Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to to ensure all residents had the right to formulate an
advance directive for three (Residents #30, #3, and #57) of 24 reviewed for advanced directives, in that:
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #30's OOH-DNR was completed correctly. The OOH-DNR form did
not have the physician's signature in the appropriate place.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #3''s OOH-DNR was completed correctly. The OOH-DNR form did
not hat the physician's signature in the appropriate place.
3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #57's OOH-DNR was completed correctly. The OOH-DNR form did
not have the signature for witness 2 in section E.
These failures could affect all residents who have implemented Advance Directives and established their
choice not to be resuscitated at risk of receiving CPR against their wishes.
The findings were:

Record review of Resident #57's physician order dated [DATE] reflected DNR uploaded under MISC
Advance Directive.
Record review of Resident #57's OOH-DNR form dated [DATE] revealed the form was signed by one of two
witnesses on [DATE] in Section E. The second witness failed to sign section E - Two Witnesses: We have
witnessed the above-noted competent adult person or authorized declarant making his/her signature above
and, if applicable, the above-noted adult person making an OOH-DNR by nonwritten communication to the
attending physician. The Physician, guardian and witnesses signed the All Persons section at the bottom of
the page where the statement All persons who have signed above must sign below, acknowledging that this
document has been properly completed.
In an interview on [DATE] at 9:46 AM, LVN D said that she checked the DNR orders in PCC under
miscellaneous. LVN D said if there was a code, she made sure the form was on PCC. She said without the
form the resident was a full code. LVN D said a completed form should have the MD signature, Resident/RP
signature, and witnesses' signatures. If any signature was missing on the form, the DNR was void and the
resident would be a full code. She said the negative effect would be performing CPR on someone who
didn't want it done.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:30 PM, LVN C said that she checked the DNR orders in PCC. LVN C said if
there was a code, she would ask for help since she was PRN and not fully familiar with all the residents
here. She said if there were no power, she knew that the Social Worker had a binder with hard copies. LVN
C said since the DNR was a legal document, it must be witnessed. She said if anything was missing then
the DNR would not be valid, but the Social Worker would ensure the form was completed for them. LVN C
said the nurse that took the intake was responsible for placing the code status in PCC. She said if the DNR
was not valid and the resident coded, they could be legally accountable for incorrect care they provide.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:07 PM, the DON said the DNR form was initiated by the SW. The DON said
even if they come from the hospital the facility wanted their own DNR forms. The SW ensured the forms
were filled out correctly. The DON said the SW does edit but does not know how thorough she was. Every
time they have care plans, they also ask the resident or family if they still want the code status of a DNR.
The DON said they followed the doctor's orders, and the doctor signed the telephone orders. The nurses
will follow the doctor's order so they would not look for the DNR form in the miscellaneous tab.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:31 PM LVN G said he would check the computer first, then he would ask the
ADON or the DON for the code status. LVN G said they have a DNR binder at the nurse's station so he
would look in the binder. If the power goes out, they will look in the binder for a resident's code status. If a
DNR form is missing a signature, he was trained that the form was not valid. If that occurred, he would call
the DON and she would give him guidance on what to do next.
In an interview on [DATE] at 2:45 PM RN I said the DNR is in PCC and there is an additional form uploaded
in PCC. There is a binder at the nurse's station with the DNR forms. If the resident is coding, they will look
for the miscellaneous tab in PCC to look at the form to check if it had all signatures and was signed by a
doctor. If a resident did not have the DNR form signed by a doctor the resident would be considered full
code.
In an interview on [DATE] at 3:00 PM, the SW said the Admissions Director would ask the resident or family
about DNR status. If the resident wanted to be a DNR, they would sign the form. The SW would

send the form to the doctor's office for his signature. Once the doctor signed the form, the doctor would
send the signed form to the facility. The Medical Records Clerk would make sure the form was signed
correctly. The NP would also ensure the forms were signed by the doctor. The SW or Medical Records
Clerk would upload the form onto PCC. The IDT would also review the code status with the resident or
family during the care plan meeting. The facility would keep a binder at the nurse's station, but they were
told by the corporate that the binder was not necessary because the facility was going paperless.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:35 PM, The Medical Records Clerk said she did not handle the DNR forms.
The SW did the DNR process. The SW would have the forms completed and would obtain the physician's
signature. The Medical Records Clerk said she only obtained the signatures for transportation and the
physician's orders. The Medical Records Clerk would place the folders at the front desk once the forms are
signed and the forms would be uploaded to PCC. Once uploaded to PCC the forms would be put in the
shred box.
In an interview on [DATE] at 4:40 PM, LVN/MDS J and said that the Social Worker is responsible for
informing resident/family about the DNR in admissions packet, ensuring it is completed by family and MD,
and uploading it into PCC under miscellaneous. He said that his job is just to ensure that it is care planned
once it is uploaded.
In an interview on [DATE] at 04:49 PM, the Administrator said the Social Services department was
responsible for completing the DNR forms for the resident or family at admission. The SW was responsible
to verify that the forms are signed correctly on the appropriate spaces. The Administrator said the SW
reviewed the DNR forms regularly.
Record review of the facility's policy subject titled, Advance Directives, revised [DATE], revealed Policy

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the resident's representative of a transfer or
discharge and the reasons for the move in writing and in a language and manner they understand and
failed to send a copy of the notice to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, for 1 Resident
(Resident #97) of 24 residents reviewed for hospitalizations.
The facility failed to send a written notice of a transfer to Resident #97's RP and to the Office of the State
Long-Term Care Ombudsman as soon as practicable after Resident #97 was transferred to the hospital.
These failures could place residents at risk of not having access to available advocacy services,
discharge/transfer options, and appeal processes.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #97's physician's orders revealed R#97 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE]. R#97's diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease (progressive disease that
destroys memory and other important mental functions), encephalopathy (a group of conditions that cause
brain dysfunction), pneumonia (an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs), Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar).
Record review of Resident #97's annual MDS assessment, dated 04/29/24, indicated Resident #97 had
clear speech, was usually understood by others, was usually able to understand others, and had moderate
cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #97's Progress Notes, dated 04/23/24 revealed:
Patient labs came back with critical potassium at 2.5, was sent out to micro hospital.
Record review of R#97's clinical record revealed no documentation that the Ombudsman or R#97's RP
were informed in writing that the resident was transferred to the hospital.
In an interview on 05/16/24 at 10:50 AM, the local Ombudsman revealed the facility was not sending
notices of discharges or transfers to her.
In an interview on 05/17/24 at 4:35 PM RN I said when a resident is sent to the hospital the nurse would
call the RP and provide information via telephone. RN, I said they do not give anything in writing to the RP.
In an interview on 05/17/24 at 5:55 PM the DON said the facility does not provide anything in writing to the
RP when they transfer a resident to the hospital.
In an interview on 05/17/24 at 6:05 PM, the BOM said she does not provide a copy of the Bed Hold Policy
when a resident is transferred to the hospital or anything in writing about why the resident was transferred.
The nurses do that.

Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the
resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide to the resident and the RP a written a notice of
bed-hold policy before, or at the time of transfer for 1 Resident (Resident #97) of four residents reviewed for
transfers.
The facility did not provide written information on the facility's bed-hold policies to Resident #97 or to his RP
when resident was sent to the hospital.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving a notice of the facility's bed hold policy
before/upon transfer and not having the necessary information to decide on whether to incur bed hold
payments and have the opportunity for the resident to return to the facility.

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
observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and time frames to meet a resident's
medical and nursing needs and describes the services to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's
highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #40),
reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #40's comprehensive care plan dated 04/17/2024 reflected she had
an order for O2 at 2 Lpm via N/C continuously.
These deficient practices could place residents in the facility at risk of not being provided with the
necessary care or services and no having personalized plans developed to address their specific needs.
The Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #40's face sheet dated 05/15/2024 revealed the resident was an [AGE]
year-old female with an admission date of 01/06/2024. Resident #40's relevant diagnoses included: chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe),
transient ischemic attack (a short period of symptoms like those of a stroke), and hypertension.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory
care was provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice for 2 of 6 residents
(Resident #40, and Resident #3) reviewed for oxygen in that:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident #40's oxygen was administered at 2.5 Lpm instead of 2.0 Lpm via nasal cannula as ordered by
physician.
2. Resident #3's oxygen was administered at 4 Lpm instead of 2 Lpm via nasal cannula as ordered by the
physician.
This failure could place residents who received oxygen at risk of developing respiratory complications and a
decreased qualify of care.
The findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #40's face sheet dated 05/15/2024 revealed the resident was an [AGE]
year-old female with an admission date of 01/06/2024. Resident #40's relevant diagnoses included: chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe),
transient ischemic attack (a short period of symptoms like those of a stroke), and hypertension.
Record review of Resident #40's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 12,
indicating Resident #40's cognition moderately impaired.

oxygenator and said it was set at 2.5 Lpm. She then checked Resident #40's order on PCC and said prior
to 05/15/2024 her O2 order was for her to receive 2.0 Lpm continuously via nasal cannula. LVN C said
effective 05/15/2024 Resident #40's oxygen order was to receive 2 Lpm PRN via nasal cannula. LVN C said
there were no negative effects to Resident #40 if she received 2.5 Lpm instead of 2.0 Lpm of oxygen.
An observation/interview on 05/15/2024 at 3:37 p.m., ADON was observed in Resident #40's room and
checked her oxygenator and said it was set at 2.5 Lpm. Resident #40 was not receiving O2 at time of

lower end of left tibia(left shin bone) , hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), basal cell carcinoma of skin of face
(type of skin cancer on the face), Alzheimer's, hypertension (high blood pressure), congestive heart
failure(the heart cannot pump enough blood), hemiplegia (one sided muscle paralysis or weakness),
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), peripheral vascular disease (reduced circulation of blood to a body part,
other than the brain or heart, due to a narrowed or blocked blood vessel).
Record review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected he scored a 00 on his
BIMS which signified he was severely cognitively impaired.
Record review of Resident #3's comprehensive person-centered care plan, date initiated 12/14/23 reflected
Focus Resident #3 has altered respiratory status/difficulty breathing r/t congestive heart failure. Goal: The
resident will have no s/sx of poor oxygen absorption through the review date. The resident will have no
complications related to SOB through the review date. Intervention: . Oxygen settings: Continuous oxygen
via nasal cannula at 2LPM every shift for SOB.
Record review of Resident #3's Physician Order, dated 1/26/24, reflected there was an order for oxygen
administration O2 via nasal cannula continuous at 2 L/Min every shift.
During an observation on 05/15/24 at 09:20am, Resident # 3 was lying in her bed with O2 via nasal
cannula. Resident #3 observed in no distress. Resident #3's oxygen was set at 4 L/min.

this morning around breakfast time and it was at 4L/min . She also checked Resident #3's O2 saturation
and stated it was good. LVN G stated she checks the resident's oxygen setting every shift. She stated the
negative outcome to keeping Resident #3's oxygen setting at 4L/min is that it would cause Resident #3 to
have more respiratory issues.
In an interview on 05/15/24 at 1:45pm the DON stated that the nurses are responsible for checking the O2
setting on the concentrator. She stated that the O2 setting should be checked every shift when they walk in
to make sure it is as prescribed. The DON stated that she has managers that do room rounds and are
instructed to check everything. She stated that some managers are not clinical staff so they might not be
checking everything. She stated the manager that does room rounds in Resident #3's room is the CS . The
DON stated that the nurses are provided training for oxygen administration upon hire. She is currently

building. The emergency water supply was in a room at the back of the building. There were approximately
100 5-[NAME] jugs on pallets. Surveyor was unable to count all the jugs because there were too many
boxes on top of the jugs along the back wall on the west side. Surveyor also observe an opened package of
blue plastic lids on top of one of the boxes. There were 36 water jugs on pallets alongside the wall by the
door and 4 jugs off the pallet. The rest of the jugs were toward the back wall of the building. There was dust

paper napkin around the opening of the jug and a rubber band around the paper. Surveyor observed three
jugs with dusty transparent plastic around the opening of the jugs and the cap over the plastic. The back
wall had two vent openings to the outside and no air conditioning.
In an interview on 05/17/24 at 10:23 AM, the Maintenance Supervisor said he checks the emergency water
supply every two months. The Maintenance Supervisor said the building does not have air conditioning, but
the weather has not been too hot, it's been around 85 degrees and the water bottles are not in direct
sunlight. The Maintenance Supervisor said he did not know that some of the jugs did not have caps. The

Supervisor would bring them to the kitchen for use and the Rehab department also uses the water. The
Dietary Manager said she didn't know what the Rehab department uses the water for. The Dietary Manager
said if they get notice of a hurricane or a notice that the water will be shut off, she and the staff will start
filling the large pots and pans with water.
