Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident was treated with
respect, dignity, and care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promoted the
maintenance or enhancement of their quality of life, recognizing each resident's individuality. The facility
failed to protect and promote the rights of the resident for 1 of 18 (Resident #33) residents reviewed for
resident rights.
CNA D failed to provide Resident #33 privacy during incontinent care.
This failure could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life and loss of dignity and self-worth.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #33's face sheet dated 01/13/24, revealed a [AGE] year-old male with an
original admission date of 07/19/24 with the following diagnoses: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (inability of the
body to use insulin properly), cerebral infarction (stroke), diverticulosis (digestive condition), cognitive
communication deficit (communication difficultly caused by cognitive impairment), dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing) and anxiety.
Record review of Resident #33's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS of 08, indicating mild
cognitive impairment. Section H-Bladder and Bowel revealed Resident #33 was always incontinent of bowel
and bladder.
Record review of Resident #33's comprehensive care plan revised on 07/25/24, revealed the resident was
incontinent with an intervention to provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode.
During an incontinent care observation on 01/07/25 at 10:51 AM for Resident #33, CNA D failed to pull the
privacy curtain before performing incontinent care, which placed the resident at risk of exposure if a staff
member or resident opened the door. During incontinent care, CNA D left Resident #33 uncovered while he
went to the resident's restroom to sanitize his hands between glove changes, which exposed the resident's
lower back and buttocks areas.
During an interview on 01/07/25 at 3:12 PM with CNA D, he stated he failed to properly provide privacy to
Resident #33 during incontinent care by not pulling the privacy curtain and not draping the resident when
he left the bedside to sanitize his hands. He stated he had been trained to provide privacy during
incontinent care, but he was rushing and got in too big of a hurry. CNA D stated he had

received privacy training from the DON and the ADON and through monthly training videos. He stated a
potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care was the resident could be exposed and
have a lack of privacy.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 11:38 AM with the ADM, she stated she was not aware that staff were
not providing proper privacy to residents during care. She stated all staff had been trained on privacy and
dignity by nursing administration. When asked what her expectation was for staff to provide privacy during
care, she stated, It is a big deal to me. A lot of people are modest, and I expect staff to always maintain the
residents' privacy. The ADM stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care
was that the resident would be embarrassed or have a decreased level of self-esteem.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 12:09 PM with the DON, she stated she was not aware that staff were
not providing proper privacy to residents during care, prior to survey. She stated privacy during care should
be provided to each resident by closing the door, pulling the privacy curtain, closing the blinds, and draping
the resident appropriately. She stated she was responsible to assure staff were trained on providing privacy
during care and training was conducted through in services as well as through monthly video trainings. The
DON stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide privacy during care was that resident dignity
was not intact.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure all residents had the right to formulate advance
directives for 1 of 15 residents (Resident #11) reviewed for advanced directives.
The facility failed to ensure Residents #11, who was listed as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), had an
Out-of-Hospital Do Not Resuscitate (OOH-DNR) form that did not have missed required information on the
OOH-DNR.
These failures could place residents at risk for not having their end of life wishes honored and incomplete
records.
Findings included:
Resident #11
Record review of Resident #11's undated face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old-female who was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and had diagnosisies which included Cerebral infarction (lack of blood supply to the
brain), Dementia (irreversible that causes mental deterioration) and Type 2 Diabetes (problem with blood
sugar). The face sheet indicated under the advance directive section - DNR-Do Not Resuscitate.
Record review of Resident #11's physician order summary dated 01/08/24 reflected the following order:
DNR-Do Not Resuscitate dated 05/19/23.
Record review of Resident #11's care plan, dated 12/05/24, reflected care plan for DNR.
Record review of Resident #11's OOH-DNR form dated 05/17/23 reflected there was no date that
accompanied one of the witness's signatures.
During an interview on 01/08/24 at 12:25pm with the SW, she stated OOH DNR was not valid if it's not filled
out correctly. She stated she was responsible for ensuring OOH-DNRs were completed correctly. She
verified missing information on OOH-DNR for Residents #11. She stated there was no system for
monitoring OOH-DNRs for accuracy. She stated the reason the DNR's were not complete was human error.
She stated she has been trained on OOH-DNRs. The SW stated the potential negative outcome for
residents if a DNR was not completed correctly was the Resident may not have their final wishes honored
and the facility may be taken to court.
During an interview on 01/08/24 at 1:05PM with the ADM, she stated the OOH DNR was not valid if not
filled out correctly. She stated the DON was responsible for making sure the OOH DNR was completed
accurately. She stated they did not have a system in place to monitor OOH DNR for accuracy. She stated
the DON should be reviewing the OOH DNRs for accuracy. She verified missing information on OOH DNR
for Residents #11. She stated she did not know why the information was missing. She stated the potential
negative outcome was the Resident's end of life wishes may not be honored. She stated she was trained on
how to complete OOH DNR and her expectations were for them to be filled out completely and be correct.

Record review of the Social Services Policies and Procedures Advanced Directives (Revised March 2021)
reflected the following:
Policy
Our facility will not use cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related emergency measures to maintain life
functions on a resident when there is a Do Not Resuscitate Order in effect.
A DNR order form must be completed and signed by the attending physician and resident or resident's
legal surrogate and placed in the front of the resident's medical record.
Should the resident be transferred to the hospital, a photocopy of the DNR order form must be provided to
the personnel transporting the resident to the hospital.
The DNR orders will remain in effect until the resident or legal surrogate provides the facility with a signed
and dated request to end the DNR order.
The interdisciplinary care planning team will review advance directives with the resident during quarterly
care planning sessions to determine if the resident wishes to make changes in such directives.
The resident's attending physician will clarify and present any relevant medical issues and decisions to the
resident or legal representative as the resident's condition changes to clarify and adhere to the resident's
wishes.
Inquiries concerning do not resuscitate orders/requests should be referred to the administrator, director of

following manufacturers' instructions. Disinfection is performed with an EPA-registered disinfectant labeled
for use in healthcare settings. All applicable label instructions on EPA registered disinfectant products are
followed (e.g., use-dilution, shelf life, storage, material compatibility, safe use and disposal).

Residents Affected - Few
Low-level disinfection is defined as the destruction of all vegetative bacteria (except tubercle bacilli) and
most viruses, some fungi, but not bacterial spores. Examples of low-level disinfectants include EPAregistered hospital disinfectants with a HBV and HIV label claim. Low-level disinfection is generally
appropriate for most non-critical equipment.
2.
Intermediate-level disinfection is traditionally defined as destruction of all vegetative bacteria, including
tubercle bacilli, lipid and some nonlipid viruses, and fungi, but not bacterial spores. EPA-registered hospital
disinfectants with a tuberculocidal claim are intermediate-level disinfectants. Intermediate-level disinfection
is considered for non-critical equipment that is visibly contaminated with blood. However, a low-level
disinfectant with a label claim against HBV and HIV may also be used.

and their representatives on their rights related to filing grievances or concerns for 9 of 15 confidential
residents.
The facility failed to ensure 9 of 15 confidential residents were provided, through postings in prominent
locations, the Grievance Procedure, were provided access to the Grievance form, were provided
information who the facility grievance official was, their contact information, how to file an anonymous
grievance, and their right to obtain a written decision related to their grievance.
This failure could place the residents at risk of unresolved grievances and decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Interviews and Record Review during Resident Council on, 01/07/2024 at 1:30pm, attendees 9 of 15
confidential residents, stated they did not have access to the Grievance form, they did not know they could
file a Grievance anonymously, the Grievance procedure had never been discussed in Resident Council,
and they had not observed a posting of the Grievance procedure in prominent locations. Residents
attending Resident Council did not know where to acquire a grievance form, who to turn the form into, and
what happened once a grievance was filed. The Residents did not know they had the right to receive a
written decision once their grievance was resolved. 9 Residents attended the meeting, the 9 Residents in
attendance had all been Residents of the facility for 6 plus months.
Observed and toured the facility; there were no Grievance forms available to Residents and there was no
access to submit a Grievance anonymously.
Interview with the ADM on 1/8/2024 at 1:05pm; the ADM stated she was the Grievance Officer for the
facility. The ADM stated she alone reviewed Grievances, assigned the Grievance to the appropriate
department head, ensured the resolution to the Grievance was documented on the Grievance form, and
she followed up with the resident and their family members to inform them of the resolution to the
Grievance. The ADM stated the form was kept in her office and at each of the nurses' station. The ADM
stated she did not remember informing the Residents or the Activities Director of the location of the
Grievance form. The ADM stated she was not aware Residents needed access to the Grievance form and
she was not aware the Residents needed an avenue to submit a Grievance anonymously. The ADM stated
she completed Grievance forms for residents, Residents did not ask for forms or complete them on their
own. The ADM stated there were no procedures for Residents to submit Grievances anonymously. The
ADM stated she addressed Grievances immediately and she expected department heads to address
Grievances immediately. The ADM stated she did not know what the facility policy stated the timeframe was
for Grievances to be addressed. The resolution for all Grievances were documented on the Grievance form
and the completed form was submitted to the ADM for review. The ADM stated completed Grievance forms
were kept in a notebook for 3 years. The ADM stated she monitored the Grievance process for success by
following up with the staff member assigned to resolve the Grievance, the ADM stated she also met with
the complainant to ensure they were satisfied with the resolution. The ADM stated she was responsible for
ensuring staff were trained on the Grievance process. The ADM stated she was not aware the Grievance
procedure was not being discussed in Resident Council.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment
remained as free of accident hazards as was possible for 1 of 15 Residents (Resident #16).
The facility failed to store Resident #16's portable oxygen tank properly when not in use.
These failures could place residents at risk for avoidable injuries related to improperly storing a portable
oxygen tank.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #16's admission record, dated 01/08/25, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: end stage
renal disease (kidneys stopped working), heart failure, and chronic respiratory failure (breathing problems).
Record review of Resident #16's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/03/24, revealed a BIMS score of 13,
indicating Resident #16 had intact cognition. The MDS further revealed Resident #16 used a wheelchair
and was able to use his wheelchair independently.
Record review of Resident #16's order summary report, dated 01/08/24, revealed an order:
Oxygen: May have oxygen at 1-5L via cannula/mask by concentrator/tank. With a start date of 02/29/24.
During an observation on 01/07/25 at 2:23 PM in Resident #16's room revealed 1 portable oxygen tank
free-standing and resting up against the wall. The oxygen tank was stored sticking out from the wall on the
bottom with the top of the oxygen tank resting up against the wall and was not secure.
During an interview on 01/07/25 at 2:26 PM, the DON stated the portable oxygen tank should be stored in a
secure area. The DON stated a portable oxygen tank should be kept stored in a single cart with wheels or
in a cage that prevents the tank from tipping over.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 10:35 AM, Resident #16 stated the staff put a portable oxygen tank on
the back of his chair when he went to dialysis. Resident #16 stated he does not take the oxygen tank on
and off his wheelchair. Resident #16 stated staff took his oxygen tank on and off the back of his wheelchair
and stated he could not remember which staff member took his portable oxygen tank off yesterday.
Resident #16 stated sometimes staff left the oxygen tank in his room against a wall or they would take it
somewhere else.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 12:24 PM, the DON stated she was not sure exactly why the portable
oxygen tank was unsecured in Resident #16's. The DON stated the staff have been verbally trained on
properly securing the portable oxygen tanks. The DON stated a potential risk to the residents with a
portable oxygen tank not being secured was it could fall over and become a projectile missile.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 12:31 PM, the ADM stated she expected the portable oxygen tanks

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Record review of Resident #44's face sheet dated 01/07/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (disease causing
blood sugar to be elevated), peripheral vascular disease (circulatory condition causing reduced blood flow
to the limbs), cutaneous abscess of right foot (skin infection), hypertension (high blood pressure), complete
traumatic amputation at level between left hip and knee (surgical absence of left leg above the knee and
below the hip), respiratory failure with hypoxia (condition resulting in inadequate oxygen in the body's
tissues), respiratory distress syndrome (breathing condition causing low oxygen in the body), and muscle
weakness.

traumatic amputation at level between left hip and knee.
During a medication administration observation on 01/07/25 at 9:38 AM, for Resident #44, MA B dispensed
one (1) Gabapentin 100 mg capsule into a 30cc clear medication cup and administered the medication,
which resulted in Resident #44 being underdosed. MA B failed to verify the medication with the order prior
to administering the medication.
During an interview with MA B on 01/07/25 at 9:44 AM, she stated she did not administer Resident #44's
medication, Gabapentin, correctly. She stated the order was for 2 capsules to be given but she dispensed
and administered only one capsule. She stated it was an oversight on her part and it would be considered a
medication error and she would let the DON know. MA B dispensed a second Gabapentin 100 mg capsule
and administered the medication to Resident #44. She stated failure to give Resident #44 the accurate
dose of Gabapentin could result in the resident having an increased level of pain.
Resident #23
Record review of Resident #23's face sheet dated 01/07/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: vascular dementia with behavioral disturbance (dementia

MA B was observed to unlock the narcotic box and open the narcotic book to Resident #23's medication
count sheet for Methylphenidate 5 mg tablet (given for nervous system disorder). The count for
Methylphenidate 5 mg was noted at 5 remaining tablets. MA B was observed to sign out one tablet then
wrote the remaining count at 4 tablets and signed her name. A resident in the hallway asked MA B a
question, and MA B directed her attention to the resident and answered the question. MA B was then
observed to pick up the blister pack for the controlled medication (Methylphenidate 5 mg) and place it back
into the lock box drawer, lock the box, then close the drawer to the cart. MA B failed to remove the
controlled medication from the blister pack prior to placing the medication back in the cart. MA B failed to
verify medications in the cup with physician's orders to verify the correct number of medications to be
administered. MA B was then observed to pour water into a drinking cup, lock her medication cart, pick up
the cup of medications, and began walking into Resident #23's room to administer the medications. At that
time, the surveyor provided intervention and asked MA B to verify the medications in the cup with Resident
#23's physician's orders. MA B then opened her computer and counted the number of medications that
were to be administered and stated, There should be 10 medications in the cup. MA B counted the
medications in the cup and stated, Oh, I only have 9 pills here. I don't know which one is missing. I think I'll
have to go back through the medication cards and verify each one. Observed MA B pull Resident #23's
medication cards from the medication cart and reconcile the medications in the cup to the orders on her
computer screen. MA B was observed to check approximately half the medications, then she accidentally
spilled the cup of medications on top of the cart, requiring her to place the medications back into the cup,
and restart the verification process. MA B verified 9 routine medications then stated, It must be the narcotic
that I missed. MA B then unlocked the narcotic box and pulled out Resident #23's Methylphenidate 5 mg
medication card which was observed to have 5 remaining tablets in the blister pack. MA B stated, I guess I
got distracted and didn't pop the med after I signed it out. I would have caught it at shift change when the
narc count was off, but it would have been too late to give the dose by then. MA B was then observed to
dispense one tablet of Methylphenidate 5 mg into the cup with Resident #23's other medications, totaling
ten (10) medications. MA B administered the medications from the cup to Resident #23.

dispensed with physician's orders for Resident #44 and Resident #23. She stated she did not normally
count the medications in the cup prior to administering the medications and she had not been trained to do
so in her MA training, nor the at the facility. When asked how she would know she had administered the
correct number of medications without verifying the order and the count she stated, Well, I wouldn't, but I
will definitely count and verify meds going forward because it's obviously easy to make a mistake. MA B
stated she worked at the facility as a medication aid as needed and did not recall receiving medication
administration training in the past year. She stated she had done a skills check for medication
administration with the DON approximately three (3) months ago. MA B stated a potential negative outcome
for failure to verify medications with physician's orders would be a higher chance of medication errors. She
stated a potential negative outcome for not receiving medications as ordered by the physician would be that
a resident might have pain if they miss a pain pill or it could cause other trouble for the resident, depending
on what the medication is given for.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 11:38 AM, the ADM stated she was made aware that two staff members
made medication errors during medication pass observations. She stated all nursing staff were trained on
proper medication administration and the facility's nursing administration was responsible for conducting
training. She stated her expectation of staff for administering medications was that staff read orders,
administer medications according to the MAR and contact the DON if they have any questions about a
medication. The ADM stated a potential negative outcome for failure to administer medications according to
physician's orders was the resident could become sick or have a decline in health.
During an interview on 01/08/25 at 12:09 PM, the DON stated she was made aware that two staff members

training. She stated she conducted skills checks for medication administration for all staff who administer
medications. She stated nursing staff were also trained via periodic computer training and medication aids
attended recertification training on an annual basis. She stated a potential negative outcome for failure to
dispense medications according to physicians' orders was a decline in resident outcomes and residents not
being within therapeutic levels of ordered medications.

box in the medication storage room refrigerator and stated the medication found in the lockbox was
Lorazepam 2 MG/ML. LVN A stated he was not aware the medication was in the lockbox as he thought the
lock box was empty. LVN A stated the lock box should have been locked with the attached padlock since it
contained the narcotic, and he was not sure why it was not locked. LVN A locked the lock box and placed it
back into the refrigerator. LVN A stated Lorazepam was a medication that was required to be stored in the
lockbox to prevent the medication from being stolen. LVN A stated he was not sure who placed the
medication inside of the lockbox and stated he did not know how long it had been there. LVN A stated he
did not have a key to the lockbox and stated the DON had the key.

box, inside of the locked room, to ensure the medication was stored properly and to prevent theft of the
medication. The DON stated she did not know who left the lockbox unlocked or why it was not locked. The
DON stated she was unaware of the medication being stored in the lockbox and she thought the lockbox
was empty. The DON stated she and the ADON had the only keys to the lockbox.
During an interview on 01/08/2025 at 12:45 PM with the DON revealed the following: The DON stated that
nursing staff were notified through orders of any new medications, and this was how they were usually
made aware of narcotics that required additional storage restrictions. The DON stated she thought the
medication was brought by Hospice for a resident and this was why it was overlooked. The DON stated it
should have still been seen during nursing staff's reconciliation at the end of each shift. The DON stated all
nursing staff were also required to complete counts of all medication at the end of each shift, and the
nursing staff should have checked the medication storage room, including the refrigerator, to ensure all
medications were stored properly. The DON stated the medication

and special dietary needs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide each resident with a diet that met his
or her daily nutritional and special dietary needs, taking into consideration the preferences of each resident
for 3 (Resident #16, Resident #40, and Resident #25) of 15 residents reviewed for dietary services.
The Facility did not provide Resident #16 or Resident #25 with their dietary preferences for 1 of 2 meals
reviewed (Lunch on 01/07/25).
The Facility did not provide Resident #40 with double portions or his dietary preferences for 1 of 2 meals
reviewed (Lunch on 01/07/25).

dietary slips.
Interview on 01/07/25 at 4:29 PM, [NAME] A and the DM stated they were able to see that 39 residents
wanted enchiladas for lunch and each resident received 2 enchiladas as their portion. [NAME] A stated the

glove changes. She stated she was not prepared to do incontinent care when the resident caught her in the
hallway and requested to be changed. She stated sanitizing her hands after changing gloves just slipped
my mind. CNA E stated she had been trained on proper hand hygiene upon hire in August 2024. She stated
she also received training through in-services conducted by the DON and through computer-based training
videos. She stated a potential negative outcome for failure to sanitize hands between glove changes was
bacteria and germs could be spread and cause infection.
