on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including psychotic disorders (severe mental
disorders that cause abnormal thinking and perceptions), peripheral vascular disease {PVD} (problem with
poor blood flow), arthritis (swelling and tenderness of joints), and Parkinson (a brain disorder that causes
unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, and difficulty with balance and coordination).
Record review of Resident #17's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated he was usually
understood and usually understood others. The MDS indicated Resident #17cognition was moderately
impaired (BIMS score was 08). The MDS indicated Resident 17 required limited assistance with personal
hygiene, dressing and supervision with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and eating. The MDS indicated
Resident #17 was continent of bowel and bladder.
Record review of Resident #17's comprehensive care plan dated 02/16/23 indicated he had cognitive
impairment as evidenced by memory problems and impaired ability to make daily decisions. The
interventions was to explain all procedures, allow time for task, and reorient as needed.

During an interview on 05/10/23 at 2:16 p.m., CNA F said she was the aide who took Resident #17 the
coffee. CNA F said Resident #17 was sitting in his wheelchair when she brought in the coffee. CNA F said
before she could tell Resident #17 where his coffee was located on the table, he knocked it over spilling it
on himself and the floor. CNA F said Resident #17 was wearing grey sweatpants when the coffee spilled.
CNA F said she assisted Resident #17 to change his clothes but she did not see any marks because he
covered himself up. CNA F said she notified the nurse and then left the room.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/09/23 at 8:34 a.m., LVN E said she was the nurse on duty when Resident #17
spilled coffee on himself. LVN E said she assessed his left leg and noted a small, reddened area to his left
inner thigh. LVN E said she did not think much about the reddened area because it was small and Resident
#17 said it was fine and he did not complain of pain. LVN E said she made a note about the coffee spill in
the physicians' book at the nurse's station. LVN E said the physician would check the book on his next
rounds. LVN E said she did not report Resident #17's reddened area to the physician because his skin was
not opened; he had no pain and it was a minor change. LVN E said it was important to notify the physicians
of changes, but she did not feel this was anything major, so she did not notify the doctor. LVN E said she
did not report the coffee spill on 05/05/23 to the DON or administrator because it was a redden area, it was
not serious and she knew what happened. LVN E said she did not realize the redden area from the coffee
spill was considered a first-degree burn (affects the epidermis, or outer layer of skin).
During an observation and interview on 05/09/23 at 08:25 a.m., Resident #17 was sitting up in a wheelchair
in his room. Resident #17 said his left leg/thigh was fine. Resident #17 did not recall what happened
05/05/23 on the evening of the coffee spill.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 2:36 p.m., the ADON said the physician should have been notified of the
redness to Resident #17's leg from the coffee spill. The ADON said she expected the nurses to pick up the
phone and notify the physician of any changes. She said it was important to notify the physician of any
resident's changes so they would be aware and in case they wanted to order something new or stop
something.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 2:53 p.m., the DON said she expected nurses to notify the physician of
all changes whether minor or major. The DON said the charge nurses were responsible to notify the
physician of any changes and her and the ADON were to follow up. The DON said without notification, the
physician would not know if a resident had a change.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 3:26 p.m., the Administrator said she expected nursing staff to notify the
physicians of any changes to the residents. The Administrator said administration nurses were to follow up
on notifications. The Administrator said failure to notify the physician could impede the resident's care.
Record review of facility policy change of condition, observing, reporting and recording dated May 2017
indicated, It is the policy of this home to inform the resident, the resident's physician and if indicated the
residents responsible party of the following: #1 an accident or incident involving the resident which results

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an encoded, accurate, and complete MDS
discharge assessment was electronically completed and transmitted to the CMS System within 14 days
after completion for 1 of 2 resident (Resident #3) reviewed for discharge MDS assessments.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility did not ensure Resident #3's discharge MDS assessment was completed and transmitted within
14 days of completion.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not having records completed and submitted in a
timely manner as required.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated [DATE] indicated, Resident #3 was initially admitted on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses of memory loss and high blood pressure.
Record review of a discharge note dated [DATE] indicated Resident #3 expired in the facility.
During interview with the ADON/MDS coordinator on [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., she said while reviewing the
electronic medical record for Resident #3's MDS submissions the discharge MDS dated [DATE] was
completed but was not transmitted. The ADON/MDS coordinator said she was unaware she failed to
transmit Resident #3's discharge MDS. The ADON said she missed transmitting the discharge MDS for
Resident #3 by mistake. The ADON/MDS coordinator said she was responsible for ensuring the MDS was
transmitted correctly and timely.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:18 p.m., the DON said the ADON/MDS coordinator was responsible for
submitting the MDS' timely and accurately. The DON said the ADON/MDS coordinator used a calendar to
monitor the submissions. The DON said she was not auditing the MDS process.

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
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan to meet resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs identified in
the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 14 residents reviewed for care plans. (Resident #30)
The facility failed to develop a care plan for Resident #30's right wrist and hand contractures.
This failure could place the residents at increased risk of not having their individual needs met and a
decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 12/30/2022, indicated Resident #30 was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included unspecified fracture of upper end of right
humerus (break in the lower end of the upper arm), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic
inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs), and unspecified atrial fibrillation
(rapid, irregular heart rate).
Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #30 usually made
self-understood and sometimes understood others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #30 had a
BIMS score of 11, indicating her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated
Resident #30 required supervision for bed mobility, transfer, toilet use, and eating, limited assistance for
dressing, walking, and personal hygiene. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #30 had a range of
motion limitation in the upper extremity on one side.
Record review of the Comprehensive Plan of Care and the Interdisciplinary Care Plan both dated
01/19/2023, indicated Resident #30 did not have a plan of care for her right hand and wrist contractures.
Record review of Resident #30's physician's order dated 3/1/23, indicated OT (occupational therapy)
consult diagnosis right wrist drop due to post-surgical please evaluate for splint and assist patient with
splint application.
Record review Resident #30's physician's order dated 04/12/23, indicated to discontinue carrot splint to
right hand and continue previous hand splint to right hand as needed due to resident takes off per self.
During an observation on 05/07/23 at 10:05 AM, Resident #30's right hand was with a downward
contracture of her wrist. Resident #30's fingers were contracted to her palm with minimal movement.
Resident #30 did not have a splint in place to her right hand.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 1:36 PM, LVN B said the care plans were updated by the ADON. LVN B
said Resident #30's right wrist drop (contracture) should have been care planned so Resident #30 could
maintain some movement to her right hand. LVN B said the care plan would therefore indicate the
interventions being provided.

During an interview on 05/10/23 at 01:55 PM, the ADON said she was responsible of updating the care
plan. The ADON said she updated the care plan as soon as she received an order or when she completed
an MDS. The ADON said Resident #30's right wrist drop (contracture) should have been care planned and
was somehow missed. The ADON said by not having it care planned the staff would be not know that
Resident #30 had limited movement to her right hand.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:29, the DON said the ADON was responsible for updating the care
plans. The DON said Resident #30's limited range of motion to right hand should have been care planned
because she had a physical limitation and could not use her right hand. The DON said by Resident #30 not
having her right wrist drop (contracture) care planned could cause staff to be unaware of her limitation to
her right hand.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 3:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected the care plans to be
person centered and more detailed. The Administrator said the ADON was responsible of updating the care
plans. The Administrator said by not care planning Resident #30's right wrist drop (contracture), new staff
would be unaware of Resident #30's limitation to right hand.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an environment that was free of
accident hazards for 2 of 14 residents (Resident #17 and Resident #184) reviewed for accidents hazards
from hot coffee.
The facility failed to ensure safety measures were in place after Resident #184 received a second-degree
burn (burns that involve the epidermis and part of the lower layer of skin, the dermis. The burn site looks
red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful) from hot coffee that required treatment.
The facility failed to ensure safety measures were in place to prevent Resident #17 from obtaining an injury
from hot coffee.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 05/09/23. The IJ template was provided to the facility
on [DATE] at 11:14 a.m., While the IJ was removed on 05/10/23 at 4:14 p.m., the facility remained out of

#184 had a burn from the coffee. The Administrator said at some point later she became aware Resident
#184 had a burn. She said she did not report to HHS because they had implemented a plan to protect
Resident #184 from further burns and when they tested the coffee shortly after Resident #184 spilled the
coffee on herself, the temperature was within their policy range of 133-degree Fahrenheit. The ADM said
she did not think about the risk of other residents after she learned about Resident #184 because it was an
isolated event and they had implemented a plan for Resident #184.

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 residents requiring respiratory
care were provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 4 residents
reviewed for respiratory care (Residents #24).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #24 had an oxygen concentrator filter in place.
This failure could place residents who require respiratory care at risk for respiratory infections and
exacerbation of respiratory disease.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #24's face sheet dated 01/10/23 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female
who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses Alzheimer's Disease (a neurodegenerative
disease that slowly and progressively worsens), fracture of right hip, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(a progressive lung disease with log-term respiratory symptoms and airflow limitations), high blood
pressure, and high cholesterol.
Record review of Resident #24's most recent quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated she had a BIMS score
of 9 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #24 required extensive
assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion in her wheelchair, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene,
and bathing. The MDS in section O did not indicate resident had oxygen.
Record review of the care plan revised on 04/13/23 indicated Resident #24 had a condition called Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and she was at risk for symptoms such as cough, mucous, shortness of
breath, and/or wheezing. Interventions included Resident #24 was to be administered oxygen therapy as
needed. The care plan interventions also included, monitor for respiratory symptoms, and notify physician
of unrelieved symptoms.
Record review of Resident #24's Physician orders dated May 2023 indicated she had an order: May have
O2 (Oxygen) at 2-4liters/minute via nasal cannula to keep saturations above 90% or shortness of breath
with a start date of 01/19/23.
During an observation and interview on 05/07/23 at 09:42AM, an oxygen concentrator was to the right side
of Resident 24's bed. There was no filter in the oxygen concentrator filter slot. Resident #24 had oxygen on
via nasal canula and it connected to the concentrator. The concentrator was set at 3 liters/minute. Resident
#24 said she was not aware of the staff changing her filter.
During an observation on 05/08/23 at 09:13AM, Resident #24 was in her bed. She wore her nasal cannula,
and it was connected to the oxygen concentrator to the right of her bed. The oxygen was set at 3L/min.
There was no filter in the oxygen concentrator.
During an observation on 05/09/23 at 10:15AM, Resident #24 was in her bed. She wore her nasal cannula,

to the right side of her bed. There was no filter in the oxygen concentrator. LVN B said there should always
be a filter in Resident #24's oxygen concentrator and was not sure how it was missing. LVN B said filters on
the oxygen concentrators were important because they filtered dust and debris and bacteria away from the
resident. LVN B said the 10-6 nurses were responsible to ensure oxygen concentrator filters were cleaned
and replaced weekly on Wednesday nights. LVN B said if she would have noticed there was no oxygen filter
in place in Resident #24's oxygen concentrator she would have replaced it.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:23PM, the DON said it was the night shift's nurse responsibility to
ensure oxygen concentrator filters were cleaned and replaced weekly (every Wednesday night). The DON
said she expected all nurses to ensure the filters were in place and to replace filters if they noticed one was
missing from a concentrator. The DON said there was not currently a system in place, other than the
scheduled Wednesday night care related to oxygen filters. The DON explained the medication
administration record or treatment administration record did not have a sign off area. The DON said it was
important for oxygen filters to be in place/clean in the concentrators because the lack of the filter or a filter
covered in dust could increase residents' risk for respiratory infections and respiratory complications.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:51PM, the administrator said she expected residents' oxygen
concentrator filters to be clean and in place. The administrator said the 10-6 shift charge nurses were
responsible for changing the filters and tubing out weekly, but she expected all staff to be observant of the
concentrators during rounds on the halls. The administrator said it was important for the filters to clean and
in place to prevent residents from having breathing, or lung problems.
The facility policy Oxygen Administration dated October 2010 did not include information about the oxygen
concentrator filter.

Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated,
prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic
medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure psychotropic medications were not
given unless the medication was necessary to treat a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in
the clinical record for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. (Resident #26)
The facility failed to have an appropriate diagnosis or adequate indication for the use of Resident #26's
Seroquel (antipsychotic medication used to treat certain mental/mood disorders such as schizophrenia,
and bipolar disorder).
This failure could place residents at risk of receiving unnecessary psychotropic medications with possible
medication side effects, adverse consequences, decreased quality of life and dependence on unnecessary
medications.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #26's face sheet dated 03/02/2023 indicated he was an [AGE] year-old male
who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnosis of senile degeneration of the brain (mental loss
related to aging, dementia), edema (swelling related to fluid retention), hypertension (high blood pressure),
and atrial fibrillation (increased and irregular heart rate).
Record review of Resident #26's admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #26 did not have a BIMS
assessment because he was rarely/never understood related to severely impaired cognition. The MDS
indicated Resident #26 had a 0 score which indicated he had no signs and symptoms of depression or
mood disorder. The MDS indicated Resident #26 had behaviors of wandering daily. The MDS indicated
Resident #26 required supervision for transfers, bed mobility, walking, and eating, and limited assistance of
one person for dressing, toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident #26 had 7
days of antipsychotic medications given over the 7-day look back period and on a routine basis.
Record review of Resident #26's comprehensive care plan dated 03/09/23 indicated he had a diagnosis of
depression and was at risk for an altered mood. The care plan indicated an intervention for Resident #26
was to take his medication, Seroquel 25mg tablet daily.
Record review of Resident #26's physician orders dated April 2023 indicated Resident #26 had an order for
Seroquel (Quetiapine) 25mg tablet by mouth twice daily for the diagnosis senile degeneration of the brain
that started on 03/01/23.
Record review of the Consent for Antipsychotic and Neuroleptic Medication Treatment dated 03/01/23
indicated that Resident #26 was taking Seroquel 25mg tablet 1 by mouth twice daily for Alzheimer's
Disease and dementia with behavior disturbances and depression.
During an observation on 05/07/23 at 10:33AM Resident #26 was sitting in his recliner sleeping with visible
unlabored respirations. Resident had his call light within reach, walker and water. He had no extrapyramidal
symptoms noted.

Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 05/10/23 at 1:35PM Resident #26 was walking with his walker, with an unsteady
gait and posture, in the front lobby talking with another male resident.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 11:08AM the medical director said dementia with agitation was a
standard use with the antipsychotic medication Seroquel. He said other interventions should have been
placed for Resident #26 prior to using it. The medical director said Resident #26 admitted with the
medication and the family was resistant to allowing him to discontinue or reduce the Seroquel dosage.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:00PM, LVN A said the medication Seroquel was an antipsychotic and
it was not supposed to be used for residents with Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. He said he was
accustomed to other medications being used such as Namenda or Aricept. LVN A said he was not aware of
Resident #26 having a psychosis diagnosis so he could understand why Seroquel would be considered an
unnecessary medication. LVN A said the potential outcome of giving Resident #26 a medication with no
relevant indication or diagnosis could cause increase in falls or other adverse side effects of the medication.
He said they completed behavior monitoring every shift.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:20PM, the DON said Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, nor depression
were acceptable diagnosis for residents to take Seroquel. She said Resident #26 had the medication on his
orders upon admit. She said she was responsible for talking with the medical director to ensure residents
had appropriate diagnosis for medications but overall, the medical director would have to change any
diagnosis. The DON said she had talked to the medical director about Resident #26's medication list when
he had admitted so that he would review them and provide other alternatives, but the medications were
never changed. The DON said the pharmacy consultant had also reviewed the medications and no
changes were suggested. The DON said the failure of prescribing Seroquel without having an acceptable
diagnosis could have caused Resident #26 to have a decline as well as extrapyramidal symptoms or
increased confusion.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 02:55PM, the Administrator said Resident #26 should not have been
taking Seroquel for Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, or depression. She said overall the medical director and
the DON are responsible for ensuring residents have appropriate diagnosis for medications. She said the
failure of not having a proper diagnosis for the antipsychotic medication could cause Resident #26 to have
a decline as well as other issues with his care.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 03:15PM the pharmacy consultant said he was unsure about Resident
#26's medication without having his file. He said Resident #26 could possibly have an order for Seroquel for
adjunct therapy or if resident had failures with other medication trials.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 03:49PM Resident #26's responsible party said she was open to
changes with Resident #26 and medications. She said she lived out of town and did not attend care plans,
but the facility would call her. She said Resident #26 was prescribed the Seroquel by his neurologist and
had been taking the medication for a long time. She was unsure of the date.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure laboratory services were obtained to meet the
needs of 1 of 14 residents reviewed for laboratory services (Residents #25).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to obtain ordered CBC and BMP levels for Resident #25.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving timely diagnoses, treatment, and services to meet
their needs.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #25's face sheet dated 10/11/22, indicated a [AGE] year old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included anemia (a condition in which the body
does not have enough healthy red blood cells), congestive heart failure (condition in which the heart does
not pump blood as well as it should), cerebral infarction (also known as a stroke, refers to damage to
tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung
diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe).
Record review of Resident #25's comprehensive care plan dated 10/20/22, indicated he had a history of
congestive heart failure and was at risk for shortness of breath, chest pain, increased swelling, and blood
pressure. The care plan interventions included to give medications as ordered, monitor labs, and report any
abnormal labs to the medical director.
Record review of Resident #25's MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated he was usually understood and
usually understood others. Resident #25's had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 10,
indicating he had moderately impaired cognition. Resident #25 required supervision with bed mobility,
transfers, walking, locomotion, and eating.
Record review of Resident #25's physician orders for the month of April 2023, indicated he had an order for
CBC and BMP every 2 weeks.
Record review of Resident #25's medical record indicated CBC results obtained on 04/06/23 and BMP
results obtained on 04/05/23.There were no results found for Resident's #25's CBC or BMP for the week of
04/19/23 or the week of 05/03/23.
During an interview on 05/08/23 at 1:49 PM, the DON said Resident #25's CBC and BMP had not been
collected since 04/06/23. The DON said the lab order must have fallen off the system for the lab to collect.
The DON said the lab did not send any notification the order was about to expire and needed to be
reinstated.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 11:05 AM, the Medical Director said he expected the lab to be drawn as
ordered. The Medical Director said failure to do so could place the resident at risk for not having the proper
follow up on specific medical problems.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 1:36 PM, LVN B said when she received a lab order she would write the
order and then call the ADON or DON. LVN B said the DON and ADON were the only ones with access to

ordered as resident could be anemic and require changes in medication.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 01:55 PM, the ADON said she expected labs to be drawn as ordered.
The ADON said the DON and herself were responsible for ensuring the routine labs were placed in the
system. The DON said they do not print a lab requisition. The DON said the order was electronically sent to
the lab once transcribed. The ADON said lab orders received on the weekend or after hours, the nurse was
required to call her so she could therefore place the order in the lab system. The ADON said by not
obtaining the labs as ordered placed residents at risk for their health status to decline.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 2:29 PM, the DON said she expected labs to be obtained as ordered.
The DON said they do not have a lab monitoring system in place. The DON said it was her responsibility to
ensure the labs were being drawn and the orders were up to date. The DON said the ADON and herself
placed the lab orders in the system. The DON said the nurses do not have access to the lab system at this
time. The DON said after hours, or weekend lab orders were called to the ADON and she placed the orders
through her phone. The DON said the lab company obtained the labs according to what was ordered. The
DON said Resident #25 had a history of gastrointestinal bleed and anemia, failure to obtain his labs placed
him at risk for his hemoglobin (is the protein contained in red blood cells that is responsible for delivery of
oxygen to the tissues) and hematocrit (the percentage by volume of red cells in your blood) to drop and
staff to be unaware.
During an interview on 05/10/23 at 3:02 PM, the Administrator said she expected labs to be drawn as
