F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. 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 one of one sampled resident (Resident 21) was informed in advance, of the risks and benefits of a psychoactive medication (a drug that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, or behavior). Residents Affected - Few This failure violated the residents' right to make an informed decision regarding the use of a psychoactive medication. Findings: During a review of Resident 21's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). During a review of Resident 21's History & Physical (H&P) dated 6/12/2024, the H&P indicated the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report (OSR- active orders as of 12/1/2024) dated 6/17/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 21 had an order for Mirtazapine (a medication used to treat depression- common and serious illness that negatively affects how one feels, thinks and acts) oral tablet 45 milligrams (mg) to be given once by mouth at bedtime for depression manifested by inability to sleep. During a review of Resident 21's consent for Mirtazapine 45 mg- one tablet by mouth at night for depression manifested by inability to sleep, dated 6/17/2024, the informed consent was not signed nor dated by the resident. During a review of Resident 21's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/18/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 21 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand) and needed supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cue and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as the resident completes the activity with assistance provided throughout the activity or intermittently) with moving from a sitting to standing position, transferring to and from a bed to a chair, wheelchair or side of the bed, and the ability to move on or off a toilet. During a review of Resident 21's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024, the MAR indicated Resident 21 received Mirtazipine 45 mg at bedtime from 12/1/2024 to 12/16/2024.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 call lights were within reach for three of three sampled residents (Residents 13, 17 and 35). Residents Affected - Some These deficient practices had the potential for the residents not to receive necessary care or receive delayed services to meet the residents' needs that could result in a fall or injury. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 17's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 17 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints caused by gradual loss of cartilage), epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing seizures) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a chronic lung diseases causing difficulty in breathing). During a review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/6/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 17 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand). Resident 17 required moderate assistance (helper did less than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene and lower body dressing and maximal assistance (helper did more than half the effort) with shower. During a review of Resident 17's Care Plan (CP) titled Fall Risk, dated 3/7/2024, the CP indicated Resident 17 was at risk for falls secondary to history of falls and impaired balance (a condition that makes it difficult to maintain orientation and feel steady). The CP interventions included to keep the resident's call light and bed control within easy reach. During a concurrent observation in Resident 17's room and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:03 am with the Activity Director (AD), Resident 17's call light was behind the headboard. The AD stated Resident 17 could not reach the call light. The AD stated Resident 17's call light should be close and next to the resident for the resident to use to call and ask for help and assistance. b. During a review of Resident 13's AR, the AR indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease (disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain that produces symptoms that include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait) without dyskinesia (a movement disorder that involves involuntary muscle movements) and unspecified dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning). During a review of Resident 13's CP titled Fall Risk dated 2/20/2023, the CP indicated Resident 13 was at risk for falls secondary to history of falls prior to admission and impaired balance and poor safety awareness. The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep call lights and bed controls within easy reach, encouraging the resident to call for assistance and for staff to answer the call light in a timely manner. During a review of Resident 13's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 13 had severely impaired cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 13 was dependent to staff for oral/toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055544 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 17 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 055544 B.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a review of Resident 13's Fall Risk Assessment (FRA- method of assessing a patient's likelihood of falling) dated 12/17/2024, the FRA indicated Resident 13 was assessed as high risk for fall due to disorientation, being chair bound, required the use of assistive devices and presence of predisposing disease condition. Residents Affected - Some During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 10:12 am in Resident 13's room, Resident 13 was awake and lying in bed. Resident 13's call light was clipped at the upper right side of the bed. Resident 13 was not able to reach the call light. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:18 am with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated Resident 13's call light was on the upper right side of the bed and the resident was unable to reach the call light. The CNA 1 stated, Resident 13's call light needed to be within reach all the time for Resident 13 to use to ask for assistance or help. c. During a review of Resident 35's AR, the AR indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included epilepsy (brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures (convulsions) over time) and right hand contracture (shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints). During a review of Resident 35's CP titled Fall Risk, dated 8/15/2023, the CP indicated Resident 35 was at risk for falls secondary to impaired balance and poor safety awareness. The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to keep call lights and bed controls within easy reach, encourage the resident to call for assistance and staff to answer call light in a timely manner. During a review of Resident 35's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 35 had severely impaired cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 35 was dependent (helper did all the effort and lifted or held trunk or limbs) to staff for oral/toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 35's FRA dated 12/17/2024, the FRA indicated Resident 35 was assessed as high risk for fall due to disorientation, being chair bound, requiring the use of assistive devices and presence of predisposing disease condition. During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 9:59 am in Resident 35's room, Resident 35 was asleep, lying in bed. Resident 35's call light was hanging on top of the headboard. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/17/2024 at 10 am, with the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 35 was unable to reach the call light because it was hanging on the top of the headboard. The ADON stated Resident 35's call light needed to be within reach for Resident 35 to use to call staff if Resident 35 needed assistance.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) reflected an accurate assessment for one of one resident (Resident 51). Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in inaccurate reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, a federal agency that administers the Medicare program and works with state governments to administer the Medicaid and health insurance portability standards) agency and had the potential for Resident 51 not to receive interventions to address the resident's specific care concerns. Findings: During a review of Resident 51's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 51 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included surgical aftercare (the treatment and care the patient received after surgery) following surgery on the digestive system (group of organs that work together to digest and absorb nutrients from food) and chronic kidney disease (progressive damage and loss of function of the kidneys). During a review of Resident 51's Physician's Order (PO) dated 10/1/2024, the PO indicated Resident 51 had an order to discharge home on [DATE] with home health nurse (a registered nurse who provides medical and personal care to patients in their homes), physical therapy/occupational therapy (PT/OT), walker (a mobility aid that helps provide stability and balance while walking), wheelchair (a chair fitted with wheels for use as a means of transport by a person who is unable to walk) and bedside commode (a portable toilet) as requested by the family. During a review of Resident 51's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 51 was discharged to an acute hospital. During a review of Resident 51's Licensed Personnel Progress Notes (LPPN) dated 10/8/2024, the LPPN indicated Resident 51 was discharged home and left the facility in stable condition. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/18/2024 at 2:24 pm with Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDS C), Resident 51's MDS, dated 10/8//2024 was reviewed. The MDS C stated Resident 51's discharge status was coded in error in the MDS and did not reflect the accurate information where the resident was discharged . The MDS C stated the MDS discharge status should be coded as discharge home under the care of organized home health service organization. During an interview on 12/18/2024 at 3:36 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated accurate assessment reflected the condition and care the resident needs. The DON stated accurate assessment and documentation were important for accurate reporting to the CMS. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Resident Assessments, revised November 2019, the P&P indicated, The resident assessment coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the interdisciplinary team conducts timely and appropriate resident assessments and reviews according to the OBRA and PPS required assessments.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in serious consequences that may accompany a fall for Resident 13. Findings: During a review of Resident 13's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Parkinson's disease (disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain that produces symptoms that include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait) without dyskinesia (a movement disorder that involves involuntary muscle movements) and unspecified dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning). During a review of Resident 13's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 2/27/2022, the OSR indicated for staff to place bilateral floormat for fall precaution every shift, for Resident 13. During a review of Resident 13's Care Plan (CP) titled Fall Risk, dated 2/20/2023, the CP indicated Resident 13 was at risk for falls secondary to history of falls prior to admission, impaired balance, and poor safety awareness. The CP interventions indicated for nursing staff to place floor mat on both sides of Resident 13's bed. During a review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 11/14/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 13 had severely impaired cognition for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 13 was dependent to staff for oral/toileting hygiene, shower, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 13's Fall Risk Assessment (FRA- method of assessing a patient's likelihood of falling), dated 12/17/2024, the FRA indicated Resident 13 was assessed as at high risk for fall due to disorientation, being chair bound, requiring the use of assistive devices and presence of predisposing disease condition. During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 9:59 am in Resident 13's bedroom, Resident 13 was awake and lying in bed. Resident 13's right landing floor mat was placed approximately 1 foot away from Resident 13's bed. During an interview on 12/17/2024 at 10:01 am with the facility's Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated floor mats needed to be placed closer to Resident 13's bed to catch Resident 13 in case of a fall and to prevent fatal injuries that could happen associated with a fall. During an interview on 12/18/2024 at 3:29 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 13's floor mats needed to be placed closer to Resident 13's bed.

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 staff failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 40) received two liters of oxygen as needed according to physician's order and monitor the resident's oxygen usage in accordance with professional standards of practice. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to cause complications associated with oxygen therapy for Resident 40. Findings: During a review of Resident 40's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 40 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), respiratory failure (a condition caused by inadequate supply of oxygen and/or the inability to remove carbon dioxide from the lungs), and urinary tract infection (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract). During a review of Resident 40's Order Summary Report (OSR) of Active Orders dated 7/15/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 40 had an order for two liters per minute (L/min) of oxygen via (through) nasal cannula (NC- tubing used to deliver oxygen that has two prongs that rest in the nostrils and connects to the oxygen concentrator) as needed to keep oxygen saturation above 92% for acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in your body tissues). During a review of Resident 40's History & Physical (H&P) dated 7/21/2024, the H&P indicated the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 40's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 10/22/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 40 had intact cognition (ability to understand) and needed supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cue and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as the resident completes the activity with assistance provided throughout the activity or intermittently) for eating and was dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity or the assistance of two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for toileting hygiene and showering/bathing. During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 11:06 am in Resident 40's room, Resident 40 was in bed receiving five L/min of oxygen with humidification through a NC. During another observation on 12/17/2024 at 12:39 pm in Resident 40's room, Resident 40 was in bed receiving five L/min of oxygen with humidification through a NC. During a review of Resident 40's Pain Assessment Flow Sheet for December 2024 and Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024, the documents indicated Resident 40 was receiving opioid analgesics (a class of drugs used to treat pain that can cause respiratory depression) of Tramadol (narcotic pain medication used to treat moderate to severe pain) 50 mg and Norco (hydrocodone-acetaminophen- narcotic analgesic for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain) oral tablet 10-325 mg for pain, almost daily.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Nurse 2 (LVN 2), Resident 40's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2024 was reviewed. The MAR did not indicate documentation (charting) on Resident 40 for the use of two L/min of oxygen via NC as needed to keep oxygen saturation above 92% for the month of December. LVN 2 stated Resident 40 was receiving two L/min of oxygen and last received Norco 10-325mg on 12/19/2024 at 6:30 am. LVN 2 further stated, Resident 40's oxygen use should be documented to ensure the resident was receiving sufficient oxygen. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/19/2024 at 10:16 am with LVN 2 in Resident 40's room, Resident 40 had ongoing oxygen at five L/min via NC. LVN 2 stated, the licensed nurse was responsible for monitoring the resident's oxygen to ensure it was set at the correct level and that the physician's order was followed. LVN 2 further stated, Resident 40 should only receive two L/min of oxygen as ordered. During an interview on 12/19/2024 at 12:20 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated Resident 40 was on oxygen continuously and that monitoring the resident's oxygen levels was necessary to check for respiratory distress and determine if interventions were effective or if the resident needed more supplemental oxygen. The ADON further stated, licensed staff should have been charting and monitoring Resident 40's oxygen usage to determine how often oxygen was needed and to assist the facility staff in obtaining appropriate orders for Resident 40 based on the resident's needs.

Residents Affected - Some During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/2024 at 1:12 pm with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 33's MR was reviewed. The DON stated there was no clinical documentation that appropriate alternatives were attempted before bedrail/siderails were used on Resident 33. The DON stated, when Resident 33 was re-admitted back to the facility, side rails were placed automatically. During a concurrent interview and record review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Proper Use of Side rails, on 12/20/2024 at 9:19 am with the facility's DON, the DON stated, use of appropriate alternatives should have been attempted before the use of bed rails as indicated in the policy. The DON stated bed rails could cause serious injury such as entrapment to the resident. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its Policy and Procedure (P&P) on the use of side rails/bed rails (adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars attached to the bed) for three of three sampled residents (Residents 21, 33 and 48) by failing to: a. (1). Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted before the installation of side rails for Resident 21. (2). Assess Resident 21 for risk of entrapment (an event in which a resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail) and obtained an informed consent to review the risks and benefits prior to installing bed rails. b. Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 33 before the installation of side rails. c. Ensure appropriate alternative interventions were attempted and did not meet the needs of Resident 48 before the installation of side rails. These failures placed Residents 21, 33 and 48 at risk for entrapment, injury or death from the use of side rails. Findings: a.

During an observation on 12/17/2024 at 10:57 am, in Resident 21's room, Resident 21 was sitting up on the side of the bed and both half side rails on the bed were up. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/17/2024 at 2:09 pm with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 21's medical record (MR) was reviewed. The MR did not have Resident 21's Entrapment Risk Evaluation for Bedrails and the Bedrails Assessment and Consent. The ADON stated, Resident 21 had a history of falls and the bedrail consent and assessments should have been completed to determine if bedrails were appropriate to use for Resident 21. The ADON further stated, the facility failed to use alternative measures prior to bedrail usage for Resident 21. During an interview on 12/20/2024 at 9:19 am with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated as specified in the facility's Bed Rails policy and procedure, the facility should use the least restrictive, alternative interventions and approaches before using bedrails as bed rails could be an entrapment risk for the residents.
