F842D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to maintain medical records on each resident that were complete and accurately documented for one (1) of five (5) residents (Residents #1) reviewed for accurate medical records. The facility failed to ensure nursing staff documented the exceptions to the venous stasis prevention (preventing the congestion and slowing of circulation in the veins due to blockage) and wound care prevention orders for Resident #1. These failures could place residents at risk of not recording a proper account of medical interventions, treatments, and outcomes during a residents' stay.The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 06/16/2026, reflected a [AGE] year-old male. He was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's Medical Diagnosis tab, undated and accessed 06/16/2026 at 04:21 p.m., reflected diagnoses included hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness of one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (a disruption in the brain's blood flow) affecting left non-dominant side, hyperlipidemia (high fat levels in the blood), and chronic peripheral venous insufficiency (a long-lasting condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 05/20/2026, reflected the resident had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated he was cognitively intact. He had a limited range of motion on one side of a lower extremity (an inability to fully move a hip, knee, ankle, or foot) and normally used a wheelchair. He required substantial/maximal (more than half) assistance with walking, moving from sitting to standing, and moving from chair/bed-to chair. He was noted to be at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries and was documented to not have any present skin ulcers, wounds, or skin problems. Record review of Resident #1's Order Audit Report, dated 06/16/2026, reflected the following order summary with order status, order date, start date, order signed by, and the strike out date if available: - APPLY LONG TERM WRAPS TO BILATERAL LEGS [both legs] DAILY. every day shift every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun for venous stasis prevention [preventing the congestion and slowing of circulation in the veins due to blockage] therapy applies wraps while on services, order noted as active, order dated 09/17/2025, order signed by MD A on 09/23/2025, and a strike out date was not entered. Record review of Resident #1's Order Audit Report, dated 06/16/2026, reflected the following order summary with order status, order date, start date, order signed by, and the strike out date if available: - REMOVE LONG TERM WRAP FROM BILATERAL LEGS. every evening shift for WOUND CARE PREVENTION, order noted as active, order dated 08/25/2025, order signed by NP B on 08/29/2025, and a strike out date was not entered. Record review of Resident #1's Medication Administration Record, printed 06/16/2026 and dated 06/01/2026 - 06/30/2026, reflected the orders:- APPLY LONG TERM WRAPS TO BILATERAL LEGS DAILY. every day shift every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun for venous stasis prevention therapy applies wraps while on services, order date 09/17/2025. The order was documented as administered from 06/01/2026 to 06/16/2026. LPN C was noted to have documented as administered the order on 06/06/2026, 06/07/2026, 06/13/2026, and 06/14/2026. - REMOVE LONG TERM WRAP FROM BILATERAL LEGS. every evening shift for WOUND CARE PREVENTION, order date 08/25/2025. The order was documented as administered from 06/01/2026 to 06/15/2026. LPN C was noted to have documented as administered the order on 06/06/2026, 06/07/2026, 06/13/2026, and 06/14/2026. Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan Report, undated and accessed 06/16/2026 at 4:48 p.m., reflected the following focus and interventions/tasks: - Focus: Has actual impairment to left anterior [left front] shin skin integrity r/t Edema [swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's issues], date initiated 10/03/2024 and revised 01/09/2026. - Intervention/Task: APPLY LONG TERM WRAPS TO BILATERAL LEGS DAILY. every day shift every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun for venous stasis prevention therapy applies wraps while on services, date initiated 01/09/2026. - Intervention/Task: REMOVE LONG TERM WRAP FROM BILATERAL LEGS. every evening shift for WOUND CARE PREVENTION, date initiated 01/09/2026. During an observation and interview on 06/17/2026 at 11:35 a.m., Resident #1 was observed in his room, lying in bed, with bed sheets covering his lower body. His leg wraps were not visible. Resident #1 stated his legs were wrapped. He did not clarify what type of wraps were on his legs. He stated sometimes the staff do not wrap his legs; it depended on what the therapist wanted. He stated he slept with his legs wrapped and they changed the wraps every day or every other day. He stated he did not have pain in his legs, resulting from lipedema (fat in his blood), because they wrapped his legs. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 01:08 p.m., the Therapy Program Manager stated Resident #1 was receiving therapy Monday to Friday and on therapy days, therapy staff were putting on compression wraps. She stated the therapists coordinated with the wound care nurse to determine when the wraps order was completed by the nursing staff or therapy staff. She stated it depended on where Resident #1 was in the lipedema treatment protocol (the type and degree of treatment would be customized to address the stage of symptoms) to determine if he would need to keep the compression wraps on during the night or not. She stated, typically the wraps were administered in the morning and then removed in the afternoon, and sometimes an additional type of wrap or specialized compression garment would be administered. She stated Resident #1 currently has his compression wraps put on in the morning and taken off in the afternoon because per his measurements, the measurement around his legs, Resident #1 was making good progress. She stated Resident #1 had a history of refusing treatment but had an improved chance of agreeing to treatment if PT D administered the wraps. She stated, if Resident #1 refused a therapy treatment during the week, he would most likely be encouraged to make up the treatment over the weekend, but he was not scheduled regularly for treatment over the weekend. She stated she would have to confirm with PT D to determine if therapy was exclusively administering Resident #1's wraps; however, most of the time the therapy staff administer them because they are more skilled in the lipedema protocols. She stated the nurses might have to mark the order as completed after confirming the treatment was applied by the therapists. She stated, right now the order stated therapy applied the wraps while Resident #1 was on service, but the administration of the order was more of a fluid thing, meaning it would depend on where the resident was in the treatment process. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 01:50 p.m., PT D stated Resident #1 was receiving therapy Monday to Friday, five (5) days a week. He stated Resident #1 was only seen by therapy on weekends if Resident #1 missed a day during the week. He stated Resident #1 was very particular and would frequently refuse if he or another therapist were not available to provide Resident #1's treatment. PT D stated therapy applied Resident #1's wraps Monday to Friday and on Friday before the end of day, he would apply compression stockings for Resident #1 to wear over the weekend. PT D stated Resident #1 had the compression stockings taken off over last weekend, 06/13/2026- 06/14/2026, which resulted in Resident #1's legs having been really swollen by Monday. PT D stated if Resident #1 had a single wrapping on, then the weekend nurse would apply an additional Velcro wrap during the day, if Resident #1 allowed them. He stated Resident #1's nurse and he would communicate about what type of wraps were applied in therapy so the nurse would know if the wraps had been changed or not. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 02:23 p.m., ADON E stated she understood that during the week Resident #1's wraps were administered by therapy staff and then nursing staff would remove them. She stated when Resident #1 asked for the wraps to be removed, the staff would have to comply with his request. She stated LPN C was very consistent with Resident #1's treatment during the weekend and was aware Resident #1 would frequently ask for the wraps to be taken off. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 03:02 p.m., LPN C stated for Resident #1's wraps, they would sometimes be left on overnight or over the weekend, but Resident #1 would frequently request for the wraps to be removed. She stated the nurses would sometimes apply the Velcro wraps, but Resident #1 would frequently ask for them removed. She stated most of the time, if she saw Resident #1 had wraps applied by therapy, she would not change, add, or remove them unless he requested for them to be removed. She stated for Resident #1's wrap orders, they do not always match the current treatment procedure. She stated she would just check off the order as administered if the wraps were done by therapy. She stated she would not document if the resident requested the wraps or treatment to be removed early or if the wrap type was different than the order. She stated she read Resident #1's order as referring to the Velcro wrap the nursing staff applied, not the compression wrapping the therapist applied, which were different. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 04:18 p.m., the DON stated Resident #1's wraps were usually provided by therapy during the week, and the therapist would coordinate with Resident #1's nurse, per the nurses' scope (area of practice the nurse is deemed competent). For the weekends, therapy was available, but PT D would coordinate with the nursing staff. He stated the nurses that provided Resident #1's care were consistent, so they were familiar with his current care. He stated the nursing staff performed visual assessments of the wraps to confirm they were present when marking the Medication Administration Record for the order as completed. He stated the nurse was validating the order was complete. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 04:55 p.m., the ADOR stated she and PT D had certifications to provide lipedema treatment. She stated the long-term wraps that were noted in Resident #1's order were for maintenance of the lipedema, to try to prevent the regression in Resident #1's leg circumference measurement, and they could be applied by the nursing staff. She stated the two-layer wraps could only be applied by a certified therapist or an assistant therapist trained in lipedema management. The ADOR stated, for Resident #1, the two-layer wraps could stay on Resident #1's legs for up to 72 hours, but it would depend on Resident #1's tolerance for the wraps. She stated if Resident #1 was seen by therapy, PT D might apply the two-layer wraps, depending on the treatment approach PT D determined to be appropriate that day. If Resident #1 was wrapped with the two-layer wraps, then the long-term wraps would not be applied on top of the two-layer wraps. She stated she was not sure what options the nurses had in documentation of the order administration, but if Resident #1 was refusing or asking for all the wraps removed, then the order was refused. She stated the long-term wraps were essentially not applicable when the two-layer wraps were applied by therapy. She stated she could see that there could be a potential misunderstanding of what qualifies for the ordered wrap, such as checking off with what therapy administered versus the treatment noted in the order. She stated the nursing staff were given instruction that if Resident #1 received the two-layer wraps and had them on, then the long-term wraps would not be applied. She stated the nursing staff were not necessarily removing Resident #1's wraps each evening but if the ordered long-term wraps were applied, they were to be removed during the evening shift. Attempted interview on 06/17/2026 at 05:50 p.m. with MD A. NP B had the same office contact information as MD A. Office messaging system stated the office was closed for the day. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 05:51 p.m., the ADOR stated the facility did not have a rehabilitation services policy or a lipedema policy. Record review of the facility's policy, Section Administration and Subject Documentation and Charting, dated revised 05/2007 and last reviewed 07/2022, reflected: Policy:It is the policy of this facility to provide:1. A complete account of the resident's care, treatment, response to care, signs, symptoms, etc., as well as the progress of the resident's care.2. Guidance to the physician in prescribing appropriate medications and treatments.

She stated she read Resident #1's order as referring to the Velcro wrap the nursing staff applied, not the compression wrapping the therapist applied, which were different. She stated she would review the care plan to determine what wraps PT D was applying. She stated she did not believe that not following the order altered his care if Resident #1 was receiving the appropriate treatment. She stated the order not matching current treatment might impact Resident #1's care if he was provided care by a nurse that did not know Resident #1 and was unfamiliar with his care. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 04:18 p.m., the DON stated Resident #1's wraps were usually provided by therapy during the week, and the therapist would coordinate with Resident #1's nurse, per the nurses' scope (area of practice the nurse is deemed competent).

He stated the nurses that provided Resident #1's care were consistent, so they were familiar with his current care. The DON stated he was unsure of the specifics of Resident #1's currently administered treatment but it would depend on Resident #1's treatment to determine if Resident #1 was impacted by the order not matching his current treatment. He stated he knew the therapists were treating Resident #1's lipedema and that the wraps being kept on long term was a normal part of the treatment procedure. He stated the order should be specific to the type of wrap that is applied. During an interview on 06/17/2026 at 04:55 p.m., the ADOR stated she and PT D had certifications to provide lipedema treatment. She stated the long-term wraps that were noted in Resident #1's order were for maintenance of the lipedema, to try to prevent the regression in Resident #1's leg circumference measurement, and they could be applied by the nursing staff.

If Resident #1 was wrapped with the two-layer wraps, then the long-term wraps would not be applied on top of the two-layer wraps. She stated the long-term Velcro wraps could be applied if Resident #1 refused the two-layer wraps. She stated the inconsistency in treatment from the order was due to contributing factors, such as the treatment ordered was not appropriate for the resident's current treatment status. She stated if Resident #1 was wrapped with the two-layer wrap on Friday, since he could have the wrap on for up to 72 hours, the wrap could stay on until Monday, when PT D could assess Resident #1's legs and provide the treatment again. She stated the long-term wraps were essentially not applicable when the two-layer wraps were applied by therapy. She stated she could see that there could be a potential misunderstanding of what qualifies for the ordered wrap, such as checking off with what therapy administered versus the treatment noted in the order.

Based on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to ensure each PASRR Level 1 Screening done for each resident was correct for mental illness for 1 of 2 residents'(Resident #10) PASRRs reviewed, in that: Resident #10 had a PASRR Level 1 screening that did not indicate that she had a mental illness with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and, the facility did not have Resident #10 screened again for possible services. This failure could cause the residents not to receive services needed to maintain the highest functional ability for their quality of life. The findings included: Record review of Resident # 10's face sheet dated 02/20/2025revealed an [AGE] year old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: CHF (congestive heart failure- a condition which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should), anxiety disorder, dementia, and bipolar disorder. Record review on of Resident # 10's Care Plan dated 11/06/2024 revealed Resident #10 was care planned for bipolar disorder with the use of an anti-psychotic medication. Record review on of Resident # 10's physician orders dated 11/14/2024 revealed the resident had an order for risperdal 1mg(milligram) at bedtime for mania. Record review on 2/20/2025 of Resident # 10's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident # 10 had a BIMS score of 15 which was indicative of her cognition was intact. During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 9:30AM the SW said she started at the facility at the end of November 2024. She said for new admissions, the AC would usually helped and she was not sure if residents with mental illness were screened for PASRR services. The SW said she would ask the Administrator for an answer for residents with a mental illness diagnosis. During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 9:40AM the Administrator said he was not sure of the answer for residents with a mental illness diagnosis on whether they should be screened for PASRR services. He said the MDS Coordinator, and the AC (Admissions Coordinator) could be of better help for the answer. During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 10:25AM the AC said when the facility received a PASRR from the hospital, the resident would be referred for services if it was positive and it would be uploaded in Point Click Care with the resident's records but was not sure if residents with mental illness should be screened for a Level II. She said the process would be when a positive PASRR was received it would be sent to the Social Worker to refer to the agency for Level II screening. The AC said they did not check to see if PASRR was correct and compare to the admitting resident's diagnosis to ensure if they were coded correctly. The DBD said unless a resident would be admitted from the community, that would be when the facility would do a PASRR Level 1 screening. The AC said they would now initiate the step of verifying the accuracy of the PASRRs for new admissions to ensure the residents received the services they need if eligible. During an interview on 2/21/2025 at 11:00AM the SW said PASRRs should be done correctly to ensure residents who were positive received the services they need. She said she realized now that the PASRRs on admission should be checked for accuracy and if done incorrectly, they need to be done correctly in correlation to the residents' diagnosis. Facility policy titled Resident Assessment and Associated Process dated 12/2023 stated: It is the policy of this facility that residents will be assessed and the finding documented in their clinical health record. Under Comprehensive Assessment stated: 5. Assessment information will be used to develop, review and revise the resident's comprehensive care plan.

In an interview on [DATE] at 3:15 p.m. the DON stated he completed in-services with staff as soon as the issue with Resident #1's blood pressure parameters and change of condition was identified and the facility was working on a performance improvement plan. The DON stated somehow Resident #1's digoxin orders were changed but when they were changed the second time, the vital sign entry was dropped somehow from the MAR and the DON was not sure how and was still investigating. The DON stated he was still working on further interventions but had already started in-services on change of condition and other training for staff and additionally did a 1 on 1 in-service with LVN A and RN B who cared for Resident #1 on [DATE]. The DON provided copies of what was completed so far. The DON stated it was still in process, but in-services started on [DATE]. In an interview on [DATE] at 4:15p.m., the MD stated Resident #1 had an unfortunate event of rapid onset sepsis and his dose of digoxin was negligible and had no bearing on the events that sent the resident to the hospital. The MD stated the resident had significant comorbidities that contributed to his illness and being sent to the hospital. When asked what his expectation was for taking blood pressure and pulse readings prior to administration of midodrine and or digoxin medications with ordered parameters, the MD stated in an ideal world, in an ideal situation it would be nice but it did not contribute to the resident going to the hospital. When asked if the expectation were that vital signs were taken and documented as ordered the MD stated again in an ideal situation it would be nice. The MD stated there was no harm to the resident from the vital signs not being documented and again stated this was an unfortunate rapid event brought on by the resident's significant medical and surgical history. In an interview on [DATE] at 5:10 p.m., RN B stated Resident #1 was alert and oriented and complained of nausea, was medicated as ordered and it was effective. It was not until [DATE] that it was not effective but she contacted the provider and got the order to increase the Zofran to 8mg. RN B stated she thought it was effective at first because the resident was sleeping but someone woke the resident up shortly after. RN B stated the resident told her he thought the foley catheter needed to be changed again because it was not draining as much, and RN B replaced the foley catheter. RN B stated the same thing happened with the foley catheter previously and the resident was complaining of bladder spasms so she was waiting to see if the foley catheter would start draining better when his bladder spasms were over but he was being monitored and the resident was the same and at his baseline. RN B stated the resident's family member was at the bedside as well and the resident denied any pain to his bladder area and had just reported bladder spasms. RN B stated she passed on the information in report and her and LVN A looked at the foley catheter during shift change report. RN B stated there was a small amount of urine in the tubing and bag but not more than 100ml. RN B stated in general if a CNA or someone else took vital signs it was given to the nurse on paper. In an interview on [DATE] at 6:00 p.m., LVN A stated Resident #1 had 600ml of urine output that was clear and orange in color with no sediment in the tubing or bag the night before ([DATE]) the resident was sent to the hospital. LVN A stated the resident was alert and oriented to person, place, and time. The resident received therapy for his sacral wound when she walked into the room and stated she would come back when therapy was finished. LVN A stated when the resident did not have any urine output, she bladder scanned the resident and it read there was 0 ml's of urine in the bladder. LVN A stated she explained to the resident and his family member Resident #1 needed to go to the hospital for higher acuity care due to not having any urine output and the resident and his family member were against the resident going to the hospital, but she continued to explain it was serious. LVN A stated the resident and his family member did not want to go to a government hospital as the resident had a bad experience in one about a year ago. LVN A stated the resident and his family member agreed to Resident #1 going to the hospital but not by EMS and agreed to go by regular transport ambulance. LVN A stated she contacted the facility contracted ambulance company and they told her it would be 1.5 hours before they could get there. LVN A stated she immediately hung up and called 911 and was texting the NP at the same time. LVN A stated she noted a color change to the resident just prior to calling 911. LVN A stated she attempted with 3 different blood pressure machines to get a blood pressure but was having difficulty and was not sure the ,d+[DATE] was correct but EMS arrived by that time and took over assessing the resident. LVN A stated Resident #1 was alert and at his baseline the entire time and Resident #1 told her [LVN A], you can fix this, I know you can and LVN A stated she continued to tell the resident he required higher level care. LVN A stated when EMS arrived the resident was alert and oriented to person, place and time and remained at his baseline when he was transferred to the hospital. LVN A stated she wrote notes down on a piece of paper she carried with her during her shift but did not have the sheet anymore and shredded them prior to leaving but that was where the vital signs were usually written until transferred to the computer especially if another staff member had taken a blood pressure or pulse or if she was really busy . LVN A stated she stayed late to document but her assessment and interventions such as bladder scanning might not have been documented because she was busy and ran out of time. LVN A stated other than the low blood pressure at the time of the resident's transfer she was unsure of any low blood pressure issues and would have been notified by the medication aide giving the digoxin but that would have been most likely on paper if it was low and would have been taken again to confirm. In An Attempted Telephone Interview On [DATE] at 7:13 p.m., CMA C was called with no answer. A message was left to return call. In an interview on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m., the PH stated she thought it was between visits the parameters were dropped. The PH stated he always made sure the BP meds or antiarrhythmics had the correct parameters. The PH didn't make a recommendation for his parameters which meant when he reviewed the EMARs it would have had them. There's a digoxin order for February, it has parameters. The midodrine was PRN and it said to give if SBP was less than 100. In February, the last time the PH did a review of the orders and MARS the dig had parameters and the midodrine was PRN and had parameters. The dig order was changed in March, the new order, the digoxin order had parameters until the resident was discharged and the midodrine was still PRN if SBP was less than 100. If the hold parameters were missing, that was a recommendation he always made. These two particular meds should always have parameters. He would have recommended parameters for digoxin HR less than 60 to hold and midodrine for scheduled it depended on the resident and MD orders. For digoxin across the board, it's held for less than 60. Sometimes the MDs would have different parameters (patient specific based on their current condition), but if there were no hold parameters, the PH always recommended adding hold parameters. Digoxin - if HR was less than 60 it could possibly lower the heart rate more. Midodrine - it should only be given if the B/P was low if the B/P was low and it wasn't given the B/P would most likely stay low or could go lower. It won't necessarily go lower, but it won't raise it to normal levels.
