F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Interview on 06/20/25 at 12:18 PM, the DON revealed Resident #29's use of restraints was not care planned and there was no assessment to show the need for physical restraints for the resident. She revealed the use of restraints was a verbal order from the doctor, but it needed to be signed and entered into the resident's medical record. She revealed when they entered the doctor's order, they would add what health condition it was used for in the additional comments. She revealed it was important for resident safety because restraints could lead to injury. Attempted interview with Resident #29 on 06/20/25 at 12:36PM was unsuccessful, the resident refused the interview. Interview on 06/20/25 at 12:57 PM, the DON revealed there was not an assessment available to complete for using restraints on Resident #29 for medication administration. She revealed the facility had created an assessment so they could complete this assessment before doing a therapeutic hold on Resident #29 for medication administration.

Interview on 06/20/25 at 02:01 PM, the MD revealed he was called before the nursing staff held Resident #29 down for medication administration. He revealed Resident #29 was on a special psychiatric medication and she has had, on more than one occasion, been held because she was yelling and throwing items. He revealed the facility called and asked him if this was appropriate to hold Resident #29 for medication administrator. He revealed for resident's comfort and well-being, medication was vital because there could be an emergency room trip if she had not received these medications. He revealed Resident #29 was not harmed in anyway, because the medication was administered in a respectful and non-violent manner. He revealed his orders were done verbally because the medication administration needed to be done quickly. He revealed there should be a doctor's order afterward. He revealed his order would have read: With familial consent and doctor approval, okay to hold patient for medication administration to improve uncontrolled symptoms of aggression and allow time for new medication to take effect. He revealed he may revise this order and have it read more eloquently. He revealed this should be a one-time thing and if the facility wanted to do it again, he would be contacted. He revealed this was not a long-term solution. He revealed they might need to adjust Resident #29's medication regimen to have Resident #29 be participate with staff more. He revealed Resident #29 had a psychiatric disturbance with aggressive behaviors. He revealed there needed to be monitoring after a therapeutic hold for medication administration for Resident #29 to watch the resident for any injuries every few hours or every shift. He revealed it was important for these components to be in place so Resident #29 was not scared in the facility and felt comfortable, learning what it's like to not be scared or agitated. Interview on 06/20/25 at 04:20 PM, the DON revealed form 3713 (consent for antipsychotic or neuroleptic medication treatment) should be completed for Haldol.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #10) reviewed for assessment accuracy. Residents Affected - Few The facility inaccurately assessed Resident #10 as not requiring a mechanical lift for transferring in the quarterly MDS submitted on 1/22/2025. This failure could lead to residents not receiving required care. Findings included: Record review of Resident #10's facesheet, printed 6/20/2025, revealed an [AGE] year-old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included muscle wasting and atrophy (muscle breakdown), other lack of coordination, and other reduced mobility. Record teview of the quarterly MDs submitted 4/24/2025 revealed a BIMS score of 06, indicating severely impaired cognition. Section GG of this MDS was not assessed. The prior quarterly MDS, submitted 1/22/2025, question GG0110 did not include mechanical lift in the assessment of prior device usage. Record review of Resident #10's comprehensive care plan, printed 6/18/2025, revealed care planning for fall prevention as evidenced by the use of the Hoyer lift. Attempted interview with Resident #10 on 6/17/2025 at 11:12 AM and again on 6/18/2025 at 10:30 AM revealed the resident was unable to be interviewed. The COTA indicated during an interview on 6/20/2025 at 09:09 AM, that Resident #10 has required use of the mechanical lift since initial admission to the facility. She also reported Resident #10 is unable to stand or bear weight at all. The ADON, serving as the MDS nurse, was interviewed on 6/20/2025 at 12:44 PM. She stated she was still receiving training for completing MDS assessments and had not completed the prior two MDS submissions for Resident #10. She was unsure why the 1/22/2025 assessment indicated that Resident #10 had not required the use of mechanical lift in the period prior, as she also recalled Resident #10 required the mechanical lift since admission. The ADON indicated potential harm of inaccurate assessments to residents was resident's not receiving required care.

Record review of Resident #5's progress notes for [DATE] did not reveal any documentation related to the administration of the Austedo XR. CMA A was interviewed on [DATE] at 5:05 PM. She stated she was responsible for administering medications to Resident #5 on [DATE]. She explained the Austedo XR was not able to be administered to Resident #5 because it was not available in the facility and did not arrive until [DATE]. She explained if a medication is not in stock, the process was to inform the charge nurse or the ADON or DON, if they were available. She stated she informed the charge nurse and the DON of the need for the Austedo XR and the pharmacy told the staff it would be delivered. She was unsure why the administration scheduled for 8:00 PM on [DATE] did not contain any documentation, as the facility policy for medications not administered was to use code 9 and type a progress note, if needed. In an attempted interview on [DATE] at 5:29 PM, LVN C was contacted by telephone but there was no answer, and the voicemail recording indicated the mailbox was full. The ADON was interviewed on [DATE] at 5:15 PM. She stated she noticed on [DATE] the medication was not in stock, so she contacted the pharmacy personally to request the medication. She said the pharmacy was unaware of the new order, and they delivered it on [DATE]. An interview on [DATE] at 5:20 PM revealed the DON was not aware that Resident #5 had not received 11 doses of the Austedo XR. She did not recall being notified by any staff member during that time.
