This survey cited 7 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 113) was assessed, and that the physician was notified when Resident 113 experienced a significant change of condition (COC- a decline or improvement in the resident's status that will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff) of low blood pressure. This failure resulted in Resident 113's low blood pressure going unnoticed by licensed staff, placing the resident at risk for adverse outcomes.Findings:During a review of Resident 113's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 113 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of but not limited to hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure), heart failure (heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 113's Care Plan, titled Hypertension, revised 11/19/2025, the Care Plan indicated Resident 113 was at risk for fluctuating blood pressure. The Care plan indicated to monitor, document, and report side effects such as orthostatic hypotension.( a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up from sitting or lying down, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting). During a review of Resident 113's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 11/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 113 had the ability to express ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 113 usually understands verbal content. The MDS indicated Resident 113 was dependent on nursing staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showering dressing, and transferring. During a concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), Resident 113's blood pressure reading dated 11/26/2025, 11/27/2025 and 11/28/2025 were reviewed. Resident 113's blood pressure readings indicated on: 11/26/2025 at 4:20 p.m. the blood pressure was 90 / 62 millimeters per mercury (mmHg-unit of measurement) 11/26/2025 at 4:43 p.m., blood pressure was 90 / 62 mmHg11/27/2025 1:34 a.m. blood pressure was 94 / 62 mmHg11/27/2025 3:48 a.m. blood pressure was 100 / 66 mmHg11/27/2025 8:22 a.m. blood pressure was 108 / 64 mmHg11/27/2025 8:45 a.m. blood pressure was 108 / 64 mmHg11/27/2025 1:04 p.m. blood pressure was 104 / 66 mmHg11/27/2025 4:27 p.m. blood pressure was 99 / 72 mmHg11/27/2025 6:18 p.m. blood pressure was 100 / 70 mmHg11/28/2025 2:48 a.m. blood pressure was 100 / 70 mmHgLVN 2 stated licensed nursing staff should immediately notify Resident 113's physician if systolic blood pressure was below 110, or diastolic blood pressure was below 90. LVN 2 stated the licensed nurses should document an SBAR (situation, background, assessment, recommendation-a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition for low blood pressure. LVN 2 stated there was no documentation to indicate Resident 113's physician was notified and no documentation to indicate Resident 113 had a change of condition. LVN 2 stated licensed staff should notify physician to know the plan of care for Resident 113. LVN 2 stated low blood pressure can cause sleepiness, compromise breathing, or cause the residents to faint.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete interview and record review conducted on 12/19/2025 at 9:14 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS 2), RNS 2 stated that there was no documentation of an SBAR or a change of condition for Resident 113's low blood pressure, and the physician was not notified. RNS 2 stated low blood pressure constitutes a change of condition and without intervention, the resident could experience symptoms such as dizziness and lethargy, and the blood pressure could continue to decrease. During an interview on 12/19/2025 at 11:44 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that on 11/26/2025 the resident's blood pressure should have been reassessed, and the physician should have been notified. The DON stated the SBAR tool was used to assess and monitor any change of condition and to communicate with physicians for medication adjustments or discontinuations as needed. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P), titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated 2/2021, the P&P indicated, Our facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and the resident representative of changes in the resident's medical/mental condition and/or status (e.g., changes in level of care, billing/payments, resident rights, etc.).Prior to notifying the physician or healthcare provider, the nurse will make detailed observations and gather relevant and pertinent information for the provider, including (for example) information prompted by the Interact SBAR Communication Form.

During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 11/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognition (ability to think, learn, and remember) was severely impaired and Resident 18 required maximum (helper does more than half the effort) assistance with toileting and showering. During a review of Resident 18's Podiatrist (foot doctor) Note dated 10/23/2025, the Podiatrist Note indicated Resident 18 had onychomycosis (a fungal infection of the nail unit) and onychodystrophy (deformity of the toenails). During an observation on 12/16/2025 at 12:56 p.m., in Resident 18's room, Resident 18 was noted to have yellow, crusty, and thick toenails of all 10 toes. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 11:40 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4, LVN 4 stated she was familiar with Resident 18 but was not aware of the resident's toenail fungus. LVN 4 stated there was no care plan addressing the condition and stated that a care plan should be in place for Resident 18's toenail fungus to ensure follow-up on interventions and monitor their effectiveness. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/19/2025 at 8:06 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 2, RNS 2 reviewed Resident 18's Podiatrist Notes and confirmed the resident had onychomycosis. RNS 2 stated there should be a care plan in place for this condition. RNS 2 stated a care plan was important so staff can monitor and assess Resident 18 for improvement or worsening of the toenail fungus. During an interview on 12/19/2025 at 8:55 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated care plans address problems with goals, interventions, and monitoring for improvement. The DON stated there should be a care plan in place for Resident 18's toenail fungus so staff could assess and monitor for improvement or worsening of the Resident 18's toenail fungus. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered dated 12/2026, the P&P indicated, A comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychosocial and function needs is developed and implemented for each resident. Identifying problem areas and their causes and developing interventions that are targeted and meaningful to the resident, are the endpoint of an interdisciplinary process.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor range of motion (ROM-the full movement potential of a joint) for four of nine sampled residents (Residents 58, 15, 38, and 52) who had or were at risk for limited ROM and mobility. The facility failed to:1.Ensure Resident 58 received two quarterly Joint Mobility Screens (JMS-a brief assessment of ROM in both arms and legs) in 5/2025 and 8/2025.2.Ensure Resident 15 received a quarterly JMS in 7/ 2025.3.Ensure Resident 38 received a quarterly JMS in 7/2025.4.Ensure Resident 52 received a quarterly JMS in 5/2025.These failures had the potential for Residents 58, 15, 38, and 52 to develop further ROM limitations in the arms and legs due to the lack of monitoring.1. During a review of Resident 58's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 58 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to hemiplegia (weakness to one side of the body) and hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (blockage of the flow of blood brain, causing or resulting in brain tissue death) affecting right dominant side, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) with other specified complication. During a review of Resident 58's History and Physical Examination (H&P) dated 11/29/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 58 could make needs known but could not make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 58's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool) dated 11/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 58 had severe cognitive impairments (mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, includes thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, problem-solving). The MDS indicated Resident 58 required partial assistance with eating, oral hygiene, upper body dressing, sit to lying and required substantial assistance with bathing, lower body dressing, sit to stand, and chair to bed transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 58 required supervision assistance with walking 50 feet. The MDS indicated Resident 58 had functional limitations in ROM on both sides of the upper extremity (UE, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand) and did not have any functional impairments in ROM in the lower extremities ([NAME], hip, knee, ankle, foot). During a review of Resident 58's Care Plan (CP) revised on 11/20/2025, the CP indicated Resident 58 needed a Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that help residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) ambulation (walk) program and was at risk for decline in ambulation, at risk for falls, and demonstrated impaired safety judgement for functional mobility. The CP goal indicated Resident 58 will maintain/prevent decline in ambulation status through next review. The CP intervention included to monitor resident's response and tolerance to treatment and RNA to do ambulating using front-wheeled walker (type of mobility aid with wide base of support and two wheels in the front) three times a week as tolerated. During a review of Resident 58's JMS dated 11/4/2025, the JMS indicated Resident 58 had full range of motion in both UE and full range of motion in both [NAME]. There were no other JMS noted in 2025 in Resident 58's medical records. During an observation and interview on 12/18/2025 at 12:05 p.m., Resident 58 was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway and using both legs to self-propel and move around the hallway. Resident 58 was able to move the left arm, and the right arm was relaxed to the right side. Resident 58 stated he could not move the right arm, and he used the left arm to eat. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2025 at 1:46 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), Resident 58's JMS were reviewed. DOR stated there was a JMS completed on 11/4/2025 and stated there were no other JMS completed for Resident 58 in 2025.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some have had two quarterly JMS completed in May 2025 and August 2025, but the JMS were not completed. DOR stated if therapy staff miss a quarterly JMS, there was a potential for staff to miss any ROM declines and provide therapy interventions as needed to restore any ROM declines. During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 3:24 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated it was important for the facility to monitor resident's ROM so that staff could catch any declines in ROM and mobility and provide any therapy intervention to maintain the resident's mobility and minimize contractures (loss of motion of a joint). During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) revised May 2025, titled Rehab Screening and Joint Mobility Assessments, the P&P indicated joint mobility assessments should be completed quarterly, annually, and as needed to identify residents with functional changes and/or changes in ROM. 2. During a review of Resident 15's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 15 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to stiffness of right hip, stiffness of right knee, stiffness of left hip, stiffness of left knee, contracture (loss of motion of a joint) left elbow, contracture right knee, contracture left knee, contracture right shoulder, contracture left shoulder, contracture right elbow, contracture right hand, contracture left hand, and unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 15's History and Physical Examination (H&P) dated 6/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 15 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 15's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool) dated 11/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 15 was severely impaired in cognitive skills (mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and comprehension, includes thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, problem-solving) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 15 required dependent assistance from staff for oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, rolling, and bed to chair transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 15 had functional limitations in ROM for both sides of the upper extremities (BUE, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand) and both sides of the lower extremities (BLE, hip, knee, ankle/foot). During a review of Resident 15's Care Plan (CP) initiated on 11/25/2025 for RNA Therapy, the CP indicated Resident 15 needed a therapeutic exercise/ROM Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that help residents to maintain their function and joint mobility) program and was at risk for decline in ROM, risk for decreased muscle strength, decreased functional use of extremity, and risk for deformity and contracture (loss of motion in a joint) formation. The CP goal indicated Resident 15 will maintain/prevent decline in ROM through next review. The CP interventions included to monitor resident's response and tolerance to treatment, RNA to do passive range of motion (PROM, movement at a given joint with full assistance from another person) to BLE daily five times per week as tolerated, and RNA to do PROM to BUE daily five times per week or as tolerated. During a review of Resident 15's quarterly JMS dated 10/7/2025, the JMS indicated severe loss in ROM in both hand/fingers, both wrists, both elbows, and both shoulders. The JMS indicated severe loss in ROM in both hips, both knees, and both ankles. The JMS indicated a recommendation for skilled physical therapy and occupational therapy evaluation.
