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.

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.

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.

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].

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.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few vomiting), bruising, sudden changes in mental status, nose bleeds every 12 hours for ASA (Aspirin) 81. 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.

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.

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.
