Record review of Resident #105's EHR, accessed on 08/22/2024, revealed there was no consent for
Escitalopram Oxalate (Lexapro) in the resident's EHR.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 12:50 PM, Resident #105 stated the facility never obtained her
consent to administer an anti-depressant medication or informed her of the benefits and risks of such a
medication. She had a RP who visited her every evening and showered her, per the RP's preference. She
did not believe her RP signed a consent for an anti-depressant medication.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 01:13 PM, the DON stated consents for anti-depressant medications
needed to be obtained prior to administering medications and she did not see a consent for Escitalopram
Oxalate (Lexapro) in Resident #105's EHR.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 2:05 PM the Director of Medical Records stated she was responsible
for uploading consents for psychotropic medications into residents' EHRs. She uploaded a consent for
Lexapro for Resident #105 that afternoon and she had not seen a consent for this medication for Resident
#105 prior to the afternoon of 08/22/2024.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 2:40 PM, LVN C stated Resident #105 asked her to sign the consent
for Lexapro on 08/22/2024 on her behalf because that was her preference. She knew Resident #105 was
admitted on [DATE], had been administered Lexapro from 08/16/2024 - 08/21/2024, and consents for
anti-depressants needed be obtained prior to the first administration of this type of medications; however,
she was not the nurse who admitted Resident #105.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Psychotropic Medications with a revised date of 12/2023 revealed
7. Upon initial comprehensive assessment, the SSD designee shall review new admissions for any
psychiatric, mood or behavior disorders, mental and psychosocial difficulties, and/or physician's orders for

During an interview with CNA B on 08/21/2024 at 12:42 p.m., CNA B stated she usually stood while
assisting residents to dine so that she could be ready to leave the dining room and assist other residents
outside of the dining room. CNA B stated she had not received instruction or training from the facility
regarding whether to sit or stand while assisting residents to dine.
During an interview with the DON on 08/22/2024 at 2:25 p.m., the DON stated staff who assist with feeding
residents should sit down to do so and it is her expectation that staff sit to assist residents to dine.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the MDS accurately reflected the resident's status
for 1 of 21 residents (Resident #6) whose MDS assessments were reviewed, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #6's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], did not document the resident was receiving hospice services.
This failure could place residents at-risk for inadequate care and services due to an inaccurate
assessments.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #6's face sheet, dated 08/21/2024 revealed an admission date of 04/17/2023,
with diagnoses that included: Acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (abnormally elevated
carbon dioxide levels in blood); Age-related osteoporosis (condition where bones becomes weak/brittle)
with current pathological fracture-vertebra; wedge compression fracture of unspecified lumbar vertebra; and

Record review of Resident #6's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #6 was coded as not
receiving Hospice Care.
During an interview with the MDS Nurse on 8/22/2024 at 4:55 p.m., MDS Nurse verbally confirmed and
stated Resident #6's Quarterly MDS was coded as showing Resident #6 was not receiving Hospice Care.
MDS Nurse noted a Significant Change MDS was completed on 01/20/2024 showing Resident #6's change
of status to Hospice Care, but she stated through oversight, Hospice Care was not carried over onto her
most recent July 2024 Quarterly MDS. The MDS Nurse stated this would cause the MDS to have
inaccurate information and inaccurate MDS information could result in Resident #6 not getting the care
needed.
During an interview with the DON on 08/23/2024 at 10:52 a.m., the DON stated that it was important to
have accurate information on the MDS, to ensure residents receive the care they need, because
information on MDS helps determine budgeting aspects such as staffing needs.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to complete an accurate assessment of each resident's
functional capacity for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #39) whose assessments were reviewed.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #39's diagnosis of depression was a focus area in the resident's
comprehensive care plan.
This deficient practice could affect residents by contributing to inadequate care.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #39's face sheet dated 08/21/2024 revealed the resident was a [AGE] year old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including: Chronic
kidney disease (a condition that occurs when the kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood properly), type
II diabetes mellitus (a long-term condition that occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin or
doesn't use insulin properly) and major depressive disorder (a mental disorder that involves a depressed
mood and loss of interest in activities that are typically enjoyable).
Record review of Resident #39's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS of 12 indicating moderately
impaired cognition. Further review revealed Depression (other than bipolar) was checked in Section I Active Diagnoses.
Record review of documents in Resident #39's EHR revealed a Psychological Progress Note dated
08/15/2024 indicating the resident's top target symptom was depression, current rating was 4-Moderate,
the goal for therapy was reduction, and the symptoms present were, depression, loss of pleasure/interests,
grief/loss issues, memory loss, pain and withdrawal. The resident's plan was to meet with psychological
services weekly.
Record review of Resident #39's comprehensive care plan, updated 05/24/2024, revealed the diagnosis of
depression as was not listed as a focus area.
During an interview on 08/23/2024 at 12:35 PM, the MDS LVN stated Resident #39 used to have an order
for an anti-depressant, but it was recently discontinued. When the medication was discontinued, she
removed the focus area of depression from the resident's care plan because the care plan template was
based on the medication.
During an interview on 08/23/2024 at 12:40 PM the DON stated the MDS DON was responsible for
completing Comprehensive Care plans and she assists from time to time. If a resident had a diagnosis of
depression it needed to be a focus area in the resident's care plan even if the resident was not taking
medication as part of the resident's holistic plan of care to ensure all her needs are addressed.
Record review of facility policy Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning reviewed/revised 12/2023,
revealed: It is the policy of this facility that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) shall develop a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment.

Record review of Resident #17's Consolidated Physician's Orders, accessed 08/23/2024, revealed an order
for: Duloxetine HCL 60 MG Capsule Give 1 capsule by mouth 1 time a day for depression. Start date:
10/15/2022, revision date: 5/01/2024.
During an interview on 08/23/2024 at 11:20 AM, the DON stated Resident #17's order for Duloxetine was
not reduced from 60 mg to 40 mg as the consultant pharmacist recommended and the resident's physician
agreed and should have been. The process for the medication regimen review was the consultant
pharmacist reviewed each residents' medication regimen and emailed the recommendations to her the next
day. Both she and the Medical Records clerk uploaded the recommendations into the resident's EHR. The
Medical Records clerk ensured the recommendations were forwarded to the residents' respective
physicians, and she was responsible for ensuring the physicians' responses to the recommendations were
received and forwarded to a nurse, who was responsible for making any necessary changes in residents'
orders. The process could be improved by having one person responsible, and the consequence of not
implementing a dose reduction for a resident's psychotropic medication was the resident received an
unnecessary dosage of the medication.

interview. Any information obtained will be documented in the resident's clinical record. 3. The LN shall
review the classification of the drug, the appropriateness of the diagnosis, its indication, behavior monitors
and related adverse side effects prior to verification of admission orders with the Attending Physician. 4.
The Attending Physician will review the resident's treatment plan, in collaboration with the consultant
pharmacist, to re-evaluate the use of the psychotropic medication and consider whether or not medication
can be reduced or discontinued upon admission or soon after admission, during Initial physician admission
visit. a. The medical record must show documentation of the diagnosed condition for which a psychotropic
medication is prescribed.

food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to employ staff with the appropriate competencies
and skill sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, taking into consideration resident
assessments, individual plans of care, and the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident
population in accordance with the facility assessment required for 1 of 1 facility reviewed for dietary
requirements, in that:
The DM did not have the appropriate certification, education, or qualifications to serve as the Director of
Food and Nutrition Services.
This deficient practice could place the residents who consume food prepared from the kitchen at risk of
food borne illness and not receiving adequate nutrition.
The findings included:
During an interview on 08/20/2024 at 10:30 AM, the DM stated she was not a certified dietary manager or
certified food service manager, she did not have an associate's or higher degree in food service
management or in hospitality, and she had not been a dietary manager in a long-term care facility for over
two years. She was enrolled in a program at a local college, had completed all the classes, and was waiting
to take the certifying exam.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 9:15 AM, the HR Director stated the DM was hired by the facility as a
CNA/CMA on 05/11/2022 and assumed the position of DM on 07/10/2023.

In addition to serving as the consultant RD for the facility, she was the course director for the dietary
manager's program at the college the DM attended. The DM had completed all the classes, she was
missing a few preceptor hours, and had yet to take the exam to become a certified dietary manager.
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 4:30 PM, the Administrator stated there were several interim DMs
between the facility's last DM and the present one, who was promoted to the position in 2023. She was
aware the DM was not a certified dietary manager or certified food service manager and did not meet any
of the other qualifications for the position but anticipated she would pass the exam shortly.
During an interview on 08/23/2024 at 11:45 AM, the DON stated the facility did not have a policy on the
requirements for the position of DM.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain resident medical records that were complete and
accurately documented for 1 (Resident #105) of 8 residents reviewed for clinical records.
1. The facility failed to include multiple diagnoses on Resident #105's face sheet and list of diagnoses.
2. Resident #105 was administered supplemental oxygen without a physician's order.
These failures could place residents at risk of not having accurate medical records and could create
confusion in services provided or needed to be provided.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #105's face sheet, dated 08/21/2024, indicated Resident #105 was an [AGE]
year-old female admitted to the facility initially on 08/16/2024 with the diagnoses: surgical aftercare
following surgery on the nervous system, chronic systolic heart failure (a long-term condition that occurs
when the heart can't pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs), and presence of cardiac
pacemaker (a small, battery-operated device that's implanted in the chest to regulate the heart's rhythm
and rate by sending electrical pulses).
Record review of Resident #105's admission BIMS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 11
indicating moderately intact cognition. A complete admission MDS had not yet been completed.

hypertensive disorder (high blood pressure).
During an interview on 08/22/2024 at 2:10 PM the DON stated Resident #105's list of diagnoses and face
sheet were missing several diagnoses, and that failure to properly transcribe all the diagnoses from hospital
discharge paperwork could result in improper or potentially life-threatening treatment should the resident be
admitted to the ER. It was the responsibility of the admitting charge nurse to ensure all pertinent diagnoses
were transcribed into the resident's EHR.
2. Observation on 08/22/2024 at 1:51 PM revealed Resident #105 was receiving oxygen from an oxygen
concentrator at the rate of 2L/min.
Record review of Resident #105's TAR revealed Oxygen was not listed as a treatment on the TAR.
Record review of Resident #105's consolidated physician orders revealed there was no order for
supplemental oxygen.
