Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
the resident assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for two of 23 residents reviewed
(Residents 14 and 40).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident 14's July 5, 2023 quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool to review all
care areas specific to the resident such as a resident's physical, mental or psychosocial needs) revealed
that the assessment was coded to indicate that Resident 14 experienced a fall with injury since the time the
last assessment was completed.
Review of Resident 14's clinical record for the indicated timeframe failed to reveal any evidence of a fall.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on February 14, 2024, at 9:15 AM, she confirmed
that Resident 14 did not experience a fall during the timeframe in question and that Resident 14's July 5,
2023, MDS was coded incorrectly for a fall.
Review of Resident 40's November 3, 2023, quarterly MDS assessment revealed that it was coded to
indicate that she received antipsychotic medication (class of medication primarily used to manage
psychosis [when someone loses touch with reality]), and that a dose reduction of this medication was last
documented by the physician as being contraindicated on June 5, 2023.
Review of geriatric psychiatry consult notes dated September 11, 2023, revealed that on this date the
physician documented that a dose reduction of Resident 40's antipsychotic medications was
contraindicated.
During an interview with the DON on February 14, 2024, at 9:15 AM, she confirmed that Resident 40's
November 3, 2023, was incorrectly coded and that a modification had been submitted.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observations, policy review, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to ensure that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan was developed for two of 23
residents reviewed (Residents 18 and 51).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Care Planning-Interdisciplinary Team, revised September 2013, revealed, Our
facility's care planning/interdisciplinary team is responsible for the development of and individualized
comprehensive care plan for each resident.
Review of Resident 18's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included muscle weakness (weakness of
muscle movements) and fibromyalgia (a disorder that affects muscle and soft tissue characterized by
chronic muscle pain, tenderness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances).
Observation of Resident 18 on February 12, 2024, at 12:14 PM, revealed Resident 18 sitting in a recliner in
her room wearing custom made orthotic shoes with built in AFO (an ankle foot orthosis controls the range
of motion in your foot and ankle and helps to stabilize its position).
Review of Resident 18's care plan on February 12, 2024, failed to reveal any guidance regarding Resident
18's use of orthotic shoes with AFO.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on February 15, 2024, at 9:45 AM, revealed that Resident 18's
care plan should have included the shoes with AFO brace.
Review of Resident 51's clinical record on February 12, 2024, at approximately 12:00 PM, revealed
diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (stroke - sudden loss of blood to a part of the brain which results
in damage and death of cells) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
Observation of Resident 51 on February 12, 2024, at approximately 10:10 AM, revealed Resident 51 had a
disposable tissue partially placed inside Resident 51's mouth.
During an interview on February 12, 2024, at approximately 10:20 AM, Employee 1 stated that Resident 51
frequently utilized a tissue placed in his mouth to soak up salivary secretion. During the interview,
Employee 1 stated that staff do check Resident 51's mouth during the day to ensure pieces of tissue and/or
food are not left in Resident 51's mouth.
Review of Resident 51's clinical record revealed Resident 51 was not care planned for placing a tissue in
his mouth.
During an interview on February 14, 2024, at approximately 1:30 PM, DON confirmed that Resident 51 was
known to place tissues in his mouth. DON stated that the family has provided cloth handkerchiefs, but
Resident 51 still utilizes disposable tissues at times.
During an interview on February 15, 2024, at approximately 9:30 AM, DON provided an updated plan of
care for Resident 51 which included the intervention of, I have excessive [secretions]. Staff will encourage
me to use handkerchiefs that my family provides but I like to at times use tissues. Staff
