Review of Resident 2's H&P examination dated 11/14/24, showed Resident 2 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Resident 2's diagnoses included End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, high blood pressure, and history of diabetes.

Review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report showed the following physician's orders:- dated 11/9/24, for amlodipine (blood pressure medication) 10 mg daily for hypertension, with instructions to hold if Resident 2's systolic blood pressure was less than 110 mmHg; and- dated 2/1/25, no blood pressure readings to be obtained from Resident 2's hemodialysis access site on the left arm.

Review of Resident 2's Physician Progress Note dated 9/9/25, showed Resident 2's plan of treatment included the monitoring of Resident's 2 blood pressure for his high blood pressure diagnosis. On 9/18/25 at 1530 hours, concurrent interview and medical record review was conducted with LVN 1 and the DON.

When asked what machine was used to obtain Resident 2's blood pressure readings, LVN 1 stated she used a wrist blood pressure machine.

When asked which arm LVN 1 used to obtain the blood pressure readings, LVN 1 stated Resident 2 would offer the arm where he wanted to have his blood pressure readings done.

The DON stated the nurses were to use the facility's blood pressure machines, not a wrist blood pressure machine.

The DON also stated the nurses should check the orders to ensure the blood pressures were obtained as ordered by the physician.

The DON and LVN 1 verified Resident 2 had an order to not have his blood pressure obtained from Resident 2's left arm hemodialysis access site.

The findings reflect what state surveyors documented in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies on the date of the inspection.

Plan of correction not included: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.

Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued. We publish what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
