What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interviews, hospital record review, facility documentation and policy review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from neglect for one Resident (#1) of three residents reviewed for change in condition. On [DATE] during a 12 hour shift when Resident #1 exhibited shortness of breath and not feeling well, was unable to perform her normal daily activities, unusual behaviors and was begging to go to the hospital the nurses on duty neglected to respond with in a way that could have helped the resident. There were no PRN (as needed) medications provided to the resident except pain medication, no documented assessments or vital signs (VS), no call to the resident's provider, and no call to the resident's family. One hour into the following shift the resident was found unresponsive by an aide and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) started. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) transported the resident to a hospital where she was admitted to intensive care and died 2 days later. This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition, serious injury and or death to Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE]. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope was reduced to a D. Findings included: An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. with Staff A, Personal Care Attendant. (Personal Care Attendant or PCA means a person who meets the training requirement in this rule and Section 400.141(1)(w), F.S., and provides care to and assists residents with tasks related to the activities of daily living. According to Florida Administrative Code 59A-4.1081 Personal Care Attendant Training Program Requirements). Staff A, PCA said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital, [DATE], she looked really bloated and hadn't been able to go to the bathroom. Staff A, PCA said the resident was really out of it. He said Resident #1 didn't go out of her room, didn't eat all day and she took her clothes on and off. He said he had never seen the resident act that way before. He said Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling good and was begging to go to the hospital. Staff A, PCA said he told Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) what the resident said and Staff B, LPN told him [Resident #1] tends to exaggerate. Staff A, PCA said when the LPN made that comment he reminded her the resident wanted to go to the hospital. He said another time he went to Staff B, LPN and told her the resident was bloated and not feeling good, Staff B, LPN said she would give Resident #1 a suppository. He said he went to Staff B, LPN three to four times during his shift and told her the resident wasn't feeling good and wanted to go to the hospital.

(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 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Review of a Progress Note written by an APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) dated [DATE] revealed the following: History of Present Illness: This is a complicated patient who was recently discharged from the hospital under the care of multiple subspecialists. Medically the patient requires continued close monitoring and follow up in the skilled nursing arena on a proactive basis to have an impact on reduction of rehospitalization/morbidity/and mortality. The patient's respiratory status is slowly improving at this time. We will continue to monitor closely due to the patient's multiple comorbidities and high risk for decompensation. In the review of systems the resident was negative for reduced appetite, negative for dyspnea (feeling short of breath) on exertion. Review of a progress note dated [DATE] at 6:59 p.m. showed the following: Pt (patient) reported to NP(Nurse practitioner name) she was having severe pain in her abdomen. NP (name) gave orders to write to order a KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder x-ray). Review of a Radiology Results Report, dated [DATE], showed the KUB conclusion was: Unremarkable abdomen exam. Consider more sensitive imaging evaluation with CT (computerized Tomography Scan, sometimes called a CAT scan) as clinically directed. This result was reviewed by Staff G, LPN/UM on [DATE] at 9:40 a.m. Review of a progress note dated [DATE] at 11:21 a.m. showed the following: During care plan meeting resident verbalized that she would like to stay at facility for long term care as she feels this is the level of care she needs.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few During an interview on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. Staff C, RN said VS were documented on the MAR/TAR if it asks for them and if vital signs are being taken because of a concern they are documented directly under the VS tab or sometimes in the progress notes (in the electronic record). During an interview on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. Staff B, LPN/UM said VS are documented in the electronic record in the progress notes and she does not know the Policy and Procedure for monitoring VS. She said there was usually an O2 sat order along with the oxygen order. She agreed there was no evidence in the medical record of the resident being stable because assessments and VS were not documented. She said that she did not notify the physician about the resident wanting to go to the hospital and she said I know, I didn't document . An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with Staff G, LPN/UM. Staff G, LPN said regarding vitals for Resident #1 being documented throughout her stay at the facility she said, that would have been nice, especially her. Staff G, LPN said for a resident with a distended abdomen she would listen for bowel sounds, call the doctor, and see if they wanted to order an x-ray or anything else. Staff G, LPN/UM reviewed Resident #1's KUB results from [DATE] and confirmed there had been no follow-up. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:05 p.m. with Resident #1's primary care physician. He said he would not have expected Resident #1's oxygen orders to have stopped. He said he would expect a patient that came to the facility with a history of respiratory failure to have oxygen saturation monitoring and I would be surprised if they were not. He said for the chest x-ray results on [DATE], the results would not have been overly concerning assuming the resident did not have a fever, but the facility should have notified the provider of all abnormal labs. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:18 p.m. with Staff H, RN. Staff H, RN said Resident #1 was pleasant, alert, and oriented. He said she would sometimes take her oxygen off when she was in the hall and staff would tell her to put it back on due to her having shortness of breath. He said she was out of her room [ROOM NUMBER]% of the time. Staff H, RN said the resident didn't ever complain, say she wanted to go to the hospital and didn't have any behaviors besides occasionally refusing something. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:22 p.m. with Staff J, CNA. Staff J, CNA said Resident #1 mostly took care of herself. Staff J, CNA said the resident would ask for ice or help with little things. She said the resident did get short of breath getting out of bed or doing simple tasks. Staff J, CNA said the resident never gave anybody a hard time and didn't complain unless it was something small. She said Resident #1 would normally eat and if she didn't like the meal, she would ask for snacks or order something to be delivered. Staff J, CNA said the resident never complained of stomach pain or said she wanted to go to the hospital. She said the resident would often have conversations with other residents. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 2:48 p.m. with Staff I, CNA. Staff I, CNA said Resident #1 was a sweet lady and a good eater. Staff I, CNA said she doesn't remember the resident complaining or having any behaviors. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:34 a.m. with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital ([DATE]) she had cared for the resident on the day shift, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was not feeling well that day. She confirmed Staff A, PCA came to her three to four times during her shift and told her the resident wasn't feeling good (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105373 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 24 Printed: 05/28/2026 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 105373 B.

Staff B, LPN said while she was at lunch, Staff A, PCA came and said he didn't feel like Resident #1 was acting right. Staff C, RN went down and was getting a set of VS when Staff B, LPN said she joined him. Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was saying she was having a hard time breathing. She said the resident was scooted down in the bed and Staff B, LPN told the resident she could breathe better if staff pulled her up in bed and got her lungs straight. Staff B, LPN said she thinks that was around 3:00-4:00p.m. She said when Staff A, PCA told her what the resident said, she did an assessment of what the resident needed and she basically just wanted her pain medication. Staff B, LPN said she gave Resident #1 a pain pill when she went down there and she was much more pleasant. A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said for Resident #1 she noticed her abdomen was distended earlier in the day on [DATE]. She said when she went back around 3:00 p.m. the resident had just had a bowel movement. She said she thinks the resident's abdomen was down some compared to what it was. Staff B, LPN said she thinks the bowel movement could have possibly been the cause of her distended abdomen. Staff B, LPN confirmed the resident was complaining of breathing issues on [DATE]. She said she did not administer the resident's PRN breathing treatment because her oxygen saturation was ok. She said we just sat her up in bed. Staff B, LPN said at that time no she did not ask the resident if she wanted her breathing treatment. Staff B, LPN confirmed she did not document any assessments or VS she did during the day of [DATE]. Staff B, LPN said on [DATE] she did not consider the resident was having a change in condition. She said the resident had taken her oxygen off before and was short of breath. She said that day the resident was slumped in bed, so we straightened her up and put her oxygen back on. Staff B, LPN was asked if a resident is alert and oriented and requested to go to the hospital does she have the right to go. Staff B, LPN responded, yes ma'am! She said, I wasn't trying to rebuke her rights, I checked on her and like I said, she was stable. Staff B, LPN confirmed she did not notify the physician about the resident's condition or request to go to the hospital. She said at the time I assessed her. I didn't feel at the time she needed to go to the hospital. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:43 a.m. with Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN.) Staff C, RN said on [DATE] from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. he worked on the unit with Staff B, LPN. Staff C, RN said Staff A, PCA said Resident #1 was feeling bad and needed assistance. He said he and Staff B, LPN went to the room and Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling ok and wanted to go to the hospital. Staff C, RN said the resident's stomach was distended and he believes her oxygen saturation was normal for her. He said Staff B, LPN was the nurse assigned to the resident and the one that would have assessed her. A follow-up interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. with Staff C, RN. He said the PCA came to him because Staff B, LPN was on her lunch break. He said as he walked to the resident's room, Staff B, LPN came in. He said vitals were done and the resident's abdomen was distended. Staff C, RN said the resident was saying she was in a lot of pain and wanted to go to the hospital. Since Staff B, LPN was the assigned nurse, she took over and he went back to his residents. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:03 p.m. with Staff D, RN.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few resident did not have a pulse and was not breathing. She said she started CPR on the resident and attached the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and allowed it to analyze. Staff D, RN said she continued compressions until EMS arrived. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 4:32 p.m. with Staff E, CNA. Staff E, CNA said she took over care for Resident #1 at 7:00 p.m. on [DATE]. She said in report she was told Resident #1 had been different that day and not her usual self. She said it was not like the resident to soil her bed, but when she went to check on her the resident had her brief off and had urinated all over the bed. Staff E, CNA said she thought Resident #1 was asleep. She said she grabbed supplies and asked another CNA to assist her. She said when she went to the resident to wake her up and roll her to her side, she noticed the resident was limp. She said the other CNA ran and got the nurse, the nurse came right away and started CPR. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:46 a.m. with the facility's Medical Director. The Medical Director said he doesn't know the specifics of Resident #1, but it sounded like she had a pretty sudden change in condition. He said usually with COPD you see a slow decline in oxygen saturation. The Medical Director said if a patient with that history said she isn't feeling well and needs to go to the hospital, the nurse should call the provider. He said if a resident had a change in condition the process should be for the nurse to first assess the resident, hopefully properly and completely, then contact the provider for orders. He said that could be medication or going to the hospital. The Medical Director said, no matter how self-inflicted things may be a change in condition warrants an assessment. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 1:20 p.m. with the interim DON and Registered Nurse Consultant (RNC). The RNC said if Resident #1 came from the hospital with oxygen orders, they should have been put in the computer. The interim DON said staff should have been monitoring Resident #1's O2 saturation and documenting. He said they have identified the facility is lacking in the area of documentation and have started education. Regarding the stat x-ray for Resident #1 on [DATE], the RNC said she could not attest to what happened or why there was no documented response. She said, Regardless, the nurse who received the results should have notified the physician and documented. The RNC stated regarding Resident #1 complaining she did not feel well on [DATE], she spoke with the nurse (Staff B) who said once the resident had a bowel movement, she was okay and did not have further complaints. She stated the nurse reported the resident had a bowel movement sometime after 3 p.m. She said, I would expect if a resident was requesting to go to the hospital, that their right to seek medical care was honored. The RNC stated she would have expected the nurse (Staff B) to document vitals and all assessments completed on Resident #1 when she verbalized not feeling well. Review of hospital records showed the patient presented in cardiac arrest. Allegedly had been in cardiac arrest for 30 minutes prior to arrival. She was immediately intubated in the prehospital airway was swapped out for an endotracheal tube. After initial dose of epinephrine in the emergency department she did have return of spontaneous circulation. Pulses were palpable. The record added the prognosis is extremely guarded considering she was allegedly in cardiac arrest for approximately 30 to 45 minutes prior to the return of spontaneous circulation. Of note, EMS reported her bloog [sic] glucose was 26 on arrival. They administered d10 and her glucose went up to 126 prior to arrival.

On [DATE] Resident #1 complained of shortness of breath and not feeling well, was unable to perform her normal daily activities, exhibited unusual behaviors and was begging to go to the hospital. The aide assigned to the resident notified the nurses on duty of the resident's condition and complaints multiple times during a 12-hour shift. There were no documented assessments, vital signs (VS) or notifications to a physician or family member. There were no PRN (as needed) medications provided to the resident except pain medication. One hour into the following shift the resident was found unresponsive by an aide and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) was begun by facility staff. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) transported the resident to a hospital where she was admitted to intensive care and died 2 days later. This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury and or death to Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE]. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on [DATE] and the severity and scope was reduced to a D. Findings included: An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m. with Staff A, Personal Care Attendant. (Personal Care Attendant or PCA means a person who meets the training requirement in this rule and Section 400.141(1)(w), F.S., and provides care to and assists residents with tasks related to the activities of daily living. According to Florida Administrative Code 59A-4.1081 Personal Care Attendant Training Program Requirements). Staff A, PCA said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital, [DATE], she looked really bloated and hadn't been able to go to the bathroom. Staff A, PCA said the resident was really out of it. He said Resident #1 didn't go out of her room, didn't eat all day and she took her clothes on and off. He said he had never seen the resident act that way before. He said Resident #1 said she wasn't feeling good and was begging to go to the hospital. Staff A, PCA said he told Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) what the resident said and Staff B, LPN told him [Resident #1] tends to exaggerate. Staff A, PCA said when the LPN made that comment he reminded her the resident wanted to go to the hospital. He said another time he went to Staff B, LPN and told her the resident was bloated and not feeling good, Staff B, LPN said she would give Resident #1 a suppository. He said he went to Staff B, LPN three to four times during his shift and told her the resident wasn't feeling good and wanted to go to the hospital. An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 10:34 a.m. with Staff B, LPN. Staff B, LPN said the day Resident #1 went to the hospital ([DATE]) she had cared for the resident on the day shift, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Staff B, LPN said Resident #1 was not feeling well that day.

Staff G, LPN/UM said Staff D, RN had called her that evening to let her know she had problems with documenting VS at the time. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:35 a.m. Staff F, RN said the VS were documented in the weights and vitals tab of the electronic medical record. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:05 a.m. Staff C, RN said VS were documented on the MAR/TAR if it asks for them and if vital signs are being taken because of a concern they are documented directly under the VS tab or sometimes in the progress notes (in the electronic record). During an interview on [DATE] at 11:51 a.m. Staff B, LPN/UM said VS are documented in the electronic record in the progress notes and she does not know the Policy and Procedure for monitoring VS. She said there was usually an O2 sat order along with the oxygen order. She agreed there was no evidence in the medical record of the resident being stable because assessments and VS were not documented. She said that she did not notify the physician about the resident wanting to go to the hospital and she said I know, I didn't document . An interview was conducted on [DATE] at 11:15 a.m. with Staff G, LPN/UM. Staff G, LPN said lab and x-ray results go into a portal and have to be reviewed.

The Medical Director said he doesn't know the specifics of Resident #1, but it sounded like she had a pretty sudden change in condition. He said usually with COPD you see a slow decline in oxygen saturation. The Medical Director said if a patient with that history said she isn't feeling well and needs to go to the hospital, the nurse should call the provider. He said if a resident had a change in condition the process should be for the nurse to first assess the resident, hopefully properly and completely, then contact the provider for orders. He said that could be medication or going to the hospital. The Medical Director said, no matter how self-inflicted things may be a change in condition warrants an assessment.
