Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments.
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 ensure residents were informed of risks and benefits of
treatment for four (Resident 23, Resident 34, Resident 70, and Resident 174) out of 16 sampled residents
when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 23's psychotropic medication (drugs that affect the brain, mood, thoughts, or behavior) informed
consent was not completed and verified;
2. Resident 70' psychotropic medication informed consent was not completed and verified;
3. Resident 34's responsible party was not notified in a timely manner about the results of a chest X-ray
(digital image of internal composition of the body); and
4. Resident 174's psychotropic medication informed consent was not completed and verified.
These failures had the potential to put residents at risk for misidentifying and not reporting possible side
effects and adverse reactions that can be detrimental to their health due to lack of knowledge about their
psychotropic medications, as well as putting Resident 34 RPs not informed of his current care in a timely
manner.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 23's clinical record indicated Resident 23 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of
cerebral vascular accident (also known as stroke, a disorder of the brain caused by lack of blood flow), and
schizoaffective disorder (a disorder of the brain that can cause people to see and hear things that are not
real).
Review of Resident 23's clinical record indicated Resident 23 had an order for Risperidone ( medication
used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia [mental disorder]) 0.25 milligram (mg, unit of measurement) Give
1 tablet by mouth two times a day for m/b [manifested by] auditory hallucinations related to Schizoaffective
disorder. Review of Resident 23's clinical record further indicated an informed consent was signed on
12/13/24 by the resident. The risks, benefits, and side effects of the medication were not listed in the
informed consent form.
During an interview with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on 1/30/25 at 2:56 p.m, the IDON stated the
consent that was in the chart for Resident 23 for Risperidone was the current consent being used. The
IDON also stated she would follow up on if the form used for obtaining consent for the use of psychotropics
followed facility policy for the use of psychotropics.

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 follow their policy and procedure (P&P) for an advance
directive (AD, a written instruction, such as a living will or durable power of attorney that authorizes another
person to act on behalf of the resident) and completion of the Physician Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment
(POLST, a document that specifies the medical treatments the residents wants to receive during serious
illness) form for one out of two sampled residents (Resident 23). These failures had the potential to lead to
the delivery of unnecessary or inappropriate medical services against residents' goals and wishes.
Findings:
Review of Resident 23's admission record indicated Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 23's POLST form dated 1/20/24 indicated section D for AD was marked for Advance
Directive, Healthcare Agent if named in Advance Directive field was empty. Further review of Resident 23's
clinical record indicated there was no documented copy of an AD signed by the resident or responsible
party (RP, a person who is accountable for making decisions on behalf of the resident).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/25 at 11:09 a.m., with the social services director
(SSD), the SSD confirmed that Resident 23's POLST form was marked for Advance Directive but that she
would need to follow up to see if there was a copy on file.

Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman,
before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Long Term Care Ombudsman
(Ombudsman, an advocate for residents in the nursing homes) was notified in writing of a transfer for 82
transfers/discharges. This failure had the potential of not providing 71 residents and/or their responsible
party (RP, a person who is accountable for making decisions on behalf of the resident) with access to an
advocate who could inform them of their rights and from being inappropriately transferred.
Findings:
During a review of Residents 11 and 58's electronic health records regarding their transfers to an acute
care hospital, on several occasions, a transfer notification form, that is to be sent to the Ombudsman, was
not located.
During an interview with the social services director (SSD), on 1/31/25 at 10:22 a.m., the SSD stated the
facility do not have any notification forms to the Ombudsman for Residents 11 or 58. The SSD stated the
facility did not have an Ombudsman since May of 2024 and did not notify the Ombudsman office of any
transfers/discharges, since May of 2024.
During a review of a list of residents who were transferred/discharged from May 2024 through January
2025, the list indicated 98 discharge/transfers since May 2024, with only seven notifications to the
Ombudsman in January 2025.
During an interview with the SSD on 1/31/25 at 12:40 p.m., the SSD stated each resident who was
transferred or discharged , from May 2024 through January 2025, was listed; if they went out more than
once they were listed each time. Neither the Ombudsman nor the resident or their representative received a
notice of transfer/discharge, except the ones in January of this year.
During a review of the facility's policy, titled Transfer and Discharge (including AMA), revised 12/19/2022,
indicated .4. The facility's transfer/discharge notice will be provided to the resident and the resident's
representative in a language and manner in which they can understand.7. The facility will maintain evidence
that the notice was sent to the Ombudsman.12. Emergency Transfer/Discharges - initiated by the facility for
medical reasons to an acute care setting such as a hospital, for the immediate safety and welfare of a

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement and develop a
comprehensive care plan for one of 18 residents (Resident 67), when Resident 67's dementia (a general
term for a group of brain disorders that cause a decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking,
reasoning, and problem-solving) diagnosis was not addressed.
This failure had the potential to result in the inability to identify the residents' individualized care issues and
implement person-centered care.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 67's care plans, in his electronic health record, a care plan regarding his
dementia was not found.
During an interview with the facility's nurse consultant (NC) on 1/29/25 at 8:43 a.m., the NC stated Resident
67 should have a specific cognitive care plan. The NC acknowledged Resident 67 did not have a dementia
care plan.
During a review of the facility's policy, titled Dementia Care, revised 12/19/2022, the policy indicated .3. The
care plan interventions will be related to each resident's individual symptomology and rate of dementia (or
related disease) progression with the end result being noted improvement or maintained of ;the expected
stable rate of decline associated with dementia and dementia-like illnesses.

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
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 a resident receiving dialysis (removal
of waste and excess fluid from the body) treatment received consistent care with professional standards for
one out of two sampled residents (Resident 32) when their dialysis communication sheets (DCS) were
missing for several treatment days. This failure had the potential for Resident 32's dialysis care not being
properly communicated and putting Resident 32 at risk for complications.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 32's clinical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of
cerebrovascular accident (CVA, also known as stroke, a brain disorder caused by lack of blood flow to the
brain), and end-stage renal disease (when the kidneys no longer function to remove waste from the blood).
Review of Resident 32's clinical record further indicated Resident 32 received dialysis on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
Review of Resident 32's dialysis record indicated there were missing DCS forms from 1/16/25-1/28/25.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) on 1/30/25 at
2:56 p.m., the IDON stated the DCS forms should be kept in the resident's chart or in white binder that
goes with the resident from the facility to the dialysis center, and then back to the facility. The IDON
confirmed there was no DCS forms from 1/16/25-1/28/25 for Resident 32.
Review of the facility's policy titled Hemodialysis, last revised 6/5/23, indicated .The licensed nurse will

licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate pharmaceutical
services when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Two medications, glipizide and duloxetine, were not available for two out of seven residents (Residents
224 and 55)
2. There were discrepancies between the controlled drug (those with high potential for abuse and addiction
record (CDR, an inventory/accountability sheet) and the medication administration record (MAR) for four
out of four residents (Residents 224, 32, 1 and 2)
These failures had the potential to affect the health of residents and resulted in the facility not having
accurate accountability of controlled medications which had the potential for misuse or diversion.
Findings:
1. During a medication pass observation on 1/28/25 at 4:41 p.m., LVN F stated she did not have glipizide
(medication that lowers blood sugar) 5 milligram (mg, unit of measurement) in the medication cart for
Resident 224, and that she would have to call the pharmacy to get it stocked.
A review of Resident 224's physician orders, dated 10/29/24, indicated Resident 224 was to receive
glipizide 5 mg tablet two times a day for hyperglycemia [high blood sugar] related to TYPE 2 DIABETES
MELLITUS [chronic condition when the body could not produce insulin that could lead to high blood sugar
levels].
During a follow up interview with LVN F on 1/28/25 at 4:45 p.m., LVN F stated she would call to get an order
for a one-time dose of glipizide at 8 p.m., that day to make up for the dose missed.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Based on interview and record review, the consultant pharmacist (CP) failed to identify and report
irregularities during the medication regimen review (MRR) for two (Resident 25 and Resident 174) out of 23
sampled residents when:
1. Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS, a rating scale that measures the severity of abnormal
movements) was not done for Resident 25; and
2. AIMS was not done for Resident 174.
This failure had the potential to result in unnecessary or prolonged use of the psychotropic medication,
which could increase the resident's risk of experiencing side effects (undesirable effects from the
medication).
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 25's medical record indicated a diagnosis of but is not limited to Schizoaffective
Disorder (chronic mental health condition in which people experience mood disorder, symptoms include
hallucinations and/or delusions; feelings of intense sadness).
A review of Resident 25's Physician Order dated 7/4/24 indicated, Seroquel Oral Tablet [antipsychotic
medication] 300 mg [milligram, a unit of measurement]; give one tablet by mouth in the morning for m/b
[manifested by] visual hallucination related to schizoaffective disorder.
A review of Resident 25's Physician Order dated 7/16/23 indicated, Monitor for side effects to use of
psychotropic medications.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 25's medical records with the CP on 1/31/25 at
9:52 a.m., the CP verified Resident 25 was on antipsychotic medication, Quetiapine (Seroquel). The CP
also verified AIMS was not done for Resident 25. The CP stated, the facility should have done it initially and
every six months. The CP also stated, since 2022, according to the facility, they do not use AIMS and we
did not recommend AIMS since then. The CP also stated, I don't know what they do in replacement of
AIMS.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Use of Psychotropic Medication revised
12/19/22, the P&P indicated, .11. The effects of the psychotropic medications on a resident' physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, such as but not limited to:
