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 implement written policies and procedures
that prohibit and prevent neglect and misappropriation for two of two incidents (Resident #162 and
Resident #300) reviewed for reporting.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to follow their policy to report to the State Survey Agency when Resident #162 was
found in bed and had been bitten by fire ants.
2. The Administrator, who was the Abuse Prevention Coordinator, failed to follow their policy to report to the
State Agency and initiate an investigation after being informed of a written allegation of misappropriation
made by Resident #300's family member.
This failure could place the residents in the facility at risk of continued abuse and neglect.
Findings included:
Record Review of the facility's policy titled Abuse and Reporting Policy revised July 2017, reflected the
following:
Policy:
All reports of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of resident property, mistreatment

subarachnoid hemorrhage (intracranial bleeding), and difficulty in walking. Resident #162 had a BIMS of 7
which mean his cognition was severely impaired. The MDS further reflected the resident had impairment to
one side of his upper and lower extremities. Resident #162 was dependent upon staff for all ADLs.
Review of Resident #162's care plan revised on 09/18/24 reflected the resident had an ADL self-care
performance deficit related to immobility. Interventions included needing assistance from staff for all ADLs.
The care plan further reflected the resident had a communication problem related to the diagnosis of
aphasia. Interventions included to allow adequate time to respond, repeat as necessary, do not rush and
request clarification from the resident to ensure understanding.
Review of Resident #162's weekly body audit dated 10/21/24 reflected he had ant bites to the right and left
side of his abdomen.
Review of Resident #162's progress notes dated 10/22/24 reflected the following:
Benadryl Allergy Oral Capsule 25MG Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for itching
Observation and interview with Resident #162 on 11/12/24 at 1:23 PM revealed he was in his room sitting
in a gerichair. The resident was opening and closing his eyes and when asked how he was doing, he quietly
whispered he was ok. The resident was asked if he recalled being bitten by ants and the resident was
attempting to speak but closed his eyes and did not respond.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 5:15 PM with LVN H revealed CNA BB alerted her that Resident #162 had been
found in bed with ants that had been bitten, 10/21/24. LVN H said when she went in the resident's room,
she did not see any ants but said Resident #162 was not able to call for help or use his call light due to his
condition. She called the doctor and Benadryl was ordered for any discomfort.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 1:48 PM with CNA BB revealed she had gone to check on Resident #162 around
7AM and as she pulled the cover back off the resident, she noticed there were a lot of little red ants on the
bed and on the resident, 10/21/24. The Wound Care Nurse was in the room at the time the ants were found.
CNA BB said as they were trying to strip the bed of the covers, the ants were crawling on her hands as
well. Once they got all the ants off the resident and the bed, she noticed Resident #162 had bites on the
sides of his abdomen, and his back and also noticed there were food crumbs in his bed. She said Resident
#162 did not appear to be in any distress or pain at the time, and was just laying there. CNA BB stated she
did not think the resident was able to register what had happened. The resident was taken to the shower
right after to make sure all the ants had gotten off him. CNA BB said she worked with Resident #162 again
about two days later and during his shower, she had noticed the ant bites had turned in to small pustules.
CNA BB further stated that was the first time she had seen any ants in any room or that anyone had been
bit. She did not look to see where the ants had come in from because everything happened so fast.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 3:29 PM with the Wound Care Nurse revealed she had gone into Resident #162's
room for wound care, 10/21/24 and noticed there were ants on his foot and the wound dressing. She
immediately took the covers off Resident #162 and noticed he had been bit on his torso, his stomach and
possibly his legs. The resident did not appear to be in any distress at the time and was just laying there.
Resident #162 was cleaned up and taken to the shower by the aide. The Wound Care Nurse said she
noticed a banana peel on the floor and saw ants around that but did not notice where they had come in
from. The Wound Care Nurse further stated she was not aware of any other resident being

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Observation and interview on 11/12/24 at 3:32 PM with Pest Control revealed he was onsite at the facility
treating/spraying one of patios. He said he regularly serviced the facility and had been called after the
incident, 10/21/24, because ants had been found in the interior of the facility in the 500 rooms. Once he
arrived on 10/23/24, he did not see any active ants inside the rooms and when he treated the outside, he
found 3 mounds of fire ants and they had been up against the wall of the 500 hall, where Resident #162
had resided at the time he was bitten.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the Pest Control log book on 11/14/24 reflected the facility had been treated on the following
dates:
10/08/24 - preventative maintenance treatment throughout the exterior perimeter and service rodent bait
stations. No reported activity by [Maintenance Director]
10/23/24 - serviced rooms 501, 502, 504, 506, 507, 508, 509, for ants and treated kitchen.
11/13/24 - treated the exterior perimeter and ant mounts against the building and the surrounding areas of
the exterior of building perimeter where they found active mounts against the sidewalk close to the fire
hydrant and also treated both courtyards.
2. Record review of Resident #300's MDS reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident #300 discharged on 10/12/24. His
diagnoses included renal insufficiency, anemia, liver transplant status, and septicemia. Resident #300 had a
BIMS of 8 suggesting the resident has moderate cognitive impairment.
Interviews were attempted with complainant on 11/12/24 at 10:10 AM, 11/13/24 at 2:22 PM, and 11/14/24
at 1:46 PM.
Interview with Administrator on 11/14/24 at 2:01 PM revealed that Administrator had been employed at the
facility for four months. Administrator stated that Resident #300's family came to the facility on [DATE] and
picked up the resident's personal belongings. Administrator said that the family called about a week later
and stated that the resident's phone and wallet were missing. Administrator stated that he went and
checked the nurses' carts, rooms, etc. but could not located the missing items. Administrator revealed that
he interviewed the staff the following day and determined that a CNA observed the emergency transport
company place the resident's wallet and phone on the resident before they wheeled him out of the facility.
Administrator stated that he phoned the family and suggested that they call the ambulance/transport
company or hospital to determine if they had seen the wallet and phone. Administrator said that the family
filed a police report, and the police came and interviewed him about the missing wallet and phone.
Administrator was unable to provide documentation about the police interview/investigation. Administrator
revealed that he did not file a report with State Survey Agency because he did not believe the wallet and
phone were stolen. Administrator stated that he did not know the facility policy of an allegation of
misappropriation of resident property. Administrator revealed that what he normally does when he has an
allegation of misappropriation of property was first search for the missing item. If the item was not found, he
reported it to State Survey Agency, resident's physician, ombudsman, responsible part, APS, and law
enforcement.
Record review of October 2024 grievances reflected no grievances regarding the resident's missing items.

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 incorporate the recommendations from the PASARR Level
II determination and the PASARR evaluation report for 2 of 5 residents reviewed (Residents #15 and #80)
for PASARR assessments.
1. The facility failed to submit a Nursing Facility Specialized Services (NFSS) form requested by the specific
deadline for Resident #15.
2. The facility did not refer Resident #80 to the appropriate state-designated mental health authority for
review when he received a new diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder.
This failure could affect residents with psychiatric diagnoses who may not be evaluated and receive needed
PASRR services.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #15's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 09/13/24, reflected a BIMS score
was not completed. Resident #15 was noted to have impairment to both sides of his upper and lower
extremities but did not use any of the mobility devices listed. Resident #15 was dependent (meaning helper
does all of the effort and the resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) for chair/bed-to-chair
transfers. Resident #15's diagnoses included other neurological conditions (any disorder of the nervous
system), cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture), and
seizure disorder or epilepsy (a chronic brain disorder in which groups of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain
sometimes send the wrong signals and cause seizures).
Record review of Resident #15's care plan reflected the following: Focus: PASRR positive R/T pt identified
as having PASRR positive status related to an intellectual disability .MHMR of [County Name]. PCSP

Signature Page dated 08/23/24.
Telephone interview on 11/08/24 at 2:43 PM with Resident #15's HC revealed Resident #15 had his annual
PASRR meeting on 07/25/24 when a manual wheelchair was added to his treatment plan. Resident #15's
HC said she came back a month later and the facility had not made any progress on it. Resident #15's HC
said the facility had 20 business days or 30 calendar days to initiate the service that was added from the
07/25/24 meeting. Resident #15's HC said she knew the facility had lots of staff changes recently so it was
hard to stay in contact and get a status update.
Observation and an attempted interview on 11/13/24 at 9:25 AM of Resident #15 revealed he was in his
bed in his room, his bed was very low to the ground and a fall mat was at his bedside. Resident #15's
geri-chair was across the room. Resident #15 was not able to answer questions due to his condition
although he appeared to be okay.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 12:10 PM with MDS Coordinator QQ revealed she just started at the facility a
month ago and had not had the opportunity to work on Resident #15's PASRR services yet. MDS
Coordinator QQ said she was in attendance for Resident #15's recent annual PASSR meeting and the
wheelchair was marked as ongoing on the PCSP. MDS Coordinator QQ said she looked in the database
and saw that that DME (the wheelchair) was initially started on 07/25/24. MDS Coordinator QQ said once
something like DME was initiated, the therapy department was responsible for ensuring it was carried out.
MDS Coordinator QQ said she was only responsible for uploading the receipts in the database.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 12:25 PM with the DOR revealed he remembered bringing in a vendor to get
Resident #15 evaluated for a wheelchair based on a referral that was made. The DOR said from there he
sent over the quote and forms to the previous MDS Coordinator to be uploaded in the database and sent to
the PASSR unit for approval. The DOR said the CMWC was signed 08/23/24 and the vendor came out a
few days before that. The DOR said he never received any follow-up or heard anything more about
Resident #15's wheelchair.
Follow-up interview on 11/14/24 at 5:11 PM with MDS Coordinator QQ revealed she was responsible for
ensuring all PASSR paperwork was submitted through the database in a timely manner. MDS Coordinator
QQ said if PASRR paperwork was not submitted through the database timely, residents could miss out on
services.
2. Record review of Resident #80's face sheet, dated 11/14/24 reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #80 was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, unspecified on

Interview on 11/13/24 at 3:06 PM with the MDS Coordinator QQ revealed Resident #80 was given a
diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder on 03/06/24. She stated the only PASRR they have on file was for
01/18/22. She stated due to the new diagnosis Resident #80 required a new PASRR evaluation. She stated
it was the responsibility of MDS Coordinators for submitting PASSR's whether for newly admitted residents
or related to updates for new diagnoses for residents. She stated she had been employed since 10/07/24,
and was not employed when Resident #80 was given the diagnosis. She stated she was not sure why it
was not done. She stated upon employment she completed a general audit on resident clinical records but
did not complete an audit on PASRRs. The MDS Coordinator QQ stated by not reviewing resident PASRR
screenings along with diagnoses, placed residents at risk of not receiving needed services.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 4:01 PM with the Administrator revealed the MDS Coordinators were responsible
for updating the PASSR assessments and submitting them timely but had no information regarding
Resident #80 PASRR. He stated MDS Coordinators kept track of all PASRRs, and the [NAME] Nurse would
ensure PASRR were completed and submitted. He stated PASRR audits were completed prior to him being
employed in July 2024.
Record review of the facility's Preadmission and Screening Resident Record review (PASRR) Rules policy,
dated 03/15/23, reflected the following:

Ensure necessary information is communicated to the resident, and receiving health care provider at the
time of a planned discharge.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a final summary of the resident's status at the time
of the discharge was available for release to authorized persons and agencies, with consent of the resident
or resident's representative for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #110) reviewed for discharge summary.
The facility failed to complete a discharge summary after Resident #110 discharged from the facility on
08/24/24.
This failure could place residents at risk for a lack of continued care and services.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #110's face sheet, dated 11/13/24, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old
male who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged on 08/24/24.
Record review of Resident #110's admission MDS Assessment, dated 08/24/24, reflected he had a BIMS
score of 12, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. His diagnoses included other orthopedic conditions
(refers to ailments, injuries, or diseases that cause pain or dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system),
cancer (a disease resulting from uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells), and diabetes (a
metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged periods of time).
Record review of Resident #110's progress notes reflected on 08/23/24 at 2:00 PM Physician PP wrote:
Contacted by staff patient is wanting to go home with home health. Patient discharged home to work with
physical therapy at home. All other treatments to be handled by home health nurse and staff.
Record review of Resident #110's chart reflected a Discharge Instruction Form under the Assessments
section that was incomplete and blank; it had an effective date of 08/24/24.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 4:54 PM with the DON revealed the discharge summary was typically completed
by the discharging nurse after a resident discharged from the facility. The DON said the purpose of the
discharge summary was to give directions for what to do when the resident went home. The DON said she
expected staff to complete the discharge summary for residents after they left the facility. The DON said if
the discharge summary was not completed the resident might miss a follow-up appointment or not
understand something that needs to be done going forward after they get home.
Record review of the facility's Discharge Summary and Plan policy, revised 11/14/23, reflected the
following: 1. When the facility anticipates aa resident's discharge to a private residence, another nursing
care facility (i.e., skilled, intermediate care, ICF/IID, etc.), a discharge summary and a post-discharge plan
will be developed which will assist the resident to adjust to his or her new living environment.

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 residents received treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice for 2 of 5 residents (Resident #55 and Resident
#10) reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to ensure LA Z did not pick Resident #55 up and place her in her wheelchair before a
nurse was able to complete an assessment after she fell out of her wheelchair onto the hard-wood floor in
the dining room on 11/12/24. Resident #55 was seen on the floor with a pool of blood around her head and
was moaning in pain after she fell.
The facility failed to ensure CNA Y did not remove Resident #55 from the dining room area after she had a
fall from her wheelchair, before she could be assessed by a nurse, and while she was actively bleeding
from her head.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #10's dressings on her left heel, leg, and right hip were dated as per
the facility policy.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary medical care, harm, and death.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #55's admission Record, dated 11/12/24, reflected the resident was an [AGE]
year-old female who was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
Record review of Resident #55's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 08/26/24, reflected she had a BIMS
score of 00 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Resident #55 was noted to use a wheelchair and
required substantial/maximal assistance (meaning helper did more than half of the effort) for sit to stand
transfers. Resident #55's active diagnoses included non-traumatic brain dysfunction (brain injuries not
caused by external force), non-alzheimer's dementia (the loss of memory and other intellectual functions
severe enough to cause problems in one's abilities to perform their usual daily activities), and senile
degeneration of the brain (a decline in cognitive function, memory, and behavioral abilities). Resident #55
was also noted to have had falls since the prior assessment was completed that resulted in two or more
falls with and without injuries.
Record review of Resident #55's Physician's Orders reflected the following: Clean abrasion to right
forehead with wound cleaner then pat dry leaving open to air daily every day shift for abrasion with a start
date of 11/12/24.
Record review of Resident #55's Care Plan reflected the following: Focus: The resident has had an actual
fall .Goal: The resident will resume usual activities without further incident through the review date .
Record review of Resident #55's Fall Risk Screening, dated 11/12/24, reflected a score 15, indicating a
high fall risk.

Residents Affected - Few
Observation and interview on 11/12/24 at 10:00 AM of the 600-hallway revealed LA Z asking for a nurse
because a resident had fallen on the hard-wood floor in the dining room. This surveyor walked down the
600-hall to find a nurse and went to the dining room to check on the resident. LA Z was kneeled next to
Resident #55 who was laying on the floor on her stomach with a pool of blood coming from her head.
Resident #55 was observed to be moaning. This surveyor went to another nurse's station and then back
down the 600-hall trying to find the nurse when LA Z was seen transferring Resident #55 to her wheelchair
while pressing linen to her head where she was bleeding from. This surveyor found CNA Y in a resident's
room and explained to her that LA Z had just picked up Resident #55 and placed her in her wheelchair after
she had fallen and hit her head and was bleeding. The surveyor asked CNA Y where the nurse was and to
check on Resident #55 in the meantime. The surveyor went to the front to have a nurse paged to the dining
room as a resident had fallen and the nurse could not be located. The surveyor began walking down the
600-hall again and saw CNA Y wheeling Resident #55 down the hall away from the dining room while
pressing linen to her head where she was bleeding from. CNA Y brought Resident #55 to the nurse's
station where a nurse met them with a treatment cart. Resident #55 was grimacing and moaning.
Observation and interview on 11/12/24 at 10:25 AM of Resident #55 revealed she was sitting in her
wheelchair in a common area of the facility. Resident #55 had a large knot on the right side of her forehead
with a laceration in the middle of it. Resident #55 said she fell down and hurt herself really bad, but
someone picked her up from the floor and put her in her wheelchair. Resident #55 said her head was
hurting but she did not have pain anywhere else.
Observation on 11/12/24 at 10:30 AM of the dining room revealed it was hard-wood floor and had a yellow
wet floor cone that was covering a recently mopped area where Resident #55 had just fallen earlier.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 10:56 AM with LA Z revealed he had been employed at the facility for three
months. LA Z said he saw a resident had fallen out of their wheelchair in the dining room and as he got
closer he realized it was Resident #55. LA Z said he looked down the 600-hall to see if a CNA or nurse was
there and could not find anyone but saw a female walk out of a room pushing desk and a clipboard. LA Z
asked that person if a nurse was nearby and saw them take off assuming they were looking for a nurse. LA
Z said he looked back at Resident #55 and saw blood dripping from her head so he grabbed a pillow case
to put on her head. LA Z said he then picked Resident #55 up to put her in her wheelchair to get help at the
nurse's station. LA Z said he picked Resident #55 up because he saw her trying to get up on her own and
saw the blood coming from her head. LA Z said when he finished putting Resident #55 in her wheelchair he
saw a female and a CNA coming out of one of the rooms behind him. LA Z said then the CNA ended up
pushing Resident #55 in her wheelchair to the nurse's station. LA Z said he then took off to get a
housekeeper to clean and mop up the blood from the dining room floor. LA Z said the CNA told him he was
supposed to leave Resident #55 on the floor until a nurse

could assess her before moving her. LA Z said the CNA also told him to go wash his hands because he had
blood on them and did not use any gloves when he put the pillowcase to her head to stop the bleeding. LA
Z said he was not trained before today (11/12/24) on what to do if a resident had a fall.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 11:14 AM with CNA Y revealed she came out of a room on the 600-hall when the
surveyor came to get her. CNA Y said she walked down the dining room with the surveyor while she
explained that Resident #55 had fallen and was bleeding from her head. CNA Y said when she got to the
scene LA Z had pick Resident #55 up and placed her in her wheelchair. CNA Y said she saw Resident
#55's head was bleeding and there was a pillowcase on her head. CNA Y said the surveyor had explained
that someone was coming to the dining room but there was so much going through her mind at the time.
CNA Y said her first thought was to stop and make sure Resident #55 was okay and normally people would
come to the location to care for the resident where they fell. CNA Y said the fact that LA Z had already
picked Resident #55 up from the floor and no one was around, she decided to wheel her to find a nurse.
CNA Y said she should have stayed in the dining room area with Resident #55 while the surveyor went to
look for the nurse. CNA Y said it could have caused further harm to the resident by moving her and she
should not have wheeled her away from the area to the nurse's station. CNA Y said she had been trained
before today (11/12/24) to leave the resident where they were and to not move them before the nurse could
assess her.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 11:20 AM with HK X revealed she knew to not move or pick up a resident if they
had a fall but she had not been trained by the facility.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 11:27 AM with CNA W revealed she would move a resident from the scene of a fall
if they were picked up by someone else before the nurse was able to assess them. CNA W said she had
not been trained on what to do when a resident has had a fall before today (11/12/24).
Interview on 11/12/24 at 12:25 PM with the Wound Care Nurse revealed she was told Resident #55 had fall
on the floor and was transferred from the floor to the wheelchair. The Wound Care Nurse said she did a full
assessment on Resident #55 after taking her to her room. The Wound Care Nurse said a full skin
assessment was completed and neuro checks were started. The Wound Care Nurse said during the
assessment she noted Resident #55 had a skin tear to her forehead that was red with granulated tissue
and swollen. The Wound Care Nurse said Resident #55 told her that she was picking things up off the floor
and then boom and that guy picked her up like a baby and put her in the chair and then [the Wound Care
Nurse] came. The Wound Care Nurse said Resident #55 was on routine pain medicine and she did not
have any pain anywhere else. The Wound Care Nurse said staff were not allowed to move a resident after
they've had a fall because the nurse needed to complete an assessment. The Wound Care Nurse said LA Z
should not have picked Resident #55 up and CNA Y should not have wheeled her away from the area.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 1:00 PM with the ADON revealed she heard the page overhead for a nurse to
come down to the dining room. The ADON said she later saw Resident #55 at lunch eating and saw she
had an abrasion to her forehead. The ADON said if a resident had a fall, the staff who found her should get
a nurse immediately. The ADON said the resident had to be assessed by a licensed nurse before being
moved in anyway. The ADON said LA Z told her he did pick up Resident #55 before she was assessed by a
nurse. The ADON said she also saw CNA Y wheeling Resident #55 down the hallway before she was
assessed by a nurse.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 1:23 PM with the DON revealed LA Z saw Resident #55 on the floor and hollered
out for a nurse. The DON said LA Z picked up Resident #55 from the floor and put her in her

wheelchair. The DON said CNA Y then walked around the corner and saw Resident #55 in her wheelchair
and did not see a nurse so rolled the resident to the nurse's station. The DON said Resident #55 was
assessed by a nurse and was noted to have a head injury. The DON said Resident #55 must have hit her
head on the floor because she had a round bruised area to the right side on her forehead. The DON said
Resident #55's family, doctor, and hospice company were contacted about the incident. The DON said all
staff should know that if they were not a nurse they leave them there and get a nurse. The DON said the
nurse has to complete an assessment before being moved because it could cause further harm. The DON
said LA Z told her that he did not know to do that at the time. The DON said CNA Y's train of thought was
that since Resident #55 was already up in her wheelchair she needed to get her to the nurse. The DON
said she did tell CNA Y that she should have left Resident #55 in the area of where she fell and not moved
her. The DON said staff were trained on what to do when a resident had a fall but she was not sure if the
training was provided to non-direct care staff. The DON said she saw the importance from what happened
today to change that because non-direct care staff do not need to be picking up residents from the floor
after a fall. The DON said each department head was responsible for ensuring their employees were trained
on different topics. The DON said she expected staff to wait for a nurse to come and assess the resident
and not move them at all or from the area. The DON said if the resident was moved prior to a nurse's
assessment that could cause further injury. The DON said she was ultimately responsible for ensuring
residents were not moved prior to being assessed by a nurse after a fall.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 2:05 PM with the HK Supervisor revealed LA Z told him he saw Resident #55 on
the floor and since she was bleeding so he picked her up. The HK Supervisor told LA Z he was not
supposed to do that and instead was supposed to wait for a nurse. The HK Supervisor said he was
responsible for providing trainings to his staff on different topics. The HK Supervisor said he thought he had
trained LA Z on what to do when a resident fell but he was not sure.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 2:15 PM with the Administrator revealed he found out that LA Z assisted Resident
#55 in getting back to her wheelchair after she fell. The Administrator said CNA Y took Resident #55 in her
wheelchair from the area where she fell to the nurse's station. The Administrator said Resident #55 had
some bruising and a laceration to her forehead, but she was stable and acting as herself. The Administrator
said LA Z should not have picked Resident #55 up from the ground, that it was not right to do that if he was
not certified or licensed to do so. The Administrator said he was unsure if LA Z had been trained on what to
do when a resident had a fall. The Administrator said all staff should know to never pick up a resident before
a nurse completes an assessment. The Administrator said he ideally hoped what staff would do even if they
were not trained was to notify a certified person like a nurse before moving them in anyway.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 2:29 PM with HR revealed she was only responsible for orientation trainings that
covered fall prevention when someone was newly hired. HR explained that department heads or the
nursing department was responsible for any additional trainings for their staff.
Interview on the phone on 11/12/24 at 5:16 PM with Resident #55's family member revealed there was a
language barrier, but they were aware she had a fall and that she was okay.
Interview on the phone on 11/12/24 at 5:18 PM with Physician V revealed he was unsure if the facility had
communicated with him about Resident #55's fall and would have to confirm with his NP and office staff
first. The surveyor never received any follow-up phone calls.
Interview on the phone on 11/12/24 at 5:28 PM with Resident #55's Hospice company revealed a

orders and had only been given him 1 carton of formula for the past 3 days for breakfast and lunch. RN E
said risk of not giving Resident #44 the correct amount of bolus formula could cause the resident not to get
all of his nutrition.
Interview on 11/14/24 at 3:43 PM with the DON revealed she was not aware RN E had only been giving
Resident #44 1 carton of formula instead of 2. The DON said the resident had a recent weight loss but it
was related to him being in the hospital for 18 days of the prior month because he was having issues with
this gtube placement. The DON further stated Resident #44 ran the risk of not getting his entire nutrition
and less calories if he was not given 2 cartons of formula.

care in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #30) reviewed for
hospice care.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #30, who was receiving hospice services, had a physician order for
hospice care.
These problems could result in residents not receiving needed care as ordered by their physician. These
problems had the potential to affect any resident receiving hospice care services.
Findings included:
Record review of the optional State Assessment Item Set MDS for Resident #30, dated 09/09/24, reflected

Interview on 11/14/24 at 11:18 AM with LVN CC revealed that she did not see an order to admit to hospice
care in the physician's orders. LVN CC stated that the importance of a hospice order to admit was for staff

hospice company, and the resident's code status. LVN CC stated that facility policy stated that if a resident
was on hospice, an order to admit to hospice services should be written by the admitting physician and
listed on the physician's orders. LVN CC also revealed that a hospice aide came to provide services for
Resident #30 three times per week. LVN CC stated that she consulted with the hospice aide after the aide
provided care to the resident. LVN CC said that she spoke to the hospice nurse also when she came to the
facility to provide care to Resident #30. LVN CC revealed that she discussed the resident's plan of care and
needed medications. LVN CC concluded that without an order to admit to hospice, there as a risk to the
resident because the nurse could possibly not be treating the resident appropriately including not ordering
the correct medication. LVN CC said that if a nurse did not see an order to admit to hospice, they should
notify the DON. LVN CC

with Resident #162 again about two days later and during his shower, she had noticed the ant bites had
turned in to small pustules. CNA BB further stated that was the first time she had seen any ants in any

from. The Wound Care Nurse further stated she was not aware of any other resident being bit and had
never seen any ants in other rooms.

at his phone. The resident was asked about having ants in his room and he said he had been at the facility
for about two weeks and had never seen any ants in his room. Resident #107 did not recall telling anyone
he had seen any ants. Further observation of the resident's room revealed there were no ants in his room
or around his window or PTAC.
Interview on 11/12/24 at 5:15 PM with LVN H revealed she was told by Resident #107 there were ants in
his room and when she went to see, she did not see any but she let the Maintenance Director know so he
could treat the room.

revealed there were 7 active ant mounds. The Maintenance Director stepped on the ant piles and confirmed
the ants were active. The ant beds were located along the 100 hall, 200 hall, and the 300 hall against the
facility walls and in between resident rooms.

the last time he had completed a walk around of the facility was on 11/04/24 and the ant beds were not
there. He said Pest Control was on site today, 11/12/24, treating the facility. The Maintenance Director said
he was told Resident #162 had been bit by ants but by the time he went the room he did not see any active
ants. Resident #162 was moved to another room and Pest Control was called so they could treat all the
rooms on the 500 hall, where Resident #162 resided at the time he was bit. The Maintenance Director also
said LVN H had told him there were ants in Resident #107's room yesterday, 11/11/24 and when he went to
the room, he did not see any ants after inspecting the room. He went ahead and treated the room just in
case. The Maintenance Director then went and did a walk through of patio and he noticed an ant bed
