**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that maintained or
enhanced residents' dignity and respect in full recognition of their individuality for three (3) of six sampled
residents (Residents 32, 69, and 81) by failing to: 1. Ensure Occupational Therapist (OT 1) was seated at
eye level while assisting Resident 32 with the use of an adaptive utensil during meals. 2. Ensure Staff were
at eye level while assisting with feeding; specifically, certified nurse assistant (CNA) 1 was observed
standing over Resident 69 while feeding her. 3. Ensure Staff provided assistance with attention to safety,
comfort, and dignity; specifically, CNA 2 was observed removing Resident 81 from the dining room without
assisting with personal hygiene or cleaning noticeable phlegm (mucus produced by the cells lining the
upper airways and lungs) after Resident 81 coughed. This failure did not support a respectful,
person-centered approach to care and had the potential to negatively impact Residents 32, 69, and 81's
psychosocial well-being and feelings of self-worth.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 32's admission Record (AR), the facility admitted Resident 32 on 2/10/2025
and readmitted Resident 32 on 11/17/2025 with diagnoses that included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 32's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/29/2025, the HP indicated Resident
32 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 32's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident's assessment), dated 11/21/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 32's cognitive (a resident's thought process) skills for daily decision making
were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 32 required substantial assistance (helper does more
than half the effort) when eating, which includes the ability to use suitable utensils to bring food or liquid to
her month.
During an observation on 12/10/2025 at 12:35 PM in the activities room, Resident 32 was sitting in her
wheelchair with her lunch tray on the table in front of her. OT 1 was standing over Resident 32 on her right
side and assisted Resident 32 with griping the spoon to scoop some pureed food onto the spoon. OT 1
continued to stand over Resident 32 as she assisted Resident 32 using the adaptive utensil to scoop up her
pureed lunch.
During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 12:52 PM with OT 1, OT 1 stated she was standing next to Resident
32 as she assisted Resident 32 use the adaptive utensil. OT 1 stated, she was trying to assess Resident
32's ability to use the adaptive utensil to feed herself. OT 1 stated, she forgot to sit

down next to Resident 32 during this evaluation and while feeding because my main concern was to assess
if she can use the adaptive utensil. OT 1 stated, it was important to sit down at eye level with the resident
especially during feeding, so the resident does not feel rushed or intimidated during this time.
During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 8:53 AM with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), the DOR stated, it
was important to sit down and be at eye level with the resident during feeding because it is a dignity issue.
The DOR stated, during the evaluation of Resident 32's ability to use the adaptive utensil, OT 1 needed to
be sitting down with the resident, so the resident does not feel rushed or intimated by the staff member. The
DOR stated, the moment a staff member works with the resident, especially during treating or feeding, the
staff member needs to be sitting down and be at eye level with the resident to maintain the resident's
dignity.
2. During a review of Resident 69's AR, the record indicated Resident 69 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's Diseases (a progressive disease of the nervous
system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movements), bipolar disorder (sometimes
called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods
of emotional highs), and schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought).
During a review of Resident 69's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 69 had impaired
cognition (profound decline in mental abilities—such as memory, attention, and
reasoning—that results in full dependence on others for basic daily activities) and required partial
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating.
During an observation on 12/12/2025 at 7:59 AM in Resident 69's room, CNA 1 was observed feeding
Resident 69 breakfast. Resident 69 was lying in her bed with her meal tray placed in front of her. CNA 1
was observed standing next to Resident 69's bed and spoon feeding Resident 69 her meal.
During an interview with CNA 1 on 12/12/2025 at 8:05 AM, CNA 1 stated she knew that she should have
been sitting down while feeding Resident 69, however, there was no chair to sit on in the room. CNA 1
stated she chose to continue feeding Resident 69 while standing.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/12/2025 at 2:05 PM, the DON stated that staff
members who assist residents with feeding are expected to position themselves at eye level to promote
dignity and respectful interaction during mealtimes.
3. During a review of Resident 81's AR, the AR indicated that Resident 81 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including degenerative disease of basal ganglia
(brain structures that help control muscle movements), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by
difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities).
During a review of Resident 81's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 81 had severely
impaired cognition (profound decline in mental abilities—such as memory, attention, and
reasoning—that results in full dependence on others for basic daily activities) and required
partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating.

Room, Resident 81 was observed sitting in his wheelchair at one dining table while another resident was
being assisted with meal by CNA 8. Resident 81 was observed coughing for 2 to 3 seconds, with phlegm
coming out of his mouth and saliva dripping on to his chest and clothing. The CNA 8 at the same table did
not respond to his cough. A few minutes later CNA 2 was observed approaching Resident 81 speaking in
soft low voice. Meanwhile, CNA 8 was observed picking up another resident's tray from the table without
saying anything to CNA 2. When asked why she did not acknowledge Resident 81's cough, the unidentified
CNA stated that she was feeding another resident and could not check on Resident 81. CNA 2 stated that
she was supposed to check Resident 81 and should have noticed the phlegm and cleaned him.
During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 1:30 PM with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD
stated that any staff in the same room, especially at the same table, was supposed to check the resident
when they hear them cough regardless of assigned staff. DSD also stated that CNA 2 was supposed to
assist cleaning Resident 81 before heading somewhere instead of leaving drooling. The DSD stated per
facility policy, all residents have the right to be assisted with attention to safety, comfort, and dignity.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Resident Rights, dated December 2016,
the P&P indicated the facility shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.

Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
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 one out of three residents (Resident
64) who were sampled for self-administering medications was determined by the facility to safely
self-administer medications when Resident 64 was observed in the resident's room with 3 bottles of
medications at the bedside table. This failure had the potential to expose Resident 64, who was
self-administering medications, to side effects and adverse effects of these medications that could go
unmonitored by facility staff. Findings: During a review of Resident 64's admission Record indicated the
resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included depression (a mood disorder causing
persistent sadness and loss of interest, a person's capacity to feel, think, and handle daily activities),
hypertension (prolonged elevated blood pressure), atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat, causing irregular
and rapid pulse), and obesity (a disease characterized by having too much body fat). During a review of
Resident 64's History and Physical (H&P), dated 5/12/2025, indicated that the resident has the capacity to
understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 64's Minimum Data Set (a resident
assessment tool), dated (11/13/2025), indicated the resident has intact cognition (the ability to process
thoughts and emotions). The MDS indicated that Resident 64 was assessed requiring substantial
assistance (helper does more than half the effort) on activities such as toileting, putting on clothing, and
changing position from lying to sitting. The MDS also indicated that the resident requires moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) on activities such as performing personal hygiene, rolling
in bed from left to right, and changing position front sitting to lying. During a review of Resident 64's
assessment note titled, Self-Administration of Medication, dated 11/13/2025, the note indicated that
Resident 64 was not capable of self-administering eye and ear drops. The Assessment also indicated that
Resident 64 requires assistance to store medications in a secure location, open and close medication
containers, and self-administer oral medications. The Assessment ultimately concluded that Resident 64 is
not approved for self-administration of medications and that the resident may not keep medications at
bedside. During a review of Resident 64's current physician's orders, dated 12/12/2025, the orders did not
include orders to permit Resident 64 to self-administer medications. During a review of Resident 64's entire
care plans, from date of admission to 12/12/2025, the care plans did not include a care plan for Resident 64
to self-administer medications. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/9/2025 at 9:33 AM
inside Resident 64's room, Resident 64's bedside table was observed with 3 bottles of medications and one
unlabeled medication cup that contained white powder. Resident 64 stated the 3 bottles of medications are
medications for pain, sleep, and allergies. Resident 64 stated she did not know the contents of the white
powder that is in the unlabeled medication cup. Resident 64 added the white powder was given by the
nurse last night. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/9/2025 at 9:40 AM inside Resident
64's room with Licensed Nurse (LN) 4, LN 4 stated Resident 64's bedside table contains 3 bottles of
medications and one unlabeled medication cup containing white powder. LN 4 stated the 3 medication
bottles are diphenhydramine HCl 50mg (an oral medication used to relieve allergy symptoms),
acetaminophen 500mg (an oral medication to control pain), and oxymetazoline HCl 0.05% nasal spray (a
medication that is sprayed into the nose and is used to relieve allergy symptoms). LN 4 stated she did not
know the contents of the medication that is in the unlabeled medication cup. LN 4 emphasized that
residents are not allowed to keep medications at the bedside. During a record review of Resident 64's
clinical record from date of admission on [DATE] at 11:06 AM with LN 4, indicated no documented evidence
that Resident 64 had a physician's order or that care plans were developed permitting the resident to

were on Resident 64's bedside table. During the same concurrent interview and record review on 12/9/2025
at 11:06 with LN 4, Resident 64's assessment note titled, Self-Administration of Medication, dated
11/13/2025, was reviewed. LN 4 stated the assessment indicated that Resident 64 is not approved for
self-administration of medications. LN 4 further added that the assessment indicated that Resident 64 may
not keep medication at the bedside. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:52 PM with the Director of
Nursing (DON), the DON stated that residents are evaluated prior to permitting residents the opportunity to
self-administer medications. The DON added that when a resident is permitted to self-administer
medications, the resident must be monitored for potential side effects when the resident self-administers
the medications. The DON stated that if a resident self-administers medications without the knowledge of
the nurses, the resident could potentially suffer from adverse reactions that could go unmonitored. The
DON also added that even when residents are permitted to self-administer medications, the medications
must be stored in a secure location where other residents may not have access to them. During a review of
the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Self-Administration of Medications, revised 12/2016, the
P&P indicated that residents have the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team had
determined that it is clinically appropriate and safe for the residents to do so. The P&P indicated that if the
facility determines that a resident cannot safely self-administer medications, the nursing staff will administer
the resident's medications. The P&P indicated that self-administered medications must be stored in a safe
and secure place, which is not accessible by other residents.

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.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure completion of the Advance Directive
Acknowledgment (ADA- a document where a person confirms they have received information about their
right to create an advance directive and understand their options for future medical decisions) and
documentation of the resident's exercise of rights regarding advance directives, for 1 of 4 sampled
residents reviewed (Resident 77) for Advance Directives. This failure has the potential to result in more than
minimal harm because incomplete ADA documentation may prevent staff from being aware of and honoring
the resident's treatment preferences in an emergency. Findings:? During a review of Resident 77's
admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 77 on11/22/2025 with diagnoses
that included End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD- irreversible kidney failure), atherosclerotic heart disease (a
heart disease caused by thickening or hardening of the arteries), and hypertension (high blood pressure).?
? ? During a review of Resident 77's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a assessment tool), dated 11/28/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 77 had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand and make decisions)
and memory. The MDS also indicated that Resident 77 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does
less than half the effort) on eating, oral hygiene, and walk 10 feet. ? During a review of Resident 77's ADA
form dated 11/22/2025, it was noted that the form was incomplete. Specifically, the section requiring initials
from the resident or their Responsible Party (RP) was not completed for the following statements: - I have
been given written material and informed about my right to accept or refuse medical treatment. - I have
been informed of my rights to formulate Advance Directives. - I understand that I am not required to have
an Advance Directive in order to receive medical treatment at this health care facility. - I understand that the
terms of any Advance Directives that I executed will be followed by the health care facility and my
caregivers to the extent permitted by law. ?During the same review of Resident 77's ADA form dated
11/22/2025, it was noted that the section requiring the resident or Responsible Party (RP) to indicate
whether they decline to execute an Advance Directive or wish to execute an Advance Directive was left
blank. No check mark was placed in either option. ?During a concurrent interview and record review on
12/10/2025 at 11:15 AM with the Social Service Director (SSD), Resident 77's ADA form dated 11/22/2025
was reviewed. The SSD stated that she and her designee were responsible for explaining and assisting
residents with their Advance Directives (AD). The SSD acknowledged that she believed the ADA form had
been completed; however, upon review, she confirmed that the ADA form in the resident's medical record
was incomplete. The SSD further stated that it was important to complete ADA forms in their entirety and to
inform residents and their Responsible Parties (RP) about their rights to formulate an Advance Directive.
She emphasized that completing the ADA form ensures facility staff can follow the resident's wishes in the
event of an emergency. During a review of the facility's policies and procedures (P&P) titled Advance
Directives, dated 12/2016, the P&P indicated?the following: 1.Prior to or upon admission of a resident, the
Social Service Director or designee will inquire of the resident, his/her family member and/or his/her legal
representative, about the existence of any written advance directive. 2. Information about whether or not the
resident has executed an advance directive is displayed prominently in the medical record. 3.If the resident
indicates that he or she has not established advance directive, the facility staff will offer assistance in
establishing advance directives. The P&P further indicated that the resident will be given the options to
accept or decline the assistance, and care will not be contingent on either decision. Nursing staff will
document in the medical record the offer to assist and the residents decision to accept or decline
assistance.?

Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policies and procedures titled Abuse
Prevention/Prohibition and Abuse Reporting and Investigation for two of two sampled residents (Residents
45 and 46) by failing to protect, prevent, report, and investigate an alleged physical abuse incident that
occurred between Residents 45 and 46 on 07/13/2025. Specifically, the facility failed to: 1. Identify the
physical altercation between Residents 45 and 46 as a form of abuse, which was reported by Licensed
Vocational Nurses (LVNs) 2 and 7 to the Administrator on 07/13/2025, and which resulted in a mark on
Resident 45's upper left forehead. 2. Protect Resident 45 and prevent further physical abuse when licensed
nurses did not develop a care plan after LVNs 2 and 7 were made aware of the allegation of physical abuse
by Resident 46 toward Resident 45. 3. Report Resident 45's allegation of physical abuse by Resident 46 to
the Department of Public Health (State Survey Agency), local law enforcement, the Ombudsman (state
agency that advocates for residents), and Adult Protective Services (agency that protects adults and the
elderly) on 07/13/2025. 4. Investigate and document the investigation to determine whether abuse had
occurred and to protect Resident 45 from further physical abuse by Resident 46. These deficient practices
placed Residents 45 and 46, as well as other residents in the facility, at risk for further abuse, feelings of
intimidation, and neglect. Findings: During an interview on 12/15/2025 from 11 AM to 1 PM with the Staff
Coordinator (SC) 1, SC 1 stated on 7/13/2025 SC 1 started her shift at 5 AM. SC 1 stated she was in
Station 1 when she heard a noise coming from the Resident 45 and 46's room. SC 1 stated she responded
to the noise and saw Resident 45 and 46 looked like they just had an argument, SC 1 stated the incident
was reported to LN 7 and LN 7 went to the resident's room. SC1 stated Resident 45 alleged that Resident
46 hit Resident 45 to the head that had left a mark. SC 1 showed surveyor the photo she held in her phone,
stated she kept the photo just to assist staff with their investigation. During a concurrent review of the photo,
the photo was taken from the anterior left angle of Resident 45's face and showed a peach-colored mark,
size of approximately one inch in diameter, located on upper left portion of the resident's forehead. SC 1
further stated that later the ADM came to the facility and informed SC 1, LN 2, and LN 7 that he would take
care of the alleged incident between Residents 45 and 46 and told them not to report the incident to
anyone. 1. During a review of Resident 45's admission Record (AR) indicated that the facility admitted
Resident 45 on 4/24/2025 with diagnoses including, bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive
disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs),
cognitive communication deficits (difficulty communicating because of injury to the brain that controls the
ability to think.) During a review of Resident 45's History and Physical (H&P) dated 4/25/2025, the H&P
indicated that Resident 45 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of
Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 7/17/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 45 was severely cognitively impaired (rarely/never made decisions). The MDS indicated that
Resident 45 had verbal behavior symptoms directed toward others. During a review of Resident 45's
Change in Condition Evaluation (COC) dated 7/13/2025, the COC indicated Resident 45 had behavioral
symptoms with no further documentation describing Resident 45's behaviors, and indicated a change in
skin color or condition. The COC indicated a blank where the provider notification should be notified. The
COC also indicated a blank where Resident 45's responsible party should be notified. During a review of

Review Level II (PASRR II)-a follow-up assessment that ensures residents with mental disabilities receive
appropriate care-after the initial PASRR Level I assessment was completed for one (1) of three (3) sampled
residents (Resident 26), in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled PASRR
Completion Policy. This deficient practice had the potential to put Resident 26 at risk of not receiving

indicated that the facility will coordinate the recommendations from the Level II PASRR determination and
the PASRR evaluation report with the resident's assessment, care planning and transition of care; if the
PASRR level II evaluation is not available within five (5) days admission coordinator should follow up the
status of PASRR II evaluation and response will be filed in the clinical record; in the absence of the
admission coordinator/ designee, the director of nursing (DON) will review the PASRR portal for new
admission and Level II determination. During a review of Resident 26's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
Parkinson's Disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and
slow, imprecise movements), psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so
affected that contact is lost with reality), and bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder;

Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed,
and revised by a team of health professionals.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the musculoskeletal care plan was
updated to reflect the current nursing interventions for one out of five residents (Resident 8) who were
sampled for unnecessary medications. This deficient practice had the potential to cause Resident 8 to not
receive services and nursing care to address the resident's musculoskeletal issues. Findings: During a
review of Resident 8's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction from a
chemical imbalance, often from systemic illnesses like liver/kidney failure, diabetes, infections, or toxins,
causing confusion, memory issues, personality changes, fatigue, or even coma), epilepsy (a brain condition
that causes recurring seizures or uncontrolled and involuntary movement), and low back pain. During a
review of Resident 8's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/13/2025, the H&P did not indicate if the
resident has the capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P indicated a resident plan to control
the resident's pain. During a review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (a resident assessment tool), dated
10/2/2025, the MDS indicated that the resident has moderately impaired cognition. During a review of
Resident 8's pain assessment note, dated 10/2/2025, timed at 5:55 PM, the note indicated that received
pain medication in the last 5 days from the time of the assessment. The note indicated Resident 8
experienced pain frequently during the last 5 days. The note indicated that over the past 5 days, the pain
frequently disrupted the resident's sleep at night. The note also indicated that over the past 5 days, the pain
occasionally limited the resident's day-to-day activities. The note also indicated that the resident's pain is
alleviated by taking medications. During a review of Resident 8's care plan for risk for musculoskeletal
system care plan, initiated on 2/20/2025, and revised on 3/1/2025, the care plan indicated that Resident 8
has an alteration in musculoskeletal system related to pain, decreased strength, and left sided weakness.
The care plan included a goal for Resident 8's pain to be resolved within 1 hour of interventions, revised on
11/7/2025. The care plan also included an intervention for the resident to receive tizanidine HCl (a
medication used to relieve muscle spasms and discomfort) oral tablet 2 MG (milligram, a unit used to
measure weight), give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for spasms, initiated on 2/20/2025.
During a review of Resident 8's physician's orders for 12/2025, the orders did not include an order for
tizanidine HCl oral tablet 2 MG. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 2:15 PM
with Licensed Nurse (LN) 4, Resident 8's medical records were reviewed, including the resident's
physician's orders and care plans. LN 4 stated Resident 8's physician's orders does not include an order for
tizanidine HCl. LN 4 stated that Resident 8's care musculoskeletal care plan has not been updated,
because Resident 8 no longer has an order for tizanidine HCl. LN 4 stated that Resident 8's care plan
should have been updated when tizanidine HCl was discontinued. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at
4:52 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that care plans are used by nurses as a guide
to provide care for the residents. The DON also stated that the care plan is used by the nurses to monitor
and track which interventions work for the resident's problems. The DON added that the nurses would not
know which interventions work if the care plans are not updated. The DON further indicated that the care
plans must be updated whenever there are changes to the resident's care, such as when a change in
condition occurs or when medications are discontinued. During a review of the facility's policy and
procedures (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, revised 12/2016, the P&P indicated
that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan is developed and implemented for each resident. The

Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
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 that one of five sampled residents for
unnecessary medications (Resident 8) had physician orders for PRN (as needed) analgesics (pain reliever)
that were clear, specific, and non-conflicting. The physician orders contained overlapping administration
parameters, which created a risk for significant medication errors and did not comply with professional
standards of quality. This deficient practice placed Resident 8 at risk for potential adverse effects associated
with ambiguous pain medication parameters, including inconsistent medication administration, duplicate
therapy, or failure to follow physician orders. Findings: During a review of Resident 8's admission Record
indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included metabolic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction from a chemical imbalance, often from systemic
illnesses like liver/kidney failure, diabetes, infections, or toxins, causing confusion, memory issues,
personality changes, fatigue, or even coma), epilepsy (a brain condition that causes recurring seizures or
uncontrolled and involuntary movement), and low back pain. During a review of Resident 8's History and
Physical (H&P), dated 11/13/2025, the H&P did not indicate if the resident has the capacity to understand
and make decisions. The H&P indicated a resident plan to control the resident's pain. During a review of
Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (a resident assessment tool), dated 10/2/2025, the MDS indicated that the
resident has moderately impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 8 had no pain during the MDS
assessment reference period. During a review of Resident 8's pain assessment note, dated 10/2/2025,
timed at 5:55 PM, the note indicated that the resident received pain medication in the last 5 days from the
time of the assessment. The note indicated Resident 8 experienced pain frequently during the last 5 days.
The note indicated that over the past 5 days, the pain frequently disrupted the resident's sleep at night. The
note also indicated that over the past 5 days, the pain occasionally limited the resident's day-to-day
activities. The note also indicated that the resident's pain is alleviated by taking medications. During a
review of Resident 8's physician's orders for 12/2025, the orders included the following orders: 1.
Acetaminophen (a medication to control pain) Oral tablet 325 MG (milligram, a unit used to measure
weight), give 2 tablets by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain (4-10), ordered on
11/13/2025. 2. Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (an opioid drug combination that helps to control pain) oral
tablet 10-325 MG, give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for severe pain (8-10), ordered on
11/13/2025. During a review of Resident 8's care plan for risk for pain, initiated on 2/20/2025, the care plan
included interventions to administer medications for pain as ordered by the physician. The care plan also
indicated for staff to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and to review the medication's dosing
schedules. During a review of Resident 8's care plan for the resident's risk of adverse reaction related to
polypharmacy (use of 5 or more medications at the same time), initiated on 11/13/2025, the care plan
included interventions for staff to review the resident's medications for duplicate medications, proper
dosing, timing and frequency of administration. The care plan included a goal for Resident 8 to be free of
adverse drug reactions. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 2:15 PM with
Licensed Nurse (LN) 4, Resident 8's medical records were reviewed, including the resident's physician's
orders. LN 4 stated that Acetaminophen is ordered for pain that ranges from 4 to 10 and
Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen is ordered for pain that ranges from 8 to 10. LN 4 stated Resident 8's
physician's orders include pain medications Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen that have
overlapping parameters. LN 4 stated the nurses could get confused on which pain medication to administer
because if the resident states a pain of 8 out of 10 or

greater, the nurses have options to administer either medication. LN 4 stated the orders should be specific
and must be changed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/12/2025 at 4:52 PM with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that physician's orders for pain medications, such as
Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen, should indicate specifically when they should be
administered. The DON stated the pain medication orders for Resident 8 should be clarified and changed.
The DON further stated that if the orders are not clear and specific, the facility could mismanage the
resident's pain. The DON added ensuring that each medication has the proper indication is important in
identifying unnecessary medications. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled,
Adverse Consequences and Medication Errors, revised 2/2023, the P&P indicated that the interdisciplinary
team monitors medication usage in order to prevent and detect mediation-related problems such as
adverse drug. reactions (ADRs) and side effects. The P&P indicated that staff strive minimize adverse
consequences by defining appropriate indications for the medication's use.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
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 provide care and services in accordance with
the resident's care plan and professional standards of practice for one of three residents sampled for quality
of care (Resident 54) when: 1. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 4 failed to turn Resident 54, who was bed
bound, every two hours or as needed as stated in the resident's care plan. 2. Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 failed
to inspect and ensure that Resident 54 had a dressing on her gastric tube (g-tube: a surgical opening fitted
with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems) site as written in her care plan and ordered by the physician. 3. Licensed nurses
failed to reconcile Resident 54's order for an abdominal binder (a stretchy support belt worn around the
stomach to help protect a g-tube site by covering it securely and preventing the resident from pulling or
dislodging the tube) after Resident 54 was readmitted to the facility from a hospital. These deficient
practices had the potential to result in skin breakdown, infection, and inconsistent care for Resident 54.
Cross Reference F880 Findings: During a review of Resident 54's admission Record, the record indicated
Resident 54 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease
(a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and
failure to thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional impairments which can cause weight
loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity). During a review of Resident 54's Minimum Data Set
(MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 54 had severely impaired
cognition (profound decline in mental abilities-such as memory, attention, and reasoning-that results in full
dependence on others for basic daily activities). The MDS also indicated Resident 54 was fully dependent
on staff (helper does all of the effort) for all cares such as personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, and turning in
bed. During a review of Resident 54's Interdisciplinary Team Conference Record (IDT: a group of healthcare
professionals who collaborate to develop and implement a comprehensive, patient-centered care plan that
addresses medical, psychosocial, and functional needs) dated 12/3/2025, the IDT record indicated
Resident 54 was readmitted to the facility from the general acute care hospital (GACH) on 12/2/2025 after a
g-tube reinsertion. The IDT record further indicated to continue with the current plan of care. During a
review of Resident 54's care plan titled Risk for skin Breakdown Care Plan, dated 2/4/2025, the care plan
indicated Resident 54 was at risk for breakdown related to failure to thrive, moderate protein-calorie
malnutrition, diabetes (DM: a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), low albumin (a protein in the blood that helps keep fluid balance), poor activities of daily living
(ADL) functioning, incontinence (inability to control) of bowel and bladder, weight loss, and being bed
bound. The care plan further indicated interventions for staff to reposition Resident 54 at least every two
hours. The care plan did not indicate that Resident 54 had a preference of being positioned on her right
side. During a review of Resident 54's care plan titled G-tube Feeding Care Plan, dated 12/4/2025, the care
plan indicated a goal for the resident's insertion site to be free of signs and symptoms of infection. The care
plan further indicated interventions for g-tube stoma site (a surgically created opening on the body's
surface) cleanse with NS (Normal Saline: a sterile, salt water solution used to help clean wounds), pat dry,
apply T-drain sponge (a type of dressing) initiated on 1/28/2025. During a review of Resident 54's Order
Summary Report (OSR: a list of instructions from a licensed medical provider that authorize specific
treatments, tests, medications, or services for a resident, serving as the legal and clinical basis for
delivering care) dated 12/11/2025, the report indicated an order for g-tube

(EBP: infection control measure that require the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact care to
prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO: bacteria that are resistant to one or more
classes of antibiotics, making infections harder to treat and control in healthcare settings]) due to indwelling

ordered on 12/10/2025. The OSR did not indicate an order for an abdominal binder. During an observation
on 12/9/2025 at 9:51 AM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54 was observed lying in bed with her eyes
closed and positioned on her right side with a pillow underneath her left side. During another observation
on 12/9/2025 at 11:42 AM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54 was observed lying in bed with her eyes
closed and in the same position on her right side with a pillow underneath her left side. During another
observation on 12/9/2025 at 1:25 PM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54 was observed lying in bed with
her eyes closed and in the same position on her right side with a pillow underneath her left side. During
another observation on 12/9/2025 at 2:41 PM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54 was observed lying in
bed with her eyes closed and in the same position on her right side with a pillow underneath her left side.
During another observation on 12/9/2025 at 2:55 PM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54's abdomen was
observed to have on an abdominal binder. Underneath the abdominal binder, the g-tube site was observed
without a dressing, and the abdominal binder was rubbing directly onto the stoma site. Resident 54's feed
tubing (the plastic tube that connects the tube feeds to the resident's g-tube) was connected and infusing
into the resident's g-tube. Resident 54 was also observed in the same position on her right side with a
pillow underneath her left side. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 3:00 PM with Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 stated Resident 54 sometimes woke up when she was physically stimulated but
was not cognitively aware of what was going on around her. CNA 4 stated that Resident 54 preferred to be
positioned on her right side, further stating she did not position Resident 54 on her left side at all for her
shift. During an interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 on 12/9/2025 at 3:00 PM, LN 1 stated that the
treatment nurse (TXN) was responsible for changing g-tube dressings in the facility, however there was no
treatment nurse available during the day. LN 1 stated she was not aware that Resident 54's g-tube site did
not have a dressing and was unaware of how long the dressing was off since she had not assessed
Resident 54's g-tube during her shift. LN 1 also stated that Resident 54's care plan did not indicate the
resident had a preference for being positioned on her right side. During an interview with TXN 2 on
12/10/2025 at 9:15 am, TXN 2 stated that if there was no TXN available, the LN assigned to the resident
was responsible for assessing and changing the g-tube dressing. TXN 2 stated it was important to ensure
there was a dressing in place to prevent the site from becoming infected. TXN 2 further stated that the
resident could develop sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection) and become hospitalized from infection.??
During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 12:25 PM with LN 4, LN 4 stated that Resident 54 did not have an
order for an abdominal binder when there should have been one. LN 4 further explained that Resident 54
was previously hospitalized for pulling out her g-tube and her primary physician ordered to place an
abdominal binder to protect the g-tube from being pulled out again. LN 4 stated Resident 54 previously had
the order for the abdominal binder, but the order was not reconciled when the resident was readmitted to
the facility from the hospital on

[DATE]. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/12/2025 at 2:05 PM, the DON stated
LNs were expected to visually inspect the g-tube site every shift as part of their daily assessment. The DON
stated that it was important to ensure the g-tube site was covered with a dressing to prevent the resident
from developing an infection with an MDRO. The DON further stated Enhanced Barrier Precautions were
ordered for residents with indwelling devices such as g-tubes specifically to prevent MDRO
infections.??Regarding Resident 54's abdominal binder, the DON stated the admitting licensed nurse was
responsible for ensuring all of the physicians' orders were effective and carried out appropriately when the
resident was readmitted in the facility. The DON emphasized the importance of verifying that all orders were
complete to maintain continuity of care. Regarding repositioning, the DON stated bed bound residents were
dependent on staff assistance for ADLs and therefore Resident 54 should have been repositioned every
two hours or more as needed to prevent skin breakdown, as written in her care plan. The DON stated that
failing to turn Resident 54 was a quality-of-care issue that could compromise her skin integrity, diminish her
quality of life, and cause pain. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Gastrostomy/Jejunostomy Site Care, dated October 2011, the P&P indicated to assess the stoma site for
signs of redness, pain or soreness, or drainage and the purposes of this procedure are to promote
cleanliness and to protect the gastrostomy. site from irritation, breakdown, and infection.? During a review
of the facility's (P&P) titled Prevention of Pressure Injuries dated April 2020, the P&P indicated to reposition
the resident as indicated on the care plan During a review of the facility's job description for Nurse
Supervisors, the job description indicated the nurse supervisors assist with the admission of new residents
in compliance with facility policy and procedure and review charts for accuracy and completeness in
response to admission assessments.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that one of three sampled
residents (Resident 92), who had an indwelling Foley catheter, and was reviewed for infections, received
appropriate monitoring and documentation of intake and output (I&O) and assessment of urine
characteristics as required by the physician's order, the resident's care plan, and facility policy. Specifically,
staff did not document I&O from 12/1/2025 to 12/12/2025, did not record urine output in the Elimination
section, and did not identify or report cloudy urine observed on 12/12/2025. This deficient practice resulted
in the potential for undetected urinary tract infection (UTI-an infection in the bladder/urinary tract), catheter
obstruction, or urinary retention, which could lead to complications such as sepsis or worsening of the
resident's condition. Findings: During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled Catheter
Care, Urinary, dated 9/2014, the P&P indicated that, to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections,
the guidelines included the following: - Maintain an accurate record of the resident's daily output. - Observe
the resident for complications associated with urinary catheters and check the urine for any unusual
appearance (e.g., color, presence of blood, etc.). During a review of Resident 92's admission Record (AR),
the AR indicated that Resident 92 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including sepsis (a
life-threatening blood infection), diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing), and candidal cystitis (a fungal infection in the bladder) and urethritis
(infection of tube that carries pee from the bladder out of the body [urethra]). During a review of Resident
92's Care Plan dated 12/5/2025, the Care Plan indicated that Resident 92 had a Foley catheter due to a
pressure ulcer. The Care Plan identified the goal as: Resident 92's bladder will show no signs or symptoms
(S/S) of urinary infection. The Care Plan also listed interventions, including monitoring and documenting
intake and output, and monitoring, recording, and reporting to the doctor if urine appears cloudy or if there
is no urine output (UOP). During a review of Resident 92's Physician Order dated 12/5/2025, the order
directed staff to monitor every shift for signs and symptoms (S/S) of infection and document as follows: 0 =
None 1 = Acute dysuria 2 = Fever (>100 F) 3 = Gross hematuria (visible blood in urine) 4 = Functional
decline 5 = Purulent drainage (containing white blood cells or pus) around the catheter site and notify the
doctor. During a review of Resident 92's Medication Administration Record from 12/1/2025 to 12/12/2025,
there was no documented evidence of recording Resident 92's Intake and Output (I&O). During a review of
Resident 92's Intake and Output and Elimination records for the same period, from 12/1/2025 to
12/12/2025, there was no documented evidence of recording Resident 26's Intake and Output. During a
review of Resident 92's Minimal Data Sheet (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/12/2025, the MDS
indicated that Resident 76's cognition was moderately impaired (short-term memory is more affected,
significant difficulty with memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and daily tasks, including confusion, trouble
following conversations, and challenges managing complex situations.) The MDS also indicated that
Resident 92 was dependent (Helper does all of the effort) on toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, and
personal hygiene. During an observation on 12/12/2025 at 9:05 AM, Resident 92's Foley catheter drainage
was noted to have cloudy yellow urine output (UOP). During a subsequent observation and concurrent
interview on 12/12/2025 at 11:00 AM with CNA 9 and TXN 2 in Resident 92's room, the Foley catheter
continued to show cloudy yellow urine output. CNA 9 acknowledged the cloudy urine and stated she would
document UOP if instructed to do so. TXN 2 stated that the charge nurse should be responsible for
assessing Resident 92 and being aware of the urine color. TXN 2

further stated that Resident 92 was a new admission with a catheter and, to her understanding, nurses
were supposed to record intake and output (I&O) for the first 30 days. During an interview and concurrent
record review on 12/12/2025 at 11:30 AM with Licensed Nurse (LN) 3, Resident 92's Medication

to determine if the resident had adequate drainage. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 2:00 PM with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that without an intake and output (I&O) record, she would not
be able to determine whether the resident's catheter was unobstructed or if the bladder was retaining urine.
The DON stated that it is the nursing staff's responsibility to monitor and identify signs and symptoms (S/S)
of urinary tract infection (UTI) or urinary retention and to document any findings. The DON further stated
that Resident 92 should have been closely monitored for urine output and unusual appearance, and an
accurate record of daily output should have been maintained.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that Resident 34 received
appropriate pain management for open wounds on the right and left temporal areas by failing to: 1. Monitor
and document Resident 34's pain before, during, and after wound treatments on 5/5/2025, 5/26/2025,
7/24/2025, 8/23/2025, and from 12/1/2025 to 12/13/2025, in accordance with physician orders and the
resident's care plan. 2. Reevaluate Resident 34's pain management and notify Physician 1 (Attending
Physician) of the resident's refusal of wound care treatments due to pain and sensitivity in the right and left
temporal wounds, as required by the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Pain - Clinical Protocol and
care plan for refusal of treatments. 3 Monitor and document the probable causes of each pain episode,
including pain characteristics and relieving factors, every shift and as needed. The facility also failed to
monitor, record, and report any signs and symptoms of non-verbal pain indicators, as outlined in the
resident's pain care plan. These failures resulted in Resident 34 exhibiting both verbal and non-verbal signs
of pain during activities of daily living (ADL) care and wound treatments. Consequently, Resident 34
experienced unnecessary pain, which negatively impacted his quality of life and overall well-being.
Findings: During a review of Resident 34's admission Record (AR), the facility admitted Resident 34 on
12/2/2023 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included open wound of right cheek and
temporomandibular (area connecting jawbone to skull in front of the ears) area and squamous cell
carcinoma of skin (skin cancer) of other parts of face. During a review of Resident 34's care plan (CP),
dated 2/20/2025, the CP indicated Resident 34 experienced acute (short term) pain and chronic (long term)
pain. The CP's interventions included to establish a pain management treatment plan, evaluate the
effectiveness of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments, evaluate for pain, and evaluate for
non-verbal indicators of pain. During a review of Resident 34's Order Recap Report, with an order date of
3/1/2025 and discontinued date 11/22/2025, the order indicated to administer Acetaminophen Oral Tablet
325 milligrams (mg, unit of weight), two tablets by mouth every six hours as needed for moderate to severe
pain (4-10) on the numerical number scale (0/10 indicated no pain to 10/10 indicated the worse pain ever
felt). During a review of Resident 34's Order Recap Report, with an order date 5/9/2025 and discontinued
date 8/3/2025, the order indicated to monitor Resident 34's pain levels before, during and after treatment as
needed and every evening shift. During a review of Resident 34's Order Recap Report, with an order date
5/3/2025 and discontinued date 6/3/2025, the order indicated Resident 34's right temporal wound care
included to clean the right temporal open wound with normal saline solution, pat dry, apply betadine 10%
solution and leave open to air every evening shift for 30 days and as needed for 30 days. During a review of
Resident 34's Order Recap Report, with an order date 5/3/2025 and discontinued date 6/3/2025, the order
indicated Resident 34's left temporal wound care included to apply Vitamin A and D ointment to the left
temporal scab and leave open to air for 30 days and as needed for 30 days. During a review of Physician 3
(Dermatology)'s Visit Note, dated 5/16/2025, Physician 3 indicated Resident 34 had skin lesions (any area
of skin that looks different from the surrounding skin), located on the left lateral forehead and the right
lateral forehead. Physician 3 indicated these growths were asymmetric, bleeding, draining, growing, not
healing, oozing, scaley, spreading, and tender and moderate in severity. Physician 3 indicated that Resident
34's skin lesions were interfering with grooming and catching on his clothing, and these skin lesions were
red, swelling, and itchy. During a review of Resident 3's Dermatopathology Report, reported on 5/21/2025,
the report indicated Resident 34 had a left and right lateral forehead shaved biopsy that indicated
squamous cell carcinoma with adnexal extensions. The

Resident 34's Order Recap Report, order date 10/6/2025 and a discontinued date 11/22/2025, the order
indicated to monitor Resident 34's pain before, during, and after treatment everyday shift. During a review
of Resident 34's Order Summary Report, a physician order, with the start date of 11/22/2025 indicated to
give Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (combination pain reliever to relieve moderate to severe pain) Oral
Tablet 5-325 mg with instructions to give 1 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for moderate pain (4 to
7 out of 10). During a review of Resident 34's Order Summary Report, a physician order with the start date
of 11/22/2025 indicated an order to give acetaminophen oral Tablet 325 mg, two (2) tablets by mouth every
6 hours as needed (PRN) for moderate to severe pain (4 to 6 out of 10) based on the numerical pain scale.
During a review of Resident 34's MAR and TAR for December 2025, there was no documented evidence of
Resident 34's pain assessment before, during, and after treatment from 12/1/2025 to 12/9/2025, after the

6 stated, Resident 34 would complain and scream during these wound treatments. LN 6 stated she would
hold Resident 34's hand to prevent him from removing the wound care dressing right away. LN 6 stated,
Resident 34 would almost always remove the wound care dressing to the temporal area right away. LN 6
stated, Resident 34 did not like having his right forehead, temporal area, and upper cheek touched because
it hurts him. LN 6 stated, she thought [Resident 34] received pain medication prior to wound treatment.
During the same interview on 12/11/2025 at 12:50 PM with LN 6, LN 6 stated she did not know that
Resident 34 had pain medication order for Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen available for pain management.
LN 6 stated, she did not know when the order was placed and noticed the medication was placed as of
today [12/11/2025]. LN 6 stated, the TXN was responsible for assessing Resident 34's pain levels prior to
treatment, performing the wound care treatments, and reassessing Resident 34's pain levels during and
after treatment. LN 6 stated that the TXN would tell the LN that Resident 34 was requesting pain
medication, and it was the LN's responsibility to provide medication to Resident 34. LN 6 stated, Resident
34 was not pre-medicated prior to Physician 2 (Wound Care Specialist) performing wound care treatment.
LN 6 stated, if she had pre-medicated Resident 34, then Resident 34 probably would not have refused
Physician 2's wound care treatment. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/11/2025 at 1:15
PM with LN 6, Resident 34's CoC evaluations were reviewed. LN 6 stated, there was no documented
evidence Physician 1 was notified of Resident 34's refusal of temporal wound treatments. LN 6 stated, if
Resident 34 refused wound treatments three (3) times, a CoC should be initiated. During an interview on
12/12/2025 at 10:31 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 3, CNA 3 stated, Resident 34 was very
sensitive to the right side of his head and face being touched. CNA 3 stated, on shower days, Resident 34
did not want the water to touch his hair and face. CNA 3 stated, Resident 34 would only allow me to clean
the left side of his face. CNA 3 stated, when she would clean the left side of Resident 34's face, Resident
34's body was relaxed and resident would let me clean the left side of his face from his forehead to his chin.
CNA 3 stated, when she tried to clean the right side of Resident 34's face, Resident 34's body and face
would be more alert and more guarded. CNA 3 stated, she would explain to Resident 34 she was cleaning
the right side of his face, and Resident 34 would be more alert, defensive, and on guard, the closer she
cleaned to his upper right cheek area. CNA 3 stated, when she was too close to his upper right cheek area,
Resident 34 would scream and say ouch!. CNA 3 stated she reported Resident 34's pain to the charge
nurse. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 1:45 PM with Physician 1 (Attending Physician), Physician 1
stated that Resident 34 would refuse [wound care] treatment, and it was difficult to care for [Resident 34].
Physician 1 stated, he does not know when he was first notified of Resident 34's refusal for wound care
treatment, but stated, I clearly know about [Resident 34's] refusal of care. During an interview on
12/12/2025 at 2:35 PM with LN 4, LN 4 stated Resident 34 would get upset and more agitated when
someone tries to touch his face. LN 4 stated, Resident would push your hand away and would say no, no,
no and leave me alone when staff gets close to [Resident 34's] face.LN 4 stated that Resident 34 does not
ask for any pain management, but he will say something when someone touches his face. During an
observation on 12/15/2025 at 11:10 AM in Resident 34's room with TXN 2 present, Resident 34 was
observed lying on his left side with a blanket covering his face. TXN 2 stood on the right side of the bed,
slightly outside Resident 34's line of sight, and asked if she could perform his wound care treatment while
pointing to the wound on the right side of his face. TXN 2 explained to Resident 34 the importance of wound
care, offered Resident 34 pain medication, and offered to come back and check again around 1:30 PM.
TXN 2 asked Resident 34 why he kept refusing his treatments, and Resident 34 leaned his neck back
slightly, turned the right side of his face away from TXN 2's hand, and

stated, No thank you. Go away. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/2025 at 11:20 AM
with TXN 2, Resident 34's TAR was reviewed. TXN 2 stated, Resident 34's pain assessments before,
during, and after treatment were missing from the TAR from 12/1/2025 to 12/13/2025. TXN 2 stated, it was
important to assess Resident 34's pain before and after treatment to evaluate and re-evaluate if Resident
34's current pain management was effective or needed to be re-evaluated. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 12/15/2025 at 11:55 AM with LN 6, Resident 34's MAR and TAR for December 2025
was reviewed. LN 6 stated that there was no documented evidence of pain management from December 1
to December 9, 2025. LN 6 stated, there was no documented evidence Resident 34 was premedicated
prior to temporal wound treatments. LN 6 stated, it was important to assess Resident 34's pain levels
before, during, and after treatment. LN 6 stated, it was important to assess Resident 34's pain prior to
treatment and premedicating is important prior to treatment because treatments hurt. LN 6 stated, it was
important to reassess Resident 34's pain after treatment to determine if the pain management was
effective. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/2025 at 4:41 PM with the Director of
Nursing (DON), Resident 34's MAR and TAR for December 2025 was reviewed. The DON stated, there was
no documented evidence Resident 34's pain was assessed before, during, and after temporal wound care
treatments. The DON stated there was no documented evidence Resident 34 was premedicated prior to
starting wound treatments. The DON stated, pain assessment included assessing the pain level, type of
pain, location of pain, frequency of pain, description of pain, what aggravates the pain, and what relieves
the pain. The DON stated that it was important to reassess pain after Resident 34's wound treatments to
evaluate whether the current pain management was effective. During the same concurrent interview and
record review on 12/15/2025 at 4:50 PM with the DON, Resident 34's CoC documentations were reviewed.
The DON stated that there was no documented evidence of Resident 34's refusal for treatments. The DON
stated that a CoC needed to be created if the resident refused treatment three times because the physician
needed to be notified of the resident's refusal. The DON stated she could not recall if the facility's IDT had
discussed Resident 34's pain issues and wound treatment refusals during the facility's IDT meetings.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Pain - Clinical Protocol, dated March 2018, the P&P indicated that
the physician and staff will identify individuals who have pain or who are at risk for having pain which
included a review of any treatments that the resident currently is receiving for pain including complementary
and non-pharmacological interventions. The P&P further indicated that the nursing staff will assess each
resident when there is onset of new pain or worsening of existing pain. The P&P indicated that staff and
physician will identify the characteristics of pain such as location, intensity, frequency, pattern, and severity.
The P&P indicated the nursing staff will identify any situation or interventions where an increase in the
resident's pain may be anticipated such as wound care. The P&P further indicated the physician will help
identify causes of pain and help identify the extent of the underlying cause of pain. During a review of the
same policy, Pain - Clinical Protocol, dated March 2018, the P&P indicated, the physician and staff will
establish goals of pain treatment, and will reassess the resident's pain and related consequences at regular
intervals. The P&P indicated that if the resident's pain is complex and not responding to standard
interventions, the attending physician may consider additional consultative support. During a review of the
facility's P&P titled Requesting, Reusing, and/or Discontinuing Care or Treatment, dated 5/2017, the P&P
indicated that if a resident requests, discontinues, or refuses care or treatment, the unit manager, charge
nurse or director of nursing services will meet with the resident to: determine why the resident is requesting,
refusing, or discontinuing care or treatment. The P&P indicated that the healthcare practitioner must be

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure continuous communication and collaboration for
Resident 34's overall medical management between Physician 1 (Attending Physician), Physician 2
(Wound Care Specialist, physician who specializes in Wound Care and management), Physician 3
(Dermatologist, physician who specializes in skin care and management), and Physician 4 (Oncologist,
physician who specializes in cancer and cancer management). This failure resulted in the breakdown of
communication and collaboration between Resident 34's physicians which led to the lack of direction for
Resident 34's overall medical care and management. Cross Reference F697 Findings: During a review of
Resident 34's admission Record (AR), the facility admitted Resident 34 on 12/2/2023 and readmitted
Resident 34 on 11/22/2025 with diagnoses that include squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) of skin of
other parts of face, open wound of right cheek and temporomandibular (area connecting jawbone to skull in
front of the ears) and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). The AR indicated
Resident 34's responsible part was the Bioethics Committee (committee within the facility composed of the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) including the Medical Director, Attending Physician, Nursing Services, Social
Services, and other ancillary staff). During a review of Resident 34's Wound Assessment Report written by
Treatment Nurse (TXN) 3, dated 12/2/2023, TXN 3 indicated Resident 34 had a right temple hematoma (a
collection of blood outside of a blood vessel caused by a broken blood vessel) sized 3 centimeters (cm) by
3 cm that was raised and dark colored. During a review of Resident 34's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a
resident's assessment tool), dated 12/7/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 34's cognition (a residents
thought process) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 34 required moderate assistance
(helper does less than half the effort) for activities of daily living (ADLs, activities such as bathing, dressing,
and toileting a person performs daily) and required moderate assistance when transferring from a sitting to
standing position and repositioning self in bed. The MDS indicated Resident 34 was not receiving a pain
management regimen and denied pain. The MDS indicated the staff assessment for pain was blank and
Resident 34's indicators for pain such as non-verbal sounds (such as groaning, gasping, or crying), vocal
complaints (such as ouch or stop), facial expressions (such as grimacing, wincing, or clenched teeth or
jaw), or protective body movements (such as guarding, bracing, or tensing a body part). The MDS did not
indicate Resident 34 had any open lesions (an area of abnormal or damaged tissue caused by injury,
infection, or disease). During a review of Physician 2's (Wound Care Specialist, physician who specializes
in Wound Care and management) Surgical Notes, dated 4/9/2024, 4/16/2024, 4/23/2024, 4/30/2024,
5/7/2024, 5/14/2024, and 5/21/2024 Resident 34 had a left and right temporal wound. Physician 2 indicated
Resident 34's left temporal wound was sized 3 cm by 3 cm with scant amount of serosanguineous (fluid
mixed with blood and serum) drainage, unstable peri-wound (skin around the wound) and erythematous
(inflamed and red) wound edge. Physician 2 indicated Resident 34's right temporal wound had increased in
size from 7 cm by 7 cm to 8 cm by 8 cm with mild to scant amounts of serosanguineous drainage, unstable
peri-wound, and friable (easily crumbled) wound edge on 5/21/2024. Physician 2 indicated that the
recommended dressing was Betadine (antiseptic) solution cleanse and dry dressing. Physician 2 did not
indicate in her 5/21/2024 Surgical Note the reason she stopped Resident 34's wound care consultation
after 5/21/2024. During a review of Physician 3 (Dermatology)'s Visit Note, dated 5/16/2025, Physician 3
indicated Resident 34 had skin lesions (any area of skin that looks different from the surrounding skin),
located on the left lateral forehead and the right lateral forehead. Physician 3 indicated these growths were
asymmetric, bleeding, draining, growing, not healing,

oozing, scaley, spreading, and tender and moderate in severity. Physician 3 indicated that Resident 34's
skin lesions were interfering with grooming and catching on his clothing, and these skin lesions were red,
swelling, and itchy. Physician 3 indicated Resident 34's plan of care was to refer Resident 34 to Physician 5
(Specialized Dermatologist who surgically removes skin cancer). During a review of Resident 3's
Dermatopathology Report, reported on 5/21/2025, the report indicated Resident 34 had a left and right
lateral forehead shaved biopsy that indicated squamous cell carcinoma with adnexal extensions. The report
indicated these lesions extended to both peripheral margins and to deep margin. During a review of
Resident 34's Nursing Progress Notes (PN), dated 6/17/2024 timed at 12:32 PM, the PN indicated
Physician 3 recommended Resident 34 to be referred to Physician 4 (Oncologist physician who specializes
in cancer care and management). During a review of Physician 4's New Visit note, dated 6/27/2024,
Physician 4 indicated Resident 34 had high risk squamous cell carcinoma with multiple lesions on the left
and right forehead and hands and arms which were large at 6 cm and 8 millimeters (mm, unit of measure)
deep. Physician 4's plan of care indicated Resident 34 needed systemic treatment and would like to
proceed with Cemiplimab (Immunotherapy treatment used to help increase the body's defense against
cancer cells) 300 milligrams (mg, unit of weight) intravenous (medication delivered directly into the vein via
a small catheter) every 3 weeks until Resident 34's intolerance or up to 24 months. During a review of
Physician 4's Follow-up notes, dated 7/17/2024, 9/18/2024, 3/26/2025, 4/16/2025, 5/14/2025, 6/4/2025,
6/25/2025, 7/30/2025, and 12/3/2025, Physician 4 indicated Resident 34's CT (imaging) scan on 7/11/2024
indicated a right temporal scalp mass with the size 9.5 cm by 1cm and the right greater than left maxillary
sinus (hollow space in the bones around the nose) polypoid (growth) lesions. Physician 4 indicated
Resident 34's right forehead lesion was worsening, tumor was growing. During a review of Resident 34's
Order Recap Report, order dated 10/4/2024 and discontinued in 2/25/2025, the order indicated Resident
34 had a Wound Consult and Follow up visit by Physician 2. During a review of Resident 34's MDS, dated
[DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 34's cognition as severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 34
required maximal assistance (helper does most of the effort) with ADL cares and required supervision
when transferring from lying to sitting position or from bed to chair. The MDS indicated Resident 34 was not
receiving a schedule pain medication regimen, Resident 34 denied pain, and the staff assessment for
Resident 34's indicators of pain was blank. The MDS did not indicate Resident 34 had any open lesions.
During a review of Physician 4's Follow up note, dated 11/19/2025, Physician 4 indicated Resident 34 had a
Stage 3 high risk squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Physician 4 indicated Resident 34 had multiple
lesions on the left and right forehead and the arms and legs. Physician 4 indicated to transfer Resident 34
to the emergency department for altered mental status, locally advances skin cancer mixed with infection,
hypotension (low blood pressure), and tachycardia (increased heart rate). Physician 4 indicated her
recommendations to the emergency department including a blood culture, wound culture, wound care
consult, infectious disease consult, and broad-spectrum IV antibiotics. During a review of Resident Acute
Care Hospital (GACH) 1 records, Physician 6's (Plastic Surgery, physician specializes in the reconstruction
of defects affecting appearance or function) Consultation Note, dated 11/20/2025 was reviewed. Physician
6 indicated Resident 34 had signification ulcerative (open sore)/erosive (an aggressive breakdown and
destruction of deeper tissue) squamous cell carcinoma to the face with a cancerous wound to the scalp and
right eye. Physician 6 recommended to keep the wound clean and dry, and may be covered with xeroform
dressing if the wound is draining, otherwise leave open to air. During an observation on 12/10/2025 at
10:09 AM in Resident 34's room, Resident 34 was observed lying on his back in bed with his face exposed.

extending from the hairline on the right side of the forehead across the right temple, over the right eyelid,
and towards the area before the right ear. Dried blood streaks were also noted across the bridge of the
nose, down the right side of the face to the chin, and on Resident 34's top linen sheets. During an interview
on 12/10/2025 at 3:30 PM with Licensed Nurse (LN) 4, LN 4 stated Resident 34 was admitted in 2023 with
a small hematoma (a collection of blood outside of the blood vessel caused by a broken blood vessel) on
the right side of his face/ LN 4 stated, Resident 34 was under the care of a Dermatologist in early 2024 but
then Physician 4 (Oncologist) took over Resident 34's care in mid-2024. LN 4 stated, Physician 2 managed
Resident 34's wound care on the right side of his face. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 12: 03 PM with
Physician 2 (Wound Care Specialist), Physician 2 stated she managed Resident 34 wound care at the
beginning of 2024, and it was small in size but it was scabbed. Physician 2 stated, once she knew Resident
34 had a biopsy (medical procedure to remove a piece of tissue and be tested in a laboratory) and was
under the care of a Dermatologist, I pulled myself off the case to prevent conflicting orders between herself
and the Dermatologist. Physician 2 stated that Resident 34 has not been under her care since 2024.
Physician 2 stated, that today (12/11/2025) was her first time providing care for Resident 34 since 2024,
and stated, I saw him because I think he stopped his chemotherapy. During the same interview on
12/11/2025 at 12:10 PM with Physician 2, Physician 2 stated, Resident 34 refused treatment and
measuring today (12/11/2025). Physician 2 stated, Resident 34's right temple and forehead wound does not
look infected, just necrotic and friable (easily crumbled). Physician 2 stated, she would like to cauterize
(seal) the friable edges to stop the bleeding. During the same interview on 12/11/2025 at 12:15 PM with
Physician 2, Physician 2 stated that she would like to get a better idea from the Oncologist of what
Resident 34's goal of care was. Physician 2 stated, in her experience, the cancer growth was like an
iceberg. If it looks bad on the outside, it looks worst on the inside. Physician 2 stated, one of the
complications of this type of cancer was Resident 34's [cancerous] growth will eventually cover the whole
face. Physician 2 stated another complication was the possibility of the cancerous growth inside the body
may grow large enough to push against the brain. During a concurrent interview and record review on
12/11/2025 at 12:30 PM with Physician 2, Resident 34's Order Recap Report from 2023 to 2025 was
reviewed. Physician 2 stated, Resident 34's wound care treatments to cleanse the right and left temporal
open wound with normal saline solution, pat dry, apply xeroform dressing and cover with abdominal pad
and secure the bandage with an elastic bandage were not her physician orders. Physician 2 stated, it was
in her experience and understanding Resident 34's right forehead/temple wound cannot heal with topical
treatment. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 2:00 PM with Physician 1, Physician 1 stated he was the
Medical Director and Resident 34's Attending Physician. Physician 1 stated, Resident 34 was under the
care of an Oncologist and not a Dermatologist because Resident 34 does not have a wound. He has
cancer. Physician 1 stated, Resident 34 was under the care of an Oncologist, who monitored Resident 34's
radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and wound care therapy. Physician 1 stated, Resident 34 does not have
an open wound. He just has facial cancer. During the same interview on 12/12/2025 at 2:15 PM with
Physician 1, Physician 1 stated Resident 34 was being seen by the Wound Care Specialist who does
wound coverage under contract with the facility. Physician 1 stated, Resident 34 had a wound consult back
in February 2025 but there was not much for the consult to do but clean and dress Resident 34's right
forehead/temple wound. Physician 1 stated, Resident 34 was seen by the wound care team, and he
(Physician 1) ordered the standard wound care for Resident 34 to keep the area clean and dry and covered
as Resident 34 would allow. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 2:20 PM with LN 4, LN 4 stated Resident
34 was referred to the Dermatologist in 2024 when his right

forehead/temple area became an open wound, and LN 4 stated it was a wound because there was an
opening between the skin and some drainage. LN 4 stated, she was not aware Physician 2 had pulled
herself off [Resident 34's] case until yesterday [12/11/2025]. LN 4 stated that Physician 2 had told LN 4 that
Physician 2 thought Resident 34 was under management of a Dermatologist since 2024. LN 4 stated, she
had assumed Resident 34's skin and wound care management was under Physician 2 since 2024. During
an interview on 12/12/2025 at 3 PM with LN 4, LN 4 stated, Resident 34 was under the facility's Bioethics
Committee because he does not have any family members and was not capable of making decisions. LN 4
stated, the Bioethics Committee consisted of the DON, Social Services Director (SSD), the Attending
Physician, and the Medical Director. LN 4 stated, the Bioethics Committee coordinated and managed all of
Resident 34's medical care while in the facility. LN 4 stated, she would consider Resident 34's overall
medical management as the lack of communication and collaboration between the Physician 1, Physician
2, and Physician 4. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 11:38 AM with LN 6, LN 6 stated, she was not
aware Physician 2 was not overseeing Resident 34's right forehead/temple wound. LN 6 stated, I thought
[Physician 2] was overseeing Resident 34 because she would see the TXN round with Physician 2 around
the facility and Resident 34 had a wound. During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/15/2025 at
12:15 PM with LN 6, Physician 2's Surgical Notes dated from 4/9/2024 to 5/21/2024 and Resident 34's
Order Recap Report from 2023 to 2025 were reviewed. LN 6 stated, Resident 34 had a wound care consult
ordered on 10/4/2024 and 2/28/2025. LN 6 stated, Physician 2's documented were from 4/9/2024 to
5/21/2024. LN 6 stated, Resident 34 did not have a Wound Care Consult from 5/21/2024 to 12/11/2025,
because Physician 2 was here 4 days ago [12/11/2025] for Resident 34's newest Wound Care Consult
order. LN 6 stated, a wound was defined as an opening in the skin with drainage. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 12/15/2025 at 12:30 PM with LN 6, Physician 4's Follow-up notes dated
7/17/2024, 9/18/2024, 3/26/2025, 4/16/2025, 5/14/2025, 6/4/2025, 6/25/2025, 7/30/2025, and 12/3/2025
were reviewed. LN 6 stated, Physician 4 managed Resident 34's chemotherapy and oncology
management, but Physician 4 did not indicate Resident 34's wound care management or pain
management. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 4:15 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated, Resident 34 had skin cancer and was under the care of the Oncologist. The DON stated, Physician
1 indicated Resident 34 does not have a wound, and stated do not expect it to be treated like a wound
because Resident 34 has facial cancer. The DON stated, Physician 2 stated that Resident 34's right
forehead/temple area was a wound because there was a break in the skin and draining. The DON stated
that the facility's nursing staff had assumed Physician 2 was providing Resident 34 with wound care
management because of the state of Resident 34's right forehead/temple wound. During a review of the
facility's P&P titled Physician Services, dated 4/2013, the P&P indicated that the resident's attending
physician participates in the resident's assessment and care planning, monitoring changes in the resident's
medical status, providing consultation or treatment when called by the facility, and overseeing a relevant
plan of care for the resident.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide sufficient number of staff to provide quality care
that meets the individualized needs of the resident population, in accordance with the facility's policy and
procedures (P&P) titled Staffing, dated August 2022 and as outlined in its Facility Assessment, revised
dated 9/8/2025, by failing to: 1.Provide adequate Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) coverage for the 7:00
AM-3:00 PM, 3:00 PM-11:00 PM, and 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shifts for multiple days in September and
December 2025. 2.Assign a Treatment Nurse (TXN) for two days in September 2025 and two days in
October 2025, as required in accordance with the Facility assessment dated [DATE]. These deficient
practices resulted in inadequate staffing to respond to residents' requests for assistance with Activities of
Daily Living (ADLs) and nursing care in a timely manner for three of three sampled residents (Residents 80,
69, and 34). This failure had the potential to negatively impact other residents' quality of life and feelings of
self-worth. Cross Reference with F697 and F838 Findings: During a review of the facility's P&P titled
Staffing, dated August 2022, the P&P indicated that the facility provides sufficient numbers of nursing staff
with the appropriate skills and competency necessary to provide nursing and related care and services for
all residents. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Staffing, dated August 2022, the P&P indicated that
the staffing numbers and skill required of direct care staff are determined by the needs of the residents
based on each resident's plan of care, the resident assessment, and the facility assessment. 1. During a
review of Resident 80 admission Record (AR), the facility admitted Resident 80 on 11/24/2025 with
diagnoses that included paraplegia (loss of movement and/or sensation, to some degree, of the legs) and
osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) of vertebra, sacral and sacrococcygeal region (lowest part of the back,
tailbone area). During a review of Resident 80's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool),
dated 11/30/2025, Resident 80's cognitive (a resident's thought process) skills were moderately impaired.
The MDS indicated Resident 80 was dependent (helper does all the effort) with ADLs such as toileting and
bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 80 needed substantial assistance (helper does more than half the
effort) when transferring from a lying to sitting position in bed and needed moderate assistance (helper
does less than half the effort) when repositioning self in bed. The MDS indicated Resident 80 had an
ostomy bag (a collection bag outside the body that collects urine or stool). 2.During a review of Resident
69's AR, the facility admitted Resident 69 on 1/16/2025 with diagnoses that included Parkinson's Disease
(a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise
movement) with dyskinesia (involuntary movement) and heart failure (the body cannot pump enough blood
to meet the body's needs). During a review of Resident 69's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated
Resident 69's cognitive skills were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident was dependent on staff
for ADLs such as toileting, showering, and dressing herself. The MDS indicated Resident 39 was
dependent on staff for transferring from a lying position to sitting position and required substantial
assistance when repositioning herself in bed. The MDS indicated Resident 69 had urine and stool
incontinence (loss of control of bladder and bowels). 3. During a review of Resident 34's AR, the facility
admitted Resident 34 on 12/2/2023 and readmitted Resident 34 on 11/22/2025 with diagnoses that
included open wound of right cheek and temporomandibular (area connecting jawbone to skull in front of
the ears) area and squamous cell carcinoma of skin (skin cancer) of other parts of face. During a review of
Resident 34's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 34's cognitive skills were severely impaired.
The MDS indicated Resident 34 required substantial assistance with ADLs such as toileting, showering,
and dressing. The MDS

Resident 80 stated, it took the staff a long time to answer my call-light (a button or touch pad device used to
notify the nursing staff for assistance). Resident 80 stated there were times he had to wait almost 45
minutes for a CNA to respond to his call light. Resident 80 stated, it makes me worried because what if I am
calling for an emergency? It should not take them that long. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:15 PM

12/12/2025 at 4:30 PM with the DSD, the DSD stated, if the facility did not have enough CNAs for each
shift, the facility would handle it internally by asking part-time or per diem CNAs to work; if those CNAs do
not pick up the shift, the department heads such as the Infection Preventionist (IP) or the DSD would fill-in
for short staffing. The DSD stated that there was no contingency plan in place for short staffing on the dates
mentioned in September and December 2025. During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:45 PM with the

staff first to work. The DON stated, if the part-time or per diem nursing staff did not want to work, the facility
will stagger the CNA and LN shifts. The DON stated that she would ask the CNAs or the LNs of the
off-going shift to work an additional two (2) to four (4) hours into the following shift to help the nurses of that
shift. The DON stated she could not speak of the reason why the facility was short staffed on the dates
mentioned in September and December 2025 because she just started working at the facility on 12/1/2025.
During the same interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:55 PM with the DON, the DON stated, the complications of
CNA short staffing may result in not answering call lights and responding to the resident's needs within a
timely manner. The DON stated that the complications of LN short staffing may result in late medications
and late responses to an emergency. During a concurrent record review and interview on 12/12/2025 at
5:00 PM with the DON, the Facility Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, was reviewed. The DON stated, the
Facility Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, was the current assessment the facility was following. The DON
stated, this Facility Assessment did not indicate the CNA or TXN direct nursing care per shift or per unit.
The DON stated that it was missed. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 3:10 PM with CNA 6, CNA 6
stated that she could not recall specific dates, however, she did receive extra assignments on two days.
CNA 6 stated, there were days where she could not finish her tasks within the eight (8) hour shift and
needed to stay past her eight (8) hour shift to complete all her tasks. CNA 6 stated, she heard from other
staff about having a higher workload because one (1) or two (2) staff members did not come to work.
During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 3:50 PM with CNA 7, CNA 7 stated that his assignment may range
from 14 to 21 residents a shift. CNA 7 stated, he could not complete all his tasks within the eight (8) hour
shift and needed to stay past his eight (8) hours to complete all his tasks. CNA 7 stated, this was a frequent
occurrence that happens about one (1) to three (3) times a week. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 12/15/2025 at 4 PM with the DSD, Resident 34's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) and
Nursing Staffing and Sign in Sheet for October 2025 were reviewed. The DSD stated, per the Nursing
Staffing and Sign in Sheet for 10/28/2025 and 10/29/2025, there was no TXN coverage. The DSD stated,
per Resident 34's TAR, there was no documented evidence Resident 34 received his wound care treatment
on 10/28/2025 and 10/29/2025 because there was no TXN coverage to perform the wound/skin treatments
to residents and the Licensed Nurses (LN) did not document the treatment was administered.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one out of one sampled resident
(Resident 74) who had food preferences, was prepared a meal that honored the resident's dislikes when
Resident 74's meal tray included green vegetables. This deficient practice had the potential to cause
Resident 74 to lose his appetite, which could affect the resident's nutritional status. Findings: During a
review of Resident 74's admission Record indicated the resident was originally admitted on [DATE], and
readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), diabetes mellitus
(DM, prolonged elevated blood sugar levels), and malnutrition (a serious condition from an imbalance
(deficiency or excess) of nutrients, including not enough calories, protein, vitamins, or minerals). During a
review of Resident 74's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/10/2025, indicated the resident does have
the capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P indicated that Resident 74 is moderately at risk
for malnutrition. During a review of Resident 74's Minimum Data Set (a resident assessment tool), dated
9/5/2025, indicated that the resident has intact cognition (the ability to process thoughts and emotions). The
MDS also indicated that Resident 74 requires setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up)
when eating. The MDS also indicated that Resident 74 requires a therapeutic diet (a diet that is prescribed
by a physician for a resident) while in the care of the facility. During a review of Resident 74's physician's
orders, dated 12/12/2025, the orders included a dietary order for CCHO (consistent carbohydrate, a diet
that is low in carbohydrates that is often prescribed to people with DM), Regular texture, regular/thin
consistency, dislikes green vegetable, ordered on 9/17/2025. During a review of Resident 74's Nutritional
Screening note, dated 12/5/2025, the note indicated that Resident 74 dislikes green vegetables, fish, and
shellfish. During a review of Resident 74's nutritional status care plan, initiated on 11/28/2024, and revised
on 12/4/2024, the care plan included a goal regarding the resident's nutritional needs for staff to respect the
resident's right to choose. The care plan also included an intervention for staff to honor the resident's food
and drink preferences. During an observation and interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:37 PM, the Director of Staff
Development (DSD) was observed inspecting the residents' meal trays in the meal cart A with Certified
Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2. The DSD stated he is conducting his inspection to ensure residents received
the diet that is prescribed by their physician. During another observation, interview, and concurrent record
review of Resident 74's diet order on 12/9/2025 at 12:47 PM, the DSD stated that he inspected meal cart A,
and that all meal trays contained in meal cart A had the correct diet order for each meal tray. The DSD
instructed CNA 2 that the meal trays were ready to be passed to the residents. The DSD was asked to
reinspect Resident 74's meal tray which contained broccoli and cilantro. The DSD confirmed Resident 74's
diet order indicated the resident disliked green vegetables and that the meal tray needed to be sent back to
the kitchen since the resident's diet preference was not honored. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:50
PM with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated that Resident 74's meal tray should not have contained
any green vegetables, such as broccoli or cilantro. The DS stated Resident 74 dislikes green vegetables
and the facility should have honored the resident's diet preferences. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at
12:52 PM with the DSD, the DSD stated that he made a mistake when he was inspecting the resident's
meal tray. The DSD stated that he did not read Resident 74's the tray card in its entirety because it was
covered by the plate in the meal tray. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 2:11 PM with Kitchen Staff (KS)
1, KS 1 stated she made a mistake when she informed the Kitchen [NAME] (KC) 1 about Resident 74's
meal. KS 1 stated that she

forgot to read Resident 74's food preference to KC 1 because she felt overwhelmed. During an interview on
12/9/2025 at 2:17 PM with KC 1, KC 1 stated that he did not know that he prepares the residents' meal
trays with the help of KS 1. KC 1 stated that he prepares the meal trays based on what KS 1 tells him.
During an interview on 12/11/2025 at 11:05 AM with Resident 74, Resident 74 stated that he hates green
vegetables. Resident 74 stated that whenever he sees green vegetables, he gags and loses his appetite.
Resident 74 added that he does not want to lose his appetite because he wants to eat and not lose weight.
During an interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:52 PM with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated that the
resident's meal preferences such as likes and dislikes must be honored. The DON stated that if the
resident's meal preferences are not honored, the resident may not eat their food which could cause weight
loss. The DON also added that not honoring the resident's meal preferences could cause the resident to
become upset. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Therapeutic Diets, revised
10/2017, the P&P indicated that diets are prescribed by the attending physician to support the resident's
treatment and plan of care and in accordance with his or her goals and preferences. The P&P indicated that
the diet will be determined in accordance with the resident's informed choices, preferences, treatment
goals, and wishes.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's policies
and procedures, titled storage of Food and Supplies, Procedures for Refrigerated Storage, professional
standards of practice on food storage, food service safety, sanitation and handling practices to prevent the
outbreak of foodborne illness (food poisoning) by failing to ensure: 1. Labeled and stored food indicated the
use-by-date or expiration date, including: one-gallon bottle of liquid oil, one-gallon of barbecue sauce, four
opened cans and a dozen of unopened soup base stock powders, and one bulk container in the dry
storage room filled with white powder labeled as Food thickener. 2. Followed appropriate hygiene and
sanitary procedures and did not leave ice scooper uncovered to prevent contamination. 3. Frozen foods
were stored properly, and raw meat were not stored over vegetables. These deficient practices had the
potential to result in food contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria or other germs to food, surfaces, or
utensils) that placed residents at risk for foodborne illness and lead to other serious medical complications
and hospitalization. Findings: During an initial kitchen tour and a concurrent interview on 12/9/2025 from
8:30 AM to 9 AM with the Dietary Service Supervisor (DSS), the following were observed: 1. Ice scoop was
placed on top of a smaller container that did not fit on a cart of juice and coffee machine. Another ice
scooper with attached-lid and broken handle was found underneath the bigger scoop. 2. In the freezer: (a)
A freezer bag of five (5) pieces of tilapia fish filet was stored on top of four (4) packages of frozen spinach.
3. The following were observed in dry storage room: (a) A bulk container filled with powders labeled Food
Thickener with no open-date use-by date. (b) An one-gallon bottle of barbecue sauce with no expiration
date. (c) A one-gallon bottle of yellow liquid with no label of product name and expiration date. (d) A dozen
in an unopened box and four loose cans of soup base powder with no expiration date. 4. On the shelf over
the food preparation counter: (a) One opened can of chicken-flavored and one opened can of beef-flavored
soup base powder with no use-by date or expiration date. During a concurrent interview on12/9/2025 at
9:15 AM, the DSS stated the yellow liquid was corn oil however should have been labeled clearly to prevent
confusion. The DSS stated that dry stored, frozen foods without label or lacking expiration or use-by-date
were considered unsafe for resident's consumption, and storing fish over vegetables in the freezer was
inappropriate and unsafe practice according to Food Code. The DSS stated according to facility policy, the
kitchen staff are required to label and date foods when storing food, and supply be stored properly and in a
safe manner. The DSS stated ice was treated as food and kitchen staff was supposed to follow safe and
sanitary practice and find a clean holder for the ice scoop instead of leaving it on top of the broken-handle
scoop which surface might have been contaminated. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedures
(P&P) titled Storage of Food and Supplies dated in 2023, the P&P indicated the procedures for dry storage:
1. Dry bulk foods (flour, sugar, dry beans, food thickener, spices, etc) should be stored in seamless metal or
plastic containers with tight covers, or in bins which are easily sanitized. Bins/ containers are to be labeled,
covered, and dated. 2. Food stores should be arranged in food groups to facilitate storing, locating, and
taking inventories. Labels should be visible, and the arrangement should permit rotation of supplies so that
oldest items will be used first. All food will be dated- month, day, year. No food will be kept longer than the
expiration date on the product. 3. Dry food items which have been opened, such as pudding, gelatin, biscuit
mix, pancake mix, dry cereal, spices, coffee, noodles, etc., will be tightly closed, labeled, and dated. During
a review of the facility's P&P titled Procedures for Freezer Storage dated in 2023, the P&P indicated that

Conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for
residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and
emergencies.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Facility Assessment tool, dated 12/10/2025, was
updated by failing to indicate the specific staffing needs such as the Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA) and
Treatment Nurse (TXN) for each resident unit in the facility and each shift. This deficient practice had the
potential for the residents not to receive care and treatment services as needed due to inadequate staffing.
Cross Reference with F725 Findings: During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Facility
Assessment, dated October 2018, the P&P indicated that the facility assessment is conducted annually to
determine and update our capacity to meet the needs of and competently care for our residents during
day-to-day operations. During a record review of the facility's Facility Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, the
Facility Assessment indicated the following: - For the 7 AM to 3 PM shift, 1 Registered Nurse (RN)/Desk
nurse to 3 Charge Nurses - For the 3 PM to 11 PM shift, 1 RN/Desk Nurse to 3 Charge Nurses - For the 11
PM to 7 AM shift, 1 RN/Desk Nurse to 2 Charge nurses During a record review of the facility's Facility
Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, the Facility Assessment did not indicate the facility's Staffing Plan for the
number of Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) for the 7AM to 3PM, 3 PM to 11 PM, and the 11 PM to 7 AM
shifts. During a concurrent record review and interview on 12/12/2025 at 12:00 PM, with the Administrator
(ADM), the Administrator provided the Facility assessment dated [DATE]. The ADM stated that the Facility
Assessment provided on Entrance, dated 9/8/2025, was out of date. The ADM stated, the Facility
Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, was the most current and comprehensive Facility Assessment up to date.
During a concurrent record review and interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:08 PM with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD), the previous Facility Assessment, dated 9/8/2025, was reviewed. The DSD stated the
Facility Assessment, dated 9/8/2025, indicated there should be one (1) TXN, 11 CNAs for the 7 AM to 3 PM
shift, 9 CNAs for the 3 PM to 11 PM shift, and 6 CNAs for the 11 PM to 7 AM shift. During a concurrent
record review and interview on 12/12/2025 at 4:20 PM with the DSD, the Facility Assessment, dated
12/10/2025, was reviewed. The DSD stated that the Facility Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, did not indicate
the number of CNAs per shift nor did it indicate the number of TXN for the facility. During a concurrent
record review and interview on 12/12/2025 at 5:00 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the Facility
Assessment, dated 12/10/2025, was reviewed. The DON stated, the Facility Assessment, dated
12/10/2025, was the current assessment the facility was following. The DON stated, this Facility
Assessment did not indicate the CNA or TXN direct nursing care per shift or per unit. The DON stated that it
was missed.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain medical records that are accurately documented
for one of six residents sampled for accurate documentation (Resident 54). Specifically, Resident 54's
treatment administration record indicated that wound care was provided at a time inconsistent with actual
delivery of care. This deficient practice had the potential to compromise continuity of care by inadequately
documenting tasks that were or were not completed. Findings: During a review of Resident 54's admission
Record, the record indicated Resident 54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Alzheimer's Disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), and failure to thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional
impairments which can cause weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity). During a
review of Resident 54's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/5/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 54 had severely impaired cognition (profound decline in mental abilities-such as
memory, attention, and reasoning-that results in full dependence on others for basic daily activities). The
MDS also indicated Resident 54 was fully dependent on staff (helper does all of the effort) for all cares such
as personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, and dressing. During a review of Resident 54's Order Summary

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 inspect and ensure that a dressing was in
place on the gastric tube (g-tube: a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be
administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems) of one of two residents
(Resident 54) sampled for g-tube dressings. This failure placed Resident 54 at risk of developing an
infection at her g-tube site and had the potential to cause the g-tube to become dislodged, further leading
to hospitalization. Findings: During a review of Resident 54's admission Record, the record indicated
Resident 54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease (a disease
characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and failure to
thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional impairments which can cause weight loss,
decreased appetite, poor nutrition, and inactivity). During a review of Resident 54's Minimum Data Set
(MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 12/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 54 had severely impaired
cognition (profound decline in mental abilities-such as memory, attention, and reasoning-that results in full
dependence on others for basic daily activities). The MDS also indicated Resident 54 was fully dependent
on staff (helper does all of the effort) for all cares such as personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, and dressing.
During a review of Resident 54's care plan titled G-tube Feeding Care Plan, dated 12/4/2025, the care plan
indicated a goal for the resident's insertion site to be free of signs and symptoms of infection. The care plan
further indicated interventions for g-tube stoma site (a surgically created opening on the body's surface)
cleanse with NS (Normal Saline: a sterile, salt water solution used to help clean wounds), pat dry, apply
T-drain sponge (a type of dressing) initiated on 1/28/2025. During a review of Resident 54's Order
Summary Report (OSR: a list of instructions from a licensed medical provider that authorize specific
treatments, tests, medications, or services for a resident, serving as the legal and clinical basis for
delivering care) dated 12/11/2025, the report indicated an order for: 1. g-tube stoma site cleanse with NS,
pat dry, apply vitamin A and D ointment (a skin protectant used to help heal minor cuts, burns, and dry or
irritated skin) and gauze around tubing below bumper then T-drain sponge every day shift ordered on
12/3/2025. 2. Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP: precautions that require the use of gowns and gloves
during high-contact care to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms [MDRO: bacteria or fungi
resistant to multiple types of antimicrobial drugs, making them difficult to treat and often causing severe
infections) due to indwelling medical device (a medical tool designed to stay inside the body for a
period-either temporarily or long-term-to drain fluids, deliver medication, support a function, or monitor a
condition, helping patients manage issues like urinary retention or provide IV access, though they require
careful infection control): G-tube and wounds ordered on 12/10/2025. During an observation on 12/9/2025
at 2:55 PM in Resident 54's room, Resident 54's abdomen was observed to have an abdominal binder (a
stretchy support belt worn around the stomach to help protect a g-tube site by covering it securely and
preventing the resident from pulling or dislodging the tube). Underneath the abdominal binder, the g-tube
site was observed without a dressing, and the abdominal binder was rubbing directly onto the stoma site.
Resident 54's feed tubing (the plastic tube that connects the tube feeds to the resident's g-tube) was
connected and infusing to the resident's g-tube. During an interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 on
12/9/2025 at 3:00 PM, LN 1 stated that the treatment nurse (TXN) was responsible for changing g-tube
dressings in the facility, however there was no treatment nurse available during the day. LN 1 stated she
was not aware that Resident 54's g-tube site did not have a dressing and was unaware of how long the
dressing was off since she had not assessed Resident

there was no TXN available, the LN assigned to the resident was responsible for assessing and changing
the g-tube dressing. TXN 2 stated it was important to ensure there was a dressing in place to prevent the
site from becoming infected, further stating that the resident could develop sepsis (a life-threatening blood
infection) and become hospitalized . During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/12/2025
at 2:05 PM, the DON stated LNs were expected to visually inspect the g-tube site every shift as part of their
daily assessment. The DON stated that it was important to ensure the g-tube site was covered with a
dressing to prevent the resident from developing an infection with an Multidrug-Resistant Organisms. The
DON further stated Enhanced Barrier Precautions were ordered for residents with indwelling devices such
as g-tubes specifically to prevent MDRO infections. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P) titled Gastrostomy/Jejunostomy Site Care, dated October 2011, the P&P indicated to assess the
stoma site for signs of redness, pain or soreness, or drainage and the purposes of this procedure are to
promote cleanliness and to protect the gastrostomy. site from irritation, breakdown, and infection.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the pneumococcal vaccine (PCV2) as required and
appropriate for three of five residents sampled for immunizations (Resident 68, Resident 42, and Resident
66) when: 1. Resident 68 was not consented for the PCV20 vaccine five days after admission into the
facility as per the facility's policy and procedure (P&P). 2. Resident 42 was consented for the PCV20
vaccine but not administered the vaccine within 30 days of admission into the facility as per the facility's
P&P. 3. Resident 66 was consented for PCV20 vaccine but was not administered the vaccine within 30 days
of admission into the facility as per the facility's P&P. This deficient practice had the potential to result in
Resident 68, Resident 42, and Resident 66 contracting, transmitting, and experiencing complications
related to pneumococcal diseases such as pneumonia (an infection in the lungs), meningitis (inflammation
of brain and spinal cord membranes), and sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection). Findings: 1. During a
review of Resident 68's admission Record, the record indicated that Resident 68 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses including emphysema (a chronic lung disease in which the air sacs in the lungs
are damaged, causing difficulty in breathing and reduced oxygen exchange) and diabetes mellitus (DM: a
disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of
Resident 68's undated Vaccine Consent Form, the consent form indicated Resident 68 or her responsible
party had not been consented for PCV20. During a review of Resident 68's California Immunization
Registry 2 (CAIR2: a secure, statewide registry that stores vaccination records and helps healthcare
providers track and report immunizations), the CAIR2 indicated Resident 68 had not been administered the
PCV20 vaccine. 2. During a review of Resident 42's admission record, the record indicated Resident 42
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hypertension (HTN: high blood pressure)
and schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought). During a review of
Resident 42's Vaccine Consent Form dated 12/5/2025, the consent form indicated Resident 68 consented
to receive the PCV20 vaccine. During a review of Resident 42's CAIR2, the CAIR2 indicated Resident 42
had not been administered the PCV20 vaccine. 3. During a review of Resident 66's admission Record, the
record indicated Resident 66 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and kidney failure. During a review of Resident 66's Vaccine
Consent Form dated 12/5/2025, the consent form indicated Resident 66 was consented to receive the
PCV20 vaccine. During a review of Resident 66's CAIR2, the CAIR2 indicated Resident 66 had not been
administered the PCV20 vaccine. During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 12/11/2025 at
2:59 PM, the IP stated she was newly hired into the facility with no proper endorsement of immunization
surveillance and tracking from the previous IP, therefore she had to start a new log for tracking. The IP
further stated that residents who are admitted to the facility should be assessed for vaccine eligibility,
consented, and administered the vaccine per the facility's policy. The IP further stated that it was important
to properly track the residents' vaccination status because residents who did not receive their vaccines
were at risk of developing illnesses such as pneumonia and could be hospitalized . During a review of the
facility's P&P titled Pneumococcal Vaccine dated October 2019, the P&P indicated that prior to or upon
admission, residents will be assessed for eligibility to receive the pneumococcal vaccine series, and when
indicated, will be offered the vaccine series within 30 days of admission to the facility unless medically
contraindicated or the resident has already been vaccinated. The P&P further indicated assessments of
pneumococcal vaccination status will be conduction within five days working days of admission if not
conducted prior to admission.

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to: 1. Provide the COVID -19 vaccine as required and
appropriate for one of five residents sampled for immunizations (Resident 66) when Resident 66 consented
to receive the COVID-19 vaccine but was not administered the vaccine. 2. Failed to maintain documentation
related to staff COVID-19 vaccination status when the newly hired Infection Preventionist (IP) was not
endorsed a list of staff members immunized or consented for the COVID-19 vaccine. This deficient practice
had the potential to result in the facility's staff and residents contracting, transmitting, and experiencing
complications related to COVID-19 such as difficulty breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, or
diarrhea. Findings: During a review of Resident 66's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 66
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities) and kidney failure. During a review of Resident 66's Vaccine Consent Form dated
12/5/2025, the consent form indicated Resident 66 was consented to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. During
a review of Resident 66's CAIR2, the CAIR2 indicated Resident 66 had not been administered the
COVID-19 vaccine for 2025-2026. During an interview with the IP on 12/11/2025 at 2:59 PM, the IP stated
she was newly hired into the facility with no proper endorsement of immunization surveillance and tracking
from the previous IP, therefore she had to start a new log for tracking. The IP further stated that residents
who are admitted to the facility should be assessed for vaccine eligibility, consented, and administered the
vaccine per the facility's policy. During an interview with the IP on 12/12/2025 at 10:18 AM, the IP stated
she did not have a list of staff members who consented to receive, or had been administered, the
COVID-19 vaccine for 2025 - 2026 because she was not endorsed a list from the facility's previous IP. The
IP further stated that the previous IP should have been maintaining an updated list of vaccination records
for staff so that staff and residents were protected from contracting or spreading the coronavirus. During a
review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) - Vaccination of
Residents dated June 2022, the P&P indicated COVID-19 vaccine education, documentation, and reporting
are overseen by the infection preventionist and coordinated by his or her designee. The P&P further
indicated that each resident is offered the COVID-19 vaccine unless the immunization is medically
contraindicated or the resident has already been immunized.

least 80 square feet (sq.ft, unit of measure) per resident in five (5) of 36 rooms (Rooms 31, 32, 33, 34, and
35 with six beds in each room) in the facility in accordance with the facility's policies and procedures (P&P)
titled Bedrooms, dated May 2017. This deficient practice had the potential to have a negative impact on the
care and services of the facility's staff to provide safe nursing care and privacy to the residents. Findings:
During a review of the facility's request for an additional room waiver, dated 12/9/2025, the room waiver
indicated Resident Rooms 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 were approximately 4378.56 sq.ft. The room waiver
indicated the rooms were designed for adequate nursing care and the comfort and privacy of the resident.
The room waiver indicated that the residents who occupy the rooms have the same required equipment
and furniture as the rest of the residents within the facility. The room waiver indicated there was no negative
outcomes from the number of residents in each room. During a review of the Client Accommodation
Analysis form, dated 12/9/2025, submitted by the facility on 12/9/2025, the form indicated there were five
(5) rooms that did not measure 80 sq. feet per resident as listed below: 1. room [ROOM NUMBER] - 437.56
sq ft with six (6) beds and six (6) occupied beds 2. room [ROOM NUMBER] - 437.56 sq ft with six (6) beds
and five (5) occupied beds 3. room [ROOM NUMBER] - 437.56 sq ft with six (6) beds and six (6) occupied
beds 4. room [ROOM NUMBER] - 437.56 sq ft with six (6) beds and five (5) occupied beds 5. room [ROOM
NUMBER] - 437.56 sq ft with six (6) beds and five (5) occupied beds The required total sq.ft for Rooms 31 35 was 480 sq. ft. During the survey, multiple observations from 12/9/2025 to 12/12/2025 were conducted
at random times from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The residents in Rooms 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 were observed
to have adequate room for the operation and use of the wheelchairs (a chair fitted with wheels for use as a
means of transport by a person who is unable to walk as a result of illness, injury, or disability), walkers (a
device that provides additional support to maintain balance or stability while walking), or canes. The room
variance did not affect the care and services provided to the residents when nursing staff were observed
providing care for the residents. During an interview 12/10/2025 at 10:40 AM with the Administrator (ADM),
the ADM stated there have been no complaints from the residents, resident's families, and facility staff
about the room size of Rooms 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. During a concurrent observation and interview on
12/11/2025 at 9:15 AM in Resident 1's room, there were six (6) available beds with six (6) occupied beds.
Resident 1 stated that he liked his room and there was enough space in his room. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 12/11/2025 at 9:33 AM in Resident 8's room, there were six (6) available beds
with five (5) occupied beds. Resident 8 stated that he had all of his things such as his wheelchair, his
laptop, his bedside table, and his clothes in his space and his closet. During a concurrent observation and
interview on 12/11/2025 at 9:39 AM in Resident 19's room, there were six (6) available beds with five (5)
occupied beds. Resident stated that he liked his room, and he had no issues with the space or his
roommates. During an interview on 12/11/20205 at 9:43 AM with Licensed Nurse (LN) 6, LN 6 stated that
she had residents assigned in Rooms 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. LN 6 stated, most of the residents were
bedbound but some of the residents were ambulatory and had enough space to use their front wheel
walkers (FWW, mobility aid with two wheels in the front) or their wheelchairs. LN 6 stated, the staff will
move equipment such as beds a little bit to make room for residents using a wheelchair to go out of the
room and then the staff will move the bed back to its original position. During an interview on 12/11/2025 at
10:00 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 5, CNA 5 stated that she had residents in
