F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to appropriately administer medication when one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 414) was self-administering medication without being appropriately assessed and approved for self-administration. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for Resident 414 to aspirate (choking, the accidental inhalation of food, liquid, or other material into the lungs) from improperly administered medication. Findings: Review of Resident 414's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/8/22, indicated Resident 414 had diagnoses including impaired mobility, impaired activities of daily living, left hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to move on one side of the body) and dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing). During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/29/25 at 11:02 AM with Resident 414, a half full cup of thick, dark orange colored liquid was seen on top of Resident 414's bedside table. Resident 414 drank it and stated, It's orange juice that tastes like Metamucil (a medication for constipation), when asked what it was. During an interview on 4/29/25 at 11:22 AM in Resident 414's room, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 acknowledged the thick, dark orange colored liquid found on Resident 414's bedside table was Metamucil mixed with orange juice. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/29/25 at 11:25 AM with LVN 4, Resident 414's electronic medical record was reviewed. The record indicated on 4/29/25 at 8:25 AM, Resident 414's prescribed and scheduled Metamucil was administered. LVN 4 acknowledged Resident 414 was not observed taking the medication in full amount since the resident prefers to consume the Metamucil at his own pace. LVN 4 further stated, nursing staff to stay and observe the resident and to ensure the resident has taken the medication in whole amount when asked regarding the expectation during medication administration. During an interview on 4/30/25 at 10:27 AM, LVN 4 stated, Resident 414 couldn't open the packet (medication) on his own and does not consume the Metamucil in a timely manner, LVN 4 further stated, Resident 414 is not capable to self-administer medication. During an interview on 4/30/25 at 11:40 AM, Nurse Manager (NM)1 acknowledged she was made aware of Resident 414 not consuming his Metamucil in a timely manner and medication was left at bedside without the resident taking the full dose. NM 1 stated, I just found out yesterday after the nurse was asked about it. NM 1 further added, self-administration assessment was done after that and the resident failed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/25 at 11:45 AM with NM 1, Resident 414's electronic health record was reviewed. The record indicated the facility had not conducted an assessment to determine whether Resident 414 was capable and appropriate for self-administration. There was no physician's order authorizing Resident 414 to self-administer Metamucil. Additionally, there was no care plan addressing self-administration, nor were there interdisciplinary team (IDT) notes indicating Resident 414 can safely self-administer Metamucil on the day the resident was observed in doing so. When asked about the risk of Resident 414 self-administering Metamucil at the bedside, NM 1 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555929 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 14 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555929 B.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the baseline care plan was developed within 48 hours of admission for one of 35 sampled residents (Resident 879) on ADL (Activities of Daily Living) for oral care. This failure had the potential to result in inadequate care and services rendered to Resident 879. Findings: Review of Resident 879 admission record indicated, Resident 879 was admitted on [DATE] , indicated during admission, diagnoses including Stroke, Dysphagia (trouble swallowing), Heart Failure, Aphasia (unable to speak), Systemic lupus erythematosus (a chronic condition where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues). During an interview on 04/30/25 at 9:48 AM with Nurse Manager 2 (NM 2). NM 2 stated baseline assessment is usually done during admission and within 48 hours. NM 2 confirmed baseline care plan was not developed within 48 hours after admission. During an interview on 04/30/25 9:50 AM with Patient Care Assistant1 (PCA 1), PCA 1 stated for a new admit resident we have to check the basic care plan for the patient on ADL on what to do and what the resident do every day.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to meet professional standards of quality when: Residents Affected - Few 1.One out of two sampled residents (Resident 183) received oxygen therapy outside the prescriber's order. This failure could potentially result in negative outcomes for Resident 183 like shortness of breath, fatigue and confusion. 2.Two residents out of 42 sampled residents reviewed for medication administration (Resident 44 and Resident 155) received medication outside the prescriber's order and parameters. These failures resulted in Resident 44 receiving prescription medication Glipizide (a medication to treat high blood sugar) 10 mg tablet for type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) outside prescribing parameters and Resident 155 receiving incorrect application of Lidocaine 5% patch for pain outside the prescriber's order. These failures have the potential for Resident 183, Resident 44, and Resident 155 to receive inadequate care. Findings: 1.Review of Resident 183's MDS (minimum data set - a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 4/7/25, indicated Resident 183 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease that makes breathing hard) and had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, MDS tool that measures resident cognition) score of 15, indicating intact cognitive function. During an observation on 4/29/25 at 10:26 AM, Resident 183 was observed breathing through his mouth while receiving oxygen (O2) at 1 liter per minute (lpm, unit that express flow rate) via nasal cannula (a medical device that provides supplemental oxygen to a resident through the nose) connected to the wall oxygen. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/29/25 at 10:46 AM with Registered Nurse (RN) 5 in Resident 183's room, Resident 183 was receiving oxygen at 1 lpm via nasal cannula connected to the wall oxygen. RN 5 increased the oxygen to 2 lpm and stated, It should be at 2 lpm, as ordered by the doctor. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/29/25 at 10:50 AM with RN 5, Resident 183's electronic health record was reviewed. The physician's order, in the record, dated 12/20/23, indicated oxygen at 2 1pm via nasal cannula to maintain an oxygen saturation level (O2 sat, a measurement of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage) above 92% as needed (PRN) for COPD/ history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a condition when breathing stops and starts during sleep due to a blockage in the throat). When asked about the oxygen saturation of Resident 183 for that day, RN5 stated, No oxygen saturation was charted this morning. The last recorded oxygen saturation was on 4/27/25 at 10:13AM, two days ago.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident 183's physician order for PRN oxygen at 2 lpm, which was not followed. NM 1 also confirmed the oxygen saturation was taken but not documented in the electronic health record. NM1 stated, Resident 183's oxygen saturation was 95% the previous morning. NM 1 further stated, Resident 183 did not require PRN oxygen based on the reading. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/1/25 at 1:04 PM with NM1, Resident 183's electronic health record was reviewed. The record indicated on 4/29/25 at 8:31 AM, Resident 183's oxygen saturation was 95%. However, it was not documented whether the resident was on oxygen or room air at the time of the reading. NM1 stated, staff are expected to check oxygen saturation while the resident is on room air especially when a PRN oxygen order is in place to determine whether supplemental oxygen is needed. Review of Resident 183's care plan titled Problem: Respiratory-Adult, dated 3/23/22, indicated .On PRN supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute to keep O2% (oxygen percentage) saturation above 92% . Review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Care Plan (RCP), Resident Care Team (RCT) & Resident Care Conference (RCC), last updated on 9/12/23, indicated .Policy .Care problems require various professional disciplines working together in planning, implementing and evaluating goals and interventions . Review of the facility's P&P titled, Oxygen Administration last updated in September 2006, indicated .Nasal Cannula .Adjust liter flow according to physician order . 2. During concurrent observation, interview, and record review, the observation of Medication Administration on 04/30/2025 showed RN6 gave Resident 44 Glipizide 10 mg tablet at 10:16 AM. Record review of the electronic health record (EHR), for Resident 44 revealed Glipizide 10 mg tablet was ordered for every morning before breakfast. Interview of RN6 provided confirmation that Glipizide 10 mg tablet was administered after breakfast instead of before breakfast, at the incorrect time. RN6 confirmed breakfast for Resident 44 was completed at 8:30 AM. RN6 confirmed order for Glipizide 10 mg tablet requires administration every morning before breakfast. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/25 at 10:16 AM, RN 6 acknowledged Resident 44 did not receive Glipizide 10 mg tablet before breakfast according to the prescriber's order. During concurrent observation, interview, and record review, the observation of Medication Administration on 04/29/25 at 10:06 AM showed that LVN3 gave Resident 155 an application of two Lidocaine 5% patches to the mid-lower back area and to the area over the right lower ribs. Record review of the EPIC EHR for Resident 155 revealed the order parameters for the two Lidocaine 5% patches requires application of the Lidocaine 5% patches to the right shoulder and to the right rib area for pain. Interview of LVN3 provided confirmation that one Lidocaine 5% patch was incorrectly applied to the mid-lower back area, instead of the right shoulder. LVN3 confirmed that the order parameters for Lidocaine 5% patch requires administration of the two Lidocaine 5% patches to the right shoulder and to the right rib area for pain. LVN3 confirmed applying one of the Lidocaine 5% patches incorrectly to the mid-lower back area. After acknowledging the error, LVN3 corrected the error by removing the Lidocaine patch on the mid-lower back and placing it on the right shoulder of Resident 155. Resident 155 did not receive the correct application of one Lidocaine 5% patch to the correct location of the right shoulder according to the order parameters.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately dispose of and record disposal of controlled drugs for one of one sampled resident reviewed for safe and secure disposal and recording methods for controlled medications (Resident 332). This failure could result in Resident 332 receiving an inaccurate dose or diversion of the controlled medication. Findings: During an observation of Medication Room on 04/30/2025 at 10:31 AM revealed an Omnicell receipt dated 04/30/2025 with time 10:03 AM for Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup, with the names of RN3 and RN4 noted on the receipt for Resident 332, and with an administration amount noted as 90 mg and a waste amount noted as 10 mg. Methadone is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, which means it is recognized for its medical use but has a high potential for abuse and addiction. This classification indicates that even though methadone can be prescribed for certain conditions, such as for pain management, it must be carefully regulated to prevent misuse (UpToDate 2025). Interview of NS2 on 04/30/2025 at 10:31 AM revealed that all Omnicell receipts are reviewed by the Licensed Nurses (LN) at the end of the day and then discarded. NS2 confirmed RN3 was the witness for RN4 regarding the 10 mg waste amount noted on the Omnicell receipt dated 04/30/2025 with time 10:03 AM for Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup for Resident 332. Interview of RN3 on 04/30/2025, shortly after interviewing NS2, confirmed RN3 was the witness for the disposal of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup for Resident 332 on 04/30/2025 with time 10:03 AM. RN3 was asked to verbalize the process of disposing 10 mg of the Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL. RN3 noted that 10 mg of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/5 mL was first measured using a measuring cup. RN3 noted that both the 10 mg liquid of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/ 5mL Cup and the measuring cup that the liquid was in, was then disposed of together in the black container with signage attached to the front of the container that indicates PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE/DISPOSAL FOR ALL NON-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WASTE, because it did not fit in the PRO SERIES RX Destroyer with signage attached to the front of the container that indicates FOR CONTROLLEDSUBSTANCE WASTE/DISPOSAL. Interview of NS2 on 04/30/2025, immediately after interview of RN3, confirmed correct process for disposal of 10 mg of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/5 mL that should start with pouring the liquid into the PRO SERIES RX Destroyer FOR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WASTE/DISPOSAL and disposal of the cup into the black container for PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE/DISPOSAL FOR ALL NON-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WASTE. NS2 confirmed RN3 did not verbalize the correct process for disposal of 10 mg of Methadone Concentrate 50 mg/5 mL.

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on observation, interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure that one out of one kitchen staff was competent when testing sanitizer (a substance or product that reduces or eliminates microorganisms such as bacteria on surfaces to a safe level) strength used to sanitize food contact surfaces. This failure had the potential to result in compromising infection control and resident safety. Findings: During an observation and interview on 4/28/25 at 1:45 PM with Food Service Supervisor (FSS)1, FSS1 stated he was responsible for testing the sanitizer strength for the sanitizer used in the red buckets (sanitizer used to test food contact surfaces). FSS1 demonstrated how he tested the sanitizer strength. FSS1 held a sanitizer test strip in the sanitizer solution inside a red bucket for 20-21 seconds then immediately compared the color of the strip to the color chart on the test strip packaging to determine the concentration. When FSS1 was asked how many seconds the test strip was to be held in the solution, FSS1 stated for about 10 seconds. Review of the manufacturer's label on the test strip container showed to immerse the strip in solution for 5 seconds, then evaluate the color 10 seconds after removing the test strip from the sample.
