Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that maintained a resident's dignity and promoted respect by failing to ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) knocked or request permission before entering the room of one of two sampled residents (Resident 37) reviewed under the dignity care area. This deficient practice violated the resident`s rights to be treated with respect and dignity and had the potential to negatively affect the resident's sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Findings: During a review of Resident 37's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 37 on 10/18/2018 and readmitted the resident on 11/7/2023, with diagnoses including tracheostomy (a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck leading directly into the trachea [windpipe]) and dependence on a ventilator (a medical machine that helps a patient breathe or completely takes over their breathing when they cannot do so on their own). During a review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care screening tool) dated 1/12/2026, the MDS indicated the resident usually makes herself understood and usually understood others. The MDS further indicated Resident 37 required supervision (helper provides verbal cues and some touch assistance) with eating, upper body dressing and putting on shoes. The MDS indicated Resident 37 required partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with toileting, bathing, lower body dressing and personal hygiene. During an observation and interview on 2/20/26 at 7:57 p.m., in the hallway near the entrance of Resident 37's room with LVN 1, LVN 1 was observed entering Resident 37`s room through a closed door, without knocking on the door or asking permission to go in. Observed Resident 37 standing on the right side of her bed, nearest to the door. Upon leaving the room, LVN 1 was interviewed and stated that she should have knocked and asked permission prior to entering to ensure Resident 37's privacy and dignity. During an interview on 2/22/26 at 5:26 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development, (DSD), the DSD stated that anyone entering a resident`s room must knock and ask permission prior to entering the resident`s room. The DSD stated residents' privacy and dignity should be respected and promoted at all times. During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Resident Rights last reviewed on 12/3/2025, the P&P indicated that the facility shall treat each resident with consideration, respect and full recognition of dignity and individuality, including privacy in treatment and in care of personal needs. During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Privacy last reviewed on 12/3/2025 the P&P indicated that the facility would ensure that each resident's right to privacy will be respected.

Based on interview and record review, the facility?failed to Inform the resident and/or the responsible party in advance regarding the risks and benefits of administration of a vaccine (a substance that helps the body learn how to fight a specific disease without causing the illness itself) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 3) reviewed during the Infection Control task. This deficient practice?resulted in?Resident?3?receiving the COVID-19 (a vaccine designed to induce immunity against SARS-CoV-2?[the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019]) vaccine?without Resident 3's?responsible?party knowing the risks and benefits of the vaccine prior to administration.? Findings: During a review of Resident?3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident?3?on?7/24/2024?with diagnoses that included?cerebral?palsy (a group of lifelong disorders affecting body movement, muscle tone, and posture caused by abnormal brain development or damage, usually before birth), tracheostomy (a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck leading directly into the windpipe?[the main cartilaginous tube in the body that carries air between the voice box and the lungs])?status and persistent vegetative (a condition where, following severe brain damage, a person is awake but shows no signs of awareness, thought, or purposeful reaction to their environment). During a review of Resident?3's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a?resident assessment tool)?dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident?3's cognition (a mental process?of?acquiring?knowledge and understanding through thought,?experience?and?the senses) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident?3?was dependent on staff with?oral hygiene,?toileting hygiene,?and personal hygiene.? During a review of Resident 3's Immunization History Report,?the Immunization History Report?indicated?that Resident 3?received the COVID-19 vaccine on?10/16/2025.? During an interview on 2/22/2026 at 4:09 p.m. with Family Member 1 (FM 1), FM 1?stated?that Resident 3 received the COVID-19 vaccine?without FM 1's knowledge. FM 1?stated?that FM 1 was informed that Resident 3 received the COVID-19 vaccine only after the vaccine was administered.? During a concurrent interview and record review on?2/22/2026?at?5:14?p.m., with the?Director of Staff Development (DSD) the?DSD?reviewed Resident?3's?progress notes from 8/1/2025-10/31/2025. The DSD?stated?that there?was?no documented evidence that?FM 1?was informed?in advance, nor was there documentation that informed consent was obtained prior to the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. The DSD stated?that?it is FM 1's right as Resident 3's responsible party to be informed in advance of the vaccine administration so they may provide informed consent and have the opportunity to ask questions. During a?review of the facility's policy and procedure?(P&P)?titled, Resident's Rights,?with review date of?12/3/2025, the?P&P?indicated it is the resident's right?to?be fully informed,?to be fully informed by the physician of his or her total health status and to be afforded?the opportunity to participate on an immediate and?ongoing?basis in the total care plan of care including the identification of medical, nursing and?psychosocial?needs and the planning related services.? ? During a review of the facility's P&P?titled, Informed Consent,?with review date of 12/5/2025, the P&P?indicated?the facility will?be responsible for?assuring the resident's record?contains?documentation that the resident has given informed consent prior to the implementation of the proposed treatment procedure.??

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify a resident's responsible party (RP-the person designated for all care decisions?of a resident)? regarding a change of condition for one of five residents (Resident 1) reviewed for unnecessary medications when the facility failed to notify Resident 1's responsible party (RP 1) of a critically high (a test result that is so far outside the normal range that it?indicates?a potentially?life-threatening situation) Depakote (brand name?to valproic acid?- medication used to treat epileptic?seizures? [sudden surge of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, causing?jerking and stiffness])?laboratory value (reference range was 50-100 micrograms per millimeter [mcg/ml-unit of measurement]) greater than 150 mcg/ml on 10/10/2025. This deficient practice?resulted in?RP 1?not being informed?of the critical lab values and?prevented RP 1 from participating?in?Resident 1's?care planning.
Findings:?? During a review of Resident?1's?Admission?Record,?the?admission Record?indicated the facility admitted Resident?1?on?7/17/2024?with diagnoses including?spastic?quadriplegic?cerebral palsy?(the most severe form of cerebral palsy?[brain disorder that appears in infancy and permanently affects body movement], caused by brain damage that results in extreme stiffness?[spasticity]), tracheostomy?(a surgical?procedure that creates an opening in the neck?leading directly into the trachea?[windpipe])?and?epilepsy??? ? During a review of Resident?1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment and care screening tool) dated?1/26/2026,?the MDS indicated the resident?was nonverbal and?rarely/never understood others and rarely/never made themselves understood.?The MDS further?indicated?Resident?1?was completely dependent (helper does all the effort) on facility staff for all activities of daily living?(ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily).?? During a review of Resident 1's?lab results report dated 10/10/2025, the report indicated the lab value for Depakote was > (greater than)150 mcg/ml. The lab results indicated the therapeutic reference range in the blood stream was 50-100 mcg/ml. The lab result was flagged with red colored HH, indicating the report contained critical results. During a review of Resident 1's facility provided audit of the resident's Change of Condition (COC - a record that tracks any new, worsening, or unexpected change in a patient's physical, mental, or functional status) documents, there was no documented COC assessment completed following the lab result of Depakote obtained on 10/10/2025. During a review of Resident 1's progress notes from 10/10/25 to 2/21/2026, there was no documented evidence that RP 1 was notified of Resident 1's critical Depakote lab value results on 10/10/2025. During an attempted telephone interview on 2/21/2026 at 12:33 p.m. with RP 1, the call was not answered and a message was left. An attempt to call RP 1 again on 2/21/2026 at 3:45 p.m. was unanswered and was not returned prior to the survey exit. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/21/2026 at?11:45 a.m. with the Director of?Staff?Development?(DSD), the DSD reviewed Resident 1's COCs, lab results report dated 10/10/2025 and progress notes from 10/10/2025 to 2/21/2026. The DSD stated the lab results report for Depakote indicated a value >150 mcg/ml and was flagged in red as HH, indicating a dangerously and critically high level. The DSD stated that a COC should have been completed and that RP1 should have been notified, as RP 1 is responsible for overseeing the resident's care. During a review of the facility provided?policy and procedure (P&P)?titled, Resident Rights last reviewed on 12/3/2025, the P&P?indicated?the facility must ensure resident rights are not violated.

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 confidential personal information of residents were protected by failing to ensure meal tickets ?containing protected information ([PHI]- any health information that can be used to identify specific individual?which must remain confidential to prevent harmful consequences) were shredded prior to disposing in the trash receptable for two of six residents (Resident 5 and Resident 35) who receive food from the kitchen. This?failure had the potential to violate the residents' rights to privacy and confidentiality of personal and medical records.???Findings:??? a. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident to the facility on 3/17/2022 with diagnoses that included osteochondrodysplasia (a group of rare, typically genetic, disorders that cause abnormal development of bone and cartilage, resulting in stunted growth, two short stature, and skeletal deformities), other congenital (a trait, disorder, or condition that is present at or before birth) deformities of skull, face, and jaw, and hydronephrosis (the swelling of one or both kidneys caused by a buildup of urine that cannot drain properly into the bladder). During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5's cognition (a mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and senses) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 5 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and substantial/maximal assistance with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and required partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene. During an observation on 2/21/2026 at 12:45 p.m., in the Activity/Dining room observed Resident 5 eating lunch. Observed Resident 5's lunch meal tray without a meal ticket. b. During a review of Resident 35's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included congenital malformation (an abnormal, faulty, or imperfectly formed structure of a body part or organ, often present at birth) syndrome, paralysis of vocal cords and larynx (a condition where one or both vocal folds [cords] in the larynx [voice box] cannot move due to damaged nerves), and stenosis of larynx (abnormal narrowing of the voice box which disrupts the flow of air to the lungs and can impair speech and breathing). During a review of Resident 35's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 35's cognition was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 35 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and independent with personal hygiene. During an observation on 2/21/2026 at 12:46 p.m., in the Activity/Dining room observed Resident 35 eating lunch. Observed Resident 35's lunch meal tray without a meal ticket. During a concurrent observation, interview and record review on 2/21/2026 at 12:47 p.m., with Activities Assistant (AA), the AA was asked where Resident 5 and Resident 35's meal tickets were located. Observed the AA reach in the trash receptacle and pulled out two meal tickets. The AA reviewed the meal tickets and stated that the meal tickets contain resident information and that the facility had been discarding the meal tickets in the trash. The AA further stated that she was not aware that meal tickets containing resident information should not be disposed of in the trash receptacle. During an interview on 2/21/2026 at 12:47 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN), LVN 3 stated that licensed nurses dispose of the meal tickets in the trash receptacle.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a bowel (tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion) and bladder (a hollow organ that stores urine) training program (B&B retraining program - aim to establish or regain control over bowel and bladder function) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 5) by failing to ensure Resident 5 was placed on the toilet every two hours per physician's order.? This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 5 to not their highest functional level and not establish or regain control over bowel and bladder function.Findings: During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/17/2022 with diagnoses that included osteochondrodysplasia (a group of rare, typically genetic, disorders that cause abnormal development of bone and cartilage, resulting in stunted growth, short stature, and skeletal deformities), other congenital (a trait, disorder, or condition that is present at or before birth) deformities of skull, face, and jaw, and hydronephrosis (the swelling of one or both kidneys caused by a buildup of urine that cannot drain properly into the bladder). During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5's cognition (a mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and senses) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 5 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and substantial/maximal assistance with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and required partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene. The MDS indicated that Resident 5 is currently in a toileting program (a structured, planned routine designed to help a person [child or adult] gain or regain control over bladder and bowel habits). During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated for bowel and blader training: Place resident on toilet every two (2) hours while awake for 2 minutes. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to document method used result. Order date: 7/7/2025. During a review of Resident 5's care plan (a document that summarizes a resident's needs, goals, and care/treatment) initiated on 9/3/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 5 is participating in a Bowel & Bladder training program. Interventions indicated nursing staff to assist resident to the toilet/commode (a portable, chair-like toilet with a removable basin for people with limited mobility) /toddler potty chair every 2 hours while awake and as needed. Document method used. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/21/2026 at 7:00 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), reviewed Resident 5's medical records, nursing progress notes and CNA tasks for the month of 1/2026 to present. The DSD stated that Resident 5 is in a bowel and bladder training program. The DSD stated that Resident 5 is to be placed on the toilet every two (2) hours to help train Resident 5 to use the toilet. The DSD stated when staff place Resident 5 on the toilet, staff are to document in Resident 5's medical record. The DSD stated that there was no documented evidence that Resident 5 was placed on the toilet on the following days: 1/6/2026; 1/10/2026; 1/18/2026; 1/19/2026; 1/20/2026; 1/25/2026; 2/14/2026; 2/15/2026; 2/19/2026; and 2/21/2026. The DSD continued to state that based on the documentation, staff did not place Resident 5 on the toilet as ordered. The DSD stated staff should have placed Resident 5 on the toilet every two (2) hours and document their efforts. The DSD further stated it is important to toilet train Resident 5 because of his age and for his health and well-being. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Bowel and Bladder Evaluations - Incontinence, reviewed 12/5/2025, the P&P indicated nursing measures will be employed to prevent and reduce incontinence (a problem holding in urine or stool) for each resident.

During a concurrent interview and record review on?2/21/26?at 4:32?p.m.?with?the DSD, the DSD reviewed Resident 32's physician's orders and monthly weights. The DSD stated that the physician's order to obtain weekly weights was not followed because the resident's weight was not taken for the month of June 2025. The DSD stated that accurate weights are extremely important in pediatric residents because the amount of medication and food given to pediatric residents is based on their weight. During a review of the facility`s P&P?titled Monthly Weight Procedure last reviewed on?12/3/2025?the?P&P?indicated records of weight loss/gain must be maintained monthly. ? 2. During a review of Resident 22's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility admitted the resident on 8/20/2019, with diagnoses including anoxic brain damage (occurs when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen for more than roughly four minutes, causing rapid cell death and significant, often permanent, injury) and encounter for attention to gastrostomy. During a review of Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 01/21/2026, the MDS indicated that the resident is comatose (a deep, prolonged state of unconsciousness, unable to wake up or respond to their environment, even to pain or sound, with minimal brain activity). The MDS indicated that Resident 22 was totally dependent on staff for self-care. During a review of Resident 22's Physician Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated an order dated 04/27/2025, to flush 170 milliliters (ml-measurement of volume) of water via GT pump (machine that delivers liquid nutrition, water or medication through a G-tube) six times a day for hydration.

Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5), observed?an empty water bag hanging on a pole connected to a GT feeding pump next to Resident 22`s bedside. LVN 5?stated?that she hung the bag this morning and acknowledged that the sticker attached to the bag, where the date, time, nurse's initials, and the amount of water to be infused were to be documented, was blank. LVN 5?stated?the nurses during the day shift should have documented the amount of water infused via the resident's G-tube in the sticker to indicate the total amount of water administered to the resident from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. LVN 5 stated that it is important to document the amount of fluid on the water bag label to ensure the resident receives the volume of water ordered by the physician. LVN 5 stated that not labeling the bag with the total amount of water administered to the resident had the potential for licensed nurses to be unaware of how much water had already been given. This could result in the resident not receiving the ordered amount of fluid, placing the resident at risk for dehydration (occurs when the body uses or loses more fluids than it takes in) and urinary tract infections (UTI, an infection in any part of the urinary system). During an interview on?02/21/2026 2:24?p.m.?with Registered Nurse 2, reviewed?Resident 22`s care plan (CP) addressing the risk for dehydration?developed on 4/24/2024,?the CP included an intervention to?provide 170?milliliters (ml) of water via GT pump six times a day for hydration. RN 2?stated?that it is important to?document the amount of water administered to the resident to ensure nurses are aware of how much water has been given. RN 2 stated that if the resident does not receive enough water, it may increase the resident's risk for dehydration, which could result in urinary tract infection. During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure (PP) titled Resident Care Planning, last reviewed on 12/3/2025, the PP?indicated?that A comprehensive plan of care will be developed to meet each resident`s medical,?developmental?and psychosocial needs.

Based on interview and record review the facility?failed to ensure the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration, reviewed 12/3/2025, was followed for one of eight residents (Resident 1) observed during medication administration, when Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) failed to check placement of Resident 1's gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through the abdomen, to deliver nutrition and medications directly to the stomach) prior to administration of medications. This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident?1?at increased risk?for?aspiration pneumonia?(a type of lung infection that occurs when food, saliva, or other substances are inhaled into the lungs,?which occurs when medication is accidentally delivered into the lungs instead of the stomach because an improperly placed tube could be in the esophagus or trachea, allowing medication to enter the airway).? Findings: During a review of Resident 1 's admission Record, the?admission Record ?indicated?that the facility?admitted the resident on?7/17/2024?with diagnoses including?epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring seizure) and gastrostomy status (the presence of a surgically created opening (stoma) in the stomach used for long-term enteral nutrition or gastric decompression in patients unable to ingest sufficient nutrients orally)? During a review of Resident?1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] - a resident assessment tool,) dated?1/26/2026, the MDS indicated?the resident had severely impaired?cognition?(the mental action or process of?acquiring?knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses)??and totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living(ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily).?? During a review of Resident 1`s?physician orders, the physician orders indicated an order dated?9/15/2025 for?Miralax (laxative)?8.5 grams (Gm-unit of mass and weight)?via G-Tube two times a day for constipation (problem with passing stool) and mix with 60 milliliters (ml-unit of volume) of water, hold for loose stools. During a?concurrent medication administration observation and interview on?02/21/2026?at?5:04?p.m.,?with LVN 4, observed?LVN 4 prepare? Miralax?by mixing it (Miralax) with 60?ml of water.

LVN 4 turned off Resident 1's enteral feeding pump, flushed the G-tube with five ml of water, administered Miralax, and flushed the G-tube with five ml of water after administration without verifying the placement of the G-tube. When LVN 4 was asked about verifying the placement of Resident 1's G-tube, LVN 4 stated she forgot to check the G-tube placement by aspirating for gastric residual to ensure the G-tube was in the stomach. During an interview on?02/21/2026?at?6:59?p.m., with?Registered Nurse 2 (RN?2), RN 2?stated?that prior to medication administration via G-tube, the nurse should check the?placement by aspirating for gastric contents. RN 2?stated?that if the G-tube is not in the stomach,?the medications can?seep?into the abdominal cavity and cause?infection?and trauma.?RN 2 further stated it is important to check G-tube placement to prevent aspiration pneumonia.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of any significant medication errors by failing to ensure a resident was given clonidine (medication used to treat hypertension [high blood pressure - when the force of the blood pushing on the blood vessel walls is too high]) for its indication of use as ordered for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice had the potential to cause adverse side effects and cause confusion in the delivery of care and services for the resident.Findings: During a review of Resident?1's?Admission?Record,?the?admission Record?indicated the facility admitted Resident?1?on?7/17/2024?with diagnoses including?spastic?quadriplegic?cerebral palsy?(the most severe form of cerebral palsy?[brain disorder that appears in infancy and?permanently affects body movement], caused by brain damage that results in extreme stiffness?[spasticity]), tracheostomy?(a surgical?procedure that creates an opening in the neck?leading directly into the trachea?[windpipe]),?and?epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures [sudden, uncontrolled body movements and changes in behavior that occur because of abnormal electrical activity in the brain]). ?? During a review of Resident?1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated?1/26/2026,?the MDS indicated the resident?was nonverbal and?rarely/never understood others and rarely/never made themselves understood.?The MDS further?indicated? Resident?1?was completely dependent (helper does all the effort) on facility staff for all activities of daily living?(ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily).??? During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated the following orders: Clonidine oral tablet 0.1 milligram (mg- unit of measurement), give 0.5 tablet via G-Tube (gastrostomy tube - a medical device inserted through the abdomen directly into the stomach to deliver nutrition, fluids, and medication) every 12 hours as needed for tachycardia (increased heart rate) >160 beats per minute (bpm) or hypertension (elevated blood pressure) systolic blood pressure (SBP - the first number in a blood pressure reading, which measures the pressure in the arteries [pathway that carries blood away from the heart] when the heart beats) >150 millimeters of mercury? (mmHg- unit of measurement), ordered 4/24/2026. During a review of Resident 1's Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 2/2026, the EMAR indicated clonidine oral tablet 0.1 mg as needed for tachycardia >160 bpm or hypertension SBP >150 mmHg was given but there was no documentation to indicate why clonidine was given to Resident 1 and how high the SBP and heart rate was. Resident 1's EMAR indicated the following:- On 2/2/2026 at 1:59 a.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/7/2026 at 4:50 p.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/9/2026 at 7:30 p.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/11/2026 at 3:59 a.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/12/2026 at 7:20 p.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/13/2026 at 8:29 a.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/15/2026 at 7:31 a.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given. - On 2/16/2026 at 8:00 p.m., clonidine was given, but there is no indication why it was given.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's immunization policy by failing to ensure residents' responsible parties were provided education regarding the influenza vaccine (prevents infection from influenza [a common, sometimes deadly viral infection of the nose, throat, and lungs]) for three of five sampled residents (Resident 5, Resident 35, Resident 3). This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 5, Resident 35, and Resident 3's responsible party to not be aware of the risks and benefits of the influenza vaccine. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/17/2022 with diagnoses that included osteochondrodysplasia (a group of rare, typically genetic, disorders that cause abnormal development of bone and cartilage, resulting in stunted growth, short stature, and skeletal deformities), other congenital (a trait, disorder, or condition that is present at or before birth) deformities of skull, face, and jaw, and hydronephrosis (the swelling of one or both kidneys caused by a buildup of urine that cannot drain properly into the bladder). During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5's cognition (a mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience and senses) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 5 required setup or clean-up assistance with eating and substantial/maximal assistance with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and required partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 5's Immunization History Record, the Immunization History Record indicated that Resident 5 was administered the influenza vaccine on 10/16/2025. During an interview on 2/22/2026 at 2:41 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that the IP does inform residents' responsible parties to provide education about the influenza vaccine. The IP stated that it is the responsibility of the medical records department to provide influenza vaccine information. During an interview on 2/22/2026 at 3:21 p.m., with the Medical Records Director (MRD), the MRD stated that the MRD sends influenza vaccine information to residents' responsible parties to provide education about the influenza vaccine. The MRD stated that the influenza vaccine information was sent to all residents' responsible parties through regular mail and there is no mail confirmation that residents' responsible parties received the information. The MRD continued to state that the MRD does not have any documentation that residents' responsible parties received influenza vaccine information. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/22/2026 at 5:21 p.m., with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), reviewed Resident 5's Immunization History Record. The DSD stated that Resident 5 was administered the influenza vaccine on 10/16/2025. The DSD reviewed Resident 5's nursing progress notes and social services progress notes from 8/2025-10/2025 and stated that there was no documented evidence that Resident 5's responsible party received influenza vaccine information prior to the administration of the influenza vaccine. b. During a review of Resident 35's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/28/2010 with diagnoses that included congenital malformation (an abnormal, faulty, or imperfectly formed structure of a body part or organ, often present at birth) syndrome, paralysis of vocal cords and larynx (a condition where one or both vocal folds [cords] in the larynx [voice box] cannot move due to damaged nerves), and stenosis of larynx (abnormal narrowing of the voice box which disrupts the flow of air to the lungs and can impair speech and breathing). During a review of Resident 35's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 35's cognition was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 35 required supervision or touching assistance with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, and independent with personal hygiene.
