What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 20 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow the facility's policy on Advance Directives (AD, a legal document that informs healthcare providers what kind of care a person would want to receive if the individual was unable to speak for self) to ensure a current copy of a resident's AD was in the medical chart for one of three sampled resident (Resident 288). This failure had the potential for Resident 288's AD to not be followed by the facility staff. Findings: During a review of Resident 288's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 288 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (UTI, occurs when bacteria enters the urethra [tube through which urine leaves the body] and multiply), hyperlipidemia (high levels of cholesterol in the blood), and constipation (stool becomes hard and difficult to pass). During a review of Resident 288's History and Physical (H&P, formal document of a medical provider's examination of a patient) dated 5/8/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 288 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time. The H&P indicated Resident 288 had both an Advance Directive and Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST, form completed by a physician that gives people with serious illnesses control over own care by specifying types of medical treatment the individual would want to receive during serious illness. A POLST does not replace an AD but provides guidance for healthcare providers in the case of an emergency). During a review of Resident 288's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 5/20/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 288's cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and process information) were intact. During a review of Resident 288's Advance Directive/POLST Acknowledgement form (ADPA), dated 5/8/2024, the ADPA form indicated Resident 288 had executed an AD or POLST form and AD was circled out in the ADPA form. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/5/2024 at 11:14 AM with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 288's ADPA form was reviewed. The ADPA form indicated Resident 288 had executed an AD or a POLST form. SSD stated the ADPA form for Resident 288 was not specific if the resident had an AD or a POLST. SSD stated the ADPA form should be specific because the resident's AD form could be missed. SSD stated a current copy of the AD form was not in Resident 288's medical chart and (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few only a copy of the POLST was listed in the medical chart. SSD stated the risk of not having a current copy of the AD was that the wishes of the resident would not be respected if the AD was different from the POLST. SSD stated the ADPA form should specify if the resident had a POLST or AD so staff could inform the resident of the right to create an AD. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:33 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated an AD needed to be placed in the front of each resident's medical chart. The DON stated if the AD was not placed in Resident 288's chart, the risk was that Resident 288's wishes would not be honored. During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Advance Directives the P&P indicated prior to or upon admission of a resident, the SSD or designee will inquire of the resident, his/her family members and or his or her legal representatives about the existence of any written advance directives. The P&P indicated information about whether the resident has executed an AD shall be displayed prominently in the medical record.

F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide privacy during a bed bath to one of one sampled resident (Resident 28.) Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to cause embarrassment and lowered self-esteem for Resident 28. Findings: During a review of Resident 28's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/10/2023, with diagnoses that included dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning) and epilepsy (brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures (convulsions) over time). During a review of Resident 28's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 1/24/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had moderately impaired cognition (ability to understand). The MDS indicated Resident 28 was dependent with showers, self-bathing and toileting and required moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance with bed mobility. During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 10:03 am to 10:30 am, Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6) gave Resident 28 a bed bath. CNA 6 started the procedure by removing Resident 28's clothes. There was a blanket covering the lower part of the resident's body. CNA 6 washed Resident 28's face, neck, chest, abdomen and under the breast and dried the areas with a towel. CNA 6 then removed the blanket covering the lower part of the resident's body and removed Resident 28's adult brief. Resident 28's upper body was not covered while CNA 6 washed the resident's perineal area using the same water used to wash Resident 28's upper body. Resident 28 was still not covered when CNA 6 asked Resident 28 to turn to wash the resident's back. Resident 28 was still not covered when another CNA entered the room to go to Resident 28's roommate's bed. The privacy curtain separating Resident 28 and Resident 28's roommate was open. During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:31 am, CNA 6 stated Resident 28 was exposed during the time CNA 6 washed other areas of Resident 28's body and when another CNA entered the room. CNA 6 stated she needed to close the curtain on the other side even if the roommate was not present so Resident 28 would not be exposed in case someone entered the room. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Giving a Bed Bath, the P&P indicated to wash only one part of the body at a time. Wash, rinse, and dry each part well. Cover each area as you complete the procedure. The P&P indicated to change the bath water as often as necessary during the bath, before washing the legs, back and FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056117 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 44 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 056117 B.

F 0640 Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to transmit assessments within 14 days of completion for 23 of 23 sampled residents (Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52, 56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80). Residents Affected - Some This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate facility information submitted to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, federal agency that works with the health care community to improve quality, equity, and outcomes in the health care system) and would affect the quality of care to the residents. Findings: During record review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool) 3.0 Final Validation Report, the MDS 3.0 Final Validation Report indicated it was submitted on 6/6/2024 for Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52, 56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80. During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 8:46 AM with the MDS Nurse, the MDS Nurse stated the Assistant Administrator (AADM) was responsible for transmitting the MDS assessments to CMS. During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 9:22 AM with the AADM, the AADM stated the AADM was part of the MDS staff and stated MDS assessments for 23 residents (Residents 1, 4, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52, 56, 61, 62, 70, 71, 72, 78, 79, and 80) were not transmitted within the 14 days of completion. The AADM stated each resident would have a different due date based on the type of assessment. The AADM stated the risk of not submitting the MDS assessments timely would create inaccurate information and could affect the facility star rating and quality. AADM stated the AADM did not realize the MDS assessments were due for 23 residents and missed the transmission due dates. During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 1:28 PM with the AADM, the AADM stated the facility has not trained other MDS staff on how to transmit MDS assessments to CMS. During a review of the facility's undated policy and procedure (P&P), the P&P indicated MDS staff were responsible for transmitting MDS data timely in accordance with the MDS RAI Instruction Manual.

F 0676 Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed implement its policy and procedure (P&P) on Translation and Interpretation services to ensure needs and questions from the resident with limited English proficiency (LEP) were addressed by staff for one of one sampled resident (Resident 289). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to not meet Resident 289's needs. Findings: During a review of Resident's 289 admission Record (AR) the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 289 on 5/10/2024 with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (bone in front of the spine collapsing forming a wedge shape) of first lumbar vertebra (bones in spine to provide support to the body), unspecified hearing loss, and a history of falling. During a review of Resident 289's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's examination of a patient) dated 5/11/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 289 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 289's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 5/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 289's preferred language was Chinese. During a review of Resident 289's untitled care plan (CP), dated 5/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 289 had a communication problem related to being hard of hearing. The CP intervention indicated for staff to assess for adequate communication. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:29 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) in Resident 289's room, Resident 289 called out in Spanish, Enfermera as LVN 1 walked out of Resident 289's room. LVN 1 stated Resident 289 was calling for a family member and stated Resident 289 spoke Chinese and Spanish languages. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 pointed to body parts to communicate to Resident 289 when passing medications. LVN 1 stated there was no way to ensure Resident 289 would understand the purpose of the medication if LVN 1 pointed to various body parts. LVN 1 stated there was no communication board at the bedside to communicate simple phrases to Resident 289. LVN 1 stated Resident 289's need would not be met if there were no tools to help communicate with the resident in a language the resident can understand. During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 9:32 AM with the Activities Director (AD), the AD stated the facility had four communication boards in Spanish, Arabic, Filipino, and Mandarin. The AD stated the AD was responsible for passing out the boards to residents who cannot communicate in English and the communication boards needed to be at the bedside. The AD stated residents and staff would not be able to communicate with each other and resident's needs would not be met if the communication boards were not at the bedside, readily available to use. During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Translation and/or Interpretation of Facility Services the P&P indicated the facility would ensure that individuals with LEP would have meaningful access to information and services provided by the facility. The P&P indicated the facility required LEP resident's needs and questions were accurately communicated to the staff.

F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to answer the call light and provide assistance to a resident in a timely manner in accordance with the resident's care plan (CP) and the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) on answering call lights, for one of one sampled resident (Resident 289). Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in fall or injury to Resident 289 who had a history of falling. Findings: During a review of Resident's 289 admission Record (AR) the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 289 on 5/10/2024 with diagnoses that included wedge compression fracture (bone in front of the spine collapsing forming a wedge shape) of first lumbar vertebra (bones in spine to provide support to the body), unspecified hearing loss, and a history of falling. During a review of Resident 289's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's examination of a patient) dated 5/11/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 289 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 289s untitled CP, dated 5/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 289 required assistance in activities of daily living (ADL) and indicated for staff to provide help or assistance as needed. During a review of Resident 289's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 5/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 289 cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and process information) were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 289 required maximal assistance with sitting on the side of the bed and required moderate assistance with sit to stand and toilet transfers. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/5/2024 at 9:55 AM with Resident 289 in Resident 289's room, the call light was observed to be on from 9:55 AM to 10:26 AM. Resident 289 stated Resident 289 needed help to use the restroom and had been waiting for a long time for staff to come. Resident 289 stated a nurse (unidentified) came inside her room and did not come back to assist Resident 289 to the restroom. During an interview on 6/5/2024 at 10:59 AM with Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5), CNA 5 stated call lights needed to be answered as soon as possible. CNA 5 stated it was not acceptable for residents to wait 30 minutes for assistance to use the restroom. CNA 5 stated the risk of not responding to call lights in a timely manner was that the resident could get up to use the restroom and the resident could fall or sustain an injury. During an interview on 6/5/2024 at 9:44 AM with the Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN Sup1), RN Sup 1 stated if the resident's call light was on, staff needed to check on the resident and respond within three to five minutes. RN Sup 1 stated it was not acceptable if Resident 289 waited 30 minutes for assistance to use the restroom. RN Sup 1 stated Resident 289 would get out of bed without assistance and fall if the resident's call light was not answered timely.

F 0684 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 ensure interventions were developed and implemented to address the resident's positioning preference for one of one sampled resident (Resident 16.) Resident 16 had a non-healing wound to the left lateral (side) ankle and left medial (middle) ankle and Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to delay wound healing for Resident 16. Findings: During a review of Resident 16's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 7/27/2021 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included benign neoplasm of endocrine pancreas (non-cancerous tumors of the pancreas) and infection and inflammatory reaction (pain, swelling, and discomfort) due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts (medical devices or tissues placed inside or on the surface of the body). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 8/4/2023, the MDS indicated the resident had moderate cognitive (ability to understand) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was totally dependent with toilet use and required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) with bed mobility. The MDS indicated Resident 16 had open lesions on the foot with skin and ulcer/injury treatments including pressure reducing device for the bed, turning and repositioning program. During an observation on 6/4/2024, the following were observed: At 10:46 am, Resident 16 was asleep on her back with her legs curled upwards to the waist with the legs towards the left side. At 12:40 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 1:10 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 2:45 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. During an observation on 6/5/2024, the following were observed: At 8:50 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's left side and Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 11:16 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 1:00 pm, Resident 16 had a pillow on the resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 2:50 pm with Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6), CNA 6 stated she would reposition the resident to the right side, but Resident 16 would go back to stay on the left side. CNA 6 stated Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side. CNA 6 stated other CNAs also confirmed Resident 16 preferred to lie on her left side. During an observation on 6/7/2024 at 8:22 am, CNA 5 and RNA 2 provided incontinent (management for incontinence [inability to control urine or stool]) care to Resident 16. Resident 16 tolerated turning to her right side with no signs and symptoms of pain. There was an intact dressing to the left lateral ankle and left medial ankle. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:38 pm, Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN Sup 2) removed the pillow positioned on Resident 16's left side. Resident 16 was still positioned towards the left side. RN Sup 2 stated Resident 16 would still position herself towards the left side because that was her preference. RN Sup stated staff should position the resident to a different position other than the left side. RN Sup 2 stated the facility needed to use other alternatives to position Resident 16 to face the right side or supine such as using two pillows instead of just one pillow or using other positioning device such as bolsters to keep her off the left side most of the time. During a wound observation on 6/10/2024 at 8:39 am, there was an open wound to the left lateral and left medial ankle with a metal visible from inside the wound. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 3:05 pm, the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) stated Resident 16 needed to be repositioned and not lie on the left side all the time. WCN stated Resident 16 needed to get up to the chair more often instead of lying in bed most of the time and offload the area where the wound was located. The WCN stated Resident 16 preferred to stay on her left side. The WCN did not respond when asked what would happen to the wound if Resident 16 was lying on one side for an extended period of time. During a review of Resident 16's untitled care plans, the care plans indicated the following: On 3/13/2022, Resident 16 had a left ankle open skin with interventions that included to offload foot. The care plan was resolved. On 10/13/2023, Resident 16 had an infected hardware on the resident's left lower extremity with interventions to administer antibiotics (medication to treat infection). On 11/30/2023, Resident 16 had left lateral and medial surgical wound. There were no interventions developed for Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located. On 2/25/2024, Resident 16 had an infected left lateral ankle. There were no interventions developed for Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located. On 5/29/2024, Resident 16 had a left medial ankle surgical wound. There were no interventions developed for Resident 16's preference to stay on the left side where the wound was located. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Wound Care, the P&P indicated to review the resident's care plan to assess for any special needs of the resident.

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 care and services was provided to prevent pressure ulcer (lesion/wound caused by unrelieved pressure that results in damage of underlying tissue) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 16.) Resident 16 developed redness at the base of the left lateral toe and redness at the base of the right big toe. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential for the development of pressure ulcer. Cross Reference: F684 Findings: During a review of Resident 16's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 7/27/2021 and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included benign neoplasm of endocrine pancreas (non-cancerous tumors of the pancreas) and infection and inflammatory reaction (pain, swelling, and discomfort) due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts (medical devices or tissues placed inside or on the surface of the body). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 8/4/2023, the MDS indicated the resident had moderate cognitive (ability to understand) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was totally dependent with toilet use and required extensive assistance (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) with bed mobility. The MDS indicated Resident 16 had open lesions on the foot with skin and ulcer/injury treatments including pressure reducing device for the bed, turning and repositioning program. During an observation on 6/4/2024, the following were observed: At 10:46 am, Resident 16 was asleep on her back with her legs curled upwards to the waist with the legs towards the left side. At 12:40 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 1:10 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 2:45 pm, Resident 16 was facing the left side. During an observation on 6/5/2024, the following were observed: At 8:50 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's left side and Resident 16 was facing the left side. At 11:16 am, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side.

F 0686 At 2:37 pm, Resident 16 had a pillow on resident's right side and Resident 16 was facing the left side. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 2:50 pm with Certified Nursing Assistant 6 (CNA 6), CNA 6 stated she would reposition the resident to the right side, but Resident 16 would go back to stay on the left side. CNA 6 stated Resident 16 preferred to lie on the left side. CNA 6 stated other CNAs also confirmed Resident 16 preferred to lie on her left side. Residents Affected - Few During an observation on 6/7/2024 at 8:22 am, CNA 5 and RNA 2 provided incontinent (management for incontinence [inability to control urine or stool]) care to Resident 16. Resident 16 tolerated turning to her right side with no signs and symptoms of pain. There was redness at the base of the left lateral toe and the base of the right big toe of Resident 16. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:38 pm, Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN Sup 2) removed the pillow positioned on Resident 16's left side. Resident 16 was still positioned towards the left side. RN Sup 2 stated Resident 16 would still position herself towards the left side because that was her preference. RN Sup stated staff should position the resident to a different position other than the left side. There was blanchable redness at the base of the left lateral toe and the base of the right big toe of Resident 16. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 3:05 pm, the Wound Care Nurse (WCN) stated Resident 16 needed to be repositioned and not lie on the left side all the time. WCN stated Resident 16 needed to get up to the chair more often instead of lying in bed most of the time and offload the area where the wound was located. The WCN stated Resident 16 preferred to stay on her left side. The WCN did not respond when asked what would happen to the wound if Resident 16 was lying on one side for an extended period of time. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Prevention of Pressure Ulcers, the P&P indicated pressure ulcers were usually formed when a resident remained in the same position for an extended period of time causing increased pressure or a decrease of circulation (blood flow) to that area and subsequent destruction of tissue. The most common site of a pressure ulcer was where the bone was near the surface of the body including the back of the head, around the ears, elbows, shoulder blades, backbone, hips, knees, heels, ankles, and toes. For a person in bed, change position at least every two hours or more frequently if needed. For residents with a risk factor of lowered mental awareness, choose preventive actions appropriate to individual risk factors and adjust for cognitive impairment of the resident, adjust for any limitations in resident's understanding of instructions or ability to participate in preventive actions.

This failure had the potential to result in a decrease in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) in Resident 2's bilateral (both) legs. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal in lower part of the back) of the lumbar region (lower part of the back) and bilateral artificial knee joints. During a review of Resident 2's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 8/6/2021, the CP indicated Resident 2 required variable assistance with activities of daily living (ADL, basic tasks that include eating, dressing, getting in or out of bed or a chair, taking a bath or shower, and using the toilet). The CP indicated for the RNA to ambulate Resident 2 daily, five times a week as tolerated. During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 3/30/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive abilities (ability to think, learn, and process information) were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 used a wheelchair and required moderate assistance with walking. During a review of Resident 2's Order Details (OD) dated 6/21/2023 at 5:12 PM, the OD indicated Resident 2 had MD order for Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA, performs transfers, bed mobility, positioning, ROM, and general strengthening exercises) program for ambulation (walking) every five days a week. The OD indicated one time a day every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/7/2024 at 7:54 AM with Restorative Nursing Aide (help residents maintain their function and mobility) 1 (RNA 1), Resident 2's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 5/2024 was reviewed. Resident 2's TAR indicated blank spaces for RNA program for ambulation on 5/2/2024, 5/13/2024, 5/21/2024, and 5/27/2024. RNA 1 stated the blank spaces in Resident 2's TAR indicated treatment was not performed. RNA 1 stated if the resident refused it would be documented as refused. RNA 1 stated the risk of not performing treatment as ordered was that there could be a decrease in Resident 2's ROM and not following MD's orders. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:31 AM with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated blank spaces in Resident 2's TAR on 5/2/2024, 5/13/2024, 5/21/2024, and 5/27/2024 indicated the task was not completed. The DON stated, not performing RNA exercises per MD order placed the resident at risk for contractures (permanent stiffness in a joint) or a decline in ADL function.

Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, for Residents 8 and 36 who did not have smoking privileges to smoke with staff supervision, and for staff to keep Residents 8 and 36's smoking articles including cigarettes and cigarette lighters for Residents 8 and 36. 2. Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, to evaluate Resident 8's ability to smoke safely with the consultation from the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) and Resident 8's Attending Physician when safety restriction for smoking was needed in accordance with facility's Safe Smoking Evaluation Form. 3. Implement the facility's smoking policy titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, not to allow Resident 36 smoked in an area with an oxygen (gas needed for breathing, when combined with fuel, it released heat and generated combustion/ignition/fire) machine present in Resident 36's room. 4. Implement Resident 36's untitled Care Plan (CP), dated 5/25/2024 indicating not to allow Resident 36 to have cigarettes and lighters on her possession, and for Resident 36 to dispose cigarettes in the proper receptacle (facility's ashtrays). 5. Implement Resident 36's smoking intervention in Resident 36's Smoking Evaluation (SE) form, dated 3/27/2024 indicating Resident 36 had poor vision and required supervision when smoking. These failures had the potential for Resident 8 and Resident 36 to turn on the lighters, cause a fire that could affect the health, safety, and wellbeing of all 90 residents in the facility, facility staff and visitors and result in serious harm, injuries, hospitalization, and death. On 6/4/2024 at 5:15 pm, while onsite at the facility, the survey team called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) situation regarding the facility's failure to ensure Residents 8 and 36, who were smokers, had an environment that was free of accident hazard by allowing both residents to have cigarettes and cigarette lighters in possession inside their rooms. Resident 8 was on Seroquel (an antipsychotic [medicine to treat mental illness] medication) for hearing voices telling him to hurt himself and others in the facility. Resident 36's roommate had an oxygen machine used whenever necessary (PRN) with a posted Danger sign in red color that indicated, Oxygen, No Smoking, No Open Flames posted outside Resident 36's room. The IJ was called in the presence of the facility's Administrator (ADM) and DON. On 6/6/2024, at 4:06 pm, the facility submitted an acceptable IJ Removal Plan ([IJRP] a plan with interventions to correct the deficient practice). While onsite at the facility, the survey team verified and confirmed the facility's implementation of the IJRP through observation, interview, and record review.

RN Sup 1 stated it was a fire hazard having a lighter at Resident 36's bedside or in Resident 36's possession because Resident 36's roommate had an oxygen machine in the room. RN Sup 1 stated Resident 36 needed supervision during smoking according to Resident 36's CP. RN Sup 1 stated Resident 36 needed to use the ashtray that was provided in the patio because the plastic bottle could catch fire when the cigarette butt was not extinguished (put out) completely. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 on 11:36 am with CNA 4 in Resident 36's room, there were seven disposable lighters, one unopened cigarette pack (20 cigarettes/pack) and one opened cigarette pack with two and half cigarettes in the box. CNA 4 stated all seven disposable lighters were functional. CNA 4 stated CNA 4 was unsure when Resident 36 got the seven lighters and kept them in Resident 36's room. During an interview on 6/4/2024 at 4:56 pm with the DON, the DON stated cigarette lighters should not be at Resident 36's bedside especially when there was an oxygen machine in Resident 36's room because it could cause an explosion or fire. The DON stated staff needed to remove the lighters immediately from Resident 36 for Resident 36 and other residents' (other residents in the facility) safety. The DON stated Resident 36 needed supervision during smoking according to Resident 36's CP and SE form. The DON stated Resident 36's safety would be at risk when staff did not provide supervision during smoking. The DON stated residents who smoke (smokers in general) needed to use the ashtrays to dispose cigarette butts appropriately. The DON stated cigarette butts should not be placed inside of a used plastic bottle because it could cause fire when cigarette butts were not extinguished completely. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Smoking Policy-Residents, the P&P indicated Residents without independent smoking privileges may not have or keep any smoking articles, including cigarettes, tobacco, etc. The P&P indicated Ashtrays are emptied into designated receptacles and the use of oxygen is prohibited in smoking areas. The P&P indicated Residents who smoked (smokers) needed to be evaluated on admission to determine if the residents had the ability to smoke safety with or without supervision. The P&P indicated Any resident with restricted smoking privileges requiring monitoring shall have the direct supervision of a staff member, family member, visitor, or volunteer worker at all times while smoking. The P&P further indicated Staff should consult with the attending physician and DON to determine if safety restrictions was needed on the residents' smoking privileges based on Safe Smoking Evaluation.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P, a formal document of a medical provider's examination of a patient) dated 12/30/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 2 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 2's untitled CP dated 4/11/2024, the CP indicated Resident 2 had oxygen therapy as needed (PRN) for COPD. The CP indicated for staff to provide oxygen at two liters (L-unit of measurement) through a nasal canula (NC, device that delivers oxygen through a tube into the nose) PRN. During a review of Resident 2's OSR dated 4/11/2024, the OSR indicated Resident 2 had an active physician's order for staff to administer oxygen at two liters per minute through NC, PRN for shortness of breath (SOB). During a review of Resident 2's untitled CP dated 4/15/2024, the CP indicated Resident 2 was at risk for ineffective breathing related to COPD. The CP indicated for staff to administer oxygen at two L via NC as ordered. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 10:52 AM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RN Sup 1) in Resident 2's room, an oxygen concentrator machine (medical device used to deliver oxygen) was at Resident 2's bedside with the NC tubing coiled into a plastic bag. RN Sup 1 stated there was no date on the oxygen tubing to indicate when it was last changed. RN Sup 1 stated the risk of not labeling oxygen tubing was that bacteria can grow inside of the NC tubing. During an interview on 6/6/2024 at 8:36 AM with the IPN, the IPN stated the IPN was responsible for placing the date on the oxygen tubing and stated all oxygen tubing should be labeled with the date it was last changed. IPN stated if the oxygen tubing was not labeled, the resident would have an old oxygen tube with bacteria growth due to moisture accumulating in the tubing. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 11:30 AM with the facility's' Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated oxygen tubing needed to be replaced every Friday. The DON stated there was an assigned nurse to check if there was a date on the oxygen tubing. The DON stated oxygen tubing should be dated of when it was changed and the risk of not having a date on the oxygen tubing was that resident would be inhaling oxygen through a dirty and old tube. During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Oxygen Administration the P&P indicated the NC will be changed once a week on Fridays and nursing staff will be responsible for changing the resident's NC tubing and tubing's storage bag. The P&P indicated a label noting the date changed will be adhered to the tubing and the plastic storage bag.

F 0698 Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure dialysis emergency kit was readily available for staff use in case of bleeding in resident's dialysis (a type of treatment that helps the body remove extra fluid and waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not able to) access site for two of two sampled residents on dialysis (Residents 44 and 85). Residents Affected - Some This deficient practice placed Residents 44 and 85 at risk for excessive bleeding from dialysis access site. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 85's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 85 on 4/6/2024, with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (a condition that happens when the blood sugar [glucose] is too high) and dependence on renal dialysis. During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 11:09 a.m., Resident 85 was lying on his back in bed, alert and coherent. Resident 85's left upper arm dialysis access site was intact. During a concurrent observation and interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN) in Resident 85's room on 6/4/2024 at 11:17 a.m., the TN stated she did not find the dialysis emergency kit of Resident 85 after looking at Resident 85's bedside table, drawer, and closet. The TN stated dialysis emergency kit should be readily available at Resident 85's bedside to immediately control the bleeding in the dialysis access site in an emergency, to prevent excessive blood loss that might result in serious harm and/or death of the resident. b. During a review of Resident 44's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 44 on 8/7/2023, with diagnoses that included end stage renal disease (medical condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis) and dependence on renal dialysis. During a review of Resident 44's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 5/16/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident 44 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with bed mobility such as rolling left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on the side of the bed). During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 8:46 am, there was no emergency dialysis kit at the bedside of Resident 44. Registered Nurse Supervisor 4(RN Sup 4) checked inside Resident 44's drawers and could not find the emergency dialysis kit or emergency dressing kit. During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 8:55 am, RN Sup 4 stated the dialysis emergency kit would be used in cases of bleeding from the dialysis access site. RN Sup 4 stated it was important to have the emergency dialysis kit readily available to use in case of emergency. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 4:19 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the facility did not have policies and procedure to keep dialysis emergency kits at the bedside.

F 0732 Post nurse staffing information every day. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to post accurate nurse staffing information of actual hours worked by the licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly responsible for resident care per shift daily. The staffing information was not posted in a prominent location for two of four days during the recertification survey. Residents Affected - Some This deficient practice had the potential to mislead the residents and visitors of the actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed nursing staff directly providing resident care and had the potential to affect the quality of nursing care provided to the residents. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/4/2024 at 9:30 a.m. and 6/5/2024 at 9 a.m., the facility's staffing information was posted inside the North Nurses' Station and no staffing information was posted in the South Nurse's Station of the facility. The staffing information indicated actual hours worked by the nursing staff on all shifts (7 am-3 pm, 3pm-11 pm and 11 pm-7 am). During a concurrent interview and review on 6/5/2024 at 10 a.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated staffing information was projected actual hours worked by nursing staff on all shifts. The DSD stated she was not aware staffing information needed to be posted in a prominent location that should be accessible for review by the residents, family, and visitors to determine if the facility had enough staff to take care of the residents. The DSD stated staffing information posted inside the North Nurses' Station was not accessible for residents, family, and visitors because they are not allowed to enter the nurses' station. DSD stated she was responsible for the nurse staffing information completion and posting at the beginning of each shift, daily. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedures (P&P) titled, Posting Direct Care Daily Staffing Numbers, the P&P indicated staffing information should count only the total number of hours the staff was scheduled to work for the shift being posted and should be posted in a prominent location by the Supervisor within two hours of the beginning of each shift.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) failed to ensure enteric coated (barrier to prevent gastric acids in the stomach from dissolving or degrading medications after being swallowed) Aspirin (medication to prevent blood clot) was not crushed for one of four sampled residents (Resident 7) during medication administration. This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 7's medication efficacy and placed the resident at risk for adverse complications. Findings: During a review of Resident 7's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 5/2/2016 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included gastroesophageal reflux disease with esophagitis (a condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back up into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach) dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning) and atherosclerotic heart disease (condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall). During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 2/27/2024, the MDS indicated the resident sometimes understands verbal content and rarely/never able to express ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 7 was dependent with all activities of daily living. During a medication administration observation on 6/6/2024 from 8:23 am to 8:31 am, LVN 2 prepared a total of 8 scheduled medications for Resident 7, including Aspirin. LVN 2 crushed the medications and mixed with apple sauce. LVN 2 administered all the medications mixed in apple sauce. During a concurrent interview and observation on 6/6/2024 at 8:43 am, LVN 2 stated she would always crush Resident 7's medications because Resident 7 could not swallow the medications in whole. LVN 2 checked Resident 7's medication bottle for Aspirin and the bottle indicated enteric coated Aspirin 81 milligrams (mg-unit of measurement.) LVN 2 stated she did not know if she could crush enteric coated Aspirin. During an interview on 6/10/2024 at 4:35 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated delayed release/enteric coated medications should not be crushed and the facility needed to call the physician for an alternative medication and a physician's order to crush medications. The DON stated the alternative form of oral enteric coated Aspirin could be in a liquid form or sublingual form (applied under the tongue) During a review of Resident 7's active Physician Orders as of 6/2/2024, the physician's order indicated for Resident 7 to receive Aspirin EC (enteric coated) tablet delayed release, one tablet by mouth one time a day for prophylaxis.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure five of five sampled residents (Residents 13, 25, 41, 47 and 77) on psychotropic drugs (any drug capable of affecting the mood, emotions, and behavior) were free from unnecessary medication by failing to: A. Attempt a Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR- tapering of a dose) for Residents 25 and 47 B. Ensure PRN (as needed) orders for psychotropic medications were limited to 14 days use for Residents 13, 41, and Resident 77. These deficient practices had the potential for the facility to use psychotropic drugs inappropriately and had the potential to affect residents' physical, emotional and psychosocial wellbeing. Findings: A.1. During a review of Resident 25's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 25 on 4/28/2023, under Hospice Care (a program that gives special care to people who are near the end of life and have stopped treatment to cure or control their disease) due to diagnosis of end stage Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions). During an observation on 6/4/2024 at 10:47 a.m., Resident 25 was lying on his back in a low bed, awake and non-communicative. During a review of Resident 25's Order Summary Report (OSR), the physician orders indicated the following: 1. Seroquel (antipsychotic [medication to treat mental illness] medication) 25 milligrams (mg-unit of measurement) one tablet in the morning and 50 mg one tablet at bedtime, by mouth for agitation related to dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning); order date was 4/28/2023 2. Haloperidol Lactate oral concentrate 2mg/ml (antipsychotic medication) 2 mg sublingual (under the tongue) every six hours as needed (PRN) for agitation related to dementia; order date was 4/10/2024. During a review of Resident 25's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 6/1/2024 through 6/7/2024, the MAR indicated Resident 25 received Seroquel 25 mg one tablet at 9 a.m. and 50 mg one tablet at 10 p.m. by mouth, every day. During a review of Resident 25's monthly behavior monitoring of agitation due to dementia dated 4/28/2023 through 6/7/2024, the monthly behavior monitoring indicated Resident 25 had only two episodes of agitation since Seroquel and Haldol PRN were ordered for Resident 25.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 4:32 p.m., the DON stated she was responsible for checking residents on psychotropic medication had gradual dose reduction (GDR- tapering of medication) unless clinically contraindicated. The DON stated, Resident 25's antipsychotic drug (Seroquel) was ordered by the Hospice physician upon admission to the facility on 4/28/2023. The DON stated she notified the Hospice Registered Nurse (HRN) by phone about a month ago to discontinue Resident 25's Seroquel and Haldol due to absence of behavior problem of agitation but the DON stated she missed to follow up if the order was obtained. The DON stated Resident 25's medical record did not have documented evidence of a failed past or recent attempt of GDR for Seroquel to medically justify it would be clinically contraindicated for Resident 25. The DON stated there was no documented evidence Resident 25's physician made an evaluation for the appropriateness of the use of Haldol beyond 14 days. The DON stated antipsychotic PRN drug should not exceed 14 days, but it was overlooked. The DON stated GDR was necessary to determine if Resident 25's agitation would be managed by a lower dose with the use of non-drug interventions to prevent adverse drug reactions. A.2. During a review of Resident 47's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 12/18/2020, with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and dementia (long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember severe enough to affect a person's daily functioning.) During a review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated 3/24/2024, the MDS indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment and had no symptoms for problems with mood. The MDS indicated Resident 47 was dependent with toileting and required maximal assistance with eating, bed mobility. During a review of Resident 47's OSR, the OSR indicated the following order history for the use of Seroquel for Resident 47: On 3/30/21, Seroquel 50 milligrams (mg.-unit of measurement) at bedtime and Seroquel 25 mg. once a day, was ordered. On 5/28/21, Seroquel 50 mg. at bedtime and 25 mg. once a day, was ordered. On 6/30/21, Seroquel 50 mg. at bedtime and 25 mg. once a day, was ordered.

This failure had the potential to result in medications to become unstable and ineffective. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/7/2024 at 9:27 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) in MSR 1, the MR thermometer inside MR indicated a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit (F, unit to measure temperature). LVN 4 stated the temperature reading inside the MR was 62 degrees F. LVN 4 stated the thermometer was unsure if the thermometer was broken. LVN 4 stated the temperature in the MR was rechecked and indicated a temperature of 56 degrees F. LVN 4 stated the required MR temperature needed to be between 36 degrees F and 46 degrees F according to the facility's temperature log. LVN 4 stated having a broken thermometer in the MR had the potential to decrease the effectiveness or stability of the medications inside the MR. During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:56 PM with Registered Nurse Supervisor 2 (RN Sup 2), RN Sup 2 stated the MR temperature should be between 36 to 46 degrees F. The RN Sup 2 stated the risk of not maintaining the MR at the required temperature was that it can affect the potency of the medication and bacteria could grow. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Storage of Medication the P&P indicated MR must contain working thermometers which licensed nurses use to log the temperature twice daily to ensure the temperature stays between 36 degrees F and 46 degrees F.

These failures had the potential to result in cross contamination (movement of harmful bacteria from one object/person to another), development and transmission of infection and growth of infectious agents which could compromise the health and safety of residents and staff. Findings: a. During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 4:32 PM with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated the facility does not monitor water management because the facility does not have stagnant waters. The ADM stated there was no preventative processes to assess or measure the growth of Legionella and other waterborne opportunistic pathogens. The ADM stated the facility needed to have measures in place to monitor for legionella and infection. During an interview on 6/7/2024 at 5:04 PM with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN- a nurse who helps prevent and identify the spread of infectious disease in the healthcare environment), the IPN stated the facility followed the policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Legionella Surveillance and Detection since it was a part of Infection Prevention. The IPN stated the facility does not have implementations for surveillance and detection of Legionella. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Legionella Surveillance and Detection, the P&P indicated as part of the Infection Prevention and Control Program, all cases of pneumonia that are diagnosed in residents 48 hours after admission will be investigated for possible Legionnaire's disease. The P&P indicated the facility was to prevent, detect and control water-borne contaminants, including Legionella.
