that Resident # 104 had limited range of motion with impairment to both sides on lower extremities.
Resident # 104 was dependent on staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower and lower body
dressing. Resident # 104 depended on personnel for rolling to both sides while on bed, sit to lying and lying
to sitting on side of the bed, sit to stand, transferring from bed to wheelchair and toilet transfer.
Record review of Resident #104's care plan dated 5/23/25 revealed Resident # 104 was at fall risk related
to impaired mobility secondary to weakness and debility. The care plan indicated interventions by always
keeping the call light within reach, to post signs on the residents' room with call don't fall to remind the
resident to call for assistance.
In an observation and interview on 06/17/25 at 10:17 AM, the resident #104 was lying in bed and greeted
the surveyor. The call light was on the floor to the resident's right side and about three feet away from the
bed. The resident stated he had not realized the call light had fallen to the floor and attempted to look at it,
and stated he could not see it. The resident said that whenever the call light fell to the floor, he needed to
wait until a staff member made rounds and went into his room and then he would request assistance if
needed. The resident said if there was an emergency and the call light was not within reach; he would need
to wait until a staff member went to check on him or he would try to shout for help and hope someone
heard him. The resident said he was not able to get on his feet.

to call for assistance if they needed something. CNA A said the call light needed to be within a resident's
reach and if it was not accessible for a resident, there was a risk of them trying to get up to look for it which
could pose a fall risk in those residents who had been diagnosed for high fall risk, and for the residents not
to get the help they needed on time. CNA A stated that staff made rounds every two hours to check on
residents and to ensure the call lights were accessible for them.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 02:07 PM with LVN B, stated the residents needed to have access to a call
light and it had to always be within reach. LVN B explained if a resident was not able to reach for their call
light, it could potentially result in them not being helped in a timely manner which could result in several
issues such as leaving a resident soiled or not responding to a serious emergency.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needed
respiratory care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 (Resident
#108) of 9 residents observed for oxygen management.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to post an Oxygen sign indicating Resident # 108 received oxygen.
This failure could place residents on oxygen therapy at risk of receiving incorrect or inadequate oxygen
support and decline in health and at risk of fire hazards by not posting oxygen signs outside the residents'
rooms.
Findings Include:
Record review of Resident #108's Face sheet dated 6/18/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an
admission date of 6/3/25.
Record review of Resident #108's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed BIMS score of 13 indicating the
resident was cognitively intact. The MDS revealed the resident was dependent on staff for toileting and
personal hygiene, and required maximal assistance with showering, upper and lower body dressing and
putting on or taking off footwear. Section I for active diagnosis in the MDS revealed Resident # 108 had
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or chronic lung disease. Section J for health conditions
revealed the resident had shortness of breath or trouble breathing with exertion and while lying flat. Section
O for special treatment, procedures and programs revealed the resident was receiving oxygen therapy.
Record review of Resident #108's care plan dated 6/18/25 revealed the resident used supplemental oxygen
related to poor oxygen absorption and called for intervention to monitor for respiratory distress and to report
to physician respirations, oximetry, increased heart rate, restlessness and headaches. The care plan stated
Resident #108 had oxygen via nasal prongs at two liters continuously.
In an observation and interview on 06/18/25 at 10:31 AM, the resident was in her room lying on her bed.
She was wearing a nasal canula and was receiving oxygen. The resident stated she was in oxygen therapy,
and she used her oxygen while she was inside her room. There was no oxygen sign posted outside the
residents' room.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 01:46 PM with CNA A, she stated that when a resident was receiving oxygen
in their room, an oxygen sign had to be posted by the door. This sign served to alert other staff to check
oxygen levels and to warn visitors or anyone entering the facility about the potential fire hazard. She
explained that failing to post a sign could lead to hazards and accidents for residents.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 02:07 PM with LVN B, she explained one of the reasons for posting an
oxygen sign outside the resident's rooms was to alert anyone who went into the facility there was oxygen in
use inside the room and to avoid potential fire hazards. LVN B stated the potential negative outcome for not
posting an oxygen sign could result in fire hazards of residents not being checked for oxygen levels.

In an interview on 06/18/25 at 03:05 PM with the DON, she stated all rooms who had oxygen in use inside
in the facility were required to have an oxygen in use sign posted outside the door. The DON explained that
a potential outcome for not posting a warning sign for oxygen in use outside a residents' room was that a
resident could go without oxygen, and that a fire hazard and potential explosion existed. She also noted
that ADONs were responsible for checking upstairs for oxygen signs, and it was an expectation for CNAs or
LVNs to report to her or the administrator if they noted a room was missing an oxygen sign.
In an interview on 06/19/25 at 11:42 AM with the Administrator, she expressed that oxygen signs were
posted to notify staff and visitors of oxygen use in a room or by a resident. The administrator highlighted
that there was a fire hazard if oxygen was in use without a sign posted outside the rooms and someone
went in there and lit a spark. The Administrator stated there could also be a risk if a resident went
unchecked for oxygen levels and they were in oxygen therapy.
In an interview with the Administrator and the DON on 6/19/25 at 3:51 PM, it was revealed that the facility
did not have a policy stating oxygen signs needed to be posted outside the rooms of those residents who
received oxygen.

resident and attempt to prompt them to take medication. If that did not work, then the refusal would have to
be documented in a progress note and it would be reported to the doctor and to the ADON or DON. RN F
stated nurses were responsible for monitoring medications aides administered medications or that
medications were administered per physician's orders.
In an interview on 6/19/2025 at 5:20pm with LVN B revealed that med aides administer the majority of
medications. She stated that when there was a medication refusal, the medication aide was to let nurse
know and then nurse would go prompt the resident to take the medication, if that did not work, then it would

Record Review of Resident #155's admission record dated 6/19/2025 revealed a [AGE] year old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Record Review of Resident #155's history and physical dated 06/10/2025 revealed diagnosis of
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia(high cholesterol) and known left bundle
branch block (a heart condition where the electrical signal that control the hearts rhythm is delayed or
blocked).
Record Review of Resident #155's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed no BIMS score.
Record Review of Resident # 155's care plan dated 06/11/2025 revealed resident had a potential for skin
breakdown requiring barrier cream to be applied to affected area.
Record Review of Resident #155's physicians orders dated 06/11/2025 revealed Barrier cream to
coccyx/buttock/peri area/ redden area for prevention every and as needed every shift.
In an observation and interview on 06/17/25 at 9:30 am revealed, a clear plastic measuring cup with an
unknown pink cream like ointment was sitting on a nightstand in Resident #155's room. The resident did not
know what the ointment was or what it was used for. The Residents family member stated that it had been
sitting there for days, and he did not know what it was used for either.
In an observation and interview on 06/17/25 at 10:43 AM, resident #3 was observed sitting in her bed.
There was a clear measuring cup containing a white substance and a tongue depressor at her bedside on
her nightstand. The resident stated that the substance was a medication pomade applied by staff to her
coccyx area to help a wound heal. She believed staff had applied the medication earlier that morning and
forgotten to dispose of it. The resident expressed that the cup should have been discarded after use
because any remaining pomade would be unusable.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 01:38 PM with CNA A, stated that a nurse or an LVN would give the CNAs
the cup with the cream for them to apply it to the resident. CNA A said if there was medication left on the
cup, it needed to be disposed of, instead of leaving it on the residents' nightstand. CNA A explained that
leaving the cream exposed could potentially contaminate the medication if dust or lint got into the cup. CNA
A stated if the cream was to be reused and applied to the resident after being exposed and potentially
contaminated, the wound on the resident could get infected, potentially making the resident sick.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 02:07 PM with LVN B, stated the orders with cream barriers or medications
were to apply the medication and then dispose of any residual cream. LVN B said the cream in the
container was zinc oxide and it was to be applied with the tongue depressor in the area ordered by the
wound nurse and any residual medication should be disposed of. She stated the potential outcome was for
the cream to be contaminated because it was left exposed to the air and if it was applied to a resident in a
wound area, it could have a negative reaction and the wound could worsen and infected. She also
explained if there was a possibility for a confused resident to ingest the cream by leaving it unattended at
bedside, which would make them sick.
In an interview on 06/19/2025 at 11:30am with RN D, revealed that medications were not to be left at
bedside unattended for any resident. She stated that leaving medication unattended could potentially
expose the resident to misuse of the medication such as medication not being applied to the indicated
area. She stated that it was an infection control issue because it was exposed to air. She

could not recall the last training done about not leaving medications at bedside. She stated that it was the
responsibility of the nurses to ensure that medications were not left at the bedside.
In an interview on 06/19/2025 at 11:55am with CNA E, revealed that medications should not be left at
bedside. She stated that as a CNA, the nurse would give them the cup with ointment that needed to be
applied to the resident during a brief change or after a shower. She stated that after applying the ointment,
the CNA would dispose of the cup immediately. Ointments should not have been left at bedside because
residents could ingest it or apply it to contraindicated areas of the body. She could not recall the last training
over not leaving medications at bedside. She stated that it was all staffs' responsibility to ensure that there
weren't any medications left in the reach of residents.
In an interview on 06/19/25 at 02:48PM with the Wound Care Nurse revealed that medications were not to
be left unattended at bedside. She stated medication ointments were to be administered to the resident per
physician's orders and disposed of per policy. She stated the risks of medications left unattended included
residents misusing the medication. The Wound Care Nurse stated all nurses and medication aides were
responsible for ensuring to administer all medications per physician's orders and to dispose of them
properly.
In an interview on 06/18/25 at 03:05 PM with the DON, she stated that the cream left on the residents'
nightstand was zinc oxide which was a barrier cream to prevent rash and to promote wound healing. DON
said the cream that was leftover in the cup should have been discarded immediately once the medication
had been applied to the resident for infection prevention and control. The DON said there was a risk of
infection for a resident if staff were to re-use the crem and it had been contaminated by being left exposed
to the air. She explained that a potential outcome could be the wound would get infected, and the residents'
health could deteriorate as a result of the infected wound. The DON concluded by saying that any
medication that was open and administered to a resident needed to be discarded immediately and not be
left by bedside.
In an interview with the Administrator and the DON on 6/19/25 at 3:51 PM, it was revealed that the facility
did not have a policy including information on procedures for supervising medications and the steps for
disposing of a medication after it had been supervised.
