Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to implement written policies and procedures that
prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation of residents for 1 (CNA I) of 12 staff reviewed for
abuse policies.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not implement the training /orientation of CNA I related to abuse, neglect, and exploitation
per facility policy.
This failure could place residents in the facility at risk of Abuse, Neglect, or Exploitation.
Findings included:
Record Review of CNA I's employee file revealed she was hired on 03/01/24 and her Abuse, Neglect, or
Exploitation Training took place on 03/28/24.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 3:11 PM, ADM stated he hired this CNA after she had worked for the
facility as agency staff. ADM stated he needed CNAs so badly that he allowed her to work and do trainings
after she was hired.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 3:37 PM, ADM stated that a possible negative outcome for not having
staff trained about Abuse and Neglect would be that they would not be prepared for issues that could arise.
He stated he made a judgment call to hire this CNA without proper training, and it was his mistake.
Record review of the facility provided New Hire Instructions page included the following:
.New Hire MUST complete the following BEFORE floor work:
[Brand name of electronic program] Training
And after all training is complete - then they are added to the schedule for orientation.
Record Review of the facility provided policy titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Prevention Program not
dated, revealed the following:

observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for 1 (Resident #35) of 12 residents reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to implement Resident #35's care plan for a chair alarm in his w/c and 1:1 monitoring, and
he had an unwitnessed fall which resulted in a broken left hip.
This failure could place residents at risk of injury due to falls.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #35's admission record dated 05/30/24 revealed an [AGE] year-old male
originally admitted to the facility 03/29/23 with a most recent admission date of 05/29/24. He had diagnoses
that included, but were not limited to, infection following a procedure, fracture of neck of right femur (right
hip), dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), impulse
disorder (lack of ability to control self), wandering, and Alzheimer's (a progressive disease that destroys
memory and other important mental functions).

substantial assistance with other mobility ADLs.
Section J of the MDS indicated Resident #35 had had major surgery to repair a fracture as well as another
major surgery.
Section P of the MDS revealed bed and chair alarms were used daily.
Record review of Resident #35's care plan completed on 05/29/24 revealed a focus area of fall risk due to
impaired mobility, cognitive deficits and weakness. Interventions were as follows:
03/18/24 used a mobility monitor on his w/c for safety.
03/14/24 have increased assistance, surveillance, activities involvement, a mobility alarm, and be placed
near the nurses' station.
03/14/24 1:1 monitoring, and or activities to maintain (his) safety and to divert (his) attention away from
attempting to stand/ambulate without supervision/assistance.
Record review of Resident #35's active orders dated 05/30/24 revealed the following:
An order for admission to skilled service related to hip fracture dated 03/13/24.

During an interview on 05/29/24 at 07:19 AM ADM stated Resident #35 had just been transitioned from a
geri chair to a w/c before the fall on 05/20/24 when he broke his left hip.
During an observation and interview on 05/29/24 at 09:12 AM, AD stated she found Resident #35 wheeling
himself in his w/c in the lobby on 05/20/24. She said she asked him if he wanted a haircut, and he said yes.
At that point she wheeled him back to the salon and cut his hair. She stated he was strolling out (here she
made motions with both hands as if she was spinning the wheels of a wheelchair). AD stated Resident #35
was moving along just fine so she started sweeping up in the salon. She said she heard him say help, help
and she peeked around the corner of the salon doorway and could not see him, so she walked around the
corner into the hallway and saw him on the floor. AD stated she did not see how he fell or what happened
just that he was on the floor. She asked her activity aide to get a nurse.
During an interview on 05/29/24 at 09:41 AM, LVN C stated on 05/20/24 she saw therapy working with
Resident #35 on walking and later when he was in his w/c she saw him paddling his feet as if he was
walking. LVN C stated when she was sitting at the nurses' station facing the lobby, she heard someone
make a moaning sound twice. She said she turned to someone sitting next to her and they discussed the
sound but did not know where it came from. LVN C stated staff said, [First name of Resident #35]'s on the
floor, [First name of Resident #35]'s on the floor! She then got up from the nurses' station and assessed
Resident #35. She stated he was lying on his right side on the incision from his prior hip surgery when she
found him, and his w/c was next to him. LVN C said Resident #35 complained of pain in his back at the time
she was assessing him. She stated when the ambulance arrived and the EMTs were assessing him, he told
them his left arm hurt and they removed his shirt and found a skin tear on his left elbow.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 09:58 AM, Resident #35's family member stated she had some concern
that he had fallen twice in three months and broken both of his hips. She stated the first fall she could
understand as he walked all the time without the aid of a cane or walker, and he had trouble seeing out of
his left eye. She stated she could see how his constant walking and trouble seeing combined with his
Alzheimer's diagnosis might have contributed to a fall. She stated when the second fall happened the chair
alarm that was to be in use to help prevent another fall was not in use. She stated two staff members, LVN
C and DON, told her during two different phone conversations that the chair alarm was not in use because
they were too busy to put it in (his w/c). Resident #35's family member stated neither staff member
elaborated on what they were busy doing. She said LVN C told her Resident #35 had just been working
with therapy and staff did not have time to put the alarm in his w/c before he fell.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 10:34 AM, DON stated Resident #35 was supposed to have a mobility
alarm in his w/c when he fell but therapy had just taken him out of the geri chair to work with him in the w/c
and then staff got him for a haircut and were with him. The alarm was in his geri chair and we had not
moved it over to the w/c because he was with somebody the whole time.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 10:40 AM, AD stated she did not remember if any staff person was with
Resident #35 when she found him in the lobby and asked him if he wanted a haircut. She stated she did not
know Resident #35 needed to have an alarm in his w/c.
During an interview and observation on 05/30/24, AD pointed out the door of the salon, the 20 to 30-foot
hallway to the corner, and the spot around the corner where she found Resident #35 on the floor after
hearing him moaning.

During an interview on 05/30/24 at 02:02 PM, ADM and DON stated 1:1 meant a resident would receive
individual attention during a specific time from a staff member. DON stated no residents in the facility
required 1:1 monitoring all the time and the facility did not have enough staff to provide that type of
monitoring.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:31 PM, ADM and DON stated the 1:1 monitoring mentioned in
Resident #35's care plan meant if he was attempting to ambulate or stand we will give the resident
assistance and when he was stable and settled, they would stop the 1:1 monitoring.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:28 PM, MDS RN stated she was responsible for writing care plans.
She said a care plan was instructions on how to care for a resident and if they are not followed that is not
gonna be good. MDS RN stated the 1:1 monitoring mentioned in Resident #35's care meant, If he is trying
to get up staff will intervene and keep him from getting up and stay with him until he is settled.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:37 PM, DON stated if a resident's care plan was not followed it would
be detrimental for the resident.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:39 PM, LVN H stated if a resident is care planned for a mobility alarm
in their w/c it should be put on immediately. She stated if the alarm was not used the resident could get
hurt.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:50 PM, ADM stated there could be a negative outcome if a resident's
care plan is not followed. He stated in the case of Resident #35's chair alarm, I don't think the alarm would
have helped him from falling, it would have alerted us to the fall.
Record review of undated facility policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revealed the
following: . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and
timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and
implemented for each resident.
Record review of undated facility policy titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing revealed the following: . Based on
previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific
risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.
8. Position change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather will
be used to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident The use of alarms will be
monitored for efficacy and staff will respond to alarms in a timely manner.

During an interview on 05/29/24 at 09:41 AM LVN C stated on 05/20/24 she saw therapy working with
Resident #35 on walking and later when he was in his w/c she saw him paddling his feet as if he was
walking. LVN C stated when she was sitting at the nurses' station facing the lobby, [Resident #35's fall
happened at the end of the hall behind LVN C, if she was facing the lobby] she heard someone make a
moaning sound twice. She said she turned to a staff member sitting next to her and they discussed the
sound but did not know where it came from. LVN C stated a different staff said, [First name of Resident
#35]'s on the floor, [First name of Resident #35]'s on the floor! She then got up from the nurses' station and
assessed Resident #35. She stated he was lying on his right side on the incision from his prior hip surgery
when she found him, and his w/c was next to him. LVN C said Resident #35 complained of pain in his back
at the time she was assessing him. She stated when the ambulance arrived and the EMTs were assessing
him, he told them his left arm hurt and they removed his shirt and found a skin tear on his left elbow.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 09:58 AM Resident #35's family member stated she had some concern
that he had fallen twice in three months and broken both of his hips. She stated the first fall she could
understand as he walked all the time without the aid of a cane or walker, and he had trouble seeing out of
his left eye. She stated she could see how his constant walking and trouble seeing combined with his
Alzheimer's diagnosis might have contributed to a fall. She stated when the second fall happened the chair
alarm that was to be in use to help prevent another fall was not in use. She stated two staff members, LVN
C and DON, told her during two different phone conversations that the chair alarm was not in use because
they were too busy to put it in (his w/c). Resident #35's family member stated neither staff member
elaborated on what they were busy doing. She said LVN C told her Resident #35 had just been working
with therapy and staff did not have time to put the alarm in his w/c before he fell.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 10:34 AM DON stated Resident #35 was supposed to have a mobility
alarm in his w/c when he fell but therapy had just taken him out of the geri chair to work with him in the w/c
and then staff got him for a haircut and were with him. The alarm was in his geri chair and we had not
moved it over to the w/c because he was with somebody the whole time.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 10:40 AM AD stated she did not remember if any staff person was with
Resident #35 when she found him in the lobby and asked him if he wanted a haircut. She stated she did not
know Resident #35 needed to have an alarm in his w/c.

During an interview and observation on 05/30/24 AD pointed out the door of the salon, the 20 to 30-foot
hallway to the corner, and the spot around the corner where she found Resident #35 on the floor after
hearing him moaning.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 02:02 PM ADM and DON stated 1:1 meant a resident would receive
individual attention during a specific time from a staff member. DON stated no residents in the facility
required 1:1 monitoring all the time and the facility did not have enough staff to provide that type of
monitoring.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:28 PM MDS RN stated a care plan was instructions on how to care
for a resident and if they are not followed that is not gonna be good. MDS RN stated the 1:1 monitoring
mentioned in Resident #35's care meant, If he is trying to get up staff will intervene and keep him from
getting up and stay with him until he is settled.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:31 PM ADM and DON stated the 1:1 monitoring mentioned in
Resident #35's care plan meant if he was attempting to ambulate or stand we will give the resident
assistance and when he was stable and settled, they would stop the 1:1 monitoring.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:37 PM DON stated if a resident's care plan was not followed it would
be detrimental for the resident.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:39 PM LVN H stated if a resident is care planned for a mobility alarm
in their w/c it should be put on immediately. She stated if the alarm was not used the resident could get
hurt.
During an interview on 05/30/24 at 03:50 PM ADM stated there could be a negative outcome if a resident's
care plan is not followed. He stated in the case of Resident #35's chair alarm, I don't think the alarm would
have helped him from falling, it would have alerted us to the fall.
Record review of undated facility policy titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revealed the
following: . A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and
timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and
implemented for each resident.
Record review of undated facility policy titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing revealed the following: . Based on
previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific
risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.
8. Position change alarms will not be used as the primary or sole intervention to prevent falls, but rather will
be used to assist the staff in identifying patterns and routines of the resident The use of alarms will be
monitored for efficacy and staff will respond to alarms in a timely manner.

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**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 is fed by enteral means
receives the appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding including but
not limited to aspiration pneumonia, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, metabolic abnormalities, and
nasal-pharyngeal ulcers for 1 (Resident #91) of 1 residents reviewed for tube feeding.
The facility failed to check for PEG tube placement before administering medication (Cephalexin) via the
tube for Resident #91.
This failure could place resident at risk of aspiration, bleeding, or perforation, pneumonia, and even death.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #91's admission record dated 05/30/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included but were not limited to cerebral infarction due to
embolism (stroke due to blood clot), dysphagia following cerebral infarction (difficulty in swallowing following
stroke), epilepsy (disorder that causes seizures or unusual sensations and behaviors), pneumonitis due to
inhalation of food and vomit (inflammation of lung tissue), aspiration of fluid (breathing fluid into the lungs),
and acquired absence of part of stomach.
Record review of Resident #91's quarterly MDS completed on 03/26/24 revealed the following:
Section C revealed a BIMS of 3 which indicated severely impaired cognition.
Section GG noted eating was not attempted due to medical condition or safety concerns.

total calories and 500 cc/day or less of fluid through the tube.
Record review of Resident #91's care plan completed 05/02/24 revealed a focus area of risk for aspiration
r/t feeding tube initiated on 02/27/24. One intervention for this focus area was to ensure proper tube
placement prior to beginning feeding. A second focus area initiated on 08/10/24 addressed the requirement
for tube feeding r/t dysphagia. One intervention for this focus area was to ensure placement of the tube by
marking the length of the tube. A second intervention for this focus area addressed Resident #91's
medications being crushed and administered through his PEG tube. A third intervention for this focus area
referred the reader to the previous risk for aspiration focus area.
Record review of Resident #91's active order summary dated 05/29/24 revealed the following:
An order for Cephalexin to be given via PEG tube four times a day related to aspiration of fluid with a start
date of 05/24/24.

significant medication errors for one of 1 (Resident #20) 12 residents reviewed for medication
administration.
Residents Affected - Few
-LVN C was attempting to administer Resident #20's expired insulin. Resident #20's insulin did not have an
open date on the vial; therefore it could not be determined if insulin was expired.
This failure could place residents who receive insulin medications at an increased risk for complications
such as increased blood glucose levels, change in cognition, and an exacerbation of symptoms and
disease process.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #20's face sheet, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #20 as a [AGE] year-old
female who was admitted into the facility on [DATE]. Resident #20 had the following diagnosis: Cerebral
infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of left middle cerebral artery. Type 2 diabetes mellitus
without complication, Essential (Primary)Hypertension, cognitive communication deficit, muscle weakness
(Generalized), major depressive disorder, recurrent, unspecified.
Record review of Resident #20's current MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #20 had a BIMS of 07,
which indicates that Resident 20 is severely impaired when it comes to cognitive function. Resident #20's
functional ability revealed that Resident #20 is dependent upon staff for most ADLs except for eating.
Record review of Resident #20's care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #20 was care planned for her
Diabetes mellitus. Interventions read that Diabetes medication as ordered by doctor. Monitor/document side
effects and effectiveness.
Record review of Resident #20's physician orders, dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #20 has an order
for the following insulins:

surveyor before medication was administered. LVN C was asked to review the expiration and open date on
the insulin. LVN C stated that she could not find the open date on the insulin. LVN C was asked if the
medication should be given since the open date is nowhere to be found. LVN C stated she would go and
take it to the DON. LVN C was asked if the insulin had been given today, LVN C stated that it had been
given.
Interview on [DATE] at 11:49 AM with LVN C stated that giving a medication that is expired would not be
effective for the resident.
Interview on [DATE] at 10:05 AM with DON stated that the negative outcome of giving an expired insulin

during incontinent care would be there would be a chance of increased risk of cross contamination.
Interview on 05/28/24 at AM with CNA F revealed that a negative outcome for not performing HH between
assisting residents to eat would be the spread of germs from one resident to another.
Observation on 05/29/24 at 9:52 AM revealed LVN C who performed wound care on Resident #5. There
was no dressing on the wound when Resident #5 was turned to her right side. LVN C cleaned the wound

Interview on 05/30/24 at 10:03 AM with DON revealed that a negative outcome for not performing HH and
glove changes during incontinent care, HH during mealtime assistance, and HH and glove changes during
wound care for residents could all lead to the increased risk for the spread of infection. DON revealed that
not donning PPE during a PEG tubed medication administration could also lead to the spread of infection.
Interview on 05/31/24 at 10:02 AM with LVN C revealed that LVN C was not aware that she needed to don
PPE during a PEG tube medication administration. LVN C stated when she was asked what a negative
