During an interview on 08/30/23 at 9:03 a.m., CNA A said call lights should be within reach of the residents.
She said Resident #98 and Resident #267 should have a touch pad call light instead of the push button.
CNA A said the call lights were important for residents to get assistance or call for help. She said all nursing
staff was responsible for ensuring call lights were within reach. CNA A said she did not know how residents
were assessed to determine if they needed a different type if light.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 2:07 p.m., LVN D said everyone was responsible for making sure call
lights were within reach. She said call lights were used so the resident could get help, let staff know if they
were in pain or needed incontinence care. LVN D said a touch pad call light would be good for Resident
#98, but she did not know if Resident #267 could use a call light. She said the DON should be notified if a
resident needed a different type of call light. LVN D said the appropriate type of call lights were important to
accommodate the needs of the resident.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 5:36 p.m., the OT Director said she went to evaluate Resident #98 and
Resident #267, and they both could push the call light button.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 8:20 a.m., LVN C said everybody was responsible for making sure call
lights were within reach. She said nurses were responsible for making sure the resident had the appropriate
type of call light. LVN C said Resident #98 and Resident #267 could use the push button call lights. She
said she had notified therapy to evaluate Resident #267 to make sure he had the right call light, but she
could not remember when. LVN C said the facility recently had a new company take over the therapy
department so she could not remember who she told. She said Resident #267 normally had hand rolls and
were taken out every 2 hours or so. LVN C said she could see when Resident #267 had hands rolls in
place, a push button call light would not work for him. She said call lights were used to call for assistance or
when in distress. LVN C said when call lights were not within reach, falls could happen.
During an observation on 08/31/23 at 9:16 a.m., revealed Resident #267 was in the bed with a push call
light clipped to his sheet, not within reach of his hands. In Resident #267's hands were rolled washcloths.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 9:45 a.m., the DON said all staff were responsible for making sure call
lights were within reach. She said a resident admitted with contractures should be evaluated by therapy for
call light appropriateness. The DON said after admission, it was a team effort to assess the resident to
make sure they had the right type of call light. She said without personally evaluating Resident #98 and
Resident #267, she could not say which call light was appropriate for

within reach or not the right type of call light, needs cannot be met timely.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 10:41 a.m., the ADM said facility staff were responsible for placing call
lights within reach and ensure they were appropriate for the resident. He said call lights were important
because residents used them to call for help. The ADM said charge nurses, managers, and facility
ambassadors should be overseeing by making rounds. He said call lights not being in reach placed
residents at risk for falls or needs not being met.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to consult with the resident physician when there
was a need to alter treatment for 1 out of 3 residents (Resident #61) reviewed for notification of changes.
The facility failed to notify and consult with the physician about the changes in Resident #61's high blood
sugar readings.
This failure could place residents at the risk of not receiving appropriate medical interventions, which could
result in severe illness or hospitalization.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #61's face sheet, dated 09/05/23 indicated Resident #61 was an [AGE] year-old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted [DATE] with diagnoses which included stroke (lack
of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts
of the brain to die off), diabetes (a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high) and
seizures (when too many of your brain cells become excited at the same time).
Record review of Resident #61's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/04/23, indicated Resident #61 was
understood and understood others. Resident #61's BIMs score was 14, which indicated he was cognitively
intact. Resident #61 required extensive assist with bathing, and limited assist with eating and independent
with toileting, personal hygiene, transfer, dressing, and bed mobility. The MDS indicated Resident #61
received insulin during the 7-day look back period.
Record review of Resident #61's comprehensive care plan, dated 04/12/23 indicated
Resident #61 required insulin products related to diagnosis of diabetes. The interventions of the care plan
were for staff to provide Resident #61 with medications as ordered, check blood sugars as ordered and
monitor for any signs or symptoms of low or high blood sugars due to new diagnosis and use of insulin.
Record review of Resident #61's physician's orders dated 04/10/23 indicated, Humalog injection solution
100units/ml(lispro). Inject 10 units subcutaneously with meals for diagnosis of diabetes with blood sugar

Record review of Resident #61's progress notes dated August 2023 did not reveal any notes regarding
blood sugars over 400 were reported to the physician or NP.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 11:10 a.m., Resident #61 said staff did let him know about his blood
sugars but he did not understand why some of his blood sugar readings were high.
During an observation and interview on 08/30/23 at 2:41 p.m., LVN R said if Resident #61's blood sugar
was over 401 she would notify the doctor. She looked on his MAR and saw some of his recent blood sugars
were over 400 and then looked at his nurses notes and did not see any notification to the physician. LVN R
said she would notify the physician about Resident #61's high blood sugar readings. She said it was
important to notify the physician of high blood sugar results to prevent any further damage to his kidneys or
other organs of his body.
During a phone interview on 08/30/23 at 2:53 p.m., the facility NP said he was just informed by LVN R of
Resident #61's blood sugar readings. He said he expected staff to notify him of blood sugar readings below
60 and above 400. He said he communicated to the primary physician about any changes provided for the
facility. He said he amended Resident #61's insulin. He said untreated hyperglycemia over a period could
lead to organ damage.
Record review of Resident #61's physician's orders dated 08/30/23 revealed, Lantus Solostar
subcutaneous injection 100units/ml. Inject 30 units subcutaneously in the morning.
Record review of Resident #61's physician's orders dated 08/30/23 revealed, Lantus Solostar
subcutaneous injection 100units/ml. Inject 20 units subcutaneously in the evening.
During a phone interview on 08/30/23 at 3:49 p.m., LVN S said if a resident's blood sugar reading was over
400, she would notify the physician or NP. She said she was Resident #61's primary nurse but did not
remember Resident #61's blood sugars being high. She said she did not remember notifying the doctor
about his blood sugars over the weekend (08/26/23-08/27/23) or on Monday (08/28/23). LVN S said it was
important to notify the doctor or NP of high blood sugar reading because a resident could go into a diabetic
coma.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 4:41 p.m., ADON H said an order to notify the physician or NP of low or
high blood sugars was usually in the orders. She said if they did not have an order, she would use best
practice and notify the doctor of any blood sugar readings over 400. The ADON H said a high blood sugar
reading could cause further issues with diabetes if not under control.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 4:57 p.m., the DON said the physician or NP should be notified of blood
sugars over 400. She said the unit managers should be monitoring MARS daily, and NP/physicians
reviewed when making rounds. The DON said if blood sugars remain uncontrolled a resident could have
adverse effects.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 5:24 p.m., the Administrator said he was unaware when the physician
should be notified of blood sugars, but he said nurses should be following the parameters set by the
physician. He said nurse managers and the DON should be monitoring blood sugars readings. The

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had a right to personal
privacy and confidentiality of medical records for 2 (Resident #81 and Resident #5) of 7 residents reviewed
for privacy and confidentiality.
Residents Affected - Few
ADON K failed to ensure she closed the EMR of Resident #81 before entering his room to obtain a blood
sugar check and administer medications.
LVN V failed to ensure she closed Resident #5's EMR before entering the supply room and leaving the cart
unattended.
These failures could place residents at risk for low self-esteem, loss of dignity and decreased quality of life
due to medication administration record being accessible to others.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #81's face sheet dated 08/30/23, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included quadriplegia (paralysis that affects all four
limbs, plus torso), diabetes mellitus (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood),
depression (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and anxiety.
Record review of Resident #81's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was able to make
himself understood and understood others. The MDS indicated Resident #81 had a BIMS score of 15,
indicating his cognition was intact. The MDS indicated he was totally dependent on staff for bed mobility,
transfers, dressing, eating, toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing. The MDS indicated he received insulin
injections 7 out of the 7 days of the look back period.
During an observation on 08/29/23 at 08:30 AM, revealed ADON K entered Resident #81's room to obtain
a blood sugar check. ADON K left Resident #81's MAR screen open on her cart facing toward Resident
#81's room but far enough someone could have stopped visualized it. ADON K came back to the cart and
obtained Resident #81's medications. After obtaining Resident #81's medications, ADON K entered his
room to administer the medications leaving the MAR screen open. A staff member came next to the cart
waiting on ADON K. Multiple staff members were observed passing down the hallway.
During an interview on 08/29/23 at 08:59 AM, ADON K said it was the nurse's responsibility to keep EMR
locked when not present. ADON K said she forgot to lock the screen and someone could have seen the
resident's information.
2. Record review of Resident #5's face sheet dated 08/30/23, indicated an [AGE] year-old female who
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia
(memory loss), neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (bladder dysfunction caused by nervous system
conditions), diabetes mellitus (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood) and essential
hypertension (high blood pressure).

cleaning the spilled formula. She said the spilled formula attracted pests and germs and could lead to a fall.
During an interview on 8/31/23 at 9:45 AM, the DON said Resident #267 had formula on the floor, IV pole,
and walls. She said LVNs and aides should clean the formula up when it happened. The DON said the
formula had become hardened, they had to replace the IV pole because it would not come off. She said it
was important for the residents to have a clean environment. The DON said nursing administrators and
housekeeping supervisors should oversee the cleanness of the facility by doing rounds. She said
housekeeping was responsible for cleaning resident's toilets and emptying trash to promote cleanliness.
The DON said the housekeeper should follow their cleaning schedule and the housekeeping supervisor
should make rounds to ensure it was being done.
During an interview on 8/31/23 at 10:41 AM, the ADM said he expected the facility to be cleaned as
indicated. He said all facility staff were responsible for a clean environment. The ADM said administration
and housekeeping supervisor should ensure it happened. He said a clean environment was important for

During an interview on 08/30/23 at 9:03 a.m., CNA A said Resident #98 normally drank house shakes and
today was the first time to hear he was supposed to have frozen treats with his meals. She said dietary was
responsible for providing the frozen treats. CNA A said she had not gotten into the facility's electronic
charting system and charted Resident #72 or Resident #98's meal intakes for the last 3 days. She said she
had not looked at Resident #72 and Resident #98's care plan recently. She said Resident #98 and Resident
#72 did not eat much the last three days. CNA A said maybe one day Resident #98 and Resident #72 ate
25-50% of their food. She said she was responsible for documenting meal intake and LVNs ensured it was
inputted and correct. CNA A said it was important to document meal intake so the dietician would know if
she needed to make changes. She said it was important to follow the care plan intervention to offer frozen
treats to Resident #98 to help with weight loss and let the dietician know if the interventions worked.

the meal intakes were documented at the end of the shift as the care plan intervention indicated. LVN D
said the kitchen placed the house shakes and frozen treats on ice in a bucket on each hall. She said the
CNAs should hand the nutrition frozen treats out to each resident. LVN D said the DON looked at the meal
intake report to determine which resident needed to be seen by the dietician or dietary manager. She said
dietary recommendations on the care plan should be followed to prevent further weight loss and improve
nutritional status. LVN D said if recommendations were not followed, or meal intakes not documented
residents were at risk for dehydration or illnesses.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 8:20 a.m., LVN C said CNAs were responsible for documenting meal
intakes. She said Resident #72 and Resident #98 were being monitored for weight loss. LVN C said

documenting meal intakes. LVN C said it was important to document meal intakes to monitor for change of
condition and know if a resident needed a supplement. She said dietary recommendation should be
followed to prevent decline, skin breakdown, and improve nutrition.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 9:45 a.m., the DON said CNAs and LVNs should document resident's
meal intake in the facility's computer system. She said nursing staff were responsible for providing resident
frozen treats per the doctor's orders and meal tickets. The DON said it was important to document meal
intake and give dietary recommendations so dietary interventions could be planned, and new interventions
developed, or revisions made to the care plan to prevent further weight loss. The DON said all nursing staff
had access to resident's care plans on the facility's electronic charting system and should be followed. She
said managers should review residents' charts to ensure it was being done and the dietician would also
look at the information documented.
During an interview on 08/31/23 at 10:41 a.m., the ADM said CNAs should document meal intake amounts.
He said nursing staff and dietary were responsible for dietary recommendations. The ADM said it was

medication if it was an issue given multiple doses to close together. LVN C said sometime medication had
to be given early or late to get the medication back on schedule. She said it was important to give
scheduled medication on time because the body was used to get it at a certain time, and it could be a
specific reason why it was ordered at that time. She said the managers and DON should oversee LVNs to
ensure medications were given on schedule.

Resident #68 did not receive her Lorazepam on 08/28/23 at 8:00 PM as Resident #68 had an extra tablet.
LVN R said she counted the cart with the LVN U that morning and she did not know how that was missed.
Record review of Resident #68's controlled drug administration record for lorazepam 1 mg tablet dated
08/12/23-08/28/23, indicated LVN U signed out she administered one tablet on 08/28/23 at 8:00 PM with 13
tablets remaining.

8:00 PM on 08/28/23 by LVN U.
During an interview on 08/29/23 at 11:03 AM, the DON said if there was an extra tablet in the packet then it
was considered as the medication was not given.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 1:40 PM, LVN U said she remembered popping the blister pack and said
she must have popped the wrong hole. LVN U said she thought she had given Resident #68 her Lorazepam

U said was unsure who she counted the medication cart with, but remembers the count being correct when
she left.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 04:19 PM, ADON O said she expected the DON, medical director, and
family to be notified as soon as a medication discrepancy was identified. ADON O said there should be a
witness when a nurse wastes a narcotic medication. ADON O said she expected the nurse to find a witness
as there was never just one nurse in the building. ADON O said the nurse was responsible for counting the
narcotic medications prior to obtaining responsibility of that cart and ensuring the count was correct.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 4:50 PM, the Administrator said with a narcotic medication discrepancy
he expected the DON to be notified. The Administrator said he expected the nurse to have a witness when
wasting a narcotic medication. The Administrator said failure to do so would cause the employee to be
suspended pending investigation, notifying HHSC, notifying the medical director, and calling the local
authorities. The Administrator said the charge nurse was responsible for counting the medication cart
before and at end of shift with the oncoming nurse or the nurse that was leaving. The Administrator said if
the narcotic count indicated there was an extra tablet, then the medication was considered as not
administered.

Record review of Resident #13's undated comprehensive care plan indicated she had diagnoses of
overactive bladder, stroke, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, fluid retention, anxiety, renal
insufficiency (poor function of the kidneys that may be due to a reduction in blood-flow to the kidneys
caused by renal artery disease), depression and was at risk for pain. The care plan interventions indicated
to administer medications as ordered.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation and interview on 08/28/23 at 10:03 AM, Resident #13 was sitting up in her
wheelchair in her room. A bottle of lubricating eye drops was on her bed. Resident #13 said she had the
eye drops due to her dry eyes. Resident #13 also had a bottle of cranberry 500 mg tablets in a white basket
that was on top of the seat of the recliner. Inside the white basket were also 2 medicine cups with pills.
Resident #13 said the pills were her pills of the day that LVN CC had left for her to take as she knows she
will take them. Resident #13 said the nurse comes back and checks to see if I took them.
During an observation and interview on 08/28/23 at 10:12 AM, LVN CC entered Resident #13's room and
obtained the bottle of cranberry tablets, the lubricating eye drops and the 2 medicine cups with pills. LVN
CC said she had given Resident #13 her medications to take that morning, turned her back, and then
administered Resident #13's roommate her medications. LVN CC said she figured Resident #13 had taken
the medications. LVN CC said the pills in the medication cups were Resident #13's morning medications.
One medicine cup had 12 unidentified pills and the other had 6 unidentified pills which were left from her
morning medications. LVN CC said Resident #13 liked her prescription medications in one cup and her
OTC medications in another cup. LVN CC said the risk of Resident #13 having medications at bedside was
someone could go in and take them or Resident #13 could take them whenever she wanted. LVN CC said
she was responsible for ensuring Resident #13 took her medications. LVN CC said she was unaware
Resident #13 had a bottle of cranberry tablets or the lubricating eye drops. LVN CC said the family tends to
bring OTC medications and place them wherever they want. LVN CC said the risks of having OTC
medications at bedside was someone could come in and take them. LVN CC said she was responsible for
ensuring the residents did not have OTC medications at bedside. LVN CC said if medications were kept at
beside there should be a physician's order indicating this and a self-administration assessment completed.
LVN CC said she had not completed a self-administration assessment on Resident #13.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 4:19 PM, ADON O said she expected the nurse to ensure medications
were taken unless the resident had an order for self-administration. ADON O said by not ensuring
medications were taken could cause a resident to miss a dose, resident could forget to take them, or other
residents could take them. ADON O said the nurse who was administering the medications was responsible
for ensuring medications were taken and not left at bedside. ADON O said OTC medications were not to be
at bedside unless the resident had an order and an assessment that they could have at bedside. ADON O
said by not knowing if a resident had OTC medications at bedside could cause medication to interfere with
medications they were currently taking. ADON O said everyone was responsible for ensuring OTC
medications were not at bedside.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 4:50 PM, the Administrator said he expected the nurse to ensure
medications were taken by the resident. The Administrator said OTC medications should be kept under lock
and key to ensure proper administration. The Administrator said residents could have medications at
bedside if they had a physician's order for self-administration. The Administrator said by having medications
at bedside, anyone could go in the room and ingest them.
During an interview on 08/30/23 at 5:22 PM, the DON said she expected medications not to be left at
