Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that
maintained or enhance a resident's dignity and respect in full recognition of their individuality for one (1) of
1 sampled resident (Resident 13) reviewed for dignity when Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) failed to
provide privacy while providing care to Resident 13.
This deficient practice had the potential to affect the resident's self-esteem and self-worth.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 13's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 11/11/2024 and readmitted the resident on 11/112024 with diagnoses including
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), abnormalities of gait and mobility, and
generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 13's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/11/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 13 can make his needs known but cannot make decisions.
During a review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/13/2024,
the MDS indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 13 required total assistance with bathing, and
lower body dressing; substantial/maximal assistance with toileting, upper body dressing, personal hygiene,
sit to stand, and chair/be to chair transfers; partial/moderate assistance with all other activities of daily living
(ADLs, routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for
themselves). The MDS indicated Resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 8:43 a.m. inside Resident 13's room,
observed CNA 5 providing care to Resident 13 who was turned on his side exposing the buttock while the
privacy curtain was halfway closed. CNA 5 stated the Charge Nurse (CN) just came to talk to her and she
forgot to fully close the curtain and continued providing care to the resident. CNA 5 stated she should have
closed the curtain after talking to the CN.
During a follow-up interview on 2/15/2025 at 10 a.m. with CNA 5, CNA 5 stated every time they are
providing care to the residents, privacy should be maintained by fully closing the curtain. CNA 5 stated it
was a dignity and privacy issue and residents could feel embarrassed if other people observe the provision
of care to them (residents).

acknowledgment noted in Resident 84's medical record.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/16/2025 at 8:30 a.m. with Health Information Director
(HID), Resident 84's chart was reviewed. The HID stated there was no documented evidence there was an
Advance Directive Acknowledgment in the chart but would verify with Social Services Director (SSD).
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 8:42 a.m., the SSD stated upon admission residents are asked about
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST- a form that contains written medical orders for
healthcare professionals regarding specific medical treatments that can or cannot be done at the end-of
life) and advance directive. The SSD stated there is no advance directive acknowledgment or any
documentation to indicate Resident 84's responsible party was informed of formulating an advance
directive. The SSD should be offering advance directives to residents as it is their right to have an advance
directive and know what their wishes are. The SSD stated an advance directive is a paper form of the
resident's after-life wishes. The SSD stated advance directives acknowledgment form has not been offered
to Resident 84 and/or his responsible party with a risk for Resident 84's right not to be respected.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:05 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident 84 has been
in the facility since November of last year. The DON stated that if advance directive information is not in the
chart it means the SSD did not communicate and did not offer.

reviewed 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated advance directives will be respected in accordance with state law
and facility policy. Upon admission, the resident will be provided with written information concerning the
right to refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she
chooses to do so. If the resident is incapacitated and unable to receive information about his or her right to
formulate an advance directive, the information may be provided to the resident's legal representative.
Information about whether or not the resident has executed an advance directive shall be displayed
prominently in the medical record.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to inform and provide the resident/representative
the option to formulate an advance directive (legal documents that provide instructions for medical care and
only go into effect if the resident cannot communicate their wishes) for two of three sampled residents
(Resident 20 and Resident 84) reviewed for Advance Directive care area.
This deficient practice violated Resident 20 and Resident 84's rights and/or representatives' right to be fully
informed of the option to formulate an advance directive.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 20's admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 8/22/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cardiomyopathy (a
disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), and
generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 20's Internal Medicine Initial Evaluation, dated 1/24/2025, the evaluation
indicated the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/26/2025,
indicated the resident had adequate hearing and clear speech, had the ability to make self understand and
understand others. The MDS indicated Resident 20 was dependent on staff for shower/bathe self and
required substantial/maximal assistance with upper and lower body dressing and putting on/taking off
footwear. The MDS indicated Resident 20 was dependent on staff with mobility including sit to lying, lying to
sitting on side of bed, sit to stand, chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 1:29 p.m. with Social Services Director
(SSD), Resident 20's Social Service Assessment, dated 1/23/2025, was reviewed. The Social Service
Assessment indicated, under Advance Directive section, as not applicable. The SSD stated she did not
offer and provide information to Resident 20 if they would like to formulate an advance directive or not. The
SSD stated this is completed at the time of admission. The SSD stated when Resident 20 is not offered and
provided an option to formulate an Advance Directive or not could affect his overall medical decisions and
not follow his wishes and his after-life care.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 5:55 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the admission
department starts the conversation with the Advance Directives. The DON stated then the SSD will do the
assessment advance directive and quarterly and annually can be reviewed. The DON stated at the time of
readmission the SSD and the admitting nurse will have to ask and validate if the resident/representative
had executed an Advance Directive. The DON stated if they would like to formulate it then they will assist
and discuss during the interdisciplinary meeting. The DON stated the resident's wishes would not be known
unless it is in writing because it serves as a document to help the

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Change in a Resident's Condition or Status (COC), for one of two sampled residents (Resident 50) by not
promptly informing Resident 50's resident representative when on 1/23/2025 Resident 50 had a laboratory
result of low iron level (a condition where your body has too few iron stores).
This deficient practice resulted to violation of Resident 50 or the resident representative's right to be
notified.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 50's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 50 on 1/10/2025 with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on
the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial paralysis or weakness on one side of the body)
following a cerebral infarction (a medical condition that occurs when the blood flow to the brain is disrupted
due to issues with the arteries that supply it) affecting the left dominant side, epilepsy (a chronic brain
disorder that causes seizures, which are abnormal electrical discharges in the brain), and essential
(primary) hypertension (HTN - high blood pressure). The admission Record indicated Resident 50's family
member was the resident representative.
During a review of Resident 50's History and Physical (H&P) Note, dated 1/11/2025, the H&P indicated
Resident 50 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 50's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 50 had the ability to understand and had the ability to be understood. The MDS
indicated Resident 50 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting, showering, upper and lower
body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 50's Lab Result Report, dated 1/23/2025, the report indicated an iron level of
49 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dL - a unit of measurement, normal range of 65 to 175 ug/dL). The result
indicated Resident 50's iron level was low.
During a review of Resident 50's Progress Notes, dated 1/23/2025 at 2:07 p.m., the notes indicated labs
were relayed to Nurse Practitioner (NP- a registered nurse with advanced training who provides patient
care).
During a review of Resident 50's Order Summary Report, dated 1/23/2025, the report indicated an order for
ferrous sulfate (a type of iron that treats and prevents iron deficiency anemia) 325 milligrams (mg- a unit of
measurement), to give one tablet by mouth three times a day for supplement with meals to prevent stomach
upset.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/16/2025 at 3:07 p.m. with the Health Information
Director (HID), Resident 50's Situational Background Assessment and Recommendation (SBAR - a
structured way to share information between people, especially in healthcare setting), was reviewed. The
HID stated there were no SBARs done on 1/23/2025 for Resident 50.

Coordinator Nurse (MDSC), Resident 50's medical records (a history of someone's health) were reviewed.
The MDSC stated a SBAR is for any change in a resident's condition, it can be for a decline or
improvement for all aspects of care mental and physical. The MDSC stated an abnormal laboratory would
require a SBAR to be done. The MDSC reviewed Resident 50's labs on 1/23/2025 and stated Resident 50's
iron is low. The MDSC stated there should be a SBAR for the low iron labs but does not see a SBAR for the
low iron result. The MDSC stated the purpose of a SBAR is to have interventions, must call the doctor,
there needs to be monitoring, care planning and contact the family and/or resident representative. The
MDSC stated did not see any specific monitoring or care plan for the low iron for Resident 50. The MDSC
stated monitoring would include to observe for tarry stools, skin color, and bleeding. The MDSC stated the
risk of not doing a SBAR is failing to notify the family of the COC since it is their right to know so that they
can be informed and make regarding Resident 50's care. The MDSC stated also a risk for no interventions
for monitoring a potential risk for internal bleeding and distress. The MDSC stated since there was no
SBAR created, there was no care plan created to monitor sign and symptoms of anemia, because the care
plans are to establish interventions and monitoring for effectiveness.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:17 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 50's medical records were reviewed. The DON stated a SBAR is used to do an
assessment to identify the change in a resident, must notify the doctor to review the plan of care and
revised accordingly. The DON stated an SBAR is for any changes in residents that are off baseline. The
DON reviewed Resident 50's labs on 1/23/2025 and stated iron level of 49 ug/dL was low reflecting a
change in Resident 50's labs and would require for the nurse to do an SBAR. The DON stated with a SBAR
staff will ask additional questions, and will include monitoring, and the doctor may order follow up labs. The
DON stated there was no follow up order for labs after low iron results. The DON stated Resident 50 would
require a care plan for low iron level. The DON stated Resident 50 must have a care plan to have a
direction of treatment and how to address the situation. The DON stated the low iron level was not relayed
to family. The DON stated it may have violated the family member's right to be informed of the COC.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, last reviewed
1/14/2025, the P&P indicated our facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and
the resident representatives of changes in the resident's medical and or mental conditions and or status.
The nurse will record in the resident's medical record information relative to changes in the resident's
medical and mental condition or status. If a significant change in the resident's physical or mental condition
occurs, a comprehensive assessment of the resident condition will be conducted as required by current
OBRA regulation governing resident assessments and as outline in the MDS RAI instruction Manual.

Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, facility failed to maintain privacy of confidential
information when Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) left the electronic health record (EHR- a digital
version of a patient's paper chart) opened, unattended and out of view for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 92) during a random observation.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice violated Resident 92's right to privacy and confidentiality of their medical records.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 92's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 92 on 1/30/2025 with diagnoses including personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA- a
temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain), essential (primary) hypertension (HTN-high blood
pressure), and hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat, or lipids, in the blood).
During a review of Resident 92's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 2/3/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 92 had the ability to understand and be understood.
During an observation on 2/15/2025 at 10:02 a.m. observed LVN 4 standing outside of Resident 92 room
with EHR opened to Resident 92's medication administration records (MAR - a daily documentation record
used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident). Observed LVN 4
then walk away to Nurse Station 2 away from the computer leaving Resident 92's EHR open.
During an interview on 2/15/2025 at 10:08 a.m. with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated she left Resident 92's EHR
opened and unattended. LVN 4 stated she should have closed the computer as there is a risk for someone
to have access to Resident 92's personal information that they should not have access to.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:28 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
must minimize the computer screen when walking away from the computer to protect resident information.
The DON stated there is a potential for someone to pass by and other people to see resident information
who should not have access to the residents' records.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Confidentiality of Information and
Personal Privacy, last reviewed 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated the facility will protect and safeguard resident
confidentiality and personal privacy. The facility will safeguard the personal privacy and confidentiality of all
resident personal and medical records. Access to resident personal and medical records will be limited to
authorized staff and business associates.

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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, comfortable, and
homelike environment for one (1) of three (3) sampled residents (Resident 32) reviewed under
Environmental Task by failing to ensure Resident 32's right floor mat was not torn off on the right lower
corner.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the resident's quality of life.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 1/24/2025 with diagnoses including muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle
mass and strength), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and generalized muscle
weakness.
During a review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 32 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 32 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision or touching assistance with eating; total
assistance from staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished
every day for an individual to thrive).
During a review of Resident 32's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order dated 11/26/2024 for floor mat (landing mat) on the right side of the bed and monitor
every shift for proper positioning and placement.
During a review of Resident 32's care plan (CP) on risk for falls and injuries initiated on 5/18/2021 and last
revised on 2/3/2025, the CP indicated floor mat (landing mat) on the right side of the bed and monitor for
proper positioning and placement every shift as one of the interventions to prevent falls.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 9:18 a.m. inside Resident 32's room with
Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1), TN 1 stated Resident 32's right floor mat had the right lower corner torn off. TN 1
stated the maintenance department will be notified to change the floor mat. TN 1 stated the staff are
responsible to notify the maintenance department if a resident equipment needs to be changed in the
room. TN 1 stated Resident 32's torn floor mat was not providing a homelike environment for the resident.
TN 1 stated the facility is considered Resident 32's home already and had to be provided a clean, safe, and
functioning equipment in the room.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:55 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated if staff observed any equipment, devices, or furnishing in the room that is in disrepair such as the
floor mat that is torn, the maintenance department should be notified immediately to change the device,
equipment, or furnishings. The ADON stated residents are provided with a safe, clean, functioning
equipment, furnishings while residing in the facility as the facility is already their home. The ADON stated
Resident 32's floor mat should have been changed as soon as observed with the

Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with
respect and dignity including the right to be free from physical restraints (any manual method, physical or
mechanical device, material or equipment that is attached or adjacent to the resident's body that he or she
cannot easily remove that restricts freedom of movement or normal access to one's body) for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 20) reviewed for physical restraints care area by failing to ensure Resident 20
had an informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving
education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered), a restraint assessment, and a care plan
for restraint bed placed against the wall.
Residents Affected - Few
These deficient practices had the potential to result in the restriction of resident's freedom of movement, a
decline in physical functioning, psychosocial harm, and physical harm from entrapment (a state in which a
person is trapped by the bed rail in a position that they cannot move from).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 20's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 8/22/2023 and readmitted the resident on 1/22/2025 with diagnoses including
cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest
of the body), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing), and generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 20's Internal Medicine Initial Evaluation, dated 1/24/2025, the Internal Medicine
Initial Evaluation indicated the resident has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 20's physician's order dated 2/13/2025, the physician's order indicated devices:
left one fourth (¼) side rail (bar or barrier that attaches to the side of a bed) and right side of bed
towards the wall for enabler and resident's preference.
During a review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 1/26/2025,
the MDS indicated the resident had adequate hearing and clear speech, had the ability to make self
understood and understand others. The MDS indicated the resident was dependent on staff for
shower/bathe self and required substantial/maximal assistance with upper and lower body dressing and
putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS indicated the resident was dependent on staff with mobility
including sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, sit to stand, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During an observation on 2/15/2025 at 10:07 a.m., Resident 20 was lying asleep on a low bed. The right
side of Resident 20's bed was up against the wall.
During an interview on 2/15/2025 at 12:45 p.m. with Resident 20, Resident 20 stated his right side of his

CNA 6 stated Resident 20 was asleep on bed. CNA 6 stated since Resident 20 had been admitted , the
resident's bed had always been up against the wall. CNA 6 stated he (CNA 6) assumes it was because the
resident was high risk for falls, but he was unsure of the exact reason. CNA 6 stated if Resident 20 needed
to transfer out of bed, he (CNA 6) would assist the resident on the left side of the bed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:44 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN 7), Resident 20's right side of his bed was up against the wall. Resident 20 was asleep on the bed.
LVN 7 stated she did not know why the resident's bed was up against the wall.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 3:26 p.m. with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated
restraint assessment, informed consent, interdisciplinary meeting, physician orders, and care plan are done
on admission or when it (restraint) is used and reviewed at least quarterly. The MDSC stated restraints
prohibit the movement of the resident.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 3:36 p.m. with the MDSC, reviewed
Resident 20's physician orders, assessments, informed consent, and care plans. The MDSC stated there
was no restraint assessment, no informed consent, and no care plan on the use of restraint bed placed
against the wall. The MDSC stated it is important to have all the requirements in place to ensure the
restraint was safe to be used and for the staff to know what interventions to implement for the resident. The
MDSC stated at a minimum, restraint use should be evaluated quarterly.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 6:04 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated there is
a physician's order for Resident 20's preference of having the right side of bed up against the wall. The
DON stated that the freedom of movement includes being able to get out of bed on the right side of the
bed. The DON stated Resident 20 is unable to move the bed away from the wall. The DON stated they will
reassess all residents whose bed is up against the wall using their facility's policy and procedure (P&P)
titled, Use of Restraints.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Use of Restraints last reviewed on 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated
Restraints shall only used for the safety and well-being of the resident(s) and only after other alternatives
have been tried unsuccessfully. Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s)
and never for discipline or staff convenience, or for the prevention of falls. When the use of restraints is
indicated, the least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount of time necessary, and the
ongoing re-evaluation for the need for restraints will be documented. The P&P indicated 1. 'Physical
Restraints' are defined as any manual method or physical or mechanical device . or adjacent to the
resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or restricts
normal access to one's body. The deficient of a restraint is based on the functional status of the resident
and not the device. If the resident cannot remove a device in the same manner in which the staff applied it
given that resident's physical condition (i.e., side rails are put back fown, rather than climbed over), and this
restricts his/her typical ability to change position or place, that device is considered a restraint . Residents
and/or surrogate/sponsor shall be informed about the potential risks and benefits of all options under
consideration, including the use of restraints, not using restraints, and the alternatives to restraint use .
Care plans for residents in restraints will reflect interventions that address not only the immediate medical
symptom(s), but the underlying problems that may be causing the symptom(s). Care plans shall also
include the measures taken to systematically reduce or eliminate the need for restraint use.

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
interview and record review, the facility:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Failed develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan (CP-a document outlining a detailed
approach to care customized to an individual resident's needs) timely for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 2) reviewed for anticoagulant (blood thinner - prevents blood clots or keep an existing clot from
getting worse) when Resident 2's care plan addressing the use of heparin (anticoagulant) was developed
25 days after readmission.
2. Failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 50) reviewed for Change of Condition (COC) care area when Resident 50 had a COC of low iron
laboratory results (too low may be a sign of anemia [lack of oxygen-rich blood which can cause fatigue,
weakness, and dizziness]) on 1/23/2025.
These deficient practices had the potential for a delay in providing the necessary care and treatments to
Residents 2 and 50.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted Resident 2 on 2/8/2021 and readmitted the resident on 12/27/2024, with diagnoses including
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), contracture (a stiffening/shortening at any joint,
that reduces the joint's range of motion) of muscle on multiple sites, and gastrostomy (a surgical opening
fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems).
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/18/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 2 had severely impaired cognition (having the ability to think, learn, and
remember clearly) and required total assistance with all activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that
must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS indicated Resident received
anticoagulant.
During a re view of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P) dated 12/30/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
22 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's
order dated 12/27/2024 for heparin sodium (porcine) injection solution 5000 units per milliliter (units/ml - a
unit of measurement) **dispense as written ([NAME])** 5000 units hemodialysis (a treatment to cleanse the
blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed) two (2) times
a day for blood clot prevention.
During a review of Resident 2' care plan (CP) on risk for bleeding or bruising related to use of heparin, the
CP indicated it was initiated on 1/21/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 2:45 p.m., reviewed Resident 2's
physician's order and CP with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1). RN 1 stated Resident 2 had a physician's

physician's order and care plan with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated care
plans, especially new medication orders, should be initiated by the nurse who received the order. The
ADON stated Resident 2 had a physician's order dated 12/27/2025 for heparin and the care plan
addressing the use of heparin was developed and implemented on 1/21/2025. The ADON stated Resident
2's care plan addressing the use of heparin was not developed and implemented timely. The ADON stated
Resident 2's care plan for the heparin should have been developed and implemented timely on 12/27/2025
so the other disciplines involved in the care of Resident 2 would be aware of the interventions to prevent
delay in providing care and treatment for the resident.

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to revise the comprehensive care plan for one of
five sampled residents (Resident 32) reviewed for unnecessary medications by failing:
Residents Affected - Few
1. To revise (update) Resident 32's care plan on the use of bupropion (medication used to treat depression
[a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss
of interest in activities once enjoyed]) after the physician increased the dose of the medication on
12/19/2024.
2. To ensure care plans reflect the updated interventions provided to Resident 32.
These deficient practices had the potential for delayed provision of necessary care and services.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 32 on 5/17/2021, with diagnoses that included including type two (2) diabetes mellitus
(DM 2 - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), metabolic
encephalopathy (a condition where the brain does not function properly due to an underlying metabolic
imbalance), generalized muscle weakness, and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities).
During a record review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P - a medical examination that involves a
doctor taking a patient's medical history, performing a physical exam, and documenting their findings),
dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 32 did not have the capacity to understand and make
decisions.
During a record review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated
12/15/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 32's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 32
required supervision or touching assistance with eating and total assistance from staff with all other
activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
The MDS indicated Resident 32 was on antidepressant (medications used to treat symptoms of
depression) and insulin (a hormone that removes excess sugar from the blood, can be produced by the
body or given artificially via medication).
A. During a record review of Resident 32's Physician Order, dated 12/19/2024, the Physician Order
indicated the following order:
1. Bupropion hydrochloride extended release, give 150 milligrams (mg - metric unit of measurement, used
for medication dosage and/or amount) by mouth one time a day for depression manifested by lack of
motivation with activities of daily living.
2. Discontinue bupropion hydrochloride extended release, 100 mg by mouth one time a day for depression
manifested by lack of motivation with activities of daily living.

for the insulin were not updated to reflect the current dose the physician ordered. The ADON stated care
plans are updated during the quarterly or annual MDS assessments and as needed when a new order is
received. The ADON stated Resident 32's should have been updated when the order was changed to
reflect the current type of insulin and dosage ordered by the physician so everyone would be aware of
Resident 32's current plan of care to prevent delay in the delivery of necessary services the resident
needed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Goals and Objectives, Care Plans, last
reviewed on 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated care plans shall incorporate goals and objectives that lead to the
resident's highest obtainable level of independence. The P&P further indicated:
- Care plans shall incorporate goals and objectives that lead to the resident's highest obtainable level of
independence.
- When goals and objective are not achieved, the resident's clinical record will be documented why the
results were not achieved and what new goals and objectives have been established. Care plans will be
modified accordingly.
- Goals and objectives are entered on the resident's care plan so that all disciplines have access to such
information and are able to report whether or not the desired outcomes are achieved.
- Goals and objectives are reviewed and/or revised:
a. When there has been a change in the resident's condition.
b. When the desired outcome has not been achieved.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide care in accordance with professional standards:
Residents Affected - Some
1.
For one of one sampled resident (Resident 32) reviewed for insulin (a hormone that lowers the level of
glucose [a type of sugar] in the blood) by failing to rotate (a method to ensure repeated injections are not
administered in the same area) subcutaneous (beneath the skin) the insulin administration sites.
This deficient practice had the potential for adverse effect (unwanted, unintended result) of same site
subcutaneous administration of insulin such as excessive bruising, lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of
fat) and cutaneous amyloidosis (is a condition in which clumps of abnormal proteins called amyloids build
up in the skin).
2.
For one of one sampled resident (Resident 2) reviewed for anticoagulant (commonly called blood thinner,
that increase the time it takes for blood to clot) by failing to ensure there was monitoring in place for signs
and symptoms of bleeding for the use of heparin (an anticoagulant).
This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 2 unintended complications related to the side
effects (unwanted, unpleasant results of a medication) of anticoagulant use such as bleeding or bruising if
not monitored routinely which may lead to hospitalization or even death.
Cross Reference F760 (Resident 32) and F755 (Resident 2)
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 1/24/2025 with diagnoses including type two (2) diabetes mellitus (DM 2 - a
disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), dementia (a progressive
state of decline in mental abilities), and generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 32 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 32 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision or touching assistance with eating; total
assistance from staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished
every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS further indicated Resident 32 received insulin.
During a review of Resident 32's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated the

During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 2:45 p.m., reviewed Resident 2's
physician's orders and MAR with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1). RN 1 stated Resident 2 did not have a
physician's order to monitor for bleeding every shift for the use of anticoagulant heparin. RN 1 stated
residents should have a physician's order to monitor residents for signs and symptoms of bleeding due to
use of anticoagulant. RN 1 stated there should have been a physician's order to monitor Resident 2 for
signs and symptoms of bleeding as it placed Resident 32 at risk for untoward cardiac (pertaining to the
heart) events and hospitalization.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/17/2025 at 4:19 p.m., reviewed Resident 2's
physician's order and MAR with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated Resident 2 did
not have a physician's order to monitor the resident for signs of symptoms of bleeding and there was no
monitoring for bleeding in the MAR. The ADON stated the licensed nurse (LN) should also obtain a
physician's order for monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding every shift along with the order for
anticoagulant per facility protocol. The ADON stated the LN should have obtained an order for monitoring
for signs and symptoms of bleeding addressing Resident 2's use of heparin to prevent complications
related to not monitoring the symptoms of bleeding which may lead to hospitalization.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P titled, Anticoagulant - Clinical Protocol, last
reviewed 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated:
Assess for any signs and symptoms related to adverse drug reactions due to the medication alone or in
combination with other medications.
Assess for evidence of effects related to the subtherapeutic or greater than therapeutic drug level related to
that particular drug) for example, a resident with an above therapeutic level of an anticoagulation
medication should be assessed for bleeding.
The nurse shall assess and document or report the current anticoagulant therapy, including drug and
current dosage.
Long-term subcutaneous administration of heparin in chronically bed-bound individuals is not indicated or
of proven benefit for long-term deep vein thrombosis (DVT - a blood clot that forms in the veins located
deep within a limb, usually the lower leg or thigh) prophylaxis.
The staff and physician will monitor for possible complications in individuals who are being anticoagulated
and will manage related problems.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents
(Resident 67) reviewed for nutrition care area was provided with the care and services to maintain good
nutrition by failing to provide Resident 67 with assistance with all meals as the physician has ordered.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 67 to lose weight and/or be malnourished (not getting
enough of the right nutrients from food).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 67's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 67 on 3/22/2024 and readmitted the resident on 12/6/2024 with diagnoses including hemiplegia
(total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial paralysis
or weakness on one side of the body) following a cerebral infarction (a medical condition that occurs when
the blood flow to the brain is disrupted due to issues with the arteries that supply it) affecting the left
dominant side, muscle weakness, moderate protein calorie malnutrition (a nutritional condition that occurs
when someone doesn't get enough protein and calories), and anemia (a condition where the body does not
have enough healthy red blood cells).
During a review of Resident 67's Nutritional assessment dated [DATE], the Nutritional Assessment
indicated Resident 67 was on puree diet texture upon readmission, recently upgraded per Speech Therapy;
resident needs assistance with meals; and oral (PO) intake were mostly 25-75 percent (%).
During a review of Resident 67's Order Summary Review, the Order Summary Review indicated the
following physician's orders dated 12/6/2024:
Regular diet mechanical soft texture. Regular liquid consistency, fortified meals, four ounces (oz-unit of
measurement), high protein nourishment (HPN) with meals.
Provide feeding assistance at all times.
During a review of Resident 67's Nutritional assessment dated [DATE], the Nutritional Assessment
indicated resident needs assistance with meals with PO intakes mostly 25-75%.
During a review of Resident 67's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 67 had the ability to understand and be understood. The MDS indicated
Resident 67 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting, showering, lower body dressing,
putting on and taking off shoes, and required partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort) oral
hygiene, upper body dressing, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 67's care plan created on 1/17/2025 for nutritional and dehydration (the body
doesn't have enough water in it to function properly), the care plan indicated interventions that included to
assist resident as needed with feeding and to monitor for signs of malnutrition.

originally admitted Resident 297 on 5/7/2024 and readmitted in the facility on 2/12/2025, with diagnoses
including congestive heart failure (CHF - a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood
efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities),
and generalized weakness.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 297's History and Physical, dated 2/13/2025, the H&P indicated the resident
can make his needs known but unable to make medical decisions.
During a review of Resident 297's Admission/readmission Initial Assessment form dated 2/12/2025, the
Admission/readmission Initial Assessment form indicated Resident 297 required supervision/touching
assistance with eating; partial/moderate assistance with bed mobility; substantial/maximal assistance with
toileting hygiene; all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day
for an individual to thrive) were not tested due to safety concerns.
During a review of Resident 297's fall risk assessment dated [DATE], the fall risk assessment indicated the
resident was not a high risk for falls.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 8:45 a.m., inside Resident 297's room with
Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5), CNA 5 stated Resident 297's overbed table was placed on top of the
right floor mat for unknown amount of time. CNA 5 stated the overbed table wheels left an indentation on
the floor mat and was unstable when she tried to move it (overbed table). CNA 5 stated the overbed table
can fall on Resident 297 and cause injury to the resident. CNA 5 further stated Resident 297 can hit the
table, loose balance, and cause injury upon getting out of bed. CNA 5 stated the overbed table should not
have been left on top of the floor mat as it placed Resident 297 at risk for getting hurt during a fall.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:30 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated there should be no heavy equipment or any furniture on top of the floor mat as it can affect the
integrity of the floor mat which could affect the impact of a fall incident. The ADON stated placing any
equipment or furniture on top of the floor mat can cause injury when the resident get up and hit the table
due to unstable balance, or the overbed table can be unstable and fall on the resident when moved. The
ADON stated Resident 297's overbed table should not have been placed on top of the floor mat as it placed
Resident 297 at risk for incurring injury in case of a fall.
During a review of the facility's recent P&P titled Safety and Supervision of Residents last reviewed on
1/14/2025, the P&P indicated safety risks and environmental hazards are identified on an ongoing basis
through a combination of employee training, employee monitoring, and reporting processes; quality
assurance and performance improvement (QAPI, a data driven and proactive approach to quality
improvement of care) reviews of safety and incident/accident data; and facility-wide commitment to safety.
During a review of the facility-provided user instruction for Floor Mat 1 (FM 1), undated, the user instruction
indicated in addition to low height beds that have been found to help reduce the incidence of falls; impact
reduction fall mats placed alongside the bed have become a cost-effective means to help reduce the
incidence of patient trauma and severity of injury by providing a cushioned, slide resistant surface.

did not indicate if Resident 78's use of antidepressant and psychotropic medication was discussed.
During an interview, on 2/16/2025, at 6:46 p.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated the facility just started Behavioral IDT for residents on psychotropic medications on 12/2024 and not
all residents on psychotropic medications was reviewed.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/17/2025, at 8:09 a.m., with the ADON, the ADON
stated Resident 78's IDT was reviewed. The ADON stated the facility lacked documentation of Behavior
Management Meeting (IDT) with Resident 78's Psychiatrist. The ADON stated the importance of an IDT
with the Psychiatrist was to discuss if Resident 78 had increasing or decreasing behavior, so the
Psychiatrist can adjust the medication to make sure Resident 78 is getting the correct dosage of the
medication.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 1:43 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated Behavioral IDT is important so the facility and the Psychiatrist can determine if resident needed
medication adjustment or discontinuation.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 2:43 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
Psychiatrist comes and visit every two months. The DON stated the ADON was in charge of the Behavioral
IDT with the Psychiatrist.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 5:13 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated Behavioral IDT is a tool to
monitor the effectiveness of the medication under the supervision of the clinician.
During a record review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotropic/Antipsychotic
Medications and Gradual Drug Dose Reduction, dated 4/2024 and last reviewed on 1/14/2025, the P&P
indicated, Residents who use antipsychotic drugs shall receive gradual dose reduction and behavioral
interventions, unless clinically contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue these drugs. Periodically, the staff
and practitioner will review the continued relevance of each residents' medications. The attending Physician
and staff will identify target symptoms for which a resident is receiving various medications. The staff will
monitor for improvement in those target symptoms and provide the Physician with that information.
During a record review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Behavioral Health Services, dated
2/2019 and last reviewed on 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated, Behavioral health services are provided to
residents as needed as part of the interdisciplinary, person-centered approach to care.

Residents Affected - Some
Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) for five of nine sampled residents (Residents 25, 32, 41, 58, and 2) by failing:
1. To ensure Resident 25's Trelegy (a medication used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
[COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing] and asthma [a chronic lung disease that
makes breathing difficult in adult]) and two over-the-counter multidose medications were labeled with dates
the medications were opened for two of four medication carts reviewed.
2. To ensure Resident 32's physician order was followed. On 2/16/2025 at 7:43 a.m., LVN 1 administered
Norco (medication used to treat pain) to Resident 32 with a pain level of zero.
3. To accurately document Resident 41's Medication Count Sheet for clonazepam (a medication that treats
seizures and can also treat a panic disorder).
4. To ensure Resident 58's physician order was followed for potassium (a mineral that your body needs to
work properly) administration.
5. To ensure there was monitoring in place for Resident 2 for signs and symptoms of bleeding for the use of
heparin (an anticoagulant that prevent blood clots or keep an existing clot from getting worse).
These deficient practices had the potential for medication errors and to not give the necessary care and
services to the affected residents.
Findings:
a. During a concurrent medication administration observation and interview on 2/15/2025, at 8:16 a.m., with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), outside Resident 25's room. Observed Resident 25's Trelegy inhaler
with written open date of 2/3 and stool softener 100 milligram (mg- metric unit of measurement, used for
medication dosage and/or amount) with written open date of 2/13. LVN 3 stated Trelegy and stool softener
medication did not indicate the year medication was opened.
During a medication administration observation on 2/15/2025, at 8:39 a.m., with LVN 3, outside of Resident
58's room. Observed prostat (a ready-to-drink concentrated liquid protein) bottle with written open date of
2/13.
During an interview on 2/15/2025, at 8:57 a.m., LVN 3 stated prostat bottle did not indicate the year the
medication was opened.
During an interview on 2/17/2025, at 1:49 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated multidose medications should have a written date including the year it was opened. The DSD stated
the importance of writing the complete date was to maintain efficacy of the medication and to prevent
medication errors.

Residents Affected - Some
residents should have a physician's order to monitor residents for signs and symptoms of bleeding due to
the use of an anticoagulant. RN 1 stated there should have been a physician's order to monitor Resident 2
for signs and symptoms of bleeding as it placed Resident 32 at risk for untoward cardiac events and
hospitalization.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/17/2025 at 4:19 p.m., reviewed Resident 2's
physician's order and MAR with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated Resident 2 did
not have a physician's order to monitor the resident for signs of symptoms of bleeding and there was no
monitoring for bleeding in the MAR. The ADON stated the licensed nurse (LN) should also obtain a
physician's order for monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding every shift along with the order for
anticoagulant per facility protocol. The ADON stated the LN should have obtained an order for monitoring
for signs and symptoms of bleeding addressing Resident 2's use of heparin to prevent complications
related to not monitoring the symptoms of bleeding which may lead to hospitalization.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P titled, Anticoagulant - Clinical Protocol, last
reviewed 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated:
- Assess for any signs and symptoms related to adverse drug reactions due to the medication alone or in
combination with other medications.
- Assess for evidence of effects related to the subtherapeutic or greater than therapeutic drug level related
to that particular drug) for example, a resident with an above therapeutic level of an anticoagulation
medication should be assessed for bleeding.
- The nurse shall assess and document or report the current anticoagulant therapy, including drug and
current dosage.
- Long-term subcutaneous administration of heparin in chronically bed-bound individuals is not indicated or
of proven benefit for long-term deep vein thrombosis (DVT - a blood clot that forms in the veins located
deep within a limb, usually the lower leg or thigh) prophylaxis.
- The staff and physician will monitor for possible complications in individuals who are being anticoagulated
and will manage related problems.
a. If an individual on anticoagulation therapy shows signs of excessive bruising, or other evidence of
bleeding, the nurse will discuss the situation with the physician before giving the next scheduled dose.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Standards of Clinical Practice, last reviewed 1/14/2025, the P&P
indicated a policy statement that services provided to the residents are performed in accordance with
current acceptable standards of clinical practice.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Failed to act upon the recommendations of the consultant pharmacist for one of five sampled residents
(Resident 20) reviewed for Unnecessary Medications, Psychotropic (medications capable of affecting the
mind, emotions, and behavior) Medications, and Medication Regimen Review (MRR-a thorough evaluation
of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing
adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication) care area by failing to follow-up with
Resident 20's physician regarding the consultant pharmacist's MRR recommendation for a thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH- a blood test that measures this hormone) blood draw due to the resident's use
of amiodarone (medication used to treat life-threatening heart rhythm problems).
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 20 at risk for ineffective treatment or adverse
effects.
2. Failed to identify and report irregularities in the drug regimen with the attending physician for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 2) reviewed for Anticoagulant (commonly called blood thinner, that increase the
time it takes for blood to clot) use.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 2 to receive suboptimal (less than the highest
standard or quality) care due to unintended complications related to the side effects (unwanted, unpleasant
results of a medication) of anticoagulant use such as bleeding or bruising if not administered correctly
which may lead to hospitalization or even death.

During a review of Resident 20's MRR dated 12/4/2024, the MRR indicated resident takes amiodarone and
to consider doing (checking) TSH.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 3:13 p.m. with the MDS Coordinator
(MDSC), Resident 20's physician orders and laboratory results from 12/2024 to 2/16/2025 were reviewed.
The MDSC stated there was no TSH blood draw ordered from 12/1/2024 to 2/16/2025. The MDSC stated
there was also no baseline TSH blood draw done at the time of the resident's original admission.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 3:21 p.m., with the MDSC, Resident 20's
nursing progress notes from 12/3/2024 to 1/10/2025 were reviewed. The MDSC stated there were no notes
that Resident's MRR was relayed to the resident's physician for TSH blood draw. The MDSC stated the
MRR should have been relayed to the resident's physician and should been documented if the physician
would have the TSH blood draw done or not.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 6 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated when the
consultant pharmacist reviews a resident's medication regimen, the pharmacist provides a report to the
physician. The DON further stated the licensed nurses (LN) inform the resident's physician via fax or phone
call. The DON stated the LNs then receive a telephone order, whether the physician agrees or disagrees
with the pharmacist's recommendation. The DON stated the consultant pharmacist would conduct another
MRR the next month to review the residents' medications against the active medications. The DON stated
the pharmacist is part of the health team and has a perspective of the effects of medications to the
residents. The DON stated Resident 20's MRR for TSH blood draw would allow for monitoring the
therapeutic levels of amiodarone to determine amiodarone's potency (strength or effectiveness) to the
resident.
During a review of the facility-provided undated drug guide titled, Amiodarone Generic, the drug guide
indicated monitoring parameters include Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs- used for diagnosis and to monitor
treatment of common thyroid gland disorders which includes TSH and thyroid hormones T3 and T4 blood
tests) at baseline, then periodically.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Regimen Reviews (MRR) last
reviewed on 1/14/2025, the P&P indicated the goal of the MRR is to promote positive outcomes while
minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication . Within 24 hours of the
MRR, the consultant pharmacist provides a written report to the attending physicians for each resident
identified as having non-life-threatening medication irregularity. The report contains: a. the resident's name;
b. the name of the medication; c. the identified irregularity; and d. the pharmacist's recommendation. An
'irregularity' refers to the use of medications that is inconsistent with accepted pharmaceutical services
standards of practice; is not support by medical evidence; and/or impedes or interferes with achieving the
intended outcomes of pharmaceutical services. It may also include the use of medication without indication,
without adequate monitoring, in excessive doses, and or in the presence of adverse consequences.
2. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted Resident 2 on 2/8/2021 and readmitted the resident on 12/27/2024, with diagnoses including

prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure informed consent was obtained for one of
five sampled residents (Resident 32) when Resident 32's bupropion (medication used to treat depression [a
common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of
interest in activities once enjoyed]) dosage was increased.
This deficient practice had the potential to place the residents at risk for receiving unnecessary medication.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 32 on 5/17/2021, with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (a condition
where the brain does not function properly due to an underlying metabolic imbalance), generalized muscle
weakness and depression.
During a record review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P - a medical examination that involves a
doctor taking a patient's medical history, performing a physical exam, and documenting their findings),
dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 32 did not have the capacity to understand and make
decisions.
During a record review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated
12/15/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 32's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 32 was
on antidepressant (medications used to treat symptoms of depression).
During a record review of Resident 32's Physician Order, dated 12/19/2024, the Physician Order indicated
the following order:
1. bupropion hydrochloride extended release, give 150 milligrams (mg - metric unit of measurement, used
for medication dosage and/or amount) by mouth one time a day for depression manifested by lack of
motivation with activities of daily living.
2. discontinue bupropion hydrochloride extended release, 100 mg by mouth one time a day for depression
manifested by lack of motivation with activities of daily living.
During a record review of Resident 32's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation
record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident), dated
12/2024, the MAR indicated from 12/1/2024 to 12/18/2024, Resident 32 received bupropion 100 mg tablet
daily and on 12/19/2024, bupropion 150mg daily was started for Resident 32.
During a record review of Resident 32's Psychoactive Summary Sheet, dated 11/2024, for bupropion, the

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**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 (means the observed or identified preparation or administration of medications or biologicals which is
not in accordance with the prescriber's order, manufacturer's specifications, and accepted professional
standards):
Residents Affected - Some
1.
For one of one sampled resident (Resident 32) reviewed for insulin (a hormone that lowers the level of
glucose [a type of sugar] in the blood) by failing to rotate (a method to ensure repeated injections are not
administered in the same area) subcutaneous (beneath the skin) the insulin administration sites.
This deficient practice had the potential for adverse effect (unwanted, unintended result) of same site
subcutaneous administration of insulin such as excessive bruising, lipodystrophy (abnormal distribution of
fat) and cutaneous amyloidosis (is a condition in which clumps of abnormal proteins called amyloids build
up in the skin).
2.
For one of one sampled resident (Resident 2) reviewed for anticoagulant (commonly called blood thinner,
that increase the time it takes for blood to clot) use by:
a.
Failing to clarify that Resident 2's physician's order for heparin (an anticoagulant) did not indicate the route
of administration and the correct indication.
b.
Failing clarify the pharmacy label on the heparin did not match the physician's order and Medication
Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation record used by a LN to document medications and
treatments given to a resident) prior to administration of the medication.
These deficient practices had the potential to cause Resident 2 to receive suboptimal (less than the highest
standard or quality) care due to unintended complications related to the side effects (unwanted, unpleasant
results of a medication) of anticoagulant use such as bleeding or bruising if not administered correctly
which may lead to hospitalization or even death.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 1/24/2025 with diagnoses including type two (2) diabetes mellitus (DM 2 - a
disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), dementia (a progressive
state of decline in mental abilities), and generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Adverse Consequences and Med Errors, last reviewed on
1/14/2025, the P&P indicated:
Residents Affected - Some
A medication error is defined as preparation or administration of drugs or biologicals which is not in
accordance with physician's orders, manufacturer's specifications or accepted professional standards and
principles of the professionals providing services.
Example of medication error include wrong route of administration.
An adverse consequence is defined as an unpleasant symptom or event that is due to or associated with a
medication, such as impairment or decline in an individual's mental or physical condition or functional or
psychosocial status. An adverse consequence may include adverse drug/medication reaction and side
effect.
An adverse drug reaction is any unintended response to a drug and occurs in doses for prophylaxis,
diagnosis or therapy.
When a resident receives a new medication, the medication order is evaluated for the dose, route of
administration, duration, and monitoring that are in agreement with current clinical practice, clinical
guidelines, and/or manufacturer's specifications for use.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the menu and did not meet nutritional
needs of one of three sampled residents (Resident 38) reviewed under the kitchen care area.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in decreased food and nutrient intake which may result in
unintended (not planned) weight loss.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 38's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 38 was
admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including muscle weakness (generalized), adult failure to thrive (decline
in health that can occur in older people), and essential (primary) hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 38 Care Plan dated 10/5/2024, the Care Plan indicated the resident is at
nutritional risk secondary to failure to thrive. Interventions included diet as ordered, provide and honor food
preferences.
During a review of Resident 38's Order Summary dated 10/10/2024, the Order Summary indicated a
physician's order for no added salt diet, regular texture, and regular liquid consistency.
During a review of Resident 38's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 1/7/2025,
the MDS indicated the resident had the ability to understand and be understood.
During a review of the facility's menu titled, Good for your Health Menus, for 2/10/2025 to 2/16/2025, the
menu indicated the dinner menu for 2/15/2025 was:
Baked ziti
Green beans with onions and red peppers
Garlic bread
Butterscotch pears
During a concurrent observation of the tray line and interview with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) on
2/15/2025 at 4:37 p.m., the DS stated they substituted spinach for the green beans because there was an
issue with the delivery of the green beans.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 6:51 p.m. with Resident 38, observed
Resident 38 sitting up on bed with the food tray in front of her. Resident 38 stated corn was served instead
of green beans that was on the menu. Resident 38 stated she does not like corn and refuses to eat the
corn.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:18 p.m. with the DS, the DS stated she is the one in charge of
ordering food. The DS stated the dinner menu on 2/15/2025 needed to be green beans but a wrong item
(spinach) was sent. The DS stated when the menu is changed, they need to make a substitute for a
vegetable to vegetable and to be approved by the Registered Dietitian (RD). The DS stated they ran out of
spinach and so they substituted it with corn. The DS stated she was not aware that Resident 38 did not
want to eat the corn. The DS stated residents may get upset and frustrated because they did not get green
beans. The DS stated residents should have offered food substitute as they might be disappointed with the
menu pairing.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:26 p.m. with the RD, the RD stated she was aware corn was
substituted for spinach. The RD stated she approved the substitution. The RD stated since Resident 38 did
not eat the corn, the resident's intake can be affected.
During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled Menus, dated 1/14/2025, the P&P
indicated menus shall meet the nutritional needs of resident, be prepared in advance and be followed.
Deviation from menus that have already been posted will be noted in the kitchen and/or in the record book
used solely for recording such changes.
During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled Substitutions, dated 1/22/2025, the
P&P indicated, residents' likes and dislikes will be considered when making substitutions.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to maintain accurate and complete medical records
for one of four sampled residents (Resident 20).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to cause confusion in care and the medical records containing
inaccurate documentation.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 20's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted Resident 20 on 8/22/2023, with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (change in
how your brain works due to an underlying condition), diabetes mellitus (DM - a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) and unspecified (unconfirmed) cardiomyopathy (a
group of heart muscle diseases that weaken the heart's ability to pump blood effectively throughout the
body).
During a record review of Resident 20's History and Physical (H&P - a medical examination that involves a
doctor taking a patient's medical history, performing a physical exam, and documenting their findings),
dated 1/24/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 20 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a record review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment too), dated
11/20/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 20's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) skills for daily decisions were moderately impaired.
During a record review of Resident 20's Physician Order, dated 1/22/2025, the Physician Order indicated
Sacubitril-Valsartan ( a combination of two medication used to treat chronic heart failure [a condition where
the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump blood effectively]) oral tablet 24-26 milligram (mg - metric
unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount), give one tablet by mouth two times a
day for dilated cardiomyopathy (a type of heart muscle disease that causes the heart chambers to thin and
stretch, growing larger). Hold for systolic blood pressure (sbp - pressure in the arteries when the heart
beats) less than 110.
During a record review of Resident 20's 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, the MAR indicated, on 1/3/2025, at 5:00 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 administered
Sacubitril-Valsartan with a documented blood pressure of 18/62.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/15/2025, at 2:43 p.m., with LVN 2, Resident 20's
MAR, dated 1/2025, was reviewed. LVN 2 stated he meant to document 118/62 and not 18/62. LVN 2 stated
it was inaccurate documentation.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 1:49 p.m., with the Director of Staff development (DSD), the DSD
stated LVN 2 should have rechecked the blood pressure if it was low and document correctly.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 5:13 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated LVN 2
should have corrected his documentation. The DON stated the importance of accurate

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure necessary care was provided consistently for one of
one sampled resident (Resident 39) reviewed for hospice services (a program designed to provide a caring
environment for meeting the physical and emotional needs of the terminally ill) by failing to ensure there
was documented evidence that the resident and/or resident representative was involved during the initial
interdisciplinary team (IDT - a team of healthcare professionals from different professional disciplines who
work together to manage the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of the patient) meeting for
admission to discuss the hospice plan of care.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 39's physical comfort and
psychosocial well-being resulting in the delay or lack of necessary hospice care and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 39's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 39 was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted the resident on 4/27/2024 with diagnoses
including Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular
rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and
osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by a gradual loss of cartilage).
During a review of Resident 39's History and Physical (H&P) dated 4/28/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
39 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 39's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/30/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 39 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required substantial/maximal assistance with eating and bed mobility;
total assistance from staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be
accomplished every day for an individual to thrive). The MDS indicated Resident 39 received hospice
services.
During a review of Resident 39's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a
physician's order dated 1/21/2025 to admit Resident 39 to Hospice Provider 1 (HP 1) under routine level of
care with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
During a review of Resident 39's Current Treatment/Medication/Durable Medical Equipment (DME) list form
provided by HP 1 to the facility dated 1/23/2025, the Current/Medication/DME list form indicated IDT to
review patient's status every 14 days and as needed to evaluate changes in condition.
During a review of Resident 39's IDT Progress Note form dated 1/20/2025, the IDT Progress Note indicated
the participants were the Social Services Director (SSD), Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) Department, and
the Case Manager (CM).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/17 2025 at 8:27 a.m., reviewed Resident 39's IDT
Progress Note dated 1/20/2025 with the SSD. The SSD stated the IDT Progress Note indicated only facility

admission, quarterly, and with as needed with any changes in condition either in person or thru the
telephone. The SSD stated Resident 39's IDT Progress Note did not indicate Resident 39 and/or resident
representative were present in any portion of the IDT meeting. The SSD stated the progress note should
have indicated Resident 39 and/or the family was present during the IDT meeting to ensure Resident 39
and/or the family are aware of and involved in the development of Resident 39's plan of care and prevent
potential delay in providing the hospice services.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/17/2025 at 11:23 a.m., reviewed Resident 39's IDT
Progress Note dated 1/20/2025 with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated the IDT
Progress Note did not indicate that Resident 39 and/or his representative were present in any portion of the
IDT meeting. The ADON stated Resident 39 and/or his representative should have been present thru the
phone or in person to ensure that they were aware of and involved in the plan of care and the hospice
services Resident 39 will receive. The ADON stated if Resident 39 and/or the representative was not
involved in the development of the plan of care there could be potential delay in providing the necessary
hospice care and services Resident 39 needed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Hospice Program, last reviewed on
1/14/2025, the P&P indicated:
Coordinated care plans for residents receiving hospice services will include the most recent hospice plan of
care as well as the car and services provided by the facility to maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
The coordinated care plan will reflect the resident's goals, and wishes, and during ongoing communication
with the resident or representative, including goals and objectives, interventions, and medical treatment and
diagnostic tests.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Care Planning - Interdisciplinary Team, last reviewed on

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement infection control measures by failing to
ensure:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Prostat (supplement for dietary management of wounds and other conditions requiring increased protein)
bottle was kept in a clean and in sanitary condition before and after use for two of four sampled medication
carts (Medication Carts 1 and 4).
2. The Maintenance Director (MS) and the Infection Preventionist (IP) were able to identify signs of
legionella (a severe form of pneumonia - lung inflammation usually caused by infection) as indicated in the
legionella water management program.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in unidentified cases of legionella and the spread of
infection in the facility as well as prostat bottle contamination (the process of making something dirty).
Findings:
1. During a concurrent medication administration observation and interview, on 2/15/2025, at 9:11 a.m.,
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 5, outside of Resident 12's room LVN 5 pulled a Prostat bottle from
the bottom fourth (4th) drawer of Medication Cart number 1. The Prostat bottle had light brown drippings on
the side of the bottle. LVN 5 poured 30 milliliter (ml - unit of measurement) of Prostat in a medication cup
and closed the cover. LVN 5 held the Prostat bottle and stated the Prostat bottle was sticky. LVN 5 returned
the Prostat bottle in the bottom cart of the medication cart without cleaning the bottle.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/16/2025, at 9:15 a.m., with LVN 3, LVN 3 pulled a
Prostat bottle from the bottom 4th drawer of Medication Cart Number 1. The Prostat bottle had dried light
brown drippings on the side. LVN 3 stated the Prostat bottle is a little sticky to touch. LVN 3 stated nurses
should have cleaned the bottle after every use to prevent cross contamination.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/16/2025, at 9:21 a.m., with LVN 4, LVN 4 pulled a
Prostat bottle from the bottom 4th drawer of Medication Cart Number 4. The Prostat bottle had dried light
brown drippings on the side. LVN 4 stated the Prostat bottle was dirty and sticky. LVN 4 stated she did not
clean the Prostat bottle this morning. LVN 4 stated the importance of cleaning the Prostat bottle was for
infection control.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 1:49 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated if a medication bottle is sticky, staff should wipe it off and clean it.
During an interview, on 2/17/2025, at 5:13 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
needs to check their supplies in their medication carts and clean it before and after medication
administration for infection control.

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain mechanical, electrical, and
patient care equipment in safe operating condition for one (1) of three (3) sampled residents (Resident 32)
reviewed under the Environmental Task when Resident 32's bed controller (device used to change the
height and angle of the bed) cable was observed with chipped part at the base with the crews exposed.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 32 at risk for injury.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 32's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 1/24/2025 with diagnoses including muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle
mass and strength), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and generalized muscle
weakness.
During a review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/16/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 32 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 12/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 32 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required supervision or touching assistance with eating; total
assistance from staff with all other activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished
every day for an individual to thrive).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 9:18 a.m. inside Resident 32's room with
Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1), TN 1 stated the base of Resident 32's bed control box was chipped with the
screws exposed on both sides. TN 1 stated the maintenance department was responsible in rounding and
changing any resident device or equipment that is in disrepair. TN 1 stated he was not sure when the
maintenance department makes rounds and checks the rooms. TN 1 stated the staff was responsible to
notify the maintenance for any equipment or device that is in disrepair. TN 1 stated the maintenance
department will be notified to change Resident 32's bed control. TN 1 stated Resident 32's bed control
should have been changed for the resident's safety as Resident 32 can get injured from the chipped base
of the bed control box and the exposed screws.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 4:55 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated if staff observed any equipment, devices, or furnishing in the room that is in disrepair such as
broken, the maintenance department should be notified immediately to change the device, equipment, or
furnishings. The ADON stated residents are provided with a safe, clean, functioning equipment, furnishings
while residing in the facility as the facility is already their home.
During an interview on 2/17/2025 at 5 p.m. with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the MS stated the
maintenance department makes regular rounds of rooms and checks if all the call lights and bed controls
are working and in good condition. The MS stated the maintenance department repairs and replaces them
(call lights and bed controls) as needed if not working and/or broken. The MS stated the staff were
supposed to notify him if a bed control is broken or the call light is not working so they can replace the
equipment as soon as possible.
