Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure baseline care plans
(instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that meet professional
standards of quality care) were developed and implemented within 48 hours of admission for one (1) out of
21 sampled residents (Resident 238) when Resident 238 had been ordered anti-seizure medication without
related seizure monitoring and care plan.
This failure had the potential to place Resident 238 at risk for unmet care needs.
Findings:
A review of Resident 238's admission record indicated Resident 238 was admitted to the facility in
November of 2024, with diagnoses including a fracture of the left femur (a thigh bone) and a fall with
subsequent encounter (aftercare).
A review of Resident 238's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation record used by
a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) for November and December
of 2024 indicated order initiated on 11/19/24 for Divalproex Sodium 250 MG (milligram, unit of mass) two
times a day for seizure prevention, with medication marked as given daily per order with few occasional
exceptions due to refusals. No orders for monitoring seizure symptoms were found in the record.
A review of Resident 238's Care Plan History indicated no care plans specific to seizure monitoring.
A review of Resident 238's Physician's Progress Note, dated 11/19/24, indicated, [Brand medication name]
(Divalproex) 250 mg tablet, delayed release . Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for Seizure Prevention
(Do not crush)
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/24 at 2:59 p.m. with the Licensed Nurse (LN 3,
Unit Manager) Resident 238's orders and care plans were reviewed and LN 3 confirmed that Resident was
on divalproex for seizures, had no seizure monitoring in place and no seizure specific care plan. LN 3
stated that she expected residents on anti-seizure medications to be monitored for seizures and to have a
corresponding care plan.
During an interview on 12/6/24 at 12:06 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated that for
residents on anti-seizure medications, she expected seizure monitoring and a seizure-specific care plan to
be implemented.

Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to provide services according to professional
standards when anticoagulant (medications that prevent or reduce blood clotting) monitoring was not in
place for Resident 63.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to put Resident 63 at risk for having complications related to excessive
bleeding.
Findings:
A review of an admission record indicated Resident 63 was admitted to the facility in February 2023 with
diagnoses including pulmonary embolism (blood clot in an artery in the lung), embolism and thrombosis of
the left leg (a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery in the leg).
During a review of Resident 63's, Medication Administration Record, on 12/4/24 at 10:04 a.m., the record
indicated Resident 63 was receiving apixaban (medication that decreases the clotting ability of the blood)
tablet twice a day. The record did not indicate an order to monitor side effects such as excessive bleeding or
bruising.
During a review of Resident 63's Care Plan, on 12/4/24 at 10:05 a.m., it did not indicate an anticoagulant
monitoring care plan.
During an interview and record review on 12/5/24 at 11:08 a.m., with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1), LN 1
confirmed that there were not any orders or a care plan for anticoagulant monitoring. She stated that not
having the care plan can put the resident at risk for not being monitored for side effects of apixaban and
any signs of bleeding may be missed.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 12:14p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that her
expectations are that all residents on anticoagulants have orders to monitor side effects and an
anticoagulant monitoring care plan, not having them can lead to residents not being monitored for bleeding.
During a review of the facility's policy titled, Anticoagulation - Clinical Protocol, dated 2001, indicated, staff
and physician will monitor for possible complications . and . If an individual on anticoagulation therapy
shows signs of evidence of bleeding, the nurse will discuss the situation with the physician .
During a review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered , revised March

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care services
consistent with professional standards of care and facility policy, for one (1) resident (Resident 240), out of
21 sampled residents, when:
Residents Affected - Few
1.
Resident 240's nasal cannula (NC- nasal cannula, special tubing that delivers gas to the nostrils) was
unlabeled with a date it was changed; and
2.
facility's orders and practices in changing humidifier bottle (a bottle of distilled water inserted into an oxygen
delivery system to add moisture when being administered oxygen) and nasal cannula were not in
agreement with facility's policy.
These failures increased the risk for resident 240 to develop respiratory infections.
Findings:
A review of Resident 240's admission record indicated that Resident 240 was admitted to the facility in
November of 2024 with diagnoses including respiratory failure with hypoxia (problems with breathing and
low oxygen levels).
A review of Resident 240's order summary report (OSR), dated 12/6/24, included the following active
orders:
O2 [oxygen gas] at 2 L/min [liters per minute, rate] via NC as needed for shortness of breath, chest pain,
O2 saturation less than 90% .]. Initiated on 11/23/24.
O2 at 2-3 L/min via NC continuously every shift. Initiated on 12/4/24.
Change Humidifier Bottle &Tubing [NC] When O2 Used - Clean Filters of O2 Concentrators with Warm
Soap Water, Pat Dry & Replace on O2 Concentrator when Changing Humidifier Bottle every night shift
every 5 day(s). Initiated 12/4/24.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/24 at 3:58 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP),
the IP stated NC and humidifier bottle should each be labeled with dates when first used/opened and
changed on a weekly basis. IP entered Resident 240's room and confirmed that Resident 240's NC was not
labeled, and the humidifier bottle was labeled with date 12/3.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 9:21 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN 3, Unit Manager). LN 3 stated the
facility's practice was to change humidifier bottle and NC together and date only the bottle. LN 3 confirmed
Resident 240 had an order to change the bottle and nasal cannula every 5 days.
During concurrent observation and interview on 12/5/24 at 9:40 a.m. with Resident 240 lying in bed with NC
applied and oxygen running at 2L/min. Resident 240 stated that she had been on continuous oxygen
therapy via NC since she was admitted to the facility. There was still no date labeled observed

In an interview on 12/5/24 at 9:46 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN 5), LN 5 stated that she was taking care of
Resident 240, and the resident was on oxygen therapy via NC since admission. LN 5 also stated that she
expected NC tubing and humidifier bottle to be changed every 3 days and they should be labeled with
dates separately.
Residents Affected - Few
During concurrent observation and interview on 12/6/24 at 9:50 a.m. with LN 5 in Resident 240's room. LN
5 confirmed observation that Resident 240's NC tubing was still not labeled with a date and the humidifier
bottle was still labeled 12/3. LN 5 stated the bottle and tubing should be changed every 5 days, and they
each should be labeled with dates.
In an interview on 12/6/24 at 9:59 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON confirmed the
humidifier bottle and NC are expected to each be labeled and the facility's practice of changing bottle and
tubing as one unit was not in agreement with the policy that required bottle changes every 24 hours and
tubing changes every 7 days.
A review of facility policy and procedure titled, Departmental (Respiratory Therapy) - Prevention of Infection,
undated, indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to guide prevention of infection associated with

Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure complete nurse staffing
data was displayed and accessible for residents and visitors, for a census of 82 residents, when actual
hours worked was not displayed.
Residents Affected - Many
This failure had the potential to mislead residents and visitors of the actual hours worked by staff
responsible for providing direct care to residents.
Findings:
During an observation on 12/4/24 at 2:50 p.m. at the North Nursing station, the Daily Staffing form was
displayed. The form included the number of Licensed Nurses (LN) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)
scheduled for each of the facility's shifts. However, the form did not include the actual hours worked by the
LNs and CNAs, who are directly responsible for resident care.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/24 at 3:20 p.m., at the North Nursing station, with
the Medical Records Director (MRD), the MRD confirmed the Daily Staffing form displayed did not include
the total number and actual hours worked per shift for LNs or CNAs. The MRD stated, I never thought I had
to post the actual hours .I've never posted it since I've been [working] here.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/24 at 1:32 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the
daily Staffing form was reviewed. The ADM confirmed the form did not include the actual hours worked per
shift for LNs or CNAs providing direct care.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing
Numbers, revised August 2022, the P&P indicated, .Our facility will post on a daily basis for each shift,
nurse staffing data, including the number of nursing personnel responsible for providing direct care to
residents .Shift staffing information is recorded on a form for each shift. The information recorded on the
form shall include the following .The actual time worked during that shift for each category and type of

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities) care plan for one out of 21 sampled residents (Resident 57),
when there was no dementia care plan for Resident 57.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to delay dementia treatments and services needed for Resident 57.
Findings:
A review of Resident 57's admission record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility in October
2024, with diagnoses that include senile degeneration of the brain (decline in cognitive function) and
dementia.
A review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated
10/18/24, indicated the resident has moderate cognitive impairment and non-Alzheimer's (a disease
characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) dementia.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/5/24 at 1:54 p.m., with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1),
Resident 57's care plans were reviewed. LN 1 confirmed there was not a dementia care plan for Resident
57. LN 1 stated that the care plan is important to assess the resident properly, informs staff how to interact
with the resident, what behaviors to monitor and what are appropriate interventions for the resident.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 3:59 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she
expected that residents with dementia have a dementia care plan, so staff knows how to monitor and
interact with the resident and implement proper interventions.
During a review of the facility's policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised March
2022, indicated, .care plan includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's
psychosocial and functional needs . and, .services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that medications were
stored according to accepted professional principles for a census of 82 residents, when loose pills were
found in a medication cart and medication refrigerators were not maintained.
This deficiency had the potential for residents to have an increased risk of receiving compromised
medications.
Findings
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/24 at 2:07 p.m., with Licensed Nurse 2 (LN 2) of
north hall medication cart A, 8 loose pills were found in the bottom of the medication drawer. LN 3
confirmed the presence of the loose pills and stated that loose pills could be accidently given to residents.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/24 at 2:31p.m. of north station medication room with
LN 1, LN 1 confirmed the medication refrigerator was:
1.
noted to have thick ice buildup which prevented the freezer door to be opened,
2.
puddles of water were seen at the bottom of the fridge and shelving, and
3.
damage was noted on the external areas of the fridge.
LN 1 stated that if the fridge is not working and maintained properly medications could be compromised
and the residents could potentially receive ineffective medications or experience a reaction.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/4/24 at 2:51 p.m., with LN 3 in the south station
medication room. LN 3 confirmed the medication fridge thermometer indicated a temperature of 24
Fahrenheit (F - a unit of measure), and the medication fridge temperature expected range is 36-46 F. LN 3
stated that the medication fridge temperature is out of range which could potentially damage the medication
and cause it to be ineffective.
During an interview on 12/5/24 at 12:14p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated loose pills
shouldn't be in the cart and should be disposed of appropriately. The DON added, nurses are responsible
for monitoring temperatures and general fridge maintenance such as cleaning and defrosting the fridge.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 maintain infection prevention and control
practices to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections
when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. The wound treatment nurse (TN): took a container of medication from a resident's room and put back in
the clean supply cart, failed to sanitize equipment between uses for different residents, and did not label
wound dressings.
2. Housekeeping staff did not perform hand hygiene between cleaning different resident rooms and the
same mop and sanitizing solution was used to clean multiple rooms.
3. Enhanced Barrier Precautions were not applied for residents with wounds and indwelling medical
devices.
These failures had the potential to result in infection spread among a facility census of 82 residents.
Findings:
1. During wound treatment observation on 12/4/24 commencing at 1:55 p.m., the TN was observed
providing wound care to Resident 141 and Resident 242. The TN brought supplies including scissors and
an entire container of powdered nystatin (an antifungal medication) into Resident 141's room. The TN
removed old dressings, that were not labeled with date or initials, from both knees of Resident 141. The TN
used scissors to trim new dressings and applied new dressings to the knee wounds, but the TN did not
label new dressings with a date or initials. The TN applied the nystatin powder to Resident 141's groin area,
and then placed the nystatin container back in the treatment supply cart with other clean supplies. The TN
took the scissors from Resident 141's room and placed them on the top of the treatment supply cart without
disinfecting them. The TN removed four clean packages of dressings and placed them on top of the
treatment supply cart where they touched the potentially contaminated scissors. The TN then took the four
packages of dressings from the top of the treatment supply cart into Resident 242's to do a dressing
change. The TN removed old dressings from Resident 242's right leg, old dressings were not labeled with
date or initials, and then applied new dressings without labeling with date or initials.
In an interview on 12/4/24 at 2:45 p.m., the TN admitted he took the entire nystatin powder container from
Resident 141's room back to the clean cart. The TN acknowledged he was not supposed to bring the entire
