**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was
determined that facility failed to determine if a resident was safe to self-administer medications for one of
31 residents reviewed (Resident 99).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's medication policy, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that self-administration was permitted
when specifically authorized by the physician. Control and supervision are the responsibility of the faculty.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 99 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
had diagnoses that included diabetes.
Physician's orders for Resident 99, dated September 11, 2024, included an order that the resident could
use her insulin pump (a wearable medical device that supplies a continuous flow of insulin underneath the
skin) as set by her endocrinologist (doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of
hormone-related diseases and conditions, including diabetes) with 100 unit per milliliter of basal Novolog
(insulin used to keep your blood glucose levels stable during periods of fasting) at a rate of 0.55 units per
hour.
Physician's orders for Resident 99, dated September 12, 2024, included an order that the resident could
manage her insulin bolus (dose of insulin taken to handle a rise in blood glucose) as set up in her insulin
pump by her endocrinologist, before meals and at bedtime, making sure she notifies staff prior to
self-administering each bolus.
There was no documented evidence in Resident 99's clinical record to indicate that an assessment was
completed to determine if she was safe to self-administer her medication.
A nurse's note for Resident 99, dated September 13, 2024, at 4:10 a.m. revealed that the resident
appeared to be anxious and confused at times and that she continued to manage her diabetes with a
continuous glucose machine.
Observations of Resident 99 on September 17, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. revealed that the resident had an insulin
pump attached to her right abdomen, which she reported at the time of the observation to be functioning
properly.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents had a
clean and homelike environment on one of three nursing units (secured unit).
Findings include:
Observations on September 16, 2024, at 8:17 p.m. revealed that the carpet in the hallway on the 400 side
of the secured unit was stained and dirty. There was duct tape on the carpet of the threshold between the
hallway and room [ROOM NUMBER] and between the hallway and room [ROOM NUMBER].
Interview with the Director of Maintenance on September 18, 2024, revealed that the carpet in the secured
unit was to be scrubbed nightly and that it was in need of being replaced. He stated that the duct tape on
the floor between the hallway and rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] was there because the strip that was there
was a trip hazard. He stated that the duct tape made a smooth transition between the hallway and the
resident rooms.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 18, 2024, at 1:24 p.m. confirmed that the carpeting in
the secured unit needed replaced and that duct tape should not have been placed on the threshold
between the hallway and the resident rooms.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on review of policies, as well as interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that residents and/or their representatives could file a grievance/concern anonymously by
failing to ensure that information on how to file a grievance or complaint was available to residents or their
representatives without asking.
Findings include:
The facility's Grievance Process policy, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that anyone may file a grievance
anonymously if they chose to do so.
During an interview with a group of residents on September 17, 2024, at 10:34 a.m., the residents indicated
that they did not know how to file a grievance anonymously.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 19, 2024, at 9:48 a.m. revealed that the facility's
grievance forms were located behind each nursing station, and confirmed that nurses could give the forms
to the residents; however, residents or their representatives could not access or file the grievance forms on
their own.

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
Based on clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify the
resident and legal guardian in writing regarding the reason for hospitalization for two of 31 residents
reviewed (Residents 54, 83).
Findings include:
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 54, dated July 25, 2024, revealed that the resident was understood, could
understand others, and had a diagnosis that included a cerebral vascular accident (CVA - commonly known
as a stroke) with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body).
Nursing notes for Resident 54, dated July 11, 2024, revealed that the resident's foley catheter (a thin,
flexible tube that drains urine from the bladder into a collection bag) was changed the previous night. A
urine was obtained that morning, and the resident has not had any output since. The nurse removed water
from the foley catheter balloon to change it thinking that it was blocked, but blood came out from around the
resident's penis and the catheter would not come out. When the nurse tried to advance the foley, blood
came out. The resident had a temperature the previous night that went down but went back up to 101.2
degrees Fahrenheit (F), and he was having dyspnea (shortness of breath). The resident was started on
oxygen and was sent to the emergency room and admitted with a diagnosis of sepsis (a life-threatening
condition that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection, damaging the body's own
tissues and organs).
There was no documented evidence that a written notice of Resident 54's transfer to the hospital was
provided to the resident and/or the resident's responsible party regarding the reason for transfer.
Interview with the Business Office Manager on September 18, 2024, at 1:03 p.m. confirmed that there was
no documented evidence that a written notice of Resident 54's transfer to the hospital was provided to the
resident and/or the resident's responsible party regarding the reason for transfer.
A quarterly MDS assessment for Resident 83, dated August 1, 2024, indicated that the resident was
cognitively impaired, was dependent on staff for his daily care needs, and had diagnoses that included
dementia.
A nurse's note for Resident 83, dated June 2, 2024, at 2:04 p.m., revealed that the resident had decreased
urine output, his abdomen was distended, and he had abnormal drainage from his penis. The physician
was notified, and orders were received to transport the resident to the emergency room for evaluation. A
nurse's note at 8:14 p.m. revealed that the resident was admitted to the hospital.
A nurse's note for Resident 83, dated July 19, 2024, at 11:33 a.m., revealed that the physician reviewed the
results of the resident's x-ray and recommended further testing be done at the hospital. The physician
ordered the resident be transferred to the emergency room for evaluation. A nurse's note at 8:45 p.m.
revealed that the resident was admitted to the hospital for further testing and treatment.

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
review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
develop care plans to address individualized resident care needs for one of 31 residents reviewed
(Resident 99).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that a resident care plan will be
established within 24 hours of admission and will be reviewed and revised as indicated on readmission,
significant change, and as needed for new or revised interventions. Resident care management is designed
to ensure systemic comprehensive approach to assessing, planning, and meeting the resident's needs.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 99 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
had diagnoses that included diabetes.
Physician's orders for Resident 99, dated September 11, 2024, included an order that the resident may use
her insulin pump (a wearable medical device that supplies a continuous flow of insulin underneath the skin)
as set by her endocrinologist (doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related
diseases and conditions, including diabetes) with 100 unit per milliliter of basal Novolog (insulin used to

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,

Based on review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure that a resident's care plan was updated/revised to reflect the resident's specific
care needs for one of 31 residents reviewed (Resident 41).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding care plans, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that a resident care plan will be
established within 24 hours of admission and will be reviewed and revised as indicated on readmission,
significant change, and as needed for new or revised interventions. Resident care management is designed
to ensure systemic comprehensive approach to assessing, planning, and meeting the resident's needs.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 41, dated August 16, 2024, indicated that the resident was understood and could
usually understand others, required assistance from staff for daily care needs, and had diagnoses that
included dementia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD - a mental and behavioral disorder that
develops related to a terrifying event).
A psychiatry consult note for Resident 41, dated June 16, 2024, revealed that the resident acknowledged
experiencing PTSD symptoms as a result of his military service.
A review of Resident 41's plan of care revealed no documented evidence that his care plan was revised to
address any triggers (stimulus that causes a painful memory to resurface) related to PTSD that could
re-traumatize the resident.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on August 19, 2024, at 8:45 a.m. confirmed that the facility did not
attempt to identify Resident 41's PTSD triggers and revise his care plan to include care related to possible
PTSD triggers.

with the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (a mental and behavioral disorder that
develops related to a terrifying event) for one of 31 residents reviewed (Resident 41).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 41, dated August 16, 2024, indicated that the resident was understood and could
usually understand others, required assistance from staff for daily care needs, and had diagnoses that
included dementia and PTSD.
Review of the care plan for Resident 41, dated January 22, 2024, indicated that the resident had a
diagnosis of dementia and PTSD.
There was no documented evidence the facility identified Resident 41's specific triggers that could
re-traumatize the resident or implement measures as to how facility staff could prevent or minimize triggers
from occurring.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on August 19, 2024, at 8:45 a.m. confirmed that the facility did not
complete a trauma informed care assessment on Resident 41.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that medications were properly labeled for one of 31 residents
reviewed (Resident 36).
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding medication, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that medications that a
resident brings with him/her on admission to the facility from home or another facility will be used if they are
properly labeled and ordered by the physician, and the dose is the ordered dose.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 36, dated July 17, 2024, revealed that the resident was understood, could
understand others, and had a diagnosis which included multiple sclerosis (MS - a chronic autoimmune
disease that affects the central nervous system).
Physician's orders for Resident 36, January 27, 2024, included orders for the resident to self-administer
approximately sixty-one different over-the-counter biological and herbal supplements.
Observations of the [NAME] Hall medication refrigerator on September 19, 2024, at 11:07 a.m. revealed
that on the bottom shelf of the door were eight plastic, sandwich-size, zip-lock baggies that were 1/4 full of
multiple tablets and capsules. However, there was no labeling on the eight plastic sandwich-size, zip-lock
baggies to indicate who they belonged to or what the contents were. Interview with Licensed Practical
Nurse 1 at the time of observation revealed that the eight plastic, sandwich-size, zip-lock baggies
containing the multiple tablets and capsules belonged to Resident 36 and were her biological and herbal
supplements. She indicated that the resident's son prepares the supplements at home and then brings the
zip-lock baggies into the facility. She confirmed that there was no name or labeling of what the contents of
the zip-lock bags contained.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on September 19, 2024, at 11:55 a.m. confirmed that not having
Resident 36's name on the zip lock baggies is a problem. She indicated that she maintains a list of the
supplements that Resident 36 uses for the nursing staff that work on that unit.

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
review of clinical records, as well as resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
maintain clinical records that were complete and accurately documented for one of 31 residents reviewed
(Resident 99).
Findings include:
Review of the clinical record for Resident 99 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
had diagnoses that included diabetes.
Physician's orders for Resident 99, dated September 12, 2024, included an order that the resident may
manage her insulin bolus (dose of insulin taken to handle a rise in blood glucose) as set up in her insulin
pump (a wearable medical device that supplies a continuous flow of insulin underneath the skin) by her
endocrinologist (doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related diseases and
conditions, including diabetes), before meals and at bedtime, making sure she notifies staff prior to
self-administering each bolus.
A nurse's note for Resident 99, dated September 15, 2024, at 10:05 a.m., revealed that the resident was
nauseous and vomited. The nurse asked the resident if she gave herself a bolus of insulin, and she
reported that she gave herself a small dose of less than three units.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident 99, dated September 2024, revealed
no documented evidence of the amount of insulin the resident was self-administering with boluses using
her insulin pump.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on September 18, 2024, at 2:39 p.m. confirmed that there
was no documented evidence of the amount of insulin the resident was self-administering with boluses
using her insulin pump.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of established infection control guidelines, facility policy, and residents' clinical records, as
well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control
guidelines from the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) to reduce the spread of infections and prevent cross-contamination for two of 31 residents reviewed
(Residents 25, 37).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
CDC guidance on isolation precautions and Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use in
Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms (MDRO's - bacteria that have become
resistant to certain antibiotics, and these antibiotics can no longer be used to control or kill the bacteria),
dated July 12, 2022, indicates that MDRO transmission is common in skilled nursing facilities, contributing
to substantial resident morbidity and mortality and increased healthcare costs. Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP) are an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant
organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. CMS
updated its infection prevention and control guidance effective April 1, 2024. The recommendations now
include the use of EBP during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling
medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or
colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do
not apply.
The facility's policy regarding EBP, dated January 10, 2024, indicated that the facility will prevent the spread
of novel or targeted multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). The precautions refer to the use of gown and
gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff
hands. Enhanced barrier precautions apply to all residents with wounds and or indwelling medical devices
(e.g. central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy, or ventilator) regardless of MDRO
colonization status.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 25, dated July 16, 2024, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required
supervision with personal hygiene, had an indwelling urinary catheter (a flexible tube inserted into the
bladder to collect urine into a drainage bag), and had diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease.
Physician's orders for Resident 25, dated August 15, 2024, included an order for the resident to have a size
16 French Coude (type of catheter with a curved tip used to empty urine from the bladder) catheter
inserted.
Observations of Resident 25 on September 16, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. revealed that the resident was sitting in a
recliner in his room with a catheter drainage bag in a basin on the floor to the left side of his feet. There was
no signage or notification of the resident being on EBP posted at the resident's room, and there was no
PPE observed in or around the resident's room.
Interview with Registered Nurse 2 on September 16, 2024, at 7:56 p.m. confirmed that Resident 25 did not
have EBP in place and that the resident should have.
An admission MDS assessment for Resident 37, dated June 13, 2024, revealed that the resident was
