**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to make a comprehensive assessment of each residents'
needs, strengths, goals, life history, and preferences within 14 calendar days after admission for 1 of 21
residents (Resident #43) reviewed for accuracy of assessments. The facility failed to complete Resident
#43's admission MDS assessment, with an ARD of 06/03/2025, within 14 days of admission. This failure
could place residents at risk of not having their needs met.Findings included: Record review of a face sheet
dated 07/23/2025 indicated Resident #43 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included Alzheimer's Disease (progressive disease that destroys memory and other
important mental functions) and dementia in in other diseases classified elsewhere, severe, with other
behavioral disturbance (deterioration of memory, language, and other thinking abilities with behaviors).
Record review of Resident #43's Comprehensive MDS assessment with an ARD of 06/03/2025 indicated in
Section A0310 it was an admission assessment (required by day 14). The MDS assessment for Resident
#43 indicated in Section A1600 an entry date of 05/22/2025. The MDS assessment in Section Z0500B was
signed completed on 06/13/2025, which indicated the MDS assessment for Resident #43 was completed 9
days late. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:15 PM, MDS Coordinator D said she was responsible for
completing Resident #43's admission MDS assessment. MDS Coordinator D said the admission MDS
assessment should be completed within 14 days of admission. MDS Coordinator D said she tried her best
to complete them within the 14 days. MDS Coordinator D said she kept a calendar to keep track of the MDS
assessments that needed to be completed. MDS Coordinator D said she completed Resident #43's
admission MDS assessment late because she was working on the floor. MDS Coordinator D said not
completing the admission MDS assessment by the required timeframes could affect the way they got paid.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 4:29 PM, the Administrator said the MDS Coordinators should be
completing the MDS assessments per the requirements. The Administrator said she did not know how it
could affect the residents, but it could affect the way they got paid. Record review of the facility's policy

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an encoded, accurate, and complete MDS
discharge assessment was electronically completed and transmitted to the CMS System within 14 days
after completion for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #86) reviewed for discharge MDS assessments. The facility
failed to ensure Resident #86's discharge MDS assessment was completed within 14 days of discharge.
This failure could place residents at risk of not having records completed and submitted in a timely manner
as required.Findings include: Record review of a face sheet dated 07/23/2025 indicated Resident #86 was
an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 04/26/2025. Resident #86
was admitted with diagnoses which included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition where there is
not enough oxygen in the blood) and fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, subsequent
encounter for closed fracture with routine healing (fracture of the thigh long bone). Record review of
Resident #86's Nursing Home Discharge Item Set with an ARD of 04/26/2025 indicated Resident #86
discharged home/community on 04/26/2025. The Nursing Home Discharge Item Set was signed completed
on 05/15/2025 by MDS Coordinator E., which indicated it was completed 5 days late. During an interview
on 07/23/2025 at 3:07 PM, MDS Coordinator E said she was responsible for completing Resident #86's
discharge assessment. MDS Coordinator E said they had the discharge day plus 14 days to complete the
discharge assessments, and Resident #86's discharge assessment was completed a couple days late.
MDS Coordinator E said it was hard to complete the discharge assessments in a timely manner because
they were swamped with other MDS assessments, and the discharge assessments were not a priority.
MDS Coordinator E said MDS Coordinator D helped her to complete the discharge assessments to try to
keep them up to date. MDS Coordinator E said it was important to complete the discharge assessments
timely for CMS to be aware the residents had been discharged from the facility. During an interview on
07/23/2025 at 3:15 PM, MDS Coordinator D said Resident #86's discharge assessment was probably not
completed in a timely manner. MDS Coordinator D said their priority was the admission MDS assessments
and the skilled MDS assessments. MDS Coordinator D said she did not know the required timeframes for
completion of the discharge assessments. MDS Coordinator D said it was important to complete the
discharge MDS assessments because that was how they got paid. During an interview on 07/23/2025 at
4:32 PM, the Administrator said the MDS Coordinators were responsible for completing the discharge
assessments. The Administrator said she expected for them to be completed per the requirements. The
Administrator said not completed the discharge assessments per the requirements could affect their
reports. Record review of the MDS Final Validation Report, submission date 05/15/2025, indicated,
Resident #86's Nursing Home Item Discharge Set was completed more than 14 days after the ARD. Record
review of the facility's policy titled, MDS Completion and Submission Timeframes, revised July 2017
indicated, Our facility will conduct and submit resident assessments in accordance with current federal and
state submission timeframes. Timeframes for completion and submission of assessments is based on the
current requirements published in the Resident Assessment Instrument Manual. Record review of the
Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, Version 1.18.11 dated

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 ensure that a resident who needed respiratory
care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 3 residents
reviewed for respiratory care. (Resident #33) The facility failed to administer Resident #33's oxygen as
ordered on 07/22/25. This failure could place residents who receive respiratory care at risk for developing
respiratory complications.Findings included: Record review of Resident #33's face sheet dated 07/22/25,
indicated a [AGE] year-old male who readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included
heart failure (chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should) and acute
respiratory failure with hypercapnia (condition where the lungs cannot adequately remove carbon dioxide
from the blood, leading to dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide). Record review of Resident #33's
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was able to be understood and understood others.
Resident #33 had a BIMS score of 9 which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS
assessment indicated Resident #33 received oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #33's
comprehensive care plan revised on 09/10/24, indicated Resident #33 had oxygen therapy related to
ineffective gas exchange. The care plan indicated Resident #33 received oxygen via nasal cannula at 2
liters per minute for shortness of breath and oxygen saturation 90%. Record review of Resident #33's order
summary report dated 07/22/25, indicated he had an order for oxygen 2 liters as needed to maintain
oxygen saturation greater than 90% with an order start date of 05/29/25. The order indicated to obtain
oxygen saturation every shift and mark Y if oxygen was applied with the amount and to mark N if oxygen
was not applied. Record review of Resident #33's medication administration record dated
07/01/25-07/31/25, indicated on 07/22/25 in the AM Resident #33 was administered oxygen at 2 liters by
LVN M. During an observation on 07/22/25 at 09:07 AM Resident #33 was in his bed. He received oxygen
at 3.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula. During an observation and interview on 07/22/25 at 1:47 PM,
Resident #33 was in his bed and received oxygen at 3.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula. He said he
started using the oxygen about a week ago and was unsure of what the oxygen was supposed to be set at.
He said the nurse handled the oxygen setting. During an observation and interview on 07/22/25 at 4:29 PM,
the MDS Coordinator went to Resident #33's room and observed his oxygen setting. She said Resident
#33's oxygen was set at 4 liters per minute. She went to review his orders and said Resident #33 had an
order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute. She said the oxygen task had been marked completed by LVN M
that morning. She said the nurse making the morning rounds was responsible for ensuring the oxygen was
set at the ordered rate. She said failure to check the oxygen rate could place the resident at risk for
receiving too much oxygen or not enough which could cause them to have trouble breathing. The MDS
Coordinator went and checked Resident #33's oxygen saturation and it read 90% which she said could
have been the reason the oxygen was titrated up. She said the nurse should have made a note or notified
the doctor when the oxygen was increased. During an interview on 07/23/25 at 2:17 PM, the DON said she
strongly believed oxygen was a nursing intervention. She expected the orders and care plan to reflect the
amount of oxygen the resident received. She said every resident in the facility should have had an order for
oxygen at 2-4 liters per minute and the nurse who placed Resident #33's order should have never written it
for 2. She said the nurse should have known to write the oxygen orders for 2-4 liters per minute. She said
there were no risks for Resident #33 not receiving his oxygen at the ordered rate. During an interview on
07/23/25 at 2:40 PM, the Administrator said administration of oxygen was a nursing function and to be used
as an intervention. She said she expected orders to be obtained and the residents orders to be updated
accordingly. She said she

Record review of Resident #24's July 2025 MAR indicated his budesonide suspension 0.25mg/2ml and
Perforomist Inhalation Nebulization Solution 20 mcg/2 ml were marked as administered by LVN A for the
morning doses on 07/21/2025.
During an observation and interview on 07/21/2025 at 2:23 PM, Resident #24 was in his room, he had 2
ampules of formoterol fumerate 20 mcg/ml nebulizer on his overbed table. Resident #24 said he brought
them from home. There was clear liquid, approximately halfway full, in the chamber of Resident #24's
nebulizer. Resident #24 said it was his breathing treatment, but he did not specify who left it there or how
long it had been there.
During an interview on 07/21/2025 3:19 PM, LVN A said she was Resident #24's nurse. LVN A said she had
left Resident #24's breathing treatments (budesonide and formoterol fumerate) in his nebulizer that morning
(morning of 07/21/2025). LVN A said she tried to tell Resident #24 to do his breathing treatments. LVN A
said left the breathing treatments for him to do later in the day. LVN A said Resident #24 said he would do it
later. LVN A said she should not have left Resident #24's breathing treatment in his nebulizer. LVN A said
she should have stayed with Resident #24 until he completed his breathing treatment. LVN A said she did
not know Resident #24 had 2 ampules of formoterol fumerate on his overbed table. LVN A said she had not
given them to Resident #24. LVN A said he was not supposed to have them in his room because they had
confused residents, and someone else could go in his room and get them. LVN A said she did not know of
risks associated with leaving Resident #24's budesonide and perforomist in the nebulizer chamber.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:36 PM, the ADON said they did not use self-administration for the
residents. The ADON said they had several demented residents that could go in the rooms, and they did
not have any residents who would qualify to self-administer medications. The ADON said Resident #24
should not have had ampules of formoterol fumerate on his overbed table. The ADON said the charge
nurse, management, and the CNAs should report medications in the residents' rooms if they saw them. The
ADON said Resident #24 had memory lapses and he was not able to administer medications to himself.
The ADON said other residents could go in Resident #24's room and consume the medications, and they
could have negative reactions. The ADON said Resident #24 could potentially get double dosed. The ADON
said when a nurse administered a breathing treatment they should stay with the resident and make sure the
residents were taking the medication. The ADON said if the resident did not want to complete the breathing
treatment the nurse should document the medication as refused, but they should not leave it in the
nebulizer chamber. The ADON said leaving the medication in the nebulizer chamber could result in
Resident #24 not getting the full medication. The ADON said the residents could have respiratory issues if
they did not get the full effect of the treatment and have a negative outcome.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 3:45 PM, the DON said the residents should not have medications in
their rooms. The DON said Resident #24 should not have formoterol fumerate in his room. The DON said
the department heads should be making rounds weekly to check for medications in the residents' rooms.
The DON said medications in the residents' rooms could cause medication errors. The DON said the
nurses should not leave the breathing treatments in the nebulizer chamber. The DON said the nurses were
supposed to stay with the residents during their breathing treatment and rinse the chamber after the
treatment. The DON said leaving the medication in the chamber could result in the residents getting too
much or too little.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 4:33 PM, the Administrator said the residents should not keep
medications at the bedside. The Administrator said nursing was responsible for ensuring this did not

2. During an observation and interview on 07/22/2025 01:55 PM, LVN F entered the building and opened
the unlocked desk drawer at the nurse station and took out the keys to Building 3's medication cart. LVN F
proceeded to unlock the Building 3's medication cart and removed the locked box of narcotics and sat it on
top of the medication cart. LVN F said she normally counted down the medication cart with the other nurse
on duty and gave the medication keys to her before exiting the building. LVN F said the medication cart
keys had not been placed in a locked secured place and could place the resident's medications at risk of
misappropriation or a drug diversion. LVN F said she was not aware of the need for an affixed locked
narcotic box on the medication cart. LVN F said the box not permanently affixed could result in the entire
box being stolen and could put the residents at risk of not having medications.
During an observation and interview on 07/23/2025 at 09:14 AM, LVN N opened Building #2's medication
cart and removed the locked narcotic box of narcotics and sat it on the top of the medication cart. LVN N
said she was not aware the medication cart locked narcotic box was supposed to be permanently affixed to
the medication cart. LVN N said a drug diversion would occur if the locked narcotic box was taken.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 09:40 AM, the ADON said he was not aware that it was necessary to
have permanently affixed locked narcotic box on the medication carts. The ADON said he expected the
staff to ensure the medication cart keys stayed always secured to prevent any drug diversions.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 12:30 PM, the DON said she was not aware that it was necessary to
have a permanently affixed locked narcotic box on the medication carts. The DON said she expected all
staff to ensure the medication cart keys stayed secured by whoever was assigned to the cart to prevent
misappropriation and/or a drug diversion. The DON said it was important to ensure the residents had their
medication readily available for their needs. The DON said she and the ADON conducted random rounds
daily to check to ensure the medication carts were secured. The DON said the nurses were responsible for
ensuring the medication carts were locked.
During an interview on 07/23/2025 at 1:30 PM, the Administrator said there was a system in place to check
the medication carts. This system included the clinic staff and the pharmacy consult checking the
medication carts to ensure everything was secured and dated. The Administrator said it was important to
ensure the resident's medications were secured to prevent any misappropriation and eliminate the potential
of any drug diversions. The Administrator said a drug diversion could place the residents at risk of not
having needed medications readily available.
Record review of the facility's policy, titled, Medication Labeling and Storage, revised February 2023,
indicated, The facility stores all medications and biologicals in locked compartments under proper
temperature, humidity and light controls. Only authorized personnel have access to keys.7.controlled
substances are separately locked in permanently affixed compartments, except when using single dose
drug distribution systems.

Record review of the food preparation and service policy dated October 2017 indicated, (1) the danger
zone for food temperature is between 41 degrees and 135 degrees. This temperature range promotes the
rapid growth of pathogenic microorganisms that cause foodborne illness. (3) The longer food remain in the
danger zone the greater the risk for growth of harmful pathogens. Therefore, PHF must be maintained
below 41 degrees or above 135 degrees. Potentially hazardous food held in the danger zone for more than
4 hour (if being prepared from ingredients at room temperature) Or 6 hours (if cooked and then cooled)
may cause foodborne illness.
