Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
accommodation of needs for one final sampled resident (Resident 43) reviewed for accommodation of
needs. *The facility failed to ensure Resident 43's bed controller (used to reposition the bed) was within
reach. This failure placed the resident at risk for not having her needs met.Findings: Review of the facility's
P&P titled Accommodation of needs revised 3/2021 showed the facility's environment and staff behaviors
are directed toward assisting the resident in maintaining and/or achieving safe independent functioning,
dignity, and well-being. The resident's individual needs and preferences are accommodated to the extend
possible, except when the health and safety of the individual or other residents would be endangered.
Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Review of Resident 43's Care Plan Report showed a care plan initiated 11/12/25, for risk for pain
and discomfort related to cerebral edema and left-sided weakness. On 12/8/25 at 0806 hours, an
observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 43. Resident 43 was in her room
without staff present. Resident 43 was lying in her bed and stated she was uncomfortable. Resident 43 was
asked where the controller used to reposition her bed was located, to which she replied, I do not see the
controller. Resident 43's bed controller was observed wrapped around Resident 43's television out of
Resident 43's sight and reach. Resident 43 stated she repositioned herself frequently related to pain. On
12/8/25 at 0807 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with CNA 3. CNA 3 was in
the hallway. CNA 3 was assigned to provide care for Resident 43. CNA 3 stated Resident 43 had left sided
weakness and required total care from the staff. CNA 3 stated she was assisting Resident 43 with
breakfast, however, CNA 3 had to leave Resident 43's room. CNA 3 verified Resident 43's bed repositioning
controller was wrapped around Resident 43's television, out of Resident 43's sight and reach. CNA 3 stated
before she left Resident 43's room she should have placed the bed controller within reach of Resident 43.
CNA 3 stated Resident 43 repositioned herself in bed due to episodes of pain.

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five final
sampled residents (Residents 7 and 36) reviewed for unnecessary medications were free from
unnecessary psychotropic medications. * The facility failed to ensure the monitoring for Resident 7's
behavior for the use of the divalproex (anticonvulsant medication used to manage bipolar disorder) and
escitalopram (antidepressant) medications were specific. * The facility failed to ensure the monitoring for
Resident 36's behavior for the use of aripiprazole (antipsychotic medication) was specific and consistent to
the resident's diagnosis. This failure had the potential for Residents 7 and 36 to experience potential harm
from adverse consequences and a significant decline in functioning. Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use revised 2/2025 showed psychotropic
medication management is an interdisciplinary process that involves the resident, family, and/or the
representative and includes:
a. determining adequate indications for use;
b. establishing appropriate dose (including duplicate therapy) and duration;
c. adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences;
d. determining appropriateness of gradual dose reduction; and
e. preventing, identifying, and responding to adverse consequences.
Behavioral and other non-pharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize or
eradicate the need for medication, permit the lowest possible dose if indicated, and support efforts at
gradual dose reduction. Residents on psychotropic medication receive gradual dose reductions (coupled
with non-pharmacological interventions), unless clinically contraindicated, to determine whether the
continued use of the medication is benefiting the resident, to find an optimal dose, or in an effort to
discontinue the medication.
1. Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 8/22/25, showed Resident 7 had no capacity to understand
and make decisions.
a. Review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report dated 12/9/25, showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 8/21/25, to administer divalproex sodium delayed release 125 mg, one capsule via GT two times a
day for dementia with behavior disturbance manifested by mood lability; and
- dated 10/30/25, for the use of the Depakote (brand name for divalproex), to monitor for dementia with
behavioral disturbance manifested by mood lability; to tally every shift.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the plan of care for one of 13 final sampled
residents (Resident 36) was revised to address the resident's specific care needs. * Resident 36's care plan
addressing the episodes of bladder and bowel incontinence was not revised when the resident was
determined as not a candidate for B&B (bowel and bladder) retraining or toileting program. This failure
posed the risks for the resident to not receive the care and services required to attain or maintain the
highest level of physical and mental well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans,
Comprehensive Person-Centered revised 3/2022 showed assessments of residents are ongoing and care
plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change. On 12/8/25 at
0901 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 36 was observed with PureWick external catheter
(a non-invasive device for managing urinary incontinence) connected to a clear canister to drain urine.
Resident 36 stated she has been using the external catheter since she was admitted to the facility. Medical
record review for Resident 36 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 36 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident 36's H&P examination dated 1/7/25 showed the resident had the capacity to
understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 36's Order Summary Report showed a physician's
order dated 1/1/25 for PureWick catheter attached to canister-may drain every shift and as needed when
resident is in bed every shift and as needed. Review of Resident 36's Plan of Care dated 1/1/25, showed a
care plan problem for episodes of bladder and bowel incontinence due to impaired mobility, dependence on
staff for toileting needs, with long term history of bladder and bowel incontinence. Resident uses PureWick
external catheter for bladder function and incontinence prior to the admission to the facility. The care plan
interventions included to assess if the resident was appropriate for B&B retraining program or B&B toileting
program. Resident 36's medical record failed to show the resident was assessed if appropriate for B&B
retraining program or B&B toileting program. On 12/11/25 at 0920 hours, an interview and concurrent
medical record review for Resident 36 was conducted with MDS Coordinator 1. MDS Coordinator 1 verified
the interventions in the care plan to assess the resident if appropriate for B&B retraining program or B&B
toileting program. When asked if she conducted an assessment for Resident 36, MDS Coordinator 1 stated
she talked to Resident 36 and the resident informed MDS Coordinator 1 that she has been using PureWick
for a long time at home. MDS Coordinator 1 stated Resident 36 was not a candidate for B&B retraining or
toileting program. MDS Coordinator 1 also verified Resident 36's medical record did not have
documentation an assessment was conducted to determine if the resident was appropriate for B&B
retraining program or toileting program. In addition, MDS Coordinator 1 verified the care plan should have
been revised to remove the intervention to assess if the resident was appropriate for B&B retraining
program or toileting program since Resident 36 was not a candidate for retraining. On 12/11/25 at 1550
hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator, DON, and ADON. The Administrator, DON, and

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the quality care and
services were provided for one of three residents (Resident 51) reviewed for closed records. * The facility
failed to ensure Resident 51 was administered the budesonide (steroid medication) medication as per the
physician's orders and failed to notify the physician when the medication was not available for
administration to Resident 51. Resident 51 was transferred to the acute care hospital. These failures had
the potential for Resident 51 to not receive the necessary care and services to maintain the highest
physical well-being.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications revised 4/2019
showed the medications were administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required
time frame. Review of the facility's P&P titled Ordering and Receiving Medications from Alliance Pharmacy,
Inc dated 1/2025 showed new medications, except for emergency or stat medications, were ordered as
follows:1. If needed before the next regular delivery, the facility shall phone the medication order to the
pharmacy immediately upon receipt; to inform the pharmacy of the need for prompt delivery and request
the delivery within four hours. Closed medical record review for Resident 51 was initiated on 12/11/25.
Resident 51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE], and discharged on 10/6/25.
Resident 51 had the diagnosis of pneumonia (a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading
to inflamed air sacs (alveoli) that fill with fluid or pus, causing cough, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing)
and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a critical condition where the lungs can't get enough oxygen into
the blood). Review of Resident 51's Admit/Readmit Screener dated 10/5/25, showed the licensed nurse's
documentation Resident 51 was admitted to the facility from the acute care hospital at 1825 hours and
Resident 51 was on continuous oxygen via the nasal canula. Review of Resident 51's Order Summary
Report showed a physician's order dated 10/5/25, to administer budesonide inhalation 0.5 mg/2 ml, give
two milliliters inhalation orally via the nebulizer (a medical device that turns liquid medicine into a fine,
inhalable mist, delivering it directly to the lungs) every 12 hours for respiratory failure. Review of Resident
51's MAR for October 2025 showed on 10/5/25 at 2100 hours, the licensed nurse documented 9. Further
review of the MAR showed 9= Other/see progress notes. Review of Resident 51's Progress Notes showed
the following licensed nurses' entries:- dated on 10/5/25 at 2028 hours, for the administration of the
budesonide inhalation suspension 0.5 mg/2 ml, the licensed nursed documented awaiting delivery from
pharmacy.- dated on 10/6/25 at 0652 hours, the licensed nurse documented Resident 51 was saturating at
92% with 4 liters per minute via the nasal canula (a flexible tube to deliver oxygen into the nose). The
resident stated she was feeling anxious which was causing her to hyperventilate. The resident was
requesting for something for her anxiety. The physician was made aware of the resident and family
member's request. - dated 10/6/25 at 1024 hours, the licensed nurse documented Resident 51 was noted
with respiratory distress and sent to the hospital via 911 emergency department at approximately 0900
hours. Resident 51 was noted with shortness of breath and crackles upon auscultation. Further review of
Resident 51's Progress Notes failed to show the documentation the budesonide medication was
administered to Resident 51 on 10/5/25 and failed to show the documentation the physician was informed
of the missed dose. On 12/11/25 at 1025 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for
Resident 51 was conducted with the ADON. The ADON stated for the newly admitted residents, the routine

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the
treatment was provided as per the physician's order to prevent a decline in ROM (range of motion)
functions for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 41) reviewed for range of motion. * The facility
failed to follow a physician's order to apply the PRAFO boot (a specialized medical brace that stabilizes the
ankle and foot, primarily to prevent and treat heel skin breakdown (ulcers) by keeping the heel elevated and
offloaded, while also managing conditions like foot drop, contractures, and neurological deficits) to Resident
41's left foot when in bed. This failure had the potential for Resident 41 to sustain a decline in ROM
functions.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Restorative Nursing Services revised 7/2027 showed
restorative goals and objectives are individualized and resident-centered, and are outlined in the resident's
plan of care. On 12/8/25 at 0853 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 41 was observed in
bed and the hand splints and PRAFO brace were observed on top of the bedside drawer. Medical record
review for Resident 41 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 41 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE]. Review of the facility document showed a physician's order dated 6/22/22, for the
RNA to apply the left PRAFO boot when in bed for positioning and to prevent contractures. Review of
Resident 41's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 12/31/22, for the RNA to apply the
left-hand splint daily for four hours as tolerated. Review of Resident 41's plan of care showed a care plan
problem dated 6/22/22, addressing Resident 41's risk for further decline in mobility and contractures. The
interventions included for the RNA to apply the left PRAFO boot when Resident 41 was in bed for
positioning and to prevent contractures, and for the RNA to apply the left-hand splint for four hours daily, as
tolerated. Review of Resident 41's H&P examination dated 7/31/25, showed Resident 41 had the capacity
to understand and make decisions, and had a history of multiple cerebral vascular accidents (stroke) with
left sided hemiparesis (one-sided muscle weakness, affecting the arm, leg, and sometimes the face,
resulting from a central nervous system injury, most commonly a stroke or traumatic brain injury). Review of
Resident 41's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 41 was cognitive intact and Resident 41
had an impairment on one side for the upper and lower extremities functional limitation in range of motion.
On 12/9/25 at 1445 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with Resident 41.
Resident 41 was observed lying in bed. Resident 41 stated his left foot boot was not on and was usually
applied for four hours for the same duration as the left-hand splint. Resident 41's hand splint and PRAFO
boot were observed in the drawer. Review of Resident 41's Restorative Nursing Weekly Summary dated
12/5/25, showed the documentation the splint was applied to Resident 41's left hand and leg for four to six
hours during the AM shift. Under the comment line showed the documentation resident refused left. No
other documentation to show what days during that week Resident 41 refused, and which splint Resident
41 refused to apply. On 12/10/25 at 1417 hours, Resident 41 was observed lying in bed. Resident 41 was
not observed wearing the PRAFO boot on the left foot. On 12/10/25 at 1421 hours, an interview was
conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated the RNA was previously in Resident 41's room and had removed
Resident 41's left foot and arm splints. On 12/10/25 at 1435 hours, an interview and concurrent medical
record review for Resident 41 was conducted with RNA 1. RNA 1 stated Resident 41 had a history of a
stroke and had left-sided weakness. RNA 1 stated she was responsible for applying the hand splint to
Resident 41's left hand and the PRAFO boot to Resident 41's left foot. RNA 1 stated she applied the hand
splint and the PRAFO Resident 41's left hand and left foot for four to six hours daily and

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of one final
sampled resident (Resident 26) reviewed for falls were provided the necessary services after a fall. * The
facility failed to ensure Resident 26's fall risk evaluation was completed accurately after Resident 26 had a
fall on 11/19/25, and failed to monitor Resident 26 for episodes of getting out of bed, as per the care plan.
These failures had the potential risk of inaccurate fall risk score, the failure to implement the appropriate fall
risk interventions, and risk of injury for Resident 26.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled FallsClinical Protocol revised 3/2018 showed based on the preceding assessment, the staff and physician will
identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls and to address the risks of clinically
significant consequences of falling. The staff and physician will monitor and document the individual's
response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the consequences of falling. Medical record review
for Resident 26 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the
diagnosis of history of falling. Review of Resident 26's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated
8/26/23, addressing Resident 26's risk for fall and injury. The care plan showed the documentation, on
9/25/24 Resident 26 was found sitting on the floor, on 10/21/24 Resident 26 was found sitting on the floor
with episodes of trying to reach for personal items in the dresser without asking for assistance. The
interventions showed to monitor Resident 26 for episodes of trying to get out of the bed unassisted. Review

wheelchair. Resident stated he slid off the wheelchair.- dated 6/9/25, Resident 26 was seen sitting on the
floor and the call light was within reach and was not activated.- dated 11/19/25, the charge nurse entered
the room to see Resident 26 sitting on the floor with the wheelchair behind him. Review of the evaluation
showed Resident 26's most recent vital signs and pain assessment were not entered on the evaluation and
the evaluation was not signed by the licensed nurse. Review of Resident 26's Order Summary Report
showed a physician's order dated 8/30/25, to administer mirtazapine (antidepressant) 7.5 mg one tablet by
mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by poor meal intake less than 50% of meals. Review of
Resident 26's H&P examination dated 9/20/25, showed Resident 26 had the capacity to understand and
make decisions. Review of Resident 26's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 26 was
cognitively intact and required partial/moderate assistance where the helper did less than half the effort for
the following mobility: sit to lying on the side of the bed, sit to standing, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer.
Review of Resident 26's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 11/19/25, showed the licensed nurse's documentation
Resident 26 had no falls in the past three months (however, Resident 26 had a fall on 11/19/25) and
Resident 26 was not administered any of the listed medications (or medication classes) currently or within
the last seven days (however, Resident 26 was taking the antidepressant psychotropic medication
routinely). Further review of Resident 26's medical records failed to show the documentation of the
monitoring of Resident 26 for trying to get out of the bed unassisted. On 12/9/25 at 1408 hours, an
interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 26 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated a
fall risk evaluation was done after a resident had a fall to evaluate for any recent changes in condition, any
changes in medication, or continence level, and to determine if there was a change in the fall risk score.
LVN 1 stated the fall interventions implemented would be initiated depending on the fall risk score. LVN 1
stated Resident 26 was alert and had incidences where he attempted to transfer out of the bed or the chair

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the appropriate pain
management for two of two final sampled residents (Residents 5 and 10) reviewed for pain management. *
The facility failed to ensure Resident 5 received the appropriate intervention for pain, when a pain level of 5
(on the pain scale of 0 to 10 with 0 = no pain and 10 = worst) was reported and stronger pain medication
meant for severe pain level of 7-10 was administered to the resident. * The facility failed to ensure the NPI
(nonpharmacological intervention) was provided and documented prior to Resident 10 receiving a pain
medication. These failures had the potential to put Residents 5 and 10 at risk for ineffective pain
management and adverse effects related to the use of unnecessary pain medications. Findings: Review of
the facility's P&P titled Administering Pain Medications revised 4/2025 showed the pain management
program is based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and treatment of pain, based
on the professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the resident's choices related
to pain management. Steps 5 in the procedure is evaluated and document effectiveness of
non-pharmacological interventions (e.g. repositioning, warm or cold compress, etc.). 1. Medical record
review for Resident 5 was initiated on 12/11/25. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report showed an order dated 11/10/25, to
administer morphine sulfate (narcotic pain medication) solution 20 mg/ml, give 0.5 ml by mouth every two
hours a needed for severe pain for pain level of 7-10. Review of Resident 5's H&P examination dated
11/11/25, showed Resident 5 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of
Resident 5's MAR for December 2025 showed on 12/9/25 at 0924 hours, Resident 5 was administered
morphine sulfate 0.5 ml by mouth for a pain level of 5. On 12/11/25 at 1018 hours, an interview and
concurrent medical record review for Resident 5 was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 stated for the residents
who reported pain, the licensed nurse would assess the resident pain level prior to the administration of the
pain medications. LVN 3 further stated, then the pain medication would be administered as per the
physician's order and within the ordered parameters. LVN 3 stated for the pain level of 5, the licensed nurse
should not have given morphine sulfate medication because the pain parameter for the morphine
medication was for pain level of 7-10. LVN 3 reviewed Resident 5's medical record and verified the above
findings. On 12/11/25 at 1537 hours, an interview was conducted with the ADON. The ADON stated she
expected the licensed nurses to accurately document the resident's pain level and give pain medication as
the physician ordered. The ADON was informed and acknowledged above findings. 2. Medical record
review for Resident 10 was initiated on 12/10/25. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 3/25/25, showed Resident 10 did
not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 10's Order Summary Report
showed an order dated 7/16/25, to administer acetaminophen (pain medication) 50 mg oral tablet, give two
tablets by mouth every six eight hours for left knee pain. Review of Resident 10's MAR for December 2025
failed to show documented evidence NPI were provided to the resident prior to giving the acetaminophen
medication. On 12/10/25 at 1457 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 10
was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated prior to the administration of the pain medication, the licensed
nurse was expected to assess the resident's level of pain, implement and document the NPI implemented.
LVN 1 reviewed Resident 10's MAR and stated she had provided NPI to the resident, but did not document

Based on interview, facility P&P review, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the
licensed nurses had specific competencies and skill sets needed to care for the residents. * The facility
failed to conduct the staff competency check for the use of PureWick external catheter (a non-invasive
device for managing urinary incontinence). This failure placed the residents at risk for unsafe practices and
adverse outcomes. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing
dated 10/24/24, showed Competency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and
other characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully.
Licensed staff must demonstrate the skills and techniques necessary to care for resident needs including,
but not limited to the following areas: nursing skills consistent with scope of practice. Review of the facility's
P&P titled PUREWICK dated 2/2024 showed the licensed nurse will assess skin for compromise and
perform perineal care prior to placement of a new PureWick Female External Catheter. Review of the
facility's Inservice Attendance sheets dated 11/22, 11/24, and 11/26/24, showed in-services were provided
to 13 licensed nurses (RNs and LVNs) about PUREWICK. The in-service showed topics of Setting up the
PureWick System, Placing the PureWick Female External Catheter, Removing the PureWick Female
External Catheter, Cleaning the Collection Canister, Cleaning the Collector and Pump Tubing, and Tips and
Troubleshooting. Review of the facility's form titled 2025 Skills Competency Test Checklist showed
PureWick Demo cleaning demo with sections for completion date and instructor's signature. Review of LVN
6's 2025 Skills Competency Test Checklist dated 8/19/25, showed LVN 6 completed the PureWick Demo
cleaning demo on 8/19/25. Review of the facility's in-service dated 9/12/25, showed an in-service was
provided by the IP to 13 CNAs about PureWick System Cleaning. On 12/11/25 at 0743 hours, an interview
and concurrent facility document review was conducted with LVN 6. LVN 6 verified Resident 36 had a
PureWick external catheter for incontinence care. When asked if he received training regarding the use of
PureWick external catheter, LVN 6 stated he received the training from the IP when Resident 36 was
admitted to the facility. The training included sanitizing and cleaning, and the application of the PureWick
external catheter. Review of the in-services for 11/2024 did not show LVN 6 attended the in-service about
Pure Wick. LVN 6 stated the IP came in one night to do the in-service to the night shift and he signed the
attendance sheet. On 12/11/25 at 0820 hours, the DON provided an in-service sign-in sheet dated 9/9/25,
titled PureWick System Cleaning, and LVN 6's name was noted on the attendance sheet. However, there
was no information regarding the application of the PureWick external catheter. LVN 6 stated the IP showed
him how to apply. On 12/11/25 at 0841 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was
conducted with the IP. The IP provided LVN 6's Annual Competency Checklist dated 8/19/25. The
competency checklist showed the PureWick demo cleaning was completed on 8/19/25. The IP stated LVN 6
watched the video in the DSD office. When asked how the facility verified the staff's competency, the IP
stated she did not assess for the staff's competency on the day LVN 6 was signed off as completed on
8/19/25. The IP verified LVN 6 only watched the video about PureWick, but the observation of LVN 6's
performance about the application of PureWick external catheter was done on a different day. However, the
IP verified she did not have a record of when she conducted the observation to assess for staff's
competency. On 12/11/25 at 1550 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator, DON, and
ADON. The Administrator, DON, and ADON were informed of the findings and acknowledged the findings.

behavioral health needs of residents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the NPI
(nonpharmacological intervention) was implemented for three of five final sampled residents (Residents 7,
10, and 36) reviewed for unnecessary medications. * The facility failed to ensure the licensed nurses
implemented the NPI and documented its effectiveness for Resident 7's observed behaviors related to the
use of the divalproex (anticonvulsant medication) and escitalopram (antidepressant) medications. * The
facility failed to show documentation for NPI for Resident 10's use of the Depakote (medication for mood
stabilizer), quetiapine (medication to control aggressive behavior), bupropion (antidepressant medication),
and buspirone (antianxiety medication). * The facility failed to ensure the licensed nurses implemented the
NPI for Resident 36 who was receiving the aripiprazole (antipsychotic medication) and sertraline
(antidepressant medication.) These failures had the potential to place Residents 7, 10, and 36 at risk for
overuse of the medications and increased risk of experiencing adverse effects.Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use revised 2/2025 showed the psychotropic
medication management is an interdisciplinary process that involves the resident, family, and/or the
representative and includes:
a. determining adequate indications for use;
b. establishing appropriate dose (including duplicate therapy) and duration;
c. adequate monitoring for efficacy and adverse consequences;
d. determining appropriateness of gradual dose reduction; and
e. preventing, identifying, and responding to adverse consequences.
Behavioral and other nonpharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize or
eradicate the need for medication, permit the lowest possible dose if indicated, and support efforts at
gradual dose reduction. The residents on the psychotropic medication receive gradual dose reductions
(coupled with non-pharmacological interventions), unless clinically contraindicated, to determine whether
the continued use of the medication is benefiting the resident, to find an optimal dose, or in an effort to
discontinue the medication.
1. Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 7 had diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia with
other behavioral disturbance, psychosis, depression, and anxiety disorder.
Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 8/22/25, showed Resident 7 had no capacity to understand
and make decisions.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide the pharmacy services
as per the facility P&P for one of ten residents (Resident 43) reviewed for pharmacy services. * The facility
failed to ensure Resident 43's new order for levetiracetam (antiseizure medication) oral solution was
obtained from the pharmacy in a timely manner. (The pharmacy was notified at approximately 0800 hours
and the medication was obtained at approximately 1430 hours). * The facility failed to transcribe Resident
43's physician's order for levetiracetam accurately. The physician ordered levetiracetam 1000 mg oral
solution medication to be administered twice daily, however, the LVN transcribed the order in error,
indicating the levetiracetam 1000 mg oral solution medication was to be administered once daily. These
failures posed the risk for inhibiting the therapeutic effects of the medication and had the potential to
negatively affect the resident's health. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Ordering and Receiving
Medications dated 1/2025 showed the medications shall be ordered and received from the pharmacy on a
timely basis. If needed before the next regular delivery, the facility shall phone the medication order to the
pharmacy immediately upon receipt. Inform the pharmacy of the need for prompt delivery and request
delivery within four hours. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Orders dated 11/2014 showed the
purpose of this procedure is to establish uniform guidelines in the receiving and recording of medication
orders. When recording orders for medication, specify the type, route, dosage, frequency, and strength of
the medication ordered. 1. Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 43 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 43's H&P dated 11/12/25, showed Resident 43 had a
diagnosis of seizure disorder. a. Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report showed a physician's
order dated 11/11/25, for levetiracetam 1000 mg tablet orally two times a day for seizures. Review of
Resident 43's Administration Note dated 12/10/25 at 0915 hours, showed documentation LVN 5 was
waiting for delivery of the levetiracetam 1000 mg oral solution from the pharmacy, and the medication not
administered. On 12/10/25 at 1443 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was
conducted with LVN 5. LVN 5 stated Resident 43 refused her levetiracetam 1000 mg oral tablet this
morning, scheduled at 0900 hours. LVN 5 stated Resident 43 would spit out the levetiracetam 1000 mg
tablet. LVN 5 stated Resident 43's physician was notified of the refusal of the medication this morning. LVN
5 stated Resident 43's physician changed Resident 43's levetiracetam medication from a tablet to a liquid
solution. LVN 5 stated the pharmacy was notified of the new order (at approximately 0800 hours) however,
the pharmacy did not deliver the levetiracetam liquid solution until 1430 hours. b. On 12/10/25 at 1455
hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 stated she
transcribed Resident 43's physician's order, which showed to change Resident 43's levetiracetam 1000 mg
from tablet to liquid form. Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order
dated 12/10/25, for levetiracetam 1000 mg oral solution to be administered daily. However, the order failed
to show to administer Resident 43's levetiracetam 1000 mg oral solution in the evening, at 1700 hours. LVN
3 was asked if Resident 43's physician changed the frequency of Resident 43's levetiracetam 1000 mg
from twice a day (0900 hours and 1700 hours) to once a day (0900 hours). LVN 3 then reviewed the order
she obtained from Resident 43's physician. LVN 3 stated she made an error when she transcribed the
order. LVN 3 stated Resident 43's physician ordered levetiracetam 1000 mg oral solution to be administered
twice a day at 0900 hours and 1700 hours. LVN 3 stated she would correct her transcription error. Cross

free of an accumulation of dust, dirt, food residue, and other debris. According to the 2022 FDA Food Code
Section 4-602.13, Non-Contact Surfaces, the presence of food debris or dirt on nonfood contact surfaces
may provide a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms which employees may inadvertently
transfer to food. If these areas are not kept clean, they may also provide harborage for insect, rodents, and
other pests. Review of the facility's P&P titled Stove Hood Policy (undated) showed proper stove hood
maintenance reduces fire hazards, prevents grease build up and supports infection control in food service
areas. The stove hoods must be kept free of grease, dust, and debris at all times. Review of the facility's
P&P titled Refrigerator Cleaning P&P (undated) showed to maintain safe, sanitary conditions in the
refrigerators and walk- ins, prevent microbial growth and to avoid cross contamination. During the initial
kitchen tour on 12/8/25 at 0755 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with the
DSS. The following was observed:- the stove hood was wiped with a paper towel and observed with grey
sticky residue on the paper towel.- the fans inside of Refrigerator A were observed with greyish black fuzzy
substance. A paper towel was used to wipe the fam and was observed with greyish black substance. The
fans were observed directly above multiple pitchers of juices with the spout uncovered. The DSS verified
the above findings. 2. According to the 2022 FDA Food Code Section 4-202.11, multi-use food contact
surfaces shall be smooth; free of breaks, open seams, cracks, chips, inclusions, pits, and similar
imperfections; free of sharp internal angles, corners, and crevices; and finished to have smooth welds and
joints. Review of the facility's P&P titled Cleaning & Sanitation Frequency (undated) showed the equipment
no longer in good repair and not able to be properly cleaned/sanitized, will be replaced as necessary.
During the initial kitchen tour on 12/8/25 at 0755 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was
conducted with the DSS. The can opener blade was observed with the chipped stainless-steel coating,
exposing the blade. The DSS verified the above findings. 3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Labeling and

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to maintain an accurate medical
record for three of 13 final sampled residents (Residents 10, 29, and 43). * The facility failed to ensure the
episodes of crying spells documented on the MAR were accurate for Resident 10. * The facility failed to
ensure the skin assessment was documented accurately to reflect the bruising identified for Resident 29. *
The licensed nurse documented Resident 43 received levetiracetam (antiepileptic mediation) 1000 mg
tablet orally on 12/10/25 at 0900 hours, however, Resident 43 had refused the medication. These failures
had the potential for the residents' care needs not being met as their medical information was
inaccurate.Findings:
1. Medical record review for Resident 43 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 43 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 43's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 11/11/25, for
levetiracetam 1000 mg tablet orally two times a day for seizures.
Review of Resident 43's H&P dated 11/12/25, showed Resident 43 had a diagnosis of seizure disorder.
On 12/10/25 at 1443 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 5.
LVN 5 stated Resident 43 had refused her levetiracetam 1000 mg oral tablet this morning, which was
scheduled at 0900 hours. LVN 5 said Resident 43 would spit out the levetiracetam 1000 mg tablet. LVN 5
stated Resident 43's physician was notified of the refusal this morning and subsequently changed the
levetiracetam 1000 mg from tablet to a liquid form.
However, review of Resident 43's MAR dated 12/2025 showed LVN 5 administered Resident 43's
levetiracetam 1000 mg oral tablet on 12/10/25 at 0900 hours. LVN 5 verified the findings and stated
Resident 43's MAR would be corrected.
2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised 7/2017 showed documentation in
the medical record will be objective (not opiniated or speculative), complete and accurate.
Medical record review for Resident 10 was initiated on 12/11/25. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].
Review of Resident 10's Order Summary showed an order dated 3/24/25, to monitor depression manifested
by crying spells every shift, tally by hashmark every shift for depression.
Review of Resident 10's H&P examination dated 3/25/25, showed Resident 10 had no capacity to
understand and make decisions.
Review of Resident 10's MAR for November 2025 showed on 11/16/25, there were 97 episodes of crying
spells documented during the evening shift.
On 12/11/25 at 0803 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 10 was
conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated the number of crying spells documented for 11/16/25, was an error
because it was only seven episodes. LVN 2 stated the MAR was mistakenly documented as 97 episodes

3. Medical record review for Resident 29 was initiated on 12/8/25. Resident 29 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 29's Admit/Readmit Screener 4.0 dated 11/25/25, showed bruising on the BUE
(bilateral upper extremities).
Review of Resident 29's H&P examination dated 11/26/25, showed the resident was able to make her own
decisions and needs known.
Review of Resident 29's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 11/25/25, skin discoloration LUE (left upper extremity). Observe for signs and symptoms of swelling,
skin breakdown, and bleeding every shift for 30 days;
- dated 11/25/25, skin discoloration RUE (right upper extremity). Observe for signs and symptoms of
swelling, skin breakdown, and bleeding every shift for 30 days;
- dated 11/25/25, aspirin tablet (blood thinner to prevent heart attacks and strokes) 81 mg give one tablet by
mouth one time a day for CVA prophylaxis. Take with food;
- dated 11/25/25, Clopidogrel bisulfate (blood thinner) tablet 75 mg give one tablet by mouth one time a day
for CAD; and
- dated 11/26/25, to monitor for signs and symptoms for adverse bleeding like bruising, bleeding gums,
nose bleed, petechiae, hematuria, melena, heavy bleeding, black tarry stools, coffee ground emesis. If
symptoms occur document and notify MD. If present mark Y, if none mark N, every shift for monitoring.
Review of Resident 29's handwritten skin assessment record showed on 12/2/25, the resident had an old
discoloration on chest and wrist. On 12/3/25, the assessment showed the resident's skin clear. On the
same date, another assessment showed the resident had an old discoloration on the chest and abdominal
area. The skin assessment dated [DATE] was blank, and another assessment for the same date showed
old skin discoloration with no specific area marked on the body diagram. On 12/6/25, the skin assessment
showed old discoloration. The skin assessments dated 12/7/25, showed the resident had clear skin.
Resident 29's medical record failed to show documentation the physician was notified when the
assessments showed clear skin to having bruises identified.
On 12/11/25 at 1425 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 29 was
conducted with the ADON. The ADON verified the findings and stated the resident's physician was not
notified of the bruising because the resident was admitted with the bruising from the acute care hospital
and it was a documentation error from the CNAs.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility
failed to implement their infection control program in accordance with the facility's P&P. * The facility failed to
implement their infection control surveillance program from January 2025 through November 2025. The
facility conducted surveillance of resident infections based on whether the residents were prescribed
antimicrobial medications. The facility failed to determine whether the residents who exhibited signs and
symptoms of infection and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications met the facility's criteria for
infection (utilizing McGeer's Criteria). The facility failed to include these residents in the facility's infection
control surveillance program. This failure posed the risk for not identifying resident infections and controlling
the potential transmission of communicable diseases to other residents, staff, and visitors throughout the
facility. * The facility failed to establish specific testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control
measures, to reduce Legionella risk. This failure posed the risk for Legionella growth in the facility building
water system. Legionella has the potential to cause a serious type of pneumonia called Legionnaires
disease in the vulnerable resident population. * The facility failed to ensure CNA 2 wore the proper PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) when making contact with Resident 7 and repositioning Resident 7's
pillow. Resident 7 was on EBP (Evidence-Based Practice) for her GT (Gastrostomy Tube). *The facility
failed to ensure Resident 29 was offered hand hygiene before eating lunch. These failures had the potential
for the spread of infection to the residents, staff, and visitors in the facility.Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Surveillance for Infections revised 9/2017 showed the IP will conduct
ongoing surveillance for HAIs (Healthcare-Associated Infections) and other epidemiologically significant
infections that have substantial impact on potential resident outcomes and that may require
transmission-based precautions and other preventative interventions. The purpose of the surveillance of
infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of epidemiologically significant organisms and
HAIs, to guide appropriate interventions, and to prevent future infections. Infections that will be included in
routine surveillance include those with evidence of transmissibility in a healthcare environment and
pathogens associated with serious outbreaks
Nursing staff will monitor residents for signs and symptoms that may suggest infection, according to current
criteria and definitions of infections, and will document and report suspected infections to the charge nurse
as soon as possible. The nurse in charge will notify the attending physician and the IP of suspected
infections. The IP is responsible for gathering and interpreting surveillance data. Collect information monthly
from individual resident infection reports and enter line listing of infections by resident for the entire month.
Analyze the data to identify trends. Consider how increases or decreases might relate to recent process
changes, events, or activities in the facility.
On 12/8/25 at 0904 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the IP.
The IP was asked to explain the facility's resident infection surveillance program. The IP stated she was
responsible for the surveillance of resident infections in the facility. The IP stated the purpose of infection
surveillance was to identify individual resident infections and trends of epidemiologically significant
organisms and HAIs, to guide appropriate facility interventions, and to prevent future infections.
The IP stated when a resident exhibited signs and/or symptoms of an infection, the nurse would perform a
change of condition assessment. The nurse would then contact the resident's physician and inform the
physician of the signs and/or symptoms of infection the resident exhibited. The IP stated if

The IP was asked when a resident at the facility exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infection and was not
prescribed antimicrobial medications, if the facility initiated the McGeer's criteria form for these residents
and included these residents in the facility's infection surveillance program (from January 2025 to
November 2025). The IP stated the facility did not initiate the McGeer's criteria form for the residents who
exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infection and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications. The IP
stated only a change of condition assessment was performed for these residents.
The IP was asked how many residents in the facility had infections (met McGeer's criteria) and were not
prescribed antimicrobial medications (from January 2025 through November 2025). The IP stated she was
uncertain as the facility did not initiate the McGeer's criteria form for residents who exhibited signs and/or
symptoms of infections and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications.

of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) industry standards and the CDC toolkit; and
* Specifies testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures and documents the results of
testing and corrective actions when control limits are not maintained.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Legionella Water Management Program revised 7/2017 showed the
facility is committed to the prevention, detection, and control of water-borne contaminants, including
Legionella. As part of the infection prevention and control program, our facility has a water management
program, which is overseen by the water management team. The purposes of the water management
program are to identify areas in the water system where Legionella bacteria can grow and spread, and to
reduce the risk of Legionnaire's disease. The water management program used by our facility is based on
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating
and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recommendations for developing a Legionella water management
program. The water management program includes the following elements: Specific measures used to
control the introduction and/or spread of legionella (e.g., temperature, disinfectants). The control limits or
parameters that are acceptable and that are monitored. A diagram of where control measures are applied.
A system to monitor control limits and the effectiveness of control measures. A plan for when control limits
are not met and/or control measures are not effective, and documentation of the program.
On 12/11/25 at 1030 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
Administrator and Maintenance Technician. Review of the facility's Water Management Program dated
10/2022 and the facility's Procedures for Monitoring and Inspection for possible Legionella Disease
Bacteria Growth dated 5/19/23, failed to show specific testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control
measures to reduce Legionella risk. The Administrator and Maintenance Technician verified the facility
failed to establish specific testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures, to reduce
Legionella risk.
3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions revised 12/2024, showed EBPs refer to
infection prevention and control interventions designed to reduce the transmission of MDROs during high
contact resident care activities. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use in addition to standard
precautions during high contact resident care activates when contact precautions do not otherwise apply.
Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing the high contact resident care activities (as opposed to
before entering the room). Examples of high contact resident care activities requiring the use of the gown
and gloves for EBPs include:
a. dressing;
b. bathing/showering;
c. providing hygiene or grooming;

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the
antibiotic stewardship program in accordance with their P&P. * The facility initiated McGeer's criteria after
the residents' physician prescribed antibiotics rather than attempting to make the determination whether a
resident who exhibited signs and symptoms of infection, had met McGeer's criteria before contacting the
physician. This failure posed the risk for the continued use of unnecessary antibiotics, potentially resulting
in adverse reactions associated with antibiotics, and the development of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria.Findings: Antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed medications in nursing homes.
According to the CDC, an estimated 70% of nursing home residents receive one or more courses of
antibiotics during a year. Studies have shown that 40% to 75% of the antibiotics prescribed in nursing
homes may be unnecessary or inappropriate. Frail and older adults are at significant risk of harm from
antibiotic overuse including increased adverse drug events, increased drug interactions and infection with
antibiotic-resistant organisms. The WHO cites antibiotic resistance as one of the three biggest threats to
human health. Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship - Orders for Antibiotics revised
12/2016 showed the antibiotics will be prescribed and administered to residents under the guidance of the
facility's antibiotic stewardship program and in conjunction with the facility's general policy for medication
utilization and prescribing. Prior to calling a physician/prescriber to communicate a suspected infection, the
nurse will obtain and have the following information available: Clinical signs and symptoms of suspected
infection (based on approved definitions of infection). Appropriate indications for use of antibiotics include:
criteria met for clinical definition of active infection. Review of the facility's monthly Infection Prevention and
Control Surveillance Logs from January 2025 through November 2025 showed the following infection
surveillance data for HAIs, CAIs, and residents who did not meet McGeer's Criteria (DNMC): - 1/2025, HAI
- 10, CAI - 22, and DNMC - 1- 2/2025, HAI - 7, CAI - 11, and DNMC - 1- 3/2025, HAI - 4, CAI - 13, and
DNMC - 3- 4/2025, HAI - 7, CAI - 14, and DNMC - 0- 5/2025, HAI - 6, CAI - 12, and DNMC - 2- 6/2025, HAI
- 6, CAI - 9, and DNMC - 5- 7/2025, HAI - 6, CAI - 9, and DNMC - 3- 8/2025, HAI - 8, CAI - 13, and DNMC 3- 9/2025, HAI - 4, CAI - 6, and DNMC - 2- 10/2025, HAI -2, CAI - 9, and DNMC - 1- 11/2025, HAI - 2, CAI 15, and DNMC - 2 On 12/8/25 at 0904 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was
conducted with the IP. The IP was asked to explain the facility's Antibiotic Stewardship program (from
January 2025 through November 2025) specific to the use of McGeer's Criteria and the physician
prescription of antibiotics. The IP stated when a resident exhibited signs and/or symptoms of an infection
the licensed nurse would conduct a change of condition assessment and notify the physician of the signs
and/or symptoms of infection the resident exhibited. The IP stated if the physician then prescribed
antibiotics, the licensed nurse who received the antibiotic order would initiate the facility's McGeer's criteria
form. The IP stated the facility utilized the McGeer's criteria to determine if a resident had an infection. The
IP was asked in accordance with the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship - Orders for Antibiotics
revised 12/2016 if a resident exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infection (in addition to a change of
condition assessment) should the nurse also initiate the McGeer's criteria form to determine whether the
resident had a true infection. Which would allow the licensed nurse to convey to the physician/prescriber the
resident may not have met the criteria for a true infection, thus providing the physician/prescriber the
opportunity not to prescribe antibiotics, unnecessarily for a resident who did not meet the facility's criteria
for infection. The IP stated the facility did not initiate the McGeer's criteria form for the residents who
exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infection until after the resident's physician prescribed antibiotics (from
