**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 needs respiratory
care was provided with such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for four (Resident #1,
Resident #3, Resident #5 and Resident #6) of five residents reviewed for oxygen in that:-The facility failed
to have a system in place of how to ensure the oxygen concentrators were maintained to ensure that
Resident #1, Resident #3, Resident #5 and Resident #6 received oxygen at the prescribed flow rates.- The
facility failed to ensure Resident #3's oxygen was administered continuously as ordered by the
physician.-The facility failed to ensure Resident #5's oxygen was administered at 2 liters per minute instead
of 1.5 liters per minute via nasal cannula as ordered by the physician.This deficient practice could affect
residents who received oxygen continuously and could result in residents receiving incorrect or inadequate
oxygen support and could result in a decline in health.Findings Included:-Oxygen Concentrators:During a
confidential interview on an undisclosed date at an undisclosed time revealed, the facility's oxygen
concentrators were not serviced and maintained to ensure residents received oxygen at the prescribed flow
rates. It was reported that the facility only cleaned the outside of the concentrators. It was reported that the
QA tag on one of the oxygen concentrators that was being used by a resident had a QA sticker that
reflected the oxygen concentrator was last serviced 10/04/2019. It was reported that the concern had been

an oxygen medical supplier. It was observed that an oxygen concentrator was stored under the hand sink in
the small Central Supply room in the Northeast Wing. The DON said it was stored there because it was not
working. The oxygen concentrator was not labeled as being out of order. The DON said the oxygen
concentrator should be labeled so it was not used and/or stored in a separate area. There were two oxygen
concentrators stored in the room. The oxygen concentrators did not have QA stickers that indicated when
the last QA service check was completed on the concentrators.During an interview on 01/23/26 at 10:35

serious progressive lung disease where tissue deep in the lungs becomes damaged, scarred, thick, and
stiff. This scarring makes it difficult for lungs to function, restricting breathing and reducing oxygen flow to
the blood stream. It is a chronic condition that worsens over time), chronic hypoxic hypercapnic respiratory
