Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services.
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 that residents who required dialysis (treatment that
filters water and waste from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so) received such
services, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #49) reviewed for
dialysis.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure all pre and post-dialysis assessments were completed for Resident #49.
This deficient practice could affect residents who received dialysis treatments and place them at risk for
complications and not receiving adequate care and treatment to meet their needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #49's face sheet, dated 11/06/24, revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including fluid overload (which happens when there is too
much fluid in your body. It can raise blood pressure, cause swelling, and impact organ function), End-Stage
Renal Disease also known as ESRD (a permanent condition that occurs when the kidneys stop working
and require dialysis or a kidney transplant to sustain life), high blood pressure, and depression (sadness).
Record review of Resident #49's 5-day MDS Assessment, dated 10/14/24 indicated Resident #49 usually
made himself understood and usually understood others. Resident #49 had a BIMS score of 01 indicating
his cognition was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #49 required assistance with transfers,
dressing, toileting, bed mobility, personal hygiene, bathing, and set-up for eating. The MDS for Resident #49
indicated he received hemodialysis (while a resident and on admission).
Record review of the care plan initiated on 10/27/24 indicated he had a diagnosis of ESRD and was
dependent on dialysis. He went to dialysis on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. He had a left fistula on his
inner arm. The interventions were for staff to administer medications as ordered, monitor the fistula site,
and report any abnormalities to the physician.
Record review of Resident #49's Order Summary, dated 10/17/24, revealed orders:
Hemodialysis: AV Fistula/AV Graft to the left upper arm. Auscultate bruits and palpate thrill every shift.
Hemodialysis performed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with a chair time of 6 a.m. Special
Instructions: Fill out the form (Pre-Dialysis Assessment), and send medications, snacks, and a blanket with
the resident.
Record review of Resident #49's Dialysis Notebook undated revealed the following:

10/26/24, 10/31/24 and 11/2/24.
During an interview on 11/05/24 at 9:07 a.m., LVN E said Resident #49 had a dialysis communication book.
She said sometimes Resident #49 did not bring back the communication sheets. She said if he did not
bring back the communication sheet, she would assess him, but she did not place the assessment
(communication sheet) in his book or document the assessment his electronic medical records. She said it
was reported (unknown source) to her that Resident #49 had thrown his communication sheets in the trash
or out the window of the van. She said she had never called the dialysis center to inquire about his
communication sheets, any new orders, or any concerns during dialysis.
During an interview on 11/05/24 at 12:24 p.m., Resident #49 was sitting on the side of his bed eating lunch.
He said the staff usually gave him some paperwork to take to dialysis and he brought it back. He said he
sometimes gave it to the van person or someone at the facility.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 10:37 a.m., the DON said the nurses sent communication forms with
Resident #49 to dialysis. She said she expected the nurses to do the pre and post-dialysis assessment to
ensure the resident was okay before and after dialysis. She said Resident #49 had a communication book,
but she wanted to change the process and start scanning them into his electronic medical records.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:22 a.m., the Administrator said all dialysis residents should have
communication sheets for any changes. She said the DON was the overseer of Dialysis.
Record review of the facility policy titled, End-Stage Renal Disease, Care of a Resident with . revised date
of September 2010, indicated, Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 1. Staff caring for residents with
ESRD, including residents receiving dialysis care outside the facility, shall be trained in the care and special
needs of these residents. 2. Education and training of staff includes, specifically: The type of assessment
data that is to be gathered about the resident's condition on a daily or per shift basis. Signs and symptoms
of worsening condition and/or complications of ESRD; Timing and administration of medications,
particularly those before and after dialysis; The care of grafts and fistulas; and the handling of waste. 3.
Education and training of staff in the care of ESRD/dialysis residents may be managed by the contracted
dialysis facility or by a clinician with special training in ESRD and dialysis care. 4. Agreements between this
facility and the contracted ESRD facility include all aspects of how the resident's care will be managed,
including: How the care plan will be developed and implemented and how information will be exchanged
between the facilities.

Provide care or services that was trauma informed and/or culturally competent.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents who are trauma survivors receive
culturally competent, trauma-informed care in accordance with professional standards of practice and
accounting for residents' experiences and preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may
cause re-traumatization of the resident for 1 of 3 residents (Resident # 49) reviewed for trauma-informed
care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure Resident #49 had a trauma screening upon admission that identified possible
triggers when Resident 49 had a history of trauma.
This failure could put residents at an increased risk for severe psychological distress due to
re-traumatization.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 11/07/24 indicated Resident #30 was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted
on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including stroke, Obstructive uropathy (a urinary tract
disorder that occurs when urine flow is obstructed, by either structurally, or functionally), anxiety (a feeling
of fear, dread, or uneasiness), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness),
and post-traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD (is a mental health condition that can develop after
a person experienced or witnessed a traumatic event).
Record review of a significant change in condition MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #30 rarely made
himself understood and rarely understood others. Resident #30 had severely impaired cognitive skills. The
MDS indicated Resident #30 required total dependence on transfers, dressing, toileting, bed mobility,
personal hygiene, bathing, and eating. The MDS for Resident #30 indicated he had PTSD.
Record review of the care plan revised on 11/06/24 indicated Resident #30 was at risk for adverse
consequences related to administering medication for the diagnosis of anxiety and post-traumatic stress
disorder. The interventions were to give medication as ordered. The care plan did not indicate any triggers.
Record review of Resident #30's trauma assessment was not located in his electronic medical records.
During an attempted interview on 11/04/24 at 9:01 a.m., Resident #30 was lying in his bed. He did not
respond when asked about his history of trauma.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 9:40 AM, the Social Worker said she was not sure of the process for
trauma-informed care. The Social Worker said she was new to the facility and had only been employed for a
few weeks. The Social Worker said she thought the trauma assessments should have been completed on
admission and quarterly. The Social Worker said Resident 30's assessment should have been completed.
The Social Worker said it was important to ensure trauma assessments were completed to ensure the
residents' needs were met and they were safe and comfortable.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 10:25 a.m., the MDS nurse said the previous SW did the care plans on
trauma. She said she was the overseer of care plans and should have ensured Resident #30 had

things not to do and how to help him through his triggers.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 10:37 a.m., the DON said the SW was responsible for the
trauma-informed care assessment. She said the trauma assessment was done to see if a resident had any
underlying trauma or behaviors. She said she was not sure if the MDS nurse or the SW put the
PTSD/trauma care on the care plan. She said she was not aware Resident #30 did not have a trauma
assessment done on admission as she was new to the facility. The DON said it was important for any
triggers to be on the care plan so staff would know how to address them and provide the resident with the
best care for their overall well-being.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:22 a.m., the Administrator said it was important for the trauma
assessment to be completed and for staff to have access to that information so they could accurately meet
the resident's needs.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Trauma Informed Care last revised 12/2019, indicated, Policy: The
facility ensures residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care in
accordance with professional standards of practice. The care accounts for residents' experiences and
preferences in order to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause re-traumatization of the resident.
Resident-Care Strategies: #1 As part of the comprehensive assessment, identify the history of trauma or
interpersonal violence when possible. Identifying past trauma or adverse experiences may involve record
review or the use of screening tools.

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, interview and record review, the facility failed to establish a system of receipt and disposition of
all controlled drugs in sufficient detail to enable accurate reconciliation and determine that drug records
were in order and that an account of all controlled drugs were maintained and periodically reconciled for 1
of 1 storage area reviewed for expired and discontinued medications.
The facility failed to keep a record of receipt of controlled medications awaiting disposition to allow accurate
and periodic reconciliation.
This failure could place residents at risk for loss of prescribed medications, resident's safety, and drug
diversion.
Findings included:
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 09:54 AM, the following medications were observed in a
basket located inside the controlled medication closet located inside the DONs office, and were awaiting to
be disposed:
*Ativan/Benadryl 1mg/25mg/ml gel- 25 mls RX# 363926/001
*Hydrocodone-apap 5-325mg tablet (label 1 of 3)- 8 tablets RX# 400219
*Hydrocodone-apap 5-325mg tablet (label 2 of 3)- 60 tablets RX# 400219
*Alprazolam 0.25mg tablet- 52 tablets RX# 423615
*Tramadol 50mg tablet- 6 tablets RX 123278
The DON said the controlled medications awaiting to be disposed were kept in the closet behind the locked
door and lock. The DON said she was the only one with the key to the door and lock. The DON said her
process when she reconciled medications that need to be disposed of was as follows: when medications
were brought to her, she checked the narcotic medication count and verified the count with the nurse, the
nurse and herself signed the narcotic sheet, logged the medication on the destruction log that was kept
with the medications, then she placed the medication in the double locked closet. The DON said she had
not found where the facility kept a copy of the blank destruction log so she could log the medications. The
DON said she was the only person with the keys therefore medications would not come up missing. The
DON said she was responsible for ensuring narcotic medications were being logged.
During an interview on [DATE] at 09:48 AM, the Administrator said she expected narcotic medications to be
logged and locked up appropriately. The Administrator said she expected the narcotic medications to be
logged so they were appropriately accounted for. The Administrator said there were no risks for not logging
the narcotic medications as the DON was the only one with the key. The Administrator said the DON was
responsible for accurately reconciling the narcotic medications.

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 it was free of medication error rate
of 5 percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 24.24%, based on 8 errors out of 33
opportunities, which involved 2 of 6 residents (Resident #4 and Resident #25) reviewed for medication
administration.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #4 medications were administered during the scheduled time on
11/04/24.
The facility failed to ensure LVN appropriately dosed Resident #25's MiraLAX on 11/05/24.
These failures could place residents at risk for not receiving the intended therapeutic benefit of their
medications or receiving them as prescribed, per physician orders.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #4's face sheet dated 11/06/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #4 had diagnoses which included
dementia (memory loss), depression (persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), chronic pain,
essential hypertension (high blood pressure), and congestive heart failure (an impairment in the heart's
ability to fill with and pump blood).
Record review of Resident #4's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #4 was able
to make herself understood and understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #4 had a
BIMS score of 6, indicating her cognition was severely impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident
#4 received scheduled pain medication and did not have pain within the last 5 days of the look back period.
The MDS assessment indicated Resident #4 had received an anticoagulant and a diuretic within the last 7
days of the 7-day look back period.
Record review of Resident #4's comprehensive care plan dated 10/04/24, indicated Resident #4 had
polyosteoarthritis (arthritis that affects multiple joints simultaneously) and was at risk for increased
discomfort. The comprehensive care plan also indicated Resident #4 had congestive heart failure and
hypertension. The care plan interventions included to administer medications as prescribed.
Record review of Resident #4's physician order report dated 10/06/24-11/06/24, indicated Resident #4 had
the following orders:
*Bumetanide 1mg give one tablet by mouth once a day with a start date of 05/26/23.
*Vitamin D3 125mcg give one tablet once a day on Monday with a start date of 05/26/23
*Eliquis 2.5mg give one tablet twice a day with a start date of 05/26/23.

Record review of Resident #25's comprehensive care plan dated 11/01/24, did not address Resident #25's
diagnosis of constipation.
Record review of Resident #25's physician order report dated 10/06/24-11/06/24, indicated Resident #25
had an order for MiraLAX 17grams/dose give 17 grams by mouth once a day with a start date of 10/26/24.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #25's medication administration record dated 11/01/24-11/06/24 indicated
Resident #25 had received MiraLAX 17gram by mouth daily.
During an observation on 11/05/24 at 08:22 AM, LVN A opened the MiraLAX bottle and poured the
MiraLAX in a medicine cup between the 15ml-20ml lines. LVN A failed to use the MiraLAX cap as instructed
on the directions on label of the MiraLAX bottle to obtain the 17 grams as prescribed.
During an interview on 11/06/24 at 1:27 PM, LVN A said she was responsible for administering the
medications to the entire facility. LVN A said by administering medications late could cause the medications
to be less effective. LVN A said if medications were ordered more than one time a day, it could cause
medications to be administered to close to the second dose. LVN A said she was responsible for ensuring
medications were administered as scheduled. LVN A said she should have administered Resident #4's
Tylenol as ordered and failure to do so could have caused Resident #4 pain. LVN A said the medications
rights were the right time, right dosage, right amount, right resident and right route. LVN A said no one
trained her on the medication pass when she started in October of 2024. LVN A said had told the DON and
the Administrator the medication load was too heavy for one person and medications were not being given
on time. LVN A said they had the liberalized medication pass and the one-hour rule before and after still
applied. LVN A said she should have used the cap on the MiraLAX bottle for the measurement of the
MiraLAX for Resident #25. LVN A said failure to do so could have resulted in either under or over
administration of the prescribed dosage. LVN A said she was responsible for ensuring the correct dosage
was administered.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 09:30 AM, the DON said she had not received any reports that LVN A
was having any issues. The DON said the pharmacy consultant had reported LVN A was doing great. The
DON said she was unable to answer the risks of what could occur with medication being administered late.
The DON said by Resident #4 not receiving the Tylenol as ordered she could potentially be in pain. The
DON said she expected LVN A to have used the lid of the MiraLAX bottle to measure Resident #25's
MiraLAX, as it was to have been used for the correct measurement. The DON said by not using the lid of
the MiraLAX, Resident #4 could have received the incorrect amount and could have caused Resident #4
constipation. The DON said the medication aide, nurse, and herself were responsible for ensuring the
medications were given on time and by physician orders.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 09:48 AM, the Administrator said she expected medications to be given
correctly and in a timely manner. The Administrator said the DON and the clinical staff oversaw the
medication pass. The Administrator said since the MiraLAX was not given as prescribed the resident could
potentially be given the incorrect dosage. The Administrator said she was unable to answer the risks of
what could happen for medications not being administered on time. The Administrator said the medication
aide was responsible for ensuring medications were being administered as scheduled and per physician
orders.

scoop that was needed was documented on the dietary spreadsheet. The Dietary Manager said she posted
the colors of each scoop size on the window in front of the serving table. The Dietary Manager looked at the
scoop size that was being used to serve the chicken alfredo and said a 6oz scoop was being used. The
Dietary Manager said an 8 oz scoop was needed to be used instead of the 6 oz per the spreadsheet. The
Dietary Manager said she was responsible for ensuring the correct scoop size was being used and failure
to do so placed the residents at risk for receiving less food.

spreadsheet she saw it said to use a 6oz scoop for the chicken alfredo. [NAME] E went and looked at the
spreadsheet again and said it indicated to use an 8 oz scoop. [NAME] E said she was responsible for
ensuring the correct scoop was being used and failure to do so placed the residents at risk for not receiving
enough food.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 9:30 AM, the DON said she expected the Dietary staff to use the correct
size scoop so residents could receive the correct portions. The DON said failure to use the correct scoop
size placed residents at risk for not receiving the nutrition intended. The DON said the Dietary Manager and
the Dietician Consultant were responsible for ensuring the correct scoop size was being used to serve the
resident's meals.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 9:48 AM, the Administrator said she expected the dietary staff to read
the menu and use the correct scoop size. The Administrator said if the dietary staff noticed an error, they
needed to correct it immediately so the residents could receive the correct amount of food. The
Administrator said all residents were provided with the correct nutritional value of their food and they could
always provide an alternate or give them more food if necessary. The Administrator said the Dietary
Manager and the [NAME] were responsible for ensuring the correct scoop size was being used when
serving the meals.

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 #1) reviewed for hospice services.
The facility did not ensure Resident #1's updated plan of care and most recent medication list from the
hospice were a part of their current medical 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 included:
Record review of the face sheet, dated 11/07/24, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis that included Alzheimer's disease (neurological disorder
that involves irreversible worsening changes in the ability to think and remember).
Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/29/24, reflected Resident #1 had clear speech
and was usually understood by others. The MDS reflected Resident #1 was usually able to understand
others. The MDS reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 1, which indicated severe cognitive
impairment. The MDS reflected Resident #1 had no behaviors or refusal of care. The MDS reflected
Resident #1 received hospice services while a resident at the facility.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan, revised 10/04/24, reflected Resident #1 had a terminal
illness and was receiving hospice services.
Record review of the general order, start date 06/30/23, reflected Resident #1 had an order for hospices
care and services.
Record review of the hospice binder, accessed on 11/07/24, reflected Resident #1's most current plan of

weeks.
Record review of the hospice binder, accessed on 11/07/24, reflected Resident #1's most current hospice
medication report was completed on 09/17/24.
During an interview on 11/07/24 beginning at 11:48 AM, LVN D said hospice binders were kept at the
nurses' station. LVN D stated the hospice paperwork was kept on the tablets brought in by the hospice staff.
LVN D stated she was required to sign the hospice tablet when the hospice staff came to the facility. LVN
was unsure if physical copies of the information was kept at the facility. LVN D stated she only signed the
tablets and did not really deal with the paperwork in the hospice binders. LVN D stated someone in
management probably dealt with that.
