Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal possessions.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain dignity for one of 27 sampled resident (Resident 14) when Resident 14's catheter bag (a bag that collects urine from an indwelling urinary catheter) was exposed. This failure had the potential to reduce Resident 14's right to respect and dignity.
Findings: A review of the facility document titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 14 was admitted to the facility in 2023 with diagnoses including kidney failure. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23 at 8:51 a.m., in Resident 14's room, Resident 14's catheter bag was hanging off the bed with brown urine inside without a privacy cover. Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) confirmed there was no privacy cover over the catheter bag. CNA 1 confirmed there should have been a privacy cover for Resident 14's catheter bag. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 10:06 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff should have placed a privacy cover over the catheter bag. Review of the facility's policy titled, Resident Rights, revised date 2/2021, indicated, Employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to 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 ensure the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST, a medical order that gives patients control over their care during a medical emergency) forms for two residents (Resident 187 and Resident 378), of 27 sampled residents, were valid in the electronic health records (EHRs) when POLST information did not match with EHR. This failure decreased the staff's potential to safely follow the residents' POLST during emergencies.
Findings: A review of Resident 187's admission record indicated he was admitted in 11/23 with diagnoses including heart failure and severe obesity. A review of Resident 187's clinical record included the following documents: A POLST, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 187 had elected Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) if he were to be found without a pulse and not breathing and full treatment be provided if he were to be found to have a pulse and/or was not breathing. A physician's order, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 187 had a code status of DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). In a concurrent record review and interview, on [DATE] at 2:39 p.m., Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) reviewed Resident 187's POLST and confirmed it indicated he had selected CPR and full treatment. LN 1 confirmed the EHR was inaccurate and documented Resident 187 as DNR. In a concurrent record review and interview, on [DATE] at 12:39 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she expected a resident's POLST and the EHR to match. The DON confirmed the POLST and EHR did not match, the EHR was inaccurate and should have indicated Resident 187 selected CPR and full treatment. A review of an admission record indicated Resident 378 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart failure, chest pain, and shortness of breath. A review of Resident 378's POLST, dated [DATE], indicated if Resident 378 had no pulse and was not breathing to attempt CPR. A review of Resident 378's Order Summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 378 wished to be Full Code/DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:51 p.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated Resident 378's order was inaccurate because it did not match with POLST which indicated CPR and not DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:55 p.m. with the Resources Nurse Consultant (RNC), RNC confirmed Resident 378's POLST and order did not match. RNC stated the nurse was supposed to verify the order

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 maintain a comfortable and safe living environment for one of 27 sampled residents (Resident 49) when the bed provided for Resident 49 was very small and worn out. This failure increased resident 49's potential for discomfort, sleep disturbances, and injury.
Findings: A review of Resident 49's admission record indicated he was admitted in 6/2023 with diagnoses including generalized muscle weakness, and had the capacity to make healthcare decisions. A review of Resident 49's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 7/2023, indicated Resident 49 had no memory problems with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, a cognitive assessment tool) score of 13 out of 15. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23 at 10:09 a.m., with Resident 49, he was observed lying in bed with no foot board and noticed both feet hanging and sticking out over the bed, foot board at the corner by the wall. Resident 49 stated maintenance staff had to take it off because he hits his heels on it whenever he moves causing pain to his feet because the bed was small, also added he gets back pains because of the mattress. Resident 49 stated, I have the oldest bed in this facility. Resident 49 mentioned he requested his bed to be changed from the time he was admitted . In an interview on 12/4/23 at 10:14 a.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2, CNA 2 stated the maintenance staff knew about Resident 49's request for a bed change. She requested maintenance to check his [Resident 49] bed because CNA 2 noticed whenever she puts the head up, Resident 49 slides down and could fall. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/5/23 at 11:23 a.m. with the Maintenance Manager (MM), MM recounted taking out Resident 49's foot board because the bed was small, and the resident complained of hitting his heels on it. MM confirmed Resident 49 needed a new bed. A concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 1:15 p.m. with the Unit Manager (UM), UM acknowledged Resident 49's bed was too small for him and should have been changed promptly to be able to assist Resident 49 rest comfortably and safely. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Accommodation of Needs revised 3/2021, the P&P indicated, The resident's needs and preferences, including the need for adaptive devices and modifications to the physical environment, are evaluated upon admission and reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a significant change in status assessment (SCSA) in a timely manner for one of 27 sampled residents (Resident 47).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential of not providing appropriate care and interventions to Resident 47 based on her current status.
Findings: Resident 47 was admitted in 6/2023 with diagnoses including metastatic lung cancer (cancer that spread from its origin in the lung), and dementia and did not have capacity to make their own choices. The daughter was listed as the responsible party (RP) who makes healthcare decisions. A review of facility MDS Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool) score was 6 out 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. During a review of Resident 47's Order Listing Report (OLR), indicated Resident 47 was admitted under hospice care (specialized treatment for people with serious illness or end of life care) and was discharged from the hospice program per physicians' order on 11/8/23, due to an extended prognosis. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 10:15a.m. with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), MDSC confirmed she knew Resident 47 was discharged from hospice and confirmed there was no SCSA found on the list of Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) assessments completed for Resident 47. MDSC acknowledged an SCSA should have been done within 14 days after discharge from hospice because it is considered a significant change in status. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Comprehensive Assessments revised 3/ 2022 P&P indicated Significant Change in Status Assessment -The SCSA is a comprehensive assessment for a resident that must be completed when the IDT [interdisciplinary team] has determined that a resident meets the significant change guidelines for either major improvement or decline.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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 accurately assess one resident (Resident 36) of 27 sampled residents, when the Minimum Data Set (MDS; an assessment tool) inaccurately indicated Resident 36 had no behaviors.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure decreased the facility's potential to identify residents' care needs.
Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility in June 2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions), and major depressive disorder. A review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report, dated 10/31/23, indicated Resident 36 started to receive 2.5 milligrams (mg; a unit of measure) of olanzapine (an antipsychotic medication) at bedtime for agitation manifested by yelling out. A review of Resident 36's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 36 exhibited no verbal behavioral symptoms directed toward others. A review of Resident 36's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 11/23, indicated Resident 36 was monitored every shift for yelling out with five behaviors documented before 11/10/23. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1 p.m. with Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5), LN 5 stated Resident 36 had behaviors such as refusing showers, agitation, and yelling out to smoke. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1:05 p.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated she heard Resident 36 yelling out in the last month and his yelling was mostly to get out and smoke. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1:08 p.m. with MDS Coordinator (MDSC), MDSC stated Resident 36 received olanzapine for yelling out and his MDS documentation was inaccurate based on nursing notes and MAR. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1:23 p.m. with Resources Nurse Consultant (RNC), RNC stated Resident 36's MDS assessment was inaccurate, and it should have captured information in nursing notes and assessments. RNC further stated an inaccurate MDS assessment had the potential to impact the care and services provided to Resident 36 since it was a tracking tool for behaviors especially since he recently started on an antipsychotic medication. A review of the facility's policy titled, Comprehensive Assessments, dated 3/22, indicated Comprehensive assessments are conducted [accurately] in accordance with criteria and timeframes established in the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User Manual.

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for one resident (Resident 16) of 27 sampled residents within 48 hours after admission. This failure decreased the facility's potential to address the residents' initial goals and current health needs.
Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 16 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including pneumonia (lung infection) and dialysis (treatment for kidney failure). A review of Resident 16's 48 Hour Baseline Care Plan, indicated the baseline care plan was completed on 11/17/23. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 2:42 p.m. with the Resources Nurse Consultant (RNC), RNC confirmed Resident 16's baseline care plan was not completed within 48 hours after admission. RNC stated the baseline care plan should have been completed within 48 hours because nurses could use it as a tool to get an idea about the resident's care and services and what areas to focus on and it would also help in the discharge process. A review of the facility's policy titled, Baseline Care Plans, dated 3/22, indicated A baseline plan of care to meet the resident's immediate health and safety needs is developed for each resident within forty-eight (48) hours of admission.

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 failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for one resident (Resident 36) of 27 sampled residents, when the care plan did not address Resident 36's behavioral needs and interventions. This failure decreased the facility's potential to address the residents' individualized and specific needs.
Findings: A review of an admission record indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions), and major depressive disorder. A review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report, dated 10/31/23, indicated Resident 36 started to receive 2.5 milligrams (mg; a unit of measure) of olanzapine (an antipsychotic medication) at bedtime for agitation manifested by yelling out. A review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report, dated 11/1/23, indicated to monitor Resident 36 for yelling out every shift. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1 p.m. with Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5), LN 5 stated Resident 36 had behaviors such as refusing showers, agitation, and yelling out to smoke. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1:05 p.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated she heard Resident 36 yelling out in the last month and his yelling was mostly to get out and smoke. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/6/23 at 1:23 p.m. with the Resources Nurse Consultant (RNC), Resident 36's Care Plan was reviewed. RNC confirmed Resident 36 had no care plan for his behaviors after he started receiving an antipsychotic medication. RNC stated nurses should have care planned Resident 36's specific behaviors because, without a care plan, there could be an impact on monitoring the effectiveness of the antipsychotic medication given by nurses. A review of the facility's policy titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Plans, dated 3/22, indicated A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident.

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 provide services according to professional standards of quality for two residents (Resident 36 and Resident 47) of 27 sampled residents, when:
Residents Affected - Few 1. Resident 36's oxygen was not administered as indicated in physician's order; and, 2. Resident 47's physician order for the use of an external catheter was not obtained. These failures had the potential to jeopardize resident health when physician orders were not obtained or followed.
Findings: 1. A review of an admission record indicated Resident 36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including palliative care (specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions), tobacco use, and chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) disease. A review of Resident 36's Minimum Data Set (MDS; an assessment tool), dated 11/10/23, indicated Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score was two of 15 with memory loss. A review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report, dated 11/1/23, indicated to administer oxygen at two liters per minute (a measurement of oxygen/dose) via nasal cannula as needed for shortness of breath or chest pain or oxygen saturation less than 90% and to notify the physician. During an observation on 12/4/23 at 9:38 a.m., in Resident 36's room, Resident 36 was lying in his bed and connected to oxygen at three liters per minute via nasal cannula. A review of Resident 36's Weekly Nursing Summary, dated 12/5/23, indicated Resident 36 used oxygen continuously this week at four liters per minute via nasal cannula and his oxygen saturation range was 90%. During an observation on 12/7/23 at 9:29 a.m., in Resident 36's room, Resident 36 was lying in his bed and connected to oxygen at five liters per minute via nasal cannula. During an interview on 12/7/23 at 9:33 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 5 (LN 5), LN 5 confirmed Resident 36 was connected to oxygen at five liters per minute via nasal cannula. LN 5 stated Resident 36 was supposed to be connected to oxygen at two liters per minute for oxygen saturation less than 90% as indicated in the physician's order and, if his oxygen continued to be low, then she should have notified the physician. LN 5 further stated Resident 36 was on oxygen yesterday with an oxygen saturation was between 97% and 98% ,and sometimes 90%, and today at 8:30 a.m. his oxygen saturation was 93%. During an interview on 12/7/23 at 9:45 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Resources Nurse Consultant (RNC), DON and RNC confirmed nurses were not following Resident 36's physician's order for oxygen at two liters per minute. DON and RNC stated the physician order clearly said to administer oxygen at two liters per minute and, if the oxygen saturation was less than 90%, the nurses should have followed the physician's order.

Resident 47 was admitted in 6/2023 under Hospice care (treatment for end of life care) with diagnoses including metastatic lung cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the lungs) and dementia. Resident 47 did not have the capacity to make choices, and the daughter was the responsible party (RP) who made healthcare decisions. Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool) score was 6 out 15, with severe cognitive impairment. Resident 47 required extensive assistance with toileting, personal hygiene, and bed mobility. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/5/23 at 9:44 a.m., inside Resident 47's room, three Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) were observed assisting Resident 47 with activities of daily living (ADLs), noted Resident 47 to have an external catheter connected to a tube and attached to a collecting canister. CNA 2 stated Resident 47 has been using the catheter for months already. During a review of Resident 47's Physician's Order, dated 11/2023, there was no order documented for the use of an external catheter. Furthermore, nursing measures like monitoring for placement and skin integrity were not tracked. In a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 9:50 a.m. with Licensed Nurse 2 (LN 2), LN2 confirmed Resident 47's use of the external catheter was per family's request. LN 2 also verified that an order for the use of an external catheter was missing in the physician's orders. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 9:56 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON acknowledged that there was no order for Resident 47's use of an external catheter and stated nursing staff should have obtained an order from the doctor before allowing the use of the device. The order must include the monitoring of its placement to ensure it is working properly and the monitoring of skin integrity to prevent the risk of infection. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), revised 11/ 2014, titled, Medication Orders, the P&P indicated, A current list of orders must be maintained in the clinical record of each resident .

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to assist one of 27 sampled residents (Resident 61) to receive a hearing assessment when Resident 61 had difficulty hearing.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure decreased Resident 61's ability to communicate needs properly and negatively affected her psychosocial well-being.
Findings: Resident 61 was admitted in early 7/2023 with diagnoses including recurrent major depressive disorder, able to understand choices and make own healthcare decisions. Resident 61 had intact memory and a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool) score of 14 out of 15. A review of Resident 61's admission notes, dated 7/12/23, indicated the admitting nurse noted a report from the acute hospital that Resident 61 was hard of hearing. A review of the social services notes, dated 7/13/23, indicated Resident 61 used hearing aids, but were left at home. A review of Resident 61's physical examination, done on 8/15/23, the Physician confirmed Resident 61 had moderate bilateral hearing loss. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23, at 10:43 a.m. with Resident 61, observed Resident 61 to lip read. Surveyor had to speak loudly and repeat words several times during the interview. Resident 61 stated she's been hard of hearing for years and needed new hearing aids. She chose not to participate with any activities or talk with other residents because she cannot hear properly. She mentioned the staff knew that she's hard of hearing since admission but was not made aware the facility can assist her to have a hearing assessment done then get new hearing aids. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23 at 10:43 a.m. inside Resident 61's room, observed Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2) had to speak loudly with Resident 61 while providing care, CNA 2 stated she had to talk louder for Resident 61 to hear what was being said. In an interview on 12/5/23 at 8:35 a.m. with Activities Staff (AS), AS stated he had to speak loudly whenever he's talking to Resident 61 and admitted she needs to use hearing aids to be able to communicate better with others. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/5/23 at 10:25 a.m. with Social Services Director (SSD), observed SSD had to repeat the same question three times while leaning forward towards Resident 61's left side before she [Resident 61] was able to hear and understand what was said. SSD acknowledged Resident 61 was hard of hearing and may benefit to see an audiologist (a physician who specializes in hearing) for a hearing assessment. There was no documented evidence in Resident 61's clinical record of a hearing evaluation or assessment completed by an audiologist.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care for one of 27 sampled residents (Resident 185) when a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine (CPAP; a machine that uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while sleeping) treatment had not been applied nightly as ordered by the physician (MD).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to negatively impact Resident 185's sleep and respiratory status.
Findings: A review of Resident 185's admission record indicated she was admitted in 12/23 with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels) and obstructive sleep apnea (intermittent airflow blockage during sleep). The record also indicated Resident 185 was her own responsible party (RP). An MD order, dated 12/1/23, indicated Resident 185 was to wear a CPAP at night while sleeping. A MAR (Medication Administration Record), dated 12/23, indicated Resident 185 had worn the CPAP at night 12/1/23- 12/5/23. An Administration Note, dated 12/4/23, indicated Resident 185 was not using the CPAP machine. In a concurrent observation and interview, on 12/6/23 at 7:57 a.m., Resident 185 was awake sitting up in bed. A CPAP machine and package of tubing were on the bedside table and were unopened. Resident 185 stated the physician had prescribed it for her because she had sleep apnea but, no one had assisted her to use it yet and stated she had not refused to wear it. In a concurrent observation and interview, on 12/6/23 at 8:39 a.m., Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) confirmed Resident 185 had an MD order to wear the CPAP nightly, looked at the CPAP packaging and confirmed it was unopened and agreed if nursing documentation reflected it had been applied at night it was inaccurate. In an interview, on 12/6/23 at 8:49 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was her expectation that nurses followed MD orders and documented treatments accurately on the MAR. The DON confirmed Resident 185 had an order for the CPAP machine nightly and the MAR indicated she had received the treatment on 12/1, 12/2, 12/3, and 12/5. The DON agreed the documentation of her use of the CPAP on the MAR was inaccurate, did not indicate she was refusing it and stated she expected LNs to assist the resident with applying the mask and treatment. A review of the facility's policy titled, Administering Medications, revised 4/19, indicated medications and treatments not given would be documented as such on the MAR.

Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to decrease Resident 45's ability to maintain her highest practicable physical well-being.
Findings: Resident 45 was admitted in 9/2021 with diagnoses including transient ischemic attack (TIA, mini stroke disruption of blood supply to the brain). Resident 45 did not have the capacity to make own healthcare decisions, and required supervision assistance for locomotion on/off the unit in a wheelchair and with ambulation using a walker. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23 at 8:41 a.m. Resident 45 was walking by the hallway while using her wheelchair as a walker. Resident 45 stated she's been requesting a walker with a seat for a long time, but never got it, and her wheelchair stops suddenly whenever she propels in it, that was the reason why she just used the wheelchair as a walker. In an interview on 12/4/23 at 9 a.m. with the Maintenance Manager (MM), MM confirmed Resident 45's request for a 4-wheeled walker and mentioned the Social Services Director (SSD) was aware of it. During an interview on 12/4/23 at 1:25 p.m., SSD verified he knew of Resident 45's request for a 4wheeled walker, had spoken with her the previous week about the request, and explained that a physical therapist must evaluate her first before he can place the order. There was no documented evidence of a communication initiated by the SSD that was directed to the Director of Rehab (DOR) regarding Resident 45's request. In an interview on 12/5/23 at 3 p.m. with SSD, he indicated that he did not document in writing the meeting he had with Resident 45 the previous week and admitted the DOR was not informed regarding the need to evaluate Resident 45 for the use of a 4-wheeled walker. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 10 a.m. with the DOR, DOR confirmed he had just received an email from the SSD about Resident 45's request. During an interview on 12/6/23 at 1:20 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) the DON stated she expects the SSD to act on residents' requests in a timely manner and giving a delayed response on a residents' request was unacceptable. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Social Services, revised 9/2021, the P&P indicated, The director of social services is a qualified social worker and is responsible for: meeting or assisting with the medically-related social service needs of residents . Medically-related social services are provided to maintain or improve each resident's ability to control everyday physical needs (e.g. appropriate adaptive equipment for eating, ambulation, etc.) .

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: 1. Have an efficient system in place to accurately document and secure emergency medications (E-kit) for a census of 97; and, 2. Store controlled medications (those with high potential for abuse or addiction) to limit access in accordance with facility policy. These failures had the potential for emergency medications to be unavailable when needed, the potential for not meeting the residents' therapeutic needs or worsening of their medical conditions, and potential for diversion of controlled medications.
Findings: 1. During an inspection of the medication storage room on 12/4/23 at 11:27 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), the First Dose Oral Medications and Intravenous (into the vein) E-kits were sealed with red plastic ties indicating they had been opened by nursing staff. Inside the oral medications E-kit were nine E-kit logs (a document completed by nursing staff whenever a medication is removed from the emergency supply), with the earliest entry into the kit documented on 11/29/23. One of the nine logs was incomplete with no date for which the medication was removed from the kit. Inside the IV E-kit were two logs, dated 11/25/23 and the second log was undated. DON confirmed the finding and stated nursing staff were expected to complete the E-kit log in full and reorder a replacement from the pharmacy the same day. She stated it was important to have the kit replaced timely by the pharmacy to ensure there was a fully supplied E-kit available for use when needed. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Emergency Pharmacy Service and Emergency Kits, dated March 2018, the P&P indicated, Procedures . I. The nurse opening the kit also records use of the kit in the Emergency kit logbook. The nurse records the date, time, resident name, medication name, strength, and dose . K . opened kits are replaced with sealed kits within 72 hours of opening . 2. During an inspection of the vaccine storage refrigerator on 12/4/23 at 11:50 a.m. with DON, four bottles of lorazepam (a controlled medication to treat anxiety) 2 milligrams/milliliter (mg/ml, a unit of measurement), and one bottle hydromorphone (a controlled medication to treat pain) 5 mg/5 ml were identified. Inside the refrigerator were other non-controlled medications. The DON confirmed the facility stored refrigerated controlled and non-controlled medications together and shared the same access. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Storage of Medications, dated November 2020, the P&P indicated, Policy Interpretation and Implementation . 8. Schedule II-V controlled medications are stored in a separately locked, permanently affixed compartments. Access to controlled medication is separate from access to non-controlled medications.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, 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. 2. A review of Resident 71's admission record indicated he was admitted in 11/23 with diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly). A review of Resident 71's clinical record included the following documents: A physician's order, dated 11/2/23, indicated an order for risperidone, 2 mg tablet, two tablets daily. The order did not indicate, as manifested by, or a target behavior. In a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/5/23 at 3:07 p.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated psychotropic medication orders should include the resident's diagnosis, a behavior manifestation and there should be an order for behavior monitoring. The DSD reviewed Resident 71's physician's orders and confirmed there was no behavior manifestation and no behavior monitoring for the risperidone. In a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/6/23 at 8:17 a.m., the DON stated it was her expectation psychotropic medication orders included a target behavior and there was an order for behavior monitoring. The DON confirmed there was no target behavior in the physician's order and no behavior monitoring for Resident 71. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotropic Medication Use, dated July 2022, the P&P indicated, Policy Interpretation and Implementation . 3. Residents, families and/or the representative are involved in the medication management process. Psychotropic medication management includes . d. adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences . 10. Non-pharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize the need for medications, permit the lowest possible dose, and allow for discontinuation of medication when possible.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 27 sampled residents (Residents 44 and Resident 71) were free from unnecessary psychotropic (drugs that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medications when: 1. Resident 44 received quetiapine (an antipsychotic) without target behavior monitoring and non-pharmacological (non-drug) interventions; and 2. Resident 71 received risperidone (an antipsychotic) without adequate indication and behavior monitoring. This failure had the potential to result in unnecessary use of medication.
Findings: 1. Resident 44 was admitted to the facility in November 2023 with diagnoses which included post-traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder. A review of Resident 44's medical record (MR) indicated a physician's order for quetiapine 100 milligrams (mg, a unit of measurement), give 1 tablet at bedtime related to post-traumatic stress

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Resident 44's MR indicated the facility was not monitoring for target behaviors related to quetiapine and non-pharmacological interventions were not being implemented.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 1:41 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 6, Resident 44's MR was reviewed. LN 6 stated Resident 44 was not being monitored for target behaviors for which the quetiapine was prescribed for. She stated it was important for the facility to monitor for target behaviors so they could evaluate if the psychotropic medication was effective or not. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/23 at 1:53 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 44's MR was reviewed. DON confirmed whenever a psychotropic medication was prescribed for a resident, the resident was also monitored for side effects and behaviors. She confirmed Resident 44 was not being monitored for behaviors related to the use of quetiapine. DON stated non-pharmacological interventions were implemented for residents with PRN (as-needed) psychotropic medication orders, so they were not a part of Resident 44's care.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were stored safely for a census of 97 when: 1. Opened multi-dose medications and biologicals were dated with an open and discard date, expired medications were not available for resident use, pharmacy dispensed insulin (a medication to treat diabetes) were labeled, and medications were stored in the medication carts (med carts) in a safe and sanitary manner; and, 2. Medications were locked in a medication cart when unattended. These failures had the potential for residents to receive medications with unsafe and reduced potency from being used past their discard date, receive incorrect medications from inadequate labeling and unsafe storage, and the potential for medication misuse and diversion.
Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/23 at 11:27 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), an inspection of the medication storage room refrigerator identified one vial Tubersol (an injectable used to diagnose exposure to tuberculosis, a bacterial disease that affects the lungs) and 1 package tafluprost (eye drops to treat elevated eye pressure) 0.0015% ophthalmic solution, both opened and unlabeled with an open date. DON reviewed the manufacturer's labeling on the tafluprost package and stated it expired 30 days from when it was opened. She stated both the tafluprost and Tubersol should have been labeled with an open date. Two bottles compounded (customized medication) Magic Mouthwash expired 11/1/23 and 11/22/23, were identified and DON confirmed both should have been removed from the facility's medication supply. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dating of Containers When Opened, dated March 2018, the P&P indicated, Policy: Some medications require the container to be dated when opened and discarded a number of days after opening as defined by the manufacturer .

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain the freezer in safe operating condition when ice buildup was noted on the door, curtains, walls and floor. This had the potential to affect the safety and quality of the food served at the facility for the 94 residents eating facility prepared meals.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings: During the initial kitchen tour on 12/4/23 at 9:58 a.m., the freezer door was opened. On the back of the door was a build up of ice starting about 6 (inches) from the top of the door. The ice pattern was close to 1.5' (feet) in length and approximately 10 across at its widest point. The top portion of the ice curtains were also covered in ice as well as the right side walls, and ice was observed dripping from the pipes, and ice chunks had collected on the freezer floor. During a subsequent interview with the Maintenance Manager (MM) on 12/4/23 at 10:22 a.m., he stated that the leakage through the walls had been had fixed last month. He further explained that he wasn't aware that this was still a problem. During a return visit to the kitchen on 12/5/23 at 9:11 a.m., the freezer had been cleaned of ice, but a new trail was seen developing on the inside door. In a return visit to the kitchen on 12/06/23 at 9:06 a.m., the freezer again had ice buildup starting on the inside of the door as well as the freezer curtains. During a subsequent interview with the MM on 12/06/23 at 9:37 a.m., he stated that the repair company had evaluated this ice build-up a few months ago. As a result, the facility replaced the door and sealed leaks. Repair company invoice from 9/26/23 indicated that Checked refrigerant components for signs of leaks. Found some repairs needed will quote. Review of the website Commercial Equipment Service, (https://commercialequipmentserviceinc.com > 2021/07) indicated: One of the most common issues that occurs in commercial freezers is an excessive buildup of ice. Over time, icing can reduce the efficiency of the system, and potentially compromise the freshness and quality of the food due to the elevated moisture content in the unit .In most cases, ice buildup in a freezer is a result of a combination of warm, humid air in the cold environment of the freezer.If left unaddressed, the ice buildup caused by the above issues can damage freezer components, drastically increase operating costs and utility expenses and reduce the lifespan of your commercial freezer. Review of the United States Food and Drug (FDA) Food Code 2022 section 4-501.11 for Good Repair and Proper Adjustment indicated (A) EQUIPMENT shall be maintained in a state of repair and condition that meets the requirements specified under Parts 4-1 and 4-2. (B) EQUIPMENT components such as doors, seals, hinges, fasteners, and kick plates shall be kept intact, tight, and adjusted in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
