observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to promote the
dignity and respect for one of 30 final sampled resident (Resident 103) and one nonsampled resident
(Resident 116).
* The facility failed to ensure the CNA was seated at eye-level while assisting Resident 103 with his meal.
* The facility failed to ensure the LVN was seated at eye-level while assisting Resident 116 with his meal.
These failures posed the risk of not treating the residents with dignity and respect.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
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 ensure one of two final
sampled residents (Resident 76) who was readmitted to the facility had a Level 1 PASARR screening. This
failure had the potential of not providing the residents screened for mental illness or intellectual disabilities
with additional resources if needed.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled PASARR revised 3/2019 showed all individuals are screened for mental
disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission
Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process.
a. The facility verifies with the acute care hospital if a Level I PASARR screen for potential admissions and
readmissions, regardless soft payer source, to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, ID or
RD.
b. Before a resident can be transferred from an acute care hospital, they must undergo a PASARR Level I
screening. This initial screening is designated to identify individuals who may have mental illness (MI),
intellectual disability (ID), or related conditions. The goal is to determine whether they require further
evaluation (Level II) to assess the need for specialized services.
c. If the Level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD, he or she is
referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening
process.
Medical record review for Resident 76 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 76 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted back to the facility on 9/10/24.
Review of the resident's H&P examination dated 9/11/24, showed the resident had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Further review of Resident 76's Order Summary Report dated 11/4/24, showed the following physician
orders:
- an order dated 9/11/24, to administer Risperdal (mood medication) 0.25 mg via GT every 12 hours for
schizophrenia (mental disorder that impairs the way reality is perceived) manifested by seeing people that
not there.
- an order dated 9/10/24, to administer trazodone (depression medication) 50 mg one tablet via GT at
bedtime for depression manifested by inability to maintain sleep.
- an order dated 10/10/24, to administer escitalopram oxalate (depression medication) 5 mg two tablets via
GT once day a day for depression manifested by tearfulness.
Review of Resident 76's medical record showed no documented evidence a PASARR Level I screening
was completed upon the resident's admission back to the facility on 9/10/24.

On 11/7/24 at 1032 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 76 was
conducted with SSA 1. SSA 1 stated the social service department reviewed if the residents had a
PASARR upon admission from the acute care hospital and stated PASARRs would be completed for new
admission, transition to hospice, or for a change of condition. SSA 1 further stated the last PASARR

resident was admitted back to the facility. SSA 1 stated a PASARR Level I screening should have been
completed and she would complete the Level I screening today.
On 11/7/24 at 1040 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 76 was
conducted with SSA 2. SSA 2 stated PASARRs identified any mental illnesses and disabilities. Level I
screening evaluated the residents on psychiatric medications and determined if the residents needed a
Level II screening. SSA 2 further stated a positive Level II screening determined if additional resources
could be offered for the residents determined to have mental illness or disability. SSA 2 also verified
Resident 76 did not have a current PASARR Level I screening after the resident's admission date of
9/10/24, and stated one should have been done.
On 11/7/24 at 1400 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator, DON, and Regional Quality

record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 43's physician's order dated 9/26/24, showed to administer continuous oxygen via
nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute for fluid overload.
Review of Resident 43's care plan titled Respiratory initiated 9/27/24, showed to administer oxygen at a
rate of 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula.
On 11/4/24 at 1006 hours, an observation, interview, and concurrent medical record review was conducted
with LVN 8. LVN 8 verified Resident 43's continuous oxygen was being administered at a rate of 1.5 liters
per minute, via nasal cannula. LVN 8 verified Resident 43's Respiratory care plan showed to administer
oxygen via nasal cannula at a rate of 2 liters per minute, for fluid overload.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
the comprehensive person-centered care plans were developed and implemented for five of 30 final
sampled residents (Residents 34, 43, 63, 76, and 743) as evidence by the following:
* The facility failed to develop and implement an EBP care plan for Resident 34.
* The facility failed to develop and implement an oxygen care plan for Resident 63.
* The facility failed to develop and implement a LAL mattress for Resident 76.
* The facility failed to develop and implement an EBP care plan for Resident 743.
* Resident 43's care plan for the use of oxygen showed to administer continuous oxygen at a rate of 2 liters
per minute, however, the nursing staff failed to implement the care plan, as evidenced by having
administered continuous oxygen therapy to Resident 43 at a rate of 1.5 liters per minute.
These failures had the potential of not providing residents with person-centered plan of care.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 3/2022 showed a
comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the
resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident.
The comprehensive, person-centered care plan describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or
maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The P&P further
showed the comprehensive, person-centered care plan reflects currently recognized standards of practice
for problem areas and conditions. Assessments of residents are ongoing and care plan are revised as
information about the residents and the residents' conditions change.

(Resident 60) who needed a communication board (pre-printed board that has pictures, numbers, and user
defined images that allows a resident to point or indicate on the board what he/she wants communicated)
to communicate the needs was provided with the communication board in the resident's language to
communicate care needs to the facility staff. This failure had the potential to result in a delay of care
services and needs for Resident 60.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Communication Barriers and Communication Boards undated showed the
facility will make arrangement for interpreters and/or alternate means of communication such as
communication boards with pictures, common basic words, sign language, Braille, etc., to enhance
communication between the resident and staff.
Medical record review for Resident 60 was initiated on 11/5/24. Resident 60 was admitted to the facility on

provided the necessary care and services as evidence by the following:
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 76's LAL mattress setting was not appropriate to the resident's
weight.
* The facility failed to ensure the use of LAL mattress with specific direction for settings for Residents 43
and 62.
These failures had the potential for the residents not to receive the appropriate care and services to
promote skin healing.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Beds, Special - Low Air Loss Therapy, undated, showed it is the policy of
this facility to utilize low air loss therapy under the direction of a physician's order. Facility staff working
directly with the low air loss therapy unit will have training in its use by a company representative or a

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to ensure the disposed narcotic count sheets were signed by two licensed nurses. This failure had the
potential for medication diversion (the illegal use or distribution of a prescription medication that was not
originally intended by the prescriber).
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Discarding and Destroying Controlled/ Non-Controlled Medications
revised 5/2024 showed the following:
-Medications that cannot be returned to the dispensing pharmacy (such as non-unit dose medications,
medications refused by the resident, and/or medications left by residents upon discharge) are disposed of
in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations governing management of non-hazardous
pharmaceuticals, hazardous waste and controlled substances; and
-Unless otherwise prohibited under applicable federal or state laws, individual resident medications
supposed in sealed unopened containers may be returned to the issuing pharmacy for disposition provided
that all such medications are identified as to lot of control number, and the receiving pharmacist and a
registered nurse employed by the facility sign a separate log that lists the resident's name, the name,
strength, prescription number if applicable, and the amount of the medication returned, and the date the
medication was returned.
On 11/6/24 at 1530 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with RN 1.
When asked about discarding the controlled medications, RN 1 stated the RN would write down the
resident's name, controlled medication, and quantity to be discarded; and sign the log with another licensed
nurse, then discard the controlled medications into the black narcotic box, to which RN 1 showed a copy of
the Controlled Drugs Log.
Review of the Controlled Drugs Log showed 30 pieces of tramadol (opioid analgesic), nine pieces of
tramadol, and 30 pieces of chlordiazepoxide (antianxiety) medications were placed inside the narcotic box
on 11/5/24, but was only signed by one licensed nurse.
RN 1 verified the above findings.
On 11/6/24 at 1542 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
DON. The DON verified the Controlled Drugs Log only showed one licensed nurse signed the log when
discarding the tramadol and chlordiazepoxide medications into the narcotic box. The DON stated the
Controlled Drugs Log should be signed by an RN and another licensed nurse. The DON stated the
pharmacy consultant and RN would collect the controlled medications from the narcotic box for destruction.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**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 two of 30
final sampled residents (Residents 29 and 38) were free from the unnecessary drugs.
* Resident 29 received amitriptyline (antidepressant medication) and bupropion hydrochloride
(antidepressant and smoking cessation); however, the facility failed to identify what target behaviors to
monitor and did not monitor the episodes of behaviors for two antidepressant medications.
* The facility failed to document specific behaviors prior to prescribing Zoloft (antidepressant) and
implement non-pharmacological interventions for Resident 38.
These failures had the potential for Residents 29 and 38 to have adverse complications from the
medication.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic/Antidepressant Medication Use dated 2021 showed under
the section Psychotropic Medication Management, Psychotropic medication management for the resident

On 11/6/24 at 1520 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON was asked about the reason that the resident received the amitriptyline and bupropion
hydrochloride. The DON stated the amitriptyline for antidepressant and bupropion was used for
antidepressant off label for smoking cessation. The DON was asked to provide the documentation of the
behavior monitoring for the use of the amitriptyline and bupropion hydrochloride medications. The DON
stated they did not monitor the episodes of the target behaviors for the two antidepressant medications
were the same. The DON acknowledged it was difficult to monitor the same behavior to identify the
effectiveness of both medications. The DON verified the findings.
On 11/7/24 at 0930 hours, an interview was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated for the last three days,
Resident 29 had never verbalized any sadness to her.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the food safety and
sanitation guidelines were followed when:
Residents Affected - Some
* The facility failed to ensure the expired food items in the kitchen were discarded. A bin containing thawed
packages of mechanically separated turkey had a use-by date of 11/3/24, and a bin containing thawed
chicken had a use-by date of 11/3/24, were seen in the kitchen refrigerator.
* The facility failed to ensure the kitchen utensils were clean, free of food particles, and not worn out.
These failures posed the risk for food borne illnesses in highly susceptible resident population of 132 facility
residents who received food prepared in the kitchen.
Findings:
Review of the facility's document showed 132 of 141 residents received food prepared in the kitchen.
1. On 11/4/24 at 0757 hours, two bins containing thawed poultry were observed on the bottom shelf of the
walk-in refrigerator. One bin contained packages of mechanically separated turkey was labeled with a thaw
date of 11/2/24, and a use-by date of 11/3/24. The other bin contained raw chicken and was labeled with a
thaw date of 11/1/24, and a use by date of 11/3/24. There was a metal sheet pan containing raw chicken
stored on top of the bin containing the raw chicken. The metal sheet pan was covered with foil and labeled
with the date of 11/3/24.
On 11/4/24 at 0804 hours, the FSD verified the above findings. The FSD stated she needed to throw out
the chicken and the turkey was supposed to be used the day prior, but they did not use it and would need to
throw it out.
2. According to the USDA Food Code 2022, Section 4-101.11, Multiuse, Characteristics, for materials that
are used in the construction of utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment may not allow the migration

Have a policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the P&P regarding
outside food for residents was followed.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure the facility staff responsible for handling food brought for the residents from the
outside and family/visitors who brought food for residents from the outside were educated on safe food
handling procedures. This failure posed the risk for food borne illness in residents who consume food from
outside sources.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Foods Brought by Family/Visitors revised 3/2022 showed the following:
- Family/visitors are asked to prepare and transport food using safe food handling practices, including safe
cooling and reheating processes, holding temperatures, preventing cross-contamination with raw and
undercooked foods, and hand hygiene.
- Safe food handling practices are explained to family/visitors in a language and format they understand.
On 11/6/24 at 1411 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 was asked what her role was
when the residents had food brought in from the outside. CNA 2 stated she would check with the nurse, and
if they wanted to store it, she would date it and would let them know that they could only keep it for three
days. CNA 2 stated if the food was hot, she would let it cool down before she put it in the refrigerator. CNA
2 stated to cool down the food, she would leave it if it was covered in a bag or loosen the container a little
bit before she put it in the refrigerator, then would check on it before the end of her shift. CNA 2 further
stated if the food was still warm, she would let the following CNA know about the food.
On 11/6/24 at 1436 hours, an interview was conducted with the FSD. The FSD stated she provided
in-services to the kitchen staff regarding safe food handling and the DSD would give in-services to the floor
staff regarding safe food handling.
On 11/6/24 at 1507 hours, 1614 hours, and 1619 hours, an interview was conducted with the DSD. The
DSD stated he provided education to the staff regarding providing residents food during mealtimes. The
DSD verified he did not give education to the staff or family/visitors regarding safe food handling when the
residents have food brought in from the outside.
On 11/6/24 at 1624 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with the FSD. The FSD verified the RD did
not provide any education to the facility staff or residents' family/visitors for safe food handling practices.
On 11/7/24 at 1001 hours, the DON was informed of the above findings. The DON stated they encouraged
the residents' family/visitors to bring food in from the outside as long as they were compliant with the
therapeutic diets. The DON verified they did not provide the residents' visitors/family safe food handing
education.

for an indwelling urinary catheter for wound management.
On 11/7/24 at 1430 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON acknowledged the above
findings.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,
the facility failed to ensure the infection control was maintained as evidenced by:
* The facility failed to ensure Residents 34 and 743 with indwelling urinary catheters and midline IV
(intravenous) catheter were placed on EBP as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to conduct surveillance of infections for the residents who showed signs and symptoms
of infection but were not on antimicrobials.
* The facility failed to identity organisms on the surveillance line listing.
* Resident 38's indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was on the floor and a urinal with scant amount of
yellow urine was observed hanging from the trash can adjacent to Resident 38's bed.
These failures put the residents a risk for increased risk of infection and transmissions of diseases.

Enhanced barrier precautions are indicated for residents with any of the following:
- wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized
with a MDRO (Multidrug-resistant organisms - organisms that are resistant to multiple antibiotics or
antifungals).
The P&P further showed to wear gowns and gloves while performing the following high-contact tasks
associated with the greatest risk for MDRO contamination of staff hands, clothes, and the environment such
as:
- device care, for example, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy, vascular catheter.
- any care activity where close contact with he resident is expected to occur such as bathing, peri-care,
assisting with toileting, changing incontinence briefs, respiratory care.
- changing bed lines.
Review of the facility P&P titled Surveillance for Infections revised 5/2024, showed the IP will conduct
ongoing surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other epidemiologically significant
infections that have substantial impact on potential resident outcome and that may require
transmission-based precautions and other preventative interventions. The purpose of the surveillance of
infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of epidemiologically significant organisms and
HAIs, to guide appropriate interventions, and to prevent future infections. Infections that may be considered
in surveillance include those with limited transmissibility in a healthcare environment; and/or limited
prevention strategies. Infections that will be included in routine surveillance include those with pathogens
associated with serious outbreaks. The P&P further showed nursing staff will monitor residents for sighs
and symptoms that my suggest infection, according to current criteria and definitions of infections, and will
document and report suspected infections to the charge nurse as soon as possible. Moreover, the P&P
showed the IP or designated infection control personnel is responsible for gathering and interpreting
surveillance the data.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 6. Medical
record review for Resident 38 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 38's H&P examination undated showed Resident 83 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 38's immunization record showed the pneumococcal vaccine PCV13 was administered
on 1/13/21.
Further review of Resident 38's medical record failed to show evidence Resident 38's responsible party was
offered the PPSV 23 vaccine after receiving the PCV 13 as per the CDC's guidelines.
On 11/7/24 at 0800 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the IP.
The IP acknowledged and verified the above findings.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure six of six final
sampled residents (Residents 38, 60, 76, 443, 596, and 743) reviewed for pneumococcal vaccinations were
educated and offered the pneumococcal vaccination as evidenced by:
* The facility failed to offer the educational materials of the risks and benefits for the pneumococcal
vaccines to Residents 60, 76, 443, 596, and 743 as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to offer Resident 38's responsible party the PPSV 23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide
vaccine) vaccine.
These failures put the residents at risk for infection and transmission of pneumococcal infections.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Pneumococcal Vaccine revised on 3/2024 showed all residents are
offered pneumococcal vaccines to aid in preventing pneumonia/pneumococcal infections. Prior to or upon
admission, residents are assessed for eligibility to receive the pneumococcal vaccine series, and when

the P&P showed before receiving a pneumococcal vaccine, the resident or legal representative receives
information and education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of the pneumococcal vaccine.
The provision of such education is documented in the resident's medical record.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 6. Medical
record review for Resident 38 was initiated on 11/4/24. Resident 38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 38's H&P examination undated showed Resident 38 had the capacity to understand
and make decisions.
Review of Resident 38's immunization record showed the previous COVID-19 vaccine was administered on
6/21/22.
Further review of Resident 38's medical record failed to show evidence Resident 38's responsible party was
offered the seasonal COVID-19 vaccine.
On 11/7/24 at 0800 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the IP.
The IP acknowledged and verified the above findings.
Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure six of six final
sampled residents (Residents 38, 60, 76, 443, 596, and 743) reviewed for COVID-19 vaccinations were
educated and offered the COVID-19 vaccination as evidenced by:
* The facility failed to offer the educational materials of the risks and benefits for the COVID-19 vaccines to
Residents 60, 76, 443, 596, and 743 as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to offer Resident 38's responsible party the seasonal COVID-19 vaccine.
These failures put the residents at risk for increased risk of infection and transmission of COVID-19.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) - Vaccination of Residents revised on
11/2024 showed each resident is offered the COVID-19 vaccine unless the immunization is medically
contraindicated or the resident is fully vaccinated. Residents who are eligible to receive the COVID-19
vaccine are strongly encouraged to do so. COVID-19 vaccine education, documentation and reporting are
overseen by the infection preventionist and coordinated by his or her designee. The P&P further showed
before the COVID-19 vaccine is offered, the resident is provided with education regarding the benefits, risk,
and potential side effects associated with the vaccine. The information is provided to the resident in a
format and language that is understood by the resident or representative. Moreover, the P&P further
