During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 9:10 AM, the Medical Doctor #3 stated, [Resident #34's name] is very non complainant with her antidiabetic medication. She will often refuse and will absolutely not want insulin injections. The Glipizide orders have parameters as a request from the daughters.

During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 9:14 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, In talking to nursing staff, I think there is some confusion as to where they think they are documenting they are giving the Glipizide since the PRN order has the medication and parameters listed and then you have the PRN medication also. I spoke to [Staff D, RN's name] and that was what she was explaining to me. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 10:09 AM, Staff J, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, Usually [Resident #34's name] will refuse her medication.

When the blood pressure is too low, we hold the Carvedilol. For the Midodrine, she gets it when the bottom blood pressure is lower than 60. Midodrine we really look more at the diastolic blood pressure. The facility did an in-service and told us what we were supposed to do regarding the blood pressure medication and what parameters to use to hold it. They instructed us during the in-service to only hold and recheck before I leave. Also, report to the next shift.” During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 1:45 PM, the DON stated, “I spoke to the nurse. It was the same nurse throughout. She was confused about the perfect blood pressure and what we spoke about in the in-service.

During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:30 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, Long-acting insulins should not be held unless the doctor gives an order to hold it. If the resident refuses and is adamant that they don't want it, the nurse should educate the resident. If they have been educated and continue to refuse, the nurse should notify the doctor of the refusal and document a note. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 10:17 AM, the Medical Doctor #4 stated, Long-acting insulin should not be held. If long-acting insulin is held, the blood sugar can go high. I expect the nurses to give the long-acting insulin and not hold it. I looked at [Resident #72's name] blood sugars, and they have all been below 179, so I do not believe he has experienced any harm or consequences due to the insulin being held.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had a safe and homelike environment in 2 of 3 residential units, 200 Unit and 300 Unit (Photographic evidence obtained).

During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 11:09 AM, the rubber transition floor strip (covers floor gaps where two-floor surfaces meet) from the hallway into Resident #78's room, had a quarter-size gap between broken pieces of the strip. During an interview on 4/29/2024 at 11:10 AM, the Maintenance Director stated, There are a lot of things needing repair on this floor. A resident could fall if we don't fix it [pointing to the rubber transition floor strip for Resident #78's room). Staff need to report these things when they see it. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 11:27 AM, the rubber transition floor strip from the hallway into Residents #19 and #427's room had cracked areas of rubber separating from main floor strip.

During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 9:29 AM, Staff C, Dietary Aide, stated, I noticed the spill. I was going to tell someone when I got downstairs. I don't have a mop or anything to clean it. Spills should be addressed immediately so someone doesn't fall, that's why I was going to let someone know downstairs. During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 1:50 PM, the Assistant Administrator stated, It is everyone's responsibility to report safety concerns. The staff member who noticed the spill should have put up a yellow caution sign over the spill immediately and get a mop to clean it or get the housekeeper to help. They should not have left it (the spill) there. The expectation is that staff take care of the issue immediately such as the liquid spill. Or if maintenance is needed, staff need to contact maintenance immediately and put in a work request in the electronic system. Review of CMS Form 802- Matrix for Providers provided by the Administrator on 4/30/2024 showed that there were forty three current residents on the 300 Level (secured unit). The matrix showed thirty seven residents had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's/Dementia and nineteen residents had had a fall (including six with an injury and one with a major injury). During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 2:50 PM, the Administrator stated, We use the Physical Plant Resource Guide for staff recording and reporting work requests and safety issues. Review of the facility's Physical Plant Resource Guide, last reviewed on 1/5/2024, showed it read, II. Daily Guide . 2. Work Orders: Work orders are in duplicate form. Work orders should be available at each nurse station, at the dietary entrance, outside the maintenance shop and at the front desk.

If you are unable to complete a work order that day, communicate that to your Administrator . 3. TELS: The Equipment Lifecycle System. TELS is a web-based Senior Living building management system that helps reduce downtime, secure warranty fulfillment, increase compliance, track equipment and maintenance.

Staff A let go of the tubing to drain additional urine into the catheter bag, again lifting the tubing above the resident's bladder. During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 8:03 AM, Staff A, RN, stated, I should not have lifted the catheter tubing up above his bladder to get it to empty. I should have moved the bag to make sure it wasn't kinked so the urine could flow properly. It was urine in the basin. During an observation on 5/1/2024 at 8:21 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) unhooked Resident #165's urinary catheter drainage bag from the bed and lifted the bag above the level of the resident's bladder approximately 1 foot over the bed and the resident's body to visualize the bag and drainage device. During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 8:22 AM, the DON stated, I think that the clamp was not tightened properly and that let the urine leak out of the bag because there doesn't appear to be a leak in the bag itself. I should not have lifted the bag up in the air. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 8:53 AM, the DON stated, We do not have a policy and procedure for catheter care. It is standard of practice to maintain the catheter and tubing below the level of the resident's bladder.
