**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the plan of care (POC) was updated to reflect
changes in condition, for one of two residents reviewed for care planning (Resident 6), who had repeated
episodes of pulling out her G-tube (a surgically implanted tube needed for feeding when unable to swallow)
from October 11, 2025, to November 12, 2025. This failure had the potential to place the residents at risk
for further harm and complications.Findings: A review of Resident 6's medical record was conducted.
Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included, Metabolic encephalopathy
(a brain dysfunction caused by a chemical imbalance or metabolic problem in the body.) The Minimum Data
Set (MDS - an assessment tool), dated October 25, 2025, indicated a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental
Status) score of 99 (severe cognitive impairment status). A review of Resident 6's progress notes from
October 10, 2025, to November 30, 2025, indicated Resident 6 pulled out her G-tube on: -October 10,
2025-October 13, 2025-October 21, 2025-October 29, 2025-November 12, 2025; and-November 13,
2025.Each episodes required transfer to the emergency room for G-tube replacement. A review of Resident
6's care plan dated October 2, 2025, October 10, 2025, October 13, 2025, and November 12, 2025,
indicated: - The resident was identified being at risk for behaviors related to dementia and for G-tube
dislodgement. Interventions included use of an abdominal binder, and monitoring of behaviors. -There were
no care plan revisions after the October 21, 2025, episode and the resident continued to experience G-tube
dislodgements. -The October 13, 2025, interventions were not reflected in the care plan until after the
October 29, 2025, episode. -The care plan-initiated November 12, 2025, listed no new interventions. The
care plan did not reflect changes in condition or effectiveness of interventions for each episode. On
December 31, 2025, at 12:15 p.m. an interview was conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 4).
LVN 4 stated he was assigned to Resident 6 and that he was familiar with her care needs. LVN 4 stated he
was not aware of any behaviors related to Resident 6 pulling out her G-tube. On December 31, 2025, at
12:20 p.m. an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 3). CNA 3 stated she was
assigned to Resident 6. CNA 3 stated she was not aware of any behaviors related to the resident pulling
out her G-tube. On December 31, 2025, at 2:18 p.m. a concurrent interview and record review was
conducted with the Registered Nurse (RN 3). RN 3 stated Resident 6 had repeated G-tube pulling
behaviors beginning October 10, 2025. RN 3 stated a new intervention was not implemented until
November 13, 2025, after multiple episodes. On December 31, 2025, at 3:25 p.m., an interview was
conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated the care plan should be updated each time the resident pulled out the
G-tube and confirmed there were no revisions after October 21, 2025. On December 31, 2025, at 4:27 p.m.
a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
stated the protocols for changes in condition would include an evaluation of the incidents during the
interdisciplinary team conferences (IDT) and revisions to the care plans would be made at that time.

complete in accordance with the accepted professional standards and practices, for two of three sampled
residents (Residents 3 and 5) when: 1. For Resident 3, nursing weekly summaries and skin evaluations did
not reflect changes in skin condition; and 2. For Resident 5, progress notes regarding the resident's status

does not specify the location, which is why detailed notes under the skin assessment are important. RN 1
stated no notes were documented from December 18 to December 22, 2205, and documentation should
have been present. RN 1 stated licensed nurses were expected to chart the skin condition to show that it
was being monitored, according to the physician orders and so that any changes in size, location, or signs
of infection could be noted and the physician notified. On December 30, 2025, at 4:14 p.m. a concurrent
interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated that skin
changes should have been documented in progress notes, MAR, TAR, daily charting, and weekly
summaries. The DON stated that documentation should have reflected the resident's skin condition and any
changes. The DON stated that licensed nurse's documentation did not consistently or accurately reflect the
Resident 3's skin condition. The DON stated the weekly summary was a recap of the condition of the
resident and it should have reflected any changes occurring during the review period and the daily skilled
charting should have reflected the conditions of the skin to show improvement or decline and the current
condition. The DON stated her expectation was that the nurses should have charted accurate assessments
in daily and weekly charting and incomplete documentation would not be reflecting accurately the resident's
condition. The DON further stated that skin conditions should have been documented accurately so that the
ongoing assessments for the resident's skin conditions could have been communicated with the physician,
family, and nursing staff. 2. A review of Resident 5's medical record was conducted. Resident 5 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis which included, Multiple fractures of ribs, left side,
subsequent encounter for routine healing and discharged on December 14, 2025. Resident 5's History and
Physical Examination, dated December 14, 2025, indicated Resident 5 had the capacity to understand and

forcibly torn away from the body) to the left finger, abrasions (a scrape on the skin) to the left ankle and
elbow, and a scab to the left knee. Further review of Resident 5's progress notes from December 13, 2025,

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control practices were
implemented, when an outside vendor ultrasound technician (UT) was observed providing care at the
bedside to a resident on contact precautions (infection prevention precautions) without wearing appropriate
PPE (personal protective Equipment - a gown and mask) according to the facility protocol. This failure had
the potential to result in transmission of infectious illnesses to the vulnerable residents.Findings: On
December 31, 2025, at 12:09 p.m., a sign posted outside the room indicated Contact Precautions, requiring
staff and visitors to wear a gown, gloves, and mask prior to entering the room and to perform hand hygiene
upon entry and exit. An outside vendor UT was observed at the bedside of Resident 6's room. The UT was
using an ultrasound machine with the probe touching the resident's arm. The UT was wearing gloves and
was not observed to be wearing a gown or mask. The outside vendor UT remained in the room for
approximately five minutes. The outside vendor UT re-entered the room without performing hand hygiene or
donning new gloves. On December 31, 2025, a review of Resident 6's records were conducted. Resident 6
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis including metabolic encephalopathy (a chemical
imbalance of metabolic system which affects the brain). The Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment
tool), dated October 25, 2025, indicated a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of one (severely
