This survey cited 13 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide and maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for a census of 85, when:1. Resident 19's overbed headlight remained continuously on because the pull string was broken; and,2. Resident 40, and Resident 7 had chipped walls and cracked paint behind their bed frames.These deficient practices demonstrated a lack of effective systems to identify, report, and correct environmental concerns resulting in Resident 19, Resident 40, and Resident 7 not feeling supported, treated with dignity and comfort, or provided a home-like living environment.Findings: 1. A review of Resident 19's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 19 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses of, but not limited to need for assistance with personal care, and generalized muscle weakness. During an interview on 12/16/25, at 10 AM, in Resident 19's room, with Resident 19, Resident 19 stated that for the past three days, the overbed headlight remained continuously on because the pull string was broken. Resident 19 stated the issue was reported to two certified nursing assistants (CNAs); however, no staff came to the room to assess or repair the light. Resident 19 further stated she had reported the issue to another CNA today and when the CNA checked the maintenance logbook, they found that nothing had been reported. Resident 19 stated she was unable to sleep well at night due to the constant light exposure. Resident 19 further stated that not sleeping well made her feel tired and affected her ability to join activities. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25, at 10:09 AM, in Resident 19's room, with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD confirmed Resident 19's overbed headlight was on and the pull string was broken. The DSD stated that staff who noticed problems or received complaints would write them in the maintenance logbook and the Director of Maintenance (DM) would then check and fix the issues, signing off once completed. The DSD further stated Resident 19 could not turn the overbed headlight on and off because the pull string was broken. The DSD stated that the broken pull string prevented Resident 19 from turning the overbed headlight on and off and this issue affected Resident 19's safety and comfort and made it difficult to sleep. During an interview on 12/17/25, at 8:15 AM, in Resident 19's room, with Resident 19, Resident 19 stated she had not been able to sleep well last night because the light was continuously on. Resident 19 stated it was easy to fix the broken pull string, but no one came back yesterday even though the certified nursing assistant (CNA) and the licensed nurse (LN) had reported it in the maintenance logbook. During an interview on 12/18/25, at 12:09 PM, with certified nurse assistant (CNA) 3, CNA 3 stated (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm that on the morning of 12/15/25, Resident 19 told her that the overbed headlight wasn't turning off. Resident 19 stated she had already reported the broken pull string to two other CNAs. CNA 3 stated that she checked the maintenance logbook to see if anyone reported Resident 19's broken pull string and found nothing documented. CNA 3 stated on 12/15/25, she made a report stating that Resident 19's overbed headlight needed to be fixed. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 12/18/25, at 1:31 PM, with the Medical Record Director (MRD), the MRD stated that when she made her morning rounds with Resident 19, the overbed headlight was still broken. The MRD stated that she checked the maintenance logbook and found that CNA 3 reported it on 12/15/25, and the DSD reported it on 12/16/25. The MRD stated that on 12/17/25, at around 7:30 AM, the MRD saw that the pull string was still not fixed and stated that she added another report to the maintenance logbook. The MRD stated that when Resident 19's overbed headlight was still not fixed, it caused many problems like grumpiness, frustration, poor sleep, discomfort, and tiredness. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25, at 4:10 PM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated that she expected the broken light string over Resident 19's bed to be fixed quickly. The ADON confirmed that the broken pull string for Resident 19's overbed headlight had been reported three times in the maintenance logbook on 12/15/25, 12/16/25, and 12/17/25, with all entries signed off as completed. The ADON stated that documenting the issue as fixed when it wasn't was incorrect and unacceptable. The ADON further stated that failing to fix Resident 19's broken pull string for the overbed headlight in a timely manner affected Resident 19's comfort, health, and safety and potentially harmed Resident 19's trust in the facility, which should not have happened. During an interview on 12/19/25, at 8:12 AM, with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated that fixing Resident 19's broken pull string for the overbed headlight was an urgent issue. The ADM further stated he expected the problem to be fixed the same day it was first reported in the maintenance logbook. The ADM stated that issues like the broken pull string in Resident 19's room, which affected Resident 19's health, safety, and well-being, were important and needed immediate attention.

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR- a service to ensure that individuals with mental illness are able to receive specialized services) Level II screening was completed for 1 of 24 sampled residents (Resident 6).This failure had the potential for Resident 6 not to receive adequate services to prevent mental health decline.Findings:A review of Resident 6's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 6 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of, but not limited to unspecified schizophrenia (a serious, chronic brain disorder that disrupts thinking, feeling, and behavior, making it hard to distinguish reality from imagination, often involving hallucinations [like hearing voices] and delusions [false beliefs]).During a review of Resident 6's clinical record titled, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I Screening, dated 2/25/25, the record indicated, .Result of Level I Screening : Level I - Positive for SMI (Serious Mental Illness).Diagnosis and symptoms of Schizophrenia Disorder.Combative/Abusive Behavior.Grandiose Delusions, Irritability & Anger.The individual has been prescribed psychotropic medications for serious mental illness.Case State : Level II.During a review of Resident 6's clinical record titled, SUBJECT: NOTICE OF PASRR LEVEL I SCREENING RESULTS, dated 2/25/25, the record indicated, .Your Level I Screening indicates that a SMI Level II Mental Health Evaluation is required.Your facility will be contacted within two to four days to set up an appointment for an evaluator to conduct a Level II Mental Health Evaluation.During a review of Resident 6's clinical record titled, SUBJECT: NOTICE OF ATTEMPTED EVALUATION, dated 3/2/25, the record indicated, .UNABLE TO COMPLETE LEVEL II EVALUATION FOR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI).Facility staff were unresponsive to two or more separate attempts of communication within 48 hours of the Level I Screening.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25, at 11:19 AM, with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), Resident 6's clinical record was reviewed. The DSD confirmed that Resident 6 had a diagnosis of Schizophrenia, and his Level I screening was positive. The DSD further confirmed that a Level II screening did not occur. The DSD stated that a Level II screening should have taken place for Resident 6 in a reasonable time frame and that he should not have had to wait 10 months to potentially get a screening done. The DSD further stated that all residents should be able to get the help that they need so the facility would know what interventions would be needed to care for them.During an interview on 12/18/25, at 11:59 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON explained that the PASSR was a screening tool used mostly to help residents that are dealing with mental health issues. The DON stated that 10 months was too long to wait to conduct a screening and that it should have been done in a timely manner for Resident 6. The DON further stated the level of care that should have been provided for Resident 6 would not be met by being unable to assess the specific needs for him. During a review of the facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, admission Criteria, revised 3/2019, the P&P indicated, .All new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders (MD), intellectual disabilities (ID) or related disorders (RD) per the Medicaid Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) process. The facility conducts a Level I PASARR screen for all potential admissions, regardless of payer source, to determine if the individual meets the criteria for a MD, TD or RD. If the level I screen indicates that the individual may meet the criteria for a MD, LO, or RD, he or she is referred to the state PASARR representative for the level II (evaluation and determination) screening process.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received appropriate medical evaluation and treatment for a reported vision concern for 1 out of 24 sampled residents (Resident 65) when Resident 65 was not seen or examined by an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating all eye diseases).This failure placed Resident 65 at risk for continued visual impairment, functional decline, and psychosocial distress.Findings:A review of Resident 65's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 65 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of, but not limited to diabetes mellitus (a condition where the body cannot control blood sugar levels), dry eye syndrome (when your eyes don't make enough good quality tears to stay lubricated leading to a scratchy, burning feeling, redness, and blurry vision), depression (a condition causing persistent sadness and loss of interest), anxiety disorder (a mental condition where you experience excessive, persistent worry, fear or nervousness that doesn't go away and interferes with daily life), need for assistance with personal care, and generalized muscle weakness.During an interview on 12/16/25, at 10:23 AM, in Resident 65's room, with Resident 65, Resident 65 stated that she had seen an optometrist (an eye healthcare provider who performs eye exams and prescribes corrective glasses) earlier in the year. Resident 65 further stated she was diagnosed with cataracts (a clouding of the eye's natural lens) and that wearing glasses did not help much. Resident 65 stated she could see better before coming to the facility, but now her vision was very poor. Resident 65 further stated that watching TV was just like seeing shadows, her vision kept worsening, and she had trouble reading books and moving around her room. Resident 65 stated that both her Medical Doctor (MD) and the optometrist told her she needed to see an ophthalmologist because her vision was getting worse. Resident 65 further stated no one helped her make an appointment and she had not seen an ophthalmologist yet. Resident 65 stated that she loved watching TV, reading books and enjoyed walking outside. Resident 65 further stated that she felt that seeing an ophthalmologist was very important for her and not being able to see one affected her emotionally and physically.During an interview on 12/18/25, at 9:47 AM, with the Activity Director (AD), the AD stated Resident 65 was not completely blind and with the help of a magnifying lens, Resident 65 still enjoyed reading novels and watching TV in her room. The AD confirmed that Resident 65's preference for activities such as reading and watching TV was very important to Resident 65.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25, at 10:11 AM, with the Minimum Data Set (MDS - clinical assessment tool used in nursing homes) Coordinator, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that on 8/14/24, the MD had ordered a referral for Resident 65 to see an ophthalmologist. The MDS Coordinator stated she did not find any record showing that Resident 65 had been referred to or seen by an ophthalmologist after the doctor made the order. The MDS Coordinator further stated there was no record showing that Resident 65 was informed about the ophthalmologist appointment, refused it, or that the appointment was being scheduled.During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/25, at 2:26 PM, with the Social Service Director (SSD), the SSD confirmed that an optometrist had seen and evaluated Resident 65 on 4/25. The SSD stated the optometrist recommended that Resident 65 be seen by an ophthalmologist due to cataracts in both eyes. The SSD further stated that they had informed the Receptionist Clerk (RC) about the optometrist's referral for Resident 65 to see an ophthalmologist and admitted that this referral was not communicated until today (12/18/25). The SSD stated that there was no system in place for managing referrals. The SSD further stated that no follow-up was done when the MD first ordered the ophthalmologist referral on 8/14/24 and when the optometrist recommended an ophthalmologist consult due to Resident 65's cataracts in both eyes on 4/25.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 76) was provided with appropriate care and services with enteral feeding (also referred to as G-Tube feeding, gastrostomy tube feeding, the delivery of food and nutrients through a feeding tube directly into the stomach or part of the intestines) when Resident 76's enteral feeding orders were not carried out as recommended by the Registered Dietitian (RD).This failure had the potential for Resident 76 not to receive adequate enteral nutrition and hydration.Findings:A review of Resident 76's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 76 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including, but not limited to end stage renal disease (when kidneys are failing and cannot filter waste and extra fluid from the blood anymore), dependence on renal dialysis (medical treatment that acts like artificial kidneys filtering waste products and extra fluid from blood when kidneys can no longer do it), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids), and encounter for attention to gastrostomy (a surgical procedure to create an opening from the outside of the abdomen directly into the stomach, usually to insert a tube (a G-tube) for long-term feeding, medication delivery, or stomach drainage when a person cannot eat or swallow properly).During a review of Resident 76's clinical record titled, Progress Notes, dated 11/25/25, the progress note by the RD indicated, .Stop feeds [sic] from 0600-1200 on dialysis days (MWF) due to dialysis as well as ADL [activities of daily living] care, which is about 20 min [minutes] per shift per day. Recommend stopping feeds if patient will need to be transported for any reasons authorized by SNF [skilled nursing facility].

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pharmacy services were maintained for a census of 85 when:1. Non-narcotic (medications that are not opioids-not addictive) prescription medication destruction records were either not signed and/or co-signed by licensed nurses in 17 out of 24 destruction records reviewed in one of two medication rooms (Med Room Unit 1) observed; and,2. Three unidentified pills were found in a medication cup on top of a storage container beside Resident 40's bed unattended and unsupervised.This failure had the potential for drug diversion (unlawful use of prescription drug by unauthorized individuals) or misuse of prescribed medications due to unsafe disposition practices and Resident 40 not receiving important medication as prescribed.Findings:1. During an interview and record review on 12/18/25, at 9:58 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 4, the non-narcotic destruction records from 2024 and 2025 titled, Medication Disposition Sheet, dated 7/18/24, 1/2/25, 1/30/25, 3/1/25, 6/18/25, 7/10/25, and 9/26/25 were reviewed. There were 17 out of 24 sheets reviewed that did not have signature of a licensed nurse who disposed the medication and/or a signature of a licensed nurse who witnessed the disposal of the medication. LN 4 confirmed the non-narcotic destruction records reviewed were not signed and/or co-signed by a licensed nurse. LN 4 stated licensed nurses should be signing the destruction sheets and should have 2 signatures. LN 4 stated it was important to have 2 signatures because improper disposition of unused and discontinued prescription medications could increase the risk for drug diversion and/or misuse.During an interview on 12/18/25, at 1:56 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated she expected destruction records of non-narcotic prescription drugs should have 2 licensed nurses' signatures because risk for drug diversion and misuse would be increased.During a record review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Disposal of Medications and Medication-Related Supplies Medication Destruction, revised 11/11, the P&P indicated, .Medication destruction occurs only in the presence of at least two licensed healthcare professionals.The licensed healthcare professionals witnessing the destruction ensure that the following information is entered on the [medication disposition form].Signatures of witnesses.2. During a review of Resident 40's clinical record titled, admission RECORD, indicated Resident 40 was admitted to the facility with diagnosis of, but not limited to diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition where the body either doesn't use insulin effectively [insulin resistance] or can't produce enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar [hyperglycemia]), hypotension (low blood pressure [below 90/60 mmHg], occurs when blood pressure is too low to supply vital organs with enough oxygenated blood, causing symptoms like dizziness, fainting, fatigue, nausea, or blurry vision) atrial fibrillation (a common type of irregular heartbeat [arrhythmia] where the heart's upper chambers quiver instead of beating effectively, leading to a rapid, erratic pulse that can feel like fluttering or pounding in the chest, causing fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath), and metabolic encephalopathy (a brain dysfunction from a chemical imbalance, often due to liver, kidney, or diabetes issues, causing confusion, memory problems, mood changes, or coma).During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25, at 9:55 AM, with Resident 40, in her room, three unidentified pills were found in a medication cup on top of a storage container beside her bed. Resident 40 stated she did not know how long the medications were in her room or what they were for.During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/16/25, at 10:11 AM, with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1 and CNA 2, Resident 40's storage area in her room was observed.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe medication administration practices when the medication error rate was more than 5% (% or percentage-number or ratio that expressed as a fraction of 100) with a resident census of 85. Medication administration observations were conducted over multiple days, at varied times, in random locations throughout the facility. The facility had a total of 2 errors out of 26 opportunities which resulted in a facility wide medication error rate of 7.69% in 1 of 9 residents (Resident 6) observed for medication administration.These failures had the potential to result in unsafe medication use and medication errors affecting the health and well-being of Resident 6.Findings: 1. During a medication administration observation on 12/17/25, at 3:44 p.m., in the facility's Unit 3 hallway outside Resident 6's room, with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, LN 2 administered a total of 3 medications to Resident 6. LN 2 emptied out a capsule and hand crushed 2 pills including a pain medication called Morphine Sulfate 15 mg ER (mg stands for milligram-a unit of measurement, ER stands for Extended Release which means the drug is specially formulated to release the active ingredient slowly and steadily into the body over a prolonged period, typically 8 to 24 hours). LN 2 stated Resident 6 preferred his medications crushed. During a review of Resident 6's medication labeling written on the bubble pack indicated, .MORPHINE SUL [SULFATE] TAB [TABLET] 15MG ER .TAKE ONE TABLET BY MOUTH EVERY 8 HOURS FOR PAIN . The label on the bubble pack further indicated, .Swallow Whole. Do Not Chew Or Crush . During a review of Resident 6's Medication Administration Record (MAR-a record that guides the nurses for medication administration) indicated, .Morphine Sulfate ER Oral Tablet Extended Release 15 MG .Give 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours for pain . There was no documented evidence of a warning to tell the nursing staff not to crush this medication. During an interview on 12/17/25, at 5:04 p.m., with LN 2, LN 2 stated Resident 6's Morphine should not have been crushed. LN 2 further stated Resident 6 preferred his medications to be crushed so she crushed the Morphine. LN 2 explained she could have called the primary physician to change the Morphine tablet to something crushable or in liquid form. LN 2 further explained that crushing an extended-release medication is unsafe because the body would absorb the medication quickly. 2. During a medication administration observation and interview on 12/17/25, at 3:44 p.m., in the facility's Unit 3 hallway outside Resident 6's room, with LN 2, LN 2 took the glucometer (a device used to measure the amount of sugar in the blood) out from the medication cart and she stated Resident 6 needed his fasting blood sugar (FBS) measured. LN 2 then stated Resident 6 needed to receive his medication as ordered. LN 2 read the order from the eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Record) and stated, Insulin Aspart Injection Solution [insulin aspart-is a medication to manage blood sugar for people with diabetes]. Inject 10 units [units-measures the concentration and volume of the insulin] subcutaneously [delivers medicine into the fatty tissue just under the skin] before meals for hyperglycemia [high blood sugar]. Hold for FBS below 120. LN 2 administered the insulin to Resident 6. During a review of Resident 6's eMAR with LN 2, the insulin order indicated, .Insulin Aspart Injection Solution (Insulin Aspart) Inject 10 unit subcutaneously before meals for hyperglycemia Hold for FBS <120 [less than 120] . Upon further inspection of the insulin vial LN 2 used to withdraw the medication from on 12/17/25, at 3:44 p.m. the vial indicated a different resident name and a different dose. LN 2 explained she used a different resident's insulin vial because Resident 6's own insulin vial was not available in the medication cart and it was just ordered from the pharmacy and had not arrived at the time Resident 6 needed to receive his medication. During a subsequent interview on 12/17/25, at 3:44 p.m. with LN 2, LN 2 explained it was wrong to use another resident's insulin vial because the label would read a wrong patient and wrong dose.
