Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to fully inform the resident or
responsible party and obtain a completed informed consent prior to the use of the psychotropic
medications for three of five final sampled residents (Residents 2, 4, and 14) reviewed for unnecessary
psychotropic medications. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 2's consent form for the use of risperidone
(antipsychotic medication) included information about the medication's exact daily dosage. * The facility
failed to ensure the informed consent was obtained from Resident 4's representative prior to Resident 4's
use of mirtazapine (antidepressant medication), alprazolam (antianxiety medication) and quetiapine
(antipsychotic medication). * The facility failed to ensure Resident 14's Public Patient Representative was
informed or involved when obtaining informed consent for the use of fluoxetine (antidepressant medication)
and olanzapine (antipsychotic medication) use. These failures had the potential for the residents and their
responsible party to be unaware of the risks associated with the psychotropic medications and the potential
side effects.Findings:

4. Review of the facility's P&P titled Chemical Restraints and Psychotropic Medication Management dated
4/2025 showed based on a comprehensive assessment the facility will ensure the residents who use
psychotropic drugs receive gradual dose reductions, and behavioral interventions, unless clinically
contraindicated, in an effort to discontinue these drugs.
Medical record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 1/6/25. Resident 4 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE].

with RN 2. RN 2 stated the nonpharmacological interventions for the use of alprazolam, mirtazapine, and
Seroquel medications were documented in Resident 4's MAR. RN 2 verified the nonpharmacological
interventions provided for Resident 4 were not separated for each of the alprazolam, mirtazapine, and
Seroquel medications, or behaviors manifested for the resident. RN 2 stated they would not know the
effectiveness of the nonpharmacological interventions for each psychotropic medication because the
nonpharmacological interventions were documented together, and not separately.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the PASRR
(Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) screening was accurately completed for one of five final
sampled residents (Resident 12) reviewed for PASRR. * Resident 12's PASRR Level 1 screening was not
updated to include the serious mental illness diagnosis. This failure had the potential of not providing the
resident to be screened for mental illness or intellectual disabilities with additional resources if
needed.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Assessment - PASRR dated 12/2021 showed
it is the policy of this facility to ensure that each resident is properly screened using the PASRR specified by
the State. A PASRR shall be completed on every resident upon admission. Based upon the assessment,
the facility will ensure proper referral to appropriate state agencies for the provision of specialized services
to residents with intellectual disability or related condition or serious mental illness. Medical record review
for Resident 12 was initiated on 1/6/26. Resident 12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of
Resident 12's PASRR Level I Screening dated 11/24/25, showed under Section III - Serious Mental Illness,
No was marked for whether the resident was diagnosed with serious mental illness such as psychosis and
mood disturbance. Review of Resident 12's H&P examination dated 11/25/25, showed Resident 12 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 12's Face sheet - Diagnosis Information
dated 1/9/26, showed Resident 12 had a diagnosis of unspecified psychosis with the onset date of
11/24/25. On 1/13/26 at 1420 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 12
was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator stated the acute care hospital completed
the PASARR; however, if there were discrepancies in the information, then the facility would update and
complete the PASRR for the resident upon admission. The MDS Coordinator verified Resident 12 had a
diagnosis of psychosis upon admission and stated Section III of Resident 12's PASRR Level I Screening
dated 11/24/25, should have been marked, Yes. The MDS Coordinator further stated the facility should have
done a reassessment and submitted another PASRR with accurate information. On 1/14/26 at 1440 hours,
an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON acknowledged the above findings.

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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to develop a care plan and
implement care plan interventions for four of 33 final sampled residents (Residents 42, 95, and 161) and
one of three closed record sampled residents (Resident 83). * The facility failed to implement Resident 42
and 95's care plan intervention to monitor the residents' safety for entrapment every shift. * The facility failed
to develop a care plan to address Resident 83's intergluteal cleft extending to perianal (describes the
natural groove between the buttocks that reaches the anus) MASD (Moisture-Associated Skin Damage,
skin inflammation or erosion from prolonged exposure to moisture like urine, feces, sweat, or wound
drainage, weakening the skin's barrier and making it vulnerable to irritation, infection, friction, and
breakdown). * The facility failed to develop a care plan to address Resident 161's left upper arm midline
catheter. These failures had the potential risk of not providing appropriate, consistent, and individualized
care to these residents.Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning revised April 2025
showed it is the policy of this facility that the IDT shall develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan
for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing,
mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. The IDT team will
also develop and implement a baseline care plan for each resident, within 48 hours of admission, that
includes minimum healthcare information necessary to properly care for each resident and instructions
needed to provide effective and person-centered care that meet professional standards of quality care.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
necessary care and services were provided to prevent the development of a new pressure injury (areas of
damaged skin caused by staying in one position for a long time which reduces blood flow to the area and
causes the skin to die and develop a sore) and promote healing of the existing pressure ulcer for two of four
final sampled residents (Residents 2 and 30) reviewed for pressure injury. * RN 4 failed to follow Resident
2's physician's order to cleanse the pressure injury with normal saline during the wound care observation. *
The facility failed to ensure Resident 30's heels were elevated on pillow to offload pressure as ordered by
the physician. These failures posed the risks of complications and delayed wound healing for Resident 2
and potential development of pressure injury for Resident 30. Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled
Physician Orders revised 1/2019 showed no drugs or biologicals shall be administered except upon the
order of a person lawfully authorized to prescribe for and treat human illnesses. Medical record review for
Resident 2 was initiated on 1/7/26. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident
2's H&P examination dated 7/3/25, showed the resident was able to make decisions. Review of Resident
2's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed the resident's BIMS score was 5, indicating severe cognitive
impairment. Under section GG, the resident was dependent for bed mobility. Under section H, the resident
was always incontinent of both urinary and bowel function. Review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report
showed a physician's order dated 1/7/26, to cleanse sacrococcyx (area lowest part of the spine, above the
buttocks) extending to right and left buttocks with normal saline apply Santyl (collagenase) External
Ointment 250 unit/gm topically and cover with dry dressing every day shift. On 1/8/26 at 1430 hours, a
wound care observation for Resident 2 was conducted with RN 4. RN 4 used the Skintegrity wound
cleanser to clean Resident 2's sacrococcyx pressure injury. On 1/8/26 at 1453 hours, an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with RN 4. RN 4 verified she used the Skintegrity wound cleanser to
clean Resident 2's pressure injury. The Skintegrity wound cleanser's label showed it contained water
Polysorbate 80, cocoamphodiacetate, and Lauryl Polyglucose, along with other gentle ingredients like
Sorbitol, Lactic Acid, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, and Diazolidinyl Urea (or
Imidazolidinyl Urea) (non-ionic surfactants). RN 4 stated she read the physician's order incorrectly and
should have used normal saline to clean Resident 2's wound. On 1/14/26 at 1458 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated the expectation was for the licensed nurses to follow the
physician's order when providing wound care for the resident. The DON was informed and acknowledged
the above findings. 2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Skin Management revised on May 2020 showed to
prevent the development of skin breakdown or prevent existing pressure injuries from worsening, nursing
staff shall implement preventative approaches as appropriate and consistent with resident's condition and
preferences: Reposition the individual in such a way that pressure is relieved or redistributed. Use pressure
relieving/ reducing and redistributing devices (including but not limited to low air loss mattresses, wedges
and pillows). Medical record review for Resident 30 was initiated on 1/7/26. Resident 30 was admitted in the
facility on 5/31/25. Review of Resident 30's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated
11/9/25, to elevate heels on pillow when in bed to offload pressure. Review of Resident 30's MDS
assessment dated [DATE], showed the resident's BIMS score was 14, indicating the resident was
cognitively intact. Under section GG, the resident was dependent for bed mobility. Review of Resident 30's
care plans showed the following:- dated 5/31/25, a care plan for risk for development or skin breakdown;
and- dated 11/9/25, a care plan for a resolved pressure injury to the right heel.

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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the Pharmacist
Consultant identified and reported all irregularities during the monthly medication regimen for one of five
final sampled residents (Resident 6) reviewed for pharmaceutical services. * Resident 6 was diagnosed
with diabetes and was on long term insulin. Resident 6 did not have a Hemoglobin A1C test completed for
over a year. This failure resulted in inadequate management of Resident 6's diabetes, increasing the risk of
serious health issues.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled medication Regimen Review last revised
5/2025 stated the Pharmacist Consultant reviews the medication regimen of each resident at least monthly.
Findings and recommendations are reported to the Administrator, Director of Nursing, the responsible
physician and the Medical Director where appropriate.The monthly review visit includes review of all drugs
ordered, information concerning the resident related to the drug therapy, physician progress notes, nurses'
notes, and laboratory results. The Pharmacist Consultant documents potential or actual medication therapy
problems and communicates them to the responsible physician and the director of nursing. Medical record
review for Resident 6 was completed on 1/9/26. Resident 6 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 6's laboratory result dated 1/2/25, showed the resident had a Hemoglobin A1C result of
5.7%, outside the laboratory reference range of 4.6-5.6 %. Review of Resident 6's Order Summary Report
showed the following orders:- dated 3/11/25, for insulin Glargine Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 100
unit/ml (Insulin Glargine) inject 5 units subcutaneously one time a day to treat Type 2 diabetes. - dated
7/21/25, for insulin Lispro Injection Solution 100 unit/ml (Insulin Lispro) inject as per sliding scale: if blood
sugar 70 - 150 mg/dL = 0-unit insulin, blood sugar less than 70 mg/dL, may give 8oz orange juice if able to
swallow or 1 mg Glucagon intramuscularly if unresponsive & call the doctor; blood sugar 151 - 200 mg/dL =
1-units insulin; 201 - 250 mg/dL = 2-units insulin; 251 - 300 mg/dL = 3-units insulin; 301 - 350 mg/dL =
4-units insulin; 351 - 400 mg/dL = 5-units insulin, blood sugar 400 mg/dL give 6-units insulin and call the
responsible physician. Review of the Medication Regimen Review report completed monthly by the
Pharmacist Consultant in 2025 failed to show a recommendation for Resident 6's Hemoglobin A1C test.
Further review of Resident 6's medical record documentation failed to show a follow up was completed for a
Hemoglobin A1C test. On 1/14/26 at 1346 hours, a telephone interview and concurrent medical record
review was conducted with the Pharmacist Consultant. The Pharmacist Consultant stated the Hemoglobin
A1C test should be done every three to six months. The Pharmacist Consultant stated they typically would
not go past six months without checking/monitoring the Hemoglobin A1C test result and it should have
been followed up. Cross reference to F757, example #4.
