F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 inspection of the facility's Medication storage room on Unit 3, interview with the facility's IP, and review of the facility's policy and procedures the facility failed to: 1. follow their policy and procedure for sharps waste, 2. ensure that Emergency Drug supplies (E-Kits), had not been opened for more than 72 hours as outlined in the facility's policy and procedure, 3. ensure that no expired medications were available for use, 4. ensure that medications were administered in accordance with the hospital's policies and procedures and 5. ensure that medications are immediately documented in the Medication Administration record (MAR) after the administration of medications to a resident. Findings include: 1) Inspection of the facility's Blue and white (non-controlled) waste containers (which were open, and not closed or sealed), the surveyor found three syringes full of drugs with needles still attached to the syringes. One syringe contained the dilutant for Glucagon (1 ml) and the other two syringes contained (Enoxaparin 40mg/0.4 ml). Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (also known as an anticlotting drug). During an interview with the facility's Infection Prevention Nurse (IP) on 3/4/2025 at 10:35 am, the IP stated that the facility's P & P indicates that sharps (needle syringes) are not to be put into these containers (non-controlled waste bins), which were open and not locked. [NAME] indicated that the facility's policy and procedure labeled syringe and needle disposal, dated 1/2025 read: Policy, used syringes and needles are disposed of safely and in accordance with applicable state laws and safety regulations .Immediately after use, syringes and needles are placed into a puncture resistant, one-way containers specifically designed for that purpose .the disposal containers are fitted with a lid that prohibits reaching into the container. 2) Further inspection of the medication storage room on Unit 3 revealed an Antibiotic Emergency drug kit (E-Kit). This E-kit had been opened on 2/24/2025 at 5:00 pm when one of the facility's nursing staff had retrieved Metronidazole 500mg capsules for unsampled resident 65. This emergency drug kit had not been replaced since it had originally been opened on 2/24/2025. This E-Kit had not been replaced, as outlined in the facility's policy and procedure for 8 days, after opening. Review of the facility's policy and procedure entitled: Emergency Kit (E-Kit) Use, dated 1/2025, read: 6. The pharmacy is to be notified as soon as possible that the E-Kit has been opened so that it can be replaced within 72 hours (3 days). Additional inspection of the facility's Narcotic E-Kit on station 3, revealed that this E-Kit had been opened by facility staff for the removal of Alprazolam 0.25 mg tablets on 2/20/2025 at 1:00 am for one resident. The Narcotic E-Kit had been opened for 12 days, without being replaced, contrary to the facility's policy and procedure above. 3) Inspection of the Director of Nurse's medication storage room on 3/4/2025 at 2:55 pm, revealed one case of Ceftazidime 2-gram vials for reconstitution and injection (a total of 10 vials), with an expiration date of 7/2024 (almost 8 months beyond the drug manufacturer's expiration date). 4) Interview with the medication Nurse on the facility's subacute station on 3/5/2025 and 3/6/2025 between 8:25 am and 11:00 am, revealed that these medication nurses (LVNs 1 & 3), indicated that all (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555066 If continuation sheet Page 13 of 20 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555066 B.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some of the medication Nurses, on all of the Nursing units within the facility, have to start passing their medications to the residents, as early as 7:20 am and/or as late as 7:40 am (for medications which are due at 9:00 am according to the physician orders), in order for the nurses to finish their medication administration tasks in the morning, around 11:00 or 11:15 am. Concurrent interviews with Nursing staff on Stations 1, 3, and 4 confirmed that they all have to start passing medications every morning about 7:20 am. When these Nurses were asked why they had to start medication pass every day outside of the facility's policy and procedure which is entitled: Policy and procedure in Medication Administration, dated 1/2025, read: 4. Medication must and administered within one hour before or after administration time per M.D. order. The 1 hour before or 1 hour after policy and procedure means that the medication nurse could start passing their medications to the residents at 8:00 am and they must complete their medication pass by 10:00 am. The facility's policy and procedure above also read: 13. All medications will be administered following the scheduled medication administration for routine medication unless otherwise specified by M.D. which is different from the routine medication administration schedule. Review of the current physician's orders revealed that, no physician orders had been written which specified any different times for the administration of any medications. All of the Nurses indicated that it was impossible for them to pass all of the morning medications timely, for the following reasons: 1. each medication Nurse was also responsible for administering all of the treatments on their station, 2. these medication Nurses were also responsible for any admissions which came onto the unit, 3. medication Nurses were responsible for addressing any resident falls which occurred on their units, 4. Receiving and accepting any new medications and emergency drug kits which are being delivered to the facility, these are just a few examples why these Medication Nurses are unable to provide the morning medications to the residents. Further interview the Medication Nurses revealed that if the Medication Nurses had additional help with some of these tasks, that they may be able to get the residents their medications timely every day. 5) During an interview with Medication Nurse LVN 1, on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am she acknowledged that she goes back after giving her medications in the morning and signs for these medications, after she finishes her medication passing the morning. She stated that: she does this in part because when she starts passing medications before 8:00 am and if she enters these medication administrations into the facility's computer then, these medications which had been given before 8:00 am, would get flagged by the computer for these administration entries. This practice is also contrary to the facility's policy and procedure entitled: Policy and procedure in Medication Administration, dated 1/2025, read: 12. Medications must be immediately charted following the administration by the license Nurse who administered the medication. This medication Nurse failed to follow this policy and procedure.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on Medication Pass observation, review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Physician's orders, Two out of two medication nurses observed for a total of 45 medication pass opportunities. Out of these 45 medication pass opportunities, there were a total of 8 medication errors which were observed. These 8 medication errors resulted in an overall medication error rate of 17.7% for the facility. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: This LVN 3 administered medications to sample Resident 29 on 3/6/2025 at 9:00 am, which included Divalproex DR 250 mg tablet. The medication nurse proceeded to crush all of this resident's medications including this resident's Divalproex which had the designation of DR on the label of the bubble pack. Review of the manufacturer's package insert for this medication read: .The tablets should be swallowed whole and can be taken with or without food, Divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets are intended for oral administration. Divalproex sodium delayed-release tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed, based on the drug manufacturer Aidarex Pharmaceuticals LLC.'s package insert. The DR on the product label stands for Delayed Release. By crushing this DR formulation, the Nurse altered the delivery of this making it immediate release rather than delayed release, which this product had been designed to be delivered. This resulted in one medication error. During a medication pass observation on 3/5/2025 at 8:27 am with LVN 1, this nurse passed medications to sampled Resident 63, this Medication Nurse administered 10 medications to this resident, with Cranberry juice and Ready Care (Med Pass). Upon review of Resident's Physician's orders and Resident 63's Medication Administration Record (MAR), the following 9:00 am medications had not been administered to this resident as ordered by the resident's physician: 1. Cetizine HCL 10 mg, 2. Magnesium Oxide 400 mg, 3. MiraLAX 3350 Powder, 4. Thera tears Ophthalmic Solution 1 drop in both eyes, and 5. Cranberry Oral tablet 450 mg. During an interview on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am with the medication Nurse (LVN 1), this nurse acknowledged that her medication process is to give all of her medications to the residents first and then go back later to sign off all of the medications that she had previously given. The medication Nurse during the interview on 3/5/2025 at 11:15 am was asked if she had given this resident any other medications to this resident outside of the time that the surveyor had observed medication pass and the medication Nurse indicated that she had only given Resident 63 medications when the surveyor had been present for that morning. The medication Nurse had also been asked if she could recall giving any of the five medications above to resident 63 on the morning of 3/5/2025 and the nurse confirmed that she did not remember giving any of these medications to resident 63 that morning. Medication Nurse (LVN 1) had also been observed during the medication pass, administering medications to sampled Resident 27. The medication Nurse was observed administering Testosterone Gel 1.62 % to Resident 27. Two pumps of the Testosterone had been administered to Resident 27, yet during a review of the physician's order indicated that this resident should have only been administered 1 pump of Testosterone. Resident 27 also received Diclofenac Sodium cream (approximately 1 inch in total) [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream), which had been administered to both sides the resident's neck. Review of the Physician's order, written on 8/28/2024 read: .apply 2 inches to affected area. The medication Nurse only administered half of the dose of the Diclofenac to this resident. The culmination of these 8 medication errors resulted in this facility's medication error rate of 17.7%.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. 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 exhaust hoses of the portable air conditioning units (PACU) were properly installed as directed (not duct taped to the window frames) and filters were routinely cleaned according to manufacturer's guidelines (MFU) in 12 of 12 PACU's found inside Rooms 15, 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,30, and 32. Residents Affected - Some This failure had the risk for entrapment in the event of a fire secondary to the windows becoming inoperable due to exhaust hoses duct taped to the window frames, with the potential for poor air quality as filters were not cleaned as directed. Findings: During an observation on 3/04/25 at 10:40 a.m. the slider kits (plastic frame where exhaust hoses are attached) of the PACUs, inside Rooms 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, and 32 were noted to be short in length, horizontally installed, and card boards were used to fill in the gaps in the windows. The sliders were then duct taped to the window frames, preventing the windows to be opened when needed. During a review of the PACUs MFU titled, Keystone KSTAP14B, indicated in part, the window slider kit can be fixed with a bolt. Further review of the MFU, showed a window diagram of a window that can still be closed and opened once the slider is fixed or bolted, with foam cut according to the slide kit's length and placed/attached to the sliding window edge. During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/06/25 at 3:40 p.m., with the facility's Maintenance Supervisor (MS) was asked how often the air filters were cleaned, and why the exhaust hoses were duct taped to the window frames preventing the windows to be opened, the MS stated the air filters on the PACUs are cleaned every three months. The MS was not able to present any documentation or a tracking method for the cleaning of air filters. The MS further stated, the slider kits the PACUs came with were for smaller windows and not for the facility windows size/type. During a concurrent interview and record review on 03/07/25 at 9:49 a.m. with the MS inside room [ROOM NUMBER], the PACU's MFU was reviewed with the MS. Under the section for Care and Maintenance, the MFU stated, Clean the air filter at least once every two weeks to prevent inferior fan operation because of dust .This unit has two filters. Take the upper filter out .Remove the lower filter .Wash the air filter by immersing in gently warm water (about 40 degrees Celsius/104 degrees Fahrenheit) with a neutral detergent. Rinse the filter and dry it in a [NAME] place. The MS stated he was unaware the PACU's had two filters or that cleaning had to be done every two weeks.
