Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the
facility failed to ensure Resident 1 received care and services with reasonable accommodation when the
bathroom did not have a grab bar on the left side to assist Resident 1's toileting needs.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in decreased independence to perform activities of daily living
(ADLs).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record dated 8/8/23, the admission Record indicated Resident 1
was admitted to the facility in June 2022 with diagnoses that included aphasia (loss of ability to understand
or express speech, due to brain damage), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), muscle
weakness, osteoarthritis (type of arthritis when cartilage/ flexible tissue at the end of the bones wear down)
and the need for assistance with personal care.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care)
dated 7/27/23, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment
tool for resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 13 out of 15 indicating Resident 1
is cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated, under Section G, Resident 1 was able to transfer from bed to
chair and use the toilet with staff assistance.
During an interview on 8/8/23 at 1:15 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident
1 refused to go to the bathroom despite a lot of encouragement from the staff. CNA 1 also stated Resident
1 was able to hold onto the grab bar to stand up.
During a concurrent observation and joint interviews on 8/18/23 at 1 p.m. with Resident 1 and CNA 2, CNA
2 stated she did not know why Resident 1 did not want to use the bathroom. CNA 2 stated a bedside
commode is provided at the bedside for Resident 1 to use for bowel movements and a urinal was at the
bedside. Resident 1 stated the bathroom did not have a grab bar to hold onto during transfers from the
chair to the toilet. An observation of Resident 1's bathroom was done. There was a grab bar on the right
side of the toilet, while none was on the left side. Resident 1 stated not being able to use the right grab bar
because of right side paralysis and only the left hand was good. Resident 1 stated not feeling safe if there
was not a left side grab bar.
During an interview on 8/8/23 at 1:09 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated Resident 1 was not
able to move right side of the body because of right side paralysis but was able to hop on the left leg and
use the left arm to hold onto the grab bar in the bathroom. DON stated Resident 1 needed some staff
assistance on the right side.

Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
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, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the facility failed to ensure
assessment accurately reflects Resident 1's status when the Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool
used to direct resident care) coded a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus without supporting documentation.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in uncoordinated care.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, dated 8/8/23, the admission Record indicated Resident
1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included aphasia (loss of ability to understand
or express speech, due to brain damage), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), muscle
weakness, osteoarthritis, and diabetes mellitus (inappropriately elevated blood sugar levels).
During a telephone interview with Family Member (FM) 1 on 8/7/23 at 7:09 p.m., FM 1 stated facility staff
had been saying Resident 1 was diabetic and was filling out forms for Resident 1 incorrectly despite
Resident 1 not having of diabetes.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/8/23 at 12:38 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's admission Record, dated 8/8/23 and MDS dated [DATE], were reviewed. DON stated, when
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in June 2022, a company that helped the facility enter ICD
(International Classification of Diseases, a medical coding system to catalog health conditions by
categories) codes in the clinical record added diabetes as one of Resident 1's diagnoses. DON stated
Resident 1's clinical record from the discharging facility did not have documentation that Resident 1 had
diabetes. DON stated because Resident 1 did not receive any treatment for diabetes, Resident 1's MDS
should not reflect the diagnosis. Review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE] indicated, under Section IActive Diagnoses, instructions included to check the diagnoses that were active the last 7 days of
assessment period. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was checked off for diabetes mellitus. DON stated the
MDS was coded incorrectly.
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 8/8/23, the Order Summary Report
indicated Resident 1 did not receive any treatment for diabetes.
During a review of Resident 1's care plan initiated in July 2022, the care plan indicated Resident 1 did not
have any actual or potential problems related to diabetes and did not receive any interventions to address
it.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1), the
facility failed to ensure Resident 1 received treatment in accordance with professional standards and
Resident 1's choices when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. A long-standing skin rash was not treated in a timely manner.
2. Neurovascular Specialist's (one who has expertise in treating a variety of conditions and vascular
malformations of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves) recommendation for a 30-day heart function
monitor was not followed up.
This failure resulted in delayed management of care.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, dated 8/8/23, the admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in June 2022 with diagnoses that included aphasia (loss of ability to
understand or express speech, due to brain damage), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body),
muscle weakness, osteoarthritis (type of arthritis when cartilage/ flexible tissue at the end of the bones
wear down) and the need for assistance with personal care.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care).
dated 7/27/23, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment
tool for resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 13 out of 15 indicating Resident 1
is cognitively intact.
During a concurrent observation and joint interviews on 8/8/23 at 11 a.m. with Director of Nursing (DON)
and Resident 1, Resident 1's left upper arm had thick raised patches of scaly and pinkish brown area.
Resident 1 stated the rash started since admission. A smaller area of raised pink, scaly patch was noted on
Resident 1's left elbow. DON stated it was Resident 1's scar tissue but Resident 1 quickly stated it was not
a scar tissue but a rash like the one in the upper arm. Resident 1 stated the rashes were itchy and kept
Resident 1 up at night. Resident 1 also stated the staff had been applying cream but that had stopped four
days ago.
During a concurrent interview and review on 8/8/23 at 11:05 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1,
Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 8/8/23 was reviewed. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's rash had been
treated with ketoconazole cream (antifungal, treats fungal infection of the skin) which was kept at Resident
1's bedside for the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to apply. LVN 1 stated there was no physician's
order in the clinical record to apply ketoconazole cream, and no care plan that addressed it.
During an interview and concurrent review on 8/8/23 at 11:15 a.m. with DON, Resident 1's clinical record
was reviewed. DON stated there was no Interdisciplinary Team meeting to address Resident 1's rash. DON
also stated Resident 1 has had the rashes since admission in June 2022 but there was no documentation
that Resident 1's attending physician was notified about it.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications last revised
April 2019, the P&P indicated the following;

2. During a telephone interview on 8/7/23 at 7:09 p.m. with Family Member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated Resident 1
was taken to an appointment with a specialist and came back with an order for heart monitor, but the facility
refused to put it on because Resident 1 was not Skilled.
During a review of Neurovascular Clinic Follow-up Visit dated 9/9/22, the Neurovascular Clinic Follow-up
Visit indicated a recommendation for a 30-day cardiac event monitor to check for paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation (abnormal heartbeat) which was a possible cause of Resident 1's stroke. The recommendation
indicated, if Resident 1 was found to have atrial fibrillation, Resident 1 would be switched from aspirin 81
milligrams (mg) to a direct oral anticoagulant to prevent any future secondary stroke. The recommendation
indicated for Resident 1 to continue taking aspirin until results of the 30-day cardiac monitor is available.
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 8/8/23, the Order Summary Report indicated
Resident 1 received aspirin 81 mg one tablet daily.
During a telephone interview on 8/22/23 at 12:33 p.m. with DON, DON stated Resident 1 went to the
hospital Emergency Department (ED) on 10/28/22 after experiencing chest pain. DON stated the hospital
performed several tests and Resident 1 returned to the facility the same day without any new order. DON
confirmed there was no documentation in the clinical record that indicated the cardiac monitor was not
needed.
