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
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for
each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing,
and mental and psychosocial needs and describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or
maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for one resident
(Resident #1) out of four residents reviewed for the development of the comprehensive care plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had a comprehensive person-centered care plan completed to
reflect Resident #1's care needs for Catheter, Diabetes, Oxygen therapy, medications (antibiotics ,
anti-hypertensive, anticoagulant), and Cognition.
This deficient practice places the resident at risk for not receiving the necessary and appropriate care.
Findings included:
Review of Resident # 1's face sheet dated 05/18/2025 reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses that included: Autistic disorder (is a developmental disorder that affects communication,
behavior and social interaction, with symptoms typically appearing in early childhood), Hypertension (HTN High blood pressure), Urinary retention, history of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI -occurs when bacteria get in
the urinary system, often through the urethra, and begin to multiply in the bladder), Diabetes Mellitus type II
(a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels).
Resident #1's admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated he had a BIMS score of not conducted indicating
severe cognitive impairment. Staff assessment of Mental Status reflected Resident #1 has short-term and
long-term memory problems. Section H- Bladder and Bowel reflected Resident #1 had an indwelling
catheter. Section I- Active Diagnoses reflected Resident #1 had Diabetes Mellitus. Section N Medication
reflected Resident #1 took an anticoagulant medication. Section O-Special Treatments, procedures and
Program reflected Resident #1 was on oxygen therapy.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan initiated 04/14/2025 reflected only Resident #1's dietary needs were
addressed and there was no plan of care for catheter, DM, Oxygen therapy, Anticoagulant or Hypertension.
Review of Resident #1's MAR reflected the following orders:

During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 12:41 pm the DON stated the facility had a remote MDS Nurse who
was responsible to complete care plans. The DON stated Resident #1 should have had a comprehensive
care plan completed but was not sure of the time frame, maybe within 48-72 hours. The DON stated she
usually checked to see if the baseline care plans were developed. The DON stated she was wearing so
many heads and it was hard to keep up. The DON stated Residents needed care plans to know how to take
care of them.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 1:35 pm, the Interim Administrator stated the initial baseline care plan
should be done 48-72 hours after admission. The Interim Administrator stated compressive care plans
should be done with the initial MDS assessment and quarterly updates, and when there is a significant
change. The Interim Administrator stated a comprehensive care plan was a road map to provide care for a
particular resident. The Interim Administrator stated it was not good that Resident #1's comprehensive care
plan only addressed his dietary needs, and she did not have explanation as to why Resident #1's
comprehensive care plan was not completed. The Interim Administrator stated the MDS Nurse was
responsible to complete the comprehensive care plans with information provided by the DON.
During a phone interview on 05/19/2025 at 3:17 pm the MDS nurse stated she completes the
comprehensive care plan after she had completed her assessment about 21 days after admission. The
MDS Nurse stated she completed Resident #1's MDS assessment on 04/14/2025 but did not complete his
comprehensive Care Plan. The MDS nurse stated it looked like it fell through the cracks, and she did not
have explanation as to why Resident #1's comprehensive care plan was not done.

Residents Affected - Some
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
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who is incontinent of bladder
receives appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections for 1 (Resident #1) of 4
residents review for catheter care.
The facility failed to change Resident #1's foley catheter (a medical device used to drain urine from the
bladder.) as ordered monthly on 04/09/2025 and 5/9/2025. Resident #1 was sent to the local ER on [DATE]
due to fever and lethargy and was diagnosed with possible sepsis (is a life-threatening condition that occurs
when the body has extreme response to infection).
This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 05/19/2025 at 4:19 pm and an IJ
template was given. While the IJ was removed on 05/20/2025 at 7:01 pm, the facility remained out of
compliance at a severity of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal harm, that was not
immediate jeopardy at a scope of pattern, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the
corrective systems.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk for hospitalization, coma and death.
Findings included:

Review of Resident #1's TAR reflected his Foley was changed on 4/9/25 by MA E.
Review of Resident #1's TAR reflected his Foley was changed on 5/9/25 by MA A.
Review of Resident #1's progress notes written by LVN C dated 05/17/2025 at 1:39 pm reflected:
Resident transferred to ER due to difficult to arouse, decrease in urine output and low blood pressure.
Review of Resident #1 current hospital records dated 5/17/2025 reflected:
He was sent over from his nursing home for fever of 101, more lethargic than usual and his glucose reading
was high. On arrival his serum glucose is around 478, sodium is 156, creatinine of 4. He is very lethargic
and barely opens eyes. Initial work up shows likely diagnosis of DKA/ hyperosmolar diabetes (is a serious
complication of diabetes, primarily occurring in individual with type 2 diabetes), possible sepsis, UTI (his
foley was exchanged in ER, had brown urine with some pus in penile area), possible right lung pneumonia,
with AKI.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 10:11 am MA A stated she did not change Resident #1's foley
catheter because it was outside her scope of practice. MA A stated Resident #1's foley catheter order to
change was on her MAR and she accidentally signed it. MA A also stated she did not tell the nurse who
worked on 5/9/2025 about the foley catheter needing to be changed.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 11:04 am the DON stated, foley catheters were supposed to be
changed once a month. The DON stated if foley catheters were not changed as ordered, the resident would
get infection. The DON stated Resident #1's foley catheter was supposed to be changed around 5/09/2025
and the nurse was supposed to initial when it was changed. The DON stated staff did not document urine
output because Resident #1 did not have orders to document urine output and Resident #1 did not have
issues with output. The DON stated MAs cannot change foley catheters because it was not within their
scope of practice. The DON reviewed Resident #1's TAR and noted that it was not changed on 4/9 and 5/9
but was initialed by MAs. The DON stated Resident #1's order for catheter change was revised on
5/10/2025 by LVN F to reflect on the nurse's TAR, according to the DON.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 11:43 am the NP stated Resident #1 had a foley catheter due to
urinary retention. The NP stated she usually did not write orders for foley catheters, and she let the
urologist deal with foley catheters. The NP stated she expected the facility to keep foley catheters clean and
free from infection. The NP asked to step out and call the MD, came back later and stated she would not
continue with the interview unless her MD was present.
During a phone interview on 05/19/2025 at 2:45 pm the MD stated, there was new evidence that indicated
not to change the foley catheter monthly. The MD stated changing foley monthly, really did not

make a difference in infection prevention. The MD stated the hospital may have said change the foley
catheter monthly, but he disagreed with the urologist (are medical specialists who focus on the diagnosis
and treatment of conditions related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system) . The MD stated
Resident #1 would have to be scheduled for urology follow-up, maybe his foley catheter was difficult.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 1:35 pm, the Interim Administrator stated not changing the foley
catheter as ordered can lead to possible infection. The Interim Administrator stated the CNAs were
supposed to document urine output. The interim Administrator stated if Resident #1 had the foley catheter
due to urinary retentions, it was important to document urine output.

During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 10:01 am LVN B stated he was not aware of Resident #1 needing
accu checks (accu check refer to the use of a glucometer to test a patient's blood sugar level) or insulin.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 11:04 am the DON stated, she knew Resident #1 was diabetic from
his referral papers that were faxed over. The DON stated she reviewed Resident #1's admission papers and
she didn't see Resident #1 was on Insulin. The DON stated she participated in Resident #1's admission
assessments and reviewed his orders from the referral papers sent in February 2025. The DON stated she
did not put Resident #1's orders in Point Click Care (PCC- a web based EHR that helps long-term care
provider manage the complete lifecycle of a resident care). The DON stated Resident #1 was admitted to
the facility with only 2 pieces of paper. The DON stated she called the local hospital for Resident #1's
hospital records and was told the records would be faxed over. The DON stated she did not follow up to find
out if Resident #1's hospital records were faxed or document that she had called for the hospital records.
The DON stated she did not see Resident #1 showing signs or symptoms of Hypo (low) or Hyperglycemia
(high blood glucose). The DON stated if a Resident was supposed to get insulin and did not get the insulin,
the resident would have hyperglycemia which can lead to DKA and coma.
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 11:43 am the NP stated, Resident #1 was seen once a month
because he was non-funded ( no Payal source). The NP stated she had seen Resident #1 twice since he
was admitted to the facility. The NP stated she visited with Resident #1 on 5/17/2025. She said he was not
responding well, he was unresponsive, and she ordered for him to be sent to the ER for further evaluation.
The NP stated she documented on 05/04/2025 that Resident #1 should continue insulin regimen as
prescribed, monitor glucose levels and foot ulcer healing based on the MD's previous documentation and
Resident #1's hospital records. The NP stated she did not review Resident #1's MAR/TAR for his glucose
reading during her visits. The NP stated she did not have access to PCC to put in orders. The NP stated if a
resident was ordered insulin and did not get the insulin as ordered, the resident can go into DKA or
hyperosmolarity (blood is more concentrated than normal due to dehydration). The NP stated, generally,
you want the serum blood glucose around 80 and not more than 200, and 400 plus serum blood glucose
can indicate uncontrol diabetes/blood sugar. The NP stated she ordered labs on 5/4/2025 but was not able
to get the lab done due to Resident #1's funding. The NP stated she gave the lab ordered sheet to the DON
and spoke with the MD regarding that. The NP stated, if the insulin was ordered from the hospital for
Resident #1, Resident #1 should have gotten the insulin as ordered.
During a phone interview on 05/19/2025 at 12:15 pm RN D stated he worked with Resident #1 but could
not remember putting Resident #1's orders in the EMR upon admission. RN D stated he did not recall
Resident #1 having orders for accu checks or insulin. RN D stated he had never given Resident #1

During an interview on 05/19/2025 at about 12:41 pm, the DON stated the NP gave her a sheet with orders
for labs for Resident #1, but the labs were not completed due to Resident's payment source (LOA-Letter of
Agreement). The DON stated Resident #1 contract with the hospital only pay for room and boarding only.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 05/19/2025 at 1:35 pm, the Interim Administrator stated when a resident is being
admitted from the hospital, the admitting nurse was responsible to call the hospital for clarification of orders.
She stated, if the Resident was transported to the facility without hospital papers, the admitting nurse is
responsible to contact the hospital for discharge papers and follow up on the papers. The Interim
Administrator stated the DON was responsible to ensure the nurses were following all orders. The Interim
Administrator stated for a resident who was ordered insulin and did not get the insulin, the resident's blood
glucose would be high. The Interim Administrator stated the facility missed the insulin order for Resident #1,
it was a mistake, and they were working on fixing the problem. The Interim Administrator stated for a
Resident with LOA funding, the facility gets paid a flat rate per day through the hospital contract. The
Interim Administrator also stated the facility would pay for labs because the Resident had to be taken care
of. The Interim Administrator stated that was a misunderstanding. The Interim Administrator stated the MD
should be able to see and treat every Resident regardless of their payment source.
During a phone interview on 05/19/2025 at 2:45 pm the MD stated he had just reviewed Resident #1's
chart and the insulin and accu checks were an error on their part. He stated it was an oversight not looking
for the accu check and the insulin administration. The MD stated his office should have realized that
Resident #1's insulin was held. The MD stated he was told by the NP that the DON said the insulin was
discontinued due to insurance problem/ LOA. The MD stated the facility should have continued with
Resident #1's accu checks and stopped the 70/30 insulin when the blood glucose was stable. The MD
stated his NP should have asked the facility to monitor Resident #1's blood glucose reading regardless of
payment source. The MD stated DKA was considered life threatening, but we can bring the
Resident/Patient back from it. He stated DKA can also be triggered by acute infection, but again, the blood
glucose should have been monitored before the facility can decide on keeping Resident #1 on the insulin or
not.
Review of Resident #1's Letter of Agreement dated 04/01/2025 reflected the following:
Obligations of Facility
a. Facility shall provide quality service to patient without discriminating of the basis of
source of payment, gender, nationality, ethnicity, age, or handicap.
b. Facility shall invoice Hospital by the 15th of each month for services to patient. An
itemized statement will accompany each invoice.
c. Facility agrees to provide the following services to the Patient:

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

Medication reconciliation is the process of comparing pre-discharge medications to post-discharge
medications by creating an accurate list of both prescription and over the counter medications that includes
the drug name, dosage, frequency, route, and indication for use for the purpose of preventing unintended
changes or omissions at transition points in care.
Residents Affected - Some
2.
Medication reconciliation reduces medication errors and enhances resident safety by ensuring that the
medications the resident needs and has been taking continue to be administered without interruption, in the
correct dosages and routes, during the admission/transfer process.
3.
Medication reconciliation helps to ensure that all medications, routes and dosages on the list are
appropriate for the resident and his/her condition, and do not interact in a negative way with other
medications/supplements on the list.
4.
Medication reconciliation helps to ensure that medications, routes and dosages have been accurately
communicated to the Attending Physician and care team.
Steps in the Procedure
3. Using an approved medication reconciliation form or other record, list all medications from the medication
history, the discharge summary, the previous MAR (if applicable), and the admitting orders (sources).
4.
List the dose, route and frequency for all medications.
5.
Review the list carefully to determine if there are discrepancies/conflicts.
c.
There is a medication listed on the discharge summary for which there is no diagnosis or condition to
support the use of the medication.
6.
If there is a discrepancy or conflict in medications, dose, route or frequency, determine the most
appropriate action to resolve the discrepancy. For example:
