Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to ensure pain management was provided to
residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 1 (Resident #77) out of 6 residents
reviewed for pain management. The facility failed to ensure Resident #77's pain medications were
administered timely prior to traveling in an ambulance to the dialysis facility on 07/23/25 when he rated his
pain as an 8 out of 10 pain scale. This failure could place Resident #77 and other residents at risk of not
receiving timely pain management care which could result in prolonged pain and diminished quality of
life.Findings included: Record review of Resident #77's face sheet dated 07/23/25 revealed a [AGE]
year-old male readmitted to the facility on [DATE], initially admitted on [DATE] and originally admitted on
[DATE]. His diagnoses included fracture of the shin bones of left and right leg, COPD (chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease - a lung condition caused by damage to the airway), end stage renal disease (kidneys
no longer function adequately requiring dialysis or transplant), cirrhosis of the liver (abnormal liver function),
Osteoarthritis (degeneration of joint cartilage and bone), hypotension, heart failure, depression, anxiety,
chronic pain syndrome and dependence on renal dialysis. Record review of Resident #77's quarterly MDS
dated [DATE] revealed a BIMs score of 14 out of 15 indicating intact cognition. He had no behaviors or
rejection of care. He used a wheelchair for mobility. Pain intensity over the last 5 days was rated at a 6 out
of 10, with zero being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever imagined. Further review revealed he was
taking antianxiety and opioid medications. Record review of Resident #77's undated care plan revealed:

service 7/9/25 by Physician-F revealed in part: .Pain Management Continue Oxycodone 10 mg every 12
hours scheduled and 5 mg every 6 hours as needed for breakthrough pain. Also continue
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325 mg every 6 hours as needed. Monitor pain levels, effectiveness of
regimen, and signs of sedation, constipation, or misuse. Consider simplifying opioid regimen to avoid
overlapping narcotics if sedation or altered mental status arises. Observation and interview on 07/22/25 at
12:56PM, revealed Resident #77 was in the dining room, reclined in a specialized wheelchair. He had an
external fixator/traction device, the pins were in his left leg. He had dressings to his feet. He was feeding
himself and in no distress. Resident #77 stated he was hit by a truck and was in the hospital for surgery to
his leg. Observation and interview on 07/23/25 at 6:55 AM, Resident #77 stated the transportation to
dialysis would be arriving soon and that he was due for pain medications: Oxycodone and
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325mg at 7:30AM. He stated sometimes it may take 2.5 hours before he
received pain meds after he asked for them. He stated because of the delay in receiving pain medication
when he requested, it would disrupt his medication schedule preventing him from adequate pain control
before going to dialysis. He stated it infuriated him and sometimes he cried when he ended up missing a
dose of pain medication. He was observed scratching his skin and moving his upper body without any
hesitation. At 7:15 AM Resident #77 turned on the call light. Nursing staff answered a few minutes later.
Resident #77 requested his pain meds and told the nurse he was going to dialysis very soon. Resident #77
stated he usually asked multiple times to get what he needed before leaving for dialysis and at times he
would not receive his pain meds. He stated his pain was in his leg and his back. At 7:35 AM RN-A assessed
Resident #7, checked his vital signs then Resident #77 told her his pain level was 8 out of 10. Interview on
07/23/25 at 7:45 AM, RN-A stated Resident #77's Oxycodone was scheduled every 12 hours and was due
at 9:00AM, the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325mg was as needed for pain. RN-A stated she would
need to wait closer to 8:00AM to administer the medications as the scheduled Oxycodone could only be
given one hour before or one hour after 9:00 AM RN-A stated the plan was to wean down the amount of
narcotics Resident #77 was taking and that he had history of drug seeking and that he was used to the
drugs he was receiving while in hospital. Observation on 7/23/25 at 7:55 AM, revealed Resident #77 was in
the gurney as transportation attendants wheeled the resident down the hall. Observation on 7/23/25 at

she would expect a resident's pain to be addressed in a timely manner, get them the pain med, offer
repositioning, if still not working she would notify the MD. ADON-I stated 2 hours is not acceptable for
waiting on pain med and maybe 1-2 hours would be maximum, but she was unsure and would have to
check the policy. ADON-I stated the pain level would depend on the individual resident's interpretation of
pain. ADON-I stated if the pain level was a 4 or 5 and the resident was comfortable and wanted more pain
medication, she would administer what was due, try repositioning or call the doctor. ADON-I stated she
expected the nursing staff to do the same. ADON-I stated no one wants to be in constant pain, the resident
may be grumpy and not want to do any ADLs. ADON-I stated it could worsen their health status. ADON-I
stated medications can be given one hour before or one hour after scheduled order for time. ADON-I stated
Resident #77 was followed by pain management doctor at one time, she was unsure but may be due to
insurance. ADON-I stated Resident #77's pain management was under Physician-F who was the primary
care physician. In an interview on 07/24/25 at 9:45 AM, the ADON/IP stated she was familiar with Resident
#77. The ADON/IP stated if a resident asks for pain medication immediately, she expected nursing staff to
check in 30minutes to see if the pain had subsided and if not, she would notify the MD for further
instructions. The ADON/IP stated they[BR10] would try comfort measures as well to help manage pain. The
ADON/IP stated if a resident had uncontrolled pain, she would contact the MD to adjust the meds. The
ADON/IP stated most of the time medications would be scheduled around appointments, if not then the MD
would be contacted to reschedule. The ADON/IP stated Resident #77 had a pain specialist and then pain
management was transitioned to the provider. The ADON/IP stated transportation for dialysis would usually
leave at 8:15am and as far as she knew he was receiving the 9:00AM meds before leaving. The ADON/IP
stated Resident #77 does have breakthrough pain, she visits with him on multiple occasions and had not
mentioned any issues about not getting his pain meds. The ADON/IP stated the medication aide was
responsible for administering his 9:00AM medications and if they were missed, she expected to be notified
so she can contact the MD and adjust the times. In a telephone interview on 07/24/25 at 12:40 PM,
Physician-F stated he was very familiar with Resident #77 and that he was responsible for managing his
pain meds. Physician-F stated Resident #77 was pain med seeking and that his subjective determination of
pain can be different for everyone and his was a little bit off. Physician-F stated he does not use a pain
scale but uses objective findings instead. Physician-F stated he received calls about his pain every week
about his pain status and the nurses will also text him on his cell phone frequently. Physician-F stated he
sees Resident #77 three days a week and would have complaints about pain. Physician-F stated Resident
#77 can get his medications either before or after dialysis and he had already made the changes when
ADON/IP notified him. In an observation and interview on 07/23/25 at 1:45 PM, revealed Resident #77
returned from dialysis and was in the dining room playing cards, no distress was noted. He stated normally
it would take about one hour to receive his pain medications. When asked if he remembers what time he
asked for pain medication this morning, he stated it was just before the surveyors entered his room around
7:00AM. He stated the ride in the ambulance was rough and his pain level was 8-9/10 at the time. He stated
he would ask the drivers to avoid bumps in the road, but they could not promise that. In an Interview on
07/24/25 at 1:47 PM, LVN-C stated when Resident #77 requests pain medication, he reports his pain to be
a 7 or 8 out of 10, she would then check which pain medication could be given. LVN-C stated she has seen
Resident #77 cry or scream loudly in the last month when he did not get his pain medications when he
asked. LVN-C stated she would address the pain by offering available pain medication, repositioning such
as moving him into his wheelchair and if that did not work, she would contact the MD for further
instructions. Interview on 07/24/25 at 2:00 PM, RN-D stated

Resident #77 received all his scheduled and PRN pain medications. RN-D stated his tolerance to pain
medications was high, however with his illness and injury he was often in pain and that his pain level was a
7 or 8 out of 10. RN-D stated she would use non-pharmacological interventions to help him with the pain.
RN-D stated he did well when up in the wheelchair with activities for distraction. RN-D stated she would
contact the physician after two to three episodes of no pain relief for further instructions. Interview on
7/25/25 at 9:40 AM, RN-A stated on dialysis days she was aware Resident #77 would be gone for at least 6
hours and that he would need the pain coverage so that was why she gave both the Oxycodone and
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral tablet 10-325mg at 8:00 AM on 07/23/25. RN-A stated sometimes it
could take a little time to get what Resident #77 needed especially when in the middle of doing something
for another resident and could not always respond as quickly as he would like but she tried to get to him in
an hour or less. Record review of the facility policy and procedure for Administering Pain Medication,
revised October 2022, revealed in part: The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for assessing
the resident's level of pain prior to administering analgesic pain medication.General Guidelines 1. The pain
management program is based on a facility-wide commitment to appropriate assessment and treatment of
pain, based on professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the resident's choices
related to pain management. 2. Pain management is defined as the process of alleviating the resident's
pain based on his or her clinical condition and established treatment goals.5. Acute pain (or significant
worsening of chronic pain) should be assessed every 30 to 60 minutes after onset and reassessed as
indicated until relief is obtained.7.a. Any resident who uses opioids for long-term management of chronic
pain is at risk for opioid overdose.9. Re-evaluate the resident's level of pain 30-60 minutes after
administering.

Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
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 residents were free of significant
medication error for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #77) reviewed for medication administration.The facility
failed to ensure Resident #77 received the correct controlled substance for pain medication as ordered by
the physician leading to multiple opioid administrations between 06/12/25 and 07/26/25.-Resident #77's
narcotic sheets for Oxycontin ER 10mg contained documented sign out dates from 06/12/25 to 07/26/25.
There were no physician orders for Oxycontin ER 10mg.-Resident #77's narcotic sheet for Oxycodone IR
10mg one tablet every 12 hours contained documented sign out dates that did not match the instructions
on the pharmacy label. These failures could place other residents at risk of medication errors, opioid
overdose, CNS depression, respiratory distress and death.Findings included:Record review of Resident
#77's face sheet dated 07/23/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male readmitted to the facility on [DATE], initially
admitted on [DATE] and originally admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses included fracture of the shin bones of
left and right leg, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) (a lung condition caused by damage to
the airway, end stage renal disease (kidneys no longer function adequately requiring dialysis or transplant),
cirrhosis of the liver (abnormal liver function), Osteoarthritis (degeneration of joint cartilage and bone),
hypotension, heart failure, depression, anxiety, chronic pain syndrome and dependence on renal dialysis.
Record review of Resident #77's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMs score of 14 out of 15
indicating intact cognition. He had no behaviors or rejection of care. He used a wheelchair for mobility. Pain
intensity over the last 5 days was rated at a 6 out of 10, with zero being no pain and 10 being the worst pain
ever imagined. Further review revealed he was taking antianxiety and opioid medications. Record review of
Resident #77's order summary report of active orders as of 07/23/25 revealed orders for: -Oxycodone HCL
oral tablet 10mg every 12 hours for pain management, order date 07/10/25. -Oxycodone HCL oral tablet
5mg every 6 hours as needed for pain, order date 06/24/25. -Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral tablet

06/28/25 to 07/26/25. The hospital physician was listed as the prescriber on the pharmacy label and not
Resident #77's facility Physician. - Oxycodone IR 10mg every 12 hours, received on 07/04/25, and doses
were signed out on 07/04/25 and signed out on various dates through to 07/23/25. The signed dates were
inconsistent with the instructions on the pharmacy label and not given every 12 hours. Record review of
Resident #77's June and July 2025 MARs printed on 07/23/25 indicated nursing staff documented
administration of Oxycodone HCL 10mg taper orders starting 06/11/25 to 07/08/25 then continued
documenting twice daily until 07/26/25 except for 07/10/25, 07/11/25, 7/15/25, 07/21/25 when only one
dose daily was administered. Resident #77 had no order listed on the MARs for Oxycontin ER 10mg taper
orders. Record review of Resident #77's July 2025 MAR printed on 07/25/25 indicated nursing staff
documented the administration of Oxycodone HCL 10mg 1 tablets every 12 hours for 7 days: -07/01/25 at
8:00 PM, 07/02/25 8:00 AM dose was held and not given, 8:00PM dose was given. Resident #77 received
the medication twice daily on 07/03/25, 07/04/25, 07/05/25,07/06/25, 07/07/25 and 07/08/25 at 8:00AM.
Resident #77 had no order listed on the MARs for Oxycontin ER 10mg one tablet twice daily for 7 days.
Further review revealed Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral tablet 10-325mg one tablet every 6 hours as
needed for pain was documented as administered one to 4 times per day for 19 days between 7/5/25 and
7/25/25. Resident #77's pain levels were documented 4 to 8 out of 10 (10 being the worst pain imaginable).
Further review of Resident #77's July 2025 MAR revealed Oxycodone HCL oral tablet 5mg every 6 hours
as needed for pain was documented as administered one to 3 times per day, for 17 days between 07/01/25
and 07/24/25. Pain levels were documented 4 to 9 out of a score of 10. Observation and interview on
07/23/25 at 6:55 AM, Resident #77 stated he was hit by a truck and was in the hospital for surgery to his
leg. He had metal pins and a metal halo around his left leg. He stated he received Oxycodone twice a day
and was due for the scheduled 9:00AM dose. He stated he could also have Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen
oral tablet 10-325mg every 6 hours if he needed. He stated sometimes it may take 2.5 hours before he
received pain meds after he asked for them. Then he later stated on the average it took one hour. He stated
his pain was in his leg and his back and that his pain level was 8 out of 10. Observed RN-A administer
Oxycodone IR 10mg and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 10-325mg one tablet at 8:00 AM prior to Resident
#77 leaving for dialysis. In an interview on 07/25/25 at 9:30am, the DON stated the Oxycodone HCL was
the same as the Oxycodone ER (Oxycontin). The DON stated she expected that the last person to
administer the Oxycodone on 07/08/25 to Resident #77 should have removed it from the med cart, so there
was no confusion. The DON confirmed the initials and stated MA-B administered the last dose on 07/08/25.
The DON stated Resident #77 should not have been receiving Oxycodone ER 10mg after 07/08/25 without
a physician's order. The DON stated the Oxycodone IR 10mg should have been started after 07/08/25. The
DON stated continued administration of Oxycodone ER after 07/08/25 was a medication error that should
not have happened and that it was probably due to a system failure. The DON stated the area of resident
pain medication needed attention too, but her focus had been on behaviors since there were many
residents with issues. The DON stated she expected nursing staff to match physician orders with the
medication being administered and to follow the 5 rights of medication administration to prevent med errors.
Record review of Resident #77's narcotic sheet for Oxycontin ER 10mg revealed a tablet was signed out on
07/08/25 at 8:00 AM. Record review of Resident #77's July MAR indicated Oxycodone HCL 10mg tablet
was documented as administered by MA-B on 07/08/25 at 8:00 AM. On 07/26/25 at 9:20AM an attempt
was made to contact MA-B via telephone. A voice message was left. No return call was received. In an
interview on 07/26/25 at 12:35 PM, LVN-C stated she would check physician's orders in PCC and verify the
medication card matched with the narcotic sheet. LVN-C stated she believed there may have been a

oxycodone but was unsure of the date. LVN-C stated Oxycodone ER meant extended release, and IR
meant immediate release and the danger of mixing them up could be overdose, or in some cases may not
be effective or cause constipation. In an interview on 07/26/25 at 12:47 PM, RN-A stated she would confirm
orders, check for the right resident, right medication, right dose and right time prior to administering
medications. She stated administering the wrong dose of Oxycodone could place the resident at risk for
lethargy, decreased vitals or decreased breathing. She stated since she was the charge nurse for the unit
where Resident #77 resided, she was ultimately responsible to remove the Oxycodone ER 10mg
(Oxycontin) when the order changed. She stated even prior to surgery Resident #77 was taking
Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen for generalized pain and getting more Oxycodone could affect his mood as
he had bouts where the meds did not really help him, and she would reposition the resident and if still in
pain she would notify the MD. She stated receiving IR and ER together may affect his pain levels, the
medication may work one day and not the next day. She stated she was in charge, and it should have not
happened, and it was her responsibility to check medications. In a telephone interview on 07/26/25 at
1:20PM, RN-D stated she was familiar with Resident #77. RN-D confirmed initials on the Oxycontin ER
10mg sign out sheet. She stated she was aware the Oxycontin was a 7-day taper. She stated when she
administered medication she would check the order, the last time it was received, ask the resident about his
pain level and follow the 5 rights of medication administration, which included the right name, time and
dosage. She stated Resident #77 was precise with his pain levels. She stated the risks of using multiple
opioids depended on the resident's tolerance level and Resident #77 was taking opioids daily and had a
high tolerance. She stated even before the Oxycodone he was taking Norco every 6 hours. She stated it
didn't affect him much because he would tell her he was still in pain; she would call the doctor. She stated
the difference between Oxycodone IR and ER was the IR was used for acute pain and ER for chronic pain.
In an interview on 07/26/25 at 1:40 PM, MA-E stated her steps when she administers medications included
to check the MAR and confirm the order on the blister packet: the dose and the route. MA-E stated
oxycodone ER lasts longer than the IR. MA-E stated if the last tablet was given, the blister pack and
narcotic sheet would be given to the DON. MA-E stated if it was the last dose of oxycodone to be given it
would have been at night and she would not be able to give the blister pack to the DON and it should have
been taken care of the next day. MA-E stated she did not communicate that to the next med aide MA-E
stated she went on vacation. MA-E stated the Oxycodone IR was supposed to continue after the taper
order. MA-E confirmed her initials on 7/8/25 at 8:00PM on the narcotic sheet for Oxycontin ER 10mg
tablets. In an interview on 07/26/25 at 2:15PM, the Administrator stated the nurses would be responsible for
calling the physician to get an order to discontinue a medication. The Administrator stated for anything
clinical the ADON and DON would be responsible for reviewing the resident's pain management profile. The
Administrator stated he did not know what happened with Resident #77's orders for oxycodone because he
was not clinical and did not know how medication errors would impact residents. In a telephone interview
on 07/26/25 at 2:30 PM, Resident #77's Physician-F stated there was a med error, there were two issues,
and it was his fault when requesting the oxycodone. Physician-F stated he was responsible as there were
two prescriptions, one for oxycodone IR and one for ER. He stated one of them was there to taper the drug
down and he may have sent another order by mistake. Physician-F stated Resident #77 was back on
Oxycodone ER twice daily and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen for breakthrough pain. Physician-F stated the
error with the Oxycodone would not have an adverse effect on Resident #77 since it was not working very
well with his pain. When asked how addictive was Oxycodone, Physician-F stated Resident #77 did have
pain and needed the medication, they must continue to monitor and taper when needed. In a

telephone interview on 07/27/25 at 11:20AM, Physician-F stated the Oxycodone IR 10mg was supposed to
be tapered then eventually Resident #77 would stay on Oxycodone ER 10mg. Physician-F stated if
Oxycodone HCL was the prescription, the pharmacy will usually fill it as Oxycodone IR. Physician-F stated
he expected the nurses/med aides to check the orders before giving a medication to ensure the ordered
medication was the same on the medication blister pack. He stated the Oxycodone ER helped with his pain
but not the Oxycodone IR. Physician-F stated switching prescribing systems in a few days, will catch any
mistakes. Record review of the facility policy and procedure for Administering oral medications, revised
October 2010, revealed in part: The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the safe
administration of oral medications. Preparation 1. Verify that there is a physician's medication order for the
procedure.Steps in the Procedure.9.6. Check the label on the medication to confirm the medication name
and dose with the MAR. Record review of the facility policy and procedure for Controlled Substances,
revised November 2022, revealed in part: The facility complies with all laws, regulations, and other
requirements related to handling, storage, disposal and documentation of controlled medications (listed as
Schedule II-V of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1976).13. Controlled
substances remaining in the facility after the order has been discontinued or the resident has been

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to, in accordance with State and
Federal laws, store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments under proper temperature controls,
and permit only authorized personnel to have access to the keys for one of four medication carts reviewed
for storage of medications. RN-M failed to ensure the 200 Hall nurse medication cart was locked when
unattended. This deficient practice could place residents at risk for loss of biologicals and place residents at
risk of access to hazards.Findings included:In an observation and interview on 07/23/25 at 5:15 AM,
revealed the 200 Hall Nurse Medication Cart was in the hallway positioned just outside the entrance to a
resident's open room. The medication cart was unattended and unlocked, the lock was visibly not engaged.
The medication cart contained a variety of medications labeled with Resident names and over-the-counter
medications. The controlled substances were locked within the medication cart. RN-M was observed
walking from one end of the hall towards the medication cart. RN-M stated she was called away to get
something and forgot to lock the cart. RN-M stated the medication cart should be locked when unattended
otherwise a confused resident could open the cart and take the medications. RN-M stated it was facility
protocol to lock the cart before walking away and leaving the area.In an interview on 07/26/25 at 9:15 AM,
the DON stated the nurse or medication aide assigned to the medication cart was responsible to make sure
the cart is secure and not accessible to anyone who was not authorized access. The DON stated she would
conduct a 1:1 in-service for medication storage.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one of 5 residents (Resident
#112). -CNA-K failed to properly clean Resident #112 during incontinent care.-CNA-K failed to perform
hand hygiene between glove changes.-CNA-K and LVN-L failed to put on a gown prior to incontinent care
for Resident #112 who was in Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP). These failures could place residents at
risk of urinary tract infections (UTI), discomfort, skin breakdown and decreased quality of life. Findings
included: Record review of Resident #112's face sheet dated 07/25/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included sepsis (a blood infection), anemia (reduced number of red
blood cells), dementia, and contractures of the lower left leg. Record review of Resident #112's admission
assessment effective date 07/16/25 indicated Resident #112 had no difficulty making himself understood
and had no difficulty understanding others. Resident #112 had a urinary catheter and the resident or family
reported recurrent urinary tract infections. Resident #112 required limited assistance of one person for bed
mobility. Record review of Resident #112's undated care plan revealed the resident was at risk for decline in
ADL functions, initiated on date 07/17/25. The goal was for the resident to be well dressed, groomed, clean,
odor free and will not decline in ADL functioning over the next 90 days. Interventions included staff
assistance for bed mobility, toileting and personal hygiene. The resident was at risk for skin breakdown and
injury. The goal was for resident's skin to remain clean/dry, intact without evidence of breakdown over the
next 90 days. Interventions included weekly assessment of skin and as needed and report any breakdown
to MD/RP. The resident had a urinary catheter in place and was at risk for increased UTIs and skin
breakdown. The goal was for the urinary catheter to remain patent and the resident to not develop incidents
of UTIs and skin breakdown. Interventions included urinary catheter care as ordered. The resident had had
wound to the tailbone and to the lower legs. The goal was for the resident's skin to remain clean/dry,
healing with no further complications. Interventions included to perform treatment per MD order. Record
review of Resident #112's July 2025 MAR/TAR revealed wound care to the sacrum was performed daily.
Observation and interview of incontinent care on 07/22/25 at 3:29 PM revealed Resident #112 had a
urinary catheter and a catheter anchor was in place for security. Resident #112 had a PICC line
(peripherally inserted central catheter) to the inner upper right arm, the dressing was clean/dry/intact and
dated 07/11. LVN-L was assisting CNA-K with the procedure. CNA-K and LVN-L washed their hands at the
sink and put on clean gloves. CNA-K and LVN-L did not put on gowns. CNA-K and LVN-L opened Resident
#112's brief, the resident had a large amount of soft-loose stool. CNA-K began by using cleansing wipes to
remove all the stool around the groin and scrotum. CNA-K removed her used gloves, did not hand sanitize,
put on clean gloves, then used clean wipes to cleanse the lower abdomen and penis. Resident #112 was
rolled to his right side. CNA-K used clean wipes to clean all the stool from the rectum and buttocks. CNA-K
removed her used gloves, did not hand sanitize, then put on clean gloves. The resident had a small wound
to the sacrum. CNA-K applied barrier cream to the surrounding skin. CNA-K removed the used gloves, did
not wash her hands and put on clean gloves then positioned the clean brief, secured the brief and covered
the resident with bed sheets. CNA-K and LVN-L removed their gloves, washed theirs hands and gathered
the garbage bags to remove from the room. LVN-L stated she forgot to put on a gown because she was so
excited to do the nailcare just prior to incontinent care. LVN-L stated the resident was to be in EBP for the

EBP was for residents with open wounds and urinary catheters CNA-K stated she should have put on a
gown as well as gloves prior to starting the procedure but she was nervous and forgot. CNA-K stated she
should have started cleaning the lower abdomen, then the groin and penis area first but she did not
because she wanted to get all the stool cleaned up first. She stated she was taught to clean from penis first
it should have been cleaned first because she should not have gone from dirty area to clean, and the
rationale was to help prevent infections and cross-contamination. CNA-K stated she should have removed
dirty used gloves and hand sanitization or wash hands, but she was nervous and forgot. CNA-K stated the
risk to the resident was cross-contamination and infection. In an interview on 7/25/25 at 3:15 PM, the DON
stated a gown, and gloves were to be worn during incontinent care for a resident on EBP in order to help

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and
comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for environmental
concerns.The facility failed to properly dispose of waste in the appropriate receptacles. Two red cylindrical
32-gallon containers with white letters on the outside of it reading Infectious Waste: Biohazard containing
unknown waste were located outside of the facility. This deficient practice could place residents, staff, and
the public at risk of being exposed to potentially hazardous waste.The findings included: Observation on
07/22/2025 at 1:51 PM revealed 1 red, cylindrical, 32-gallon container without a lid, and with white letters
on the outside of it reading Infectious Waste: Biohazard was located outside of the facility near the
generator. The container held red bags of unknown origin and water. The container appeared to have been
outside exposed to the weather for some time as some of the red bags were deteriorated. Observation on
07/22/2025 at 1:53 PM revealed 1 red, cylindrical, 32-gallon container without a lid, and with white letters
on the outside of it reading Infectious Waste: Biohazard located outside of the facility near a storage shed.
The container had various items of trash along with red biohazard bags. During an Interview on 07/24/2025
10:30 AM with the ADON/IP, she reported when asked about the facility process regarding use of the red
biohazard bags, they only used the bags for residents in isolation. They kept the biohazard box with the red
bag liner in the resident's room if they were on isolation. Once the bag needed to be removed, they closed
the box lid and removed the box from the room. The box was taken to the Medical Waste room. They had a
contract service that picked up the boxes from the medical waste room. The boxes and bags were not taken
outside the building by staff. She was not aware of any biohazard containers outside of the building and
said there was no reason to take it outside when it was picked up by the service inside the building. They
don't use red garbage bins for disposal, and she did not know why there were red biohazard containers
outside the building.Observation on 7/24/25 at 10:33 AM of the Medical Waste room revealed an unlocked
closet with Medical Waste noted on the door. The room contained biohazard boxes and red biohazard bags.
There were approximately 30 folded, unused boxes, 3 boxes filled and closed, and 1 box, lined with a red
bag was open for use.During an interview on 07/25/2025 11:37 AM with the Administrator about biohazard
containers located outside the building, he reported he did not know what was inside of them or how long
they had been there. They had been emptied and discarded. During an interview on 07/25/2025 11:40am
with the Maintenance Director, he reported he did not know how long the containers were there, probably
for years. He did not know what was in the containers and reported that they were not used for biohazard
disposal. The bags were disintegrating from being outside and they were not able to tell what the contents
had been. The red containers have been disposed of in the dumpster.
