Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, clinical record review, and
staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to timely complete a quarterly Minimum Data Set
(MDS) assessment for one of 13 sampled residents. (Resident 21)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Long Term Care Facility RAI User's Manual which provides instructions and guidelines for completing
required MDS assessments, (mandated assessments of a residents' abilities and care needs), revised
October 2023, indicates that quarterly assessments are to be completed no longer than the Assessment
Reference Date (ARD) which refers to the last day of the observation for the look back period that the
assessment covers for the resident plus 14 calendar days.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 21 had a quarterly MDS assessment completed on May 24,
2023. Review of the MDS assessments revealed no evidence that any MDS assessment, including a
quarterly assessment, had been completed since May 24, 2023.
In an interview on October 25, 2023, at 3:18 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator stated that the MDS
quarterly assessment had not been completed in a timely manner as required by the RAI manual.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, facility policy review, and staff and resident interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to assess and treat wounds for one of 13 sampled residents. (Resident 94)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Wound Prevention and Wound Care, last reviewed January 6, 2023,
revealed that information regarding increased risk for skin breakdown should be obtained prior to resident
admission and upon admission a skin assessment would be completed weekly for one month to assess
changing risk for skin breakdown. The registered nurse would assess, document, and notify the physician of
a new wound.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 94 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included diabetes mellitus, end stage renal disease, and hypertension. Review of Resident 94's discharge
documentation from the hospital revealed that he had wounds to his left elbow and sacrum. In an interview
on October 24, 2023, at 11:30 a.m., Resident 94 stated that he was concerned with pain in his left elbow
and wound treatments to his sacrum. He stated that no one has looked at his wounds or provided
treatments to them since admission. Resident 94's left elbow was observed at that time and revealed a
bandage dated October 19, 2023. Resident 94 further stated that the bandage was placed on his elbow at
the hospital prior to admission. There was no documented evidence that the facility assessed Resident 94's
wounds, notified the physician, or provided treatments until October 24, 2023, for his sacral wound and
October 25, 2023, for his left elbow.
In an interview on October 26, 2023, at 9:15 a.m. the Director of Nursing stated that staff were to assess a
resident's skin on admission and that there was no documentation to support that Resident 94's wounds
were assessed or treated prior to October 24 and 25, 2023.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, review of facility documentation, observation, and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to implement safety interventions for one of three sampled residents at risk for falls.
(Resident 11)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and had diagnoses
that included Parkinson's disease. On August 5, 2023, the resident fell out of bed and was found on the
floor. On August 7, 2023, the risk team reviewed the incident and implemented fall mats to each side of the
bed as an intervention to prevent injury. Review of the current care plan revealed that the resident was at
risk for falls and an intervention for staff to apply fall mats to each side of her bed was implemented on
August 7, 2023. On August 17, 2023, Resident 11 was found lying next to her bed on the floor. A nurse's
note dated August 17, 2023, revealed that the facility had contacted hospice for fall mats. On September 7,
2023, Resident 11 was found lying on her back beside her bed on the floor. On September 22, 2023,
Resident 11 was found on the floor next to her bed. Review of the facility's incident documentation for
Resident 11's falls from August 17, 2023, through September 22, 2023, revealed no documented evidence
that the fall mats to both sides of the resident's bed were in place at the time of the falls. Observations on
October 24, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m., and on October 25, 2023, from 9:15 a.m through
9:40 a.m., revealed Resident 11 in bed without fall mats to each side of her bed.
In an interview on October, 26, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Registered Nurse 1 stated that there was no
documented evidence that fall mats were in place during the time of Resident 11's falls.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**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 maintain clinical records
that were accurate and complete for two of 13 sampled residents. (Residents 7, 42)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 7 had diagnoses that included diabetes. A physician's order
dated [DATE], directed staff to administer six units of a diabetes medication (insulin aspart) with each meal
when blood glucose level (BGL) (the measurement of sugar found in one's blood) was greater than 100
milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). A physician's order dated [DATE], directed staff to administer an additional
number of insulin aspart units with each meal based on a scale of how much over 150 mg/dL the BGL was
at that time. A review of Resident 7's medication administration record revealed that the staff documented
the total amount of insulin aspart given to Resident 7 in two places in the administration record 51 of 143
times.
In an interview on [DATE], at 1:20 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that staff did not properly
document the amount of insulin they gave in the clinical record.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
breast cancer and congestive heart failure. A nurse's note dated [DATE], indicated that the resident was
resting in bed and had no pain. In an interview on [DATE], at 9:05 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that
the resident died in the facility on [DATE], on hospice. There was a lack of evidence to support that facility
staff documented Resident 42's change in condition and notification to the physician and resident
representative.
In an interview on [DATE], at 9:06 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated that the facility had no documentation
to support that staff documented the change in condition for Resident 11 or notification to the physician and
resident representative.
