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 resident and/or responsible party (RP) was informed and consented in advance, of the risks and benefits of psychotherapeutic medications (used to treat a variety of mental health conditions by affecting brain chemistry and behavior) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 35) reviewed for psychotropic medications (a medication which are available on prescription to treat a certain type of mental health problems). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice violated resident/RP's right to make an informed decision regarding the use of psychotropic medications. Findings: During a record review, the admission Record indicated Resident 35 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a chemical imbalance in the blood affecting the brain), unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest). During a record review, the Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 4/9/2025, indicated Resident 35's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 35 required maximal assistance to a total dependent from staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS also indicated, Resident 35 was on antipsychotic and antidepressant medications (medications used to treat depression and other mental health conditions). During a record review, Resident 35's Order Summary Report indicated, the physician ordered the following medications: i. Mirtazapine (a prescription medication primarily used to treat depression in adults) 7.5 milligram (mg unit of measurement) - Give one tablet by mouth one time a day for depression, dated 4/3/2025. ii.

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 a bariatric bed (a heavy-duty, typically wider bed designed to accommodate individuals who are significantly overweight) did not impede the free movement of staff and one of three resident (Resident 148). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice resulted in impeding the free movement of Resident 148 and had the potential to impede the free movement of staff and guests. Cross Reference F912 Findings: During a record review Resident 148's admission indicated, Resident 148 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included fibromyalgia (a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes pain and tenderness throughout the body, as well as fatigue and trouble sleeping), muscle weakness, rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic, autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling), hypertension (high blood pressure) and spondylosis (the degeneration of the spine, particularly the intervertebral discs and facet joints, often associated with aging). During a review of Resident 148's history and physical (H&P) dated 5/22/2025 indicated Resident 148 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 148's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 5/22/2025, indicated Resident 148's cognition (The mental ability to make decisions of daily living) was intact. The MDS indiated Resident 148 required supervision or touching assistance for walking 10 feet, used cane/crutch and a walker, required partial moderate assistance for toileting, personal hygiene and upper body dressing, Resident 148 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing and putting on footwear. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/23/25 at 7:32 p.m., Resident 148's room appeared crowded with limited space for the resident to move around. Resident148's roommate was noted with a bariatric bed and a bedside table next to the bariatric bed. Resident 148 stated she feels closed in the room due to the size of her roommate's bariatric bed and bedside table. Resident 148 stated that, it (bariatric bed) takes up too much space in the room. I can barely get into the bathroom because if I open the bathroom door wide it bumps into my roommate's foot of her bed. Resident 148 stated I can only get out of my bed safely on the right side. Resident 148 stated she does not have enough room to move around freely in her room. Resident 148 stated that it makes her angry that she cannot freely move around. During a review of the Federal Guidance indicated that the measurement of the square footage should be based upon the useable living space of the room. The swing or arc of any door which opens directly into the resident's room should not be excluded from the calculations of useable square footage in a room.

During a review of Resident 148's history and physical (H&P) dated 5/22/2025 indicated Resident 148 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 148's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 5/22/2025, indicated Resident 148's cognition (The mental ability to make decisions of daily living) was intact. The MDS indiated Resident 148 required supervision or touching assistance for walking 10 feet, used cane/crutch and a walker, required partial moderate assistance for toileting, personal hygiene and upper body dressing, Resident 148 required substantial assistance with lower body dressing and putting on footwear. During an observation and concurrent interview on 5/23/25 at 7:32 p.m., Resident 148's room appeared crowded with limited space for the resident to move around. Resident148's roommate was noted with a bariatric bed and a bedside table next to the bariatric bed. Resident 148 stated she feels closed in the room due to the size of her roommate's bariatric bed and bedside table. Resident 148 stated that, it (bariatric bed) takes up too much space in the room. I can barely get into the bathroom because if I open the bathroom door wide it bumps into my roommate's foot of her bed. Resident 148 stated I can only get out of my bed safely on the right side. Resident 148 stated she does not have enough room to move around freely in her room. Resident 148 stated that it makes her angry that she cannot freely move around. During a review of the Federal Guidance indicated that the measurement of the square footage should be based upon the useable living space of the room. The swing or arc of any door which opens directly into the resident's room should not be excluded from the calculations of useable square footage in a room. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to: 1.
