This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 6) received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice (guidelines and expectations that define competent and ethical conduct within specific profession) by failing to complete medication reconciliation (the process of verifying and updating a patient's medication list during the transition from hospital to home or another care setting) of Resident 6's Discharge Medication List from General Acute Care Hospital (GACH 2) to administer the resident's Terazosin (a medication used in men to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH-also known as an enlarged prostate], which include difficulty urinating, painful urination, and urinary frequency and urgency) once a day to start on 1/28/2025 at 9 PM. This failure could lead to worsening of the Resident 6's BPH and hospitalization.Findings: During a review of Resident 6's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 6 on 1/28/2025, with diagnoses including but not limited to urinary retention (the inability to completely or partially empty the bladder) and BPH. During a review of Resident 6's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 1/31/2025, it indicated Resident 6 had intact cognitive skills (ability to think, understand and reason) for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 6 required set up or clean up assistance (Helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity. Helper assists only prior to or following the activity) with eating, oral and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 6 also required substantial or maximal assistance (Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with shower/bathing self and upper body dressing and dependent (Helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off footwear. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/17/2025 at 5:14 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the External Facility Discharge Medication List from General Acute Care Hospital (GACH 2) dated 1/26/2025, Resident 6's Medication Administration Record (MAR) from the facility dated January 2025, and Resident 6's Order Summary Report from the facility dated1/28/2025 to 4/30/2025 were reviewed. The External Facility Discharge Medication List from GACH 2 dated 1/26/2025 indicated terazosin 5 mg (milligram-a unit of mass or weight equal to one thousandth of a gram) orally once a day, next dose on 1/28/2025 at 9 PM. Resident 6's MAR and Order Summary Report for January 2025 to April 2025, did not indicate there was an order for terazosin nor it was given to Resident 6 from 1/28/2025 to 4/24/2025 The DON stated the terazosin order that was in Resident 6's External Facility Discharge Medication List from GACH 2 was not reconciled in the physician's order when the resident was admitted at the facility on 1/28/2025. The DON stated that since it was not reconciled, it would not be in the order summary and MAR and Resident 6 did not receive the terazosin during the resident's stay in the facility from 1/28/2025 to 4/24/2025. During an interview on 7/17/20265 at 5:25 PM with the DON, the DON stated, Resident 6's missing medication that was not Residents Affected - Few (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 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete reconciled from the discharge medication list was not acceptable as it will affect the residents' health and safety and residents are put at risk for experiencing complications for not having received the medications. Resident 6's BPH symptoms could end up getting worse and affect Resident 6's overall health. The DON stated RN 1 could not explain why the terazosin order was not reconciled in Resident 6's Order Summary. The DON stated there were 87 doses of Terazosin that was not given to Resident 6, from 1/28/2025 to 4/24/2025 because the resident's discharge medication list for GACH 2 was not reconciled correctly. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/18/2025 at 10 AM with Resident 6's attending physician (MD), the External Facility Discharge Medication List from GACH 2 was reviewed. The discharge medication list from GACH 2 reflected order for terazosin to give once a day. The MD validated that terazosin was not reconciled and was not given to Resident 6 during the resident's stay in the facility from 1/28/2025 to 4/24/2025. The MD stated the terazosin was for Resident 6's BPH and resident did not receive this medication. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Reconciliation of Medication on Admission, revised 1/5/2025, the P&P indicated the purpose of the P&P is to ensure medication safety by accurately accounting for the resident's medications, routes and dosages upon admission or readmission to the facility. The P&P also indicated, medication reconciliation reduces medication errors and enhances resident safety by ensuring that the medications the resident needs and has been taking continue to be administered without interruption, in the correct dosages and routes, during the admission/transfer process. In addition, the P&P indicated, medication reconciliation helps to ensure that medications, routes and dosages have been accurately communicated to the Attending Physician and care team. The P&P indicated steps includes: Verify and clarify medication list with the physician Transcribe verified orders to point click care (PCC-a cloud-based healthcare technology platform that focuses on connecting care providers, services, and financial operations within the senior care and long-term care sectors) under physician orders Event ID: Facility ID: 055153 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 5 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 055153 B.

Create a comprehensive resident - centered care plan (a care plan developed and implemented to meet his or her preferences and goals, and addressed the resident's medical, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs) for Resident 1's long term care plan with focus on Resident 1's risk for fall/injury which includes intervention to supervise the resident every hour from 4/1/2025 to 7/16/2025. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 found on the floor near the Nurse's Station and the resident lying on her right side next to her on 7/16/2025 at 4:45 AM. Resident 1 was noted to have a small skin tear on the right temple (the area on the side of the head, just above the cheekbone and below the hairline) with minimal bleeding.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included unspecified dementia (a brain disorder that results in memory loss, poor judgment, and confusion), muscle weakness, and history of falling.

CNA 1 stated CNA 1 did not know if Resident 1 had a history of falls in the facility. During an interview, on 7/18/2025, at 12:04 PM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated he was assigned to Resident 1 the morning of 7/16/2025 when Resident 1 had a fall.

The DON stated there was no intervention in Resident 1's fall care plan for her scooting behavior. The DON stated Resident 1's care plan for risk for fall/injury was not and should have been resident-centered given Resident 1's history of falls and scooting behavior.
