**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to promote dignity during dining for 1 of 2
residents reviewed for dignity, of a total sample of 49 residents, (#20).Findings: Review of resident #20's
medical record revealed he was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted from an acute
care hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses including quadriplegia (spinal cord injury affecting all four limbs),
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and type 2 diabetes. Review of resident #20's Minimum Data Set (MDS)
annual assessment with an Assessment Reference Date of 9/02/25 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental
Status score of 15 out of 15, indicating intact cognition. The MDS assessment identified impairment of both
upper and lower extremities. The assessment revealed resident #20 was totally dependent on staff for all
activities of daily living (ADLs) except toileting hygiene, for which he required substantial assistance, and
was dependent on staff for mobility. Review of resident #20's comprehensive care plan, revised on 9/04/25,
revealed the resident was unable to perform self-care and required total assistance related to quadriplegia.
The stated goal indicated his ADL needs would be met within 90 days. Review of resident #20's
comprehensive care plan, revised on 9/04/25, identified a problem related to weight loss. An additional care
plan addressing potential weight loss indicated the resident was dependent on staff for assistance with all
meals and directed nursing staff to allow adequate time for meals to be consumed. On 12/01/25 at 1:48
PM, a female staff member was observed standing while feeding lunch to resident #20. There was no chair
in the resident's room for staff to sit during the meal. On 12/01/25 at 4:07 PM, resident #20 stated there
used to be an extra chair in his room, however, it was removed a few weeks earlier because his roommate's
wheelchair did not fit in the room, and the chair was not replaced. He shared, Certified Nursing Assistants
(CNAs) normally stood while feeding him. Resident #20 expressed he preferred staff to sit while assisting
him with his meals which allowed them to take their time due to his swallowing difficulties. On 12/03/25 at
11:53 AM, CNA B stated she had assisted resident #20 with lunch the previous day while standing. She
indicated she sat sometimes but acknowledged she did not always do so. CNA B explained this depended
on the available space in the room. She confirmed she was standing while assisting resident #20 during
lunch the previous day and breakfast that morning. She did not recall whether a chair was available in the
resident's room. The CNA stated some rooms did not have chairs but acknowledged it was better for the
residents to be seated and at eye level of the dependent residents while they ate. On 12/03/25 at 12:50 PM,
CNA C stated she typically sat down to assist residents who required help with meals in order to remain at
eye level and would obtain a chair if one was not present in the room. She confirmed she stood while
assisting resident #20 due to his condition and the presence of special devices attached to his bed. She
explained she elevated the head of the bed during meals but remained standing. CNA C indicated she had
not discussed or requested guidance regarding resident #20's meal set-up with anyone. On 12/03/25 at

Practical Nurse (LPN) C stated resident #20 was dependent on staff for all ADLs. She indicated she did not
recall observing CNAs sitting while assisting resident #20 with meals. She stated she had observed most
CNAs sitting while feeding other residents but had also observed some standing, noting it depended on
chair availability. She stated CNAs preferred to be at eye level with residents and, at times, she had
encouraged CNAs to sit. On 12/04/25 at 10:11 AM, during an interview with the C Wing's Unit Manager
(UM) and the Director of Nursing (DON), the UM stated CNAs normally sat when feeding residents,
however CNAs stood while feeding resident #20 because he liked to watch television while eating. The UM
explained CNAs could obtain information on how to care for assigned residents by reviewing the care plan,
or consulting nurses or other CNAs familiar with the resident. The DON stated any deviation from standard
care should be included in the resident's individualized care plan and confirmed the standing position
described as resident #20's preference was not documented in the comprehensive care plan. Later, at
approximately 3:00 PM, the UM stated there were 25 residents in the facility who were dependent on staff
for eating. Review of the admission packet provided to all residents included a list of Resident Rights and
read, The Facility strives to promote care for residents in a manner and in an environment that maintains or
enhances each resident's dignity and respect, in full recognition of his individuality.

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to respond in writing to repeated grievances
identified by resident council over a six-month period, (June to November 2025).Findings: During Resident
Council meeting on 12/02/25 at 10:34 AM, members of Resident Council verified they met monthly. The
members stated several grievances had been voiced regarding nurse and aide staffing, staff customer
service and dietary issues. The residents in attendance agreed the same concerns were voiced month after
month without a resolution from the facility. The group expressed no one ever responded to the grievances
and informed them of what was done. Review of the grievance log from June through November of 2025
revealed one grievance from the Resident Council dated 11/12/25, in regard to their concerns with staff
being loud, rude, and on their cell phones in the dining room. Further review of Resident Council minutes
from June through November 2025 revealed the staff customer service concerns about staff on their cell
phones was repeated several times. There were also repeat grievances for the cleanliness of the shower
rooms. On 12/03/25 at 3:40 PM, the Activity Director stated she attended every Resident Council meeting
and helped facilitate conversations between the council and the facility. She stated typically she did not fill
out a grievance form unless it was a majority concern for the group, but Resident Council minutes were
discussed during the facility's daily morning management meeting. The Activity Director explained they
decided as a group how to handle the concerns, then they were handed off to the related department head.
She confirmed this process was completed verbally and there was no written documentation of the
process. The Activity Director acknowledged Resident Council members reported they did not feel like
anyone was listening to them. n 12/04/25 at 9:41 AM, the Nursing Home Administrator explained his
expectation related to Resident Council concerns was for the Activities Director to bring their concerns to
their daily morning meeting to discuss, then hand the concerns off to the appropriate Department Head. He
acknowledged the Resident Council concerns were not written up into a grievance form which would show
how or if the concerns were addressed. Review of the facility's policy and procedure for Resident and
Family Grievances effective 3/30/12 revealed that grievances which were verbal should be recorded on the
grievance form which would serve as communication to other staff members. One of the various forms of
grievances included verbal complaints during Resident Council meetings. The policy described that the staff
member who received the grievance should complete the grievance form.

Properly hold, secure, and manage each resident's personal money which is deposited with the nursing
home.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow generally accepted accounting principles in the
management of resident personal funds for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for personal funds, of a total sample
of 49 residents, (#13).Findings: Review of resident #13's medical record revealed she was readmitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Parkinsonism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and
neuropathy. Review of the Minimum Data Set quarterly assessment with an Assessment Reference Date of
9/29/25 revealed resident #13 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 out of 15
indicating mild cognitive impairment. A BIMS score of 12/15 indicates the individual has a relatively good
level of cognitive function, (retrieved on 12/17/25 from www.clevelandclinic.org). On 12/02/25 at 9:17 AM,
resident #13 stated she had not received bank statements or the facility's financial statements. She shared
the facility managed her finances and she would like to receive monthly statements to know her balance.
She stated she was schedule to have her hair done that day and did not even know whether she had
sufficient funds in her account to pay for the service. On 12/03/25 at 10:21 AM, Financial Specialist
Assistant A stated she managed resident trust accounts. She indicated quarterly statements were mailed to
residents or resident representatives. She confirmed resident #13 had a resident trust account. She
explained earlier in the year the facility learned resident #13 maintained an external bank account and
received a pension from the Veterans Administration. She stated the facility assisted resident #13 with
transferring those funds into her resident trust account and with reapplying for Medicaid. She further
mentioned resident #13 had a Power of Attorney (POA) added to manage her affairs effective 5/27/25.
Financial Specialist Assistant A explained when a resident served as their own responsible party, quarterly
statements were mailed to the facility and delivered to the resident's room. She stated she failed to mail
statements to the POA because the address on file listed the resident and the facility's address. She
explained the appropriate process when a POA was added was to update the POA address in the system
so quarterly statements would be automatically mailed to the POA. She confirmed resident #13 would have
been mailed the first quarter 2025 statement in April and stated statements could be provided upon
request, despite the presence of a POA. Financial Specialist Assistant A was unable to provide evidence
resident #13 or her POA received any quarterly statements during 2025. On 12/03/25 at 10:37 AM,
Financial Specialist Assistant F stated resident #13 requested a copy of her trust account statement earlier
that morning but she had not yet provided one. She said she notified resident #13's POA of the resident's
request. Review of the current admission packet provided to all residents revealed a list of Resident Rights
which included the management of personal funds which read, Your individual financial records will be
available to you through quarterly statement and upon the written request of you or your Responsible Party.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide maintenance and
housekeeping services necessary to maintain a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable interior in 2 of 2 shower
rooms, on 1 of 3 units, (B-Wing).Findings: On 12/02/25 at 10:03 AM, resident #33 shared there was a black
substance above the door in one of the B wing shower rooms. On 12/04/25 at 1:28 PM, the Housekeeping
Director stated he was responsible for managing housekeeping and laundry services. He shared he
performed monthly audits of residents' rooms to ensure conditions were in good order. An observation of
the east individual shower room in the B-wing was conducted with the Housekeeping Director at 1:48 PM. A
black substance was observed on the ceiling near the air conditioner vent and on the vent itself
(photographic evidence obtained). The Housekeeping Director stated the black substance resulted from
condensation from the air conditioner vent. He indicated housekeeping staff were responsible for cleaning
the exterior of the vent, while maintenance staff were responsible for the ceiling. An observation of the
B-wing north-side individual shower room was also conducted, during which a similar substance was
observed near the shower area. The Housekeeping Director stated housekeepers checked the showers
every morning and performed a deep clean weekly. He explained special chemicals were used to remove
mildew and acknowledged the condition of the showers was not acceptable. He said his expectation was for
shower rooms to be clean. On 12/04/25 at 1:59 PM, the Maintenance Director stated he expected staff to
inform him of maintenance needs, as staff were in resident rooms and common areas more frequently than
he was. The Maintenance Director stated he was unaware of the black substance found in the east
individual shower room on the B-Wing. He explained the substance was caused by the dust mixed with
condensation from the vent. He reiterated no one had reported the condition of the shower room ceiling.
The Maintenance Director said his expectation was for shower rooms to be clean and homelike for
residents. On 12/04/25 at 2:16 PM, the Administrator reviewed the photograph obtained from the shower
room and confirmed he expected the shower rooms to be kept clean. Review of the facility's policy titled
Resident Environment Quality dated 3/01/10 revealed its purpose was to protect the health and safety of
residents, personnel, and the public. The policy process included the directive, Preventive maintenance
schedules, for the maintenance of the building and equipment, should be followed to maintain a safe
environment.

Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the grievance process by not making a
prompt effort to resolve a grievance and not keeping the resident apprised of the progress toward resolution
for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for personal property, of a total sample of 49 residents, (#20).Findings: Review
of resident #20's medical record revealed he was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted
from an acute care hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses including quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs),
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and type 2 diabetes. Review of resident #20's Minimum Data Set (MDS)
annual assessment with an Assessment Reference Date of 9/02/25 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental
Status score of 15 out of 15, indicating intact cognition. The MDS assessment noted it was very important
to resident #20 to take care of his personal belongings. On 12/01/25 at 4:33 PM, resident #20 stated
approximately three months earlier, while being moved from the A wing to the C wing, facility staff were
moving his dresser and pushed it forcefully, causing his television (TV) to fall and break. He indicated the
TV was a 55-inch (name brand) smart TV that cost approximately $1,600.00 and stated he would accept a
replacement costing $900.00 if it had the same features. Resident #20 mentioned he was asked to provide
a copy of the purchase receipt for replacement purposes which he did. He further stated the Social
Services Director (SSD) later informed him the Administrator (NHA) said the amount was too much to
reimburse for a TV. Review of resident #20's medical record revealed an interdisciplinary progress note
dated 12/17/24 documenting a care plan meeting held at the resident's bedside with his fiance participating
via telephone. The note read, Resident received a big screen TV this quarter from his brother. He and
roommate watch it together. Review of a Grievance/Complaint Form dated 6/12/25 described the concern
as, During care, resident's personal TV was knocked over and broke. Staff confirmed that they were giving
care and broke the TV. The action to resolve the concern read, Resident was notified that TV will be
reimbursed. The form documented the resolution as, Resident stated that reimbursement will be sufficient
and was signed by the SSD on 6/13/25. Attached to the Grievance/Complaint Form was a receipt showing
the TV cost of $1,299.95 and the sales tax of $88.44. Also attached was a Request for Payment form dated
8/15/25, which indicated the SSD requested a check payable to resident #20 in the amount of $1,388.37.
The explanation of the expenditure read, TV was broken by staff while giving care, and the form was signed
by the NHA. On 12/03/25 at 5:29 PM, the SSD stated resident #20 was provided another TV in the interim
and the NHA was working on obtaining a replacement. The SSD acknowledged there should have been
timely follow-up with resident #20 and documentation regarding the status of his grievance. On 12/04/25 at
2:20 PM, the NHA stated it should not have taken this long to resolve resident #20's grievance. The NHA
acknowledged the grievance process was not followed but stated the issue was now being addressed.
Review of the facility's policy titled Resident and Family Grievances, dated 3/30/12, revealed the Social
Service designee was responsible for taking steps to resolve grievances and documenting actions taken in
the social service progress notes. The policy further indicated the NHA was responsible for following up
with the resident, with the assistance from the Social Service designee, to discuss actions taken to resolve
the grievance. Review of the admission packet provided to all residents included a list of Resident Rights
outlining the Grievance Procedure. The procedure stated the facility would investigate and attempt to
resolve all grievances promptly and provide investigative findings and a plan of action.

or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received proper and timely
assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) to maintain cleanliness and dignity for 2 of 3 residents
reviewed for ADLs, of a total sample of 49 residents, (#20 and #143).Findings: 1.Review of resident #20's
medical record revealed he was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted from an acute
care hospital on [DATE] with diagnoses including quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs), dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing), and type 2 diabetes. Review of resident #20's Minimum Data Set (MDS) annual
assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 9/02/25 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15, indicating intact cognition. The MDS assessment indicated no rejection
of evaluation or care necessary to achieve goals for health and well-being. The MDS assessment showed
resident #20 had impairment of both upper and lower extremities and was totally dependent on staff for all
ADLs except toileting hygiene, for which he required substantial assistance. The MDS assessment further
indicated he was dependent on staff for mobility. Review of resident #20's comprehensive care plan, revised
on 9/04/25, revealed he was unable to perform self-care and required total assistance related to
quadriplegia. The stated goal indicated ADL needs would be met within 90 days. Interventions added on
12/24/24 included assisting resident #20 with brushing his teeth and providing oral care. On 12/01/25 at
4:07 PM, resident #20 stated he primarily received bed baths and occasionally received showers. He
indicated his scheduled shower days were Mondays and Thursdays and expressed a preference for bed
baths. He mentioned Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) did not routinely brush his teeth as part of daily
care and would only do so occasionally if he requested it. On 12/03/25 at 11:53 AM, CNA B stated she had
been assigned to care for resident #20 for approximately two weeks. She shared she provided him with a
full bed bath this morning, including washing his hair. She stated she did not brush his teeth during the bed
bath and did not recall brushing his teeth the previous day, saying, I probably did not. She acknowledged
oral care was not provided and stated she should have brushed his teeth or at least offered it. On 12/04/25
at 10:11 AM, during an interview with the C-Wing Unit Manager (UM) and the Director of Nursing (DON),
the UM stated CNAs were expected to provide oral care, encourage showers or provide bed baths, change
linens and clothing, and encourage residents to get out of bed. She explained CNAs could obtain
information regarding resident care needs by reviewing the plan of care or consulting nurses or CNAs
familiar with the resident. The DON stated any deviation from expected care should be documented in the
individualized resident-specific care plan. Review of the facility's policy titled Brushing the Resident's Teeth,
effective 10/01/10, revealed its purpose was to provide oral hygiene to clean and freshen the resident's
mouth and teeth, reduce the potential for oral infections, stimulate the gums, and remove food particles. The
policy indicated oral hygiene was to be provided twice daily unless contraindicated by a physician or the
resident desired more frequent hygiene. 2. Review of resident #143's medical record revealed he was
originally admitted on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility from an acute care hospital on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) and hemiparesis (one-sided weakness) following a
stroke, rheumatoid bursitis (swelling of this small sac) of the left elbow, hearing loss, and type 2 diabetes.
Review of resident #143's MDS quarterly assessment with an ARD of 8/30/25 revealed a BIMS score of 12
out of 15, indicating mild to moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment indicated no rejection of
evaluation or care necessary to achieve goals for health and well-being. The MDS assessment showed
resident #143 required partial to moderate assistance with showers and transfers. Review of resident
#143's comprehensive care plan, revised on

bathing per schedule and encouraging the resident to wash, rinse and dry body parts within his ability.
Another intervention read, Make bathing process pleasant by ensuring non-hurried atmosphere, give
assistance as needed. On 12/01/25 at 2:11 PM, resident #143 stated he went approximately three weeks
without receiving a shower or bed bath prior to the previous week. He indicated showers resumed only after
he had to throw a fit because he felt stinky. He stated he learned the prior week his scheduled showers
days were Tuesday and Friday. On 12/03/25 at 1:12 PM, CNA E stated resident #143 scheduled shower
days were Tuesday and Friday morning during the 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM shift. She mentioned resident
#143 refused a shower the prior week because he had received one on the previous day with the help of a
therapist. She produced shower sheets showing resident #143 received a shower on 12/02/25 and
11/25/25. Review of additional shower sheets revealed no evidence resident #143 received showers on
10/31, 11/4, 11/11, 11/14, 11/18 and 11/28. Shower sheets for 11/7 and 11/21 could not be located by the
CNA. She stated showers were documented both electronically and on shower sheets but was unable to
explain why showers were not documented as completed. Review of resident #143's physician orders
included an order dated 9/11/25 for showers on Tuesday and Friday evening. Review of the schedule for
showers on the C-Wing located in the shower binder at the nurses' station showed resident #143's showers
were scheduled for Tuesday & Friday during the day shift. Review of the Point of Care (POC) History
document dated 10/31/25 through 12/04/25 revealed CNAs documented functional ability for tub or shower
transfer but did not document whether a shower was provided. The document showed first-shift CNAs
selected not applicable or did not answer for the bathing transfer task 22 of 32 days. Review of the C-Wing
Shower List form used by CNAs instructed staff to sign off as showers are given and nurse to initial, and
also read, Hair washed, nail cleaned and clipped if needed, teeth/dentures brushed with mouth care 2
times a day. Review of the shower sheets revealed no staff signature acknowledging resident #143 received
showers on the following dated: 10/31, 11/4, 11/11, 11/14, 11/18, and 11/28 of 2025. Shower sheets for
11/7 and 11/21 were not found by facility staff. On 12/03/25 at 4:04 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D
stated CNAs were required to sign shower sheets and notify the nurse if a resident refused care. She
indicated nurses were responsible for following up on refusals and documenting them in a nursing note.
Review of resident #143's Progress Notes from October 2025 through 12/04/25 did not reveal
documentation of refusals of showers. On 12/04/25 at 10:44 AM, during an interview with the C-Wing Unit
Manager (UM) and the Director of Nursing (DON), the UM stated resident #143's shower days were
Tuesday and Friday during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift, then stated the shower binder reflected the same
days but during a different shift. The UM explained if a resident requested specific showers days or times, a
physician order would be entered to update the POC. She added CNAs would honor resident requests for
showers outside scheduled days. The UM and DON confirmed no shower sheets were found for 11/07 or
11/21 and there was no evidence resident #143 received a shower on his scheduled days on 10/31, 11/04,
11/11, 11/14, 11/18, and 11/28. The DON stated she was unaware the POC did not include documentation
of whether a shower or bed bath was provided to resident #143. The DON concluded she expected CNAs
to provide showers on assigned days, and document care provided or refusals. On 12/04/25 at 11:50 AM,
the Staff Development Coordinator stated all CNAs were trained on the POC system the previous year
when it was changed. She explained the shower order was not entered correctly, resulting in the task not
appearing on the POC for CNAs to document. Review of the policy titled Bath - Shower or Tub, effective
10/01/10, included showers and tub baths promote resident cleanliness and comfort and residents were to
receive showers or tub baths as needed.

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 implement the recommended Restorative
Nurse Program (RNP) to provide mobility and Range of Motion (ROM) services to improve or maintain
functional ability for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for rehabilitation and restorative services, out of a total
sample of 49 residents, (#13).Findings: Review of resident #13's medical record revealed she was
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Parkinsonism, insomnia, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, neuropathy, and schizoaffective disorder. Review of the Minimum Data Set quarterly
assessment with Assessment Reference Date of 9/29/25 revealed resident #13 had a Brief Interview for
Mental Status score of 12 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment noted
no rejection of evaluation or care necessary to achieve goals for health and well-being. The MDS
assessment showed resident #13 required partial assistance with oral hygiene, substantial assistance with
toileting, shower, and dressing, and was totally dependent on staff for putting on and removing footwear
and personal hygiene. The resident utilized a wheelchair for mobility and required supervision and partial
assistance for bed mobility and sitting in bed. The MDS assessment further indicated resident #13 did not
receive therapy services or RNP during the look-back period. On 12/01/25 at 11:30 AM, resident #13 stated
was waiting to speak with her nurse practitioner to request therapy. She shared when she enrolled in
hospice, she was told she could not receive therapy; however, she later clarified with hospice staff that she
could have some therapy services. She stated she previously worked with therapy on two occasions and
felt better afterward, despite being unable to walk. She said she did not recall receiving RNP services after
therapy concluded. Review of the Physical Therapy (PT) Discharge Summary with dates of service from
1/23/25 through 3/19/25 revealed a long-term goal to Establish and train nursing with FMP (Functional
Maintenance Plan) and RNP. The summary documented Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training in
slide-board transfers initiated on 3/04/25 and completed on 3/19/25. Skilled interventions included bed
mobility and transfer training and the summary showed resident #13 made good progress. Discharge
recommendations indicated resident #13 was discharged to nursing care with an FMP and an RNP. The
prognosis to maintain current level of function was excellent with participation in RNP, excellent with
participation in FMP, and good with consistent staff follow-through. Review of the Physical Therapy FMP
form signed on 3/13/25 revealed RNP interventions included active ROM (AROM) and bed mobility. The
goal was for resident #13 to perform two sets of ten bilateral lower extremity exercises in the supine (lying
back) position within tolerance to improve strength and functional mobility. An additional Physical Therapy
FMP dated 3/19/25 included a goal to assist the resident with functional transfers out of bed throughout the
week within tolerance, utilizing a sliding board. Review of resident #13's Point of Care (POC) History report
for 2025 revealed documentation of AROM on 1/30/25 and 2/17/25, with bed mobility documented on
1/30/25. There was no evidence in the medical record resident #13 received the therapy-recommended
exercises initiated on or after 3/13/25. Review of resident #13's Observation Detail List Report dated
7/04/25, completed by the RNP nurse, did not include restorative nursing goals or a restorative plan. The
documented care plan action was to Continue Current Care Plan. The RNP was not incorporated in the
comprehensive care plan. On 12/04/25 3:14 PM, the RNP nurse stated she had served in the RNP role for
the past two years and was responsible for implementing the FMPs recommended by therapy. She
indicated two Restorative Certified Nursing Assistants (RCNAs) were responsible for performing ROM
exercises, applying splints, assisting residents with dining, and following dietary recommendations. She
shared therapy staff completed FMPs

upon discharge and provided training to RCNAs. She stated she entered FMP as orders in the medical
record, specifying frequency, and expected the RCNAs to document services provided. She indicated the
FMP duration was 90 days, after which the resident was discharged from the program. She stated residents
who declined or failed to improve were referred back to therapy. She stated resident #13 began RNP
services sometime in February and was assigned ROM exercises. She acknowledged RCNAs did not
document sessions provided. She stated if a resident refused RNP services, RCNAs were expected to
notify her and she would speak with the resident, though she acknowledged such conversations were not
always documented. She indicated resident #13 refused exercises at times but validated these refusals
were not documented. She stated she asked an RCNA whether services were provided to resident #13 and
the RCNA stated they were but could not recall if documentation was completed. She indicated she did not
recall documenting resident #13's progress or discharge from the RNP and could not state with certainty
whether resident #13 received the RNP services as recommended by therapy. On 12/04/25 at 3:33 PM, the
Director of Therapy stated if there was a change in a resident's condition requiring therapy, the RNP team
was expected to notify her. She indicated there were no regular scheduled meetings with the RNP team.
She stated the FMP was reviewed every 90 days by RNP staff and could be continued or discontinued
without therapy input. She mentioned FMP recommendations were resident-specific and included ROM,
splint use, and ambulation, with the purpose of maintaining gains achieved through therapy. Review of the
facility's policy titled Restorative Services, dated 10/01/10, revealed the purpose was to ensure residents
received necessary rehabilitative services, prevent avoidable physical and mental deterioration, and assist
residents in achieving or maintaining their highest practicable level of functioning and psychological
well-being. The policy required review of FMPs to ensure continued appropriateness, daily documentation
or restorative services, and to review and update the care plan as needed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain physician orders for respiratory
treatments for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care, of a total sample of 49 residents,
(#33).Findings: Review of the medical record revealed resident #33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen), chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), type 2 diabetes, and Cor pulmonale (enlargement of the right
ventricle of the heart due to lung diseases). Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment
with an Assessment Reference Date of 11/13/25 revealed resident #33 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status score of 14 out of 15, indicating intact cognition. The MDS assessment indicated the resident did not
exhibit behavioral symptoms or reject evaluation or care that was necessary to achieve her goals for health
and well-being. The MDS assessment revealed resident #33 experienced shortness of breath (SOB) with
exertion, used a manual wheelchair for mobility, and received continuous oxygen (O2) therapy. Review of a
physician's Progress Note dated 11/03/25, prior to her admission to the facility, revealed resident #33 used
a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night. The note included diagnosis of obstructive
sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome. A CPAP machine is a common treatment for sleep
apnea and functions to keep the airway open during sleep to ensure adequate oxygenation. CPAP use can
significantly improve sleep quality and reduce the risk of health complications, including heart disease and
stroke (retrieved from www.clevelandclinic on 12/12/25). Review of resident #33's comprehensive care plan,
revised on 11/24/25, revealed a potential for complications related to COPD, SOB, acute respiratory failure
with hypoxia, and chronic Cor pulmonale. The stated goal was for the resident to exhibit no signs of
respiratory distress. A care plan addressing the use of O2 therapy was initiated on 11/18/25. On 12/02/25 at
10:03 AM, resident #33 stated she used a CPAP machine at night but had not used it since being admitted
to the facility because it had not been connected. She stated she expected nursing staff to address the
issue but no follow up occurred. She pointed to the CPAP machine resting on a nightstand next to her bed.
Review of resident #33's Observation Detail List Report dated 11/07/25 revealed documentation of a
respiratory system review. The form indicated BiPAP/BPAP was checked as respiratory device used by the
resident. Review of a nursing progress note dated 11/08/25 read, . Nasal O2 on at 2l (liters), O2 Sat
(saturation) 97%. States at night she sleeps with CPAP on. Review of resident #33's Progress Notes
revealed an Activities Note dated 11/10/25, which read, Resident is alert/oriented makes own choices
regarding activity involvement, on oxygen, CPAP, utilizes w/c (wheelchair) for mobility admitted to the care
for short term rehabilitative care . Review of resident #33's physician orders revealed there were no orders
for CPAP use. Review of an admission care conference note dated 11/26/2025 revealed resident #33 was
receiving O2 therapy and exhibited SOB. On 12/03/25 at 1:48 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) E
stated resident #33 used O2, and she reported to the nurse if it was not set up correctly. CNA E indicated
resident #33 had mentioned she needed to use her CPAP machine. CNA E reported when she began her
shift at 7:00 AM, the resident #33 was sitting in bed or at the edge of the bed using O2 but not the CPAP.
On 12/03/25 at 3:43 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D stated resident #33 had recently transferred
from another unit and she was not familiar with her care. LPN D indicated she had not previously seen the
CPAP in the resident's room. On 12/04/25 at 11:19 AM, the C-Wing Unit Manager (UM) stated new
residents were discussed during clinical meetings held the day after admission. She explained admission
observations, physician orders, progress notes, and initial labs were reviewed at the meeting. She stated
resident #33 was admitted to the B-Wing on 11/07/25 and the B-Wing UM or the weekend

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents who experienced
trauma received trauma-informed care for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for mood/behavior, of a total sample of
49 residents, (#9). Findings:Resident #9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of type 2
diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea. The facility added the diagnoses generalized anxiety disorder on
2/27/25, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on 3/13/25, and major depressive disorder on
3/26/25.Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Annual Assessment with Assessment Reference Date of
11/05/25 revealed resident #9 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15/15 which indicated she
was cognitively intact. The MDS listed PTSD as one of her diagnoses, on 3/13/25.The electronic medical
record (EMR) contained a Trauma-Informed Care Observation dated 2/09/25 which revealed resident #9
had personally experienced a natural disaster, witnessed an assault with a weapon, and was a victim of a
sexual assault.On 12/02/25 at 12:35 PM, resident #9 reported she and her sister were sexually assaulted
by her stepfather and her uncle when they were minors. She stated she still experienced flashbacks and
nightmares related to those events. Resident #9 explained there was a male resident in the facility who
resembled one of her attackers. She expressed he had never done anything to her but seeing him would
sometimes bring back bad memories.Review of resident #9's comprehensive care plan revealed a trauma
informed care plan had not been developed to address emotional support, identify triggers, or instruct staff
how to assist her to effectively cope with her emotions.On 12/04/25 at 2:16 PM, the Social Services
Director (SSD) provided the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) notes for resident #9.
Review of the documentation revealed a note dated on 5/06/25 which indicated resident #9 was seen due
to depression, anxiety, mood disorder, psychosis and PTSD. Per the note, resident #9 reported she was not
sleeping for more than two hours and felt down.The note also identified possible triggers which included
certain scents of cologne, lighting, and loud noises. The PMHNP recommended to add PTSD to the care
plan with interventions to provide quiet and consistent environment, and supportive therapy.There was no
care plan to address the trauma, or interventions to support the resident, or promote her psychosocial
well-being added.On 12/03/25 at 3:16 PM, the SSD reviewed resident #9's medical record. She verified a
screening was conducted which indicated resident #9 had experienced trauma. The SSD acknowledged
there was no comprehensive care plan for PTSD to address resident #9's trauma, potential triggers, and
interventions, and commented the resident absolutely should have had one.In a follow up interview on
12/04/25 at 3:02 PM, the SSD stated it was the responsibility of Social Services and/or nursing to review
the psychiatric notes and follow up on any recommendations.The facility's policy on trauma informed care
dated 10/25/22 indicated, the plan of care should be developed by the interdisciplinary team. The document
advised the Care Plan team should decide which residents needed a behavior management program
versus residents that were care planned with appropriate interventions.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain the overall cleanliness of
the kitchen and ensure that food was stored and distributed in a sanitary manner.Findings:On 12/01/25 at
10:10 AM, the initial kitchen tour inspection was conducted with the Kitchen Manager. She stated she had
been in the position for two years but had been a Certified Nursing Assistant prior to her current position.
Initial observation found the floor unclean, as evidenced by stuck on food under the tables and equipment.
The Kitchen Manager said the floors were cleaned every night prior to closing the kitchen but once per
month the Maintenance Department power washed the floors. She was unsure when maintenance had last
done the floors. The shelves directly below the steam table had a sticky residue and stuck on food. Next to
the dishwashing sink there was a table used for meal prep that had a top shelf where spices were stored.
The spice bottle lids were visibly dirty, sticky, and unable to close due to crusted spice flakes and residue
on them. There was a half empty clear container used to store food thickener that was covered in an
unknown substance, including the lid and a similar uncleaned container of breadcrumbs. Upon lifting both
containers off the shelf, ants crawled all over the shelf which had not been cleaned. The Kitchen Manager
stated shelves were wiped daily at the end of the day.A short time later the kitchen equipment was
inspected, and it was noted that the oven was dirty with burnt food on both the doors and inside. The
Kitchen Manager said the ovens were cleaned daily. Upon opening the walk-in refrigerator, there was a
large tray on the bottom left side that had meat juices dripping on the floor and a box on top of that
containing defrosted chicken. On the top right shelf there was a clear container with fruit punch that had
been dated to be used prior to 11/30/25 and had not been discarded. There was a stainless-steel container
with an unknown orange sauce that was labeled to be used prior to 11/28/25 and not discarded. In the
walk-in freezer there was a box of sausage patties and a box of frozen empanadas, that had been left open
to air, and the items had freezer burn. The Kitchen Manager stated that all staff were responsible for
ensuring defrosted meat juices were contained within the drip tray to prevent the spread of bacteria. The
manager said staff were supposed to ensure all food items past their use by date were discarded daily and
packaged food items had to be securely closed to prevent spoilage and ensure freshness.In the dry storage
closet, there were open items such as a bag of sugar, box of potato pearls, and package of gravy mix that
had not been appropriately closed and were not dated. The floor in this room had dried, crusted food
around the legs of the shelves, that was acknowledged by the Kitchen Manager.On 12/01/25 at 10:30 AM,
the Kitchen Manager provided the cleaning schedule for November and December 2025 and it revealed
staff were signing off they were conducting the daily cleaning of all areas of the kitchen to include counters,
floors, walk-in fridge, and kitchen equipment. The Kitchen Manager stated these areas were not assigned to
a specific person on a rotating basis because it was the responsibility of all staff to ensure the kitchen was
clean and food items were discarded after their use by date.On 12/04/25 at 1:45 PM, the Maintenance
Director confirmed the kitchen floors had been power washed on 11/19/25. He said power washing was
conducted monthly and as needed. He said he was not aware of the condition of the floors and agreed that
they needed to be cleaned.

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Quality Assessment & Assurance
(QAA) / Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee conducted performance
improvement activities to ensure prior improvement measures were sustained. Findings: Review of the
facility's QAPI Plan revealed the facility would gather information from various sources including past
surveys to identify and clarify issues or problems, design and implement interventions, assess results and
sustain improvements using a root cause process. During the previous recertification survey conducted
12/11/23 to 12/14/23, the facility had deficiencies cited at F677 for Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care not
provided to a dependent resident related to nail care, F695 for tracheostomy care and oxygen therapy not
provided as ordered, and at F812 for storage/preparation/service of food in a sanitary manner. During this
survey, the facility was found to again be in noncompliance with F677 for ADL care not provided to a
dependent resident related to oral care and showers, F695 for respiratory care related to use of a
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine and F812 for store/prepare/serve food in sanitary
conditions related to dirty surfaces, presence of insects, opened and undated food and improper defrosting
of meat products. As a result of the repeat deficiency, it was identified there was insufficient auditing and
oversight to prevent the citation. On 12/04/2025 3:59 PM, the Administrator stated there had been some
changes in staff including management staff. He verified that with the changes with staff, some things just
got dropped. The Administrator acknowledged that QAPI plans were supposed to continue to exist beyond
changes in staff.
