This survey cited 24 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0552 Ensure that residents are fully informed and understand their health status, care and treatments. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled resident's (Resident 7) informed consent (voluntary agreement to accept treatment and/or procedures after receiving education regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives offered) for psychotropics (drug or other substance that affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior) was obtained prior to administration of medications. This deficient practice violated Resident 7 and the responsible party's rights to receive all information, in advance, of risks and benefits of proposed care, treatment, treatment alterative, and choose the alterative of choice which includes information for administration of psychotropic drugs.Findings: During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) with psychotic disturbance (a mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact with reality), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and generalized anxiety disorder (mental health condition characterized by excessive fear and worry).During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 7/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 7's cognitive skills (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) for daily decision-making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 7 needed moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, oral hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with personal hygiene, and dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff with toileting hygiene and showering. During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report, dated 9/3/2025, the report indicated the following:1. Starting on 8/8/2025, Risperidone (medication for dementia with psychotic disturbance) 1 mg by mouth, one time a day.2. Starting on 8/24/2025, Ativan (medication for anxiety) one milligram (mg - metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount), by mouth, every 6 hours as needed for inability to relax for 14 days. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/3/2025 at 12:55 p.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS)1 and 2, Resident 7's medical records were reviewed. RNS 1 and 2 confirmed Resident 7 did not have consent for the following psychotropics: 1. Risperidone 1 mg one time a day, ordered 8/8/2025.2. Ativan 1 mg every 6 hours as needed for anxiety, order renewed 8/24/2025.During an interview on 9/3/2025 at 1:05 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated that an informed consent was important, so the resident or family knows about treatment options the resident was receiving.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON) the DON stated that informed consent should be obtained prior to the administration of psychotropic medications.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Psychotropic Medication Management Policy, undated, the P&P indicated the residents written informed consent for treatment will be obtained before initiating psychotropic medications.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light was within reach for one of eight sampled residents (Resident 124).This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 124's needs not being met.Findings:During an observation on 9/2/2025 at 2:50 p.m., Resident 124 was lying in his bed, and his call light was on the floor to the left side of his bed. Resident 124 had a gold star (indicating high-fall-risk) next to his name plaque at the entry of his door.During a review of Resident 124's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 124 was admitted to the facility 5/1/2025 with diagnoses including dementia (a group of conditions that cause a decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, language, attention, and problem-solving, severe enough to interfere with daily life), history of falling, and age-related osteoporosis (a condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures [broken bones]).During a review of Resident 124's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 8/8/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 124 had severe cognitive impairment (difficulties with mental functions like thinking, learning, remembering, and decision-making, affecting skills such as communication and self-help). The MDS indicated Resident 124 required partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for personal hygiene (combing hair, shaving, and washing/ drying face and hands. The MDS indicated Resident 124 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/ or touching/ steadying as the resident completes and activity) for bathing and showering.During an observation on 9/2/2025 at 2:53 p.m. , licensed vocational nurse (LVN) 3, entered Resident 124's room after being alerted Resident 124 appeared to need assistance. LVN 3 entered the room, picked the call light up off the floor and placed it within reach of Resident 124. LVN 3 verbalized Resident 124 needed to be repositioned and changed. During an interview on 9/2/2025 at 3:05 p.m., with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated the gold star next to Resident 124's name meant he was a high fall risk. LVN 3 stated the call light was found on the floor when she entered Resident 124's room. LVN 3 stated Resident 124 could utilize the call light when it was placed within reach and Resident 124 appeared calmer after they changed and repositioned him.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nurses (DON), the DON stated the call light being found on the floor meant it was not within reach for Resident 124. The DON stated it was important the call light was always within reach to ensure residents had access to the call light when they needed help and the nurses could immediately assist residents when they needed help.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Call Lights: Accessibility and Timely Response dated 2021, indicated staff were to ensure residents had access to the call light.

F 0561 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to honor the choices of one of eight sampled residents (Resident 160) regarding care and cleaning of his wheelchair.This deficient practice resulted in Resident 160's wheelchair being removed from his room against his wishes, was not readily available when he wanted to use it and did not honor his resident's rights.Findings:During a review of Resident 160's admission Record (face sheet), the admission Record indicated Resident 160 was admitted to the facility 7/24/2018 with diagnoses of peripheral vascular disease (a condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs) and cellulitis (a common bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissues) of left toe.During a review of Resident 160's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 7/17/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 160 was cognitively intact (describes a person whose brain functions are normal and unimpaired, enabling them to think, learn, remember, solve problems, and make decisions effectively).During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/2/2025 at 10:59 a.m., Resident 160 was observed walking in the hallway back to his room with his bilateral legs wrapped in ace bandages (helps to reduce pain and swelling). Resident 160 stated his legs were wrapped due to issues due to skin issues related to peripheral vascular disease. Resident 160 stated he was upset he could not find his wheelchair because someone took it out of his room for cleaning against his wishes.During an interview on 9/4/2025 at 2:05 p.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), the DSS stated Resident 160 had informed her two days (on 9/2/2025) earlier that his wheelchair was missing and he was very upset. The DSS stated there was an issue in the past when Resident 160 reported staff taking his wheelchair out of his room for cleaning when he did not want it taken from his room. The DSS stated she did not file a formal grievance (a real or imagined wrong or other cause for complaint or protest, especially unfair treatment) for Resident 160's complaint regarding his wheelchair because the issue was resolved right away and his wheelchair was returned to him as soon as she learned about it. The DSS stated it was Resident 160's right to request no one removed the wheelchair from his room and he could clean the wheelchair himself if those were his wishes.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 11:26 a.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated nursing staff was not made aware that Resident 160 did not want his wheelchair removed from his room and that is why his wheelchair was removed from his room for cleaning. RN 1 stated if they had been aware of Resident 160's wishes his wheelchair would have remained in his room.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was important the different departments of the facility communicated residents' wishes with each other because it pertained to the residents' wishes, care, and needs. The DON stated it was important to honor residents' wishes because that is the residents' right and if he did not want his wheelchair removed from his room, it should not have been removed.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Resident Rights dated 2017, the P&P indicated the facility was to ensure all staff members were educated on the rights of residents and the responsibility of the facility to properly care for its residents.

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 ensure an Advance Directive ([AD], a legal document that outlines a person's healthcare preferences and appoints a healthcare agent to make medical decisions on their behalf if they become unable to do so) was accurate and completed as per the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) for one of two sampled residents (Residents 156).This deficient practice violated the resident's rights to be fully informed of the option to formulate an AD and had the potential to cause conflict with the residents' wishes regarding health care in the event resident became incapacitated (unable to participate in a meaningful way in medical decisions) or unable to make medical decisions that would not be identified and/or carried out by the facility staff.Findings:During a record review of Resident 156's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 156 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest, fear, dread and other symptoms that are out of proportion to the situation), and post-traumatic stress disorder ([PTSD], a mental health condition that's caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event, either being part of it or witnessing it). During a record review of Resident 156's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated 8/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 156 had intact cognitive (thought process) skills for daily decision-making and needed assistance (helper sets up while resident completes the activities) with self-care abilities and mobility such as eating, oral hygiene, dressing, and transfers. During a record review of Resident 156's history and physical (H&P) dated 1/30/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 156 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.During a record review of Resident 156's AD Acknowledgment form dated 11/3/2022, the AD Acknowledgement form did not indicate if Resident 156 chose to formulate an AD or chose not to formulate an AD. The AD Acknowledgment form was signed and witnessed by facility staff.During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 1:35 p.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), Resident 156's AD Acknowledgement form dated 11/3/2022 was reviewed. The DSS stated, the top portion the AD Acknowledgement form indicated residents' specific directives. The DSS stated the residents indicate if they want to donate their organs, whether the resident wants to be resuscitated or not. The DSS stated the AD Acknowledgement form should have been completed to indicate the residents' wishes. The DSS stated the AD Acknowledgement form was incomplete and the facility staff that gave the form to the resident should have made sure the AD Acknowledgement form was filled out and answered completely.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 2:54 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated an AD was a document indicating the residents wishes for life saving measures if the resident becomes incapable of making those decisions. The DON stated the AD is completed when the resident is admitted . done during the admission process to the facility. The DON stated the AD Acknowledgment form was a document indicating whether residents had an AD, wanted to formulate an AD or not. The DON stated all documents should be clear, concise and complete. The DON stated staff should be making sure the AD was filled out completely. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Advance Directive Policy, dated January 2025, indicated, the purpose was to ensure that residents are informed of their rights regarding advance directives and that the facility respects, documents, and follows resident choices about medical treatment and end-of--life care.residents have the right to make decisions about their medical care, including the right to formulate advance (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 056188 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 47 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 056188 B.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure three of six sampled residents' (Resident 7, 9 and 114) were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications (drug or other substance that affects how the brain works and causes changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, or feelings, or behavior) by:a. Failing to ensure nonpharmacological interventions (therapies and measures that do not involve taking medication like distraction, music therapy, and activities) were attempted prior to administering Ativan (medication for anxiety [mental health condition characterized by excessive fear and worry]) as needed for inability to relax for Resident 7.b. Failing to ensure Resident 9 was monitored for adverse effects for Mirtazapine (medication for depression [a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest]) use.c. Failing to indicate resident specific behaviors for Risperidone (medication used to treat various mental health conditions) use for Resident 114. These deficient practices had the potential to result in the violation of residents' right to be free from chemical restraints (refers to any drug used for discipline or that makes it more convenient for staff to care for a resident and not required to treat medical symptoms) and the potential for unwanted adverse side effects.Findings: a. During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 7 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) with psychotic disturbance (a mental health condition characterized by a loss of contact with reality), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and generalized anxiety disorder (mental health condition characterized by excessive fear and worry). During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 7/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 7's cognitive skills (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) for daily decision-making was severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 7 needed moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, oral hygiene, maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with personal hygiene, and dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff with toileting hygiene and showering. During a review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report, as of 9/3/2025, the report indicated, starting on 8/24/2025, Ativan one milligram (mg - metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount), by mouth, every 6 hours as needed for inability to relax for 14 days. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/3/2025 at 1:05 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, Resident 7's Medication Administration records for 9/2025 and Order summary were reviewed. LVN 1 confirmed and stated there was no documented evidence of nonpharmacological measures attempted prior to the use of Ativan for anxiety. During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON) the DON stated that nonpharmacological measures need to be attempted prior to administration of psychotropic medications. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, “Psychotropic Medication Management Policy”, undated, the P&P indicated that the interdisciplinary team would evaluate non-pharmacological interventions before or alongside medication use.

During a review of Resident 9's Order Report, 7/20/2025, the order indicated, starting on 8/24/2025, Mirtazapine 15 mg, by mouth, at bedtime manifested by poor meal intake. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 10:30 a.m. with LVN 2, Resident 9's medical records were reviewed. LVN 2 confirmed Resident 9 was not monitored for adverse side effects associated with Mirtazapine use. LVN 2 stated monitoring for side effects was important to ensure the dose was appropriate. During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:15 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated that residents need to be monitored for adverse effects of medication use to make sure there were no complications. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, “Psychotropic Medication Management Policy”, undated, the P&P indicated that the staff would monitor residents for potential adverse effects. c. During a review of Resident 114's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 114 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD - a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event), anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, and nervousness that can interfere with daily life), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 114's “History and Physical (H&P)”, dated 6/12/2025, the “H&P” indicated, Resident 114 has the fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 114's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 114 required supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) from one staff for hygiene, bed mobility, transfer, dressing, bathing, and setup or clean-up assistance (Helper sets pup or cleans up) from one staff for eating.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During a review of Resident 114's “Care Plan (CP)”, revised on 6/23/2025, the CP Focus indicated, Resident 114 uses antipsychotic medication Risperidone for behavioral disorder associated with dementia manifested by aggressive behavior. The CP Goal indicated, Resident 114 will receive the lowest possible dosage of the prescribed psychotropic drug to ensure maximum functional ability. The CP Interventions indicated, to administer medication as prescribed and observe effectiveness of medication by monitoring targeted behaviors. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025, at 3:08 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 114's “Medication Administration Record (MAR)”, dated from 6/2025 to 9/4/2025 was reviewed. The MAR indicated to monitor behavior disorder associated with dementia manifested by aggressive behavior and tally by episode every shift for Risperidone use. The MAR indicated, there was no behavioral episodes and documented “0” episode of aggressive behavior. RN 1 stated, aggressive behaviors were not specific target behavior because it was too general, and it could be anything such as yelling, striking, and non-verbal. RN 1 stated, target behavior should be specific and measurable, so psychiatrist ( a medical practitioner specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness) could refer to and consider Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR- a systematic approach to stepwise tapering of medication dosage to assess if a lower dose can effectively manage symptoms, conditions, or risks, or if the medication can be discontinued entirely). RN 1 stated, the staff should monitor specific target behaviors, not general behavior. RN 1 stated, the facility should use less restrictive measures, if possible, to prevent resident suffering from adverse reaction due to unnecessary medication. During a telephone interview on 9/5/2025, 11:08 a.m., with the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) 1, the PNP 1 stated, Resident 114 was on Risperidone prior to admission from the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH). The PNP 1 stated, she did not discontinue the medication abruptly, and the nursing staff reported to her that Resident 114 was trying to strike the staff. The PNP 1 stated, aggressive behaviors are not specific and measurable target behavior. The PNP 1 stated, incorrect data of target behavior could affect the resident's care and treatment. The PNP 1 stated, she was not aware of staff documented no behavior and MDS assessment regarding no behavior. The PNP 1stated, Risperidone could be unnecessary medication, and it should be tapered down as soon as possible to avoid adverse reaction (an undesired or harmful effect of a drug) and chemical restraint (the use of medications to restrict a person's movement or freedom of action, or to control behavior, when the medication is not part of a standard treatment for their condition). During an interview on 9/5/2025, at 2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, target behavior should be specific and measurable to the resident's diagnoses. The DON stated, aggressive behaviors could be many things, and this should be clarified with PNP 1. The DON stated, monitoring specific target behavior was important, because GDR would be performed based on these data. The DON stated, inaccurate data would lead to delays on treatment, and the residents continuing to receive unnecessary medication. The DON stated, the resident might suffer from unnecessary side effects/adverse reactions. The DON stated, unnecessary medication could be used as chemical restraint as well.

This deficient practice resulted in violation of resident rights because the ombudsman could not advocate for the residents and investigate potential violations. Findings:During a review of Resident 13's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 13 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD - a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event), homicidal (thought pattern characterized by the desire to kill another person or persons) and suicidal ideations (thinking about or planning to kill ones' self), and paranoid schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought).During a review of Resident 13's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 8/11/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 13's cognition (ability to think and reason) was intact. During a review of Resident 13's Progress Notes, dated 8/29/2025 at 8:59 a.m., the note indicated Resident 13 was noncompliant with medications and treatments and continued to have episodes of responding to internal stimuli and the physician was notified and ordered to transfer the resident to the general acute care hospital (GACH) for further evaluation. During a review of Resident 13's Progress Notes, dated 8/29/2025 at 1:12 p.m., the notes indicated Resident 13 was transferred to the GACH.During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 10:30 a.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 2, Resident 13's clinical records were reviewed. RNS 2 stated the facility did not notify the ombudsman of Resident 13's transfer on 8/29/2025. RNS 2 stated the notice was important, so ombudsman knows about Resident 13's transfer. During an interview with the Medical Records Director (MRD) on 9/4/2025 at 2:31 p.m., the MRD stated there was no documented evidence that fax was sent informing the Ombudsman of Resident 13's transfer to the GACH.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:15 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the written Notice of Proposed Transfer and Discharge Form needed to be faxed to the ombudsman to inform them of the transfer.During a review the facility's policies and procedure (P&P) titled, Transfer and Discharge (including AMA), the P&P indicated a copy of the Notice of Proposed Transfer and Discharge will be sent to the ombudsman.

These deficient practices had the potential to negatively affect the delivery of necessary care and services. Findings: 1.During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 16 on 7/12/2022 and re-admitted Resident 16 on 9/24/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a type of disease that affects memory, thinking, and behavior), chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function), and polyneuropathy (damage of the nerves that can cause weakness, numbness, and burning pain). During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 7/3/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 16 had severe cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent (helper does all the effort) in eating, hygiene, bathing, dressing, and mobility (ability to move). The MDS indicated Resident 16 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 both arms and both legs. During a review of Resident 16's Quarterly Joint Mobility Assessment (JMA, a brief assessment of a resident's ROM in both arms and both legs), dated 7/3/2025, the JMA indicated Resident 16 had minimal ROM limitations (75 to 100% available ROM) in the left shoulder, both wrists, and both hands, moderate/severe ROM limitations (25 to 50% available ROM) in the right shoulder and both ankles, and severe ROM limitations (0 to 25% available ROM) in both hips and both knees. During an observation and interview on 9/3/2025 at 9:35 am, Resident 16 was lying in bed with his body hunched over to the left side of the bed and blankets covering his left arm and both legs. Resident 16 moved his right shoulder and elbow slightly when trying to move the blankets. Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) entered the room and assisted Resident 16 with removing the blankets. Resident 16's both legs were rotated to the left side of the body with both hips and both knees bent and both toes pointing downwards. LVN 2 stated Resident 16 had limited ROM in both arms and both legs and needed assistance with ROM. LVN 2 stated Resident 16 moved both arms every now and then but rarely moved both legs on his own.

MDSC 1 and MDSN reviewed Resident 16's JMA, dated 7/3/2025, and confirmed Resident 16 had ROM limitations in both arms and both legs. MDSC 1 and MDSN reviewed Resident 16's care plan and confirmed there was no care plan and interventions in place to maintain or prevent a decline in ROM of Resident 16's both arms and both legs despite ROM limitations being identified on the MDS and JMA. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated the care plan should have included goals and interventions to maintain and prevent a decline in Resident 16's both arms and both legs but did not. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated it was important Resident 16's limited ROM was care planned because Resident 16 had limited ROM in both arms and both legs, required total care, had limited mobility, and was at high risk for contracture (a stiffening/shortening at any joint, that reduces the joint's range of motion) development. MDSC 1 and MDSN 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 an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:33 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated individualized, person-centered 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 limitations upon assessment, screens, 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. The DON stated lack of care planning could negatively impact the provision of care and services. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled, “Comprehensive Care plans” revised 1/2025, the P/P indicated the facility would develop and implement a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with residents rights, that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychological needs that were identified in the resident's comprehensive assessment. 2.

The DON stated the Ativan interventions should have been initiated when Resident 124 first received the order for Ativan on 8/29/2025. The DON stated a care plan specific to Ativan was important because it addressed and provided proper interventions for the residents and it was to include behaviors and monitoring. Residents Affected - Some During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled “Comprehensive Care Plans) dated 1/2025, the P&P indicated the comprehensive care plan will describe, at a minimum, the following services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. 3. During a record review of Resident 156's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 156 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest, and anxiety) and PTSD. During a record review of Resident 156's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 156 had intact cognitive (thought process) skills for daily decision-making and needed assistance (helper sets up while resident completes the activities) with self-care abilities and mobility such eating, oral hygiene, dressing, and transfers. During a record review of Resident 156's History and Physical (H&P) dated 1/30/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 156 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a record review of Resident 156's social service assessment dated [DATE], the social service assessment did not address Resident 156's diagnosis of PTSD, what the triggers are and how the facility can help the Resident 156 receives appropriate care to address and manage trauma related needs. There was no other assessment done after this initial assessment. During a record review of Resident 156's untitled care plan, the untitled care plan indicated PTSD as a diagnosis but the goals and interventions were vague and did not address Resident 156's specific triggers or provide guidance for facility staff on how to avoid retriggering or manage symptoms and behaviors if the trauma is triggered. During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 10:35 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated residents with history of trauma or diagnosis of PTSD, should have a person-centered care plan tailored to the residents specific needs . The DSD stated residents should feel safe and at home. The care plan should have interventions to avoid their triggers (a sound, smell, place or memory that suddenly reminds someone of a scary or upsetting experience from the past and make them feel afraid, sad or upset). During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/8/2025 at 10:52 a.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), the untitled, undated care plan for Resident 156 was reviewed. The DSS stated there should have been a person-centered care plan for Resident 156's PTSD diagnosis. The DSS stated Resident 156's care plan did not specify what the PTSD triggers are and how to avoid retriggering the trauma. The DSS stated having a person-centered care plan would be helpful for facility staff to avoid retriggering the trauma and their manifestation.

The DOR reviewed Resident 4's clinical record and confirmed Resident 4 was never formally evaluated by PT and/or OT during his entire stay at the facility. The DOR reviewed Resident 4's Rehab Screen, dated 7/23/2025, and confirmed that the DOR recommended and issued a right hand/wrist splint and a right elbow splint. The DOR confirmed there was no documented evidence to indicate splint assessments for Resident 4's right hand/wrist and right elbow were completed and determination of the splint wear time for both splints were evaluated by a therapist. The DOR stated the standard of practice in therapy for a patient requiring a new splint included: an initial evaluation of the patient's ROM, assessment for the type of splint to issue, application of the splint, periodic splint checks to determine the splint wear schedule, tolerance, and if modification was required, training the patient and/or caregiver, RNA, and nursing on the use of splint and any precautions and documentation of all findings in the clinical record. The DOR stated the splint assessment and wear time tolerance should have been documented in the medical record but were not. The DOR stated if a resident was not properly assessed for the correct splints and wear time tolerance, the resident could potentially have skin breakdown, pain, and discomfort.During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:33 pm, the Director of Nursing (DOR) stated Rehab was responsible for assessing the types of splints and determining the splint wear time for all residents in the facility. The DON stated residents could potentially experience a functional decline, pain, discomfort, and skin concerns if they were not properly assessed for the correct splint and a wear time schedule was not established. During a review of a textbook, titled The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, second edition, pages 76 and 77, revised 2003 by the American Therapy Association, indicated a physical therapist used tests and measures to assess the need for orthotic devices in patients and evaluated the appropriateness and fit of the device. The Guide to Physical Therapy Practice indicated physical therapists performed assessments to determine a patient's alignment and fit of the orthotic device, components of orthotic device, level of safety with device, and functional benefit of the device.During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled Splinting Policy, the P/P indicated splints were applied, maintained, and monitored safely for residents who required them, while protecting skin integrity, mobility, and overall comfort. The P/P indicated staff would ensure the proper fit and alignment, skin circulation would be assessed before and after application, and at intervals consistent with facility standards, and residents would be monitored for signs of discomfort, impaired circulation, or skin breakdown. The P/P indicated ongoing monitoring, assessments, and any issues or concerns would be recorded in the resident's medical record.

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 services to improve or maintain range of motion (ROM, full movement potential of a joint) for two of seven sampled residents (Residents 5 and 16) with ROM concerns by failing to: Objectively measure Resident 5's ROM in both hands during the Occupational Therapy (OT, profession that provides services to increase and/or maintain a person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) Evaluation, dated 6/27/2025.Provide ROM services to Resident 16 who was identified as having ROM limitations in both arms and both legs.These deficient practices had the potential for Residents 5 and 16 to experience a further decline in ROM resulting in contracture (loss of motion of a joint associated with stiffness and joint deformity) development and have a decline in physical functioning, mobility (ability to move), and activities of daily living (ADL, basic activities such as eating, dressing, toileting).Findings:1. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 5 on 8/31/2018 and re-admitted Resident 5 on 6/26/2025 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease that causes obstruction of airflow and can limit normal breathing), cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture), and Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement).During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 8/1/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 5 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does all the effort) for oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and rolling to both sides and was dependent (helper does all the effort) for transfers and toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 5 had functional limitations in range of motion (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 both arms and both legs. During a review of Resident 5's OT Evaluation, dated 6/27/2025, the OT Evaluation indicated Resident 5's ROM of the right hand, right thumb, right index finger, right middle finger, right ring finger, and right little finger were impaired. The OT evaluation indicated Resident 5's ROM of the left hand, left thumb, left index finger, left middle finger, left ring finger, and left little finger were impaired. During an observation of Resident 5's Restorative Nursing Aide program (RNA, nursing aide program that helps residents maintain their function and joint mobility) session on 9/4/2025 at 10:29 am, in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was sitting in a wheelchair. Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) assisted Resident 5 with passive range of motion (PROM, movement at a given joint with full assistance from another person) exercises to Resident 5's both arms and right leg and applied splints to Resident 5's right hand and right knee. Resident 5 moved both shoulders to less than shoulder height, could not fully extend both elbows, and had both hands closed in fists. RNA 1 stated Resident 5 was unable to straighten the fingers of both hands. Resident 5 grimaced when RNA 1 tried to straighten Resident 5's fingers to place a carrot splint (a device that opens the hand and positions the fingers away from the palm to protect the skin from moisture, pressure, and nail puncture) in Resident 5's hand.During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 3:37 pm, Occupational Therapist 1 (OT 1) stated OTs used goniometers (instrument used for the precise measurement of angles) to measure joint mobility to objectively (unbiased, based on facts) determine a resident's baseline ROM and detect changes in joint ROM.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some limited. OT 1 confirmed he did not use a goniometer to measure the joints of both hands but should have because Resident 5 had ROM limitations. OT 1 stated Resident 5's baseline ROM of both hands was not determined because the ROM limitations were not measured with a goniometer. OT 1 stated lack of objective ROM measurements had the potential to negatively impact the staff's ability to detect changes such as improvements or declines in Resident 5's ROM. OT 1 stated it was important to provide objective measurements of a limited joint in the OT evaluation to ensure subtle changes of ROM could be detected which would in turn guided the treatments and services provided. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/5/2025 at 12:25 pm, the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated OT and Physical Therapists (PT, profession aimed in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function) used goniometers to objectively measure ROM. The DOR stated any limitations in joint ROM observed in an OT or PT evaluation should be measured with a goniometer and documented in the evaluation because it was an objective way of establishing a resident's ROM baseline and monitoring for changes in ROM. The DOR reviewed Resident 5's OT Evaluation, dated 6/27/2025, and stated Resident 5's ROM of both hands should have been measured with a goniometer since they were impaired but was not. The DOR stated Resident 5's baseline ROM of both hands was not determined due to lack of objective measurements in the OT evaluation which in turn affected staff's ability to monitor and detect any changes in ROM. 2. During a review of Resident 16's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 16 on 7/12/2022 and re-admitted Resident 16 on 9/24/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease (a type of disease that affects memory, thinking, and behavior), chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function), and polyneuropathy (damage of the nerves that can cause weakness, numbness, and burning pain).During a review of Resident 16's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order, dated 9/25/2024, indicating Resident 16 was placed on Hospice Services (care focused on comfort and quality of life of a person with a serious illness who is approaching the end of life).During a review of Resident 16's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 16 had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent with eating, hygiene, bathing, dressing, and mobility (ability to move). The MDS indicated Resident 16 had functional limitations in ROM in both arms and both legs.During a review of Resident 16's Quarterly Joint Mobility Assessment (JMA, a brief assessment of a resident's ROM in both arms and both legs), dated 7/3/2025, the JMA indicated Resident 16 had minimal ROM limitations (75 to 100% available ROM) in the left shoulder, both wrists, and both hands, moderate/severe ROM limitations (25 to 50% available ROM) in the right shoulder and both ankles, and severe ROM limitations (0 to 25% available ROM) in both hips and both knees. The JMA comments indicated Resident 16 was on hospice care and nursing was to integrate ROM exercises during care. During an observation and interview on 9/3/2025 at 9:35 am, in Resident 16's room, Resident 16 was lying in bed with his body hunched over to the left side of the bed and blankets covering his left arm and both legs. Resident 16 moved his right shoulder and elbow slightly when trying to move the blankets. Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) entered the room and assisted Resident 16 with removing the blankets. Resident 16's both legs were rotated to the left side of the body with both hips and both knees bent and both toes pointing downwards. LVN 2 stated Resident 16 had limited ROM in both arms and both legs and needed assistance with ROM. LVN 2 stated Resident 16 moved both arms every now and then but rarely moved both legs on his own. LVN 2 tried but was unable to fully straighten Resident 16's both hips and knees. LVN 2 assisted Resident 16 to move both arms up to shoulder level and slowly straightened Resident 16's both elbows.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some further stiffness. LVN 2 stated he thought Resident 16 received RNA services for ROM exercises of both arms and both legs. During an interview on 9/3/2025 at 9:49 am, Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) stated he frequently assisted with Resident 16's daily care. CNA 5 stated Resident 16 required total assistance in daily care and had ROM limitations in both arms and both legs. CNA 5 stated Resident 16 actively moved both arms more than both legs and needed assisted with ROM. CNA 5 stated he assisted with ROM sometimes during daily care but mostly relied on RNA to assist with ROM exercises. CNA 5 stated he was unsure if other CNAs provided Resident 16 with daily ROM exercises because the CNAs were not required to document whether they provided ROM exercises during daily care. During an interview and record review on 9/5/2025 at 11:00 am, the Minimum Data Set Coordinator 1 (MDSC 1) and Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN) stated the facility provided RNA and skilled therapy services (services that require specialized training and experience of a licensed therapist or therapy assistant) to maintain, improve, and prevent declines in ROM for the residents in the facility. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated the facility monitored for changes in ROM by staff report, RNA meetings, and JMAs done annually by the Rehabilitation Department (Rehab) and quarterly by the MDS nurses. MDSC 1 and MDSN reviewed Resident 16's MDS, dated [DATE], and confirmed Resident 16 was identified as having functional ROM limitations in both arms and both legs. MDSC 1 and MDSN reviewed Resident 16's JMA, dated 7/3/2025, and confirmed Resident 16 had ROM limitations in both arms and both legs. MDSC 1 and MDSN confirmed the JMA indicated Resident 16 was on hospice care services and ROM was to be provided during daily nursing care. MDSC 1 and MDSN reviewed Resident 16's clinical record and confirmed Resident 16 was not receiving RNA services. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated Resident 16 was at high risk for contracture development because he had ROM limitations in both arms and both legs, required total care, and had limited mobility. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated Resident 16 was a good candidate for RNA services and was unsure why RNA services were never considered. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated they did not follow up with the hospice care nurse to recommend or discuss RNA services but should have to ensure Resident 16 received the appropriate care and services to maintain and prevent a decline in ROM. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated they were unsure if CNAs provided daily ROM exercises since the CNAs did not document if ROM was provided during daily care. MDSC 1 and MDSN stated if a resident who was identified as having ROM limitations did not receive ROM services, it could potentially lead to a functional decline and contracture development. During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:33 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility provided RNA and Rehab services to maintain, improve, and prevent declines in ROM for the residents in the facility. The DON stated the facility monitored changes in ROM by staff report, observations during daily care, and JMAs done quarterly and annually. The DON stated it was important staff objectively measured ROM during ROM evaluations to ensure the facility had an accurate assessment of a resident's joints since it affected their ability to effectively monitor for changes and provide the appropriate services to address any declines. The DON stated if residents who had ROM limitations did not receive the treatment and services to maintain their ROM, it could result in a functional decline. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled, Prevention of Decline in ROM, the P/P indicated residents who entered the facility without limited ROM would not experience a reduction in ROM unless unavoidable. The P/P indicated the facility in collaboration with the medical director, DON, and as appropriate physical/occupational consultant established and utilized a systemic approach for prevention of a decline in ROM, including the assessment, appropriate care planning, and preventative care.

Findings: During a review of Resident 45's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 45 on 8/25/2023 and re-admitted Resident 45 on 11/7/2024 with diagnoses including asthma (condition in which your airways narrow and swell making breathing difficult) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease that causes obstruction of airflow and can limit normal breathing).During a review of Resident 45's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 6/2/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 45 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 45 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) for eating and upper body dressing, partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for oral hygiene, lower body dressing, and personal hygiene, and substantial/maximal assistance (helper does all the effort) for toileting hygiene and bathing. During a review of Resident 45's Speech Therapy (ST, profession aimed in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of speech, language, communicative, and swallowing disorders) Discharge summary, dated [DATE], the ST Discharge Summary indicated Resident 45 had a diagnosis of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The ST Discharge Summary indicated the ST recommended a pureed diet (texture modified diet that involves eating soft foods that can be swallowed and digested without chewing) with aspiration precautions (measures taken to prevent the accidental inhalation of food, liquid, or other foreign objects into the lungs). During a review of Resident 45's care plan, the care plan indicated Resident 45 was on a puree diet and had the potential for choking. The care plan interventions to address the goal of minimizing Resident 45's risk of choking episodes was to maintain aspiration precautions which included assisting Resident 45 during meals as needed and sitting Resident 45 upright while eating. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/3/2025 at 12:38 pm, in the resident's room, Resident 45 was lying in bed with the head of the bed elevated to less than 30 degrees with his eyes closed and both knees bent toward the chest. Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) was seated in a chair next to Resident 45's bed, feeding Resident 45 pureed food and sips of juice. CNA 2 stated he was feeding Resident 45 lunch while Resident 45 was laying down with the head of bed slightly elevated. CNA 2 stated he was not feeding Resident 45 in a safe position because Resident 45 was not in an upright position. CNA 2 stated Resident 45 should be seated in an upright position and should not be laying down with the head of bed slightly elevated while eating because he could choke. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 1:44 pm, Speech Therapist 1 (ST 1) reviewed Resident 45's ST Discharge summary, dated [DATE], and confirmed Resident 45 had dysphagia. ST 1 stated residents should always be seated upright while eating. ST 1 stated the ideal and recommended body position for eating was the upper body fully upright with the head of bed at an 80-to-90-degree angle and no slouching to minimize the risk of aspiration and choking. ST 1 stated eating while laying down with the head of bed slightly elevated could potentially cause choking and aspiration, particularly with residents who had dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).

It can make them feel afraid, sad, or upset, even if they are safe now) which may cause re-traumatization as evidenced by:A. Failing to assess and identify the triggers of Resident 114's trauma related to a war he was in. B. Failed to do an assessment and identify the triggers of Resident 156's trauma related to family health status. This failure had the potential to result in Resident 114 and Resident 156 experience re-traumatization (a person encounters a new event or stimulus that triggers them to re-experience the intense stress, emotional distress, and even flashbacks of a previous traumatic event as if it were happening again).Findings: Residents Affected - Some A. During a review of Resident 114's admission record, the admission record indicated Resident 114 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD - a disorder in which a person has difficulty recovering after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event), anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, and nervousness that can interfere with daily life), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 114's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/12/2025, the H&P indicated, Resident 114 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 114's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool), dated 6/19/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 114 required supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) from one staff for hygiene, bed mobility, transfer, dressing, bathing, and setup or clean-up assistance (Helper sets pup or cleans up) from one staff for eating. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/5/2025, at 12:11 p.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), Resident 114's “Social Service History and Initial Assessment”, dated 6/9/2025 was reviewed. The Social Service History and Initial Assessment indicated, Resident 114 stated he had trauma from the Vietnam War. The Social Service History and Initial Assessment indicated, there was no documentation regarding the triggers of trauma and how they affected Resident 114. The DSS stated, she could not get much information regarding trauma and its triggers from Resident 114 and his wife. The DSS stated, she should have contacted Resident 114's psychiatrist (a medical practitioner specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness) and social service workers from the veterans' hospital to obtain information regarding his PTSD. The DSS stated, completing the trauma assessment was important, because the resident's care would be different according to the needs from the assessment. The DSS stated, she would refer the resident to proper services according to the trauma assessment to prevent re-traumatization. The DSS stated, Resident 114's care plan was not person centered because there was no proper assessment done for the trauma. During an interview on 9/5/2025, at 2:24 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, when the resident who has PTSD as a part of diagnosis admitted to the facility, the DSS should assessed for its triggers, and past history to prevent re-traumatization. The DON stated, the care plan could not be resident centered, and resident focused if the trauma assessment was not done correctly.

These deficient practices had the potential to delay and negatively impact the delivery of necessary care and services for Resident 5, 66, and 124.Findings: 1.During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 5 on 8/31/2018 and re-admitted Resident 5 on 6/26/2025 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease that causes obstruction of airflow and can limit normal breathing), cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture), and Parkinson's disease (progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement). During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 8/1/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 5 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). The MDS indicated Resident 5 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does all the effort) for oral hygiene, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and rolling to both sides and was dependent (helper does all the effort) for transfers and toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 5 had functional limitations in range of motion (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 both arms and both legs. During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order, dated 7/10/2025, for RNA to apply a hand carrot splint (a device that opens the hand and positions the fingers away from the palm to protect the skin from moisture, pressure, and nail puncture) to Resident 5's both hands, alternately, five (5) times a week for four (4) to six (6) hours. During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician's order, dated 7/10/2025, for RNA to apply knee splints to Resident 5's both knees, alternately, 5 times a week for 4 to 6 hours. During a concurrent observation of Resident 5's RNA session and interview on 9/4/2025 at 10:29 am, in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was sitting in a wheelchair. Restorative Nursing Aide 1 (RNA 1) assisted Resident 5 with passive range of motion (PROM, movement at a given joint with full assistance from another person) exercises to Resident 5's both arms and right leg and applied splints to Resident 5's right hand and right knee.

RNA 1 stated she was initially unsure how long to leave Resident 5's hand and knee splints on and when to alternate the splints because the RNA orders were unclear and confusing. RNA 1 stated she was unsure if Resident 5's splint orders for a 4-to-6-hour wear time meant 4 to 6 hours for each splint on each side of the body or 4 to 6 hours total for both splints on both sides of the body for the day. RNA 1 stated she was unsure if she was supposed to alternate the splint placement on the same day or every other day. RNA 1 stated the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) clarified the splint wear times for both splints were for a total of 4 to 6 hours on both sides of the body and to alternate the splints in the same day. RNA 1 stated the RNA orders were never changed to indicate the splint wear time clarifications and could potentially cause staff confusion and incorrect application of splint wear times since the RNA orders were unclear. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 4:11 pm, the DOR stated the Rehabilitation Department (Rehab) determined the splint wear time and schedule for all residents on the RNA program. The DOR reviewed Resident 5's RNA splint orders, dated 7/10/2025, and stated the RNA orders were unclear and inaccurately written. The DOR stated the RNA orders were confusing because they did not specify how long to leave each splint on each hand and each knee and did not indicate when to alternate the splints. The DOR stated unclear and inaccurate orders could potentially cause confusion among staff and incorrect application of splint wear times which could result in the residents experiencing pain, discomfort, and skin breakdown (tissue damage caused by friction, shear, moisture, or pressure). During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:33 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated Rehab was responsible for assessing the types of splints and determining the splint wear time for all residents in the facility. The DON reviewed Resident 5's RNA splinting orders, dated 7/10/2025, and stated the splinting orders were unclear because they did not specify how long to leave each splint on each hand and each knee and did not indicate when to alternate the splints. The DON stated the RNA splinting orders as written were confusing and could potentially lead to the residents experiencing pain, skin breakdown if the splints were applied longer than the recommended amount of time, and staff confusion. During a review of the facility's P/P titled “Accuracy of Documentation,” the P/P indicated all documentation in the resident records were accurate, timely, complete, and consistent with professional standards, supporting quality of care, resident safety, and regulatory compliance. The P/P indicated all entries must be factual, objective, and reflect the care provided. 2. During a review of Resident 66's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 66 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) with behavioral disturbance, schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts, mood, and behavior), bipolar type (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), anxiety disorder (mental health condition characterized by excessive worry, fear, and nervousness), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality) not due to a substance or known physiological condition. During a review of Resident 66's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 66's cognitive skills (functions your brain uses to think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) for daily decision-making were moderately impaired.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/4/2025 at 1:45 p.m., with the Director of Social Services (DSS), Resident 66's medical records were reviewed and Residents 66's conservatorship documents were not included in the medical records. The DSS stated conservatorship papers should have been in the chart, so nurses know who to get consent from and to protect residents' rights. During an interview on 9/5/2025 at 3:15 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON) the DON stated that conservatorship papers need to be in the chart to indicate to staff who the responsible party was. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, “Accuracy of Medical Records Policy”, revised 1/2025, the P&P indicated that all medical records are accurate, complete, timely, and maintained in compliance with regulatory requirements and professional standards, thereby supporting quality care, resident safety, and legal integrity. 3. During a review of Resident 124's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 124 was admitted to the facility 5/1/2025 with diagnoses of dementia (a group of conditions that cause a decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, language, attention, and problem-solving, severe enough to interfere with daily life), history of falling, and age-related osteoporosis (a condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures [broken bones]). During a review of Resident 124's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 124 had severe cognitive impairment (difficulties with mental functions like thinking, learning, remembering, and decision-making, affecting skills such as communication and self-help). The MDS indicated Resident 124 required partial/ moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) for personal hygiene (combing hair, shaving, and washing/ drying face and hands. The MDS indicated Resident 124 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/ or touching/ steadying as the resident completes and activity) for bathing and showering. During a review of Resident 124's Skin Note dated 5/1/2025, the Skin Note did not mention and deformity to Resident 124's right forearm.

During a review of Resident 124's Change of Condition (COC) Evaluation dated 8/3/2025, the COC indicated a deformity was noted to the right forearm. The COC indicated Family Member (FM) 1 was called and she informed the facility the right forearm deformity was already there and not new. During an observation on 9/3/2025 at 3:59 p.m., Resident 124 was lying in bed, Resident 124 denied any pain, but his right forearm was observed to be deformed with the two bones in his forearm appearing to be criss-crossed in an unnatural position and not aligning with the bones of his hand. Resident 124 was able to open and close his hand and no swelling or bruising was noted.

RN 1 stated after reviewing Resident 124's progress notes and skin checks since admission, the nursing staff failed to capture the right forearm deformity until 8/3/2025 when the COC was done regarding the right forearm deformity. RN 1 stated any abnormalities to a resident's body should be captured in the resident's documentation, so staff had a baseline to compare any changes too. RN 1 stated it would have been an important assessment to capture the right forearm deformity to ensure the resident was provided with the correct care and handled gently. RN 1 stated it was also important to capture baseline abnormalities, so unnecessary care was not rendered for old injuries.
