Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain a complete a written
informed consent (voluntary agreements to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education
regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) for the use of physical restraints (devices that limit a
resident's movement) prior to the use of padded bilateral upper side rails for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 196).This failure resulted in a violation of Resident 196's right to be informed and participate in
treatment decisions. Findings:During a review of Resident 196's admission Record, the record indicated the
facility admitted the resident on 1/22/2026, with diagnoses including but not limited to tracheostomy (a
surgical procedure to create an opening through the neck into the windpipe to provide an alternative
airway), gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to
the stomach common for people with swallowing problems), and diabetes (a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).During a review of Resident 196's Minimum Data
Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool), dated 1/29/2026, the MDS indicated the
resident is severely cognitively impaired (inability to carry out regular tasks and apply judgement).During a
review of Resident 196's physician order, dated 1/31/2026, the order indicated, obtain informed consent
from the resident representative (a designated individual authorized to act on behalf of another person)
after explanation of risks and benefits for the use of padded bilateral upper side rails when the resident is in
bed.During a review of Resident 196's care plan, dated 1/31/2026, the care plan indicated, Low bed with
padded bilateral upper half side rails up and locked when in bed for safety and positioning.During a review
of Resident 196's informed consent for low bed with bilateral upper half side rails, undated, the consent
indicated documentation is to be completed before treatment is initiated for use of a restraint.During an
observation on 2/9/2026 at 9:46 a.m. in Resident 196's room, Resident 196's bilateral upper side rails were
padded and locked in position.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 1:18 p.m.
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, Resident 196's informed consent for low bed with bilateral upper
half side rails was reviewed. The consent did not indicate a signature from the prescribing physician,
resident representative, or nurse verifying the consent. LVN 3 stated she inputted the physician order into
the system and forgot to ensure the informed consent form was completed.During a concurrent interview
and record review on 2/16/2026 at 1:53 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails, dated August 2022 was reviewed. The P&P indicated,
the use of bed rails or side rails is prohibited unless the criteria for the use of bed rails have been met,
including attempts to use alternatives, interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment, and informed
consent. The DON stated padded side rails are a safety device and require informed consent prior to use.
The DON stated staff did not follow the facility's P&P.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Informed

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 Advance Directives ([AD]-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) were discussed and written information was provided
to the residents and/or responsible parties and had a completed Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment ([POLST]- a medical order that helps give people with serious illness more control over their care
during a medical emergency) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 18) in the medical
records.These failures had the potential for delay of care and treatment and/ or inadvertently missed health
care wishes/ decisions of the residents during emergencies, end of life, and changes in
condition.Findings:During a review of Resident 18's admission Record, the admission Record indicated,
Resident 18 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last re-admission was on [DATE] with
diagnosis including senile degeneration of brain (a neurological disorder that is tied to cognitive decline,
memory impairment, and changes in behavior), bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive
disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs),
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and encephalopathy (a disturbance of brain
function).During a review of Resident 18's History and Physical (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated,
Resident did not have the capacity (ability) to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident
18's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 18

Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), dated [DATE] was reviewed. The POLST indicated, Resident 18 had
order for Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNR- a medical order written by a doctor to instruct health care
providers NOT to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if breathing stops or the heart stops beating).
The POLST indicated, Section D for AD was left blank and it was not completed. RNS 1 stated, the POLST
was not completed because there was missing information. RNS 1 stated, if the POLST was not completed,
the resident would be treated as full code and all life sustaining measures would be done during the
emergency per policy. RNS 1 stated, the resident would be treated against his/her wish.During a concurrent
interview and record review on [DATE], at 10:36 a.m., with Social Service Assistant (SSA) 1, Resident 18's
Advance Healthcare Directive Acknowledgement (AHDA), dated [DATE] was reviewed. The AHDA
indicated, the written materials regarding right to formulate/ accept or refuse AD were given to Resident
18's Responsible Party (RP) via telephone. The AHDA indicated, SSA 1 completed POLST and had
telephone consent from RP without other witnesses. SSA 1 stated, she did not provide written materials
regarding AD. SSA 1 stated, she did not complete and update the POLST. SSA 1 stated, she should have a
witness while she was getting verbal consent via telephone. SSA 1 stated, there should be two witnesses

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the nursing staff notified the physician
in a timely manner when one out of three residents (Resident 122) refused tube feeding (a method of
delivering liquid nutrients, fluids, and medications directly into the stomach or small intestine via a flexible
tube) for the day. This deficient practice placed Resident 122 at risk for potential weight loss and
malnutrition. Findings:During a review of Resident 122's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
Resident 122 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 122's
diagnoses included quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, usually due to a
spinal cord injury), acute respiratory failure (a life-threatening, sudden-onset condition where the lungs
cannot adequately oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide), and gastrostomy (a surgical opening
fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems).During a review of Resident 122's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment
tool), dated 1/29/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 122 had intact cognitive (thought process) skills for
daily decision-making. Resident 122 was dependent (helper does all the effort to complete the task while
resident does none) on mobility (ability to move freely and easily) with transfers and self-care abilities such
as eating, hygiene and dressing.During a review of Resident 122's Order Summary Report dated
11/26/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated Jevity 1.5 (a type of tube feeding brand) at 60 milliliter
per hour ([mL/hr], a volume flow rate unit of measurement commonly used to define the rate at which fluids
are given over a specific time) for 20 hours via (by) pump to provide 1200 mL or 1800 kilocalorie ([kcal],
measure nutritional energy) per day.During a review of Resident 122's Order Summary Report dated
2/2/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated to turn feeding pump on at 12:00 p.m. and to turn feeding
pump off at 8:00 a.m. the following day or when dose is completed. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at
12:06 p.m., of Resident 122 in his room, Resident 122 was awake and resting in bed. The tube feeding
machine with the tube feeding formula bottle was near the resident. The tube feeding machine was
connected to the resident, but the machine was off with about 1400 milli liters (mL - a unit of measure of
volume) of tube feeding left in the formula bottle.During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 3:30 p.m., in
Resident 122's room, Resident 122 was in bed. The tube feeding machine next to the resident was still
connected to the resident but the tube feeding machine was still off with about 1400 mL of tube feeding left
in the formula bottle. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 3:45 p.m., with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated the tube feeding machine was running around 10:00 a.m. today.
LVN 1 stated Resident 122 did not want the tube feeding to continue at that time, so LVN 1 turned the tube
feeding machine off and flushed Resident 122's tube feeding tube. LVN 1 stated if a resident refused the
tube feeding, the primary physician should have been notified. LVN 1 stated he did not notify Resident 122's
primary physician about Resident 122's refusal for tube-feeding. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:10
a.m., with Registered Dietician (RD), the RD stated Resident 122's order was for Jevity 1.5 at 60 mL/hr for
20 hours for total of 1200 mL and 1800 calories daily. The RD stated the nursing staff should report
Resident 122's refusal of tube feeding to the primary physician and/or the RD, and document that the
physician and the RD were made aware. The RD stated residents have the right to refuse, but stated the
RD needed to be made aware of the resident refusing the feeding so the RD can talk to the resident and
inform them of benefits of the feeding and the risks of not receiving the feeding such as weight loss, and
delay in recovery. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:33 p.m. with the Director of

behavior. LVN 4 stated the facility did not consider Resident 44's behavior of going into other residents'
rooms cleaning and fixing things as a problem behavior. LVN 4 stated that Resident 44's care plan should
have included monitoring this behavior of cleaning / fixing other resident's belongings. LVN 4 stated staff
should have been monitoring Residents 44 behavior and potentially prevented the altercation with Resident
96 on 2/11/2026 at 5:45 a.m During an interview on 2/11/2026 at 3:56 p.m. with Social Worker (SW) 1, SW
1 stated that all the closets must be locked because residents in this unit are confused and can grab
belongings from other residents since the residents wandering into other's rooms. SW 1 stated that CNAs
are aware that all the closets must be locked to prevent items from going missing. SW stated that the
altercation between Resident 44 and Resident 96 could have been avoided if the closet in Resident 96's
room was locked. During an record review of Resident 44's tiled Licensed Nursing Note dated on 2:05 p.m
indicated that Resident 44 came back from GACH, was assessed by treatment nurse and noted right
eyebrow skin tear with discoloration measuring 1 cm long by x 0.1 cm wide.During an interview on

reassured Resident 96 that it was water. LVN 2 stated she put Resident 44 back to bed and did not notice
whether the closet was unlocked. LVN 2 stated that she left Resident 44 and Resident 96 in the same room.
During a subsequent interview on 2/12/2026 at 7:15 a.m., with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated at approximately
around 5:00 a.m. while she was standing between rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], LVN 2 heard a loud noise,
turned around and found Resident 44 on the floor bleeding from her head. LVN 2 stated she separated
Resident 44 and Resident 96. LVN 2 stated Resident 96's closet remaining open was a major factor in the
altercation. LVN 2 stated Resident 96 pushed Resident 44, because Resident 44 went into her closet. LVN
2 stated it was preventable if Resident 96's closet would have been closed and locked. During an interview
on 02/12/2026 at 10:45 a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated that residents
must be free from physical abuse because they are frail and rely on staff for safety. The ADON explained

closets. During interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:48 p.m. with the Administrator(Admin), the Admin stated that
Resident 44 and Resident 96 should have been separated when the first altercation occurred regarding the
water on the floor. Admin stated that it could have been prevented since there is already a verbal altercation
prior before the physical altercation about the closet. Admin stated that this would be intentional for
Resident 96 since it was triggered with the water droppings on the floor prior to the closet incident. During a

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident
assessment tool) accurately reflects resident status for two of five sampled residents (Resident 73 and
Resident 99). This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate assessment of the resident's condition,
leading to inappropriate care planning,?monitoring?and interventions. Findings: A. During a record review
of Resident 73's admission record, it indicated Resident 73 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnoses of
bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of
depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a
progressive decline in mental abilities) and Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous
system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements). During a record review of
Resident73's Minimum Data set (MDS- resident assessment tool), dated 1/26/2026 , the MDS indicated
that Residents 73 cognition was impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 73's needs maximal assistance
(helper does more than half the effort) with showers, resident needs moderate assistance with toileting,
upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and with personal hygiene. During
an observation on 2/10/2026 at 8:50 a.m. in Resident 73's room, Resident 73 was lying in bed on her back

was not completed accurately. The assessment section P of the MDS titled, Restraints and Alarms
incorrectly addressing the question asking whether Resident 73 use bed rails in bed and padded side rails.
MDSNurse stated that bilateral side rail was not captured on the MDS because it is not considered a
restraint. During a Review of Resident 73's care plan initiated on 12/4/2024 titled Resident is low bed with
bilateral quarter rails in bed as enabler for bed mobility, repositioning and other ADLs. (not considered a
restraint). B. During a record review of Resident 99's admission record, the admission record indicated
Resident 99 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnoses dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental
abilities), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), and history of
falling. During a record review of Resident 99's MDS dated [DATE] , the MDS indicated that Resident's 99
cognition was impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 99 needs maximal assistance with toileting,
shower, lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. During an observation on 02/09/2026 at
9:49 a.m. in Resident 99's room, Resident 99 was lying in bed facing the door with bilateral siderails up.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the care plan and implement
nonpharmacological interventions (any healthcare intervention not involving medications) for pain for one of
eight sampled residents (Resident 20).This deficient practice had the potential to place the resident at risk
for ineffective pain management and untreated pain.Findings:During a review of Resident 20's admission
Record (Face Sheet), the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/15/2021 with
diagnoses including hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is
characterized by disturbances in thought) and low back pain.During a review of Resident 20's History and
Physical (H&P) dated 12/21/2025, the H&P indicated the resident did not have the capacity to understand
and make decisions.During a review of Resident 20's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment
tool), dated 11/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 20 had moderate cognitive (ability to think and
understand) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 20 was dependent on staff for toileting and bathing
and required maximal assistance with dressing and personal hygiene.During an interview on 2/11/2026 at
9:41 a.m. with Resident 20, Resident 20 stated pain medications sometimes help with the recurrent pain he
had in his right shoulder. Resident 20 stated he had never been offered anything besides pain medications
for the pain. Resident 20 stated a hot pack might help with the pain and he was interested in trying
alternative interventions.During a concurrent interview and record review on 02/11/2026 at 9:46 a.m. with
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, Resident 20's care plan titled Actual Pain: Right Shoulder Pain
indicated nonpharmacological interventions including hot pack, cold pack, massage and distraction. LVN 2
stated he had never offered Resident 20 a hot pack for pain because Resident 20 usually had a lidocaine
patch (a topical medication applied to the skin to relieve localized pain) on his right shoulder. LVN 2 stated
care plan interventions should have been followed to better manage Resident 20's pain. LVN 2 stated care
plans should have been followed to address Resident 20's pain. LVN 2 stated not implementing care plan
interventions places residents at risk for ineffective pain management and untreated pain.During a

bathing and required maximal assistance with dressing and personal hygiene.During an interview on
2/11/2026 at 9:41 a.m. with Resident 20, Resident 20 stated he had recurrent pain in his right shoulder and
his current pain level was a six out of ten on a numeric pain scale (self-report tool used to quantify pain
intensity utilizing a numeric scale of zero to ten, zero indicating no pain and ten as severe pain). Resident
20 stated he had pain in right shoulder in the morning and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 administered
pain medication to treat the pain. Resident 20 stated pain remained unrelieved after taking pain
medication.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/11/2026 at 9:46 a.m. with Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, Resident 20's Pain Level Summary, dated 2/11/2026 was reviewed. Resident
20's Pain Level Summary indicated, pain level on 2/11/2026 at 8:45 a.m. was zero out of ten on a numeric
scale. LVN 2 stated when he assessed Resident 20's pain level, Resident 20 yelled he was in pain but
refused to state his pain level on a numeric scale. LVN 2 stated he administered Resident 20's scheduled
pain medication, but documented pain level as zero out of ten. LVN 2 stated his documentation of Resident
20's pain of zero out of ten was inaccurate and he should have assessed Resident 20's pain using
behavioral signs of pain (observable non-verbal actions that indicate distress such as facial grimacing,
moaning, irritability). LVN 2 stated inaccurate pain assessments place residents at risk of prolonged
discomfort and untreated pain.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:20 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated licensed nurses are expected to assess the pain of residents each shift and as
needed. The DON stated when residents are unable to verbalize pain level using a numeric scale, licensed
nurses should assess residents' behavioral signs of pain. The DON stated not assessing residents'
behavioral signs of pain places residents at risk of inaccurate pain assessments. The DON stated
inaccurate pain assessments place residents at risk for untreated pain.During a review of facility policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Pain Assessment and Management dated March 2020, the P&P indicated,
Recognizing pain: Observe the resident (during rest and movement) for physiologic and behavioral
(non-verbal) signs of pain .Document the resident's reported level of pain with adequate detail (i.e., enough
information to gauge the status of pain and the effectiveness of interventions for pain) as necessary and in

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 ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 15) received Restorative Nursing Assistant ([RNA], a certified nursing assistant who works with
patients in skilled nursing facilities to help them regain their ability to perform daily tasks) services ordered
for the resident.This deficient practice had the potential to negatively have a decline in range of motion and
mobility leading to contractures. Findings:During a review of Resident 15's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 15 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on
[DATE]. Resident 15's diagnoses including schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by
disturbances in thought), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and diabetes mellitus
([DM]-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).During a review

process) skills. The MDS indicated Resident 15 was dependent (helper does all of the effort, resident does
none of the effort to complete the activity) with self-care abilities such as eating, hygiene, and dressing. The
MDS indicated Resident 15 was dependent with mobility abilities such as sitting to lying position, and
transfers. During a review of Resident 15's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated
an order dated 1/14/2025 RNA to perform passive range of motion ([PROM], a movement of a joint through
its available range by an external force without the patient using their own muscles) to bilateral lower
extremities ([BLE], both legs) every day five times a week or as tolerated. The Order Summary Report
indicated an order dated 10/10/2024 RNA to perform PROM to bilateral upper extremities ([BUE], both
arms) every day five times a week or as tolerated. The Order Summary Report indicated an order dated
10/10/2024 RNA to apply soft hand rolls (soft, cushioned, or inflatable orthotic devices designed to manage
hand dysfunction, specifically finger flexion contractures) to bilateral hands up to four hours every day five
times a week or as tolerated. During a review of Resident 15's Documentation Survey Report for December
2025, the Documentation Survey Report for December 2025 indicated RNA to perform PROM to BLE every
day, five times a week or as tolerated was completed five days a week but there was documentation of NA
on 12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025. The Documentation Survey Report for December 2025 indicated RNA to
perform PROM to BUE every day five times a week or as tolerated was completed five days a week but
there was documentation of NA on 12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025. The Documentation Survey Report for
December 2025 indicated that RNA to apply soft hand rolls to bilateral hands up to four hours every day

with Resident 15 in his room, Resident 15 was resting on his left side and turned to his back when surveyor
greeted Resident 15. Resident 15 stated he can't use his hands which also meant he (Resident 15) was not
able to use his wheelchair as before. Resident 15 stated he was not getting any physical therapy right now
and was not sure about getting any RNA services.During a concurrent interview with record review on
2/12/2025 at 12:13 p.m. with RNA 1, the Documentation Survey Report for December 2025 was reviewed.

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents, who were identified at risk for
fall, did not fall and sustained injury for one of three sample residents (Resident 8 and Resident 44). The
facility failed to: 1. Ensure Change of Condition (COC- a sudden clinically important deviation from a
patient's baseline in physical, cognitive, behavioral, or functional condition), care plan, Interdisciplinary
Team (IDT team members from different departments working together with a common purpose to set
goals and make decisions ensure residents receive the best care), Medical Doctor (MD) notification was
initiated for Resident 8 after Rehabilitation staff (group of healthcare professionals who work together with a
patient and their family to achieve maximum physical, cognitive, and functional independence) initiated a
post fall assessment (evaluation performed by staff to check for injuries and identify the cause of a fall)
dated 12/3/2025 .2.Ensure the licensed nurses evaluated the effectiveness of interventions of Residents 8's
care plan titled, Resident has impaired vision related to Cataract (the lens of the eye becomes
progressively opaque, resulting in blurred vision) initiated on 7/15/2024, after Resident 8 fell on 9/29/25, to
develop new interventions to prevent the resident's fall on 12/3/2025 with injuries. 3. Ensure staff followed
the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised 3/2018 the P &P
indicated, If the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to
continue or change current interventions. 4. Ensure Resident 8 who was visual impaired (restricted vision,
partial or complete blindness) was supervised and assisted to the bathroom (staff member actively
monitoring a person during the process of using the restroom ) as indicated in the minimum data set (MDS)
assessment. These failures resulted in: Resident 8 falling while in the restroom on 12/3/2025 around 1:30

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the tube feeding (a method of
delivering liquid nutrients, fluids, and medications directly into the stomach or small intestine via a flexible
tube) machine was on and functioning properly to administer the feeding for one of three sample residents
(Resident 5) when the tube feeding machine was on but not administering the feeding to Resident 5 for
over three hours.This deficient practice placed Resident 5 at risk for weight loss and nutritional deficit.
Findings:During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 5
was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 5's diagnoses included
acute respiratory failure (a life-threatening, sudden-onset condition where the lungs cannot adequately
oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide), gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to
allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems)
and persistent vegetative state (a disorder of consciousness following severe brain injury where the patient
is awake but completely unaware of themselves or their environment).During a review of Resident 5's
Minimum Data Set (MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 12/22/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5
was rarely/never understood. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was dependent (helper does all the effort to
complete the task while resident does none) on mobility (ability to move freely and easily) with transfers
and self-care abilities such as eating, hygiene and dressing.During a review of Resident 5's Order
Summary Report dated 2/9/2026, the Order Summary Report indicated Jevity 1.5 (a type of tube feeding
brand) at 60 milliliter per hour (mL/hr, a units of measurement used to calculate how much fluids an
individual receives) for 20 hours via (by) pump to provide 1200 milliliter (mL, unit of measurement) or 1800
kcal (measure nutritional energy) per day, start enteral feeding at 12:00 p.m. and stop at 8:00 a.m.During a
review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report dated 12/4/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated turn
pump on at 12 p.m. and turn off at 8 a.m. the following day or until dose is completed.During an observation
on 2/9/2026 at 11:06 a.m., in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was resting in bed with eyes closed. The tube
feeding machine with the tube feeding formula bottle was near the resident. The tube feeding tubing was
connected to the resident but was not on. The formula bottle was full at 1500 mL of formula in the
bottle.During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 3:16 p.m., in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was lying in bed.
The tube feeding machine next to the resident was connected to the resident and the machine was on but
the feeding in the tube was not moving into the resident. The tube feeding machine was on but the tube
feeding machine was not moving the tube feeding formula into Resident 5's abdomen for feedings. During a
concurrent observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 3:38 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 in
Resident 5's room, LVN 1 stated LVN 1 turned on the tube feeding at 12:00 p.m. today. LVN 1 stated there
was about 1500 mL left in formula bottle. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 does not know why the tube feeding was not
infusing the feedings into Resident 5 and started to troubleshoot the cause of the delay. LVN 1 was able to
start the tube feeding after troubleshooting the machine and tube feeding formula started moving along the
tube into the resident. During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:10 a.m., with Registered Dietician (RD), the
RD stated Resident 5's order was for Jevity 1.5 @ 60 mL/hr for 20 hours. The RD stated Resident 5 was in
a vegetative state (a person is awake but not aware of themselves or their surroundings because the
thinking part of their brain is severely damaged) and unable to communicate his needs. The RD stated if the
tube feeding was started at 12:00 p.m. and at 3:38 p.m. and there was still 1500 mL of formula feeding in
the bottle, it means that Resident 5 did not receive any tube feeding.

The RD stated negative outcome of not receiving the tube feeding was potential weight loss, and the
resident's recovery would be affected.During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 1:33 p.m., with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated the tube feeding was not given to the resident if the tube feeding was
started at 12:00 p.m., and formula bottle was still full at 1500 mL at 3:38 p.m. on same day. The DON stated
that it was over three hours of no tube feeding given. The DON stated she would expect the formula bottle
to be less than full if the tube feeding was started at 12:00 p.m. and by 3:38 p.m., the formula bottle would
reflect amount given since the time it started. The DON stated it was the expectation for the nursing staff to
assess the resident, make a change in condition assessment, notify primary physician, and start the tube
feeding right away. The DON stated the negative outcome of residents not receiving the tube feeding as
ordered was weight loss, skin issues can develop or become worse, and the residents were not getting the
nutrients needed.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Enteral Nutrition, revised
November 2018, indicated adequate nutritional support through enteral nutrition is provided to residents as
ordered. some examples of potential benefits of using a feeding tube include addressing malnutrition and
dehydration; and promoting wound healing. the nursing staff and provider monitor the resident for signs and
symptoms of inadequate nutrition, altered hydration, hypo- or hyperglycemia, and altered electrolytes. The
nursing staff and provider also monitor the residents for worsening of conditions that place the residents at
risk for the above.During a review of the facility's P&P titled Enteral Feedings-Safety Precautions, revised
November 2018, indicated to ensure the safe administration of enteral nutrition. all personnel responsible
for preparing, storing and administering enteral nutrition formulas will be trained, qualified and competent in
his or her responsibilities.

was receiving hemodialysis (dialysis, a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially
through a machine when the kidney(s) have failed) :Physician orders for specific fluid allowed in 24 hours
were placed.Fluid intake was being measured.These deficient practices had the potential to place residents
at risk for fluid retention and overload.Findings:a. During a review of Resident 9's admission Record (Face
Sheet), the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/1/2022 and was readmitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses including end stage renal disease (ESRD-irreversible kidney failure), diabetes
mellitus (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in
breathing).During a review of Resident 9's History and Physical (H&P) dated 3/3/2025, the H&P indicated
the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 9's Minimum

interview, and record review, the facility failed to Identify and to intervene in two of three sampled residents
(Resident 17 and Resident 156)' history of trauma and triggers which may cause re-traumatization (a
person encounters a new event or stimulus that triggers them to re-experience the intense stress,
emotional distress, and even flashbacks of a previous traumatic event as if it were happening again) as
evidenced by:A. Failing to assess and identify the trauma and triggers for Resident 17 related to
natural/human caused disaster.B. Failing to assess and identify the trauma and triggers for Resident 156
related to homelessness. This failure had the potential to result in Resident 17 and Resident 156
experiencing re-traumatization and further psychosocial decline.Findings:A. During a review of Resident
17's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 17 was admitted initially to the facility on
[DATE] and last readmission was on [DATE] with diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD
- a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event),
schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought), and dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities).During a review of Resident 17's History and Physical
(H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated, Resident 17 was able to make decisions for activities of daily
living.During a review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated [DATE],
the MDS indicated Resident 17 required supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues
and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) from one staff for
hygiene, bed mobility, transfer, dressing, bathing, and eating.During a concurrent interview and record
review on [DATE], at 9:48 a.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1, Resident 17's Care Plan Report
(CPR) titled, Trauma Informed Care: ineffective coping related to past traumatic incident -Large scale
natural and/or human caused disaster survivor, and adjusting to new place, revised on [DATE] was
reviewed. The CPR Goal indicated, Resident 17 will have reduced episodes of behavior daily until [DATE].
The CPR Interventions indicated, implement useful interventions to reduce stress, monitor behavior
episodes, and provide a safe environment and atmosphere of acceptance. RNS 1 stated, Resident 17's
CPR did not indicate what the nature of the trauma was and what triggers Resident 17 had. RNS 1 stated,
the CPR interventions were not individualized without identifying what might trigger Resident 17 to
experience re-traumatization. RNS 1 stated, it was important to identify the triggers and implement
interventions that were individualized according to Resident 17's needs to prevent re-traumatization.During
a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE], at 10:41 a.m., with Social Service Assistant (SSA) 1,
Resident 17's Trauma Care Evaluation (TCE), dated [DATE] was reviewed. The TCE was done and signed
by SSA 1. The TCE indicated, there was no trauma and triggers identified. SSA 1 stated, the staff should
have assessed and identified the triggers of PTSD and the severity of possible re-traumatization from the
triggers to prevent recurrent events. SSA 1 stated, she could not get much information regarding trauma
and its triggers from Resident 17. SSA 1 stated, she should have contacted Resident 17's psychiatrist (a
medical practitioner specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness) and public guardian (a
court-appointed public official or agency that acts as the legally authorized guardian or conservator for
individuals unable to care for themselves or manage their own finances, usually due to physical or mental
disability) to obtain information regarding his PTSD.B. During a review of Resident 156's admission record,

review of the Resident 156's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated [DATE], the OSR indicated, give
Melatonin (medication to help with sleep) 3 milligram (mg) 2 tablets by mouth at bedtime was ordered on
[DATE].During an interview on [DATE], at 11:03 a.m., with Resident 156 in his room, Resident 156 stated,
he was diagnosed with PTSD. Resident 156 stated, while he was homeless and someone attacked him
suddenly. Resident 156 stated, he was left unconscious and was treated at General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH). Resident 156 stated, when someone gets close to him without letting him know first, he gets
retraumatized. Resident 156 stated, one of the night nurses came in and fixed his blanket, and it triggered
him a few weeks ago. Resident 156 stated, he was having difficulty with sleeping and having nightmares
since that incident and has had to take a sleeping pill.During a concurrent interview and record review on
[DATE], at 9:53 a.m., with RNS 1, Resident 156's Care Plan Report (CPR) titled, Trauma Informed Care:
ineffective coping related to past traumatic incident diagnosis of PTSD, revised on [DATE] was reviewed.

not person centered and there was no individualized and specific interventions.During a concurrent
interview and record review on [DATE], at 10:48 a.m., with SSA1, Resident 156's Trauma Care Evaluation
(TCE), dated [DATE] was reviewed. The TCE was done and signed by SSA 1. The TCE indicated, there was
no trauma and triggers identified. SSA 1 stated, completing the trauma assessment was important,
because the resident's care would be different according to the needs from the assessment. SSA 1 stated,
she would refer the resident to proper services according to the trauma assessment to prevent
re-traumatization. SSA 1 stated, Resident 156's care plan was not person centered because there was no
assessment done for the trauma.During an interview on [DATE], at 2:09 p.m., with the DON, the DON
stated, when Resident 156 who has PTSD as a diagnosis was admitted to the facility, Resident 156 should
be assessed for its triggers, and past history to prevent re-traumatization. The DON stated, the care plan
could not be resident centered, and resident focused if the trauma assessment was not done correctly. The
DON stated, the facility has many residents who were veterans. The DON stated, staff should have
assessed the residents' PTSD and made the plan of care according to the findings. The DON stated
re-traumatization would harm Residents' psychosocial well-being.During a review of the facility's Policy and
Procedure (P&P) titled, Trauma Informed and Culturally Competent Care, revised on 8/2022, the P&P
indicated, Purpose: To guide staff in providing care that is culturally competent and trauma-informed in
accordance with professional standards of practice. To address the needs of trauma survivors by minimizing
triggers and/or re-traumatization. Preparation: 2. Nursing staff are trained on trauma screening and
assessment tools. 3. All staff are guided in evidence-based organizational and interpersonal strategies that
support trauma-informed and culturally competent care. 4. All staff receive orientation and in-service
training regarding cultural competency as an aspect of resident centered care . 3. For trauma survivors, the
transition to living in an institutional setting (and the associated loss of independence) can trigger profound
re-traumatization. 4. Triggers are highly individualized. Some common triggers may include a. experiencing
a lack of privacy or confinement in a crowded or small space, b. exposure to loud noises, or bright/flashing
lights; c. certain sights, such as objects; and/or d.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of five sample residents (Resident
73 and Resident 99): Obtained consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after
receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) that explains the risk and
benefits of bed rails (are adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed) with the resident
representative prior to installation. was offered other alternative attempts prior to installing side rails. These
failures had the potential to result in compromised resident safety associated with unassessed bed rail use.
Findings: A.)During a record review of Resident 73's admission record indicated Resident 73 was admitted
on [DATE] with a diagnoses of bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings
that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), Alzheimer's disease (a
disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and Parkinson's disease (a progressive
disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements).
During a record review of Resident73's Minimum Data set (MDS- resident assessment tool), dated
1/26/2026 indicated that Residents cognitive was impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 73's needs
maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort)with showers, resident needs moderate
assistance with toileting, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear and with
personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 73's admission orders dated 11/18/2025 indicated Support &
Safety Device Low bed with bilateral quarter rails in bed as an enabler for bed mobility, repositioning and
other Activities of daily living (ADL's) (not considered a restraint- any manual method, physical or
mechanical device, equipment, or material that cannot be removed easily by the resident). Padded siderails
to decrease potential injury. During an observation on 2/10/2026 at 8:50 a.m. in Resident 73's room,
Resident 73 was lying in bed on her back with bilateral side rails up. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 2/9/2026 at 11:56 a.m. in Residents 73's room with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 3), LVN 3
stated that Resident 73 should not have bilateral padded side rails because Resident 73 does not have a
diagnosis of seizures. LVN 3 stated that usually bilateral side rails are implemented for residents with
seizures for safety reasons. LVN 3 stated that the bilateral padded siderails should be removed for Resident
73. During a review of Interdisciplinary team (IDT- a group of health care professionals with various areas of
expertise who work together toward the goals of their resident) - Madwords assessment dated [DATE]
indicated that no physical restraints used and recommended at this time. The assessment did not indicate
that bilateral rails were in use for support and safety. The IDT note did not indicate that alternative attempts
were used prior to installing bilateral rails. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/10/2026 at
1:09 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN 1), RN 1 stated that Resident 73 informed consent is incomplete
because it is missing padded bilateral quarter rails and the consent was not verified by a second licensed
nurse since it was obtained via telephone. RN 1 stated that it is important to include the complete physician
order on the consent and for a second nurse to verify the consent for it to be accurate and valid before
initiating the side rails. During an interview and record review on 2/12/2026 at 10:45 a.m. with Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON), ADON stated that alternative attempts were not implemented to Resident 73
prior to installing the bilateral rails because it was not documented in the side rail assessment dated [DATE]
or on IDT note dated 11/24/2025. ADON stated that it was important to use alternatives before installing

review of Resident 99's admission record indicated Resident 99 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnoses
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is
characterized by disturbances in thought), and history of falling. During a record review of Resident 99's
MDS dated [DATE] indicated that residents cognitive was impaired. The MDS indicated that Resident 99
needs maximal assistance with toileting, shower, lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear.
During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 9:49 a.m. in Resident 99's room, Resident 99 was lying in bed facing
the door with bilateral side rails up and call light within reach. During an interview and record review on
2/11/2026 at 12:45 p.m. with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated that Resident 99 has a low bed with bilateral quarter rails
for mobility. LVN 4 mentioned that staff must obtain consent, implement alternative interventions, and
complete an assessment before installing side rails LVN 4 stated that Resident 99's consent form was
incomplete because it lacked the date and nurse's signature. LVN 4 emphasized the importance of
obtaining a second nurse's signature to verify accuracy. The side rail assessment dated [DATE] indicated
that staff implemented visual monitoring before installing the side rails. During an interview, Maintenance
Staff 1 (MS 1) said he was responsible for measuring bed rails for Resident 99. The side rail/entrapment
assessment(a safety check to make sure a person (usually a patient or resident) cannot get stuck or caught
in dangerous gaps between their bed, mattress, and side rails from 11/24/2025 showed all zones were
within guidelines (less than 4 3/4 inches). However, MS 1 admitted he did not measure all zones because
he was unsure of their locations. MS 1 mentioned the measurements focus on gaps between the rail and
mattress to prevent resident's hands from getting stuck. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure titled, Bed Safety and Bed Rails dated 8/2022 indicated the use of bed rails or side rails is
prohibited unless the criteria for bed rails have been met, including attempts to use alternatives,
interdisciplinary evaluation, resident assessment and informed consent. During a review of the facility's
policy and procedure titled, Informed Consent dated 12/2024 indicated that a licensed nurse will verify the
informed consent information and sign it to confirm its accuracy and completeness.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store two unopened Humalog insulin pens (a
medication used to treat high blood sugar) in the refrigerator per the manufacturer's requirements affecting
Residents 160 and 207 in one of five inspected medication carts (Station 3 Cart A.)The deficient practices
of failing to store unopened insulin pens in the refrigerator per the manufacturer's requirements increased
the risk that Residents 160 and 207 could have received medication that had become ineffective or toxic
due to improper storage possibly leading to health complications resulting in hospitalization or
death.Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on [DATE] at 1:25 PM of Station 3
Medication Cart A with the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 5), the following medications were found either
expired, stored in a manner contrary to their respective manufacturer's requirements, or not labeled with an
open date as required by their respective manufacturer's specifications:Two unopened Humalog insulin
pens were found stored in the medication cart at room temperature. According to the product labeling,
unopened Humalog insulin pens should be stored in the refrigerator. During a concurrent interview, LVN 5
stated the Humalog insulin pens for Residents 160 and 270 are stored at room temperature and not labeled
with an open date. LVN 5 stated unopened insulin should be stored in the refrigerator because once stored
at room temperature it is only good for 28 days. LVN 5 stated if insulin in the medication cart does not have
an open date on it, we won't be able to know accurately when it expires. LVN 5 stated giving expired insulin
to residents could cause poor blood sugar control possibly leading to medical complications.A review of the
facility's policy titled Storage of Medications, revised [DATE], indicated Medications and biologicals are
stored safely, securely, and properly, following manufacturer's recommendations or those of the supplier.

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 food safety, sanitary food
storage and food preparation practices.These failures have the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth
and cross contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to food
borne illness (a disease caused by consuming food or drinks that are contaminated by germs or chemicals)
for the residents.Findings:During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 8:45 a.m. in the kitchen with the Dietary
Services Supervisor (DSS), In Refrigerator 2 there were two open corn tortilla packages on the top shelf.
One corn tortilla package with an open date of 2/7/2026 was in its original plastic packaging and
open-to-air. One open corn tortilla package was stored in plastic wrap with no open date.During an
observation on 2/9/2026 at 9:13 a.m. in the kitchen with the DSS, In the dry storage room there was one
dented pineapple can on the same shelf as non-dented food cans. One open dried tri-colored pasta was
stored in its original packaging and open-to-air.During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026
at 8:27 a.m. with the DSS in the kitchen, there was a black trash bin with a broken lid that did not close.
There was a brown trash bin with no lid in the handwashing area. The DSS stated the trash bins were
actively used by kitchen staff. The DSS stated uncovered trash cans are not sanitary because they attract
pests by providing readily accessible food.During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 8:40 a.m. with the DSS, the
DSS stated a can is dented if the surface or seam of the body is not smooth. The DSS stated there is a
separate area to store dented cans to prevent kitchen staff from using them. The DSS stated dented
canned foods pose a risk for botulism (a serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves)
because air and moisture can enter the container, allowing bacteria to grow and spoil the food.During a
concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 8:51 a.m. with the DSS in the kitchen, there were
three cutting boards (yellow, blue, and brown) with visible cut marks. The DSS stated that cutting boards
with visible cut marks and scratches should be replaced. The DSS stated harmful bacteria can grow in the
grooves of scratched cutting boards and can cause cross contamination when food product is placed on
the cutting board.During an interview on 2/10/2026 at 9:01 a.m. with the DSS, DSS stated open refrigerated
food products should be labeled with an open date and stored in a covered container to limit exposure to
contaminants. DSS stated open dates prevent staff from using potentially expired food items that can be
unsafe for residents to eat. The DSS stated pests can infest open dry goods that are not properly stored.
The DSS stated residents could potentially get foodborne illness from contaminated food.During a
concurrent observation and interview on 2/10/2026 at 9:32 a.m. with the DSS in the kitchen, four wet pans
were stacked on top of each other. The DSS stated pots and pans should be completely air-dried before
stacking them and putting them away. The DSS stated wet nesting (when wet dishes, utensils, or cookware
are stacked, trapping moisture and creating ideal conditions for bacteria to grow) can occur.During a review
of the facility's Dry Goods Storage Guidelines, dated 2018, the recommended storage length for opened
refrigerated corn tortillas is one week.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Dating and Labeling, undated, the P&P indicated, loose food items should be placed in containers or bins.
The P&P indicated, containers or bins will be dated, labeled, and covered. The P&P indicated, food items
should have an open date.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Storage of Canned and Dry Goods,

brown boxes and trash bags filled with used personal protective equipment (PPE, clothing and equipment
that is worn or used to provide protection against hazardous substances and/or environments) overflowing
from the three trash dumpsters onto the lid of two trash bins.During a concurrent observation and interview
on 2/10/2026 at 8:20 a.m. in the outdoor garbage area, with the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS), two of
three trash dumpster lids were not completely closed. DSS stated trash dumpsters should not be overfilled.
DSS stated garbage containers should be kept closed when not in use to prevent pests from getting inside.
DSS stated residents could get sick from diseases that pests spread.During a review of the facility's policy
and procedure (P&P) titled, Waste Control and Disposal, undated, the P&P indicated, Outside garbage bin
should be kept closed at all times and surrounding areas must be kept clean. Dispose garbage in a timely

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 18) who
was under hospice care (compassionate care for people who are near the end of life provided at the
person's home or within a health care facility) was visited by hospice licensed nurses weekly per hospice
care agreement.This failure had the potential to result in Resident 18 not having their hospice needs met,
as they agreed upon.Findings:During a review of Resident 18's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated, Resident 18 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last re-admission was on
10/3/2025 with diagnoses including senile degeneration of brain (a neurological disorder that is tied to
cognitive decline, memory impairment, and changes in behavior), bipolar disorder (sometimes called
manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of
emotional highs), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), and encephalopathy (a
disturbance of brain function).During a review of Resident 18's History and Physical H&P, dated 10/4/2025,
the H&P indicated, Resident did not have the capacity (ability) to understand and make decisions.During a
review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 1/19/2026, the MDS
indicated Resident 18 was dependent on staff and required assistance (Helper does all of the effort) from
two or more staff for eating, hygiene, shower/bath, dressing, bed mobility, and transfer.During a concurrent
interview and record review on 2/11/2026, at 9:59 a.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS)1,
Resident 18's Patient Calendar, dated 2/2026 was reviewed. The Patient Calendar indicated, there was no
initial on 2/10/2026 for Hospice Registered Nurse (RN). RNS 1 stated, the hospice RN should have put her
initials when she came to see Resident 18 and documented assessment in communication note. RNS 1
stated, there was no sign-in sheet for the hospice staff. RNS 1 stated, RN or Licensed Nurses should have
visited Resident 18 once a week (every Tuesday) per hospice agreement. RNS 1 stated, the facility staff did
not follow up with the hospice staff, regarding the missing visit on 2/10/2026. RNS 1 stated, Hospice nurses
visits should be done weekly according to the hospice agreement, and Resident 18 would not receive
specialty care and assessment if the hospice nurses' visits were not ensured as agreed. During an
interview on 2/12/2026, at 2:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the staff should
have followed up with weekly hospice licensed nurses' visit to ensure Resident 18 received the care agreed
upon. The DON stated, the facility staff had the responsibility for ensuring Resident 18 who was under
hospice care received the best care, especially specialty care such as hospice assessment and palliative
care (a medicine or form of medical care that relieves symptoms without dealing with the cause of the
condition) as agreed.During a review of Resident 18's Hospice Communication Update, dated from 1/2026
to 2/2026, the Hospice Communication Update indicated, there was no assessment and documentation on

Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 186's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 186 was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and last re-admission was on 4/2/2025 with dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities), seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness), Diabetes Mellitus
(DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and paranoid
schizophrenia (a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by distorted thinking and awareness).
During a review of Resident 186's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/7/2025, the H&P indicated,
Resident 186 had no capacity (ability) to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 186's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 11/14/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 186 required dependent assistance (Helper does all of the effort) from two or
more staff for shower/bath, maximal assistance ( Helper does more than half the effort) from one staff for
hygiene, dressing, bed mobility, transfer, and supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal
cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) from one
staff for eating.
During an observation on 2/11/2026, at 11:01 a.m., in a hallway near Resident 182's room, CNA 2 was
walking toward Resident 182's room with a light brown hoodie and a white sweatshirt in her hands. CNA 2
dropped the light brown hoodie on the hallway floor near Resident 182's room. CNA 2 picked up the brown
hoodie from the floor and went inside Resident 182's room. CNA 2 came out of Resident 182's room
without any clothes in her hands.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/11/2026, at 11:06 a.m., with CNA 2 in Resident 182's
room, CNA 2 opened Resident 182's closet door, the light brown hoodie that CNA 2 dropped on the hallway
floor and picked up was hanging right next to Resident 182's clean clothes. CNA 2 stated, she should have
put the light brown hoodie in the dirty linen hamper or took it back to the laundry for rewashing instead of
placing it in the closet next to the clean clothes. CNA 2 stated, the hoodie got contaminated when she
dropped it on the floor. CNA 2 stated, she had to take all of Resident 182's clothes from the closet to wash
to prevent cross contamination (the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person,
object or place to another).
