Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to consult with the resident's physician of a
significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status (that is, a deterioration in
health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications); a need
to alter treatment significantly (that is, a need to discontinue an existing form of treatment due to adverse
consequences, or to commence a new form of treatment) for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed
for resident rights.
The facility failed to notify the MD when Resident #1, who was a diabetic resident, had an elevated and
abnormal lab with a blood glucose of 334 on 09/17/24, followed by a deterioration through 10/06/24 of his
willingness to eat. Resident #1 had a change in condition which included him becoming unresponsive on
10/06/24. Resident #1 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] and was found to have a blood glucose reading of
1,139 (Normal glucose range for a person with diabetes who has well-controlled levels is 72-99 while
fasting and up to 140 about 2 hours after eating) and an Hemoglobin A1C (three month average of blood
sugar) of 13 (normal range is below 5.7).
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 10/23/24 at 4:42 PM. The IJ template was provided
to the facility's Administrator on 10/23/24 at 4:50 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
10/25/24, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of no actual harm with potential for
more than minimal harm and at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the
effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving timely medical intervention as needed and
ordered by the physician, of not having their health condition monitored timely for changes in condition,
which could result in a delay in medical intervention and decline in health or possible worsening of
symptoms, including death.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 10/23/24 reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses that included Type 2 Diabetes, Hemiplegia and
Hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body), Aphasia (a communication disorder that impairs a
person's ability to process language), Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (a
chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe fatigue and joint pain), Hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat
in the blood), Vascular Dementia (a type of dementia caused by brain damage due to impaired blood flow),
Epilepsy (seizure disorder), COPD (persistent respiratory symptoms like breathlessness and cough),
Functional Quadriplegia (complete immobility due to move )Atherosclerotic

Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected minimal difficulty with
hearing, unclear speech, sometimes understood and usually understood others, and no vision issues.
Resident #1 was assessed as having a BIMS score of 15. He had no mood issues, no behaviors,
psychosis, rejection of care or wandering. Resident #1 had range of motion impairment in both sides of his
upper and lower extremities. Resident #1 used a wheelchair for mobility and was dependent on staff for all
ADLs to include dressing, hygiene, transfers, eating and basic mobility. Resident #1 was always incontinent
of bowel and bladder, he had a gastrostomy tube (a surgically placed device that provides direct access to
the stomach for supplemental feeding, hydration or medication). Resident #1's assessment reflected he
was not prescribed any insulin during the assessment period.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of an updated BIMS form in Resident #1's clinical chart completed on 10/21/24 by the SLP
completed he Speech therapy assessment reflected a BIMS score of 00, which indicted severe cognitive
impairment.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan initiated 01/11/22 and last revised on 10/07/24 reflected,

02/11/2022), Notify MD at once if s/s occur (Date Initiated: 02/11/2022).
Record review of Resident #1's physician orders for the past 12 months (10/01/2023 through 10/23/2024)
reflected no orders for insulin, oral diabetic medication, blood glucose monitoring or routine A1C labs.
Resident #1 did not have a physician's order to check his blood glucose routinely or PRN. (Note:
Hypoglycemia occurs when the glucose levels in the blood are elevated, typically above 180 to 200 mg. If
not managed, it can lead to severe complications such as nerve damage, kidney failure, and cardiovascular
diseases).
Review of Resident #1's clinical chart to include previous hospital documentation, revealed that part of his
pertinent medical history occurred when he went to the hospital on [DATE] when he experienced a change
of condition at the facility. At that time, he was not a known diabetic and it was not a diagnosis listed in his
clinical chart at the facility nor at the hospital. At the hospital, he was UA positive for high white blood cell
count and a rare bacteria (name not listed in hospital documentation), his A1C was 7.9 and his blood
glucose was 611 and he was septic due to likely severe dehydration. Resident #1 was stabilized and
discharged back to the facility with new orders for insulin to be administered and a diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus.
Record review of nurse practitioner encounter progress note dated 10/26/22 by a previous extender for MD
G reflected she reviewed Resident #1's past medical history, which she documented had not been done
since 02/05/22. The DNP reviewed Resident #1's previous stay at the hospital on [DATE]. The DNP stated
that Resident #1 had been admitted to the ER due to weakness, cough, SOB, low sats and hypotension.
The DNP noted Resident #1 was started on sepsis protocol at the hospital and antibiotics and was
admitted to ICU. His labs showed a glucose of 611 and he was admitted with severe dehydration, sepsis,
hyperglycemia, AKI, hypotension and metabolic acidosis. The DNP documented that on

08/10/22, the facility staff asked if the insulin Lantus could be discontinued. DNP stated, Pt seen in dining
hall, doing well, no complaints. BS trends reviewed, BS well controlled with some BS on low side. Lantus
d/c'ed. There was no documentation to reflect if Resident #1 would continue to receive routine or periodic
blood glucose monitoring at the facility to monitor his diabetes.
Record review of Resident #1's e-chart under the vitals sections reflected the following blood glucose
readings were last ones recorded and taken by the facility and were over a year old: (10/05/2023)-BS 142,
(09/07/2022 two years earlier)-BS 100. Prior to that, Resident #1's blood glucose was being taken three to
four times a day by the nurses since his discharge from a ER hospital stay on 01/09/22 when he was
re-admitted to the facility and he was receiving a diabetic-formulated enteral feed as a supplement through
his g-tube daily. Blood glucose readings during that time vacillated from 74 at the lowest to 295 at the
highest, all while he was being administered insulin on a routine basis to control his hyperglycemia. There
was no evidence that the blood glucose checks were discontinued by the MD in 2022 and 2023.
Record review of Resident #1's completed metabolic panel lab completed on 09/17/24 reflected a high
glucose level of 334 [reference range is 65-110).
Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes after the abnormal lab value for his blood glucose
on 09/17/24 reflected there was no documentation that the MD or NP was notified of Resident #1's elevated
blood glucose or that his blood glucose was checked by the charge nurses after that.
Record review of progress notes after the elevated blood glucose level on 09/17/24, reflected Resident #1
was not eating and the speech therapist was notified and his diet was changed to finger foods. Resident #1
continued to not eat and sustained a fall after losing his balance. On 10/06/24, he was noted in a nursing
progress note to be throwing up and hiccupping continuously. At that time, his vitals were taken and were:
Blood pressure 122/64, Pulse 99, Respirations 20, Temperature 97.8, Oxygen saturation at 97. On
10/06/24, Resident #1 was not able to eat breakfast and refused when the staff attempted to feed him. His
attending physician [MD G] was notified and gave a new order to start IV Nacl0.9 % @ 100 ml/hr. x 2 liters,
CBC, CMP and UA Stat. The progress note reflected, In a little moment before IV inserted, resident
observed lethargic, more confused, B/S was reading HI on the machine, then started having SOB, [MD G]
called again and recommended resident to be send out to ER [written by RN A].
Record review of Resident #1's hospital documentation reflected he was admitted to the ER on [DATE] at
2:18 PM. In the critical care unit, he was diagnosed with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) and severe sepsis.
Resident #1's blood glucose was 1139 and his A1C was 13. Hospital documentation by the physician
reflected a concern that Resident #1 was diabetic and his decline was, Likely triggered by infection, ?
Compliance, not clear that SNF was giving insulin- Fluid resuscitation with 2100 L NS bolus EMS and ED.
Resident #1 received hourly finger sticks initially upon admission to the hospital and was placed on an NPO
diet until the DKA resolved. Resident #1 was started on Lantus. Resident #1 met the Sepsis criteria and
was administered antibiotics which included Rocephin by EMS and Zosyn and Vancomycin in ED. Resident
#1 was also diagnosed with an AKI (acute kidney injury) which was noted to likely be secondary to severe
dehydration. The ICU physician documented that all interventions provided by the hospital were necessary
to prevent further life-threatening deterioration and/or death from conditions listed in the assessment and
plan. Resident #1 remained in ICU for four days. On 10/10/24, Resident #1 was seen in the hospital by the
Nephrologist who documented Resident #1 had Hyperkalemia, Likely secondary to uncontrolled blood
sugars and potassium shifts. Resident #1 was discharged from the hospital back to the facility on [DATE]
with orders for insulin glargine-Lantus 100

An interview with the Administrator and DON on 10/23/24 at 9:40 AM, revealed Resident #1 was sent to the
hospital because he was unresponsive, sweating and had vomited. When he arrived at the ER, the hospital
found him to have a high blood sugar and urine concentration. The family told the Administrator and DON
Resident #1's blood glucose was over 1,000 and he was dehydrated. The DON stated Resident #1 had a
peg-tube that was used for flushing and for administering his Keppra medication since he did not like the
taste of it. The DON stated his peg-tube was flushed four times a day to make sure he was well-hydrated.
The DON stated Resident #1 was also on two cans of Glucerna a day and he ate three meals a day with no
restrictions and could drink by mouth. The DON stated she started employment at the facility in April 2024
and found that one of the previous DONs discontinued Resident #1's Lantus and insulin because his blood
sugars were in the 80s and 90s. Since then, the DON stated the facility was doing a CBC, CMP and A1C
every six months for Resident #1 and the values were normal. She stated the facility checked labs for
Resident #1 in September 2024 and his sugar was a little high, but that was drawn right after his meal.
Doctor said all previous readings were good, the doctor did not give new orders. After that he was well. The
DON stated on weekend after that, Resident #1 was a little tired on a Friday night and by that next Sunday
the nurse reported he looked very lethargic, So we sent him out. At the hospital, the DON stated his blood
sugar was high but nothing had triggered the facility to place him back on insulin prior to that. She stated
Resident #1's family was upset that the facility was not checking and monitoring Resident #1's blood sugar.
The DON stated she explained to the family that Resident #1's diabetes was diet controlled and he was not
showing signs or symptoms of hyperglycemia and was coming to the dining room every day and eating
everything. She said Resident #1's weight was stable plus the nurses were flushing his peg tube four times
a day. After the hospitalization, the Administrator and DON stated they had a care plan meeting with
Resident #1's RP and the doctor covering for Resident #1's primary attending physician [Phy B] for about
two hours. The meeting concerned whether or not the RP wanted to re-admit Resident #1 back to the
facility's care. The DON stated there was an NP or PA at the hospital who had told Resident #1's RP that he
should have not been in the condition he was in, although he had been here without many real issues for
the past two years. The Administrator state that he explained to the RP about labs and how doctors
prescribed medications to residents based on those lab values. The Administrator stated, I think she was off
guard that he wasn't taking insulin. He stated at a second meeting, the Ombudsman was present and told
the facility they needed to look at how frequently CNAs correctly observed and documented his meal intake
because she felt it was not accurate. The DON stated a week before Resident #1 was sent to the ER, they
started noticing he was being picky and they changed his diet to finger foods and he was doing okay with it.
The Administrator stated Resident #1 was in the ICU for a while, But our system worked; we identified, sent
him out and they saved his life. Since his discharge from the hospital back to the facility, the DON stated
Resident #1 now had a continuous order for g-tube feedings during the night, 150 cc of water flushes every
four hours, blood glucose checks three times daily and an order for Lantus sliding scale plus Lantus 20
units every morning. The DON stated that Resident #1 was not interviewable and only responded in the
affirmative or negative, but not much.
A follow up interview with the DON on 10/23/24 at 12:38 PM, revealed she checked Resident #1's clinical
records and discontinued orders to see when Resident #1 took his last dose of insulin at the facility. She
stated the last time she saw that he got insulin was the month of February 2022 and blood sugar checks
were stopped at some point in 2022 but she did not know why. The DON stated there

were no routine blood sugar checks for Resident #1 at the facility since then but his CBC, CMP and A1C
were routinely checked. The DON stated an A1C labs gave a three month look back at a resident's average
blood glucose and the last one completed was in February 2024. The DON stated, We are a little late on
getting the most recent one done. There is no time-frame but is the labs are in good range or a little high,
they do them every six months. More than 10 (value) for an A1C and it is critical then we do the A1C every
three months. She stated Resident #1 would have been due for an A1C in August 2024. She said a BMP
was done in September 2024 which showed Resident #1 had a blood glucose reading of 334 but it was
right after breakfast so PHY B told the DON to look at the time of the blood drawn and did not want another
one drawn. The DON stated that diabetic residents should have an A1C lab completed every six months
and that is was not a policy, it was standard practice. She stated she had not read the facility's policy on
Diabetic Management since she started employment as the DON. In hindsight, the DON stated, If it were
me, I would have questioned the blood sugar of over 300 and maybe rechecked it if I were the doctor, but
he said it was due to the resident eating breakfast. The DON could not say if anyone at the facility had
re-checked Resident #1's blood sugar once the abnormal lab came back.
An interview with PHY B on 10/23/24 at 1:33 PM, revealed the last time he saw Resident #1 was when he
came back from the hospital in October 2024. PHY B stated, I don't recall seeing him in 2024. Usually we
see the long term once a year and a NP who sees him once a month, I may not have seen him this year at
all. With abnormal labs, PHY B stated sometimes the facility would text him right away, routine labs were
supposed to be faxed to his office number and put in PCC and he could review the lab for the skilled
residents when he came to the facility twice a week. For long-term residents, like Resident #1, the NP
mostly ordered labs and were supposed to review then and if there was any action needing to be taken,
they will. He stated Resident #1 was long-term, so NP C would have been the one notified of his abnormal
lab, not him. Phy B stated he was not notified about Resident #1's abnormal blood sugar of 334 on
09/17/24 until after the resident had a change of condition and was sent out to the hospital and the RP
voiced concerns about Resident #1's care. Phy B stated for diabetic residents, if they were not prescribed
insulin, then the recommendation was for them to have a A1C every six months, even if they were stable
with their routine blood sugar checks. He stated that monitoring guideline was from the geriatric college of
medicine and the blood glucose values for residents in a long-term care facility were done twice a year. Phy
B stated he had gone back and reviewed Resident #1's chart after his ER visit and saw that he was on
insulin in 2022 and at that time his sugars were running normal but it appeared that someone at that time
decided to discontinue his insulin. Phy B stated that was not unusual because, We all know in diabetic
patients they have a honeymoon period where their blood sugars are okay and we continue to monitor and
take them off treatment because we don't want low blood sugars in nursing home patients because a lot of
them can't communicate and tell us symptoms like [Resident #1]. Phy B stated once a resident's blood
sugar went low and they are in a hypoglycemic state, it could be detrimental for their health, That is why we
let their blood sugars run a little higher, even if the A1C is a little higher. So I think it wasn't unusual to do
that and two years he did not have any problems. Phy B speculated that he felt Resident #1 had an
infection which he felt was a common reason of putting a person into DKA-diabetic ketoacidosis, and
Resident #1 also had a wound at the hospital which could have contributed to it as well. Phy B then stated,
The only thing I identified to be honest with you, could still be the same outcome on our end, I am the first
one to take blame, there wasn't oversight on our part that the A1C was not done in 6 months, it had last
been done in February and it should have been done in August so we take blame for that. I told the [RP]
that as well because it happened on my

watch and I was supposed to oversee his care. It is a problem and I have asked the DON to implement a
protocol for A1C every six months. So now, since this happened, we have asked the facility on their end to
put an automatic protocol where they do them every six months- hemoglobin A1C. Phy B said the only thing
he saw missing in Resident #1's care was that the A1C was not completed. He said that going in DKA was
possible even in a fully controlled diabetic resident in a few days to a few hours, however, it was an
unfortunate thing that happened and he took full responsibility for the lab not being done, it was a mistake
and the facility was rectifying the problem. Phy B said that it would be hard to say if he would have acted on
Resident #1's blood glucose level being over 300, he would have told the facility to check it a few more
times to make sure it was not trending up. If he was trending up, then he would no longer be in the
honeymoon period with his diabetes and they would need to start treating him for it. Phy B said all labs
were supposed to be reviewed by himself or the NP C and for Resident #1, NP C should have reviewed
them at that time. Additionally, the change of status should have been reported to him or the NP C because
that was important information. If the facility did not notify him, then there is no way for him to know if the
resident was having a change in condition.
An interview with ADON E on 10/23/24 at 2:06 PM, revealed nothing dramatic had occurred with Resident
#1 prior to him being sent to the hospital. ADON E stated Resident #1 was not on insulin and his A1C lab
should be done every six months if there was no order for it. If there was a change in condition, then the
facility needed to notify the doctor and get an order immediately and monitor to see if more frequent labs
needed to be done. ADON E stated Resident #1's elevated CMP lab on 09/16/24 may have been higher
than expected depending on if the lab tech was able ot get a fasting lab or if it was glucose random. She
stated with an abnormal glucose reading over 300, the NP or MD was present in the facility each week so
the charge nurse should have relayed the abnormal lab value to them and they could have given an order.
The nurse then would need to document what the plan was, that there was an abnormal lab, even if no new
orders. ADON E stated the reason to notify the doctor was to see if the resident needed insulin or oral
medication for hyperglycemia. ADON E stated when a resident's lab was abnormal for high blood glucose,
she would expect the charge nurse to assess the resident to see if they were eating or drinking well and
doing their regular activities and also alert the doctor and communicate to them the results. If the resident
was sweating, lethargic, then the nurse should know there was something going on and needed to check
the resident's vitals and maybe their blood sugar. She stated, Maybe they didn't check his glucose because
he had been stable. ADON E stated a resident with hypoglycemia would present with lethargy, sweating
and confused. She said Resident #2 was not showing any of those signs when she rounded during the
mornings and no one had reported anything to her.
An interview with NP C on 10/23/24 at 2:25 PM, revealed she was made aware of Resident #1's change in
condition when he came back from the hospital and the facility had informed her that there were going to be
new protocols that would be implemented. NP C stated the issues had to do with some lack of oversight on
the facility and on her/Phy B's end like Resident #1 could have had an A1C a little sooner. NP C stated she
saw Resident #1 occasionally and he did not seem off to her and she had not heard from the facility that he
was declining. NP C stated, In the future, we need to have a protocol in place for diabetics. I don't believe I
was made aware of his high blood sugar, that would have prompted me for further testing . I would have
done accuchecks, A1C and a repeat BMP. NP C stated Resident #1 had not been administered insulin even
though he was diabetic because he was previously diet-managed, so he was being monitored through
routine A1Cs. NP C stated, We are fixing that, there should have been a routine order. NP C stated the
failure was the breakdown in communication and an oversight on their part. She said if she had heard

was not drinking or eating, she would also check for UTI, That is my standard .this one was very
unfortunate for [Resident #1], it's not okay and I hope some of those measures we are taking moving
forward help.
An observation and attempted interview of Resident #1 on 10/24/24 at 9:45 AM revealed he was lying in
bed, the fingers on his left hand were contracted, his right leg was contracted and he was not able to
articulate words verbally nor was his communication device charged and functional. There was a strong
smell of feces coming from him. At the time of the observation, Resident #1 could not answer questions
related to his diabetic care and change of condition that sent him to the hospital. He tugged on his bed
sheet and motioned to some dark brown spots on it. When asked if he made a bowel movement and
needed to be changed he nodded his head yes. After that, Resident #1 did not respond to any more
questions.
An interview with the DOR on 10/24/24 at 12:29 PM revealed Resident #1 had expressive aphasia and
could only speak a few words. The DOR did not specify a specific time/date, but stated before Resident #1
was sent to the hospital, the staff had come to her within a week or so prior saying that he was not wanting
to eat, he complained about the food and he was sending it back to the kitchen. The DOR stated, So we
adjusted for finger foods for better compliance. The DOR said Resident #1 came back from the hospital in
October 2024 and was picked up for speech services.
Record review of a Dietary Note dated 09/24/24 reflected, Resident was observed in the dining room during
lunch time that he was not properly eating regular texture, after speaking to the resident and ST he agreed
to change him to finger foods.
An interview with LVN D on 10/25/24 at 12:43 PM revealed she worked with Resident #1 two days before
he was sent to the hospital and to her, he did not seem different and had gone to the dining room to eat,
picked at his lunch, but that was not unusual. She said she gave him supplement shakes and often had a
hard time to get him to drink water. LVN D stated she knew She stated typically when a lab came back
abnormal or critical, the nurse receiving the lab results was supposed to document it in a nursing note and
put it in the 24-hour communication log. Then the nurse was supposed to report the results to the NP or MD
and they were supposed to provide interventions or a new plan to start that resident on insulin. LVN D
stated she did not know why Resident #1 was not prescribed insulin anymore. She said he had not been on
insulin since she came back to work for the facility in December 2023 and she said maybe the facility
thought it was controlled. With diabetics, LVN D said of they were not on insulin and not on weekly checks
to make sure their blood sugars are stable, then they were supposed to get A1C every six months. She
stated the MD was supposed to write that routine order into the online e-chart system and then it would
generate on the MAR each time it was due. LVN D stated again she did not see much of a change in
Resident #1 but could see how he became dehydrated since because it was hard for them to get him to
drink water, but his blood sugars going up, I was not expecting that.
An interview with CNA F on 10/25/24 at 1:35 PM, revealed she was Resident #1's CNA on the morning
shifts and was present at the facility when he was sent out to the hospital. CNA F stated that whole week
Resident #1 had not been feeling good, he was not eating. She took care of him every day and said he did
not communicate, he did not eat, he did not want to drink water. On Saturday 10/05/24, he was still not
feeling well, not eating, just lying in bed and was restless. CNA F told the charge nurse (RN A) and she
looked at him but that was when CNA F was leaving for the end of her shift. CNA F stated she thought the
facility would send him out to the hospital. But when she came in the next morning, Sunday 10/06/24, she
went to the nurses' station and asked the overnight nurse how Resident

#1 was doing because CNA F assumed he had been sent out the day prior based on his deteriorating
condition. The overnight nurse said he was fine. So CNA F walked to Resident #1's room and the roommate
at that time told her that Resident #1 had been making barking sounds all night long. When CNA F saw
Resident #1, he was making squeaking sounds, which was unusual. He was sweating and throwing the
blankets off of him. She said he was usually cold natured, so that was different for him as well. She said
Resident #1 could not keep his eyes open when she tried to rouse him and talk to him. She was trying to
ask him basic questions but he was not responding and was making a hiccupping sound. CNA F said the
roommate told her no one came to check on Resident #1 throughout the night prior. CNA F then went to the
overnight nurse again and told her that Resident #1 did not look right. The overnight nurse went to check on
him along with another weekend nurse on the hall (name unknown). They checked Resident #1's oxygen
saturation levels which were at 78. He was given oxygen and the nurses re-checked his O2 and it was still
down at 78. It eventually started to come back up but he was still making the strange noise and then started
throwing up watery yellowish bile, Like someone who had not eaten for a long time. CNA F said the
morning nurse, RN A (same nurse as day before) came onto the floor and checked on him. CNA F said she
told RN A the way Resident #1 was looking, he needed to be sent out. RN A then told CNA F she was
going to send him out and contacted the DON and said Resident #1 was not looking good. The DON then
told RN A, per CNA F, no, do not send him out because the facility's census was low, so RN A did not send
him out to the hospital. Instead, CNA F said RN A said she would get an order for an IV and she did, but
she did not know how to insert the line. CNA F said she was present and RN A did not even attempt to
insert the IV. She told CNA F that she did not know how to do it, which part of the arm to access and that
she could not find a vein. CNA F stated, I am asking her you are not going to send him out? And she says I
need to try the IV with water, then that was when she said she didn't know how. So then, she didn't do
anything. CNA F stated RN A tried to check his blood sugar, then told CNA F that Resident #1 might not
even be a diabetic. She stated she was present when RN A and another nurse were in the room trying to
get a blood sugar reading when the other nurse asked RN A if Resident #1 was a diabetic and RN A
responded no. CNA F stated she never heard them say a blood sugar out loud, so she did not think they
were able to get one. CNA F then stated later on, It was so frustrating because he was weak and now it's
noon and he can't hold up his arms or legs. Around noon, CNA F said she was shaking Resident #1, his
eyes would not open and he was breathing fast. She said told the nurses if his RP found out Resident #1
was in that condition, she was going to be very upset. CNA F stated, I said you got to send him out! She
said at this point, the 2-10pm CNAs were coming into work and one of them tells her, wow, he is still like
this? RN A responded to that CNA that she was overridden by the DON. CNA F stated, Now he was getting
worse, [RN A] ended up sending him out. I told her he is a full code and has been like this all day and you
have let this happen your whole shift and passing it along to the next shift, so she finally sent him out. It
looked like he was dying. He had never been like that before. He had been declining for that past week
since I had taken care of him, not eating. CNA F said she had told the weekday nurse earlier in the week to
see if maybe they could do a UA or labs, but she did not know if any of that got done. CNA

Residents Affected - Some
Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to make prompt efforts by the facility to resolve
grievances the resident may have, receive and track grievances through to their conclusions; leading any
necessary investigations by the facility; and the facility failed to ensure that all written grievance decisions
include the date the grievance was received, a summary statement of the resident's grievance, the steps
taken to investigate the grievance, a summary of the pertinent findings or conclusions regarding the
resident's concerns(s), a statement as to whether the grievance was confirmed or not confirmed, any
corrective action taken or to be taken by the facility as a result of the grievance, and the date the written
decision was issued for one (Resident #2) of two residents reviewed for resident rights.
The facility failed to complete and/or provide a grievance form when the RP for Resident #2 verbally voiced
numerous concerns about the resident's care; nor was there evidence the facility completed an
investigation to ensure the concerns were promptly addressed and rectified and documented the resolution
of the grievance.
This failure could place residents at risk with unresolved grievances and unmet care needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #2's Face Sheet dated 10/25/24 reflected she resident was an [AGE] year old
female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had active diagnoses which included dementia and
Parkinson's disease.
Record review of Resident #2's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected she had a BIMS score
of 11, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #2's mood score was a 23, with issues
related to feeling down, depressed, trouble with appetite and energy, and issues with concentration.
Resident #2 was frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder and was dependent on toileting hygiene.
Resident #2 had two unstageable deep unstageable pressure injuries, surgical wounds and
moisture-associated skin damage. Resident #2 required pressure ulcer/injury care, surgical wound care,
applications of ointments/medications other than to feet, and application of dressings to feet. Resident #2
was taking the following high-risk medications: an anticoagulant, diuretic, opioid and hypoglycemic
medication and received physical, speech and occupational therapy.
An interview with Resident #2's RPs on 10/23/24 at 5:37 PM, revealed they had numerous concerns about
the resident's care that had not been addressed after numerous vocal attempts to bring it to the facility staff,
DON and Administrator's attention. The RPs stated the concerns involved:
1. Gabapentin (a medicine used to treat partial seizures, nerve pain from shingles and restless leg
syndrome) was added to Resident #2's medication regime, without MPOA approval and involvement in the
treatment decision.
2. Grievances not being addressed when brought up with the facility staff and management.
3. Resident #2's wound worsening and becoming infected.

7. Resident #2 was not changed prior to being taken to that appointment and arrived completed soaked in
urine and was wet down to her knees.
8. Upon returning from the appointment, Resident #2 was observed by the RP to have crystallized feces on
her bottom which indicted it had been there for a long time.
9. Resident #2's heel boots were not being used to offload for wound healing and as a result, she got a new
wound on her ankle.
10. RP has made numerous complaints to the Administrator and DON but nothing has been done to
address the concerns.
Resident #2's RP stated she was livid after seeing Resident #2 in the condition she was in at the doctor's
appointment. When they came back to the facility from that appointment on 10/07/24, she made sure
everyone knew that she was upset and the CNA and nurse cleaned the resident and ADON E was also
made aware. The RP stated Resident #2's wheelchair cushion was so saturated that when she lifted it out
of the wheelchair, urine dripped onto the floor. She had to take it home and wash it, which took three days
to completely clean and dry it out. The RP also stated the heel wound that was on Resident #2's foot was
caused by the staff not consistently putting the heel protector boot on or if they did, the heel boot was not
applied correctly to be effective, as the RP had witnessed on numerous occasions. She said when the heel
boot was observed off, she would have to remind the staff to put it on. The RP said prior to that, the wound
on her heel had been healing beautifully and the wound care doctor had been taking great care of her.
However, when the wound suddenly worsened, the wound care doctor and the podiatrist both told the RP
that is was a result of the staff not applying the heel protector boot on her foot as ordered. She said the heel
protector boot was supposed to be worn 24/7 and the podiatrist ordered its use in the beginning of August
2024. Resident #2's RP also said that Resident #2 also had a small dime size wound on her coccyx that
was being treated with barrier cream that worsened due to a concern the staff were not re-positioning and
off-loading her bottom. The RP said she observed Resident #2 also be showered during that time with no
dressing in place, which she felt allowed grime and germs to get into her wound. She said when she saw
that, she went crazy livid. She walked up and down the hall of the facility with a photo of the worsened
wound. She said the CNAs that worked with Resident #2 were also upset when they saw the photos
because they told her Resident #2's skin did not look like that when they had last worked with her the week
before. The RP stated as a direct result of the worsening wound, Resident #2 had to have a PICC line with
an antibiotic Vancomycin (an antibiotic that fights bacteria in the intestines) twice a day. She said the wound
doctor had to come out and debride the wound and the infectious disease doctor was called in who said
she did as much debridement as she could but could not make it to healthy skin. The following week the
wound care doctor was able to make it to Resident #2's healthy skin during the next debridement and after
a week or two the wound started improving. The RP felt the most of the staff were good, but very busy,
They are working under an untenable situation. She said one day she came to the facility and saw that the
PICC line was not adhered properly to Resident #2 and had not been changed. She asked the DON what
the policy was for changing the PICC line and the DON told her every seven

days. However, the last date on the dressing was 10/11/24, so she said seven days had passed. The DON
told the RP she would let the charge nurse know and dressed the nurse down in front of the RP, which the
RP thought was disrespectful, embarrassing and unprofessional and does not address the issue. She said
the facility promised they would train the staff on the heel protector boots but she did not think they followed
through with it. The RP stated on 10/23/24, Resident #2 had not been changed out of her dirty clothes and
was still observed to be wearing the clothing she had on from the day before. The RP also observed a male
CNA try to put Resident #2 to bed and she had the bandage on her wound on her coccyx and tried to do
peri care by wiping feces out from underneath the dressing where he had gotten in. She reported her
concern to the Administrator at that time because she and the DON were not copasetic. The RP said the
Administrator told her he would write up a grievance for her but never followed up with her about it. The RP
said she was never told that Resident #2 was seen by a pain management doctor and new orders given for
a new medication Gabapentin that did not address the pain because that medication was more for nerve
pain, which was not what Resident #2 had. The RP stated, This is all upsetting, I've told the Administrator.
She [Resident #2] deserves dignity and respect. She is not being cared for, not turning her, not putting her
call light in reach, the urine soaked cushion.
An interview with Resident #2 on 10/23/24 at 5:45 PM revealed she had not been changed and was wet
when she was at the doctor's appointment and that the call light was often not in reach. Resident #2 said
she was often in pain due to her Parkinson's, her wound and it hurt up and down her backbone and It is not
a little [pain]. I scream so they all know.
Review of the facility's grievances for the past 60 days reflected there were none for Resident #2.

An interview with the Administrator on 10/23/24 at 7:06 PM, revealed he did not have any grievances for
Resident #2. He stated the RP had come to him with some concerns the week prior, but he did not
complete a grievance form. He stated the RP did not like how the DON had talked to her and also had
some care concerns related to Resident #2. The Administrator stated the issue had to do with an
appointment that Resident #2 was supposed to be at and at the appointment, Resident #2 was soiled and it
appeared she had not been checked on or changed for a long time. The Administrator stated when he
investigated it, it appeared Resident #2 had gone to therapy that morning of the appointment and the CNA
had claimed she checked her brief prior to going to therapy. After therapy, she did not come back to her
room and went directly to the appointment, it was last minute due to confusion on if the appointment was
cancelled or not, So they hurried her out. The Administrator said he met with Resident #2's CNA about the
proper process for checking a resident after clocking into work. The Administrator stated he did not know
there were any issues related to Resident #2's pain medication. He said he met with Resident #2's RP
about the concern and it was discussed that maybe a Fentanyl patch would provide her a more steady
supply of pain management, but he was leaving the facility so he did not

document a grievance related to it. The Administrator stated about two to three weeks ago, Resident #2 had
a pressure ulcer on her bottom and there was no dressing on it after a shower and the daughter brought
the concern to him. The Administrator stated, To be honest, the [RP] that lives here, brings me a concern
every day. She is here a lot, every day, takes pictures of things, but at the same token when I speak to her, I
feel like her concerns are validated and let her know we can address them .She is a very anxious person.
The Administrator stated the RP was concerned Resident #2 was giving up her will to live and felt she was
on a downward route. Regarding grievances, the Administrator stated it was a judgement call whether or
not something was a grievance, Because with [Resident #2], the [RP] will bring up a grievance every day, to
be honest, I don't want my staff all the time to create grievance forms. I feel like we are addressing her
concerns. The Administrator said there was another issue with a wound on Resident #2's heel which
happened when she was at the facility for skilled rehab and her offloading boot was digging into her foot,
but that was the first time he had received a concern. The Administrator stated the following day (10/24/24)
the facility DON and himself were going to have a meeting with Resident #2's RP.
An interview with Corporate Registered Nurse on 10/24/24 at 11:20 AM, revealed he had participated in a
meeting with Resident #2's family that morning (10/24/24) and he did not know why the facility had not
completed any grievances prior to that meeting about the RP's issues, But they seemed to be making
progress with the family and hearing their concerns. The Corporate Registered Nurse stated that most of
the RP's issues seemed to be about staffing. He said, But the facility staffs at a higher rate than most
facilities and that was explained to them.
An interview with ADON E on 10/25/24 at 1:27 PM, revealed when there was a grievance voiced by a
resident's RP, as the ADON, she would go and assess the resident and address the concerns lodged by
the RP or the resident and after that, We tell them to fill out the [grievance] form and then see if we need to
retrain or educate staff; we need to implement what was lacking and we keep following up. ADON E said
the reason a grievance form needed to be completed by the staff or by the person lodging the concern was
so that everyone who worked with that resident understood what was lacking in their care and everyone
had equal responsibility to know what was going on and the solution, That is why we do grievances and not
just handle it. ADON E stated the social services staff was responsible for gathering the grievance forms
and making sure they went to the right department. If it could not be solved, then management needed to
be consulted to see if there was anything further that could be done.
An interview with the DON on 10/25/24 at 1:57 PM, revealed with Resident #2, some of the issues
presented to her by the RP were that the resident got a new wound, there were concerns about the
resident's clothing not being changed and then a concern about Resident #2's brief being changed. The
DON stated she did talk with the RP about therapy and who was responsible for changing Resident #2
when she was soiled. The DON stated that the issue brought up recently by Resident #2's RP was related
to incontinent care. A CNA who provided care to Resident #2 thought therapy had changed the resident
and therapy thought the CNA had changed the resident, as a result, Resident #2 was sent to a doctor's
appointment wet with urine. Resident #2's RP came to the DON and expressed her complaint. The DON
went to the social services staff (SS H) and SS H went to the CNA and disciplined her for not providing
incontinent care prior to the doctor's appointment because, It is her job, not therapy's. The DON said
moving forward, she had now instructed the van driver to make sure residents were clean and not soiled

Administrator gave her one. She stated the day prior was the first time the RP mentioned any concerns with
the staff and had never mentioned it before. With the boot, the DON said Resident #2's RP always talked to
the wound nurse who took care of any concerns and the DON also reminded the CNAs when the boot
should be placed on her feet. The DON felt that Resident #2's RP did not voice anything that would rise to a
grievance level, we took care of it.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview with the Administrator on 10/25/24 at 2:32 PM. revealed that relating to grievances for
Resident #2, I can't say where my notes went from our conversation with [Resident #2's RP] but I do feel
like the concerns were voiced that day she [Resident #2] went out and was wet. The Administrator stated
Resident #2's RP had come to him after that appointment the day it happened and was very upset. The RP
reported to him that Resident #2 was soiled and what was the facility going to do about it. The Administrator
said he did an investigation and interviewed a lot of people, including therapy. He said he needed to be
better at documenting the grievances lodged by family members but it was a challenge because he was out
on the floor a lot. The Administrator stated he had a meeting with Resident #2's RP the day prior (10/24/24)
and the RP was bringing up issues from three weeks prior, so he told her to write up her concerns and
gave her a grievance form.
An email correspondence with Resident #2's RP on 10/28/24 at 12:16 AM, revealed on Thursday, 10/24/24,
the Administrator approached her and asked her if she had ever seen a grievance form and handed her
one. She reminded him that during one of their previous conversations, he had offered to complete it for
her. The RP said, [The Administrator] looked upward then said 'Uhhh, I don't think I did. I'll check on that'.
The RP stated, I don't believe you will find a grievance form noting my concerns for [Resident #2's] care.
This would also explain why my questions were not answered.
Review of the facility's Recording and Investigating Grievances/Complaints, policy, revised April 2017,
reflected: All grievances filed with the facility will be investigated and corrective action will be taken to
resolve the grievance(s); .2. Upon receiving a grievance and complaint report, the grievance officer will
begin an investigation into the allegations, 3. The department director(S) of any named employe will be
notified of the nature of the complaint and that an investigation is underway, .5. The grievance officer will
record nd maintain all grievances and complaints on the 'Resident Grievance Complaint Log', .6. The
'Resident Grievance/Complaint Investigation Report Form' will be filed with the administrator within five (5)
working days of the incident, 7. The resident, or person acting on behalf of the resident, will be informed of
the findings of the investigation, as well as any corrective actions recommended, within ____[blank] working
days of the filing of the grievance or complaint, 8. The grievance officer will coordinate actions with the
appropriate state and federal agencies depending on the nature of the allegations. All alleged violations of
neglect, abuse and or misappropriation of property will be reported and investigated under guidelines for
reporting abuse, neglect and misappropriation or property, as per state law.

Residents Affected - Some
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident has the right to be free
from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation for one (Resident #1) of five
residents reviewed for neglect.
1. The facility neglected to ensure Resident #1 who was a diabetic resident, was accurately assessed,
monitored and treated for a change in condition he had when he had an elevated and abnormal lab with a
blood glucose of 334 on 09/17/24, followed by a deterioration through 10/06/24 of his willingness to eat.
Resident #1 had a change in condition which included him becoming unresponsive on 10/06/24. Resident
#1 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] and was found to have a blood glucose reading of 1,139 (Normal
glucose range for a person with diabetes who has well-controlled levels is 72-99 while fasting and up to 140
about 2 hours after eating) and an Hemoglobin A1C (three month average of blood sugar) of 13 (normal
range is below 5.7).
2. The facility neglected to have a system in place for Resident #1, who was no longer on hyperglycemic
medication, to have routine blood glucose monitoring in the facility via daily, weekly or monthly checks for
the past 12 months.
4. The facility neglected to complete an Hemoglobin A1C on Resident #1 every six months to monitor any
increases in his blood glucose.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 10/23/24 at 4:42 PM. The IJ template was provided
to the facility's Administrator on 10/23/24 at 4:50 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
10/25/24, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of no actual harm with potential for
more than minimal harm and at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the
effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving timely medical intervention as needed and
ordered by the physician, of not having their health condition monitored timely for changes in condition,
which could result in a delay in medical intervention and decline in health or possible worsening of
symptoms, including death.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 10/23/24 reflected the resident was a [AGE] year old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses that included Type 2 Diabetes, Hemiplegia and
Hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body), Aphasia (a communication disorder that impairs a
person's ability to process language), Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (a
chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe fatigue and joint pain), Hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat
in the blood), Vascular Dementia (a type of dementia caused by brain damage due to impaired blood flow),
Epilepsy (seizure disorder), COPD (persistent respiratory symptoms like breathlessness and cough),
Functional Quadriplegia (complete immobility due to move )Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (heart disease
where plague builds up in the arterial walls).
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected minimal difficulty with
hearing, unclear speech, sometimes understood and usually understood others, and no vision

issues. Resident #1 was assessed as having a BIMS score of 15. He had no mood issues, no behaviors,
psychosis, rejection of care or wandering. Resident #1 had range of motion impairment in both sides of his
upper and lower extremities. Resident #1 used a wheelchair for mobility and was dependent on staff for all
ADLS to include dressing, hygiene, transfers, eating and basic mobility. Resident #1 was always incontinent
of bowel and bladder, he had a gastrostomy tube (a surgically placed device that provides direct access to
the stomach for supplemental feeding, hydration or medication) Resident #1's assessment reflected he was
not prescribed any insulin during the assessment period.
Record review of an updated BIMS form in Resident #1's clinical chart completed on 10/21/24 by the SLP
when she completed he Speech therapy assessment reflected a BIMS score of 00, which indicted severe
cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan initiated 01/11/22 and last revised on 10/07/24 reflected,
[Resident #1] has the potential for complication hypo-hyperglycemia r/t Diabetes, Date Initiated:

Record review of Resident #1's physician orders for the past 12 months (10/01/2023 through 10/23/2024)
reflected no orders for insulin, oral diabetic medication, blood glucose monitoring or routine A1C labs.
Resident #1 did not have a physician's order to check his blood glucose routinely or PRN. (Note:
Hypoglycemia occurs when the glucose levels in the blood are elevated, typically above 180 to 200 mg. If
not managed, it can lead to severe complications such as nerve damage, kidney failure, and cardiovascular
diseases).
Review of Resident #1's clinical chart to include previous hospital documentation, revealed that part of his
pertinent medical history occurred when he went to the hospital on [DATE] when he experienced a change
of condition at the facility. At that time, he was not a known diabetic and it was not a diagnosis listed in his
clinical chart at the facility nor at the hospital . At the hospital, he was UA positive for high white blood cell
count and a rare bacteria (name not listed in hospital documentation), his A1C was 7.9 and his blood
glucose was 611 and he was septic due to likely severe dehydration. Resident #1 was stabilized and
discharged back to the facility with new orders for insulin to be administered and a diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus.
Record review of nurse practitioner encounter progress note dated 10/26/22 by a previous extender for MD
G reflected she reviewed Resident #1's past medical history, which she documented had not been done
since 02/05/22. The DNP reviewed Resident #1's previous stay at the hospital on [DATE]. The DNP stated
that Resident #1 had been admitted to the ER due to weakness, cough, SOB, low sats and hypotension.
The DNP noted Resident #1 was started on sepsis protocol at the hospital and antibiotics and was
admitted to ICU. His labs showed a glucose of 611 and he was admitted with severe dehydration, sepsis,
hyperglycemia, AKI, hypotension and metabolic acidosis. The DNP documented that on 08/10/22, the
facility staff asked if the insulin Lantus could be discontinued. DNP stated, Pt seen in dining hall, doing well,
no complaints. BS trends reviewed, BS well controlled with some BS on low side. Lantus d/c'ed. There was
no documentation to reflect if Resident #1 would continue to receive routine or periodic blood glucose
monitoring at the facility to monitor his diabetes.

Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected the following blood glucose readings were last ones
recorded and taken by the facility and were over a year old: (10/05/2023)-BS 142, (09/07/2022 two years
earlier)-BS 100. Prior to that, Resident #1's blood glucose was being taken three to four times a day by the
nurses since his discharge from a ER hospital stay on 01/09/22 when he was re-admitted to the facility and
he was receiving a diabetic-formulated enteral feed as a supplement through his g-tube daily. Blood
glucose readings during that time vacillated from 74 at the lowest to 295 at the highest, all while he was
being administered insulin on a routine basis to control his hyperglycemia. There was no evidence that the
blood glucose checks were discontinued by the MD in 2022 and 2023.
Record review of Resident #1's completed metabolic panel lab completed on 09/17/24 reflected a high
glucose level of 334 (reference range is 65-110).
Record review of Resident #1's nursing progress notes after the abnormal lab value for his blood glucose
on 09/17/24 reflected there was no documentation that the MD or NP were notified of Resident #1's
elevated blood glucose or that his blood glucose was checked by the charge nurses after that. Dietary and
nursing progress notes after the elevated blood glucose level reflected Resident #1 was not eating; the
speech therapist was notified and his diet was changed to finger foods. Resident #1 continued to not eat
and sustained a fall after losing his balance. On 10/06/24, he was noted in a nursing progress note to be
throwing up and hiccupping continuously. At that time, his vitals were taken and were: Blood pressure
122/64, Pulse 99, Respirations 20, Temperature 97.8, Oxygen saturation at 97. On 10/06/24, Resident #1
was not able to eat breakfast and refused when the staff attempted to feed him. His attending physician
[MD G] was notified and gave a new order to start IV Nacl0.9 % @ 100 ml/hr. x 2 liters, CBC, CMP and UA
Stat. The progress note reflected, In a little moment before IV inserted, resident observed lethargic, more
confused, B/S was reading HI on the machine, then started having SOB, [MD G] called again and
recommended resident to be send out to ER [written by RN A].
Record review of Resident #1's hospital documentation reflected he was admitted to the ER on [DATE] at
2:18 PM. In the critical care unit, he was diagnosed with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) and severe sepsis.
Resident #1's blood glucose was 1139 and his A1C was 13. Hospital documentation by the physician
reflected a concern that Resident #1 was diabetic and his decline was, Likely triggered by infection, ?
Compliance, not clear that SNF was giving insulin- Fluid resuscitation with 2100 L NS bolus EMS and ED.
Resident #1 received hourly finger sticks initially upon admission to the hospital and was placed on an NPO
diet until the DKA resolved. Resident #1 was started on Lantus. Resident #1 met the Sepsis criteria and
was administered antibiotics which included Rocephin by EMS and Zosyn and Vancomycin in ED. Resident
#1 was also diagnosed with an AKI (acute kidney injury) which was noted to likely be secondary to severe
dehydration. The ICU physician documented that all interventions provided by the hospital were necessary
to prevent further life-threatening deterioration and/or death from conditions listed the assessment and
plan. Resident #1 remained in ICU for four days. On 10/10/24, Resident #1 was seen in the hospital by the
Nephrologist who documented Resident #1 had Hyperkalemia, Likely secondary to uncontrolled blood
sugars and potassium shifts. Resident #1 was discharged from the hospital back to the facility on [DATE]
with orders for insulin glargine-Lantus 100 unit/mL injection-Inject 20 Units under the skin daily (start
10/18/24) and insulin lispro-Humalog Inject 0-15 Units into the skin 3(three) times daily with meals (start
10/18/24).
An interview with the Administrator and DON on 10/23/24 at 9:40 AM, revealed Resident #1 was sent to the
hospital because he was unresponsive, sweating and had vomited. When he arrived at the ER, the hospital
found him to have a high blood sugar and urine concentration. The family told the Administrator and DON
Resident #1's blood glucose was over 1,000 and he was dehydrated. The DON stated

Resident #1 had a peg-tube that was used for flushing and for administering his Keppra medication since
he did not like the taste of it. The DON stated his peg-tube was flushed four times a day to make sure he
was well-hydrated. The DON stated Resident #1 was also on two cans of Glucerna a day and he ate three
meals a day with no restrictions and could drink by mouth. The DON stated she started employment at the
facility in April 2024 and found that one of the previous DONs discontinued Resident #1's Lantus and
insulin because his blood sugars were in the 80s and 90s. Since then, the DON stated the facility was doing
a CMP, CMP and A1C every six months for Resident #1 and the values were normal. She stated the facility
checked labs for Resident #1 in September 2024 and high sugar was a little high, but that was drawn right
after his meal. Doctor said all previous readings were good on that sugar, the doctor did not give new
orders. After that he was well. The DON stated on weekend after that, Resident #1 was a little tired on a
Friday night and by that next Sunday the nurse reported he looked very lethargic, So we sent him out. At
the hospital, the DON stated his blood sugar was high but nothing had triggered the facility to place him
back on insulin prior to that. She stated Resident #1's family was upset that the facility was not checking
and monitoring Resident #1's blood sugar. The DON stated she explained to the family that Resident #1's
diabetes was diet controlled and he was not showing signs or symptoms of hyperglycemia and was coming
to the dining room every day and eating everything. She said Resident #1's weight was stable plus the
nurses were flushing his peg tube four times a day. After the hospitalization, the Administrator and DON
stated they had a care plan meeting with Resident #1's RP and the doctor covering for Resident #1's
attending ([NAME]) for about two hours. The meeting concerned whether or not the RP wanted to re-admit
Resident #1 back to the facility's care. The DON stated there was an NP or PA at the hospital who had told
Resident #1's RP that he should have not been in the condition he was in, although he had been here
without many real issues for the past two years. The Administrator state that he explained to the RP about
labs and how doctors prescribed medications to residents based on those lab values. The Administrator
stated, I think she was off guard that he wasn't taking insulin. He stated at a second meeting, the
Ombudsman was present and told the facility they needed to look at how frequently CNAs correctly
observed and documented his meal intake because she felt it was not accurate. The DON stated a week
before Resident #1 was sent to the ER, they started noticing he was being picky and they changed his diet
to finger foods and he was doing okay with it. The Administrator stated Resident #1 was in the ICU for a
while, But our system worked; we identified, sent him out and they saved his life. Since his discharge from
the hospital back to the facility, the DON stated Resident #1 now has a continuous order for g-tube feedings
during the night, 150 cc of water flushes every four hours, blood glucose checks three times daily and an
order for Lantus sliding scale plus Lantus 20 units every morning. The DON stated that Resident #1 was not
interviewable and only responded in the affirmative or negative, but not much.
A follow-up interview with the DON on 10/23/24 at 12:38 PM revealed she checked Resident #1's clinical
records and discontinued orders to see when Resident #1 took his last dose of insulin at the facility. She
stated the last time she saw that he got insulin was the month of February 2022 and blood sugar checks
were stopped at some point in 2022 but she did not know why. The DON stated there were no routine blood
sugar checks for Resident #1 at the facility since then but his CBC, CMP and A1C were routinely checked.
The DON stated an A1C labs gave a three month look back at a resident's average blood glucose and the
last one completed was in February 2024. The DON stated, We are a little late on getting the most recent
one done. There is no time-frame but is the labs are in good range or a little high, they do them every six
months. More than 10 (value) for an A1C and it is critical then we do the A1C every three months. She
stated Resident #1 would have been due

for an A1C in August 2024. She said a BMP was done in September 2024 which showed Resident #1 had
a blood glucose reading of 334 but it was right after breakfast so Physician B told the DON to look at the
time of the blood drawn and did not want another one drawn. The DON stated that diabetic residents should
have an A1C lab completed every six months and that is was not a policy, it was standard practice. She
stated she had not read the facility's policy on Diabetic Management since she started employment as the
DON. In hindsight, the DON stated, If it were me, I would have questioned the blood sugar of over 300 and
maybe rechecked it if I were the doctor, but he said it was due to the resident eating breakfast. The DON
could not say if anyone at the facility had re-checked Resident #1's blood sugar once the abnormal lab
came back.
An interview with Physician B on 10/23/24 at 1:33 PM revealed the last time he saw Resident #1 was when
he came back from the hospital in October 2024. Physician B stated, I don't recall seeing him in 2024.
Usually we see the long term once a year and a NP who sees him once a month, I may not have seen him
this year at all. With abnormal labs, Physician B stated sometimes the facility would text him right away,
routine labs were supposed to be faxed to his office number and put in PCC and he could review the lab for
the skilled residents when he came to the facility twice a week. For long-term residents, like Resident #1,
the NP mostly ordered labs and were supposed to review then and if there was any action needing to be
taken, they will. He stated Resident #1 was long-term, so NP C would have been the one notified of his
abnormal lab, not him. Phy B stated he was not notified about Resident #1's abnormal blood sugar of 334
on 09/17/24 until after the resident had a change of condition and was sent out to the hospital and the RP
voiced concerns about Resident #1's care. Phy B stated for diabetic residents, if they were not prescribed
insulin, then the recommendation was for them to have a A1C every six months, even if they were stable
with their routine blood sugar checks. He stated that monitoring guideline was from the geriatric college of
medicine and the blood glucose values for residents in a long-term care facility were done twice a year. Phy
B stated he had gone back and reviewed Resident #1's chart after his ER visit and saw that he was on
insulin in 2022 and at that time his sugars were running normal but it appeared that someone at that time
decided to discontinue his insulin. Phy B stated that was not unusual because, We all know in diabetic
patients they have a honeymoon period where their blood sugars are okay and we continue to monitor and
take them off treatment because we don't want low blood sugars in nursing home patients because a lot of
them can't communicate and tell us symptoms like [Resident #1]. Phy B stated once a resident's blood
sugar went low and they are in a hypoglycemic state, it could be detrimental for their health, That is why we
let their blood sugars run a little higher, even if the A1C is a little higher. So I think it wasn't unusual to do
that and two years he did not have any problems. Phy B speculated that he felt Resident #1 had an
infection which he felt was a common reason of putting a person into DKA-diabetic ketoacidosis, and
Resident #1 also had a wound at the hospital which could have contributed to it as well. Phy B then stated,
The only thing I identified to be honest with you, could still be the same outcome on our end, I am the first
one to take blame, there wasn't oversight on our part that the A1C was not done in 6 months, it had last
been done in February and it should have been done in August so we take blame for that. I told the [RP]
that as well because it happened on my watch and I was supposed to oversee his care. It is a problem and
I have asked the DON to implement a protocol for A1C every six months. So now, since this happened, we
have asked the facility on their end to put an automatic protocol where they do them every six monthshemoglobin A1C. Phy B said the only thing he saw missing in Resident #1's care was that the A1C was not
completed. He said that going in DKA was possible even in a fully controlled diabetic resident in a few days
to a few hours, however, it was an unfortunate thing that happened and he took

full responsibility for the lab not being done, it was a mistake and the facility was rectifying the problem. Phy
B said that it would be hard to say if he would have acted on Resident #1's blood glucose level being over
300, he would have told the facility to check it a few more times to make sure it was not trending up. If he
was trending up, then he would no longer be in the honeymoon period with his diabetes and they would
need to start treating him for it. Phy B said all labs were supposed to be reviewed by himself or the NP C
and for Resident #1, NP C should have reviewed them at that time. Additionally, the change of status
should have been reported to him or the NP C because that was important information. If the facility did not
notify him, then there is no way for him to know if the resident was having a change in condition.
An interview with ADON E on 10/23/24 at 2:06 PM revealed nothing dramatic had occurred with Resident
#1 prior to him being sent to the hospital. ADON E stated Resident #1 was not on insulin and his A1C lab
should be done every six months if there was no order for it. If there was a change in condition, then the
facility needed to notify the doctor and get an order immediately and monitor to see if more frequent labs
needed to be done. ADON E stated Resident #1's elevated CMP lab on 09/16/24 may have been higher
than expected depending on if the lab tech was able ot get a fasting lab or if it was glucose random. She
stated with an abnormal glucose reading over 300, the NP or MD was present in the facility each week so
the charge nurse should have relayed the abnormal lab value to them and they could have given an order.
The nurse then would need to document what the plan was, that there was an abnormal lab, even if no new
orders. ADON E stated the reason to notify the doctor was to see if the resident needed insulin or oral
medication for hyperglycemia. ADON E stated when a resident's lab was abnormal for high blood glucose,
she would expect the charge nurse to assess the resident to see if they were eating or drinking well and
doing their regular activities and also alert the doctor and communicate to them the results. If the resident
was sweating, lethargic, then the nurse should know there was something going on and needed to check
the resident's vitals and maybe their blood sugar. She stated, Maybe they didn't check his glucose because
he had been stable. ADON E stated a resident with hypoglycemia would present with lethargy, sweating
and confused. She said Resident #2 was not showing any of those signs when she rounded during the
mornings and no one had reported anything to her.
An interview with NP C on 10/23/24 at 2:25 PM revealed she was made aware of Resident #1's change in
condition when he came back from the hospital and the facility had informed her that there were going to be
new protocols that would be implemented. NP C stated the issues had to do with some lack of oversight on
the facility and her/Phy B's end like Resident #1 could have had an A1C a little sooner. NP C stated she
saw Resident #1 occasionally and he did not seem off to her and she had not heard from the facility that he
was declining. NP C stated, In the future, we need to have a protocol in place for diabetics. I don't believe I
was made aware of his high blood sugar, that would have prompted me for further testing . I would have
done accuchecks, A1C and a repeat BMP. NP C stated Resident #1 had not been administered insulin even
though he was diabetic because he was previously diet-managed, so he was being monitored through
routine A1Cs. NP C stated, We are fixing that, there should have been a routine order. NP C stated the
failure was the breakdown in communication and an oversight on their part. She said if she had heard
Resident #1 was not drinking or eating, she would also check for UTI, That is my standard .this one was
very unfortunate for [Resident #1], it's not okay and I hope some of those measures we are taking moving
forward help.
An observation and attempted interview of Resident #1 on 10/24/24 at 9:45 AM revealed he was lying in
bed, the fingers on his left hand were contracted, his right leg was contracted and he was not able to
articulate words verbally nor was his communication device charged and functional. There was a strong
smell of feces coming from him. At the time of

the observation, Resident #1 could not answer questions related to his diabetic care and change of
condition that sent him to the hospital. He tugged on his bed sheet and motioned to some dark brown spots
on it. When asked if he made a bowel movement and needed to be changed he nodded his head yes. After
that, Resident #1 did not respond to any more questions.
An interview with the DOR on 10/24/24 at 12:29 PM revealed Resident #1 had expressive aphasia and
could only speak a few words. The DOR did not specify a specific time/date, but stated before Resident #1
was sent to the hospital, the staff had come to her within a week or so prior saying that he was not wanting
to eat, he complained about the food and he was sending it back to the kitchen. The DOR stated, So we
adjusted for finger foods for better compliance. The DOR said Resident #1 came back from the hospital in
October 2024 and was picked up for speech services.
Record review of a Dietary Note dated 9/24/24 reflected, Resident was observed in the dining room during
lunch time that he was not properly eating regular texture, after speaking to the resident and ST he agreed
to change him to finger foods.
An interview with LVN D on 10/25/24 at 12:43 PM revealed she worked with Resident #1 two days before
he was sent to the hospital and to her, he did not seem different and had gone to the dining room to eat,
picked at his lunch, but that was not unusual. She said she gave him supplement shakes and often had a
hard time to get him to drink water. LVN D stated she knew Resident #1 had an BMP lab ordered, but was
not aware of the results. She stated typically when a lab came back abnormal or critical, the nurse receiving
the lab results was supposed to document it in a nursing note and put it in the 24-hour communication log.
Then the nurse was supposed to report the results to the NP or MD and they were supposed to provide
interventions or a new plan to start that resident on insulin. LVN D stated she did not know why Resident #1
was not prescribed insulin anymore. She said he had not been on insulin since she came back to work for
the facility in December 2023 and she said maybe the facility thought it was controlled. With diabetics, LVN
D said of they were not on insulin and not on weekly checks to make sure their blood sugars are stable,
then they were supposed to get A1Csevery six months. She stated the MD was supposed to write that
routine order into the online e-chart system and then it would generate on the MAR each time it was due.
LVN D stated again she did not see much of a change in Resident #1 but could see how he became
dehydrated since because it was hard for them to get him to drink water, but his blood sugars going up, I
was not expecting that.
An interview with CNA F on 10/25/24 at 1:35 PM revealed she was Resident #1's CNA on the morning
shifts and was present at the facility when he was sent out to the hospital. CNA F stated that whole week
Resident #1 had not been feeling good, he was not eating. She took care of him every day and said he did
not communicate, he did not eat, he did not want to drink water. On Saturday 10/05/24, he was still not
feeling well, not eating, just lying in bed and was restless. CNA F told the charge nurse (RN A) and she
looked at him but that was when CNA F was leaving for the end of her shift. CNA F stated she thought the
facility would send him out to the hospital. But when she came in the next morning, Sunday 10/06/24, she
went to the nurses' station and asked the overnight nurse how Resident #1 was doing because CNA F
assumed he had been sent out the day prior based on his deteriorating condition. The overnight nurse said
he was fine. So CNA F walked to Resident #1's room and the roommate at that time told her that Resident
#1 had been making barking sounds all night long. When CNA F saw Resident #1, he was making
squeaking sounds, which was unusual. He was sweating and throwing the blankets off of him. She said he
was usually cold natured, so that was different for him as well. She said Resident #1 could not keep his
eyes open when she tried to rouse him and talk to him. She was trying to ask him basic questions but he
was not responding and was making a hiccupping sound. CNA F said the roommate told her no one came
to check on Resident #1 throughout the night prior. CNA F

then went to the overnight nurse again and told her that Resident #1 did not look right. The overnight nurse
went to check on him along with some other weekend nurse on the hall. They checked Resident #1's
oxygen saturation levels which were at 78. He was given oxygen and the nurses re-checked his O2 and it
was still down at 78. It eventually started to come back up but he was still making the strange noise and
then started throwing up watery yellowish bile, Like someone who had not eaten for a long time. CNA F
said the morning nurse, RN A (same nurse as day before) came onto the floor and checked on him. CNA F
said she told RN A the way Resident #1 was looking, he needed to be sent out. RN A then told CNA F she
was going to send him out and contacted the DON and said Resident #1 was not looking good. The DON
then told RN A, per CNA F, no, do not send him out because the facility's census was low, so RN A did not
send him out to the hospital. Instead, CNA F said RN A said she would get an order for an IV and she did,
but she did not know how to insert the line. CNA F said she was present and RN A did not even attempt to
insert the IV. She told CNA F that she did not know how to do it, which part of the arm to access and that
she could not find a vein. CNA F stated, I am asking her you are not going to send him out? And she says I
need to try the IV with water, then that was when she said she didn't know how. So then, she didn't do
nothing. CNA F stated RN A tried to check his blood sugar, then told CNA F that Resident #1 might not
even be a diabetic. She stated she was present when RN A and another nurse were in the room trying to
get a blood sugar reading when the other nurse asked RN A is Resident #1 was a diabetic and RN A
responded no. CNA F stated she never heard them say a blood sugar out loud, so she did not think they
were able to get one. CNA F then stated later on, It was so frustrating because he was weak and now it's
noon and he can't hold up his arms or legs. Around noon, CNA F said she was shaking Resident #1, his
eyes would not open and he was breathing fast. She said told the nurses if his RP found out Resident #1
was in that condition, she was going to be very upset. CNA F stated, I said you got to send him out! She
said at this point, the 2-10pm CNAs were coming into work and one of them tells her, wow, he is still like
this? RN A responded to that CNA that she was overridden by the DON. CNA F stated, Now he was getting
worse, [RN A] ended up sending him out. I told her he is a full code and has been like this all day and you
have let this happen your whole shift and passing it along to the next shift, so she finally sent him out. It
looked like he was dying. He had never been like that before. He had been declining for that past week
since I had taken care of him, not eating. [TRUNCATED]

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with
professional standards of practice, the comprehensive resident-centered care plan for one (Resident #1) of
five residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 who was a diabetic resident, was accurately assessed,
monitored and treated for a change in condition he had when he had an elevated and abnormal lab with a
blood glucose of 334 on 09/17/24, followed by a deterioration of his willingness to eat then a change in
condition which included him becoming unresponsive. At the hospital, Resident #1 was found to have a
blood glucose reading of 1,139 (Normal glucose range for a person with diabetes who has well-controlled
levels is 72-99 while fasting and up to 140 about 2 hours after eating) and an Hemoglobin A1C three month
average of blood sugar) of 13 (normal range is below 5.7).
2. The facility charge nurses across all shifts failed to check Resident #1's blood glucose when he
experienced a decline and a change of condition during the two weeks after an abnormal lab glucose value
of 334 on 09/17/24 to being sent out to the hospital on [DATE]. Additionally, the facility did not contact the
MD or NP to notify them of the elevated blood glucose level. Only prior to calling sending Resident #1 to the
ER, did the charge nurse attempt to check Resident #1's blood glucose, but it could not register on the
glucometer and indicated HI [high].
3. The facility failed to have routine blood glucose monitoring in the facility via daily, weekly or monthly
checks for Resident #1 for the past 12 months.
4. The facility failed to have a system in place to routinely monitor Resident #1 blood glucose via an A1C
lab every six months.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 10/23/24 at 4:42 PM. The IJ template was provided
to the facility's Administrator on 10/23/24 at 4:50 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on
10/25/24, the facility remained out of compliance at the severity level of no actual harm with potential for
more than minimal harm and at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the
effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving timely medical intervention as needed and
ordered by the physician, of not having their health condition monitored timely for changes in condition,
which could result in a delay in medical intervention and decline in health or possible worsening of
symptoms, including death.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 10/23/24 reflected the resident was a [AGE] year old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses that included Type 2 Diabetes, Hemiplegia and
Hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body), Aphasia (a communication disorder that impairs a
person's ability to process language), Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (a
chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe fatigue and joint pain), Hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat
in the blood), Vascular Dementia (a type of dementia caused by brain damage due to impaired blood flow),
Epilepsy (seizure disorder), COPD (persistent respiratory symptoms like breathlessness and cough),

Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected minimal difficulty with
hearing, unclear speech, sometimes understood and usually understood others, and no vision issues.
Resident #1 was assessed as having a BIMS score of 15. He had no mood issues, no behaviors,
psychosis, rejection of care or wandering. Resident #1 had range of motion impairment in both sides of his
upper and lower extremities. Resident #1 used a wheelchair for mobility and was dependent on staff for all
ADLS to include dressing, hygiene, transfers, eating and basic mobility. Resident #1 was always incontinent
of bowel and bladder, he had a gastrostomy tube (a surgically placed device that provides direct access to
the stomach for supplemental feeding, hydration or medication). Resident #1's assessment reflected he
was not prescribed any insulin during the assessment period.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of an updated BIMS form in Resident #1's clinical chart completed on 10/21/24 by the SLP
when she completed he Speech therapy assessment reflected a BIMS score of 00, which indicted severe

Record review of Resident #1's physician orders for the past 12 months (10/01/2023 through 10/23/2024)
reflected no orders for insulin, oral diabetic medication, blood glucose monitoring or routine A1C labs.
Resident #1 did not have a physician's order to check his blood glucose routinely or PRN. (Note:
Hypoglycemia occurs when the glucose levels in the blood are elevated, typically above 180 to 200 mg. If
not managed, it can lead to severe complications such as nerve damage, kidney failure, and cardiovascular
diseases).
Review of Resident #1's clinical chart to include previous hospital documentation, revealed that part of his
pertinent medical history occurred when he went to the hospital on [DATE] when he experienced a change
of condition at the facility. At that time, he was not a known diabetic and it was not a diagnosis listed in his
clinical chart at the facility nor at the hospital . At the hospital, he was UA positive for high white blood cell
count and a rare bacteria (name not listed in hospital documentation), his A1C was 7.9 and his blood
glucose was 611 and he was septic due to likely severe dehydration. Resident #1 was stabilized and
discharged back to the facility with new orders for insulin to be administered and a diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus.

08/10/22, the facility staff asked if the insulin Lantus could be discontinued. DNP stated, Pt seen in dining
hall, doing well, no complaints. BS trends reviewed, BS well controlled with some BS on low side. Lantus
d/c'ed. There was no documentation to reflect if Resident #1 would continue to receive routine or periodic
blood glucose monitoring at the facility to monitor his diabetes.
Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected the following blood glucose readings were last ones
recorded and taken by the facility and were over a year old: (10/05/2023)-BS 142, (09/07/2022 two years
earlier)-BS 100. Prior to that, Resident #1's blood glucose was being taken three to four times a day by the
nurses since his discharge from a ER hospital stay on 01/09/22 when he was re-admitted to the facility and
he was receiving a diabetic-formulated enteral feed as a supplement through his g-tube daily. Blood
glucose readings during that time vacillated from 74 at the lowest to 295 at the highest, all while he was
being administered insulin on a routine basis to control his hyperglycemia. There was no evidence that the
blood glucose checks were discontinued by the MD in 2022 and 2023.
Record review of Resident #1's completed metabolic panel lab completed on 09/17/24 reflected a high
glucose level of 334 (reference range is 65-110).
Record review of Resident 1's nursing progress notes after the abnormal lab value for his blood glucose on
09/17/24 reflected there was no documentation that the MD or NP were notified of Resident #1's elevated
blood glucose or that his blood glucose was checked by the charge nurses after that. Dietary and nursing
progress notes after the elevated blood glucose level reflected Resident #1 was not eating; the speech
therapist was notified and his diet was changed to finger foods. Resident #1 continued to not eat and
sustained a fall after losing his balance. On 10/06/24, he was noted in a nursing progress note to be
throwing up and hiccupping continuously. At that time, his vitals were taken and were: Blood pressure
122/64, Pulse 99, Respirations 20, Temperature 97.8, Oxygen saturation at 97. On 10/06/24, Resident #1
was not able to eat breakfast and refused when the staff attempted to feed him. His attending physician
[MD G] was notified and gave a new order to start IV Nacl0.9 % @ 100 ml/hr. x 2 liters, CBC, CMP and UA
Stat. The progress note reflected, In a little moment before IV inserted, resident observed lethargic, more
confused, B/S was reading HI on the machine, then started having SOB, [MD G] called again and
recommended resident to be send out to ER [written by RN A].
Record review of Resident #1's hospital documentation from reflected he was admitted to the ER on [DATE]
at 2:18 PM. In the critical care unit, he was diagnosed with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) and severe sepsis.
Resident #1's blood glucose was 1139 and his A1C was 13. Hospital documentation by the physician
reflected a concern that Resident #1 was diabetic and his decline was, Likely triggered by infection, ?
Compliance, not clear that SNF was giving insulin- Fluid resuscitation with 2100 L NS bolus EMS and ED.
Resident #1 received hourly finger sticks initially upon admission to the hospital and was placed on an NPO
diet until the DKA resolved. Resident #1 was started on Lantus. Resident #1 met the Sepsis criteria and
was administered antibiotics which included Rocephin by EMS and Zosyn and Vancomycin in ED. Resident
#1 was also diagnosed with an AKI (acute kidney injury) which was noted to likely be secondary to severe
dehydration. The ICU physician documented that all interventions provided by the hospital were necessary
to prevent further life-threatening deterioration and/or death from conditions listed the assessment and
plan. Resident #1 remained in ICU for four days. On 10/10/24, Resident #1 was seen in the hospital by the
Nephrologist who documented Resident #1 had Hyperkalemia, Likely secondary to uncontrolled blood

An interview with the Administrator and DON on 10/23/24 at 9:40 AM revealed Resident #1 was sent to the
hospital because he was unresponsive, sweating and had vomited. When he arrived at the ER, the hospital
found him to have a high blood sugar and urine concentration. The family told the Administrator and DON
Resident #1's blood glucose was over 1,000 and he was dehydrated. The DON stated Resident #1 had a
peg-tube that was used for flushing and for administering his Keppra medication since he did not like the
taste of it. The DON stated his peg-tube was flushed four times a day to make sure he was well-hydrated.
The DON stated Resident #1 was also on two cans of Glucerna a day and he ate three meals a day with no
restrictions and could drink by mouth. The DON stated she started employment at the facility in April 2024
and found that one of the previous DONs discontinued Resident #1's Lantus and insulin because his blood
sugars were in the 80s and 90s. Since then, the DON stated the facility was doing a CMP, CMP and A1C
every six months for Resident #1 and the values were normal. She stated the facility checked labs for
Resident #1 in September 2024 and high sugar was a little high, but that was drawn right after his meal.
Doctor said all previous readings were good on that sugar, the doctor did not give new orders. After that he
was well. The DON stated on weekend after that, Resident #1 was a little tired on a Friday night and by that
next Sunday the nurse reported he looked very lethargic, So we sent him out. At the hospital, the DON
stated his blood sugar was high but nothing had triggered the facility to place him back on insulin prior to
that. She stated Resident #1's family was upset that the facility was not checking and monitoring Resident
#1's blood sugar. The DON stated she explained to the family that Resident #1's diabetes was diet
controlled and he was not showing signs or symptoms of hyperglycemia and was coming to the dining
room every day and eating everything. She said Resident #1's weight was stable plus the nurses were
flushing his peg tube four times a day. After the hospitalization, the Administrator and DON stated they had
a care plan meeting with Resident #1's RP and the doctor covering for Resident #1's attending ([NAME]) for
about two hours. The meeting concerned whether or not the RP wanted to re-admit Resident #1 back to the
facility's care. The DON stated there was an NP or PA at the hospital who had told Resident #1's RP that he
should have not been in the condition he was in, although he had been here without many real issues for
the past two years. The Administrator state that he explained to the RP about labs and how doctors
prescribed medications to residents based on those lab values. The Administrator stated, I think she was off
guard that he wasn't taking insulin. He stated at a second meeting, the Ombudsman was present and told
the facility they needed to look at how frequently CNAs correctly observed and documented his meal intake
because she felt it was not accurate. The DON stated a week before Resident #1 was sent to the ER, they
started noticing he was being picky and they changed his diet to finger foods and he was doing okay with it.
The Administrator stated Resident #1 was in the ICU for a while, But our system worked; we identified, sent
him out and they saved his life. Since his discharge from the hospital back to the facility, the DON stated
Resident #1 now has a continuous order for g-tube feedings during the night, 150 cc of water flushes every
four hours, blood glucose checks three times daily and an order for Lantus sliding scale plus Lantus 20
units every morning. The DON stated that Resident #1 was not interviewable and only responded in the
affirmative or negative, but not much.
A follow up interview with the DON on 10/23/24 at 12:38 PM revealed she checked Resident #1's clinical
records and discontinued orders to see when Resident #1 took his last dose of insulin at the facility. She
stated the last time she saw that he got insulin was the month of February 2022 and blood sugar checks
were stopped at some point in 2022 but she did not know why. The DON stated there were no routine blood
sugar checks for Resident #1 at the facility since then but his CBC, CMP and A1C were routinely checked.
The DON stated an A1C labs gave a three month look back at a

resident's average blood glucose and the last one completed was in February 2024. The DON stated, We
are a little late on getting the most recent one done. There is no time-frame but is the labs are in good
range or a little high, they do them every six months. More than 10 (value) for an A1C and it is critical then
we do the A1C every three months. She stated Resident #1 would have been due for an A1C in August
2024. She said a BMP was done in September 2024 which showed Resident #1 had a blood glucose
reading of 334 but it was right after breakfast so Physician B told the DON to look at the time of the blood
drawn and did not want another one drawn. The DON stated that diabetic residents should have an A1C lab
completed every six months and that is was not a policy, it was standard practice. She stated she had not
read the facility's policy on Diabetic Management since she started employment as the DON. In hindsight,
the DON stated, If it were me, I would have questioned the blood sugar of over 300 and maybe rechecked it
if I were the doctor, but he said it was due to the resident eating breakfast. The DON could not say if anyone
at the facility had re-checked Resident #1's blood sugar once the abnormal lab came back.
An interview with Physician B on 10/23/24 at 1:33 PM, revealed the last time he saw Resident #1 was when
he came back from the hospital in October 2024. Physician B stated, I don't recall seeing him in 2024.
Usually we see the long term once a year and a NP who sees him once a month, I may not have seen him
this year at all. With abnormal labs, Physician B stated sometimes the facility would text him right away,
routine labs were supposed to be faxed to his office number and put in PCC and he could review the lab for
the skilled residents when he came to the facility twice a week. For long-term residents, like Resident #1,
the NP mostly ordered labs and were supposed to review then and if there was any action needing to be
taken, they will. He stated Resident #1 was long-term, so NP C would have been the one notified of his
abnormal lab, not him. Phy B stated he was not notified about Resident #1's abnormal blood sugar of 334
on 09/17/24 until after the resident had a change of condition and was sent out to the hospital and the RP
voiced concerns about Resident #1's care. Phy B stated for diabetic residents, if they were not prescribed
insulin, then the recommendation was for them to have a A1C every six months, even if they were stable
with their routine blood sugar checks. He stated that monitoring guideline was from the geriatric college of
medicine and the blood glucose values for residents in a long-term care facility were done twice a year. Phy
B stated he had gone back and reviewed Resident #1's chart after his ER visit and saw that he was on
insulin in 2022 and at that time his sugars were running normal but it appeared that someone at that time
decided to discontinue his insulin. Phy B stated that was not unusual because, We all know in diabetic
patients they have a honeymoon period where their blood sugars are okay and we continue to monitor and
take them off treatment because we don't want low blood sugars in nursing home patients because a lot of
them can't communicate and tell us symptoms like [Resident #1]. Phy B stated once a resident's blood
sugar went low and they are in a hypoglycemic state, it could be detrimental for their health, That is why we
let their blood sugars run a little higher, even if the A1C is a little higher. So I think it wasn't unusual to do
that and two years he did not have any problems. Phy B speculated that he felt Resident #1 had an
infection which he felt was a common reason of putting a person into DKA-diabetic ketoacidosis, and
Resident #1 also had a wound at the hospital which could have contributed to it as well. Phy B then stated,
The only thing I identified to be honest with you, could still be the same outcome on our end, I am the first
one to take blame, there wasn't oversight on our part that the A1C was not done in 6 months, it had last
been done in February and it should have been done in August so we take blame for that. I told the [RP]
that as well because it happened on my watch and I was supposed to oversee his care. It is a problem and
I have asked the DON to implement a protocol for A1C every six months. So now, since this happened, we

have asked the facility on their end to put an automatic protocol where they do them every six monthshemoglobin A1C. Phy B said the only thing he saw missing in Resident #1's care was that the A1C was not
completed. He said that going in DKA was possible even in a fully controlled diabetic resident in a few days
to a few hours, however, it was an unfortunate thing that happened and he took full responsibility for the lab
not being done, it was a mistake and the facility was rectifying the problem. Phy B said that it would be hard
to say if he would have acted on Resident #1's blood glucose level being over 300, he would have told the
facility to check it a few more times to make sure it was not trending up. If he was trending up, then he
would no longer be in the honeymoon period with his diabetes and they would need to start treating him for
it. Phy B said all labs were supposed to be reviewed by himself or the NP C and for Resident #1, NP C
should have reviewed them at that time. Additionally, the change of status should have been reported to
him or the NP C because that was important information. If the facility did not notify him, then there is no
way for him to know if the resident was having a change in condition.
An interview with ADON E on 10/23/24 at 2:06 PM revealed nothing dramatic had occurred with Resident
#1 prior to him being sent to the hospital. ADON E stated Resident #1 was not on insulin and his A1C lab
should be done every six months if there was no order for it. If there was a change in condition, then the
facility needed to notify the doctor and get an order immediately and monitor to see if more frequent labs
needed to be done. ADON E stated Resident #1's elevated CMP lab on 09/16/24 may have been higher
than expected depending on if the lab tech was able ot get a fasting lab or if it was glucose random. She
stated with an abnormal glucose reading over 300, the NP or MD was present in the facility each week so
the charge nurse should have relayed the abnormal lab value to them and they could have given an order.
The nurse then would need to document what the plan was, that there was an abnormal lab, even if no new
orders. ADON E stated the reason to notify the doctor was to see if the resident needed insulin or oral
medication for hyperglycemia. ADON E stated when a resident's lab was abnormal for high blood glucose,
she would expect the charge nurse to assess the resident to see if they were eating or drinking well and
doing their regular activities and also alert the doctor and communicate to them the results. If the resident
was sweating, lethargic, then the nurse should know there was something going on and needed to check
the resident's vitals and maybe their blood sugar. She stated, Maybe they didn't check his glucose because
he had been stable. ADON E stated a resident with hypoglycemia would present with lethargy, sweating
and confused. She said Resident #2 was not showing any of those signs when she rounded during the
mornings and no one had reported anything to her.
An interview with NP C on 10/23/24 at 2:25 PM revealed she was made aware of Resident #1's change in
condition when he came back from the hospital and the facility had informed her that there were going to be
new protocols that would be implemented. NP C stated the issues had to do with some lack of oversight on
the facility and her/Phy B's end like Resident #1 could have had an A1C a little sooner. NP C stated she
saw Resident #1 occasionally and he did not seem off to her and she had not heard from the facility that he
was declining. NP C stated, In the future, we need to have a protocol in place for diabetics. I don't believe I
was made aware of his high blood sugar, that would have prompted me for further testing . I would have
done accuchecks, A1C and a repeat BMP. NP C stated Resident #1 had not been administered insulin even
though he was diabetic because he was previously diet-managed, so he was being monitored through
routine A1Cs. NP C stated, We are fixing that, there should have been a routine order. NP C stated the
failure was the breakdown in communication and an oversight on their part. She said if she had heard
Resident #1 was not drinking or eating, she would also check for UTI, That is my standard .this one was
very unfortunate for [Resident #1], it's not okay and I hope some of those

An observation and attempted interview of Resident #1 on 10/24/24 at 9:45 AM revealed he was lying in
bed, the fingers on his left hand were contracted, his right leg was contracted and he was not able to
articulate words verbally nor was his communication device charged and functional. There was a strong
smell of feces coming from him. At the time of the observation, Resident #1 could not answer questions
related to his diabetic care and change of condition that sent him to the hospital. He tugged on his bed
sheet and motioned to some dark brown spots on it. When asked if he made a bowel movement and
needed to be changed he nodded his head yes. After that, Resident #1 did not respond to any more
questions.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview with the DOR on 10/24/24 at 12:29 PM revealed Resident #1 had expressive aphasia and
could only speak a few words. The DOR did not specify a specific time/date, but stated before Resident #1
was sent to the hospital, the staff had come to her within a week or so prior saying that he was not wanting
to eat, he complained about the food and he was sending it back to the kitchen. The DOR stated, So we
adjusted for finger foods for better compliance. The DOR said Resident #1 came back from the hospital in
October 2024 and was picked up for speech services.
Record review of a Dietary Note dated 9/24/24 reflected, Resident was observed in the dining room during
lunch time that he was not properly eating regular texture, after speaking to the resident and ST he agreed
to change him to finger foods.
An interview with LVN D on 10/25/24 at 12:43 PM revealed she worked with Resident #1 two days before
he was sent to the hospital and to her, he did not seem different and had gone to the dining room to eat,
picked at his lunch, but that was not unusual. She said she gave him supplement shakes and often had a
hard time to get him to drink water. LVN D stated she knew Resident #1 had an BMP lab ordered, but was
not aware of the results. She stated typically when a lab came back abnormal or critical, the nurse receiving
the lab results was supposed to document it in a nursing note and put it in the 24-horu communication log.
Then the nurse was supposed to report the results to the NP or MD and they were supposed to provide
interventions or a new plan to start that resident on insulin. LVN D stated she did not know why Resident #1
was not prescribed insulin anymore. She said he had not been on insulin since she came back to work for
the facility in December 2023 and she said maybe the facility thought it was controlled. With diabetics, LVN
D said of they were not on insulin and not on weekly checks to make sure their blood sugars are stable,
then they were supposed to get A1Csevery six months. She stated the MD was supposed to write that
routine order into the online e-chart system and then it would generate on the MAR each time it was due.
LVN D stated again she did not see much of a change in Resident #1 but could see how he became
dehydrated since because it was hard for them to get him to drink water, but his blood sugars going up, I
was not expecting that.
An interview with CNA F on 10/25/24 at 1:35 PM revealed she was Resident #1's CNA on the morning
shifts and was present at the facility when he was sent out to the hospital. CNA F stated that whole week
Resident #1 had not been feeling good, he was not eating. She took care of him every day and said he did
not communicate, he did not eat, he did not want to drink water. On Saturday 10/05/24, he was still not
feeling well, not eating, just lying in bed and was restless. CNA F told the charge nurse (RN A) and she
looked at him but that was when CNA F was leaving for the end of her shift. CNA F stated she thought the
facility would send him out to the hospital. But when she came in the next morning, Sunday 10/06/24, she
went to the nurses' station and asked the overnight nurse how Resident #1 was doing because CNA F
assumed he had been sent out the day prior based on his deteriorating condition. The overnight nurse said
he was fine. So CNA F walked to Resident #1's room and the roommate

at that time told her that Resident #1 had been making barking sounds all night long. When CNA F saw
Resident #1, he was making squeaking sounds, which was unusual. He was sweating and throwing the
blankets off of him. She said he was usually cold natured, so that was different for him as well. She said
Resident #1 could not keep his eyes open when she tried to rouse him and talk to him. She was trying to
ask him basic questions but he was not responding and was making a hiccupping sound. CNA F said the
roommate told her no one came to check on Resident #1 throughout the night prior. CNA F then went to the
overnight nurse again and told her that Resident #1 did not look right. The overnight nurse went to check on
him along with some other weekend nurse on the hall. They checked Resident #1's oxygen saturation levels
which were at 78. He was given oxygen and the nurses re-checked his O2 and it was still down at 78. It
eventually started to come back up but he was still making the strange noise and then started throwing up
watery yellowish bile, Like someone who had not eaten for a long time. CNA F said the morning nurse, RN
A (same nurse as day before) came onto the floor and checked on him. CNA F said she told RN A the way
Resident #1 was looking, he needed to be sent out. RN A then told CNA F she was going to send him out
and contacted the DON and said Resident #1 was not looking good. The DON then told RN A, per CNA F,
no, do not send him out because the facility's census was low, so RN A did not send him out to the hospital.
Instead, CNA F said RN A said she would get an order for an IV and she did, but she did not know how to
insert the line. CNA F said she was present and RN A did not even attempt to insert the IV. She told CNA F
that she did not know how to do it, which part of the arm to access and that she could not find a vein. CNA
F stated, I am asking her you are not going to send him out? And she says I need to try the IV with water,
then that was when she said she didn't know how. So then, she didn't do nothing. CNA F stated RN A tried
to check his blood sugar, then told CNA F that Resident #1 might not even be a diabetic. She stated she
was present when RN A and another nurse were in the room trying to get a blood sugar reading when the
other nurse asked RN A is Resident #1 was a diabetic and RN A responded no. CNA F stated she never
heard them say a blood sugar out loud, so she did not think they were able to get one. CNA F then stated
later on, It was so frustrating because he was weak and now it's noon and he can't hold up his arms or
legs. Around noon, CNA F said she was shaking Resident #1, his eyes would not open and he was
breathing fast. She said told the nurses if his RP found out Resident #1 was in that condition, she was
going to be very upset. CNA F stated, I said you got to send him out! She said at this point, the 2-10pm
CNAs were coming into work and one of them tells her, wow, he is still like this? [TRUNCATED]
