated she sometimes waits up to an hour for staff to come when she rings her call bell.
Clinical record review for Resident 20 revealed a social service note dated January 13, 2025, at 11:09 AM
indicating a family member of the resident expressed concern at a care plan meeting about call bell
response times when the resident needs to utilize the bathroom. There was no follow up identified to the
concern.
A review of Resident 20's electronic call bell activation and response records for April 10 to 24, 2025,
revealed the following call bell response times greater than 20 minutes after the resident activated the call
bell:
April 10, 2025, activated at 3:47 PM; response time of 22 minutes.
April 10, 2025, activated at 9:15 PM; response time of 24 minutes.

A review of Resident 20's bowel and bladder elimination records revealed staff documentation did not occur
exactly at the point of service, but at some time during the shift the care occurred. Although a longer call
bell response time could not be linked to the exact documentation time, it was determined that Resident
20's incontinent episodes of bowel, bladder, or both, on April 10, 14, 17, 18, and 25, 2025, had longer call
bell response times.
The above information regarding Resident 20's call bell response times was reviewed with the Nursing
Home Administrator on April 25, 2025, at 9:45 AM.
Clinical record review for Resident 248 revealed an admission Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an
assessment completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated April 11, 2025, that noted
facility staff assessed the resident as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 15, which
indicated no cognitive impairment.
Clinical record review for Resident 3 revealed an admission MDS dated [DATE], that noted facility staff
assessed the resident as having a BIMS of 6, which indicated cognitive impairment.
An interview with Residents 3 and 248 on April 22, 2025, at 1:26 PM revealed concerns related to staff
response to activated call bells. Resident 248 further stated that staff take half an hour to respond to the
call bell and that's a problem.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 24, 2025, at 1:45 PM
revealed that the facility documentation provided upon surveyor request for call bell response records
accounted for the entire room for Residents 3 and 248.
A review of the facility documentation titled Alerts, for Residents 3 and 248 revealed the following call bell
activation dates/times with an elapsed time greater than 20 minutes:
April 9, 2025, at 10:56 AM; response time 36 minutes.
April 9, 2025, at 12:56 PM; response time 34.2 minutes.
April 9, 2025, at 3:50 PM; response time 32.3 minutes.
April 9, 2025, at 5:29 PM; response time 25.2 minutes.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a
resident's medication regime was free from potentially unnecessary medications for two of five residents
reviewed (Residents 11 and 24).
Findings include:
Review of Resident 11's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 10, 2025, that indicated
nursing staff may administer Ativan (for anxiety) 2 mg/ml (milligrams per milliliters) 0.5 ml (milliliters) every
four hours as needed for anxiety. There was no documented evidence in Resident 11's clinical record to
indicate that his physician documented a rational for the continued use of the Ativan beyond a 14-day
period.
Review of Resident 11's Medication Administration Record (MAR, a form utilized to document the
administration of medications) for both March and April 2025, indicated that Resident 11 was not
administered any as needed Ativan.
Review of Resident 24's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated April 22, 2025, that indicated
nursing staff may administer Ativan 2mg/ml 0.25 mg every four hours as needed for agitation or anxiety.
There was no documented evidence in Resident 24's clinical record to indicate that her physician
documented a rationale for the continued use of the Ativan beyond a 14-day period. The facility obtained a
physician's order dated April 24, 2025, to initiate a 14 day time span after the surveyor questioning.
Interview with the Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 24, 2025, at 1:50 PM confirmed the above
findings for Residents 11 and 24.
