Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to reside and
receive services in the facility with reasonable accommodation of resident needs and preference for four
(Residents #254, #26, #66, #86) of fourteen residents reviewed for call light.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Residents #254, #26, #66, #86's call lights were within reach.
This failure could place residents at risk of being unable to obtain assistance when needed and help in the
event of an emergency.
Findings were:
1.Record Review of Resident #254's face sheet dated 7/31/2024 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses of Chronic Respiratory Failure, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (a chronic lung disease that causes air flow limitation), Encephalopathy (damage or
disease that affects the brain), Muscle Weakness, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 (kidneys have mild to
moderate damage, and they are less able to filter waste and fluid out of your blood), and Dementia.
Record Review of Resident #254's Care Plan revised 7/30/24 revealed Resident #254 was at risk for falls r/t
confusion, gait/balance problems. Intervention: Be sure the resident's call light is within reach and
encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed.
Record Review of Resident #254's BIMS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #254's score was
0.0. Resident #254 was severely cognitively impaired.
During an observation on 07/29/24 at 09:48 AM Resident #254 was lying in bed, alert, with the push button
call light cord wrapped on the right side rail towards the back end of the rail. Resident #254 attempted to
find and reach her call light using her left arm. Resident #254 stated she could not reach the call light.
During an interview with LVN A on 07/29/24 at 09:05 AM stated that all staff are responsible for placing the
call light within resident's reach. She stated it was important for the residents to have call lights within reach
so that they can call them for help. The negative outcome was it keeps the resident from falling out of the
bed by being able to call for assistance. The resident may not be feeling well and it may take long to have
her needs being met if she cannot reach the call light.
During an interview with CNA D on 07/29/24 at 09:55 AM, stated she normally checks that the call lights
are within the resident's reach every day. She has not done that this morning. She stated when

within resident's reach. She was assigned the first five rooms. She stated some residents tend to mess with
the call lights. She tries not to wrap them too much; she prefers to clip them. She stated that Resident #254
usually has family member with her during the day. CNA E stated that the resident should have the call light
within reach in case they need something. She rounds every two hours, but she got behind on her rounds
today. The negative outcome of the resident not having the call light within reach is that they can be
grasping for air, or may need to be changed, and repositioned but they are not able to call them.
During an interview with ADON on 07/29/24 at 10:10 AM, stated all staff are responsible for placing the call
light within the resident's reach. The negative outcome of resident not having the call light within reach was
that a resident can have an emergency or fall.
During an interview with DON on 07/31/24 at 4:04 PM, stated nurses, CNAs, and department heads do
rounds for quality-of-life. They are responsible for placing the call lights within the resident's reach. He
stated there is no negative outcome except customer service.
DON stated the facility has no Policy available for call lights on 7/31/24 at 3:30pm.

Observation on 07/31/24 at 10:07 AM revealed Resident #66 lying in bed with the call light clipped to the
bedcover within reach of resident.
Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 07/31/24 at 10:42 AM LVN F stated call lights should be within reach of residents. If the call

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had a safe, clean,
comfortable, and homelike environment for 1 of 27 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for homelike
environment.
The facility failed to fix a broken face plate covering an outlet, restore damaged walls, investigate a dark
substance on the ceiling, and fix a sharps container that was attached to the wall at a single point allowing
it to rotate freely.
These failures place residents at risk of experiencing a diminished quality of life potentially leading to
psychosocial harm.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #4's face sheet dated 07/29/2024 reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an
initial admission date of 10/17/2017 and a current admission date of 05/08/2023. Pertinent diagnoses
included Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms and schizoaffective
disorder (chronic mental illness causing symptoms of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder at the same
time).
Record review of Resident #4's MDS assessment section C, cognitive patterns, dated 06/01/2024 reflected
a BIMS score of 9 (moderate impairment).
In an attempted interview with Resident #4 on 07/29/2024 at 11:07 AM, Resident #4 was not responding to
questions. Subsequently, no interview information was obtained.
During an observation inside Resident #4's room at 07/30/24 at 8:30 AM, a sharps container was seen
hanging on the wall to the left immediately after walking in. The sharps container was attached to the wall
by a single point, allowing it to spin freely. Sharps could be heard inside moving around as the container
spun. Approximately 24 inches off the ground on the wall an outlet face plate had been cracked and pieces
broken off exposing a hole in the wall. Inside the hole a wire could be seen barely protruding out of the
hole. On the ceiling of the room closer to the window were dark colored streaks. The streaks were
approximately 5 feet long and when combined were approximately 12 inches wide. There were several
small holes in the walls. Part of the wall approximately 12 inches below the cracked face plate appeared to
be sloughing off.
In an interview with CNA C on 07/31/2024 at 2:29 PM, CNA C stated Resident #4's room is not a homelike
environment and that she would not want to live in a room with similar amounts of damage. CNA C stated
that she was not aware of the damage to the outlet face plate or the general damage to the walls. CNA C
stated she did not know what the dark stains were on the ceiling and that she did not know how long they
have been there.
In an interview with LVN E on 07/31/2024 at 2:42 PM, LVN E stated Resident #4's room looked raggedy.
LVN E stated that he did not think the room posed any harm to Resident #4 as long as the exposed wire
was not active. LVN E stated he has only been in Resident #4's room [ROOM NUMBER]-3 times before
now. LVN E stated the dark stains on the ceiling looked like water damage.

In an interview with MS on 07/31/2024 at 2:59 PM, MS stated that, prior to today, the last time he was in
Resident #4's room was to fix a plumbing issue in her bathroom a few weeks ago. MS stated that to
complete all of the work necessary to fix the walls and outlet face plate was approximately 3 hours not
including drying time. MS stated that he would not want to live in a room with the damage that was on the
walls. MS stated that the wire barely protruding out of the hole was an old phone line that had been
disconnected. MS stated that the wire did not pose any risk of electrocution. MS stated that the only danger
in the room was the jagged edges of the broken outlet face plate. MS stated that he was not sure what the
dark stains on the ceiling were, but that they looked like water damage. MS stated that he thought the
damage to the walls was from furniture moving around.
In an interview with the DON on 07/31/2024 at 3:15 PM, the DON stated that he went in Resident #4's
room daily. The DON stated that this morning was the first time he had noticed the damage to the outlet
face plate. The DON stated that there was a 2nd bed in the room covering that part of the wall that was
moved out of the room recently. The DON stated that it was possible that Resident #4 could have hurt
herself on the jagged edges of the broken outlet face plate. The DON stated that if he had similar damage
in his home then he would have fixed it. The DON stated that they have higher expectations for their facility
than what was presented in Resident #4's room. The DON stated that he removed the sharps container
from Resident #4's room and placed it in his office in the morning of 07/31/2024.
On 07/31/2024 at 4:01 PM, policies were requested from the DON and ADM covering the expectations for a
safe, homelike environment but none could be located.

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
interviews and record review, the facility failed to send a copy of the notice of transfer or discharge and the
reasons for the transfer or discharge in writing to the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman for
two (Resident #82 and Resident 93) of two residents reviewed for transfer and discharge.
The facility failed to send a transfer or discharge notice in writing to the facility's Ombudsman as soon as
practicable when Resident #82 was discharged home on 7/25/24.
The facility failed to send a transfer or discharge notice in writing to the facility's Ombudsman as soon as
practicable when Resident #93 was discharged to another facility on 5/11/24.
This failure could affect residents at the facility by placing them at risk of being discharged and not having
access to available advocacy services, discharge/transfer options, and the appeal processes.
Findings included:
1. Resident #82
Record Review of Resident #82's face sheet dated 7/31/2024 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female

discharge. The facility got a medical provider notice. She got a signed a NOMNC (a notice that indicates
when Medicare coverage is about to end). She stated this medical provider sends them these notices for all
WellMed patients. It tells her when the residents last day of therapy will be. This information was provided to
Resident #82 and the resident's responsible party. She stated they both received a copy of the medical
provider NOMNC, and both were made aware of Resident #82 was going to be discharged on 7/25/24. She
was not aware that she needed to notify the Ombudsmen. She stated she did not notify Ombudsmen but
will from here on out.
2. Resident #93
Record review of Resident #93's face sheet dated 7/30/24 reflected a [AGE] year-old male with an original
admission date of 5/9/24. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction (type of stroke that occurs when a blood
vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked) and diabetes type two (insufficient insulin production in
the body). There was no discharge notice reviewed.
In an interview on 07/30/24 at 03:02 PM the SW stated Resident #93 was discharged to another facility due
to resident needed to be in a memory care unit since Resident #93 was exit seeking. The SW stated the
doctor made the referral for Resident #93 to be discharged to a memory unit. The SW sated a referral was
discussed with Resident #93's family and the family agreed to the transfer. The SW stated she was not sure
if a written notice was done and provided to Resident #93, Resident #93's

and notifying residents, resident's family, and the local Ombudsman.
In an interview on 07/31/24 at 09:30 AM the SW stated she felt the discharge process the facility conducted
was appropriate due to Resident #93 was being immediately discharged because the family was in
agreeance and the facility spoke with the other facility and they accepted Resident #93. The SW She stated

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 that residents who needed respiratory
care were provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for 5 of 6 (Resident #12, Resident #7,
Resident#254, Resident#396, and Resident #36) residents reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #12 had the required emergency supplies at bedside including a
suction machine, supply of suction catheters, sterile gloves and flush solution on 07/30/2024 at 10:08 AM.
2.The facility failed to ensure Resident #7's oxygen tubing was connected to the concentrator and the
oxygen was administered at the correct setting of 2 liters per minute on Resident #7's oxygen concentrator
was set at 3 liters per minute 7/29/24 at 9:05 AM.
3.The facility failed to ensure Resident #254's had the oxygen sign posted outside his room entrance door
on 7/29/24 at 8:40 AM.
4.The facility failed to ensure Resident #254's oxygen was administered at the correct setting of 2 liters per
minute on 7/29/24 at 8:40 AM.
5.The facility failed to ensure Resident #396's oxygen was administered at the correct setting of 3 liters per
minute on 7/29/24 at 9:30 AM.
6.The facility failed to ensure Resident #36's oxygen was administered at the correct setting of 3 as per
physician order and received oxygen at 2.5L/min.
This failure places residents who receive respiratory care at an increased risk of danger in a respiratory
emergency due to a longer response time and at risk of developing respiratory complications, and a
decreased quality of care.
The findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #12's face sheet dated 07/30/2024 reflected a [AGE] year-old male with an
initial admission date of 10/22/2012 and a current admission date of 06/16/2020. Pertinent diagnoses
included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (chronic inflammatory lung disease that makes it difficult
to breathe) and Tracheostomy Status.
Record review of Resident #12's annual MDS assessment section C, cognitive patterns, dated 06/04/2024
reflected a BIMS score of 15 (cognition intact). MDS assessment section O, Special Treatments,
Procedures and Programs, reflected tracheostomy care has been performed while a resident of the facility
within the last 14 days.
Record review of Resident #12's order summary report revealed an active order stating Trach care to
include changing disposable inner cannula every Tuesday and Saturday (patient will do himself). Inner
cannula size #8. Trach tube size 8. Resident does own trach care. Resident #12 had no active orders for
emergency respiratory equipment.

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #12's care plan dated 06/21/2024 revealed there were no interventions
mentioning keeping a suction machine, supply of suction catheters, sterile gloves and flush solution
available at bedside in the case of a respiratory emergency.
In an interview with Resident #12 on 07/30/2024 at 10:08 AM, Resident #12 stated that he takes care of his
own tracheostomy. Resident #12 stated that the nurses assist him sometimes if he needs help. Resident
#12 stated that he did not know if there were emergency supplies in his room incase he developed a
respiratory emergency.
During an observation of Resident #12's room on 07/30/2024 at 10:08 AM, no suction machine, supply of
suction catheters, sterile gloves or flush solution could be located.
In an interview with CNA B on 07/30/2024 at 3:52 PM, CNA B stated that in a respiratory emergency
involving a tracheostomy she would make sure the resident's head was elevated and then go and get the
nurse to let them know there was an emergency. Afterwards, CNA B stated she would assist the nurse with
whatever they needed in caring for the resident.
In an interview with LVN C on 07/30/2024 at 3:55 PM, LVN C stated that in a respiratory emergency
involving a tracheostomy she would assess the air way and use a suction as needed to clear the airway.
LVN C stated that Resident #12 handles his self-care for the most part. LVN C stated that Resident #12 is a
full-code (medical directive that indicates a patient's wish for life saving measures in case of emergency) so
she would bring the crash cart (wheeled container carrying medicine and equipment for use in emergency
resuscitations) in as needed. LVN C stated she was unable to locate a suction machine, supply of suction
catheters, sterile gloves or flush solution inside Resident #12's room. LVN C stated that she would have had
to go get the crash cart during a respiratory emergency for Resident #12 to obtain the necessary supplies.
LVN C stated that Resident #12 would receive care much quicker if the emergency supplies were by his
bedside. LVN C stated that the nurses taking care of Resident #12 would be responsible for making sure
the emergency supplies were in the room.
During an observation of the crash cart on 7/30/2024 at 4:08 PM, a suction machine, supply of suction
catheters, sterile gloves and flush solution were available on the cart. The cart was located at the entrance
to the 100 hall, approximately 54 steps away from Resident #12's door.
In an interview with the DON on 07/31/2024 at 3:15 PM, the DON stated the purpose of keeping
emergency equipment by a resident with a tracheostomy is to provide a quick response time to the resident
when they are experiencing a respiratory emergency. The DON stated that a resident could have worse
outcomes with the emergency equipment not being in the room because it would take longer before
emergency care could begin. The DON stated that it was the DON's responsibility to ensure emergency
equipment was available in the room.
2.Record Review of Resident #7's face sheet dated 7/30/2024 indicated she was a [AGE] year old female
initially admitted on [DATE], with the diagnoses of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (a common lung
disease causing restrictive airflow and breathing problems), Hypothyroidism (a condition in which the
thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone), Hypertension (a condition in which the force of
the blood against the artery walls is too high), Hypomagnesemia (an electrolyte disturbance caused by low
levels of magnesium in the blood).
Record Review of Resident #7's comprehensive care plan dated 4/29/24 indicated Resident #7 has oxygen
therapy related to ineffective gas exchange Diagnoses Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary D isease

revealed there was not a sign indicating oxygen in use/no smoking.
During an interview with LVN A on 07/29/24 at 9:05 AM revealed she was Resident #7's and Resident
#254's nurse. She stated she was responsible for checking the oxygen setting on the oxygen concentrator.
She stated she usually checked every shift, but she has not checked Resident #7 or Resident #254. She
was not aware Resident #7 was not receiving oxygen until told by the surveyor. It is important to check if the
tubing was connected to the concentrator because if it was not connected the resident is not receiving
oxygen. Resident #7's oxygen setting was at 3 liters per minute and physician order written for 2 liters per
minute continuous. LVN A stated a negative outcome can be cyanosis (bluish or grayish color of the skin,
nails, lips, or around the eyes), and the resident will not be well oxygenated. LVN A stated that Resident
#7's oxygen level was low and that she was going to contact the physician to make them aware about the
incident. LVN A stated she cannot recall about respiratory in-service or training.

HYPOXIA Date Initiated: 07/30/2024 Revision on: 07/30/2024
Record review of Resident #396's July 2024 physician's orders indicated OXYGEN at 3 liters per minute via
Nasal cannula every shift continuously for to relieve signs and symptoms of hypoxia related to Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
During an observation of Resident's #396 on 7/29/24 at 9:30am, her oxygen concentrator setting was at 5
Liters per minute via nasal cannula.
During an observation of Resident #396 on 7/31/24 at 10:08am her oxygen concentrator setting was at 2.5
liters per minute via nasal cannula. LVN B verified setting at 2.5 liters per minute and stated that she had
just been in resident's room, and it was at the correct setting. At this time LVN B was observed to adjust the
concentrator setting at 3 liters per minute.
During an interview with LVN B on 7/31/24 at 9:50 AM she stated the nurses are responsible to check
oxygen tubing and settings once per shift. She stated she checked them this morning already except for
one resident. She makes sure that the tubing was within date, oxygen level was correct and that there was
water on concentrator for residents who are on continuous. She reconciled the physician order with the
settings. LVN B said the CNAs are their extra eyes and ears so they would tell her if something was wrong
with the resident or if the tubing was disconnected. LVN B said in December she had a skill check off on
Respiratory care and it included how to use equipment. She said a negative outcome if the setting is low is
that a resident can have hypoxia or if too high, LVN B stated the negative outcome will be that residents can
be send out to the emergency room for evaluation. Skill check offs for oxygen use were done when she got
hired. It was basically showing that they are competent on how to use equipment and check oxygen. LVN B
stated the nurses are responsible for the oxygen signage on the outside of the room. If someone does not
know the resident, they do not know where to look or how to identify the resident's needs for oxygen and it
can cause a fire for example. The oxygen sign was an extra identifier.
During an interview with the ADON on 07/29/24 at 10:10 AM she stated that all staff are responsible for
placing the oxygen sign outside the room. She stated that Resident #254 was previously on isolation. She
was then moved, and the sign did not get moved with her. She stated that all staff are responsible for
checking the oxygen when they do their rounds. This includes changing the oxygen tubing.
During an interview with the ADON on 7/31/24 at 09:37 AM she stated the nurses are the ones responsible
for checking the settings on the concentrators every shift or periodically. The nurses are responsible to put
the orders in the system. The negative outcome was over oxygenation or hypoxia, and the last skills check
offs were done last December and they are done annually. The ADON said the nurse was responsible to
check if tubing is connected appropriately and if a CNA sees it, they have to let the nurse know. If a resident
was not receiving the oxygenation the negative outcome can be respiratory distress.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including
procedures that assure the accurate dispensing and administering of all drugs and biologicals to meet the
needs of each resident for one glucometer (Hall 100 Glucometer check log) of three glucometers reviewed
for proper calibration.
The facility failed to ensure the 100 hall glucometer was calibrated daily for accuracy of reading on 10
separate days in July 2024.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving accurate blood glucose measurements to assure
reliable results and treatment.
The findings included:
Record review of the 100 hall glucometer log dated July 2024 reflected no entries to indicate calibration
was performed on the following days: 07/02/24, 07/03/24, 07/10/24, 07/11/24, 07/12/24, 07/13/24,
07/16/24, 07/25/24, 07/26/24, 07/30/24.
Interview with LVN F on 07/31/24 at 9:55 AM revealed she said glucometer calibrations were performed by
the night shift nurse every night. LVN F said she had not checked or noticed that the 100 hall glucometer
was not calibrated because she assumed the night shift had done it. LVN F said had she known that the
calibration was not done, she would have done one before using the glucometer machine. LVN F said it was
important to calibrate the glucometer machines to ensure accuracy of readings.
Interview with the DON on 07/31/24 at 10:00 AM revealed he stated the glucometer checks are to be done
each shift. The DON said calibration of the glucometer checks are the responsibility of the nurses. The DON
said the nurse were to check the log for completion of calibration at the beginning of each shift. The DON
said he had not reviewed the glucometer logs for completion and did not know the calibration of the
glucometer was not being performed consistently, and I need to be more aware of the logs. The DON said
the purpose of glucometer calibration was to receive accurate readings and appropriate treatment. The
DON said an inaccurate reading could place the resident at risk for inaccurate treatment. The DON said he
did not know if the facility had a policy and procedure regarding glucometer calibrations.
Subsequent interview with the DON on 07/31/24 at 1:35 PM, the DON stated there was no policy that
addressed calibration of the glucometers.

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
observations, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain clinical records in accordance with
accepted professional standards and practices that are complete and accurately documented for 1 of 3
residents (Resident #36 ) reviewed for medication administration.
Resident #36's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Treatment Administration Record (TAR)
reflected the administration of oxygen was not accurately documented, the order was not reconciliated or
recorded and administration of oxygen was completed and not accurately documented.
The deficient practice placed resident #36 and 2 additional residents who receive medications from facility
staff at risk for less than therapeutic benefits, and/or not receiving ordered medications/treatments due to
inaccurate documentation.
The findings included:
Record Review of Order Summary for Resident #36 dated 07/30/24 reflected the last order review was
04/19/24 and there is no active order for oxygen on resident profile.
Record review of the admission record for Resident #36 reflected Resident #36 was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE], was a [AGE] year-old female with diagnoses that included Chronic respiratory failure,
Hypercapnia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes
obstructed airflow from the lungs), iron deficiency anemia(a condition in which blood lacks adequate
healthy red blood cells.), sleep apnea(sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts) and

Observation on 07/29/24 at 09:04 AM revealed Resident #36 was observed in bed with oxygen via NC at
2.5L/min.
Interview on 07/30/24 at 02:02 PM with Resident #36, she stated that she had always had oxygen on since
return from hospital and prior to going to hospital. It was observed that resident# 36 had oxygen via NC at
2.5L/min.
Interview on 07/30/24 at 02:02 PM with CNA A, stated she thought Resident #36's oxygen wass usually at
3L.
Interview on 07/30/24 at 02:11 PM with LVN B without reviewing chart stated Resident #36 was on oxygen
at 3L via NC. When asked for order LVN B could not find an order for oxygen for Resident #36. LVN B
stated that there should have been an order for Resident #36's oxygen, and it must have been overlooked.
LVN B stated that order should have been on there, if O2 was on prior orders. LVN stated that when a
resident returned from the hospital they call the doctor, reconcile orders with the physician or fax orders.
LVN B stated that a negative outcome for giving a treatment without an order for Resident #36 could be
shortness of breath. LVN B stated that MDS Nurse reviews resident orders for interventions residents are
receiving and accuracy.
Interview on 07/30/24 at 02:56 PM with MDS Nurse, she stated that she pulled out orders for care plans or
orders are discussed during morning meetings with IDT made up of morning floor nurse, ADON, DON,
Rehabilitation, Social Worker, MDS nurse, Dietary and Administrator; however, if order wass not written
then the IDT will not be aware of it but should have been noted during rounds but for Resident #36 they
must have not caught it. MDS nurse questioned if she care planned it and checked and stated she did care
plan it but must have went by Resident #36's primary diagnosis and not reviewed the orders. MDS nurse
stated that if something was care planned then there should be an order. MDS nurse stated that in
Resident #36's case if they had a history and go to the hospital for COPD , respiratory failure and with O2
on, when they come back it is a continuation of care, and yes there should be an order. MDS nurse stated
that if no order staff should question and should renew as per physician orders. MDS nurse stated for
Resident #36 there would be no negative outcome because the major diagnosis is COPD, but that nurses
should flag and verify orders for residents that are on oxygen. MDS nurse stated that anything on a patient
even if a Band-Aid, requires a physician order because there can be negative outcomes in any situation if
treatment is given with no order.
Interview on 07/30/24 at 03:34 PM DON stated that resident orders are reconciled on admission when they
come. DON stated that there wass nursing discretion for applying oxygen and then notifying the physician
and then write the order later like within 24 hours. or late entry, but as soon as possible. DON stated that
there was an order because the hospital order stated oxygen. DON stated that the procedure for
transferring hospital orders to facility orders was, the nurse reviews hospital orders and notifies the MD, and
the MD will continue hospital orders until he reviews or discontinues orders. DON stated that he and ADON
review new orders, new admits, with floor nurse as part of morning meeting. DON stated that the order
most likely was not reactivated because it was ordered before, but he stated again there was a hospital
order. DON stated that upon Resident #36's return on 7/18/24 the facility should have inputted orders that
day. DON stated they would have reviewed Resident #36's admission and orders the next day but obviously
they had a break in chain of process to ensure there was an order. DON stated there was no negative
impact to Resident #36 because she was on oxygen, and she is cognitively able to inform her needs. The
order for oxygen for Resident #36 despite audits and rounds was missed and slipped by .

Interview on 07/31/24 at 10:44 AM with LVN F stated she started the admission for Resident # 36 on
07/18/24 but did not finish because another nurse relieved her since patient arrived during shift change and
then she was off and did not return until 3 days later. LVN F stated that she had reviewed the chart upon
her return but missed that there was no oxygen order because she did look through the orders to make the
appointments necessary for Resident #36. LVN F stated that she missed the order was not entered
because Resident #36 has been on oxygen continuously at the same rate before, and hospital report also
stated that she was at same rate of oxygen. LVN F assumed there was a facility order for oxygen and no
treatment should be given without an order. If a medication that is not ordered is given there could be a
negative outcome .
Record Review of Order Summary and order details on 07/30/24 after staff interviews, noted physician
order with start date 07/30/24 at 15:41 (3:41pm) Oxygen @ 3 L/pm via NC continuous to relieve s/s of
hypoxia r/t COPD was noted in resident #36's point click care (electronic health record) profile.
Observation on 07/30/24 at 03:54 PM revealed Resident #36 was observed in bed with oxygen via NC still
set at 2.5L/min.
Observation on 07/31/24 at 10:18 AM revealed Resident #36 was observed in bed with oxygen via NC at
3L/min.
Record Review of the facility's oxygen administration policy dated October 2010, reflected Oxygen therapy
is administered by way of an oxygen nasal cannula, and/or nasal catheter. The nasal cannula is a tube that
is placed approximately one-half inch into the resident's nose. It is held in place by an elastic band placed
around the resident's head. Check the tubing connected to the oxygen cylinder to assure that it is free of
kinks. Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure. Review the physician's orders or facility
protocol for oxygen administration.

In an interview on 07/31/24 at 08:42 AM LVN D stated it was important to wash hands appropriately as to
clean hands and to prevent the spread of infections to residents. LVN D sated she thought she counted to
20 seconds while lathering hands but thought she may have counted too fast. LVN D stated she was
nervous and could not remember when the last handwashing in-service was conducted as she usually
works nights and could have missed the in-services that were provided.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 07/31/24 10:44 AM the DON sated all staff are expected to wash hands for 20 seconds
or greater between glove changes and after removing gloves as it is part of the infection prevention
process. The DON stated the wound care nurse should have lathered her hands for the allotted time of 20
seconds or greater. The DON stated by not washing hands as per CDC guidelines it could cause cross
contamination and the goal of the facility is to stop the spread of germs and infections. The DON stated he
could not recall when the last in-service was, but in-services are done annually and as needed. The DON
stated an in-service on hand hygiene was going to be conducted immediately.
Record review of facility's Handwashing/Hand Hygiene policy dated revised 08/2019 documented: The
facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infections .
-Use an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 62% alcohol; or, alternatively, soap (antimicrobial or
non-antimicrobial) and water for the following situations:
b. Before and after direct contact with residents
d. Before performing any non-surgical invasive procedures
g. Before handling clean or soiled dressings, gauze pads, etc.
j. After contact with blood or bodily fluids
k. After handling used dressings, contaminated equipment, etc.
m. After removing gloves.
www. cdc.gov guidelines states:
Washing your hands is easy, and it's one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs. Follow
these five steps every time.
Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your
fingers, and under your nails.
Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the Happy Birthday song from beginning to
end twice.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation and interview the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable
environment for 1 of 3 halls (Hall 200) reviewed for environment.
1) The facility failed to keep the soiled linen utility closet containing dirty linens locked when not in use.
2) The facility failed to keep the oxygen storage room containing empty and full oxygen canisters locked
when not in use.
3) the facility failed to keep the central supply storage room containing approximately 40 individual shaving
razors locked when not in use.
These failures could result in injury for residents who come into contact with sharp implements or
hazardous materials.
The findings included:
During an observation on 07/29/2024 at 10:53 AM, the soiled linen utility closet on hall 200 across from
resident room [ROOM NUMBER] was noted to be partially ajar. The sign on the door read Authorized
Personnel Only. Inside the room was soiled linens and trash.
During an observation on 07/29/2024 at 3:03 PM, the oxygen storage room and central supply storage
rooms at the end of hall 200 were unlocked. The signs on the oxygen storage room read Danger
Flammable Gas and Danger Gas Cylinder Storage Area. Inside the oxygen storage room were
approximately 50 oxygen canisters in racks. Half of them were in the section labeled O2 full and the other
half were in the section labeled O2 empty. The door to central supply storage room had a locking
mechanism with buttons for input, but the door could be opened without inputting any combination. Inside
the central supply storage room were various hygiene supplies, including approximately 40 individual
shaving razors in a basket on a shelf.
In an interview with CNA C on 07/31/2024 at 2:29 PM, CNA C stated that the locking mechanism on the
door to the central supply storage room stopped working about a year ago. CNA C stated that she was not
certain if the oxygen room had ever been locked because she had never been in that room. CNA C stated
that she had never seen a resident by the storage rooms at the end of hall 200. CNA C stated that she did
not think any residents on the 200 hall would grab a razor in the central supply storage room and hurt
themselves or others. CNA C stated that she was not sure whether or not the oxygen storage room should
be locked, but that the central supply storage room should probably be locked. CNA C stated that it should
be the responsibility of whoever stocks the supply rooms to inform the DON or administrator that the doors
are unlocked.
In an interview with LVN E on 07/31/2024 at 2:42 PM, LVN E stated that the oxygen storage room is usually
locked at other facilities he has worked. LVN E stated that it was possible for a resident to go into the central
supply storage room, grab a razor, and then hurt themselves or others. LVN E stated that if a resident
walked into the central supply storage room and fell it could take a while before anyone would notice that
the resident had fallen and injured themselves.

In an interview with the DON on 07/31/2024 at 3:15 PM, the DON stated whether or not storage rooms
should be locked depends on what is being stored. The DON stated that the soiled linens closet should be
secured when not in use. The DON stated that he was fine with the oxygen supply room being unlocked
because they are in racks. The DON stated that he was fine with the central supply door being unlocked as
long as nothing dangerous was in there. The DON stated that shaving razors do not belong in the central
supply storage room at the end of hall 200. The DON stated that there was potential for residents to harm
themselves or others with the razors in the room. The DON stated that it was possible, but not likely, that a
resident could go into the central supply storage room and fall causing them to injure themselves.
On 07/31/2024 at 4:01 PM, a policy was requested from the DON and ADM covering the expectations for a
safe, homelike environment but none could be located.

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain an effective pest control
program so that the facility was free of pests in one of one kitchen reviewed for pests.
Residents Affected - Some
1. There were multiple live flies and gnats in the kitchen.
2. There were multiple live flies in the dining room.
These failures could put residents who consumed food from the kitchen and who ate in the dining room at
risk for infection and/or food contamination.
The findings included:
Observation of the facility's kitchen dry storage area on 07/29/24 at 09:10am revealed 2 flies and
approimately 10 gnats that were flying around in the area.
Observation of the facility's kitchen food preparation and cooking area on 07/29/24 at 09:45am revealed
multiple flies were flying around in the kitchen area and had landed on multiple food preparation surfaces.
Observation on 07/29/24 at 11:45am of the facility's dining room revealed multiple flies in the dining room.
One resident was noted to have a fly swatter on the dining room table that she was sitting at.
In an interview on 07/30/24 at 1:43pm, the DM stated that they had ordered and received an air curtain for
the dining room door to help keep the flies and gnats outside and they were waiting on an electrician to fix
the electrical issue so that it could be installed. The DM stated the electrician should be out next week.
In an interview on 07/31/24 at 10:36am, the ADM stated that the MS was out of the facility to get foggers to
spray outside. The ADM stated they would be spraying outside at least weekly during peak seasons to help
control the flies. The ADM stated the MS was also looking for fly traps for the kitchen. The ADM stated pest
control was contracted for 2 times a month; one time to spray the inside and the next time outside, but that
they could call them anytime to come in for additional treatment if needed. The ADM stated that pest control
should be coming out today (07/31/24).
In an interview on 07/31/24 at 11:24am, MS stated pest control came out 2 times a month and as needed.
MS stated pest control had been out on 7/25/24 and 7/20/24. MS stated pest control should be out by about
1:00 pm today and that he was going to discuss how to control the flies in the facility and what
recommendations or remedies the pest control company had.
Record review of the facility's pest control request log on 7/31/24 at 10:50am revealed 13 entries dated
6/26/24 through 7/29/24. 12 of 13 entries were related to roaches and 1 of 13 entries was related to ants.
There were no entries related to flies or gnats for any area of the facility.
Record review of the facility's pest control invoices on 7/31/24 at 11:26am revealed the pest control
company had been out on 7/20/24 and 7/25/24 and had treated for roaches and ants, but there was no
mention of treating for flies inside or outside the facility.
