Inspection Findings:
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure physician orders were carried out as prescribed for 1 of 4 sampled residents (# 3) whose orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:
Resident 3 moved into the facility in 01/2025 with diagnoses including schizophrenia, dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The resident’s 05/01/25 – 06/16/25 MARs and physician’s orders were reviewed. Staff interviews were conducted and showed the following:
a. A 05/14/25 physician order indicated to administer fluticasone/samlet 250/50 mcg one puff inhale twice a day (nasal spray used for allergies).
The MAR showed the medication was not transcribed onto the 06/2025 MAR. The 05/2025 MAR showed the medication was discontinued on 05/20/25. Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) reported the medication was accidentally discontinued by the pharmacy. However, when a medication was discontinued a signed physician’s order should have been faxed to the facility. This process was not followed, and the facility was unable to identify the error.
b. A 05/14/25 physician order indicated to administer n-acetyl cysteine 600 mg 2 capsules twice daily for supplement. The MAR showed the medication was not administered to the resident on 10 occasions, with staff documenting “med [medication] not available.”
The need to ensure physician orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) on 06/18/25. He acknowledged the findings.

2.) The community RCCs have received additional training on the ABST tool. RCCs and RN/LN will review any changes to care plans and ABST each day during clinical drilldown and will update the ABST at that time. RCCs will coordinate with direct care staff regarding the length of time care tasks take to perform, prior to updating the ABST. The RCC and/or LN will utilize the community's internal tool to calculate the time needed for unscheduled needs and will ensure that is reflective in the ABST.
3.) The ABST will be reviewed/audited at least once weekly for all residents who have care plan changes and/or significant change of condition by the community RCC and RN/LN. All resident care changes will be reviewed and discussed daily during stand-up to ensure ABST tasks are updated on an as needed basis (outside of standard ABST updates) to ensure care times remain accurate.
4.) The community administrator, RCC and RN will oversee that all corrections are completed.

Inspection Findings:
Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure they were staffing to meet the requirements under the Specific Needs Contract. Findings include, but are not limited to:
The Acuity-Based Staffing Tool (ABST) data, Specific Needs Contract, staffing plan, staff time reports, and the staff schedule was reviewed from 06/08/25 through 06/18/25. The following was identified:
a. The Specific Needs Contract stated “Contractor shall provide a minimum ratio of 1 direct care staff for every 6 Individuals during day and swing shifts. Contractor shall provide a minimum ratio of 1 direct care staff for every 7 Individuals during night shift. Contractor shall increase staffing when it is warranted by Individual acuity… In addition to the above direct care staffing, regardless of census, Contractor shall ensure each shift includes one (1) designated Medication Aide per shift when Individual census is 26 or less and two (2) per shift for an Individual census of 27 or higher…”
Upon entrance of the facility on 06/16/25 at 9:00 am, the resident census was 42. According to the Specific Needs Contract, the facility was required to have seven direct care staff and two MTs.
The posted staffing plan in the facility lobby indicated the following information:
* Day shift (6:00 am – 6:00 pm): seven CGs and two MTs; and
* NOC shift (6:00 pm – 6:00 am): six CGs and two MTs.
Observations and interviews with direct care staff on 06/16/25 between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm revealed the facility had four direct care staff (CGs), three less than required by the Special Needs Contract and staffing plan posted by the facility.
b. Facility Staff Time reports, the schedule and facility census, reviewed from 06/08/25 to 06/15/25, revealed six of 17 shifts, or 35%, that the facility did not have the required number of direct care staff (CGs) per the census and Special Needs Contract.
During interviews with Staff 7 (Business Office Manager) on 06/18/25 at 11:25 am, she acknowledged the facility did not consistently staff the required number of direct care staff (CGs) per the Special Needs Contract.
The need to ensure the facility was staffing to meet the requirements under the Specific Needs contract was discussed with Staff 2 (Administrator Designee – Compliance Specialist) and Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) on 06/18/25. The findings were acknowledged.
