Observation at this time showed a CD player in the windowsill with a cord that did not allow the CD player to be used from the bed. Observation on 03/03/2026 at 10:29 AM showed Resident 212 lying down in bed, awake with no stimulus. Resident 212's CD player was on the windowsill, out of reach.

The NIOSH list showed the drugs given by MA C's to Residents 226 and 171 were listed in Table 2 meaning they could be harmful and cause developmental or reproductive harm. In an interview on 03/04/2026 at 1:35 PM, Staff A (Administrator) stated they expected staff to follow facility training as well as state and federal regulations. <Clarifying/Following Physician Orders> <Resident 7> According to the 01/09/2026 Annual MDS, Resident 7 admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple medically complex conditions including cancer, kidney failure, and lymphedema (chronic swelling in arms or legs due to buildup of lymph fluid related to damaged lymphatic system).

The MDS showed Resident 205 had almost constant pain frequently affecting their sleep, with an intensity of up to nine on a pain scale of zero to 10, with 10 being the most severe pain. The MDS showed Resident 205 took scheduled and as-needed pain medications, including opioid pain medications and had no cognitive deficits. Review of the February 2026 MAR showed Resident had two different as-needed pain medications: a 02/12/2026 order for a non-opioid pain medication to be administered every eight hours as needed for a pain level between one and six on the zero-to-10 pain scale, and a 02/13/2026 order for an opioid pain medication to be administered every four hours as needed for a pain level between seven and 10.

In an interview on 03/04/2026 8:37 AM, Staff BB (Assistant Director of Nursing Services, Transitional Care Unit Manager) stated because Resident 205 was alert and oriented, they had the right to request an opioid pain medication outside the parameters ordered by the physician. In an interview on 03/04/2026 11:45 AM, Staff B stated staff should follow the physician's orders and only give medicines according to the parameters listed on the order. Staff B reviewed Resident 205's February 2026 MAR and acknowledged they were given their opioid pain medication outside the physician's parameters. <Insulin Administration> <Resident 206> Review of a July 2023 manufacturer's Instructions for Use of a prefilled insulin pen showed directions to prime (remove the air from the needle and cartridge and ensure the insulin pen was working correctly) before each use. Failure to prime the pen could cause a resident to get too much or too little insulin. Steps for priming the pen included setting the dose to two units (international units – a measurement used for insulin dosing), holding the pen upright, tapping the cartridge to remove air bubbles, and pressing and holding the dose knob (a button at the top of the pen to release the dose) to a slow count of five. Priming should result in insulin being visible at the tip of the needle. Steps to administer the insulin injection included inserting the needle into the skin, pushing the dose knob all the way in, continuing to hold the dose knob in and slowly counting to five before withdrawing the needle. Observation on 02/27/2026 at 12:28 PM showed Staff L (Registered Nurse) preparing Resident 206's insulin pen for administration. Staff L did not prime the insulin pen prior to administration. Staff L inserted the insulin pen needle into Resident 206's skin, pressed and immediately released the dose knob, and held the needle in the skin for a count of five before withdrawing the needle. Observation on 03/04/2026 at 9:49 AM showed Staff M (Registered Nurse) preparing Resident 206's insulin pen for administration. Staff M primed the pen with 0.5 units (international units - a measurement used for insulin dosing) of insulin while holding the pen horizontally. Observation did not show evidence of any insulin ejected from the needle. Staff M removed the needle from the pen and attached a new needle. Staff M proceeded to administer the ordered insulin dose to Resident 206. In an interview on 03/04/2026 at 10:41 AM, Staff C stated they expected nurses to prime insulin pens with two units of insulin prior to each administration and to hold the dose knob down for five-to-ten seconds during injection before withdrawing the needle, to ensure the resident received the correct dose of insulin.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed, to implement interventions including adequate supervision and assistive devices consistent with a resident's needs, goals, and care plan for one of four residents (Resident 1), reviewed for abuse and neglect. This failure caused Resident 1 to have an avoidable fall that resulted in harm, the fracture of both bones in the shin, that caused pain, suffering and loss of confidence in Staff. Findings included . Review of 05/03/2022 Quarterly Minimum Data Set, (MDS-an assessment tool), showed Resident 1 had diagnoses including an above the knee amputation of the left leg, muscle weakness, reduced mobility, and required extensive physical assistance of two persons for transfer. The Care Plan revised on 06/17/2021 showed staff were to transfer Resident 1 with one person extensive assist using a slide board (a board used to facilitate the transfer of a person from one device to another, example bed to chair), or a two person mechanical lift transfer assist if Resident 1 was weak or fatigued. The Pain Level Summary dated 05/14-05/23/2022 (prior to fall with fractures) showed Resident 1 experience a mild level of pain (2.6 on a scale of 1-10) and was treated with over the counter medications. After the fall staff documented Resident 1's pain level markedly increased to severe pain levels (8/10) and was treated with a narcotic (a medication used to treat moderate to severe pain). The facility's 05/23/2022 Incident Investigation showed while Staff E transferred the resident from the bed to the wheelchair without using a slide board, the right leg of Resident 1 gave out and Staff E, had to lower Resident 1 to the floor. The Incident Investigation showed Resident 1 stated, Staff E did not use that board. The 05/24/2022 Progress notes showed Resident 1 was grimacing and complained of severe pain in the right knee down to the right foot. Staff documented the right leg was swollen and the resident could barely move the leg. The 05/24/2022 Physician Progress note showed Resident 1 had a fall on 05/23/2022 and was in severe pain. The physician ordered an X-ray of the right leg. The 05/24/2022 Nursing note showed the results of the in-house X-ray revealed fractures of right proximal tibia and fibula (shin bones). Resident 1 was sent to emergency room for evaluation and treatment. During an observation on 05/27/2022 at 9:15 AM Resident 1 pulled the blanket off their leg and showed the full immobilizing leg brace on the right leg that was applied in the hospital. A slide board was observed leaning against the wall in the room. The updated transfer status on the in-room care plan stated mechanical lift to be used for all transfers. During an interview on 05/27/2022 at 9:15 AM, Resident 1 stated the aide tried to pick me up, they did not want to use the sliding board and dropped me. When I hit the floor, I heard it break. I think they were in a hurry. I do not care for them to come to my room anymore. I do not know why they would not use the lift or the sliding board. I guess they thought they could lift me. Resident 1 stated they were in more pain than before the fall and the medication was not working. The facility was notified of the resident's concern. During an Interview on 05/27/2022 at 10:50 AM, Staff B Director of Nursing stated that Staff E knew what they did was wrong, knew what they should have done, and knew where to find Resident 1's transfer status information in the care plan.
