What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of any significant medication errors for 1 of 7 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for medication errors. On 07/24/25 LVN A administered 8 units of insulin outside of parameters (hold for BG less than 100). LVN B noted a change of condition for Resident #1 on 07/24/25. She was unable to rouse, clammy, and lethargic and only responded to painful stimuli. Resident #1 was admitted to hospital for hypoglycemia. The facility did not identify this significant medication error. An IJ was identified on 07/29/25. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 1:18 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 07/30/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy, due to the facility's need to implement corrective systems. These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of the medications, worsening or exacerbation of chronic medical conditions, hospitalization, and death.Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 07/30/25 indicated she was a [AGE] year old female, admitted on [DATE], and her diagnoses included cerebral infarction (stroke) and Type II diabetes (the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas fails to produce insulin). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated she was rarely able to make herself understood, sometimes understood others, and had severe impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident #1 received insulin injection for 6 of 7 days. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 02/17/25 (revised 07/29/25) indicated Resident #1 had diabetes. On 07/24/25 Resident #1 responded to painful stimuli only, blood sugar was 46 and she was sent to ER and admitted . Interventions dated 02/17/25 included check glucose before meals and call if above 350 and diabetes medications as ordered by physician. Monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness. Monitor/document/report PRN any ss/sx of hypoglycemia. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders dated 06/24/25 indicated Insulin Aspart Injection Solution (fast acting insulin) 100 unit/ml inject 8 units subcutaneously with meals for DM2. Hold for BG <100. Record review of Resident #1's MAR dated 07/24/25 at 5:00 p.m. indicated LVN A administered 8 units of Insulin Aspart Injection Solution. The MAR indicated hold for BG less than 100. LVN A noted Resident #1's BG was 99. Record review of Resident #1's progress nurse note dated 07/24/25 at 7:37 p.m., completed by LVN B indicated Resident #1 responded to painful stimuli only, blood sugar 46 and has worsened. Physician and RP notified. Record review of Change of Condition Form dated 07/25/25 at 12:00 a.m., completed by LVN B indicated LVN B noticed Resident #1 appeared sleeping during medication pass. Resident #1 was unable to maintain proper body posture. Blood sugar was 46. Administered Baqsimi (dry nasal spray used to treat severe hypoglycemia). in left nostril and called emergency services. Physician and RP notified. Resident #1 was transferred to hospital. Record review of Resident #1's progress nurse note dated 07/25/25 at 9:15 a.m., completed by LVN H, indicated Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital and her admitting diagnosis was Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0760 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few hypoglycemia (low blood sugar-level). Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 07/25/25 indicated Resident #1 presented to the emergency department via EMS with complaints of hypoglycemia. Staff reported Resident #1 had a glucose of 99 and facility administered 8 units of insulin causing Resident #1 glucose to drop to 25. EMS administered 250 ml of D10 (dextrose/sugar), raised glucose to 169. Resident remained responsive to painful stimuli only. Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 07/26/25 Blood glucose earlier this a.m. was 58. Continue to monitor glucose and hold diabetic medications and insulin. Record review of Resident #1's hospital records dated 07/27/25 indicated hypoglycemia was resolved. Discharge plan for tomorrow. Record review of Resident #1's progress nurse noted dated 07/28/25 at 5:37 p.m., completed by LVN J indicated Resident #1 was readmitted to the facility in stable condition. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 10:50 a.m., the DON said she was not aware LVN A administrated Resident #1's insulin outside of parameters on 07/24/25. She said she was aware the physician was notified of Resident #1's change of condition and transport to hospital for evaluation and treatment. She said she reviewed Resident #1's clinical record for a change of condition but did not investigate the possible reasons for hypoglycemia. She said it was her expectation LVN A would have held Resident #1's insulin on 07/24/25 due to the BG being out of parameters. She said the risk for Resident #1 receiving insulin out of parameters were hypoglycemia leading to coma and possible death. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 11:18 p.m., LVN A said she must have made a mistake on 07/24/25 when she administered Resident #1's insulin outside of parameters. She said she did not recall if Resident #1 ate her supper meal. She could not recall if she gave Resident #1 a supplement. She said she did not recall if staff reported a change of condition. She said she left the facility at 6:00 p.m. on 07/24/25 after working a 4 hour shift. She said she was not aware Resident #1 had a change of condition, became unresponsive, or was sent to the hospital for evaluation and treatment for hypoglycemia. She said she was aware of the proper medication administration procedures. She said the risk for Resident #1 receiving insulin out of parameters were hypoglycemia leading to coma and possible death. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 1:27 p.m., the DON said she did not know why LVN A administered insulin outside of parameters on 07/24/25 was missed as a med error. She said she missed that LVN A documented Resident #1's BG at 99 and the parameters indicated to hold if BG was less than 100. She said it was an oversight. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 2:28 p.m., CNA C said Resident #1 was sleeping in her wheelchair after the supper meal. She said Resident #1 would not wake up so she could transfer her to bed. She said she called for LVN B to come and assist. She said LVN B could not wake Resident #1 and called for another nurse and ambulance. She said she was trained on recognizing the signs of diabetes and hypoglycemia and figured something was wrong with Resident #1 when she could not wake her up to get ready for bed. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 3:30 p.m., CNA D said Resident #1 was awake when she gave her supper tray on 07/24/25. She said Resident #1 did not eat her supper meal. She said she advised LVN A Resident #1 did not eat her meal. She said she believed LVN A gave Resident #1 a supplement. She said she moved Resident #1 closer to her room to get ready for bed. She said CNA C was getting Resident #1 ready for bed and couldn't wake her up. I thought she was deep sleeping because she was snoring loud. She said CNA C and LVN B could not wake Resident #1 so they called for the crash cart and EMS. She said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital because her BG had dropped. She said she was trained to call for the nurse immediately if a resident was unresponsive or the residents were not at their normal. During an observation on 07/29/25 at 3:37 p.m., Resident #1 was lying in bed. She pulled the blanket over her face and did not respond to questions from the surveyor. During an interview on 07/29/25 at 5:05 p.m., LVN B said she arrived for her shift on 07/24/25 at 6:00 p.m. She said LVN A did not report Resident (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455757 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 6 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 455757 B.

She said giving insulin when not following parameters was dangerous. She said administering insulin outside of parameters could lead to hypoglycemia, coma, and death. During an observation on 07/30/25 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #1 was sitting in her wheelchair in the common area watching TV. She did not respond to questions from the surveyor. She displayed no signs of anxiety or agitation. During an interview on 07/30/25 at 9:33 a.m. NP D said she was aware Resident #1 was transferred to hospital on [DATE] for change of condition. She said if Resident #1's BG was 99, LVN A should have held the insulin due to the BG being out of parameters. She said Resident #1's BG usually ran high. She said giving insulin when not following parameters was dangerous. She said administering insulin outside of parameters could lead to hypoglycemia, coma, and death. Review of the facility's Medication Administration policy dated 10/24/22, indicated Medications are administered by licensed nurses, or other staff who are legally authorized to do so in this state, as ordered by the physician and in accordance with professional standards of practice, in a manner to prevent contamination or infection.
