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 one of three sampled residents
(Resident 530) had a call light that was within reach of the resident who was a high fall risk when the call
light was observed on the floor out of reach for the resident.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 530 to feel frustrated when she could not summon help due to
the call light not being within reach, her needs not being met and also delay of care and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 530's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 530 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where the
brain's function is impaired due to an underlying metabolic disturbance), respiratory failure (a serious
medical condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen in the blood), end stage
renal disease ([ESRD], irreversible kidney failure), and anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions
that cause fear, dread and other symptoms that are out of proportion to the situation).
During a review of Resident 530's History and Physical (H/P) dated 2/18/2025, the H/P indicated Resident
530 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 530's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 2/22/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 530 was severely cognitively (ability to make decisions of daily living) impaired
and required moderate assistance (helper does less than half of the effort) with self-care abilities such as
eating and was dependent (helper does all the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe,
upper and lower body dressing and putting on and taking off footwear. The MDS also indicated Resident
530 was dependent for mobility needs such as rolling left and right.
During an observation on 3/3/2025 at 12:17 p.m., with Resident 530 in her room, Resident 530 was lying in
bed on her right side facing the front door with her eyes closed. Resident 530's call light was on the floor
behind the resident.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9 a.m., with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated the call
light needs to be within reach of the residents. The MDSC stated high fall risk residents such as Resident
530 should have a call light within reach. MDSC stated if call lights are not within reach of residents,
residents can fall out of bed trying to reach for the call light or try to get out of bed on their own because the
resident could not use the call light to call staff for help. The MDSC

stated the importance for having a call light within reach of the residents was so residents can call for help
and staff were aware residents need help.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 2:22 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the call
lights provide the residents access to the staff. The DON stated the call light should be within the reach of
the resident so residents can call for help when needed.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Answering the Call Light, revised 10/2010,
indicated when the resident is in bed or confined to a chair, be sure the call light is within easy reach of the

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, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents medical records were up to date as per
the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,Advance Directive, revised 2/2025, regarding Advance
Directives ([AD], a legal document indicating resident preference on end-of-life treatment decisions) for two
of six sampled residents (Resident 530).
This deficient practice violated the residents' rights to be fully inform of the option to formulate an AD and
had the potential to cause conflict with the residents' wishes regarding health care in the event residents
became incapacitated (unable to participate in a meaningful way in medical decisions) or unable to make
medical decisions that would not be identified and/or carried out by the facility staff.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 530's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 530 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where the
brain's function is impaired due to an underlying metabolic disturbance), respiratory failure (a serious
medical condition where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen in the blood), end stage
renal disease ([ESRD], irreversible kidney failure), and anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions
that cause fear, dread and other symptoms that are out of proportion to the situation).
During a review of Resident 530's History and Physical (H/P) dated 2/18/2025, the H/P indicated Resident
530 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 530's Minimum Data Set (MDS a resident assessment tool) dated 2/22/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 530 was severely cognitvely (ability to make decisions of daily living) impaired
and required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with self-care abilities such as
eating and was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe,
upper and lower body dressing and putting on and taking off footwear. The MDS also indicated Resident
530 was dependent on staff for mobility such as rolling left and right.
During a review of Resident 530's AD Acknowledgment form dated 2/18/2025, the AD Acknowledgment
form indicated Resident 530 had not executed an AD and did not want any additional information at this
time. The AD form did not indicate Resident 530 or the residents representative signed the form
acknowledging this information was provided.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/2025 at 12:26 p.m., with the Social Service Director
(SSD), the AD Acknowledgment form for Resident 151 and Resident 530 was reviewed. The SSD stated
the SSD since the family does not have the capacity to make decisions, the SSD spoke to the family and
family did not want to formulate an AD for the residents since the residents did not have capacity to make
decisions. SSD stated the AD Acknowledgement should have been clearer by providing two signatures of
staff that were present when resident and/or family was provided with the information and whether it was a
telephone consent over the phone or in person consent. The SSD stated the importance of an AD was to
make sure staff are respecting the wishes of the residents. The SSD stated the AD was a legal document

B. During a review of Resident 118's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 118 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia
(total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or
paralysis on one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (stroke - loss of blood flow to a part of the
brain)and unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). The admission record
indicated Resident 118 had a Resident representative/responsible party designated to make Resident
188's decisions.
Residents Affected - Some
During a review of Resident 118's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated had severe impairment to
cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make decisions.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/2025 at 12:02 p.m. with the Social Services Director
(SSD), Resident 118's Advance Directive Acknowledgement form, dated 2/17/2024, was reviewed. The
Advance Directive Acknowledgement form indicated Resident 118 had not executed an Advance Directive
and was not capable of making preferred intensity of care decisions at this time. The SSD stated the
Advance Directive Acknowledgement form was signed by a facility staff and the physician, and not by
Resident 118's Responsible Party. The SSD stated since Resident 118 did not have the capacity to make
decisions, the Resident 118's Responsible party should have been given the option to execute or formulate
an advance directive. The SSD stated there was no follow-up with Resident 118's Responsible Party.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 2:23 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated an
advance directive is the resident's right to have their wishes to be carried out if incapacitated. The DON
stated if a resident does not have the capacity to formulate an advance directive, the facility should offered
or discussed with the responsible party during interdisciplinary team meetings.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/6/2025 at 2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the AD Acknowledgement form for Resident 151 and Resident 530. The DON stated the
importance of an AD was that it was the wishes of the residents decisions regarding life saving measures,
incase they become incapacitated. The DON stated if a resident does not have the capacity to formulate an
AD, the resident's representative would be provided with the information and make decisions on behalf of
the resident. The DON stated documents should be clear whether the resident or resident representative
want to formulate an AD and to whom the information was given to.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled, Advance Directive, revised 02/2025, the
P/P indicated the resident has the right to formulate an advance directive, including the right to accept or
refuse medical or surgical treatment .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 advance directives .the resident or representative is provided with 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 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 . information about whether or not the resident has executed an advance
directive is displayed prominently in the medical record in a section of the record that is retrievable by any
staff.

Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment.
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 use of a bed alarm (an alarm with
sensors that will alarm when a resident leave or attempt to leave their beds unassisted to help prevent falls
by alerting staff) was assessed, monitored and documented for one of three sampled residents (Resident
165).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 165 inhibiting to have quality sleep and restrict the
mobility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 165's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 165 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), open angle glaucoma (an eye disease that causes slow, symptomless vision loss), and
history of falling.
During a review of Resident 165's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/10/2025, the H&P indicated,
Resident 165 had no capacity (ability) to understand and make decision.
During a review of Resident 165's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/14/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 165 required dependent assistance (Helper does all of the effort) from two or
more staff for dressing, hygiene, transfer, maximal assistance (Helper does more than half the effort) from
one staff for eating, oral hygiene, and bed mobility.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/3/2025, at 11:23 a.m., with Resident 165 in Resident
165's room, Treatment Nurse (TN) 1 was transferring Resident 165 from his bed to wheelchair. When
Resident 165 was out of bed, the bed alarm was on, and TN 1 turned it off. Resident 165 stated, the alarm
was so loud, and he tried not to move too much at night because he did not want to startle or wake up his
roommates. Resident 165 stated, the bed alarm made him feel very uncomfortable and he did not know
how to turn it off. Resident 165 stated, he could not sleep well at night.
During an interview on 3/4/2025, at 10:45 a.m., with TN 1, TN 1 stated, he believed that Resident 165 was
at high fall risk and the bed alarm was placed to prevent the fall. TN 1 stated the bed alarm was keeping
Resident 165 from getting up without supervision.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/2025, at 11:22 a.m. with Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) of Resident 165's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 3/1/2025. The OSR indicated,
there was no order for bed alarm. ADON stated, the bed alarm was usually considered as restraint because
it could restrict the resident's movement, and it required doctor's order. ADON stated, he did not know
Resident 165 had the bed alarm placed because he believed Resident 165 did not need the bed alarm due
to physical limitation. ADON stated, the staff should have assessed the needs of bed alarm and tried less
restrictive measure before they placed the bed alarm to minimize any complication. ADON stated, all
restraints should be assessed for its needs, monitored for any injuries, and documented. ADON stated, he
could not find any document regarding the bed alarm use.

Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 165's MDS (restraints and alarms), dated 1/14/2025. The MDS indicated,
there was no restraints or any alarm. MDSC stated, she did not code for the bed alarm because she did not
know Resident 165 had bed alarm. MDSC stated, she did not initiate the care plan regarding the bed alarm
for the same reason. MDSC stated, there was no doctor's order or informed consent for the bed alarm for
Resident 165.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 3/6/2025, at 2:50 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, if the bed alarm
restricted the resident's movement should be considered as a restraint, especially, when the resident did
not want to move around freely due to loud noise. DON stated, the staff should do initial assessment to
justify its use. DON stated, the informed consent should be obtained, and education should be provided.
DON stated, she believed that Resident 165 did not need the bed alarm. DON stated, the staff should have
assessed, monitored, and documented the use of bed alarm.
During a review of Resident 165's Medication Administration Records (MAR), dated from 1/2025 to 3/2025,
the MAR indicated, there was no monitoring documented for the bed alarm.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Use of Restraints, revised 2/2025, the
P&P indicated,
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. 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 that may improve the symptoms. Restraints shall only be used upon the written order of a
physician and after obtaining consent from the resident and/or representative (sponsor). The order shall
include the following: a. The specific reason for the restraint (as it relates to the resident's medical
symptom); b. How the restraint will be used to benefit the resident's medical symptom; and c. The type of
restraint, and period of time for the use of the restraint full documentation of the episode leading to the use
of the physical restraint. This includes not only the resident symptoms but also the conditions,
circumstances, and environment associated with the episode; b. a description of the resident's medical
symptoms (i.e., an indication or a characteristic of a physical or psychological condition) that warranted the
use of restraints; how the restraint use benefits the resident by addressing the medical symptom; the type
of the physical restraint used; e. the length of effectiveness of the restraint time; and observation, range of
motion and repositioning flow sheets.

Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 140's plan of care and delivery of
necessary care and services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 140's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 140 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses including unspecified
psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost
with reality).
During a review of Resident 140's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated had cognition (ability to learn,
reason, remember, understand, and make decisions) was moderately impaired and requires supervision for
eating and moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for toileting, bathing, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 140's Order Summary Report, dated 3/1/2025, the Order Summary Report
indicated Resident 140 had an order for Olanzapine (Antipsychotic medication) Oral Tablet 5 Milligrams
(MG- unit of measurement) - Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for Psychosis manifested by angry
outbursts.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/6/2025 at 8:38 a.m. with Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), Resident 140's MDS, dated [DATE]. The MDS did not indicated Resident 140 had a
psychotic disorder. The MDSC stated because Resident 140 was receiving Olanzapine to treat psychosis
and had a diagnosis of psychosis, the MDS should have reflected Resident 140 had a psychotic disorder.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 2:23 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it is
important for MDS assessments to be patient specific and accurate to ensure the resident receives the
right treatment, resources, and plan of care.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Charting and Documentation, revised
February 2025, the P&P indicated Documentation in the medical record will be objective (not opinionated or

plan:
a. includes measurable objectives and timeframes;
b. describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, including:
(1) services that would otherwise be provided for the above, but are not provided due to the resident
exercising his or her rights, including the right to refuse treatment;
(2) any specialized services to be provided as a result of PASARR recommendations; and
(3) which professional services are responsible for each element of care.

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, and record review, the facility failed to follow through with the Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASRR- a federally mandated program ensuring individuals with mental illness,
intellectual/developmental disabilities, or related conditions receive appropriate placement and services)
recommendation to obtain a PASARR level II evaluation for one of three sampled residents (Resident 25).
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential to result in an inappropriate placement and delay of the resident's
needed services.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 25's admission Record, the admission Records indicated Resident 25 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid
schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), bipolar disorder
(sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to
elevated periods of emotional highs), schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts,
mood, and behavior), anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions that cause fear, dread and other
symptoms that are out of proportion to the situation), and mild cognitive impairment (a condition
characterized by a subtle decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, and language, that is not
severe enough to interfere with daily life).
During a review of Resident 25's history and physical (H/P) dated 7/3/2024, the H/P indicated Resident 25
had fluctuating capacity to make decisions.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 1/15/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 25 had intact cognitive (thinking process) skills and was independent (resident
completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with self-care abilities such as
eating, required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting
hygiene, personal hygiene, and upper body dressing, and required maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort) with shower/bathe, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS
also indicated Resident 25 required supervision (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching contact guard
assistance as resident completes activity) with mobility such as rolling left and right, sit to lying position,
lying to sitting on side of bed, sit to stand, bed to chair transfer, toilet transfer and required moderate
assistance with shower transfers and walking 10 to 150 feet.
During a review of Resident 25's Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level 1
Screening dated 8/3/2023, the PASRR Level 1 indicated Resident 25 was positive for suspected mental
illness, and a PASRR Level 11 assesment was indicated.
During a review of Resident 25's Department of Health Care Services document titled, Unable To Complete
Level 2 Evaluation dated 8/8/2023, the document indicated after reviewing the positive Level 1 screening
and speaking with staff, a Level 2 Mental Health Evaluation was not scheduled because the individual was
unable to participate in the evaluation. The case is now closed. To reopen, please submit a new Level 1
screening.

Residents Affected - Some
Director of Nursing (ADON), the PASRR Level 1 and Department of Health Care Services document was
reviewed. The ADON stated the facility should have reevaluated the resident for Level 1 screening to
reopen the case by submitting a new Level 1 screening so a Level 2 screening could be done. The ADON
stated the importance of the PASRR with residents that may have a mental disorder/development disorder
was to identify and provide the care for them, to make sure the residents are in the correct facility, and the
correct resources and consults are provided for the residents.
During a concurrent interview, and record review on 3/6/2025 at 2:29 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the PASRR Level 1 and Department of Health Care Services document was reviewed. The DON
stated the Level 1 PASRR should have been resubmitted. The DON stated the importance of doing a
PASRR was so the services and consults that the residents need is provided to the residents if they are
positive. The DON stated if Level 2 screening was positive, residents can get the right treatment and care
needed for the residents
.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled PASARR, revised 03/2021, indicated all
new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or
related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process
.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, the admitting nurse notifies the social services department when a resident is identified as having
a possible (or evident) MD, ID or RD, the social worker is responsible for making referrals to the appropriate
state-designated authority.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Implment the interventions in Resident 55's care plan to monitor, and document the effectiveness and
side effects of seizure medications he was receiving.
2. Develop a comprehesive care plan for Resident 530 a comprehensive care plan for a bed sensor alarm
(alarm that triggers if the resident tries to get out of bed) that was placed in her bed.
3. Develop a baseline care plan for a psychotropic (medication that affects the brain)medication for
Resident 427.
4. provide bilateral bed bolsters (a long narrow pillow or cushion used to improve bed safety without the use
of side rails, preventing patients from rolling too far to the left or right) as indicated in Resident 43's untitled
care plan for Falls.
5. ensure Resident 43's head of bed (HOB) was elevated at least 30 degrees as indicated in Resident 43's
untitled care plan for enteral nutrition (TF): at risk for complications related to aspiration.
6. ensure implementing fall prevention care plan interventions for Resident 165.
These deficient practices have the potential to negatively affect the quality of life and wellbeing for
Residents 55, 530 , 427, 43 and 165 to prevent them from achieving their highest practical well-being.
Findings:

During a review of Resident 43's untitled care plan initiated 2/21/2025, the care plan focus was falls:
Resident 43 was at risk for falls with or without injury with a goal of minimizing the risk for falls for Resident
43 to the extent possible. Interventions for Resident 43 included bilateral bed bolsters.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation on 3/4/2025 at 3:35 p.m., Resident 43 was observed leaning to the left side of the
bed with his left arm hanging off the bed. Resident 43's bed did not have bilateral bed bolsters in place.
During an observation on 3/6/2025 at 8:30 a.m., in Resident 43's room, Resident 43 was observed laying
supine (flat) in bed with his TF (Jevity 1.5) turned on at 50 ml/ hr.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 3/6/2025 at 8:36 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
1 entered Resident 43's room, noticed Resident 43 was laying supine. LVN 1 stated when she came into
Resident 43's room to check on him, she noticed Resident 43 was lying flat
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9:04 a.m., LVN 2 stated Resident 43 had history of falls. LVN 2 stated
Resident 43 had the tendency to lean to the left side of the bed and he used to have bilateral bed bolsters
in place but after Resident 43 was readmitted from his hospitalization stay on 3/3/2025, Resident 43 no
longer had the bilateral bed bolsters in place.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9:17 a.m., the assistant director of nursing (ADON) stated it was
important to keep residents receiving tube feeding HOB at least 30 degrees to prevent complications such
as aspiration. The ADON stated he reviewed Resident 43's care plans and Resident 43 had a fall risk care
plan with the intervention of bilateral bed bolsters. The ADON stated bilateral bed bolster were used for
body alignment and positioning for residents who were unable to do so. The ADON stated the order was
overlooked and not reentered for bilateral bed bolsters when Resident 43 was readmitted from the hospital
on 3/3/2025. The ADON stated it was important to follow the fall risk care plan to minimize the risk for falling
and to prevent a fall from reoccurring to prevent injury.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing dated 2001,
the staff was to identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try and prevent
the resident from falling to minimize complications from falling. The P/P indicated the staff, with the input of
the attending physician, was to implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific
risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with history of falls.
During a review of the facility's P/P titled Enteral Nutrition dated 2001, the P/P indicated the risk of
aspiration was assessed by the nursing staff and provider and addressed in the individual care plan. The
P/P indicated the risk of aspiration may be affected by improper positioning of the resident during feeding.
6. During a review of Resident 165's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 165 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), open angle glaucoma (an eye disease that causes slow, symptomless vision loss), and
history of falling.

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 follow professional standards of care and
ensure one out of 16 sampled residents (Resident 43) who was receiving tube feeding (TF, delivers liquid
nutrition through a flexible tube that goes directly into your stomach or small intestine) had the head of bed
(HOB) elevated at least 30 degrees while TF was turned on.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 43 to aspirate (accidental breathing in of food or fluid
into the lungs).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 43's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 43 was
originally admitted to the facility 8/29/2023 and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of seizures (a
sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in movement, behavior, and
consciousness), encounter for attention to gastrostomy (GT, an opening into the stomach from the
abdominal wall, made surgically for the introduction of food), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and
pneumonitis (swelling and irritation, also called inflammation, of lung tissue) due to inhalation of food or
vomit (aspiration).
During a review of Resident 43's untitled care plan initiated 2/26/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 43
had a GT and was at risk for TF complications related to aspiration pneumonia. Goals for Resident 43
included Resident 43 would tolerate prescribed feeding and interventions included keeping Resident 43's
HOB elevated at least 30 degrees.
During a review of Resident 43's minimum data set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 2/21/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 43 was rarely or never understood. The MDS indicated Resident 43 had a
swallowing disorder and coughed or choked during meals or when swallowing medications. The MDS
indicated Resident 43 received 51% or more of daily nutrition by TF.
During a review of Resident 43's Order Listing Report, the Order Listing Report indicated an order was
placed 3/4/2025 for enteral feeding (TF) order: every evening and night shift, Jevity 1.5 (feeding formula) at
50 milliliters (ml, a unit of measurement) per hour (hr., a unit of measurement) for 20 hours, start at 12 p.m.
and turn off at 8 a.m. or until dose limit completed.
During an observation on 3/6/2025 at 8:30 a.m., in Resident 43's room, Resident 43 was observed laying
supine (flat) in bed with his TF (Jevity 1.5) turned on at 50 ml/ hr.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 3/6/2025 at 8:36 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)
1 entered Resident 43's room, noticed Resident 43 was laying supine and put Resident 43's HOB up 30
degrees. LVN 1 stated when she came into Resident 43's room to check on him, she noticed Resident 43
was lying flat, so she put the HOB up 30 degrees because she wanted to prevent aspiration.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9:17 a.m., the assistant director of nursing (ADON) stated it was
important to keep residents receiving tube feeding HOB at least 30 degrees to prevent complications such
as aspiration.

self-esteem.
During a review of Resident 77's admission record, the admission Record indicated Resident 77 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is interrupted causing brain cells to die), and
Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM: a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing).
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 12/10/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 77's cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) were moderately impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 77 was required moderate assistance for eating and was dependent on all other aspects of
activities of daily living (ADL: bathing, toileting hygiene, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, oral hygiene, dressing,
and personal hygiene.
During an observation on 3/4/2025 at 11:00 a.m. in Resident 77's room, Resident 77 was observed with
unkempt finger nails that had a fecal matter odor, with black substance underneath the nails on both hands.
During a concurrent observation and interview of Resident 77's fingernails on 3/5/2025 at 4:20p.m., with
Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) , CNA 1 stated the care she provided includes bed baths, washing
the face, hands, clipping fingernails, and filing them down. CNA 1 stated Resident 77 tends to scratch
himself. CNA 1 stated not cutting the fingernails will lead to scratches, skin tears, abrasions, and can lead
to an infection if the wound is open. CNA 1 stated Resident 77's fingernails should not be that dirty.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 4:30 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated CNA's
does hygiene care and cut nails as it is part of the ADL (grooming and hygiene). DON stated not cutting the
fingernails is not hygienic as the resident can eat with dirty hands.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure one out of three sampled residents
(Resident 43) with history of falls, had bilateral bed bolsters (a long narrow pillow or cushion used to
improve bed safety without the use of side rails, preventing patients from rolling too far to the left or right) in
place as care planned and recommended by the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of health care
professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their clients).
This deficient practice has a potential for Resident 43 at risk for recurring falls and injury.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 43's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 43 was
originally admitted to the facility 8/29/2023 and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of other lack of
coordination, hemiplegia (cannot move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (stroke, a lack of
blood flow to an area of the brain leading the brain cells to begin to die off due to a lack of oxygen and other
nutrients), and seizures (a sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes
in movement).
During a review of Resident 43's Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR)
Communication Form dated 2/11/2025, the SBAR Communication Form indicated Resident 43 had a fall
resulting in a 1 centimeter (CM, a unit of measurement) by 0.1 cm cut noted under the right eyebrow, and a
0.5 cm by 0.1 cm cut on the upper right lip, both with a small amount of bleeding.
During a review of Resident 43's Order Listing Report, the Order Listing Report indicated an order was
placed 2/13/2025 and discontinued on 2/24/2025 (while Resident 43 was in the GACH for an unrelated
event from 2/22/205 to 3/3/2025) for Resident 43 may have bilateral bed bolsters.
During a review of Resident 43's IDT Note dated 2/14/2025, the IDT note indicated Resident 43 had a fall
incident on 2/11/2025 and a certified nursing assistant (CNA, unknown) found Resident 43 on the floor. The
IDT indicated Resident 43 was totally dependent (staff does all the work) on staff for bed mobility (turning
and repositioning in bed) and transfers (from bed to wheelchair or chair). The IDT Note indicated Resident
43 was sent to a general acute care hospital [GACH] on 2/11/2025 for evaluation but was sent back with
negative results. The IDT note indicated the IDT members recommended bilateral bed bolsters for Resident
43.
During a review of Resident 43's minimum data set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 2/21/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 43 was rarely or never understood. The MDS indicated Resident 43 had 1 fall
since the prior assessment.
During a review of Resident 43's untitled care plan initiated 2/21/2025, the care plan focus was falls:
Resident 43 was at risk for falls with or without injury with a goal of minimizing the risk for falls for Resident
43 to the extent possible. Interventions for Resident 43 included bilateral bed bolsters.
During an observation on 3/4/2025 at 3:35 p.m., Resident 43 was observed leaning to the left side

place.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9:04 a.m., LVN 2 stated Resident 43 had history of falls. LVN 2 stated
Resident 43 had the tendency to lean to the left side of the bed and he used to have bilateral bed bolsters
in place but after Resident 43 was readmitted from the GACH on 3/3/2025, Resident 43 no longer had the
bilateral bed bolsters in place.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 9:17 a.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated he reviewed
Resident 43's care plans and Resident 43 had a fall risk care plan with the intervention of bilateral bed
bolsters. The ADON stated the IDT team note from 2/14/2025 indicated the IDT recommended bilateral bed
bolsters after Resident 43 fell out of bed on 2/11/2025. The ADON stated bilateral bed bolster were used for
body alignment and positioning for residents who were unable to do so. The ADON stated the order was
overlooked and not reentered for bilateral bed bolsters when Resident 43 was readmitted from the hospital
on 3/3/2025. The ADON stated it was important to follow the fall risk care plan to minimize the risk for falling
and to prevent a fall from reoccurring to prevent injury.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing dated 2001,
the staff was to identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try and prevent
the resident from falling to minimize complications from falling. The P/P indicated the staff, with the input of
the attending physician, was to implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific
risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with history of falls.

amount of medication that can be dispensed when the pharmacy services are not available) on a
designated log.
2.
Failed to receive and review daily activity and discrepancy reports of the Cubex (a computerized system
that stores, dispenses, and tracks medications in a healthcare setting) since 10/13/24, or for at least 4

asked to review the E-kit and the licensed vocational nurse (LVN 3) presented a binder. Inside this binder
was a loose yellow slip dated 1/9/25 and pharmacy log forms filed according to the months of a year.
During a concurrent interview and a review of the e-kit pharmacy log under the tab January, LVN 3
confirmed that it was blank, or no entry. LVN 3 stated the information on the yellow slip should be entered
on the log as well.
A review of the instructions printed on the facility's Emergency Kit Pharmacy Log indicated . Enter
information completely on E-kit log .
A review of the facility policy and procedure of Emergency kit usage did not denote the local State
government regulation requirement of maintaining separate records of use
2. During an observation on 3/4/25 at 12:16 PM in the medication room at nursing station 4, there was a

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to monitor specific target behaviors for a psychotropic
medication (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) for one of
two sampled residents (Resident 427).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in over use of an antipsychotic medication, without
monitoring for the effectiveness and/or ineffective of the medication and can lead to adverse drug reactions.
During a review of Resident 427's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 427 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid (pattern of behavior where a person
feels distrustful and suspicious of other people) schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by
disturbances in thought), depressive episodes (persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure), and
history of other mental and behavioral disorders (disruptive patterns of behavior that cause problems in
daily life).
During a review of Resident 427's History and Physical (H&P) dated 3/6/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
427 has the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 427's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 3/3/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 427's cognitive (ability to make decisions of daily living) skills were mildly
impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 427 required maximal assistance for bathing, toileting hygiene,
chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and required moderate assistance for eating, oral hygiene, and personal
hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 427 did not have any impairments on both the upper
(arms/shoulders) and lower (hips/legs) extremities and utilizes a walker.
During a review of Resident 427's Order Summary, the Order Summary dated 3/6/2025 indicated orders for
Fluphenazine Hydrochloride (HCl: used to enhance the solubility and stability of medications)
([antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia]) oral tablet 10 milligram (mg: unit of mass) give 10
mg by mouth at bedtime for paranoid schizophrenia manifested by (m/b) paranoid delusions of being
poisoned on 2/25/2025. On 3/3/2025, an order to monitor episodes of paranoid schizophrenia as evidenced
by (AEB): paranoid delusions of being poisoned. Drug: Fluphenazine every shift was placed.
During a review of a Psychotherapeutic Drug Summary Sheet for Fluphenazine from 2/1/2025 to
2/28/2025, there were no behavior data documentations.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 427's orders and Medication Administration
Record (MAR: documentation of medications administered) dated 2/1/2025 -2/28/2025 on 3/6/2025 at
11:52a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), LVN 3 stated Fluphenazine was ordered on 2/26/2025
and indicated Resident 427's behavior should have been monitored for her paranoid schizophrenia m/b
paranoid delusions of being poisoned right away. LVN 3 stated on the MAR dated 2/1/2025 - 2/28/2025,
there were no orders to monitor the behavior but did have an order for the medication. LVN 3 stated if the
resident is not monitored for their behavior, they would not know if any behaviors were exhibited, the type of
behavior presented, whether it is a new behavior, and if there are external factors that contribute to the
behaviors.

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 record review, the facility failed to store food in a sanitary manner to
prevent growth of microorganisms (an organism that can be seen only through a microscope) that could
cause food borne illness (food poisoning: any illness resulting from the food spoilage of contaminated food,
pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites that contaminate food, as well as toxins) for 172 out of 186 total
residents in the facility by not:
A. Ensuring food Items were dated, labeled, and discarded before the used by date (expiration dates).
B. Ensuring the temperature of a small freezer in dry storage was monitored and documented.
C. Ensuring the proper level of the concentration of the quaternary ammonium in sanitization bucket was
monitored and maintained.
D. Ensuring Dietary Aid (DA) 1 took off her wristwatch that was not covered with gloves.
These failures had the potential to affect residents and result in pathogen (germ) exposure and placed
residents at risk for developing foodborne illness (food poisoning) with symptoms including upset stomach,
stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, and can lead to other serious medical
complications and hospitalization.
Findings:
A. During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/3/2025, at 8:24 a.m., with Assistant Dietary
Supervisor (ADS), in dry storage, there were food items that were not dated, properly sealed, and
discarded before the used by date as follows:

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement infection control
measures by failing to ensure Quality Assurance Nurse (QAN-a nurse who is evaluating nursing practices
within an agency and recommending changes for improvement) 1 performed hand hygiene while she was
checking lunch trays in dining room.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in compromised infection control measures to prevent the potential
spread of infection among residents, staff, and visitors.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/5/2025, at 12:12 p.m., with QAN 1 in dining room, QAN
1 was checking the residents' tray against the printed sheets of diet orders. QAN 1 pulled the tray out of the
lunch tray cart, and she lifted the plate cover up to check the food items on the plate. QAN 1 noticed the
metal closure part from the lunch cart was coming down and left side door was moving toward the center
while she was checking the tray. QAN1 pushed the metal closure part up and turn to right side and pushed
the door to the right side to open. After touching the surfaces of the lunch cart, QAN1 did not perform hand
hygiene, and she touched another resident's trays and food items on the tray. QAN 1 stated, she did not
realize she was cross contaminated (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one
person, object or place to another). QAN 1 stated, hand washing/sanitization should be performed between
the tasks and touched other surfaces to prevent spreading infection and cross contamination.
During an interview on 3/6/2025, 9:40 a.m., with Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), IPN stated, hand
hygiene should be performed between tasks and after touching high touch surfaces (those that people
frequently touch with their hands, which could therefore become easily contaminated with microorganisms
and picked up by others on their hands). IPN stated, the staff should have sanitized the hands when
touching the trays after touching the door and metal parts of the tray cart.
During an interview on 3/6/2025, at 2:50 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, all staff should
perform hand hygiene before, after, and between the tasks. DON stated hand hygiene was the first line of
defense against the infection. DON stated, touching the surfaces could cause cross contamination and staff
should have performed hand hygiene to protect the residents and themselves.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, reviewed
2/2025, the P&P indicated, Policy Statement: This facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to
prevent the spread of healthcare -associated infections. The P & P indicated all personnel are trained and
regularly in-serviced on the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the transmission of
healthcare-associated infections. It also indicated that all personnel are expected to adhere to hand hygiene
policies and practices to help prevent the spread of infections to other personnel, residents, and visitors .
Indications for Hand Hygiene: 1. Hand hygiene is indicated: c. after contact with blood, body fluids, or
contaminated surfaces. e. after touching the resident's environment.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the antibiotic stewardship program policy when
the antibiotic (a substance used to kill bacteria and to treat infections) did not meet Loeb's or McGeer's
Criteria (criteria used to determine appropriate use of antibiotics) for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 164)for prescribed doxycycline (antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to increase antibiotic resistance and provide antibiotics
unnecessarily.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 164's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 164 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the
same side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body) following
unspecified cerebral infarction (CVA-stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of the brain) affecting left
non-dominant side and sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection).
During a review of Resident 164's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 1/14/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 164's cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) was intact, required partial assistance (helper
provides less than half the effort) for eating and oral hygiene, and required substantial assistance (helper
provides more than half the effort) for bathing and dressing.
During a review of Resident 164's physician order summary, the order indicated Doxycycline Hyclate Oral
Tablet 100 milligrams (mg - a unit of measurement), give 1 tablet by mouth two times day for sepsis for 5
days, order date 2/2/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/2025 at 3:45 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist
Nurse (IPN), Resident 164's medical record. The IPN stated the Infection Screening Evaluation dated
2/2/2025 indicated Resident 164's infection did not meet Loeb or McGeer's Criteria. The IPN stated there
was no documentation indicated the physician was notified that the infection did not meet criteria. The IPN
stated it is important to inform the physician that the infection did not meet criteria to prevent possible
misuse of antibiotics.
During an interview on 3/6/3035 at 2:23 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated if the
resident does not meet criteria, there can be a negative outcome for the resident. The DON stated the
physician should be notified if a resident does not meet criteria.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Infection Preventionist, revised February
2025, the P&P indicated, the infection preventionist collects, analyzes and provides infection and antibiotic
usage data and trends to nursing staff and health care practitioners.

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide documented evidence of facility
employees' screening, education, offering, and current Corona virus disease, ([COVID-19] a contagious
infectious disease), vaccination (medications used to prevent diseases usually given by injection or by
mouth) status.
This deficient practice had the potential to place the facility staff and residents at risk for outcomes such as
severe pneumonia (inflammation of lungs that cause difficulty breathing) which could lead to hospitalization
due to COVID-19.
Findings:
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 11:14 a.m. with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated she
did not finish auditing the employee Covid-19 vaccination status and indicated she does not easily have
access to Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1)'s Covid-19 vaccination status and would have to look in her
employee file. The IPN stated the facility would need to know everyone's vaccination status including
activities staff, admissions staff, the Administrator (ADM), social services staff, CNA's, Licensed Vocational
Nurses (LVN), Registered Nurses (RN), kitchen staff, Occupational Therapists (OT: healthcare professional
who help people improve their ability to perform daily activities [dressing, bathing, oral hygiene]), Physical
Therapists (PT: healthcare professional who help patients improve their physical function and mobility), and
Speech Therapists (ST: healthcare professional who evaluates and treat disorders related to speech,
language, and swallowing). The IPN stated she does not have the medical directors' (MD) and consultants'
Covid-19 vaccination status. The IPN stated knowing the vaccination status is important to limit exposure to
residents.
During an interview on 3/6/2025 at 4:27p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
Covid-19 vaccination status for all employees DON stated they keep employee Covid-19 record to ensure
safety and infection control.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Coronavirus Disease
(Covid-19)-Vaccination of Staff), revised on 6/2023, the P&P indicated staff means individuals who provide
any care, treatment or other services for the facility and/or its residents, regardless of clinical responsibility
