F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of 169 residents (nonsampled Resident 17) was provided care in a manner that promoted dignity and respect. * The facility failed to provide Resident 17 with privacy during bedside toileting. This failure had the potential for the resident to experience a decline in her psychosocial well-being. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Dignity revised February 2021 showed the staff will maintain and protect resident privacy during personal cares. Medical record review for Resident 17 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 17 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated 2/4/21, for the resident to use a bedside commode. On 8/21/25 at 0928 hours, Resident 17 was observed being transferred to a bedside commode by CNA 1. Resident 17's privacy curtain was pulled closed but the basin, which was under the resident's commode and approximately six inches above the commode, was observed from the hallway due to the gap between the privacy curtain and the floor. CNA 1 was heard asking the resident if she wanted her room door closed, and the resident declined. On 8/21/25 at 0947 hours, Resident 17 was still observed sitting on the commode. The commode basin was still observed on the floor, where contents going into the commode could potentially be observed from the hallway. On 8/21/25 at 1004 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 17 just had a bowel movement while on the commode. On 8/21/25 at 1007 hours, an interview was conducted with Resident 17, who was now sitting in her wheelchair. Resident 17 stated she was not aware her commode basin was visible from the hallway, even with the privacy curtain pulled closed. The resident stated she just assumed the privacy curtain hid everything, and preferred her commode basin not be visible from the hallway during use. On 8/21/25 at 1048 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 17's bedside commode was an over-the-toilet commode, and did not have place to attach a basin. CNA 1 stated she realized the resident's commode basin was viewable from the hallway under the privacy curtain, when the resident wanted her door to remain open. When asked if there was anything to block the view of the resident's commode basin during use, the CNA stated she did not think so. When asked about the trash receptacle located in the room, the CNA tested it by moving a trash receptacle next to the privacy curtain. CNA 1 verified the trash receptacle extended above the bottom of the privacy curtain and could have obstructed the view of the commode basin from the hallway. 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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.

On 8/19/25 at 1027 hours, Resident 158 was observed in bed. The bottle of Total Beets 650 mg medication was observed on Resident 158's bedside table. On 8/20/25 at 1107 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 158 was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated for the self- administration of the medications, the IDT determined if the resident could safely self-administer the medication. LVN 1 stated there should be a physician's order specific to the medication the resident would self-administer and a care plan developed for the self-administration of the medication. LVN 1 further stated the medication would be kept in the medication carts and for the independent residents, the medication could be kept in the resident's room, however it should be locked so the other residents could not get access to the medication. LVN 1 reviewed Resident 158's medical record and verified Resident 158 had no physician's order or a care plan for the self-administration of the Total Beets 650 mg medication. LVN 1 stated the medication should not be left at the bedside. On 8/20/25 at 1130 hours, a follow-up interview was conducted with LVN 1.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure two of five final sampled residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Residents 13 and 61) and one of one final sampled resident reviewed for behavioral-emotional management (Resident 133) were free from unnecessary psychotropic drugs. * Resident 13 did not have the monthly behavior summaries for the targeted behaviors for the Prozac (antidepressant) and divalproex sodium (an anticonvulsant medication also used for behaviors associated with bipolar disorder) medications. In addition, the facility failed to monitor the resident for orthostatic hypotension related to the resident's Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication) use when the resident was readmitted on [DATE]. * The facility failed to ensure the monthly behavioral summary was completed for Resident 61's Zyprexa medication. * Resident 133, who had a diagnosis of dementia, was prescribed Ativan (antianxiety medication and Seroquel (antipsychotic medication). For the Seroquel medication, there was no documented diagnosis, or diagnosis of bipolar disorder or psychosis prior to starting the routine Seroquel medication. Additionally, there was no informed consent obtained prior to starting the Seroquel medication. For the Ativan medication, there were no nonpharmacological interventions implemented during the administration of the PRN medication. For both the Ativan and Seroquel medications, there were no least restrictive measures attempted prior to the initiation of the medications, and no side effect monitoring or behavior monitoring was implemented upon the start of the medications. These failures had the potential to place the residents at risk of receiving unnecessary medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions.Findings: Review of the facility’s P&P titled Antipsychotic Medication Use revised 7/2022 showed the residents will not receive medications that are not clinically indicated to treat a specific condition. The attending physician and other staff will gather and document information to clarify a resident’s behavior, mood, function, medical condition, specific symptoms, and risks to the resident and others. The attending physician will identify, evaluate and document, with input from other disciplines and consultants as needed, symptoms that may warrant the use of antipsychotic medications. Diagnosis of a specific condition for which antipsychotic medications are necessary to treat will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the resident. For enduring psychiatric conditions, antipsychotic medications will not be used unless behavioral symptoms are not due to a medical condition or problem, persistent or likely to reoccur without continued treatment, not sufficiently relieved by non-pharmacological interventions, not due to environmental stressors, and not due to psychological stressors. The residents (and/or resident representatives) will be informed of the recommendation, risks, benefits, purpose and potential adverse consequences of antipsychotic medication use. The staff will observe, document, and report to the attending physician information regarding the effectiveness of any interventions, including antipsychotic medications. The nursing staff shall monitor for and report side effects and adverse consequences of antipsychotic medication to the attending physician. Review of the facility’s P&P titled Psychotropic Medication Use/Informed Consent dated 3/2024 showed consideration of the use of any psychotropic medication is based on comprehensive review of the resident. This includes evaluation of the resident’s signs and symptoms in order to identify underlying causes. The non-pharmacological approaches are used (unless contraindicated) to minimize the need for medications, permit the lowest possible dose, and allow for discontinuation of medications when possible. Before prescribing a psychotherapeutic drug, the prescriber must personally examine the resident and obtain written consent signed by the resident or the resident’s representative along with, the signature of the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056110 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 74 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 056110 B.

The facility failed to conduct an interview with the RN assigned to care for Resident 73, during the time in which the alleged incident occurred. Additionally, the facility failed to conduct an interview with the CNA assigned to the station, which Resident 73 resided in at the time of the allegation. * The facility failed to interview other residents residing in the facility to determine if other residents were potentially the victim of physical abuse. These failures potentially inhibited the facility's ability to determine if resident abuse occurred and posed the risk for further abuse. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Investigation and Reporting revised 7/2017 showed all reports of resident abuse shall be thoroughly investigated by facility management. The individual conducting the investigation will, at a minimum: Interview any witnesses to the incident, interview staff members (on all shifts) who have had contact with the resident during the period of the alleged incident. Interview other residents to whom the accused employee provides care or services. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator will record the results of the investigation on approved documentation forms and provide the completed documentation to the Administrator.

This failure had the potential for Resident 13 not receiving a Level II Mental Health Evaluation, which posed the risk for Resident 13 not receiving recommendations for specialized services that supplement nursing facility care to address resident mental health needs. Findings: Medical record review for Resident 13 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 13 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 13's MAR showed a physician's order dated 4/15/25, for Zyprexa (antipsychotic medication) 5 mg orally to be administered at bedtime for schizophrenia. Review of Resident 13's PASRR Level I Screening results dated 7/31/25, showed Resident 13 had no diagnosis of a serious mental illness. On 8/25/25 at 0847 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator was asked to describe the purpose of a PASRR Level 1 Screening. The MDS Coordinator stated the PASRR Level 1 screening functioned to screen and evaluate residents for serious mental illness. Additionally, the results of the PASRR Level 1 screening may necessitate a Level II Mental Health Evaluation be conducted, to determine if a resident could benefit from specialized mental health services.

Further review of the MAR showed the licensed nurse documented the administration of the oxycodone 15 mg medication to Resident 174 on 8/10/25 at 0859 hours (an hour and 31 minutes before the documented time of the removal of the medication on the Antibiotic or Controlled Drug Record). Residents Affected - Some On 8/21/25 at 1259 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 174 was conducted with the DON. The DON stated for the administration of the narcotic medications, the licensed nurses should document on the controlled drug record, the date, time, and licensed nurse’s initials upon removal of the narcotic medication. The DON stated after the licensed nurse completed the administration of the narcotic medication to the resident, the licensed nurse should document the administration of the medication in the resident’s MAR. The DON reviewed Resident 174’s medical record and verified the above findings. On 8/25/25 at 1044 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings. 2. Medical record review for Resident 169 was initiated on 8/19/25. Resident 169 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 169's Documentation Survey Report dated 8/19/25, showed the following: - On 7/8, 7/10, and 7/29/25, the RNA Active Range of Motion (AROM) for the right upper extremity (RUE) and left extremity, scheduled three times per week, was documented with code 97 (Not Applicable) for Resident 169. - On 7/2, 7/8, 7/10, and 7/29/25, the RNA Passive Range of Motion (PROM) for the left upper extremity, scheduled three times per week, was documented with code 97. - On 7/29/25, the RNA application of a resting hand splint to the left hand for 6 to 8 hours as tolerated, five times per week, was documented with code 97. On 8/19/25 at 1015 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review were conducted with RNA 1. When asked about the RNA documentation for Resident 169, RNA 1 stated he provided the following interventions to Resident 169: AROM for the right upper extremity, PROM for the left upper extremity, and application of a hand splint to the left hand. RNA 1 was asked about the use of code 97 in the documentation. RNA 1 stated that it was likely miscoded and should have been documented as code 98, indicating the resident refused the interventions. RNA 1 further explained the CNA documentation was marked as not applicable because the tasks were not within the CNA's scope. When the CNAs documented code 97, the RNA staff were unable to override or correct it. RNA 1 acknowledged this was an ongoing issue at the facility and verified the above findings. 3.

On 8/18/25 at 1226 hours, Resident 3 was observed sitting in a wheelchair with a disconnected GT feeding. The enteral feeding pump (GT machine) was turned off. On 8/19/25 at 1325 hours, Resident 3 was observed in bed with the GT connected, but the enteral feeding pump was turned off. On 8/19/25 at 1330 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 3’s enteral feeding pump was off because almost all the enteral GT feedings for the residents in the facility are started at 1400 hours. LVN 1 reviewed Resident 3’s enteral feeding orders and verified the order should have had a specified start time. On 8/20/25 at 1130 hours, an observation of Resident 3 and a concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 verified the GT feeding was still running for Resident 3. LVN 1 stated on the prior evening, new enteral feed orders were entered for Resident 3 adjusting the feeding rate. LVN 1 showed the new enteral feeding rate was set on the enteral feeding pump. LVN 1 stated the GT feeding was paused several times throughout the night, so the GT feeding would continue until dose was complete or change the bottle at 1400 hours and start the new GT feeding per the physician’s order. On 8/21/25 at 0934 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 3. RN 3 verified there was no start time specified in Resident 3’s enteral feeding order. RN 3 verified all the enteral feeding orders should have a start time. On 8/21/25 at 1002 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the DON. The DON verified there was no start time specified in Resident 3’s enteral feeding order. The DON verified Resident 3’s enteral feeding order was incorrect because it did not specify the start time.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to maintain the infection control program and practices to help prevent the development and transmission of diseases and infections. * The line listings for May and June 2025 which documented residents who received antibiotics and were listed as not meeting McGeer's Criteria were inaccurately reported during the Infection Control Committee meeting. In addition, a resident with an MDRO (Multidrug-Resistant Organism) infection was not accurately documented in the report. In addition, the facility failed to identify, track and monitor infections in the facility from January to April 2025. * There was no documented evidence of recommendations to address the high incidence of of E. Coli and proetues miraabilis. Additionally, the Infection Control Committee Minutes failed to show documented evidence of follow up post report of MDRO infections from May to July 2025. * The facility failed to discuss during the Infection Control Committee meeting about the June 2025 antibiogram and the correlation with the organism E. coli and the cases of UTIs in the facility, and failed to show documentation of protocols in place to attempt to decrease or address the MDRO infection rate in the facility. * There were brown stains in Resident 1's room. * The facility failed to ensure basins and bed pans found in shared restrooms in Rooms B, C and D were labeled. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure Resident 2's urinal was labeled. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 6's urinary catheter tubing was kept off the floor. * The facility failed to ensure EBP were followed for Resident 7 when performing the wound and indwelling urianry catheter care. * The facility failed to ensure a clean diaper was placed on Resident 37 post urinary catheter care. * The facility failed to ensure proper infection control techniques were followed when handling the clean linens for Resident 49. * The facility failed to ensure CNA 11 donned the appropriate PPE upon entering Resident 174's contact isolation room. These failures had the potential for the transmission of communicable diseases to other residents and employees throughout the facility. Findings: Residents Affected - Few 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Surveillance for Healthcare-Associated Infections revised 4/2012 showed the purpose of the surveillance of infections is to identify both individual cases and trends of epidemiologically significant organisms and Healthcare-Associated Infections, to permit interventions, and to prevent future infections. After removing duplicates and negative reports, prioritize the reports as follows: a. Multidrug-resistant reports (All multidrug-resistant reports require immediate attention. Ensure that appropriate precautions, if needed, are in place. If this is a new or unexpected report notify the Administrator, Director of Nursing Services, and Medical Director, b. Blood cultures. Wound cultures if there are corresponding signs and symptoms that indicate infection, d. Appropriately collected positive sputum cultures. e. Urine cultures combined with urinalysis results that show a urinary tract infection, and corresponding signs and symptoms of infection are present. a.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the facility's antibiotic stewardship program. * The facility failed to ensure the residents' physicians were informed when the residents who received antibiotics (Residents 190 and 191) did not meet the McGeer's Criteria, as documented for May 2025 line listing. In addition, the facility failed to follow-up on the urine laboratory results for one sampled resident (Resident 37) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 28), as documented for June 2025 line listing to determine if the antibiotic use met the McGeer's criteria. This failure had the potential for inaccurately identifying for true infections and potentially inhibiting the residents' physicians from discontinuing unnecessary antibiotic treatments.Findings: Residents Affected - Few Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship dated 12/2024 showed the purpose of the antibiotic stewardship program is to monitor the use of antibiotics in our residents. Orientation, training and education of staff will emphasize the importance of antibiotic stewardship and will include how inappropriate use of antibiotics affects individual residents and the overall community. When a culture and sensitivity (C&S) is ordered lab results and the current clinical situation will be communicated to the prescriber as soon as available to determine if antibiotic therapy should be started, continued, modified, or discontinued. Further review of the facility’s P&P showed when a resident is admitted from the emergency department, acute care facility, or other care facility, the admitting nurse will review discharge and transfer paperwork for current antibiotic/anti-infective orders. Review of the facility’s surveillance log for May 2025 showed two nonsampled residents (Residents 190 and 191) received antibiotics when the residents did not meet the McGeer’s Criteria for true infection. Review of the surveillance log for June 2025 showed one nonsampled resident (Residents 28) and one sampled resident (Resident 37) also received antibiotics when the residents did not meet the McGeer’s Criteria for true infection. For example, Resident 28 had a positive UA result, and the culture results reported “multiple organisms isolated, probable contaminant; repeat culture if indicated.” Resident 37 was documented as awaiting UA culture results. Medical record review for Resident 28 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 28 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Medical record review for Resident 37 was initiated on 8/18/25. Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE].

When the IP was asked to provide the surveillance logs for January, February, March, and April 2025 which included the antibiotic use in the facility, the IP stated she had asked the DON and other staff, however, they were unable to locate the surveillance logs for those months. The IP further stated the previous IP did not provide her with any documentation. The current IP began documenting antibiotic use and infections as of 5/16/25. Residents Affected - Few In addition, the IP was asked whether Residents 190 and 191’s physicians were informed about the residents who received antibiotics when the residents did not meet the McGeer’s Criteria for true infection. The IP stated the licensed nurses should have informed the physician in such cases, however, the IP was unable to locate any documentation to confirm the information provided. The IP was also asked whether the physicians were informed about the urine culture results for Residents 28 and 37, and whether there was any follow-up about repeat urine culture for Resident 28 and awaiting UA results for Resident 37. The IP stated the licensed nurses should have informed and followed up with the physician, however, the IP was not able to find documentation the physicians were notified. The IP verified the findings. On 08/21/25 at 1100 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated she was unable to locate the antibiotic line listings or infection surveillance logs for January through April 2025. The DON verified the findings.

F 0909 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate and complete for three of four final sampled residents (Residents 8, 72, and 130) reviewed for the grab bar use. * The facility failed to ensure the entrapment assessments of the grab bars were accurate and complete for Residents 8, 72, and 130. In addition, the quarterly entrapment assessments were not completed for the listed residents. This failure had the potential to negatively impact the residents, resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.Findings: According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment by the Food and Drug Administration issued on 3/10/06, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapment may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is potential for entrapment are: - Zone 1: within the rail; - Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support; - Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress; - Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail; - Zone 5: between split bed rails; - Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and - Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Safety and Bed Rail revised on 8/2022 showed the following: - Regardless of mattress type, width, length, and/or depth, the bed frame, bed rail, and mattress will leave no gap wide enough to entrap a resident’s head or body. Any gaps in the bed system are within the safety dimensions established by the FDA; - Maintenance staff routinely inspect all beds and related equipment to identify risks and problems including potential entrapment risks; - The maintenance department provides a copy of inspections to the administrator and report results to the QAPI committee for appropriate action. Copies if the results and QAPI committee recommendations are maintained by the administrator and /or safety committee.
