Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to treat three of three sampled
residents (Resident 21, 22, and 29) with dignity and respect when Residents 21, 22, and 29, who needed
full assistance with meals, were not offered or fed their bread rolls during lunch.
This failure had the potential to affect Residents 21, 22 and 29's psychosocial well-being and nutritional
needs.
Findings:
During a dining observation on 9/23/24 at 12:53 p.m., in the dining room, Residents 21, 22, and 29 were
being assisted by staff during lunch. Registered Nurse (RN) 3 asked Resident 29 if she wanted her bread
roll to which Resident 29 replied, yes. RN 3 did not have gloves available to feed the bread roll and RN 3
offered water to Resident 29 instead. Residents 21, 22, and 29 did not receive their bread rolls from the
staff who assisted them during feeding.
During an interview on 9/25/24 at 3:07 p.m. with Director of Staff Development (DSD), DSD stated RN 3
should have accommodated and assisted Resident 29 when Resident 29 wanted to eat the bread roll. DSD
further stated Residents 21, 22, and 29 were not able to feed themselves and needed a helper to pick up
the food for them so they can eat.
During a record review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, revised February 2021, the
P&P indicated Each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense
of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem .When assisting with
care, residents are supported in exercising their rights. For example, residents are provided with a dignified
dining experience.

PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident 8's Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASARR, a federal requirement to help ensure that individuals who have a mental
disorder or intellectual disabilities are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes for long term care).
PASARR requires that 1) all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility be evaluated for a serious
mental disorder and/or intellectual disability; 2) be offered the most appropriate setting for their needs (in
the community, a nursing facility, or acute care setting; and 3) receive the services they need in those
settings.) completed when Resident 8 had diagnosis of brief psychotic disorder (mental disorder that can
cause abnormal thinking and perception).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 8 not being properly evaluated if he was receiving appropriate mental
health services.
(Cross Reference F758)
Findings:
During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, dated 9/25/24, the record indicated Resident 8 had
diagnosis of brief psychotic disorder.
During a review of Resident 8's Physician's Orders, dated 8/22/23, the order indicated an order of Seroquel
12.5 milligrams (mg., a form of measurement), by mouth two times a day (Seroquel is an antipsychotic
medication. Antipsychotic medications are medications that are used to treat symptoms of psychotic mental
disorder such as delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, or confused thoughts).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/26/24 at 10:36 a.m., with the Medical Record Director
(MRD), MRD stated she was not able to find any PASARR evaluation in Resident 8's medical records.
During an interview on 9/26/24 at 10:04 a.m., with the Administrator (Adm), the Adm acknowledged it was
the facility's mistake for not having a PASARR evaluation for Resident 8.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, admission Criteria, dated March 2019, the
P&P indicated, . All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual
disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, for two (Resident 10 and Resident 11) of thirteen sampled
residents, the facility failed to implement its Care Plan, Comprehensive Person Centered policy and
procedure when:
1. Facility did not develop care plan to address Resident 10's medical diagnoses of Major Depressive
Disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in
activities, causing significant impairment in daily life ) and Insomnia (persistent problems falling and staying
asleep), and there was no care plan to address Resident 10's use of Amitriptyline and Trazadone
(antidepressant medications, antidepressants are medications used to treat major depressive disorder,
some anxiety disorders and chronic pain conditions), and
2. Facility did not identify and address Resident 11's hairy mole on chin with a care plan and appropriate
interventions. (Hairy moles are skin lesions that have both hair and pigmentation. They are usually present
at birth. Hairy moles can appear anywhere on the body, but are often found on the face, trunk, or limbs).
These failures had the potential to result in Resident 10 and Resident 11 not receiving appropriate care and
treatment.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 10's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment and care
screening tool used to guide care), dated 8/30/24. The MDS indicated Resident 10 had diagnoses of major
depressive disorder and insomnia.
During a review of Resident 10's physician orders, dated 8/23/24, the order indicated Resident 10 was
prescribed:
a. Amitriptyline HCL tablet 50 mg (milligram, unit of measurement) by mouth daily related to major
depressive disorder, and
b. Trazadone HCL oral tablet 100 mg by mouth at bedtime related to insomnia.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/25/24 at 9:17 a.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 10's MDS and care plans were reviewed. DON could not show Resident 10 had care
plans that addressed the use of Amitriptyline and Trazadone for depression. DON could not provide
documentation that Resident 10's diagnosis of major depression was care planned. DON stated care plan
was not initiated for Resident 10 major depression and use of antidepressant.
2. During a review of Resident 11's admission record, dated 5/5/22, indicated Resident 11 was admitted to
the facility with multiple diagnoses that included seborrhea (abnormally increased secretion and discharge
of sebum) and rash and other nonspecific skin eruption.
During a review of Resident 11's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 11's Basic
Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status
regarding attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information. A BIMS score

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one sampled resident's
(Resident 14) long toenails received podiatry (foot care) treatment services as ordered by the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to place Resident 14 at risk for injury and infection.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/23/24 at 1:45 p.m., Resident 14 laid in bed in her room. Resident 14 had
contracted (tightened and may cause deformity) feet with long toenails.
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS, Resident Assessment tool used to guide care),
dated 9/12/24, the MDS indicated Resident 14 had short- and long-term memory problem. The MDS
indicated Resident 14 was dependent on staff and required two or more helpers for putting on and taking
off socks and shoes or other footwear and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 14's diagnoses
included Peripheral Artery Disease (a circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood
flow to the limbs) and Non-Alzheimer's Dementia (a loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with
normal activities of daily living).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/24/24 at 11:00 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1 in Resident 14's room, LVN 1 stated Resident 14's long toenails needed podiatry care since
Resident 14 had other comorbidity (presence of two or more diseases).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/24/24 at 11:24 a.m., with Social Services Director
(SSD), Resident 14's Progress Notes, dated 3/4/24 was reviewed. The progress notes by the podiatrist
indicated Resident 14 had elongated toenail with plan to trim toenails every 2 to 3 months for foot care.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident 9) of two
sampled residents received treatment services to address limitation in range of motion to right upper
extremity when Resident 9 had contracture (a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles often
leading to deformity and rigidity of joints) of right upper extremity and a resting splint (a device that supports
and protects a broken bone or injured tissue) was not applied to right hand as ordered by the physician.
This failure had the potential to cause Resident 9's decline in range of motion and risk of decreased muscle
strength.
Findings:
During an observation on 9/24/24 at 10:53 a.m., Resident 9 laid in bed in her room. Resident 9 had right
hand contracture. Resident 9's right hand upper extremity had no splint.

9/19/24. The MDS indicated, Resident 9 had short- and long-term memory problem. The MDS indicated
Resident 9's had diagnosis of Non-Alzheimer's Dementia (a loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere
with normal activities of daily living).
During a review of Resident 9's care plan revised on 6/19/2017, the care plan indicated Resident 9 had an
ADL (activities of daily living are those needed for self-care and mobility and include activities such as
bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, ambulation, toileting, eating, transferring, and communicating.)
self-care performance deficit related to limited mobility, interventions included nursing rehab/restorative
splint/brace program.
During a review of Resident 9's order summary report dated 9/3/21, the order indicated physician
prescribed Resident 9 to receive RNA [restorative nurse assistant] program: RNA/can [certified nursing
assistant] to do PROM [passive range of motion, the person performing the movement does not use any of
their own muscles] to all joints to patient tolerance 3x/week flexible days. Goal: maintain res [resident]
current joint ROM in all extremities and reduce risk of contracture development .
During an interview on 9/25/24 at 8:55 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant/Restorative Nursing Assistant
(CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 9 used to have splint applied to right upper hand contracture. CNA 1
stated Resident 9 was no longer on RNA program for a while and had not used a splint for some time. CNA
1 stated Resident 9 had contracture to right hand upper extremity.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/25/24 at 11:03 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse

Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to have a written contract/agreement with Resident
189's outpatient dialysis provider (dialysis is the process of removing toxins from the kidneys and blood
through a machine. The contract/agreement should include all aspects of how Resident 189's dialysis care
and needs were to be managed by the dialysis provider outside of the facility).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in Resident 189's poor dialysis care management.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 189's admission Record, dated 9/26/24, the record indicated Resident 189 had
diagnosis of acute kidney failure (a condition where the kidneys stopped working properly).
Review of Resident 189's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
9/20/24, the MDS indicated Resident 189's cognition was intact.
During a review of Resident 189's Physician's Orders dated 9/14/24, the order indicated Resident 189 had
outpatient hemodialysis (a medical procedure that filters a person's blood when their kidneys are not
functioning properly) appointments on Mondays and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
During an interview on 9/23/24 at 2:41 p.m., with Resident 189, Resident 189 stated she just returned from
having dialysis from the dialysis provider.
During an interview on 9/25/24, at 10:21 a.m., with the Administrator (Adm), the Adm stated there was no
contract in place between the facility and dialysis provider of Resident 189. The Adm further stated the
facility also did not have a contract with the transportation company that transported Resident 189 to the
dialysis provider. The Adm stated he knew it was a regulation to have a contract but acknowledged that he
had not done it yet.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from unnecessary psychotropic
drugs (medications that can affect the mind, emotions, and behavior) for three of 38 sampled residents
(Residents 8,7 and 10) when:
1. Resident 8 did not have the appropriate indications for the use of Seroquel (Seroquel is an antipsychotic
medication; Antipsychotic medications are medications that are used to treat symptoms of psychotic mental
disorder such as delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, or confused thoughts),
2. Resident 7 had no rationale for continued use of PRN Ativan beyond 14 days (PRN is short for pro re
nata [a Latin phrase], meaning as needed, or as necessary; Ativan is a psychotropic medication used to
treat anxiety; psychotropic medications are used to treat mental health disorders), and
3. Resident 10 was administered Trazadone (an antidepressant medication to treat major depressive
disorder, some anxiety disorders and chronic pain conditions) for insomnia (difficulty falling and staying
asleep) and facility did not monitor hours of sleep for Resident 10.
These failures had the potential to not promote or maintain Residents 8, 7 and 10's highest practicable
mental, physical, and psychosocial well-being.
(Cross Reference F645)
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, dated 9/25/24, the record indicated Resident 8 had
diagnosis of brief psychotic disorder (mental disorder that can cause abnormal thinking and perception).
During a review of Resident 8's Physician's Orders(PO), dated 8/22/23, the PO indicated an order of
Seroquel 12.5 milligrams (mg., a form of measurement), by mouth two times a day. The PO indicated the
symptoms to be managed by Seroquel were, agitation/restlessness/anxiety, manifested by repetitive
questioning of things, events. Easily gets frustrated despite reassurance and with aggressive response.
Review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
7/20/24, the MDS indicated Resident 8's cognition was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 8
had no verbal and physical behavioral symptoms directed toward others (verbal- threatening others,
screaming at others, cursing at others; physical - hitting, kicking, pushing, scratching .).
During an interview on 9/27/24 at 9:28 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated
