This survey cited 15 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview and record review, the facility failed to provide reasonable accommodations for Resident 36's needs and preferences with a wheelchair that was comfortable for his size, was not damaged, ripped, dusty and old. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for Resident 36 to be placed at risk for negative impact of his psychosocial wellbeing, result in delayed provision of services and/or risk for injury. Findings: During a review of the admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 36 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included but not limited to polyneuropathy (damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves in roughly the same areas on both sides of the body, featuring weakness, numbness, and burning pain), type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy (a chronic condition where the body has trouble using sugar [glucose] from food properly and as a complication of the diabetes, there is nerve damage affecting multiple nerves throughout the body), end stage renal disease (irreversible kidney failure), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells), dysphagia, oropharyngeal phase (a swallowing difficulty that occurs in the mouth and throat when food or liquid moves from the mouth to the throat). During a review of Resident 36's Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool), dated 11/20/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 36 does not have impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident 36 needed partial to moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) from the staff for the activities of daily living such as eating and oral hygiene and substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for dressing, toilet and personal hygiene. During an observation and interview with Resident 36 on 2/4/2025 at 9:32 AM, Resident 36 was resting in bed and stated, I can't walk. I get physical therapy (PT) because we need to work on my legs. Apparently, I had a deep vein thrombosis (DVT-is a medical condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs) but my doctor cleared me. I keep reminding the staff that for activities, they offer me to stretch my legs but they don't have a wheelchair my size to take me outside like I requested multiple times so I can get some sun and fresh air. It's been over a month that I've had to stay in bed. I would prefer to go outside. To be honest, it makes me feel sad and I'm starting to get depressed. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 2/04/25 at 9:57 AM, RN stated that when the equipment in the facility is damaged or needs maintenance, the staff usually call Maintenance (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 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Supervisor to fix it. RN stated the equipment in the facility needed to be in good condition at all times for the safety of all the residents. RN also stated it would be unacceptable for a resident to use damaged equipment since it could place the resident at risk of harm. During a concurrent interview with Resident 36 on 2/4/2025 at 11:16 AM, Resident 36 stated he had been asking staff to take him outside, but they told him the facility does not have a wheelchair big enough for him, so he stays in bed all the time. Per Resident 36, the Occupational Therapy Staff (OT) did attempt to transfer him to a wheelchair, but the wheelchair was too snug (something is too tight or fits too closely). Resident 36 stated he felt upset because it has been over a month when the facility staff told him they were working on getting a larger wheelchair so he can go outside, and the facility still has not received it. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) on 2/5/2025 at 9:37 AM, CNA5 stated she had cared for Resident 36 often and had not seen a wheelchair large enough for Resident 36 inside or outside the room. Per CNA5, Resident 36 would remain in bed and was not transferred to a wheelchair to go to the patio. During an interview with Social Service Director (SSD) on 2/5/2025 at 9:45 AM, SSD stated that Resident 36 did mention about needing a wheelchair his size but that she would have to confirm with the doctors' orders and make sure the wheelchair would be part of the Durable Medical Equipment (DMEs) to process through Home Health (medical services provided in a patient's home rather than in a hospital or other healthcare facility) upon Resident 36's discharge. During a follow up observation and interview with SSD on 2/5/2025 at 9:58 AM, SSD stated Resident 36 did have a wheelchair inside his room for his own personal use. Upon further inspection of Resident 36's room, SSD confirmed there was no such wheelchair inside the room. SSD then stated the wheelchair was stored away inside the storage room. Upon further inspection there was no large size wheelchair inside storage room. SSD then proceeded to state that the wheelchair was outside in the patio area. Upon further inspection of the patio area, SSD showed a wheelchair that was ripped, old, and dusty and stated that was the wheelchair that was provided for Resident 36's use. SSD did at that time confirm the wheelchair should be in better condition without any rips or dirt on it in order for Resident 36 to use. During an interview and record review with OT on 2/5/2025 at 10:15 AM, OT stated, In terms of his level on how much he can assist, he is max assist times 2 to sit at edge of bed. He used a Hoyer Lyft (a mechanical device that helps caregivers move people with limited mobility) at home. We have attempted to transfer him from bed to chair but he said the wheelchair was too snug for him. We were increasing sitting tolerance but the wheelchair we found was too snug we wanted to look for another wheelchair wider for his comfort but was not sure if they did. During a concurrent interview with the DON on 2/7/2025 at 4:08 PM, the DON stated Resident 36 should have a proper size wheelchair to accommodate his needs. The DON also stated, It is not acceptable for a resident to use a wheelchair that is damaged such as being ripped, old or dirty. If a resident was to use a damaged wheelchair it could cause potential danger like an accident and if it was dirty, it could harbor bacteria. During a review of the Housekeeper/Janitor Job Description, the description indicated Principal Responsibilities: Perform tasks to ensure a safe, comfortable and sanitary environment for all residents, staff and visitors according to established policies and procedures.

Resident 126 stated, The temperature inside the room was terrible this morning. It was like a sauna (a special heated room in which people sit or lie down in order to get hot and sweat). It was really hot. Then I heard the thermostat (a device that automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point) outside click off and it cooled off a bit. During a concurrent interview with Resident 126 on 2/4/25 at 9:14 AM, Resident 126 stated, You think it's hot now, you should have seen how hot it was earlier this morning. I had sweat all over myself and my door was closed. I didn't get any fresh air. Usually, I am not able to sleep well, and with how hot the room was, I could not go to sleep at all last night, it was too hot.
