Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents and staff knew the
complaint and grievance process and posted grievance and complaint information in a manner accessible
to all residents. This failure did not ensure residents rights to file a grievance and had the potential to delay
the facility's identification and response to residents needs or complaints.
Findings:
During a resident council meeting on 2/17/22 at 11:00 a.m., the Resident attendees were asked if they
knew how to file a grievance. The Residents stated, they did not know there was a grievance process or
how to complete a grievance. When questioning the residents, they did not know where the forms were
kept. The Resident stated if they have a problem or a complaint, they go to the DON or Social Services
Director (SSD) for help.
During an observation post Resident Council meeting on 2/17/22 at 12:30 p.m., a bulletin board located
outside of the dining room contained resident rights, license certificates, and Ombudsman information. No
other signage was posted on the bulletin board or around the facility for filing a grievance.
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 1:35 p.m., Resident (26) daughter was asked if she knew how to file a
grievance or complaint. She stated she did not know anything about a grievance or what she needed to do.
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 3:00 p.m., the Social Services Director (SSD) was asked who was
responsible if a resident had any complaints or wanted to file a grievance. The SSD stated if there are any
complaints the residents come to me. When questioning the SSD further about the grievance process she
stated, if the family or resident has a complaint they notify the charge nurse or myself, we have a form we
fill out with the family or resident; we have not had any complaints in the last year. The SSD stated, she
called all the family members and notified them if they have any complaints to contact the SSD.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Grievances/Complaints - Staff Responsibility, Recording
and Investigating, (no date), indicated, 3. Staff members will inform the resident or the person acting on the
resident's behalf as to where to obtain a Resident Grievance/Complaint Form and where to locate the
procedures for filing a grievance or complaint (e.g. posted on the residents' bulletin board) No grievance
process was observed to be posted throughout the facility.

admission.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for 5
out of 13 sampled residents (Resident 229, Resident 129, Resident 130, Resident 132, Resident 133)
when:
1. Resident 229 had no baseline care plan for Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG-a device that
allows nutrition, fluids and/or medications to be put directly into the stomach, bypassing the mouth and
esophagus) Care Plan. This failure had the potential for Resident 229 not receiving adequate care because
of staff not knowing what care to provide.
2. New admissions to the facility, Resident 129, Resident 130, Resident 132, and Resident 133, were all
receiving skilled nursing care without an assessment of their care needs. This failure had to potential for
needs to go unmet, continued health decline, and a lower quality of care for these residents.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess, prevent, and treat a wound
for one of thirteen residents (Resident 14) when the facility admitted Resident 14 with right shoulder
Anti-subluxation brace/sling (a medical device intended to protect the shoulder joint from partial dislocation
cause by caused by paralysis or injury in the shoulder joint capsule), and no weekly skin assessment was
done. This failure resulted in Resident 14 developing a wound inside her right armpit with infection, and
there was no current wound assessment and wound care order from the Physician.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a review of Resident 14's medical record, the facility admitted Resident 14 on 12/30/21. The Skin
Evaluation Form dated 12/30/22, indicated Resident 14's skin had no existing issues. The Baseline care
plan dated 1/3/22, indicated Resident 14 was at risk for skin breakdown and skin would be checked weekly
and new skin concerns would be reported to the doctor for treatment and follow up. The Nursing Notes
dated 2/11/21, indicated there was an open wound with pus on Resident 14's right armpit and her
Physician was notified. Resident 14 had a physician order for Cephalexin (a medication) for wound infection
ordered on 2/11/22.
During an interview on 2/14/22, at 2:52 p.m., Staff M stated Resident 14 had a wound on her right armpit,
and it was caused by the brace digging into her skin.
During an interview on 2/15/22, at 10:06 a.m., Staff H stated Resident 14 has an unhealed wound on her
right armpit, and it was caused by the brace digging to her skin. Staff H stated that Resident 14 did not
have treatment orders for her wound. Staff H stated staff would sometimes use saline on the wound and
then covere it with a dressing. Staff H stated treatments were completed by the afternoon staff. When asked
how staff knew if a wound is getting better or worse, Staff H did not verbalize a response.
During an interview on 2/16/22, at 2:40 p.m., with the Director of Rehab (DOR), she stated Resident 14
was admitted to the facility with the right anti-subluxation brace. The DOR stated her department did not
provide training to direct staff on the use of the brace. The DOR stated the brace might have contributed to
Resident 14's right armpit wound development.
During an interview on 02/16/22, at 3:47 p.m. the DON stated the right armpit wound was possibly due to
the sling digging through her skin, and it was possible staff did not know how to use it appropriately. The
DON also stated there was no need to investigate the cause of the wound because we already knew it was
from the sling.
During interview and concurrent Resident 14's record review, on 2/16/22, at 3:58 p.m., the DON verified
Resident had one Skin Evaluation Form dated 12/30/21. The DON verified there was no documentation to
show weekly skin assessments were completed. The DON verified there was no Care plan for the right
armpit wound and the Anti-Subluxation brace/sling. The DON verified there was no documentation for
wound care treatment.

could not watch her father all the time and suggested that she might consider getting a 1:1 (one-on one)
sitter (one person who will only monitor one resident), but we would have to pay out of pocket for that care.
During an interview on 2/17/2022 at 4:17 p.m., Staff Q was asked what they do to monitor Resident 26 for
falls. Staff Q stated when a resident fell, she completed an assessment of the Resident and made sure they

and placed the resident on neuro checks (assessment of mental status and motor responses, including
reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired including vital signes) following the facility
process. Staff Q showed the documented records for the fall, and the neuro checks she completed for the
2/11/22 fall. When asked to see the other documentation for previous falls that occurred for Resident 26,
Staff Q stated she did not find them in the medical record.
Review of Resident 26's care plan and interventions for falls revealed dates of falls that had occurred.
Review of the clinical records did not show any documentation for the interventions or monitoring that were
performed for each of the falls listed in the Care Plan. There were no IDT notes or Physician notes to show
a cause analysis was conducted for the increased falls.
Review of the facility Policy and Procedure titled, Fall Monitoring dated January 14, 2014, indicated, vital
signs including neuro check will be monitored for 72 hours post fall. Procedure: 1. Vital signs, including
neuro checks, will be obtained and documented . 2. Charting will be performed every shift for 3-days post
fall.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and
assistance to prevent falls for 5 out of 13 sampled residents (Resident 130, Resident 133, Resident 26,
Resident 13, and Resident 20) when the facility did not accurately assess residents for their risk of falls, did
not timely implement, or attempt to implement, appropriate fall prevention interventions, and did not revise
or update fall prevention care plans with additional or different interventions after a fall. These failures
resulted in significant injury when Resident 130 sustained a broken right hip after a fall and placed at risk
residents at a greater risk for falls, harm, and possibly cause a decline in Residents' health condition.

2/9/22, indicated Resident 130 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The Care Area Assessment ([CAA]
reflects conditions, symptoms, and other areas of concern identified or suggested by MDS findings) section
indicated Resident 130's assessment triggered 8 care areas. The assessment identified dementia, falls,
and rehabilitation potential as areas Resident 130 needed further assistance with. The assessment
indicated the facility marked all 8 triggered areas as Addressed in Care Plan.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Fall Risk Assessment, updated 3/2018, indicated
the facility would document risk factors for falls and establish a resident-centered falls prevention plan. The
policy indicated staff and attending physician would collaborate to identify and address modifiable fall risk
factors and interventions to try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not modifiable.
During an observation, on 2/14/22, at 11 a.m., Resident 130 was lying in bed with his eyes closed. The bed
was flat and approximately 3 feet off the ground, not in its lowest position. No observation of any indication
Resident 130 had been identified as a resident at risk for falls. The bed in the lowest position, padded mats
placed on either side of the bed and alarms with sensors that alert if a resident attempted to change
positions were seen in use throughout the building. None of those interventions were seen in Resident
130's room.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/22, at 3 p.m., with Staff L, in the hallway in front of
Resident 130's room, Staff L looked into the room at the empty bed and stated Resident 130 was sent out
to the hospital because he fell.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/22 at 5:18 p.m., with Staff B and Staff Q, Resident
130's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) was reviewed. Staff Q reviewed the Interdisciplinary Notes and
confirmed the notes indicated Resident 130 had fallen on 2/5/22, 2/12/22, and 2/14/22. Staff Q reviewed
Resident 130's Care Plan and stated there was no nursing care plan to address Resident 130's risk for
falls. Staff B and Staff Q reviewed Resident 130's care plan and stated there was no nursing care plan
created to address Resident 130's actual falls until 2/14/22. Staff B stated there should have been a nursing
care plan since his admission on [DATE] to address Resident 130's risk for falls. Staff B stated the
documentation reviewed did not meet the facilities expectations for processing new admissions or for
resident falls. Staff Q stated doctors orders, the care plan and its interventions were used as indicators to
add specific tasks to the Point of Care section of the EMR. Staff Q stated the Point of Care section listed all
the tasks and vital information Certified Nurses Assistants (CNA) used for them to provide adequate
assistance and supervision during tasks of daily living. Staff B was unable to provide documentation to
show Resident 130's functional abilities and limitations were input into Resident 130's EMR Point of Care
section for direct care staff to review. The point of Care section of Resident 130's EMR was blank. When
asked how a CNA would know what assistance or safety precautions Resident 130 needed, Staff B stated
the staff all talk to each other, they knew from verbal report. Staff B stated the lack of documentation could
have contributed to Resident 130's 3 falls in 13 days.
During a review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 130, the Profile Face Sheet indicated
his admission date was 2/2/22. The record indicated Resident 130 was admitted with a diagnosis of
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cancer that develops in the thin, flat cells that make up the outermost layer of
your skin).
During a review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 130, the admission History and

fell at home.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
During a review of the EMR for Resident 130, the Interdisciplinary Note, dated 2/3/22, indicated Resident
130 was confused and attempted to get out of bed many times. There was no documentation of the fall on
2/5/22, Staff B was unable to show a post fall assessment, or a care plan, or a new change of condition
incident note. Staff B stated all 3 of those documents were expected for every fall. Staff B Staffed in addition
to the original assessments, nurses should chart a note related to the fall every shift for 72 hours. Staff Q
reviewed the ID notes and found one that indicated charting for multiple reasons including a fall on the
previous shift.
Residents Affected - Few
During a review of the EMR for Resident 130, the Interdisciplinary Note, dated 2/13/22, indicated Resident
130 was found on the floor next to his bed on 2/12/22 at 6 p.m. The note indicated a significant amount of
blood was observed on the floor near Resident 130's head. The note indicated Resident 130 stated he got
out of bed to go to the hospital because they have good coffee there. A review of the care plan indicated
Resident 130's risk for falls was not identified or care planned at the time of admission or after the first fall
on 2/3/22. The facility did not put any interventions in place to reduce the risk of falls. The EMR indicated
the post fall assessment and charting was not done. No interventions were put into place to prevent
Resident 130 from additional falls.
During a review of the EMR for Resident 130, the Interdisciplinary Note, dated 2/14/22, indicated at 10 a.m.
Resident 130 was found on the floor close to his bed on his back with his legs bent. The note indicated
Resident 130 stated he was going to the roof. The note indicated Resident 130 complained of right hip and
knee pain after the fall. The note indicated Resident 130's pain had gotten worse over time; x-rays were
ordered.
During a review of the physical medical chart for Resident 130, the Physicians Orders page, dated 2/14/21
indicated portable x-rays of the right hip and right knee after the fall were ordered. The page indicated at
4:30 p.m. the doctor ordered the x-rays to be upgraded to STAT (a common medical abbreviation for urgent
or rush) status. The page indicated at 7 p.m. the doctor ordered Oxycodone (a narcotic medication used to
treat moderate to severe pain) Five milligrams (mg a unit of weight measurement) to be given by mouth
every four hours as needed for moderate pain. The page further indicated the doctor ordered Oxycodone
ten mg to be given by mouth every four hours as needed for severe pain. The page indicated on 2/15/22 the
doctor ordered the facility to transfer Resident 130 to the acute hospital for evaluation.
During a review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 130, the Discharge summary, dated
[DATE], indicated Resident 130 fell out of bed on 2/14/22 and sustained an intertrochanteric right femoral
neck fracture (the right hip bone fractured in the area between the ball joint and the leg bone).
Resident 133
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/22 at 5:08 p.m., with Staff B and Staff Q, Resident
133's EMR was reviewed. Staff Q reviewed the ID notes and confirmed the notes indicated Resident 133
had fallen on 2/12/22 while attempting to walk by herself to the bathroom. Staff Q reviewed the record and
stated the facility had identified Resident 133 as being at risk for falls. Staff Q was unable to find
documentation to show the facility had interventions in place to prevent falls. Staff B stated she was not
aware Resident 133 had sustained a fall since admission on [DATE]. Staff B stated the fall was not reported
to management and therefore not discussed at the daily Stand up

incident tracking note, or a post fall assessment. Staff B confirmed those reports should have been
completed by the licensed nurse on the shift the fall occurred. Staff B confirmed this did not meet facility
expectations for nursing responsibilities after a fall. Staff Q reviewed the care plan and stated Resident 133
did not have a nursing care plan the EMR. Staff B reviewed the blank page and stated there should be a
nursing care plan for every identified care area.
During an interview on 2/15/22 at 10:34 a.m., Family Member 1 stated Resident 13's multiple falls in the
past year was a factor in hiring a part-time private caregiver for him. Family Member 1 stated, We
understand the staff could get busy, and thought the private caregiver could help keep Resident 13
company.
A review of Resident 13's face sheet indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included Parkinson's disease (a progressive brain disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and
difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination), and unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance
(a mental disorder in which a person loses the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve
problems, but does not include disruptive mood and behavior such agitation, aggression, disinhibition, and
sleep disturbances).
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 2:13 p.m., Staff J stated Resident 13's last fall was a long time ago. Staff
J stated she would try and sit close to him [Resident 13], or always check on his room when the private
caregiver leaves. Staff J confirmed it was not always possible to stay at Resident 13's bedside if other
residents were calling for help.
A review of Resident 13's Care Plans and interventions revealed:
a. Falls Care Plan, dated 05/27/21, indicated, unwitnessed fall with no apparent injuries . Check on resident
frequently when care partner if not present .
b. Falls Care Plan, dated 06/02/21, indicated, Unwitnessed Fall - no injuries . Do not leave resident [sic] in
room by himself when awake if companion [sic] is not present .
c. Falls Care Plan, dated, 06/10/21, indicated, unwitnessed fall in the bathroom with no injury . Monitor
resident in the bathroom at all times . Continue to monitor resident . Monitor resident while using the toilet .
Check resident.
d. Falls Care Plan, dated 08/28/21, indicated, unwitnessed [sic] fall with no apparent injuries . Keep bed in
lowest position and call light within reach. Ensure resident is toileted accordingly .
e. Falls Care Plan, dated 01/5/22, indicated, unwitnessed fall in his room with no injury . ensure resident is
dry and clean, toileted and is comfortable. Lower bed in lower position. Monitor resident Q-shift (every shift)
and PRN (as needed) .
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 13's care plans on 2/18/22 at 10:30 a.m., Staff
B confirmed Resident 13 had repeated falls and stated she expected the staff to frequently round and
check on him [Resident 13] after his private caregiver leaves. When asked if the facility has identified such
efforts as effective and adequate for Resident 13's pattern of unwitnessed falls, Staff B did not respond.

During an interview on 2/15/22 at 11: 17 a.m., Resident 20 stated he had a fall about two months ago.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Record review revealed Resident 20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included
Parkinson's disease (a progressive brain disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with
walking, balance, and coordination), and generalized weakness.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 2:25 p.m., Staff O stated Resident 20 was at risk for falls. When asked
how the staff knows which interventions were needed to prevent Resident 20 from further falls, Staff O
stated, It's general -- lowering the bed, keeping the call lights close, removing clutter in the room, and
ensuring the residents get adequate sleep. Staff O stated, I don't think there's any specific interventions for
[Resident 20].
A review of Resident 20's chart revealed IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) Notes indicating Resident 20
sustained falls without injuries on 12/21/21, 12/19/21 and 12/7/21. Further record review revealed there
were no care plans developed or revised to address Resident 13's multiple falls during December 2021.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 2/16/22 at 10:35 a.m., Staff B confirmed Resident 20
did not have any fall care plans initiated. When asked if there should have been one, Staff B stated, Yes.
During an interview on 2/18/22 at 2:59 p.m., Staff A confirmed resident falls continue to be a concern in the
facility. Staff A stated they had new bed- and chair-pad alarms, but were currently not being used, as they
have been broken since last fall [season].
A review of the facility policy titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated March 2018, indicated, The staff,
with the input of the attending physician, will implement a resident-centered fall prevention pan to reduce
the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls . Staff will try various
interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category or falling, until falling is reduced or stopped,
or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable . The staff will monitor and
document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce calling or the risks of falling .

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide medications as ordered by the physician to one of
six residents sampled for medication administration (Resident 129). This delayed acquisition resulted in
Resident 129 to not receive 11 doses and increased his potential to develop complications.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 3:55 p.m., Staff H marked Resident 129's Alvesco aerosol inhaler
(used to treat asthma) and stated, That medication is not available.
A review of Resident 129's face sheet indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for diagnoses that
included combined systolic and diastolic heart failure (a condition in which the heart does not pump blood
as well as it should), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a group of diseases that cause airflow
blockage and breathing-related problems), and chronic respiratory failure (a condition in which your blood
doesn't have enough oxygen or has too much carbon dioxide).
A review of Resident 129's MAR (Medication Administration Record), dated 02/2022, indicated the order
Alvesco 160 mcg/actuation aerosol inhaler [Ciclesonide] - 1 puff Inhalation Twice daily For COPD. Said
medication had a Start Date 02/08/22, and a scheduled time of 08:00 (8 a.m.) and 16:00 (4 p.m.). Further
review of the document indicated the medication was marked as the following:

During an interview on 2/17/22 at 3:25 p.m., Staff C confirmed the medication has been unavailable since
Resident 129's admission nine days ago. Staff C stated the pharmacy was notified of the missing
medication as the new electronic charting system automatically sends faxes when medications were clicked
as 'Not Available'. When queried about following up on missing medications, Staff C stated she had called
the pharmacy on 2/16/22 after not receiving a response. Staff C confirmed she did not notify the physician
and stated, I know, I should have notified the doctor. The order could have been changed if that was the
issue. Staff C added she usually notifies the physician if a medication was missed for one or two days.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 2/17/22 at 3:40 p.m., Staff B confirmed Resident 129
did not receive his Alvesco inhaler doses for days. Staff B stated, This is not acceptable of that long of a
wait.
During an interview on 2/17/22 at 4:19 p.m., Staff I stated he was not aware of the automatic notifications to
the pharmacy. Staff I stated, I expected the staff to call or send an actual fax to the pharmacy to notify us of
missing medications.
A review of the facility policy titled Medication Shortages, dated 2007, indicated, The facility nurse must
make every effort to ensure that a medication ordered for the resident is available to meet their needs .
Nursing staff shall, if the shortage will impact the patient's immediate need of the ordered product: a. Notify

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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor, re-evaluate, and document clinical
rationale for continued use of a psychotropic drug for one of five sampled residents for medication regimen
review (Resident 13) despite the resident not exhibiting behaviors the medication was originally prescribed
for. This failure placed Resident 13 at a higher risk for adverse side effects associated with psychotropic
medications.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/14/22 at 11:13 a.m., Resident 13 was asleep in bed.
During an interview on 2/14/22 at 11:15 a.m., Private Staff stated he was Resident 13's private caregiver for
a few months now and provides care and companionship for four hours during the day, five days a week.
When queried about Resident 13's condition, Private Staff stated, He has dementia. He's very nice, just
very confused.
A review of Resident 13's face sheet indicated he was last admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included Parkinson's disease (a progressive brain disorder that leads to shaking, stiffness, and
difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination), and unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbance
(a mental disorder in which a person loses the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve
problems, but does not include disruptive mood and behavior such agitation, aggression, disinhibition, and
sleep disturbances). Further review of Resident 13's chart indicated the physician's order: Seroquel (a
mind-altering drug used to treat mood disorders) 12.5 mg (milligrams) PO (orally) daily for hallucination
(sensory experiences that appear real but are not) and depression (a mood disorder that causes a
persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with your daily functioning) with an Order
Date: 3/29/21.
During observations on 2/15/22 at 9:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., Resident 13 was asleep in bed.
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 10 a.m., Resident 13 was asleep in bed.
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 2:13 p.m., Staff J described Resident 13 as confused but calm.
A review of the facility binder titled, Monthly Medication Regimen Review, revealed a Gradual Dose
Reduction note, dated 5/5/21, written by the pharmacist to the physician regarding Resident 13's use of
Seroquel with his history of dementia. The physician's response indicated, Med benefit outweighs risks.
There were no documented, subsequent GDRs for Resident 13 after 5/5/21.
A review of Resident 13's MDS ([Minimum Data Set] a standardized, primary screening and assessment

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medication error rate was
lower than 5% when staff made five medication errors out of 27 opportunities. This failure resulted in a
medication error rate of 18.5%, which had the potential of unsafe provision of medications to residents.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 8:32 a.m., after checking Resident 300's vital signs, Staff D dispensed
the following medications into a medicine cup:
1. One tablet of Carvedilol (used to treat high blood pressure),
2. One tablet of Methenamine (used to treat or prevent urinary tract infections),
3. One tablet of Aspirin (used to ease pain and/or prevent blood clots), and
4. One tablet of Sodium Chloride (used to treat low sodium levels in the blood).
Staff D knocked on the door, entered the room and handed Resident 300 the medicine cup and a glass of
water. Staff D looked on as Resident 300 drank the pills, then exited the room.
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 9:13 a.m., Staff D dispensed the following medications into a medicine
cup:
1. One capsule of Creon (used to help break down food when the pancreas is not working the right way),
2. One tablet of Eliquis (used to treat or prevent blood clots),
3. Half a tablet of Estradiol (used to prevent soft, brittle bones [osteoporosis] after menopause), and
4. One tablet of Metoprolol (used to treat high blood pressure).
Staff D knocked on the door, entered the room and gave the medicine cup to Resident 23. Staff D exited
the room after Resident 23 drank the pills.
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 9:27 a.m., Staff D stated it was the fourth day on the unit but had
medication administration training before. When queried, Staff D confirmed he did not explain to Residents
300 and 23 what medications were in the cup. Staff D stated, They have been taking it regularly; they know
their meds.
During a concurrent interview, at Staff D's response, Staff C stated informing the residents what
medications they were given was part of medication rights. Staff C stated, You still have to explain what you
are giving the residents, every time, even if they take it regularly. That is part of right medication. That is
standard of practice.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe medication storage when:
1. Expired medications, including an eye drop belonging to one unsampled resident (Resident 2) were
found in medication storage, and
2. Temperature logs were not maintained in the medication refrigerator.
These failures had the potential for contamination and altered integrity of stored medications.
Findings:
During an observation on 2/15/22 at 3:29 p.m., an opened, multi-dose bottle of Latanoprost (a medication
used to lower high eye pressure) belonging to Resident 2 was found inside a drawer of Medication Cart 2.
The eye drop bottle, dated 12/26, had an affixed label that read, *DISCARD 6 WEEKS AFTER OPENING*.
During an interview with Staff B and Staff G on 2/15/22 at 3:44 p.m., Staff C stated 12/26 was the date
when the medication was opened. Staff C confirmed the discard instructions and stated, This [bottle] should
have been discarded last week. Staff B then proceeded to dispose of the bottle.
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 10:21 a.m., a 1000-ml (milliliter) bag of 5% Dextrose and 0.45%
Sodium Chloride Injection USP (an intravenous solution used as source of electrolytes, calories, and
hydration) was found on a shelf in the medication room. The bag was labeled EXP 04/21.
During an observation on 2/16/22 at 10:34 a.m., a document was affixed to the door of the locked
medication refrigerator. A concurrent review of the document, titled Refrigerator/Storage Space: Medication
Temperature Log, dated [DATE] indicated a table with headings Date, NOC Shift Temp, Signature, AM Shift
Temp, Signature. Further review of the log indicated twice-daily entries for dates 2/1/22-2/5/22, 2/7/22,
2/14/22 and 2/15/22.
During an interview on 2/16/22 at 10:42 a.m., Staff B stated the medication storage room was checked by
staff at least weekly and the medication storage temperatures were checked at least daily. Staff B stated, It
is important to keep medications in proper storage to stabilize the contents and maintain their efficacy.
Upon observation of the intravenous bag, Staff B confirmed that it was expired and should have been
removed from the shelf. During a concurrent log review, Staff B confirmed the log was incomplete and was
not acceptable.
A review of the facility policy titled Storage of Medication, dated 9/18, indicated, Medications requiring
refrigeration . are kept in a refrigerator with a thermometer to allow temperature monitoring . A temperature
log or tracking mechanism is maintained to verify that temperature has remained within acceptable limits .

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive action plans for
identification, analysis, correction, and evaluation of systemic care issues, including high-risk, high-volume
concerns, and repeat survey deficiencies. This failure had the potential to precent timely recognition and
improvement of care services that do not meet standards for quality for all 31 residents.
Findings:
A review of the facility's CASPER 3 ([Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reporting] a report
compiled of survey findings that demonstrate the facility's performance) indicated a pattern of repeat
deficiencies related to quality of care and falls, from 2018 to 2019.
During an interview on 2/18/22 at 2:59 p.m., Staff A stated QAPI meetings were conducted at least
quarterly. Staff A stated that while the pandemic and staffing turnovers were a big focus for the facility in the
last year, Staff A confirmed falls continue to be part of the facility's QAPI projects. A concurrent review of
the binder titled QAPI, indicated attendance sheets and meeting minutes for 2020 and 2021. Staff A stated
a Falls Committee was started back in November 2020. However, when queried about details of the
facility's QAPI plans to address falls, such as goals and metrics and progress evaluation, since the Falls
Committee's inception, Staff A was unable to provide further information. When asked how the QAPI
committee would be able to effectively monitor their efforts to improve care concerns without data tracking
and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, Staff A stated, Yes, I understand that that's a
concern. When queried if the QAPI committee has identified resident care planning as another high-volume
concern, Staff A stated, Now we know. Staff A stated, The pandemic and staff turnovers, that transition
really affected our projects.
A review of the facility policy titled, Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI)
Program-Government and Leadership, dated January 2022, indicated, The responsibilities of the QAPI
Committee are to: a. Collect and analyze performance indicator data and other information; b. Identify,
evaluate, monitor and improve facility systems and processes that support the delivery of care and services
. f. Establish benchmarks and goals by which to measure performance improvement; g. Coordinate the
development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of performance improvement projects to achieve
specific goals .

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement clinical criteria protocols,
infection surveillance protocols, and antibiotic use protocols that promoted antibiotic stewardship. These
failures had the potential for inconsistent and ineffective antibiotic stewardship (a coordinated program that
promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials [including antibiotics], improves patient outcomes, reduces
microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms)
services for all residents in the facility.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
During an interview on 2/18/22, at 10:40 a.m., with Staff W, she confirmed she was the facility Infection
Preventionist. Staff W stated she worked as a floor nurse 3 shifts a week. Staff W stated the other 2 days
her priority was infection control. Staff W stated she was working on the facility's infection surveillance for
December. Staff W stated she had not had time to complete January's surveillance. Staff W stated she
would be verbally informed by the Director of Nurses (DON) if there was a new antibiotic order for a
resident. The DON confirmed a verbal report was the facility process for identifying antibiotic use in the
facility.
During an interview on 2/18/22, at 10:45 a.m., with Staff W, she stated the admission nurse was expected
to complete the antibiotic monitoring form for new residents. Neither Staff W or the DON could provide
documentation to show floor nurses had been trained on McGeer criteria (an infection surveillance tool that
looks at symptoms of infection), or any aspect of the antibiotic stewardship process. Staff W was unable to
show documentation that all residents admitted with orders for antibiotics had reviewed for antibiotic
stewardship.
During an interview on 2/18/22, at 10:50 a.m., with Staff W stated the doctors decided if they wanted to use
antibiotics or not. Staff W stated the facility sent out a letter that described the antibiotic stewardship
process approximately 3 years ago. Staff W stated no further information had been passed onto the
doctors.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Antibiotic Stewardship dated 12/16, indicated the
facility would monitor all residents on antibiotics. The policy indicated lab results would be communicated to
the doctor to determine if antibiotic therapy should be started, continued modified or discontinued.

(Resident 133 Resident 129 and Resident 28) immunization status was assessed and accurately
documented in their medical record. These failures had the potential to result in higher risk for infection due
to lack of immunization or side effects from an additional dose of vaccine been given.
Findings:
During a review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 133, the pneumonia immunization
status was blank. The EMR had no indication to show the facility had offered the vaccine. The EMR had no
indication if Resident 133 was already vaccinated or had refused.
During a review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for Resident 28, the pneumonia immunization
status was blank. The EMR had no indication to show the facility had offered the vaccine. The EMR had no
indication if Resident 28 was already vaccinated or had refused.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/18/2,2 at 11:12 a.m., with Staff W, she reviewed
Resident 28's immunization status and stated the pneumonia vaccine information was not where it should
be. Staff W stated accurate assessment and documentation of vaccine status was not audited by the
Infection Preventionist because there was not enough time. Staff W stated maybe Staff N completed audits.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 2/18/2,2 at 12:30 p.m., with Staff G, Resident 28's
Immunization Status was reviewed. The pneumonia status was blank. Staff G reviewed Resident 28's
physical chart and stated the pneumonia vaccine status was not in the physical chart. Staff G stated
Resident 28's pneumonia status should be in the electronic record.
During a review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Vaccination of Residents, dated 10/2019,
indicated all residents would be offered vaccines unless the vaccine was medically contraindicated, or the
resident had already been vaccinated. The policy indicated residents' refusal to a vaccine would be
documented in their medical record.
