Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 51920
Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of 12 final sampled residents (Resident 1) received the appropriate treatment and services to prevent
the occurrences of complications from the GT feeding.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 1's head of bed was positioned safely at 30 to 45 degrees during the GT feeding to reduce the risk of aspiration. In addition, the facility failed to ensure Resident 1's tube feeding formula was properly labeled. These failures posed the risk for developing complications related to GT feedings, which had the potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being.
Findings:
Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 2/20/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED].
Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 3/6/21, showed Resident 1 had no capacity to understand and make decisions.
a. Review of the facility's P&P titled Enteral Tube Feeding via Continuous Pump dated 3/2022 showed to position the head of the bed at 30 - 45 (semi-Fowler's position) for feeding unless medically contraindicated.

* The facility failed to ensure Resident 7's cool aerosol therapy (treatment that uses mist of medicine to help relieve upper airway issues by loosening phlegm) plastic bag was dated as per the facility's P&P.
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 9's suction canister (bottle connected to suction machine to collect the secretions like phlegm, mucous during suctioning ) was dated when it was installed and hooked to the suction machine (medical device that removes obstructions from a patient's airway by clearing from secretions).
These failures had the potential for increased risk of infection.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Changing Respiratory Equipment revised 1/2025 showed the purpose of
the P&P is to provide guidelines for changing respiratory therapy equipment. Continuous aerosol therapy equipment will be changed every seven days and PRN. All equipment will be dated including the tracheostomy collar. Aerosols will be issued sterile prefilled water and that is to be changed when empty or up to 48 hours of use. Suction canisters will be changed by nursing weekly and as needed. All disposable equipment will be dated when changed.

* The facility failed to monitor the episodes of OMS as one of the behavior manifestations and side effect monitoring for alprazolam (anxiety medication) and sertraline (antidepressant medication) medications for Resident 273. In addition, both medications had the same indication. This failure had the potential for inaccurate behavior and side effects monitoring, which might cause the physician for not having the necessary information to determine the effectiveness of the medications for Resident 273.
Findings:
Medical review of Resident 273 was initiated on 2/19/25. Resident 273 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED].
Review of the Order summary Report dated 2/21/25, showed a physician's order dated 2/19/25, to administer alprazolam oral tablet 0.25 mg via GT two times a day for OMS for 30 Days. The summary report also showed a physician's order dated 2/20/25, to administer sertraline hydrochloride 50 mg by mouth one time a day for OMS for five days, then give 75 mg by mouth one time a day.
On 2/24/25 at 1000 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 273 was conducted with RN 4. RN 4 stated there was no monitoring of the behavior for the use of sertraline medication. RN 4 acknowledged the behavior monitoring for the alprazolam medication was not accurate in
the physician's order and the order was not specific. RN 4 acknowledged both medications had the same indication for use and it would be difficult to monitor the effectiveness of the medication. RN 4 stated there was no side effect monitoring for the two medications. RN 4 verified the above findings.
On 2/24/25 at 1100 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review with LVN 6 was conducted. LVN 6 was asked which behaviors they were monitoring for the use of alprazolam and sertraline medications. LVN 6 stated it was for OMS. LVN 6 was not sure what specific behaviors to monitor for the use of the two medications. After reviewing the TAR, LVN 6 stated they monitored for 'call out' behavior for alprazolam medication. LVN 6 acknowledged the physician's order did not specify the behaviors monitoring for the use of the alprazolam and sertraline medications. LVN 6 verified the findings.

Residents Affected - Few Based on interview and facility document review, the facility failed to submit the complete and accurate direct care staffing information to CMS. This failure posed the risk of inaccurate auditable data reporting.
Findings:
Review of the CMS CASPER reports showed the facility triggered a One-Star Staffing Rating due to the failure to submit data for the quarter from 7/1/24 to 9/20/24.
Review the Pediatric Monthly Subacute Staffing Report showed the following:
- For September 2024, the RN and LVN hours were within the requirement. However, there were 17 days that the CNA hours were below the minimum, for a total of 167.66 hours below the minimum.
- For October 2024, the RN and LVN hours were within the requirement. However, there were nine days that
the CNA hours were below the minimum, for a total of 76.68 hours below the minimum.
- For November 2024, the RN and LVN hours were within the requirement. However, there were five days that the CNA hours were below the minimum, for a total of 30.10 hours below the minimum.
- For December 2024, the RN and LVN hours were within the requirement. However, there were five days that the CNA hours were below the minimum, for a total of 37.99 hours below the minimum.
- For January 2025, the RN and LVN hours were within the requirement. However, there were 16 days that
the CNA hours were below the minimum, for the a total of 100.31 hours below the minimum.
There were negative variances of the CNA hours for the months mentioned above; however, there were excess nursing hours; therefore, the nursing staff assisted the residents with resident care.
On 2/21/25 at 1109 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the CEO. When asked about the data submitted to CMS related to the payroll and reports generated triggering extremely low staffing on weekends, the CEO stated she submitted the PBJ electronically in October 2024 but did not submit it in the required XML format. The CEO stated the submitted PBJ was rejected, but she did not notice the rejection initially. The CEO stated when she found out it was rejected, she tried to resubmit
the PBJ but was not able to. The CEO stated the October 2024 PBJ was submitted on 10/25/24 (Friday), and
the facility tried resubmitting on 10/28/24 (Monday); however, there was no option to resubmit the PBJ. The CEO stated the facility was unable to contact CMS to obtain the information on how to resubmit the PBJ because there was no contact information available. When asked to provide the documentation of the October 2024 PBJ rejection notice, the CEO was unable to show or provide the copy. The CEO stated when
