Based on record review, resident interview and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure food choices were obtained and honored. This was true for one (1) of six (6) residents reviewed during the annual survey process. Resident identifier: #309. Facility census: 106 Findings included: a) Resident #309 On 04/29/25 at 10:32 AM, during an interview with Resident #309, the resident stated they had not been asked about food choices. The Resident said, They just bring me whatever they want, if I like it, I eat it. If I don't like it, I just go without. When asked if anyone had told them about the Always Available menu, they were not aware of it. When asked if anyone had asked what they liked and disliked food-wise, they stated, no. On 05/06/25 at 10:53 AM, a phone interview was completed with the dietician. When asked to describe the process of obtaining newly admitted resident's food choices, the dietician stated that within 24 hours of admission [NAME] #124, was supposed to obtain the food preferences from the resident. The dietician further stated she did the nutritional assessment within 14 days of admission. During an interview with [NAME] #124 at 10:59 AM on 05/06/25, when asked about Resident #309's food choices, the [NAME] stated, I will be honest, I am supposed to get the food preferences within 24 hours of admission, but I am doing two people's jobs right now, and I have not gotten around to interviewing the resident about their food choices. [NAME] #124 said the resident could ask her Nurse Aid to obtain what the menu was for the day, and if they did not like it, then the staff could get them something else from the Always Available Menu. When asked how the resident would know to ask the Nurse Aid about obtaining the menu for the day, [NAME] #124 did not have an answer. The resident's care plan was a 24-hour baseline care plan, and no food preferences were listed on the care plan. A review of the facility's Person Center Choice, Food and Nutrition Services revealed Director of Dining Services/Director of Culinary Services or designee visits resident within 48 hours of admission to introduce Food and Nutrition Services, the meal offerings, and gather any food preferences. Residents may pre-select their meals by Personal Choice Menus. The conclusion is that the resident was not visited by the Dietary Department to obtain food preferences, nor was this resident given a Personal Choice Menu.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation record review staff interview and resident interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #21, and Resident #22 received the treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive care plan, and the resident's choices, related to pain management. This was true for two (2) of 10 residents reviewed for the care area of pain during the long-term care survey process. Resident identifiers: #21, and #22. Facility Census: 106. Findings Include: a) Resident #21 On 04/29/25 at 1:36 PM Resident #21 stated, she had been asking them for pain medication, and they had not given her any yet. The resident was asked to rate her pain on a scale from zero (0) to ten (10) with zero (0) being no pain and ten (10) being the worst pain ever. Resident #21 stated that her pain was an eight (8). The surveyor immediately reported Resident #21's pain level to Registered Nurse (RN) #10. RN #10 stated, I told her she could not have any just yet because it had not been 12 hours since her last dose. RN #10 then stated, Well I guess I could call the Doctor to see if I can give her a dose now. Less than five (5) minutes later RN #10 returned to Resident #21's room and stated, The doctor changed your pain meds to one (1) every eight (8) as needed instead of every 12 hours. The resident stated I'm glad they changed it, but I wish they would have done it sooner. A review of Resident #21's medical record on 05/05/25 found it included the following physician orders pertaining to pain management: -- OXY Codone 5 milligrams every 12 hours as needed for pain. This order began on 01/29/25 and ended on 04/29/25. -- OXY codone 5 milligrams every eight (8) hours as needed for pain. This order began on 04/28/25 and ended on 05/01/25. -- OXY Codone 5 milligrams every eight (8) hours as needed for pain. This order began on 05/01/25 and was the current order at the time of this review. Further review of the medical record found when the resident receives a pain medication which is documented on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) the facility will document the pain level at the time of administration and a half to one (1) hour later will evaluate the effectiveness of the pain medication. Upon further review of Resident #21's medical record, a comparison of the MAR and the controlled substance log was completed. This comparison revealed the following days and times Resident #21's oxycodone was signed out on the controlled substance log but the nurse failed to document it as administered on the MAR therefore the effectiveness of the medication was not evaluated. The dates and times are as follows: -- 02/14/25 - 3:30 pm -- 02/18/25 - 8:00 am -- 03/01/25 - 2:25 PM -- 03/07/25 - 9:00 AM -- 03/11/25 - 8:00 PM -- 03/14/25 - 4:30 PM -- 03/23/25 - 8:00 am -- 04/06/25 - 12:00 am. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/6/25 at 1:00 PM confirmed the above findings. She stated, I'll look to see if I can find anything where we evaluated the effectiveness of the PRN pain medication on these dates. No further information was provided prior to the time of exit on 05/06/25. 04/29/25 01:36 PM Resident stated at 1 pm that she had been asking them for Pain medicine and they have not gave it to her yet she rated her pain at an 8. Told the RN on duty that the resident was asking for her pain medication. She stated that it had not been a full 12 hours since she had her last dose she said it was almost time. She then stated that she would call the Dr. She came in within minutes. And told the resident that she called the dr and it was now going to be every 8 hours . The resident was pleased but did not understand why they did not do it sooner. Interview with the DON 05/06/25 09:41 AM she stated that it was a cycle with her they tried therapy, and she said that hurt. Then they set up an ortho appointment and then she refused to get out of bed to go to the ortho she stated that she had refused so much that the ortho will not see her anymore. She confirmed the meds are signed out on the controlled substance log and the MAR stated that the pain was assessed when it puts it in the e-mar. b) Resident #22 During an interview with Resident #22 on 04/29/25 at 2:28 PM she stated she had been having a lot of trouble with pain. She stated she had a pill this morning, but it had worn off and her leg was still hurting badly. She indicated she still had to do therapy, and she was worried she would not be able to. A review of Resident #22's medical record found the resident sustained a fall at home and fractured her hip. During her hospital stay they indicated the resident was not a candidate for surgical repair and left the hip unrepaired. She was sent to the facility for therapy with the goal of returning home. During the review of the medical record on 05/05/25 the following orders were found pertaining to pain management: -- Oxycodone 5-325 every four hours as needed for pain. This was the effective order from 04/03/25 to 04/05/25. (Resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]). -- Oxycodone 10-325 milligrams (MG) every six (6) hours as needed for pain. This was the effective order from 04/05/25 to 04/09/25. -- Oxycodone 10-325 milligrams (MG) every six (6) hours as needed for pain for five (5) days. This was the effective order from 04/09/25 to 04/13/25. -- Oxycodone 7.5 mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. This was the effective order from 04/14/25 to 04/21/25 -- Oxycodone 5 mg every 12 hours as needed for pain. This was the effective order from 04/24/25 to 04/29/25. -- Oxycodone 5 mg every 6 hours beginning on 04/29/25 and was the current order at the time of this review. Upon further review of Resident #22's medical record a comparison of the MAR and the controlled substance log was completed. This comparison found on the following days and times Resident #22's oxycodone was signed out on the controlled substance log, but the nurse failed to document it as administered on the MAR therefore the effectiveness of the medication was not evaluated. The dates and times are as follows: -- 04/13/25 at 8:00 PM -- 04/18/25 at 2:00 PM During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 05/06/25 at 9:41 AM, the DON indicated Resident #22 really liked her pain pills. When asked about the fractured hip which had not been repaired the DON stated, She waited three weeks to go to the hospital so her tolerance for pain must be high. The DON indicated the resident had refused to take Ultram. When asked to provide documentation to indicate the resident had refused Ultram, she was unable to do so.

Based on record review, and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure Resident # 90 was transferred in a safe manner to prevent physical injury. This resulted in actual harm for Resident #90 who sustained a laceration to her lower extremity requiring16 stitches. After the incident with Resident #90 the facility identified the failures and took appropriate action to correct the failures prior to the state agency entering the facility to conduct this complaint investigation. Therefore this will be cited as past non compliance. This was true for one (1) of three (3) sampled residents. Resident Identifier: #90. Facility Census: 110. Findings Include: A) Resident #90 On 04/09/24 Nurse Aide (NA) # 136 was transferring Resident #90 from the wheelchair to the bed when the resident sustained a laceration to her right lower extremity. Resident #90 was taken to the emergency room requiring 16 stitches. The facility reported the incident as required to all state agencies and began an investigation into what happened. A review of the facility's investigation found a statement written by NA #136, in this statement she confirmed she did not use the appropriate procedure when lifting Resident #90. Based on the Care Plan, Resident #90 was a lift sit to stand transfer. NA #136 used a gait belt to transfer resident # 90 from the wheelchair to her bed and discovered the resident's laceration to her right lower extremity. The facility substantiated neglect and reported NA #136 to the state registry and terminated her employment on 04/10/24. During the course of the investigation the facility discovered other NA's caring for Resident #90 may not have been transferring her appropriately. The facility then completed a whole house audit finding incorrect transfer procedures to be isolated to Resident #90. Staff inservices and education on resident transfers and lifts using the kardex started 04/10/24 and was completed 04/17/24 with scheduled future staff monitoring. During an interview with Resident #90, on 1/29/25 at 9:18 AM, she was up and sitting in her wheelchair down the hall from her room. She stated staff used a lift to transfer her to her wheel chair. She stated she did not have to wait for long periods of time for transfers when she requested to be up. She stated she hasn't missed meals or activities due to waiting to be transferred to the chair. She stated her call lights were answered timely. She did not remember being hurt during her transfer from the bed to the chair. She stated she hasn't had any falls lately.

On 03/14/23 at 11:29 AM, RN #27 reported the midline did not have an order or for the care of the line. RN #27 went on to say he found out the Nurse Practitioner had given a verbal order to a nurse, but the order was never entered into the computer system.

The note lacks any information related to the mental healthcare consultant's recommendation to increase the Trazadone to 100 mg. The Monthly Medication Review (MRR) indicates Pharmacist #147 reviewed R#63's medical record on 12/27/21. She made a recommendation to start Invokana (a Type 2 diabetes medication) per the American Diabetic Association but failed to identify the facility's failure to timely address the mental health care consultant's recommendation to increase the Trazadone to 100 mg at bedtime. The mental healthcare consultant report dated 01/18/22, stated that R#63 reports continued difficulty with falling asleep and feeling sadder. The recommendation was to consider increasing the Cymbalta (duloxetine) to 60 mg twice a day for depression. The Monthly Medication Review (MRR) was completed by Pharmacist #147 on 01/24/22. Her recommendation addressed the need to monitor the resident for side effects related to the administration of Invokana but failed to identify the mental health specialist's recommendation dated 01/18/22 to increase R#63's Cymbalta to 60 mg twice a day for depression. The Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed the medical record during an interview on 02/09/22 at 10:20 AM. The DON confirmed the mental health consultant's recommendations to increase the Trazadone and Cymbalta were not addressed by the physician and/or nurse practitioner. In addition, the DON reviewed the pharmacy logs and MRR and agreed the pharmacist failed to identify the mental healthcare consultant's recommendations and/or the fact that the physician/nurse practitioner failed to acknowledge and/or address these recommendations in a timely manner. .

. Based on resident interview, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide food in the form to meet the resident's needs. This was true for one (1) of five (5) residents reviewed for nutrition during the long-term care survey process. Resident #37 was on a dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) texture diet but was eating deli sliced turkey. Resident identifier: #37. Facility census: 108. Findings included: a) Resident #37 During an interview, on 02/07/22 at 11:20 AM, Resident #37 stated he did not enjoy all the meals served by the facility and that his daughter would frequently bring in deli sliced turkey for both he and his wife [who was Resident #37's roommate at the facility] to enjoy. On 02/08/22 at 12:37 PM, a medical record review was completed which revealed a diet order, dated 01/02/22, for resident to receive a regular/liberalized diet with dysphagia puree texture. During an interview, on 02/08/22 at 12:58 PM, the Dietician reviewed Resident #37's diet order and stated deli sliced turkey was NOT approved as part of his dysphagia puree diet. The Dietician went on to explain that typically, a speech therapist will recommend a dysphagia pureed diet after evaluating a resident who has problems chewing or swallowing food. All foods should be pureed to a pudding-like consistency. The Dietician stated a new Speech referral would be given to evaluate Resident #37 again. The Dietician explained sometimes Speech will be able to modify a diet order, if appropriate. If deli sliced turkey still couldn't be approved, Resident #37 would be given the opportunity to receive education about choking risks and then would have the right to sign against medical advice paperwork. The Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed Resident #37's diet order on 02/08/22 at 1:09 PM. The DON stated she was not aware Resident #37 was eating deli sliced turkey routinely brought in by a family member. The DON stated she would speak to Resident #37 and nursing staff to ensure he did not eat any more turkey prior to being re-evaluated by Speech. .

Resident identifiers: #58, #355, #71. Facility census: 108. Findings included: a) Resident #58 - restorative range of motion Review of Resident #58's medical records showed an order written on 12/09/21 for Nurse Aide (NA) to perform restorative bilateral upper extremity active range of motion for 15 minutes or as tolerated, up to three (3) days a week, three (3) days on and three (3) days off for 12 weeks, until 03/03/22. The Nurse Aide task reports for the preceding 30 days showed only one (1) documentation of restorative range of motion. On 01/27/21, not applicable is documented for restorative range of motion. There was no other documentation regarding restorative range of motion for any other days. During an interview on 02/08/22 at 3:04 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed restorative range of motion had not been performed for Resident #58 as ordered by the physician. No further information was provided through the completion of the survey. a2) Resident #58 - hand splints Review of Resident #58's medical records showed a physician's order written on 09/23/21 for the resident to wear carpal tunnel wrist splints for five (5) to six (6) hours during the day as needed as resident will tolerate. Further review of Resident #58's medical records did not show any documentation of when Resident #58 wore carpal tunnel wrist splints. During an interview on 02/08/22 at 3:04 PM, the DON stated Resident #58's carpal tunnel wrist splints were not documented because they are applied as needed. When asked how it could be determined how often the splints were worn if the resident's carpal tunnel symptoms worsened, the DON stated the resident would be able to provide the information. During an interview on 02/08/22 at 3:25 PM, Resident #58 stated her goal was to wear the splints four (4) or five (5) times a week, although she usually didn't wear them that much. She stated the number of times she wears them varies week-by-week. The resident stated the NA periodically asks her if she would like to wear them, but they don't ask her every day. No further information was provided through the completion of the survey process. b) Resident #355 On 02/08/22 at 11:20 AM, a medical record review was completed. The medical record revealed the following physician order, dated 02/04/22 at 12:27 AM, Pulse ox [oximeter] every shift to keep oxygen sats [saturations] greater than or equal to _________. The order did not specify a pulse ox parameter. A pulse ox reading measures the level of blood oxygen saturation, which is a crucial measure of how well the lungs are working. A subsequent review of the February 2022 Medication Administration Record (MAR) reflected nursing staff had signed off on completing the pulse ox order (although there was no parameter specified) on all three shifts for 02/04/22, 02/05/22, 02/06/22, 02/07/22, and the morning of 02/08/22. The DON, during an interview on 02/08/22 at 11:30 AM, stated the pulse ox order was an incomplete order with no parameters. The DON stated the standard is usually a minimum of 90, but a nurse should have addressed the incomplete order by contacting the physician to clarify. The DON stated she would immediately address the issue. c) Resident #71 During the medical record review on 02/07/22, the physician's order for Resident #71 was to wear geri sleeves to aid in maintaining skin integrity and could be removed for hygiene. On 02/09/22 at 8:22 AM, during an observation, it was discovered Resident #71 was not wearing geri sleeves on either arm, this failed practice did not follow physician's orders. Also NA #54, verified the geri sleeves were not present on resident's arms. .
