Residents Affected - Few
1. Ensure the physician provided the informed consent (the process in which a health care professional
educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or medication) on the
use of antipsychotic (drugs that treat psychosis [mental distress, mental disorder] and related conditions
and symptoms) medication for one of one sampled resident (Resident 43) prior to the verbal consent
obtained from Resident 43's representative. This failure had the potential for the resident and/or the
resident representative to not receive the appropriate information regarding the drug, its indication,
side-effects, and make the right decision.
2. Ensure licensed personnel witness and validate the verbal consent received from the resident
representative for one of one resident (Resident 43) and sign the informed consent form to validate the
consent and the material information provided. This failure had the potential for the informed consent to be
dismissed.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/18/24 at 2:28 p.m. with
Minimum Data Set (resident assessment tool) Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 43's Informed Consent

signed the ICPM on 9/26/24. MDSC stated the ICPM form was signed prior to the physician providing the
informed consent. MDSC stated the doctor signed the ICPM after the verbal consent was obtained.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 12/18/24 at 2:48 p.m. with MDSC, Resident 43's ICPM,
dated 4/19/24, was reviewed. The ICPM indicated, Temazepam (sedative [slows down brain activity] and
medication to treat insomnia [difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep]) 15 mg one tablet PO (oral) every hs
(at bedtime). MDSC stated verbal consent was obtained from the resident's representative on 4/17/24.
MDSC stated MD 1 signed the ICPM on 4/19/24. MDSC stated the resident's representative did not receive
the informed consent from the physician who prescribed the medication at the time the verbal consent was
obtained. MDSC stated the doctor signed the ICPM after the verbal consent was obtained.
2. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/24 at 2:50 p.m. with MDSC, Resident 43's

During a review of Resident 12's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 12 was admitted on
[DATE] with diagnosis including, Diabetes Mellitus (blood sugar is too high) with diabetic neuropathy (nerve
damage that is caused by diabetes), End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD- final, permanent stage of chronic
kidney disease).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/24 at 1:58 p.m. with Minimum Data Set (resident

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Admissions Coordinator (AC) had the
full understanding of the Binding Arbitration Agreement (BAA-the parties waive their right to a trial and
agree to accept the arbitrator's decision as final) to be able to explain the content of the BAA for three of 47
sampled residents (Resident 7, Resident 8, and Resident 64) in the manner, form, and language
understood by the resident and/or resident representative. This failure had the potential for Resident 7,
Resident 8, and Resident 64 and/or their representatives to be misinformed and not fully understand the
terms and conditions stipulated in the arbitration agreement.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During an interview on 12/19/24 at 8:21 a.m. with AC, AC stated there were 47 residents who had
participated and signed the BAA. AC stated the BAA is part of the admissions packet. AC stated the
expectation of the Administrator and Leadership was to ensure the arbitration agreement was signed. AC
stated, I inform the resident and/or the resident representative they will go to a mediator meeting and try to
resolve the dispute rather than going to court. By not going to arbitration, you pay for your own lawyer and
the case can take longer, thus causing you more money. Arbitration is less expensive and quicker way to
resolve the dispute. AC stated, I do not explain the 'Articles' in the BAA. I do not know what the Articles in
the Agreement meant. I inform the resident or resident representative that arbitration is the cheaper
alternative rather than going to court. AC stated he did not discuss the Articles (actual contract of the
agreement) included in the Arbitration Agreement.
The Articles of the Agreement included:
Article 1 - Medical Malpractice Claims
Article 2 - Other Claims
Article 3 -Scope of Agreement
Article 4 - Delegation of Authority
Article 5 - Retroactive Effect: (covers services prior to signing the agreement, making the agreement
effective on the first day of admission)
