This survey cited 10 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, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light (an alerting device for nurses or other nursing personnel to assist a patient when in need) was within reach for one of one sampled resident (Resident 55). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in resident not receiving assistance in a timely manner when needed. Findings: During a review of Resident 55's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 55 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Diabetes Mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control) and tinea unguium (a fungal infection of the nails) During a review of Resident 55's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 3/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 55 had clear speech, usually understood others and usually made self-understood. Resident 55 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort, helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) for personal hygiene, eating and roll left and right. During an observation on 3/18/2025 at 11:08 am in Resident 55's room, Resident 55 was lying in bed. Resident 55's call light was wrapped outside of the left bedrail. Resident 55 stated Resident 55 was not able to find the call light and not able to reach it. During a concurrent interview, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated, Resident 55's call light was facing outside of the bedrail and Resident 55 needed help to reach it. LVN 2 stated the call light should be placed within easy reach of the resident to use to call for help when needed. LVN 2 stated Resident 55 could get hurt trying to get out of bed by himself if the call light was not within reach. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Call Lights: Accessibility and Timely Response, dated 12/9/2024, the P&P indicated Staff will ensure the call light is within reach of the resident and secured, as needed. 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.

Resident 34 did not receive information regarding AD. b. Resident 30's AD Acknowledgement Form was filled out inaccurately. c. Resident 31's AD Acknowledgement Form was filled out inaccurately.

During an interview on 3/19/2025 at 12:41 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the physician's order for Resident 7 should be followed by all staff. The DON stated, Resident 7's heels should be offloaded to promote healing of the left heel PI and to prevent developing new PI and/or worsen the current PI on the resident's left heel. The DON stated it was important to provide quality of care for the resident's quality of life. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Pressure Injury Prevention and Management dated 1/31/2025, the P&P indicated interventions for prevention and to promote healing, evidence-based interventions for prevention will be implemented for all residents who are assessed at risk or who have a pressure injury present.

The DON stated Resident 34's medical record indicated no documentation regarding restricting fluid intake for Resident 34. The DON stated, There was no system to monitor how much fluid the resident was receiving a day. The DON stated following residents' (in general) physician's orders, especially about fluid restrictions for residents on hemodialysis, was important to prevent fluid overload. During an interview on 3/21/2025 at 9:51 am with Resident 34, Resident 34 stated, They (facility) don't tell me how much fluid I can drink here. I usually get and drink what I want.
