Residents Affected - Few
Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to immediately consult the physician when there was a
significant change in the resident's physical and mental status (that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or
psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications) for 1 of 13 residents
(Resident #4) whose records were reviewed for change in condition.
1. The facility failed to notify Resident #4's physician when Resident #4 had an increase in bruising while
taking an anticoagulant medication (blood thinner that works by preventing red blood cells from forming
clots), which indicated a change of condition and resulted in a delay of treatment.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 07/13/23 at 9:30 AM. While the IJ was removed on
07/14/23 at 11:56 AM, the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm with a potential for more
than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's
need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of a delay in medical intervention and puts residents at an
increased risk for adverse reaction while taking an anticoagulant medication (blood thinners), such as
severe bruising, external or internal bleeding, or death.
The findings included:
Record review of the face sheet, dated 07/11/23, revealed Resident #4 was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (a chronic and progressive
movement disorder that initially causes tremor in one hand, stiffness, or slowing of movement), unspecified
dementia, without behavioral disturbance (group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes
with daily life), history of cerebral infarction (stroke), history of a heart attack, hypertension (high blood
pressure), mitral (valve) stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve of the heart that causes tiredness and
shortness of breath), and congestive heart failure (progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of
the heart muscles).
Record review of the MDS assessment, dated 05/30/23, revealed Resident #4 had clear speech and was
usually understood by staff. The MDS revealed Resident #4 was usually able to understand others. The
MDS revealed Resident #4 had a BIMS of 12, which indicated moderately impaired cognition. The MDS
revealed Resident #4 had no behaviors or refusal of care. The MDS revealed Resident #4 required
extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene with a
one or two staff assistance.

During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:20 PM, the ADON stated she used to be the treatment nurse at the
facility. The ADON stated weekly skin assessments should have been a complete head to toe assessment,
to include discoloration or bruising. The ADON stated new bruising or discoloration should have been
monitored for 72 hours, initially, then weekly on the skin assessments. The ADON stated new bruising or
discoloration should have been reported to the physician.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:44 PM, the DON stated she was unaware of Resident #4's increased
bruising until this week. The DON stated she expected staff to monitor for bruising and other signs of
bleeding every shift for residents taking a blood thinning medication. The DON stated an increase in
bruising for resident's taking a blood thinning medication should have been reported to the physician, as
soon as it was noticed, because it would have been considered a change of condition. The DON stated the
increased bruising for Resident #4 was reported to the physician on 07/12/23 and a new order for a STAT
CBC and PT/INR was obtained. The DON stated it had not been reported to physician prior to 07/12/23.
The DON stated documenting bruising on the weekly skin assessment, anticoagulant monitoring every
shift, and reporting increased bruising to the physician were important to monitor and follow up on side
effects of blood thinning medications such as bruising, metabolic functions, and fragile skin.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:32 PM, Physician M stated he had been caring for Resident #4 for the
last 15 to 20 years. Physician M stated Resident #4 had a history of minor skin areas such as small areas
of bruising and skin tears, because of the tremors and fidgeting caused by Parkinson's disease. Physician
M stated Resident #4 was taking a blood thinner called Aggrenox which had aspirin in it. Physician M stated
Resident #4 was at an increased risk for GI bleeding, bruising, and bleeding because she was taking a
blood thinning medication. Physician M stated he was notified on 07/12/23 for the increased bruising on
Resident #4. Physician M stated he looked at it while he was making rounds and stated he believed it was
bruising and it was on her left shoulder and elbow and right and left thighs. Physician M stated the bruising
was not concerning or suspicious of abuse because there were no shapes or fingerprints. Physician M
stated he wanted to be notified of increased bruising for residents who were taking a blood thinning
medication as soon as it was noticed so he could have ordered some lab work to rule out acute or
worsening medical problems. Physician M stated he ordered some STAT labs, which included a CBC to
check for platelets and red blood cells, a CMP to check for protein, and a PT/INR to check for clotting
factors.
Record review of the lab results, dated 07/12/23 at 5:01 PM, revealed on the CBC, Resident #4 had a low
red blood cell count 3.2 (normal 3.8 - 5.1), hemoglobin (iron-containing oxygen carrying protein found in red
blood cells) 8.8 (normal 11.6 - 15.4), and hematocrit (volume percentage of red blood cells) 28.0 (normal
34-45). The CMP revealed Resident #4 had a low total protein 5.5 (normal 5.7 - 8.0). The PT/INR revealed
Resident #4 had a high PT 12.4 (normal is 9.0 to 12.0).
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 5:59 PM, Physician M stated Resident #4 had some anemia by looking
at the CBC. Physician M said the protein (on the CMP) was a little off but still good. Physician M stated the
INR was normal and the PT was only elevated by 0.4 which was not concerning. Physician M stated he
wanted the facility to keep monitoring the bruising and to repeat the CBC in one week because Resident #4
might need a blood transfusion, which could indicate bleeding. Physician M stated he wanted to be notified
of any changes.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 6:03 PM, CNA N stated he worked 2-10 shift on 07/10/23 and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure each resident was informed before, or at the time of
admission, and periodically during the residents stay, of services available in the facility and of changes for
those services, which included changes for services not covered under Medicare/Medicaid or by the
facility's per diem rate for 2 of 3 residents (Residents #9 and #129) reviewed for Medicare/Medicaid
coverage.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #9 and #129 was given a SNF ABN when discharged from skilled
services at the facility prior to covered days being exhausted.
This failure could place residents at risk for not being aware of changes to provided services.
Findings include:
1. Record review of Resident #9's face sheet, dated 07/12/2023, indicated Resident #9 was an [AGE]
year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis which included dementia (loss of
memory, language, problem solving and other thinking abilities that were severe enough to interfere with
daily life), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart failure ((chronic, progressive condition in
which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen).
Record review of Resident #9's annual MDS assessment, dated 04/26/2023, indicated Resident #9
understood others and made herself understood. The assessment indicated Resident #9 was moderately
cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 12.
Record review of the SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review indicated Resident #9 was receiving
Medicare Part A services starting on 04/19/2023 and the last covered day of Part A services was
05/08/2023, however it was revealed that a SNF ABN was not completed which would have informed
Resident #9 of the option to continue services at the risk of out-of-pocket.
2. Record review of Resident #129's face sheet, dated 07/12/2023, indicated Resident #129 was a [AGE]
year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis which included CKD (gradual loss of
kidney function over time), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and atrial fibrillation (irregular, often rapid heart
rate).
Record review of Resident #129's admission MDS assessment, dated 12/06/2022, indicated Resident #129
understood others and usually made herself understood. The assessment indicated Resident #129 was
severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 4.
Record review of the SNF Beneficiary Protection Notification Review indicated Resident #129 was
receiving Medicare Part A services starting on 12/02/2022 and the last covered day of Part A services was
01/02/2023, however it was revealed that a SNF ABN was not completed which would have informed
Resident #129 of the option to continue services at the risk of out-of-pocket.
During an interview on 07/14/2023 at 12:00 p.m., the Administrator stated the previous social worker was
responsible for ensuring Resident #9 and #129 were issued a SNF ABN. The Administrator stated

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:02 PM, LVN L stated she was the treatment nurse at the facility and
had worked at the facility since March of 2022. LVN L stated Resident #4 had discoloration to several areas
on her skin. LVN L stated Resident #4 had the discoloration and skin problems prior to 07/11/23, when they
were documented. However, the skin issues did not require a treatment, so they were not documented on

discoloration should have been reported to the physician and the abuse coordinator.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:44 PM, the DON stated she expected all skin integrity issues to be
documented, which included bruising or areas of discoloration. The DON stated Resident #4 had long-term,
recurring bruising and discoloration. The DON was unsure if Resident #4 was taking a blood thinning
medication. The DON stated she was unaware of Resident #4's increased bruising until this week and was
unsure how the bruising occurred. The DON stated an increase in bruising for resident's taking a blood
thinning medication should have been reported to the physician, as soon as it was noticed, because it
would have been considered a change of condition. The DON stated increased bruising should have been
reported to the abuse coordinator if the origin was unknown.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:32 PM, Physician M stated he had been caring for Resident #4 for the
last 15 to 20 years. Physician M stated Resident #4 had a history of minor skin areas such as small areas
of bruising and skin tears, because of the tremors and fidgeting caused by Parkinson's disease. Physician
M stated Resident #4 was taking a blood thinner called Aggrenox which has aspirin in it. Physician M stated
Resident #4 was at an increased risk for GI bleeding and increased bruising and bleeding because she was
taking a blood thinning medication. Physician M stated the bruising was not concerning or suspicious of
abuse because there were no shapes or fingerprints.

Charge Nurse on duty will complete AP - 31 - Form A - Incident & Accident Report Form, or a substantively
similar form, and record such information into the resident's medical record. C. Documentation must include
information relevant to risk factors and conditions that causes or predisposes someone to similar signs and
symptoms (e.g., receiving anticoagulants, having osteoporosis, having a movement disorder that results in
thrashing movement). i. Any descriptions in the medical record must be objective and sufficiently detailed
(e.g., size and location of bruises), and should not speculate about causes .

Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being
admitted
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review the facility failed to develop the baseline care plan within 48 hours of
admission for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #75) reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #75 had a baseline care plan completed within 48 hours of admission
This failure could affect residents by not addressing their physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for each
resident to attain or maintain their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial outcome.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 07/11/2023, indicated Resident #75 was a [AGE] year-old male initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included end stage
renal disease (kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis), cerebral infarction due to embolism of
unspecified cerebellar artery (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area caused by
a blood clot), and type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified (chronic condition that
affects the way the body processes blood sugar with progressive death of nerve fibers, which leads to loss
of nerves, increased sensitivity, and the development of foot ulcers).
Record review of the Baseline Plan of Care-V2 indicated an admission date of 06/30/2022 and it was
signed completed on 06/26/2023 by LVN A.
Record review of another Baseline Plan of Care-V2 indicated an admission date of 06/30/2022 and it was
signed completed on 07/03/2023 by LVN A.
During an interview on 07/12/2023 at 11:02 AM, LVN A said the baseline care plan should be completed
within 24 hours after admission. LVN A said the baseline care plan signed completed 06/26/2023
corresponded to Resident #75's initial admission date of 06/22/2023. LVN A said it was completed late. LVN
A said the baseline care plan signed completed on 07/03/2023 corresponded to the admission date of
06/30/2023, and it was note completed on time. LVN A said she did not know why she had completed
Resident #75's baseline care plans late. LVN A said it was important to complete the baseline care plan
within 24 hours after admission, so the CNAs knew what the residents required for their care and the level
of assistance they needed.
During an interview on 07/13/2023 at 8:32 AM, the ADON said the baseline care plan was supposed to be
completed by the nurse on admission, if the admitting nurse was not able to complete it, the next shift nurse
was responsible for completing it. The ADON said the DON and herself tried to make sure the nurses were
completing the baseline care plans timely. The ADON said the baseline care plans should be completed by
the next day after admission. The ADON said Resident #75's baseline care plan for his admission on
[DATE] was completed on 06/26/2023, which indicated it was 3 days late. The ADON said Resident #75's
baseline care plan for his admission on [DATE] was completed on 07/03/2023, which indicated it was
completed 3 days late. The ADON said she did not know why Resident #75's baseline care plans were
completed late. The ADON said it was important to complete the baseline care plan

person-centered care plan to meet resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs identified in
the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 13 residents reviewed for care plans. (Resident #4)
The facility did not implement Resident #4's care plan related to anticoagulant therapy.
This failure could place residents at risk for inaccurate care plans and decreased quality of care.
The findings included:
Record review of the face sheet, dated 07/11/23, revealed Resident #4 was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (a chronic and progressive
movement disorder that initially causes tremor in one hand, stiffness, or slowing of movement), unspecified
dementia, without behavioral disturbance (group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes
with daily life), history of cerebral infarction (stroke), history of a heart attack, hypertension (high blood

During an observation and attempted interview on 07/10/23 at 9:09 AM, Resident #4 was laying in her bed
with her bed sheets pulled up. She was moving her legs up and down and holding the bed sheets in her
hands close to her face. Resident #4's arms and legs were visible from the door and several large,
reddish-purple bruises were observed to Resident #4's upper legs and arms. Resident #4 was unable to
remember how the bruising occurred and stared at the surveyor when questions were asked.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:02 PM, LVN L stated she was the treatment nurse at the facility and
had worked at the facility since March of 2022. LVN L stated Resident #4 had discoloration to several areas
on her skin. LVN L stated Resident #4 had the discoloration and skin problems prior to 07/11/23, when they
were documented, however the skin issues did not require a treatment, so they were not documented on
the weekly skin assessment. LVN L stated Resident #4 has always had terrible skin and the discoloration
comes and goes frequently. LVN L stated she was unsure if Resident #4 was taking a blood thinning
medication.LVN L stated the facility staff was aware of Resident #4's skin status because it has been
discussed several times, especially regarding transfers. LVN L stated the discoloration had been present
since she started working there but had come and gone in the same area. LVN L stated if Resident #4's
care plan stated to monitor, document, and report bruising, it should have been monitored, documented,
and reported.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:20 PM, the ADON stated she used to be the treatment nurse at the
facility. The ADON stated weekly skin assessments should have been a complete head to toe assessment,
to include discoloration or bruising. The ADON stated new bruising or discoloration should have been
monitored for 72 hours, initially, then weekly on the skin assessments. The ADON stated residents who took
a blood thinning medication should have been moitored for bruising per the care plan.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:44 PM, the DON stated she expected all skin integrity issues to be
documented, which included bruising or areas or discoloration. The DON stated Resident #4 had long-term,
recurring bruising and discoloration. The DON was unsure if Resident #4 was taking a blood thinning
medication. The DON stated she was unaware of Resident #4's increased bruising until this week. The
DON stated she expected staff to monitor for bruising and other signs of bleeding every shift for residents
taking a blood thinning medication. The DON stated an increase in bruising for resident's taking a blood
thinning medication should have been reported to the physician, as soon as it was noticed, because it
would have been considered a change of condition. The DON stated documenting bruising on the weekly
skin assessment, anticoagulant monitoring every shift, following the care plan, and reporting increased
bruising to the physician were important to monitor and follow up on side effects of blood thinning
medications such as bruising, metabolic functions, and fragile skin.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:32 PM, Physician M stated he had been caring for Resident #4 for the
last 15 to 20 years. Physician M stated Resident #4 had a history of minor skin areas such as small areas
of bruising and skin tears, because of the tremors and fidgeting caused by Parkinson's disease. Physician
M stated Resident #4 was taking a blood thinner called Aggrenox which had aspirin in it. Physician M stated
Resident #4 was at an increased risk for GI bleeding, bruising, and bleeding because she was taking a
blood thinning medication. Physician M stated he wanted to be notified of increased bruising for residents
who were taking a blood thinning medication as soon as it was noticed so he could have ordered some lab
work to rule out acute or worsening medical problems.

the interdisciplinary team and that the resident was invited to participate in developing the care plan and
making decisions about his or her care for 1 of 19 residents (Resident #75) reviewed for care plan timing
and revision.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #75 was invited to participate in the development and review of his
care plan.
This failure could place residents at risk of not being able to attain or maintain their highest practicable level
of physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 07/11/2023, indicated Resident #75 was a [AGE] year-old male initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included end stage
renal disease (kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis), cerebral infarction due to embolism of
unspecified cerebellar artery (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area caused by
a blood clot), and type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified (chronic condition that
affects the way the body processes blood sugar with progressive death of nerve fibers, which leads to loss
of nerves, increased sensitivity, and the development of foot ulcers).
Record review of the Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #75 was usually
understood and usually understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #75's BIMS was 8,
which indicated his cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #75
required supervision for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.

newly admitted residents. The Administrator said it was important for the care plan meetings to be done
with the residents so the staff knew if the residents may have special needs and to make sure all the
residents' needs were met.
During an interview on 07/14/2023 at 10:02 AM, the Social Worker said it was important for the care plan
meetings to be done because the facility needed to establish the plan of care and the goals for the
residents. The Social Worker said she did not know why the care plan meeting with Resident #75 was not
done.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure that residents receive treatment
and care in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 13 (Resident #4) residents reviewed
for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to intervene when Resident #4, who was taking an anticoagulant medication (blood
thinner that works by preventing red blood cells from forming clots), had increased bruising, which indicated
a change of condition.
2. The facility did not ensure LVN L, who was the treatment nurse, accurately performed weekly skin
assessments.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 07/13/23 at 9:30 AM. While the IJ was removed on
07/14/23 at 11:56 AM, the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm with potential for more than
minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's need to
complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at an increased risk for adverse reactions while taking an
anticoagulant medication (blood thinners), such as severe bruising, external or internal bleeding, or death.
The findings included:

pressure), mitral (valve) stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve of the heart that causes tiredness and
shortness of breath), and congestive heart failure (progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of
the heart muscles).
Record review of the MDS assessment, dated 05/30/23, revealed Resident #4 had clear speech and was

Resident #4 has always had terrible skin and the discoloration came and went frequently. LVN L stated she
was unsure if Resident #4 was taking a blood thinning medication. LVN L stated she had not notified
anyone of Resident #4's new skin areas of discoloration. LVN L stated the facility staff were aware of

on the care plan. LVN L stated she was unsure how the areas of discoloration occurred on Resident #4's
skin. LVN L stated the discoloration had been present since she started working at the facility but had come
and went in the same area. LVN L was unable to say if the discoloration was the same or was in the same
area.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:20 PM, the ADON stated she used to be the treatment nurse at the
facility. The ADON stated weekly skin assessments should have been a complete head to toe assessment,
to include discoloration or bruising. The ADON stated new bruising or discoloration should have been
monitored for 72 hours, initially, then weekly on the skin assessments. The ADON stated new bruising or
discoloration should have been reported to the physician.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:44 PM, the DON stated the treatment nurse was responsible for
ensuring weekly skin assessments were completed. The DON stated she expected all skin integrity issues
to be documented, which included bruising or areas or discoloration. The DON stated she did not ask the
treatment nurse to reopen her skin assessment. The DON stated it was a miscommunication because she
thought it was requested by the state agency. The DON stated a one-on-one in-service on accurately
completing and documented skin assessments was given to the treatment nurse on 07/12/23 and prior to

Resident #4's increased bruising until this week. The DON stated she expected staff to monitor for
increased bruising, especially if a resident was taking a blood thinning medication. The DON stated she
expected staff to monitor for bruising and other signs of bleeding every shift for residents taking a blood
thinning medication. The DON stated an increase in bruising for resident's taking a blood thinning
medication should have been reported to the physician, as soon as it was noticed, because it would have
been considered a change of condition. The DON stated the increased bruising for Resident #4 was
reported to the physician on 07/12/23 and a new order for a STAT CBC and PT/INR was obtained. The
DON stated it had not been reported to physician prior to 07/12/23. The DON stated documenting bruising
on the weekly skin assessment, anticoagulant monitoring every shift, and reporting increased bruising to
the physician were important to monitor and follow up on side effects of blood thinning medications such as
bruising, metabolic functions, and fragile skin.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:32 PM, Physician M stated he had been caring for Resident #4 for the
last 15 to 20 years. Physician M stated Resident #4 had a history of minor skin areas such as small areas
of bruising and skin tears, because of the tremors and fidgeting caused by Parkinson's disease. Physician
M stated Resident #4 was taking a blood thinner called Aggrenox which had aspirin in it. Physician M stated
Resident #4 was at an increased risk for GI bleeding, bruising, and bleeding because she was taking a
blood thinning medication. Physician M stated he was notified on 07/12/23 for the increased bruising on

right and left thighs. Physician M stated the bruising was not concerning or suspicious of abuse because
there were no shapes or fingerprints. Physician M stated he wanted to be notified of increased bruising for
residents who were taking a blood thinning medication as soon as it was noticed so he could have ordered
some lab work to rule out acute or worsening medical problems. Physician M stated he ordered some STAT
labs, which included a CBC to check for platelets and red blood cells, a CMP to check for protein, and a
PT/INR to check for clotting factors.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the lab results, dated 07/12/23 at 5:01 PM, revealed on the CBC, Resident #4 had a low
red blood cell count 3.2 (normal 3.8 - 5.1), hemoglobin (iron-containing oxygen carrying protein found in red

at the CBC. Physician M said the protein (on the CMP) was a little off but still good. Physician M stated the
INR was normal and the PT was only elevated by 0.4 which was not concerning. Physician M stated he
wanted the facility to keep monitoring the bruising and to repeat the CBC in one week because Resident #4
might need a blood transfusion, which could indicate bleeding. Physician M stated he wanted to be notified
of any changes.

assessment. LVN E stated it was normal for Resident #4 to bruise easily because she was on a blood
thinner. LVN E stated she was unsure how Resident #4 received the bruising on her arms and legs. LVN E
stated she monitored for signs and symptoms of bleeding on the anticoagulant monitoring form that was on
the Nurse Administration Record. LVN E stated the bruising was normal for Resident #4 and she did not
document on the anticoagulant monitoring form. LVN E stated the physician should have been notified any
time a new bruise or skin problem was identified. LVN E stated it was important to notify the physician for
signs of bleeding so lab work could have been ordered to check for internal bleeding and medication could
have been adjusted as it was needed. LVN E stated it was important to monitor and follow up with Resident
#4 for signs and symptoms of bleeding, which included increased bruising because she could have had
internal bleeding. LVN E stated it was important to document bruising so it could have been monitored and
followed up on.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that licensed nurses have the specific
competencies and skill sets necessary to care for residents' needs, as identified through resident
assessments, and described in the plan of care for 1 of 13 residents reviewed (Resident #4) for
anticoagulant monitoring and skin assessments.
1. The facility did not ensure the physician orders for anticoagulant monitoring on Resident #4 were
adequately followed, when Resident #4 had an increase in bruising while taking an anticoagulant
medication (blood thinner that works by preventing red blood cells from forming clots).
2. The facility did not ensure LVN L, who was the treatment nurse, accurately performed weekly skin
assessment's resulting in no documentation of Resident #4's bruising.
These failures could place residents at an increased risk for bleeding, bruising, and not receiving the care
and services to meet their individual needs.
The findings included:
Record review of the face sheet, dated 07/11/23, revealed Resident #4 was an [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease (a chronic and progressive
movement disorder that initially causes tremor in one hand, stiffness, or slowing of movement), unspecified
dementia, without behavioral disturbance (group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes
with daily life), history of cerebral infarction (stroke), history of a heart attack, hypertension (high blood
pressure), mitral (valve) stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve of the heart that causes tiredness and
shortness of breath), and congestive heart failure (progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of
the heart muscles).
Record review of the MDS assessment, dated 05/30/23, revealed Resident #4 had clear speech and was
usually understood by staff. The MDS revealed Resident #4 was usually able to understand others. The
MDS revealed Resident #4 had a BIMS score of 12, which indicated moderately impaired cognition. The
MDS revealed Resident #4 had no behaviors or refusal of care. The MDS revealed Resident #4 required
extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene with a
one or two staff assistance.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan, revised on 01/28/23, revealed Resident #4 was on
anticoagulant therapy. The interventions included Monitor/document/report to the doctor as needed for
signs and symptoms of anticoagulant complications: .bruising .
Record review of the order summary report, dated 07/12/23, revealed Resident #4 had an order, which
started on 12/14/21, for Anticoagulant Monitoring - Place letter of symptoms of excess bleeding .every shift
.F. bruising. The orders also revealed an order, which started on 12/13/21, for Aggrenox (blood thinner)
Capsule 25-200 mg by mouth two times a day for blood thinner.

Record review of the Weekly Skin Check, snipped on 07/11/2023 at 5:27 PM, revealed Resident #4 had no
bruising.
During an interview on 07/11/23 at 5:55 PM, a copy of Resident #4's Weekly Skin Check dated 07/11/23
was requested from the DON.
Record review of the Weekly Skin Check provided by the facility, dated 07/11/23, revealed Resident #4 had
the following newly documented skin problem areas: reddish, burgundy discoloration to back of left hand,
front of right shoulder, left lower leg (below the knee), front of the left leg (above the knee), front of the right
leg (above the knee), and the upper inner arm; bright reddish tint to right and left heel; small scabbing to
second right toe and small scabbing to first, second, and fifth toes; red linear scratch to left shoulder in the
front; and purplish discoloration to right lateral foot below the fifth toe.
During an observation and attempted interview on 07/10/23 at 9:09 AM, Resident #4 was laying in her bed
with her bed sheets pulled up. She was moving her legs up and down and holding the bed sheets in her
hands close to her face. Resident #4's arms and legs were visible from the door and several large,
reddish-purple bruises were observed to Resident #4's upper legs and arms. Resident #4 was unable to
remember how the bruising occurred and stared at the surveyor when questions were asked.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 12:02 PM, LVN L stated she was the treatment nurse at the facility and
had worked at the facility since March of 2022. LVN L stated Resident #4 had discoloration to several areas
on her skin. LVN L said she was unable to call the discoloration a bruise because bruising is usually blue,
green, or reddish-purple and the discoloration on Resident #4 was reddish burgundy. LVN L stated when
she completed the weekly skin assessments, she was only documenting skin impairments on the form. LVN
L stated a skin impairment was areas on the skin that required a treatment. LVN L stated she did not
document areas on the skin that did not require a treatment, such as bruising. LVN L stated she was asked

to be documented, which included bruising or areas or discoloration. The DON stated she did not ask the
treatment nurse to reopen her skin assessment. The DON stated it was a miscommunication because she
thought it was requested by the state agency. The DON stated a one-on-one in-service on accurately
completing and documented skin assessments was given to the treatment nurse on 07/12/23 and prior to

the facility. The DON stated Resident #4 had long-term, recurring bruising and discoloration. The DON was
unsure if Resident #4 was taking a blood thinning medication. The DON stated she was unaware of
Resident #4's increased bruising until this week. The DON stated she expected staff to monitor for
increased bruising, especially if a resident was taking a blood thinning medication. The DON stated she
expected staff to monitor for bruising and other signs of bleeding every shift for residents taking a blood
thinning medication. The DON stated an increase in bruising for resident's taking a blood thinning
medication should have been reported to the physician, as soon as it was noticed, because it would have
been considered a change of condition. The DON stated documenting bruising on the weekly skin
assessment, anticoagulant monitoring every shift, and reporting increased bruising to the physician were
important to monitor and follow up on side effects of blood thinning medications such as bruising, metabolic
functions, and fragile skin.

arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate the
hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure quality of care for the
resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending physician, and
others participating in the provision of care for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #68) reviewed for hospice
services.
The facility did not ensure Resident #68's hospice records were a part of their records in the facility
This deficient practice could place residents who receive hospice services at-risk of receiving inadequate
end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care and communication of resident needs.
The findings were:
Record review of a face sheet dated 07/11/2023, indicated Resident #68 was a [AGE] year-old female
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included severe
protein-calorie malnutrition (an imbalance between the nutrients your body needs to function and the
nutrients it gets can lead to muscle loss, fat loss, and your body not working as it usually would), cerebral
infarction unspecified (damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area), and
atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris (buildup of cholesterol
plaque in the walls of arteries causing obstruction of blood flow).
Record review of the Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #68 was understood
and understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #68 had a BIMS score of 9, which
indicated her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #68 received
hospice services while a resident at the facility.
Record review of the care plan with date initiated 03/21/2023, indicated Resident #68 had a terminal
prognosis related to severe protein calorie malnutrition with a goal of dignity and autonomy will be
maintained at the highest level through the review date. Interventions included to work cooperatively with
hospice team to ensure the resident's spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs are met.
Record review of the order summary report dated 07/11/2023 indicated Resident #68 had an order to admit
to hospice under the diagnosis of severe protein calorie malnutrition with start date of 03/10/2023.
Record review of Resident #68's electronic health record did not reveal any hospice related records to
include: (a) the most recent hospice plan of care; (b) the hospice election form; (c) physician certification
and recertification of the terminal illness; (d) hospice medication information; (e) hospice physician orders;
and (f) any progress notes from any hospice visits.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 6 staff (NA H)
reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure NA H performed hand hygiene while providing incontinent care to Resident #26.
The facility did not ensure NA H cleaned Resident #26 peri-anal area before placing a clean brief
underneath her.
These failures could place residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination and the spread of infection.

#26. NA H and CNA K performed hand hygiene and put on gloves. NA H unfastened Resident #26's brief.
NA H cleaned Resident #26's front peri area. NA H removed her gloves and put on new gloves without
performing hand hygiene. NA H rolled Resident #26 to the left side, removed the soiled brief, and placed a
clean brief underneath her. NA H removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, and put on new gloves. NA
H cleaned Resident #26's peri-anal area. NA H removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, and put on
new gloves. NA H and CNA K finished incontinent care.
