Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report allegation of staff-to-resident abuse within
two hours to the State Survey Agency (SSA) and the Ombudsman (an advocate for residents of nursing
homes, board and care centers, and assisted living facilities), as per its policies on abuse for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1).
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 1 at risk for further abuse.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 1 on 5/18/2021, with diagnoses that included unspecified (unconfirmed) atrial fibrillation
(irregular heartbeat), essential hypertension (a type of high blood pressure that develops gradually and has
no clear cause) and Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental
abilities).
During a record review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/26/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated
12/25/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was
dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL-eating, toileting, dressing and personal hygiene).
During a record review of Resident 1's Situation Background Assessment Review (SBAR-a communication
tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents) Communication
Form, dated 1/7/2025, the SBAR indicated Resident 1 had minor bruising and minor swelling on the left
hand near the knuckles of the second and third finger. The SBAR indicated the Physician was notified on
1/7/2025 a 6 p.m.
During a record review of Resident 1's Progress Notes (PN), dated 1/7/2025, timed at 10 pm., the PN
indicated Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) called Family Member 1 (FM 1) and FM 1 notified RN 1 that FM 1
believed that either Home Health Aide (HHA) or Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4) mishandled Resident
1 during care. The PN indicated RN 1 notified FM 1 that she (RN 1) would investigate the incident.

procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) by not following the physician's orders.

Findings:
During a record review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 1 on 5/18/2021, with diagnoses that included unspecified (unconfirmed) atrial fibrillation
(irregular heartbeat), essential hypertension (a type of high blood pressure that develops gradually and has
no clear cause) and Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental
abilities).
During a record review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/26/2024, the H&P indicated

Report indicated ibuprofen (medication used to treat pain) 600 milligrams (mg- metric unit of measurement,
used for medication dosage and or amount), give one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for
moderate pain level of four to six.
During a record review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 12/20/2024, the Order Summary
Report indicated hydrocodone-acetaminophen (medication used to treat pain) 5-325 mg, give two tablets
by mouth every six hours as need for severe pain level of eight to ten.
During a record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated
12/25/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was
dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL-eating, toileting, dressing and personal hygiene).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/9/2025, at 3:09 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 7/16/2024, 12/20/2024, and Medication Administration
Record (MAR- a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and
treatments given to a resident) dated 1/2025, was reviewed. The MAR dated 1/6/2025, indicated at 9:34
a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) gave two tablets of hydrocodone-acetaminophen to Resident 1
with a pain level of seven. The DON stated Resident 1 should have been given ibuprofen instead of
hydrocodone-acetaminophen. The DON stated LVN 3 did not follow the physician's order.
