F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the safe self-administration of medication for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 745). Residents Affected - Some * Resident 745 had a bottle of the Glucosamine/Chondroitin (supplement) medication at the bedside. Resident 745 did not have a physician's order to keep the medication at bedside. Resident 745 reported to self-administer the medication despite not being qualified to self-administer. This failure had the potential to negatively impact Resident 745's physiological well-being as well as the potential for the medication interactions and inappropriate use of medications. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication- Self Administration revised 1/2017 showed on admission or shortly thereafter, each resident would be assessed to determine if they want to self-administer their medication. It is the responsibility of the IDT to determine if it is safe for the resident to self-administer drugs before the resident may exercise that right. The IDT must determine whether the resident or the nursing staff would be responsible for storage and documentation of the administration of the medications, as well as the location where the medications will be administered. Medical record review for Resident 745 was initiated on 3/5/25. Resident 745 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. On 3/6/25 at 0814 hours, during an observation in Resident 745's room, there was a bottle of the Glucosamine/Chondroitin medication in the resident's bedside drawer. Review of Resident 745's H&P examination dated 3/2/25, showed Resident 745 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 745's Order Summary Report dated 3/1/25, failed to show a physician's order for the self-administration of the Glucosamine/Chondroitin medication. Review of Resident 745's Self Administration of Medication assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 745 was not a candidate for the self-administration of medications. On 3/6/25 at 1113 hours, a concurrent interview, observation, and medical record review for Resident 745 was conducted with RN 2. Resident 745 was observed in bed with the Glucosamine/Chondroitin medication at Resident 745's bedside. RN 2 verified the above findings. When asked, Resident 745 stated his daughter brought the medication to the facility and he had self-administered two tablets the (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0554 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some day before. RN 2 reviewed Resident 745's medical record and stated Resident 745 was not a candidate for the self-administration of medications. RN 2 further stated the potential risks of having the medication at the bedside when the resident was not a candidate for the self-administration of medication were the drug to drug interactions or the over consumption of the medications. On 3/10/25 at 1234 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated all the residents who wanted to self-administer their medications should have a self-administration medication assessment completed. If the assessment showed the resident was not qualified to self-administer the medications, then the resident should not have any medication at the bedside. On 3/10/25 at 1319 hours, the DON, Administrator, and Nurse Consultant were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the MDS was coded accurately for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 34). This failure had the potential for the resident to not receive individualized plans of care to address individual care needs. Residents Affected - Some Findings: Medical record review for Resident 34 was initiated on 3/5/25. Resident 34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 34's H&P examination dated 12/27/24, showed Resident 34 had ESRD and was receiving hemodialysis (a medical procedure that filters waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to do so). Review of Resident 34's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 34 was not coded for receiving dialysis treatments. On 3/6/25 at 1003 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 34 was conducted with the MDS Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator stated Resident 34 had been receiving dialysis treatments for over a year. The MDS Coordinator reviewed Resident 34's medical record and verified the above findings. The MDS Coordinator stated the MDS assessment was coded incorrectly. On 3/10/25 at 1319 hours, the DON, Administrator, and Nurse Consultant were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to update the care plan regarding removing of oxygen for one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 49). This failure had the potential for not providing necessary care and services to the resident. Findings: On 3/5/25 at 0838 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 49 was observed lying in bed with a nasal cannula on Resident 49's face. The nasal prong was not in Resident 49's nose. Resident 49's nasal cannula was distributing oxygen at 2 LPM and connected to the oxygen concentrator. Medical record review was initiated for Resident 49 on 3/5/25. Resident 49 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 49's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 49 had severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident 49's Order Summary Report for 2/25/25, showed a physician's order dated 2/1/25, to administer oxygen at 2 LPM continuously via nasal cannula to keep oxygen saturation level up to 92% every shift. On 3/5/25 at 0842 hours, an observation and concurrent interview was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 verified the nasal cannula was on Resident 49's face but the nasal prong was not in Resident 49's nose. LVN 3 stated the licensed nurses checked Resident 49's nasal cannula every two hours because the resident pulled out his nasal cannula. LVN 3 placed back the nasal prong in Resident 49's nose. LVN 3 took Resident 49's oxygen saturation level and it was 91%. However, Resident 49's plan of care did not address the resident's behavior of pulling out the nasal cannula. On 3/7/25 at 1335 hours, an interview was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 acknowledged the above findings. RN 2 stated the licensed nurse should do visual checks of the residents including the placement of nasal cannula every two hours. RN 2 further stated the licensed nurse should adjust the nasal cannula on the neck area so it would not be dislodged right away. RN 2 stated the licensed nurse should also take into consideration that the nasal cannula was not too tight so it would not cause pressure injury on the resident's ear. On 3/7/25 at 1645 hours, the Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings.

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, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to ensure one of 19 sampled residents (Resident 745) and one nonsampled resident (Resident 31) attained and maintained their highest practicable physical well-being. Residents Affected - Few * Resident 745's measurements of abdominal girth were not documented. * The licensed nurse did not check Resident 31's last bowel movement prior to administering the stool softener medication to determine if it needed to be hold as per the physician's order. These failures had the potential for delay in providing the necessary care and services to the residents. Findings: 1. Medical record review for Resident 745 was initiated on 3/5/25. Resident 745 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of perforated gastric ulcer (a condition where an ulcer in the stomach wall breaks through, creating a hole that allows stomach contents to leak into the abdominal cavity). Review of Resident 745's H&P examination dated 3/2/25, showed Resident 745 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 745's Order Summary Report dated 3/6/25, showed a physician's order dated 3/2/25, to measure Resident 745's abdominal girth before breakfast every two days at 0630 hours. If the abdominal girth was greater than 3 cm in size, the staff was to call the physician. Review of Resident 745's MAR for March 2025 showed for the measurements of Resident 745's abdominal girth on 3/3 and 3/5/25 at 0630 hours, were documented with a check. However, there were no measurements documented for 3/3 and 3/5/25. Review of Resident 745's Licensed Nurses Progress Notes failed to show the documentation of the measurements of Resident 745's abdominal girth. On 3/6/25 at 1125 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 745 was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 stated Resident 745 was at the facility for status post a perforated ulcer. RN 2 reviewed Resident 745's medical record and verified the above findings. RN 2 stated the check meant the nurses had measured Resident 745's abdominal girth. When asked what the measurements were, RN 2 was unable to find the documentation of the measurements and whether the measurements were compared. RN 2 further stated the measurements should be documented and compared with the resident's baseline abdominal girth to determine if there was an increase in the girth size. On 3/10/25 at 1234 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated if there was a physician's order to measure the abdominal girth, she expected the staff to measure and document the measurements to track and trend the size of the abdomen. On 3/10/25 at 1319 hours, the DON, Administrator, and Nurse Consultant were informed and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056145 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 39 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 056145 B.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few acknowledged the above findings.2. Review of the facility's P&P titled Medication Administration - General Guidelines dated 10/2017 showed the medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally authorized to do so. Personnel authorized to administer medications do so only after they have familiarized themselves with the medication. On 3/6/25 at 0902 hours, during a medication administration observation, LVN 2 administered one capsule of docusate sodium (stool softener) 250 mg to Resident 31. Medical record review was initiated for Resident 31 on 3/6/25. Resident 31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 31's H&P examination dated 10/8/24, showed the resident had the capacity to understand and make decisions. Review of Resident 31's Order Summary Report for 2/26/25, showed a physician's order dated 8/18/15, to administer dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (same as docusate sodium) oral capsule 250 mg one capsule by mouth in the morning as stool softener for constipation, and to hold if with loose stool. On 3/6/25 at 1125 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 verified she did not ask Resident 31 if she had loose stool. LVN 2 stated she forgot to ask when Resident 31's last bowel movement was. LVN 2 stated Resident 31 was alert and could verbalize if he had loose stool. LVN 2 further stated she should have checked Resident 31's medical record if he had bowel movement before she gave the medication. LVN 2 stated she should have asked Resident 31 too if he had bowel movement. On 3/7/25 at 1402 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON acknowledged the above findings. The DON stated the licensed nurse should have asked Resident 31 about his bowel movement before giving the medication.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the treatment was provided to prevent a decline in ROM functions for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 80). * The physician's order to apply an extension splint to Resident 80's left elbow was not followed. In addition, Resident 80's skin was not assessed when the splint was applied. These failures had the potential for Resident 80 to sustain a decline in ROM functions, leading to muscle atrophy and decrease in functioning. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Splint Application dated 5/2017 showed the splints should be applied correctly to maintain the resident's ROM and prevent contractures and further loss of range of motion. During the initial tour of the facility on 3/5/25 at 0922 hours, Resident 80 was in bed asleep and noted to have contractures to the left arm. There was no splint applied to Resident 80's left arm contracture. Also, the splint was observed in the clear plastic bag on Resident 80's cabinet. Medical record review for Resident 80 was initiated on 3/6/25. Resident 80 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 80's Order Summary Report dated 2/26/25, showed a physician's order dated 9/27/24, to apply the left elbow extension splint to the left elbow for four to six hours a day as tolerated every Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, there was no physician's order to include the skin assessment when the left elbow splint was applied. Review of Resident 80's plan of care showed a care plan problem dated 9/29/24, addressing the potential decline in the resident's ROM and mobility. The interventions included the application of the left elbow extension splint for four to six hours as per the physician's order. However, there were no interventions to include Resident 80's skin assessment on the care plan. Review of Resident 80's Restorative Nursing Record for January and March 2025 showed the RNA had applied the left extension elbow splint to Resident 80. However, the record failed to show an accurate record of the time when the splint was applied and removed. In addition, there was no documented evidence a skin assessment was completed when the left elbow splint was applied to Resident 80's left elbow. On 3/6/25 at 0939 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 80 was conducted with RNA 2. RNA 2 verified Resident 80 had an RNA services ordered and the application of left elbow splint. RNA 2 was asked what time she applied the left elbow splint to Resident 80. RNA 2 stated she applied the left elbow splint to Resident 80's left elbow at 0800 hours, and taken off at 12 noon, for four hours total every day. RNA 2 verified there was no documentation of the exact time when the left elbow splint was applied and removed from Resident 80's elbow.

Residents Affected - Few * The facility failed to ensure the baseline measurements of the PICC line external catheter length and arm circumference were confirmed and documented in the medical record prior to the administration of the IV antibiotics for Resident 745. In addition, the facility failed to ensure the PICC line external catheter length and arm circumference were measured and documented during the PICC dressing change as per the facility's P&P and Resident 745's care plan. These failures had the potential to delay the identification of catheter related complications for Resident 745. * The facility failed to ensure the enteral feeding water bag was accurately labeled with the resident's name for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 30). This failure had the potential for the resident's care needs to not be met as their medical information was not complete and accurate. Findings: 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled PICC Dressing Change dated 3/2023 showed the dressing changes using transparent dressings are performed: upon admission (if not dated or site not visible for assessment), at least weekly, and if the integrity of the dressing had been compromised. The length of the external catheter is obtained: upon admission, during dressing changes, and if sign or symptoms of complications are present. Further review of the facility's P&P showed documentation in the medical record includes, but is not limited to: the date and time of the dressing change, the site assessment, the length of the external catheter, the resident's response to the procedure and/or medication, and resident teachings. On 3/5/25 at 0959 hours, Resident 745 was observed in bed with a PICC line with a two-port external catheter to the right upper arm. A transparent dressing with paper tape was observed with a label dated 3/5/25. Medical record review for Resident 745 was initiated on 3/5/25. Resident 745 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of perforated gastric ulcer. Review of Resident 745's care plan for IV therapy dated 3/1/25, showed the interventions included to measure the external catheter length for the PICC and midlines upon admission and with each dressing change. Review of Resident 745's H&P examination dated 3/2/25, showed Resident 745 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.

Review of Resident 745's IV Medication Administration Record for March 2025 showed Resident 745 was administered the piperacillin-tazobactam sodium 3.375 gm IV every six hours on the following dates and times: - from 3/2/25 to 3/5/25 at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 hours; and - on 3/6/5 at 0000, 0600, and 1200 hours. Further review of Resident 745's IV MAR for March 2025 showed Resident 745's PICC dressing was changed on 3/5/25. However, there was no documentation of the external catheter length measurement obtained during the dressing change on 3/5/25. Review of Resident 745's Licensed Nurse Progress Notes showed an RN admission Note on 3/1/25 at 1500 to 2300 hours shift. The nurse entry showed documentation Resident 745's right upper arm PICC line external catheter length was 11 cm long and the arm circumference was 18 cm. However, further review of Resident 745's Licensed Nurse Progress Notes failed to show documentation the licensed nurse had confirmed the baseline measurements of Resident 745's arm circumference and PICC line external catheter length measurement prior to the use of the PICC line to administer the antibiotic medication. On 3/6/25 at 1046 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 745 was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 stated for the residents admitted to the facility with a PICC line, the baseline arm circumference and PICC external catheter length should be verified with the transferring facility or the medical records. RN 2 also stated the baseline measurements should be verified and documented in the medical record. RN 2 stated the PICC dressing changes were done weekly and as needed if soiled. RN 2 stated for every PICC dressing change, the external catheter length and arm circumference should be measured and documented in the IV administration record or the nurse's progress notes. RN 2 reviewed Resident 745's medical record and verified the above findings. RN 2 stated the measurements should be documented and compared with the baseline measurements to determine if there were any complications related to the PICC line. On 3/10/25 at 1234 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated for the residents admitted to the facility with a PICC line, the nurse was expected to communicate with the acute care hospital about the baseline PICC measurements, to verify the resident's baseline measurements with the measurements obtained upon admission, and document the verification in the resident's medical record prior to the use of the PICC line. On 3/10/25 at 1319 hours, the DON, Administrator, and Nurse Consultant were informed and acknowledged the above findings. 2.

There was no documented diagnosis prior to starting the Seroquel medication. * The facility failed to ensure an informed consent was obtained and least restrictive measures were implemented prior to starting Resident 56's Seroquel medication. * The facility failed to ensure a care plan for the use and monitoring of Resident 56's Seroquel medication was created at the time Resident 56 started receiving the medication. * The facility failed to ensure the side effects of postural hypotension was monitored for Resident 56's Seroquel medication. * Resident 56 was additionally prescribed Ativan (antianxiety medication) as needed for agitation for 14 days. There was no clinical indication or documented behaviors of agitation. These failures had the potential to place the resident at risk for receiving unnecessary medications and increased risk of serious medication adverse reactions. Findings: Review of the FDA black box warning for prescribing Seroquel showed elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. Seroquel is not approved for elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Review of the facility's P&P titled Psychotropic Drug Treatment revised 9/2017 showed the purpose of this procedure is to provide psychotropic drug treatment for a resident with a specific condition as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record. When their use is indicated, the facility should use the least restrictive alternative for the least amount of time and document on-going evaluation of the need for psychotropic drug treatment. The resident or his/her representative will be given information regarding the need for, the desired effects and the potential side effects of the medication. This enables the resident or his/her representative to make an informed decision regarding the use of any psychoactive medication. The facility staff will monitor for side effects, reduce dosage to the minimum required, and when possible, discontinue the use of such medications. The residents who have not used antipsychotic drugs will not be given such drugs unless antipsychotic drug therapy is necessary to treat a specific condition.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of the facility's P&P titled Policy for Legionnaire's Disease revised 6/2017 showed it is the policy of the facility to have a plan for the prevention of Legionnaire's disease. Under the section titled Process to Develop a Water Management Program showed the following: - The facility will develop a Water Management Program which will be reviewed annually. Residents Affected - Some - The facility will complete Water Flow Diagram specific to the facility to identify risk areas in which Legionella can grow. - The facility will determine risk areas by completing the Building Water System Process Flowchart and implement controls and indicate where these controls are located by completing the Control Area Monitoring Flowchart. - During routine inspections of control areas, the facility will attempt to reduce areas of concern with the specific plans that have been developed. Preventative maintenance plans have been developed for each control area. Review of the facility's document titled Legionella Risk assessment dated [DATE], showed a form which was filled out in order to determine if the facility needed a water management program to reduce the risk of Legionella growth and spread. The form showed the facility should have a water management program for the building's hot and cold-water distribution systems. Review of the facility's document Building Water System Process Flowchart (undated) showed a water flow diagram specific to the facility; however, there was no documentation of identified risk areas in which Legionella could grow or control measures to monitor. Further review of the facility's water management program binder failed to show the Control Area Monitoring Flowchart was completed as per the facility's P&P. In addition, there was no documented evidence of a facility water management program which specified testing protocols, acceptable ranges for control measures, and corrective actions taken when control limits were not maintained. On 3/6/25 at 0910 hours, a concurrent interview, facility P&P review, and facility document review was conducted with the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director verified he was in charge of the facility's water management program. The Maintenance Director stated they tested for Legionella yearly and the facility did not have any areas of standing water. The Maintenance Director was informed of the above findings. The Maintenance Director was unable to provide documented evidence a facility risk assessment was completed to identify where Legionella and other waterborne pathogens could potentially grow and spread. The Maintenance Director verified the Building Water System Process Flowchart was not completed and Control Area Monitoring Flowchart was not completed as per the facility's P&P. The Maintenance Director was not able to provide a documented facility water management plan which addressed the testing protocols, acceptable ranges for control measures, and monitoring for the controls. Further review of the facility's water management program binder showed maintenance logs for the boiler and hot water heater, air conditioning and air handlers, evaporative coolers, and ice machine. When asked why these specific maintenance forms were in the binder, the Maintenance Director stated he included the logs in the program because he was told to and did not know why he filled out the forms.
