LVN C stated she had not given the on-call physician a report of Resident #1's May 2024, diagnosis of diabetes with medications and monitoring, which included twice a day blood sugar monitoring with finger sticks, sliding scale insulin injections, and an oral linagliptin, a diabetes control medication. LVN C stated she had not reconciled, reviewed, and compared the previous orders for diabetes and the current hospital discharge orders for the diagnosis of diabetes and stated, I report to the on-call physician the discharge hospital orders . we are strict about following hospital discharge orders. LVN C stated she had not communicated to the MD, The NP, DON A, nor the ADON, that she had not reconciled, reviewed, and compared the previous orders for diabetes and the current hospital discharge orders for the diagnosis of diabetes. During an interview on at the previous DON, DON A, stated he was the DON at the facility during May 2024 through July 2024 and he and the interdisciplinary team, which included the Administrator and the ADON, daily reviewed the 24-hour report and new admissions for safety. DON A stated he could not recall the morning meetings from June 2024 but did state the tools utilized to review residents for safety would include a review of the 24-hr. report, nursing, notes, and previous orders and current orders. DON A stated the person responsible to ensure Resident safety with reconciliation of physician orders was the ADON. During an interview on 01/01/2025 at 10:30 AM NP stated he was the NP for Resident #1, and he was aware Resident #1 was a diabetic with twice a day blood-sugar checks, sliding scale insulin injections and oral anti-diabetic medications. NP stated he had not received a report from the nursing staff that Resident #1 had not received daily finger stick to assess for blood sugar levels, had not received daily sliding scale insulin injections, nor received the daily oral anti-diabetic medication for 4 months. NP stated he had ordered blood labs to reveal blood sugar levels that were within acceptable levels for an [AGE] year-old male who had just returned from the hospital recovering from an on-going clostridium difficile infection complicated by chronic heart failure disease. NP stated he believed the interventions for Resident #1's underlying diabetes were effective as evidenced by the blood glucose labs he had ordered and thus had not ordered any further interventions until he followed up with an HbA1c blood lab in October 2024 which revealed a high blood sugar level of 9.9%. NP stated he then intervened with oral anti-diabetic medications, laboratory tests, and daily blood sugar finger sticks which resulted in a managed blood sugar level. During an interview on 12/31/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Medical Director stated he was aware Resident #1 was treated at the hospital in May 2024 for complications of a clostridium difficile infection (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676041 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 8 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 676041 B.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some complicated by CHF. The MD stated he was not aware Resident #1 was admitted from the hospital in May 2024 without interventions for his diabetes and, at a minimum, should have been assessed daily for blood sugar levels. The medical director stated the risk to Resident #1 would have been complications of hyperglycemia (high levels of sugar in the blood). The MD stated clinically it was understandable for Resident #1 to not have high blood sugar levels during the episodes where he was recovering from the clostridium difficile infection, not eating, due to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The MD stated Resident #1 responded to the infection treatments, recovered, and began eating again and thus contributed to the gradual increase in blood sugar levels without monitoring. During an interview on at the administrator stated Resident #1 was being seen and cared for by the MD and the NP and were focused on the serious infection of clostridium difficile and Resident #1 was assessed for blood sugar levels which were within normal limits. The administrator stated the NP and the MD did intervene with further interventions to manage Resident #1's diabetes and blood sugar levels when in October 2024 the resulted A1c lab revealed a high result. The administrator stated the facility provided care for Resident #1, Resident #1 had recovered from the infection, and the facility continued to provide quality care for Resident #1. A record review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Policy dated April 2024, revealed, PURPOSE: To establish a uniform policy and procedures for reporting and responding to abuse, neglect, exploitation (ANE), and misappropriation of resident property. It is the policy of (The Facility) to provide protection for the health, welfare and rights of each resident residing in its facilities. The following procedures have been developed with the intent to prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. The procedures will include at a minimum the following elements: screening, training, prevention, identification, investigation, protection, and reporting/response. An evaluation of the facilities ANE policy will be conducted through the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Committee (QAPI) as appropriate. A record review of the United States Centers for Disease Control's websites : https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/treatment/your-diabetes-care-schedule.html and https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/diabetes-testing/monitoring-blood-sugar.html . Accessed 01/11/2025. Titled Your Diabetes Care Schedule and Monitoring Your Blood Sugar revealed, Every day, Blood sugar checks. Check up to several times a day as directed by your doctor. Keep a record of your numbers and share with your health care team during your next visit. And Key points, monitoring your blood sugar is the most important thing you can do to manage diabetes. Importance of monitoring, many factors like food choices, medicines, and physical activity cause your blood sugar to change throughout the day. Some change is normal, but when your blood sugar is too high or too low, this can cause problems. Monitoring will help you figure out what affects your numbers, find patterns, and adjust as you go. By checking regularly you'll be more likely to achieve your blood sugar target ranges. Monitoring also helps your health care team make decisions about your diabetes care plan. Your doctor will tell you when and how often to check your blood sugar levels. A record review of the facility's in-services revealed an in-service dated 10/25/2024 titled, Medication Reconciliation revealed, Residents often receive new medications or have changes made to their existing medications at times of transitions in care-upon hospital admission, transfer from one unit to another during hospitalization, or discharge from the hospital to home or another facility. Although most of these changes are intentional, unintended changes occur frequently for a variety of reasons. For example, hospital-based clinicians might not be able to easily access patients' complete pre-admission medication lists or may be unaware of recent medication changes. As a result, the new medication regimen prescribed at the time of discharge may inadvertently omit needed medications, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676041 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 8 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 676041 B.
