said LVN P was sitting in the nurse station facing both residents; she was in the hallway in proximity of
where the altercation had taken place. She said Resident #6 had not shown any aggression prior to striking
Resident #6 on her face. She said both she and LVN P immediately intervened and separated them. She
said she removed Resident #6 while LVN P assessed Resident #6. She said all residents in the memory
unit need constant redirecting. She said out of the 21 residents in the memory unit only 3 are bedbound,

went towards them and removed Resident #7's hand from Resident #6's wrist. She said both Resident #6
and Resident #7 have dementia, and they have good and bad days and can be both physically and verbally
aggressive. She said Resident #6 sustained multiple skin tears. She said she had immediately cleansed his
wounds and notified his NP and RP. She said she was sitting at the nurse's station and always had eyes on

sitting in the dining room and was approached by Resident #2. She said as Resident #2 tried to remove
Resident #7's jacket that was in the back of her wheelchair, Resident #7 quickly grabbed it preventing him
from taking it. She said at that time Resident #6 got upset and immediately striked her on her arm. She said
she witnessed the entire incident and as soon as Resident #2 raised his hand, she quickly walked towards
them, but he still managed to hit Resident #7. She said she and other staff quickly approached both
residents and separated them. She said she assessed Resident #7 and saw no injuries. She said she
notified their RP's, NP's, and the DON. LVN P said on 03/25/2025 at 3:00 p.m., while sitting in the nurse's
station and having full visual of the dining room and hallway, she observed Resident #7 sitting on her
wheelchair close to the exit door. She said she then saw Resident #2 walking in the same direction and as
a CNA (no name given) tried to move Resident #7 out of the way, Resident #2 was seen closing his hand
and what appeared to have striked Resident #7 on her left cheek. She said both were immediately
separated and she rendered care to Resident #7. She said she notified her NP (nurse practitioner) who
ordered an x-ray of her face area. She said Resident #7 had no visible marks after her skin assessment
and denied any pain. LVN P said she was regularly in-service on the topic of abuse and neglect. She said
Resident #6, #7, #9 and #2 all had behavior problems related to their diagnoses of Alzheimer's. She said
the unit had enough staff to care for all 21 residents. She said Resident #6's resident-to-resident
altercations would be considered abuse. She said the Administrator had always been notified of all the
resident-to-resident altercations.In an interview on 07/11/2025 at 2:30 p.m., the DON said he was informed
of all resident-to-resident altercations. He said all resident-to-resident altercations needed to be care
planned and interventions set in place. He said the Administrator was also notified al all resident-to-resident
altercations as he was the Abuse Coordinator. He said he was responsible for reporting to the state. The
DON said the memory unit had enough staff to care for all 21 residents. He said there were always a
minimum of 2 CNAs, 1 charge nurse, 1 activity aide, and the MDS nurse was housed in the unit. He said if
a resident needed to be on a 1:1 then they would get another staff member from the facility to cover. The
DON said all staff were in-service on the topic of abuse, neglect, and exploitation regularly. The DON could
not say if Residents # 2, #6, #7, #9, and #10 had any negative outcomes due to the resident-to-resident
altercations they had. In an interview on 07/11/2025 at 2:45 p.m., the Administrator said he would be
notified of all resident-to-resident altercations. He said he did not consider the resident-to-resident
altercations in the memory unit as abuse because of their mental status. He said all suffered from dementia
and to him there was no ill intent when they would strike another resident. He said that was the reason he
had not reported the resident-to-resident altercations. Record review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect and
Exploitation policy dated 07/11/25 reflected the following:Policy:It is the policy of this facility to provide
protections for the health, welfare, and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, or mistreatment, were reported immediately to the State Survey Agency, within two hours if
the events that cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24
hours if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury,
for 3 (Resident #5, Resident #3, and Resident #2) of 4 residents reviewed for neglect.
The facility failed to report allegations of resident neglect for Resident #5 to the State Survey Agency within
the allotted time frame of 2 hours on 05/24/25 when Resident #5 had a fall at around 7:30 AM and
sustained a serious bodily injury (distal fibular diametaphyseal fracture).
The facility failed to report two Resident – to – Resident altercations. One on 11/15/24
between Resident #3 and Resident #2. The other occurred on 03/25/25 with Resident #2 and an unknown
resident.
The facility failed to report unwitnessed injury for Resident #2 on 11/11/24, 11/13/24, 12/17/24, 01/07/25,
02/04/2025, and 03/19/25.
The facility failed to report an unwitnessed fall with skin tear to Resident #2 ' s nose.
These failures could place all residents at increased risk for potential abuse/neglect due to unreported
allegations of abuse and neglect.
The findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #5 ' s admission sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an admission
date of 03/18/25 and an original admission date of 03/02/24 and a discharge date of 03/22/25). Her relevant

Residents Affected - Some
Record review on 06/17/25 of Resident #5 ' s intake reflected the facility reported her injury on 01/19/25 at
3:57 p.m.
In a telephone interview on 06/17/25 at 02:45 p.m., LVN C said he did not remember much of Resident #5 '
s 01/18/25 incident. He said the only thing he remembered was that he had been given report by the
outgoing nurse that Resident #5 had complained her ankle being discolored.
An interview on 06/19/25 at 10:30 a.m., LVN U said on 01/18/25 (did not remember the time), Resident #5
had complained to her of having purple skin discoloration to her lower right inner extremity. She said while
she assessed her, Resident #5 had voiced that she had not fallen or injured her right leg in any way. LVN U
said she immediately notified Resident 4 ' s NP and received order for a scan and x-ray.
In an interview on 06/19/25 at 10:55 p.m., the DON said Resident #5 had complained her lower right leg
was discolored, purple in color on 01/18/25 around 11:00 a.m. He said the charge nurse had conducted a
head-to-toe assessment and notified Resident #5 ' s NP. He said NP ordered a duplex and an x-ray to right
tibia-fibula and to right foot. The DON said the facility had received confirmation from the mobile X-ray
company on 01/18/25 at 6:52 p.m. that Resident #5 had a fracture. He said staff must have not read the
report until 10:48 p.m. He said Resident #5 ' s NP was notified, and he had ordered a repeat x-ray to
confirm fracture. The DON said the reason the NP had ordered a repeat x-ray was because Resident #5
had not complained of pain or reported any injury. The DON said Resident #5 had a repeated x-ray on
01/19/25 and the findings confirmed Resident #5 had an acute distal fibular diametaphyseal fracture. The
DON said since Resident#4 ' s NP had requested a repeated x-ray; they did not considered Resident #5
having a fracture until the results from the second x-ray came in. He said Resident #5 ' s NP had not
deemed it a fracture yet because he had ordered a second x-ray that was the reason the facility had
reported the incident to state on 01/19/25 after the results from the second x-ray confirmed the findings
from the first x-ray taken on 01/18/25. The DON said the facility would not call a fracture, until the NP/Dr.
called it a fracture.
An interview on 06/19/25 at 11:00 a.m., the Administrator the facility had received Resident #4 ' s x-ray
results of a fracture on 01/18/25 at 7:00 p.m., but her NP had ordered a repeat to confirm the finding. The
Administrator said the repeated x-ray was done and confirmed on 01/19/25 that Resident #4 had sustained
an acute right distal fibular diametaphyseal fracture. He said he reported the fracture within 2 hours of
confirming fracture. The Administrator said he did not report the fracture to state on 01/18/25 because
Resident #4 ' s NP had not confirmed the fracture.
A telephone interview on 06/19/25 at 12:48 p.m., NP T said he had ordered a repeated x-ray for Resident
#4 to confirm the findings of the first x-ray which indicated she had a distal fibular diametaphyseal fracture.
He said the second x-ray would serve as a confirmation only and he would go with the first x-ray findings to
diagnose her as having a fracture.

interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance (delusions and
hallucinations), mood disturbance, and anxiety. Record review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment
dated [DATE] reflected a blank BIMS score, which indicated a severe cognitive impairment. There were no
potential indicators of psychosis, verbal behavioral symptoms occurred 1 - 3 days, and other behavioral
symptoms not directed toward others (e.g., physical symptoms such as hitting or scratching self, pacing,
rummaging, public sexual acts, disrobing in public, throwing, or smearing food or bodily waste, or
verbal/vocal symptoms like screaming, disruptive sounds) occurred 1 - 3 days. Record review of Resident
#2's quarterly care plan dated 06/13/2025 reflected the following: Problem: Resident #2 has a behavior
problem r/t vascular dementia, mood disorder, delusional disorder:RP refuses psychiatric services. Only
wants primary MD (Medical Doctor) to follow up with behaviors (no date); Resident #2 noted eating crayons
during activity time. Apt to put activity objects in mouth (no date),Goal: Resident #8 will have fewer episodes
by review date (date initiated 07/09/2021, revision on 12/26/2024, target date 09/16/2025).Interventions: no
interventions noted for Resident #2's behavior of eating crayons. During an observation on 07/11/2025 at
10:07 p.m., Resident #2 was observed pacing back and forth down the memory unit's hall. His steps were
balanced and steady. He was not interviewable. In an interview on 07/11/2025 at 10:15 p.m., CNA KK said
she had worked with Resident #2 for over 2 years. She said Resident #2 kept to himself and walked
repeatedly down the memory unit hall. She said at times he had been physically combative with staff and
other residents. She said there had been times in which he had refused care but was easily redirected. She
said Resident #2 liked to put small objects in his mouth and/or lick them. CNA KK said staff in the memory
unit know Resident #2's behavior of trying to take small objects from them so as soon as they see Resident
#2 approach them, they will hide those small objects and redirect him. In an interview on 07/11/2025 at
1:45 p.m., the MDS D said it was her responsibility to ensure a resident's MDS, and care plan were
accurate and updated. She said if a resident had a problem related to behaviors and continued with the
same behavior(s) at the next assessment, she would not update it. She said if the resident displayed a new
behavior problem(s), she would simply add to the existing problem (behavior) listed on their previous care
plan assessment. MDS D said her office was housed in the memory unit and for the most part would spend
her time out in the memory unit's hall while she worked. She said this allowed her to become familiar with
the residents. MDS D said Resident #2's behavior problems included, banging on doors, wandered into
other residents' rooms and went through their closet/drawers, took small objects they had, and being
aggressive

with staff and other residents. She said Resident #2's behavior problems were a weekly occurrence and
needed constant redirection. She said she remembered a time when the Activity Aide mentioned to her
look [Resident #2] tried to eat crayons while he participated in an activity. She said she immediately cared
for his behavior but forgot to include an initiation date for that behavior. She said she had also failed to
include intervention(s) for that behavior. MDS D said in hindsight, she should have not been so specific but
rather entered a general statement that read, Resident #2 likes to put small objects in his mouth and/or lick
them. She said an interventionshe could have entered was to keep small objects away from his reach and
to redirect him. The MDS D said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #2 for not having any
interventions in place for his behavior of eating crayons. She said the staff that worked in the memory unit
were aware of his behavior and would keep a close eye on him and knew not to give him any small
objects.In an interview on 07/15/2025 at 10:15 a.m., the Activity Aide said she was housed in the memory
unit Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and her partner would work the same hours on the
weekends. She said Resident #2 participated in activities but would not stay the entire time as he preferred
walking back and forth down the hall. She said she was aware Resident #2 had behavior problems and
recalled a time in which he tried to put crayons in his mouth. She said she could not give a date when that
happened. She said she had informed MDS D because she was in the unit. She said she was pretty sure
they told the Charge Nurse but did not remember. The Activity Aide said she knows not to give or leave any
small objects accessible to Resident #2 because he liked to place them in his mouth. She said whenever he
is participating, she would use a beach ball or music activities. In an interview on 07/15/2025 at 11:36 a.m.,
the DON said the facility's MDS nurse was responsible for ensuring residents' care plans were accurate
and updated. He said a resident's behaviors should be care planned, and interventions set in place to
prevent future occurrences. The DON said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #2 not having any
interventions for his behavior (eating crayons) because staff in the memory unit knew his behaviors and
there were always plenty of staff to redirect him. Record review of the facility's Comprehensive Care Policy
dated 10/24/2022 reflected the following:Policy:It is a policy of this facility to develop and implement A
comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with a resident right, that includes

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
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents remained free from
accidents, hazards and each resident received adequate supervision and assistance while providing care
for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents and supervision. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #1 received supervision when outside in his wheelchair. Resident #1 wheeled his way down the
parking lot to the road, flipping his wheelchair where the parking lot met the roadway pinning Resident #1
on the roadway where he was unable to get up. The non-compliance was identified as past
non-compliance. The Immediate jeopardy began on 12/31/2024 and ended on 01/02/2025. The facility had
corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all
residents in the building by causing resident injuries, such as falls, fractures, and even death due to
improper supervision. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission record dated
06/17/2025 revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male with an admission date of 12/27/2024. Diagnoses
included dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning - to such an

around 01:15 PM she was arriving at the facility to visit another resident. She said she was trying to find a
parking spot when she noticed a resident in a wheelchair trying to escape down the parking lot. The visitor
stated the resident reached the road, and his wheelchair hit the pothole between the parking lot and the
road. She said the wheelchair tipped over and threw the resident out of the wheelchair, and it landed on top
of him. She said she ran to him and took the wheelchair off him and helped him back into his wheelchair.
The visitor stated she asked the resident where he was going, and he told her he was going downtown.
She said at that time staff started coming down to help the resident. She did not know how the staff found
out the resident had fallen. In an interview on 06/19/2025 at 01:08 PM BOM G stated the receptionist was
the one who told her a resident had fallen outside. BOM G stated she when she went out, Resident #1 was
on the ground with his wheelchair next to him. She said at the time, the visitor, the receptionist, ADON H,
ADON I, and the Interim Administrator were there. BOM G stated Resident #1 said he was moving, tripped,
and he was fine. In an interview on 06/19/2025 at 01:15 PM LVN F stated on 12/31/2024 he was at the
nurse's station when he was told Resident #1 had fallen outside. LVN F stated he stayed at the nurse's
station when the other nurses ran outside. LVN F stated he remembers when the resident came back in,
and LVN F stated the resident was assessed by him and ADON I who was no longer working at the facility.
LVN F stated he thinks he remembers a skin tear, but he was unsure. LVN F stated if a resident had a BIMS
of 13 or more, they could sign themselves out of the building, but if the BIMS was less than 13, a family
member, nurse, or CNA had to sign or take them out. He said sometimes Activities would take a resident
out, but they had to clear it with the nurse before they would take them out. In an interview on 06/19/25 at
09:35 AM The DON stated Receptionist JJ was terminated on 01/14/2025 for taking Resident #1 outside
and leaving him unsupervised. Termination papers along with file reviewed by surveyor. In an interview on
06/19/2025 at 04:55 PM, the DON stated if a resident wanted to go outside, the DON could take the
resident outside. He said if a family member, with the RP's permission, could take their resident outside, or
a CNA could, or a nurse could. The DON stated if the resident had a good BIMS of 13 or above, they could
go outside alone and if the BIMS is less than 13, they would have to be supervised. The DON stated the
door at the front was always locked so the receptionist had to screen before opening the door. The DON
stated Code Yellow was announced for missing residents. He said the last in-services on elopement,
residents going outside were last Monday (06/16/25) and they are on-going. In an interview on 06/19/2025

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received therapeutic diets
that were prescribed by the attending physician for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #8) reviewed for therapeutic
diets.The facility failed to ensure Resident #8 received a house shake on 07/14/2025 with his breakfast tray
as ordered by his physician with orders dated 07/11/2025 for a house shake with meals for malnutrition and
a revised order effective 07/14/2025 for a house shake with meals for supplement.This failure could place
residents at risk for poor intake, weight loss, unmet nutritional needs, and a loss of dignity.Findings
Included:Record review of Resident #8's admission sheet dated 07/14/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old
male with an admission date of 01/14/2020, with a diagnoses which included vascular dementia (brain
damage caused by multiple strokes), cognitive communication deficit (deficits in communication skills
resulting from cognitive impairments like attention, memory, problem-solving, and sequencing), need for
assistance with personal care, and age-related physical debility (decline in physical function and strength
that commonly occurs with aging).Record review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE]
reflected a BIMS score of 04, which indicated his cognition was severely impaired.Record review of
Resident #8's quarterly care plan dated 06/12/2025 reflected a nutritional problem related to current diet:
regular diet, mechanical soft texture, regular liquids consistency, add fortified foods with all meals (date
initiated 01/28/2020 and revised on 02/26/2024). His goal was to maintain adequate nutritional status as
evidenced by maintaining weight through review date (date initiated 01/28/2020 and revised on
01/20/2025). Resident #8's interventions in part included, provide, and serve supplements as ordered: Med

a house shake with meals for malnutrition and a revised order effective 07/15/2025 for a house shake with
meals for supplement.During an observation on 07/15/2025 at 10:25 a.m., this Surveyor, while observing
residents in the memory unit, noticed a meal tray on the dining room counter. As per the meal ticket on the
meal tray, it belonged to resident #8. The food and drinks on the tray seemed untouched. His meal ticket

at 10:35 a.m., the DM said she was responsible for ensuring all residents' meals were served according to
their physician's orders. She said each resident had a meal ticket which indicated their diet, texture,
allergies, dislikes, and any standing order(s). She said she would print the meal tickets on a daily basis, and
that was how the dietary aides would know what to serve each resident. The DM said there were several
ways in which she would know if a resident received a new dietary order for a house shake. She said one
way would be for the nursing staff that received the order to complete a dietary slip which indicated the new
order and given to her. Another way would be if the nursing staff noticed the house shake was not included
in the resident's meal tray, they would let her know, and the last way was when she did her weekly thorough
checks on any new orders for that week. The DM said if the resident's meal ticket did not indicate a house
shake, the dietary aides would not place one on their tray. The DM said the facility had been out of house
shakes for about a month. She said they were substituting the house shakes with fortified milk. The DM said

was observed as she inspected Resident #8's breakfast tray. She said, unfortunately the milk does not have
an F therefore he was served regular milk and Resident #8's milk ticket did not indicate house shake. She
said she was not given a dietary slip from the nurse that reflected Resident #8's order for a house shake.In
an interview on 07/15/2025 at 11:00 a.m., LVN F said he had notified Resident #8's NP that on 07/11/2025,
he had refused his breakfast and only eaten 30 % of his lunch. He said the NP gave an order for a house
shake with each meal. LVN F said he did not remember if he had completed a dietary slip for Resident #8's
house shake order nor did her remember if he had notified the DM. LVN F said he had corrected Resident
#8's order on 07/15/2025 to reflect house shake for supplement. He said on 07/11/2025, he had indicated
the house shake for malnutrition, and Resident #8 was not malnourished. LVN F said he was not aware the
facility was out of house shakes. He said if a resident had an order for a house to shake, the Charge Nurse
would have to sign off on it. He said since the facility was out of house shakes, they would still sign off on it
but enter a code 9 which indicated other/see progress notes.In an interview on 07/15/2025 at 11:15 a.m.,
Resident #8 refused to be weighed. He said he had already weighed himself.Record review on 07/15/2025

on 07/11/2025, Resident #8's NP ordered a house shake with each meal because on same day he had
refused breakfast. The DON said he was not aware the facility was out of house shakes. He said he had
known the facility was out of house shakes, he would have updated Resident #8's order to reflect fortified
milk. He said he would be calling the facility's Dietician to verify if the fortified milk the residents were being
given equated the same nutrients as a house shake before he was able to say if Resident #8 had any
negative effects due been given fortified milk instead of a house shake. This surveyor requested the
facility's physician's orders policy but was given physician visits and physician delegation instead. The DON
said that was the only policy related to following physician orders they had.Record review on 07/15/2025 of
the facility's Supplement Conversion Table (undated) reflected:House shake conversion:House shake-1
carton converted to 8 oz. (ounces of fortified milk.In an interview on 07/15/2025 at 11:47 a.m., the
Administrator said he had not been informed the facility was out of house shakes but knew the house
shakes had been replaced with fortified milk. He said ideally, best practice the environment. He should have
been informed the facility was out of house shakes. He said the management team, which included DM,
met twice a day (9:00 am and 4:00 pm) and that is where they discuss any issues/concerns of the day. The
Administrator said, we need to get better with communication and if there's an issue, we need to find out
the root cause. The Administrator said there were no negative outcomes to Resident #8 for not being
served a house shake because it was substituted with fortified milk.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the accurate acquiring, receiving,
dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals to meet the needs of each resident for 1
(Resident #3) of 5 residents reviewed for pharmacy services.
The facility failed to verify there was a physician's order for Haldol (an antipsychotic) and to ensure the
order had an indication of its use.
This failure could place residents at risk for receiving an antipsychotic medication without a physician's
order or an indication for use resulting in a resident receiving a medication which could cause a decline in
health status.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #3's admission record dated 06/17/2025, revealed an admission date of
08/15/2024, and a re-admission date on 11/25/2024, with a diagnoses which included dementia (a group of
thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) without behavioral disturbance,
psychotic disturbance (delusions and hallucinations), mood disturbance, and anxiety, and traumatic
subdural hemorrhage (a type of bleeding near the brain that can happen after a head injury) with loss of
consciousness of 30 minutes or less.
Record review of Resident #3's admission MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS of 01, indicating severe
cognitive impairment. There were no potential indicators of psychosis, and no behavioral symptoms were
indicated. Active diagnoses included: traumatic brain dysfunction (an impairment in the normal functioning
of the brain caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head), and dementia. Resident #3 was
not receiving an antipsychotic.
Record review of Resident #3's Progress Note written by LVN J, dated 10/28/2024 at 11:18 AM revealed,
As per NP (NP S), new order for Haldol Decanoate 50mg IM Q month for aggression behavior.
Record review of Resident #3's Progress Note on 10/28/2024 at 11:19 AM written by LVN J revealed,

During an interview on 06/26/2025 at 10:25 AM PA N stated when she talked with MD O about Resident #3
and the Haldol order, MD O said he was not familiar with the Haldol order for Resident #3, and he would
not have ordered Haldol to him. PA N stated NP S (the one who ordered Haldol for Resident #3, was no
longer working at the doctor's office).
During an interview on 06/26/2025 at 01:14 PM LVN P stated for an antipsychotic to be given to a resident,
the LVN needed to make sure she had a consent form, the correct diagnosis, the right reason, the right
time, the right route, the right patient, and the right documentation. She stated if all those were not checked,
a medication error could happen.
During an interview on 06/26/2025 at 01:48 PM LVN K stated he could not recall if he had administered the
Haldol injection to Resident #3 on 10/29/2024 or not. He stated he had just started working as a nurse and
at the facility (October 2024). LVN K stated Resident #3 did not have behaviors.
In an interview on 06/26/25 at 05:33 PM, the DON stated all orders must be complete. If the orders were
not complete, they needed to be fixed by confirming with the doctor. The DON stated he had seen Resident
#3's Haldol order had been given by NP S to LVN J on 10/28/2024, (LVN J no longer worked at the facility),
and LVN K had written in the Progress Notes he had administered the Haldol on 10/29/2024 although the
order was not on the MAR so it could not be checked off on the MAR. The DON stated the order should be
checked by the nurse before the Haldol was administered.
A review of the facility's policy Medication Administration dated 10/24/2022 revealed the following:
Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines:
10. Review MAR to identify medication to be administered.
11. Compare medication source (bubble pack, vial, etc.) with MAR to verify resident name, medication
name, form, dose, route, and time.
17. Sign MAR after administered.

Residents Affected - Some
observation and interview on 06/18/25 at 9:00 a.m., Resident #4 was observed sitting in his wheelchair in
the memory unit's dining room. He did not have any visible bruising or any facial grimacing. Resident #4
closed his eyes when this surveyor started speaking to him. An interview on 06/18/25 at 9:15 a.m., LVN A
said Resident #4 had sustained a fall on 05/24/25 at around 7:35 a.m., while walking down the hall of the
memory unit. She said she was also in the hallway when a nurse aide reported to her Resident #4 had
fallen. She said she found Resident #4 lying on his left side. She said she had immediately assessed him
and the only injuries he had were a red mark on his cheek and a skin tear to his left hand. LVN A said
Resident #4 told her, his foot caught his other foot while walking pushing his wheelchair and fell. She said
she immediately notified his NP (no new order given) and proceeded to cleanse his wounds. She said she
then proceeded to cleanse his wounds and checked his vitals. She said after his vitals were checked; she
initiated the neuro checks. LVN A said during one of the 30-minute neuro checks, she noticed Resident #4
had a nosebleed. She said she called his NP again at 9:12 a.m., to let him know of the nosebleed and gave
ordered for Resident #4 to be sent out to the ER to rule out brain bleed from the fall. LVN A said Resident
#4 came back the same day with a diagnosis of a left sinus fracture. LVN A said she had contacted
Resident #4's NP twice the morning of 05/24/25. She said she had documented Resident #4's fall and
nosebleed on his electronic medical record under progress notes and on the neuro check where his
nosebleed had been noticed. In an interview on 06/19/25 at 2:00 p.m., LVN A said she had completed
Resident #4's neuro check #13. She said she had forgotten to enter the date and time but had answered
the rest of the questions. LVN A said she thought she had documented Resident #4's nosebleed on the
neuro check but did not know why there was no record of it. She said there were no negative outcomes to
Resident #4 not having his neuro check #13th dated/timed, or his nosebleed documented on his electronic
medical record. In an interview on 06/19/25 at 2:45 p.m., LVN F said he was supposed to complete
Resident #4's neuro checks # 16 and 17 on 05/26/25. He said he did not remember why neuro checks #16
and #17 were blank. He said he did not remember if it was because Resident #4 had refused or if it had
been a computer error that the information had not populated. This surveyor asked him what he meant by a
computer error and his response was band width issues. LVN F said there were no negative outcomes to
Resident #4 not having neuro checks #16 and #17 completed because Resident #4 had been stable that
night. An interview on 06/19/25 at 3:00 p.m., the DON said on 05/24/25, Resident #4 had reported he was
walking towards the dining area in the memory unit when he fell. The DON said Resident #4 was found
lying to his left side in the hallway, he had redness to the left side of the cheek and a skin tear to left hand.
He said Resident #4 had given a description of how he had fallen. The DON said after he had been
assessed head-to-toe, his NP had been notified. The DON said what he thought had happened was that
the NP had not answered the first time, and he later called back and had given orders to send to the ER for
treatment, evaluation, and a CT scan. He said the neuro checks were initiated at 7:10 am on 05/24/25 and
continued after Resident #4 returned from the hospital. He said neuro check #13, was not dated or timed
on 05/25/25 and neuro checks #16 and #17 had been left blank. The DON said it was his responsibility to
check on a daily basis any assessments to include neuro checks were done by his nursing staff to ensure
they were completed correctly. The DON said when he checked any assessment and did any corrections,
his name populated as signed by. He said he missed Resident #4's neuro check 13th had not been dated
or signed by LVN C. The DON said on 05/26/25 which he checked Resident #4's neuro checks completed
on 05/26/25, he noticed neuro check #16 and #17 had been left blank by LVN F. The DON said he ensured,
Resident #4 had his vitals checked on 05/26/25 and that they were within normal range. The DON said no
negative outcome to Resident #4 for not having his neuro checks #13, #16,

aware that LVN C had gotten a hold of Resident #4's NP the first time she called him on 05/24/24, that

given orders to send to the ER. The DON said he did not find that information on Resident #4's electronic
medical records (progress notes or neuro checks). The DON said Resident #4 had sustained a fracture to
the left maxillary sinus. This Surveyor asked the DON to review Resident #4's page 3 of his discharge form
from the ER department where it reflected, he had sustained a fracture to the left maxillary sinus anterior,
medial, and lateral walls and a left inferior orbital wall fracture which was minimally to nondisplaced. The
DON said he had not read about the fracture to the left inferior orbital wall but that it did not matter because
it was all the same area. He said both fractures would heal on their own therefore, there were no negative
outcome to Resident #4 not having his second fracture (left inferior orbital wall) documented on his
electronic medical record. Record review of the facility's Documentation in Medical Record policy dated
