During an interview with Resident #7 on 5/26/22 at 8:06 AM Resident #7 stated she reported an incident in
September 2022 about two CNAs speaking Spanish while providing care to her. Resident #7 stated it was
better for about a week and then it was right back to where it started. Resident #7 stated CNAs during the
night shift were still speaking Spanish while providing care for her. Resident #7 stated the last time it
happened was on the night of 10/24/22. Resident #7 stated she did not tell anyone about the CNAs
speaking Spanish in front of her, because she did not want to get anyone in trouble. Resident #7 stated it
made her feel sad, angry, and like they were talking about her. Resident #7 stated she did not feel the
grievance was resolved. Resident #7 stated the facility did not discuss the grievance with her after she
reported it. Resident #7 stated a reasonable time frame to her for a grievance to be resolved would be
about a week.

answered and residents told I'll be back, and never return.
Record review of grievance logs for May 2022 - September 2022 indicated no grievances for call lights
being answered, turned off, and staff not returning.

resident council were considered grievances. The Activity Director stated grievances were started by the
person who took the complaint and then given to the Social Worker. The Activity Director stated the failure
for unresolved grievances could make the residents believe nothing ever got solved and it hurts them
because they must continue to deal with the problem.
During an interview on 10/26/22 at 3:43 PM the Social Worker stated some complaints made during
resident council would be considered a grievance. The Social Worker stated that answering the call lights,
turning them off and saying they will return, and not returning would be considered a grievance. The Social
Worker stated grievances were started by the person taking the grievance, then they discussed it in the
morning meeting or with the Administrator. The Social Worker stated they would talk to residents, staff, or
supervisors to resolve the complaint. The Social Worker stated they follow up on grievances by talking to
residents to see if they are satisfied or if it is resolved. The Social Worker stated they follow up for a few
days after the grievance and then periodically afterward. The Social Worker stated Resident #7's grievance
was resolved by having the CNAs relocated to another area and those CNAs were educated on the use of
appropriate language during resident care. The Social Worker stated the failure to resolve grievances for
residents would make them feel disrespected, unheard, and not cared about.
During an interview on 8/26/22 at 3:54 PM the DON stated anyone could take a grievance. The DON stated
it was usually documented by a department head and the form is turned into the Social Worker, then it is
discussed in the morning meeting. The DON stated the department in which the grievance originated would
then perform the investigation, corrective action, and follow-up. The DON stated she was unaware of the
grievance report for Resident #7 and the resident council complaints. The DON stated the residents could
feel disrespected, unheard, and dehumanized when grievances are not resolved

Residents Affected - Some
Record Review of Resident #24's MDS dated [DATE] indicated she had a BIMS score of 2 indicating mildly
impaired. Section I of the MDS indicated Resident #24 had an active diagnosis of anxiety and a psychotic
disorder.
During interview on 10/26/22 at 2:08 p.m. LVN A stated the charge nurses were responsible for updating
the care plan when medications were discontinued. LVN A stated the MDS nurse was responsible for
updating the care plan when residents are discharged from hospice services. LVN A stated the charge
nurses should document resident changes on their 24-hour report and notify the MDS nurse the next
morning or the MDS nurse would ask the nurses if there were any changes to update the MDS. LVN A
stated care plans should be updated for medication changes to prevent mistakes or confusion. LVN A
stated if care plans were not complete, nurses might think the care plan was ongoing.
During an interview on 10/26/11 at 1:32 p.m. the ADON stated the charge nurse was responsible for
updating the care plan if medication or hospice services had been discontinued. The ADON stated the care
plans were important to ensure resident changes in medications and when to monitor for side effects.
During an interview on 10/26/22 at 2:47 p.m. the DON/MDS Coordinator said the charge nurse should input
orders and the ADON ensured the orders are input correctly. The DON/MDS Coordinator said the showers
sheets and point of care system was how CNAs were aware of showers needing to be done. The
DON/MDS Coordinator checked shower sheets to ensure resident showers were done as ordered or
scheduled. The DON/MDS Coordinator said residents with orders for showers daily with a wound and not
receiving them were at risk for infection, odor, and maceration (occurs when the skin is in contact with
moisture for too long. The skin becomes soft, wet, soggy, wrinkly, and lighter in color). The DON/MDS
Coordinator said the nurses should monitor to ensure the oxygen was being administered at the correct
rate. The DON/MDS Coordinator said oxygen administered at too high of a rate could affect the resident's
eyes and hyperventilate them. The DON/MDS Coordinator said she was responsible for ensuring care
plans were updated. The DON/MDS Coordinator said acute issues and a new onset of chronic issues for a
resident was reported on the facility activity report. The DON/MDS Coordinator said the facility activity
report triggered what needed to be added to the resident's care plan. The DON/MDS Coordinator said
chronic issues that a resident was admitted with would be triggered by the MDS to put on the care plan.
The DON/MDS Coordinator said oxygen therapy should be care planned. The DON/MDS Coordinator said
oxygen therapy should be care planned intervention and should be accessible for the nurse to review and
apply necessary interventions to aid the resident receiving oxygen.
During an interview on 10/26/22 at 3:07 pm interview with the MDS coordinator/Interim DON, the DON
stated she should have updated the care plans and she was responsible for making sure the changes were
made. The DON stated the charge nurses were responsible for updating the care plan when medications
were discontinued and the MDS nurse was responsible for updating the care plan when hospice care was
discontinued. The DON stated if care plans were not correct, the nurses could get false information.
During an interview on 10/26/2022 at 4:45 p.m. the ADON said the facility's Chart-readmission policy was
the policy to refer to for physician orders.
Record review of the facility's Care Plan-Resident policy dated 10/2022 indicated, .Resident Care Plan

the past two months. The Activity Director stated she was responsible for providing activities in room and in
a group setting. The Activity Director stated she did not have a certification or license to qualify as an
Activities Director. The Activity Director stated her background was as a caregiver. The Activity Director
stated she was not aware that a certification was needed. The Activity Director stated she thought she had
up to a year to become certified. The Activity Director stated she was told by the previous Administrator she
did not have to be certified prior to her taking the position. The Activity Director stated the failure of not
being certified was residents not receiving activities that meet their activity needs.
During an interview on 10/26/2022 at 4:51 p.m., the Interim Administrator stated he had only been at the
facility for seven weeks. The Interim Administrator stated the Activity Director did not have a certification or

Director was not certified until the surveyor brought it to his attention. The Interim Administrator stated it
was important for the Activity Director to be certified to ensure she was following a plan that would be
conducive to residents. When asked how residents could be negatively affected, he said, I do not see a
potential harm since the residents were being provided activities.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure laboratory services were obtained to meet the
needs of 2 of 20 residents reviewed for laboratory services. (Resident #157 and Resident #16)
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not ensure Resident #157's electrolyte panel was drawn daily for five days.
The facility did not obtain a physician's ordered CBC (test that measures red blood cells, white blood cells,
and platelets), CMP (test that measures different substances in blood), Hemoglobin (test that measures for
low or high levels of red blood cells), Lipid Panel (test that measure the amount of fats in blood), TSH (test
that measures the thyroid gland), and Vitamin D levels for Resident #16.
These failures could place the residents at risk of not receiving lab services as ordered and not managing
medications at a therapeutic level.
Findings Include:
1. Record review of the consolidated physician orders dated 10/26/2022 indicated Resident #157 was an
[AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hyponatremia (decreased
sodium level), cardiac pacemaker, atrial fibrillation (irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes
poor blood flow), and hypertension (high blood pressure). The physician orders did not indicate Resident
#157 had an order for an electrolyte panel to be drawn. The physician orders indicated Resident #157 had
an order for sodium chloride 1 gram by mouth twice a day starting 10/20/2022
Record review of the baseline care plan completed by LVN D dated 10/22/2022 indicated Resident #157's
diagnosis that contributed to admission was low sodium.
Record review of the comprehensive care plan dated 10/25/2022 indicated Resident #157 was at risk for
alteration in sodium levels/abnormal lab values related to hyponatremia with an intervention of monitor labs
per physician orders.
Record review of the hospital discharge orders dated 10/20/2022 indicated Resident #157 had a discharge
order to draw an electrolyte panel (A blood test that measures if there is an electrolyte imbalance in the
body. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate are found in the blood.) daily for
five days.
Record review of the hospital lab results dated 10/17/2022 indicated Resident #157's sodium level was 128
milliequivalent/Liter (meq/L). The hospital lab results indicated Resident #157's sodium level of 128 meq/L
was low, but did not provide a reference range.
During an interview on 10/25/22 at 8:17 a.m. the Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said Resident
#157 had not had a lab drawn since she admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The Regional Reimbursement
Consultant Nurse said the nurse practioner would be making rounds on 10/25/2022 and would order labs
for Resident #157. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse viewed the discharge lab orders with
the surveyor. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said the lab order was not carried over at the
facility. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said she was unsure why the lab

order was not carried over. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said she did not enter the
primary diagnosis of hyponatremia, but had saw that was Resident #157's primary diagnosis in the
electronic medical records. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said the hospital
documentation indicated the resident had not been maintaining her sodium levels. The Regional
Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said it was important to have drawn the labs to monitor her sodium
levels. The Regional Reimbursement Consultant Nurse said decreased sodium levels could lead to cardiac
issues and muscle cramps.
Record review of the lab results dated 10/25/2022 indicated Resident #157's sodium level was 135 meq/L.
The lab results indicated the refence range for sodium was 136-145 meq/L.
During an interview on 10/26/22 at 1:33 p.m. LVN D said she no longer worked at the facility. LVN D said
she had been the nurse who put in the admission orders for Resident #157. LVN D said she had not been
given the complete set of discharge orders from the nursing management for Resident #157. LVN D said
the orders were supposed to be verified by a second nurse and the ADON. LVN D said the orders were not
verified by a second nurse or the ADON. LVN D said she could not remember who the second nurse was
that day. LVN D said not having sodium levels drawn as ordered could result in having cramps, dehydration,
lethargy, and weakness.
During an interview on 10/26/22 at 2:20 p.m. the ADON said the charge nurse was responsible for entering
admission orders. The ADON said she verified admission orders after the charge nurse entered the orders
initially. The ADON said the negative effect for labs not being drawn as order on Resident #157 could be not
monitoring for signs and symptoms of hypo-natremia such as low blood pressure, cramps, or dehydration.
2. Record review of Resident #16's physician order report, dated 09/26/2022-10/26/2022, indicated

the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including pathological fracture, right femur, sequela (fracture of the
right femur caused by weakened bone), gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis (disease in
which stomach acid or bile flows into the food pipe and irritates the lining), Alzheimer's disease with late
onset (progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), Parkinson's
disease (brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements) and Dementia in other
diseases classified elsewhere with behavioral disturbance (loss of memory, language, problem solving and

During an interview with the social worker on 10/26/22 at 4:23 PM, the social worker indicated she was
responsible for ensuring DNRs were accurately completed and documented. The social worker indicated
she did not know why the DNRs for Residents #10, #43, and #23 were not completed. The social worker
indicated she started August 8th and had been working with medical records to get everything organized by
looking at all the electronic health records one by one to see who had a DNR. The social worker indicated
she was starting a system to monitor the DNRs by keeping a binder with all the residents who were DNR.
The social worker stated it was important that all DNRs be accurately documented and completed to
ensure the residents and families wishes were honored. The social worker indicated not having the DNRs
accurately documented and completed would cause more stress in an already stressful situation and could
unnecessarily make end of life care more stressful.
During an interview with the Administrator on 10/26/22 at 4:51 PM, the Administrator indicated the social
worker was responsible for ensuring the DNRs were accurately completed and documented. The
Administrator indicated not having the DNRs accurately completed and documented could cause confusion
and the families wishes not to be followed.
During an interview with the ADON on 10/26/22 at 4:37 PM, the policy regarding advanced directives was
requested and not provided.
