During an interview on 07/08/2026 at 8:02 AM, LPN #1 stated she performed glucose checks for Resident #2 and Resident #11. She stated she had been educated to disinfect the multi-use glucometer between each resident using sanitizing wipes; however, she did not disinfect the glucometer between residents on the morning of 07/08/2026 because she thought that laying an alcohol wipe on the glucometer, that she would use to clean the resident's finger, would be sufficient to disinfect the machine. LPN #1 stated she had ample supply of sanitizing wipes available in the bottom drawer of her medication cart. During an interview on 07/08/2026 at 9:45 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she was made aware that LPN #1 had not disinfected the glucometer between resident use, and LPN #1 had received education to disinfect the glucometer between resident use with sanitizing wipes.

The SS Coordinator further stated that if a current facility resident was readmitted from the hospital with Medicare Part A, she would have the resident sign an ABN form when the resident returned from the hospital. During an interview on 07/08/2026 at 12:44 PM, the SS Coordinator stated that the ABN form had to be signed anytime a resident was on skilled Medicare services. The SS Coordinator stated the purpose of the ABN form was to give the facility permission to bill Medicare.

A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 04/29/2026, revealed Resident #63 had severe impairment in cognitive skills for daily decision-making and had short-term and long-term memory problems per a Staff Assessment of Mental Status (SAMS). The MDS also revealed the resident received 51% or more of their nutritional intake via a PEG tube. Resident #63's Care Plan Report, included a focus area initiated 11/02/2023, that indicated the resident had a PEG tube in place for hydration and nutrition needs related to Rett's syndrome and was at risk for complications related to having a PEG tube in place. Interventions directed staff to administer tube feedings as ordered by the physician and refer to physician orders for details (initiated 02/02/2023). Resident #63's Order Summary Report, dated 07/07/2026, revealed an order dated 10/28/2025 for Isosource 1.5 cal (calories) at 40 milliliters (mL) per hour via PEG tube. Further review revealed the order indicated that the resident's feeding may be off for up to four hours daily. Resident #63's Treatment Administration Record [TAR] for 07/2026 revealed staff documented that the resident's Isosource 1.5 was infusing at a rate of 40 mL per hour via PEG tube on 07/05/2026 and 07/06/2026. An observation on 07/06/2026 at 10:24 AM revealed Resident #63 was lying in bed with their tube feeding attached and running via a kangaroo infusion pump, which was located beside the resident's bed with a pillowcase draped over the intravenous (IV) pole. The nutritional supplement infusing was prelabeled as Nutren 1.5 and contained a handwritten date of 07/06/2026 at 12:12 AM and the initials of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #4. During an observation and concurrent interview on 07/06/2026 at 10:32 AM, CNA #2 observed Resident #63's tube feeding and confirmed that the tube feeding was labeled Nutren 1.5. During an interview on 07/07/2026 at 11:25 AM, LPN #1 stated she worked with Resident #63, and although she provided PEG tube care and administered medication to the resident via the PEG tube, she did not verify the type of nutritional supplement that was infusing. LPN #1 stated she should have verified that the resident was receiving the ordered nutritional supplement via PEG tube. During an interview on 07/07/2026 at 11:42 AM, LPN #3 stated he worked on the night of 07/06/2026 and noticed Resident #63 had the incorrect nutritional supplemental feeding running between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM. He stated that at the time he sent a text message to the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) to notify her and obtain directions. LPN #3 stated that when he did not receive a return call after midnight, he changed the resident's tube feeding formula to Isosource 1.5 as ordered. He stated he had been taught to check the tube feeding formula to the resident's physician's orders, but he did not notify the provider or the dietician for further directions at the time. He stated he also could not verify how much of the incorrect nutritional supplement had been infused via PEG tube but stated it was most of the bag because it was time for the tube feeding to be changed when he realized it. An attempt was made to contact LPN #4 on 07/07/2026 at 11:33 AM, 07/08/2026 at 9:18 AM, and 07/08/2026 at 6:45 PM and were unsuccessful. During an interview on 07/08/2026 at 10:28 AM, the Registered Dietician (RD) stated that she had minor concerns with Resident #63 receiving Nutren 1.5 instead of Isosource 1.5 due to the fiber content. She stated that although it was not a significant amount, the resident did not receive the same amount of fiber content that would have been provided with the ordered Isosource 1.5 feedings. During an interview on 07/09/2026 at 8:38 AM, the ADON stated each nurse on duty should have checked Resident #63's nutritional formula to verify the correct formula and rate were infusing and should have notified the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Medical Director (MD) immediately if it was incorrect. The ADON stated that the incorrect nutritional formula should have been stopped, and the correct nutritional formula should have been initiated. During an interview on 07/09/2026 at 10:02 AM, the DON stated that she expected nurses to compare the physician's order to the formula prior to initiation, and each nurse following the initiation of the nutritional formula should verify the correct formula was being infused. During an interview on 07/09/2026 at 10:30 AM, the Administrator stated she expected nurses to verify the correct nutritional formula that was infusing each shift. During an interview on 07/09/2026 at 10:45 AM, the MD stated he was made aware that Resident #63 received the incorrect nutritional formula via PEG tube. He stated although he expected nurses to verify residents were receiving the correct nutritional formula, he did not have any significant concern that Resident #63 received the incorrect nutritional formula as the only difference between the ordered formula and the infused formula was the fiber content.
