F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility did not provide proper supervision to one of two Residents (Resident 1) during transfer from bed to wheelchair using Hoyer Lift [(a mechanical assistive device used by caregivers to safely transfer patients with limited mobility from one place to another (i.e. bed to wheelchair)]. This failure placed Resident 1 at risk for fall and injury. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, printed on 4/14/25, the admission record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility in 1999 and was readmitted in 2022. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 2/21/25, revealed Resident 1 had multiple diagnoses that included, muscle weakness and personal history of traumatic brain injury. MDS indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) score of 00, meaning Resident 1 had severely impaired cognition. MDS also indicated, Resident 1 was dependent on the assistance of two or more helpers with transfer from bed to chair. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/14/25, at 11:49 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, in Resident 1's room, CNA 1 transferred Resident 1 from bed to wheelchair using Hoyer Lift by himself. When asked why he was operating the Hoyer lift without proper supervision, CNA 1 stated, I made a mistake. I'm not supposed to do it alone. It's supposed to be two person. CNA 1 also stated, there was risk to drop Resident 1 from Hoyer lift without support from another staff. During an interview on 4/14/25, at 2:42 p.m., with the Director Of Nursing (DON), DON stated, Hoyer lift with sling like the ones used for Resident 1, required two person to assist with the transfer. DON further added, there was increased risk for fall when CNA 1 transferred Resident 1 by himself using the Hoyer lift. During a review of Resident 1's care plan (a document that outlines the specific needs, goals, and services required for a resident's well-being and care), dated 9/4/24, indicated Resident 1 had self-care performance deficit that included impaired balance. The care plan also indicated, the resident was dependent on staff with transfer. During a concurrent interview and review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Lifting Machine, Using a Mechanical, dated 7/2017, on 4/14/25, at 3:20 p.m., with the DON, the DON confirmed, at least two nursing assistants are needed to safely move a resident with mechanical lift which included transferring a resident from bed to chair; FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055292 If continuation sheet Page 11 of 34 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 055292 B.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. Based on observation, interview and record review, for one of one sampled resident (Resident 59) reviewed for psychotropic (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) medication use, the facility failed to ensure Resident 59 received antipsychotic medication (treats mental disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) with appropriate indication. This failure had the potential to result in unnecessary adverse reactions from the medication. Findings: During a review of Resident 59's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 59 was admitted to the facility in February 2025 with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (a brain disorder resulting from imbalances in the body's chemical or electrolyte levels, leading to brain dysfunction), Alzheimer's dementia (a general term for the decline in memory and other cognitive abilities that interfere with daily life), major depressive disorder (a mental disorder characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, and other symptoms that significantly impair daily functioning), and dementia without behavioral disturbance and anxiety (a person diagnosed with dementia doesn't exhibit the typical behavioral symptoms associated with the condition, such as aggression, agitation, or anxiety). The admission Record listed Resident Representative (RR) as Resident 59's responsible party. During a review of Resident 59's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care), dated 2/10/25, the MDS indicated Resident 59 was rarely/never understood and rarely/never understands others, had inattention (difficulty focusing attention, being easily distractible or having difficulty keeping track of what was being said). The MDS also indicated Resident 59 did not have potential indicators of psychosis as there were no hallucinations (sensory perceptions that a person experiences as real, even though they are not actually present) or delusions (false, fixed beliefs that someone holds despite evidence to the contrary) and no behavioral symptoms were noted. During a review of Resident 59's Medication Review Report (MRR), the MRR indicated a physician's order to give olanzapine (antipsychotic medication used to treat mental disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder) oral tablet 2.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth at bedtime for major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate. The MRR also indicated behavior monitoring for 1. hallucinations, 2. delusions, and 3. Others, for olanzapine use. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/14/25, at 12:24 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 4, Resident 59 was in bed, calm and quiet. RN 4 stated Resident 59 had refused to get out of bed and sometimes became combative when transferred to the wheelchair. During a telephone interview on 4/15/25, at 11:37 a.m., with RR, RR stated, Resident 59 used to be active and very energetic, but now only stares at the ceiling and does not talk much. RR also stated, Resident 59 used to fear the water so giving a shower would make Resident 59 yell and scream. RR stated that behavior was more under control, and it was now easier for staff to care for Resident 59.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/15/25, at 1:11 p.m., with RN 2, Resident 57's medication orders for the observed medication pass were reviewed. Resident 57 was noted as having an order for multi-vitamin tablet with minerals and to be administered daily in the morning. Review of the ingredients on the multi vitamin bottle that RN 2 had used earlier for Resident 57 revealed the multi-vitamin tablets contained no minerals in them. When RN 2 was asked if there was another type of multi vitamin tablets available in his medication cart (med cart), RN 2 looked through the med cart and found a bottle of multi-vitamin with minerals deep in the top drawer. RN 2 stated he did not see this bottle of multi-vitamin with minerals, and he also acknowledged the packaging of both bottles (the multi-vitamin and the multi-vitamin with minerals) looked almost the same. 2. During a concurrent observation and record review on 4/15/25, at 10:05 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, Resident 270 was noted as having an order for chlorhexidine gluconate solution (a prescription mouthwash for oral care).

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. 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 infection prevention and control procedures were followed when: Residents Affected - Few -Housekeeping Aide (HA) did not disinfect Resident 169's room, a contact precaution (a set of infection control practices used to prevent the spread of germs through direct or indirect contact. These precautions are implemented when a patient has a disease that can be transmitted by touching the patient, contaminated surfaces, or objects in their environment) room, with appropriate disinfectant. -Registered Nurse (RN) 1 did not disinfect medical device with appropriate disinfectant in between resident use. This failure had the potential to result in spreading Clostridium difficile (C. diff, a bacteria that causes diarrhea and colitis (inflammation of the colon). It's a serious infection that can be life-threatening, especially in vulnerable populations like older adults in healthcare settings) infection to other residents. Findings: During a review of Resident 169's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 169 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included enterocolitis (an inflammation of both the small and large intestines. It can be caused by various factors, including bacterial infections) due to C. diff infection. During an observation on 4/15/25, at 12:34 p.m., Resident 169's room had Contact Plus Precaution sign tucked inside a fabric door organizer. During an interview on 4/16/25, at 10:01 a.m., with Housekeeping Aide (HA), HA stated, when entering Resident 169's room, she made sure to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, a variety of equipment designed to protect the wearer from injury or illness, including clothing, helmets, gloves, face shields). HA stated she used the pink Ecolab Smartpower Sink and Surface sanitizer to clean the tables, doorknobs, cabinets, night stand, bed and bed frame, and left the sanitizer on for five minutes. HA stated she used the purple Oasis 499 Disinfectant Cleaner to clean the bathroom and the floor. HA stated these two chemicals came in pre-mixed. During an interview on 4/16/25, at 10:12 a.m., with Infection Preventionist (IP), IP stated, for contact precaution rooms, housekeeping staff are supposed to use the orange top disinfectant wipes (Sani-Cloth Germicidal Disposable Wipe/Bleach), not the purple cleaner spray as it is only a cleaner and not a disinfectant. During a follow-up interview on 4/16/25, at 10:30 a.m., with HA, HA stated she only used the spray solution, either the pink or purple, and wiped with cleaning towel. HA stated she did not use the Sani-Cloth disinfecting wipes and did not have any of those in the cart. During an interview on 4/16/25, at 11:43 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, RN 2 stated they used the wrist BP cuff on all the residents and disinfected it with Clorox wipes and the Sani-Cloth disinfecting wipes, but most of the time used Clorox with the white top because Clorox was pretty good (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055292 If continuation sheet Page 28 of 34 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 055292 B.

Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/17/25, at 11:20 a.m., with IP, IP stated any disinfecting wipes that has bleach could be used to disinfect a contact precaution room. An observation of a tub of Sani-Cloth disinfecting wipes with orange top indicated it is effective against Clostridium difficile spores. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/17/25, at 2:34 p.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated not being sure if the Clorox wipes with the white top contained bleach. Clorox wipes was found in the housekeeping cart that indicated Bleach-free. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Clostridium Difficile, last revised October 2018, the P&P indicated, the primary reservoir for C.difficile are surfaces, spores can persist on resident-care items and surfaces for several months and are resistant to some common cleaning and disinfection methods. Environmental cleaning in rooms of residents with C. difficile is done with a disinfecting agent recommended for C.difficile (e.g. household bleach and water solution or an EPA registered germicidal agent effective against C.difficile spores). Steps toward prevention and early intervention include disinfection of items with potential fecal soiling (e.g. commode chairs, bed rails, etc.) with a disinfecting agent recommended for C. diff. During a review of the manufacturer's information of the Sani-Cloth Bleach Germicidal Disposable Wipe with EPA registration number 9480-8, the manufacturer's information indicated the wipes are effective against 52 microorganisms and is ideal for disinfecting high-risk areas contaminated with Clostridioides difficile spores.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, for one randomly selected resident (Resident 369), the facility failed to establish and implement infection prevention and control program that included antibiotic stewardship program when: Residents Affected - Few -Resident 369 was administered antibiotics without adequate indication. -Resident 369's possible symptoms of antibiotic side effects were not monitored. This failure had the potential to result in the development of antibiotic-resistant infections (occur when bacteria develop the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making them difficult or impossible to treat, can be serious and even life-threatening, often requiring longer hospital stays, more expensive treatments, and potentially toxic medications). Findings: During a review of Resident 369's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 369 was admitted to the facility in March 2024 with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure) and personal history of urinary tract infection. During a review of Resident 369's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated 3/31/25, the MDS indicated a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, is a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status in regard to attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information) score of 13. A BIMS score of thirteen to fifteen is an indication of intact cognitive status. During a review of Resident 369's clinical record, Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 4/17/25, indicated an order dated 3/25/25 for Cephalexin (treats infection) oral capsule 250 mg 1 capsule by mouth once daily for personal history of urinary tract infections. The clinical record did not indicate a urinalysis or urine culture was done. During an interview on 4/16/25, at 12:10 p.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated Resident 369 had diarrhea in the morning and had to be taken to the bathroom because Resident 369 kept going. CNA 4 stated Resident 369 also had diarrhea/loose stools too on 4/15/25. CNA 4 also stated Resident 369 was feeling bad for the night shift CNAs for cleaning up after a big loose bowel movement. During a joint interview on 4/16/25, at 12:19 p.m., with RN 2 and CNA 4, RN 2 stated he did not know about Resident 369 having episodes of diarrhea. CNA 4 reminded RN 2 that he had been told Resident 369 had been having diarrhea for two days. RN 2 stated, having loose stools was less serious than watery stools and it was normal for residents to use the bathroom constantly. During an interview on 4/16/25, at 12:20 p.m., with Resident 369, Resident 369 stated having diarrhea for a few days, and a big portion of the bed being soiled made her feel like she might have gone so many times.

Bowel and Bladder Elimination dated 4/16/25 indicated Resident 369 had diarrhea. During an interview on 4/17/25, at 11:20 a.m., with Infection Preventionist (IP), IP stated being unhappy with antibiotics that were used as prophylaxis. IP stated, for urinary tract infections, the following needed to be present before starting antibiotics; symptoms such as fever, burning sensation and signs of infection such as increased heart rate AND a culture and sensitivity to determine what organism and what antibiotic needed to be used, otherwise, if a resident was prescribed an antibiotic that was not going to work, it could mess up their immune system. IP also stated if a resident had more than three episodes of diarrhea, a stool specimen should be sent for testing to prevent spread of a possible infection. IP stated, for Resident 36, a discussion with nursing was done about having to re-do urinalysis and culture, but there was no update as to when this was going to be done. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Antibiotic Stewardship, last revised December 2016, the P&P indicated the facility will provide training and education with emphasis on the relationship between antibiotic use and gastrointestinal disorders, opportunistic infections like C. difficile and evolution of drug-resistant pathogens. During a follow-up interview on 4/17/25, at 3:01 p.m., with IP, IP stated the facility was using McGeer Criteria (a set of clinical and laboratory findings used to define and track infections in long-term care facilities.
