#35's bed position was nearest the window and there was a roommate occupying the other bed in the
room.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 11:33 AM, RN C stated she did not completely pull the curtain or close
the window blind prior to performing wound care for Resident #35. She stated blinds and curtains should
always be closed during personal care to provide privacy to the resident. RN C stated she just didn't see
that the blind was open and stated staff attempt to work in a timely manner when providing personal care to
Resident #35 because he gets agitated if we take too long. She stated she had been trained by nursing
administration to provide privacy during personal care. RN C stated a potential negative outcome for failure
to provide privacy during personal care would be that the resident's mental health could be negatively
affected, the resident could suffer shame or lose trust in staff.

During a wound care observation on 02/18/25 at 12:56 PM for Resident #41, RN C failed to fully pull the
privacy curtain and close the window blind before performing wound care to the resident's sacrum, which
placed the resident at risk of bodily exposure to the hallway and facility exterior. Resident #41's bed position
was nearest the window and there was a roommate occupying the other bed in the room.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 11:35 AM, RN C stated she did not completely pull the curtain or close
the window blind prior to performing wound care for Resident #41. She stated she should have closed the
curtain and window blind before she began wound care for Resident #41, but she was concentrating on the
steps of proper wound care and forgot. She stated she had been trained by nursing administration to
provide privacy during personal care. RN C stated a potential negative outcome for failure to provide
privacy during personal care would be that the resident's mental health could be negatively affected, the
resident could suffer shame or lose trust in staff.
During an interview on 02/25/25 at 11:38 AM with the ADM, she stated she was not aware that staff were
not providing privacy to residents during personal care. She stated the door, privacy curtain and window
blinds should be closed during personal care to provide as much privacy as possible to the resident. She
stated her expectation of staff was that they always provide privacy to residents during personal care by
following the facility policies for dignity and privacy and closing doors, curtains, and blinds. The ADM stated

soon as possible. She stated if verbal consent had been obtained, it would be documented in the resident's
EMR. The MDS Coordinator stated she expected all consents (written/verbal) should be obtained as soon
as the doctor order was given. She stated all the nurses who receive orders were responsible. She stated if
there were any missed medication consents, she did not have a reason it was not obtained.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 3:22 PM, the DON stated regarding medication consents, she was
familiar with the facility policy and the purpose of medication consents was to make sure that everyone
(resident and their family) was aware of the medication and that they were permitted to receive it. She said
the PNO of not obtaining medication consent was that staff could end up giving the resident a medication
that they do not want or may even receive medication to which they were allergic. The DON stated she was
unaware of any residents who did not have medication consent for psychotropic medications. She stated
the system to monitor medication consents was that the ADON or the MDS Coordinator will go through and
ensure everything is up to date for all residents. She stated she, as the DON, would follow up. She stated
she would also go through the resident medication consents when she is thinning their physical charts. She
stated that she had been trained that all psychotropic medications required a consent before administering
the medication. She stated she expected all appropriate medications to have the required consents. She
stated she did not have a reason for the missing medication consents. She stated the nurse present when
the medication is ordered was responsible for ensuring that the consents were obtained.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 3:55 PM, the ADM stated she was familiar with the facility's policy
regarding medication consents. She stated the purpose of medication consent was if staff were going to
administer psychotropic medications, they would have permission/consent from the resident and family. She
said the PNO of not obtaining medication consent before administration was the facility would be liable if
the resident could not make decisions. She stated it could be detrimental if the resident does not get the
correct medication. She stated she was unaware of any residents who did not have the appropriate
medication consent. She stated her system to monitor medication consent for psychotropic medications
was that she relied on the DON. She stated she had not had specific training on obtaining medication
consent because she is the administrator. She stated the nursing staff was responsible and did not have a
reason it was not done if it was not done. She stated that she expected all appropriate psychotropic
medications to have consents before administration.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 4:48 PM, the ADON stated she was familiar with the facility's policy on
medication consents for psychotropic medications. She stated the purpose of obtaining consent was to
ensure families and the residents knew what they were getting and the potential side effects. She stated the
PNO was something bad could happen to the resident, or they could have a decline in health. She stated
she was unaware of any residents not having medication consent until it was brought to her attention by the
investigator. She stated the system to monitor consent for psychotropic medications was the nurse that
receives the order would get the consent. She stated if the resident came into the facility with the
medication, the admission nurse would obtain the consent. She stated she had been trained to obtain
written consent before the administration of psychotropic medications. She stated she expected all
appropriate medications to have an appropriate consent if applicable. She stated the nurses were
responsible for getting consent and that she did not have a reason any resident consent was not obtained.

During an interview on [DATE] at 9:34 AM, LVN A stated regarding if a resident code (the resident was
experiencing a cardiac arrest, where their heart had stopped beating, requiring immediate life-saving
measures like CPR from a medical team) they would call for assistance from other staff. She stated that
they had not had anyone code in a while. She stated whether a resident wanted CPR or was a DNR status,
they, as the nurses, should know. She stated the first place that she would look was the computer. She
stated there was a list of residents who wished to receive CPR at the nurse's station, but it had been
moved. She stated Resident #27 was a full code and would require CPR.
Observed LVN A on [DATE] at 9:35 AM, looked in Resident #27 EMR and reported he was a resident listed
as full code status.
No observation of a list of residents who wished to be a DNR was observed at the nurses' station on
[DATE].
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:48 AM, RN B stated if someone coded, it is their duty to determine their
code status. She said there was a list of residents wishing to receive CPR at the nurses' station. She stated
that she had been a nurse at the facility since [DATE], and no one had coded. She said staff could find
residents' code status on the computer and the list at the nurses' station. She stated Resident #27's code
status was full, which meant they would perform CPR.
Observed RN B on [DATE] at 9:49 AM, look in Resident #27's EMR and report that his code status was full
code.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:56 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated if a resident codes, they will
immediately check to see their code status. She stated the first place would be the computer. She stated if
they did not have the information on the computer, she was unsure where the second place would be. She
said the PNO for the resident, if the correct code status were not administered, was they, as the staff, may
give the resident CPR, and this could make the family mad. She stated there could be many issues. She
stated they could bring the resident back, which may not be what they wanted. She stated it was a violation
of the resident's rights.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:27 AM, RN C stated if a resident coded, they immediately check to see
if they were full code (Required CPR). She stated they would check the computer first and then the grey
physical charts. She stated if those two do not coincide or the information was inconsistent, trying to find
the correct answer could delay treatment. She stated the staff would have to have the correct information to
start the correct code. She stated the PNO was the facility could receive a lawsuit. She stated the resident
and or the family would not be happy. She stated if it were her, she would not be happy if the incorrect
treatment was performed. She stated the computer was the first place to look, and the charge nurse was

desire of hers and her family. She said she had medical power of attorney, and it states no matter the
capacity of his mental status, she could make medical decisions for Resident #27. She stated Resident #27
thinks he can walk and cannot, and his mental status fluctuates.
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:22 PM, the DON stated she if a resident codes, and they have DNR
code status, she does not expect CPR to be administered. She stated if the resident is a full code, she
expected CPR to be administered. She stated the code status in the physical chart and the computer
(EMR). She stated that the charge nurse would typically go to the physical chart, but all information should
be consistent. Regarding DNR documentation, she was familiar with the facility policy. She stated not
having consistent information in the EMR, physical charts, and care plan could affect all involved. She said
the PNO of not having the correct code status was if it is not consistent or accurate, a resident could
receive the wrong treatment. She said she was unaware of any residents who did not have the correct code
status. She stated the system to monitor consistency in code status information was to check all residents'
information every quarter. She stated by doing this, they had not identified any inconsistencies. She stated
that she expected all information regarding code status to be consistent and accurate. She stated she did
not have a reason Resident #27 EMR reflected he was a full code, and the remainder of his information
reflected that he was a DNR. She said she was responsible for ensuring that this information was correct.
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:55 PM, the ADM stated if a resident codes, she expected her staff to
know the resident's code status. She stated each resident's code status was in the EMR. She stated after
the staff checks the EMR, they should be able to provide appropriate care. She stated the code status
should also be kept in the hard chart. She stated the information should be consistent and accurate. The
ADM stated she was familiar with the policy regarding DNR and the accuracy of information regarding code
status. She stated the PNO of if code status was inaccurate or inconsistent across platforms, the resident's
health and life could be affected. She stated the purpose of having consistent information across facility
platforms was that, potentially, the resident's wishes may not be met. She stated she was unaware of
residents whose code status was inconsistent across all facility platforms, such as the EMR, care plan, and
physical charts. She stated she had been trained that code status should be updated and accurate. She
stated the ADON was responsible for updating the resident's EMR and maintaining DNR accuracy.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:48 PM, the ADON stated that the nurse should get a crash cart if a
resident coded. She stated the nurse could look in the computer in the resident's EMR to determine their
code status. She stated that if there is an advance directive, the attached DNR should be there for staff
viewing. She stated she expected all code status information to be consistent across facility platforms, such
as the EMR, care plan, and physical chart. She stated the DON was responsible for ensuring that all
information across the facility platforms was consistent regarding resident code status. She stated she did
not have a reason the information was not consistent for Resident #27.

Definitions
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) – indicates that, in case of respiratory or cardiac failure, the resident,
legal guardian, health care proxy, or representative (sponsor) has directed that no
Residents Affected - Few
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other life-sustaining treatments or methods are to be
used.
Determining Existence of Advance Directive
If the Resident Has an Advance Directive
If the resident or the residents representative has executed one or more advance directive(s), or
executes one upon admission, copies of these documents are obtained and maintained in the same
section of the residents medical record and are readily retrievable by any facility staff.
The director of nursing services (DNS) or designee notifies the attending physician of advance directives
(or changes in advance directives) so that appropriate orders can be documented in the residents
medical record and plan of care.
The attending physician is not required to write orders for which he or she has an ethical or
conscientious objection.
The residents wishes are communicated to the residents direct care staff and physician by placing the
advance directive documents in a prominent, accessible location in the medical record and discussing the
residents wishes in care planning meetings.
The plan of care for each resident is consistent with his or her documented treatment preferences and/or
advance directive.
Facility staff are not required to provide care that conflicts with an advance directive.
If advance directive documents were developed in another state, the resident must have such
documents reviewed and revised (as necessary) by his/her legal counsel in this state before the facility
may honor such directives.

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 a comprehensive care plan for each
resident that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental,
and psychosocial needs, as well as describes the services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the
resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 6 of 14 residents (Resident
#10, #24, #27, #34, #36 and #39) reviewed for care plans in that:
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #10's care plan was revised, updated and individualized with
interventions and goals to address Resident #10's vison and communication.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #24's care plan was revised, updated and individualized with
interventions and goals to address Resident #24's vision and communication.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #27's care plan was revised, updated and individualized with
interventions and goals to address Resident #27's vision and urinary incontinence.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #34's care plan was revised, updated and individualized with
interventions and goals to address Resident #34's vision.
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #36's care plan was revised, updated and individualized with

During an interview on 02/20/25 at 9:08 AM, CNA K stated regarding Resident #39, they figured it out
regarding communicating with him. She stated when he gets mad because they do not understand him,
she returns and tries again later. She stated she knows to do this because of her certified nurse aide

plan policy regarding missing care plans. She stated that a care plan was when there was an identified
problem or things that the resident needed to work on. The MDS Coordinator stated there was a goal set
and then they (staff and resident) would see if the resident could meet the goal. She stated the PNO of the
care plan was not accurate or up to date because the resident could not get proper care. She stated the
PNO for a resident who required a vision care plan, and they did not have it, was that the resident could
lose their vision if they were not receiving the proper treatment. She stated the PNO for a resident who
required a urinary care plan and did not have it was that they could have issues with skin integrity. She
stated the PNO for a resident that required a communication care plan, and they did not have it, the
resident may be overlooked. Staff would not know to take their time and wait for the resident to
communicate if that was the case. She stated the resident's communication could get worse, and the
resident could become depressed. She stated the PNO for a resident that required a psychosocial
well-being care plan, and they did not have it, so there may not be adequate monitoring for the resident.
The MDS Coordinator stated she was unaware of any missing care plans. She stated that the system to
monitor care plans was she would put the assessment date on the calendar as the MDS Coordinator. She

plan. She stated the DON creates the CAAs, and she does not deal with section V (CAAs) of the MDS
assessment.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 3:22 PM, the DON stated she had been trained on the care plan policy.
She stated that the resident plan's purpose was to provide continuous care, so all staff knew what was
happening with the resident. She stated if there were any missing care plans, then the PNO, which is the
resident, may not get the care they need. She stated the care plan is created based on what was triggered
on the MDS assessment (section V). She stated the PNO for a resident who required a vision care plan,
and if they did not have it, it could impact their falls. She stated the PNO for a resident who required a
urinary care plan, and they did not have it, was that the resident could have skin breakdown. She stated the
PNO for a resident that required a communication care plan, and they did not have it, the resident will not
be able to be understood and may not understand who is speaking with them. She stated the PNO for a
resident that required a psychosocial well-being care plan, and they did not have it, the resident may feel
down and may not get out of their room, and it could lead to depression. She stated she was unaware of
any missing resident care plans. She stated her system to monitor care plans was that she sometimes
would combine triggered care areas to ensure that she had them all care planned. She stated she had
been trained on how to complete care plans. She stated that she expected all care plans to be updated and
accurate. She stated that as the DON, she was responsible for resident care plans. She stated she did not
have a reason for missing care plans as she believed all care plans had been created according to Section
V of the MDS assessment.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 3:55 PM, the ADM stated regarding the accuracy and creation of
resident care plans, she was familiar with the facility policy. She stated the resident care was to inform staff
about the resident care and family information. She said the PNO of not having accurate and triggered care
plans was the resident may not receive the care they should be receiving. She stated the PNO for a
resident who required a urinary care plan, and they did not have the staff would not know if the resident
was incontinent. She stated the PNO for a resident that required a communication care plan, and they did
not have it was the staff may not know if they had any assistive devices to help them communicate. She
stated the PNO for a resident who required a psychosocial well-being care plan and did not have it, the
staff may not know if there were any services the resident will need to attend or if there were medications
they were required to have. The staff may not know if the resident is acting out of character. She stated she
was unaware of any residents missing care plan. She stated the system to monitor resident care plans was
they were discussed in morning meetings and that it may be on the dashboard in the EMR (PCC). She
stated since she is not a nurse, she may not have access to this information. She stated she had not had
specific training on resident care plans but had always consulted with the DON. She stated she expected all
care plans to be updated and accurate. She stated the DON was responsible, and the only reason she
could think of why there were missing care plans was that they were transitioning from one EMR to another.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 4:48 PM, the ADON stated she was familiar with the facility policy
regarding resident care plans. She stated that the purpose of resident care plans was that they were
detailed plans of care. Ashe stated that the resident's care plan was

policy. She stated she was unsure of the purpose of having an RN every day for 8 consecutive hours. She
stated she was unsure what additional duties or assessments an RN can do vs what an LVN can do
outside of pronouncing death. She stated she was unaware of multiple days that were uncovered. She
stated she was aware of just one day. She stated she had a volunteer, but the volunteer called in. She
stated as a result of the call in, she did not think she made any additional effort to cover the shift. She said
they needed to call the agency nurses if they could not find RN coverage. She stated this had been
mentioned before but when the volunteer did not come in, she did not think of calling agency. She stated it
is typically unsuccessful when they attempt to get an RN at the last minute. She stated the system she
used to monitor RN coverage was that every other weekend was always covered, and she typically had no
issues covering the alternate weekend. She stated if it is not covered then they attempt to find coverage.
She stated she had been trained that the facility had to have RN coverage 7 days a week for 8 consecutive
hours. She stated she expected the facility to have RN coverage 7 days a week for 8 consecutive hours.
She sated she was responsible for making the schedule. She stated she did not have a reason the four
days did not have RN coverage for 8 consecutive hours.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services
(including procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all
drugs and biologicals) to meet the needs of each resident on 1 of 1 medication cart (cart for hall 100)
reviewed for pharmaceutical services.
The facility failed to ensure the medication cart for hall 100 did not contain expired medication.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving prescribed medications as ordered and receiving
medications that are less effective or have altered composition.
The findings included:
An observation 02/19/25 at 9:11 AM of the medication cart for hall 100 with RN B revealed a bottle of
expired over-the-counter medication. The medication was labeled: Acetaminophen 500
mg/Diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg and had an expiration date of 11/2024. RN B confirmed that the date of
the medication was past the manufacturer's expiration date.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 9:20 AM, RN B stated there should not be expired medication on the
medication cart. She stated she did not know why the medication cart contained expired medication. She
stated it was the responsibility of the nursing staff to check the cart for expired medications. RN B stated
she had only been employed by the facility for a couple of months and was not sure how often the carts
were audited by nursing administration for proper medication storage. RN B stated a potential negative
outcome for expired medication on the cart would be that a resident could have an adverse reaction or may
not receive the therapeutic effect of the ordered medication.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 10:05 AM the DON stated she was not aware that the medication cart
contained expired medication. She stated it was the responsibility of the nursing staff on duty to assure
expired medications were removed from the medication cart. The DON stated staff were trained and carts
were monitored through periodic cart audits conducted by the pharmacy consultant and nursing
administration. She stated her expectation of staff was to monitor carts and assure expired medications
were removed from the medication cart
for destruction. The DON stated a potential negative outcome for expired medication on the cart was that
medications may lose potency and the resident would not get the full effect of the medication.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 10:51 AM the ADM stated she was not aware that there was an expired
medication on the medication cart. She stated nursing staff and nursing administration were responsible to
assure expired medications were removed from the cart. She stated her expectation of staff was to monitor
expiration dates of medications and to follow policy at all times. The ADM stated a potential negative
outcome of expired medication on the cart was that a resident's health could be negatively affected if an
expired medication were administered.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all drugs and biologicals
were stored properly for 1 of 1 medication carts (medication cart for Hall 100), reviewed for medication
storage.
The medication cart assigned to Hall 100 contained loose pills.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving prescribed medications as ordered, receiving
medications that are less effective or have altered composition, and drug diversions.
The findings included:
On 2/19/25 at 9:11 AM an observation of the medication cart for Hall 100 was conducted with RN B. Two
loose pills were found in the drawer of the medication cart. RN B placed the pills in a dispensing cup and
the ADON identified the medications as Furosemide 40 mg (1 tablet) and Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg (1
tablet). RN B destroyed the loose pills by placing them in the sharps container on the medication cart.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 9:20 AM, RN B stated there should not be loose pills on the medication
cart. She stated she was not sure why the medication cart contained loose pills. She stated it was her
responsibility to check the cart for proper medication storage each time when reporting for duty. RN B
stated she received training on proper medication storage through her nursing education. She stated she
had only been employed by the facility for a couple of months and was not aware of how often training on
proper medication storage was provided by the facility. RN B stated she was trained by nursing
administration to assure medication blister packs were kept in hard plastic sleeves in the drawers of the cart
to reduce the risk of loose medications. RN B stated a potential negative outcome of loose medications on
the cart would be that a resident may miss a scheduled dose of medication.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 10:05 AM the DON stated she was not aware that there were loose pills
on the medication cart. She stated it was the responsibility of the nurse on duty as well as nursing
administration to assure medications were stored properly on the medication cart. The DON stated staff
were trained and carts were monitored through periodic cart audits conducted by the pharmacy consultant
and nursing administration. She stated her expectation of staff was to keep medications secured by
monitoring carts and assuring pill packs were in protective plastic covers to prevent medications from falling
out of blister packs. The DON stated a potential negative outcome for loose pills on the cart was that
medications may lose potency and the resident would not get the full effect of the medication.
During an interview on 02/20/25 at 10:51 AM the ADM stated she was not aware that there were loose pills
on the medication cart. She stated the nurse on duty and nursing administration were responsible to assure
medications were stored properly on the cart. She stated her expectation of staff for proper storage of
medications was to follow policy at all times. The ADM stated a potential negative outcome for failure to
properly store medications was that medications could be more easily accessed, placing the facility at risk
of drug diversions and residents could receive the wrong medications.

following proper hand hygiene and EBP protocol. She stated it was the responsibility of nursing
administration to assure staff were properly trained on hand hygiene and EBP. The ADM stated her
expectation of staff was to always follow protocol for hand hygiene and EBP by sanitizing hands and
wearing proper EBP when necessary. The ADM stated a potential negative outcome for failure to observe
proper hand hygiene and EBP protocol would be that residents and employees were at higher risk of
infection.
