F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an informed consent for psychotropic medication (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) was obtained in accordance with the facility's policy and procedures for one of five sampled residents (Resident 4). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice placed Resident 4 at risk for experiencing unexpected and/or unwanted adverse effects or complications of the medication, including increased cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgment, and make decisions), over sedation (excessive drowsiness, loss of response to verbal command, inappropriate movement, hearing abnormalities, visual disturbances, sweating, or nausea), and tardive dyskinesia (a chronic movement disorder that causes involuntary, repetitive movements in the body). Findings: During a review of Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 4's admitting diagnoses included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), cognitive communication deficit (a disorder in which a person has difficulty communicating because of injury to the brain that controls the ability to think), generalized muscle weakness, and major depressive disorder (a mental health condition characterized by persistent sadness, a loss of interest or pleasure in activities, and a range of other symptoms). During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 4/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4 had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 4 was independent with mobility while in and out of bed. During a review of Resident 4's History and Physical (H&P), dated 2/7/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 4 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 4's medical record titled Informed Consent - Informed Consent for Use of Psychotropic Medication, dated 1/17/2025, the record indicated Physician Assistant (PA) 1 signed the form to indicate he obtained an in-person informed consent for the administration of Lexapro 5 milligram (mg, a unit of dose measurement) every day for Resident 4, and indicated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 signed the document verifying in-person informed consent was obtained by PA 1. The record indicated Resident 4's Responsible Party (RP) 2 did not sign or date the document to indicate she provided informed consent for the administration of Lexapro. During a review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 1/1/2025 to (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0552 1/31/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 4 received 31 doses of Lexapro. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During a review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 2/1/2025 to 2/28/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 4 received 28 doses of Lexapro. Residents Affected - Few During a review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 3/1/2025 to 3/31/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 4 received 31 doses of Lexapro. During a review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 4/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 4 received 30 doses of Lexapro. During an interview on 05/21/2025 at 9:58 a.m., with Resident 4's RP 2, RP 2 stated she made medical decisions for and provided consents on behalf of Resident 4. RP 2 stated an unidentified facility staff told her Lexapro (a medication used to treat depression) was ordered, and stated it was not a physician, nurse practitioner (NP), or PA that she spoke with. RP 2 stated, aside from the name of the medication and the indication for the medication, no one from the facility explained any potential side effects or potential complications of the Lexapro. RP 2 stated she had never talked to a physician, NP, or PA related to Resident 4's use of Lexapro. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/21/2025 at 12:23 p.m., with LVN 1, Resident 4's record titled Informed Consent - Informed Consent for Use of Psychotropic Medication, dated 1/17/2025, was reviewed. LVN 1 stated the record did not indicate RP 2 provided informed consent for the administration of Lexapro. LVN 1 stated obtaining informed consent was important because psychotropic medications were high risk, especially for elderly residents (individuals over the age of 65). LVN 1 stated psychotropic medication, such as Lexapro, could cause sedation, falls, and accidents. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/22/2025 at 10:30 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Verifications of Informed Consent for Psychotherapeutic Medications, revised 6/2024 was reviewed. The DON stated the P&P indicated each resident had the right to provide informed consent for treatment with psychotherapeutic drugs. The DON stated the P&P indicated staff were to obtain a written informed consent for treatment and a consent renewal every six (6) months, which would be recorded in the record. The DON stated it was important to get informed consent for the administration of the Lexapro to ensure RP 2 agreed with and was aware of the potential adverse effects of the ordered medication.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. 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 information related to Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC, a document that informs Medicare beneficiaries when their covered services are ending) and Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNFABN, a document that informs beneficiaries about potential non-coverage for specific items or services and informs beneficiaries they may have to pay for the service out-of-pocket), to one of three sampled residents (Resident 98), who was self-responsible and had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice removed Resident 98's right to file an appeal if he disagreed with the discontinued coverage, including rehabilitation services (i.e., physical therapy [the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods rather than by drugs or surgery]). Findings: During a review of Resident 98's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 98 was admitted on [DATE]. Resident 98's admitting diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait (walking) and mobility, and lack of coordination. During a review of Resident 98's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 3/12/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 98 did not have cognitive impairments (a decline in mental processes like memory, attention, language, and reasoning). The MDS indicated Resident 98 required supervision or touch assistance from staff to perform activities of daily living (ADLs, activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During an interview on 5/22/2025 at 1:03 p.m. with the Business Office Manager (BOM), the BOM stated the purpose of the SNFABN and NOMNC were to notify the resident (or resident representative [RP]) that Medicare would no longer pay for services and allowed the resident or RP to file an appeal if they felt they still need skilled nursing services. The BOM stated that if the resident was alert and had decision making capacity, she provided the SNFABN and NOMNC notices directly to the resident, unless the resident preferred the notice to be provided to an alternative RP. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 5/22/2025 at 1:05 p.m., with the BOM, Resident 98's History and Physical (H&P) dated 3/10/2025, and SNAFBN and NOMNC dated 4/25/2025, were reviewed. The BOM stated the H&P indicated Resident 98 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. The BOM stated the SNAFBN and NOMNC indicated that the notices were explained to Resident 98's son who made the decision to forfeit the appeal process for continued Medicare coverage. The BOM stated this decision should have been made by Resident 98. The BOM stated forfeiture of the appeal meant Resident 98 would be under custodial care. The BOM stated this meant Resident 98's rehabilitative services were discontinued. The BOM stated rehabilitative services were important in facilitating the resident's safe discharge back into the community. During an interview on 5/22/2025 at 1:33 p.m., with Resident 98, Resident 98 stated his son was not involved in his medical care. Resident 98 stated he never asked the facility to involve his son in his care or allow his son to make any healthcare decisions on his behalf.

F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the proper use of side rails (short rails on one or both sides of the bed that can be used to assist in bed mobility) for two of two sampled residents (Residents 10 and 68) by failing to: 1. Ensure Resident 10 had grab bars (short side rails used to assist in bed mobility), instead of half side rails (longer side rails attached to the side of the bed, covering about half the length of the bed), were installed onto the bed. This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 10 unable to optimally utilize the half side rails in turning and repositioning in bed. 2. Ensure Resident 68 had an order for grab bars. 3. Obtain informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) from Responsible Party (RP) 1, for Resident 68's grab bars, immediately upon Resident 68's readmission to the facility. These deficient practices had the potential to result in the unsafe usage of grab bars and for RP 1 being unaware of the installment of grab bars and unable to make an informed decisions of its utilization. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 10's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 10 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included traumatic brain injury ([TBI], a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head) and functional quadriplegia (paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, without any underlying injury or damage to the spinal cord). During a review of Resident 10's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 4/1/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 10's cognitive skills (process of thinking) for daily decision making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 10 had impairment on both sides of his upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and lower extremities (hip, knee, ankle, foot). The MDS indicated Resident 10 was dependent on staff's assistance with oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and rolling left and right. During a review of Resident 10's History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/19/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 10 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During an observation on 5/19/2025 at 10:55 a.m., in Resident 10's room, Resident 10 was lying in bed and had bilateral (both sides) half side rails on the bed.

Resident 72 took one pill out and placed it in his mouth and swallowed it. Resident 72 stated he swallowed a pill for his anxiety. Resident 72 stated he took these pills all the time. Resident 72 stated it was safe for him to take this medication because his physician prescribed it. During an interview on 5/21/2025 at 12:13 p.m. with Resident 72, in Resident 72's room, Resident 72 stated he still had his medications in his dresser and he took his medications when he needed them. Resident 72 stated staff knew he had these medications because he was not hiding them, they were displayed on his dresser. During an interview on 5/21/2025 at 2:48 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated residents are not allowed to keep medications at their bedside, even over the counter medications (medications that can be purchased without a prescription) are not acceptable. LVN 2 stated it was unsafe for residents to keep medications at their bedside because they can overdose on those medications or their roommates can take the medication. LVN 2 stated nurses must be informed of all the medications residents take to prevent adverse effects. LVN 2 stated if a resident took medication without informing the licensed staff it could negatively interact with administered medication. LVN 2 stated it was unsafe practice to have residents with mediations at their bedside. During an interview on 5/21/2025 at 3:12 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, RN 2 stated residents were not allowed to keep medications at their bedside. RN 2 stated if medications were discovered at a resident's bedside they must be removed immediately and inform the resident they could only take medication administered by a licensed nurse. RN 2 stated it was all of the staff's responsibility to make sure residents did not have medications at their bedside. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/21/2025 at 3:36 p.m. with RN 2, in Resident 72's room, there was a medication bottle of Atarax and Diovan observed in the resident's dresser drawer and a medication bottle of Adderall on top of the dresser. RN 2 removed the bottles from the dresser and stated she did not know Resident 72 kept these medications at his bedside and it was an unsafe practice. RN 2 stated someone should have caught this and removed medications from Resident 72's bedside. RN 2 stated it was a possibility that Resident 72 took his medication and received the same medication from the licensed nurses which could have caused an overdose of the medication. During an interview on 5/22/2025 at 1:42 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated residents were not allowed to keep medications at their bedside because there was a risk of side effects, toxicity and a potential interaction with administered medication. The DON stated it was not safe for Resident 72 to self-administer his medication and he never requested to self-administer medications. The DON stated there was no reason why Resident 72 should have medications at his bedside. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Medication Storage in the Facility, undated, the P&P indicated medication supply was accessible only to licensed nursing personnel, pharmacy personnel, or staff members lawfully authorized to administer mediations. During a review of facility's P&P titled Medication Administration, dated 4/2019, the P&P indicated resident may self-administer their own medications only if the attending physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, had determined resident had the decision-making capacity to do so safely.

Not ensuring Resident 19 received a regular diet during mealtime. This deficient practice did not meet Residents 19's individual needs and placed resident 19 to feel unsatisfied with the meal. Findings: During a review of Resident 19's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 19 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 19's diagnoses included hypertensive heart disease (caused by persistently high blood pressure, causes chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles, and palpitations) and malignant neoplasm (abnormal growth of cells that can spread to other parts of the body and cause harm) of the colon (longest part of the large intestine). During a review of Resident 19's History and Physical (H&P) dated 4/25/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 19 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 3/20/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 19's cognitive skills for daily decision making was intact (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 19 required supervision for eating, oral hygiene, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 19 required maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for showering/bathing, lower body dressing and putting on and taking off shoes. During a review of Residents 19's Order Summary Report, dated 4/24/2025, the order summary report indicated Resident 19 had an order for regular diet (a balanced diet with no special restrictions or modifications) and regular texture (textures of foods commonly consumed by individuals with no increased risk of choking or swallowing difficulties, and who have no difficulty chewing). During a review of Resident 19's Nutritional Assessment, dated 4/29/2025, the assessment indicated Resident 19 was on a regular diet and regular texture. The Nutritional assessment indicated Resident 19's nutritional risks were altered nutrition and poor intake. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/21/2025 at 1230 p.m., in Resident 19's room, Resident 19 received a food tray with ground meat. Resident 19 stated she did not know why she received her meat in that texture. Resident 19 stated she did not want to eat the meat that was served to her because she preferred regular texture food. Resident 19 questioned why she received ground meat and asked if this was a new diet change that she was not informed of. Resident 19 stated she had no problem chewing or swallowing and she did not want the ground meat because the ground meat was for residents that had issues with chewing and swallowing. Resident 19 stated she preferred to eat the big chunks of meat that was served for the regular texture diet.

F 0805 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assistant (CNA) 5, in Resident 19's room, observed CNA 5 review Resident 19's dietary card (communication tool used to inform healthcare professionals, chefs, or food service staff about a person's specific dietary needs, restrictions, or allergies) and stated Resident 19's ordered diet was regular with regular texture. CNA 5 stated the meat that was on Resident 19's plate was for a mechanical soft diet (texture-modified diet, typically prescribed for individuals with difficulty chewing or swallowing) and not for a regular texture diet. CNA 5 stated the meat was for a mechanical soft diet because it was chopped up into small pieces. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/21/2025 at 12:43 p.m. with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), in Resident 19's room, the DS observed Resident 19's food tray and stated Resident 19 had been served ground meat which was for a mechanical soft diet. The DS stated Resident 19 was ordered to receive a regular texture diet. The DS stated it was a mistake that Resident 19 received ground meat and Resident 19 should have received the cubed meat instead. The DS stated it was important to serve Resident 19 the correct food texture to provide her dignity during her mealtimes. The DS stated Resident 19 was able to chew and swallow and there was no reason to serve her ground meat. During an interview on 5/21/2025 at 3:02 p.m. with Licensed Vocational (LVN) 2, LVN 2 stated all food delivered to the residents was checked by the dietary department, licensed nurses, and CNAs. LVN 2 stated everyone was responsible for checking the residents' dietary cards and making sure it matched with the food residents received. LVN 2 stated staff must check if the resident received the correct diet, correct texture, correct liquid consistency and for allergies. During an interview on 5/21/2025 at 3:29 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 2, RN stated all food delivered to residents must be checked because all residents have different diets and textures that potentially pose a safety concern. RN 2 stated a resident with a regular texture diet should not receive a mechanical soft diet because they do not need their food in smaller sizes to chew or swallow. RN 2 stated a resident on regular texture diet would feel degraded if they received food cut into small pieces. RN 2 stated it was important for all residents to receive the ordered diet for their dignity. During an interview on 5/22/2025 at 3:00 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was not acceptable to serve a resident a mechanical soft diet when they are ordered to receive a regular texture diet because it would affect their psychosocial needs. The DON stated Resident 19 could potentially think her health was deteriorating and that was the reason why her food was not regular texture. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Therapeutic Diets, dated 2001, the P&P indicated therapeutics diets are prescribed by the attending physician to support the resident's treatment and plan of care and in accordance with residents' goals and preferences.
