F 0578 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some 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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the copy of the advance directive (a legal document stating a person's wishes about receiving medical care if the person is no longer able to make medical decisions) was maintained in the resident's medical record for one of 19 final sampled residents (Resident 33). * The facility failed to maintain a copy of Resident 33's advance directive in the resident's medical record. This failure had the potential for the facility to provide treatment and services against the resident's wishes. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Advance Directive revised date [DATE], showed upon admission, the Admissions Staff or Designee will provide written information to the resident concerning his or her right to make decisions concerning medical care; including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate advance directives. During the Social Service Assessment process, the Director of Social Services or Designee will also ask the resident if they have a written advance directive. If the resident has an Advance Directive, the facility shall request a copy of the document from the resident or the resident's representative. It is the resident's or resident representative's responsibility to provide the facility with a copy of any Advance Healthcare Directive (AHCD) document (living will, health care proxy, or medical power of attorney), or other document that could affect their care. If a copy is provided by the resident or resident representative, it will be placed in the medical record. Review of Resident 33's medical record was initiated on [DATE]. Resident 33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE]. Review of Resident 33's Advance Healthcare Directive Acknowledgment form dated [DATE], showed Resident 33 had no advance directive and did not want information at the time. Review of Resident 33's Order Summary Report showed a physician's order dated [DATE], for a full code (healthcare directive that all life-saving measures should be used if a resident's heart stops or they stop breathing) and CPR will be given. Review of the Resident 33's H&P examination dated [DATE], showed Resident 33 had no mental capacity to make decisions. Review of Resident 33's Quarterly Social Service Progress Note dated [DATE], showed the information on how to execute an advance directive was provided and Resident 33 had an advance directive on file. However, there was no copy of the advance directive in Resident 33's medical record. On [DATE] at 0847 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the Case Manager/SSD. The Case Manager/SSD verified the above findings and stated a copy of the advance directive should be in the resident's medical record and uploaded in the resident's electronic medical record. The Case Manager/SSD further stated in the event when the resident had a change of condition, unable to verbalize their needs, or incapacitated, the facility would be able to reach the resident's next of kin. On [DATE] at 1313 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON were informed and acknowledged the above findings. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0582 Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility document review, the facility failed to provide the written Notice of Medicare Non-coverage (NOMNC) form CMS-10123, and the Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN) form CMS-10055 for one of three residents (Resident 15) reviewed for beneficiary notification. The NOMNC and SNFABN forms are used to inform the residents of their potential financial liability, appeal rights, and protection should they wish to receive care and services that may not be covered by Medicare. * The facility failed to ensure followed up was made with Resident 15's responsible party to have him review and sign the NOMNC and SNF ABN forms. This failure had the potential of not allowing Resident 15 and/or their representative to make an informed decision regarding their Medicare servicesFindings: Medical record review for Resident 15 was initiated on 9/17/25. Resident 15 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 15's H&P examination dated 2/25/25, showed the resident had no capacity to understand and make medical decisions. Review of Resident 15's NOMNC (undated) showed the effective date coverage of Resident 15's skilled nursing service would end on 3/24/25. The section for the signature of the resident or representative was blank. The document also showed the Business Office manager (BOM) called Resident 15's responsible party on 3/21/25, notifying the responsible party of the Medicare Covered Part A stay was ending on 3/24/25. Review of Resident 15's SNF ABN showed Medicare doesn't pay for everything even some care that you and your health care provider think you need. The Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage or its utilization review committee believes that the care listed below does not meet the Medicare coverage requirement. Beginning 3/25/25, you may have to pay out of pocket for this care if you do not have insurance that may cover those costs. Further review of the document did not show the signature of Resident 15 and/or the resident's authorized representative. Review of Resident 15's Optional Form to Document Alternate Delivery for the NOMNC showed Resident 15's responsible party was contacted via telephone call on 3/21/25, and via email on 3/24/25. In addition, the Confirmation of Refusal to Sign section was blank. On 9/17/25 at 0906 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the BOM (Business Office Manager). The BOM stated Resident 15's responsible party requested the NOMNC and SNF ABN forms be sent to his email address. The BOM reviewed Resident 15's medical record and verified the above findings. The BOM stated she did not have any documentation to show she followed up with Resident 15's responsible party to have him review and sign the NOMNC and SNF ABN forms. On 9/22/25 at 1300 hours, an interview was conducted with the Administrator, DON, Nursing Consultant, and Chief Business Officer.

If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three final sampled residents (Resident 7) remained free from an accident/hazards due to the use of the side rails/ grab bars. * The facility failed to ensure the informed consent was obtained and completed for Resident 7's bilateral U grab bars. This failure had the potential to put the resident at risk for entrapment and serious injuries. Findings: According to FDA.gov, deaths and serious injuries related to side rail entrapment have occurred with the use of side rails. The FDA issued a Safety Alert entitled Entrapment Hazards with Hospital Bed Side Rails. Residents most at risk for entrapment are those who are frail or elderly or those who have conditions such as agitation, delirium, confusion, pain, uncontrolled body movement, hypoxia, fecal impaction, acute urinary retention, etc., that may cause them to move about the bed or try to exit from the bed. Entrapment may occur when a resident is caught between the mattress and bed rail or in the bed rail itself. Inappropriate positioning or other care related activities could contribute to the risk of entrapment. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Rails revised on 5/30/24, showed the ordering physician will obtain informed consent from the resident/ resident representative prior to the use of bed rails. On 9/15/25 at 0943 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 7 was observed lying in bed awake and verbally responsive. Resident 7's bed was observed with the bilateral U grab bars elevated. On 9/17/25 at 0951 hours, a follow up observation was conducted with Resident 7. Resident 7 was observed lying in bed awake and verbally responsive. Resident 7's bed was observed with the bilateral U grab bars elevated. Medical record review for Resident 7 was initiated on 9/15/25. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 7's H&P examination dated 7/24/25, showed Resident 7 was unable to make her own medical decisions. Review of Resident 7's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 7 had a BIMS of 9, indicating moderate impaired cognition. Review of Resident 7's Order Summary Report for 9/2025 showed a physician's order dated 7/28/22, for the bilateral grab bars for the ADL care changes, mobility, positioning, and as an enabler. Further review of Resident 7's medical record failed to show the informed consent was obtained for the use of the bilateral U grab bars. On 9/17/25 at 1059 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 6. CNA 6 stated Resident 7 used the bilateral U grab bars for turning and repositioning while in bed. On 9/18/25 at 1026 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN 1 stated Resident 7 currently used the bilateral U grab bars for turning in bed. LVN 1 verified the above findings and stated the informed consent should be obtained for safety measures and updated when the physician's order changed.
