prefers. for 1 of 21 (Residents #60) residents reviewed for psychoactive medications. The facility failed to
ensure Resident #60 had signed a psychotropic consent for Remeron (antidepressant medication). This
failure could place residents at risk for receiving unnecessary antipsychotic medications without informed
consent.Findings included: Record review of Resident #60's face sheet, dated 09/10/25, indicated a [AGE]
year-old male who was his own responsible party was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the
diagnoses which included dementia (a group of conditions that cause a decline in cognitive abilities, such
as memory, language, attention, and problem-solving, severe enough to interfere with daily life), stroke, and
high blood pressure. Record review of Resident #60's significant change in MDS assessment, dated
07/28/25, indicated Resident #60 rarely understood and was rarely understood by others. Resident #60 had
severe daily decision-making skills. The MDS indicated Resident #60 required assistance with toileting, bed
mobility, dressing, and transfers. Resident #60 had 7 days of antidepressant medication during the
look-back period. Record review of the comprehensive care plan, dated 07/31/25, indicated Resident #60

revealed that it was not found in his chart. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 5:23 p.m., RN D said she was
the charge nurse for Resident #60. She said psychoactive consents should be obtained for all psychotropic
medications before being given. RN D said she did not fill out the psychotropic consent form in the
computer for Resident #60 because she forgot. She said it was important to get consents to show that we
educated the family about the reason for the medication. During an interview on 09/10/2025 5:31 p.m.,
Resident #60 was not aware of his medication, but knew his appetite was not good. During an interview on
09/10/2025 at 5:35 p.m., the ADON said the charge nurse who took an order for psychotropic medication
should have gotten the consent, and she should have followed up the next day. She said she had not
printed the order summary report over the last 2 days because the state surveyors were in the building and
she had not had time. She said it was important to obtain consent before medication was given. During an
interview on 09/10/25 at 5:50 p.m., the DON said consents should be signed before

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 develop and implement 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, for 1 of 26 (Resident 32) residents
reviewed for comprehensive person-centered care plans. The facility failed to ensure Resident #32's
comprehensive care plan addressed she received an IV antibiotic via her central line. This failure could
affect residents by placing them at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions to meet their current
needs.Findings included: Record review of Resident #32's face sheet dated 09/10/25, indicated a [AGE]
year-old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included partial intestinal
obstruction (bowel obstruction), diabetes type 2 (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the
blood), and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm). Record review of Resident #32's admission MDS
assessment dated [DATE], indicated she was usually understood and usually understood others. Resident
#32 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated her cognition was intact. Resident #32 had received IV
medications and had an IV access. Record review of Resident #32's comprehensive care plan dated
08/28/25 indicated Resident #32 had an actual skin impairment related to left chest central catheter. The
care plan interventions indicated to access/record/monitor wound healing at least weekly. The care plan did
not address Resident #32 received IV antibiotics via her central line. Record review of Resident #32's
orders summary report with order date range of 08/20/25-09/10/25, indicated the following
orders:*meropenem (antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, stomach and meninges)
intravenous solution 2 GM intravenously three times a day for 20 days with an order date of 08/20/25.
Record review of Resident #32's Nurse Administration Record dated 09/01/25-09/30/25, indicated
Meropenem 2 GM was administered intravenously three times a day at 9:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 11:00 PM.
During an observation and interview on 09/08/25 at 10:31 AM, Resident #32 was in her bed. The IV pump
was on with meropenem infusing to Resident #32's central catheter at 100 ml/hr. Resident #32 said she
had been on IV antibiotics since she admitted to the facility due to recent abdominal surgery. During an
interview on 09/10/25 at 4:14 PM, the Regional MDS Coordinator said the DON and ADON were
responsible for the acute care plans. She said not having Resident #32's IV medications care planned did
not affect her, because the resident still received her IV antibiotic by following the physician orders. During
an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:19 PM, the DON said she was not responsible for the care plans. She said
the MDS Coordinator was responsible for updating the care plans. She said she expected the care plans to
be updated because it was part of the resident's care. The DON said she was unsure of the risks for the IV
medications not being care planned. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:35 PM, the ADON said she could
have sworn she had updated Resident #32's care plan to reflect the IV medications she was receiving. The
ADON reviewed Resident #32's care plan and said she could not find it. The ADON said the DON and
herself were responsible for ensuring the antibiotics were care planned. The ADON said failure to care plan
Resident #32's IV antibiotic would place her a risk for not receiving the care she needed. She said
someone who looked at the care plan would not be aware to monitor for side effects. During an interview on
09/10/25 at 4:45 PM, the Administrator said she expected Resident #32's IV medications to be care
planned because it was part of her care. She said since the IV medication was not care planned, the staff
would not be aware of Resident #32 required an IV antibiotic. The Administrator said nursing was
responsible for ensuring the care plans were updated. Record review of the facility's policy Care Planning

assist in scheduling the appointments for Resident #11's cataract surgery. During an interview on 09/09/25
at 11:15 AM, LVN B said she input Resident #11's order on 09/01/25 and attempted to order it from the
pharmacy, but the pharmacy was out of the medication and had to order it, and it came the next day. She
said since Resident #11 did not get his eye drops in time, the surgery was rescheduled to 09/30/25. LVN B
said the facility had the ketorolac eye drops in the facility to ensure Resident #11 would get them on time.
She said she should have input the order when she received it but guessed she forgot to chart the
medication order and input the order in the computer when she received the order. LVN B said she would
have to find paperwork because she could not remember the exact day since it had been a while. LVN B
said she had to go give medications and would let the surveyor know when she found more information.
During an interview on 09/09/25 at 11:46 AM the facility pharmacist said the pharmacy received the order
for Resident #11's Ketorolac on 09/01/25 at 11:43 AM and they did not have the medication at on hand. The
pharmacist said the pharmacy ordered the medication and se to the pharmacy on 09/02/25 morning run.
The pharmacist said if the facility had the facility sent the order at an earlier date the pharmacy would have
sent the medication earlier. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at

4:51 PM the ADON said LVN B did not input the ketorolac order when she received the order from the
ophthalmologist and thought she could get the ketorolac in the facility in time. The ADON said LVN B got
the order in the computer the day before the surgery on 09/01/25 and when she ordered the ketorolac, it
did not come in. The ADON said she called the pharmacy to check on the ketorolac and the pharmacy told
her the ketorolac was on back order and they did not receive the medication until 9/2/25. The ADON said
the failure placed a risk id for Resident #11 having worsening eyesight or psychological effects. During an
interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:04 PM the DON said she was not aware of when the medication ketorolac
was supposed to be started for Resident #11's eye surgery until 09/10/25. The DON said LVN B should
have placed the order in the computer when she received it from the ophthalmologist to prevent it from
being missed. The DON said LVN could have set the start date to begin in future on 08/31/25. The DON
said the Social Worker had been helping with setting up appointments and now that they have a Medical
Records Personnel, she would begin to follow up on appointments being made. The DON said the failure
placed a risk of Resident #11 not getting the care he needs and having to wait longer for his eye surgery.
During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:17 PM the Administrator said her expectation was for all nurses to
input orders in a timely manner to prevent errors. The Administrator said the failure placed a risk for
Resident #11 not being provided services and Resident #11 at risk for increased difficulties related to his
vision. She said charge nurses were responsible for inputting orders and DON and ADON should have
been following up to ensure orders were in timely. Record review of the facility policy Telephone Orders for

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 the residents environment remained
free of accident hazards for 1 of 26 residents (Residents #11) reviewed for accident hazards. The facility
failed to ensure a safe environment to prevent accidents and hazards for Residents #11 by not ensuring 3
razors (1 razor that did not have a cover over the blades and 2 razors in the open package) in his drawer
were stored securely. This failure could place residents at risk for injuries. Findings included: Record review
of Resident #11's face sheet dated 09/10/25 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses legal blindness, high blood pressure, malignant neoplasm of the
prostate (prostate cancer), and depression. Record review of Resident #11's quarterly MDS assessment
dated [DATE] indicated he usually understood others and usually made himself understood. The MDS also
indicated he had a BIMS score of 15 which meant he was cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated he
required total assistance with toileting, transfers, bathing, and bed mobility and required setup assistance
for eating and hygiene. Record review of Resident #11's undated care plan indicated he had impaired visual
function related to cataracts, poor vision, and macular degeneration and ADL self-care performance deficit
with interventions of dependent staff participation in toileting, transfers, bed mobility, bathing, and personal
hygiene. During an interview and observation on 09/08/25 at 3:05 PM, Resident #11 said the facility
removed items from the residents' rooms in the facility and then returned items back to them. Resident #11
told surveyor to look in his drawer. Resident #11 had 3 razors (1 razor that did not have a cover over the
blades and 2 razors in the open package). He said the staff shaved him when needed. During an interview
on 09/10/2025 at 4:58 PM, the ADON said Resident #11 should not have had the razors in his room. She
said the failure placed a risk for someone getting the razors and cutting themselves. She stated the facility
does have wanders that goes all over the facility and open doors. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:08
PM, Tthe DON said Resident #11 should not have had the razors in his room. The DON said the failure
placed a risk for other residents getting the razors out of the drawers and cutting themselves, and the risk
for Resident #11 using the wrong items related to him being blind. She said Resident #11 could have
reached in drawer and cut himself. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:23 PM, the Administrator said
Resident #11 should not have had the razors in his drawers. She said the razors were hazardous items and
placed a risk for Resident #11 cutting his hands. The Administrator said the department heads were
responsible for monitoring each residents' room daily. She said the CNAs should have removed the razors
after care. Record review of the facility's policy Resident Rooms and Environment revised 08/2020
indicated:PurposeTo provide residents with a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment.PolicyThe
Facility provides residents with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. Facility Staff will
provide residents with a pleasant environment and person-centered care that emphasizes the residents'
comfort, independence, and personal needs and preferences. This shall include ensuring that residents can

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 demonstrates that this is not possible or resident preferences indicate otherwise for 1 of 2
residents reviewed for nutritional status (Resident #12). The facility failed to ensure Resident #12's enteral
feeding (a form of nutrition that is delivered into the digestive system as a liquid form via the feeding tube)
was administered as ordered by the physician on 09/08/25. This failure could place residents at risk for
malnourishment, illness, skin breakdown, and decreased quality of life.Findings included: Record review of
Resident #12's face sheet dated 09/10/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who readmitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses which included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and gastrostomy status (surgical
opening in stomach to provide nutrition and medications). Record review of Resident #12's quarterly MDS
assessment dated [DATE], indicated usually understood and usually understood others. Resident #12 had
short and long-term memory problems. The MDS assessment did not indicate Resident #12 had a weight
loss or weight gain of 5% or more in the last month or 10% or more in the last 6 months. Resident #12 had
a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #12's comprehensive care plan dated 01/13/23, indicated
Resident #12 had a NPO diet and had a peg tube for feeding and medication purposes. The care plan
interventions included the nurse to administer feeding as ordered. Record review of Resident #12's order
summary report dated 09/10/25, indicated the following orders:*Enteral Feed Order every shift, Jevity 1.5 or
equivalent (ie isosource 1.5) at 78 ml/hr for at least 20 hours daily with a start date of 07/03/25. Record
review of Resident #12's nurse administration record dated 09/01/25-09/30/25, indicated Resident #12's
enteral feeding nutrition was removed in the morning at 11:00 AM. The record indicated it had been
completed daily. The nurse administration record did not indicate the time Resident #12's feeding needed to
be restarted. During an observation on 09/08/25 at 11:10 AM, Resident #12 was sitting up in his wheelchair
in his room. Resident #12's enteral feeding pump was off. During an observation and interview on 09/08/25
at 4:20 PM, Resident #12's enteral feeding pump continued to be off. LVN A said Resident #12's pump
could be off for 4 hours. LVN A said she was not aware Resident #12's feeding was turned off and LVN B
did not relay it in report. She said if LVN B told her to check Resident #12's machine, she would have
checked it. LVN A said the nurses were responsible for ensuring Resident #12's feeding was turned on
within the timeframe. LVN A said by not administering his enteral feeding as ordered, Resident #12 was at
risk for weight loss. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 11:45 AM, LVN B said Resident #12's enteral
feeding pump could be off for 4 hours. LVN B said they turned the pump off for incontinent care and

did not relay in report to LVN A that Resident #12's feeding was off. She said she usually set an alarm on
her phone to turn Resident #12's pump back on, but she did not set one on 09/08/25 since she had been
busy. She said Resident #12 was at risk for not receiving his nutrition for the day since he had been left off
for an hour more than the ordered amount. LVN B said she was responsible to ensure Resident #12's
feeding was restarted as per physician orders. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 1:25 PM, the Registered
Dietician said depending on the care being provided to Resident #12, the feeding could have exceeded the
time frame of 4 hours. She said Resident #12's feeding being off for an extra hour was not going to affect
him. She said nursing was responsible for ensuring Resident #12's feeding was being administered as
ordered. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:19 PM, the DON said Resident #12 had an order to turn off

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 that a resident who needed respiratory
care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the resident's goals and preferences for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for respiratory care. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had a physician's order for oxygen.
This failure could place residents who receive respiratory care at risk of developing respiratory
complications and a decreased quality of care.Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face
sheet, dated 09/10/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included shortness of breath also known as SOB, (feeling of
difficulty breathing or not being able to get enough air), obesity, depression (sadness), diabetes, and
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD (a group of lung diseases that cause airflow
obstruction and breathing problems. Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated
08/20/25, indicated Resident #1 understood and was understood by others. Her BIMS score was a 15,
which indicated her cognition was intact. The MDS indicated she required total assistance for showering,
dressing, grooming, and transferring, and was set up for eating. The MDS indicated she wore oxygen
during the 7-day look-back period. Record review of Resident#1's care plan dated 07/21/25 indicated she
required oxygen for shortness of breath and COPD. The staff interventions were to give oxygen as ordered
by the physician. Record review of Resident #1 ‘s physician orders dated 09/09/25 did not indicate any
oxygen orders. Record review of Resident #1 ‘s physician orders dated 09/10/25, after the surveyor
intervention, indicated oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal canula every shift for shortness of breath.
During an observation on 09/08/25 at 11:39 a.m., Resident #1 was in her room wearing oxygen at 2 liters
per minute via nasal cannula. She said she had been wearing oxygen for a while (unknown time) and
needed it to help her breathe. During an observation on 09/10/25 at 4:09 p.m., Resident #1 was in her room
wearing oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula. RN H came in and verified she was on oxygen at 2
liters per minute via nasal canula. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:11 p.m., RN H went to look at
Resident #1's physician's order and said she did not see an order, but knew Resident #1 wore oxygen. She
said Resident #1 went to the hospital, and maybe the oxygen order fell off. She said it was important to
have an order as part of her care, and having oxygen too low or not at all could cause respiratory issues.
During an interview on 09/10/25 at 5:50 p.m., the DON said the charge nurses were responsible for placing
orders in the computer when they received a new order. She said she did not know why Resident #1 did not
have oxygen orders. She said the ADON was the overseer for ensuring the orders were placed in the
electronic records. She said it was important to have orders in the system and follow them to prevent
respiratory issues. During an interview on 09/10/25 6:11 p.m., the Administrator said nurse managers were
the overseers of orders. She said oxygen should not be applied without an order. She said that without a
written order, staff would not know the correct oxygen rate. She said failure to have an oxygen order or
follow the oxygen order could cause respiratory issues. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Oxygen
Administration, revised June 2020, indicated, Purpose: To prevent or reverse hypoxemia and provide
oxygen to the tissues. Policy: #1 initiation of oxygen, A. A physician's order is required to initiate oxygen
therapy, except in an emergency. The order shall include: #1 oxygen flow, # 2 Method of administration
(e.g., nasal canula), # 3 Usage of therapy (continuous or PRN), and #5 Indication for use .

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) to meet the needs of 1 of 6 residents (Resident #42) reviewed for pharmacy services. The
facility failed to ensure Resident #42 did not have duplicate orders for his potassium. This failure could
place the residents at risk of not receiving the intended therapeutic benefits of prescribed
medications.Findings included: Record review of Resident #42's face sheet dated 09/10/25, indicated a
[AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia
(memory loss) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Record review of Resident #42's annual MDS
assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was usually understood and usually understood others. Resident
#42 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated his cognition was intact. Record review of Resident #42's
comprehensive care plan revised on 06/24/24 indicated Resident #42 had GERD (acid reflux) and
diverticulosis (condition in which small, bulging pouches develop in the digestive tract). The care plan
interventions indicated to administer medications as ordered. Record review of Resident #42's order
summary report date 09/10/25, indicated the following orders:*Potassium Chloride ER 20 MEQ give one
tablet by mouth in the morning for BLE edema with a start date of 07/18/25.*Potassium Chloride ER 20
MEQ give one tablet by mouth one time a day for supplement with a start date of 07/31/25.*Potassium
chloride ER 20 MEQ give one tablet by mouth in the afternoon for supplement with a start date of 07/30/25.
Record review of Resident #42's medication administration record dated 09/01/25-09/30/25 indicated
Resident #42 had received one tablet of potassium 20meq daily at 09:00 AM, 09:00 AM, and 2:00 PM.
During an observation on 09/09/25 at 8:33 AM, MA C administered Resident #42 the following
medications:*amlodipine 5mg- 1 tablet*famotidine 20mg- 1 tablet*multivitamin with minerals- 1
tablet*furosemide 80mg- 1 tablet*Folic acid 1mg- 1 tablet*sertraline 50mg- 1 tablet*thiamine 100mg- 1
tablet*Potassium chloride 20MEQ- 1 tablet During an interview on 09/10/25 at 12:13 PM, MA C reviewed
Resident #42's MAR and said she did not realize Resident #42 had 2 orders for potassium 20 MEQ. She
said it was a duplicate order. She said since she had been signing off for both potassium orders at 09:00
AM; it looked like a medication error. She said during the medication administration observed, she only
administered one tablet of potassium to Resident #42. She said by having duplicate orders, Resident #42
was at risk for receiving double the medication. MA C said she was responsible for administering
medications as ordered, and if a discrepancy was noted to notify the nurse. During an interview on
09/10/25 at 2:44 PM, RN D said when Resident #42 lasix was increased to twice a day, his order for his
potassium was also increased. RN D said she failed to discontinue Resident #42's previous potassium
order. She said she had been having trouble inputting the orders that in the midst of things she forgot to
discontinue the order. RN D said failure to ensure Resident #42 did not have duplicate orders placed him at
risk for receiving an extra dose of potassium which could cause cardiac issues. During an interview on
09/10/25 4:19 PM, the DON said she expected the nurse to have reviewed the Resident #42's orders prior
to implementing a new order to ensure there were no duplicate orders. The DON said the medication aide
was responsible for looking at the orders during medication administration. She said although one tablet
was given, the MA still signed off as she had administered 2 tablets of potassium. The DON said since
Resident #42 had duplicate potassium orders, it placed him at risk for an increased potassium level. The
DON said the ADON clarified new orders the next day and was unsure how Resident #42's potassium
order was missed. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:35 PM, the ADON said she when she came in the
morning, she printed off any

Resident #1's comprehensive care plan dated 07/21/25, indicated Resident #1 had a potential for nutritional
problems related to obesity. The interventions were to serve the diet as ordered and consult a dietitian as
needed. Record review of the breakfast meal ticket dated 09/10/25 for Resident #1 indicated regular diet,
and under the note section indicated two milks with all meals. During an observation on 09/09/25 at 9:01
a.m., Resident #1 was in her bed eating her breakfast, and had one juice and one milk on her tray. During
an observation and interview on 09/10/25 at 8:10 a.m., Resident #1 had her breakfast and only had one
milk on her tray. Resident #1 said they only bring her one glass of milk most of the time, and the nurses
must go back and get her another milk to take her medications. She said she likes two milks, one for her
breakfast meal, and the other to help get her medications down. The Social Worker walked into the room
and verified that the tray card said two milks. The Social Worker walked to the kitchen and brought Resident
#1 a glass of milk. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 8:13 a.m., CNA K said she was the aide who served
Resident #1 her breakfast tray this morning (09/10/25). She said she did not give her two milks; she said it
was an oversight. She said the aides were responsible for putting the drinks on the hall trays. During an

juice. She said she would not take her medication unless she had one or the other. She said Resident #1
preferred milk. She said she was not aware who was supposed to put the beverage on the tray, but knew
she did not have the beverage most days when she administered medications to Resident #1. During an
interview on 09/10/2025 at 10:37 a.m., RN D said she was the nurse who checked the trays before they left
the dining room. She said the aides passed out the beverages on the halls, so she was unaware of why
Resident #1 did not receive the milk she requested. She said she did not usually give medication, so she
was unaware that Resident #1 was not receiving her milk. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 5:11 p.m., the
Dietary Manager said she expected Resident #1 to receive her two milks as requested. She said she could
not remember who told her Resident #1 wanted two milks with breakfast, but she added it on her tray card.
She said the kitchen staff were responsible for the beverages in the dining room, but the nursing staff was
responsible for the hallways. The Dietary Manager said it was important for Resident #1's beverage
preference to be followed because it was what she wanted. During an interview on 09/10/25 at 5:50 p.m.,

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 3 of 26
residents (Resident #66, Resident #11, and Resident #18), reviewed for infection control practices. 1. The
facility failed to ensure CNA O did not wear her gown and gloves out of Resident #66's room after providing
direct care to Resident #66 who was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP- an infection control strategy
that uses gloves/gowns during high-contact resident care to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant
organisms) on 4/11/25.2. The facility failed to ensure CNA O did not pick up linens off Resident #66's floor,
placed in a bag, and then proceeded to provide direct care to Resident #66 without changing her gloves on
4/11/25.3. The facility failed to ensure CNA S did not pick up a plastic bag from Resident #66's floor and
place on the resident's bed on 6/26/25.4. The facility failed to ensure CNA N wore gloves throughout
providing direct care to Resident #66 who was on EBP on 9/09/25. 5. The facility failed to ensure CNA N
wore gown and gloves throughout providing direct care to Resident #66 who was on EBP on 9/09/25.6.
CNA E failed to change gloves between dirty and clean surfaces while providing incontinent care for
Resident #11. 7. CNA E failed to use proper hand hygiene between glove changes while providing
incontinent care for Resident #11.8. The facility failed to ensure RN D changed her gloves and perform
hand hygiene after she obtained Resident #18's fingerstick blood sugar on 09/09/25.These failures could
place residents at risk for cross contamination, at an increased risk of infection, and the spread of infection.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #66's face sheet dated 9/08/25 indicated she was [AGE] years old and was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] initially and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident #66 had diagnoses which
included dementia (forgetfulness), chronic kidney disease, diabetes, urinary tract infection, heart failure,
chronic kidney disease, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance (infection that has
resistance to many common antibiotics), weakness and lack of coordination.

providing hygiene, changing linens, changing briefs or toileting assistance, and/or caring for indwelling
medical devices … every shift for standard precautions with a start date of 6/24/25. Record review of
video footage dated 4/11/25 beginning at 4:15 AM, started with CNA O and CNA Q at Resident
#66’s bedside wearing gowns and gloves. CNA Q was on Resident #66’s left side of the bed
between the bed and wall. CNA O was on Resident #66’s right side. CNA O and CNA Q pulled back
Resident #66’s bedding and moved her pillows and CNA O placed a trash bag and a clean brief on
the bed. CNA Q pulled Resident #66 toward her using a draw sheet, then CNA O was doing something
behind the resident (unable to see due to the positioning of the camera) as CNA Q held Resident #66 on
her side. CNA O then left Resident #66’s room, at 4:16 AM, wearing her gown and same gloves she
had used to care for Resident #66. CNA O returned to Resident #66 at 4:16 AM, seventeen seconds later,
carrying a white folded item that appeared to be a draw sheet. CNA O then proceeded to continue providing
care to Resident #66 without changing her gloves. CNA O through linens onto the floor and then reached
down and gathered the linen and placed in a plastic bag. CNA O then went back to providing care to
Resident #66.
Record review of video footage dated 6/26/25 beginning at 2:12 PM started with CNA S wearing a gown
and gloves as she was repositioning Resident 66’s bedding. CNA S then begun providing care to
Resident #66 and had placed a plastic bag toward the foot of the resident’s bed. CNA S appeared to
be providing incontinent care but was not able to visualize the actual care provided due to the position of
the camera. During CNA S providing care to Resident #66, the plastic bag fell off the bed onto the floor and
CNA S picked up the plastic bag from the floor and placed it back on Resident #66’s bed.
Record review of video footage dated 9/09/25 beginning at 4:30 AM, started with CNA N and CNA P at
Resident #66’s bedside. CNA N was on Resident #66’s right side and CNA P was on her left
side between the wall and her bed. CNA N and CNA P pulled back Resident #66’s bedding. CNA N
and CNA P appeared to be providing incontinent care but was unable to actually see the care provided due
to the position of the camera. CNA N removed her gloves and left her gown on. CNA P then removed her
gown and gloves while still between the wall and the resident’s bed. CNA N and CNA P then both
pull the resident’s cover over her. CNA P was not wearing a gown or gloves while leaning over
Resident #66 positioning her bedding and pillows and was allowing her clothing to touch the
resident’s bedding. CNA N was not wearing gloves whiling positioning Resident #66’s
bedding and placing a pillow behind the resident’s head.
During an observation and interview on 9/09/25 at 8:45 AM, Resident #66 was lying in bed with her
Responsible Party (RP) at her bedside. Resident #66 had a Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) sign
posted at the head of the bed on the wall. Resident #66’s RP said she had a camera in the
resident’s room, and her main concern were with the staff not changing their gloves during
incontinent care and prior to handling multiple surfaces in the resident’s room.
During an interview on 9/09/25 at 11:45 AM, CNA K said she had worked at the facility for approximately
six years. CNA K said staff should change their gloves after cleaning the resident during incontinent care,
when going from dirty to clean areas. CNA K said staff should change their gloves after providing
incontinent care and prior to touching other items in the resident’s room. CNA K said if staff did not
change their gloves appropriately, their gloves would be soiled, and they would transfer any germs to other
surfaces in the room and could cause the resident an infection. CNA K said staff should be wearing gown
and gloves while providing care to a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. CNA K said staff should not

remove their gown and gloves and then put on new ones when returning to the resident’s room.
CNA K said the purpose of EBP was to protect staff and to not transfer germs from one resident to another
resident.
During an interview on 9/09/25 at 3:11 PM, LVN A said she had worked at the facility for seven years. LVN
A said when staff were providing incontinent care, the staff should change their gloves after removing dirty,
after cleaning, and anytime they were soiled. LVN A said staff should change their gloves after providing
incontinent care and prior to touching other objects in the resident’s room, so not to
cross-contaminate. LVN A said the resident could get an infection and transfer to other residents and staff.
LVN A said staff should be wearing gowns and gloves anytime while providing care for residents on EBP.
LVN A said staff should remove their gown/gloves after all care had been provided. LVN A said EBP was to
protect the resident and staff from transmitting infection/disease. LVN A said staff should wear the gown
and gloves until all care was completed. LVN A said staff should not leave the resident’s room
wearing their gown and gloves after touching the resident, and should remove their gown/gloves prior to
leaving the room and then put on new gown/gloves when returning to the resident’s room. LVN A
said staff could cross-contaminate anything they touched in the hall/linen cart if the staff wore there
gown/gloves out of the resident’s room. LVN A said it would be an infection control issue.
During an interview on 9/09/25 at 3:38 PM, CNA R said she had worked at the facility for about a year. CNA
R said staff should change gloves every time you do care and use hand sanitizer. CNA R said staff should
change their gloves after providing incontinent care and before touching any other items in the
resident’s room. CNA R said staff should not remove their gloves and gown until they had finished
everything and then take everything (gown/gloves) off just prior to leaving the resident’s room. CNA
R said staff should remove their gown/gloves prior to leaving the resident’s room after touching the
resident. CNA R said it would be cross-contamination if staff wore their gown and gloves out of the
resident’s room and went and got clean linen from the linen cart. CNA R said EBP was, so staff did
not pass germs to another resident. CNA R said it would be an infection control issue.
During an interview on 9/09/25 at 5:35 PM, CNA Q said she had worked at the facility for a little over a year.
CNA Q said staff should change their gloves and wash or sanitize their hands prior to starting care on the
resident, and after cleaning the perineal area (private areas) before turning the resident over, after cleaning
bowel movement, and change gloves before touching anything such as the resident, their bedding, and/or
clothing. CNA Q said staff should change their gloves appropriately to not transmit anything they had on
their gloves to the other surfaces and spread bacteria. CNA Q said staff should wash their hands and
change gloves appropriately to keep infections down. CNA Q said if you have to leave the resident’s
room, who was on EBP, staff should remove their gown and gloves to not transmit anything to other things,
like the clean linen cart, and then transmit whatever they had on their gloves and then they could take
bacteria to every room and spread bacteria. CNA Q said it was an infection control issue. CNA Q said not
changing gloves, sanitizing, wearing gown/gloves out of the room into the hallway, placed the residents at a
higher risk of infection. CNA Q said staff should not remove their gown/gloves when caring for a resident on
EBP until they were completely done with resident care. CNA Q said the gown/gloves for a resident on EBP
was a barrier between staff and the resident to prevent the spread of infection.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 9/09/25 at 5:56 PM, CNA N said she had worked at the facility since January 2025.
CNA N said staff should change their gloves every time you wipe the resident during incontinent care. CNA
N said that was what she did. CNA N said you should change gloves before touching other items in the
resident’s room after performing incontinent care. CNA N said so you do not transmit germs or what
was on your gloves to other areas or surfaces. CNA N said the EBP was, so you did not transit infections to
other residents. CNA N said if you had begun care on a resident wearing a gown and gloves and then had
to leave the room to get something, you should remove your gown and gloves and then wash
hands/sanitize hands. CNA N said then staff should put on a new gown and gloves to prevent spreading
infection to other things such as the linen cart. CNA N said because you would have already touched the
resident and could spread infection, if not removing gown/gloves prior to exiting the resident’s room.
CNA N said staff should not remove their gown and gloves while still caring for a resident who was on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions because the gown and gloves prevented the spread of infection and was a
barrier between the staff and the resident. CNA N said she kept gloves in a bag and used hand sanitizer
when she changed her gloves when providing incontinent care and placed her clean bag with supplies on a
small towel on the resident’s table to keep them clean.
Residents Affected - Some

provided and there was a recording stating it had restricted calling and was unable to leave voicemail. CNA
P did not return call prior to surveyor exiting the facility.
On 9/10/25 at 9:26 AM and 11:50 AM, called CNA S and there was no answer but left a detailed voicemail.
CNA S did not return call prior to surveyor exiting the facility.
During an interview on 9/10/25 beginning at 2:54 PM, the DON said staff should change their gloves
anytime soiled and perform hand hygiene. The DON said staff should change gloves prior to touching items
in a resident’s room. The DON said if staff did not change gloves appropriately during incontinent
care and then touched items in the resident’s room, it could lead up to an infection and it was
“just nasty”. The DON said it was an infection control issue. The DON said staff should
remove their gown and gloves after completing the resident’s care but could change their gloves
whenever needed. The DON said staff should not remove their gown when providing care to a resident on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) until the staff was ready to leave the resident’s room. The DON
said if staff remove their gown and gloves prior to completing the resident’s care, could be an
infection control issue. The DON said staff should not leave a resident’s room who is on isolation or
on EBP wearing their gown and gloves and should probably use the call light to have another staff member
to bring them what they needed. The DON said if staff were wearing their gown and gloves out of a
resident’s room who was on isolation or EBP, it could affect other residents by transferring bacteria
out of the resident’s room, potentially exposing other residents. The DON said staff should not pick
up anything off the floor and place it on the resident’s bed. The DON said dirty linens should not be
placed on the resident’s floor but should be placed in a bag. The DON said staff should not pick
anything off the floor and then continue the resident’s incontinent care without changing gloves and
performing hand hygiene. The DON said whatever was on the floor would be on the resident and was an
infection control issue.
During an interview on 9/10/25 beginning at 3:35 PM, the ADM said she would expect staff to change
gloves appropriately to prevent cross-contamination and spread of infections. The ADM said she expected
the staff to follow the facility’s Infection Control and Enhanced Barrier Precautions

increase the resident’s risk of infection and spreading infection to other residents.
2. Record review of Resident #11’s face sheet dated 09/10/25 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old
male who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses legal blindness, high blood pressure,
malignant neoplasm of the prostate (prostate cancer), and depression.
Record review of Resident #11’s quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated he usually understood
others and usually made himself understood. The MDS also indicated he had a BIMS score of 15 which
meant he was cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated he required total assistance with toileting,
transfers, bathing, and bed mobility and required setup assistance for eating and hygiene.
Record review of Resident #11’s undated care plan indicated he had impaired visual function
related to cataracts, poor vision, and macular degeneration and ADL self-care performance deficit with
interventions of dependent staff participation in toileting, transfers, bed mobility, bathing, and personal
hygiene.
During an observation 09/08/2025 at 2:45 PM, CNA E assisted the Treatment Nurse and provided
incontinent care to Resident #11. During providing incontinent care CNA E cleaned Resident #11’s
fecal matter off of his buttocks and grabbed the clean brief with the same dirty gloves on applied new brief
on resident. She then removed her old gloves, and nurse gave her new gloves to put on. Failed to provide
hand hygiene between glove changing.
During an interview on 09/08/2025 at 3:02 PM, CNA E said she should have used hand sanitizer between
glove changes and changed her gloves between dirty and clean surfaces because of germs being
transferred. She said she had just started her shift and forgot to grab her hand sanitizer that she usually
keeps in her pocket.
During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 4:55 PM, the ADON said her expectation was for all the CNAs to
change their gloves between clean and dirty and provide proper hand hygiene in between. She said the
failure placed a risk for cross contamination and infection.
During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:12 PM, the DON said she expected the CNAs to change gloves any
time the gloves were dirty or soiled and the CNAs should have been using hand sanitizer or hand washing
between glove changes. The DON said the failure placed an increased risk for infection.
During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 6:27 PM, the Administrator said her expectation was for the CNAs to
be changing their gloves and sanitizing appropriately while providing care. The nurse managers were
responsible, and the risk is spread of infection.
3. Record review of Resident #18’s face sheet dated 09/10/25, indicated an [AGE] year-old female
who readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe) and diabetes type 2 (a group of
diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood).
Record review of Resident #18’s quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated she was
usually understood and usually understood others. Resident #18 had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated
her cognition was intact. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #18 had received insulin injections 7
days out of the 7-day look back period.

Record review of Resident #18’s comprehensive care plan did not address Resident #18 diagnoses
of diabetes.
Record review of Resident #18’s order summary report dated 09/10/25, indicated an order for
Insulin Lispro (insulin which helps lower blood sugar levels) 100unit/ml inject per sliding scale before meals
and at bedtime with a start date of 02/07/25.
Record review of Resident #18’s nurse administration record dated 09/01/25-09/30/25, indicated
Resident #18 had received 2 units of insulin lispro at 11:30 AM on 09/09/25.
During an observation and interview on 09/09/25 at 11:24 AM, RN D retrieved supplies from the
nurse’s cart and entered Resident #18’s room to obtain her blood sugar. RN D donned
gloves and obtained Resident #18’s blood sugar. RN D then obtained the insulin pen from the tray
she had taken into Resident #18’s room and went to the nurse’s cart to look at Resident
#18’s orders. RN D failed to remove her gloves or perform hand hygiene prior to obtaining the insulin
pen or going to the nurse’s cart. RN D administered 2 units of insulin to Resident #18. RN D said
she did not change her gloves after she obtained Resident #18’s blood sugar and should have. She
said blood could have been on her gloves. RN D said failure to change gloves and perform hand hygiene
placed the residents at risk for cross contamination of blood borne pathogens. She said she had been
nervous due to surveyor observing her. She said she was responsible for ensuring infection control was
maintained.
During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:19 PM, the DON said she expected the nurse to have changed her
gloves after she obtained Resident #18’s blood sugar. She said failure to do so placed the residents
at risk for infections. She said the employee performing a task was responsible to ensure infection control
was maintained.
During an interview on 09/10/25 at 4:45 PM, the Administrator said she expected the nurse to have
