The findings included: Review of the policy Medication Storage in the Facility dated April 2018 documented, B. Medication rooms, carts, and medication supplies are locked when not attended by persons with authorized access. On 02/13/23 at 9:57 AM, the treatment cart on the 3S unit was noted unlocked and unattended. The 3S unit was a locked unit for memory impaired residents, with a centrally located common area and nurse's station. The unlocked treatment cart was pushed up against a wall in the common area with the drawers facing outward (Photographic Evidence Obtained). At the time of this observation, eleven residents were noted in the common area. Two nurses were observed at a medication cart, approximately 15 to 20 feet away, and also in the common area. The two nurses were engaged in the morning medication pass for the residents. Both nurses were focused on the medication cart and electronic record, leaving the cart intermittently to administer medications, and returning to the medication cart. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) walked through the common area between the two carts, but did not notice the unlocked treatment cart. At 10:03 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) was on the unit and in the common area, but did not notice the unlocked and unattended treatment cart. Staff E, agency Registered Nurse (RN), passed right by the unlocked treatment cart to go down the 317-324 hallway, and did not notice the unlocked treatment cart. During an interview on 02/13/23 at 10:08 AM, upon surveyor introduction, Staff E, agency RN, stated it was her first day at the facility, and last night's nurse had stayed to help for awhile. During the continued observation on 02/13/23 at 10:15 AM, the night nurse had gone into a resident room while Staff E continued with the morning medication pass. Staff E left the medication cart unlocked and unattended in the common area, and walked down the hallway nearest the elevators. At 10:16 AM the night nurse returned to the medication cart, noticed it was unlocked, and upon return of Staff E, the night nurse reminded her to lock the cart when she left. An observation on 02/13/23 at 10:44 AM revealed the treatment cart remained in the same location, unlocked and unattended, with multiple residents in the common area. Different staff were in and out of the common area throughout the day, but there were times that the area was unattended by any staff. An observation at 11:12 AM revealed the treatment cart was now locked. The treatment cart was used for wound care for all residents of the 3S unit and contained wound supplies and medications. The treatment cart was observed being used for the provision of wound care by a direct care nurse on at least two occasions during the survey week. On 02/13/23 at 3:29 PM, the 3S medication cart was pushed up against the nurse's station, with the drawers facing out toward the common area, and it was noted unlocked again (Photographic Evidence (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105420 If continuation sheet Page 13 of 21 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 105420 B.

At 3:32 PM when asked if there was any reason she had left the medication cart opened twice that day, Staff E jumped up and ran around the nurse's station stating, I left the cart opened? When asked again why she left the medication cart opened, the RN stated, No reason . just busy . and this is my first day. When told about the unlocked and unattended treatment cart that same morning, the RN was unaware, but agreed both carts should be locked when unattended. Observations of the 3S unit during the survey week revealed at least two of the 30 cognitively impaired residents, Resident #71 and Resident #84, were observed independently mobile throughout the unit. Resident #71 was transferred into the 3S unit on 11/16/22. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented the resident as severely cognitively impaired, with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3, on a 0 to 15 scale. Resident #71 was usually in her wheelchair, but was seen by the surveyor independently ambulating from the common area to the nurse's station on one occasion, and from the common area into the staff bathroom in the nurse's station on another occasion. Resident #84 was admitted to the facility into the 3S unit on 01/22/22. Review of the MDS dated [DATE] documented the resident as cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 5. On at least two occasions during the survey, the resident was noted independently wheeling herself from her room into the common area, the dining room, and back. Because of the location of this resident's room, she would pass by the nurse's station in front of where the medication cart was stored, in order to get to the common area or dining room.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2) Resident #28 was identified as being on Transmission Based Precautions (TBP) because of a wound infection. The resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and developed a pressure ulcer of the left heel on 01/30/23. A wound culture was ordered and completed. Residents Affected - Few Review of the laboratory results revealed an MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus) infection that was reported to the facility on [DATE] at 11:31 AM. This report identified which antibiotics were sensitive (meaning appropriate for use), with clindamycin on the report as appropriate for treatment. Review of the physician orders revealed the clindamycin was not ordered or initiated until 02/07/23, five days after the reported infection. Review of the wound care physician's visit report dated 02/06/23 documented the antibiotic choice was clindamycin. During an interview on 02/15/23 at 2:54 PM, when asked the process for receipt of abnormal culture results, Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), explained when a report comes in, they speak with the physician to report the findings and to see if they want any additional orders. When asked what happened with the wound culture for Resident #28 and the delay in antibiotic ordering and use, Staff F stated she was not sure what happened, but she was the one who contacted the physician on the day the clindamycin was ordered (02/07/23). Staff F confirmed she worked on the resident's unit on 02/02/23, 02/03/23, 02/05/23, and 02/06/23, but again stated she did not know how that culture result was missed. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure antibiotic stewardship for antibiotic use for 1 of 1 sampled residents reviewed for antibiotic stewardship (Resident #76); and failed to provide antibiotics for infected wound in a timely manner for 1 of 1 sampled residents (Resident #28).

Resident #97 was admitted to the facility after November 30th and before March 31st, and the facility failed to ensure the influenza vaccine was administered within 5 days of admission. The facility failed to assess all three residents for the pneumococcal vaccine within 5 working days of admission and provide it within 30 days of admission, as per their own policy. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the policy Influenza Vaccine revised October 2019 documented, 1. Between October 1st and March 31st each year, the influenza vaccine shall be offered to residents and employees, unless the vaccine is medically contraindicated or the resident or employee has already been immunized. 2. Employees hired or residents admitted between October 1st and March 31st shall be offered the vaccine within five (5) working days of the employee's job assignment or the resident's admission to the facility. Review of the policy Pneumococcal Vaccine revised October 2019 documented, 1. Prior to or upon admission, residents will be assessed for eligibility to receive the pneumococcal vaccine series, and when indicated, will be offered the vaccine series within thirty (30) days of admission to the facility unless medically contraindicated or the resident has already been vaccinated. 2. Assessments of pneumococcal vaccination status will be conducted within five (5) working days of the resident's admission if not conducted prior to admission. 1) Review of the record revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The family representative for Resident #21 consented to the receipt of the pneumococcal vaccine on 09/15/22. Review of the record lacked any evidence of administration of that vaccine. During an interview on 02/16/23 at 9:35 AM, the Staff Developer/Interim Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) explained Resident #21 had infections in September and December that prevented them from administering the vaccine at that time, but agreed as of the survey, Resident #21 still had not received the Pneumococcal vaccine, and had no reason for the delay. 2) Review of the record revealed Resident #78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the record lacked any information related to the offering or administration of the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. The Interim ICP was asked to locate and provide the information. During an interview on 02/16/23 at 9:28 AM, the Interim ICP provided documentation of consent for both vaccines as of 12/04/22, more than 5 days after admission to the facility. The Interim ICP further stated Resident #78 had a virus the end of December (12/29/22), which would have excluded her from receiving the vaccines at that time, but agreed to the continued lack of administration of both vaccines. 3) Review of the record revealed Resident #97 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Further review of the record lacked any information related to the offering or administration of the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. During an interview on 02/16/23 at 12:34 PM, the Interim ICP provided evidence Resident #97 had consented to receive both vaccines upon admission to the facility, explained the orders were not written and or entered into the electronic system, and thus the resident did not receive either vaccine.

F 0885 Report COVID19 data to residents and families. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to proactively notify residents, their representatives, and families of any positive COVID-19 cases, by 5 PM the next calendar day following the occurrence, for the past two outbreaks reported by the facility (12/29/22 and 02/10/23). Residents Affected - Many The findings included: During an interview on 02/13/23 at 1:40 PM, the Staff Developer/Interim Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) explained the facility's last resident COVID-19 outbreak began on 12/28/22, resulting in eleven positive residents, all residing on one unit. The ICP explained that no staff were positive at that time. This was confirmed by the Resident COVID-19 infection log that documented positive residents on 12/29/22, 12/30/22, and 01/04/23. Review of the Employee COVID-19 Tracking Log revealed one positive staff member, Staff M, Registered Nurse (RN), as of 02/10/23. The Interim ICP stated the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) would be responsible for the notification to the residents, their representatives, and families. During an interview on 02/15/23 at 10:41 AM, when asked how the residents, their representatives, and families were notified of any COVID-19 positive case, the NHA stated there was a COVID Hotline number for the residents or families to call to get an update. When asked if that meant a resident or family would need to call into the Hotline number on a daily basis to see if there were any new cases, the NHA agreed and again confirmed she updated the information on the Hotline with each new case, but does not have any method in place to call out or notify residents and families. When asked when the last update to the Hotline was made, the NHA stated with the December 2022 outbreak. When asked if she updated the Hotline with the last positive employee, Staff M, as of 02/10/23, the NHA stated she did not, as that employee had not worked on the previous day, 02/09/23 or the day she tested positive on 02/10/23, and none of the residents she cared for or staff she worked with tested positive. Review of the employee timecard for Staff M confirmed she did not work on 02/09/23 or 02/10/23, as she called in sick both days as per the ICP, but she had worked the previous three days on the 7 AM to 3 PM shift.

Residents Affected - Many The findings included: During an interview on 02/13/23 at 1:40 PM, the Staff Developer/Interim Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) explained they were able to do contact tracing testing for the past two outbreaks, one in December 2022 that encompassed the 3S unit, and one in February 2023 that encompassed the 3N unit. When asked where in the resident record the COVID-19 results were maintained, the Interim ICP explained, if a resident was positive, a progress note would be in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and the actual test results are all stored together, but not in the resident's medical record. During this continued interview, the regulation was reviewed with the ICP, and she voiced understanding and agreed they had not been ensuring all testing was maintained in the resident's record.

F 0887 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the provision of COVID-19 vaccinations for 3 of 5 sampled Residents (Resident #21, #78, and #97). The findings included: Review of the policy Infection Control: COVID-19 Vaccination - Resident effective 10/19/20 documented, Screening - All residents prior to admission to the home, shall be screened for their COVID-19 vaccination status. Offer of Vaccination - Any resident without evidence of full vaccination status will be educated on the risks and benefits of being vaccinated for COVID-19 and offered the vaccine to be administered upon it's next availability. Evidence of this education and consent or declination will be signed, dated, and scanned to the resident's medical record. 1) Review of the record revealed Resident #21 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Further review of the record revealed the resident's last COVID-19 vaccination was 02/07/21, as documented by Florida Shots (a website that tracks all vaccines). The Interim Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) was asked to locate documentation of either a consent or declination for the COVID-19 bivalent booster, the most recent booster available. During an interview on 02/16/23 at 9:35 AM, the Interim ICP explained Resident #21 had infections in September 2022 and December 2022, which would make her ineligible for a COVID-19 booster at that time. When asked the process for obtaining and administering any COVID-19 booster, the ICP explained a list of residents who wish to receive the booster is maintained, and when there are enough residents and staff who want it, they have a COVID clinic to administer the vaccine. The ICP was asked when the last few COVID clinics were held, prior to their December 2022 outbreak. During a subsequent interview on 02/16/23 at 12:36 PM, the ICP stated they had COVID vaccine clinics on 10/11/22, 10/13/22, and 10/28/22. The ICP agreed that Resident #21 had been missed. 2) Review of the record revealed Resident #78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Further review of the record documented consent required under the COVID vaccination information. During and interview on 02/16/23 at 9:28 AM, the ICP explained the resident got COVID-19 the end of December (12/29/22), and review of the previous COVID clinic sign up sheet on 10/28/22 did not capture Resident #78. 3) Review of the record revealed Resident #97 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the record documented the resident refused the Bivalent booster. The ICP was asked to locate and provide the education and declination of the booster. During an interview on 02/16/23 at 9:31 AM, the ICP explained she had just spoken to Resident #97 who said she refused the Bivalent booster because she had missed the second booster and thought she did not qualify. The ICP stated she educated the resident today and she subsequently consented to receive the Bivalent booster.
