This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, and record review, the
facility failed to report to the state agency
(Department of Public Health) a fall with
fracture of a resident with impaired cognition
and an a right hand fifth finger fracture of
unknown origin for two of two sampled
residents (Residents 21 and 24).
This deficient practice had a potential of not
knowing the root cause of residents' injury and
in a delay of an onsite inspection by the
Department of Public Health to ensure the
safety of the other residents and to ensure the
fall incident was investigated timely.
Findings:
a. A review of Resident 21's Admission Record
indicated the resident was originally admitted
on November 26, 2015 and readmitted on
November 18, 2018 with diagnoses that
include, but not limited to fracture of the right
femur, status post hip replacement (replacing
the damaged joint surface and replaces it with
an artificial implant.
A review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set
(MDS- a standardized assessment and
screening tool) dated September 4, 2018,
indicated the resident has severe cognitive
impairment (mental process of thinking and
understanding) for daily decision making, able
to sometimes make self understood and
sometimes understands others. Resident 12
needs one person physical assistance with
transfers, toilet use and personal hygiene.
A record review of Resident 21's Fall
Assessment Form dated September 4, 2018
indicates that the resident had a fall risk score

of 16. The assessment states that a score of 10
or above represents a high risk for falls.
A record review of the Incident Report dated
November 9, 2018 states that Certified Nurses
Aid 2 (CNA 2) transferred Resident 21 from
bed onto the shower chair as a one person
assist. No verbalization from resident of bowel
urgency. Once transferred to the chair resident
was noted to be attempting to stand from sitting
position. CNA 2 reminded resident to sit back
down and gently assisted her onto the shower
chair. Resident 21 then began to cause her
body to get ridged as CNA 2 was instructing
resident to sit back down. Resident leaned
forward to the right of the shower chair causing
it to tilt to the right which in turn resulted in a
fall.
During an interview on March 6, 2019 at 10:35
a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the
DON stated that Certified Nurses Aid 2 (CNA 2)
informed her that they had transferred the
resident to the shower chair. CNA 2 alleges
that she saw the resident attempting to get up
causing the chair to tilt to the right. As a result
Resident 1 fell with the shower chair. CNA 2
states she was unable to catch Resident 21
due to the events happening so fast.
A record review of the of the SBAR (Situation,
background, appear and review)
communication form dated November 9, 2018
indicated that after the fall Resident 21
sustained a right eyebrow skin tear and
complained of right hip pain.
A record review of the of the radiology report of
the x-radiation of the right hip (imaging that
creates pictures of inside the body) service
date of November 9, 2018 states that Resident
21 sustained a femoral neck fracture (thigh
bone break)

the part of your brain that controls how you
move your body and results in tremors such as
involuntary shaking), stiff muscles, slow
movement, walking and balance difficulty, and
difficulty speaking, epilepsy (brain activity
becomes abnormal, causing seizures and can
result in the body jerking, shaking, loss of
consciousness), and multiple sclerosis (cells in
the brain and spinal cord, whose symptoms
may include numbness, impairment of speech
and of muscular coordination, blurred vision,
and severe fatigue).
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - an assessment and care screening
tool) dated December 27, 2018, indicated
Resident 24's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions making
were severely impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 24 was completely dependent on staff
(two person assist) for moving in bed,
transferring from bed to chair, dressing, eating,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review Resident 24's care plan for
Parkinson's disease initiated on December 27,

injury from tremors and involuntary movement
related to Parkinson's disease. The care plan
indicated the resident will be free from injury
daily for 90 days. The interventions in the care
plan were to assist the resident with ADLs
(activities of daily living) as needed, observe
environment for special needs, if involuntary
movements noted, at risk for injury, and notify
the physician if involuntary movement increase.
A review of the incident report dated January
21, 2019 indicated at 6:30 a.m. while checking
Resident 24's blood sugar the licensed staff
noted the resident had a right hand
discoloration, bluish in color with swelling with
skin being intact.
A review of the SBAR (Situation, background,
Assessment and Recommendation- a
communication tool) and nursing note dated
January 21, 2019, indicated Resident 24's
physician was notified regarding the resident's
episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar),
increased involuntary movement and hand
tremors, lip smacking and right hand
discoloration and swelling. The nursing note
indicated the physician called back and gave
orders addressing the resident's hypoglycemia.
The SBAR note did not mention any
interventions or response from the physician
regarding the resident's right hand swelling and
discoloration, to include further diagnostic tests,
or evaluation and or treatment of the resident's
right hand including immobilization. There was
no other documented evidence in the License
Nurse Record of follow up with the physician

A review of an SBAR dated January 22, 2019,
indicated upon doing rounds at 10:45 p.m., the
licensed staff noted Resident 24's right hand
was bleeding, with a laceration (cut) between
the little finger and the ring finger. The SBAR
indicated the physician was notified and he
ordered an antibiotic ointment. The SBAR

A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 24 was initially admitted on June 1,
2013 and readmitted to the facility on February
3, 2019. Resident 24 diagnoses included
Parkinson's disease (is an illness that affects
the part of your brain that controls how you
move your body and results in tremors such as
involuntary shaking), stiff muscles, slow
movement, walking and balance difficulty, and
difficulty speaking, epilepsy (brain activity
becomes abnormal, causing seizures and can
result in the body jerking, shaking, loss of
consciousness), and multiple sclerosis (cells in
the brain and spinal cord, whose symptoms
may include numbness, impairment of speech
and of muscular coordination, blurred vision,
and severe fatigue).
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - an assessment and care screening
tool) dated December 27, 2018, indicated
Resident 24's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions making
were severely impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 24 was completely dependent on staff
(two person assist) for moving in bed,
transferring from bed to chair, dressing, eating,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.

Findings:
A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 24 was initially admitted on June 1,
2013 and readmitted to the facility on February
3, 2019. Resident 24 diagnoses included
Parkinson's disease (is an illness that affects
the part of your brain that controls how you
move your body and results in tremors such as
involuntary shaking), stiff muscles, slow
movement, walking and balance difficulty, and
difficulty speaking, epilepsy (brain activity
becomes abnormal, causing seizures and can
result in the body jerking, shaking, loss of
consciousness), and multiple sclerosis (cells in
the brain and spinal cord, whose symptoms
may include numbness, impairment of speech
and of muscular coordination, blurred vision,
and severe fatigue).
A review of Resident 24's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - an assessment and care screening
tool) dated December 27, 2018, indicated
Resident 24's cognitive (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for daily decisions making
were severely impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 24 was completely dependent on staff
(two person assist) for moving in bed,
transferring from bed to chair, dressing, eating,

A review of Resident 24's care plan for Safety
Precautions initiated on December 27, 2018,
indicated the resident had potential for
discomfort, skin breakdown and injury related
to the use of safety device (padded side rail for
diagnosis of seizure disorder). The care plan
indicated the resident's incidence of skin
breakdown, injury will be lessened and will
maintain ADL at highest level of function daily
for 90 days. The interventions were to make
sure the safety device is applied properly,
check resident frequently and ascertain need,
review/determine need for safety device
quarterly and as needed, provide verbal
reminders to resident to call when needed
assistance, keep call light and most frequently
used items within easy reach, explain the
importance of the safety device and the
benefits of use.
A review of Resident 24's care plan for risk for
convulsion (a sudden, violent, irregular
movement of a limb or of the body, caused by
involuntary contraction of muscles and
associated especially with brain disorders such
as epilepsy) and seizure activity initiated on
December 27, 2018 indicated Resident 24
episodes of seizures and injury will be lessened
daily for 90 days. The interventions in the care
plan were to observed for signs of impending
seizures, jerking extremities, report all seizure
episodes to physician promptly, and keep side
rails padded at all times.

Based on observation, record review and
interview the Restorative Nursing Assistants
(RNA) failed to provide range of mention
(ROM-the full movement potential of a joint)
exercises as ordered by the physician for two
of two sample residents (Resident 37, Resident
68).
This deficient practice placed the residents at
risk for further decline in Range of Motion.
Findings:
a. A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 37 was admitted on December 14,
2014 with diagnoses including but not limited to
chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus (high
blood sugar) and obesity.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an
assessment and care screening tool) dated
January 17, 2019, indicated Resident 37's
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decisions making were intact. The MDS
indicated Resident 37 did not walk in the room
or hallway, did not transfer from bed to chair
and required extensive assistance for dressing,
toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS
indicated Resident 37 had limitation in ROM in
both legs.
A review of Resident 37's care plan initiated in

for further functional decline related to impaired
mobility and joint limitations per joint mobility
assessment. The care plan indicated the
interventions were for the resident to receive

Wednesdays and Fridays as tolerated.
On March 8, 2019 at 2:11 p.m., during an
observation of ROM exercises, RNA 1 did not
instruct Resident 24 to first perform the
exercises without assistance (AAROM). RNA 1
started by holding the residents left leg and
performing the exercises. RNA 1 stated he did
the same exercises in the same manner every
day, three times a week. RNA 1 stated the
rehab department taught him how to perform
ROM exercises. RNA 1 repeated that he would
start by holding the resident's leg and ask the
resident to help while he performs the
exercises.
On March 8, 2019 at 2:41 during an interview,
the Director of Rehab (DOR) stated for AAROM
the resident should first attempt performing the
exercises before getting assistance from RNA.
The DOR stated if the resident cannot
complete the full ROM of the joint then the
RNA can assist. The DOR stated it would not
be accurate to just assist the resident without
first asking and instructing the resident to
attempt on his own.

without interruption) stretches to bilateral upper
extremities daily as tolerated.
On March 8, 2019 at 11:24 a.m., during an
observation, RNA 2 stated Resident 68 had
orders for PROM (passive range of motion
exercises - amount of motion at a given joint
when moved by another person) for both arms.
RNA 1 proceeded to perform PROM exercises
for Resident 68.
On March 8, 2019 at 12:46 p.m. during a
concurrent record review and interview, the
physical therapist (PT 1) stated for gentle
stretches the RNA should move the joint up to
where there is resistance and hold it there for a
bit and then repeat. PT 1 stated gentle
stretches may help the resident maintain or
increase their ROM and may help prevent a
decline.
On March 8, 2019 at 12:57 p.m. during an
interview, RNA 2 repeated that Resident 68
had orders for PROM for both arm. RNA 2
stated performing gentle stretches meant being
gentle while performing ROM exercises. RNA 2
demonstrated the exercises she performed for
Resident 68 in the presence of the PT 1.

indwelling catheter is not catheterized unless
the resident's clinical condition demonstrates
that catheterization was necessary;
(ii) A resident who enters the facility with an
indwelling catheter or subsequently receives
one is assessed for removal of the catheter as
soon as possible unless the resident's clinical
condition demonstrates that catheterization is
necessary; and
(iii) A resident who is incontinent of bladder
receives appropriate treatment and services to
prevent urinary tract infections and to restore
continence to the extent possible.
§483.25(e)(3) For a resident with fecal
incontinence, based on the resident's
comprehensive assessment, the facility must
ensure that a resident who is incontinent of
bowel receives appropriate treatment and
services to restore as much normal bowel
function as possible.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, record review and
interview the certified nursing assistants
(CNAs) failed to provide proper perineal care
(washing the genitals and anal area and this
can be done during a bath or as a separate
procedure. Perineal care prevents skin
breakdown and infections) in a manner to
prevent infection for three of three sample
residents (Resident 14, Resident 24 and
Resident 28) who were at risk for urinary tract
infections (bladder infection).
This deficient practice placed the resident at
risk of getting urinary tract infection.

During the re-certification survey conducted
from March 5 to March 11, 2019 an anonymous
complaint alleging that the facility staff was not
providing appropriate perennial care to female
residents.
a. A review of the admission record indicated
Resident 14 was admitted on August 23, 2018
with diagnoses including but not limited sepsis
(a potentially life-threatening condition caused
by the body's response to an infection) and
urinary tract infection (bladder infection)
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an
assessment and care screening tool) dated
December 5, 2018, indicated Resident 14's
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decisions making were severely impaired. The
MDS indicated Resident 24 was completely
dependent on staff for moving in bed,
transferring from bed to chair, dressing, eating,
toilet use, and personal hygiene.
A review of Resident 24's Care plan initiated on
September 5, 2018 indicated the resident was
incontinent of bowel and bladder. The care plan
indicated Resident 24 will be free from any skin
breakdown due to incontinence and will be free
from signs and symptoms of urinary tract
infection for 90 days. The interventions
included providing proper perennial care after
each incontinence.
On March 8, 2019 at 10:22 a.m., CNA 6,
assisted by CNA 5 was observed providing
perineal care for Resident 14. CNA 6 used a
small towel with soap and water and wipe the

Resident 24 was initially admitted on June 1,
2013 and readmitted to the facility on February
3, 2019 with diagnoses including but not limited
to sepsis and urinary tract infection.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - an
assessment and care screening tool) dated
December 27, 2018, indicated Resident 24's
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily
decisions making were severely impaired. The
MDS indicated Resident 24 was completely

A review of Resident 24's Care plan initiated on
December 27, 2018 indicated the resident was
incontinent of bowel and had a Foley catheter
(a flexible tube that ins inserted into the bladder
to drain urine). The care plan indicated
Resident 24 will be free from any skin
breakdown and will be free from signs and
symptoms of urinary tract infection for 90 days.
The interventions included providing proper
perineal care after each incontinence.

down the catheter about 3 inches. Gently rinse
and dry the area.
2. Continue to wash the perineum moving from
inside outward to and including the thighs,
alternating from side to side and using
downward stroke. DO not reuse the same
washcloth or water to clean the urethra or labia

The facility must ensure that a resident who
needs respiratory care, including tracheostomy
care and tracheal suctioning, is provided such
care, consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, the residents' goals and preferences,
and 483.65 of this subpart.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed follow physician's
orders regarding oxygen therapy (the
administration of oxygen at concentrations
greater than that in ambient air with the intent
of treating or preventing the symptoms and
manifestations of low oxygen) for one of one
sample residents (Resident 68)
This deficient practice had the potential to
place Resident 68 at risk for receiving too much
oxygen, which can result in complications such
as headaches, lethargy, drowsiness, and
confusion.
Findings:
On March 5, 2019 at 8:54 a.m., during initial
tour of the facility, Resident 68 was observed
laying in bed. Resident 68 was receiving
oxygen 4 liters per minute via nasal cannula (a
thin tube which on one end splits into two
prongs which are placed in the nostrils to
provide extra oxygen to a person what has
difficulty breathing)

pharmaceutical services including procedures
that assure acquiring of all drugs and
biologicals by failing to acquire Resident 90's
sodium citrate citric acid (a medication used to
make urine less acidic) after it had been

indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on March 3, 2019. Resident 90's
diagnoses included acute kidney failure (a
condition in which the kidneys cannot filter
waste from the blood.)

March 6, 2019, at 11:42 a.m., LVN 3 stated the
sodium citrate citric acid had not yet been
delivered by pharmacy.
A record review of the Pharmacy Delivery Log
for March 6, 2019, indicates that Resident 90's
sodium citrate citric acid was newly delivered
on March 6, 2019, at 8:58 p.m.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on March 11, 2019 at 10:04 a.m., the
DON stated that newly ordered medication
should be delivered within 4-6 hours of
receiving the order. DON stated it should not
have taken 3 days to receive the medication.
A review of the facility's policies and
procedures titled "Medication ordering and
Receiving from Pharmacy" dated April 2008,
indicates that medication and related products
are received from the dispensing pharmacy on
a timely basis. New medications, except for
emergency or "stat" medications are ordered
as follows: if needed before the next regular
delivery, inform pharmacy of the need for
prompt delivery.

significant medication errors.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure one of six sampled
residents (Resident 37) was free from a
significant medication error. Licensed
Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3) administered a
dose of Methadone (medication to treat pain
and drug addiction) 20 milligrams (mg) and
Norco (medication for pain relief) 10-325
milligrams (mg) at 10:30 a.m., and then again
at 12:00 p.m.
This deficient practice had the potential to lead
to a possible drug overdose.
Findings:
A review of Resident 37's Admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on July 15, 2014 and readmitted on
December 14, 2014. Resident 37's diagnoses
included chronic (persistent) pain.
A review of Resident 37s Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a standardized assessment and carescreening tool) dated July 19, 2018 indicated
the resident's cognitive ability for daily decisionmaking is intact and the resident has the ability
to understand others and make himself
understood.
A review of Resident 37's Physician's Orders
indicates an order for Norco 10-325mg to be
given four times a day at 9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m.,
5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. with an order date of
March 7, 2018. The Physician's Orders also
indicate for a dose of Methadone 30mg to be
given at 9:00 a.m. and Methadone 20mg to be
given at 1:00 p.m. with an order start date of
March 24, 2018.

During an observation of the medication cart for
station 2 on March 6, 2019 at 11:42 a.m. with
Licensed Vocational Nurse 3 (LVN 3), a bubble
pack (a small package enclosing the
medication in transparent dome-shaped plastic
on a flat cardboard backing) of Methadone 10
mg tablets and Norco 10-325 mg tablets for
Resident 37 was observed. Contents of bubble
pack for Norco showed 10 tablets remaining.
When reviewing the Controlled Drug Record (a
chart log to keep record of the remaining doses
of a medication) for Norco 10-325mg, it
indicated that 11 tablets should be remaining
inside the bubble pack. Contents of bubble
pack for Methadone showed 10 tablets
remaining. When reviewing the Controlled Drug
Record for Methadone 10 mg tablets, it
indicated that 12 tablets should be remaining
inside the bubble pack instead or 10 tablets.
During an interview with LVN 3 on March 6,
2019 at 11:53 a.m., LVN 3 stated that the
bubble packs for Norco and Methadone and
the Controlled Drug Record did not match. LVN
3 stated he dispensed the medication and left
the 1:00 p.m. dose for Resident 37 at the
residents bedside at 10:30 a.m. LVN 3 stated
no medication is to be left at a resident's
bedside unattended. LVN 3 stated that leaving
medication at a resident's bedside presents the
opportunity for increased medication error. LVN
3 was asked at what time did he administer the
9:00 a.m. doses of Norco and Methadone to
Resident 37, LVN 3 stated he gave Resident
37's 9:00 a.m. doses at 10:30 a.m. (one hour
and thirty minutes late).
During an interview with Resident 37 on March
6, 2019 at 12:20 p.m., Resident 37 stated he

§483.45(h)(2) The facility must provide
separately locked, permanently affixed
compartments for storage of controlled drugs
listed in Schedule II of the Comprehensive
Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of
1976 and other drugs subject to abuse, except
when the facility uses single unit package drug
distribution systems in which the quantity
stored is minimal and a missing dose can be
readily detected.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility:
1. Failed to replace one of 12 emergency
medication kits after the kit had been accessed
to obtain medication.
2. Failed to properly store Humulin (insulin- a
medication used to treat high sugar levels in
the blood) according to manufacturer
specification for one of three medication carts.
These deficient practices had the potential to
result in lack of available medications in the
event of an emergency, and had a potential to
result in compromised therapeutic
effectiveness of stored insulin.
Findings:
a. During an observation on March 5, 2019, at
7:56 a.m., of the medication storage room, a
total of 12 emergency medication kits were
noted. Two of the 12 emergency medication
kits contained controlled medications.

This deficient practice had the potential to
result in confusion in the care and services for
Resident 90, which could place the residents at
risk of not receiving appropriate care due to
inaccurate and incomplete resident medical
care information.
Findings:
A review of Resident 90's Admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on March 3, 2019. Resident 90's
diagnoses included acute kidney failure (a
condition in which the kidneys suddenly cannot
filter waste from the blood.)
A review of Resident 90's History and Physical
(document that provides concise information
about a patient's history and exam findings at
the time of admission) dated March 4, 2019
indicated that the resident is oriented to person,
place, and time and well-developed, wellnourished and independent.

March 2019 shows an order for Hemodialysis
to be done at outpatient with the resident
dialysis site as right chest Quinton Catheter

During a record review of Resident 90's Pre
Dialysis Checklist dated March 7, 2019, the
Thrill (consistent vibration under the skin) and
Bruit (abnormal sound generated by turbulent
flow of blood in an artery) options were
selected for the AV Shunt access site. The
Quinton catheter portion of the Pre Dialysis
Checklist was not selected to reflect the actual
dialysis access for the resident.
During a record review of Resident 90's Pre
Dialysis Checklist dated March 9, 2019, the
Thrill and Bruit options were selected for the
AV Shunt access site.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON) on March 11, 2019 at 9:54 a.m., the
DON stated that on the Dialysis Care form, the
staff should not have filled out the bruit and
thrill section for the AV shunt portion of the
form as Resident 90 did not have that type of
dialysis access.
A review of the facility's policy and procedures
titled "Dialysis Care" revised on January 2017
indicates that a pre-dialysis checklist will be
completed by the facility each time the resident
is scheduled for dialysis. This checklist includes
information regarding the type of access site
and the condition of the access site and the
dressing.
