Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents have the right to be informed of and
participate in their treatment, including the right to be informed in advance of the risks and benefits of
proposed care, of treatment and treatment alternatives or treatment options, and to choose the alternative
or option they prefer for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #35) whose records were reviewed for informed consent.
The facility failed to obtain signed consent prior to administering the psychotropic medication Risperdal (an
atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder with acute manic or
mixed episodes, and autism-associated irritability) for Resident #35. This failure could place residents at
risk of receiving medications without consent and without the option choose alternative treatment or decline
treatment based on awareness of the risks and benefits of the medications.The findings included: Record
review of Resident #35's admission sheet dated 7/01/2025 documented a [AGE] year-old male resident
with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged
prostate leading to difficulty urinating), and hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland does not produce
enough thyroid hormone). Record review of Resident #35's MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14
indicating intact cognition and documented the use of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and opioid
medications. Record review of Resident #35's order summary included active orders for Risperdal 1mg,
give 0.5 tablet by mouth one time a day for bipolar and Risperdal 1mg, give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for
bipolar. Record review of Resident #35's July 2025 MAR documented the resident had been receiving
Risperdal as ordered. Record review of Resident #35's medication consents included a Texas Health and
Human Services Form 3713 Nursing Facility Consent for Antipsychotic or Neuroleptic Medication Treatment
for the medication Risperdal with no resident or resident representative signature in Section II of the form.
During an interview with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated for new psychotropic medication
orders, her expectation is for consents to be complete with doctor and resident signatures on the
appropriate forms and be obtained within 24 to 48 hours for inclusion in the resident's medical record. The
DON stated all consents should be signed by either the resident if they are their own responsible party, or
by their designated representative if they are unable to sign themselves. The DON stated Resident #35's
consent for Risperdal should have been signed by the resident or the responsible party so they would be
informed of the medication's potential side effects, understand why they have been prescribed the
medication, and decide if they want to take the medication. Record review of the facility policy titled
Unnecessary Medications, with a revision date of 2/12/2025, documented Residents have the right to be
informed of and participate in their treatment. Prior to initiating or increasing a medication, the resident,
family, and/or resident representative must be informed of the benefits, risks, and alternatives for the
medication, in advance of such initiation or increase. The resident has the right to accept or decline the
initiation or increase of a mediation. To demonstrate compliance, the

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident assessment accurately reflected the
resident's status for 4 of 6 residents (Resident #7, Resident #8, Resident #10, and Resident #35) who were
reviewed for resident assessments. 1.The facility failed to document Resident #7's use of anticonvulsant
medication on the quarterly MDS assessment. 2. The facility failed to accurately code Resident #8's
hypoglycemic medication on the quarterly MDS assessment.3. The facility failed to document Resident
#10's use of antiplatelet medication on the quarterly MDS assessment.4. The facility failed to accurately
code Resident #35's diagnosis of bipolar disorder on the quarterly MDS assessment. This failure could
place residents at risk of improper or incorrect care and services necessary for their physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #7's admission sheet dated
10/16/2023 with an original date of 4/08/2020 documented a [AGE] year-old female resident with diagnoses
including dementia, schizophrenia, diabetes mellitus, anxiety, hypertension (high blood pressure), bipolar
disorder, depression, and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). Record review of Resident #7's MDS dated
[DATE] documented a BIMS of 6 indicating severe cognitive impairment and recorded the use of
antipsychotic, antianxiety, antidepressant, antiplatelet, and hypoglycemic medications. Further review of
Resident #7's MDS revealed the assessment did not include the use of anticonvulsants, despite the
resident receiving Lamotrigine and Depakote. Record review of Resident #7's order summary documented
active orders for the psychotropic medications: -Lamotrigine 100 mg give by mouth one time a day for
anxiety, with a start date of 04/22/2024.-Depakote 500 mg give one tablet by mouth two times per day
related to biploar disorder, with a start date of 04/21/2024.-Sertraline 100 mg give on e tablet by mouth one

Sertraline 100mg give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day.give with 25mg tab to equal 125mg daily. Zyprexa
was ordered as Zyprexa 20mg give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day. Depakote was ordered as Depakote
500mg give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day. Record review of Resident # 7's care plan, revision dated on
04/07/2025, documented ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATIONS: The resident requires the use of antipsychotic
medications r/t long-standing mental illness, dx Schizophrenia -depakote -lamotrigine. The care plan listed
Depakote and Lamotrigine in the antipsychotic medication section. The care plan did not include monitoring
for anticonvulsant medications. 2. Record review of Resident #8's admission sheet dated 3/28/2023 with an
original date of 9/13/2017 documented a [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses including
schizoaffective disorder, diabetes mellitus, dementia, depression, anxiety, insomnia, hypertension, and
cerebral infarction (stroke). Record review of Resident #8's MDS assessment dated [DATE] documented a
BIMS score of 14 indicating intact cognition and recorded the use antipsychotic, diuretic, and hypoglycemic
medications. Further review of Resident #8's MDS revealed the assessment inaccurately recorded a total of
one day for the number of days that insulin injections were received during the last 7 days. Record review of
Resident #8's order summary documented an active order for the hypoglycemic medication Trulicity (a
glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP-1] receptor agonist indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve

recorded the use of antipsychotic, antidepressant, hypnotic, anticoagulant, diuretic, opioid, and
hypoglycemic medications. Further review of Resident #10's MDS revealed the assessment did not include
the use of antiplatelet medications and inaccurately recorded the resident as receiving anticoagulant
therapy. Record review of Resident #10's August 2025 MAR documented the resident had been receiving
Aspirin as prescribed. Further review of the August MAR recorded Aspirin was ordered as Aspirin 81mg,
give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for heart health. Further review of the August MAR revealed Resident
#10 did not have an order for an anticoagulant medication. Record review of Resident #10's care plan,
dated 08/03/2024, documented The resident is on anticoagulant therapy. Further review of the care plan
showed the assessment did not include monitoring for antiplatelet therapy. 4. Record review of Resident
#35's admission sheet dated 7/01/2025 documented a [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses
including dementia with behavioral disturbance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate leading to
difficulty urinating), and hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid
hormone). Record review of Resident #35's order summary documented active orders for the psychotropic
medication Risperdal (an atypical antipsychotic indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar I
disorder with acute manic or mixed episodes, and autism-associated irritability). Record review of Resident
#35's July 2025 MAR documented the resident had been receiving Risperdal as prescribed. Further review
of the July 2025 MAR documented Risperdal was ordered as Risperdal 1mg, give 0.5 tablet by mouth one
time a day for bipolar and Risperdal 1mg, give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for bipolar, with a start date of
07/01/2025. Record review of Resident #35's MDS dated [DATE] documented a BIMS score of 14
indicating intact cognition and documented the use of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and opioid
medications. Further review of Resident #35's MDS revealed the assessment did not include a diagnosis of
bipolar disorder. Record review of Resident #35's care plan, revised dated on 07/18/2025, documented
Adverse medication effect and behavior monitoring but did not specify the type of medication class to
monitor. Further review of the care plan revealed the diagnosis of bipolar disorder was not included on the
diagnosis list. In an interview with the MDS Coordinator on 8/29/25 at 10:01 AM, the MDS Coordinator
stated if the MDS was not coded correctly or has missing information, they could miss a side effect of a
medication. The MDS Coordinator went on to state they would not know if behaviors were mania or altered
mental status, and a resident could have issues if someone did not know specific side effects of a
medication to look for if something was wrong. The MDS Coordinator stated it was important for the MDS to
be accurate so the facility could know what was going on with the whole resident. In an interview with the
DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated her expectation for the MDS was that it be accurate,
complete, and detail-oriented. The DON went on to state the MDS is the whole picture of a resident, it
encompasses everything, and if medications and diagnoses were coded incorrectly, they needed to do
some education with the staff. In an interview with the Regional Compliance Nurse on 8/26/25 at 12:58 PM,

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening
and resident review (PASARR) program under Medicaid in subpart C of this part to the maximum extent
practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 8 residents reviewed for PASRR (Resident #34).
The facility failed to ensure Resident #34 had an accurate PASRR Level 1 Screening indicating diagnoses
of mental illness and refer the residents to the state designated authority. This failure could place residents
at risk of not receiving needed assessments (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, and specialized
services to meet their needs.Findings included: Record Review of Resident #34's admission record, dated
8/26/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a mental health condition with a mix of schizophrenia
symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as depression,
mania), generalized anxiety disorder, epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring seizures), insomnia,
and disorganized schizophrenia (a subtype of schizophrenia characterized by disorganized thought
process, speech, and behavior). Record Review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS assessment, dated
8/2/25, reflected Resident #34 had intact cognition for daily decision making and had anxiety, seizure
disorder, and schizophrenia. Record review of Resident #34's care plan, initiated 6/11/25, revealed a care
area for Resident #34 required anti-psychotic medications, to administer as ordered, and monitor/document
for side effects and effectiveness. Record review of Resident #34's physician's order, dated 8/26/25,
indicated Resident #34 took Risperdal for schizophrenia daily. Record review of Resident #34's PASRR
Level 1 Screening completed on 5/19/25 indicated in section C0100 there was no evidence of this individual
having mental illness or dementia. During an interview on 8/28/25 at 11:48 a.m. the MDS Coordinator
stated Resident #34 did not have a qualifying mental disorder for PASRR services. The MDS Coordinator
stated the resident came with the PASRR already completed prior to her admission and she did not think
there were any errors on Resident #34's PASRR Level 1 Screening. During a follow up interview on 8/28/25
at 5:00 p.m. the MDS Coordinator stated they had corrected the PASRR for Resident #34 to answer yes to
the mental illness question so the resident could be evaluated by the local authority to see if the resident
could qualify for services. Record review of the facility's policy titled PASRR Nursing Facility Specialized
Policy and Procedure, dated 3/6/19, stated Policy: It is the policy of [corporate name] facilities to ensure
NFSS Forms are submitted timely and accurately. Procedure: 1. PL1 is completed. 2. If PL1 is coded as
suspicion of MI, ID or DD, then a PE is required. 3. The LA completes the PE and if Positive, a PCSP Initial
Meeting is scheduled. 4. NF PCSP meetings scheduled within 14days of admission and annually.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to revise the comprehensive care plan after each
assessment for 5 of 6 residents (Residents #1, #4, #7, #10, and #35) reviewed for care planning. 1. The
facility failed to ensure Resident #1's care plan was accurate to reflect that he was not a smoker.2. The
Facility failed to ensure Resident #4's care plan reflected he was on dialysis. 3. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #7's care plan was accurate and updated to reflect the type of psychoactive medications
prescribed for Resident #7 and the specific side effect monitoring of those medications. 4. The facility failed
to ensure Resident #10's care plan was accurate and updated to reflect the type of blood thinning
medication Resident #10 was prescribed.5. The facility failed to ensure Resident #35's care plan was
accurate and updated to reflect Resident #35's psychiatric diagnoses and psychoactive specific medication
monitoring. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to
meet their current needs. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #1's admission Record dated
08/28/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility 07/09/2025. His diagnoses included
other frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (a group of neurodegenerative disorders associated with
changes in the brain's frontal and temporal lobes which control functions related to personality, behavior,
and language), pneumonia due to methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus (a bacterial infection of the
lungs that can be treated with antibiotics), and schizophrenia (a mental health condition where people can
experience a disconnection from reality, presenting with symptoms such as false beliefs and disorganized
thinking). Record review of Resident #1's Smoking Assessment with an effective date of 07/28/2025
revealed he was unable to find the smoking areas, was unable to extinguish smoking materials or know
how to dispose of ashes and was unable to smoke unattended. The assessment had a box checked
indicating the evaluation has been explained to the family responsible party. There was no indication on the
form, however, if the resident was a current smoker or had ever smoked. Record review of Resident #1's
Care Plan, with date initiated 07/27/2025, indicated Resident Smokes with a goal of resident will be able to
smoke without causing injury. Another entry on the same Care Plan with date initiated 08/13/2025 indicated
Resident is a smoker with a goal of will smoke in designated areas without occurrence of injury over next
90 days. Record review of Progress Notes dated 07/09/2025 contained an admission Note that
documented Resident Smokes: No. Observations of Resident #1 during the survey from 08/26/2025
through 08/29/2025, revealed resident sleeping or wandering in the secure unit with his arms crossed in
front of him. Resident #1 was never observed in the smoking area with other residents. During an interview
with LVN E on 08/29/2025 at 9:45 am, LVN E stated that Resident #1 was not a smoker and did not
participate in many activities. During an interview with MDS Coordinator on 08/29/2025 at 10:01 am, MDS
Coordinator stated she had only been employed in this facility for 2 months. The MDS stated, I review Care
Plans and make sure the whole IDT team is in agreement with the needs of the residents. I am also part of
the care conference team. In the first set of care plans, I go through the triggers and I do an assessment. I
look at the resident as well as look at notes from the Treatment Nurse, weekly nurse assessment, etc. The
MDS Coordinator stated that Resident #1 was not a smoker and this should not have been placed in the
Care Plan. 2. Record review of Resident #4's admission record, dated 8/29/25 with an initial admission date
of 12/13/2017 and readmission of 7/31/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses that
included end stage renal disease (the final stage of kidney failure), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood
sugar levels and insulin resistance) without complications. Record Review of Resident

plan revealed the diagnosis of bipolar disorder was not included on the diagnosis list. During an interview
with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated it was important for the care plan to be accurate,
because the care plan is the communication between staff regarding a resident's care and includes
information necessary for the Kardex (a patient care summary tool often found in digital format). The DON
stated her expectation is for care plans to be part of the morning meetings so they can be done quickly, and
important things needed on the plan can be covered in the meetings. Review of the facility's policy titled
Comprehensive Care Planning, undated, noted Each resident will have a person-centered comprehensive
care plan developed and implemented to meet his other preferences and goals, and address the resident's
medical, physical, mental and psychosocial needs and The resident's care plan will be reviewed after each

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment
remained as free of accident hazards as was possible for 1 of 4 hallways (hallway 2300) observed for
accidents and hazards: The facility failed to ensure hallway 2300 did not have a capped lancet lying in the
middle of the floor. This failure could place residents at risk of harm or injury and contribute to avoidable
accidents and a decline in health. The findings included: During an observation on 8/28/2025 at 11:07 AM,
a capped lancet was observed lying on the floor of hallway 2300. Twenty minutes later at 11:27 AM, the
capped lancet was still observed lying on the floor of hallway 2300. Between 11:07 AM and 11:27 AM,
Housekeeper A was observed walking up and down hallway 2300 past the capped lancet cleaning
restrooms and resupplying rooms with soap and paper towels. Housekeeper A did not pick up the capped
lancet or bring it to the attention of staff nurses during the observation period. During an interview with
Housekeeper A on 8/28/2025 at 11:30 AM, Housekeeper A stated she did not know what the capped lancet
was, and that it should be cleaned up. Housekeeper A further stated she did not know where the item
should be disposed. Housekeeper A stated when something is on the floor and she does not know what it
is or how to dispose of it, she should ask the nurse. Housekeeper A stated if a capped lancet was left on
the ground a resident could slip and fall on it.During an interview with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM the
DON stated her expectation is for staff to keep a clean house, and if a staff member walks down a hall and
sees trash, the staff member should pick it up, especially if it is something that can injure a resident. The
DON further stated if a staff member did not know how to dispose of an item, she expects them to ask for
guidance from a nurse.Record review of the facility policy titled Fall Policy, undated, documented Preventing
falls requires an interdisciplinary program that focuses on modifying the extrinsic factors, correcting intrinsic
factors, and educating the resident and family, Appropriate education will be provided to all staff members
as needed on fall prevention, and Remove clutter from floors/hallways.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent of
bladder and bowel received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections for 1 of 4
residents (Resident #34) reviewed for incontinent care: The facility failed to ensure CNA F did not wipe
between Resident #34's gluteal folds from back to front in the wrong direction during incontinent care. This
deficient practice could place residents at-risk for infection and skin break down due to improper care
practices. The findings included: Record Review of Resident #34's admission record, dated 8/26/25,
revealed a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar levels, insulin resistance, and a relative loss of insulin),
bacteremia (infection or bacteria in the blood), schizoaffective disorder (a mental health condition with a mix
of schizophrenia symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as
depression, mania), generalized anxiety disorder, epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring
seizures), insomnia, and disorganized schizophrenia (a subtype of schizophrenia characterized by
disorganized thought process, speech, and behavior). Record Review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS
assessment, dated 8/2/25, reflected Resident #34 had intact cognition for daily decision making and was
frequently incontinent of bladder and always incontinent of bowel. Record review of Resident #34's care
plan, initiated 6/11/25, revealed a care area for Resident #34 had bowel incontinence with an intervention to
check resident every 2 hours and assist with toileting as needed. During an observation on 8/29/25 at 10:54
a.m. CNA F provided incontinent care to Resident #34. After cleansing the resident's urethral area, CNA F
moved to her rectal area and wiped between the gluteal folds and towards to urethra and vaginal area.
During an interview on 8/29/25 at 11:11 a.m. CNA F stated she should wipe from front to back or away from
the front area of the resident to prevent from getting bacteria from her rectal area in her urethral or vaginal
area. CNA F stated the resident was at risk of a UTI. CNA F stated she did not realize she was wiping the
wrong direction while cleaning between the gluteal folds. During an interview on 8/29/25 at 1:07 p.m. the
DON stated staff needed to wipe the resident from front to back direction while providing incontinent care to
prevent infection. Record review of the facility's policy titled Perineal Care, effective date 5/11/22, stated
Purpose, This procedure aims to maintain the resident dignity and self-worth and reduce embarrassment
by providing cleanliness and comfort to the resident, preventing infections and skin irritation, and observing
the resident's skin condition.Front. 17) Gently perform perineal care, wiping from clean, urethral area, to
dirty, rectal area, to avoid contaminating the urethral area - CLEAN to DIRTY. Female resident: Working
from front to back, wipe one side of the labia majora, the outside folds of perineal skin that protect the

services, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #4) reviewed for
dialysis: The facility did not maintain communication, coordination, and collaboration with the dialysis facility
for Resident #4. This failure could affect residents who received dialysis treatments and place them at risk
for complications and not receiving proper care and treatment to meet their needs. The findings
included:Record review of Resident #4's admission record, dated 8/29/25 with an initial admission date of
12/13/2017 and readmission of 7/31/25 revealed a resident [AGE] year-old male resident with diagnoses
that included end stage renal disease (the final stage of and type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar
levels, insulin resistance, and a relative last of insulin) without complications. Record Review of Resident

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure drug records were in order
and that an account of all controlled drugs was maintained and periodically reconciled for 3 of 5 carts
(2300/2400 hall nurse cart, 2300/2400 hall medication aide cart, and the 2200/2500 hall medication aide
cart) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure the controlled substance reconciliation
logs were signed for accuracy of medication quantities during shift change. This failure could place
residents at risk of not receiving their prescribed medications, experiencing untreated pain and anxiety, and
a decreased quality of life. The findings included: During an observation of the 2200/2500 hall medication
aide cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:14 AM, a sample of controlled medications was inventoried for accuracy with
Medication Aide B. The sample inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities
documented on the individual controlled substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister
packs, however record review of the comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart
audit during shift change revealed the log was missing a signature. During an interview with Medication
Aide B on 8/28/2025 at 8:14 AM, Medication Aide B stated it was important to perform the card audit and to
sign the reconciliation log in the presence of the staff member who was receiving or relinquishing the cart.
Medication Aide B further stated she should always sign the reconciliation log, because if the log was not
signed the next person responsible for the cart will not know if the count of controlled medications was
correct. During an observation of the 2300/2400 hall medication aide cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:24 AM, a
sample of controlled medications was inventoried for accuracy with Medication Aide C. The sample
inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities documented on the individual controlled
substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister packs, however record review of the
comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart audit during shift change revealed the
log was missing a signature. During an interview with Medication Aide C on 8/28/2025 at 8:24 AM,
Medication Aide C stated it was important to sign the reconciliation log to make sure the medication count
was right. Medication Aide C further stated if the reconciliation log was not signed at shift change, it would
not be known if the log was accurate, and the count of medication could be off. During an observation of the
2300/2400 hall nurse cart on 8/28/2025 at 8:40 AM a sample of controlled medications was inventoried for
accuracy with LVN D. The sample inventory showed no discrepancies between medication quantities
documented on the individual controlled substance logs and the number of pills remaining in the blister
packs, however record review of the comprehensive controlled medication reconciliation log used for cart
audit during shift change revealed the log was missing a signature. During an interview with LVN D on
8/28/2025 at 8:40 AM, LVN D stated if the reconciliation log was missing a signature, the medication count
might be wrong, and the log should be verified during shift change. LVN D stated if she found the count of a
controlled substance to be incorrect, she would bring it to the attention of the DON. During an interview with
the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM, the DON stated her expectation for medication carts was that anytime a
staff member hands off a cart to another employee, there needed to be two people to perform the
controlled medication audit, and both parties should be looking at both the log and the blister packs while
counting. The DON further stated it was important to never accept someone else's cart without inventorying
the controlled medications together, because it cannot be known if there was a discrepancy without
counting. Record review of the facility policy titled Controlled Medications-Administration dated 2025 noted
At each shift change, a physical inventory of all controlled medications is conducted by two licensed nurses
and/or one nurse and a CMA, QMAP, Med Tech or equivalent as allowed by your

sitting in the top drawer of the cart. During an interview with Medication Aide B on 8/28/2025 at 8:14 AM,
Medication Aide B stated if pills are left in dosing cups in the medication cart, they could be mistaken for
someone else's pills and be given to the incorrect resident. Medication Aide B further stated when she sees
pills in dosing cups left in the cart, she should let the nurse know and dispose of the unlabeled medications.

interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical records were kept in accordance with
professional standards and practices and were complete and accurately documented for 1 of 6 residents
(Resident #35) reviewed for accuracy of records. The facility failed to ensure Resident #35's diagnosis of
bipolar disorder was documented on the resident's active diagnosis list, the MDS assessment, and the care
plan. This failure could place residents at risk for improper care due to inaccurate records. The findings
included: Record review of Resident #35's admission sheet dated 7/01/2025 documented a [AGE] year-old
male resident with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance, benign prostatic hyperplasia
(enlarged prostate leading to difficulty urinating), and hypothyroidism (when the thyroid gland does not
produce enough thyroid hormone). Record review of Resident #35's MDS dated [DATE] documented a
BIMS score of 14 indicating intact cognition and recorded the use of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and
opioid medications. Further review of the MDS revealed the assessment did not include a diagnosis of
bipolar disorder. Record review of Resident #35's order summary included active orders for Risperdal 1mg,
give 0.5 tablet by mouth one time a day for bipolar and Risperdal 1mg, give 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime for
bipolar. Record review of Resident #35's care plan documented the resident had behaviors but did not
include a diagnosis of bipolar disorder in the diagnosis list. Record review of Resident #35's diagnosis
report did not include a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Record review of Resident #35's hospital Discharge
summary dated [DATE] documented the resident had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Record review of

sedation, effectiveness, and adverse effects. During an interview with the DON on 8/29/25 at 1:23 PM the
DON stated her expectation for clinical records was for notes to be reviewed and all diagnoses be added to
the medical record. The DON further stated she expected hospital discharge paperwork to be reviewed for
new diagnoses and care plan updates. The DON stated if diagnoses were missing from the medical record,
the facility could not provide care, because they would not have the full picture of the resident. In an
interview with the Regional Compliance Nurse on 8/29/25 at 2:32 PM the Regional Compliance Nurse
stated there was no specific facility policy for clinical records.
