What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 8 deficiencies, 1 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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 61) was provided with a dignified experience when the Infection Preventionist (IP) nurse was standing while assisting Resident 61 to eat.This failure has the potential to cause Resident 61 to feel disrespected and negatively affect their psychosocial well-being and individuality.During a review of Resident 61's admission Record (clinical record with demographic information), the admission Record indicated, Resident 61 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included, of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and dementia (impaired memory, judgment, and ability to understand or communicate needs.)During an observation on January 20, 2026, at 12:24 PM, in the dining area, the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP) nurse assisted Resident 61 with lunch. IP nurse was standing while Resident 61 was seated in a wheelchair at a dining room table. IP nurse was feeding Resident 61 with noodle soup using a spoon while remaining standing.During an interview on January 20, 2026 at 12:29 PM, with the IP nurse, the IP nurse, stated that when providing feeding assistance to a resident, staff should be seated at the resident's level for safety to help prevent aspiration (the possibility that food or liquid may enter the airway instead of the stomach during swallowing, which can cause choking, coughing or breathing problems).During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, at 10:13 AM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Assistance with Meals, revised March 2022, was reviewed. The P&P indicated, Dining Room Residents. 3. Residents who cannot feed themselves will feed with attention to safety, comfort and dignity, for example: a. not standing over resident while assisting them with meals; The ADON stated staff should not stand over residents while assisting with meals and confirmed that the staff did not follow the facility's policy. 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.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 accurately code the Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDSa computerized assessment instrument) for one resident (Resident 92) reviewed for history of falls.This failure had the potential to cause inaccuracy in identifying Resident 92's care and support needs.During a review of Resident 92's clinical record, the admission Record (contains demographic and clinical data), the admission Record indicated Resident 92 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included generalized (overall body) muscle weakness, Dementia (noticeable, worsening loss of brain function, including memory, thinking, language, and judgment, that goes beyond normal aging), and adult failure to thrive (downward spiral of health and ability).During a review of Resident 92's MDS Quarterly Assessment (an assessment for a resident that must be completed every 92 days following the previous assessment), dated January 5, 2026, the MDS Quarterly Assessment under Section J titled Health Conditions indicated Resident 92 had a history of fall with injury (coded 1).During a concurrent interview and record review on January 22, 2026, at 2:25 PM, with the MDS Nurse, Resident 92's MDS Quarterly Assessment, dated January 5, 2026, was reviewed. The MDS's Quarterly Assessment under Section J titled Health Conditions indicated, Resident 92 had a history of fall with injury which was entered as 1 in J1900. The MDS Nurse stated, It [Section J-Health Conditions] was incorrectly coded as a fall. The MDS Nurse further stated, There is no history of fall with this resident in this facility. The MDS Nurse further stated, the facility was supposed to follow the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI- instruction manual for assessing a nursing home resident's health, needs, and strengths to create a personalized care plan) manual for instructions on how to code the residents correctly in the MDS, but it was not followed.During an interview on January 23, 2026, at 10:50 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the MDS Nurse did not code Resident 92's fall correctly and should have coded it as no falls. The DON further stated, they do not have a policy, but they follow the RAI manual.During a review of the CMS's (The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) RAI version 3.0 manual revised October 2025 indicated, . J1700: Fall History on Admission/Entry or Reentry (cont.)-Steps for Assessment 1. Ask the resident and family or significant other about a history of falls in the month prior to admission and in the 6 months prior to admission. 2. Review inter-facility transfer information (if the resident is being admitted from another facility) for evidence of falls. 3. Review all relevant medical records received from facilities where the resident resided during the previous 6 months; also review any other medical records received for evidence of one or more falls.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, person-centered care plan (a summary of a resident's health conditions, specific care needs, and current treatments) addressing identified medical needs for two of two sampled residents (Residents 11 and 14), when:1. Resident 11's care plan for intravenous (IV) therapy (a method of giving fluids or medications directly into a vein), initiated on January 12, 2026, did not address monitoring, nursing interventions, or measurable goals.2. Resident 14, admitted on hospice services (specialized care that provides physical comfort and emotional, social and spiritual support for people nearing the end of life) since June 10, 2025, did not have a comprehensive care plan addressing hospice service, including goals of care, palliative interventions, or coordination of services.These failures had the potential to result in inadequate planning, monitoring, and coordination of care, placing residents at risk for unmet medical needs, or complications related to intravenous therapy, unmanaged symptoms, and decreased quality of life consistent with resident's goals, preferences, and current clinical condition. 1. During a review of Resident 11's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), it indicated Resident 11 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition where the body does not received enough calories or protein to maintain normal body function), metabolic encephalopathy (a brain dysfunction caused by illnesses, chemical imbalances, or toxins resulting in symptoms like confusion, delirium, and coma).During an observation on January 20, 2026, at 1:18 PM, in the hallway outside room [ROOM NUMBER], Resident 11 was sitting in a Geri chair (a specialized chair designed for residents who need support with sitting, positioning and safety), with an IV (intravenous - via vein) fluid labeled 0.9% Normal Saline IV solution, (a sterile salt - water solution with the same salt concentration as the body, commonly used to provide hydration through an IV) 1000 mL (mL - unit of fluid measurement) with instructions to infuse at 50 mL per hour intravenously, continuously.During an interview on January 20, 2026, at 3:29 PM, with the License Vocational Nurse, (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated Resident 11 had poor venous access and nursing staff were unable to obtain IV access in the upper extremities due to veins repeatedly blowing. The LVN 1 further stated that the physician was notified, and an physician order was obtained authorizing placement of the IV in the lower extremity for hydration. The LVN 1 further stated that the lower extremity is uncommon and is performed only when upper - extremity access is not possible and when ordered by the physician.During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, at 10:18 AM, with the Assistant Director of Nurses, ADON, the Physician Orders dated, January 12, 2026, at 1:22 PM was reviewed. The physician orders indicated May have IV access to lower extremity. The ADON acknowledged the order was initiated on January 12, 2026.During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, at 10:21 AM, with the ADON, Resident 11's care plan, dated January 12, 2026, was reviewed. The care plan indicated, focus (Name of Resident 11) has poor IV access and at risk for poor tissue perfusion r/t (related to) malnutrition. The ADON confirmed that the care plan was initiated on January 12, 2026; however, the care plan was not fully completed and was reviewed on January 21, 2026. The ADON further confirmed that the care plan lacked measurable goals and did not include defined outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions. The ADON stated that in nursing measurable goals and outcomes are important to guide care and to assess whether interventions are effective for the resident.During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, with the ADON, the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Goals and Objectives, Care Plans, revised April 2009, was reviewed.

Care plan goals and objectives are derived from information contained in the resident's comprehensive assessment and: a. are resident oriented; b. are behaviorally stated; c. are measurable; and d. contain timetables to meet the resident's needs in accordance with the comprehensive assessment. The ADON confirmed that although the care plan for Resident 11 was initiated on January 12, 2026, the care plan lacked measurable goals and outcomes. The ADON further stated that measurable goals are important in nursing to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and resident outcomes to address Resident 11's IV care needs. 2. During a review of Resident 14's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), it indicated Resident 14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with the diagnoses which included encounter palliative care (care focused on comfort, pain relief, and quality of life rather than curing illness), dementia (a condition causing severe memory loss and inability to think communicate, or care for oneself) and protein-calorie malnutrition (not getting enough calories or nutrients, leading to weight loss, weakness, and poor healing).During a review of the Resident 14's Physician Orders, dated June 10, 2025, the physician orders indicated, Admit to (name of hospice) under RC (resident condition) DX (diagnosis): Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive brain disease that causes worsening memory loss, confusion, inability to communicate, and loss of ability to perform daily activities).During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, at 10:26 AM, with the ADON, the ADON reviewed Resident 14's clinical records. The ADON acknowledged that no comprehensive care plan addressing hospice care was found in the electronic records. The ADON stated hospice residents are expected to have a care plan addressing the comfort measures and coordination with the hospice services.During a concurrent interview and record review on January 23, 2026, at 10:31 AM, with the ADON the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered, Revised March 2022.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - 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 monitoring were maintained for two of two sampled residents (Resident 23 and 4) reviewed for pressure ulcers (injury to skin and underlying tissues that develop because of prolonged pressure, shear (skin tissues slide in opposite directions when sticks to a surface), or friction) when: 1. For Resident 23, there was no documented evidence of wound treatments for Left Iliac Crest (thick, curved bony ridge at the very top of the hip bone), PI (Pressure Injury), change in condition, physician orders for January 7, 2026 through January 16, 2026, IDT meeting (Interdisciplinary Team meeting - a meeting where different professionals come together to discuss a patient's care) and care plan, to address Resident 23's unstageable (when the base of the wound is covered by a layer of dead tissue and it is not possible to determine the stage (classifying wounds)) PI prior to January 21, 2026.2. Resident 4's moisture associated skin damage (MASD- a condition caused by repeated exposure to bodily secretions such as urine resulting in skin breakdown) had no documented evidence of assessments, monitoring, treatments, and interventions.These failures resulted in Resident 23's worsening pressure injury being undetected and Resident 4 MASD left unaddressed, placing both residents at higher risk for infection, development of new pressure ulcers, and delayed wound healing. Residents Affected - Few 1.During a record review of Resident 23's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), it indicated, Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included, Parkinson's disease with dyskinesia (a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system, causing involuntary, jerky, or writhing movements) dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), dementia (a condition characterized by the decline mental ability, affecting memory, thinking and language interfering with daily life), heart failure (a condition in which the heart muscle is too weak or stiff to effectively pump enough oxygen). During an observation and interview on January 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM, in Resident 23's room, with Treatment Nurse 1 and 2 (TX 1 and TX 2), Resident 23 was lying on bed with the eyes open.
