actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan to meet the medical
and nursing needs and the services to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to complete an accurate comprehensive care plan for Resident #1, by not care planning
her Hospice services received on 1/20/25.
This failure could place residents at risk of not having their care and treatment needs met to ensure
necessary care and services were provided for specific to Hospice specialized services.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease (A brain disorder that slowly destroys
a person's memory), Dementia (the loss of cognitive function, remembering, thinking, and reasoning),
Hypertension (elevated blood pressure), Bradycardia (a slow heart rate).
Record review of Resident #1's Significant change in status MDS dated [DATE] reflected she Had a BIMS
score of 00 indicating she had severe cognitive impaired. Resident #1 required Substantial/maximal
assistance indicating the helper does more than half the effort or the helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and
provides more than half the effort for ADL care showering, upper and lower body dressing, and toileting
hygiene. The MDS reflected Resident #1 was receiving hospice services.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 02/06/2025 reflected there was no care plan in place for
her hospice services provided.
Record review of Resident #1s' Physician orders for March 2025 reflected an order to admit to Hospice
services on 01/20/2025.
In an interview on 3/12/25 at 12:05 the MDS Coordinator RN stated upon a significant change MDS she
was required to update the comprehensive care plan. She stated Resident #1 should have had a care plan
updating the resident's services to include hospice care. She stated she just missed it. The MDS
Coordinator stated it was important to update the plan of care as changes occur in residents' status to
ensure the staff were aware of changes in care needs provided by staff. She stated the charge nurses the

observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,
and the residents' choices reviewed for 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility nurses failed to hold Resident #1s health shakes and administered them through a 60ML
syringe by mouth while she was not responsive on 3/10/25 at 10:20pm and 3/11/25 at 12:10pm.
These failures resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) On 3/12/2025 at 4:35 p.m. While
the IJ was removed on 3/14/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm
with the potential for more than minimal harm that was not immediate jeopardy with a scope identified as
isolated due to the facility's need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the
corrective systems.
These failures placed residents who have had a decline or change in condition at risk for aspiration,
choking, and death.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease (A brain disorder that slowly destroys
a person's memory), Dementia (the loss of cognitive function, remembering, thinking, and reasoning),
Hypertension (elevated blood pressure), Bradycardia (a slow heart rate).

assistance indicating the helper does more than half the effort or the helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and
provides more than half the effort for ADL care showering, upper and lower body dressing, and toileting
hygiene. The MDS reflected Resident #1 required set up or clean up assistance with eating and was
receiving hospice services.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 02/06/2025 reflected a significant/Un-expected weight loss
due to
decline in overall health and decline in oral intake. Goal: Will receive adequate nutrition and fluid intake and
weight will stabilize through the next review. Interventions included Provide supplements as ordered.

services on 01/20/2025. Resident #1 had an order for a stat (without delay) chest x-ray to rule our
aspiration dated 03/11/2025.
Record review of Resident #1s Chest X ray ordered for Resident #1 on 3/11/25 at 5:59pm reflected there
was no aspiration seen.
In an observation completed on 3/11/25 at 11:00am Resident #1was fidgeting with her fingers in the air,
unresponsive to verbal stimuli. The head of her bead was elevated 45 degrees, she had her mouth open,
and head leaned back looking upward to the ceiling. There was a bottle of health shake with a straw in it
next to a 60cc syringe in a clear package on the bedside table.
In a second observation and interview of Resident #1 and CNA A on 3/11/25 at 12:10 when Resident #1
appeared in the same position. At 12:13pm CNA A entered the room as this surveyor was inquiring about
Resident #1s lunch tray. CNA A stated Resident #1 was too weak to eat. She stated the Resident #1 had
not been offered a food tray. CNA A was putting on gloves and drawing up a 60cc syringe full of health
shake. As CNA A was talking with the surveyor, she then proceeded over to the Resident #1 and placed the
syringe in the resident's mouth. This surveyor asked CNA A to stop at that time. CNA A Stated she worked
with agency and today was her first day in the facility. She stated there was an orientation on the agency
app prior to taking a shift at the facility, she did not know if feeding was part of that orientation. CNA A
Stated Resident #1 did not have the strength to eat and that she was told in report (employee to employee
review of residents' conditions) this morning by the night nurse to feed and give fluids to Resident #1 with
the syringe so she would not be dehydrated. CNA A stated she had given Resident #1 two full 60 cc
syringes of health shake this morning. She stated she had not been instructed by the building DON or
ADON to feed or give fluids to a resident with a syringe.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 12:20pm the DON stated Resident #1 had been unresponsive for about 2-3
days. The DON stated it was not normal practice to feed or give fluids to residents with a syringe. She
stated The Family Member was insistent with hospice that it could be done. The DON stated the CNAs have
not been trained to feed or give fluids using a syringe unless the hospice nurse instructed them to do so.
She stated Resident #1 could get aspiration pneumonia (an infection that is the results of food or fluids
going into the lungs instead of the stomach). The DON stated feeding residents with a syringe is not facility
protocol. She stated the 60cc syringe came from Hospice.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 1:02pm LVN B stated she had worked at the facility for 3 days and she was
the charge nurse for Resident #1. She stated she was aware Resident #1 was on hospice for a cardiac
condition and Resident #1 had a hip injury that was nonoperational. She stated Resident #1s family was
upset she was not eating, and she had talked to the family about reasons including end of life. She stated
she also explained to the family that she could aspirate (a condition where the fluid goes into the lung) if
she was not swallowing. LVN B stated at no time did CNA A report that the night nurse had instructed her to
feed or give fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. She stated it also was not passed along in their nursing
report from the night nurse. She stated the Resident #1 was unresponsive this morning. LVN B stated
feeding or giving fluids through a syringe to a resident who was not responsive could lead to the resident
aspirating. LVN B stated she did an assessment on Resident #1, and her lungs were clear (free from
abnormal sounds of respirations). LVN B stated a Chest x ray was ordered by the physician, and the facility
was waiting on that to be completed.
Attempted to contact LVN C who works night shift (6pm -6am) on 3/10/25 on 3/11/25 at 1:42 pm with no
answer.

In an interview with a Family Member of Resident #1 on 3/11/25 at 2:51 stated when she had mentioned
giving Resident #1 fluids through a syringe, she was not talking about a large syringe full of fluids. She
stated she was asking for the staff to give her drips out of a small syringe. She stated something to keep
Resident #1's mouth moist. She stated she did not ask for them to force feed her. She stated she just
wanted Resident #1s mouth moist, not as dry; she wanted her to have oral care, swab her mouth out, not
force feed her though a syringe.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 3:00 pm with The Medical Director and Primary Care Physician for Resident
#1 stated it was not recommend feeding or give fluids by mouth a resident with a syringe. He stated he was
over the Resident#1s hospice company as well and he had called hospice, and they had no
recommendations for feeding or giving fluids through a syringe either. He stated if a person were to squirt a
bunch of thin liquids at one time into Resident#1s mouth she would aspirate, causing choking, and
pneumonia. He stated the resident was not eating. He stated he did listen to Resident #1s lungs, and they
sounded clear and did not see any harm from the resident receiving the thin liquids per the syringe. He
stated he did instruct the nursing staff not to feed or give fluids to her through the syringe. He stated he
ordered routine oral care to be completed to ensure the residents mouth was moist.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 3:46 pm RN D Resident #1's hospice nurse stated hospice did not
recommend feeding or giving fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated The Family Member had called
him and was upset that the facility would not feed Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated he educated the
family on risk of feeding and giving fluids with a syringe. He stated that he instructed the family that hospice
would not feed or give fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated there was never an order to do that.
The Family Member stated the night nurse told her that she got her to take a half of a bottle of health shake
and she did not elaborate how she got her to take the fluid. He stated he had instructed the family on the
death and dying process and that it was a traumatic event such as a hip fracture that causing the resident
to further decline and that not having an appetite and not eating was part of that decline. He stated the
resident has not been responsive the last 3-4 days.
In an interview with the DON and ADM on 3/12/25 at 3:09 when the DON stated there was never any
formal training to feed or give residents any fluids through a syringe because it was not the facility practice
to do so. She stated here was never any order for food or fluids to be given through a syringe because that
it not the facility practice. The DON stated agency staff were aware of the Residents#1s plan or care
through verbal report. She stated the agency staff were also given a point click care password so they could
access the plan or care and be aware of resident's needs. The DON stated there was a book with specific
instructions at the nurses' station on how to navigate point click care and facility policy and procedures
provided to agency staff. She stated they encourage agency staff to ask questions if needed.
Record review of facility policy titled Competency Evaluation dated 04/2024 and revised 01/2025 reflected:
It is the policy of this facility to evaluate each employee to assure they meet appropriate competencies and
skills for performing their job.

on 01/20/2025. Resident #1 had an order for a stat (without delay) chest x-ray to rule our aspiration dated
03/11/2025.
Record review of Resident #1's Chest X ray ordered for Resident #1 on 3/11/25 at 5:59pm reflected there
was no aspiration seen.
In an observation completed on 3/11/25 at 11:00am Resident #1 was fidgeting with her fingers in the air,
unresponsive to verbal stimuli. The head of her bead was elevated 45 degrees, she had her mouth open,
and head leaned back looking upward to the ceiling. There was a bottle of health shake with a straw in it
next to a 60 cc syringe in a clear package on the bedside table.
In a second observation and interview of Resident #1 and CNA A on 3/11/25 at 12:10 when Resident #1
appeared in the same position. At 12:13pm CNA A entered the room as this surveyor was inquiring about
Resident #1's lunch tray. CNA A stated Resident #1 was too weak to eat. She stated the Resident #1 had
not been offered a food tray. CNA A was putting on gloves and drawing up a 60 cc syringe full of health
shake. As CNA A was talking with the surveyor, she then proceeded over to the Resident #1 and placed the
syringe in the resident's mouth. This surveyor asked CNA A to stop at that time. CNA A Stated she worked
with agency and today was her first day in the facility. She stated there was an orientation on the agency
app prior to taking a shift at the facility, she did not know if feeding was part of that orientation. CNA A
Stated Resident #1 did not have the strength to eat and that she was told in report (employee to employee
review of residents' conditions) this morning by the night nurse to feed and give fluids to Resident #1 with
the syringe so she would not be dehydrated. CNA A stated she had given Resident #1 two full 60 cc
syringes of health shake this morning. She stated she had not been instructed by the building DON or
ADON to feed or give fluids to a resident with a syringe.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 12:20pm the DON stated Resident #1 had been unresponsive for about 2-3
days. The DON stated it was not normal practice to feed or give fluids to residents with a syringe. She
stated The Family Member was insistent with hospice that it could be done. The DON stated the CNAs have
not been trained to feed or give fluids using a syringe unless the hospice nurse instructed them to do so.
She stated Resident #1 could get aspiration pneumonia (an infection that is the results of food or fluids
going into the lungs instead of the stomach). The DON stated feeding residents with a syringe is not facility
protocol. She stated the 60 cc syringe came from Hospice.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 1:02pm LVN B stated she had worked at the facility for 3 days and she was
the charge nurse for Resident #1. She stated she was aware Resident #1 was on hospice for a cardiac
condition and Resident #1 had a hip injury that was nonoperational. She stated Resident #1's family was
upset she was not eating, and she had talked to the family about reasons including end of life. She stated
she also explained to the family that she could aspirate (a condition where the fluid goes into the lung) if
she was not swallowing. LVN B stated at no time did CNA A report that the night nurse had instructed her to
feed or give fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. She stated it also was not passed along in their nursing
report from the night nurse. She stated the Resident #1 was unresponsive this morning. LVN B stated
feeding or giving fluids through a syringe to a resident who was not responsive could lead to the resident
aspirating. LVN B stated she did an assessment on Resident #1, and her lungs were clear (free from
abnormal sounds of respirations). LVN B stated a Chest x ray was ordered by the physician, and the facility
was waiting on that to be completed.

answer.
In an interview with a Family Member of Resident #1 on 3/11/25 at 2:51pm stated when she had mentioned
giving Resident #1 fluids through a syringe, she was not talking about a large syringe full of fluids. She
stated she was asking for the staff to give her drips out of a small syringe. She stated something to keep
Resident #1's mouth moist. She stated she did not ask for them to force feed her. She stated she just
wanted Resident #1's mouth moist, not as dry; she wanted her to have oral care, swab her mouth out, not
force feed her though a syringe.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 3:00pm with The Medical Director and Primary Care Physician for Resident #1
stated it was not recommend feeding or give fluids by mouth a resident with a syringe. He stated he was
over the Resident#1's hospice company as well and he had called hospice, and they had no
recommendations for feeding or giving fluids through a syringe either. He stated if a person were to squirt a
bunch of thin liquids at one time into Resident#1's mouth she would aspirate, causing choking, and
pneumonia. He stated the resident was not eating. He stated he did listen to Resident #1's lungs, and they
sounded clear and did not see any harm from the resident receiving the thin liquids per the syringe. He
stated he did instruct the nursing staff not to feed or give fluids to her through the syringe. He stated he
ordered routine oral care to be completed to ensure the residents mouth was moist.
In an interview on 3/11/25 at 3:46pm RN D Resident #1's hospice nurse stated hospice did not recommend
feeding or giving fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated The Family Member had called him and
was upset that the facility would not feed Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated he educated the family on
risk of feeding and giving fluids with a syringe. He stated that he instructed the family that hospice would
not feed or give fluids to Resident #1 with a syringe. He stated there was never an order to do that. The
Family Member stated the night nurse told her that she got her to take a half of a bottle of health shake and
she did not elaborate how she got her to take the fluid. He stated he had instructed the family on the death
and dying process and that it was a traumatic event such as a hip fracture that causing the resident to
further decline and that not having an appetite and not eating was part of that decline. He stated the
resident has not been responsive the last 3-4 days.
In an interview with the DON and ADM on 3/12/25 at 3:09pm when the DON stated there was never any
formal training to feed or give residents any fluids through a syringe because it was not the facility practice
to do so. She stated here was never any order for food or fluids to be given through a syringe because that
it not the facility practice. The DON stated agency staff were aware of the Residents#1's plan or care
through verbal report. She stated the agency staff were also given a point click care password so they could
access the plan or care and be aware of resident's needs. The DON stated there was a book with specific
instructions at the nurses' station on how to navigate point click care and facility policy and procedures
provided to agency staff. She stated they encourage agency staff to ask questions if needed.
Record review of facility policy titled Competency Evaluation dated 04/2024 and revised 01/2025 reflected:
It is the policy of this facility to evaluate each employee to assure they meet appropriate competencies and
skills for performing their job.
