Findings:

a. During a tour of the facility laundry area, on 1/2/2025, at 11:30 a.m., with the HSKS and Laundry Attendant (LA), observed the clean laundry room with the HSKS and LA. In the clean laundry room, the HSKS moved a large rolling bin to the side and two pillows were laying on the ground. The HSKS picked the pillows up off

the ground and placed them on top of a folded blanket. The LA continued to fold laundry and did not remove

the pillows from on top of the blanket. The laundry area tour continued with the HSKS. Upon return to the clean linen room, the two pillows remained on top of the blanket. The LA stated the blanket under the pillows was clean, but the pillows should be disinfected because the pillows were on the ground. The LA removed

the pillows. The HSKS returned to the clean linen area and stated he should not have placed the pillows on top of clean linens because the pillows were considered dirty. The HSKS stated the blanket that was under

the pillows was now considered dirty. The HSKS stated when he placed the pillows on the blanket, there was

a potential that the dirty blanket would be used for residents.

During an interview on 1/2/2025, at 3:30 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated pillows from the ground should not be picked up and placed on top of clean blankets. The DON stated once the pillows touch the floor, they are considered dirty and could contaminate the clean blankets. The DON stated

this practice is an infection control issue that may result in the spread of infectious agents by cross contamination (the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another, with harmful effect) to residents.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Soiled Linen Handling, last reviewed 12/4/2024, the P&P indicated the facility will handle, store, and transport linen in a safe and sanitary method to prevent the spread of infection. Linen can become contaminated with pathogens from contact with intact skin, body substances, or from environmental contaminants. Transmission of pathogens can occur through direct contact with linen or aerosols generated from sorting and handling contaminated linens. Soiled linen will be kept separate from clean linen at all times. Linen includes sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, washcloths, and similar items.

record when completing the MDS Discharge Assessment. MDSC 1 stated Resident 143 discharged to SNF 1, but the MDS indicated the resident discharged to the hospital. MDSC 1 stated SNF 1 is not a hospital. MDSC 1 stated the MDS was not correct and there was a coding error. MDSC 1 stated the MDS should be accurate because it is a part of the resident's medical record and the MDS is transmitted to the state. MDSC 1 stated Resident 143's MDS was not completed per the guidance of RAI Manual.

During an interview on 1/3/2025 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated coding in

the MDS reflects resident care for billing purposes.

Residents Affected - Few

During a review of Resident 128's MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], the MDS indicated the resident had the ability to understand others and the ability to be understood. The MDS further indicated the resident required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting, bathing, dressing, and transferring from bed to chair/toilet. The MDS indicated the resident was taking antibiotics, a high-risk drug class (drugs that increase the potential for adverse events and possible side effect [also known as adverse effects - unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have]).

During a review of Resident 128's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 128 was prescribed ciprofloxacin, 325 milligram ([mg], a unit of measure of mass) tablet, give one tablet by mouth every 12 hours for extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL, an enzyme found in some strains of bacteria) in the right trans metatarsal amputation (TMA, a surgery to remove part of the foot) wound until 1/12/2025, starting 12/30/2024.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/2/2025, at 8:17 a.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP reviewed Resident 128's physician orders, Medication Administration Record (MAR), and CPs.

The IP stated when a resident begins taking an antibiotic a care plan is created that includes the use of the specific antibiotic prescribed with interventions to monitor for side effects and the effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment. The IP stated antibiotics have side effects like nausea and vomiting. The IP stated there was no documented evidence of a CP for Resident 128's use of ciprofloxacin. The IP stated without a CP for ciprofloxacin it could potentially result in the unidentified side effects of the medication that may warrant a change to a different antibiotic.

During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/2/2025, at 3:30 p.m., with the DON, the DON reviewed Resident 128's physician orders, MAR, and CPs. The DON stated a CP is a tool that guides the care of residents. The DON stated a CP for antibiotics should be developed when residents require antibiotics to treat an infection. The DON stated the antibiotic CP should include interventions for monitoring for allergic reactions, monitoring for side effects, and monitoring the effectiveness of the medication. The DON stated antibiotics are a type of medication that are known to have adverse effects and the licensed nurse needs to know the plan of care with the specific medication they are giving. The DON stated Resident 128 was prescribed and taking ciprofloxacin and should have a CP for ciprofloxacin. The DON stated Resident 128 did not have a CP for the use of ciprofloxacin. The DON stated when Resident 128 did not have a CP for ciprofloxacin it could potentially result in nurses not monitoring for medication side effects and not monitoring

the effectiveness of the medication. The DON stated when antibiotics are not monitored for effectiveness it could potentially result in a worsening of the resident's infection. The DON stated the facility policy and procedures regarding comprehensive CPs was not followed when Resident 128 did not have a CP for the use of ciprofloxacin.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 43455 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that its medication error rate Residents Affected - Some was less than five (5) percent (%). Four (4) medication errors out of 27 total opportunities contributed to an overall medication error rate of 14.81% affecting two (2) of seven (7) residents observed for medication administration (Resident 71 and 88.) The medication errors were as follows:

1. Resident 71 did not receive psyllium husk powder (a medication used to form a bulky stook to pass easily) as ordered by Resident 71's physician and received a dose of oyster shell calcium (a medication used as a dietary supplement to provide support to bones) that was different than the one ordered by Resident 71's physician.

2. Resident 88 received a form of multivitamin (a medication used as a dietary supplement to provide essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional elements) and calcium with vitamin D (a combination medication used as a dietary supplement to provide support to bones) that was different than the one ordered by Resident 88's physician.

These failures had the potential to result in Residents 71 and 88 to experience medication adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a medication may have) and the potential to result in Residents 71's and 88's health and well-being to be negatively impacted.

Findings:

1. During a review of Resident 71's Admission Record (a document containing demographic and diagnostic information,) dated 12/31/24, the Admission Record indicated Resident 71 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with a diagnosis including difficulty in walking, reduced mobility, history of falling, gastrointestinal (related to intestines/bowel) hemorrhage (bleeding) and diverticulitis (inflammation) of large intestine.

During a review of Resident 71's Order Summary Report (a report listing the physician order for the resident,) dated 12/31/24, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 71 was prescribed oyster shell calcium 500 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) with vitamin D five (5) micrograms (mcg - a unit of measure for mass) to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day for supplement, starting 11/28/2024, and psyllium husk powder (a medication used for constipation) to give one (1) packet by mouth once a day for bowel management, starting 12/2/2024.

During a review of Resident 71's Medication Administration Record ([MAR] - a record of mediations administered to residents,) for December 2024, the MAR indicated Resident 71 was prescribed oyster shell calcium 500 mg with vitamin D 5 mcg to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day for supplement, and psyllium husk powder to give one (1) packet by mouth once a day for bowel management, at 9 a.m.

During an observation on 12/31/2024, at 9:10 a.m., in medication cart 4, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 administered oyster shell calcium 500 mg tablet and polyethylene glycol solution to Resident 71. Resident 71 swallowed the oyster shell calcium tablet with the polyethylene glycol solution.

LVN 1 stated not receiving vitamin D can harm Resident 71 by not only decreasing the absorption of the calcium but also Residents Affected - Some leading to osteoporosis (a condition where the bones become brittle and fragile from low calcium or vitamin D levels) especially in those after the age 50, fragile bones and breakage of bones, and not receiving psyllium husk powder would not help with passing stool easily. LVN 1 stated these were considered medication errors. LVN 1 stated that LVN 1 will notify the physician for not administering oyster shell calcium with vitamin D and not administering psyllium husk powder to Resident 71 and obtain additional orders as necessary.

2. During a review of Resident 88's Admission Record, dated 12/31/2024, the Admission Record indicated

the resident was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] and readmitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including fracture (breakage) of left femur (thigh bone) and iron deficiency.

During a review of Resident 88's Order Summary Report, dated 12/31/2024, the Order Summary Report indicated Resident 88 was prescribed multivitamin tablet to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day, and calcium carbonate-vitamin D with minerals 600-400 mg-unit tablet to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day for supplement, starting 12/4/2023.

During a review of Resident 88's MAR for December 2024, the MAR indicated Resident 88 was prescribed multivitamin tablet to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day at 9 a.m., and calcium carbonate-vitamin D with minerals 600-400 mg-unit tablet to give one (1) tablet by mouth once a day for supplement at 9 a.m.an 5 p.m.

During an observation on 12/31/2024, at 9:14 a.m., in medication cart 4, LVN 1 administered calcium 600 mg with vitamin D 5 mcg tablet and multivitamin with minerals tablet orally to Resident 88. Resident 88 swallowed the calcium with vitamin D tablet and multivitamin with mineral tablet with full glass of water.

During an interview on 12/31/2024, at 10:58 a.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated LVN 1 administered multivitamin with minerals tablet and calcium 600 mg with vitamin D 5 mcg tablet to Resident 88, during the morning medication administration at 9:14 a.m. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 failed to administer the correct multivitamin and correct dose of calcium with vitamin D to Resident 88, as prescribed by Resident 88's physician. LVN 1 stated that LVN 1 also failed to clarify the medication order for the dose of vitamin D as it was unclear. LVN 1 stated administering multivitamin with minerals to Resident 88 may not be beneficial to their health and may cause adverse effects, and that administering the wrong dose of calcium with vitamin D can harm the resident by causing low vitamin D levels, lead to fragile bones and potentially cause breakage of bones. LVN 1 stated these were considered medication errors. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 will notify the physician for administering the incorrect multivitamin and calcium with vitamin D to Resident 88, clarify the calcium with vitamin D order, and obtain additional orders as necessary.

F 0759 During an interview on 12/31/2024, at 2:28 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON,) the DON stated that LVN 1 failed to administer medications as ordered by the physician to Resident 71 and 88 and should follow Level of Harm - Minimal harm or facility medication administration guidelines to ensure physician orders are followed and the right potential for actual harm medications and doses are administered. The DON stated that LVN 1 failed to administer calcium 500 mg with vitamin D 5 mcg and psyllium husk powder to Resident 71 and failed to administer the correct Residents Affected - Some multivitamin and correct dose of calcium with vitamin D to Resident 88, as prescribed by Resident 71's and 88's physician. The DON stated the order for calcium with vitamin D for Resident 88 was unclear and confusing and did not indicate to administer a dose of vitamin D 5 mcg and needed to be clarified. The DON stated these were considered medication errors. The DON stated vitamin D was necessary for maintaining levels of vitamin D that was adequate for bone strength, preventing brittle bones and breakage of bones, and

the psyllium husk was needed to pass stool easily, and administering incorrect medications or doses to Residents 71 and 88 will not help treat the resident's condition and possibly worsen it.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled Procedures for All Medications, last reviewed 12/4/24, the P&P indicated To administer medications in a safe and effective manner.

B. Administration

2. Medications are administered in accordance with written orders of the attending physician.

During a review of the facility's P&P, titled Medication Errors, last reviewed 12/4/24, the P&P indicated: Medication error means the observed or identified preparation or administration of medications or biologicals which is not in accordance with the prescriber's order; manufacturer's specifications (not recommendations) regarding the preparation and administration of the medication or biological; or accepted professional standards and principles which apply to professional providing services. Types of errors include: medication omission; wrong patient, dose, route, rate, or time; incorrect administration; and/or incorrect administration technique. Medication Error Rate is determined by calculating the percentage of errors observed during a medication administration observation. The numerator is the total number of errors observed, both significant and non-significant. The denominator consists of the total number of observations or 'opportunities for error' and include all doses observed being administered, plus the doses ordered but not administered.

RN 2 stated the standard of practice is to rotate administration site insulin to prevent development of lipodystrophy and bruising. RN 2 stated the licensed nurses should have rotated the insulin administration sites for Resident 134 as it placed the resident at risk for complications of not rotating administration sites such as trauma, bruising, and development of lipodystrophy.

During an interview on 1/3/2024, at 2:49 p.m., the DON stated the standards of practice regarding administration of medication subcutaneously is to rotate the administration sites to prevent bruising, pain, lipodystrophy, and amyloidosis. The DON stated Resident 134's administration sites for insulin should have been rotated by the licensed nurses as it placed the resident at risk for trauma, bruising, lipodystrophy, and amyloidosis to the administration site.

During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Insulin Administration, last reviewed on 12/4/2024, the P&P indicated to select an injection site.

a. Insulin may be injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the upper arm, and the anterior or lateral areas of

the thighs and abdomen. Avoid the area approximately two inches around the navel.

b. Injection sites should be rotated, preferably within the same general area (abdomen, thigh upper arm).

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 44376

Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment was free of accident hazards for six of 6 sampled residents (Residents 495, 61, 402, 11, 52, and 137) investigated under accidents by failing to ensure:

1. Resident 495's tube of triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.1 percent (helps relieve redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions), travatan (travoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.004 % (to reduce pressure in the eyes with glaucoma [a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged] and high pressure in the eyes), bisacodyl 5 milligrams (mg, a unit of weight) tablet (used to treat constipation), bromonidine tartrate ophthalmic Solution 0.2 % (used to lower pressure in

the eyes), and dorzolamide HCl and timolol maleate ophthalmic solution, 2 %/0.5 % (used to treat glaucoma) were not left at the bedside of the resident.

This failure increased the risks of harm to the resident due to the possibility of omitting the dose, double dosing, and mixing the medications that could cause adverse (unfavorable) or even fatal effects on the resident.

2. Resident 61 and 52's fall mat (a safety pad placed on the floor by a resident's bed to reduce the risk of injury from a fall) did not have any furniture or medical equipment on top of them.

3. Resident 11's floor was not wet, and the resident was not standing over wet floor.

This failure increased the risk of injury when the resident slips, trips, and falls by hitting the hard surface of

the equipment or furniture that is on top of the fall mat.

4. The facility stored Resident 137's smoking material in a secure area.

This failure had the potential to place residents at risk for harm such as skin burns.

F 0814 Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 43418 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to dispose garbage and refuse properly Residents Affected - Some when the garbage dumpsters located in the facility parking lot were overflowing with garbage.

This deficient practice had the potential to attract pests and possibly spread infection to 138 out of 138 facility residents.

Findings:

During an observation on 1/2/2025, at 7:15 a.m., in the facility parking lot, the lids of two black dumpster bins were left open with bags of garbage stacked over opening of the bin.

During an observation on 1/2/2025, at 7:41 a.m., in the facility parking lot, the lids of two black dumpster bins were left open with bags of garbage stacked over opening of the bin.

During an observation on 1/3/2025, at 7:31 a.m., in the facility parking lot, the lid of a black dumpster bin was resting on top bags of garbage. The dumpster lid was unable to completely close.

During an interview with the Housekeeping Supervisor (HSKS), on 1/3/2025, at 1:50 p.m., the HSKS stated garbage from the facility is thrown out into the dumpsters in the parking lot. The HSKS stated the garbage container should be always closed because leaving it open can attract flies and pests which can lead to the spread of infection.

During an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), on 1/3/2025, at 2:19 p.m., the MS stated the garbage dumpsters in the facility parking lot should be kept closed. The MS stated the dumpster contains garbage from both the facility and the facility kitchen. The MS stated if the garbage dumpster bins are not kept closed, there is a potential that the garbage can attract pests which can lead to the spread of infection.

During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 1/3/2025, at 2:40 p.m., the DON stated the dumpsters in the facility parking lot should be closed. The DON stated leaving the dumpster open can potentially invite pests to come to the facility, rips open the bags of garbage, and be a source of infection.

F 0849 Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will arrange for the provision of hospice services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 43988

Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to arrange provisions of hospice services (a program designed to provide a caring environment for meeting the physical and emotional needs of the terminally ill)

in a consistent manner for one of one sampled resident (Resident 11) investigated during review of hospice services by failing to:

1. Ensure the hospice staff including the registered nurse (RN), licensed vocational nurse (LVN), and hospice aide (HA), provided nursing and visitation notes to the facility.

2. Ensure the calendar of visits from 9/23/2024 to the most current visits was provided by Hospice Provider 1 (HP 1).

These deficient practices had the potential to negatively affect the residents' physical comfort and psychosocial well-being and had the potential to result in the delay or lack of necessary hospice care and services.

Findings:

During a review of Resident 11's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 9/12/2024 with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body) following intracerebral hemorrhage (a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts) affecting right dominant side; unsteadiness on feet; and generalized muscle weakness.

During a review of Resident 11's History and Physical (H&P) dated 9/14/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 11 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.

During a review of Resident 11's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order dated 9/23/2024 to admit Resident 11 in the facility under the care of HP 1 for routine level of care with

a primary diagnosis of cerebral infarction (also known as stroke, loss of blood flow to apart of the brain).

During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/3/2025 at 11:48 a.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 11's hospice binder including the calendar of visits from 9/23/2024 to 1/3/2025, sign in and out sheets for the RN, LVN, and HA from 9/23/2024 to 1/3/2025, POC Summary, and progress notes were reviewed. The SSD stated she is the designated facility representative to coordinate with the hospice providers. The SSD verified:

- The calendar of visits indicated HP 1 RN was scheduled to visit Resident 11 on 11/4/2024 and the HP 1 HA was scheduled to visit on 12/23/2024 and 1/2/2025. The SSD verified the RN did not sign in on 11/4/2024 and the HA on 12/23/2024 and 1/2025. The SSD verified the POC summary indicated RN visits 2x a week and HA visits 3x a week. The SSD stated HP 1 RN and HA should have visited Resident 11 on 11/4/2024, 12/23/2024, and 1/2/2024 according to the calendar of visits to ensure Resident 11's needs were assessed and met to prevent delay in the provision of care the resident needs.

- The SSD verified there were no HP 1 RN/LVN and HA notes in Resident 11's clinical record. The SSD stated she was not sure, but she knows HP 1 do not place their progress notes in the binder. The SSD stated the Medical Records Director (MRD) audits the clinical records to ensure it was readily available for all staff so we would be aware of what services were provided to Resident 11 while HP 1 RN and HA were in

the facility and to ensure Resident 11 receives the necessary care the resident needs.

During an interview on 1/3/2024 at 12:13 p.m., the MRD stated HP 1 did not provide or place the progress notes for Resident 11 in the hospice binder. The MRD stated per HP 1, the hospice binder would be thick if

the notes were placed in the binder. The MRD stated he can scan and upload the progress notes on Resident 11's electronic health record (EHR). The MRD stated the progress notes should have been readily available so the staff would be aware of what care was provided to the resident.

During an interview on 1/3/2025 at 3 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) hospice providers have a schedule of visits provided to the facility and should be followed accordingly. the DON stated if HP 1 staff are not able to visit as scheduled, it should be indicated in the notes or in the calendar. The DON stated the RN/LVN and HA notes were supposed to be part of the resident's medical record. The DON stated the progress notes can be scanned and uploaded in the EHR. The DON stated the HP 1 RN should have visited Resident 11 as scheduled on 11/4/2024 and the HA on 12/23/2024 and 1/2/2025 to ensure Resident 11's needs and services required were met. The DON stated the RN/LVN and HA notes should have been readily available

in Resident 11's medical record regardless if it was paper or in the EHR. The staff would be aware of the services provided to the resident by HP 1 staff as not knowing places Resident 11 at risk for a delay in the provision of care and services needed.
