**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide proper pharmaceutical services for
three of three residents (Residents 45, 134, 146) when: 1. The administration of busPIRONE (anti-anxiety
medication that is primarily used to treat general anxiety disorder) was 3 hours and 55 minutes late for one
resident (Resident 45).2. There were delays in the MAR documentation after controlled medications were
removed from the locked storage for two of two randomly selected residents (Resident 134 and 146).As a
result, it could not be determined what time the medications were administered to Residents 45, 134, and
146. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 45's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on [DATE].A review of Resident 45's physician's order dated 11/19/25 indicated: - busPIRONE oral
tablet 5 mg (milligram) give one tablet by mouth two times a day for anxiety (scheduled at 9 A.M. and 6
P.M.).On 12/2/25 at 2:47 P.M., a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 45's physician order
and MAR for November 2025 for buspirone was conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 11. LN 11 reviewed
and stated that Resident 45's physician ordered administration time for busPIRONE was at 9 A.M. on
11/27/25, but the administration time entered in the MAR was at 1:55 P.M. LN 11 then reviewed Resident
45's clinical record. LN 11 stated there was no documentation to explain the delay of the resident's
busPIRONE administration. LN 11 stated medication administration time window was one hour before and
after the scheduled time. LN 11 stated there should have been documentation of the administration delay. 2.
A review of Resident 134's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].A
review of Resident 134's physician's order dated 11/25/25, indicated: - Lyrica Capsule 75 mg give one
capsule by mouth one time a day for pain. A record review of Resident 134's CDR and MAR for November
2025 documentation for Lyrica was conducted. The CDR indicated on 11/30/25, Resident 134's Lyrica was
removed from the locked storage at 9 A.M. and the MAR indicated that the resident was administered the
medication at 11:25 A.M.A review of Resident 146's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including epilepsy (a brain condition causing repeated seizures).A
review of Resident 146's physician's order dated 11/23/25, indicated: - Lacosamide oral tablet 200 mg give
one tablet by mouth two times a day for epilepsy (scheduled for 9 A.M. and 9 P.M.). On 12/3/25 at 2:58 P.M.
a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 146's lacosamide documentation for the CDR and
MAR for December 2025 was conducted with LN 11. LN 11 stated that the resident's CDR documentation
on 12/3/25 indicated the medication was removed from the locked storage at 8:03 A.M., while the
administration of the medication was documented in the MAR at 9:59 A.M. LN 11 stated it was her
documentation. LN 11 stated she documented the resident's lacosamide late on the MAR. LN 11 stated she
gave the lacosamide with the rest of the resident's morning medications scheduled at 9 A.M. but forgot to
document it until 9:59 A.M. LN 11 stated she should have documented the lacosamide administration
immediately after it was administered to the resident.On 12/4/25 at 2:25 P.M., a joint interview and record
review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON reviewed Resident 45's busPIRONE
MAR for November 2025. The DON reviewed the resident's clinical record and stated there was no
documentation that explained the late administration of busPIRONE on 11/27/25. The DON stated her
expectation was for the nurses to document in the MAR immediately after the medications were
administered. The DON stated she expected the nurses to notify the provider if a medication was not given
at a scheduled time and to document the notification and the reason for the delay in the resident's clinical
record. The DON reviewed Resident 134's discrepancies on the CDR and November 2025 MAR for the
9A.M. dose of Lyrica on 11/30/25. The DON reviewed Resident 146's

service.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two kitchen staff (Cook 1
and cook assistant [CA]) were competent in taking final food temperatures and proper use of the
thermometer.As a result of these deficient practices, there was the potential for residents' food to have
been contaminated and unsafe to consume.Findings:On 12/3/25 at 10:46 A.M., an observation was
conducted in the kitchen. [NAME] 1 was observed calibrating the facility's digital thermometer (orange in
color) that would be used to take food temperatures. [NAME] 1 placed the thermometer into a full cup of ice
water. The thermometer shut off at 33 degrees Fahrenheit ( F) and did not reach 32 F. The thermometer
was turned back on, and it then read 34 F and continued to increase in temperature. [NAME] 1 stated the
thermometer did not calibrate. The DM provided another digital thermometer (black in color) to [NAME] 1.
The second thermometer reached 32 F and calibrated with no issues. On 12/3/25 at 10:50 A.M., [NAME] 1
began to take the temperatures of the food as it was placed on the steam table using the orange digital
thermometer. [NAME] 1 was asked why she was using the thermometer that did not calibrate. [NAME] 1
stated the black one was for taking the temperature of cold food. [NAME] 1 stated she always used the
orange thermometer to take the temperature of hot food. The DM stated the orange thermometer was
broken and should not have been used to take food temperatures. The DM instructed [NAME] 1 to use the
black thermometer to take final food temperatures. On 12/3/25 at 11:25 A.M., [NAME] 1 was observed
serving food. [NAME] 1 was not observed taking the final temperature of the chopped lasagna. [NAME] 1
was asked what the final temperature of the chopped lasagna was. The food temperature log was reviewed
with [NAME] 1. [NAME] 1 stated she did not write down the final temperature of the chopped lasagna
because there was no space to write it on the form. [NAME] 1 then stated she should have taken the
temperature of the chopped lasagna before serving it.On 12/3/25 at 11:35 A.M., [NAME] Assistant (CA)
was observed bringing another lasagna out from the cooking area and placing it on the steam table. CA
was not observed taking the final temperature of the lasagna. On 12/3/25 at 11:45 A.M., an interview was
conducted with the CA. CA 1 was asked what the final temperature of the lasagna brought out at 11:35
A.M., was. Half the lasagna had already been served. CA stated she did not write the final temperature
down. CA was asked if she took the final temperature of the lasagna. CA stated, No.A review of [NAME] 1
and CA's Competencies for Food and Nutrition Services Employees (competency checklist) dated 3/12/25
and 3/13/25, indicated, .Food safety Requirements. Uses thermometers correctly to check food
temperatures.Checks and records temperatures prior to service. On 12/4/25 at 9:55 A.M., an interview and
record review was conducted with the DM and the registered dietitian (RD). The DM reviewed [NAME] 1
and the CA's Competencies for Food and Nutrition Services Employees. The DM stated there was no
section related to thermometer calibration on the competency checklist. The RD stated there should have
been a section on the Competencies for Food and Nutrition Services Employees that addressed calibrating
the thermometer and what to do if the thermometer did not calibrate. The DM and RD both stated [NAME] 1
had not been competent. The DM and RD stated [NAME] 1 should have known not to use a malfunctioning
thermometer that did not calibrate. The DM and RD both stated it was their expectation for final food
temperatures to be taken on all food items prior to being served. The DM and RD both stated this had to be
done to ensure the food was safe to serve to the residents. The DM and RD both acknowledged taking food
temperatures were on both [NAME] 1 and the CA's Competencies for Food and Nutrition Services
Employees.A review of the facility's policy titled Policy & Procedure Manual Personnel-General dated 2023,
indicated, Policy: The food and nutrition services department will be staffed to assure that sufficient,
competent, supportive personnel carry out the functions of the department.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow appropriate infection prevention and
control practices when a nurse did not clean the blood pressure cuff in between resident uses for three of
three residents (Resident 20, 85, and 132). In addition, the facility failed to properly clean and disinfect a
Purewick device (an external urinary catheter) according to the manufacturer's guidelines for one resident
(Resident 124). As a result of these deficient practices, the residents were placed at risk for contracting
infections. Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
1. A review of Resident 20's admission record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis
including hypertensive heart disease (a collection of heart problems that develop over time because of
long-term, untreated high blood pressure) and heart failure (the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well
as it should to meet the body's needs).
A review of Resident 85's admission record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis
including hypertensive heart disease.
A review of Resident 132's admission record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis
including hypertension (high blood pressure).
On 12/3/25 at 7:56 A.M., an observation of medication administration was conducted with Licensed Nurse

132's arm in his room. When finished, LN 12 returned to her medication cart parked at the room entrance
and placed the blood pressure cuff in the bottom left drawer of the cart without disinfecting it.
On 12/3/25 at 8:12 A.M. and at 8:33 A.M., an observation of medication administration was conducted with
LN 12. LN 12 continued using the same undisinfected blood pressure cuff on Resident 20 and then
Resident 85. Each time LN 12 used the blood pressure cuff on a resident, she returned it to the bottom left
drawer of the medication cart without disinfecting it.
On 12/3/25 at 9:25 A.M., an interview with LN 11 was conducted. LN 11 stated the blood pressure cuffs
should be disinfected after every use with a disinfecting cloth.
On 12/3/25 at 2:52 P.M., a follow up interview was conducted with LN 12 regarding disinfection of blood
pressure cuff between resident uses. LN 12 stated she should have cleaned the blood pressure cuff with
the disinfecting wipes after each resident use to prevent infections.
On 12/4/25 at 2:25 P.M., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated
that she expected her nursing staff to disinfect blood pressure cuffs after each use. The DON stated it was
important for infection prevention control.
A record review of the facility's policy titled Cleaning and Disinfection of Resident – Care Items and
Equipment revised September 2022, indicated, .5. Reusable items are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized
between residents.
