or potential for actual harm
Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable,
and homelike environment in one (right side) of two shower rooms on Hall 400.
Residents Affected - Few
-The facility failed to clean the shower room on the right side of Hall 400 that was observed with soiled
towels, gloves, empty containers of personal care items, hair on the floor, and the floor had brown and black
stain marks.
This failure placed residents at risk for receiving showers in an unclean and uncomfortable environment.
Findings included:
Observation on 01/24/25 at 10:38AM of the shower room on the right side of Hall of 400 with CNA S. The
shower room had large, soiled towels on the floor, wood shelving, and shower bed. Further observation was
made of used empty containers of personal care items (shower gel, etc.) sitting on wood shelving. CNA S
immediately started placing the soiled towels inside of a plastic bag. CNA S proceeded throwing used
resident care supplies inside of plastic bag and picking gloves up off the floor. Further observation was
made of the shower room floor being dirty with brown and black stains on the floor. There was debris on the
floor behind the wood shelving. Further observation was made of a ball of white hair on the floor.
Interview on 01/24/25 at 10:40AM with CNA S said the floors were dirty and she did not know when the last
time the shower room floors had been cleaned. CNA S said when the CNAs finish providing a shower to a
resident, the CNA was not to leave anything behind such as towels or resident personal care items due to
germs and infection control. CNA S said it was the resident's home and that it was important to keep the
shower room clean and tidy. CNA S said the nursing staff and housekeeping were responsible in making
sure that the shower rooms were being cleaned for resident use. CNA S said when the shower room
needed to be clean the staff would write in the communication book at the nurse desk. When CNA S went
to find the shower book at the nurse station, she could not locate the book. CNA S proceeded to say the
way they communicate with housekeeping was in the computer but did not show the surveyor where in the
computer the staff was communicating with housekeeping regarding cleaning the showers.
Interview on 01/24/25 at 10:40AM with Housekeeper T after observing the shower room on the right side of
Hall 400 said the shower room floor was dirty and needed to be . Housekeeper T said she did not work at
the facility on 01/23/25. Housekeeper T said she was working Hall 400 and was responsible for cleaning the
resident rooms and keeping the shower room clean. Housekeeper T said she worked

Residents Affected - Few
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to maintain medical records on each resident that are
accurately documented for 1 of 5 (Resident #50) residents reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to have accurate Physician Orders for Resident #50 when anticoagulant medication
monitoring was ordered without an order for an anticoagulant.
This deficiency could put residents at risk of improper medication administration and inaccurate
documentation and tracking of residents' condition and treatment.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #50's face sheet last captured 1/24/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old female
originally admitted on [DATE] and last re-admitted on [DATE]. Her medical diagnoses included muscle
wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle mass and function), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (a lung
condition characterized by lung damage such as inflammation and restricted airflow), Dementia (loss of
cognitive function such as memory and thinking which affects daily life), Hypertension (high blood
pressure), Chronic Pain Syndrome, Polyosteoarthritis (inflammation that affects five or more joints), and
cognitive communication deficit.
Record review of Resident #50's Quarterly MDS (a resident assessment) dated 10/18/2024 revealed
Resident #50 was able to make herself understood by others some of the time and had the ability to
understand others some of the time. Her BIMS score (an assessment to test cognitive function and
memory) was a 03 out of 15, indicating severe cognitive dysfunction. Resident #50 was fully dependent on
others for toileting, showering, and footwear and required partial to moderate assistance with eating, upper
body dressing, oral hygiene and personal hygiene.
Record review of Resident #50's care plan last revised 01/14/2025, revealed Resident #50 had
hypertension r/t lifestyle choices with a start date of 04/10/2023, with interventions including educating the
resident/family/caregiver about the importance of maintaining a normal weight for height, the value of
regular exercise, limiting salt intake, give anti-hypertensive [sic] medications as ordered, and
monitor/document/report PRN any s/sx of malignant hypertension, headache, lethargy, nausea and
vomiting and difficulty breathing. Resident #50 also had a problem with skin integrity with a start date of
1/23/2025 related to her rash on the chest resulting to severe itching, scratching and interventions including
administering medications as ordered to address medical diagnosis and conditions and cream twice a day
for her rash.
Record review of Resident #50's Physician Orders revealed the following:
-Start date: 08/10/2024
Anticoagulant medication - monitor for discolored urine, N&V (nausea and vomiting), bruising, sudden

This order was active.
-Start date 1/24/2025 Hypertension medication - Aspirin EC (enteric-coated, meaning the tablet had a
protective coat that allows the medication to be released in the intestines rather than the stomach) 325 MG
(Aspirin) Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day related to Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
Further review revealed Resident #50 had no active orders for anticoagulant medication.
Record review of Resident #50's January 2025 [DATE] revealed Resident #50 had received anticoagulant
medication monitoring every twelve hours for aspirin 325 (mg) with a start date of 08/10/2024 and a
discontinued date of 01/23/2025. Resident #50 also received anticoagulant medication monitoring every
twelve hours for aspirin 81 (mg) with a start date of 01/23/2025.
Interview with the DON on 1/24/2025 at 2:47pm, she said that Resident #50 was ordered aspirin for her
cardiovascular issues, from what Resident #50's physician told her. The DON said at 325 mg the aspirin
can be used as an anticoagulant, but that for Resident #50 the medication acts more like an antiplatelet
medication. She said she would update and clarify the aspirin's purpose for Resident #50. A later interview
on 1/24/2025 at 4:10pm, the DON said that Resident #50 had some reddish areas on her skin that were
being monitored, so she kept in the order to monitor for the rash, not the anticoagulant. Resident #50 had
bruising and the DON had called her physician to cancel the aspirin but the physician told her that Resident
#50 needed it for her heart condition.
Interview with the MDS Nurse on 1/24/2025 at 4:19pm, she said that she did not work with Resident #50.
The MDS Nurse said when a resident admits to the facility, she looks at their clinicals and determines their
medical diagnoses. The MDS Nurse said that medications and the treatment plan should match with
diagnoses.
Interview with NP A on 1/24/2025 at 5:14pm, she returned a call and said she was no longer associated
with Resident #50 and the physician's group associated with the facility and declined to answer more
questions.
Record review of the facility's Medication Administration policy implemented on 10/24/2022 read in part,
Medications are administered by licensed nurses, or other staff legally authorized to do so in this state, as
ordered by the physician and in accordance with professional standards of practice . 20. Correct any
discrepancies and report to nurse manager.
