The assessment did not document measurements or description of the wound. A care plan, reviewed 07/27/22, documented to refer the resident to wound specialist [company name removed] to evaluate and treat. A physician order, dated 08/04/22, documented to consult with [physician name removed] for wound management and to cleanse area to coccyx with normal saline, pat dry, apply Xeroform, and cover with bordered dressing daily until healed one time a day for pressure ulcer of sacral region. On 08/04/22 at 12:34 p.m., the DON stated wounds should be assessed weekly and charted in the electronic health record on a weekly skin/wound assessment. He stated as soon as the wound was identified as being a pressure ulcer there should have been a referral made to the wound care doctor. On 08/04/22 at 12:43 p.m., wound care was observed being performed on Res #39 by LPN #1 and LPN #2. LPN #1 stated the orders were to clean the wound with normal saline, pat dry, apply xeroform, and a border dressing. Two separate wounds were observed receiving treatment. Wound #1 was observed on the resident's sacrum, wound #2 was above and to the left of wound #1 by approximately three cm. Wound #1 was observed to be approximately nickel sized in diameter with slough partially covering the wound bed. Wound #2 observed to be approximately 0.5 cm diameter and the wound had a red wound bed. On 08/04/22 at 1:11 p.m., the DON stated the electronic medical record did not add the task for nursing staff to perform weekly skin assessments for Res #39.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a PRN psychotropic medication duration order did not extend beyond 14 days and GDR of psychotropic medications were attempted for one (#20) of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents form documented 48 residents resided in the facility. Findings: Resident #20 had diagnoses which included generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, insomnia, and dementia with behaviors. A physician order, dated 03/14/22, documented trazodone tablet 150 mg, give one tablet by mouth at bedtime related to insomnia. A physician order, dated 03/14/22, documented Geodon capsule 60 mg, give one capsule by mouth two times a day related to major depressive disorder. A physician order, dated 03/23/22, documented lorazepam tablet one mg, give one tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for agitation. A physician order, dated 03/23/22, documented Ambien tablet 5 mg, give one tablet by mouth at bedtime related to insomnia. A pharmacy drug regimen review, dated 04/08/22, documented a request to re-evaluate Res #20's PRN lorazepam order. The pharmacist documented CMS guidelines advised against the use of as needed or PRN psychotropic agents for longer than 14 consecutive days, unless the prescriber believed it was appropriate to extend the order beyond 14 day and documented the information in the clinical record. A pharmacy drug regimen review, dated 05/10/22, documented a gradual dose reduction request for Res #20's antipsychotic medication (Geodon). A pharmacy drug regimen review, dated 06/13/22, documented a gradual dose reduction request for Res #20's trazodone and Ambien, and to re-evaluate the PRN lorazepam order per CMS regulations. A quarterly resident assessment, dated 06/21/22, documented Res #20 received antipsychotics on a routine basis, a GDR had not been attempted, and a GDR had not been documented by a physician as clinically contraindicated. On 08/04/22 at 10:46 a.m., the DON stated he did not have physician responses to the drug regimen reviews for this resident because her care was managed by [provider name deleted]. The DON stated he did not notify the medical director when the primary care providers had not responded.

Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure the residents were free of significant medication errors. The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents form documented 48 residents resided in the facility. Findings: On 08/03/22 at 11:30 a.m., LPN #3 was observed during insulin pass. She was observed with a piece of lined paper with resident names on one side and sliding scale parameters on the other. She stated all residents were on the same sliding scale per the facility physician. She was observed to administer four units of Novolog insulin to Res #15 according to the sliding scale. Res #15 physician orders documented the resident was to receive a scheduled four units of insulin in addition to the sliding scale that was administered. On 08/03/22, at 11:57 a.m., LPN #3 stated the resident was supposed to get an additional four units. She stated the error occurred partially because she did not have the computer to verify the order and partially because of human error. On 08/03/22 at 12:00 p.m., the DON stated staff were supposed to verify the orders prior to administering insulin and using a paper to record and track insulin pass was not facility protocol.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Resident #5 had diagnoses which included insomnia and anxiety disorder. The resident's April 2022 MAR documented temazepam (a hypnotic medication), was administered to the resident on 4/22, 4/23, 4/24, and 4/25. The resident's April 2022 MAR documented Xanax (an antianxiety medication) was administered to the resident on 4/22, 4/23, 4/24, 4/25, and 4/26. The resident's April 2022 MAR documented vistaril (an antianxiety medication) was administered to the resident on 4/26, 4/27, and 4/28. A significant change assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident received hypnotic medications seven out of seven days during the review period, and received antianxiety medications zero out of seven days during the review period. On 08/03/22 at 4:50 p.m., the MDS coordinator stated the medications were coded incorrectly on the MDS. She stated the hypnotic should have been coded as four days and the antianxiety medications should have been seven days. 3. Resident #20 had diagnoses which included diabetes and dementia with behaviors. A quarterly assessment, dated 06/21/22, documented the resident received no injections/insulin, and no antibiotics during the review period. The MAR for June 2022 documented the resident received insulin glargine every day for the month of June, and Keflex (an antibiotic) from 6/18 to 6/27. On 08/04/22 at 10:46 a.m., the DON was asked to review the resident's June MAR and indicate how many days should have been coded for injections/insulin and antibiotics. He stated there should have been seven days coded for injections/insulin and four days for antibiotics, so the MDS was not coded correctly. Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure assessments accurately reflected the residents' status for four (#5, 20, 44, and #45) of 20 residents whose assessments were reviewed. The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents form documented 48 residents resided in the facility. Findings: The Resident Assessment Instrument manual, dated October 2019, read in parts, .Coding Instructions for N0350A Enter in Item N0350A, the number of days during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days) that insulin injections were received .N0410B, Antianxiety: Record the number of days an anxiolytic medication was received by the resident at any time during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days) .N0410D, Hypnotic: Record the number of days a hypnotic medication was received by the resident at any time during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days) .N0410E, Anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin, heparin, or low- molecular weight heparin): Record the number of days an anticoagulant medication was received by the resident at any time during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days). Do not code antiplatelet medications such as aspirin/extended release, dipyridamole, or clopidogrel here .N0410F, Antibiotic: Record the number of days an antibiotic medication was received by the resident at any time during the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days) . 1. Res #45 had diagnoses which included atherosclerotic heart disease, liver disease, and hypertension. A physician order, dated 04/09/21, documented the facility was to administer clopidogrel (a platelet aggregation inhibitor) one time a day for a diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease without angina pectoris. A quarterly assessment for Res #45, dated 07/24/22, documented the resident received an anticoagulant medication every day of the assessment period. On 08/04/22 at 11:14 a.m., the DON stated Res #45 should not have been coded as on an anticoagulant as he was on clopidogrel. 2. Res #44 had diagnoses which included heart failure, hypertension, atherosclerotic heart disease, and presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft. A physician order, dated 11/11/20, documented the facility was to administer clopidogrel daily for a diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease. A significant change assessment, dated 01/20/22, documented Res #44 received an anticoagulant daily during the assessment period.

A PASRR-MI summary of findings (PASRR level II), dated 07/01/21, documented under the section titled Physician Reviewer Recommendations to ensure the facility would follow up with pulmonology care for Res #27. A modification of an annual assessment for Res # 27, dated 08/26/21, documented the resident was considered by the state level II PASRR process to have serious mental illnesses. On 08/03/22 at 10:03 a.m., Res # 27 stated she has not seen any physician for problems with her lungs. On 08/03/22 at 1:54 p.m., the MDS Coordinator stated she had never seen the PASRR II for Res #27 or any recommendations for a follow-up with a pulmonologist and no referral was ever made. 2. Resident #8 had diagnoses which included bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. A PASRR level I dated 07/29/19, documented a level II evaluation was required. The form documented OHCA staff was contacted on 07/25/19, and the resident was cleared to admit from another facility and had a current PASRR level II in effect. On 08/03/22 at 10:17 a.m., the DON stated a level II evaluation was completed in 1999, but when the resident admitted to the facility they did not request the level II PASRR or follow up to get a copy of the Level II evaluation and recommendations to the facility. Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to update the PASRR program level I screening as required, obtain existing Level II evaluation reports, and incorporate the evaluation reports into the residents' care plan for three, (#8, 27, and #44) of three residents reviewed for PASRR. The facility failed to: a. incorporate the evaluation report into the resident's care plan for Res #27. b. obtain an existing PASRR level II evaluation report for Res #8 on admission. c. contact OHCA when Res #44 obtained new psychiatric diagnoses. The administrator reported five residents who resided in the facility have PASRR Level II evaluations. Findings: 1. Res #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

Based on record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate was not five percent or greater. The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents documented 48 residents resided in the facility. Findings: On 08/03/22 at 7:30 a.m., CMA #2 was observed administering 20 ml of Lactulose 10 mg/5 ml to Res #25. Order reconciliation documented the resident's dose of Lactulose was to have been 30 ml. On 08/03/22 at 11:30 a.m., LPN #3 was observed during insulin pass. She was observed with a piece of lined paper with resident names on one side and sliding scale parameters on the other. She stated that all residents were on the same sliding scale per the facility physician. She was observed to administer four units of Novolog insulin to Res #15 according to the sliding scale written on the paper. Res #15's orders documented the resident was to receive a scheduled four units of insulin in addition to the sliding scale that was administered. On 08/03/22 at 11:57 a.m., LPN #3 stated Res #15 was supposed to get an additional four units, but he didn't. She stated the error occurred partially because she did not have the computer to verify the order, and partially because of human error. On 08/03/22 at 12:00 p.m., the DON stated staff were supposed to verify the orders prior to administering insulin and using a paper to record and track insulin pass was not the facility protocol.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Stick Around?

Families should ask facility leadership what changes have been made since these penalties.

Is Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center on Any Federal Watch List?

FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
