Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, a review of clinical records, the Resident Assessment Instrument, and staff interviews, it was
determined the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set Assessments accurately reflected the status
of two residents out of 18 sampled (Residents 9 and 31).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
According to the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual (an assessment tool utilized to
gather definitive information on a resident's strengths and needs, which must be addressed in an
individualized care plan, and the RAI also assists staff to evaluate goal achievement and revise care plans
accordingly by enabling the facility to track changes in the resident's status) dated October 2024, Section N
Medications Subsection N0350A: Insulin, indicate the number of days during the 7-day look-back period
that the resident received insulin (a hormone medication used to treat diabetes) injections.
A clinical record review revealed Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated May 6, 2025, Section N
Medication Subsection N0250. Insulin revealed that Resident 9 received one injection of insulin during the
7-day look-back period.
A review of Resident 9's medication administration records dated April and May 2025 revealed no
documented evidence Resident 9 received an insulin injection during the seven-day look-back period.
During an interview on May 22, 2025, at approximately 9:30 AM, with the Regional Nurse Consultant and
Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) confirmed Resident 9 did not receive an insulin
injection during the seven-day look-back period, as indicated in the resident MDS assessment May 6, 2025.
After inquiries made during the survey, the facility corrected the error and submitted a modification to the
May 6, 2025, MDS assessment for Resident 9.
According to the RAI User's Manual dated October 2024, Section L0200 Dental indicates that facilities will
code any dental problems in the seven day look back period of the MDS.
A clinical record review revealed Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Observation on May 20, 2025, at 11:50 AM revealed that Resident 31 was edentulous (lacking teeth).

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, a review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to develop
and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan that included specific and individualized
interventions to address dental needs for one out of 18 residents sampled (Resident 31).
Findings include:
A clinical record review revealed Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included Parkinson's disease (disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including
tremors) and dementia (condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking,
remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities).
Observation on May 20, 2025, at 11:50 AM revealed that Resident 31 was edentulous (lacking teeth).
Further review of the clinical record revealed a Dental Consult dated December 23, 2024, which indicated
the resident had seven teeth extracted.
A Dental Consult dated April 1, 2025, revealed a full upper bite block (a device used in dentistry to help

A Dental Consult dated April 30, 2025, revealed the resident's full upper and lower dentures were inserted
for the resident to try them out. However, the dental consult failed to indicate the results of the trial.
Interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant on May 22, 2025, at approximately 11:00 AM confirmed the
resident did not yet have his dentures and that a follow-up visit was scheduled for May 30, 2025.
Further review of the clinical record revealed no documented evidence the facility developed a care plan to
reflect Resident 31's dental status including the resident becoming edentulous due to the extractions on
December 23, 2024, and the plan/timeline to obtain dentures for the resident.
During an interview on May 22, 2025, at approximately 11:00 AM, the Regional Nurse Consultant
confirmed it is the facility's responsibility to ensure each resident's comprehensive person-centered care
plan includes identified problems and services that are to be provided to assist the resident to attain or
maintain their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The Regional Nurse
Consultant confirmed Resident 31's comprehensive person-centered care plan did not reflect the residen'ts
dental needs.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, observation, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide
nursing services consistent with professional standards of practice by not ensuring the consistent
application of physician-ordered preventative measures for safety for one of 18 residents sampled
(Resident 39).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed Resident 39 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
to include dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or
injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) and Parkinson's
disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness,
and difficulty with balance and coordination).
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated February 26, 2025, revealed that
Resident 39 had moderately impaired cognition with a BIMS score of 10 (Brief Interview for Mental Status-a
tool within the Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and
ability to register and recall new information; a score of 8-12 indicates cognition is moderately impaired).
Further review of the clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 9, 2025, revealed an order for
non-skid strips to the floor on the door side of the bed.
A review of the resident's care plan in effect through the survey end date of May 23, 2025, revealed that he
was at risk for falls, had fallen multiple times, and had a planned intervention of non-skid strips to the floor
of the door side of the bed.
Observation of Resident 39 in his room on May 20, 2025, at 12:15 PM revealed he was sitting in his bed
eating his lunch. There was no evidence of non-skid strips to the floor on the door side of the bed.
A second observation of Resident 39's room on May 20, 2025, at 1:30 PM revealed no evidence of
non-skid strips on the floor for the door side of the bed and was confirmed by Employee 1, Registered
Nurse Supervisor.
An interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant and Nursing Home Administrator on May 21, 2025, at
12:00 PM confirmed that staff had not consistently followed the physician's orders for application of
non-skid strips to the floor on the door side of the bed for safety for Resident 39.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of select facility policies, the facility diet manual, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to assess, evaluate, and monitor the nutritional parameters of residents
with significant weight loss for two of 18 residents reviewed (Residents 27 and 69).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of a facility policy titled Weight Monitoring Standards, last reviewed by the facility in October 2024,
revealed if the monthly weight shows more than a 5% gain or loss, the resident is re-weighed within 24
hours. If there is an actual 5% or more gain or loss in one month, the resident, family, physician, and the
Dining Services Director are notified by the Nursing Department. Documentation of the date notified should
be documented in the nursing progress section of the medical record. The Dining Services
Director/designee reviews the resident's nutritional status and makes recommendations for intervention in
the nutrition progress notes if a significant change is noted.
Review of a facility policy titled Weight Assessment and Intervention, last reviewed by the facility on April
15, 2025, revealed the physician and the multidisciplinary team would identify conditions and medications
that may be causing anorexia, weight loss, or increasing the risk of weight loss, including
medication-related adverse consequences.
A review of the clinical record revealed Resident 27 was admitted to the facility August 7, 2022, with
diagnoses to include dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain
disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning) and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD is a condition caused by damage to the airways or other
parts of the lung that blocks airflow and makes it hard to breathe).
A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment
conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) of Resident 27 dated May 5, 2025, revealed the
resident was severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 02 (brief interview for mental status, a tool
to assess the residents' attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information, a score of
0-7 indicates severe cognitive impairment).
A review of the clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 10, 2025, revealed an order for
Senokot S 8.6-50 milligrams (mg) one tablet daily at bedtime for constipation (difficulty in bowel
movements). Senekot is medication used to treat constipation with possible adverse side effect of loose
stools.
A review of the clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 26, 2025, for a mechanical soft
diet. A review of a facility diet manual revealed a mechanical soft diet which per the facility's diet manual
provides approximately 1600-2000 calories and 60-75 grams of protein per day at the facility.
A review of the clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 27, 2025, for a health shake three
times a day between meals to promote optimal intake (health shake- a nutritional beverage supplement that
provides additional calories, protein, and essential nutrients). The facility uses a 4 oz. mighty shake which
provides 200 calories and 7 grams of protein.

F 0692
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
A review of the clinical record of a nurse progress alert note dated April 8, 2025, revealed that Resident 27
had at least three loose stools in a 24-hour period, and it was noted the resident was on medications that
can contribute to lose stools.
Nurse alert progress notes dated April 28, April 29, May 5, May 12, May 13, May 16, and May 19, 2025,
documented that the resident experienced at least three loose stools in a 24-hour period. The episodes
were attributed to medication side effects and rectal prolapse. No adjustments were made to the resident's
medication regimen, and no documentation from the physician or nurse practitioner addressed the
repeated episodes of loose stools.
A review of Documentation Survey Report v2 (care tasks completed for the resident) for April 2025 until
May 22, 2025, revealed that Resident 27 had experienced multiple loose stools regularly.
Review of the Medication Administration Record from April through May 22, 2025, revealed that Senokot S
was administered daily, with the exception of April 7, 2025, when it was held due to lose stools. The
Documentation Survey Report confirmed the resident had frequent loose stools during this time period.
A Registered Dietician (RD) note dated May 6, 2025, documented the resident experienced a 3.4-pound
weight loss in 30 days, a 14-pound (11%) loss over 90 days, and a 16-pound (12%) loss over 180 days. The
RD reported inconsistent meal intake (0 -25% for 2 meals; 25-50% for 6 meals; 50-75% for 3 meals;
75-100% for 10 meals; one meal was refused) and confirmed the resident was receiving health shakes
three times daily. A subsequent RD note dated May 10, 2025, acknowledged the weight loss and noted
Senokot S as part of the medication review. The RD noted that weight loss may be associated with natural
aging process due to advanced age of [AGE] years old.
During an interview on May 22, 2025, at approximately 10:00 AM, Employee 2, a Certified Registered
Nurse Practitioner, stated she was unaware of the recent weight loss and confirmed that although she was
aware of the resident's ongoing loose stools, no hold parameters had been ordered for Senokot. She was
aware Resident 27 was having loose stools regularly, but she did not want Resident 27 to end up with
constipation due to the prolapsed rectum There was no documentation in the clinical record from either the
physician or CRNP acknowledging or evaluating the ongoing loose stools.
Following surveyor inquiry, a new order dated May 22, 2025, was obtained to hold Senekot if the resident
experienced loose stools.
Interview with the Regional Nurse Consultant on May 22, 2025, at approximately 12:50 PM, confirmed the
facility failed to recognize contributing factors including frequent loose stools, that may have contributed to
Resident 27's significant weight loss.
A review of Resident 69's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on December 26, 2023, with
diagnoses to include Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and other
important mental functions), and adult failure to thrive (a global decline in health often characterized by
weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and reduced physical activity).
A review of the resident's weights noted the following:
January 4, 2025 - 182.4 lbs.
