interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of one final
sampled resident (Resident 17) reviewed for physical restraint was informed of the use of the restraint. *
The facility failed to ensure the informed consent was obtained prior to the use of the bed and chair alarms
for Resident 17. This failure had the potential for Resident 17 not to be informed of the potential risks and
benefits of the restraints.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Use of Restraints revised 1/2025
showed under the Policy Interpretation and Implementation section, restraints shall only be used upon the
written order of a physician and after obtaining consent from the resident and/or representative. The order
shall include the following: the specific reason for the restraint (as it relates to the resident's medical
symptom), how the restraint will be used to benefit the resident's medical symptom, and the type of
restraint, and period of time for the use of the restraint. Residents and/or surrogate/sponsor shall be
informed about the potential risks and benefits of all options under consideration, including the use of
restraints, not using restraints, and the alternatives to restraint use. On 1/5/26 at 1119 hours, during the
initial tour of the facility, Resident 17 was observed in the activity room, up on his wheelchair and working
with the activity staff. There was a chair alarm machine at the back of Resident 17's wheelchair and
attached to the resident. The activity staff stated Resident 17 had episodes of getting up from the
wheelchair unassisted. Medical record review for Resident 17 was initiated on 1/16/26. Resident 17 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 17's H&P examination dated 9/24/25, showed
Resident 17 could make needs known but had no capacity to make medical decisions. Review of Resident
17's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 17 was dependent with mobility. Review of Resident
17's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 12/29/25, for the use of the bed pressure
pad alarm and wheelchair alarm to alert the staff of the resident's attempts to rise unassisted. However,
further review of Resident 17's medical record failed to show an informed consent with the risks and
benefits of the use of the bed and wheelchair alarm was provided to the resident or responsible party. On
1/7/26 at 0815 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 17. Resident
17 was awake and sitting in the wheelchair with the red chair alarm attached to the resident. Resident 17
just smiled when asked with questions but did not respond. On 1/7/26 at 1016 hours, an observation of
Resident 17 and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 was observed with Resident 17.
Resident 17 was observed awake and sitting in the wheelchair with the chair alarm attached to the resident.
CNA 2 stated Resident 17 could express simple needs in English language like water or help. CNA 2 stated
Resident 17 used the bed and chair alarm because the resident would try to get out of the bed or
wheelchair and the resident was unsteady and high risk for fall. On 1/7/26 at 1049 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated prior to the use of the physical
restraints, after obtaining the order from the physician, an informed

Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
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 one of 28
final sampled residents (Resident 130) was assessed to self-administer medications. * Resident 130 had
medications on the resident's bedside table. Resident 130 was not assessed to self-administer the
medications. This failure had the potential to negatively impact on the resident physiological well-being and
could administer the medication inaccurately.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Self-Administration
of Medications revised February 2021 showed the residents have the right to self-administer medications if
the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the resident to do so.
The IDT assesses each resident's cognitive and physical abilities to determine whether self-administering
medications is safe and clinically appropriate for the resident. The policy also showed that any medications
found at the bedside that are not authorized for self-administration are turned over to the nurse in charge
for return to the family or responsible party. On 1/5/26 at 0927 hours, Resident 130 was observed with an
Albuterol Sulfate inhaler (bronchodilator medication) on top of the bedside table. There was a bag
containing multiple medication boxes and container inside the bag with the resident's name on it. Resident
130 stated it was his medication and took it by himself. Resident 130 stated the medications in the bag
were his medications and his daughter brought them from home. Medical record review for Resident 130
was initiated on 1/5/26. Resident 130 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 130's H&P
examination dated 12/11/25, showed Resident 130 had the capacity to make medical decisions. Further
review of Resident 130's medical record failed to show documented evidence a physician's order was
obtained for the resident to self-administer the Albuterol Sulfate inhaler and store it at the resident's
bedside. In addition, there was no care plan initiated or developed to address the resident's
self-administration of the Albuterol Sulfate inhaler medication. On 1/5/25 at 0937 hours, an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 verified Resident 130 had the Albuterol Sulfate
inhaler at the bedside. LVN 5 stated Resident 130 could not have the medication at bedside. On 1/7/26 at
0939 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 was
informed and verified Resident 130 did not have a physician's order for self-administration of the Albuterol
Sulfate inhaler and did not have a care plan problem addressing the resident's self-administration of
Albuterol Sulfate inhaler medication. On 1/12/26 at 1351 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON.
The DON was informed and verified the above findings.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to provide reasonable accommodations to meet the needs for two of 28 final sampled residents
(Residents 87 and 99). * The facility failed to ensure Resident 87 and 99's call light were within the
residents' reach. This failure posed a risk in a delay in providing care to the residents and the potential to
negatively impact on the residents' well-being.Findings: Review of the facility's P &P titled Answering the
Call Light reviewed on 1/2025 showed under the general guidelines section, when the resident is in bed or
confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident. 1. On 1/5/26 at 0834 hours, an
observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 87. Resident 87 was observed lying in
bed. Resident 87's call light was hanging on the left side of the bed far from the resident. Resident 87
attempted to reach for the call light. Resident 87 stated she was unable to see the call light and unable to
reach the call light. On 1/5/26 at 0841 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with
LVN 1. Resident 87 was lying in bed and the call light was not within reach. LVN 1 verified the call light was
not within Resident 87's reach. LVN 1 further stated the call light should be within the reach of the resident
to ensure the resident's safety and allowed the resident to communicate with the facility staff when she
needed assistance. Medical record review for Resident 87 was initiated on 1/7/26. Resident 87 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 87's H&P examination dated 4/24/25, showed the
resident had no capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 87's care plan for risk for
fall revised 8/12/25, showed interventions included to keep the call light within reach. Review of Resident
87's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 87 had a BIMS score of 2, which meant the resident
had severe cognitive impairment. 2. On 1/5/26 at 1110 hours, an observation was conducted inside
Resident 99's room. Resident 99 was lying in bed with the call light on the floor, behind the head of the bed.
On 1/5/26 at 1118 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with the DON inside
Resident 99's room. The DON verified Resident 99's call light was on the floor, behind the head of the bed
and not within the resident's reach. Medical record review for Resident 99 was initiated on 1/7/26. Resident
99 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 99's H&P
examination dated 2/11/25, showed the resident had no capacity to understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 99's care plan for impaired vision as evidenced by legal blindness revised 11/16/24,
showed interventions included to keep the call light within reach. On 1/13/26 at 1425 hours, an interview
was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings. The DON further
stated the call light needed to be within the resident's reach and accessible for the residents at all times, so
the residents could call for assistance from the facility staff.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**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 provide information regarding
the rights to formulate the advance directives to three of five final sampled residents (Residents 13, 83, and
130) reviewed for the advance directives. * The facility failed to ensure the advanced directive copy of
Resident 13 was available in the resident's medical records. * The facility failed to ensure the formulation of
the advance directive for Resident 83 was followed up. * The facility failed to ensure the advance directive
copy for Resident 130 was available in the medical records. These failures had the potential for the
residents' wishes related to the provision of medical treatment and services to not be followed if the
residents were unable to make medical decisions for themselves.Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance Directives revised September 2022 showed prior to or upon
admission of a resident, the social services director or designee inquires of the resident, his/her family
members and/ or his or her legal representative, about the existence of any written directives. The resident
or representative is provided a written information concerning the right to refuse or accept medical or
surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses to do so. If the resident or the
resident's representative has executed one or more advance directive(s), or executes one upon admission,
copies of these documents are obtained and maintained in the same section of the resident's medical
record and are readily retrievable by any facility staff. If the resident is incapacitated and unable to receive
information about his or her right to formulate an advance directive, the information may be provided to the
resident's legal representative. The interdisciplinary team conducts ongoing review of the residents
decision-making capacity. Changes are documented in the care plan and medical record.
1. Medical record review for Resident 83 was initiated on 1/6/26. Resident 83 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 83's IDT Conference Summary dated 12/11/25, showed under the progress note
section, Resident 83 stated he has an advanced directive in place, but would like to redo his advance
directive, blank copy will be provided to resident to fill out. The SSA was made him aware.
Review of Resident 83's Social History Review dated 12/10/25, showed under other notes, no AHCD
(Advance Health Care Directive) completed. The SSA offered to complete AHCD, but the resident had
declined. Per the resident, I don't like to talk about those things.
Further review of Resident 83's medical record failed to show documented evidence a copy of the advance
directive was placed.
On 1/7/26 at 1013 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 83 was
conducted with SSA 1. SSA 1 stated the resident was provided with a blank copy of the advance directive.
SSA 1 verified there was no copy of advance directive in the resident's medical record. SSA 1 verified she
followed up but did not document the resident's advance directive was completed.
2. Medical record review for Resident 130 was initiated on 1/6/26. Resident 130 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].

interventions before physical restraints were utilized, and develop and implement interventions to prevent
and address any risks related to the use of the restraints for Resident 17. These failures had the potential
for increased risk of physical harm and negative potential outcome to the resident. Findings: Review of the
facility's P&P titled Use of Restraints revised and reviewed 1/2025 showed:- Restraints shall only be used
for the safety and well-being of the resident(s) and only after other alternatives have been tried
unsuccessfully;- Restraints shall only be used to treat the resident's medical symptom(s) and never for
discipline or staff convenience, or for the prevention of falls; and- When the use of restraints is indicated, the
least restrictive alternative will be used for the least amount of time necessary, and the ongoing
re-evaluation for the need for restraints will be documented. The Policy Interpretation and Implementation
section showed: - Physical Restraints are defined as any manual method or physical or mechanical device,
material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily,
which restricts freedom of movement or restricts normal access to one's body;- The definition of a restraint
is based on the functional status of the resident and not the device. If the resident cannot remove a device
in the same manner in which the staff applied it given that resident's physical condition, and this restricts
his/her typical ability to change position or place, that device is considered a restraint; and- Prior to placing
a resident in restraints, there shall be a pre-restraining assessment and review to determine the need for
restraints. The assessment shall be used to determine possible underlying causes of the problematic
medical symptom and to determine if there are less restrictive interventions (programs, devices, referrals,
etc.) that may improve the symptoms. On 1/5/26 at 1119 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident
17 was observed in the activity room, up on his wheelchair and working with the Activity Staff. There was a
chair alarm at the back of Resident 17's wheelchair and attached to the resident. The Activity Staff stated
Resident 17 had episodes of getting up from the wheelchair unassisted. Medical record review for Resident
17 was initiated on 1/16/26. Resident 17 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 17's
care plan for risk for fall dated 9/23/25, showed interventions included the use of the bed pressure pad
alarm and wheelchair alarm to alert the staff of the resident's attempts to rise unassisted. Review of
Resident 17's H&P examination dated 9/24/25, showed Resident 17 could make needs known but had no
capacity to make medical decisions. Review of Resident 17's Nursing - Safety Device
Observation/assessment dated [DATE], showed resident's weakness and balance deficit contributed to the
resident's need to use safety device. The recommended type of safety device was bed sensor pad. Review
of Resident 17's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 17 was dependent with mobility. Review
of Resident 17's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 12/29/25, for the use of bed
pressure pad alarm and wheelchair alarm to alert staff of the resident's attempts to rise unassisted. Further
review of Resident 17's medical record failed to show an assessment for the use of the wheelchair alarm
was completed prior to use, least restrictive interventions were implemented before physical restraints were
utilized, and interventions to prevent and address any risks related to the use of the restraints were
developed and implemented. On 1/7/26 at 0815 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was
conducted with Resident 17. Resident 17 was awake and sitting in the wheelchair with the red

chair alarm attached to the resident. Resident 17 just smiled when asked with questions but did not
respond. On 1/7/26 at 1016 hours, an observation and concurrent interview for Resident 17 was conducted
with CNA 2. CNA 2 was with Resident 17 in the room. Resident 17 was awake and sitting in the wheelchair
with the chair alarm attached to the resident. CNA 2 stated Resident 17 could express simple needs in
English language like water or help. CNA 2 stated Resident 17 used the bed and chair alarm because the
resident would try to get out of the bed or wheelchair and the resident was unsteady and high risk for fall.
On 1/7/26 at 1029 hours, an interview was conducted for Resident 17 with LVN 7. LVN 7 verified they used
the bed and wheelchair alarm for Resident 17 to prevent the resident from fall, and it alerted the staff when
the resident tried to get out of the bed or wheelchair. LVN 7 stated Resident 17 needed maximum
assistance with mobility, but he would try to get out of the bed or wheelchair. On 1/7/26 at 1049 hours, an
interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 17 was conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated
prior to the use of physical restraints, the licensed nurse should conduct an assessment for the device to be
used which included assessing the medical symptoms why the use of device being considered and
cognitive function, the least restrictive interventions should be implemented prior to the use of the restraint
and it should be documented, inform the physician and obtain the consent from the resident or resident's
representative, explained to them the risks and benefits, and monitor the resident every shift. RN 1 stated
the facility used bed pressure pad alarm and chair alarm for those residents who were impulsive, with poor
safety awareness, who tried to get out of bed or chair without calling for assistance and for those who had
multiple history of falls. RN 1 further stated they did not consider the bed or chair alarm as physical
restraint, but it was only a safety device. RN 1 verified an assessment for the use of wheelchair alarm was
not completed prior to use, least restrictive interventions were not implemented before the bed and
wheelchair alarms were utilized, and interventions to prevent and address any risks related to the use of
the restraints were developed and implemented for Resident 17. On 1/7/26 at 1140 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 17 was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed
and acknowledged the findings for Resident 17. Cross reference to F552.

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one final sampled
resident (Resident 83) reviewed for psychotropic medication use was free from the unnecessary
psychotropic drugs. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 83's monthly behavior summary was accurately
monitored and recorded for the use of mirtazapine (antidepressant) medication. This failure had the
potential to place the residents at risk of receiving unnecessary medications and increased risk of serious
medication adverse reactions.Findings: Medical record review for Resident 83 was initiated on 1/6/26.
Resident 83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 83's Order Summary Report dated
1/7/26, showed the following physician's order:- dated 5/30/25, to administer mirtazapine tablet 7.5 mg, one
tablet by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by poor oral intake less than 50%.- dated 9/26/25, to
monitor behavior episodes of depression (for the use of mirtazapine medication)manifested by poor oral
intake less than 50%. Review of Resident 83's Amount Eaten for 30 days, from 12/10/25 to 1/8/26, showed
Resident 83 was consuming less than 50% of his meals for a total of 65 episodes. Review of the Resident
Psychotherapeutic Drug Summary Sheet for December 2025 showed under the behavior data, Resident 83
consumed less than 50% of his meals for a total of 41 episodes. On 1/8/26 at 1355 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 83 was conducted with the ADON. The ADON verified the
meal percentage monitoring for the use of the mirtazapine medication for Resident 83 was not accurate
when compared to the summary of the behavior record. On 1/12/2026 at 1351 hours, an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings.

**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 timely notify and accurately
sent the Notification of Proposed Transfer/Discharge to the Office of the State Long-Term Care (LTC)
Ombudsman (an advocate for residents of nursing homes) when two of three sampled residents (Residents
156 and 158) reviewed for closed records. * The facility failed to ensure notification of proposed transfer
was sent to the Ombudsman timely for Resident 156. * The facility failed to ensure the Notice of Proposed
Transfer was accurately sent to the Ombudsman for Resident 158. These failures had the potential for the
Ombudsman not to be able to advocate for the residents in protecting their rights from inappropriate
transfer and discharge.Findings:
Review of facility's P&P titled Transfer or Discharge Notices revised 3/2025 showed the residents (or
resident representatives) are notified of an impending transfer or discharge and the reasons for the move in
writing and in a language and manner they understand. A copy of the notice is sent to the Office of the

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Base on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the proper food
texture was followed for 12 of 12 residents on an IDDSI Level 6 diet (Soft and Bite-Sized diet, for people
who can chew but need food that's soft, tender, moist, and cut into small pieces (about 1.5cm x 1.5cm for
adults) that mash easily with a fork, requiring chewing before swallowing). * The facility failed to ensure the
meat, vegetables, and bread were properly prepared for the 12 residents on IDDSI Level 6 diet. This failure
posed the risk for the 12 residents with swallowing and/or chewing difficulties on mechanically altered diets
to not receive the diet texture as ordered by the physician.Findings: Review of the professional reference
International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) a level 6 diet, Soft and Bite-Sized diet should
have ‘bite-sized' pieces no larger than 1.5 cm equivalent to half an inch. The food must be soft, tender and
moist throughout but with no separate thin liquid. According to the IDDSI Audit Tool for the Soft and
Bite-Sized diet, the critical tests include Appearance and Fork/Spoon Pressure Test. The appearance test
involves measuring food piece size and making sure the food has no separate liquid. The fork/spoon
pressure test includes pushing down on a 15 mm by 15 mm (.5 inch) sample with a dinner fork or teaspoon,
with enough pressure that the thumb nail turns white, the food can be squashed and will not return to
original shape making sure the food has no separate liquid. https://www.iddsi.org/ Review of the facility's
