Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately inform the resident's physician and notify,
consistent with his or her authority, notify a resident's representative when there was an accident involving
the resident when there was a significant change in resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status for 1
of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for notification of changes in that:
The facility failed to promptly notify Resident #1's physician and Resident #1's responsible party when
Resident #1 exhibited right-sided facial drooping and edema and coolness to both hands on 4/20/24.
These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 4/24/24 at 5:23 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on 4/26/24 the facility remained out of compliance at a level of potential harm with a scope
identified as isolated until interventions were put in place to ensure prompt notification of a resident's
physician and responsible party.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not having their RP or physician informed when there
is a change in condition resulting in a delay in medical intervention and decline in health.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 4/23/24, revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease [a progressive disease that affects memory and other
important mental functions], late onset, muscle wasting and atrophy [shrinking of muscle or nerve tissue],
not elsewhere classified, multiple sites, weakness, and hypertensive heart [heart problems caused by high
blood pressure] and chronic kidney disease without heart failure, with stage 1 through stage 4 chronic
kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease.
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #1 did not have a BIMs
score because Resident #1 was rarely/never understood.
Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes revealed no progress notes for 4/20/24. There were
the following nursing progress notes beginning 4/21/24:
- Nursing progress note dated 4/21/24 and written by LVN A: Resident noted to having edema to right hand
with coldness to touch more than left hand. [R]ight facial side drooping . [NP B] informed. Ordered venous
doppler [an imaging test to check for blood flow] to [right upper extremity.]

the right side. NP B stated, I said, well, [Resident #1's] had right-sided weakness on several occasions that
have come and gone. But the cold extremities is concerning if she's not getting blood flow. So I said let's get
a doppler and we'll see her the next day. NP B stated she did not believe Resident #1's symptoms was an
emergent concern because Resident #1's vital signs were table and Resident #1 exhibited similar
symptoms before. NP B stated, Then [Physician D] and his RN came to see [Resident #1] yesterday
[4/22/24] at around 7:50 a.m. The nurse reported . [Resident #1's RP's concern], the drooping on her face,
the right hand swelling and [Physician D] examined [Resident #1] and he said [Resident #1] didn't have
facial drooping now, the extremities are the same temperature. But [Physician D] didn't see evidence of a
stroke. I chose not to go there that morning [4/22/24] because [Resident #1 had] already been examined .
At 9:30 p.m. that night I get a call from the night nurse that [Resident #1's RP] was requesting [Resident #1]
to go to the ER and have an MRI of [Resident #1's] brain . NP B stated the local hospital could not do MRIs
after 4:00 p.m. and instead she ordered for a CT scan the next morning, 4/23/24. NP B stated she believed
it was a TIA and no irreversible brain damage was done. Resident #1's CT results of her head were
reviewed with NP B at this time.
In a follow-up interview on 4/23/24 at 1:57 p.m., NP B stated she spoke with [Physician D] and they felt
nothing needed to be done for Resident #1 because Resident #1's symptoms resolve.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 9:59 p.m., CNA C stated she worked with Resident #1 during the
weekend of 4/20/24 - 4/21/24. CNA C stated Resident #1 required total care and requires assistance with
transfers. CNA C stated on 4/20/24 at around 7:00 a.m CNA C stated, Something about [Resident #1] didn't
look normal.It looked like she had a stroke because her right side, her mouth was drooping on the right
side. Her right arm was dangling. Her hand was ice cold. So I went and put her [right] hand over her
abdomen and [Resident #1] just like-she mumbles a lot even when she was mumbling, it sounded like she
was slurred. And when I fed [Resident #1], some of her food was coming out on the right side of her mouth.
I went and reported to the [LVN A at around 7:00 - 7:30 a.m.] I said, 'I think she had a mild stroke or
something. Maybe you can go take a look at her.' [LVN A] said, 'ok.' .[LVN A] said, 'that I let the night nurse
know to keep an eye on her.' And we got busy so I assumed she went and checked on her. CNA C stated
Resident #1's symptoms continued to 4/21/24 and additional on 4/21/24, Resident #1's hands became
swollen. CNA C stated she only notified LVN A.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 11:04 a.m., RN F stated she was with Physician D when he examined
Resident #1 on 4/22/24. RN F stated she and Physician D examined Resident #1 due to some right arm
swelling. RN F stated NP B mostly followed Resident #1. RN F stated, [Physician D and I] examined her
arm and [NP B] ordered a doppler. [Physician D] added an x-ray and that was basically our main focus. RN
F stated Resident #1's arm was not very swollen and that Resident #1's nurse reported the symptoms
started on Saturday, 4/20/24. RN F stated Resident #1 exhibited some facial drooping to the left side, which
did not correlate with the swelling on Resident #1's right side. RN F stated an MRI could not be done with
Resident #1 because Resident #1 could not sit still during the MRI examination. RN F stated a CT was not
ordered during the examination on 4/22/24 because it wasn't the main focus of the examination. RN F
stated a CT scan was ordered by [NP B]. RN F stated, [The CT] showed that it had progressive worsening
and including a new cerebral infarction and it's hard to tell because they're comparing it to a CT from 2021.
And from my understanding [Resident #1] had similar symptoms earlier last year. But then it kind of
resolved itself. Like what happened now. By the time we saw her Monday [4/22/24], our main focus wasn't
the facial drooping. [The facial drooping] seemed more like edema. And [Physician D] may have noticed
some flattening but it wasn't correlating with what the CT showed.From the nurses' standpoint it had gotten
better.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 1:07 p.m., LVN A stated

she worked with Resident #1 during the weekend from 4/20/24 to 4/21/24. LVN A stated a change in
condition was any difference from a resident's baseline. LVN A stated if she saw a resident had a change in
condition she would notify [NP B] or the resident's physician as soon as she could. LVN A stated at around
10:00 a.m. on 4/20/24, [CNA C] had come and told me that [Resident #1] didn't look to good as far as-[CNA
C] said [Resident #1] was kind of droopy when she was feeding her. So I didn't see when [CNA C] feed her
[Resident #1] usually cries, it's a behavior thing. And I was just checking [Resident #1], I had gone in there
and I was like ok, [Resident #1] was kind off on the right side her lip was a little down and doing her crying. I
just kept an eye on [Resident #1] that day . [Resident #1] seemed ok and I passed it onto the night nurse
[RN E.] The next day [4/21/24], [Resident #1] was up again and [Resident #1's RP] came and seemed
concerned . I texted [NP B] after that and [NP B] ordered a doppler, which I put in.[Resident #1's RP] was
concerned that she had a stroke. I didn't see anything indicating that. And I think that's what kind of threw
her off. Like I said, I don't know what [CNA C] told her. When asked why she didn't notify Resident #1's
physician or NP B, LVN A stated, At the time I didn't see a need for it. I was keeping an eye on her. When
asked if there was anything she could have changed that weekend, from 4/20/24 to 4/21/24, LVN A stated, I
felt I should have notified the doctor on Saturday [4/20/24.]
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 1:25 p.m., the DON stated a change of condition was, anything from vital
signs being abnormal to what [the resident's] normal baseline should be, discoloration, pain. Anything
visual that would be different than their normal baselines.If there is an actual observed change in condition,
first and foremost, if it's not a 911 issue, they'd contact the doctor . The timeframe [of the notification] would
change depending on what's going on. It's time-sensitive, but it would be as quickly and as soon as
possible.If there's an actual change in condition, and getting all your stuff together, it would be around 30
minutes. Unless it's more life-threatening and then you'd do it right away. When asked what he knew about
what happened to Resident #1 during the weekend of 4/20/24, the DON stated, I know what [Resident #1's
family told me, that they felt-they point-blank said she was having a stroke. And speaking with [LVN A] and
[RN E], they both had made the comment that during Saturday day shift [4/20/24] and Saturday night to
Sunday morning [4/21/24] there was no signs or symptoms of any type of facial disparity or changes.
Nothing along that line. And at some point [NP B] was called.[NP B] had asked for a doppler. The doppler
was done. [Physician D] was in Monday morning [4/22/24] and at that point he didn't see a sense of
emergency or sense of a stroke. He did say that there's some slight swelling in her right hand. The DON
stated he assessed Resident #1 and stated, the pulse was there. Very slight swelling. She was warm to
touch. I didn't notice any facial changes and this was Monday morning-ish. Monday evening, about
9:30-10:00 at night. I got a call that [Resident #1's] family wanted [Resident #1] taken to the hospital for a
stat MRI. [NP B] said there's no way that they're going to do a stat MRI at the hospital but she can have one
done the following morning. [RN E] called the family. The family was ok with that. Tuesday morning
[4/23/24], [Physician D] again came in just to lay eyes on her prior to her going out to the CT and the CT
was done. [Resident #1] came back. No issues with the CT. [NP B] called the family and said maybe it was
a transient type incident where it can come and go.[a] TIA absolutely could slightly trigger or resolve itself
within moments. When asked if the facility had a quality assurance process to ensure physicians and nurse
practitioners were promptly notified of a change in condition, the DON stated the facility had stand-up
meetings every morning on Mondays through Fridays where they reviewed the nursing progress notes.
When asked what sort of negative effects could occur to the residents if their physicians or nurse
practitioners were not notified promptly, the DON stated, the change in condition could get worse. That's an
if.

g a follow-up interview on 4/24/24 at 2:00 p.m., NP B stated she would like to be notified of a change in
condition at the time the change of condition was identified. NP B stated when LVN A called her on Sunday,
LVN A did not state when the symptoms started. NP B stated she did not know when Resident #1's
symptoms first started. NP B stated, I don't know where I heard this, I can't say, but someone has said
[Resident #1's RP] came in Sunday [4/21/24] to see [Resident #1], found the change in condition, went out
to notify the nurse, the [CNA] followed her into the room and said, [Resident #1] was like that yesterday
[4/20/21] and I told the nurse.' But I heard that as second-hand information. I don't know that for a fact. NP
B stated if there actually was a delay in notification, she would not have done anything differently for
Resident #1 because Resident #1 had a history of similar symptoms before and because Resident #1's
family had been verbal about not wanting aggressive care.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received treatment and care
in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for
notification of changes in that:
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/20/24, upon the first onset of Resident #1 's symptoms, LVN A failed to recognize significant change
of condition until the Resident #1's RP voiced concerns on 4/21/24.
These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 4/24/24 at 5:23 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on 4/26/24 the facility remained out of compliance at a level of potential harm with a scope
identified as isolated until interventions were put in place to ensure prompt notification of a resident's
physician and responsible party.
This deficient practice could affect residents with a change in condition and place them at risk of a delay in
medical intervention and decline in health.
The findings were:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 4/23/24, revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses of Alzheimer's Disease [a progressive disease that affects memory and other
important mental functions], late onset, muscle wasting and atrophy [shrinking of muscle or nerve tissue],
not elsewhere classified, multiple sites, weakness, and hypertensive heart [heart problems caused by high
blood pressure] and chronic kidney disease without heart failure, with stage 1 through stage 4 chronic
kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease.
Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #1 did not have a BIMs
score because Resident #1 was rarely/never understood.
Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes revealed no progress notes for 4/20/24. There were
the following nursing progress notes beginning 4/21/24:
- Nursing progress note dated 4/21/24 and written by LVN A: Resident noted to having edema to right hand
with coldness to touch more than left hand. [R]ight facial side drooping . [NP B] informed. Ordered venous
doppler [an imaging test to check for blood flow] to [right upper extremity.]
- Nursing progress note dated 4/22/24 and written by LVN A: [Physician D] was in facility doing rounds on
residents. Informed him of resident right hand and facial drooping . [Physician D] saw resident, right hand
not as swollen or as cold as yesterday and right side facial not as much. He ordered 3 view x-ray to right
hand and wrist.
- Nursing progress note dated 4/22/24 and written by the DON: [Resident #1's RP] and another individual
unknown to this writer in DON office with concerns of [Resident #1.] She stated that [Resident #1] had a
stroke and she knows what a stroke looks like, she asked this writer if [Resident #1] had a stroke, I
explained that I was not in a position to give DX's [diagnoses] and explained what [NP B] had ordered and
that [Physician D] was in not more than 3 hours ago to assess along with [n]ew orders.

During an interview on 4/23/24 at 9:07 a.m., Resident #1's RP stated she went to the facility on 4/21/24 at
around 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm and found Resident #1 in her room with her (Resident #1's) face drooping on
the right side. Resident #1's RP stated she reported the issue to LVN A, who did not go to assess Resident
#1 at the time. Resident #1's RP stated while she was returning to Resident #1's room, CNA C stated
yesterday, 4/20/24, Resident #1 had facial drooping and while she (CNA C) attempted to feed her breakfast
on 4/20/24 food was falling out of Resident #1's mouth. Resident #1's RP stated when CNA C left, she
noticed Resident #1's right hand were swollen and purple. Resident #1's RP stated she went out of
Resident #1's room to report the findings to LVN A, who looked at Resident #1 and then left. Resident #1's
RP stated another unknown nurse entered the room who stated she will report the findings to NP B.
Resident #1's RP stated it was not normal for Resident #1 to have facial drooping and swollen, purple
hands. Resident #1's RP stated about one year ago the facility called her (Resident #1's RP) stating
Resident #1 had a stroke, but Resident #1's RP stated when she (Resident #1's RP) arrived at the facility
Resident #1 was fine, but Resident #1's arm was hanging for a couple days. Resident #1's RP stated
Resident #1's symptoms on 4/21/24 were worse than the issue about one year ago. Resident #1's RP

B stated on Sunday at 3:33 p.m., she received a call from the nurse stating Resident #1's RP was in the
facility, Resident #1's right hand was swollen, and Resident #1 had facial drooping to the right side. NP B
stated, I said, well, [Resident #1's] had right-sided weakness on several occasions that have come and
gone. But the cold extremities is concerning if she's not getting blood flow. So I said let's get a doppler and
we'll see her the next day. NP B stated she did not believe Resident #1's symptoms was an emergent
concern because Resident #1's vital signs were table and Resident #1 exhibited similar symptoms before.
NP B stated, Then [Physician D] and his RN came to see [Resident #1] yesterday [4/22/24] at around 7:50
a.m. The nurse reported . [Resident #1's RP's concern], the drooping on her face, the right hand swelling

damage was done. Resident #1's CT results of her head were reviewed with NP B at this time.
Observation on 4/23/24 at 1:28 p.m. revealed Resident #1 was seen lying in bed in position of comfort.
Resident was yawning and shifting occasionally. Resident #1 was arousable, but went back to sleep. No
facial drooping noted.
Residents Affected - Few
In a follow-up interview on 4/23/24 at 1:57 p.m., NP B stated she spoke with [Physician D] and they felt
nothing needed to be done for Resident #1 because Resident #1's symptoms resolve.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 9:59 p.m., CNA C stated she worked with Resident #1 during the
weekend of 4/20/24 - 4/21/24. CNA C stated Resident #1 required total care and requires assistance with
transfers. CNA C stated on 4/20/24 at around 7:00 a.m CNA C stated, Something about [Resident #1] didn't
look normal.It looked like she had a stroke because her right side, her mouth was drooping on the right
side. Her right arm was dangling. Her hand was ice cold. So I went and put her [right] hand over her
abdomen and [Resident #1] just like-she mumbles a lot even when she was mumbling, it sounded like she
was slurred. And when I fed [Resident #1], some of her food was coming out on the right side of her mouth.
I went and reported to the [LVN A at around 7:00 - 7:30 a.m.] I said, 'I think she had a mild stroke or
something. Maybe you can go take a look at her.' [LVN A] said, 'ok.' .[LVN A] said, 'that I let the night nurse
know to keep an eye on her.' And we got busy so I assumed she went and checked on her. CNA C stated
Resident #1's symptoms continued to 4/21/24 and additional on 4/21/24, Resident #1's hands became
swollen. CNA C stated she only notified LVN A.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 11:04 a.m., RN F stated she was with Physician D when he examined
Resident #1 on 4/22/24. RN F stated she and Physician D examined Resident #1 due to some right arm
swelling. RN F stated NP B mostly followed Resident #1. RN F stated, [Physician D and I] examined her
arm and [NP B] ordered a doppler. [Physician D] added an x-ray and that was basically our main focus. RN
F stated Resident #1's arm was not very swollen and that Resident #1's nurse reported the symptoms
started on Saturday, 4/20/24. RN F stated Resident #1 exhibited some facial drooping to the left side, which
did not correlate with the swelling on Resident #1's right side. RN F stated an MRI could not be done with
Resident #1 because Resident #1 could not sit still during the MRI examination. RN F stated a CT was not
ordered during the examination on 4/22/24 because it wasn't the main focus of the examination. RN F
stated a CT scan was ordered by [NP B]. RN F stated, [The CT] showed that it had progressive worsening
and including a new cerebral infarction and it's hard to tell because they're comparing it to a CT from 2021.
And from my understanding [Resident #1] had similar symptoms earlier last year. But then it kind of
resolved itself. Like what happened now. By the time we saw her Monday [4/22/24], our main focus wasn't
the facial drooping. [The facial drooping] seemed more like edema. And [Physician D] may have noticed
some flattening but it wasn't correlating with what the CT showed.From the nurses' standpoint it had gotten
better.
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 1:07 p.m., LVN A stated she worked with Resident #1 during the weekend
from 4/20/24 to 4/21/24. LVN A stated a change in condition was any difference from a resident's baseline.
LVN A stated if she saw a resident had a change in condition she would notify [NP B] or the resident's
physician as soon as she could. LVN A stated at around 10:00 a.m. on 4/20/24, [CNA C] had come and told
me that [Resident #1] didn't look to good as far as-[CNA C] said [Resident #1] was kind of droopy when she
was feeding her. So I didn't see when [CNA C] feed her [Resident #1] usually cries, it's a behavior thing.
And I was just checking [Resident #1], I had gone in there and I was like ok, [Resident #1] was kind off on
the right side her lip was a little down and doing her crying. I just kept an eye on [Resident #1] that day .
[Resident #1] seemed ok and I passed it onto the

night nurse [RN E.] The next day [4/21/24], [Resident #1] was up again and [Resident #1's RP] came and
seemed concerned . I texted [NP B] after that and [NP B] ordered a doppler, which I put in.[Resident #1's
RP] was concerned that she had a stroke. I didn't see anything indicating that. And I think that's what kind
of threw her off. Like I said, I don't know what [CNA C] told her. When asked why she didn't notify Resident
#1's physician or NP B, LVN A stated, At the time I didn't see a need for it. I was keeping an eye on her.
When asked if there was anything she could have changed that weekend, from 4/20/24 to 4/21/24, LVN A
stated, I felt I should have notified the doctor on Saturday [4/20/24.]
During an interview on 4/24/24 at 1:25 p.m., the DON stated a change of condition was, anything from vital
signs being abnormal to what [the resident's] normal baseline should be, discoloration, pain. Anything
visual that would be different than their normal baselines.If there is an actual observed change in condition,
first and foremost, if it's not a 911 issue, they'd contact the doctor . The timeframe [of the notification] would
change depending on what's going on. It's time-sensitive, but it would be as quickly and as soon as
possible.If there's an actual change in condition, and getting all your stuff together, it would be around 30
minutes. Unless it's more life-threatening and then you'd do it right away. When asked what he knew about
what happened to Resident #1 during the weekend of 4/20/24, the DON stated, I know what [Resident #1's
family told me, that they felt-they point-blank said she was having a stroke. And speaking with [LVN A] and
[RN E], they both had made the comment that during Saturday day shift [4/20/24] and Saturday night to
Sunday morning [4/21/24] there was no signs or symptoms of any type of facial disparity or changes.
Nothing along that line. And at some point [NP B] was called.[NP B] had asked for a doppler. The doppler
was done. [Physician D] was in Monday morning [4/22/24] and at that point he didn't see a sense of
emergency or sense of a stroke. He did say that there's some slight swelling in her right hand. The DON
stated he assessed Resident #1 and stated, the pulse was there. Very slight swelling. She was warm to
touch. I didn't notice any facial changes and this was Monday morning-ish. Monday evening, about
9:30-10:00 at night. I got a call that [Resident #1's] family wanted [Resident #1] taken to the hospital for a
stat MRI. [NP B] said there's no way that they're going to do a stat MRI at the hospital but she can have one
done the following morning. [RN E] called the family. The family was ok with that. Tuesday morning
[4/23/24], [Physician D] again came in just to lay eyes on her prior to her going out to the CT and the CT
was done. [Resident #1] came back. No issues with the CT. [NP B] called the family and said maybe it was
a transient type incident where it can come and go.[a] TIA absolutely could slightly trigger or resolve itself
within moments. When asked if the facility had a quality assurance process to ensure physicians and nurse
practitioners were promptly notified of a change in condition, the DON stated the facility had stand-up
meetings every morning on Mondays through Fridays where they reviewed the nursing progress notes.
When asked what sort of negative effects could occur to the residents if their physicians or nurse
practitioners were not notified promptly, the DON stated, the change in condition could get worse. That's an
if.
During a follow-up interview on 4/24/24 at 2:00 p.m., NP B stated she would like to be notified of a change
in condition at the time the change of condition was identified. NP B stated when LVN A called her on
Sunday, LVN A did not state when the symptoms started. NP B stated she did not know when Resident #1's
symptoms first started. NP B stated, I don't know where I heard this, I can't say, but someone has said
[Resident #1's RP] came in Sunday [4/21/24] to see [Resident #1], found the change in condition, went out
to notify the nurse, the [CNA] followed her into the room and said, [Resident #1] was like that yesterday
[4/20/21] and I told the nurse.' But I heard that as second-hand information. I don't know that for a fact. NP
B stated if there actually was a delay in notification, she would not have done anything differently for
