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 follow the care plan related to use of bed and chair alarms, for 1 of 5 sampled residents reviewed for falls. Resident #20 had a history of falls, one of which was an assisted fall to the floor when a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) heard the alarm, thus preventing injury. The findings included: Review of the record revealed Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], documented the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively impaired. This MDS lacked any documented behaviors, and documented the resident needed the extensive assistance of one staff for transfers and ambulation. The MDS documented Resident #20 had falls in the past 2 to 6 months. Review of the current fall risk assessment dated [DATE], documented Resident #20 was a high risk for falls, with a score of 19. This assessment documented any score above a 13 indicated the resident was at a high risk. Review of a progress note dated 02/18/23 at 7:45 AM, revealed the nurse was called into the room of Resident #20, and observed the resident sitting on the floor. This note further documented the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said she lowered the resident to the floor, as she had heard the bed alarm go off, and was able to assist him safely to the floor. No injuries were noted. Review of the care plan dated 01/08/23, documented Resident #20 was at risk for falls related to decreased mobility, weakness, and oxygen use. One of the documented interventions was the use of the pressure alarm. An observation on 07/17/23 at 11:10 AM, revealed Resident #20 sleeping in bed. He was dressed, lying on top of the covers, with his wheelchair facing the side of the bed, as if he had propelled himself to the bed and transferred himself into the bed. The bed and wheelchair lacked any type of pressure alarm. A low beeping was heard in the room, and the alarm pad and box was noted on the top of the dresser, located across from the foot of the bed, and the low battery light was flashing with each soft beep (Photographic evidence obtained). On 07/18/23 at 8:28 AM, Resident #20 was again observed in bed, with the wheelchair in a similar location as the previous day. The low battery light was still flashing with the soft beeping heard (continued on next page) 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.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few (Photographic evidence obtained). The alarm pad and box had been moved to a different location on the dresser. During an interview on 07/19/23 at 12:09 PM, when shown the alarm pad on the dresser, and asked if Resident #20 needed it, Staff, N, CNA, stated, I don't know. The CNA said something about working other units, but was very difficult to understand. The alarm box was no longer on the dresser and no beeping was heard. The telephone-like cord was noted coming from under the bed sheets, but was not hooked up to the alarm box. Resident #20 was lying in bed. During an interview 07/19/23 at 12:14 PM, when asked if Resident #20 was a fall risk, Staff P, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated Oh yes, he tries to get up all the time. When asked what interventions were in place for the resident, the LPN stated the bed and chair alarm. The LPN stated we try to educate and encourage the use of the call light and to ask for help. When asked if she was aware of the low battery beeping and light for his alarm, the LPN stated she thought it was his alarm that needed battery changes yesterday. The LPN explained that the Social Services Director brought her the alarm yesterday, and she sent it to maintenance, as she is unable to open the back of the alarm box as she doesn't have that tiny little screwdriver. An observation with LPN at this time revealed the alarm box was hanging from the top of the bed rail, but not hooked to the pad in the bed. The LPN stated, When I don't have my regulars . this happens, as she proceeded to hook up the bed alarm.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm 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 nutritional services to meet the needs for 2 of 5 sampled residents, Residents #65 and #137. The Registered Dietician (RD) failed to do an accurate quarterly assessment for Resident #65, failed to initiate weekly weights with the identification of a significant weight loss, and failed to follow up with the physician on his recommendation for an appetite stimulant. The RD failed to ensure timely interventions for Resident #137, who had a significant weight loss. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the facility's Policy, titled, for Weight Assessment and Intervention documented, in part, the following: 3) Any weight change of 5% or more since the last weight assessment will be retaken the next day for confirmation. If the weight is verified, the nursing will immediately notify the Dietitian. 4) The Dietitian will respond within 72 hours of receipt of notification. Care Planning 10) Individualized care plans shall address, to the extent possible: p. The identified causes of weight loss; q. Goals and benchmarks for improvement; and r. Time frames and parameters for monitoring and reassessment. This policy also described a significant weight loss as 5% or more in one month, 7.5% or more in 3 months, or 10% or more in 6 months. 1. Review of the record revealed Resident #65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 07/04/23, documented the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. This MDS documented the resident's weight as 107 pounds and the resident had had a significant weight loss. Review of the current weight revealed Resident #65 had a current weight of 103.5 pounds. On 12/05/22, the resident weighed 131.1 pounds, and on 06/05/23 the resident weighed 107.1 pounds (the dates utilized by the RD during his last assessment, indicated Resident #65 had a significant weight loss of 18.31% in the past 6 months). Review of the nutritional assessment dated [DATE], completed by the RD, documented the quarterly review with a non-significant weight loss trend since in April 2023 of 3.4%, and a 90-day weight loss of 6.7%. This assessment documented a net significant weight loss of 21.8% over the past year. This assessment continued and documented the RD changed the Ensure to Med Pass (a protein supplement) to three times daily (Note this had been done on 04/12/23, not with this assessment), along with magic (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105410 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 20 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 105410 B.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few cup twice daily (Note Resident #65 had an order for magic cup three times daily since 02/16/23) to help with trending weight loss which it seems to have slowed down recently. This assessment continued with the weight loss is still concerning with a BMI (body mass index which should be over 20) now less than 20. Appetite stimulant recommended per RD as resident continues to lose weight despite aggressive supplement support and meal/snack intakes. Goal: Halt weight loss and promote weight gain back to desired BMI of 23. Current BMI = 19.59. This nutritional assessment lacked a six-month weight calculation, which was part of their policy in order to determine significant weight loss, which would be 10% or more in the 6-month timeframe. During an observation and interview on 07/17/23 at 12:24 PM, Resident #65 stated she had lost a significant amount of weight but was ok with her current weight. The resident appeared quite thin. On 07/20/23 at 9:21 AM, Resident #65 was just finishing her breakfast. She was fed by Staff R, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), who confirmed she ate her yogurt and sausage, encompassing about 25% of her meal. A magic cup was not observed on the breakfast tray, and the CNA confirmed it was not served with her breakfast, but usually was provided with lunch. During an interview on 07/20/23 at 10:11 AM, the RD was shown his nutritional assessment of 07/03/23, and was asked what happened to the recommended appetite stimulant. The RD was unable to find the order, and stated to Staff B, RN/Unit Manager, Did I say I was going to follow up with (name of doctor) about the appetite stimulant? The Unit Manager stated, Yes, you did, but I can text him now; I'll take care of it. When asked about weekly weights, the RD stated if there was a significant weight loss, the resident would be put on weekly weights, but he was not sure of the specifics because he was fairly new and would check with restorative. The RD was asked to provide their nutrition policy that included information on significant weight loss and weights. The RD was also asked about the magic cup that was ordered three times daily with meals, but not provided on that morning's breakfast tray. The RD stated he does not generally order the magic cup for the breakfast meal as it is like ice cream, and stated the meal ticket system would have the magic cup as twice daily, with lunch and dinner. On 07/20/23 at 10:36 AM, the RD returned with the policy. Upon review of the 6-month weights, the RD agreed Resident #65 had had an 18.31% weight loss in 6 months and should have been put on the weekly weight schedule. 2. Resident #137 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Cerebral Infarction, Bipolar Disorder with psychotic features, Vascular Dementia with other behavioral disturbance, Mood Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following Cerebral Infarction affecting right dominant side, Muscle Weakness, Cognitive Communication Deficit, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation, Seizures, and Gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The facility's Policy, titled, Weight Assessment and Intervention stated, in part: 3) Any weight change of 5% or more since the last weight assessment will be retaken the next day for confirmation. If the weight is verified, the nursing will immediately notify the Dietitian. 4) The Dietitian will respond within 72 hours of receipt of notification.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few An updated MDS Assessment completed on 07/05/23 noted that Resident #137 required supervision / touch assistance for eating. The Care Plan for Resident #137 showed the following areas of concern related to nutrition: 07/06/23 Speech Therapy Evaluation - Problem: Impaired chewing and/or swallowing skills which affects: nutrition intake, and weight loss. Requires modified diet due to: pharyngeal skills impairment and cognitive impairments. Requires Modified diet: Regular textures and nectar thick liquids. 05/09/23 Nutritional Status - Problem: [Resident #137] meets criteria for malnutrition / altered hydration related to MNA score, comorbidities, decline in functional status; recent stroke, hx of dysphagia. (Last reviewed 06/11/23). No other nutritional interventions were found in the care plan. Resident #137's dietary orders were reviewed. Resident #137's diet was to include no added salt, regular consistencies, with nectar thick liquids, crush meds, ordered 07/06/23. Dietary liberties on special occasions, ordered 05/15/23. Monthly weights once between 1st and 7th of month, ordered 06/06/23. There were no updates to the orders for weights considering the significant weight loss noted on 07/01/23. Health Shakes with meals (8:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 5:30 PM) were ordered on 07/11/23. Even though greater than 10% weight loss was noted on 07/01/23, the Health Shakes were not ordered until 07/11/23. General Order dated 05/17/23 noted that Resident required assistance with eating each shift; however, the MDS documented Resident #137 required supervision with eating. On 07/19/23 at 12:30 PM, a lunch observation was made of Resident #137. The resident was observed sitting in his wheelchair in the day room on unit 300. One Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), working in the day room, set up the resident's tray by opening his vanilla shake and mixing thickeners into his beverages. Resident #137 was seen picking up his coffee cup with his left hand and drinking from the cup; however Resident #137 could not use his eating utensil (fork) to get the food from his plate to his mouth, as he kept trying to use his right hand to do so. Resident #137 spent 10 minutes (from 12:30 PM - 12:40 PM) trying to get the mandarin orange segments out of small cup and into his mouth. He was trying to pour out the segments into his mouth, but the segments would not come out of the cup. After 10 minutes, one of the segments came out of the cup and went into the resident's mouth. At 12:42 PM, a second CNA came by and used the resident's fork to put a bite of meat onto the fork and fed it to the resident. When the aide left, the resident tried to pick up the fork to use it, but it immediately fell out of his hand and onto the floor. The second aide noticed that I was observing Resident #137 during his meal.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on record review and interview, facility staff failed to follow-up on a pharmacy request for a physician clarification related to an ordered medication for 1 of 38 sampled residents (Resident #206). Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the record revealed two current orders, both dated 06/07/23, for the medication Budesonide, a 3 mg (milligram) tablet, for Resident #206. One order was for the tablet to be given once daily, while the second order was for the medication to be given three times daily. Budesonide is a class of medication called corticosteroids that works by decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the digestive tract. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #206 revealed both orders had been entered into the electronic medical record (EMR), and Resident #206 received the 3 mg tablet daily at 9 AM, for the daily dose, and at 6 AM, 2 PM, and 10 PM for the three times daily dose. Review of a progress note dated 06/19/23 at 7:42 PM documented Resident #206 did not receive the budesonide, as the drug was currently unavailable. This note further documented that the pharmacy was contacted, and the nurse was advised the medication was received on 06/07/23, and it was too soon to refill. The nurse documented there were multiple orders on file, the order needed to be clarified, and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was made aware. During an interview on 07/18/23 at 2:08 PM, when asked the usual dose for the 3 mg tablet form of budesonide, upon research of the drug, the Consultant Pharmacist stated 9 mg daily or 3 mg three times daily. During a side by side review of the record, when shown the two orders, the Consultant Pharmacist had no answer, but stated he would look into it. During a side by side review of the record on 07/18/23 at 2:44 PM, Staff A, LPN, who entered both orders, recalled the daughter told her that Resident #206 was previously on the budesonide four times a day, but that she wanted it three times daily, with a one time as needed dose each day. Staff A stated she spoke with the resident's physician, who agreed with the three times daily routine dosage, and one as needed dose daily. Upon review of the orders and the MAR, the LPN agreed Resident #206 had received the budesonide daily at 6 AM, 9 AM, 2 PM, and 10 PM, which was not the intent of the physician. The LPN stated she entered the daily as needed dose incorrectly into the system, further stating she was kind of new with that particular EMR system. During a subsequent interview on 07/19/23 at 1:29 PM, the Consultant Pharmacist provided a copy of the three times daily order dated 06/07/23 from the pharmacy that documented, Please clarify dose and relation to duplicate medication for QD (daily) dosing. The Consultant Pharmacist stated it was faxed to the facility, but the facility staff do not have a record of this or know what happened. During an interview on 07/20/23 at 3:36 PM, when asked if he recalled anything about the budesonide 3 mg tablet for Resident #206, the physician stated he did not.

On [DATE] at 1:25 PM, the surveyor entered the 'Nursing Administration' offices on the way to the MDS (Minimum Data Set) office. which was located at the back of the Nursing Administration office area. Upon entering the offices, the DON and ADON were standing at the front desk, and the ADON was in the process of signing a COVID-19 test result. On [DATE] at 2:02 PM, the DON provided the COVID-19 negative test result for Resident #206. When asked why this test, dated [DATE], was not signed by Staff I, LPN, who stated and documented in the progress notes that he completed the test, the DON stated, He did the test and it was witnessed by the ADON, but he did not fill out the paper. When asked if they just now filled out and signed the COVID-19 test result, as the surveyor walked into the Nursing Administration area, the DON stated yes, because Staff I had not filled out the paper and the ADON had witnessed the test.

On [DATE] at 2:28 PM, the ADON came to the surveyor and confirmed she did justt fill out the COVID-19 paperwork for Resident #206, as witnessed by the surveyor.

Review of the orders for Resident #65 documented as of [DATE] that the resident was to receive a magic cup as a nutritional supplement three times daily with each meal. A progress note dated [DATE] documented by the Registered Dietician (RD) revealed he changed the frequency of the magic cup to twice daily. The physician's order was not changed. On [DATE] at 9:21 AM, Resident #65 was just finishing her breakfast. She was fed by Staff R, CNA, who confirmed she ate her yogurt and sausage, encompassing about 25% of her meal. A magic cup was not observed on the breakfast tray, and the CNA confirmed it was not served with her breakfast, but usually was provided with lunch. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:11 AM, the RD confirmed he had changed the magic cup to twice daily, as he doesn't usually provide the magic cup for breakfast as it is like ice cream. The RD stated he must have not changed the physician's order, although he had changed it to twice daily in the meal ticket documentation system, so the resident was only getting it at lunch and dinner. Review of the corresponding Medication Administration Records (MARs) for Resident #65 revealed the nurses were continuing to document the provision and consumption values of the breakfast magic cup, even though the resident had not received it for breakfast since [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 10:41 AM, Staff Q, LPN, who had signed off on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) that Resident #65 had consumed all of the magic cup at breakfast, was asked how she would know if a resident consumed their magic cup when provided with a meal. The LPN stated she would have to observe the meal or ask the CNA. When asked if Resident #65 had a magic cup that morning, the LPN stated she did not know yet. When asked why she already documented that it had been 100% consumed, the LPN had no answer.
