Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 11:22 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the
resident's call light or pad sensor should be placed next to the resident's strong arm and hand so that the
resident could call for assistance and staff could assist the resident timely.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Answering the Call Light, dated 10/2010,
the P&P indicated when the resident is in bed or confined to a chair, be sure the call light is within easy
reach of the resident. The P&P indicated to answer the resident's call light as soon as possible.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure call lights were within reach
for four of four sampled residents (Residents 7, 9,12 and 23).
These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 7, 9,12 and 23 not to receive necessary care or
receive delayed services, placing the residents at risk for falls or injury.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 12's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 12 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hemiplegia
(paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (muscular weakness of one half of the body) following
cerebral infarction (type of ischemic [deficient supply of blood] stroke [sudden death of brain cells in a
localized area due to inadequate blood flow] resulting from a blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood
to the brain) affecting left non-dominant side and osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused
by a gradual loss of cartilage).
During a review of Resident 12's Fall Risk Assessment (FRA - method of assessing a patient's likelihood of
falling) dated 11/2/2022, the FRA indicated Resident 12 was assessed as high risk for fall due to
intermittent confusion, unable to assess gait/balance and presence of predisposing disease condition.
During a review of Resident 12's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 4/11/2023, the Care Plan indicated
Resident 12 was at risk for fall secondary to history of falls, impaired balance and recent cerebrovascular
accident (CVA, blood flow to a part of the brain is stopped either by a blockage or the rupture of a blood
vessel).The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep the resident's call light within easy reach
and encourage the resident to call for assistance.
During a review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 9/16/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 12 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident
12 was dependent (helper did all the effort and lifted or held trunk or limbs) to staff for oral/toileting hygiene,
shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 10:15 am, in Resident 12's room, Resident 12 was awake, lying in
bed. Resident 12's call light was hanging on the left side rail of the bed.

Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated, Resident 12 was unable to reach the call light because it
was hanging on the left side rail. The IPN stated Resident 12's call light needed to be within reach for
Resident 12 to use to call the staff if Resident 12 needed help in case of emergency or if the resident
needed assistance from the facility staff.
b. During a review of Resident 23's AR, the AR indicated Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included paraplegia (impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities)
and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 23's untitled CP dated 11/1/2024, the CP indicated Resident 23 was at risk for
fall secondary to paraplegia. The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep the resident's call light
and bed controls within easy reach, answer the call light in a timely manner and encourage the resident to
call for assistance.
During a review of Resident 23's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 23 had moderately

participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide information regarding Advance Directive (AD, a
written preferences regarding treatment options, a process of communication between individuals and their
healthcare agents when individuals are not able to make their own healthcare decisions) for two of two
sampled residents (Residents 11 and 25) in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled
Advance Directives.
This failure had the potential for the facility staff to provide services and treatment against the residents'
choices.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 11's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
11 on 10/9/2021 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dependence on supplemental

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 ensure the Low Air Loss (LAL) mattress
(Alternating Pressure Mattress which provides alternating pressure and is designed to be used in the
prevention, treatment and management of pressure injury [PI- a localized damage to the skin and
underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence]) was set up accurately based on the resident's
weight for one of two sampled residents (Resident 10).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential risk for Resident 10 to develop PI.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 10's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 10 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic
lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty
in blood sugar control).
During a review of Resident 10's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 11/1/2024, the OSR indicated
Resident 10 had an order for LAL mattress for wound management.
During a review of Resident 10's Weight Summary (WS), the WS indicated on 11/12/2024, Resident 10
weighed 162 lbs.
During a review of Resident 10's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated
11/15/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 10 had clear speech, sometimes understood others, and
sometimes made self-understood. The MDS indicated Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all of the
effort) for toileting hygiene and chair/bed-chair transfer.
During an observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:33 am, in Resident 10's room, Resident 10 was
lying in bed on a LAL mattress and the LAL mattress controller (model-Proactive 4000 series) had a weight
indicator at 280 pounds (lbs.)
During an observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 2:41 pm, in Resident 10's room, Resident 10 was
lying in bed sleeping. Resident 10's LAL mattress controller indicated 280 lbs. During a concurrent
interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated, Resident 10's LAL was set at 280 lbs. and Resident
10's actual weight was 162 lbs. LVN 3 stated, Resident 10 was bed bound and had history of PI. LVN 3
stated, the LAL set up for Resident 10 should be based on Resident 10's weight for wound management to
prevent recurrence of PI.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 9:43 am with the facility's Treatment Nurse (TN), the TN stated, staff
should set Resident 10's LAL mattress by weight per manufacturer's recommendation so that the mattress
would alternate and provide proper relief of body's pressure points to prevent possible PI to Resident 10.
During a review of the Proactive Operation Manual for Resident 10's LAL mattress, the manual indicated
Users can adjust air mattress to a desired firmness according to patient's weight or the suggestion from
health care professional.

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. During a
review of Resident 53's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 53 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included muscle weakness and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 53's Admission/readmission Initial Assessment, dated 10/25/2024, the
admission Assessment indicated, Resident 53's fall risk assessment score was 14. A total score of 10 or
above represents a high risk for falls.
During a review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 10/28/2024,
the MDS indicated, Resident 53 had clear speech, rarely/never understood others, and rarely/never made
self-understood. The MDS further indicated Resident 53 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper
does more than half the effort) for toilet hygiene and chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
During a review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report dated 11/1/2024, the Order Summary indicated,
Low bed with gym mats as least restrictive measure due to fall risk.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 9:46 am, while in Resident 53's room, Resident 53 was lying in
bed awake. Resident 53's bed was in a high position and the floor mats were at each side of Resident 53's
bed. The floor mat on the right side of Resident 53's bed was two feet away from the edge of the bed.
During a continued observation and concurrent interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:12 am, in Resident 53's
room, there was no change in Resident 53's bed position lever and floor mats. Licensed Vocational Nurse 3
(LVN 3) stated, Resident 53's bed was not at its lowest position and the right floor mat was too far away
from Resident 53's bedside. LVN 3 stated, if Resident 53 fell on the right side, Resident 53 would not land
on the floor mat. LVN 3 stated, Resident 53 was newly admitted to this facility and had a history of falls. LVN
3 stated, Resident 53's bed should be placed at the lowest position, and the floor mats should be placed
close to Resident 53's bedside so Resident 53 could land on the floor mat to cause less of an impact on the
body if there is a fall. LVN 3 stated, these measures were to prevent the resident from sustaining injuries
after a fall.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Fall Risk Assessment, revised 11/2023,
the P&P indicated The staff will seek to identify environmental factors that may contribute to falling, such as
lighting and room layout. The staff and attending physician will collaborate to identify and address
modifiable fall risk factors and interventions to try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not
modifiable.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents had an
environment free from accident hazards(risks) for two of five sampled residents (Residents 7 and 53) by
failing to:
a. Ensure Resident 7's bilateral 1/4 siderails were padded as ordered by the physician.
b. Ensure Resident 53's floor mat (used to reduce fall related trauma if a patient gets up from bed, loses
balance, and falls to the floor) was close to the bed and the resident's bed lowered at the lowest position.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services for a
resident with Foley catheter (a medical device that helps drain urine from the bladder) in accordance with
the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) on catheter care for one of one sampled resident (Resident 9).
This failure had the potential to result in catheter-related complications for Resident 9.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 9's admission Records (AR), the AR indicated Resident 9 was initially admitted
to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (UTIan infection of the bladder/urinary tract) and chronic kidney disease (characterized by progressive damage
and loss of function in the kidneys).
During a review of Resident 9's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 11/20/2023, the CP indicated, Resident 9
had an indwelling catheter. The CP interventions included to check the tubing for kinks each shift.
During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 10/6/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 9 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand) and dependent
(helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral and toileting
hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 9 had
an indwelling catheter (foley catheter).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/20/2024 at 2:14 pm with the Treatment Nurse (TN)
inside Resident 9's room, Resident 9 was in bed, lying on his left side with a Foley catheter. The Foley
catheter tubing was kinked where the tubing and the catheter was connected. The TN stated, Resident 9's
Foley catheter tubing should be straight and free from kinks to prevent backflow of urine and cause UTI to
the resident.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 12:15 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
Foley catheter tubing should be clear and straight and not kinked to allow urine to flow downward freely
from the bladder and prevent back up of urine and cause UTI to the resident.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, revised September 2014, the P&P
indicated, Check the resident frequently to be sure he or she is not lying on the catheter and to keep the
catheter and tubing free of kinks.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. During a
review of Resident 26's AR, the AR indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included gastrostomy and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in
blood sugar control and poor wound healing).
During a review of Resident 26's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 26 had unclear speech,
sometimes understood others, and sometimes made self-understood. Resident 26 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) in toileting hygiene and chair/bed-chair transfer.
During a review of Resident 26's OSR dated 11/1/2024, the OSR indicated, Every shift continuous water
via GT Administer 40ml/hr. (milliliter/hour) for 20 hours using enteral pump for a total of 800ml in 24 hours.
On at 12 pm, off at 8 am or until total volume is complete.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 12:48 pm, in Resident 26's room, Resident 26 was sitting up in bed
having lunch. The enteral pump was at the bedside with 100 ml's of water left inside the water bag. There
was no infusion of water at this time.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 2:41 pm, in Resident 26's room, Resident 26 was in bed sleeping.
The enteral pump was not started with the water infusion. During a concurrent interview, Licensed
Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) stated, LVN 3 turned the GT feeding pump off at 8 am and did not start the
infusion of water afterwards. LVN 3 stated, LVN 3 did was not aware that Resident 26 had a physician's
order for a water infusion at 40ml/hr. for 20 hours which should start at 12 pm. LVN 3 stated, per the
physician's order, LVN 3 should start the water infusion at 40ml/hr. at 12 pm. LVN 3 stated, LVN 3 did not
follow the physician's order for Resident 26. LVN 3 stated, it was important to provide water to Resident 26
to keep the resident hydrated to avoid electrolytes imbalance. LVN 3 stated, the nurse should review the
physician's order and carry it out.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/19/2024 at 2:52 pm, the DON stated, nurses
should follow the physician's order to provide water at 40ml/hr. via the enteral pump for 20 hours for 24
hours. The DON stated, this was to prevent Resident 26 from dehydration (body loses more fluid than
intake) and for resident safety and quality of care.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Enteral Nutrition revised 11/2018, the P&P
indicated Adequate nutritional support through enteral nutrition is provided to residents as ordered. The
decision to continue or discontinue the use of the feeding tube is made through collaboration between the
interdisciplinary team, the provider, and the resident. The nurse conforms that orders for enteral nutrition
are complete including: instructions for flushing [solution, volume, frequency, timing and 24-hour volume.])
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and
services for gastrostomy tube (GT, a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to
the stomach) site as ordered by the physician and as indicated in the plan of care for three of four sampled
residents (Residents 1, 26 and 36).
These failures had the potential for complications related to tube feedings for Residents 1, 26 and 36.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to label and date the intravenous (IV,
administered into a vein) site consistent with professional standards of practice for one of one sampled
resident (Resident 157).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in infection to Resident 157.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 157's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 157 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone and bone marrow
due to infection) and left foot amputation (a surgical procedure that removes a limb or other body part).
During a review of Resident 157's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 11/13/2024, Resident 157 had an
order of Ceftriaxone (Antibiotic-medication to treat infection) 2 grams (gm, a unit of measurement) IV, once
a day for osteomyelitis to left foot amputation.
During a review of Resident 157's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 11/17/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 157 had intact cognition (ability to understand) and dependent (helper did all of
the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with toileting hygiene, shower, upper and
body dressing.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 10:29 am inside Resident 157's room, Resident 157 had an IV site
on the resident's right forearm. The IV site was not labeled and dated when it was started. The IV tubing
port was not capped nor covered.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 11:50 am with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), RNS stated, the
IV access should be labeled and dated when it was started and initialed with the nurse who started the IV
to determine when the IV was started and when to change. RNS stated IV tubing port should be capped
and covered to prevent infection.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 11:24 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated IV
access could be used for seven days. The DON stated IV access should be dated with date of insertion and
initialed with the nurse who started it to identify when the IV access should be changed or needed to rotate
the insertion site. The DON further stated, the IV tubing port should be covered with a cap for infection
control purposes.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Peripheral IV Catheter Insertion, revised

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 staff failed to label the nasal cannula (NC- tube which
on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils to deliver oxygen) tubing for one of two
sampled residents (Resident 41).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in infection to Resident 41.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 41 was readmitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dependence on supplemental oxygen and dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing).
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 10/31/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 41 had no speech, rarely/never understood others,
and rarely/never made self-understood. Resident 41 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) for
personal hygiene and chair/bed-chair transfer.
During a review of Resident 41's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 11/1/2024, the OSR indicated
Resident 41 was ordered oxygen at two liters per minute via NC continuously for shortness of breath, every
shift.
During an observation on 11/19/2024 at 9:43 am, Resident 41 was lying in a recliner chair in the Activity
Room with eyes opened. Resident 41 had ongoing oxygen via NC running at two liters per minute. During a
concurrent interview with the facility's Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated Resident 41's NC
should be labeled with a date when the NC was applied to the resident. The IPN stated the NC should be
changed weekly for infection control purposes. The IPN stated, without labeling the NC, staff would not
know when the NC was applied and when it was due to be changed.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to attempt the use of appropriate alternatives to
siderails before its installation for two of two sampled residents (Residents 9 and 39 ).
These failures placed Residents 9 and 39 at risk for entrapment and injury from the use of siderails.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 39's admission Records (AR), the AR indicated Resident 39 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included depression (loss
of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time) and compression fracture (occurs when one or
more bones in the spine weaken and crumple) of first lumbar vertebrae.
During a review of Resident 39's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 9/30/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 39 had intact cognition (ability to understand) and required partial/moderate
assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, upper body dressing and personal
hygiene. Resident 39 required maximum assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with toileting,
shower, and lower body dressing.
During a review of Resident 39's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 9/14/2024, the OSR indicated
Resident 39 had an order for bilateral ¼ side rails for bed mobility.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:18 am with Licensed Vocational Nurse
2 (LVN 2) inside Resident 39's room, Resident 39 was in bed, lying on his back with ¼ siderails up
on both sides of the bed. LVN 2 stated Resident 39 was alert and oriented.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/20/2024 at 12:32 pm with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS), Resident 39's medical records (chart) and PointClickCare (PCC, a cloud-based
software) were reviewed. The RNS stated there were no documented evidence that appropriate alternatives
were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 39 before the siderails were installed. RNS stated
other options appropriate for mobility for Resident 39 included the use of trapeze. RNS stated the facility
should have tried other least restrictive appropriate options before the installation of siderails to prevent the
risk of entrapment and injury to Resident 39.
b. During a review of Resident 9's AR, the AR indicated Resident 9 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (a brain
dysfunction caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood), hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and
trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness on one side of the body).
During a review of Resident 9's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 9 had severely impaired
cognition and dependent (helper did all of the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity)
with oral and toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. The MDS
indicated Resident 9 had an indwelling catheter (thin, sterile tube inserted into

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a review of Resident 9's OSR dated 6/12/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 9 had an order for
bilateral ¼ siderails for bed mobility.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/19/2024 at 10:25 am with LVN 2 inside Resident 9's
room, Resident 9 was in bed, lying on his back with ¼ siderails up on both sides of the bed. LVN 2
stated Resident 9 was confused.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/20/2024 at 12:32 pm with RNS, Resident 9's
medical records and PCC were reviewed. RNS stated, there were no documented evidence that
appropriate alternatives were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 9 before the siderails were
installed. RNS stated Resident 9 had contracture (a stiffening/shortening at any joint, that reduces the
joint's range of motion) of upper extremities and not able to use the siderails for turning and repositioning.
RNS stated the facility should have tried other least restrictive appropriate options before the installation of
siderails to prevent risk of entrapment and injury to Resident 9.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 11:28 am with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
least restrictive alternatives should have been attempted and did not meet the resident's needs prior to
installation and use of side rails for the safety of Residents 9 and 39.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails, revised
August 2022, the P&P indicated, The use of bed rails or side rails (including temporary raising the side rails
for episodic use during care) is prohibited unless the criteria for use have been meet, including attempts to
use alternatives, interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment, and informed consent.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to include the census information on the daily shift
staffing posting for three of three recertifications days inspected (11/19/2024, 11/20/2024, and 11/21/2024).
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice of posting incomplete daily shift staffing information could mislead the residents and
visitors and potentially affect the quality of nursing care provided to the residents.
Findings:
During a review of the facility's daily shift staffing posting dated 11/19/2024, 11/20/2024, and 11/21/2024,
the daily shift staffing posting information included the name of the facility, the date for which the
information was posted, type and category of nursing staff working during the shift, the projected and actual
hours worked during the shift for each category and the nursing staff.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 11:02 am with the Lobby Receptionist (LR), LR stated she was
responsible for completing and posting the daily shift staffing. LR stated the daily shift staffing posting
should include the census information at the beginning of the shift to ensure the facility had enough staff to
care for the number of residents, every shift. LR stated the daily shift staffing information was posted for the
staff and residents to be aware of the number of employees working every shift.
During an interview on 11/21/2024 at 12:17 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated, the daily shift staffing posting should include the census information to determine if there was
enough staff working to care for the residents, on every shift.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing
Numbers, revised July 2016, the P&P indicated, Shift staffing information shall be recorded on the Nursing
Staff Directly Responsible for Residents Care form for each shift. The information recorded on the form
shall include the name of the facility, the date for which the information is posted, the resident census at the
beginning of the shift for which the information is posted, twenty-four (24) hour shift schedule operated by
the facility, the shift for which the information is posted, type (RN, LPN, LVN, or CNA) and category
(licensed or non-licensed) of nursing staff working during that shift, the actual time worked during that shift
for each category and type of nursing staff and total number of licensed and non-licensed nursing staff
working for the posted shift.

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 failed to follow up on the pharmacist's 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 associated with medication.) recommendations of the
physician evaluating the use of Cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxant medicine) in the elderly for one of five
sampled residents (Resident 10).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the resident receiving unnecessary medications and not
maintaining the resident's highest practicable level of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being and not
preventing or minimizing adverse consequences related to medication therapy to the extent possible.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 10's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 10 was
admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic
lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty
in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).
During a review of Resident 10's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated
11/15/2024, indicated Resident 10 had clear speech, sometimes understood others, and sometimes made
self-understood. Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) in toileting hygiene and
chair/bed-chair transfer.
During a review of the facility's MRR for recommendations between 9/1/2024 and 9/24/2024, for Resident
10, the MRR indicated, This patient currently has order for Cyclobenzaprine/Flexeril PRN (as needed) as a
muscle relaxant. Unfortunately, Flexeril has been characterized by OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act, AKA Nursing Home reform act of 1987) as an 'Inappropriate drug therapy' in the elderly due to this
anticholinergic/sedative side effects and being poorly tolerated by the geriatric population. Although the
medication maybe beneficial and no side effects warranted, your evaluation is necessary in order to keep
the facility in compliance.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 1:28 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, the DON was in
charge of reviewing and acting upon the facility's monthly MRR report from the pharmacist. The DON
stated, the MRR for Resident 10 's Cyclobenzaprine use should be followed up by sending the
recommendation to the prescribing physician for evaluation as indicated by the MRR. The DON stated,
there was no documentation in Resident 10's medical record that indicated this MRR recommendation had
been addressed. The DON stated it was missed. The DON stated, the pharmacist's monthly MRR should
be acted upon within 3 to 5 days after receiving the report and sent to the physician as needed. The DON
stated, if nursing staff do not receive a response from the physician within 24 hours, the nursing staff
should do a follow up call. The DON stated these measures were to prevent unnecessary medication to be
given to residents for their health, safety, and quality of life.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Medication Regimen Reviews, revised 5/2019,
the P&P indicated The goal of the MRR is to promote positive outcomes while minimizing adverse
consequences and potential risks associated with medications. The medication regimen and associated

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
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 offer pneumococcal vaccine that protects against serious
and potentially fatal pneumococcal disease that is caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae
(pneumococcus)] based on the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s recommended
schedule guidelines for one of five sampled residents (Resident 10).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in leaving residents at risk of acquiring, transmitting, or experiencing
complications from pneumococcal disease.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 10's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 10 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD, a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).
During a review of Resident 10's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated
11/15/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 10 had clear speech, sometimes understood others, and
sometimes made self-understood. Resident 10 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) for toileting
hygiene and chair/bed-chair transfer.
During a review of the facility's line list for required vaccines for residents, the line list indicated, Resident 10
received PPSV23 pneumococcal vaccine on 5/9/2014 and Prevnar13 pneumococcal vaccine on 2/16/2019.
During a review of the current CDC's Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults (PVTA, pneumococcal
vaccine schedule guideline/recommendation), the PVTA indicated, adults might choose to receive PCV20
pneumococcal vaccine if they received their PCV13 at any age and PPSV23 after [AGE] years old, for more
than five years.
During an interview on 11/20/2024 at 10:53 am, the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) stated, the IPN stated
Resident 10 was due for a PCV 20 pneumococcal vaccine in 2/2024, which was more than five years after
the last Prevnar13 pneumococcal vaccine in 2/2019 per CDC recommended guideline for pneumococcal
vaccine. The IPN stated, the IPN had missed to inform Resident 10 or Resident 10's responsible party that
Resident 10's pneumococcal vaccine was not up to date, and Resident 10 might have the option to receive
another dose. The IPN stated, it was important to provide residents up to date pneumococcal vaccine to
prevent them from pneumonia (lung infection) which could lead to hospitalization.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Pneumococcal Vaccine, revised 3/2023,
the P&P indicated All residents will be offered pneumococcal vaccine to aid in preventing
pneumonia/pneumococcal infections. Pneumococcal vaccine will be administered to residents (unless
medically contraindicated, history unknown, or refused) per our facility's physician-approved pneumococcal
vaccination protocol. Administration of the pneumococcal vaccines or revaccinations will be made in
accordance with current CDC recommendations at the time of the vaccination.
