**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled residents
(Resident 45) was treated with respect and dignity when the trash bag was placed on Resident 45's bed
during a treatment. This failure had the potential affect resident's sense of dignity and
self-worth.Findings:During an observation on 1/22/2026 at 9:33 a.m., the Treatment Nurse (TXN) was
observed placing a clear bag on Resident 45's bed. The TXN was observed disposing gauze, gloves, and a
medicine cup into the clear plastic bag during Resident 45's wound treatment.During a review of Resident
45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities, benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH - an enlargement of the prostate gland causing difficult urination and incomplete bladder
emptying), and a urinary device-supra pubic catheter (a hollow tube inserted through the lower abdomen
skin into the bladder to drain or collect urine).During a review of Resident 45's History and Physical (H&P),
dated 10/3/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 45 did not have the capacity to understand and make
decisions.During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated
10/21/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 45 had severe cognitive (ability to learn, reason, remember,
understand, and make decisions) impairment, and was dependent (helper does all the effort) when eating,
oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, bathing, and dressing. During an interview on 1/22/2026 at 9:33 a.m. with
the TXN, the TXN stated they placed the trash bag on the bed because there is no trash can in the room.
The TXN stated they cannot place it on the bedside table because that is where the resident eats and
cannot place it on the floor or the bathroom.During an interview on 1/22/2026 at 6:21 p.m. with the Director
of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents have a right to be treated with respect and dignity. The DON
stated trash bags should not be placed on residents' beds during treatment, it can be put on the bedside
table. The DON stated it a trash bag was placed on a resident's bed, it could potentially make the resident
feel not respected or cared for in a respectful way.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P), titled Quality of Life - Dignity, dated August 2009, the P&P indicated each resident shall be cared for
in a manner that promotes and enhances quality of life, dignity, respect and individuality. The P&P indicated
treated with dignity means the resident will be assisted in maintaining and enhancing his or her self-esteem
and self-worth.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an Advance Directive (written statement of a
person's wishes regarding medical treatment made to ensure those wishes are carried out should the
person be unable to communicate them to a doctor) was formulated for one (1) out of the four (4) sampled
residents (Resident 26).This deficient practice had the potential to cause conflict with Resident 26's wishes
regarding health care and end of life wishes.Findings:During a review of Resident 26's admission record,
the admission record indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
unspecified dementia (group of thinking and social symptoms that interfere with daily functioning),
hypertension (high blood pressure), and hypertrophic lichen planus (chronic inflammatory condition).During
a review of Resident 26's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/3/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 26 does
not have the capacity to make healthcare decisions.During a review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set
([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 12/12/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 26's cognitive skills
(the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and
the senses) were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 26 is dependent (helper does all the
effort) of activities of daily living (ADLs: routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a
person performs daily to care for themselves).During an interview on 1/21/2026 at 3:28p.m. with the Social
Services Designee 1 (SSD 1), the SSD 1 stated an AD helps residents who could not make decisions and
identify what kind of decisions or wishes they would like to have for their medical care. The SSD 1 stated an
AD is offered upon admission and indicated Resident 26 did not have an AD. The SSD 1 stated an AD was
important to ensure the family is aware of what kind of decision, or who the resident would want to make
their health care decisions.During an interview on 1/22/2026 at 3:43p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated an AD is a document that reflects the resident's decisions regarding the care they
wish to receive or decline. The DON stated it was important to ask Resident 26 if he would like to formulate
an advanced directive and provide education and information to the residents.During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advanced Directives, revised December 2016, the P&P
indicated upon admission, the resident will be provided with written information concerning the right to
refuse or accept medical or surgical treatment and to formulate an advance directive if he or she chooses
to do so. If the resident is incapacitated and unable to receive information about his or her right to formulate
an advance directive, the information may be provided to the resident's legal representative. Information
about whether or not the resident has executed an advance directive shall be displayed prominently in the
medical record.

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 notify the physician when one of three sampled residents
(Resident 45's) wound progressed from a pressure injury (PI- localized, pressure-related damage to the
skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) stage 1 (intact skin with a localized area of
redness and/or changes in sensation, temperature, or firmness) to a PI Stage 2 (partial-thickness loss of
skin, presenting as a shallow open sore or wound). This failure had the potential to delay care in treating
and preventing Resident 45's PI from getting worse.Findings: During a review of Resident 45's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH an enlargement of the prostate gland causing difficult urination and incomplete bladder emptying), and a
urinary device-supra pubic catheter (a hollow tube inserted through the lower abdomen skin into the

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure two of four residents' (Resident 16 and 31) oral
medications were not crushed and administered together during medication pass.This deficient practice
placed Resident 16 and Resident 31 at risk for dangerous chemical interactions and had the potential for
altered drug effects, and incorrect dosage. Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 16 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (group of thinking and social symptoms
that interferes with daily functioning), Alzheimer's disease (a type of disease that affects memory, thinking,
and behavior), and atherosclerotic heart disease (caused by fat buildup in arterial walls that blocks blood
flow).
During a review of Resident 16's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/19/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
16 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 16's MDS ([MDS], A resident assessment tool), dated 10/31/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 16's cognitive skills (functions your brain uses to think, process information, and
remember things) was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent (helper does all
the effort) on performing all aspects of activities of daily living ([ADL] basic activities such as eating,
dressing, toileting).
During a review of Resident 16's Physician Order Report dated 12/22/2025 to 1/22/2026, the report
indicated the following orders:
a) 2/20/2023: Crush all crushable medications.
b) 4/20/2023: Aspirin (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat inflammation and prevent
heart attacks) [Over the Counter (OTC)] tablet, chewable, 81 milligrams (mg: unit of mass), oral once a day.
c) 1/2/2025: Multivitamin (combinations of vitamins) tablet, oral once a day.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/21/2026 at 8:30a.m. with the Licensed Vocational
Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 was observed crushing the multivitamin and aspirin together and mixing the two
crushed medications with apple sauce. LVN 2 gave Resident 16 apple sauce mixed with the medications.
LVN 2 stated it is acceptable to crush the medications (multivitamins and aspirin) together. LVN 2 stated
crushing the medications together in one bag and administering the medications together would not affect
the residents.
During an interview on 1/22/2026 at 3:39p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
Medication Administration Policy, did indicate they could not crush two pills together in one bag and
administer them together. The DON stated it is acceptable to crush two medications in one bag together
and administer the medications, The DON stated there could be a potential outcome based on the chemical
component of the medication.

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 provide services to improve or maintain range
of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint) for three (3) of six sampled residents (Residents 1, 2,
and 8) with ROM concerns by failing to: 1.Objectively measure and identify the location of Resident 1's
ROM limitations of both legs during the Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration,
maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) Evaluation, dated 12/23/2025. 2.Objectively
measure Resident 2's ROM limitations of both shoulders and both hands during the Occupational Therapy
(OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's capability to participate in
everyday life activities) Evaluation, dated 10/3/2025. 3.Provide ROM exercises to Resident 8's both arms
and both legs during a Restorative Nursing Aide (RNA, nursing aide program that helps residents maintain
any progress made after therapy intervention to maintain their function) session in accordance with
physician's orders. 4.Ensure RNA assisted Resident 2 with walking exercises five (5) times a week in
accordance with physician's orders. These failures had the potential for Residents 1, 2, and 8 to experience
a further decline in ROM resulting in contracture (condition of shortening and hardening of muscles,
tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints [where two bones meet])
development and have a decline in physical functioning, mobility (ability to move), and activities of daily
living (ADL, basic activities such as eating, dressing, toileting).Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 1's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 1 on 9/1/2025 and
re-admitted Resident 1 on 12/22/2025 with diagnoses including cellulitis (skin infection) of both legs,
muscle weakness, and sepsis (illness caused by the body's response to an infection). During a review of
Resident 1's PT Evaluation, dated 12/23/2025, the PT Evaluation indicated Resident 1's right leg and left
leg ROM were impaired. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment
tool), dated 1/11/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or
process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required set up or
clean up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) for eating and oral hygiene, partial/moderate (helper does
less than half the effort) assistance with upper body dressing, substantial/maximal assistance (helper does
more than half the effort) for lower body dressing and rolling to both sides, and was dependent (helper does
all the effort) for transfers and bathing. During an observation and interview with Resident 1 in Resident 1's
room on 1/20/2026 at 11:26 am, Resident 1 was sitting in a wheelchair. Resident 1 minimally bent both
hips, was unable to straighten both knees, and minimally bent and straightened both ankles. Resident 1
stated she was weak and had limited ROM in both legs. During a concurrent record review and interview
with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm, the DOR who was a PT stated PTs and
Occupational Therapists (OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's
capability to participate in everyday life activities) used goniometers (instrument used for the precise
measurement of angles) to measure joint mobility to objectively (unbiased, based on facts) determine a
resident's baseline ROM and detect changes in joint ROM. The DOR reviewed Resident 1's PT Evaluation
dated 12/23/2025, and confirmed Resident 1's ROM of both legs were impaired. The DOR confirmed PT
did not use a goniometer to measure the joints of both leg limitations and did not indicate the location of
ROM impairment in both legs. The DOR stated she was unsure of the location and severity of the ROM
impairments in both legs because the PT Evaluation did not indicate which joints were limited and did not
have objective measurements to indicate the severity of ROM impairments. The DOR

stated Resident 1's baseline ROM of both legs were not determined because the ROM limitations were not
measured with a goniometer. The DOR stated the Rehab Screens (brief assessment of a resident's ROM of
both arms and both legs and current level of function) performed upon admission, quarterly, and as needed
by Rehab did not provide precise measurements of each joint since the therapist only indicated a range of
impairment (minimal, moderate, severe) which could vary significantly and did not detect subtle changes in
the joints. The DOR stated lack of objective ROM measurements and identification of joint limitations had
the potential to negatively impact the staff's ability to detect changes such as improvements or declines in
Resident 1's ROM. The DOR stated it was important to provide objective measurements and identify which
joints were limited in the PT evaluation to ensure subtle changes of ROM could be detected which would in
turn guided the treatments and services provided. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON)
on 1/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated the facility monitored for changes in ROM by staff report and
Rehab Screens performed upon admission, quarterly, and as needed by Rehab. The DON stated it was
important to accurately monitor changes in joint ROM to ensure the residents received the appropriate
services to prevent ROM decline and contractures. 2. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record,
the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 2 on 8/27/2025 and re-admitted
Resident 2 on 10/2/2025 with diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis (painful swelling and stiffness of the
joints caused by the body attacking its own healthy tissues and joints by mistake), gastrointestinal
hemorrhage (bleeding that occurs in the digestive track), and muscle weakness. During a review of
Resident 2's OT Evaluation, dated 10/3/2025, the OT Evaluation indicated the ROM of Resident 2's both
shoulders and both hands were impaired. During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS
indicated Resident 2 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required set up or clean up
assistance for eating and oral hygiene, partial/moderate assistance for rolling to both sides and walking,
substantial/maximal assistance for upper body dressing, personal hygiene, and transfers and was
dependent for toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 2 had
functional limitations in range of motion (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning,
including activities of daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in both arms and both legs. During
an observation and interview with Resident 2 in Resident 2's room on 1/20/2026 at 3:27 pm, Resident 2
was lying in bed. The knuckles of both of Resident 2's hands appeared swollen with all fingers bent
downwards and sideways toward the small finger (outer side) of each hand. Resident 2 was unable to
straighten the index fingers (pointer fingers), middle fingers, ring fingers, and small fingers of both hands.
Resident 2 moved the thumbs of both hands up and down and grabbed a cup by hooking her left thumb
into the cup handle and took a sip of water. During a concurrent record review and interview with the
Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm, the DOR stated PTs and OTs used goniometers
to measure joint mobility to objectively determine a resident's baseline ROM and detect changes in joint
ROM. The DOR reviewed Resident 2's OT Evaluation, 10/3/2025, and confirmed Resident 2's ROM of both
shoulders and both hands were impaired. The DOR confirmed OT did not use a goniometer to measure the
joints of both shoulder and both hand ROM limitations. The DOR stated she was unsure of the severity of
the ROM impairments in both shoulders and both hands because the OT Evaluation did not have objective
measurements to indicate the severity of ROM impairments. The DOR stated Resident 2's baseline ROM of
both shoulders and both hands were not determined because the ROM limitations were not measured with

significantly and did not detect subtle changes in the joints. The DOR stated lack of objective ROM
measurements and identification of joint limitations had the potential to negatively impact the staff's ability
to detect changes such as improvements or declines in Resident 2's ROM. The DOR stated it was
important to provide objective measurements in the OT evaluation to ensure subtle changes of ROM could
be detected which would in turn guided the treatments and services provided. During a concurrent record
review and interview with Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1) on 1/22/2026 at 3:23 pm, OT 1 stated OTs used
goniometers to measure joint mobility to objectively determine a resident's baseline ROM. OT 1 reviewed
Resident 2's OT Evaluation, 10/3/2025, and confirmed Resident 2's ROM of both shoulders and both hands
were limited. OT 1 confirmed she did not use a goniometer to measure the joints of both hands and both
shoulders but should have because Resident 2 had ROM limitations. OT 1 stated Resident 2's baseline
ROM of both shoulders and both hands were not determined because the ROM limitations were not
measured with a goniometer. OT 1 stated lack of objective ROM measurements of impaired joints could
result in missed opportunities to detect ROM changes and determine if the treatment and services provided
were effective. OT 1 stated it was important to provide objective measurements of a limited joint in the OT
evaluation to ensure changes such as improvements or declines in ROM could be detected. During an
interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated the facility monitored
for changes in ROM by staff report and Rehab Screens performed upon admission, quarterly, and as
needed by Rehab. The DON stated it was important to accurately monitor changes in joint ROM to ensure
the residents received the appropriate services to prevent ROM decline and contractures. 3. During a
review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 8 on 11/6/2024 and re-admitted Resident 8 on 1/22/2025 with diagnoses including dementia
(decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), fracture of the left neck of the femur
(broken hip, broken bone in the top potion of the thigh bone where it connects to the hip joint), and
malignant neoplasm of the prostate (uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the prostate gland, a male
reproductive organ). During a review of Resident 8's Physician Order Report, the Physician Order Report
indicated an RNA order, dated 6/6/2026, for RNA to provide active assistive range of motion (AAROM, use
of muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but required some help from a person or
equipment) exercises to Resident 8's both arms and both legs for a minimum of 5 times a week or as
tolerated while observing left hip precautions (specific movements and positions that must be followed after
having surgery to prevent a hip dislocation [disruption of the normal position of the ends of two or more
bones where they meet at the joint] or injury which includes no bending of the hip past 90 degrees, no
rotation of the operated leg inwards, and no crossing of the operated leg past the midline of the body).
During a review of Resident 8's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired
cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 8 required substantial/maximal assistance for eating, rolling to both
sides, and was dependent for transfers, hygiene, bathing, and dressing. During an RNA session
observation on 1/21/2026 at 11:10 am, Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2) 2 transported Resident 8 who
was seated in a wheelchair from the dining room into Resident 8's room. RNA 2 entered Resident 8's room
and positioned Resident 8's wheelchair next to the bed. RNA 1 physically raised and lowered Resident 8's
both arms to shoulder height, bent and straightened Resident 8's both elbows, and bent, straightened, and
spread the fingers of Resident 8's both hands, eight (8) times each. RNA 1 did not assist or cue Resident 8
to perform ROM exercises to both wrists. RNA 1 asked Resident 8 to march both legs in place while seated
in the wheelchair. Resident 8 minimally raised and lowered both thighs 3 times and had difficulty following
RNA 2's instructions. RNA 2 did not assist with ROM of Resident

8's both hips. RNA 2 physically assisted Resident 8 to bend and straighten both knees, 8 times for each
leg. RNA 2 did not provide exercises or cue Resident 8 to perform ankle ROM exercises. RNA 2 stated the
RNA session was complete and transported Resident 2 back to the dining room. During a concurrent
interview and record review with RNA 2 on 01/21/2026 11:24 am, RNA 2 confirmed Resident 8 had an
RNA order for AAROM exercises to both arms and both legs while observing left hip precautions, 5 times a
week. RNA 2 stated AAROM meant that RNA 2 verbally cued and demonstrated the ROM exercises for the
resident to perform independently and did not physically assist the resident with exercises. RNA 2 stated
Resident 8 was unable to fully move both arms and both legs independently but did not physically assist
with ROM because the order was for AAROM. RNA 2 stated she thought she was assisting with AAROM
exercises to both hips because she provided verbal cueing only and did not physically assist Resident 8
through the ROM. RNA 2 stated she provided passive range of motion (PROM, movement at a given joint
with full assistance from another person) exercises to Resident 8's both shoulders, both elbows, both
hands, and both knees because he did not assist at all with exercises but was unsure why she did because
the RNA order was for AAROM, not PROM. RNA 2 stated Resident 8 could move both arms and both legs
but had difficulty with ROM due to confusion and difficulty following instructions. RNA 2 stated she forgot to
provide ROM exercises to Resident 8's both wrists, both hips, and both ankles as ordered. RNA 2 stated it
was important to provide RNA exercises as ordered to prevent joint stiffness and harm. During a concurrent
interview and record review with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm, the DOR
who was a PT stated Rehab created the RNA programs and trained the RNAs in how to properly carry out
the prescribed exercises before transitioning residents to an RNA program. The DOR stated RNAs were to
carry out RNA exercises as ordered. The DOR stated there were 3 main types of ROM exercises: Active
ROM which meant the resident performed the exercises independently, AAROM exercises which meant the
resident performed the exercises as much as possible on his or her own and required the physical
assistance of another person or equipment to move the arm or leg through the rest of the motion, and
passive ROM which meant a person or equipment provided total physical assistance with ROM. The DOR
reviewed Resident 8's RNA orders and confirmed Resident 8 had an RNA order for AAROM exercises to
Resident 8's both arms and both legs. The DOR stated AAROM exercises were typically prescribed to
residents who were unable to obtain full ROM on their own and needed the assistance of RNA or
equipment to help move through the rest of the motion. The DOR stated if an RNA order was written for
AAROM exercises to both legs, it was expected the RNA provide AAROM to the entire leg, which included
the hips, knees, and ankles. The DOR stated if an RNA order was written for AAROM exercises to both
arms, it was expected the RNA provide AAROM to the entire arm, which included the shoulders, elbows,
wrists, and hands. The DOR stated it was important for RNA to carry out the exercises as ordered to ensure
the resident maintained his or her abilities and did not have a functional decline. During an interview with
the DON on 1/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated it was important for RNA to provide exercises as
ordered to prevent contracture development and functional declines. 4. During a review of Resident 2's
admission Order, the admission Order indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 2 on 8/27/2025 and
re-admitted Resident 2 on 10/2/2025 with diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis, gastrointestinal
hemorrhage, and muscle weakness.During a review of Resident 2's Physician Order Report, the Physician
Order Report indicated a physician's order, dated 12/15/2025, for RNA to assist Resident 2 with ambulation
(walking) exercises using a front wheeled walker (FWW, mobility device with two wheels in the front used
for support when standing or walking) a minimum of 5 times a week. During a review of Resident 2's
December 2025 RNA History Report (daily record of RNA services provided for each month), the RNA

care records for the following days: 12/16/2025, 12/21/2025, 12/24/2025, 12/26/2025, 12/28/2025,
12/29/2025, and 12/31/2025. During a review of Resident 2's January 2026 RNA History Report, the RNA
History Report indicated for RNA to assist Resident 2 with walking exercises. The RNA History Report
indicated missing care records for the following days: 1/1/2026, 1/2/2026, 1/7/2026, 1/14/2026, and
1/21/2026. The RNA History Report indicated the RNA task was not performed on the following days:
1/11/2026, 1/12/2026, and 1/20/2026. During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS
indicated Resident 2 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required set up or clean up
assistance for eating and oral hygiene, partial/moderate assistance for rolling to both sides and walking,
substantial/maximal assistance for upper body dressing, personal hygiene, and transfers and was
dependent for toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 2 had
functional limitations in ROM in both arms and both legs. During an observation and interview with Resident
2 in Resident 2's room on 1/20/2026 at 3:27 pm, Resident 2 was lying in bed. Resident 2 was unable to
straighten her right knee and minimally moved her ankle upwards and downwards. Resident 2 stated she
has had right knee pain for awhile because of rheumatoid arthritis which interfered with her ability to walk.
Resident 2 stated she required assistance with walking because she was unable to walk by herself.
Resident 2 stated RNA assisted with walking exercises every now and then but did not feel they came
enough during the week. Resident 2 stated she wished RNA came more often to walk her back and forth to
the dining room since she was unable to walk on her own. During an interview with RNA 2 on 1/20/2026 at
11:41 am, RNA 2 stated the facility had one RNA on the floor during the day shift providing RNA exercises,
seven days a week. RNA 2 stated RNA exercises provided included ROM exercises, walking exercises,
transfers, applying splints (rigid material or apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken bone or
impaired joint), and feeding. RNA 2 stated RNA tried but did not always get to all the residents on the RNA
caseload daily because of occasional staffing shortages. RNA 2 stated RNA was supposed to document
the exercises provided to each resident on the RNA program in the electronic health record after every
RNA session. RNA 2 stated if she was unable to provide RNA exercises to a resident as scheduled, she
would not document in the electronic health record at all. During an interview with the DON on 1/22/2026 at
5:42 pm, the DON stated the purpose of the RNA program was to ensure the residents in the facility
maintained their level of function and to prevent any functional declines. The DON stated missed RNA
treatments could potentially cause a resident to have a functional decline and develop contractures. During
a concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 1/23/2026 at
2:12 pm, the DSD stated she supervised the RNAs. The DSD stated the purpose of the RNA program was
to ensure the residents in the facility received exercises to maintain their current level of function and to
prevent joint stiffness and contractures. The DSD reviewed Resident 2's December 2025 and January 2026
RNA History Reports and physician's orders. The DSD confirmed Resident 2 had physician's orders for
RNA to assist Resident 2 with ambulation exercises using a FWW a minimum of 5 times a week. The DSD
stated missing dates on the RNA History Reports indicated RNA did not document the RNA session which
meant RNA services were not provided that day. The DSD confirmed Resident 8 missed one RNA session
the week of 12/14/2025 to 12/20/2025, 3 RNA sessions the week of 12/21/2025 to 12/27/2025, 5 RNA
sessions the week of 12/28/2025 to 1/3/2026, one RNA session the week of 1/4/2026 to 1/10/2026, and 3
RNA sessions the week of 1/11/2026 to 1/17/2026, totaling 13 missed RNA sessions from 12/1/2025 to
1/23/2026. The DSD stated RNA did not provide Resident 8 with RNA services, 5 times a week as ordered
by the physician. The DSD stated it was important for RNA to provide services as prescribed by the

missed treatments could place residents at risk for a functional decline in ROM, ADLs, and contracture
development. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Resident Mobility and ROM,
revised 7/2017, the P/P indicated the facility would ensure residents would not experience an avoidable
reduction in ROM, residents with limited ROM would receive treatment and services to increase and/or
prevent a further decrease in ROM, and residents with limited mobility would receive appropriate services,
equipment, and assistance to maintain mobility unless unavoidable. The P/P indicated the nurse would
identify the current ROM of his or her joints, limitations in movement or mobility, opportunities for
improvement, and previous treatment and services for mobility. The P/P indicated the care plan would
include specific interventions, exercises, and therapies to maintain, prevent avoidable decline in, and/or
improve mobility and ROM. The P/P indicated the care plan would include the type, frequency, and direction
of interventions as well as measurable goals and objectives. During a review of the facility's P/P titled,
Restorative Nursing Services, the P/P indicated residents would receive restorative nursing care as needed
to help promote optimal safety and independence.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure Restorative Nursing Aides
(RNA, trained nursing staff who help residents gain an improved quality of life by increasing their level of
strength and mobility) were competent to provide RNA services to one of six sampled residents (Resident
8) by failing to: 1.Ensure Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2) was competent to perform active assistive
range of motion (AAROM, use of muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but required some
help from a person or equipment) exercises to Resident 8's both arms and both legs in accordance with
physician orders. 2.Ensure RNA 1 and RNA 2 were competent and knowledgeable of left posterior hip
precautions (specific movements and positions that must be followed after having surgery to prevent a hip
dislocation [disruption of the normal position of the ends of two or more bones where they meet at the joint]
or injury which includes no bending of the hip past 90 degrees, no rotation of the operated leg inwards, and
no crossing of the operated leg past the midline of the body) while assisting with ROM exercises to
Resident 8's left leg. These failures had the potential to cause Resident 8 to experience pain, a left hip
dislocation or injury, and resulted in inefficient delivery of ROM services which could lead to ROM and
functional decline for residents receiving RNA services. Findings: During a review of Resident 8's admission
Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 8 on 11/6/2024 and
re-admitted Resident 8 on 1/22/2025 with diagnoses including dementia (decline in mental ability severe
enough to interfere with daily life), fracture of the left neck of the femur (broken hip, broken bone in the top
potion of the thigh bone where it connects to the hip joint), and malignant neoplasm of the prostate
(uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the prostate gland, a male reproductive organ). During a review
of Resident 8's Physician Order Report, the Physician Order Report indicated a physician's order, dated
1/3/2025 and discontinued 4/2/2025, for Resident 8 to be weightbearing as tolerated (WBAT, a person is
medically cleared to place as much weight through the affected arm or leg to the point of comfort or
tolerance) to the left leg with posterior hip precautions. During a review of Resident 8's Physician Order
Report, the Physician Order Report indicated an RNA order, dated 6/6/2026, for RNA to provide AAROM
exercises to Resident 8's both arms and both legs for a minimum of five (5) times a week or as tolerated
while observing left hip precautions. During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident
assessment tool), dated 1/15/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 8 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for eating, rolling to both sides, and
was dependent (helper does all the effort) for transfers, hygiene, bathing, and dressing. During an RNA
session observation on 1/21/2026 at 11:10 am, RNA 2 transported Resident 8 who was seated in a
wheelchair from the dining room into Resident 8's room. RNA 2 entered Resident 8's room and positioned
Resident 8's wheelchair next to the bed. RNA 1 physically raised and lowered Resident 8's both arms to
shoulder height, bent and straightened Resident 8's both elbows, and bent, straightened, and spread the
fingers of Resident 8's both hands, eight (8) times each. RNA 1 did not assist or cue Resident 8 to perform
ROM exercises to both wrists. RNA 1 asked Resident 8 to march both legs in place while seated in the
wheelchair. Resident 8 minimally raised and lowered both thighs three times and had difficulty following
RNA 2's instructions. RNA 2 did not assist with ROM of Resident 8's both hips. RNA 2 physically assisted
Resident 8 to bend and straighten both knees, 8 times for each leg. RNA 2 did not provide exercises or cue
Resident 8 to perform ankle ROM exercises. RNA 2 stated the RNA session was complete and transported
Resident 2 back to the dining room. During a concurrent interview and

ROM exercises to Resident 8's both wrists, both hips, and both ankles. RNA 2 stated she did not know what
hip precautions meant. RNA 2 stated she had been providing RNA ROM exercises to Resident 8's both
legs since the RNA order which indicated for RNA to observe left hip precautions was written but did not
know what left hip precautions meant. RNA 2 stated she thought Resident 8 had a history of a hip fracture
but was unsure. RNA 2 stated the Rehabilitation Department (Rehab) never instructed RNA 2 in what hip
precautions were when Resident 8 transitioned to RNA and confirmed she never asked for clarification
before starting Resident 8's RNA program. RNA 2 stated the facility did not assess RNA competency. RNA
2 stated it was important for RNAs to be knowledgeable of ROM exercises and precautions to prevent joint
stiffness and harm. During a concurrent interview and record review with RNA 1 on 1/22/2026 at 11:29 am,
RNA 1 reviewed Resident 8's RNA order and confirmed Resident 8 had an RNA order for AAROM
exercises to both arms and both legs while observing left hip precautions. RNA 1 stated she did not know
what left hip precautions meant in Resident 8's RNA order. RNA 1 stated therapy never instructed RNA in
what hip precautions were and she did not ask for clarification. RNA 1 stated she had been providing RNA
ROM exercises to Resident 8's both legs since the RNA order which indicated for RNA to observe left hip
precautions was written but did not know what left hip precautions meant. RNA 1 stated Resident 8 broke
his hip a long time ago but thought hip precautions meant for RNA to ensure RNA did not irritate Resident
8's left hip when doing ROM and did not know which ROM movements and positions to avoid. RNA 1 stated
the facility did not assess RNA competency. RNA 1 stated it was important RNAs provided RNA services as
ordered and were knowledgeable of precautions to prevent resident injury. During a concurrent interview
and record review with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm, the DOR who was

resident maintained his or her abilities and did not have a functional decline. The DOR stated posterior hip
precautions were put in place to decrease the risk of hip dislocation after surgery. The DOR stated posterior
hip precautions meant no bending of the operated leg past 90 degrees, no rotation of the operated leg
inwards, and no movement of the operated leg toward the middle of the body. The DOR stated it was very
important for RNAs to be knowledgeable of hip precautions while providing ROM exercises because not
knowing and/or not following hip precautions during RNA could lead to resident injury and hip dislocation.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 01/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated
conducting staff competencies were important to ensure staff were up to date and competent in performing
their job duties. The DON stated the facility had two primary RNAs for all the residents in the facility and
were in the process of training more CNAs to have RNA certification. The DON stated the RNAs assisted
residents with activities such as ROM exercises, walking exercises, sit to stand exercises and feeding to
ensure the residents in the facility maintained their current level of function and did not experience a
functional decline. The DON stated it was important for the RNAs to know the differences in ROM and be
knowledgeable of precautions while providing RNA services to the residents in the facility to prevent injuries
and functional declines. The DON stated the facility did not have a way to ensure the RNA staff were
competent in their job duties since they did not conduct RNA competencies. The DON stated if RNA
competencies were not completed routinely, the facility would not know the staff were up to date and
competent in their job duties which could potentially lead to injury of staff and/or residents. During an
interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 1/23/2026 at 10:17 am, the DSD stated the
RNAs in the facility were CNAs with specialized training in RNA services. The DSD stated she was
responsible for completing CNA competencies yearly but never completed any competencies for the RNAs.
The DSD stated the facility did not have a way to ensure the RNA staff were competent in their job duties
since they did not conduct RNA competencies. The DSD stated the CNA competency checklist did not
assess staff's competency of RNA tasks such as ROM exercises. The DSD stated it was important for
RNAs to know the differences in ROM and be knowledgeable of precautions while providing RNA services
to ensure the appropriate treatment was being given to the residents and to prevent any injury or decline.
The DSD stated it was important for the facility to have recurring competency assessments for staff to
ensure the care and services provided were appropriate and safe. The DSD stated it placed the residents in
the facility at risk for harm if staff were not competent in the services they were providing. During a review
of the facility's Policy and Procedures (P/P), titled, Competent Nursing, revised 2001, the P/P indicated the
facility provided nursing staff with the appropriate skills and competency necessary to provide nursing and
related care and services for all residents in accordance with resident care plans and the facility
assessment. The P/P indicated competency requirements and training for nursing staff were established
and monitored by nursing leadership with input from the medical director to ensure programming for staff
training results in nursing competency, gaps in education are identified and addressed, education topics
and skills needed are determined based on the resident population, tracking or other mechanisms were in
place to evaluate effectiveness of training, and training

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to verify the dose of Vitamin B-12 (supplement) order for one
of two sample residents (Resident 35). This deficient practice had the potential to result in medication
errors. Findings: During a review of Resident 35's Face Sheet (front page of the chart that contains a
summary of basic information about the resident), the face sheet indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough
healthy red blood cells), osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by a gradual loss of
cartilage), and osteopenia (condition characterized by lower-than-normal bone mineral density).During a
review of Resident 35's Minimum Data set ([MDS] A resident assessment tool), dated 10/16/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 35's cognitive skills (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process
information, and remember things) for daily decision-making was intact. During a review of Resident 35's
View Prescription Order, starting 7/7/2023, the prescription ordered indicated to give Vitamin B-12 1,000
microgram (mcg) tablet once a day.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/21/2026 at 8:36
a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) Resident 35's physician order for vitamin B-12 was
reviewed. The ADON stated the order needed to be clarified because the tablet was 1,000 milligrams (mg)
and the order indicated to administer 1000 mcg. The ADON stated it was important to administer the
correct dosage for resident safety. During an interview on 1/22/2026 at 3:30 p.m. with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated medication orders need to have the correct dosage. During a review of the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Administering Medication, revised 12/2012, the P&P indicated
medications shall be administered in a safe manner as described with the right the right dose. During a
review of the facility pharmacy's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Orders, reviewed 5/21/2025,
the P&P indicated all medications orders must be complete and clear and the order must include the dose.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to administer psychotropic medications (chemical substance
that treat mental illnesses that affect the brain that modifies mood, thought, emotions, and behavior) in a
timely manner for one of four sampled residents (Resident 39). This deficient practice had the potential to
cause delay in treatment and exacerbate Resident 39's condition. During a review of Resident 39's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 39 was initially admitted on [DATE] and was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (group of thinking and
social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) with agitation and psychotic (seeing, hearing and
believing that is not based on reality) disturbance, anxiety disorder, and Parkinsonism (group of movement
disorders that includes symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slow movements, and balance problems).
During a review of Resident 39's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/17/2025, the H&P indicated
Resident 39 did not have the capacity to understand or make decisions. During a review of Resident 39's
Minimum Data set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 10/29/2025, the MDS indicated Resident
39's cognitive (ability to think, learn and remember) skills was severely impaired. The MDS indicated
Resident 39 was dependent on staff for performing all aspects of activities of daily living (ADL: basic
activities such as eating, dressing, toileting).During a review of Resident 39's Physician Order Report dated
12/22/2025 to 1/22/2026, the report indicated the following orders:Order dated 11/18/2024: Seroquel

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an opened Tuberculin,
Purified Protein Derivative ([PPD] medication used to do a skin test to help detect tuberculosis serious lung
infection) for one of two medication rooms was labeled with the date opened. These deficient practices had
the potential to result in the loss of viability (ability to work) of the PPD if used beyond recommended date.
Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/20/2026 at 8:41 a.m. with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 1, in the North station medication room, the PPD vial was previously opened, and the
vial was not labeled with the date it was opened. RNS 1 stated the vial should have had the open date on it.

interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Physical Therapy (PT, licensed professional
aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) Evaluation, dated
12/23/2025, and Occupational Therapy (OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a
person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) Evaluation, dated 12/23/2025, were completed
under the written order of a physician for one of six sampled residents (Resident 1). These deficient
practices had the potential to result in inaccurate care planning, harm, inaccurate provision of care and
services, and lack of physician verification and coordination of skilled needs and care.Findings: During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted
Resident 1 on 9/1/2025 and re-admitted Resident 1 on 12/22/2025 with diagnoses including cellulitis (skin
infection) of both legs, muscle weakness, and sepsis (illness caused by the body's response to an
infection). During a review of Resident 1's PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment (PT Eval), dated
12/23/2025, the PT Evaluation indicated Resident 1's reason for PT Eval was for decrease in functional
mobility, decrease in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint), decreased strength,
decreased postural alignment, decreased ambulation (walking), increased need for assistance from others,
limited and painful movement, decreased balance, and decreased activities of daily living (ADL, basic
activities such as eating, dressing, toileting). The PT Eval indicated Resident 1 would receive PT services
five times a week for 30 days. During a review of Resident 1's OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment (OT
Eval), dated 12/23/2025, the OT Evaluation indicated Resident 1 the reason for the OT Eval was for edema
exacerbation (sudden, significant increase in fluid retention), decreased strength, decreased ROM,
wounds, and increased need for assistance from others. The OT Eval indicated Resident 1 would receive
OT services five times a week for 30 days. During a review of Resident 1's PT Discharge summary, dated
[DATE], the PT Discharge Summary indicated Resident 1 was discharged from PT services on 1/9/2026.
During a review of Resident 1's OT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], the OT Discharge Summary
indicated Resident 1 was discharged from OT services on 1/9/2026. During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 1/11/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had
moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The
MDS indicated Resident 1 required set up or clean up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up) for eating
and oral hygiene, partial/moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance with upper body
dressing, substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for lower body dressing
and rolling to both sides, and was dependent (helper does all the effort) for transfers and bathing. During a
concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm,
the DOR who was a PT stated PT and OT required physician orders to evaluate and treat residents in the
facility. The DOR reviewed Resident 1's physician's orders and confirmed PT and OT did not have physician
orders to evaluate and treat Resident 1. The DOR reviewed Resident 1's therapy and clinical records and
confirmed PT and OT evaluated Resident 1 for skilled therapy services (services that require specialized
training and experience of a licensed therapist or therapy assistant) on 12/23/2025 and provided therapy
treatment five times a week until the time of discharge on [DATE] without a physician's order. The DOR
stated PT and OT required physician's orders to evaluate and treat residents in the facility to ensure the
resident was medically stable and appropriate to participate in therapy and to ensure the plan of care was

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical records for two of six sampled
residents (Residents 2 and 8) were accurate by failing to: Ensure Restorative Nursing Aides (RNA, nursing
aide program that help residents maintain any progress made after therapy intervention to maintain their
function) accurately documented RNA services provided for Resident 2 in December 2025 and January
2026.Ensure Resident 8's left posterior (toward the back) hip precautions (specific movements and
positions that must be followed after having hip surgery to prevent a hip dislocation [disruption of the
normal position of the ends of two or more bones where they meet at the joint] or injury which includes no
bending of the hip past 90 degrees, no rotation of the operated leg inwards, and no crossing of the
operated leg past the midline of the body) were discontinued on the RNA order when Resident 8's left hip
precautions were discontinued by the physician.These deficient practices had the potential to negatively
impact the provision of necessary care and services, cause miscommunication among staff, and cause a
decline in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint), mobility, and overall function. Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially
admitted Resident 2 on 8/27/2025 and re-admitted Resident 2 on 10/2/2025 with diagnoses including
rheumatoid arthritis (painful swelling and stiffness of the joints caused by the body attacking its own healthy
tissues and joints by mistake), gastrointestinal hemorrhage (bleeding that occurs in the digestive track), and
muscle weakness. During a review of Resident 2's Physician Order Report, the Physician Order Report
indicated a physician's order, dated 12/15/2025, for RNA to assist Resident 2 with ambulation (walking)
exercises using a front wheeled walker (FWW, mobility device with two wheels in the front used for support
when standing or walking) a minimum of 5 times a week. During a review of Resident 2's December 2025
RNA History Report (daily record of RNA services provided for each month), the RNA History Report
indicated for RNA to assist Resident 2 with walking exercises. The RNA History Report indicated missing
care records for the following days: 12/16/2025, 12/21/2025, 12/24/2025, 12/26/2025, 12/28/2025,
12/29/2025, and 12/31/2025. During a review of Resident 2's January 2026 RNA History Report, the RNA
History Report indicated for RNA to assist Resident 2 with walking exercises. The RNA History Report
indicated missing care records for the following days: 1/1/2026, 1/2/2026, 1/7/2026, 1/14/2026, and
1/21/2026. During a review of Resident 2's minimum data set (MDS a resident assessment tool), dated
1/14/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was cognitively (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge
and understanding) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required set up or clean up assistance (helper
sets up or cleans up) for eating and oral hygiene, partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half
the effort) for rolling to both sides and walking, substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half
the effort) for upper body dressing, personal hygiene, and transfers and was dependent (helper does all the
effort) for toileting hygiene, lower body dressing, and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 2 had functional
limitations in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of
daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in both arms and both legs. During an observation and
interview with Resident 2 in Resident 2's room on 1/20/2026 at 3:27 pm, Resident 2 was lying in bed.
Resident 2 was unable to straighten her right knee and minimally moved her ankle upwards and
downwards. Resident 2 stated she has had right knee pain for awhile because of rheumatoid arthritis which
interfered with her ability to walk. Resident 2 stated she required assistance with walking because she was
unable to walk by herself. Resident 2 stated RNA assisted with walking exercises every

now and then but did not feel they came enough during the week. Resident 2 stated she wished RNA came
more often to walk her back and forth to the dining room since she was unable to walk on her own. During
an interview with Restorative Nursing Aide 2 (RNA 2) on 1/20/2026 at 11:41 am, RNA 2 stated the facility
had one RNA on the floor during the day shift providing RNA exercises, seven days a week. RNA 2 stated
RNA provided services which included ROM exercises, walking exercises, transfers, applying splints (rigid
material or apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken bone or impaired joint), and feeding. RNA 2
stated RNA tried but did not always get to all the residents on the RNA caseload daily because of
occasional staffing shortages. RNA 2 stated RNA was supposed to document the exercises provided to
each resident on the RNA program in the electronic health record after every RNA session. RNA 2 stated if
she was unable to provide RNA exercises to a resident as scheduled, she would not document in the
electronic health record at all. During an interview with Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) on 1/22/2026 at
9:56 am, RNA 1 stated the RNAs were supposed to document the services provided to the residents after
every RNA session. RNA 1 stated she was supposed to document services provided after every RNA
session but usually tried to ensure all documentation was in the electronic record by the end of the shift.
RNA 1 stated she tried to ensure all documentation was done timely but could possibly forget at times if
very busy. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on
1/23/2026 at 2:12 pm, the DSD stated she supervised the RNAs. The DSD stated the purpose of the RNA
program was to ensure the residents in the facility received exercises to maintain their current level of
function and to prevent joint stiffness and contractures. The DSD stated RNAs were supposed to document
RNA services provided after every RNA session. The DSD reviewed Resident 8's December 2025 RNA
History Report and confirmed missing care records on the following days: 12/16/2025, 12/21/2025,
12/24/2025, 12/26/2025, 12/28/2025, 12/29/2025, and 12/31/2025. The DSD reviewed Resident 8's
January 2026 RNA History Report and confirmed missing care records on the following days: 1/1/2026,
1/2/2026, 1/7/2026, 1/14/2026, and 1/21/2026. The DSD stated missing care records on the RNA History
Reports indicated RNA did not document the RNA session for the day or RNA treatment was not provided.
The DSD stated if RNAs forgot to document the RNA exercises provided, it meant the RNA service was not
provided due to lack of documented evidence. The DSD stated it was important that RNAs documented
accurately to ensure the facility could correctly monitor a resident's progress and tolerance to the RNA
program and to ensure all residents on the RNA program were seen as ordered to prevent any functional
declines. 2. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
initially admitted Resident 8 on 11/6/2024 and re-admitted Resident 8 on 1/22/2025 with diagnoses
including dementia (decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), fracture of the left
neck of the femur (broken hip, broken bone in the top potion of the thigh bone where it connects to the hip
joint), and malignant neoplasm of the prostate (uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the prostate
gland, a male reproductive organ). During a review of Resident 8's Physician Order Report, the Physician
Order Report indicated a physician's order, dated 1/3/2025 and discontinued 4/2/2025, for Resident 8 to be
weightbearing as tolerated (WBAT, a person is medically cleared to place as much weight through the
affected arm or leg to the point of comfort or tolerance) to the left leg with posterior hip precautions. During
a review of Resident 8's Physician Order Report, the Physician Order Report indicated an RNA order,
dated 6/6/2026, for RNA to provide active assistive ROM (AAROM, use of muscles surrounding the joint to
perform the exercise but required some help from a person or equipment) exercises to Resident 8's both
arms and both legs for a minimum of five times a week or as tolerated while observing left hip precautions.

indicated Resident 8 had severely impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 8 required
substantial/maximal assistance for eating, rolling to both sides, and was dependent for transfers, hygiene,
bathing, and dressing. During an RNA session observation on 1/21/2026 at 11:10 am, RNA 2 transported
Resident 8 who was seated in a wheelchair from the dining room into Resident 8's room. RNA 2 entered
Resident 8's room and positioned Resident 8's wheelchair next to the bed. After arm ROM exercises, RNA
1 asked Resident 8 to march both legs in place while seated in the wheelchair. Resident 8 minimally raised
and lowered both thighs three times and had difficulty following RNA 2's instructions. RNA 2 did not assist
with ROM of Resident 8's both hips. RNA 2 physically assisted Resident 8 to bend and straighten both
knees, eight times for each leg. RNA 2 did not provide exercises or cue Resident 8 to perform ankle ROM
exercises. RNA 2 stated the RNA session was complete and transported Resident 2 back to the dining
room.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated the
purpose of the RNA program was to ensure the residents in the facility maintained their level of function
and to prevent any functional declines. The DON stated it was important RNA documentation and RNA
orders were accurate to ensure the facility was providing the appropriate care and meeting the current
needs of the residents. During a concurrent record review and interview with the Director of Rehabilitation
on 1/22/2026 at 2:19 pm, the DOR who was also a Physical Therapist (PT, profession aimed in the
restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) stated Rehab created the RNA
programs and trained the RNAs in how to properly carry out the prescribed exercises before transitioning
residents to an RNA program. The DOR stated RNAs were to carry out RNA exercises and necessary
precautions as ordered. The DOR reviewed Resident 8's RNA orders and confirmed Resident 8 had an
RNA order for AAROM exercises to Resident 8's both arms and both legs while observing left hip
precautions. The DOR stated posterior hip precautions were put in place to decrease the risk of hip
dislocation after surgery. The DOR stated posterior hip precautions meant no bending of the operated leg
past 90 degrees, no rotation of the operated leg inwards, and no movement of the operated leg toward the
middle of the body. The DOR stated the RNA order was inaccurate because Resident 8's left hip
precautions were discontinued by the physician on 4/2/2025. The DOR stated staff should have
discontinued Resident 8's left hip precautions on the RNA order when the physician discontinued the
precautions on 4/2/2025. The DOR stated if RNA was ordered to observe hip precautions on a resident
who no longer had active orders to maintain hip precautions, it could result in a decline in ROM and
function due to avoidance of ROM and positions that did not need to be avoided. During a concurrent
record review and interview with the DSD on 1/23/2026 at 2:12 pm, the DSD stated RNAs were to carry out
the RNA program as ordered. The DSD stated it was important that RNA orders were accurate to ensure
the RNAs were providing the appropriate care and services based on the resident's needs. The DSD stated
inaccurate RNA orders could result in harm, injury, inappropriate delivery of services, and functional
decline. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P), titled Charting and Documentation,
revised 7/2017, the P/P indicated all services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals,
or any changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional, or psychosocial condition shall be
documented in the medical record. The P/P indicated treatment or services performed was to be
documented in the medical record. The P/P indicated documentation in the medical record would be
objective, completed, and accurate.

During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 16 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (group of thinking and
social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning) (severe with agitation), Alzheimer's disease (a type of
disease that affects memory, thinking, and behavior), and atherosclerotic heart disease (caused by fat
buildup in arterial walls that blocks blood flow).
During a review of Resident 16's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/19/2025, the H&P indicated Resident
16 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data set ([MDS], A resident assessment tool), dated
10/31/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 16's cognitive (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention,
process information, and remember things) skills were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 16
was dependent on performing all aspects of activities of daily living (ADL: basic activities such as eating,
dressing, toileting).
During a review of Resident 30's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 30 was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypertension (high blood pressure), traumatic
amputation at level between left hip and knee (on 1/14/2026), and peripheral vascular disease (PVD: a slow
progressive narrowing of the blood flow to the arms and legs).
During a review of Resident 30's MDS, dated [DATE] the MDS indicated Resident 30 was cognitively intact.
The MDS indicated Resident 30 was dependent on chair/bed-to-chair transfer, required maximal assistance

dementia (decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), fracture of the left neck of the
femur (broken hip, broken bone in the top potion of the thigh bone where it connects to the hip joint), and
malignant neoplasm of the prostate (uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the prostate gland, a male
reproductive organ).
During a review of Resident 8's Physician Order Report, the Physician Order Report indicated a physician's
order, dated 12/31/2024, for Resident 8 to be placed on EBP due to Resident 8's indwelling foley catheter
(thin, flexible rube inserted into the bladder to drain urine).
During an RNA observation on 1/21/2026 at 11:10 am, RNA 2 transported Resident 8 who was seated in a
wheelchair from the dining room into Resident 8's room. RNA 2 entered Resident 8's room, positioned
Resident 8's wheelchair next to the bed, and put on a pair of gloves. RNA 2 did not put on an isolation
gown. RNA 2 physically assisted Resident 8 with range of motion exercises to Resident 8's both shoulders,
both elbows, both hands, and both knees. When exercises were complete, RNA 2 removed both gloves,
performed hand hygiene, and transported Resident 8 back to the dining room.
During an interview with RNA 2 on 1/21/2026 at 11:24 am, RNA 2 confirmed she did not wear an isolation
gown while assisting Resident 8 who was on EBP with ROM exercises. RNA 2 stated she should have worn
an isolation gown while assisting Resident 8 with ROM exercises because she had direct contact with
Resident 8 who was on EBP. RNA 2 stated it was important to follow infection control protocols to prevent
the spread of infection.
During a concurrent interview and record review with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Infection
Preventionist Nursing (IPN) on 1/22/2026 at 4:46 pm, the ADON and IPN stated the purpose of EBP

devices inside the body) such as gastrostomy tube (G-tube- a tube placed directly into the stomach for
long-term feeding) and foley catheters. The IPN stated all staff providing direct patient care which included
assisting with ROM to residents on EBP must wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE,
equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that can cause serious injuries and illnesses) which
included an isolation gown and gloves to prevent the spread of infection. The ADON and IPN stated it was
important staff wore an isolation gown and gloves when providing direct care to residents on EBP to
prevent the spread of infection.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/22/2026 at 5:42 pm, the DON stated staff
should wear an isolation gown and gloves when providing direct care to residents on EBP according to
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions,
the P/P indicated it was the facility's policy to implement EBP for the prevention of transmission of multidrug
resistant organisms (MRDO). The P/P indicated EBP referred to an infection control intervention designed
to reduce transmission of MRDO that employed targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident
care activities. The P/P indicated an order for EBP for residents with wounds, indwelling medical devices
including foley catheters, and infection or colonization with MDRO.
c. During a review of Resident 54's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially
admitted Resident 54 on 1/8/2026 with diagnoses including cardiomyopathy (disease that causes
weakening of the heart muscle) and difficulty walking.
During an observation in the Therapy gym on 1/21/2026 at 2:42 pm, Resident 54 was observed seated on
the therapy mat with a cloth gait belt around the waist. COTA 1 assisted Resident 54 with sit to stand
exercises and marching exercises using a front wheeled walker (FWW, mobility device with two wheels in
the front used for support when standing or walking). Once the RNA session was complete, COTA removed
Resident 54's cloth gait belt, rolled it up, placed the gait belt on the sink, performed hand hygiene, put on
gloves, and wiped down both sides of the gait belt using disinfectant wipes.
During an interview with COTA 1 on 1/21/2026 at 2:55 pm, COTA 1 stated she cleaned and disinfected the
cloth gait belt with disinfectant wipes (disposable wipes used to disinfect surfaces) after working with
Resident 54. COTA 1 stated cloth gait belts were made of fabric. COTA 1 stated it was important shared
equipment was disinfected properly to prevent the spread of infection.
During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) on 1/21/2026 at
3:19 pm, the DOR stated all shared equipment which included cloth gait belts were disinfected using Lysol
disinfectant wipes after and in between resident use. The DOR stated cloth gait belts were made of fabric, a
porous (having small spaces or holes through which liquid or air may pass) material. The DOR reviewed the
Lysol disinfectant wipes manufacturer instructions and confirmed the instructions indicated the disinfectant
wipes were to be used on hard, non-porous surfaces only. The DOR stated Lysol disinfectant wipes were
ineffective because cloth gait belts were made of porous material. The DOR stated the only way to
effectively clean and disinfect cloth gait belts was to launder them after each resident use. The DOR stated
it was important to properly disinfect shared equipment according to manufacturer's instructions to ensure
equipment was disinfected effectively.
During a concurrent interview and record review with ADON and IPN on 1/22/2026 at 4:46 pm, the ADON
and IPN stated shared equipment was disinfected before and after resident use using Lysol disinfecting
wipes. The ADON and IPN stated they were unaware the facility still used cloth gait belts and
