F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete review of Resident #3's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], reflected Resident #3 was rarely or never understood.

During an observation and interview on 02/23/2026 from 08:51 a.m. to 09:25 a.m., Resident #3, was initially observed in bed asleep. During medication administration, she woke up and was observed to be non-verbal.

LPN D stated the call light having been out of Resident #3's reach could definitely impact her if Resident #3 was able to use it. LPN D clipped the call button to the bed prior to leaving the room. During an interview on 02/23/2026 at 04:00 p.m., the DON stated she had always been taught that call lights were to be in reach of the residents. The DON stated the expectation was for call lights to be in reach of the residents. She stated the impact of a call light out of reach was that it could result in the residents' needs not being addressed in a timely manner. She stated at shift change or start of shift, the nurses were expected to check the more critical residents, and the CNAs, should have been completing a walkthrough on all their assigned residents, which would include checking the location of the call lights. The DON stated the facility did not have a policy on call lights. During an interview on 02/23/2026 at 04:27 p.m., the ADMIN stated his expectation was for the call lights to be within reach of the residents. He stated that even if a resident was comatose, the call light should still be within reach. He stated the impact on a resident of a call light having been out of reach was that they resident might not be able to have timely assistance.

The facility failed to ensure Resident #4 did not have two (2) velphoro oral tablets (a phosphate binder, a medication used to control phosphorus levels in the blood) at the bedside. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of medication misuse or drug diversion.The findings included: Record review of Resident #4's admission Record, dated 02/20/2026, revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #4's Diagnosis Report, dated 02/23/2026, revealed diagnoses including end stage renal disease (the final stage of chronic kidney disease, where the kidneys lose nearly all their ability to filter waste in the blood), and dependence on renal dialysis (condition where patients are reliant on dialysis treatment due to the inability of their kidneys to adequately filter waste from the blood).

During an interview on 02/20/2026 at 10:52 a.m., RN F stated the impact for Resident #4 if he did not want to take his phosphate binder, was that his phosphate levels could be high.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete binders were supposed to be watched by staff when administered and swallowed. During an interview on 02/23/2026 at 04:00 p.m., the DON stated her expectation, if a resident refused to take a medication during administration, was for the staff to take the medication back and never leave a medication at a resident's bedside. She stated if a resident had a high enough BIMS, the resident would need to be assessed prior to being permitted to self-administer medications. She stated, as far as she was aware, the facility did not have any residents that were allowed to self-administer medications. She stated if a resident voiced that they wanted to self-administer medications, an assessment would have to be completed, the task could be care-planned with the resident, and the task would reflect on the resident's care plan. She stated the impact of a medication having been left at a resident's bedside was that the resident could overmedicate by taking the medication too close to the administration of the same medication from a different shift, double up on the phosphate binder, or another resident could find and take the medication, thinking the medication was candy or something. During an interview on 02/23/2026 at 04:27 p.m., the ADMIN stated that if Resident #4 was assessed to be capable of self-medicating, he should still have been care planned for that task. He stated his expectation was for a mention of self-medication to be the resident's care plan. The ADMIN stated that he would defer to the clinical staff to theorize on the impact a medication could have if left at a resident's bedside. Record review of the facility's policy, Medication Administration and General Guidelines, dated 2025, reflected: PolicyMedications are administered as prescribed, in accordance with State Regulations using good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so.Procedure1.

Record review of the facility's policy, Self-Administration of Medications by Residents Policy, undated, reflected: Each resident who desires to self-administer medication is permitted to do so if the facility's interdisciplinary team and/or facility policy allows or has determined that the practice would be safe for the resident and other residents of the facility.Procedure1. Each resident is offered the opportunity to self-administer his or her medications during the routine assessment by the facilities interdisciplinary team.2. If the resident desires to self-administer medications an assessment is conducted by the interdisciplinary team of the resident's cognitive, physical, and visual ability to carry out this responsibility.3. The interdisciplinary team determines the residents' ability to self-administer medications by means of completing the Self Administration of Medication assessment in PCC.4. The results of the interdisciplinary team assessment are recorded.8.The resident requests each dose from the medication nurse, who provides the medication to the resident in the unopened package for the resident to self-administer. The nurse then records such self-administration on the MAR in the manner described above. Event ID: Facility ID: 675823 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 5
