Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who required respiratory care, including tracheostomy (a surgically created opening called a stoma in the front of the neck leading into the windpipe (trachea) to help a person breathe) care, received services consistent with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan. This deficient practice was evidenced by the facility's nursing and respiratory therapy staff's failure to respond to critical oxygen saturation alarms for one (1) of six (6) residents (Resident #1) sampled for respiratory care. Specifically, on [DATE] at 8:58 AM, the resident's oxygen saturation dropped to 84%. …

Specifically, on [DATE] at 11:30 PM, Resident #1 was found unresponsive with an oxygen saturation of 73 percent (normal 95 to100 percent) and signs of respiratory distress. Emergency Medical Services documented 'extreme' wheezing in all lung fields and a clinical impression of pneumonia (an infection in one or both lungs). …
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents who require respiratory care, including nebulizer and oxygen therapy, are provided with such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals. This was evident for one (Resident #3) of one residents reviewed for Respiratory Care.
