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

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that maintained or enhanced a resident's dignity and respect for one of one sampled resident (Resident 1) by failing to ensure facility staff did not stand above Resident 1's eye level while assisting the resident to eat. This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 1's self-esteem and self-worth and violates Resident 1's right to be treated with dignity. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted the resident on 6/30/2016 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), polyosteoarthritis (arthritis- inflammation and stiffness of the joints, affects five or more joints at the same time), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (a group of conditions that occur when chronic high blood pressure damages the heart and causes it to fail), and palliative care (a specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from pain and other symptoms of a serious illness). During a record review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/15/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Date Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 8/17/2024, indicated Resident 1 had severely impaired cognitive skills (the mental abilities that the brain uses to think, process information, pay attention, and remember things) for daily decision making. Resident 1 required supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity or intermittently) with eating and was dependent with oral/toileting/personal hygiene, shower/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. During a dining observation on 10/23/2024 at 7:44 AM at the [NAME] dining room, Resident 1 was sitting on a wheelchair while being assisted with eating by Certified Nurse Assistant 4 (CNA 4). CNA 4 was observed standing on the Resident 1's right side and was not within eye level of the resident. CNA 4 was instructed by the Director of Staff Development (DSD) to get a chair and sit down while (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.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few helping Resident 1 with her breakfast. CNA 4 stated, I am fine standing. DSD repeated her instructions to CNA 4 but CNA 4 still refused to sit down. During an interview on 10/25/24 at 8:55 AM with DSD, DSD stated all staff assisting residents with feeding during mealtimes should be sitting down at eye level of the residents. CNA 4 should have been seated while assisting Resident 1 with her breakfast, CNA 4 did not follow the facility's policy. DSD stated that residents could feel disrespected and affect their dignity. During a review of the Policy and Procedure (P &P), titled, Feeding the Resident, revised 1/2020, the P&P indicated regardless of resident ability or eating habits, promote dignity and a pleasant environment during mealtime. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Quality of Life - Dignity, revised 11/2023, the P&P indicated each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life, dignity, respect, and individuality. Residents shall be treated with dignity and respect at all times. Treated with dignity means the resident will be assisted in maintaining and enhancing his or her self-esteem and self-worth.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a copy of the advance directive (a written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to ensure those wishes are carried out should the person be unable to communicate them) was readily available in the residents' medical chart for two of 10 sampled residents (Residents 6 and 108) in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure titled Advance Directives. This failure had the potential to result in nursing staff not knowing if Residents 6 and 108 had specific resident wishes to follow in case of an emergency. Findings: During a review of Resident 6's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of cerebral infarction (a serious condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked, causing brain tissue to die), epilepsy (a sudden, abnormal burst of electrical activity in the brain that causes temporary changes in behavior, movement, or awareness), personal history of malignant neoplasm of breast (abnormal growth of tissue), muscle weakness and difficulty walking. During a review of Resident 6's History and Physical Examination (H&P), dated 2/29/2024, the H&P indicated the resident does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment care screening tool), dated 9/06/2024, the MDS indicated the resident was severely impaired with cognitive skills (the mental processes that allow people to think, process information, and remember thing) for daily decision making. Resident 6 needed partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with bed mobility, transfers (how resident moves to and from bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position), toilet use, and substantial assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 6's Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST- a medical order that allows patients with serious illnesses to specify their preferences for end-of-life care), dated 4/03/2024, the POLST indicated Advance Directive dated 5/14, (year not added) available and reviewed, however, there was no Advance Directive copy inside Resident 6's physical paper chart or in the electronic chart. During an interview with Social Service Director (SSD) on 10/25/2024 at 8:03 AM, SSD stated that on admission if a resident does not have an advance directive, the SSD would discuss it with the resident and their family. SSD stated she would give them a form to go over and if they have any specific wishes or decisions they can decide then. SSD stated some residents already have an advance directive and will bring a copy. SSD added the residents should have a copy of the advance directive in the chart. During a concurrent interview and record review with SSD on 10/25/2024 at 8:12 AM, SSD confirmed there was no advance directive in the Resident 6's medical chart. SSD stated the resident's medical record should have a copy of the advance directive for nursing reference.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few important to have in the event the resident cannot make decisions in case of an emergency. SSD added the advance directive can also inform nursing staff if the resident has a responsible party who can make medical decisions for them. 2. During a review of Resident 108's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses cellulitis of left lower limb (a superficial infection of the skin), obesity (abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health), personal history of urinary tract infection ( is an infection in any part of the urinary system [the body's filtration system that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood to create urine]), unspecified urine incontinence (the inability to control the flow of urine), personal history of malignant (spreads to different sites) neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) of the skin muscle weakness and difficulty walking. During a review of Resident 108's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 108 was independent with cognitive skills for daily decision making. Resident 108 was dependent (helper does all of the effort to complete an activity) on assistant from staff for personal, toileting hygiene, and showers. Resident 108 needed substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for toilet transfers, sit to sit to lying, sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer and roll left and right. During a review of Resident 108's POLST, dated 3/23/2023, the POLST indicated Advance Directive was discussed with patient, however, there was no Advance Directive copy inside Resident 108's physical paper chart or in the electronic chart. During an interview and record review of Resident 108's medical record with License Vocational Nurse (LVN1) on 10/22/2024 at 12:20 PM, LVN1 confirmed there was no advance directive inside Resident 108's medical record or on Resident 108's electronic medical record in the computer. LVN1 stated a copy of the Advance Directive should have been in Resident 108's medical record so the staff caring for the resident are aware of the residents preferences. LVN 1 stated, It can cause harm to a resident if there was an emergency, the staff can go against the residents wishes. During a concurrent interview and record review with SSD on 10/25/2024 at 9:35 AM, SSD confirmed there was no advance directive copy inside Resident 108's chart. SSD stated, Her husband had stated he would bring it in about a week ago but he has not and I did not follow up. During an interview on 10/25/2024 at 9:12 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the Advanced Directive should be kept in the resident's medical chart so that in case of any emergency, staff can refer to it and know what the resident's wishes are. The DON stated emergencies can happen anytime. The DON added if the resident had already completed an advance directive, the resident should bring a copy to the facility. Otherwise, the facility should follow up with the resident or the family to bring a copy. During a concurrent interview with the DON on 10/25/2024 at 9:16 AM, the DON stated, The advance directive is one of the most important documents upon admission. If we have the POLST, that is just a quick reference in case of an emergency, but the advanced directive is equally as important.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. 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 one of two sampled resident (Resident 19) was free from physical restraints (any manual method, physical or mechanical device, equipment, or material that is attached or adjacent to the resident's body; cannot be removed easily by the resident; and restricts the resident's freedom of movement or normal access to his/her body) when the facility failed to conduct an assessment for the use of geriatric chair (Geri chair, a large, padded, and mobile reclining chair that prevents a resident from rising). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in limiting Resident 19's mobility and cause injury. This also had the potential for Resident 19 not to be treated with respect and dignity with the use of restraints. Findings: During a review of Resident 19's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 19 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 19's diagnoses included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), osteoporosis (progressive bone disease that weakens bones and makes them susceptible to break in the bones), and history of falling. During a review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 8/04/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 19's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 19 was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated the chair prevents rising was not used. During a review of Resident 19's Order Summary Report, dated 10/22/2024, indicated an order of may be up in Geri-chair when out of bed as tolerated for comfort and positioning, ordered on 1/15/2024. During an observation on 10/22/2024 at 12:27 PM, in the dining room, Resident 19 was observed sitting in a Geri chair. During an interview with Certified Nurse Assistant 6 (CNA 6) on 10/24/2024 at 2:18 PM, CNA 6 stated Resident 19 was using a regular wheelchair before. CNA 6 stated that Resident 19 has episodes of leaning forward, sliding, pushing, kicking, and biting staff when she was in a wheelchair. CNA 6 stated that Resident 19 has limited movement now wherein she can no longer lean forward and reach the staff while in a Geri-chair. During a concurrent record review of Resident 19's medical records and interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 10/25/2024 at 11:04 AM, ADON stated Resident 19 did not and should have an assessment prior to use of Geri chair. ADON stated Resident 19 have an order to use Geri chair on 1/15/2024. ADON was not able to provide documentation of the restraint assessment for Resident 19 from 1/15/2024 to 10/25/2024. ADON stated that she had seen Resident 19 in a Geri chair.

F 0604 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm she had seen Resident 19 in Geri Chair. The DON stated that prior to use of Gerichair, the interdisciplinary team (IDT, involving two or more disciplines or fields of study) should conduct an assessment for its use because it can be a form of restraint. The DON stated that Gerichair is a device that limits movement, and that means it is considered as a restraint. DON stated that the following are included in restraint assessment: Residents Affected - Few o Reason for use of physical restraint o History/Alternatives attempted. o Decision to restrain. During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Physical Restraints, revised in August 2023, the P&P indicated the facility shall use a physical restraint only after an assessment by the interdisciplinary team has been completed and the less restrictive measures attempted were unsuccessful.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. 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 provide incontinent care and keep the resident free of foul odors to one of ?? sampled residents (Resident 108) who is dependent (helper does all the effort to complete an activity) on assistant from staff for personal, toileting hygiene, and showers. Residents Affected - Few These deficient practices resulted in the residents feeling frustrated and embarrassed, due to lack of or delay in receiving sufficient services to maintain personal hygiene and incontinent care and had the potential to lead to skin breakdown, social isolation and to negatively impact Resident 108's self-esteem. Findings: During a review of Resident 108's admission record, the admission record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses cellulitis of left lower limb (a superficial infection of the skin), obesity (abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health), personal history of urinary tract infection (is an infection in any part of the urinary system [the body's filtration system that removes waste and excess fluid from the blood to create urine]), unspecified urine incontinence (the inability to control the flow of urine), personal history of malignant (spreads to different sites) neoplasm (abnormal growth of tissue) of the skin, muscle weakness and difficulty walking. During a review of Resident 108'S Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment care screening tool), dated 10/16/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 108 was dependent from staff for personal, toileting hygiene, and showers. Resident 108 needed substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for toilet transfers, sit to sit to lying, sit to stand, chair/bed to chair transfer and roll left and right. During an observation of Resident 108 in the presence of License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 on 10/22/2024 at 9:03 AM, Resident 108 was lying in bed, arms crossed on her chest, and crying softly. Resident 108 stated nobody is been here all morning. I am all wet. Last night was the same thing. I went to the bathroom in my diaper. I used the call light at 2 AM or 3 AM and when the nurse (unable to recall name staff) came in she said she had so many people to take care of and she said that since I only had a small amount of poop I could wait. She left the room and came back two (2) hours later. I waited until she came back to be changed. During an observation and interview with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 2 on 10/22/2024 at 9:22 AM, observed CNA2 coming out of Resident 108's room. CNA2 stated Resident 108 told her she was soiled. CNA2 stated she was finishing another resident's shower and would be back to change Resident 108's diaper. CNA2 stated she did not know how long Resident 108 was soiled for but that she was busy at the moment. CNA2 did not ask another staff for assistance in changing Resident 108's diaper and left Resident 108 soiled. During an interview with LVN1 on 10/22/2024 at 9:25 AM, LVN1 stated, If the resident is soiled and uses the call light for assistance, then someone should check in right away. The nurse should not have left her (Resident 108) soiled for a long period of time. The CNA (CNA2) should have cleaned her (Resident 108) immediately. If CNA2 was busy, then she (CNA2) should have asked another staff for help.

F 0677 Resident 108 and the resident can have skin breakdown and feel very uncomfortable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview with CNA3 on 10/24/2024 at 9:56 AM, CNA3 stated if a resident is soiled and told me they have been waiting for over an hour to be change, I would apologize, and I would change them immediately. If I was busy at that moment, I would look for another staff to help me so the resident would be cleaned right away. If a resident has been left soiled for long period of time, they can begin to have a bed sores (injuries to the skin and the tissue below the skin that are due to pressure on the skin for a long time), skin redness, irritation, and itchiness to their skin. This can cause them pain and eventually if the skin breaks it can cause an infection. Emotionally the patient might feel irritated and bad, embarrassed and it would feel like neglect (to give little attention to or fail to care for) to them, especially if the patient is dependent on staff for assistance and their medical condition is new to them. Emotional harm is caused by making them feel neglected and not tend to them right away. Residents Affected - Few During an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 10/25/2024 at 9:20 AM, DON stated, a resident should not be left soiled for long period of time. It can cause harm to the resident. Harm can be rashes, break in the skin, wounds. It can also cause psychosocial (mental, emotional, social, and spiritual parts of a person's life) and emotional harm. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, AM Care PM Care, Hours of Sleep (HS) Care, revised 4/2023, indicated the following objectives: ¢ To refresh each resident after their night of sleep. ¢ To assist the resident to the bathroom and/or to change the brief during HS (Hour of Sleep) Care ¢ Assist Resident to the bathroom for toileting or change check (rounds/ check if the resident needs to be changed) and change brief: provide basic hygiene with wipes or washcloths and towel. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Quality of Life-Dignity, revised 7/2023, indicated, each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life, dignity, respect, and individuality. The policy also indicated, treated with dignity means the resident will be assisted in maintaining and enhancing his or her self-esteem and self-worth and staff shall promote dignity and assist residents as needed by promptly responding to the resident's request for toileting assistance.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility did not ensure three of six sampled resident's (Resident 37, 6, and 10) environment was free from accidental hazards (a source of danger that has the potential to cause harm) when hot water temperatures inside the resident's bathrooms were measured to be above 120 degrees Fahrenheit (F- unit of measurement for temperature). This deficient practice placed Residents 37, 6 and 10 at risk for scalding (very hot) and burns (injury related to exposure to heat or flame) related to hot water temperatures. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 37's admission record, the admission record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of aphasia (language disorder that makes it difficult to communicate with others) following cerebral infarction (a serious condition that occurs when an area of the brain tissue dies due to a lack of blood flow), difficulty in walking, hemiplegia (total or partial paralysis of one side of the body that results from disease of or injury to the motor centers of the brain) and hemiparesis (one-sided muscle weakness) following unspecified cerebrovascular disease (a condition that can damage brain tissue) affecting right dominant side (the side of the brain or body that is more active or used more than the other side), low back pain and anxiety disorder (condition in which a person has excessive worry and feelings of fear). During a review of Resident 37's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/29/2023, H&P indicated the resident does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 37'S Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment care screening tool), dated 9/05/2024, the MDS indicated the resident needed partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with bed mobility, transfers (how resident moves to and from bed, chair, wheelchair, standing position), toilet use, personal and oral hygiene. During a review of Resident 37's Care Plan initiated on 11/27/2023 and revised on 10/23/2024 indicated, Resident 37 was at risk for communication problem. Interventions indicated, will ensure to provide a safe environment. 2. During a review of Resident 6's admission record, the admission record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of cerebral infarction, epilepsy (a sudden, abnormal burst of electrical activity in the brain that causes temporary changes in behavior, movement, or awareness), personal history of malignant neoplasm of breast (abnormal growth of tissue), muscle weakness and difficulty walking. During a review of Resident 6's (H&P), dated 2/29/2024, H&P indicated the resident does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.

During a review of Resident 10's admission record, the admission record indicated the resident was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of anorexia (an eating disorder that causes people to weigh less than is considered healthy for their age and height), muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), constipation (a condition in which a person has uncomfortable or infrequent bowel movements), other Alzheimer's disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks), and hearing loss. During a review of Resident 10'S MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the resident was dependent (helper does all of the effort) for oral, personal and toileting hygiene, showers, and transfers. During an observation in Resident 37's bathroom (shared bathroom with Resident 6) on 10/22/2024 at 8:08 AM, Resident 37 was inside bathroom using the sink washing her hands sitting on her wheelchair. Observed Resident 37 continue to try to wash hands but would quickly remove hands from running water. Resident 37 exited bathroom without fully washing her hands. During an interview with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA2) on 10/22/2024 at 8:30 AM, CNA2 stated Residents 37, Resident 6 and Resident 10 would sometimes use their wheelchairs to wheel themselves to the bathroom to wash their hands without asking for assistance. During a concurrent observation and interview with Engineer Assistant on 10/22/2024 at 8:51 AM, Engineer Assistant using a thermometer (an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature) tested water coming out from the faucet/ sink in Resident 37 and Resident 6's bathroom. Observed Engineer Assistant test water for 3 seconds and stated, the water temperature should be below 120 Fahrenheit, right now, the thermometer is reading at 128.6 Fahrenheit. Water is hot for the residents; it would be scalding hot to touch and they can suffer a burn. During a concurrent observation and interview with Engineer Assistant on 10/22/2024 at 8:55 AM, Engineer Assistant used a thermometer and tested the water coming out from the faucet/ sink in Resident 10's bathroom and stated, the water temperature in here is 127.7 Fahrenheit. This too can place the resident at risk for a burn. During a concurrent interview with Engineer Assistant on 10/25/2024 at 3:50 PM, Engineer Assistant stated, We do not check the resident rooms water temperature, we only check the boiler temperature in the building. What happens is, that sometimes someone will complain about the water temperature, so we just adjust the boiler. I think that is how it (water from Reisdent 37, 6 and 10's bathroom sink) got so hot. Engineer Assistant also stated, they do not measure weekly and document the water temperatures in designated areas to ensure the water temperatures are within the acceptable range for resident's use. A review of the facilities Policies & Procedures (P&P) titled, Monitoring Water Temperatures-Protocol revised 4/2023 indicated, the facility recognizes potential risk for scalding and burns related to water temperatures. The Chief Engineer monitors water temperatures to minimize risk for injuries for residents, visitors, and employees. The P&P also indicated, the Chief Engineer directs weekly measurements and documentation of water temperatures in designated areas using thermometers in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. The findings will be included in the preventive maintenance program logs. The P&P indicated, scalding, and burning injuries present potential risk for residents and patients.

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 one of two sampled residents (Resident 51) who was on continuous oxygen (colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas) therapy received oxygen as ordered in accordance with the facility policy. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to cause complications associated with oxygen therapy and could result in the resident not receiving proper treatment. Findings: During a review of Resident 51's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 51 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 51's diagnoses included shortness of breath, dependence on supplemental oxygen, and anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells). During a review of Resident 51's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 9/19/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 51's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 51 required setup or clean up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up, resident completes activity) with eating. The MDS also indicated Resident 51 was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 51 was on continuous oxygen therapy while in the facility. During a review of Resident 51's Order Summary Report as of 10/22/2024, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order for continuous oxygen at 2 liters (L, unit of measurement) per minute, ordered on 9/5/2023. During an observation in the dining room on 10/22/2024 at 10:54 AM, Resident 51's oxygen tank was observed empty.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 35 to experience medication adverse effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a medication may have) and the potential to result in Resident 35'ss health and well-being to be negatively impacted. Findings: During a review of Resident 35's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 35 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 35's diagnoses included hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body) and hemiparesis (a medical condition that causes weakness or an inability to move on one side of the body) affecting left side, and gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for residents with swallowing problems). During a review of Resident 35's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 8/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 35's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 35 was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 35's Physician's Order, dated 10/24/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the following: 1. Amlodipine (a medication used to treat high blood pressure) tablet 10 milligram (mg, unit of measurement), give 1 tablet via gastrostomy tube (G-tube, is a small, flexible tube that's surgically inserted into the stomach through the abdomen to provide nutrition, fluids, and medicine) one time a day for hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure). Ordered on 3/30/2023. 2. Aspirin (a medication that reduces pain, fever, inflammation, and blood clotting) chewable 81 mg, give 1 tablet via G-tube one time a day for angina (chest pain or discomfort). Ordered on 2/6/2020. 3.

During an interview with LVN 1 on 10/24/2024 at 3:25 PM, LVN 1 stated Resident 35's blood pressure this morning was 184/76 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg, unit of measurement) and heart rate was 59. LVN 1 stated she did not notify Resident 35's Doctor because there was no order to call for high blood pressure and heart rate of lower than 60. LVN 1 stated she did not and should have rechecked Resident 35's blood pressure and heart rate prior to administering the following medications: Amlodipine tablet 10 mg, 1 tablet. Carvedilol 25 mg, 1 tablet. Losartan 100 mg, 1 tablet. LVN 1 stated the normal blood pressure is 120/80, and she added that in general, a SBP higher than 180 needs a doctor notification. During a concurrent record review of Resident 35's medical records and interview with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 10/24/2024 at 4:50 PM, the ADON stated an abnormal blood pressure reading should be rechecked and should be reported to the doctor. ADON stated Resident 35's order for amlodipine, carvedilol and losartan has a parameter order to hold for heart rate less than 60. ADON stated for Resident 35's blood pressure of 184/76 and heart rate of 59, LVN 1 should have rechecked the blood pressure and heart rate, and then informed the Doctor prior to administering amlodipine, carvedilol and losartan as these medications might lower Resident 35's heart rate. During a review of the Facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Administering medications, revised on 11/14/2019, the P&P indicated medications shall be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure food were handled, prepared, and stored in a manner that prevents foodborne illness (food poisoning) for 56 of 56 residents receiving food from the facility's kitchen, by failing to ensure: 1. Food items stored in the kitchen refrigerators and freezer (thirty-eight [38] food items), walk-in freezer (eleven [11] food items), dry storage area 1 (where breads and vegetables are stored) (three [3] food items) were labeled with open date and/or use by date (last date recommended for use of the product while at peak quality), and/or expiration date and sealed after opening. 2. Two (2) dented canned products were discarded and one (1) cracked and leaking peanut butter jar was discarded from the dry storage area 2 (where canned products, sugars and jars are stored). In addition, the facility failed to ensure the container with blue lid in the dry storage area 2 was free of dirt, dust, and dead fly. 3. Expired food products were removed and discarded. 4. Temperature logs for the kitchen refrigerators and dry room was monitored and documented daily every morning and afternoon shift. These failures had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to food borne illness for 56 of 56 medically compromised residents who received food from the kitchen.
