interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents receive treatment and care in
accordance with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan for 1
of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for quality of care. The facility failed to conduct a comprehensive
bowel elimination assessment and document 's bowel pattern in the electronic health record for 2 of 3 shifts
on 11/28/2025 and 2 of 3 shifts on 11/29/2025. This failure could place residents at risk for not receiving
bowel assessments leading to fecal impactions. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face
sheet, dated 12/03/2025, indicated she was a 72- year- old female, re-admitted [DATE], with diagnoses of
constipation (hard stool), anemia (reduced oxygen to body), dementia (decline in cognitive function,
(affecting memory, and thinking), pain, cognitive communication deficit (difficulty communicating). Record
review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 11/17/2025, indicated she was incontinent of bowel and at risk for
constipation. The listed goal was for Resident #1 not to experience constipation and have a normal bowel
pattern elimination. The listed intervention was to assess and document Resident #1 for usual bowel
movement history, describing her usual pattern, time of day, amount/ frequency, color, and consistency of
stool. RNs and LVNs to assess and RNs, LVNs, and CNAs to document findings. Record review of Resident
#1's Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], indicated she had a BIMS score of 4 indicating severe cognitive
impairment. Section GG- Functional Abilities, indicated Resident #1 was dependent on staff to meet her
urinary and bowel incontinent needs. Section H- Bladder and Bowel, indicated Resident #1 was always
incontinent of bowel. Record review of Resident #1's medication administration record, dated November
2025 indicated she received scheduled Acetaminophen- codeine (Opioid- pain medication) tablet 300-60
milligram by mouth four times a day and tizanidine (sedative/ hypnotic- muscle relaxant) tablet 2 milligram
by mouth two times a day. Record review of Resident #1's order summary, dated 12/02/2025, indicated she
had orders for the facility to monitor opioid side effects: In part- closely monitor for constipation every shift.
Record review of Resident #1's order summary, dated 12/02/2025, indicated she had orders for the facility
to monitor sedative/ hypnotic side effects: In part- observe closely for significant side effects of sedative/
hypnotic medication including constipation every shift. Record review of Resident #1's hospital notes dated
11/21/2025-11/24/2025 indicated she was admitted to the hospital with bradycardia (slow heart rate) and
received two units of blood due to low blood count. The hospital report indicated patient is having stool
impaction she received enema last night, but it did not help. Will consult surgery. Resident #1 had the fecal
impaction removed during a colonoscopy. Discharge diagnosis of fecal impaction, bradycardia. Record
review of Resident #1's assessments dated 11/28/2025-11/29/2025 indicated there was no nursing bowel
assessment initiated nor completed by an RN or LVN when she went without a bowel movement four days
after hospital discharge for fecal impaction, and bradycardia (slow heart rate). Record review of nursing
staff schedule and bowel elimination dated

constipation. Resident #1 did not return to the facility during investigation. During an interview with the
facility nurse practitioner on 12/02/2025 at 1:30 p.m., he said nursing should have done a bowel
assessment on Resident #1 when she had not had a bowel movement for two days due to her recent fecal
impaction that was surgically removed four days ago. He said he had not given the facility an order for a
two-day assessment. During an interview with the facilities physician on 12/02/2025 at 2:00 p.m., he said
Resident #1 was sent to the hospital due to a syncope episode and bradycardia. The hospital discovered
she was impacted with stool in her colon that the hospital removed. He said the nurses were responsible for
assessing, monitoring, documenting and reporting changes in Resident #1's bowel patterns. During an
interview with unit manager G on 12/02/2025 at 2:15 p.m., she said nurses were responsible for assessing,
monitoring, documenting and reporting changes in Resident #1's bowel patterns. She said the CNAs was
also responsible for documenting Resident #1's bowel patterns each day in the electronic medical records.
The unit manager G said she expects the nurses to assess Resident #1's bowel each shift to ensure no
impaction was forming due to and CNAs to follow Resident #1's care plan for her bowels. She said

11/28/2025-11/29/2025 nor document it in the electronic medical records. She said CNA D, CNA E, CNA F
failed to document if Resident #1 had a bowel movement on 11/28/2025-11/29/2025. During an interview
with the DON on 12/02/2025 at 2:45 p.m., she said a bowel assessment should have been completed and
documented by the LVN A, LVN B, RN C to ensure Resident #1 was not constipated. She said the CNA's
are expected to document if a resident had a bowel movement or not per shift and report it to their nurse.
She said it is her responsibility to ensure assessments were initiated and facility policy complied and follow
up with staff to ensure assignments are carried out. She said the CNA D, CNA E, and CNA F did not
document or report to their nurses whether Resident #1 had a bowel movement on their shift. She said if
the CNA did not document resident's bowel movements, then the nurse should have assessed Resident #1
to ensure she was not constipated due to her taking medications that had side effects of constipation. She
said when Resident #1 was re-admitted from the hospital the facility physician ordered docusate sodium
(stool softener, twice a day), glycolax powder (laxative), and milk of magnesium (laxative- as needed.)(The
DON said all staff had been in-serviced on expectations with bowel continence and incontinence on
06/18/2025. She said all staff had been in- serviced on assessments on 07/30/2025. She said nurses
physically assessing residents bowels and documenting the findings minimize the risk of fecal impaction to
residents. During an interview with the Administrator on 12/02/2025 at 3:05 p.m., he said the nurses were
responsible for assessing, monitoring, documenting and reporting changes in Resident #1's bowel patterns.

the 6:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. shift because she had not showed any symptoms of constipation. She said she
was aware that Resident #1 took medication that had side effects of constipation. LVN A said she did not
know CNA D did not document Resident #1's bowels for the shift in the electronic medical record. She said
she did not follow up with CNA D to ensure bowel pattern was documented on Resident #1 for the 6:00
a.m.-2;00 p.m. shift on 11/28/2025. She said she should have documented Resident #1's bowel pattern on
her shift since CNA did not. During an interview with CNA D on 12/03/2025 at 12:38 p.m., she said she did
not document Resident #1 bowel pattern in the electronic medical record on 11/28/2025 on the 6:00 a.m.2:00 p.m. shift because the computers were not working. She said she did not think to inform LVN A
because her nurse had experienced computer problems. During an interview with LVN B on 12/03/2025 at
12:45 p.m., she said she did not assess Resident #1 bowels on 11/28/2025 on the 10:00 p.m.- 6:00 a.m.
shift. She said she was aware that Resident #1 took two medications that had side effects of constipation.
LVN B said she was aware that Resident #1 had a fecal impaction that required surgery when she cared for
her four days after hospital discharge. She said she relied on the computer to alert her when Resident #1
had gone 3 days without a bowel movement. She said a staff member has to enter bowel movement data
for the computer system to alert them that a resident had gone 3 days without a bowel movement. She said
if residents do not inform her that they are constipated or show signs of constipation then she does not
assess/ touch the residents stomachs every day. She said it's the CNA's and the charge nurse's
responsibility to ensure residents bowel patterns are recorded. An interview with CNA E was attempted two
times by telephone (12/03/2025- 12:05 p.m., 12/03/2025- 12:38 p.m.- voicemail left.) Surveyor was unable
to speak with CNA E regarding the reason she did not document Resident #1 bowel pattern in her medical
records for 11/28/2025 on the 10:00 p.m.- 6:00 a.m. shift. An interview with CNA F was attempted
12/5/2025 at 1:20 p.m., the DON said CNA F does not have a working telephone. Surveyor was unable to
speak with CNA E regarding the reason she did not document Resident #1 bowel pattern in her medical
records for 11/29/2025 on the 2:00 p.m.- 10:00 p.m. shift. During an interview with RN C on 12/03/2025 at
1:20 p.m., she said she did not physically assess Resident #1's bowels on 11/29/2025 on the 2:00 p.m.10:00 p.m. shift because Resident #1 had not gone past three days without a bowel movement. She said
she was aware that Resident #1 took two medications that had side effects of constipation. She said she
was not aware that Resident #1 had orders to be monitored every shift for sedative/ hypnotic side effects
such as constipation. She said she did not ask Resident #1 about her bowels because the computer did not
flag or alert her that Resident #1 went without a bowel movement for three days or more. She said the
CNA's cannot assess residents bowels, the nurses must do so. RN C said she knew Resident #1 had a
fecal impaction removed surgically four days ago and was not aware of what was on her updated care plan
interventions said related to constipation. During an interview with the Regional Director of clinical services
on 12/03/205 at 1:45 p.m., she said the facility was unable to provide documentation showing a bowel
assessment was completed on 11/28/2025-11/29/2025.She said the nurses were responsible for assessing
Resident # 1's bowels and documenting their findings in the electronic medical records. She said she
expected the nursing staff to follow facility policy to ensure residents' needs were met. She said nurses
assessing resident's bowels and documenting the finds minimized the risk of fecal impaction. During an
interview with Resident #1's family member on 12/03/2025 at 2:00 p.m. he said Resident #1 was impacted
with stool in her colon and required surgery to remove the hard stool. Resident #1's family member stated,
her stool was the size of a 20-ounce tumbler. Resident #1's family member said he expected Resident #1 to
be checked for constipation every shift and as needed because she cannot verbalize her needs because of
her advanced dementia. Record review of facility policy
