What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 11 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 record review and interview, the facility failed to meet federal regulatory requirements when the clinical record for one of three sampled residents (Resident 8) had no documented justification for extending a PRN (as needed) psychotropic medication (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) order beyond 14 days.This failure had the potential to result in Resident 8 receiving an unnecessary psychotropic medication which could affect the resident's health and safety.Findings:During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a pattern of mental decline caused by different diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily activities).During a review of Resident 8's Order Summary Report (OSR), dated 1/8/26, the OSR indicated, the medication order, Lorazepam (a medication used to treat anxiety) tablet give one (1) milligram (mg) by mouth every 12 hours as needed for anxiety manifested by (m/b) frantic searching. The medication was ordered 12/18/2025 with no end date.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 2:40 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 8's clinical record including the OSR, dated 1/8/26, were reviewed. DON verified that the medication order for Lorazepam. which was ordered 12/18/25 had no end date and acknowledged that PRN psychotropic medication orders should be renewed every 14 days based on regulatory requirements. Further review of Resident 8's clinical record failed to show documented justification that would warrant not renewing the medication order every 14 days. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure care plan interventions were properly implemented and documented in the clinical record for two of three sampled residents (Residents 8 and 2) when:1. Monitoring for wander guard device (a monitoring device used to ensure safety for residents at risk for elopement/wandering) placement and function was not implemented and documented in Resident 8's clinical record.2. Monitoring for pacemaker (a small, battery-powered device that prevents the heart from beating too slowly) status and function was not implemented and documented in Resident 2's clinical record.These monitoring oversight failures inaccurately reflect these residents' current health statuses which could potentially compromise their health and safety.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a pattern of mental decline caused by different diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily activities).During a review of Resident 8's Wandering Risk Assessments (a tool used to assess the likelihood of wandering in residents, particularly those with cognitive impairments or dementia), completed on various dates, the assessments indicated the following wandering risk scores: 4/30/25 = 18 (high risk), 5/28/25 = 18 (high risk), 8/27/25 = 12 (high risk), and 11/27/25 = 11 (high risk).During a review of Resident 8's Care Plan Report, initiated 5/30/25, the Care Plan indicated in part, The resident is an elopement risk (refers to the likelihood a resident may leave the facility unsupervised and unnoticed)/wanderer r/t (related to) disoriented to place, history of attempts to leave facility unattended. The interventions/tasks for implementation specific to this care plan included, WANDER ALERT: wears on ankle, on nurses' EMAR (electronic medication administration record) for monitoring placement and function (initiated 5/30/25.During a review of Resident 8's Order Audit Report, dated 1/8/26, the Report indicated, a physician order dated 12/22/25, WANDER GUARD. check wander guard for placement and function every day shift.During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 2:45 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON confirmed the order was transcribed in the resident's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) instead of the EMAR as indicated in the care plan. Further review of Resident 8's November and December 2025 TARs revealed a lack of daily staff documentation for the order. The DON acknowledged the oversight and confirmed that staff should have properly implemented the monitoring order. 2. During a review of Resident 2's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 2 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes of irregular heartbeat that start and stop spontaneously), old myocardial infarction (heart attack), ischemic cardiomyopathy (a heart condition caused by low blood flow to the heart muscle), and presence of cardiac pacemaker.During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan Report, initiated 11/11/24, the Care Plan indicated in part, The resident has a pacemaker. The care plan also indicated resident care interventions/tasks for implementation, initiated 11/11/24, including, Monitor/document/report PRN (as needed) any s/sx (signs/symptoms) of altered cardiac output or pacemaker malfunction: .PULSE RATE LOWER THAN PROGRAMMED RATE, LOWER THAN BASELINE B/P (blood pressure).During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 2:55 p.m. with DON, Resident 2's pacemaker care plan, initiated 11/11/24, was reviewed.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to revise one out of five sampled residents (Resident 36) care plan following minimum data set (MDS - a standardized, comprehensive assessment tool used to collect essential resident data) assessments. This failure resulted in inaccurate care planning for Resident 36's healthcare needs.During review of Resident 36's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, chronic pain, pressure ulcer (PU - injury to skin and tissue resulting from prolonged pressure) of left heel stage 2 (a shallow open ulcer, with partial-thickness skin loss, and a red/pink base or intact/ruptured blister), encounter for palliative care (care focused on end of life comfort, relieving symptoms, stress, and improving the quality of life), and sepsis (an overactive response to an infection that damages its own tissues, organs, and systems, leading to potential organ failure and death if not treated rapidly). During review of Resident 36's Care Plan (CP), dated 2/27/25, the CP indicated, the resident used anti-anxiety medication (Ativan) related to end stage disease and hospice care and the CP dated 5/20/25 indicated, the resident uses antidepressant medication (Remeron) related to depression. Further review of Resident 36's Comprehensive MDS, dated [DATE] and Quarterly MDS assessments dated 5/27/25, 8/18/25, and 11/10/25, the MDS assessments indicated, the resident did not have anxiety or depression diagnoses and was not taking antianxiety or antidepressant medications. During review of Resident 36's Order Summary (OS), dated 1/08/26, indicates there are no active orders for Ativan (Lorazepam) or Remeron (Mirtazapine) or any other type of antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication. The OS indicates Lorazepam 0.5 mg (milligrams) every 2 hours as needed for anxiety m/b (manifested by) nausea, apprehension, uncontrolled movement for 14 days was ordered on 2/27/25 and discontinued on 3/13/25. The medication was re-ordered with a start date of 3/12/25 and discontinued on 3/26/25. Remeron 7.5 mg by mouth at bedtime for depression was ordered on 5/19/25 and discontinued on 5/20/25. During a concurrent interview and review on 1/8/26 at 3:45 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 36's OS dated, 1/8/26 and CP's dated, 2/27/25 and 5/20/25 were reviewed. DON stated Resident 36 was prescribed Ativan and Remeron for hospice comfort care but the medications were discontinued because the resident never took them. DON acknowledged the resident's care plan was inaccurate and was not updated to reflect the resident's status at the time of the MDS assessments. During review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Care Planning, dated 7/1/14, the P&P indicated in part, Purpose: To assure that all residents care needs are identified through continuous assessments and that those needs are care planned with corresponding measurable objectives and adequate interventions.Procedure: 5.As the resident's assessment changes, the MDS nurse should update the care plan as appropriate.7. The care plan.should present a current picture of the resident and the care they need.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. 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 the provision of resident care and services were performed within acceptable professional nursing standards for three of six sampled residents (Residents 8, 45 and 36) when:1. Resident 8 missed their medication on several occasions, and there was no subsequent follow-up by the nursing staff.2. Resident 45's oxygen (O2) saturations (02 sats- measure of 02 in the blood) were not consistently documented in the clinical record.3. Resident 36 was treated with Calmoseptine Ointment (a multi-purpose moisture barrier used to soothe and protect irritated skin from moisture, itching, and discomfort) for a wound without a physician's order.These failures had the potential to result in unsafe nursing care practices which could compromise the health and safety of these residents.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 8's admission Record (AR), dated 1/8/26, the AR indicate, Resident 8 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with admission diagnoses including, Alzheimer's disease (a progressive brain disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior), dementia with mood disturbance (a pattern of mental decline caused by different diseases or conditions), major depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and anxiety disorder (a mental health condition characterized by excessive fear, worry, and anxiety that can interfere with daily activities). Residents Affected - Few During a review of Resident 8's Medication Review Report (MRR), dated 1/10/26, the MRR indicated the medication order, Quetiapine Fumarate [an antipsychotic medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions, hallucinations, paranoia or disordered thought) that treats schizophrenia (a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel and behave) and bipolar disorder (a mental health condition where you have extreme mood changes)] oral tablet. give 100 milligram (mg) by mouth at bedtime manifested by (m/b) frantic and fearful statements and pacing. ordered 9/29/25. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/26 at 2:30 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 8's Medication Administration Records (MARs), for the months of November and December 2025 were reviewed, respectively. The administration records for the medication Quetiapine Fumarate give 100 mg. at bedtime indicated Resident 8 missed this medication on several occasions as follows: for November 2025, 20 out of 30 days and for December 2025, 17 out of 31 days. The documented reason for these missed doses under the MAR's chart codes, was that Resident 8 was sleeping (number 7 on the chart code) at the time of the administration. Resident 8's clinical record failed to indicate documentation that the physician was notified, or nursing staff followed up on the resident for these missed doses. DON verified the findings and verbalized that staff should have followed up with the resident after each missed dose and should have informed the interdisciplinary team (IDT - a group of health care professionals with various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their clients) so proper discussions were made in terms of managing the medication administration timing and frequency. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Psychotherapeutic Medication (any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior) Use, dated 10/7/24, the P&P indicated in part, Purpose: To assure that monitoring is done when psychotherapeutic medications are given. Procedure: .5) Give medications as ordered. 7) Monitor for and document effectiveness of the medication. If ineffective, notify the physician.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few produces a written account of pertinent data, clinical decisions and interventions, and patient responses in a health record. Documentation in a patient's health record is a vital aspect of nursing practice. 2. During a review of Resident 45's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of panlobular emphysema (a severe form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD- a lung disease which makes it difficult to breathe] where the lung's air sacs are destroyed throughout causing large, air-filled pockets and impaired gas exchange, leading to shortness of breath.) During an observation on 1/6/26 at 12:10 p.m. in the Dining Room, Resident 45 was observed eating lunch while on 2 liters of oxygen. On 1/7/26 at 3:20 p.m. the resident was observed without oxygen self-propelling in the wheelchair towards Nursing Station 1 saying, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. I need my oxygen. During a review of Resident 45's Order Summary (OS), dated 1/8/26, the OS indicated, Supplemental O2 if below 88% for comfort, 2 liters as needed for O2 less than 88%. Review of Resident 45's The Hospice/Comfort Care Progress Notes, dated 11/22/25-1/1/26 indicated the O2 saturations were inconsistently monitored. Oxygen saturations were obtained on 11/22/25-11/25/25, 11/27/25-11/28/25, 12/4/25, 12/6/25, 12/9/25, 12/11/25, 12/18/25, 12/19/25, 12/24/25, 12/28/25, and 1/1/26. During an interview on 1/8/26 at 2:48 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated O2 saturations should have been documented every shift for Resident 45. The DON stated nursing staff needed to assess the status of the resident's breathing and O2 saturations to determine the resident's need for O2. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Administration, dated 10/8/24, the P&P indicated, A. Administration of Medication, 8. When administration of the drug is dependent upon vital signs or testing, the vital signs/testing shall be completed prior to administration of the medication and recorded in the medical record i.e. BP, pulse, finger stick blood glucose monitoring, etc.Nursing Procedures 23. Obtain and record any vital signs taken by the CNA within 2 hours of the med pass. 3. During a review of Resident 36's AR, dated 1/8/26, the AR indicated, Resident 34 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of pressure ulcer (PU - injury to skin and tissue resulting from prolonged pressure) of left heel, stage 2 (a shallow open ulcer, with partial-thickness skin loss, and a red/pink base or intact/ruptured blister). During a review of Resident 36's admission Summary Progress Note, dated February 26, 2025, the Progress Note indicated in part, Has an old wound to his left heel measuring at 1.5 cm x 2cm. Area was cleaned and covered no drainage was noted area is tender.Redness to right heel was noted blanchable. Has slight redness to coccyx (small triangular bone on the base of the spinal column) area applying [NAME] (Calmoseptin ointment). Further review of Resident 36's Order Summary (OS), dated January 8, 2026, the OS indicated, no physician orders to treat skin wounds or an order to apply calmoseptine ointment to coccyx area. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 3:48 p.m. with the DON, Resident 36's admission Summary Progress Note, dated 2/26/25 and OS, dated 1/8/26 were reviewed.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview, observation and record review, the facility failed to obtain monthly weights for one of four sampled residents (Resident 4).This failure had the potential for undetected weight fluctuations that could signal underlying health problems.Findings:During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/26 at 3:30 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 4's Current vital signs (CVS), dated 1/8/26 were reviewed. The CVS indicated, the last monthly weight for Resident 4 was obtained on 8/27/24. DON verbalized monthly weights should be obtained for every resident, a notation in the chart should indicate why a monthly weight was not obtained. DON confirmed there were no nursing notes or dietary notes present in Resident 4's medical record that provided an explanation for why the monthly weights were not done.During an interview on 1/8/26 at 3:45 p.m. with Resident 4, Resident 4 verbalized, the facility can weigh her, she has not refused, and has no problem with being weighed in a sling.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Maintaining Acceptable Parameters of Nutritional Status (Nutrition and Weight Management), dated August 14, 2023, the P&P indicated, All residents, with the exception of residents admitted with a doctor's different stipulation, will be weighed upon admission and weekly for four weeks or until stable.

F 0710 Obtain a doctor's order to admit a resident and ensure the resident is under a doctor's care. 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 a physician provided timely consultation or treatment when contacted by the facility to address a change in condition for two of five sampled residents' (Residents 23 and 28). This deficient practice resulted in a delay in care and treatment to meet Residents 23's and 28's immediate care needs and had the potential to result in an avoidable deterioration in health. During review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Change of Condition, dated 9/30/24, the P&P indicated in part, Purpose: To ensure that appropriate care and documentation occurs when residents experience a change of condition. Procedure: 2. Notify the attending physician promptly.5. Follow up nursing assessments and monitoring until the condition has stabilized .What is a Change of Condition? .Any sudden or marked change in:.Abnormal lab or X-ray reports.Open or red areas.Bruises, lacerations, blisters, rashes, or skin tears. a. During review of Resident 23's admission Record (AR), dated 1/9/26, the AR indicated, the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination), dementia (a decline in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills severe enough to interfere with daily life, caused by brain cell damage), and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (the body cannot use insulin correctly and sugar builds up in the blood) with diabetic peripheral angiopathy (poor circulation in the legs/feet). During an interview with Resident 23's responsible party (RP) on 1/6/26 at 3:04 p.m., RP stated Resident 23 had developed blisters in September 2025 but there was a delay in care because the facility physician did not respond to the resident's change in condition. RP stated the staff were informed that Resident 23 had a medical history of bullous pemphigoid (a rare, chronic autoimmune skin disease causing large, itchy, fluid-filled blisters and hives) and needed to see a dermatologist (a medical doctor that specializes in conditions and diseases of the skin) yet no action was taken by the facility until approximately two weeks later after Resident 23's skin condition got worse. During review of Resident 23's Progress Notes (PN), dated 9/15/25 - 9/25/25, the PN's indicated, a licensed nurse had identified a 3 cm (centimeter - a metric unit of length) x 1.5 cm fluid filled blister on Resident 23's right outer index finger on 9/15/25. The physician and resident 23's RP were notified on 9/15/25. On 9/21/2025 the certified nursing assistant reported the resident may be biting or gnawing on hand. In the following days, additional fluid filled blisters developed on the resident's right hand fingers and right plantar foot and some blisters had busted open. Progress notes dated 9/22/25 and 9/24/25 indicated, staff were awaiting physician response.
