Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every
12 months.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to make a comprehensive assessment of each residents'
needs, strengths, goals, life history, and preferences within 14 calendar days after admission for 1 of 13
residents (Resident #10) reviewed for accuracy of assessments.
The facility failed to complete Resident #10's admission MDS assessment, with an ARD of 03/11/2025,
within 14 days of admission.
This failure could place residents at risk of not having their needs met.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 06/11/2025 indicated Resident #10 was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side (weakness and paralysis affecting the left side after a
stroke) and dementia (loss of memory, language, problem solving and other thinking abilities that were
severe enough to interfere with daily life).
Record review of Resident #10's comprehensive MDS assessment with an ARD of 03/11/2025 indicated in
Section A0310 it was an admission assessment (required by day 14). The MDS assessment for Resident
#10 indicated in Section A1600 an entry date of 03/04/2025. The MDS assessment in Section Z0500B was
signed completed on 03/25/2025, which indicated the MDS assessment for Resident #10 was completed 8
days late.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 10:21 AM, the MDS Coordinator said Resident #10's MDS
assessment was signed late. The MDS Coordinator said she did not know why it was not signed completed.
The MDS Coordinator said the DON had to sign them complete because she was not an RN. She said she
tried to e-mail the DON and let her know which MDS assessments she needed to sign. The MDS
Coordinator said she had two different buildings she was at, and she was only at the facility two days a
week. When she was at the facility, she checked to ensure the MDS assessments were signed by the DON.
The MDS Coordinator said she did not think the MDS assessments being signed late could really cause
anything.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 1:55 PM, the DON said she tried to check every morning to see if
there were any MDS assessments she needed to sign. The DON said sometimes they were things going on
in the facility, and she was unable to check daily. The DON said sometimes the MDS Coordinator emailed
her to tell her she needed to sign MDS assessments. The DON said she was not aware of the

required timeframes for the MDS assessments. The DON said she did not remember signing anything late,
and she did not know why Resident #10's admission MDS assessment was signed late. The DON said it
was important for the MDS assessments to be completed within the required timeframes because it was
important for the care the residents were provided to be captured in a timely manner.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 2:58 PM, the Administrator said he expected that the MDS
assessments were completed and signed on time. The Administrator said the MDS Coordinator and the RN
signing the MDS assessments should be making sure they were signed timely. The Administrator said it
was important for the MDS assessments to be completed per the required timeframes because it could
affect their payment. The Administrator said he was not aware how this could directly affect the residents
because he was not clinical.
Record review of the facility's undated policy titled, Resident Assessment Policy, indicated, Completing the
MDS 1) A registered nurse will coordinate each assessment with the appropriate participation of health
professionals, and shall sign to certify the completion of each assessment in item Z0500. Each resident will
be scheduled for an assessment period in which data will be gathered about the resident; with the
frequency and type of assessment being determined according to the guidelines in the RAI Manual.
Comprehensive assessments will be completed not less often than once every 12 months (366 days),
within 14 calendar days after admission.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment for 2 of 2 residents (Residents #23 and Resident #24) reviewed for care plans.
1.The facility failed to ensure Resident #23 had her fall mat in place while in bed.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #24's care plan included the use of the antidepressant medication.
These failures could have placed residents at risk for not having their needs met.
Findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #23's face sheet dated 06/10/25 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female
who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses dementia, chronic kidney disease, anxiety, and
high blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #23's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated she understood others and was
able to make herself understood. The MDS also indicated she had a BIMS score of 10 which meant she
had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS also indicated she required limited assistance with transfers,
extensive assistance with dressing, toileting, and showering, and setup for eating. The MDS also indicated
Resident #23 had had a fall with no injury.
Record review of Resident #23's care plan dated 02/10/25 indicated she had an actual fall on 02/07/25
attempting to transfer herself with interventions in place to have a floor mat in use when she was in bed.
During an observation on 06/09/25 at 10:25 AM Resident #23 was laying in her bed and the fall mat was
folded by the chair at the end of the bed.
During an observation on 06/10/25 at 08:26 AM Resident #23 was in bed and had her fall mat folded
beside the chair.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 01:04 PM CNA said she did not usually work on that side of the facility
where Resident #23 resided but she had placed the fall mat down for Resident #23 before. She said
Resident #23 had been known to move the mat when she transferred herself but was unsure of why the fall
mat had not been in use.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 01:14 PM the DON said she expected the fall mat to be on the floor
beside Resident #23's bed while she was in bed. The DON said Resident #23 had moved the floor mat in
the past and she got upset at the staff when they placed the floor mat and made them remove the fall mat.
The DON said not having the fall mat in place placed a risk for Resident #23 to have an injury if she had a
fall from the bed.

During an interview on 06/11/25 at 02:11 PM The Administrator said he expected Resident #23's fall mat to
be on the floor beside her bed and if it was not then there should have been documentation for the
reasoning of why it was not in place. The Administrator said all nursing staff were responsible for ensuring
the fall mat was in place. The Administrator said the failure placed Resident #23 at risk for injury from falls.
2.Record review of Resident #24's face sheet dated 06/11/25 indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male who
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses dementia, retention of urine, heart failure, and high
blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #24's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated he made himself understood and
was able to understand others. The MDS also indicated he had a BIMS score of 15 which meant he was
cognitively intact. The MDS also indicated Resident #24 had taken antidepressant medication while in the
facility.
Record review of Resident #24's care plan dated 04/04/25 did not indicate Resident #24 was taking an
antidepressant medication.
Record review of Resident #24's order summary report dated 06/11/25 indicated he had an order for:
Citalopram Hydrobromide oral tablet 10mg Give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for depression with a
start date of 04/10/25.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 01:17 PM the DON said Resident #24's care plan should have included
the resident was taking an antidepressant medication. The DON said the DON, ADON, and the MDS nurse
were all responsible for ensuring the resident care plans were completed with all diagnoses and
medications pertinent to each resident. The DON said the failure of the antidepressant not being on his
care plan placed a risk for staff not knowing Resident #24 had depression, the medication he was taking, or
if he had any triggers.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 02:13 PM The Administrator said he would expect the antidepressant to
be in Resident #24's care plan. He said all nursing staff were responsible for ensuring the care plans were
completed and accurate. The Administrator said the failure placed a risk for the staff not knowing Resident
#24 had depression and how to care for him.
Record review of the facility policy Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered revised December 2016

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure laboratory services were obtained to meet the
needs of 3 of 13 residents (Resident #2, Resident #29, and Resident #188) reviewed for laboratory
services.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to obtain Resident #2's CMP (lab test that provides an overall picture of your body's
chemical balance and metabolism, and can help diagnose, screen for, or monitor health conditions or
medication side effects) as ordered.
The facility failed to obtain Resident #29's CBC (used to monitor and diagnose medical conditions, check
the health of the immune system, and detect disorders including infections, anemia, and blood cancer) and
CMP as ordered.
The facility failed to obtain Resident #188's urinalysis (urine test that can help find problems that need
treatment, including infections or kidney problems, and can also detect serious diseases in the early
stages) as ordered.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving timely diagnoses, treatment, and services to
meet their needs.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #2's face sheet dated 06/11/2025 indicated she was an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cerebrovascular disease (condition that
affects blood flow to the brain), essential primary hypertension (high blood pressure), hypothyroidism
(condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones), and prediabetes (condition where
blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes).
Record review of the MDS assessment indicated Resident #2 was understood by others and understood
others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #2 had a BIMs score of 15, which indicated her cognition
was intact.
Record review of the Order Summary Report dated 06/11/2025 indicated Resident #2 had an order for a

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 06/10/2025 at 1:47 PM, RN A said Resident #188's urinalysis was an admission
order. RN A said the lab did not collect specimens over the weekend. RN A said Resident #188's urine
should have been collected and sent out on Monday 06/02/2025. RN A said she attempted to collect
Resident #188's urine on Monday but was unable to because she could not get him to use a urinal or sit on
the commode. RN A said an in and out catheter could be used to collect the urine, if the resident did not
refuse. RN A said she had not attempted an in and out catheter. RN A said she passed it on in report to
LVN C that she was not able to obtain the urine specimen for the urinalysis, and she did not know why it
was not collected. RN A said it was important for the urinalysis to be collected because the residents could
have an infection or bacteria that needed to be treated.
During an attempted phone interview on 06/10/2025 at 3:37 PM, LVN C did not answer the phone.
During an attempted phone interview on 06/11/2025 at 8:46 AM, LVN C did not answer the phone.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 11:44 AM, RN B said she admitted Resident #188 and she put the
order in for his urinalysis. RN B said she did not work the following days, and Resident #188's urine should
have been set out on Monday, 06/02/2025. RN B said when she returned to work on Wednesday,
06/04/2025, she was under the impression his urine had been collected because she was not told it
needed to be collected and sent out. RN B said if a lab is not collected it should be placed on the 24-hour
report until it was collected. RN B said it was important to collect labs so they could have a baseline and
know how to treat the residents.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 1:37 PM, the DON said Resident #2 and Resident #29's labs were
collected in January 2025. The DON said the labs were not drawn as ordered because she thought they
had been discontinued. The DON said they changed medical directors, and their new medical director only
wanted labs drawn yearly. The DON said the nurses should be ensuring the labs were drawn per the
doctor's orders. The DON said the ADON and herself monitored the nurses to ensure all labs were drawn.
The DON said she was not aware Resident #188's urinalysis was not completed after admission. The DON
said if the nurses were having difficulty collecting Resident #188's urine they should have put it on the
24-hour report to ensure it was collected and sent out promptly. The DON said it was important to collect
the residents' labs as ordered to ensure the residents did not have any abnormal labs or changes that they
needed to treat.
During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 2:26 PM, the ADON said in the mornings the DON and herself
conducted lab follow up with the charge nurses to ensure the labs were monitored. The ADON said
Resident #2 and Resident #29's orders were old labs that were not taken out when they changed medical
directors in March 2024. The ADON said this was why Resident #2 and Resident #29's labs were not
completed. The ADON said Resident #188 admitted late Friday and the lab did not go to the facility on the
weekends. The ADON said she was noticed by the charge nurse that she attempted to collect Resident
#188's urine on Monday, and he refused. The ADON said nothing else was reported to her, and she did not
know why it was not collected after that. The ADON said it was important for labs to be collected as ordered
to monitor the residents for infections, medication monitoring, and to monitor disease processes.

During an interview on 06/11/2025 at 2:57 PM, the Administrator said his expectations were for the labs to
be completed timely. The Administrator said the floor nurses who received the lab orders should relay to the

Provide or obtain laboratory tests/services when ordered and promptly tell the ordering practitioner of the
results.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to promptly notify and follow-up with the ordering physician
regarding laboratory results outside of clinical reference range for 1of 20 residents (Resident #25) reviewed
for laboratory services.
The facility failed to respond to Resident #25's physician when he questioned Resident #25's Keppra (used
to control seizures) dosage on 03/31/25.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving lab services as ordered and not managing
medications at a therapeutic level.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #25's face sheet fated 06/10/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cerebrovascular disease (stroke), seizures,
and dementia (memory loss).
Record review of Resident #25's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #25 was
usually understood and usually understood others. Resident #25 had a BIMS score of 9, which indicated
her cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #25 had received an
anticonvulsant medication within the last 7 days of the 7-day look back period.
Record review of Resident #25's comprehensive care plan revised 05/10/24, indicated Resident #25 had a
seizure disorder related to stroke. The care plan interventions indicated to give seizure medication as
ordered by the doctor, monitor labs, and report any subtherapeutic or toxic results to the medical director.
Record review of Resident #25's order summary report dated 06/10/25, indicated the following order:
Keppra level in the AM with an order start date of 03/27/25.
Keppra 100mg/ml give 10mls by mouth two times a day related to seizures with a start date of 05/17/25.
Record review of Resident #25's lab result report dated 3/28/25, indicated Resident #25's Keppra level was
57.10 and was above the therapeutic range of 6.00-46.00. The report was electronically signed on 03/31/25
by the medical director where he wrote What is her current Keppra dose.
Record review of the facility's 24-hour report dated 03/28/25, indicated Resident #25 was on skilled

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of the facility's 24-hour report dated 04/01/25, indicated Resident #25 had a new order to
change her vitamin D to 2000 units daily and increase the levothyroxine (medication used to treat thyroid
hormone deficiency) to 75mcg every morning. The report did not reveal any new orders regarding Resident
#25's Keppra.
Record review of Resident #25's progress notes dated 03/10/25- 06/11/25 did not reveal Resident #25's
Keppra lab result was addressed. The progress notes did not indicate Resident #25 had any seizures.
Record review of Resident #25's nursing MAR for the month of April 2025, indicated she received Keppra
100mg/ml 10 mls via her peg tube (tube inserted in the stomach for medications and nutrition) two times a
day. The MAR did not indicate any Keppra doses had been held or refused.
During an interview on 06/10/25 at 1:40 PM, the DON said no one ever responded to Resident #25's doctor
when he asked what her current Keppra dosage was. She said LVN D worked on 03/31/25 and was
responsible for following up on the labs. She said there was nothing charted in Resident #25's progress
notes to indicate the lab was addressed. She said if it was not charted it was not done. The DON said since
Resident #25's lab was not addressed she could have had a seizure. The DON said Resident #25 had not
had any seizures. She said all nurses were responsible for following up on the lab results. She said nurse
management discussed labs in the morning clinical meeting. The DON said somehow the ball was dropped
on Resident #25's Keppra level. She said she was unsure of how Resident #25's lab was missed. The DON
said Resident #25's Keppra lab was not written on the 24-hour report for follow up.
During an interview on 06/10/25 at 5:32 PM, LVN D said she was unable to recall if she worked on
03/31/25. LVN D said if there was a lab she needed to follow up it would have been written on the 24-hour
report. She said if it was not written on the 24 hour report she would not know if there was anything that
needed to be addressed. She said if it had been discussed in clinical then it would have been addressed
and charted. She said the nurse email was checked every shift for lab results and faxes. She said by not
responding to the doctor regarding her Keppra order placed Resident #25 at risk for having an adverse
reaction to an elevated Keppra level. She said Resident #25 could have had a seizure. She said any labs
awaiting a response from the doctor were attached to the 24-hour report.
During an interview on 06/11/24 at 12:45 PM, the Administrator said he expected the nurse to follow up
with labs immediately once they were received. He said he was not medical and did not know the risk of not
notifying the physician on Resident #25's Keppra dosage. He said the DON was responsible for ensuring all
labs were being followed up on.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate the
hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure quality of care for the
resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending physician, and
others participating in the provision of care for 1 of 2 residents (Residents #25) reviewed for hospice
services.
The facility failed to obtain Resident #25's most recent updated hospice plan of care and hospice nursing
visit notes.
This deficient practice could place residents who receive hospice services at risk of receiving inadequate
end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care and communication of resident needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #25's face sheet fated 06/10/25, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cerebrovascular disease (stroke), seizures
and dementia (memory loss).
Record review of Resident #25's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated Resident #25 was

DON said the most recent hospice documents should be at the facility so the facility was aware of any
changes to the plan of care that was done during the IDT meeting. She said Resident #25's case manager
was currently on vacation and unavailable for interview.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 12:23 PM, the DON said she expected the most recent hospice
documents to be updated and in the resident's hospice binder. She said the hospice office personnel and
the hospice nurses were responsible for ensuring the hospice documents were being brought to the facility.
She said failure to have Resident #25's most recent hospice documents placed the resident at risk for not
being aware of any changes the resident might have had.
