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 provide reasonable accommodation to meet
residents needs for two of two sampled residents (Residents 21 and 25) by failing to ensure that the call
light was within reach for both residents.
Residents Affected - Some
These deficient practices resulted in delayed provision of services and had the potential to negatively
impact the psychosocial well-being of Residents 21 and 25.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
21 on 8/7/2024, with diagnoses including anxiety disorder, and failure to thrive (when an older adult has a
loss of appetite, eats and drinks less than usual, loses weight, and is less active than normal).
During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 11/13/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 21 had severe cognitive (the ability to think and process information)
impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 21 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort) with activities of daily living (ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care
activities) and required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with mobility.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 21 on 11/25/2024 at 11:18 AM, Resident 21's
call light was tucked below the bed mattress and not within reach. Resident 21 stated she's wet and needs
to be changed. Resident 21 stated the resident could not call for assistance.
b. During a review of Resident 25's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 25 on 8/25/2024,
with diagnoses including urinary tract infection (UTI, a condition in which bacteria invade and grow in the
urinary tract), muscle weakness, anxiety disorder, and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 25's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 25 had severe cognitive
impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 25 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with ADL and
required substantial/maximal assistance with mobility.
During an observation on 11/25/2024 at 10:49 AM, Resident 25's call light was hooked around the small
dresser drawer located next to Resident 25's bed and was not within reach.

During an interview on 11/25/2024 at 1:08 PM, with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 2, CNA 2 stated that
call lights ensure resident safety and should be always within reach. CNA 2 stated call lights allowed
residents to communicate their needs. CNA 2 stated that the call lights for Residents 21 and 25 weren't
within reach and should have been easily accessible in case the residents (Residents 21 and 25) needed
help.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/27/2024 at 11:17 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that
call lights are a critical communication tool for residents to quickly request assistance when needed, which
is vital for their safety and well-being, preventing potential falls or complications by allowing them to
summon help immediately in case of discomfort, pain, or an emergency.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Answering the Call Light, revision dated
3/2021, the P&P indicated that the purpose of this procedure is to ensure timely responses to the resident's
requests and needs and when the resident is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within
easy reach of the resident.

Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive communication
assessment for Resident 2 who primarily spoke Arabic, as indicated in the facility's policy and procedure.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 2 being unable to communicate the residents
needs and wants and not receive individualized care to meet the resident's medical, nursing, and mental
and psychosocial needs that would have been identified in the language assessment.
Findings:
During a review of the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnosis that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (cause weakness or paralysis on one side of the
body), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), psychosis (loss of contact with society) and hearing loss.
During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment and care-screening tool), dated
8/23/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2 needed or wanted an interpreter to communicate with a doctor or
health care staff due to Arabic was the resident's preferred language. The MDS indicated Resident 2
sometimes understood (limited concrete request) and sometimes understood others (respond to simple
direct communication). Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with showering, toilet hygiene,
dressing, and sit to lying position.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Resident 2 with Certified Nurse Assistant 5 (CNA 5),
while at the resident's bedside, on 11/25/2024 at 11:08 am, Resident 2 was attempting to communicate
with CNA 5. CNA 5 stated Resident 2 did not speak English and continued to attempt to communicate with
the resident without using any form of communication tool. CNA 5 stated CNA 5 communicated with
Resident 2 by facial grimacing, pointing at items and the resident nodding her head.
During an interview and concurrent observation inside Resident 2's room, on 11/26/2024 at 12:14pm, with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) Resident 2 was observed in bed eating lunch. Resident 2 was
observed attempting to communicate with LVN 4, speaking in Arabic while pointing at his food. LVN 4
attempted to communicate with Resident 2 in English. However, LVN 4 stated Resident 2 only spoke Arabic
and did not use any tool to communication with Resident 2. LVN4 stated it was important to provide a form
of communication with Resident 2 so the resident can tell us (staff) his needs and wants.
During an interview and record review of Resident 2's paper and electronic chart, on 11/26/2024 at 1:15
pm, a Registered Nurse (IPN) stated communication was important to inform the staff of basic needs, such
as water. IPN stated Resident 2 was not assessed regarding the resident ability and preferred way of
communication. IPN stated Resident 2 only spoke and communicated in Arabic and there should have been
a communication assessment done upon admission addressing his preferred language to communicate, so
we (staff) can really know what is going on with the resident and provide the proper care the resident
needs. IPN stated without a communication tool, the staff is just guessing.

A. During a review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident
15 on 6/25/2019, and re-admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including seizures (a temporary episode of
abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes a person to experience changes in their body and
behavior), hypertension (a condition where the pressure of blood in your blood vessels is consistently too
high), and dementia (a group of neurological conditions that cause a decline in mental functioning, such as
thinking, remembering, and reasoning).
During a review of Resident 15's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/23/2023, indicated Resident 15 did
not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of the Care Plan dated 3/6/2024, the Care Plan that Resident 15 used bilateral padded half side
rails to prevent potential injury during seizure episodes. The Care Plan goal indicated that Resident 15
would not have injury related to side rail use.
During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/17/2024,
the MDS indicated Resident 15 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with activities of daily living
(ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care activities) and dependent with mobility.
A review of the Bed Rail assessment dated [DATE], the Bed Rail Assessment indicated had an alteration in

have bilateral padded side rails to her bed for her safety. LVN 3 stated that padded side rails are used as a
safety measure to prevent serious injuries in case of seizure activity and Resident 15 should have had
bilateral padded side rails.
During an interview on 11/27/2024 at 11:17 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that all
physician orders should be carried out and should be done in a timely manner. The DON stated that
carrying out physician orders ensures the patient receives the most appropriate treatment plan based on
their medical needs, which can significantly improve their health outcomes by minimizing complications.
The DON stated that clarifying medical orders from the doctor is important to ensure patient safety by
preventing errors and minimizing potential harm.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, revision dated 7/2017, the

B. During a review of Resident 23's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 23 on 5/11/2024,
with diagnoses including bacteremia (a condition where bacteria are present in the bloodstream), urinary
tract infection (UTI, a condition in which bacteria invade and grow in the urinary tract), and difficulty walking.
A review of the Hospice and Palliative Care Staff Assignment dated 5/28/2024, the Hospice and Palliative
Care Staff Assignment indicated:
1. The hospice Registered Nurse (RN) would visit Resident 23 at the facility every 14 days and as needed.
2. The hospice LVN would visit Resident 23 at the facility once a week and as needed.
3. The Certified Homemaker-Home Health Aide (CHHA) would visit Resident 23 at the facility three times a
week.
A review of the Hospice and Palliative Care Staff Sign-In Sheet from dated 5/28/2024 to 10/12/2024, the
Staff Sign-In Sheet indicated that the hospice staff had not been signing-in according to the staff
assignment frequency.
During a review of Resident 23's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 23 had severe cognitive
(the ability to thin and process information) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 23 was dependent
with ADL and dependent with mobility.
During an interview on 11/26/2024 at 10:28 AM, with the Registered Nurse (RN), the RN stated that the
hospice staff had not been signing in consistently as indicated by the staff assignment sign-in sheet. The
RN stated that it was important that the hospice staff document their visits in the sign-in sheet as it signifies
their official involvement in the resident's care which allows them to collaborate closely with the facility staff
to provide specialized end-of-life care. The RN stated that this enhanced the comfort and quality of life for
the dying resident.
During an interview on 11/27/2024 at 11:17 AM, with the DON, the DON stated that it was important for the
facility to ensure that hospice staff always documented their presence, because it allowed for clear
communication with the facility staff regarding the patient's care and ensure proper coordination of services
between the hospice team and the facility staff. The DON stated that this was important especially when
providing end-of-life care to a resident in the facility, because it helped maintain a comprehensive care plan
and avoid potential gaps in treatment.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Hospice Program, revision dated 7/2017,
the P&P indicated Hospice providers who contract with the facility are held responsible for meeting the
same professional standards and timelines of service as any contracted individual or agency associated
with the facility. The P&P indicated The Facility ensures that facility staff provide orientation on the policies
and procedures of the facility, including resident rights, appropriate forms, and record keeping
requirements, to hospice staff furnishing care to residents.

Residents Affected - Few
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents
(Resident 191) who received hemodialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids
artificially through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed) had been provided with an emergency kit at
the resident's bedside.
This deficient practice had the potential to delay treatment to Resident 191 when needed during an
emergency.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 191's admission Record, (AR) , the AR indicated Resident 191 was admitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (ESRD, irreversible kidney failure)
dependence on hemodialysis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (disorder characterized by difficulty in blood
sugar control and poor wound healing)
During a review of Resident 191's History and Physical, (H&P) dated 11/23/2024, the H&P indicated
Resident 191 did not have decision making capacity. The H&P, indicated Resident 191 could independently
bathe, feed, and dress self.
During a review of Resident 191's Order Summary Report, (OSR) with active orders as of 11/26/2024, the
OSR, indicated Resident 191 required hemodialysis every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30 PM
to 5:30 PM.
During a concurrent observation and interview 11/26/2024 at 10:01 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2 in Resident 191's room, LVN 2 could not find the emergency kit in Resident's 191's bedside
drawers or closet and stated Resident 191 should have the emergency kit but did not. LVN 2 stated the
purpose of the emergency kit was to have it available to the residents quickly during emergencies and the
dressings inside the kit would be used to stop any potential bleeding from the resident's dialysis site.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/27/2024 at 7:00 AM with Director of Nursing (DON),
the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) Hemodialysis Access Care, dated 9/2010 was reviewed. The P&P
indicated under Care Immediately Following Dialysis Treatment, 4. If there is major bleeding from the site
(post-dialysis), apply pressure to insertion site and contact emergency services and dialysis center. Verify
that clamps are closed on lumens. This is a medical emergency. Do no leave resident alone until
emergency services arrive. DON stated the passage does not specifically mention an emergency kit, but it
was necessary to have one at the bedside because the resident cannot be left alone if they begin to bleed.

Residents Affected - Few
Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide, restore, or improve normal bladder
function for one of two sampled residents (Resident 92) whose urinary indwelling foley catheter (a tube that
removes urine from the bladder to a collection bag) was observed with the presence of sediments (cells,
debris and other solid matter in urine).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in catheter related complications such as urinary tract
infection (UTI, an infection in any part of the urinary system, the kidneys, bladder, or urethra).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 92's admission Record (AR), the admission record indicated the resident was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis that included Alzheimer's Disease (disease causing
memory loss and other mental functions), psychosis (abnormal condition of the mind that involves a loss of
contact with reality), and hypertension (elevated blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 92's Second 90 Day Physician Recertification of Terminal Illness, dated
11/1/2024, the recertification indicated the resident was awake and oriented to person (himself) only.
During a review of Resident 92's physician's orders, the orders indicated an indwelling foley catheter was
ordered for Resident 92 due to uropathy (urine flow is blocked) and to change the indwelling catheter or
foley bag as needed.
During an observation and concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN 5), on 11/25/2024
at 12:33 pm, Resident 92 was in bed, the resident's foley catheter tubing was observed with dark amber
color with sediments in the urine. LVN 5 stated sediments in the foley can harm the resident as it may
indicate a form of infection. LVN 5 stated Resident 92's physician should have been informed to determine
what was causing the resident's urine to be dark with sediments.
During an interview with a Registered Nurse (IPN), on 11/26/2024 at 1:30 pm, the IPN stated foley catheter
care was done daily. The IPN stated sediments should not be in Resident 92's urine as it was a sign of
infection.
During a record review of Resident 92's care plan titled Foley Cather for Uropathy,, dated 11/20/2024, the
care plan indicated the resident will show no signs and symptoms of urinary infection (an infection in any
part of the urinary system including the kidneys) as part of the facility's goal. The listed interventions
included to monitor/record/report to the physician symptoms of pain, burning, blood tinge urine, cloudiness
as part of the facility's intervention.
A review of the facility's policy titled Catheter Care - Urinary, revised on 9/2014, the policy indicated the
purpose of the procedure was to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections and indicated to
observe the resident for complications associated with urinary catheters, to check the urine for unusual
appearance (color, blood, etc.). Observe for other signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection . and report
findings to the physician or supervisor immediately.

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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident 20's fluoxetine (medication used to treat
depression) had clinical justification as to why gradual dose reduction (GDR) was contraindicated and
adequately define the indication for fluoxetine.
This deficient practice had the potential to overmedicate Resident 20 with unnecessary medication.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 20's admission Record, (AR), the AR indicated Resident 20 was admitted on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses included dementia (a progressive state of decline of
mental abilities) with behavioral disturbance and mild, recurrent major depressive disorder (persistent
feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
During a review of Resident 20's Care Plan (CP, document that summarizes a resident's health conditions,
specific care needs and current treatments) titled Resident is resistive to care and refusing care related to
Dementia, dated 12/26/2023 the CP indicated interventions to give clear explanations of all care activities
prior to and as they occur during each contact. The CP interventions further indicated if resident resists
ADLs, reassure resident, leave, and return 5-10 minutes later and try again.
During a review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS -a resident assessment tool) dated 8/28/2024,
indicated Resident 20 had severe cognitive (ability to think, reason, plan) impairment. The MDS, indicated
Resident 20's mood did not have symptoms of feeling little interest or pleasure in doing things or feeling
down, depressed, or hopeless. The MDS indicated Resident 20 did not have physical or verbal behaviors
directed at self or others such as hitting, scratching, screaming, or disruptive sounds. The MDS indicated
Resident 20 was dependent (helper does all the effort) for bathing and toileting hygiene.
During a review of the consultant pharmacist's medication regimen review for Resident 20 Note to
Attending Physician/ Prescriber, (NTAP) dated 9/16/2024, the NTAP indicated Resident 20 was due to be
evaluated for a gradual dose reduction of fluoxetine. The NTAP further indicated the prescriber's response
which was an x written into the checkbox labeled Agree.
During a review of Resident 20's Order Summary Report, (OSR) dated with active orders as of 11/26/2024,
the OSR, indicated to give fluoxetine 20 milligrams (unit of measurement) tablet orally once in the evening
for depression manifested by refusal to participate with activities of daily living (ADL).
During an interview on 11/27/2024 at 9:26 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated
Resident 20 was mostly confused but did not show sad expressions or verbalize being sad. CNA 1 stated
Resident 20 will sometimes refuse certain activities but will usually agree to them when asked again later.

Resident 20 has dementia and sometimes refuses care such as getting changed. LVN 2 further stated LVN
2 didn't think Resident 20 had shown signs of depression and had not verbalized being sad, had sad
expressions or crying. LVN 2 stated an example where Resident 20 did not want to be changed because
Resident 20 stated it was cold. LVN 2 stated at that time after leaving Resident 20 and coming back at a
later time, Resident 20 would agree to be changed.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/27/2024 at 10:45 AM with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated during an
informal conversation, Resident 20's prescriber did not want to reduce the current dose of fluoxetine as
recommended by the consultant pharmacist but did not have any documentation from the prescriber to
show why it would be clinically contraindicated. The DON stated the prescriber did not want to reduce the
dosage of two psychotropic medications at the same time because the prescriber believed it (reduce the
dosage) might lead to worsening behavior from Resident 20. The DON stated Resident 20's behavior
included refusing care, refusing medication, and hitting staff. The DON stated the documentation from the
prescriber is needed to justify why Resident 20 is contraindicated from a gradual dose reduction and to
make sure the resident is not overmedicated. DON stated DON could not find documentation of
non-pharmacological interventions used prior to starting Resident 20 on fluoxetine. The DON stated the
indication for refusing to participate in ADL care was not clear and could be depression or another
underlying cause.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotropic Medication Use, dated
6/2021 the P&P indicated the facility should not use psychotropic medications to address behaviors without
first determining if there is a medical, physical, functional, psychological, social, or environmental cause of
the resident's behaviors.

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 that all drugs/medications used in the
facility were labeled properly and/or discarded in accordance with professional standards of practice for one
of two sampled medication carts (Med Cart 2).
This deficient practice had the potential for residents to be administered (the act of giving a treatment, such
as a drug, to a patient) with ineffective medications and potentially compromise the health, safety, and
well-being of the residents.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/26/24 at 11:02 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 2 Med Cart 2 had the following stored:
1.
Multiple opened house supply (over the counter) medications marked with an opened date (date
medication was opened and used) stored in the first drawer except for an opened bottle of a Geri Care
(brand name) Stool Softener 100 mg (milligrams, a unit of measurement) 200 Softgels with a
manufacturer's expiration (exp) date of 2026/02 that was not marked with an opened date.
2.
An opened bottle of Geri Care One-Day Multi-Vitamin 200 Tablets marked with an opened date of 8/14/24,
with a manufacturer's exp date of 2025/11.
3.
An opened box of Alka-Seltzer (brand name) Buffered aspirin (NSAID) Pain reliever/fever reducer 6
Effervescent Tablets (3 - 2 count pouches), not marked with an opened date, with a manufacturer's exp

exp date of 2026/[DATE], 1 unopened pouch with a manufacturer's exp date of 2026/[DATE], and 1 opened
pouch with a manufacturer's exp date of 2026/[DATE] and 1 tablet inside the pouch.
LVN 2 stated, staff did not have to date the house supply drugs with an opened date since staff followed the
manufacturer's exp date. LVN 2 could not indicate a reason why all the opened house supply drugs stored
in the first drawer of Med Cart 2 had an opened date and not the opened bottle of the Geri Care Stool
Softener 100 mg 200 Softgels with a manufacturer's exp date of 2026/02 and the opened box of

During an interview on 11/26/24 at 12:44 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, labeling
house supply drugs with an opened date and checking the manufacturer's exp date were part of the
facility's protocol for house supply drugs. The DON stated, labeling with an opened date was important to
ensure the house supply drugs were not past the recommended due date which was usually ninety (90)

after touching the lid of the dumpster it's trash, of course, it's going to be dirty, we don't want germs. The HS
stated, there should be at least an alcohol hand sanitizer available, but we wear gloves (referring to when
sorting the dirty laundry).
During an interview on 11/26/24 at 3:29 p.m. with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated, it
was important for staff to clean, wash or disinfect the counting pill tray before and after use for of course
infection control. The IPN stated, the counting pill tray could have some residue left from the medication (in
general) and potentially cause a drug interaction and/or allergy. The IPN stated, the HS should have
performed hand hygiene after touching the trash dumpster for infection control and sanitary reasons.
During an interview on 11/27/24 at 9:51 a.m. with the IPN, the IPN stated, staff should perform hand
hygiene with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer such as after contact with residents even if staff
wore gloves to prevent the spread of infection. The IPN stated, the laundry area had no sink for
handwashing but should have at least a supply of hand sanitizer.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, dated
9/18/23, the P&P indicated, the facility considered hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread
of infections. The P&P indicated, hand hygiene products and supplies (sinks, soap, towels, alcohol-based
hand rub, etc.) should be readily accessible and convenient for staff use to encourage compliance with
hand hygiene policies. The P&P indicated the use of gloves did not replace hand washing/hand hygiene.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain its infection prevention and
control program for 5 of 5 sampled residents (Residents 11, 23, 34, 241 and 242) by failing to ensure:
A. The urinals were stored in shared restrooms for Residents 23, 34, 241 and 242 were properly labeled.
B. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 disinfected (to thoroughly clean something by using a special
chemical solution that kills germs like bacteria and viruses on a surface) the pill counting tray before and
after use for Resident 11.
C. Ensure the facility had sufficient hand hygiene supply and resources in the laundry area.
D. Housekeeping Supervisor (HS) performed hand hygiene after touching the dumpster.
These deficient practices had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of
infection to Residents 11, 23, 34, 241 and 242 and other residents and staff in the facility.
Findings:
A1. During a review of Resident 23's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted
Resident 23 on 5/11/2024, with diagnoses including bacteremia (a condition where bacteria are present in
the bloodstream), urinary tract infection (UTI, a condition in which bacteria invade and grow in the urinary
tract), and difficulty walking.
