This survey cited 7 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0645 PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a PASRR screening was completed for residents with a mental disorder or an intellectual disability for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #54) reviewed for PASRR Level I screenings. Residents Affected - Few The facility did not ensure an accurate PASRR level 1 screening (a preliminary assessment completed for all individuals prior to admission to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility to determine whether they might have a mental illness or intellectual disability) was completed for Resident #54. 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. Findings included: Record review of Resident #54's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #54 had diagnoses which included unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition (a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality) and major depressive disorder (mental health disorder having episodes of psychological depression). Record review of Resident #54's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 indicating intact cognition. Record review of Resident #54's PASRR level 1 screening dated 6/7/19 read in part, .Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Mental Illness? The answer was: No. Observation and interview on 1/22/23 at 11:16 a.m. of revealed Resident #54 in her bed. She said she received help from the staff when needed. She said she would be discharging from the facility in the next two weeks. In an interview on 1/23/23 at 2:56 p.m. the MDS Coordinator said the previous social worker deactivated Resident #54's previous PASRR level 1 screening (dated 5/31/19) when she went to the hospital. The previous screening was positive and marked yes for mental illness. She said she completed a new screening on 6/6/19 but must have miskeyed no for mental illness. She said Resident #54 had a mental illness diagnosis of manic depressive and psychosis with no dementia. She said if mental illness was marked as yes PASRR would come and evaluate the resident to see if she qualified for specialized services. She said residents with IDD and DD were the ones who normally received PASRR services and did not believe there was a risk for Resident #54. She said she and medical records staff were (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0645 responsible for the accuracy of PASRR screenings. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm In an interview on 1/23/23 at 3:33 p.m. the Administrator said the MDS nurse was the person responsible for ensuring the accuracy of PASRR screenings. He said the purpose of the screening was to identify individuals who needed to receive services they could benefit from. He said he was unsure if there was a process to monitor for accuracy of the screenings. Residents Affected - Few Record review of the facility's admission Criteria policy dated 3/2019 read in part, .our facility admits only resident whose medical and nursing care needs can be met . 9. All new admissions and readmission are screened for mental disorders, intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process. A. the facility conducts a level I PASARR screen for all potential admissions, regardless of payer source, to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a mental disorder, ID, or related disorder, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the Level II (evaluation and determination) screening process.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 ensure comprehensive care plans were reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each assessment, which included both the comprehensive and quarterly review assessments for 1 of 18 residents (Resident's #15) reviewed for care plan timing and revision. The facility failed to ensure Resident #15's care plan included her visual function, communication and dental care triggered on her admission MDS assessment dated [DATE]. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving needed care. Findings include: Record review of Resident #15's admission face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included, unspecified dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities) without behavioral, anxiety, Aphasia (a disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language) hypertension (High blood pressure) and chronic kidney disease Record review of Resident #15's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS of 00, which indicated her cognition was severely impaired. Section B (Vision) of the MDS indicated she was impaired which indicated she could only see large print. Section B-600 revealed her speech pattern was unclear. Ability to understand others and be understood was coded as usually understood. Section L dental was coded having obvious or likely cavity or broken natural teeth. Record review of Section V for CAAS of the MDS revealed vision, communication, and dental were triggered. Record review of Resident #15's care plan, with a revision date of 01/19/23, revealed her care plan did not address her vision, communication and dental. Observation on 01/22/23 at 9:00 a.m., revealed Resident #15 was in bed and was not interviewable. In an interview with the MDS Coordinator on 01/24/23 at 1:00 p.m., she said she was responsible for completing the MDS by reviewing all data from all disciplines. She said she also visited each resident to interview and assessed them prior to completing the assessment and care plan. She said the care plan was the responsibility of all nursing personnel and social work. During an interview with the facility Social Worker on 01/24/23 at 3:00 p.m., she said she assessed residents on section B (Hearing, speech, and vision), C (Cognitive patterns), D (Mood), E (Behavior) & Q (Participation in assessment and goal setting) and gave the results of her assessment to her supervisor to complect. An attempt was made to interview the MDS Coordinator's Supervisor by phone and was unsuccessful.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few plans were the responsibility of all nursing staff. She said all nursing staff should be updating their resident's care plan as new development arose on a regular basis because if the care plans were not updated, residents may not get the care and treatment needed to improve their health. Record review of the facility's policy for care plans, dated 2001, revised September 2013, read in part-policy statement: Our facility's care planning /interdisciplinary team is responsible for the development of an individualized comprehensive care plan for each resident. The Mechanics of how the interdisciplinary team meets its responsibilities in the development of the interdisciplinary car plan (e.g. face to face, teleconference, written communication etc.) is at the direction of the care planning committee.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte balance, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrated that it was not possible or resident preferences indicated otherwise for 10 of 86 residents (Resident #56, #7, #44, #59, #18, #23, #72, #5, #14, and #45) reviewed for weight loss. Residents Affected - Some 1. The facility failed to obtain accurate monthly weights for Resident #56. 2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #56 had appropriate interventions in place to prevent a severe weight loss of 39.3 % from 10/10/22 to 1/17/23. 3. The facility failed to obtain accurate monthly weights for residents from October 2022 to January 2023. The facility identified 10 (Residents #56, #7, #44, #59, #18, #23, #72, #5, #14, and #45) of 86 residents sustained significant and/or severe weight loss when an accurate weight was obtained by facility staff in January 2023. The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance (PNC). The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) began on 1/18/23 to 1/20/23. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. These failures could place residents at risk of severe weight loss, delayed interventions, hospitalization, worsening health condition, and death. Findings include: Record review of Resident #56's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #56 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's disease, unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition (1/21/21), vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia (11/16/21), anorexia (an eating disorder characterized by relentless drive for thinness with a fear of gaining body weight associated with self-induced behaviors towards thinness), weakness (12/2/20), vascular Parkinsonism (a disorder that affects muscle movement), and hospice care. Record review of Resident #56's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/8/22, revealed a BIMS score of 0 out of 15, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. She required extensive assistance of one person for eating. The assessment indicated no symptoms of poor appetite and no weight loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more in the last 6 months. Record review of Resident #56's care plan, revised on 1/22/23, revealed she had a potential for nutritional problem related to inadequate meal intake. Interventions were to have the RD (registered dietitian) evaluate and make diet change recommendations PRN and weigh and record: monthly and PRN.

F 0692 12/2022: no weight recorded Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 1/17/23: 65.2 pounds Residents Affected - Some Record review of Resident #56's nutritional assessment, dated 2/28/22, written by the RD revealed a weight of 115.7 pounds and a BMI of 29 (normal BMI range was 23 - 30). Resident #56 was reviewed for her annual assessment. The RD documented the resident was readmitted to hospice. There was no significant weight loss but some weight loss with overall decline was expected with hospice and diagnosis. There was a calculated weight loss of 39.3% over 3 months. Record review of Resident #56's hospital record, dated 9/2/22, revealed a weight of 85 pounds. Record review of Resident #56's multidisciplinary care conference, dated 12/12/22, revealed the resident's appetite was fair. Her oral intake was 25-50%. Her weight was recorded at 107.5 pounds (from October 2022). There were no issues at the time. Patient was on hospice services. Record review of the facility's nutrition recommendations from August 2022 - January 10, 2023, revealed no dietary recommendations were made for Resident #56. Record Review of Resident #56 Hospice Records dated 1/2/23 revealed Resident gargling when she drinks water and unable to tolerate but able to eat regular food. HN recommended to change thin liquid to thickened liquid and was approved. Resident appears to be weak and frail and sleeps +12 hours a day. Record review of Resident #56's nutrition/dietary note, dated 1/18/23, written by the RD read in part, .CBW (current body weight) is at 65.2 pounds, -39.3% in 90 days, -40.8% in 180 days. BMI is below favorable for age at 16.3. Noted facility recently had scale recalibrations. Resident also on hospice care at this time . weekly weights ordered to monitor and re-establish baseline. Resident is on a regular, mildly thick liquid diet and has PO intake average at less than 50% but varies with sometimes increased intake. No recent labs, noted hospice. Resident with sacral and hip wounds being followed by wound care. Weight loss with overall decline is expected with hospice. Recommend magic cup TID with meals. Recommend increase 2.0 supplement to 60 cc TID related to weight loss. Recommend snacks of preference as desired. Goal is for resident to enjoy meals and supplements for comfort care. RD will continue following this resident Record Review of Resident #56 laboratory results dated [DATE] revealed resident's pre-albumin level was 7.2 mg/dL (normal range 17.0 - 34.0) and her albumin level was 2.5 mg/dL (normal range: 3.5-5.7). (The prealbumin blood test helps determine if you ' re getting enough nutrients -- namely, protein -- in your diet. Albumin is a protein in the blood plasma.) Record review of Resident #56's arm body mass measurements summary measured by hospice revealed (upper-arm circumference roughly correlates with BMI in the average person.

He said the facility noticed significant discrepancies in the weight logs and submitted a self-report to the state survey agency. He said the weight logs reflected some residents were repetitively documented as weighing the same every month. He said approximately 34 residents were identified with weight changes in January, all were reweighed, and would be weighed every Thursday for the next 4 weeks. He said the identified concern was taken to quality assurance, in-services were done, and the RD was consulted. In an interview on 1/22/23 at 3:22 p.m., the Corporate Nurse said it appeared the previous staff responsible for weights were making up weights. He said a QAPI was done, and the facility was aggressively working to turn it around. He said both persons involved were terminated. In an interview on 1/23/23 at 1:18 p.m., the RD said the DON and Administrator notified her of a weight discrepancy this month when they had someone else weigh the residents. She said she did an intervention for approximately 35 residents who had significant weight loss and said some residents needed more supplements than others. She said Resident #56's weight loss was not seen or documented (prior to the discovery). She said the resident was on hospice services but made recommendations for hospice residents the same way as non-hospice residents. She said she did not want the resident to starve to death and her meal intake flexed up and down. She said, prior to the facility becoming aware of the weight discrepancy in January 2023, she did not assess Resident #56 and said there were no dietary recommendations for the resident between August 2022 and January 2023 because the resident did not flag for weight loss. The last Nutrition assessment was completed on 2/28/22. The RD said she only assessed residents for weight or nutritional needs if there was a referral from the facility based off a trigger of significant weight gain or loss. She said skin issues and abnormal laboratory values could be a negative outcome of the untreated weight loss. She said the dietitians came to the facility three times a month and reviewed admissions, readmissions, annuals, weight loss, dialysis, pressure wounds, tube feedings, and any consults. She said residents were reviewed annually if there was no weight loss identified. She said the review consisted of interpreting the BMI, identifying weight goals, diet order, preferences, reviewing supplements, laboratory values, skin for pressure (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675538 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 19 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675538 B.

F 0692 wounds, and nutritional needs. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety In an interview on 1/24/23 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator said he terminated the previous ADON on 1/3/23 due to integrity issues. He said they noticed a big discrepancy with actual weights and recorded weights. He said as they reviewed the weight logs, they noticed the previous RA was the one consistently entering the weights. He said the previous staffing coordinator weighed most of the residents and asked other CNAs to give her weights. He said during their QAPI meetings prior to the discovery, there were no alarms of weight loss. The previous ADON and previous RA were responsible for accuracy of weights. He said the previous ADON was the analyzer and should have been reviewing dietitian recommendations, physician notes, and overseeing the weight system. He said Resident #56 currently weighed 65 pounds. He said the wound care nurse conducted a head-to-toe assessment of the resident and said she did not have any new pressure ulcers but did have excoriation (damage or remove part of the surface of the skin). Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 1/24/23 at 1:27 p.m., the RD said it was normal for hospice resident's dietary plans to be reviewed only annually. It would be reviewed more if there were concerns noted. She said, at the time, there were no concerns noted for Resident #56. In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:07 p.m., the DON said she began employment with the facility in September 2022. She said the previous ADON was responsible for obtaining the weight data from the floors and ensuring the data was entered into PCC. She said she became suspicious of the weights in January 2023 because there was a delay in obtaining the weights of newly admitted residents, in addition to other concerns. She assigned a new team to obtain resident weights and noticed discrepancies in previously documented weights and current weights. She said upon review of previous weights they found several resident weights did not fluctuate more than 0.1 to 0.3 pounds in a 2-year period. She said in her professional opinion those were not realistic weight fluctuations. The DON said prior to December 2022, no one identified any weight changes, and no one reported changes in condition related to skin turgor, change in overall appearance, dehydration, lethargy, decrease activity, or skin impairment to her. During the QAPI meetings no issues were reported with the weights. She said she acknowledged there was a weight loss in some residents but questioned a lot of the weights. She said on 1/18/23 it was discovered Resident #56 had severe weight loss. She said Resident #56 was on hospice care and had a progressive decline in her ADLs and ability to mobilize. She said she had a history of not eating a lot and her family brought in food from home that she liked. She said she consulted with the MD and families and did not think any of the residents were harmed due to the unidentified weight loss. She said she would need to speak with Resident #56's MD about her decline to determine if it was a progression of her illness. In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:15 p.m., the Corporate Nurse said the MDs and families did not report any concerns regarding weight loss. He said he spoke with the previous Staffing Coordinator and was informed she weighed over half of the residents. He said he could not confirm the integrity of the weights. In an interview on 1/24/23 at 3:17 p.m., the RD said the staff reported meal intake issues to her. She said Resident #56's dietary recommendations would depend on her nutritional needs. She would recommend fortified meals if the resident was still eating and then after that supplements, ice cream, and med pass 2.0. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 10:47 a.m., the NP said she recently started seeing Resident #56. She said the resident was on hospice care due to dementia and did not want to do aggressive measures (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675538 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 19 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675538 B.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some such as inserting a PEG tube. She said she expected the resident to decline with normal process. She said she referenced the monthly weight to ensure the resident was not losing too much weight. She said a significant weight loss or a drop of 40 pounds in a month would raise red flags. She said she would do a dietary consultation and if the RD made recommendations, they would get approval from hospice. She said she would also try Remeron (an appetite stimulant) if hospice approved. She said she would recommend these interventions to prevent the resident from losing too much weight but if hospice did not think it was appropriate, they would not implement it. She said with residents on hospice you want to ensure the quality of life but not prolong life. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 11:33 a.m., Resident #56's RP said the family noticed the resident was losing weight but could not tell how much. He said the resident lost more weight than he expected and said he was shocked to learn how much. He said the resident's normal weight was 115 pounds, but the facility recently informed him she weighed 75 pounds. He said the resident was put on hospice care because he and his family member were unable to see the resident during COVID-19 and the facility nurse said if the resident was put on Hospice care another nurse would come in and make her comfortable. He said he and his family member made a plan to encourage the resident to eat more because she slept so much and would gradually eat less and less. He said around the start of COVID-19, she lost a lot of weight but was still responsive and could walk around. He said the facility did not say what they would do to help with her appetite. He said when he was at the facility, he tried to assist her with meals and notified the CNAs when she would not eat well. He said they informed him they would try to get her to eat later. He said the resident got weaker and every time she walked around, she would fall and go to the hospital. He said he wanted the resident on physical therapy to walk and move around again so he removed her from hospice, but when she plateaued in therapy the facility convinced him to place her back on hospice. He said she had not been able to get out of bed very often because of unsteadiness. He said he had a care plan meeting in the past to discuss her diet preferences, such as no bones in her chicken and no spicy foods, but they did not discuss her specific dietary requirements. He said last Wednesday, 1/18/23, the facility changed her diet to a higher calorie, soft food diet which the resident took to very readily. He said she took everything on her plate on Friday, 1/20/23 but was unable to wake her to eat on Monday 1/23/23. He said she used to be able to feed herself and would eat the regular diet. He said he expressed to the facility there must be a high calorie diet that would help her eat, because the amount she was eating was small. He said he informed the facility that whatever they could do to help with her nutrition would be great. He said the hospice agency did not specifically say the resident would progressively lose weight. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 12:06 p.m., CNA A said she noticed Resident #56 lost weight and reported it to LVN A. She said the resident did not eat too much. She said last month the resident ate approximately 75% of a meal she assisted her with. She said she noticed the resident did not eat by herself but previously did not like when people fed her. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 12:29 p.m., LVN A said she noticed a few residents lost weight on her hallway not too long ago, which included Resident #56. She said she normally reported weight loss concerns to the resident's hospice nurse. She said Resident #56 was always fatigued and would refuse everything with feeding. She said her meal intake was around 25% but she liked to drink. She said her weight loss was obvious when the staff got her up to weigh her last week. She said she did not know who weighed the residents prior to January 2023. She said the RP would come to ensure she got enough food. She said the resident was on med pass 2.0 and the hospice nurse started her on Sucralfate. She said she was supposed to report weight concerns to the facility doctor and the hospice nurse, and they would schedule blood work and send it to the doctor.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some sure when to notify the RD. She said she reported Resident #56's weight concerns to the previous ADON and was informed to notify hospice and the resident's doctor. She said the previous ADON did not say anything about informing the RD. She said the RD monitored the food the residents ate and monitored the weight. Based on the weights they could tell if the patient was going up or down. She said the CNAs would report Resident #56's appetite changes to her. She said she reviewed Resident #56's weight and noticed the weight was previously around 100 and now it went down to 67. She said she knew the resident was losing weight based on her intake but never questioned the weights in the system because they looked right. She questioned the amount of weight she lost because it was a lot. She said she was recently in serviced on reporting weight concerns to the RD and conducting an assessment when there was a decline. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #56's Hospice Nurse said she assessed Resident #56 for the last 2 years. She said in the last 3-4 months Resident #56 had a decline in appetite and weight loss. The Hospice Nurse said the resident declined food and had low food intake. The Hospice Nurse determined the resident had a decline in body mass based off the mid-upper arm circumference body mass checked every 2 weeks during hospice visits. She said she received weight updates from various CNAs and nurses when she visited the resident. The last weight recording the Hospice Nurse recalled was approximately 97 pounds from the resident's recent hospital visit (exact date unknown). In an interview on 1/25/23 at 4:09 p.m., the DON said she was not previously aware of any weight changes for Resident #56. She said the Hospice Nurse, previous ADON, and charge nurses did not report any information about Resident #56's weight or appetite changes to her. She said if she was aware of the weight or intake changes, she would have notified the physician and obtained appropriate referrals such as for the RD. In an interview on 1/26/23 at 9:31 a.m., the previous ADON said she never weighed residents or documented weights. She said she only followed up on any recommendations from the RD if the RD saw weight loss or weight changes and if she wanted supplements or adjustments made. She said any CNA on the hall did the weights then gave those weights to the previous Staffing Coordinator. In an interview on 1/26/23 at 10:00 a.m., the previous Staffing Coordinator said the facility told her she falsified resident weights. She said she documented weights in the system when the CNAs gave them to her. She said she did weigh some residents and a lot of their weights changed. She said she recorded weekly weights in a binder but corporate was destroying papers in her old office when she was suspended. She said the scales were not calibrated and there was always an issue with the Hoyer lift scales jumping up and down. She said the last time she weighed Resident #56 was in November because the RD said she did not have to weight hospice residents. In an interview on 1/26/23 at 11:12 a.m., the DON said because of the internal audit, weights would be obtained on admission, the day after, and weekly for 4 weeks. She said she would review the weights and look at consistency in weighing procedures (i.e. hoyer lift, wheelchair scale, and same time of day). She said the DON, Administrator, or designee would be responsible for weekly spot checks of weights on each hall. She said they would select a resident and verify their weight with another person. In an interview on 1/26/23 at 11:24 a.m., the DON said the previous Staffing Coordinator was not the only person weighing residents but was the person who made sure the weights were done and entered in the system. She said the previous Staffing Coordinator worked with different CNAs to obtain weights.

The facility failed to ensure LVN E administered Lorazepam (an antianxiety medication) to Resident #31 every 12 hours (twice per day) per physician's order and instead administered the medication three times per day. The facility failed to ensure LVN E administered Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (a controlled medication used to treat moderate to severe pain) to Resident #29 every 4 hours, as ordered by the physician, and instead administered the medication every 2 hours. The facility failed to ensure LVN E signed Resident #67's' Alprazolam controlled drug inventory sheet timely. These failures could place residents at risk of medication error and drug diversion. Findings include: Resident #31 Record review of Resident #31's face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old female who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #31 had diagnoses which included Alzheimer's disease (a progressive neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells to die), anxiety disorder (the mind and body's reaction to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations), paranoid schizophrenia (subtype of schizophrenia), major depressive disorder (mental health disorder having episodes of psychological depression), and cognitive communication deficit. Record review of Resident #31's annual MDS assessment, dated 12/7/22, revealed a BIMS score of 0 out of 15, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Record review of Resident #31's, undated, care plan revealed she used an anti-anxiety medication related to anxiety disorder. The interventions were to administer anti-anxiety medication as ordered by the physician and monitor for side effects and effectiveness.

She said LVN E informed her she looked at Resident #31's order and thought it was more frequent than scheduled. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 3:40 p.m., LVN E said Resident #31's Lorazepam order was completed on 12/6/22. She said the order was not active and she was not the only one who administered it after the completion date. She said the medication was still on the cart but should have been removed and handed to the DON to prevent a medication error. She said she pulled the medication from the cart and administered it to Resident #31. After administration she checked the computer, but the order was not there. She said she administered the Lorazepam three times a day (on 12/10/22) because she thought it was scheduled for three times a day. She checked the directions on the medication blister pack if she did not have access to the MAR. She said she called the pharmacy and they informed her no one should have administered it after 12/6/22. She said she assumed the medication error but was tired from working nearly 24 hours. She said no one assessed the resident or notified the MD. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 4:09 p.m., the DON said once the medication was discontinued it should be removed from the cart to prevent diversion and administration. She said nurses should not give a medication that was not on the MAR because they would not know the correct dose. She said medication should not be administered without a physician's order because the order guides the practice and nurses could not determine what to give. She said the controlled drug inventory sheet was used for inventory and the eMAR documented administration. Observation on 1/26/23 at 1:57 p.m. of Resident #31 revealed she was in her room lying in bed. She was not interviewable.

In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:18 p.m., the DON said when administering a medication, nursing staff should pull up the eMar and check for time and frequency. She said not following the physician's order could run the risk of under medicating or over medicating the resident which could cause harm. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:26 p.m., the Corporate RN said LVN E gave Resident #29 one too many tablets. In an interview on 1/25/23 at 2:40 p.m., LVN E said she thought the documentation in Resident #29's MAR matched the documentation in the controlled drug record sheet for the Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen.
