Depakote for Resident #65.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 05/06/25 at 05:45PM with the ADON, he could not find a consent for Resident #65
Depakote. He stated all staff had been trained on obtaining consents. He stated the nurses were
responsible for obtaining consent for medications when they receive the order. He stated the potential
negative outcome could be giving unnecessary medications to residents or giving medications against the
residents or family wishes.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/06/25 at 6:00PM, the ADM stated currently the ADON, DON or the charge
nurses were responsible for obtaining a signed consent form for psychotropic medications from the resident
or their responsible party on the same day it was received from the physician. The ADM stated the consent
should have been obtained prior to the residents being given psychotropic medications. The ADM stated he
believed the reason the consent form was missing was because of a human error. The ADM stated a
potential negative outcome to the residents was the resident was receiving a medication without consent.
Policy
It is the policy of this facility to ensure that residents who have not used psychotropic drugs are not given
these drugs unless the medication is necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented
in the clinical record.
Procedure:
On admission, the admitting nurses will review the transfer orders for any psychotropic medications. All
effort will be made by the Licensed Nurses (LN) to obtain as much history regarding these medications,
including prior informed consents, from the previous facility or through resident or resident representative
interview. Any information obtained will be documented in the resident's clinical record.
Upon change of condition or initiation of a new order for psychoactive medications, the facility will obtain
consent prior to the initiation of the new medication.

establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide information to resident's
and their representatives on their rights related to filing grievances or concerns for 12 of 30 confidential
residents.
The facility failed to ensure 12 of 30 confidential residents were provided, through postings in prominent
locations; the Grievance Procedure, were provided access to the Grievance form, were provided
information regarding who the facility grievance officer was, their contact information, and how to file an
anonymous grievance.
This failure could place the residents at risk of unresolved grievances and decreased quality of life.
Findings include:
Interviews during Resident Council on, 05/05/2025 at 2:00pm, 12 confidential residents, stated they did not
have access to the Grievance form following the facility's remodel. The residents 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 happens once a grievance was filed. The 12 residents in attendance had all been Residents of the
facility for 6 plus months.
Observed prominent postings on 05/05/2025 at 4:15pm; the facility did not include instructions regarding
the Grievance procedure with any of the prominent postings. Grievance forms were not available and there
was no access to submit a Grievance anonymously.
Interview with the ADM on 05/06/2025 at 5:01pm; the ADM stated he was the Grievance Officer for the
facility. The ADM stated he was responsible for the review of Grievances and assign them to department
heads. The ADM stated the Grievance form was available for the Residents all the nurses' stations and the
SW office. The ADM stated when residents present a Grievance issue to staff, the staff complete a
Grievance form for the resident. The ADM stated there was no procedure for Residents to submit
grievances anonymously. The ADM stated the facility should resolve grievances as soon as possible once
they were submitted. The ADM stated he assigns the grievance to the appropriate department, that
department addresses the grievance, resolved the grievance, and explained the resolution to the
complainant. The resolution was documented on the original Grievance form. The ADM stated completed
Grievances were kept in a notebook. The ADM stated he monitored the Grievance process for success by
following up with the staff at morning meetings. The ADM stated the Interdisciplinary Team was responsible
for ensuring staff were trained on the Grievance process. The ADM stated he was not aware the Grievance
procedure was not being discussed in Resident Council.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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, facility failed to maintain an infection control program designed to
provide a safe, comfortable, and sanitary environment to help prevent the development and transmission of
communicable diseases for 3 of 4 residents (Resident #32, Resident #35, Resident #67, and Resident #90)
and 5 of 6 staff (LVN A, LVN D, CNA D, CNA E, and CNA F) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. LVN A failed to follow facility policy and procedure for handwashing while providing wound care for
Resident #32, during observations of wound on 05/05/2025 at 2:33 PM.
2. CNA D and CNA E failed to follow facility policy and procedure for handwashing while providing
incontinent care for Resident #35, during observations of incontinent care on 05/05/2025 at 10:34 AM.
3. The facility failed to provide an enhanced barrier precautions sign for Resident #67 while having a
wound. LVN D, CNA D, and CNA E all provided direct care without PPE due to an enhanced barrier
precaution sign not being posted.
4. CNA F failed to follow facility policy and procedure for handwashing while providing incontinent care for
Resident #90, during observations of incontinent care on 05/05/2025 at 11:22 AM.
These failures could place residents at risk for spread of infection and cross contamination.
Findings included:
Resident #32
Record review of Resident #32's face sheet undated revealed an [AGE] year-old female with an admission
date of 11/08/2023 with the following diagnoses: Atherosclerotic heart disease (the build-up of fats,
cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls), pressure ulcer of right buttock (stage 3),
pressure ulcer of sacral region (stage 3), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), cognitive communication deficit,
anemia (a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells and hemoglobin), type
2 diabetes, vitamin deficiency, hyperlipidemia (a condition in which there are high levels of fat particles in
the blood), high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes
poor blood flow), heart failure, peripheral vascular disease (a circulatory condition in which narrowed blood
vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs), acid reflux, muscle weakness, osteoporosis (a condition in which

Record review of Resident #32's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score blank and
incomplete. The MDS under unhealed pressure ulcers, Resident #32 was listed as a 0, meaning that
Resident #32 was not at risk of pressure ulcers at the time of the MDS. Under unhealed pressure
ulcers/injuries Resident #32 was listed as a 0 meaning that Resident #32 was not listed as having a
pressure ulcer/injury at the time of the MDS. Under current number of unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries at
each stage was left blank and incomplete. Under skin conditions the section was left blank and incomplete.
