sure the care plan was updated. The DON stated care plans were updated so staff had the most up to date and accurate information regarding a resident's care. 2.Record review of Resident #17's face sheet dated 09/24/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old-male with an original admission date of 09/17/21. Diagnoses included heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), and type two diabetes (insufficient insulin production in

the body). Record review of Resident #17's physician orders dated 05/07/25 reflected: Lisinopril oral tablet 10 MG by mouth one time a day for hypertension. Hold if blood pressure is less than 110/60. Record review of Resident #17's care plan initiated on 05/15/25 did not reflect the use of antihypertension medications.

Record review of Resident #17's quarterly MDS dated [DATE REDACTED] reflected a BIMS of 13 (cognition intact) and

an active diagnosis of hypertension. In an interview on 09/25/2025 at 3:15 pm, the MDS nurse stated the care plan should have been updated to reflect Resident #17's use of hypertensive medications. The MDS nurse stated she was not sure how or why it got missed but she was ultimately responsible for updating the clinical portion of the care plan, so it reflected the most current information. The MDS nurse stated if care plans were not updated accurately, residents may not get the care they needed. In an interview on 09/25/25 at 3:26 pm, the RMDS stated hypertensive medications should be care planned so staff are aware to monitor for signs and symptoms of hypertension. The RMDS stated care plans were reviewed daily but were audited approximately every 3 months. The RMDS could not state why Resident #17's hypertensive medications had not been care planned. In an interview on 09/25/2025 at 3:40 pm, the DON stated the MDS nurse updated the clinical portion of the comprehensive care plan and ultimately it was the MDS nurse's responsibility to make sure the care plan was updated.

The comprehensive, person-centered care plan will: G. Incorporate identified problem areas; H. incorporate risk factors associated with identified problems; K. reflect treatment goals, timetable and objectives in measurable outcomes; O. reflect currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions. 8. Areas of concern that are identified during the resident assessment will be evaluated before interventions are added to the care plan. 12. Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' conditions change.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on

a full time basis.

Based on Interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the director of nursing did not serve as

a charge nurse when the facility had an average daily occupancy of 60 or higher for 4 days (08/03/25, 08/11/25, 09/08/25, and 09/14/25) reviewed for DON staffing in the last 2 months. The facility failed to ensure the DON did not work as a charge nurse for 4 different shifts in August and September 2025 while

the average census was above 60. This failure could lead to dividing the DON's attention, preventing them from performing duties assigned to the DON leading to possible harm to a resident. The findings included:Record review of the daily clinical staff schedules revealed the DON was scheduled to work as charge nurse from 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM on 08/03/25 in the 100 hall, 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM on 08/11/25 in the 300 hall, 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM on 09/08/25 in the 100 hall, and 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM on 09/14/25 in the 300 hall. Record review of the resident census data from the facility revealed the daily census for 08/03/25 was 118, 08/11/25 was 121, 09/08/2025 was 116, and 09/14/25 was 116. In an interview with ADON B on 09/25/25 at 1:50 PM, ADON B stated a charge nurse was a nurse that was in charge of residents on a hall.

ADON B stated there multiple charge nurses working at a time. ADON B stated there were typically 5 charge nurses working during the 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM shift and 3 charge nurses for 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM.

ADON B stated the DON had come in and worked as a charge nurse when they were short-staffed. ADON B stated she had seen the DON working as a change nurse. ADON B stated the DON was used as a last resort to fill in as a charge nurse if they could not find anyone else. In an interview with the ADM on 09/25/25 at 3:09 PM, the ADM stated the DON has filled in as a charge nurse on the halls a few times. The ADM stated the DON was the last person on the list to call when a charge nurse was needed. The ADM stated they did not schedule the DON to work as a charge nurse ahead of time, but that he only ever filled

in for another nurse. The ADM stated if the DON was scheduled on a daily basis to work as a charge nurse

they would not be able to perform their DON duties effectively. In an interview with the DON on 09/25/25 at 3:28 PM, the DON stated he had worked as a nurse on the floor at the facility approximately four times in

the past 2 months. The DON stated when he worked as a floor nurse he was not able to perform all of his responsibilities as a DON. The DON stated he was never scheduled to work on the floor ahead of time. The DON stated he would find out he was needed to fill in as a floor nurse about an hour before he was needed to be at the facility. A facility policy was requested from the ADM on 9/25/25 at 3:40 PM regarding the DON working as a charge nurse but the ADM stated the facility did not have a policy covering that.

In an interview on 09/25/2025 at 3:55 PM, the DON stated nurses should always recheck an elevated blood pressure and administer any prn blood pressure medication the resident had. The DON also stated if a blood pressure was already elevated, and medication was not administered as ordered, the blood pressure could have continued to rise, and the resident could have had

a stroke. Record Review of the facility's Administering Medications policy, dated December 2012, reflected: Policy Statement: Medications shall be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. 3.
