**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that maintained or
enhanced a resident`s dignity and respect in full recognition of their individuality when Certified Nursing
Assistant 1 (CNA 1) was standing over a resident while assisting the resident during a meal for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 25).
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the resident`s psychosocial wellbeing and loss
of dignity.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated that the
facility originally admitted the resident on 9/3/2020, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including
absolute glaucoma (a condition marked by complete vision loss and uncontrolled eye pressure), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 11/14/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made
decisions). The MDS indicated that Resident 25 was dependent to staff (helper does all of the effort) for
eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering and bathing, upper and lower body dressing, putting
on/talking off footwear, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 25's Nutritional Care Assessment Form dated 5/3/2024, the assessment form
indicated that the resident was dependent to staff for eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 8:30 a.m., inside Resident 25`s room,
Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) was standing over Resident 25 while feeding her. CNA 1 stated that
she always stands over residents and feed them because it is easier for her.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 8:40 a.m. with the facility`s Director of
Nursing (DON), inside Resident 25`s room, observed CNA1 standing over Resident 25 while assisting her
with her breakfast. The DON stated staff are required to assist residents with feeding in a sitting position to
promote the resident's dignity.
During a review of facility`s Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Resident`s Dignity, last reviewed 1/15/2025,
the P&P indicated each resident shall be cared for in manner that promotes and enhances

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the call light (an alerting
device for nurses to assist a patient when in need) was within a resident`s reach while in bed for one of one
sampled resident (Resident 18) reviewed under the environment task.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 18 not being able to call for facility staff
assistance and delay in the provision of necessary care and services that can negatively affect resident's
comfort and well-being
Findings:
During a review of Resident 18's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated that the
facility admitted the resident on 10/9/2020, with diagnoses including vascular dementia (impaired ability to
remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), major depressive
disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and anxiety
disorder (a condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear).
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 2/7/2025,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made
decisions). The MDS indicated that Resident 18 was dependent to staff (helper does all of the effort) for
toileting hygiene, showering and bathing, lower body dressing, putting on/talking off footwear, and personal
hygiene.
During a review of Resident 18's care plan (written guide that organizes information about the resident's
care) for communication problem related to dementia initiated on 10/16/2020 and last revised on 2/10/2025,
the care plan indicated a goal that the resident`s need will be rendered daily through review date. The care
plan interventions were to ensure that the resident`s environment is safe, and the call light is answered
promptly (immediately).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2025 at 6:43 p.m., inside Resident 18`s room, the
resident was observed sitting on her bed with her call light hanging on the wall behind her head. Resident
18 stated that there is a button she presses when she needs help, and she started searching for it.
Resident 18 was not able to find the call light and stated sometimes she screams for help.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2025 at 6:45 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2
(LVN 2) inside Resident 18`s room, LVN 2 stated that Resident 18's call light was hung on the wall behind
the resident`s head away from her reach. LVN 2 stated the call light should be always within the resident's
reach so she can call for help.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:04 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
residents` call lights are required to be accessible to the residents at all times. The DON stated the potential
outcome of staff not placing the call lights within residents` reach is the inability of residents to call for help
when they need it.

Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
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 maintain privacy of confidential information for
one of one sampled residents (Resident 48), when Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) left the resident's
electronic health record (EHR- a digital version of a patient's paper chart) open and unattended.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice violated the residents' right to privacy and confidentiality of medical records.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 48's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility initially
admitted Resident 48 on 9/11/2023 with diagnoses including body myositis( IMB- a muscle disease where
muscles gradually weaken over time due to the build-up of abnormal protein clumps inside the muscle
fiber), generalized anxiety disorder (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), and
essential hypertension (a condition in which blood pressure is higher than [NAME]).
During a review of Resident 48's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 12/2/2024, the MDS indicated that the resident had intact cognition (undamaged mental
abilities, including remembering things, making decisions, concentrating, or learning). The MDS further
indicated that Resident 48 required moderate-to-maximal assistance of one-to-two helpers for showering,
toileting and personal hygiene, dressing and chair-to-bed transfer, and was not able to walk.
During a concurrent medication pass observation and interview on 2/16/2025 at 8:02 a.m., in the main
dining room, observed Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) left the computer screen open, displaying
Resident 8's medication list, while stepping away from the medication cart to administer the resident's
medications. During an interview, LVN 1 stated that she should have ensured that Resident 48`s EHR was
not accessible and open while she stepped away from the medication cart LVN 1 stated that it is a violation
of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to have the resident's health information
visible to unauthorized persons.
During a review of The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, it indicated the
HIPAA Security Rule protects specific information cover the Privacy Rule law applies fully to nursing homes,
requiring them to protect the privacy of residents' health information (PHI) by implementing appropriate
safeguards, including technical, administrative, and physical measures to prevent unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure of this information, particularly electronic protected health information (ePHI).
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Data Privacy and Security, last reviewed
on 1/15/2025, the policy indicated that the policy outlines the requirements and guidelines for ensuring the
privacy and security of sensitive data within the healthcare organization`s IT systems .

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 3. During a
review of Resident 45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility admitted the
resident on 12/25/2024, with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness
and loss of interest), lack of coordination, and repeated falls.
During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/31/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was moderately impaired (decisions poor,
cues/supervision required). The MDS indicated that Resident 45 was dependent on the staff (helper does
all of the effort) for showering and bathing. The MDS indicated that Resident 45 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper does less than half effort) for toileting hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, and
personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 45's Physician`s Order Summary Report dated 1/2/2025, the Physician`s
Order Summary Report indicated an order for Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA- nursing aide program
that helps residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) program for ambulation with hand-held
assistance every day, five times a week as tolerated during day shift.
During a review of Resident 45's Restorative Treatment Record (program that help residents to maintain
their function and joint mobility) dated 1/3/2025- 2/14/2025, the record did not indicate any entries for
treatment.
During a review of Resident 45`s care plans, the care plans did not indicate a documented evidence of a
comprehensive care plan with goals and person-centered interventions addressing Resident 45`s RNA
program.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 9:37 a.m., with MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1),
Resident 45`s physician orders, care plans, and restorative treatment records were reviewed. MDSN 1
stated Resident 45`s physician ordered for RNA ambulation program every day, five times a week on
1/2/2025. MDSN1 stated Resident 45`s restorative treatment records dated 1/3/2025-2/14/2025 did not
indicate any entries for treatment. MDSN1 stated that she (MDSN 1) is unsure if Resident 45 received RNA
treatment during that time. MDSN 1 further indicated that licensed staff did not develop a comprehensive
care plan with person-centered interventions for the resident`s RNA program. MDSN 1 stated a care plan
with person-centered intervention is required to monitor Resident 45`s ROM improvement. MDSN 1 stated
the potential outcome of not developing a person-centered care plan with goal and intervention is the lack
of care and the inability to implement the specific services and monitoring that resident requires.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 11:51 a.m., with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 45`s RNA ambulation task log dated 1/20/2024-2/14/2025 was reviewed.
The DOR stated that he referred Resident 45 to begin an RNA ambulation program after the resident was
discharged from physical therapy treatment. The DOR stated Resident 45`s physician ordered RNA
program for ambulation with hand-held assistance every day, five times a week as tolerated during day shift
on 1/2/2025. However, Resident 45 did not receive any RNA ambulation treatment since 1/3/2025. The
DOR stated licensed staff did not develop a comprehensive care plan with person-centered

interventions for the resident`s RNA program. The DOR stated a care plan with person-centered
intervention is required to monitor Resident 45`s ROM and ambulation. The DOR stated the potential
outcome of not developing a person-centered care plan with goal and intervention is the lack of care and
the inability to implement the specific services and monitoring that resident requires.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated licensed
staff are required to develop a person-centered care plan based on the residents` needs and identified
problems. The DON stated licensed staff did not develop a care plan with goal and interventions for
Resident 45`s RNA treatment. The DON stated that the potential outcome of not developing a care plan
with goal and interventions is the inability to monitor for decline or improvement in the resident`s condition,
resulting in inadequate care for the resident.
During review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plan-Comprehensive, last reviewed
1/15/2025, the P&P indicated that the facility`s care planning/Interdisciplinary Team, in coordination with the
resident, his/her family or representative, develops and maintains care plan for each resident that identifies
the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. Each resident`s comprehensive care
plan is designed to incorporate identified problem areas, risk factors associated with identified problems,
reflect treatment goal, timetables and objectives in measurable outcomes. Care plans are reviewed by the
care planning team at least quarterly. The Interdisciplinary team will review the attending physician`s orders
(e.g. dietary needs, medications, and routine treatments, etc.) and implement a nursing care plan to meet
the resident`s immediate care needs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan (CP- a plan for an individual's specific health needs and desired health
outcomes) for three of three sampled residents (Resident 33, 34, and 45) by failing to:
1. a. Monitor Resident 33 for signs and symptoms of bleeding as indicated in the care plan.
This deficient practice placed Resident 33 at risk for undetected blood loss due to lack of monitoring.
1.b. Develop a person-centered Care Plan (CP- a plan for an individual's specific health needs and desired
health outcomes) for Resident 33 who was assessed as high risk for fall.
This deficient practice placed the resident at risk for recurring falls with injuries.
2. Provide Resident 34 with bilateral (both sides) floormats (padding placed on the floor to help prevent
injuries related to falls) as indicated in the care plan.
This deficient practice placed Resident 34 at risk for injury in the event of a fall.
3. Develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan addressing Resident 45`s
Restorative Nursing Assistant program (RNA-nursing aide program that helps residents to maintain their
function and joint mobility).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 45`s inadequate care.

1. During review of Resident 33's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
the resident on 10/31/2024, with diagnoses including history of falling and dementia (a group of thinking
and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning).
During a review of Resident 33's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 11/14/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (the mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) skills for daily
decision making was severely impaired. The resident required substantial/maximal assistance for eating,
oral hygiene, upper body dressing and totally dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, shower, lower body
dressing and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 33`s Order Summary Report, included an order for Apixaban (used to treat and
prevent blood clots) Oral Tablet 5 milligram (mg), to give 1 tablet two times a day for Deep Vein Thrombosis
(a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, typically in the legs), dated 10/31/2024.

individual's medication including, the medication name, dose taken, special instructions and date and time)
for the month of January 2025 and February 2025 and care plans. The CP for Anticoagulant Therapy dated
2/16/2025, indicated a goal that the resident will free be from discomfort or adverse reactions related to
anticoagulant use. The DON stated one of the care plan interventions was to monitor the resident for signs
and symptoms of bleeding. The DON stated that there is no documentation in any of the resident`s clinical
record, including the MAR for January and February 2025 indicating that signs and symptoms of bleeding
were monitored. The DON stated monitoring for signs and symptoms of bleeding is important so that timely
intervention can be implemented such as notifying the provider to obtain an order to continue or hold the
Apixaban. The DON stated that Resident 33 may experience bleeding due to anticoagulant use, and
without monitoring, this could lead into hemorrhage.
During a review of Resident 33`s Care Plan Report for Anticoagulant Therapy, initiated on 11/12/2024 and
last revised on 2/16/2025, the CP goal is for the resident to be free from discomfort or adverse reaction
related to anticoagulant use through the review date. The CP interventions included, but not limited to,
monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding such as easy bruising, syncope (a temporary loss of
consciousness that occurs when the brain does not receive enough blood flow) and hematuria (a condition
where blood is present in the urine).
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Care Plan Policy, last reviewed on 1/15/2025, the
policy and procedure indicated that The comprehensive Care Plan is based through assessment that
includes, but is not limited to, the MDS Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a physician order for a
resident's Low Air Loss Mattress (LALM - a pressure-relieving mattress used to prevent and treat pressure
injuries) setting for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) reviewed under the pressure ulcer/injury
(localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a
medical or other device) care area.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 1 at risk for discomfort and development of
pressure ulcers/injuries.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission record, the admission record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 1 on 4/13/2021 and readmitted the resident on 9/20/2024 with diagnoses including quadriplegia (a
form of paralysis that affects all four limbs, plus the torso), epilepsy (a broad term used for a brain disorder
that causes seizures [may cause loss of consciousness, falls, or massive muscle spasms]), and
Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as
shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and care
screening tool), dated 11/7/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was cognitively severely impaired
(never/rarely made decisions) and was totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan (a document that outlines the actions and interventions needed
to address a resident's health and care needs) initiated on 4/15/2021 and revised on 2/11/2025, the care
plan indicated Resident 1 had potential for impairment to skin integrity (a condition where the skin is
damaged or broken) related to decreased mobility. The care plan indicated an intervention to provide LALM
to Resident 1.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/14/2025 at 7:15 AM, with the Director of Nursing
(DON), in Resident 1's room, the resident's LALM setting was at 350 pounds (lbs. - weight measurement).
The DON stated the LALM was supposed to be set at around 180 lbs. She stated the LALM is an
intervention to promote wound healing and prevent pressure injuries. The DON stated if the LALM is not set
at the correct setting then it will not be effective to prevent further pressure injuries.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/15/2024 at 2:25 PM, with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1
(MDSN1) reviewed Resident 1's physician orders for 2/2025. MDSN 1 stated that there was no physician
order for Resident 1 to use the LALM. MDSN 1 reviewed Resident1's chart and stated an order was initially
placed on 2/22/2022 to use a LALM for skin integrity but was discontinued on 9/24/2024 when Resident 1
was transferred to the hospital. MDSN 1 stated a licensed nurse should have called the physician to renew
the order for Resident 1's LALM. MDSN 1 stated the LALM setting should be set according to Resident 1's
weight, which was 180 lbs., to be effective in maintaining the resident's skin integrity.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Policy and Procedure on Pressure Ulcer, dated
1/152025, the policy and procedure indicated, A program of prevention, care and treatment of pressure
ulcers is carried out all residents to prevent skin breakdown and promote healing

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident
45) received treatment and services to prevent decrease in range of motion (ROM- full movement potential
of a joint) by failing to Provide Restorative Nursing exercises as ordered by the physician.
This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident in further decline of her range of motion and
developing contractures (condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often
leading to deformity and rigidity of joints).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility
admitted the resident on 12/25/2024, with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of
decline in mental abilities), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of
sadness and loss of interest), lack of coordination, and repeated falls.
During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/31/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was moderately impaired (decisions poor,
cues/supervision required). The MDS indicated that Resident 45 was dependent on the staff (helper does
all of the effort) for showering and bathing. The MDS indicated that Resident 45 required staff
partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half effort) for toileting hygiene, upper and lower body
dressing, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 45's Physician Order Summary Report dated 1/2/2025, it indicated an order for
Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA- nursing aide program that helps residents to maintain their function
and joint mobility) program for ambulation with hand-held assistance every day, five times a week as
tolerated during day shift.
During a review of Resident 45's Restorative Treatment Record (program that help residents to maintain
their function and joint mobility) dated 1/3/2025- 2/14/2025, the record did not indicate any entries for
treatment.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 9:37 a.m., with MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1),
Resident 45`s physician orders, care plans, and restorative treatment records were reviewed. MDSN1
stated Resident 45`s physician ordered for Resident 45 to have an RNA ambulation program every day, five
times a week on 1/2/2025. MDSN1 stated Resident 45`s restorative treatment records dated
1/3/2025-2/14/2025 did not indicate any entries for treatment. MDSN1 stated that she (MDSN1) is unsure if
Resident 45 received RNA treatment during that time.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/16/2025 at 11:51 a.m., with the Director of
Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 45`s RNA ambulation task log dated 1/20/2024-2/14/2025 was reviewed.
The DOR stated that he referred Resident 45 to begin an RNA ambulation program after the resident was
discharged from physical therapy treatment. The DOR stated that he was the one who placed an order for
RNA ambulation. However, due an error in his computer entry, the RNA ambulation task was scheduled for
the night shift instead of day shift resulting in night shift nurses documenting the

RNA ambulation treatment since 1/3/2025. The DOR stated that he evaluated Resident 45 on 2/14/2025,
and the resident will have physical therapy three times a week for four weeks thereafter. The DOR stated
the potential outcome of not providing RNA treatment as ordered by the physician to a resident is decline in

During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 2:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
Resident 45 has not received RNA ambulation treatment as ordered by her physician since 1/3/2025. The
DON stated the potential outcome of not providing RNA treatment to a resident is the decline in ADLs and
decrease in ROM.
During review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, RNA Services, last reviewed 1/15/2025, the
P&P indicated that it is the policy of the facility to provide range of motion and other activities during routine
care and upon order for a resident in the RNA program. It is the policy of the facility to transition residents
from therapy to RNA programs if indicated and pursuant to physician orders. RNA services will be per
physician orders. For RNA ambulation or standing activities, any devices to be used may be included in

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment
was free of accident hazards for two of eight residents (Resident 20 and 49) reviewed under the Accidents
care area by failing to:
1. Ensure the television in the Resident 20's room is strapped or bolted to prevent it from falling.
2. Ensure licensed nurses did not leave Resident 20's medications at bedside and unattended. Resident 49
was not capable of self-administration of medications.
These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for injury and harm.
Findings:
1. During review of Resident 20's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
the resident on 01/23/2023, with diagnoses including gastro esophageal reflux disease (a digestive disease
in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining) and Alzheimer`s disease (a progressive disease
that destroys memory and other important mental functions).
During a review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 09 /30/2024, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (the mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) skills for daily
decision making was severely impaired. The resident required substantial/maximal assistance for eating,
upper body dressing and totally dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower, lower body
dressing and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 02/15/25 at 10:14 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), in the resident's room, observed Resident 20`s television on top of a drawer cabinet with no strap or
any anchor to prevent the television from falling. The DON stated that televisions in the residents` rooms
should be secured with a strap to prevent it from falling, resulting to resident injury.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Television Policy, last reviewed on 1/15/2025, the
policy indicated that All televisions must be securely mounted or placed on stable surfaces to prevent
tipping or falling .in case of an emergency, ensure that television is secured to prevent falling .
2. During review of Resident 49 admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 02/08/2023 and readmitted the resident on 05/15/2023, with diagnoses including
emphysema (a long-term lung condition that causes shortness of breath) and rheumatoid arthritis (a
chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints).
During a review of Resident 49's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 01 /30/2025, the MDS indicated the resident's cognitive (the mental action or process of

During a concurrent observation and interview on 02/14/25 at 07:04 p.m., with the Director of Nursing, in
the resident's room, the DON confirmed that there was a white round pill in a medication cup on the meal
tray. The DON stated Resident 49`s medication is administered by the nurses since the resident does not
have the capacity to self-administer medications based on their assessment criteria. The DON stated that
nurses should not leave the medications with the residents so they can observe the residents taking their
medications. The DON stated there is a potential for the resident to choke on the medication because the
resident was not assessed as capable to self-administer medications.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedure titled Policy and Procedure for Self-Administration,,
last reviewed on 1/15/2025, the policy indicated that Resident who desire to self-administer medications are

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 13) with an
indwelling catheter (a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine) received proper care
and services by failing to:
1. Update/revise the care plan (a document outlining a detailed approach to care customized to an
individual resident's need) for Resident 13`s indwelling catheter after 6/3/2024.
2. Implement the care plan intervention of monitoring for sign and symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection
(UTI-an infection in the bladder/urinary tract) such as pain, burning, blood-tinged urine (red or pink urine),
and foul smelling (bad-smelling) urine.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in Resident 13 receiving inadequate care and
supervision at the facility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 13's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated that the
facility admitted the resident on 5/31/2024, with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (impaired ability
to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), benign prostatic
hypertension (BPH-a condition in which the prostate gland grows larger than normal), and uninhibited
neuropathic bladder (lack of bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or nerve problem).
During a review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 12/4/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made
decisions). The MDS indicated that Resident 13 was dependent to staff (helper does all of the effort) for
toileting hygiene, showering and bathing, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/talking off footwear,
eating, and personal hygiene. The MDS further indicated that Resident 13 had an indwelling catheter.
During a review of Resident 13's Physician Order Summary Report dated 10/3/2024, the order summary
report indicated to attach the resident`s indwelling catheter to a bag, change if dislodged (disconnected),
pulled out, or removed.
During a review of Resident 13's care plan for indwelling catheter initiated on 6/3/2024, the care plan
indicated a goal that the resident will remain free from catheter related trauma through review date. The
care plan interventions were to monitor resident`s fluid intake and urine output for 30 days, monitor for sign
and symptoms of discomfort, and to monitor/record and report to the physician sign and symptoms of UTI
such as pain, burning, blood tinged urine, urinary frequency (the need to urinate many times during the
day), foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, and change in behavior and eating patterns.
During a review of Resident 13`s SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation-a
communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents)

Communication Form dated 1/17/2025, the SBAR communication form indicated that Resident 13`s Family
Member 1 (FM1) reported to the nurse that she observed blood inside the resident`s indwelling catheter
bag.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 4:00 p.m., with MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN 1),
Resident 13`s care plans were reviewed. The MDSN 1 stated that she initiated Resident 13`s indwelling
catheter care plan on 6/4/2024. The MDSN 1 stated Resident 13`s indwelling catheter care plan
interventions were all initiated on 6/4/2024, but they have not been revised or updated since then. The
MDSN 1 stated that one of the care plan interventions for Resident 13 was to monitor his fluid intake and
urine output for 30 days. The MDSN 1 stated this intervention was developed upon the resident`s admission
on [DATE] and has been completed. However, this intervention remains as part of the resident`s current
care plan. The MDSN 1 residents` care plans are required to be revised/updated after completion of a care
plan intervention, quarterly, and after resident`s change of condition. The MDSN 1 stated residents` care
plans are required to show the current interventions that are implemented for the resident. The MDSN 1
stated one of Resident 13`s indwelling catheter care plan intervention was to monitor/record and report to
the physician sign and symptoms of UTI. The MDSN 1 stated there is no documentation regarding this
monitoring anywhere in the resident`s chart. The MDSN 1 stated licensed staff are required to monitor
Resident 13`s indwelling catheter for sign and symptoms of infection and document as indicated in his care
plan. The MDSN 1 stated the potential outcome of not revising a resident`s care plan and not implementing
care plan intervention is the inability to provide appropriate care and services to the resident.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Catheter Care-Indwelling urinary Catheter,
last reviewed on 1/15/2025, the P&P indicated a resident with or without a catheter, receives the
appropriate care and services to prevent infections to the extent possible.
During review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plan-Comprehensive, last reviewed
1/15/2025, the P&P indicated that the facility`s care planning/Interdisciplinary Team, in coordination with the
resident, his/her family or representative, develops and maintains care plan for each resident that identifies
the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain. Each resident`s comprehensive care
plan is designed to incorporate identified problem areas, risk factors associated with identified problems,
reflect treatment goal, timetables and objectives in measurable outcomes and reflects currently recognized
standards of practice for problem areas and conditions. Care plans are reviewed by the care planning team
at least quarterly. The Interdisciplinary team will review the attending physician`s orders (e.g. dietary needs,
medications, and routine treatments, etc.) and implement a nursing care plan to meet the resident`s
immediate care needs.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status for one
of one sampled resident (Resident 25) reviewed under the nutrition task, by failing to assess and monitor
the resident after having weight loss.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 25 at risk for further weight loss.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated that the
facility originally admitted the resident on 9/3/2020, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including
absolute glaucoma (a condition marked by complete vision loss and uncontrolled eye pressure), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 11/14/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made
decisions). The MDS indicated that Resident 25 was dependent to staff (helper does all of the effort) for
eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering and bathing, upper and lower body dressing, putting
on/talking off footwear, and personal hygiene. The MDS further indicated that Resident 25 had either a
weight loss of 5% or more within the last month or a weight loss of 10% or more in the last six months.
During a review of Resident 25's Physician Order Summary Report dated 10/24/2024, the order indicated
that the resident should be provided with a fortified (a food that has extra nutrients added to it), mechanical
soft texture diet (a soft food diet focuses on easy digestion and easy chewing) with a nectar thick
consistency fluid (fluids that are thicken than regular fluids, but still pour easily).
During a review of Resident 25`s Nutritional Care Assessment Form dated 5/3/2024, the assessment form
indicated the following:
1.
Resident 25`s diet order was regular mechanical soft diet;
2.
Resident 25`s meal intake percentage was 25-50%; and
3.
Resident 25 did not have any recent weight changes.
The nutritional care assessment form further indicated that the RD would monitor Resident 25`s weight,
meal intakes, and skin condition and will follow up as needed.

Residents Affected - Few
During a review of Resident 25`s SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation-a
communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents)
Communication Form dated 6/5/2024, the SBAR communication form indicated that the resident lost five
pounds (lbs.- a unit of weight) in one month. The SBAR communication form indicated that Resident 25`s
physician recommended the facility's Registered Dietician to evaluate the resident`s weight loss and
changed Resident 25`s order from a regular to a fortified diet.
During a review of Resident 25`s SBAR Communication Form dated 7/4/2024, the SBAR communication
form indicated that the resident lost six lbs. in the last month. The SBAR communication form indicated that
Resident 25`s physician ordered 13 milligrams (mg-a unit of measure of mass) of Remeron (antidepressant
[a type of medication used to treat depression] that can also raise your appetite and put you at risk for
weight gain) by mouth to be administered at nights in order to manage her weight loss.
During a review of Resident 25`s Nutritional Status care plan (written guide that organizes information
about the resident's care) initiated on 4/23/2024 and last revised on 2/13/2025, the care plan indicated a
goal that the resident will tolerate foods provided to her with 75-100% meal intake and will not have
significant weight loss of 5% or more in 30 days or 10% or more in 180 days. The care plan interventions
were to provide the diet as ordered by the physician, assist with feeding as needed, encourage adequate
nutrition and fluid intake, monitor monthly weights and RD to evaluate the resident as needed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 4:35 p.m. with the MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN
1), Resident 25`s physician orders, nutritional assessments and RD notes were reviewed. MDSN 1 stated
that the last time Resident 25 was evaluated by an RD was on 5/3/2024. The MDSN 1 stated that there
were no nutritional assessments or progress notes by RD after Resident 25`s change of conditions for
weight loss on 6/5/2024 and 7/4/2024. The MDSN 1 stated that Resident 25`s physician managed the
resident`s weight loss by changing her diet and adding new medication. However, there is no
documentation regarding management of Resident 25`s weight loss by the facility`s RD in the resident`s
medical record.
During a telephone interview on 2/15/2025 at 5:15 p.m., with the current RD, the RD stated that she started
working in the facility on 10/2024. The RD stated that she works at the facility onsite once a week. The RD
stated that she has never assessed and saw Resident 25 and she does not know anything about the
resident and her weight loss.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 6:00 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 25`s physician orders, nutritional assessments and RD notes were reviewed. The DON
stated that the RD is required to conduct an assessment for residents upon admission, quarterly, and when
the resident loses weight. The DON stated that the last time RD assessed and evaluated Resident 25 was
on 5/4/2024 prior to her significant weight loss. The DON stated that the RD did not perform any nutritional
assessments for Resident 25 after her change of conditions for weight loss on 6/5/2024 and 7/4/2024. The
DON stated that the facility had a high turnover rate for RDs. The DON stated that the high turnover rate
may be the reason that there were no assessments or dietary notes developed by an RD after 5/4/2024 for
Resident 25`s. The DON stated the potential outcome of an RD not assessing a resident`s weight loss is
the inability to detect, care, and manage the increasing weight loss of a resident.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure licensed nurses check for
gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through the abdomen to deliver nutrition and medications directly
to the stomach) placement (verifying that a G-tube, is positioned correctly in the stomach and not in
another location by aspirating stomach contents through the tube using a syringe) before administration of
medications as indicated in the resident's care plan for one of two sampled residents (Resident 4) reviewed
under the Tube Feeding care area.
This deficient practice had the potential to increase Resident 4's risk of aspiration (the accidental inhalation
of foreign material, such as food, liquid into lungs).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 4's admission Record, the Administration Record indicated that the facility
initially admitted Resident 4 on 11/22/2021 and readmitted the resident on 07/02/2023 with diagnoses
including gastrostomy tube, Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable
movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), and atrial fibrillation (a
heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate).
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 1/20/2025, the document indicated that the resident had severely impaired cognition (a severely
damaged mental abilities, including remembering things, making decisions, concentrating, or learning). The
MDS further indicated that Resident 4 was totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
During a review of Resident 4's care plan (a document that outlines the actions and interventions needed to
address a resident's health and care needs) initiated on 11/21/2021 and revised on 1/21/2025, the care
plan indicated that Resident 4 was unable to take food or fluids orally and was at risk for aspiration, The
care plan interventions included to check placement and patency of feeding tube prior to administering
formula, water and medication.
During the review of Resident 47's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated the
following orders:
1.Eliquis (a medication used to treat blood clots) 2.5 milligram (mg - unit of measurement) via G tube two
times a day, dated 11/14/2023.
2.Docusate sodium (a medication used to treat constipation) 100 milligram (mg - unit of measurement) 1
tab via G tube two times a day dated, 03/05/2022.
3.Metoprolol (a medication used to treat high blood pressure) 25 (mg - unit of measurement) 1 tab via G
-Tube two times a day, 11/14/2023.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. During a
review of Resident 11's admission record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 11
on 12/10/2020 and readmitted the resident on 11/25/2024 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis (a
chronic disease that damaged the central nervous system), chronic kidney disease (a condition in which
the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood well), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (a long-term medical
condition in which the body does not use insulin [a hormone that lowers the level of sugar in the blood]
properly).
During a review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a comprehensive assessment and care
screening tool), dated 1/31/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 11 was cognitively severely impaired
(never/rarely made decisions) and was totally dependent on staff on toileting hygiene, shower and lower
body dressing, need supervision with eating and required maximal assistance with oral and personal
hygiene.
During a review of Resident 11's Care Plan (a document that outlines the actions and interventions needed
to address a resident's health and care needs) initiated on 12/15/2020, the Care Plan indicated Resident
11 has a seizure disorder. The Care Plan interventions indicated to protect the resident from injury.
During a review of Resident 11 History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/23/2024, the HP indicated the resident
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of a nursing note dated 02/12/2025, the note indicated that Resident 11 was transferred
from room [ROOM NUMBER]A to room [ROOM NUMBER]A, and responsible party was informed and
agreed.
During an observation on 2/14/2025 at 6:57 PM, in Resident 11's room, the resident was observed in her
bed with bilateral full side rails up.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/15/2025 at 2:25 PM with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1
(MDSN 1), reviewed Resident 11's physician orders. MDSN 1stated that there was no physician order,
assessment or consent for using full bed side rails for Resident 11. MDSN 1 reviewed Resident 1's chart
and stated Resident 11 was transferred from another room on 01/12/2025 to current room and probably
was accidently put in a bed with full side rails. MDSN 1 stated placing a resident in a bed with full side rails
without a physician's order, consent and assessment put Resident 11 at risk for entrapment and injury.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/15/ 2025 at 7 PM, the DON stated using a
bed with full side rails bed without assessment and physician order can lead to resident injury and
entrapment.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Policy and Procedure Restrains (Physical),
dated 1/15/2025, the policy and procedure indicated: Physician restraints are defined as any manual
method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's
body that the individual cannot remove easily which restricts freedom of movement or normal access to
one's body .Assess resident's needs for restrain. Obtain physician order for restrain.

During a review of the facility`s policy and procedures titled Policy Side Rails, last reviewed on 1/15/2025,
the facility indicated that The policy for the use of side rails are as follows: Entrapment Assessment: If the
bed rails are used for any reason, an assessment must be completed and documented. This assessment
should be conducted at least semiannually, whenever the mattress is changed or an overlay is added, when
new rails are installed, or when new resident occupies the bed. These assessments are maintained
separately from the clinical record .
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess residents for risk of
entrapment (when a resident is trapped in the spaces in between or around the bed rails [adjustable metal
or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed that are available in a variety of types, shapes, and sizes],
mattress, or bed frame), obtained an informed consent and a physician order for the use of bed rails for two
of eight residents (Resident 14 and 50) reviewed under the Accidents care area and for one of one
(Resident 11) resident reviewed under the Restraints care area.
These deficient practices placed the residents at risk for potential accidents such as a body part being
caught between the rails, falls if a resident attempts to climb over, around, between, or through the rails and
potentially violate the residents' rights.
Findings:
a. During review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
the resident on 1/23/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer`s disease (a progressive brain disorder that
causes memory loss and other cognitive decline) and gastro esophageal reflux disease (a condition in
which stomach acid repeatedly flows back up into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach).
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 1/13/2025, the MDS indicated the resident had the ability to make self-understood and the
ability to understand others. The resident required maximal assistance from staff for toileting hygiene,
shower, upper body dressing, lower body dressing and dependent on staff for shower.
During an observation and interview on 02/14/2025 at 6:30 a.m., with Resident 14, observed Resident 14
seated upright in bed working on a puzzle and with half bed siderails up on both sides of the bed. The
resident stated he did not have any concerns about his care.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/15/2025 at 5:20
p.m., reviewed Resident 14 `s Side Rail Use Assessment (SRUA) dated 1/23/2023 and physician`s orders
which included an order for both half bed rails while in bed for turn and repositioning, supporting self during
care and getting out of bed. Also reviewed Resident 14's. The DON stated that this assessment is not the
Risk for Entrapment Assessment. The DON verified that there is 1/2 side rail attached to the resident`s bed.
The DON stated any resident using a bed siderails must be assessed for safety and risk for entrapment to
prevent potential injury to the resident`s limbs. The DON stated that Resident 14 could suffer an injury if a
part of her body is entrapped in the gaps of the siderails.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedures titled Policy Side Rails, last reviewed on 1/15/2025,
the facility indicated that The policy for the use of side rails are as follows: Entrapment Assessment: If the

an overlay is added, when new rails are installed, or when new resident occupies the bed. These
assessments are maintained separately from the clinical record .
b. During review of Resident 50's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally
admitted the resident on 4/03/2023 with diagnoses b including major depressive disorder (a common
mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and other
symptoms that significantly interfere with daily life) and gastro esophageal reflux disease (a condition in
which stomach acid repeatedly flows back up into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach).
During a review of Resident 50 's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care
screening tool), dated 3/28/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had the ability to sometime make
self-understood and the ability to sometimes understand others. The resident is totally dependent on staff
for self-care including, toileting hygiene, shower, upper body dressing, lower body dressing.
During an observation on 02/14/2025 at 6:30 p.m., observed Resident 50 lying in bed sleeping with
siderails up on both sides of the bed.
During a record review and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/15/2025 at 6:20 p.m.,
reviewed Resident 50 `s Side Rail Use Assessment (SRUA) dated 12/18/2024 and physician`s orders
which included an order for both half bed rails while in bed for turn and repositioning, supporting self during
care and getting out of bed, dated 12/17/2024. The DON stated that this assessment is not the same as the
Risk for Entrapment Assessment. The DON verified there was a 1/2 side rail attached to the resident`s bed.
The DON stated any resident using a bed siderails must be assessed for safety and risk for entrapment to
prevent potential injury to the resident`s limbs. The DON stated that Resident 50 could suffer an injury if a
part of her body is entrapped in the gaps on the siderails.
During a review of the facility`s policy and procedures titled Policy Side Rails, last reviewed on 1/15/2025,
the facility indicated that The policy for the use of side rails are as follows: Entrapment Assessment: If the
bed rails are used for any reason, an assessment must be completed and documented. This assessment
should be conducted at least semiannually, whenever the mattress is changed or an overlay is added, when
new rails are installed, or when new resident occupies the bed. These assessments are maintained
separately from the clinical record .

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** 2. During the
Treatment Cart 1 inspection and observation, on 2/16/2025 at 3:24 p.m., and a concurrent interview with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), an expired vaginal cream was observed stored in the cart. LVN 3
confirmed that the observed vaginal cream did expire on 9/2024 and belonged to a resident who has
already been discharged from the facility. The LVN 3 stated that licensed staff is required to immediately
remove all expired medications from treatment carts.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/16/2025 at 3:28 p.m. with LVN 3, four expired
povidone-iodine swab sticks were observed inside Treatment Cart 1. LVN 3 stated these povidone-iodine
swab sticks were expired on 10/2023, and should have been removed and disposed of. The LVN 3 stated
that the potential outcome of using expired medical supplies is the inability to ensure the intended result of
a valid and unexpired medical supply.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 3:40 p.m., with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), the RN 1 stated licensed
nurses are required to inspect the medication and treatment carts during every shift and remove the
expired medications and supplies and replace them. The RN 1 stated this is important to avoid a medication
error by the administration of the expired medication or expired medical supplies. The RN 1 stated the
potential outcome of not disposing expired medication and supplies from the treatment cart is the
administration and use of a less effective medication or supply which may not produce the expected result.
During a review of the facility`s Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Storage of Medication, last reviewed
1/15/2025, the P&P indicated outdated, contaminated, discontinued, or deteriorated medications and those
in containers that are cracked, soiled, or without secure closures are immediately removed from stock,
disposed of according to procedures for medication disposal, and reordered from the pharmacy if a current
order exists.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals
were stored in accordance with accepted professional principles by failing to:
1. Ensure an insulin (hormone that lowers the level of glucose [sugar] in the blood) pen that was past the
discard date, was not stored in one of two three medication carts (Medication Cart 1) affecting one of one
sampled resident (Resident 53).
This deficient practice had the potential for an expired insulin to be administered to Resident 53 which
could result in uncontrolled blood glucose (the primary sugar in the blood and the body's main source of
energy).
2.a. Ensure an expired vaginal cream (topical medication inserted into the vagina to treat infection)
belonging to a discharged resident was removed and disposed of in one of two Treatment Carts inspected
(Treatment Cart 1).
2.b. Ensure an expired povidone-iodine swab sticks (used to kill germs and prevent infection in small skin
cuts and burns) were removed and disposed of in one of two Treatment Carts inspected (Treatment Cart 1).

These deficient practices had the potential for the administration and use of a less effective medication or
supply which may not produce the expected results.
Findings:
1.During a review of Resident 53's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnosis including diabetes
mellitus (DM - high blood sugar) and hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 53`s admission History and Physical (H&P- a medical exam that includes a
patient interview, physical exam, and documentation of findings) dated 4/5/2024, the H&P indicated that
Resident 53`s cognitive functions are intact.
During a review of Resident 53's Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order dated 1/03/2025 to
administer Insulin Lispro Injection Solution (Humalog- a fast-acting insulin for adults and children with
diabetes) 100 unit per milliliters (ml) per sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin based on blood glucose
level) subcutaneously (administering medication where a short needle is used to inject a medication into
the tissue layer between the skin and the muscle) one time a day for DM.
During a medication cart inspection on 2/15/2025 at 2:44 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2),
inspected Medication Cart 1 (MC 1). Resident 53's Humalog Insulin Lispro pen labeled with the open date
of 12/29/2025, was observed inside the cart. LVN 2 stated that insulin in vials or pens are supposed to be
used only for 28 days and if it is past the 28 days the insulin may have lost its efficacy. LVN 2 stated that the
insulin used to manage Resident 53`s diabetes, may not be effective, and the resident may experience
hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) which could lead to complications such as nausea and vomiting, blurred
vision and could potentially result to falls or injuries.
During an interview on 2/15/2025 at 3:13 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated if an
insulin is used beyond 28 days, it might no longer be effective in managing Resident 53`s diabetes. The
DON stated that Resident 53`s blood sugar may not be controlled and may result in hyperglycemia (high
blood sugar) which can lead to serious complications.
During a review of the Humalog (Insulin lispro) manufacturer's literature (provided by the facility) indicated
that once opened, Humalog vials, prefilled pens, and cartridges should be thrown away after 28 days even
if it still contains insulin.

Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the
food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate oversight of the Food and Nutrition
Services by qualified personnel when two of two sampled resident (Resident 25 and Resident 53) reviewed
under the nutrition task were not assessed and evaluated by a Registered Dietitian (RD- a health
professional who has special training in diet and nutrition) after having weight loss.
This deficient practice had a potential to result in ineffective nutrition intervention and goals and an
increased weight loss for Resident 25 and Resident 53.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated that the
facility originally admitted the resident on 9/3/2020, and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including
absolute glaucoma (a condition marked by complete vision loss and uncontrolled eye pressure), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), and history of falling.
During a review of Resident 25's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 11/14/2024,
the MDS indicated that the resident`s cognitive skills (brain's ability to think, read, learn, remember, reason,
express thoughts, and make decisions) for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made
decisions). The MDS indicated that Resident 25 was dependent to staff (helper does all of the effort) for
eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering and bathing, upper and lower body dressing, putting
on/talking off footwear, and personal hygiene. The MDS further indicated that Resident 25 had either a
weight loss of 5% or more within the last month or a weight loss of 10% or more in the last six months.
During a review of Resident 25's Physician Order Summary Report dated 10/24/2024, the order indicated
that the resident should be provided with a fortified (a food that has extra nutrients added to it), mechanical
soft texture diet (a soft food diet focuses on easy digestion and easy chewing) with a nectar thick
consistency fluid (fluids that are thicken than regular fluids, but still pour easily).
During a review of Resident 25`s Nutritional Care Assessment Form dated 5/3/2024, the assessment form
indicated the following:
1.
Resident 25`s diet order was regular mechanical soft diet;
2.
Resident 25`s meal intake percentage was 25-50%; and
3.
Resident 25 did not have any recent weight changes.

The nutritional care assessment further indicated that the RD would monitor Resident 25`s weight, meal
intakes and skin condition and will follow up as needed.
During a review of Resident 25`s SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation-a
communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents)
Communication Form dated 6/5/2024, the SBAR communication form indicated that the resident lost five
pounds (lbs.- a unit of weight) in one month. The SBAR communication form indicated that Resident 25`s
physician recommended the facility's Registered Dietician to evaluate the resident`s weight loss and
changed Resident 25`s order from a regular to a fortified diet.
During a review of Resident 25`s SBAR Communication Form dated 7/4/2024, the SBAR communication
form indicated that the resident lost six lbs. in the last month. The SBAR communication form indicated that
Resident 25`s physician ordered 13 milligrams (mg-a unit of measure of mass) of Remeron (antidepressant
[a type of medication used to treat depression] that can also raise your appetite and put you at risk for
weight gain) by mouth to be administered at nights in order to manage her weight loss.
During a review of Resident 25`s Nutritional Status care plan (written guide that organizes information
about the resident's care) initiated on 4/23/2024 and last revised on 2/13/2025, the care plan indicated a
goal that the resident will tolerate foods provided to her with 75-100% meal intake and will not have
significant weight loss of 5% or more in 30 days or 10% or more in 180 days. The care plan interventions
were to provide the diet as ordered by the physician, assist with feeding as needed, encourage adequate
nutrition and fluid intake, monitor monthly weights and RD to evaluate the resident as needed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 4:35 p.m. with the MDS Nurse 1 (MDSN
1), Resident 25`s physician orders, nutritional assessments and RD notes were reviewed. MDSN 1 stated
that the last time Resident 25 was evaluated by an RD was on 5/3/2024. MDSN 1 stated that there were no
nutritional assessments or progress notes by RD after Resident 25`s change of conditions for weight loss
on 6/5/2024 and 7/4/2024. MDSN 1 stated that Resident 25`s physician managed the resident`s weight loss
by changing her diet and adding new medication. However, there is no documentation regarding
management of Resident 25`s weight loss by the facility`s RD in the resident`s medical record.
During a telephone interview on 2/15/2025 at 5:15 p.m., with the facility current RD, the RD stated that she
started working in the facility on 10/2024. The RD stated that she works at the facility onsite once a week
and works remotely for the rest of her shifts. The RD stated that she has never assessed and visited
Resident 25 and she does not know anything about the resident and her weight loss.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 6:00 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 25`s physician orders, nutritional assessments and RD notes were reviewed. The DON
stated that the RD is required to conduct an assessment for residents upon admission, quarterly and when
the resident loses weight. The DON stated that the last time RD assessed and evaluated Resident 25 was
on 5/4/2024 prior to her significant weight loss. The DON stated that the RD did not perform any nutritional
assessments for Resident 25 after her change of conditions for weight loss on 6/5/2024 and 7/4/2024. The
DON stated that the facility had a high turnover rate for RDs. The DON stated that the high turnover rate
may be the reason that there were no assessments or dietary notes developed by an RD after 5/4/2024 for
Resident 25`s. The DON stated the potential outcome of an RD not

assessing a resident`s weight loss is the inability to detect, care, and manage the increasing weight loss of
a resident.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 6:20 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated that the
facility faced staffing challenges for contracted RDs in the facility since last summer. The ADM stated that
he is trying his best to ensure there is sufficient and qualified staff with the appropriate competencies and
skill sets to carry out food and nutrition services in the facility. The ADM stated that Registered Dietitians
are required to complete initial and quarterly assessments for all residents, especially residents who have
lost weight. The ADM stated RDs are required to access the effectiveness of nutritional interventions
developed for the residents. The ADM stated that the potential outcome of not always having an available
RD in the facility, or a high RD turnover rate is the inability to timely monitor and access the residents and
prevention of further weight loss.
During a review of the facility`s Procedure titled Job Description-independent Dietician, last reviewed on
1/15/2025, the job description indicated that the key responsibilities of the dieticians are to conduct
comprehensive nutritional assessments for new admission, quarterly reviews, and as needed for residents
with significant changes in health status, monitor residents` nutritional progress and adjust care plans as
needed, document assessments, care plans, and progress notes in compliance with regulatory standards
and advise on therapeutic diets and special dietary modifications.
During a review of the facility`s Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Nutritional Assessment, last reviewed on
1/15/2025, the P&P indicated that all residents would have a nutritional assessment completed within 14
days from admission. All residents are reviewed at least quarterly to update the nutritional assessment,
care plan and to document resident changes. Residents at nutritional risk are identified and monitored
closely to prevent or minimize deterioration. At risk residents are monitored, at least monthly by the Food
Service Supervisor and/or Consultant Dietician. Nutrition interventions to prevent deterioration are selected
based on resident`s individual needs. Interventions are periodically evaluated for effectiveness and results
documented in the dietary progress note section. Interventions and overall goals are documented in the
resident`s care plan and dietary progress notes.
b. During a review of Resident 53's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility
admitted Resident 53 on 3/22/2024 and readmitted the resident on 12/26/2024 with diagnoses including
type 2 diabetes mellitus (a long-term medical condition in which the body does not use insulin [a hormone
that lowers the level of sugar in the blood] properly), legal blindness (having vision that is 20/200 or worse
even with prescription eyewear), and hypertension (a condition in which blood pressure is higher than
normal).
During a review of Resident 53's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool), dated 01/27/2025, the MDS indicated that the resident had mildly impaired cognition (a slight decline
in mental abilities, memory and completing complex tasks). The MDS further indicated that Resident 53
needed moderate-to- maximal assistance with all Activities of Dayli Living (ADL- activities such as bathing,
dressing and toileting a person performs daily).
During a review Resident 53's Nutritional Status care plan last reviewed on 02/06/2025, the Care Plan (a
document that outlines the actions and interventions needed to address a resident's health and care
needs) indicated that the resident lost 13 lb. in one month. The care plan indicated an intervention for the
Registered Dietician (RD) to evaluate resident as needed and increase health shake to three times a day.

During a concurrent record review and interview on 2/15/2024 at 2:25 PM, with the Minimum Data Set
Nurse 1 (MDSN 1), reviewed Resident 53 's registered dietitian notes and weight log. MDSN 1 stated that
Resident 53's weight on 01/01/2025 was 120 lbs. and on 02/05/2025 was 107 pounds (lb.- measurement of
the weight). MDSN 1 stated Resident 53 lost 13 lbs. 10 percent of the resident's weight in one month, and it
is considered a severe weight loss. The MDSN stated than RD assessed Resident 53 on 4/21/2024. The
MDSN stated she could not find any other RD notes.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 2:25 p.m. with Minimum Data Set Nurse 1
(MDSN 1), Resident 53`s physician orders, nutritional assessments and RD notes were reviewed. MDSN 1
stated that the last time Resident 53`s was evaluated by an RD was on 4/21/2024. MDSN 1 stated there
are no Nutritional assessments or progress notes from RD after Resident 53 had weight loss on
12/26/2024 . The MDSN 1 stated that Resident 53`s physician managed the resident`s weight loss by
increasing health shake in her diet to three times a day. However, there is no documentation regarding
managing Resident 53`s weight loss by the facility's RD in the resident's medical record.
During a telephone interview on 2/15/2025 at 4:26 p.m., with the facility's current RD, the RD stated that
she started working in the facility in October 2024. The RD stated she works onsite in the facility once a
week and does remote documentations the rest of the week. The RD stated that she has never assessed
and visited Resident 53, and she does not know anything about the resident and her weight loss.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/15/2025 at 7:00 p.m. with the facility`s Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 53`s SBAR communication Form, nutritional assessments and RD notes were
reviewed. The DON stated the RD is required to conduct an assessment for residents who have lost weight.
The DON stated the last time the RD assessed and evaluated Resident 53 was on 4/21/2024 before she
had a significant weight loss. The DON stated the RD did not perform any nutritional assessments for
Resident 53 after she had weight loss on 12/26/2024 and RD was not part of SBAR dated 2/6/2025. The
DON stated that the facility had a quick turnover rate for RDs during 06/2024 and 07/2024. The DON stated
this might be the reason that there was no assessments or notes developed by RDs to manage Resident
53`s weight loss and all the interventions to prevent weigh loss were initiated by the resident`s physician.
The DON stated the potential outcome of RD not assessing residents who lost weight or are at risk for
weight loss is the inability to detect, care, and manage resident`s increased weight loss.
During an interview on 2/16/2025 at 6:00 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated that the
facility faced challenges to staff contracted RDs to work in the facility since last summer. The ADM stated
he is trying his best to ensure there is sufficient and qualified staff with the appropriate competencies and
skill sets to carry out food and nutrition services in the facility. The ADM stated Registered Dietitians are
required to complete initial and quarterly assessments for all residents, especially residents who have lost
weight. The ADM stated RDs are required to access the effectiveness of nutritional interventions developed
for the residents. The ADM stated the potential outcome of not having a contracted RD in the facility or
changing RDs quickly in the facility is the inability to monitor and access the residents on time and causing
unwanted weight loss.
During a review of the facility`s Procedure titled Job Description-independent Dietician, last reviewed on

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:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) washed their hands before administering eye drops to one
of five sampled residents (Resident 4).
2. Ensure LVN 4 removed their isolation gown prior to leaving a resident's room for one of five sampled
residents (Resident 4) who was on enhanced barrier precautions (EBP - a set of infection control practices
that use personal protective equipment [PPE - equipment worn to reduce exposure to hazards in the
workplace] to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDROs - microorganisms that are
resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics and antifungals] in nursing homes).
3. Ensure a resident's urinal (a container used to collect urine) was labeled with the resident's name for one
of two sample residents (Residents 48).
These deficient practices had the potential to cause cross contamination (unintentional transfer of
bacteria/germs or other contaminants from one surface to another) and increase the risk of spreading
infection to other residents and staff members.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility
initially admitted Resident 4 on 11/22/2021 and readmitted the resident on 7/2/2023 with diagnoses
including gastrostomy (G-tube- a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the
stomach), Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such
as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), and atrial fibrillation (a heart condition
that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate).
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/20/2025,
the MDS indicated that the resident had severely impaired cognition (the process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses). The MDS further indicated that Resident
4 was totally dependent on staff with all activities of daily living (ADLs- activities related to personal care).
During a review of Resident 4's Order Summary Report dated 2/2025, the Order Summary Report
indicated a physician order for lubricate eye drops solution 0.4-0.3% (eye drops used to treat eye dryness)
instill one (1) drop in both eyes two times a day for eye dryness.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/15/2025 at 5:07 p.m., with LVN 4, observed Resident
4's room with signage that indicated Resident 4 was on EBP. Observed LVN 4 administering medication to
Resident 4 via g-tube, then observed LVN 4 not remove their gloves before administering lubricate eye
drops solution to Resident 4's eyes. Observed LVN 4 exit Resident 4's room while still wearing an isolation
gown. Observed one of LVN 4's gowned arms touch the medication cart. When asked why LVN 4 was still
wearing the isolation gown after exiting a resident's room on EBP precautions, LVN 4 stated LVN 4 should
have removed the isolation gown before exiting Resident 4's room. LVN 4 stated it is important to follow
EBP guidelines to prevent the spread of infection. LVN 4 stated he (LVN 4) should have removed his gloves
and washed his hands after administering the g-tube medications and

or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 2/15/2025 at 6:25 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that LVN 4
should have washed their hands before administering eye drops to Resident 4. The IP stated staff who
provide care for residents who are on EBP should remove the isolation gown and gloves before leaving a
resident's room. The IP stated LVN 4 should have removed the gown before exiting Resident 4's room. The
IP stated this was important to prevent the spread of infection.

2. During a review of Resident 48's admission Record, the admission Record indicated that the facility
initially admitted Resident 48 on 9/11/2023 with diagnoses including body myositis (IMB- a muscle disease
where muscles gradually weaken over time due to the build-up of abnormal protein clumps inside the
muscle fiber), generalized anxiety disorder (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily
activities), and essential hypertension (high blood pressure [the force of the blood pushing on the blood
vessel walls is too high]).
During a review of Resident 48's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that the resident had intact
cognition. The MDS further indicated that Resident 48 required moderate-to-maximal assistance of
one-to-two helpers for showering, toileting and personal hygiene, dressing and chair-to-bed transfer, and
