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
clinical record review and resident 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 26 residents reviewed
(Resident 9 and 26).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Review of Resident 9's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included obstructive sleep apnea
(characterized by episodes of a complete [apnea] or partial collapse [hypopnea] of the upper airway with an
associated decrease in oxygen saturation or arousal from sleep) and seizures (a burst of uncontrolled
electrical activity between brain cells).
Review of Resident 9's quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set is part of federally mandated process for clinical
assessment of all Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes) dated April 4, 2024, revealed in Section
O0110. Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs, G1. Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilator, that
Resident 9 did not use a non-invasive mechanical ventilator during the previous 14 days.
Review of Resident 9's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for the month of April 2024, revealed that
Resident 9 used a CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure machine - is a machine that uses
mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep) from April 1-4, 2024.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on June 13, 2024, at 9:35 AM, revealed that the MDS
completed on April 4, 2024, should have been coded to reveal that Resident 9 used a CPAP machine.
Review of Resident 26's clinical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included anxiety disorder (a persistent feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease), major depression (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in things), and fibromyalgia
(a disorder that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties).
During an interview with Resident 26 on June 10, 2024, at 11:46 AM, revealed she has pain in her
abdomen and medicine is not always effective in managing her pain.
Review of Resident 26's clinical record revealed a nursing progress note written on June 5, 2024, that
stated she had been more focused on having abdominal discomfort and believes she has colon cancer.
Review of Resident 26's routine physician notes and clinical record failed to reveal notation that

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on facility policy review, observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure the care plan was reviewed and revised for one of 23 residents

Findings include:
Based on facility policy, titled Care Plan Policy, not dated, read, in part, Changes in the resident's condition
must be reported to the MDS Assessment Coordinator (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) so that
a review of the resident assessment and care plan should be made.
Review of Resident 8's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included difficulty in walking and muscle
weakness.
Review of Resident 8's clinical record on June 11, 2024, at 9:28 AM, revealed she was discharged to the
hospital on May 1, 2024, and returned to the facility on May 2, 2024.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
care and services are provided in accordance with professional standards of practice that will meet each
resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident 100).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident 100's clinical record revealed that they were admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia (a chronic disorder of the mental
processes caused by brain disease, and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired
reasoning), and presence of cardiac pacemaker (an artificial device for stimulating the heart muscle and
regulating its contractions).
Observation of Resident 100 on June 10, 2024, at 10:19 AM, revealed a pacemaker monitoring device (a
device used by a cardiologist [heart specialist] to perform an electronic periodic pacemaker function test)
that was noted to be plugged into the electrical outlet and turned on.
Review of Resident 100's physician orders on June 11, 2024, at 12:08 PM, failed to reveal any orders
regarding their pacemaker monitoring or follow-up cardiology appointments.
Review of Resident 100's care plan on June 11, 2024, at 12:15 PM, revealed a care plan focus for cardiac
disease related to hypertension, initiated on April 5, 2024, which included an intervention for pacemaker
checks as ordered, but failed to include any safety interventions associated with the presence of the
pacemaker or cardiology follow-up visits.
Review of Resident 100's hospital discharge paperwork dated April 5, 2024, revealed that the Resident had
a cardiology follow-up appointment on Thursday, September 12, 2024, at 1:30 PM.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and Assistant Director
of Nursing on June 12, 2024, at 11:10 AM, the DON indicated that Resident 100 had not had any
pacemaker checks since admission as none were due to be completed. The DON further indicated that
when Resident 100 returned from an appointment at the wound clinic on June 11, 2024, all their cardiac
appointments including pacemaker checks were listed on the after-visit summary and nursing staff added
them to Resident 100's orders. The DON confirmed that the facility knew that Resident 100 had a
pacemaker at their admission on [DATE], and that nursing staff should have obtained all necessary
information from Resident 100's cardiologist regarding pacemaker checks and follow-up appointments. The
DON also confirmed all safety measures associated with the presence of a pacemaker should have been
implemented at the time of Resident 100's admission and that their care plan has now been revised.
During a follow-up interview with the DON on June 13, 2024, at 10:15 AM, the DON indicated that she had
researched Resident 100's pacemaker checks a little further that morning. The DON said that Resident 100
was to have an electronic remote check on April 18, 2024, however, the POA had canceled it because the
pacemaker monitoring device was still at Resident 100's prior assisted living facility. The DON provided a
copy of an after-visit summary dated June 12, 2024, that indicated that a remote electronic pacemaker
check was completed on June 12, 2024. The DON also indicated that the cardiologist's office said that if
there were to be a problem with Resident 100's pacemaker, an alert would

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical record review, and Resident Responsible Party and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that the residents who are trauma survivors received culturally
competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice in order to
eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident for one of two residents
reviewed (Resident 91).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Policy and Procedure Trauma Informed Care, last revised April 15, 2024,
read, in part: Residents who display or are diagnosed with a mental disorder, psychosocial adjustment
difficulty, and/or PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] will be provided with appropriate treatment and
services to attain the highest practicable level of mental and psychosocial wellbeing. Procedure . 7. When a
Resident has experienced a traumatic event, The Social worker will interview the resident/resident
representative regarding potential/actual triggers that may cause re-traumatization. Experiences,
preferences, and/or other interventions that eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization
of the resident. 8. The IDT team will ensure that an individualized resident centered care plan is developed
for resident that has experienced a traumatic event. The care plan will include but is not limited to the
following: Identification of the stressor/past life trauma. Identification of interventions that mitigate against
re-traumatization. Identify triggers that could cause re-traumatization.
Review of Resident 91's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD - a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying
event. The condition may last months or years, with triggers that can bring back memories of the trauma,
accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions) and severe recurrent major depressive disorder
with psychotic symptoms (a serious mental health condition that combines a depressed mood with
psychosis [a disconnection from reality] that can manifest as hallucinations or delusions).
During an interview on June 10, 2024, at 1:24 PM, with Resident 91's Responsible Party, it was revealed
that Resident 91 suffered from PTSD from fighting in the Vietnam War and being exposed to harmful
chemicals.
Review of Resident 91's clinical record revealed a social services assessment dated [DATE]. The
assessment indicated Resident 91's PTSD was related to fighting in a war and witnessing various acts of
violence, being a prisoner of war, and being exposed to harmful chemicals while in the war. The assessor
indicated active signs or symptoms of trauma and interventions were needed.
Review of Resident 91's comprehensive plan of care revealed a focus area for risk for changes in mood
related to dementia, depression, PTSD and is at risk for adverse effects related to use of antipsychotic and
depression medication use, but failed to indicate the source of Resident 91's PTSD or any known triggers
or interventions.
Further review of Resident 91's clinical record failed to reveal evidence that the facility identified or
attempted to identify Resident 91's PTSD triggers.
