**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, and interview, the facility failed to provide an equal access to nutritional
services for one nonsampled resident (Resident 25). This failure posed the risk of the resident's rights not
being honored.
Findings:
On 11/12/24, medical record review for Resident 25 was initiated. Resident 25 was admitted on [DATE].
Resident 25's admitting diagnoses included dementia and chronic kidney disease.

staff on multiple times about getting her lunch meal tray. All residents in the dining room were observed
being served their meals at 1215 hours. Resident 25 was observed waiting 40 minutes for her lunch meal
tray to be delivered and served while other residents were observed already eating their meals.
Review of a posted sign for meal times showed the lunch was to be served to all residents at 1215 hours.
Review of the facility's PCC list of diets for the residents failed to show Resident 25's name on the list.
On 11/12/24 at 1240 hours, during an interview, when asked about Resident 25's lunch meal tray, the staff
including the DON were unable to explain.

11/13/24, at 1055 hours, during a resident council meeting, Resident 436 verbalized she did not want staff
putting a diaper on her.
On 11/13/24 at 1525 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Resident 436
inside her room. Resident 436 stated she was allergic to all the plastic on the diaper, was wearing diapers
now, and did not want to wear a diaper.
On 11/14/24, medical record review for Resident 436 was initiated. Review of Resident 436's admission
baseline screening showed Resident 436 was continent for her bladder needs.
On 11/15/24 at 0741 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 8. When asked about Resident 436's
toileting needs, CNA 8 stated Resident 436 was able to verbalize when she needed to use the toilet. CNA 8
stated he also checked Resident 436's disposable brief every hour. CNA 8 further stated Resident 436 did
not verbalize any concerns.
On 11/15/24 at 1522 hours, a concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON stated Resident 436 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], for rehabilitation post status
right hip fracture and with MASD to the sacrococcyx area. The DON stated even if a resident wore diapers,
they could still be taken to the toilet. The DON verified a care plan problem to address Resident 436's
specific toileting needs was not included in Resident 436's baseline care plan.
Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to provide
the necessary care and services for one of 14 final sampled residents (Resident 285) and one nonsampled
resident (Resident 436) to maintain or restore their bladder functions.
* The facility failed to provide a bladder retraining for Resident 285 as identified in the care plan and
facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 436 was placed on toileting program and a care plan to address
Resident 436's toileting needs was developed.
These failures posed the risk for these residents to lose their bladder control.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Bowel and Bladder Program dated 6/2021 showed on admission of the
resident, the admission nurse will initiate an elimination schedule every two hours regardless if the resident
is continent or incontinent. The admission Nurse will communicate to the CNAs and licensed nurse. The
CNAs will document the result of their visit with the resident.

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 two of two
final sampled residents (Residents 132 and 282) reviewed for respiratory care were provided with the
appropriate respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Residents 132 and 282's physician's order for administration of oxygen was
clarified with the physician for continuous or PRN use. This failure had the potential to effect the respiratory
health and well-being of the residents.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Administration revised October 2010 showed to verify there is a
physician's order for this procedure and review the physician's order or facility protocol for the oxygen
administration.
1. On 11/13/24 at 1441 hours, Resident 132 was observed in bed with oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters
per minute.
Medical record review for Resident 132 was initiated on 11/13/24. Resident 132 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of Resident 132's Order Summary Report dated 11/13/24, showed a physician's order dated
10/29/24, to administer oxygen at 2 liters per nasal cannula every shift. However, further review of the
physician's order failed to show if the oxygen was to be administered continuously or as necessary.
On 11/15/24 at 0813 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 132 was
conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator verified Resident 132's use of the oxygen
therapy. The MDS Coordinator verified the physician's order for the use of oxygen for Resident 132 was not
clear if it was to be administered continously or as needed.
2. On 11/12/24 at 0832 hours, Resident 282 was observed in bed with oxygen at 2 liters per minute via
nasal cannula.
Medical record review for Resident 282 was initiated on 11/14/24. Resident 282 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
On 11/14/24 at 0828 hours, Resident 282 was observed in bed receiving oxygen at 3 liters per minute via
nasal cannula.
Review of Resident 282's Order Summary Report dated 11/13/24, showed a physician's order dated
11/8/24, to administer oxygen at 3 liters per nasal cannula every shift. Further review of the physician's
order for oxygen did not show if the oxygen was to be administered continuously.
On 11/15/24 at 0757 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 282 was
conducted with MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator verified Resident 282's use of oxygen. The MDS

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
ensure the pharmaceutical services were provided when:
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure all controlled medications were accurately accounted for and documented for
one of 14 final sampled residents (Resident 432).
* The medications received from pharmacy were accounted and signed for by the licensed staff who
received the medications at the facility.
* The facility failed to ensure the proper disposal of medications was followed.
These failures posed the risk of drug diversion.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Storage in the Facility ID3: Controlled Medication Storage
dated 8/2014 showed the medications included in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classification
as controlled substances are subject to special handing, storage, disposal and recordkeeping in the facility
in accordance with federal, state and other applicable laws and regulations.
Further review of the facility's P&P showed at each shift change, a physical inventory of all controlled
medications, including the emergency supply is conducted by two licensed nurses and is documented on
the controlled medication accountability record.
In addition, the P&P showed any discrepancy in controlled substance medication counts is reported to the
Director of Nursing immediately. The Director of Nursing or designee investigates and makes every
reasonable effort to reconcile all reported discrepancies. The Director of Nursing documents irreconcilable
discrepancies in a report to the Administrator.
On 11/14/24 at 0837 hours, Medication Room A inspection and concurrent interview was conducted with
the DON.
On 11/14/24 at 0926 hours, during Medication Room A inspection, a medication bottle with Resident 432's
name was observed inside the locked cabinet in the medication room which held all the narcotics for
disposal. The medication container was labeled showing buprenorphine-naloxone (medication to treat
narcotic dependence) 8-2 mg place one tablet sublingual (under the tongue) three times a day. The form
titled Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record for Resident 432 showed the bottle of medication was from
family supply. The controlled sheet showed there were 59 tablets to begin with, and the remaining count
was a total of 22 tablets. The form showed a date written on the middle of the page dated 11/12/24, with
two licensed nurses' signatures. When the DON counted the tablets from the medication bottle, the DON
counted 23 tablets which did not tally with the number of tablets remaining on the controlled sheet. The
DON stated she was one of the licensed nurses who counted the medications. The DON verified the total
tablets left in the bottle did not match the controlled count sheet. When asked what did the facility do when
the discrepancy with the count was identified, the DON did not provide a response.

On 11/15/24 at 1326 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with the DON. When asked regarding the
facility's process when a discrepancy was identified with the narcotic count, the DON stated the facility
needed to investigate and check the MAR and administration dates and times. The DON further stated she
called the facility's pharmacy consultant; however, they did not initiate an investigation when the
discrepancy was identified on 11/12/24.
Residents Affected - Few
2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Ordering and Receiving From Pharmacy revised 1/2022
showed when receiving the medications from the pharmacy, a licensed nurse:
a. Receives the medications delivered to the facility and documents that the delivery was received and
secure on the medication delivery receipts.
b. Verifies the medications received and directions for use with the medication order form and/or physician's
orders.
On 11/14/24 at 0837 hours, a Medication Room A inspection and concurrent interview was conducted with
the DON. During the inspection, the following was observed:
- a pharmacy delivery slip dated 11/13/24, for Emergency PO E-kit without a signature from the receiving
nurse.
- a pharmacy delivery slip dated 11/13/34, for 30 tablets of hydrocodone/APAP 5-325 mg (controlled pain
medication) 30 tablets for Resident 436 without a signature from the receiving nurse.
- a pharmacy delivery slip dated 11/13/24, for 30 tablets of oxycodone HCL 5 mg tab (controlled pain
medication) 30 tablets for Resident 282 without a signature from the receiving nurse
- a pharmacy delivery slip dated 11/13/24, for 30 tablets of hydrocodone/APAP 10-325 mg 30 tablets for
Resident 434 without a signature from the receiving nurse.
The DON acknowledged and verified the findings and stated the pharmacy delivery slips should have been
signed by the licensed nurse who received the medications.
3. On 11/14/24 at 0837 hours, a Medication Room A inspection and concurrent interview was conducted
with the DON. During the inspection, a brown box containing multiple bottles with a label showing Ready to
Use Drug Disposal was observed on a wood pallet on the floor.
Review of the Drug Disposition Binder inside Medication Room A was reviewed and observed with multiple
pages of drug disposition records. Two pages of Medication Disposition Record/Pass Log were observed
with labels specific to different residents and name of medications for disposal. The forms were signed by
two licensed nurses for drug disposal/waste management; however, there was no documentation when the
drug disposal occurred. The DON acknowledged and verified the findings and stated the forms should have
been dated when the medications were disposed of.

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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the orthostatic blood
pressure monitoring was accurately performed as ordered by the physician related to the use of
antipsychotic medication for one of one final resident (Resident 132) reviewed for antipsychotic
medications. This failure had the potential for the resident to have adverse complications from the
medication and the potential of not providing the correct data to the prescriber to adjust the dose of the
psychotropic medication for the resident.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Measuring Blood Pressure dated 9/2010 showed the orthostatic (postural)
hypotension is defined as a 20 mm/hg (or greater) decline in systolic blood pressure (top number) or a 10
mm/hg (or greater) decline in diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) upon standing. Note the changes in
both systolic and diastolic measurements compare to the reading taken while the resident was in a seated
position.
Medical record review for Resident 132 was initiated on 11/14/24. Resident 132 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Review of the Order Summary Report dated 11/14/24, showed the following physician's orders:
- dated 10/29/24, to administer Abilify (antipsychotic medication) 5 mg two tablets by mouth one time a day
for psychosis manifested by angry outburst.
- dated 10/29/24, to check for orthostatic hypotension by checking the blood pressure in three positions
(lying, sitting, and standing) once a day every Wednesday.
Review of the MAR for November 2024 showed the orthostatic blood pressure (lying, sitting, and standing)
were scheduled to be monitored every Wednesday. However, the blood pressure readings for all three
positions were the same as follows:
- On 11/6/24, the blood pressure readings were 121/63 mm/Hg for the lying position, 121/63 mm/Hg for the
sitting position, and 121/63 mm/Hg for the standing position.
- On 11/13/24, the blood pressure readings were 125/75 mm/Hg for the lying position, 125/75 mm/Hg for
the sitting position, and 125/75 mm/Hg for the standing position.
On 11/14/24 at 1442 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 132 was
conducted with the DON. The DON was informed of the orthostatic blood pressure monitoring for Resident
132. The DON reviewed the medical record and verified the licensed nurses were not monitoring the
orthostatic hypotension accurately because of the same blood pressure readings for all three positions
(lying, sitting, and standing). The DON stated there should be a variation on each position on the reading
results of the orthostatic hypotension blood pressure readings.

3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Departmental (Environmental Services)- Laundry and Linen revised
January 2014 showed the facility will provide a process for a safe and aseptic handling, washing and
storage of linen. Clean linen will remain hygienically clean (free of pathogens in sufficient numbers to cause
human illness), through measures designed to protect it from environmental contamination, such as
covering clean linen carts.
Residents Affected - Few
On 11/14/24 at 1425 hours, an observation of the laundry area and concurrent interview was conducted
with the Maintenance Director. An employee clothing was observed stored in the rack with clean pillows.
The Maintenance Director verified the observation and stated the employee should not have stored
personal clothing in the rack with the clean pillows.
4. Review of the facility's P&P titled Legionella Water Management Program dated 6/12/24, showed the
purpose 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 facility has considered
the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) industry
standard and the CDC (Center and Disease Control) toolkit to evaluate the current facility control measures
and determine awareness protocols. Example of systems: resident bathrooms (faucet- hot and cold
shower), decorative fountains, evaporative cooling water, ice machine water, hot water storage tanks (
domestic and laundry), emergency water storage container, water filters, showerheads and hoses, eye
wash station.
According to the CDC's guidelines for Developing a Water Management Program to Reduce Legionella
Growth & Spread in Buildings dated 6/26/15, control measures and limits should be established for each
control point. You will need to monitor to ensure your control measures are performing as designed. Control
limits, in which a chemical or physical parameter must be maintained, should include a minimum and a
maximum value. Examples of chemical and physical control measures and limits to reduce the risk of
Legionella growth: Water quality should be measured throughout the system to ensure that changes that
may lead to Legionella growth (such as a drop in chlorine levels) are not occurring, Water heaters should
be maintained at appropriate temperatures, Decorative fountains should be kept free of debris and visible
biofilm, Disinfectant and other chemical levels in cooling towers and hot tubs should be continuously
maintained and regularly monitored. Surfaces with any visible biofilm (i.e., slime) should be cleaned. Under
section Your program team should establish procedures to confirm, both initially and on an ongoing basis,
that the water management program is being implemented as designed. This step is called verification. Your
program team should establish procedures to confirm, both initially and on an ongoing basis, that the water
management program effectively controls the hazardous conditions throughout the building water systems.
This step is called validation.
On 11/15/24 at 0847 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director verified the facility did not test for legionella in regular
basis. The Maintenance Director was not able to provide a documentation showing the risk assessment to
identify the areas in the water system where legionella bacetria could grow. The Maintenance Director was
not able to show specific control measures that the facility was using to prevent the growth of legionella
bacteria in the facility.
On 11/15/24 at 0930 hours, an interview was conducted with the DSD/IP. The DSD/IP stated the facility
tested the legionella infection; however, he was not sure how often.

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, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to monitor and address the use
of antibiotics when the resident's condition did not meet McGeer's criteria (a set of specific definitions to
identify true infections in long term nursing facilities) for two residents (one discharged resident, Resident
10; and one nonsampled resident, Resident 7) on the surveillance log. This failure had the potential for
antibiotics to be used when it was not indicated and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship Program dated 6/2021 showed appropriate use of
antibiotic included criteria met for clinical definition of active infection or suspected sepsis and pathogen
susceptibility, based on culture and sensitivity, to antimicrobial (or therapy begun while culture is pending).
The IP will track, collect and review data whether McGeer criteria was met to consider prescribing
antibiotics.
Review of the Survillance Log for October 2024 showed Resident 7 was admitted on [DATE], and onset of
cough showed 10/16/24; and the resident was prescribed antibiotic, Z-pak (azythromiacin). Further review
of the log showed the resident had healthcare associated infection.
Review of the Infection Surveillance data collection form showed the date of admission did not show if the
resident did meet the McGeer criteria.
Review of the Surveillance Log for October 2024 showed Resident 10 received Bactrim DS (double strengt)
antibiotic for recurrent pneumonia. Further review of the surveillance log showed it was ordered for
prophylaxis, recurrent pneumonia.
Review of the Survillance Data Collection form dated 10/5/24, did not show if the resident's infection met
the McGeer criteria. Further review of the records did not show if the infection was a true infection.
On 11/15/24 at 1006 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the
DSD/IP. The DSD/IP verified the above findings. The DSD/IP was asked about the facility's antibiotic
stewardship program. The DSD/IP stated the facility used McGeer's criteria. The DSD/IP stated if a resident
did not meet the criteria for an infection using the McGeer's criteria, the physician would be notified.
On 11/15/24 at 1616 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review for Residents 7 and 10
was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and verified the above findings.

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure the freezer
compartment inside the medication refrigerator inside Medication Room A was free of ice buildup. In
addition, the facility failed to ensure the freezer temperature was monitored and recorded in the
temperature log. These failure had the potential for not maintaining the acceptable temperature for
medication storage in the refrigerator.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the facility's document titled Medication Room, Refrigerator, Temperature Log dated 11/2024
showed to verify and document refrigerator, freezer, and room temperatures twice per day (AM/PM). If any
temperature is outside of the range(s) below, notify the Nurse Leader or Health Care Administrator.
On 11/14/24 at 0837 hours, an inspection of Medication Room A and concurrent interview was conducted
with the DON.
On 11/14/24 at 0956 hours, during Medication Room A inspection, the medication refrigerator was
observed to have ice build up in the freezer compartment. There were ice packs stored in the freezer
compartment and there was no thermometer inside the freezer.
Review of the temperature log for Medication Room A dated 11/2024, failed to show documentation the
freezer temperature was being monitored twice a day as per the facility's P&P. The column for freezer
temperature showed written horizontal lines from 11/1 through 11/14/24.
The DON verified the findings and stated the freezer temperature should have been monitored twice a day
and recorded in the temperature log, and the ice build up in the freezer should have been cleaned.

Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and
mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame.
**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 ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate and complete, and the
measurements were recorded during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with
the use of bed rails for one of 14 final sampled residents (Resident 132). This failure had the potential to
negatively impact the resident resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.
Findings:
According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the
term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the
space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths
and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the
bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot
boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those
who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed
system where there is a potential for entrapment are:
- Zone 1: within the rail;
- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;
- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;
- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;
- Zone 5: between split bed rails;
- Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and
- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Safety dated 12/2007 showed for the purpose of this policy, bed rails
include side rails, safety rails, and grab or assist bars. Regardless of mattress type, width, length, and/or
depth, the bed frame, bed rail, and mattresses will leave no gap wide enough to entrap a resident's head or
body. Any gaps in the bed system are within the safety dimensions established by the FDA. Maintenance
staff routinely inspects all bed and related equipment to identify risks and problems including potential
entrapment risks. The maintenance department provides a copy of inspection to the administrator and
report results to the QAPI committee for appropriate actions. Copies of the inspection results and QAPI
committee recommendations are maintained by the administrator and/or safety committee.
A concurrent observation, medical record review, and facility document review for Residents 132 showed
the resident's bed entrapment assessments were not accurate, completed, or the bed inspection gap
measurements were recorded from the bed to side rail or bed headboard to side rail. The facility failed to
ensure the entrapment zones were measured for the use of the side rails.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 11/13/24 at 1441 hours, and 11/14/24 at 0848 hours, Resident 132 was observed lying in bed with
bilateral grab rails elevated.
Medical record review for Resident 132 was initiated on 11/13/24. Resident 132 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident 132's Bed System Measurement Device test result Worksheet dated 11/3/24, showed
the entrapment zones (1, 2, 3, and 4) for the right side rail were not measured. Further review of the
document did not show if entrapment Zones 6 (Between the end of the rail and the side edge of the
headboard or footboard) and 7 (Between the headboard or footboard and the end of the mattress) were
measured.
On 11/15/24 at 0813 hours, an observation and concurrent interview for Resident 132 was conducted with
the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator verified Resident 132's use of the grab rails. The MDS
Coordinator stated the maintenance staff was responsible for the entrapment assessment and in charge of
the measuring the entrapment zones.
On 11/15/24 at 0834 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review for Resident 132 was
conducted with the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director stated he used a bed measuring
device to measure the entrapment zones every year and when the resident was admitted to the facility. The
Maintenance Director verified the above findings, and stated he should have measured entrapment zones
(1, 2, 3, and 4,) for the right side rail and Zones 6 and 7 for both side rails were measured. The
Maintenance Director stated he was not aware that Resident 132 had bilateral grab rails, so she did not
measure for the right side rail entrapment assessment for Resident 132. The Maintenance Director verified
he did not measure Zone 6 for the bilateral side rails and Zone 7 of the entrapment assessment for
Resident 132 .
On 11/15/24 at 1616 hours, an interview for Resident 132 was conducted with the DON. The DON was
informed and verified the above findings.
