Staff T then asked Resident 78 why they used the hot pad, and Resident 78 stated, When I get pain to the side and pointed to the left stomach area. Staff T then asked the Surveyor, Do we need to get rid of that [the hot pad]? Staff T stated they knew of no other residents that used a hot pad and confirmed
they were aware Resident 78 used the hot pad prior to 02/28/2025. Staff T stated, I thought it was just for comfort to be honest. Staff T stated that some of the risks of using heating pads without monitoring included,
They get too hot if they turn it up too high. Burns from not checking it often. Staff T stated they, Usually make sure the aides are aware of [the hot pad] and check on it a lot make sure it's not too hot. Find out if [Resident 78] is physically able to manage it. Staff T again asked the Surveyor, Should I get rid of it? I'll double check with my boss.

This failure placed the resident at risk for complications related to their PICC including blood stream infections, blood clots, or inflammation of the vein.
Findings included .
The 2011 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections, updated October 2017, retrieved at https://www.cdc. gov/infection-control/hcp/intravascular-catheter-related-infection/index.html documented the following recommendations: replace transparent dressings used on central venous catheters at least every 7 days or if
it becomes loosened, damp, or visibly soiled, and promptly remove any intravascular (inside a vein) catheter that is no longer essential.
The 2015 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology Guide to Preventing Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections recommended the transparent dressing be changed every 7 days, and that a daily assessment of the necessity of the catheter be performed and the catheter be removed promptly if no longer essential.
<Resident 52>
The 02/04/2025 re-admission assessment documented Resident 52 had diagnoses that included fractured ribs and empyema (pockets of infection between the lung and the chest wall). Resident 52 was cognitively intact, made decisions regarding their care and received antibiotics through a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC line).
A review of the 01/30/2025 care plan revealed there were no goals or interventions developed related to the management of Resident 52's PICC line.
Resident 52 had the following provider orders:

F 0694 During an interview on 03/05/2025 at 11:20 AM, Staff F, Resident Care Manager, stated a PICC dressing change was considered a procedure that required sterile technique and if Licensed Practical Nurses were Level of Harm - Minimal harm or not comfortable changing them, there were other nurses that were able. Staff F stated PICC lines were potential for actual harm removed when the antibiotics therapy had been completed, or as soon as it was determined that the infection was cured. Staff F stated they expected PICC dressing changes to be completed every 7 days as ordered. Residents Affected - Few This was important because residents that had PICC lines were already being treated for infections so were already at risk for other infections. Staff F stated they assumed there could be a risk to a resident if an occluded PICC line was not removed promptly, but they were unaware what those complications were. Staff F knew there had been Cathflo ordered but had not been aware that it was not given. Staff F stated they were unaware if nurses had completed competencies for the management and care of a resident with a PICC line but they did not think so. Staff F stated, We do not do competencies that I am aware of. That would be a good one.
On 03/06/2025 at 10:32 AM, Staff D, Infection Prevention stated best practice was for PICC dressings to be changed weekly. They had changed the dressing for Resident 52 on 02/25/2025 and had also removed the resident' s PICC. Staff D stated the PICC was not removed sooner as there had been speculation that maybe Resident 52 was going to need more antibiotics. Staff D stated they had been told on Monday, 03/03/2025 that the PICC was occluded, but did not think leaving it in after it became occluded was a risk for
the resident. They expected there would be a progress note regarding the Cathflo, and whether it was effective in re-opening the PICC or not. Staff D stated they were not part of providing competencies for the nursing staff.

Review of a [DATE REDACTED] hospital History and Physical document showed Resident 6 experienced sudden losses of relatives or spouse at a young age. Resident 6 also experienced gunshot wounds to the chest which left
the resident unable to perform their job any longer.
Review of a [DATE REDACTED] facility Social History Assessment showed a questionnaire for Significant Life Events.
The questionnaire asked about a number of difficult or stressful things that sometimes happen to people. All
the events, to include, Assault with a weapon and Sudden, unexpected death of someone close to you were marked as Not sure.
Review of the medical record showed four emergency contacts and relatives of Resident 6 listed.

Specifically, Resident 44 fell and broke their hip, and had continued falls and the care plan was not updated. Additionally, Resident 35 was newly diagnosed with Addison's disease (when the adrenal glands are damaged and do not produce enough hormones to regulate blood pressure, water and salt balance, and respond to stress), and disease related interventions were not added to the residents care plan. These failures put the residents at risk for unmet care needs and unintended health consequences.

After Resident 44 fell and fractured their femur on 08/10/2024, their care plan related to their fall risk was not updated until 11/18/2024.
A review of the comprehensive care plan showed on 11/18/2024, a fall care plan was initiated for Resident 44, that documented the resident had an unwitnessed fall and was at risk for injury, pain and recurring falls. Staff were instructed to anticipate the resident's need, keep the call light in reach, explain procedures and provide reassurance during mobility tasks to alleviate fear of falling, keep personal items within reach, provide proper footwear, remind/cue the resident to ask for assistance, monitor for complications from falls and notify the provider if observed. On 01/09/2025, the care plan was updated to include remind the resident to use the call light and wait for assistance prior to attempting to transfer. On 02/04/2025, the care plan was updated to include remind the resident to call for assistance.

When asked if they had ever fallen, they stated they had fallen but was unable to remember when. Resident 44 stated nothing got broken when they fell , but it never felt good.
During an interview on 03/04/25 at 8:56 AM, Staff B, Director of Nursing, stated if a resident fell and broke their leg, they would expect to see changes to the resident's plan of care. Staff B stated the incident occurred
during a time of transition of facility ownership and there was a period that documentation was completed on paper. Staff B stated they would attempt to see if they could locate additional documentation regarding Resident 44's care plan.
During an interview on 03/04/2025 at 9:30 AM, Staff Y, Nursing Assistant, stated they remembered when Resident 44 fell and broke their leg. Staff Y stated the resident used to be and was still impulsive and tried to sit on the edge of the bed and holler. Staff Y stated they tell Resident 44 to wait until they get there, and if
they do not get there timely the resident tried to get up. Staff Y stated Resident 44 probably did not know what their call bell was for most of the time.
During an interview with Staff F, Resident Care Manager (RCM), and Staff G, RCM, on 03/05/2025 at 10:14 AM, Staff G stated a fall with major injury was reviewed in the morning meetings with the interdisciplinary team. Staff G stated the MDS (Minimum Data Set) coordinators initiated the resident care plans. The RCMs might add a few interventions, or they emailed the MDS coordinator when an incident occurred so the MDS coordinator could update the care plan.

The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear. The tolerance of soft tissue for pressure and Residents Affected - Few shear may also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion [flow of fluid or blood to cells and tissues], comorbid condition [medical conditions that coexist and affect health and treatment], and condition of the soft tissue. Stage 1 pressure injury: intact skin with a localized area of non-blanching erythema [redness that does not disappear when pressure is applied to the area]. Stage 2 pressure injury: partial thickness [involving epidermis and/or dermis] loss of skin with exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, moist, and may also present as an intact or ruptured serum-filled blister. Stage 3 pressure injury: full thickness [wound that extends below the epidermis and dermis into the subcutaneous tissue or deeper] skin loss, in which adipose (fat) or granulation [new connective tissue] tissue is visible in the ulcer. Stage 4 pressure injury: full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia [connective tissue], muscle, tendon [strong cords of tissue that connect muscle to bones], ligament [bands that connect bones and joints], cartilage [tough, flexible connective tissue that protects bones and joints, and provides structure to the nose and ears], or bone in the ulcer. Unstageable pressure injury: full thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough [dead skin or tissue that can appear in a wound] or eschar [dead tissue that forms over healthy skin and eventually falls off]. Deep Tissue Pressure Injury [DTPI]: intact or nonintact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration, or epidermal separation reveling a dark wound bed or blood-filled blister.

Staff E explained when an air mattress was used for skin integrity it was typically just care planned, and no provider order or consent was obtained. Staff H stated air mattresses were set up by restorative nursing staff or maintenance staff and settings determined based on the resident's comfort level. Staff H reviewed Resident 1's medical record. Staff H stated Resident 1 had MASD to their buttock that deteriorated into a pressure injury last year because of refusal to reposition. Documentation of quarterly risk versus benefit education was requested at that time.

Residents Affected - Few Based on observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that controlled medications were tracked, and controlled medications for discharged residents were discarded, in 1 of 2 medication rooms (North Hall) inspected. This failure placed the facility at risk for drug diversion.
Findings included .
On [DATE REDACTED] at 8:40 AM, the North Hall medication room was inspected with Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse/ Resident Care Manager (LPN/RCM.) In the locked narcotic box in the refrigerator, the following medications were found for two residents:
Resident 999
1) an unopened, full sealed bottle of liquid Morphine (a narcotic pain medication) that was filled on [DATE REDACTED].
2) an unopened, full sealed bottle of liquid Lorazepam (a controlled anti-anxiety medication) that was filled on [DATE REDACTED].
3) a medication card contained 10 Dronabinol 5 milligram (mg) capsules (used to treat nausea and stimulate appetite) was filled on [DATE REDACTED] and had expired on [DATE REDACTED].
Resident 998
4) an unopened, full sealed bottle of liquid Lorazepam that was filled on [DATE REDACTED].
During a concurrent interview, Staff F stated that all medications that were locked in the narcotic box, had a page number (written on the medication) that corresponded to the page number in the narcotic book and was counted every shift. The bottles of Lorazepam and Morphine did not have a page numbers on them, and the Dronabinol had page number 140 on the card. Additionally, Staff F stated all 4 of the medications definitely should have been counted every shift. Per Staff F, the bottles of Morphine and Lorazepam likely were not entered into the narcotic book, and they thought that Resident 999 and 998 were discharged a while back.
A review of Resident 999's medical record showed that the resident had discharged on [DATE REDACTED] (almost five months ago) and had been on the 300 Hall.
A review of Resident 998's medical record showed the resident had discharged on [DATE REDACTED] (over seven months ago) and had been on the 100 Hall.
During an interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 11:29 AM, Staff P, LPN stated there were currently no narcotics on the 100 Hall that were in the refrigerator.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 46033 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medications were Residents Affected - Few administered according to the provider's order for 2 of 7 sampled residents (Residents 95 and 102) reviewed for medication administration. Specifically, multiple doses of a medication that treated Resident 95's lupus (the body's immune system attacks it's own healthy tissues causing pain and swelling) were omitted. Additionally, medication to control Resident 102's heart rate was not held when hold parameters were met.
This failure placed the residents at risk for unintended health consequences from omitted doses, and medication side effects when medications were not held as ordered.
Findings included .
<Resident 95>
A review of the 02/14/2025 quarterly assessment documented Resident 95 had diagnoses that included lupus and drug-induced suppression of the immune system. Resident 95 was cognitively intact and frequently had pain that interfered with therapy and day-to-day activities.
The 11/19/2024 care plan documented Resident 95 was at risk for pain and discomfort. Staff were instructed to administer medications as ordered, monitor for medication side effect and notify the provider if observed, position for comfort, and assess for the presence of pain every shift.
A review of the January 2025 and February 2025 medication administration records (MARs) documented Resident 95 was to receive Cellcept, (a medication to treat lupus that reduced overactive immune system activity) daily at bedtime.
Further review of the MARs documented Resident 95 did not receive Cellcept on 01/31/2025, 02/01/2025, 02/02/2025, 02/08/2025, 02/09/2025, 02/10/2025, 02/16/2025, 02/17/2025, and 02/18/2025 . A code 9 was entered on the MAR on those dates. The key on the MAR defined the code 9 as Other/see Nurses Notes. Corresponding progress notes documented the medication was not available, was ordered from the pharmacy, had not been delivered and was unavailable in the Cubex (a medication storage unit that held extra doses of commonly ordered medications).
On 02/25/2025 at 2:06 PM, Resident 95 was seated in their wheelchair at the dining table in the common area of the nursing unit. Resident 95 stated they had pain and took medication for lupus. Resident 95 stated that several times during their stay, the facility had run out of the medication and it caused them to have more pain. They stated the longest they went without it was four days.

F 0760 During an interview on 03/05/2025 at 11:33 AM, Staff F, Resident Care Manager, stated for specialty medications like Resident 95's Cellcept, they received an order from the provider and the order is sent to the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or pharmacy. Staff F stated after review, the medication might need a prior authorization before the pharmacy potential for actual harm will dispense it. A form is filled and sent back to the pharmacy and, if all is complete, the medication is sent to
the facility. Staff F reviewed the February 2025 MARs and progress notes and agreed there had been Residents Affected - Few omissions of the medication. They stated they expected to see more documentation that the nurses contacted the pharmacy or notified the provider if the medication was unavailable so adjustments to the medication could be made, or other arrangements to obtain the medication could be made. Staff F stated if Resident 95 missed doses of Cellcept, it could cause a flare-up of their lupus and that could cause the resident increased pain, inflammation, fatigue, or many other concerns.
<Resident 102>
A review of the 01/20/2025 admission assessment documented Resident 102 had diagnoses that included rapid atrial fibrillation (AFIB, a rapid irregular heartbeat) and stroke. Resident 102 was able to make decisions regarding their care and required substantial assistance of staff for activities of daily living.
A review of the 01/14/2025 hospital discharge summary documented Resident 102 was found down at their home for an undetermined amount of time and was taken to the hospital. The resident was diagnosed with a stroke and AFIB. The AFIB was initially treated with medication named Cardizem to control the fast heartbeat and was eventually switched to amiodarone. The amiodarone provided good rate control. Eventually the resident was discharged to the facility.
On 01/15/2025, an order was received to give Resident 102 amiodarone once a day. The order instructed staff to take the resident's pulse and blood pressure before administration. The medication was to be held if
the heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute, or if the systolic blood pressure (SBP, the top number of a blood pressure reading) was less than 110, and the provider was to be notified.
A review of the February 2025 MAR showed Resident 102's SBP reading was below 110 but the amiodarone was still given on 02/17/2025, 02/18/2025, 02/20/2025, 02/21/2025, 02/24/2025 and 02/25/2025.
During an interview on 03/05/2025 at 9:25 AM, Staff P, Licensed Practical Nurse, reviewed the MAR and stated they had just begun their employment at the facility on the dates mentioned and did not realize the amiodarone was to be held if the SBP was below 110. Staff P stated they had not discussed the low readings with the provider and if a resident had low blood pressure, they would want to make sure the resident was not having any symptoms. Staff P stated they should have held the amiodarone. They stated there were frequent interruptions that prevented them from concentrating when giving medications.
During an interview on 03/05/2025 at 10:41 AM, Staff F stated when there are parameters ordered for a medication, the medication needed to be held, and the provider was to be notified. This allowed the provider to change the dose if necessary. If the medication was given, staff needed to monitor the resident to make sure their blood pressure or heart rate did not get even lower.

In an observation and interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 3:16 PM, Resident 35 was lying in bed and watching television. Resident 35 stated the quality and taste of the food had diminished over the past year. Resident 35 explained the meat (i.e., chicken, hamburger patties) was extremely overcooked and so tough they could not chew it, the vegetables were mushy, and desserts were even worse because there was often cake without icing.
In an observation on [DATE REDACTED] at 1:02 PM, Resident 35 was sitting up in their bed with their lunch tray on the table in front of them. The meal served was beef stroganoff with noodles, peas, a roll, cake and 1 cup of milk.
The beef stroganoff looked like chunky gravy with barely any meat, all the peas were welted like raisins, and
the cake looked dry with a thin layer of icing. Resident 35 only ate the noodles, half of the roll, cake, and drank half of their milk.
In an observation and interview on [DATE REDACTED] at 10:15 AM, Resident 35 was lying in bed making jewelry. Resident 35 stated last night's dinner was the worst meal they had been served. Resident 35 explained the chicken was so dry they could not swallow it, the vegetables were cooked to oblivion, the rice was undercooked, and the dessert was a version of a smashed flat chocolate peanut butter candy bar.

Specifically, Resident 104 was sent to the local hospital for urgent treatment and the medical
record did not include events leading to the resident's decline and need for transfer. This failure created a risk for incomplete sharing of vital information with care givers across levels of care and lack of evidence of care provided.
Findings included .
A review of the 01/30/2025 five-day assessment documented Resident 104 had diagnoses that included stroke and difficult swallowing. Resident 104 required substantial staff assistance for their activities of daily living and was able to make decisions regarding their care.
On 03/03/2025 at 9:07 AM, it was observed that Resident 104 was not present in their room and the nursing unit. When asked, Staff Y, Nursing Assistant, stated they heard Resident 104 had been vomiting blood and was sent to the hospital, but they were unsure.
During an interview on 03/03/2025 at 9:10 AM, Staff P, Licensed Practical Nurse, stated the report they received was that Resident 104 had vomited and there was blood in it, so they were sent to the hospital at around 4:30 AM that morning.
A review of progress notes documented the resident was last seen by the facility Physician Assistant on 02/28/2025. A 02/28/2025 nursing progress note documented the resident's care plan was updated to show female care givers only. A 03/03/2025 at 11:29 AM progress note documented the hospital had called and notified that Resident 104 was being admitted .
The 03/02/2025 eINTERACT facility to hospital transfer form documented Resident 104 was sent to the hospital at 4:50 PM that day. The Reason for Transfer area was blank.
There were no entries in the record from 02/28/2025 to 03/03/2025 that described events of the resident's decline, who was notified, any interventions that had been attempted, any provider notification, any orders given to intercede on the resident's behalf and what information had been provided to the hospital regarding
the resident's clinical situation.
During an interview on 03/05/2025 at 10:54 AM, Staff F, Resident Care Manager, stated they believed Resident 104 left the facility early on 03/03/2025 before 6:00 AM. Staff F stated the resident had nausea and vomiting and there was some blood in it. Staff F reviewed the resident's record and stated they did not see any documentation regarding that. Staff F stated they expected staff to document the events that lead up to
the resident's transfer to the hospital, any notifications to the providers, and any other relevant information. Staff F stated, It was important because people would come in and want to know what happened to the resident.

The Centers for disease Control (CDC) 2007 Guideline for Isolation Precautions: Preventing Transmission of infectious Agents in Healthcare Settings updated September 2004 retrieved from https://www.cdc. gov/infection-control/hcp/isolation-precautions/index.html documented Standard Precautions were recommended the use of gloves, disposable gowns, masks, or protective eyewear in any setting where there would be exposure to any body fluid. Contact precautions were recommended when the presence of excessive wound drainage, incontinence of stool or other discharges from the body created an increased potential for extensive environmental contamination. Implementation of Contact Precautions included donning a gown and gloves for all patient interactions upon room entry and discarding before exiting the room to help contain pathogens (viruses or bacteria that are highly contagious and cause illness) especially those transmitted through environmental spread including noroviruses and other intestinal pathogens.
The CDC Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, gloves, disposable gowns, eye protection or masks, for example) Use in Nursing Homes to prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms updated July 12, 2002, retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/ppe.html recommended use of Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) as an infection control intervention that employed targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when Contact Precautions do not apply for residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices such as feeding tubes or catheters.

The care plan did not include instructions for staff to use EBP.
During an observation on 02/24/2025 at 10:21 AM, Resident 105's wound care was observed with Staff D, Infection Preventionist and a wound specialist staff.
