What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 13 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each 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 did not ensure the call light was in reach for five of 92 facility residents (Resident 27, 70, 7, 9, and 79). Residents Affected - Some This deficient practice increased the risk for residents to be unable to call for staff assistance or express their needs. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 27's admission Record indicated Resident 27 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 27's admitting diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness and osteoarthritis (when flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down). A review of Resident 27's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening/planning tool), dated 2/13/2024, indicated Resident 27 required partial to moderate assistance with personal hygiene and dressing, required substantial to maximal assistance with toileting, and was dependent on staff for showering and bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 27 required partial to moderate assistance with rolling left to right in the bed, and required substantial to maximal assistance when transitioning from a sitting to lying position, and vice versa. Resident 27 was also dependent on staff for transitioning to a standing position or transferring from the bed to the chair. A review of Resident 27's care plan, dated 11/28/2023, indicated Resident 27 was at risk for falls and injuries. The staff interventions indicated to keep Resident 27's call light within reach. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 10:14 a.m., at Resident 27's bedside, observed Resident 27's call light on the floor to the left of the resident's bed. During an observation, on 4/29/2024 at 10:11 a.m., outside of Resident 27's room, Resident 27 heard and observed calling out, Hello!. Observed Resident 27's certified nursing assistant (CNA) in a room across the hall with the door closed. Resident 27's call light observed on the floor to the left side of the resident's bed. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 10:20 a.m., outside of Resident 27's room, Resident 27 observed and heard continuing to call out, Hello! Hello!. No staff observed in the hallway. Resident 27's call light observed on the floor to the left of Resident 27's bed. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/29/2024 at 10:22 a.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 27's call light was on the floor. CNA 1 stated the call light was not supposed to be on (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.

During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 11:18 a.m., in Resident 9's room, observed Resident 9's call light on the floor under the resident's bed and not within reach. During an interview on 4/29/2024 at 11:22 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated residents' call lights should be within reach. LVN 1 stated everyone was responsible to check on the residents' status and make sure the call lights were within reach. LVN 1 stated if a resident was unable to reach the call light and call for assistance it could delay resident assessment and care. LVN 1 stated it also put residents at risk for falls and injuries. 5. A review of Resident 79's admission Record indicated Resident 79 was originally admitted to the facility on Resident 79 on 2/14/2023 and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 79's diagnoses included hemiplegia (complete paralysis on one side of the body), hemiparesis (partial paralysis on one side of the body), history of repeated falls, and generalized muscle weakness. A review of Resident 79's H&P, dated 3/11/2023, indicated Resident 79 did not have capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 79's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 79 was moderately cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 79 required substantial (helper does more than half the effort) assistance with hygiene, toileting, dressing, and was completely dependent on staff for bathing. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 11:21 a.m., Resident 79 was in her wheelchair with her body leaning towards the right side of her chair, and her head resting on the right-side arm rest. Resident 79 asked for help but the call light was not within reach. During an interview on 4/29/2024 at 11:30 a.m., Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) stated Resident 79 asked to be repositioned because she was uncomfortable. The IPN stated Resident 79's call light should have been within reach so the resident could ask for help. During an interview on 5/1/2024 4:51 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated call lights were supposed to always be within the residents' reach. The DON stated that if the call light was not within reach the resident could not call for help and stated it was a safety issue. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 8:07 a.m., with the DON, the DON stated staff were responsible for checking that the residents' call lights were within reach at the resident's bedside.

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 offer advance directives for one of three residents (Resident 44). This deficient practice had the potential to cause conflict with Resident 44's wishes regarding health care. Findings: A review of Resident 44's admission Record indicated Resident 44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 44's diagnoses included metabolic encephalopathy (a problem with the metabolism causing brain dysfunction) and dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life). A review of Resident 44's History and Physical (H&P), undated, indicated Resident 44 did not have capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 44's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/12/2024, indicated Resident 44 was severely cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 44 required substantial (helper does more than half the effort) assistance with hygiene, toileting, dressing, and was completely dependent (helper does all the effort) for bathing. A review of Resident 44's electronic medical record indicated Resident 44 did not have any advance directives or acknowledgement form. During an interview on 5/2/2024, at 9:06 a.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated when residents were admitted she would ask them or their representative if they had any advance directives. The SSD stated if the resident did not have any she would offer her assistance and document it in a progress note which served as an acknowledgement form. The SSD stated advance directives were important because it could ensure the residents wishes were kept. During an interview on 5/2/2024, at 1:32 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated residents were offered the opportunity for advance directives upon admission which should be documented in the resident's chart to show that it was offered. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Advance Directives, dated 11/2016, the P&P indicated the Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990 required all skilled nursing facilities to inform new residents of their right to establish an advance directive. The P&P indicated that the facility must have the resident or responsible party sign a form that acknowledges they have received this information and whether advance directive already exists or if the resident would like to establish one.

F 0604 Ensure that each resident is free from the use of physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. 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 two of 92 resident's (Resident 37 and 41) beds were not positioned against the wall. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice reduced the residents' ability to get out of bed freely and also increased the risk for entrapment and subsequent injury. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 37's admission Record indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 37's admitting diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness and a history of falling. A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening/planning tool), dated 4/2/2024, indicated Resident 37 had severe cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 37 required maximal assistance from or full dependence on staff for repositioning herself in bed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/1/2024 at 12:02 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 37's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, group of different disciplines working together towards a common goal of a resident) progress notes and care plans were reviewed. RN 1stated there were no IDT progress notes or care plans indicating Resident 37 preferred to have her bed against the wall. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 11:41 a.m., inside Resident 37's room, Resident 37's bed was observed against the wall. There was no gap observed between the left side of Resident 37's bed and the wall. There was a padded mat on the ground to the right side of the bed. During an interview on 4/29/2024 at 12:39 p.m., with Resident 37's family member (FM) 1, FM 1 stated Resident 37's bed had been against the wall for a while. FM 1 stated the facility never informed him that it was not required or supposed to be against the wall. 2. A review of Resident 41's admission Record indicated Resident 41 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 41's admitting diagnoses included osteoarthritis (when flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down) of the left knee and encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition). A review of Resident 41's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 41 had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 41 required partial to moderate assistance from staff for repositioning herself in bed. The MDS indicated Resident 41 used a wheelchair for mobility. A review of Resident 41's care plan, dated 10/31/2023, indicated Resident 41 was at risk for falls and injuries. Further review of Resident 41's care plan did not indicate Resident 41 had any preferences for having her bed against the wall.

There was no gap between the right side of Resident 41's bed and the wall. Resident 41's wheelchair was observed on the left side of her bed. During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 11:51 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated resident beds were not supposed to be placed against the wall unless it was the resident's preference. The DON stated that if a resident preferred having their bed against the wall it was supposed to be care planned and documented in an IDT progress note. The DON stated that having the bed against the wall which created a high risk for entrapment was a safety issue. The DON further stated that the bed against the wall was considered a restraint and stated that the bed should never be against the wall. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Restraint Free Environment, dated 12/2021, indicated placing a bed close enough to a wall that the resident cannot independently get out of bed is considered a physical restraint.

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 an individualized care plan with measurable objectives, timeframes, and interventions to improve, maintain, or prevent a further decline in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint) and mobility for one of six sampled residents (Resident 78) who was identified as having decreased mobility and ROM limitations in the right leg. This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the delivery of necessary care and services for Resident 78, and had the potential to lead to contracture (loss of motion of a joint) development and a decline in overall physical functioning. Findings: A review of Resident 78's admission Record indicated Resident 78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including an acquired absence of the right leg below the knee (amputation of the right leg below the level of the knee), right knee contracture, and chronic left ankle ulcer (sore that forms on the skin or the lining of an organ that does not heal properly) with necrosis (death of cells or tissue through disease or injury) of the muscle. A review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and care-screening tool), dated 2/18/2023, indicated Resident 78 was cognitively (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene and total dependence with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 78 had functional limitations in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in one leg and no functional ROM limitations in both arms. A review of Resident 78's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 78 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78 required moderate assistance for dressing, toilet hygiene, and personal hygiene and partial/moderate assistance with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 78 had functional limitations in ROM in one leg and no functional ROM limitations in both arms. A review of Resident 78's care plans, indicated there was not a care plan addressing Resident 78's right knee contracture or a care plan to maintain or prevent decline in the resident's ROM to both legs and mobility. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 1:20 pm, in Resident 78's room, Resident 78 was observed lying in bed with both knees bent. Resident 78's right leg was observed to be amputated below the knee and was resting on a pillow with the knee fully bent. No splint was observed on Resident 78's right leg. Resident 78 tried to straighten both knees but could not. Resident 78 stated he was unable to straighten both knees and needed help with leg exercises because both of his legs felt very stiff. Resident 78 stated he never had a splint for the right leg, had not received help with leg exercises for about a year, and required assistance getting into a wheelchair, getting dressed and toileting.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident 78's MDS, dated [DATE] and 2/1/2024, and care plans was reviewed. The MDSD stated a comprehensive and individualized care plan was developed for every resident and used as a guideline to ensure proper care was provided for each resident. The MDSD confirmed Resident 78 was identified as having mobility deficits and functional ROM limitations in one leg both upon admission and during the most recent annual assessment. The MDSD stated if mobility and functional ROM deficits were identified on the MDS, a care plan should have been created to ensure interventions such as physical therapy, occupational therapy (OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) and/or restorative nursing assistant (RNA) services were part of the resident's care plan interventions. The MDSD reviewed Resident 78's care plan and confirmed there was no care plan and interventions in place to maintain or prevent a decline in mobility and ROM of Resident 78's both legs. The MDSD stated Resident 78's care plan should have included goals and interventions to maintain and prevent a decline in Resident 78's mobility and ROM of both legs since Resident 78 was at high risk for contracture development and a functional decline due to his diagnosis of a right below knee amputation and decreased mobility. The MDSD stated it was important for care plans to be developed, implemented, and accurate to ensure the appropriate care was provided to each individual resident. The MDSD stated the residents may not receive the appropriate treatment and services they required if it was not care planned. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 2:52 pm, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated comprehensive care plans were developed for every resident and were used as a guide for staff to identify the type of care to provide the residents in the facility. The DON stated a care plan with goals and interventions should be developed for all residents who were identified as having ROM and mobility limitations upon assessments such as the MDS, observations, and/or by report from the resident or staff. The DON stated it was important for care plans to be developed, implemented, and accurate to ensure the appropriate care was provided to each individual resident. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive, revised 2008, the P/P indicated the facility would develop a comprehensive care plan directed towards achieving and maintaining optimal status of health, functional ability, and quality of life. The P/P indicated the care plan was individualized by identified resident problems, unique characteristics, strengths, and individual needs and should be realistic, have measurable goals and time frames, and responsibility for meeting the specific goals. The P/P indicated the care plan was based on the fundamental information gathered by the MDS, resident assessment protocols, and information gathered through regular observation and assessment.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide treatments and services to prevent and/or limit a decline in range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint [where two bones meet]) and mobility (ability to move) for two of six sampled residents (Residents 78 and 29) with identified ROM and mobility concerns by failing to: a. Provide treatment and services to maintain and prevent a decline in mobility and ROM of Resident 78's legs. b. Provide a right knee extension splint (rigid material or apparatus used to support and immobilize a broken bone or impaired joint) to Resident 78's right leg in accordance with Physical Therapy (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) recommendations on 2/14/2023. c. Implement the Restorative Nursing Program (RNP, nursing program that uses restorative nursing aides [RNAs] to help residents maintain their function and joint mobility) for ambulation (to walk), five times a week, as established and recommended by PT to maintain Resident 29's mobility upon discharge from PT services on 11/10/2023. These deficient practices led to the decline in Resident 78's mobility and left knee ROM and had the potential to lead to further contractures (loss of motion of a joint associated with stiffness and joint deformity) and a decline in Resident 78 and Resident 29's overall physical functioning and quality of life. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 78's admission Record indicated Resident 78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including an acquired absence of the right leg below the knee (amputation of the right leg below the level of the knee), right knee contracture, and chronic left ankle ulcer (sore that forms on the skin or the lining of an organ that does not heal properly) with necrosis (death of cells or tissue through disease or injury) of the muscle. A review of Resident 78's PT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment (PT Eval), dated 2/14/2023, indicated Resident 78 was referred to PT services for an evaluation due to limited and painful movement, decreased ROM, decreased strength, and decreased functional mobility (ability to move around and perform daily tasks). The PT Eval indicated Resident 78's left leg ROM was Within Functional Limits (WFL, sufficient joint movement to functionally complete daily routines). The PT Eval indicated Resident 78's right leg ROM was impaired at the hip and the knee. The PT Eval indicated Resident 78's right knee was contracted in a bent position with knee extension measured at negative 80 degrees (normal range equals zero degrees). The PT Eval indicated a recommendation for Resident 78 to wear a knee extension splint on the right knee at all times to maintain joint integrity (strength, stability, and movement of the joint). A review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and care-screening tool), dated 2/18/2023, indicated Resident 78 was cognitively (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, dressing, toilet (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056144 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 41 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 056144 B.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some use, and personal hygiene and total dependence with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 78 had functional limitations in ROM (limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in one leg and no functional ROM limitations in both arms. A review of Resident 78's PT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 78 required set-up assistance with transfers. The PT Discharge Summary indicated a Restorative Nursing Program was not indicated at the time of discharge. The PT Discharge Summary indicated the reason for discharge from PT services was highest practical level achieved. A review of Resident 78's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 78 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78 required moderate assistance for dressing, toilet hygiene, and personal hygiene and partial/moderate assistance with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 78 had functional limitations in ROM in one leg and no functional ROM limitations in both arms. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 1:20 pm, in Resident 78's room, Resident 78 was observed lying in bed with both knees bent. Resident 78's right leg was observed to be amputated below the level of the knee and was resting on a pillow with the knee fully bent. No splint was observed on Resident 78's right leg. Resident 78 tried to straighten both knees but could not. Resident 78 stated he was unable to straighten both knees and needed help with leg exercises because both of his legs felt very stiff. Resident 78 stated he never had a splint for the right leg, had not received help with leg exercises for about a year, and required assistance from staff getting into a wheelchair, getting dressed and toileting. During an interview on 4/30/2024 at 3:04 pm, with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) who was also a physical therapist, the DOR stated most residents in the facility were either on skilled therapy services and/or RNA services to maintain and improve their level of function and prevent any declines. The DOR stated any resident in the facility who was identified as having less than normal ROM in the arms and/or legs should be on skilled therapy services or in the RNA program to prevent functional declines and contractures. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/1/2024 at 2:43 pm, with the DOR, Resident 78's PT records was reviewed. The DOR confirmed Resident 78 was evaluated by PT on 2/14/2023 and discharged from PT services on 4/18/2023. The DOR confirmed Resident 78's leg left ROM was WFL which meant Resident 78's leg ROM was not within normal range but had sufficient ROM to perform activities of daily living (ADLs, basic activities such as dressing and toileting) and transfers. The DOR confirmed Resident 78 had a right knee contracture, was lacking 80 degrees of right knee extension, and recommended a right knee extension splint to be worn at all times to maintain joint integrity. The DOR stated he did not remember if a right knee splint was ever issued to Resident 78 as recommended by PT on the PT Eval on 2/14/2023. The DOR stated he did not recall why Resident 78 was discharged from PT services and why he did not recommend RNA services upon discharge to maintain Resident 78's mobility and ROM. The DOR stated the facility did not have a monitoring system in place to detect changes in a resident's ROM and mobility and depended on the residents, nursing, or other direct care staff to inform the rehabilitation department if a resident's ROM and/or mobility declined. During an observation on 5/1/2024 at 2:57 pm, in Resident 78's room, the DOR assessed Resident 78's mobility and ROM of both legs. Resident 78 was observed lying in bed with both knees bent. Resident 78 tried to extend the left knee but could not. The DOR tried to straighten Resident 78's left knee but could not.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some contracted in a bent position. The DOR bent and straightened Resident 78's right knee minimally. The DOR measured Resident 78's left knee and stated Resident 78's left knee ROM was negative 48 degrees or lacking 48 degrees of motion to attain a fully straight position. Resident 78 sat up at the edge of the bed without assistance. While at the edge of the bed, the DOR placed a gait belt (safety device worn around the waist that can be used help safely transfer a person from one surface to another or while walking) around Resident 78's waist and moved Resident 78's wheelchair to the left side of the bed. The DOR grabbed Resident 78's gait belt and assisted Resident 78 onto the wheelchair. Resident 78 sat in the wheelchair for two minutes and transferred back to bed with the DOR's assistance. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/1/2024 at 3:25 pm, Resident 78's PT notes and PT Eval dated 2/14/2023 was reviewed. The DOR confirmed Resident 78 had a decline in left knee ROM and mobility. The DOR stated Resident 78's left knee felt very stiff. The DOR stated he was unable to straighten Resident 78's left knee and the knee joint felt hard when trying to straighten the leg. The DOR stated the PT Eval, dated 2/14/2023 indicated Resident 78's left leg ROM was WFL and did not indicate any ROM limitations. The DOR stated Resident 78's right leg was contracted and had minimal ROM. The DOR stated Resident 78 could have benefited from a right knee extension splint to protect the knee joint and to ensure Resident 78's knee ROM did not worsen. The DOR stated either the rehabilitation department or the RNA applied splints to the residents once recommended by therapy. The DOR stated the RNA did not apply the right knee splint as recommended by PT since RNA services were never ordered for Resident 78. The DOR reviewed the PT notes and stated there was no documented evidence to indicate Resident 78 received or wore a right knee splint as recommended by PT on 2/14/2023. The DOR stated Resident 78 required set-up assistance for transfers at the time of discharge from PT on 4/18/2023 and now required contact guard assistance (touching assistance, minimal physical contact provided to the resident by staff for safety and/or stabilization) for transfers to and from a wheelchair which was a functional decline. The DOR stated nursing should have notified the rehabilitation department when they noticed Resident 78's left knee was losing ROM and/or when he required more assistance for transfers but did not. The DOR stated the rehabilitation department was unaware Resident 78 had a functional decline because they were never notified by nursing and there was no other routine screening or monitoring systems in place to check for declines. The DOR confirmed Resident 78 did not have treatment and services in place to maintain and prevent a decline in ROM and mobility after discharge from PT services on 4/18/2023. The DOR stated if residents did not receive treatment and services to maintain ROM and mobility such as rehab services, RNA services, and/or splints, it could potentially lead to a functional decline and contracture development. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/2/2024 at 11:14 am, with the MDS Director (MDSD), Resident 78's MDS dated [DATE] and 2/1/2024 and PT notes was reviewed. The MDSD confirmed Resident 78 was identified as having mobility deficits and functional ROM limitations in one leg both upon admission and during the most recent annual assessment. The MDSD stated if mobility and functional ROM deficits were identified on the MDS, the resident should have been given treatment and services such as PT, Occupational Therapy (OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) and/or RNA services to maintain and prevent a decline. The MDSD reviewed Resident 78's clinical record and confirmed Resident 78 did not have any treatment or services in place to maintain mobility and ROM after discharge from PT services on 4/18/2023. The MDSD stated Resident 78 was at high risk for contracture development and a functional decline due to his diagnosis of a right below knee amputation and decreased mobility and should have been on therapy or RNA services to address the decline in ROM and mobility identified in the MDS but (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056144 If continuation sheet Page 12 of 41 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 056144 B.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some was not. The MDSD stated if residents did not receive treatment and services to maintain ROM and mobility, it could potentially lead to a contracture development and a decline in function. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 2:52 pm, with the the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the facility provided therapy and/or RNA services to ensure residents maintained their current level of function and did not have a decline in function, mobility, and ROM. The DON stated the rehabilitation department assessed residents for splinting needs and communicated the recommendation to nursing or RNA to ensure the recommended splint was applied for contracture management. The DON stated if residents did not receive treatment and services to maintain ROM and mobility such as therapy, RNA services, and splints, it could potentially lead to a functional decline, increased weakness, muscle atrophy (decrease in size or wasting away of a body part of tissue), and contractures. The DON stated the facility did not have any policies and procedures for maintaining a resident's ROM and mobility and contracture management. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled, Use of Assistive Devices, revised June 2023, the P/P indicated the facility would provide assistive devices such as orthotic or prosthetic equipment for those residents who required them to maintain or improve function and/or dignity. The P/P indicated the nursing, dietary, social services, and therapy departments would work together to ensure availability of devices such as ordering and/or replacement. 2. A review of Resident 29's admission Record indicated Resident 29 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted the resident on 8/11/2022 with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement), right sided hemiplegia (weakness to one side of the body) and hemiparesis (inability to move one side of the body), and muscle weakness. A review of Resident 29's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 29 had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 29 required set-up assistance for eating, partial/moderate assistance for upper body dressing, transfers, and walking, and maximal/substantial assistance for toilet hygiene, lower body dressing, and rolling to both sides. The MDS indicated Resident 29 had functional ROM limitations in one arm and one leg. A review of Resident 29's PT Discharge summary, dated [DATE], indicated the reason for discharge from PT services was Maximum Potential Achieved, referred for RNP. The PT Discharge Summary indicated Resident 29's prognosis (likely outcome or course of a disease, illness, or problem) to maintain his current level of function was excellent with participation in RNP. The PT Discharge Summary indicated the physical therapist established and recommended a Restorative Ambulation Program for RNA to ambulate with Resident 29 using a front wheeled walker (FWW, mobility device with two wheels in the front used for support when standing or walking), as tolerated, once daily, five times a week. A review of Resident 29's February 2024 RNA Documentation Survey Report, indicated for RNA to ambulate with Resident 29 using a FWW, five times a week, as tolerated. The squares on the Documentation Survey Report indicated NA on the following days: 2/4/2024, 2/12/2024, 2/13/2024, 2/14/2024, 2/15/2024, 2/16/2024, 2/17/2024, 2/21/2024, 2/22/2024, 2/23/2024, and 2/25/2024.

F 0688 3/24/2024. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of Resident 29's April 2024 RNA Documentation Survey Report, indicated for RNA to ambulate with Resident 29 using a FWW, five times a week, as tolerated. The squares on the Documentation Survey Report indicated NA on the following days: 4/3/2024, 4/5/2024, 4/6/2024, 4/7/2024, 4/10/2024, 4/12/2024, 4/14/2024, 4/23/2024, 4/26/2024, and 4/27/2024. The square on the Documentation Survey Report on 4/9/2024 was blank. Residents Affected - Some During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 8:46 am, in Resident 29's room, Resident 29 was observed lying in bed. Resident 29 stated staff assisted him with walking exercises two times a week. Resident 29 stated he was able to walk using a FWW with assistance but was unable to walk far distances due to fatigue and left knee pain. During an interview on 4/30/2024 at 3:04 pm, with the DOR, the DOR stated the rehabilitation department referred residents to the RNA program to ensure the residents maintained their current level of function after discharge from therapy services. The DOR stated the licensed therapist established an ambulation and/or exercise program for the resident prior to discharge from therapy services, discussed and trained the RNAs in the established program, and updated the resident's care plan and nursing task to reflect the type of exercises and frequency of the program for the RNAs to carry out. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/2/2024 at 10:14 am, with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), Resident 29's RNA Documentation Survey Reports for the months of February 2024, March 2024, and April 2024 was reviewed. The DSD reviewed Resident 29's RNA Documentation Survey Reports for the months of February 2024, March 2024, and April 2024 and confirmed Resident 29 had RNA tasks for RNA to provide RNA ambulation exercises five times a week. The DSD stated a blank square and NA (Not Applicable) on the RNA Documentation Survey Report indicated the resident was not seen for RNA treatment that day. The DSD confirmed Residents 29 missed 8 days of scheduled RNA services for the month of February, 8 days of scheduled RNA services for the month of March, and four days of scheduled RNA services for the month of April. The DSD stated she did not know why Resident 29 did not receive RNA treatments five times a week per PT's established ambulation program and task. The DSD stated it was important for RNA to provide services as indicated per the RNA task and established RNA program because missed sessions could place residents at risk for a functional decline. The DSD stated most of the RNA referrals were from the rehabilitation department to maintain the resident's current level of function after discharge from therapy services. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 2:52 pm, with the DON, the DON stated the purpose of the RNA program was to maintain a resident's current level of function. The DON stated missed RNA treatments could potentially cause a resident to experience a decline in overall function, mobility, and ROM. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P), titled Restorative Nursing Programs, revised December 2021, indicated the facility provided maintenance and restorative services designed to maintain or improve a resident's abilities to the highest practicable level. The P/P indicated the concept of the RNA program was to focus on achieving and maintain optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. The P/P indicated the interdisciplinary team would ensure the ongoing review, evaluation, and decision-making regarding services needed to maintain or improve resident's abilities in accordance with the resident's comprehensive assessment, goals, and preferences. The P/P indicated residents would receive services from RNAs when they were assessed to have a need for RNA services, which included passive or active ROM, amputation/prosthesis care, and training and skill practice in transfers or walking.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. 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 accurately monitor and record the total amount of calories received via enteral feeding (nutrition that bypasses the mouth and delivers via the stomach) for one of three residents (Resident 2). Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 2 not receiving an adequate amount of calories which could potentially lead to weight loss. Findings: A review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Resident 2's diagnoses included dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), gastrostomy ([g-tube] the creation of an artificial external opening into the stomach for nutritional support), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). A review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/5/2023, indicated Resident 2 did not have capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 2/27/2024, indicated Resident 2 was moderately cognitively impaired (ability to think and reason). The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for hygiene, toileting, dressing, bathing, and eating. A review of Resident 2' Physician Orders, dated 9/11/2023, indicated Resident 2 was to receive Jevity 1.2 (a type of liquid feeding) via enteral pump (a feeding pump that moves fluid at a controlled rate to an enteral site such as a g-tube) at an infused rate of 50 milliliters ([ml] a unit of measurement) per hour for 20 hours for a total of 1000 ml. The orders indicated to begin the feeding at 2 p.m. daily until the dose was delivered. A review of Resident 2's care plan for altered nutrition and hydration, undated, indicated to administer enteral feeding as ordered to prevent unintended weight loss or dehydration. During an observation on 4/29/2024 at 10:24 a.m., Resident 2 was observed asleep in bed with the enteral feeding connected to the resident but turned off. Resident 2's Jevity 1.2 bottle was dated hung on 4/28/2024 at 6 a.m., and with 700 ml out of 1500 ml left in the bottle. During an interview on 4/29/2024 at 1:22 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated he turned off Resident 2's enteral pump off around 10:00 a.m. LVN 2 stated Resident 2 received a total amount of 786 ml of Jevity 1.2 since 4/28/2024. LVN 2 stated he would start a new bottle of Jevity 1.2 at 2 p.m. as ordered. During an observation on 4/30/2024 at 9:29 a.m., Resident 2 had Jevity 1.2 infusing at 50 ml per hour. Resident 2's Jevity 1.2 bottle was dated hung on 4/29/2024 at 3:35 p.m., and with 1000 ml out of 1500 ml left in the bottle.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 9:47 a.m., LVN 3, LVN 3 stated Resident 2's current feeding was hung at 2 a.m. from the previous shift, and that the current rate was 50 ml per hour, with approximately 750 ml of Jevity 1.2 left in the bottle. LVN 3 stated according to the time the bottle was hung, the rate of infusion, and the current time, Resident 2 should have received approximately 375 ml. LVN 3 stated per the total amount fed indicated on the machine, Resident 2 received 957 ml. LVN 3 stated she did not know why there was a discrepancy and was unsure of the total amount Resident 2 actually received. LVN 3 stated Resident 2's enteral pump total fed amount should be reset upon finishing the feeding dose. LVN 3 proceeded to turn off the enteral pump and stated it should be turned off at 10:00 a.m. everyday. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 9:56 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated the total volume fed on the enteral pump should match the order. RN 1 stated the total fed amount should only be cleared after Resident 2 had the full 1000 ml. RN 1 turned on Resident 2's enteral feeding and stated the total amount was 970 ml, but that it should be 1000 ml. RN 1 stated the nurses documented in the medication administration record (MAR) in real time when the feeding was administered. RN 1 stated the concern with the discrepancy of Resident 2's total fed amount on the enteral pump, the infusion rate, and the time the Jevity 1.2 bottle was started was that Resident 2 could lose weight from a lack of adequate nutrition. During an interview on 5/1/2024 at 10:13 a.m., with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated on 4/30/2024 at 2 p.m., he administered Resident 2's feeding. During an interview on 5/1/2024, at 10:46 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated for enteral feedings the order must be followed which included the type of formula, the rate of the feeding, the total number of hours to be infused, and the total volume fed. The DON stated the total fed amount and the rate of a feeding given via the enteral pump had to be set on the pump by the nurse, and after the total fed amount was complete it should be reset. The DON stated when nurses signed the Resident 2's MAR, it did not reflect the actual time given but the actual time given was the time indicated on the Jevity 1.2 bottle. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Enteral Nutritional Therapy, undated, the P&P indicated documentation may include the date, time, type, and amount of feeding administered.

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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 37) did not receive unnecessary psychotropic medications (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) when: 1. Lorazepam (brand name Ativan, used to act on the brain and nerves to produce a calming effect) was administered for behaviors not indicated in the physician order or resident's care plan. 2. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) observations were used for clinical justification in determining whether to attempt a gradual dose reduction (GDR, the stepwise tapering of a dose to determine if symptoms, conditions, or risks can be managed by a lower dose or if the dose or medication can be discontinued) for Resident 37's lorazepam order. 3. Resident 37's attending physician did not document the risk benefit analysis for continued administration of lorazepam beyond 14 days. These deficient practices placed Residents 37 at risk for avoidable harm from unwanted adverse effects (a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or intervention) related to psychotherapeutic medication use. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 37's admission Record indicated Resident 37 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was most recently readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 37's admitting diagnoses included metabolic encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by some agent or condition), Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions), dementia (a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment), and history of falling. A review of Resident 37's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care-planning/care-screening tool), dated 4/2/2024, indicated Resident 37 had severely impaired cognition (problems with a person's ability to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 37 did not exhibit any hallucinations, delusions, or behavioral symptoms. A review of Resident 37's care plan, dated 5/4/2023, indicated Resident 37 had anxiety (feeling of unease, excessive worry). The staff's interventions indicated to monitor for repetitive motions and administer anti-anxiety medication as ordered.

A review of Resident 37's care plan, dated 5/4/2023, did not indicate a revision to the targeted behaviors for administration of lorazepam. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 5/1/2024 at 2:58 p.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD reviewed Resident 37's undated medical record titled Psychotropic Behavior Summary GDR Form. The SSD stated the form was used to review any psychotropic medications (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) Resident 37 was receiving. The SSD stated the number of behavior/mood episodes documented on the form included any behaviors documented, not just the specific behavior indicated for administration of the medication being reviewed. The SSD stated she also did not differentiate between behaviors documented by the CNAs or the licensed nurses. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 5/1/2024 at 4:15 p.m., with the DON, the DON reviewed Resident 37's medical records titled Psychotropic Behavior Summary GDR Form, dated from 2023 to 2024, and Resident 37's care plan for anxiety, dated 5/4/2023. The DON stated the findings on the form were presented to Resident 37's physician to determine if a gradual dose reduction (GDR) was appropriate and to identify any unnecessary medications Resident 37 might be receiving. The DON stated a GDR was a safe way to determine if Resident 37 could tolerate a lower dose of lorazepam. The DON stated it was not in the CNAs scope of practice to assess residents, and stated CNA observations were not supposed to be used as clinical justification for the continued use of lorazepam. The DON further stated that the behaviors documented on Resident 37's records titled Psychotropic Behavior Summary GDR form, dated from 2023 to 2024, were not specific to the behaviors Resident 37's lorazepam was ordered for. The DON stated the lorazepam was only supposed to be administered when Resident 37 displayed repetitive motion. The DON stated there was a risk for irreversible side effects and complications related to psychotropic use in elderly residents and residents with dementia. During an interview on 5/2/2024 at 10:31 a.m., with the facility's Consultant Pharmacist (CP), the CP stated lorazepam should only be administered for the indicated behavior. The CP stated Resident 37 met the criteria for an elderly patient (age 65 or older) and stated lorazepam dosage in the elderly should not exceed two (2) milligrams a day per the manufacturer's guidelines. The CP stated there was potential for Resident 37 to experience respiratory depression, sedation, and risk for falls related to lorazepam use at doses beyond the manufacturer's guidelines. The CP stated psychotropics should be administered at the least amount required to be effective, which was why GDRs were important.

Ensure expired Ozempic (once-weekly injection to manage blood glucose levels) was removed and discarded for one out of three residents (Resident 51) medications reviewed in two of two inspected medication carts (Middle Station Medication Cart). 2. Ensure medication remaining at the facility after two of two residents (Resident 55 and 88) was discharged from the facility was removed from active supply, marked discontinued and securely stored until destroyed in accordance with the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Discontinued Medications, dated 8/2019. These deficient practices increased the risk that Residents 51 could have received medication that had become ineffective or toxic due to improper storage or labeling, which had the potential to lead to health complications related to Diabetes (a group of disease that result in too much sugar in the blood), hospitalization or death. For Resident 55 and Resident 88, these deficient practices had the potential for inadvertent (accidental) administration to Resident 55 and 88, misuse, and medication errors. Findings: 1.

This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 65 experience discomfort due to indigestion. Findings: A review of Resident 65's admission Record indicated Resident 65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 65's diagnoses included gastro-esophageal reflux disease ([GERD] a digestive disease in which the stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining), constipation, and nausea with vomiting. A review of Resident 65's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/10/2023, indicated Resident 65 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. A review of Resident 65's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care screening tool), dated 3/6/2024, indicated Resident 65 was cognitively intact (ability to think and reason). A review of Resident 65's GERD care plan, dated 1/27/2023, indicated Resident 65's health goals was to remain free from discomfort or complications related to GERD by avoiding foods or beverages that irritate the esophageal (the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach) lining such as alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, acidic or spicy foods, and fried or fatty foods.

Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure all food items stored in the kitchen and dry food storage room were labeled and dated, and failed to ensure safe food preparation practices in the kitchen were followed. These deficient practices had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination (transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another) that could lead to foodborne illness for residents who received food from kitchen. Findings: During the initial tour of the facility's kitchen on 4/29/2024 at 8:30 a.m., the following was observed: 1. In the refrigerator, there were 10 glasses of milk,10 glasses of juice, one medium sized plastic container of cooked beans, and one medium sized container of apple sauce without a date, and three cartons of milk open without a date. 2. In the refrigerator, there was one large size box of margarine and three plastic bags of uncooked sausages without a date. 3. On top of the kitchen table, there was two medium sized containers with previously cooked rice without a date. 4. In the dry storage room, there was one big sized container with dry uncooked beans unlabeled and without a date. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/29/2024 at 9:00 a.m. with [NAME] 1, in the kitchen, [NAME] 1 stated she did not know when the milk, juice, cooked beans, and apple sauce were prepared. [NAME] 1 stated dates were necessary to know when food was prepared and when the food should be discarded before expiration. [NAME] 1 stated the box of margarine and bags of sausage were delivered to the facility last week. [NAME] 1 stated she did not remember the date. [NAME] 1 stated she should have labeled the margarine and sausage bag with the delivery date and use by date. [NAME] 1 stated she was busy and forgot.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide Occupational Therapy (OT, provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) services to one of six sampled residents (Resident 78) who had activities of daily living (ADL, basic activities such as eating, dressing, toileting) and functional mobility (ability to move around and perform daily tasks) concerns. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice prevented Resident 78 from receiving skilled therapy services to maintain or achieve the highest practicable level of function. Findings: A review of Resident 78's admission Record indicated Resident 78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including an acquired absence of the right leg below the knee (amputation of the right leg below the level of the knee), right knee contracture (shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue leading to deformity and rigidity of joints), and chronic left ankle ulcer (sore that forms on the skin or the lining of an organ that does not heal properly) with necrosis (death of cells or tissue through disease or injury) of the muscle. A review of Resident 78's Order Summary Report, dated 2/13/2023, indicated for Resident 78 was to receive an occupational therapy (OT) evaluation and treatment. A review of Resident 78's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment and care-screening tool), dated 2/18/2023, indicated Resident 78 was cognitively (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) intact. The MDS indicated Resident 78 required extensive assistance for bed mobility, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene and total dependence with transfers. The MDS indicated Resident 78 had functional limitations in range of motion (ROM, limited ability to move a joint that interferes with daily functioning, including activities of daily living, or places the resident at risk of injury) in one leg and no functional ROM limitations in both arms. A review of Resident 78's OT Evaluation and Plan of Treatment dated 2/14/2023, indicated Resident 78 was referred to OT due to a decline in strength, balance, activity tolerance, and safety awareness impacting functional performance. The document indicated Resident 78's prior level of function (functional abilities prior to the condition causing the need for rehabilitation services) was independent in functional mobility and activities of daily living (ADLs, basic activities such as eating, toileting, and dressing). The document indicated Resident 78 required minimal assistance (MIN-A, helper provides 1-25% assistance to complete the task) for hygiene, grooming and upper body dressing, and maximal assistance (required 51-75% physical assistance to perform tasks) for lower body dressing, toileting, and toilet transfers. The document indicated Resident 78 had good rehabilitation potential and was very motivated to return to his prior level of function. The document indicated Resident 78 was at risk for a further decline and immobility (state of not being able to move around) without skilled OT services. The document indicated Resident 78 would receive OT services five times a week for eight weeks. A review of Resident 78's OT Discharge summary dated [DATE], indicated Resident 78 required standby assistance (presence of another person within close proximity for safety during performance of an activity) for toileting, set-up/clean up assistance for hygiene/grooming and upper body dressing, (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056144 If continuation sheet Page 30 of 41 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 056144 B.

During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/1/2024 at 1:20 pm, in Resident 78's room, Resident 78 was observed lying in bed with both knees bent. Resident 78's right leg was observed to be amputated below the level of the knee and was resting on a pillow with the knee fully bent. Resident 78 tried to straighten both knees but could not. Resident 78 stated he was unable to straighten both knees and needed help with leg exercises because both of his legs felt very stiff. Resident 78 stated he had not received help with leg exercises for about a year and required assistance getting into a wheelchair, getting dressed and toileting. During an interview on 4/30/2024 at 3:04 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), the DOR stated the facility was responsible for providing the care and services the residents needed, including rehabilitation services regardless of payment source. The DOR stated if insurance coverage ran out and a resident still had skilled therapy needs, the therapist should notify the DOR who would in turn notify the case manager to request re-authorization (process of giving someone the ability to access a resource) to continue therapy services from insurance. The DOR stated the facility should explore alternate means of providing services as needed while waiting for re-authorization or if re-authorization was denied. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/2/2024 at 12:15 p.m. with Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1), Resident 78's OT records were reviewed. OT 1 confirmed Resident 78 was evaluated by OT on 2/14/2023 and was discharged from OT services on 4/18/2023. OT 1 stated Resident 78 was discharged from OT services per physician or case manager which meant insurance coverage ended. OT 1 stated the physician did not discontinue OT services. OT 1 stated she was informed Resident 78 no longer had insurance coverage for skilled therapy services and discharged Resident 78 from OT services despite Resident 78 having skilled OT needs. OT 1 stated Resident 78 made good progress in therapy, continued to require assistance with ADLs and functional mobility, and could have benefitted from continued skilled OT services once insurance ended. OT 1 stated she should have informed the DOR, case manager, or business office to request re-authorization or explore alternate ways of obtaining services but did not. OT 1 stated if residents who benefitted or required skilled therapy services did not receive them, it could lead to a functional decline.
