**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedures (P&P) regarding the role
of the interdisciplinary team (IDT, staff with varied clinical backgrounds-including nursing staff and
resident's physician-that combine experience and knowledge when evaluating the resident's strengths,
needs, and preferences to attain the best quality of care and life for the resident), for one of 13 sampled
residents (Resident 1), who lacked the capacity to make healthcare decisions by failing to:
Ensure the IDT consisted of Resident 1's attending physician (MD), registered nurse (RN) responsible for
the resident, responsible party (RP), and other appropriate staff in accordance with the facility's P&P.
This failure had the potential to cause a decline in Resident 1's physical or psychosocial well-being related
to inadequate representation of the different disciplines in the care planning process.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the facility readmitted Resident 1 on [DATE] with
multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (progressive disorder affecting the nervous system and
the body parts controlled by the nerves), dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions
that interferes with daily activities), schizophrenia with onset date [DATE] (mental illness that affects the
ability to think, feel, and behave clearly, causing thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with
reality), and bipolar disorder with onset date [DATE] (serious mental illness, causing unusual shifts in mood,
energy, activity levels, and concentration). The AR did not indicate a RP for Resident 1.
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 1
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 1's IDT MADWORDS form, dated [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE],
Resident 1's responsible party was the facility's Bioethics Committee (group of healthcare professionals
tasked to resolve ethical healthcare-related issues involving the resident).
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:58 AM, Social Services Director (SSD 1) stated Resident 1 had a
conservator (court-appointed legal decisionmaker), but the conservatorship expired and Resident 1 was
ineligible to reapply for conservatorship due to his mental illness diagnoses.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:38 PM, Admissions Coordinator 1 (AC 1) stated Resident 1 was

resident's medical needs and interventions at least quarterly and as needed, such as whenever there are
changes in condition, to determine whether to continue with the plan of care or make changes. The DON
stated the IDT must be comprised of the MD, RN responsible for the resident, RP, and other appropriate
staff, such as activities staff, social services staff, and/or rehab staff. The DON stated the IDT must have a
meeting to discuss the plan of care for the resident. The DON stated the MD and RN must be present to
assess the resident. The DON stated it was important to coordinate the plan of care to ensure proper care
interventions would be implemented for the resident.
During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedures (P&P 1), titled Lack of Capacity: When
Medical Intervention(s) Require Informed Consent, P&P 1 indicated the following:
1. An IDT review of prescribed medical intervention(s) must be provided when the resident lacks the
capacity and there is no person with legal authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the resident.
2. The IDT must include the resident's attending physician, an RN with responsibility for the resident, a
resident representative, and other appropriate staff.
3. The resident representative may include a family member, a friend, who is unable to take full
responsibility for the health care decisions of the resident, but has agreed to serve on the IDT, or another
person authorized by the state or federal law (Ombudsman).

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident's
(Resident 11) physician was notified of the development of a rash on Resident 11's left and right buttocks.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay in treatment and/or services and could result in
a physical decline to Resident 11.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 11's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included generalized muscle weakness and schizophrenia (a mental
disorder effecting how a person thinks and feels).
During a review of a History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/19/24, the H&P indicated Resident 11 did not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of a MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 11 was dependent (helper does all the effort)
with eating, oral hygiene, toilet hygiene, showers, upper and lower body dressing, personal hygiene, and
required substantial to maximal assistance (helper does more than half of the effort) with rolling left to right,
sit to lying and lying to sit positions.
During a review of Resident 11's care plan (summary of a person's health conditions, specific care needs,
and current treatments) titled At Risk for Skin Breakdown secondary to skin incontinence, initiated 3/27/19
and revised 1/2/20, the care plan's interventions indicated to notify physician of significant changes. The
care plan's focus or interventions did not indicate or address the skin concerns on Resident 11's left and
right buttocks.
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 4 (CNA 4) on 3/5/24 at 9:36 a.m., CNA 4 stated
Resident 11's butt (left and right buttocks) had a rash for a few days. CNA 4 stated CNA 4 was instructed to
put barrier cream during adult brief changes.
During an interview with CNA 3 on 3/5/24 at 12:46 p.m., CNA 3 stated Resident 11 had a rash on her butt
for a few days. CNA 3 stated CNA 3 did not remember if CNA 3 informed a nurse regarding the rash, but
CNA 3 was instructed to apply barrier cream on the area.
During an interview and concurrent observation with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) on 3/5/24 at
12:49 p.m., LVN 1 stated there were two big patches and generalized small patches on Resident 11's left
buttock and one big patch and small scattered patches on Resident 11's right buttock. LVN 1 stated LVN 1
was aware of Resident 11's skin condition for two days. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 did not know if Resident 11's
physician was notified of the newly developed skin condition on Resident 11's buttocks. LVN 1 stated it was
important to inform the resident's physician [for Resident 11] to get proper treatment to prevent worsening
[of the rash] or development of pressure injuries (bed sores, are an injury to the skin and underlying tissue).

Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice
(SNFABN, notice of liability) and Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) letters/forms to one of one
sampled resident (Resident 196) three days prior to Resident 196's last day covered as indicated in the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Understanding Medicare Denial Letters,.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result with Resident 196 to not be aware of possible charges for
services rendered that were not covered after the last Medicare coverage day.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 192's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 192 was admitted to
the facility 6/27/23 and readmitted [DATE] with diagnoses that included lack of coordination, muscle
weakness, and abnormalities of gait (walk).
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and screening tool), dated 12/28/23 the
MDS indicated Resident 192's cognition (ability to understand and process information) was intact.
During an interview and concurrent record review of Resident 196's SNFABM with the Business Office
Manager (BOM) on 3/6/24 at 10:11a.m., the SNFABM indicated Resident 192's last day of Medicare
coverage ended on 9/8/24. The SNFABM indicated starting on 9/9/24, Resident 196 may have to pay out of
pocket for skilled services if Resident 196 did not have another insurance to cover the costs. The SNFABM
indicated Resident 196 signed the document on 9/8/24. The BOM stated Resident 196 needed to [be given]
enough time to appeal and continue with services if they (the resident) did not agree to pay out of pocket.
During an interview with the BOM on 3/6/24 at 10:35 p.m., the BOM stated the facility did not have policy
regarding beneficiary notices. The BOM stated the facility followed Medicare (a federally ran health
insurance agency for people 65 and older) guidelines. The BOM stated Residents (in general) should be
given at least a three-day notice prior to the skilled services ending. The BOM stated it was important to
give residents a three-day notice because if they did not agree, Resident 196 [could practice] Resident
196's right to appeal.
During a review of the facility's untitled P&P, titled Understanding Medicare Denial Letters, the P&P
indicated the document was intended as a step-by-step guide to help understand Medicare Denial Letters.
Step 2 of the P&P indicated three days prior to discharge from Medicare services, fill out the Skilled
Nursing Facility Determination on Continued Stay, in the reason section, explain in language that the
resident/responsible party can understand why the resident no longer qualifies for Medicare coverage.

Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the
functional limitation in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) of
one of two sampled residents (Resident 18) with mobility and ROM limitations, was complete and accurate.
This failure had the potential to lead to Resident 18's worsened contractures and increased risks for pain
and skin breakdown related to incorrect treatments and plan of care.
Cross reference with F688 and F657
Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 18's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
18 on 10/19/2023 with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make
decisions that interferes with daily activities), syncope (fainting) and collapse, anxiety disorder (persistent
and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), and generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 18's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/21/2023, the H&P indicated
Resident 18 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and
care-planning tool), dated 12/6/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 18 had severely impaired cognitive skills
(ability to think, pay attention, process information, and remember) for daily decision making. The MDS
indicated Resident 18 required substantial/maximal assistance with most self-care activities and mobility.
During a review of Resident 18's Physical Therapy (PT, healthcare profession that uses exercises and
physical activities to help condition muscles and restore or maintain strength and movement) Evaluation &
Plan of Treatment (PTEPT), dated 10/20/2023, the PTEPT indicated both of Resident 18's lower extremities
ROM were impaired.
During an interview and concurrent review on 3/7/2024 at 2:37 PM with MDS nurse 1 (MDSN 1), Resident
18's MDS assessment, PTEPT, and Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual (official
guidelines when conducting MDS assessments) were reviewed. MDSN 1 stated Resident 18's functional
limitation in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, particularly with
activities of daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury), MDSN 1 coded no impairment for Resident
18's lower extremities (hip, knee, ankle, and foot). MDSN 1 stated he did not review the rehab notes when
he conducted the MDS assessment, dated 12/6/2023. MDSN 1 stated he would submit the MDS correction
to accurately reflect Resident 18's condition. MDSN 1 stated an accurate MDS assessment was necessary
to ensure an accurate plan of care for the resident.
During an interview on 3/7/2024 at 3:42 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated a resident's impairment
on both lower extremities must be assessed and documented properly to ensure a consistent plan of care,
such as ROM or mobility training of the affected extremities was implemented.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive person-centered care
plans for two of two sampled residents (Residents 15 and 11) when:
Residents Affected - Some
a. For Resident 15, The facility failed to develop a care plan that included interventions to address Resident
15's urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control).
b. For Resident 11, the facility failed to develop a care plan that included goals and interventions to address
Resident 11's rash located on Resident 11's left and right buttocks.
This failure had the potential to result in unmet individualized needs for Residents 15 and 11 and the
potential to affect the resident's physical and psychosocial well-being.
(Cross reference F690 and F580)
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 22 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's
ability to think, feel, and behave clearly), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of
diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing
foods or liquids).

Resident 41 had one fall with major injury (bone fractures, joint dislocations, closed head injuries, with
altered consciousness, subdural hematoma) at the facility.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/24 at 12:50 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 41's care plan titled, Superstar Star ., initiated 1/21/22, revised 8/14/23, the care plan indicated
Resident 41 was at risk of falling and/or injury secondary to, balance deficit, cognitive impairment, and poor
safety awareness. The DON stated the care plan was created because Resident 41 was at high risk of
falling. The DON stated if the quarterly fall risk assessment indicated Resident 41 was at high risk of falling,
then the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise
who work together toward the goals of the resident) needed to review the care plan to determine if the
interventions were still appropriate to reduce or prevent Resident 41 from falling. The DON stated Resident
41's medical record did not indicate the IDT was meeting quarterly to review Resident 41's fall risk
interventions. The DON stated the IDT could have implemented new interventions if they met quarterly and
reviewed the current interventions.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Initial Fall Risk Assessment, undated, the P&P indicated, The
plan of care will be reviewed by the IDT quarterly and as needed for update of the resident's current needs.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility staff failed to administer Simbrinza 1% 2% (brinzolamide/brimonidine tartrate, eye drops to treat glaucoma [progressive eye disease causing vision
loss and blindness due to the damage to the optic nerve]), in accordance with the professional standards of
practice to one of one sampled resident (Resident 7), who was selected for medication administration
observation.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in worsened vision to Resident 7 due to decreased medication
efficacy (ability of the medication to produce the maximal desired effect) due to the systemic absorption of
the eye drops and/or subtherapeutic dose (concentration of a drug lower than what is usually prescribed to
treat a disease effectively).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 7 on 2/4/2010 with multiple diagnoses including glaucoma, cataract (clouding of the eye lens
causing cloudy, blurry, or unclear vision), astigmatism (imperfection of eye curvature causing blurred
vision), type 2 diabetes mellitus (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar),
and hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 7's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/10/23, the H&P indicated Resident 7
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and
care-planning tool), dated 1/4/24, the MDS indicated Resident 7 had severely impaired cognition (ability to
understand and process information).
During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report (OSR), active orders as of 3/6/24, the OSR
indicated a physician's order, dated 1/15/2018, the order indicated to administer Simbrinza Suspension 1%
- 0.2% 1 eye drop in both eyes three times a day for glaucoma.
During the medication administration observation on 3/6/24 at 11:48 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1) administered Simbrinza to the middle of the right eye, then immediately to the middle of the left
eye. Resident 7 squeezed her eyes shut after the left eye drop administration, causing minimal eye drop
solution to come out of the left eye. LVN 1 did not apply pressure to the inner corners of both eyes after eye
the drops were administrated.
During an interview on 3/6/24 at 11:54 a.m., LVN 1 was unable to state proper eye drop administration
technique to ensure maximal absorption of the eye drops.
During an interview on 3/7/24 at 3:14 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the proper eye drop
procedures included administering the eye drop to the lower eyelid sac and applying pressure to the
lacrimal ducts (tear duct-tube) to prevent systemic absorption of the eye drops and maximize the effect of
the eye drops. The DON stated incorrect eye drop administration could lead to decreased medication
efficacy.
During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P), titled Installation of Eye Drops, dated
3/2023, the P&P indicated the following eye drop procedures:

Gently dry the eyelid with tissue if dripping occurs.
During a review of the guidance from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), titled How to Put in
Eye Drops, dated 5/5/23, indicated the following:
1. Whether eye drops are used for glaucoma, dry eye, or eye infection, the eye drops must be used
correctly to get the full benefit.
2. Use one hand to pull the lower eyelid down, away from the eye, to form a pocket to catch the drop.
3. Without letting the eye drop bottle to touch the eye or eyelid to prevent contamination, gently squeeze the
bottle to let the eye drop fall into the pocket.
4. Apply gentle pressure to the tear ducts, where the eyelids meet the nose for a minute or two-or as long
as the ophthalmologist recommends-before opening the eyes to give the eye drop time to be absorbed by
the eye, instead of draining into the nose.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident
(Resident 9) was provided a communication tool or resources to effectively communicate Resident 9's
needs when Resident 9 spoke Cantonese (a Chinese dialect).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 9's needs not effectively conveyed to facility
staff which could lead to a decline in Resident 9's physical and psychosocial well-being.
Findings:
During a review of an admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 9 was re-admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included anemia (a deficiency when the body does not have enough iron)
and dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life).
During a review of Resident 9's care plan (CP), titled Language Barrier: Vietnamese speaking, non-English
speaking, initiated 6/6/16 and revised on 5/24/21, the CP's interventions indicated the facility would provide
Vietnamese speaking staff to make sure activities needs were met.
During a review of Resident 9's CP titled Inability to understand and utilize call light, initiated 3/9/23, the
CP's interventions indicated to utilize a communication board when assisting with Resident 9's needs.
During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care-screening tool),
dated 2/9/24, indicated Resident 9's preferred language was Cantonese, and Resident 9 had adequate (no
difficulty) hearing and was rarely/never understood. The MDS indicated indicted Resident 9 needed
supervision for touching assistance with sit to lying (moves from lying flat to sitting in bed) and sit to
standing (sting in a chair to standing).
During an observation and an attempted interview with Resident 9 in Resident 9's room on 3/4/24 at 11:31
a.m., Resident 9 smiled, nodded her head, and did not respond to questions asked in English. There was
no communication tool or board observed in the Resident 9's room.
During a telephone interview with Resident 9's Family Member (FM 1), on 3/4/24 at 4 p.m., FM 1 stated
Resident 9 communicated in Cantonese and did not speak English and FM 1 had never seen the facility
use a communication board to communicate with Resident 9. FM 1 stated it [the communication board]
would be beneficial and FM 1 would like for someone [the facility] to communicate with Resident 9 in
Cantonese because that would help her a lot when she understands the staff.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Certified Nurse Assistant 3 (CNA 3) on 3/5/24 at 12:34
p.m., CNA 3 stated Resident 9 did not speak English and spoke a Chinese. CNA 3 stated CNA 3 did not
speak Chinese and communicated with Resident 9 through gestures. CNA 3 did not attempt to use the
newly placed communication tool located at Resident 9's bedside.
During an observation and concurrent interview in Resident 9's room with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2

and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and
services for one of two sampled residents (Resident 18) with limited mobility or range of motion (ROM, full
movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) by failing to:
A. Ensure an accurate assessment of Resident 18's ROM on both upper extremities (BUEs) on 10/20/2023.
B. Properly assess Resident 18's tolerance to the right elbow extension splint (R elbow splint, material used
to extend or straighten the elbow as much as possible) after the resident readmitted to the facilltiy on
10/19/2023.
C. Ensure the order for the Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA, certified nursing aide who helps residents
maintain their function and joint mobility) to apply the splints to both knees (B knees) and left ankle (L
ankle), dated 12/4/2023, was in accordance with Resident 18's tolerance to splints upon discharge from
rehab therapy.
These failures had the potential to cause a further decline in Resident 18's mobility and ROM with
worsened contractures (chronic joint stiffness) and increased risk for skin breakdown and pain.
Cross Reference with F636 and F657
Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 18's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
18 on 10/19/2023 with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make
decisions that interferes with daily activities), syncope (fainting) and collapse, anxiety disorder (persistent
and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), and generalized muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 18's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/21/2023, the H&P indicated
Resident 18 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and
care-planning tool), dated 12/6/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 18 had severely impaired cognitive skills
(ability to think, pay attention, process information, and remember) for daily decision making. The MDS
indicated Resident 18 required substantial/maximal assistance with most self-care activities and mobility.
During a review of Resident 18's Order Summary Report (OSR) for 3/2024, the OSR indicated a
physician's order, dated 12/4/2023, for RNA to perform passive ROM exercises (PROM, movement of joint
through the ROM with no effort from the person) to BUEs daily 7 times per week as tolerated.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/7/2024 at 9:42 AM with RNA 1, Resident 18 was lying
in bed while RNA 1 performed PROM exercises. RNA 1 was unable to bend (flex) the L elbow from an
extended position. RNA 1 removed the R elbow splint and stated Resident 18 has more mobility on this
side. Resident 18 was able to bend the R elbow up to 90 degrees.

During an interview and a concurrent review of Resident 18's records on 3/7/2024 at 10:54 AM with
Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1, healthcare professional who aims to increase or maintain a resident's
capability to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs, occupations), Resident 18's OT Evaluation & Plan
of Treatment (OTEPT), dated 10/20/2023, and Joint Mobility Screening (JMS), dated 10/20/2023, were
reviewed. OT 1 stated Resident 18's OTEP, which OT 1 conducted, indicated Resident 18's right upper
extremity (RUE) ROM was normal or within functional limits while Resident 18's left upper extremity (LUE)
ROM was impaired. In contrast, OT 1 stated Resident 18's JMS, which OT 1 conducted, indicated Resident
18's left elbow had minimal (less than 25% loss in joint mobility) while Resident 18's right elbow had
moderate (26% - 50% loss in joint mobility). OT 1 stated Resident 18's JMS indicated Resident 18's RUE
ROM was more severe than the LUE ROM. OT 1 was unable to explain the conflicting assessments of
Resident 18's RUE and LUE. OT 1 stated, There was something about the resident's [Resident 18's] left
side that made me focus on that side [LUE] more.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/7/2023 at 11:23 AM with OT 1, Resident 18 was lying
in bed when OT 1 assessed the current ROM of BUEs. OT 1 was able to extend Resident 18's L elbow with
minimal [loss of joint mobility]. OT 1 was able to extend Resident 18's R elbow with moderate [loss of joint
mobility]. Resident 18 was observed with evidence of pain when OT 1 attempted to extend the R elbow for
more than 90 degrees. OT 1 stated Resident 18's L elbow has better ROM than the R elbow.
During an interview and concurrent review on 3/7/2024 at 12:16 PM with the Director of Rehab (DOR),
Resident 18's OTEPT and JMS were reviewed. The DOR stated JMS indicated Resident 18 had a
contracture on the right elbow with moderate loss of mobility with Resident 18 able to extend [the right
elbow] up to 90 degrees. The DOR stated the discrepancy in the assessments and documentation could
lead to an inaccurate treatment plan with the splint potentially not being consistently applied to the affected
extremity.
During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P 1), titled Occupational Therapy, dated
2/19/2021, P&P 1 indicated the following:
1. OT's principal function is to provide services to those individuals whose abilities to cope with tasks of
daily living were impaired by physical injury or illness, aging process, or psychosocial disability to achieve
optimum functioning to prevent disability and maintain health.
2. OT furnishes evaluation information and assistance to the physician, as well as plans and carries out
resident treatment in the form of exercise and purposeful activity.
3. OT assesses the resident's function and assists him/her in developing the necessary skills through which
he/she can accomplish the goals.
4. Some of the OT treatment aims and objectives include reduction of physical disability and contractures
management.
B. During a review of Resident 18's OSR for 3/2024, the OSR indicated a physician's order, dated
12/4/2023, for RNA to apply the R elbow splint 2-4 hours daily 7 times per week as tolerated by Resident
18.
During an interview and record review on 3/7/2024 at 10:15 AM with the DOR, Resident 18's OTEPT, OT

indicated Resident 18 was able to tolerate the L elbow splint for 30 minutes or less.
3. Resident 18's OT RPR&UTP, dated 11/16/2023, indicated Resident 18 was able to tolerate the L elbow
splint for less than 30 minutes.
4. Resident 18's OT DS, dated 12/4/2023, indicated Resident 18's LTG to safely wear a L elbow splint for up
to 2 hours was met upon Resident 18's discharge from rehab therapy on 12/4/2023. However, OT DS
indicated the discharge recommendations included the referral to the RNA splinting program for the
application of the R elbow splint for 2-4 hours a day daily 7 times per week.
During an interview and a concurrent review of Resident 18's records on 3/7/2024 at 10:54 AM with OT 1,
Resident 18's OTEPT, dated 10/20/2023, was reviewed. OT 1 stated the OTEPT indicated the LTG for
Resident 18 was to safely wear the L elbow splint for up to 2 hours to prevent the contractures and pain
from getting worse, prevent any skin breakdown, and maintain Resident 18's hygiene. OT 1 stated Resident
18's RUE would have a tone (tension or amount of resistance in the relaxed muscle) such that Resident 18
would hold [her RUE] at that range. OT 1 stated RUE would not need splinting.
During another interview and concurrent review on 3/7/2024 at 12:16 PM with the DOR, Resident 18's OT
Treatment Encounter Note(s) (OT TENs) were reviewed. The DOR stated the discrepancy in assessments
and documentation could lead to an inaccurate treatment plan with the splint potentially not being
consistently applied to the affected extremity. The DOR stated this could lead to worsened contractures and
skin breakdown. The DOR stated the following:
1. Resident 18's OT TENs indicated Resident 18's L elbow was treated on 10/20/23, 10/24/2023,

During an interview and concurrent record review on 3/7/2024 at 1:04 PM with Physical Therapist 1 (PT 1),
Resident 18's PTEPT and PT Discharge Summary (PT DS) were reviewed. Resident 18's both knees
would bend more and more if no splints were applied. PT 1 stated the final safe splinting time frame must
be based on Resident 18's overall average performance at least 75% of the time. PT 1 stated the goal was
to prevent worsened contractures, skin breakdown due to possible pressure sore (skin injury due to
prolonged pressure on the skin) development related to the difficulty repositioning the resident. PT 1 stated
Resident 18's PT DS indicated the following:
1. Resident 18's LTG was to tolerate splints to both knees and left ankle 3-4 hours daily without skin
breakdown or redness.
2. Resident 18 was able to tolerate B knee splints without skin breakdown or redness up to 3.5 hours upon
discharge from rehab therapy on 11/15/2023.
3. PT 1 stated it may be an unsafe practice to leave have RNA assess Resident 18's tolerance to B knee
and L ankle splints past 3.5 hours.
During an interview on 3/7/2024 at 3:14 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the rehab team must
determine the safe splinting time frame of the resident (in general) prior to the implementation of the RNA
orders. The DON stated the licensed nurse must consult with the rehab team if the splinting and/or ROM
exercises were tolerated by the resident and would like to consider increasing the splinting time to ensure
proper care and safety.
During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P 3), titled Physical Therapy, dated 2/19/2021,
P&P 3 indicated the following:
1. The purpose of PT is to provide for the relief of pain, develop and/or restore function and to achieve and
maintain maximum physical performance.
2. The goal of PT Department is to rehabilitate each resident to his/her maximal functional level.
3. PT responsibilities include assessment of residents and the therapeutic application of physical agents,
exercise, and other procedures to maximize functional independence.
4. Services include the assessment and training of orthotic and prosthetic devices and assistive devices.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility's interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health care professionals
with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of the resident) failed to accurately
assess a resident's fall risk and reassess fall prevention interventions quarterly for one of one sampled
resident (Resident 41) who was at high risk of falling, as indicated in the facility's policies and procedures
(P&P).
These failures had the potential to result in harm and Resident 41 to sustain injury and/or harm due to falls.
(Cross reference F657)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (a brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and
coordination), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), and
colostomy (an operation that creates an opening for the colon, or large intestine, through the abdomen).
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 11/23/23, the MDS indicated Resident 41 was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions)
in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 41 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) on staff for bathing. The MDS indicated resident 41 required substantial to maximal
assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting and dressing. The MDS indicated
Resident 41 had one fall with major injury (bone fractures, joint dislocations, closed head injuries, with
altered consciousness, subdural hematoma) at the facility.
During a review of Resident 41's COC/Interact Assessment Form (SBAR, Situation, Background,
Assessment, Recommendation, communication tool that helps provide essential patient information), dated
8/13/23, the SBAR indicated on 8/13/23 at around 6:00 a.m., Resident 41 stood up from Resident 41's bed
without assistance from staff and fell to the floor. The SBAR indicated Resident complained of pain on
Resident 41's right knee and right ankle. The SBAR indicated the nurse noted some swelling (did not
indicate what body part was swollen). The SBAR indicated the facility received an order for Resident 41 to
have a STAT (urgent or rushed) X-ray (a type of diagnostic imaging that creates pictures of the inside of
your body) to see if Resident 41 had any fractures.
During a review of Resident 41's Radiology Report, date of service 8/13/23, the Radiology Report indicated
the X-ray of Resident 41's right ankle showed Resident 41 had an acute (sudden) ankle fracture.
During a review of Resident 41's Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Evaluation, dated 8/21/23, the
Evaluation indicated Resident 41 had weakness and functional decline due to a recent fall at the facility
where Resident 41 sustained a right ankle fracture.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/24 at 9:04 a.m. with the MDS Nurse (MDSN),
Resident 41's Fall Risk Assessment, dated 8/3/23 (10 days before Resident 41 fell), the Fall Risk
Assessment inaccurately indicated Resident 41 was at low risk of falling. The MDSN stated the Fall Risk
Assessment was inaccurate and should have indicated Resident 41 was at high risk of falling because
Resident 41 had a diagnosis of dementia. The MDSN stated if Resident 41's Fall Risk Assessment had
been scored accurately to indicate Resident 41 was at high fall risk of falling, then the IDT would have met
to determine if Resident 41 was receiving the right interventions to minimize injuries for Resident 41. The
MDSN stated residents (in general) received a fall risk assessment every quarter to determine fall risks of
the residents. The MDSN stated if the resident was a high fall risk, the IDT discussed interventions to
determine if the interventions still applied to the resident.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/24 at 12:50 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 41's care plan titled, Superstar Star ., initiated 1/21/22, revised 8/14/23, the care plan indicated
Resident 41 was at risk of falling and/or injury secondary to, balance deficit, cognitive impairment, and poor
safety awareness. The DON stated the care plan was created because Resident 41 was at high risk of
falling. The DON stated if the quarterly fall risk assessment indicated Resident 41 was at high risk of falling,
then the IDT (a group of healthcare professionals with various areas of expertise who worked together
toward the goals of their clients) needed to review the care plan to determine if the interventions were still
appropriate to reduce or prevent Resident 41 from falling. The DON stated Resident 41's medical record did
not indicate the IDT was meeting quarterly to review Resident 41's fall risk interventions. The DON stated
the IDT could have implemented new interventions if they met quarterly and reviewed the current
interventions.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Falling Star Program, undated, the P&P indicated, residents will
be assessed for fall risk utilizing the fall risk assessment form and appropriate interventions will be
provided. The P&P indicated a quarterly review needed to be done for residents who were at high risk of
falling. The P&P indicated the facility needed to evaluate for appropriate useful interventions for fall
reduction.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Initial Fall Risk Assessment, undated, the P&P indicated if a
resident was assessed to be a moderate to high risk of fall, a plan of care would be established
immediately for implementation of interventions to attempt prevention of a fall. The P&P indicated, The plan
of care will be reviewed by the IDT quarterly and as needed for update of the resident's current needs.

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment to restore continence, to the
extent possible, by failing to implement a prompted toileting program (caregiver prompts the resident to use
the toilet) for one of one sampled resident (Resident 15).
This failure had the potential to result in incontinence and urinary tract infections (UTIs, an infection in any
part of the urinary system [system of organs that makes urine]) to Resident 15.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 22 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including schizophrenia (a disorder that affects a person's ability
to think, feel, and behave clearly), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of diseases that
cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or

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 ensure pharmacy consultant recommendations were
followed for one of one sampled resident (Resident 9). The facility did not act upon recommendations to
include ferritin/iron panel (a lab test that determines if the body has enough iron in the cells) in Resident 9's
routine labs.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a physical decline to Resident 9.
Findings:
During a review of an admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 9 was re-admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included anemia (a deficiency when the body does not have enough iron)
and dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life).
During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care-screening tool),
dated 2/9/24, indicated Resident 9 needed supervision for touching assistance with sit to lying (moves from
lying flat to sitting in bed) and sit to standing (sting in a chair to standing).
During a review of Resident 9's Order Summary Report (OSR), active orders as of 3/5/24, the OSR
included a physician's order dated 4/7/21, the order indicated to have labs (blood tests are used to measure
or examine cells, chemicals, proteins, or other substances in the blood) drawn for Ferritin and Iron panel
every three months: December, March, June, and September for Resident 9.
During a record review titled Consultant Pharmacist's Medication Regimen Review (MRR), for
recommendations created between 1/1/24 and 1/24/24 and between 2/1/24 and 2/15/24. The reviews were
completed by the facility's pharmacist consultant and indicated the, every three months routine lab orders
for December 2023 did not include the ferritin/iron panel. The review indicated to verify lab schedule for the
ferritin/iron panel.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 3/6/24 at 1:23 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON)
stated Resident 9's pharmacy recommendations were not followed for ferritin/iron labs for December 2023
and January 2024. The DON stated it was important to monitor Resident 9's ferritin/iron levels to see if
changes were needed or if corrections needed to be made.
A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled Consultant Pharmacist
Reports-Medication Regime Review (Monthly Report), the P&P indicated the consultant pharmacist
performs a comprehensive medication regimen review (MRR) at least monthly. The MRR includes
evaluating the resident's response to medication therapy to determine that the resident maintains the
highest practicable level of functioning and prevents or minimizes adverse consequences related to
mediation therapy. Recommendations are acted upon and documented by the facility staff and or the
prescriber. If irregularities are found, the DON and/or designated licensed nurse will follow up with the
prescriber within three working days of receipt of the MRR report.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Lithium (medication used to treat
mood disorders) level (blood drawn to check the Lithium level in the blood and determine if the level is
within the therapeutic range [quantitative measurement of the relative safety of a drug], subtherapeutic
[concentration of a drug lower than what is usually prescribed to treat a disease effectively], or indicating
Lithium toxicity[an adverse drug reaction due to increased drug concentration in the blood]) for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 6) was obtained as ordered by the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to cause lithium toxicity, worsened behavioral symptoms due to not enough
drug in the blood, and a decline in Resident 6's physical and psychological well-being due to a delay in
services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 6's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 6 on 2/5/10 with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (progressive disorder affecting
the nervous system and the body parts controlled by the nerves), convulsions (uncontrolled shaking of the
body), and bipolar disorder (serious mental illness, causing unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels,
and concentration).
During a review of Resident 6's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/20/24, the H&P indicated Resident 6
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident assessment and
care-planning tool), dated 2/16/24, the MDS indicated Resident 6 had severe impairment in cognition
(ability to understand and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 6 required supervision or
touching assistance (staff provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance
as resident completes activity) with mobility. The MDS indicated Resident 6 required partial/moderate
assistance to supervision or touching assistance with some self-care activities.
During a review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report (OSR), the OSR indicated the active physician's
orders as of 3/6/24:
1.
Order Date 12/4/14 - Lithium level every month.
2.
Order Date 12/4/14 - Administer Lithium Carbonate 300 milligrams (mg. unit of measurement) 1 capsule by
mouth at bedtime for bipolar disorder as manifested by constant hyperactivity (extreme restlessness or
talking too much).
During an interview and concurrent review of Resident 6's records on 3/6/24 at 2:31 p.m., with Licensed
Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), Resident 6's AR, physician's orders, evaluations and progress notes, and
laboratory results were reviewed. LVN 1 stated the Lithium level was not obtained in 9/2023 as ordered by
the physician. LVN 1 stated it was important to obtain the Lithium level monthly to

ensure it [the drug] was within the normal range and to inform the physician if the Lithium level was outside
the normal range.
During an interview on 3/7/24 at 3:14 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident 6's Lithium level
in the blood must be checked monthly to closely monitor the therapeutic level of the Lithium dose. The DON
stated if the level was too low, the resident might have worsened behavioral symptoms. The DON stated if
toxic levels were identified, the resident could have confusion, go into coma, or have other medical
emergencies.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Laboratory Tests, undated, the P&P
indicated laboratory requests must be completed as ordered or by month-end. The P&P indicated abnormal
lab results must be communicated to the attending physician in a timely manner. The P&P indicated other
laboratory values, such as normal labs, must be communicated to the attending physician as requested.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/4/24 at 10 a.m. with the Certified Dietary Manager
(CDM) in Food Storage room [ROOM NUMBER], three bags of opened foods were observed. There was
one undated half full bag of egg noodles, one undated opened bag of tortilla chips, and one undated
opened bag of potato chips all sitting on a shelf. The CDM stated the bags needed to be dated when
opened to ensure kitchen staff used the bag before the food went bad. The CDM stated residents could get
sick if served expired food.
During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Labeling: Food, the P&P indicated, food that is cooked
or open will be labeled with name of food item and date opened.

contract between the facility and resident requiring disputes to be resolved by an arbitrator [third party
decision-maker] instead of a judge or jury in court) for two of two sampled residents (Residents 40 and 18)
provided for following:
Residents Affected - Few
A. For Resident 40, the signed BAA failed to provide for the selection of a convenient venue (location to
carry out arbitration proceedings agreed upon and suitable to both parties) and a neutral arbitrator
(impartial or unbiased third-party decision maker, contracted with, and agreed to by both parties to resolve
their dispute).
B. For Resident 18, the signed BAA failed to provide for the selection of a convenient venue and a neutral
arbitrator.
These failures had a potential to result in a decline in the residents' physical and/or psychosocial condition
due to the possible hardships related to arbitration proceedings.
Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 40's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 40 on 7/18/23 with multiple diagnoses including dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or
make decisions that interferes with daily activities), bipolar disorder (serious mental illness, causing unusual
shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration), seizures (uncontrolled electrical activity in the
brain), and generalized muscle weakness. The AR indicated Resident 40 had Responsible Party 1 (RP 1).
During a review of Resident 40's History and Physical (H&P), dated 7/20/23, The H&P indicated Resident
40 did not have the capacity to make decisions due to dementia.
During a review of Resident 40's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized resident screening and
care-planning tool), dated 7/23/24, the MDS indicated Resident 40 had severely impaired cognitive skills
(ability to think, pay attention, process information, and remember) for daily decision making. The MDS
indicated Resident 40 required extensive assistance with activities of daily living (ADL).
During an interview and a concurrent review of Resident 40's BAA on 3/6/24 at 2:04 p.m., with Admissions
Coordinator 1 (AC 1), Resident 40's BAA, dated 4/14/21, was signed by RP 1, AC 1 stated Resident 40's
signed BAA did not provide a selection of a venue and a neutral arbitrator.
B. During a review of Resident 18's AR, the AR indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 18 on
10/19/23 with multiple diagnoses including dementia, syncope (fainting) and collapse (fall down), anxiety
disorder (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), and generalized muscle
weakness. The AR indicated Resident 18's primary decision maker was Responsible Party 2 (RP 2).
During a review of Resident 18's H&P, dated 10/21/23, the H&P indicated Resident 18 did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.

This failure had the potential to result in cross contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful
bacteria and viruses [organisms that cause disease] from one surface to another) and the spread of
infection to Resident 41.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (a brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and
coordination), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), and
colostomy (an operation that creates an opening for the colon, or large intestine, through the abdomen).
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 11/23/23, the MDS indicated Resident 41 was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions)
in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 41 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) on staff for bathing. The MDS indicated resident 41 required substantial to maximal
assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting and dressing. The MDS indicated
Resident 41 had an ostomy (allows bodily waste to pass through a surgically created stoma on the
abdomen).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/4/24 at 2:34 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 2, Resident 41 was lying in Resident 41's bed. CNA 2 was changing Resident 41's soiled brief
(diaper) and CNA 2 was not wearing a gown (PPE) as indicated on the sign posted on Resident 41's room
doorway. CNA 2 stated CNA 2 forgot to put on a gown before changing Resident 41's soiled brief. The sign
at the doorway indicated staff were to wear a gown when changing incontinent (wet) briefs.
During an interview on 3/5/24 at 12:13 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), The IP stated Resident 41
was on enhanced standard precautions (ESP, the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care
activities that provide opportunities for transfer of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO] to staff hands and
clothing) because Resident 41 had a colostomy. The IP stated any resident who had a medical device (such
as a colostomy) was placed on ESP to prevent staff from transmitting a MDRO to the resident (in general)
and to protect the integrity of the resident. The IP stated staff needed to wear gowns and gloves whenever
providing high contact tasks (such as changing wet briefs) for Resident 41. The IP stated Resident 41 could
contract an infection if staff did not follow ESP protocol.
During a review of Resident 41's care plan titled Other Contact Isolation: Enhanced Standard Precautions
revised 4/13/23, the care plan's interventions indicated, Will observe standard barrier precautions.

Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single
resident rooms.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' bedrooms measured at
least 80 square feet (sq. ft., a unit of measurement) per resident in multiple resident bedrooms for 20 of 23
resident rooms (Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12,16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24).
Nineteen resident rooms: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12,16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 had two beds
inside each room and one resident room: 24, had four beds inside the room.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the residents not to have enough room or move freely
throughout their rooms and limit the space for facility staff to provide services and treatments for the
residents residing in the rooms.
Findings:
During an observation of the initial tour of the facility on 3/4/24, between 11 a.m., to 12:30 p.m., 20 rooms
(rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12,16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24) were observed and did not meet
the requirement of 80 square feet (sq./ft.) per residents in multiple resident rooms. Residents who resided
in these rooms were able to ambulate freely and nursing staff had enough space to provide care to the
residents. In these rooms, there was ample space for resident's beds, side tables, and dressers.
During a review of the facility's room waiver request letter (RWRL) dated 3/4/24 indicated there was
reasonable privacy, closet, and storage space provided in each resident room. The letter indicated there
was sufficient room for staff to provide nursing care, enough room for resident equipment. The letter
indicated all rooms had windows, no room was below ground level, and the health and safety of each
resident would not be jeopardized by the waiver.
The RWRL indicated the following total sq. ft. per room:

Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
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 call light (a device used by a
resident to signal the need for assistance) system was within reach for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 41) as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Call Lights.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in unmet needs for Resident 41 or the potential to result in Resident
41 to experience harm if Resident 41 was unable to alert staff during an emergency.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 41 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's Disease (a brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and
coordination), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), and
colostomy (an operation that creates an opening for the colon, or large intestine, through the abdomen).
During a review of Resident 41's care plan titled Resident has Self Care Deficits: revised 11/14/22, the care
plan's interventions indicated to place the call light within reach of Resident 41.
During a review of Resident 41's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 11/23/23, the MDS indicated Resident 41 was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions)
in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 41 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) on staff for bathing. The MDS indicated resident 41 required substantial to maximal
assistance (helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting and dressing. The MDS indicated
Resident 41 had one fall with major injury (bone fractures, joint dislocations, closed head injuries, with
altered consciousness, subdural hematoma) at the facility.
During an observation on 3/4/24 at 2:39 p.m., Resident 41 was asleep in Resident 41's bed. The call light
cord was connected to the wall located near the foot of Resident 41's bed. The cord was stretched out and
clipped on the blanket located next to Resident 41's left knee and was not within reach of Resident 41.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/4/24 at 2:45 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1,
Resident 41 was in Resident 41's bed. Resident 41's call light cord was stretched out and clipped on the
blanket located next to Resident 41's left knee and out of reach for Resident 41. RN 1 moved the call light
cord close to Resident 41's left hand. RN 1 stated Resident 41 was not able to reach the cord because it
was clipped near Resident 41's left knee.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/6/24 at 2:23 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 41's call light cord was clipped to Resident 41's blanket located next to Resident 41's left knee
and was out of reach for Resident 41. The DON stated the DON would instruct maintenance to make the
cord longer so Resident 41 could reach the call light cord. The DON stated Resident 41 should have a call
light in case Resident 41 needed assistance. The DON stated the call light was the only way residents (in
general) could alert staff when they needed help.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Call Lights, undated, the P&P indicated the purpose
