F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the licensed nurse followed the manufacturer's instructions for priming an insulin pen, for one of six residents observed during medication administration (Resident 30).This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate insulin dosing and adverse effects, such as poor glycemic control. Findings:On August 25, 2025, at 11:39 a.m., during a medication administration observation with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 was observed pricking Resident 30's right middle finger to obtain a blood sample.On August 25, 2025, at 11:55 a.m., LVN 1 was observed removing an insulin pen Insulin Lispro KwikPen (a prefilled pen containing insulin lispro, a rapid-acting insulin used to lower blood glucose) from the medication cart. LVN 1 removed the pen cap, attached a new needle to the pen hub without wiping the rubber seal with an alcohol swab, then turned the dose knob to select two (2) units to prime (a process of removing air from the insulin pen and needle before each injection) the pen. LVN 1 then quickly pushed the dose knob while holding the pen with the needle pointing downward, instead of upright. LVN 1 then turned the dose knob to 4 units and injected the insulin into Resident 30's abdomen. A review of Resident 30's physician's order, dated August 20, 2025, indicated, Insulin Lispro Injection Solution (Insulin Lispro), Inject 4 unit subcutaneously (Sub-Q, injection into the fatty tissue under the skin) before meals for DM2 (Diabetes Mellitus type 2, a condition where the body has trouble regulating blood sugar levels), Give TID (three times a day) before meals. Hold if BS (blood sugar) is < 70 mg/dL (milligram per deciliter - unit of measurement).On August 26, 2025, at 9:20 a.m., during an interview with LVN 1, LVN 1 confirmed the insulin pen was held with the needle pointing downward during priming. LVN 1 stated he was unaware that the manufacturer's instructions require the pen to be positioned upright when priming. On August 26, 2025, at 3:10 p.m., during an interview with Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated the insulin pen should be primed with two (2) units while holding the pen upright and pressing the dose knob until fluid appears at the needle tip. The IP further stated priming with the pen pointed downward may not remove air bubbles and could affect the amount of insulin medication injected after priming. On August 28, 2025, at 11:43 a.m., during an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated pointing the insulin pen needle downward was not the appropriate priming technique. The ADON stated the pen should be primed with two (2) units with the needle facing upward, while holding the dose knob in for five (5) seconds. A review of the manufacturer's package inserts (PI document included in the package of a medication that provides information about that drug and its use), dated July 2023, indicated: .Step 6: To prime your pen, turn the Dose Knob to select two (2) units. Step 7: Hold your pen with the needle pointing up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top. Step 8: Continue holding your pen with Needle pointing up. Push the Dose Knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen in the Dose window. Hold the Dose Knob in and count to 5 slowly. You should see insulin at the tip of the Needle. If you do not see insulin, repeat priming steps 6 to 8, no more than 4 times. If you still do not see insulin, change the Needle and repeat priming steps 6 to 8.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed for four of six residents reviewed for weight loss (Residents 12, 11, 33, and 32) the following:1. For Resident 12, who was not on a planned weight loss program (an approach to losing and maintaining weight characterized by a reduced-calorie, nutritionally balanced eating plan, regular physical activity, and a behavior change component to promote sustained lifestyle habits), the facility failed to assess the continued weight loss from 153 pounds (lbs.-unit of measurement) to 131 lbs. since January 2025, and initiate interventions to prevent further loss.This failure resulted in Resident 12 losing weight since admission to the facility. Resident 12 lost 24 lbs. since admission. (admission weight 153, in January 2025, and was 129 lbs. in August 2025). 2. For Resident 11, who was not on a planned weight loss program, the facility failed to assess the continued weight loss from 247 lbs. to 217 lbs. since February 3, 2025, and initiate interventions to prevent further loss. In addition, the facility did not update and did not develop a person-centered nutrition care plan to meet Resident 11s' needs.This failure resulted in Resident 12 losing 30 lbs. (247 lbs in February 2025, and was 217 lbs. in August 2025). These failures could contribute for Residents 12 and 11 to have further weight loss and affect overall health condition. 3. For Resident 33, the facility's IDT weight variance committee (committee that addresses issues of weight variance) failed to document and monitor the effectiveness of the nutritional interventions.This failure can lead to serious health complications, and poor patient outcomes such as worsening malnutrition, slower wound healing, and increased risk of chronic diseases. 4. For Resident 32, the facility's IDT weight variance committee failed to document and monitor the effectiveness of nutritional interventions for Resident 32.This failure can lead to serious health complications, and poor patient outcomes such as worsening malnutrition, slower wound healing, and increased risk of chronic diseases.Findings: Residents Affected - Few 1. According to a review of the web article titled American Academy of Family Physicians, published on February 15, 2002, which indicated, .Involuntary weight loss can lead to muscle wasting (thinning or loss of muscle tissue) .depression (mood disorder) and an increased rate of disease complications. Various studies demonstrated a strong correlation between weight loss and morbidity (having a disease or a symptom of disease) and mortality (death). One study showed that nursing home patients had a significantly higher mortality rate in the six months after losing 10 percent of their body weight, irrespective of diagnoses or cause of death. In another study, institutionalized elderly patients who lost 5 (five) percent of their body weight in one month were found to be four times more likely to die within one year . According to a review of the web article titled Journal of the American Dietetic Association (currently called the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics), published October 2010, which indicated, .Unintended weight loss is defined as a gradual, unplanned weight loss that may occur slowly over time or have a rapid onset. In older adults, a 5% or more unplanned weight loss in 30 days often results in protein-energy undernutrition as critical lean body mass is lost . A research titled Dehydration in the Elderly, published by A. Kobringer, in 2011, indicated, .weight loss is a strong indicator of malnutrition and poor nutrition status . On August 25, 2025, starting at 12:06 p.m., Resident 12 was observed sitting at Table 4 with other residents during lunch meal observation. Resident 12's lunch meal was set up in front of the resident and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 6 was observed feeding Resident 12.

LVN 3 stated there was no documentation regarding the indication for 4LPM on August 26, 2025. LVN 3 obtained Resident 13's oxygen saturation, results of 99% at 3.5 LPM.On August 27, 2025, at 4:40 p.m., an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing ADON was conducted. The ADON stated the oxygen saturation should be monitored if the resident had an order for oxygen administration. The ADON stated the charge nurse was responsible in monitoring the resident's oxygen saturation every shift. The ADON stated the charge nurse should check the oxygen liters to verify with the physician order for oxygen. The ADON stated the charge nurse would titrate the oxygen rate to an additional 1-2 liters from the original oxygen order if the oxygen saturation is below the oxygen saturation parameter. The ADON stated there should be documentation on the MAR (medication administration record) of the oxygen saturation if it resulted to below 93% and if the oxygen rate was titrated above 2 LPM. The ADON stated if the MD gave new orders, then there should be a progress note by the charge nurse, a change of condition documentation and care plan updated.A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Administration Policy, date Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555135 If continuation sheet Page 20 of 31 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555135 B.
