This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to:1. Submit and transmit the Minimum Data Set ([MDS] - a resident assessment tool) within the regulatory timeframe to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 3).This deficient practice had the potential to result in billing error and inaccurate data on resident care needs.Findings:During a review of Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 3 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 3's diagnoses included left femur fracture (break in the thigh bone), osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by a gradual loss of cartilage) of both hips, and osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones due to lack of calcium and Vitamin D).During a review of Resident 3's History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/8/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 3 can make needs known but could not make medical decisions.During a review Resident 3's MDS assessment, dated 12/6/2025, the MDS assessment indicated, Resident 3's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making were severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS assessment indicated, Resident 3 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) from staff with toileting hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, and personal hygiene.During a review of the CMS MDS 3.0 Nursing Home (NH) Validation Report, the CMS 3.0 NH Validation Report indicated, Resident 3's MDS assessment was submitted late for more than 14 days after Z0500B (the date that the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator signed the assessment as complete).During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 11:18 a.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), Resident 3's MDS assessment, dated 12/6/2025, was reviewed. The MDSN stated Resident 3's MDS Assessment was completed on 12/20/2025 and submitted late to the CMS on 1/5/2026. The MDSN stated Resident 3's MDS assessment data should have been submitted and transmitted within 7 days after the completion date. The MDSN stated each member of the interdisciplinary team ([IDT] team members from different disciplines who come together to discuss resident care) has their own responsibility to complete each section of the MDS. The MDSN stated the facility Social Service Director (SSD) was taking some time off and that was the reason for the late submission of Resident 3's MDS assessment to the CMS. The MDSN stated it was a federal requirement to complete, submit and transmit any MDS assessment in a timely manner to be compliant with the regulation and for the CMS to know the condition and plan of care of the resident.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Minimum Data Set Resident Assessment, dated 9/1/2024, the P&P indicated, The completed MDS records shall be encoded and transmitted to the State repository in accordance with Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established record specifications and timeframes.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Transmission of MDS, dated 3/8/2024, the P&P indicated, All MDS assessment (admission, annual, significant change, quarterly review, etc.) and discharge and reentry records are completed and electronically encoded into our facility's MDS information system and transmitted to CMS IQIES Assessment 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 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record, the facility failed to ensure an accurate Minimum Data Set ([MDS] - a resident assessment tool) assessment was completed accurately for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 14) by failing to:1. Ensure Resident 14's Plavix (classified as antiplatelet agent drug used to prevent blood clots) was not encoded as anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication.This failure resulted in incorrect data being transmitted to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and had the potential to negatively affect the plan of care and delivery of care and services for Resident 14.Findings:During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 14 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 14's diagnoses included Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and atherosclerotic heart disease (buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls).During a review of Resident 14's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/9/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 14 can make needs known but could not make medical decisions.During a review Resident 14's MDS assessment, dated 11/14/2025, the MDS assessment indicated, Resident 14's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making were severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions). The MDS assessment indicated, Resident 14 required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) from staff with toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 14's Order Summary Report (a document containing active orders), dated 1/8/2026, indicated the physician placed a telephone order on 5/21/2024 for Resident 14 to start on Plavix 75 milligrams ([mg] - metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount) to take one 1 tablet by mouth in the morning for cerebrovascular accident (CVA-stroke, loss of blood flow to a part of the brain) prevention.During a review of Resident 14's Medication Administration Records ([MAR] - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) from 11/1/2025 to 11/30/2025, indicated Resident 14 received Plavix 75mg by mouth once a day.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 11:36 a.m., with the Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN), Resident 14's MDS assessment, dated 11/14/2025, was reviewed. The MDSN stated MDS Section N (Medications) look back period (the specific time frame within which certain resident conditions and events are assessed) was 7 days before the completion date. The MDSN stated Resident 14's MDS assessment was completed inaccurately. The MDSN stated there should be no checked mark on Resident 14's MDS Section N0415 (High-Risk Drug Classes) E (anti-coagulant e.g., warfarin, heparin, or low-molecular weight heparin) since Plavix was not classified as anti-coagulant medication. The MDSN stated coding of medications in the MDS assessment should be based on the drug classification. The MDSN stated accuracy of MDS assessment was important in order to reflect the actual clinical condition of the resident. The MDSN stated inaccuracy of MDS assessment would affect the plan of care of the resident.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Minimum Data Set Resident Assessment, dated 9/1/2024, the P&P did not disclose the medications coding instructions and importance of completing the MDS assessment accurately.During a review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual, version 1.20.1, dated 10/2025, page 481, under Coding Tips and Special Populations, indicated Code medications in item N0415 according to the medication's therapeutic category and/or pharmacological classification, not how it is used.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a person-centered care plan for two of 12 sampled residents (Residents 5 and 14) by failing to:Address Resident 5's diagnosis of schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbance in thought).Address Resident 14's allergy to aspirin (drug used to reduce pain, fever, and prevent blood clot).This deficient practice had the potential to result in a lack of meeting necessary care and addressing medical needs for Resident 5 and Resident 14.Findings: A. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated the facility admitted Resident 5 on 8/2/2017 and was readmitted on [DATE] with the diagnosis of osteomyelitis (inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection), peripheral vascular disease (PVD - a slow progressive narrowing of the blood flow to the arms and legs), metabolic encephalopathy(a problem in the brain caused by a chemical imbalance in the blood), atrial fibrillation (AFib - an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), and depressive disorder (depression – a mental disorder involving a depressed mood or loss of interest in activities for long periods of time). During a review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/8/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 5 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a resident assessment tool) dated 11/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5 had severe problems with thinking, making decisions and memory. The MDS indicated Resident 5 had an active diagnosis of schizophrenia. During a record review on 1/6/2026 at 11:02 a.m. of Resident 5's care plans, there was no care plan for Resident 5's active diagnosis of schizophrenia. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 10:28 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 Resident 5's MDS was reviewed. LVN 1 stated, the MDS indicated Resident 5 had an active diagnosis of schizophrenia. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 10:33 a.m. with LVN 1 of Resident 5's Care Plan, LVN 1 stated there was no Care Plan for schizophrenia. LVN 1 stated there should be a Care Plan for every diagnosis to ensure the resident receives interventions specific to the diagnosis. LVN 1 stated if there was no Care Plan in place for a specific diagnosis, the resident would not progress or would get worse because the resident does not have interventions specific to a diagnosis. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 1:41 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) Resident 5's MDS dated [DATE] and care plans were reviewed. The DON stated the MDS indicated Resident 5 had an active diagnosis of schizophrenia. The DON stated care plans should be implemented for every diagnosis to ensure the resident receives interventions specific to the diagnosis and to monitor the residents' decline or improvement. The DON stated if care plans were not implemented, the resident would not receive the interventions that could worsen the diagnosis.

Care Plans are to be reviewed, on a minimum, once every quarter (every 90 days) and whenever necessary, either as a result of significant change in resident's status and condition, or if discontinued plan of care based on new information derived from the resident's assessment to assure the continued accuracy of the assessment. B. During a review of Resident 14's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, Resident 14 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 14's diagnoses included Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and atherosclerotic heart disease (buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls). During a review of Resident 14's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/9/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 14 can make needs known but could not make medical decisions. During a review Resident 14's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] - a resident assessment tool), dated 11/14/2025, the MDS assessment indicated, Resident 14's cognitive (ability to think and reason) skills for daily decision making were severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions).

During a review of Resident 14's Order Summary Report (a document containing active orders), dated 1/7/2026, the Order Summary Report indicated, Resident 14 was allergic to aspirin. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/9/2026 at 9:49 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 14's clinical records were reviewed. LVN 2 stated there was no care plan to address Resident 14's allergy to aspirin. LVN 2 stated Resident 14's allergy to aspirin was already identified on the Order Summary Report and that was the reason why facility did not develop a comprehensive care plan. LVN 2 stated it was important to develop a comprehensive care plan for each resident in order to provide the needs of the resident. LVN 2 stated it was important to have a care plan for a resident with known medication allergy for resident safety and to provide interventions promptly in case resident develop an allergic reaction (set of symptoms that happen after you touch, inhale, or administered something you are allergic to). During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 10/16/2017, the P&P indicated It is the policy of the facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights that includes measurable objectives and time frames to meet a resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment. The P&P indicated care plans must show evidence of facility's effort to address or manage risk factors.

The MDS indicated Resident 7 was independent with eating and oral hygiene, needed maximum assistance from staff with toileting, showering, lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, and needed partial assistance (helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort to complete the activity) with upper body dressing and personal hygiene.During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 8:07 a.m. during medication administration with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3 in Resident 7's room, LVN 3 did not instruct Resident 7 to rinse her mouth after administration of inhaler Arnuity Ellipta.During a review of pharmacy's label for Arnuity Ellipta 200 mcg (micrograms - a unit of measurement) inhaler starting 1/2/2026 indicated, inhale one puff by mouth one time a day for COPD rinse mouth with water after use.During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 9:19 a.m. with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated she did not instruct Resident 7 to rinse her mouth after taking the inhaler. LVN 3 stated the importance of rinsing mouth after the inhaler was to prevent the growth of bacteria or fungus in the mouth. LVN 3 stated if the resident did not rinse her mouth after taking the inhaler, there would be a potential that the resident could develop infection in the mouth leading to a greater infection.During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 2:51 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the importance of following pharmacy instructions to rinse mouth after administration of inhaler was to prevent mouth infection. The DON stated if the resident did not rinse her mouth after taking the inhaler, there would be a risk for mouth infection that would lead to other infections of the body.
