Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the rights of the residents to be free
from abuse and neglect for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #30) reviewed for abuse.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to keep Resident #30 free from abuse and neglect, when CNA K, CNA EE, Student NA
FF, and Student NA O held her down and provided incontinent care while she was screaming and yelling
stop, leave me alone on 10/05/2024.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 10/29/2024 11:10 AM. The IJ template was provided to the
facility on [DATE] at 11:13 AM. While the IJ was removed on 10/30/2024 the facility remained out of
compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for more than
minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been trained on abuse policies,
behavior management policies, and restraint policies.
This failure could place residents at risk for serious psychosocial harm from abuse, humiliation, intimidation,
fear, shame, agitation, and decreased quality of life.
The findings included:
Record review of the face sheet dated 10/29/24, reflected Resident #30 was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (necrotic tissue in the
brain), dementia (memory loss) with behavioral disturbances, essential hypertension (high blood pressure),
and need for assistance with personal care.
Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected Resident #30 was understood by
others and was able to understand others. The MDS reflected Resident #30 had a BIMS score of 10,
indicating her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS reflected Resident #30 had verbal behaviors
and refused care daily. The MDS reflected Resident #30 was dependent on staff with toileting, showers,
and personal hygiene. The MDS reflected Resident #30 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan revised on 10/15/24, reflected Resident #30 was resistive to
care, refused nursing/CNA care frequently such as weights, incontinent care, medications, showers, vital
signs, labs, and other care. The care plan interventions included: allow the resident to make decisions
about treatment regimen, to provide sense of control; if resident resists with ADLs, reassure resident,
ensure safety, leave, and return 5-10 minutes later and try again; and it was her choice to be changed or
not when asked/offered by CNAs/nurses.
Record review of Resident #30's comprehensive monthly note dated 10/15/24 and created by the NP
indicated . When seen last week, she reported an episode of abuse to me and other staff members. DON
and Administrator notified. She was seen today while lying in bed. Pt initially started off calm and pleasant,
then started yelling and cursing. In the midst of her yelling, she reported physical abuse again by staff and
how she has pain in her [left] arm. Offered pain meds [medications] and scans, she refused and started
yelling more .

or said no, she would stop performing care and go back at a later time. CNA K said she was told by the
charge nurses that Resident #30 had to be changed twice a shift no matter what. CNA K stated she wanted
to stop but felt like if she did not get Resident #30 changed, she would have gotten into trouble for
disobeying. CNA K said it was important to respect Resident #30's wishes because it was her right to
refuse care. CNA K stated holding someone down against their will could have been considered abuse.
CNA K stated she would have done the same thing if she was changed against her will.

did not do that in Resident #30's case. CNA EE said 4 people were in the room and it was chaos. CNA EE
stated it was important to respect the resident's rights. CNA EE said continuing care for someone against

tried to talk Resident #30 into letting them help her. LVN LL said bargaining with Resident #30 worked at
times, but if she adamantly refused, then she would have documented it. LVN LL stated she was recently
hired, and she was working her third shift. LVN LL said if Resident #30 refused care, she expected the
CNAs to stop providing care and report it to her. LVN LL said CNAs should not have continued care if the

hurting and she had bruising to her left arm. The DON stated an assessment was completed and no
bruising was observed. The DON stated an x-ray was ordered but the resident refused. The DON stated
staff should have left the room and came back at a later time to provide care. The DON stated Resident #30

CNAs and NAs were doing their jobs. The DON stated Resident #30 had a history of refusing incontinent
care for days to the point urine was running off her bed onto the floor. The DON stated they had tried
different things to convince Resident #30 to allow staff to change her, but she continued to refuse care. The
DON stated she told staff Resident #30 should have been changed at least once a shift. The DON stated it
was important to respect the residents right to refuse care for multiple reasons, that included resident
rights, injury, and traumatization.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the resident status
for 1 of 23 residents (Resident # 47) reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident # 47's in and out self-catheterization (procedure used to empty the
bladder by inserting a catheter, small tube, into the bladder to drain urine and immediately removed) was
coded accurately on the Quarterly MDS Assessment with an ARD of 08/01/2024.
These failures could place residents at risk for not receiving care and services to meet their needs.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 10/20/2024 indicated Resident #47 was a [AGE] year-old female
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included lumbar
spina bifida without hydrocephalus (birth disorder involves the incomplete development of the spine),
hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis or weakness), paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body caused by
a problem with the spinal cord or nerves), and urinary tract infection.
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #47 was usually
understood and understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #47 had a BIMS of 15, which
indicated her cognition was intact. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #47 required
substantial/maximal assistance with toileting and personal hygiene and partial/moderate assistance for
showering/bathing and upper body dressing and was dependent for lower body dressing. Resident #47's
MDS assessment indicated none of the above for indwelling catheter, external catheter, ostomy (opening
created on the skin), intermittent catheterization.
Record review of Resident #47's Order Summary Report dated 10/30/2024 did not indicate an order for the
Resident #47 to perform in and out catheterization.
Record review of the July 2024 Documentation Survey Report indicated Intervention/Task Catheter urine
output was documented on 07/28/2024, 07/29/2024, and 07/31/2024.
Record review of Resident #47's progress note completed by the NP on 07/30/2024 indicated Resident #47
had neurogenic bladder (a condition where normal bladder function is disrupted due to nerve damage) in
and out catheter daily.
During an interview and observation on 10/31/2024 starting at 10:02 AM, the DON said when she started in
January of 2023 Resident #47 was doing in and out catheters. The DON said in the past, Resident #47 had
a permanent suprapubic catheter, but now she completed the in and out catheterization through the
opening in her belly button, incision in her belly button.
During an interview on 10/31/2024 at 4:34 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for
completing the MDS assessment. The MDS Coordinator said she had not coded Resident #47's in and out
self-catheterization on the MDS because she did not have proof Resident #47 used the catheter within the
look back period. The MDS Coordinator said it was important for the MDS assessments to be coded
accurately because she was painting a picture of what Resident #47 received, what her needs were, and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:12 PM, the Regional Compliance Nurse stated they did not have a
policy for MDS accuracy. They followed the RAI manual.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:44 PM, the ADO said if Resident #47 performed
self-catheterization he expected for it to be accurately reflected on her MDS. The ADO said the MDS
Coordinator was responsible for the MDS assessments, and he expected communication between the
DON, ADON, and MDS nurse at the standards of care meeting for the MDS to be coded accurately. The
ADO said it was important for the MDS to be accurate because it generated the level of care for the
resident and they could be paid too much or too little, and the MDS assessment could trigger for something
that was needed on the care plan.
Record review of the Resident Assessment Instrument Version 1.18.11, October 2023, indicated, .Check
next to each appliance that was used at any time in the past 7 days. Select none of the above if none of the
appliance's A-D were used in the past 7 days H0100A, indwelling catheter (including suprapubic catheter

colostomy) H0100D, intermittent catheterization H0100Z, none of the above.Self-catheterizations that are
performed by the resident in the facility should be coded as intermittent catheterization (H0100D). This
includes self-catheterizations using clean technique .

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent of the
bladder and had an indwelling urinary catheter received appropriate treatment and services for 1 of 2
residents (Resident #47) reviewed for urinary catheters.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #47 was provided proper supplies to perform in and out
self-catheterization (procedure used to empty the bladder by inserting a catheter, small tube, into the
bladder to drain urine and immediately removed).
This failure could place residents at risk of urinary tract infections and a decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 10/20/2024 indicated Resident #47 was a [AGE] year-old female
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included lumbar
spina bifida without hydrocephalus (birth disorder involves the incomplete development of the spine),
hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis or weakness), paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body caused by
a problem with the spinal cord or nerves), and urinary tract infection.
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #47 was usually
understood and understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #47 had a BIMS of 15, which
indicated her cognition was intact. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #47 required
substantial/maximal assistance with toileting and personal hygiene and partial/moderate assistance for
showering/bathing and upper body dressing and was dependent for lower body dressing. Resident #47's
MDS assessment indicated none of the above for indwelling catheter, external catheter, ostomy, intermittent
catheterization.
Record review of Resident #47's care plan last reviewed 08/23/2024 indicated she had a urinary tract
infection to encourage adequate fluid intake, give antibiotic therapy as ordered and monitor/document for
side effects and effectiveness, give antipyretics (medications that reduce fever), analgesics (medication for
pain relief) and antispasmodics (muscle relaxers used for bladder and gut issues) as ordered/PRN and
monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness, monitor intake and output, provide incontinent care as
needed, and resident/family/caregiver teaching should include: good hygiene practices females to wipe and
cleanse from front to back, clean peri area well after bowel movement in order to help prevent bacteria in
urinary tract, void at first urge. do not hold urine for extended amount of time, wear clean underwear daily,
take the full course of antibiotic therapy even if much improved after a few days of therapy. The care plan
indicated Resident #47 had bladder incontinence. Resident #47's care plan indicated she had an ADL
self-care deficit and required assistance of 2 staff for bathing, bed mobility and toilet use. Resident #47's
care plan did not indicated she completed in and out catheters.
Record review of Resident #47's Order Summary Report dated 10/30/2024 did not indicate an order for the
Resident #47 to perform in and out catheterization.
Record review of Resident #47's progress note completed by the NP on 07/30/2024 indicated Resident

#47 had neurogenic bladder (a condition where normal bladder function is disrupted due to nerve damage)
in and out catheter daily.
Record review of Resident #47's urine culture dated 06/25/2024 indicated proteus mirabilis (bacteria)
colony count >100,000.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #47's emergency department visit arrival date 08/21/2024 indicated diagnosis of
urinary tract infection.
During an observation and interview on 10/28/2024 at 3:23 PM, Resident #47 had 16 fr foley catheters on
top of her bedside table and a urinal, no other supplies such as gloves, hand sanitizer, cleansing wipes or
swabs were observed. Resident #47 said she performed her own in and out catheters. Resident #47 said
the staff had only been giving her the foley catheters.
During an interview on 10/30/2024 at 3:53 PM, LVN L said Resident #47 completed her own in and out
catheters. LVN L said Resident #47 should have a physician's order for it. LVN L checked Resident #47's
electronic health record and said she could not find the physician's order, but maybe I am not looking in the
right place. LVN L said she would have the DON check on it. LVN L said it was important for Resident #47
to have an order for the in and out catheters so they knew not to provide care for the resident and so they
could make sure Resident #47 had the supplies she needed.
During an observation and interview on 10/30/2024 at 4:14 PM, Resident #47 said the nurses had not
provided her with teaching regarding her doing her own in and out catheter. When asked how she
completed the in and out catheter, Resident #47 said she just did it and motioned she grabbed the catheter
inserted it, let the urine drain into a urinal she has at bedside, and removed it. Resident #47 did not indicate
she performed hand hygiene or wiped the site of insertion prior to insertion. Resident #47 only had the in
and out catheters and urinals at bedside.
During an interview on 10/30/2024 at 4:30 PM, the DON said Resident #47 should have an order to
perform in and out catheters on herself. The DON said the nurse that received the order for the in and out
catheter should have put it in Resident #47's electronic medical record. The DON said Resident #47's in
and out catheterization was ordered by the urologist, and she was provided the documents and should
have ensured the order was put in, but she missed it. Regarding education provided to Resident #47 for her
to complete in and out catheter on herself the DON said Resident #47 was doing it at home. The DON said
Resident #47 had been doing it at home, and any teaching they would have provided would have been
completed when they received the order. The DON said in the past, she had observed Resident #47
perform an in and out catheter on herself and she had done it properly. The DON said it was important for
Resident #47 to have an order to perform self-catheters so the nurses knew how to properly take care of
the resident, and without the order they may not have the supplies she needed or be unaware that was how
she was urinating. The DON said Resident #47 should have hand sanitizer, gloves, cleaning swabs within
reach so she could perform her own in and out catheter.
During an interview on 10/31/2024 at 9:26 AM, LVN A said she was not aware Resident #47 did not have
gloves, hand sanitizer, and cleansing supplies for her in and out catheter. LVN A said she had not been
checking Resident #47's room to ensure she had the proper supplies. LVN A said she had not provided
Resident #47 teaching regarding properly performing in and out catheter because Resident #47 had been
doing it on herself since before she admitted to the facility. LVN A said she was not able to provide Resident
#47 education on the in and out catheter because she herself had not been educated on the type of
teaching she needed to be providing Resident #47. LVN A said it was important for

Resident #47 to be educated and perform in and out catheters properly to prevent urinary tract infections.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 10/31/2024 at 9:46 AM, the Treatment Nurse said she had observed Resident #47
self-catheter and had educated her on ensuring she was using hand sanitizer and gloves. The Treatment
Nurse said when she performed her weekly skin assessments on Resident #47's she reminded her to hand
sanitize before she used the in and out catheter. The Treatment Nurse said she did not have documentation
to show she had completed teaching with Resident #47 regarding the in and out catheter. The Treatment
Nurse said it was important for Resident #47 to use proper hand hygiene and technique when she
performed the in and out catheter to prevent urinary tract infections.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview and observation on 10/31/2024 starting at 10:02 AM, the DON said when she started in
January of 2023 Resident #47 was doing in and out catheters. The DON said in the past, Resident #47 had
a permanent suprapubic catheter (catheter in incision created in the belly to drain urine from the bladder),
but now she completed the in and out catheterization through the opening in her belly button, incision in her
belly button. The DON said when Resident #47 performed in and out catheterization she was supposed to
hand sanitize, put on gloves, clean the insertion site, change gloves, insert the catheter, let the urine run
out, cleanse any residue off, and wash her hands. The DON said Resident #47 had a 3-tier clear plastic
storage container in her room with the supplies she needed. The DON said the last time she had checked
the supplies in Resident #47's room was in September 2024. An observation of the storage container was
made with the DON. The storage container did not have catheter supplies and was out of Resident #47's
reach. Resident #47's personal items were in the 3-tier storage container. The DON said the catheter
supplies should have been within Resident #47's reach. The DON said ultimately, she was responsible for
ensuring the staff was providing Resident #47 with the catheter supplies she needed, but it was also a team
effort. The DON said the nurses should have been checking daily to ensure Resident #47 had the supplies
she needed available.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:48 PM, the ADO said if Resident #47 was going to use a catheter
on herself the facility needed to provide her the tools to do everything, which included the proper tools to
clean and providing her help. The ADO said the nurses and CNAs were responsible for ensuring Resident
#47 had the necessary supplies and proper teaching. The ADO said not providing the proper supplies, and
teaching placed her at risk for urinary tract infections and infections.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Catheter Insertion, Male/Female, indicated, Female and male
catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into the urinary bladder via the urethra to drain the bladder of
urine. Catheterization can be performed using straight catheter to drain urine from the bladder and then
removing .Sterile technique is utilized as the bladder is a sterile cavity and infection associated with
catheterization is common .Perform suprapubic catheterization: Put on gloves. Place the sterile drape over
the suprapubic opening to the bladder. Hold the suprabuic [sic] opening with the nondominant hand and
cleanse from the opening outward in a circular motion with antiseptic swabs or cotton balls with an
antiseptic held with a forceps. Pick up the catheter four inches from the tip. Place the end in the basin to
collect the urine and insert the lubricated catheter about 2 inche [sic] into the suprapubic opening. Avoid
using any force during the insertion if resistance is met. Pinch catheter and collect a specimen if needed
and then allow the urine to continue to flow into the basin until the bladder is empty if a single
catheterization is being informed [sic] .

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**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 3 of 4 residents' (Resident's #2, #4, and #30) reviewed
for trauma-informed care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #30 was not held down and provided incontinent care while she was
screaming and yelling stop, leave me alone on [DATE] by CNA K, CNA EE, Student NA FF, and Student NA
O.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #30's history of being kidnapped, raped, and almost murdered was
included on the care plan.
3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #30's potential triggers for re-traumatization were assessed and
documented in the care plan.
4. The facility failed to ensure Resident #4's history of trauma and diagnosis of PTSD was reflected on her
trauma screening.
5. The facility failed to ensure Resident #4's history of trauma and diagnosis of PTSD was included on the
care plan, with her potential triggers for re-traumatization identified.
6. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2's trauma screening reflected her diagnosis of PTSD.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 11:13 AM. While the IJ was removed on [DATE] the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of
patterned and a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal harm that is not
immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been trained on abuse policies, behavior management
policies, and restraint policies.
These failures could put residents at an increased risk for severe psychological distress due to
re-traumatization.
The findings included:
1. Record review of the face sheet dated [DATE], reflected Resident #30 was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included cerebral infarction (necrotic tissue in the
brain), dementia (memory loss) with behavioral disturbances, essential hypertension (high blood pressure),
and need for assistance with personal care.
Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected Resident #30 was understood by
others and was able to understand others. The MDS reflected Resident #30 had a BIMS score of 10,
indicating her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS reflected Resident #30 had verbal behaviors
and refused care daily. The MDS reflected Resident #30 was dependent on staff with toileting, showers,
and personal hygiene. The MDS reflected Resident #30 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of the comprehensive care plan revised on [DATE], reflected Resident #30 was resistive to
care, refused nursing/CNA care frequently such as weights, incontinent care, medications, showers, vital
signs, labs, and other care. The care plan interventions included: allow the resident to make decisions
about treatment regimen, to provide sense of control; if resident resists with ADLs, reassure resident,
ensure safety, leave, and return 5-10 minutes later and try again; and it was her choice to be changed or
not when asked/offered by CNAs/nurses. The comprehensive care plan did not address Resident #30's
history of trauma to include potential triggers for re-traumatization.
Record review of the social history assessment dated [DATE], reflected Resident #30 had a history of
trauma. The assessment reflected Resident #30 had experienced a life-threatening illness, physical assault,
physically threatened, sexually assaulted, and sexually threatened. The assessment reflected Resident #30
had been in and witnessed an extremely frightening situation. The assessment reflected Resident #30
reported at the age of 29 she was kidnapped from a store where she was working at. She states that two
black men kidnapped, raped, and attempted to murder her. The FBI was involved, and she was found.
Record review of Resident #30's comprehensive monthly note dated [DATE] and created by the NP
indicated . When seen last week, she reported an episode of abuse to me and other staff members. DON
and Administrator notified. She was seen today while lying in bed. Pt initially started off calm and pleasant,
then started yelling and cursing. In the midst of her yelling, she reported physical abuse again by staff and
how she has pain in her [left] arm. Offered pain meds [medications] and scans, she refused and started
yelling more .
Record review of Resident #30's progress note dated [DATE], reflected . Pt [patient] gets anxious and
combative with nursing care. She has a history of being sexually assaulted by several males. She denies
symptoms of PTSD (a mental and behavioral disorder that develops from experiencing a traumatic event). I
cannot rule out post-traumatic stress disorder at this time .
During an interview on [DATE] at 11:19 AM, Resident #30 stated she remembered an incident where she
was held down and changed against her will. Resident #30 said she did not yell unless there was a reason.
Resident #30 said she did not know the names of the staff members that held her down, but it was abuse.
Resident #30 stated if anyone held you down, that was abuse. Resident #30 said she had bruising on her
arm and her left shoulder was hurting. Resident #30 said the woman walked in and took her stuff, moved it
to the side, grabbed her arm and twisted from the elbow to her wrist. Resident #30 stated the girls were not
fired; they just were not allowed to come back into her room. Resident #30 stated she was kidnapped by
two men, sexually assaulted, and almost murdered. Resident #30 said the two men came into the store and
asked for some liquor. Resident #30 stated they followed her into the back and grabbed her. Resident #30
stated they placed a gun to her head and made her take off her clothing. Resident #30 stated she was
raped for hours. Resident #30 said her brain shut off, but she remembered being by some water. Resident
#30 said after they were done, they tried to make her get out of the car. Resident #30 said a short time later
the FBI rescued her. Resident #30 said she knew if she got out of the car she would have been killed.
Resident #30 said for the longest time she was unable to talk about the incident because her brain was
trying to protect itself.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:29 AM, CNA K stated she remembered an incident with Resident #30.

her. CNA K stated as soon as CNA EE moved Resident #30's fridge all hell broke loose. CNA K stated
Resident #30 started screaming, cussing, hitting, and kicking staff. CNA K stated they had to clean her, so
they held her down and continued cleaning her. CNA K stated Resident #30 kept yelling no, stop. CNA K
stated Resident #30 told her she was hurting her when she was wiping. CNA K stated she apologized but
explained she had to get her cleaned and a new brief placed on her. CNA K stated Resident #30 said she
understood but kept yelling no, stop, leave me alone. CNA K stated normally when residents refused care
or said no, she would stop performing care and come back at a later time. CNA K said she was told by the
charge nurses that Resident #30 had to be changed twice a shift no matter what. CNA K stated she wanted
to stop but felt like if she did not get Resident #30 changed, she would have gotten into trouble for
disobeying. CNA K stated she was aware of Resident #30's history of trauma. CNA K stated Resident #30
told her the story of being kidnapped, raped, and almost murdered. CNA K stated changing someone
against their will could have triggered re-traumatization, but she was told by the DON Resident #30 had to
be changed. CNA K stated she would have done the same thing if she was changed against her will.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:37 AM, CNA EE stated on [DATE] she was asked by Student NA O to
assist with changing Resident #30. CNA EE stated she had only worked at the facility for one week at the
time of the incident. CNA EE said from what she remembered, there was a lot of screaming and yelling
from Resident #30 when she was changed. CNA EE stated the other staff members stated it was normal
for Resident #30 to yell, scream, and become combative during care so they continued. CNA EE said she
held her over from the left shoulder area and on her back. CNA EE stated Resident #30 was mostly yelling
and screaming and not hitting much. CNA EE said Resident #30 was pushing against the railing to try and
push herself away. CNA EE said if a resident refused care, started yelling no, or became combative they
should have backed away and reported it to the charge nurse. CNA EE said they did not do that in Resident
#30's case. CNA EE said 4 people were in the room and it was chaos. CNA EE stated she was unsure if
Resident #30 had a history of trauma. Resident #30 said it was important to know if a resident had a history
of trauma, but she was unsure where to find out if a resident had a history of trauma. CNA EE said she
usually asked the nurse. CNA EE said continuing care for someone against their will, could have
traumatized the resident.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:38 AM, LVN LL stated Resident #30 refused to be changed most of the
time. LVN LL said when Resident #30 refused care, the CNAs reported it to her, and she would have tried
to talk Resident #30 into letting them help her. LVN LL said bargaining with Resident #30 works at times,
but if she adamantly refused, then she would have documented it. LVN LL stated she was recently hired,
and she was working her third shift. LVN LL said if Resident #30 refused care, she expected the CNAs to
stop providing care and report it to her. LVN LL said CNAs should not have continued care if the resident
refused, started yelling, or became combative. LVN LL said she was not aware if Resident #30 had a
history of trauma. LVN LL said she found out if residents had a history of trauma by looking in the chart or
asking staff. LVN LL said if Resident #30 had a history of trauma and was changed against her will, it could
have caused re-traumatization.
During an interview on [DATE] at 5:00 AM, the DON stated Resident #30 had reported that she was held
down and changed against her will. The DON stated 4 people were identified during the investigation, CNA
K, CNA EE, Student NA O, and Student NA FF. The DON stated the CNAs reported they went into change
Resident #30, and she became combative. The DON said the CNAs reported Resident #30 was not held
down but when she became combative the CNAs blocked and protected themselves from her hitting and
kicking. The DON said Resident #30 reported the Administrator she was assaulted in her 30's. The DON
stated she was unaware of Resident #30's history of trauma until the incident occurred. The DON said

preferences .include asking resident about triggers that may be stressors or may prompt recall of a
previous traumatic event .facilities must identify triggers which may re-traumatize residents with a history of
trauma The facility should collaborate with resident trauma survivors to develop and implement
individualized interventions .trigger specific interventions should be identified .

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that licensed staff were able to
demonstrate the specific competencies and skill sets necessary to care for resident's needs for 1 of 5 staff
(CNA K) reviewed for competencies.
The facility failed to ensure CNA K was competent in infection control and providing incontinent care on
10/29/2024.
This failure could potentially affect residents by placing them at an increased and unnecessary risk of
exposure to staff who lack the appropriate skills and competencies to provide safe care and minimize
infections.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 10/30/2024 indicated Resident #209 was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of unspecified ovary
(ovarian cancer) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic inflammatory lung condition that
affects the respiratory system).
Record review of Resident #209's electronic medical record on 10/30/2024 indicated her MDS assessment
had not been completed.
Record review of Resident #209's care plan with date initiated 10/26/2024 indicated she had bladder and
bowel incontinence to check every two hours and assist with toileting as need and to provide peri care after
each incontinent episode.
During an observation of incontinent care on 10/29/2024 starting at 4:37 AM, CNA K donned gloves,
unfastened Resident #209's brief, placed a packet of wipes on top of Resident #209's bed, and pulled out
wipes. CNA K cleaned Resident #209's front peri area and turned Resident #209 onto her side. CNA K
touched the wipes packet with her dirty gloves and wiped Resident #209's back peri area. CNA K said she
had finished wiping Resident #209. The Surveyor intervened due to residue of stool observed, and asked
CNA K to wipe Resident #209 one more time. CNA K wiped Resident #209 again and residue of stool was
noted on the wipe. CNA K said she had not completely cleaned Resident #209's back peri area and
cleaned her again. CNA K finished cleaning Resident #209 and using her dirty gloves applied the clean
brief and sheet. CNA K with her dirty gloves put on Resident #209's pants on, removed her dirty gloves,
and repositioned Resident #209 and then performed hand hygiene. CNA K left Resident #209's room,
disposed of the trash, and handed the packet of wipes to a different CNA who took the packet of wipes into
another resident's room to provide care.
During an interview on 10/29/2024 at 6:14 AM, CNA K said hand hygiene should be performed before they
started and then after. CNA K said she only changed her gloves if they were visibly soiled with bowel
movement. CNA K said that was the way she was taught by other staff at the facility. CNA K said nurse
management had not watched her perform incontinent care or done any teaching with her on providing
incontinent care since she started at the facility. CNA K said when performing incontinent care she used as
many wipes as she could, and she thought she had wiped Resident #209 until she was clean. CNA K said
she did not see any residual from the bowel movement on Resident #209. CNA K said she

tried to look at the wipes after wiping to ensure there was no bowel movement left. CNA K said it was
important to ensure the residents were cleaned properly because they could get any type of infection and
urinary tract infections. CNA K said she was not sure how she was supposed to use the wipes. CNA K said
most of the residents had their own packet of wipes in their rooms. CNA K said when she did orientation
with the other CNAs, she watched them take the whole packet of wipes into the residents' rooms. Then they
returned the packet of wipes to the clean linen cart to use it on other residents, so that's what she did. CNA
K said taking the packet of wipes in the residents' rooms, touching it with dirty gloves, placing it on the
residents' beds or bedside tables could cause infection because bacteria would be transferred. CNA K said
a competency check was left at the facility for her to sign. CNA K said nurse management left it for her to
sign, and nobody observed her providing the care listed on the competency check. CNA K said it was
important for her competency check to be adequately completed so she knew how to correctly provide care
to the residents.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 11:27 AM, the DON said she was responsible for monitoring the
CNAs to ensure they were performing proper incontinent care. The DON said she performed random audits
and competencies were completed upon hire and annually. The DON said the ADON was responsible for
completing CNA K's competency. The DON said it was important for the staff competencies to be
completed to ensure the CNAs provided proper care.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:12 PM, the ADON said the competencies were completed
between the DON and herself. The ADON said she completed the competency checks by observing the
staff first. The ADON said she had observed CNA K perform skills to complete her competency check. The
ADON did not specify when she observed CNA K perform the skills to have a competency check
completed. The ADON said she guessed she got too busy, and that was why she had not dated CNA K's
competency check. The ADON said it would be ideal to date the competency checks when they were
completed. The ADON said it was important to make observations of the staff performing skills and
complete the competency checks to ensure they were doing things correctly.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:52 PM, the ADO said the staff competencies should be completed
per protocol. He thought they should be completed upon hire, annually, and then as need to follow the
policy. The ADO said the ADON and DON were responsible for completing the staff competencies. The
ADO said it was important to complete the competencies to ensure they were hiring people that were
sufficient to do the job they did. The ADO said it was important to observe the staff complete skills to
ensure they were doing it correctly, and not making the observations of the skills placed residents at risk for
inaccurate care and incorrect care performed.
Record review of an undated CNA Proficiency Audit for CNA K signed by the ADON indicated she had
performed all skills satisfactory, which included female perineal care, handwashing, and infection control
awareness.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:07 PM, the facility's policy for staff competencies was requested
from the Regional Compliance Nurse and not received upon exit of the facility.

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 establish a system of receipt and disposition
of all controlled drugs in sufficient detail to enable accurate reconciliation and determine that drug records
are in order and that an account of all controlled drugs were maintained and periodically reconciled for 1 of
1 storage area reviewed for expired and discontinued medications.
The facility failed to keep a record of the receipt of controlled medications awaiting disposition to allow
accurate and periodic reconciliation.
This failure could place residents at risk for loss of prescribed medications and drug diversion.
Findings included:
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 3:47 p.m., the following unlogged medications were
observed in the controlled medications storage area waiting to be disposed of:
*Morphine/Diazepam supp 10mg/10mls-12 Supp,
*Diazepam 5mg/0.5ml - 30 tablets,
*Diazepam gel 10mg/1ml - 10 syringes,
*Diazepam 5mg/0.5ml - 7 syringes,
*Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5/325mg -23 tabs,
* Morphine/Diazepam supp 10mg/10mls-12 Supp,
*Morphine 50mg/0.5mls- 18 syringes, and
*Diazepam 5mg/0.5ml - 20 syringes
The DON said her process when she reconciled medications that needed to be disposed of was as follows:
the nurse that brought her the medications and herself signed off on the narcotic sheet indicating how
much medication was left, the narcotic sheet was placed with the medication, and the medication and
narcotic sheet was placed in the locked cabinet until the medication destruction was completed with the
pharmacist. The DON said the medication log was not up to date. The DON said she had been busy and
did not follow the policy of logging medications. The DON said she was responsible for logging the
medication when it was brought to her. The DON said by not logging the medications there was a risk for
medications to come up missing.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 3:00 p.m., the facility's Pharmacist said the DON was responsible for
overseeing the expired or discontinued medications. She said when a nurse brought the DON either the
discontinued or expired medication both nurses were to sign the narcotic sheet verifying the medication
was correct. She said then the DON was responsible for logging it on the destruction sheet and keeping it
under double lock until she came to destroy it.

During an interview on [DATE] at 12:52 p.m., the Regional Director of Operations said he expected the
expired or discontinued narcotics to be given to the DON with the narcotic count sheet. The Regional
Director of Operations said he expected the DON to log the narcotic medications as soon as possible and it
was the DON's responsibility to ensure that was completed. The Regional Director of Operations said by
not logging the medications there was a risk for medications to be taken, lost, or not destroyed properly.

Record review of the facility policy titled, Storage of Medication, from the Pharmacy Policy & Procedure
Manual 2003, indicated Medications and biologicals are stored safely, securely, and properly following
manufacturers recommendations or those of the supplier.
Record review of the facility policy titled, Ordering Scheduled II Controlled Medication by Pharmacy [NAME]
2003, indicated, Medications included in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classification as
controlled substances, and medications classified as controlled substances by state law, are subject to
special ordering, receipt, and record keeping requirements in the facility, in accordance with federal and
state laws and regulations. 6. Medications listed in Schedules II, III, IV, and V are stored under double lock
in a locked cabinet or safe designated for that purpose, separate from all other medications. Alternatively, in
a unit dose system, Schedule III, IV, and V medications may be kept with other medications in the cart
however this is at the discretion of the consultant pharmacist and Director of Nursing, due to the possibility
of abuse for any of the controlled drug categories.

pen first. She said she could see why it would be important to prime the insulin pen ensuring it was
functional properly. She said she would prime the insulin pens going forward because she wanted to ensure
the residents were receiving the correct dose of insulin.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 11:45 a.m., the ADON said she was not aware that the insulin pens
needed to be primed before given insulin. She said they had done training on insulin for the nurses, but they
had not been educated on priming the insulin pens before use. The ADON reviewed the facility policy and
said she would have to re-educate staff on priming the insulin pen. She said if the insulin pen were not
working correctly the resident may not receive the correct dose which could cause their blood sugar levels
to go up.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 12:16 p.m., the DON said she expected nurses to give insulin correctly.
The DON read the facility's policy on insulin pens and said she thought they only needed to be primed with
the first dose. She said she would do an in-service about priming the insulin pens before each use. She
said if the pen were malfunctioning then a resident might not receive the correct dose of insulin which could
make their blood sugar level rise.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 1:01 p.m., the Regional Director of Operations said if it was required for
the nurses to prime the insulin pens, then he expected for the nurses to do it. He said they should follow the
policy and nurse management was to ensure they were administrating insulin correctly. He said failure to
give insulin as ordered could cause a resident insulin to increase.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Physician Orders revised 2015, indicated The purpose was to
monitor and ensure the accuracy and completeness of the medication orders, treatment orders, and ADL
order for each resident.
Written Orders by the Physician or Nurse Practitioner. 1. The Nurse will review the order and if needed
contact the prescriber for any clarifications.
Record review of facility's policy titled, Insulin Pen Use by Pharmacy Policy & Procedure Manual 2003
revised 04/01/15, indicated Important information for the use of an insulin pen:
o Always attach a new needle before each use.
o Always perform the safety test before each injection.
o Do not select a dose or press the injection button without a needle attached.
o This pen is only for one resident's use
Step 1. Check the insulin.
A. Check the label on the pen to make sure you have the correct insulin.
Step 2. Attach the needle.
Step 3. Perform a Safety test A. Select a dose of 2 units by turning the dosage selector. B. Hold the pen
with the needle pointing upwards. C. Tap the insulin reservoir so that any air bubbles rise towards the
needle. D. Press the injection button in. Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip.

insulin, Resident #4's Lantus insulin, Resident # 14's Combivent Respimat inhaler, Resident # 9's Albuterol
solution, and Resident # 42's Stiolto Respimat and Lispro were all open and not dated.
During an observation of the medication room on 10/29/24 at 8:40 a.m., Resident #24's Diazepam
suppositories was in the refrigerator and expired on 09/24.
During an interview on 10/29/24 at 8:45 a.m., LVN B said all medications should be dated when opened.
She said the nurse who opened these medications should have put a date on each of them. LVN B said all
nurses should be held accountable for ensuring medications were dated; she said including herself. She
said if medications were given past the manufacturer or expiration date, then they may not be as effective.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 11:42 a.m., the ADON said she expected the nurses to check their carts
daily. She said the insulin. Albuterol solutions and inhalers should be dated when opened and discarded
when expired. The ADON said the medication aide or nurse who opened the insulin and inhaler was
responsible for dating it. The ADON said by not dating the inhalers when opened the staff would be
unaware of when the inhalers expired. She said since these medications had a certain number of days
before they would expire and if not given during those time frames, it could cause the medications not to be
as effective.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 12:16 p.m., the DON said she expected the nurses and medication
aides to audit their carts at least weekly to check for expired medications. She said it was her responsibility
to oversee that the carts were being audited. The DON said she expected the insulin and the inhaler to be
dated when opened. She said whoever opened the insulin and the inhaler should have been responsible for
dating them. She said expired medications should be removed from the cart. The DON said the residents
were at risk for medications to be ineffective.
During an interview on 01/11/24 at 5:44 p.m., the Regional Director of Operations said he did not expect
any undated or expired medications on the medication carts or in the refrigerator. He said he expected the
insulin pens, albuterol packages, and inhalers to be dated when opened and discarded after expiration
days. The Regional Director of Operations said the resident was at risk of receiving expired medication that
could be ineffective.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Insulin Pen Use by Pharmacy Policy & Procedure Manual 2003

During an interview on 10/28/24 at 12:41 p.m., CNA E said she did not notice Resident #49's tea was not
nectar consistency. She said she would have given it to Resident #49 if the surveyor did not intervene. She
said she was not sure who checked the trays but assumed it was correct.
During an observation and interview on 10/28/24 at 12:42 p.m., the ADON looked at the tea and said it was
not nectar consistent. The ADON took the tea back to the kitchen and asked for nectar thick tea. She said
Resident #49 had an order for nectar thick liquids and should receive them to prevent choking.
During an interview on 10/28/24 at 12:44 p.m., DA H said she did not have the correct nectar thick liquid so
he just eyeballed what the nectar consistency should look like. She said the container she had was one liter
and she put 17 pumps into the tea. She said she was trained to follow the directions on the bottle but said
she had been at the facility for a long time and felt she could just eyeball the thicket liquids. She said not
serving the right consistency could choke a resident.

initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included
Parkinson's Disease (progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body
controlled by the nerves causes unintended or uncontrollable movements) and dementia (deterioration of
memory, language, and other thinking abilities).
Record review of the Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #44 was
rarely/never understood by others and was rarely/never able to understand others. The MDS assessment
indicated Resident #44 had a short-term and long-term memory problem. The MDS assessment indicated
Resident #44 was dependent on staff for all her ADLs. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #44 had a
swallowing disorder which included loss of liquids/solids from mouth when eating or drinking and holding
food in mouth/cheeks or residual food in mouth after meals. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #44
required a mechanically altered diet (change in texture of food or liquids such as pureed food or thickened
liquids).
Record review of Resident #44's care plan revised 10/02/2024 indicated she required a pureed diet with
nectar thick liquids with interventions for nectar thick liquids and to serve diet and snacks as ordered.
Record review of the Order Summary Report dated 10/31/2024 indicated Resident #44 had an order for a
regular diet with a pureed texture, nectar consistency and to use a divided plate with a start date of

During an observation and interview on 10/29/24 at 12:40 p.m., LVN D was checking the hall cart trays
when she told an unknown CNA the cart was ready. This surveyor asked LVN D to recheck Resident #44's
tray and this time she said the tea and water were thin consistency and not nectar. She had the aide take
both drinks back to the kitchen for the right consistency. She said when she first checked the trays, she did
not see the nectar thick consistency on Resident #44 's tray card. She said it was important to serve the
right consistency to prevent choking.
During an interview on 10/30/24 at 3:17 p.m., the Dietary Manager said he was the overseer of the kitchen.
He said on 10/28/24 the kitchen was out of pre-made nectar thick tea. He said he was not aware they were
out of pre-made thickeners until the surveyors questioned his staff on 10/28/24 about the consistency of the

Residents Affected - Few
During a phone interview on 10/31/24 at 3:21 p.m., the dietitian said she expected staff to serve and
prepare nectar thick liquid as directed and not to deviate because it could cause aspiration.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 11:42 a.m., the ADON said Residents #49 and #44 should only receive
nectar-thickened liquids and were at risk for aspiration and choking if not provided thickened liquids.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 12:16 p.m., the DON said she saw that the drinks were not nectar
consistency as she was in the dining room when the drinks were being served. She said the DM was the
overseer of the kitchen staff. She said the kitchen should be making the drink related to the resident's diet
orders. She said failure to serve nectar-thickened liquids could place residents at risk for aspiration and
choking.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 1:01 p.m., the Regional Director of Operations said he expected the
kitchen to prepare and serve the correct consistency of drinks for residents who required thickened liquids.
He said if we do not serve the correct drink, we could place the residents at risk of choking.
Review of the facility's policy titled, Thickened Liquids, revised February 2007, indicated, Residents that
have been diagnosed with swallowing difficulties may require thickened liquid as an intervention to avoid
aspiration. The facility will ensure that the resident on thickened liquids can consume them in a safe and
comfortable manner. Policy: thickened liquids will be prepared as ordered by the physician. Procedure: the
dietary service manager will specify the thickness of the liquid as per the physician's order on the diet card
and prepare it accordingly. #5 thickened liquids will not be served until they reach the appropriate
consistency. #6 prior to serving the tray to the resident the nurse aide will verify the diet's order and the
desired consistency of thickened liquids if the liquid is not the correct consistency the dietary department
would prepare another appropriate thickened liquid. No liquid will be served to the resident until the liquid is
the ordered consistency.

During an interview on 11/01/24 at 11:45 a.m., the ADON said she expected nurses to change gloves and
perform hand hygiene after they took a resident's blood sugar. She said she expected staff to wipe the
entire peri area when they provide incontinence care and to change their gloves between dirty to clean.
She said she had done check-offs with the CNAs. She said failure to provide incontinence care correctly or
hand hygiene could lead to infection control issues. She said she expected staff to wear their PPE when
going in resident rooms who were on EBP to protect the residents as well as staff.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 12:16 p.m., the DON said she expected staff to wash both the peri area
and the buttock when providing incontinence care. She said if the gloves were soiled then staff should
remove them, perform hand hygiene, and apply new gloves. She said these things should be done to
prevent infections. The DON said they have done incontinence care check-offs. She said they were done on
hire, yearly, and as needed. She said if staff were going to be in close contact such as changing linen or
providing incontinence care then they should have on PPE (gown/glove) to prevent the spread of infection
or cross-contamination.
4. Record review of a face sheet dated 10/30/2024 indicated Resident #209 was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included malignant neoplasm of unspecified ovary
(ovarian cancer) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic inflammatory lung condition that
affects the respiratory system).
Record review of Resident #209's electronic medical record on 10/30/2024 indicated her MDS assessment
had not been completed.
Record review of Resident #209's care plan with date initiated 10/26/2024 indicated she had bladder and
bowel incontinence to check every two hours and assist with toileting as need and to provide peri care after
each incontinent episode.
During an observation of incontinent care on 10/29/2024 starting at 4:37 AM, CNA K donned gloves,
unfastened Resident #209's brief, placed a packet of wipes on top of Resident #209's bed, and pulled out
wipes. CNA K cleaned Resident #209's front peri area and turned Resident #209 onto her side. CNA K
touched the wipes packet with her dirty gloves and wiped Resident #209's back peri area. CNA K said she
had finished wiping Resident #209. Surveyor intervened and asked CNA K to wipe Resident #209 one
more time. CNA K wiped Resident #209 again and residue of stool was noted on the wipe. CNA K said she
had not completely cleaned Resident #209's back peri area and cleaned her again. CNA K finished
cleaning Resident #209 and using her dirty gloves applied the clean brief and sheet. CNA K with her dirty
gloves put on Resident #209's pants on, removed her dirty gloves, and repositioned Resident #209 and
then performed hand hygiene. CNA K left Resident #209's room, disposed of the trash, and handed the
packet of wipes to a different CNA who took the packet of wipes into another resident's room to provide
care.
During an interview on 10/29/2024 at 6:14 AM, CNA K said hand hygiene should be performed before you
start and then after. CNA K said she only changed her gloves if they were visibly soiled with bowel
movement. CNA K said that was the way she was taught. CNA K said nurse management had not watched
her perform incontinent care or done any teaching with her on providing incontinent care. CNA K said when
performing incontinent care, she used as many wipes as she could, and she thought she had wiped
Resident #209 until she was clean. CNA K said she did not see any residual from the bowel movement on
Resident #209. CNA K said she tried to look at the wipes after wiping to ensure there was no bowel
movement left. CNA K said it was important to ensure the residents were cleaned properly because

they could get any type of infection and urinary tract infections. CNA K said she was not sure how she was
supposed to use the wipes. CNA K said most of the residents had their own packet of wipes in their rooms.
CNA K said when she did orientation with the other CNAs, she watched them take the whole packet of
wipes into the residents' rooms. Then they returned the packet of wipes to the clean linen cart to use it on
other residents, so that's what she did. CNA K said taking the packet of wipes in the residents' rooms,
touching it with dirty gloves, placing it on the residents' beds or bedside tables could cause infection
because bacteria would be transferred. CNA K said a competency check was left at the facility for her to
sign. CNA K said nurse management left it for her to sign, and nobody observed her providing the care
listed on the competency check. CNA K said it was important for her competency check to be adequately
completed so she knew how to correctly provide care to the residents.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 11:27 AM, the DON said during incontinent care the CNAs should be
changing their gloves when moving from dirty to clean and perform hand hygiene in between glove
changes. The DON said the wipes containers were not supposed to be taken in and out of the room. The
DON said prior to entering the resident's room to perform incontinent care the CNAs were supposed to
remove the amount of wipes needed from the wipes container, place them in a bag, and take the bag into
the resident's room. The DON said if the wipes container was taken into the resident's room it should be left
in the room. The DON said she was responsible for monitoring the CNAs to ensure they were performing
proper incontinent care. The DON said she performed random audits and competencies were completed
upon hire and annually. The DON said when performing incontinent care, the CNAs were supposed to wipe
and then look at the wipe and wipe until there was no residue left on the wipes. The DON said she
randomly went to the facility at night and watched the CNAs perform incontinent care and showers. The
DON said not performing proper incontinent care and carrying the wipes from room to room could result in
spread of infection, increased contamination, cross contamination, and placed the residents at risk for
infection and sickness.
During an interview on 11/01/2024 at 12:41 PM, the ADO said he expected the CNAs to follow the policy
and training that they received. He expected for them to change gloves and use the wipes appropriately.
The ADO said when performing incontinent care, the CNAs needed to be sanitary because they did not
want to cross contaminate anything. The ADO said the ADON and DON were nurse management, and they
should be completing competency checks according to the policy and as needed. The ADO said not
performing proper incontinent care placed the residents at risk for skin breakdown, possible infections, and
urinary tract infections.

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 reviews the facility failed to ensure residents could call for staff
assistance through a communication system which relays the call directly to a staff member or to a
centralized staff work area from each resident's bedside for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for the
ability to call for staff assistance.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had a call button.
This failure could place resident at risk for a delay in assistance and decreased quality of life, self-worth,
and dignity.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 10/31/24 indicated Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included seizures, Basal Cell Carcinoma
(the most common form of skin cancer), Contractures of the left hand, and Dementia (memory loss).
Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated 09/20/24, indicated that she was rarely
understood and rarely understood by others. Resident #1 had short and long-term memory problems,
which indicated she was cognitively impaired. Resident #1 required total assistance with toileting, personal
hygiene, transfer, and bathing.
Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan dated 06/20/23 reflected Resident #1 had an
alteration in musculoskeletal status related to contracture in her left hand. The intervention was for staff to
anticipate and meet her needs. Be sure the call light was within reach and respond promptly to all requests
for assistance.
During an observation on 10/28/24 at 11:10 a.m., revealed Resident #1 was in bed with her eyes closed.
No call light was noted on her side of the room in the switch.
During an observation on 10/28/24 at 3:53 p.m., revealed Resident #1 was in bed with her eyes closed. No
call light was noted on her side of the room.
During an observation and interview on 10/28/24 at 4:25 p.m., LVN B said she was the charge nurse for
Resident #1. She looked and said resident #1 does not have a call light. She said she did not know why
Resident #1 did not have a call light. LVN B said Resident #1 could move her right hand and could benefit
from the pushpad call light. She said the risk of not having a call light could be Resident #1 would not get
the help she needed in a timely manner. She said she would get her a push pad call light system.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 11:42 a.m., the ADON said all residents should have a call light and it
should be always within reach. She said failure to not have a call light could lead to resident falls or not
getting the help they need.
During an interview on 11/01/24 at 12:16 p.m., the DON said all staff should be checking on the residents
and ensuring they had a call light within reach. She said she was not aware Resident #1 did
