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

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure the completed MDS (Minimum Data Set - a federally mandated health status screening and assessment tool used for all residents of long-term care health facilities) discharge assessments for two of two sampled residents (Residents 11 and 33) were submitted in a timely manner. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in resident data inaccuracies which could affect the facility's improvement efforts to provide high quality care to its residents. Findings: During a review of the Long-Term Care Survey Process (LTCSP - a computer application that supports the survey process for long-term care facilities) final sampling process, the non-mandatory facility task, Resident Assessment, was triggered. Residents 11 and 33 were triggered under this task for investigation of MDS records over 120 days old. During a review of Resident 11's Electronic Health Record (EHR), the admission Record (AR), dated 1/11/24, indicate in part, Resident 11 was an [AGE] year-old female resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including, non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (brain bleed), hypertension (high blood pressure), and cerebral edema (swelling of the brain). The AR further indicated, Resident 11 was discharged to an acute care hospital on 9/4/23. Review of Resident 11's EHR under MDS Summary, indicated no discharge assessment was initiated. During a review of Resident 33's, EHR the AR dated 1/11/24, indicated in part, Resident 33 was an [AGE] year-old male resident who was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including, liver cell carcinoma (liver cancer), hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar). The AR indicated, Resident 33 was discharged on 9/4/23. Review of Resident 33's EHR under MDS Summary, indicated no discharge assessment was initiated. During a concurrent interview and record review of Residents 11 and 33's, EHR under MDS Summary, on 1/11/24 at 10:24 a.m. with Assistant MDS Coordinator (AMDS), Residents 11 and 33's, EHR under MDS Summary, were reviewed. AMDS verified the discharge date s and confirmed that no MDS discharge assessments were initiated for both residents. AMDS verbalized the facility is required to complete the resident's discharge assessment from the date of the resident's discharge from the facility up to 14 days and also to electronically submit the discharge assessment from the date the assessment was completed up to 14 days. AMDS acknowledged the discharge assessments for Residents 11 and 33 should have (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to: Residents Affected - Few 1. Develop a person-centered interdisciplinary team nutrition care plan (IDTNCP - detailed plans of care created by representatives from several medical disciplines or specialties) for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 37) to include the resident's goals and desired outcomes. In addition, the IDTNCP lacked clear and specific measurable objectives and physician input, related to a planned weight gain for Resident 37. This failure resulted in unclear measurable weight gain goal and impedes the IDT from effectively monitoring, evaluating and revising the care plan, as appropriate, to ensure care needs would not go unrecognized and unmet. 2. Develop a care plan for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 35) receiving blood thinners. This failure had the potential to result in medication adverse consequences to not be monitored. Findings: 1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11 a.m. with Registered Dietitian (RD), Resident 37's admission Nutrition Assessment (NA), dated 12/4/23, was reviewed. The NA indicated, Resident 37's admit weight was 98 pounds (lbs) and his usual body weight (UBW) was 108 lbs. RD stated she assessed Resident 37's nutritional needs at 30-35 calories per kg (kilogram) to promote weight gain because his BMI was low and because he had already lost weight from a previous admission to the facility. RD stated she wanted Resident 37 to gain weight. The NA also contained a check mark next to maintain weight. RD stated in her mind when she marked a goal of maintain weight it meant that weight loss was not the goal, and the goal was at a minimum to maintain weight with the desire for weight gain. RD stated she did not specifically document what the weight goal was but in my mind I would want him to re-gain weight to his UBW (usual body weight) of 108 lbs. RD verified the weight goal was not clearly documented in the NA. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:30 a.m., with RD, RD stated she had not discussed that she assessed Resident 37's daily nutritional needs to promote weight gain with the resident or what his weight gain goal would be to ensure resident centered care. During a review of Resident 37's Weight Variance Progress Notes (WV), dated 1/10/24, the WV indicated, Resident 37 currently weighed 112 lbs, and the recommendation/plan was Continue POC (plan of care) diet, fluids, nutritional supplements, monitoring po intake, wts [weights], and all other nutritional parameters. Dc [discontinue] from weekly weight monitoring. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:35 a.m. with RD, Resident 37's IDT Nutrition Care Plan (IDTNCP), initiated by RD on 12/06/23, was reviewed. The IDTNCP included, Problem: . 12/20/23 gain of 3 lbs x 1 wk r/t [related to] po [by mouth] intake w/ [with] augmentation of nutritional supplement, 12/29/2023: + desirable 4 lbs or 3.7% weight gain x 1 week. + Good meal intakes and SF [sugar free] house shake daily, 1/10/24 Sig [significant] wt [weight] gain at 1 mon [month] r/t good po intake w/augmentation of nutritional supplement, Revision on: 1/10/24 .Goal: (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055684 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 16 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 055684 B.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few .Maintain weight +/-5% q [every] month x 3 months .Target Date: 03/03/2024 . RD stated, the goal indicated, Maintain weight +/-5% q month x 3 months. RD stated, the goal was not for weight loss, so the -5% of weight as part of the goal would not be applicable and was not accurate. RD verified the goal in her mind was for the resident to gain weight to UBW of 108 lbs. RD verified without a measurable goal the IDT would not know when the rate of weight gain or amount of weight gain might be of concern. RD verified without a specific measurable goal weight listed, the IDT would not be able to effectively monitor the POC, nor know when to revise when appropriate. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:38 a.m., with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 37's IDT nutrition care plan (IDTNCP), initiated by RD on 12/06/23, was reviewed. DON stated, the documented goal was, Maintain weight +/-5% q month x 3 months. DON verified the goal was not for the resident to lose weight, therefore the care plan goal was not accurate when it included -5% as being part of the goal. DON stated the goal is for weight maintenance or +5% weight gain. DON verified the IDT nutrition care plan had not contained clear, measurable goals when DON was unable to answer what the maintenance weight was, and was not aware RD assessment was for a planned weight gain, and was unable to state how much weight gain was planned, based on the IDT nutrition care plan, since the measurable goal was not clear. In addition, DON confirmed the expectation was for the IDT care plans to be developed with the participation of the physician, and with the resident's goals for outcomes which would include a planned weight gain. 2. During a review of Resident 35's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/9/23, the H&P indicated Resident 35 was admitted on [DATE] with a history of atrial fibrillation (when the heart beats irregularly which can produce blood clots leading to stroke or heart related death) and taking Eliquis (a blood thinning medication that controls blood clots). During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/9/24 at 2:57 p.m. with Resident 35, in the room, Resident 35 was observed sitting up in wheelchair and stated, I have heart disease and take Eliquis. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/11/23 at 3:35 p.m. with a licensed nurse (LN 3), Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed. LN 3 verified Resident 35 was taking Eliquis but unable to find documentation of a nursing care plan for monitoring. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/12/23 at 8:27 a.m. with the DON, Resident 35's clinical record was reviewed. Resident 35's, Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 11/8/23, indicated in part, . Eliquis tablet, give10 milligrams (mg), by mouth, twice a day for seven days ending 11/15/23 .and Eliquis tablet, give 5 mg, twice a day . Resident 35's, Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 12/1/23 - 1/11/24, was also reviewed and indicated the same Eliquis order. The DON stated the Eliquis order was current. When asked if a care plan was developed in conjuction with Resident 35 taking Eliquis, DON was unable to find a documented care plan and acknowledged one should have been developed as it was the facility's policy. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,Care Planning And Care Plans, dated April 2013, the P&P indicated, Purpose: To ensure that this facility is in compliance with the regulations by ensuring that the resident is provided with appropriate and individualized care; To provide a communication tool to the Interdisciplinary Team who is responsible for giving care on an individualized [NAME] .Guidelines: 1.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain and provide a prescribed, routine antihypertensive medication (a medication used to lower blood pressure) ordered for one of three sampled residents (Resident 40). This failure had the potential to result in uncontrolled blood pressure levels and subsequent complications for Resident 40. Findings: During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 9:18 a.m. with a licensed nurse (LN 4), Resident 40's Losartan Potassium (a medication to treat high blood pressure) scheduled to be administered for 9 a.m. was not available in the medication cart. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/10/24 at 11:11 a.m. with LN 4, LN 4 stated, This resident (referring to Resident 40) just transitioned from short-term to long-term care ( short stay to long stay in the facility). The pharmacy does not auto refill ( automatic dispensing) medications for short term residents, only for long term. LN 4 verbalized the medication was reordered on paper and showed the facility form titled, Medication Reorder Sheet, dated 1/8/24, was faxed to the pharmacy. LN 4 could not confirm if the faxed reorder form was received by the Pharmacy (1/10/24 the medication is not available in the facility to administered). LN 4 confirmed all resident medications prescribed to be given in the facility should be available at all times. During a review of Resident 40's, Electronic Health Record (EHR), the Medical Diagnosis section dated 12/14/23 indicated, Resident 40 was a [AGE] year-old female with admitting diagnoses including, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a group of diseases that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems), chronic atrial fibrillation (quivering of the heart), and essential hypertension (HTN - high blood pressure). Further review of Resident 40's EHR, under Medication Review Report, the report indicated, a medication order for Losartan Potassium oral tablet 100 mg (milligrams), give one tablet by mouth one time a day for HTN. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Medication Ordering and Receiving From Pharmacy Provider, dated 9/2010, the P&P indicated in part, Ordering and Receiving Non-Controlled Medications .

F 0756 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP) identified and reported irregularities during the medication regimen review (MRR) when nonpharmacological interventions (NPI) were not implemented for the behaviors exhibited for depression and psychosis for one of 16 sampled residents (Resident 34) This failure had the potential to result in Resident 34 receiving unnecessary medications. Findings: During a review of Resident 34's, Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1-1/31/24, the MAR indicated the following medication orders: Seroquel Oral Tablet (Quetiapine Fumarate), give 37.5 mg (milligram) by mouth one time a day for psychosis, manifested by aggressive behavior at 4 p.m. (start date: 12/9/23), Seroquel Oral Tablet (Quetiapine Fumarate) Give 12.5 mg by mouth one time a day for psychosis, manifested by aggressive behavior at 9 am (start date: 1/4/24), and Fluoxetine HCl (Prozac) capsule 20 mg, give one capsule by mouth one time a day for depression with anxiety manifested by demonstrating restlessness as evidenced by picking at own skin (start date: 1/4/24). No documentation of the NPI monitoring for psychotic behaviors and picking of skin was noted or located in Resident 34's MAR. During a concurrent interview and record review on 01/12/24 9:26 a.m., with the director of nursing (DON) and nurse supervisor (NS), confirmed NPI's were not documented as implemented in the MAR for Resident 34 and should have been. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/12/24, at 9:51 a.m., with the facility's consultant pharmacist (CP) and Manager of Clinical Operations (MCO), in the presence of the DON and NS, Resident 34's psychotropic medication profile was reviewed. The CP confirmed that implementation of NPI's were not reviewed with Resident 34's monthly medication review and acknowledged failing to identify that NPI's were not being implemented while Resident 34 was on psychotropic medication. Review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Monitoring 8.1 Medication Regimen Review and Reporting, dated 01/23, the P&P indicated: Policy: Medication Regimen Review (MRR) or Drug Regimen Review is a thorough evaluation of the medication regimen of a resident, with the goal of promoting positive outcomes and minimizing adverse consequences and potential risks associated with medication. The MRR includes review of the medical record in order to prevent, identify, report, and resolve medication-related problems, medication errors, or other irregularities. The MRR also involves collaborating with other members of the IDT, including the resident, their family, and/or resident representative. Procedures: 2. The consultant pharmacist reviews the medication regimen and medical chart of each resident at least monthly to appropriately monitor the medication and ensure that the medications each resident receives are clinically indicated. Identification of irregularities may occur by the consultant pharmacist utilizing a variety of sources including medication administration records (MAR), prescriber's orders, progress notes, nurse's notes, the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), Minimum Data Set (MDS), laboratory and diagnostic test results, behavior monitoring information and information from the nursing care center staff and other health professional involved in the resident's care.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure its medication error rate during medication pass observation was less than five percent (5%). The facility had a cumulative medication error rate of 10.34% when three errors out of 29 opportunities for errors were observed between two licensed nurses (LN 2 and LN 4) who administered medication to two sampled residents (Residents 25 & 40) and one unsampled resident (Resident 547). The observed medication administration errors were: Residents Affected - Few 1. LN 4 administered one capsule of Urox (a medication that supports bladder control) by mouth to Resident 25 instead of the prescribed order of two capsules. 2. LN 2 failed to administer the full dose of Clearlax (a laxative to treat occasional constipation) mixed in apple juice to Resident 547 when half of the mixture was thrown away. 3. LN 4 administered one puff of Tiotropium Bromide Monnohydrate (Spiriva - an inhaled medication that relaxes and opens the air passages of the lungs) to Resident 40 instead of the prescribed two puffs. These failures had the potential to compromise the health and safety of these residents. Findings: 1. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 8:30 a.m., with LN 4, LN 4 was observed administering one capsule of Urox 840 mg (milligram) by mouth to Resident 25. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 1/10/24, at 11:35 a.m., with LN 4, Resident 25's, Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 1/10/24, was reviewed. The MRR indicated the medication order, Urox (Lindera) 840 mg give two capsules by mouth in AM one time a day for OAB (overactive bladder) (start date of 9/2/23). LN 4 confirmed giving only one capsule to Resident 25 instead of two and acknowledged not following the order. 2. During a medication pass observation on 1/10/24 at 8:58 a.m. with LN 2, LN 2 was observed mixing Clearlax 17 gm (gram) with four oz.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe food handling when puree chicken, a TCS food (Time-Temperature Control for Safety - food that requires time-temperature control to prevent the growth of bacteria), was not accurately cooled down. As a result, the residents who were scheduled to be served the planned alternate entrée of puree chicken, in lieu of the main entrée of puree fish, were placed at an increased risk for developing a foodborne illness. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/09/24 at 11:15 a.m. with Dietary Manager (DM), in the walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen, a small steam table pan of puree chicken was covered and dated 1/9/24. DM stated the puree chicken was the planned alternate for that night's dinner for the resident's on a puree diet who disliked the main entrée of puree fish. During an interview on 01/09/24 at 11:16 a.m. with Cook, [NAME] stated at 6:30 a.m. that morning he cooked chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (Fahrenheit). [NAME] stated he then pureed the chicken and placed the puree chicken in a holding pan that was on ice to cool down. [NAME] stated two hours later he checked the temperature of the puree chicken and it was 69 degrees F at 9:30 a.m. [NAME] was asked if there was a cooling log and cook pointed to a log posted on the wall in the kitchen titled, Cooling/Chilling Temperature Log. There were no documented entries on the cooling log for 1/9/24. [NAME] stated he had not yet documented any cool down temperatures for the puree chicken on the log. [NAME] was asked if there were any further steps he needed to do for the puree chicken. [NAME] stated he was done until dinner time when he would then re-heat the puree chicken to 165 degrees F to place into the steam table for dinner meal service. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/09/24 at 11:20 a.m. with DM, DM removed the pan of puree chicken from the walk-in refrigerator and placed it on a counter in the kitchen. DM inserted a digital thermometer in the middle of the puree chicken, and DM stated, It's 59 degrees F. DM verified the thermometer obtained from the cook was calibrated that morning. DM pointed to the Thermometer Calibration Log posted on the wall that was completed that morning by the cook. During a concurrent observation and interview on 01/09/24 at 11:34 a.m. with Cook, in the presence of DM, [NAME] stated he cooked the chicken to 165 degrees F this morning. He pureed the chicken and placed the pan of puree chicken on ice and checked the temperature two hours later and it was 69 degrees F. [NAME] then stated after the 2 hour temperature check of 69 degrees F, he checked the temperature of the puree chicken again three hours later around 11:30 a.m and it was 39 degrees F. The pan of puree chicken was currently located on the counter, and DM stated the temperature was just checked and it was 59 degrees F. [NAME] was asked if he was able to explain how the temperature reached 39 degrees F at 11:30 a.m., when it was removed from the refrigerator and it was only 59 degrees F currently. [NAME] did not have an answer, and [NAME] stated, Anyway we are going to throw it out. A copy of the Cooling/Chilling Temperature Log was requested. During a review of the facility's Cooling/Chilling Temperature Log (CL) that was provided, dated 01/09/24, the CL indicated, Puree, 6:00 [am] 165 degrees F, 8:00 am 69 degrees F, 9:30 am 39 degrees F, initialed as completed by the cook.

A new consent is obtained when there an increase in the medication dose. LN 1 added that medication adverse effects to the resident where checked and if needed, staff would try NPIs. When asked what NPI's were implemented, LN 1 stated it was all about the approach to the residents, making them feel they are part of their care. When asked if these NPI's were documented in Resident 34's chart, LN 1 stated they were not. During a review of Resident 34's, Electronic Health Record (EHR), the EHR indicated in part, Resident 34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with admitting diagnoses including dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities) with behavioral disturbance, psychosis (a condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real), and major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).
