This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to report an allegation of verbal
abuse for two of 2 sampled residents (14, 49)
to the local law enforcement and licensing
agencies as indicated in the facility's policy and
procedures.
This deficient practice had the potential to
compromise the safety of Resident 14, and the
other residents, when Resident 49 verbally
threatened Resident 14 by saying "I'm going to
rip you apart and kill you."
Findings:
A review of Resident 14's "Record of
Admission" indicated the resident was admitted
to the facility on 5/20/19 with diagnoses
including end stage renal disease (condition
where kidneys are not functioning) and

This deficient practice had a potential to result
in inaccurate information coding regarding
Resident 13, 14, and 28's health status.
Findings:
a. During a tour of the facility on 9/23/19 at
08:14 a.m., Resident 13 was observed lying on
bed and stated she needed a Tylenol
(medication used to relieve pain) for a
headache. The resident was unable to state
how long she had the headache.
During an interview with Certified Nurse
Assistant (CNA 1) on 9/24/19 at 9:12 a.m.,
stated Resident 13 had dementia (a brain
condition characterized by a decline in
memory, language, problem-solving and other
thinking skills that affect a person's ability to
perform everyday activities) and was forgetful.
A review of Resident 13's admission records
(Facesheet) indicated the resident was
admitted on 12/21/17 with diagnoses not
limited to chronic kidney disease, diabetes
mellitus type 2 (abnormal blood sugar levels),
and Alzheimer's disease (a brain disease that
causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and
reasoning skills).
A review of Resident 13's physician order dated
7/25/19 indicated an order for Quetapine
fumarate ([Seroquel] medication used to treat
certain mental and mood conditions) 25
milligrams (mg) 1/2 tablet, twice daily for
dementia with psychosis manifested by yelling
and screaming.

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to apply sequential
compression devices ([SCD] sleeves that wrap
around the legs, inflate with air, intermittently
squeezing the legs, imitating walking to help
prevent blood clots) for one of 1 sampled
resident (204), as ordered by the physician.
This deficient practice had the potential to
cause Resident 204 from achieving the highest
practicable level of functioning and increased
the risks of developing blood clots.
Findings:
A review of the admission records indicated
Resident 204 was admitted on 9/12/2019 with
a diagnoses of but not limited to abnormalities
of gait, mobility and muscle weakness.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a
standardized assessment and care screening
tool, dated 9/19/2019, indicated Resident 204
had moderate cognitive impairement for daily
decision making, and needed extensive
assistance from two or more staff members to

The facility must ensure that §483.25(d)(1) The resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as is
possible; and
§483.25(d)(2)Each resident receives adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent
accidents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to provide padded bed
rails (padding on the side rails to prevent
injuries) for one of 8 sampled residents (202),
who was at risk for seizure activities (a sudden,
uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain
that may cause the body to shake), as ordered
by the physician.
The deficient practice had the potential to
cause injury to Resident 202 during seizure
activities.
Findings:
A review of the admission records indicated
Resident 202 was admitted to the facility on
9/13/2019 with diagnoses of but not limited to
subdural hemorrhage (a collection of pooled
blood between the brain and its outermost
covering).

During an observation of Resident 202 room on
09/23/19 at 7:36 a.m., the resident was
observed lying in bed sleeping with both upper
siderails in up position, but there was no
padding on the side rails.
During an interview with Certified Nursing
Attendant (CNA 8) on 9/23/19 at 07:38 a.m,
stated Resident 202 had a fall previously and
the side rails were up to help assist the resident
with turning. CNA 8 stated if there was an order
for side rails to be padded, the order would
come from the physician. CNA 8 stated
padded side rails could be used to prevent the
resident from getting bruises and to prevent the
resident from injuries. CNA 8 stated seizures
would also be a reason for the side rails to be
padded. CNA 8 acknowledged Resident 202
did not have any padding on the bedrails and
stated the resident had not had seizures since
admission.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 5) on 09/23/19 at 8:13 a.m., stated
Resident 202 was at risk for seizures and
clotting because of the blood on her brain. LVN

by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient
pain reduction was achieved after the pain
medication was administered, prior to providing
physical therapy exercises to one of 1 sampled

([anticoagulant] prevents blood clots)
medication for one of 5 sampled residents (49),
who was reviewed for unnecessary drugs.
This failure had the potential to result in
Resident 49 not monitored for adverse effects
(unwanted or unexpected events or reactions
to a drug) of the Lovenox medication, such as
bleeding and bruising, to ensure the medication
and dosage were still relevant and were not
causing undesired complications.
Findings:
A review of Resident 49's Admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 8/27/19 with diagnoses including
atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), coronary
artery disease (blockage of blood vessels
supplying the heart muscle), and
hyperlipidemia (elevated fats in the blood).
A review of Resident 49's Minimum Data Set
(MDS), a standardized assessment and carescreening tool, dated 9/3/19, indicated the
resident had severe cognitive impairment for
daily decision making, required extensive
assistance with one staff for activities of daily
living that includes transfers, personal hygiene
and eating.
A review of Resident 49's physician order dated
8/27/19 indicated to administer Lovenox 40
milligrams, subcutaneously (under the skin),
once a day.

These deficient practices had the potential to
affect Resident 9, 30, 31, 37, and 155's
nutritional intake, when foods were not served
according to the planned menus, which could
lead to an unplanned weight variance of weight
loss and or weight gain.
