Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to a clean,
comfortable, and homelike environment, which included but not limited to receiving treatment and supports
for daily living safety, for 4 of 14 residents (Resident #29, Resident #28, Resident #33, and Resident #4)
reviewed for a homelike environment.
1. The facility failed to ensure water damaged ceiling tiles above Resident #29's bed were replaced.
2. The facility failed to keep Resident #28 and Resident #33's Geri chairs (are large, padded chairs with
wheeled bases, and are designed to assist seniors with limited mobility) clean.
3. The facility failed to keep Resident #4's feeding pump and pole clean.
These failures could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life due to the lack of a well-kept
environment.
Findings included:
1. Record review of an undated face sheet revealed Resident #29 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder (a mental health problem where you experience
psychosis as well as mood symptoms), anxiety (a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness), and diabetes
mellitus (a disease of inadequate control of blood levels of glucose).
Record review of the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #29 was understood and understood
others. The MDS revealed Resident #29 had a BIMS of 14 which indicated intact cognition and only
required supervision for bed mobility, transfer and eating.
During an interview on 04/17/2023 at 10:02 a.m., Resident #29 said her only concern about living at the
facility was she felt like her ceiling may collapse and fall on her in her sleep. Resident #29 said she had
reported the problem multiple times to the maintenance man and Administrator. Resident #29 said no water
had ever dripped from the ceiling.
During an observation on 04/17/2023 at 10:04 p.m., revealed seven ceiling tiles in Resident #29's room had
large (7-12 inches) brown water stains on them. Three of the ceiling tiles over the bed of Resident #29 were

,Record review of the maintenance logs for March 2023 and April 2023 revealed no maintenance issues
were noted for Resident #29's ceiling tile repair/replacement.
During an interview on 04/19/2023 at 10:31 a.m., the Maintenance Director said he knew resident safety
was important. He said Resident #29's ceiling tile needed to be replaced as soon as possible. He said
Resident #29 had several [NAME] knacks in her room. He said Resident #29 was a tough resident to work
with and was very particular about who went into her room. He said Resident #29 had no problem with him
changing the ceiling tiles, but she was the kind of resident that did not want to be disturbed. The
maintenance man said he needed to go into her room and change the tile when she was out of the room.
He stated he planned to change the tiles while she was in the dining room or doing activities, but he always
seemed to miss the opportunity to do so. The maintenance man said he did environmental rounds daily and
he looked for issues that needed maintenance or repair. He stated he typically made a mental note, and he
sometimes logged into his daily maintenance log when a maintenance job needed to be complete. He said
Resident #29 never reported the tiles were sagging to him. He stated he was replacing the tiles as soon as
he left the interview. He stated there was a stock of drop-down tiles in the shop that was on the facility
grounds. He said management allowed him a sufficient budget to complete all maintenance projects.
During an interview on 04/19/2023 at 10:57 a.m., the Administrator said normally he did environmental
rounds daily. He said he was aware that Resident #29's ceiling tiles were sagging. He said he did not think
the Maintenance Director had time to replace the tiles. He said that the maintenance man, was responsible
for replacing the ceiling tiles. The Administrator said he knew the tiles were sagging since last week but did
not know the exact day the tiles began to sag. The Administrator said the reason it took so long to replace
them was Resident #29 was always in her bed. He said he looked for issues with the building regarding
maintenance during his walkthrough daily.

question Resident #4 about the dried enteral feeding on feeding pump and base of pole stand.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 1:49 p.m., LVN A said she had been working at the facility for a year.
She said she worked the North Hall where Resident #28, Resident #33, and Resident #4 resided. LVN A
said she did not know if cleaning the feeding pump and pole was designated to someone. She said the
nurses were disconnecting and attaching the enteral feeding for medications and feedings, so the nurse
should be making sure if it leaked then they cleaned it. LVN A said she honestly had not noticed the dried
enteral feeding on the metal pole stand. LVN A said the night shift staff was supposed to clean patient
equipment such as wheelchairs and Geri chairs. She said unclean equipment could potentially attract
insects.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 2:41 p.m., CNA B said she had been employed at the facility for 10
years. She said nurses and CNAs were responsible for cleaning the feeding pumps and poles. CNA B said
wheelchairs and Geri chairs were supposed to be cleaned by CNAs but primarily night shift CNAs. She said
it was important to have clean equipment for infection control. CNA B said residents were at risk for getting
an infection from using unclean equipment.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 3:51 p.m., the DON said nurses should clean the feeding pump and
poles but so could CNAs. She said it was important to have a sanitized environment to decrease the risk of
infection.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 4:46 p.m., the Administrator said resident equipment like wheelchairs,
Geri chairs, and feeding pumps were supposed to be cleaned by direct care staff on night shift. He said it
was important to provide residents a homelike, sanitary environment. The ADM said currently there was no
form or log for staff to sign daily or weekly to ensure direct care staff were cleaning equipment. The ADM
said the charge nurses should be ensuring the equipment was getting cleaned.
Record review of a facility Homelike Environment policy dated 02/21 revealed . residents are provided with
a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment .the facility staff and management maximize to the
extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting .clean,

positive and had been for a long period of time. The MDS coordinator said Resident #7's 04/27/22 MDS
should have been coded PASRR positive. She said after she reviewed Resident #16's MAR, he was on an
antidepressant and had been on it during last 7 days of the assessment. The MDS coordinator said
Resident #204's fall without injury on 02/08/23 should have been added to her 03/21/23 MDS. The MDS
coordinator said the corporate MDS coordinator was currently doing an audit but there was no set
schedule. She said she was responsible for 2 facilities and recently started working at the facility instead of
from home. The MDS coordinator said she occasionally made data errors or missed things. She said
incorrect information on MDSs could affect payer source and create an inadequate picture of residents. The
MDS coordinator said she was primarily responsible for the MDSs, but the Social Worker and Activity
Director had to input some information. She said the DON had to sign the MDSs due to her not being an
RN, but her signature only signified the MDS was completed not necessarily correct.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 3:51 p.m., the DON said she expected the MDSs to be accurately
coded. She said the MDS coordinator was responsible for the accuracy of the MDS. The DON said the
corporate MDS coordinator was supposed to oversee the facility's MDS to ensure accurate MDSs. She said
her signature on the paperwork only signified the MDS was completed. The DON said an inaccurate MDS
affected payment amounts and development of the care plan. She said the residents could not receive the
services they needed.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 4:46 p.m., the Administrator said he relied on the MDS coordinator to
input the correct information on the MDSs. He said during daily morning meetings, he asked about the
transmission of the MDSs being on time to the state. The ADM said he expected accurate and timely
MDSs. He said incorrect MDSs affected the information transmitted to State. The ADM said the MDS
coordinator was responsible for accurate MDSs and the corporate MDS was monitoring with frequent
audits.
Record review of a facility Certifying Accuracy of the Resident Assessment policy dated 11/19 revealed .the
information captured on the assessment reflects the status of the resident during the observation period for
that assessment .the Resident Assessment Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that an MDS

CNAs charted meal intake, which was important to address weight decline, help decide if a resident
needed a health shake, and to know if the resident received proper nutrition. She not documenting meal
intake could provide the wrong information or picture to upper management, MD, or dietician. LVN A said
nurses should make sure CNAs document meal intakes.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 2:41 p.m., CNA B said CNAs were responsible for documenting every
meal intake in the computer system. She said after each meal CNAs were supposed to write percentages
on a sheet in the dining room then input the information into the computer system as soon as possible.
CNA B said it was important to document meal intakes to see if residents were eating, monitor weight loss,
decide if they needed a supplement. She said good meal intake was important for nutrition and wound
healing.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 2:28 p.m., the MDS coordinator said she was responsible for MDSs and
care plans for the facility. She said Resident #4, Resident #19 and Resident #33 were coded on the MDS
for limited range of motion. The MDS coordinator said some residents had limited range of motion without
having contractures. She said if the limited range of motion did not affect their functional ability or there was
no contracture diagnosis then she would not care plan the limited range of motion. The MDS coordinator
said until recently she worked from home and could not assess residents limited range of motion. She said
she did get a list of residents today (04/19/23) of all the residents with contractures and was in the process
of making care plan problems. The MDS coordinator said she assessed Resident #4, Resident #19, and
Resident #33 and they had limited range of motion with contractures which should have been care planned.
She said the Rehab Director had also recently started so they had not developed a process to
communicate with each other about resident with contractures and intervention in place by therapy that
needed to be added to the care plan such as Resident #4's interventions. The MDS coordinator said the
facility was going to start having daily skilled nursing meetings regarding residents with limited range of
motion/contractures, therapy, and restorative care instead of weekly to help ensure residents care areas
were properly care planned.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 3:51 p.m., the DON said residents with limited range of motion and/or
contractures such as Resident #19 and Resident #33 should have had a care plan developed. She said if
the limited range of motion was coded on the MDS, then it should have been care planned. The DON said
the MDS coordinator, nurses, and interdisciplinary team were responsible for the development of
comprehensive care plans. She said care plans were important to inform staff of what the resident needed,
and the care plan was able to be viewed by CNAs in the computer system. The DON said CNAs were
responsible for charting meal intakes. She said nurses were responsible to ensure it was happening. The
DON said it helped determine weight loss causes. She said it was important to ensure the residents
received adequate nutrition.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 4:46 p.m., the Administrator said in daily morning meetings they
discussed issues and decided what should be care planned. He said care plans let all staff know the plan of
care for the residents. The ADM said it was a type of communication between staff members, residents,
and resident representatives. He said the MDS coordinator and nurses were responsible for the
development of care plans. The ADM said the corporate MDS coordinator should be overseeing the
process.
Record review of the facility's Contracture list dated 04/17/23 revealed the list included Resident #4,
Resident #19, and Resident #33.

men and women during. The ADM said the ADON, and charge nurse ensured that was happening. He said
it was important for cleanliness and dignity to provide ADL care to dependent residents.
Record review of the facility's Activities of Daily Living, Supporting policy dated 03/18 revealed, .residents
who are unable to carry out activities of daily living independently will receive the service necessary to
maintain good nutrition, grooming and personal and oral hygiene .
Review of the facility policy and procedure on care of Fingernails/Toenails, care of dated revised February
2018 revealed that the purpose of the procedure was to clean the nail bed, to keep nails trimmed, and to
prevent infections. Under General Guidelines, nail care includes daily cleaning and regular trimming.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary services to
maintain personal hygiene for residents who are unable to carry out activities of daily living receives the for
2 of 16 residents reviewed for ADLs (Residents #10, Resident #33).
The facility did not clean or trim Resident #10's fingernails.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #33 did not have facial hair and received schedule shower/bed baths.
These failures could place residents who required assistance from staff for ADLs at risk of not receiving
care and services to meet their needs which could result in poor care, risk for skin

1. Review of Resident #10's electronic face sheet dated 04/29/2022 revealed he was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses of paralytic syndrome (symmetric, ascending weakness), muscle wasting and
atrophy (Muscle atrophy is the wasting or thinning of muscle mass), dysphagia (swallowing difficulties),
oropharyngeal phase (moving the food or fluid posteriorly through the oral cavity with the tongue into the
back of the throat), lack of coordination (Uncoordinated movement is due to a muscle control problem that
causes an inability to coordinate movements), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with thinking and
how someone uses language), diffuse traumatic brain injury (tearing of the brain's long connecting nerve.)
Record review of Resident #10's annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS with a score of 3, which
indicated Resident #10 had severely impaired cognition. The MDS also revealed Resident #10 required
total dependance with personal hygiene. Resident #10 required one-person physical assistance with
personal hygiene, including nail hygiene.
During an observation and interview on 04/17/2023 at 9:52 a.m. Resident #10 was observed lying in his
bed. He appeared unkempt and had long dirty fingernails. Fingernails were approximately half an inch long
with black substance underneath. In a direct question interview at the same time, he stated the staff did not
trim his fingernails, but that he would like them trimmed.
During an interview and observation on 04/18/2023 at 9:24 a.m. revealed all of Resident #10's fingernails
were long with dirt underneath. He stated he wanted his fingernails cut. He said he did not remember the
last time he had his nails cut. He stated he did not like that they were long and dirty. He nodded his head up
and down to affirm when he was asked if it was embarrassing to him.
During an interview with the DON on 04/19/2023 at 9:01 a.m. she stated there should be a schedule for
residents fingernails to be cleaned and trimmed. She stated residents' nails should be cleaned and trimmed
on Sundays. She stated that trimming of nails was an infection control issue. She stated that if a resident
had long and dirty nail beds they would be placed at risk for infection or disease. She stated residents
should not have dirty nail beds and should be cleaned by staff if a resident's nail beds were observed to be
dirty.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with limited range of motion
receives appropriate treatment and services to increase range of motion and/or to prevent further decrease
in range of motion for 3 of 6 residents (Resident #4, Resident #19, Resident #33) reviewed for range of
motion and mobility, in that:
Resident #4 who had functional limitation in range of motion (interfered with daily functions or placed
residents at risk for injury) to unilateral upper extremity and bilateral lower extremities was not provided
treatment and services to prevent further decrease in range of motion.
Resident #19 who had functional limitation in range of motion to bilateral upper extremities was not
provided treatment and services to prevent further decrease in range of motion.
Resident #33 who had functional limitation in range of motion to unilateral upper extremity and bilateral was
not provided treatment and services to prevent further decrease in range of motion.
These failures had the potential to affect resident with limited ROM by placing them at risk for a decline in
their functional abilities.
Findings included:

on [DATE] with diagnoses including sacral spina bifida (a gap in the bones in the spine but the spinal cord
and meninges do not push through it), quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs or of the entire body below
the neck), muscle wasting and atrophy (shortening), lack of coordination, contracture (a fixed tightening of
muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin), and cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and
muscle tone or posture).
Record review of Resident #4's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed usually understood and
understood others. The MDS revealed Resident #4 had BIMS of 15 which indicated intact cognition. The
MDS revealed Resident #4 required total dependence for all ADLs except eating which required extensive
assistance. The MDS revealed Resident #4 had functional limitation in range of motion to unilateral upper
extremity and bilateral lower extremities.
Record review of a care plan dated 04/05/23 revealed Resident #4 had cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, and
spina bifida, muscle wasting and atrophy of multiple sites, lack of coordination, contracture of hand and
muscle spasms. Interventions included maintain good body alignment to prevent contractures, OT/PT/ST to
monitor/document and treat as indicated. The care plan did not reveal interventions to prevent further
decrease in range of motion.
Record review of Resident #4's consolidated physician's orders dated 04/18/23 did not reveal limited range
of motion/contracture management orders.
During an observation on 04/17/23 at 12:07 p.m., revealed Resident #4 was lying in his bed on his left side.

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #19's consolidated physician orders dated 04/18/23 did not reveal limited range
of motion/contracture management orders.
During an observation 04/17/23 at 11:39 a.m., revealed Resident #19 was in the dining room sitting in her
wheelchair at a table. Resident #19's left, and right hands were clenched into fists. Resident #19 was

or most of the time, and not ambulatory. The care plan did not reveal Resident #33 had functional limitation
in range of motion (interfered with daily functions or placed residents at risk for injury) to her upper
extremity on one side and lower extremities on both sides.
Record review of Resident #33's consolidated physician orders dated 04/18/23 did not reveal limited range
of motion/contracture management orders.
During an observation on 04/17/23 at 11:39 a.m., revealed Resident #33 was sitting in a Geri chair with a
positioning wedge on her right side. Resident #33 lower half of her body was covered with a blanket, so the
Surveyor was unable to visualize limited range of motion or contractures, and tremors were noted.
During an observation on 04/18/23 at 09:58 a.m., revealed Resident #33 was asleep, sitting in a Geri chair
with her right arm hanging outside of the chair. Resident #33 lower half of her body was covered with a
blanket, so the Surveyor was unable to visualize limited range of motion or contractures, and tremors were
noted.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 11:52 a.m., the DOR said she had been in this position since 03/15/23
but had worked for the facility in another capacity. She said the facility ran an activities of daily living
significant change report and if a resident had a decline, but therapy was not recommended then the ADON
decided which resident received restorative care. The DOR said Resident #4 received OT and ST six
months at a time for maintenance, not so much for improvement. She said according to the therapy notes,
Resident #4's goals were to tolerate passive ROM to the upper extremities, wear a left-hand roll for up to 5
hours, sit up in the Geri chair for 4 hours, and complete bed mobility with moderate assistance. She said
nurses were responsible for doing those tasks, and therapy was responsible for increasing the tolerance
time. The DOR said she did not know if or where staff documented implementing those goals and how long
he tolerated the tasks. The DOR said when she looked in the system, Resident #33 had never been
evaluated or treated by therapy and was not on restorative services. She said Resident #19 had been on
OT from January-February 2023 but did not show much improvement from therapy. She said Resident #19
had been on restorative services but did not know if she currently was. The DOR said Resident #19's OT
discharge summary did not mention hand rolls/splints, but nurses were responsible for placing those on the
resident.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 1:49 p.m., LVN A said Resident #4 did have contractures, but she could
not recall how the facility managed them. She said sometimes the treatment administration record would
have an order for splint devices but Resident #4 did not have an order for splints. LVN A said she had not
put splints in Resident #4 left hand. She said she did not know if CNAs or restorative did passive ROM with
him. She said Resident #33 did have limited ROM but did not recall seeing her receive therapy or
restorative services. LVN A said Resident #19 had carrot splints in her room and after she reviewed the
chart, Resident #19 did not have an order for them. She said she did not know who was on the restorative
or contracture list. LVN A said providing services to residents with limited range of motion or contractures
was important to maintain their quality of living, movement, independence, ADL assistance level, and
circulation. She said it could affect their mentality and quality of life. LVN A said if there was an order for
placement of contracture tools, then it was the nurse's responsibility to do it.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 3:51 p.m., the DON said the facility did not have a process in place to
ensure residents with limited range of motion or contractures received services to prevent further
restriction. She said now the CNAs would be responsible for keeping resident's hands clean

and placement of hand rolls. The DON said before the survey, there were no orders for CNAs to follow and
they were currently putting those orders in the system. She said CNAs probably were not doing those
interventions because they did not know what to do without an order. The DON said even if a resident was
on restorative services, the CNAs were responsible for contracture orders. She said the facility was going to
add a place in the computer system to chart that the contracture orders were getting done by the CNAs.
The DON said management would do follow throughs to make sure the hand cleaning and hand roll
placement was getting done. She said nurses would be primarily responsible overseeing the CNAs. The
DON said it was important to provide contracture management to ensure high function mobility. She said
not managing contractures or limited range of motion increased contractures and decreased mobility.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 4:46 p.m., the Administrator said he had to refer to the nursing
management regarding contractures and limited range of motion.
Record review of the facility's Contracture list dated 04/17/23 revealed the list included Resident #4,
Resident #19, and Resident #33.
Record review of a facility Resident Mobility and Range of Motion policy dated 07/17 revealed .residents
will not experience an avoidable reduction in range of motion .residents with limited range of motion will
receive treatment and service to increase and/or prevent a further decrease in ROM .residents with limited
mobility will receive appropriate services, equipment and assistance to maintain or improve mobility unless
reduction in mobility is unavoidable .the care plan will be developed by the interdisciplinary team based on
the comprehensive assessment, and will be revised as needed .the care plan will include specific

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure, based on the comprehensive assessment of a
resident, residents who had not used psychotropic drugs were not given these drugs unless the medication
was necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record for 1 of 5
residents (Resident #204) reviewed for psychotropic medications.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #204 had an appropriate diagnosis for usage of Olanzapine
(antipsychotic).
This failure could place residents at risk of being over-medicated or experience undesirable side effects.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 04/18/23 revealed Resident #240 was [AGE] year-old female admitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that interferes with daily
life), anxiety (persistent and excessive worry that interferes with daily activities), hallucinations (a false
perception of objects or events involving your senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste).
Record review of Resident #204's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she was understood
and understood others. The MDS revealed Resident #204 had a BIMS of 03 which indicated severely
impaired cognition and required extensive assistance for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, toilet use, and
personal hygiene. The MDS revealed Resident #204 did not have an acute change in mental status from
the resident's baseline. The MDS revealed Resident #204 did not show signs of inattention (distraction),
disorganized thinking (speak very quickly and stumble over your words so that other people may find it
difficult to understand what you're saying) and altered level of consciousness (a state of reduced alertness
or inability to arouse due to low awareness of the environment). The MDS revealed Resident #204 did not
have hallucination or delusions. The MDS revealed Resident #204 did not have physical, verbal, or other
behavioral symptoms. The MDS revealed Resident #204 received an antipsychotic, antianxiety, and
antidepressant in last 7 days.
Record review of Resident #204's care plan dated 03/09/22 revealed the resident had a diagnosis of
hallucinations unspecified and currently took Olanzapine. Interventions reflected to monitor/record/report
new onset signs/symptoms of delirium: changes in behavior, altered mental status, wide variation in
cognitive function throughout day, communication decline, disorientation, lethargy, restlessness, and
agitation. Altered sleep cycle, dehydration, infection, delusion, and hallucination. Provide medications to
alleviate agitation as ordered by MD.
Record review of Resident #204's consolidated physician's order dated 04/18/23 revealed Olanzapine

Record review of a pharmacy recommendation by the consultant pharmacist, dated 10/01/22-10/31/22
revealed Resident #204 was currently receiving Olanzapine tablet 5MG, 1 tablet by mouth at bedtime
related to hallucinations, Unspecified. Diagnosis was needed to support therapy. Please assist. No
follow-through noted after recommendation.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 2:41 p.m., LVN A said she did not know if hallucination was an
appropriate diagnosis for Olanzapine. LVN A said Resident #204 did not hallucinate, that she could recall.
She said a diagnosis needed to match the correct medication. LVN A said if she received a medication with
an incorrect diagnosis, she notified the ADON or MDS coordinator. She said having the correct diagnosis
for use of a medication was important to know why you are giving the medication.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 2:58 p.m., the MDS coordinator said a diagnosis of hallucinations only
was not an appropriate diagnosis for usage of Olanzapine. She said she got diagnoses from hospital
records and other facility paperwork to add to the resident's record. The MDS coordinator said the DON
added the diagnosis of hallucinations on Resident #204 when she admitted on [DATE]. She said the ADON,
and DON reviewed admission orders to ensure appropriate diagnoses with medications. The MDS
coordinator said she only assigned a primary diagnosis on admission and hallucination was not Resident
#204's primary diagnosis.
During an interview on 04/19/23 at 3:51 p.m., the DON said diagnosis of hallucinations only, was not
appropriate to prescribe Olanzapine. She said she added hallucination as an indication for use for
Olanzapine due to it being the only diagnosis on admission paperwork. The DON said she believed
Resident #204 was on Olanzapine prior to admission to the facility. The DON said Resident #204
hallucinated. She said she knew nursing staff were not charting when Resident #204 hallucinated. The
DON said Resident #204 was not on psychiatric services and her primary doctor managed the
antipsychotic. She said she would talk to family and resident about being seen by psych services. The DON
said it was important to have an appropriate diagnosis to make sure they treated the indication of use or
reason for the medication. She said she, the DON, was responsible for overseeing this process.
