Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent falls for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents. Following a significant decline, a dependent resident was encouraged to participate in dressing which resulted in a fall, and a resident's care plan intervention was not in place to prevent an additional fall. (Resident C, Resident D)Findings include: 1. A record review on 12/22/25 at 1:40 P.M. indicated Resident C's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, vascular dementia with agitation, anxiety disorder, muscle weakness, and unsteadiness on feet.Resident C's Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 8/20/25, indicated the resident required set-up assistance with the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) of upper and lower body dressing. Resident C's most recent Significant Change MDS, dated [DATE], indicated the resident had significant cognitive impairment, was dependent (helper does ALL of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with the ADL of upper and lower body dressing, and had 2 or more falls and 1 fall with injury since the previous assessment. A fall risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident C was at a high risk for falls. Resident C's care plan specific to ADL assistance was last reviewed or revised on 12/3/25. A focus of Resident required assistance with ADLs, including bed mobility, transfers, eating, and toileting, related to decreased mobility and weakness, and impaired cognition due to dementia (started 7/10/23). An intervention included assist with dressing, grooming, and hygiene as needed. Encourage the resident to do as much for self as possible (started 7/10/23). Resident C's nurse's progress notes included, but were not limited to:11/23/25 at 8:05 P.M. - Resident stood from the wheelchair and fell backward onto the floor.11/24/25 at 7:00 P.M. - CNA on duty alerted the LPN to witnessed fall of resident in his room. CNA was performing bedtime care with the resident and allowing for as much independence as possible with the resident as the resident was standing upright, near the bed, and lost his balance. 11/25/25 at 9:23 A.M. (Intra-disciplinary team) IDT note - Determined root cause of fall: resident immediately became unsteady when assisted by one staff member with PM care. Intervention put in place to address the root cause of fall: Dress the resident while lying in bed or sitting at the bedside.During an observation on 12/23/25 at 11:40 A.M., Resident C was observed in the dining room sitting in a high-back wheelchair. During an interview on 12/23/25 at 11:45 A.M., LPN 2 indicated Resident C had several falls recently following a general decline in health and functional abilities. Resident C would, at times, stand without assistance, which resulted in falls. During an interview on 12/23/25 at 12:30 P.M., the MDS nurse indicated Resident C's plan of care should have been updated following the significant change to reflect the assessments that indicated the resident was dependent for ADL care, which included upper and lower body dressing. 2. A record review on 12/23 at 10:40 A.M., Resident D's diagnoses included but were not limited to vascular dementia with mood disturbance, abnormalities in gait and mobility, and repeated falls. dA fall risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident D was at a high risk for falls.Resident D's most recent Significant Change MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment, used a wheelchair for mobility, was dependent for mobility and transfers, and had two or more falls with one with injury since the previous assessment. Resident D's care plan included, but was not limited to, the resident at risk for falls due to a history of one ormore falls within the previous 6 months, age greater than or equal to 80, incontinence, oxygen use, takes one or more high fall risk drugs, requires assistance or supervision for mobility, transfer, has altered awareness of immediate physical environment, lack of understanding of one's physical and cognitive limitations and she is impulsive.

CNA 2 was observed providing incontinence care to Resident C, who had feces on the front and back of her peri area and buttocks. CNA 2 moved the clean brief closer to Resident C, doffed her gloves, walked to the door, opened it, and obtained hand sanitizer from the dispenser outside the room. CNA 2 indicated she usually carries hand sanitizer in her pocket, it exploded yesterday, and that was why she had to use the hand sanitizer outside the room. 3. During an observation on 8/7/25 at 10:09 A.M., CNA 9 and CNA 10 provided incontinence care for Resident F. CNA 9 used a wet washcloth to clean Resident F's perineal area after pulling down a brief that was wet with urine. CNA 9 then removed her gloves and donned a new glove without performing hand hygiene. CNA 9 could not find a second glove and, without performing hand hygiene, reached into CNA 10's pocket to retrieve a glove. CNA 9 then removed the wet brief and cleaned around the resident's anus and buttocks area. CNA 9 then placed the soiled brief in a trash bag and the linens in a separate trash bag. CNA 9 removed her gloves and, without performing hand hygiene, opened the resident's door by turning the inside door handle and exited the resident's room. CNA 9 returned to the resident's room and donned gloves before she applied a new brief to the resident and placed fresh linens on the resident's bed.

Inspection of August 29, 2024
11 findingsBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident without diabetes was free from a significant medication error for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for significant medication errors. (Resident L) This deficient practice resulted in Resident L receiving an overdose of rapid-acting and long-acting insulins and a significant change in condition that required emergent, intensive care at an acute care hospital for treatment of low blood sugar. Finding includes: On 8/22/24 at 2:40 P.M., Resident L's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease. The resident did not have a diagnosis of diabetes. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment, dated 4/1/24, indicated Resident L was not assessed for cognitive ability because the resident was rarely or never understood, was dependent on staff for eating, did not have insulin orders, and did not receive any insulin injections during the 7-day look back period. The physician orders, dated 5/1/24 to 8/22/24, did not include documentation to indicate Resident L had a diagnosis or history of diabetes or should receive insulin. A Medication/Treatment Error Report, dated 5/15/24, indicated Resident L was mistaken for another resident and was given an incorrect dosage of insulin. The physician was notified at 10:00 P.M. and gave orders to administer 1 milligram (mg) Glucagon (medication used to raise blood sugar) intramuscularly (IM), recheck the blood sugar, and send the resident to the emergency room (ER) for treatment and monitoring if needed. The report did not include the specific type and amount of insulin administered to the resident. Nursing progress notes, dated 5/15/24 at 11:04 P.M. to 5/16/24 at 1:30 P.M., indicated Resident L had a blood sugar of 49 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) at 11:00 P.M. The nurse attempted to give the resident orange juice, but the resident was not swallowing. The blood sugar was rechecked at 11:30 P.M. and was 47 mg/dL. Glucagon was administered in the resident's right thigh. The blood sugar at 12:00 A.M. was 110 mg/dL. At 12:30 A.M., the blood sugar was 69 mg/dL. At 1:04 A.M., Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was called. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) started an intravenous (IV) line and transported the resident to the ER by ambulance. A hospital triage report, dated 5/16/24 at 1:02 A.M., indicated facility staff reported Resident L was given 45 units of Lantus (a long-acting insulin) and 12 units of Novolog (a rapid-acting insulin) that were not prescribed to her. The EMTs gave the resident 250 milliliters (mL) of D10 (dextrose 10% solution given to symptomatic or suspected patients with low blood sugar). Blood sugar rose to 220 mg/dL in route to the hospital but was 110 mg/dL upon arrival to the ER. Resident L was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where she required a D10 IV drip and frequent blood sugar checks. An untimed handwritten statement from Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 8, dated 5/16/24, indicated that on the night of 5/15/24, she prepared insulins for her hallway as we always have done and asked a nurse to administer them to the residents. The nurse administering the insulins came to QMA 8 and indicated she had accidentally given Resident L insulin that was meant for Resident N. Hospital discharge papers, dated 5/17/24, indicated Resident L was discharged back to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of incidental insulin overdose and hypoglycemia. An untimed handwritten statement from Registered Nurse (RN) 32, dated 5/17/24, indicated on 5/15/24, she accidentally administered two doses of insulin in insulin pens to Resident L that were prepared by QMA 8 for Resident N. RN 32 indicated she thought the facility's protocol was for the QMAs to check a resident's blood sugar, draw up the insulin, and then a nurse would administer the insulin. RN 32 indicated the usual practice was for a QMA to prepare the insulin dose, label the insulin pen with a permanent marker, and set the insulin pen on the top of a medication cart. RN 32 indicated she was an internal float nurse, and she was not familiar with the residents on QMA 8's assignment for 5/15/24. On 8/23/24 at 9:47 A.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Clinical Support 5, and Clinical Support 7 indicated Resident L received the wrong medication resulting in an overdose because QMA 8 drew up insulin and RN 32 went to a hall she was not assigned to or was familiar with to give insulin that she hadn't prepared. Corporate policy did not allow for QMAs to administer insulin, and medications should only be given by the nurse who prepared them. On 8/23/24 at 10:04 A.M., the Administrator provided a QMA Parameters and Scope of Practice policy, revised 7/26/19, that indicated The following tasks shall NOT be included in the QMA scope of practice: Administer medication by the injection route, including the following: . Subcutaneous route . On 8/29/24 at 10:51 A.M., the Administrator provided a Medication Administration policy, revised 7/2034, that indicated Medications are prepared for one resident at a time . Perform the 5 [five] rights of medication: Right Resident, Right Medication, Right Dose, Right Route, Right Time. On 8/29/24 at 10:51 A.M., the Administrator provided an Insulin Pen Administration policy, dated 6/2018, that indicated Verify resident, physician orders and drug allergies . Ensure that insulin pen is labeled with resident name and used for only that resident.

Inspection of May 25, 2023
2 findingsBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident received supervision and consistent implementation of interventions to prevent falls for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. Resident 31 had a fall that resulted in a fracture to right femur. (Resident 31) Finding includes: During an interview on 5/21/23 at 11:14 A.M., Resident 31's spouse indicated Resident 31 had fallen several times and recently had a fall that resulted in sutures and staples. He was concerned that the falls resulted from a lack of staffing on the unit. He indicated he had been to management several times with the concern, and was told that Resident 31's falls could have been prevented if there was more staff. He indicated during the most recent fall, the CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) had left all the residents on the hall to get report from another CNA in another hall. At that time, Resident 31 was in her room and had gotten up by herself to walk toward the door. Her alarm was sounding, but because of the lack of staff on the unit, they did not get to her until she was on the floor in the doorway. On 5/23/23 at 8:48 A.M., Resident 31's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnosis included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, anxiety, and psychotic disorder. The most recent quarterly MDS (minimum data set) Assessment, dated 4/17/23, indicated Resident 31 was severely cognitively impaired, required extensive assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transferring, extensive assistance of one staff for toileting, and had experienced one fall since admission with no injury. A current falls care plan, dated 2/1/19, included the following interventions: Resident to be laid down after she is done eating prior to removing hall trays, dated 5/8/23. Resident activity to use hands, dated 12/16/22. Velcro shoes, dated 9/19/22. Resident to be at afternoon activities, dated 9/10/22. Floor mat with alarm. Check placement and function every shift, dated 6/2/21. Offer resident to speak with husband on the phone when she appears anxious, dated 11/20/20. Encourage resident to lay down in the afternoon, dated 10/14/20. Bed against the wall, dated 4/19/20. Non-skid socks at bedtime, dated 3/31/20. Visual reminder to the call light, dated 12/9/19. Call light in reach, dated 10/23/19. Personal items in reach, dated 10/23/19. Fall events included the following: Fall 1 9/10/22 at 3:12 P.M. Resident was sitting in her wheelchair in the dining room prior to the fall, got up out of her wheelchair, and fell . The fall was unwitnessed by staff. All staff were in other resident's rooms assisting them. The fall event indicated all fall interventions were in place and effective at that time, and would continue to monitor. An IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting, dated 9/12/23, indicated fall was witnessed, and the new intervention would be to have the resident attend afternoon activities. The falls care plan was updated with new intervention on 9/10/22. Fall 2 9/16/22 at 2:27 P.M. Nurse was notified by staff that resident was sitting in the hall on the floor. Resident 31 was observed sitting on buttocks with legs outstretched. A wheelchair was observed behind her. Fall was witnessed. The fall event indicated resident was bent down to mess with her shoes, and fell out of the wheelchair. The immediate intervention was to shorten the cord on the tabs alarm. The clinical record lacked an IDT meeting related to the fall. The falls care plan was updated with intervention Velcro shoes on 9/19/22. Fall 3 12/15/22 at 1:50 P.M. Nurse was notified by staff that resident was in the floor in the dining room. Resident 31 was observed laying on her back with her legs extended out. Resident 31 had a small red area above her right ear. Fall was unwitnessed. The fall event indicated the resident had been trying to stand up and staff would assist her back down in her chair. An IDT meeting, dated 12/16/22, indicated the new intervention would be to shorten the alarm string (completed on previous fall), and redirect to activity to use her hands. The falls care plan was updated with intervention for resident activity to use hands on 12/16/22. Fall 4 4/2/23 at 6:01 P.M. Resident was attempting to transfer self in the dining room from her wheelchair to another chair. Staff heard a chair scoot across the floor and then heard the alarm sounding. Resident 31 slid to the floor before staff could reach her. Fall was witnessed. The immediate intervention was to lay resident down in bed. An IDT meeting, dated 4/4/23, indicated the new intervention would be to place resident in bed after finishing dinner. Fall 5 5/7/23 at 6:30 P.M. Nurse was notified by staff that resident was on the floor. Resident was observed outside of room [ROOM NUMBER] with an alarm clip attached to her back. Resident 31's wheelchair was noted alarming in room [ROOM NUMBER]. At 6:00 A.M. the following day, a CNA notified the nurse that the resident was crying and grabbing at her right hip and right leg while attempting to assist her out of bed. An x-ray was ordered and showed an acute, displaced right femoral neck fracture (hip fracture). Resident 31 was sent to the ER (emergency room ) for treatment. An IDT meeting, dated 5/8/23, indicated the new intervention would be to have antithrust cushion to the wheelchair, and resident to be laid down after she is finished eating prior to removing hall trays. The care plan was updated 5/8/23 to include lying the resident down after meals before removing hall trays, but lacked any new intervention related to an antithrust cushion to the wheelchair. A radiology report, dated 5/8/23, indicated Resident 31 had a current fracture of the right femoral neck with displacement of the distal fragment. On 5/23/23 at 9:11 A.M., Resident 31 was observed sitting in the common area in a Broda chair during an exercise activity. A blanket was observed over her lap, and her feet were up. There was no hand activity observed in her lap or hands. On 5/23/23 at 1:32 P.M., Resident 31 was observed sitting in the dining area with her spouse. Resident was observed in a Broda chair with a blanket over her. There was no hand activity observed in her lap or hands. On 5/24 23 at 8:55 A.M., Resident 31 was observed in the dining area with a robe on. There was no hand activity observed in her lap or hands. During a continuous observation on 5/25/23 from 7:39 A.M. until 9:10 A.M., the following was observed: Resident 31 was observed sitting at a table with 2 other residents. She was observed sitting in a regular wheelchair facing the wall from across the table. An activity cloth was observed in her lap, but the resident was unaware of it, not acknowledging or touching it. A food cart was brought to the unit at 7:51 A.M. After all residents had finished the meal, CNA 25 and Activities 35 were observed to remove dishes and trays, and load the food cart. The food cart was taken out of the dining area at 8:54 A.M. At that time, CNA 25 and CNA 31 assisted another resident to their room. The food cart was taken off of the unit at 8:56 A.M. At 8:59 A.M., CNA 25 and CNA 31 assisted another resident into her wheelchair and into their room. At that time, CNA 25 indicated to CNA 51 in the hall all of the residents that needed assisted to their rooms, but did not mention Resident 31's name. At 9:10 A.M., QMA (Qualified Medication Aide) 33 asked Resident 31 if she wanted to go to exercises. The resident indicated she did, and QMA wheeled her down the hall. During an interview on 5/25/23 at 9:15 A.M., CNA 25 indicated she used her own judgement related to keeping Resident 31 up after meals or assisting to lay down. She indicated because she was awake more, she liked to keep her up between breakfast and lunch. During an interview on 5/25/23 at 10:15 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated an IDT meeting should have been conducted after each fall or accident. She indicated she was aware that a meeting was not documented after Resident 31's 9/16/22 fall, and thinks they may have completed one, but forgot to save it in the computer. During an interview on 5/25/23 at 11:05 A.M., RN (Registered Nurse) 23 indicated Resident 31 used to have a pull tab alarm that was currently discontinued. She indicated staff tries to keep her near at all times and engaged in some sort of activity. RN 23 indicated discontinuing the pull tab alarm had contributed to her falls, and she needed to have it again. She indicated though it did not prevent falls, staff was able to get to her before she fell with the alarm. During an interview on 5/25/23 at 11:19 A.M., the DON indicated the pull tab alarm was discontinued when the resident returned from the hospital after the most recent fall on 5/7/23 because upon her return, she was in a Broda chair. She indicated now that she was in a regular wheelchair, they were still discussing the need for the pull tab alarm to be reinstated. On 5/25/23 at 7:28 A.M., a current Fall Management Policy, revised 8/2022, was provided and indicated It is the policy of [company name] to ensure residents residing within the facility receive adequate supervision and or assistance to prevent injury related to falls . The care plan will be reviewed and updated, as necessary 3.1-45(a)

After care was performed, CNA 25 indicated staff should respect resident dignity by speaking with the resident while performing care, explain what they were doing, and try to ease the resident. 2. On 5/25/23 at 8:13 A.M., breakfast was observed in the Cottage Dining Room of the dementia unit. At that time, there were 11 residents seated in the dining room. CNA 25 was observed speaking loudly to Therapist 41 about the residents sitting in the dining room. CNA 25 indicated that Resident 62 was ok yesterday, then he was acting up during lunch. CNA 25 then indicated Resident 41 was ok about 90% of the time and was easier to give showers than the other residents. Therapist 41 indicated to CNA 25 that Resident 75 was so cute while sitting across from the resident. CNA 25 spoke to Therapist 41 from across the room about a conversation her and Resident 70 had the previous day. Therapist 41 then got up and walked to CNA 25 where they both discussed Resident 31's medications, behavior, and other medical status while CNA 25 was assisting Resident 31 to eat. During an interview on 5/25/23 at 10:16 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated staff should not talk to other staff members while assisting residents to eat or in the dining room with other residents. Staff should only be attentive to the resident they were attending. On 5/25/23 at 7:28 A.M., a current Resident Rights policy, revised 11/2016, was provided and indicated All staff members recognize the rights of residents at all times and residents assume their responsibilities to enable personal dignity, well being, and proper delivery of care 3.1-3(a)

The Director of Nurses (DoN) was interviewed, on 11/9/11 at 3:09 p.m., regarding the elopements of the resident. She indicated the elopements were investigated and the facility could not figure out how he got out the door. The wanderguard worked every time it was tested . The wanderguard company did reset the sensitivity after the first elopement. She indicated it was the same weekend staff and the same time of day both times. She indicated a consultant attempted to get through the doors and down the ramp while in a wheelchair and had difficulty. According to the DoN, no one admitted to hearing an alarm on either day. On 11/10/11 at 9:30 a.m., the DoN was queried regarding the wanderguard and how the wanderguard system worked, i.e. how the wanderguard could be turned off if a resident exited the door. At 10:10 a.m. on 11/10/11, the Administrator and DoN indicated the following regarding the current wanderguard system: When a resident with a wanderguard bracelet on approaches a wanderguarded door and gets within 3 feet of the door, the door locks down and an alarm goes off. If a staff person, or a visitor keys in the code into the key pad by the door, the door stays locked, unless the bar on the door is pushed for 15 seconds. If the bar is pushed for 15 seconds, a low beeping sound occurs and the door opens. If a wanderguarded resident goes through the door, a louder alarm occurs. According to the Administrator, who was not at the facility at the time of the events, a loud alarm should have occurred. According to the DoN, no one heard an alarm, according to statements taken at the time of the events. Review of 15 minute check documentation indicated the resident was observed at 12:00 noon by a facility nurse and was found outside in the parking lot of an apartment complex across a dead end street at 12:15 p.m., on 8/27/11.

The Director of Nursing (DoN) was interviewed, on 11/4/11 at 3:45 p.m., and indicated she was unaware of the resident having wandered off the unit. She indicated the Unit Manager may have taken care of the issue. The DoN and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADoN) indicated, at that time, the wanderguard alarm was not configured to alarm when a resident went through the Alzheimer's Unit doors. The unit was secured due to the use of a key pad to unlock the doors. The doors exiting the facility to the outside were controlled by the wanderguard. They indicated the resident would had to have followed someone out. An IDT (Interdisciplinary Team progress note) note, dated 11/4/11 (no time), indicated the following: "IDT this date R/T (related to) resident walked off unit on 10/03/11, was found just past nurses station on station I.
