Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to put Resident 1's health and safety at risk. Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted with multiple diagnoses including encephalopathy (brain function is impaired), and pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs) due to pseudomonas (group of bacteria commonly found in soil and water).

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 follow and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program for 1 of 8 sampled residents (Resident 3) when Resident 3's nasal cannula (a small plastic tube, which fits into the person's nostrils for providing supplemental oxygen) was observed on the side of the bed, uncovered and undated when not in use. Residents Affected - Few This failure increased the risk for cross-contamination (movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to another). Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 3 was initially admitted [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including congestive heart failure (a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently) and diagnosed early this year with acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (lungs unable to adequately exchange oxygen, leading to low level of oxygen in the blood). A review of Resident 3's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) dated 1/23/25 indicated resident was cognitively intact. A review of Resident 3's physician order dated 11/25/24 indicated, Oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 Liters/minute if oxygen saturation (used to assess effectiveness of oxygen therapy) less than 90% or for shortness of breath. A concurrent observation and interview was conducted on 2/20/25 at 10:44 a.m., inside Resident 3's room. The nasal cannula attached to an oxygen tubing was in between the side rail and the mattress. Resident 3 stated he was using oxygen once in a while and he had used oxygen 2 days ago. Resident 3 stated the nasal cannula should be in a clear bag. A concurrent observation and interview was conducted on 2/20/25 at 11:03 a.m. with the Licensed Nurse (LN) inside Resident 3's room. The LN confirmed Resident 3's nasal cannula was on the side of the bed. The LN stated the nasal cannula should be in a plastic bag to prevent contamination. The LN further stated the oxygen tubing was changed every week by night shift. The LN was unable to locate the date on the tubing. In an interview on 2/20/25 at 3 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated her expectation was for the nasal cannula to be dated and placed in a plastic bag when not in use. The DON further stated this was a potential for infections. A review of the facility's policy & procedure effective 11/15/2023 and titled, Respiratory Therapy Prevention of Infection indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to guide prevention of infection associated with respiratory therapy tasks and equipment .among residents and staff .Change the oxygen cannulae and tubing every seven (7) days, or as needed .Keep the oxygen cannulae and tubing used PRN [as needed] in a plastic bag when not in use.

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 call light (a device used by a resident to signal the need for help) was accessible for 1 of 8 sampled residents (Resident 2) when Resident 2 was not physically able to use the call light provided when it was out of reach. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in unmet resident needs and delayed staff response. Findings: A review of the admission record indicated Resident 2 was admitted [DATE] with multiple diagnoses including encounter for orthopedic aftercare following surgical amputation (a procedure to remove a body part) and acquired absence of left foot (loss due to surgery). A review of Resident 2's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) score of 9 out of 15 indicated Resident 2 had moderate cognitive impairment. Resident 2's functional abilities dated 1/7/25 indicated he required both substantial/maximal assistance (staff does more than half of the effort for mobility needs) and partial/moderate assistance (staff provides less than half of the effort for mobility needs).

Resident 2 stated when he needs help he press the call button. Resident 2 further stated, it's around here, someplace and he had been looking for it for 2-3 days.

In a follow-up interview on 2/20/25 at 3:02 p.m., the DON stated her expectation was for call lights to be placed within reach at all times when resident is in the room. The DON confirmed Resident 2 will not be able to reach the call light when it was on the floor. A review of the facility's policy and procedure revised 12/2023 and titled, CALL LIGHT ANSWERING indicated, It is the policy of this facility to provide the resident a means of communication with nursing staff .Place the call device within resident's reach before leaving the room .The nursing staff (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056098 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 5 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 056098 B.
