observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to label medications and properly dispose of a
medication beyond the use by date for two of 14 sampled residents (Resident 36 and Resident 5), when

the full potency and safety of the drug):
1.
Resident 36's one bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.005 % ( Latanoprost ) was not labeled with
an open date. Another bottle Resident 36's Latanoprost was stored beyond the use by date in the
medication cart (Latanoprost is an eyedrop used to treat a condition in which increased pressure in the eye
can lead to gradual loss of vision).
2.
A bottle of Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic solution 1% was not properly labeled (Atropine Sulfate Ophthalmic
solution is an eyedrop used to treat certain eye conditions).
Findings:
1. Resident 36 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including changes in retinal vascular appearance to

During an interview on 11/20/24 at 1015 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated,
the Latanoprost eyedrops with an open date of 9/10/24 should have been disposed after 28 days from the
opening date and the other bottle of Latanoprost eyedrops with no open date should have been labeled
with an open date to know when the eyedrop's use by date was. Stated the risk of giving the eyedrops past
their use by date was that it would not be effective in treating the illness because they

when the lid (cover) of Resident 144's suction machine cannister was not changed for 18 days (Suction
machine is a device that is used for removing secretions like mucus, phlegm, saliva from a person's airway;
the suction machine cannister is where the secretions are collected).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure placed the resident at increased risk of healthcare associated infections.

During a review of Resident 144's admission record indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included esophageal obstruction (a blockage or narrowing of the esophagus, the muscular
tube that connects the mouth to your stomach).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/18/24, at 2:22 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2, in Resident 144's room, the resident's suction machine cannister was observed to be filled with

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Provide at least one room set aside to use as a resident dining room and for activities, that is a good size,
with good lighting, air flow and furniture.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a dining/activity room with adequate space
for 42 residents.
Residents Affected - Some

mealtime and activity time.
Findings:
The facility census on 11/18/24 was 42 residents.
On 11/21/24 at 12:04 p.m., observation of dining/activity room was conducted. The room which served as
the residents' dining room and activity room had three square tables and accommodated five residents in
wheelchairs and two ambulatory residents who used a walker as an assistive device. The dining room was
observed to be crowded for the seven residents. The dining room staff were observed to push the tables to
the side to be able to push and position some of the residents in wheelchairs in the dining tables.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 8:17 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 , CNA 2 stated the
dining room was crowded at mealtimes and stated some of the ambulatory residents could slip and fall due
to the tight space in the dining room.
During an interview on 11/21/24 12:16 p.m., with Resident 16, stated the dining room was small and
sometimes she had to dine in her room because the dining room space was limited.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 8:30 a.m., with Resident 17, stated the dining room was congested at
mealtimes. Also stated it was difficult for the staff to position the residents in wheelchairs in the dining
tables because of the small space of the dining area.
