This survey cited 12 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). 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 - Some 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 promote and treat four of four sampled residents (Residents 10, 34, 61 and 102) with respect, privacy and dignity by failing to ensure:a. The Director of Staff and Development (DSD) close the privacy curtain while checking Resident 102's Gastrostomy tube (G-tube, feeding tube that is surgically placed through an opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall) site. b. Resident 34's nephrostomy (a thin catheter that drains urine from kidney into a bag) drain was covered and provided Resident 34 with privacy. c. Certified Nursing Assistant 8 (CNA 8) and Restorative Nursing Assistant 2 (RNA 2) closed the privacy curtain completely while providing care to Resident 61.d. Resident 10 was offered to get up to go to the bathroom between 7:30 am and 11:02 am on 7/9/2025. As a result, Resident 10 was sitting in Resident 10's urine-soaked brief from 8:13 am to 11:02 am. Resident 10 felt sore, mad, and angry that facility staff did not offer Resident 10 to get up to use the restroom.These deficient practices had the potential to cause a psychosocial (mental and emotional well-being) decline and lowered self-esteem and self-worth for Residents 10, 34, 61 and 102. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 102's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 102 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included encounter for attention to gastrostomy (creation of an artificial external opening into the stomach), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning). During a review of Resident 102's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 4/8/2025, the CP indicated Resident 102’s had Activities of Daily Living (ADL) deficit related to dementia. Resident 102’s CP indicated for staff to promote dignity by ensuring privacy to the resident. During a review of Resident 102's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 4/14/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 30 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 102 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for toileting, showering/bathing self, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 102 needed maximum assistance (helper does more than half the effort) on staff for upper body dressing. During a review of Resident 102's Physician Order (PO) dated 4/29/2025, the PO indicated for staff to administer Jevity 1.5 (liquid formula used for G-tube feeding) at 70 cubic centimeters per hour (cc/hr- unit of measurement) for 20 hours to provide 1,400 cc per 2,100 kilo calories (kcal, unit of energy) in 24 hours via enteral feeding; pump on at 1 pm and pump off at 9 am or until desired (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.

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 promote continence (ability to control the bladder and bowels) for one of two sampled residents (Resident 10), according to the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled, Bowel and Bladder Assessment, and Resident Assessment and Associated Processes, by failing to:1. Ensure Resident 10 was placed on a scheduled toileting program (taking resident on a planned schedule to the toilet) after Resident 10 was assessed to not be a candidate for bowel and bladder retraining on 4/18/2025 and 6/18/2025. 2. Ensure Resident 10's bowel and bladder assessments (BBA) dated 6/18/2025 and Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment too) dated 6/18/2025 provided an accurate assessment of Resident 10's continence level based off the facility staff's observations. Licensed nurses assessed Resident 10 as always incontinent of bowel and bladder.As a result of these failures, Resident 10 was not placed on a scheduled toileting program on 4/18/2025 and 6/18/2025. Consequently, the facility staff were not appropriately assessing Resident 10's bowel and bladder function. These failures had the potential to result in Resident 10 becoming permanently incontinent (inability to control the bladder and bowels). Findings:During a review of Resident 10's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 10 on 3/22/2023, and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included abnormalities of gait and other mobility (inability to walk normally due to injuries or underlying conditions), need for assistance with personal care, and urinary tract infection (UTI- infection that happen when bacteria enter the urethra, and infect the urinary tract).During a review of Resident 10's admission Assessment (AA) dated 4/18/2025, timed at 9:57 pm, the AA indicated Resident 10 was incontinent of bowel and bladder.

The BBA indicated Resident 10 was indifferent for bowel and bladder retraining and was not a candidate for bowel and bladder retraining.During a review of Resident 10's BBA dated 6/18/2025, timed at 5:17 pm, the BBA indicated Resident 10 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The BBA indicated Resident 10 showed willingness for bowel and bladder retraining but was an unlikely candidate.During a review of Resident 10's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 10 had intact cognition (ability to think, remember, and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 10 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half effort) with toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 10 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort and lifts or holds trunk or limbs but provides less than half the effort) with walking 50 feet (ft- unit of measurement). The MDS indicated Resident 10 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The MDS indicated Resident 10 had not had a trial of toileting program (scheduled toileting, prompted voiding, or bladder training), and was not currently using a toileting program to manage Resident 10's bowel continence.During an interview on 7/72025 at 3:10 pm with Resident 10, while inside Resident 10's room, Resident 10 pointed towards Resident's 10's bathroom and stated, I want to go.they tell me I have a diaper (brief) on.

RNA 2 stated Resident 10 was not always incontinent (inability to control the bladder and bowels partially or entirely) of bowel and bladder.During an interview on 7/9/2025 at 11:43 am, with CNA 9, CNA 9 stated CNA 9 did not ask Resident 10 if Resident 10 wanted to get up to go to the bathroom. CNA 9 stated Resident 10 was not always incontinent of bowel and bladder function. CNA 9 stated Resident 10 had times with Resident 10 could hold it, and times when Resident 10 could not. CNA 9 stated Resident 10 was able to tell CNA 9 if Resident 10 needed to go to the bathroom.During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/9/2025 at 12:20 pm, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), Resident 10's BBA dated 4/18/2025 and 6/18/2025, and Documentation Survey Report v2 (CNA activities of daily living [ADL- the tasks of everyday life fundamental to caring for oneself]) for 6/2025 were reviewed. LVN 4 stated (in general) when LVN 4 completed a BBA, LVN 4 reviewed CNA documentation of a resident's ADLs. LVN 4 stated LVN 4 will also talk to the residents, if possible, and ask if they have full function of their bladder or bowels. LVN 4 stated if a resident did not have full function of their bladder or bowels that meant the resident was incontinent. LVN 4 stated (in general) if a resident had periods of continence where they can hold their bladder or bowel and use the restroom, and periods where they cannot, then they are not always incontinent. LVN 4 stated Resident 10 had episodes of incontinence so therefore Resident 10 was always incontinent. LVN 4 stated, according to Resident 10's CNA ADLs, Resident 10 was not always incontinent. LVN 4 stated it was possible that if staff were not getting Resident 10 up to go to the restroom when Resident 10 needed to go and ended up going to the restroom in the brief, it could appear Resident 10 was always incontinent. LVN 4 stated the last time Resident 10 was on a toileting schedule (schedule where a resident is offered to use the restroom every two hours and as needed) was 9/2024. LVN 4 stated LVN 4 did not know why Resident 10 was not on a toileting schedule on 4/18/2025 or 6/18/2025. LVN 4 stated toileting schedules helped to prevent skin breakdown, prevent UTI, promoted hygiene, resident rights and dignity, and helped to maintain and/or prevent the loss of bowel and bladder function. LVN 4 stated because Resident 10 was not placed on a toileting schedule on 4/18/2025 or 6/18/2025 it was possible Resident 10 could have a loss of bowel and bladder function.During an interview on 7/9/2025 at 3:06 pm, with Resident 10, Resident 10 stated, I don't like when they (staff) tell me to go to the bathroom in my brief. Resident 10 stated, I like to get up to go to the bathroom. During an interview on 7/10/2025 at 8:39 am, with CNA 10, CNA 10 stated Resident 10 could tell CNA 10 when Resident 10 needed to use the restroom and was not always incontinent.During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/10/2025 at 8:49 am, with MDS Nurse (MDSN) 1, Resident 10's MDS dated [DATE] was reviewed. MDSN 1 stated (in general) MDSN 1 decided a resident's continence level based off the CNA ADL documentation. MDSN 1 stated if staff were telling residents to go the bathroom in their brief it could appear they were incontinent when they may not be always incontinent. MDSN 1 stated that it would affect a resident's MDS assessment because it could cause MDSN 1 to code (document) the wrong information. MDSN 1 stated if Resident 10 can express the need to use the restroom and can hold it until on the toilet, then that meant Resident 10 was not always incontinent.During an interview on 7/10/2025 at 9:18 am, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated (in general) licensed nurses were supposed to perform a brief interview for mental status (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055141 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 32 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055141 B.

The DON stated even if a resident was wearing a brief, staff were supposed to offer to assist residents up to the restroom if they required assistance. The DON stated if staff were saying or documenting a resident was always incontinent when they were not, it affects the BBA and the MDS. The DON stated licensed nurses needed to verify documentation/information themselves (when doing assessments). The DON stated if the BBA and MDS did not accurately reflect a resident's continence level it could cause the resident to not receive the care and services needed, such as a toileting schedule or bowel and bladder retraining. The DON stated if a resident was not always incontinent if they were able to make their (bowel and bladder) needs known, tell staff they needed to use the restroom, and/or hold it until they were able to go. The DON stated taking a resident to the restroom helped to prevent infections.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Bowel and Bladder Assessment, reviewed 1/2025, the P&P indicated a BBA would be completed with the first 14 days of admission and after an elimination pattern had been identified. The P&P indicated the purpose of the BBA was to offer a structured, goal-oriented approach with the intent that the resident attains the highest level of independence in bowel and/or bladder continence. The P&P indicated the program would focus on the resident's ability to improve continence independently. The P&P indicated if a resident was not a candidate for bowel and bladder retraining, they'll be care planned for.scheduled toileting program, a plan to promote continence by habitually taking residents on a planned schedule to the toilet. The P&P indicated this plan may vary from individual patterns noted on residents.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Resident Assessment and Associated Processes, reviewed 4/2025, the P&P indicated it was the policy of the facility that residents would be assessed, and the findings documented in their clinical health record will be comprehensive and accurate.The P&P indicated accurate comprehensive assessment.would include continence.

Implement the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Smoking Policy, which indicated no lighting materials (e.g. matches, lighters), tobacco products, or smoking devices (e.g. tobacco cigarettes, cigars) will be allowed to be kept in the possession of the residents, either on their person or in the facility. 2. Ensure Residents 48, 50, and 64 were not in possession of smoking materials (cigarettes and lighters). 3. Implement Resident 48, 50 and 64's Care Plans (CPs) interventions to keep Resident 48, 50 and 64's smoking materials at the Nurses' Station and ensure for staff to observe Resident 64 while smoking in designated areas (smoking patio).These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 48, 50, and 64 to turn on their lighters, smoke cigarettes unsupervised inside the facility, cause fire that could affect the health, safety, and wellbeing of all 135 residents in the facility, staff, visitors and result in serious harm, injury, hospitalization and or death.On 7/7/2025 at 5:33 pm, while onsite at the facility, the State Survey Agency (SSA) called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the facility's non-compliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident). The IJ was called in the presence of the facility's Administrator (ADM) and the Director of Nursing (DON) due to the facility failing to safely secure/store lighters and cigarettes for Residents 48, 50 and 64 to prevent accident hazards such as fire in accordance with the facility's Smoking Policy.On 7/8/2025 at 2:43 pm, the facility submitted an acceptable IJ Removal Plan (IJRP, a detailed plan with interventions to immediately correct the deficient practices in the IJ). While onsite at the facility, the SSA verified and confirmed the facility's implementation of the IJRP through observation, interview, record review, and determined the IJ situation of fire hazard was no longer present. The SSA removed the IJ situation on 7/8/2025 at 6:45 pm in the presence of the ADM and the DON.The facility provided an acceptable IJRP as follows:A. Immediate Corrective Actions:1. On 7/7/2025, lighters and cigarettes were immediately confiscated (removed) by the ADM and the DON from Residents 48, 50 and 64.

During an interview with CNA4 on 7/07/2025 at 2:20 PM, CNA4 stated that PPE’s must be worn when assisting and coming into close contact with a resident that is on EBP. Per CNA4, if assisting two residents, PPE must be discarded and there must be new PPE placed before assisting a different resident. CNA4 stated if the same PPE is worn while assisting multiple residents, there can be cross contamination (the transfer of harmful bacteria from one person to another) and it defeats the purpose of infection control. CNA4 stated that gowns and gloves used during high-contact activities and PPEs act as a barrier to prevent the bacteria from transferring onto staff's hands and clothing, which can spread to other patients. During a concurrent interview with the IPN on 7/08/2025 at 3 PM, the IPN stated, “EBP is reverse isolation to protect the resident from the staff providing close contact care.” Per the IP, staff need to wear a gown, gloves and mask when providing close contact care to a resident on EBP to prevent cross contamination or place the resident at risk of an infection by close contact of bacteria or germs. The IP stated, “It is not acceptable for a staff to provide close contact care to one particular resident and then proceed to assist another resident to the bathroom without removing the PPEs. The staff must perform proper hand hygiene and place new PPEs on before assisting a new resident.” The IP stated this is harmful to a resident and can potentially cause harm, and infection to the resident.
