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
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to develop and revise care plans to meet the
medical needs for two of eight residents sampled (Resident 7 and Resident 6) when:1. Resident 7's bladder
incontinence (inability to hold urine) was not reflected on her care plan.2. Resident 6 had no care plan
developed that addressed her heart condition.These failures had the potential to result in negative clinical
outcomes for Resident 6 and Resident 7, by not receiving the care and services they needed.Findings:
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure titled, Comprehensive Care Policy effective 3/27/25, indicated
the facility shall ensure a comprehensive care plan will be implemented for each skilled nursing facility
resident that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet a resident's medical, nursing and
mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. 6. The care plan will
include the following information: b. All identified medical, physical and psychosocial problems, concerns
and needs specific to the resident. Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to properly identify a resident's
needs, with the help of IDT, to implement a plan of action to further improve a resident's quality of life.
A review of Resident 7's admission Record indicated Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included dementia, urinary frequency (having to urinate frequently), and high blood
pressure.
A review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and screening tool) dated
7/10/25, indicated Resident 7 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, cognitive screening tool scored
from 0 to 15) with a score of 9 (moderate cognitive impairment). MDS section H indicated that Resident 7
was always continent (full control) of her bladder. A comparison MDS of section H dated 10/08/25, indicated
Resident 7 was occasionally incontinent, a decline from the previous MDS on 7/10/25.
During interview on 12/10/25 at 4:52 pm, with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) C, CNA C stated Resident
7 gets up and uses the bathroom frequently. CNA C stated Resident 7 was toileted every two hours, but
needs to go more frequently than that.
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 7's care plans and MDS assessments on 12/11/25
at 10:19 am, with Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDS) A, MDS A confirmed Resident 7 had a decline in her
ability to control her urinary continence and the care plan had not been revised to reflect that.
During an interview and record review of Resident 7's care plans on 12/11/25 at 10:40 am, the

Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident 7's bladder care plan had not reflected her current status
and should have been revised to include that Resident 7 has incontinent episodes.
2. Review of Resident 6's medical record indicated that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including atrial fibrillation (a cardiac condition which causes an irregular and often very fast
heartbeat that can cause poor blood flow) and hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure: a major risk factor
for worsening cardiac conditions).
Review of Resident 6's MDS, dated [DATE], and completed by the Director of Nursing (DON), indicated that
Resident 6 had a BIMS score of 12 indicating moderate cognitive impairment.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 6's care plan on 12/10/25 at 12:53 pm, with
the DON, the DON confirmed that there was not a cardiac care plan developed for Resident 6, and there
should have been.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interview and record review, this requirement was not met when the facility failed to obtain the
services of a registered nurse for eight consecutive hours, seven days a week. This had the potential to
adversely affect residents' care, which could lead to potential negative clinical outcomes.Findings:During a
concurrent interview and record review on 12/10/25 at 8:29 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), of the
facility's Registered Nurse (RN) staffing/schedule documentation from the period of 4/1/25 to 4/30/25 and
5/1/25 to 5/31/25 the documentation indicated that no RN was scheduled to work 4/16/25, 4/17/25, 4/18/25,
and 5/26/25 when the DON was off. The DON confirmed that RN coverage was provided by RN E (a nurse
from the hospital side of the facility down the hallway) on 4/16/25, 4/17/25, and 4/18/25 and that RN
coverage was provided by RN F (a nurse from the hospital side of the facility down the hallway) on 5/26/25.
The DON indicated that if the Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) needed help they could get an RN from
the hospital down the hall. The DON indicated that the facility would need to apply for the federal waiver for
RN coverage.During the during the resident council meeting (a meeting for residents to voice their
concerns regarding living in a facility) on 12/9/25 at 1:54 p.m., there were no complaints about staffing
issues.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure controlled medications
(medications with high potential for abuse and addiction) verification process was accurately completed for
one of four medication carts when the medication verification documentation was not signed with two (2)
licensed nurses. This failure had the potential to cause the diversion (illegal distribution of controlled drugs
for any illicit use) of controlled medications by staff, compromising the facility's ability to ensure safe and
appropriate medication management for its patients. Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure titled, Medication Administration, dated 5/29/2025, indicated, that controlled substances will be
counted at the change of each shift by the licensed on-coming and off-coming nurses and that each nurse
will be responsible for assuring the completion of the record. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/10/25 at 11:27 am with Licensed Nurse (LN) B, the facility's narcotic reconciliation (the
comparison of controlled medication counts against medication records) record titled Narcotic End of
Shift-Date, found on the facility medication cart was reviewed. The record indicated that documentation was
not completed on 8/13/25, 9/17/25, 10/14/25, 10/20/25, 10/28/25, 11/11/25, and 12/2/25. LN B confirmed
that the documentation was incomplete, and that controlled medication reconciliation must be completed at
the change of each shift and documented. During an interview on 12/10/25 at 3:15 pm with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON confirmed that the expectation is that controlled medication is reconciled at the
end and beginning of each shift and confirmation is documented.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and maintain infection control
practices to prevent the transmission of infection when: 1. Staff failed to ensure proper hand hygiene and
clean administration technique during the administration of eye drops to for one of 16 sample residents
(Resident 8). 2. The facility failed to ensure the ice machine used by residents was maintained in a clean
and sanitary condition, free from contamination. These deficient practices had the potential to put the
residents at risk for unwanted infections, and negatively impact their quality of life.Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration, dated 5/29/2025,
indicated, that standard universal precautions, which include hand washing using soap and water or the
hospital supplied hand antiseptic cleaner will be completed prior to and following all medication passes and
after physical contact with residents.
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record indicated that Resident 8 was admitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included aphasia (a disorder that makes it difficult to speak), cerebrovascular accident
(CVA-stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of the brain), high blood pressure, memory loss, and hypertensive
retinopathy (damage to the eye caused by high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 8's medication order record, with a start date of 6/5/23, the order indicated
Resident 8 was to receive Dorzolamide-Timolol Ophthalmic (an eye drop medication), 1 drop in the left eye,
twice daily.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/11/25 at 9:42 am, with Licensed Nurse (LN) B, LN B
was observed administering medication to Resident 8 and administering eye medication without performing
hand hygiene (washing hands), changing gloves, or ensuring Resident 8's eye was clean before putting the
eye drops in. LN B confirmed that hand hygiene should have been performed and that the eye should have
been cleaned prior to medication administration.
During an interview on 12/11/25 at 9:55 am, with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON confirmed that
proper hand hygiene is required prior to medication administration and that the eye should be cleaned
before administering eye drops.
2. A review of a facility ice machine service manual titled, HID312, HID525 and HID540 dated March 2025,
indicated that the ice machine was to be cleansed with a scale (mineral build-up that can harbor bacteria),
remover mixed with water every 6 months.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/11/2025 at 9:05 am, the Maintenance Director (Main)
D, confirmed the presence of a visible white and black substance present along the interior surface of the
ice machine dispenser and that the ice came into direct contact with that substance during dispensing.
Main D stated they follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean the ice machine every six months, but
that area of the machine had never been cleaned.
