-Ensure the Controlled Drug Record form (CDR, an accountability record of medications that are considered to have a strong potential for abuse) coincided with the Medication Administration Record (MAR, a log initialed and/or signed by the nurse with the date and time each time a medication is administered to a resident) for an administered dose of a controlled medication, (Oxycodone/acetaminophen [APAP] is a combination medicine used to help treat severe pain) 10 mg per 325 mg [10-325 mg] on 3/28/2025 at 8:20 PM for Resident 80.
-Ensure an accurate accountability of the inventory of a controlled medication Ativan (Lorazepam, use to treat seizures, a sudden, temporary disruption of normal brain activity) 20 mg per 10 milliliter (ml, unit of measurement by volume) was maintained at all times including delivery to the facility and administration of
the medication to Resident 18.
-Ensure Resident 18 was reassessed for effectiveness of as needed (PRN) when administered Ativan for seizure control within 30 minutes and not over 15 hours later.
-Ensure the prescription label, the Medication Administration Record (MAR) and the current physician's order matched for Resident 18's controlled medication, Ativan.
-Ensure Resident 6 and Resident 73 had rotation of injection sites for insulin administration.
These deficient practices had the potential for discoloration of skin and hardening of the injection sites for Resident 6 and Resident 73, created the potential for unsafe medication administration of necessary medications to Resident 80 and Resident 18, had the potential for inability to readily identify loss and drug diversion (illegal distribution of abuse of prescription drugs or their use for unintended purposes) of controlled medications, and resulted in an increased risk for inaccurate reconciliation of controlled medications in the facility.

F 0756 Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 43851
Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to clarify the physician's orders for hydrocortisone cream (a topical steroid cream applied to the skin to reduce inflammation, redness, itching and swelling) as recommended by the facility's consultant pharmacist (a healthcare professional, who provides specialized expertise to healthcare facilities, typically focusing on ensuring the safe and effective use of medications)
during the Monthly Medication Regimen Review (MRR, when a consultant pharmacist reviews and analyzes
a resident's medication list, ensuring that the medications are appropriate, effective, and safe) dated 1/13/2025, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 49) reviewed for Unnecessary Medications and Medication Regimen Review.
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 49 to experience adverse effects (undesired and harmful effects that occur because of a medication, treatment, or procedure) from hydrocortisone cream such as skin thinning, skin irritation and/or skin infection.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 49's Admission Record, the Admission Record indicated the facility readmitted
the resident on 9/12/2024 with diagnoses that included Type 2 diabetes (DM, a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), rash (an abnormal skin condition, often characterized by redness, irritation, bumpy, or itchy skin), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality).
During a review of Resident 49's physician's order dated 9/12/2024, the order indicated the resident was to receive 1 % hydrocortisone cream to the right side of his nose and face every 6 hours as needed for itching.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 31333 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's medication error Residents Affected - Few rate (observed or identified preparation or administration of medications or biologicals which was not in accordance with the physician's order, manufacturer's specifications for the preparation and administration of
the medication or biological, and professional standards of practice) was not five percent (5%) or greater. There were seven medication errors out of 28 opportunities (observations during medication administration) for error, to yield a cumulative error rate of 25 % for one of four sampled residents (Resident 80) observed
during the medication administration.
These deficient practices had the potential to result in harm to Resident 80 by not meeting the residents' individual medication and therapeutic needs (the specific types of treatments or interventions that are necessary to address a person's medical condition or improve their overall well-being).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 80's Admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 80 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses that included hypertension (HTN, high blood pressure), dependence on respiratory (ventilator, relies on a machine to breathe and cannot breathe independently) status, and gastrotomy tube (G-tube, a surgically placed tube that provides direct access to the stomach for feeding, hydration, or medication administration).
During a review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 3/27/2025,
the MDS indicated the resident's cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) was intact. The MDS indicated the resident required between moderate to totally dependent
on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs - basic tasks that must be accomplished every day for an individual to thrive).
During a review of Resident 80's April 2025 Physician's Order Summary Report, the report included the following physician's orders:
-Amlodipine (use to treat hypertension [HTN], high blood pressure), Oral Tablet 5 mg, dated 12/23/2024, administer one tablet via G-Tube once per day (9 AM) for HTN. Hold for Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP, when
the heart contracts and pumps blood) less than 110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or Heart Rate (HR) - the number of times the heart beats per minute [bpm]) less than 60 bpm.
-Vitamin D3 Oral Capsule 125 mcg (5000 IU), dated 1/21/2025, give one capsule via G-Tube once a day (9 AM) for Vitamin D deficiency.
-Ferrous Sulfate (helps red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues and organs) Oral Solution 220 mg/5 ml, dated 4/4/2025, give 7.5 ml via G-Tube once a day (9 AM) for Anemia Give 7.5 ml=330 mg. Shake bottle well.

During an observation of medication administration for Resident 80 on 4/21/2025, between 11:33 AM to 12:14 PM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 was observed preparing the above medications for the 9 AM scheduled medication administration via G-tube.
During an interview on 4/21/2025, at 11:33 AM, LVN 2 stated the medications prepared for Resident 80 were to be administered at 9 AM and should have been given to Resident 80 by 10 AM. LVN 2 confirmed a total of eight morning medications were prepared for the resident.
During an observation in Resident 80's room on 4/21/2025 at 12 PM, Resident 80 was observed awake, alert, and responded to LVN 2 by nodding his head. LVN 2 administered each medication via the residents' G-tube one by one, flushing with water before and in between each medication, and after completion of the medication administration. LVN 2 was not observed checking the resident's blood pressure or heart rate prior to administering the blood pressure medication, Amlodipine.
During an interview on 4/21/2025 at 12:20 PM, LVN 2 stated, I have not notified my supervisor that I was running behind, and I have not called or informed the doctor yet. LVN 2 stated the Registered Nurse Practitioner (NP 1) was at the facility and had not been notified yet.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 4/21/2025 at 12:33 PM with NP 1, Resident 80's blood pressure (BP), heart rate, nursing progress notes, and medication administration records were reviewed for 4/21/2025. Resident 80's BP was documented at 8:04 AM on 4/21/2025 as 138 mmHg/80 mmHg (systolic pressure, top number measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats; diastolic pressure, bottom number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg). NP 1 stated the licensed nurse (LVN 2) should have checked Resident 80's BP before administering
the BP medication, Amlodipine, because the licensed nurse needed to know the resident's BP and HR
before giving the BP medications.
NP 1 stated the licensed nurse (LVN 2) should not give BP medication based on BP or HR taken hours earlier as the vital signs (reflect essential body functions, including the heartbeat, breathing rate, temperature, and blood pressure) might not have been accurate. NP 1 stated administering Resident 80's Amlodipine too close to the next scheduled BP medication, Metoprolol, scheduled for administration at 2 PM, could cause a drop in the resident HR and cause bradycardia (a heart rate that is slower than normal, generally defined as less than 60 beats per minute (bpm) for adults). NP 1 stated that was the reason the medications (Amlodipine and Metoprolol) were scheduled at different times.

During an interview on 4/21/2025 at 12:39 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) 1 stated LVN 2 should have informed Residents Affected - Few her that LVN 2 was running late during medication pass before passing the 9 AM medications to Resident 80. RN 1 stated Resident 80's physician had to be informed to make sure there were no contraindications with other medications and to allow the physician to adjust medication administration as needed.
During an interview on 4/21/2025 at 3:56 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident 80's BP should have been taken prior to administering BP medications with a parameter (fixed high and low limits in which blood pressure must be to safely administer the medication) to determine when to give or hold a BP medication. The DON stated the facility's policy was to give residents their medications within one hour
before or after the scheduled administration time and the nurses had to inform the NP or physician if medications could not be administered on time.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/21/2025 at 3:56 PM, with the DON, Resident 80's April 2025 Physician's Orders were reviewed and indicated: Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg, give one tablet via G-tube every eight hours (6 AM, 2 PM, and 10 PM) for HTN. Hold for SBP less than 110 mm Hg or HR less than 60 bpm, order dated 12/23/2024. The DON stated if another medication was due soon after the late medication was administered there could be an overlap of BP medications and the effect of the combined BP medications could have a greater effect on the residents that could lead to confusion, lethargy (sleepiness), or a stroke (occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted). The DON stated if medications were not given as scheduled, the physician had to be notified.
During an interview on 4/23/2025, at 2:41 PM with the facility's Medical Director (MDR), the MDR stated the physician should have been informed if Resident 80 was going to receive medications later than scheduled.
The MDR stated the reason for checking the resident's BP before giving the BP medication was to ensure
the licensed nurse followed the parameters that were listed on the physician's order.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Administering Medications, revision date 4/2019 indicated medications were administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. Staffing schedules were arranged to ensure that medications were administered without unnecessary interruptions. Medications were administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame. Medications were administered within one (1) hour of their prescribed time, unless otherwise specified (for example,
before and after meal orders). The following information was checked/verified for each resident prior to administering medications, vital signs if necessary.

F 0803 Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 38740
Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the Reduced Concentrated Sweets (RCS) diet for blood sugar control, according to the facility's food portioning and serving guide spreadsheet instructions. By failing to ensure residents on RCS diets did not receive garlic bread for lunch on 4/21/2025. This deficient practice could result in increased blood sugar levels for 13 of 64 residents who were on RCS diet.
Findings:
A review of the facility lunch menu for regular and RCS diets on 4/21/2025 indicated the following items were to be served: Regular diet: Spaghetti with meat sauce 1 cup, tossed salad with dressing 1 cup, garlic bread 1 each, Strawberry poke cake 1 square, and water. RCS diet: Spaghetti with meat sauce 1 cup, tossed salad with dressing 1 cup, strawberry poke cake 1/2 square, and water.
During an observation of the tray line service for lunch (a system of food preparation, in which trays move along an assembly line) on 4/21/2025 at 11:45 AM, both regular and RCS diets were observed receiving garlic bread.
During a review of the facility's lunch meal food portioning and serving guide spreadsheet, the spreadsheet indicated RCS diet was not to receive garlic bread.
During a concurrent observation and interview with Dietary Aide (DA) 2 on 4/21/2025 at 12:30 PM, DA 2 stated his job was to look at the diets and serve the side dishes such as salad, dessert and bread that went
on each resident tray along with the main meal. DA 2 confirmed by stating he added the bread and salad to
the trays. DA 2 stated regular diets received one square of strawberry poke cake and the RCS diet received 1/2 square of strawberry poke cake.
During a concurrent review of the spreadsheet and interview with DA 2 on 4/21/2025 at 12:35 PM, DA 2 stated residents on RCS diet should not have received garlic bread and confirmed the residents were served garlic bread. DA 2 stated serving garlic bread could affect blood sugar levels.
During an interview with the Dietary Supervisor (DS) and Registered Dietitian (RD) on 4/21/2025 at 1 PM,
the DS stated garlic bread should not have been served on the RCS diet. The DS stated portions and serving directions indicated on the spreadsheet had to be followed. The RD stated staff were to follow diet spreadsheets to make sure residents received the correct nutrition per diet orders.
A review of facility policy titled, Controlled-Carbohydrate Diet, revised 2/2025 indicated Controlled Carbohydrate Diet (CC) was used to achieve and maintain sugar control alone or in conjunction with medication. This diet may be appropriate for residents with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. In this diet, priority was given to the total amount of carbohydrates consumed at each meal and snack rather than to
the specific source of carbohydrate. Portion sizes on this menu must be followed. Consistent timing of meals and snacks was also important.

in accordance with professional standards. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 38740
Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen, by failing to ensure resident cups, trays, and dishes were clean prior to removing from the dish machine and storing to air dry. This deficient practice had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to foodborne illness in 64 out 69 residents who received food from the facility kitchen.
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview in the dish washing area, with Dietary Aide (DA) 1 and Dietary Supervisor (DS) on 4/21/2025 at 9:30 AM, DA 1 was observed removing resident trays, cups and bowls from
the dishwashing machine and storing them away to air dry. Food particles were observed stuck on trays and plastic cereal bowls. DA 1 was observed removing dishes from the dish machine with visible solid waste on it and returning them to the dishwasher (DW) to be washed again. Trays and bowls were observed washed and stacked to air dry. Food residue was observed on the trays and bowls. Tape was also observed stuck on trays that were stacked away to air dry. During the same observation of the dishwashing area, there were food particles, including small white grains covering the counter where the clean dishes were removed from
the dishwashing machine.
During a concurrent observation and interview with DA 1 and DS on 4/21/2025 at 9:40 AM, DA 1 confirmed by stating she removed dishes that were dirty and returned the dirty dishes to be washed. DA 1 stated she did not see the bowls and trays with food stains that were stored away to air dry. DA 1 stated the dirty dishes were contaminated and could cause problems in residents. The DS stated the tape on the trays should have been removed before washing. The DS then returned all the trays and cereal bowls to be rewashed. The DS confirmed by stating the clean counter next to the dishwashing machine was covered with food particles. The DS stated the food particles looked like cereal from the morning breakfast. The DS stated the cereal fell from
the dishes that were coming out of the dishwashing machine.
During a concurrent interview with the DS and the dishwasher (DW) on 4/21/2025 at 9:45 AM, the DW stated breakfast for 4/21/2025 was grits (a type of creamy hot cereal) and was stuck to the dishes. The DW confirmed the trays and cereal bowls were not clean. The DW stated he should have scraped and rinsed longer before loaded into the dishwasher. The DS then instructed the DW to scrape, rinse, and remove all
the visible soil from the dishes and then load them in the dish machine. The DS instructed the DW to remove
the tape from the trays and rewash all the trays and cereal bowls. The DS then instructed DA 1 and the DW to clean and sanitize the counters before rewashing the dishes.
A review of facility policy titled, Sanitization, revised 11/2022 indicated all utensils, counters, shelves and equipment were kept clean, maintained in good repair and were free from breaks, corrosions, open seams, cracks and chipped areas that may affect their use or proper cleaning.
