interests, assessments, and plan of care for 1 of 8 Residents (Resident #61) whose records were reviewed
for health care services.
Resident #61 expressed her desire to find a psychiatrist within the community. The SS worker told Resident
#61 she could select a psychiatrist of her choice but because the facility provided in house psychiatry
services, she would have to secure her own transportation.

presented as being very angry. Resident #61 stated her counselor recommended she see a psychiatrist.
The SS Worker refused to refer her to a community Psychiatrist and told her she could see the in-house
NP. Resident #61 stated she did not want to see the NP. She stated the SS Worker further stated if she did
get a referral for a community Psychiatrist then she would have to get her own transportation. Resident #61
continued to express her frustration and anger about the situation for about 15 to 20 minutes. She stated
she did not understand why she was being forced to see the NP.
Interview on 06/05/24 at 09:49 AM with SS Worker revealed Resident #61 was being followed by a Psy
services organization for medication management and she received counseling services from a different
provider. The services were provided in-house. The SS Worker stated she referred Resident #61 to a local
provider in private practice for Psychiatric services. The SS Worker stated the provider was within network
with the Resident's insurance. She stated she shared the information with Resident #61 and the Resident
walked away because she didn't like the answer. The SS Worker stated Resident #61 wanted someone who
would come see her at the facility. SS Worker stated transportation was offered in house but was told

15) reviewed for privacy.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure CMA E locked the computer, which exposed Resident #15's morning
medication list after she walked away and left the computer unattended.
This failure could place residents at risk of having medical information exposed to others and cause
residents to feel uncomfortable and disrespected.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident # 15's face sheet, dated 6/4/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses that included Acute Kidney Failure (
occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood) , aphagia (The
loss of the ability to swallow) and Right hemiplegia ( is a condition that causes paralysis on the right side of
the body due to damage to the brain or spinal cord.
Record review of Resident # 15's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 3/24/24, revealed Resident # 15 had a
BIMS score left blank, which indicated resident was unable to complete interview.
Observation on 06/04/24 at 9:30 AM-9:40 AM revealed that CMA E prepared Resident # 15's morning
medication, walked away from the computer (did not lock screen), and displayed morning medication orders
for Resident # 15.
In an interview on 06/4/24 at 9:42 AM, CMA E stated she forgot to lock the computer screen when she
walked away from the computer; she added that Resident # 15's private medical information was possibly
exposed.
In an interview on 06/04/24 at 10:49 AM, the DON stated she was not aware Resident #15's records were
left open and unattended. The DON stated it was her expectation for facility nursing staff to uphold HIPAA
and lock computer screens when they were away from them. The DON stated all staff were to ensure
residents charts were protected at all times. The DON stated leaving residents charts open and unattended
could give unauthorized access to resident charts. The DON stated her ADON was responsiable for
overseeing compliance of this task and it was monitored by doing at random computer screen checks.
Record review of the facility policy entitled Confidentiality of Information, 2001, revised March 2014,
Revealed: The facility will safe guard all residents' records, whether medical, financial, or social in nature, to
protect the confidentiality of the information.

services.
Residents Affected - Some

diagnosis of Bi-polar Disorder which would qualify her for a PASRR evaluation.
This deficient practice could affect residents with a mental illness and could result in Resident's not
receiving mental health services as needed.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #61's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 3/31/24, revealed she was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Dementia, Anxiety Disorder, Manic Depression (Bi-polar
disorder) and Seizure Disorder. Further review revealed Resident #61's BIMS was 6 out of 15 indicative of
severe cognitive impairment.

depressed, severe, with psychotic features and is at risk for hallucinations, delusions and behaviors. Two (2)
of the approaches included Administer medications as ordered, monitor effectiveness, side effects and
notify MD as needed. Psych consult as needed per MD referral.

with managing her disorder.
Interview on 06/05/24 at 03:41 PM with Regional reimbursement MDS Coordinator and the MDS
Coordinator revealed she provided the MDS Coordinator with guidance when completing the screenings.
She stated they coded Resident #61 not being mentally ill when she was initially admitted to the facility.
However, it was an error and would be correcting it. Regional reimbursement MDS Coordinator stated the
purpose of ensuring the screenings were filled out correctly and referring Residents to the LA for
assessment was so the Resident's could receive the services they needed based on their identified needs.
She further stated that if Residents met the criteria to receive services they would also be eligible for
community services in the event they returned to the community.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate
supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents for 1 of 8 Residents (Resident #12) reviewed for
falls.
Nursing staff failed to provide adequate supervision for Resident #12 which resulted in her experiencing a
fall on 6/3/24. On 6/5/24 nursing staff failed to ensure the fall mats were next to her bed to cushion her fall
in an effort to prevent injuries related to having a history of frequent falls.
These deficient practices could affect residents at risk for falls and could result in avoidable falls and
injuries.

ADL's; experienced moderate pain on a frequent basis and had a history of falling.
Review of Resident #12's Care Plan, revised 5/15/24, read: Individual requires max assist x 1 person with
ADL'S due to CVA; Resident is unable to make daily decisions without cues/supervision R/T dx. Alzheimer.
Resident is unable to make daily decisions without cues/supervision R/T dx. Alzheimer's. One of the
interventions included Re-direct resident when potential for injury is evident. Further review revealed
Resident 12 was at risk for falls and had experienced falls. Interventions included Fall mat in place while in
bed. Check room for hazards and keep a safe environment at all times. Observe frequently and assist as
needed; place in supervised area when out of bed if needed.
Review of Resident #12's incident/accident log revealed she had multiple falls including:
1. On 12/6/23 Resident #12 had an unwitnessed fall with no injuries. Agitation noted.

window blind was open; the foam wedge was lodged under the mattress closer to the head of the bed;,
Resident #12's legs were draped over the mattress. Resident #12 was rambling and kept reaching out in
front of her. Further observation revealed no staff in the near vicinity in the hallway. LVN B was at the very
end of the hall talking with someone else. Surveyor intervened and called LVN B over to Resident 12's
room. Upon walking into the room Resident #12 was face down on the mattress, left arm under her body,
knees on the floor mat. LVN B triggered the call light and stated she could not roll the Resident over on her
own. There were two staff passing out lunch trays. They did not notice Resident #12 or that the call light
was on. LVN B called out and within a few minutes the DON responded. LVN B and the DON rolled
Resident #12 back over onto the bed. They lifted her up in bed by using the bed pad. The DON stated
Resident #12 ate in her room and was able to feed herself. No injuries were noted.
Interview on 06/03/24 at 1:30 PM with LVN B revealed Resident #12 was a high risk for falling. She would
roll out of bed all of the time. She stated she was passing out medications and the aides were helping with
lunch when Resident #12 rolled out of bed on this date (6/3/24). She stated she was in Resident #12's
room about an hour and a half before Resident #12 fell. She stated the Resident did not sustain any
injuries. She administered a PRN Clonazepam (anti-anxiety medication).
Observation on 06/05/24 at 3:30 PM revealed Resident #12 was lying in bed. The head and foot of the bed
were positioned at about a 25 to 30 degree angle. Resident #12 had her legs draped over the hump at the
foot of the bed. Further observation revealed two fall mats were positioned away from the bed. Resident
#12's bed had been moved and aligned along the wall alongside the right side of the room upon entering
the room. Resident #12 was facing the doorway. The privacy curtain was drawn half-way but Resident #12
was still visible from the doorway. Surveyor triggered the call light.
Observation and interview on 06/05/24 at 3:47 PM revealed LVN B responded to Resident #12's call light.
Interview with LVN B revealed she checked in on Resident #12 about 45 minutes prior to responding to the
call light. LVN B was observed repositioning the fall mats and moving them to Resident #12's bedside. She
stated the mats were supposed to stay by the side of the bed at all times. All nursing staff was responsible
for ensuring placement. LVN B stated the fall mats were meant to cushion a fall and to prevent injuries. LVN
B stated she had no idea why the mats were not by the bedside. She stated Resident #12 fidgeted in bed
all day.
Interview on 06/05/24 at 4:45 PM with the DON revealed Resident #12 was a high fall risk and had rolled
out of bed many times and out of her wheelchair once but had not sustained any injuries. She stated all of
the falls had been unwitnessed and it was almost impossible to provide Resident #12 with the level of
supervision she required. The DON stated the interventions in place included bolstered mattress, foam
wedge, low bed, call light within reach, fall mats, non-skid socks, medication review and nursing staff
rounded on her frequently. She stated Resident #12 was highly anxious and they increased the dose for
Clonazepam and it was effective at times but she continued to fidget in bed. The DON stated the
interventions had minimized the risk for injuries but had not minimized the risk for falling because the
Resident would roll herself out of bed. The DON stated Resident #12 was also receiving Hospice services.
The DON stated all nursing staff was responsible for ensuring all interventions were in place to prevent falls
and injuries as much as possible.
Review of a facility policy, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised December 2007, read 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. Prioritizing

In an interview with LVN B on 6/1/24, at 10:55 a.m., it was revealed that the night shift changes nebulizer
tubing weekly and bags them. However, she did not know why the nebulizer tubing was not being bagged
and dated. LVN B stated that residents were at risk of possible respiratory infection due to the nebulizer
tubing being undated and unbagged.
During an interview with the DON on 6/2/24 at 11:05 AM, she stated that Resident #4 and #52 should have
had their nebulizer tubing bagged and dated by the night shift. The DON mentioned that the facility currently
uses agency night shift nurses, and it was possible that they had forgotten to date and bag the nebulizer
tubing for these residents. She also stated that the ADON oversees this task and assured that she would be
monitoring it for compliance. The DON emphasized that Residents #4 and #52 were at risk of possible
respiratory infection due to the nebulizer tubing being undated and unbagged.

(congestive) heart failure-re-admitting diagnosis (is also called heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement that represents the percentage of blood the left ventricle pumps out
with every contraction), Shortness of breath and Acute pulmonary edema (A condition where fluid
accumulates in lung tissues. Causing shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing up blood),
Review of Resident #43's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 5/23/24, revealed his BIMS was 15 out of 15
reflecting he did not have cognitive impairment and he received oxygen therapy while a Resident.
Review of Resident #43's Care Plan, dated revised 4/9/24, read Oxygen Therapy: Resident requires oxygen
therapy related to SOB (shortness of breath); Administer oxygen as ordered, Change canula or mask and
tubing as per facility protocol and prn. Further review did not include any instruction on cleaning the filter on
the oxygen concentrator.
Observation on 6/2/24 at 11:26 AM revealed Resident #43 lying in bed with oxygen infusing via nasal
canula at 2L. The filter on Resident #43's oxygen concentrator had a white layer of lint over it. Resident #43
stated he had lived in the facility for 4 1/2 years. He stated staff would change out the water bottle when it
ran out and would change out the tubing at the same time. He stated he had not seen staff clean the filter.
Observation on 6/5/24 at 11:26 AM revealed Resident #43 lying in bed with oxygen infusing via nasal
canula at 2L. The filter on Resident #43 oxygen concentrator had a white layer of lint over it.
Observation and interview on 6/5/24 at 12:00 PM with the DON revealed the filter on Resident #43's
oxygen concentrator was not clean and full of lint. She stated nursing staff was supposed to clean it every
Sunday on the night shift. The DON stated Resident #43 was inhaling lint particles into his lungs via nasal
canula and it could cause upper respiratory complications and possibly an infection. The DON stated
Resident #43 was highly susceptible to complication because of his condition. The DON further stated
nursing staff should check the filter while making rounds and clean it as needed.

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the attending physician documented in the resident's
medical record that the identified irregularity made by the pharmacist had been reviewed and what, if any,
action had been taken to address it. If there was to be no change in the medication, the attending physician
should document his or her rationale in the resident's medical record for 1 of 3 Residents (Resident #25)
whose records were reviewed for unnecessary medications.
The DON and ADON failed to identify the pharmacist addressed identified medication irregularities to the
wrong physician when completing the pharmacy review for Resident #25. This resulted in a delay in the
physician's response to the medication irregularity including Zyrtec (used for allergies) and Hydrocodone
(used for pain).
This deficient practice could affect any resident, delay a physician's response and result in a decline in the
residents health.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #25's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 4/16/24, revealed he was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Heart Failure ( the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it
should), Hypertension (high blood pressure), PVD (disease or disorder of the circulatory system outside of
the brain and heart. The term can include any disorder that affects any blood vessels). Further review
revealed Resident #25's BIMS was 15 out of 15 indicating no cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #25's Care Plan revised on 6/2/24 revealed Resident #25 had amputation to: Bilateral
legs above the knee, recent amputation to left leg. One of the approaches included administer medications
as ordered, assess resident response to pain medication and notify MD if pain is not controlled or resident
experiences adverse reaction.
Review of pharmacy recommendation for Resident #25 dated 5/21/24 read Patient is receiving cetirizine 10
mg po QD and Hydrocodone/APAP 10/325 po TID. These medications have a class D interaction which
may increase the risk of CNS depression. Please reduce cetirizine 10 mg po QD PRN allergies. Further
review revealed Resident #25's physician had not addressed the pharmacist recommendation.
Interview on 6/5/24 at 5:45 PM with the ADON revealed she and the DON were responsible for reviewing
the pharmacist recommendations and forwarding to the physician so he could make changes as needed.
The ADON stated the pharmacist would provide the reviews via email and they would review and send
them forward to the physician within 24 hours. The ADON stated they did not notice that the Pharmacist
had addressed the wrong physician; therefore, Resident #25's physician had not had the opportunity to
review and respond.
Review of a facility policy, Consultant Pharmacist Services Provider Requirements, dated 2007, read
Regular and reliable consultant pharmacist services are provided to residents. d. Medication Regimen
Reviews (RR) for each Skilled Nursing (SNAFU) resident at least monthly, or more frequently under certain
conditions, incorporating the federally mandated standards of care in addition to other

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in
locked compartments under proper temperature controls and permit only authorized personnel to have
access to the keys for one medication cart out of two carts reviewed for medication storage , in that :
1. LVN B left the medication cart unsecured on 100 Hallway while administering medications.
These deficient practices could place residents at risk for misappropriation, misuse or tampering of
medications.
The findings included:
Observation on 06/04/2024 at 08:28 a.m. on the 100 Hall revealed that the medication cart was left
unattended and not locked.
During an interview on June 4, 2024, at 08:28 with LVN B, it was revealed that she had left the medication
cart unlocked, which was a practice she claimed to have never done before. Her focus on checking a
resident led to this oversight. She acknowledged the potential for misappropriation, misuse, and harm if
someone were to gain unauthorized access to the cart and acquire medications, including insulin.
In an interview conducted on 06/04/2024 at 1:27 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), she unequivocally
stated that LVN B was one of her best nurses. She expressed bewilderment at LVN B's oversight in failing
to lock the medication cart. The DON emphasized that it is imperative for nurses and medication aides to
rigorously adhere to the protocol of securing medication carts when not in use due to the potential risks of
misappropriation and harm if unauthorized individuals access the medications. Furthermore, she stated
that her Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) is accountable for overseeing the random locking of
medication carts, while her MDS nurse was tasked with daily monitoring of this crucial security measure
during rounds.
Record review of facilities policy and procedure titled Security of Medication Cart, 2001, revised April 2007
revealed: Medication Carts must be securely locked at all times when out of nurses view.
