Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to obtain and maintain copies of advance directives (AD, a
legal document explaining a resident's health care wishes when residents cannot speak for themselves) for
four of six sampled residents (Residents 3, 6, 43, and 44).This failure had the potential to result in conflict
regarding Residents' 3, 6, 43, and 44 health care choices.
Findings:
a. During review of Resident 3's face sheet. The face sheet indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnosis including but not limited to: arthritis (pain. swelling and stiffness of the joints) right
knee infection, muscle weakness, and morbid obesity.
During review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS- standardized assessment screening tool) dated 12/11 2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognition was intact.
During review of Resident 3's clinical records, the clinical records did not include the resident had an AD.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/2026 at 3:36 PM with the Social Service Director
(SSD), Resident 3's clinical records were reviewed. The clinical records indicated Resident 3 had an AD
according to the Advance Health Care Directive Acknowledgement Form (AHCD). The SSD stated the
AHCD form indicated Resident 3 has an AD, but it is not in their clinical records. The SSD stated it was
important to have a copy of the AD in the Residents 3's chart to ensure their choices were honored.
During review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directives dated December 2016,
the P&P indicated the facility will comply with state and federal law regarding AD. Upon admission the
resident will be provided with written information regarding acceptance or refusal of medical or surgical
treatment. If there is an AD it will be placed in the resident's medical record.
b. During a review of Resident 43's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 43 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including fibromyalgia (long term condition that causes
widespread pain, extreme fatigue, and tenderness in muscles and joints throughout the body) and
dementia (a gradual decline in mental ability usually caused by a brain disease).
During a review of Resident 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident
assessment tool) dated 1/8/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 43 had impaired cognition (ability to

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to inform one of one sampled resident's
(Resident 64) physician (Medical Doctor [MD] 1) of Resident 64's change of condition (CoC, an alteration in
a resident's physical health that differs from their previous baseline) when Resident 64 was observed with
redness on Resident 64's left eye on 1/27/2026. This failure had the potential for Resident 64 not to receive
adequate treatment for a potential infection in Resident 64's left eye.Findings: During a review of Resident
64's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition that occurs later in life and worsens with time
in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory loss, physical decline, and confusion).During
a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 1/23/2026, the MDS
indicated Resident 64's cognition (ability to understand and process information) was severely impaired and
Resident 64 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for activities of daily living.During a
concurrent observation and interview on 1/27/2026 at 1:10 PM with Family Member (FM) 1, Resident 64's
left eye was observed. FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye appeared more red on this day than ever before.
FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye had been pink and/or red a few months ago when Resident 64 had
shingles (painful, blistering skin rash caused by the chicken pox virus) on the left side of Resident 64's
face.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/28/2026 at 12:52 PM with FM 1, in Resident 64's
room, Resident 64's left eye was observed with redness in the sclera (white outer coating of the eye that
surrounds the cornea). FM 1 stated Resident 64's left eye looked red for a couple days and FM 1 informed
Resident 64's nurse on 1/27/2026 of the redness. FM 1 stated Resident 64's nurse told FM 1 it would be
taken care of, but FM 1 had not received any updates and did not know if there was planned treatment for
the redness in Resident 64's left eye.During an observation on 1/29/2026 at 9:23 AM, Resident 64 had
redness on Resident 64's left eye and the eye had white discharge (a combination of mucus, oil, skin cells,
and debris that accumulate in the eye) on the lower lid.During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 2:37 PM with
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated FM 1 mentioned Resident 64's eye redness to CNA 1 on
1/28/2026. CNA 1 stated CNA 1 offered to report Resident 64's eye redness to the Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN) 6 on behalf of FM 1 but FM 1 declined because FM 1 spoke to the LVN 6 directly on
1/28/2026.During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 2:48 PM with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated LVN 3 had not received
any report [from previous shifts] about Resident 64's eye redness and LVN 3 was not sure when the
redness started. LVN 3 stated LVN 3 did not see Resident 64's eyes earlier in the shift. LVN 3 stated MD 1
had not been notified of Resident 64's eye redness. LVN 3 stated the nurse [LVN 6] who received the initial
report from FM 1 should have notified Resident 64's doctor to rule out a potential infection.During a review
of Resident 64's Progress Notes (PN), dated 1/27/2026 to 1/28/2026, there was no documented evidence
indicating MD 1 was informed of Resident 64's eye redness.During a review of Resident 64's Situation
Background Assessment Recommendation [SBAR] Communication Form and progress note (SBAR),
dated 1/29/2026, timed at 2:30 PM, the SBAR indicated Resident 64 had redness and white discharge on
the left eye.During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change in a
Resident's Condition or Status, the P&P indicated the facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her
attending physician, and the resident representative of changes in the resident's medical/ mental condition
and/or status. The P&P indicated a significant change of condition, is a major decline or improvement in the
resident's status that: a. will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing

Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's
ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure adequate indications for psychotropic medication
(medication used to treat mental health disorders [conditions that affect thinking, feeling, mood, and
behavior]) use and failed to ensure specific psychotropic medication behavior monitoring (tracking
expressions or indications of distress) was completed for two of five sampled residents (Residents 7 and
64).These failures had the potential to result in unmet medical, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs
(the emotional and social requirements that individuals must have to feel safe, supported, and capable of
functioning well in their environment) to Residents 7 and 64 and had the potential to result in Residents 7
and 64 receiving unnecessary medications.Findings:
a.During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted
Resident 7 on 1/3/2026 with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities) and unspecified psychosis (a severe mental health condition in which thought, and
emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality) not due to a substance or known physiological
condition (the body's natural, healthy operating state).
During a review of Resident 7's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/4/2026, the H&P indicated Resident 7
did not have decision making capacities.
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/15/2026,
the MDS indicated Resident 7's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) skills for daily
decision making were moderately impaired (makes poor decisions requiring cues or supervision). The MDS
indicated Resident 7 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing, toileting, showering, sitting
to lying, and lying to sitting on the side of bed, partial assist with upper body dressing and oral hygiene,
supervision assistance with eating, and was dependent with chair and toilet transfers.
During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 1/29/2026, the OSR
indicated the following physician orders:
1.Quetiapine fumarate (medication used to treat mental health disorders) 25 milligrams (mg- a unit of
measurement) for psychosis manifested by agitation (a feeling of irritability, mental distress, or severe
restlessness) with a start date of 1/16/2026
2.Monitor behavior for psychosis manifested by agitation and tally by hashmark (marking vertical lines for
each item on the medication administration record) for quetiapine use with a start date of 1/15/2026.
During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 11:57 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, LVN 4 stated
agitation could be manifested by many different behaviors. LVN 4 stated it was important to monitor specific
behaviors [e.g., could include: pacing, fidgeting, irritability, restlessness, muscle tension, shouting, or
hostility] for Resident 7 to ensure Resident 7 received the correct amount of medication and if Resident 7
did not exhibit the specific behaviors, the facility could lower the medication's dose.

psychotropic medications, behavior manifestation had to be specific for the resident (in general). The DON
stated [manifested by agitation as indicated in the OSR] was not a specific indication for [psychotropic]
medication use for Resident 7. The DON stated it was important to address the Resident's specific medical
needs to ensure Resident 7 received the proper medical care.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic Medication
[medications used to manage symptoms of psychosis] Use, the P&P's policy statement indicated,
Antipsychotic medications may be considered for residents with dementia but only after medical, physical,
functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric, social and environmental causes of behavioral symptoms
have been identified and addressed. The P&P's policy interpretation and implementation indicated,
Residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which
they are indicated and effective. The attending physician will identify, evaluate, and document with input
from other disciplines and consultants as needed, symptoms that may warrant the use of antipsychotic
medications.
b. During a review of Resident 64's AR, the AR indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition that occurs later in life and worsens with
time in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory loss, physical decline, and confusion).
During a review of Resident 64's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 64's cognition was
severely impaired, and Resident 64 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for activities of daily
living.
During a review of Resident 64's OSR, dated active as of 1/30/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 64 had a
physician order for Olanzapine (medication used to treat schizophrenia [a long term severe mental disorder
affecting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, often causing them to lose touch with reality] or bipolar
disorder [a long term mental condition characterized by extreme, often disabling, shifts in mood, energy,
and activity levels]) give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for bipolar disorder manifested by manic episodes
(periods of abnormally, persistently elevated, or irritable mood and extremely high energy, lasting at least a
week or requiring hospitalization) with start date 1/19/2026.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/2026 at 12:15 PM with LVN 3, Resident 64's
physician order for Olanzapine was reviewed. LVN 3 stated manic episodes could mean screaming,
striking, and acting out of control. LVN 3 stated the order did not indicate a specific behavior presented by
Resident 64 and another staff member could have a different idea of how manic episodes were presented.
LVN 3 stated the behavior listed in the physician order should be specific to make it clear to all staff what
Resident 64 was doing [specific behaviors] and to ensure accurate [behavior] tracking.
During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:22 PM with the DON, the DON stated Resident 64's order for
Olanzapine did not indicate a specific behavior [or indication for use] to monitor. The DON stated it was
important to indicate specific behavior [and indication for medication use] for staff to know what to monitor
and to help ensure Resident 64 was on the correct medication.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, undated, the P&P indicated
residents will only receive antipsychotic medications when necessary to treat specific conditions for which

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan (CP) for
one of one sampled resident (Resident 57), who was on hospice care (care designed to give supportive
care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness with a focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than
a cure).This deficient practice had the potential to result in unmet individualized needs for Resident 57 and
the potential to affect the resident's physical and psychosocial well-being.Findings:During a review of
Resident 57's admission Record (AR) indicated Resident 57 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including chronic kidney disease (a long-term condition where the kidneys become damaged
and gradually lose their ability to filter waste and extra fluid from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins),
atrial fibrillation (a rapid chaotic, and irregular heartbeat), muscle weakness, hypertension (HTN - high
blood pressure), and thrombophilia (a tendency for the blood to clot easily due to an imbalance in clotting
proteins).During a review of Resident 57's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/29/2025, the H&P
indicated Resident 57 did not have decision making capacities. During a review of Resident 57's CP,
initiated 12/1/2025, the CP indicated Resident 57 had the potential for nutritional problems related to
hospice care.During a review of Resident 57's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated
12/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 57's cognitive (the ability to think and process information) was
severely impaired. The MDS indicated the Resident 57 was totally dependent on staff for transfers and toilet
use, and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing, and hygiene.During a review of
Resident 57's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 12/13/2025, the OSR indicated a
physician's order, dated 12/13/2025, for Resident 57 to be admitted to hospice under MD (Medical Doctor)
care on routine level of care with primary diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease (various heart conditions
caused by long term high blood pressure).During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/30/2026 at
11:58 AM, with the MDS Coordinator (MDSC), the MDSC stated the MDSC could not find a hospice CP for
Resident 57 that included the most recent hospice plan of care. The MDSC stated [developing] a hospice
CP was important because the CP showed how to care for Resident 57 and [helped with] communication
with the staff [to follow the] plan of care for the resident.During a review of the facility's revised policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Hospice Program revised July 2017, the P&P indicated coordinated care plans for
residents receiving hospice services will include the most recent hospice plan of care as well as the care
and services provided by our facility (including the responsible provider and discipline assigned to specific
tasks) in order to maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to revise the Care Plan (CP, a form where one can summarize
a person's health conditions, specific care need, and current treatments) related to gastrostomy tube
(G-tube, a small flexible tube placed through the skin of the abdomen directly into the stomach) and
nutrition for one of one sampled resident (Resident 6) after Resident 6's g-tube was removed.This failure
had the potential for Resident 6 not to receive necessary care or services related to the removal of the
g-tube. Findings: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to revise Resident 6's CP related
to G-tube and nutrition after Resident 6's g-tube was removed.During a review of Resident 6's admission
Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses
including dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase (a swallowing disorder affecting the mouth and throat) and heart
failure (the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively.)During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data
Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 6
had intact cognition (ability to understand and process information) and required partial or moderate
assistance (helper does less than half of the effort) for toileting and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 6
had a feeding tube on admission and received 26-50% of total calories through the feeding tube.During a
review of Resident 6's Care Plan Report (CPR) initiated [DATE], the CPR indicated Resident 6 had a
nutritional problem or potential nutritional problem related to g-tube feeding and other co-morbidities (two or
more illnesses or health conditions existing in the same person at the same time.) The CPR interventions
included for staff to explain and reinforce to the resident the importance of maintaining the diet
ordered.During a review of Resident 6's Care Plan Report (CPR) dated [DATE], the CPR indicated
Resident 6 was admitted to the facility with G-tube site on abdomen. The goal on the CPR indicated the
facility will maintain without complications until next review date, [DATE].During a review of Resident 6's
Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of [DATE] the OSR indicated a physician order for regular
diet, soft and bite sized texture, regular consistency, and double protein with start date [DATE]. The OSR
also indicated a physician order to have skilled wound care remove gastrostomy tube with order date
[DATE].During an interview on [DATE] at 12:03 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated
LVN 3 could not find a revision for Resident 6's CP related to g-tube. LVN 3 stated Resident 6's CP related
to g-tube should have been revised when the g-tube was removed to ensure the g-tube site was monitored
for healing and signs of infection. LVN 3 also stated Resident 6's CP related to nutrition should have been
revised when Resident 6's g-tube was removed because Resident 6's diet had changed.During an
interview on [DATE] at 1:30 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 6's CPs
should have been revised when the g-tube was removed to indicate Resident 6's current nutritional status
and help direct Resident 6's treatment.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, undated the P&P indicated the interdisciplinary team must
review and update the care plan: a. when there has been a significant change in the resident's condition.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to justify a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD, an illness in
which the patient goes back and forth between opposite extremes such as high and low levels of mood) for
one of one sampled Resident (Resident 64) based on a comprehensive assessment Resident 64 as
indicated in the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Antipsychotic [a class of psychiatric medications
primarily used to manage psychosis symptoms] Medication Use.This failure had the potential for Resident
64 to receive unnecessary treatment and/or services and the potential to result in a physical decline to
Resident 64.Findings:During a review of Resident 64's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident
64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition
that occurs later in life and worsens with time in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory
loss, physical decline, and confusion), dementia (a gradual decline in mental ability usually caused by a
brain disease, such as Alzheimer's), and BPD.During a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (MDS a resident assessment tool), dated 1/23/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 64's cognition (ability to
understand and process information) was severely impaired and Resident 64 was dependent (helper does
all the effort) on staff for activities of daily living. The MDS indicated a diagnosis of BPD.During a review of
Resident 64's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/17/2026, and signed by Resident 64's Medical Doctor
(MD) 1, the H&P indicated Resident 64 had dementia/ Alzheimer's with worsening behavioral issues.During
a review of Resident 64's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 1/30/2026, the OSR indicated
Resident 64 had a physician order for olanzapine, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for BPD
manifested by manic episodes (a period of abnormally high energy, elevated or irritable mood, and
increased activity, lasting at least a week, that significantly disrupt daily life and functioning) with start date
1/19/2026.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 12:15 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3
stated upon admission, Resident 64 presented with agitation: screaming, yelling out, and striking at staff.
LVN 3 stated Resident 64 was also resistant to care like showering. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 was taking
olanzapine for BPD manifested by manic episodes which LVN 3 described as screaming, striking, and
acting out of control. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 also had an active urinary tract infection (UTI, common
infection in the urine caused by bacteria entering the urinary system) on admission and that could have
been a possible cause of Resident 64's behavior. LVN 3 stated Resident 64 is calmer and more cooperative
now compared to behavior noted on admission.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:11 PM with Resident
64's physician (Medical Doctor [MD]) 1, MD 1 stated Resident 64 did not have a diagnosis of BPD the
facility might have added the diagnosis of BPD by mistake. MD 1 stated Resident 64 was taking olanzapine
at home and MD 1 continued the medication at the facility due to Resident 64's history of Alzheimer's with
psychosis. MD 1 stated MD 1 planned to discontinue the medication because Resident 64 was doing well
at the facility.During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:22 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated the medications a resident presented with on admission did not always list the indication for
medication use. The DON stated, upon admission, the admitting nurse (in general) tried to find a diagnosis
to correlate to the medication if the diagnosis was not already indicated [in the admission records]. The
DON stated the admitting nurse (unidentified) made a mistake writing bipolar disorder as the indication for
Resident 64's olanzapine medication [in Resident 64's OSR].During a review of the facility's undated P&P
titled, Antipsychotic Medication Use, the P&P indicated antipsychotic medications may be considered for
residents with dementia but only after medical, physical, functional, psychological, emotional psychiatric,

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 a resident's low air loss (LAL composed of multiple inflatable air tubes that alternately inflate and deflate, mimicking the movement of a
patient shifting in bed or being rotated by a caregiver, never leaving the patient in one position for any
extended length of time) mattress was set to the correct setting for one of one sample resident (Resident
5).This deficient practice placed Resident 5 at risk for discomfort and the potential for developing pressure
ulcers.During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 5 was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included encounter for palliative care (a specialized
medical care for people living with a serious illness, focused on relieving symptoms, pain, and stress to
improve quality of life for both the patient and their families), Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of
the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), malaise (a
general, vague feeling of being unwell, uncomfortable, or off, often described as a lack of energy or the
blahs) and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (a condition where damage to the brain, spinal cord,
or nerves disrupts the signals required for proper bladder function) among other diagnoses.During a review
of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/25/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 5 had a
diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized
assessment and care screening tool), dated 11/28/2025, the MDS indicated the resident was severely
impaired in cognitive (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through
thought, experience, and senses) skills. The MDS also indicated the resident was totally dependent on staff
for transfers, toilet use and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing and hygiene.During a
review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 1/27/2026, the OSR indicated Resident 5 had
a physician's order, dated 7/3/2025, for Resident 5's low air loss mattress to be monitored every shift for
proper functioning and for offloading and pressure relief.During an observation on 1/27/2026 at 9:24 AM, in
Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was asleep in bed. Resident 5's LAL mattress was on and the setting was at
450 pounds (lbs. unit used to measure weight and mass).During a concurrent interview and record review
on 1/27/2026 at 9:30 AM, with License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated that Resident 5 had a
physician's order for LAL mattress and for staff to check the LAL for pressure relief and monitoring for
proper functioning every shift. LVN 2 stated he had not checked the Resident 5's LAL mattress and he is on
his way to check the LAL mattress. LVN 2 checked the LAL mattress and stated it was set for 450 lbs. and
locked. LVN 2 stated the red sticker on top of the machine indicates 150 lbs. as the corrected setting. LVN 2
changed the LAL mattress's setting to the weight of 150 lbs. LVN 2 stated that at the setting of 450 lbs., the
mattress is too firm for Resident 5 and the firmness can cause pressure injuries and redness to Resident
5's skin. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Prevention of Pressure Injuries,
revised on April 2020, the P&P indicated to select appropriate support surfaces based the resident's risk
factors, in accordance with current clinical practice.

with bathing, dressing, and using the toilet. During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 9:06 AM with Resident 3,
Resident 3 stated medication was not applied to their sacral area yesterday (1/28/2026).During a
concurrent interview and record review on 1/29/2026 at 9:41 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse/Treatment
Nurse (LVN 2), Resident 3's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 1/28/2026, was reviewed. The
MAR indicated LVN 2 administered the zinc ointment to Resident 3's sacral area. LVN 2 stated they
checked off the medication as given, even though it was not given. LVN 2 stated they are not supposed to
do that. LVN 2 stated checking off medications that are not given can cause harm to a resident, by delaying
care, delaying wound healing, or potentially developing another wound.

4 grams BID) for pain management and tizanidine 2 mg BID for muscle spasms. MD will be assessing the
resident for effectiveness of therapy and will evaluate whether does reduction or adjustments are
warranted. NNO as of now. Will continue to monitor.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/29/2026 at 1:55 PM, with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated she was unable to find the MD assessment for effectiveness and evaluation if the
dose reduction or adjustment is warranted as per the MRR pharmacist recommendations. This surveyor
observed the DON look through the hospice binder, physical chart and medical records.
During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 2:37 PM, with the DON, the DON stated that the importance of the
MRR is to know if the medication we are giving is still suitable for the patient and if she is getting the right
medication and dose based on the recommendation of the pharmacist. Moving forward we will ask the MD
when we should be following up with them or if the recommendation is still no new order.

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 the resident did not store medications
in their room for one of three residents (Resident 3). This failure had the potential to place Resident 3 at risk
for unsafe self-administration of medication, which could result in skin irritation, systemic absorption (the
process by which medication is absorbed into the bloodstream) and contamination. Findings: During review
of Resident 3's face sheet, the face sheet indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnosis including but not limited to: arthritis (pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints), right knee infection,
muscle weakness, and morbid obesity. During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Assessment
(MDS-standardized assessment screening tool), dated 12/11/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 required
partial assistance from the nursing staff with bathing, dressing, and using the toilet. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 1/28/2026 at 12:15 PM with Resident 3, in Resident 3's room, there were
several medication ointments found in the resident's closet: bacitracin zinc (used to prevent infection in skin
wounds), Activon (promotes faster healing of the skin), and clotrimazole cream (used to treat fungus
infection of the skin). Resident 3 stated the medications were provided by facility and are kept in their
closet. During an interview on 1/29/2026 at 9:42 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse/Treatment Nurse (LVN
2), LVN 2 stated the medications left in the resident's room are not supposed to be there. LVN 2 stated they
are unsure why the medications are there and does not know who provided them to Resident 3. During
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of medications, dated November 2020, the
P&P indicated drugs and biologicals used at the facility are to be stored in locked compartments. Only
authorized staff may have access to locked medications.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure accurate and complete documentation in the
medical records for two of two residents (Residents 5 and 64) by:Failing to include Resident 5's diagnosis
for diabetes on Resident 5's admission Record (AR).Indicating a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BPD, an
illness in which the patient goes back and forth between opposite extremes such as high and low levels of
mood) for Resident 64 on the AR and the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident
assessment tool) without verification from Resident 64's medical record or confirmation with Resident 64's
Medical Doctor (MD).These deficient practices resulted in incomplete/inaccurate medical records for
Residents 5 and 64, and had the potential for Resident 5 and 64 to receive inappropriate nursing care and
services due to the missing and inaccurate diagnoses on the residents' medical records. Findings:
A. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the resident was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included encounter for palliative care (a specialized
medical care for people living with a serious illness, focused on relieving symptoms, pain, and stress to
improve quality of life for both the patient and their families), Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of
the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), malaise (a
general, vague feeling of being unwell, uncomfortable, or off, often described as a lack of energy or the
blahs) and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (a condition where damage to the brain, spinal cord,
or nerves disrupts the signals required for proper bladder function) among other diagnoses.
During a review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/25/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
5 had a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a standardized assessment and care
screening tool), dated 11/28/2025, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the
mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and
senses) skills the daily decision making. The MDS also indicated the resident was totally dependent on staff
for transfers, and toilet use and required extensive assistance with bed mobility, dressing and hygiene.
During an interview on 1/28/2026 at 10:35 AM with Licensed Vocation Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated
Resident 5 is receiving insulin with a sliding scale for Humalog Lispro (a fast-acting, man-made insulin used
to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes) for diabetes. LVN 3 was not able to see a
diagnosis for diabetes for Resident 5 on Resident 5's facesheet.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/28/2026 at 10:41 AM with the DON, the DON stated,
Resident 5 is receiving Humalog Lispro for a diagnosis of diabetes since Resident 5 was admitted to the
facility. The DON reviewed Resident 5's facesheet and did not see a diagnosis for diabetes on Resident 5's
facesheet. The DON reviewed Resident 5's most recent H&P dated 3/25/2025 and the H&P indicated the
resident had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. The DON stated it is importance to have the diagnosis of
diabetes on Resident 5's facesheet for staff to see the condition of the resident and that the diagnosis could
correlate with the medication that the resident is taking.

or potential for actual harm
(MDSC), the H&P dated 3/25/2025 was reviewed. The MDSC stated Resident 5's H&P listed the diagnosis
of diabetes but the MDSC could not recall what happened a year ago and why the diagnosis on diabetes
was not on Resident 1's facesheet. The MDSC stated the diagnosis is part of Resident 5's medical record
and the nursing team needed to make sure the diagnosis is being addressed as well as managed the plan
of care.
Residents Affected - Some
B. During a review of Resident 64's AR, the AR indicated Resident 64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a condition that occurs later in life and worsens with
time in which brain cells degenerate; it is accompanied by memory loss, physical decline, and confusion)
and bipolar disorder (BPD, an illness in which the patient goes back and forth between opposite extremes
such as high and low levels of mood.)
During a review of Resident 64's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 64 had severely
impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information) and was dependent (helper does all the
effort) on staff for activities of daily living. The MDS also indicated a diagnosis of BPD.
During a review of Resident 64's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/17/2026 and signed by Resident 64's
Medical Doctor (MD), the H&P did not indicate a diagnosis for BPD.
During a review of Resident 64's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated active as of 1/30/2026, the OSR
indicated Resident 64 had a physician order for Olanzapine (medication used to treat schizophrenia or
bipolar disorder) give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for BPD manifested by manic episodes with start
date 1/19/2026.
During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:11 PM with Resident 64's Medical Doctor (MD), the MD stated
Resident 64 did not have a diagnosis of BPD and the inclusion of the BPD diagnosis was likely entered by
the admitting nurse as a mistake.
During an interview on 1/30/2026 at 2:26 PM with the MDSC, the MDSC stated Resident 64's BPD
diagnosis was included in the MDS and AR based on Resident 64's active medication for olanzapine. The
MDSC stated the MDSC was acting in good faith that Resident 64's MD had reviewed the medications and
agreed with the indicated diagnoses. The MDSC stated it was important to ensure a resident's diagnoses
are correct for the facility to be able to provide for the resident's needs.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documentation, dated
7/2017 the P&P indicated documentation in the medical record will be objective (not opinionated or
speculative), complete and accurate.
