Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 12/2024 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy, chronic kidney disease, and long-term use of insulin. During the acuity interview on 10/27/25, Resident 4 was identified as self-administering all of his/her medications, including insulin (to control blood glucose level). Observations were made of the resident's self-administration of medication on 10/28/25, interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 10/09/25, was reviewed. Resident 4's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Instructions on signs and symptoms of hypo- and hyperglycemia to report; * Instructions for proper maintenance of blood glucose monitor on left upper extremity and how to monitor for malfunctions; * Instructions to staff on blood glucose monitoring protocol when resident slept late and skipped meals; * Electric wheelchair equipment precautions and instructions for proper maintenance; and * Assistance required with dressing. During the interview with the resident on 10/28/25 at 11:29 am, s/he stated the need for one-person assistance with dressing and putting his/her left knee brace on. S/he also expressed a fear of blood glucose level dropping in the morning around 5:00 to 6:00 am: “I don’t know when my blood sugar goes low. I feel and know when it is low during the day. I have glucose tablets, but they don’t work fast. I like to have Pepsi. Then it [blood glucose] is up in five minutes.” Staff 14 (MT/CG) was interviewed on 10/30/25 at 12:25 pm and confirmed Resident 4 required one-person assist with “morning routine especially dressing, getting up, putting brace on … and reminders to go to meals because [s/he] likes to nap a lot.” Staff 14 and Staff 8 (MT), in an interview on 10/29/25 at 3:38 pm, both stated Resident 4 was fully independent with blood glucose monitoring and administration of all medications. The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Executive Director), Staff 2 (Director of Health Services/RN), Staff 3 (LPN), and Staff 18 (VP of Clinical Operations) on 10/30/25 at 2:14 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 08/2025 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation and hypertension.

They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the community in 05/2022 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease stage 3, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, and disorientation.

The following was identified: The service plan was not reflective of the resident’s current care needs and/or was not implemented in the following areas: * Fortified meals; * Meal set-up and as-needed assistance with preparing meals delivered to the resident’s room; and * Smoking status.

The need to ensure service plans were reflective of the residents’ current care needs and were implemented, was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Director of Health Services/RN), Staff 3 (LPN), and Staff 18 (VP of Clinical Operations) on 10/30/25 at 3:18 pm.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication and treatment orders were carried out as prescribed for 1 of 5 sampled residents (# 2) whose orders were reviewed. This resulted in unnecessary pain and a visit to the emergency department for Resident 2. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 had a history of urinary tract infections (UTI) and had a standing, as-needed order to obtain a urine specimen if the resident showed signs or symptoms of a UTI, including frequency, burning, urgency, painful urination, blood in urine, or change in behavior, and if the licensed nurse determined a positive result, to send it in for a culture and sensitivity test. On 07/14/25, staff requested the resident’s legally authorized prescriber for a urinary analysis (UA) and culture and sensitivity order due to the resident having blood in his/her catheter bag, urge to urinate, complaints of pain, and increased confusion. On 07/15/25, the facility received a signed order for a UA and culture and sensitivity test. Staff continued to document the resident’s status including increased confusion. There was no documented evidence a urine sample was collected as ordered.

Upon receipt of the UA results, there was no documented evidence the legally authorized prescriber was notified. On 08/01/25 the resident was placed on alert for possible UTI. Staff continued to document the resident’s status, including increased confusion and blood in his/her urine, from 08/01/25 through 08/04/25. On 08/05/25, Resident 2 was sent to the emergency department for “extreme pain,” signs of infection, and increased confusion. The resident was diagnosed with a UTI and provided an order for antibiotics. The facility failed to carry out physician orders as prescribed, which resulted in unnecessary pain and a visit to the emergency department. The need to ensure orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Director of Health Services/RN), Staff 3 (LPN), and Staff 18 (VP of Clinical Operations) on 10/30/25 at 3:18 pm.
