status for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #37) reviewed for assessments:
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #37's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 05/17/2025, did not include a diagnosis of Anxiety.
This failure could place residents at risk for inadequate care due to inaccurate assessments.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #37's electronic face sheet dated 07/09/2025 reflected a [AGE] year-old female
who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: Unspecified Dementia, Anxiety
Disorder, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Muscle Weakness, Hypertension (high blood pressure), and Major
Depressive Disorder.

the MDS assessments for the facility. She confirmed, Resident #37 was receiving Buspirone 10 mg for
Anxiety. The MDS nurse added that the diagnosis of Anxiety should have been included on the MDS
assessment for Resident #37 and was not included as an oversight. She stated there was no system in
place that oversees that they were accurately completed. The MDS nurse stated that the MDS assessment
accuracy was important on how the resident receives the care that they need and to form a plan of care.

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, interview, and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights, that included measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial need that
were identified in the comprehensive assessment for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #59) reviewed for
comprehensive person-centered care plans. 1.The facility failed to ensure Resident #59's care plan had the
correct interventions for her vision impairment. This failure could place residents at risk of not being
provided with the necessary care or services and not having personalized plans developed to address their
specific needs. The Findings include: Record review of Resident #59's face sheet dated 07/09/25 reflected
an [AGE] year-old female with an admit date of 10/03/23 and an original admission date of 01/18/23. Her
relevant diagnoses included dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily
functioning), peripheral vascular disease (a circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce
blood flow to the limbs), and need for assistance with personal care. Record review of Resident #59's
quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 99, which indicated her cognition was
severely impaired. MDS also indicated Resident #59's vision was moderately impaired (limited vision, not
able to see newspaper headlined but can identify objects), and no to corrective lenses. Record review of
Resident #59's quarterly care plan dated 06/05/25 reflected: Focus: [Resident #59] has impaired visual
function r/t decreased visual acuity (date initiated 01/31/23 and revised on 10/19/23). Goal: The resident will
have no indications of acute eye problems through the review date (date initiated 01/31/23 and revised on
03/17/25). Her interventions: in part included remind resident to wear glasses when up. Ensure resident is
wearing glasses which are clean, free from scratches and in good repair. Report any damage to
nurse/family. An observation on 07/07/25 at 3:30 p.m., Resident #59 was observed sitting in her wheelchair
in the dining room during activities and was not wearing glasses. Resident #59 smiled at this Surveyor as
she approached her, was able to make eye contact, but was not interviewable. An observation on 07/08/25
at 10:00 a.m., Resident #59 was observed in her room sitting in her wheelchair and was not wearing
glasses. An observation on 07/09/25 at 12:15 p.m., Resident #59 was observed in the dining room during
lunch and was not wearing glasses. In an interview on 07/09/25 at 12:30 p.m., CNA A said she had cared
for Resident #59 for over a year and had never seen her wear glasses. CNA A said she had not noticed
Resident #59 had vision problems. In an interview on 07/09/25 at 12:59 p.m., CNA B said she had cared for
Resident #59 for over a year and had never seen her wear glasses. CNA B said she had not noticed
Resident #59 had vision problems. In an interview on 07/09/25 at 1:10 p.m., LVN C said she was the
charge nurse for Resident #59. She said Resident #59 required extensive assistance for all ADLs but had
never seen her wear glasses. In an interview on 07/09/25 at 1:45 p.m., the MDS Nurse said it was her
responsibility to ensure a resident's MDS assessment was accurate. She said Resident #59 had impaired
visual function due to decreased visual acuity. She said whenever a resident suffered a visual impairment,
she would enter it on their MDS assessment. She said once the visual impairment had been entered on
their MDS, it would trigger a set of interventions for their care plan. The MDS Nurse said she had a
pre-selected option she could select that included: Announce self by name, call resident by name,
Anticipate and assist with all visual needs, Keep both eyes clean and free from matter, Monitor both eye for
redness, drainage, swelling, signs, and symptoms of infection, notify MD as needed,
Monitor/document/report PRN any s/sx of acute eye problems: change in ability to perform ADLs, decline in
mobility, sudden visual loss, pupils dilated, gray or milky

glasses when up. Ensure resident is wearing glasses which are clean free from scratches and in good
repair. Report any damage to nurse/family (date imitated 01/31/23).The MDS Nurse said she also had the
option to not select the pre-selected interventions and only click on those that applied to that resident. She
said Resident #59 did not wear glasses as noted in her MDS assessment. The MDS Nurse said I'm only
human, and by that she said she should have selected the interventions that only applied to Resident #59
and the pre-selected interventions. The MDS Nurse said there had been no negative outcome to Resident
#59 because her care plan indicated she wore glasses. In an interview and observation on 07/09/25 at 2:00
p.m., the DON said he was pretty sure Resident #59 wore glasses. He was observed as he reviewed
Resident #59's care plan and said the reason she wore glasses was because of her vision impairment. The
DON was observed as he called Resident #59's RP. While the DON had Resident #59's RP on speaker, he
asked her does your [Resident #59] wear glasses and she replied no, I don't think she has ever worn
glasses. The DON then asked her She was admitted with glasses, right? and RPs replied no, she was not.
After the telephone conversation with Resident #59 RP, the DON said, I know she wore glasses. This
Surveyor requested the facility's Care Plan policy several times, but the DON provided Care Plan Revision
Upon Status Change.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the
development and transmission of disease and infection for one (Resident #11) of three residents reviewed
for infection control, in that: LVN C failed to don personal protective equipment (PPE) before entering
Resident #11's room. Resident #11 was under enhanced barrier precautions per physician orders. This
failure could place residents who resided in the facility, as well as employees and visitors, at risk for
communicable diseases and infections. The findings included: Record review of Resident #11's face sheet
dated 07/08/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted into the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of
acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, left ankle and foot ( a bone infection caused by bacteria traveling
through the bloodstream to the bone), end stage renal failure (a severe medical condition where the
kidneys have permanently lost their ability to function), dependance on renal dialysis (when a person's
kidneys are no longer able to adequately remove waste and excess fluid from the blood, necessitating
regular dialysis treatments to sustain life), and severe sepsis with sepsis shock (a life-threatening condition
where the body's extreme response to an infection causes organ damage and dangerously low blood
pressure). Record review of Resident #11's Physician Orders dated 06/16/25 revealed Enhanced barrier
precautions every shift with high contact care activities. No end date to order noted. Record review of
Resident #11's baseline care plan dated 06/16/25 revealed requirement of enhanced barrier precautions to
reduce risk of Multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission. Resident 11 was at risk for infection as
evidence by pressure wound, cellulitis wound, current use of indwelling device: foley catheter, and dialysis
access permcath (a type of catheter used for long-term hemodialysis or other therapies requiring reliable
vascular access). Goal: Will be free from MDRO infection through the next review date. Interventions:
Enhanced barrier precautions. Staff to use gowns and gloves during high contact care activities. Record
review of Resident #11's baseline MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 15 which meant cognition
was intact. During an observation on 06/07/25 at 1:15 p.m., Resident #11 was on enhanced barrier
precautions. Outside Resident #11's room was an enhanced barrier sign, and personal protective
equipment placed inside plastic drawers with gowns available. Just inside Resident 11's room gloves were
available. LVN C entered Resident #11's room without donning a gown but did don gloves. LVN C then went
up to Resident 11's bedside. LVN C then proceeded to remove Resident 11's blanket to reveal foley
catheter tubing. LVN C touched foley drainage tubing and balloon inflation port to locate foley catheter size.
In an interview on 06/07/25 at 1:25 p.m. with LVN C, - LVN C stated when a resident was placed on
enhanced barrier precautions, staff needed to put on gloves and gown before they entered their room if
contact with the resident occurred. LVN C stated she got nervous and forgot to don gown. LVN C stated it
was important to wear personal protective equipment before they entered the room to prevent the spread of
infection to staff and other residents. In an interview on 07/09/25 at 5:02 p.m., the DON stated enhanced
barrier precautions were in place with high contact care residents. The DON stated enhanced barrier
precautions should be followed by all staff for infection control. The DON stated that in-services (training) on
infection control were the key to preventing this from happening again. Review of facility's policy titled
Infection Prevention and Control Program dated 5/13/2023 revealed; Isolation Protocol
(Transmission-Based Precautions):a. A resident with an infection or communicable disease shall be placed
