demeaning to Resident #54. She stated she believed that the staff should treat residents like they would
want their family treated and she did not think this was appropriate.
In an interview on 12/19/23 at 10:30 AM, LVN H stated she had not thought about #54transferring in the
shower chair back and forth down the hall to his room partially clothed, but she could see that it could be
considered a dignity issue.
In an interview on 12/20/23 at 2:00 PM with the DON, stated it was her expectation that residents should be
fully clothed when in the hallways and not transported in a shower chair. She stated this would be a dignity
issue and it should not happen. She stated she was not aware that it was occurring, and her expectation
was that a resident be transported in their wheelchair fully clothed to provide privacy. She stated charge
nurses should monitor these activities.
Review of Resident #75's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 09/10/23, revealed she had clear speech, was
understood by others, and was able to understand others. Resident #75 was cognitively intact. Her
diagnoses included: dementia (loss of memory and cognition), hypertension (high blood pressure), and

Review of the Beneficiary Protection Notification Review worksheet for Resident #83 revealed she had
received Medicare Part A Services from 8/21/23 through 10/17/23. The resident remained in the facility. The
form documented the facility/provider initiated the discharge from Medicare Part A services when benefit
days were not exhausted. The form documented Unable to locate - See plan of correction in the sections for

Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 12/20/23 at 2:30 PM, the Social Worker stated she was responsible for sending
notification to residents or their representatives when Medicare A benefits were going to end.
In an interview on 12/20/23 at 2:47 PM, the Social Worker stated the only form she had used when
notifying residents or their representatives when skilled benefit days would end was the NOMNC. She had
not used the SNF ABN form.
In an interview on 12/21/23 at 12:18 PM, the Social Worker returned the completed SNF Beneficiary
Protection Notification Review forms for Resident #3 and Resident #83. She stated she did not have the

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate the assessment of one (Resident #72) of two
residents with the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR) program.
The facility did not identify Resident #72 as having a newly evident mental illness with a primary diagnosis
of dementia after she acquired a new diagnosis that would require a new PASRR Level 1 (PL1) form or
PASSR 1012 form be completed.
This failure could affect residents with psychiatric diagnoses who may not be evaluated for PASRR services
and place them at risk of not receiving services for care and treatment.
The findings were:
Review of Resident #72's Face Sheet and Orders dated 12/20/23 revealed she a was a [AGE] year-old
female who was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #72's
diagnoses included: dementia (thought process that interferes with daily function) which was added on
04/2/21, delusional disorder (altered reality), psychotic mood disorder with hallucinations (mental condition
that causes you to lose touch with reality, main symptoms are delusions and hallucinations), major
depressive disorder recurrent and severe (severe altered mood), and post-traumatic stress disorder (
mental condition triggered by a terrifying event, causing flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety). All
added to her diagnoses on 08/31/22.
Review of Resident #72's's Physician Orders dated 12/20/23 revealed an order for Sertraline 50 mg by
mouth daily for major depressive disorder.
Review of Resident #72's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #72 had a moderate cognitive
impairment with a BIMS score of 12 (moderately impaired). No mood or behavior concerns were indicated.
Section N revealed the resident was currently taking the following high-risk medications: antipsychotics, an
antidepressant, and antiplatelet.
Review of Resident #72's PASRR Level One Screening Forms was dated 03/19/21, (before the resident's
initial admission into the facility) was completed by the transferring entity and revealed Resident #72 had no
diagnosis of mental illness, intellectual disability, or developmental disability.
Review of Resident #72's electronic medical record revealed there was not a second PL1 form, or a 1012
form (dementia/Alzheimer's) completed.
In an interview on 12/22/23 at 10:30 AM, the MDS coordinator stated she was responsible for the PASSR's
in the facility. She stated that Resident #72 should have had a new PL1 form completed when she was
diagnosed with the psychotic mood disorder, and major depressive disorder. She stated she will check with
her consultant and have her help to see what she can find out regarding a facility policy on PASRR. She
stated she was still learning. She stated that she has been there since 11/23 as the MDS coordinator. She
stated the diagnoses for #72's Mental illness were added after the original PL1 was done. She stated
another PASRR should be completed. She stated a negative outcome for the resident of not having another
PL1 completed would be that the resident may not receive needed care and services if he was eligible
under PASRR services.

gastro-esophageal reflux disease (stomach acid backs up into the esophagus).
Review of Resident #89's electronic health record revealed baseline care plan forms dated 11/17 /23 and
11/27/23. The forms did not document the name of the person who completed the form, the resident's
name, or the resident's representative's name in the area for signatures.
Review of Resident #89's admission MDS Assessment, dated 11/29/23, revealed a BIMS score of 2 out of
15 (severe cognitive impairment).
In an interview on 12/19/23 at 11:47 AM, Resident #89's family member stated he had not had the
resident's baseline care plan reviewed with him and he had not been provided with a copy of it. The family
member stated he had not attended a meeting to discuss the resident's care.
2. Resident #349
Review of Resident #349's admission Record, dated 12/22/23, revealed a [AGE] year-old male initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included: osteomyelitis left ankle and foot (bone

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, which included measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that
were identified in the comprehensive assessment and described the services that were to be furnished to
attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 8
residents (Resident #45) reviewed for comprehensive care plans.
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #45 after the resident
was admitted with an order for oxygen.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving care that is thoughtful, planned, and relevant to
their condition(s) which could lead to complications in resident health and quality of life and care.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident #45's face sheet, dated 12/22/2023, revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an
initial admission date of 03/16/2023 and the latest return date of 11/03/2023. The resident had diagnoses
which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a type of progressive lung disease
characterized by long-term respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation) and acute and chronic respiratory

and all were within limits with a range of 100-105 degrees. The sample of rooms would be rotated each day
and documented. The Administrator said he and only the Maintenance Director had access to hot water
heaters. They were the only 2 that can test the water daily. The procedure was for the water to run for 3
minutes and hold the digital thermometer under running water. This will be done daily for 4 weeks, testing
different rooms daily, and logging results. In-services started yesterday and were on-going until all staff
have been in-serviced. Staff will not be able to pick up their paycheck until they were in-serviced to assure
all staff are in-serviced.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needs respiratory
care, is provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, the residents' goals, and preferences for 2 of 4 residents (Resident #3 and
Resident #88) reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Some
A. Resident #3's and #88's nebulizer mask and tubing were not kept in a plastic bag when not in use.
B. Resident #3's oxygen cannula and tubing were not kept in a plastic bag when not in use.
This failure could place residents requiring oxygen at risk for respiratory infections due to the potential for
microorganisms infiltrating their oxygen, nebulizer equipment and supplies causing a decline in physical
health.
The findings Included:
Resident #3
Record review of Resident#3's MDS revealed he was a [AGE] year old male admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with the following diagnosis of Pulmonary Disease (a group of diseases that cause air-flow blockage
and breathing - related problem). He had a BIMS score of 11 which indicated moderate cognitive
impairment.
Review of Resident #3's care Plan dated 09/08/2021 revealed the following problem:
Resident has a history of altered respiratory status/difficulty breathing with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease and asthma, history of hospitalization for acute respiratory failure with low blood oxygen. Dated
revised on: 09/08/2021.
o Administer medication/inhalers as ordered. Monitor for effectiveness and side effects.
o Monitor for respiratory distress and report to as needed: Increased Respirations; Decreased Pulse
oximetry; Increased heart rate (Tachycardia);
Restlessness; Diaphoresis; Headaches; Lethargy; Confusion; Hemoptysis; Cough;
Pleuritic pain; Accessory muscle usage; Skin color changes to blue/grey.
In an observation on 12/19/2023 at 9:36 AM, during initial rounds, Resident #3's nebulizer mask was laying
on his bedside table open to air and not bagged.
In an interview and observation on 12/20/2023 at 10:00 AM, Resident #3's oxygen tubing and nasal
cannula was laying on the floor in his room. The resident said he was supposed to wear the oxygen all the
time but removed it because he thought they were going to come and take him for a bath. He stated he took
off the tubing himself. His nebulizer mask and tubing were laying on his bedside table to open air and not
bagged.

In an interview on 12/19/2023 at 12:04 PM, Charge Nurse F stated, all residents have to be observed
taking all of the medications, that is a rule. That was why I came into Resident #23's room. She said
potential negative outcomes could be the resident did not take all their medications, they might drop one on
the floor or another resident could take them.
In an interview on 12/21/2023 at 8:27 AM, the DON said medication aides and nurses are required to stay
with residents until they have taken all their medications. If a resident does not want to take the medication,
they should not leave them with the resident. The DON said potential negative outcomes could be the
resident did not get their medications or gets a partial dose, the nurse did not know what the resident has
taken, the resident could spill the medications on the floor, or another resident could take them.
2.In an observation and interview on 12/21/2023 at 07:30 AM the 300 hall nurses' medication cart was left
unlocked. LVN G was in a resident room and the unlocked cart was left in front of the closed door of the
resident's room. The nurse consultant came down the hallway and immediately locked the cart. She stated
it was her expectation that medication carts be kept locked at all times. She stated this was a failure on the
Nurses part to keep the med cart secured. She stated it could result in a drug diversion or a resident getting
the wrong medication. LVN G came out of the room and stated it was her first time at the facility, and she
was an agency nurse. She stated she did not realize she had left the cart unlocked. She stated this could
result in a drug diversion. She stated she was oriented to the facility this morning by the ADON.
In an interview on 12/21/2023 at 9:30 AM with the DON she stated she expected her nurses to keep the
med room door locked and the medication cart locked at all times when not in use. She stated failure to do
so could result in a drug diversion.
