F760D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors for 1 of 3 residents reviewed. A controlled substance medication was given routinely instead of as needed. (Resident C) This deficient practice was corrected on August 11, 2026, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. Finding includes: On 8/24/26 at 11:25 a.m., Resident C's clinical record was reviewed. Resident C's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia, congestive heart failure (a chronic condition where the heart muscle cannot pump blood efficiently), and cerebrovascular disease (a term for any condition that temporarily or permanently reduces blood flow or damages blood vessels in the brain). A Nursing Progress Note, dated 8/7/26 at 3:31 p.m., indicated Resident C returned to the facility from the hospital and all orders were entered into the eMAR (electronic medication administration record system). A Hospital Discharge summary, dated from 8/4/7 to 8/7/26, included, but was not limited to, an order to start taking Lorazepam (an anti-anxiety medication) 0.5 mg (milligrams)/0.25 mL (milliliters) concentrated oral solution as follows: Take 0.25 mL (0.5 mg total) by mouth every 2 (two) hours as needed for Anxiety.A review of the eMAR record for Resident C's lorazepam order from 8/7/26 through 8/11/26 indicated the following: Lorazepam concentrate; 2 mg/mL (equivalent to 0.5 mg/0.25 mL); amount to administer; give 0.25 mL (equivalent to 0.5 mg per dose); sublingual (under the tongue) with a frequency of every 2 hours scheduled on every even hour. The lorazepam order was marked as either given, or given but given late, for every 2-hour medication administration time on the even hours from 10:00 p.m. on 8/7/26 until 6:00 a.m. on 8/10/26 with the exception of the 2:00 p.m. dose on 8/8/26, which was marked as not administered due to condition. The lorazepam order was marked as not administered discontinued on 8/10/26 for the 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and 12:00 p.m. scheduled medication times, and the order was no longer active in the eMAR after 2:00 p.m. on 8/10/26. During an interview on 8/24/26 at 11:18 a.m., a family member of Resident C indicated that on Monday August 10, Resident C was extremely lethargic and overmedicated. Family noted that when Resident C came back on Friday August 7, the resident was acting fine, and that on Saturday August 8 the resident seemed more tired. On Monday August 10, the resident was very lethargic and the family indicated nursing staff had realized the medication had been put in as scheduled every 2 hours, instead of able to be given every 2 hours as needed for symptoms of anxiety. During an interview on 8/25/26 at 9:10 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the eMAR record indicated that Resident C had received lorazepam doses every 2 hours from Friday August 7 at 10:00 p.m. though Monday August 10 at 6:00 a.m., with the except of the one dose held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday August 8. The DON stated that the order should not have been entered into the eMAR system as an order to give every 2 hours scheduled, it should have been for every 2 hours as needed for appropriate symptoms if present as stated in the hospital discharge orders. On 8/25/26 at 11:10 a.m., the DON provided a copy of a Medication Administration: General Policies and Procedures policy, and indicated it was the policy currently in use by the facility. A review of the policy indicated that all medications were to be administered only as prescribed by a physician.This deficient practice was corrected on August 11, 2026, after the facility implemented a systemic plan of correction that included the following actions: staff education on verifying admission orders for accuracy and ongoing monitoring.This citation relates to Intake 3154411.410 IAC (Indiana Administrative Code) 16.2-3.1-48(c)(2)

F689D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to prevent a cognitively impaired resident residing on a locked memory care unit from exiting from the facility for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for elopement. (Resident E) The deficient practice was corrected on August 14, 2026, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. Finding includes: On 8/24/26 at 12:40 p.m., Resident E's clinical record was reviewed. Resident E's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Resident E admitted to the facility for placement on their locked memory care unit. An admission Assessment, dated 5/1/26, indicated that Resident E did not wander aimlessly, did not exhibit exit seeking behaviors, and did not have a history of elopement but that resident was appropriate for the locked memory care unit due to diagnoses and cognitive deficits. Resident E's most recent Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 8/3/26, indicated that resident was severely cognitively impaired. On 8/14/26 with a noted time of incident of 9:10 a.m., a facility reportable incident indicated Resident E had left the facility unaccompanied, staff were notified, and assisted the resident back into the facility. A Nursing Progress Note, dated 8/14/26 at 9:53 a.m., indicated Resident E followed a laundry staff member off of the memory care unit. At the front door, another staff member thought Resident E was a visitor and allowed him out the door. A call to the facility was received from the emergency room from the hospital facility next door to the facility saying they had a confused resident there with no identification. Staff immediately went to the emergency room next door to get Resident E. During an interview on 8/24/26 at 11:55 a.m., the Executive Director (ED), Director of Nursing (DON), Assistant Administrator (AA), and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) indicated Resident E was independently ambulatory and when Laundry Staff 7 had their cart trying to get through the memory care entrance door, Resident E approached fully dressed in a hat and jacket and said Let's go to Laundry Staff 7. Laundry Staff 7 thought Resident E was a visitor leaving the unit and let Resident E through. At the front desk, the AA was covering the front door at that time, saw Resident E who waved at the AA and the AA allowed Resident E out the front door. The facility received a call that a confused resident without identification was next door and staff immediately went to check where it was confirmed that it was Resident E. The ED estimated the time from Resident E leaving memory care unit door until Resident E was back in the facility was approximately 20 minutes. They stated that Resident E should not have been allowed out of the memory care unit door or out the front door. On 8/24/26 at 1:00 p.m., the memory care unit and front door were observed. The locked and keypad coded memory care unit door exits near the therapy gym and door was located approximately 50 feet from the front lobby door and the main entrance to facility. Outside the main entrance facing generally south was a large parking lot area and side road. A bit further south were more parking lot areas for the nearby hospital and to the immediate southeast next to the facility, approximately a few hundred feet away, was the main emergency room entrance for the hospital next to the facility. During an interview on 8/24/26 at 1:05 p.m., the Memory Care Coordinator (MCC) indicated that they went next door to get Resident E when the emergency department called the facility. The MCC said Resident E had wandered into other rooms since being there, but was easily redirected back to Resident E's own room. The MCC indicated that Resident E had previously not had any exit seeking behaviors or purposeful wandering and Resident E usually preferred to stay in his own room. The MCC indicated that Resident E's spouse took Resident E out often. The MCC indicated the approximate time from Resident E leaving the unit to returning to facility was about 15 minutes. The MCC indicated that Resident E should not have been let out of memory care unit or let out of the front door. This deficient practice was corrected on August 14, 2026, after the facility implemented a systemic plan of correction that included the following actions: staff education on LOA (Leave of Absence), residents attempting to leave, elopement and elopement risk policies, with ongoing monitoring.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure follow-up for physician orders and instructions for care were obtained for a new positioning device (splint) following an off-site medical appointment for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for splints. (Resident 98) Findings includes: On 5/6/26 at 1:20 p.m., Resident 98 was observed sitting in a rocking chair in the activity room. Resident 98 was observed wearing a black positioning device (splint) on her left wrist. During an interview at that time, Resident 98 indicated she had worn the splint for a month or so. On 5/6/26 at 1:02 p.m., Resident 98's clinical record was reviewed. The diagnosis included, but was not limited to, a fractured carpal bone (small bone located in the left wrist). The fracture occurred on 2/20/26 as a result of a fall. The admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 2/19/26, indicated Resident 98 was severely cognitively impaired. A progress note, dated 2/20/26 at 6:01 p.m., indicated Resident 98 had sustained a fall while in the nursing facility and as a result fractured her left wrist. Resident 98 had been transferred to the hospital emergency room for evaluation and treatment. A progress note, dated 3/30/26 at 10:54 a.m., indicated Resident 98 was accompanied by an unidentified Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) for a follow-up medical appointment with the orthopedic physician related to the fractured wrist.Resident returned to the facility with removal of cast.left forearm.resident has on a black splint with tie string.Resident is to wear splint at all times except for bathing.no paperwork received at this time and the CNA reported that the doctor office will call facility with the follow-up. Resident 98's clinical record lacked an updated physician order and associated instructions regarding the use and care of the splint, documentation related to the facility staff having contacted the physician for an updated physician order and associated instructions, and a revised care plan related to the new splint device. During an interview on 5/11/26 at 9:45 a.m., Unit Manager 3 indicated Resident 98's care plan had not been revised to include the new splint device until 5/8/26. During an interview on 5/11/26 at 11:18 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated Resident 98's care plan should have been updated in March when she began wearing the splint. During an interview, on 5/11/26 at 1:30 p.m., the DON indicated the clinical record lacked a physician's order that indicated Resident 98 no longer required a cast and was to utilize a splint for the resident's left wrist. The clinical record also lacked the physician's instructions regarding the use and care of the splint. The nursing staff should have followed up with the physician. During an interview on 5/12/26 at 9:00 a.m., Unit Manager 3 indicated on 2/20/26 Resident 98 fell and sustained a fractured wrist. She wore a cast until 3/30/26 at which time the physician removed the cast and then applied a black splint. The physician's office neglected to provide to the facility, a new order for the splint and the associated instructions for the splint. The facility staff should have contacted the physician to obtain current medical information related to the resident's updated health status. During an interview on 5/12/26 at 11:15 a.m., the DON indicated the facility lacked a policy for obtaining updated physician orders, progress notes, and specific instructions for the facility. On 5/11/26 at 1:00 p.m., the DON provided a copy of the Care Plan, Comprehensive Person-Centered policy, dated December 2016, and indicated it was the current policy in use by the facility. A review of the document indicated, .Assessments of residents are ongoing, and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents' condition change. 410 IAC (Indiana Administrative Code) 16.2-3.1-35(g)(1)

Further information was requested from the Director of Nursing (DON), on 4/18/13 at 1:30 p.m. During an interview with the DON on 4/18/13 at 3:30 p.m., she indicated the medical doctor had not been notified as indicated by orders. 2. The clinical record of Resident #B was reviewed on 4/19/13 at 9:00 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident #B was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. A care plan for Resident #B, dated 3/5/13, indicated a problem of, "Resident is at risk for skin breakdown (related to) impaired mobility. The goal was, "Resident will be free from skin breakdown." Approaches included, "Weekly skin assessment." Review of skin assessments for Resident #B, indicated they had been done on 3/7/13, 3/14/13, 3/21/13, and 4/8/13. No documentation was found which indicated Resident #B's skin had been assessed between 3/21/13 and 4/8/13, or after 4/8/13. Further information was requested from the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/19/13 at 3:00 p.m. regarding skin assessments done between 3/21/113 and 4/8/13, and after 4/8/13. She indicated pressure ulcer evaluations had been done on Resident #B's coccyx pressure ulcer, but no other overall skin assessments had been done during these weeks to monitor for further skin breakdown. 3. The clinical record of Resident #C was reviewed on 4/18/13 at 11:00 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident #C was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
