cigarettes or a lighter in her room and stated she stashed these items next door at an abandoned building
for her use in the evenings off premises. There was an incident on 10/09/2024 when the SS grabbed
cigarettes out of resident's hands when returning from a smoke visit and in the process, bend the resident's
glasses, and now her glasses do not fit correctly. Resident #128 reported it to the ADM, and she showed
the surveyor copies of text message sent to the ADM. Resident #128 stated these searches made her feel
embarrassed, harassed, angry, and singled out.
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 07:46 AM, Resident #128 clarified that her allegation of assault
against the SS had occurred off property. However, these searches occurred on property while trying to exit
and enter the facility. Resident #128 stated that she felt sad, depressed, angry, and it made her cry. Her
depression was worse. She felt like she was not wanted at the facility and worried that the SS would not
help her anymore. Resident #128 worried about filing a complaint for fear of retaliation. On 10/30/2024, the
SS had followed her outside of the facility and told the resident she had to sign a 30-day eviction notice.
Resident #128 stated she told the SS that she would sign the eviction notice but would write on the notice
that the SS had been stalking them off property. When she returned to the facility, she asked to sign the
eviction notice and the SS threw up her hands and said never mind. The SS was getting out of control.
Resident #140 was also present during the interview and recalled the incident as well. Resident #140
stated that she was upset and cried. She felt like no one cared about her and she was not wanted at the
facility. She stated the SS treated her like a child.

blue scrubs came into her room about two weeks ago and searched her belongings and her roommate's
belongings in their drawers without her permission. Her roommate was not in the room. The staff member
stated they needed to clean up the room before State arrived. On another occasion, an unnamed CNA
went through her closet and took clothes without her permission. The unnamed CNA told the resident that
the clothes would not fit her, and she did not need them. This made the resident very angry because these
were clothes and items, she received from family members and other visitors that came to see her. 1 of 9
confidential residents reported this to the ADM and DON and was told they would investigate it, but nothing
happened. 2 of 9 confidential residents stated that an unidentified staff member came into his room without
permission and took items (toiletries and clothing) that he bought and give it to another resident without his
permission. That made him mad because he paid for those items, and they were his.
3 of 9 confidential residents stated that an unnamed CNA had come into her room on an unidentified date
without permission and took incontinence supplies (diapers/briefs) that her family member bought for her
and gave it to another resident without her permission. That made her upset because her family member
paid for those and they were meant for her, not another resident.
4 of 9 confidential residents stated that several staff members on different dates have search her shopping
bags, without permission, when she came back into the facility after going to the store. Her room was

asked if they have any prohibited items in their possession, but they are not searched unless the resident
consents. Staff do not take items away from the residents, but rather, residents were encouraged to give the
facility the items, such as cigarettes and lighters. If the resident refused, then they would deal with it in an
Interdisciplinary team meeting. The ADM stated residents' rooms were searched when the resident gave
consent. The ADM was not aware of any facility policy regarding searching the residents.
Record review of the investigation note revealed the ADM had received a text message on 10/09/2024 at

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/13/2024 at 03:14 PM, the SS denied searching any resident without permission.

denied taking anything from the residents. The SS was not aware of any facility policy regarding searching
the residents. The SS stated she had never taken anything out of a resident's wheelchair.
When asked about the incident with Resident #128, the SS could not recall the specific date, but stated it

the facility, after being outside and Resident #128 said SS scratched her and was going to call the State.
The SS stated nothing happened. The residents went upstairs and returned to their room. The SS went
upstairs and asked the nurse to do a skin assessment, which was refused. When the surveyor asked the
SS about the progress note in Resident #128's file, the SS said she took something out of the resident's
wheelchair, but then stated maybe she looked at some paper but did not take anything out of the
wheelchair. The SS denied ever taking cigarettes away from Resident #128. The SS stated that there were
no cigarettes involved in this incident. She informed the DON of the incident. The SS stated she was very
surprised to learn Resident #128 had a problem with her. The SS repeated stated, Why would I risk my

August of 2024, the SS searched Resident #101 without her consent. Resident #101 was smoking
marijuana outside and when the resident came back inside the facility, the SS asked for the marijuana and
Resident #101 told her no. The SS searched Resident #101's wheelchair without her consent and found
marijuana and cigarettes and kept them. The resident was extremely upset and said, You can't do that. The
RECP reported it her supervisor, the DON, and the ADM. The ADM made a joke about it and said, why
can't she smoke marijuana to help her sleep? The RECP stated that she was told by the ADM and her
supervisor that only the SS could search residents.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 09:24 AM, CNA O stated that residents' wheelchairs and rooms (bed,
closet, dresser drawers) were searched by staff if they suspected the resident had contraband or the room

the residents cannot have cigarettes or lighters for their own safety. Usually, residents will allow her, and
she had never had a resident refuse.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 10:22 AM, the SW stated she was not sure about the facility's policy

had a resident refuse.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 03:36 PM, the DON stated she had been trained on resident rights.
She stated the facility does not have a policy on searching residents. The DON stated they ask residents for
permission to search. If the resident refused, they would get another staff member involved to convince the
resident to comply with the search. If the resident was suspected of having contraband and would not
consent to a search, then they called the police. If the resident refused a search, it must be documented in
the resident's chart under nurses' notes. The DON stated that Resident #128 accused the SS of searching
resident without her consent. The SS took cigarettes out of her hand while on property in the parking lot.
The DON stated that she was not aware of the incident with Resident #101. This behavior would meet her
expectations.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 04:17 PM, the ADM stated that the facility had no policy for searching
residents. The ADM stated that these residents have a history of bringing in illegal substances. The ADM

it is obvious these residents have contraband on them. The ADM stated they generally get consent before
searching and if a resident refused, it would be documented in the resident's progress notes. Regarding
Residents #128. #101, and #140, the ADM stated they have a history of bringing in illegal drugs. The ADM
stated that the SS saw cigarettes inside Resident #128's wheelchair and the SS took the cigarettes away.
The ADM stated that Resident #101 was very combative. The ADM was not aware of an incident with
Resident #101 being searched, but that Resident #101 had violated the smoking policy and was smoking
marijuana outside and she (Resident #101) naturally got upset when we tried to take her marijuana. The
ADM stated these residents are not your grandmas and grandpas that live here. We search their rooms and
these residents. The ADM stated that illegal drugs were brought into the facility and said, We get it out and
we do get the police involved. The ADM asked, What the hell are we supposed do? The ADM stated that he
dealt with it by searching the residents, their belonging, and their rooms without their consent. The ADM
stated, I don't believe that's a resident right. How is that their right? We are doing just what a reasonable
person would do to keep residents safe.

performance deficit related to impaired balance, limited mobility, limited ROM, pain (L-foot) with
interventions for bathing/showering, dressing, and oral care with assistance required. Resident # 176 had
the need for enhanced barrier precautions due to surgical wound on the top of the left foot and was at risk

requested help from her, she would assign it to staff. Resident #43 had requested help with cleaning her
room in the past, but not recently. The DON stated that her expectation was that staff would help a resident
as soon as possible. The DON stated a cluttered room was not homelike and a CNA not helping the
resident clean their room would not meet her expectation.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from any physical
restraints imposed for purposes of convenience and not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms
for 1 (Residents #6) of 37 residents reviewed for restraints.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure that wedges (triangle plastic pads used to position residents with pressure
ulcers) were not used on the side of Resident # 6's bed without the resident having been evaluated for the
medical need.
This failure could result in residents having physical restraints used that limited their movement without
being evaluated for the medical need.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #6's face sheet dated 11/14/2024 reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (memory, thinking, difficulty), bipolar
(extreme mood swings), major depressive disorder, , cognitive communication deficit (problems with
communication) and muscle wasting.
Record review of Resident #6's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 14
indicating Resident #6 was cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated Resident #6 was dependent on staff
for transfers and maximal assist for bed mobility. The MDS also revealed that Resident #6 had an actual fall,
and the facility was assessing for fall risk.
Record Review of Resident #6's Care Plan dated 10/31/2024 did not have anything on it for wedges to be
used.
Record Review of Resident #6's orders revealed that there were no orders for the Wedges.
Observation of Resident #6 on 11/12/2024 at 10:45 am revealed the resident was laying in her bed moving
around. Resident #6 had two triangular wedges on her bed preventing her from getting off the bed.
Observation of Resident #6's peri care on 11/13/2024 at 9:54am revealed that the resident did not have a
pressure ulcer.
An interview with Resident #6 on 11/12/2024 at 2:28pm revealed she did not want to answer any questions
about the wedges on her bed. She said the staff treat her good.
An Interview with LVN W on 11/14/2024 at 12:44pm revealed that she had been trained on resident rights.
She stated that the facility was a no restraint facility. She said a restraint was anything that restricted the
resident's from doing everyday things. She said that the facility used the plastic triangular wedges to
position the resident's in their bed when they have a pressure ulcer. She said when using a restraint or a
wedge the facility was supposed to have the resident assessed and a doctor order before using. She said if
a resident were restrained it could affect them mentally and they may think they were being held against
their will. She said she did not know why Resident # 6 had

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
An interview with CNA O on 11/14/2024 at 12:52pm revealed he had been trained on resident rights. He
said the policy for restraints was staff could not put anything that would cause the resident to be stuck in
one place. He said bedrails and ties were restraints. He said that the plastic wedges were used to protect
residents from falling of the bed. He said he did not know if staff needed a doctor's order for the wedges. He
said if a restraint was used on a resident, they may feel trapped. He said that Resident #6 moved a lot and
the staff put the wedges there so she would not fall off the bed. He said there was no pass down (report
from the leaving staff about residents) on the wedges being used and that they were already on the
resident's bed.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview with the DON on 11/14/2024 at 1:03pm revealed she had been trained on resident rights. She
said that the facility did not have restraints because it was a no restraint facility. She said a restraint was
side rails and anything that prevents the resident from moving. She said wedges are used to position the
resident when they have a pressure ulcer. She also said the facility had to have a doctor order before a
restraint could be used. She said if staff used restraints, it could cause more injury to the resident. She said
she did not know why staff were using the plastic wedges to keep the resident from falling.
An interview with the ADM on 11/14/2024 1:36pm revealed he had been trained on resident rights. He
stated the facility was a zero-restraint facility. He said a restraint was anything that restricts a resident's
movement. He said that the plastic triangular wedges were used to position the resident in the bed when
they had a pressure sore. He also said when staff use the wedges for positioning the facility would get a
doctor order. He said the negative of using restraints could potentially affect the resident's ability to move
freely. He said he did not think staff understood the fall policy and intended to protect her.
Record Review of Resident #6's medical chart and orders did not have anything in it for the use or consent
of the wedges.
Record review of the Restraints Policy dated 08/15/2022 revealed the resident has the right to be treated
with respect and dignity, including the right to be free from any physical or chemical restraint imposed for
the purpose of discipline or staff convenience and not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms.
Before a resident is restrained, the facility will determine the presence of a specific medical symptom that
would require the use of restraints.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48
hours of admission that included the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of
the resident that meets professional standards of quality care for 1 of 10 residents (Resident #176)
reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #176's baseline care plan dated 10/21//2024 included instructions to
address her present on admission diagnosis of PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (a mental health
condition that can develop after someone experiences or witnesses a traumatic event) within 48 hours of
admission.
This failure could place the resident at risk of not receiving continuity of care and communication among
nursing home staff, reduced resident safety, and reduced safeguards against adverse events that are most
likely to occur right after admission.
Findings included:
Review of face sheet dated 11/13/2024 for Resident # 176 reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of PTSD (a mental health condition that can develop after someone
experiences or witnesses a traumatic event).
Review of Resident # 176's Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15
indicating intact cognition. Resident # 176 had a diagnosis of PTSD checked under active diagnoses.
Review of Resident # 176's baseline care plan dated 10/21/2024 did not address the PTSD.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 1:40 PM with Resident # 176 reflected Resident # 176 stated no one from
the facility had ever asked her about her PTSD and what her triggers are or what interventions she needed
to maintain her mental health. Resident # 176 stated her PTSD was because she had been abused by
males in the past. Resident # 176 stated she preferred female care staff because male care staff make her
very uneasy due to her past. Resident # 176 also stated she preferred to be spoken to in the English
language or have care staff that speak English as care staff speaking another language while providing
care also makes her very uneasy.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:15 PM the SW stated they were unsure if they needed to update a
resident care plan when a resident has a diagnosis of PTSD as they had never had that diagnosis come up
before. SW stated they were responsible for updating resident care plans regarding changed behaviors,
advance directives, visual or auditory needs, dementia, cognition loss, and discharge needs. SW stated the
initial assessment conducted with the resident was done by verbal communication with the resident and
any information entered was only from what the resident verbally told her. SW stated that if a diagnosis of
PTSD were on the resident list of diagnoses, then the resident should be asked about the diagnosis to see
if any accommodations are needed to manage the residents care at the facility. SW stated they were
unsure who was responsible for asking about accommodations pertaining to a PTSD diagnosis. SW stated
if accommodation of needs are not updated on the care plan, then that could negatively affect the resident
by the staff not knowing what the residents' could be.

In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:30 PM with SS reflected SS stated if a resident had a diagnosis of
PTSD, then the resident baseline care plan and comprehensive care plan would be custom care plan's
including their symptoms or triggers and the interventions needed to address those triggers. SS stated they
are responsible for updating a resident's baseline and comprehensive care plan regarding behaviors and
mental illness diagnoses. SS stated if a resident's care plan was not updated to address a resident with a
diagnosis of PTSD, then it would depend on the resident symptoms or if the resident were asymptomatic as
to whether it could negatively affect a resident.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 3:45 PM the DON stated their expectation was that resident care plans
were updated accurately and timely. DON stated it was the responsibility of the SW to update baseline and
comprehensive care plans regarding behaviors and mental illnesses including any resident triggers and
interventions needed to manage their behaviors or illness. DON stated it could negatively affect a resident
with a diagnosis of PTSD if their care plan was not updated to reflect that diagnosis in that the staff would
not know the residents triggers.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:30 PM with the ADM reflected the ADM stated it was their expectation
that resident care plans were complete and accurate. ADM stated it was the responsibility of the
interdisciplinary team which included SW, SS, DDS, DON, ADON, Assistant ADM, and ADM to ensure
resident care plan were complete and accurate. ADM stated if resident care plans were not completed or
accurate then resident needs could not be met. ADM stated that for a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD if
the care plan did not reflect that then the resident triggers could be missed.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 4;05PM, a request for the base line care plan policy was requested from ADM.

In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 1:40 PM Resident # 176 stated no one from the facility had ever asked her
about her PTSD and what her triggers are or what interventions she needed to maintain her mental health.
Resident # 176 stated her PTSD was because she had been abused by males in the past. Resident # 176
stated she preferred female care staff because male care staff make her very uneasy due to her past.
Resident # 176 also stated she preferred to be spoken to in the English language or have care staff that
speak English as care staff speaking another language while providing care also makes her very uneasy.

resident care plan when a resident has a diagnosis of PTSD as they had never had that diagnosis come up
before. SW stated they were responsible for updating resident care plans regarding changed behaviors,
advance directives, visual, dental, or auditory needs, dementia, cognition loss, and discharge needs. SW
stated the initial assessment conducted with the resident is done by verbal communication with the resident
and any information entered is only from what the resident verbally tells the SW. SW stated that if a
diagnosis of PTSD is on the resident list of diagnoses, then the resident should be asked about the
diagnosis to see if any accommodations are needed to manage the residents care at the facility. SW stated
they were unsure who was responsible for asking about accommodations pertaining to a PTSD diagnosis.
SW stated if accommodation of needs is not updated on the care plan, then that could negatively affect the
resident by the staff not knowing what the resident's triggers are.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:30 PM with SS revealed SS stated if a resident had a diagnosis of
PTSD, then the resident care plan would be a custom care plan including their symptoms or triggers and
the interventions needed to address those triggers. SS stated they are responsible for updating a resident's
care plan regarding behaviors and mental illness diagnoses. SS stated if a resident's care plan was not
updated to address a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD, then it would depend on the resident symptoms or
if the resident were asymptomatic as to whether it could negatively affect a resident.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 3:45 PM the DON stated their expectation was that resident care plans
were updated accurately and timely. DON stated it was the responsibility of the SW to update care plans
regarding behaviors The DON stated it could negatively affect a resident if their care plan was not updated
or by the resident potentially not receiving the services or care needed.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:30 PM with the ADM reflected the ADM stated it was their expectation
that resident care plans were completed and accurate. The ADM stated it was the responsibility of the

accurate then resident needs could not be met.

on 10/29/2024, 10/30/2024, 11/08/2024, 11/09/2024, 11/10/2024.
During an interview and observation on 11/12/2024 at 09:58 AM, Resident #60 stated he had not had a
bath or shower in 10 days. He stated the facility did not have enough CNAs to give showers consistently.
Resident #60 was dressed in a hospital gown and stated he wanted a shower, and his shower day was
11/12/2024.
During an interview and observation on 11/13/2024 at 05:05 PM, Resident #60 was sitting in the dining
room dressed in hospital gown with no socks or shoes. Resident #60 stated he did not receive a shower on
11/12/2024 but did receive one on 11/13/2024 and he felt better. Resident #60 stated he had not moved to
a different room, been out of the facility, or unavailable during his shower schedule, which was Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays. He was not on hospice and stated the CNAs were supposed to shower him.
There had been a couple of times that he refused a shower because he was not feeling well. He had not
received a sponge bath in lieu of a shower. Resident #60 stated he had not received his showers regularly
and he believed it was because the facility did not have enough CNAs. Not getting his showers made him
feel nasty and bad because he had bowel movements on himself and on the floor.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 08:47 a.m., CNA I stated that he gave residents showers on their
shower days. CNA explained that residents have shower days scheduled every three days. If residents
need frequent showers, then that is fine, but they usually have showers ordered for every three days. CNA
explained that in the shower log, Not applicable meant maybe the resident is not there, they are out on
leave, in the hospital or not available right now; So, cannot provide care, because resident is not there.
When that occurred, the residents were asked when they returned if they wanted a shower. If they refused,
the CNA voiced he would report that to the Charge Nurse.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 09:01 a.m., CNA J stated that she gave residents showers on their
shower days or whenever they ask for one. As my schedule permits it. I try to get the ones that scheduled
that day and then I try to get the ones that asked for it. CNA explained that in the shower log, Not applicable
meant they were not here for a shower. Or it is not their shower day, and they just have it wrong in PCC.
Usually put NA when they are out on a pass. I wait until end of the shift to document. Cannot document at
the beginning because they might come back. There is no way of changing the documentation or option for
NA or Resident not available once I select that option. Unless, sometimes in PCC it says it is their shower
day and it is not. Sometimes they get moved from another room and their shower day changed. But if they
come back at any time of the day while I am here, they get their shower and sometimes they still get their
shower on second shift. It depends on if they want it or not. CNA explained if a resident refuses their
shower we let the nurse know. But we come back a few more times to ask them at least three times
because sometimes they change their mind. We wait an hour or so and ask them. Try different approaches
to see if that will make them want to

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
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents who were trauma survivors received
culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice and
accounted for residents' experiences and preferences to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause
re-traumatization for 1 (Resident #176) of 3 resident reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #176's potential triggers were care planned.
This failure could place residents at increased risk for psychological distress due to re-traumatization.
Findings included:
Review of face sheet dated 11/13/2024 for Resident # 176 reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of PTSD (a mental health condition that can develop after someone
experiences or witnesses a traumatic event)
Review of Resident # 176's Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15
indicating intact cognition. Resident # 176 had a diagnosis of PTSD checked under active diagnoses.
Resident # 176's mood section of the MDS reflected resident had felt down, depressed, or hopeless with a
frequency of half or more of the days. Resident # 176 mood section also reflected resident had felt bad
about themselves or that they were a failure or had let themselves down half or more of the days. No
behaviors recorded for Resident # 176.
Review of Resident # 176's baseline care plan dated 10/21/2024 reflected under section mood and
psychosocial wellbeing no documentation of PTSD diagnosis recorded. No interventions in place to
address or mitigate Resident # 176's diagnosis of PTSD recorded.
Review of Resident # 176's care plan dated 10/22/2024 reflected no documentation regarding Resident #
176's diagnosis of PTSD.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 1:40 PM Resident # 176 stated no one from the facility had ever asked her
about her PTSD and what her triggers are or what interventions she needed to maintain her mental health.
Resident # 176 stated her PTSD was because she had been abused by males in the past. Resident # 176
stated she preferred female care staff because male care staff make her very uneasy due to her past.
Resident # 176 also stated she preferred to be spoken to in the English language or have care staff that
speak English as care staff speaking another language while providing care also makes her very uneasy.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:15 PM the SW stated they were unsure if they needed to update a
resident care plan when a resident has a diagnosis of PTSD as they had never had that diagnosis come up
before. SW stated the initial assessment conducted with the resident was done by verbal communication
with the resident and any information entered was only from what the resident told the SW. SW stated that
if a diagnosis of PTSD was on the resident list of diagnoses, then the resident should be asked about the
diagnosis to see if any accommodations are needed to manage the residents care at the facility. SW stated
they were unsure who was responsible for asking about accommodations pertaining to a PTSD diagnosis.
SW stated if accommodation of needs was not updated on the care plan, then

that could negatively affect the resident by the staff not knowing what the resident's triggers are.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:30 PM SS stated if a resident had a diagnosis of PTSD, then the
resident care plan would be a custom care plan including their symptoms or triggers and the interventions
needed to address those triggers. SS stated they are responsible for updating a resident's care plan
regarding behaviors and mental illness diagnoses. SS stated if a resident's care plan was not updated to
address a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD, then it would depend on the resident symptoms or if the
resident were asymptomatic as to whether it could negatively affect a resident.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 3:45 PM the DON stated their expectation was that resident care plans
were updated accurately and timely. DON stated it was the responsibility of the SW to update care plans
regarding behaviors. DON stated it could negatively affect a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD if their care
plan was not updated to reflect that diagnosis in that the staff would not know the residents' triggers.
In an interview on 11/14/2024 at 4:30 PM the ADM stated it was their expectation that resident care plans
were completed and accurate. ADM stated it was the responsibility of the interdisciplinary team which
included SW, SS, DDS, DON, ADON, Assistant ADM, and ADM to ensure resident care plan were
completed and accurate. ADM stated if resident care plans were not completed or accurate then resident
needs could not be met. ADM stated that for a resident with a diagnosis of PTSD if the care plan did not
reflect that then the resident triggers could be missed.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 4:05 PM of the ADM was asked for the facility's base line care plan policy ,policy
not provided prior to exit.
Review of comprehensive care plan policy dated 10/24/2022 reflected under heading policy: It is the policy
of this facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident,
consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's
medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the resident's comprehensive
assessment. Under heading definitions: Trauma-informed care is an approach to delivering care that
involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of traumata. A
trauma-informed approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact, and signs and symptoms of
trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures, and
practices to avoid re-traumatization. Under heading policy explanation and compliance guidelines:
1. The care planning process will include an assessment of the resident's strengths and needs and will
incorporate the president's personal and cultural preferences in developing goals of care. Services
provided or arranged by the facility, as outlined by the comprehensive care plan, shall be culturally
competent and trauma informed.
2. The comprehensive care plan will be developed within 7 days after the completion of the
comprehensive MDS assessment. All Care Assessment Areas (CAAs) triggered by the MDS will be
considered in developing the plan of care. Other factors identified by the interdisciplinary team, or in
accordance with the resident's preferences, will also be addressed in the plan of care. The facility's

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that its medication error
rate was not 5 percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 7.69 % based on 2 errors out of
26 opportunities, which involved 2 of 4 residents (Resident #1 & #156) and 2 of 2 staff (MA R and MA T)
reviewed for medication errors, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
MA R administered a whole Metroprolol ER (Extended release or slow release) gel pill and the Resident #1
had orders to crush all medications.
MA T administered 1 medication (Metroprolol) which was ordered to be given if blood pressure reading was
within the parameters. Orders indicated to hold (do not give to resident) if blood pressure reading is outside
of the parameters. The blood pressure was outside of the parameters.
These failures could place residents at risk of medication errors that could cause a decline in health.
Findings included:
During an observation on 11/12/2024 at 03:29 p.m., MA R was observed passing medications to Resident
#1 which included 5 medications (Dicyclomine 10MG, Acidophilus Probiotic, Fish Oil 1000 MG (gel
capsule), Quetiapine Fumarate 100 MG and Dorzolamide). Resident #1 had orders for all medications to be
crushed. MA R crushed all medications except the Fish Oil 1000 MG (gel capsule). MA R administered the
Fish Oil as a whole gel pill along with the crushed medications.
During an interview with MA R on 11/12/24 03:38 p.m., MA R voiced that she did not cut the fish oil pill
because the resident takes it whole and if she cuts it, he will not get all the medication. MA R verbalized it's
a gel you can't crush it. When asked the MA R what the facility policy is for gel pills with orders to crush, she
verbalized she doesn't know the policy to be honest. She just goes based off of her experience with the
resident.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 08:25 a.m. MA T stated she knew when medications are supposed to
be crushed because it was in the computer under the resident's orders. MA T stated gel medications should
not be crushed. MA T added that you cannot crush the gel medication and you just go back to the nurse,
and they will see what is going on. MA T stated if a resident gets a medication that is supposed to be
crushed, they can choke, and it can kill the resident. MA T added You can't give a resident a pill if you are
supposed to crush it because it means he can't swallow it.
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 2:09 p.m., the DON stated gel medications are not to be crushed.
DON added I think they need to notify the nurse and let them know this resident has crushed medications
and get them to change the order or get another alternative to crush . The DON stated if a resident was
supposed to get a crushed medication and they get a whole one instead, they can choke on it, and they will
not be able to swallow it. The DON voiced the last time staff were in-serviced on medication administration
was with the month or 2 months and the ADON was responsible for providing the in-services to staff.
During an observation on 11/13/2024 at 07:13 a.m., MA T was observed obtaining Resident #156 blood
pressure and it was: 145/67 with a HR of 54. MA T was observed passing medication to Resident # 156

surveyor, during a medication pass inspection. The medications were not in sight of MA T view. MA T
walked down the hall to ask the charge nurse for clarification on a medication order.
Observation on 11/13/2024 at 7:49 a.m., MA T returned to cart with the ADON . MA T was instructed by the
ADON to act as if the surveyor is not here and reminded that she is to lock up medications when she is
walking away from her cart. At 7:56 am MA T, stated she would not leave the medications out because
people can come up and take them. MA T stated she has never done that before, she just assumed the
surveyor would watch the medications and the medications were okay.
Observation on 11/13/2024 at 5:49 p.m., revealed an unlocked medication cart by the front entrance on the
first floor. There were no staff nearby the cart and residents were in the area.
Interview with MA T on 11/13/2024 at 8:07 a.m., MA T, reported she would never leave the medications out,
she stated she put everything inside and locked the cart and then she would have walked away. MA T
voiced someone could take the medications, if she left them out and it could be a medication like a blood
pressure medication and if a resident takes it and they are not supposed to, maybe someone can die. MA T
voiced the facility told staff every time they have to lock their carts with the medications in them and then
go, even if someone is dying, even if there is a fire, lock the medications in the cart and do not leave them
out. MA T voiced she left them out today with the surveyor because the surveyor was there, and she
thought it was okay to leave the medications with the surveyor, but she knew the rules. MA T voiced she did
not lock the medication cart when she was giving a resident medication because she was in the room and
the cart was pushed up against the door so, no one can get the cart. MA T voiced I must lock it but maybe I
fear you and forgot. I do not know; I am supposed to calm down. She voiced I have to lock my cart. MA T
sated if she does not lock her cart, maybe someone can come and pull it, maybe somebody fall, maybe he
can take my things medications here. MA T voiced the policy for locking the medication cart indicates they
have to lock the cart.

had secured a vehicle the driver took Resident # 153 to the imaging appointment but was late to the
appointment and the imaging facility therefore canceled the appointment. The CST stated it was their and
the driver's responsibility to ensure resident transportation to appointments was secured and carried out.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident's medical records are accurately
documented for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #13) reviewed for clinical records.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #13's admission Agreement dated 8/26/24 signed electronically after
consent received during phone conversation was witnessed by 2 people.
These failures could result in inaccurate records, errors in care, decline in health and quality of life.
Findings Include:
Review of Resident #13's face sheet revealed an 80-years-old male with admission date of 8/24/24 with a
discharge date of 10/18/2024. Diagnoses included: Hyperlipidemia (high level of lipids or fats in the blood),
vascular dementia (memory and thought process difficulties related to multiple strokes, or loss of blood
circulation to the brain), hypertension (high blood pressure), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and cognitive
communication deficit (inability to communicate).
Review of Resident #13's initial minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a brief
interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 12 which indicated mild cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #13's Care plan dated 8/27/24 revealed the resident was dependent on staff for
meeting emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs related to cognitive deficits, immobility, and
physical limitations.
Review of Resident #13's Daily skilled note dated 8/26/24 at 12:25 PM revealed resident had impaired
decision-making ability.
Review of Resident #13's admission Agreement dated 8/26/24 revealed electronic signatures for Resident
#13's FM 2 the ADMC and/or the ABOM on pages 4,5,6,7,8, 10 and 11.
Review of Resident #13's Power of Attorney dated 1/27/15, Resident #13 appointed his FM as power of
attorney.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 11:16 AM with FM of Resident #13 revealed concerns with medical records. She
stated she recently realized that no admission agreement had been signed when Resident #13 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Stated she did not think anything of it until recently when Resident #13
was admitted to a different facility.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 12:39 PM with the ADMC revealed the process for receiving consent for the
admissions agreement was optimally done in person but if she was unable to get the resident to sign or see
the family in the facility then she received consent by a phone conversation. The ADMC recalled calling
phone number in chart for Resident #13 and spoke to a female to receive consent for admission on [DATE].
She stated the FM 2 name was on the face sheet from the hospital along with the phone number. She
stated she was unaware of any power of attorney at that time, as it was submitted later in the resident's
stay. The ADMC stated after she talked to the female individual on the phone,

she had assumed it was the FM 2 of the resident and placed her name in the electronic document. She
further stated the phone number for the FM 2 and the FM were the same, so she was unsure if she spoke
with the FM or the FM 2. She stated the system required 2 facility employees/witnesses to sign off on the
document since the family member was not able to sign in person. She stated after she received consent
for the admissions agreement, she signed off on it and sent it to the ABOM for his signature in the 2nd
witness area. When asked if the ABOM witnessed the call to verify who the conversation was with she
stated, he did not witness the conversation. The ADMC stated I think the system just wants 2 facility
representatives not necessarily a witness. That's just how the form is set up.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 2:47 PM with ABOM revealed he did not remember witnessing the conversation
with Resident #13's family member regarding the admission agreement. He stated the process for signing
the admission agreement was the ADMC talked to the family and gets verbal consent then the system
sends him a notification. He then reviewed the form and signed it. He stated he does not actually witness
any of the conversations between the family and the ADMC. The ABOM stated he was unsure of who the
ADMC talked to in order to receive consent for the admission agreement. He stated he did sign the form
even though he did not witness the conversation about the admission agreement. He stated this could
affect the residents if the situation did not fit the resident's needs. ( No further elaboration was given.)
Interview on 11/14/24 at 4:39 PM with ADM revealed his expectation for staff when obtaining consent for
admissions agreements was to utilize Docusign. Stated in many cases the responsible parties for the
residents are not local. His preference for obtaining consent was encourage the responsible party to come
to the facility and sign in person, but if they are unable to then consent must be made by other means. He
stated he expected staff to follow the policy.
Review of policy titled Documentation in Medical Record dated 10/24/22 stated:
Policy: Each resident's medical record shall contain an accurate representation of the actual experiences of

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to maintain an Infection Control Program
designed to ensure hand hygiene procedures were followed by staff in the direct care of 5 of 15 residents
(Resident #6, Resident #48, Resident #64, Resident #108, and Resident #292) reviewed for infection
control in that:
Residents Affected - Some
1.
CNA V did not sanitize or wash hands in between giving Resident # 48, Resident # 64 and Resident #108's
meal trays, placing residents at risk of getting sick from food contamination.
2.
CNA O failed to perform proper hand hygiene practices during peri care for Resident #6
3.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #292 received indwelling urinary catheter care to maintain his catheter
free of a moderate build-up of a dark brown colored substance.
This failure could place all residents at risk of getting sick and risk of transmission of diseases and infection.
The findings were:
1. Observation of lunch trays being passed on 11/12/2024 at 12:33pm revealed that CNA V did not wash or
sanitize her hands in between giving Resident # 48, Resident # 64 and Resident #108's meal tray. She was
observed getting Resident #48's meal trays and setting it up for him. She then got Resident #108's meal
tray and set his up for him. Finally, she got Resident #64's meal tray and set it up for her. CNA V did not
wash or sanitize her hands in between the meal trays.
An interview with CNA V on 11/14/2024 at 9:03am revealed she had been trained of infection control and
hand hygiene. She stated that staff were to wash or sanitize their hands in between each tray. She said for
every three sanitized hands the staff was supposed to wash with soap and water. She said that the nurse
was responsible for monitoring to ensure staff were following the policy for hand washing. She also said if
staff did not follow proper hand hygiene it could cause the resident's food to become contaminated. She
said that she did not sanitize or wash her hands in between the resident's trays because she forgot.
An interview with LVN B on 11/14/2024 at 9:09am revealed she had been trained on infection control. She
said the policy was for staff to use sanitizer in between each meal tray. She said staff were to wash their
hands before they started to pass the meal trays and then they could use hand sanitizer in between each
tray. She said that if staff do not use proper hand hygiene it could cause the resident's food to become
contaminated. She said the nurses were to monitor the aides to ensure they are performing proper hand
hygiene and for the nurses the DON monitors them. She said hand hygiene was monitored through
observation. She said she thought that the aide just forgot to wash or sanitize her hands.

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide the required 80 square
foot per resident in 5 of 5 resident rooms (room numbers 201, 404, 504, 2405, and 2505), reviewed for
environment.
The facility failed to provide 80 square feet per resident in 5 shared resident rooms.
This failure could affect residents who resided in the facility and could result in inadequate space for
resident's activities of daily living in their rooms.
Findings included:
During observations on 11/12/2024 during initial pool screening, rooms 201, 404, 504, 2405, and 2505
were observed to have three beds/three residents in the room. The beds were positioned parallel to each
other in a row with one bed near the door, one bed in the middle, and one bed next to the window. The
positioning of the beds allowed for Bed B, which was the middle bed, to have significantly smaller living
space than the other two beds in the room.
During an interview with the ADM on 11/12/2024 at 3:54 PM, the ADM stated he did not have any room
waivers nor room variations. The ADM stated this had not been an issue in the past and stated his Bed
Classification form allows 3 residents in rooms 201, 404, 504, 2405, and 2505. The ADM stated that he
measured one room, and it was 261 square feet, which would equal more than 80 square feet per resident.
During an observation on 11/13/2024 between 10:07 AM and 10:50 AM, the Maintenance Assistant
measured the five rooms with a digital laser measure.
Review of digital measurements revealed the square footage of 5 sampled room measurements were as
followed:
*201 - 254.31 (room total)
201A - 85.39
201B - 71.80

room waivers or variances, and she did not know the required square footage of resident's bedroom living
space until the surveyor told her. The DON stated having less than 80 sq feet could impair the resident's
ability to move around the room and get ADL care.
During an interview with the ADM on 11/14/2024 at 4:17 PM, the ADM stated he was not aware that some
resident's bedroom living space was less than 80 square feet. The ADM stated that if a resident complained
about the space, he would move the resident to a different room, which had happened in the past. The
ADM stated that some residents enjoyed the middle Bed B and did not complain.
Record review of the facility Bed Classification form dated 11/12/2024 revealed 5 resident rooms were
certified as rooms for 3 residents.
