Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening
and resident review (PASRR) program to include all residents with newly evident or possible serious mental
disorder for 1 of 7 residents (Resident #28) reviewed for the PASRR program. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #28 was referred for a PASRR (Level II) evaluation when she admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with a possible serious mental disorder. This failure could place residents at risk for a diminished quality of
life and not receiving necessary care and services in accordance with individually assessed needs.The
findings included: Record review of the face sheet, dated 08/13/25, reflected Resident #28 was a [AGE]
year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar
type (chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as
hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression). Record
review of the PASRR Level 1 Screening form, dated 09/30/24, reflected Resident #28 had no evidence or
indicator of a mental illness. No PASRR Level II screening was completed. Record review of the admission
MDS assessment, dated 10/10/24, reflected Resident #28 was not considered by the state level II PASRR
process to have serious mental illness. The MDS reflected Resident #28 had clear speech, was understood
by others, and was able to understand others. Resident #28 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated no
cognitive impairment. Resident #28 had no documented behaviors or refusal of care during the look-back
period. The MDS reflected Resident #28 had an active diagnosis of Schizophrenia, which included
schizoaffective disorder. Record review of the comprehensive care plan, initiated on 10/07/24, reflected
Resident #28 had a mood problem related to a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type and was
taking psychotropic medication. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 5:33 PM, the MDS
Coordinator stated she was responsible for obtaining the PL1 from the referring entity, entering the PL1 into
the system, and coordinating with the local authority when it was needed. The MDS Coordinator stated she
reviewed the PL1 and any diagnoses prior to the residents admitting to the facility. The MDS Coordinator
stated if the PL1 was inaccurate and needed to be changed, she normally called the hospital or referring
entity and asked them to change it, or she would change it in the system, or a form 1012 could have been
completed, as needed. The MDS Coordinator stated some of the diagnoses that she looked for prior to
admission were schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The MDS Coordinator stated the local authority made
the determination of eligibility after a positive PL1 was submitted. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident
#28's PL1 screening should have been positive for mental illness because of her diagnosis of
schizoaffective disorder. The MDS Coordinator stated she was not working full time at the facility during the
time period Resident #28 admitted . The MDS Coordinator stated she was going to enter a new PL1 and
notify the local authority. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 6:08 PM, the Administrator stated
she expected the correct PASRR documentation to have been on file at

the facility. The Administrator stated if the PL1 screening was incorrect, it should have been fixed so the
local authority could have completed the level II PASRR evaluation. The Administrator stated the MDS
coordinator was responsible for coordinating the PASRR services and performed audits on admission. The
Administrator stated it was important to ensure PL1 screening was accurate to ensure residents received
the correct services at the facility. Record review of the admission Criteria policy, revised March 2019,
reflected all new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual
disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid PASRR process. the facility conducts a Level 1
PASRR screen for all potential admission, regardless of payer source to determine if the individual meets
the criteria for a MD, ID, or RD. if the level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a
MD, ID, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASRR representative for the Level II (evaluation and
determination) screening process .

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan to meet each resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs for 2
of 16 residents reviewed for care plans. (Resident #8, Resident #43)1. The facility failed to ensure Resident
#8's care plan had interventions to be used for the use of a self-releasing seat belt, on his motorized
wheelchair. 2. The facility failed to implement the comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident
#43's low air loss mattress on the correct settings for her current weight. These failures could place
residents at risk of not having individual needs met, a decreased quality of life, and cause residents not to
receive needed services.
Findings include:
1. Record review of Resident #8’s face sheet dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #8 was a [AGE]
year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8 had diagnoses
including cerebral palsy (is a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), paraplegia (is
paralysis that affects your legs, but not your arms), abnormal posture, and contractures (is a type of
scarring in your soft tissues that causes them to tighten and stiffen).
Record review of Resident #8’s consolidated physician order dated 8/12/25 indicated may use
motorized wheelchair for mobility when out of bed. If motorized wheelchair is unable to be used, may use
Geri-chair for mobility related to contractures and poor trunk control. Ordered date 5/6/25.
Record review of Resident #8’s quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #8 was
usually understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #8 had unclear speech, adequate
hearing, and impaired vision with corrective lenses. Resident #8 had a BIMS score of 99 which indicated
the resident was unable to complete the interview. Resident #8 had short term memory call problem and
moderately impaired cognitive skill for daily decision making. Resident #8 had functional limitation in range
of motion to the upper and lower extremities, on both sides of his body. Resident #8 used a wheelchair for
mobility. Resident #8 was dependent for ADLs. Resident #8 was not coded for a physical restraint.
Record review of Resident #8’s care plan sated 4/24/25 indicated Resident #8 was at risk for falls
related to decreased safety awareness, paraplegia, psychoactive drug use, vision/hearing problems,
incontinence, cerebral palsy, chronic flexion contractures (is a long-term inability to fully extend a joint,
meaning the joint is stuck in a bent position) to upper/lower extremities, muscle spasms, pain and spina
bifida (is a condition that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly). Resident #8 has
self-releasing seat belt because Resident stated, he “feels safer with it on.” Resident #8 was
able to release upon request. Resident #8’s care plan did not reflect interventions or services that
would attain or maintain the resident’s physical well-being for the use of a self-releasing seat belt.
During an observation on 8/12/25 at 9:40 a.m., LVN C and CNA F placed Resident #8 in a motorized
wheelchair. CNA F buckled Resident #8’s seat belt. CNA F asked Resident #8 to release the seat
belt. After CNA F and LVN C asked Resident #8 two more times and CNA F showed him the release
button, he successfully pushed the button.

During an interview on 8/13/25 at 12:45 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for the initial
care plans and care plans after the MDS assessments. She said the DON and ADON were responsible for
acute care plans. She said the interventions were important for the monitoring and assessment of the care
plan problem. She said the IDT met to discuss the resident’s care plan on admission and quarterly.
She said the DON and Regional/Corporate MDS Coordinator were responsible for overseeing the MDS
Coordinator.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:42 p.m., LVN D said the ADON and DON was responsible for the
residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s use of the seat belt on his wheelchair should
be care planned. She said the interventions were important to assess the safety of the seat belt. She said
the staff should make sure Resident #8 was able to release the seat belt and the seat belt was working
properly. She said if Resident #8 use of the seat belt was not assessed, it placed the resident at risk for
falls. She said Resident #8 could hurt himself.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:03 p.m., LVN C said the DON or a RN was responsible for the
residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s use of the seat belt on his wheelchair should
be care planned with interventions. She said the staff should make sure Resident #8 was able to release
the seat belt and the seat belt was functioning correctly. She said the care plan was important to let the staff
know what interventions were in place, what had been tried, and what to expect from the facility. She said
Resident #8’s seat belt not being care planned with intervention was a safety issue.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said the IDT was responsible for the
residents’ care plans. She said Resident #8’s wheelchair seat belt needed interventions for
monitoring and assessment. She said the interventions were important to know what to monitor to prevent
injury. She said the facility did not consider Resident #8’s seat belt as a restraint because he could
release it. She said the facility should have still developed a care plan with interventions to ensure it did not
become a restraint. She said when the care plan problem did not have interventions, the residents’
needs could not be met. She said the IDT monitored each other to ensure the residents’ care plans
were complete.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 5:02 p.m., the ADM said the DON was responsible for developing care
plan interventions for Resident #8’s wheelchair seat belt. She said the care plan interventions were
important to ensure Resident #8’s seat belt was not a restraint. She said when the resident’s
care plan problem did not have interventions, the resident’s needs could not be met. She said the
IDT oversaw the care planning process. She said the IDT reviewed the residents’ care plans during
the daily “stand up” meetings.
2. Record review of Resident #43’s admission Record indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included contracture of right knee (a condition
characterized by the inability to fully extend the knee joint), dementia (a general term for a decline in
cognitive function that affects memory, thinking, and social abilities, significantly interfering with daily life),
essential hypertension (a form of high blood pressure that occurs when the pressure in your blood vessels
is consistently too high), severe protein-calorie malnutrition (serious health condition stemming from an
insufficient intake or absorption of protein) and major depression disorder (a mood disorder that cause
persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest).
Record review of Resident #43's Annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed that the resident did not have a BIMS
score indicating Resident #43 was rarely or never understood. The MDS also revealed, Resident

#43 was dependent with all ADL’s such as eating, toileting, bathing, dressing upper and lower body,
and transfers. The MDS revealed Resident #43 weighed 104 lbs.
Record review of Resident #43's Care Plan revised on 7/22/2025, revealed Resident had Deep tissue injury
to Right Distal Lateral foot with interventions for a low air loss mattress for pressure relief.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #43’s weight and vital sign summary dated 8/13/2025 revealed on
5/22/2023 Resident weighed 104.2 lbs.
During observation on 8/12/2025 at 1:57 PM, observed Resident #43 lying in bed on her left side with
covers pulled up. Resident #43 was nonverbal and unable to communicate.
During an observation and interview on 8/12/2025 at 2:33 PM, Resident #43 was lying in bed and wearing
pressure relieving boots to bilateral lower extremities. The ADON said Resident #43 was on Hospice care.
The ADON said Resident #43 was contracted on her lower extremities and wore the pressure relieving
boots to her bilateral lower extremities. The ADON said Resident #43 was followed by a wound care
specialist. The ADON said Resident #43 rubs her legs in her bed which she felt contributed to her DTI
(deep tissue injury) (a serious condition that affect the underlying layers of skin and soft tissue, often
resulting from sustained pressure or shear forces). The ADON said the DTI (deep tissue injury) was closed
and she was not required to be on EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions) (Infectious control measures
designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms in healthcare settings). The ADON
said Resident #43 was unable to position herself and required a Hoyer lift and a Geri-chair (geriatric chair).
The ADON said Resident #43 had wounds on her bottom but had healed and the facility left Resident #43
on the low air loss mattress for prevention. The ADON looked at the settings and said it was set on 210.
She said the Geri-chair must have bumped the setting and said the setting was not correct. The ADON said
more pressure could cause a skin injury. The ADON said she was going to check on Resident #43’s
weight and adjust the setting after checking the orders and update the orders if there was not one.
During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 12:39 PM, LVN K said Resident #43 had an air loss mattress. She said
Resident #43 was to be repositioned every 2 hours and had these wounds in the past stating that the
wounds had healed and reopened. LVN K said Resident #43 was terminal and the wounds were
unavoidable. LVN said Resident #43 did not have any current wounds to her bottom. LVN K said the staff
gets her up in the Geri-chair. LVN K said normally the staff does not touch the settings on the low air loss
mattress and said she did not know if the settings were supposed to be on an order. LVN K reviewed
Resident #43’s order and said there was not an order. She said the low air loss mattress settings
were based on the weight of the resident. She said the low air loss mattress would circulate to ensure the
pressure was not in one spot. LVN K said it could cause pressure sores and skin breakdown if not on the
correct settings.
During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 1:39 PM, the Wound Care Physician said he started seeing Resident
#43 a couple of weeks ago. He said she was currently wearing her pressure relieving boots. He said
Resident #43 likes to turn on her right side and he said the deep tissue injury was unavoidable due to her
contractures. He felt with her wearing the boots, she would be ok. The Wound Care Physician said
sometimes people turn up the settings on the low air loss mattress while positioning a resident. He said
more air could cause more pressure. He said Resident #43’s wound was scabbed over and not
ready to come off yet. He said Resident #43’s wound showed no signs of infection.

During an interview on 813/2025 at 4:13 PM, the Administrator said she expected the nurses to check the
settings on the low air loss mattress to ensure it was on the proper settings. The Administrator said she
thought there should be specific settings on the care plan and orders. The Administrator said a resident
could develop pressure ulcers if the low air loss mattress was not on the proper setting. The Administrator
said the ADON and DON were responsible for ensuring the orders were on the care plan and the settings
were correct.
During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 4:36 PM, the DON said she expected the nurses and aides to assess
Resident #43 low air loss mattress and for it to be on the proper settings. The DON said she was working
on order to make sure they were specific. The DON said the aides could place the settings on static while
they are positioning a resident but would need to be placed back on the correct setting. The DON said there
was a potential for skin breakdown or if a resident had a current skin issue, it could make a wound worse.
The DON said it could be a comfort issue as well. The DON said she had started an in-service with staff
and was adding a task for the aides to check as well.
Record review of a facility policy revised on December of 2016 titled Care Plans, Comprehensive
Person-Centered revealed, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable
objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical psychosocial and functional needs is developed

of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment…describe the services that are
to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident’s highest practicable physical, mental, and

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident's person-centered comprehensive
care plan was reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each assessment for 1 of 16
residents (Resident #6), reviewed for care plans. The facility failed to revise and update Resident #6's care
plan after she was coded on the annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] for use of a diuretic and an
antiplatelet. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate
interventions to meet their current needs.Findings included: Record review of Resident #6's face sheet
dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #6 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #6 had diagnoses including hemiplegia (is paralysis that affects only one
side of your body) and hemiparesis (is one-sided muscle weakness) following cerebral infarction (is the
death of brain tissue due to a blockage of blood flow), other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis
of small artery (a blockage or narrowing of a small blood vessel, which can restrict blood flow and
potentially lead to tissue damage) and hypertension (is when the force of blood pushing against your artery
walls is consistently too high). Record review of Resident #6's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE]
indicated Resident #6 was usually understood and usually had the ability to understand others. Resident #6
had a BIMS score of 14 which indicated intact cognition. Resident #6 had received a diuretic (are
medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body) and an antiplatelet (are medications that prevent
platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots) during the last 7 days. Record review of Resident
#6's care plan dated 8/6/24 indicated Resident #6 had hemiplegia and hemiparesis related to previous
cerebral infarction. Intervention included give medications as ordered and monitor/document for side effects
and effectiveness. Resident #6's care plan did not reflect use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet. Record
review of Resident #6's consolidated physician orders dated 8/12/25 indicated:*Aspirin 81mg Oral tablet
Delayed Release, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction, other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery. Ordered date
3/7/25. *Spironolactone Oral Tablet 25mg, give 25mg by mouth one time a day for edema. Ordered date
2/24/25. Record review of Resident #6's MAR dated 8/1/25-8/31/25 indicated:*Aspirin 81mg Oral tablet
Delayed Release, give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction, other cerebral infarction due to occlusion or stenosis of small artery. Resident #6
received 12 out of 12 scheduled doses. *Spironolactone Oral Tablet 25mg, give 25mg by mouth one time a
day for edema. Resident #6 received 12 out of 12 scheduled doses. During an interview on 8/13/25 at
12:45 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said the resident's care plans were revised with the MDS assessments
and changes of condition. She said each department of the IDT were responsible for updating the care
plan, after the MDS assessment. She said the resident's care plans were reviewed and updated quarterly.
She said Resident #6's use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet should have been care planned. She said she
normally only care planned the major antiplatelets on the resident's care plans. She said the resident's
medications should be care planned to know which type of medications the resident was on and what to
monitor for. She said when a resident's medications were not care planned, the comorbidities it was treating
may not be monitored or assessed. She said the DON and Regional/Corporate MDS Coordinator were
responsible for overseeing her. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A said the MDS
Coordinator with the assistance of the DON were responsible for revising and updating care plans after the
MDS assessment. She said she would expect Resident #6's use of a diuretic and an antiplatelet to be on
her care plan. She said it

was important for Resident #6's diuretic use to be on the care plan to know what to monitor for fluid control.
She said the antiplatelet needed to be care planned to assess and monitor for the side effects. She said if
the resident had a fall and would not stop bleeding, the facility needed to know why. She said if the
resident's medications were not care planned, it placed the resident at risk for not being assessed or
monitored and affected the level of care and needs provided. She said the IDT should review the resident's
care plan to ensure it was revised by the MDS Coordinator. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:42 p.m.,
LVN D said the DON, ADON and SS were responsible for updating the resident's care plan. She said it was
important to care plan the resident's medications to know the history, diagnosis, and care needs. She said
when medications were not care planned, the resident could not get the care they needed. She said the
staff could think the resident was urinating too much and had an UTI (is when bacteria gets into your
urinary tract- kidneys, bladder, or urethra) but it was from the diuretics. She said a resident on an

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who was unable to carry
out activities of daily living receives the necessary services to maintain good nutrition for 1 of 5 residents
(Resident #50) reviewed for ADLs. The facility did not ensure Resident #50 received set-up assistance
during the lunch meal on 08/11/25. This failure could place residents at risk of decreased quality of life,
weight loss, and injury related to choking.The findings included: Record review of the face sheet, dated
08/13/25, reflected Resident #50 was a [AGE] year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, affecting the right dominant side
(right-sided weakness/paralysis from a stroke), history of a stroke, and the need for assistance with
personal care. Record review of the admission MDS assessment, dated 06/26/25, reflected Resident #50
had clear speech, was understood by others, and was able to understand others. Resident #50 had a BIMS
score of 6, which reflected severely impaired cognition. Resident #50 had no behaviors or refusal of care
during the look-back period. The MDS assessment reflected Resident #50 usually required
partial/moderate assistance with eating, which indicated the helper did less than half the effort. Record
review of the comprehensive care plan, initiated on 06/26/25, reflected Resident #50 had an ADL self-care
performance deficit and required partial/moderate assistance as needed with eating. Record review of the
ADL flow sheet for eating, dated from 07/31/25 to 08/12/25, reflected Resident #50 required setup or
clean-up assistance with eating on 08/01/25, 08/02/25, 08/03/25, 08/06/25, 08/11/25, and 08/12/25. During
an observation on 08/11/25 at 12:04 PM, Resident #50 was served her lunch meal tray. Resident #50 was
asked if she wanted her plate on or off the serving tray. The tray was placed down in front of her, and the
cover was removed. The plastic was taken off the drinks, her utensils were unfolded from her napkin, and
then the staff left her with her tray. Resident #50's dinner roll was left in the plastic bag. During an
observation on 08/11/25 at 12:07 PM, Resident #50 was eating the plastic bag that her dinner roll was in.
Resident #50 would take a bite of the plastic and then spit it out. Resident #50 was unable to remove the
dinner roll herself. During an observation on 08/11/25 at 12:18 PM, Resident #50 continued to take bites of
the plastic bag and then spit it out on her tray. Surveyor notified CNA G in the dining room. CNA G
immediately removed the plastic from her dinner roll. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 3:26
PM, CNA G stated Resident #50 normally required setup help with eating but would not allow staff to assist
her with eating. CNA G stated setup help included taking everything off the serving tray and sitting it on the
table, taking the plastic off of the food, unwrapping and placing straws in the cups, and putting condiments
on the food as needed or requested. CNA G stated Resident #50's dinner roll should have been removed
from the plastic bag when she was served. CNA G was unsure why Resident #50's dinner roll was not
removed from the bag, but it was usually taken out. CNA G stated she believed Resident #50 had not
attempted to eat the plastic around her dinner roll before that incident. CNA G stated it was important to
ensure Resident #50 received setup assistance during mealtimes to ensure she did not choke on the
plastic. During an interview on 08/13/25 beginning at 3:39 PM, LVN C stated Resident #50 required setup
assistance during meals because of a previous stoke that caused right-sided weakness. LVN C stated
setup assistance included asking if they wanted their food on or off the serving tray, cutting up any
vegetables or meat, taking the plastic wrapper off of all the food, and then asking if they wanted salt/pepper
or sweetener. LVN C stated the plastic should have been removed from Resident #50's dinner roll on
08/11/25. LVN C stated she was the nurse in the dining room on 08/11/25 but was unable to remember who
served Resident #50. LVN C stated she was unaware

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents who needed respiratory
care were provided with such care, consistent with professional standards of practices for 1 of 5 residents
(Resident #31) reviewed for respiratory care. The facility failed to ensure Resident # 31's internal filter (the
air passes through a series of filters that remove impurities, ensuring that the oxygen delivered to the
patient is of high quality) in the oxygen concentrator (take air from your surroundings, extract oxygen and
filter it into purified oxygen for you to breathe) was free of white/yellow, fuzzy particles. This failure could
place residents at risk for respiratory infections.Findings included: Record review of Resident #31's face
sheet dated 8/13/25 indicated Resident #31 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #31 had diagnoses including heart failure (is a condition where the
heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for oxygen and nutrients), chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (is a lung condition that obstructs airflow, making it difficult to breathe) and dependency
on supplemental oxygen. Record review of Resident #31's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE]
indicated Resident #31 was understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #31 had a BIMS
score of 12 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #31 received oxygen therapy. Record
review of Resident #31's care plan dated 6/28/25 indicated Resident #31 had oxygen therapy. Intervention
included oxygen settings: oxygen via nasal cannula at 2-3 liters per minute. Record review of Resident
#31's consolidated physician order dated 8/13/25 indicated change respiratory tubing, mask, bottled water,
and clean filter every 7 days, every night shift, every Sunday. Ordered date 12/27/24. Record review of
Resident #31's nurse administration record dated 8/1/25-8/31/25 indicated:*Oxygen at 3 liters per minute
via nasal cannula during daytime, with ambulation and while resting and 2.5 liters per minute via nasal
cannula at hour of sleep every shift for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. *Change respiratory
tubing, mask, bottled water, and clean filter every 7 days, every night shift, every Sunday. During an
observation on 8/11/25 at 11:23 a.m., Resident #31 was sitting in her recliner with a nasal cannula
connected to an oxygen concentrator. Resident #31's internal filter vent had a moderate amount of
white/yellow, fuzzy particles. During an observation on 8/12/25 at 7:40 a.m., Resident #31 was sitting in her
recliner with a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen concentrator. Resident #31's internal filter vent had a
moderate amount of white/yellow, fuzzy particles. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A
said the oxygen company was responsible for the internal filters on the oxygen concentrators. She said the
DON and ADON were responsible for notifying the oxygen company. She said the nurses changed the
resident's oxygen equipment and cleaned the filters on Sundays. She said having an oxygen concentrator
filter with dust was not good because the resident would be breathing it in. She said it could cause
respiratory issues. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:42 p.m., LVN D said the nurses should notify the
DON if they were unable to clean the resident's oxygen concentrator filter. She said the nurses were
responsible for the oxygen filter when everything was changed on Sunday nights. She said a dirty oxygen
filter affected the air quality. She said a dirty filter placed the resident at risk for a respiratory infection and
breathing problems. She said if a resident developed a respiratory infection or experienced breathing
problems, they could need antibiotics or hospitalization. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the
DON said the nurses were responsible for notifying the maintenance worker and DON when the internal
oxygen filter needed to be cleaned. She said it was important to receive clean and the right amount of
oxygen. She said if the internal oxygen filter was clogged with dust particles, it placed the resident at risk for
not getting the right amount of

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents who are trauma
survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of
practice and accounting for residents' experiences and preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers
that may cause re-traumatization of the resident for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #6) reviewed for
trauma-informed care. The facility failed to ensure Resident #6 had a care plan to address past trauma with
a PTSD diagnosis. Resident #6 completed a brief trauma assessment on [DATE] which indicated a positive
trauma screen. This failure could place residents at an increased risk for psychological distress due to
re-traumatization.Findings included: Record review of Resident #6's face sheet dated [DATE] indicated
Resident #6 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Resident #6 had diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder (is a mental health condition that can
develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event), generalized anxiety disorder (persistent and
excessive worry about various everyday events and activities), major depressive disorder (is a serious
mental health condition characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and difficulty
functioning in daily life), and intermittent explosive disorder (is a behavioral disorder characterized by
episodes of impulsive aggression that are disproportionate to the situation). Record review of Resident #6's
annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #6 was usually understood and usually had the
ability to understand others. Resident #6 had a BIMS score of 14 which indicated intact cognition. Resident
#6 did not have experience psychosis or behavioral symptoms. Resident #6 had an active diagnosis of
PTSD. Record review of Resident #6's care plan dated [DATE] indicated Resident #6 had ADL self-care
performance deficit related to hemiplegia following cerebral infarction affecting the right side and PTSD.
Intervention included praise all efforts at self-care. Resident #6's care plan did not reflect triggers,
interventions, and goals related to her PTSD diagnosis. Record review of Resident #6's Brief Trauma
Questionnaire dated [DATE] indicated Resident #6 had experienced being made or pressured into some
type of unwanted sexual contact and she thought her life was in danger or might be seriously injured.
Resident #6 also experienced a close family member or friend who died violently. The Brief Trauma
Questionnaire indicated that none of the above questions were answered with a yes. The Brief Trauma
Questionnaire did not reflect the date and time an IDT meeting was scheduled regarding interventions and
plan of care. Record review of Resident #6's progress note dated [DATE] by the MDS Coordinator
indicated, .spoke with resident [Resident #6] about her brief trauma questionnaire and her answers on that
form.Resident [#6] stated that her triggers are.1. Too many people talking to her at once.2. No male
CNAs.Resident [#6] did state that all that was a long time ago and she has not had any triggers since
moving into the facility. During an interview and observation on [DATE] at 10:29 a.m., Resident #6 was
heading out of her room. LVN C said Resident #6 was headed out to smoke. Resident #6 looked at the
surveyor and appeared anxious. Resident #6 walked to the smoking area, unable to complete interview.
LVN C said Resident #6 was an anxious person. During an interview and observation on [DATE] at 11:42
a.m., Resident #6 was heading out of her room. CNA F told Resident #6 the surveyor wanted to talk to her.
Resident #6 shook her head and said, no! Unable to complete interview. During an interview on [DATE] at
12:43 p.m., the SS said she had started in [DATE]. She said she did not complete Resident #6's Brief
Trauma Questionnaire. She said the MDS Coordinator would be responsible for care planning Resident
#6's PTSD diagnosis. During an interview on [DATE] at 12:45 p.m., the MDS Coordinator said she was
responsible for the resident's initial care plans. She said the ADON and DON completed the acute care

said the SS, AD, and DM completed their portion of the care plan. She said SS completed the Brief Trauma
Questionnaire. She said if the resident triggered for experiencing trauma, then the SS notified the DON.
She said the SS would initiate the PTSD care plan in the beginning and everyone else would add to it. She
said the PTSD care plan was important to know Resident #6's triggers. She said due to Resident #6 not
having a PTSD care plan, the staff would not know her triggers and may have caused some triggers. She
said on admission, the IDT met to discuss each resident. She said the IDT also met quarterly to discuss the
resident's care plans. She said she did not remember Resident #6 mentioning any triggers during the care
plan meetings. During an interview and observation on [DATE] at 1:17 p.m., Resident #6 was lying in her
bed. Resident #6 said she was sleeping. Unable to complete interview regarding the PTSD diagnosis.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A said the DON was responsible care plans for
acute changes of care. She said she was responsible for infection control and wound care plans. She said
she would expect Resident #6's PTSD diagnosis to be care planned. She said if Resident #6 was admitted
with the PTSD diagnosis, the MDS Coordinator would be responsible for the care plan. She said if Resident
#6 developed the diagnosis after admission, then it would be an acute change of care. She said then the
IDT would be responsible for Resident #6's PTSD care plan. She said the PTSD care plan for Resident #6
was important because it was a broad knowledge of the resident's issue. She said the staff would also
know to factor in the PTSD diagnosis into Resident #6's care and treatment. She said not having Resident
#6's PTSD diagnosis care planned placed her at risk for the staff accidently doing triggers and experiencing
acute events. She said the IDT was responsible for overseeing the care planning process. She said the
process was monitored by audit reviews and the care plan meetings. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:24
p.m., CNA E said she knew Resident #6's triggers. She said Resident #6's triggers were telling her, No,
going into her room, and not having cigarettes. She said she would want to know Resident #6's triggers
related to her PTSD diagnosis. She said the CNAs had access to the resident's care plan in the facility's
charting system. She said the resident's care plan interventions told the staff how to take care of the
resident. She said when the resident's PTSD diagnosis was not care planned, the staff could trigger the
resident. She said if Resident #6 got a male CNA, she would cuss him out. She said it would also upset her.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:42 p.m., LVN D said the MDS Coordinator, DON, ADON, and SS were
responsible for the trauma informed care plans. She said she would want Resident #6's PTSD diagnosis
care planned. She said she would want to know Resident #6's triggers related to the PTSD diagnosis. She
said the trauma care plan was important so everyone knew what was needed to care for Resident #6. She
said if Resident #6 experienced her triggers, she could cry, become aggressive, or be retraumatized. During
an interview on [DATE] at 3:04 p.m., the DON said all the staff were responsible for providing the resident
with trauma informed care. She said Resident #6 should have been assessed for her triggers related to her
PTSD diagnosis. She said one of the interventions would be to make sure Resident #6 only had female
caregivers. She said it was important to care plan Resident #6's PTSD diagnosis to avoid triggers. She said
she interviewed Resident #6 before admission to the facility. She said Resident #6 told her she did not want
male CNAs. She said when a resident's PTSD diagnosis was not care planned, the facility staff could cause
triggers. She said the resident could experience emotional distress. During an interview on [DATE] at 5:02
p.m., the ADM said she would expect a resident who experienced trauma or had a PTSD diagnosis to have
a trauma informed care plan. She said the SS was responsible for completing the trauma assessment. She
said the current SS was not employed at the facility when Resident #6's trauma assessment was
completed. She said the previous SS should have notified the MDS Coordinator and DON of Resident #6's
trauma assessment results.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services including
procedures that assure the accurate administering of all drugs and biologicals, to meet the needs of 2 of 16
residents (Resident #31 and Resident #26) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #31's Claritin (Loratadine) order had a dosage for administration. The facility failed to ensure RN B
documented the medication order change for Resident #26's Folic Acid 400 MCG to 1000MCG on 8/12/25,
which resulted in RN B documenting administration of the wrong medication dosage on the MAR. These
failures could place residents at risk for inaccurate drug administration.Findings included: 1. Record review
of Resident #31's face sheet dated 8/13/25 indicated Resident #31 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted
to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #31 had diagnoses including chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (is a lung condition that obstructs airflow, making it difficult to breathe) and
dyspnea (shortness of breath). Record review of Resident #31's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE]
indicated Resident #31 was understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #31 had a BIMS
score of 12 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #31's care plan

5/27/25. Resident #31's physician order did not reflect a MG dose of Claritin to administer. Record review of
Resident #31's MAR dated 8/1/25-8/31/25 indicated Claritin Oral Tablet (Loratadine; is an antihistamine that
prevents and treats allergy symptoms), give 1 tablet by mouth, one time a day for allergies. Resident #31
received 12 out of 13 scheduled doses. 2. Record review of Resident #26's face sheet dated 8/13/25
indicated Resident #26 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #26 had
diagnoses including nutritional anemia (is a condition where a lack of essential nutrients in the diet leads to
a decrease in red blood cell production or function, causing a deficiency in oxygen delivery to the body) and
vitamin deficiency (occurs when the body doesn't receive enough of a vital vitamin). Record review of
Resident #26's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #26 was understood and had
the ability to understand others. Resident #26 had a BIMS score of 15 which indicated intact cognition.

medication name, route, dose, and frequency. She said a medication should not be given without a
complete order. She said the wrong dose could be given. She said the resident could be under and over
dosed. She said everybody who looked at Resident #31's Claritin order was responsible for getting the
dose to administer. She said before administering a medication, the nurses should follow the 6 rights of
medication administration. She said the DON, ADON, and Pharmacy consultant were responsible for
ensuring the nurses inputted complete physician's orders. She said they monitored this process by doing
chart audits. She said RN B should have administered Resident #26's current medication order until the
new physician order had been placed in the charting system. She said RN B's documentation of Resident
#26 MAR was inaccurate. She said RN B should have documented the dose she administered. She said
the resident needed an accurate record of administration. She said when the documentation was
inaccurate, the MD would not be able to accurately assess the resident's needs. She said the ADON and
DON were responsible for ensuring the nurse had accurate documentation. She said they monitored this
process by daily chart audits and reviewing the 24-hour report for new orders. During an interview on
8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said she expected Resident #31's Claritin order to have a dose. She said a
dose on the physician order ensured the resident received the accurate amount of medication for the issue.
She said the nurse who received Resident #31's order for Claritin was responsible for ensuring it included a
dose amount. She said Resident #31 would not have too many negative effects from receiving Claritin
without a dose since it was an allergy medication. She said Resident #31 could have experienced negative
effects from receive other type of medications without a dose amount. She said she was responsible for
ensuring the nurses received and placed accurate physician orders in the resident's chart. She said she did
this process by reviewing orders during morning stand up meetings. She said she expected RN B to
discontinue Resident #26's 400 MCG order and place the new order for the 1000 MCG in the system. She
said RN B should then have documented on the 1000 MCG Folic Acid order. She said documenting on the
400 MCG order but giving 1000 MCG was not accurate documentation and could be considered a
medication error. She said an accurate medication administration record was important so everyone knew
what the resident was taking. She said it was important to know which dose was taken to monitor for any
adverse reactions and which dose was received for the resident's medical record. She said the ADON and
DON were responsible for ensuring the nurse had accurate documentation. On 8/13/25 at 4:53 p.m.,
attempted to contact the CP P by phone. I was unable to leave a message because the mailbox was full.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 5:02 p.m., the ADM said she expected the nursing staff to document the
medication they administered. She said it was important to have accurate documentation so if any adverse
reaction occurred, they would know where to start. She said it would be detrimental to the resident if they
received too much or not enough of a medication. She said the nurse who received the physician order
should have ensured the MG dose was specified. She said also any nurse that noticed the medication did
not have a MG dose specified, should have notified someone for clarification. She said Claritin only came in
a certain MG dose, but some medications came in different MG doses. She said it was important to know
the exact amount the physician wanted administered. She said the ADON and DON should ensure the
nurses were documenting accurately and receiving complete orders. She said they should be monitoring
this process by doing chart/order audits. During an interview on 8/15/25 at 1:10 p.m., RN B said the DON
preferred to do the initial or admission physician orders. She said the floor nurse could also put in physician
orders. She said the physician orders should have the MG dose to make sure the right dose was
administered. She said the 5 rights of drug administration should be followed. She said Resident #31's
Claritin order should have the MG dose because the facility may not be given what the physician wanted

only had questioned related to an investigation about his missing money. During an interview on 8/13/25 at
2:00 p.m., the ADON A said she had been back at the facility full time for a week. She said the MRR form
was sent to the physician or the information was relayed by text. She said the DON was responsible for
ensuring the MD responded to the MRR appropriately. She said but whoever received the MRRs that month
would be responsible for them. She said the DON and ADON should have made sure MD O addressed
both parts of the request to extend Resident #35's Lorazepam prn order. She said the prn medication
needed to be 14 days or rationale provided with a specific date to prevent adverse reactions and over
medication. She said the DON and ADON oversaw the MRR process. She said the CP P also reviewed the
MRR responses from the physicians. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said she was
responsible for the resident's MRRs. She said she felt like end of life was the specified duration for Resident
#35's MRR form. She said the 14 days and specified duration was to monitor for the continued need or use
of the prn medication. She said the CP P reviewed the MRRs forms the next month for compliance. She

Resident #35's MRR how he felt like the appropriate response was. She said what could the facility really
do. She said the stop date on prn medications were important so it did not get overlooked. She said the prn
medication needed to be reviewed in case it needed to be changed. She said the DON was responsible
and oversaw the MRR process. Record review of a facility's Medication Regimen Reviews policy revised
5/2019 indicated, .the MRR involves a thorough review of the resident's medical record to prevent, identify,
report and re- solve medication related problems, medication errors and other irregularities.an irregularity
refers to the use of medication that is inconsistent with accepted pharmaceutical services standards of
practice; is not supported by medical evidence; and/or impedes or interferes with achieving the intended
outcomes of pharmaceutical services. it may also include the use of medication without indication, without
adequate monitoring, in excessive doses, and or in the presence of adverse consequences.if the Physician

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 maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe and sanitary environment and to help prevent the development and
transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 (Resident #8) of 16 residents reviewed for
infection control. The facility failed to ensure LVN C did not place Resident #8 feeding tubing, in his bed
during g-tube medication administration on 8/12/25. This failure could place a resident at risk for an
infection. Findings included:Record review of Resident #8's face sheet dated 8/12/25 indicated Resident #8
was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #8 had
diagnoses including cerebral palsy (is a group of conditions that affect movement and posture), paraplegia
(is paralysis that affects your legs, but not your arms), abnormal posture, contractures (is a type of scarring
in your soft tissues that causes them to tighten and stiffen), and artificial openings of gastrointestinal tract
status. Record review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #8 was
usually understood and had the ability to understand others. Resident #8 had unclear speech, adequate
hearing, and impaired vision with corrective lenses. Resident #8 had a BIMS score of 99 which indicate the
resident was unable to complete the interview. Resident #8 had short term memory call problem and
moderately impaired cognitive skill for daily decision making. Resident #8 was dependent for ADLs.
Resident #8 had a feeding tube while a resident and received 51% or more of total calories from tube
feeding. Record review of Resident #8's care plan dated 5/9/24 indicated Resident #8 required an alternate
method of nourishment due to nothing by mouth status and required use of feeding tube. Intervention
included g-tube site (is a feeding tube inserted through the abdomen into the stomach) assessed every
shift and notify MD of signs and symptoms of infection. During an observation on 8/12/25 at 9:00 a.m., LVN
C disconnected Resident #8 feeding tubing from the g-tube site. LVN C placed the feeding tubing directly
on the bed, towards the foot of the bed. LVN C checked Resident #8's residual and g-tube placement. LVN
C reattached the feeding tubing to the g-tube. LVN C prepped her medication for administration. LVN C
disconnected Resident #8's feeding tubing from the g-tube site. LVN C placed the tubing on the bed, near
his chest and arm area. The tip of the feeding tubing was visualized touching the bed sheets. After
medication administration, LVN C reconnected the feeding tubing to Resident #8's g-tube site and restarted
the enteral feedings. During an interview on 8/12/25 at 2:06 p.m., the DON said the nursing staff should
store the feeding tubing, when it was disconnected from the resident, where it could be kept clean. She said
the tubing should not be placed on the bed or hanging in the wind. She said the nursing staff could use the
cap that came with the feeding syringe to cover it. She said the facility's policy and procedure did not
specify, not to lay it on the bed. She said it was best practice to store the tubing in a clean environment. She
said if Resident #8's tubing was placed in the bed and reattached to the resident, it needed to be discarded.
During an interview on 8/13/25 at 2:00 p.m., the ADON A said the resident's feeding tubing needed to be
recapped when it was not in use. She said Resident #8's feeding tubing should not have been placed in his
bed. She said the feeding tubing should not have been laid in the bed to prevent infection to the g-tube site.
She said if the resident developed an infection, they could require antibiotics, hospitalization, and additional
care. She said the ADON and DON were responsible for ensuring the nurses used infection control
precautions during medication administration. She said they monitored this process by doing checkoff with
the nursing staff. She said checkoffs were done upon hire, annual, and after an event where reeducation
was needed. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:03 p.m., LVN C said she should have placed Resident
#8's feeding tubing in a clean

said she should not have placed it on the bed because it was an infection control issue. She said the g-tube
that the feeding tube went into, was in the body. She said she did not want to put an infection in the body
through the g-tube. She said if the resident developed an infection, they could experience a fever, an
increase in white blood cells, and lower their immune system. She said the resident could require antibiotic,
probiotics, and hospitalization. She said she had been checked off on g-tube medication administration and
infection control. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 3:04 p.m., the DON said a resident's feeding tubing
should be stored in a clean environment when disconnected, like previously stated. She said the nurses
were responsible for ensuring infection control measures were done during medication administration. She
said those measures needed to be followed to decrease the potential for causing an infection. She said if
the resident developed an infection, they could require antibiotics. She said the facility ensured the nursing
staff were competent in g-tube medication administration by doing check offs and in-services. She said
these were done annually and after incidents with periodical follow ups. During an interview on 8/13/25 at
5:02 p.m., the ADM said she would expect the nursing staff to place a cap on the end or hanging the
resident's feeding tubing when not in use. She said doing those things would prevent the potential for an
infection. She said if a resident developed an infection, they could need antibiotics or some type of
treatment. She said the nursing management ensured the nursing staff were competent by doing annual
check offs. Record review of LVN C's Medication Pass Competency dated 2/24/25 indicated LVN C was
satisfactory on infection control and enteral tube medication administration. LVN C was checked off by the
DON. Record review of a facility's Administering Medication through an Enteral Tube policy revised

medications through an enteral tube. remove the syringe and clamp tubing.place the end of the tubing on a
clean gauze pad positioned on the abdomen or chest of the resident. Record review of the facility's Infection
Prevention and Control Program Policy, dated 10/2018, indicated, .an infection prevention and control
program (IPCP) is established and maintained to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and
to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. The infection
prevention and control program developed to address the facility-specific infection control needs and
requirements identified in the facility assessment and the infection control risk assessment. The program is
reviewed annually and updated as necessary.

acute respiratory infection (a sudden illness affecting the respiratory system), Chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breath), Type II Diabetes (a chronic
condition that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar leading to high blood sugar levels and various
health complications), and major depression disorder (a serious mood disorder characterized by persistent
feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed). Record review of Resident #36's
quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed that the resident had a BIMS score of 15 indicating she was
cognitively intact. The MDS also revealed, Resident #36 was dependent with transfers, and required
substantial to maximal assistance with eating, toileting, bathing, dressing upper and lower body.Record
review of Resident #36's Care Plan revised on 2/13/2025, revealed Resident #36 COPD with interventions
to monitor for signs and symptoms of acute respiratory insufficiency and monitor, document and report any
signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. During an observation and interview on 8/12/2025 at 8:21 AM,
a water bug was located running under Resident #36's bed. Resident #36 said she had noticed bugs in her
room. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 12:39 PM, LVN K said she had seen water bugs on the secured
unit. She said most of the time the water bugs were dead. LVN K said she had seen them pretty frequently
noticing them every other day. LVN K said she has seen the pest control company come out and spray. LVN
K said the building was old and she was not sure where they were coming from. LVN K said they could be
getting in from outside door gaps. LVN K said maintenance was responsible for ensuring the pests were
controlled.During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 1:00 PM, the Housekeeper N said she had worked at the
facility for approximately 1.5 months. She said the water bugs get bad and some days she does not see as
many. Housekeeper N said she noticed the water bugs more when there was rainy weather and humidity.
Housekeeper N said she has seen them in the bathrooms. Housekeeper N said no one had complained to
her about the water bugs and she did not know where they were coming from. During the interview, a water
bug was observed dead on the floor at the surveyor's feet in the hallway leading to the secure unit.During
an interview on 8/13/2025 at 1:23 PM the CNA E said she had seen water bugs. She said maintenance and

the bathrooms. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 4:13 PM, the Administrator said she expected the
building to be as free as possible for pests. She said if the staff observed an increase in bugs, they should
notify maintenance so the pest control company can come to the facility to spray. She said pest or bugs in
the building could cause infection to residents.During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 4:36 PM, the DON said
she was aware of the big water bugs. She said a pest control company has come out and the facility could
get them to come out more frequently. The DON said the facility staff try to keep them out of the building.
The DON said Maintenance was responsible for pest control, and it was all their responsibility. The DON
said staff was expected to report to Maintenance and then Maintenance contacted the pest control
company. She said it would not be good environmentally for the residents and the staff would not want
water bugs to get on the resident. The DON said it should not be an infection control issue. She said it could
be an infection control issue if bug crawls on floor, then on a resident. The DON said the staff had no
reports of water bugs on residents. She said she expected housekeeping to keep floors clean and bugs off
the floor. The DON said if the pest control company was doing their job, the water bugs found dead meant it
was working. Record review of the pest control company's service report dated 7/30/2025 revealed that
