chronic kidney disease (a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as
they should).
Record review of Resident #107's MDS assessment, dated 09/10/24, revealed the Resident #107 had a
BIMS score of 04 indicating severe cognitive impairment.
Observation on 02/03/25 at 11:45 AM with Resident #107 in her room revealed the ceiling vent was dusty,
and there were black marks on the ceiling around the vent opening.
During an observation and interview on 02/03/25 at 11:53 AM with Resident #107 revealed that she was
alert and sitting in her wheelchair and was coughing. Resident #107 stated that she had been coughing a
lot lately. She reported that she did not know that there was dust in the vent above her bed and that may be
the reason why she had been coughing lately. She reported that since she has been at the facility, she
cannot remember if staff have cleaned the A/C vent above her bed. She stated that she wanted someone to
come into her room and clean the A/C vent above her bed now that she noticed the dust on the vent but did
not know who to contact to clean the A/C vent.
In an interview with Maintenance Director on 02/05/25 at 9:07 AM in the 100 Hallway revealed that there
were several rooms in the 100 Hallway that had dusty A/C vents. He stated that he would speak with one of
his staff members in Maintenance and he would have them come to the Conference Room to discuss the
dirty A/C vents in the 100 Hallway. He reported that the Maintenance and Housekeeping Departments are
both responsible for ensuring that the A/C vents were clean in the residents' rooms.
In an interview with Maintenance Staff L on 02/05/25 at 9:15 AM in the 100 Hallway revealed that he had
been employed at the facility for almost 7 years. He stated that his supervisor notified him that it was
brought to his attention by a State Surveyor that the A/C vents in the residents' rooms on the 100 Hallway
were not clean. He stated that he was unaware that the A/C vents were not clean until it was brought to his
attention. He stated that staff are required to complete a Maintenance Request in the Maintenance Log on
issues such as dirty A/C vents. He stated that the Maintenance Request Log was located at the Nurses
Station on the 100 Hallway. He stated that he has not seen any requests in the Maintenance Log regarding
the A/C vents needing to be cleaned on the 100 Hallway. He reported that the Maintenance Director will
give each Maintenance Staff member a sheet with their Work Orders, and he will complete the Work Orders
as they are completed. Maintenance Staff L was shown the A/C vents in Resident #27, Resident #99 and
Resident #107 rooms. Maintenance Staff L agreed that the A/C vents in the rooms he observed were not
clean. He stated that it is the responsibility of the Nursing Staff to notify the Maintenance and
Housekeeping Departments if there is something like dust in the A/C vents in a resident's room. He stated
that both departments work hand in hand with each other regarding keeping the A/C vents in residents'
rooms clean. He stated he would take full responsibility for making sure that the A/C vents in the 100
Hallway are cleaned, and he would be working closely with the staff to ensure they were cleansed on a
regular basis. He stated the risk of the ceiling vents being unclean is that if the dust blew onto residents
they could be affected, especially those allergic to dust and have breathing issues. He also stated resident's
rooms should be clean and safe.
Record Review of the facility's Maintenance Request Log at the 100 Hall's Nurses Station, revealed no
entries regarding dusty A/C vents in the 100 Hallway.

employed at the facility for 8 months. She stated that her primary assignment was the 100 Hallway. She
reported that she has not noticed that the A/C vents covers above the beds of residents in A bed were not
clean. She stated that if she was to observe the A/C vents in a resident's room not clean, she would notify
Maintenance and complete the Maintenance Request in the Maintenance Log at the Nurses Station. She
stated that if the A/C vents in resident's room are not cleaned on a regular basis, residents can be at risk
for respiratory infection from the dust being clogged up in the vents and breathing issues and/or problems.
She stated that dirty A/C vents can cause a resident to having breathing issues, which can lead or cause
lung issues due to the resident or residents not being able to breath properly.
In an interview with CNA N on 02/05/25 at 1:38 PM revealed that he stated that he had been employed at
the facility for 2 years. He reported that he was unaware that the A/C vents covers about the beds of
residents in A bed were not clean. He stated that Housekeeping was responsible for ensuring that the A/C
vents in residents' rooms are cleaned. He reported that he could not recall the last time that anyone from
the Housekeeping Department cleaned the A/C vents in residents' rooms. He stated that if he notices that
the A/C vents are not cleaned, he will report it to Maintenance via completing the Maintenance Request
Log. CNA N reported that the Maintenance Request Logs for the 100 Hallway are kept at the Nurses
Station. He stated that if the A/C vents in a resident's room was not cleaned regularly, it can cause for the
resident or residents in the room to have respiratory issues. He stated that the residents could be harmed
by not being able to breathe, having breathing issues and can cause them to have allergies.
In an interview with Housekeeping Supervisor on 02/05/25 at 2:39 PM revealed he was unaware that
Resident #27, Resident #99, and Resident #107 and majority of the rooms on the 100 Hallway had unclean
A/C vents. He stated that his department alongside the Maintenance Departments are responsible for the
cleaning and upkeep of the air vents with help from the housekeepers. He reported that there was not a
schedule of when the A/C vents are to be cleaned. He stated that the last time the A/C vents in residents'
rooms on the 100 Hallway was a week ago. He reported that his Housekeepers, which include about 13
staff members should be cleaning the A/C vents, as needed when they make their daily rounds to each
resident's room. He stated he did not have any reason why the vents in the residents' rooms in the 100
Hallway were dirty. He stated residents should reside in a clean and safe environment. He stated that if the
A/C vents in the residents' rooms are not cleaned, there was a risk for residents to have infections caused
by breathing in dust and inhaling dust can get into a person's lungs and was not good for anyone especially
if they already have breathing issues and are on oxygen.
In an interview with the DON on 02/05/25 at 2:52 PM revealed that he was unaware that the A/C vents
covers above the beds of residents in A bed in the 100 Hallway were not dusty and unclean. He reported
that his staff are to do Q2 rounds, or as needed in the 100 Hallway. He reported that his expectation was
that staff notify himself, management or housekeeping if they observe something like the A/C vent covers
needing to be cleaned or any repairs that need to be done. He stated that the Maintenance Log at the
Nurses Station on the 100 Hallway would be used for something such as dusty A/C vents. He stated that
the responsibility of the A/C vents being cleaned falls upon the Maintenance and Housekeeping
departments, not his nursing staff. DON stated that the A/C vents in a resident's room were not a risk for
infection and everyone's vents in their homes, including new build homes and the State Surveyors homes
were probably not clean and dirty. He stated that there was a potential for harm due to the A/C vents being
harmful, but dust was in everyone's vents any place you go. He stated that going forward, he would have
his staff put in any work orders regarding the cleaning or the A/C vents. He stated, he will relay to his staff,
if it doesn't seem right, fix it.

(Resident #90) reviewed for PASRR Level I screenings.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility's PASRR Level 1 Screening dated 10/25/2023 had no indicators of dementia as a primary
diagnosis or evidence of mental illness, the PASRR did not correctly identify Resident #90 as having a
mental illness of bipolar disorder onset date 10/25/2023 when the facility did not complete a new PASRR
Level I Screening.
This failure placed residents at risk of not receiving adequate services or care related to mental illnesses.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #90's admission Record dated 2/5/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old male was
originally admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #90's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected he had a BIMS score
of 00 indicating severe cognitive impairment. His diagnoses included non-Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety
disorder, depression, bipolar depression, and psychotic disorder.
Record review of Resident #90's Diagnoses Report dated 2/5/25 reflected his primary diagnosis was
muscle wasting and atrophy-onset date 1/30/24. His secondary diagnoses included: bipolar disorder-onset
date 10/25/23; major depressive disorder-onset date 10/25/23; and unspecified dementia-onset date
10/25/23.
Record review of Resident #90's PASRR Level 1 Screening dated 10/25/23 reflected there were no
indicators of dementia as a primary diagnosis or evidence of mental illness.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 11:43 AM, MDS Coordinator J stated he had submitted the PASRR
information for Resident #90. He stated he submitted the information as it was provided to him from
Resident #90's previous facility, and he was not allowed to change it. He stated he only completed the
PASRR on admission and the resident was negative due to dementia. He denied ever sending a correction
form.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 12:49 PM MDS Coordinator J stated he should have submitted a
correction form upon noting the resident's mental illness diagnoses. He stated he had initiated a correction
and submitted it to the physician for review. MDS Coordinator K stated, if they receive a PASRR that was
incorrect, they were supposed to contact the provider who sent the PASRR and request a corrected one.
She stated, if the provider failed to send a corrected form, they submitted the one they were provided along
with a State Form 1012 to determine if a correction was needed.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 2:56 PM, the DON stated the MDS nurses were responsible for ensuring
the PASRRs were complete and accurate. He stated the risk for incorrect PASRRs was residents may not
get access to services for which they qualify.

PASRR concerns and would ensure they were corrected. She stated the MDS Nurses were responsible for
the submission of PASRR documents. She stated the risk to residents was they may not get additional

Record review of the facility's policy titled, Pre-admission Screening Resident Review (PASRR) dated
revised 06/2020 reflected: Purpose: To ensure that all facility applicants are screened for mental illness
and/or intellectual disability prior to admission and to ensure this assessment effort is coordinated with the
appropriate state agencies if indicated .Policy: I. The Facility, as a Medicaid certified nursing facility, that
Level I of the Preadmission Screening Resident Review (PASRR) is completed prior to admission of all
applicants, regardless of payor, to determine if they have a Mental Disorder (MD) or Intellectually Disables
(ID) .V. A negative Level I PASRR permits admission to proceed and ends the PASARR process, unless a
possible serious mental disorder or intellectual disability arises later. A positive Level I screen necessitates
an in-depth evaluation of the individual by the state-designated authority, known as PASARR Level II, which
must be conducted prior to admission to a nursing facility .

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
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for each
resident that included instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that
met professional standards of care within 48 hours of the resident's admission for one (Resident #221) of
five residents reviewed for baseline care plans.
The facility failed to complete Resident #227's baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission that included
the minimum required healthcare information including physician orders, dietary orders, therapy services,
and social services. Resident #227 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and her baseline care plan was
not completed until 02/03/25.
This failure placed residents at risk of not receiving effective and person-centered care.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #221's Face Sheet, dated 02/05/25, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female, who
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including acute on chronic diastolic heart failure (a
sudden worsening of symptoms related to diastolic heart failure) and methicillin resistant staphylococcus
aureus infection (a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat
ordinary staph infections).
Review of Resident #221's electronic medical record on 02/05/25 reflected Resident #221's Baseline Care
Plan was not completed until 02/03/25.
During an interview with ADON E on 02/05/25 at 1:35PM, she stated she was under the impression that
baseline care plans were required to be completed within 72 hours of a resident's admission. She stated
Resident #221 was admitted on Friday, 01/31/25, and her baseline care plan was completed on Monday,
02/03/25. She said there was not a plan in place to ensure baseline care plans were completed for new
admissions over the weekend, as baseline care plans were completed by various department heads. ADON
E stated she did not believe there was a risk in baseline care plans not being completed within the required
48 hours of admission.
Review of the facility's Care Planning policy, dated 06/2020, reflected, .The Facility will develop a
person-centered Baseline Care Plan for each resident within 48 hours of admission .

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent of
bladder received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to restore
continence to the extent possible for one of three residents (Resident #1) reviewed for incontinence care.
1. The facility failed to ensure CNA B thoroughly cleaned Resident #1 during incontinence care.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving care appropriate to address their incontinence and
could increase the risk of urinary tract infections.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated 01/14/25, reflected he was a [AGE]
year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His BIMs score was 5 indicating his cognitive status was
severely impaired. His diagnoses included heart failure, renal failure, and diabetes. The resident was
dependent on staff for toileting. The resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Record review of Resident #1's care plans, dated 04/02/23 reflected:
The resident had an ADL Self Care Performance Deficit related to impaired balance.
Facility interventions included: The resident required 1 staff participation for toileting.
There was no documentation to indicate Resident #1 did not want his penis cleaned.
An observation on 02/04/25 at 1:50 PM revealed Resident #1 was lying in bed. His brief was soiled with
urine and bowel movement. CNA B folded down the resident's brief and cleaned the peri-area and the inner
thighs of the resident. The CNA did not clean the penis or the foreskin. CNA B rolled the resident over and
cleaned his buttocks. The CNA folded the brief under the resident. The CNA did not change gloves or
perform hand hygiene. The CNA grabbed a new brief and placed it under the resident. The CNA started to
fasten the brief. The Surveyor asked if the CNA was going to clean the resident's penis and she said no.
CNA B fastened the brief and left the room.
An interview on 02/04/25 at 2:00 PM revealed CNA B said she did not clean Resident #1's penis because
he did not like his penis to be cleaned. CNA B did say it was important to clean the penis to reduce
infection.
An interview on 02/04/25 at 2:07 PM with the Infection Preventionist revealed staff were supposed to clean
the penis when performing incontinence care for a man. She said it was important to keep the penis clean
to prevent infection and yeast.
An interview on 02/05/25 at 12:54 PM with the DON revealed staff were supposed to clean the penis when
performing incontinence care for a man. He said it was important to keep the penis clean to prevent

The facility failed to ensure Resident #78 received the correct dosage of morphine 15 mg as ordered by his
physician on 11/19/2023 when the pharmacy delivered morphine ER (extended release) 15 mg tablets on
01/09/2024. The medication had been signed as administered 37 times between 1/15/25 and 2/5/25. The
discrepancy had not been detected until surveyor inquiry on 02/05/2025.
This failure placed the residents at risk of not receiving medications as ordered by the physician and a not
receiving the intended therapeutic effect of their medications.

Resident #78 who was observed sitting up in his room in his wheelchair.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an observation and interview on 2/5/25 at 7:51 AM, LVN I stated she usually worked another hall but
was helping on Resident #78's hall that day. Resident #78's morphine card and narcotic sign out sheet was
reviewed along with the orders. Both the medication card and sign out sheet reflected morphine sulfate ER
15 mg and the order reflected morphine sulfate 15 mg. LVN I stated she had overlooked the discrepancy
and had already administered the medication that morning. She stated the risk of administering an ER dose
instead of immediate release was the medication would take longer to get in your system and would stay in
your system longer than intended.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 7:55 AM, the DON stated he was unaware of the discrepancy between
Resident #78's morphine orders and the medications received. He stated he would research the issue.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 8:22 AM, the DON stated they had called Resident #78's physician and his
morphine was always supposed to be extended release and had been on previous orders. He stated there
had been a transcription error with a reorder of the medication and it should have been caught sooner
when the medication dose received did not match the order. He stated the risk of medication errors
depended upon the medication and could cause unintended consequences or side effects. The DON stated
LVN C usually worked night shift and had been picking up an extra shift on 2/4/25.
On 2/5/25 at 8:31 AM, an attempt to reach LVN C via telephone for an interview was unsuccessful. A
voicemail message was left.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:10 AM, ADON E stated she had called Resident #78's pain physician
about his morphine order and reported the administration of the ER doses. She stated the physician sent
the order for the medication straight to the pharmacy himself and the order should have been extended
release all along. She stated he told her to correct the order in the computer to reflect ER. ADON E stated
the nurse should have caught the error while administering the medication because the orders are to be
checked against the medication every time it was administered. She stated the Charge Nurses were
responsible for ensuring the medications in their carts were correct and the risk was adverse effects and
not receiving the therapeutic effect needed.
On 2/5/25 at 2:47 PM, another attempt to reach LVN C via telephone for an interview was unsuccessful. A
voicemail message was left.
During an interview with the DON on 2/5/25 at 10:46 AM stated when medications were received from the
pharmacy, the nurse checking in the medications was responsible for checking the actual medication
received against the manifest provided by the pharmacy. He stated they were checking to ensure the
correct amount of medication was received. The DON stated whatever nurse stocked the cart was
responsible for ensuring the medications matched the orders. He stated, ultimately the Charge Nurse was
responsible for ensuring the medications administered matched the order from the physician.
On 2/5/25 at 2:47 PM, another attempt to reach LVN C via telephone for an interview was unsuccessful. A
voicemail message was left.
During an observation and interview on 2/5/25 at 3:04 PM, RN H stated she worked PRN and had worked
on Resident #78's hall the previous week. She reviewed Resident #78's morphine sign-out sheet and
orders and stated she had administered the dose on 2/3/25. She stated she had overlooked the
discrepancy between the extended and immediate release order and should have called for a clarification.

An observation and interview during medication pass on 2/4/25 at 7:12 AM revealed MA F stated she was
preparing medications for Resident #107. She sanitized her hands, donned gloves and checked the
resident's blood pressure which read 132/88. MA F sanitized the BP cuff and her hands and began to pour
the medications. She poured the Depakote 125 mg 1 tablet, Apixaban 5 mg 1 tablet, multivitamin with
minerals 1 tablet, Senna plus 8.6/50 mg 1 tablet; lisinopril 23 mg 1 tab, and magnesium oxide 250 mg 1
tablet into the same cup. She then poured all the tablets together into a small plastic bag, crushed them
together and poured them back into a medication dose cup. She retrieved a container of yogurt and stated
she was going to mix the yogurt with the medications because that was how Resident #107 preferred to
swallow them. She was asked to check the order for Depakote and how she determined which medications
could be crushed. MA F stated, according to the nurse, the medications can be crushed if the resident can't
swallow. She can't swallow pills well so it's ok to crush them. She stated if a medication can't be crushed,
the pharmacy will send them in liquid form, these are OK. When the medication card was reviewed with MA
F, she stated she did not know what DR meant and she had not had any guidance on it. She stated, We
can crush the med unless the order says not to. She checked her MAR on her computer and stated it did
not say we can't crush.
Resident #107's Charge Nurse, RN G approached and was asked about crushing medications. She stated
some medications cannot be crushed and they were usually noted by the pharmacy. She reviewed
Resident #107's Depakote medication card with MA F and pointed out the instructions that reflected do not
crush medication and DO NOT CRUSH OR CHEW printed on the label. RN G stated the medication was
delayed release and should not be crushed because the dose would be given all at once and not slowly.
She stated there was a risk for adverse side effects. MA F stated she had missed the notes when she
poured the medication. She discarded the poured medications and repoured and crushed all the

Residents Affected - Some
crushing extended or delayed release medications is the resident would receive all the medication at once
instead of over a period of time which could result in too much medication received and too short of a
duration period.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 8:22 AM, the DON stated they had called Resident #78's physician and his
morphine was always supposed to be extended release. He stated there had been a transcription error with
a reorder of the medication and it should have been caught sooner when the medication dose did not
match the order. He stated the risk of medication errors depended upon the medication and could cause
unintended consequences or side effects. He stated administering Geri-kot (generic form of Senekot which
only contained senna) instead of Senna plus meant the resident did not get the added docusate and had
an increased risk of constipation. The DON stated LVN C usually worked night shift and had been picking
up an extra shift on 2/4/25.
On 2/5/25 at 8:31 AM, an attempt to reach LVN C via telephone for an interview was unsuccessful. A
voicemail message was left.
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:10 AM, ADON E stated she had called Resident #78's pain physician
about his morphine order and reported the administration of the ER dose. She stated the physician sent the
order for the medication straight to the pharmacy himself and the order should have been extended release
all along. She stated he told her to correct the order in the computer to reflect ER. ADON E stated the nurse
should have caught the error while administering the medication because the orders are to be checked
against the medication every time it was administered. She stated the Charge Nurses were responsible for
ensuring the medications in their carts were correct and the risk was adverse effects. ADON E stated she
was aware of Resident #107's medication error where the MA crushed a delayed release tablet. She stated
the risk was adverse effects of the medication, receiving too much at once and not getting the therapeutic
effect of a longer acting medication.
On 2/5/25 at 2:47 PM, another attempt to reach LVN C via telephone for an interview was unsuccessful. A
voicemail message was left.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Oral Medication Administration, dated revised 08/2020 reflected:

underneath the resident. CNA A did not change her gloves or perform hand hygiene. CNA A grabbed a
clean brief and placed it under the resident. The resident was turned back, and the CNA pulled out the used
brief, fastened the clean brief, and repositioned the resident.
An interview on 02/04/25 at 1:10 PM with CNA A revealed she only needed to change her gloves and
perform hand hygiene after completing the incontinence care. She said she was the only staff changing the
resident and did not know how she was supposed to change her gloves and perform hand hygiene if

he did not like his penis to be cleaned. CNA B said it was important to clean the penis to reduce infection.
CNA B said she did not know why she did not change her gloves and perform hand hygiene but had been
trained to. She said failure to change gloves and perform hand hygiene could cause infection.
An observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 1:27 PM of Medication Cart #1 revealed the back of the pill
crusher was dirty. It had dust, rust, and a dirt-looking substance on it. LVN C said he cleaned it after use

infection down. The Infection Preventionist said the nurses were responsible for cleaning the pill crushers
after using them. She said the use of dirty pill crushers could cause infection.
An interview on 02/05/25 at 12:54 PM with the DON and Administrator revealed staff were supposed to
change gloves and perform hand hygiene after cleaning the resident to prevent potential infection. The DON
said the nurse was responsible for cleaning the exterior portion of the pill crusher. The DON said there was
no risk of infection with using dirty pill crushers because the medications were kept in strong pill crusher
plastic bags. The facility Administrator and DON did not know about the washing machine door seals being
dirty. The Administrator said she would have to talk with maintenance and the vendor to find out how to
clean it. The DON said he would need to look at it to see if there was any risk to the resident.
