The deficient practice had the potential for the resident's inadequate intake and possible weight loss and contributed to feeling of helplessness of the resident. Findings: During a review of Resident 59's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/29/2023, and readmitted the resident on 5/27/2025, with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and need for assistance with personal care.

The deficient practice had the potential for residents to develop complications such as shortness of breath and desaturation (low levels of oxygen in the blood) and respiratory infections. Findings: During a review of Resident 50's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/5/2024, and readmitted the resident on 4/30/2025, with diagnoses including sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), pneumonitis (inflammation of the lungs), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing).

One of three inspected medications carts (Sub-Acute Cart 2) by failing to accurately account for one dose of oxycodone (a controlled medication used to treat pain) 10 milligrams (mg - a unit of measure for mass) affecting Resident 27. This deficient practice increased the risk of diversion (any use other than that intended by the prescriber) of controlled mediations (medications with a high risk for diversion) and the risk that Resident 27 could have received too much or too little medication due to lack of documentation possibly resulting in serious health complications requiring hospitalization. 2.

This failure resulted in a delay in providing care and services to Resident 1, which may have led to further physical decline of Resident 1 prior to the arrival of emergency personnel. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, dated 7/9/2025, the admission Record indicated Resident 1's diagnoses include chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood or eliminate enough carbon dioxide from the body), sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to…

This failure had the potential to result in gastrointestinal (GI-relating to stomach and intestines) infection to Resident 3. Findings: During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the neck fitted with a device to allow…

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that its medication error rate was less than 5 percent (%) due to 2 errors observed out of 31 total opportunities (error rate of 6.45%).

This deficient practice had the potential to cause increased in potassium (an essential mineral the body needs to function properly), sodium (an element found in salt), phosphorus (a mineral that naturally occurs in many foods that play roles in the body) intake and decrease food intake resulting to weight loss. Findings: During a review of Resident 29's admission Record, the admission record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 29 on 11/23/2021 then readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including, but not limited to, end stage renal disease (final, permanent stage, when kidneys could no longer function on its own), dependence on renal dialysis…

Ensure Resident 1 ' s physician orders were documented in the resident ' s medical records. This deficient practice had the potential for inaccurate medical documentation and cause a delay in provision of appropriate interventions for Resident 1. Findings: A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 4/3/2024 with diagnoses including end stage renal disease (occurs when the kidney [the pair of organs that remove wasted and extra fluid from the body] no longer work as they should to meet the body ' s needs), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar [glucose]), and hypotension (the pressure of…
